The Arena (Look here to know where you're fighting)

The Arena

(Exterior of Arena)

As you walk towards the Arena, you can already hear the hundreds, if not thousands, of cheering voices in the immense structure. This year, the exams have been selected to take place in the Fire Country, in a secluded, but rather famous arena built long ago. The fighting area is separated from the stands which rest high above the immense domed walls, but any ninja worth their salt would be able to get up and down the walls with some effort..

Walking into the arena, the high walls dwarf everything around you, even the trees, but you can practically see every person in the stands with how the arena is set up. Above the arena, a large canvas of metal arms hold aloft 3 large projection screens which enlarge the fights below so that the spectators can more easily see the action, if they are too far away. the field is rather large, About 100 yards across and 75 yards wide, in an elliptical shape. The area everyone walks on to initially are the grassy plains, but there is a large river of water about 4 feet deep running through the center of the field, a desert like patch of sand halfway through, small clusters fo trees/forestry on both sides of the river, and a lava pit on the far side, which fire users can use to assist their jutsu. (See post below for the full description/explanation)

-- Arena Description --

From a birds eye view, the inside of the stadium is an ellipse spanning 100 yards long and 75 yards wide. As shown above, almost every element is represented somewhere on the field, giving everyone an equal advantage within the arena. the walls of the arena are incredibly solid and can any amount of punishment, even from the highest level jutsu. Here's a bit more of a description:

Lava Pool : It is what it sounds like... a pool of lava kept in place by a stone rim. The lava boils and bubbles constantly as it is continuously heated from below. This area is preferred most by Fire users, who are able to draw much more fire to their techniques then usual due to their proximity to such a high heat source. (Fire Jutsu - +50% strength)

River : The 'River' as it is referred to is actually more like a spring then anything else. It is 4 feet deep at all points, but it's surface is completely level with the grass fields. When water is removed from the river, more water from an underground spring quickly replenishes it. (Water Jutsu - +50% strength - Lightning Jutsu +50% effectiveness [when target is wet])

Forests : A crude name for the small groupings of trees, but it does bear some resemblance to a small section of forest, complete with underbrush and gnarled trees. the large trees are large enough to stand on and have far reaching branches the connect and wind around the other trees. This is a good place to find cover from attacks or to set up traps. (Note: The trees are fireproof... because I say so.)

Dunes : It seems strange, but there is an area of Sand on the field, called the "dunes" even though the sand does not go high into the air. In fact, it's more like a loose sand beach then anything else, however, once you step on the surface, you immediately feel the intense heat associated with a sand climate. (Wind Jutsu and Earth Jutsu +50% strength)
