After travelling for a little while and stopping off at his house on the way to equip his gear, Walter had arrived at his destination. What was described in the mission statement was exactly what he imagined an old has-been's house would look like. Though calling this a house was an extremely loose term, it was closer to resembling a haunted wooden shack, the cracks and splinters were tell-tale signs of termites or something similar.

Adjusting the gas mask that hung tightly around his neck, Walter enjoyed the fact that it make him look like he had two heads stacked upon each other. Quickly patting down his battle vest to make sure the front pockets were lined with his Grenades/Pouches, his chest area with Kunai, and his inner pockets with cigarettes, Walter reached inside and pulled out a stick. Finally grabbing his Butt-Bag, he produced one of several lighters stashed away and proceeded to light up. The rush of smoke always made him feel ecstatic. He wasn't opposed to waiting, in fact he could be quite patient, especially when the opportunity to draw blood would be turning up any minute for now.

I wonder where that other kid is?;

[Kei]

Before heading off in the right direction to get the mission underway, Kei made one quick pit stop at his house. Hurrying Into his room he quickly got dressed throwing on his favorite blue letterman jacket, but left it unbuttoned revealing the plan white t-shirt underneath. Tan cargo shorts covered his lower half and nearly looked like pants on him. He didn’t mind. In the back of his mind though he thought Walter may have been right when he said the boy needed to dress better. However now wasn’t the time to worry about his appearance. Covering most of his face was his favorite orange bandanna leaving only his bright green eyes visible.

With his Katana on his back and four smoke and stun grenades attached to his waist the boy hurried off. Luckily the location wasn’t far from his street. When he arrived he wasn’t surprised to see that Walter had been waiting for him. “Sorry to keep you waiting.” Kei apologized. Running the whole here got his blood flowing, and something about the creepy house in front of him kick started his adrenaline. A mix of emotions stirred in Kei the longer he stared at the cabin in the woods. In his academy days he heard rumors about this place being haunting, and wisely kept his distance. But now here he was standing basically in its back yard. This gave him the chills.


Trying to keep his attention anywhere but on that cabin, Kei turned to Walter. “Any sign of the jounin?” He asked as he looked over his shoulder. There were no signs of anyone else out here but them. Not even any animals could be seen, or heard which was rather odd. Then it hit him. “If this is supposed to simulate a real battle…” Kei paused mid-sentence to gather his thoughts. “What if he is waiting to ambush us.” Even though it was unlikely Kei didn’t want to be caught off guard and drew his Katana. Now they play the waiting game to find out what follows.

Once the the two gentlemen arrived on scene, the Jounin's house seemed to creak further as an old man exited from the darkened shack. His appearance was well worn, yet his body appeared well muscled and promptly looked after. The Jounin vest would be the first thing the two boys would notice followed by the pair of black pants and dark green cap shielding piercing, light blue eyes. “Ah, so there are only two of you,” his voice was gruff, yet extremely authoritative, his gaze slicing the two boys in half.

Surrounding the shack was a large forest, trees and bushes loomed over the duo and building. This was evident that the forest was going to be the base setting of the exercise. But once the silence was pierced again by the gruff sound of the Jounin's voice as he regarded the small two-man team. “Very well then. The name is Eli, and today your task is to find and locate me by any means necessary.” Eli said sternly, deciding to enter the battle the moment everyone arrived.

His attention shifted between each boy carefully, analyzing each and every detail of their attire and weapons before speaking one final time: “This exercise is non-lethal. So no body dies here. You may begin when you're ready.” And with that, he disappeared with a simple puff of smoke.

A small vein began to throb in Walter's head as the task for today was revealed. He had assumed that they would be fighting, but instead they were put on a tracking mission... of which he had no ability to do so. It made him slightly angry and disappointed in himself, it would mean that when he finished up here, he would need to find some way to help him in that field. He thought about suggesting looking for clues in nature, but the possibilities of traps was always present. Attempting to calm himself, Walter decided to see what they had to work with first;

"Ah well, the only way to succeed sometimes is to... rely... on.. o-"

Walter couldn't bring himself to finish that sentence. Turning his head towards Kei, he began to attach his Gauntlets to his fists, both were scary-looking Cestus. His face had morphed into a comical fusion of anger and disbelief, Walter brought himself closer to Kei and spoke;

"....Tell me about your abilities, specifically anything, ANYTHING, that could be used to find this asshole"

This came out as a command, sadly. The vein in his temple threatened to burst.

[Kei]

The silent hold around the forest was broken with a quiet creak. Kei picked up the sound right away, and his full attention turned to the creepy all cabin again. At the sight of the door slowly opening, his green eyes grew wide, and he was on the verge of yelling “Ghost,” at the top of his lungs. Thankfully he held his tongue. His hold on the hilt of the blade tightened causing his knuckles to turn white. He had to be prepared for anything, but at the sight of the jounin causally approaching he loosened his guard. Not even the blade could block against the rough looking man s gaze.

Kei listened closely to the small briefing. Once he heard the word locate he frowned slightly. He was hoping to get to a glimpse of his sword skills in combat. However, he defiantly needs to polish his locating ability. He had zero experience, and just hoped he could wing this. His partner didn’t seem to take the news well either. Bummed out, Kei returned his katana to each sheath. Right at that moment Eli vanished in a puff of smoke leaving the two inexperienced genin alone in the woods.

Behind him Kei swore he heard a twig crack; which was odd because he was yet to hear any animals around. But before he could speak up Walter started speaking. “Each other,” Kei finished off his partners sentence. Kei was a little thrown off at Walter who was putting on his gauntlets since this was non-lethal. Things got even weirder as his partners face morphed into that of a mad mans, and got closer to him. Not even ten seconds into the mission and Walter was already throwing out orders. “Hey man, chill.” Was all Kei said as looked at Walter with a relaxed smile.

“As for my abilities,” He paused to think.” I have nothing that could help us.” He said looking down at the ground. “I’m a Nara who happens to be talented with blades. “ Kei continued to talk. “Oh, and I heard a twig or something crack behind us. Not much to go on, I know, but better then standing here.” Kei shrugged at the end of his sentence and turned to walk in that direction hoping Walter would follow, or came up with a better lead.

[Natsy]

After the brief introductions shared between the two genin, at the sound of the twig breaking, one might seem that it was the logical choice. So if the two gentlemen decided to head in that direction, this would be entering the forest and being welcomed into a dark, musky environment. The ground surrounding you would be somewhat damp and appear loose to the point when it gave off a swamp – like appearance. So stepping should be calculated before done.

Shadows danced around the forest, moving as fast as that of a animal or human but never being able to properly determine. However, the distance would roughly be around 10m. The area around where the twig was supposedly located, would appear tampered with, indicating that Eli was indeed nearby. The shadows within the 10m distance would continue to jump around the duo. Should the two gentlemen investigate the tracks near the broken twig, a small trigger would release and a small gust of small projectile weapons would suddenly shoot in your direction from the right.

Thirty slots worth of Hira-Shuirken and Kunai are within the gust so a lot of damage can be made should neither of you dodge the attack. However, if you do, you will find that Eli would appear to the right of Kei, moving forward in an simple punch toward the head before heading toward Walter attempting to slam his fist into the young man's side. Something up close and personal, before Eli quickly shunshined back into the distance.

  Rank: "D"
  Skill: TaiJutsu
  Effect: A simple straight punch.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: Starting Position Left-Leg-forward fighting stance. Driving with your legs and keeping your elbow down as long as possible, extend your left fist forward. As your hand travels out, rotate your shoulder and hip forward to add power. Make contact with the first two knuckles of your fist, rotating your fist about 45° to add power. Be sure your wrist is straight. The punch should penetrate the target, not just touch the surface. At the movement of impact, weight should be in the punch. Recoil quickly bringing your hand back to starting position. Tips Tuck your chin to your chest to protect your jaw. Roll the shoulder on the punching side up to protect your jaw. The basic principle of movement while in a fighting stance is to start with the forward foot while pushing off with the rear foot, then close the step so you end up in the original stance.

  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: Hammerfist to the side may be practiced from a fighting stance or a passive stance. Because it is often used in reaction to a surprise attack, we generally present the strike from a passive stance first. Starting Position Passive Stance. Move your left hand sideways and upward, elbow slightly bent. As your hand moves toward its target, rotate your hip and shoulder. Tuck your chin. Your rising arm should cover you as well as strike. Pivot your outside foot and step in toward your target to make sure weight is being transferred into the punch. Tips Add torque by rotating the fist: at the beginning of the punch, the back of the hand faces the target. Just before contact, rotate the meaty part of your hand out to make contact. As with all punches, you should recoil after striking. Depending on the user's class depends on the strength of the attack.
