Tenmei
D-rank
- Arena Five :
- The Ivory Forest
This arena is a simulated forest, which due to the high salt content of the surrounding sands warped the trees of the forest as a bleach ivory white. Each of the trees are large in scope some ranging from 10 meters to others as high as 20, with their roots flowing above ground, forming patterns and interlacing with other nearby trees. The trees are densely packed, with only a few metres separating each one. In the centre of the small man made forest there is a fifty meter clearing, the grass gives way to shingled shells, many times more coarse than sand in a thin layer over the entire area.
"Miss Sotsuji? You there?"
"Yes? I'm here. What can I do for you?"
She had not slept.
Dressed in nothing but a long sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts cut too high to be modest, Tenmei sat by the wooden window frame, looking out over the grit covered streets of Sunagakure. In her steady hands, she held the third cup of tea for that hour, steam still pouring from it's moist rim even though it had been made nearly ten minutes ago and already had been half emptied. Half emptied like the thoughts that drifted from her mind and painted themselves across the view which had her captivated since sunrise.....
Her silver eyes glanced to the misty surface of the glass to see the young chuunin male in the reflection. He looked around about Strafe's age despite his added height and smattering of child like freckles. It was rather indearing the way he turned to the side, his cheeks flushing a flattering scarlet. It nearly brought a smile to the young female's lips.....though it was not in place for long.
"Sorry to disturb you Miss, but the competitors have been announced for the next round. You are to be versing Ayane Norokami. Please make your preparations and come to the arena as soon as possible.
Again, I am sorry for disturbing you"
As soon as he had left with the door closed securely behind him; Tenmei slowly peeled herself from the slightly faded Tatami mats and stretched out the hours from her legs. There wasn't really much to do to get ready. Even though she had been living in the one house for over a year now, the habits of another life still stuck tight to the vivid memories, causing her to still maintain a constant state of readiness. A change of clothes, new medicine, tea, a little reptile that barely left her side even in the coldest of climates. As soon as she had walked through the door, Tenmei was always ready to walk straight back out again at a seconds notice.
So, knowing her bag was already packed, the female stepped away from the neglected sleeping place and headed towards the suitcase of clothes, Tenmei quickly bound her breasts with the coarse white linen and slipped on her newly repaired sleeveless vest and loose trousers.
With her Kiri head band securely around her waist and her bag over her shoulder, she headed out of the comfortably simplistic room and over to the arena for the second time.
Head there and hope that this fight would last as long as the other one had.
---------------------------
And she thought the crowd was large last time....
It was different this time around. Tenmei hooked the bag free from her shoulders and slid it, delicately, off her arm to the cool ground at her feet. For just a few breaths, the Genin sat down on the bench by the wall, and closed her eyes, taking in the dismal surroundings of her decision. She could hear the constant dull roar of the spectators stomping around, looking for the seats and locating their friends and rivals alike. All the yelling and the cat calls, she could feel them reverberating in her ears, even while down in this room, reeking of blood and rusted defeat. Nothing was as loud as her heart beat right now which threatened to jump from her chest and run away with the doubt that had buried deep inside her memory, along with the habits.
There was no turning back now. her eyes opened to see the doors part and she was motioned to stand and make her way through to the noise. It was time for it to begin again....
Ayane Norokami
Another unfamilar. New. A mystery.
As she stepped in to the arena, Tenmei brushed her sharp silver eyes over the area, taking in the details and letting the memory take its place at the forefront of her mind. It looked oddly beautiful, the way the gnarly white trees reached from the ground like ghostly arms, clawing their way to the sky. Down on the ground there was nothing but the roughly soft sand underfoot, nothing that made any contrast to the stark pale colour of the arena insides. Even as Tenmei stepped in to the cleared out center where the proctor and her opponent were waiting, the bony twigs still seemed to reach over.
All in all it was hugely different compared to the luscious green garden she had been around before. It was such a shame that she had to destroy the beautifully grown Sakura trees like she had, all in order to end the fight as quickly as possible. These pieces of art would most likely suffer the same fate, and that...made her sad.
"Sotsuji, Tenmei. Norokami, Ayane. You are aware of the rules. The first person to declare that they surrender or becomes unable to fight back, will lose the match. And remember, no elemental jutsu.....
Yes, Miss Sotsuji, your ability is allowed but nothing more. Now.
Ready! Begin!"
She didn't need to say anything, he already knew the first thought of her tangled mind. So as soon as the word 'go' slipped from his lips, the dark haired female jumped back to the tree line, her sharp steel eyes never leaving her opponent. No sooner had she reached the forest of one white plants, her hand found itself pressed up against the smooth surface of one of the trunks. It felt odd underneath her hand. Smooth and cool, yet covered in a grainy substance that was thicker on the side that the wind blew. Salt. From the sand most likely.
It barely took a thought for the reaction to happen. A deep breath, a shift of the muscles in her arm. The few fleeting seconds it took to open up her chakra gates and let the heat flow through her like molten lava. Before she took her next breath, the tree behind her flared to life under her hand, bursting in to flames that danced dangerously before catching to the next tree.
And the next one. And the next one.
In a matter of minutes, the whole ring of trees were ignited in to a flaming circle, trapping both male and female Genin inside the clearing with acrid smoke blackening the air above them until the strong Suna breeze blew it away, much to the audience's relief. But while the smoke was one thing, the heat was another. The force that pressed in, thickening the very air and drying it out to make it less breathable. It was as intense as standing in the desert on a mid summers day.
And yet Tenmei could only smile. This...was her life. The liquid heat inside her peaked to match the temperature of the air and rise above it until the heat waves danced around her skin like a flowing dress whipping about in the air. She was ready
So. Tenmei took a few steps away from the reach of the hungry flames and waited. It was his turn.
