 * HitomiHyuga "Find Mrs. Kyto's cat... No, that persian tried to eat Meeko last time. Deliver groceries to Master Kenjon... he kinda scared me so no. Hnnm. There has to be something here that I can do that will help me get stronger..." The white glossed eyes looked over the message board. One paper after another was hung there and her eyes had looked to them all. She was rather disappointed at her performence when it came to her madatory match against her brother. Though, there was a part of that day that was worth it, she knew she needed to get stronger. "Weeding the garden for Mr. Cho... Picking up papers infront of the school.. cleaning the outside of the library.." She sighed softly and pressed her lips together while she sat there braiding her long onyx hair while trying not to braid in Meeko's tail. "None of these will help me.. " Just when she was about to give up, she noticed a page that held the seal of the Hokage. Her slender fingers lifted up the page and she read over the print. "Masked rogues...?" She gasped. "These are the guys from the other day!" She said to no one but herself. She thought about the idea of it and how the last time, she had hurt someone even when trying to help. The inner struggle was aparent on her face and her body reacted to it. Moving away from the board and then coming back to it. Going on like this for a few more minues before she clenched her fists and with a determined look, placed her name on the page. "I have to get stronger..." She said to herself once more. A satisfied look came over her face while she backed away. "I wonder who else I'll be going with?"

A satisfied look came over her face while she backed away. "I wonder who else I'll be going with?"

Making her way back to the compound, she had taken her shoes off and went into her room. For the first time in a long time, she opened the door to Meeko's cage and placed him in. "I can't have you getting into trouble while I'm doing this. Be good. I'll be home soon." The door closed with a click sound and she then slid the lock into place. It almost broke her heart to see him locked in his cage after him being near her for so long. But she didn't want to risk him getting hurt. Her left hand then went into her side pouch and her first aid kit was taken out. Placing it on the table, she went through it all and replaced the things she had used out of it. She took the bandage from her shoulder and looked to the gauze then to the wound. There was no signs of infection on either and it made her smile. Once more she cleaned the area with alcohol and placed a healing ointment on a new bandage before she placed it back on her shoulder. Her shoulder was still a bit sore from her match against her brother but it had mended nicely. Her own training was truly beginning to pay off. Once she was satisfied with the kit being filled, she closed it up and put it back into her side pouch.

Her pink long sleeve top was paired up with black leggings and over the pink top was a layer of black fishnet that covered the sleeves and over her chest. Her hair up in a high ponytail that was loosely braided to the end. Her steps led her out of her room to the sound of Meeko scratching at the metal bars of his cage trying to get out. "No Meeko. You stay here." She said as she held onto the door jam to her room. Then out of the room she went. It was odd for her to go anywhere with out him and she felt weird for it. But she would have to be on her own some day. She had to start seeing things on her own while they were easy to see. Walking down the hall, she still heard the scratching of his nails against the bars. But she ignored it and put her sandals back on as she reached the door. Then walking outside, she looked about a bit and thought to herself,'where am I supposed to meet these people?' 16:23, March 18, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi It was another beautiful day in the land of Fire, the sun had just reached it peak when Dante Hyuga was leaving the Compound of the Hyuga clan. His attire as always a white baggy tunic tied above his elbows with a piece of twine which met from either shoulder and tied in a knot behind his back to keep everything in place, both legs bandaged upto and over his hips only to be covered up above the knee by a pale purple kiln which the tunic tucked into. At the base of his lower back a ninja pouch which kept the tools he liked to carry: 3 Kunai, 6 Shuriken, 2 paper bombs and a scattering of Makibishi (10 in total) with a little piece of wire just incase. His perfectly straight onyx hair fell just below the nape of his neck and was kept from his face by the forehead protector of the with the symbol of the hidden leaf on it; two clumps of straight hair fell over either side of the headband framing his face perfectly. Housing his feet a pair of rubber open toed shinobi styled boots zipped at the side to fit perfectly as how he wanted them, his skin complexion was flawless and his face emotionless, his eyes didn’t help either those glossy white eyes, which seemed to be pupilless.

As he walked through the village, making his way towards the front gate, people would often stop to look at the Hyuga as they did seem strange to others, some people were familiar with him though, waving and smiling as he passed by. Stopping at a few places in the village to restock on some of the recently used weapons he then made his way to the front gate, more precise the mission board by the front gate. His training had gone well the past couple of weeks and he believed himself ready to take on more of a challenge, as he browsed the selection of missions which seemed to be scattered all over the board his eyes caught one, It was a B rank mission. As he read over the poster, reading the details of it he quickly took it towards the desk which monitored who came and went from the village, placing it down upon the desk looking at the guard. “Could you please inform me of who is currently on this mission or if it has already been underway?” The guards seemed to look few a section of papers only to inform him the mission hadn’t been done yet, but there might be people coming to help since the Genin couldn’t really handle a B rank mission on his own, or so the village standards would believe.

 The Hyuga child would take a set by the front gate, awaiting anybody else who would be interested in this mission, his back against the bench he was sat on, one leg resting over the other crossed, arms folded in front of his chest thinking to himself. -Could this be the person the Samurai was talking about in the forest that day?- If it was Dante would welcome any help as the Samurai himself was pretty strong but appeared to speak like the Shinobi who fled was stronger. 16:48, March 18, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 “Oh, crap!” cursed the voice of a child, stumbling and staggering was heard in place of further curses, shifting about the room was that of a child with blonde hair and golden eyes, he had awoken later than he would’ve liked, expressed by the groan that would follow whilst dashing about his room. The child hurriedly preparing his training attire, the sun had already risen and the child would have seemingly missed his morning training routine, though following the night of a rather disappointing spar, there was little opportunity for the child to get any rest at all. Quickly, the boy dons his usual training attire with the black vest; clan symbol riddling the back, beneath the vest the boy wore a white shirt.

From the waist down, the child had worn black shorts which would end just beneath the knees and sneakers upon his feet unlike the majority of his peers he found this assortment of clothing most comfortable to move about in. The child then began strapping his pouches in their allocated locations, the 2 behind the child’s belt, 1 along the left leg of his shorts and the final pouch strapped to the right sleeve of the short sleeved white shirt.

Though staring out towards the street the child hung his head as it seemed quite busy with a variety of people, noticing  a familiar female Genin run past, the boy concluded that she was returning home for some reason, stepping down to the living room, the child passes a wave to his parents and bowed his head.

“Heading out now, don’t wait for me!” the child called aloud before casting his door open and dashing forth toward the front gate, though on his way to the training grounds, his eyes fell upon a familiar white eyed Genin, smirking somewhat he looks about himself before reaching for nearby pebble. The boy would then lob the pebble toward the head if the Genin, whether it would hit or not, the child would find himself chuckling before waving towards the boy by the gate.

“Yo, Dante, what you doing?”

 * HokageSenju “Ohayooo Hitomi-chan!”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The friendly voice of Zeshin would greet out to her just as she left the compound. A hand up against the back of his head leaned on one leg and tapped his forefoot on the ground behind the supporting leg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I hear you put your name up and I was meaning to catch you at home, but it seems I was a bit sluggish. Comes with the old age I guess.” Laughed the 19 year old as he motioned for her to follow and walked over to the mission board. “Let’s see if we have any other gutsy adventurers to join us before we find a very special someone to help us today.”

<p class="MsoNormal">As they walked, Zeshin double-checked his right pocket and smiled re-assured when his fingers pressed into the short cylindrical object that was a scroll containing a coat which would prove most important today.

<p class="MsoNormal">It didn’t take too long before they reached Dante and Ryouta, both of whom Zeshin greeted with a hearty laugh and wave before walking over to them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Allright. The four of us it is! For today you’ll be known as Team Supreme Mean Finale Maximum Blitz 9000! TSMFMB9k LETS GO!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Still chuckling, both hands clasped behind his rear, and leaning back like a goof, Zeshin ran off. And he ran off fast. His current position allowing him to look at them as he took off, sticking his tongue out in playful defiance. “Lets see if you can catch up, follow !.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">And off he went, bouncing from roof to roof before scaling down the village wall and jumping off the other side rather than passing through the same old gate again. His feet lightly touched the grass and, woosh, he took off again; leaping from branch to branch as they set out through the forest and headed west under the suspicious eye of a owl that just tilted its head along with them; going a full 180 like wtf is up now? (Zeshin is moving at 2.5 speed.)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Before we leave. We need a unique individual to accompany us! Are you ready TEAM SUPREME MEAN FINALE MAXIMUM BLITZ 9000!!?!?!” Edited by HokageSenju 21:47, March 18, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi heard the friendly voice and knew who it was. Her eyes lit up as she looked up and saw Zeshin leaning up against the wall. She stood on her tip toes and her smile beamed as she waved as tall as she could to him. “Zeshin!” The Hyuuga child just about bounced all the way towards him and looked up with a smile. Her white eyes gleaming with her head tilted back a bit to look at him. “I did. I have come to the conclusion that I need to get stronger and…” She kind looked about a bit and then back up to him. “…perhaps not be so afraid...”

<p class="MsoNormal">Following next to him, she smiled as he told her of the special someone that they had to go find. It was exciting and it showed up into her facial expressions.

<p class="MsoNormal">Rounding the corner, her breath came up into her throat as she saw the other two figures that were standing there. The boy that she had hurt the last time she had tried to help him and her big brother, Dante. Taking her bottom lip in her teeth, she looked to the both of them and waved softly. In the back of her mind, she was waiting for Dante to tell her to go home.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, her anxiety began to calm down a bit while she continued to listen to Zeshin. Looking up to him, she couldn’t help but smile.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then came the challenge. Once more, she had to keep up. Knowing how fast the others were, she closed her eyes a moment and took a deep breath before her eyes were focused on Zeshin. She wouldn’t lose him this time. Not for a second time. She may be the slowest in the group, but she wouldn’t give up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Taking off, she dashed from where she was before leaping on to the roof tops. Using her light frame to her advantage, the gaps that were too large for her to get across, she’d grab a hold of the laundry lines that went between the houses and use those to launch her to the other side. Seeing that she was lagging behind, the look of determination crossed her face as she put in her all to try and keep up. She scaled down the wall and once more took off. While Zeshin had taken to the trees, she ran as fast as she could before leapping up into the trees and using the smaller trees to help push herself forward. This time, she would not be left behind. 22:17, March 18, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">His hand reaching to catch the stone which had been tossed/aimed at him, his fingers wrapping around it as if to prepare for a counter attack, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the person who threw it, he sighed slightly as he noticed who it was. Standing to his feet he slowly approached the boy “I’m looking for someone to attend this mission with, I doubt you’d be of any help but you’re welcome to join if you like” Dante spoke in a calmed collect manor, dropping the stone he had cught upon the ground, turning to look towards the gate as if he was about to leave before for some unknown reason turning back to see Zeshin’s smiling face, his teeth instantly started to grind together as he seen Hitomi standing behind him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">He wouldn’t react to her in words but instead just stare for a sec as Zeshin spoke, what were the chances of Dante wanting to accept the same mission as Zeshin it must have been fate.. Although Dante didn’t know if he could put up with Zeshin’s happy go lucky attitude for an entire mission. “Team… supre..” Not even bothering to finish the name of the team Zeshin gave them, he just sighed letting him go on with it. Upon the let’s go command as Zeshin taunted with his remark about being able to keep up, or atleast thats how Dante took it, he quickly turned towards the front gate as Zeshin took off to the roof tops. Dante took the approach of running out the gates only to see Zeshin land on the grass somewhat next to it, following his moments he started running towards the forest, dante was close to full speed there was no way he’d let the Jonin get away from him, running in way that they’d both meet up in the forest not caring if the Genin which was talking to him before kept or up not. While Zeshin was jumping branch to branch Dante chose to run along the forest floor, in an attempt to just run flat out to keep the group in vision at all time. 22:32, March 18, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Ryouta glares at the black haired Genin as he felt insulted at the remark yet recalled that in the mission they had both participated in prior, he offered no help whatsoever during their battle with the samurai, scratching at the back of his head all he had to offer was a nervous chuckle before nodding towards the proposition to join. Upon the familiar voice of a blonde Jounin, the boy turned to meet the one Jounin he aspired to be, the fastest among the village and the child’s visage was decorated with a smirk, he then looks towards the female Genin who had offered a light wave and reciprocated the action before turning away from them both, staring at the gate.

<p class="MsoNormal">The child’s mind would appear to be elsewhere as the blonde continued his ridiculous rant about the four of them and their team name. ‘Let’s get out alive’ the boy thought to himself, communicating his thoughts to the only one who could hear them before returning to the group, his ears perk up and a grin replacing the minor smirk as he heard somewhat of a challenge and although he couldn’t follow the Jounin who scaled the wall, he dashed to meet both him and the others just outside the gate.

<p class="MsoNormal">The child still grinning rolls his shoulder backwards before breaking into a dash of the maximum speed he could reach ‘I won’t lose!’ the child thought to himself as he joined Dante across the mad dash through the forest floor, though pulling ahead, though not by much, Ryouta had the intention to at least showcase the speed he was proud of. Now spearheading the group the child found himself pondering where it was he was headed before he slowed down to match the speed Zeshin seemed to be travelling at as he moved between the trees.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">He stared back and then slowed down enough to run alongside Dante, the excited smile of the child remained as he couldn’t wait for what the mission would hold for him. Edited by ThisIsBullshit2015 23:07, March 18, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">After a good five minutes of running (between 2 and 2.5 speed so everyone could keep up, Zeshin not being that much of a Dick.) the Jounin jumped down onto a sandy path that seemingly began in the middle of nowhere. But as they’d walk across the narrow path between both trees and bushes,  dodging some overgrowing roots here and there,  they’d start to see bits and pieces of a house in the distance that was hard to make out because of the forests density.

<p class="MsoNormal">As they came closer, they’d see what looked like a cozy wooden house. A plume of smoke came from the chimney and helped spread the scent of grilled beef throughout the air around; easy to pick up for those outside.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Obaa-san should be waiting for us inside, shall we?”

<p class="MsoNormal">As they approached, anyone interested could see a fenced garden behind the house where some grumbling sounds were heard; but there was nothing to immediately be seen from where they were walking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin knocked twice on the door that seemed to open by itself, but looking down one could see a fluffy pink poodle that greeted them with a happy bark and scurried off inside. “Come on in guys!” Said the Namikaze to the rest of his team.

<p class="MsoNormal">The door led straight into a homely decorated living room where an old lady sat by the fire. Her strict eyes keeping watch over a roasted piece of meat while she was braiding a collar-like item in her hands.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Howdy granny!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin took a seat on the floor beside her and tried to steal a bit of meat bit got  a strict tap on the hand by a tail… that lead up to the old lady? Although dressed in granny clothes and behaving like one, the old ‘woman’ with a otherwise human body fully turned her head to the genin to show that she had the face of a Labrador and the most intriguing set of golden eyes that seemed to see more than just reality.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Now you see why granny lives here.” Said Zeshin with a compassionate smile. “But I’m sure you guys will be more understanding than some of the others in Konoha.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Still not having said a word, the old lady dog merely made a grumble in her throat at which three dogs darted down the stairs and sat down in a straight line in front of the Genin; almost like they were military trained.

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin, looking unusually disappointed asked; “Can’t Cerberus accompany us?” But the old lady dog merely shook her head before replying in a beautiful, noble-like voice that ; “Those three Pugs are all I can miss right now. But their noses are even better than the three of Ceberus.”

<p class="MsoNormal">And Zeshin looked more than pleased with that answer. Looking at a black pug with white dots that sat in front of Dante; it looked a tad too serious for such a flat faced little dog. “That’s Jiggu, said the old lady dog.” Then turning to the unusual pug with bright eyes and yellow fur down which ran a black line which extended over its forehead and stopped in an arrow-point-shape between its eyes; this one looking seriously ready to get going already from how it bounced around. “That’s Spazz.” Lastly  Zeshin was seen eyeing a white pug with beautiful fur who held her nose up as if she was too good to even be sent on a mission. “And that’s Ladifah.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin nodded as all of the dogs were introduced and took the scroll from his pocket to summon a long heavy coat from it that didn’t smell like a man had worn it, rather something metallic.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You sure about this one, Zeshin?” Asked Jiggu with a polite tone, not hiding the fact that he knew who this Jounin was. “It doesn’t smell like anything I’ve--- Ah. I see what you mean. That mixed scent of a group of people who spend a lot of time together.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Then Ladifah added in “Hmpf, don’t be too narrow-sighted Jiggu” She waddled over to the coat and sniffed. “There’s more information here. They’re hiding somewhere underground in a place where… children? Are being kept.” She was obviously surprised and taken somewhat aback by the scent; even the high and mighty Ladifah felt the urge to help now.

<p class="MsoNormal">Spazz just began bouncing all over the place, having picked up on all the scents he needed almost immediately when the coat was taken out, and finally just bolted out of the door; expecting Ryouta to follow.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Well, that’s our cue then! Thanks granny!” And with that Zeshin moved out, with the other dogs following as soon as their assigned Genin did. 23:18, March 18, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">It didn’t surprise her that the others had made it to the house before she had, but she was proud of herself. She still made it and didn’t get left behind this time. It was perhaps a silly reason to be proud of herself, but she was and in her mind she had every right to be. It was an improvement to what had happened last time she had to follow Dante and Zeshin.

<p class="MsoNormal">She had looked about and then let her eyes fall on the old woman. Her eyes then went wide in disbelief when she had seen the dog face of a Labrador looking towards them. But her eyes turned into smiling eyes as she bowed slightly in respect to the woman that he called ‘Granny.’ “It’s nice to meet you.” She said softly.

<p class="MsoNormal">While Zeshin was talking with the ‘woman’, the Hyuga girl had knelt down and waited. Her eyes continued to look about until the sound of feet coming down the steps grabbed her attention. She smiled brightly looking from the pups that were in front of them to her brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">As each pup was introduced, she smiled with a nod of her head. “Nice to meet you.” That was the most she had said as she sat back in silence listening to the pups as they gave their input about what was on the jacket. It was amazing what the nose of a dog would smell.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">When the one known as Spazz took off, Hitomi raised to her feet and waited for her cue. Now was when they had to be careful. Looking to Ladifah, she spoke softly, “Do you know which way we are going too?” She hoped that one of them would at least stay with her should she fall behind as she had before. She followed Zeshin out and noticed that when she moved, as did Ladifah. It made the child feel good and a smile crossed her face before she followed the Jounin. 00:02, March 19, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Whilst running the forest came to an opening somewhat, little bits of house could be seen in the distance, Dante just following quickly behind Zeshin until they came to the house, waiting as he knocked and following him inside after he entered. As he entered and looked at the old lady looking figure from behind, his eyes quickly looking over her features as she turned to the group to show herself, Dante wasn’t one to judge other on appearances but this was one for the books, and he could agree with Zeshin that she’d rather be out here rather than in the village.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Standing still while the two of them spoke, and quick to notice the sudden onset of dogs starting to line up before them, Dante glanced down his nose at the point before him. Noticing the dog had an odd pattern of spots, -Jiggu?- He questioned the name of the dog, he’d be even more surprised when they started speaking and talking abou the object Zeshin had, as the one dog ran out the door Dante would follow quickly to catch up to the rest of the group if they had already left. 01:10, March 19, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Ryouta swiftly dashing throughout the forest, weaving right, then left on occasion to avoid the trees that stood in his path until he noticed Zeshin, the accompanying Jounin descend onto a narrow path that he probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, slowing to a walking pace he joins the green eyed shinobi as well as the pair of white eyed Genin who would join them. Beyond the vast variety of forest life, he noticed just minor glimpses of brick, which would seem peculiar so deep within the forest, though he knew this was their destination.

<p class="MsoNormal">The child dashed ahead, somewhat excited to greet whatever waited them before coming to a stop 3 yards before the house, hesitant to enter until the Jounin had confirmed that it was safe. Entering the rather small housing his attention seemed to be all over the place, observing the furniture, to the windows to the staircase before joining the others and as he turned his head, he was taken aback at the abrupt sight of the humanoid  dog though what had taken his was the golden eyes of the aged woman.

<p class="MsoNormal">Though after a brief moment of adjustment, he shrugs before turning about in his position to further capture the surroundings that was, until the sound rapidly stamping feet was heard as the pups were summoned before them, Ryouta’s eyes glimmered as he seemed somewhat cheerful at the sight of them. The boy knelt down to run his fingers through the strangely coloured fur of the pup that knelt before him before arising to his feet whilst the lady introduced the dogs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Spazz” the boy spoke the name aloud in a subtle whisper as if speaking to himself to ensure that he remembered the name of the pup, yet as the dog had left before anyone else, Ryouta would follow promptly, keeping up with the Ninken whilst leaving the others behind in the brick house.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 01:33, March 19, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Spazz was moving, and he was moving quick! Luckily for everyone he bounced around from the left to the right while hopping between whatever he could find, even Zeshin’s face on occasion, allowing them to keep up with the surprisingly fast Pug.

<p class="MsoNormal">They hadn’t travelled for more than a few miles when they finally came upon a fork in the road there the dogs all had to sniff around, obviously excited, but looking as if something was amiss.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Something smells good!” Shouted spazz. While Ladifah sighed and raised her nose. “I think they’ve left something underground to throw off our scent, we should be able to pick it back up further down the road, but which one?” Jiggu nodded sternly and continued on. “It seems that there’s something hidden below us that makes us smell our favorite foods no matter how hard we sniff. A common ploy against Ninken. Best thing to do is split up and move on.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin nodded to the dogs and motioned for Ladifah to come with him. “We’ll take the left path, you guys go right.” He said to the Genin while walking off with Ladifah, seemingly without a care in the world about leaving the Genin behind. In truth he knew this was the best way for them to grow. Zeshin stuffed Ladifah in his shirt and bolted off faster than the Genin could realize; leaving them to their own wit and skill.

<p class="MsoNormal">The right path led down a small valley within the woods as they’d maneuver through a slowly descending path that didn’t seem like it took them down a lot, but after half an hour of walking they could see green hills rise up to their sides; signaling they were indeed going down. Whereas the first part of their route was mildly forested, they were now moving into an extremely forested area. Overhead they’d see a wooden bridge spanning from one Cliffside to the other. And before long they were in a completely different part of the forest. Almost no light found itself capable of piercing through the thick blanket of leaves here and the trees looked to have been misshapen by the lack of light; grown crooked and without many twigs or leaf. Everything just looked lifeless, even the random hog they came across was nothing but skin and bones.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then, out of nowhere, Spazz picked up the scent again. “This way!” He shouted while going deeper in the forest until they were in so deep that finding their way back would be incredibly hard without the noses of these dogs; there was simply nothing to really indicate how deep they were in the forest or which way to take back. The path they walked on earlier having turned to nothing but raw natures a good while ago.

<p class="MsoNormal">And that’s when the group would hear something crack in one of the trees to their right. And in the next moment a small hailstorm of Shuriken flew out towards them from all sides. And then four child-sized shinobi leaped from the trees, all wearing phantom-like masks and long dark robes: taking up a square formation around the Genin. (1 being topleft, 2 topright, 3 bottom left, 4 bottom right.)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Join us or die.” Spoke all four of the strangers in unison. 02:08, March 19, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Hyuuga child followed the group and smiled thinking about how the pugs were talking. It didn’t surprise her. After meeting the Hell hound and hearing him speak to her, the idea of talking dogs was anything but surprising.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, hearing the pugs tell them of how their sense of smell had been effected, the child looked from the group to the fork in the road. “...go right..” She repeated to herself as she turned back to see that Zeshin had taken the ninken that had been assigned to her. Biting her bottom lip a bit, she thought to herself ‘there goes the small comfort…’ A silent sigh left her lips as once more she turned towards the road that they were to be taking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hitomi walked down the path and looked about the valley. Her eyes moving about to everything that was around them. She looked to her brother for a moment as if by doing so, it gave her some sort of security. It might have been a false sense of security, but it helped her just a bit from the feeling of fear creeping in.

<p class="MsoNormal">Shooing away misquetoes from her face and slapping the ones that had managed to land on her skin, she pressed her lips together for a moment before once more, her eyes looked around them. This was certainly a long way for them to walk. But as it got darker and things began to change, that fact of her brother being there didn’t stop anything.

<p class="MsoNormal">Things were playing tricks on her sight and it was scaring her. ‘Be smart about this..’ her words to herself. Activating her Byakugan, the veins around her eyes swelled and her pupils dialated to the point that she could see what was needed to be seen from all angles minus the one blind spot.

<p class="MsoNormal">Still the child walked on with out a word. However that silence was broken when she gasped a bit from the sudden shout from Spazz. She looked to the dog and raised a brow with a soft smile before following him further.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Then the crack. Now paying more attention to where they were, she saw the chakra flows of the four shinobi. By that time, she saw the shuriken being thrown. “Get off the path!” She yelled before she immediately began to spin like a top in place. Forcing a steady flow of chakra from all points creating a ball of chakra around her in a 3 foot radius with her as the center point. She had shielded herself with Rotating heaven. Something that she wished now that she could teach her brother. 02:51, March 19, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Dante came to a stop as the group did, looking towards Zeshin in away as if to ask what to do next. Upon listening to him mention that he’s going to go one way and the others another down the forked path he wouldn’t wait for the others, as Zeshin left so did Dante. His eyes becoming closed as he walked around the path, listening to the sounds around them as they walked, nothing but nature and the dog leading them could be heard. As they traveled more and the scenery changed as they walked down into the forest of the valley, he could see it getting thicker when he opened his eyes to realise the light was barely making it through the thick leaves and then not at all.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Upon entering the forest he noticed his siblings byakugan become active, not even bothering to look her in the eye but instead just keep his eyes forward and his ears open. Suddenly a crack of a branch behind them, Dante donned his byakugan in an instant, his eyes becoming defined, and detailed, the surrounding area suddenly appeared as he too noticed the four figures seemingly taking a formation, and the shirken coming towards them. Noticing Hitomi’s chakra points open in away he’d seen before he’d knew what was coming, he’d jump just behind the Jutsu that she used, being careful not to get caught in it but use it as a shield for the shuriken. While jumping behind her he reached both hands behind him into the pouch he kept on his lower back, reaching to hold two of his own shuriken between his middle and pointer finger on each hand, four in total. Lashing his arms forward letting go of the Shuriken with a quick flick he aimed to throw them in such away that they’d bend around Hitomi and aim for the core of each of the four figures, one each. After his attack he’d jump back, again reaching into the ninja pouch on the base of his back, taking a kunai from it before crouching, his left leg back and right front, his fists almost almost touching as he held the kunai in a defensive position his hand. 22:23, March 19, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Zaine: The child continued through the vast flourishing forest life whilst pacing behind the pups until there appeared to have been somewhat of a disturbance, the pups seemed somewhat confused momentarily. The group arriving at a crossroads, Ryouta seemed to pace about whilst his short attention span had him staring down the left path, wondering hoe one was capable of fooling even the ninken's ability to smell.

Ryouta continued however, keeping the question to himself before catching the end of the instructions their assigned Jounin had delegated. Having separated, the blonde Genin running quickly enough to follow the ninken named Spazz closely, the pups dashing forth rather swiftly and the path before him appeared to have differed immensely so from the vivid green scenery they had seen up until now. Darkness enveloped their surroundings now and the forest life was scarce, signs of dying trees and animal cadavers had the child somewhat on edge.

Spazz however seemed excited, announcing that he had picked up on the scent before making a dash forward, sighing, the boy moves slightly quicker to keep up with the rather swift moving pup until Hitomi's words were heard. Ryouta focused and time itself seemed to slow in his eyes, noticing the rotation from his peripherals, he intended to move behind it yet worried for Spazz as he moved ahead of them.

Clenching his jaw the Genin leapt forward, standing in front of Spazz whilst both hands reaching into separate pouches, one held a kunai whilst the other, an explosive tag, attaching the explosive tag to the kunai quickly he threw the projectile toward the barrage of shuriken. A midair explosion occurred whilst preventing most of the projectiles, few still made it through, the golden eyed child could feel the shurikens embedded in his right shoulder, the left side of his hip and a liquid drip along the boy's right cheek. Despite his wounds he had little time to respond.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">After hopping back to join the other 2 Genin, he retrieved a kunai and a particularly long metallic wire which he would attach one end to the loop at the kunai's handle. The child's eyes observed his surroundings while the 4 masked children spoke, the boy twirls the kunai with his hand gripping the middle of the wire. As Dante initiated an attack, Ryouta followed promptly, tossing the kunai overhead of the masked child in the top right corner before pulling on the almost unnoticeable wire to bring the kunai back towards the rear of the masked child's head almost instantly after it had been thrown. The kunai itself spinning rapidly whilst almost simultaneously with the attack of his kunai, Ryouta retrieved 3 shuriken and tossed them in a vertical alignment toward the masked shinobi in the bottom right corner of the formation. 01:10, March 20, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Shuriken flew around chaotically, some blown back by an explosive tag of Ryouta and another large amount by Hitomi’s Rotating Heaven technique that brought to life a whirling dome of chakra which sent some of the shuriken flying back at the four masked children. However, these foes proved quite agile as they drew forth their kunai and deflected skillfully, including the shuriken thrown by Dante.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The metal stopped flying the four opponents suddenly broke out in movements of their own. (villain number 1)  and (villain number 2)  came straight towards Hitomi. Just before reaching her, (villain number 1) fell to a crouch and aimed to slash at her legs while (villain number 2)  jumped on the back of (villain number 1), using his partner as a launching board, his long black robe waving in the air,and jumped up and over Hitomi before aiming to slash his kunai down her back.

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile (villain number 3) had circled around to face Dante, about four yards between them, and threw his Kunai down at Dante’s feet before forming the snake seal to detonate it. (Possibly catching Hitomi if she moved back to her brother.)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">The (villain number 4), who had a stripe running down his mask, began forming several handseals before placing his hands on the ground. Saying nothing until the ground had begun to stir below Ryouta, and then, seemingly from nowhere, a large hand arose from the earth, made of the ground itself, and aimed to clasp around Ryouta before tightening hard; starting with bruising and possibly ending with the breaking of bones. 01:35, March 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Coming out of her rotation, she saw the two villains that had surrounded her. Her hands came up and formed the seals for the Body replacement technique and before she could completely finish spinning, a cloud of smoke appeared and the thud of a heavy piece of wood fell to the ground between the two villains.

<p class="MsoNormal">From up in a tree that was diagonal from where she had been standing, her eyes focused upon the two that had attacked her. Focusing on her own chakra with her hands in position forming the seals for water needle, she created eight spindles of water. Without hesitation, she let them fly through the air towards them.

<p class="MsoNormal">Four of the spindles were aimed to the left rear side of the first villain. Two aimed for the rear back of his neck where his spine would be located. The other two flew to the side of his head aimed for his temple and just behind his ear.

<p class="MsoNormal">The second set of four spindles were aimed at the right front of the other villain. Two were aimed for the front of his neck where his wind pipe would be. The other two aimed for the side if his face right behind the mask.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Though she was raised with the idea that all life was sacred, she couldn’t ignore that her brother was in danger like she was. 02:20, March 20, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Dante would see the masked figure approaching him, moving around so he could face him dead on. He seen the kunai being thrown towards him, he’d use the one in his hand to throw it, knocking the one coming towards him to the floor about halfway between them both. Using the smoke of the explosion as a distraction Dante would take off into a full sprint towards the figure before him, leaping through the smoke quickly forming three signs. Ram → Snake → Tiger in that order, and as he landed it would appear like three of him had landed, he’d be the one on the left while two of them would be to his right.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Continuing to run towards the figure after landing, each of the clones following his movements perfectly, his hand moving to the left side of his face, attempting to land a full thrusted palm on the figure, all three would appear to hit him at once in a coned shape, but only the on the left would be felt, the palm would be infused with chakra, intending to carry the force of the palm right through the figures heart in an attempt to stop it beating and kill the thing then and there. 02:37, March 20, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Genin realised the sequence of hand seals and knowing that a jutsu was imminent, he thought himself to be a safe enough distance, though the moment the earth beneath him shift about, he break into his full speed at a dash towards him, though simultaneously pulling the kunai he had thrown prior back toward him. Within the dash he had formed hand seals of his own ‘Boar → Snake → Dragon’ leaping over the masked child and grasping the kunai’s handle in midair whilst the metallic wire stretched in front the child would pull the string towards himself, hoping to entangle the child within.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Raiton: Jibashi” the child voiced aloud before golden sparks of lightning coursed throughout the wire, if the child were caught by the string or attempted to utilise a metallic object to save themselves from the wire, the current would pass through the shinobi’s body and electrocute them. Learning from the mistakes of a past spar, Ryouta then pressed the untied end against the kunai’s handle, forming a circle entrapment of a coursing electrical current. 03:28, March 20, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Villain number one was seen falling to his knees, dead, with long needles stabbing through his spine. As he fell down the mask cracked to show the face of a young freckled boy whose red eyes were stil filled with tears even though he was already gone.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">This caused his partner, villain number two, to scream in anger while forming a furious set of handseals, foaming under the mask, as he summoned a giant ball of fire that obliterated the second set of needles easily and aimed to crash into Hitomi with all its blazing might, reducing the tree she stood on to nothing but ashes.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile the third villain found himself lost and guessing between the three copies of a single konoha Genin. Not knowing who was who, and who was where, he blindly guessed and dashed straight ahead to plunge his kunai through the forehead of the one in the middle, only to hit mere air, while a palmthrust to the chest lifted to masked boy off the ground in a single thrust. The villain was smaller, more fragile, and younger than Dante as seen when the boy’s mask snapped off when he got slammed against a tree, revealing the face of a pale 10 year old boy whose eyes had gone lifeless eyes as his heart had stopped.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">The fourth villain saw the opponent move through the air and seemed far calmer than all of the others. He was already weaving a new set of handseals while Ryouta jumped up, and before the metallic wire could fall around him he had sank underground using the hiding in earth technique, and within 4 seconds Dante would suddenly feel a hand trying to grab his ankle. Ryouta, upon landing, would also find a hand trying to grab his ankle. Upon a successful grab, the hands would turn to earth showing them to be earth clones, while spikes of hardened soil shot up from the ground directly below whoever got grabbed to aim and pierce them. Finally, the fourth villain emerged from the ground again between all of the Genin and started forming a new set of handseals without any signs of exhaustion. 03:40, March 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The look of sheer horror crossed the child’s face as she watched the mask fall and reveal the face of the boy. A sob caught in her throat while her eyes stayed on the boy as he fell to the ground. Her chest tightened and it became hard for her to breathe. She had killed someone.

<p class="MsoNormal">Her eyes looked to the other villain who had taken her attention off her inner thoughts and as she saw the seals being made, it was as if it was all in slow motion for her. As the flame ball came at her with the intensity that it did, she stepped back from the tree branch and just fell into the flora that was below her. Her long hair being still in the way as she fell, had a good foot burned off it.

<p class="MsoNormal">She stood in the brush while her eyes still looked to the boy that lay dead on the ground. Her face was streamed with tears as her sobs continued. “I’m sorry…” she whispered as she went to the dead child. All the commotion that was going on around her was as if it had been muted. Her eyes remained on the child.

<p class="MsoNormal">She felt numb from her head to her feet while the tears continued to flow over her cheeks. She kneeled opposite of the second villain and wrapped her arms around the boy, bringing him into her lap. Slowly, she had taken his mask off as tears of her own landed upon his freckled face. “Stop…Please stop this... ”She whispered. Her chest heaving in sobs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She screamed as she had pulled the child up and hugged him to her. Her sobs shaking her whole body. 04:20, March 20, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Feeling his palm thrust connect fully, and the figure lifted off the ground only to hit the tree behind him Dante quickly turned, giving a little huff as if he expect better than this. He looked over to his other sibling and gritted his teeth, -What is she doing, down on the floor with these scum.- He thought to himself, it’s as if she disrespected the Hyuga clan in front of him. Attempting to run towards her at fully sleep only to spot fingertips rising from the ground, he quickly wove the seals Dog → Boar → Ram as the hand seemingly reached up around the ankle of Dante, a poof of smoke appeared and what the hand was holding would be a stick about the same thickness of his ankle, Dante would still be running towards Hitomi standing next to her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> “Wake up..” In one swipe of his hand, he attempted to smack her on the cheek closest to him, in an attempt to make her come to her senses. After he’d done that he’d look down upon her in disgrace “You think you have the right to cry over someone who lost their life in battle, to pity them? That isn’t your right at all, now stand up before you disgrace our house anymore.” He quickly turned his attention back towards the figure that appeared in the middle of all 3 of them, Reaching back into the pouch which lay on his lower back he pulled a kunai out, preparing for anything to come. 04:45, March 20, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The situation seemed dire; the loss of life seemed quite the traumatic experience for the female Genin amongst them, as she began making her way to hold the corpse of the shinobi she had murdered, given their stature and height it wasn’t surprising that they were children but they seemed incredibly talented for their age. Ryouta didn’t have time, given their position both of his peers were possibly in danger, the child bent slightly before breaking into a full speed sprint towards the center to join the 2, throughout the sprint a lightning ran along his fingertips.

<p class="MsoNormal">Once he appeared before them, his back facing Hitomi whilst glaring toward the masked child who had shot forth a ball of flame, extending out his arm he flickers his wrist, a second attempt at a recently discovered jutsu whilst hoping it’d work, sparks of lightning shoot forth towards the masked child, despite the revelation of them being children it didn’t remove the fact that they sought to kill us.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Raiton: Thunder” the boy voices the name of the technique and despite it being significantly weaker than what its true potency would hold, it would prove enough to paralyse the target, the child then turns to face the appearing masked child whilst Dante slaps at his sister. Retrieving 2 shurikens the child tosses both off to the side of the target whilst one deflects the other to change its trajectory to bury its blades into the other masked child’s shoulder before once again pivoting back towards the original target.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 05:16, March 20, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Sparks of electricity danced through the air before hitting the masked villain who had turned around to see the girl who had just murdered his friend, now hug her? “How dare you!” Cried the angry shrill voice of the youth whose emotional state broke him out of the shortlisting state of paralysis  as the child screamed while forming the same set of handseals as before while launching another great fireball, spanning 4 yards in diameter, straight at the three Genin and his lost friend; aiming to hit them all with it.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, Ryouta found his ankle grabbed by a firm hand that turned to hard soil while the final remaining villain, with a stripe running down his mask, jumped up and over the shuriken and into a tree 10 yards away from the 3 Konoha  Genin. Several spikes of hardened earth then shot out of the ground while the fire was due to make impact; aiming to pierce the boy’s torso in several places, hit right arm, and both legs, all with individual spikes that grew out like spears.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Still standing on the branch in the tree, the stripe-masked villain formed a new set of handseals and clapped his hands together at which a dragon made of mud arose from the ground below him, changing the very ground around it into mud as well as its roaring form rushed forth towards any of the Genin who had dodged or survived the previous attacks. Edited by HokageSenju 06:12, March 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The sound of his hand connecting with her cheek was heard with a loud crack and the already sobbing Hitomi looked up to her brother as his words might as well have been kunai as they were spat down at her. Her words and thoughts at this point were of no use. Her cheek sore and red, she stood and looked to her brother more. She felt numb and cold. But there would be no soothing her emotions.

<p class="MsoNormal">Her eyes looked to the area and she saw the movement about her. Still she felt nothing. There was nothing to even grab for. She had taken a life and on top of that, disgraced their house. What more could she possibly do in this day that would make it any worse?

<p class="MsoNormal">Chakra built up in Hitomi while she looked to the child that had tried to kill her for killing his friend. Having taken one life already, she only looked at the flow of chakra that was in the child.

<p class="MsoNormal">She saw the fire ball being created and just as it came towards her, she quickly made the hand signs dog --> boar --> ram and in her place a piece of wood took the flame of the incoming fire.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Appearing in the tree above the child, she had reached into her pocket and pulled out four shurikens. With her only focus on where the chakra was in his body, she would only see him now as channels and over laid the nervous system over that. She was done. She was tired. Her face hurt. And now, there was no emotion in the child’s eyes as she fired off the four shurikens towards the side of the child’s neck. Each would be side by side going from the front of his neck to the back. 06:26, March 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Quickly noticing the fire ball approaching, along with the hand about to impale the other Genin to his side Dante, gritted his teeth but thought the Genin would be able to deal with it himself, what he didn’t need to deal with was the fire ball coming towards him. Quickly Dante took a diagonal stance towards the fireball, breathing in deeply before closing his eyes and quickly opening them as the fireball was about to impact upon them, opening every chakra point in his body performing the Gentle Fist One Body Blow, but in such away that instead of having a quick burst of chakra leaving his body from all ankles instead short bursts in waves over the front of his body in a hopes that he’d be able to change the trajectory of the fireball and send it flying towards the other masked man, waving of chakra would be battling with the fire battle bit by bit changing the way it was moving as it flashed against his chakra. Dante would have a few burns on the side of his body which took the front of the fireball, and his eyebrow on that side would be missing, the fireball if not stopped would aim to hit the Masked figure before he finished forming the seals he was currently doing.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> After such a burst of his chakra reserve he’d fall to a knee, quickly looking around, panting, sweating from the heat of the attack which was just so close to him. He’d toss the Kunai in his hand to aim for the chest of the child like figure screaming at the loss of partner, aiming to land his kunai at the same time Hitomi’s shuriken landed. 20:27, March 20, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Fingers could be felt grasping his ankle, initially the child attempts to pull his leg free, however his efforts futile as the hand turns to stone, panicked the child conjures a mixture of hand seals as swiftly as possible that he had almost failed the order of it all. ‘Hare → Dragon → Dog → Ram → Ox → Tiger’ the child’s seal extending and an enshrouding cloak of chakra coating the child’s body, resembling that of a tiger cup enveloping his body, expanding and ultimately causing the stone hand to crumble before he rears backwards, narrowly avoiding the spikes spewing from the floor upwards. Though the grasp of the hand had left a visible bruise upon the boy’s ankle, causing him pain with every step, making it seemingly difficult to walk yet he had to ignore the pain as best he could whilst narrowly hopping to the side of the fireball which would make contact with Dante. With the now augmented speed and reflexes, the child charges forth towards the masked shinobi in a dash towards them.

<p class="MsoNormal">Once closing the distance rather quickly, the child bent slightly and aimed a palm toward the chest of the masked child, hoping to save the poor child from facing the fate of their allies, a hostage or an informant would be useful yet the pair of white eyed Genin seemed more intent on their elimination. Should the flustered, raging child be hit by the blow, it would only deal enough force to send them back toward the tree behind them, ultimately knocking them unconscious whilst Hitomi’s shuriken would embed itself in Ryouta’s shoulder and Dante’s kunai into his upper beck back, in the gap between his spine and shoulder blade.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Edited by ThisIsBullshit2015 22:23, March 20, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Just in time.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryouta’s effort pushed the masked child, who was screaming in mental agony up till then, back against the tree with enough force to knock the kid out thanks to the Zodiac shroud providing additional force. This however did leave Ryouta impacted by his allies efforts, the two of whom had narrowly escaped the fireball.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, none of the Genin had noticed the now roaring dragon made of mud that tore through the ground with its 12 yard long body that had a slice-through width of 2 diameters. Its mouth opened, it came for Dante first, aiming to Ram against the kids back with impressive force before it continued to rush forth, also aiming to smash Ryouta out of the way and towards the same tree where laid the kid Ryouta saved earlier. Then, finally, the dragon roared upwards and tore through the branch Hitomi stood on while something began to glow inside its body, quickly speeding forth, as the dragon opened its maw directly below Hitomi while crashing through the tree, releasing a wave of fire that aimed to blast her up into the air.

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, the final masked Villain, who had the stripe running down his mask, moved his hands away from one another so that the dragon fell back onto the ground as mud. He then turned around and dashed deeper into the forest, opposite of from where they came, and laughed in a sinister manner while leaving several explosive tags on the trail behind him that were connected to fish-wires which were hard to be seen with the naked eye and would trigger upon touch; aiming to catch the target in a small web of explosions.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 22:37, March 20, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The emotionless eyes of the mentally wounded Hitomi saw that once more one of her weapons hurt her companion. It seemed that once more she was doing more harm than good. Closing her eyes, she reached into her pouch and took out a hunai and held it in her hand. Her peers were getting hurt because of her. She was a disgrace to the Huyga house with every turn she made, or so she had been told. It was becoming very heavy to carry this weight.

<p class="MsoNormal">With the dragon coming toward her, it caused her to snap out of the dark place that had taken her attention for the time being. The branch she was on erupted in to shards of wood just as she jumped with all her might away from it. Some of the shards imbedded into her leg while she had placed her arm across her face to shield it. However, she had not cleared the heat of the fire before it singed more of her hair and she had burned the lower part of her left leg, from mid shin to the tips of her toes. Her sandal was burned that was also taken from her thought as she landed hard on the ground within the underbrush.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Once the beast had disappeared, she slowly stood and walked back to where the other two had been. Her arms to her sides, she did the only thing that she could think to do, take out her first aid kit. It was perhaps the one thing that she could do and do right. Edited by HitomiHyuga 02:05, March 21, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Panting and on one knee Dante quickly saw the dragon made of mud coming towards him he quickly brought both feet to the floor although staying in the crouched position, concentrating Chakra into his thighs he quickly spring into the air, pressing back though so he backflipped off the floor only to again land on one knee but having avoided the attack of said dragon.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Grinding his teeth together looking at the only masked person left standing he quickly reached into the pouch on his lower back taking the past two shuriken which were in there between his middle finger and index finger, attempting to coat his hand which held them with a layer of chakra which infused with the shuriken, he ignited them both blazing shuriken quickly being thrown towards the masked man, one of the flames around one of them going out but the other staying, he wasn’t perfect at using this new jutsu only having little practice. The Shuriken still alight aimed to catch the cloak of the masked person setting it alight, the other aiming for the middle of his mask to at the very least crack it open.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> While throwing the shuriken, he reached his other hand into the pouch on his back, taking two paper bombs attached to kunai,throwing them towards nearby dead trees in an attempt to fell them, giving him some cover to run towards his team and try to sort out some type of plan. 02:20, March 21, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">With Dante avoiding the dragon, the golden eyed Genin had caught it with his peripherals before the dragon had decided to shift from one target to another, slithering through the forest floor and skidding quite fluidly, keeping his back faced toward the dragon, the blonde child dash forth, grabbing at the one unconscious masked child and throwing the newly considered over his shoulder before running up along the length of the strength with the soles of his shoes coated in chakra. Standing atop the tree he would jump as soon as the dragon neared to continue its attack, using its own forward motion to avoid the dragon’s assault and clear through the air over the dragon itself before landing at the base of its tail.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">From there he’d dash to the middle to either formulate a cooperative attack to defeat the dragon or to pursue the fleeing masked target. Throughout his leap, he witnessed as Dante continued his range assault towards the striped masked child who had fled the scene and Hitomi leap and narrowly escape the flames he mud based dragon would spew forth. The Genin landed in the midst of the forest floor itself, placing the unconscious shinobi on the floor and removing the shuriken and kunai embedded in his arm, the escaping blood seemingly causing his arm to go numb momentarily, so the child moves his arm about to regain feeling within it. 03:50, March 21, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Masked villain continued to run but hadn’t seen the shuriken coming, unfortunately, as now the shuriken that was supposed to crack open his mask embedded itself in the back of his skull, causing him to fall to the floor while his robe caught on fire. With the Shuriken then still in his hea the voice of a 15 year old cried out in pain as he was being burned alive. His whole world went up in flames together with the promised they made him. He couldn’t see where he was going anymore and in a blind rage brought forth several more fire breathing earth dragons that roared around the forest.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Two of these came towards the genin, roasting the trees Dante had thrown down to a bare crisp as they aimed to breathe a conjoined flamethrower towards the thee Konoha Ninja, spanning over 10 yards in width, there was little room for them to go. The two dragons would then continue to circle around the genin while blowing their fire down for several seconds straight before stopping, and dissipating back to raw mud as their owner and creator had burned down to nothing more than a blackened skeleton and pieces of roasted flesh.

<p class="MsoNormal">Fire spread… everywhere… and quickly. If they had managed to survive the earlier onslaught of slames through clever teamwork then they were now faced with a new challenge. A total of 6 earth dragons, four of which they hadn’t even seen most likely, had set the area around them aflame and the fire spread quickly. It would chase after them in the direction that they had to run to, in order to escape the secluded valley, and chased them fast. Just one miss-step and they’d be toast. It’d take a good five minutes before the fire would finally die out due to a number of Konoha Shinobi who were seen rushing towards the Genin, if they made if, telling them to run back before assaulting the fires with water Jutsu.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Running a bit further they’d see more and more Konoha Shinobi heading towards them, and then Zeshin, who teleported the final twelfth Shinobi capable of using water jutsu that he could find in short notice. The blonde looked exhausted from having teleported so many people in such short notice but they were they just in time to quell the fires before they’d possibly form a threat to the forest outside the valley.

 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi had just begun to look over her wounds and was about to walk over to the other two when she heard the cries of the last masked villain. Slowly she turned her head to see the child/teen bring forth two more dragons, not seeing the others that were brought forth. Shaking her head, she placed her med pack back into her pouch with her eyes still on the beasts. “No.. no.. nonononono” She said as she began to back up the way that they had originally come. Reaching into her pouch, she took out the last two kunai that she had and looked to Dante.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Dante… is it disgraceful to the house if I’m scared?” Her eyes finally showing some emotion and it screamed that she was terrified as more tears fell over her cheeks.

<p class="MsoNormal">As she continued to watch the dragons come towards them, she noticed the space that was between the two dragons. Yes, their flame was huge in both width and length, however, it was in front of them. She watched as they started with the trees on either side and timed it for when they had begun to turn their heads towards them. Her leg burned and hurt but if she didn’t push it, she’d be dead. Running as fast as she possibly could, crying out as she pushed herself to move faster, she ran right for the center of the two dragons. With all she could, she jumped into the air as the dragons continued to move forward. With her momentum pushing her one way and the dragons moving the other direction, she felt the heat of the fire as she passed over it. The burn on her leg feeling once more like it was on fire as she landed hard between the two beasts. She’d then back up down the path a bit more with her eyes looking around to the fire that was quickly coming her way.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Once the dragons had dissipated, she looked around for the pups that had come with them, letting out a whistle for them to come and feeling horrible for treating them as she just did. But they all had to get out of there. She’d begin to run back the way that they had come to begin with, feeling the licks of the flames at her legs and rapidly trying to keep her own clothing from going up in flames as she continued to run. 07:28, March 21, 2016
 * DamienKiyoshi <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Dante noticing the figure running in the distance catch alight, his screams could be heard echoing throughout the forest, noticing a couple more dragons arise from the mid and coming towards them, spitting fire through the trees that Dante had fell to give them some cover, the forest rapidly becoming a blazing inferno. Noticin Hitomi backing away from the fire which came towards him Dante thought to himself that the Genin with him couldn’t really jump on the damaged leg, with the weight of the female on his shoulder added Dante signaled for the Genin to stand behind him fully.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> “Stay right behind me.” Dante commanded, if they did, he’d close his eyes quickly breathing in fully before placing both palms out in front of him. Forcing himself to perform the Gentle Fist Art One Body blow once more. Opening the chakra points at the front of his body at once, before the flames into contact with them, aiming to blow his way through the fire where the two flames met (This being the weakest part.) Quickly running through with the other genin following him before the hole he made in the fight quickly filled. As she started circling, dant was wore, wasn’t much he could do right now, feeling himself exhausted, and hardly able to catch his breath, he look towards the Genin, reaching into the pouch at the base of his spine, reaching for his last Kunai attaching the rest of his wire to it, Shaking it so the Genin would know what he meant, hoping the Genin would have enough wire and something to throw, throwing it towards a high hanging branch outside of the dragons, quickly pulling himself up and over them to join Hitomi, starting to quickly escape the burning forest. He’d have pulled on the string, retrieving the Kunai, using it and embedding his last amount of chakra into it to again ignite the kunai and cut away the skin shrubbery, making it easier for them to escape. Upon seeing other Shinbo of the leaf, he felt a little relieved, jumping past them as they told him too, moving to join almost collapsing at the side of the Jounin who brought them. 23:27, March 21, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The blonde child was left alone with the white haired male Genin, though with the running female they had to stall the flames even if it were for but a mere moment. Upon Dante’s instruction, Ryouta would follow promptly, standing behind him with his back face towards him, bending both knees, his left arm wrapped securing the shinobi around his shoulder whilst his right hand pressed against the surface of forest floor prepared to run when it became necessary. The child inhales, allowing his stomach to knead the remainder of his chakra and upon the sight of Dante dashing, he would follow suit.

<p class="MsoNormal">The child then leaps into the air turning about in mid-air to see the conjoined flames chasing them before releasing a percussive wave of sound in the form of a roar towards the fire in order to stall it for another moment before landing then turning about. He now caught glimpse of what seemed to be a kunai in the hands of Dante, nodding his head in acknowledgement before attempting to retrieve a kunai and string with a single hand, though struggling to do so he seemed intent on saving the life of the captive. Continuing to simultaneously run, gripping the handle of the kunai with the fingers of his right hand excluding the index finger and the thumb which were used along with his mouth to tie the wire through the hole of the kunai.

<p class="MsoNormal">Panicked the boy threw the loosely tied kunai toward a nearby tree, its blade embedded deep within the tree before he lifts himself from the ground, swinging through the air and just as he was about to release the wire to fall to the other side, the wire slipped through the hole as it was poorly tied. The child landing roughly, tumbling about before landing on his back, his unconscious captive now lay beside the badly injured Genin, bruises now forming across the entirety of his body, blood seeping through his clothes from his left shoulder whilst his cheek still bled. The boy closes his eyes as he now found himself behind Konohagakure’s shinobi.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Made it” the boy said aloud before laughing, his shroud disappearing amidst his laughter whilst the boy truggled to retain consciousness. Edited by ThisIsBullshit2015 23:50, March 21, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Just in time

<p class="MsoNormal">All three of the Genin, and the unconscious captive taken by Ryouta, fell on the ground after making it  past the line of reinforcement that slowly began to extinguish the spreading wildfire; controlling, and eventually killing all of the sources of flame. Meanwhile Zeshin had walked over to the Genin at which Ladifah jumped out of his shirt and waddled over to Hitomi, licking the girls face. Then Spazz and Jiggu popped out of the ground like moles, sweaty moles, who obviously had it hot during their escaped. Jiggu making a snobby remark as he raised his flat nose “Hmpf, I expect better caretaking next time.” While Spazz just looked like he had the best day of his life.

<p class="MsoNormal">Several of the water users then carried, or helped walk the children, back to Konoha while Zeshin was seen talking to a unusual looking ANBU member in the back who was wrapped in bandages from tip to toe. If any of the Genin were still awake they could hear the Namikaze say the following “I found their encampment. Ladifah scented out six troublesome foes and a group of children like the one Ryouta managed to capture. We have to make sue to prevent the death of these children, as well as hours, you’ve got to tell the Hokage to take better precautions. He won’t listen to me any---“

<p class="MsoNormal">Zeshin was cut off by the ANBU who shook his head, which was covered by a cat-like mask, and said but one thing before body-flickering out of sight. “Leaves must fall for a tree to survive.”
