Battle after battle, win and loss for some. The battles had been interesting and intense and for some, completely one sided. Some ninja sustained terrible injuries, while others only came out with minor scratches and bruises. Sima intervened in some battles that he deemed fair enough while he allowed others to stretch and have them exhaust themselves. Once the final preliminary battle had finished, he stepped forward one last time to address everybody in the arena.
"Today was a glorious day for some. While others, it will forever be a nightmare. Some villages will be officially represented by the chosen genin from today for tomorrow's finals. My words of advice for the those who lost," he paused for a moment.
"Never give up on your dreams. Today's loss does not effect your skills as a ninja. Take this as a lesson to redeem yourself. Take this to your next training. Work your ass off. Hard work and dedication is what makes you a great shinobi," he encouraged all the genin who lost.
He cleared his throat, ready to announce the next instructions.
"The finals will take place tomorrow in the main arena in the middle of the village. The Raikage will match the next battles personally. Remember, you will be representing your own nation and everyone within the village will be watching, including the five great Kages. Rest up and prepare. Tomorrow is the start of some of your dreams," and with that, he disappeared, leaving the winners to chat among themselves, get treated for their injuries if necessary, and regroup with their fellow mates if they won.
the Raikage had given the list to Sima the next day for the match ups, where they were announced the next morning on a projector screen for all to see. Kyo and Aorin are first to match. They both come from the Land of Snow and as such, they put up a deadly and ruthless fight. It was life or death between them. Kyo executed some foreign family jutsus to try to deal heavy and deadly blows to Aorin, but Aorin's Swift Release had been perfected enough for him to be too fast for Kyo. Aorin struck with simple kunai knives, using his speed to an advantage. He was able to deal a massive puncture to Kyo's chest, leaving him almost dead. By the time the proctor could get medical attention for Kyo, he was pronounced dead. The Kages were impressed, however they were shocked a young genin had the capacity to kill their own teammate. The crowd had been impressed and yearned for more action. The next battles were going to be tough.

New threads will be posted up shortly and combatants will be grouped appropriately. Please stand by. In the meantime, match ups post in here among yourselves. Get at least one or two posts in each and then threads will finally open.
Dice Roller System is still the same.
Genjutsu has been modified with a duration chart. Meaning, depending on what you roll will determine how long the genjutsu lasts. Remember, I know who does and doesn't have the Kai Release for simple genjutsus, so be warned. However, this becomes a problem because that means whomever gets caught up in a genjutsu cast, cannot defend themselves. So there will be rules for this as well.
The first attack after the genjutsu is cast, becomes an auto hit. However, you cannot attack after that until the duration is over. This makes the fight fair instead of winning by simply trapping somebody in an genjutsu for an easy win. Secondly, the auto hit cannot be a finishing blow to end the match. That makes for an easy win. This is not allowed. If something like this attempted, you will be immediately disqualified. Lastly, you cannot cast two genjutsu attacks in a row. This also becomes problematic because it makes for an unfair fight and it will just become not fun and unfair. Punishment will be a penalty and/or disqualification.
The Duration Chart is below:
1-5 = 1 post
6-10 = 2 posts
11-15= 3 posts
16+ = 4 posts
If you happen to roll a small number for your Genjutsu, please describe how weak your cast was. If you roll high, then of course describe how strong it becomes.
I will still be monitoring the dice log chart. Secrets rolls will result in penalty immediately
[this included forgetting to label it. If you forget to label what you're rolling, simply don't worry about it. As long as you state what it is in your post, you'll be okay. Otherwise, you will be punished.] Re-rolling will result in either a penalty and/or disqualification. At this point, everybody is familiar with the system and there should be no problems. If you screw up your dice equation [by forgetting a number mod, then you will use what you rolled. It is your job to make sure everything is correct before you roll those die.] If you roll giving yourself an edge [i.e. adding the wrong mod, or giving yourself extra mods towards your roll, you will be immediately penalized!] If there so happens to be a problem or concern, bring it to my attention right away so it can be resolved as soon as possible. If I see the battle is becoming one-sided at a certain point, I will intervene and declare a winner right away. Try to resolve issues by yourself before coming to me if you are unsure how to deal with it.
Please stand by.
