A tall lanky ninja entered the arena. His skin was covered in rope like scars and spiky metal plates that stuck out of his body shined in the cool mountain air. Upon his back was a large bamboo brush that was the length of a staff. At his waist, there hung the hilt of a sword. Upon his shoulder, there hung a large barrel.
Forza took a deep breath and set the barrel down on the ground and unhooked the chains that hung around his waist, letting the hooked chains dangle at the ground. He gazed at the arena stands and spotted some of his former students, he tried not to let the onlookers distract him. "Keep your head in the game Forza." he muttered softly to himself. He then waited with a ominous silence for his opponent to arrive.

A shorter, thinner Shinobi strolled silently into the arena. He didn't seem to be wearing anything special. He was decked out in a black t-shirt that was worn underneath his Chunnin-issue flak jacket. He also had on a pair of black short that were a little loose, but not enough so that they would get in the way of his movements. Other than that, nothing much seemed to be out of the ordinary. He wasn't wielding any additional weapons, just his weapons pouch and his shuriken holster.
As he continued to move to his place across from Forza, a light ringing sound started to follow Shuji as he walked. In his left hand there dangled two bells, and as he moved, they continued to ring. Finally reaching his place across from Forza, he smiled and bowed slightly. He didn't seem concerned about the match, but he also didn't seem to give off any signs of feeling cocky. He was just there, and he seemed to be happy.
"I believe this is the first time we've ever met in battle, Forza. I guess this means we'll be showing each other a load of new things. I'm ready when you are," he said as his right hand slid into one of the pockets on his shorts.

Forza gave Shuji a slight bow of his head in respect. He was looking forward to facing a fellow earth-user. There was much Forza wished to discuss with Shuji, but that would have to wait. “Shuji… we finally meet face to face,” Forza muttered under his breath in a solemn tone.
Forza grasped the strange, bladeless hilt and held it out before his face. “I would like you to meet the Eizen Hilt. Today shall be its debut,” Forza announced to not only his opponent, but to the audience as well. With a long sigh, Forza closed his eyes. When they opened, Forza’s previous expression of excitement was replaced by a cold, heartless stare. The air around Forza became stale and cold, the ground at his feet grew dry and began to crack. A mysterious aura surrounded Forza, sending a shiver down the spine of all the onlookers.
…Satsuki…

Shuji's hand continued to sit in his pocket, the bells still in the other as he watched Forza draw his blade. His face continued to hold a calm and collected expression even as Forza's "aura" started to emanate. Looking at the bells for a moment, he smiled, knowing that it would be time for him to show off a bunch of his new sound jutsu. He just hoped that Forza could keep up. Sound was very fast after all.
"Start when you're ready," Shuji said calmly, his eyes never leave Forza for a second. He wasn't concerned with the audience. Nothing was going to keep him off track.

"No haunting me if you die..."
earth rose around the sword-less hilt, rocks fused together with dirt and sand to form solid mass where the blade should be... The mass, although solid as rock, seemed fluid and almost alive...With a snap of his wrist, the mass took immediate form, shaping itself like a thin gray snake. With a sharp swing, the serpent blade stretched and began to encircle Shuji, as if to constrict him in its stony grasp.

Shuji watched as the snake moved, a smile forming across his lips. His hands quickly rose, forming the ram seal. His eyes never left Forza as the young chunnin suddenly vanished from sight, a cloud of dust covering his tracks. The bells didn't even ring as Shuji used the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique). As quickly as he was gone, Shuji suddenly reappeared behind Forza, the bells the only thing that would give him away.
Shuji had been practicing with sound, and had found that it could be used to do a number of things, including messing with the natural balance of one's body. By using frequencies lower that that of human hearing, he could cause dizziness and nausea. However, he also found that he could manipulate the vibrations made by sound, and thus had created a few taijutsu moves to mimic that idea.
As he reappeared behind Forza, he quickly sent a punch low, aiming for his lower back muscles. The hand he was using held the bells, causing them to ring as the attack came forward. As his hand propelled, he focused chakra into his fist, and into the bells. This would allow him to use the sound waves that came from the bells to do a number of things. He could amplify the vibrations, wreaking havoc inside of Forza's body, or he could cause the sound waves to become infrasonic, causing various effects depending on the frequency they were adjusted too. At roughly 43 hz, Shuji could cause Forza to experience lack of visual acuity, distortion of spatial orientation, poor muscular coordination, loss of equilibrium, slurred speech, blackouts, and a 77% decrease in IQ scores. However, this particular punch was suing sound waves that ran at roughly 65 hz. This would cause Froza to experience irritation, "mild nausea, giddiness, skin flushing, and body tingling," as well as vertigo, anxiety, extreme fatigue, throat pressure, and respiratory dysfunction.

As Shuji's attack hit Forza's lower back, his hand seemed to be sucked into Forza's body. As this happened, an eerie chuckling was heard coming from Forza's barrel. Forza's real body rose out of the barrel, and in a deep, booming voice Forza let out an ominous "It's Showtime". Forza's paint clone burst like a water-ballon, covering Shuji in paint. Forza lifted his hand, as the Eizen-Hilt spun from the bursting clone and landed in his hand. "You will find that paint to be quite interesting, It was designed to form restricting seals on contact."

Shuji smiled, nodding as he looked at Forza. It had been a good plan, and Shuji had known that he should have gotten rid of that barrel. Shrugging, Shuji reached into his weapons pouch and pulled out a bottle of water. He had planned to save the bottle and take a drink when he felt thirsty, but now it seemed that he was in need of a shower. Taking the lid off, Shuji jumped back from his opponent and dumped the water on himself, quickly wiping away as much of the paint as he could.
"Very nice," Shuji said, sounding excited. As he stood there dripping, his hands came together quickly, the knuckles cracking as he stretched his hands out toward Forza. "Now that we've each shown off a trick, how about we start this?" Shuji wasn't concerned about these seals, mostly because he couldn't imagine them being able to activate that quickly, especially without chakra constantly being poured into them. With another smile, Shuji let his arms rest at his side as he prepared for the next move.

"Well played... but water wont stop my paint... Its made with my own blood and pigment." Forza let out a sigh of relief... he needed those seals to keep up with Shuji's speed... unfortunately the seals will only have about a thirty minute lifespan, so he would have to work fast.
"Bubun Baika no Jutsu" Forza muttered as his arm began to grow. Without moving from his spot, a giant punch was launched at Shuji.

As the punch came near him, Shuji merely stepped to the side, letting the attack sail by harmlessly. He wasn't sure how these seals would work, so he was just going to have to give it everything he had if he planned to win this match. Forza was an opponent that he wasn't familiar with, and that made everything that much more exciting. With a smile, Shuji brought his hands together, forming various seals. As he focused his chakra, he found that it was a little harder to draw. His smile widened as he figured out was Forza's game was. Fortunately for him, he had an array of jutsu that didn't take up much chakra. He just needed to make do with what he had, and save anything big for a last ditch effort.
"Tsuchi Hashira-no-jutsu (Earth Pillar Jutsu)," Shuji said softly, still making hand seals. It took a great deal of effort to draw up the chakra needed to produce the jutsu, but Shuji could deal. He didn't need anything extravagant. There was no warning as a pillar of earth suddenly rose from the ground, the top aiming for Forza's now outstretched arm at a forty degree angle. Unless Forza could move his now over-sized arm quickly, he was about to have it broken by the pillar that was moving quickly out toward the audience. With a smile, Shuji watched as the jutsu worked, but knew that he'd need to rely on taijutsu for a while if he hoped to make any headway. These seals would wear off soon enough, and when they did, everything was going to become quite interesting.

(You have a good understanding of the seals, but keep in mind the movement restraint... think of each seal weighing 50 pounds, and I would say you have about 5 on you)
As the pillar soared towards Forza's arm, he snaped it up to catch the flying projectile. He slamed it in the ground in front of him, and as his arm began to shrink back to normal, he leaped ontop of the pillar and formed the snake hand seal. Doton: Shuriken Dagekisatsu (Earth Style: Shuriken Murder Strike) As he slammed his hand into the pillar, it seperated into several thin discs, each began spining at violent speed and in a few seconds, they were swarming the arena. "Try dodging these"
