[color=00aeef][i]"Damn it...We're failing big time here..." [/i][/color] Tao clenched his teeth and thought to himself. Getting the bells was a complete failure, they weren't getting close to the cat and their sensei was kicking their asses. [color=00aeef]"Okay..."[/color] Tao breathed, seeing how Ozuko used his ninjutsu to raise a large chunk of the earth into the air. With slightly wide eyes, Tao eventually just grinned and stretched his hand out, fire surrounding it viciously. [color=00aeef]"Guys, screw the bells. We're taking sensei down and then we're going for cat! Focus all of your energy on Nagisa Sensei, show her that we're anything but boring!"[/color] Using his powers, Tao engulfed the large rock that Ozuko had conjured, essentially creating a miniature meteor together. [color=00aeef]"Let's see what your 'awesome and amazing' Kekkei Genkai can do, Ozuko!"[/color] Surrounding something that large with an intense whirl of fire took a tremendous amount of chakra and it was nothing he could have done on his own, without his teammate to first create the earth elemental aspect of the attack. This was it, a [i]real[/i] team combination attack. Finally, they were adding some synergy to this fight. 

Would Nagisa dodge all of the water, she was up for a small meteor going straight for her, a large rock engulfed in blindingly white fire. [color=00aeef]"Excuse our enthusiasm, Sensei! But this day won't pass before we take you down!"[/color] The boy felt how he wanted to fall to his knees but he kept upright, his grin wide as he watched their teacher. [color=00aeef]"We're still able to fight..."[/color] He continued, conjuring several small shuriken sized embers of flames around him. [color=00aeef]"We might lose...but..."[/color] He wiped his forehead. [color=00aeef]"We're [i]NOT[/i] fucking boring!!"[/color] Waving his hand in a fast motion, the flame shurikens burst out and flew towards their sensei, each one moving in a different direction towards their target. 

Falling down to his knee, Tao breathed heavily and placed his hand on the ground as to not fall over. Was he truly [i]this[/i] prideful? He was almost as bad as Ozuko, but then, Tao had always been driven by a sense of pride and self assurance. He wasn't going to fail this, none of them were. Fuck the bells, they were taking down Nagisa before anything else was going to happen. In a real mission, you take out the threat before you get the sealed documents. Nagisa was the threat, and she was going to be taken out if it so ended up in all of the genin fainting from exhaustion.
