Summary:
Tournament Match Between Takeshi and Mitsuomi
"First World Ninja Competition - Beauty and the Old Man: Mitsuomi vs. Takeshi"
Peach Pit Stadium Arena 1 Ring [Kusagakure]
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Arena 1's Ring has grass and dirt as the primary terrain, with a large pond full of water in the north-east corner, trees scattered around to act as cover, as well as boulders of various sizes for the same — or to act as impromptu weapons if necessary. The main unique feature is the intricate line of seals drawn around the edges of the arena. During a match, the seals generate a shimmering energy barrier around the Ring to shield both the combatants and the audience.

Out - (O) [Peach Pit Stadium Arena 1]
Walking into the ring is a black-clad, short person. Her pace is brisk as she nears the center, stopping only to glance at the forest-like scenery.
The little kunoichi hops up onto a boulder and turns to face the entrance into the ring. Well, she's gotta make herself taller than them somehow! She waits patiently under the cheering and mumbling of the crowd for the two combatants to arrive.
Today Mitsuomi strode in with his head held high. He had seen that outside of his village there were those of his rank that could make him seem feevle and a child, and others that would crumple under his fist. He wondered what today would yield and how it would come. Not that it much mattered to the screaming crowd one way or the other unless they were the betting type.
Mitsuomi decided to forgoe the shirt today as a part of his atire. No sense in destroying another one for the sake of a match. After all, it was getting expensive to replace them. His eyes watched for his opponent now as he made his way closer to the ring's center. He wondered who it would be and what they would do, since he hadn't seen their previous matches. All he could do now was simply wait and prepare.
The next through the entrance, a younger man appearing to be twenty five. The screen flashes to reveal him as Takeshi Odori Kaguya, but that can't be right. That guy was an old man in his last two matches, now here he is appearing not older than twenty five. Yet, there's no denying it according to the people who checked his ID at the entrance and even did a blood test on the man to make absolutly sure. In any case, this was Takeshi, though what he was up to was anybody's guess.
The wind picks up the coat tail on his tunic like, sleeveless shirt, the two separate pieces flapping leisurely in the wind. He stops near the proctor, "Kurohana. I see they were serious about outsourcing from every village."
As the two enter, Kurohana reaches up to draw her hood back away from her face. She looks them both over, especially Takeshi. The woman glances at him several times before she sets a hand on her hip and grins. "We oughta go get a drink after you win, old man. Well, /if/ you win. I don't wanna be drinking with a loser." She smirks and turns her head up to face the crowd.
"Enter Kaguya Takeshi and .. Mitsuomi." The woman glances at her hand to be sure. "Right. Get on with it!" With that, the short woman blurs from her spot, afixing herself on the side of the arena wall to observe.
From Peach Pit Stadium Arena 1 Stands,
Daisuke slips into the crowd of people to watch the match-up, each one becoming sparse with much time inbetween. Enough time that it makes the matches a welcome relief and draws in crowds. So far the red-headed chuunin was the only one he knew in the crowd and down in the ring, but he wasn't in Kusagakure to cheer his friends on anyway.
Mitsuomi smirked a bit at their friendliness this time. He moved himself into a readied stance and began to groan slightly. "Kumogakure's Double Impact Mitsuomi!" With that he wasted no time as he had in previous matches. His body began to shift as little wriggling lines began to appear under his flesh almost like thousands of crawling worms all over his body. Soon though the lines began to entangle and thincken to the point of looking almost like steel cords under his flesh. During this time his muscles spasmed and grew under the strain of the strange growing nerves under his very flesh. They nearly looked as if to burst free of him entirely. As they settled into place and it appeared everything was over his chakra began to boil up around him. His eyes closed as it wrapped around his body and let loose with enough force to move debris away from him and stop the wind in its tracks for a small area around him.
With cold and absent eyes he looked to Takeshi. "Prepare yourself…for victory I will give into the madness…" His voice was deep and distant. For the moment his body seemed strained just to hold still. He waited, clinging to sanity for what little time he could like this before the match would truly start.
Teshi offers a polite bow and then stands up again. "Right, I'll be sure to win for you darling." There's a cant of his head as he watches the opposition prepare itself for the battle to come, the muscle bound shinobi becoming even more so a testament to his name. "Double Impact eh. I guess we'll put that theory to pasture." There's a nod, "Win or lose, may the best shinobi win."
This time it was Teshi doing the blurring, except instead of the clean kind that Kurohana used, his left a trail of his travels after a few seconds. Speed was of no concern to this shinobi it seemed, the idea of using ninjutsu to augment it seeming a total waste of time. "If I must give an introduction, then this will have to suffice: Takeshi Odori Kaguya, Black Bloodline of my Clan." His eyes close, concern with the match seeming to fade.
RP: Takeshi transforms into BATTLE-MEDITATION.
COMBAT: Takeshi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi smirked a bit as he looked to the speed of his opponent. This was going to be fun. He was a fast one and probable going to be a pain to pin down. Not that it mattered much to him. It was time to test the waters and see what would come from the opening exchange. With a low crouch Mitsuomi then launched himself through the air towards his opponent. Chakra gathering into his leg as he came crashing down. When he landed he would release it to let loose a shockwave to try and knock his opponent off balance before allowing his frame to move and a large hand to reach for Takeshi's back. He was moving to try and grab his spine and raise him overhead in a rather painful technique.

COMBAT: Takeshi wins the roll.
Takeshi watches the opponent in feigned interest. It wasn't until the very last second that the older shinobi reacted, moving one foot back away from the point of impact, the shockwave causing the earth to upheavel, but the taijutsuist maintaing his balance with relative ease. The next attack would come in fast, but he was faster. A quick sidestep arond the attack left Mitsuomi grasping at his coat tails. That move didn't result in much effect.
That left Mitsuomi in the throws of a failed move and Takeshi with a chance to employ his most used attack. A quick movement would bring him back to the front of the man from Kumogakure, a palm reaching out towards his stomach. However, if it hit, he wouldn't feel anything, it was nothing more than a touch, until the blow back came in, leaving him gasping. If he dodged it, then he'd successfully avoid the attack, or he simply had to not fail to move after the blowback hit.
Following that, the younger man would pull back a fist and then launch it forward, a bull rush punch with a little bit of added Kaguya drive in there. A spicy cocktail.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi wins the roll.
Mitsuomi moved to pull his arm back as Takeshi launched his own attack. When it moved to land Mitsuomi wrapped his chakra around himself in a dense layer just over his skin. The punch landed full force and caused the muschles to move with the impact, but he still seemed fine. His chakra levels lowered as the next punch landed and still seemed not to phase this man. A smirk on his face as he charged chakra to a visible point in his free hand. With speed and force he launched the hand right for the chest of Takeshi. If he hit or came close the chakra would expend itself in a burst to send the opponent flying away and leave him open for a followup attack in the next moment.

COMBAT: It is now Takeshi's turn.
COMBAT: Takeshi defends against BURST-IMPACT-III(43) attack from Mitsuomi with a WHIRLWIND-TECHNIQUE…58
COMBAT: Takeshi wins the roll.
Takeshi snickers, "A man after my own heart, except it seems you use chakra to augment your abilities. That, will ultimately be your failure." As he pulls back, the chakra flowing into the hand is painfully obvious and yet the older man doesn't even seem to be worried about moving. Without much pomp and circumstance, the fist would sail through the air into what appears to be a solid Takeshi only to find it flying through the air as if nothing was ever there to begin with. But there was something more important, where the hell was the young man playing Takeshi?
A laughter would ring out from one side of the ring and then a voice would speak from another. "Chakra is great and all, but nothing can make up for a general lack of physical aptitude my boy. Let me teach you."
It was only mere miliseconds after he said that, a burst of speed, a blast of dust, ground and dirt into the air, the ground splitting at the seams following his path. What makes this amazing is that no chakra is being utilized, this is pure, unadulterated physical strength pumping legs faster than they should be able to go, right to where his fingertips slam against the other man's skin, pushing, feeling, trying to impale themselves as deep into his shoulder blade as possible, "Let's see you use chakra against this," And then, instantly, seconds later, after the pain was good and strong, a five inch punch, the kind of which burst the ground behind Mitsuomi to pieces. Again, not a single bit of chakra used.
COMBAT: Takeshi attacks Mitsuomi with SNAP-STRIKE…55

COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi defends against SNAP-STRIKE(55) attack from Takeshi with a SURVIVE…50
COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 430 damage.
Mitsuomi stood there as his punch missed and his opponent moved around him like an annoying gnat. When Takeshi came in the fingers flexed over his armor and then came the punch that managed to break it. His armor absorbed most of the impact to his body, but his torso did still double slightly from the impact. A bruise begining to form from the hit. With a bit of a growl Mitsuomi turned and lept from Takeshi using a few small waves of shuriken to keep the man at bay for a moment.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi attacks Takeshi with SHARP…36

COMBAT: Takeshi defends against SHARP(37) attack from Mitsuomi with a FLOW…52
COMBAT: Takeshi wins the roll.
Teshi watches the man retreat, trying to gain ground on him. With a quick step, he rolled off to the side, only to find that the shuriken had been aimed purposefully, slamming into his body without giving him time to react to it. The blades managed to stick into his skin and draw blood. The annoying artifacts are pulled from his skin and thrown off into the dirt. The next wave sees a slightly different effect, the shuriken bouncing off of his body like it was made of metal.
There's a sigh, "Well, eye for an eye or some such I believe is the sentiment." There's a dismissive wave, "Anyways, I suppose they actually want us to fight or something."
Once more he rushed to the man's front and slammed a palm into his stomach, but this time, instead of using the punch from before, he pulled a lightweight sword from his sleeve and then trailed it across his skin.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 385 damage.
Mitsuomi moved to avoid the attack and almost managed to avoid its impact but was still knocked off balance by its force only to feel the blade tear at his flesh and leave a small gash. He growled as he landed and turned back towards his opponent. His hands charging with chakra as he looked to the man. A heavy punch towards Takeshi's chest hoping to grab his shirt and pull him in towards Mitsuomi so that he can grab a hold of his back. Mitsuomi intended to break this man's back with this attack if he landed it. He wanted to cause pain now…he wanted destruction.

COMBAT: Takeshi wins the roll.
COMBAT: Takeshi focuses 1000 stamina to turn it into usable chakra!
Takeshi snickers at the man, leisurely avoiding the attacks that came next. The burst impact simply missing him, leaving the kaguya to the side of the kumogakure native. Then the enemy tried that suplex move again, which failed again, this time not even managing to catch him by the coat tails. There's a pause on the part of the older kaguya as he smiles. "Alright, let the old man have a breather here."
COMBAT: Takeshi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi wasn't ready to let up now. He snarled as chakra filled his fists. He lunged in towards Takeshi. Both hands formed overhead as if a hammer. With a fearsome roar Mitsuomi moved to bring the hands down and slam into Takeshi's head and drive him into the crater that the released chakra would create regardless of whether it hit or missed.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi drains stamina from Takeshi
From Peach Pit Stadium Arena 1 Stands,
Daisuke continues to watch the match intently, both combatants keeping close range on each other making the ninja battle more of a brawl. Munching on his rice cracker snack, the young chuunin begins to place bets in his head on who was going to come out victorious in this match of brute force.
COMBAT: Takeshi attempts to ESCAPE from Mitsuomi's stun and fails!
Takeshi looks towards the younger opponent and sighs, "Now, that's not ver," bam. Into the crate he goes, not having anywhere near enough time to move out of the way to safety. But, from his last glance, that man was getting tired and this old man still had plenty of go-get-em left. He just had to survive the next attack.
COMBAT: Takeshi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi snarled as chakra filled his entire body. It began to course through his muscles starting down from his toes and spiral up through continually clenching muscles. By the time it reached his shoulder it was ready to burst with force. With a heavy groan he shot his fist down at Takeshi and released the chakra like an auger bit blast to tear through the enemy and further into the ground.

COMBAT: Takeshi loses the roll and sustains 1096 damage.
There's a deafening groan as the attack hits. The ground collapsing slightly under the older chuunin. Everything seems to point to his death. He isn't moving, he certainly doesn't seem to be showing any signs of life and breathing? Who knows at this point. However, if he thought this old man was going to go down with that? He had another thing to learn.
At first it was slow, but steadily, the old man pushed his way up off the ground and once the dust had settled. It was just him, standing, very much worse for wear, but he was alive, and right now, that's all that mattered. The other guy was getting tired, this old man still had a few good rounds. This had just become a endurance match.
He twists his arm around, the cracking sound echoing as it pops back into place, "I have to say kid, that actually made me ache." He pushes out his arms and with a gross crack, his body realigns itself. "Love being kaguya. Has it's uses, even if I hate em."
"Hah, kid, you got a whole other thing coming." And then he's gone again, the speed having picked up slightly as he rushes in towards the kumogakure native, a red haze in his eyes, "Say hello to daddy." And again, that palm would find its place on the kumogakure's shinobi's body, this time pushing harder, not being nice about it. Just straight up pushing into the boys abdomen and then that same five inch punch, with the same destructive effects. Then he lets it go, returning to a neutral stance.
"Wha'? You think that was it?"

COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 470 damage.
Mitsuomi felt the hit against his armor and again it punctured through and sent him staggering back a few steps. With a heavy groan Mitsuomi lept into the air and let loose kunai knives at the peak of his ark to cover his decent back down. Chakra flooded his legs as he hit the ground again to release that shockwave for the second time in this match. Whether it made a difference or not was not the question as a fist flew for Takeshi's face.

COMBAT: Takeshi wins the roll.
The older man watches the other chuunin once again move in for a barrage of attacks. He was keeping it simple, trying to conserve energy. That spoke highly of his awareness, unfortunately, that may not be enough in this circumstance. The attacks aren't actually hitting anything, which means they're just wasted energy. This time is no different, except this time he doesn't entirely dodge them, rather using a very small sidestep and fancy footwork to keep ahead of his opponent.
"Are you getting tired yet?" A simple, pointed question.
Then Takeshi lashes out again, that same one-two punch combination aimed at hurting the other chuunin and forcing him to abandon all hope. Takeshi knew that they were both tiring down and now it depended on who was willing to stand up longer.

The fly on the wall lowers from her post, her small shape landing upon the arena floor off to the side. This is coming to a close. She's sure of it. Kurohana watches them quietly as the crowd's jeers and cheers begin to heighten. Chants and stomping starts.
Who will claim the victory?
Mitsuomi stood there and took the hits. The first puching him back as the second seemed to stagger him, yet no damage was showing. His armor was holding up to these barages. Turning Mitsuomi snarled as he let out a punch for Takeshi's face, just a quick jab. It was followed by a hard shot towards the gut and an uprising knee hoping to catch Takeshi in the face.

From Peach Pit Stadium Arena 1 Stands,
BOOM BOOM CLAP
BOOM BOOM CLAP
"WE WILL, WE WILL APPROXIMATELY 1930's NINJA UNIVERSE EQUIVILANT ROCK YOU!"
A jab and he's out. Turns out the old man was barely holding himself together as he hits the floor. Beauty Beats Age in this match.
Seeing the end of the fight, Kurohana walks over toward Mitsuomi, her head tipping back so that she can glance up to his face with her inspecting stare. The woman looks briefly down to Takeshi, a single foot reaching out to nudge his leg.
The lack of response is enough for her. The jounin reaches over and grasps Mitsuomi's hand and hoists it above her head as high as she can reach. "WINNER!" The crowd goes absolutely wild!
That being said and done, the Kirigakure jounin turns to her fallen comrade with a soft, 'tsk, tsk.' "Well, I guess I'll at least help you drink away the pain, old man. How's that sound?" She leans forward and feels over him to make sure nothing's broken. Satisfied with what she finds, Kurohana grabs hold of one of his arms and proceeds to drag her comrade out of the arena.
