ULTIMATE BATTLE!

[Dazar]

Rasouri noticed Temari was planning ot wait. Why wait? Ahh, there she went, thinking to hard. Just move and slice her in half. End this quickly. She drew her face into a snarl before she sighed and replaced her scythe on her back. She would just use hand to hand, and her shuriken befor eshe finished this one off.

She leapt forward and raised a fist. With a fan, she must be long rang. Stay close and her jutsu would feign useless. Or so she hopes. Meanwhile, her shuriken raced out from behind her and came from the side, aiming for Temari's face, which Dakama's fist also was.

Senri stared into the fighting with his souless eyes. His chocolate brown hair fell across his eyes. He shook it away and watched the chakra levels and aura of the people around him. Who to fight? He wondered. I need that second key. His "gaze" rested on Neji. Hmmm... Maybe I could fight him. He has a pretty high level of chakra... This'll be interesting. He thought as a bright smile appeared on his face.

Shiori looked around the arena for Haru or Temari. She couldn't see Haru and shook her head. He can't be out yet! She thought as her long, white hair flew in all drections. She thought for a moment then realized that her white hair probably would atract attention. She wasn't sure if she wanted to fight yet so she went back into the shadows.

((I'll bring Kyo in later.))

[Cloud-chan]

Soryou noticed a girl with white hair trying to hide. He glanced at her.

Then, he walked forward. "Who are you looking for?" he asked.

[Taiki-kun]

<sup>Taiki didn't really care about Haku's small talk, what did worry him, was the barrage of needles flying directly at him. He ducked his face, wishing he was stronger so he'll sink faster... but it was too late. The best he could do, if look down and prevent the needles from hittng him in the face. A few needles managed to Hit Taiki in the back of the neck before he made it into the ground. He arose again outside of the circle of mirrors and looked into the middle of the circle.
"Wood Release, Wood Clones!"
Taiki made a few handsigns and in the middle of the circle, five figures grew out of the ground, it was five wooden Taiki clones. Once they were fully emerged, they pulled out two Kunai each, and threw them at the mirrors hoping they'll shatter. Taiki had no clue of the density of the mirros, but if they are like regular mirrors, they will shatter.

Meanwhile, Asuma had successfully gained his two keys needed to leave the Arena, but the thing is, if he uses them, he cannpt fight again. But, if he dies, he has to wait for another round to start again. He is stuck on what he should do. He dosen't know if he should stick around and help or leave immediately.</sup>

"What an annoying person." She grumbled after noticing the flying Shurkins.

Temari titled her head slightly noticing the shurkin behind her from the corner of her eyes.
She thought fast, and jumped over both of them and ending in a back walk over.

She smirked, seeing thoughts techniques of hers were use less.
"Your weapons are useless."

"She might as well just hand over her key, in return I may not kill her."

She slipped her fan off of her back, griping the sides titled while it still was shut closed, not revealing any of her stars, just yet.

[Dazar]

So she wasn't intimidated by weapons? What about chakra controlled ones? She smirked as the shuriken stopped midair and turned, whirling back at Temari. This was a game. Keep moving that shuriken, she keeps dodging and we'll just haveto see who gets tired first. She sighed. "Weapon? This isn't just a weapon." she said with a smirk.

Without much warning, she leapt forward again. If weapons weren'tgood enough, then her fist had to be.

[Ari ღ]

I guess this person is more anoyying then I thought." She said angrly, grabing her fan off her back before the shurkin got near her.

Temari watched the shurkin egurly while she un-tied her fan from off her back. She asumed dogging wasn't goging to help, so hitting was her last resort.
She held her over-sized fan in both of her hands, planting it on the ground, so the fan came up to her throat.
She smiled at her, not like any old happy smile this smile looked quiet evil.
"Cutting Whirlwind Technique!" She shouted, reaviling all three of her stars.

Kamaitachi is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Sand ninja Temari. Named after a mythical creature, Temari uses her fan to blow a concussive wind that is imbued with her chakra. When her opponent is caught in the wind, a tornado will raise them into the air and hold them with the chakra. The wind will then begin to cut the target with the sickling winds.

All the shurkins coming towards her stopped and was caught by the power ful tornado see crated by useing her fan. Everything seemed to be going quiet well, not one scratch was on her and she allready caught her oppnet in a tornado.
All she had to do was wait for her key to fall out of her pocket and in to her hands.

"Useful? For whom?" questioned Neji. "Because if you are speaking of yourself, we already know nothing is going to change you, Hinata. But, if you insist you come to this battle to be a bite use to you, how about you and I fight? We need to see what the main house of our clan can do."

[Meimei]

Hinata was almost a little relieved that Neji hadn't decided to attack her out straight, although the fact that he was almost offering her a choice seemed a little strange. Still, she should trust Neji-nii-san, right? He wouldn't willingly hurt her if she decided to decline his 'offer', would he? Still, even Hinata knew that Neji was probably more... advanced than her in this area already it was safe to say. After all, he had graduated the Academy a year older than her, right?

Hinata's fingers were still pressed together, nervously as the tips of her fingers were gradually turning pale from all of the pressure she was putting on them. She seemed almost a little confused by Neji's question, to be honest. "We..?" she asked, feeling rather stupid. Maybe he just meant the other members of the branch house...

[Dazar]

Damn. Annoying as ever. But it wasn't over yet, not in the least. The shuriken, being embedded with Dakama chakra was able to continue cutting through Temari's wind, instead of deflecting like a regular shuriken would. Like a mind of its own. Dakama then curled into a tight ball, protecting her vulnerable parts from the slicing wind. This was chakra as well, so she had to just wait it out. Wait, the key to a battle.

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori jumped as she heard Soryou's voice. She hadn't seen him and she was startled. She would usually lash out at anyone who startled her or snuck up behind her, but she was so worried about not being seen that she had completely forgotten about it. She pulled out a kunai and pointed it towards him.
"I'm not looking for anyone." She cautiously replied. At least I'm not anymore... She added to herself. This guy could attack me if he wants a key. I should keep my guard up... But if he, or anyone for that matter, does attack me, I'll have to keep Houkou under control.

[Cloud-chan]

"Oh." he said simply.

Was she really not looking for anyone? She had seemed rather distressed.

He glanced around, seeing a female with hair like his kicking the crap out of a couple of people and a man with a swirly mask watching a girl with a giant fan battle. He glanced back at the girl. "What is this?"

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori relaxed a little. It didn't seem like he wanted to fight. She simply shrugged.
"I really can't say I know... All I do know is that we have to defeat someone and get 2 keys before we can leave. If we lose we get teleported to a place to watch or something where we wait to fight in the next round." She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and tugged on her glove. Maybe he can even help me. She thought.

[Cloud-chan]

So that was what it was. But why was he here?

"I see. Thank you." Seryou said, bowing slightly in thanks. Always the polite one. "I only have one key, though... do you want it?"

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori's eyes widened, but she shook her head. "N-no! That's okay. You'll need it to get out, too. But we can team up...Or if you like to work alone that's okay too....." Her sapphire blue eyes scanned the arena for anyone to fight. I only wish I could've helped out Haru before he was defeated. She sighed and looked back at Seryou.
