The results of the first round are as follows. The seven lowest scorers have failed, and will not be moving onward. Examiners will be posting those they have graded shortly.
YOYOSUKE 20/30 PASS
Quote:a.) You and your two teammates have been assigned a mission to warn a neighboring country about an impending attack from a mutual enemy of both villages. You have been given a scroll detailing the counter-attack plans, and have been tasked not to read it. The scroll is in your possession. Two days away from your home village you are attacked by shinobi, vastly superior to yourself, allied with said enemy. These shinobi capture one of your teammates. They take your teammate to their hideout, to interrogate and torture them, and most likely kill them when they have finished with them. The enemy hideout is one day away from you. The village you are to warn lies one day in the other direction. The enemy attack takes place in two days. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
Answer: Teammate A has been captured by vastly superior shinobi allied with the enemy. Teammate B and Yoyo would still be alive, both already pondering the two situations they needed to resolve. Yoyo and Teammate B would debate over which was their primary objective, saving thousands of people’s lives by delivering the scroll or saving their other Teammate. After a long discussion Yoyo and Teammate B would come to the conclusion that millions of lives were more valuable than one, but they would also have figured out a counter plan to get their friend back. Since there were two directions and they were the only two they’d figure they each could go to a different place. Yoyo would decide to find his friend while Teammate B decided to deliver the scroll, but before they’d do so they’d begin to ponder the things the kidnappers might want in exchange for their friend, which in any case would had have to been the scroll. Yoyo would ask Teammate B for one of his blank scrolls, and some utensils (paint, ribbons, etc) to use to disguise the scroll to look just like that of the enemy scrolls. On the inside Yoyo would draw up a fake plan so that it wasn’t just blank when they opened it. After they had done this Teammate B would give Yoyo a walkie talkie so that if the plan succeeded or failed they could communicate, but before that he’d turn it off until it was complete. (Teammate B was to go to the other village and get reinforcements and deliver the scroll) Yoyo would then follow the signs of struggle on the ground to eventually find the location of the hideout. After he sighted it he’d create a wooden clone to take his place and give the clone a few light bombs as well as the scroll. After doing so he’d creep around the other side using henge to take the form as a snake. Once he took the form he’d find some way into the hideout without being noticed, preferably a hole or crack and capture sight of where his friend was, when he captured sight, he’d wait for as long as he could until signaling his clone to shout. After waiting as long as he could however he’d signal by running to the entrance and giving his appearance to the clone, the wooden clone would then shout as loud as it could to get the attention of the kidnappers while Yoyo (as the snake) would travel back to his usual position to wait until the perfect time to capture his friend. Once the kidnappers found out that they were spotted (by the yell), they’d rush outside to see who in fact had found them. Whilst they ran outside Yoyo (as a snake) would find the opening to his friend as the clone offered the scroll to them, once he had caught one or some of the kidnappers off guard he’d throw the light bomb. If in fact all the kidnappers did not come out at once, the mention of the scroll as well as the shrieks or screams of sudden shock or pain, would lead the other kidnappers to think that they were in need. Once Yoyo (the snake) found himself in front of his friend he’d quickly cancel the jutsu and grab his friend whilst throwing a few smoke bombs behind him as he escaped through the back entrance in any way he could. Once him and his friend were out Yoyo would pull out his walkie talkie and begin communicating with Teammate B then they’d continue to run as fast as they could to their neighboring village to meet up with the reinforcements By the time the kidnappers found out that it was a wooden clone, a fake scroll, and a setup they would have already been gone.
Fin
Why I think this would Work?
I think this method would work because for one, the reason the kidnappers were chasing Yoyo, Teammate A and Teammate B was because the scroll they had was of much importance, so there only reason for kidnapping one of their teammates is because they wanted information as to where Yoyo and Teammate B were and where they could find the scroll. Also, the fact I think they want information on the scroll is that they (the kidnappers) don’t want anyone to have the attack plans and have to get it back any way they could, because they are possibly on a mission to retrieve the scroll in the first place. So, in all relation when the clone offers up the scroll, they all know it is of importance and they all know it could be the deciding factor in the attack, so they would all rush out because they had to retrieve it in any way possible. Plus, even if they hadn’t all gone out, the screams emitted from the few that did come out would have gained attention of any of the others that had went outside whilst leaving the boy inside because the scroll is outside and he was of no importance if in fact the real scroll was outside. Another reason why this would work is because, they had to take the time to get their vision back, find out the clone is only wood, and they also have to find out that the scroll is fake. And if they don’t know the contents of the inside, how could they possibly know that the scroll isn’t the real one? And if they had known the real plans, reinforcements would have had time to meet up with Yoyo and Teammate A because Yoyo waited as long as he could have in order to draw time.

Quote:b.) Your Jounin Sensei has lost their mind, and has taken one of your two teammates as a hostage. You and your remaining teammate track down your sensei, but arrive long before any reinforcements will. You arrive to find your teammate bound and immobilized, with your sensei holding a kunai to their neck and threatening to kill them unless you murdered your remaining teammate. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
Answer: Teammate A has been captured by Yoyo and Teammate B’s sensei. Supposedly he has gone crazy and no one can figure out why. Word gets out that this has happened and reinforcements are told to come but not long before Yoyo and Teammate B have found their sensei and Teammate A in a rural area (you didn’t specify where they were so I made up a place). The Jounin sensei has told Yoyo to murder Teammate B or else Teammate A will die. Yoyo would run through his mind the possible solutions, and in every way which this could go. He would already have the plan, since his Jounin sensei was in one position he’d make sure that he would use the art of the valentine technique to capture him in a mind trance, but not before he put on a show before that. Yoyo would begin to strike Teammate B, moving around whilst doing so, defending, striking and even taking hits so that it looked like he wasn’t playing around. As Yoyo would probably move in creative (like chess, maneuvering in certain directions so that he could place Teammate B where he wanted) ways to get Teammate B in front of him, he’d begin to move closer to the Jounin so he had a better aim. They’d fight as long as they could, because their speed and strength was what they had to use the most to ensure that it looked like they were trying to kill each other. After a while he’d finally have his opening and Yoyo wouldn’t hesitate to use it once it was in play. He’d probably wink to Teammate B to make sure that his teammate wasn’t still in the dark about him not really trying to kill him, he’d also kneel and make the oval hand seal throw throw his mind towards his Jounin-sensei. Since his Teammate B would have seen the hand sign, he would have immediately jumped backwards or sideways in whichever direction whilst swinging his weapon to make it seem like they were still fighting. When and if he had taken control he would have but seconds to mobilize the body. Since he would have become in the Art of the Valentine, he would have little time to control his sensei’s body since he was of such a higher rank, but he wouldn’t hesitate to scream “knock me out!” loud enough for his Teammate B to hear if he had caught onto his sensei with the technique. Once the Teammate B caught onto what he was saying he’d quickly do so as instructed and the Jounin-sensei would become knocked out as would Yoyo, and their Teammate A would be in the clear and the reinforcements would have gotten there soon.
Fin
Why I think this would Work?
I think this would be the best possible solution out of many because one, if I am kneeling and casting a sign, all the Jounin would see was Teammate B jumping and swinging his sword downwards while Yoyo stood kneeling. If in fact this is all he had seen and the technique had not gone through, then it would only look as if Yoyo had died because if the Art of the Valentine doesn’t go through then the user automatically passes out. I tried other possible solutions, but they all end up to death of Teammate A. One solution being that you try and attack the sensei, all he would do is overpower them and possibly kill them all since the help wasn’t there yet. Another possibility is that they get closer and Yoyo throws a kunai towards the jounin and they end up capturing Teammate A, yet they still have to fend off for themselves, and against a senile Jounin the possibilities are the Genin will die. Another reason this would work, is because time was a factor, and it was wasted on the battle which gave reinforcements lots of time to get there.

Quote:c.) You and your team of four others has been dispatched on a mission to find and capture a ninja, of superior skill level, whose abilities are known to you. Said ninja is accompanied by four other ninja of skill levels slightly superior to you and your team-members. All of them are prepared to use deadly force, as you are authorized to do so as well. The mission has no restrictions placed on it. You are to take down the foe and his comrades by any means needed. Each team contains two Genjutsu Specialists, Two Ninjutsu Specialists, as well as yourself on your team and a Taijutsu Master on the other team. The one you seek to capture is the Taijutsu Master. The others must be killed. Devise the quickest, most effective strategy towards killing and capturing your targets with the least number of fatalities.
Genjutsu Specialist A, Genjutsu Specialist B, Taijutsu Specialist A, Taijutsu Specialist B, and Yoyo would first split out in a long spread line, one behind the other as they slowly travelled behind the Taijutsu master and his squad. Yoyo and his squad would probably wait until after the team would stop to rest, which would most likely be at night in the forest when the most noise was going on (animals in the wild). Yoyo would also make it clear for the Genjutsu specialists to both use the invisibility sphere to make themselves invisible to those outside of the sphere. The ninjutsu specialists A and B would use the quiet game to buffer the sound away from them so that it sounded further away than usual, and at such a distance that it was probably silent to the enemies ears. Since they were all now so close, they could discuss their next course of plans. Yoyo would probably give the idea that they should get information from one of them, so that they could tell which one’s were stronger and what type of skills they had. Yoyo would wait for one of them to urinate, and while they were stable he’d have the perfect opportunity to cast Art of the Valentine onto him. Once doing so he could make this person speechless, motionless while he searched through their mind for information. Though, once the information was obtained he’d proceed to making the user run towards one of his friends and attack them. At this same time the genjutsu specialists would get on opposite ends of the area. Genjutsu specialist A would begin to use the sly mind affect as far as he could do so while Genjutsu specialist B made Hydrou bunshins of each of them to confuse them even more so that eventually the taijutsu specialists and master could tire and become confused as to what was happening. Taijutsu Specialist A and B ran around in opposite circles to confuse the group so that they had no sense in the direction of the attack, it was to also to get the enemy to get up and chase around so that they could get tired faster as the sly mind effect took place. Yoyo would probably remain in his place and scream the attack word and each one of them except the genjutsu specialists would begin to throw out smoke and light bombs at once. Once they had gone off, they’d proceed to throwing all the projectiles they could manage whilst the genjutsu specialists A and B kept on with their genjutsu. Much of like a sabotage, the enemy would become blinded and confused as to where they were going and become pelted by shuriken and kunai all at top speeds. Because most of the projectiles would probably be thrown with exploding tags, they would all activate at the same time splitting shrapnel into all of their bodies (the enemy). With that many projectiles and exploding tags going off however, most of the shinobi would either faint or come outside of the smoke blinded, where Yoyo’s teammates would probably kill them off gate. Once everyone except for the taijutsu master was killed Yoyo would probably proceed to also casting the sly mind affect onto his opponent, confusing him to an even bigger extent. Once two sly mind affects were in play however the Genjutsu specialist B would already have his Hydrou bunshins acting as if they were attacking the Tai master. Once and if the taijutsu master would attack the bunshins they would begin to multiply creating circles around him, and once that happened, the taijutsu specialists A and B now would have the chance to knock the Taijutsu master out by sneaking up to him (because of the numbers of bunshins by now and sly mind affect in, there would be much possibility for this) and knocking him out by any force necessary (rocks, fists, etc. ). Once the Taijutsu master was indeed knocked out, they would have him tied up multiple times. After it was done they (Yoyo’s team) would probably take it so far as to keep knocking him out every time he woke up. It wouldn’t take much time with 5 people carrying his body to get back to their village so that he could be arrested.
Why I think this would work?
The element of surprise is more of why I think this would work. Because of the fact that everyone goes to opposite ends and begins to do different things whilst at the same time, smoke bombs, light bombs and metallic projectiles with exploding tags are thrown onto the enemy is why I think that it could work best. For one, once the smoke and light bombs go off, everyone scatters so that it is a confusing situation, no one knows where the smoke bombs are coming from. Also, the taijutsu specialists are running in circles around their position (not right around them, but around where they are all standing) so they have no idea where anything is coming from at this point. The genjutsu specialists already have the advantage over the taijutsu specialists and masters because of the sly mind affect, which casues them to run in circles when chasing someone in the first place. Whilst these explosions and such are going off, giving even more of a confusion because they are all coming from different places, at the same time the enemy would be running around trying to find people while shrapnel and projectiles are stabbing into them, not to mention genjutsu is already messing with them. At the same time though, if they are getting hit and still escaping the smoke, they are still blinded, and even if not blinded they are being struck down as soon as they are seen by Yoyo’s team. The taijutsu master, even at a higher level, is more susceptible to genjutsu because he has no way of getting away from it if he has no chakra to tap it out with so the hydrou bunshins and the sly mind affect would have already been driving him crazy by the first time he had attacked something. At this time of confusion and killing he would have been struck down by the taijutsu masters, as they are both on opposite ends just to confuse him (not to mention sly mind affect is still in use) while the hydrou bunshins are surrounding him so it gives them the perfect opportunity to do so. This is exactly why I think it would work, it’s because there is so much confusion going on, that you can’t really tell where to attack or where to run, and if you do run, you are going to get struck down by either the taijutsu specialists running in circles or Yoyo.

APPLE 21/30 PASS
Ishi picks up a nearby pencil and eraser, and begins to write, placing the end of the pen on her lips a few times in a thinking pose, pondering as to what she would do if she was in the situations.
Ishi then places the Pen to the page, and begins to write.
---------------
a.)]
If I was in this situation, and the enemy had kidnapped one of my teammates, while there was a scroll to be delivered to the neighbouring country, the first thing I would do was plan what we were going to do, of course.
I would send the strongest of the two left (Lets say, in this situation it was my team-mate) to take the scroll to the neighbouring country, and deliver it to the Kage of the village and warn them about the attack and the kidnapping. I would send the strongest Nin with the scroll, because if the enemy would approach, and me, being the weakest nin, they might overwhelm me and would kill me, they would be able to take the scroll and read it, then make plans themselves, and the neighbouring country wouldn’t know about the attack or the counter-attack plans.
For, if the two of us went to deliver the scroll, out teammate would probably be killed in the process of interrogating, and he or she might tell them that we were going to warn the country about the attack, although there would also be a chance that he or she wouldn’t say anything, but would get killed for not saying anything.
So it would be best to send the stronger Nin with the scroll, since it is more important for the neighbouring village to know about the attack, and to be able to form an army to fight against the opponents once they come. My team-mate would then come back as quickly as possible-the scroll now in the safe possession of the village Kage-with some strong re-enforcements
And a medic nin to help us if we would need any help in healing our members, or our team-mate, and then ask him and them
to come and aid us in retrieving out kidnapped team-member, and to attack the enemies’ hideout, due to the fact that if we could kill the villains before they start to attack, it would help greatly, or stall them.
I then go to the hideout, and, if both me and the other team-mate (Not the one who is kidnapped) have communicators, I would request that my team-mate should give the communicator to the Kage or the person who is in charge of planning to secure the country, I would spy on the hideout secretly from a safe area, looking at what they might be planning to do, for instance, if they were planning to send in people who had great skill at a certain art, for instance, fire release, I would tell whoever has the other communicator to send in people who are skilled at water release, and so on.
If there was a chance that the enemy would change their mind about the current plans, since I would be able to see the hideout, I would be able to spy on their actions, and find out what they were planning next, and able to tell the neighbouring country of the new attack. When my fellow team-mate would come, with the re-enforcements, and we will infiltrate the hideout, killing as many of the enemy as we can, and hopefully finding our teammate in the process, while the medic nin would be able to help heal us if we would get hurt in the fight..
This is the best available for me because I believe that it will work out better this way, due to the fact that the scroll will be delivered to the neighbouring country, giving them the ability to be ready for the attack, and it would be able for us to send people towards the base of the enemy for an attack, while I spy on them and report on the doings of the enemy while they are preparing. Our team-mate might get killed, but if I would enter the base to try and save him, or her, there would be a good chance that I would be killed in the process due to it being a hideout, therefore they wouldn’t have a person to spy on the base. Although, I am unsure of my answer, since there are quite a lot of possibilities of what you could do in this situation.
---------------
b.)]
To save either of my teammates from being hurt, the first thing I would do is take a few moments to look at the situation, and then go forwards to try and save them with my best guess as to what would be the best thing to do.
I think that the best course of action would be to quickly body flicker behind my Sensei, and quickly give her or him a quick blow to the back of the neck, a well known pressure point. This would hopefully render my teacher unconscious, and give us some time to save our friend. We’d both quickly work at untying our teammate, with the help of the rope untying technique, and free them.
Then, to make sure that there would be no weapons, we begin to take the weapons found in my teacher’s weapon pouches and utility pouches, to make sure that if something happened, Sensei wouldn’t have any weapons to attack with.
We would then take the rope which was used to tie our teammate, and then tie it around our unconscious teacher; making sure to bind the arms away from each other to make sure that no handseals could be weaved if Sensei should become conscious once more. We would then wait for the reinforcements to come to us, and if our teacher should awake, she wouldn’t be able to move that much, or weave handseals due to the fact that she was bound together with rope, and therefore unable to do anything.
It is the best available for me because I think that the only way to swap this situation around would be to render our Sensei unconscious, so that we would be able to then continue along saving our friend. And by tying the teacher up, it would be pretty hard for them to escape without using handseals or weaponry. We would then monitor them, making sure that they wouldn’t try anything, and if we were forced to, threaten to place an exploding tag on their back, to possibly refrain them from moving a bit.
---------------
c.)]
If I was in the situation, I think the best strategy would be to..
Firstly, I would have my two genjutsu specialists send one Ninjutsu specialist and the Taijutsu master under a strong genjutsu, and then make two teams made up of one ninjutsu specialist and one genjutsu specialist to go and attack the taijutsu master, who is under the genjutsu, and I shall go and attack the ninjutsu specialist who is under genjutsu. The remaining ninjutsu specialist of my team will then attack the genjutsu, and the genjutsu specialist will attack the ninjutsu specialist who is left. Once we will be done with his comrades, we will then go ahead to finish off the taijutsu master.
Or we could firstly send the genjutsu Specialist towards the Taijutsu master to send them under a genjutsu which would paralyze him, or refrain him from moving somehow, while everyone else (Me, the remaining genjutsu specialist and the both ninjutsu specialists) go after the remaining people, and whoever manages to kill the enemy first then goes to help the genjutsu master with the Taijutsu master, or the other people. and quickly, once done with the other enemies, the others go and help, attempting to make him into an unconscious state of some sort, the genjutsu helping with this greatly.
If we were able to do this, we could then set forward to capturing the taijutsu master, to do this we would need to stop him from moving, if he would be to awake. By using some rope, or, even ninja wire, we could use it to wrap around them, and then use ninja tape over their mouth to refrain him from shouting. We could then, upon making sure that it he is securely tied up, walk back to our village with the Taijutsu master.
But there could be flaws in this plan because I’m not sure about how the killing parts would work out. We could either send one person after each one, but it might be hard since they would be better than us in power by a bit, or I think we could send two people after each one to deal with them quicker, then they could go on to the next one, and the next one, until only the taijutsu master is left, then we could all go and attack him, and then put him in an immobilized state.
Whatever way we should use, we would have to tie up the taijutsu master in some way, since due to his speed and skill at the art of taijutsu, if left untied or if we don’t tie him up in some way to bind him, he might break loose and flee. So I believe with dealing with him at the end of the fight is very important, or we might fail the task.
I also think that we should, if we have them, throw touch-sensitive exploding pouches on the backs of the genjutsu and ninjutsu specialist of the other team, choosing the upper back due to the fact that they would be placed on the spinal cord, which then leads to the brain. It could cut off the link with the spinal cord and the brain, rendering them dead. We would also choose them since they’re sticky, and create a bigger, better explosion. We could then set them off, but we might be trapped in the explosion also. So we could quickly use body flicker, if available, and run six metres or so away, then return to the fight to defeat the taijutsu master.
RUNESKA 10,10,9 = 29
a) I would first take a moment to lay out my options. As it stands, there lies very little chance of taking the enemy shinobi by force with just the two of us. This much was proven by the fact that they outclassed us enough to not only defeat us, but take one of us captive alive. In the given situation, the mission is above all else, most important. If the scrolls are not delivered, then neither village will be able to coordinate an effective counter attack. However, to abandon a team mate is above all else, an atrocious act, especially when information could potentially be leaked out. For that matter, I would entrust the scroll to my teammate that is not captured and have him continue the mission as planned. I would also have him request help from the other village . It would take at least two days for any reinforcements to arrive, assuming the other village did in fact send help. Durring that time, I’d spy on the enemy shinobi who have captured my team mate. If within the first day, they have not killed him, I will continue to observe and monitor the situation.
In the case that my team mates holds out until reinforcements from the other village gets here, I’d report to them, and with their help, we could stage a rescue of the team mate. Assuming the rescue attempt was successful, we’d simply head back to our village to report that the difficulty that he had with the mission and our request and such that lead to our team mate being returned injured but alive. Had the enemy shinobi tried to killed off my captured team mate before my interference had the chance to help, meaning during the first day when there would be no reinforcements or at a time where there was no point in trying to save them, then I’d have to let them die. After which, I would regrettably have to await for reinforcements to come, just to tell them the hostage is dead. We’d still likely take on the enemy ninja at this point, but the captured would be dead. After the enemy ninja were gone, I’d return back home and report the trouble and death to my kage, as well as the fact that the allied village received the plans on how to counter attack.
Now, the reason why in one of the scenarios, my team mate would have to die is because I only jeopardize the situation more if they are not already going to kill him. Should I jump in unprepared, outclasses, outnumbered, the chances are that even with a surprise attack, we’d either both be captured or both dead. At which point, the reinforcements that would arrive would have no idea of how to attack the enemy shinobi that have us. By waiting for the reinforcements to get close, if I’m going to have my mission completed and save my captured teammate, this way gives me the closest opportune path to both.
b) Without an estimated amount of time between my arrival getting there, and the reinforcements arriving, I would have to comply with my crazed sensei, or at least make it look like it. Given his current mental status, I would immediately engage in intense battle against my other teammate. Assuming we’re both of similar abilities, he’d fight back as aggressive as possible, because I would make it appear as though I meant to kill him. The fight between me and my teammate would continue in a very fierce and brutal manner as we slowly inched our way closer to our sensei. The fierce fight would continue between us until one of us were able to use a technique that would disarm our sensei without having to go out of our way make it look like it we were trying to harm him. I’d also make sure that our timing and distance at this time would place us far enough away from him to avoid suspicion but still allow us a means to act.
Then, my team mate and I would body flicker forward. He’d grab our injured teammate and make a run for it. At this point, I’d immediately shift my efforts from my teammate to the sensei, who would likely be ready to counter and attack. I’d take charge of battling my sensei while my the immobilized mate was taken somewhere safe. I’d then activate my kamyuja blood limit as a means to allow me to fight longer and stall until my team mate got back. Once that much was accomplished, we’d use as much time as possible to stall and defend. Given our sensei’s crazed mental state, we might be able to do a combination of talking while defending to distract him and reduce the strain of actually fighting. If it appears like talking would gain us no benefit, we’d resort to a combination of genjutsus and thunder techniques as a means to pick at what remaining senses our sensei has left, and perhaps paralyze and stun him. If our strategy proved affective, we’d continue on, stalling until anbu and other such village officials arrived. Once they arrived, we’d let them deal with it, being that they are the proper authorities on such an ordeal. We’d leave swiftly, recover our immobilized comrade and head to a hospital.
At no given time would we attempt to fight the crazed jounin to the death because in this circumstance, our main priority is to rescue our team mate and get out alive. The only reason I would remain behind and fight is because given my blood limit, I stand a good chance at living long enough for the situation to become stable. And being that this was our jounin sensei, I believe it would be safe to assume that we wouldn’t be able to take him in pure out force, being that he taught us and out ranks us. Stalling would have been the best chance.
c) Since the group we are fighting is stronger than us, a head on fight, assuming we won, would likely cost us the greatest amount of casualties. Instead, we would stalk and track the group for perhaps a day, waiting to familiarize ourselves with their routines and identities. Then, the genjutsu specialist in my team would create a genjutsu that would lure away one of their nin specialist. Assuming that this worked and the nin spec is alone, we’d quickly dispatch him, destroy the body and any evidence of his existence, then one of our gen spec would use a combination of henge and genjutsu to take the slain’s position in the group. Our ‘agent,’ so to speak, would act exactly as the enemy we’d dispatched and be charged with luring the other nin spec somewhere. At this point, we’d ambush and dispatch the nin spec, leaving two gen specialist and the tai master.
Again, our 2nd gen specialist would do something similar to the first, slipping into the group unnoticed as he returned to them with our other gen specialist who is also in disguise. With their two nin specialist disposed of, the remaining would offer very little long range resistance. Me and our two nin specialist would rush forward in plan sight of the five, two which are my gen specialist, and attack. When the nin specialists turned to defend themselves, my gen specialist would kill them with a knife to the back or slit throat (cliché I know.) Imediately, we’d all shift our attention to the tai master. I’d engage him directly while the nin specialist gave me cover. At this point, it would just be a matter of keeping the taimaster busy while the gen specialist both cast powerful genjutsu on him. The genjutsu would mentally subdue him, then we’d restrain him with ninja rope or something and escort him to wherever we should be taking him.
To make sure that the Tai master cannot escape or break through the ropes, the genjutsu specialist would take turns casting various genjutsu on him to keep his mind from reacting to us, and the nin specialist would drain his chakra with the chakra absorption technique every half hour or so. By draining his chakra every so often, it prevents him from being able to use chakra to break the rope and such, and sense having low amounts of chakra typically fatigues and causes loss of conscious in some cases, he’d be effectively immobilized while we took him in.
BALMUNG 6,8,5 = 19
a.) You and your two teammates have been assigned a mission to warn a neighboring country about an impending attack from a mutual enemy of both villages. You have been given a scroll detailing the counter-attack plans, and have been tasked not to read it. The scroll is in your possession. Two days away from your home village you are attacked by shinobi, vastly superior to yourself, allied with said enemy. These shinobi capture one of your teammates. They take your teammate to their hideout, to interrogate and torture them, and most likely kill them when they have finished with them. The enemy hideout is one day away from you. The village you are to warn lies one day in the other direction. The enemy attack takes place in two days. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
I would go to save my partner and have my other teammate give the scroll to the village, and tell him to bring reinforcements. I would get to the hide out in less of a day. By using Ice skate jutsu and body flicker to get there. Combine with 7 body flickers I able to use, and the ice skating jutsu, I would arrived there in less than day at least. Next, once I get to their hideout, create some traps around the area, and then I would create a distraction in opposite direction of my location. Once a few of the enemy leaves, I would enter from a window. Most likely, there is still some enemy inside to keep guard. I would create an ice needle with my blood limit to cut my opponent ropes around my ally (if there’s rope to keep him place) next, I would use the water whip jutsu to grab hold of my teammate and pulled him over to me quickly. Then I would make my escape with my teammate to and go warn to next village. With the traps I set up, it should slow down my enemy at least enough to make it too the village.
b.) Your Jounin Sensei has lost their mind, and has taken one of your two teammates as a hostage. You and your remaining teammate track down your sensei, but arrive long before any reinforcements will. You arrive to find your teammate bound and immobilized, with your sensei holding a kunai to their neck and threatening to kill them unless you murdered your remaining teammate. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
I would fight my ally, but not going all out on him, but at the same time, not holding too much back. I would fight much as I can, to buy some time as I can to figure out on how I would save them. I would try to draw our fight as close as I can to him without making him nervous to kill the other teammate. Once I have gotten close, I would send needle with a bell on it next to my former sensei, charge with my chakra (Illusion Bell Needles), but when thrown it, I would make it look like I was trying to hit my teammate. Unfortunately, this would also affect my ally’s. Once I notice it has affected them, I would quickly make my move while my sensei is effect by the genjutsu. First, removing the knife, next with my teammate help, we would get our partner and then retreat and get reinforcements. With the former hostages affected by the genjutsu and still shaken up, they are in no condition to fight. Also, with me and my teammate just got done fighting each other, no one is in condition to fight him. So, retreating would be the best course of action, and hopeful, the ANBU be able to track him down, and take him out for his action, or arrest him.
c.) You and your team of four others has been dispatched on a mission to find and capture a ninja, of superior skill level, whose abilities are known to you. Said ninja is accompanied by four other ninja of skill levels slightly superior to you and your team-members. All of them are prepared to use deadly force, as you are authorized to do so as well. The mission has no restrictions placed on it. You are to take down the foe and his comrades by any means needed. Each team contains two Genjutsu Specialists, Two Ninjutsu Specialists, as well as yourself on your team and a Taijutsu Master on the other team. The one you seek to capture is the Taijutsu Master. The others must be killed. Devise the quickest, most effective strategy towards killing and capturing your targets with the least number of fatalities.
Well, first thing person I would try to take down would be the genjutsu’s specialists. I would have my team attack them while I stayed back for support. By using my Azure frozen gem jutsu, I would block the attacks of the other enemies attacks while they attack the genjutsu specialists. With my teammates using each other as support, they could get out of their genjust, like making their opponent move or shake the user to get out of the genjutsu. While I’m behind supporting, blocking attacks with my shield, even if giving the ninjutsu’s specialists use a high level attacks that would break my shields, they would have to keep using it over and over. The taijutsu master would have little or no choice but to stay back that’s to the fact my shield can be only melt down by fire jutsu. With this, he would tire himself out. Even if the taijutsu master tries to attack while my shield is down for a moment, I would use Kazepusshu to push him back. By keep repeating this strategy on the other two, we would win the fight with out any of my teammates being killed. Same way when capturing the taijutsu master.
Ishi then places the Pen to the page, and begins to write.
---------------
a.)]
If I was in this situation, and the enemy had kidnapped one of my teammates, while there was a scroll to be delivered to the neighbouring country, the first thing I would do was plan what we were going to do, of course.
I would send the strongest of the two left (Lets say, in this situation it was my team-mate) to take the scroll to the neighbouring country, and deliver it to the Kage of the village and warn them about the attack and the kidnapping. I would send the strongest Nin with the scroll, because if the enemy would approach, and me, being the weakest nin, they might overwhelm me and would kill me, they would be able to take the scroll and read it, then make plans themselves, and the neighbouring country wouldn’t know about the attack or the counter-attack plans.
For, if the two of us went to deliver the scroll, out teammate would probably be killed in the process of interrogating, and he or she might tell them that we were going to warn the country about the attack, although there would also be a chance that he or she wouldn’t say anything, but would get killed for not saying anything.
So it would be best to send the stronger Nin with the scroll, since it is more important for the neighbouring village to know about the attack, and to be able to form an army to fight against the opponents once they come. My team-mate would then come back as quickly as possible-the scroll now in the safe possession of the village Kage-with some strong re-enforcements
And a medic nin to help us if we would need any help in healing our members, or our team-mate, and then ask him and them
to come and aid us in retrieving out kidnapped team-member, and to attack the enemies’ hideout, due to the fact that if we could kill the villains before they start to attack, it would help greatly, or stall them.
I then go to the hideout, and, if both me and the other team-mate (Not the one who is kidnapped) have communicators, I would request that my team-mate should give the communicator to the Kage or the person who is in charge of planning to secure the country, I would spy on the hideout secretly from a safe area, looking at what they might be planning to do, for instance, if they were planning to send in people who had great skill at a certain art, for instance, fire release, I would tell whoever has the other communicator to send in people who are skilled at water release, and so on.
If there was a chance that the enemy would change their mind about the current plans, since I would be able to see the hideout, I would be able to spy on their actions, and find out what they were planning next, and able to tell the neighbouring country of the new attack. When my fellow team-mate would come, with the re-enforcements, and we will infiltrate the hideout, killing as many of the enemy as we can, and hopefully finding our teammate in the process, while the medic nin would be able to help heal us if we would get hurt in the fight..
This is the best available for me because I believe that it will work out better this way, due to the fact that the scroll will be delivered to the neighbouring country, giving them the ability to be ready for the attack, and it would be able for us to send people towards the base of the enemy for an attack, while I spy on them and report on the doings of the enemy while they are preparing. Our team-mate might get killed, but if I would enter the base to try and save him, or her, there would be a good chance that I would be killed in the process due to it being a hideout, therefore they wouldn’t have a person to spy on the base. Although, I am unsure of my answer, since there are quite a lot of possibilities of what you could do in this situation.

To save either of my teammates from being hurt, the first thing I would do is take a few moments to look at the situation, and then go forwards to try and save them with my best guess as to what would be the best thing to do.
I think that the best course of action would be to quickly body flicker behind my Sensei, and quickly give her or him a quick blow to the back of the neck, a well known pressure point.

We’d both quickly work at untying our teammate, with the help of the rope untying technique, and free them.

We would then take the rope which was used to tie our teammate, and then tie it around our unconscious teacher; making sure to bind the arms away from each other to make sure that no handseals could be weaved if Sensei should become conscious once more. We would then wait for the reinforcements to come to us, and if our teacher should awake, she wouldn’t be able to move that much, or weave handseals due to the fact that she was bound together with rope, and therefore unable to do anything.
It is the best available for me because I think that the only way to swap this situation around would be to render our Sensei unconscious, so that we would be able to then continue along saving our friend. And by tying the teacher up, it would be pretty hard for them to escape without using handseals or weaponry. We would then monitor them, making sure that they wouldn’t try anything, and if we were forced to, threaten to place an exploding tag on their back, to possibly refrain them from moving a bit.

c.)]
If I was in the situation, I think the best strategy would be to..
Firstly, I would have my two genjutsu specialists send one Ninjutsu specialist and the Taijutsu master under a strong genjutsu, and then make two teams made up of one ninjutsu specialist and one genjutsu specialist to go and attack the taijutsu master, who is under the genjutsu, and I shall go and attack the ninjutsu specialist who is under genjutsu. The remaining ninjutsu specialist of my team will then attack the genjutsu, and the genjutsu specialist will attack the ninjutsu specialist who is left. Once we will be done with his comrades, we will then go ahead to finish off the taijutsu master.
Or we could firstly send the genjutsu Specialist towards the Taijutsu master to send them under a genjutsu which would paralyze him, or refrain him from moving somehow, while everyone else (Me, the remaining genjutsu specialist and the both ninjutsu specialists) go after the remaining people, and whoever manages to kill the enemy first then goes to help the genjutsu master with the Taijutsu master, or the other people. and quickly, once done with the other enemies, the others go and help, attempting to make him into an unconscious state of some sort, the genjutsu helping with this greatly.
If we were able to do this, we could then set forward to capturing the taijutsu master, to do this we would need to stop him from moving, if he would be to awake. By using some rope, or, even ninja wire, we could use it to wrap around them, and then use ninja tape over their mouth to refrain him from shouting. We could then, upon making sure that it he is securely tied up, walk back to our village with the Taijutsu master.
But there could be flaws in this plan because I’m not sure about how the killing parts would work out. We could either send one person after each one, but it might be hard since they would be better than us in power by a bit, or I think we could send two people after each one to deal with them quicker, then they could go on to the next one, and the next one, until only the taijutsu master is left, then we could all go and attack him, and then put him in an immobilized state.
Whatever way we should use, we would have to tie up the taijutsu master in some way, since due to his speed and skill at the art of taijutsu, if left untied or if we don’t tie him up in some way to bind him, he might break loose and flee. So I believe with dealing with him at the end of the fight is very important, or we might fail the task.
I also think that we should, if we have them, throw touch-sensitive exploding pouches on the backs of the genjutsu and ninjutsu specialist of the other team, choosing the upper back due to the fact that they would be placed on the spinal cord, which then leads to the brain. It could cut off the link with the spinal cord and the brain, rendering them dead. We would also choose them since they’re sticky, and create a bigger, better explosion. We could then set them off, but we might be trapped in the explosion also. So we could quickly use body flicker, if available, and run six metres or so away, then return to the fight to defeat the taijutsu master.

Assuming that this worked and the nin spec is alone, we’d quickly dispatch him, destroy the body and any evidence of his existence, then one of our gen spec would use a combination of henge and genjutsu to take the slain’s position in the group. Our ‘agent,’ so to speak, would act exactly as the enemy we’d dispatched and be charged with luring the other nin spec somewhere. At this point, we’d ambush and dispatch the nin spec, leaving two gen specialist and the tai master.
Again, our 2nd gen specialist would do something similar to the first, slipping into the group unnoticed as he returned to them with our other gen specialist who is also in disguise. With their two nin specialist disposed of, the remaining would offer very little long range resistance. Me and our two nin specialist would rush forward in plan sight of the five, two which are my gen specialist, and attack. When the nin specialists turned to defend themselves, my gen specialist would kill them with a knife to the back or slit throat (cliché I know.) Imediately, we’d all shift our attention to the tai master. I’d engage him directly while the nin specialist gave me cover. At this point, it would just be a matter of keeping the taimaster busy while the gen specialist both cast powerful genjutsu on him. The genjutsu would mentally subdue him, then we’d restrain him with ninja rope or something and escort him to wherever we should be taking him.
To make sure that the Tai master cannot escape or break through the ropes, the genjutsu specialist would take turns casting various genjutsu on him to keep his mind from reacting to us, and the nin specialist would drain his chakra with the chakra absorption technique every half hour or so. By draining his chakra every so often, it prevents him from being able to use chakra to break the rope and such, and sense having low amounts of chakra typically fatigues and causes loss of conscious in some cases, he’d be effectively immobilized while we took him in.
BALMUNG 6,8,5 = 19
a.) You and your two teammates have been assigned a mission to warn a neighboring country about an impending attack from a mutual enemy of both villages. You have been given a scroll detailing the counter-attack plans, and have been tasked not to read it. The scroll is in your possession. Two days away from your home village you are attacked by shinobi, vastly superior to yourself, allied with said enemy. These shinobi capture one of your teammates. They take your teammate to their hideout, to interrogate and torture them, and most likely kill them when they have finished with them. The enemy hideout is one day away from you. The village you are to warn lies one day in the other direction. The enemy attack takes place in two days. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
I would go to save my partner and have my other teammate give the scroll to the village, and tell him to bring reinforcements. I would get to the hide out in less of a day. By using Ice skate jutsu and body flicker to get there. Combine with 7 body flickers I able to use, and the ice skating jutsu, I would arrived there in less than day at least. Next, once I get to their hideout, create some traps around the area, and then I would create a distraction in opposite direction of my location. Once a few of the enemy leaves, I would enter from a window. Most likely, there is still some enemy inside to keep guard. I would create an ice needle with my blood limit to cut my opponent ropes around my ally (if there’s rope to keep him place) next, I would use the water whip jutsu to grab hold of my teammate and pulled him over to me quickly. Then I would make my escape with my teammate to and go warn to next village. With the traps I set up, it should slow down my enemy at least enough to make it too the village.
b.) Your Jounin Sensei has lost their mind, and has taken one of your two teammates as a hostage. You and your remaining teammate track down your sensei, but arrive long before any reinforcements will. You arrive to find your teammate bound and immobilized, with your sensei holding a kunai to their neck and threatening to kill them unless you murdered your remaining teammate. Detail the best course of action and explain why it is the best available to you.
I would fight my ally, but not going all out on him, but at the same time, not holding too much back. I would fight much as I can, to buy some time as I can to figure out on how I would save them. I would try to draw our fight as close as I can to him without making him nervous to kill the other teammate. Once I have gotten close, I would send needle with a bell on it next to my former sensei, charge with my chakra (Illusion Bell Needles), but when thrown it, I would make it look like I was trying to hit my teammate. Unfortunately, this would also affect my ally’s. Once I notice it has affected them, I would quickly make my move while my sensei is effect by the genjutsu. First, removing the knife, next with my teammate help, we would get our partner and then retreat and get reinforcements. With the former hostages affected by the genjutsu and still shaken up, they are in no condition to fight. Also, with me and my teammate just got done fighting each other, no one is in condition to fight him. So, retreating would be the best course of action, and hopeful, the ANBU be able to track him down, and take him out for his action, or arrest him.
c.) You and your team of four others has been dispatched on a mission to find and capture a ninja, of superior skill level, whose abilities are known to you. Said ninja is accompanied by four other ninja of skill levels slightly superior to you and your team-members. All of them are prepared to use deadly force, as you are authorized to do so as well. The mission has no restrictions placed on it. You are to take down the foe and his comrades by any means needed. Each team contains two Genjutsu Specialists, Two Ninjutsu Specialists, as well as yourself on your team and a Taijutsu Master on the other team. The one you seek to capture is the Taijutsu Master. The others must be killed. Devise the quickest, most effective strategy towards killing and capturing your targets with the least number of fatalities.
Well, first thing person I would try to take down would be the genjutsu’s specialists. I would have my team attack them while I stayed back for support. By using my Azure frozen gem jutsu, I would block the attacks of the other enemies attacks while they attack the genjutsu specialists. With my teammates using each other as support, they could get out of their genjust, like making their opponent move or shake the user to get out of the genjutsu. While I’m behind supporting, blocking attacks with my shield, even if giving the ninjutsu’s specialists use a high level attacks that would break my shields, they would have to keep using it over and over. The taijutsu master would have little or no choice but to stay back that’s to the fact my shield can be only melt down by fire jutsu. With this, he would tire himself out. Even if the taijutsu master tries to attack while my shield is down for a moment, I would use Kazepusshu to push him back. By keep repeating this strategy on the other two, we would win the fight with out any of my teammates being killed. Same way when capturing the taijutsu master.
AKEMI 30/30 PASS
Scenario A.
It was a brutal situation.
She'd never been one for authority, but in this particular case, when not only her own village was in danger, but a neighboring village also was, she would fall victim to one of the most ancient of arts: chivalry, but only because her Kage had requested such a thing. What was also a surprise: she had been trusted with scrolls that harbored planned future actions of both villages to counter this "danger", and had been ordered to keep it in her possession, and her possession only, and to keep her eyes in vain. Obediantly, had she not nodded, said 'yes, sir', and left?
Not exactly. Once she had gotten the location of the neighboring country's village from her Kage, she had left through Suna's gates, two teammates accompanying her on this important journey. She hadn't known either of them very well, but as fellow shinobi, already a great deal of respect and pride had been endowed upon them. They had been traveling for two days, when they were ambushed by a group of the enemy's shinobi that had clearly made it known of their superiority to the child's team by capturing one third of it; Akemi had been lucky to have kept the scrolls, however.
What was so fierce about her dilemna, though? Well she knew this: by the way they had threatened the death of her teammate upon his kidnapping, she knew it was only a matter of time before her fellow "Suna spartan" would meet his untimely demise. Whilst traveling two days, and other beneficial knowledge, she knew that her comrade's kidnapper's hideout was one day away from her location, and the village she was to warn lay one day in the opposite direction. But yet again, it comes back to reality: the most important objective was to keep her village and it's inhabitants safe.
That meant that when it came to her priorities, in a list they would be: Suna, her comrade, and then to warn the neighboring village. However, as a dignified kunoichi, she had to at least put an effort in heeding the foreign country. Ugh, she thought, her slender figure rather beaten and bruised after her previous battle. The option of risking the safe arrival of the scrolls was a strong possibility within her mind; with her remaining teammate having hawk summons, it would be easy to transport them, and they would reach the village at an even earlier time than what had been expected.
With that said, she also knew that the option of exchanging these scrolls for her kidnapped teammate was also probable, but not as strong. Her lost comrade had been a shinobi, after all; he'd chosen his proffesion, knowing that it would include the unecessary curse of his own murder and other common sorrows. And yet, he was a part of Suna; he was more important than some foreign village, no matter the challenged quantity of innocent lives at stake. "Alright," she called, gesturing for her comrade to come hither.
"You saw how good those bastards were," she remarked, her comrade nodding. "Yea," she almost laughed. "We barely got away with our lives." Her countenance was abruptly graced with a strong mask yet again, the atmosphere eerily silent with her potential caliber. "If either one of us goes back there to get him, they're going to kill us. Dead." She walked a few paces to her right, in the direction where the neighboring village lay, and looked skyward. "One of our goals is not to go running back to Suna crying like babies. One of our goals entails us reaching our allied village," and she handed over the scrolls to her remaining comrade, shock etched upon his features.
While the scrolls were to only be in her sole possession, she would have to disobey her Kage just this once, for she had the better chance of returning alive with her kidnapped teammate, as well as surviving the confrontation with the very enemy that had stolen said persona. She was the one capable of emitting a shield that would deem her untouchable, and she was the one capable of healing the most severe injuries with just a single touch. "Don't read these; bring them to their said destination," she ordered, her voice cracking at her first word; her mind had dramatized the possibility of this remaining comrade being ambushed yet again on what was left of his journey. However, their newest goal requested this of them with the utmost importance.
"As soon as you get there, you request a back up team for me, because I'll already be at the enemy's hideout; I cannot stress that command enough. I know, I know," she continued, looking over her comrade's mask of shock, which seemed to forever be nailed to his features. "I'll have to survive a day," she said, winking. "But I have my methods, don't I?" she asked, speaking of her insane healing prowess. "Hm, just make sure you get there safe, and also be sure to send a message to Suna detailing our new scenario, please." She had already pushed him away on his departure, and had started on her own.
As already described above, it would take one day for Akemi to reach the hideout, and her remaining teammate to reach the village to warn them, request a back up team, and send a hawk to Suna. By the time the back up team would reach Akemi, the major attack on both villages would've already ensued, practically deeming them as a scope team, sent to see if the two Suna shinobi were still alive after a day of the official attack; their own village and Suna would've been prepared for this, however, thanks to the remaining teammate that had warned them. By the time the hawk would've reached Suna, the village would already be a day into battle, and the message would only add to it's stress, however the knowledge was needed.
Akemi knew as soon as she thought of the possibility that she had a high chance of dying while on her lonely rescue mission, but after realizing just how powerful the enemy was, she would gladly sacrifice herself to help save what was most important, and that was the very village that had accepted her even after her previous sins.
Scenario B.
It was almost a comical situation.
It was still one of utmost seriousness, however. Her sensei was threatening her teammate's life, -a kunai to his throat- and only another individual remained to be her comrade. This sensei was in fact a jounin; much more powerful than both she and her teammate combined times three. Surely, the only course of action would be to do what he asked-- unless, of course, she had a good counter attack prepared. And quite frankly, she did, seeing how her teammate had potential only to her knowledge, and that knowledge aided her with the fact that her comrade was a genjutsu specialist, and could play with a man's senses just with him being within eyesight, and... he was.
With a few shunshins and the right illusions, it would be easy in plucking away a white feather from the mad black sheep, his mind already being unstable to the point where it was easy to control with the simplest of genjutsu. All she knew is that she had to at least try to save her comrade~
Scenario C.
It was a challenging situation, if one hadn't studied for their test.
Seeing how inactive kages and the lack of interactive missions would set these limitations to an extremely mediocre degree, these particular thoughts of Akemi were particularly rare, and definately were only to be presented on such an occasion.
Anyway <_<
"There's no doubt that his lackies will be protecting him by any means necessary," she said, speaking to her comrades. "So we're going to have to take them down one by one, while keeping the Taijutsu Master in mind and in sight at all times. Now, means of genjutsu practically can't do any damage unless you are trying to attack the creature, or running away from them," she looked at her specialized shinobi. "That means you, ninjutsu specialists. Use you're best influence over the elements to keep those genjutsu users distracted from their comrades' fall, if not kept at bay."
"If I know one thing, it's that they don't know what we're capable of. So we'll have the element of surprise-- so I want my genjutsu users to confuse the enemy's ninjutsu users, so that I have an opening to put them down through close combat, which ninjutsu users will not stand a chance at surviving thanks to their specialized areas relying on long ranged combat. Now, while keeping this first step of the strategy in mind, all of us will have to look out for the Taijutsu Master, especially my genjutsu specialists, because his only real threat is bringing us down through close combat." She looked again at her genjutsu specialized comrades. "I know I'm putting a lot on your plate," she admitted. "But some of your most powerful techniques can effect multiple personell at once, so everyone be sure to clear a way for our illusionists' offensive methods."
"Once the enemy's ninjutsu users are finished off, we can mold our formation to fit our advantage against the enemy's genjutsu users with me and one of our illusionists, and one of our ninjutsu users; knowing this, you could assume that the most capable ninjutsu and genjutsu user will have to stay at one post most of the battle. At this change in formation, we'll hand our second genjutsu and ninjutsu team over to take our genjutsu specialists' former place in keeping the Tai Master at bay through long ranged combat and illusions, and by this time, he'll be worn down enough not to care about his teammates, or so I predict due to what we already know of his nature."
"We'll keep this second step going until we've seen our second team break the Tai Master down to the point where he is at least moving into his last resort; at this stage, not only will the enemy's genjutsu users be about done, the Tai Master will have only just started... and I must warn you, someone might die during this time." She looked at each face with particular concern, as if fusing each one's body and minds into one in the reassurance that everyone will have each other's backs. "At this time, it's obvious that the one with the best defensive abilities will have to move in to take the heat: that's me. I'll activate my shield, and he won't be able to scratch me, whilst I keep him going and tiring him out like a spastic puppy." She smiled grimly.
"Like I said, the enemy's genjutsu users will be tired after everything so far throughout the battle, and so will you. I won't, due to my personal techniques, and neither will the Tai Master's, due to his fighting style's methods. All of you will have to work together to bring down those genjutsu users, and I'll expect you to do it soundly and promptly, because indeed, I think it'll be an easy job for you, if you work together wisely and efficiently."
"With everyone dead but our main target and hopefully what will be the five of us, the Taijutsu Master and I... well, that will be a pretty close battle, I'm predicting." Suddenly she fell silent, before continuing. "If I die, and he's still running smoothly... I don't care which two of the enemy illusionists you've already killed, I want you to retreat." Akemi knew that while she was the leader, her comrade's lives were the most important in preserving, rather than the capture of a target. However, if she had the chance... "If I'm alive, I want my ninjutsu users to retreat, and go for back up." Said shinobi were taken aback, their expressions fixed on shock. "No offense, but you'll be the most tired out of us all, due to the fact that you're the least efficient in chakra control; really, your chakra supply would almost be completely drained. So you run--" she turned to face her illusionists.
"I know you will be exhausted by this point, but I'm going to need you to further distract our main target, while I go in for the kill; just like the first step when we are to take down the enemy's ninjutsu specialists. With this, I should be able to knock him unconscious, and we'll call it a succesful capture in three easy steps." She made eye contact with each of her teammates, their faces steady in the face of battle. "We could right a book about it, gentleman; now, c'mon. Let's go." She began on their trek, before abruptly stopping. "Oh, and remember: we have permission to kick ass by any means necessary." And she was off.
It was a brutal situation.
