As the matches progressed the ninja in the comensarry grew little. There was a few deaths as the matches went on it was those matches that made the crowd go wild. Finally it was Nejis turn. He made his way to the arena and looked upon his oppanant it was a grass ninja named Armand. Neji gave his oppanant a nod and Armand returned it. They stood on opposite sides of the arena and the proctor spoke. "Neji Hyuga of the leaf village will now fight Armand Koine of the grass village." He looked to both fighters and made the signal to begin.
"Byakugan" neji shouted as his eyes activated. Armand reached his left hand into his pocket and with his free hand motined for Neji to move. The Hyuga was not a fool…he never made the first move so Armand was forced to do so. Armand threw a handful of grass from his pocket into the air…as they fell he preformed the handsighn of the tiger and spoke "ninja art grass camouflage" as the grass landed on the ground the ground absorbed it. Neji could see the grass moving under the earth since the grass needed to absorb the chakra to sink underground. The grass moved under neji and shot straight up at him. Neji had seen this coming and had simply sprung out of the way but Armand had thrown more grass and preformed the hand sighns " ox,tiger,rabbit, and dragon and then pointed his finger at the falling grass as he did the grass stopped in the air and began to glow with chakra as it shot at neji like Senbons.
"Rotation" neji declared as he had spun and encircled himself in a sphere wich protected him from the attack…but as soon as the sphere dissipated Armand was there to counter with a punch. Armand was quick but foolish. Neji had grabbed his fist with one of his hands and attempted to strike with the other before Neji could…Neji simply grabbed that hand to. Armand then smiled as he did a back flip wich introduced his feet into neji's face. Neji was hopless to this since his hands had been occupied.
Armand was now free and had taken a few steps back. Neji had done the same and checked to see if he was bleeding….he wasn't. this fight was going to be a tough one.
Armand was a person who could attack from a distance while neji was a close range fighter. Neji didn't know any jutsu and his taijutsu was usless unless he could get to armand. Neji got into his gentle fist style "he needed to draw Armand to him again.
Armand grinned as he pulled a normal oversized leaf from his pocket and unfolded it.
He then bit his thumb and wiped the blood on the leaf and it began to morph. The stem took form of a handle and the leave grew taller into a katana. Neji knew now "all his jutsu need some kind of plant…he appears to keep them in his pocket" neji then pulled a kunai from his side pouche and threw it at Armand while throwing a shurikin with the other hand.
Armand took one swing with his katana and deflected the attacks but neji was close behined them…once they were deflected Neji leapt at Armand and struck him in the face sending Armand a few steps back. Neji needed to be quick With Armand so Neji lowered his left hand and raised his right and began the eight trigrams sixty-four plams assult"
Armand could do nothing but take the hit and with the final blow sent Armand flying backwards. Armand appeared to be defeated but stood at the last seconed he preformed the sigh of the rabbit and spoke "ninja art strength resinade" neji suddently felt his right arm grow heavey as a single grass leaf weighed it down.
Neji knew this battle couldn't go on Armand was losing chakra quickly so all he had to do was keep his stamina and he could win. Neji fought the pain and avoided blacking out and soon Armand had fallen defeated…they hauled Armand off and Neji was declared the victor. He went back to the commissary Sasuke's name was called. Neji passed Sasuke and spoke "good luck"
