## Bell Test Pt. 2

Necrose: - Ryo stood there still waiting and watched as the man began to do his work, a few strands of his hair fell down in his face and he pushed them back with his hands, as his new sensei finally spoke and gave him instruction. Ryo handed him the items he asked for and bent his knees getting down in a squatting position watching as the other boy was treated for his wounds. Once the wounds had been treated Ryo stayed in his squatting position as the made got to his feet and just stood there looking them up and down. Ryo just stared at the man in return. After awhile the man began to speak of his plans on testing the squad, Ryo stood to his feet and listened to the man as he twirled his lollipop around in his mouth. As the bell jingles Ryo's eyes grew wider, this was going to be his first interaction and a time from him to prove himself not only to his new sensei but himself as well. As the man flipped away and tied the bells to his waist Ryo bent his knees slightly pressing his feet flat onto the ground ready to start, he took a quick glance over to his teammate and thought to himself, "I don't know what he is capable of... Better let him make the first move and come up with something to sync up with him." after the thoughts ran through his head the words "The test begins now." rang throughout the area, as soon as they hit Ryo's ears his body began to flicker and disappeared. He reappeared behind a bush in the training area and squatting down trying to avoid being seen, he reaches his hand back into one of the Shinobi pouches on his lower back grasping a kunai from inside of it and bringing it to his chest holding the handle tightly in his hand the blade sticking out from the back of his hand ready to defend an attack or make one. -

Guest\_ZeroScarletdeth: - Ryota would get up putting the eye patch on over the bandages as he would look to his sensei with his one reptile like orange eye as he would then nod in understanding as he would get up slowly and his eye would grow more sharp showing he was getting serious as he would get into a classic Hachurui fighting stance. His arms slightly apart and bent in front of him with his fingers spread apart and as points could be seen in his sleeves as if he had the sharp scales of a alligator. He would watch his sensei as he would then quickly bend down and slam his left hand into the ground and would yell. - "Earth Style: Earthquake Palm!" - The ground would begin to shake as cracks would form from his hand going towards his opponent as the ground would begin to fall making a small ravine aiming to trip his sensei up trusting that his new partner could do something to fight him. -

AsuraOninoyume: - Akame smiled as she laughed a little her Byakugan active watching her sensei and her team mates move brushing her hair out of her eyes softly and watched them slowly as they moved and used there chakra through the Byakugan every movement analyzed and memorized as best she could focusing on seeing a pattern in the moves sensei made and her team as she moved down from one of the trees silently before making a dash at sensei on a different angle that he couldn't see from behind to the right of him grinning slightly as her hand aimed a strike at a solid spot to hit his chakra hard and almost fully cut it off from his core but not quite aiming a few other places just in case she was blocked it would still disrupt any chakra in the area blocked making sure the other two team mates did not rush in to get hit her main focus was wearing sensei down before trying for the bells a good idea in thought as her hands and feet moved methodically to strike the crucial points of chakra control. - "Who said I was late, sensei?" - Only spoken when she launched her attacks at him. -

Kare: - As he stood there in his stance, he paid close attention to Ryo and Ryota. Only a couple of seconds after he announced that the test has begun, he spotted Ryo using the Teleportation Jutsu, due to the fact that his body just vanished from its original position, but Shigeru was still able to track Ryo's movements to a general location, behind a couple of bushes in front of the treeline. He was quite impressed that Ryo was able to perform the jutsu without weaving any hand seals, but the jutsu wasn't too hard to get a hang of even at a young age. He let Ryo hide within the bushes, to let him formulate some sort of plan, but sitting in a bush wasn't going to get him any closer to actually snagging a bell from his waist. His attention was caught by Ryota as he began to perform Earth Style: Earthquake Palm, but sadly he failed to weave the hand seals that were required to perform the jutsu to its full potential, so all that actually occurred was the ground began to shake vigorously for a brief period of time, but took precaution and leaped up into the air regardless. To his surprised a random female would zoom right under him as he soared through the air. He listened to her words carefully and then realized that she was the missing genin from his squad. - "You should've been here from the start." - He said as was in the air, noticing that ground was still shaking violently. He would land a couple of feet behind her, focusing chakra to the bottom of his sandals so that he could keep his balance as the ground shook due to Ryota's jutsu, and would then bent his knees slightly and charge forwards towards the girl's back with great speed and a majority of his weight placed onto his shoulder which he positioned in front of his body to deliver the blow, performing the Thrusting Shoulder. If successful, the girl would knocked off of her balance and sent flying a couple of yards and suffer great pain all over her back, but if she manages to avoid being hit, Shigeru would break the position he's in for the shoulder strike and begin to run towards Ryota whilst drawing a kunai from his hip pouch around his waist. -

Necrose: - Ryo watched as Ryota launched an attack his eyes kept on both his sensei and Ryota. The ground started to shake and Ryo braced himself so not to fall. Right as Ryo stood up to make his move a female came out of no where and launched an assault on sensei, Ryo crouched back down and shook his head watching the assault happen. His eyes followed the sensei as he flew up into the air and came back down seeming to thrust his shoulder at the female. Ryo took this moment to push the lollipop stick in his mouth out with force aimed at his sensei the candy part of the lollipop now completely dissolved. The stick flew from his mouth with great force, and following it was the kunai aimed at his chest Ryo had in his hand which he threw right after the lollipop stick was blown from his mouth. As the kunai made its was towards his sensei, Ryo's body began to flicker and disappear, reappearing in the air above where his sensei and the female were engaged. Whilst in air Ryo took four kunai and tossed them towards his sensei, two aimed for the arm's one and two aimed at his waist hoping one would knock the bell off this tactic made it harder to dodge being Ryo had thrown a kunai from the bush before flickering away. -

Guest\_ZeroScarletdeth: - Ryota would watch as his sensei would not be phased  by the earthquake as his eyes would  quickly widen seeing the female rush attack there teacher. Seeing this as a opportunity, Ryota would quickly weave a few hand signs and dive into the ground as if he dove into a pool of water. Upon doing this he would swim through the ground towards his sensei positioning himself underneath him getting ready to do a sneak attack from below. -

AsuraOninoyume: - Akame grinned as she substituted herself with a log it hitting his shoulder if he didn't catch on quick enough though that would be still not much considering his skill level as she backed off a little to let the blades fly forth the log however was not in sightly away at this point or launched by sensei due to his shoulder thrust having her Byakugan was incredibly useful letting her see everything on the battlefield all at once even if it was training she took it serious deathly serious noticing her fellow teammate was closing in on sensei though holding her self up from the ground still shaking was a little hard to stand up but she figured out the vibrations quickly stabilizing herself getting ready for an attack after her team mates got there moves in alignment to catch sensei into a 8 Triagrams 32 Palms waiting for him to ether get hit by the lollipops stick or kunai making sure to not note her fellow team mates locations focusing on everything moving around as she licked her lips ready to launch a full scale attack against sensei. -

Kare: - As Shigeru came in charging at the female's back, he managed to see from the corner of his eye her attempt to escape, but she just couldn't manage to get away in time. Shigeru's shoulder rammed right into her back and the world would slow down to the point where everything seemed to just freeze and then it returned to its normal pace and the female went flying towards the tree line where Ryo was hiding in, but she would land just a couple of yards away from actually reaching the tree line itself. Her failure to weave the correct hand seals or weave any hand seals at all lead her to sustain such a devastating blow to the back that would put her out of business for the majority of the test due to the amount of strength and force Shigeru put into the charge. After ramming his shoulder into her back and sending her soaring across the field, Shigeru stood upright and went back into the stance he was in at the start of the test. He stomped down on the ground, releasing a pulse of his own chakra to stabilize ground so that it would be a bit easier for everyone to maneuver. - "I wonder where Ryota went... He just disapp-" - As he was in thought and scouting the area around him with his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a senbon like object and what looked to be a kunai trailing behind it coming his way, but it was too close for him to reach into his hip pouch and pull out a kunai to deflect the senbon, so he leaped back a couple of yards whilst holding his right arm outwards with his palm exposed and his fingers spread out. A small spark formed on his palm and then just milliseconds afterwards an explosive blast the size of his hand shot out with enough force to send both projectiles off their original course, but as he is doing that Ryo appears above him and shoots out four kunai with the desire to strike specific parts of his body due. Shigeru swiftly turns his arm out to Ryo and the small spark forms again, but this time instead of a small explosive blast an even larger explosive blast shoots out eight yards outwards with enough explosive force to obliterate Ryo if he is caught within the blast. Shigeru's blast managed to obliterate four of the five kunai. The kunai that managed to slip through the blast was knocked off its course but managed to graze Shigeru's left thigh, just a couple of inches below the bells. There was a lot of smoke in the general area, so Shigeru wasn't too sure if Ryo was caught within the explosive blast, so instead of waiting to find out, he simply kept leaping back a couple of yards to recover and wait for the next strike by drawing two kunai with two paper bomb wrapped around the handle of the kunai. He flung one of the kunai towards the female and in her current condition it was most likely that she would be unable to dodge and would be caught within the explosion, so she'd need the assistance of one of her teammates; this was an attempt to draw Ryota out. The kunai would not be directed to actually impale the female, but simply land around her so that she is caught within the radius of the blast. Shigeru stood there paying close attention the his surroundings, preparing himself for anything. -

Necrose: - After the kunai Ryo tossed were deflected and a blast was headed for him, Ryo weaved a hand seal for tiger and his body quickly disappeared from the air and landed on the ground safely a few feet from behind where he would have originally landed, he was able to do this due to his jutsu enhancing his speed by an exceptional amount than it would have normally because he wove the hand seals required for it. As Ryo landed he scouted to area looking to make sure his teammates were not in the way for his next attack. He noticed his sensei jump a few times backwards and his female teammate, who had not introduced herself before running into the fight, off on the ground and Ryota no where in sight. Ryo quickly put his hands to his chest making the hand seals snake → rat → snake → tiger and then inhaled deeply while kneading the charka in his belly and began to exhale. "Fire Release: Burning Ash Technique." As Ryo exhaled a stream of combustible ash much like gun powder flew from his mouth into the area his sensei was standing. Once the stream of ash escaped his mouth at the very last moment with the last bit of ash pouring out Ryo scraped his teeth together rubbing the flint that had be put onto his teeth together creating a small spark. As the spark hit the ash it created a chain of flames all the way to the cloud of ash that surrounded the area his sensei stood causing an explosion, if his sensei was caught in it he could have been badly burned or worse. He used this as a distraction so Ryota could come out from hiding and save their teammate, now that a kunai with an explosive tag was heading right for her. -

Guest\_ZeroScarletdeth: - Ryota would jump up from the ground going between his female teammate and his sensei, slamming both hands down on the ground after doing a few quick hand seals. A massive stone wall would flip up from the ground and block the blast from himself and his teammate as he would then punch the tile shattering it; sending shards flying at his sensei.  He would use this time to grab his teammate and take her a bit further away from their sensei. He would growl as a reptile would and his eyes would begin to glow a bright orange as his body fuels with anger and rage. "I don't care who are you... I don't care if you're our sensei... I won't let you harm my teammates!" He would yell out at his sensei while ripping his coat off and revealing his razor sharp scaled skin as he would rush at his sensei enraged. -

AsuraOninoyume: - Akame felt the shoulder thrust hit her and send her flying as she winced in pain coughing heavy  as she slid against the ground as she also noticed a wall going up to protect her from the explosion. She sighed as she bit her lip knowing that she was too hasty. She slammed her fist on the ground as she spoke, "I need more training!" She sighed as she nursed her injured side and she reflected on her actions. She knew she was way outclassed, but if she was right, he would be a little sore too from how hard he hit her. She had only a few kunai and shuriken to her name, she thought as she gazed through the wall. She moved her hand into the pouch at her hip and placed a hand in grabbing a few shuriken as her hand began to shake out of control, but she tried to calm herself by steadying her breathing. As the wall of stone that kept her mostly safe was destroyed by its creator; launching several chunks of stone at her sensei, she dove outwards and threw three shuriken with all her remaining strength. The shuriken were sent towards the area where the bells were hanging. She hoped her shuriken impaled or knocked off the bells from where they were tied as she slumps down to the floor after her attempt to make up for her earlier mistake of charging in. She hoped that perhaps she could've helped someone else get a bell from sensei by distracting him with her shuriken, but there wasn't much she could do in her condition. It was hard for her to gather air within her lungs and she was coughing a lot as she tried to steady her breathing. She began to move as as fast she could to cover in an attempt to recover enough to get back into the action. -

Kare: - Shigeru stood there in a defensive stance and began to weave a set of five hand seals beginning with tiger and ending with snake. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Ryota shot up from the ground and slammed his hand down on the surface of the grass and erected a large wall of stone to protect his teammate from the explosion created by the paper bomb wrapped around the kunai Shigeru had tossed at their injured female teammate. - "So he gave up his plan to attack me from below to protect his teammate... Good job." - He thought to himself as Ryo drew his attention. Shigeru watched him closely weaving a set of hand seals that ended in tiger; a hand seal usually affiliated with Fire Style. He wasn't sure what Ryo was up to until he finally performed the jutsu and unleashed a large smokescreen of gun powder in his direction. Shigeru didn't bother to put in the effort to move out of the gun powder smokescreen, but then Ryo would grind his teeth together creating a small spark ignited the gun powder smokescreen with Shigeru inside of it. Just as Ryo ignited the smokescreen, Ryota and his female teammate launched a simultaneous assault on Shigeru by sending large chunks of stone at him and a volley of shuriken. It would have appeared that their assault was a success as all they could hear from within the violent flames was the cry of a man in agonizing pain as he burnt to a crisp. The raging flames would be enough to keep Ryota at bay as he attempted to charge in with rage and gave their female teammate the time she needed to retreat to safety to recover. Ryou would be standing there, probably near exhaustion after performing quite an impressive jutsu, but their assault was not enough to bring down Shigeru for them to grab a bell. A couple of minutes would pass and the cries of agonizing pain would subside as well as the raging flames. As the majority of the flames cleared out, the three genin would be able to see what seems like a body on the ground where Shigeru once stood, burnt to a crisp, but if they were to careful examine the body they would come to the realization that it was merely a large log of oak. As they all come to the realization that Shigeru wasn't actually caught within their assault, Shigeru appears in the air about two stories; twenty feet, above Ryo in a formation to perform Pressure Palm from above. but Shigeru wasn't holding back. - "If their willing to burn me to a crisp and crush me beneath a pile of stone, then they better expect me not to hold back." - He thought to himself and he manipulated the gravity around him to drastically increase his weight and his physical strength beyond comprehension . He dropped down instantly and attempted to slam his palm on Ryo's head, neck, or either of his shoulders. If Ryo manages to escape, the instant Shigeru lands on the ground, a massive crater that's about ten feet deep and twenty feet wide in all directions from the center would form with Shigeru kneeling at the center with his palm on the ground. If Ryo doesn't manage to escape and Shigeru manage to slam his palm against any of his desired targets, he would transfer the extra gravitational pressure onto Ryo and bring him down to his knees creating a small crater around him. If Shigeru is able to successfully transfer the gravitational pressure, Ryo would be rendered immobile and unable to continue the test and Shigeru would stand there with his palm placed against him. Regardless of what position he is in, he would think to himself. - "This should be enough to diminish any hope they have left in attempting to snag a bell." -

Necrose: - Ryo scanned the area as the explosion of his attack went off and stone was sent flying into the explosion from his teammate's assault. His ears captured the sound of what seemed to be a man screaming in pain, but he kept his eyes fixed on the area. Smoke now began to fill the area as the flames settled down. As the smoke began to clear Ryo was able to see what seemed to be a charred body. As the smoke cleared more and Ryo inspected the mass, it turned out to be a burnt log. "Just as I thought, he is way too skilled for that to have worked." Ryo's knees bent and one dropped to the ground as his other leg bent further. "I over did it." He thought to himself due to the overuse of the Body Flicker Technique and the usage of the Burning Ash Technique, he was now drained of the majority of his chakra. Just as Ryo's knee hit the ground he happened to look up to see his sensei dropping down upon him preparing to strike. Ryo's body started to flicker a bit, but instead of disappearing he was unable to move. He quickly raised his arms above his head crossing his steel plated gantlets above his head to protect himself. His sensei's palm came striking down onto the gauntlets and Ryo suddenly felt a pressure throughout his entire body that pushed him down into the ground. A small crater formed around his knees and his arms fell to his sides and then his torso fell forward causing his face to hit the ground. Ryo tried to move his hands so that he could push himself up, but he couldn't move a single muscle regardless of how hard he tried. Ryo shut his eyes and sighed laying there in defeat as his sensei stood over him. -

Guest\_ZeroScarletdeth: - His eyes flared with rage. His blood was pumping rapidly and his adrenaline rushing through his veins, but he suddenly fell down to his knees and placed a hand over his injured eye. He winced in pain as blood began to seep from his wound. He must have strained the muscles around the wound and caused it to start bleeding again and because of this he started to feel dizzy and his vision would begin to blur. He managed to get back on his feet, but he was quite dizzy and too occupied trying to keep his balance as he swayed side to side to try and attack his sensei. He would look to his sensei as the world began to spin around him and he managed to mumble a couple of words within his breath. "You win sensei... I can't fight you with this injury." He said using the strength he had left to keep himself standing, but he didn't have much strength left in him and he passed out and dropped to the ground. -

AsuraOninoyume: - Akame sighed as she looked down slamming her fist into the ground and sitting on her knees sighing deeply as she slumped to the floor with her arms going entirely limp. Her Byakugan deactivated as she whispered to herself "It's my fault." She knew that she could have done a lot more to help her team. Shortly afterwards, she passed out on the ground with the majority of her chakra used up by her Byakugan and all she could think of while lying there on the ground like a sack of potatoes was that she was the weakest link within the team. -

Kare: - As he dropped from above and Ryo threw his forearms up for protections, Shigeru knew what he had to do. As his palm came into contact with the steel plated gauntlets, he redirected the changed force of gravity on to Ryo to avoid crushing him under his palm. Shortly after, Ryo dropped to his knees and feel face first into the groun. Shigeru stood there behind Ryo as he laid on the ground in defeat under the overwhelming pressure being placed on him due to the shift in gravity around him, but he didn't accept his victory just yet. He turned his attention to Ryota who was out on the field filled with rage, but the sight of Ryo accepting his defeat and being unable to continue the evaluation seemed to knock some sense into Ryota's thick skull and he dropped to his knees. Shigeru was able to catch sight of the bandages he wrapped slowly being a crimson red as they soaked up the blood that was starting to leak from Ryota's injury. He was a bit concerned for his well-being, but the evaluation wasn't over just yet, so he couldn't risk running to Ryota's aid and then being caught off guard by their female teammate, so he just stood there and waited a bit, watching Ryota struggle to stand back up on his feet, but somehow he managed to do it. He watched Ryota struggling to keep his balance, swaying side to side like a pendulum. Shigeru stood there in genuine amazement and paid close attention to the words Ryota mumbled from his mouth. - "Two down, one to go." - He thought to himself as he began to focus on sensing for the female's chakra signature. After a short while, Shigeru managed to pick it up and wandered over to the location of where he sensed it was coming from. When he arrived all he found was a girl passed out from chakra exhaustion. - "Seems like the thought of deactivating her Byakugan didn't cross her mind." - He said to himself as he lowered himself and threw her over his shoulder. He made his way back to the middle of the field and spotted Ryota passed out on the ground, so he wandered over to him and threw him over his free shoulder. Shigeru made his way to Ryo and placed his foot on his back and lifted the pressure being placed on him. - "Since all three of you seem to have surrendered, you all fail your evaluation, but you all have shown the ability to do well as ninja, so I'm not going to send you all to the Academy." - He paused for a moment and removed his foot off of his back. - "You can accompany me to the hospital, so that a nurse can check you out and then you're free to go." - Shigeru gave him a warm smile and then began to head back to the village and with each step he took, the bells jingled, reminding the trio of their failure to take on from their sensei's waist. -
