Smoky-sensei lights a match and beings to smoke his freshly packed Kiseru. Ramos sits next to him on one of the three posts of the training grounds. Smoky motions towards Akira and then points to Mio while taking a drag. Ramos realizes the match up he makes and claps in agreement. "Yes! Let us watch the number one pupils face off to start it!" she says excitingly. Akira gives a sigh of annoyance and walks towards the center of the field. Mio smiles happily as Seijitora wishes her luck. She only grins big and puts her thumb up. Smokey tells them to start at the end of the wind blowing. Both nod accordingly, and await the signal to start.

The tension holds high as Indigo, Seijitora, and Kuriame all sit seiza, shoulder to shoulder, on edge at the combat to come. The wind stops and Akira makes the first move by throwing a kunai at Mio. She back flips throwing a needle at the kunai. She forms a seal, "Water release, Hidden Mist No Jutsu" Mio whispers. A thick fog overtakes the training grounds a female scream is heard. Ramos-sensei creates a seal and puts the already ill tempered Seijitora to sleep.

"Sorry, but no shmuck. It's simple to have a kunai follow the shadow of another. Aren't you better than this?" Akira taunts towards the thick mist. Feeling a chill from behind, he starts forming seals and drops to the ground. A block of ice shaped as Mio cracks and crumbles to the ground. Akira uses his earth style mastery to find where Mio was hiding. "Alright, well I found the sensei's, the one mist boy, and my squad….Now where is…." Just then he feels the dirt around him freeze. Trapped in a block of frozen direct, he is lifted from the ground by Mio, who simply smiles at him. He hears a whisper through the ice, "be good and give up now." His eyes feel sheer terror for a second. He forcibly breaks his middle toes, excluding his big and pinky toe to maintain his balance, and breaks the fear with pain.

Mio notices a temperature difference and drops the cube of ice. The center glows bright orange as it shatters hitting the ground. Akira, covered in flames, shows off his chakra nature of fire. His eyes angry, he seeks Mio with absolute intent to end the fight right then and there. All of a sudden, a thick icicle passes his neck and implants into the ground. Realizing his possible death he begins to anticipate the next icicle coming to find more ice needles flying at him almost corning him back to the initial icicle. Realizing the game she is playing he starts using seals, "Earth Release, Boulder Bunker" What looks almost like a hollow boulder flies over the crouching Akira.

"Think damnit! THINK! The damn witch is of the Mist ninja, she is at an absolute advantage having created that fog. But the biggest thing is I didn't notice when she had used Kawarimi no Jutsu with what I think was an ice clone…..I didn't know they made those….Unless she has a Kekkei Genkai….damnit! I don't have time for this. I'll have to use Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique on her….Now I just need to get some kind of scent off of her….maybe if I get a needle….that'll have to do! I'll send an earth Clone from the ground and capture the needle and summon the dogs to track the scent!"

Akira follows his plan as the clone emerges from the ground right next to the initial icicle. The clone searches for a needle on the ground when he reaches out towards one slowly as seven more icicles perfectly circle around his head; trapping him to the ground. He struggles to break free as he see's Mio slowly walk up, "I told you, just give up. Now I get to take you apart, and sew you back up." She grins sadistically, "But I would never kill you. I only want to practice understanding the human body. I do have a weakness for Medical ninjutsu, and you deserve a little payback of the dirty look you gave my squad. Hope you're ready." The clone looks terrified as five minutes pass and partial pain is transferred to Akira. He keeps his sounds of agony silent until she is done. As she walks away she hears, "Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique! You're finished you crazy BITCH!" Akira screams. What look as much as a dozen dogs approach her from the ground, and pin her still.

Akira emerges slowly from the ground, ready to return the payback for the torturous pain that she inflicted on him. "Now it's your turn." He quietly says to himself. She struggles vigorously trying to break free, terrified of the burns about to reach her, with no hope Akira slashes her face with a Kunai with a horizontal slash and follows up to scar the entire left side of her body with a vertical slash starting with her left shoulder. His eyes still looking unsatisfied with the blood coughing Mio, "Since you're an ice user, it's easy for me to counter you with this, DIE BLOODY MIST NINJA!" He gathers his chakra and creates five seals,

"Fire Release, Grand Hell Inferno" Flames begin to burst off of him, circling around him, until finally they explode with a radius of 15 yards. Akira's face is dumbfounded as he releases what he was trapped in the entire time. A large sphere of ice had been enveloped around him from the begging. The ice shatters around him and Mio nowhere to be found, he assumes that he might've accidentally killed her. He looks at the two Jounin and scratches head in apology. "I may have gone a bit overboard…" he says.

While scratching his head; Mio slowly and silently emerges from a piece of the shattered ice. Both Jounin begin to laugh absurdly as Nuibari is seen around his neck, and he notices the kunai in his stomach. Akira's face pales in disbelief. Mio drops Nuibari and puts the kunai away. Mio walks slowly towards Seijitora to wake him up. Akira shivers by the still constant chill in his spine as he looks in the direction of Mio. Kuriame and Indigo are puzzled by what had actually happened within the foggy ice sphere. Mio kneels down and seiza and puts Seijitora's head on her lap. The string to Nuibari is pulled and the blade cuts Akira's left cheek. The sword plants itself beside Mio as she lets Seijitora sleep on her lap. She looks straight at him and says, "I forfeit."

Akira falls on his ass, in total shock of what had actually happened. Ramos-sensei, looking very pleased with Mio, is still laughing at the outcome. Smoky is looking very concerning at the display of Jutsu. You can tell he is troubled with the display of silent killing still prominent within the Mist village, "….what's more that the Yuki clan hadn't actually died out yet. They really are a terrifying clan, with a Kekkai Genkai that even I would have trouble with if I fell into their trap….now what do they want with the Hokage….?" He thinks to himself. Ramos screams at Seijitora to wake up. He looks confused, "Am I….going to actually fight….or am I gonna run around…..?"

"No, you're going to fight. No matter what happened, we still lost the first match by forfeit, even though we kinda know who won…..REGRETFUL AS THAT MAY BE! GET THAT POTATO BUTT IN THE RING!" she barks back. She forms a release seal and sticks her hard out all fingers pointed at Seijitora. Water begins to shoot out and pierce the chains. The water pierces at five points around his heart and the chains fall. Seijitora stretches his arms and walks to the center smiling with slight malice.

Mio worriedly warns him to be careful and he winks in response. She gives a reassuring smile, but still showed a little worried. Out of the leaf Shinobi Kuriame, ready for revenge, stands up with her fist in the air and the burning rage for rivalry can be seen in her eyes. "AND NOW ITS MY….." she screams before being interrupted with a massive cloud of smoke in her eyes. Smoky points at Indigo, "You need to fight this one. Let's be smart about this. Kuriame would be crushed by his powers." Ramos surprised and worriedly looks at Smoky. Indigo firmly nods understandably at how serious Smoky ordered her to fight. She stands and brushes off her pants.

She walks to the center and already begins to analyze her opponent. "This guy must have some sort of jutsu he can't control, that's why he was in the chains. I'm going to have to make the first move and press my advantage to keep ahead of him. Would it be smart to start with Twin Lion? Or use the 64 palm strike and prepare rotation the protection half of the 64 palms…..either way, I should be able to win this if I stay ahead of him." The concentration from Indigo's train of thought only seems as though a taught to Seijitora as Ramos-sensei shouts, "BEGIN!"
