The Arena!!!

One on one combat... I can use two of my statues and cyclops... Yes... That should be sufficient... Sebaata felt the weight strapped to his back. The weight was constant reassurance that he was equipped with the tools for victory. "Skei..." This name did not seem familiar to him, thankfully he would not have to fight any of the ninja he had build various levels of bonds with. At least not yet. He pulled out a, small scroll from his pouch and spread it out on the, floor. He passed his thumb along the bottom of the scroll to give himself a paper cut. He passed his bloody thumb across the scroll and he places his palm in the center. A loud poof and smoke enveloped him. When the smoke settled, he appeared sitting in front of pot of boiling broth, a coal grill and a sizzling skillet. Various foods sat in ornamental plates as he began to cook. The smell of cooking food slowly envelops the room. "All are welcomed to share a meal... "

Tsushi found herself again in awe of everything around her. Thanks to her amazing partner, she and Mayumi now are able to prove themselves again. Now is not the time to back down… She looked up at the names and realized that her first opponent is not someone she knew. That could be really good or really bad
Turning to Mayumi, Tsushi placed her hand on her new friend’s shoulder, “Here’s to hoping we won’t have to destroy each other, but if we do maybe I’ll go easy on you.” She said with a chuckle and hoping her words held some truth. She hoped she wouldn’t have to fight her, but she would o whatever it took to pass.

Suddenly Tsushi smelled food? She sniffed and looked around, confused as to where it was coming from. As she turned around she saw Sebaata sitting with sustenance surrounding him, offering a shared meal.
“Thank you for the offer Sebaata,” she said as she approached “It’s very generous of you to share” And she sat down with the mysterious shinobi.

Akio listened to the speech of the Hokage, ‘OH YEAH! Individual battles I can finally fight without hesitation and really let loose. Oh I really hope it’s Asami or maybe Sebaata. What if it’s Tsushi, I would probably, let her win honestly just to see her move on and watch her fights. But it could be Yuki, that would be a hell of a fight with his cold demeanor he has to be strong and Mayumi, I didn’t see her once during the last exam so she is probably amazing at stealth. Then there is that super tall cloud ninja. He seems strong. Yuto is barely conscious so he might be a walk in the park, but what if it’s Ray, I would hate to fight my friend so early and Gen…’ Akio’s thoughts went silent as he approached the board and read off who he had to fight. 

“Gen,” he said with a whispered tone. He shook to the core feeling a strong sense of dread. ‘I just fought Gen and we just got to being good friends. Damnit, well I get 2 hours. I know a bit about his fighting style and gotta come up with a plan to restrain him or something cause I don’t want to hurt him like I did in the forest,’ his thoughts began swirling about what to do in this situation and landed on a plan as he made it back to Ray. He looked as if the life drained from him and slumped down next to Ray with crossed legs. He could feel the natural chakra permeating and filling Ray’s chakra reserves. He could always sense the nature chakra Ray used but could never reach out and grab it the way Ray could no matter how hard he tried. It was if that kind of chakra rejected him.

 ‘I’ll build up 1/3 of my chakra into a bead of high compression, that I can use throughout the fight as a super strong polymer. This will take probably 1 hr, 43 mins and 16 seconds. The compression ratio of chakra to air needs to be 1352 to 1 for it to work correctly. Ray your fighting Yuto, again,’ he thought to himself never uttering a word of it as he began his work on creating a spear of solid chakra no larger than a marble between his hands keeping them overlapped so not to show it off he built layer by layer.

Mayumi smiled back at Tsushi. "The feeling is mutual, but if it comes down to, lets give it our all." She examined the board and noticed Yuki's name as her opponent. I havent had much interaction with him, this might be challenging

Mayumi caught the smell of cooking food and turned her attention over to where Sebaata was preparing food. She slowly approached, knowing she needed to rebuild her energy.

"Thank you for the offer, I greatly appreciate it"

Sebaata continued so cook for anyone that wanted. He served himself a small portion of what he cooked for himself. He gives a warm nod to everyone that thanked him and sat to enjoy a meal. He turns to asami. "If it comes down to it... I do not expect you to hold back... No matter the cost... We as ninja must do what we must to complete the mission... "

Yuki shrugged, snapping out of his daydream of Mayumi going on a date for ramen with him. Fights he could handle, but pretty girls were hard to fight. "Alright." He drew the gleaming white blade from the sheath on his back. A white dragon design crept up the blade for about 6 inches. It looked like topaz had been painstakingly placed where the eyes of the dragon should be. "It's a sword from my ma. She said it came from the village I'm from, though she still won't tell me its name. The village, not the sword. She called the sword "Ryu" and said it was very precious." Yuki laid it out flat across his hand for Gen to see the design and slight curve of the sword.
