The Match-Up
Kichiriou vs Ikki
The Arena
The Rule
-No elemental jutsu
Two days. That's how long it has been since the first rounds of fighting had ended, those advancing having time to rest and treat any wounds. While many did just that, Kichirou, having advanced without suffering any injuries, went to watch some of the other matches – having an invested interested in the competitors. Lady luck shined down on the man for all but one of the individual, he bet to win actually won. That poor Grey fellow lost to some Kumogakure shinobi, the exact details of the match not being known by Kichirou, for the only thing that matter was that Iwa-nin lost – making our resident gambler lose a small fortune. No matter there were other ways to earn back, what was lost. Yes, that's how the green eyed male spent the those two days, not bothering in planning to how to deal with his next opponent. Hell the man didn't even know the name of individual who he would be fighting. Just that they would be from Kumogakure.
Kichiriou vs Ikki
The Arena
- Arena:
Sandy Dunes
This arena perfectly simulates the heart of Sunagakure no sato’s desert. Around the area are half sunken ruins of long forgotten civilizations which fell in forgotten wars. Massive stones of wind faded limestone can be seen as well as scattered patches of thickly packed cacti. The temperature depending on night or day is either devastatingly hot or cold enough to chill to the bone, both conditions more than most normal men could possibly bare.

Home. . .
Fate must were having a fields day with mingling in the life of Kichirou. For this would be the gambler second time fighting someone from Kumogakure, the place were he was born. The place that he calls home. And the place were he left four years ago to travel the world. Walking down down the dimly lii corridor, he wonderful if the person that he would be fighting would be someone from his past? Would it be someone who recognized him? The gambler's childhood spent playing in the streets with the other children, followed by putting on card shows for others. Would it be someone who had a beef with him? The man have gained his name because of his gambling nature. If that's the case this would surely be the best place to settle a score. The man haven't really changed since the times in Kumogakure, so there might be a chance whoever he was fighting would know him. . . Of course there were a chance they didn't. . .
Night. . .
At least almost night. The giant orange ball slowly setting, psychedelic colors whirling chaotically in the sky. A small breeze blowing across the area, picking up the loose grains of sand, making them dance rhythmically. Rocks weathered by the sands aligned the five acres of land, parting only at the northern and southern entrances – where the opponents would appear. Metal. Having been twisted and rusted stuck out a meter or less out of the sand dunes, sporadically. The only reminisce of a long forgotten ancient civilization, that were now swallowed by the sands of time. The majority of going across the center of the arena, cutting the northern and southern entrance from each other – like a twisted metal trench a meter high. Small caverns and crevices created by the civilization caving in were prominent in certain areas of the arena. Cacti were also scatter amongst the dunes, given a resemblance of life to the otherwise barren landscape.
This is what greeted the eyes of our resident gambler. Gems sparkling with determination, the man walking towards the metal trench, hand carefully rubbing against a piece of metal twisted to form a spike. Wouldn't do him any good if he managed to cut himself on that rusted piece of junk. Which gave him a reason why to move away from the trench, black boots kicking up sand, the grains hitting against the sandy colored pants that allowed air to circulate through them. Ventiliation were also prominent in the matching shirt. Excluding the blacken boots and holsters. Kichirou could potentially blend in with his surrounds perfectly, if he laid down in the dunes – that is.
He wouldn't do that. . .
No, instead the man stood two meters away from the trench, twelve meters away from the southern entrance. A single standard playing card flipped aimlessly between the man's right fingers, showing it to be a ten of diamonds. Seeing how elemental techniques were out of the question, Kichirou would have to rely on the basics academy skills and a few non-elemental techniques he had in his arsenal. This would be a tough battle for sure. The man just hope that his opponent wasn't a weapon or taijutsu user. Lady luck wouldn't be that cruel.
Sadly lady luck was pmsing today. . .
