It would be a surprise if this team managed to keep itself together - yet, it managed to. A big, wonderful surprise that had kept Usagi firmly suspicious of both Sakana and Tsukiko. Kamui seemed... manipulable, not a manipulator - a strange sensation that kept being a focus for Usagi. Even when they moved, following after Kamui - their sensor-nin - who guided them towards a group of enemies which had apparently separated from one another. Eventually, Tsukiko used a technique that made her entirely invisible to the naked eye. Usagi had no means of tracking her down that way and thus, she felt slightly... unsafe. What if Tsukiko attacked one of them instead of their foe?

Nah. She couldn't possibly be that honorless. Apparently, they were getting close, which prompted Usagi to unsheathe her sword. They had a sensor-nin as well which already knew that they were coming, so it was highly possible that they would run into something... unwanted. Sakana increased his pace and Usagi did the same - she'd land roughly a second after him, as the natural utilization of Wind Step to propel her forward faster gave her a considerable boost in speed. Especially when traveling.

Finally, they meet their opposition. Sakana was blunt - a quick, uncaring statement that they would need their scrolls. Reasonable. The other nin, however, wasn't extremely smart. After brief, useless petty talk, he stated both of their scrolls were stolen by their own teammates and that that his partner was fleeing already. A lie? Or he was just trying to distract them? Either way, Usagi was quick to move ahead of her team, holding her katana in a reverse grip. Her chakra flowed into the sword, increasing it's potency and range - she held it in a reverse grip with her right hand. The left, formed a half fist - with her index and middle finger curled slightly, the thumb open, and the ring and pinkie finger closed. By her stance, a shinobi should tell that she was no stranger to kenjutsu - neither taijutsu.

"How can we possibly know you speak the truth? You better prove it, since as you can see, there is three of us.
And we need the scrolls." Usagi said three because she wasn't entirely sure if Tsukiko was around or not - at any rate, she was already moving straight in Kurin's direction - least she was stopped by one of her teammates.

Does anyone have any idea where @Achronum and @Project are?

@HueMan

Around. Sorry for not posting yet, I've been quite busy as of late.

My girlfriend is moving to my house and I've been helping her with that as well as organizing stuff in my house. So, yeah.

Naruto: Revival

Do I have to post yet? Heh.

Naruto: Revival

Well in all honesty I don't really care about what happens ICly as long as it's a good read and something enjoyable.

So just tell me what it will be and I will roll with it.

On another matter, if someone wants an encounter with Yuu - who by all means is entirely alone and moving without any effort of hiding his presence - I kindly ask to contact me. It'd feel rather boring to go through yet another part of the exam unscathed due to lack of opportunity.

✧ Talrae ✧ (LOOKING FOR CO-GM)

I've been trying to make a post but I'm kinda blocked, heh. Idk what to do with aura right now.

Naruto: Revival

I'll post when @Project has posted. And no, teams aren't seperated.

@Odin

I think you should post then

To say Usagi wasn't caught off guard would be a lie. She didn't lean down to pick up the scroll as she knew it could be a trap to lower her guard, but Sakana was quite resourceful and a very quick thinker - he didn't simply avoid her attack, but he saved Kamui from it and managed to stop Tsukiko in her tracks. Thing is, he wasn't attacking - he was trying to reason with her. Usagi was a peaceful shinobi who didn't often vouch for violence, but the moment Tsukiko so quickly attacked was the moment she lost trust in the team as a whole. Everyone fought with the objective of becoming a jounin - and while Sakana was right on the four of them being ragtags, Usagi couldn't help but wonder how long it'd take for Tsukiko to stab their back again.

That and Sakana seemed too smart. Too smart to be good. His positiveness didn't mesh well together with the rest of his... persona. Usagi kept her sword in her hand at all times, ready to flow her chakra into it and move into a fight should the need arise - but for now, it seemed as if the three others were on standby. Eventually, Usagi took a deep breath and sheathed her blade, relaxing her stance and posture in general. Was this it, then? She'd collaborate, even if only until someone else decided to move against their own team. She hoped the fact that she seemed to drop her stiffened stance and sheathed her sword was enough to show that she was willing to work together again. Truth be told, Usagi was alert now - and every suspicious move would unleash her and she wouldn't hold back a second time. A backstabber needs no second chance.

ᒍᑌᑎᗪO, Yᑌᑌ

_{Time: One day before the Jounin exam | Location: Konohagakure's Forest of Death.}

Yuu was late. As a result, he moved onto the second part of the exam without competing in the first. As a result, he already had generally lower chances than the rest - at least, that was what he assumed. The change of scenery happened in a flash - in a moment, he was waiting in the arena. At the other, he was in the Forest of Death, with instructions to bring two scrolls to the center in order to succeed. Since he had a scroll of his own, this meant that he'd need to find someone in here and take their own - and certainly, no one would handle their scroll without a fight, so, things must be done, right?

As a result of his intense training, Yuu was particularly agile and fast. Moving through the forest would be quick, but he couldn't exert himself to avoid becoming too tired or to avoid fatigue in general. He'd need everything in order to take someone's scroll. So, Yuu moved carefully - yet at a steady pace - through the woods. For all he knew, there was a possibility that he was being tracked or sensed through some technique or another already, but as long as he was prepared, he could face everything.

<Snipped quote by Ithradine>

Whenever your character has enough experience for a level (100 exp for the first, 150 for the second, 225 for the third, and so on) shoot a PM to HueMan and he'll tell you what your character received for that level.

@TaroAndSelia

Hell, I totally missed that. I just assumed we got 5 attributes and 10 skill points every level and went with that, somehow. I might've confused myslef lol

Naruto: Revival

With that last post, does it means that the teams have been separated as well?

Naruto: Revival

Still waiting on @J8cob and @Project ://///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

@Odin

I'm waiting on j8 before I post, tho...
