Kirigakure Stadium is a place for people to battle each other under a super-vised environment. It's as large as a football stadium and is used for all kinds of tournaments.
The flooring, lighting, and weather change with the help of several people whose specialty-ninjutsu is actually changing these things.

Vogue quietly walked around the stadium that would house the tournament bound to start soon. She’d been thinking about this day well in advance and was rather excited to show off her skills, especially since she wasn’t exactly a well-known figure in the village.
From this tournament, she would gain public recognition and be one step closer to become the fashion guru she’d always dreamed of becoming. She knew that it wasn’t going to be easy, the tournament that is. Fashion had always been a second nature to her; one might even consider it to be a simpler form of breathing in her case. She dreamed about it and was thinking about it constantly, pinpointing the accessories that someone could’ve used on their outfit or the things they could’ve done without. Vogue was a rather inconsiderate person when it came to fashion, but that was only because she was so passionate about it.
“I wonder when this thing is going to start; my fingers are itching to strum a melancholy note on my violin. I want the whole crowd to bask in my ever-changing melodies.” Vogue rubbed her fingers over a simple scroll that fit firmly in a slot on her waist. It was the scroll that contained her violin, the instrument she often used to put people under genjutsu. She knew that this time would be no different, that her opponents in the coliseum would surely succumb to her dangerous notes.

Time ticked by and Serah knew one thing for sure, the tournament would be starting soon. Ultimately she wasn’t sure when it would begin, but she did know that the time gap was closing. ‘I kind of like the idea of fighting, especially now that I’m not some weak Genin but instead, a more thoroughly planned out chuunin.’ Serah adjusted her bulky glasses before stopping outside of the entrance.
As she stood there, she stared at a rather intriguing woman. She seemed like she knew something about scrolls, or at least had something in one. ‘A scroll? Perhaps she’s into Fuinjutsu. However, I was a bit wrong previously but she definitely is a ninja for this village because of her headband. Maybe she’s planning to enter the tournament.’ Serah shrugged and took several steps closer to the woman, deciding that the best plan of action would be to make small talk and try to figure out why she was here. “Hello. My name is Serah, and you are?”
Serah extended a hand to this new ninja hoping that she could at least be kind in return. The odds of her being hostile seemed slim, since her outfit was rather appealing to Serah’s strict senses.

Vogue’s eyes caught glimpse of rather awkwardly dressed shinobi who was bounding straight towards her. This obviously meant one of two things, one being that the shinobi was going to simply talk to her, or two the shinobi was going to walk right past her. She liked to think that was the only thing that could’ve happened and surely enough, number one was right on the spot. “Hello Serah, I am Vogue.” Vogue’s eyes wavered on this woman’s dreadful outfit for only a moment before she began speaking again and this time with a lot more annoyance in her tone, “You know, if you ever need help with planning an outfit, you could always come to me, I’m just saying. I tend to dabble here and there in the art of perfect outfits.” Vogue did a beautiful twirl in her violet kimono, revealing the intricate patterns all throughout the piece.
Once she was done showing off how much more exotic and tempting she looked than the ‘awkward piece of garbage’ in front of her, she decided to speak up again. “You look like you’re a little rough around the edges, I take it you’ll be entering the tournament? Of course I am, how else would I be able to get my name out there. People need to look at me and recognize beauty and perfection.” Vogue pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled through purses lips at her new ‘acquaintance.’

Serah’s eagerness to talk to this new woman suddenly dissipated as she listened longer to what she had to say about Serah’s fashion choices. ‘I do like her outfit, but I doubt I’ll be too into it once I get to know her more from the way she acts.’ Serah adjusted her frames and scrutinized this woman. It could be possible that her outfit didn’t correlate all too much to the way she fights, but it would be safe to say that she had no intentions of ruining her kimono on the battlefield. ‘She’s very prim and proper. That leads me to believe that goes for long-range based techniques for the sake of avoiding spills or blood stains to her beautiful outfit.’
Serah continued to stare, but was snapped back into reality whenever the woman asked if she were attempting to enter the tournament thanks to her being rough around the edges. “Gee, thanks for that compliment. To answer your question though, yes, I will be joining and in fact, I’m waiting right now. I am rather interested in seeing how you handle your opponents. Your demeanor seems to give me certain intuitions about how you play your role.” Serah smiled, forcing it as she thought about how short she was probably coming off right about now.

Vogue watched Serah with somewhat dry interest. The nerdy woman with glasses seemed to be going over something in her mind. “Oh really? I wonder what you think I do. It’s probably a little off though because I tend to make my opponents lose without having to actually get my hands dirty.” Vogue pursed her lips until they were a thin white line. She didn’t like how this woman was already sizing her up before they even stepped into the ring. Vogue even thought about how she could get away with not even having to fight her if the woman lost to somebody else.
“I suppose the tournament will be starting relatively soon. What are you hoping to showcase in it? I’m planning on giving a demonstration of my power, while still aweing everyone with my beautiful kimono. It takes someone of grace to pull off such a feat but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it.” Vogue took several steps back and performed a beautiful twirl with her kimono once more, allowing her hair to fly outwards and reach for the sky as she spun rapidly in place.
Once she stopped, she turned to Serah and giggled, as though she had done enough intimidating for one day. “Such a simple maneuver, yet so potent.”

As the time passed and Serah scrutinized more, she made the evaluation that this woman, Vogue, was much more interested in her own fashion sense the actual fighting that could take place in the tournament. ‘She’s so determined to make a fashion statement. I wonder if she realizes that could potentially be a weakness with how adamant she is about the kimono.’ Serah sighed and adjusted her frames as she stared at Vogue while she spoke.
Serah didn’t know much about Vogue other than she liked fashion and doing the tournament. “I’m joining the tournament not for anything other than to evaluate my own capabilities in a controlled environment. I don’t want to deal with other things right now.” Serah shrugged as though that was all. However, she knew with nothing so dire to protect such as Vogue and her kimono, it would be easier to cut loose and get a little crazy in a fight.
The spinning of the kimono was to be honest, a little interesting, but more so, it was very annoying. Serah had already seen it done before and she wasn’t all too impressed the first time, but for the sake of being kind, she nodded approvingly. “Yes, that’s quite nice. So have you talked to a woman named Sita by chance? She’s supposed to be making her way for the tournament as well. Maybe you’ll end up fighting her.”

Yup, Serah’s reason for joining the tournament was so trivial in Vogue’s eyes. Why would anyone want to join anything they could potentially die in just so they can ‘evaluate whatever’ or something like that. Vogue already forgot Serah’s reason the moment she said it. “Well, I hope that works out for you I guess. It probably won’t though considering you don’t know who I am and what I have in store for you, but hey, you could try.”
Vogue realized what she said was relatively rude and inconsiderate so she quickly tried to diffuse it with a shrill laugh that she often used. However, the laugh came off a bit high-pitched and evil so it never really worked.
“Sita huh? Nope, I can’t say that I’ve fought someone like that before. With that being said, I can’t say I even met her or him either. I’m sure I’ll be meeting them soon enough if they’re joining the tournament.” Vogue cocked her face into a cheeky grin, thinking about what problems this Sita would have with her outfit as well. “Alright then, so tell me, are these the kinds of outfits you normally wear? I mean, ex-squeeze me for being so bold, but it’s just, not up to par with the upper-class society.” Sita grinned maliciously at Serah as though her outfit symbolized the strength Serah possessed.

Okay, so there were a couple things Vogue seemed to be good at outside of battle, the obvious one being her fashion sense. Serah had already complimented her wardrobe choice for the day so there was no point in reiterating her awe, but the other thing that Vogue was good at was making Serah highly annoyed and saddened. She was annoyed because Vogue couldn’t get off the subject of fashion, and saddened because Vogue seemed to hate her style of dressing. There was nothing wrong with wanting to wear simple outfits was there? Sure, Serah wore a plain white shirt under her jacket, but there was no way she was going to reveal her cleavage, she couldn’t pull that off without having a red face all day from embarrassment.
“No, I don’t always wear this. On the contrary I wear nothing whenever I shower and I wear pajamas when I go to sleep. I wear this to keep it simple and it feels good on me.” Serah suddenly felt dumb, almost as though she had stooped to the level of someone who was trying to bring her down. “However, let’s talk about something else,” Serah adjusted her glasses as she spoke, “I can see that you have an affinity towards fashion, but I’m afraid I’m not at your level. Perhaps we could discuss something a bit broader.” Serah honestly didn’t know what intrigued this woman besides fashion. It would be interesting to see more of a personality come out of this woman, but asking for that seemed a bit too much.

So it seemed like Serah didn’t have much of a wardrobe. Could Vogue say she was surprised; no not really. Vogue saw this coming since Serah didn’t have the wardrobe appeal that many other people had. To be honest, Serah probably couldn’t pull off any outfit slapped on her because of her pale skin and awkward form in Vogue’s eyes. It was almost laughable, but to show the slightest hint of good sportsmanship Vogue decided to keep her mouth shut.
“Well okay then. I don’t know what you would want to talk about besides fashion since it’s the only thing that keeps people interested in the progress of clothing. I mean, if we didn’t have fashion, we still would be wearing little loin clothes to cover our private areas and there would be no such thing as wool, cashmere, silk, or even cotton!” Vogue shook off such terrible thoughts and decided to press forward, not looking back as she fled from her favorite subject which was fashion. “Tell me about yourself. I’m always up for a good story, and keep it interesting. I’m a chuunin, I can handle the gory stuff. Tell me how you ended up deciding to be a shinobi and all that kind of stuff.” Vogue smiled, revealing her set of straight white teeth as she tried to appear the least bit threatening.

Serah smiled faintly, pushing her glasses back into place as she did so. “My past is something I like to keep to myself because it doesn’t reflect on me. It was more of my mother making bad mistakes and I would have to suffer for them.” Serah didn’t want to say anything about being a Nara since that could potentially be a mistake. “So yeah, I suppose I might be at a loss of words for that one. I do in fact originate from Konohagakure, or at least that’s what I want to believe. I was born here, but most of my family is back in Konoha.”
Serah adjusted her glasses and thought about what she said, making sure she was careful not to leave any implications out there that would lead Vogue into believing that she was a Nara. “So, what about you? I suppose you have an interesting background since you seem so avid when it comes to fashion, I’d find myself enjoying an interesting life such as though.” Serah smiled warmly and thought to herself, ‘Slip up, if you want to do that to me, it’s time for you to have a test of your own medicine.’ Serah believed that Vogue had actually asked for her life in the hopes that Serah would say something that revealed who she was as a ninja.

The look on Serah’s face whenever she was asked for her story was rather amusing to Vogue. It looked almost as though that were the last thing Serah was hoping for and the vague story Vogue received read it all.
Apparently, this Serah woman didn’t want to dish out more than she needed to. That was alright with Vogue, it would give her less of a reason to act enthralled and interested in whatever Serah had to say. “You want to hear my story? Oh stop it you! Flattery won’t make it any easier for you in the tournament. I came to win and self-promote after all.” Vogue looked up into the misty sky, thinking about where she should begin. “I grew up in Kirigakure all my life, of course, from the time I was little I knew several things about fashion and I built my vocabulary around name-brands and my first word was even ‘vintage.’ I do like to pride myself on the more cleanly things in life. You’ll never catch me rocking cheap brands. Although, I must say, my life is rather uneventful, up until becoming a ninja that is. I possess the Sakkakugan, it’s a useful doujutsu that allows me to influence others with powerful Genjutsu. However, since I told you that, I expect you to tell me something in return.” Vogue smiled at Serah, thinking about what Serah might use to her advantage in the tournament.

Serah shrugged as she listened to this woman’s shallow story. It was a little bit surprising that she was in possession of a Doujutsu. The very thought of having to fight powerful Genjutsu made Serah shudder a little, but of course she didn’t expect to have to worry about it right now. “I would love to tell you more about myself, but I’m afraid that’s a little impossible at the moment. You’ll find out more once the tournament begins though.” Serah turned around and walked off towards her home in the hopes that she could get away from this crazy fashionista before she did something that she would regret.
