Izumi

Exhibition:
Arena:
The young red headed Karisuma woke early as she normally did, it was still dark out, and the moonlight still shined in the dull morning. Izumi had won her Semifinal match and was awaiting the final match of the tournament. As had been the norm for the tournament she had been kept in isolation of the other matches and combatants, completely unsure of who she would be facing next. Izumi was slated for an open challenge at the Genbu arena today, she would wait in the arena for any genin challenger that wished to test themselves against her. The young woman dressed in her usual battle garb, a silk shirt and leather pants. She wore a tight sports bra underneath to keep her jiggly bits in place for the fighting. Izumi had finished all of her fights in a decisive fashion, leaving no question that her opponent had been bested once the bout was resolved. Her first opponent was burned and thrown from a bridge. Her second was flung to a pillar and nearly killed he had been placed in a coma since the affair was concluded. Her third opponent she cornered, burnt and broke their collar bone using her ration.  The results up to this point had been a surprise even to Izumi who had expected the shinobi who lived in a village to be better prepared than a nomad like herself. Sunagakure, Izumi’s home had been destroyed and after a brief stay in her new home Kirigakure, she had come to Kumogakure for these exams. Izumi of course had had time to train, and the long days of travel had certainly helped her physical form. She had found that her physical abilities were top notch for a genin via this tournament. To say she was pleased with herself would be an understatement.

It was quite early indeed the cool air helped to keep her awake and energized as she walked through the streets of the village on her way to the café she had come to be quite familiar with, cloud nine. As she entered and sat they immediately brought her hot water with tea, already knowing what she wanted. Every day she had fought, she had done this same ritual. Izumi wasn’t superstitious she simply loved her tea, she sat and enjoyed it for a while contemplating life, the universe, and everything. Izumi had decided today she would wear only her Suna headband, tied around her left bicep displayed proudly. The young woman had become quite sentimental in the symbol that her home represented as a place to belong more than the reality of the corruption and greed that were its ultimate downfall. Izumi had mixed feelings about what had happened, she understood that no issue was black and white thanks to her favored pastime, recording in her journal what she hoped would one day become a history book.  She had even taken an opportunity to speak with one of the men who had destroyed her home village, Mitsuo Sarutobi and his interesting simian companion, Eizo. After finishing her tea and eating a light breakfast consisting of fried egg on toast, Izumi would depart of the arena.

The stars still shone above as Izumi travelled to the Genbu Tortoise, she enjoyed looking at them, the stars here were different but there just as many that dotted the sky as in her home. It was somewhat comforting to keep her solitary ritual intact so long after leaving her home where it had become a daily part of her regimen. Izumi would arrive at the tortoise as the suns first rays would peak over the horizon bringing light and warmth to the world as it rose to the skies. The Karisuma teen would take a seat in the center of the arena looking on for her would be challenger, since this match was for exhibition and not a part of the tournament she would be quite cordial. Not nearly as business like and savage in her fight with Fuyuko. Izumi would bow and introduce herself and encourage her opponent to take a mark across from her. The crowds would surely be filtering in as she waited, the news that Izumi was fighting would bring a crowd.

It had only been a week since Tenjin left Iwagkure to bare witness to these chunin exams, though it felt like it were just yesterday that he arrived because all he has done thus far is train and watch the games unfold without any true action despite the spar with Raphael. The memory was fresh in the his head as he walked toward his match. Tenjin was chosen to represent Iwagakure in an exhibition match because Iwa didnt have shinobi fighting in the exams. This fight was meant for Tenjin to prove himself to the leaders of Iwagakure, and to show what he was actually capable of in combat so that he can request an early promotion to the chunin rank. That was likely the intent behind the Tournament itself, to judge the strength of those within different villages. He began to wonder how the fight was going to turn out, for you see, although he has trained his physical capabilities, Tenjin believes he can and will do better to build up his arsenal of jutsus. He was wondering how he would handle this fight as well. While walking to the Genbu arena, Tenjin was told that he was fighting a shinobi from Kiri, Tenjin has seen this shinobi fight in the tournament and thus knows a bit about her capabilities, although her potential was still unknown to Tenjin. He wasn't too worried about losing, he knew this shinobi was mnore battle hardened than he was, but he could handle himself just fine. Though aside from the skills she showed during the tournament, Tenjin had no idea what this kunoichis fighting capabilities were. He could only hope he possessed enough abilities to make it a challenge so that the higher up can acknoledge his very own potential.

His thoughts quickly faded when he entered the gates in front of him, indicating he was about to enter the stadium. As he entered he could see the sun in the sky illuminating the entire arena with hardly a cloud in site, an odd view since this is the first time in his stay that he saw Kumogakure with little to no clouds. A drastic change from the day Tenjin had arrived. Tenjin began walking down his path, kung fu boots and all, draped in his all black gi concealing his torso, and legs. He came with his usual weapon pouches resting on the inside of his gi, and on the right side of his hip. As he made his way down it didn't take long for him to realize the stadium was resting on the back of a giant tortoise.

He walked up the steps to the central platform and proceeded another few steps before coming to a stop. Tenjin would see that it was the Kiri kunoichi as he suspected who had taken our her opponents with a unanimous decision. "So I'm going up against you." Tenjin spoke the moment he saw Izumi. As she bowed to Tenjin, Tenjin would also do the same before again speaking."My name is Tenjin, representing Iwagakure in this exhibition match." A sly grin spreading across his face. Tenjin was standing 20 meters away from his opponent, which he suspected is a great distance to prepare himself in case Izumi decided to pull any fast one, Tenjin was going to be prepared. “You are actually deceptively beautiful if you dont mind me saying.” As Tenjin said this, he would drop all of his senbons on the ground around him, and grab his kunai with his left hand and his newly aquired tanto on his right. Tenjin was aware of that this kunoichi was from Kirigakure, but he was surprised to see a Sunagakure headband wrapped on her forearm. “You must tell me the story of why you are representing two villages some time. Maybe after this fight?” As soon as Tenjin said this, he squared himself up in his signature combat pose, ready for anything. ‘What will she do now then’

Izumi’s wait would be ended by a challenger finally approaching. It was mid-morning and a young boy from Iwagakure entered the arena and bowed. "So I'm going up against you. My name is Tenjin, representing Iwagakure in this exhibition match. You are actually deceptively beautiful if you dont mind me saying.  You must tell me the story of why you are representing two villages some time. Maybe after this fight?"  Izumi would smile at the young boy’s flattery, he’d called her beautiful. From someone her own age she would have rolled her eyes at the comment as mere distraction however from one as young as this Tenjin, it was a trifling amusement. Tenjin was the second from Iwagakure to use flirtations in casual conversation with her. The first one to do so had been Kejido Heishi, a young man who was every bit as strange as he was handsome. Izumi had been taught a valuable lesson in genjutsu defense by the man thankfully her mentor, Syekren Uchicha had been there to guide through the escape from the technique he had used. Tenjin was much shorter than Izumi and was slight of build as well. The boy was wielding a kunai and a tanto at her. If the young Karisuma smiled at him again before putting together a kind reply, ”Compliments are always welcome Tenjin. I’ll tell you what, why don’t we duel without chakra, only taijutsu and weapons? Either one can yield at any time. If you do well enough I’ll tell you why I represent two villages.”

Izumi would assume Tenjin was in agreement based on his fighting stance. Izumi drew a kunai on her left hand and senbon between her fingers in her right. Izumi would close the gap between them and begin to circle away from Tenjin’s right hand to try to avoid his tanto staying at a distance 1.5m. It would outrange Iuzmi slightly even though she had a good reach advantage on the boy. The least she could do was respect the blade and try to stay in a safe range from the boy. Izumi would make the first strike however, flicking her wrist and sending the first three senbon towards the boy’s stomach. Should the boy block the needles with his tanto or take the needles to his stomach, Izumi would stab towards his neck with the kunai and send a kick towards his head. Otherwise Izumi would await his strike and aim to grab his wrist should he lunge, twisting it to disarm him.

Tenjin likes to consider himself someone interested in the world, and thus he took the challenge that the young kunoichi brought to the table. He is determined to give her a good match, as he is truthfully interested in her current condition representing two different villages. Tenjins allegiance is strictly to one village, but even he has heard of something major happening in Sunagakure due to the influx of migrants in Iwagakure. Nevertheless, he would like to know what exactly happened in Sunagakure, and maybe it would be better to hear it straight from someone who had lived there which Tenjin suspected could probably be Izumi. ‘Unless the Sunagakure no sato headband is a parents.’

Tenjin was intrigued to see this kunoich begin the battle. He has heard a lot about her and even saw a couple of her matches, but seeing her in action is a whole different breed of animal. With Senbons flying at the young shinobi, he was able to swing his kunai over to block each coming projectile. With the clinking of metals ringing throught the field, Tenjin then noticed the fiery red haired kunoichi strike at his jugular with her kunai. With ample reaction time, Tenjin was able to utilize his Tanto to block the kunai but suddenly was attacked again with no break in between time. Izumi went for a kick to the head, and utilizing his keen perception capabilities Tenjin realized that her form wasn’t necessarily up to par with his, which forced the young shinobi to deduce that this kunoichi was not a taijutsu specialist. Tenjin figured he would try something in the split sec that the attack came in, and as Tenjin was kicked on his head, he was therefor able to utilize this opportunity to cut the kunoichi with his kunai right on the same leg she used to kick Tenjin. Tenjin just went for a quick slice, considering that he didnt want to injure one of the main acts in these Chunin exams.

Tenjin without hesitation decided to run from Izumi after he struck. Whether the attack made contact or not, Tenjins plan was the same. Tenjin would run at top speed away and around Izumi in order to get to where she stood before the match began. While running, Tenjin kept an eye out in case he was being chased because if he was, he was ready to throw his kunai back at Izumi and utilize his ace eye to hit his moving target right on her chest; and if he wasn’t, he would do the same and throw the kunai at Izumi but after he reached his destination.

Tenjin was more than a match for Izumi in hand to hand combat. The young woman probably had the edge when it came to Ninjutsu, she had definitely proven her abilities there during the exams however this was not that kind of battle. Izumi had agreed to terms with the young boy and he was punishing her on those terms. The young one easily kept up with her attacks marking himself at least an equal to her physically. After her kick missing the young man she even felt the lick of metal on her thigh, opening it and causing a bit of bleeding. It wasn't deep and she would easily recover before the exams, however it was still painful having a kunai bite into ones flesh. The young man backed off from her and when he turned his back Izumi would throw three more senbon aimed for the center of his spine. The young woman would take off after him, as she pursued he threw a kunai at her which she easily parried with her one kunai held in her left hand. Izumi was smiling, enjoying the light hearted sparing match that the two were enjoying. When Izumi would reach the young man she'd stab towards his neck once more and follow it up with a kick towards his inner thigh.

Regardless of the result, afterwards the young woman would jump backwards and bow to the young man once she rose she would smile and speak kindly, “It is clear to me I'm not matched with you in taijutsu, Tenjin of Iwagakure. I concede to you in this contest. As a reward, I'll tell you why I'm wearing the Sand headband today. My home village was destroyed, by three very powerful shinobi. While it's true what they say about the corruption that was occurring there, a lot of innocent lives were lost in the fires. I wear my headband in memory of those that died that night. It took me a long time to not see the faces when I closed my eyes at night. So, after the destruction I fled to the Mist Village and the Mizukage was kind enough to not only allow me into her village but to sponsor me for these exams. I'm happy to do both of my homes proud even if it's unorthodox.” By the time she finished her speech the beginning of tears would be visible in the young woman's eyes, ”Excuse me. I ask your leave young Tenjin.” With her final words she would leave for apartments to rest for her match the next day against Nova.

Tenjin saw senbons coming at him, when he immediately utilized his tanto to deflect the attack. Seeing Izumi run toward him, Tenjin was able to charge at her too. With a kunai once again targetting his juggular, Tenjin would block it in a simillar manner to the first blocked attempt. Izumi would repeat her routine of striking with a kick after the attack which became rather predicatable for Tenjin as he kicked as well, nullifying the attack. It didnt take Izumi long before she backed up and gave herself a safe distance. Tenjin was expecting another attack before he noticed the young kunoichi bowing. This was obviously a sign of the end of the battle, which appeared to have made the fans go crazy. The exhibition match is after all, an entertainment for the spectators that were here to watch the Chunin exams final round. Izumi is the final act in this tournament, and Iwagakure just wanted Tenjin to represent his town in this exhibition match so that villages still knew that Iwagakure still possessed strong shinobi. While the fans cheered, Tenjin also bowed to both Izumi and the fans. ‘I will show them all that Iwagakure is more than capable.’ Tenjin thought.

The young shinobi was happy to hear the finalist kunoichi acknoledge his taijutsu capabilities as he certainly prides himself in his prowess in the specialty. Tenjin has seen Izumi in action during the exams, so he doesnt need to enlighten her with his thoughts on the matter of her skills since she is certainly aware, winning all of her matches thus far. She also answered his inquiry in regards to why she was representing two different villages, which Tenjin heard her story, Tenjin couldnt help but feel like investigating to see who the three shinobis were that laid ruins to Sunagakure. A tear flowed down the young kunoichis face, and before he was able to as if she was alright, the women excused herself and left. Tenjin stopped to ponder what just happened, and before he left, he decided to look around the stadium. The fans cheer sounding like a roar, and although Tenjin was used to the spotlight, he realized that it wasn’t necessarily that ‘bad.’ Nevertheless, being an ANBU is all Tenjin wished for. Serving his nation from the shadows. But it was here that he thought that, ‘If I am ever called up by the higher authorities in Iwagakure to become Tsuchikage, I may have to consider it.’
