Izumi
A-rank
- Exhibition:
- Mission name: Exhibition Match!
Mission rank: C-S
Objective: Fight for the Crowds Amusemet!
Location: Kumogakure no Sato Arenas
Reward: Standard Ryo Payout + 5 EP
Mission Description: Before the Semi Finals came to pass, villages were approached to put some of their best and finest up against those of another, be they former contenders or no. All for the joy of the crowd. These fights may take place in any of the three prior arenas, or the Semi finals arena.
Mission Details: Two / Three ninja (must be PC's) square off against one another in the ring in an exciting and thrilling free for all, they must be of equal rank or up to one rank lower or higher than one another in order to compete against each other. The standard 24 hour posting rule without notice applies.
This mission by definition is considered a social and is completed at the highest rank the group is able to accomplish as if they were doing a mission together (ie, if both opponents are A rank, this mission counts as an S rank mission and requires the WC as such.) This mission can only be completed once per ninja. Enjoy!
- Arena:
- Genbu: The Black Tortoise
Genbu is an ancient tortoise that since time immemorial has been known to associate with the land of Kumogakure to the point that the two are synonymous. Usually used as a training ground for ninja, Genbu has been better suited to act as the staging ground for the Chuunin Exams’ glorious semi-finals. Upon the heart of the turtles’ back lays a grand Colosseum capable of housing thousands of people built for examinations, but now to stage the exams as they reach their climax. The arena is a circular 60m radii neutral field of 1m wide and 1/2 foot thick sculpted natural natural stone panels at the ninjas’ feet where grass can be seen growing between their 1/2 inch cracks. The proctors stand at the edges of the fighting stage, while ninja around them create and maintain and S rank barrier to protect the crowd from action in the arena.
Entrants enter from opposite sides, and may position themselves anywhere on their 1/2 of the arena in their opening post before combat begins.
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.
