Taijutsu test

[Akira]

Gai and Lee both sat waiting for the students who would come to take part in the Taijutsu test. If not all students who were in class pass then they were going to punish themselves for it.

[Fukurou]

Fukurou had already been there for quite some time, but he was in deep meditation when Lee and Gai-sensai arrived. He was trying to remind himself; this was a taijutsu test, and he could not use other jutsus to aid himself when it came his turn to proove himself...

[Keagan]

This was the big day, or well one of them, the Taijutsu test, he only hoped he could pass. Quietly he made his way to the testing ground, he picked up three people, already there and he smiled at them.

"Hello"

[Blink]

Shortly after Keagan arrived there was Blink. He already had his hair tied back and holding his jacket in his arm as he stepped up to the testing ground. Just one more test and he could become a genin just like his friends. He was very excited and his smile proved it.

[Noro Seiki]

Noro slowly walked up, Unsure of his location. He sat down, and began to use his jutsu, scoping out the area around him. Satisfied, he remained sitting, waiting for the test to commence.

[Akira]

"Welcome all to the Taijutsu test." Said Gai who was beaming at the people who had been in the class he had held and nodding to the new comers. He'd be watching them very closely seeing as they didn't take the class. "You shall all be placed againest me or my students in which are with me today to test your skills. This is not a matter of winning or losing. This is to show how well you can fight. I will be judging you all accordingly. My team will be helping out in this. Lee, Neji and Tenten. Do not fear to try you best. They are aware of the risks involved and will not be trying to seriously hurt you but that doesn't mean no one will get hurt today. Now for who you will be againest."

"Fukurou. You shall be fighting me."

"Keagan. You shall be fighting Neji"

"Blink. You shall be fighting Lee"

"Noro. You shall be fighting Tenten"

"You may start when ready."

(Okay a little out of character explinatation about how this is gonig to work. You will type out a fight scene between you and the Naruto character you have been paried you. You will be controling the Naruto character in your responce as you fight them. You will be deciding if the fight is lost, won or tied, but the outcome of the fight will not determine weather you pass this test of not. it's all in your posting and what your character does. If you know nothing about the character your up againest that's fine. You will only be using Taijutsu so none of the special Jutsu's of those characters will be used. If you have any questions pm me and good luck to all ^_^)

[Keagan]

Keagan stood off to the side, he listend to Gai-sensei's words and was somewhat stunned at the fact that he was going to be paired up with one of the best gentle fist fighters around. He knew it involved close contact...and that was about it. He gulped a bit and nodded before making his way over to the long hair, white eyed teen.

"Hello Neji-san"

He bowed and offered him a gentle smile.

~~~

He stood off the the side, white eyes watching at they copper haired boy slowly made his way over to him. He blinked a few times, taking in his short status and bright eyes, he had been told that the kid was blind...but that wasn't going to stop him from pushing him to his limits and beyond.

"Lets get started"

He words came out in a cool mono-tone. He shifted back, and got into a normal tai jutsu stance at the moment, saving his gentle fist for later, when he gaged where the boy was.

~~~

Keagan gulped a bit and nodded his head, he was told that Neji could come off as cool...but it was totally different where you were there in front of him. Closing his eyes he took a breath and he to got into a stance. He waited, his ears waiting to pick up the sudden sound of the other shifting or the ground below him moving.

~~~

Neji waited for a while, he watched the other for a moment or two before he quickly attacked, his arms pulled back into a punch, aiming for the boys face.

~~~

The sound of ground moving and the cutting air made him take a jump back and to the side, but he didn't get away from the fast movement, the punch from the other landed on the side of his cheek causing him to fall to the ground, once there he grunted and used the fall to swiftly kick his feet out, trying to swipe the other off of his feet.

~~~

He was surprised at how fast the blind boy seemed to move, just by reading the sounds that he gave off, but he wasn't fast enough for Neji, he jumped over the feet landing a hard blow to the boys stomach, causing him the fly back a bit.

~~~

Another grunt came from is lips as he hit the ground hard. He glared at the other, those bright eyes turning hard as he got to his feet and charged at him.

~~~

There was a mass of punches and kicks between the two, Keagan landing a few good punches, and one or two kicks, but in the end it was Neji who came out the winner.

Kegan lay on the ground, sweat covering his body, panting harshly, bruises where slowly starting to form on his arms and
legs. A rather large ugly cut was place on his upper arm.

Neji stood in front of him, he watched the panting boy for a moment before he held out his hand, offering him help.

[Noro Seiki]

Noro stayed seated, waiting for somone to ask, in a suprisingly feminine voice, "Noro? Noro, where are you?" And at his expected question, he raised his hand and spoke, "That's me." The combatant walked forward, and Noro handsigned quickly, getting a quick view of his surroundings, and his opponent, who he only now realised was a girl. He stood up, his jutsu dissipating, and entered his usual unarmed fighting stance. His eyes were closed, and his breaths began to slow down.

"Okay" spoke Tenten, "I want you to hit me, and don't hold back!" Noro simply nodded, and charged her, judging the distance suprisingly well. He jumped upwards, attempting to land a heel crusher on tenten's shoulder, but he failed miserably. Tenten managed to both block and grab his leg, and she flung him to the side as though he were a toy.

Landing with a *thud*, Noro got up, and tried to gain his bearings, unsure of Tenten's location. He guessed, deciding against using his jutsu again. This was a taijutsu test, and him repeatedly using a jutsu might jeapordize his chances of passing. He tore off again towards tenten, and unleashed a flurry of kicks at her, each one getting blocked back, and throwing Noro off his balance a bit.

Tenten laughed from behind Noro, ignorant to his blindness. "That's great and all, but you're supposed to hit me, not an innocent tree!" Noro reared around, and charged her, now positive of her location. He punched at her, then kicked at her, then even attempted to trip her, all of which ended with her blocking, and him taking some minor damage.

Finnally he began to think more strategically than simply charging at her. He smiled, and lept back a few meters, before charging at Tenten. His right fist pulled back to deal a crushing blow, which Tenten was easily able to see. Noro himself had to keep himself in the mindset of using his right arm to attack the whole time, and as he ran at her, his left arm was at his eye level, so as to guard from a possible counter attack. However, as he got within a half a meter's distance of tenten, his attack changed, his right arm flew forwards, not as a punch, but as a counterweight to his left arm flying backwards in preparation for a punch. The fact that his left arm had only seconds to get into position, and definitly not enough time to pull back all the way, would weaken the power of his punch, but the momentum he had built up would hopefully compensate.

His punch hit it's mark perfectly, and as he followed through on the punch, he felt Tenten's body move as though it were gliding about the ground. Only then did Noro realise he had completely knocked tenten off her feet, and sent her flying through the air. Only then did Noro also realise the immense pain his hand was in from the punch. He hadn't thought ahead enough to clench his hand into a proper fist, and he had just broken his thumb...There was definitly no possibility of him landing another punch like that, or even for him to continue.

Tenten herself was taken by suprise. The boy had gone from predictably charging her to something slightly more strategic. All of her weight had been on her left foot to take the brunt of the boy's charge, and the left handed attack had put most of the force on her right side, causing her to soar through the air and land on the ground. She quickly got up, prepared for another attack, but saw instead that the boy was simply standing there, his left hand in an improper fist, and he wasn't letting off on it either. Poor kid had probably broken his hand...She was beginning to question whether he had even known he would switch attacking sides.

Noro was the first to bow, apologising for his inability to continue. Tenten returned the bow, stating, "You've done all you needed to for this test, and you fought well." Noro blushed at her compliment, as it was rare for him to gain such things from fellow ninja. Let alone a Genin...He bowed again before Hurrying back to his original spot.

[Fukurou]

Fukurou stood stock still as Gai sensai approached him, and each bowed to the other in turn. Quickly, Fukurou snapped back into a fighting stance, watching the base of Gai's neck so that he would see even the most minute manuvre that the sensai made. He had a kind of stuborn determination on his face, so much so that fire seemed to burn within his eyes...


"OOoooooos!" Gai yelled out, thinking he had given his determined young pupil enough time to prepare. He started out simple and launched but a simple three punch combo.

Fukurou blocked the first punch while stepping back to be outside of range of the other two, but did not retaliate yet. He still needed the sensai to through a few more attacks to try and figure out his manuvres.

Wasting little time, Gai sidestepped and moved in once again. Once again, there was a three punch combo, but to show Fukurou that stepping back did not always work, Gai also through a very hard round house as well.

Fukurou did the same thing the second time, he stepped back blocking the first punch and avoiding the second two. He had been expecting the kick to follow this time however and used a side augmented X block, the power of the kick driving him backwards almost 20' but he did not break stance. He returned his hands to the guard position, and awaited Gai's next onslaught.

"Oh, the power of youth flows through you!" Gai yelled enthusiastically and charged in once again, adding both speed and power to his techniques since Fukurou still had yet to through a single counter attack.

This time, Fukurou did respond. When the first punch came towards him, rather than block it, Fukurou dropped to the ground in the splits, and then rolled forward wrapping his legs around Gai's waiste and tried to roll over to flip the sensai onto the ground.

Gai unfortuntately had a very strong stance as well, and was too powerful to be moved by such a weak move, though the quickness of it did surprize him. As he resisted the attack, he also threw a punch downward at Fukurou.

Fukurou snarled as he realized his attack was useless, and was unable to recover fast enough to avoid the punch. It conected with his spine right behind his shoulder blades and he fell off of Gai and onto the ground.

"Hahahaha, that is one point, continue Fukurou-san!" Gai said returning to his starting line and taking up a defensive stance.

Fukurou was quick to get back to his feet and he too returned to his spot. A second later, he loosed a flurry of high punches at Gai, driving him back several feet in deffence. Gai however, was once again the faster, and in between blocking two of Fukurou's punches, he ducked lower and punched Fukurou in the stomach, once again driving him to the ground.

Fukurou growled, but quickly got back to his feet and this time, once again awaited Gai's attack.

"This point will end it!" Gai yelled goodnaturedly to Fukurou, and charged in again, with his routine punching combo.

Fire burned inside Fukurou's eyes, he wasn't sure if this was allowed during a tai-jutsu match or not, but he had to try. Fukurou was a much better fighter on the ground than standing up. Once more, he avoided the first punch by dropping into the splits, and he once again tried to wrap Gai in his legs. This time however, Fukurou attempted to flip his sensai in the opposite direction and concentrated his chakra, a burst of fire errupted from his right hand, propelling his whole body to the left.

The extra force was enough to flip Gai-sensai over onto his back and he Kiai'd as he hit the ground.

In a flash, Fukurou was on top of Gai in a sitting position and attempting an arm lock with one hand while he punched for Gai's chin, stopping the attack milimeter's from his sensai's face.

Gai nodded exubrantly and yelled his congradulations at his student for a point well earned. "The glory of youth triumphs once again!"

Back in a standing position, Gai charged at Fukurou once more, decided he needed to up the dificulty in his attacks yet another notch. THis time Gai attacked with a barrage of round houses, front kicks, and a spinning side kick.

Knowing the spinning kick would take the longest to complete, Fukurou dodged the kicks (just bearly) until it came about. That was his chance. While Gai had one foot in the air, he attacked the ankle of the foot still on the ground to try to bring Gai to the ground once more.

Gai however was ready for this attack, already understanding Fukurou's fighting style. Since he had a good idea that this was the kick Fukurou would make his attack on, he was prepared, and leapt into the air, flipping over top of Fukurou and grabbing his shoulders. As Gai landed on his feet, he used the momentum to bring Fukurou up and over him and plant him on the ground in front of himself, and delivered a hard shot to Fukurou's spine once more.

"That is three!" Gai yelled triumphant. "But do not fret, for the power of youth will not let you stay where you are, but only improve from now on! Ooooos!" Lower in tone and volume, he said to Fukurou. "You most likely would have never won. As I saw you were better, I improved my own attacks, trying to always stay one step out of your reach, but to test just how good you were. You did excellent, but the test wasn't about winning, it was what you did with the oppurtunities given to you." Gai winked, and went to observe the rest of his team and students...

[Blink]

Blink moved up to Lee, he bowed at the same time Lee did and they both moved back and took a stance.

"Anytime you are ready." Lee said with a curt nod.
Blink gave a strong smile and took a moment to mentally prepare himself. When he felt ready, he shifted his weight and ran foreward, swiping in the air and then moving in to elbow Lee in the gut. It wasn't a match for Lee's constant prepared state. He dodged by simply moving back then throwing a carefully placed blow towards Blink. The blonde immediately moved back, but not without Lee's strike grazing him.
Blink gave his left shoulder a good shake to work out the kink Lee threw into it. He moved in again, at the same time Lee moved forward, "Ahh!" Blink ducked quickly to avoid a collision with Lee's fist and rolled to the side to avoid a foot sinking into him. Instead it hit the grass and left the hole of his foot there. How serious was Lee fighting?
Lee was using what he believed to be enough power to push Blink, if he had landed the hit, he wouldn't have used as much force. Blink however didn't know this and just saw the power Lee packed behind his moves, making him even more wary of getting hit.
Blink swung his foot around to knock Lee away next time he moved in. Lee caught his foot and swung him, mid-swing Blink lifted his over foot up, spinning and kicking it into Lee's side. Lee took the hit but didn't get knocked back as far as Blink had hoped....and now Lee had both his legs.
Lee took another firm hold of Blink, lifting him up and slamming him to the ground. All Blink could do for the moment was prepare himself for the blow. His hands coming out and taking the majority of the damage, his legs now wrapping round Lee's waist and letting out a loud struggling grunt, lifting Lee off his feet to reverse slam him.
The other ninja outmanuvered Blink again, escaping the hold inches before impact, landing on his shoulders and sweeping Blink right out of the small dirt hole that was created around him from Lee's previous attack. Getting hit by Lee's owerful sweep sent Blin skidding along the ground, barely being able to recollect himself before Lee was bringing another fist on him. He kept blocking as Lee began to wear him down.
He was panting now, he needed to make his own move of he's be too exhausted to attack. Every kick he blocked zapped a little of his strength. He jumped backwards many feet to give himself some distance and time to form a stratigy. Lee was quickly on him again, this time Blink jumped up, springing forward and shfting into an open space between Lee's fist and his chest, elbowing him back. It was his first successful hit that he completely landed in the test. He let out a heavy gasp and smiled. He looked down to where Lee should have been, only to find the space empty.

Lee was standind directly behind Blink, "Never take your eyes off you're opponent." He said before giving a swipe and powerful chop into Blink's shoulder, making him fall to his knees from the impact.

Lee stepped back, the match was over. He gave a bow to Blink. "You fought well."
Blink turned around cautiously, still not able to stand and instead, bowing from where he knelt. "Thanks." he wheezed out, thankful Lee had decided to end the match there but still wishing he could have continued just to see what else the other ninja could do.
Lee walked over and offered his hand, Blink winced at it, standing wasn't sonething he wanted to do at the moment but he took the hand and stood up slowly. "Thanks Lee." He said again.

[Akira]

"Good job eveyone. God job indeed. Wait a moment well I decuse with everyone." He called as Tenten, Neji and Lee walked over to him. It wasn't long befor Gai walked back up to them with tears runnig down his face.

YOU ALL PASS!

He yelled looking very proud and covering his fac in his arms. Lee, Tenten and Neji just grinned at the announcement happy for the students.
