Jeishi's Fight at Konoha Battle Arena



As the time slot you booked, or happened to be lucky enough to walk in during an open one, opens you walk through the archway and new corridor which is mostly empty, save for the plaque commemorating the Student who was killed in a reckless spar some years ago, although the plan is well known that when tournaments are hosted the winner's photo will be in the corridor. You them emerge in the massive oval shaped arena, the ground covered with foliage of the tree and bush variety, in addition to short grass and dry dirt. Towering above it is a twenty foot wall with ramparts where the Medical and Enforcer staff wait to jump in when the battle is deemed over, before anyone could be stupid enough to deliver a killing blow, and in time to provide urgent medical treatment.


At the back of the Ramparts is a lot of space, left for temporary tiered seating to be built in the case of tournaments so that there might be entertainment for the crowd in Konoha, and any visiting Feudal Lords. Being on the outskirts of Konoha, the walls of the Gates are in sight of here, although little else surrounds it as it used to be a woodland before it was cut down to build the massive arena.



Little Hirosue kept on standing up from her seat beside Shinto.
The idea was to watch Oni-san fight here, all right.
How can I watch anything if all the people are blocking my view!

Little Suweh grumbled with a pout as she sat back down.
So many people and so much noise.
How am I going to hear anything in here!

Little Hirosue fiddled with her new friend's little pink ribbon.
Saya, the little teddy bear smiled back with her button eyes.
She poked her little round hands and made her dance in her lap.

Little Suweh tried not to think about missing the genin exam.
She made a little friendly smile at Shinto but really felt bad inside.
Im not going to cry again. I'm all right. Am I?
