Bump, bump, bump. Denkou’s heart raced as he sat in the changing rooms. His mind focusing solely on the mission at hand. He had to take on a wild beast in the Arena, but not just any wild beast, it was an Armored Rhino! He had watched the event only once before and that was before he was a Genin. He was a spectator in the crowd watching his older brother defeat the same beast he now had to face. His brother won and so would he. The distant cheer of the crowd roared from above as they eagerly awaited his appearance. He was the first of the many Arena fights that would happened today.

Rubbing his hands together, forcing friction to create heat to rid the sweat from between his fingers. A single deep breath took sanctuary in his lungs as his ears pick up on the distance sound of footsteps coming toward him. It was the announcer making his way down the long ‘Hall of Fame’ Corridor. In a matter of seconds, his battle would start. Rising from the hard concrete surface shaped like a bench, Denkou readied himself to greet the Announcer. His hands pattered quickly over his clothes, ensuring all his Ninja gear was in the correct position.

[indent]“Denkou, are you ready?”” A strong sturdy voice spoke out towards him as the man grew closer. Just with the single sentence ringing in his ears, his nerves calmed and his confidence began to rise.

“I was born ready!” Smirked the silver haired Shinobi. His tone matched his words, as did his stance. He knew on the other side of the gate stood his mission and his entire clan awaited his victory.

“Good” Replied the man, his hands revealed a small gong which he gave a mighty hit. BONG the booming noise echoed around him, signalling that the combatant was ready. The sound of cranking gears chimed and grinded out of view, resulting in the sturdy gated doors to rise in front of him. Beams of light shone though the new gap that was created. It was time.

“Lets do this!” Shouted Denkou as he rushed under the doors while they still rose. He burst forwards ready for the arena floor.

[Denkou]

Charging out headfirst, his mind set onto battle, his ears focused on the roar of the crowd and his heart set to impress his clan. With one fluid dash, the patter from his feet on the concrete surface of the halls floor, swiftly changed to the rough surface of sand. A gentle breeze swept across the arena floor, picking up small grains of sand as it drifted by his feet. The chants and cheers from the onlookers filled the young Shinobi with confidence. His hands moved down slowly towards two pockets either side of his trousers. Within each one was the confides of his primary weapon. His twin daggers. His were still basic unlike the majority of his clan. They had their own custom made once they joined the ranks of Chunin. Placing one in each hand, he gave them a little spin to entice the crowd ever more.

The crowds chants began to diminish as the gates at the other end began to rise upwards. Rising up fully revealed pitch black darkness from the opposite end of the Arena. His vision focused as he began to pace forwards toward the other chamber. No matter how much he starred in the emptiness before him, he could not see the creature. The crowd now was almost completely silent, except for the occasion cough.

“Come out then.” Frowned Denkou as he edged ever closer. Disappointment began to formulate inside his mind as he got within range to see the back end of the opposite chamber.

Just then the something moved at great speed and hurtled itself towards Denkou. The Rhino moved at blistering speeds and due to the range the Shinobi stood in, he only had milliseconds to react. With one quick jump, he hurtled his body over the beast just in time. The actions being so close that its horn nipped a piece of the Ninja’s clothing as he flipped over.

That was close. He thought as the Shinobi came landing onto his feet. His eyes clanking down at the small tear upon his right arm matched with a smaller amount of blood trickle from the wound.Too close!

[Denkou]

The charging beast that had nipped away at the skin of Denkou with its first attack struggled to stop its initial charge. Forcing all four legs to act like brakes and halt with them standing in places, the beast skidding on all fours, kicking up dust as it slowed to a stop. Taking several second for the creature to turn still, it gave ample amount of time for Denkou to assess the situation. Simple charge and stop. Lets see what else its got He thought as he began to circle around the beast, which in turn pivoted on the spot attempting to lock its sights on the young Ninja.

Coming to a stop, he awaited for the beast to set its eyes upon him, meanwhile he looked over its Armor plated hide, checking to see week points or valuable places for him to strike. At first there seemed to be little to nowhere where the beast was not covered. Yet its eyes, mouth and underbelly seemed to lack armor. It was time to devise a plan.

”Hey, you who!” Denkou called out mocking the creature, ensuring to anger it ant force it into charging again. As the beast caught sight on his taunting, it gave of a beastly roar as it set itself forwards to charge. This time he had plenty of time to prepare himself for the attack, unless it revealed something different. He waited for the Rhino to come into range before once more leaping upwards and flipping over, watching the bulking beast continue forwards into nothing before struggling to stop under its own weight and speed.

”Just as I thought.” He spoke under his breath, he understood the main methods of the Rhinos attack pattern and now all that was left was to bring it down, but it still had its thickened metal hide to deal with.

[Denkou]

Instantly Denkou moved into attack phase. His hands starting to form the correct seals that would match the technique he had in store for the Armored beast. Both hands moved in front of him as be started off with the handseals. It would take six to complete to Jutsu, and then he had to use the attack. It would take him no more four seconds for his attack to be ready and prime to use.

Meanwhile, the beast had came to a complete stop and began to rotate once more in search of its victim. It needed to complete a 180 degree spin and then charge before Denkou could land his attack. Time was on one of their sides, but which one? It shifted its head to lock its eyes on Denkou once more. Again it released a beastly cry as it set off to charge towards the Shinobi.

The last handseal was completed as the beast set forth to crush Denkou. Too late. Thought the young Genin as he was ready to unleash his own fury. His hand rose upwards with his palm towards the sky.

”Matoudai Zeusu” he called out. Instantly a brilliant electric blue bolt of electricity began to form in his hand like a Javalin. The Raiton infused Chakra spear was prime and ready, yet it was not time to use it.

The beast charged forth, its aim to crush and impale the Shinobi. As it moved with great speed, it entered into attack distance. His arm shot forwards releasing his grip from the Raiton Javelin and allowing it to glide forward toward the Rhino. The beast had little care for the attack as it charged forward heading straight into the attack.

The bolt of Lightning hit the beast directly in the face, unleashing its full potential as a burst into a small storm that engulfed the creature. As the ration energy travelled around and through the creature, its metallic armor amplified the attack, forcing further shock damage to curse through its body.

The roaring beast legs gave way from underneath it as the shock was to much for it to hand. The beast collapsed and skidding forwards along the ground, stopping just meters from Denkou. Its body twitched with pain as it came to a halt by his feet.

Unsheathing one of his daggers, Denkou spun it through his fingers several times until the blade pointed downward. His strength combined with gravity allowed him to send his blade striking downward an through the beasts eye. The blade passed through the week unprotect area before hitting its brain. It was done.

Cheers roared from the crowd as the fight was over. Denkou walked away from the lifeless corpse and heading towards the halls where he had came from.
