Test 1! Leaf Village: Miyuki, Kira, Takuya

[Chuunin Examiner]

Test Information Here

Once the papers before the young shinobi would flip over, the following images would be seen:

Outside View
Inside View

This mansion is your environment for all of these missions. Unless stated otherwise, you will begin your mission outside, and thus must work your way in. Upon each floor of the mansion are fifteen rooms, and five guards are patrolling. Getting caught results in immediate failure of the mission.

Weather: Dusk, heavy rainfall, relatively strong winds.

---

Miruki: You are to find a scroll hidden in one of the rooms on the top floor. None of the doors are locked, but guards litter the area. Get in and get out as quickly as possible.

Kira: Your target in this mission is the owner of this mansion, located on the upper floor in his room. You, thankfully, know the specific room. However, your goal is to assassinate him swiftly and silently. Don‘t get caught.

Takuya: With only a limit number of explosive supplies, you must RP logically how the mansion can be destroyed. Be aware guards patrol at all times, so not only do you have to find the building's weakspot, but you must do so undetected.

---

Remember that you are roleplaying out the process of writing. Do something along the lines of “As John sat, his pencil scratched along the paper. ‘First I would…’ ”

After each shinobi of the village has posted, you will receive your grades, and know whether or not you have passed.

Kira sat down in the exam he took out a pencil and studied the diagrams for a moment. He looked at each one intricately so that he could discern points that would allow him to get into the mansion silently without the guards noticing. Kira paused for a moment thinking on his actions and chewing his pencil for a moment started to circle the room that he was going to attack. He would then start to make a plan of his attack. He looked for a moment at his map of the outside. He decided that the most logical thing to do was to focus on entering the house first.

Noise would not be an issue shutters would be banging unless windows where battened down and the guards would probably wish to have some form of hot drink, however listening to footsteps would be difficult with the howling winds and using his chakra to alter the winds if it was possible wouldn’t be an option then there would be suspicion. He paused his train of thought for a moment and looked at the rows of desks. They where in a uniform order he would expect from military. This reminded him of his academy days. He was tempted to take his old posture his feet on the desk. But he abstained from doing so. He looked down at his paper and decided to move onto answering his question.

He started to scratch with his pencil the graphite would slowly flake off as he scratched away. He looked at his page and started to go through what he said methodically. He started to scratch his essay onto the paper. He wrote for a while and then decided to have a look at his essay and read it over in his head. His pencil was flat at the tip and his hand was a little sore but nothing he couldn’t handle. He blew the excess graphite from the page and then looked at his paper the essay read thus far.

Upon undertaking this mission my first step would be to move towards the mansion my mission states that the assassination must be swift. This will likely not give me time to scope out the guard’s routines. So I must go about this on sight and sight alone. The wind will likely disturb sound and so I must look at shadows and such. It is dusk so I have all night. As it is dusk the guards will likely have candles. If I keep myself in the shadows I can use the guards candle light against them.

Kira stopped for a moment as he started to think of his movements in the mansion he had only done one paragraph. Written tests where not his thing but he wasn’t going to give up as he never did so he started to focus on the paper for a moment. Looking at the plans of the mansion again he started to right a little more he would again write out a paragraph. He would scratch away with his pencil giving a narrative of his actions. He looked at his next paragraph this time he focused on the different words and generally looked for any flaws. The paragraph read

To enter the building I would firstly try to enter the building through the bushes. This would make Kira’s job easier as he could conceal himself in the bushes and possibly climb a tree to get to the upper windows. I would slowly move towards the bushes crawling near the windows. Then I would climb a tree to get to the second story window. If there is a tree high enough. If there is not then I will use a window to get into the building. Once entered I would then start to move through the building using the guards lights as a way to detect where they are.

Kira thought for a moment as he started to put more pen to paper the rest of his essay was just a form of description nothing would be of note he talked about how he would sneak through the house or how he would if put in no over position kill a guard in secret. The last paragraph of Kira’s essay is worth mentioning however he would pause occasionally as he scratched away with his pencil the graphite causing small amounts of powder residue to grip to his hands like limpets. He knew that he had been righting for a while now he wasn’t going to give up just yet though as he started to pen his final paragraph.

Upon reaching my targets room I would attempt to get him by surprise. I would make use of the shadows to allow me to get close to my targets room then depending if he is sleeping or if he is awake I would dispatch him how I would see fit. If he is sleeping I would either stab him through the throat as to stop screaming or remove his head completely. This would allow me to make a quick clean kill without any struggle or noise from my target. If he is alive I would sneak behind him and slit his throat in such a way that his trachea is sliced and air will no longer escape. To dispatch the body I would either leave it to the guards to find his corpse if he was sleeping. If he was awake I would hide it in a room with a lock on the other side. Then to make my escape I would jump out of a window and hopefully use the stream to give me the cover I need to escape.

Kira finally finished writing and then started to sit down in his chair waiting for the examiner to collect his paper and for him to be given his leave. He slowly watched as his comrades started to finish there exams as well. Or that was his hope anyway he wasn’t sure if his young comrades would be finished in time.

[Hyuuga Miyuki]

Miyuki heard the teacher yell the word "begin!" and began hurridly righting down on his paper. The map he was given seemed a hard one to follow, especially the outside map.

Miyuki would walk in through the dusk as stealthily as he could, and would then aim to get in the front door, though obvious. Miyuki would use Byakugan to scan the area of the inside room carefully before entering. On entering, he would not close the door behind him. He was wet and cold, and his footsteps would make watery tracks. But in the darkness they would probably be coated.

Miyuki had began thinking over what he was going to do next after telling the firsst part of the stroy; advantages and disadvantages. It was hard for him to continue, but he found a new part of the "story" that fitted in well.

Miyuki would walk to the end of the room where he found a door. Using Byakugan he scanned the next area. One guard. One standing and walking horizontally along a small path he had been instructed with. Miyuki grabbed a kunai. He then pulled out a small piece of paper he had brouht with him. Copying the exact image of the exploding tag, Miyuki would tie it to the kunai and throw it as silently as possibel through a small jar in the wall he made. The guard saw the tag and made a run for it. In his confusion Miyuki would run down the hall, and rush into the next room, and stupidly enough, without scanning it for guards.

Miyuki thought his stroy amusing, though he found it rather serious at the time. He had made up a good enough trap to get past just one lousy guard, hadn't he? He was annoyed at the thought that maybe the trick might not work in real life, but he was in no mood to doubt himself now. He continued.

Miyuki would find two guards at the long end of the huge room, who were guarding staircases. They have not noticed me, he thought. They couldn't have really anyway, it was too dark. Outside the rain was pouring down, blocking out all other sounds. Miyuki crept along the hallway, right along a path to a wall that went westwards towards the opening to the stairway where the guards were standing. Miyuki tossed a kunai at the far area, tricking the guards into thinking something as there. While they were one he rushed up the stairs as far as he could. There seemed a million of them. And up the top, two guards were walking down the stairs, towards him. Tough they did not look like they had seen him, he knew it was trouble.

Miyuki put down his pencil. His mind rushed over ideas. An idea struck his mind that was unlikely, though possible. Miyuki was annoyed. Why had he not thought of himself jumping in the window?

Miyuki found a sort of balcony above his head. Using it to conceal himself he would first jump onto the blacony and hide in the back to avoid the guards seeing him. If this was not a stealth mission his first priority would've been to throw a shuriken and kill them by stabbing him in neck, though it was a stealth mission so that was not an option. After the guards had gone Miyuki would leap down to the ground again, run up the stairs and out into the open, rather than a cramped stairway. First, Miyuki would attempt the quickest route to the the scroll, wherever it may be.
Miyuki would first scan the area for hidden gaurds. Only one. He was strolling up and down a long wall which seemed to cover many doors. This seemed the right direction. If there were other guards, Miyuki would have tried to find a way to distract them. Since there was not, Miyuki would find the silentest way he could to kill a foe in the dark; Cut his throat with a thrown kunai.
First Miyuki would get as close as possible to his target, and throw a kunai at his neck. If he missed, he would move past his position and the guard would check where it was coming from, enabling Miyuki to sneak into a door while the guard was not looking. Either way, Miyuki was getting in.

Miyuki paused for a second. All this tactical battle stelath whatever writing was giving him a headache. He slammed his head down on his desk and paused for a moment, then shot up and began writing again, realising he wasn't finished and the teacher would collect his paper soon.

When Miyuki passed the door, he scanned the area. If he was not a Hyuuga he would have to go into every room and check for the scroll. Considering he was a Hyuuga, he would simply scan the rooms along the hall for it. Bingo. First door infront of him, though a small one. The room was also small, and had two guards in it. In the room there was one window, in the convieniant place he would've hoped it to be. If there was no window, he would've had to get in their as stealthily as possible, possibly kill the guards without making a sound and get out of the room to another window. Considering there was a window, Miyuki ran into the room, only opening the door a jar. By the time they looked around Miyuki was hiding behind an object he found to be a table on its side. The guards seemed to think there was nothing there after a time. If he was caught, Miyuki would have thrown kunais at the most vital spot; heart or neck. Grabbed the scroll, and jumped out the window. Considering they didn't see him, Miyuki tossed a couple of kunai after getting up, and tried to hit them. As he was quite accurate and they were stationary, there was no need for a if/considering. Miyuki grabbed the scroll, lined the bottom of the door with Makibishi and jumped out the window.

By now Miyuki was nearly asleep. He would set down his pencil and wait impatiently for the test to finish.

[I C H I R O™]

<sup>Takuya entered the room with his two teammates for the exams determined and ready to complete this. He sighed at the fact that there were but three shinobi from his village here and an insane amount from the others. Closing his eyes and exhaling for a single moment, he heard the exam proctor shout, "Begin!" With force he did so and around him intense scribbles to the fellow Genin's papers were suddenly let loose, piercing Takuya's ears. He dropped this and looked down to the first map he was handed. The map of course wasn't easy to exam but he had to deal with this. After quickly studying the next part of the map, he instantly and quickly lifted his pencil from the desk he was sitting behind and began to scribble words of his actions onto the paper before him.

The heavy rainfall that fell from the dusk sky would have his clothing and all beneath it, the outside of the mansion as well. This would slightly be giving him an advantage, two great ones as a matter of fact. However, before he could use these to his advantages, he would have to enter the house. He stopped writing and lifted his head thinking. He was puzzled for a few moments just thinking about ways he could get this done. His mind was completely set on the mansion and the ways to get inside it. He then lifted an eyebrow and began writing once again.

Just a few feet away from the large mansion, the rain would be pounding its outside and me as well. This would be slightly helpful if this mansion was built of wood in some places, more of the outside and a little of the inside that would get wet. The rain would slowly but surely destroy the wood, swelling and very slowly expanding it, making it weaker. By this happening, the damage it would be able to endure would be a lot smaller. I'd advance toward the house while carefully examining it and checking for strong points holding the mansion together as well as keeping myself concealed from guards inside. I would need to get near one of the nearby windows and examine the inside of it first before I could get inside. Finding a lower nearby window, I would close in on it and check if it was opened. If so I would open it and stick my head in but a little looking to only my left side first and then my right.

He lifted his head once more and smirked. He wouldn’t need to worry about being spotted outside because the winds were strong enough to decrease eyesight. Something like a thick mist. He looked down to the inside map to the left of his essay and studied it just a little bit more before he shifted his eyes back down toward the essay to begin writing some more. He was no where near done and knew almost exactly how he would be able to complete this. Focusing back on entering the mansion he switched his mind back snapping to finish.

If it was clear, I’d hop through the window and close it behind me. If I was correct from my close examining of the map, I’d be just beside the mansion lobby, or mansion doors. I’d next continue down the right side of the hall….silently of course, watching for anything on the floor that would give me away. Continuing through the mansion, even though it was dusk and pretty hard to see inside here, I would stick to the shadows and move through them just incase any guards should show up. Scaling the wall until I was just outside a small rectangular room. If the guard should have a light with him, I would have seen it by now, so I continue through the shadows into the room and examine it. This wouldn’t be a place that would effect the entire mansion, or even a large portion of it. I would continue into the room directly ahead of me, and turn to my left, entering this room next, but only after I’ve checked for a light. I would turn to my right and head just to the entrance of the next room.

Takuya dropped his pencil and clenched his hand. He had gotten a hand cramp from writing so much so fast. He massaged his hand until he felt he was ready and looked back to his paper, lifting his pencil again. If he was to place a bomb here, depending on its power, it would take out this entire cube-like space, meaning the entire bottom right part of the mansion. Walls and all, leaving it able to collapse. Takuya took a deep breath and began writing again, almost tired. His head began throbbing as he yawned and thought once more.

I would pull a senbon from my weapon holster and place a mark on the ground at this...intersection. If a bomb was placed here, it would take out this entire cube-like area, meaning this entire bottom right p[art of the mansion. Walls and all, leaving the mansion able to collapse. I’d turn directly around and continue my examination of the mansion. Now in this room, it would be likely that someone was in here. It was too big to be unprotected to prevent intruders/trespassers from entering. Staying out of sight, I would launch the held senbon into the throat of the guard and rush to his body before he crashed to the ground, creating a vile amount of noise. I’d place his body to the ground myself and place a mark on the ground in the center of this room. This was another large area I could place a bomb to take out a large area of the mansion, once again depending on the power of the bomb.

Takuya was sure he was headed down the right path with this essay. He was one hundred percent sure that he would be able to take out this whole rectangular area marked in dark lining on the map, starting at this room, to the lobby which would take out another great deal of the mansion. He grabbed his head and thought for a few moments on what to write next. This test wasn’t easy, he was really stuck. He had no idea how hard a test could be until today. But now, he would have to hurry through the mansion because there was a deceased man lying on his back.

I would continue forward and enter the room, on the opposite side of the second room I had entered, safely examining it before doing so. I will once more move through the shadows and come to the second intersection of the room, placing the bomb on the floor here. It would do the exact same thing to this side as it would to the opposite side. I’ll turn diagonally to the right and continue out the room, however, just before exiting, I’ll hug the wall and peek around the edge to examine the hall. If there would be no guards here, I would exit this room I stood in and turn to my left, walking into another room. There was no one in here either. I continued forward and stopped at the entrance to another room. Walking up a little, I’ll turn to my left and head through this room, launching a senbon through the man’s neck who stood in here, his back face me. Because this was a pretty much enclosed room, no one would hear him drop to the ground.

Takuya slowed down his writing speed, seeing that he was halfway done. He had not too much to do left but it wasn’t a little bit either. He took a deep breath and slowly inhaled and held it for a moment, then exhaled. He looked back down to the map and his essay ready to continue.

I’d continue walking through this room, my footsteps being silent and step over the man’s body and stopping at the fifth compartment to my left. In here, I’d place a bomb. This was because it would take out the walls, leaving the mansion vulnerable to collapse. As said before, depending on the power of the explosives it would deal great damage here since the rain had swollen the wood on the mansion. I’d turn directly around after marking the spot, and exit, turning to my right. Continuing this way, I’d turn to my left and exit the room. Sticking to the shadows, I’d turn left once more and continue down this hall, looking for any sign of moving light. At the end of the hall, If I was correct I’d be just to the right of some stairs. I’d turn another left and head to this….corner, placing a bomb here as well to knock out these walls along with the others.

Takuya’s hands were aching at this point. He was completely tired of writing but still had a little bit more to do. He knew his silence was fine, but the two guards he had executed was going to have him quicken his pace. If he were to be discovered, things could get bad. He would have but two explosives left. This would make things difficult, depending how many points were left. He clenched his pencil and looked down to his essay once more.

Moving down the stairs, I’d move silently past the guard who’s back would be facing me and continue straight up the next flight of stairs that appeared. Like before, he would place a bomb here in this corner. I wouldn’t have to worry about placing a bomb at this middle section at the bottom of the stairs because without the front and sides of the house, it would collapse anyway. I’d turn to my right and continue toward the main entrance of the mansion. As usual, It’d be safe if I had stayed with the shadows. I did so and came to the lobby not encountering a single guard. Placing a mark here, just at the outside of the house between the stairs. This would take out a large part of the mansion leaving to surely collapse with no doubts.

Takuya sighed in relief as he finally finished the essay. Of course he would get away from the house and wait for his team to exit before setting the bombs off but he was sure and it was assured, that the mansion would collapse with a guarantee He dropped his pencil and looked up to the ceiling. Since he was done with the test he placed his head down and waited patiently for the test to end.</sup>

The Grading System

1] Grammar and Spelling: I won‘t be a grammar Nazi about this, but this does play a roll. Thus, the reason why I suggested the use of a word document. -- 1 Point
2] Description: Self explanatory I believe. Did you effectively paint the scenery in my mind, and was it easy to understand what you were doing exactly? Good description and specifics can make the difference between life and death in Roleplaying. -- 3 Points
3] Method: How did you go about doing the task? Was this a stretch, or did you leave too much room for error? -- 3 Points
4] Originality: Less important, but being unique will certainly make your posts more interesting to read. -- 1 Point
5] Rules: How well did you follow the basic rules of Rping? Did you auto-hit or godmod? Minor controlling of things like the guards walking I will let slide, but there should have been no hitting of any kind, unless your mission involved taking out a target. --- 2 points
6] Loopholes: Certain details were given and left out intentionally to see how well you can adapt and take advantage of things your opponent didn‘t say. In missions or fighting, remember to use everything to your advantage if possible. -- 2 Points

In order to pass this portion of the exam, you must score at least 8/12 points.

---

Kira

1] Grammar and Spelling: You have a bad habit of run on sentences. Be careful with that, for if there aren’t any breaks in a line, it makes the sentence a bit harder to follow. You also used the wrong form of ‘write’ a few times. It was still readable, just know that it’s something that needs to be worked on. +1
2] Description: Honestly, because of the run on sentences that you use, I had to reread portions of this to make sure I understood correctly. That, and a few key details weren’t something that you touched on, and I will describe those below. +1
3] Method: You described how you got into the mansion, yet at the same time you didn’t. Reaching a window isn’t enough to get through it- it requires opening. Depending on the method used, you could easily be detected due to too much noise. For example, despite strong winds, I’m pretty sure someone could hear the sound of shattering glass.

The actual assassination. Making use of the shadows is good to keep yourself unseen, but depending on if the door is shut or not, you’d also have to go unheard. Also, how exactly do you plan on dragging a body through the hallway without someone noticing? The additional weight would no doubt make your steps a bit heavier, and you’d be leaving a trail of blood where ever you happened to go. Not only would that make it obvious that someone was in the mansion, but the guards would be able to follow your trail. I’ll have to dock you for that. +1
4] Originality: This really lacked creativity of any kind to be honest. You went in through an obvious way, and you killed in an obvious manner. +0
5] Rules: These you did follow pretty well. No auto-hitting, because you used an ‘if’ scenario. +2
6] Loopholes: You used the wind to your advantage, but not much else. +1

6/12. Sorry, but you didn’t pass this portion of the exam.

Miyuki

1] Grammar and Spelling: This you did quite well on. There were a few errors here and there, but your grammar wasn’t horrid. +1
2] Description: A bit vague really… +1
3] Method: Though the use of the Byakugan is good, you can’t rely on your eyes for everything. Just because you can see them before they reach you doesn’t mean they won’t see you at all. And really, if someone is going down a flight of stairs as you’re going up them, the chance of them seeing you is… extremely high. You also were under the assumption that the scroll was just… out in the open. Something that requires protection surely wouldn’t just be out there for everyone to see. Though you might be able to see its location with the Byakugan, wouldn’t you expect to have to move a few objects around to pull it out safely? +1
4] Originality: You just… went in through the front door. No real attempt at being stealthy at all +0
5] Rules: You both godmodded the guards and auto-hit. I’m afraid I can’t give you any points here. +0
6] Loopholes: The darkness of the room was a good idea, but you have to consider, why would guards be walking around in pitch black? They would have some kind of light source with them. +1

4/12 Sorry, but you won’t be moving on.

Takuya

1] Grammar and Spelling: A few typos that probably could have been avoided with a quick proof-read, but that aside, good. +1
2] Description: Well written, and I had a good idea of what you were trying to pull off. I can’t help but feel you probably could have put a bit more into this though. +2
3] Method: You used the weather to your advantage, and I was pleased to see you giving the mansion a thorough inspection. The only major flaw I see was in your entrance, where if a guard happened to be in that area, you would have been busted. Still though, +2
4] Originality: Still loving the usage of the wood. Well done. +1
5] Rules: You auto-hit unfortunately, so I’ll have to dock points for that. +1
6] Loopholes: Wonderful use of the rain and the swelling of the wood. +2

9/12. Pass.

Congratulations Takuya.

[Hyuuga Miyuki]

So what does this mean? We go back home and thats it? We are expelled?

EDIT: Oh freakin crud. I suck.
