Osu checked his beeper for the time and went back to reading his book on applied chakra physics while sitting up in the stands. There was still a bit before the time he scheduled to use the arena. He was always a bit fascinated by the ability to change the environment of the arena a bit thanks to the wonders of the transformation hall. He smiled while peeking over the top of his book to look at the trees being installed around the outer area of the circle and the deep pond of water rising up a bit off center. They really took their work here seriously, Osu noted as he watched one shinobi walk through and making a field of grass and plants while even living stones here and there and leaving what looked remarkably like animal trails.
Some birds had also seemed rather impressed with the setting and decided to fly in, poor things. Perhaps they would be scared off before things got too serious. About ten minutes before the designated time the arena had been set up for a forested environment and Osu was down on it examining the finished work. It was very well done he thought as he shook a tree a bit and felt it was firmly rooted. They were quite lucky to have gotten the first slot for the forest setting. Maybe he would bring Kiri back when they set up the marsh setup in a few weeks. Never knew when they would be deployed on a "peace keeping" mission in a particular neighboring country.
Soon enough Osu heard a new heartbeat enter the arena. "You really have to admire their work in setting up these themed arenas," Osu announced to Kiri without looking behind him.
"So Kiri, I know you have a bit of fighting experience under your belt, but I wanted to give you a different sort of challenge today. It is quite simple really. We will be running you through some... well lets just call it survival practice. I will be throwing a few different styles of combat at you to see how well you handle them, while you simple try to survive and maybe even beat me. Any questions?"
