Test 1 - The Mind

[Chuunin Examiner]

Test 1 – The Mind

[/u][/center][/size]

All participants have been led to a large room and randomly sat down throughout the room. One of the examiners, who was standing at the front of the room, would beckon others to pass out a piece of paper to each person, the paper being upside down. Once everyone had a piece of paper, the Examiner would finally speak.

”You are all here to take part in the Chuunin Exams. Having met the requirements set down, you now sit here ready to take the first part of the exam. On the paper in front of you is 3 Scenarios for a possible event that might take place at some point during your life. You are to read through each one carefully and write, in your own words, how you would act as if you were in that specific situation. You have 1 hour to answer all 3 questions. If you finish before that time, then bring your paper up here. Your answers will be graded on a 10 point scale for each question. Score 15 points or higher and you pass. Anything lower then 15 points results in a failing grade… Your test begins… NOW!”

At this point, the prospective Chuunin would be allowed to turn their papers over, and a timer on the front desk would be set for 1 hour and started. When they would look at the papers, they would see 3 short scenarios with plenty of space to write in between each one. The three scenarios are as follows…

1st Scenario – You have just been assigned a mission to assassinate a Class B level criminal. You have 3 teammates, 2 other Genin and a Chuunin. You know what the criminal can do, but he doesn’t know what you can do. He has last been seen in the Rain City Capital. When you go there, it is currently pouring down rain making lightning ninjutsu difficult to use. The criminal is a master of water ninjutsu, thus giving him a slight advantage. How would you proceed?

2nd Scenario – You have been given a simple infiltration mission, though you are on your own. A large mansion is located near the capital of Fire country. They stole a valuable scroll from your village. All you know is that they have at least one ninja there guarding it. There are actually 2. 10 guards patrol the mansion, 5 outside and 5 inside. You know the layout of the mansion and know that the scroll is in a room in the center of the mansion, meaning that access through the window or the roof directly into the room is not going to happen. The 2 ninja have basic Taijutsu. 1 has 250 points of Bojutsu, while the other is has 250 points of Kenjutsu. The Kenjutsu using ninja is also a Sakurai, so any chakra usage will be detected. How would you proceed?

3rd Scenario – An animal from the most prestigious person in your village has run away. You have been asked to find it with the help of 2 other teammates. One spots it and runs to get it, but slips only to fall off of a cliff and land on a rock face pretty far down. The other teammate tried to help out but messed up and fell to the same one. Both of them hit their heads a bit and are now knocked out. The animal is just about to start running away. How would you proceed?

---

Now for some OOC stuff. You are to PM an examiner your answer. The list of participants is listed below. You must PM the examiner that you are listed under. You have 1 week to do this. Only one answer may be submitted. Each one is graded on a 10 point scale that the examiners know. After one week, or once everyone has submitted their answer, the grades will get posted up. You have a total of 30 possible points. 15 or higher points will mean that you will continue on to the next round. Anything lower then 15 points results in failure from the exams. This is not on a team based thing. If you fail, that does not mean your partner does as well. The list of who PMs which examiner is listed below.

Please note this… I want you to write these missions to the examiner as if you were actually doing the missions. Don’t write them as if you were writing out what you would do. Write in the way that you are actually in that scenario and it is happening right then and there.

During the week that this is going on, feel free to do training or non-death enabled fights OUTSIDE of the capital. When the results are posted up, the next part of the exam will start 2 days later. Please make sure you are back in the capital by then. Do your best, and good luck. Make sure you read everything carefully and send it to the right examiner. If an examiner that is not your examiner gets your answers, they will not graded and it will count as a failure for not submitting your answers.

The first part of the exam will end at 5:00 PM EST on July 18th, or once everyone has submitted their answers. The second part of the exam will start 2 days after the results have been posted up. Good luck.[/font]

[Tieren]

The first exam is now over. Anyone who has not yet sent their answers in at this point has been disqualified. The results will be posted in a day or two (hopefully)

[Chuunin Examiner]

READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO FIND YOUR GRADE!!!

After an hour, the timer went off and the examiners collected the tests. They quickly went through and graded all of them, posting up the results after that. The results were then read aloud. When a person whose name was called as Failure, they would be asked to leave. Once all those who failed had left, the proctor would step forward.

"Congratulations on passing the first part of the exams. 23 of you remain. You are now being passed half of a scroll. On one side, the next part of the exam is explained to you. On the other is a crypted message. Retrieve the other half of the scroll from the next stage and the message will be revealed to you. The exam will begin in 2 days. Good luck. Dismissed!"

With that, they would be led out of the room and then they could look at the scroll they were given during his talk. Inside the scroll, they would see the following.

11 towers stand tall with 5 stories in each. 5 rooms on each story. Your task? Obtain each piece from the scroll. There is one on each story. Assemble them on the plaque on the fifth story. Another task will be revealed to you. Complete it, and the way out will be made clear. The catch? No chakra may be used...

---

This is all I am going to say on the second exam. The teams for the exam have been chosen already. Those whose partners failed or those who did not have a partner have all been paired up. The exam will begin in 2 days. The grades for the first exam are listed below. 4 have failed. Feel free to go and see what you got now.

SPOILER: Click to show

[ Judging by the fact that the criminal knows nothing about what we're capable of, it's safe to assume he doesn't know how many people are hunting him. So, I would travel with the Chuunin, who is aTaijutsu Master Kaguya, while the other two genin travel about 100 meters away to remain hidden. When it came to the confrontation the Chuunin and I would fight as a distraction with the other Genin being signaled of the fight beginning via Comm. Devices. While the Chuunin and I distract him, possibly defeat him, the other two Genin would flank him and one, being a Wind user like myself, would entrap the Fugitive in a Wind Cage while the other, being a Genjutsu user, would hit him with a Genjutsu to knock him out or immobilize him in some other way. From there the Chuunin and I would finish him.]

------------------------------------------

[First off I would start be taking care of the guards patrolling outside the building. I would use my MPG and skill as a bowman to take out all five guards from a distance in a manor that the next guard on patrol would not notice it until after they turned the corner and it was too late. With the Sakurai being one of those patrolling outside chakra use would be available once more. Using the thermal setting on my MPG I would locate one of the windows with no guards around and enter there. I would continue using the MPG's thermal setting to my advantage with locating guards and killing them. Seeing that most are simple guards and likely not train in the ninja arts they would be easy to kill. The Ninja would present more of a problem, but not much of one, I would simply use my six arms and ability to use more weapons at once while still using jutsu to defeat him. Once all guards were killed I would take the scroll and leave on my merry way.]

------------------------------------------

[With my Village being in the desert I would use my sand abilities to save both the teammates and retrieve the animal at the same time. With the fall not being fatal to them then I should have enough reach with my sand control to still save the team and get them medical treatment while getting the animal.]

[Sachi] - [25/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ Sachi and his three teammates were assigned with the duty of assassinating a B-ranked criminal, which happened to be the same level as the Hanakora himself. He was a match for the opponent to say the least, and with 3 members near his level of strength, if not equal or higher, it seemed like this could be taken care of with not too much difficulty. The environment was that of a storm, rain pours en masse and this criminal is a known water ninjutsu user; giving him the advantage. One might ask Sachi how he would proceed in taking on such an enemy, and the answer was simple; don't let him make a move. The Hanakora had a number of moves at his disposal, but none would render the enemy helpless more than genjutsu. With the likes of a technique like the Human Porcupine he could engulf his enemy in massive amount of pain, which would not only defeat them mentally, but cause them to completely lose focus and concentration.

Which in that window of opportunity is when Sachi and his team would strike. Whether it be with poisonous gas due to his Hitokiri background, or an explosive death via Hyakka Ryouran, or even a restraining jutsu to hold him down whilst a kunai carved his neck. It didn't matter, because rain and water jutsu didn't save you from a mental onslaught that was quickly followed by a lethal barrage of attacks by not 1, but 4 ninja. It was safe to say the criminal was assassinated quickly and efficiently; a job well done.]

------------------------------------------

[Sachi was never one for close-combat, but he did have his intelligence and weapons with him at all times. He knew the layout of the mansion well, and knew that the scroll he was to retrieve was somewhere in the center - which was guarded by ninja. Unable to use chakra lest he wish to be detected he had to rely solely on his stealth and his ability to take down his enemies quickly with what he had available. He would enter from wherever was least guarded, being sure to take out any patrolling guards near him that could possibly detect him. Whether he sneaked up on them and stabbed them in the neck, or hit them with projectiles from afar, it was safe to say the Kusa shinobi aimed to kill with his poison or acid coated weapons. Being of the Hitokiri he was sure to prepare his weapons before hand. With weapons like glass senbon he could puncture the throats of the guards, only to have acid seep in and completely deteriorate whatever it touched giving them a quick, painful, and silent death.

When the coast was clear of guards in the area he'd be entering he would silently continue onwards. The room was in the center of the mansion and thus he had more guards to deal with. He would use the same plan as he had previously; planning to take out any guards as silently, and as quickly as he could by any means possible. If he could remain undetected he could ambush and surprise the ninja guarding the scrolls. With the enemy patrol neutralized he could plan his entry into the room. Armed with gas bombs filled with his hitokiri poison he could completely engulf the room; killing all who were inside. Throwing the bombs into the room they would surely die silently and without any hassle in but a few seconds, at which point, providing it was safe, Sachi could enter and retrieve the scroll.

He would exit the same way he entered and vanish into the night; unseen, unheard.]

[9/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – No obvious grammar mistakes.
Correct Style – 1 point – The correct style has been followed
Originality – 4 points – You utilized your Hitokiri skills to your advantage in this to prevent the Sakurai from tracking your chakra. Excellent job.
Usage of Given information – 2 points – You used your knowledge of the mansion, the placement of the guards, and the 2 ninja in the room well. However, you were not told that one was a Sakurai and therefore able to track your chakra. So saying that you would not use chakra is somewhat of Metagaming.
Completion of mission – 1 point – Mission passed.

------------------------------------------

[Sachi was on a mission to retrieve an animal it seemed, accompanied by two other ninja no less - as if it was a tough job. Although he supposed the extra pair of eyes never hurt, Sachi couldn't watch every direction after all. The search wasn't going so good for the first while, until one of Sachi's teammates would spot the target ahead. Getting overexcited and moving too quickly the ninja would slip and fall from from a cliff, right behind them was the other teammate who tried to save them. It all happened too quickly for Sachi to react in time to save them, and now by the looks of it the target was getting ready to flee; he was left with a decision to make. Either he could go down and help his team and risk losing the animal, or he could get the animal first and risk the lives of his team. Sachi of course would help his teammates, but he couldn't just leave the mission failed.

He would quickly perform handsigns in a blur of movement, and 'pon completion Wood Clones would spring to life before him. Two immediately took off in pursuit of the animal and would no doubt capture it. In the meantime Sachi and another clone took off to see what condition his teammates were in; hopefully they were fine.]

[9/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – No obvious grammar mistakes.
Correct Style – 1 point – The correct style has been followed.
Originality – 3 points – Using Wood clones to capture the animal while also assisting your teammates is good. Not completely original, but it has its moments.
Usage of Given information – 3 points – Wood clones would certainly be easily made in your own village. And you took advantage of the fact that the animal hadn’t run away yet, making capture easy.
Completion of mission – 1 point – Mission passed.

[Kidate Hyuuga] - [15/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[Well first and for most you would need to understand your teammates. The fact that we know what he can do would also let us know that he has the advantage in rain, which is water. However, we have the advantage in numbers and the fact that you got to know and understand your teammates would mean that it isn’t just some simplistic 4 on 1 type of thing, it is four well nit members working together to take this target down. So, in the end you could say that the targets advantage is not so much an advantage anymore because of the stated above. Also, the fact that it is raining tells me that I have the ability to use my Suiton techniques just as much as him, and since he only has himself to look after. Whatever I catch him in, his teammates (since he has none) won’t break him free. On the other hand, if he catches me or anyone of my teammates then we have the opportunity of making sure he can’t rebound of this capture of one teammate.

The only thing we must make sure of is that he doesn’t capture us all in one fell swoop, however we already know what he can do, so that’ll let us know what to expect which would make capturing us all in one fell swoop almost impossible. So, for this reason alone I would hope that two of my teammates are safe with being the close combatant type of fighters. I myself am a Jyuuken master so if only one other teammate is knowledgeable in hand to hand or close combat then I can become the other, but the main reason I would like to stay back is because of my mastery in Suiton. It would be like fighting fire with fire; however this is water but the point of challenging him at his strong point is the basis of the comment of fighting fire with fire. These two rushers or rather people that are challenging this target in close combat would become the ‘eye’ lookers. These two men would rush him, using the basis of clones towards the simple defenses while they try to continue getting closer towards him.

While this is happening, my other teammate would be the basis towards strong defensive stuff. For example if those two rushers end up running into something that simple clones can not help them then this other teammate would become there defense. The reason for this is because we know how this man fights and he is strong in Suiton but Taijutsu would become the basis of his weakness. These rushers would be rushing to fight this target on his most uncommon ground so in turn, you would expect one of two things. He would continue to flee which would become my job in restricting his movements so he can’t continue to do that, or he’ll try and take out my two teammates that are rushing as quickly as possible. Which that would then fall under my other teammate and the clones to make sure that taking these two rushers out as quickly as possible can’t happen.

So, this man may have the advantage that it’s raining but so do I and on top of that, as stated we have the numbers and not only that, we have the information and as anyone would know information is power. While we have that you would also think that the teammates that are with me had become the best possible teammates for this fighter, to the point no matter what he did, one teammate would be able to counter it. Because when you know how someone fights before the fight begins you would make sure that the team that was constructed to take down the target would, as stated, become the best possible team to do just that. When the team, and myself think like this it becomes 10x easier to really trust in your teammates because you know they’ve been specifically chosen for this mission for a real reason so even if you’ve just met, it becomes 10x easier to build that friendship when you know you can rely on your teammates.]

[6/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – No obvious grammar mistakes seen
Correct Style – 0 points – This was not written in the correct style.
Originality – 2 points – While original in your planning, you never actually chose a course of action and did anything, thus making this hard to grade.
Usage of Given information – 3 points – You used your knowledge of the other ninja as well as your teammates well.
Completion of mission – 0 points – The mission was never actually completed as you never did anything. You simply stated what could happen, but you never took any action.

------------------------------------------

[The basis of an infiltration mission if you don’t have enough of it is; gather more information. You don’t know the fighters so simply knowing how to control your chakra or knowing that you should use chakra becomes impossible and since chakra becomes something of a strong usage for you, you’re going to use it. You just simply don’t know the fighter, so to say you wouldn’t use it would be lying, unless you can’t mold to begin with. However, you would want to make sure this would become easy running as possible, taking on all the fighters would become something of a real hassle so you’ll stay away from that as best as you possibly can. My first course of action would be to activate my Byakugan and get an understand of who is where exactly without having to be near them.

Once that is acknowledged the basis or the advantage I gain is knowing now, that there are 5 ninja outside, only 5 that are covering a mansion. From what I could tell there wasn’t any camera or security that had been running at the time either so knowing this, I also gain the advantage of window’s. At the same time you must simply know that there had to be at least one ninja laterally guarding the scrolls themselves and this would prove to be difficult if you want to make a haste retreat and have to deal with all 5 ninja from the outside. Using my Byakugan I would realize from Sight of Chakra that they hadn’t had any real releases (these 5 men on the outside) so this would tell me that they had either been strong Taijutsu users or simply sucked at being ninja period.

So thinking this, taking out two guards wouldn’t prove to be tough, the only restriction here would be that I would have to make sure the other three guards wouldn’t notice me or notice that two of there comrades had been taken out. So my first course of action would be taking out one that is furthest away from the group of 5, this could become the lone wolf of the group, someone that thinks he’s better then the rest and doesn’t need help. The only disadvantage here is this lone wolf could end up not bluffing and if that had been the case, they would prove to become the most difficult opponent. However, there weren’t many other options on making sure someone on the outside would be taken out, so he would become my bait and I would end up taking that risk. In the end, you are going in a covert mission, risk whether you realize it or not will be taken.

The simplistic way of taking this man without causing too much commotion would be the ‘Doton - Dochuu Eigyo (Underground Fish Projection)’ technique. He, if my whole thought would prove to be correct would not see me coming, so I could drag him down and take him out with one swift Jyuuken strike. It would be fast enough to make sure any sounds would prove to become useless and I would make sure that I dragged this man down into the earth so any research on the mans wear bout’s would become almost futile, hopefully. Also, going after this man would become or prove useful as well, as stated this man would most likely be that lone wolf so the others wouldn’t bother him, thinking he’s some pompous ass they would leave him to himself and continue to just stay towards there post, maybe even if they heard something that didn’t exactly sound like the greatest cry for help. This would prove to become my enter and exit point as well.

This would become my basis of getting inside; taking care of the lone wolf as often times it is your easiest way to enter. The man that denies teamwork will be the fall of the team itself; also you would hope that these men had been mere assassins, simply because you would figure that mere assassins had just been hired from all around for help, which would also mean teamwork itself would become scarce. At the same time assassins are sure to become weak for one another and willing to give out information that they’ve achieved from one another because they simply look to survive by whatever way they possibly can, no comrades to be had in there line of duty so trying to get one to betray the others or simply running could happen. It really all depends on what type of fighters these people are but using the Sight of Chakra; I would know that they aren’t ninja from any village for it would be quite rare to run into 10 ninja who all can not mold chakra.]

[5/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – No obvious mistakes made.
Correct Style – 0 points – The correct style was not used.
Originality – 1 points – A lot of this was just a bunch of information that wasn’t exactly needed, and wasn’t the most original. You used your Hyuuga skills and made your entry point. But there wasn’t a whole lot of originality.
Usage of Given information – 3 points – You utilized the fact that you knew the layout to your advantage, as well as realized that you never knew that there was a Sakurai out there and still used Chakra regardless of detection.
Completion of mission – 0 points – The mission was never completed. You never actually went in and grabbed the scroll, which was the mission presented to you.

------------------------------------------

[Well, the mission is only in danger of failing when your comrades are hurt. You simply must put your comrades over this pet, end of the discussion. Beyond that, judging on the height of there fall and the fact that they’ve fallen face first would tell you that it could be lethal. I don’t know much about medic; in fact I know nothing about being a medic but what I saw was my two comrade’s fall and this pet run away. Telling me one that the pet was ok, fine and if it wasn’t then I’d end up taking all three back for medical attention but too simply continue some mission about searching for some pet when your comrades are knocked out and not knowing the true condition of there fall, it is time to become the leader and realize that your comrades life take priority over this mission. Now do not mistake my words, some missions are brought up in serious matters that this question would become tougher but it is a pet, I will not abandon them while trying to capture this pet.

There are ways to handle this otherwise using your clones and having them take on this pet while you move on to have these comrades reach the hospital but Iwa Bunshins and the sort must change back towards it’s old form after the host has reached a certain point in distance. In the end, over some simplistic mission like this you really most take your comrades life over some pet running around, you’ll just have to tell the owner that you’ll continue looking for this pet with some new comrades while the others heal. Simple as that, there really isn’t any other way of putting it.]

[4/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – No obvious mistakes seen.
Correct Style – 0 points – The correct style was not followed.
Originality – 1 point – Hard to give originality points when nothing was actually done. You didn’t state how you saved your teammates. You didn’t state anything that you actually did except for that you assessed the situation and realized that saving your comrades would have to come first. However, due to the way it was thought out, I am giving one point here.
Usage of Given information – 2 points – You didn’t use the fact that it was YOUR village to your advantage, however, you did use the fact that you wouldn’t be able to tell their situation from the fall that they received.
Completion of mission – 0 points – You never actually did anything in this mission. A lot of it was just assessing the situation and saying what you decided to do, but you never actually decided what you were going to do as well as doing it.

[Myriam Nade] - [28/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ The small cluster of four shinobi had finally came up with a proper plan to take down the Suiton Master. Regardless of what power levels their opponent could fight at, it would be no matter to the small shinobi squad as its main strategy would rely purely on distraction and surprise. Myriam which was now behind her team performed several hand seals, with the final one complete, the kunoichi slowly started sinking into the ground until she had fully vanished. The three others would move in a fan-like(or triangle formation if you wish to be picky) towards their opponent, the annoying rain falling without interruption upon the features of the squad. The man would of course start using the waters falling from the heavens to his advantage, manipulating it with his series of jutsu to make the rain drops shape into what he desired and fight for him. Yet little did he know what was truly going on. Beneath him.

The young medic would slowly travel underground. Before disappearing underground the kunoichi, from a distance had been able to count the seconds that she would need to be underground. She travelled about a meter every three seconds, she moved at a slow pace, not wanting to alert her opponent had he a chakra detecting jutsu, yet Myriam knew that her teammates would be able to keep the criminal distracted. After several more sets of seconds, the kunoichi rose towards the ground, effectively appearing behind the shinobi that would most probably still be launching his attacks against her team. Moving with haste to close the gap between her new location and her opponent, the kunoichi would grab her opponent from behind, wrapping her arms around his torso and squeezing tightly, his arms and torso stuck together in this odd embrace. The medic heaved the man onto her shoulder and fell backwards, his head colliding loudly with the ground. The orange-haired girl would swiftly get up to her feet. If the suiton shinobi would still be alive after such an ordeal, Myriam and her team would be able to swiftly dispose of him, after all, surviving such a crash to the head without the protection of a helmet or one’s arms to shield the fall would cause near fatal injuries.]

------------------------------------------

[Several leagues away from the mansion which Myriam needed to infiltrate, the medic was preparing herself for the infiltration, which would end up not being so stealthy, would it go as she had planned or not. Taking out one of her kunai, the Nade took her time in wrapping several exploding tags around its handle. Eight in total were placed around the handle, its girth had now more than tripled in circumference, yet it would do the job Myriam had planned for it. Placing the highly explosive weapon upon the ground, the kunoichi would take out one of her scrolls and slowly opened the parchment; biting down into her thumb she would swipe the paper with a small trail of her blood. Soon one of her weapons was summoned, a large gourd landed upon the grass beside her, it was filled to the brim with clear water. The kunoichi would then take her kunai, which had eight exploding tags wrapped around it and inserted the non-pointy tip into her mouth, her teeth biting deeply into the metal, fastening it within her mouth. She tested her breathing and was easily able to both breath from her nose and her mouth. After a few hand seals and holding the last one, the water from the ground shifted and changed until it jumped out of the large gourd, the large bird that had been sculpted from the water landed just beside the medic. Sending chakra to her feet the kunoichi mounted the bird and soon it flapped its wings, sending both the medic and the avian into the air.

The bird flew to an amazing height, until they could be barely seen from people that were on the ground. She headed towards the location of the mansion and once she was high above it, the medic would spit out the bomb-kunai towards the ground. It landed upon the roof, on its east side. Myriam then landed into the bushes that surrounded the mansion. The bird was soon cast aside as the medic performed another hand seal, creating a large explosion, all the exploding tags would ignite at the same time and explode, creating a good enough distraction for the kunoichi to move towards the closest of windows. The explosion would have been sure to draw all guards that were inside and outside, hopefully even injuring several of the guards inside. Entering through the window Myriam would make her way to the center of the mansion, her hands already forming a hand seal, one that was shaped like an oval. Once she entered the room, the kunoichi would be surprised by the fact that there were actually two men waiting for her, yet she had been waiting only for one.

With her hand seal already ready the kunoichi would release a Mind Pulse against the first person she would see, being the Sakurai, for a brief moment the man would be out of commission unable to concentrate and barely be able to see, he would be plagued with terrible headaches giving her enough time to dispatch of his friend. With two Body flickers the kunoichi would find herself behind the man. And while travelling at such an amazing speed she would have closed both of her hands together. Bringing her hands down she would bash the man’s head down and into the ground, before moving with haste and grabbing the scroll. And soon she sunk into the ground and swam underground and out of the mansion’s ground, the guards still unaware of the kunoichi having entered the mansion. Once she would have been far enough from the mansion, Myriam would come out of her ground and run forward until she would fall upon a source of water which she could shape into another bird to fly away.]

[Dumb teammates… Myriam thought to herself as she made sure the bag that was meant to keep the dog under control was safely placed upon herself. The bag dangled from her back, a single string crossed her chest and attached both the top and the bottom of the bag, keeping it still on her back. The kunoichi would throw herself forward, using several Body Flickers to close the gap between herself and the dog. She would easily catch it, wrestling only slightly with the annoying little animal, the Nade would be able to insert it into the bag and tighten its top so that only the dog’s head would stick out. After once more making sure the bag would keep the dog safely into her back the kunoichi ran towards the cliff’s edge where her teammates had fallen.

A burst of chakra to her feet would all she needed to adhere to the wall of rock’s surface. She started her descent horizontally towards her teammates, both of her arms outstretched as she walked down, making sure she would not lose her balance, yet even if she would, her feet would stay firmly stuck against the cliff. After what seemed like several minutes to the kunoichi she arrived at the place where her teammates would have fallen. With the strength only given to medics, the kunoichi would grab her teammates by their shirt, testing the fabric’s elasticity and strength. She would soon return to climbing up the wall with nothing else but her wall-adhering feet, help by the chakra. With her immense strength she would bring her teammates up by their shirts, and in the bag attached to her back was the annoying barking dog. Once she had brought both her teammates and the small animal back to the top of the cliff the kunoichi would bring them all to her village, hopefully ending this mission that had been nothing else but a pain in the backside.]

[Gaz Hyuuga] - [22/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[The group of ninja rushed inside to get out of the rain. Her clothes were soaked, along with all the other members of her team. They had for a moment thought they had escaped the rain when large white dog started to shake the water off. After this momentary embarrassment, they all found a table in the back of the little pub they had entered and got to work figuring out what they were going to do next. After a week or so, they had finally tracked the criminal they were after to this city. Using both Gaz, and her trusted companion Koori advance senses, And the other ninja ability to collect as much information as they could, they figured it would not be long before they found the criminal.

For the duration of the mission, they had all dressed up as dirty travelers, looking for work in these hard times. This in itself was not very noticeable. The pub they had entered was full of people who also fit this very description. They waited in the pub for a while talking over ideas and possible plans that they might have to use if the situation got ugly. Had the situation turned for the worse, the Chunin had instructed them all to return to the village together, as quickly as they could. The Genin were all offended by the very idea of running away and leaving the Chunin to die, but were given their orders and they grudgingly accepted. After an hour or so, they gave up on waiting for the rain to stop, as had many in the bar, and went out into the streets looking for the man they had come all this way for.

The tracking part was hard. The rain was a constant annoyance for Gaz and her dog. The rain made smelling him out extremely difficult. They had been so close to capturing him earlier that week. Lucky for the team, it had been extremely dark, and hard for him to see their faces. He had ran so quickly that they had lost sight of him. They returned to the Cave he was sleeping in and found some of his clothing. Gaz and Koori had been tracking him using strips of his clothing. The rain was taking away that advantage. Gaz, who senses were not as advance as Koori, was having a much harder time keeping track of the smell. Koori was having a tad bit more success, but not much more.

The hour they had spent in the pub was not a waste though. As Gaz and the Chunin searched for the man, she knew the other two would be outside the city setting up traps to capture the criminal. If all went according to plan, this mission would be a success. Gaz was brought out of thought by Koori. He had suddenly gotten very excited. He had picked up a trace of the smell, which had not had the chance of being washed away by the rain. He was close by. In her minds eye, she saw the man. Before they left hidden snow village, they had been told to memorize a picture of him. She had of course done as she had been told. Her mind was not working as if she was some sort of machine. With one eye, she looked over all the faces around her. With her other eye, she mentally pictured their prize. She would compare the faces she saw, looking for any hint they had found their target.

It would not be long before they found him. He walked right past her. For a brief moment, time passed slowly. As they walked past each other, their eyes met, and locked with each other. She did not know why, but she had the suddenly feeling that they were in extreme danger. He knew, she did not know how, but he knew he had been followed. She turned away allowing two second to past before she turned to the Chunin companion and told him something was wrong. It did not take long to prove her point. A split second later, a loud explosion took place right in front of the duo. Both were thrown back, and landed hard on the muddy ground. Gaz saw the criminal running away from the two.


He had obviously hoped that the two would walk fast enough to be in the blast. Lucky for them, they had slowed down just enough to avoid any major injuries. Quickly they got to their feet and ran after him, Koori leading the way, closely followed by Gaz, and the Chunin. They were in luck, he was running toward the city gates. If their luck held, he would follow the main road, right into their trap. She snapped her Byakugan to life. Using her eyes, she followed the man with her eyes, making sure he did not take any unexpected turns. Just as the team had hoped, he exited the gates and followed the main road. After she left the gates, she would jump into the trees and continue to follow him. Koori would lead the Chunin to the criminal.

The plan centered around the fact that he would not know she was their. His plan to try and blow the two up would work in her favor. He might possibly think she was to injured to follow, and forget she existed. While he would be occupied by the other three, with a combination of Taijutsu and ninjutsu, she would strike from the trees, using her advance weapon skills to take him down. Up ahead, she heard the clinging of metal, telling her the fight had begun. The Chunin would soon be there using his own water ninjutsu skills to help battle the criminal. Koori, who was now know where to be seen was circling the fight making sure the criminal did not run for it.

The criminal himself seem to know he would have to fight his way out. He was showing an extreme amount of taijutsu ability, as well as skill with water ninjutsu. His clones seem to keep the other two Genin busy. Neither of which were taijutsu users like Gaz. Both of them were ninjutsu users, one used fire ninjutsu, while the other used lightning ninjutsu. Neither were in their element with the rain coming down as hard as it was. Turning to watch the Chunin and the criminal, she could not help but watch in awe as the two fought. They fought like gods. Using the water with a skill she had never seen before from her fellow Genin in the village. This really was a sight to see. A harsh hit to the head, sending the Chunin flying, brought her back to reality. She had to act now.

She took out a weapon scroll and took out three shuirken, sending it flying at her target. He manage to see one of them coming, and turned quickly to avoid the attack. He knew some unseen target had thrown the weapons and he looked around wildly for the source. Though he would have to turn quickly once more as the Chunin came to his senses and was not on the attack once again. It would not be long before he was sent flying again. This time, he did not look as if he would be so quick to get back up. During the second fight between the two, Gaz had taken the time and took out two windmill shuriken. Seeing she now had a clear shot, she sent out both of them, using the “Hunting Shuriken technique”, the windmill shurikens came to life and spun rapidly at the criminal. With skill Gaz had hardly believed possible, he manage to dodge both attacks with apparent ease.

What took him off balance however was the weapons flying back at him. His eyes grew wide and he made a very narrow escape and manage to dodge them. Still trying to find his balance, the weapons were coming back for a third attempt. He jumped into the air and rolled away. One of the weapons had manage to leave a large gash on one of his hands, which was now oozing blood. He took out a Kunai, wrapped in a handmade exploding tag, and sent it flying at one of the weapons. The kauni made contact and exploded. The blast was far larger then any she had seen before from a exploding tag. The criminal seem to think he had taken both of them out. He was beginning to turn when the second windmill shuirken came flying out of the smoke. She saw the criminal eyes go wide. Gaz closed her eyes and turned away. The next thing she heard was a loud thud. Turning back, she saw that the man had been cut in half. The lower half of his body laid out in the middle of the clearing, while the upper half was hidden in some bushes. Blood was seen oozing out.]

------------------------------------------

[The snow village informant had been right. The large mansion containing their secret scroll was guarded by a group of ten guards. She allowed her Byakugan to die away and her eyes returned to being normal, with the exception of being all white. If her informant was right, then they had only one ninja guarding the scroll. But she was confused. She had counted twelve people, not elven. So who was the extra man(or woman)? Were they just and extra person of no importance? The owner of the mansion? Or perhaps another ninja. She was already outnumbered by the guards, a problem already hard enough. Sneaking past that many people was not going to be easy. She did not want to kill if she did not need to. As far as she knew, these people were just being paid to walk around the mansion, and make sure no one trespasses.

Now take that, and add in a ninja..possibly two ninja, she could be in trouble. She was alone, with the exception of Koori, her trusted canine companion. As she watched the guards, she noticed them become a little more tense as a man came out to them and started talking. He did not look to much older then she was from the distance she was at, but she could not see him in great detail. Something was not right. What was he telling them? Why were they becoming very tense all of a sudden? Did they know an intruder was only a hundred yards from the mansion? She decided to retreat back a little wait a day or two before she entered the mansion.

For the next couple days, she would move around the mansion, looking for any signs of problems, or things that might slow her down. She tried to memorize patterns the people had. On the third night of watching the mansion, she was heading back to the near bye fire country capital. She was walking past some man when she heard some interesting news. “...you know, the old mansion a few miles from here? Yea apparently they are having some big party in a few days. All the governors and all of the well to do are gonna be there! I heard...” Gaz had heard all she needed. A party? That would mean the guards would be more distracted by the guest, she might have an easier job of getting into the mansion and getting the scroll. The two ninja, she was sure would be busy in the middle of the party watching everything making sure nothing bad happened.

A few days had passed, and just as she heard, the mansion was in part mode. Most of the guards on the outside were busy checking the guest, and greeting them as the entered the large place. She guessed the guards on the inside were just as busy doing the same thing. With three guards at the mansion gates, that meant only two would be patrolling the outside. She knew she was not going to get a better opportunity. She ran quickly to a lower spot on the walls and jumped over. Hiding in the shadows, she watched to make sure the coast was good and clear. With everything clear, she darted toward the side of the main building, where a window would be located. The room the window was connected to was a spare room. She could see that when she looked in. It was littered with all sorts of garbage. Opening the window, she jumped in. The noise of music would reach her ears. She wondered if Koori could hear it from his location on the outside. She did not want him coming in the mansion just in case things got to ugly.

She closed her eyes for a second and pictured the blue prints of the mansion her village manage to get a hold of, for a hefty price. She pictured her route from here to the room holding the scroll. She opened the door and looked out it slowly. She had picked a bad moment to do so. As she walked out into the hall, a guard had turned the corner and saw her. Her reflexes were much quicker then his. Before he had a chance to alert the other guards, she had thrown three of her shuriken right into his chest, one into his throat. He was dead before he hit the ground. She quickly grabbed the man and dragged him into the room. She wiped up a little blood that was noticeable. Hopefully know one would notice any of it.

That had been a close call. She knew she would not be so lucky again. He must have been new, or inexperienced. She walked down the hallways, stopping and hiding in the shadows as she went. It took her twenty minutes to finally find the room. As she entered slowly, she made sure no one was going to surprise her this time. To her astonishment, there was no one in the room. She found the scroll. She quickly replaced it with a blank scroll she had been given. As she turned to leave, she saw a man standing there looking her. The two looked at each other for a long while. The man drew a sword, and started to approach. Taking the ice shield off her back, she held it out waiting to block the first blow. Her eyes suddenly went active, bringing her Byakugan to life.

The man stop suddenly. “So you are the one I felt sniffing around. You see, I am a Sakurai, I can feel when chakra is being used.” He flung his sword down hard only to have it make a loud noise against the shield. Her free hand reached around and pulled out a kunai and made a feeble stab at him. He dodged it with ease and sent a series of complex blows at her. He life was in the hands of her wonderful shield. She manage to escape the series of strikes with nothing more then a couple scratches. She had lost her Kunai trying to block the sword attack, and now had a free hand. She started to mold chakra into her hand.

As the man started to attack again, she used her shield to throw his sword aside. His body now open to attack, she quickly started hitting points on the mans body trying to plug up as many tenketsu as she could. With only one free hand, she could not use the sixty four palm technique. However, using the same speed with only one hand, she manage to get thirty or so tenketsu. The man feel back obviously effected by the technique. She used this moment to strike again. She performed the technique again sealing thirty more tenketsu. The man now dropped to his knees. She looked down at him. How easily she could have finished him. But for some reason, she had pity and could not do it. He started to stand back up reaching for his sword. Gaz to her shield and used it to knock him out.

If her luck held, no one would have noticed him and she would have a free run toward the room she use to enter this place. As she ran, she heard a commotion from somewhere behind her. Raised voices could be heard. The guards knew something was up. They were now aware some unwanted guest was in the mansion. She went down a hall way and saw a guard come into view. He saw her and cried out. Taking out her a kunai, she threw it and hit the man in the throat with her deadly aim. He fell to the ground holding his throat. But the damage had been done. They now knew where she was at. She heard voices behind her coming quick. She saw that she was in a four way intersection. She took out a smoke grenade and tossed it on the ground causing a cloud of smoke to come out.

She used this to distract the men long enough to allow her to escape. They would not know which way she went. As she found the room she had entered, she jumped out the windows and climbed the walls avoiding a few weapons thrown at her. She met up with Koori soon after and the two ran for dear life.]

[Gaz looked over the cliff. She was working with retards. How could they be so careless as to fall over the ledge right here, when they had finally found the animal. Looking back up, she looked at the small cat. She could tell from the look in the cats eyes that it was getting ready to run. Looking back over to Koori, she spoke to him in canine speech. Quickly! Get the cat! Don't worry about me, I will deal with the other two. She hoped by the time he came back, she had the other two back up on the cliff and had them looked at. She was worried that they may have suffered from some sort of head trauma.

In the end, it did not matter if the animal was caught. What was more important was that the team was ok. Sure a failure would put a black mark on their record, but honestly, Gaz could live with that. She pulled out some rope that the team was gonna use to tie the animal up, and tied it around a tree close by. She then tied the other end around her own waste. Going to the edge of the cliff, she started to climb down. When she got to the end, she went over to check that both the boys were ok. She did not want to move them if it would kill them. Seeing that they were both ok, even though one had minor bleeding, she put the first one on her shoulder and climbed back up and laid him back on the ground.

She went back down the cliff and picked up the second one. Climbing back up the cliff wall, she laid him back on the ground when she reached the top. She saw koori coming back with nothing in his mouth. The animal must have out run him. It is ok, help me take these two back to the village. We will come back out again after we make sure they are ok. Koori nodded and allowed Gaz to put one of the boys on his back. The large dog would start walking toward the village. Gaz now turned back to pick up the second. With him firmly on her shoulders, she walked back with the village thinking about how she was gonna explain all this. She was sure once they are back in the village, that Koori and herself could catch the animal by themselves. But her team mates came first.]

[Takeshi Hyuuga] - [26/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ The ears of Takeshi Hyuuga would become ever so accustomed to the continuous sound of the rain, pat, pat, pat as they would hit the shingles of the roof, only to be repelled onto a gutter and so forth. His foots steps had been cautious one as he and his team of three would walk around, minds sets completely upon the current objective of capturing the said Shinobi they had been after. Tales of the strength the male himself had held, and how these strengths had revolved around the manipulation of the water release. Though, sudden thought would strike them quickly across the mind-space of Takeshi as his mind would walk upon a new path found by simple thinking; his opponent had held the upper-hand. Not only had the vicious Shinobi possess a class of strength with in B-Class, meaning a stronger trade, but, it had been raining. There was more water for him to use in both offense and defense towards the physical forms of the White-Eyed male, and his team of three.

Though quickly would reflexes force Takeshi to shoot a glare to the left as a foreign noise would be registered. The sound of the heavy ran pulverizing the shingles of the roof to vanish the vary second it had appeared. Oh woe was his opponent! With a quick focus of chakra would Takeshi force the Byakugan upon himself. Veins of both strength and chakra to appear upon the upper cheek-bones of the male as it would finalize its destination. The oculi of a god to become visible as a feint pupil would appear, and the strict look upon his face to only move up-wards in a class of difficulty as he would now part his lips to release a shout that would initiate a movement of strategic know-how in all members of his 'cell'.

”'ow! 'ET MOVIN'!

The words to escape his vocal cords in an even raspier fashion then usual as the shout would fight for dominance of sound with the rain. The God-Gifted eyes of the male would be quick to pick up traces of life with in the abandoned streets of Amegakure. The bountiful tears of Heaven's Clouds would only offer nothing but an annoyance now, as for the the veil that once shrouded the male would be nothing more then a torn wedding-brides veil when it came to shrouding appearances. With swift thoughts and actions would Takeshi be quick in lunging his body in the proper direction to begin a objective-driven dash towards his enemy. The pace at which Takeshi would break through the misty rains would be one rather quick and insane, and quickly behind him would his team follow, obviously lagging behind, but that would work fine for the Brown-Mane male, there was a plan after all.

Quickly would the the 'mark' turn to face the Hyuuga, his eyes stern and ready to fight. Facing him completely would thin and lanky digits begin to fly. The chakra with in his souls shell would begin to react as the hand seals would come to an end. The mimicry of the creatures of the Zodiac would be quick to conjure up strengths that would catch most by surprise, but, Takeshi would only know. The distance between the two of them would allow time for reaction, and it being thirty meters from the moment the jutsu would take effect would the White-Eye male begin to enjoy himself. Quickly would a large pillar of water form itself from the liquids with in the sky, and upon the air. The shape would be quick to sculpt itself effectively, and quickly would the mirroring image of a classic Chinese mountain dragon appear. The creature large in size, but to be poor in performance. Feet still pounding, and eyes as active as the beating heart of a cheetah would quickly catch onto the mass of chakra, and now would Takeshi go to the offense. Quick to reach into one of the many pouches placed upon his waist would a rough hand emerge with a small pouch, a pouch that would turn the tides of the battle. Quickly rushing in would he await the water dragon, its speeds quick, but its mind non-existent, and with the mass distance between the two of them [23M] would Takeshi throw the exploding pouch at his very own strength. A man who would excel in the arts of Kenjutsu, as well as posses the ability to go beyond human limits. This pouch was near unavoidable.

Clashing with the beast of myth, with extrema force would its very own flames erupt. The immense burst of fire to only rip apart the chakra held dragon as it would fall as nothing but the water it once was upon the earth. And caught off guard would the aged Hyuuga run in, drawing the katana upon his left hip with his right arm as he'd be quick to leap through the air, casting the waters aside as the distance between the two would nearly vanish. His opponent would be quick to draw his blade, raising it in a fashion to block the strike, and luckily would he be successful.

When the two would meet, and the cry of fashioned steel would be released upon the physical connecting of the blade would the team advance. The Chuunin to now be in control, and quickly focusing the moderate amount of chakra with in his system would he pierce the earth, traveling underneath the very ground, and quickly propelling forward with the proper doton technique. The Chuunin would be a near master of the elemental strength of Doton, and this would now work in his fashion. The combo of the two of them would be enough to leave this male only obsolete in the game of life.

With the Chuunin tearing through the packed earth underneath them at high speeds, and Takeshi fending off the male physically, distracting him from better thought and what to expect, he knew very well what course of action would be entailed if he were to pay attention to anything else. With shrieks arising from the meeting of the two masterpieces of steel would it be as if a song of death would be orchestrated; the mood to be set by the darkened clouds and the water filled filled sky, the pounding of the rain to assist in the music. Quick was Takeshi to strike, his arm to-retract, his body to jump back and lunge forward with another power filled strike; it was if the both of them would only dance a dance of death, a ceremony before the reaper would appear, yes? Though finally would the blades connect once again, and this time would force be applied forward, Takeshi holding back for reasons that would allow his victory. His eyes would watch the Chuunin underneath him as he would draw near, his time to advance in a strike would nearly be now. Holding the male in place would Takeshi stomp his foot slightly, morse code that had been decided by the two of them in preparation for the battle. With it understood would the Chuunin press forward slightly, and now would the strike begin!

Quickly would he lunge upwards, grabbing the feet of his opponent as he would do so, quickly dragging opponent down to the ground, and Takeshi would swift to jump back, to avoid any retaliation from the males blade for when he would be surprised. Now in the earth, and only head and neck to protrude from the soils of the earth would the Hyuuga male simply mutter soft words under his breath, and positioning himself correctly would he muster force for one powerful cleave to sever the head of his opponent. The agony of death to vanish from his opponents mind the second it would appear, and now the deed was done. Taking the the flesh covered skull of his opponent would he make his leave of the area. To turn it in as a proof of his deed. The genin only there to do nothing more but watch-- this would be a learning experience for them, and a view of how team work would allow them to arise as victors from the battle. Escaping the earth besides the body would the Chuunin follow behind Takeshi. Emotions spat aside, and silence heavy upon them all.

Death was never a pretty thing.]

------------------------------------------

[It would seem as if luck had been granted to Takeshi by the great ones in the sky. The Hyuuga male would be quick to rip through the still winds of the forest, it being located exactly on the left of the mansion. His objective today would be one made simple thanks to a gift known to him since birth, and with the need to activaite would he quickly pulseate the proper amount of chakra, his eyes . With steady feet would he soon begin to make his way towards the exit, a the dim moonlight to lead him to the end of the green cave, and to there would he be left with a change of scenery, and near him would there be a large building; though it appeared as if others had inhabited it. Something not entirely expected, but luckily it hadn't been cast aside in the process of thought. This wouldn't be difficult at all- this had all been in Takeshi's favor, and if a chuckle had been silent, then he would do so, but that was not the case.

With correctly placed foot steps would he be shrouded in the secrecy of Nyx blanket. His feet to tear from the grasses no sooner had he met them, and his eyes focused upon the building, as well as the other 359 degrees around him. It appeared as if there had been two men circled around the scroll, two of which appeared to have held weapons, though that would be nothing but a minor speed bump on the path way of victory. Though, there had been a thing of bigger concerns; inlet had gone to say that one of them had the ability to sense chakra, and that was obviously a thing he'd like to avoid. So with the de-activation of the Byakugan at the proper distance which would allow him safety of sensory would he continue to press forward, and watching closely at the door.

With a feeling of safety would he quickly rush through the door-- lights to be void with in the large mansion, though pure moonlight would substitute it to an extent, but in replacement would it offer him a shield of secrecy. His body would be pressed close to the wooden walls as he'd chimy towards the edge. His ear listening for foot steps- nothing. Once more would he make his way through the mansion; it would be as if he was a mouse in a maze who already had the fresh, distinct scent of the cheese with in his own nostrils; he already had an idea of where to go, the scroll hadn't been hidden to well.

Though he would come to an abrupt stop now as foot steps would be heard in the ears of the male. He'd lose a Katana slightly, and now would he wait. The wind to sit silent now as his body would scream for action, the dead air around them to only make him anxious, and now would be the time. Now would the male turn the corner, his foot to become visible, and now would death sing. Quickly unleashing the blade from its sheath would it cut through the air, the still air to be cut through as a pair of scissors would paper. The blade would connect with his neck, and before a reaction would be given would the males body touch the wooden floors, and then fall over, his head to roll; the Bojutsu of the duo had now been dead, but, he had ideas for the male of Kenjutsu.

Running again would he cut a sharp corner, and again come to a halt. This time would there be a male, blade partly drawn now. In the style of kenjutsu, Takeshi had been his superior, the the male had lacked the knowledge though. Rushing in blindly would he attempt for a strike, and Takeshi would re-sheath his blade, sliding in a stance he had been all too familiar with now. Quickly side-stepping would it be avoided and then would Takeshi begin it his attack; this male would survive... barely. Instantly striking the male would he begin a sixty-four palms, digits to fly wildly as they would strike the open Tenketsu of his opponent, though, all he would come in contact with would be shut; 64 of them to be shut when he would finish. Nearing the end would he pull back, holding it to draw the strength of momentum, and then unleashing it, sending the male to the ground.

With this he would pick up the male and his weapon, and run where the scroll had been kept; he had been the Sakurai- his worries now diminish. Re-activaiting his Byakugan would he now rush through the mansion, making it the room; unguarded as of now, though bodies had been near. Placing the hilt of the katana used by the rival kenjutsu user, would Takeshi draw his own katana once more, only for a different use. Blood smeared on it for being with in the sheath, and now would he drop, quickly would he pull the other from his mouth and sheath it properly. If he user of Kenjutsu had vanished, they would most likely search for him, rather then attack the village once more. His eyes would guide him through the building, his route unblocked as of now, though the soul-less body of the Bojutsu naïve would raise curiosity and fright at equal levels.

He would soon exit the building, and now re-enter the forest. The body slung over his shoulder would be thrown into the greenery, hiding it. Hopefully things wouldn't lead back to them.]

[Another mission would be the Hyuuga's shore for today. Though already half way in it would there be problems- his genin assigned hadn't been the most intelligent of the crop, but their heads had been dense enough to survive. The target of this mission would be a creature of black fur, and feline proportions- it had been nothing more then a black cat, but a cat of sentimental value. So with that would Takeshi be out here, his gift of vision would be something that would only give him the upper-hand when searching for this animal.

So with God-gifted eyes would he make his choice; the cat had been of up most importance, and he simply couldn't allow it to get away. Luckily for him had his team mates only receive slight head injuries, the rest of their bodies to his softened earth, but it had still been rather dangerous, but their bodies had been stronger- they were shinobi. His speed would easily be enough to catch up with the hair-covered creature. Foot steps to rip from the earth faster then Mother Gaea could comprehend herself, and with that would he jump off the cliff, only to land on the ground safely; this would be nothing compared to tasks in the past.

Grabbing a hold of his team mates, throwing each of them over his shoulder. He'd channel his strength for a second; now wasn't the time to slack off, he needed to get up this cliff quick. With a surge of instant chakra to run through his system would he now achieve the strength and speed of the first chakra gate; leaping the cliff would now be nothing but childs play, and as soon as the task would be complete would the Hyuuga deactivate the gate, now running back tot he village in haste- his team mates health had been in stake, but the objective had now been complete.]

[Ina Tomaharu] - [22/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[They had traveled far from their country of Snow. She wasn't used to working in a team but if it meant getting the job done, then by all means this shit needed to get done.

They sat there peering to what seemed to be the B class Criminal. And as far as Ina could remember, they were 3 Genin and a Chuunin. Soaking from head to toe, each drip made them unbearingly wet. The rain could easily give them away. If they even took a step, he could hear the water shift.

This B-Class Criminal was said to be dangerous. He was a master of Water Ninjutsu, and it happened to be raining. He definitely had a major advantage, but the 4 had an even greater advantage. The element of surprise. It was an assassination after all. He's supposed to be killed without knowing death had struck him.

Ina looked at her three team mates. "Everyone got the plan?" She whispered as they nodded. "We can not let him use his hand seals.

The Genin were to tie their shuriken to separate pieces of ninja wire long enough to be in their distance. They were ten feet away from said target, hiding in wet bushes, near the corner of a village. As they did this to wrap around and attach to the arms of the criminal. The Chuunin would have already smoke bombed him and charged with variety of Earth Jutsus to counter water, and to back up Ina. Ina on the other hand, would have already launched her bell attached to a Kunai into the back of his knee. A spot where it would take him long enough to pull it off. While this is happening, Ina would cast her Invisible Genjutsu on herself, and aim for the kill.

The 4 moved into position as the Criminal reached the corner. Ina was behind said criminal, one genin was to the left of him, one was to the right and the chuunin hid straight in front of him.

The signal was Ina's bell. It was time. Perfect strike into the back of the knee. Ina would make her move. Doing quick, and flawless hand seals, she activated her invisibility to the B-rank Criminal but enabled the others to see her. At the signal, the genin launched their assorted shuriken, stabbing into his arms and pulling towards them. At the same time, The Chuunin unleashed his smoke bombs and charged with earth spikes coming from the ground. What Ina did not anticipate was him jumping. She watched as the Genin were pulled as he winded them up to come closer to him. His hands were nearly touching ready to perform a jutsu. Ina would jump high, following him as well, but behind him. Soaring high, she watched as he was to finish the Genin before she whispered in his ear, "Death." The distraction enabled her invisibility to not get caught as she thrusted the kunai through his head. His eyes wide open as he would fall to the ground like a torpedo into the smoke, colouring the water red.

Ina dropped into the Chuunins arms as the genin looked like they nearly pissed themselves.

"Assassination completed. Let's head home." Ina would say letting the Genin get up on their own and fetch their equipment.]

[b***h was sent on an infiltrating mission. Hehe good. Killing and stealing would be her fun.

She peered down to the two guards from a tree. They were both guarding the main gate. She also knew of a Kenjutsu ninja being a Sakurai. If Ina used any of her chakra, which she relied on so much, she would be detected making life harder.

Over their heads, she would toss a rock which struck a tree making them both look that way. "I'mma go check it out." the farthest from Ina said. She would jump at the opportunity, launching a kunai at the closest man's throat, and running to grab it and slash it open, making him not be able to speak. Though she had alarmed the other guard. He went to scream before Ina launched the kunai once more into his mouth. She would walk up intimidatingly and thrust her fist in his face, finishing him off.

Quickly dragging them to the side, she would dress in their uniform, putting even the gross sweaty helmet on. There. She grabbed the weapon they carried which was a spear and walked into the guards tower to open the gate. Ina charged in worryingly, seeing the three other guards talking. "Help!" She said quietly in a manly voice. She pointed towards the guards' gate as they started their way. They wanted to see what's up. As their backs would be facing her, she thrusted the spear through the spine of the middle one. Falling over, the two would turn to Ina's fist planting itself again the one to the left's face, as she twisted and used that bloody Kunai to stab for the face of the other guy. Both was successful, but the one she punched, struck her with his gauntlet across the face. Ina rolled to the ground, slipping one foot behind his foot, and using her other foot to kick the shin, tripping him. Ina would flop on the guard and begin to choke him. Her knees were pinning his arms to the ground as he tried to reach for his spear. His actions were inevitable. He was dead.

The girl would knock on the doors of the entrance inside. It was opened by two more guards. There were tons!

In her man voice, Ina pretended she was trying to catch her breath. "We were invaded, but we fought them off. 6 casualties sir."

"But 4 were guarding outside..."

"And two more here."

She said as she had already grabbed their heads and smashed their faces together. Stumbling to yell, she used the same Kunai to slit the first ones through open, grabbing the spear that the other tried to hit her with, with her other hand. With it she would pull him closer and shove her hand down his throat as he tried to yell. Clutching the Kunai tighter she would stab between his eyes, creating a great blood bath in this entrance way. She was already covered with most of it. Pulling her hand out of his mouth, she led him to the ground silently. She had just killed and killed and killed.

"The scroll" She whispered as she walked into the hallway. No one was present. She knocked against the wall as she noticed one guard peer forth. She beckoned him over silently. He made a slight jog over as Ina frowned. "Look." She pointed at the bloody mess.

"You're...a...a...monster." He dropped his spear in fear as he started to run. By then, her Kunai had already met his face, and she led him to the ground silently.

Ina would pull off the sweaty armor and take off her headband. Next she would pull off her clothing, leaving her bra, sandals and underwear. She would deal with the next round seductively. Which so happened to be two guards lazing around. Ina would release a 'sexy' "Hello." Lifting her bra up to support her well built chest. They looked at her and approached her. "A cute lil’ lady like you shouldn't be in a place like this, but let us lead you somewhere where you might belong." He would wink as Ina nearly would throw up. The two took her to the bathroom of the place as they took off their armor. Dropping their spear as well. Ina would grab it, using it as a pole. Riding up and down from it, she had them where she wanted them. She kicked the bottom of the spear, flipping it in a circle as it would stab into the guard on the right's head, and uppercut the one on the left. Ina would then grab the guard on the left, and smash his face into the mirror cutting him deeply as she would lead him to a toilet and shove his head in there. She had made too much noise in here already. She kicked the guard who got stabbed, pulling the spear out of his head and into his chest. They were dead.

But one more came. It was a girl. She wielded a sword and looked at Ina surprisingly. "You will pay." The sakurai said. "With your life."

She almost soared with an instant, her sword ready to taste Ina's skin but it did not. Ina had flung opened a stall door which caught the sword. She would pull the door back, seeing she had not let go. Ina's foot would kick upward, meeting the Sakurai's chin forcing her to let go of the sword. Ina grabbed the sword and just before hiding in the stall, she saw the Sakurai was getting up. Ina now had her sword which pissed her off. She thrusted her foot through the door only to find Ina was not there. The Sakurai would attach a bomb tag to the wall, immediately setting it off as she ran out of the stall. Ina rolled from out of a different stall as she nearly kissed a Kunai, thrusted by the Sakurai. Ina tried to impale this other b***h but the sword was grabbed and pulled out of her hands. "It's over." The Sakurai said as she swung her sword to chop Ina's head off. Ina rolled under the counter, dodging the sword, but it cutting off some of her hair. Next she would take a chance. She rolled out swiftly out of cover as she through an exploding puch which captured the Sakurai's attention. Using a handseal, Ina would activate it, once she reached under the stall causing a major explosion in the washrooms. Coughing up ashes, Ina rolled out to view her opponent....in pieces. She picked up her opponents sword and would use it just in case.

It seems as though she annihilated the fortress rather than infiltrate it.

Opening the doors, she would view the scroll in the center of the fortress. Half nakedly, she would run to grab it when a staff would meet her face. She fell to the ground rubbing her head. She looked up as her hands connected using a few hand seals. She kicked the podium which held the scroll, sliding her out of the way for the next strike. Finishing the hand seals, she would open her mouth and scream her loudest, blasting him away as well as the podium and the scroll. By the time he got up, Ina was gone. It was a short burst of scream, which enabled Ina to use more hand seals and turn invisible. She would gently toss one of her bells as it landed beside the boy. He swung his Bo only to his air, and once air was hit, Ina had already rushed him, still Invisible, impaling him through the chest. "You fought well kid." She stated watching him fall at her feet.

"The scroll is mine." With thus, Ina found her clothes and would leave the premises before any more came.]

[Ina watched her teammates fail embarrassingly at the catch of a priceless Polar Bear! They had fallen down the snowy cliff now not conscious and the polar bear was growling at Ina.

This bear wanted the job finished. And a finished job it would get. It faced Ina glaring at her. It did not have to worry about the other two right now and believed it was quite capable of taking Ina out.

It would leap as Ina rolled out of the way, but it jumped a second time right on top of Ina. Its jaws went straight to crush Ina’s face but Ina would keep the mouth separated. The girl could just taste the hot steamy breath coming off the polar bear. The owner definitely didn’t brush its teeth. As the teeth would get closer, Ina would raise her head and bite the Polar Bear’s nose. An instant sneeze would come out, soaking Ina, but giving her the time to backwards summersault out of the Polar bear’s danger zone and start her run. The Polar Bear would follow closely after. Ina knew she couldn’t harm the bear or else the owner would be mad. The Genjutsu Master would pick up her bell and angle it as they ran through a windy area. The bear had been blinded a bit but knew that Ina held the bell. The girl would toss it to the side, the bear flinching to the side as well. Ina jumped on its back, thrusting her elbow into the back of its neck. “We’re going home.” Ina yelled into its ear as it thrashed about t get Ina of its back. Ina squeezed tightly as she would quickly make a blow to its head, by bottom fisting it. “Home.” Ina called out in dominancy. As it thrashed about, it would smash into a tree, slipping and falling. Now it was unconscious. It still breathed but barely. The wind would clear up as Ina would watch their pathway. It had previously smashed into other trees and rock side cliffs.

Sighing, Ina would tie her rope around it, throwing her Light bomb up in the air as if it was a flare to call for help. Her rope restricted its muzzle, and paws.


Ina would begin to drag the beast waiting for someone to come. Maybe her team mates would come. But she didn’t know if they were dead or alive.

Dragging and dragging and dragging, hoping that someone would come.

Her team mates had caught up smling. "You got it!" But then frowned. "The lest you could've done was help us out."

The group would drag the Polar bear back to its owner where the owner had broken into tears of happiness. Though she did not help her team mates, at least the mission was completed and that's what counted.]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ This situation does look dire indeed, however, the advantage of numbers outweighs the advantage of simply having mastered a specific release. As we are a Team, we would all be well aware of our teammates specific strengths and weaknesses -- not to mention we know of the criminal's abilities and would plan accordingly. The Ninja with the strongest defensive capability, with releases such as wood or earth, which would likely include myself and the chuunin would draw the enemy ninja's fire; utilizing our defensive techniques to neutralize and evade his attempts at attacking us drawing his fire away from the main assault. It is unlikely that we could outmatch him in direct attacking, and therefore the two genin would not seek to directly harm the criminal but to wound him in critical spots such as the limbs for an easier completion of a final blow. These genin would employ the skills (being most likely of the wind, earth, or wood release) during the periods where the Chuunin and myself were leading the Criminal into attacking us, nearly ensuring the hitting of the critical spots such as limbs or the torso. With each successful blow the criminal would tire and would just as likely perhaps lose a limb. The Genin will be unlikely to be able deliver a severe enough blow (regardless of intentions to kill the criminal). So, in the end, when the criminal had become exhausted enough the Chuunin leader would go for the final blow; ending his life and completing the mission.

Many additional contingencies would be taken, the leading of the attacks onto the defenders (which include myself) to be synchonized with the attacking of the attackers who were going for the wounding of the ninja, to ensure they not get hurt during the incursion. If one does get wounded to the point where he is unable to do his job correctly he will be forced to go a safe distance, or be taken a safe distance and the plan will continue. If two genin get harmed, the advantage the man has by being a master of suiton will become more daunting, and to ensure no one else becomes too harmed we will be forced to retreat. The retreat pattern will be covered by myself and the chuunin, whilst the genin help each other escape. When we can escape, we will to do so too, prioritizing the safety of the genin.

Another plan that would be used in the case that the first doesn't work would be to take the criminal's advantage away from him. During the fray, using the strategy in the first plan the chuunin and myself will lead the criminal out of the rain in such a way that he will not notice. A place such as a building or underground somehow is where we will find solitude. In these places he loses his advantage, and the advantage of our superior numbers increases.]

------------------------------------------

[As I have been given the layout of the mansion a plan would have been pre-assembled to use, with various installed contingencies; several as failsafes in case of capture, and several if confounding variables happen to show up. Now, there would be three routes into the compound, or rather there would be three main routes into and out of the compound. The most direct route would obviously be the shortest and likely the most guarded; the path most unlikely taken. There would be a round-a-bout route, the longest, but safest. And, finally, there would would be route in between, possibly with varying degrees of danger during certain time intervals of patrolling.

On the notion of patrols, I would have had to scout before actually going through with going inside. By scouting I would mark down the exact routes on a makeshift map of the compound that could be made just using the abundant dirt and a stick to mark it. The scouting would allow me to take note of the exact timing intervals of the guards pattern of walking about the complex, and configure such into the pre-rendered plan of entry. It is likely that the shortest and longest ways will be the most heavily guarded ways as they will represent the more direct (through the front door) and indirect (around the back) routes. It is for this reason the middle route will be the most likely employed. Timing and sticking to the shadows will be everything. I need not exert any chakra in the use of Jutsu on something that could just be so easily tackled by using the Shinobi skills taught to me upon my conception as an academy ninja.

Such tactics would include allowing myself to maintain balance control by allowing my body weight to sink and be carried by deeply flexed knees, breathing along with my movement, using all joints for movement; emphasizing fluidity through the engagement of the ankles, knees, and hips for steeping. To reduce the silence of my movement further maintaining my weight and balancing my weight on a grounded leg while I move my leg into a good position to bear the weight, would be used. If the corridors would allow so I would allow my hands to float lightly in front of and beside my torso, one arm higher and one arm lower, using them as a detection method for possible obstructions before my body weight is committed to encounter them. Being patient overrides the need for haste, it is necessary to first reach the objective unseen before hastily exiting, if such is required, depending on whether or not the guards check on the scrolls regularly. Other methods of silent travel can be used depending on the transition of terrain. It may not be necessary to move so slowly and limberly through the outside or wooded area as it would be to move through the complex.

If someone were to notice my moving about, instinctively I would stop and hold my position true. It would be a necessity to completely stop, if I cannot see my would-be undoer, to listen to for signs of movement from others that would signal that I have been heard. Sinking lower into a lower more relaxed position, I would relax my body, if I hadn't been spotted, continuing such pause for as long as necessary to regain composure and allow possible un-doers to think that they really didn't hear anything at all.

If I did get caught it would fall itself into three situations. The first would be that it was only one guard that caught me in the act, and if such I would take him down using my own taijutsu ability. In a small enclosed space one vs. one, it will come down to the speed and precision of attacks, which even the basic of ninja training affords me over a simplistic guard, regardless of his specialties. Using only taijutsu (I well versed in taijutsu myself, knowing some of Ake Sune, Wrestling, Shiorikiri, and basic precision fighting), as that is all that is really needed I will take him down quickly and efficiently, then seek to put him in a spot where he will be less likely to be seen easily. The second situation would be if I was seen by two or more guards at once, which would require me to possibly flee. If I had the scroll in my possession I would simply seek to flee, rather than risk battling and injuring myself or becoming captured in the process. I could also employ tactics to possibly separate and individually take down each guard without them knowing it. In the last situation, me not having the scroll, I would simply need to take out my pursuer, or if there was more than one the multiplicity, separating and then dominating each one by one. After getting the scroll the need for stealth though still there is much less, haste is needed to leave before a guard gets the bright idea to check on the merchandise.

Using these tactics there is no need to use ninjutsu at all, each guard can be individually taken out by themselves to ensure summary liquidation and basic ninja stealth coupled with precision scouting and planning used to get by them easily. Simple.]

[This situation is rather arduous, I not typically understanding how my teammates could make such a fatal error in judgment and then sequentially hurt themselves in such a way. However, such a digression in thought will not stray me from my task. It is most obvious that had there not been any way around it I would have been forced to help my teammates over the completion of the mission. One missions incompletion, of which can possibly be completed later, is of a smaller consequence than the losing of two teammates. Luckily, my own skills may allow me to amend such a situation, completing my task and saving my comrades all at once.

Whilst running toward the animal, in such a way not to frighten it off immediately, I'd begin the completion of a set of handseals. Upon completion of these handseals my chakra would enact upon paper within the holsters stored on my person. Almost immediately several clones of myself would materialize, using this paper as the material to become bunshin capable of enacting upon the physical world. It is with this ability that the bunshin would be capable of helping me in my plot to save my comrades and capture the animal. I have the ability to construct six total bunshin, and therefore I would split their numbers down the center, sending half (3) to get the animal and half (3) to aid me in saving my teammates. My ability to create simple ropes and the like using Kami Kusari (Chain Letter) will allow me to both extend and detract ropes down to help my friends. My paper bunshin can then help them in some way, securing them to the paper ropes for transportation back up, and then carrying them safely with us back home.

With that task complete, the next task of catching the animal shouldn't represent much of a hassle. Using my paper bunshin to corner the animal I would only need a short amount of time to catch the animal within a paper prison of sorts, a result of a mere fraction of my paper manipulation abilities. There would be no escape from this prison by the animal due to my paper's immense strength, resulting in full by my own paper strengthening abilities, the resulting paper being as hard as titanium]

[ "Are you guys ready?" The young genin asked her other teammates if they were finished prepping their items at the village gates, before heading off to their predetermined destination. In the bottom of her stomach, she was really nervous. It had been her first assassination mission assigned to her and she didn't want to mess things up. This was...all real. Though as hard as it was for her to understand that her whole team's life was on the line, she mustered up the guts to keep on moving along. With a deep sigh to herself, comrades then replied with a single, 'yes' and with those few words uttered, they all left off to the journey of the Rain Country.

Many people didn't realize it, but traveling was probably one of the most notable aspects of any mission. It allows a team to conjure up an effective plan once they arrive at the crime scene. While their bodies were physically sprinting through the land or jumping on random tree branches, their mind was actively clanking and working proficiently. "So..I guess we should begin planning." The rebellious teen who wore a Gothic attire, short hair, red nails, black skin-tight jeans, is now attempting to help lead the team since she too is a good analytic ninja. The first part of this task was to figure out exactly who they were as a team. What could they all do, and who was best at what, and how should they enter.

"Though we all may have worked together before in the past, let us just remind ourselves of our specialties and weakness, to sort of refresh our memory." There was no harm in repeating any previous information said before, so the group then told each other about their specialties and what they could do to a full extent. Also, their disadvantages. Just in case the enemy had some sort of ninja art that could defeat one of their comrades, Guan-Yin wanted to be prepared. The Chuunin on the group also told the group about his knowledge and even his weaponry. "Good idea, weapons and equipment are also a special part to any mission. As you see, we had to be fully stocked at the village gates before leaving, to ensure that we had everything we need."

All of this information would be used later, but for now the group had to continue press on with other important matters. "Alright, good. There is one opponent, and four of us." Her voice was solid and direct into the teammates mind, things were beginning to flesh out even more. "Our opponent is a master of the water release, meaning that he also has the water release mastery -- being able to produce water from thin air, at a cost of chakra of course. This could be dangerous, so we have to be weary when facing him. Our best bet is to keep this as three single teams amongst us four." Her plan was slowly revealing herself to the group as they crossed the border to the Rain Country, and headed immediately for the Rain City Capital.

"Notice how the landscape is beginning to change. Rainfall is heavy at six o'clock, meaning their water techniques will be even more easier to utilize then before. Though, this maybe a slight advantage towards the enemy, it is also a bigger one for us." Her teammates looked at her with great curiosity, how could that be an advantage for them? The Chuunin on the team smiled for he could already anticipate what the rebellious team was inferring. "You see..with the rainfall this heavy, chances are, our opponent is going to use water-based ninjutsu, just like we planned. Remember, our goal is to assassinate this ninja, so we must not only fight him, but ensure that he doesn't escape."

The back root of this entire operation was quite accurate. They neared the city capital, and this is where things began to pick up. "Alright, I want the two mid-close range fighters up front. Don't fight to close to each other, but you will both be used as decors to the man. Keep your attacks simultaneous with each other, and make sure if he hits one of you, the other is there to back him up. Your two goal is to get him off guard by having him attack you. Though this ninja is skilled, if he tries to ignore either one of you, your attacks will eventually land a hit and that is how we get him.

Secondly, I want the long to mid-range fighter much more behind those two previous ones. You are to use your swift yet effective techniques to bind the opponent anyway you can. If the two up front somehow get knocked down, you have to intervene immediately and distract him until they can recuperate, and then they will try to bind him. We need one ninja hiding deeper from the field yet having a scouting abilities. Just in case he flees the area, they can surprise attack him while the long range comrade pins him down, and the mid-fielders regain distance on him."

Activating her byakugan, she located the target from about one-hundred yards away. She'll be the scouter on this mission, and so far things were going well. The two genin would approach the target from two different sides, the far left and right -- with the chuunin in the middle approaching a bit behind them in the middle. Guan-Yin strategically placed to the rear out of sight. They are fully prepared for this mission, and with the opponent's skill statics ringing in the back of their minds, they would be ready to defend from any attacks he gives to them, defend, counter, and apprehend the culprit. Ninja handseals were being preformed by the opponent and immediately they other teammates got into a battle ready stance. She bit the bottom of her lip and hoped for the best on a mission success~]

------------------------------------------

[Two..three, five. Five guards patrolling the outer parts of the mansion. The youthful rebellious teen was stationed about one-hundred yards away from the actual mansion, hidden behind the various trees and vegetation that the Fire Country had to offer her. She'd observe her target's location with a most careful eye -- the byakugan while taking note of several key details. Her inner-mechanisms began working instantly at the moment she activated her piercing doujutsu. She began comparing the parchment layout of the mansion which she was given earlier for this mission to her current knowledge of how it looks in person. Visual arts of the map within her mind filled with the guards, doors, passageways, and other likely substances was floating through her head as she wonder which way of entrance would prove to be most effective.

One, two...four, five. Five guards stationed within the mansion as well. Taking note of the surveillance of this highly guarded mansion, she had to make sure there was no one amiss during her search. If all goes well, she'd study their patterns of all of those guarding the mansion and like a ninja, slip carefully within the building and complete her infiltration successfully. The way the guards were position was nothing but the best, as expected. This mission was a solo mission, because one false move from you or your partner, even if it was minor, could set off the 'alarm' and cause a mission failure. The hallways didn't leave much room for her to work and each guard watched over a passageway, so she had to be extremely diligent with her work.

So that is where the scroll is located at...one, two?! Her search wasn't over just yet, and while she was carefully scanning the mansion area with her white evil eyes activated, she easily found the most center room where the scrolls were being held. To her surprise, there was not just a single guard protecting them, no..there were two. But come to think of it, why would you ever leave just one guard to watch over secretive, stolen goods. It doesn't make sense, so she shrugged off the notion and began to calculate several different situation in which she should take in order to retrieve the merchandise. This had to go off without a hitch for the girl's sake and the village.

Just like the calm before the storm..it was time. Winds from the west began to pick up dramatically as the girl's stomach grew tighter. Damn the scenery. It made everything seem more -- dangerous then they really were. Her small fragile right hand pressed up against her rapidly beating heart and she repeatedly told herself to calm down. Closing her eyes with deep, slow breaths in between she managed to slow the pace of her heart to a more reasonable rate and lessened her anxiety. Reopening her eyes, they no longer held the evil within them [she deactivated the byakugan] and then focused her chakra elsewhere. Showtime. She clasped her hands together and like a huge rush of adrenaline, her chakra began to flow violently within her body as she preformed about twelve handseals.

Using the Limited Invisibility jutsu, she touched herself with her chakra filled hands to make herself invisible to all of those who view her. Chakra all around her in a sphere made it impossible to spot her unless you had some sort of doujutsu such as the byakugan or uchiha. [Unfortunately for the Sakari clan, they could not see the residual flow of chakra that is a genjutsu]. Slowly but steadily, the mysterious child crept up to the mansion through the forest as quiet as she could, while the thunder began to crack within the sky occasional. She could tell it was going to pour soon, which was not good. The feelings all around her began to grow even more as she saw the guards shift positions every few minutes, just like she studied from afar. Her timing had to be just right.

Though they didn't even properly realize it, the basement to this mansion was completely unguarded, and with her luck she was able to find a direct route there. She ran over towards the basement door and used a kunai from her goodie bag to pick the door open. A crack of thunder burst throughout the sky as the basement door was no unlocked. She slowly placed the item away and started to walk down the steps, closing the door behind it. Rain was beginning to fall after she closed the door, and knew that so far she was safe. Mental flash backs of the mansion began to reemerge through her head once more.

Okay, from the basement, I can go up the stairs towards the kitchen where there is an elevator shaft that I can ride up towards the center floor... Nodding to herself silently as weird as it may sound, she would then maneuver slowly up the stairs of the basement while the multiple poundings of the rainfall hit the house and disguised her minor footsteps. Good, she'd open the door of the basement slightly and place a grenade behind that door that would go off at a predetermined time. Quick! She had to move fast as the grenade would go off any minute, she slipped through another room and managed to enter the kitchen, where she climbed into the small shaft and used minor chakra on her feet to climb up it.

Boom! Perfect, the trap has been set. The smoke grenade went off near the basement and the first floor became rigged with nothing but people filled with hindered sight. A guard screamed calling for backup upstairs, and a few more guards went to the first level to investigate the situation. 'Guard the perimeters!' They knew the blast came from the basement, so cautiously they traveled down their to investigate the situation. Unknowingly though, the rebellious teen was long gone from the basement level and traveled up to the center room, where her next stage would now begin.

Carefully planting fifteen makibishi around the stairs to the upper level and lower level, she'd ensure if the guards decided to leave the center floor or stay they'd be in for a hell of a surprise when they step upon her spiky tracks. She took another grenade rolled it across the ground around the corner to distract the few remaining guards left. She knew that the guard would see the item, but once it left off a huge amount of smoke their visibility would not only be hindered, but then they would no doubt try to seek either higher or lower grounds -- thus setting up her very traps.

While they were distracted she'd open the door and enter the room still invisible, while the two remaining guards would probably look surprised. One of them would probably venture outside to help their comrade, but once she opened the door the smoke from the hallway would fill the center room with no windows and thus she would take the scroll and conceal it on her person, thus it too would be invisible. Quickly making her exit from the room while a storm was still occuring outside, she'd take the remaining five makibishi and throw it towards the window, and then she'd crash outside of it and land casually onto the outer floor like a true ninja.

She'd dash into the forest still invisible, hoping that even if they attempted to secure the area, with no traces available for them to find her, her infiltration would be a success. Unfortunately she'd just have to keep her genjutsu on until she was completely out of the area and back a stopping point. It would be foolish to go directly home if they somehow managed to track her, so she traveled to various shops first before making it back to the village gates...]

[Stupid teammates. Activating the byakugan, Guan-Yin would instantly be aware of all of her surroundings. She'd measure the distance between her and the animal to a precise millimeter, and also to what extent were her partners injured on their 'fall'. Quickly unraveling a summoning scroll, she'd bit her right thumb and produce the multiple seals needed to conjure up one of her puppets.

Once summoned, she'd have her puppet spring forward at a fast pace towards the animal and grab hold of it, while hopping backwards until she neared her teammates. Her puppets could go as far as one-hundred meter, and seeing as her technique usage was fast, once she'd capture the animal she'd call back her puppet with a flick of her wrist, yet still holding a sturdy grip on it. She'd take the animal under her arm and allow for her puppet to despire back into the scroll, while waking up her partners to seek medical attention and collect their reward.

Though if they faced fatal wounds, she'd have no choice but to summon two puppets and rush them to the local hospital to have them checked out, but a ninja normally didn't hurt themselves from a 'fall' so easily..at least not critically wounded.]

[Tyro] - [28/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ He just left the Hokage Tower after receiving his assassination mission.. He had also already met his team and had been briefed. The team now knew that the enemy Rain ninja's capabilities, as well as his mastery of water jutsu. They also knew his last known location. The team would now make their way out of Leaf Village. The trip toward Rain Country was peaceful, as it was through friendly territory. However when they neared the Rain border, Tyro made sure to have the team armed with the following:

x4 Communications Device
X12 Senbon

and have each equipped with one and three respectively. The equipment if not already provided would be bought at the Basic City at the near border of Rain and Fire country.

They continued on through Fire County and into Rain Country. At this juncture Tyro would have his team remove their headbands. If met with opposition to the idea, he would explain to his comrades that without their Leaf headbands they had no village affiliation. It would appear for them to be travelers instead of assassins and thus nobody would question them.

As they neared the capitol Tyro would be able to see the torrential rains and then notice the teams worry. He would comfort them with, "Don't worry the rain won;t help him at all. The water mastery allows you to create water only. If water already exists it is pointless. Instead, we'll use the rain as cover."

They reached the capitol and once there Tyro would give his next request. This one would be their entrance plan of having each of them enter at five minute intervals and meet at the villages town center. The different arrival times would let them avoid suspicion and with their Communications Devices they could point out any troubles. Once they all arrived into the capitol he would point out the lackadaisical emotion.

This he told the team to use to their advantage. The enemy would likely be effected by the cities attitude, and have his guard down.


When they found the enemy, one of the two following methods would be used to kill him.

1.Using the information on the team's abilities learned at the start of the mission, one member would point out the enemy location and place him under a genjutsu to distract or lull him into no guard for example:

Distracting Pattern
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A pattern that in which done, simply used for distractions.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A simple Pattern technique of lights, patterns or anything else that is needed to create a pattern in which distracts those seeing for a brief moment.. When the user is "D" Class, the user is capable of performing this technique off into the distance of thirty meters. When the user is "C" Class, the user is capable of performing this technique off into the distance of forty meters. When the user is "B" Class, the user is capable of performing this technique off into the distance of fifty meters. When the user is "A" Class, the user is capable of performing this technique off into the distance of sixty meters. When the user is "S" Class, the user is capable of performing this technique off into the distance of seventy meters.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception of GenJutsus


Tenrai Meimu: Hitorine no Jutsu (Divine Illusion: Sleeping Alone Technique)
Rank: “B” Rank
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Creates a false, sweet smell that lulls an opponent to sleep.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Must hold the Ram seal until the opponent is asleep, or else the technique will wear off.
Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a false, sweet scent that fills the opponent’s nostrils. Their reaction times will immediately begin to slow, reducing speed and effective combat ability by 20% per turn. After the fifth turn, if the Genjutsu has not been dispelled, the opponent will fall asleep for five turns unless touched.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception



The other team mates would then pinpoint his position and reveal their senbon, launching them at several vitals (heart, lungs, throat, eyes, etc.) to kill the enemy. The action should take barely a few seconds of time, and allow a swift kill. The team would then conceal the small senbons again and exit, still looking inconspicuous.

-or-

2. After one member notified the team about the enemies location, the team would surround him, using rooftops, or other hidden positions to do so. One shinobi would then launch a single senbon, to get his attention, before the others would launch a number of senbon, aiming at the same vitals. The distraction of the first could allow the others to strike fatally. They would then escape in the same manner as the first scenario.]

[10/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – Good spelling and grammer.
Correct Style – 1 point –He was doing the mission.
Originality – 4 points – He took into account the description of the rain capital. He also had the team enter the village at different times so no one would think they were there to assinate. They took of their head bands so people would think they were travelers. They used senbon and genjutsu to kill so people would notice it was them.
Usage of Given information – 3 points – He did state that their team knew of the criminal's capabilities. Stated he was a master of water jutsu. He talked about it raining. He mentioned that it was in the rain capital.
Completion of mission – 1 point – He did complete the mission.
------------------------------------------

[He had received the mission and was briefed promptly. He now knew the location of the mansion stronghold and that at least one ninja was keeping the Leaf Village Scroll, as well as the mansion structure. He would first work on his espionage and head toward the mansion. The following item would be equipped to aid the effort:

x1 Binoculars

He approached the mansion and using the tree and bush cover natural to the Fire Country, he would scout the stronghold on each side, staying out of distance but seeing with the binoculars. This scouting would lead to the following information: the patrol pattern of the guards outside, the weapons of the guards, and the location of some guards inside. Quite possibly he may discover the two ninja. Most importantly he would be able to see which rooms would be least guarded, and the locations that only a single guard entered.

He would continue to scout until night where he would make his assault. The first step would be to get close to the mansion using the natural foliage, as well as the night time darkness. Now, assuming that the mansion has four walls,one side would have two guards at all times, and the others having one each. Tyro would station himself close to the mansion, and attack the guard walking fastest with the following technique:

Deadly Blow[70]
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Brawler is capable of striking an opponent with such strength, and such power to where a single punch is capable of knocking a man out, creating a concussion, or comma effect for the duration of the battle.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: A technique where the user hits the opponent with such force that they deliver a punch with enough force, and enough precision in subdual damage to where the opponent is knocked out unconscious with a single blow. The opponent stays down for a number of rounds before they are slowly brought out of their unconscious state. When using this technique the user sacrifices the knowledge of a Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist) technique. Depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent the Deadly Blow lasts for only so long within an amount of rounds.

* D Class - The Opponent is stunned for Two rounds
* C Class - The Opponent is stunned for Three rounds
* B Class - The Opponent is stunned for Four rounds
* A Class - The Opponent is stunned for Five rounds
* S Class - The Opponent is stunned for Six rounds


If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher then the reduction goes up by one. After three classes or more then the technique is uncapable of working against the opponent.
Limit: Must know Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist)

The strike would instantly put the guard into unconsciousness. Now, because he attacked the guard walking fastest, he would be able to drag his body into the foliage. He would wait in the foliage once more and allow one guard to go by before pouncing on the guard after that with the same technique. That body too would be taken into the trees and hidden.

The actions done meant that the patrol was now missing a guard on opposite sides, allowing a good window of time for his escape route. He would now wait until the final guards walked by, the pair of two, and using the scouting he had done enter the room least guarded through a window. Due to the mansion being so large and only having seven guards placed in a large area, trivial things like locking a vast amount of windows would be forgotten easily. He would enter the said room and make sure the lights were off. Here he could begin a scent based genjutsu.


Tenrai Meimu: Hitorine no Jutsu (Divine Illusion: Sleeping Alone Technique)
Rank: “B” Rank
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Creates a false, sweet smell that lulls an opponent to sleep.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Must hold the Ram seal until the opponent is asleep, or else the technique will wear off.
Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a false, sweet scent that fills the opponent’s nostrils. Their reaction times will immediately begin to slow, reducing speed and effective combat ability by 20% per turn. After the fifth turn, if the Genjutsu has not been dispelled, the opponent will fall asleep for five turns unless touched.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception

In the case that the Sakurai had his eyes active, the genjutsu would succeed because:

Drawback: Even though the user can perceive the flow of chakra through ninjutsu, the user does not have the capability of copying or gaining knowledge of the technique. The user of the Ichkaku can not perceive the flow of chakra after genjutsu and thus, not pierce it. Maintaining an activated Ichkaku requires a small amount of chakra to be flowed constantly to the eye, much like the Sharingan.

From the scouting done he would know where each guard would be and could target those rooms specifically. Then, he would hold the technique for thirty seconds to assure that the technique was done fully. The entire mansion guard would smell the sweet scent and be put to sleep. Tyro could then go to the scroll and take it, then exit using the same window after assuring himself that the guards were unconscious and his way was clear.]

[10/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1 point – Good spelling and grammer for the most part.
Correct Style – 1 point – He was doing the mission.
Originality – 4 points – He used bush and tree cover since that was how alot of fire country is. He used binoculars to find out where the guards were and how many. He took out two guards from opposite sides so there would be two missing. He used a genjutsu to put everyone in the house to sleep.
Usage of Given information – 3 points – He stated the knowing of the layout. He used binoculars to find out the amount of guards inside and outisde the house. He used genjutsu which the sakurai would not be able to trace, so he didn't need to worry about getting caught by him.
Completion of mission – 1 point – Mission complete.

------------------------------------------

[His teammates had spotted the animal and had already chased after it. Tyro would be close behind, also in the chase but he would see both of his teammates fall off the cliff. This is how his scenario began.

Firstly, never one to be idle, Tyro would also be in the chase behind his teammates near the cliff edge. He would take a quick look down that would decide he next action.

1.If the cliff was over a water source (lake, pond, sea, etc.) Tyro would immediately begin hand seals for the following:


Suiton: Chiisaimizubakahatsu (Tiny Water Explosion)[free]
Rank: “D”
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small wave of water that rushes towards an opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: N/A
Description: The user performs the handseals described in special. There, they release chakra into the water and send a small tidal wave (about five feet tall) towards the opponent. The water moves at a speed of about ten miles per hour, so a direct hit from the water can be painful, but not life-threatening.
Limit: Water Release

The water would be gentle enough to hit without breaking the precipice and he would now be able to begin this:

Deido Hashira no Jutsu (Mud Pillar)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A pillar of mud fires out of a muddy area aimed from below a target. It reaches a max of 10 meters.
Special: Dog, Rat
Drawback: It needs mud in the area to be used.
Description: The user fires a burst of mud out of a muddy area. This technique is not very damaging and was designed to impair or stall a target so the user can close in on them. It can be used in tandem with the Deido Sakana no Jutsu.
Limit: Earth Release

and could lift each teammate individually up to his height where they were safe. His actions were brought about by quick thinking. He thought that if the animal was already lost than extra time finding it would not be questioned and so long as they could find it later then the teams lives were his priority.

2. Tyro would look over the cliff and if not able to see a water source would instead face the animal. Performing the needed handseals and taking any necessary steps to keep the animal in the 25 meter distance, he would perform:

Mimicry of the Earth[30]
Rank: C
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Causes the dirt/ rock to move and form the shape of the user’s hands underground.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Can’t be used to create another techniques hand signs. User must have hands underground, otherwise the rocks will only hold until provoked into breaking, but in the case of using dirt the formation will break as soon as both hands leave the ground.
Description: After performing the correct hand signs the user plunges his hands into the ground, there by causing the earth to move anywhere between 3 and 30 feet in distance from his current position. The earth then mimics what hand movements are done underground through connections in the ground that run directly from the users hands. This can be used to grab the enemy, punch the enemy, and strangle the enemy. Anything that can be done normally with the users arms can be done. Technique can be canceled if the line in the ground either is severed, by the enemy interrupting it or if the user pulls his/her hands out. If done with too little chakra the user may be held into the ground.
Limit: Must have Earth Release


He would use the hands to form a cage around the animal and because of the rock cliff that was nearby, the area around would be able to support the cage as he lifted his hands out of the ground. Then he could perform:

Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu - Rock Clone Technique
Rank: B, C-rank for additional training.
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Using their understanding of the earth and minerals within it, the user is capable of bringing those components to the surface, compacting and shaping them into a perfect clone of the user.
Special: Handseals - Dragon, Snake, Ox, Goat, Snake
Drawback: Because of the dense material they are composed of, the clones are rather slow moving when compared to the average shinobi. A source of earth is also needed. (Meaning, if you are in a ship in the middle of the ocean, you will not be able to use this.) In addition, due to the amount of chakra taken to harden and sculpt the earth, only a maximum of five clones can be created per round.
Description: After performing the proper handseals, the user’s chakra surges into the earth, compacting it tightly to form stone. This stone then surfaces and sculpts itself, becoming an exact copy of the user. When first learned, the user has the ability to create two clones. This amount will also increase naturally depending on the difficulty class of the user. The Clones are capable of using any technique affiliated to their element.

* D --- 2 clones
* C --- 4 clones
* B --- 6 clones
* A --- 8 clones
* S --- 10 clones


For C-rank training, the user can also increase the amount of clones created by one, up to a maximum 20 clones.
Being composed of stone, these clones are much more stable and durable than most others. Depending on the difficult class of the user, they can take so many hits before losing their form and crumbling. Note that if the attacks these clones take are TaiJutsu, the amount is reduced by one. This means while a clone at C rank might be able to take 2 C-rank Ninjutsu, 1 C-rank Taijutsu strike will shatter it. Unless there is an attack that states otherwise, thrown weaponry and stabbing/slashing weaponry count as D-rank attacks. Bludgeoning weapons (such as hammers or clubs) are C-rank strikes. This is because it is easier to smash a stone then it is cut it. The formula is that for each rank in difficulty the user is, the clone may take two strikes of that level, or any combination, as long as the following applies: 1 S = 2 A = 4 B = 8 C = 16 D. (One difficulty class equals two of the previous) Ex. At B rank, a clone would be able to take 1 B-rank strike, and 2 C-ranks. Alternatively, it could take 2 C-ranks and 4 D-ranks. Many combinations are possible, as long as they add up.
Limit: Earth Release, 'C' rank in Rock Creation.


and place just one clone on the precipice he team was on. Then begin inning more Mimicry of the Earths he could make a makeshift stairway up the cliff side that the clone could use to carry each member up to Tyro.]

[Weeze Brighteyes] - [30/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ Weeze was crouched down trying his best to keep out of site, and dry in the hard pouring rain. With him were three other people. Two of them where Genin, and the other happen to be a Chunin. All four of them were out side the Rain City capital looking for any sign of trouble. They were hunting a B level class ninja. It had been reported that he was located with in the walls of the capital. It was the team's job to take him out. A job Weeze would hope would go with out a hitch.

Due to the heavy rain, Weeze would not be able to use his Daisan no Me (The Third Eye) technique because of all the rain. The eye would simply turn to mud and wash away. Leaving him with a little less sand, and less chakra. Something he would not to want have less of if he was going up against a B-rank Class criminal, no matter his own skill. The criminal however, was suppose to be a master of water ninjutsu. Which made him all the more dangerous since he was in his own element. Weeze master element was sand, but as he mention before, he would be stupid to use it here. The team had decided, since none of the others had anyway of seeing into the village without actually going in, decided to split up into twos.

Weeze would go with a Genin, and the Chunin would go with the other Genin. They decided to split into smaller groups to help avoid detections. No longer wearing clothes that may have identified them to where they came from, the all now wore very old, very worn traveling clothes which would allow them to fit in more with the crowd and help in their search of the criminal. Weeze had also decided to leave behind giant sand gourd to help hide himself. Carrying that around would make him stick out like a sore thumb. As both groups entered the village, they went there separate ways. Weeze and the Genin with him, both acted as if they were weary travelers looking for fresh food and lodging.

While one was in charge of talking, and trying to figure out information on the city, Weeze would merely look around and pretend to be observing the buildings, and pretended to be interested in the surrounding area, while mildly listening to the conversation going on right behind him. It was there, that he saw the man he was looking for. He was eating in a restaurant all by himself. He was looking at the bustling city capital, on the look out for those who wished him harm. So they had at last found their man. Now all he had to do was wait for him to go somewhere less populated. Civilian casualties would not be easy to explain to the Kage. Weeze would send the other Genin to find the other two while he sat in a near bye alley way, watching the man.

Twenty minutes had passed and he was finally on the move. The rest of the team had not come back yet, meaning he may have to take him on his own. He got up and made a little mark on the side of the building. He knew his team mates would come back here, to this spot. One of them was bound to see the mark and realize where he was headed. As he moved, he saw the area around him was getting less and less populated. It was becoming harder and harder to hide. The criminal would soon realize what was going on and that he was being followed. Weeze, who was still making marks on buildings here and there was getting a little nervous. He was still alone.

It soon became apparent his presence was known. The man had turned around and looked at him. They were now alone in the city streets. The rain poured against the buildings around them. The man had quickly made some hand seals. Seals Weeze had recognized. A very dense, very thick fog had covered the area. And whether the man knew it or not, he had just sealed his fate.

The man was still there. He knew it. He would have heard him running away, And even if he was running, he would not be for long. Weeze took out two windmill shuriken. Opening them up, he sent them flying forward. He would then do the hand seals for the Ninpou: Kari Shuriken (Ninja Art: Hunting Shuriken). It would only be a matter of seconds before he heard the death stroke. Even if he avoided one, he would not be able to avoid the other. This man was finished. Unable to see, or hear the attack coming, he would die there because of his own jutsu.]

[Tap tap tap... Weeze hid among the many trees located in the fire country. The sky over head had become very gray, and had now finally decided to rain. The rain was a light, and would not cause his sand much problems, though he decided he would have to avoid the water as much as possible. He had been staking out a mansion now for the last week. He had rarely left his tree and has had no contact with anyone from his village, or another. His mission was to steal back a very valuable scroll that had been taken, and hidden in the middle of the mansion. After a week of watching the mansion, he seen only five men guarding the outside.

On his second day of watching the mansion, he had used his third eye technique. Shortly after this, he had seen a man with a sword on his back come out and speak with the five guards. He could not hear what was said, however he remembered the ninja pointing vaguely in his general direction. Some how they knew he was there. After a week, his supplies was running low, and he needed to eat before charging in and trying to get the scroll. He went back to a small village not far from the mansion. While he was there, he started to ask around, trying to learn what he could. His village had told him there was only one ninja with in the mansion. For something as valuable as this scroll, to him that did not make sense. His gut had proven to be correct. There was more. He had found a drunk and manage to convince him to tell Weeze everything he knew about the mansion. Apparently he use to be a guard there before he was banished from the grounds for nearly catching the place on fire after he had went out drinking.

The drunken man told Weeze everything he needed to know. There was another ninja in the mansion. She was the one in charge of security. The one his village had told him about was just second in command. Both were missing ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village. The ninja in charge even had a bloodline trait that allows him to sense chakra usage. The ninja however was young. Of course this did not mean anything. Weeze had seen very powerful ninja far younger then himself. Weeze also learned from the drunk that at the same time every night, The five guards that guarded the inside take a one hour break. After their hour, they go outside and watch the outside while the other guards take their break.

Weeze knew from the moment he learned this, this was the window he was waiting for. While the guards were switching out, he would enter the mansion, using no chakra, and try to sneak the scroll from usage. The men would be more worried about filling their empty stomachs then the scroll they guarded. The two ninja on the other hand man become a problem. But as long as Weeze used no chakra, he should be fine. He returned to the mansion, and found a spot on the other side of the mansion so he could see the gates.

He had fallen asleep while he waited. As he slept, he dreamed about the up coming task. One such dream frighten him enough to wake him up sweating nervously. He could not sleep after the dream however and began to focus on how he was getting in. The scroll was located in a room with out a window. Meaning he was not going to be able to get it that easily. He could however, sneak into the mansion through a window near bye. Lucky for Weeze, the window he could sneak into was a spare room, on the complete other side of the mess hall were all the guards ate, and rested. So he would not have to worry about them hearing him entering the building.

Soon the time came, the guards started heading in, and he saw some of the other guards waiting at the gate talking briefly with the ones coming in. Weeze knew he was not going to get any thing better. He quickly rushed to the window. He opened it up from the outside after a moment of struggling. He jumped through the opening and quickly closed the window. He looked around the room and saw old furniture littered the rather large room. He moved slowly peaking around the corner. Seeing the coast is clear, he moved as quickly, and as quietly as he could. He eventually found the room. He saw the scroll. He took it and put it inside his gourd. The safest place he could think of. As he turned around, he saw a ninja with a staff in hand looking at him with a look of shock.

The two stared at each other for a long moment. The missing ninja suddenly attacked with his staff held high. Weeze remembering not to use chakra took out windmill shuriken. He kept it closed and used it as a sword. The two weapons hit each other. A ring seem to fill both his ears. The staff was a metal. The two exchanged blow after blow. Weeze was growing more and more worried. He had to get out of here. He could not afford to waste time with this guy. The man took Weeze moment of thought and knocked his weapon out of his hand. Weeze jumped away and performed hand seals. Sand would suddenly lung out of his gourd and jump at the missing ninja. The sand would form a net. The man had clearly not been expecting this and was struggling with the net. Weeze lifted his hand, sending more sand at the man, and closed his fist tight. Weeze would only hear a sudden intake in air, before the mans blood splattered the wall.

Weeze now knew his cover was blown. The other ninja would be here at any moment, with possible reinforcements. He had to leave. No sooner then he thought this, Weeze saw the the ninja, with a group of three other people, appeared in the door way taking in the signs of battle. Weeze acted quickly. Raising his hands to his lips, he took a deep breath of air, and blew it out using the great break through technique. Sense they were all still in the door way, they had no way of avoiding the hit and were thrown back with such a force, that Weeze was not sure if that was just the walls he heard breaking, or if several of them broke bones. Regardless, he Took advantage of the moment and rushed forward jumped over them all and headed for his exit. He saw a kunai flying past his head. Turning around, he quickly did another Great Break Through technique blowing the men back once more.

The noise was bound to attract more attention. Finding the room he had entered the mansion in, he entered it, locking the door behind him. He heard somebody banging away at the door. Opening a window, he jumped out. A guard saw him and started to charge taking out a Katana. Weeze simply raised his hand again causing sand to wrap the man up. When he closed his fist, the man would die. Weeze quickly headed back into the trees, and would not stop running until he was back into his own country. The scroll safe in his gourd.]

Weeze Brighteyes had been sent on a mission to collect a dog that had run away from a very wealthy person in his home village. With the help of two other Genin, they manage to find it. One of the other Genin however did not stop to think about what he was doing and rushed forward and trips over a cliff falling on his face. The other, trying to help found himself in the same situation. Knocked out, and in danger. Weeze now the only one left on the team who is not knocked out, found himself in a pickle.

The dog was getting ready to run. Knowing he had to act quick, he would perform some hand seals and send a sand net to catch the animal. That would keep the animal occupied long enough for Weeze to think about his two fallen comrades. He knew they could be in danger, and would need medical attention right away. Lucky for Weeze, he did not know any medical jutsus. He would create a sand rope, and tie it firmly on a near bye tree and would go down the cliff carefully. At the bottom, he would make another sand rope and tie the two fallen ninja together. Taking his original rope, he tied it around the rope used to hold the two ninja together. He would then climb back to the top of the cliff and pull them to safety. He would then Then untie his first sand rope and use that sand to make two sand clones.

The two sand clones would go and quickly get the dog. While one held the dog, the other clone would help carry the boys back to the village so they could be looked at. The mission would be a success, but would cost two ninja terrible headaches, and possible head injury.]

SPOILER: Click to show

[ For this mission, they were an assassination squad. The chuunin assigned to them didn’t seem to competent, so it was much like four genin out on a big mission, not really knowing what they were getting into. They rushed to the border, knowing they were there when a torrential downpour began almost instantaneously. Their pace continuing, they would eventually see the signs of civilization appearing, and slow down. They stuck to the trees for now.

The man in question, whom they were here to assassinate, had been recently seen in the capitol, and they for now decided to wait it out, perhaps luring him onto easier territory for their own specialties. Ryu’s own was Wood, and that was her plan. She wasn’t quite sure what she’d do yet, but so far she’d done well at coming up with last minute plans.

It was dark. Luckily the criminal enjoyed wearing brightly colored clothes, and today had decided on a lemon yellow rainjacket, making him incredibly easy to see. The drawback to this was if he knew they were there, he had the advantage of an endless supply of water to use against them, even if it hadn’t been raining.

Preparing handseals, and holding the second to last seal, she watched as he exited the pub he’d been hiding out in, standing in the street at the edge of the capitol. Between him and her were 150 meters of grass, the space between the woods and the wdge of the city, and enough space to where she was certain he could do little to nothing to her from the distance. Holding the final handseal, she’d step into the grass., getting the criminal’s attention.

As he began to run towards her, she’d let him run for ten meters before changing seals to the final seal, releasing her chakra into the grass. Her comrades were in the trees, safe from harm. Suddenly the grass turned a deep shade of purple, and sharpened. The man’s feet would be pierced and filled with a deadly poison, surely reaching his heart soon.

Her chakra was released from the grass, returning it to its green, unsharpened state, and her teammates dropped from the trees, rushing to her location. All the while, she'd been preforming her handseals. She needed to finish before he became unstunned. Her teammates began throwing weapons at him, and he was distracted enough with them and the pain in his feet and legs. Her jutsu finished, a giant tree grew from the ground, and her venomous addition added onto this as well, creating a great green and purple dragon from the earth, that flew down and smashed directly on top of the criminal. Surely he would be finished with that.

Mission completed, they would return to their village with the body.]

[When given this mission, Ryu was nervous. She wasn’t really one to do very well all the time on her own. Atlas didn’t even come with her on this one. She snuck up to a bush outside the building, a little under ten meters from the door, and remained hidden in the edge of the woods. She’d been given the details on the whole place, and knew there were exactly five guards here, and it appeared that none of them were too overjoyed about being there.

The three fore-guards were chatting across a sidewalk, around 60 yards away. The remaining two were standing beside the doors, one seemed to be clipping his nails, and the other had his head resting on the wall of the building. If she was correct, not much action was seen here, and should action occur, they were sure to act on it.

With this in mind, she grabbed a smoke bomb from her bag. With the proper aim, the item would be thrown away from herself and up the trail 20 meters, bringing a large ball of smoke which appeared to have come from a separate part of the woods. As expected, the guards would rush to the area, hoping to have some heroic story of how they bravely protected their mansion. They would find themselves fooled, however, and as she pulled her goggles over her eyes, she rushed to the door, sneaking in and closing the door silently behind her.

Once she was in, the settings on her goggles were changed to heat recognition and she viewed the area from her location hidden in a corner just inside the door. The guards seemed to be dispersed throughout the area. There appeared to be three guards in these hallways, and the door was located to her left, just around the corner. Swiftly, she made to the right. There was a guard on each wall.

The first would be taken out swiftly by snapping his neck from behind. He wasn't paying attention. Grasping the side of his head and his chin, a quick and hard twist to the right and slightly upwards would finish him off. He drooped instantly and she laid him slently on the floor. The next guard was leaning against the wall for a rest, seemingly half asleep, and snoring lightly.

He was easily annihilated by a kunai to the throat. A slight gurgling was made and she slid against the wall as she heard the other guard rushing over. She was quick to shove the kunai in his chest as he ran by, only deepening the wound to his heart, and speeding up his death. As he slumped to the ground, she replaced the bloodied kunai into her bag, and wiped her bloodied hand on her pants.

Moving on.

Replacing her goggles to the top of her head, she'd reach the door. Once in this door, there would be a long hallway, and a turn to the right would greet her with the door to the scroll's room, which contained the remaining guards. The room was rather large, and the scroll's pedestal would be in the center. All she needed was to get in and out.

She replaced the goggles on her head and rushed to the door, opening it and throwing in a smoke bomb quickly. The scrol lwould be grabbed, and a beeline for the door would leave her with an exit. She left the door open and hopped out the window at the end of the hallway for a speedy escape out the back of the mansion.

Scroll in hand, she'd return home and complete her mission.]

[The three shinobi had been following this creature’s trails for some time now, finally catching sight of it in the distance. A partner rushed forward across the precipice, sliding past the animal on the rocky surface, slipping over the edge. Ryu and the other teammate rushed over, Ryu herself being more surefooted, and the other being a little reckless in his attempt to save the team member.

Of course as their luck would have it, this team mate also fell over the edge. Ryu looked over at the animal, which was munching happily on something a short distance away, and then down to view what had happened to her teammates. They seemed to have been knocked out pretty far down, and she knew she’d never be able to get back up herself. Her resort turned to Atlas. She whistled lightly, also stirring the attention of the animal, and Atlas came up slowly. She told him what needed to be done, and he began to climb down the rocky surface of the cliff to save her comrades.

While he ventured, she turned to the animal. It had gotten over the shock of the whistle and then the large beast approaching, and had returned to munching whatever it had been enjoying before. With her master-fast seals, she was creating a jutsu. With each seal, her chakra moved quickly into the ground, stretching outward to the unsuspecting animal roughly 10 meters away. With the final handseal, her jutsu would complete, and four pillars she created would shoot from the earth. She had only made a few, as the animal did not require the entire effort to catch when it was being so idle. Must have been hungry.

This complete, attention was returned to her fallen teammates. She looked over the side of the cliff, hearing the animal crying lightly because it was trapped, but not in pain, more scared than anything. She came in at the moment Atlas had reached the shelf they landed on, dropping down to lift them to his shoulders. He placed them carefully, making sure they were securely under the strap of his weapons, much like a seatbelt, and began climbing back up the wall.

She rooted him on as climbing up was a bit more difficult than down, and a few rocks collapsed under his weight. Praise and good words were sent his way and his morale was kept high, his only aim was that Ryu be happy. With a happy grunt, he made the final pull to pop his head over the top of the cliff. Huge arms rested upon the ground to lift himself further, and he was finally up. Ryu scurried up his arm to tend to their wounds as best she could, telling Atlas to grab the animal.

The whole jutsu was grabbed as well, Atlas pulling the entire thing from the ground, and the animal remained encased in the wooden trap. Ryu placed bandages on their wounds after cleaning them up a bit with her basic first aid items, and laid them out to rest on Atlas’s back. The animal was places between his shoulder blades, a save cranny so it would not fall off. She made sure it was safe and unharmed before sitting down to wait until they returned.

Their first stop was the hospital, where they dropped off her unconscious partners, and paid their hospital dues. It was the least she could do, and then they were off to return the animal. They were thanked greatly for their help, but she didn’t feel right not having the other team members thanked, and told the person this. A letter of gratitude was requested for the other members for their work and success as well. It was a team effort.]

SPOILER: Click to show

Zag listened intently to the chunnin, their four man squad was charged with the mission of assassinating a well known criminal currently in their countries capital, the opportunity to do away with the rogue ninja within their borders was to good to waste, from the information the chunnin was giving his squad Zag and the other two gennins were gleaned some insight in the criminals usual fighting style, they knew for a fact said criminal was a master at water based ninjutsu, so his position in ame no kuni gave his a slight advantage due to ample material to perform his techniques provided by the weather, and while Zag and the other rain nin did have a profinciency with water jutsu none of them were comparable masters, so the squad decided they could'nt win in a water ninjutsu fight and instead relay on suprise, teamwork, taijutsu and their other releases.

As one the four man squad entered the city they were immediatly greated by the rain, thunderous downpour crashed onto everything in sight, the ground was unseeable through a thin mist of tiny water droplets created by the water logged concrete, drains were like gurgling maws greedily sucking down the water with a futile effort to keep the level of rain water rising much higher than the ankles, the squad had split up, they kept in eye contact of at least one other member of the four man cell and were disguised using the henge to appear as just normal civilians, from the intelligence they gathered the criminal was staying at a lower level tavern and was using a false name, his presence to the rain village could very well have gone totally unoticed were it not the fortune of one disguised gennin patrol whom recognised his image as a high level criminal.

Zag slowly walked down the street, disguised in a buisness suit and carrying a black umbrella he did his best to appear like an unoticale face in the crowd, every few seconds his eyes would dart to another lost head in the street, about thirty meters infront of him was the chunnin, she was disguised wearing just jeans and a shirt, about ten meters to his left was another gennin squad member, he disguised wearing a hoodie and cargo pants, while Zag could'nt see the last member of the team he knew he was somewhere behind him disguised in similer clothing, the four of them made their way along the streets, and never directly faced one another or spoke to eachother, they'd been in cover since just before entering the capital, one thing they did'nt know is if the criminal ninja had any clue he was spotted or how well prepared he was for an encounter, but every caution had to be taken no matter what, as the four ninja walked from road to road, there foot steps slapping on the wet ground, they each went over plans and plans prepared ahead, they knew they had to limit the rogue ninjas access to water, but todays immobile storm that was going to be incredably difficult.

Finally the squad had reached the ground floor tavern, almost hidden by the shadows of the mountanous towers that made Yokoburi the squat little pub sat before the four of them, the chunnin moved first, she continued her march right into the pub and Zag and the other gennin followed several seconds after one another, now inside the bar they each looked around for the criminal, they all spotted him sitting by the bar a schooner in hand and an atmosphere of 'piss off' around him, the three gennin took separate seats in the bar, all with an indirect view of their target, the chunnin walked up to the counter and sat right next to the criminal, her hands on the table she ordered a drink and quietly waited for the criminal to react to her presence, it took several seconds for the target to realise the woman was'nt going to leave soon, he turned and in a gravely voice devoid of emotion he said 'Get the f**k away from me.'
The chunnin, acting dumb, put her hands on the side of her chair 'Oh you don't mean that.' she said, in an instant of flashing metal she had a kunai in her grasp and had thrust it into the criminals ribs, aiming to puncture a lung.
The kunai was twisted in its wound but the rogue ninja did'nt react at all, suddenly a jet of water spurted from the wound and the criminal dissolved into a puddle of water 'MISSED!!' shouted a voice outside, its character identicle to the ninja's.
The chunnin sighed and released the henge, Zag and the other gennin did the same 'Ok team.' she said 'Plan A failed, our target was aware of our attack, we have to use plan B.' with the last few words she drew out her sword, and lead the squad outside.

The five shinobi stood in the rain, civilians had long since escaped the immediate area leaving them all the fight in peace, Zag had drawn his umbrella and shielded himself from the downpour, for a tense minute the squad and criminal stood glaring at one another, then the chunnin spoke first 'Seishi Takori, the amekage has ordered you dead, we're here to follow that order.'
Seishi showed no reaction nor said another word, instead be brought his hands together and blurred through a series of handseals, suddenly almost a dozen mater clones congealed from the rain water at the ninjas feet, semi liquid hands grasped the rain ninja's legs, the kicked at the clones, Zag swung his umbrella through the head of the clones around him, dissapating them back into water, for a moment he found himself with no clones around him, he took the temporary advantage and threw up his umbrella, a stream of senbon shot out its canopy at Seishi, the rogue responded with more handseals and suddenly the water around him rose up to deflect the needles, but his hands went on to create even further seals, orbs of water bubbled into the air in a surreal display of jutsu and started flying at the squad, the other genin were still struggling with the clones but the chunnin made a quick string of handseals and a torrent of wind whipped before her and sent the water orbs crashing into the pub beside them.

Seishi sneezed, he had a bored expression on his face but his eyes were burning like coals in the night, and his gaze on the ame ninja was like a tiger watching a lion, he made more handseals and suddenly the rippling water around swirled and was drawn before him, creating a wave that gathered in speed and size untill it was about shoulder height with the rain ninja, the chunnin lashed the clones around one of the gennins feet with her sword and Zag thrashed the others with his umbrella, the gennins cleared with seconds to spare the four of them ran to the left of the wave, doging the most powerful part of the wave they stood through the weaker area, Seishi did'nt relent, he had already done another set of handseals and a whip of water grew from the rain and wrapped itself around the chunnins throat, his a great pull and tore the kunoichi off the ground and flung her to the side, but with the target busy Zag and the genin took their opportunity, Zag pulled out two weapon scrolls and removed a pair of umbrellas from them, them he grabbed another from his back making it four he had in his hands, he threw these all into the air where they opened up and began to spin, the other gennins both made handseals, one making the wood style "roots that snare" techniques and the other making water clones around the target, when the pther two had done their part Zag made a hand seal and began the "senbon rainstorm" technique, the umbrellas above them spun faster and faster and released the better part of two hundred senbon needles and carried them on the wind, Seishi was two busy attack the water clones around him to notice the roots around his legs until it was two late and he was snared, suddenly he heard a rushing wind and the two hundred senbon descended on the criminal shinobi in a devestating cresendo.

Needles plunged through Seishi's skin like it was'nt there and exited the other side, all the needles did this untill the ground around the target was like a patch of silver grass, the three gennins had an expression of confusion until suddenly the body of Seishi dissolved once again into water, 'It was a clone.' said a steely cold voice somewhere to the right, they saw Seishi standing over the chunnin holding her sword to the kunoichi's throat 'You can't win.' he said in a matter of fact tone.
'Wanker!!' shouted Zag to the rogue ninja, he reached back one drew out his last umbrella, with a small motion he threw the umbrella into the air and its canopy released another volly of senbon, Seishi ducked down to avoid the senbon, only to find that the rain ninja had also thrown a pair of senbon with his hand and aimed it lower to Seishi's knew eye level, with a sword in hand he could'nt make handseals so he instead darted to the side away from the chunnin, the other gennin were ready, one had just finished making the handseals for "four piller prism techique" and the other had thrown a pair of kunai's with explosive tags attached to them, the wooden pillers burst from the ground around where Seishi was standing and the kunai's stuck into the wood beams directly infront of the rogue ninja, Seishi dropped the sword and flashed through a few handseals before the tags went off.

With a thunderous noise the explosives went off and destroyed the prison, smoke and splinters clouded the area for several seconds, the gennins had seen their target perform the handseals but could'nt see if their attack had worked or not, for seconds nothing could be seen through the dust cloud and nothing could be heard except for the everpresent pounding of rain, the chunnin took the repose to get back on her feet and rejoin the squad, standing infront of them, she did'nt have a weapon anymore but she knew she still had to fight, gradually the dust and smoke began to clear, the rain put out the remaining embers and washed away black char from the wood and concrete, suddenly they spotted and object, a sphere of water within which sat Seishi, the waters surface rippled from the rain but within the burning gaze of the rogue ninja seemed to shine out as though there was nothing in between, the water sphere and Seishi got to his feet, his hands though were the whole time flashing through handseals, suddenly all the water in the ground around him and even the rain nearby was drawn into a large serpent, the serpent, with jaws the size of a ninja, launched at the squad with its mouth open and fangs shimmering like swords, the chunnin blurred through handseals and a burst of wind shot from her hands and into the face of the serpent, the wind only glanced off the snakes face and the water construct continued its greedy path towards the rain ninja, it crashed into the squad and swept the four of them off their feet and smashed them into the side of the buildings around them.

Zag groaned with pain, it was looking grim, he only had one umbrella in hand and it was only half full of senbon, the target could create a shield of water strong enough to avoid explosions, ninjutsu wise they could'nt stand much longer of this, something that every member of the squad seemed to understand, the chunnin, facing the opponent and watching for any threatening movement, started makeing handseals, the rain around Seishi seemed to react and seemed to avoid the ninja 'I've used a wind cage.' she said between breaths 'He can't move but neither can i, get in taijutsu position.' she ordered to the gennins, the three of them nodded and ran into postion around the ninja, Zag stopping to pick up another umbrella off the ground so he can enter the double parasol fighter stance, one genin taking out a handful of shuriken and the other drawing out a pair of long knives, all the while Seishi kept his eyes on the chunnin, then suddenly the rain around the ninja started falling normally and the wind cage was down, one gennin let fly with their shuriken, Zag and the other gennin charged the ninja's sides, Seishi did'nt move and was struck in the chest by the shuriken, stabbed by the knives and bludgeoned by the umrbellas all at the same time, his body instantly dissolved into the water and the three gennin realised it was another clone.

The three gennin turned to their chunnin to suddenly see Seishi erupt out of the water next to her with a kunai made of water in hand and ready to bring down on the kunoichi, the chunnin managed to grab the ninja's hand and hold off the weapon but his other had grabbed her by the throat, she reached into her ninja pouch to take out a kunai and started stabbing him in the ribs, water spilled out and the clone was once agian reduces to nothing, the chunnin coughed was she regained her strength, she turned to her gennin 'The real ones here somewhere, find him NOW!' she ordered as another clone grew out of the water to attack her, one of the gennin went over to pick up the chunnins sword and threw it to her to help defend herself, the three of them then started looking in the windows of the buildings for any faces, they could'nt spot any.
Suddenly a thought came to Zag 'This way.' he said to the other two as he lead them back into the pub, there they found the rogue ninja sitting on one of the counters stools look out the window at his clones fighting the chunnin.
The criminal's burning eyes turned to face the three gennin 'Well now you three are definetly going to die.' he said very plainly, as though he could say it as normally as "hello", he started making handseals but the three gennin immediatly threw a volly of senbon or shuriken at the ninja, the weapons struck the ninja and he dissolved into water, but only for a second, for he soon started turning himself back into human form, it was clear he had done this technique right at the very start, Zag immediatly reached into his flak jacket and took out his flask of kaen no gikami, he sprayed the gel onto the half formed water and it immediatly burst into fire, the form of Seishi emerged from the water covered head to toe in fire, yelling and flailing he ran out the pub and into the rain and water, this just made the chemical gel burn greater and greater, soon the thrashing, yelling and burning body of Seishi Takori stopped thrashing, yelling and burning and slumped over in a heap, the chunnin came over and scooped up the body and declared the mission over.

Response: Overall, I thought this to be a clever use of everyday tactics. Dressing up as a plain old civilian was pretty good, however slightly cliche which is the main reason for losing a point on Originality.

------------------------------------------

Zag crouched in the tree canopy, his eyes watching the five guards patrolling the mansions outside, inside was a scroll stolen from amegakure some time ago, they discovered the scrolls current location and sent Zag to recover it, from the intelligence gathered on this location they had five guards patrolling the ouside and another five inside, also recently it seems enemy shinobi have been hired to guard the scroll, although it was unclear on how many apart from one that was spotted a day or so ago there actually was, Zag had arrived the better part of a day ago and had been watching the patrol for hours, forming a plan to infiltrate the mansion as he did.

It was about dusk when Zag decided to act, slowly he slunk down to the mansions outer limits, staying as much in the bush as possible, after watching for hours the patrolling guards he noticed that theres just a moment when one of the guards is out of sight from the others but just for a few seconds, he did a few handseals and pressed his hand to the ground transforming it into a muddy field, he then coninued making handseals and created a mud clone to prepare for phase two, Zag then used henge to disguised himself as a guard, he then performed more handseals and used the underground fish projection technique, his body sunk down into the soil beneath him and when underground he continued travelling into the mansion grounds, soon he was well within the boundry and in position to take one of the guards, already one hand was on his roll of ninja tape, after a few moments in the dark underground he felt someone stand on the dirt above him, he burst his hand out from the ground and in one great pull he forced the guard down into the dirt and Zag was launched up to the surface, not stopping for a second he knelt down quickly and taped over the guards mouth and eyes, when he stood back up he gave the guard one last kick in the head to keep him extra quiet untill some one finds him then Zag continued the patrolling pattern from there, effectively replacing the now incapacitated guard.

From here on it was a matter of time untill the guard was found neck high in dirt, so he had to get inside the mansion as quickly as possible, as he continued the patrol route he got ready to execute the next part of his plan, the mud clone, still hidden in the bushes, then stood up and made a mad dash for the mansion, Zag immediatly turned around and pointed at the clone 'INTRUDER!!' he shouted, all the other guards turned to see the direction Zag was pointing and spotted the clone running onto the mansion grounds, immediatly the guards sprung into action and began an attack on the clone, whom was now running away from the mansion, leading the guards following it away from the building allowing Zag to enter the front doors without anyone noticing.

The plan to get in was alright, soon the clone would just dissapate and leave nothing behind, the four guards would return to the mansion, wonder why there's only four, find the other one with his head poking out of the ground and hopefully assume Zags clone did it, so that was part one and two done, now for number three: getting to the room that held the scroll without being exposed as an imposter, he hoped his guard disguise would also fool the hired ninja so he could escape a violent confrontation, in the small space of the mansions corridors his amount of usable techniques was severly limited, cautiously he made his way further into the mansion, in his mind he remembered the building schematics as best he could, turning down hallway after hallway always heading right for the center room.

Zag made rather smooth progress, although the guards were on alert due to there already being an attack they seemed oblivious to the fact that there were six guards in the mansion, when the rain ninja occasionally passed one of them he simply kept a blank expression and pretended to be doing a patrol just like the other ones, this worked pretty well, except he had yet run into any other ninjas, which ment they were coincidentally in other parts of the building, or more likely they were in the same room as the scroll and Zag would need a really good reason to take the scroll away from them, after about ten minutes of walking through the maze of corridors he was close to the scroll room, then suddenly the walls around Zag came apart and the shining flash of steel glinted in his eyes, taking a step back he saw a silver eyed ninja with a sword glaring at him 'You can stop that disguise, i see right through it.' he said.
The guard image flickered and dissolved to reveal Zag 'Oh wonderful, i suppose your one of the bastards here to stop me getting my village's scroll back hmm?' he said as he reached up to draw one of his umbrellas out of its holster.
The silver eyed ninja grinned 'Right first time mary poppins.' he said before suddenly slashing out with his blade, Zag held up his umbrella and stopped it before it hit him, with his other hand he threw a pair of senbon at the ninja, the sakurai saw this and ducked down to avoid the needles, also taking his sword away from Zag's parasol, the rain ninja continued throwing senbon, the shinobi needles flew out and one managed to strike the hired ninja in the left arm.

The sakurai gritted his teeth and pulled it out, then went back on the offensive entering a fight stance and sweeping out with his sword, Zag practically ran backwards, putting plenty of distance between him and the swordsmen, he then took in a deep breath and used the wind arrow technique, sending a mass of air and chakra flying towards the swordsmen, the sakurai pressed his back to the wall and the wind arrow passed right by him 'Ah bloody hell.' muttered Zag, it seemed like this ninja could see chakra in his ninjutsu, but the rain gennin knew a ninjutsu he could use that would be almost impossible to dodge in this small space, the hired ninja conintued to charge towards Zag, his sword up and ready to plunge into his enemy, Zag opened his umbrella (ignoring that it was bad luck to do so indoors) and swung it around in a wide arc, chakra mixed with the wind and a long scythe of air formed and sped towards the swordsmen, the sakurai's eyes widened and he quickly tried to stop his charge but was just too late, the chakra rich air struck him right in the chest, knocking him back a few steps and leaving him reeling for just a second, the chance given Zag went in the charge, holding his umbrella above his shoulder and entering a low sprint, in the blink of an eye the distance between the two shinobi was closed and Zag beat the swordsmen around the face with his wooden umbrella, the sakurai's head snapped to the side and he staggered back, while he was still addled by the last attack Zag knee'd him in the stomach and with both hands grabbed his head and slammed it into the wall.

Zag left the fight scene, he had bound the hired ninjas hands and legs as well as covered their mouth and eyes before leaving him in one of the mansions any bath rooms, this time though as he walked around the mansion he was no longer disguised as a guard, he'd taken the appearance of the swordsmen, he even carried around the chaps sword just to make it look more authentic, this way he could walk right into the center room without any guards interferance, he quickly marched through the halls to the mansions center, he turned what he knew to be the last corner and was faced with the door to the room with the scroll, he turned the handle and opened the portal, inside he saw another ninja sitting by a table with a long staff in hand, Zag eyes darted to the table and saw the village scrolls he was after then back to the ninja, whom looked at Zag with a very bored stare 'Why are you back again? you said you were going patroling because of that alarm before, even though the guards said the guy ran off.' he said.
'Well i suppose i got tired of the patrolling thing and decided i'd come and see how you and the scroll were doing.' said Zag, doing his best to sound friendly.
The hired ninja's eyes narrowed 'Your not Ajikan.' he said as he got to his feet and held his staff as though ready to use it.
'Well so much for this disguise.' said Zag, the image of Ajikan faded and revealed the rain ninja 'Anyway, all i want is my villages scroll back, not asking that much eh?' he said, reaching for an umbrella.

For a second the two said nothing and only glared at one another, both sizing up the other, the guy with the staff seemed to believe he had an advantage and acted first, he swung out his pole at Zag, the rain ninja blocked with his umbrella and took out his double bladed kunai, keeping his umbrella between him and the staff he ran towards the hired ninja, the dark iron weapon in hand and ready to use, the hired ninja saw this and lashed out with the other end of the staff, hitting Zag right in the shoulder and knocking him down sideways and forcing him to drop his kunai, he crashed onto the ground and scrambled backwards, the hired ninja was right on him, bringing down his staff in wide overhead arcs, everytime Zag could only narrowly dodge the attacks, then suddenly the staff slammed down onto Zag's leg, the rain ninja cursed in pain and forced himself back to his feet, putting the strength in his good leg he lept forward at the hired ninja, an unexpected move to make, with his now free hand he focused his chakra and created a funnel of wind in his palm, he thrust out mid air with his hand and connected with the hired ninjas chest, the justu knocked his enemy back and gave him space to land on the ground, he landed crouching and was close enough to recover his double kunai, he then opened his umbrella with a flick of his wrist and hid from his opponents view behind the canopy, the hired ninja bashed the umbrella aside to reveal Zag once again lunging out with the kunai, the move surprised the hired ninja and and in his haste to block the kunai he did'nt notice the senbon in the rain ninjas hand, the needles were thrown into the hired ninjas hands, pinning the staff to him palm, before he could cry out in pain Zag had covered the mercenaries mouth with his hand and was getting ready to knock this one out too.

Once again in the guise of a guard Zag left the center room, the scroll was tucked in his shinobi pouch and the hired ninja was knocked out and taped to the table, now pretending to be a guard doing his patrols he made his steady way out of the mansion, he traversed the same corridors as before, all except the one he fought the swordsmen in, and in moments he was walking out the front doors and ended the henge, it did'nt really matter staying in disguise anymore, and started sprinting away from the mansion and into the countryside, ignoring what effort the outside guards were doing to catch up with him.

Response: Nothing wrong here really, simply another use however of the same disguising. While clever, it was lacking originality due to it being the most obvious method.

------------------------------------------

The small team of shinobi trudged through the water logged countryside, today was a temporary repose from the usual torrential downpour, the sun had even managed to lance its way through the clouds and arc streams of light down onto the earth, making the teams mission just a little easier, the three ninja had been assigned to a search and rescue of some posh pet cat, the mission itself was rather demeaning to do but the reward was supposed to be brilliant, but still every minute spent in the abominable sun was marked by a muttered curse from Zag, the three of them kept their eyes peeled for a big fluffy white thing in the scenery, shouldn’t be hard to spot, suddenly one of the gennin, Kita, gasped and pointed to a bush about ten meters away from the squad ‘I see it.’ he whispered to the team ‘Stay here, I’ll get it.’ and with that he burst into a dive onto the cat, unfortunetly the cat saw this and dashed off, Kita immediately got to his feet ‘Wait, don’t worry I’ll get it.’ he called to his team and he chased after the pet, which for a house cat was surprisingly fast.

Zag and the other gennin stood watching their team mate race around trying to catch the cat both with an amused smirk of their faces, then suddenly, as the cat and the ninja chasing it both ran up a hill, the cat suddenly changed direction and the too slow Kita kept going and suddenly just dropped out of sight with a yelp of horror, the pair of gennin stood for a second, not quite understanding what just happened, but a moment later they both charged up to where they last saw their fellow shinobi, when they reached the crest of the hill they both looked down with shock, the hill was split in half by a massive cliff ‘Can you see Kita?’ asked Shiore, the other gennin in the team.
‘No I can’t see him any… oh wait no he's right there.' exclaimed Zag, he pointed to a jutting rock on the cliffs face about thirty of forty meters down, on was the sprawling form of Kita, both the gennin stared down at the body, their teammate was'nt moving at all.
'Stay up here.' said Shiore as she started unpacking rope, she tied one end to a kunai and then stomped the kunai into the ground hard enough to bury it 'I'll climb down and get him, you just catch that damn cat so we can head back to the village right away.' he explained as she started lowering herself down, Zag nodded and turned to find the cat.

He saw it sitting a distance behind the scene, ignorant of the carnage it had caused upon the team of ninja, patiantly cleaning itself, slowly Zag stalked up to it, he was in no mood to start racing after the animal, however he only got about three steps towards the pet when suddenly he heard Shiore yell out behind him, he turned just in time to see the kunai fly out its hole and fling itself over the cliff, Zag ran to the edge to see if she was alright, peering over the edge he saw her lying on the rock slowly writhing before losing conciousness 'Oh bleeding s**t.' muttered Zag, now he had to go and get them both out of the hole, he quickly glanced back at the cat, it was getting up and started heading off, not that it mattered, he needed to see if his team was ok first, he stood up and made a series of handseals for the underground fish projection technique, his body slowly seeped down into the ground beneath him, stopping when he had reached his waist, what he was about to do he wanted to be totally able to see where he was going.

Gingerly his body moved through the groun towards the sheer ledge, and then in almost one movement as he reached the top of the cliffs face his torso revolved down ninty degress and he began his descent down to where his team mates lay, the wind roared around him, numbing his arms and stining his eyes, and the terrible view made the rain ninjas viens burst with adrenaline, to say the sight brought vertigo is a statement of the obvious but the action of actually going down the fissure in the earth with half your body sticking out of the ground at a ninty degree angle half numb and horrified of accidentaly hitting a hole or something that would just drop him out of the cliff and let his fall most likely to his death was totally s**t house.

After what felt like a hour of torture to Zag but to the world was ten minutes had passed he had finally reached his fallen fellow ninja, he reached out and shook Shiore's shoulder 'Shiore... Shiore you awake.' the kunoichi did'nt respond, her skin was cold but that was probobly from the wind, he checked her pulse, it was slower than normal but she was definetly alive, Zag sighed in relief, next he turned to Kita, he looked in worse shape, Zag shook him by the shoulders 'Kita... mate you with me here?' he asked but was given no response, he let go and realised there was blood on his hands 'Oh hell.' Zag lifted Kitas head and saw blood seeping out beneath his hair, with that he pulled up the shinobi onto his shoulders, he was'nt strong enough to take them both up at the same time so he settled on taking the one in most trouble, the ninja felt incredably heavy on Zag, he had to use his back muscles to keep himself from slowly bending forwards as he used his arms and shoulders to carry Kita, he started to ascend up backwards, putting as much effort as possible in not going off track, he knew the path he took down was good and if he stayed on it he would'nt hit any holes, but still the journey up was a struggle, the cold wind did'nt relent and the view was still horrific, the thoughts of falling were always lurking in Zags head, and it was made all the worse by the heavy weight pressing down ontop of him, Zag felt his numb fingers twitch with the adrenaline and sweat begin to drip down his face, wetting his hair and getting in his eyes, but in defience he continued up, and meter by bloody meter he ascended up to put his team mate back into safety.

This time it really took about twenty gruelling minutes to get back to the level ground at the top, with a long sigh of relief Zag rolled Kitas body off his back and onto the grass, for a moment he had his back to to him and pulled his legs out of the ground to recover from the ordeal, his breathing was heavy and his frame shook from both the adrenaline and the cold wind that seemed to pass through his clothes and skin to ice his bones beyond numbness, long heaving breaths rattled through his throat as he turned to inspect Kita, he'd rolled onto one of his arms and his head had lolled sideway, Zag pulled his arm out from under him and fixed his head up, bloodied hair sticking to his hands as he did, he wiped this on the grass dismissively 'Watch were your going next time mate.' he said to Kita, his voice filled with frustration, he turned and peered over the cliffs edge, now he had to go back down and get Shiore.

The seals remade and his waist half deep in dirt he started to travel down along the sheer cliff face once again, the experiance was just as bad as the first time he had done it, his ears could'nt hear anything but a the wail of air that spun past them, his eyes were forced to squint, if he kept them too open they would dry up in seconds and force him to stop and recover, his nose and throat felt like they were freezing from breathing in the torturous air, not that he could breath through his nose anymore, both his team mates better be damn gratefull that he was doing this, soon he had reached Shiore, she looked worse than before, her face looked paler than before as though empty of blood, he figured he had to get her out of here soon or she'd suffer hypothermia, grabbing her by the arm he hoisted her onto his back, a muttered grunt came from Zag as he lifted her weight, and then began traveling back up to the top of the cliff, he felt weaker than before, but he maintained resolve, this kind of mission was'nt worth the death of two ninja.

He was about halfway back up to the top, he felt a slight glimmer of hope in that he'd be able to get both his team mates back to the village saftly, but, asthough his hope were felt fate and deemed punishable, suddenly he heard a noise above him, Zag turned and looked at the cliffs ledge, he saw the rocks at the very edge crack and crumble and start to drop down right to where Zag and Shiore was, eyed wide with horror he stopped his ascent and moved to the right as fast as possible, but the rocks fell too fast, he was lucky to miss practically all of them, but just one, an outlier on the very edge of the break, fell right onto Zag's back, it missed Shiore by milimeters but smashed into Zags ribs 'GAAAAAHHH!.' he shouted in pain and shock, he lost cencentration in what he was doing and leaned forward, suddenly he felt the kunoichi he was carrying slide forward 'No no no no...' muttered Zag in horror, before his eyes he saw her pass over his head, his hands grasped out to grab her, but they were numb and fumbled to find purchase, her clothes slipped through his fingers and in what seemed to him like a horrifying show slowly unfolding right infront of him she fell before him, but then he felt a massive tug on his arm, so sudden and unexpected that his entire body shot forward, he looked down and saw that his left hand grabbing for dear life onto her right arm, relief had to wait as he slow slipped in his sweaty grasp, his other hand also grabbed her and slowly he pulled her back up onto his back, pain still racking his torso from the rock and broken ribs was luckily numbed so he could for the most part ignore it as he resumed his way back up to safety.

At last he was back above the cliff, he lay Shiores down next to Kita as he stopped and gathered his breath, the pain in his back was started to throb more and more and felt like it was spreading through his entire body, no way he would be able to carry to both of them back to the village, with the remainder of his strength he knelt down and made a few handseals, placing his palm on the ground the entire area transformed into mud, after making a few more handseals the mad started to congeal into eight clones, they all knew their duty, two went over and picked up the unconcious ninja and raced off in the direction of the village, the other six combed the area for the cat, searching any bush they found and every tree they passed, after about five minutes of searching they found the cat sleeping in a shady spot, a clone scooped it up and carried it to Zag, the rain shinobi glared at the animal 'You damn cat...' he said '.... if you ever run away again, i'll break you legs.' and with that said he pick up the cat and started heading back to the village.

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Kaishin, Genju] - [19/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

The Chuunin leader of Genju and the other two Gennin had found their way to the dreary Rain City Capital a few days earlier. Dressed in street clothes, the days had been spent looking for the target. Two days later they hit pay dirt when they found out the criminal had a routine which brought him to the park, rain or shine just after noon. It gave the team time to prepare and stake out the scene. A light rain turned into a heavy downpour as the team waited and waited, invisible to all but each other, until finally the man showed himself. He sat alone in a bench, unaware of the team. Careful that even though they were invisible, rain could still reveal them due to footsteps and the rain hitting their bodies, they still provided enough camouflage for the moment.

The Chuunin put down the range finder and binoculars, spoke into the com and the operation was underway. Genju would be leading as the man specialized in water ninjutsu and he was the best one suited for this task. The team split up, Genju coming from a fair distance behind the bench where the man could not see him unless he had eyes in the back of his head, which he didn't as he he did not melee fight. Approaching within ten meters, footsteps silently masked by the rain and the target having no line of sight on him. Genju formed the seals for Kagemane no Jutsu and stretched out his shadow sliding it silently from behind. Without warning it would attempt to grasp the man's shadow and trap him in place.

Genju would double tap his com and the Chuunin would Shunshin several times, decapitate the man with one clean blow and retrieve the head, flickering away. The man would not be able to do anything as he was not a Taimaster and thus unable to break free. Not the brightest criminal for staying out in the open, Genju would break the Kagemane and retreat, visible but with no one to see him. The civilians and others that would normally frequent the park inside or fleeing the rain. As the man's blood spilled into the rain, Genju would meet the others at the rendezvous point. The other two gennin had been genjutsu masters, and had anything appeared to go wrong were waiting with jutsus to enchant the man from either side within his own mind. He would not have been able to escape. Unseen by the populace, the team headed home with proof of assassination, leaving the body for the birds and nary a trace of who was responsible.

Response: Docked points for Originality. There was no struggle, effort or character thought really. He was a B ranked Shinobi, it's highly doubtful a B class criminal would be caught this unaware.

------------------------------------------

Alone and on an infiltration mission, Genju would need to be careful, which was why he had stocked up on all sorts of ninja weaponry. Night had fallen before Genju decided to make his move. He had seen four guards patrolling the perimeter in two groups of two going opposite directions. The final guard stood watch over the front door and once every hour for about ten minutes, a man wielding a massive staff would step outside to talk to him. Safely concealed by brush and using binoculars bought before going on the infiltration mission, Genju had surveyed all angles of the house and found his best bet – an open window with a turned on light on the second floor. If he remembered correctly from the layout of the house, it was a bathroom window.

Genju waited until a few minutes shy of eleven before striking. The guards had just turned around the corner giving him two minutes max to get up to the window before the other set of guards would find him. Under the storm clouded sky, Genju used Shunshin twice to get within range of the wall, focused chakra on his feet and dashed up. Outside the window, Genju found a complication. He heard running water and the sound of singing. A quick glance inside showed a vague figure in a shower. Wasting no time, Genju formed the seals for Ice Creation well within the 8 meter range of the shower. The water around the man's body would freeze instantly most likely turning him into an ice sculpture as Genju slithered his way through the window, a slight creaking sound heard.

Genju peered down and saw the guards walking by without looking up. No one ever watched above their head level. Inside, he shut off the shower, and recast ice creation lest the hot water thaw the man. Finding a sword Genju would take it, admiring its quality. The sword did not belong to the guards. Listening at the door, no sound could be heard so Genju opened up the door and headed down the hallway.

A three story building, the scroll would most likely be in the center of the second floor. It seemed the safest place to lock up treasures. Pulling out a flash bomb, Genju waited at the corner listening for footsteps. Slowly steps could be heard approaching. With nowhere to hide, Genju tossed a flash bomb around the corner, a bright light filling the hall as he heard a muttered grunt. Charging around Genju gave the man a swift punch to the gut to drop him affording him no chance to react. No one else around, Genju opened a nearby door and pushed the man inside before continuing along his way. Through hallway after hallway, Genju maneuvered, hearing two more guards in the next room. Genju put a little chakra to his feet and scaled the walls and up to the ceiling. He entered the room upside down, his soft footsteps possibly alerting the guards. Before they could act, Genju would shield his eyes and toss another flash bomb, drop down and form seals for Kagemane. The blinded guards should not be able to see the moving shadow and hence be trapped in it. Genju would move forward causing the two guards to do likewise and, then Genju brought his head violently forward causing the two guards to butt heads. Low moans escaped the unconscious and severely hurt guards.

Genju continued on, leaving them and their set of cards alone. He had probably made to much noise but that didn't matter now. It should not have left this area. Soon he came to a door. He knew he was near the center so this was possibly it. Turning the door he entered to an unguarded room with a massive safe. The two guards he had knocked out must have been this room's guards. Rather than waste time with picking it, Genju settled for simply freezing the lock. The strong cold temperature in contrast to the room, Genju should be able to break the lock open. Over and over, Genju would do this until the safe opened and he took the scroll.

He would retreat the way he came, encountering no one else. Peering out the window, he would time it for the guards to be gone once again. With a swift motion he charged down the mansion wall, shunshined into the brush and was gone. Any other guards must have been on the first or third floor of the house.

Response: This mission, while done in what I find to be an original swat like style, was lacking any real use of the information on the Shinobi guard aspect. It was not made clear if he ever encountered the shinobi who guarded the scroll, or if they were present.

------------------------------------------

Genju would let the animal go upon seeing both his teammates fall overboard. They tracked it once, they could track it again. Even if the animal belonged to an important person, two lives were much more valuable than one pet. Getting as close to the cliff face as Genju could without repeating the other ninjas mistake, Genju called down but received no reply. Not sure he should attempt it himself lest he fall victim to the same trap, Genju returned to the village to get help. With assistance, Genju would return offering to go down himself and help bring them back up. Together with the more experienced guards and medical personal, the two gennin could be rescued. Genju would request another gennin to assist him on the mission while the two ninja were cared too as the accident showed, it would be dangerous to do this mission himself. Once approval was given, Genju would continue on his mission re-tracking the animal through its footprints and general direction it traveled. A companion to help would ensure if there was another accident, they would survive.

Response: Docked all points for originality. It is up to the Genin to make the decision out on a mission to save his comrades. I would have liked to have seen a creative use of your own ability, not the villages.

[Moriko, Kiyoshi] - [24/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[“Alright, this building will work.” I’d speak to the Chuunin on my team after having inspected the building he’d chosen. It was large, with only two entryways since there were no windows, and it was also fairly empty with only a few boxes littering the floor. ”Good, what next Kiyoshi?” The Chuunin was aptly nicknamed by me as Blade, since he was a sword master, though he really didn’t like being nicknamed. “Blade, Yo, Shi,” Yo was Yomuru, the first Genin on my team, and Shi was Shiburi, the second Genin on my team. All three of the member’s of our team where attendant to my words as I spoke. “This is the plan…” The screen would fade out and then fade back in as it time lapsed to the end of my plan. “And that’s when we drag his ass to the ANBU, any questions?” Blade would look at me with a rather upset look. “Yeah, why the hell do you call me Blade? My name i-“ I’d interrupt Blade, I knew everyone knew what they were doing and that was good enough for me. “Alright! *Arf!* Let’s go!” I’d run off, leaving my three teammates to ready the ambush!

The moon would shine down as only ten minutes later the plan started. “Oh your such a strong man, so sexy too, maybe you’d enjoy staying at my house for the night. <3” A beautiful woman in her young twenties would flirt with the Criminal, the man would be enticed not only by not only the looks of the woman but also the very smell; he’d walk after her not knowing that it was only a Genjutsu illusion created by me, his eyes would gleam lustfully towards her. “I don’t think you’ve seen anything from me yet.” As the illusion woman, created by my Genjutsu, would lead the suspect through the front door into the building, I would sneak into the back door where Yo would be hiding behind. “Everything’s set Kiyo.” I’d smile and silently go into the building; it seemed that giving my team nicknames had influenced them to give me a nickname. I’d then form several hand signs, focusing my chakra and turning myself invisible; after which I would make my way towards the spot I needed to be in and took out my staff in preparation. *Clink* The front door would shake as the man would walk through the doorway and into the nearly pitch dark room, my Genjutsu clone wouldn’t make a noise but this would go unnoticed to the criminal who was enticed by the Genjutsu. As the Genjutsu woman would make her way toward the middle of the room the man would follow her in, nearly drooling in lust.

Just as the criminal would get close to the illusion, it would disappear quickly; Blade would jump forward at the same time with his sword swinging towards the criminal. Yo and Shi would jump from both sides, barring the criminal from exiting the building through either of the entrances. “What the hell?!?” With nowhere else to go, the criminal would jump backwards to avoid Blade’s slashing sword. *Thud!* I’d suddenly appear as I swung my staff using the ‘Grand Slam’ Bojutsu technique, the staff swing would be reinforced with chakra as I held it like a baseball bat waiting for the man to get close enough; once the man entered the area I swung with more strength than most normal ‘S’ rank techniques. *Crack!* The man’s head would fly forward with his body dragging behind it, he’d hit the ground in an unconscious lump. I’d jump forward toward my teammates; it looked like the ambush had gone over smoothly. “Yes! Looks like all we have left to do is to take him in!” *Arf!* ]

------------------------------------------

[I had the plan already thought up in my head, along the way towards the target mansion I’d stopped through the shop in the Fire Capitol and bought all the needed supplies. Since I’d seen the designs of the mansion and had them fully explained to me since I couldn’t read them very well myself, I had the perfect plan that would no doubt fool everyone within the mansion. “Kaito,” The thieving ferret would jump out of my large side pocket, looking at me while I spoke further. “I want you to take these and place them on the trees in a circle around the mansion.” Though the directions where complicated, I’d accompany them with much pointing and motions, placing an explosive tag on a nearby tree and then moving to another nearby. *Yam!* It seemed that he knew the basics of what I was saying, I’d hand several explosive tags to Kaito and he would speed off quickly. I would move quickly in the opposite direction around the mansion, planting an explosive tag every short while until I met Kaito in the middle of the circle around the mansion. “Alright Kaito, back in for now, I’ll give you plenty of treats later.” *Yam!* Kaito would acknowledge my payment of snacks and would drop the rest of the explosive tag he was holding as he jumped back into my pocket. I would also drop the remainder of the explosive tags I had left, the ones I hadn’t planted around the mansion. I would then form several handsigns, performing the ‘Big Bang’ Genjutsu using a massive amount of chakra, creating several fake explosive tags around the mansion.

“Alright! Let’s go! *Arf!*” With a few handsigns I’d sink into the ground using ‘Underground Fish Projection’ and would then create another handsign, causing all of the real and fake explosive tags to explode. *Kooom!* the earth would shake as the mansion was suddenly assaulted by explosions; the area became swarmed with guards. I’d simply ‘swim’ through the earth and right below the room in the middle of the mansion where the scroll was being kept; I’d focus upward and breach the surface within seconds. I’d walk over to the scroll and take Kaito out of my pocket, handing it to the large ferret to hold in its mouth. “It seems that my plan worked.” I’d begin performing handsigns when a ninja appeared in front of the only doorway. “Looks like it didn’t work well enough, I can see through your tricks barking ninja.” The ninja’s eyes would swirl as he looked at me, I’d finish my handsigns and turn invisible using my Genjutsu technique. I would walk silently toward the left with Kaito in my hands but would be stopped by a thrown kunai. “I can see chakra residue, I could see you underground and can see you now while you’re invisible. No matter what you do I will find and kill you.” Damn, I had the scroll but no way to exit without a fight…

“Fine then, I’ll hit you straight on! *Arf!*” I would charge the ninja while pulling out my staff, dropping Kaito, who was still invisible, who would quickly pass past the enemy ninja with the scroll in his mouth. *Shink* A long blade blocked my staff; I held the man in defense as Kaito ran out of the room. “Damn you, get back here you damn rat!” The man would twirl and knock my staff to one side while heading out the door after the invisible animal. The man would run after Kaito, the invisible ferret, who would not be seen by guards running around the mansion in the chaos of the explosions, and would nimbly dodge around their legs. The chakra seeing ninja wouldn’t be so lucky, being run into by nearly every person coming through the narrow hallways. “Stop that rat!” The sword using, chakra seeing ninja would be too slow to catch the ferret and the guards couldn’t see it run through their legs. The ninja would turn around, unable to catch the ferret he would focus on me, but unfortunately for him I’d already be underground, ‘swimming’ towards the outer rim of the trees surrounding the mansion. “Damn that ninja! Damn that rat! Damn all you idiots! Can you do nothing right?!?”]

Response: Nice entry and Exit, however there were two Shinobi guarding the scroll. And nice use of Projection, just would have liked more explaination on how you breached.

------------------------------------------

[*Unk!* Yo and Shi tripped over one another as they ran after the noisy animal ahead, tripping off the side of a cliff! “Yo! Shi!” I ran up behind the two of them yet I was unable to stop the inevitable. *Thud!* I peered down the cliff and could see them both on a ledge unconscious. I could hear the animal ahead, rustling through the bushes. I stopped for a moment; I couldn’t leave Yo and Shi here but I also had a job to do… I had to catch the animal right here! I formed several hand signs and focused my chakra along the ground to the animal ahead of us, my Phantasmal Killer Genjutsu would cause a gigantic horrific beast to appear in front of the animal, rearing its body through the ground as it breached into the open air. *Raahhhhk!* The animal would scream and come running back towards me, terrified for its life of the Phantasmal Beast. I would then watch as a massive bear would come running out of the trees straight towards me. “The missing animal is a full grown bear?!?” I thought for a moment that maybe it was just a wild beast, but the collar hanging around its neck told me otherwise.

When I’d first took the mission I’d thought that the missing animal was a cat or dog or something… not a bear! I guess now I know why such a basic looking mission was a B ranked one! “Alright bear, you’re going home! *Arf!*” I took a weapon scroll from my belt and performed several handsigns, several tranquilizer darts would fly forward towards the bear. The bear would be hit but would keep running, I’d fire another salvo of darts, having fired ten so far, at least half a dozen of the shots had hit the bear but he kept running at me! I dropped the scroll and anchored my legs the best I could, trying to hold back the bear as it rammed into me. I’d be shoved backwards and knocked over; the bear would tower above me and roar loudly as it would fall over towards me! “AAAAaaaaahhhh!” I’d close my eyes as dust would fly everywhere and I would also notice that I luckily hadn’t been squished by the falling bear. Once the dust was clear I’d see the beast asleep only a foot from where I was laying. “Whew, that was too close.” I’d stand up, Kaito would be seen away from me having moved away when I fell over in order to avoid being squished himself if I would have been squished by the bear. “Way to dig deep buddy.” *Yam!* I’d sigh at Kaito, who would simply bark at me. I’d walk over to the short cliff and jump down, lifting my teammates off of the ledge and back onto the land one at a time. “Well… now I just have to wait until Yo and Shi wake up…”

While Yo and Shi where unconscious, I’d stick the bear with a few of my darts to keep it asleep. Once Yo and Shi woke up we’d carry the bear using a handy wind-style technique that Yo knew, the trip back would be long… though not quite as long as the trip Yo and Shi took…]

[Kawashima, Hiromasa] - [23/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

[The combination of earth and water provides ample breeding grounds for the children of Gaia. As the rain pours and we trek further into the capital, my twining hands call upon a gift granted by mother earth herself - thirty two warriors to lend eyes, ears, fists and feet to the cause. Even amongst the torrential downpour, my canine like nose is still refined enough to track a scent.

Once the criminal is found, we approach from the shadows. My bunshin encircle him first, maintaining a perimeter whilst remaining out of sight. They form a circle with a radius of twenty meters, with the criminal as the equidistance point. For now, my human comrades act only as back up - a reserve force, should my methods prove incapable.

My opponent is one of the many favored of Poseidon… but I lay claim to both mastery of sea and earth. And besides… what does chakra mean to one who cannot use it? Tartarus’ Pit lay siege to the area, the jutsu’s mystical workings depositing us in a gloomy pit some dozens of meters deep. My hidden bunshin are also targets of the jutsu, with my remaining comrades remaining above ground. They are safe from being drained merely because they do not mold chakra, instead following more physical pursuits. Chakra unusable, and against the force of thirty two bunshin as equally skilled in melee combat as I, the criminal is put to justice. My many fists trump his two any day, and his complete rape is insured further by the mental link shared between myself and my bunshin, as I am simply able to observe from a far and concoct the perfect scenario to end the fight as swiftly as possible.]

------------------------------------------

[I find myself in quite the precarious position. I know the gist of the situation, but there are a number of unknown variables to consider. First and foremost, the accuracy of intel. Secondly, if the accuracy of that intel entitled me to complete destruction of the area or a true mission of espionage…

As if it would be unclear who’d claimed the scroll.

It takes very little time for me to rule out espionage. The guards are no issue, but there is a change that there are ninja(s) within the complex. I’d rather draw the fight outside as opposed to a scuffle inside. With the earth herself on my side, my worries are nil. Sure, my methods wouldn’t amount to much ‘infiltration’, but what purpose is secrecy when all assembled parties are dead?

Chaos becomes my helper, and nothing insights panic like an explosion. Marble pouches rain from the sky, spread about the premises by a slew [32] of deido bunshin. The explosions rock the building’s foundations, spitting out rounds of marbles to skewer the opposition. To that I add an A ranked summon; Kanisoku, to present a specter to riddle my opponents with fear. My bunshin swarm the mansion, murdering all present, each of them instructed to reach the scroll.

Kanisoku’s mighty pincer knocks away the top portion of the house revealing the purpose of my mission, and with that, so too does he reveal the ninja assigned to lend support to protection. My assault is swift, and even with one of them possessing the hunters bloodline , I give them no time to assemble even a basic defensive strategy. The most they can do is square up and meet death head on. With their attention split between my Bunshin, senbons thrown towards them by me, and the giant crab shooting bolts of lightning from his pincers, the opposing ninja are hard pressed to survive, let alone guard the scroll.

Victory is assured, and, once the scroll is approbated, nothing will remain of this land but scorching earth.]

[Idiots. I should’ve just assumed command from the get go. My teammates find themselves stuck in the bottom of a ravine, unconscious and hurt. My quarry is near enough to see, but even now it makes movements to escape. No matter - I have speed enough.

Of course, I don’t use my physicality to collect the beast - oh no, it is simple intelligence I apply to the task, manipulating the ground beneath my feet to dissolve into a river of mud, halting any evasive manuevers attempted by my quarry. With A rank rock creation, my mud slide encompasses a majestic range. The mud slide may prove hazardous without further action - just as soon as the earth descends into a viscous mess, my fingers twine once more, calling into effect my signature jutsu - deido bunshin no jutsu. The clones leap up from the mud river surrounding the beast, snatching it into a secure embrace to deposit in my own hands.

So too do the bunshin climb down the rock face to collect my teammates. I carry them all back to the village for the appropriate treatment, despite my desire to leave them to die. Really… how stupid can one person get? ]

[Warlock, Cassandra] - [14/30 points | Fail]

SPOILER: Click to show

[The night was dark, the moon full and the sky aligned with dim stars. As she walked through the village of rain behind the chuunin and other two genin Cassandra grinned in somewhat of eagerness. She was looking forward to fighting this person and killing them to accomplish the mission. Having stripped her headband off temporarily along with the others of her teach to not raise suspicion as to why four leaf ninja were aimlessly wandering around the Rain Village they continued onward.
Shortly after reaching the countrie's capital and spotting the ninja from their hiding places it began to rain. Rain at night, that was unusual to say the least. From what she had learned of the ninja he was a master in water jutsu so he had the upper hand. On her team Cassandra had learned that one of the two genin was a lightning master which wasn't going to be much help, the other a fire user and the Chuunin was a Kaishin. He would be more help the n the other two would for this task. Cassandra herself would be some use as she knew water, earth, lightning and some wood as well as Aburame and Nara techniques. Their target wouldn't know this though as he mots likely wouldn't expect to be hunted after by genin.

While waiting for the man to make his move Cassandra came up with a strategy. It was to use the lightning boy to the best of his advantage in thiat situation as a beginner ninja. Then the fire guy and herself would come in and the chuunin would be sort of a trump card if teh rest failed. After explaining this to her team and getting other ideas from them everyone agreed on Cassandra's plan of action. She was a pretty good strategist.

Once all the coming up with a plan stuff was finished up Cassandra and the rest of the team looked at the boy who was the lightning specialist. His name was Kuro and he was going to attack first. After finding a new place to locate himself so as to not give away the rest of the team Kuro formed handsigns and a ball of lightning formed in his hand. The ball was then thrown towards the ninja. Having been absorbed in his thoughts of just how awesome he was at avoiding confrontation he had been unaware of the ball. The ball was week and when it hit didn't go much damage at all. The man turned towards Kuro and grinned menacingly. Since it was raining Kuro would have to rely on his weapons more then his ninjutsu and that would be a little bit of an issue with him. The man charged at him and formed several handsigns which caused six water clones of appear and charge the boy as well. This was a problem. Quickly the boy took out his Sword and went at the man's farthest water clone in an attempt to destroy it. Several epic minutes fighting with the water clone was destroyed but the boy was exhausted. He was too used to using ninjutsu and that was a problem.

After the destruction of the water clone another came after him. Kuro then began to fight that one as well. The battle was looking grim for Kuro now when his brother Koji, the one with fire speciality received an oh so subtle signal from Cassandra to enter the battle. Wit that that signal he quietly got out from his spot and formed the signs for grand fireball technique. The ball of fire went quickly toward tow of the remaining five water clones and destroyed them. Though because of the rain the fire wasn't AS affective as it would normally have been. Now with only three remaining clones and the real man left two of the clones charged in and formed two water dragon jutsu. Now Koji was in for it.
Seeing what was going on Cassandra intervened and formed a wall of insects. This was an Aburame technique. Once finished that she formed several handsigns and created her own water clones which would go and attack the two water clones that had formed the water dragons. There were four water clones of Cassandra in the battle along with herself. This was getting a little interesting now. Koji went and destroyed the water clone his brother was fighting so that only the man was left. Seeing this Cassandra formed a small set of handsigns and made an exploding water ball. Which she did this the target formed even more handsigns to make more water clones. He then formed some handsigsn and created a large title wave which would head for the three apposing genin. Quickly before the title wave hit them Cassandra threw the exploading water ball towards the man. Sadly for her it was destroyed by the title wave which soon swept the three of them from their standing places and made them pretty much useless.

Cassandra, Koji and Kuro were all swept into a wall which was then destroyed by the title wave and the two boys were knocked out. Cassandra was left just barely conscious enough to function properly. The man walked over to her and grinned as he brought a large sword over her head to finish her off. Dark blue eyes looked up slightly at the man's face as a hand moved over to his leg and placed an exploding tag upon it. At least if she was going down then she would take part of him with her.
The sword flew down towards Cassandra but instead hit a large sphere of ice that in-cased both Cassandra and the Kaishin who had Shunshined over to protect her. This was Roku Kaishin, the chuunin on the team and the one with the ice skills. He was the one who was the trump card. He could beat the man. Looking at the man as he dropped the ice guard technique Roku kicked him back much to his surprise. The target did a back flip to avoid falling and formed teh handsigns for water release magic water missile technique. Several missiles went quickly towards the Kaishin who grabbed Cassandra and the two boys and shunshined away. Since he had moved the missiles hit the rubble from the wall making it even small pieces. The Kaishin took out a soldier pill and put it in Cassandra's mouth. This soon rejuvenated her chakra and strength and she was ready to fight. The two boys were at the time still knocked out so that didn't make much of a difference for them.

Cassandra formed several handsigns for the hidden mist jutsu which coded the area in a thick fog that would be very hard to see through. Once that had been done Cassandra then took out several kunai and threw them toward the target. Not seeing the kunai as they came very well all three of them hit and he went stumbling back. Now he was mad. Once haering a slight laughter from Cassandra the man charged towards her to attack her once again. The black haired shinobi remembered her exploading tag "Boom." She said detinating the tag. This took off the man's leg and caused him to come crashing down to the ground. "Should I kill him now or do you want to?" She asked her chuunin partner who fround. "You can if you wish." She was told. At this Cassandra removed her fencing sword and walked over towards the man. "This is waht you get for hurting my team and killing otherp people. I hate murderers like you." She said silently to him. "If you kill me you'll be no better." she was told. Hearing this being said by teh man she grinned evily. "I'm not like you at all. you deserve this more then I do." She said as hse braught the sword down upon his throat and slit it. Finding the right spot to slit a throat depended on the rate the death occured. The spot she had hit made it instant.

After killing the man Cassandra removed his headband as a token of her kill as well as to give it to the hokage when the team returned. By this time Koji and Kuro had awoken and were now recieving soldjier pills from the chuunin as well as some medical attention. After all four ninja had recieved medical attention for their wounds they headed back out of the Rain village. Before leaving Cassandra noticed the damage and decided it would only be fair to pay for the damage done by the fight which had just taken place.]

Response: This mission was to take place in the Capital City, not the rain village therefore points were docked in Usage of Information due to that.

------------------------------------------

[You have been given a simple infiltration mission, though you are on your own. A large mansion is located near the capital of Fire country. They stole a valuable scroll from your village. All you know is that they have at least one ninja there guarding it. There are actually 2. 10 guards patrol the mansion, 5 outside and 5 inside. You know the layout of the mansion and know that the scroll is in a room in the center of the mansion, meaning that access through the window or the roof directly into the room is not going to happen. The 2 ninja have basic Taijutsu. 1 has 250 points of Bojutsu, while the other is has 250 points of Kenjutsu. The Kenjutsu using ninja is also a Sakurai, so any chakra usage will be detected. How would you proceed?
The sky was dark with clouds moving slowly throughout it, an odd thing for night time. The moon was just a tiny fragment of itself sitting amongst the clouds in the nights sky. The time was about midnight maybe a little past it and Cassandra had a mission to do. She was supposed to sneak into a mansion to retrieve an important scroll, easier said then done judging by the five guards she could see from her perch up in a tall tree. The scroll she was to retrieve was a complete mystery to her for she was not given the details as to what the scroll held just that it was important that she get it back.

At this time she had on nothing but black to blend in with the nights sky, that was her logic to blend into her surroundings as much as possible. As she moved carefully through the trees she noticed a guard look up. Apparently she hadn't been careful enough not be heard even slightly. The guard ran over to the tree and started yelling. "Intruder alert, in the...." Before he could finish his sentence or get his voice loud enough to draw serious attention he was cut off by a rope latching around his neck. He was then gently pulled up into the tree where he would then fall unconscious due to lack of being able to breathe. The breathing part was an accident but Cassandra nodded slowly and looked at him. He had almost given herself away but she had been quick enough to stop him.

After knocking the first guard out she went for the second one. He was an idiot, he saw her and greeted her happily "Hello pretty lady, what brings you here?" he asked dumbly. Smiling Cassandra responded "I have come to deliver the pizza that someone ordered." She lied pulling out a pizza she had brought with her for a snack.. She was going to have to give away her food but whatever. "Oooh can I have a piece?" he asked her still really stupid and oblivious to her actual intentions. "Of course but you have to take me to the centre room because that's where the person who ordered the pizza said to bring it." She lied once more.

The man walked ahead of Cassandra and from behind him she grinned happily. He was a moron, a complete moron. As they moved another of the guards approached the two of them. "Hey, what the hell do you think your doing?" he demanded of his fellow guard. "Well, she's bringing us pizza so I have to take her to the centre room to give the pizza to Frank." he explained still not getting that she had lied to him. "YOU IDIOT SHE LIED!!" the other man named Jim exclaimed as he got out his club to club the women with. he swung the club towards her and she dropped the pizza and used the first guard as a shield. The man had clubbed Frank so hard that he was now unconscious and would be for quite a while. "You know I kind of liked him." Cassandra commented as she took out her fencing sword and engaged Jim in a fight. At the commotion that the two were making the remaining seven guards came running from their posts to see what was going on. That was a smart move on their parts to outnumber their target.

Seeing the number of people grow till she quickly outnumbered Cassandra jumped back and made a few handsigsn. To her delight six clones appeared, they were made of water and would help her fight. After about a twenty minute fight with the guards and a few of her clones being taken out all the guards were now unconscious. Cassandra picked up her pizza and sat in a a very dark corner and ate some of it to replenish her strength and also for food reasons.
Once she had finished eating the pizza or most of it she stood up and continued towards the centre room.Slowly she opened the door a crack and looked inside. There were two men there, both shin obi. This was annoying because there was only supposed to be one of them. Taking out a light bomb Cassandra chucked it into the room, a large flash of light illuminated from it and temporarily blinded the two men. Taking her chance to attack she rushed in at the first man(The Kenjutsu one/Sakurai.) and punched him right in the face. This caused the man to stumble as the site returned to both him and his companions. By this time Cassandra had already drawn her fencing sword and was ready to fight. "Let me handle this Tim." the Kenjutsu/Sakurai guy told the other man. His name was Bill and he would Cassandra's opponent for the time being.

"You know, this is annoying. There was only supposed to be one of you and now you've doubled." She said angrily. Swords clashed and several clanging noises could be heard. She was going to loose if she didn't do something soon. Looking at the opponent she quickly formed a few handsigns and created some wooden armor. This wouldn't stand for long so she would have to act fast. Taking her sword once more the fight continued the way it had, matching each other blow for blow, strike for strike. It was rather annoying. After three hours of the two of them fighting Cassandra pulled off a move she didn't even think she would have been able to manage. She stabbed the man right in the heart and he fell down dead. The other man named Tim stood up and looked at her. "You...you killed him you b***h." he sword as the two began to fight each other.

This man was a long ranged user. He was going to be easy enough to avoid. All she had to do was stay away from him and cast ninjutsu. Jumping back from the spot she had been standing at to avoid the man Cassandra put her hands together. A small ball of lightning soon appeared in her hand and she through it towards the man. He jumped to the side to avoid the the jutsu and shot a few arrows towards her. Jumping upward out of range of the arrows she landed but was hit in the left leg with an arrow and a serge of pain ran through her body. Quickly the women put her hands together and formed quick handsigns for the exploding water ball technique. As she sent the ball towards the man he made the unknowing guess that it was just a week ball of water that would do nothing to him but make him wet. The ball then detonated and blew up about half a meter away from the man causing some pretty good damage.

The man then took up his bow once again and shot several arrows towards her. Cassandra pulled out several kunai and through them towards the arrows. Hitting the arrows both the arrows and kunai landed on the ground. Forming more handsigns and a medium length bold of lightning formed in her hand. (Zeus' bolt) Leaning her hand backwards Cassandra chucked the bolt directly at the bowmen who was at that point loading another arrow into his bow to shoot at her and thus was distracted. The bolt struck and sent several volts of electricity through the man's body, enough to incapacitate him for several hours. In all the day had gone well, one dead guy and several knocked out guys. Seeing the scroll laying on a table Cassandra walked towards it and picked it up. She wanted to see what was in it that was so important but decided against it. Placing the scroll into her bag without opening it up Cassandra left the mansion and walked back to the leaf village.
After getting to the leaf village Cassandra headed toward the Hokage tower and returned the scroll then went towards the hospital to get her wounds checked out. ]

Response: Points were docked from Usage of information once more for one critical thing, unless I misread the other Shinobi is stated to be a Bowman when what their weapons are were given in the scenario. As for Originiality, it was mainly just a direct assualt, however one point remains for the attempt at a disguise.

------------------------------------------

[Having recieved her next task from the kage Cassandra looked at it for a moment and fround. It was a common pet rescue mission, the worst kind there could possably be in her opinion at least. Looking at the paper she read it quietly to herself as she walked. She was working with Koji and Kuro who were also none to pleased with the mission but not as mad as Cassandra was though she didn't show it. As the three ninja walked down to find the animal Kuro spotted it and ran after it to catch it. Sadly there was a cliff and he slipped and fell. To Cassandra is was actually looking kind of comical and she smiled then her face went back to normal.

Both of the remaining team members went over to the cliff and looked down. Kuro had fallen rather far down it and was now stuck on a rock. "Hey get up here idiot." Cassandra shouted at him in a slightly humorous tone. "I...I can't, I busted my ancle." he shouted back as he looked up. Koji and Cassandra looked at eachother and Cassandra continued to search for the cat. Koji then began to try to get his brother.
Cassandra heard a small sound from near where seh stood and looked towards it. She then saw a shadow move quickly past the plaace she swas standing. It was the animal and she knew it. Taking a bit of rope Cassandra made a net to catch the cat. She then took out some tuna she had gotten from the owner of the cat. Placing hte tuna can opened on th net she awaited the cat's arrival and got rid of every other animal who tried ti spring her trap. Her hands clenched hte rope as she waited for the cat to come and when it did Cassandra tugged the rope. This caused it as well as the cat to go flying up into the net's form and hang from a tree. Though this might not have been the most affective way to deal with the animal and it was not the easiest way but still, it ment all she had to do was sit and wait for the cat to come.

After catching the cat and getting it down she went over towards Koji who had now gotten Kuro up from where he had landed earlier that day. Koji got his brother on his back and the three went back towards the house where the women and owner of the cat to return the animal to her. After doing so Cassandra and hr team went to the hospital to get a medic to look at Kuro's ancle and fix it to the best of his abilities. This was easy enough so Koji allowed Cassandra to report back with the kage as long as she returned back to the hospital. She did this within a half an hour period of time and the three went back to their houses to get back to daily life. ]

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Kazumane, Kagetora] - [29/30 points | Pass ]

SPOILER: Click to show

[The streets were empty. Soaked too! And that wasn’t the only thing soaked. Kagetora watched from the rooftops locating his squad mates. His hands were holding his arms, quivering in fear. He did not like the idea of killing, and yet, he was put to make the final crushing blow.

The Chuunin’s voice came over the come. “I got him locked.” The Chuunin was known to be a Bug Master. Apparently it seemed the B rank Criminal had not notice the tracking bug that rested somewhere on his body. “It’s now up to you guys.” The Chuunin had left the Genin to now follow the directions they were given. According to the Chuunin, it would work. If it didn’t they were to immediately fall back and wait for reinforcements.

The Genin awaited in the village for this B-rank Criminal. According to the description, he was 6 feet tall and carried a two-handed sword. According to the description, there he was. He walked like he was all that and a bag of chips. Kagetora glanced at the hiding Genin. They were his buddies. They talked the whole way there! It would be a shame to lose them, and he would make sure that he wouldn’t lose them.

Kagetora was at the point of sweating. The B-Rank criminal was approaching their “X” point. They had dug into the ground, an Exploding Pouch. It was to be activated when he stepped over it. He was there.

The First Genin activated it and watched the area go into smoke in a second. Kagetora, upon the roof top, watched the B rank jump up out of the smoke. The Flamboyant Predator launched his blades at arms that equipped itself with the sword. He watched them, and maneuvered his arms through them, but as the blades were caught by the first Genin who was below and across Kagetora, Kagetora whipped the chains around the B-Class, altering his balance. Because of this, the Second Genin jumped out of hiding and kicked him hard and upward, using a Taijutsu style Kagetora was not familiar with. It was the Red legs.

It was the Flamboyant Predator’s turn to make the finishing blow. At incredible speed, Kagetora dived down to strike his Will of Kratos Punch. It was right there. The B-Class ninja looked into Kagetora’s eyes as he pushed his punch with full force, filled with chakra, into his face. Sending a shockwave through the air, the three would watch the impact into the ground. His sword appeared through the smoke, laying against the ground. But something was not right. Beside it was a log. Kagetora’s eyes widened in shock and fear. He looked behind him viewing the B-Class Ninja whom had just grabbed his collar and now swung Kagetora in a circle. “Don’t touch me!” Kagetora yelled as he charged the chakra into his right palm and tapped it against the opponent’s grabbing hand creating a white light. Kagetora had broken the hand which now became limp. Regaining his vision almost instantly, the boy noticed the Kunai coming from the other hand. The Flamboyancy raised his left arm, letting it pierce his skin, but now the B-Class ninja was caught. His right hand molded more of the chakra and created a scalpel which he made a few slashing movements to the heart area. Everything went blank.

The last thing Kagetora remembered was the blank stare the criminal gave him. Then the ground.

"You did it!" He heard one of the Genin say but all Kagetora wanted was to sleep. Unfortunately he remembered the kunai in his arm.

"Pull the Kunai out." Kagetora groaned as he sat up feeling a major head ache. he felt a sharper pain his his arm as Kagetora's right hand would glow with the left over chakra that waited, just waited to be molded.

"Now I can sleep." He said, seeing the Chuunin walk up the street with a smile on his face.

hey atleast Kagetora could get carried home!]

Response: Well done! The only issue I had with this one was that once more they used Rain Village, in which it was actually the Rain City Capital.

------------------------------------------

[Kagetora would be walking on the path to the small castle like building. He had to infiltrate the base and steal a valuable scroll that his own country had stolen from their village. They were traitors, and Kagetora would make sure they would know the consequences. They had to be idiots and it pissed Kagetora off beyond belief!

He looked at the two guards who looked back at him. "Hey it's a Leaf Ninja!" One of the guards said as he waved. It seemed like they were playing dumb. "Traitor!" Kagetora said angrily launching the blades at his side into the gaurds. He'd pull them out with the attatched chain and swing at their necks, decapitating them.

Kagetora was in tears now. He never killed out of hatred and now, now on this day he had murdered them. But he would not let his friends suffer because of their actions.

Hopping over the gate he would land very gracefully. On the tip of his toes. Making no sound. Gazing around, there was no one insight. He noticed the next part of the building though, where the scroll was. It was guarded by...what? Another shinobi? Kagetora only knew of a Bo user here. But this one had a sword at his side. Kagetora wanted a fair ninja duel. This was personal.


"Hey you!" He called out revealing himself to the unknown shinobi and the two guards that guarded him. "Traitor. Yeah that's right! This is for stealing a scroll from the Leaf Village!" Kageotra charged head on against the three. As he ran, he began to focus his chakra into his hands. The Guards crossed their swords in front of the the boy as he widened his eyes, almost surprised at the charging Kazumane. Leaping, Kagetora would front flip angelically over the gaurds, above the Kenjutsu user, using his Kunai to block a sword stab. Landing behind the three and turning, he would drop the kunai and launch his blades atttatched by a chain, tied to his belt, stabbing into the guards backs. He swiftly pulled his blades back and threw them once more, both aiming at the boy vertically in line with each other. The Ken user easily dodged it, twirling in between the blade and chains. Unlatching his chains, Kagetora would move out of away from another sword stab, but get tripped by the enemy's foot. Landing on his back, Kagetora would slide his head to the side, dodging a sword stab which dug into the ground beside him. He would grab his hands upon the hilt, and thrust a kick in the boy's stomach. The boy stumbled back as Kagetora stood up. Doing some handseals, his hands would glow, showing an invisible scalpel to the Sakurai. The Sakurai would gulp as he pulled out two kunai. The boys were standing 10 feet away. They both charged starting with Kagetora ducking a swipe but getting his right hand slashed after trying to strike the boy in the stomach. A knee came up to meet Kagetora's chin but Kagetora swiped it with his scalpel cutting of the muscles, disabling him from bending that knee. A kunai came to impale Kagetora's head but Kagetora would use his right hand, the one that got slashed to cut the wrist.The pain would force the Sakurai to drop the kunai. With his other hand, Kagetora would catch it and bend backward, swinging his opposite leg to impact his foot against the equipped hand of the enemy, striking his arm to knock it away. Finding the opening, Kagetora would bounce forward, in almost seconds, the kunai had met the shoulder of the enemy. The one that held the kunai but now dropped it. The enemy was defenceless. Kagetora kneed him in the stomach and twisted him around, grabbing his hair, he held his own kunai to the throat of the Sakurai. "Come on, I can use your help Traitor."

Kagetora went inside asking the ninja silent questions. "How many people are here?"

"10 guards. 2 on the outside, 8 on the inside of this mansion. There's also one ninja here. A Bojutsu User."

The Sakurai seemed scared to lose his life and would give anything to Kagetora to spare his life. "8 guards are guarding the scroll. The Bojutsu user is hiding around the ceiling area.

Kicking open the door to enter the center of the Mansion Kagetora pressed the Kunai gently to the beaten up Sakurai. The Guards looked shock. "Drop your weapons." Kagetora ordered them as they did so. Their Sakurai had been beaten in battle. "Kill him."

A lady dropped from the ceiling area with a cold smile. "Kill him, kill them, but I'm not handing you the scroll" The Sakurai pleaded for his life, losing his voice in fear. He was almost in tears as Kagetora drew small blood from the boy. He then would toss the boy behind him as he swiftly ran to the next ninja. Charging the chakra within one fingertip, he would thrust it into the ground, shattering the wooden ground in front of him to a million pieces. The shattering would continue to the Bojutsu user, but she would easily jump in the air. Kagetora followed her, empowering more chakra into his fingers. Soaring like a pheonix through the air, he would notice the staff coming to strike him. Grabbing it, he would pull her close. Her fist planted itself across Kagetora's face, but his fingers met her chest. "Shinzou no Suiryoku" Kagetora yelled, forcing the chakra to give her a mild heart attack. She would freeze up for a second, before Kagetora grabbed his rope and tied her tightly. Landing on the ground, beside the broken wood, he would smle. " I suggest you guys run." Kagetora giggled and addressed the guards. "you've seen my strength, and my medical powers. I wouldn't waste your life on doing me in." With thus, he squeezed the pressure point beside the neck of the lady, knocking her out.

"I believe this is mine." He winked at the guards whom seem petrified at the whole event.Slipping the valuable scroll in his pocket, he would pick up the wounded Sakurai. "Ohh..." Kagetora frowned at the state he was in. Setting him down, he would kneel beside the boy and tie him up with his remaining rope. Using his healing hands, he would cure the boy a bit.

Picking the two up, he would give a good bye to the guards and take them back to the Leaf Village.

They owed an apology.]

Response: Once more this one was enjoyable. Nothing was taken because he used the info very well, even using a Hostage to obtain the rest was well thought out.

------------------------------------------

["Snap!" Kagetora yelped as his two team mates went over the cliff and they lost their consciousness. "Come on wake up!" He watched worriedly as the four legged creature pranced off into the forest. Kagetora couldn't ust leave his team mates. But...they taught him after school that the mission was the main priority.

err...uhhh....ehhh..

Kagetora launched his blades, making them stab into the ground beside his team mates. He unlatched the chains from his belt and tied them to a nearby tree, which the creature decided to run by, into a forest.

Jumping down to the below level they were on Kagetora would bring them up one by one using the Medic Strength he had obtained. He would wake them up carefully talking to them and slapping their faces a bit. They would eventualll wake up.

"Let's go." Kagetora would urge them to continue as one of them had tracking skills. They would all travel into the forest, spreading out and taking to the trees. The light footed ninja spun gracefully through the branches searchng for their target. The tracker pointed quietly down where the wolf was taking a drink of water from the small pond. On of the genin would jump and run on the water heading towards the wolf. The wolf looked questionably at the charging Genin and pranced off behing him to where the tracked of the genins was coming with a net.

Kagetora would rest in the tree to see what move the wolf would make. The wolf would run to its side, meaning it was running toward Kagetora's direction. Shooting Chakra like a streaming river into his finger, he would throw himself towards the ground, bossting off the branch. Coming about 10 feet away from the wolf, his finger would crackle the ground making the earth split. The wolf would slip and fall into the fissure created by Kagetora, and hit the ground. The net was thrown over it as Kagetora smiled proudly.

"Good work guys. Let's take him home!"]

Response: Not much to say here. Well done.

[Fiore Agudo] [0/30 | Fail (DQed for not meeting mission requirements)]

[Itsu Iko] - [19/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

After a few days of traveling, Itsu and his team mates which includes two follow genins and a chuunin finally reach the Rain City Capital. As its name would imply it happens to be raining and no one on the team happens to have an umbrella. Itsu buttons his trench coat closed to fight off the cold rain, as they enter the city the team comes up with a plan. The chuunin starts first “Well I think we should ask around the city to see if anyone has seen who we are looking for, since he would need logging and food.” All three genin nod in agreement and begin their search, while normally it would be good to spit up to cover more ground that is not the case here. The reason is because the criminal they are searching for is a B-rank criminal and it would unwise for a signal member of the group to fight the criminal alone.

The group goes around the city asking every bar, hotel and food market if they have seen the man they are looking for, showing the people a photo of the criminal. At first there is no luck but after a couple of hours they finally find someone who recognizes the criminal. The person is a man who owns a food market store and explains that the criminal comes in a couple days a week and had been there today. The man further explains that the criminal has been living in a cabin in the woods near the city. He knows this since he had to help the criminal carry his food to the cabin unbeknownst that the man he was helping was a criminal. It makes sense since that the criminal in staying out of the city, since as he criminal he can’t just stay in a city and walk around willy-nilly without being arrested.

The market owner gives the group the directions the criminal’s cabin which they thank him for and follow the directions. The group reaches the woods and see a dirt path leading into the woods because of the rain the dirt path had turned into mud. Instead of walking through the mud, Itsu and the group climb up the trees and jump through the trees. This is easier said then done since the rain has made the branches on the trees very slick. The group or at least Itsu has a hard time staying in the trees and has to channel his chakra into his feet to prevent him from falling. Since they are trying to stay in the trees, as well as remain quiet the group is unable to looking for the criminal and find it easier to find the cabin. After a couple of minutes of jumping and a few near falls they finally make it to the cabin.

The cabin is in a clearing surrounded by woods and is a simple log cabin made of earth and wood. The cabin looks like it had been their for years, as they look at the cabin they see that there isn’t lights on in the cabin. Also there is no smoke coming from the chimney and in this cold rain anyone would have a fire going. The group wonders if the criminal is merely not home or that this is the wrong cabin, they pick the former of the two choices. As they wait they try to come up with a plan for killing this criminal, which is going to be tough. As they try to come up with a plan but before they can agree on one, the criminal appears in the clearing. Itsu is the first one to try something jumps down onto the ground landing on a bush which makes the criminal jump and look around.

When nothing happens the criminal shrugs and continues to the log cabin, Itsu silently sighs in relief, he then executes the hand seals dog, rat, boar, and lastly ox. After completing the hand seals, Itsu begins to channel his earth chakra into the muddy ground beneath him through soles of his feet. He uses the chakra to create, sixteen mud clones that raises from the mud around him. When the sixteen mud clones are fully formed, they rush into the clearing surrounding the criminal. All of the mud clones grin at the criminal thinking they have him surprised. He is surprised but not afirad and simply drops his bag’s of food and quickly executes a set of hand seals. When he finishes the hand seals fifteen water clones appear from out of no where and attack the mud clones.

Luckily the mud clones have the advantage since they are mud they can receive more damage then the water clone’s. The mud and water clone’s fight, the mud clones are winning since it takes more hits to break it down while it only takes one good hit to break down a water clone. Soon there is no water clones remaining while their are 8 mud clones still standing and surrounding the criminal. The criminal merely laughs, “Is that all you got why don’t you coward’s come out and fight like a man.” Itsu knows that the criminal is just trying to bait the them to make them come out and fight them on his terms. Itsu doesn’t take the bait but one of the genin’s on the team does and jumps out his hiding spots and into the clearing. Itsu groans and thinks “Dumbass” and jumps out of his hiding spot to help protect him. After Itsu the other genin and chuunin come out of their hiding spots and into the clearing.

The criminal looks at the team, which consist of three boys and a girl, with Itsu beginning the tallest and overall largest in the group. The criminal laughs “so this is the ragtag team after me, let me even things up.” The crinal begins to execute executes hand seals once again which the mud clones try to prevent by rushing toward him. But when they reach them it is too late and fifteen water clones appear and attack the mud clones. Since the mud clones are already tired and outnumbered they are easily defeated. That leaves the group of four to take on the fifteen water clones and the criminal himself. Itsu shakes his head thinking, “If only the ground wasn’t mud from this rain this would be easy.” Twelve of the water clones quickly rush toward the group while three remains with the criminal.

Each member of the group gets three water clones to deal with. The Chuunin quickly draws a Katana, one of the genin’s throws 9 shuriken at her three the water clones. While the one genin who jumped into the clearing first merely stands their with a confident smile on his face. That confidence is quickly turns into horror when one of the water clones slides down and kicks the genin onto the ground. Another water clone quickly executes a set of hand seals as it runs and when it reaches the genin, water forms around him. The water creates a sphere that the water clone keeps contact with. The genin is unable to move and begins to drown because of all the water that is in the sphere. Itsu sees this and becomes distracted causing the same thing to happen to him and he too is trapped in the sphere.

The girl genin who threw the shuriken manages to hit two of her targets leaving only one water clone for her to deal with. However that is soon changed when two water clones, sneak up from behind the girl and grab her. The water clone that grabbed her are the two remaining water clones from the three that attacked Itsu and since he is trapped they are going after another target. The girl is unable to move or perform hand seals and this allows the remaining water clone to execute a set of hand seals and trap the girl as all. The chunnin does better and manages to cut down all three of the water clones that try to attack it. He is however out numbered when he is attacked by the four remaining water clones, and attack him low which causes him to fall. Soon the water clone trap him as well leaving the whole team trapped and drowning but Itsu has a plan.

He begins to channel his chakra into the palm of his right hand, this creates a vacuum effect and he quickly grabs the water clones arm that is in the water sphere. This cause the chakra in the water clone’s body to be absorbed into Itsu’s body and turns the water clone into a puddle of water. This causes the water sphere around him to disappear but the other water clones sees this and rush toward Itsu. He isn’t going to fall for this again and quickly uses his body flicker technique, he disappears in a puff of smoke. He then reappears next to the water clone that has trapped the male genin, before the water clone’s know what’s going on. Itsu quickly punches the water clone turning into the a puddle as well as freeing the other male genin who breathes in deep trying to catch his breath. As this happens, the crimal who wanted to see them drown begins to run away

. Itsu sees this out of the corner of his eyes and decides to stop him, before he does he looks at the genin “Take care of them.” Itsu is referring to the teammates which the gennin understands and rushes toward them with a fighting stance. The genin quickly rushes to the girl genin, punching and dodge’s numerous water clones to do so. He finally frees the girl genin and the two free the Chuunin and take care off the remaining water clones until there is none left. While this is happening, Itsu executes a set of hand seals and when he completes them he uses his wind chakra to place an invisible wall in front of the criminal which he runs into nearly knocking him out. Itsu and the group take advantage of this and rush toward the criminal who quickly gets up.

He sends the other three water clones toward the group, but they get cut by the Chunnin’s katana. When the group reaches the criminal he is very angry, and begins to execute seals as fast as he can. The group tries to stop him but he does it so quick, they are unable to stop him and the attack happens. After he completes the hand seals five wolfs appear made of water, they quickly spot the group and attack. As they do the criminal grins but Itsu has something planned and as the wolf rush toward the group, Itsu executes a set of hand seals. The other three guard Itsu but when they strike the wolves whether it be with weapons or techniques. Before the pack of water wolves reaches, Itsu completes the hand seals and channel his chakra into the criminal’s brain. The criminal breaks the tiger hand seal and the pack turns into water, the man then begins to freak out yelling “Get away from me.” Itsu grins at the site wondering what the man’s worse fear must be. As the man freaks out the chunnin takes this opportunity to rush toward the man and slice his head off with his katana.

Now that the criminal is dead, the group grabs the head and leaves the woods and go back to the city. As they step out of the forest the rain stops and the sun emerges from the clouds.

Originality – 2/4 points – It was a well thought out mission, and certainly refreshing to see someone thinking of different situations with the information given. It wasn't a terrible read, either!

Usage of Given information – 2/3 points – Itsu used every bit of information given, from the weather, the location, the release style of the criminal, to what kind of team mates he was allowed. In the end, however, he didn't really use too much of it to help him.

------------------------------------------

Itsu reaches the mansion, but remains in the bushes at all times, and looks at the front entrance. Unsurprisingly there is two guards at the front door, which prevents going through the front door. He decides to try the back way, and slowly moves through the bushes and whatever hides him from view. There are numerous time where, Itsu hears something and falls to the ground onto his stomach to hide himself. Most of the time, it is his imagination, or a animal but sometimes it is a guard that patrolling the ground. For a couple of seconds, Itsu remains on his stomach crawling toward the back of the mansion until the guard is out of site. When he finally makes it to the back of the mansion he sees that there are also two guards watching the back door.

This puts a damp on going in directly, which Itsu thinks is somewhat better since that’s what they would expect. He slowly walks around the ground looking for a entrance to the mansion, occasionally having to hide from patrolling the guard. This begins to annoy Itsu, and wonders if he should kill the guard, but decides against it, since the other guards would notice. After slowing looking for a few minutes, Itsu sees a small window and waits for the guard to go by. After waiting for almost a minutes the guard finally goes by but Itsu, waits till he is out of sight to make his move. When then ground is out of view, Itsu runs from the bushes to the window but when he tries to open it he realizes it is locked. He panics for a few seconds, but then sees a window above him that is open and quickly jump to it.

He nearly misses the window, but manages to grab the edge with his right hand. He pulls himself up and through the window and it is a tight squeeze. After getting to the room through the window realizes why the window is open because the room he enters is a bathroom. The bathroom was recently used as well and the smell in the air is stagnant and causes Itsu to gag a little. He then thinks “Damn it, what do these guys eat it smells like a dead animal in here.” Itsu quietly walks to the bathroom door and cracks it and sees a guard walking away from the bathroom tucking in his shirt. Itsu deduces that he was the one who used the bathroom, he quietly closes the door and locks it. He needs to get his bearings for the mansion and looks at the window a little, and waits for the guard to go by below him.

He doesn’t have to wait long and looks down to see the guard pass the lower window. The last time he saw the guard was walking north to south. From that info he realizes that this is the bathroom that is on the east side of that house. Itsu thinks for a couple of moments on the lay out of the house and realizes that the room where the scroll is, is a couple rooms away. Now that Itsu has his bearing’s, he walks over to the bathroom door and unlocks it, looks around for any guards and doesn’t see any. He walks out of the bathroom, and starts to walk down the hall slowly and quietly remembering the layout of the mansion. He comes to a part of a hallway that leads in four directions, forward, left, right, and back. He stops and thinks for a second, and remembers the way and goes right.

After walking silently, he hears someone coming in front of him he sees a door to his right and quickly opens it and rushes in and silently closes the door behind him. He remains at the door listening for whoever it was to walk by, Itsu doesn’t even look at the room. After a couple of seconds, Itsu hears a person walk pass the room and down the hall. Itsu sighs in relief and finally looks on which room he went into. He is shocked to see that he entered the guard’s private quarters but luckily all of the guards are on duty and not in the room. Suddenly the door knob turns and Itsu panics and goes to the other side of the door and hides behind the door as it opens. A guard enters the grumbling about forgetting something and not even closing the door.

Itsu takes a chance and quickly rushes out of the room closing the door behind him, to which the guard is confused about but not concerned. After stepping out of the guard’s quarters, he follows the hall he was going before. He turns left at the next hallway making sure their isn’t any guards in it first which their isn‘t. The next hall isn’t so lucky, as there are two guards in front of the door where the scrolls are. He realizes that he has to do something to get the guards away from their post and quickly executes a set of hand seals. After completing the hand seals, Itsu continues to hold the hold the ram hand seal. He then projects his chakra toward one of the guards stimulating his brain. Using this genjutsu, Itsu makes one of guards believe he is hearing whispers that say “Hurry up and be quiet, we need to get that scroll without letting the whole mansion know.”

The guard quickly turns his head and says to the other guard, “Did you hear that.” The other guard answers “Hear what?” The guard that believes he heard whispers says “I heard someone say something about getting the scroll.” The other guard listens “I don’t hear nothing.” The genjutsu effected guard shakes his head “I know what I heard c’mon we need to check it out.” The other guard sighs and they both leave the door going the other way down the hall leaving the way open for Itsu. Since the technique he used was a genjutsu and not a ninjutsu the ninja who is a Sakurai is unable to detect it. Itsu slowly and quietly enters the room but he isn’t alone.

In the room there are two ninja who when they see Itsu they grabs their weapons, one of the shinobi is quite large a little taller then Itsu but not as wide and has a wooden staff. The other ninja has a katana that is out of its sheath, the ninja himself is shorter and then thinner then Itsu. His face is smooth giving him a baby face, but Itsu keeps up his guard anyways. Itsu tries to talk his out of this “Alright just hand over the scroll and you don’t have to die.” Neither of the ninja appear fazed by the threat and slowly move closer to Itsu as Itsu walks to the door. He nods “Well I guess we will have to do this the hard way.” Itsu reaches into his trench coat, but when the ninja see this they rush at him. Itsu anticipated this and uses his Sugizou to dodge the ninja’s attack and leave a afterimage to fool them.

Their attack’s go straight through the afterimage, confusing both of the ninja. Itsu uses this as a opportunity to grab flash bomb he was reaching for and throw it at the ninja. Itsu closes his eyes to block the blinding flash, unfortunately the Sakurai ninja also closes his eyes. The ninja with the wooden staff isn’t so lucky and when the light bomb flash goes off he is blind and yells in pain. Itsu opens his eyes and realizes he doesn’t have long till the guards get into the room. When he opens his eyes he sees the Sakurai ninja rushes toward him with his katana ready to slash Itsu into ribbons. Itsu is against this and uses Sugizou technique once against to avoid the blade again. This time the ninja isn’t fooled and looks around for Itsu but when finds him its too late for the other ninja.

Using the sugizou technique, Itsu appears right next to the other ninja who is still blinded and swinging its wooden staff wildly. Itsu quickly grabs his knife from his hip holders and stabs the ninja in the head with his knife killing him instantly. The ninja only lets out a small cry before falling over dead. The Sakurai ninja turns around sees this and becomes very angry and rushes toward Itsu wanting him to suffer. While the Sakurai ninja is angry, Itsu is clear minded and ready to counter attack and quickly executes a set of hand seals. After completing the hand seals Itsu channel his chakra to the Sakurai ninja. The chakra causes the Sakurai ninja to hear a loud booming sound in his head, which causes him great discomfort.

The Sakurai ninja falls to his knees dropping his sword as he does, he quickly grabs his skull trying to make the pain go away. Itsu takes this time to finish him off, walking over to the Sakurai ninja with his knife in hand and stabs the Sakurai ninja in the head as well. This ends the Sakurai ninja’s suffering and he falls down dead, Itsu quickly grabs the scroll and places it in his pocket. As he turns around the five guards enter the room with weapons drawn. They are shocked when they see the two dead ninja and slowing move toward Itsu. He simply grins and quickly reaches into his trench coat pocket and pulls out another light bomb. He throws it to the guards and closes his eyes, the guards don’t know what the light bomb is so when it goes off they are unprotected.

The light bomb goes off and a blinding light travels throughout the room. The light blinds the guards and Itsu is ready to make his get away. He runs pass the guards knowing that all he has to do is get outside and he is home free. He runs down the halls running to the bathroom he entered from, and since all of the guards are blinded there is nothing to stop him. When he enters the bathroom he exits through the open window and lands on the ground but the patrolling guard sees him and rushes toward him. Itsu smiles and waves to the guard and uses his chakra to push himself into the ground. Once in the ground Itsu uses his chakra to move throughout the ground and away from the mansion home free.

------------------------------------------

After seeing his two teammates fall off a cliff, Itsu panic’s but calms himself down. He thinks about the mission and sees the animal which is a cat about to run away. Itsu knows that if he lets it get away he will never catch it. He quickly uses his body flicker technique to disappear in a puff of smoke and reappear right in front of the cat. He quickly grabs the cat who begins to struggle scratching and biting Itsu trying to escape his grasp. He wants the cat to stop but doesn’t want to hurt it and simply ignores it and walks to the cliff. Looking down the cliff, Itsu channels his chakra to his feet and steps off onto the side of the cliff. Since he is channel his earth chakra to his feet he is able walk down the cliff to the bottom, when the cat sees this is stops struggling.

The cat curls up in Itsu, arms afraid and Itsu holds the cat calming it down. They reach the bottom of the cliff and Itsu runs to his team mates. He sees that they are knocked out and need medical attention, besides the basic’s that are learn in the academy he doesn’t know medical techniques. Itsu needs to perform hand seals, but since he is holding the cat he is unable to. He has a idea and puts the cat down, which begins to run away but Itsu has a plan for stopping it. He quickly uses the Tsuchi Baindo technique and executes the hand seals: rat, boar, dog, ox, and tiger. After performing the hand seals, Itsu channels his earth chakra into the ground and propels it though the ground toward the cat. Soon four earth bandages burst from the ground and wrap around the cats four legs.

The bandages prevent the cat from escaping, and allows Itsu to focus on helping his team mates. To start, Itsu needs some help and decides to use his rock clone technique and quickly executes a set of hand seals. After performing the hand seals, Itsu channel his earth chakra into the ground below him. He uses the chakra to create four rock clone’s that raise from the ground, all of them looking exactly like Itsu. After the rock clone’s are formed they run to the bodies of the teammates but doesn’t do anything. Itsu knows that he has to transport his teammates to the village and get them into the hospital. He knows that he won’t be able to do that on foot and comes up with a way to get them to a hospital fast. He decides to use Art of the Stegosaurus and begins to execute a set of hand seals ending with the ram hand seal which he holds.

As he holds the ram hand seal, he channel his earth chakra into the ground and he uses the chakra to create a dinosaur that raises from the ground. The dinosaur has three horns, and walks over to Itsu, the rock clone and the knocked out genin. Itsu looks at the rock clones, “Grab my teammates, and get on the dinosaur and use the chakra I gave you to keep yourself on the dinosaur. Make sure you hold on to my teammate and make sure they don’t fall off as we get to the village.” The rock clone’s nod and two of them carefully pick up the bodies of the knocked out teammates. The rock clone’s are very strong and are able to easily pick up the team mates and climb onto the dinosaur without dropping them. Now that the rock clones are on the dinosaur while holding the teammates, Itsu needs to get the cat.

Itsu looks at the two remaining rock clones, “I need one of you to get that cat but make sure you don’t hurt it.” One of the rock clone’s nod and runs to the cat that is still trying to escape the earth bandages that is keeping to from moving. The rock clone hit’s the bandages to break them and grabs the cat, who tries to escape unsuccessfully. The rock clone walks to the earth dinosaur and gets on it, channeling its earth chakra to his legs to keep it from falling off. Now that the rock clones, teammates and cat are all ready to go, Itsu walks over to the earth dinosaur and jumps on. He also channels his chakra to his legs so he doesn’t fall off the earth dinosaur. When he is ready, he commands the earth dinosaur to run to the village which it does.

Despite the earth dinosaurs large size, it moves surprisingly quickly, as it runs the rock clones continues to hold the knocked out genin making sure they don’t jerk around or fall off. The last rock clone continues to hold the cat which stopped trying to escape and after a couple of minutes they finally reach the village. When they reach the village, Itsu finds a couple ANBU that are guarding the village gates and explains the situation to them. They take the teammates from the rock clone’s and disappear in a puff of smoke heading the villages hospital. Now that his team mates are safe, Itsu gets off the earth dinosaur and takes the cat from the rock clone. Doing so causes the earth dinosaur to convert into a pile of rubble, he also releases the chakra from his rock clones making them also convert into rubble.

With the cat in hand, Itsu walks to the owner’s of the cat house and gives them their cat completing the mission. Now that the mission is complete, Itsu rushes to the hospital to check on his teammates.

[Arashi Kazechuushin] - [25/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

The Yukikage wanted to assign a squad filled with shinobi with special abilities. Looking through the list, the Yukikage chose a Chuunin named Ryoku who is a master of earth release and from the Inuzuka Clan. A genin named Karasu who is highly skilled in lightning and earth techniques. The other genin is named Bara is from the Hyuuga clan who had some skill in genjutsu techniques and weapons. The last genin who is from the Kazechuushin clan who is named Arashi Kazechuushin. Being summoned to the office, the four shinobi was quickly informed about the mission and was sent on their way to the Land of Rain.

After a few days of traveling, the squad of shinobi finally arrived in the Land of Rain. Arriving in the Rain country, Ryoku quickly commanded his animal companion as himself and Bara combined their tracking abilities to find their target. Searching around, Ryoku continued to use his animal companion's sense of smell while Bara used his Byakugan as they scanned the area for the criminal. Wanting to gather information, the squad of shinobi traveled to the nearest town as they began to ask questions on the whereabouts of the criminal.

After a few hours of gathering information, Arashi found bartender who saw him. "Do you know where this criminal last seen?" Asked Arashi as he flashed a picture of the man they were searching for. "Oh yea, I seen him. You just missed him, he said he was headed to a cabin deep in the rain forest up north from here." Said the Bartender as Arashi quickly ran to inform the squad. "Good work Arashi, lets go." Said Ryoku as the squad continued their travels up north as they search around in the forest of the Rain Country. Hours went by as they continued to search the deep forest of the country until they heard an explosion several dozen yards up from their location. "That has to be him Ryoku". Said Karasu as Ryoku, Bara, and Arashi nodded their heads in agreement as they headed up north to the explosion site.

Moments later as they finally arrived at the destination, a dark figure stood up upon a large cliff looking down upon the squad. "So I heard you guys have been looking for me huh." Said the man, as he laughed out a bit. "Just to let ya know, I’m not going down without a fight." Said the man who is currently nameless now. Suddenly, the man ran off, as Ryoko knew that he had to catch him. "Aiight squad, track him down. Since he is a water master, I am going to trap him using my earth techniques. This will allow you to use your lightning techniques without worrying about the rain.

As soon as I trap him, you people will be on your own for a while. Use teamwork and be careful." Said Ryoku as he nodded his head as the four shinobi flickered away. Pouring down heavily, the squad continued to chase down the criminal as h continued to run. Then suddenly as they was in the middle of an open field, the criminal suddenly stopped running as he turned around to face the squad. "Since you guys want to catch me so badly, show me what you got." Said the man as he performed some hand seals "Suiton: Haran Banshou (Water Element: Stormy Blockade)" Shouted the man as blockade of water suddenly materialized behind him, rushing toward the squad who is 20ft away directly in front of him.

As the blockade of water rushed toward them, the group jumped out of the way as Ryoku performed some hand seals he as he shouted "Maruishi Tounyuu (Boulder throw)" Said Ryoku as he launched 5m by 5m large boulder toward the criminal. As the boulder was sent launching at the criminal, Karasu performed some hand seals of his own. "Doton: Ijou Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Release: Surrounding Pebble Barrage)" as an array of rocks around the criminal began to rise and spin around the criminal.

As the two attacks came toward the criminal, they connected as a burst of water flashed everywhere which result in him being a water clone. Ten feet away from Arashi, the criminal had already formed some hand seals "Mizu No Tatsumaki (Tornado of Water)" aiming to strike Arashi.

As a tornado of water was sent toward him, Arashi activated his bloodline ability as he turned into a cloud of wind. As the water technique neared Arashi, the tornado of water simply phased and passed right through Arashi, as the criminal was shocked, having his eyes wide open. "You guys are quite impressive, but that still isn’t enough to stop me." Said the criminal as he formed the hand seals, resulting a Hidden Mist technique being formed. Responding to the mist, Ryoku formed the hand seals. "Doton: Diyu Maze" he said as a wall of maze rised up from the ground, trapping everyone including the squad and the criminal inside. Already being informed of the plan, Arashi knew that he and the other two genins had to defeat the criminal on their own now.

Leading the way, Arashi strolled through the maze of earth with Bara using his Byakugan to search the maze for the criminal. Knowing that he can’t break through the earthen maze, the criminal waited to strike and attempts to finish off Arash and the squad. As Bara used his Byakugan, he quickly saw and spotted the criminal a few feet in front of them behind several walls.

Using their communication devices to contact each other, Bara stood behind to inform where the target is and his movements. Karasu and Arashi walked a head, as they were only two corners away from the target. Forming hand seals, "Suiton - Haretsu Mizu-mari (Water Style - Exploding Water Ball)" Said the target as three fist sized balls were launched around the corner as the target planned to finish them off. As the three balls flie around the corner from Arashi and Karasu, as Arashi quickly formed some hand seals "Futon: Meimei Hei" Said Arashi as an invisible wall of wind formed in front of them.

Then suddenly, the three balls exploded, sending shards flying everywhere, connecting and being deflected by the wall of wind. Sigh, Arashi was relieved that he manages to block the shards. He formed some more hand seals as he attempted to trap the target. "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara,(Water Release: Syrup Capture Field)" as he release a field of sticky syrup onto the field. Wanting to draw the target out and trap him, Karasu formed some hand seals. "Doton: Ba-di-Kawaii no Jutsu (Earth Release: Art of the Pretty Birdies)" Said Karasu as five birds of earth flies around the corner toward the target.

Rushing out of the corner, the target quickly destroyed the birds as he stepped onto the field of sticky syrup. Just as soon as he was trapped, he formed hand seals "Suiton - Haretsu Mizu-mari (Water Style - Exploding Water Ball)" Said the criminal as three fist size balls materialized in front of him and were sent launching toward Arashi and Karasu.

Knowing that this was their chance, Karasu formed some hand seals "Maruchifurasshu no Jutsu (Multiflash Technique). Close your eyes Arashi!" He said in a low voice as he used his chakra to discharge and create multiple flashes in the earth maze, as the criminal was blinded by the extremely bright lights that rapidly and repeat flashed in the maze. Charging in, Arashi activated his bloodline, which allowed him to phase directly through the three fist size balls of water, as they swiftly passed him and struck the maze earthen wall, scattering all the shards everywhere.

Using the blinding lights as cover, Arashi charged in and performed some hand seals "Kazeken (Wind Blade)" Said Arashi as both his arms managed to turn into blades of wind. As his arms turned into blades, Arashi charged in toward the target and thrusted his blade into the targets chest, piercing directly through the heart with ease due to its sharpness and being made of solid wind. As he thrusted the B-Class criminal, the blinding lights disappaited as Karasu stood lending on the ground with a shard in his shoulder. Then as he withdrew his blade, he deactivated his bloodline, turning into his normal form. With the blade withdrawn, the B-Class criminal fell down to his knees before falling over, as his blood spilled everywhere on the earthen maze.

Looking at his arm, his entire arm was covered in the criminal’s blood. Shrugging it off, Arashi walled over to Karasu as he helped him up to his feet and walked over to Bara where he waited. Gathering, the earthen maze quickly begun to fall and sink down back into the earth as Ryoku stood there on his knees, breathing heavily. "I think I over did it with the maze, I kept it up to long." He said while breathing heavily, as he stood up to his feet and regathered and recollected with the squad, reporting everything that happen in the maze. Hours and days later as they traveled back to the Land of Snow with the criminal, they received their reward and parted ways.

------------------------------------------

As Arashi arrived at the large mansion's location, he positioned himself and hid in the outer forest surrounding the large mansion located near the capital of Fire Country. Hiding in a large tree positioned in the east section of the mansion, Arashi grabbed his binoculars and looked around to count how many guards stood watch in his area of the wall. Using his binoculars, he marked and counted two guards on the east portion of the mansion. As he stood hidden in the tree, he noticed that the two guards were walking back-to-back away from each other

. They were at least 10ft away from each other, marked Arashi. He stood there waiting for the perfect time to take out a guard and take his place by switching cloths. Moments later as a guard passed by him, Arashi grabbed his kunai and reached down as he quickly sliced his throat and hid the body in the forest. Quickly changing clothing, Arashi walked out into the field where the guard was positioned to patrol. Without being caught or noticed, the second guard strolled right pass him without a care. Turning around, he withdrew his kunai and quickly took out the second guard as he hid his body in the forest as well. Without a care about if there were other guards, he walked toward the wall and climbed the wall using his chakra on his feet. Moments later as he reached a nearby window, he prepped it open as he quickly climbed in through the window, carefully as he looked around for any guards.

As he stealth fully entered the building and closed the window behind him, Arashi knew that their was wasn’t access directly into the room. He knew that he had to go through the front door of the room which he figured there was a single guard there. As he stood in the hallway, he noticed that there was a guard coming his way. Needing to hide, Arashi entered his Kazeotokooya Megumi form as he turned into his ghost-form, turning almost invisible to the naked eye. Just as he turned into his ghost-form, two guards slowly paced right by him as they continued down the hallway. Deactivating his bloodline ability, he climbed on the ceiling using his chakra as he quietly traveled through the hallways stealth fully. Knowing the layout of the entire mansion, he headed directly through the room, by-passing every guard that he passed by crawling on the ceiling wall stealth fully using his wall walking skill. Nonetheless, Arashi would enter his bloodline ability every time he passed a guard just in case they looked up or noticed a shadow. As he approached the room, he stood directly in front of the door on the ceiling wall.

Standing there, he noticed that there were two shadows peaking out from under the door. "I thought there was one guard. Damn, now theirs more trouble to deal with." Thought Arashi Kazechuushin as he silently jumped down from the ceiling, landing on his feet like a feline. Nonetheless, Arashi performed some hand seals while he activated his bloodline ability, turning into his ghost-form. Cutting off his arm, he created a clone "Kaibunshin". Said Arashi Kazechuushin as he continued to form hand seals "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara". Said Arashi as he poured and spitted out a stream of extremely sticky oily syrup that traveled under the doorway, spreading outward into the room where the scroll was located. Just as the stream of syrup poured under the door, the clone formed some hand seals of his own.

"Fuuton: Kamisorikaze!" Said clone-Arashi as he opened the door, as a small-centralized dome of twisting and violent winds were instantly created in the room, forming a dome of 10m in diameter. As the dome was created, Arashi noticed there were actually two guards instead of one, in which both were trapped in the sticky field of syrup, as they were the cutting wind dome's new victims. Seconds later as the wind from the dome dissipated, the floor was littered in blood as the two bodies layed on the ground. Running in the room as they closed the door behind them, Arashi grabbed the scroll and examined it to see if it was the one he was looking for.

After examination, clone-Arashi opened the door as the two quietly walked out and returned on the ceiling using chakra to hide from the unaware guards that stood below on the halls. Minutes later as he turned back to the open window, the clone disappeared due to no longer being needed, Arashi quietly climbed down the window and wall. He quickly returned into the forest with his original clothing and vanished into the forest, heading back to his village without evening being caught or the alarms being set off.

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Good all around, as before.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 2/4 points – For starters, the techniques and general goings-on in the mission were original. Taking out the guards was not something I saw coming, although I'm sure killing them would have had consequences. I take off for originality because there was nothing about the ninja in there, which took away from the mission as a whole. It could have been made more dangerous, more exciting.
Usage of Given information – 1/3 points – Nothing was really mentioned about knowing the layout of the mansion, although it was certainly used to an extent. The information about the guards and how many is here, but.. there is absolutely nothing about the ninja and their abilities.

------------------------------------------

Strolling out of the briefing room after being assigned a mission to find and catch an animal. He was assigned to this mission along with Majo Hyuuga and Tsume Inuzuka. Looking at both of them, he wanted to introduce himself and inform them of his abilities before they start the mission. "I'm Arashi from the Kazechuushin Clan." Said Arashi as he extended his hand to shake the two genins hands in a sign of respect.

"I'm Majo Hyuuga." ,"I'm Tsume Inuzuka." said the two genins as the three shook hands and went on their journey to track down the animal. "The animal were are suppose to track down and capture is supposed to be a rare breed of an artic wolf. Since you are a Hyuuga member, it would be best if you use your Byakugan to scan the area while you, Tsume, will find the artic wolf using your sense of smell." Said Arashi Kazechuushin as the two nodded in agreement as the three genins began their journey in a nearby forest where it was last spotted.

Strolling through forest, white sprinkles of snow fell from the cold, empty sky as the squad continues to stroll and travel through the dense forest. Using her Byakugan to scan the area, she spotted nothing but other wild animals such as birds, bears, and other mysterious creatures she is not sure what they are. As they traveled through the forest, the squad made small talk about how lame this mission is and how easy they think the mission is as well.

Minutes later, Majo spotted a wild, artic wolf running northeast of their current location. Almost at the same time, Tsume had managed to catch the smell of the artic wolf to confirm that this artic wolf is the same one they are looking around for. After having spotted the artic wolf, Arashi, Majo, and Tsume ran after the artic wolf. "Ill catch him!" Said the energetic Inuzuka member as he and his animal companion charged forward toward the artic wolf with amazing speed, as they wanted to be the one to catch and claim the wolf.

Charging forward without thinking, he neared and was within a few feet from the wolf as the artic wolf ran away with amazing speed, dashing left and right, attempting to avoid capture. Just as Tsume was within inches from the artic wolf, he jumped in the air to catch the wolf only to have the wolf stop at the edge. As the animal stopped at the ledge, Majo shouted "Watch out, its a cliff!" She shouted but it was too late as Tsume slipped and fell over the rocky cliff.

As he fell down the cliff, his screams echoed and could be heard all throughout the area, which a chilling sensation rosed on the back of Arashi's neck as he feared for Tsume's life. As the two ran toward the edge, Arashi stopped behind Majo. "Help Tsume, Ill go catch the artic wolf." Said Arashi as he knew that it would take forever and they will lose the wolf if he stood there at the cliff. Nodding, Majo walked over to the edge and looked over the edge. "Woo, that’s a long drop." She said as his eyes widen from shock as she spotted Tsume on a rock face, unconscious.

Feeling scared and worried, Majo attempted to climb down the cliff. As she climbed down, she lost her footing on the cliff wall as she shouted out help for Arashi. Hearing Majo's scream for help, Arashi stopped chasing the Artic wolf and ran back to the edge of the cliff. Just as he reached the edge of the cliff, Majo's scream for help ceased as he looked down to spot both Majo and Tsume unconscious on the rock face of the cliff. Knowing that he had only the choice to rescue his teammates or leave them behind to track down the artic wolf.

Never wanting to leave his teammates behind, Arashi performed some hand seals while he activated his bloodline ability. Quickly transforming into his ghost-like form, "Kaibunshin (Cut Clone)" He said as he gripped his kunai and cut off his wind arm. Then suddenly, his severed limb quickly transformed into an interactive, solid clone of himself, which stood next to him. "Alright, you go find the artic wolf while I stay here and help my friends." He said as he ordered his clone to track down the animal. Obeying orders, the clone left to find and capture the wolf.

Moments later, Arashi created another clone by cutting off his other arm. As he and the clone stood there on the edge of the cliff. Arashi activated his A-Rank version of Kazeotokooya Megumi as he flies down the cliff toward the rock face. Flying down and reaching Majo and Tsume, he noticed that Tsume has a long, strong rope as he quickly grabbed the rope and tied it around Tsume and Majo's body. Tying around their bodies tight, Arashi fly up with the rope and deactivated his bloodline as he reached the top of the cliff to his previous position.

Handing a piece of rope to the clone, both himself and the clone pulled the rope with all of their strength. Struggling greatly, they still manage to slowly pull the two young and small genins up from the rock face back to the top. Slowly as minutes quickly flies by, they finally managed to pull the two genins to the top. Just as he pulled the two to the top as he fell over on his back attempting to catch his breath, the first clone arrived with the artic wolf in his grip, struggling to escape. Laughing to himself, Arashi grabbed the rope and tied the wolf up to prevent him from escaping again and running away. "You two carry these guys back to the local hospital." Said Arashi as the two clones grabbed the two genins and carried them back to the hospital to get checked up. As soon as they finished and were cleared, the two genins went on to finish the mission.

Originality – 3/4 points – This was a good mission. I enjoyed that it was not written from the point that the prompt left off on, but actually explained how the team mates wound up on the cliff. I thought perhaps there should have been more information on how the clone actually caught the wolf, being that wolves can become violent when they are threatened, but otherwise this was nice. Good job on using the bloodlimit to get the team mates.

[Ikiri Morimo] - [29/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

"Listen Up Guys! We are aided by the power of overwhelming force. Now, we can never underestimate an opponent, especially one who is a master of the element that is showing itself right now, Water. Luckily, we are all Mist Shinobi, and now we have that same advantage."

"Yes Sir!" Ikiri would chime into the trio of unison.

"Any Idea's on how we can execute our mission?"

"I, may have an Idea," His Gennin ally would say, "We need to utilize the rain. Something like, The Falling Rain technique, I don't know? Something of that sort?"

"Good Idea. Yet, I would wish to add on. Somebody while in a heavy rain would not be able to distinguish between Drops of Oil, and drops of rain. What I'm saying is; The Black Clouds Technique. Hell, I have an even better Idea. Immobilize him, Gas him down, Burn him. Or we can Immobilize him and take it from there," Ikiri would breathe after that long statement.

"Dangerous. Too Dangerous, think of something else."

"We Need to get him Away from the Rain."

His lone female ally had mentioned.

"No, this is a much better Idea! Get him away, you can do that Yuri. Leader, you and Kashi can watch over her as she leads him into maybe, a building? Abandon one but it still has to have lights. Maybe one that is condemned and soon to have utilities cut off," breath, "Then I can be there, ready to use my Kagemane. I believe I can hold him long enough to use something that could kill him. The plan will probably change though."

"Now That; That is a plan. We'll scope out the area, then we'll get everything in order."

As the four of them would enter the Capital, they would walk the streets, hoods up. Looking to each and every building for a orange paper. Hell, an eviction notice would work. As the twenty minute mark peaked, Ikiri would spot a building. A apartment with wooded up windows. His leader would kick in the door and they would shuffle in quick. No lights however. The only thing here that might have helped was a mattress. But then again, someone could take the place of a light bulb or a lamp at the back of the room; Yahiko probably. His leader, Kashi, could take form of a fan to blow the smoke away from the Henge. Ikiri would take form of a mattress right next to the original.

So the plan: Have Yuki draw him into this room in this apartment. Second door to the right when you enter the door. After which she can continue to have him start to let his guard down which; would be code named "Weather". Or she can allow Ikiri to take over which; would be code named "Wanna Do this now?" After which, the henge would be canceled for Ikiri, resulting in smoke going off around him, the fan already blowing will quickly get that away and the Kagemane, with the aid of the lamp, will capture him in the shadowy grasp. After that, he would be dead. When he hits the ground dead, all henge's could be canceled and the others could work magic.

Yuki would nod as they went over the plan and she would leave to go scout out where the target was. While the three guys were already in henge form ready for action. She would walk the streets until she had found him, the B Class Criminal, walking the streets. Running into a RamenKing, Yuki would burst into the bathroom, remove all Hoods and vests and such except for her knife which was kept in her very short shorts. Making her hair look more trashy, she would deem herself ready. Walking back out the store, she would feel a warmness. The rain wasn't cold, so this outfit could work. She was just infront of the Criminal. Walking the prostitute strut she had seen many girls do, she would look back to see the criminal staring at her. Slowing her pace, she would only say few words:

"Follow Me if you want it. And I know you do."

Speeding her walk once more to be ahead of him, she would lead the criminal to the apartment building. Shaking her head from the rain and rubbing her hands against her body to get the liquid off, she would begin to the second door on the right. Looking back, she would see him already with his shirt off. Grinning, Yuki would allow him in. Then she would say the code phrase:

"Wanna Do This Now?"

Ikiri would cancel his henge and shoot up, smoke already disappearing and shadows growing stronger from the light. As the criminal was dumbfounded, Yuki and jumped back and Ikiri formed the hand seal. Not even saying the jutsu name, the dark shadow would extend to him and have the criminal in the cobra clutch. No time at all to waste, for 49 seconds wasn't as long as someone would think. Tendrils would rise from the shadow on the floor and swiftly fly at the criminal. Each tendril would slice in and out of him, one through the neck, one through the heart, one for each lung, and the last through both hands. Due to the hands being connected, that last one was easy. Ikiri had focused much more strength into his tendrils then the average one. These ones could rip though skin. And in this case, out of skin.

As blood began to pour from his body, Ikiri would release the hold of the Shadow Imitation and all henges in the room would be let up. Yuki would look to he, and his Chuunin Leader would only clap. Yahiko would smile, with some malice, but it was whatever. His leader would lop the head off of him and the quad would depart, with the head wrapped in a cloth. Lots of planning, No Casualities, Simple.

Aw Shit. This had the mission he had been dreading. Having reviewed each and every little detail of this mansion. The guards worked for a company of the enemy village, so finding names wasn't an option. And when getting into an enemy complex, Ninjutsu wasn't an option, due to detection. Taijutsu & Weapons were his only options on this. Sitting among the shrubery at the back of the mansion, inside the grounds, Ikiri would be blended in with the enviornment, on the ground with his tan skin and beige shorts and light shirt. Having been sitting in that same place for eight hours, scooping the place out, he would see that no one pratrolled this area. Yet, they still had all eyes on the back and the front. Hmm, his position here could help him actually. Out of view, yet, a sound could make one or all three guards come over to the bushes.

Ok, the plan was in motion.

"Ka-KAW!"

Obvious, yet it would still get them over here. And sure enough, all three guards would come running from the back entrance to see what the ruckus was about. As all three man groups would do, the trio would not all enter in the same place, leaving Ikiri the oppertunity to deal seprate. As the first, middle guard busted through the foliage, Ikiri would take his head and smack it on his knee. Blood beginning to pour from the nasal, Ikiri would sweep to the left, appearing right behind the guard there. Pulling his head backward, he would chop the neck, sending the guard into unconciousness. Leaping backwards out of the foilage, Ikiri would watch as the last guard woulds just note his appearance. Running towards him, the boy would meet the guard at the point of where mansion grounds and forest met. Taking his head, the boy would spin him straight into a tree. He was out too.

Jumping back into the green, Ikiri would realize he had only a couple minutes to change and get into the house. Windows of oppertunity closed quick. Having put on the guards jumpsuit, the boy was now walking at a fast pace back up to the back door. The foyer was the target, yet there were guards all over the mansions. Where the guards were was beyond him. Now, it was something that would take straight, covert things. Walking into the porch area and into the Great Room, Ikiri would get a face of straight sterness. A guard that was in the room would look to him with great curiousity. great. As that guard would walk towards him, he would stop walking. And just as the guard came into striking distance, the boy would grab his shoulder and back of head. Then, tripping him, Ikiri would put his head into the floor, breaking a nose, cheek bone, and knocking him out. Feeling him up and down, the boy would find what he was looking for; A Scroll. What was in the scroll didn't concern him.

Concealing the scroll up into the sleve of the suit, he would open the sliding doors to see the two ninjas. Putting on his best, concerned and scared look.

"The guys that went into the woods haven't come back yet and the guard in the great room! The one in the Great Room! His head is bleeding! I don't have training in Shinobi Ways. You guys go check--"

"One of us will."

"Okay, Okay, Okay, I'll stay here."

As the one with the sword left to go investigate, Ikiri would walk up to the Bojutsu Star. Falling back and getting ready to deck this dude, in all over a quick second, a bo staff would be drawn and brought down on his foot. Not stopping the attack, the punch of Kratos would connect and send the ninja into a wall. Wasting no time, Ikiri would pick up and staff and slap the glass box with holding the scroll, shattering it. Hurrying, realizing that he was causing more comotion then expected. Swapping scrolls for the one he had came for, he would begin running. Kicking open to door, the door on the other side of the way he entered, dashing through the empty area and onto the porch, he would swing the staff into the head onto the guard that had his back turned. Dropping the staff, he would be off, Shunhin'ing [3|3] away from the area. Three leaps. That was far enough.

Now off to return the scroll to his village.

Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 4/4 points – Very original. While I am not a fan of taking out the guards because of the consequences, the problem with this was taken care of mostly through putting on a guard's uniform to get inside. With the visual of this "mansion" that Ikiri used, getting into the room with the scroll was a cinch, thanks to the porch. I enjoyed the simplicity most of all, but tricking a ninja and then taking out the other one.. nice.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – All information was used, although in unique ways. The fact that the layout of the mansion was provided was conformed to one's advantage by providing a visual in a link. The ninja are mentioned, although completely fooled by the appliance of a guard uniform, and of course the guards were there.

Time was of the essence. Looking over the edge, Ikiri would swiftly think up a plan. Wasting no time on the animal, the boy would Shunshin just eight meters behind it, already on the Dog Hand seal. Finishing off the trio, Ikiri would see as the mud would extend to it's 33 Foot by 33 Foot (10 x 10 meter) area. Yet, this area would be cut short of where the boy wanted it to end, but it would still work. Thinking of this equation, the boy would lay it out in his mind.

"At the Edge = 12 meters away from the animal = 2 meters out of the mud field's jurisdiction.

4 meters behind the animal = 8 meters from the edge = Mud reaches until 3 meters from the edge.

This means, the animal could be caught in the thick mud, not being able to sink for some time, and when Ikiri blasted one of the two allies from down below they could land in the mud, safe."

Good, so watching the paws of the animals beginning to sink in, the boy would see that it could not move now. Leaping up into the air, Ikiri would just make it over the edge and begin his descend into the stomach below. Along the wall of the earth, just as he came near the rock face where his allies were, mumbling and disoriented; the boy would punch into the wall as he began a skid to the face. Feet touching it, he would take the hand of his male ally and swing him around about two time and then let go. This, this right here, was timing. Throwing his female ally, the lighter one to the two that had fell, over his shoulder.

Breaking his hand into the wall, Ikiri would flow chakra to his feet and push off. Blasting the rock floor-wall-thing, Flying straight up, the boy would be just behind his male ally. Landing just on the edge of where the earth ended, he would drop her and get to jumpin'. Blasting off for the second time this mission, he would collide straight into his flailing comrade and twist him around. Sending him diagonally into the mud pit. The animal was now up to his stomach. That's just, a little bit past the legs. Shunshin'ing back to the ground and on the other side of the mud pit, Ikiri would pull the animal up so that it had another decent into the mud.

Smacking the male around for a couple minutes, he would get him to wake up finally. Ikiri would have told him to pick the female ally as he grabbed the animal and they would all walk away, very annoyed. This was the life of a shinobi, anyway. You got to deal with these types of things. But that was some extra planning, his brain was going to hurt for a second.

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – There were a few minor errors, but.. most of the mission was done with well in both spelling and grammar.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 3/4 points – It was not bad at all. Using the mud to trap the animal certainly prevented it from escaping. Getting the male team mate up by tossing him was.. dangerous, as well. The points were taken off mostly because there very well could have been injury to the animal and the ally, but these concerns were not addressed. Covering the animal in mud would have also upset the "prestigious person," and I would have liked to see the reaction upon handing the animal over.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – Easy. All the information was used-- the animal, it's location, the team mates falling to the cliff, etc.

[Miyako Emma-o] - [24/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

The rain in her face, Miyako glanced over at her three teammates. They were all prepared for the worse possible situation as they headed towards the Rain City Capital. They all had been assigned the task of assassinating a powerful criminal, and were prepared to complete the mission even if it meant their lives. As they came near the edge of the town, they all stopped and crouched down as they prepared a plan.

"We shouldn't charge straight in their," Miyako informed, seeing her teammates agreeing. "That could be reckless, and cost us our lives. While we're all prepared for that, let's try NOT to lose them." They all agreed again. "The criminal is a Suiton user, a master of water. Yet water has a weakness: Earth. Are any of you earth users?"

"I am," the Chuunin put in. "So, you have a plan?"

"Yes," she answered. "We walk in casually, like we're travelers, so we must take off our headbands. We do not want anyone to know that we are from Leaf. Set them inside your rain cloaks somewhere, under you shirt or something, and we will enter the town. The first place we are heading to it an Inn. The criminal is likely to be there, I just have a feeling. We will casually ask around about him, asking for the names of any water masters in the area. In addition, we will ask if they know where this person is. If he is not at the Inn, we will head elsewhere. Any questions?"

"I have one," one of the other two gennin asked. "What do we do when we find him?"

"Isn't that simple?" she asked in derision. "We sneak in, and we kill him. That is it. We do whatever it takes to get in and assassinate him. Any more?"

No more questions were asked, and they four of them took off their headbands. Heading into the Capital was simple; the people guarding it only asked them a few questions about where they were from. Miyako answered with a simple, “We’re travelers, out home is out on the surrounding plains. We've run out of food, and have come to buy more." The guards believed them, and they entered causally. To another person, they asked where the Inn was, and were pointed off in another direction. They slipped in casually, and Miyako headed for the counter.

"Innkeeper, I have a question," Miyako said pleasantly. "I'm a ninja from the plains, and it has been my life long ambition to learn how to master water. I sent a request to one of the master's, who were supposed to be here."

"Oh, you be lookin' for master Fuji, than, aren't ya?" he asked, leaning inwards.

"Yes, I believe so. I can't quite remember his name, he told me to come on this day a long time ago," she replied. "Do you know where I can find him?"

"Aye, he be upstairs and to the left. Today is the day he comes to put on a little festival for everyone an'..." he paused. "Sort through his bounty."

Miyako bowed slightly to him. "Thank you, than me and my friends will be going up than."

"Ah, he specifically said that if anyone came, that I only let two people in," the Innkeeper informed. "So, choose on of ya friends an than go up."

Miyako nodded and walked to the other side of the Inn towards her teammates. "He's here," she spoke quietly, the noise of the Inn protecting their conversation. "But only two of us can go up there. That will be me, and you," she nodded towards the Chuunin.

"Ah man, why you two?" one of the Gennin asked in disappointment.

"Because," she hissed. "The Innkeeper thinks that I'm here to learn from the master criminal, and Chuunin over here is the Earth user. Now come on." Without waiting to here the response of "I have a name," from the mumbling Chuunin, Miyako headed towards the stairs, nodding towards the Innkeeper with a smile. Climbing the rickety stairs, they headed for the door appointed to them.

She knocked three times, softly, and waited for a response. The door opened a crack, and she saw an eye peak out. "Who be there?" a voice growled.

"Master Fuji," Miyako spoke. "Surely you would remember us? You told me several months ago to come today and you would teach me and my brother the art of using water."

"Oh, aye, I remember you, come in," the man stood aside and let them enter. She cast a glance at the Chuunin as the passed, and the turned around to face the criminal. "So, what it be that you want to learn first?"

"Master Fuji, the Fire nation as hereby declared your death for crimes against us and other nations," Miyako spoke. "It is time that you meet justice."

There was a shocked look on his face as the Chuunin lunged at him, calling up earth from out side the window. It was quick and clean, that the criminal dropped to the ground, unconscious. "That was too simple," Miyako muttered. "Stealth is the best, I guess."

She walked over to him as she pulled out her scimitar. "Mater Fuji, goodbye," she spoke as she raised the sword and brought it down in a swift motion. The head tumbled to the side and she bent down, ignoring her teammate's wide eyes, and lifted it up, stuffing it into her cloak. "Come on," she ordered.

They exited, and Miyako put on a distressed look as they passed the Innkeeper, telling him that the Master had changed his mind and they left. Pulling her hood back up, the headed towards the market place, where the bought a few groceries so that the guards at the gate would not be too suspicious. They exited, smiling at the guards as they left and headed for Konoha, their mission successful.

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Good on both points.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality

[/b] – 2/4 points – It was original but.. a little unbelievable. If the man is a criminal the Rain City Capital probably would not be willingly hiding him, or know of his bounty. Moreover, as a criminal, he would not be taking students on to learn water techniques.. it's too risky for him. I would have liked to see more of a battle, or a little more description on how the Chuunin took out the criminal. There was no technique actually "used" by the Chuunin, and there was no explanation on how the criminal didn't dodge something when it came crashing through his window.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – Knowing that the criminal was suiton master helped in this mission, although I still believe him agreeing to teach it and allowing an unknown person into his room was unbelievable. More over, staging the attack out of the rain (inside a house) helped to negate any of his attacks.. if he had been granted some.

------------------------------------------

Miyako stealthily maneuvered her way around the building, moving at a distance so the roaming guards would not spot her. Spotting one, she kneeled behind a tree and reached into her weapon pouch, where, at the very bottom, was a map she had carefully drawn out to match the one she had been shown. Setting it on the ground, she read over it, making sure she knew a correct route. She could not sneak in from a window directly into the room where the scroll was hidden. But that didn't stop her from going in through a window. If she made a racket by sneaking through the door with the chance of being spotted, she might alert the ninja in the central room. A window would be a good way to get in.

Standing up, she looked for the window on the side of the building that was closest to her chosen route. She chose one, and waited for the guards to move out of sight. Quickly, she ran for it, as fast and quietly as she could move, and came to the bottom. It was not too high up, far enough down for her to jump up and grasp the sill. It was locked, to her disappointment, but she took out one of her senbon. She remembered hearing somewhere that if you hit glass at the right spot, it would shatter cleanly and without noise. The spot was supposed to be somewhere in the lower left corner, about two inches up and in. Holding the senbon steady, she jammed it into the correct spot. She sighed in relief as it shattered. Without waiting a second longer, she pulled herself fully in and dropped to the ground.

Moving to the door, she cracked it slightly, peering in. No one there. She pulled the door fully open and stepped out. Closing it behind her, she ran through the halls as quietly as she could, putting her back to the wall and peering around the corner each time she came to the end of a hall. At one point, she saw a guard coming her way. She could not run back, there was nowhere to hide. No doors aligned this short hall. She pressed against the wall was well as she could, and as the guard came around the corner, she moved behind him and used the side of her hand to hit his neck as hard as she could. It should not kill him, only knock him out. As he fell to the ground, she caught him. Peering around the corner again, she checked for guards. There was none.

Moving back through the hall, she opened a door and dragged the guard's body in. Spotting a closet, she dumped him into it and left quickly. She was almost to her destination. She hoped to get in and out without a fight. While she was eager for a fight, she did not think now was a great time. She came to the correct door. There was one ninja in there protecting the scroll, so she was told. However, every intelligent person was aware of the fact that that might change and that there might be more. She was not sure how many where in there. She needed a distraction or something. Looking around, she decided that now would be a good time for an unconscious guard to be spotted.

She went to the end of the hall again, and crouched down, waiting. A guard came by, and she repeated the same maneuver that she had with the other. Yet instead of putting this one in a room, she dragged him to the end of a perpendicular hall to this one. Laying the body in the middle of the ground, she took a kunai out and hid in a room, waiting. Now, she waited, and when she heard footsteps, she threw the kunai at a vase in the direction opposite of the room with the scroll, creating a loud shatter. The nearest guard yelled out for the ninja, that he "spotted" an intruder. Like morons (in her opinion), they came running out and in the direction pointed. The guard was ordered to stay behind, and he stood rooted to where he was. Miyako came out of the door, and before the guard could shout out, she hit him in the neck, sending him spiraling to the ground.

Immediately she ran towards the room with the valuable scroll. Slipping in, she ran to the scroll and quickly lifted it off the table. There weren't any traps? She shrugged, all the better for her. Not wasting a second, she ran out of the room and around the corner at the same time as the two ninja was entering the room she had just left. Hearing a shout about the missing scroll rign out, she began to run, discarding some stealth as she ran for a room. Slipping in, she climbed up on top of a table and broke the window, climbing out of it and dropping to the grassy ground below. Heading for the forest, she heard the cries dim as she made her way back towards Konoha.

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Good spelling and grammar.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 1/4 points – Getting in through a window without being spotted is very difficult; moreover, shattering glass (even after hitting the correct spot) would still cause noise. Perhaps not the cracking of the glass itself, but certainly when it fell down and hit the ground or the floor it would. This would have alerted a guard or two, if they were doing their jobs correctly. It was a good idea to distract the guards by using a kunai to shatter a vase in the opposite room but, ninja being as they are, only one of them would have gone to check it out. The other probably would have stayed to guard the scroll. There should have been fighting involved in this, but.. even though there wasn't and some of the logic was flawed, it was still an okay read.
Usage of Given information – 2/3 points – Most information was used. The layout and mention of the guards, although the number of them was not important. Knowing of only one ninja was mentioned, however, nothing about their skills was used because there was not a conflict that probably should have happened.

She frowned, as her two teammates were so clueless as to run near the cliff. She scowled as the second one fell off. She couldn’t[t believe their stupidity, they were so stupid. She spotted the dog about to run away, and turned her gaze towards it. All she had been doing was chasing it, which was not the best way to catch any animal. Therefore, she knelt down and made a clicking sound.

The dog paused and faced her. Still making the clicking noise, she began to slowly creep towards the animal. It stayed still as she came closer, and she paused when it began to look frightened. "Here, Pooch," she called out its name softly. "I don't want to hurt you, I want to help you. Your mommy is worried about you; you've given her quite the fright by running away. Let me help you find your way home." She stayed still, not wanting to scare her. Slowly, she began the clicking noise again, and Pooch began to slowly walk towards her.

She knew that sudden movements frightened dogs when they were in an unfamiliar place. She doubted that Pooch had ever been here before. It was a lonely and desolate field with strange objects and an unfamiliar smell. She was likely to be scared and afraid of this area, so far away from home. Moreover, she was not likely to find strangers running at her a particularly pleasant thing. Miyako continued to smile, however, instead of scowling at her teammate’s stupidity.

It wasn't long, however, until Pooch was less than a foot away from her. Instead of lunging to grab her and risking the dog running away in sudden fright once more, she continued to make the clicking sound with her tongue and the roof of her mouth. When the dog's nose touched her fingers, she gently reached out and scooped her up. "There we go, I'll bring you back home," she promised. Walking over to the cliff and peering over the edge, she shook her head. "They're idiots, I'll have to have someone come save them," she mumbled. She headed to Pooch's house, where she would hand her the dog, go to the Hokage’s Tower, and inform them of her teammate's failure, but her success.

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – There was some repetition, but most of the grammar and spelling was fine.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 4/4 points – It was good. The dog probably would not have come to a complete stranger even with the soothing actions and clicking noises, but that totally depends on the nature of the dog-- even if it was scared. Besides that, not using a jutsu to collect the animal was refreshing. Leaving the team mates on the cliff.. that was interesting. Not my first choice, but it certainly constitutes points in this category.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – All given information was used.. Even though there was nothing done to help the team mates, the fact that they had fallen and could not help her was.

After following the target, my teammates and I would follow our target from a distance on the rooftops of the buildings; keeping tabs on his location with my mastery over the Ototon release. We will wait for the perfect time to strike such as when he is away from any civilians and populated buildings. Should such an opportunity arise; I would send a few Kamizuru bees from within my body to cling to my partners hair near their ears. Removing my Mateki from my back, I would quickly move in range of my opponent with the aid of a body flicker and begin a melody to subdue him quickly. As I began to play my flute, the insects perched on my opponents ears would beat their wings furiously, blocking the sound waves from my instrument from entering their heads, thus keeping them free of my genjutsu.

Since the opponent was given no opportunity to know we were approaching, he would find himself within a painful genjutsu that replaced the safety of the real world. While the missing ninja was being tormented, my teammates would quickly dispose of the ninja with a lethal attack of their specialty. Once he was disposed of, my teammates and I would return to the village with the corpse to complete our mission.

Spelling/Grammar – 0/1 point – Repetitive in a lot of places.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 2/4 points – Using Kamizuru bees to keep your team mates out of your genjutsu was a nice idea, as was using the genjutsu itself to stop the criminal. However, there was not a lot of description as a whole.. More over, the exact jutsu used were not mentioned, making it hard to gauge what exactly is going on.
Usage of Given information – 1/3 points – The only real information used is the location in a vague sense, and the fact that one was given team mates. However.. there was no mention of the rain, or the criminal's abilities with suiton.

Dressed entirely in black, I would begin my mission with locating the guards. By sending a few honey bees that live within my body into the mansion, the insects would tell me where a safe access point of the mansion was. Once inside. I would take advantage of the mansion’s layout. Since it was shaped like a square, I would attempt to draw all the guards to one spot away from the scroll. To do this, a large swarm of bees would exit my body and head down the hallway to my left. Waiting to hear screaming and footfall, My academy training allowed me to be unseen and unheard behind a shroud of black cloth in the shadows.

The swarm of insects would attack whoever they came across; filling their body with stingers and venom enough to make them extremely ill or even kill them. As screams of pain and surprise filled the mansion, the other guards would run to aid their attacked comrades. Once a trio of guards scampered past me, another wave of insects was sent to the same place as the first. With my bees keeping the opponents busy, my advanced hearing could detect all the guards were being kept busy with his distraction.

Quickly and silently running through a few sets of sliding doors, I would quickly retrieve the prize and make my way out the same way I came in. Sending a final wave of bees around both sides of the square, I would make my exit out the nearest window and quickly make my way back home.

Spelling/Grammar – 0/1 point – Really awkward grammar and sentence structure.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a misison.
Originality – 3/4 points – Using the bees as a distraction and attack was pretty original. However, I would have liked to see more description here, too.. As well, there were other shinobi in the mansion, and a lone genin would probably have had at least some difficulty.
Usage of Given information – 1/3 points – Well, the layout of the mansion was used to both get inside and to distract the guards. However, there was no mention of the shinobi and their abilities. I firmly believe that if their existence had been acknowledged, the mission would have become much more difficult for Shouran.

Chasing the animal to the edge of a cliff, my partners clumsily fell off the edge. Putting their safety temporarily out of my priority list, my attention needed to be focused on the mission. Quickly drawing a large bird on my scroll, I would bring the creature to life and begin to play a song on my flute. This illusion would strip any living thing in range of its will to fight or run, causing the animal to simply hold still at the edge of the cliff. Once immobilized, the bird made of ink would swoop in and rescue the target and fly it back to the village.

Quickly checking that my teammates were still alive, I would return to the village to complete the mission and then bring a medic back to the site of my partners injury to treat them properly without risking injury from moving their body.

[9/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Good on both points.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 3/4 points – Leaving one's partners to focus on the mission at hand is part of the shinobi lifestyle, so giving the animal priority was a good idea. Using sound to hold the target still, and what I'm assuming was a Li technique to fetch it and return it to the village was also good. I really, really would have liked to see more length to this.. and perhaps more description. Moreover, the techniques used really should have been listed or at least named. Otherwise, this was fine.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – All information was used, such as the animal trying to run away and the lack of team mates to help. A medic was also brought in to help the fallen team mates.

[Aaron Kamizuru] - [26/30 points | Pass]

SPOILER: Click to show

Following their Chuunin's instructions Aaron and the other genin arrived in the Rain capital together, dressed like the average Rain city citizen. What they found upon arrival would be deserted streets and multistory buildings, the citizens seeking cover from the downpour. Even used to the rain, not many people could be said to be fans of getting soaked. Aaron among them. His bees useless due to the rain, Aaron would have to be extra cautious in this upcoming battle, his fighting strength severely dampened as the team approached a public information building.

From the profile briefing and a note in the bingo book, the Chuunin had shared what he knew of the opponent before they arrived. A ninjutsu specialist who had mastered water ninjutsu and some sound ninjutsu as well as the Drunken Fist fighting style, he lacked a bloodlimit. A picture of the man showed a heavyset individual with blonde hair, a crooked nose and several known S shaped scars. The target also had a record of heavy drinking and lounging in bars and pubs. His rap sheet consisted mostly of killing random people, stealing their money for booze, getting drunk and sometimes trashing the place, usually injuring bystanders in the process. A dangerous and unpredictable foe.

Knowing the target's history brought them to the public information building. There one of the gennin managed to acquire a list of the local drinking establishments, including the roughest ones in town. The chuunin nodded in approval. The team then broke into teams of two, Aaron and the Chuunin, and the two Gennin who had more experience. Each member had communication devices to stay in touch. The purpose was to find the target without alerting him and report back.

An hour and a half later, the rain still unrelenting, the team regrouped at the final drinking establishment – The Last Man Standing Corral – unsuccessful in finding the quarry. The team entered to the odd look from several patrons who turned back to their drink. Laborers and construction workers, muscled men seemed to fill the place. The toughest pub in town, this would be the last one. About a dozen tables dotted the room while a massive bar stood against the wall lined with bottles of all sorts of drink.

The team took an open table to avoid being suspicious while the Chuunin went up to the barkeep. Aaron released a small bee, a type similar in appearance to native Rain country bees, to fly around and survey the scene. After several moments the bee returned so Aaron could interpret what the bee had seen. Three suspicious men with builds similar to the target were present. It managed to get a look at their faces before being swatted away. Aaron smirked as the Chuunin came back, nodded his head casually in the direction of a corner and planted four massive drinks on the table. The direction the Chuunin pointed held a table in the far corner where a man sat alone. It was one of the three the bee thought suspicious. Aaron shared this fact with the Chuunin. To make sure of the identity one of the Gennin used his unique gift of Tasukeru to peer through the outfit the man wore and search for the S shaped scars. Finding them he would inform the Chuunin leader. To mask his neon red eyes, the Gennin wore special glasses.

The Chuunin's bought information from the barkeep coupled with a matching face from Aaron's bee and the Onigami's eyes which spied the scars that matched the picture were enough to confirm that the man sitting by himself was the team's target. As mission instructions said Assassination, it would be best to take care of the man when he could put up the least resistance, which would be now before he noticed them. If he were to get outside into the rain where his water mastery could come into play, the battle would become a challenge and drawn out affair. The Chuunin laid out the plan and Aaron and the other Gennin would follow his lead.

It would be a simple matter to kill drunk target who had been drinking here for 3 hours now. As he seemed to be in a daze, Aaron and the other Gennin would make their way to the restroom and when they were alone, the Gennin would cast:


Selective Invisibility
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user is capable of performing Invisibility however they are capable of allowing certain others to see them if they wish.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Same drawbacks as that of Invisibility
Description: A technique where the user is capable of performing Invisibility however they are capable of allowing certain others to see them if they wish.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Invisibility

so only the team could see Aaron and the poisoned kunai borrowed from the Chuunin in his hand. He would follow his teammate out, unheard in the bustle of a busy pub and work his way toward the target. Careful to not disturb anything, Aaron would stand by his target's table and take in the situation. The silence and bobbing head a sign that the scarred man had dozed off for the moment, Aaron would give a thumbs up sign before plunging the kunai into the man's throat and drawing it across. The unprotected status of the target coupled with a surprise attack from being invisible should guarantee him a kill. By targeting the throat Aaron nullified any ability for the man to call for help.

Aaron's invisibility countered by the attack, no one would probably notice as the thumbs up was a signal for his teammates to throw flash bombs to various parts of the pub. The bright light would provide more than enough cover for the prepared team to vanish. Aaron would be shielded from the light by facing the corner as he slit the man's throat. While the customers were blinded Aaron himself, would retreat through the emergency exit about seven feet from where the target had sat. The team would regroup at a set point a block away and head back home. Mission Accomplished.

Originality – 4/4 points – Very nice. The use of the bingo book was nice touch, and definitely helped out on tracking the criminal down. The invisibility and the poisoned kunai made quick work of the target in the long run, and even though this seems like an "easy out," it was a rather well thought-out attack.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – All information was used, from the rain, the location, etc. The criminal's suiton mastery was mentioned but did not get a chance to be shown, being that they were inside and took him down before he managed to attack.

------------------------------------------

Aaron stood prepared for this mission. Before setting out, he acquired a fake scroll with the same appearance of the stolen one. However instead of a jutsu, a mocking message had been inscribed. He also made sure to purchase 5 kunai to replace his empty kunai stock and to get plenty of rest for it would be a quick grab and switch mission.

Hidden among the dense forest around the mansion, Aaron had spent hours slowly making his way around while bees stayed in place scouring all four sides of the mansion to discreetly spy on the guards. A few other bees, when the guards were away, checked windows and doors. Around 3 AM under the cloudy night sky, Aaron would make his move and recall the bees. Two guards stood watch by the front door on the north side, another two guards were each guarding a window on their respective side of the mansion while the final guard stood watch over a cellar on the south side. The cellar would be his point of entry. Rather than confront the guard and a possibly locked cellar, Aaron merely formed the seals for Underground Fish Projection from his hiding place and proceeded underground. Like he hoped, the cellar had existed before any upgrades to the mansion so the hardened earth that formed a wall was no barrier as part of Aaron's head passed through. The dark room had no light and hence no guards as Aaron pushed the rest of his way through.

From the layout he knew there would be a flight of stone steps up and a door. Aaron couldn't afford to illuminate the room so he waited a moment for his eyes to adjust and the faint crack of light from the cellar door and the hallway door to shine in. Following it carefully, Aaron felt his way along making sure there were no obstacles or noise makers in his way. A success, Aaron would quietly climb the stairs and send a few bees under the door to look for guards. None would be seen so Aaron would open the door and step onto the carpeted hallway, while sending the bees to scout further ahead.

When the bees returned Aaron would follow the path ahead, ignoring the rooms on either side of the hallway. They did not have the treasure he sought. Soon the hallway split to the left and to the right, and Aaron would head left, bees always scouting the hallways for signs of life and reporting back. Aaron passed several more rooms before pausing and forming a set of hand seals to call forth special honey bees to keep close by. If he recalled correctly an open room and a set of stairs along one side lay ahead.

A bee flew through the upcoming room and reported back stating a sword wielding man sat inside to his left. Aaron knew he may have to fight, which was why he chose a 3 to 4 AM time frame to infiltrate. Most people were not awake and guards would tend to be drowsier and less alert. Aaron would Henge into the appearance of one of the guards he had seen outside and walk into the room, signaling the honey bees to target the man's face from several directions. At his entrance a man looked up, sword at his belt with a confused look on his face. ”Why are you here?” he asked. Aaron opened his mouth and before he could say anything, the bees would close in to try and surprise the ninja. Given the ninja's attitude and time of night, it should be successful. A success would mean the guards face would be coated in honey from the exploding bees neutralizing any ability to sound an alarm and hinder his ability to breathe. Aaron would follow up with a Dynamic Entry kick while the man tried to restore his breathing facilities. The ninja would never get a chance to use his chakra detection abilities as they required constant chakra usage, and as no alarm or alert had been triggered he would not have activated his eyes lest he run out of chakra in an emergency.

Dragging the unconscious ninja back down the hallway, Aaron stuffed him into a room, took his sword and other valuables and used Henge to transform into the sword wielding ninja. With a full disguise, Aaron strolled into the big room, up the stairs to the second floor and proceeded through the blueprint he memorized. He passed two guards along his way, none stopping to question him as he was a ninja, hired by the master of the house and would have more privileges than the guards. Plus the guards were playing cards. No guards met him as he made a final turn down a hallway lined with four rooms, two on each side. One of these rooms had the scroll. He did not know what lay inside so a few bees would be sent under the door jams to spy for him. When they returned Aaron learned that three of the rooms were dark, one of which had a chest like object. The fourth room across the hallway was brightly lit and a man practiced with a giant stick inside. To avoid confrontation Aaron walked softly along the strip of carpet in the hallway and tried the dark room with a chest like object.

The unlocked door opened at his touch. Shutting it, Aaron turned on a light and saw a raised chest resting on a table in the center of the room. Walking around it, Aaron did not see anything suspicious but just in case withdrew a kunai. He tried slowly opening the chest but it was locked. Searching the room for a key he did not find one even with the bees aid in the search. Then remembering something he had heard people do before, Aaron had a bee slide under the chest. Sure enough there was a key, just like people who hid a key under a doormat at the front door.

The chest opened easily with the key and Aaron made the scroll switch. Bees once again slid under the door to check that he had the all clear as Aaron would proceed the same exact way he came blowing past the same two guards who could care less. At the stairway to the room the ninja had guarded, Aaron looked up and could see a couple guards chatting on the third floor. He proceeded down, past the hallway and back to the cellar. The tenth guard was probably down the other hallway and thus not a threat. Aaron would Underground Fish Project himself through the wall and reemerge a safe distance from the mansion. He had the scroll, a fake was in place to delay notice of the switch and only one person needed to be knocked out, though the honey blocking his nose and mouth may have suffocated him in the meantime. Mission finished.

[8/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Fine on both points.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 3/4 points – This was good. Using the bees to one's advantage certainly helped out in the long run, especially to avoid confrontation and get to the room with the scroll. My only concerns were that the key hiding the scroll was hidden under the box containing it. What with all the security measures used to protect it, it seems to me that the owner of the mansion would have been much more careful.
Usage of Given information – 2/3 points – Most of the information was used, such as the layouts, the guards, and even one of the ninja with his choice of weaponry. The second ninja wasn't mentioned at all nor come in contact with, which concerned me, even though Aaron had transformed to look like the other one.
Completion of mission – 1/1 point – Mission complete.

------------------------------------------

Apparently Aaron had been given idiots for teammates as both of them fell off a cliff. The mission was certainly important as a prestigious person had lost their pet but that failed in comparison to the life of two shinobi. Two ninja could do much more than one pet. Acting swiftly, Aaron would form the seals and in a matter of seconds send a bee to fly at the pet and explode into a tiny dot of wax. Whether successful or unsuccessful the pet would run away and Aaron would let it. He could always track it down again, the wax dot used to make tracking easier if it succeeded, once the shinobis were safe.

Immediately after the bee took off, Aaron would move a bit closer to the cliff and gauge the distance down as well as call out to the shinobi. With no answer, Aaron would assume they were severely hurt. As both had fallen from the same spot, it seemed reckless for Aaron to try and rescue them or move closer to the cliff lest he fall too. He also lacked the proper gear to get to the shinobi. As unpleasant as it would be, Aaron would have to leave his teammates for the moment and return to the village to get help from the gate guards.

At full speed, Aaron would make his way back to the village gates and request help. The village was close as the pet's owner lived in the village meaning the pet should not have had a chance to run that far from the village. Once he informed the guards of the situation, he lead the aid they provided to the spot of the accident and assisted the better experienced ninja in any way they needed. Once the shinobi were retrieved from the cliff and medical nin could treat them and take them back to the village hospital, Aaron would resume searching for the pet. It was his mission after all. He would form the tiger seal and track the pet quickly using the wax dot, careful to avoid any cliffs himself. If the wax dot would not work, Aaron would resume tracking the harder way through nature, mindful and alert to any slippery or dangerous terrain.

[8/10 points]

Spelling/Grammar – 1/1 point – Both were good.
Correct Style – 1/1 point – Written as a mission.
Originality – 3/4 points – It was very original to let the pet go after producing a way to track it, if only to help one's team mates. The fact that it was realized Aaron could not help them by himself and he got assistance was also a big change from others being able to do everything perfectly. I wish there was more detail on tracking down the pet, however, and that the mission had been shown completed in some way, whether by success or failure.
Usage of Given information – 3/3 points – This appeared to be the easiest one, as all information in the prompt was used, such as the pet running away and the falling of the team mates.
