[Kazegetsu Matsu]

The young Samurai strolled into the arena, an air of confidence surrounded the youth. This was his first battle in an arena; his first time fighting for a prize. To be honest it felt odd to the youth, but he would not let that distract him. The youth bowed to the Shinobi before him and with the ease of years of practice planted his right hand on the tang of his sword which rested on his left hip. Patience was a virtue, and one that Matsu had an abundance of. He would let this Shinobi make the first move.

He breathed in, tightened the muscles in his arm, and then flicked his wrist, loosing the kunai at his opponent's face, it's white tail flapping in the wind. The projectiles trajectory, should the man dodge the kunai, would carry it four meters behind him. As the kunai left his had he sunk lower to the earth, squatting as he thrust his hands into the ground.

Chakra seeped from his fingers into the earth, traveling throughout the arena floor for roughly fifteen meters. With a grunt he hefted up a magnificent ball of hardened rock, fifteen meters in diameter. With nigh a warning, he threw it at the samurai, far faster and harder than his somewhat slight frame belied.

Doryou Dango!

The Masoleum Earth Dumpling interrupted his line of vision, but it did the same for his foe as well. He used the opportunity to summon a quintet of clones before he sunk below the earth, approaching his foe from beneath the ground itself...

Range: 0 - 50 meters [30]
Special: Dominion extends 10 meters in every direction of the user, and goes up 10 more with each rank learned.
Description: The basis behind the majority of Doton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very earth around them. 'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Doton.

Doryou Dango (Mausoleum Earth Dumpling)

Those affected will have their movement inhibited, suffering from reduced speeds and reaction. When re-learned, the user increases the number of clones they can make by 5; this maxes out when the user reaches 50 clones.
Description: A simple elemental clone technique, this let’s the user create a default number of five mud based clones for his command. Coming forth from an earth or mud source, the clones are basic and meant primarily for distraction and restriction.

Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'B'. Must know 'Underground Fish'.

[Kazegetsu Matsu]

Quickly and without even giving the motion a thought, Matsu drew his sword with blinding speed* knocking the kunai away, sending the piece of metal spiraling far to the left. Before the young man knew it, his opponent was gone; the Shinobi had disappeared into thin air. Fear began to creep into Matsu as he searched the area with his eyes, alas it gave him no leads; his ears however were a different story. Roughly fifteen meters from the young man’s starting position Matsu could hear the cracking of earth. Turning his head to the direction from which the sound was coming Matsu caught a brief glimpse of his opponent before his view was blocked by a giant piece of earth hurtling towards him.

“Shit!” The young samurai uttered, as he returned his sword to its sheath. With all of his strength the samurai began to bolt towards the giant clod of earth that was speeding towards him. When at about half the distance away he began running diagonally to the side of the mound, and finally leaped out of harm’s way. The samurai rolled to his feet 5 meters from his opponent and quickly drew his sword, letting loose a blast of pure chakra hurtling at the first enemy that came into his line of vision.**

[Mamushi]

Just a note... I'm 99.9% sure it would by physically impossible to dodge a lump of rock 15X15 meters by running towards it in any capacity. This is just the arena, so I'm not going to push it, but... next time just cut the damn thing, or move completely sideways. That's believable.

[/i]

His diversion worked. The samurai just barely managed to dodge his jutsu, appearing five meters away from the knot of clones, murder in his eyes. He drew his blade and unleashed a cutting blast of chakra unto which one unlucky bunshin fell prey - the rest had scattered, strafing aside the beam and rushing the samurai, five meters quickly shortened to none.

"AHHH!" They yelled, seemingly enraged. They dived at him as one cohesive unit, leaving nowhere to go but back or up.

Simultaneously-

Hiromasa, passing beneath the samurai before his jutsu came to an end, left behind a single white note below his feet before he climbed out of the ground ten meters behind his opponent. He exited the ground quietly, his doton affinity allowing him to leave it undisturbed - he was able to observe the clones rush at his leisure, and plan his next actions accordingly.

Does he dodge the clones, or fight them...

[Kazegetsu Matsu]

One clone exploded with a satisfying poof but still four remained, their attention turned towards Matsu. Matsu, caught off guard by the multiplication of his enemy, didn’t notice the two clones sneaking behind him. Then all at once they were upon him, one coming from each side simultaneously. Reacting on pure instinct Matsu swung Gekki to his left, hoping to slaughter the clone.* Following up on his swing the samurai allowed his whole body to spin, opening his palm and triggering his wristblade. Using the momentum from his spin he attempted to stab the clone that was originally behind him. Finally reaching for his belt Matsu produced a smoke grenade.

Without skipping a beat Matsu slammed the grenade into the ground, letting loose a thick smoke screen to aide in his escape. The Samurai sheathed his sword and back peddled, continuously hopping to the left till he was roughly twelve meters from the spot in which he had attacked. Warily the Samurai held onto the tang of his katana, readying himself for the shinobi’s next attack.

The samurai tried in vein to still the attack of the clones, slaying one with his blade as it drew near, -

!

"Boom." Hiromasa didn't wait. The samurai didn't move, and thus he died, the note beneath his feet exploding without warning. Hiromasa was just at the edge of the explosion, unable to withhold a wince at the wind and heat whipping against his face.

...

- then another, spelling his own doom. The Deido Bunshin burst into a constrictive mud-like substance, hardening on his skin and slowing his movements to a fraction of his prior speed... but he was already dead, the note beneath his feet bringing about the end...

Just keep at it, and pay attention to detail... mentioned and unmentioned.
