Ukiyo
Dead
Ukiyo paced outside the door of Arena Eight. Her steps were short and quick, going back and forth from one wall to the other every second. She bit the nails on her right hand nervously, beads of sweat forming beneath her bangs and a few sliding down the side of her face. Ukiyo's eyes were wide and her expression displayed how she was brooding over the coming match. Death trap... How did we go from a forest to...this? Spikes, darkness, cylinders; how the hell are we supposed to fight in there? Are they trying to kill us? Ukiyo's pacing sped up. Her hands were shaking, making biting her nails increasingly difficult. Could the proctors even protect us in there? I doubt it. That's why we signed the release, huh? Great...great...great great great great. As the shaking became more intense, Ukiyo stopped at one of the walls and slammed her fast against it. Fuck. Fuck. Ukiyo clenched her eyes shut, her fist so tight that it made the joints in her fingers hurt. Her teeth ground against each other, I can’t stand this. My stomach’s in a knot and I feel like I’m going to puke.
Ukiyo’s mouth opened, her teeth and eyes still clenched shut. “Grrrr…” Ukiyo’s growl was low and soft. It slowly grew louder. “Grrrrrr…” As it grew in volume, Ukiyo’s eyes slowly peaked open. “Rrrrrr…” As her fear was overcome by rage, Ukiyo pulled her arm back and pounded the wall again, her eyes opening wide as she screamed out, “RAAAAAAAA!” Saliva sprayed the wall as Ukiyo bore her teeth, resembling her animalistic nature. As she panted, Ukiyo’s hand slid down the wall and her mouth slowly closed. She switched to breathing out her nose in an attempt to calm herself, then grasped the door handle and entered the room before she began thinking about it again. She could see the spikes lining the inside of the door, as well as the walls surrounding it. The room itself was very dark, making visibility low but existent. Ukiyo walked into the center of the room, observing the circles carved into the ground (which she could only assume were the would-be pillars) as she waited for her opponent.

- Arena Eight:
- Death Trap
Death trap is an arena that, to the genin inside it, is a darkly lit room, it's ceiling and walls lined with sharp spikes. It is in fact the same arena as they have always fought in with a spiked glass roof so that the audience can observe. The genin, however, are being kept under a constant genjutsu, so that they see the glass roof as solid, and the well lit arena as incredibly dark. The floor of the arena is made up of dozens of large cylinders that, once activated, move up and down constantly. This makes the landscape change with every post. The cylinders move at random speeds and rise to random heights. Due to this, there is a risk of them ramming anyone standing on them for too long into the ceiling. Due to the artificial darkness, both genin suffer a -1 to reaction time. The darkness genjutsu cannot be dispelled, and does not effect the victim in any way except for the visual impairment.
