To avoid coming to a standstill perhaps it's smart to host the question here where everyone can see - will we predetermine the fight outcome or will we play it all out and see who wins.
We've already voted but Project wasn't there and now Kiku and Shizuka are dropped from the fight (well, Shizuka can still come back but Kiku already made it clear she was running away).
Personally, I'd rather predetermine the outcome. We can satisfy the needs of both parties and work to a compromise rather than arguing for hours about hurt ego's and whose character has the best made up jutsu. It'd be faster and way cooler because we can write in scenes that are far nicer to read.
Well in all honesty I don't really care about what happens ICly as long as it's a good read and something enjoyable.
So just tell me what it will be and I will roll with it.
On another matter, if someone wants an encounter with Yuu - who by all means is entirely alone and moving without any effort of hiding his presence - I kindly ask to contact me. It'd feel rather boring to go through yet another part of the exam unscathed due to lack of opportunity.
ใAppearance/Wardrobeใ ฤito stands around five feet and six inches, marking her at just about the statistical average as far as women her age are concerned. She has piercing yellow eyes fairly reminiscent of a catโs eye and greenish teal hair. She commonly has the back of her hair up in a ponytail allowing the rest to fall beside her face. She also keeps bangs, just long enough to not crawl into her field of vision. She has a fairly slim but toned build and fairly sharp facial features. Specifically her cheekbones and jawline are noticeable fairly easily. Off-duty she sports a white halter neck top without sleeves and a pair of typical blue pants. This outfit leaves some midriff showing. She also sports black sleeves and fingerless gloves. The sleeves reach from just above her wrist to just below her armpits.
ฤito notably looks young for her age. Her quiet demeanor and sharp features paint the picture of a judgemental youth, but she is anything but. She has multiple tattoos which are her drawings in the form of her Bijutsukan technique. Two snakes on her right arm, a large catfish on her left calf, a majestic phoenix on her back, and dragon that wraps around her left arm and shoulder/neck area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใPersonalityใ ฤito is a fairly quiet woman, choosing to listen rather than speak most often. While she does speak up, especially when surrounded by friends, she speaks albeit quietly. However she keeps it fairly exact. She says what she needs to without leaving much room for emotion or contemplation. ฤito has been known by her very few friends to be really quite sweet where it counts. She often goes out to the store to get their favourite treats when she knows sheโll be seeing them and lives on basically the bare essentials. She often spends nights gazing at the stars and painting them, with regular ink of course.
Her art is perhaps one of the most defining aspects of her personality. She is constantly drawing and has even prepared some drawings should she get ambushed and not have time to draw something. However what she often explains away as simply a defensive countermeasure she is in fact simply expressing her love for art.
Her art style can best be described as Ukiyo-e, an expressive and highly impressionistic view of reality. Somewhat contrary to what her personality leads others to believe. However, the specifics of that style often depend on the mood and situation. As a Kunoichi who utilizes Chลjลซ Giga on a regular basis she has taught herself through excruciating training to be able to sketch in said style in incredible times. Able to paint an entire tiger or hawk in little under five seconds. While it is obviously not her most detailed work, it need not be beautiful to be effective. Her style isnโt however, drastically different in combat as she is commonly able to use her impressionistic style to her advantage, drawing faster and accomplishing the same task as one who is constantly aiming for a perfect replica.
Her take on her status as one of the leaders of the Iwa Critical Defense Organization is that while she is and can be sent on missions that arenโt exactly โdefenseโ at least not by definition, she is helping the people of Iwagakure. They were the people who took her in when she couldnโt find anywhere else to go and as such it is those buildings she sketches every night. Thusly, she will always support the village.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใHistoryใ ฤito was born in Takigakure to a loving family. A medical ninja named Hiyoko and a young man who would die before ฤito was born. When ฤito was only two she was entrusted to her aunt, a young woman that ฤito cannot remember all too well. With Takigakure under siege from bandits, ฤitoโs mother was well aware that she could not keep her daughter safe for long enough to justify her living there. Thusly, she sent ฤito with her aunt. Unfortunately, ฤitoโs aunt had other plans and instead sold ฤito as a daughter of a medical ninja and a child with extreme promise to the leader of the sieging bandits in exchange for safe passage to Iwagakure. The bandits accepted the deal however they immediately double-crossed ฤitoโs aunt and took ฤito for themselves. By the time ฤito was four years old she was being taught art by the leader of this group of bandits.
While he was a violent man who took what he wanted from those weaker than him, he was also a fairly art-minded man who had a great respect for beauty. ฤito couldnโt remember him too well either but she simply attributed it to the fact that no single person was one thing or another. They simply were. Thusly she was taught art, however she was barely taught any language whatsoever, she wasnโt allowed to speak unless addressed which was uncommon in itself. While she obviously picked up what she could she had a very difficult time spelling anything and turning her thoughts into words were also incredibly difficult.
It wasnโt until five years later when she was seven years old that the bandits were slain. They were killed by the Iwagakure Critical Defense Organization, a group that ฤito would later join.
She was given a small home and a woman from the Tsuchikageโs office named Shiho would come each and every day to make sure that ฤito had everything she needed and would walk her to the academy. Essentially providing the girl with a live-in mother. But as soon as she was old enough to fend for herself, she did. She bought her own groceries from the time that she was ten years old and became fairly well known around town for her talented illustrations, quiet nature, and status as a ten year old girl living on her own. While Shiho would still stop by unannounced every once in a while to make sure the girl was doing well, she found the girl was highly independent. The small apartment she had was always spotless and her fridge reasonably stocked with about three daysโ worth of food.
After being taught the basics of language and beginning to learn Ninjutsu she found herself progressing very well in the academy, quickly graduating within just two years and becoming a Genin at age twelve. She was placed in a three-man squad in which she was constantly given the feedback of communicating more, which was difficult for the young girl. When she went home there was no one and she was never allowed to speak with her captors unless spoken to. It was an issue to her Jonin team-leader, and thusly she worked with ฤito to attempt to work past it. ฤito grew to admire her team leader for that and aspired to become one herself eventually.
During her time as a Genin she was reached out to by the Kouken clan. They had a young Genin themselves and heard of the girlโs independence, her time with bandits and her ability to learn how to read and write while also making her way through the academy and wanted her to become their aspirantโs sparring partner. ฤito was urged to accept the offer from her team leader, who believed it would be a good amount of experience.
The girls introduced themselves, ฤito and Ayame. They would go on to train day in and day out for the coming months knowing quite a bit about each other without truly knowing each other. Though had someone asked ฤito would refer to Ayame as a friend, there was a tension there. Each subsequent fight would be even harder fought as the girls sought to prove entirely different albeit similar ideals. Ayame at her heart was a pacifist and ฤito was a weapon for her village to use. They butted heads as much as their kunai clashed.
Well after the two became Chunin their sparring matches had continued. They were both twenty years old, Ayame had started on the Barrier corps and ฤito the Defense Organization. They were both moving up in their fields as a shield to protect the people a blade to cut down those who threatened it. ฤito and Ayame had even had a few conversations, ฤito had told Ayame about her childhood and the bandits who had stolen her away from her home, Ayame about the events that transpired with her sister. It was horrible, ฤito remembered thinking, but she admired how Ayame didnโt let it stop her.
One training session that lasted particularly long, the Kouken clan elder who was overseeing Ayameโs training that day was pushing the girl yelling at her, goading her on, but ฤito could read her movements. Every kick was stuffed, each punch punished. It was fairly easy when Ayame became frustrated, her telegraphing increased as most people who were agitated did. Yet when ฤito blocked one punch with a disabling punch to the arm and a leg sweep and Ayame began to fall to the ground, but, as the girl fell a series of hand-shaped barriers reached out to ฤito and snagged her. As Ayame hit the ground Aito was flung at high speeds into the wall aobut twenty feet behind her. Smashing into it with enough force to slightly crack the wall. She felt the wind forcibly exit her lungs as she slumped onto her knees, coughing to catch her breath.
Ayame lurched back up just as fast as she fell and stared at ฤito, fuming over the training. She was tired, being pushed, unhappy, it caused her to hit a boiling point. While Ayame was typically a kind woman, she also had the heart of a survivor and when pushed enough she had the ability to snap. She stood up to yell at ฤito until she saw her handiwork. She covered her mouth instinctively, the words I'm sorry sounded as though they escaped but it was difficult to tell over ฤito's coughing.
ฤito went home that night and thought about what had happened. She assumed up to this point that Ayame was just nice, that in her eyes she was just an annoyance. This mayโve confirmed it. The nice thing to do would be to accept this not quite plain termination of their friendship and agree to go separate ways. However, ฤito enjoyed her friendโs presence and would have a hard time abandoning her. As such she got to work.
She grabbed a blanket from her bed, a nice fluffy comforter and went over to a local dango shop, picking up a fair amount of the treats. The sun had long since set on the day and a silhouetted figure sat atop the Kouken Clan HQ, ฤito joined the girl.
โIโm sorry, Ayame.โ She said quietly her voice riding the cool breeze to the girlโs ears. Ayame looked up at her with reddened eyes, it seemed she had been crying a little bit and she was doing a rough job with holding it back now.
"What do you mean you're sorry?" She asked exasperated.
"I pushed harder than I should've, you should find solace in my presence, not turmoil." ฤito responded quietly, giving her friend both of the dangos and laying the blanket over her while she took out her scroll, ink well and brush. She sat cross legged beside the girl and began to paint the night sky. Ayame seemed to be a loss for words, but as the redness moved down to her cheeks she rested her head on ฤito's shoulder as the night continued on. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ใTraitsใ -Excellent Chakra Control -Average Chakra Pool -Fair Talent in Bukijutsu and Taijutsu -Lacking in Genjutsu -Talented with Fuinjutsu -Excellent with Art-based Ninjutsu and sparing talent in Earth-Based Ninjutsu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใEquipment/Weapons/Itemsใ Name of Weapon or Item: Chลjลซ Giga Scroll Description: ฤitoโs scroll for use with the Chลjลซ Giga Jutsu. It isnโt much different from a regular scroll outside of the fact that it comes completely blank, ready for implementation with the Jutsu. All that is required to activate the technique is the seal of confrontation to be made and the scroll with the drawing be facing open air. Appearance: A simple scroll. Basic tools: Two scrolls, both with ink in them.
A brush with ink running through the handle that dispenses through the Ferrule. Incredibly easy to reload with ink and in an emergency can also be used with blood. Simply raising the tip of the brush allows for it to be refilled. Can currently allow for up to fifty mid-sized drawings to be completed without being refilled.

Name of Technique: Fลซinjutsu: Bijutsukan (ๅฐๅฐ่ก: ็พ่ก้คจ โ Sealing Technique: Eternal Museum) Type of Jutsu: Fลซinjutsu, Ninjutsu Rank: C Range: Personal Nature Type: N/A Description: Bijutsukan allows ฤito to seal one of her drawings into her body, appearing as a tattoo. Through this technique she is able to store animals, objects, or figures in her body while being able to summon them through channeling chakra into the place in which it has been sealed. This can be anything that ฤito paints. It is simply an alternative means of storage that avoids the middle-man that is the scroll she draws on and allows her to prepare for combat more aptly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of Technique: Chลjin Nise Ga ่ถ ็ฅๅฝ็ป (Super Myth Imitation) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: B Range: Personal Nature Type: N/A Description: By activating either Bijutsukan or drawing a fresh creature and performing the seal of confrontation ฤito is able to summon forth creatures of myth itself. These may range from dragons, phoenixes, just about anything. As per usual with the art-based techniques ฤito is known for the limit is on her imagination. This technique is primarily A-Rank because of the difference between these and the beasts created by Chลjลซ Giga. It takes much more chakra to create these monsters and as such they are more durable than the Chลjลซ Giga beasts. They can typically absorb a single Jutsu before turning back into ink. The other notable trait is that each of the beasts ฤito can summon are able to utilize one elemental technique. It should be noted that only one of these creatures can be summoned at once and while they are more durable than a typical ink-based creation they are still fragile in comparison with other actual summoned beasts. Phoenix: Goukyaku no Jutsu Dragon: Mizurappa Lion-Turtle: Doton: Otoshibuta Nue: Rฤiton: Gian Onikuma: Fลซton: Toppa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of Technique: Doton: Noroi Fumu ๅชใ่ธใ (Earth Style: Cursed Shuffle) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: C Range: Personal Nature Type: Earth Description: An extension of Doton: Domu once ฤitoโs limb is coated in Earth she can then transfer that to an opponent. Effectively all she has to do is touch a limb of the opponent and the earth-based coating that was on her arm will transfer onto theirs. As this is not simply dirt, but chakra moulded Earth it can be forced to weigh a substantial amount which is the main application of this technique. It also does not have to be applied to a person. This can slow an opponent, restrict movement, drown them, and various other applications. It does, however require physical contact. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of Technique: Sumi Chลซdoku ๅขจไธญๆฏ (Ink Poisoning) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Bukijutsu Rank: B Range: Personal Nature Type: N/A Description: By wrapping the hilt of ฤitoโs Tanto with a scroll with the words Senkล Suru ฤito is able to activate the scroll with the seal of confrontation. Utilizing it, spears of ink branch out of the hilt and attack the target, their sole purpose to inject ink into the bloodstream. While the body can handle a fair amount of ink, because of the nature of this technique and the fact that it deposits ink directly into the bloodstream. The technique need only connect for three full seconds during a fight to be fatal. Which is of course, cumulative. It is not immediately fatal, however as the veins will turn black and the head will stop receiving the proper amount of blood. The victim will become extremely dizzy, experience intense vomiting and eventually will die to heart failure. It is a slow and painful death that must be treated immediately. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of Technique: Kami no Ishi ็ฅใฎๆๅฟ (Godโs Will) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: A Range: Personal Nature Type: N/A Description: By writing a single word or verb (for example Senkล Suru is โto pierceโ, which is a single verb) ฤito is able to infuse a target with the word that she has written. The technique however is different from most art-based Ninjutsu. While typically one would write on a scroll, this technique requires writing on a palm. The palm then touches the target and the seal of confrontation is made and the Jutsu will activate. This may turn a target sturdy, brittle, sharp, soft, dull, wet, etc. The limits of this technique are once again related to the time required in preparation, its personal range, and the potentially lethal nature.
Life recently punched me in the mouth and I don't know when I'll be back. Just exclude me because how it seems I won't be back any time soon. Hope you guys understand.
And no, teams aren't seperated.
