1 Fierce Determination: The Pawn Vs The Knight[Mokuzai/Miku] Thu Feb 22, 2018 5:49 pm
Mikumi Senju
A-rank
Mokuzai was patiently waiting while staring at his shinobi head-band that was in front of him sitting on the table as he waiting for his name to be called to go to his arena and fight the second battle of the chunin exams, he was not the one destined to be there but as fate would have it his previous opponent had a change of heart before finishing the battle. He was told that the kunochi would give up and declare him the rightful winner of their match, he would later be told that the young kunochi was named Ritsu of Iwagakure and he kept that name in his head so if they ever met again he would be sure to challenge her to a rematch.
But there was also more to it then just getting a rematch, the girl had nearly defeated him utterly to the point he was knocking on death's door. He made it by the skin of his teeth and the grace of his opponent but would it happen a second time? Probably not he thought to himself as he tightly clutched his fists, he had severely underestimated his opponent and he was not about to let it happen a second time.
It didn't take long before he felt a hand on his right shoulder snapping him back to reality, he eyed the hand before he heard the voice of a proctor "Senju,Mokuzai it's time for you to face your next battle." Mokuzai nodded back while standing up, he would then grab his shinobi headband before he tied it tightly around his head with fierce determination in his eye's that signified to all around him "He would not go down without giving it his all"
He would then be lead towards a unknown location with proctor's nearby and it appeared they were sworn to secrecy by someone as they did not bother to convey the location nor the name of the opponent he would be facing, once they arrived near the sight the proctor looked towards Mokuzai as he said "Alright this is our stop, head straight down and i wish you the best of luck kid. Your doing your village proud." Mokuzai nodded back but didn't say a word, his focus was too much now that he was about to enter the battlefield but too show respect before he walked towards the arena he would give the proctor a thumbs up.
As he headed down the path the proctor had instructed him to go Mokuzai would take notice of the sky that was blue but was now turning into a ominous cloud covered black, as he got closer it would only seem to worsen and high rock spire's would start to consume the mass of the area and once he was closer to the center he would be startled by the sound of lightning striking nearby. Mokuzai would then back away from anything that might act as a conductor to stay on the safe side but after a few seconds of no sign he would then look around the area to investigate further, it would seem that he was the first one to arrive as it was a empty arena beside's him in it.
After a couple of minute's had passed it seemed that the lightning strike down on the tall rock spire's every forty four to forty five seconds, it was a good sign that would come in handy when the time arrived for it. He would then walk around more before finding a exceptionally large pillar, it was a good size he thought and it's height compared to the others would mean lightning would most likely hit it faster then the other's. He would then look around the large pillar to find a rock nearly bigger than his torso and he smiled before it faded and he quickly put some of his own chakra into it making note of how he could use the field to fight his opponent, he still did not know who he would be fighting against but it was obvious if the person made it this far that they were not to be trifled with and Mokuzai would have to spend every moment preparing for the next to come.
Now that the stage was set Mokuzai would continue to look around for a hiding spot before finding one that was concealed by three different type's of rock formations that went downwards forming a small hole between them completely concealed from sight other than the entrance and very small hole's that would allow him to see from multiple different angle's in the three rock formations , he would then jump up and go into the hole between the formations however it had been deeper then he anticipated as once he was in he fell down about a foot in a half right into a pile of mud. Mokuzai did not like to be covered with mud but he would have to endure it as he was now on a battlefield, he had no idea who he would be up against but he was ready as he went on one knee making sure to bring his breathing down to a absolute minimum and stayed absolutely still as he waited for the fight to come.

Chakra 145/150
- Jutsu Used:
Name: Substitution Technique (変わり身の術 ~ Kawarimi no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: One prepared item in the user's clear line of sight.
Speciality: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 1 post preparation. Infinite postponement, Instant activation.
Cooldown: 6 posts after activation.
Description: The Substitution Technique is an age-old skill which enables the user to evade the effects of an attack by switching with an item in the area. (The item---or substantial clone---used for a Substitute must be as large as the user's torso, and must be prepared at least 1 post in advance by infusing it with 5 chakra.) Activating this jutsu for another 5 chakra, the ninja moves at untraceable speed for just a moment, and the item does so as well to take the user's place; the ninja leaves behind a flickering after-image for a second, which, if damaged, releases the chakra which holds it in place in a small smoke cloud, revealing the nature of the technique and the item they have switched with. Higher-rank ninjas' afterimages are able to show some of the signs of natural impact as if it were an actual human, if only for a very short period, before 'poofing'. The user coming out of the technique creates a similar audio and visual cue with a small cloud of translucent smoke and a 'poofing' sound on appearance in the location of the item they Substituted with. This technique causes the user to move at speeds untraceable to human perception, and therefore even the user cannot coordinate attacks during the Kawarimi, or activate any other jutsu. They, however, can maneuver near someone and then attack them after the fast-movement is finished.
