- Arena 1:
- Lake Oasis
Much like the original lake oasis on which this arena is themed, if an individual were to enter this arena they would be greeted by a plethora of life and vigour amongst the golden and desolate desert which surrounds it. Tall red Shinto Torii gates surround the lake and spread out every twenty meters to the north, east, south and west, with smaller ones moving out to the sub directions. Palms and ferns make up most of the foliage as well as tropical flowers. In the centre of the lake there is a single solitary stone made of marble. The ten Acre in total paradise is a prime area and an equal playing field for all elements.
“You got everything you need dear?” Kichirou didn't bother to look at his mother who spoke, he being more occupied with his equipment spread out on the floor a front of him. The man had received word that this portion of the exams would be a one on one battle with the stipulation being each contestant only allowed to have one item. A single item that if not choose correctly could hinder the individual. Kichirou already knew what item he was going to choose but he wanted the input of his mother, after all she was a former Jounin of Kumogakure.
“Just take a standard deck of playing cards" Nodding at the woman's advice, he pocketed the deck before standing up and given his mother a hug, and kiss on the cheek – something that she return.
“Don't you dare lose in the first round. I'm betting on you.” The words reached Kichirou's eyes as the man made his way out of the apartment heading towards the place where he will be fighting, leaving his mother to her own devices. . .
One Hour Later . . . .
Lake Oasis, due to Kichirou having the luxury of traveling throughout the nations he had the chance of visiting the place where the arena set up was based off of. And if his memory served him right tropical flora of different shapes, sizes and species would litter the area. The palm trees would provide excellent coverage and possible ambush spots for those who wanted to take that route. And what's an oasis without a body of water in the center of it? The body of water wouldn't be transparent, nor incredibly murky. Though the visibility one might have when looking downward probably wouldn't be that great, a mere meter and that was pushing it. And other information Kichirou could recall would have to wait, the man having reached the enterance to the second part of the exams, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves before entering.
A smile tugged on the corner of his lips, eyes glossing over the ten acres, everything was just like the oasis he visited. They even manage to replica the tall Shinto Tori gates surrounding the lake, given respect to the guardians of the cardinal directions. Without measuring them Kichirou could confidently say they were roughly seven meters in height, give or take a meter or less. The smaller ones seem to be half that size, each one being placed into them – representing the sub directions. Eyes took note of the stone placed in the center of the lake – that separated the northern and southern entrance. Kichirou having entered from the northern entrance, it would only make sense his opponent entered from the southern one.
Channeling chakra into his legs, Kichirou bounced to the top of a palm tree, located right beside the northern Tori gate. Being five meters in height, and one of the few tall ones, it would be the perfect place for an ambush. Hunkering down in the top of it, the stereotypical leaves of the tree covering him perfectly. His clothing that matched the coloration of the leaves and bark of the tree, being dark green with sploshes of brown mixed in made him completely invisible to the naked eye – especially if one look for afar. The only viable way in seeing Kichirou is by walking right underneath the tree and looking upward, only than will one be able to spot the gambler. Lowering the intensity of his chakra down to barely academy level Kichirou waited patiently for his opponent to arrive.
All the while thinking how to secure this victory. . .
