Berii bashes Risu, takes her scroll
"Second Promotion Exams - Uchiha Wins: Berii vs. Risu"
Blood Marsh - Among the Crimson Reeds [Kirigakure]
The Uchiha was growing bored. In all this pink she was still relatively hard to find which was a good thing, she didn't want that, instead she spent most of her time sitting around stalking and observing the abilities of others though not a single skill she necessarily wanted to make use of came up and everyone who she saw win and move on with multiple scrolls happened to be from Konohagakure. Going up against her own nation is something that had to wait for desperate measures…
That was her thought as she watches an unsuspecting Konoha ninja run by, looking a bit injured but, with two scrolls in hand. He probably snatched it and ran for his life. "Hnn." Berii shrugs, fingers drumming against her crossed arm as she observes the early morning reflection off the crimson reeds from the side of a tree. "The next one, fo' suwe." Berii's eyelids lower into a squint as she scans the area for anyone else coming by.
Risu is not hiding, that much is clear, she has had a bad time of it down in the swamp and is looking for higher ground. The crimson reed area seems… well, less wet at least as she trudges down whatever path there is there. She is coated in muck and mud, here and there and looks a bit like a drown rat really despite her outfit and her still relatively clean forehead protector proclaiming her a Suna nin. She keeps heading up whatever slope she can find, grumbling about swamps and stupid choices for an exam the entire time, making it very easy to spot and hear her as she works her way slowly up towards the caves.
Berii's head inclines as she eventually picks up on someone heading up, once again making a bit of noise which was odd to Berii. Though, she may just be paranoid, they're getting along just fine. Oh… wait. The Uchiha realizes that she just told herself to /attack/ the next person. Here goes nothing without much hesitation or care for honor within here she'd quickly summon up three kunai, the first being flung directly in front of Risu to draw up some attention.
The second and third? They are nearly fired off at the same time after a point in which she hopes Risu is paying attention. Each one moving at different speeds, neither looked like they were going to connect until they collide at the last second. Scraping off each other and redirecting one to the Sunagakure ninja.
"Sowwy!"
Berii calls that out then shifts about within the tree. "If you gotta scwowl though…" Berii squints down below watching for how Risu reacted to the attack "I'm gonna need it."

Well, there you go, someone has attacked her, and boy does she look unhappy now. Risu's displeasure at the swamp now has a new focus. She's hit by two kunai and well, let's just say she's immediately looking at the source of the call out, "Sorry? Sorry?" She makes some hand gestures and what at first appears perhaps like a streak of shadow manipulation heads out across Berii, "Sorry this! You could have challenged me first you know!" She says as she sends a second bold of pure darkness towards Berii, clearly not happy at /all/ and rather grumpy. It's bad enough to be covered in muck, damp from the swamp but now she's been cut by two kunai. Not a good thing. Not all.

Well, Berii felt an apology wouldn't go over well she genuinely was sorry for doing that but, the fear tactic didn't really go over well as Risu turns about, obviously ticked off. "Chawwnege? You Suna nin have an odd way of doing things." Berii's head tilts, then again she's seen most people challenge each other… weirdos
"Anyway, sc-" Berii blinks as pure darkness just comes her way. Her hands come together in a seal but, she was too slow as it connects with her arm and begins to eat through her clothing and subsequently her skin. "What the.." The sharp pain was all the encourgement she needed to dive away from that attack. "Hnn, okay. A fight I guess." She smirks, she wanted to know how that technique worked but, it's probably some sort of crazy Nara like thing that the Sharingan wouldn't understand… for now? Hide her abilities.
Berii holds a handseal breathing in deep and exhaling a barrage of small flames that explode on contact while another seal is slipped in behind the attack aiming to intensify the cut wounds and hopefully the burns.

As the fire heads in, a barrage of fire bullets, Risu makes a few hand seals and tosses up that darkness and… it simply disolves away the fire attack that is incoming, the flames just gone once they enter the inky blackness as if they had never existed. Risu frowns, "You know, at least you're willing to fight, everyone else has wanted to be friends." She calls out as she starts to run, trying to slowly circle Berii and trying to make herself a harder target to hit as she keeps her hands at the ready, and… there it comes again another blast of that darkness. At least the attack appears to be pretty straight forward, no tricks or anything, just some kind of corrosive blackness that appears to try to eat away almost anything it hits. Any crimson reeds in the way of the blast simply vanish cut off where the bolt passes. As she's on the move now, she only fires off one bolt this round.

"That's… stupid." Berii was obviously annoyed with the fact that the shadows just sort of ate her attack, so it can take on that many things at once? Well she had a plan but, this would require Sharingan, she'd just have to unleash more attacks than one can keep up with. "Neh, fwiends?" Did they mention something about being buddies will get you promoted to Chuunin? Berii waits, and watches for another attack, this time the bolt coming in faster than she thought it would, catching her in the side of her gut and eating away again causing her to cringe but, that eventually fades also. A faint Sharingan kicking in out of sheer habit when in danger, Berii drops low into the reeds, disappearing into the ones that haven't been burned away or simply non-existed away.
It was time to rethink things, this girl obviously had some sort of nonsense power. Berii knew how to take on reasonable things, she was even prepared to at least deflect things coming in that fast but, deflection wouldn't do much good here. The trajectory didn't seem inhibited by any form of physics, though maybe she was too close to judge that. She couldn't understand what it was made of either. 'Think.'
Would she really have to rely on her first idea? A lame strategy of just flailing things until she wins? Though this /did/ seem like something that'd require a bit of chakra. Berii nods, little did she know that was the exact opposite of the truth. Chakra is gathered as she prepares her next assault.

Well, vanishing into the reeds seems to work for Berii as Risu loses track of her enemy, "Oh come on. First you attack out of the blue, without a proper challenge and now you're hiding?" She calls out, getting annoyed. Well, Risu takes this as an opportunity herself. She takes a deep breath and concentrates in the moment of not being attacked and summons some of her chakra together, trying to balance the forces inside her as she then urges some of her inner strength into chakra. She then takes a defensive pose, slowly circling as to try to not be caught too off guard by the expected attack from the other girl.
RP: Risu transforms into FIRST-STEP-OF-BALANCE.
COMBAT: Risu focuses 2000 stamina to turn it into usable chakra!
Berii rolls her eyes, dang midget. Her hand runs across her scarf, smoke trailing out of it as mulitple shuriken are summoned at once, her eyes peer ahead as she starts firing off shuriken in a fashion that can only come off as being wild. Though close inspection would show that these shuriken were oddly designed, some with holes in them, others curved in a way that /should/ make them in accurate, while some were impractically big but yet, even as they swerve and crash into each other they start to home in on their mark.
"Hiding? Not my fauwt you can't keep up." Berii bursts out of the reeds and charges at Risu.
It would appear as if a straight forward attack was in plan but… with the slight motion of her fingers, two of the larger shuriken come twisting back in from behind, intending to impale Risu from the back. Berii showing no shame in her underhanded tactics.

A series of clangs are all that result from the incoming attacks. Risu makes a series of hand signs and instead of black… white seems to come from her hands only to extend out to a series of metal plates that seem to appear out of no where, perhaps summoned from a scroll of some kind? Although no scroll is in sight, blocking all the incoming projectiles. The plates proceed to fall over into the grass after blocking the attacks but don't seem to be vanishing or going anywhere despite their purpose completed. Risu can now see her target, and gives a small 'Ah ha!' sound as she makes another set of hand seals.
This time a series of white bolts shoot out, but not directly at Berii, but targetted apparently /above/ her…. and assuming she looks up she'll see several blocks of what appear to be stone appearing in the air, only to suddenly fall from the sky, attempting to land rather roughly on top of the girl.

Berii sweatdrops, her Sharingan saw the situation, this was no scroll the girl simply made stuff. Berii looks down to her wounds and then exams the plates. "No wonde' peopwe want to be yo' fwiend, hnn. Doing cwazy stuff wike…" Berii spots the blocks falling from above, casually evading them with minimal effort as she steps about. "That." She manages to just squeeze by the last, stepping over one of the stones.
With a smirk Berii pulls her hands back roughly, admist many of the fall shuriken would be a string attached. So many strings attached! Risu obviously failed to uphold his contract. She then crosses them ahead of her as a few still soaring shuriken warp around and everything comes together in a complex fashion that could only be luck… or the result of spending too much time messing around with Sharingan. With the strings at her fingertips she'd hope to stop Risu from forming seals by holding her up for a bit but, this was not the main objective.
Seals were quickly formed again and she takes in a deep breath, spewing out flames against select wire that led a large but slow, roaring flame straight for Risu.

COMBAT: Risu wins the roll.
Risu is nimble, and small, and not just a ninjutsu user at that. She nimbly scampers back and to the side and around and… manages to avoid the strings despite how artfully Berir weaves them. Just in time she spots the incoming wave of fire to which Risu counters by her set of hand seals and the creation of….?? What?! It appears Risu has created not metal this time, nor stone, in her panic she created what appears to be nothing more than a wall of colored pink chalk, which is now rather scorched by the flames as it crumbles under the impact but blocks the flames from Risu.
Frustrated, Risu resorts to the attacks she started with, throwing out beam after beam of black chakra towards her foe, as if she has no idea what else to do. It has a bit of a feel of desperation to it after Berii avoided all of her last attacks.

Berii didn't want to believe what her massive attack was just blocked by it actually caused her to stop her charge. Though it was there and it continued to exist. "Pink stuff?" Berii felt so lame getting blocked by something pink. She then glances to her hair, "Oh… yeah." Berii shrugs, still not seeming to be toooo worried about the fight. She's seen this thing's limits-ish. As much as the limits are of wiping things out and making anything. Obviously overwhelming was more effort for Berii than it was worth so time to get up close and personal.
The charge continues, shifting about the oncoming bolts with much more ease than before, losing a bit of hair and another one grating her side, just enough to burn away at more clothing. "Weady?" Berii goes to her scarf again, summoning a chakram in each hand as her eyes begin to swirl, attempting to cast a body freezing genjutsu on Risu right as she gets into melee range.
Both hands go back and in a blur of motion she somehow manages to get off four slashes in a blink of an eye. Difficult to keep up with if you don't have your red contacts in.

Risu wasn't expecting Genjutsu. She has limited experience with it and so… is forced to her knees. Sure she practiced for this, but recognizing genjutsu mid combat is far different than recognizing it in a training session. She's forced down, on her knees as the first set of slashes comes in. She's so stunned, or perhaps the second set of attacks is so fast after the first that she fails to even move as they hit as well. She lets out a small whimper of pain, the only indication she gives of how much those slices across her hurt, although the blood is fairly evident. She staggers to her feet and reaches into her pouch and throws her blood scroll at Berii, "Take it, leave me alone, go away." She says, standing on her feet a bit wobbly, defiant, angry almost challenging Berii to try to continue despite her giving up the scroll. Blood drips along her arms down… some of it along the crimson reeds for which this place is named, the colors matching,
as Risu glares at Berii.
Game: Risu hands an object over to Berii!
"Hnn." With a light flick of both wrists she gets rid of the blood. Not showing much sympathy in the end despite her earlier apologies, no matter how cool Berii was playing it, those wounds still hurt a lot. "Thanks." Berii swipes at the scroll with her chakram, catching it in the hoop. She glances at the Kirigakure ally for a moment longer, seeing if any sneak attacks were going to be put in before the chakram and scroll were sealed away.
"Have fun." She says, with a heavy tone of sarcasm. No additional words were given as she drops down into the four point stance and slips into the reeds once more rather quickly, time to go patch up… whatever these wounds were and stay out of sight until she could properly move again.
No sneak attacks, Risu simply watches Berii leave with her scroll and then staggers to sit on the scorched pile of pink chalk, doing the best she can to patch up her own wounds, deciding not to move so far to do so, as she was bleeding quite a bit. She still mutters about the stupid swamp and now about stupid genjutsu too, as she realizes what happened at the end and that she might have avoided it if she had realized. Too late now. All that is left is to rest up and hope to get two scrolls from other people before the time runs out.
