Konoha Spider

Fight 4 Yoroi Akadō vs. Gaara of the Sand

Everyone turned to look at the pair of ninja that had been chosen first there was Gaara of the Sand. To be so young and to already have a nickname meant that not only was the boy skilled and powerful, but that he was already in the Bingo Book since nicknames was where the nicknames were primarily used. To be so young and already in the Bingo Book was something that rarely happened the last two Leaf ninja that had managed to do that had been Uchiha Itachi the Uchiha Prodigy and Hatake Kakashi the Copycat Ninja. Not that any of the Gennin watching the match were likely to know this fact. The red head with the kanji for love on his brow was dressed in black with a white sash crossed over one shoulder and a leather strap held a large corked jar of some sort. He had his arms crossed as he watched his opponent enter the arena.

Akadō like the rest of Kabuto's team were a few years older than the rest of the other Chunnin hopefuls. He wore a uniform similar to Kabuto, but wore a loose mask and sunglasses as well.

As soon as Akadō had entered the ring Gaara seemed to turn into sand and appeared in a cloud of sand in front of Hayate in the ring. Several people were surprised to see this, elemental shunshin was much harder to do than any others which was why most people only used the wind version as it was the easiest to control and didn't rely as much on control. Gaara seemed to have his control down to the point that he could do it without any strain he was indeed a powerful and skilled shinobi.

Hayate nodded to the pair of ninja that were before him. "Gaara of the Desert Gennin student of Jonnin Baki of the Blade of Wind, and member of Team Sand. The rules are simple, you may use any ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu in your arsenal that you deem necessary to win. Do you have any reason not to fight against Yoroi Akadō?"

Gaara merely crossed his arms ad glared at the proctor. "Just hurry up and get it on with already." The Suna ninja growled out impatiently.

"Yoroi Akadō, Gennin student of Jonnin Shikoro Mengu, and member of Team armor. The rules are simple, you may use any ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu in your arsenal that you deem necessary to win. Do you have any reason not to fight against Gaara of the Sand?" The figure merely pushed his sunglasses up and shook his. "Very well then." Hayate said with a nod, "then as the Proctor I declare the 4th match of the Chunnin match to begin." The ninja stepped back to allow the fight to start.

The two Gennin stared at each other, everyone watched as the sand seemed to trickle out of the gourd that he wore on his back. Peter grimaced slightly as his spider sense began to buzz slightly, there was something about this guy that just always seemed to put him on the edge. The fact that every time he looked at him he flashed over another much older redheaded guy that seemed to be made completely of sand didn't help either.

"Well, go ahead hot shot make your move." Akadō ordered. "It's the only chance you're going to have to get in making an attack."

Gaara merely looked the other ninja over in a bored manner. "I was hoping to get someone that would prove a challenge, you hardly seem worth the effort though. I suppose you'll do for now though." The boy said in his rough voice. The sand that had been piling up around him rose into the air like a small wave and began moving toward the Leaf Ninja.

"Uh sensei, how the heck is he doing that?" Peter asked in shock, as he watched the wave of sand seemed to move of its own violation without anything to apparently controlling it. "I mean his arms are still crossed, that means that he's not even bothering with anything like hand signs. I thought that was kind of required to shape chakra and even more important when you use elemental chakra. Even Haku needs to do hand signs with his ice, yet this guy is doing even more impressive tricks without so much as wiggling his nose."

"It is Peter." Kakashi agreed as he intently watched the sand writhe around the boy. The Jonnin had even lifted his forehead protector so that he could study the boy and his technique with his sharingan. "There are some bloodline abilities that allow a person to manipulate certain elements. The ability to manipulate the elements without any visible actions is a nearly unheard of skill and that is usually because they are hiding their movements. Haku's ability to do hand signs with only one hand pales in comparison in regards to what Garra appears to be capable of. The ability to manipulate the elements to that level is unheard of. He must be extremely powerful to manage something like that."
