It was going semi-poorly it felt like. Tsuri had gotten what felt like two very poor match-ups in a row for her two matches. First had been Narihira, who was actually a really cool senpai, but their fighting styles had a glaring difference in how it allowed for attacks. In the case of this match-up though. Tsuri had yet to see the younger boy do anything less then too much, he had an absolutely brutal style and Tsuri was actually rather worried about. Not cause she feared keeping up, but simply because one of the them would end up hurt today, and it was honestly probably to be her first if it was both of them.

She would have to rely on a gambit giving he had attacked the same way twice now. Strike first and push him away with the threat of her lifeblade. She walked in with a smile waving her free hand as she moved in, using the moment to calm her mind. Tranquility was required here for her. Reactive, yet not.

"Hi hi Goro-Kun! Lets have a good match okay?" Tsuri would state with her normal bubbly self coming to surface for a moment, a smile almost infectious to her face. Covered once more by a rebreather as the put the device on. Her eyes would focus, moving as far back as the proctors reasonably allowed them to distance without calling her about it. Tsuri would make her move as soon as the boy stepped off. She had to.

[attr="class","goropost"]This fight, he knew, would perhaps be entirely different than his last. Kojirou did not have the reflexes to within Goro’s speed and Saga, even with all his might, was seemingly on another level. A part of Goro was frustrated and it showed in his furrowed brows as he stepped out onto the arena’s platform. The girl before him was much older than he, but her petite figure wasn’t too off. It seemed fitting of the fighting style he had seen from her. That hook was certainly something unique.

Goro drew in a deep breath. He was surprisingly calm given that this match and his next would undoubtedly determine his place in the world. He could see both family, proctors, and enemies in the stands, each cheering the names of their loved ones, or standing silent as they waited for the heat of the match to begin.

Tsuri was ironically quite lovely and bubbly with her statement. Goro lifted a brow, wearily assessing her. "Yea. Let’s get dis show on the road,” he said as he lifted his hands to make a pair of fists.

Regardless of it being a different type of fight–which he knew–Goro had one thing that he could do without fail. He had practiced for years to master his Taijutsu, and if at this point and time the world was watching, then he had to show them just what it meant to be an Okada and even more so an Okada with the Eight Gates. He wouldn’t treat her any differently than he had in his previous matches. He wouldn’t be as direct about it either, though. The same trick would only work so many times.

"‘G’luck to ya,” briefly he closed his eyes before the match would have begun, but as soon as they were signaled to begin he would jet forward at his top possible speed after releasing the Gate of Opening. Should she strike outward, he would attempt to dodge utilizing his irregular dodging technique.

This, in itself, would hopefully grant Goro a passage to Tsuri’s position, placing him close enough to now allow her the ability to get the distance that she would so desperately want. She couldn’t protect herself and cast her weapon, right? He would slam forward with a direct kick to her solar plex area followed up with several punches and kicks to her chest, head, and abdomen areas.

She was lucky enough to of had her sight. Goro had shot off in a straight charge as she had expected and in turn, Hakugei would lash out, her arm a blur as the blade shot out to try and catch the younger shinobi. Her aim his core and legs, generally aiming to try and offset his charge more then anything. Her eyes following his motion as she adjusted the course of her sword to follow him. Which was rather hard, but not impossible as her technique continued to stretch out at incredible speeds to cut off the boy from his charge if he didn't want to gain the sorts of hindering gashes to his core or thighs that she was was attempting. Which was only a boon to her ability if she drew blood that would make it yet harder to break past the blade as it would also begin to adjust to block his motion.

She could either break the charge or lose. So that was what she was setting out to do. He would end up injured by her sword if he didn't re-assess his motion and in that moment she would hopefully get to perform her one form of defensive pressure. Hiding in Rain, if she could set that up then she would be much harder for the boy to fight if only for a moment. She had to get past the initial exchange before that though.


『A Fisher's Essence is the Sea』
Hakugei is a Life Blade crafted specifically for Tsuri and as such is useless and dull in the hands of any other person, to the point that if can't even break flesh if someone used a jutsu meant for cutting alongside the blade.

Having fully awakened Hakugei absorbs Tsuri's chakra continuously as she carries it around, stacking up a decent amount of chakra inside of itself equal to half its wielder's chakra pool (permanently pooling half of Tsuri's chakra at any given time, meaning her reserves are always half empty and stored within Hakugei). The chakra becomes Hakugei's and cannot be accessed by anyone other than the blade, allowing it to have the ability to self-repair small nicks and scratches it may obtain during combat.

When entering combat, Hakugei will use his own stores to fuel its abilities until it runs out and then will begin taking from Tsuri. Eventually, causing Tsuri to lose consciousness if Hakugei takes too much chakra.


『Little Fisher, Giant Predator』
Tsuri has spent a great deal of time learning about and bonding with her life blade. Being near the only thing that she finds herself naturally proficient with, Tsuri has reached a level of understanding with her blade that others would find uncanny. Her Proficiency with Hakugei, through a deeper understanding and connection with the blade atop innate instinct, has led her to thrive naturally when it comes to the use of Hakugei. Making her bukijutsu that she does learn inherently harder to deal with when she fights with her lifeblade as her attacks are far more accurate than if she were to use another blade.


『Fly Fishing』
Tsuri's skills with fishing have always been her biggest friend in transitioning into utilizing Hakugei as a weapon. Years of practice culminating with the learning process of the odd swordsmanship that she is capable of using. If the girl's raw talent in the odd style of bukijutsu wasn't apparent already, then her technique is truly what lets her stand out. Capable of quickly casting out her blade, Tsuri's Attack Speed is one of her strongest tools. Being able to make attacks blisteringly quickly when compared with the attacking speed of another weapon specialist.


『Angler's World View』
Tsuri has spent countless hours idly watching the smallest of changes on the surface of water, enough enhance her visual acuity. Her ability to detect and track motion is much more precise than most, allowing her to follow blurring movements and alter her attacks to follow their directions, as well as, generally small hard to perceive motions like the exact fingers one is curling or if someone's eye twitched. With this enhanced sight dodging her attacks via motion much harder, albiet its harder for her to miss visual triggers for genjutsu.

RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
REQUIREMENTS: Ame Family Branch, Suichū Sōdo: Chūzō
DESCRIPTION:
An extremely erratic attack, the lifeblade is cast out using Suichū Sōdo: Chūzō stretching the blade out to slash, the blade itself making a long curve to try and cut off escaping opponents. The danger is not from the first slash, but the second as the blade begins to curve back the other way as it reaches further from the user, making avoiding it by simply making distance harder than one would originally think it is.

[attr="class","goropost"]Goro wouldn’t know enough about Tsuri’s abilities and Hakugei to know that getting hit would only make his fight that much more difficult. A small scratch, he figured, he could take. However, it was one that Tsuri had more than earned. Goro had managed to displace the attack which left a decent gash on his upper chest. This weapon she wielded was different, almost liquid and free with its own movements. Goro hadn’t had the privilege to fight against many bukijutsu users but even this seemed odd.

He winced at the gash, though pushing forward managed to close a significant gap between himself and the Ame Genin before him. He was surprised to see that her attack had worked so effortlessly. Her accuracy and the speed of her strike had managed to keep up with him. And there it was, a smile. This was the fight he’d been looking for. Kojirou and Saga had given him a fight, sure, but Goro wanted someone to show him he could bleed. It was there at the tinge on his chest now reminding him.

He pressed against it with his hand, still unfamiliar with the pain as opposed to more blunt force attacks like punches and kicks and chairs. Saga was his only other reminder of the sting it caused. The boy glared at Tsuri, though the smile was still present. This wasn’t an opponent he wished to trash talk too. She could, after all. Potentially bring him down a peg.

Goro kept his distance, considering the tools he had at his disposal. His kit was always made to stay close and personal and to get in quickly to bring down his enemies, but this was a very different enemy altogether. His answers felt much more limited.

He looked at her, readying his hands, "Gotta say, you’re the first one to make me have ta think differently…” Was that…a compliment?

A scent had been gained, a large boon to her chances as Hakugei whipped itself back to its normal form is the same insane blur that had shot out to match the young man. He was closer, but she could strike again if he started to move. She was ready for that, but instead he had locked a rather ego-high grin, given the glare that seemed like it wanted to convey anger instead of what seemed to be coming from the boy - glee.

He seemed happy she had managed to hit him, and that urked her, if only to a point where she reached the wall inside her that was devoid, the barrier in her heart and mind that was not her's but instead the blade's. Hakugei laughed in her mind, enjoying the little boy's mindset and it was a moment for her to also speak.

"'Ou really shou'n't rush all y'r oppo'ents. It makes you predic'able and plen'y are fas'er then me. Gotta watch for 'at. Seeing as 'ou, enjoy 'is I'll take 't up a notch!" Tsuri would state back, her voice muffled by the rebreather even as she yelled in a rather sunny manner. Her voice was warm like a friend's rather then an enemy. Two handseals was all she had to form though for rain to begin falling, and for her form to disappear into the sudden downpour. If she was approached in this time the gap and her own ability to push in a direction would be her saviors here. No way she could out run the boy, but she could buy a second or two. She needed that second or two and nothing more.

Six steps left the a slow shift in a diagonal around where the boy had been. She would wait for the fish to take the bait, no, a friend? Goro was probably most definitely not her friend. He was a pretty interesting little kid though, entering the Chunin exams so young. She hoped he would pass, he'd make a good ally for future missions.


Jutsu:
Name: Ninpō: Uramiame [Ninja Art: Grudge Rain]
Rank: D-Rank
Chakra Usage: Medium
Classification: Ninjutsu
Element: Water
Description:
To activate this technique one must perform a quick dog hand seal, causing the once clear skies to darken. The jutsu summons a large storm cloud, capable of producing an immense amount of rain. The large quantity of rain can turn into a large wave of water that can ultimately sweep the enemy off their feet.

Name: Suiton: Amegakure no Jutsu [Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique]
Rank: D-Rank
Chakra Usage: Low
Classification: Ninjutsu
Element: Water
Description:
This technique requires rain to properly function or may be used in conjunction with another jutsu, such as Uramiame [Grudge Rain] which produces rain. With a quick horse hand seal the user is able to blend into the rain, ultimately becoming transparent and undetectable by the enemy. However, it may not fool the eyes of a dōjutsu user.


Hakugei:
ABILITIES:

『Life Blade - The White Whale』
Hakugei is a life blade crafted specifically for Tsuri and as such is useless and dull in the hands of any other person, to the point that if can't even break flesh if someone used a jutsu meant for cutting alongside the blade.

Having fully awakened Hakugei absorbs Tsuri's chakra continuously as she carries it around, stacking up a decent amount of chakra inside of itself equal to half its wielder's chakra pool (permanently pooling half of Tsuri's chakra at any given time, meaning her reserves are always half empty and stored within Hakugei). Being made of the clan’s special metal blend Hakugei is rather impervious to damage, though the chakra that becomes Hakugei's allows it to have the ability to self-repair small nicks and scratches it may obtain during combat.

When entering combat, Hakugei will use its own stores to fuel its abilities until it runs out and then will begin taking from Tsuri. Eventually, Hakugei will cause Tsuri to lose consciousness if Hakugei takes too much chakra, and due to his hungry nature he often does if she isn't careful.


『Apex Predator』
Hakugei is an incredibly strange blade, from its shape to how its best used. Going from fishing hook to fishing pole, Hakugei is the instrument of Tsuri's success or failure. Being the king of the oceans he is an apex predator and can track his prey allowing him to more readily attack. After cutting someone and coming in contact with an opponent's blood for the first time Hakugei releases a bit of his own chakra into the wound causing it to act as a tracking marker for the blade. After which he becomes 'hungry' and keeps the scent of his prey. Allowing him to follow the enemy more vigorously even if Tsuri and him don't directly have sight of the enemy. This only works within 20 meters of Hakugei, and takes a [Very Low] drain of chakra every round that he keeps an enemies scent, this can be cancelled at anytime.

[attr="class","goropost"]Goro took the girl’s words in for a moment. He did not discredit them, though their straightforwardness he took rather personally as an attack against his intelligence. A bit hostile and rowdy, as always, the small boy huffed. "‘Course I know that! You ain’t nothing though. I seen faster than you!” He mocked lightly, a grin still covering his face. A bead of sweat dripped from his temple.

His First Gate was slowly simmering down inside him. He knew that he would need to make use of its power much more than he had done even now. As he noticed the girl beginning to weave handseals. A heavy rain would begin to fall in the arena, however, and Tsuri would completely disappear from his vision. In this moment, Goro had been able to likely close in much more room between himself and the Ame girl, but he was now fighting blindly. In this moment, charging didn't seem to do him much good. She'd hinted that herself, and he had a painful reminder that still stung.

His eyes squinted and he shifted around quickly to try and find some inkling of her placement. Two could play at that game. He would admit to himself though, that no one had forced him to use this technique before. If anything, he wished he didn’t have to use it at all considering that Steam Release wasn’t something he really needed to show off. No part of his heritage would have given away this sort of technique. Hopefully, others would just see this as a weird, poisonous mist instead of Steam Release. He formed the needed handseals, and he too would disappear slightly as a steamy mist would also roll into the area after he released it from his gullet.

The true meaning of this technique, however, was to stop Tsuri’s own attack. Being in the mist too long would force her to close her eyes and lose her senses. Her eyes would burn from the steam over time. Perhaps it would force her out of her position where he could end the fight with a finishing blow.

Tsuri watched as steam began to pour from the boy, but it didn't matter. She had her invisibility, she had his scent on Hakugei, and she had time. A heartbeat, and a step, another two heartbeats and another two steps were taken. She had shifted herself just far enough from the steam to have reach on the boy. Perhaps this time she could go on the offense? She would need to watch, but Hakugei was getting restless for another wound in her hand. Perhaps she would go for it soon... no she definitely would.

Angling herself slowly to the boys back left corner, the steam kept spreading just a bit further. Taking a deep breath she would focus on the next strike. She needed to focus or Hakugei would try to do something far more vicious then she thought that she could handle.

Moving her arm up, her wrist circled in a practiced fashion as the blade swung out and her invisibility broke, the blade sprouting barbed hooks as light played a strike to the eyes, the blade closing in all the way from Tsuri's hand in two angles that threatened to dig into the boy's body leaving nasty bite wounds. She had not told Hakugei to use Kogeki, but he had done it almost subconsciously with her.

Panic arose in the moment as the blade quickly lashed in at the boy from the angle.

NAME: Suichū Sōdo: Esa [Submerged Sword: Bait]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: Suiton
REQUIREMENTS: Ame Family Branch
DESCRIPTION:
Cutting through a water source from below, or through an area of rain, the Araikettei creates a visual deception of the blade by distorting it in the surface of the water. Allowing one to confuse the direction of the actual attack within the water. This is done by expanding the edge of the blade on the lifeblade to create more of a mirrorable surface which reflects in an area across from it. Good for use the first time, subsequent use of this technique reveals the trick rather easily.

RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
REQUIREMENTS: Ame Family Branch, Suichū Sōdo: Chūzō
DESCRIPTION:
Casting out the lifeblade chakra molds the blade to have sharpened hook-like barbed ridges allowing anything inside of its arc to be more easily cut or pierced. This techniques true goal is to make contact and skewer an opponent's body like a fish hook would the cheek of a fish. Which can allow for a user to potentially throw their opponent underwater or off their feet, but doing the later requires a high amount of physical strength.

[attr="class","goropost"]Goro was indeed tired of waiting. He wasn’t the type of boy to go around hiding from his enemy. This was certainly something more out of character for him, but he had it planned in his arsenal for cases such as this. Even so, he was itching to jump forward and lash at the first movement that he saw. His eyes were peeled wide, unaffected by the steamy mist he had created. Tsuri, on the other hand, would find that if she stayed in the mist her eyes and nose would be easily bothered. He had hoped this would give him the advantage, perhaps adding some sort of delay or offset in her response. Either way, he knew he would find out.

It seemed like an eternity. Goro could hear his own heartbeat on the arena floors. "That’s enough. You’re too damn slow.” He felt his chakra opening wider, the well of energy inside of him further releasing as his second gate, the Gate of Healing, was opened. His eyes shifted around. He needed any advantage he could to any movement or sound that he hurt.

As Tsuri lashed out, Goro saw the blade swinging his way. His eyes fierce and his mind focused, he quickly shifted, aware that if she were allowed to fully attack from such an angle that he would easily have been done for. He again managed to merely displace the attack due to her superior accuracy, taking a large gash on his left arm. As soon as he was in the clear, Goro sped forward. With the boon of the Gate of Healing, he was now upon Tsuri before her blade could even return to her. His eyes would likely now meet her own. "That's enough." He looked up at her, sending a kick to her body in an attempt to have her flying upward. He would then manipulate his body to be beneath her. He would then kick once again at her side, sending her flying into the walls of the arena and presumedly out for the count.
