[IC] Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

[Mr Nim]

Deidara Yuhiko

Hearing Asami's words, Deidara did not move at all. He noticed the poison was starting to take effect on Midori. And then he heard Michi's teasing at them, knowingly having the antidote and still doing so. He grabbed a hold of Midori and placed her arm around his neck, and a moment later begin seeing slightly blurry and also feeling the same weakness Midori was feeling. Thinking that he should try and keep it to himself as much as he could, he tried to focus the shaking on his free arm only, so it would be just barely noticeable, but it was a hard task doing so.

Turning to look at the direction Asami went to, he wanted to say something but he stopped, thinking about it. She was his temporary sensei now, so it appeared. So she could punish him just like she used to. Sighing, he looked at Renya instead "Seems like Michi poisoned Midori and me. Don't let it get to you, so I think the best way to do so is to seperate Michi from the antitode." He said and felt as he had a hard time breathing. He then did a few seals, and after a few moments of focusing hard on his chakra, a mist appeared around all of them. It felt warm, and Deidara knew covering himself would do no good here, so he decided to try and see if the mist's heat and breathing it will be able to slightly slow the poison's effects "Stay calm Midori. I'm sure Renya will do her best." He said and then looked at his healthy teammate, wondering what should be their next move.

[GlitchyBugger]

Kumogatarui Dobustu

Hatake-sensei wanted her to be more forward and come straight to them? But how was she meant to judge what sort of people they were without observing them first... Unless that was the point of it, she shouldn't have to judge their character just yet? That wasn't good though, if they turned out to be bad people then she might not get along with them.

Meanwhile Takeshi was introducing himself whilst Kumoga pondered upon Hatake-sensei's question, it seemed as if no one had an answer for it though so she quietly chimed in, putting a hand forward to get their attention. "I think that maybe it would be a mixture of subjects, like testing knowledge as well as physical aptitude to see just how much each of us know and what we are capable of?... At least that's what I think." Kumoga suggested, glancing to Takeshi... He seemed oddly quiet for the rowdy shinobi she had assumed him to be. Maybe the first-look impressions weren't a good thing to go on.
_______________________________________

Niji Yakei - The Refeelzening

Niji would've jumped in surprise at Shinichi's arrival, but he was the only one she would've guessed to find her, as well as go through the effort to sneak up to her like he did... At least that was expected, his words on the other hand were from a ball-park so different to what she was used to from him, it made her quietly think about his words, how he must've done things he'd deeply regretted in the past if he were bringing it up whilst sounding so experienced with her dilemma.

It was even somewhat heart-warming to hear him saying that being her sensei for all this time had changed him for the good. "You're still the only one who'd sneak up to someone who's family tradition is to be a paranoid bodyguard, aren't you?" Niji replied with a raised brow before she put a pensive expression on, starting to really think about his words of encouragement. "It may sound somewhat childish and maybe radical in a way, but I don't want to have someone telling me who I should fight or who I should kill, because killing just because someone in a higher position tells me to is just hollow. If I kill someone or hunt someone down, I want to be able to say that I chose to do it, not that the Raikage handed a mission to you that said this person needs to die. I want to protect people and take lives only when I choose to or when there's no other choice. I'd be willing to even leave if only to achieve that type of goal, where it's all down to my choices and no one above saying it has to happen." Niji explained with a determined tone before crouching down and looking down the cliff-face.

"When I was clashing blades with that anti-shinobi guy who was trying to kill us here, as we fell we argued a bit about which of our sides was right, only when we hit the ground did we get to our conclusion and it hit me as hard as we hit the floor... All us Shinobi do really is conduct war and kill one another, some times civilians get caught in the collateral damage and lives that shouldn't have left us are lost. After that, when we were attacked near your little hideout, I knocked out some of the men we were fighting with, but I didn't kill anyone then. When you piled the bodies to burn them, I wanted to say something to get you to spare the ones I'd knocked out, but in that situation I couldn't bring myself to even try, sometimes I imagine that they woke up underneath the burning remains of their allies, unable to escape whilst slowly burnt to death." Niji was quieter than before now, maybe Shinichi couldn't see from where he was, but she was trying to fight back tears as she spoke with a voice just starting to crack with emotion.
"And the thoughts keep coming back to me! Sometimes I'll even be in their position whilst I'm dreaming, I don't even know how it feels, but the idea of being unable to escape and slowly burning alive... I still can't put it out of my mind, it kills me whenever I think that I could've asked you to spare the ones I'd knocked out, it wouldn't have mattered if you'd agreed or not, but if I'd at least asked I could've believed that I'd tried to help them... I've no idea if you understand how that feels, but for me it hurts and I don't know how to make such a pain go away.¬" For now she continued to stare down towards the base of the cliff, still on the verge of tears, she didn't know if he was going to respond in kind or not, perhaps he'd even scold her for all of this. She barely cared about that though, she was sure she deserved some scolding in the very least.

[solokolos]

Naoto Shiratori

Naoto pondered the question quietly, letting Kumoga answer her opinion. Although she would have to agree with Kumoga's answer, she wanted to add on to it a little bit, making sure a little part of it was clear. "I imagine you're going to test how good we're at killing people," Naoto said bluntly, her voice sweet and cheery. It was a bit unnerving how oblivious she seem as to what she was implying. Although killing people was eventually to become a reality, and maybe even a routine, Naoto's words and attitude didn't quite seem to match in this situation.

[Gerontis]

Gyuki,
The Eight Tails.

Laying more or less asleep, he had already knew that Midori was in trouble. But he figured already that his powers wouldn't be able to resist the poison. Besides, he saw no need to act out of his own. When Midori however asked if he could help, the beast growled. The low bass sound wouldn't boom through Midori's mind. She had already trouble with standing on her feet it seemed. ''I can't. This is poison.'' Gyuki told her. Keeping his eyes shut and not intending to get into action, he spoke again. ''Besides, I can't offer no help her. People still need to believe you tamed me, remember? If you would allow me to take over, that could... give the wrong idea.''

Snorting the monster ox became silent for a moment. Deidara who then moved to support her caused Gyuki to slightly open his eyes. ''There is an idea I can propose however.'' He mumbled.

[Gerontis]

Ryo Katsu,
Member of Team 4.

Hurrying up, Ryo managed to close the zipper of his jacket. Now dressed to go on a mission, he picked up the pace. It was ironic. He was the fastest of the team and yet he suspected he was going to be late. But he had eaten well, that was something he could say. If that que hadn't only been that long he would've been on time. Knowing that he shouldn't bring up that he had been too late, because he had waited for his turn as he only wanted to eat dangoes from his favorite dango shop, With being able to focus on his speed, Ryo raced through the streets before he took it up to the rooftops.

''Oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi...Whut?!'' He started to slide over a rooftop, as he wanted to stop. Barely had he made it in time to stop as he turned around. A grim expression covered his face as he felt an intense feeling. It was unlike anything before. Intense as it was, it was only briefly. ''I swear that I could...'' Looking at his right hand, Ryo frowned. Placing it on his forehead, he couldn't figure it out. What was that? Deciding to not spend any more time wasting on it, Ryo continued his way to the Hokage Office.

Reaching the place, he noticed Katsuko and Yumi were already there. Wait, Katsuko was already there? With his flak jacket? Gritting his teeth, Ryo felt that he being late would make it all just stranger. Maybe it was just a day where many things would be odd. ''Oi oi! Ryo Katsu, reporting in!'' Landing on the rooftop, he made a polite bow towards the Hokage assistant, though wondering why they weren't going to be briefed by the Hokage.

[ChromeHound]

Hayate Hyūzu
Konoha - Team 2

Seeing his targets drop as the explosive shuriken detonated in the middle of them, Hayate felt a small sense of relief. And then he saw Kensuke-sensei charging in... Suddenly, Hayate was hit with a deep feeling of shame. The jounin had felt the need to come in and save them, which meant that they were not acting like a team. Hayate could not deny the truth of the matter, but he was ashamed by his failure. He had been in worse positions before and come out unscathed, but now, in the middle of clearing out a group of measly bandits, he had been injured. The fact that it had been caused by a teammate was not the point. Gritting his teeth, Hayate scanned around for any more targets.

Kensuke had single-handedly cleared out most of the remaining bandits and, by Hayate's estimation, less than half remained. His gaze travelled to Ezuri, slightly impressed that the boy had managed to help fight, even while struggling against his injury. Hayate saw that Kensuke was taking care of the bandits near Ezuri and so he recalled the shadow clone that he had left by his teammate. His eyes darted back to Shisen and Arashi, who had managed to take down another bandit. His clone was engaged with another bandit, armed with an axe. As the real Hayate watched, his clone spun around behind the man and impaled him through the back with his staff. Knowing that his teammates were alright, Hayate headed towards Kensuke. It looked like there were only a few bandits left. Several of them charged Kensuke, hoping foolishly to take him with force of numbers alone.

Noticing a few of the bandits trying to escape, Hayate charged towards them. Pulling out two kunai, he overcharged them and sent them flying towards two of the escaping men. The kunai hit their marks and exploded, eviscerating two of the men. One of the men turned, his eyes filled with fright, just in time to see Hayate leaping towards him, his staff held out like a spear. Driving the staff through the man's chest, the force of the impact brought them to the ground. Pulling his staff from the man's dead body, Hayate didn't even give him a second look before heading towards the last of the escaping bandits. Throwing an overcharged kunai towards the last man, Hayate's aim was a little off, and the kunai embedded itself in the man's thigh before exploding. Howling in pain the bandit fell to the ground, his leg blown almost clean off. The man tried to crawl away from Hayate as he approached. Turning onto his back, the bandit tried to plead with Hayate, begging for his life. Staring into the man's face for a single moment, Hayate felt nothing--and then he thrust his staff downwards, straight through the man's heart.

Pulling the staff out, Hayate turned around and made his way back to his teammates. This whole thing was almost over.

[ChromeHound]

Reyna Azuma
Kumo - Team 13

After Deidara had arrived, everything had become confusing very fast for Reyna. First the random woman had appeared and announced that she was going to be taking over as their sensei temporarily, and then she had told them that they had been poisoned and needed to get the antidote. Reyna didn't understand. She felt fine but--quickly looking over at her teammates, she noticed that they were in bad shape. Forcing herself not to panic, Reyna considered her options. She could stay with her teammates and try to help them, but that would not accomplish anything without the cure. She could go after Asami, but the woman was a jounin, and Reyna would be no match for her... All that left was going for the bird and bringing back the antidote as quickly as she could. Turning her head back towards Midori and Deidara, she noticed that a mist had begun to form. "Midori, Deidara. I... I will get the cure and come back for you! Please stay safe until I get back. I will come as soon as I can!" Taking one last look at her teammates, Reyna steeled herself and then took off after the sparrow.

The bird's chirping had given her a location, but even so, she would have to be careful. Thinking quickly, Reyna tore off a piece of her shirt and fashioned it into a face-mask of sorts. It blocked the lower half of her face, and would hopefully prevent her from inhaling the sparrow's poison. Focusing her chakra, Reyna used her lightning aura to stimulate the nerves around her legs. She sprinted forwards, gaining much more speed than normal. As she was almost at the tree that Michi was perched, Reyna leaped forwards, her hands reaching for the antidote.

Her sudden burst of speed would likely surprise the bird, but Reyna still worried that he would have time to take off. As her hands reached out for the antidote, she let some of her lightning aura expand outwards past her hands, hoping that she might be able to hit the bird, giving it enough of a shock to slow it down.

[Mr Nim]

Tora Hatake

Looking at each of the three, she saw Takeshi introducing himself, plain and simple. When he shrugged on Tora's question, she figured that she can't take much knowledge about him from that. Kumogatarui answered the question, and she was very close. Then she turned to look at Naoto who claimed, plain and simple, that she will test them to see how well they kill people. While Tora was aware each shinobi in the village was meant to become a killing machine, she also knew that they were still genin, and thus, testing them right away on how good they are in killing wasn't going to happen. She first wanted to test them in how good they are in capturing someone and interrogating them.

"Kumoga, you are the closest to being correct. Naoto, I will do that, but not today. Today I'm going to see how well you do in capturing and interrogating someone." She said and then bit her thumb. Doing a few seals, she pressed her hand against the ground and after a small smoke cloud dispersed, a medium sized panther appeared, who looked at Tora and then at the three genin. Tora looked at her team as she tied something to the panther's tail before signaling to the it to go into the woods around the trainingfield "Your first training session is to find the panther and get the bells from its tail. Be aware, however, not everything is at it seems." She said in a cheerful tone and then leaned back on the tree behind her, waiting to see what they will do to catch Kakashi the panther. She had a shadow clone hidden from before the first student arrived, so she would be able to observe everything they did.

[Gerontis]

Koike Hon,
Konohagakure Genin | Team 8

Not looking like he was in a hurry, the neutral expression on Koike's face revealed nothing of his thoughts, emotions or such. Like he was perfectly calm, which he was. After all, he didn't really care for a new team mate. Having his reasons for that, he wouldn't mind to be polite, but that was the end of it. Even while he had managed to set a polite and some bit of friendly start with Mamoru, Koike had managed to prevent a bond with anybody. Only Aiko-sensei was so far one of the few he had a bond with. One he couldn't sever and truth be told : he saw no need in that.

Approaching the place that was set for the team to meet, Koike opened the door of the shop. Steeping inside, he briefly looked around. Spotting Aiko with another girl, with red hair, Koike closed the door behind him before walking towards the two. ''Aiko-sensei.'' Koike greeted her in a polite manner, nodding in her direction. The girl was also sent a nod, but Koike didn't introduce himself.

[LillyDove]

Team 8, Yukara Cho

Yukara felt like it was best to wait to talk about herself until more people showed up and sat down with Aiko Sensei calmly, waiting for her squad mates to show up. It seemed like forever when another person showed up and she greeted him with a smile on her face only to sent a meek little mod. That didn't bode well with her, she stood up and walked over to him, grabbing his hand and shaking it. "The names Yukara Cho, yours?" Yukara asked in a sugar sweet voice, her eyes on the other hand, were unyielding and determined to get her way. "It's only polite to introduce yourself you know, so stop being rude because it's unacceptable" she said firmly.

Going back to sit down next to Aiko Sensei again, her hands placed neatly in her lap and a sweet smile on her face. She turned to her sensei and asked "so what are we doing today?" She was prepared to do anything and everything under the sun, the light reflecting the red color in her eyes.

[Fieryfly]

Hisoka Uchiha

Hisoka grabbed the message and let his eyes dwell over the text as Sakamoto told his story. So Rika Suzu had been trying to get information too. That was not overly surprising. They had never met after all and you could always use more information about your neighbours and fellow leaders. He nodded along with the Senju's words, contemplating about them. When the man finished he rose up and walked back to the window. "Thanks, that will d-" He froze midstep and turned around, his eyes wide. Something had just shattered. HIs mind went in overdrive. How? How was this possible?

"Kyuubi's barrier." Was the only thing he said as he rushed past Sakamoto to the door. He slammed it open and stared in the face of Harumi. He didn't even blink twice, didn't question why she was here, but pushed her out of the way. "Find Meisa," he told her without looking back. His voice didn't sound rude. it sounded distressed. He could only think of one thing that would shatter that barrier and if what he feared was true than they had a severe problem. "tell her to find me at the hospital." With that he left her behind. Half way through the hall he turned again to Sakamoto who had undoubtedly followed him out of the room. "Alert the forces." He shot the man a look. "Something has just shattered the Kyuubi's barrier. We need to contain him again immediately." He said before rushing off towards the hospital. He had to know what happened.

[Fieryfly]

Ryoku Samidare and Eiji Emiya

With a concerned look Ryoku watched Rini and Sho interact with each other. If Sho kept acting like that he would keep pushing people away from him and on top of that he could actually hurt other people. Though Rini seemed to stand up to him now. Maybe she would find the courage and maybe that would change him. That would be good.

His musings were interupted by Hoshi who looked severly distressed about something. She urged him and Eiji to come. The red haired shinobi shot Kuni and Tora a last look but then followed his leader. Kuni would do well, he knew, even though she had never worked with the boy before. She was nice enough to help him out, to teach him.

Outside the bad news hit them. The Yonbi was coming for Amegakure. With a concerned look Eiji looked to Ryoku. That beast was a severe threat to the city and could destroy it if he wanted to. The Amekage looked just as troubled as Eiji himself. "We cannot let it reach the city and wreak havoc." Ryoku said immediately. "It would destroy too much and cost too many lives of the innocent. We need to either drive it away or capture it outside the city." He turned to Eiji. "I want all our Jounin gathered and ready to defend the city." He ordered his Assistant before turning to Hoshi. "We need our sealers might we... get an opportunity. Sealing it away is better then driving it away because we don't want it to come back." He said to her. "Please fetch them and move towards the beast. As I said we can't let it come too close."

He shot a look back to the arena where the Genin would be fighting. He pondered if he should stop them, but then again, they would not be able to help much with the fight against the beast. Maybe this was better for them. Let them concentrate on what they could do.

[j8cob]

Kira Sami

Before they could do much of a warm-up jog, Ryoku stopped them and introduced a new plan. Since there was another team there, something Kira hadn't noticed before it was pointed out, they were to do some sort of test. And as it would turn out, they were split into three groups of two to fight each other. This is moronic, Kira thought, looking at the kid she was to work with. She never met him before, or even seen him for that matter. But while her gaze was drifting across all the combatants, she heard Ryoku mention they would start immediately. A small smirk formed on her face as she reached for one of the fuuma shuriken on her back. But before she could throw it, there was some sort of fuss between Sho and Rini. Clearly, they weren't paying attention. Kira's smirk vanished as she jumped into the air without a word, tossing the fuuma shuriken to the side. Using a wire, she guided it in a wide arc that would let the blades slice both Sho and Rini if they did nothing. Shiro, on the other hand, seemed surprised by his teammates sudden move to action. So he was a bit delayed in his timing before he ran toward the other team, whom also seemed to not be paying attention.

[Fieryfly]

Sho Deshuga

What the actual fuck? So the wimp could speak? Now that was at least something though she didn't have to shout so much. It was fucking annoying and he didn't even bother with actual listening. There was something flying to his face. Sho moved his head sideways to dodge it and caught Kira's move, she was already attacking. Sho pulled his hand back without hesitation and punched Rini full in the face so that she would go down and slide backwards, effectively dodging the fuuma shuriken by pushing her out of its curved arc. Sho scoffed. He didn't know any of Rini's capabilities except for the fact that she was clumsy and generally looked useless. While Sho was not someone to judge strength on appearance - his dad had proved that - he did judge someone on first impressing and really, she sucked.

"Let's do this." He muttered as he rushed forward with considerable speed to meet Kira as she was still on her way back to the ground. As he ran he gathered chakra and send a wave of Gunshots Kira's way, hoping to guide her to the place he wanted her to land: close to him so he could actually properly lay a blow on her.

[Mr Nim]

Hoshi Miwa and ANBU agents

Hoshi nodded at what Ryoku said. He wanted to seal the beast rather than keep it out. That was a good plan. It could also give them a nice advantage in the future, but that was if they successfully caught the Yonbi "I'm gonna go get all the sealers I can and alert the jounins I see to come aid you." She said and quickly left the area, knowing they haven't got much time, and she wondered what made the beast suddenly come in Amegakure's direction.

As the people leading the Yonbi approached Ame, they would suddenly see dozens of kunai and shurikens that come across their faces and would hit them unless they came to a complete stop. About 6 Ame ANBU agents, who all went in the direction of the Yonbi as a first line of defence against it, saw the people leading it, and were in a bit of distance away from the Yonbi and the people, allowing them to retreat and keep attacking if they were forced to, but their fiirst strategy was to make the Yonbi stop.

Two ANBU agents went in to Yonbi's directions, and both shot a water whip at the giant beast, trying to catch its leg and attention, so it would stop chasing the other people and focus on them instead.

[GlitchyBugger]

Kumogatarui Dobustu

Kumoga was right? Or at least the closest to being right anyway, Naoto may have been more bloodthirsty than she had once judged upon initial sight whilst Takeshi still didn't seem to be one for conversation. But the spider-loving girl didn't dwell on it for long as Hatake-Sensei explained what they would do this training session and summoned a panther to assist her in beginning the training. When she tied something to the panther's tail, Kumoga paused and put a moment's thought into just how difficult their sensei intended to make it for them. They had to retrieve the bell from the panther after catching it... But not everything was to be as it seemed, right? And there was no interrogation part to capturing an animal and simply removing an object from it's tail.

"Is there nothing more to this task, sensei? I don't see what part of this includes interrogation if all we need to do is acquire the bells from the panther's tail..." Unless of course, the bells were not in fact on the panther's tail and they had to somehow get the true location of the bells from the panther in whatever means possible, although Kumoga suspected that if she were in Sensei's position, she'd keep the bells on her person and then use the panther as a decoy. But they were to do what sensei told them to do for now, which was capturing the panther and getting the bells. So timidly she looked to her team mates. "I have an idea... But I'll need you two to work with me, if that's okay with the both of you. I can explain it when we start chasing the panther." She was pretty confident in her plan, although she hoped she was up to the task in the end, it didn't seem like either of these two wanted to call the shots right now after all.

[solokolos]

Naoto watched her sensei closely as Hatake explained that the training on how to kill would have to wait. She seemed a bit disappointed, but when Hatake explained they would first have to learn how to track and interrogate someone, she perked up. Naoto examined the panther closely after Hatake preformed the handseals to summon it and tied two bells to it's tail. She didn't see how this could be that difficult, but Hatake promised everything wasn't as it seemed, and she trusted her sensei.
Kumoga seemed quite good at asking the right questions, as her question about there being anymore to this test was definitely going to be useful information when answered. When she asked for Naoto and Takeshi's help, Naoto smiled, "Okay, I'll help you," she said excitedly, then she turned to Hatake, and asked, "Is it against the rules to burn this forest to the ground?" Naoto's face made it clear she wasn't joking.

[Lesli]

Aiko Cho-Hon,
Jounin-sensei of Konohagakure Team 8.

Aiko took another sip of her tea as she observed the situation in front of her. The woman had noticed that Koike was still the same. Wondering how the newest addition to the team would react, Aiko gained her answer soon enough. But instead of telling Yukara that his name was Koike, she already stood up and shook his hand, telling him that it was rude to not introduce himself properly. The lips of Aiko slowly started to curl down, a bit. Unlike Yukara, she was more than aware why Koike acted like that. The pain that had been inflicted when she had first found out about her student's choice on what kind of path he would go slowly drifted up. It wouldn't only be shown on the surface.

''His name is Koike Hon, my best student. Longest member of Team 8, being there when the team was assembled for the first time.'' Aiko friendly informed Yukara. The woman already knew that Koike wouldn't suddenly start to show any other behavior because he was called rude. Even while Yukara wouldn't understand it fully, as there was whole story behind why Koike acted like that, it wasn't the time or the place to start about that. Emptying her mug, Aiko stood up from her seat. ''But we're going to do some training. Come. no need to waste any day light!'' Placing some money down the table for the bill, she would lead her genins to the door. Once from there, she would head to the training fields, going as a typical shinobi. Over the rooftops in a good pace.

[Mr Nim]

Sakamoto Senju

Nodding as the man begun speaking, Sakamoto was surprised to see something made him stopped, and the expression on Hisoka's face became a worried, mixed with surprise and fear. He got up as the Uchiha turned around and then quickly got up and walked to the door, opening it to reveal Harumi. Sakamoto gave her a slight nod as he passed by her, right after Hisoka gave him her new orders. He easily caught up with the Hokage and listened to what he told him.

Now it was Sakamoto's turn to become worried. Who could break the barrier Hisoka placed around the Kyuubi's host, who was inside a coma at the hospital. The expression on his face would now turn into a thoughtful, but also scared one "You don't think he is involved? What reason would anyone have to take the Kyuubi's host? He said before nodding his understanding on Hisoka's orders to him. He quickly left the Hokage's side and moved in a different direction, heading to where he knew most of the jounins could be found, where he would alert them and tell them to do a wide search around the village and the area around it, up to 5 kilometers in each direction. He knew he wasn't the one to give orders like that, but it was an emergency, and they had to find the Kyuubi's host before something worse happens.

Sakamoto had a single worried thought in his head, running nonstop. Just a few months ago Nakashima was there, and he escaped after being in a coma and under constant watch. Did he get a chance to see where the Kyuubi's host was at? No, Nakashima would have no reason to want the Kyuubi. He didn't want revenge on the village. He wanted revenge on Zakito and him, as far as he knew.

Deciding to move that thought aside, he moved with several jounin around Konoha, before those split, all having their earphone communicators, and as each one joined, they reported themselves to be active and on the go. Sakamoto placed his own earphone communicator and made sure it was set to the right channel "Sakamoto Senju, active. We must not let the Kyuubi's host vanish." He said, remembering the exact words Hisoka told him. He heard as other jounins joined the channel and requested information on the situation, so Sakamoto quickly filled them in, repeating the explanation as many times as he found was needed.

[AlterNathan]

Fujiwara Takeshi

Takeshi looked at his sensei and to his two teammates, he was good with girls but he still felt a minority in the company of three of them. He looked at the panther, made eye contact with it and smiled. Takeshi liked animals. Then Hatake-sensei tied two bells to its tail and told them to retrieve them, she also said nothing was as it seemed. Well, that could mean lots of things; Weren't the bells at the panthers tail, could the panther make shadow clones? Takeshi raised a hand and asked a plain but simple question, in his opinion the only necessary thing he needed to know "will it attack us?"

Then the spider girl leaned in to Takeshi and Naoto, she seemed to have a plan, something she would explain as they got on their way. Well, let's go get us some panther Takeshi gestured with his head t the forest, in the direction the panther went and raised his eyebrows as if he were to ask 'Shall we go then?'

Hyuuga Ezuri

Ezuri was getting dizzy, the pain in his leg was excruciating. He looked at his teammates if any of them needed some long-range support. Kensuke-sensei seemed to be fine, Hayate did a good job and even the shy Inuzuka girl was helping a great deal. Now not only his leg but also his hart hurt, he felt useless and if he wanted to be anything but that. Most of the bandits were dead by this time and Ezuri could only find one more to kill, throwing his last four shrunken at the mans back before losing consciousness.
