==Participants==
Akiyo Yuki, Kazu Hozuki, Katsuro Uchiha
==The Squad Meets for the First Time==
LightFang: -Akiyo would be sitting at the main training field set within the boundary of the village. He would be sitting on one of the lard boulders used to add different terrains to the field. His eyes would be glancing over a letter he had recieved via a carrier pidgeon earlier that day. It would read "On this day you, Akiyo Yuki, will begin your life as a shinobi of the village hidden in the mist. A hard journey awaits you, however, you will not be alone for the first steps into your life as a shinobi. You have two team mates with you, Katsuro Uchiha and Kazu Hozuki. This letter is to summon you and the other two members of your team to training field 1 as soon as you recieve this. From there your orders are to meet each other and become aquainted. Make haste." The letter also came with ninja info cards on his two team mates that showed pictures and known stats about the two. Not very impressive stats but they had all just recently graduated to being genin. Akiyo would have seemed to be the first to arive and was now just waiting for the other two, who he knew also recieved the same letter, to show up. He would fold the letter up , stuff it in his ninja tool pouch, and lay back on the boulder as he waited impatiantly-
Thanatophilism: -Kazu would come clumsily running down the field with his arm in the air giving a wave to the boy sitting on the boulder. He stumpled a few times catching his balance before tripping. As he approches the boy sitting on the boulder her trys to stop himself mid run but falls over hitting his face on the ground at the bottem of the boulder where the boy sat. Kazu stood up and dusted off his clothes reachng into his puch pulling out a letter and holding it up. He also pulled out the info cards inspecting them to figure out who the boy in front of him was. He placed his hand on his forehead rubbing the spot of impact gave a smile and spoke with excitement in his voice "I am Kazu Hozuki nice to meet you!" He would then sit at the bottem on the boulder with his back pressed against it looking out into the field for a sign of his other teammate-
CastielCaoin: Strolling through the town he came to its edge, Katsuro would walk along the path and realise he seen two people at a distance, same age as himself, reaching into his pocket he felt the letter he had recieved by pigeon and he held it up to give it a read, - Two others,- he said silently as he continued walking up the path taking the apple in his other hand to his lips to take a bite. The apple was crisp for this time of season as he replaced the letter in his pocket, looping his hand around to check his tools, this he did often for you never knew when you might need them, and coming from the uchiha clan, you were known as fierce fighters. He continued to walk the path and chose a different path along the feild as he moved closer to the group, seeing the one boy wave hands sparatically at the other as he ran and the other boy up on the boulder. - Hello- He said politely as he took in one boys name and he waited for a moment before saying - Katsuro Uchiha- just his name, being he didnt talk much this wouldnt change the situation.-
==No, I'll be the Leader!==
LightFang: -Akiyo would push himself off of the boulder landing just infront of the boy who hit the floor a moment ago. "I am Akiyo Yuki and I guess you two are my team mates then." Akiyo would look over the hozuki and make a couple silent assessments. 'This kid seems to be a bit clumsy, running over here and tripping over his own feet.' He thought, 'How did this one even become a ninja. And him..' His gaze would shift to the uchiha boy as he began to assess him,'He seems rather distant from everything, it kinda creeps me out.' Akiyo was a bit confused on why the higher ups decided these three needed to be on a team together with their very different personalities. He would sigh and shrug his arms "So if we are gunna be on a team together then obviously one of us will have to be the leader. I nominate me, any objections?" Akiyo would just continue talking without waiting for a response to his question, "Good now then what shall we do first."-
Thanatophilism: -Kazu would stand up and look at Akiyo and scoff "If anyone is going to be the leader it should be me!" he would place his hands behind his head and cock a smile "I may be a bit clumsy and over excited but I do my best." He would then look at the other boy then back at Akiyo "Maybe we should have some sort of contest or something to figure out who will be the leader."- 
CastielCaoin: Katsuro would watch as leaders were being discussed and he just hopped up onto the rock and continued to eat his apple. Once reaching the core he tosses it behind him knowing it wont hurt the area around him as he looked back to them with his black blank eyes and sighed lightly waiting for the bickering to end as the idea of a contest had come up, would have been fun but in the end he was just to lazy to pipe up right away and wanted to stay quiet -
==Let's Fight for it Then==
LightFang: -His eyes would narrow as he leaned closer to Kazu. "Are you challengeing my leadership quality?" Akiyo would turn around and take five steps away from the hozuki before turning back to face him. " So i guess if there are objections the only thing to do is to fight over who gets to lead. Three way free for all, winner become the leader of Squad 1" Akiyo would stuff his right hand in his tool pouch and glance up at the tree that the uchiha was sitting in. "Ready, GO!" His hand would flash out of his pouch so quickly that the 2 senbon would hardly be noticed thrown at the boy in the tree. These were aimed to attempt to strike Katsuro in the arm one above the other by a distance of 2 inches. There was enough force behind them to go at least an inch into the skin if they were to hit. Following this movement Akiyo would lean back and, turning on his right foot, dash off to cover behind the boulder he was previously seated on.-
Thanatophilism: -Kazu would jump backwards in order to stay away from an attack. In mid air he reached inside his tool pouch for a kunai only to relize he had forgetten his tools at home. Trying not to panic due to the lack of tool Kazu relized he would have to try and fight head on with his fist. He pushed forward with force as his feet hit the ground dashing towards the boulder Ayiko had taken cover behind. He would land on the other side of it looking to spot Akiyo to face him head on. as he landed he replyed to Akiyos earlier question.- "Yes I am challenging your leadership quality. Why should you become the leader rather then anyone else?"
==Strong Start==
CastielCaoin: Katsuro would be watching the movements of both of them and if he didn’t realize the hand going back to the tool pouch of Akiyo, suddenly his voice said to GO, with that word he knew if he didn’t move one of them would attack him and it just so happened his eyes that were locked on Akiyos hand was the main attack, Two senbon which for his eyes being he hadn’t unlocked his best ability yet, he was stuck with normal black pupil eyes. He would roll backward along the tree branch as he fell to the ground the senbon flying above his head as he fell. He would slip his hand into his pouch and pulled out a kunai, two of them as one of them was thrown into his right hand before he landed, once on the ground he pushed off and used some speed from his fall to take off towards him as he threw the kunai at Akiyo, hearing kazu near Akiyo he ended up throwing the kunai to the side of the boulder hitting the ground. He would make a release sign as the wrapping of the kunai light up and a small explosion was set off from a concealed bomb tag he thought was smart to hide under his kunai handle wrapping. It was in the ground just visible to the back side of the boulder but pretty far off still compared to a direct hit, if they didn’t move they would be blown backward and possibly suffer very minor burns, but would still make it uncomfortable to move and hopefully they would be concussed. He then stood in ready position waiting for the smoke from the bomb to clear as he held the other kunai ready and close to his face.
LightFang: -Akiyo would be slightly shocked by the boldness of the Hozuki kid. The kid seemed to have gotten arround to the other side of him and instead of attacking him while his gaurd was focused else where he had called out to him. Akiyo would turn to stare back at Kazu, however his perifrial vision would notice the kunia hit the ground to the side of the boulder. Akiyo would raise his arms in a shrug and reply to Kazu, "Isn't it obvious that I'm the most qualified?" As he finished his sentance the bomb from Katsuro would go off and seem to hit him as intended. However as the smoke cleared the others would see a log rolling away in the opposite direction of the blast. Akiyo had used a substitution jutsu to conceal himself within the bamboo shoots arround the training site. From where he was he could see both Katsuro and Kazu, but hopefuly they couldnt see him. While he had the moment he would raise his hands into the ram seal. He would flow from that seal into a snake seal, and finally end it with a tiger seal. This would form a perfect clone of himself that would fade into existance out of the sight of the other two genin. The clone would be sitting in the same tree that katsuro was just in, without much covering it. It would reach into its pouch and draw a kunai as it called out to Katsuro, "Looking for me?!" It would jump from the tree and land in front of Katsuro. Combined with this it would take the kunai held backward in its right hand and attempt for a swiping slash on Katsuro from a top right to bottom left type arc. The attack itself would be a bluf since this clone was not tangible but Akiyo was simply hoping it would put Katsuro on the defencive enough for him to go on the attack.-
Thanatophilism: -Kazu would jump backwards away from the exsplosion barely escaping the blast. Although the shockwave of the blast would push him back as he landed on his feet and he would fall to the ground on his ass. He the stood back up looking around for the other two to look for an opening. As he noticed the Akiyo about to strike Katsuro he dash forward to another boulder closer to the two ducking behinding it watching them waiting for the perfect time to leap out and attack.-
CastielCaoin: He would wait for the smoke to clear as he would watch the log roll out, and watch as the other boy, Kazu, sliding out and fall over. He wouldn’t phase a little bit because any change in stance could open him up when out of nowhere in the tree he was in was Akiyo, or so he thought due to the clone. He would watch the clone jump down to do the slash and go to meet the boy in midswing with his other kunai as he would find himself going through the clone and it just disappeared, with this he followed through and ended up out of his stance and open to attack, still with the kunai up and ready though. He looked around stunned wondering where Akiyo would be as he gripped the kunai hard in his fist.
==Clone Combat==
LightFang: -Akiyo would see as Katsuro reached for a kunai to parry the incoming attack. He would bite his lip and raise his hands knowing the clone was about to be had and form the seals Ram, Snake, Tiger, once more. He would form a second clone that he would have jump out from some nearby bushes and have it charging at Katsuro head on as he would be stunned from following through an attack when he expected the clash. Akiyo would ready three senbon in his hand as he had the clone do the same. He had the clone throw out the senbon toward Katsuro as he himself threw his own senbon in unison. Using the clone as a cover for his senbon he would have the fake senbon fade into the real senbon to only show 3 senbon coming at Katsuro. Using this he planned to make Katsuro think this clone was real since the senbon were real. The senbon were all three aimed at the exposed side of Katsuro's body the normaly would lie under his arm. One aimed for between the second and third rib, one between the forth and fifth, and one for the middle of the side of his lower upper body. All three of these were pressure points and the one between the second and third rib could be fatal hoever there wouldnt be enough force behind these to go in far enough to peirce his heart to make it fatal, only about an inch deep is as far as they could go in.-
Thanatophilism: -Sitting from behind the boulder he took cover he kept a close eye on the fight noticing that it was in fact a clone engaging Katsuro he would look around around for the real Akiyo. Seeing Akiyo dash from the bushes Kazu took it as his chance to attack. He would dash from behind the boulder he was hidden behind and charge at Akiyo. As he jjumped from behind the boulder placeing his feet on the grould he would push off with force and charge at Ayiko. Mid dash he cocked his arm back getting ready to strike. As he came upon Akiyo he would swing forward with full force hoping his fist would connect-
CastielCaoin: Katsuro got back on his footing as he looked around he seen another clone but to him it was Akiyo come from the reeds. His eyes moved towards the now moving senbon at him to the Kuzu charging toward the Akiyo clone, Even if he made contact it wouldn’t matter seeing as the senbon were already thrown, he quickly signs- Ram → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake- causing a log to appear when the last set of senbon hit. The first set just disappearing. He would then watch as his own log would roll a little on the ground until the senbon hit the ground and he looked around from a perch in the tree near the field, trying to find the person who threw the senbon, he now had a general direction where to look as he took the kunai in his right hand and through it straight out into the reeds, releasing the paper bomb on the kunai and causes a kick back and breaks most of the reeds down in the immediate area making a nice clear area, being it was the general direction of where the senbon came from if he didn’t move he would more then likely get blown back if not damaged by the flames. 
==Learning from Allies==
LightFang: -Akiyo would watch from his vantage point as Kazu jumped into an offencive on Akiyo's clone. His clone haveing obviously seen the head on encounter would swiftly duck under the full force punch and reach its left hand into its right kunai pouch. It would take out a kunai and raise its arm as if to slice for the neck of Kazu. This would be a fake out to draw his attention since the clone was obviously intangible. The real attack would be a kunai thrown from the real Akiyo in the brambles of bamboo. He had taken a page of Katsuro's book and wraped a paper bomb around the handle of his kunai before he had thrown it a foot in front of Kazu and his clone. It would stick into the ground and Akiyo would form a one handed tiger seal to egnite the papaer bomb. If Kazu failed to react in time this paper bomb could injure him enough that he would seem to hardly be a threat anymore, by causing many minor burns and a bit of concussive damage similar to being hit in the chest with a sledge hammer. After forming the sign Akiyo would catch a glint out of the corner of his eye. He would turn to see it was a kunai thrown by Katsuro, 'Did he see me?' Remembering the way he used the kunai and explosive tag combo earlier, Akiyo would quickly lay flat on the ground behind the thick row of bamboo. The initial explosion would ba taken mainly by the bamboo shoots infront of him, though most would give breaking about midway up. The bamboo would fall over Akiyo's body making slight discomfort but due to his quickly laying down flat most of the force would pass through his body and be absorbed into the ground allowing him to take the hit without much of the force. He would crawl out of the bamboo branches and stand in the center of the cleared out area looking directly at Katsuro. "Nice try, It will take more than a silly fire cracker." He would call out as he brushed a bit of dirt from his shirt.-
==One Down, One to Go==
Thanatophilism: -Kazu would lean forward in the air as the clone dissapeared flipping frontwards. As he landed on his feet he noticed the tagged kunai hitting the ground around his feet, he would then bring his arms to his chest crossing them to try and shield someof his body from the blast. As soon as his arms were crossed to his chest the flames from the exsplosion engulf his body and the and the force from the exsplosion would send him flying backwards. His body would tumble across the ground then come to a stop a few feet away from th point of exsplosion. His gloves and arm protectors burnt off and him arms having minor burn on them and most of his clothes torn up. Kau with a short of chuckle would speak lowly "Well played' as he would try to stand but fall down to a knee "I think I have lost this one"-
CastielCaoin: Watches from his tree as he threw the kunai that another kunai had flown from the bamboo brush, he watched as the other boy, kuzu got bombed, He stood in the tree and watched as he blew a hole in the bamboo and the other boy, Akiyo, but before he got fully out of the brush he grabbed two more kunai and quickly threw them to either side of him so when they blew he would be right in the center of the two blasts. As they were just about to land and he would be just about to talk about his aim, he would make the symbol for release, causing both kunai to fire at once. If he was caught in the middle he would be blasted back into the bamboo being so close to the explosion, his body would burn as well. Being the kunai were thrown as he was crawling out of the bamboo brush when his head was down he wouldn’t have long to dodge the attack, in his head as he did the attack he would reminisce on how people would call the Uchiha a cold hearted clan, he almost felt like it was true. He didn’t care if he got leadership he just wanted to win, as the explosions would go off he would pull out an untagged kunai and hold it in his right hand and wait for the results-
LightFang: -Akiyo would have easily noticed the two kunai thrown at him since he was facing directly at the one that threw them. He knew that both of them would easily miss him and land on either side of him as he climbed out of the branches. And since he stepped out to the center of the clearing before speaking they were both placed well behind him by the time he spoke. When he saw Katsuro go to form the seal needed to ignite the bombs Akiyo would lean forward and lift his left leg of the ground. The blast would hit to his back and Akiyo would take off in a full sprint. Akiyo's clan is known for there speed but adding the force of the explosion to his speed Akiyo was racing off at such a high speed that when he reached the tree Katsuro was standing in he took to running up the trunk of the tree and raising his right arm to throw out a full force punch aimed for the chin of the uchiha kid. Akiyo would put his full force into this punch combined with the speed behind his running lead into the punch. This should give the hit enough strength to knock Katsuro into the air about three feet and force him to fall the added 10ft off the branch he was on to the ground. A full 13 foot fall combined with a hell of an upper cut. If that didnt leave Katsuro out then Akiyo would need to start getting creative.-
==Getting Creative==
CastielCaoin: Katsuro would watch as instead of taking the hit, the boy used the concussive blow to propel himself forward and he would watch as Akiyo would begin to run up the base of the tree, he would attempt to dodge but would be too slow, as he went to drop down and backward his kunai free arm got hit by the fist, not quite a graze but not a full on blow sending his arm up above his head, using this to his advantage, he would jab his other hand forward, behind his opponent was right in front of him it would be hard to miss, he aimed for a non lethal part of the body, he was still his teammate in the end. He aimed for the stomach on the right side, His other arm would fall back down whether or not he hit him with the kunai and he would quickly make sure nothing was broke, in checking this he realised he may have pulled a muscle or maybe a very small hairline crack, he wasn’t sure. Either way after his attack he would fall backwards or land on his feet, jumping back over and over to get some good distance between the two of them.
LightFang: -Feeling his fist colide powerfully into the arm of his opponent Akiyo would give a slight grin just before he notice the kunai in his hand. The kunai came fast and Akiyo only had a slight moment to react by turning his body sideways. This failed to fully dodge the stab as he was still graized on his left side and left his shirt cut slightly open. "Ah! Damn it, You ripped my favorite shirt!" Akiyo would reach into his pouch and draw six senbon placing three in his other hand. "Now your really gunna get it!" Leaping out of the tree toward Katsuro he would send out the 6 senbon all aimed to strike around the upper torso area and thrown with enough force to pierce atleast two inches if any of them hit. He didnt give much though as to specific points to aim at however his upper body was the generic target. As Akiyo landed on the ground he would hit it with a roll and grab two kunai from his pouch, tossing one into his other hand mid roll. Using the senbon as a way to slow down Katsuro he would be attempting to keep this as a close range battle. He would close in after the senbon had hit and go for a slicing attack by crossing his two kunai in an "X" like patern over Katsuro's midsection. This would attempt to cause severe wounds over the torso of Katsuro causeing him some major blood loss. If the full force of this attack landed then Katsuro would definately need to seek medical attention to treeat the wounds and blood loss.-
CastielCaoin: He would watch as he ripped the shirt and fell backward landing on the ground hoping back ward to get some distance between them as he watched his opponent the entire time. He held the kunai in his hand as he kept moving, the senbon would be aimed for where he would be as he just narely dodged them, his shirt behind ripped by two of them that went just under his arm and over his shoulder. He realised that this was just really a distraction to him as he watched akiyo come out of the roll and run at him. He would bring the kunai up and as he got close, katsuro would raise his hand and block just one of the kunai as he dove to the side, the other kunai catching him on the shoulder and ran down the length of his arm causing a semi deep but very long cut down his right arm. Katsuro would watch as blood dropped from his arm and he fell to a knee and said- You win, now get me to the medical nin- He said being quite blunt with how he talked, he was in pain which was the real reason he was being blunt but he knew if this wasnt fixed he could lose an arm let alone his life. He would stand and slowly begin to walk off as he exited the field, wondering if either of his teammates would help him-
==A Teammate in the End==
LightFang: - As his first kunai was blocked he knew that Katsuro had no answer for the second as it began to run down his arm. The cut opened enough of his arm to spill blood and Akiyo could see he wouldnt be able to use that arm anymore. However he was kinda suprised when the uchiha gave up. He would put away his kunai by pacing them back in his pouch. "I told you guys not to question my leadership ability." Akiyo would let out a chuckle before noticing Katsuro starting to limp off of the training field. "HEY WAIT!" Akiyo would call as he started to go to help him but before that he turned to Kazu. "Hold on one second." He would throw Kazu's left arm over his shoulder and help to lift him up and walk him over to Katsuro. Once at Katsuro Akiyo would take his right arm over his shoulder aswell and lead them both down the path to the infirmary. "Dont worry guys, I can bear the weight of this squad. I swear that, on my life...."-
--At the end of this is was decided that Akiyo Yuki would be the leader of Squad One--
--Kazu and Katsuro were both treated for their wounds and should both be fully opperational for further fights--
--Katsuro did not suffer a hair line fracture as he feared, just little bruising to the bone--
