[Asuka Waruichi]

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

As the girl headed towards the west she’d arrive amongst the trees a forested area just what she was hoping to find. Once there the Waruichi would move towards one of the trees quickly to keep herself hidden. She hadn’t defeated a single monster and was aware of that however her patience had paid off and eventually led to her securing the objective.

As the girl move towards a tree climbing up the pine and crafting single seal to cause her clothing to blend into the pine whilst also letting out a brief ping to keep herself aware of her surroundings. She wasn’t aware of what was going on in the center but for now she simply needed to bide her time and wait. It wasn’t exactly the most bloodthirsty strategy but she had conserved a good amount of energy and managed to remain relatively unscathed save for a few minor burns suffered by that woman with the rather bizarre chakra. However, how long would this sense of security last, would she continue to run or would she be forced to fight in the event that trouble may have found her.

Whilst there the girl would stop to think on the situation analyzing what she’d seen so far about the monsters they seemed decidedly dangerous is this really what her kids would end up having to face and if so would they really be ready for that. If this was there final test she needed to make sure that they were ready and was going to do everything in her power to make sure that happened.

Summary:

Heavy Handed Iron Fist:
With the rigorous training that Asuka had to endure as she honed her body to levels of perfection rivaling that of any martial arts master. Asuka's strength has increased 10 fold to the point where she is able to crush stoned within her grasp and breaks bones of lesser individuals with ease. And while she still has much to learn as a chunin. The youth's power is not one to be challenged lightly, as she is able to perform physical feats that would seem inhuman to even most shinobi.

Hijutsu: Kinu no Eikyō:
Asuka is a member of the Waruichi clan and as such has the ability to control a special chakra infused silk that was forged by a special group of silkworms that feed on the corpses of dead clansmen. With it Asuka can craft and shape the silk to her will and uses it in a mostly supplementary fashion to aid her in battle alongside her powerful taijutsu skills.

Iron Burst:
As a sole practitioner of Taijutsu Asuka has relentlessly pushed her body against itself for spectacular results: her strength carries over into her speed, and as such alongside the control she exerts body in spirit and in mind, she is intensely faster than those of a similar level of strength and maneuvering expertly as if the air were an extension of her own body.

A Disciplined Iron Bull:
During Asuka's time as a genin the youth had begun to realize that in order to excel as a shinobi she needed to learn how to properly utilize her chakra. And while she doesn't posses the greatest of reserves the youth has learned through rigorous meditation how to keep her chakra still and calm. As a result she is now able to wield it with a great deal of control and is able to channel only the necessary amounts of chakra into the few jutsu she uses in order to make the most of their abilities whilst still being able to keep up in a fight.

We are violence The Water Dome worked out as she expected it to; the spores didn't spread in the water. Still, the Jinchuuriki had escaped the range of her attack. In any case, it was clear that the centre was going to be increasingly dangerous, and although she had water with her, the lack of food would turn problematic. Kyouka would use her body in its liquified state to move fast through the Wtaer Dome, and leap from it, hoping to land on a tall tree nearby, keeping herself far from the ground as much as it was feasible. With that done, and the use of the Tree Climbing Technique, she would move towards the West area of the island. Her mind thinking back on the riddle. Maybe it was a clock, or a bell, she wasn't sure. With that in mind, Kyouka would be moving west with the goal of identifying a landmark that could have a clock or a bell, and also anything that could potentially be hiding supplies. She had used some of her chakra, but with her large pool, she was still okay. During her movement, she would finish drinking her first water bottle, to make sure she would remain properly hydrated. and this is hell Jun Etsuko 220 words Moving west, looking for landmarks and/or food

[Jun Etsuko]

Etsuko was relieved to have escaped both the spores and water dome, but now she was truly lost for a reason to continue. She'd wasted her tail drawing and even if she could draw again, it'd still mean the relative inability to perform her other conceived move. Testing was coming to an end, energy though more rampant with Matatabi was still excessively burnt. She spent so much attempting to find worth opponents, at least two individuals appearing of rank. Only one seemed interested in combat, but then there were those peculiar monsters.

She'd begin to understand the rational of that Kirigakure shinobi who'd 'assisted' her. They'd look at the whole challenge and take the odds that there'd be more monsters to worry about. A person to watch her sleep other than Matatabi could be nice, but for someone like the Kirigakure shinobi. They had nothing. Perhaps the fact she'd seen more mist shinobi than anything else would prove to that persons advantage. Granted they hadn't been consumed by the water dome or those annoying monsters they encountered.

Her cloak faded, as she'd take a seat in her tree. She'd look up in the sky and question if she should sleep. She needed sleep didn't she? The idea of doing it here though, especially after she burned herself out and relied up that other skilled kunoichi. "Takigakure needs it's weapon intact..." Etsuko would finally put her pride out to dry, before standing up and looking around. They'd said that she could leave at any time, so with more interest in the speed of these people's arrival. Etsuko would callout her 'defeat' in this competition. "I request to leave now, I've had my fun already." She'd be ready when they'd come and be cooperative with leaving with them. Though she'd always have her guard up for trickery.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku Takeuchi Rentaro @enri Asuka Waruichi Hōzuki Kyōka

Kuni would eventually arrive closer to the center, though she could not quite set up anything right at the tower or anything like that as there was a very clear raiton ward and if she touched it at all, even in an attempt to create a trap or ambush she would be blasted backwards quite painfully by this super powered raiton defense. If not, she would be left in wait...

Enri would escape the center area and go to another area. An opening in the forest, but nonetheless still a forest. Less marshy though, closer to the north if she wished to not be in water. Here, she could take rest... And if she got up into a tree, she would be doubly safe from any other monsters roaming around and if she was quiet? Well, perhaps she could go unnoticed at all.

In the meantime, Rentaro picked up the ration pack from the tree branches and then started to settle. Or at least he had decided to mostly rest. Setting up a nice little trap in case someone decided to attack him.

Asuka too would come upon an area to rest, blending in with her surroundings to do so.

Kyouka got away from the center and started to move towards the west, looking for the objective, water or food. Nothing was coming up immediately until she came upon a little house but there seemed to be monsters around it. How would she sneak in and avoid being spotted?

Etsuko would concede, putting her pride aside. There was quite a bit going on, it was a difficult challenge to survive totally unscathed. So, she would call, and then she would enter darkness when someone suddenly knocked her out. She would awaken back in Kirigakure where she had started.

As all the shinobi would rest or lie in waiting, the sirens would ring three more times throughout the day before the sun would begin to set again. Perhaps by then, most of their batteries will have mostly recharged. Mostly.

A familiar voice would crackle.

"Now that's enough rest~ Get up get up! Stage 3 begins now!" And with that another siren followed, the island was practically crawling with dangerous beasts now and if shinobi in the trees were not careful to not emit any sound they would be found. The ones on the ground? In even more danger now.

In Kuni's case she would witness the opening of the checkpoint, the gates let down and the raiton disappearing. Though the monsters never seemed to go near it regardless. Those with exceptional hearing (hearing SA) would be able to distinguish that they were being warded off with a high pitched ringing of sorts.

We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need.

It was all she could do was sit and wait, Kunikunosaku lied in wait from the tree branch in the distance. The barrier around the end tower bored her. It was electrified and the looks of it just screamed it would end her. She continued to monitor the situation As she waited for someone who may have the objective to appear, it was a partial rest, one that she wasn't expending energy but observing just enough to leap into action should the time come for it.

Kunikunosaku herself wasn't aware how long she'll be waiting but she'd notice a convergent in that field, where the raiton ended and an opening to the exit. Memories of the announcements told her she couldn't leave without the objective and that was exactly why Kuni was in waiting, she needed to intercept the wielder to get through. The Mikatakujira was glad she was on the tree as another siren rang, specifically three times. The familiar voice announced the beginning of stage three and there were visually more of those things around than before, but they kept away from that specific spot.

Mapping out what information she received thus far and comparing it to her abilities. She formulated a plan of action, now she just had to wait for someone to initiate her plan on. The gate was open, safe from the Raiton but not safe for her. Despite the monsters seemingly not going there. Hell was this island and the gates were open. But what lay behind those gates, Kuni did not know. What she did, things were gonna get much harder here on out.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body
As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Power of a God:
After a great time learning how to control Jiongu, Kunikunosaku has learned to store chakra in each of her threads so long as they continue to be attached to at least one of her hearts. This extra storage capacity allows the girl to amass greater amounts of chakra within herself, expanding her reserves beyond that of the normal shinobi her rank. As with many other abilities, this ability continues to grow as the girl does through the ranks and years.

Cursed Master:

As a reward for attaining a greater deal of control over her symbiotic relationship with Jiongu, Kunikunosaku acquired the keys to the gate of mastering her abilities. This new boon allows Kunikunosaku to double the impact of her EGF ninjutsu. In addition, a passive boon is the ability to completely negate Jiongu's manipulation to consume more hearts. These boons together allow Kuni to further manipulate Jiongu against its basic natures, improving her unique utilization. While still young and unrefined, the ability is expected to grow as their bond deepens to even further levels.

Medical Knowledge:

Being from Takigakure's prestigious clan medical clan, Kunikunosaku is also set to learn the human anatomy, biology, and Kinesthetics, While this knowledge DOES NOT give her access to Medical Ninjutsu Techniques, however, the knowledge does unlock abilities of precision to the human body with every attack. This knowledge grants field combat medic aid but nowhere near the degree of those actually trained in it.

[attr="class","enri"]Enri was now mostly rested and rehydrated despite the sirens waking her three times throughout the night, but now a booming voice spoke over the intercom, jolting her slightly upward. At this point, monsters were completely crawling around the area. She could hear gurgles and spats between them as they searched, seemingly hungry for their own prey.

How would she get to the center, exactly, in a situation like this? She needed to get out of here. Something about being forced to sit in a tree for help to arrive didn’t seem to be the smart or most viable approach. Without her Nuibari, she didn’t have as much arsenal as she was used to. It was her bread and butter, really. Her Hyouton was…underdeveloped, and judging from the last creature she faced, it wasn’t going to do her much good.

The thought of losing her Nuibari made her want to vomit, but her life was more important. Perhaps…she could go back and get it. Or would that be unwise.

Enri looked closely at the area surrounding her, remaining quiet. Was there a path of least resistance that she could see? An opportunity for her to leap and rush in that might…somehow work?

[Takeuchi Rentaro]

The time he spent resting was silent with little to no annoyance, no monsters or other participants were seen. Rentaro had spent a good portion of his time resting already and it was time to keep going. The sound of the familiar voice, followed by a siren that signified the start of Stage 3 of the event. Every time that siren sounded he always remembered encountering those monsters, which lead him to believe that the island was crawling with them. At least, he managed to get some rest before one of those things decided to look for him. Before leaving, he made his way towards the wood log he left behind and took the explosive tag he placed with him. He would put it to better use.

Rentaro uncovered his left eye and placed his eyepatch on his pocket, if his hypothesis was right then monsters would be crawling the place by now. Now that he had the chance to recharge his batteries for a few hours he was able to jump back into combat. He decided to use the trees to traverse the terrain and avoid the ground. It was inevitable to run without making any sound, but at least if he used the trees he would be provided with enough time to react. Rentaro was headed towards the west of the island, the center, where apparently the interesting stuff was going on. Since the event was now in its final stages, or so he believed from what he heard from the announcer he was going to use up most of his available tools, or well try, he could also quit if he felt too lazy to do so.

SPOILER: Click to show

Sharingan active.

SAs:

Genius Intellect
From a young age, Rentaro has demonstrated to have a high level of intelligence. Although, lacking aptitude in ninjutsu when he was young. He was able to understand ninjutsu theory with ease and has proven to be able to discover possible applications through its knowledge. Scoring the highest in Academy written exams without any issues. Always keeping track of people's mannerisms, strengths, and weaknesses. His remarkable intellect allows him to be several steps ahead of his enemy. Due to this, he is able to see through deceptions and elaborated lies that may fool the average person. He believes that one should get to know their friends, but get to know their enemies even more.

Using tactics that would otherwise be considered be rare and unconventional, is due to the fact he has spent quite some time studying multiple types of combat theory. His intelligence tends to shine through elaborated plans, where he takes into consideration the enemy's strength and the strength of his allies. Followed by resources, time, and other external factors in order to determine the best course of action to deal with the enemy. His strategic thinking mainly relies on small, but quick victories in order to reduce the amount of burnout of his forces and keep the use of resources to a minimum.

Chakra Tank
Rentaro has always possessed high amounts of chakra. One of the reasons why he struggled with ninjutsu from a young age was due to his inherently large chakra pool. Which made it hard for him to initially use jutsus efficiently. Due to the high amount of chakra, he possesses he is able to fight for long periods of time and use multiple jutsus simultaneously without getting tired. This gives him a higher amount of endurance compared to the average Shinobi.

Sharingan (ACTIVE)
The famed dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan, an ability very few people can achieve. Although, Rentaro isn't an Uchiha, due to the fact that the eye was transplanted to him from a young age. He was able to access the abilities of the Uchiha Clan's dojutsu, despite not having Uchiha blood in his veins. This increases his perception, awareness, and reaction time. Allowing him to read the movements of his opponents and copy any jutsu that is performed by a Shinobi. He has access to all the abilities of the Sharingan.

The Sharingan is truly Rentaro's greatest asset in a battle, but it also acts as a double-edged sword. Due to the fact that he has no Uchiha blood, it means that the usage of chakra for using the Sharingan is much higher compared to the amount of chakra an Uchiha would require to keep it active. Aside from that, Rentaro is unable to deactivate the Sharingan, so it's constantly active. Because of this, he is forced to cover his eye with a black eye patch to prevent the eye from draining his chakra. Through extensive training and battle experience, Rentaro has access to the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Enhanced Agility
Rentaro possesses agility that makes him excel in combat, allowing him to move faster than the eye can see with relative ease. This is the result of his extensive training to improve his agility to complement his Sharingan's ability that increases the user's perception and reaction time. Because it doesn't matter if you can see the enemy's movements if you aren't agile enough to dodge them and counter-attack them.

Purple Lightning
A rare ability to use Purple Lightning, through studying ninjutsu and chakra nature theory, Rentaro learned to use a much more powerful version of lightning. Just like the name suggests, he is able to generate purple electricity in some of his jutsus that have increased power. Rentaro normally uses this to engage enemies from a distance.

[Asuka Waruichi]

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

As the girl soaked in the calmness of the situation having a moment to rest she’d relinquish her camouflage and would overhear the sounds of the announcement letting her know that it was time for the next round. Now knowing her situation she’d let out one last pulse in order to see what she’d be able to encounter feeling as thought the island would more than likely be crawling with monsters at this point.

After a moment she’d take on her heels and would make a mad dash towards the center looking about for someone or something to try and scrounge together a few points she may have the objective but if the score is holistic she needed something to hopefully secure some kind of a victory.

She had a good amount of chakra still remaining within her and needed to make certain that she wasn’t too reckless but surely with the amount of strength she had she would be able to see herself through, but with the amount of power that these beasts held even for one such as herself perhaps it wouldn’t be as easy. Asuka would stop out just before reaching the water actively enabling the full scope of her sensory abilities. Her full 200m radius.

We are violence Kyouka sighed in annoyance at the sight of those monsters, and noticing that the Raiton barrier was also gone for a while now, she assumed someone else was close to winning this event, so there was no point on her pushing forward anymore. Raising her hand, she stopped on a tree branch. "I'm done, take me out of here." she said in a rather annoyed tone, waiting for the staff to pick her up and take her to safety.

[Kaguya Toru]

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku Takeuchi Rentaro @enri Asuka Waruichi

Kuni would continue to lie in wait, though if she looked around there was a very dangerous amount of monsters down below her. If she jumped down, she would surely be seen and attacked. It was as if every minute or so, something passed by. Otherworldly creatures, some even letting off spores it seemed that once inhaled would trigger fight or flight responses.

Enri would awaken, nightfall now. Many monsters were around, crawling through the spaces. In the distance, she could likely hear horrifying screeches, and at times a few hisses and such from the ones in the area. Were they communicating? Perhaps, though impossible to tell. Instead, she would turn back towards where she had lost Nuibari. There was no clear cut way to get there, but with monsters in the trees it might be a possibility if only she could be totally silent...

Rentaro started traversing the trees, impossible to be silent for him, so of course many monsters started to pay attention. And as he got closer to the center, he would come across a few that would leap into the trees after him multi-eyed expelling spores to cause the man to feel extreme amounts of fear.

Asuka would try to sense something in the area, and despite the many monsters in the area, most of them didn't seem to have chakra signatures. So she was left with only her eyes as guides in the darkness. Once she got to the edge of the water she would stop to scope... Nothing, except the figure that saw her. It ran at her, and it was extremely agile. Far more agile than Asuka in fact, it seemed to cross the distance before one could blink and it would reach out to slice into Asuka's face with talons.

Kyouka was taken out of the running however, someone appeared and zapped her to knock her out.

"Another down!" The voice spoke out in announcement, giggling joyfully before it turned to silence.

[Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku]

@ still a lot

Curtain Call

We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need.

The Mikatakujira continued to watch, waiting in place for someone to trip up and come her way. She noticed the gurgles and cackles coming from below her, the Chūnin tilted her head and looked down. A smile crept on her face as she noted that the sirens and announcer were deadly serious about Stage 3 starting. The number of monsters below her would unsettle most but they delighted Kuni. She truly felt like an alpha predator at this point, a monster of monsters. She didn't per see have the home advantage, but she does have enough advantage of the environment. There were enough monsters here to tear her apart as much as any other person but that was the plan.

The number of spores in the air brought a coy smile to her face. It looked like these things were aerosol in nature. Whatever they did truly didn't affect her, even if she breathed, what system would it affect? She had no need and no capability to unless she was making a social gesture. The line between Kunikunosaku and Jiongu stopped at her conscious. Even then, she herself was still trying to figure if she was a monster or still a human. The act she has planned was pretty horrific in itself and the Mikatakujira didn't have enough hearts to care whether it was inhumane or not. She wanted to win and she wanted the heart(s) that came with such a victory. She was sure that she couldn't get any more information from just watching. Even if she was planning an ambush, there was a chance that she couldn't match whoever's speed if she wanted to ambush them. There was a clearing in front of the checkpoint and she could use it to her advantage.

As to how Kunikunosaku would have to make up as she went with it. Kunikunosaku looked at the dagger in her left hand, Hisan. Such a sad name for a beautiful blade, but, it isn't the first time Mizu no Kuni kept a blade. She looked behind her, scanning for a weak tree branch to suffice with her plan. Whether it worked did not matter too much to her, she had many tricks to up her sleeve still, it was quite a pity she didn't use everything as intended but what mattered was that they worked for her. She threw the dagger with all her force, hopefully hitting the weakened branch and causing it to fall, making a loud auditory decoy behind her as she raised a singular handseal, disappearing in a combustion of flames.

In a few seconds, she reappeared in front of the checkpoint, not near passing the gates but in the clearing it had formed in front of it. Kunikunosaku looked behind her, making sure she was safe from crossing the gates. Kunikunosaku simply stood in wait for another contender to appear. The girl rolled her neck and the tendrils within twitched under her, she was ready for the final act to begin, it was simply a series of unfortunate events for any other contender that the final opponent was her but there was no way in hell she was going to let them reach this. The point explanations and the idea of the event thus far had her feeling like she knew how the end will play out, after all, she was trained into her life by the Lord of her village and the Jinchūriki. She was truly trained by the best Takigakure had to offer, if she failed, well... she had to win.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body
As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Power of a God:
After a great time learning how to control Jiongu, Kunikunosaku has learned to store chakra in each of her threads so long as they continue to be attached to at least one of her hearts. This extra storage capacity allows the girl to amass greater amounts of chakra within herself, expanding her reserves beyond that of the normal shinobi her rank. As with many other abilities, this ability continues to grow as the girl does through the ranks and years.

Cursed Master:

As a reward for attaining a greater deal of control over her symbiotic relationship with Jiongu, Kunikunosaku acquired the keys to the gate of mastering her abilities. This new boon allows Kunikunosaku to double the impact of her EGF ninjutsu. In addition, a passive boon is the ability to completely negate Jiongu's manipulation to consume more hearts. These boons together allow Kuni to further manipulate Jiongu against its basic natures, improving her unique utilization. While still young and unrefined, the ability is expected to grow as their bond deepens to even further levels.

[attr="class","enri"]Enri truly did not want to leave her Nuibari to itself but being surrounded by creatures in an unknown place made her fear for her life. As a voice spoke over the intercom, it signaled someone had left, meaning she could do the same. She wasn’t going to get to the center of the island, and she knew it. Though, truthfully, she didn’t care to either. She had already lost too much, and she wanted to return to Shoyo safely.

The woman raised her hand, her head lowering in defeat. "I concede,” she said, admitting to herself and the staff of whatever hellish event this was that she had failed.

[Takeuchi Rentaro]

Just as he had initially expected, the island had become infested by those creatures. It was crazy to think that they had so many of them available, to the point that he started to some specimens he had not encountered before. Rentaro started to be followed by them, some of them even began climbing the trees behind him. One of them was even multi-eyed and started expelling some spores, he covered his nose with the use of his arm as he did not desire to inhale those spores. However, he quickly found himself overwhelmed by them. He had an idea on how to get out of this situation, but the chances of success were not high. There was a possibility he could burn all of them away with a single attack that will consume high amounts of chakra, but even then he could not predict what would happen after.

Rentaro realized that whatever he was planning to do was a high-risk plan that would not guarantee his success. He heard the announcement of someone having forfeited, which was not surprising. Even if he could somehow get away from those monsters, which he doubted he would get any far. At this point he was just wasting his energy thinking and certainly trying to get away from all of them would be a massive pain in the ass. "This is a pain in the ass and I'm too tired. I'm done here, I'm out." Rentaro stated, stopping his movement and raising his hand up, as a way to show that he gave up.

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

Upon landing on the ground the girl wouldn’t be able to see anything which she found odd but a creature however was able to see her hearing it she’d turn about and craft a hand seal in order to body flicker away from the situation keeping herself safe as she passed through on the water making her way towards the center but along the way there she'd notice a rather familiar chakra signature which intrigued her as she made her way forward.

However upon closing in she’d notice a change in the atmosphere spores of some kind seemingly covering the air. She’d be careful not to get too close and would take some of the bandages she kept in her weapon pouch to cover her face and attempt to keep herself safe from the spores she could see in the atmosphere. After wading her way forward closing in the center point where she needed to place the objective the presence became far more vivid and after a few moments of thought she was able to finally pinpoint it.

"Kuni…?” the girl would head forward bracing herself for whatever was too come, almost certain a fight was headed her way what were her intentions for being here she wondered either way surely she was able to ward her off and by enough time to succeed.

Summary:


Heavy Handed Iron Fist:
With the rigorous training that Asuka had to endure as she honed her body to levels of perfection rivaling that of any martial arts master. Asuka's strength has increased 10 fold to the point where she is able to crush stoned within her grasp and breaks bones of lesser individuals with ease. And while she still has much to learn as a chunin. The youth's power is not one to be challenged lightly, as she is able to perform physical feats that would seem inhuman to even most shinobi.

Hijutsu: Kinu no Eikyō:
Asuka is a member of the Waruichi clan and as such has the ability to control a special chakra infused silk that was forged by a special group of silkworms that feed on the corpses of dead clansmen. With it Asuka can craft and shape the silk to her will and uses it in a mostly supplementary fashion to aid her in battle alongside her powerful taijutsu skills.

Iron Burst:
As a sole practitioner of Taijutsu Asuka has relentlessly pushed her body against itself for spectacular results: her strength carries over into her speed, and as such alongside the control she exerts body in spirit and in mind, she is intensely faster than those of a similar level of strength and maneuvering expertly as if the air were an extension of her own body.

A Disciplined Iron Bull:
During Asuka's time as a genin the youth had begun to realize that in order to excel as a shinobi she needed to learn how to properly utilize her chakra. And while she doesn't posses the greatest of reserves the youth has learned through rigorous meditation how to keep her chakra still and calm. As a result she is now able to wield it with a great deal of control and is able to channel only the necessary amounts of chakra into the few jutsu she uses in order to make the most of their abilities whilst still being able to keep up in a fight.

A siren sounded just as Enri would concede, meaning that as she got knocked out and taken off of the island all of the remaining participants would witness the spawn of even more monsters. It would be hard to move around at all without being notice at this point unless one had a particular way that was stealthier to do so. Perhaps someone of Oinin Butai or ANBU. But, alas, no one left on the island was quite this capable... Maybe Kuni, but she too would fail in most accounts on account of her more flamboyant nature when it came to combat.

The noble Nuibari would be retrieved soon thereafter to be taken away with Enri.

Kuni would station herself near the gate, she couldn't pass it though because she did not possess the objective in hand. Leaving her quite vulnerable in truth to any attacks from monsters, but a few of them had migrated to the sound the branch had made for the time being so she was - mostly - safe.

Rentaro would also forfeit, knocked out before someone masked took him from the area.

"Wowowow! Only three of you left on the island amazing!" The voice crackled. But then a horrible scream could be heard from the center. "Oh.. never mind. Two."

For Asuka, well it would be impossible to not inhale the spores without a proper mask or some kind of face covering. There was no 'dodging' them. And they were in great quantity for some reason, though a quick look to the left and right it didn't really surprise anyone. There were multi-eyed monsters in the area, and there were a lot of them.

And now, a little less distracted with the sound of branches three of them steam rolled towards Asuka and Kuni. And with speed that exceeded either one of them, they would be on them in a flash. Arms out, ready to kill.
