Uzumaki-Namikaze Natsuki vs. Hyuga Hinata
Both of the girls stood at the center of the arena floor waiting for the proctor to give the command to begin. Hinata seemed hesitant to take a stance at first, but eventually did so after Natsuki refused to start until she did so. It was quite obvious to everyone that Hinata was still the shy little girl that she was back in the academy. Most of the jonin wondered what Kurenai could possibly be thinking by letting her partake in the chunin exams with such little self-confidence.
Natsuki pulled her Katana from her back as Hinata took the basic Juken stance. Natsuki's caught the attention of many as it was a chakra-conducting regular sized katana with a pure white blade, the guard was a regular rectangular guard and its handle was black and orange. It seemed that all of the Uzumaki-Namikaze children favored orange, even Naruto.
"You may begin!" Shouted Genma as he jumped back.
Hinata activated her byakugan as Natsuki charged at her. Natsuki started off the match with a downward slice, but Hinata quickly jumped back to avoid being cut in half. Natsuki wasn't finished just yet. She rushed at Hinata with a barrage of slashes and stabs. Hinata narrowly dodged everyone, but lost quite a few strands of hair in the process, telling her that she barely escaped with her life. Natsuki saw that she wasn't making much progress with Kenjutsu and opted to switch to Taijutsu instead. The redhead sent a horizontal slash at Hinata which she avoided, swinging her sword to the right and quickly re-sheathed it before she kicked Hinata square in the gut sending her back a dozen feet.
The Hyuga heiress coughed a bit before getting back on her feet. This time it was her who charged Natsuki. They entered a fierce duel of taijutsu as neither one of them were willing to back down. This went on for a few minutes before it looked as if they were both tiring sent a kick towards Hinata's left side, aiming to force some distance between them but Hinata wasn't giving up just yet. The pale eyed girl caught the kick with her hand and struck it with a Juken strike with the other, forcing a few of her tenketsu closed.
Hinata's onslaught didn't stop there. She threw away Natsuki's foot and started striking tenketsu all over her body. "Two palms, four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, Hakke Sanjun Sho (Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms)!" Hinata quickly struck Natsuki thirty two different timed with her index and middle fingers, closing off thirty two of the Uzumaki-Namikaze's tenketsu. The technique closed the points on her chakra pathway preventing her from using chakra for a while and making it much harder to move.
Natsuki jumped back before she could deliver a finishing blow. It was quite obvious that she had underestimated Hinata, she wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
"You've gotten a lot better Hinata-chan. That technique is quite something...it would turn the match in your favor against almost anyone...except for people like me." Natsuki said as oppressive red chakra became visible all around her, forcing her tenketsu open again.
Natsuki couldn't keep using the Kyuubi's chakra for small things like this. Every time she used the chakra the closer the Kyuubi came to overwhelming her will and taking over her body. She might not be able to force her tenketsu open next time. Natsuki knew that she needed to keep her distance.
The redhead jumped back as the Hyuga began to charge and went through a few hand seals. "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara (Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field)!" Natsuki spit out a stream of sticky liquid that quickly spread across the arena floor, and catching Hinata in it mid-charge. The Hyuga girl tried to escape from the thick, sticky water but it was useless as the liquid began flowing up her legs until it trapped her completely from knees below.
Strugle as she might the Hyuga heiress was unable to move and inch from where she was standing. Had she been more motivated in her training, she could have escaped with a jutsu like Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation) or Jukenpo Ichigekishin (Gentle Fist Art: Body Blow). However, she knew neither of those more advanced techniques. She only knew the most basic forms of the Juken. There was no means of escape for her.
Natsuki saw that she really had no way out and began walking on the syrup-like water by channeling chakra below her feet. She stopped only a few feet away from Hinata and looked her in the eyes.
"Hinata-chan...it's over please forfeit the match." Natsuki asked, not wanting to have to deliver a finishing blow.
Hinata grit her teeth, knowing she really had no other option but she wouldn't do it. "I'm sorry Natsuki-chan...but I won't give up. All my life I was seen as a failure because I was weak and lacked self-confidence. I won't let people look at me like that anymore! Even if I can't win right here, I will not forfeit. So finish me off thats the only way you'll win!"
Her sudden attitude change surprised a lot of people watching the match, she was always Hinata the shy, weak, little girl who would never standup for herself or speak out against anyone.
Natsuki closed her eyes and sighed. She formed a few hand seals and stuck one of her arms out. "Suiro no Jutsu (Water Prison Jutsu)." The water surrounding Hinata quickly formed into an inescapable sphere of dense water, trapping her completely. Hinata slowly began to struggle to breathe for a few moments before she lost consciousness.
Genma stepped forward once again seeing as how the match just ended and washed away the leftover syrup with a small Suiton jutsu. He admired the girl's determination and would gave her what she wanted by not calling the match early. However, they were just words. If she had done the same thing in a real combat situation she would certainly be dead. It seemed that she wasn't ready to be a chunin just yet. Her jonin-sensei should have know that.
"Winner, Uzumaki-Namikaze Natsuki!" He announced.
