Test 1! Sand Village: All Sand Nin In Here

[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.

---

Angel: 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.

Suro: There’s nothing to steal in this mission, for the information isn’t written. A meeting is taking place on the lower level of the mansion. Using stealth, gather the information being spoken, and then swiftly exit the building with it. As always, guards are on duty.

Lui Kang: 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!

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

Korekiyo: 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.

Nirashi: 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.

---

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.

[The Asko]

Suro leaned back in the desk among her fellow Sand ninja. The man at the front of the room who was giving out the instructions had an incredibly dull voice, one that could nearly lull Suro to sleep. However, on a day such as this it was absolutely necessary to stay awake, which meant that was what she would do.

As the unknown man ordered them to begin she sat up a bit straighter and leaned slightly over the desk in order to get a good look at the challenge set before her. Reaching forward, Suro turned the sheet over to reveal the picture of a map, along with more detailed instructions. She read them slowly, soaking in every word with diligence while rolling the pen which she had been given to write with in between her fingers.

There’s nothing to steal in this mission, for the information isn’t written. A meeting is taking place on the lower level of the mansion. Using stealth, gather the information being spoken, and then swiftly exit the building with it. As always, guards are on duty.

Suro read the information, and then re-read it just to be sure before actually thinking about a strategy. Writing out strategy was never her strong-point, but rather thinking on the spot. Actually being there was so much different than sitting in a classroom discussing possibilities that it was hard to compare. However, it was possible, which made it necessary, which meant she had to do it.

Suro sighed reluctantly as she began to write, at least beginning the introduction, her mind falling into her visual of what she would see.

I find myself standing outside of the target location. The mission: Gather information and eavesdrop on a meeting inside of the location, then leave. The mission specifications say to use stealth, which is basic code for: no casualties, don’t be seen. Stripped of my headband prior to the mission in order to secure that my resident village remain anonymous, I step forward, dressed in all black, the primary stealth colors, hardest to see and recognize. I take but one step before moving into action.

As I take my one step forward, I silently perform the handseals for Doton - Dochuu Eigyo. Upon falling into the earth, I move forward, underneath the target location. Seeing as though I no longer have the advantage of sight on my enemies, I do have the advantage of sound. The enemy can no longer hear or see me, but I can hear them. It is obvious that the highest concentration of people and voices would be heard in or near the location of the meeting. Thus, using the abilities passed down through my clan for generations, I would use my sensitive hearing to follow the concentration of footsteps, and then voices.

It would only take a few minutes to find the target meeting, and seeing as my hearing is more sensitive than even that of a wolf’s, I would listen to the meeting simply through the floor below them, taking notes in my mind, but not writing them down. Writing them down would just prove to be evidence and endanger the mission. When the meeting ended and I had obtained all target information, I would then move out, remaining underneath the earth. Upon reaching the border of the house I would continue on into the trees to be sure that I could not be seen.
Upon reaching the trees I would resurface and return deeper into the woods until I was sure I could not be followed, covering my tracks until returning to the village.

Suro stopped, completed. She re-read what she had written and was satisfied. It was indeed, exactly what she would have done had she been put in the real situation. It was nothing fancy, but it was realistic and simple, which is what counted in her mind. Suro smiled some before writing her name across the top and flipping it back over, leaning back in her desk once again and closing her eyes for a rest.

[kalo]

”Jeez.. Where you guys been all day?”[/colo] The boy of course would be referring to his two companions, Kang and Suro. So, there were other Sand shin obi here to? And the greatest surprise of all is t hat one of them happened to be their Kage. The boy had never really heard of that; A kage entering the Chuunin exams. Obviously the Kazekage was on genin level, just like the rest of them. If they allowed it, Angel wouldn’t complain. Didn’t that just mean he was competition? But of course not. They were all apart of the same village, so it looked as if the Uchiha would have more than 2 teammates for this. Spunky of course went wherever he went. The little rabbit was curious, looking all around the place upon entry. He was wide awake now. Angel would flash a quick smile to Kang and then to Suro. He’d nod to the other Sand shin obi in the room, and then walk to the back of the room in which the boy would occupy the back row, most likely being the only one. The examiner would practically slam his paper on his desk. ”The hell is this..?” The boy would coo to himself. Spunky would also be staring down hard at the paper in front of them. Steadily at his own pace, the boy would read the instructions. He would make sure he wouldn’t miss a damn thing.

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. So these were his instructions? And he had to explain exactly on paper how this mission would go, or in other words what he would do in this situation. It seemed like the boy found himself explaining how to help someone, or helping someone on his team lately. But no matter, he’d ace this test with flying colors. Yep, his attitude was that confident and determined. Swiping the pencil from the desk and spinning it around in his fingers a bit, he’d allow his usual smirk to stretch across his face. ”Peace of cake.. Rather lax guards? Hehe..” Uttering the words, the boy would apply the tip of the pencil onto the paper and immediately begin.

The Mission__________

By: Angel Uchiha
No shin obi tools at all, nothing but jutsu would be used here. The boy would be camouflaged. His outfit, all black. A black mask covering his face. Only his green eyes were visible. His hair hung slightly low beyong the back of the mask. He remained, posted in rather large tree outside the mansion. He was well hidden from view. It was dusk out here, and the rain was beating down heavily. The winds were pretty strong, but the boy wouldn’t falter. He wouldn’t allow it to stop him. Smirking under the mask, he’d scan over the mansion. No patrols outside, most likely because of the rain? Or perhaps he was just dealing with particularly lazy and careless guards. A fellow ally was inside, and the Uchiha had to do whatever it took to get him out. Swiftly removing himself from the tree, he would move across the dark grounds with amazing speed. Even if one were to look out the window and below at the grounds, they wouldn’t be able to see him due to the dark sky. And as swiftly as he’d move, he’d be thinking rather quickly also. There was a rather large window. He could see everything inside. 5 guards were standing in the middle of this room talking amongst themselves. The boy would continue to watch, slightly ducked below the window. ”Man this job is boring.. Look, I’ll be in the back room reading my magazines if anyone needs me.” And with that, the one of the guards would move rather slowly and slouchy towards a room in the top right corner.

Angel’s scroll said that his fellow sand shin obi was located on the bottom floor. At least he didn’t have to do any climbing of stairs or anything. He’d get in and out, no fancy stuff. ”Man.. I gotta take a crap..” And with that, another guard would head off to a room in the opposite direction of the first guard. The three remaining guards would move around the room, obviously assuming their patroling positions. With a few distractions here and there, Angel should be able to get in. Crouching low below the wind. Angel had also taken note of the guard that was closest to the door, his appearance etc. Tapping on the door hard with his knuckles, the guard would look a bit dumbfounded and then proceed to the door. ”Damnit.. Who’s coming to visit at this bloody hour..?” The guard would open the door and poke his head out. ”Hello..? Hello!?” The man would step out, of the mansion and into the darkness. He would leave a rather large crack in the door as he’d stand there, putting a flashlight on and trying to see if he saw something. ”Damn kids..” And as that statement was said, Angel would grab the man at the head. Putting one arm around his neck and one around his mouth so no one could hear him scream. Snapping the man’s neck quickly, and dragging him outside, right underneath the window he would leave the body there. With that, the boy would complete a few hand seals and take on the exact shape, form and appearance of the man.

Limit: ---

The boy would open the door and close it behind him. He’d have to play this off correctly. Wiping his feet on the mat, he’d look up at the other guards who were looking at him now. ”Some damn kids is all.” His voice was not his. Completely changed. Now he needed to find out which room the sand shin obi was in. Fifteen rooms on this blasted floor. He’d make sure he played this off quick. Pretending that he was on patrol, the boy would make conversation with the other two guards in this large room. ”How’s that sand scum?” The other two guards would look at the transformed Angel with confused looks upon their faces. ”I dunno, haven’t checked. But why do you care all of a sudden, Jim?” The one nearest to the boy would ask. Clearing his throat, he’d think quickly. ”Ahem! No reason. Just, you know. The boss will have our hides if he’s hurt or dead.” A fast one. You had to be realistic here. Why would they keep the sand shinobi alive so long if their boss wanted him hurt or dead? Obviously he wanted something from him, and of course he’d have to keep him alive to get it. ”Yeah! That’s true, Jim! I got a wife and kids to think about. I can‘t get killed because of some brat. I‘ll go check up on him now.” Angel would watch attentively. The man would walk towards the other guard in the room, and then past him into a room. Second to the last on the left wall. Right, then. Angel would take well note of that. Now he had to get rid of the other guard in this room.

”Say Jim, check this out! You can hear Bob in there taking a dump.” Obviously this Jim character would have acted as if he wanted to listen. And this was his opportunity. The boy would proceed over to the other guard, on his left, but slightly behind him. Angel would snicker a bit, and then apply a chop to the back of the man’s neck. Knocking him out instantly, Angel would catch him so he wouldn’t make a loud thud onto the floor. The perfect spot, behind the huge stair case. So the boy would drag him along there. Concealed away, he’d change back into his normal self and then perform more hand seals to finally take the form of the guard he’d just knocked out. Quickly he would assume the position of one he’d knocked out and pretend to be listening to the guard named “Bob” taking a dump. Soon enough, the guard that went on to check on his sand ally would return. ”Hey, where’d Jim go?” He would ask looking around, and then looking at Angel’s new body. ”Ah.. He went to take a dump.” The guard would nod and then laugh a bit. ”I guess those beans stuck it to everybody! Haha..” Angel would manage a laugh, it was pretty real for the boy found it funny. He’d stop a little bit after the man, and then motion him to come. ”Here, Listen to Bob take a dump..” The man would laugh quietly and then walk over to where Angel was. Angel would back up a bit, so the man would put his hand on the ear. And with that, it would be his final mistake. Angel would throw a hand over the man’s mouth and an arm around his head. Snapping his neck, he would drag the man behind the staircase in which he’d put the real guard. And with that, he transform into his newest victim.

Now the close was clear, the boy would proceed to that second to last room. Opening and closing the door behind him, he’d look at the captive shin obi who would stare back at him with hatred in his eyes. ”What the hell do you want again..? I’m not telling you anything!” Angel would put a finger in front of his lips to hush him. And with that the boy would transform back into his normal self. The sand shin obi looked rather surprised to see him, but nonetheless grateful to see the boy before him. Angel would speak softly and walk up to captive shin obi. ”I’m getting you out of here, Angel-Style.. Which is of course not getting’ caught..” The shin obi would laugh a bit, and Angel would go to work quickly.

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.

Within seconds, the rope was undone and low on to the shin obi. Now it was time to deal with the handcuffs.

Magnetism

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user can, using their attunement to lightning, control metal objects around them to a degree.

Limit: Lightning release, All CLoud ninja can freely learn. If a ninja is not cloud, they must learn it from a cloud ninja who knows the A rank.

Using this jutsu, Angel would hold the monkey hand seal and then cause the cuffs to uncuff themselves. They would float up, in front of Angel’s face. The boy would release the seal he’d be holding, and then allow the cuffs to drop into his hands. He’d place them down onto the chair, one the sand shin obi had risen up from the seat. ”And now for the grand exit.. Do you remember that guard that came in here..?” The shin obi would nod a bit. ”Transform into him. And so the shin obi would. Angel would then perform his own hand seals and then transform into guard he had chopped; The one that was listening to the guy take a dump. ”Alright, now we’ll walk out and laugh like dumb asses. Together now.. And then it would happen. The two of them would laugh as if someone had told a hilarious joke. Of course rather fake. They’d walk out of the room and take a quick glance around. The guy in the rest room would also come out and look at the two of them. ”Hey! Tim and Joe. Whats so funny----- Oh hold that thought.. Beans kicking in again..” And with that, the man would run back into the bathroom holding his stomach. Angel would tilt his head to the side to signal his shin obi ‘Lets go’. And so they’d would. Exiting out the front door, the two of them would “Flicker” (1/3) back up into the tree that Angel had been in. It was of course dark by now and then mansion ground lights would turn on. However the rain would still be beating down heavily. The two would transform back into their original selves, and take one last look at the Mansion. ”Lets get the hell out of here before they realize what just happened.. Man.. They should really hire better guards..” His fellow shin obi would laugh a bit and nod. The two of them would then turn around and body flicker from their spot on the tree, now heading back to the Sand Village where Angel would report back to the Kage, of course with his rescued hostage..

Classroom_________

Angel would finish up his writing, and then place the pencil on his desk. But shortly afterwards he’d swipe it back up and return to the top, placing his name on it. ”That’s good, Spunk?” He would whisper to Spunky. His friend would nod in approval with a slight smile on his face. Angel would nod also and then place his pencil on the desk. He’d slouch back in his seat and then wait until the examiner would say the time was up. He hoped Suro and Kang did well. Not to mention, he hoped he had done well enough t get him into the next part. But honestly, he’d be happy as long as one sand shin obi became a chuunin, specifically his teammates. ”And I thought I was done with classrooms..” The boy would mutter to himself..

[Lui Kang]

Well i guess this right here is all or nothing right Lui kang would think to himself as he would walk into to see his teamates finishing up his exams.- maybe i should have came in here earlier so i should get a head start, but i guess this round shouldnt be that hard, i mean its the first part. not to get all cocky or anything but i know what i should be expecting from myself- Kang would think to himself before he wouldfind himself a seat around his teamates and would listen to the intrustions given to him by the exam intructor of their class room.-wow, we have to right an essay on a random mission they just give us, well i guess we couldnt say thats to hard but hopefully it isnt- Kang would think to himsel sighing as he would read what was given to him to do on his exams.

So basically all i have to do is write about how i would escape from some ronin, while their on lunch break kang would think to himself sighing.-if thats all i have to do then i shouldnt worry about failing, lets just look at the key word on the mission is have been given to wirte, it says lunch break, and thats when most of the people around and guarding him wont simply care about what was going on till they got off- Kang would think to himself rubbing his hands with a smirk on his face trying not to get so cocky, but it was kinda hard to do that when you knew exactly what to do in situations like those, he knew most of the other ninjas who got this assignment was going to be trying to write on long and stuff, but if you were smart enough to know, he knew that they wouldnt be grading on length, but how smart you are in mission like those and how much work you would put into it to get out of those situations.

Kang would smirk to himself as he would begain re looking over his topic and wouls smirk once again before the smirk would slowly fade away from his face as he would begain to get into his focus time, he would look around to see that suro and angel had already started when he had came in and he knew both of them were just as ready as they were, hopefully they wouldnt fail the first round, but just being around them for the time he has been , he knew that this was going to be just as easy to them as it is to him, all he really cared about was proving to others how good he was and how good of a teamate he could be to his team in the process.-well i guess its about time i finally start getting started on my exam, i guess i could start by just putting a random tittle on the top of my paper as i will get started on it- Kang would think to himself looking down at his paper as he would begain to get started on it.

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is can not be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fieiry explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing even more devastating damage.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

[/i][/ul]

Judgement Day
Rank: A
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: After clasping your hands together you summon the maximum amount of chakra into both of your fists. With a mighty war cry you strike the ground and cause a tremor!
Special: None
Drawback: This attack is mainly used to change the fighting landscape and/or to intimidate your opponent. It will very rarely cause harm to another Ninja. (Unless they are unprepared.)
Description: This move is very similiar to Haymaker, only this time your fists are clasped together and you are striking at the ground, not the opponent. The devestating strength of this attack triggers the release of underground stress along fault lines. This release causes movement in masses of rock and resulting shock waves. In other words, an earthquake.
Limit: This attack can only be used once per battle. Changing the environment is risky buisness and the Medical-Nin must always be mindful of the consequences of their actions. Must know all B-rank techniques.

Armor of Apollo
Rank: A
Skill: Defense
Effect: Through unrivaled chakra control, the user is able to coat their entire body with a thin layer of chakra which acts as a shield against offensive attacks.
Special: None
Drawback: Offers no resistance to Genjutsu. With each attack that hits the armor, more chakra is required to maintain it. However, if the attack is too powerful the entire shield itself will be destroyed. This is mainly used as a way to allow the Medic to fight for longer periods of time while taking less damage.
Description: An invisible, thin layer of chakra covers the user in order to offer some resistance to offensive attacks. This resistance is fairly good and will usually reduce the incoming attack to the user by 50%. With this technique a constant yet minimal supply of chakra must always be maintained. However, the more damage the user takes the more chakra it costs to sustain said shield. (IE: Shield at 100% costs 10 chakra to maintain. Shield at 50% costs 50 chakra to maintain.)
Limit: Must know all B-rank techniques. Once the shield has been broken you must wait three hours before forming it again.

[/i][/ul]

Kang would smile to himself as he would finally finish his essay watching as angel would be coming back from giving the intructor his exams."well i guess now im done" kang would say to himself standing up as he would walk over to the intructor and would hand him his test and would head back to his seat before laying his head back in relief, he couldnt garantee that he was going to pass but he knew that he had done his best, and with alot of confedence within in the paper he was sure to be on his way to the second round of the exams, but for now he ouldnt think that far ahead and would wait for everyone else top put in their exam so that they could all get their grades.

[N I R A S H I]

Nirashi scratched his head as he entered the room with the rest of the Sand Village’s hopefuls. The young shinobi entered slowly with an eager look on his face. Today would be the first part of the Chuunin Exams, and he had definitely been looking forward to this. The ninja was fully geared, ready for any and everything that could possibly be thrown at him. Though inside he was a little nervous and afraid, he was a shinobi and emotions was one thing he couldn’t express and especially not now. He quickly took a seat and looked around the classroom. He glanced around the room at all the ninja, who like him, bared Sunagakure Headbands, meaning they were all from the Village of Sand.

Once the instructions were completed the ninja took a few breaths, inhaling once and exhaling, he then flipped his paper and read his prompt. Alright, 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. This is an interesting topic, so there are 15 rooms on every floor and 5 guards patrolling, very interesting, lets see. Nirashi then looked over the map of his location and read the information describing his surroundings, after reading the prompt and information twice he picked up his pencil and twirled it in his hand. The young shinobi then proceeded to write.

Okay, no need to check any rooms besides the one at the top floor, so I need to go in and get out swiftly, and avoiding guards would be a smart idea. Nirashi had his brainstorm and thoughts gathered, now was the time to write and express in detail how he would handle the given situation.

The Mission of Retrieval! Get the Scroll Nirashi!

By: Nirashi Cora

Nirashi stood outside the large mansion standing tall before him and looked upward to the top, his hair slapping his face softly do to the whipping winds, nothing he wasn’t used to for his was from the Wind Country, and the winds in the desert definitely are abusive at times. It was dark outside and rain fell heavily as well, this definitely was not the best weather to be in at all. Nirashi looked around the area knowing his mission was one of importance and one that required speed and slyness for this was sort of a race to the top. Nirashi was a ninja who could work hard, but also work smart and instead of working fast, he planned to work smart.

Nirashi smiled as he reached into his holster and pulled out a kunai. He scanned the building and looked towards one of the middle floors, apparently he was thinking carefully about something, but after a few seconds his thought process ended. “Got it…” He stated simply. The young trainer took his right hand and parted his hair from over his eye to prevent any problems or lack in this job. The next thing he did was slide his hand and take the cork off of his gourd, which he carried, strapped upon his back. Nirashi took some steps towards the mansion, analyzing in his head his position and aim, trying to get to the right range, for what he had planned. With a nod assuring him he was close enough, he quickly reached in his hip pouch, shuffling through the few items in the small pouch.

He took out one Explosive Note and a Flash Bomb. Attaching his explosive note to the kunai he narrowed his eyes as he focused upon a window located in the middle or at least close enough to the middle for his plan to throw off and fool the guards. He cocked his arm back straight and focused, he then, swiftly, released the small kunai forward with enough precision, agility, and force to break through the glass window and land inside the mansion. As he stood he waited for the right time, and soon the time was right. Nirashi heard the loud, ear-bursting explosion and now was alerted. The time to start was now. The ninja clenched the Flash Bomb and tossed it up aiming at about the same position as he threw the kunai. The bomb exploded in a bright, yellowish light definitely great for distracting and concealing ones movements. As he released the Flash Bomb Nirashi quickly began forming a handsign, channeling his chakra to move the sand from his gourd. As he did the sand from his gourd began to pour beneath him rapidly. As he kept the chakra circulating the sand began to solidify and form a figure, a platform of some sorts. The platform then suddenly shot up and lifted his movements still concealed by the fading light of the Flash Bombs. The Desert Suspension made it half way to the top of the building, his journey near done, now. The young shinobi quickly pulled out another Flash Bomb and tossed it once again, releasing the same bright, distracting light. Same song and same dance, Nirashi made a handsign and once again the sand seeped beneath his feet as he continued to pump chakra the sand formed into another platform and compacted, forming the platform, shooting him up, finally to the top floor of the mansion.

Sabaku Fuyu (Desert Suspension)
Name: Sabaku Fuyu, literally "Desert Suspension"
Type: C-Rank, Supplementary
Users: Gaara
Gaara, using the sand that he carries on his back, is simply able to stay afloat up in the air with the sand he controls at his will.
Level: 25 Must have Gourd

Nirashi looked through the window of the upper floor. He scanned the area and took note of the room. He noticed the five guards who seemed a bit alert, probably due to the explosion and flashing lights caused by the hands of Nirashi. He carefully made sure to take note of their position throughout, he had to get passed and distract them, however he didn’t want any dead bodies, but if it had to be done, it would be. Pulling out his last Flash Bomb, he threw it through the window with force. The crackling of the window caught the attention of the guards and now Nirashi began to enact the final part of his plan. Once the lights of the Flash Bomb began Nirashi hopped in through the window and ran through the first few rooms he saw.

In the first 4 rooms, he made it through no problem; however, the scroll he was looking for was nowhere to be found in the room. Nirashi knew he would now have to take a more aggressive position, seeing his distraction probably had expired by now. Nirashi exited the room his head lowered. The young shinobi was building chakra within his hands. Winds around him began to circulate around his hands, easily to thanks to the rapid winds entering from outside, through the broken window. Once Nirashi heard the guards approaching he smiled and whispered softly. “Wind Cut Jutsu…” Nirashi raised his head slightly; just enough that the guards were in his sight and began to swing his hands rapidly, releasing a blade of wind towards each of the five guards. The blades each hit with precision, hitting the left chest breast, over the heart, making the jutsu a bit more effective. The jutsu sliced each guard open blood gushing out and wind being knocked out of them. With that, Nirashi had an extended amount of time to continue his search, for the guards wouldn’t be able to respond for a short while.

Nirashi ran through each room, ransacking each one, carefully. Once he made it to the 12th room he located the scroll, and grabbed it with a smile on his face. He knew he was the first to make it there, seeing the scroll was in place, and was ready to get out before the guards or someone else caught up with him. Nirashi ran towards the window hopping out from the top floor of the mansion. The winds and rain came down upon him rapidly with a relentless force. Nirashi smiled and apparently was at ease, despite knowing if he hit the ground death was assured. Nirashi for some reason didn’t care, so apparently he had something up his sleeves. He was positioned near the wall of the tall mansion, so he was positioned correctly and ready. He quickly performed the Horse and Serpent handsigns and placed his hand beneath him, pumping chakra. Underneath him what formed was a beach ball sized, sphere of wind. Nirashi bent his knees and his body sat on the ball, which was scooting down the wall. Now sitting on the ball comfortably he scooted his way down the walls and onto the ground from where his mission began, escaping quickly with the scroll in hand and mission complete.

Nirashi placed the last period upon his paper and with a smile reread his work. Nirashi smiled again and relaxed himself in his desk, proud of his work and awaiting his fellow villagers to complete their essays. Nirashi laid the pencil flat upon his desk just as a little notice that he had completed. He was nervous, hoping his work was good enough to meet the standards of the Examiners. He really with a passion, wanted to make it to the next part of the exams and would do anything in his power to make. He took a few breaths to calm himself down and not show that he was nervous deep down. He could never show emotion, he was a ninja and was destined to be the best he could.

"C'mon Spunk, lets go grab a bite. I'm sure they'll call us whenever they're ready to give grades out." The boy would tell his animal companion silently. And without another word, he would rise from his seat and troop out of the room.

Nirashi noticed another student leaving and sat a little while longer. He knew grading might take awhile so he rose, strapped on his gourd and looked around the class. He then looked at the Chuunin Examiner and nodded, the examiner probably not paying any attention to Nirashi, but hey the nod wasn't for attention no way. Stretching his relaxed and sleeping bones he stepped down and began to walk towards the exit of the class.

He had really hoped he and his fellow ninja had passed. He knew if they make a good impression on other villages, that'll be more missions and greater things for the Village of Sand.

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.

Suro

1] Grammar and Spelling: Words were spelled correctly, and there were no major errors I caught. +1
2] Description: Short And some key details, like distance underground, that would determine how effective your method was, were left out. +2
3] Method: It’s definitely an interesting use of jutsu, but I’m not sure how effective this would actually be. I understand that Han Urufu have much sharper hearing than others, but would it really allow you to hear clearly through the earth surrounding you, as well as whatever the floor of the mansion may be made of? You may be able to hear something, but clearly enough to effectively steal vital details I’m not so sure about. Also, since you didn’t actually get inside of the mansion, would it be possible that the noises you heard was just random conversation with no significance whatsoever? +1
4] Originality: As stated above, though the technique may not have been the most effective choice, it was certainly unique. +1
5] Rules: No breaking of rules whatsoever. +2
6] Loopholes: You really didn’t use anything offered at all, since you took the underground approach. Though you did use the fact that it was on the bottom floor. +1

8/12 Pass.

Angel

1] Grammar and Spelling: Good spelling, good grammar. Only an error in your coloring code, but I won’t dock you for that +1
2] Description: Very good. I could effectively visualize what you were doing, and it was at a length that didn’t make it seem as if it was lacking. +3
3] Method: Entry was pretty simple, but the way you maneuvered about and located your target was very smart. The use of Magnetism was an excellent replacement for lock picking, not to mention a bit faster I’d assume. I think that the major flaw in your plan though would be, what would happen if that guard had caught on? Though there may have only been five guards on that particular floor, a sudden cry that there was someone in the mansion likely would have alerted the rest on the upper floor. Aside from that, you pulled this off quite well. +2
4] Originality: Your way of getting into the building may not have been the most creative, but how you actually found your target will get you the full score here. +1
5] Rules: Unfortunately you auto-hit and godmodded. Despite how amusing that godmodding was, I can’t award anything here. +0
6] Loopholes: The addition of the window was actually quite nice. If the details aren’t stated, you’re thus free to assume things.I also like how you used the detail of lax security to your advantage. +2

9/12 Pass

Kang

1] Grammar and Spelling: You hit one of my pet peeves in writing, and that is not capitalizing ‘I’s. Also some run-on sentences, and misusage of some words, along with typos. Proof reading is a good thing. +0
2] Description: Even with the problems in the actual typing process, I could effectively grasp what you were doing. However, I think things would have flowed a lot better had you taken care of the things stated at number one. +2
3] Method: You… Broke… the mansion The snapping of the chains was iffy, because I believe something like that would be heard, and the stealing of the guards clothing was smart. However… I believe, were another guard to see you, they would have recognized you as the prisoner and not the guard himself. There’s also the possibility that those clothes wouldn’t have fit, and unless you can manipulate your voice in just the right manner, they probably would have caught you that way. A simple Henge would have been much more effective.

And you took out the mansion! T_T While I will admit that would certainly prevent people from following you, how can you be sure that that wasn’t some kind of significant marking? You could really get your village into some deep stuff if you don’t mind what you’re ripping apart. +1
4] Originality: Flashy Maybe not the stealthiest manner of escape, but… creative. +1
5] Rules: Auto-hits, and minor godmodding. Gotta dock a bit for that. +1
6] Loopholes: No real usage of anything that wasn’t obvious, but there also wasn’t much offered. I won’t dock you here +2

7/12 Sorry, but you won’t be moving on.

Nirashi

1] Grammar and Spelling: Nicely done. No errors. +1
2] Description: Well written, good details. +3
3] Method: Though such a loud entrance wouldn’t be my personal method of choice, I can see that it also worked as an effective distraction. It was successful for getting yourself inside and around, but I noticed a few flaws.
The first being the rain. Sand and rain really don’t mix the best, and I believe if you tried to use that kind of jutsu in such torrential weather, you’d have a bit of a problem. Not a major drawback, but it would probably make sand manipulation more difficult.

The next is that it seemed like you completely disregarded the fact that there was someone else after the scroll, dismissing the whole possibility of conflict by saying ‘I got there first.’ The reason for such a scenario was to see how well you can complete your goal, yet make it more difficult for others that may have their eye on the same prize. I was expecting to see traps or tricks of some sort, and was given nothing. +1
4] Originality: Getting inside the mansion via sand manipulation was quite original. +1
5] Rules: You did a single auto-hit, which is a no-no. Repeated ones would dock you, but since it was one, I’ll let it slide. +2
6] Loopholes: I was actually a bit sad to see you not use these to your advantage. You’re a sand user, correct? Taking those strong winds and using sand to blind the guards once you busted windows would have been much less obvious than multiple light bombs. +0

8/12 Passed.

To those that passed, Congrads and see you in round 2
