Immortal Guardian Shadowfire sighs softly. He would reach into his pouch, and withdraw a scroll. He would drop the scroll to the ground, and it would open. A moment later, a staff about as long as Shadow, and very thin would appear in his hands. Spinning the staff before him he would indicate the seals written at three points. In the center, it was written "Protect," on one side it was written "Seal," and finally it was written on the other edge it was written "Obliterate." Shadow spun the staff before him as the lightning no Yoroi flickered black. A half second later, Shadow raised his hand not holding anything. It was a signal. A massive red blade surged forth from the forest on the left of the opposing team. The blade slashed in front of the team's barrier.

Lathasa held the blade in a way that it would remain thus to block the opposing team's view of Shadowfire. More than that, it would block any escape towards Shadow's direction unless they launched themselves over his vibrating blade. And that? That would be a major mistake. From the opposing direction a near continuous stream of Kunai, Shuriken, and Senbon lashed out. Kara continued the assault, using no chakra but to clone the many projectiles she was throwing... Considering she was so weakened, it was a miracle she was even participating. Shadow smiled slightly. From behind the opponents, Thorn would strike the ground, causing massive cracks to open up in the earth about the opponents on their side  of the red blade. This would follow by a storm of rocks and boulders she was kicking and throwing. Regardless of how ineffective this would be against the Gate of Shadows Technique, it would give Shadow the time to do what was needed, as the  opposing team would be focused on the attacks, and hopefully not let down their guard.

Shadow, whilst holding the staff, shunshined back twelve meters, making eighteen meters the distance between his opponents, and himself. With a flick, he would deftly twist off the end of the staff with the indicate 'seal' and toss it forth towards the red blade. Three feet before it impacted, it would arc, and hover above the opponents, following the will of Shadowfire. As it reached its destination, it would detonate into dozens of wires attached to Senbon, Shuriken, and Kunai. Each of the projectiles would be connected to a disk the hovered in the original spot. The many projectiles would impact and stick to the ground about the opposing team's barrier. The wires would be pulled taut, and a gentle ringing would be heard from them. The interweaving waves of sound would surround the opponents, and if the opponents were unlucky and listened, would be caught within an intense and dangerous genjutsu. Since Shadow nor any of his team had used genjutsu thus far, it would be unlikely his opponents would guess that the genjutsu would be active, or anywhere nearby. Continually, with the opponents being most likely distracted, and forced to keep their defense active, they would most likely be unable to escape or react before they were caught in the genjutsu. To them, it would appear if nothing had changed, and the incoming attacks would still be there. however they defense would seem to cancel.

With the genjutsu active, the opponents would most likely loose their grip on the chakra holding their technique in place, thus their defense would fail. Shadow would continue the assault by appearing the air, and pointing the end of the staff entitled 'obliterate' at the opponents. A moment later, the end of the staff would light up white, and a beam of power would expel from the staff, aimed for the opponents. If it struck, the  attack would knock the opponents off their feet, as well as cause exponential damage to their bodies. If it struck? It would be enough to end the battle. However, Shadow didn't end their. Anticipating his opponents skill, He would shunshin to the rear of his opponents, Thorn having stopped her assault as soon as Shadow's genjutsu took effect, should it take effect. He would point his ring, two twisting serpents that ran from the base of his middle finger on his right hand up to the first knuckle of his finger. It would spark black, as he smiles.
"Raiton: Gian..." A black bolt of lightning would blast off the ring, aimed at the backside of his opponents.

Lathasa watches as Shadow moved with speed that was impossible for him to follow with a naked eye. For once in his life he wished he had the Byakugan, or Sharingan... He sighed softly, as he would release his red blade extension technique, and await further orders. A moment later he was joined by Thorn and Kara. Not long after, Shadow appeared at their position, none of them hiding as they stood at the edge of the forest. Before him, Shadow was twirling the staff, the seal
'Protect' glowing, but nothing occuring... for the moment. Shadow's armor remained, and the rest of the team stood behind him, ready for anything that may come...

Battle Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A2mJ4DTquE&feature=player_embedded

All was going according to plan. By appearing to be hunkering down for an all-out defense, he had managed to lure more of the opposing team into either exposing their positions to him, or, coming closer. That was excellent. The first barrage of attacks would certainly leave a dent... If it weren't for his own set of ideas that were designed to ultimately end this, then he would have fled long ago. However, as first attacks were inbound, he shouted, "BANZAAAAAAAAAAAI!" Every technique, object, projectile, and drop of chakra that had been caught within Eric's gate of shadows in earlier attacks suddenly was expelled in a dark wave of energy.

As a recap before full description: (The most prominent being the renments of the thunder from the divided kirin attacks, the kenjutsu energy from the sword attack from earlier, the water-lightning creature from earlier, and more recently, the spinning column of wind and rain, now degraded somewhat to regular water, and finally, the powerful bolt of kirin energy that had been sent at them as well.)

With all of this, Eric expelled the barrier outward in a fashion that was similar to his earlier firestorm technique. By the time this was happening the genjutsu was just being set up. Pure chakra, turned black via the affinity, cutting wind, shocking natural lightning, and a torrent of water and wind would span out over the entire field of combat, combining the speeds of the individual pieces mixed into a well-blended solution. It moved at both the speed of wind and the speed of lightning, the electricty and water combination forming a sort of psuedo storm release creation that threatened to vaporize entirely anyone and anything caught within it. The wind and chakra would be lagging not far behind, carrying with them the sound genjutsu that Shadow had attmepted to employ, as air was the meduim of which they travelled and were thus re-directed in such a manner. Shadow and his team, therefore had to worry about being trapped in their own genjutsu at this point, not to mention the various weapons and attacks being repelled entirely by the great force of the technique.

Overall, the technique would cover the battleground and, more importantly, the positions of where Shadow and his team were at at the start of the genjutsu within seconds, the first portion of the wave hitting nigh at the speed of light, the second portion hitting at the speed of sound. The ground would once again be churned as the technique spread out in a cataclysmic tale. Chakra alone would not defend against such an attack in its entirety, and Shadow, being relatively close at that point, would probably be the most vulrenable to the sheer speed of the attack, even his Lightnign Armour Release far from impervious to the mixture in question. In essence, when the technique would end its wave of destruction, it would appear as if a monster had dropped a nuclear weapon on the site where Eric and Renna had been standing, save for the fact that spot was untouched by anything. The gate of Shadows' expulsions would nearly flash bomb the entire zone, making it highly difficult for anyone, after Eric initially released the technique, within sight of the group (which they would have had to be in order to visually launched their attacks with any accuracy) would be, in essence, temporarily blinded, though with distance that particular effect weakened.

Essentially, how clear of a view you had of Eric and Renna would be the gauge, with point blank range being absolute and total temporary blindess and them being specs being a blurry sort of sight. When this technique would finish its devestation, the result would leave little left to the battlezone; extending even beyond the shrine and into the forest, this impressive technique would literally make the zone resemble that of a near ground-zero location.

[Secondly, only portions of the attack travel at the speed of light. The portion that resembled the kirin attack that had earlier been absorbed. You can state later in your post that the wires were severed and thus, the genjutsu wouldn't be an issue. Thirdly, the majority of the attack travelled at the speed of wind, as stated, becuase of the wind tornado that you had used earlier been reshapened and re-expelled. It is a little moddish, but the attack is designed to make it hard for you to dodge, as this is sort of the finale I had been planning several turns back.]

Immortal Guardian Shadowfire the world would stand still as a gutteral scream would echo. Just moments before, seconds that would mean the difference between life and death, Shadow would notice a spike in chakra from his opponent's Jounin. Eric. As his chakra spiked the Shadow gate that enveloped him would begin to stir. Everything would seem to move in slow motion as Shadowfire registered it all. A moment would pass as the first wave, this lightning water wave of Eric's creation would be expulsed from the gate. Shadow, who's processing ability was enhanced by that of the Raiton no Yoroi, and the adrenaline that pumped furiously through his bloodstream, was able to see the incoming attack.

It contained two natures, that of lightning, and water. If shadow hadn't known better, he would have thought the opponent was able to utilize that of the gale style. However, Shadow was able to pick up that the two natures were not combined into one seamless attack. This pseudo-storm style carried a lot of danger. Reacting almost on pure instinct, Shadow would shunshin at speeds rivaling the Hirashin further from the incoming wave than he started. Sliding to a halt, he would throw his palm forth, releasing an attack he had used to seemingly ineffectively before.
"Hakke Kūshō!" The vacuum shell, carrying the same properties as his direct contact Jyuuken style, would impact the lightning water wave in a rather furious display. Shadow, without realizing it, had also augmented the attack with a bit of electricity from his Lightning armor. This, of course, did nothing to Shadow's armor which regenerated the lightning in no time, however the extra lightning in the vacuum palm acted as an explosive catalyst. The lightning would impact the lightning of Eric's attack, and act almost as a cancellation for just long enough. The water, whose power enhanced that of the Lightning in the opponents attack and would act almost as a bonding agent, allowing the lightning to jump about with it. However, Shadow's vacuum shell would contact the water, and the residual chakra within the combined attack and disrupt it, causing a portion of the lightning water wave technique to collapse. This would not, however, effect the majority of Eric's first wave, but merely the targeted zone. It left enough space that the first wave would pass Shadow harmlessly. However, it would not end there for our Hero. No it would not.

Meanwhile, as Shadow was combatting the incoming wave, Lathasa was running like hell. Seeing the power surge had tipped him off and gave him enough time to erect a sort of wind barrier about him. However, it wasn't enough. He needed to remove himself from the most lethal area, and thus had begun to move from the field. He wouldn't get far when the first wave hit however, as it would strike nearly a second after it left the epicenter. The water, lightning fusion strike would be able to override Lathasa's wind, though not without enough effort to lessen the blow. It, of course, would still be more powerful than what had initially been thought on Lathasa's part. The lightning would act like a paralyzing agent, and electrocute Lathasa with enough power to knock him into unconsciousness. he would drop to the ground, finding peace in the blackness of his dream world, forgetting the battle and the extensive damage his body had taken from that wave.

Kara had no warning whatsoever about the incoming waves, and thus would be taken off guard. The wave would only have the land and fores that separated Kara and her opponents before hitting her with devastating force. Her already weak form was ever more prone to the wave, and she would succumb with ease, falling into a comatose state.

Thorn was the farthest from the blast, and near it's farthest edge. The light speed attack would be surging forth as she caught the tones that meant two of the team members went down. She had already maneuvered to the top of a tree as the attack surged forth, and on pure instinct threw herself as high as she could into the air. From the vantage point of the opponents, thew would be able to see her hair whipping about and her clothing, allowing them to pick out who she was. The first wave would come and go, as she began her plummet back towards the ground, the wave doing no harm to her because of her actions. This however, would not mean they were out of Danger, as a second, hidden wave would have emerged not long after.

This wave, moving at the speed of wind, would be exponentially slower than the first wave. However, it contained a massive power held within its depths due to the sheer number of combined jutsu. If it hit, even though it moved slower than the first, it's effects would be far more devastating, and ever more lethal. Not to say it moved slowly, as the wind was a rather speedy thing. No, it moved slower than the first wave, but not slow enough to leave her time to drop to the ground and rebound into the air to avoid it again. Bracing herself to the attack, She would feel a slight tugging, and her eyes would pop wider as she would vanish, a white cloud smoke expelling from her position.

She would appear behind Shadow, Lathasa and Kara already on the ground. His hands were on the ground, his hair wildly thrashing about him with his robes. The wind was getting ever closer, But Shadow had already concocted a plan. A crazy, insane, implausible plan. but a plan nonetheless. Shadow's eyes would track the incoming wave, knowing it moved quite fast. He, however, had already Shunshined to near the edge of the storm. he had hoped to completely avoid it, but he had miscalculated, and had no choice. He had to save his team, and in one impetuous move, he had failed to do what was necessary and protect his team.

His genjutsu trap failed as the team countermanded his move and severed the wires. His final move had failed to accomplish anything but allow the opponents the chance to harm his team. He cursed his inability to protect those that mattered most. He handed the remaining parts of the staff to Thorn with a command to use the protect shield on her and the other members of the team.
"And you, Sir?" He did not answer, but straightened out. She would follow his orders, and erect the chakra based super-shield.

Shadow would focus a vast amount of the remaining chakra in his body to his right hand. The wind-speed wave was fast approaching, and he had just enough time in his augmented body to swing his arm back and thrust his palm forward.
"Hakke Hasangeki!" [/color=In that moment, a powerful dome like wave of chakra would be expelled from Shadow's palm. Containing the same properties as his Jyuken, this Hazzan strike would impact the incoming wind-speed wave with a thunderous crash, deafening in it's sound as it rolled across the field. The Hazzan Strike would, in effect cancel out the wave by disrupting the chakra. The massive amount of power expulsed by Shadow would allow it to disrupt the chakra in the incoming wave. Like before, the technique would only cancel out the part he targeted, which in effect was rather large. The rest of the wave would continue on and then end as normally.

Shadow would fall to one knee as his Lightning armor flickered out. Containing minimal chakra, he would force himself to his feet, knowing never to reveal his weaknesses to his enemies, and look back at his team. They were safe, as Thorn released the shield. Shadow would release his Byakugan, and turn to look at his opponents, knowing this match was either over, or just about. [/color="Thorn. Tend to our team. And come if you think I need it." Thorn nods, and looks at the dire state her team members are in, as Shadow walks towards the opposing team at a slow, seemingly leisurely pace.

Nara Eric as the dust cleared, a shinobi hit the dust. It seemed to be Eric, the effects of the three pills finally being too much for him. For a brief moment, Renna contemplated re-calling the entire team back using a sensory technique; however, to escape the radius, their two teamates had to go quite the distance. The time it would take for them to come to them was... Too much, considering their enemy may have survived. Besides, Eric needed medical attention, as he had went quite beyond his body's limits in certain degrees. The fact that he actually pulled it off surprised her. Then again... he was her Jounin. She stooped, and brought the overly tall shinobi to her shoulder, preparing to warp, when she sensed the chakra of the other contestants. There was no telling what they were up to, but at least they were quite the distance. Shadow seemed to be approaching, his chakra noteably fainter than before.

Renna, attempting to hide her excitement, pieced together that their opponents had survived the last wave of attacks. As Shadow came into hearing range, she would shout,
"So, it finally ends." As a safety precaution, she would lie Eric down, and face Shadow in a defensive stance, prepared to use  any means neccessary to defend her team leader and herself. Her sensory abilities would be keyed to any changes in chakra. Eric, despite everything, managed to peek open an eye for a few moments. Although blurry, he could tell that the  entire battlfield had been affected as planned. Of course, he was on the ground still... Which worried him, since logically Renna should have stuck to the plan... Unable to further contemplate the situation, Eric passed out again.

While happy that they had managed to survive, Renna knew for sure that there was nothing more dangerous than a shinobi faking a reluctnace to strike. The opposing team had not came at them with an attack, as of yet. She would wait to hear for sure if Shadow decided to also call it "the end", or if he would make a move to finish them.

Immortal Guardian Shadowfire stops before Renna, three meters of distance between he and the two downed members. His eyes, golden and piercing, hid his exhaustion and his damage well as he examined the opposing members. Thorns voice would whisper in his ear, "Shadow, I have treated the team members as best I can... I would advise falling back. they need a hospital visit." Shadow's eyes fell to Eric, and they narrowed a bit before he lifted his hand to depress the transceiver button on his collar. "Thorn. Well done. Erect a small shield for a moment, and come to my position."

A few seconds later, Thorn would be standing beside Shadow. Shadow would finally look up to Renna.
"I'm sure you've guessed by now, doll, that there is no way for you to win against me. Nor do I have the energy to keep battling. This is indeed the end..." Shadow looks at Thorn. "Examine their Jounin, and administer the best first aid you can. I want to ensure his survival, considering the expenditure of chakra. I guess he had taken at least two, if not three chakra pills..."

Thorn nodded, and approached Eric carefully, bending down to examine the being, before forming a set of seals. Her hands would glow green with the healing ninjutsu she was going to attempt to administer to the Jounin. Shadow watched Renna, and then slowly extended his hand.
"It was a fantastic battle. I am glad that we got to participate together." His eyes appraised the female before him.

Renna was uneasy. They had, after all, been practically trying to kill each other earlier, so there was no telling whether the offer was genuine or not. Then again, he didn't attack... So, as a Chunin after all, and thus the highest rank their team had conscious right now, she firmly stated, as she moved over to once again hoist Eric upon her shoulders, "The same, believe it or not, would probably be said from Eric, although in a less... Well, he would have said it in his own way. Our team is rather ragged, and, quite honestly, we didn't think we'd get very far in the Exams. When the other Leaf team dropped out of fighting us, Eric took it upon himself to show what Konoha was made of. Well... I think we've accomplished that to some degree, so..." With a wink, she added, "Mission complete. You've also shown us why Eric has such a... Caution concerning Mist ninja, so I would say you accomplished your goal, to a degree, as well. I am glad that we could face opponents like yourself." And with that, she politely declined the offer, as Makata would be able to get them back to Konoha with relative ease. She would nod once again, Eric on her shoulders, bearing down on her unknowingly, and would make preperations to warp away, waiting a few moments for any departing words. If there were none, this would be the point where she would seemignly flash away,, though it was via the Summoned Migration Technique.

Immortal Guardian Shadowfire Smiles at the female, and as she vanishes, he speaks softly. "Farewell, Konoha Shinobi... May we meet again under friendly circumstances." And with those words, he returns to his team, and begins preparations for a reverse summoning jutsu back to the Kirigakure lands, where his team could receive proper care...

Wow you guys! That was great.

I really enjoyed reading this match and working with the both of you. And now I have to be all serious and stuff and choose a winner. For it was not about who beat who. That was only one third of the testing criteria. And that was listed on the jounin exam thread and can be referred to you lazy bums!

So...I could do a play by play analysis but that would take me a week to complete.

My over all impressions, without specifics are as follows:

You guys did great. You kept to your ranks and led your teams well. At first...

Then you got a bit too into the idea of winning and started fighting at your SL levels. Bad bad bad.

Zenaku says I should put you into a death match and the winner gets a wedgie!

However...I am not going to do that.  I will give you some advice, name a winner, award the prizes, and then thank you both so very much for having the heart and the desire to see this thing clear through the end. That is the most inspiring part of this whole thing for me and I can never thank the two of you enough for your dedication and drive in continuing despite the long months of RPing this thing to completion.

1] watch being OP. You both have a tendancy to go there. Not often, but it is there nonetheless.

2] watch 'knowing' things that you really should not be able to discern at the distances you are claiming to be able to deduce things.

3] watch the abilities of your sensor nins. Way too knowledgeable in what they are able to discern for chuunins. There were one or two places that I have to think that sensor nin's just would not be able to detect that no matter their levels.

4] And you both have a tendency to make too many moves in one post. Each player should, and this includes the chuunins you were employing, only be able to make an attack, a defense and a supplementary move per turn. Free actions like talking are without limit.


But there is much more good stuff here than these mistakes, these things I see as mistakes. It is very difficult to RP below your actual skill level. And perhaps that in itself is a skill trait that needs to be developed better by everyone.

You are both willing to take hits and deal with the use of chakra and its subsequent depletion of your chakra pool. Your npcs were fully developed characters each with distinct powers and personalities. I recall Eric wondering if he could even manage to RP so many npcs. I just laughed knowing he could. Your own character's maintained their persona and Shadow's care of his warriors was particularly consistent throughout.

However...I feel that Eric has demonstrated his ability just slightly better than ShadowFire so I will call him the winner of the match. Of course you both obtain official Jounin status...whoot whoot?

Eric and I discussed how this would effect IC-ness. I would wish to call it an IC event that perhaps took place in the past, if you can manage to fit that into your combined histories in some way. It was just too good a fight to let stand as a non-rp event. But that will be up to the both of you.

I will send out the DP and of course Award the OP weapon to Eric and congratulate you both again on sticking to it.

Despite the "open for comments" note, I don't think there is going to be much to break the ice, so I'll just start us off. Or at least say something!

Anyways, the Jounin Exam took a long time to complete. Next time something like this is hosted, I think we should consider a forum battlefield, maybe right here on SL forum. That away, every fight can be archived, and every fight can go at the pace that the last round went to an extent. No one drinking coffee in order to get halfway through a fight, just to fall asleep or any such nonsense!

I know I had fun in the two fights I participated in, the final round being the most difficult of the two. Had i had to fight Kirk, there is a chance I might not would have made it to the finals. Either way, at least one Leaf woulda made it to the finals in that situation.  :cool: I didn't get to fight all the participants, and was surprised that in the end, it came down to an even number; two. The three way royale didn't quite happen, but... Maybe that was for the best in this instance.

As I review the fights (both) I can't help but wonder how we are supposed to judge what is and what isn't Chunin and Jonin rank! I mean, after all, the series doesn't really help us much, since people ranked as genin are taming bijuu and killing Hokage-elects! Worst of all, the perceptions of what is Jonin is incredibly different throughout the realm. What Tomi thought was Jounin Commander status Rare reasoned was Jonin status. What I thought would be Chunin status, someone else thought genin and so on.

Next, once the villages come out in a week or so (not sure whether upcoming update is THE update people have coiled and came over) if this event can't be placed on a forum, then is there a chance that a village will host it, such as the Chunin Exams? What about just random Tourneys with weapons, shields, DP, hands in marriage (preference not determined), and maybe even shops to the representative of the winning village? Would people even be interested?

This will hopefully be a discussion starter of sorts.

I recall the first tourney i was ever in. It never did make it to the grand champion round. And that is a huge problem. How do you keep the momentum rolling in ANY event?

Look at the Oto battle? You will have to recall it from memory and cannot literally go look for it was too long ago now and many people just don' t possess a map. But it was housed on the village board, ate up all chances for other RP to occur in the village and took days on end for the next person to even get their turn.

I feel that such all encompassing battles should be taken to the zones if they seem to be dominating all that can occur in that village board. You get a hand full of people posting and no one else can even get a post in edgewise. Holding up a village board for days on end in order to wait for the next person to post is just plain impractical. You can get away with that sort of thing better on a forum but still after so long that absent person is going to have to be dealt with.

But as to tourney events. It might be a good way to decide who gets what kind of shops for their village. But coding is sure to take a long time as Neji has to do it all. And that is problematic due to time constraints upon him. I Think the last official WAR saw Kiri gain Suna's old mount shop?

I should like to see WAR dealt with in an official manner and will start a discussion thread about that elsewhere. Like a real event instead of just some rogue spam fest.

It is simple really. The participants gather in the hosting village, then go to the zones (or host private zones) to actually duke it out. Then return to the hosting village in order to get healed and whatnot.


Kirigakure did get Suna's beast shop... I was not a happy Leaf camper becuase after that war, it was decided to erect Ninja Central, meaning Konoha was no longer the "capital" of the in-game world.  But meh, the price of 2v1 in a PvP slaughter is the obvious. the more you can kill, the better, and since Mist were the only "hostile" ones, then the Sand + Leaf kind of helped them win... In my opinion. But that it biased of course. ^_^

As I recall Suna was doing pretty good in the Pvp thing until Konoha became their allies, then suddenly Kiri's pvp count jumped way up there, so in a sense allying with Konoha lost Suna the war. [snickers]

It woulda worked fine had the Sound done their part and been more appealing to the Mist. >.> There were/are still more Leaf ninja though in-game than nigh any other denomination.

The logic behind the loss and Suna doing good until then, most likely, is quite easy to explain:

If you have a clan with 30 members and are going to engage  in war against one with 10 that can beat at least 11 of the 30, you are bound to lose.

My guess would be Suna was outnumbered, and as such favored, then when a demographic force as large as Konoha was placed on Suna's side the downfall was certain. I doubt that all the other villages as much as matched Konoha's population combined at the given time. It's slightly more balanced now a days, but if a free for all pvp war started, Konoha would likely lose due to outnumbering the others, which in a pvp war is somewhat of a drawback.

What you say is very true. Still it seems that with more warriors to have the potential for 3 pvps per day that the count would have stacked up in favor of the Suna/Konoha alliance. That just didn't seem to work out well at all.
