[center][h3][color=pink]Nagisa Hana[/color][/h3][/center] She stood in a bored silence as she waited for one of her students to make the first move. She imagined all of this being suddenly dumped on them was throwing them off, though that was part of the point of the test: to see how well they work under the worst kind of circumstances. Not only did they not know anything about what kind of skills Nagisa had, they didn't know whether or not Lee was just a simple cat or if he also possessed some kinds of skills too. To top it all off, the only thing they knew for sure was that one of them would be sacrificing their position as a Genin for the other two. Regardless, they'd have to approach carefully, which they seemed to understand. Though she was wondering exactly they were planning over there. She could probably hear if she strained, but she was too lazy for that. Instead, she watched as they talked quietly among themselves. Seemed as though they at least were not ones to jump right into action without first forming some sort of plan. They got points for that, though she'd start taking them away if they made her wait any longer. [color=pink]"Hey, Lee. You really sleeping?"[/color] she mumbled loud enough for the ninneko to hear. [b]"Nah, I'm too excited to sleep."[/b] he replied to her, not lifting his head or opening his eyes. [color=pink]"You know I got this, right?"[/color] she told him. [b]"You're the one who doesn't seem convinced. Don't worry about the water. You're more than your smoke release."[/b] Nagisa nodded at that, though it didn't really make her feel better about the water in general. Her fear of it was irrational, but persistent, as well as something that could seriously distract her. The fact Lee had told them kind of put her on edge, though her expression would never reveal it. She hoped they wouldn't actually take his advice, but she didn't put any bets on that. They'd likely use any information they'd be given. After waiting a few more moments, Nagisa was about to complain about them taking too damn long, but Tao spoke up first, demanding her attention in his declaration of attack. Smirking, the pink haired woman cracked the knuckles of her hands. [color=pink]"That's what I've been waiting to hear!"[/color] she said, taking of at a run towards the three Genin as Tao sent large waves of fire towards her. [i] [color=pink]Very interesting. He didn't weave a single hand sign. Hm...[/color] she thought to herself. As the flames approached her, she made two signs and waited for the right moment, allowing her chakra to combine and build up in her lungs before she released it all at once. Blowing out through her mouth was a thick, dark grey cloud of smoke that spread out around the area of the clearing, extinguishing the flames coming towards her. In an instant, all four of them would be surrounded by the thick cloud of gas, reducing visibility to almost zero unless they would get around, below, or above it. Though she could see clearly, the others would likely have a hard time until the smoke faded. [color=pink]"What will you do now that I've got you right where I want you?"[/color] she would ask, appearing directly in front of Tao. In a quick movement, she would clap her hands together, activating her Gale Palm technique and blow the small Genin backwards, far enough to be freed from the black cloud of smoke. The other two, unless they'd already removed themselves from the cloud, would be her next targets. She had full intention to use her skills in Silent Killing to be utterly silent. They wouldn't know where she was coming from until it was too late, and had they regrouped outside the cloud of smoke, she had no intention of letting it dissipate so soon. Standing still, she waited for someone to make another move.
