"Guess that just leaves me." Amari cracked her knuckles. She waited for her name to be called and jumped into the ring.
She walked to the center and waited for the one she still has to face. "Marion Albecket." The name called wasn't one she was prepared for. A man jumped down on the balcony, he was the most basic from the entire crowd. His hair was short brown and was a little lifted up from the headband. He was from the leaf village, he wore a black shirt and white shorts.
"I'm glad I got some basic thing." Amari took a stance.
"I don't need to be flashy to prove my skills." he spat. "Fire style, fire wall jutsu!" He brought up his hand to his mouth and blew. A line of fire blocked out the two.
She reached for her back and grabbed at the air. She swore to herself.
"Oh shit." Sean whispered to himself. "Amari I forgot to give this back!" She looked up at the stands and reached out for the set of swords that flew at her.
She grabbed all four swords and swiveled back to the fire. She tossed all four of the blades at the fire wall. She heard a grunt, she knew at least one of her swords landed on him. But how serious was it is what she strived to figure out. She took a few steps back and charged at the fire. She thrusted her hand at the ground and propelled herself into the air. She vaulted over the wall landed on the other side. She looked up, she didn't see him.
"Fire style, fireball jutsu!"
She looked above her and barely saw the attack. She rolled from the attack, she barely was able to dodge the onslaught of fireballs. She waited for him to land. "Shoulder charge!" Her foot dug into the ground. She charged at him in a unprecedented speed. She stopped right before him. "Gentle fist!" She backhanded his chest and shoved him into the fire. She pounded him into a small crater in the fire. She got on her hands and dropped her legs down on the paralyzed man. The small hole went deeper into the ground. She grabbed the collar from the man and pulled him off the ground. He was in a daze, blood was on his chin, his arms hung helplessly. Her other hand grabbed his throat, and moved her other hand to his throat. She lifted him off his feet.
"Ice style, frostburn." he softly blew in Amari's eyes. The frost in her eyes froze over.
Armari screamed and swung him down into the ground. She scratched at her eyes. Her fingers froze on the eyes. The ice slowly ran over his fingers and covered her hands. Marion stood up, he wasn't balanced and stumbled but he stood in a crater almost deep as he is tall. He stepped out of the hole.
"Water style, water torpedo jutsu!" a tornado of water splashed on Amari and blasted her to the wall. "Zero degree!" The water from his mouth froze over and froze Amari to the wall.
"She didn't take her shot." Sean groaned.
"Of course she didn't, she doesn't in that if she doesn't feel her opponent is strong." Miri leaned on the rail and supported her head with her hands. "Kind've hot."
"God something is wrong with you." He opened another strap of his and pulled out a small needle. Marion held his arm in front of him and down at the ground. A ball of fire covered his hand. He ran at the pinned Amari. He uppercutted Amari's chin. "Spread!" The fire moved from his hand and moved all over the ice.
The ice instantly melted on Amari, the water boiled on her skin. She tried to shake off the water but the burn already settled in. Morian intensified the heat on her skin. She fell to her knees and screamed. Her arms felt stiff as she tried to move out her arms. She reached in her top and pulled out a small needle.
"I can send mine." Sean stated.
Miri grabbed Sean's arm and pulled it down. "Don't this is her fight, if she doesn't want to use the gift she doesn't have to."
Morian walked up to Amari and opened up her mouth. Two of his fingers grew a small fireball, he brought the ball of fire to Amari's mouth. She could feel the fire brush against her lips. Amari's hand wrapped around the arm that slowly moved toward her. He snapped back his wrist and pushed him back. She got up to her feet, she poked at different points on Morian's body.
"Why can't I move?" Morian stuttered.
"I wasn't born in the clan of this moveset but I still learned what they knew." Amari walked up to Morian.
She held her hand straight, she pressed it on Morian's chest and then curled it into a fist. She thrusted forward a small one inch punch into his chest. The man's chest caved in, his arms and legs went forward as his midsection went back. He was hurled to the back wall. He crashed into the wall and created a man size crevice in which he rested.
Amari cracked her neck, I'm tired of letting you continue in this fight. The faster it ends, the faster I can progress."
Amari reached in her hair and pulled out the needle fill with the blue liquid. She stabbed it in her neck. Her eye started to twitch as the veins in her arms started to pop out. She focused her chakra, she went through handsigns before she dug her hand into the ground below her.
"Rock style, boulder strike!" A layer of the ground around her molded around her fist. She dug her toes in the ground before she charged at him. Her fist remained into the ground and collected small pieces of rubble as she ran. Morian was barely conscious, his head was in a daze, and most of his energy was put to stop his eyes going behind his head. He couldn't do anything by the time Amari was right in front of him. He saw everything in slow motion from when her arm went up from the ground to into his chest. He could see his skin ripple and the wall behind him shatter layers and layers.
All the layers of rock around her arm fell off. "It's over." Amari huffed.
Sean turn joyous for his friend. "I guess she just used it to end her opponent instead of turning the tides."
"She was always the strongest of us from sheer strength, she doesn't even need this tool if she can overpower her opponent from just taijutsu."
"A fist can only go so far against, essentially magic really." He leaned on the railing. "Don't forget my swords!"
Amari mumbled to herself as she walked to the grounded weapons. She grabbed each of the blades and placed them in their respective spots in the holster.
That was the last time we saw any of them for a long time. Well at least freely, I'm not going to lie if I say we saw them walk by a few times on our journeys but we were never allowed to encounter them. The mark made sure of it.
