Oasis didn't hesitate either and raced along after Hatsuma, pausing to wave at the occasional strange individual getting all sorts of odd looks and the occasional returned smile and wave from those around her. Oasis was flamboyant and different and alot of people didn't know how to respond to that. After a few moments she had realized she had fallen behind Hatsuma and ran to catch up weaving through the few individuals that got in her path she raced the door and ran right through it the man already recognizing her from her earlier appearance so he didn't even try to stop her. "OI!" she shouts, "I heard who's fighting, how is Snotwen doing...?" she questions pointing at the boot-licking bird-boy sidekick who always followed him like a puppy dog. For some reason she had taken a real disliking to Kaala, she didn't need a reason she just disliked him and that was enough for her.

Yuki chuckled as Hisaki dove into the fight head first, quickly launching an onslaught of attacks from his 'Realm Techniques'. "Hisaki is a bit different from most Shinobi. He likes to be the center of attention and loves to entertain crowds." He responded to Kaala, "Although, because of these attributes, one should not underestimate his power. I know for sure that he is above me in every which way." Except Genjutsu. He hates Genjutsu. Yuki finished the rest of his sentence mentally, remembering Hisaki's outburst about the Sound Nin using Genjutsu in all of the trials so far.
After his short explanation, two Kunoichi entered the room, one was Hastuma, the four-armed girl from the second match. The other girl was the fireball Oasis. The red-head appeared to not like Notwen that much as she had called him Snotwen when she asked about him. "It seems, as of now, that they are at equal level." Yuki answered before the bird boy. Next, Notwen tried to stealth into the forest, and did a better job than the Yamanaka would ever do, and tried to launch the same attack he had used on the dog in the Second Trial. However, Hisaki's reflexes beat the hands of the Barada Yoga away with the Sword of Oblivion. "This is, by far, the most interesting match yet." He commented again, as a small smirk crawled onto his face.

Jin watched the fight for a few moments. It was the first actually combat oriented fight in a while. A smirk flickered on his lips behind his mask as he leaned in to enjoy the show. But he quickly let out a disappointed sigh as the girl that Sora had beaten and the extremely loud girl returned. With a quick motion, Jin rose out of his seat and slipped out of the room. There was no way he was going to listen to her loud mouth for much longer, even if that meant missing the fight.

Kaala turned to the door as he heard the voice of the annoying red-head kunoichi. She entered the room and pointed a finger at him, asking how "Snotwen" was doing. Kaala was going to make an argument, but thought better of it. He was not going to stoop down to Oasis' level. "My master is faring well so far. I would appreciate if you showed a bit more respect for your comrade, because he hasn't said anything ill of you." The phoenix-boy watched as the masked boy left the room. It seemed like he didn't want to be there while the red-head was there, which was understandable, but Kaala wanted to see the fight to the end. He turned his gaze back to the arena. Every so often there was a flash of red and blue, and a small burst of fire would peek out of the canopy. Suddenly Kaala saw Notwen break through the foliage and prepare a will o' wisp that then rained down on the terrain, the flames were not powerful enough to set the forest on fire and soon extinguished themselves. While this was going on, Hisaki had also climbed to the top of a tree. The two were lost to sight soon afterwards due to going back into the forest.

Yuki' smirk has faded as he watched the match progress. Hisaki was doing an excellent job, being stealthy and attacking when appropriate. Although he is over-doing his attacks, his performance is well, he might have to work on being a bit more stealthy, but I'm not one to complain about that.
The rest of the match was quite predictable Yuki thought, for it was stealth, attack, block, stealth, attack, block for most of the match. However, both of the Yamanaka's eyebrows shot up as he saw the gargantuan Genjutsu that Notwen had provoked. The Leaf Genin almost began to panic until he realized that he would also be caught in it, since it was a terrain targeting Genjutsu. What was even more surprising, was Hisaki's counterattack, which was the same Genjutsu.
"Ha!" Yuki said to no one in particular, "Hisaki does know a Genjutsu! What a hypocrite!" He smiled, knowing he now had blackmail on his friend. Genjutsu IS Hisaki's weakness. Out of all the things to help him train for, that was at the priority, and it seems I was right. Second is his stealth, albeit it is better than mine, he still needs to work on it. Now, I shouldn't be analyzing my own comrade, but who may be a future enemy. Notwen Uchiha. When I first met him, I found out he was a shinobi who had quite a few fire type jutsu, meaning his chakra has an affinity to fire. So far that has been correct. Also it seems that he would rather disable his opponent than kill, shown by his affectionate use of his Barada Yoga that the dog from the Second Trial was a victim to.
The surprised look that was on the Bishop's face had reappeared as Hisaki had pulled out his trump card, the Sword of Oblivion. He recited to the crowd what it's abilities were, and even Yuki was terrified of the blade. Imagine all of those days studying gone to waste after being hit with it! He shook his head as he placed a hand on the glass window, interested in seeing more of the pair of Genin and their abilities.

"Respect is earned through actions, and from observing what I have of this fight his methods are entirely emotion based and bound to make him a hindrance to his team..." Hatsuma chimed in looking over to the stranger who clearly knew oasis as well as the notwen fellow in the arena. the shinobi with the mask left shortly after oasis had entered, he was already suspicious with the mask thing but the fact he seemed to avoid oasis brought up his suspicion level a bit more. there was another in the room Hatsuma didn't know and likely a friend of the Hisaki person, He seemed a little more together then hisaki at least on the logical level. this person could be trouble in the future if anything went down between their countries. Hatsuma observed the fight and only shook her head at both fighters predictable tactics... though they were quite close to her original plan she never got the chance to implement it in her fight.

Oasis smirked "I would appreciate if you stopped calling him master... its so... annoying. He doesn't deserve respect from me currently anyway. He may have not said anything ill of me to you. However..." she paused and shook her head, for now she wanted to forget about his betrayal, even if it had been fake, though she doubted it was. Normally chipper and happy, she really had a hard time liking Notwen he was just an impulsive and boy. "next time you talk to him..." she looked at Kaala with steely cold eyes "Tell him to be more careful with those techniques... He could hurt himself, the amaterasu flames... They are dangerous and he could kill himself, or more importantly other people around him." she states as she snarled and turned to face the viewing window, she could see them quite well out there fighting actually. Her eyes showed her there exact position. She looked towards Hatsuma and smiled nodding lightly, that was her thoughts exactly, he was a fool and would make more and more trouble for his team, maybe even the whole village.

Yuki turned around as he heard something that wasn't filled with stupid. The Kidomaru girl from the first match made a wise point about having respect, and then threw her own opinion about emotions in. "I agree with your opinion on respect, it is earned through actions." He kept a hand on the glass, almost as if he lets go, it would fall apart, "However, we're only human, and as such, we are made to have emotions and not having them makes us nothing more than puppets. Granted someone with an abundant amount of emotion can not only be predicted, but manipulated as well, but it is something we must learn by trial and error." He turned back to the window to watch the forest, since that is the only thing he could see right now, and continued, "As a hindrance to his team? I doubt it. I worked with Notwen in the Second Exam and he was quite capable with a team. I do agree that his emotions may get the best of him, but like I said, we're only human."
The red-headed one, Oasis, said something about the Amaterasu flames as she had warned Notwen's comrade. Yuki didn't care about the trust between the Suna-nin, it was something they should take care of themselves, but using the Amaterasu Flames? "What do you mean the amaterasu flames?!" The Yamanaka's voice, usually dripping with sarcastic venom, was now showing concern for his friend. I remember hearing about that from my father, they were flames that were inextinguishable. Using that on Hisaki could be fatal to his health, maybe even limiting him from his life as a shinobi! Yuki's palm that was holding the glass was now balled up to his side as he scanned the arena with his emerald eyes. Not being able to see anything, he turned back to Oasis, "Tell me. What is going on? What is happening to Hisaki at this moment?!" Yuki was nothing but worried now, his face twisted up in an angry snarl, "Please!"

Oasis turned her now glowing blue eyes to the arena and stared into the battle field. "Well..." she states quietly as she looked back towards the one who addressed her. "He is being enveloped by black flames right now. Like, all over him except for his head." she states in a calm and serious tone of voice. She looked back to focus on the battle. "Calm down a little... I wouldn't put your friend down so quickly." she states quietly as she put a hand against the glass, she wasn't a good shinobi actually, she hated to see people hurting, and she had the urge to go down and heal him or make Notwen stop so that he couldn't make those flames keep going. She didn't know how the Amaterasu worked but she knew they were bad flames she had heard plenty about them. "He is being, held up by a strange arm made of energy it seems... its got him by the throat I think." she adds as she glanced back towards Kaala. "But... I think he is going to be okay." she adds quietly more out of her own concern.

"Those flames are dangerous, you said so yourself. How can I act calm when he is covered in them?" Yuki stated quite cool, surprising since his anger and worry began to escalate. She mentioned a weird energy holding him by his throat. "Barada Yoga, a stunning move created with some type of energy the boy can manipulate, and by stunning, I do not mean spectacular..." The Yamanaka announced. He felt horrible now, not only did he just admit that people who have an abundance of emotions are irrational thinkers, here he was worrying about his best friend. He wanted to jump out the window, heal or save him somehow. He glared at Notwen's friend, possibly his best friend, and began to think of how the blond would react to seeing him in agony.
Yuki shook his head, vengeance is not the answer. Revenge makes a bad shinobi. Powerful, but hated. He bowed lightly to Oasis, "Thank you for telling the truth, I know I shouldn't underestimate my friend, but..." The emerald eyed Yamanaka politely trailed off as he turned back to the window, gritting his teeth.

"That is something i cannot do." said Kaala in response to Oasis' request for him to stop addressing Notwen as his master. "If it were not for Master Notwen, I would not be here right now. Because of that, and other circumstances that i am not entitled to tell you about, I must act as his guardian. I know why you are questioning his loyalty, and i assure you he truly had no intention of leaving the village, though he did want to train under the purple-haired man." Kaala nodded in response to the red-head's second request. The phoenix-boy was listening to the conversation about loyalty when he began to perceive powerful feelings of pain, sadness, and anger. Overwhelmed by the emotions Kaala fell backwards, landing on the floor. His mind was shrouded by an ominous black mist. Images began bombarding Kaala's mind: A black-hilt blade, blurred faces, black flames. While this was going on, the phoenix-boy was clutching both sides of his head, feeling excruciating pain. The human disguise was beginning to falter as crimson-gold plumage began to grow from Kaala's skin to the point that he almost reverted completely to his bird form. The pain dulled, but it was enough to allow the phoenix-boy enough control to become completely human again. "I know what happened down there..." he said sitting on the window sill, now rubbing his head with one hand, "Hisaki cut my master twice with the black-hilted sword, causing him to lose the memory of his late siblings' faces. As a result my master's sharingan evolved and allowed him to use the black flames. Right now he has been stopped by the proctor, but if Hisaki chooses to continue fighting, my master will use an illusion powerful enough to erase all of his memories. This i know because of a special mental bond may master and i share." Kaala turned to Yuki, dread and regret etched upon his face. "I'm afraid that if you do not convince your friend to give up, he will not come out of this fight as the same person that went in."

Oasis let out a light snort how annoying, no matter what you owed to someone you didn't have to call them 'master' did he BELONG to Notwen or something it was so obnoxious. "I don't know if I can trust those words Kaala." She knew his name cause when they were in the book store she was able to read his lips for a moment when Notwen spoke to Kaala. "You are so loyal to him, you would lie for him, wouldn't you?" she questions as she looked back to the glass for a moment before her eyes returned to the boy who seemed to belong to Notwen. She was watching him for a bit and saw with her glowing eyes something strange about his person which revealed itself when he buckled with a strange pain from who knows what and feathers temporarily appeared. "...okay, that explains a few things." she said in a near whisper. She realized she hadn't responded to the other who was speaking to her before. "...They may be dangerous, but I have very powerful healing abilities, this is just a test I'm not going to let someone be ruined for a stupid contest or exam... Not for someones entertainment that isn't good or fair." she states as she looked at Kaala a bit longer, if Notwen was willing to use such a technique she would hate him completely and disconnect from him entirely. That kind of technique was nearly as bad as destroying the body, memories were sacred and important. What Hisaki had done was bad, but it was only two memories even if they were important. "Thats, a technique I didn't know he had..." she states quietly as she tipped her head to the side curiously, an invisible arm that could hold people in place how, well clever really. "I wouldn't lie to such an honest request." she says returning the light bow to Yuki "Maybe or maybe not Kaala... I don't know how strong my healing technique can be... Maybe... I can make it strong enough to even reverse death itself." she states in a very serious tone.

Yuki turned suddenly. If anyone in the room knew Yuki's habits, they would know, right now, that he was glaring at the boy with the look of death. His calm face appeared even calmer and more sober than before, as his lips parted to speak, pure venomous intent seeped out. "Are you that dull? Telling a shinobi to give up not only a fight, but a dream to become stronger? Most shinobi sacrifice many things to become stronger, some even their health and sanity, but pure determination will get them through any obstacles. Unlike you, I do not share a mental bond with my partner. Therefore, I cannot tell him to forget any dreams or goals he may want to accomplish in the future over something silly as a sibling's face. If your master is ready to destroy something as precious someone's entire lifestyle, then go for it. However, I will stick by Hisaki, with or without memories, with or without a body, if I have to forget what I wanted to accomplish to bring Hisaki back to health, then so be it." The Yamanaka finished his miniature cold explosion, trying to stifle any temper as to not cause a commotion in Hisaki's rental room, "I appreciate what you and Notwen share. A bond that cannot be broken, but Hisaki and I share something quite similar." He half-whispered as he returned to the window and glared at the forest.
Oasis was also arguing with the phoenix boy, about her own healing capabilities. "Oasis, I highly appreciate your concern, whether it is for Hisaki's own health, or Notwen's morals have angered you. However, I don't know how strong his wounds will be after this, and I don't want you to sacrifice too much of your time on someone you don't even know." He was really trying his best to not be too cold or too high and mighty to receive someone's help, but his mother and father's tempers run through his veins. A deadly combination of a fiery onslaught of anger and a cold, venomous slew of taunts.

Kaala recoiled at the barrage of words coming from Yuki. It was obvious that he wasn't looking at the bigger picture. The phoenix-boy sighed. "Please understand, Yuki. Although you are his friend, and your views are noble, you are not the only person that cares about Hisaki. What about his parents? Do you think they can live with themselves having a maimed son who has no recollection of who they are? How selfish can you be to think that you are the only one that matters in his life? Sometimes one has to sacrifice a dream for the best outcome. As for the mental bond my master and i share, it's not like we can communicate with thoughts. We are able to feel each others' emotions. You are comparing Hisaki's lifestyle to the memory of the faces of his little brother and sister. About three years ago, a man named Dokuro broke into Notwen's home while his mother was away on a mission. He tried to fend off the man on his own, but failed miserably, and Dokuro murdered his siblings in cold blood in front of my master. Their memory meant everything to him. Do you know how painful it would be to forget someone you loved so dearly? You are talking about my master being impulsive, but you should look at yourself first before taalking about other people."

Oasis turned from the glass and looked at Yuki and then Kaala, glowing steely eyes stared at the bird boy as he spoke. "Really... Are you quite done..." she says in a hiss "You are going to tell me, forgetting two siblings... is worse then forgetting EVERYTHING." She says as the markings on her body began to glow as well "You are disgusting. You seem to only care at all for your 'master' and his thoughts and feelings, as if two people were more important than an entire lifetime of memories. Notwen isn't the only person with precious memories KAALA." she states as she clenched her hands into tight fists. There was no chance of Hisaki remaining maimed or anything like that she would see to it that he was completely healed. "...Yuki, thats what he called you... You don't understand... I don't have to know someone, to heal them... Its not about my connection or anything, if a good person is hurt, and needs help... Then it is my duty, my creed, to help them." she states in a determined way. "I don't care how much of my time, or power, it may take." she adds as she looked over to Kaala. "I understand the value of each life, and each dream... I have dreams too, and one of them, wont let me allow people around me to be hurt like that." she states as she wondered if she would be able to return memories to someone, she was sure if she tried hard enough anything was possible.
