Hinaku Shirogane: ~It was now two days after the gennin congradulational ceremony. Now just being in the morning while the sky was just beginning to climb over the sky overshadowing the darkness that was over the land of Konohagakure because of the dark night. The roosters in the village were starting to ca-coo. This was a signal to the people of the village Konohagakure that it was time to start on their day an their daily routines throughout the day. Now just in the center of the village almost next to the Hokage's House an residents was The residence of the newly made Gennin known as Hinaku Shirogane. Inside the Home of Hinaku the alarm clock had now began to rang loudly to wake Hinaku up. Typically Hinaku had waken up in a cold sweat simply because of the nightmare that he had just awaken from Being about his family an clan being wiped out in one fell swoop. Hinaku had received a message the previously found day which read ''Hinaku please meet your New sensei Suki Uchiha in the forest for your first training session. And once again congradulations on becomeing a newly found gennin.'' Hinaku then Glared over at the alarm clock that rang on his dresser next to his bed tears running down his cheek from the nightmare that he had just awaken from. Hinaku then set up in his bed And slammed his opened palm on the top of the alarm clock now shutting it off completely. Hinaku then walked to his closet grabbing his usually warn clothing that he wore throughout his daily routines. Hinaku then walked slowly to the bath room as he now had taken a shower. He stayed in the shower for about twenty minuets now getting out of the shower an looking in the mirror tears still running down his face he placed his hand on the mirror as he continued to glare at his own reflection. Hinaku then began to get angry thinking about his assassinated clan He now began to place on his clothing which was a sleeveless black shinobi air tight shirt with a black short sleeveless hooded vest on it. On his bottom half he wore a pair of black shinobi bottoms. On his feet he wore a pair of shinobi sandles which was a beige color an revealed the most part of his feet. Hinaku then slowly walked to the closet in which he kept his weapons an gear. He then slid the door slowly open an then Got his Konohagakure neckband off the shelf just above where he kept his arsenal ((meaning weapon set)). He then tied the konoha neckband around his neck then he looked down a little to the left as he had now gotten the long silver chain he had gotten from his father just before he was killed. As he did so he had now put the chain around his neck, Hinaku then looked to the very bottom self as he picked up his large black scroll an strapped it to his back by a long black strap going across his chest. Hinaku then returned to his bath room looking in the mirror once more as he had now began to comb his long white hair until it was straitened to his usual fitted hair. Hinaku then began to exit his residence drying his past tears on his naked arm. Hinaku then put on his usual facial expression which was blank an expressionless showing absolutely no emotion at all masking all the pain inside. As Hinaku walked through the village of Konoha going into his pocket bringing out the note he had gotten the previous day. He then looked at the directions to the shinobi forest. When he had looked at this letter he then placed it back into his pocket an now began to walk through the village heading to the forest where his final destination was. He was walking for about ten minuets as just after that he had now reached the forest. He was now inside the designated area as he then saw himself being the only one there he then stood still as if a statue not moving a muscle waiting for his new sensei an his other two teammates.~

Akane Uzumaki: Two days after the ceremony Akane had managed to calm down and not kill anyone for her glasses being ruined. She managed to fix them and so all is well with her little world. Akane's morning started out like any other mornings, she woke up tangled in her sheets and fell right out of bed only to realize today is the day she trains and meets her fellow team mates, Saying she was excited was an understatement, Akane walked around her room gathering her clothes and walked into her bathroom, After a nice and long soak in the bath Akane was now standing in front of her full length mirror admiring her outfit and her amazingly natural hair. After about five minutes of ogling herself she managed to grab her pouch and her favourite book and make her way to the training grounds that her sensie Suki Uchiha left a map for on the note Akane received. Akane was to busy reading the note that she didn't realize she was walking into a tree again, After Akane looked up she noticed another chakra presence, she looked past the tree and saw a boy about her age or younger standing still like a statue. "Is he one of my Team members? He looks so.. Whats the word.. Still!" After a while of hiding behind the tree to wait for more people Akane made the decision to walk ahead and meet this still statue like person. Walking to the figure Akane made sure she was looking like a mess after nearly walking into the tree, Akane stopped and straightened out her favourite red Kimono and held out her hand "H-Hello. My name is Akane Uzumaki and i'm your new team member, At least i think i am haha" Akane sighed and sat down on a tree log and pulled out her book and started reading waiting for her Sensie and other team members.

Suki Uchiha: ~ Two days time had passed since that day of the team ceremony and each day Suki had gotten stronger. She sat silently within a tree that resided within a beautiful and vibrant forest of Konoha that was considered to be the exact opposite of the forest of death but actually been nicknamed "forest of opportunity". She hadn't been up there for no more than 15 minutes just listening and leaned against the tree with her long blonde hair flowing down her shoulders like silk. The lush vegetation that grew upon the tree's limbs gave her a shade also acted as a veil that covered her from being seen as she sat up there and sighed softly as the sun had not yet risen and she wondered if her students would have been able to wake up at such a frightful time of day. She wore her typical jounin attire which consisted of her long black trench coat that was opened to expose her fish net tube top and high waisted jounin pants that met with her black ninja sandals. Her blue eyes held a slight excitement about her youthful and delicate features as she recalled her days as genin and the surge of emotion and pride that she had felt and she wondered if they felt the same. She easily picked up on a small chakra pressure approaching her area without any form of thought, She didn't even have to look really hard to deduce that this was a genin but WHO it was required extra effort which she decided not to take as she wished to see them in their natural environment. The uchiha smiled as she watched the young genin who was one of her boys who was named Hinaku and he was very still in fact he stillness almost made her uncomfortable in a sense for genin typically aren't as stationary as him. "Hmm..." She said with thought as she was just about to make herself visible a female genin who she deduced Akane Uzumaki. The notion of a sealing prodigy flashed in her mind as her youthful face glowed with a smile as she watched her interactions with the boy which was a shy one. The blonde chuckled under her mask as she jumped down from the tree branch and the concealment of the leaves; this was so fast that it would have been as if she appeared before them and standing at a 9 feet distance of them. "Yes, you two are in fact team mates.... and I am your Jounin instructor Suki Otome-Uchiha." She bowed as she flipped her long blonde bangs from her eyes revealing her sparkling blue eyes to them which was full of joy and excitement. Her youthful attitude was very much like her to break the ice.~

Hinaku Shirogane: ~As Hinaku stood there motionless he then felt the presence an chakra signature of another shinobi. This shinobi's chakra signature felt a bit small so he had no doubt that this person who was approaching had to be on his level an possibly his new teamate seeing as if the chakra signature matched that of a Genin level shinobi. Hinaku then still stood still as he now heard her voice noticeing that she was now behind him approaching with the friendly words of introduceing herself. Hinaku then still stood still like a statue. However a second later he then turned to this person an saw that this was indeed a genin an inparticularly his new teamate known as Akane Uzumaki. Hinaku then looked at her with cold eyes an also a blank expression being on his face he then said in a seemed to be a annoyed voice ''heh you must be akane wow thats to bad. Beat it you'll just get in my way i thought they would give me a fine set of teamates but instead i get a freak show man this is sad....'' At that point in time as the wind blew he now senced a much larger signature in the distance now seeing as in his head he was thinking ''hmm this must be my new sensei lets see how good she is i have heard f the Uchiha i wander how true the rummors are.'' Hinaku then saw as the Jounin had moved so aswiftly that she appeared to have just appeared infront of him just in some sort of teleportation. However the typical genin would be impressed by this but because of Hinaku's dark mantality he was not moved in the slightest by this little demonstration of quickness by his sensei. As Hinaku heard the womans voice he then stood there looking at the two female's with a blank facial expression, Giving off the impression as if he had no intrest in the two of them.~

Akane Uzumaki: Akane smilied lightly at the words being spoken by her new teammate, she would be crying if she was alone but she could sense a much larger Chakra from a a tree a little way back. Akane just stood there and smiled lightly, She didnt want to look like a weak person in front of her teammate and new Sensie. Akane had just sat down when she noticed a young women with blonde hair and a black trench coat land right infront of the boy and Akane herself, looking up from the book Akane managed to catch a glimpse of blue eyes looking back at her. "H-Hello Suki Otome-Uchiha, I-Im pleased to be on your team." With that being said Akane bowed slightly and smiled a geniune smile something she hasnt done in a while. Akane couldnt help but stare at her Sensie and new teammate, they both looked so full of excitement. Well one of them did. Akane made her way to stand beside her Ssensie and look up at her, This was truly the start of Akane's career and leading in her fathers footsteps. Akane was truly happy but she immediantly rembered something. "S-Shouldnt we have another member in our team?" Questioned Akane now looking around and trying to sense another chakra. Akane just gave up and pulled out her little book and began reading it while she sat back at her log and took glances from her book to her new team. Akane looked up to the sky as if to say "I hope i do you proud Mum and Dad." She looked back down and went back to her book. Akane kept looking at her new teammate, "he's so distant and rude. He didnt even give me a chance to prove myself! I'll show him. Im not just a pretty face" Akane thought and couldnt help but smile now thinking to the newest teammember who seemed to be fashionably late.

Vatu Sarutobi: ~It was 2 days after the genin promotion around noon and Vatu was still in the bed cozy wrapped in the blanket his sister made him. It was very warm and soft and could be your bestfriend in bed if you were in a deep sleep like vatu was.However his slumber was cut to an end upon hearing a thud at his window. Quickly tusseling through the cover in an angry rant to get situated he reached to unlatch the lock on the door.The moment his window was open a huge messanger hawk flew directly into his bedroom and landed on his bed.Vatu began examining the bird and thought "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" after calming down coming to his senses he said peacefully "Ah you must be hungry." Reaching for the left over crackers he'd had the night before on his dresser he crumbled them and began feeding the bird only to notice it had a letter addressed to him from his sensei. As he untied the letter from the birds right leg and unfolded it to read he jumped up quickly "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I"M LATE SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME"! Running to his closet to grab a shirt and pants he hurried to slip them on not worrying about wrinkles as he slapped his shoulder blades on and wrapped his ninja tool belt around his waist. Vatu was in so much of a rush that once he got to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth he swallowed the toothpaste cap opening it.Not having time to try and access his problem vatu quickly strapped his blade to his side and slung his bow and arrow sack to his back leaping out of his bedroom window. !2:30 noon he was rushing down the streets of konoha towards the forest we;'re he'd been instructed to go. Suddenly "HELP HE'S GOING TO RAPE ME" yelled a voice which sounded like a woman to vatu .Shortly after vatu heard a loud smack and a man's deep baritone voice say" I TOLD YOU NOBODY IS GOING TO SAVE YOU BITCH"! Vatu now had two options do what was right or not be any later for his training; vatu ran towards the voices because he couldn't let the woman's plea go unheard.Not 15 seconds later approached the ally where the sounds came from as he stood in the shadows with his chakra blades already clutched. "Let her go pal i've already been having a fucked up morning and you wouldn't wanna piss me off"! vatu said with a calm but serious voice to let the man know it was comply or die.Seconds later the man dropped the woman and dashed for vatu "YOU STUPID BRAT I'LL FUCK YOU INSTEAD"! said the now seemingly bisexual man. However the moment he got into vatu's range vatu's left arm was through the man's chest and out his back. Vatu stood there still not moving anything but his right arm to push the man's corpse off his arm. Before the woman could thank him vatu had vanished headed for the forest once again.IT was 5 minutes later vatu arrived to see his sensei and akane with a new person a male who seemed genin based off his levels being given off; However it was something different about this kid he seemed lost , dead , and above all interesting to vatu. As vatu walked closer bowing to His sensei Suki he reached out wit his now blood stained left hand not knowing and saying sorry i'm late I ran into some trouble~Bushiroad

Suki Uchiha: ~Suki had made her eyes scan over the two genin students. Hinaku Shirogane had clearly the mark of a damaged soul and refused to let anyone to see him sweat; which reminded her of her early days and Akane Uzumaki was a shy but seemingly confident girl all in one and was much like her middle years of chuunin. Such striking reflections of her own past made her a bit shocked but it wasn't apparent on her features. She was snapped from her mental analysis as the Shirogane boy blatantly made a rude comment to his teammate at which case Suki began her first "lesson" "Rule number 1 of survival, NEVER be little your teammates.. you'll never know when you'll need them." She said with a disturbing monotone speak that completely contrasted her physical vibrant demeanor. She for one saw team work to be a number one issue to face before any other major tasks which unfortunately put them behind the other teams of Konoha. The blonde mentally sighed and at that time before his arrival she sensed the missing genin ninja whom 5 mins later made himself very much apparent after rushing through the forest. "He must have overslept..." She thought to herself cause she easily picked up on his disheveled appearance and also her nose picked up on blood but noticed that no one was bleeding which made her eyebrow raise in curiosity as Vatu raised his arm and it was stained in blood as the Jounin ninja's eyes widened in shock. She walked up to him and blinked, "Whose blood is this?" She asked in a very curious manner hiding her worried tone perfectly as she looked around at her other two students who more than likely hadn't even noticed.~

Hinaku Shirogane: ~ As Hinaku noticed the jounin standing in front of him he was not intimidated to the slightest but however he sort of envied the jounin for her higher rank than his he felt that he was inferior to her but he wanted to be superior to all deep inside he knew that he had to be the superior shinobi in order to avenge his dead clan. Hinaku then heard the words of the Jounin as she said something about team work her voice sounding intimidating in a fashion that would no doubt scare the pants off the typical genin level shinobi. However this did not faze Hinaku in the slightest because of his cold heart. Instead of showing any sign of intimidation Hinaku just stood there with that same expressionless face looking up at his sensei with no signs of being scared. Hinaku then noticed another Chakra signature in the area this was also a small Signature an was no doubt a gennin as well on his Level in deed. Hinaku now noticed as the Gennin level shinobi was now just appearing on the scene he was no doubt late maybe over sleeping or some other thing maybe held him up. Hinaku then noticed as this Gennin was a male an no doubt his final teamate. As he gazed upon this young shinobi Hinaku was scanning him an the girl out. Hinaku then finally changed his standing position as he now turned back to his sensei only to notice as she ran over to the other young gennin boy tending to a stain of blood that he had on his left hand. This made Hinaku interested in this young boy he now felt that he was indeed different than that of his first introduced teammate Hinaku then thought in his mind. ''Hmmm this guy managed to actually kill some one or something he will be an interesting one in deed.'' However as Hinaku gazed at the young boy he did not show this emotion by the look on his face one would think that he was not interested in this young shinobi in the slightest fashion. Hinaku then looked at his sensei awaiting further instruction with a look of disinterest on his face. Hinaku once again stood there still like a statue looking hard at his new sensei.~

Akane Uzumaki: Akane noticed another chakra source coming from behind the trees no doubt it was the last team member, Akane stood up and walked to Suki and Hinaku. Akane stopped once she noticed what was on his arms. Akane ran as fast as she could to the boys side to see if he was injured, She dismissed the blood and went back to her other teammate and waited while her Sensei and new teammate were talking. Akane reconsidered him as the boy who saw her fall flat on her butt during the ceremony. Akane sighed and ran her fingers through her hair and smiled at everyone. "If he mentions that i fell i swear he wont have anything left, I cant be known as the laughing stock of the village." Thought Akane now slightly fidgeting and playing with the hem of her outfit. Akane looked up and took notice of everyone standing around. Akane looked at each of her teammates and her sensei with a deep gaze, Akane wanted to firstly known if the boy with blood on his arm was injured, She also wanted to know why her other teammate is so distant and then she wanted to know what her sensei is thinking. Akane just stood and thought threw everything in her mind. Akane finally got tired of working things out so she looked up to notice that everyone was doing there own thing. Akane immediately pulled out her book and started reading. "Nearly Finished with this book" Thought Akane now holding the book close to her chest.

Vatu Sarutobi: ~After explaining the long story of why he was late to his sensei and new teammates and how he'd killed the man which stained his arm he began to smile and say" Sensei don't think i'm a monster I did what I had to do."As he finishes speaking and examining his teammates waiting for Suki Sama to give them a task vatu noticed the mark of the Shirogane on the other astray male's face as he said out loud"You're that puppet kid huh? I heard you like to make human puppets!" He said in a challenging yet respectful way.Then he turned his eyes to the uzumaki girl he hadn't forgotten falling the other day as he said "How's your glasses" as he ruffled her hair with a smile on his face to pure. " I hope we become good friends you seem like a nice brave but shy girl no offense".Looking back to his sensei Suki Sama he spoke out in a playful voice "You lied to me we never got any food that day only a meeting at the training grounds with Senso Sama". He taunted.After he finished talking he pulled out his chakra blade that had the blood stain and walked slowly to the water bank and began wiping his blade clean he couldn't let it rot with blood.As he cleaned the blade thoroughly he thought " Ah this is great this team can work out great a human body annihilator, a medical ninja, a sharingan master i'd presume, and me a god in the making. We'll work well together". once he finished cleaning his blade he walked back over to the group and awaiting the further instructions of his sensei.~Bushiroad

Suki Otome-Uchiha:  ~Suki was impressed with the Sarutobi's way of handling his priorities cause she knew herself that she would have done the exact thing as well. She backed up back to her position which was in front of the genin students as he carried along as if it didn't matter. The blonde tightened her bow as she then traced her slender and delicate fingers down her blonde ponytail thus flipping it over her shoulder, "Well, So far I am very pleased besides the teamwork factor that seems to be absent. . ." She thought to herself with her soft blue eyes fixed upon her ready pupils. She awaited for Vatu to move back with his genin partners as she parted her soft pink lips to speak, "Well... Now that we are all acquainted with each other... Let's get to the first lesson..." She said. The blonde barely had seemingly barely moved her hands to sign the hand sign \*~ Tiger~\* The Uchiha skillfully kneaded her chakra within her body while taking a deep breath; Such a feat had been executed with mastery and quickness for she was very skilled with this technique know as the hidden mist jutsu. She had released her breath releasing a very thick and opaque mist from her body as it quickly spread about the area and coating the genin and herself; At this very same time, The very same mist had rolled in from almost every angle and direction of the forest and would have covered 5 miles of space in each direction in about 4 mins. Her usage of this skill was brilliant as her mist was not just already hard to see through but also had been layered to the fact that any disruption of the mist would simply mix the layers together thus making it even harder to see. The Jounin would had moved back into the mist as she completely cloaked her chakra signature from the genin which wasn't hard so they would have not a trace of the jounin as she moved about. The mist was so thick that each genin would have 3-4 feet of moderate to poor visibility. The Jounin smiled as she signed once again creating 3 clones from nothing as they stood next to her in perfection to her very features as she had mastered the kage bunshin no jutsu. They each disappeared within the mist leaving nothing in their trace as Suki had started to lesson.~

 Vatu Sarutobi: ~The moment Vatu came back to the group from washing the blood from his weapon he noticed almost instantly his Sensei's chakra change looking over her body he spotted her hands had been in the Tiger hand sign ." Just like an uchiha ". He thought as he grabbed Akane's arm running away from their sensei with her," listen I know we don't know each other but trust me". He told akane in a nice but commanding voice. "You stay here and defend yourself with this HEKABE this is my family's most proud possession said to cut through anything with no problem". As he unstrapped the blade placing it in her hands he took off sticking his hands in his ninja pouch pulling out his chakra blades weaving a few hand signs as he ascended into the air he inhaled a deep breath as he exhaled the area with in 2 miles was covered in black smoke this was the first part he began weaving even more hand signs and this time once he inhaled he held it for 15 seconds only to exhale a small fireball no bigger than a mailbox .As the fireball left his mouth it instantly sparked a flame this was the Sarutobi clans jutsu FIRE STYLE:ASH PILE BURNING. It was specifically used to be an area attack however Vatu seemed to be using it as a defense he had to protect himself and most of all his teammates ~Bushiroad

 Akane Uzumaki: Akane noticed the smoke descend onto the training ground then in a matter of seconds she was being moved somewhere by her teammate. Akane listened to everything he said and held the sword tightly. "I wont let this sword go. I'll protect it and me and you. I'm not as weak as you think" Akane thought now jumping into a tree and now trying to find her sensi's chakra. Akane managed to move around until she noticed a chakra that was as strong as the real thing, Akane knew in an instant that it was a clone. Akane ran towards the chakra source and sliced right through the chest and saw the clone disperse. Akane had a big smile on her face and walked back to her tree and stayed there till she could sense the real chakra of her sensei. It didnt take to long for Akane to find the real Suki. Akane jumped down from her space and walked slowly towards the chakra source making sure not to be noticed. Akane held the sword given to her by Vatu tightly and walked closer to the chakra making sure now and then that she wasn't noticed to quickly. Akane fixed her glasses ontop of her head and ran straight towards the chakra source and made the first swing at her sensie. "Please dont die Akane. You can do this" The last words Akane had remembered before her mind had gone into fighting mode and she was thinking of attacks.

 Suki Otome-Uchiha:  ~The mist stuck like wet rice, refusing to give up on the behalf of anything or anyone. Suki had managed to move quite quickly and silently among the mist just as she was trained and mastered in. She wasn't surprised in the slightest to pick up on not only movement within the mist but also a chakra disruption that she quickly deduced to be a signature of fire release. Suki halted movement as she was now within the North Eastern direction of the genin and had a distance of 15 feet from them. She awaited her genin who she saw, quite easily through the now extremely thick mist due to movement, to spit out a black smoke like ash which Suki smiled and simply held her right hand upwards as she swirled it about. She pulled from the moisture of the area and small but potent amounts of her own chakra to strengthen the mist's upper wall by creating a thick mist top which as it exploded it simply dented a small portion of the mist which was completely recovered in a matter of seconds thus increasing the difficulty of seeing. Suki also noticed that one of her clones had been slayed as she simply stood within the mist with her arms folded and her back towards the Uzumaki Genin. The blonde was as till as a tree as she was very impressed hat she had found her even with her chakra being concealed so expertly. With her back still solid towards Akane, "Don't attack me directly. . ." She thought to herself but as she had thought she could hear the faint swoop of a blade against the air as Akane stood 5 feet away which highlighted her immense skill in the sensory department. Suki did not even allow her to swing her sword in front of her before, with the speed of 25 mph, she spun around towards the genin with her left hand in her attempt to bring down upon the blade's surface, which if not avoided in .13 of a second, would flick the sword from her hands as in the same fluid motion she would attempt to drive her right palm in to the lower region of her throat at speeds of 30 mph which if not avoided in .10 of a second, would not only stun her for about 5-6 seconds but also stop her from screaming out as she waved her left hand which would form 3 water tentacles to form from the mist and would attempt to grapple her around her mouth, legs and torso while pinning her arms together; The force of these tentacles where the strength of many ropes and also was even tighter due to her chakra input. All of this would occur is a swift and silent occurrence which would show her true deadly arts of assassination. "Hmm...."~

 Akane Uzumaki: Akane couldn't believe that she was this close to her sensei and was fighting with all her might. Akane noticed that all the clones had been taken care off and now all she had was the real deal right in front of her, Akane didn't realize that Suki was mid swing so just as Akane was about to move her sword more she felt a immense pain in her cheek, Akane fell to the ground with a thump and the sword long forgotten on the ground, Akane stood up and wiped the blood off her face and backed up. Akane ran and grabbed the sword and looked up at the sky after noticing her sensie focusing on another Chakra, All Akane could think was if this is what her father felt every time he came home smiling and going on about how he's one step closer to protecting the village. Akane looked down and glared at the ground, "No! He wanted to live everyday with violence unlike me" With that being said Akane ran towards her sensei only to stop once she noticed an arrow going straight past her and towards her sensie. Akane looked back and tried to see who was shooting the arrow. "Vatu didn't wear a bow and arrow. Did he?" Thought Akane now hoping she could see through the mist to check if he was alright. Akane shook her head and backed away a bit noticing how angry her sensie looked. Akane tried to focus and find her teammates chakra through the mist. Once Akane found it she noticed he was a little weak but he had some fight still in him. Akane smiled and climbed back up a tree trying to gain height so she wouldn't be knocked out by a raging sensei.

 Suki Otome-Uchiha: ~Suki watched as Akane stood little to no chance with the hand to hand aspect with her. Suki successfully had disarmed her and silenced her with her fluid motions of attack and just as she fell to the ground due to impact water tentacles awaited her and had also successfully wrapped her tightly in it clutches making her at that point unable to move a muscle. Suki had not kept her eyes closed to Vatu at all as this occurred; She could hear a faint swooshing in the air as she stood silently with Akane in her full mercy. "I wonder if they will pick up on the point of this spar...." She thought to herself as she drew a kunai for the arrow was pretty close and she easily got rid of the threat by a sharp flick of her right hand which held the kunai and she broke the arrow into splinters which zoomed passed her as she re holstered her kunai. "Ah... Divide and conquer.. a very smart tactic.." She spoke with her monotone serious voice that contrasted that of what they had seen earlier. She dispelled the mist as it quickly cleared as it had came thus revealing the full view of Suki next to Akane. Suki stood there silently as she walked away from Akane making a distance of 10 feet from her but she was still bound by the water tentacles in full force. Suki stopped as she smiled at Vatu, "Congratulations... you have managed to survive the mist..." She spoke with genuine profoundness before looking at Akane. "Now... I am giving an option victor.... would you save your dear partner's life...." She spoke softly as her right hand reached towards the poor Uzumaki and as it clenched the tentacles would constrict which would cause her to slowly loose breath and after a while turn blue in the face. "Or would you rather fight me on your own.... one on one but at the cost of your teammate's life? Time is ticking and if you try to do both I will not hesitate in killing her then dealing with you myself..." The Blonde Uchiha spoke with a deep deep honesty as her blue eyes were now cold as her hand would continue to clench and the tentacles would get tighter and tighter. "I hope he realizes that i will end her if he chooses to do so... hopefully he makes the correct choice.." She thought to herself as she looked at both of the ninja waiting.~

 Vatu Sarutobi: ~Scanning the area noticing the mist pick up vanishing and his now broken arrow on the ground he turned his eyes to see Suki Sama's water tentacles wrapped around Akane . Vatu was a cold blooded Shinobi on account of his past however he felt a connection to akane he couldn't let her die .As he pulled out a smoke bomb launching it towards them he would slide in a circle around the now smoke covered target as he knocked another arrow onto his bow aimed for suki to disrupt her focus on akane . The moment the arrow released Vatu dropped his bow and flash stepped towards his sword that was inches away as he gripped it he felt it's hunger as he was directly by Suki and akane he sliced towards her water tentacles to free Akane .He was praying that either the arrow or the blade was enough to make her release her grip on akane . Vatu screamed in a panic "let her goo you uchiha demon"! He was nervous for the first time he'd been worried about someone else other than his family had he finally learned the lesson of a true Shinobi or was he just misguided ? Either way he had his priorities straight he was going to save akane~Bushiroad

 Akane Uzumaki:  The air around Akane was thick, She was finding it extremely hard to breath, Akane still smiled knowing this wasn't going to be her last battle, she could sense Vatu's chakra going off the scale, she knew either she was going to be saved or Vatu was going to pass the training no matter what happened to her. Akane couldn't hear much due to the blood rising up in her body but all she did hear and see was Vatu screaming something and her name being shouted. Akane smiled and closed her eyes feeling the tentacles grow tighter. One moment Akane couldn't breath and the next moment she was gasping for air now being released from the tentacles. Akane was knelt down on the ground holding her chests while gasping for the air and wiping the tears away from her eyes. "I promised myself i'd be strong today" Thought Akane now standing. It felt like a huge relief come over her, Akane managed to walk slowly to Vatu. Akane smiled at him and whispered "Thank you Vatu." Before she hugged him tightly and smile. Akane managed to stand up and walk to her sensie. Akane walked and stopped in front of Suki, all she did was smile and bow. "I'm glad i got to know the truth about team work. It might have caused me immense pain but thank you for teaching me the truth about teamwork and how to work as a team" With that being said Akane fell to the floor and collapsed due to the tiredness she felt and not having enough oxygen in her lungs at the moment. Before darkness consumed her Akane managed to place her hand on the sword Vatu had given her to protect herself at the beginning of the training. All Akane could think was how amazing it was to have been saved and not killed. Akane truly felt happy for once in her dull, boring life.

 Suki Otome-Uchiha:  ~Suki allowed herself to be overcome by Vatu's attack as she realized not only did he receive the right choice but he also was low on chakra. Suki maintained her facial expression as the lovely reunion occurred before her eyes with her students before being greeted back with a warm smile that Suki then finally shared back. "Hmmm, you were extremely calm despite me almost killing you such determination is very admirable." She spoke with happiness as she tussled her hair. She noticed that Akane had also passed out to the lack of oxygen to her body which had made her weak; She picked her up and slung her on her back as she headed towards Vatu with her blue eyes shimmering on him with high approval; "Very admirable to choose Team over glory and also nice thinking ahead. I say you both passed." She said with a smile as she continued walking towards the village. "RAMEN ON ME Lets go Team 8!" She yelled in pure energy.~
