Each of you is lead into the arena from a different side by a Jounin. Kasumi is lead in from the North and Saki from the South. As you enter you notice the large round field. There are two giant weeping willow trees one on the east side the other on the west side, One of them seems to have taken quite a beating from the last match with a dent in the side from exploding tags. The ground also shows the wear of the last few matches. A large audience is watching and cheering. The Jounin's stop at the entrance way and give you a little shove into the arena. "Goodluck." They say to you.

Kasumi walked into the area with her hand clasped together behind her head. "Is this really necessary?" she states in a bored tone in her voice. Kasumi didn't know much about her opponent, and based on her attitude didn't really care either.

Saki was lead into the arena as well. She glanced around yawned and stretched. "Bored already..." She sighed and took a few steps into the field. She sighed heavily. "Why do I get the feeling my match is 'much anticipated' I really dislike being the center of attention." She muttered to herself before looking around her eyes landing on Kasumi.

Saburi Kashikiri Saki was lead into the arena as well. She glanced around yawned and stretched. "Bored already..." She sighed and took a few steps into the field. She sighed heavily. "Why do I get the feeling my match is 'much anticipated' I really dislike being the center of attention." She muttered to herself before looking around her eyes landing on Kasumi. " Oh the new kid..." Kasumi says as her eyes made contact with Saki. Kasumi sighed and took her hands off her head, then placed them behind her back. " I might as well be polite." she says and bows toward Saki. This was different for Saki to see, no one sparring with her has done this kind of thing before...ever. Kasumi looked different from all the other lackies Saki had seen in the village. She looked...trained...well trained.

Saki eyed the other girl cautiously. She put her right fist to her left palm and half bowed to the other girl keeping her eyes trained on Kasumi the entire time. As open as she seemed in the village it is obvious from her wariness that she is a well trained fighter. She takes a deep breath and steps back with her right foot presenting her left side. She sunk down into a lower horse stance feet at shoulder width she extended her left hand palm towards Kasumi her three outer fingers folded over her index and thumb straight out. Her right hand was brought back to her waist hand fisted palm up. This stance allowed her to present only a small portion of her protected side to her opponent. She trained her eyes on Kasumi and steadied her breathing. A small wicked smile barely broke her lips.

Kasumi looked at the girl's stance and smiled briefly. Kasumi also took a fighting stance. Hers was different though, Kasumi faced Saki with her right foot slightly forward, left foot turned to the north, and arms toward Saki with hand palms out. Kasumi looked somewhat focused, this could be either really boring or very tough. It was hard to tell which at the moment. Kasumi was looking at Saki trying to size her up, but wasn't sure you of the two of them was going to make the first move. When a battle is this intense many sit on the edge of their seats in anticipation.

Saki continued her slow calm breathing to settle into the Shadow Hand Taijutsu her family had cultivated she looked around quickly marking all of the darkest shadows in the area. She turned her front hand around and waved Kasumi forward.

She turned her front hand around and waved Kasumi forward. Knowing that rushing in is something a true fighter would never do, Kasumi used some hand signs to perform the Kaage Bushin no Jutsu technique. Kasumi made four copies of herself and surrounded Saki.

Saki grinned. She loved odds like these. Most of the time being outnumbered was a disadvantage but with the Shadow Hand it was actually slightly to her advantage to be surrounded as her opponent would soon find out no doubt. Saki glanced around at each of the Kasumi's judge who was clone and who was real though it didn't really matter anyways she'd take them all as if they were the real the girl could waste her chakra all she wanted.

Not knowing hardly anything about her opponent Kasumi and her clones took out the Tonfa and took a battle ready stance once again. They all closed their eyes, and began to rely on sounds. This was a technique that Kasumi had learned from studying with Keade. Kasumi wasn't very sure how well this method would work here, but anything is worth a try during exams. "Who knows you might unlock a skill." is what Kasumi remembers hearing from someone watching them at that time.

Saki took in the other girls weapons with a slight smile. Two could play at that game but she chose to keep herself to just her hands for now.

Saburi Kashikiri Saki took in the other girls weapons with a slight smile. Two could play at that game but she chose to keep herself to just her hands for now. As Kasumi focused her thoughts, a spark flashed in her mind. She opened her eyes and began channeling chakra. The air around her and Saki began to stir as if a vortex was beginning right there in the middle of them. Tiny flashes of lightning appeared between the tonpha of all the Kasumi copies.

Saki looked around at the Kasumis before sighing. In her opinion it was stupid to use volatile and projectile type attacks when you surround an enemy after all if they duck you just end up attacking yourself for them. She lowered her stance cleared her mind and search for a suitable shadows for her to make use of.

"Raikyu!" one of the Kasumi's yells as she throws her arms forward and a ball of light flies at Saki. The rest of the Kasumi's stead fast, as they waited to see what reaction Saki was going to take. The shadows of the area where limited as the arena was fairly bright, where they stood. The trees where the only places producing large and dark enough shadows to do anything.

Saki merely dropped down dodging the lightning she skittered under that Kasumi's arm and quickly changed direction drawing one of her Kodati as she moved it swiped across that Kasumi's middle as she turned to face the others ready to defend herself.
