[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.

---

Kaisai: A scroll is hidden within the upper floor of the mansion, however, you are not the only one interested in getting it. Find it before your opponent does. As always, don’t get caught.

Kajiwara: 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.

Raikou: Inside the mansion on the bottom floor, a member of your village is being held captive. Interestingly enough, security is rather lax. The only guards in the area are the ones normally patrolling the mansion. The room the captive is in is not locked, but they are restrained with both rope and handcuffs. Free them, then get both yourself and the captive out of the mansion.

Talo: 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.

Yajuu: You have been ordered to do a hit on a very important figure in the mansion. With such tight security, the only way to achieve success is to impersonate a staff member. Possible positions rain from janitors to cooks and guards. Certain positions will be harder to achieve than others. If caught, you're fucked.

Itachi: You've been detained by the ronin of the mansion. During their break, it seems a chance at escaping is available. you are without any of your tools and weapons, only your wits and intellect can save you now. Hurry and escape before their lunch break is over!

---

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.

[//Talo//]

Talo entered the room, closely followed by his fellow Cloud nin, all arriving at relatively the same time. The room sent a cool chill down his spine, forcing a dreadful feeling of apprehension into his mind. The papers were set before them, lain face down on the desk, waiting for each to begin the exam. Exhaling slowly, Talo felt his anxiety growing, he could feel his hands shaking slightly as sat on the hard seat and forced himself to grasp the pencil.

Palms sweaty, Talo would flip the paper over, revealing the task set before him. Though it was only an assignment to be written on, he felt as if the mission were real, he pictured himself outside the mansion, shivering as each pounding rain drop dampened his clothing and the raging winds dominated his senses. Steadying his hand, Talo blinked and cleared the light perspiration that was forming on his face, lowering the pencil and beginning the mission.

"Night had fallen, and the winds had picked up since he had begun the long travel to this strange mansion. Though obscure in background detail, his task was clear, destroy his mark and escape without notice. Talo had even found time to smile as he read over the mission specifics, studying the map and calculating each and every method of operation. This mission had been entrusted to him, and he would not fail his superiors. The mansion was covered with heavy foliage, a perfect point of operation, one which the shade of night would mask his actions...

The rain and wind was getting increasingly stronger, thundering from the heavens in a relentless torrent. Though burdening, the conditions would do well in covering all traces of his presence. Stationed at the bottom of the slope, southwest of the looming mansion, he sat and contemplated the strategical significance of the spot. From this point, even in the overseeing darkness, no occupant of the mansion could spot him, nor would the rise of earth allow for obstruction of his mission. Having surveyed the landscape before positioning himself, he had noted five patrolling guards, another element in the mission.

The scenarios were different, and Talo stood for a moment, hidden within a second layer of cover, a patch of greenery, going over various situations. Having decided a positive course of action, Talo hefted his bow, stringing the weapon quickly, and testing the tension. Supplies set, he would leave the temporary cover, vanishing into the growing darkness, death lingering in his mind.

Streams of water flowing over his clothing, soaked into his skin, chilling him further and leaving him feeling weak. This was not a good sign, he'd need every once of stamina and strength to fufill the mission efficiently and without flaw. Shaking his head slowly, Talo would clear the vision impairing water, and grow closer to the mansion, moving with haste up the steep slope, keeping close to the incline. Staying tight to the earth, he would continue to travel in the round about fashion up the hill, every so often checking for a passing guard.

The protectors of the home followed a strange pattern, staying only in a certain location for so long before leaving to another indistinguishable post with no apparent plan in mind. This set Talo back, perhaps there truly was no set uniform plan to their movements, but the shinobi instinct within him begged to look beyond deception. Following their movements closely, he'd observe a guards strange attraction to the head of the house, lingering outside the first floor windows, before leaving to the opposite side of the home. An important discovery for such a small side note!

This would have to be Talo's first target, the guard that patrolled the head of the home. His course of action did not involve entering the home, much to risky, and sloppy none the less. The heavy foliage outside the mansion head was a perfect location, one which provided cover and a safe escape after his target had been eliminated. The pouring rain limited his vision, but was complemented by the roaring winds that blocked out all sound around him.

Grinning slightly sadistically, Talo felt the cold feeling of the hunt seep into his body, forcing adrenaline into his system and driving him onward. Thoughts of the Snow country, and his times hunting through the tundra, stalking and removing the prey with the utmost skill. The hunt was on indeed, and his mark only lay above the lee of the hill...Talo would toy with the bow as he moved quickly, taking an extra percussion by checking his arrow count, and whipping his soaking hands to get a better grip.

The guard was making his way around the head of the mansion, unaware that his uneventful night would end in tragedy. Talo lay hidden amongst the grass, roughly 50 meters from the small pool that lay outside the building. With sharp eyes, Talo would peer through the tempest raging about him, watching and waiting for the prey. Unsuspecting, and unconcerned for his duty, Talo watched the the guard slouch with laziness, not caring for the job entrusted to him. Taking every measure into account, Talo would feel the wind, compensating the raging gusts and terrible rains.

The arrow was in his hand, nocked and ready for firing in a split second. Had the conditions not been so dreadful, Talo would not have needed the aid of his chakra, but the environment was intervening...Talo would form several hand seals, pouring chakra into his eyes and hands, further ensuring the mans death. He exhaled slowly as he drew the arrow, taking a last minute precaution to survey the targets surrounding area. None would see the man fall, nor hear him. The arrow he was sure would silence the man, but leaving room for fault, Talo assured himself that the rushing winds would drown the man's dieing cries.

Kentoshittou no Jutsu (Aimed Shot Technique)
Rank: "C"
Effect: Gathering chakra into the arms and the eyes, the user of this technique basically targets as opponent. When the user pulls out their bow and knocks an arrow, that chakra is instilled into the arrow. Letting the arrow loose, the chakra in the arrow homes in on the target, nearly guaranteeing a hit unless the target uses preventive jutsu.
Special: Dragon, Horse, Ram, Dog seals in that order.
Drawback: This technique uses a lot of chakra. If used more than three times in a day, the arrow will flobble around in the air until it lands, nearly guaranteeing a miss.
Description: The user gathers chakra into his hands and eyes, looking at a target. Then, pulling out his or her bow, the user knocks an arrow and melds the chakra in his hands and eyes into the arrow. When the arrow is loosed, the chakra within the arrow flies in the most direct path towards the opponent.
Limit: Anybody could learn.

With a touch of finality, Talo would let the arrow fly, knowing at once the missile would hit home. With attentive eyes, Talo watched as the arrow flew swiftly through the darkness, erupting through the bleak surrounding and penetrating clean through the mans jugular. Talo watched as the man fell, a muffled thump unheard by his comrades. No emotion was displayed as Talo approached the now clear target zone. First mark eliminated, Talo confirmed as he drew his bloodied arrow from the man's gushing throat. Grabbing the guard under the arms, Talo would drag the corpse up hill slightly, dumping the lifeless man into the pool.

With unconcern in his eyes, Talo would watch body float to the bottom of the water, leaving no trace of the unfortunate guards death. Satisfied the rain would wash away the night's spilled blood, Talo would continue towards the foliage at the head of the mansion. Moving cautiously, and making sure not to take on an at ease mind, danger still lurked within every shadow. Time was the most important element right now, it was only a matter that element until the guards fellow watchmen noticed his disappearance and went to investigate. Still knowing they would be delayed by not finding his body, he had bought himself extra time.

The rain remained strong, still pouring down without regard for the task Talo had to complete. Reaching the base of the trees, Talo would shoulder the bow, and use every bit of guile he possessed to climb the trunk and arrive at the think branches with ever concealing leaves and smaller appendages of the wooden giant. It took little time before Talo was looking into the already known room of the owner of the mansion, where he was alone with a single guard for his protection. Talo would grin to himself, one guard for such a powerful man?

Sighing slightly, Talo realized that he would be forced to use his chakra once more, this time to eliminate two targets at once...The howling winds echoed in his ears, penetrating through his hood, and numbing his mind. Blocking out the distraction, Talo would form more hand seals, checking for a last time for any curious guards. It seemed the man he killed wasn't all to popular, for none were arriving to solve his missing status. All the better, Talo would muse, as he finished the hands seals, and drawing a single arrow, peering through the window of the head masters bedroom. The arrow with infused chakra would split, killing the two men before either could react.

Simple, efficient, and lethal, thats the way Talo operated. The shaft of the bow would give a satisfying stretch of the material as he drew the string taught, awaiting the right moment. The two seemed to be discussing something, all the better he would again think, a stationary target was a dead one. Pulled back to his cheek, Talo would aim at the original target, the master of the home, the priority of his mission. He would more then likely escape if he missed the guard, which was unlikely, but also he had to think rationally. The window was open to the environment, one made for the owner of the mansion to enjoy the lovely cherry blossoms that grew outside his room, ones that portrayed such a beauty they could not be hidden behind a screen.

The arrow was let loose with no sound, appearing in the room as if out of nowhere, catching the owner by surprise, not even knowing where his demise had come from. The arrow would enter the right side of his head, catching just barely by the fletching on the left side of his skull. The bone had stopped the complete penetration, but none the less finished the man off with a still questioning look on his face. The guard had little time to react, though seeing the death, he was slain by the staggered chakra arrow that left a gaping bloody hole in his chest, evidence vanishing before he even fell.

Maruchishotto no Jutsu (Multishot Technique)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Fires multiple arrows from one shot. Only one arrow is used.
Special: Dragon, Rat, Dog seals in that order.
Drawback: Only good for one draw of the bowstring. After that, it must be re-cast.
Description: After forming the seals, the user pulls out his or her bow. The bow will begin to glow blue. The user knocks an arrow, draws, targets, and fires. The arrow will be released, as well as a blue arrow formed of chakra. Higher levels of the technique will fire extra chakra arrows. Every time you re-train this technique, you gain another arrow. There is a maximum of six arrows. Chakra arrows can peirce through armor fairly easily. However, they are very, very easy to see and as such are almost useless in assassination attempts unless there is a lot of cover. Chakra arrows can pass through their opponents after striking them and continue through things. This is also true with buildings. Wood is easy to pass through, with other things being progressively more difficult. Chakra arrows cannot pass through gemstones. For some reason, their properties are reflective of the chakra arrow.
Limit: Anybody could learn.

Wasting no time to observe the kill, Talo climbed through the window of the room, grabbing a near by chair and wedging it into the door. Any members of the home at could have possibly heard the thud of their fallen land owner or his guard, would have to break through the door before seeing his fate and calling for the guard. Talo planned to be long gone by this time. Grabbing the arrow lodged in the owners cranium as he left, he climbing quickly, but carefully out the window. Talo would left the bloody scene behind, making his way down the soaked trees, almost slipping twice. As he descended the hill, Talo would look back to see if commotion had yet erupted from the mansion. To his delight the fools had not even registered the swift justice Talo had delivered.

The grass was slippery, and Talo found himself forced to move slowly as he entered the cover of the greenery. The mission had gone without a hitch, working out in every aspect in his favor. Nodding slightly to himself, Talo would again attach the bow to his back, and reposition the dangling quiver. With the blanket of darkness enveloping him, Talo left the foreboding mansion, heading for home to confirm a successful assassination."

Signing his name at the top of the paper, Talo would sit back into his chair, hand cramping horribly from the long essay. The bright lights of the room beamed down on him, but the cool air of the place relaxed him. Looking about slowly, he'd see his comrades still entranced with their work, no doubt weaving a detailed and descriptive account of their missions. He smiled to himself, and sat back, closing his eyes after turning his many sheeted essay over. For some reason the feeling of finishing an essay was incredibly relaxing, and he found himself quickly falling asleep. The low drone of the lights above soothed him, beckoning for him to catch up on the much missed sleep...

Yawning and stretching grandly, Talo would look at the proctor who sat emotionless in front of the classroom, but quickly turned away as he saw the man looked straight at him. Biting his lip slightly, Talo would sit back and wait for his comrades to finish their written exams...

[Raikou!]

Raikou and his fellow cloud ninja funneled into their assigned class room. It was a large room, with a number of desk lined in rows. It was cold and blank, with no distractions anywhere to be found. In the front of the class room stood a tall man. He was large and a bit scary. One would think that he was a powerful ninja from some village, but he wore no head band. Probably to show no affiliation to villages, for fairnesses sake. He had a cold stern face that caused chills to run down Raikou's spine. Suddenly the man began to speak, explaining the first part of the exam.

Calm would be the word used to describe Raikou up until this point. He was brave and confident, and went into this with a determined heart. However the second the proctor began to speak, Raikou began to panic. His once calm demeanor, changed into a frenzied panic. It suddenly occurred to Raikou, how terribly important this first part was. If he failed here, he would not have the chance to prove himself in battle. Some thing he had been working so hard for in the last past months. He knew he needed to calm down and take this one step at a time. With a long deep breath, Raikou began to relax himself. As his confidence returned, a pack of papers were passed onto his desk. It held his assignment and what he would have to write about. With in those pages, his destiny would be decided.

“Turn over your papers and begin!”

Slowly turning his paper, Raikou began to scan the information. Two maps of some kind of mansion would be the first thing to catch Raikou's eyes. Next he would read exactly what mission he was assigned. It seemed Raikou was to save a captured comrade inside of an enemies mansion. The mission was not explained to him in much detail, so it would seem that he would need to be a bit creative when writing. Honesty, however, was something Raikou believed in. While he would create a fictional scenario in his head, the way he would react in his explanation would be completely truthful. Having read over everything a number of times, Raikou decided it was time. Grabbing his pencil, he leaned in. Slowly lowering the lead tip to the paper, he began to paint his story...

"A cold wet wind blows across Raikou's face. His hair flaps wildly as a heavy gust fires as him continually. Wincing his eyes, Raikou peers far off into the distance. Pushing random foliage out of his vision, Raikou focuses on a large eerie mansion. Raikou nods as he agrees in his mind that this was indeed the mansion he has been looking for the past two days. With a single hand seal Raikou begins to gather chakra to his feet. Suddenly a small gust of wind begins to pour out of Raikou's sandals. In a blur of speed Raikou sets off. Using the moonless dark night and the abundance of foliage as his cover, Raikou moves with amazing speed towards the mansion far off into the distance. Speed was of the essence.

Name: Kaze ashi no jutsu (Wind foot technique)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user becomes faster due to the fact he has wind behind his movements which pushes his body harder. It will boost your speed to that of the rank above you.

This will push you 10 to 15 metres in genral but you can end the flow of wind when you choose.

Limit: Wind

Raikou's mission was rather simple. A fellow cloud shinobi had been abducted during her last mission. It was Raikou's job to bring her back home. The details surrounding the mission were rather cryptic however. He did not know who abducted her or why they did so. All he knew that she was being kept in this mansion, and she was being kept alive. Although, the time they would keep her alive was not known, and she could be killed at any second. Raikou was given a hefty responsibility by his Kage and his country. He would not fail them.

The night had become completely black. One could not even see their hand in front of their face. These conditions made Raikou smile, for he was no stranger to darkness. Three quick hand seals and three quick flicks to his forehead protector would be all Raikou would need to understand the land scape completely. Raikou had activated his Sonar no jutsu. Using the sound waves created by flicking his metal head band, he was able to tell what was all around him by interpreting the sounds that bounced back to him. It was precisely how blind bats were able to navigate caves and catch prey with out having any eye sight at all. Raikou planned to use this jutsu much during this mission.

"Sonar"
Rank: D-C ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplemenatry
Effect: The user can locate the general location of enemies.
Special: Bird, Boar, Ox
Drawback: Some objects might interfere with the sonar. Low rank provides a 2-D reading (explained below). Must be learned multiple times
Description: The user performs the need handseals. From there, the user emits 3, very low pitched sound waves(via voice or weapon). The sound travels very quickly in a 360 degree radius. The low pitched sound bounces off various objects with the area and returns to the user to interpret. With this done, the user can pin point enemy movement and location in fractions of a second. The draw back to this that the sound wave only travels in a flat line until a C-rank is attained.
The user begins with 10 meters distance, increasing 20 Meters every time learned. After 50 meters, Training is moved to a C-Rank, which then allows the user to emit the sound wave in all three dimensions. Every time learned in C-ranked increase the distance to 25 meters, With a maximum of 150 meters.
Limit: Must have sound release.

The weather had become worse then before. What was once a cold and windy rain, had become an angry thunder storm. As lightning flashed in the distance, Raikou was gifted with a great idea. After moving through much complex foliage, Raikou finally came to close distance within the mansion. Scanning the side of the mansion while still hiding in the bushes, Raikou looks for something in particular. He completes his sonar jutsu once more. The vibrations travel out, bounce off the large mansion and return to Raikou. In a moment of clarity, he had found what he was searching for. The fuse box, a single metal box that controlled and monitored the electricity with in the mansion. Raikou lowered him self, almost kissing the dirt underneath him. Holding out his right hand, still very low to the ground. Raikou began to gather electrical chakra into his hand. Within a moment, a lightning bolt roughly three feet in size, forms in his hand. Kneeling close to the ground, Raikou waited for his most opportune moment to hatch his plan.

Raiton
Zeus's Bolt
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Nin
Effect: The user is able to make a three foot long lightning bolt in thier hand which they can throw at that oppoenent.

Limit: Lightning Release Skill (Raiton no Jutsu).

With a burst of light a series of powerful lighting strikes crashed to the ground, sending a thunderous roar across the land. Just as this spectacular light show began Raikou threw his lightning javelin at the targeted fuse box. Just as the final lighting strike destroyed the horizon, so did Raikou's bolt destroy the circuitry inside the fuse box. Perfect, it could have not gone any better. Suddenly all the power inside the mansion failed. Every light suddenly flickered into darkness. Raikou masked such an abrupt change in the savage storm blazing in the sky. To any one inside it would simple seem that the storm had knocked the power out, nothing more nothing less. Before Raikou would move, he still had one more thing to accomplish. So he waited, still kneeling very close to the ground.

In less then a minute a dim light appeared around the corner of the mansion. It was a guard wearing a black hakama, coming to check the fuse box. Raikou watched closely as the man fiddled with the toasted metal square. He studied every last detail of his clothing and voice. The guard spent less then a minute outside attempting to fix the problem, he mumbled about how the stormed proved to be to much of a nuisance. Just from the guards actions alone, Raikou could tell that they cared little about there duties or they were very lazy. Either way, it would definitely make Raikou's job much easier. Having committed the guards appearance to memory Raikou quickly made three hand seals for the Henge no jutsu. With a small poof of smoke, Raikou suddenly looked exactly like the guard did, it was uncanny. Even if he did not get every single detail perfectly, the darkness would be sure to aid his illusion.

It was finally time for Raikou to make his move inside the mansion. Still hidden in complete darkness, he utilizes his sonar to navigate. Then using his Otonai no jutsu, he pads his feet with soft chakra. This made his movements completely silent. He slowly crept around the mansion, finding his way to the back yard. Bouncing vibrations once again, he discovers a window slightly open on the first floor. This was perfect, according to his mission report his comrade was being held on the first floor. Quickly but silently Raikou makes his way to the window. Opening it just enough for him to fit through, Raikou stealthily makes his way into the mansion. As he plants both feet on the ground, he starts to lower himself. Raikou makes a number of hand seals ending with the boar. Holding the final hand seal, Raikou gathers more chakra to his ears. Lowering his head to the wooden floor he listens for any type of movement.

Drawback: The user must stand still, with their eyes closed in order for the user to gain the capability of judging the direction of the sound.
Description: The way this works is that the user concentrates along the Sound release as they push the chakra along towards their ears. As the user does this, they concentrate on certain sounds that surrounds the user. If the sounds are in a large area and more sounds is created the user is capable of identifying the general location as to where the sound is coming from.
Limit: Sound Release

Using his Hells ears jutsu, Raikou was able to tell that there was no movement at all with in ten meters of himself. However, this did not mean there were not guards just standing around. Still low to the ground, Raikou opens his eyes and looks under the door for any type of glow that might becoming from a lamp. Seeing none, Raikou stands up and prepares to move. Opening the door with the up most caution, he steps out. Once again using his sonar, he is able to tell that he is in a large hall with hall ways leading both left and right. It was time to begin his search for his captured comrade. Using his sonar every once in a while, he was able to walk around as if he could see perfectly.Using he Hells ears as well, he would listen for any kinds of movements or signs that would point to his fellow cloud ninja.

After checking a number of doors and rooms, Raikou suddenly hears something with his Hells ears. It was still very distant, but it was headed his way. Quickly he prepared his Kakuremino no jutsu. By masking himself in a perfectly camouflaged cloak, Raikou would almost disappear in the steady back ground of the wall paper. As the guard made his way down the hall way, Raikou began to sweat ever so slightly. He wanted to complete this mission with out any detection. Sure he could just beat the crap out of this guy, but that would just alarm the rest; making a safe get away impossible. Slowly but surely the guard walks right past Raikou. Due to the darkness and the quality of his Kakuremino no jutsu, he completely looked over Raikou's position. Just as the guard stepped a few feet away from Raikou, Raikou began moving away towards more unchecked rooms.

Kakuremino no Jutsu (Magic Cloak of Invisibility Skill)
Type: GenJutsu
Rank: E-rank
This jutsu is where one uses a cloak or piece of cloth to make oneself blend in with the background, interpreting oneself invisible.

Although he doesn't use cloaks that really disguise himself well, his ambushes on Naruto have been rather unsuccessful. is not the familiar red wordings along the tag. Each tag that is used must be done before hand, and this is used as a time mechanisim in order to be capable of being used.
Limit: An academy Jutsu that all is capable of performing if they wish to do so.

Raikou searched a number of rooms and all to no avail. Each time, he found nothing but more silence. For some time he went with out hearing another sound other then his breathing. He just kept moving on checking the apparently huge and empty mansion. After some time Raikou began to worry. What if the cloud ninja was no longer here? What if they already killed him? What if Raikou took to long? These question ran through his head, causing him to lose confidence in his mission. Raikou became mad at himself. This was no time to be doubting himself, their was another life on the line other then his own. He owed it to his fellow cloud shinobi to complete this mission with haste. Shaking the pessimism from his mind, Raikou pushed on with his seemingly never ending search.

Using sonar once again to enlighten himself of his surroundings, Raikou discovers two men standing next to a door. The door was in the middle of a long hall way shaped like a capital "T" that emptied out on all three ends. Raikou figured his comrade must be being held in that room, why else would they protect it like so while the rest of the rooms had no security at all. The obstacle was getting past the two guards to free his comrade. Walking slowly and silently, Raikou closed the distance between himself and the guards. When he felt they were close enough, he stopped and covered himself with the Magic Cloak of Invisibility. With the darkness and his Kakuremino no jutsu, Raikou was completely invisible. It was time to hatch another one of his master plans.

While Raikou stood there completely hid from their limited vision, he began to make a number of handsigns. Ending with the ram and holding it, Raikou began to gather chakra to his throat and mouth. Loosening his jaw and stretching his mouth, he prepared to speak out loud for the first time in two days. Taking in a deep breath, Raikou simply uttered a quiet "Mew". The sound he made did not come out of his mouth however, the sound in fact originated far down the hall. Using his Fukuwajutsu no jutsu, Raikou was able to throw his voice to other places. He hoped to get the guards to go investigate the sounds that came from back down the hall way, past Raikou. His planned worked to a degree. The guards decided one would go check it out while the other stayed and watched. No matter, Raikou would just play the same trick in the opposite direction. Just as the first guard passes Raikou, he throws his voice once again. This time he throws it far far down the hall way in the opposite direction. He too takes the bait. With a shrug, the guard leaves his post to go investigate.

Fukuwajutsu (Ventriloquism)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user throws their voice off in a different direction so then opponents or those who wish to hear coming from the user wont be capable of hearing.
Special: "Handsigns" and "Hold with Ram"
Drawback: Can not throw more then six words at a time. Maximum distance of this technique is fifty meters in radius.
Description: The user concentrates on the chakra within, and along the mouth. As they do this the user transmits a few words and uses their sound release to where the sound does not come forth. As the user does this the words are "thrown" out. This allows them throw their voice or move any sounds they can make with their mouth to any location without the sound fading. If by chance the user is capable of noticing or knowing the exact location of an ear, the user is capable of whispering the message into their ear.
Limit: Sound Release

This was Raikou's chance, he had to move quick. Utilizing his lightning quick Noske speed, Raikou darts to the door. Opening it with silence but haste, he storms in. Inside the room was completely dark, so with a quick quiet flick to his head band he illuminates it all within his mind. His mouth opens in shock. It was a young girl, and she was badly cut in many places. It seemed they were torturing her for some reason. 'Hello?' She ask as she senses a presence. Raikou waste no time with formalities. He quickly runs behind her, untying a knot instantly. She was also handcuffed on top of being tied up. Raikou pulls out a single kunai and places it in the middle of the chain. With a fierce push forward, Raikou snaps the chains and frees the young women. She stands up and walks back slowly. 'Thank you?' It was obvious that she was very confused, but Raikou had no time to explain to her the situation.

Raikou releases his previous henge and holds out the same kunai that he freed the young girl with. Bringing it up to his face, he quickly charges it with electrical chakra. Suddenly it glows yellow, lighting Raikou's and the girls face. The young female ninja is put at ease when she sees Raikou's head band. In one swift motion he drags the kunai in almost a cutting motion all the way down the girls body. For one single moment, Raikou was able to see her entire body. The reason he charged his kunai was because, for one he did in fact want to put her at ease, and for two he needed to see her image to prepare a henge. Flicking the kunai back into his pocket, Raikou copies her image perfectly. As soon as he completes the henge Raikou created a simple bunshin. It was an exact copy of the female ninja sitting in the chair with its hands behind its back, just the way he found her. Just as he completed the bunshin, Raikou grabbed the girl and body flickered out of the room, straight down a long hall way.

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Skill)
Type: GenJutsu
Rank: E-rank
This is a basic technique known to most Genin. Bunshin no Jutsu creates a clone of the user, which can be used as a means to create a diversion, distraction, or cause confusion. Like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger), these clones will simply disappear if come into contact, but unlike Kage Bunshin, they are substanceless, and thus cannot do any damage. Bunshin no Jutsus have no Shadows what so ever

Raikou and the girl fly out of the room just in time. The guards had just returned confused, talking to each other about the spookiness of the mansion. They do notice the door open, but once looking inside and still seeing the girl inside, they dismiss it as the wind. It worked perfectly, Raikou had rescued his comrade with out anyone noticing at all. It was like Raikou had never been here, he was like a shadow or a ghost. However, Raikou still was not completely out of the woods yet. Resuming his previous tactics, he made his way all the way back to the room he entered in. The girl laid limp on his shoulder, probably exhausted from the beatings she suffered at the hands of these men. Just as he stepped out of the mansion, the rain stopped. It was as if the gods themselves were proud of Raikou for a mission well done,

Raikou blasted into a full on sprint into the darkness. He moved fast and accurately through the foliage, making as much distance from the mansion as he could. After reaching about a mile away, Raikou set the young girl down. The sun had began to rise and Raikou saw her with clarity for the very first time. She was absolutely beautiful looking to Raikou. He even blushed when she noticed him staring at her eyes. While she was very pretty, she was also in bad shape. She had numerous cuts and bruises, even with some still bleeding slightly. These were times Raikou was glad he had taken up medical jutsu. Raikou put his hands over his comrades chest, and began to summon up a special healing chakra. For the next hour Raikou would tend to her wounds, fixing broken bones and healing cuts and bruises.

Shosen no Jutsu (Healing Hands Technique)
\Rank C
Type: NinJutsu
Description: A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses chakra into the palms of their hands, creating a small ball of healing chakra. This chakra, when concentrated, can repair physical damage to another person. Depending on the degree of the wound, the ninja must concentrate more of their chakra to repair the damage. However, if the wound is too extensive, such as extensive damage to vital organs, this technique may not be able to help them.
Limit: Must learn Gantai no jutsu (Bandage skill) Before

Hone Chiyu no jutsu (Bone healer skill)
Rank C
Type: NinJutsu
Description: A variation of Shosen no jutsu. When an ally has broken or fractured a bone, this jutsu uses chakra which makes the body boost its calcium level. Using the extra calcium, Shosen no jutsu is activated, but uses less chakra since the user already has the calcium to work with, but will only work on bone tissue.
Limit: Must learn Shosen no jutsu (Healing Hands Technique) Before

The girl was still not in tip top shape, but she was much much better off now. She slept for about an hour after the healing Raikou had done. Being that Raikou's genjutsu would last till some one touched it, they still had plenty of time before her captors would even discover her missing. Raikou simply let her sleep to regain her strength. She soon awoke, perky as a daisy. She looked at Raikou with wet eyes and blushed cheeks. It was obvious she was very great full. They duo soon packed up and prepared to move to there home village. Right before they set off, the young female ninja looked at Raikou. She walked over slowly and caressed his cheek. Raikou was confused and almost hypnotized by her dazzeling eyes. She leaned in slowly and kissed Raikou, long and passionate like. Raikou looked into her eyes smiling, and uttered the words, Mission Accomplished."

Raikou suddenly comes back to life at his desk. He had forgot where he was and had become completely immersed into his story. Reading it over a couple of times, Raikou decides that it was a great representation of himself. The ending was a bit dramatic, but he liked it. He was very proud of his work, and smiled as he wrote his name on the top. It took a lot of effort, and was very frightening, but at least it was finally over. Raikou put his pencil down and placed his hands behind his head. Slouching back, he closed his eyes and waited till his fellow cloud shinobi completed their stories as well.

[//Talo//]

Eyes snapping open Talo gave a sporadic twitch and wiped the collecting drool on his face. He had fallen asleep waiting for his team mates to finish, but looking up, it appeared only Raikou had finished his written exam. Looking up curiously to the proctor, Talo would see him nod and gesture for the door. Smiling lazily, Talo would stand, creating a loud screeching noise with his chair. At once everybody looked at him, scowled, and continued their work. Bowing his head, Talo would snatch his exam, and bring it quickly to the front desk, placing it in front of the proctor, avoiding his disapproving gaze.

Turning on his heel, Talo would shuffle out of the room, leaving the stuffy uncomfortable place far behind. He smiled at the thought of the nice bed back at his apartment, and increased his pace. The plain building was now in the distance as he rounded a corner and the hotel was in view.

[Exit]

[Raikou!]

Raikou watched as his teammate slowly made his way to his feet. While pulling his chair out, Talo made a loud scraping noise along the floor. 'Hilarious!' The loud noise rang through the class room, disturbing everyone. Raikou however was already finished, and thought the spectacle was quite funny. Giggling to him self, Raikou prepared to leave himself. He had forgotten they could leave after they were done, and Talo's abrupt exit reminded him. Gathering his papers Raikou began to motion up. He payed extra attention to lifting his chair as he moved it back. While he would love to annoy everyone in the room with a powerful screech, they were fellow cloud shinobi and he did wish them the best. It seemed for now that Raikou would have to keep his mischief streak in check.

Raikou grabbed his papers from his desk, and slowly walked up to the front of the classroom. Placing his papers on top of Talo's, he flashes a wide smile at the proctor. It was a bit of a "F you" to the person who just put him through this grueling and inhuman task that was the first part of the exams. Walking out of the room rather quickly, he wondered how his cloud shinobi were holding up. While they were technically opponents, he could not help but feel empathy towards them. Shrugging his shoulders, Raikou made his way out of the classroom and headed for his hotel room.

[Exit]

[Uchiha Satoshi]

Along with his Kumogakure comrades Kagesue Kajiwara is herded into a classroom that reminds him entirely too much of the academy days. The lined up desks; six in total, the nondescript walls displaying zero distractions, and the chilly stillness quiet permeating the room. Looking at the imposing authority figure hovering at the front of the room gives Kajiwara some slight apprehension and nervousness, but it soon passes.

Kajiwara removes his Gai-kage Kiriorosu and props it up beside the desk he then sits in. Flipping over the paper on his desk he reads the mission details:

Kajiwara: 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.

"Now this is interesting. I thought they'd have more of a challenge. This is a simple infilration and theft mission.." he thinks to himself. Before he begins he looks at his fellow genin start writing their missions out, especially Talo and Raikou who are both really going to town.

Kajiwara glaces at the topological maps of the estastes, then takes a deep breath and closes his eyes to visualize the maps in a 3D environment as if he were really there. Starting to scrawl his mission on the paper, he goes into a sort of daydream to mentally illustrate the objectives.

---

From the southern borders of the mansion and estate the shadow of a Kumo shinobi would be cast along the waning evening light. He wears a slate colored shozoku, darkened damascus steel ude-gane on his forearms, and sune-yoroi on his shins. His face is concealed by a black, demon mask with only his eyes showing. Strapped across his back is a deadly staff/scythe known as the Gai-kage Kiriorosu. This weapon can be used as a double-bladed staff or extended into a kusari-gama weapon. This man is known only inside Kumogakure, and he is Kagesue Kajiwara.

He is on a mission and his objective is to retrieve a scroll from the top floor of the mansion on this estate. He knows there are many guards but the precise number and location are unknown factors. With him he has a topological map of the grounds so he knows at this point he is a little under two miles from the mansion and very close to a large forest with a river. This will provide him with cover as well as a water source should he need it.

The young genin puts his map into his pouch and takes a flying leap into the treetops. Bounding and vaulting from one stout tree limb to another. Kajiwara intentionally takes a slower pace to better silence his movements should any guards be in the forest. His patience proves correct as he happens upon two guards holding post at a river crossing. The crude bridge doesn't even look like it warrants guarding.

Nevertheless, if they spot him this mission is over. He must either avoid them or kill them. Now Kajiwara has a problem. His object just states to retrieve and escape with a scroll, not to kill. His habit is to leave nobody alive in his wake. Fighting temptation, Kajiwara decides to let them live as to not arouse suspicion should other mobile sentries find the bodies and sound the alarms. Rather than continuing to bound on, he rolls and drops from the tree limb he's perched on clear down to the ground, landing in near silence and spreading his arms and legs out. The expanded surface area reduces the shock and therefore the sound of impact. From here he literally crawls through the thickets.

The guards are apparently socializing and not taking their duties seriously as they are complete unawares of Kajiwara's presence. He manages to sneak past them and continue crawling for about a hundred feet before assuming a standing position. The encroaching darkness of dusk coupled with his dark clothing in this forest makes him nearly invisible as long as he doesn't make too much noise. Returning to the treetops, Kajiwara strikes faster than before.

Soon enough he comes to a thinner section of the forest and the edges where a lake lies nearby. Around the lake is another section of forest, and according to his map quite close to the mansion. First he must cross the grassy countryside between the forests to continue. The only thing stopping him is the guard house perhaps a hundred meters due northwest. Thinking there would be less guards in the open countryside Kajiwara abandons the forest and takes off running to the northeast.

The faint glow from the guard house lights grows dimmer and dimmer upon the horizon as Kajiwara turns more to the north and directly into the wind. Pumping chakra into his legs, via the Totsunyuu no Jutsu, Kajiwara makes swifter time running through the grasslands. He turns back to the west, making a long run around the lake in a "U" pattern in order to reach the safe shadows of the forest. Taking a moment to rest, he crouches into a thicket of bushes and leaves and hides. Kajiwara looks at the descending sun and realizes he's used up almost two hours already. The sun is about a quarter above the horizon and dropping fast. The darkness of the night is a double-edged sword, enabling him much better concealment at the cost of his visibility.

Name: Totsunyuu no Jutsu (Rushing Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user rushes at the target, using chakra to enhance speeds.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The student rushes out of the O-punsutansu by pushing off with the right foot and pumping chakra into the feet and legs to move much faster than normal. This would allow lesser reaction time should the user use a kicking attack or any feints. This technique could also be used in evasive maneuvers in order to escape.
Limit: Jigen-Ryu Style, O-punsutansu, Sukueasutansu, Hachimensutansu

"It's time to get moving. I still have to make it into the mansion and find that scroll.." he mutters. For now it's safe to speak aloud as there are no guards around. Darting out from his cover he runs through the countryside again to re-enter a section of forest beside the mansion walls. Inside the woodlands he spots nobody, but upon reaching the walls he notices archers patroling the upper ramparts. Chances are they are very well skilled bowmen and will turn him into a pincushion if they see him.

Just then he has an excellent idea. The night is quickly approaching and the weather is already nasty with the rainfall and wind. It would make perfect sense of some fog appeared. Up until now he has pretty much ignored the rain, but now that it works to his advantage it's time to use the elements. Rolling into a large patch of bushes Kajiwara waits patiently for a break in the weather. Much to his disappointment he must wait for another hour before the rain begins to let up. During his wait Kajiwara takes two exploding tags from his utility pouch and attaches them to the wall behind him. Should he need a distraction this could draw attention away from his presence.

Forming some hand seals, Kajiwara molds his Suiton chakra and extends it outwards to stimulate the water molecules in the air to condense into a heavy blanket of fog encompassing a large majority of the mansion estate. Having fog at this time would make sense since a large amount of moisture is present and the ground is warm from the day's heat before the storms. His Kirigakure no Jutsu is rewarded with the complaints and moans of annoyance from the guards.

Name: Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank

Limit: Water Release

With additional coverage Kajiwara moves through the edges of the forest for better freedom of movement and makes his way to the back of the mansion. The guards seem to be completely oblivious of the shadows walking amongst them. Upon reaching the back of the mansion Kajiwara skids to a stop and dives into the bushes as a guard wielding a large spear rounds the corner of the walls. The guard doesn't see nor hear Kajiwara, but stops and looks around before lighting a cigarette.

"This patrol duty in weather like this is the pits. The boss expects us to die of colds out here in the rain," the guard whines between drags on his cigarette. He doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Wordlessly Kajiwara holds his right palm out and collects some Fuuton chakra and mixes it with the surrounding air. The Fuuton Kaze no Senbon technique forms four senbon in his hand, one between each finger. Standing up quickly he throws the wind senbon at the guard. One drills through his forehead, killing him instantly. Another pierces the guard's neck while another grazes his cheek. The final senbon burrows through the man's chest cavity. Kajiwara rushes out to catch the man's body before it falls and draws attention. Silently he pulls the corpse into the bushes and continues his journey to the rear of the mansion.

Name:Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
Rank: D Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. Because the needles are made of air they cannot be blocked or deflected. The only way to ensure safety is to dodge them.
Limit: Wind Release

Reaching his destination he crouches and examines the area. To the east another guard rounds the bend, but pauses before turning around for his patrol. This section must not be his assignment so no worries about him. The mist is still holding the area under a blanket of obscurity. Kajiwara reaches to his back and takes his Gai-kage Kiriorosu in hand and extends the weapon to the full twenty meter length the chains are capable of. He wraps one section around his left forearm and begins twirling the other end rapidly.

"This will make a little bit of noise so I'll have to hurry.." he mutters. Focusing chakra through the soles of his feet the genin takes off running straight up the back of the mansion wall. However, he stops and hangs upside down from the balcony, not having seen it due to his own artificially created mist. He stops cold in his tracks, hearing somebody above speaking. He can't make out the words but they're there.

After waiting for several minutes, the storms resume and lightning flashes brightly and thunder booms deafeningly. Now he decides to go for broke and continue his run up the wall. About halfway up he leaps back off the wall and hurls his sickle up to the roof. The curved blade whistles through the night air and embeds itself in the rooftiles. Kajiwara's bodyweight pulls the chains tight as he lands against the side of the wall, but despite his best efforts it isn't as silent as he'd wished it to be.

Looking down he sees a shadow cast from the inside lights from somebody coming to see what that sound was. It's just a maid and she looks out only to be splattered with sheets of pelting rain so she retreats inside where it's warm and dry.

"I need to get this over with. I'm wasting too much time.." he thinks as he begins climbing the chain up the side of the wall. To take the pressure off his left arm he walks up some and quickly makes his way to the rooftop. He knows this scroll he's searching for is on the top floor so the hard part is done. Looking down he sees dozens of guards and knows he is in the thick of it now. Quickly he collapses his weapon back to it's staff form and straps it back across his back.

Taking a moment to refresh his memory of the mission specifications he recalls seeing information saying there are five guards on each floor of the mansion. That means there are five he must deal with. If he can pinpoint their locations and patrol habits he can take them all out at once through clones. Forming some hand seals again to utilize his Suiton chakra, he uses the rainwater pools on the rooftop to bring five Mizu Bunshin to life all around him. They rise up like zombies from the water they are made of and take fleshtones and other shades to look exactly like Kajiwara.

Name: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates clones made out of water.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Clones cannot move far from user.
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Wordlessly Kajiwara signals for each clone to watch specific points of entry in which they could gain access. He plans on killing the guards one at a time through stealth and remain undetected. Then he would be able to search the top floor freely for that scroll. The six sit atop the rooftop for almost twenty minutes, silently observing the movements from the patroling shadows. Finally a pattern begins to emerge and a clone makes a tap against its shinguard to alert Kajiwara of a significant point of entry.

Slowly Kajiwara creeps over to that particular clone and the two whisper to each other, determining that this large open window is an entrance to a storage room of some sort on the western side. Waiting until the guard leaves Kajiwara slips through the window and twists around so he comes to perch on the window sill before stalking into the room. To eliminate one of the five guards Kajiwara takes out a length of cloth from his utility pouch and holds it up against his body. Bleeding his chakra into the sheet. This simple academy genjutsu would enable him to blend in with his surroundings like a chameleon.

Kakuremino no Jutsu (Magic Cloak of Invisibility Skill)
Type: GenJutsu
Rank: E-rank
This jutsu is where one uses a cloak or piece of cloth to make oneself blend in with the background, interpreting oneself invisible. Konohamaru uses this technique constantly in the beginning of the Naruto series to try and defeat Uzumaki Naruto. Although he doesn't use cloaks that really disguise himself well, his ambushes on Naruto have been rather unsuccessful.

The guard comes into the room and looks around as he usually does on his patrol. The sentry carries a katana at his hip and wears a simple kimono with an idigo top and black hakama. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary the guard turns but before he could take a single step, Kajiwara steps out from behind the guard and takes his head in hands, then twists sharply to break his neck. To avoid excessive noise Kajiwara clutches the body against him and carefully lays it down in a far corner. With a simple snap of his fingers, four of the five Mizu Bunshin slip into the room to leave one up top to keep watch.

Suddenly Kajiwara gets a good idea. Instead of having to kill all the guards, he could assume the likeness of this dead guard and walk freely amongst the others.

"You all wait here. I'm going to use the Henge no Jutsu and infiltrate further. I'll pick off the guards one by one and signal for one of you to come fetch the body. One at a time you'll use the same technique and venture out until all the guards are dead. That way we can search openly for the scroll.." he whispers. He looks down and studies the corpse very closely, noting all the key features like the man's facial hair, hair style, even the little scar above the left eye.

Forming the hand seals "Dog, Boar, Reverse Ram" Kajiwara's chakra circulates thoushout his body and in a small puff of smoke. Now Kajiwara looks exactly like the guard he just killed. They stand nearly the same height and bodyweight, but now he wears the indigo kimono with black hamaka, a katana sheathed at his left hip, and the man's facial features.

Henge No Jutsu
Rank: E Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows the user to transform into an animal or human of size or few feet larger.
Special: Dog, Boar, Reverse Ram
Drawback: You can never gain the attributes of what you turn into. You are only capable of transforming into a human or animal that is of size, or few inches smaller. If hit once the user immediatly reverts back to their original state.
Description: When using the seals of the Dog, Boar, and Reverse Ram the user quickly transforms into any human or animal that is of size or a few inches smaller, or even a few feet larger. The user at this stage is only capable of holding the form for four turns at a time.
Limit: ---

Kajiwara nods and walks out of the storage room while the clones search for the scroll there. He walks through the door and into another empty, but smaller room, then into a hallway where another guard stands with a spear. The man nods to Kajiwara and he nods back. To bide his time he stretches as if he's tired and looks around, seeing another guard's shadow just around the corner.

"Two out of four.." he thinks as he turns to face the guard beside him. Suddenly Kajiwara drives his right hand through the guard's sternum and simultaneously covering the mouth to keep him from yelling. The body slumps over and Kajiwara drags it into the other room where a bunshin comes out and assumes his likeness. Walking out with spear in hand the bunshin-guard assumes post as if nothing happened. Reactivating his own Henge no Jutsu, the blood on Kajiwara's arm vanishes.

He walks out down the hallway to where the other guard is stationed to see another wandering guard. To not arouse suspicion Kajiwara turns around and walks the other way to seach other rooms. He stops at the other bunshin and signals for the others to come out and hide in the empty rooms of the floor. They can search there while Kajiwara resumes his 'patrol'. Before he could turn to walk as if he were guarding the place, a bunshin walks out and signals for him to come inside.

He nods and slips into the room to see one of his bunshins pull a small, lacquered cedar case tied with a simple piece of twine out of a rotating compartment in the wall.. One bunshin opens the case and inside is a medium sized scroll with golden ends and what appears to be royal wax seals holding the scroll closed.

"This must be it. It's hidden and appears quite important. You all stay put.." he mutters as he slips out of the hallway and back to the storage room where his bunshin is guarding. Inside the security of darkness Kajiwara releases the Henge no Jutsu and puts the cedar case inside his shozoku where it won't fall out. Creeping back up to the open window Kajiwara dispels his clones and lets them dissolve back into puddles of water.

Kajiwara leaps from the window and instantly vanishes through the Shunshin no Jutsu and reappears back on the ground. Utilizing the Shunshin no Jutsu two more times in succession to move into the countryside through the pelting sheets of rain from the raging storms and strong winds. Like how he entered he pumps chakra through his legs with the Totsunyuu no Jutsu to run into the wilderness in the dead of night with his mission completed.

Kajiwara snaps out of his daydream, having written down exactly what he would do on this type of mission to successfully complete it. Turning his papers face down he stands from his desk and takes his treasured Gai-kage Kiriorosu back from its prop. He puts it back across his back and takes his papers to the examiner and places them atop Talo's and Raikou's with his test completed.

He looks up at the examiner with his cold, unforgiving charcoal eyes and just turns to leave, soon joining Talo and Raikou.

[enter, test, exit]

[Casper Uchiha]

Yajuu would calmly file into the room discovered by him and his teammates. It was fairly easy to find being assisted by the simple arrows posted throughout the hallways of the large white building they had entered in not too long ago. His eyes would scan around the around the room, his brain immediately recognizing it to be a classroom of some sort. The desk were aligned in a very orderly fashion in the middle of the class, and placed in front of them would be a larger wooden desk fit for a professor of some sort. As his eyes observed the desk they would come across a man he had never seen before. Yajuu immediately assumes him to be the instructor of the class. “Take a seat,” he would say with a very commanding and authoritative voice. Crossing his arms and staring the gennin down as they entered the class. Yajuu would be compelled to have a seat giving the man automatic respect. “Welcome to the Chuunin Exams!” He would say followed by a curtate speech on why the gennin were present. He briefly explains what the few gennin would be accomplishing for the first part of the exams. The man would end his words with “Turn over your papers and begin!”

Immediately yajuu would hear the sound of paper being flipped over. He would take a slight breath before revealing what was on the other side of the paper. He flips the paper and the first thing to catch his eye were two blueprints labeled outside view and inside view. His eyes would scroll down the paper halting at the directions.
You have been ordered to do a hit on a very important figure in the mansion. With such tight security, the only way to achieve success is to impersonate a staff member. Possible positions rain from janitors to cooks and guards. Certain positions will be harder to achieve than others. If caught, you're fucked. It was as if a guardian angel had been assigned from the heavens to set this up for him. Yajuu loved these type of scenarios. As he had always dreamed of being a member of the Anbu Black Ops. They specialized in situations such as this, and yajuu’s mind would often fantasize of being assigned to such missions.
The shinobi’s fingers would embrace the grip of the pen set in front of him. He would get a firm grip and begin to narrate how he would execute such a task.


“I would await outside the mansion concealed in the embrace of the foliage that resided on the west side of the mansion. Clothed in dark colors and a ski mask, meticulously reviewing my plan of infiltrating the house and eliminating my target. A storm would proceed containing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and random flashes of lightning followed by blaring booms of thunder. As I pondered over all possible outcomes of my future actions. Mother nature her self would seem to be against me as she released her fury upon the earth, or would she in-fact be for me? The rain would be sure to wash away my scent, the wind would sweep away any words if spoken. The lightning could present itself as an opportunity to use certain jutsu, and last but not least the roars of thunder would cover the sounds of certain actions such as drops, assassinations etc.
The plan would be on a somewhat simple basis but executing it would be the most difficult event of the night. Executing the plan with absolute stealth and perpetual cautiousness.

My plan would first consist of making it into the house unnoticed. Second my best bet would be to impersonate a staff member most likely between a cook, a security officer, and a janitor. Third locating the target and eliminating him. To complete my task i would have to choose the employment that would allow me the best opportunity to take out my target. A cook would probably be the hardest position to complete my mission as. Though I would most likely have access to the target’s food allowing me to poison him, taking my knowledge of poisons into consideration this would probably not be the best option. I would also have to consider the possibility of the food going to the wrong person which would result in a failure and a unnecessary death. Impersonating a cook was out of the plan. Next was impersonating a security guard, I would need to take out a guard and strip them of their equipment. He would most likely have some sort of communication device allowing me to hear fellow security guards conversation. This would be a definite advantage.
Now knowing the advantage of impersonating security, I have to assume the drawbacks of the position. Security would most likely be very tight meaning I would have a strict patrol routine. Not being on the correct patrolling route and being seen in the wrong section of the house may cause suspicion with other security guards, which could possibly lead to my true identity being revealed. Which is definitely not a option. Finally my last logical choice would be to impersonate a janitor. This would choice would show the most promise, as a janitor is expected to be seen in almost any part of his working environment without arousing any type suspicion. Allowing me freedom to roam the house at will, access to almost every room including janitorial stations that would allow me access to many different tools that could prove effective. Also most janitors have communication devices to inform them of spills and such. The biggest drawback of this position would probably be stalking the janitor and finding the janitorial room. I would make my decision, impersonating a janitor is my best bet.

Finally I would begin to put my plan into action. The only set back would be the guards guarding the west side. Their would probably at least three guarding the whole west side of the building. Probably one in the middle guarding the entrance, and one on the sides guarding the stretch of the building, and the corners. According to the blueprints the stairs on the west side would most likely make it near to impossible to see their co-worker guarding the entrance. Due to the fact you would have to walk up the steps to see the door. So I would choose to take out the one in the middle. He would be the hardest to notice missing to his co-workers helping him guard that side of the building. This is where I would begin to use mother nature to my advantage. According to the outside view blueprint the stretch of foliage I resided in wasn’t too distant from the steps at all. I would wait for my chance. Waiting for mother nature to send a flash of lightning across the sky. I would inch closer to the end of the dancing foliage. I would slowly expose myself a little more as i got closer to the house, the wind would still be aiding me in my stealth along with the darkness of night. I then position myself accordingly, waiting still anticipating mother natures signal, and in a split second there it was the signal i would be waiting for, a solid branch of lightning would flash across the house below, and with that flash I would instantaneously transport behind the unsuspecting guard.

Rakurai Shunshin no Jutsu (Bolt Instantaneous Body Skill) - Hidden Cloud Village. A technique which allows the user to transport through bolts of lightning, or really in a flash.

Most likely a booming roar of thunder would erupt from the sky. I would simultaneously put may hands around the mans neck and face, allowing him half a second to react, I would then snap his neck and quickly drag him off into the corner next to the door where we would be unable to be seen. It would almost be too perfect the action would be executed very swiftly. I would have made sure to listen very closely to the sound of the man’s reaction. The slightest gasp or word could hint me off to impersonating his voice. Quickly I would lift the man over my shoulder and as quickly as possible I would dash back into the secrets of the foliage.


Now that I would have eliminated my first target I would begin to remove his communication device and equip it for myself. Next I would confiscate his I.D card, flashlight and all keys. They could possibly be needed for later. I would also make sure to get a very good look at the mans dead corpse. Analyzing him from head to toe I would try my best to remember every detail of his appearance from eye color to skin pigment, to the way he had his equipment positioned on his person. This would be very important to the next step of my plan. Next I would tear off a section of the driest piece of clothing on his person, for uses such as drying of my shoes so I wouldn’t leave trails threw out the house and so my shoes wouldn’t squeak as I walked. This would probably be his undershirt. I would fold it up and put it under my shirt where it couldn’t get wet. Leaving the man there covered up by the foliage I would scope the area from the trees as best as possible. If nobody were to be in sight I would quickly dash back to the corner of the door. Initiating the second phase of my plan. Which was to impersonate a janitor.
Recalling the man’s reaction right before I was to eliminate him, I would practice tuning my voice to the small sample of what I heard earlier. Working on it until it was near perfect. So incase I was questioned I could most likely get away with blaming it on an oncoming illness. Once satisfied I would alter my image to the image of my previous victim. Taking on the exact appearance as him and matching my voice as accurately as possible.

Making sure the other guards weren’t around, I would begin to search the side of the house for power supplies units, generators, and things of the sort. If somebody were to approach I would most likely take on the form of a bush using the D rank version of Henge no Jutsu. Once found I would snap my finger forming a small orb of electricity over my index finger. Next I would begin to perform single handed hand signs. This would allow me to sketch out a figure of my liking with lightning. I then would patiently wait before I began to sketch out the lightning. Waiting for mother nature to once again give the slightest flash of lightning. Immediately as the lightning flashed I would quickly draw a ball of lightning flicking it at the power supply unit probably causing it at some outside damage.

I would then immediately end the jutsu and retreat back to the corner of the door. After setting the evidence of a possible lightning strike to the power supply box. I would report it stating its location over the security frequency. Imitating the guards voice to the best of my abilities, requesting that a janitor of some sort would come to check it out, also stating that I would be investigating on a different section of the house for suspicious activity. Closely listening to the response of the janitor who would come to check it out, I would reside in the nearby foliage awaiting to take out my next victim. Anticipating the janitors arrival I continue to conceal my self in the shadows. Waiting for my chance to strike. The man would appear around the corner probably with his flash light assisting him in locating the box in the darkness. Once the man would begin to inspect the box I would insure that no one else was in range of seeing my next move. Swiftly I would appear behind the man snapping his neck and dragging him off into the depths of the foliage.
While in the foliage I would lay the man next to his deceased co-worker. Analyzing his facial features and body proportion the same way I analyzed the other man, until I was confident that I could take on his exact appearance. After registering his appearance into my memory bank I would finally morph into the man.

I then confiscate the mans I.D., keys, and communication device incase someone could tell the difference between the two men’s equipment. While occupying the janitor’s voice I would simply state I needed to go retrieve more tools to further inspect the power supply. Then quickly switching my voice back to the security guards acknowledging my previous statement. Lastly I would begin to quietly break off the branches from the trees. It probably wouldn’t matter if I was loud or not because of the pelting rain and screaming winds, but it was just to be safe. After enough foliage was broken I would cover the two bodies. As I was leaving them unattended and didn’t want anybody to stumble onto them causing an uproar. This would initiate the third phase of my plan.

Disguised as the janitor I would enter the home drying off my shoes and ridding them of wet leaves, grass etc. Still using the utmost caution avoiding confrontations and conversations as much as possible I would lurk throughout the corridors of the house trying to find an idea of where the target would be located. Most likely somewhere with swarms of security. This would cause me to have to take him out with the utmost silence, and a weapon that would leave no trace of bodily fluids. Meaning everything in my arsenal would be out of the question. Taking the man out with my bare hands could be more of a risk this time around. I would definitely have to construct my own murder weapon. Something very strong and effective yet simple. I could gain access to some chemicals in the janitors closet, poor it on a cloth and try to smuggle the victim, but there is the possibility that he might make noises and try to struggle against me. Causing the guards to rush in.
I would take a moment to stop and contemplate on what I would do. Taking the basic human anatomy into thought, I would begin to think of a body part that was be vulnerable to all sorts of attacks. This was definitely the neck meaning I would need to construct something that would crush the artery and his breathing pipe immediately. Preventing him from exhaling any noises what so ever, but then there was the possibility of him using his body to cause commotion. This could easily be solved by a strong backwards and upwards pull aided by a swift knee in the small of his back. Throttling the attack causing his neck to break at the base of his skull. I would need a material strong enough to crush the arteries when looped around his neck. Wire would probably be my best choice. Ninja wire, but this was not in my possession. I would have to suffice with another similar type of wire I could find in the house. The strongest wire that comes to mind other than ninja wire would be a wire from a instrument of some sort such as a piano. Causing me to have to delay my plans and find a music room. Which is likely to be found in a mansion.



Cautiously roaming the vast hallways of the mansion I would search for a musical room and try to locate a piano. Using the keys I confiscated from the janitor, I would search the rooms on the bottom floor giving a quick peek and leaving out. If asked what I was looking for I would state I misplaced my broom or mop. Once I had located the instrument I would snip a good length of the wire with a kunai. Then thread it threw two kunai handles, letting me apply much force without taking damage myself. Now with my newly acquired murder weapon I would tuck it away from vision by the guards that roamed the hallways. Now it was time to continue the mission, I needed to locate the target and do it in a non-suspicious way. “

Tired yajuu would lift his head and stretch his limbs at the desk he sat in. All this writing would begin to cause fatigue. The scenario was still exciting but explaining it through a written paper was tiresome and boring. He would decide to quickly finish it up, there was no need to stay in the classroom with the intimidating man at the front of the class any longer then he had to. He spins his pen on the knuckles of his right hand then continues to mark away on his paper.

“ I would casually approach one of the guards, one that seemed to be calmed and relaxed not so tense and alert. After approaching him I would politely ask where our
special guest’s room was located as I had been requested to check on a few technical issues caused by the storm. This excuse should satisfy even the least gullible guard. After obtaining the location that would most likely be located upstairs. I would summon my self to the room taking note of where I was in the house according to the blueprints. Plotting at least two escape routes, my weapon would be ready to be whipped out at the perfect moment. I would approach the door of the target most likely having to flash my I.D. card to the security outside of the room, which I had confiscated earlier. After being allowed entrance I would immediately begin to scan the room for all possible exits. Locating all windows, vents, etc. Once satisfied I would address the target explaining why I was summoned to his room which was to take a quick look at the electrical circuits in the room. I would approach the outlet in the wall that best positioned me to be able to take the target by surprise. Most likely one behind his back. Pretending to actually work until his guard was down,
I would closely analyze the targets limbs so when I begin to eliminate them I would know where to do it in the room. A place where their arms and legs could reach nothing around them to cause commotion. Once the target was in the best position I would swiftly appear behind them looping the wire around their neck and forcefully pulling back and up. Then immediately throttle the attack with my knee into the small of the back. The target’s corneroid artery and his trachea would be crushed in an instant. The neck would be broken at the base of the skull leaving no blood. Noise would be at a bare minimum. The weather outside would still serve as a cover up for most sounds. I would then swiftly but quietly place the target in their bed. Most likely giving me more time before security noticed anything. Quickly I would exit through the nearest window in the room that led to the outside of the mansion. Making sure to quietly, but quickly shut it behind me, allowing little water to enter the room. I then flicker from the window as close to the surrounding foliage as possible. Releasing my henge no jutsu, allowing me to revert back to my original dark colors. Which would further aid me in my escape threw the darkness. I would make sure to stay in the foliage at all times while escaping. When not possible I would quickly dash through the shadows and back into the nearest foliage. Still having the communication device equipped I would know when security was aware of the targets death, or if they had possibly spotted me. Letting me know when to pick up the pace of escape. Once I was a good distance off the property I would perform a few hand signs and extend my hand under me, forming a ball of air I could quickly scoot away on. Making a swift return to the village.’’

Placing his pen down on the desk he would take one final stretch. Returning rapid circulation threw his legs. He stands up snatching his paper and leaving it on the man’s desk. He nods his head bidding the instructor and his teammates his goodbyes, then exits the building and quickly returns back to the Kikikaikai-Ryuu Hotel.

[.:Sako:.]

Itachi entered the large room his eyes began to widen looking around he saw desks lined up behind each other with four chairs at each table. A man stood at the front of the room awaiting our arrival his eyes looked around the classroom curiously. Then he sat down after all of the cloud shinobi found there seats and gave the instructions to the paper that was below me. Itachi listened up making sure he wouldn’t miss any bit of detail he kept his ears perked upward so he could hear everything he said .He then studied the room for a minute making sure he would get suited comfortable in the stuffy environment seeing that it wasn’t just him in the room. Then he watched as the scrawny man stood up boldly and said “Begin” with a firm voice as if he were very strict with his work. Itachi then began to notice his hands shaking nervously and began to get cold slowly. ”Don’t worry your okay ….you okay there’s nothing to worry about”, he then picked up his pencil holding it tightly with an immobile grip making it easier for him to write. Finally he started writing after seeing that everyone else had written he knew he was way behind and had to catch up so he set his mind as if he were in the mission himself he kept an opened mind of what he could do.

[Starting to write]

The room is wooden with a caged door in front of him the bars were as steel as possible making it very hard for Itahci to get out. Iachi looks around the room dimmed by the darkness while the light only reveals his body in a chair wrapped up an immobile grip of rope .The rope is thick and is gripping around my skin making it incredibly hard to maneuver out of it. He would then try to get out using strenuous effort which seemed couldn’t work at the time. He tries thinking in his head of what he could do in order to get out then he watches as the ronin would leave the perimeter taking a quick look behind him to observe his surroundings and I Itachi while walking away to go on break. I would watch closely as he would look hateful toward me I would move my neck up holding my head up in a cruel way watching every step he took with a spiteful look in my eyes.

I would take one more look around the area and then back at the rope then I would move my weak fingers around feeling the not tied tightly over my wrists. Enabling me to move my arms my head would then move down observing my waist to see if I was capable of using any of my weapons. As I looked down I noticed there were none in sight I then thought in my head “Those ronin must have taken them while I was looking well that’s one thing I won’t be using”. He then sees that there’s only one way get out of the intensified grip of the rope. He would have to use his intellectual mind to his advantage and slip out swiftly with the smarts in his head.

There was no time he had to move quickly seeing that he did not know when their break might be over. Itachi would watch closely as the ronin walked pass the dimmed area then Itachi said with pure base in his voice “Need food so hungry”, then he would watch ascertain while the ronin would back trace his footsteps slowly hearing the rubber soul of his shoes bump against the wooden floor. And before Itachi knew it the ronin was walking into the room his face scrunched up with an angry look on his face his mouth would have a mug look on his face. Which showed his discretion about me, my eyes would close as he would come near the cage door. Taking his precious time and seeing that there wasn’t that much time for me I would think quickly and move my hands brushing against the rope one more time to feel where it was strictly tied up.

I would then use one move that was taught to me in the academy school which I knew some day would come in handy for a mission of some sort. I then did (Rope Untying skill) and would then squirm my way out slowly. Hoping I would show no sign of breaking loose and by watching the way the ronin was still walking I knew he couldn’t tell. The ronin was now in my face breathing hot steam into my eyes they began to get watery and then he said smartly “You hungry boy well let me give you something to eat”, and without thinking the ronin would throw two unnoticed punches toward my face. My mouth would taste the the haste blood and begin to flow out of my mouth streaming down the side of my left cheek.

• Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Untying Skill)
Rank: E-rank, Supplementary
A basic jutsu taught at the Ninja academy. When a ninja is tied with rope, he can undo the knots and escape using this technique. In the English manga, Naruto replies, "What are you doing here?!!" Sasuke replies, "A simple rope trick. Any good ninja is an escape artist." This could imply that there wasn't an actual jutsu in the English manga.

The ronin would then knock me out of the chair backwards feeling the pain as my head slowly bounced against the wooden floor. I rolled out surprising the ronin, he now didn’t know what to do I had him right where I wanted him taking the risk of getting punched in the face two times. I rose to my feet quickly the ronin then moved swiftly toward me with speed and agility as if he had flickered instantly. I looked around quickly hoping to find where he would be when he stoped watching as he jabbed me with pure strength I felt the outside of my stomach beat against my intestines on the inside. As if his fist was engraved through my stomach there was nothing I could do at the time but take the brutal beaten until he got tired. I then through an uppercut toward his stomach when he finally began to get tired “This is my chance”

The ronin would then bend over slowly trying to recover the brutal blow to his stomach, but it probably wouldn’t have happened seeing that I put all I had into it. Then while he gasped for air while holding his stomach tightly I did a low round house kick hoping to make a collision with his ankles. I then studied as he fell promptly to the floor which seemed to be getting wet as the blood and sweat lade across the floor. There was nothing he could do now I had to make a move ‘First I would fall to the ground and bring all my weight down with myself and without thinking do my final blow to his his heart hoping to stop him from breathing.

I would then do (Yomi Heart eater) bringing my knee down to the ground and throwing a punch to his heart the blood was still rushing down the side of my mouth now flinging off the side as I brought my fist down with nothing but power to his heart. I then said as sure that I had one “ Great fight but it ends here very amusing though” then I watched as he took his last bit of breath reaching toward me as if he wanted me to save him from the darkness of him closing his eyes. I would then walk away with a smirk on the side of my face and then wiping the blood off of my swollen lip which had been busted earlier in the fight. The gate was now open and I had instant access to leaving the area and so I left leaving no regrets for killing the ronin. But first I would do my transformation skill copying his body and format getting all the features I could see around him.

I then said under breath “Now that I’m done with that small incident this mission should run smooth as possible”, while walking out the caged door onto the smooth paved marble. I now had the apparel of the ronin disguising myself in a dark blue robe with shoes containing two blocks under them. And last but not least a white cotton strapped belt across my waist line keeping my robe up and tight on my body. I observed my surroundings before taking a few steps out of the infatuated domain where the ronin had laid while his heart wasn’t stagnant and blood wasn’t flowing. I looked left and right inquisitively hoping to hear or see no ronin, but I knew that wasn’t going to be possible.

Itachi then took the first few steps into the hallway, but first taking a quick look behind his back hoping to see no one, but the cracked door. My eyes began to widen as I would try to discover anything or anyone spying on me. I would think in my head “It’s okay your disguised now just get yourself out of here Itachi. This is no time to be lollygagging”, I then began to walk up the hall with a medium speed pace. I began to feel the sweat drip down the side of my head approaching my side burns but the temperature was still on auto cold even though I would guess. Seeing that I felt the breeze from a nearby air conditioner currently going south blowing my hair in the opposite direction while I was continued walking.

Now after walking for a brief amount of time I began to hear a display of noise coming from a certain area which seemed to be filled with a crucial amount of people. All of them had base in there voices increasing the sound by the echoed hallway then I said with shock, “This must be the area where they are holding there break at”. Itachi then knew he had to move across the room swiftly so none of them notice him even though he was still in the transformation. They would probably try and bring me into one of there deadening conversations so I then buffed up my chest and walked across the area where all of the ronin had been conversating at. Then while walking pass I heard a bold voice come near me “ Raiton where are you going your not going to come in here and conversate with the others”. He would then pull his left arm across my neck where my left shoulder had been and bring me into the crowded room of ronin.

There was nothing I could do at the time but walk with the ronin making my way into the confining room. They were all talking loud as if they weren’t right in front of each other my head was now beating continuously from the ache running through my brain through the veins in my skull. The sound of the talking at such a high peak was incredible I knew I had to get out of there quickly, but how without others trying bring me back in. I then thought for a second even though I could barely here myself think then I had it. I then walked up near a ronin who was posted up against a wall observing the others I practically knew what he was thinking as he watched. Probably saying in his head “Look at those hooligans talking louder than a women screaming”, or at least that it what I was thinking. So I then approached him walking slowly still feeling the bump in my head coming from the absurd noise of conversation.

This is the Henge No Jutsu Regiment. The First Rank which is the E Rank is automatically free if you are a ninja. The other ranks must be learned and trained into in order for the user to be capable of exceeding past their limits of the power of Henge.

I then said in a loud pitch while approaching the ronin is there anywhere I can rest my head from this crucifying noise they call talking. He then looked at me with a grin and then said “Of course there is Raiton you act like you’ve never been here before just leave out of here and go straight down the hall and make a left it should be the second door on the left side as you turn”. I would then say with a smile grin on my face “ Thank you I really need to get out of here”, then I left after saying thank you and leaving a small wave leaving out of the entrance. As soon as I got out of there I began to jog the air condition was now gone but I could still feel the breeze brushing against my body as I jogged down the hall.

I then looked up toward the clock checking the time and how much I had moving cautiously now my time was running out and there break was almost over. But seeing that I was almost there I began to walk savoring my breath for when I would leave the building. The sweat was now rushing down my face and toward my chest soaking the top of my robe. Finally after running for three minutes I was there the entrance to the building was near and I knew I had to walk or at least slow down since the door might have cameras around as I left. There seemed to be two guards taking there break near the doubled door I then said under my breath “Your close now get out as quick as quick as you can, showing no sign of yourself escaping”.

Itachi would then walk near the two observing the walls as they changed from a pale white color to a sand tan color and the marbled floor turns into navy blue carpet. But I knew my mind couldn’t be set on how the hallway would just switch out of the blue it had to be set on how I would get out of the atrocious building without getting caught. So I then sped up and my pace would now increase from jogging to flickering toward the door I was now there with no problems except one the bell would ring signing that the ronins break was now over and then I would hear a ronin down the hall shout loudly Raiton is dead and the shinobi gone. Itachi would then hear sirens go off alerting the escape of I Itachi I had to make a move. When the guards would look at me , it would be one second before they noticed I was the shinobi escaping as Raiton then look at me tempestuous trying to kill me.

But before they would try to I would flicker between the two with ease before they noticed I was gone I then burst through the two doubled doors cracking the glass of the frame. And then by that time I went underground doing (Underground Decapitation) then (Track Covering Technique) leaving no sign or evidence of me leaving the area. Then I would say underground proudly to myself “ You’ve done it well done Itachi now how about we get out of here he then did (Fish Projection) and left the sight of the building. Where the ronin were going insane trying to find the body of me Itachi and the guards cheking all around the perimeter looking for any sign or trace of my body I then was gone now brushing through bushes in the forest hoping to reach the sight of the Thunder country then I gave myself a pat on the back pulling my shirt over my head hoping to soak up all the sweat on my face.

Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.

[In the classroom]

Itachi then put down his pencil after being disturbed by his fellow cloud ninja comrade. He then said in his head “Finally I’m done now I can rest and leave this uncomfortable area”, he then fell asleep for a good five minutes wiping the drool dripping from the side of his mouth onto the desk. He then woke up taking a look across the room which seemed like everyone had finished except one cloud ninja. Itachi then got up taking one more look around the room stretching both of his arms outward showing the stress and how tired he was after he completed the test. He then pushed in his chair showing his manners toward the teacher in the front who still had his arms crossed since the beginning of the test.

Itachi then walked out of the room motioning his arm behind his head waving good luck toward the other still writing. He then made his way toward the hotel and then before he knew it he was near his room dragging his feet behind him slowly entering his room and toward the bed.

[Koori.]

Kasai slowly entered the classroom. It was time, for the first part of the exam. Kasai had heard rumors that the first part was written, but couldn't be sure is this information was true. However, upon entering the classroom with the first part of the exam all his suspicions would be confirmed. This was the written beginning to the exam. Kasai was more to the middle of the pack of Gennin as they entered the classroom area. They were all immediately told to take a seat.

The exam proctor explained the rules of the exam. They were to write out a mission in full length and detail how it would unfold. The layout of the mission and mission criteria were outlined on the back of the paper they were given to write upon. It looked as though Kasai and the others only had one piece of paper to complete this written mission upon. Kasai had to write small and descriptively. This would truly prove a challenge.

“Turn over your papers and begin!”

The words would echo through Kasai's head as he quickly flipped his piece of paper over. He gazed upon the layout of the Mansion. This would be the target of Kasai's written mission. Kasai looked to the right hand side of the paper, where it would describe his mission.

"Kasai: A scroll is hidden within the upper floor of the mansion, however, you are not the only one interested in getting it. Find it before your opponent does. As always, don’t get caught."

Interesting. Kasai had competition on this mission, truly exciting. Kasai thought for only a moment before getting right to work on this assignment. He took it very seriously, it was still part of the exam, and if you failed any part of the exam, that was it, game set match. Kasai turned his paper back over to the blank section where he would write out his mission in full detail. Kasai's pencil etched graphite onto the paper as it slid along, line to line, this was what he wrote......

The foul wind blew in his hair as he stepped forward from the tree line into the area of his target. The rain made his whole body wet from head to toe, drenched in water. His long black rain coat was perfect for such a scenario, covering him from head to toe, keeping his innards dry as a hot summer day. The lightning was perfect, it kept Kasai on his toes, which was important. Kasai knew this wasn't going to be an easy task, as the rain drizzled onto his face he thought about to word the Raikage spoke before sending Kasai off on this scroll seeking mission of sorts. "You wont be alone, the cloud are not the only ones who seek this scroll. Get it before they do. Failure here, is not an option."

Kasai was on the move now, as he leap forth into the misty rain fall of the night. Kasai stopped and made quick notice of the frontal guards of this mansion. They held lanterns, and stood on the front porch, eyes wide open. However if there are a few guards outside of the mansion, they're should be many on the inside. It was not as easy as running on the rooftop of the mansion to get the the top floor; and then simply sneaking in and stealing the scroll. It was not realistic choice for a number of reasons.

First off, it was raining outside, heavily. The wet foot marks Kasai would make upon entering the mansion through a window would alarm any guards that should walk in to the room he entered. Also, Kasai doesn't know the exact layout of the mansion by heart front the inside. He could end up in a room where he would instantly become lost. Not only all of that, but Kasai would have to be extremely careful on the rooftops, any sudden noise or movements could cause a creaking sound in the wooden boards alarming the guards to intruders. Kasai was probably giving these guards to much credit, but it was needed. He didn't know the skill levels of these guards and needed to act like they were as strong if not stronger then Kasai, and smarter.

Kasai, after looking at the outline of the mansion thoroughly enough, set his mark on the upper west side of the first floor of the mansion. Kasai set his entry point here because this had the least resistance. It was a long lanky area towards the mansions rear with no guards stationed outside. Inside may be a different story however. Kasai, who at this point had already cautiously made his way to this side of the building through the tree line, made his approach to the side of the building.

Kasai focused his chakra to his feet as he made his approach, making nice firm chakra cushions on the bottom of his feet. This would allow him to move along the grass from the tree line to the mansion, without stepping on any loud branches or twigs. His kunai and other ninja tools were strapped into his pouch firmly before leaving the tree line. Kasai, making little if any noise at all, which would immediately be covered up by the louder sound of the heavy rainfall, was now at the window of the mansion. Kasai made a quick window check, from the left side. No one was inside the room he could see. He had to be sure, however. Ducking down, crawling under the window sill, Kasai made his way to the right side of the window which he would now look into. No one. Excellent. Security seemed relaxed at this part of the mansion. Kasai knew he got lucky here, and it wouldn't work for him like this twice.

Limit: Anyone can learn.

Kasai, took a nice deep breath. Inhaling a full lungs worth, he held his breath as he slowly opened the window from the outside. It was locked, so Kasai had to use a kunai. Slipping it in between the two window sills, he carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible, began prying the lock open with his kunai. After a good minute of doing this over and over, prying the window open little by little, Kasai got it open with a small almost noiseless click. Kasai had expertly opened the window from the outside with out making a squeak.

He made his way through the window sill, one leg at a time, first his left, then followed by his right. The room was empty, other the a bookshelf and a table with three chairs in the middle. "Three chairs?" Kasai thought to himself. Such an odd number. Kasai, just then, heard footsteps outside the door. He stopped breathing, still focusing chakra to the bottoms of his feet forming a chakra cushion to not make any noise as he ran right next to the door, the hinge side. This way, the door would open into Kasai, having the door shield himself.

Just then the door would open up almost unexpectedly. The door would stop right in front of Kasai, with the guard stepping forward. Kasai was already prepared. He had his academy invisibility cloak on now, so even if the door did close, which it did, Kasai would be hidden under a clock that probably would fool even a ninja. This however, was a mere guard, not of ninja level at all. Kasai waited for the guard to turn around, and he would make his move then.

Kakuremino no Jutsu (Magic Cloak of Invisibility Skill)
Type: GenJutsu
Rank: E-rank
This jutsu is where one uses a cloak or piece of cloth to make oneself blend in with the background, interpreting oneself invisible. Konohamaru uses this technique constantly in the beginning of the Naruto series to try and defeat Uzumaki Naruto. Although he doesn't use cloaks that really disguise himself well, his ambushes on Naruto have been rather unsuccessful.

As the guard made his way round the room, he would approach the window area and observe. He wouldn't have much more time after that, however. Kasai came out of the cloak silently and jumped over the table, completely as he took out a kunai from his pouch. He covered the Guards mouth and K - barred him with the kunai, through the skin below the chin but above the neck area, and through the mouth after that. The kunai would eventually hit his brain, killing him instantly. He had to do whatever to get that scroll before his opponent did, and he felt he had wasted to much time already. It was time to get to work.

Kasai left the body where it was, and draped his invisibility cloak over the guards dead body. This would hide what little blood came out of the mans body and cover any signs of any one ever being there. Kasai, before covering the dead body, made note of what the guard looked like, and did a good henge no jutsu, to take a guards appearance. After that, Kasai quickly grabbed a hold of the guards lantern, which he had earlier placed upon the table when he entered.

Kasai made his way around the mansion after he would exit the room where the dead guard laid. Kasai walking normally down the hallway, trying to mimic the guards walk as best he could for what little time he observed it. Kasai, masked as the guard, finally came upon another life form. "Eh! Tony, whatchu doin out-cha post?" said the other guard toward Kasai. Kasai panicked for a split second. He quickly just said in an older voice, "Oh, sorry, I was day dreaming a bit there." said the Henge Kasai.

"Tony, you uhh, ain't sounding too good there, bro you aight?" Kasai froze he didn't sound good enough with masking his voice. He had to come up with something to confuse the guard. "Uhh, I wasn't feeling very good today, remember?" said Kasai hoping the man would follow up and leave him be. "OH YEA!, thats right, you did say that, thats why your acting so weird, huh. Alright, didn't mean to be all up your ass about it Tony, hahahahah" And with that the man turned and went to leave."Oh tony, I'm taking a break, going on my 15. Cover for me?" Oddly enough the guy was asking a sick man to cover his shift, sick.

"No problem, *cough cough*" As Kasai coughed. The man walked away, and this was Kasai's cue to go ahead and make his way to the second floor. Kasai slowly walked over into the other guards area and "covered" his shift. Kasai, as he walked was always looking for the stairs, and a way to make it through the house and to that scroll. Kasai was wondering how this other person was doing looking for the scroll when it hit Kasai that the scroll might already be gone. He had to get upstairs and find out soon.

Kasai walked around the bottom floor of the mansion for quite some time. He eventually came upon a rounded corner and a set of stairs in the main lobby area. Success. Kasai slowly walked up the stair case and to the second floor. This was the top of the mansion. Now all he had to do was look around and find the room with the scroll hidden in it. Kasai didn't have much time left if any at all, he ad to go and NOW.

Kasai quickly focused chakra into his feet for the No sound jutsu. He then would stay in his henge formation, in case he ran into any other guards along the way. Kasai blew out the fire in his lantern, he didn't need it, the lightning that crashed down on the earth every so often would be enough to light up to dim corridors of the mansion. He ran on ward down the hallway. Most mansions such as this one had a huge double door room close to the center of it. This was the masters bedroom/Office. It usually doubled as both.

Kasai ran down the hallway, trying to make as little noise as possible. He went around two corners and soon found himself lost. He wish he had a better knowledge of the layout. He back tracked around one corner and heard a moan through the first door to his left hand side. Kasai, as a guard, quickly entered to see what was up. This was risky, since Kasai wasn't really the actual guard. Kasai slowly opened the door.

What he found, well, id best put as the work of his opponent. Five guards sat gaged, and tied up. His opponent, however, forgot to lock the door, however he didn't think it was needed, and neither did kasai, since these particular guards worked in areas and shifts. Kasai himself however needed to find that master bedroom and get that scroll and get the hell out of there. Kasai noticed a door on the other side of the room with the bond and gagged guards.

Kasai slowly walked over to the door at the end of this room. He readied his blade, and left the Henge jutsu. Kasai placed his own back against the wall and placed his right hand on the door knob. Kasai listened intently with his ears. He didn't have super ears, but with enough tense listening, he could hear through the crack on the bottom of the door, between in and the floor. Kasai heard nothing, and that was ether a good or bad sign, and there was only one way to find out.

Kasai opened the door quickly and stood in the doorway. He had to be careful of activating any traps the mansion or his opponent in this race might have in store for him. He slowly took it step by step as he made his way around the huge room. It finally hit him. this was the room. He quickly took a joggle over to the desk which ha been torn apart. "No, no this can't be!" Kasai said to himself searching the desk frantically. Kasai wanted to cry. All this for nothing? how could it be. He was furious.

Kasai started to pace back and forth in the room. His opponent had already been here and took what was Kasai's. Kasai had to sit down and rest and think this over. He pulled the chair he sat upon in under the desk. He rested his elbows on the very desk. Lightning shrieked out behind him in the windows positioned behind the desk area. Kasai was furious, so furious, that he kneed the desk from where he sat as hard as he could. -WHAM- The desk cracked due to Kasai's noske strength that he lost control over due to his emotions.

Kasai noticed a small wooden square form in the middle of the desk as he did so. He stopped breathing. He quickly tried as hard as he could to pry open this wooden square in the desk. It popped open. Kasai's eyes had had to have fooled him. This was impossible, the scroll was here, in a hidden compartment within the desk. Kasai hadn't won in the foot race, but he had won in the battle of wits. Even though Kasai found this by pure luck, he still got the scroll.

Kasai was done here, He quickly tucked the scroll away within his cloak as he opened the master bedroom window and jumped out. He had gotten the scroll, it didn't mater what had happened or the events of the night or even that Kasai only got it by pure luck, he had it and completed the mission. Kasai leaped from the window itself into the dark ominous night, with a re-newed sense of happiness.

Kasai's pencil had stopped moving. He had finished writing his mission out on paper. Kasai liked the fact that he made himself get it by sheer luck, added an interesting effect to the whole mission and writing effect. It also showed his creativeness, or so Kasai felt. Kasai took a deep breath and turned his paper over, he was done.

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.

Talo

1] Grammar and Spelling: A small mistake here and there, but nothing worth docking you points for. Good overall. +1
2] Description: Wasn’t disappointed here at all. +3
3] Method: I actually quite liked your approach to the whole thing, because you only actually went into the mansion to clean up after your dirty work. The darkness of night made your sneaking around less noticeable, which is, of course, a good thing. +3
4] Originality: Long-ranged assassination. Pretty neat actually. Not something I personally see often, so you get the point here. +1
5] Rules: A bit of auto-hitting, aside from that of your target. What would have bee ideal is if you killed your target and your target only. +1
6] Loopholes: Good use of the terrain. Studied that map I take it? And though it was an auto-hit, masking the cries of you victim using the weather was clever indeed. +2

11/12. Pass.

Raikou

1] Grammar and Spelling: No big errors. +1
2] Description: You left out a key detail towards the beginning of the post that bothered me continuously as I read: What happened to the guard that came outside? You said that you transformed into him, but you didn’t clarify where he went. Did he just stand there and watch you run off? Because if so, you were seen, and thus failed. You also decided to change the gender of your captive part way through the mission There’s also a crucial detail that you seem to have not taken to heart, which could mean the death of you. I’ll state below. +1
3] Method: Not too keen on the ‘conveniently open window, but aside from that, your way of getting around the mansion was nice. The major flaw is in your escape. Are you aware to the drawbacks of your bloodline?:

The problem with this bloodlimit is because the heart is pumping blood at a extreme rate the users heart will explode if active too long in a fight or just even running.

Depending on how long you were running with this girl, you could have died. Always keep your weaknesses in mind. +2
4] Originality: Blowing out the box was quite creative. +1
5] Rules: Godmodding of the guards. How would you have gotten into the room if they’d just shrugged off the meowing? I would think they’d find a feline a bit less important than guarding a hostage. Aside from that, nothing wrong. +1
6] Loopholes: Darkness and storm were both used to your advantage, both with entry and moving about. +2

8/12 Pass

Kajiwara

1] Grammar and Spelling: Only caught one typo. +1
2] Description: Pretty good here. There were some points I was confused as to where you were exactly, but good other than that. +2
3] Method: I’m not sure your whole Fog approach would work correctly, especially since weather restrictions were given to you for a reason. By having the rain suddenly let up, you’re altering the restrictions given to you. As well, fog takes time to form, at least from my experience. It needs a moment to mix the heat of the earth and moisture in the atmosphere. On top of it, fog doesn’t form well with such strong winds ;P Interesting idea, I just don’t know if it would work as effectively as you’d like.

And I really think the use of the weapon was a bit… over complicated You could have just scaled the walls simply with chakura, couldn’t you? Would have made a lot less noise.

Also, you must keep in mind… that in the dead of night, a house/mansion/etc. is completely silent. Sound travels quite well in empty hallways. That simple snap of your fingers could easily have alerted a guard. The Henge Chain: Are mizu bunshin even capable of doing this? I was under the impression that the only clones that were allowed to perform jutsu were Kage Bunshin. +1
4] Originality: Truly there wasn’t anything overly special about your entry or exit. Sorry +0
5] Rules: Auto-hits, lots of them, and some minor godmodding. +1
6] Loopholes: Camouflaging with the dark of night is smart, but you also twisted the weather… had we wanted the conditions to be changed, we wouldn’t have set them at all. +1

6/12 Sorry, but you won’t be moving on.

Yajuu

1] Grammar and Spelling: Nicely done. A few errors, but nothing major. +1
2] Description: Hahaha, someone took a certain RP teachers words to heart? Wonderful descriptive words used. I loved knowing what was going through your head, as well as what you were physically doing. +3
3] Method: You took your characters weaknesses into consideration and I loved it. Realizing your character isn’t some all-powerful being makes you a better roleplayer overall. You analyzed each position, and drew a conclusion as to which would work the best. Usage of the piano wire was very creative, though not the most silent in ways of removal. Piano strings are taught, so upon cutting, not only would it spring back, but you’d get that lovely ‘twang’ sound that would probably make people wonder just what was going on in the room. +2
4] Originality: Your set-up for this was fantastic in my opinion. Blowing the fuse-box itself could work to your advantage with the proper jutsu in use, but using it to get access to the janitor was awesome. Also good use of things that might be available in the mansion. +1
5] Rules: Though appropriate for the mission given to you, auto-hits were made. +1
6] Loopholes: Good use of darkness and the storm to keep yourself hidden. Also use of the communication devices to keep yourself informed of positioning and the like. Very nice. +2

10/12 Pass.

Itachi

1] Grammar and Spelling: Lots of typos, and you changed perspective repeatedly. It.. Got a little confusing. +0
2] Description: I didn’t think anyone used the term ‘lollygagging’ anymore. Lol. But as stated, some grammar issues and sentence structure made this a bit hard to follow. However, I think I understood for the most part. +2
3] Method: Major flaw: You got caught. The guards realized one of their own was dead, and that you were in fact the captive. Had it just been them shouting alone, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but they looked directly at you. Avoiding conflict altogether is the best way to get through it. +1
4] Originality: Your escape (underground things) was good, so I’ll give you the point here. +1
5] Rules: Auto-hit, but aside from that, no massive rule breaking. +2
6] Loopholes: I really didn’t see you use these to much of your advantage. Didn’t try to cover yourself with the darkness… nothing really. +0

6/12 Sorry, but you won’t be moving on.

Kasai

1] Grammar and Spelling: No major errors. +1
2] Description: Nicely done. It flowed well and was easy to understand +3
3] Method: Simple but effective methods are the best way to go in my mind. You kept the details of the weather in mind as well, which is good. However, there were a few details that may have worked out a bit differently, had your scenario been different.

Like another who had this mission, luck was the reason you got the scroll before your opponent did. This mission was to see how quickly you could combine both mental process and physical actions. I was expecting to see traps or tricks to catch your opponent, and got nothing. +2
4] Originality: Though simple things might be effective, you didn’t do much else that any other shinobi couldn’t have. +0
5] Rules: An auto-hit, and the remaining guards being oh so conveniently tied up makes me iffy here. +1
6] Loopholes: Rainfall to mask sounds, but not much else. +1

8/12. Pass.
