Welcome to Gaia! ::

You are both lead back into the arena to the roar of the crowds. Kasumi is lead in from the North and Shuna from the South. As you enter you notice the large round field has sustained some damage from the previous fights. The two giant weeping willow trees seem a little roughed up as well. One of them has even taken quite extensive damage with a dent in the side from exploding tags. The Jounins stop at the entrance way and patting you on the back they smile and offer you congratulations on your past wins and encouragement for this next one. "Show them how it's done Kasumi!" One give says giving the Cloud nin a thumbs up. "I expect a good match from you both." Says the one with Shuna winking as he turned around.

Shuna walked into the area looking like a young ancient japan mannored wife. As she got roughly a quarter way to the center she stops, then tilted her head up to see Kasumi. shuna smiles with her head slightly tilted to the left. Shuna knew a little about Kasumi since she got briefed on the last fight.

Shuna kept her smile as she also took a fighting stance. Shuna's fighting stance was near the same as Kasumi's this was going to be an interesting match for sure.

Shuna quickly moved to the left and blocked the punch, then retallinated with her own punch with her left arm. This punch was going over Kasumi's right arm heading straight for the head.

Shuna blocked the elbow, and open palm struck Kasumi in the kidney area of her back. Those that knew of Shuna's family clan would recognize the strike as a trade mark attack known as Hyuken no Mizu (Flowing Water Palm). Attacks in this fashion are like rippling water that passes threw the target, and are extremely damaging if preformed hitting vital points.

Shuna moved back a little from being pushed off by Kasumi. Shuna took her fighting stance again. She closed her eyes and began to focus. The air around her started to feel like flowing water. Shuna was gathering Chakra for something.

Shuna opened her eyes and began preforming jutsu signs. Her hands were moving at a incredible rate, even some of the Jounin watching her were having a hard time following the gestures. She quickly grabbed a small gort from her side and tosted it up. With the speed of her hand Shuna punched the gort breaking it in two. This released a small amount of water that she bagan swirling around in a circle using her arms.

The water that Shuna was controlling began to take a shape. Shuna waved her arms a few more times, then pushed out toward Kasumi with her hands positioned like claws. The water rushed in Kasumi's direction appearing like a serpant or dragon.
