[E] Kenji Zero - 3

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway. The size seems just big enough to walk through, as well as any companions without causing anyone to squish. Even the one with the large machine would find it just big enough for it to get through without scraping along the walls. It was as though each one was designed specifically for each person. Could this be what the person who registered all for the exam was typing in the entire time?

As the passage continued to be navigated, the lights barely lighting up the walls, floor, and ceiling, a voice would finally ring out through the area, one that was rather familiar. It was the registrar, and apparent proctor of the exams.

”Greetings to you all for participating in the exams. For passing through your doorways, you have chosen to partake in this years Chuunin Examinations. Before the exams truly begin, I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.”

”Now then. As stated before, for these exams, you will be working alone, or with whichever animal or mechanical companion you brought with you. Each of you will be watched every step of the way. In a few moments, you'll step into a larger room where you will see a few things that we will be giving you for these exams.”

After those words were said, that room started to light up before each individual. It wasn't incredibly large, but gave a bit more breathing room unlike the previous passage. In the center of the room was a table. On it held a circular disk, a black box, and a small earpiece.

”Before you lies three things. A earpiece, that will help deliver special instructions. Anything you hear over the intercom is being broadcast to all areas. But anything that pertains directly to you will be played through the earpiece. If you choose not to wear it, be cautious, for you won't hear any special instructions that could cause you to fail the exams. The disk is something you eat should you feel the exams are too much. Your testing will end and you will immediately be ejected from the testing area to go back home. The black box is a room reset. It is a one time use. If you feel that you have come across something you cannot handle, throw the box at the ground and everything else in the room will disappear. But as I said, it is a one time use. If you use it on one thing, you may find yourself against a more difficult test later on.”

A few moments of silence passed before the words started up again, as though giving the participants a chance to collect the items and place them where they want them.

”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.”

And with that, a light appeared at the end of the room, allowing each person to go through and begin their personalized experience.

[OOC: As stated in the post, each thread will be different. If you are S rank, you'll fight harder enemies than one who just got the 500 TP needed for the exams. So each examiner will be doing things differently. The name of each thread lists who will be in it, and the number is who your examiner is. There is no IIC for these threads. You can take as long as you need to when making a post as I want you all to think about it and work on the best possible post that you can. The examiners have a 3 day IIC. If the examiner has not posted in that time, PM me and I'll be sure to get another examiner to post. I will also make a note if an examiner has PMed me to tell me that they will be gone for a short period of time. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or your examiner. Let the exams begin!]

[classy=template]Upon the door closing Kenji immediately activated his gas mask, which covered the lower half of his face using a twin filter system (Containing two E class filters ). Kenji progressed through the small tunnel eventually discovering a table, with several objects placed upon it. When the voice echoed through the enclosed area Kenji listened carefully to every word the supposed examiner spoke. First he examined each individual piece of equipment inspecting it for any obvious flaws, the cogs in his mind rapidly processing as much information as his young body allowed.

Kenji was fiercely loyal to his both village and religion, so could see no logical reason to use equipment provided via a third party. There was no guarantee that this wasn't just an elaborate ploy to have the constants put an explosive device in their ear for example, so fuck this would be examiner he was going to do the exam without this bribe of equipment. Nobody did anything for free in this world, so the equipment would more than likely have some sort of metaphoric strings attached, perhaps they would ask for some information pertaining to his village for remuneration.

That combined with there being no guarantee that it was even an examiner coming across the speaker, for all he knew it could well be another contestant, the Kazeraikou he knew had the ability to possess and manipulate electronic devices (Kenji has read references books about all the bloodlines & clans) so perhaps it was some ninja’s doing, an elaborate trap to remove him from the exam. So instead of conforming to the system he decided to spin his own elaborate plan, a web of lies focused around his youthful appearance, being only a child would presumably aid him in his display as he played the role of a naïve child.

“MAN! What I look like? A charity case?” he took it [earpiece] and threw it on the ground!

“I DON’T NEED YOUR HANDOUTS!, I’M AN ADULT... YOU CAN'T BUY ME EXAMINER”, he would however store the other two pieces of equipment away in his tactical vest. Muttering a small prayer to his patron, ‘Asmodeus’.

Of course Kenji was still wearing his mask [set on normal] at the time of this event specially designed in the shape of a fox this mask covered the upper portion of his face and housed several items including a headlamp a set of sniper goggles and more importantly an advanced wireless radio if the examiner did indeed possess the skills that they claimed they had then surely they would be able to contact him through this device instead. (The goggles are outfitted with eight different types of vision; zooming [x8], Thermal, Night, X-Ray, Condition, Substance, Lie detector lenses and anti-flash lenses).

Given that he had just walked through a door of unknown proprieties and into a live combat area Kenji thought it best to once again confirm all of his equipment was still in place. Obviously his attire was exactly the same he still wore the same cloaks the first a thick black layer which was lined with the fur of animals (Grey), on back of the cloak was a large Uchiha emblem was embroidered using bright colours and would be visible for all to see depending on their line of sight. Of course he wore this over the top of his standard battle outfit so that he would be able to discard it in a moment’s notice if required.

Beneath the first cloak was a secondary cloak made from wool and dyed to give it a grey colour, both cloaks were quite long extending down to Kenji’s shins and providing ample room to preform hand seals beneath either without risk of being spotted by the naked eye. Sown into the cloak were two thin strips used to contain a variety of weaponry, with the exact same weapons two knives (One on either side of the cloak), along with a grenade on each side (Fragmentation on the left, smoke on the right), two days’ worth of trail mix and water.

Indeed Kenji could confirm that he was still wearing his tactical vest which was comprised of a series of bags and scroll holders this piece of attire held numerous items including; a compass (baseplate), a disruptor, a glass cutter and a handheld inspection tool. The battle dress uniform he wore as a base layer was again visible (a loose flowing black top with the sleeves extending halfway down the forearms and the lower hem extending down to the knee with a split on either side which extended upwards to the waist allowing for a high level of mobility. ), although it held no real items other than three pens (all black, one ball-point, two permanent thick markers). Along his forearms Kenji wore a layer of bandages, although he suffered no injury to his arms this would provide a degree of compression and allow him to attend to any future wounds via removing them to treat the target area. Over his hands was a pair of black gloves tight enough to give him the level of dexterity he would have bare handed yet avoiding the clumsy grip that was so often present with thicker woollen gloves.

Having not changed in the short period of time he still wore his battle dress uniform, the trousers [coloured the same pigment of black as the top he wore] also shared the loose slightly baggy design, bound at the half way down the shin by a layer of bandages to prevent the material from catching under foot or proving a nuisance. They like the majority of ninja attire contained an assortment of items; two tagged kunai on either side, a small hand held mirror in the right hand pocket. Strapped to his right leg was his triple pouch which held a total of six kunai, the inner most pouch contained two kunai which were fitted with a sonic emitting device, which could be activated via the removal of a small length of string.

Again Kenji was wearing the same belt as only moments ago, which contained; Thirty Hira-shuriken (fifteen of which are behind the length of the belt), five thermal capsules (stored in a speed loader), one lock picking set, one roll of ninja tape, three fifty millilitre (50ml) syringes, seven fifty millilitre (50ml) vials, five of which were filled with pre-prepared Amaran herb, the other two contained pre-prepared prince’s feather herb, a one hundred millilitre (100ml) vial which contained one dose of pre-prepared cinquefoil, a world map, five bars of flint, one blood clot pill, eighty fake exploding tags, seven senbon, an incendiary grenade, two stun grenades, four exploding tags, three flash pouches, and finally three soldier pills. The buckle itself contains a miniature camera and two-way radio.

On his back Kenji had a small tanto (30cm blade) which ran vertically up to his left shoulder. On his waist he wore a grapnel gun for quick access, and on his back was a pouch projector, which led to two small attachments on the side of his wrists. In the right chamber were three smoke pouches, with three explosive pouches in the left.

An exotic saddle strapped to the animal [Bel] to allow the rider the upmost control but also to store items; a tactical transceiver. On the back of the bird Kenji had attached a large calabash three feet in length and weighing approximately one hundred pounds filled with sand. A general purpose towel and blanket were wrapped around the centre of the gourd acting as a makeshift support for the Kenji’s back. To protect the blanket from the elements a yard of treated linen canvas was wrapped around the whole thing tethered in place to offer some resistance to the rain but still allow the sand to exit from the gourd upon command.

On top of the gourd was a large crossbow four foot in length this weapon possessed a draw weight of two hundred [and] ten pounds, fitted with a monocular scope which provided a ten times zoom, camera vision and a repeater clip. The clip contained twenty one bolts, sixteen of which were standard with the remaining five were custom made. Each possessed a mechanical blade tip, which was further enhanced with a greater fragmentation insert, the shaft was enhanced to allow the bolt greater balance when fired and finally the fletching was a type of razor blade, loaded into the clip in a pattern so that the first bolt was normal followed by an exploding tip then five normal which continued onwards in the same pattern to the end. Beside this was a small stick perfect to make a torch out of. Additional sand was contained between Takkun’s scales.

Interestingly enough Kenji had no metal on his body or that of Bel it was all replaced by slabs of G-10 laminate which had been milled to appropriate sizes and shapes, making it all lightweight, unaffected by rust, non-metallic and possessing no magnetic signature. The reason for this was obvious he was a ninja why would he want to set off alarms when passing a metal detector or against a guard who was in a bloodline which manipulated magnetic fields. As such everything was replaced right down to the grenades.

-Shield of sand is active.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

The mask of the fox would groan with static for a mere moment. Then a blast of sound would come forth like nails on a Chalkboard. "Gah. You are a real pain you know that? Making me hack your system like that. Regardless, I am your Examiner. Do me a favor and don't die, everyone always dies." the voice said. It sounded deep, like that of a man in his early twenties. He spoke clear and careful, but with a tone of attitude. Across the com-line came a rustling sounds and then the hitting of papers on something solid. Then came the man clearing his throat.

"Welcome to the exams and I want you to understand that there are some rules that you need to follow. Number one, don't be a total jackass. Number two, enjoy yourself you only live once and that maybe coming to an end rather soon anyhow. Number three, rules are not to be broken unless. Number four, friends come first. Number five, I will not lie to you, I do lie." and with that the man would grow silent. Then a metal on metal sound could be heard through the com-link. As the sound came to a sudden sharp pitch, a door would light up and stand before you. Two lions adorned the sides of the door. Sitting in a guardian style and made out of Gold and Silver. On the center was a combination lock that has three small lions head above it.

To open the lock you must first get the code. To get the code you must approach the lions. The third lion will only be revealed upon getting the correct codes from the first two lions. You may approach each of the lions, and if you accept the challenge they pose, begin their challenge. Once passing each challenge the combination will be revealed. The third lion is the hardest, so please do try your very best. the man said in a lack-luster voice. Then the com-link went silent and the ninja was now alone in thought. Which lion will you choose? The silver or the gold?

[classy=template]Kenji listened to the examiner spout his useless information, when doing this he tried his best to match the audio information with the visual stimulus he was given. Two lions, how boring. Kenji gave Bel a light tap with his foot indicating that the bird should move forward which they did, moving to the silver lion first.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

The bird would land on the lions head. Out from the lion would come a mighty roar and then it's mouth would prop open. From the mouth of the silver lion a silver covered scroll dropped from its' mouth. It would be at this time that you would see a simple place for what seemed like four paw prints before the lion. You would then hear a loud noise behind you and another door appeared, as if by magic. The door opened and a portal was held inside the doorway. Turning your attention back to the scroll you would see that it had unlocked and opened itself up. The scroll open would now read in bright and beautiful silver ink:

"Silver is the best color. We lions are fiercely loyal to those of our pride. Go find me my silver cub. Place it before me.

The intercom would come back to life and here the man would speak. "Go through the door. The portal will take you to the place were the lions cub is being held. Retrieve the cub, and place it before the lion. The number to the lock will be revealed. If you cannot do this simple task, the you are not fit for Chuunin." the man would say and the intercom would click off once again. The task was clear and the goal was set. Your companion was unharmed, and seemed as if it could join you on this adventure. How will you go about your task?

[Deleted]

[classy=template]Kenji understood his task, so took off though the door on his bird. Using his X-Ray vision to check for traps on the way.[/classy][newclass=Template]Font-family: Times; Padding-left: 80px; Padding-right: 80px; Padding-top: 12px; Padding-bottom: 12px; Text-align: Justify[/newclass][newclass=Template i]Opacity: 0.7; Text-decoration: None; Font-weight: Bold;[/newclass]

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As you entered the portal, you would be transported across time and space. The place you were transported to was a hole in the ground, literally. This cave was large and very vast. It was very deep and if you screamed the echo would go on for days it seemed. If you looked around you would see two path ways, one leading to right and the other the left. In the middle laid a sign it read as such:

"What matters the most in the heart lies to the left. What matters to duty lies to the right."[/b] What will you do? Follow your Heart or your sense of Duty?

[Deleted]

[classy=template]Kenji had apparently arrived in some form of a cave this was either some kind of illusionary technique or a very high levelled skill to simply make one teleport from one location to another. Upon inspection of the surrounding area he saw a sign quite the ironic twist as one was presumably meant to trust the information displayed on it despite the fact the examiner had already stated he lied. Either way Kenji didn’t express this option for the time being he decided to go along with this simple game.

On closer inspection the young boy discovered the following text ‘What matters the most in the heart lies to the left. What matters to duty lies to the right’ Of course he used his vision types of his mask to scan for any additional information perhaps some hidden text in a form of invisible ink but assuming he didn’t find anything of the sort he would start to head to the right. Was this even a question he was after all a ninja, a tool of his kage. What good ever came from relying on one’s ‘heart’ it was of course just a reference to emotions caused by a chemical reaction in the body, a ninja was meant to look past this simplistic notation and instead do his duty to his village. This calculating and somewhat cold view of life was the kind of resolve which would have led Kenji to sooner abandon a captured ally than risk failing the mission’s over all objectives.

Of course this all assumed that the sign was indeed placed by either the examiner as tool to assist the young ninja and not to trick him into going the incorrect direction, or of course by who ever held the lion captive after all they surely wouldn’t desire a ninja heading directly to their location such a thing would be highly illogical. Pondering this notation for a moment Kenji surmised that such a layer of trickery would be far too complex for a lowly genin to think of perhaps it would be more suited to a jōnin exam indeed if one was to account for all the possible variables it would simply detract from the question being asked, and turn the results into a fifty-fifty chanced.

At the same time he also surmised that the lion he was seeking could possibly be at the end of both tunnels, what was this madness? Kenji suspected that the situation could well be reminiscent of Schrödinger's cat the examination board had already displayed clear signs of space time manipulation so it was very feasible to assume that there was indeed a lion at the end of each pat. As a result the sign itself was the lynch pin of this part of the test, this wasn’t a test to find the lion’s tunnel but was more to see which choice he would make his own feelings or the orders of a superior, a common situation which ninja’s were placed in almost every day. From this highly logical point of view Kenji surmised that he should take the path to the right, not only because it was in his mind the more desirable trait in a chūnin but also because it was his own view. Of course just like a math test there was no point in simply writing down the final answer, so Kenji instead informed the examiner of his reasoning and how he reached his conclusion via the microphone located within his mask.

For obvious reasons the young boy and his animals methodically searched the area, doing so in a very diligence manner to ensure they didn’t set off succumb to any possible traps as they advanced. The search process was aided by the use of Kenji’s X-ray vision and the beam of light his mask produced.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As you went down the right path you would see something in the center of the tunnel. There was a man standing in the center of the room. There he held a sword and on top of his head was a headband with a scratch through it. The headband of the Hidden Grass village. He stood there in the center of the room, staring down the path. He seemed to know that you were there, his blade was already drawn, he cracked his neck. This man was unknown, his hand on the blade, was the only one being shown. He had another sword on his hip and one on his back. He smiled and then laughed. He jumped back and it seemed he was challenging you to enter the room. What would you do? The room was what looked like thirty meters across and he was on the back end. This challenged seemed to be one that you could refuse, but could looks be deceiving you? Had you chosen wrong? Only time would tell you that answer.

[Deleted]

[classy=template]It wasn’t long before Kenji was met with yet another crossroads, of course this was only metaphorically speaking but never the less it appeared that he was being tested once more. Kenji was obviously obligated as a ninja of the hidden grass village to try and detain or at the very least the finding of a missing shinobi to his superiors. This was basic knowledge even children in the academy where made painfully aware of the potential risks rogue ninjas could cause, as a result Kenji saw no real reason for this to be tested in the exam. Now the young man in question was obviously here for a reason, Kenji didn’t believe for a moment that this was pure coincidence. No it was far more likely to be an orchestrated set of events, but of course this raised the question what was this segment of the examination really testing?

The first thing Kenji considered were the grounds on which the new party was being considered a missing ninja, the most significant of which was the fact that he had in his possession a headband with the grass emblem scored out. This procedure was very common with rogue ninja’s acting to symbolise this freedom from the village, as interesting as it was piece of information was it wouldn’t be adequate to prove the man was indeed a missing ninja. The head band in the man’s possession could be like this for a number of reasons, as with everything it was important to keep a clear and open mind to ensure you didn’t jump to arbitrary conjecture. The emblem could have simply been damaged by an opponent, an undercover ninja etc. Obviously the more facts Kenji could gather the better so his preliminary search of the area with the vision types of his mask would have granted him several pieces of information.^[1]

Kenji of course took note of the weaponry the potential enemy possessed; three swords the first on his hip was approximately twenty one inches, the second on his back had a length of thirty inches and finally the blade in his hand. The actions the man took seemed rather contradictory to his appearance, why would a swordsman run away surely he would want to be up close and personal with Kenji? To flee at the sight of a child, obvious there must be reason to do so a trap? Kenji of course consulted his knowledge of the b.i.n.g.o book as there were an extremely small number of rogue ninjas from all the countries never mind from his own village Kenji would most likely know if this ninja was a wanted felon.

Lifting up his crossbow and aiming it directly at the enemy, Kenji posed the question directly to the man “Are you a rogue ninja?” If the man didn’t respond within the next two seconds with the truth, or made an attempt to make any form of movement Kenji would discharge three bolts in rapid succession. The first aimed just below the sternum, the next two being shot reactively taking into account the man’s movements to target the same section of the body. Due to Kenji’s expert level skill with a crossbow and the extreme speed that the bolt would travel (three hundred [and] thirty two meters per a second) it was highly unlikely that the party in question would be able to evade all of the attacks.

Suddenly, above everything, a voice rang out, no matter where each participant was. It was the person who was in the main room and registered them for the exams.

"Attention, Participants. Hanabi of Mist committed suicide and has since been removed from the exams. Katsu Kazeraikou of Cloud has used his disk to remove himself from the exams. That is all."

And with that, silence came from over the intercom. It was clear that he made a point to let everyone know how the others were doing.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As the ninja would bring his weapon to bear, the daring move had trigger the Ronin into action. The man of course would not know this until after the bolt had loosed and flew threw the air towards the intended target. The man's after image would stay there. The ninja's bolt would slam hard into the after image, and further more into the very wall behind. Before this would take place, and whilst all eyes were on the man's after image. The man would quickly move, not once, but three times. The movements happening within one another. The lighting of this cavern was oh so great for this.

The shadow play was used against the intruder, true enough the bow was fast, the mind is somewhat faster. This experienced foe had moved twenty meters by the time the bolt was shot. Then another to position himself directly behind you. Closing the gap of thirty meters in mere moments. Basic ninja skills would show him knowledgeable on some level. It was his use that far out did that of what most people would do. He had moved at first ten meters straight, but at an angle from his previous position. It would be then, before the sight of him could be caught that he would move again positioning himself once more ten feet closer to you, this time in a direct line from his previous position. At that time another transplanting would move him ten meters, but this time upon the wall with no sound.

Kunai out the blade would come down upon the man, only aiming for his shoulder in which he held his weapon. Taking out the arm was the simplest thing to perform. It would be at this time that the hunter would be revealed. Such a high speed combat would only happen within moments. He had moved this distance with mere moments and a simple skill. Making him go any further might be a little dangerous.

Kokoromanako (Mind's Eye)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: By fighting on and on, a user becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the user becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the User is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

Just then, over the intercom, the voice of the main examiner spoke out once more.

"Attention participants. Axel Inuzuka of Waterfall, Rosalie Salt of Waterfall, and Raika Hebiarashi of Cloud have all forfeited their exam. Umei Maki of Sound has committed suicide. And..."

But before the thought could be finished, the sound of an explosion was heard.

"What are you doing?! You are contaminating my experiments!" Yelled the registrar. But what followed next was the sound of flames and his screams as he was burned alive. Silence followed the screams for a short time before everything around each and every participant disappeared, leaving them in darkness.

"We wondered where you had all been directed. My name is Mai Turino, and I am the actual Chuunin Exam Proctor. For those who are still here, my sincerest apologies for the miscommunication. The Land of Frost was not the destination of the exams, and when no one arrived, we knew something was wrong. Bear with me one moment, and I'll bring you back to the main room." Said a woman's voice.

A few silent moments passed before the darkness turned to light, and everyone found themselves in the main room, without the items given to them at the start of the exam, and completely unharmed.

[You may now post your exit here and your entrance into the registration room again. IIC enabled. 3 days until I make my next post, or until everyone has posted. Examiners, you have your PMs that I should be getting back from you. Time to move the exams to the next stage.]

[classy=template]Such foolishness, was Kenji to truly believe that this man had not only the skill but the nerve to ‘escape’ from the confinements of the grass village, and elude the all-powerful ANBU hunters? The mere notion was absurd to say the least, Kenji could see the enemy almost overcome even before the ‘fight’ had begun, already been enslaved by the chains of fear.

The first move of his opponent came as no real surprise to the young boy, after all he had allowed ample opportunity for his opponent to evade, but of course this was all part of his calculated plan it forced his enemy to move and which such a degree of fear running through his body it was obvious what he would do next. It left only two clear options flee or engage in combat. Judging by the obscene amount of swords the ninja was equip with it easy to surmise that he would attempt to close the distance to attack in close range, but of course this naïve notion wouldn’t work against a ninja like Kenji. The back of the neck was the most likely target of the enemy’s assault, why? Because of the fear clouding the man’s judgement it was almost impossible for him to think logically and thus he would strike at the most obvious place on Kenji’s body. Having read enough action manga and novels Kenji was all too aware of this and as such always had a defence for this area of his body.

With his snake turning to cover Kenji’s back, the young boy would immediately drop the crossbow allowing the sling around it to hold it in place around his mid-section as his hands darted within his cape creating a pattern of hand seals in preparation of the oncoming attack. Almost as if he was a prophet the attack he foretold of came to fruition, but even Kenji didn’t anticipate the stupidity of the enemy ninja. Apparently the fact that Kenji was riding upon a large bird had totally slipped his mind, and as a result to strike at his targeted area the man would in fact jump through the air. This sort of attack by its very natural discarded almost all form of defence due to the difficulty of changing your direction in mid-air, thus as the man flew towards Kenji he would not only be identified by the snake (which in turn informed Kenji via a contraction of its tail around his arm) but also leave him wide open to the technique which Kenji unleashed. The swarm of shadows cast by not only the environment but Kenji and his bird would converge around the enemy. Due to his skill with the technique the shadows could move at around twenty meters per a second as a result they would cover the half a meter distance in but a blink of an eye, capturing the rogue ninja if all went according to plan.

It would be at this moment with his enemy immobilized that the snake would lash out striking the enemy ninja at the carotid artery spewing its deadly venom into his veins before coiling around the neck as tight as it possibly could. If by some chance turn of events the ninja had been savvy enough to throw his weapon in mid-air in an attempt to harm Kenji, the shield of sand would present itself not only blocking the weaponry but adding to the surface area of the shadow and if anything speeding up the rate shadows speed.

It was at this time that the sound of a female rung across all of the cave informing everyone about the situation which had been unfolding and as a result Kenji would find himself teleporting from the area.[/classy][newclass=Template]Font-family: Times; Padding-left: 80px; Padding-right: 80px; Padding-top: 12px; Padding-bottom: 12px; Text-align: Justify[/newclass][newclass=Template i]Opacity: 0.7; Text-decoration: None; Font-weight: Bold;[/newclass]
