## Mission Summary

Within this mission, Takuya and Kaiiaki successfully completed their goal. The two tracked down the Onbaa with their mutual knowledge of wild animals. It was easy for them to find, and it wasn't long before the two confronted the Onbaa head on. Although Kaiiaki wanted to take a more stealthy approach, Takuya insisted on taking out the first Onbaa without her permission. Thankfully, Kaiiaki was able to track down the nest of the Onbaa, and take out the remaining Onbaa with Takuya taking out the first animal successfully. The two left no trace as if they had never been there to begin with.

## Mission Log

Takuya:The day was earlier than expected as the time ranged to about 8 in the morning, Takuya had just finished preparing himself through his morning necessities which lead to him then leaving his house towards the mission administration building. As he walked he passed by many different civilians as they seemed happy and seemed to be living their life calmly with no problems. He smirked at the peace he had somewhat obtained as he arrived and approached the desk, asking for B rank mission files, they then gave him several folders in which consisted material for each mission as he personally had decided to go on a mission with at least one of his students. He hadn’t really met any of them but he personally hoped eventually they would be able to meet. Takuya sighed as he picked the B rank mission known as ‘Onbaa Attack’ He read up on the files about the animal and many other things he personally would need to keep in mind. He read as they had a very powerful grip as it was near impossible to release an Onbaa once it’s latched on to you. He scratched his chin as he only figured this meant the mission needed to be approached carefully. Reading up on the situation, he read that they had been terrorizing the Genin and civilians walking through the forest. He nodded and accepted this mission returning the rest of the files at the register. He then walked off towards the mailing center and wrote a note in which was delivered towards his students. Three notes attached to the bird’s ankle as it would arrive at every student’s window to deliver the message of a mission beginning soon and that if any of them wanted to assist to meet at the gates of the village. After that he himself would head out towards the gate of the village and await for any of his students to arrive as he personally was excited to meet them. At the moment he was notified to have only two students, he would hope they both arrived to get to know them better. But knowing his luck he would be even lucky to have one arrive. Especially due to the time he was up as it was now 9 in the morning. The birds would slam into the student’s windows if they were closed, and if open they would fly into the window and fly around making noise until they woke up and read the message. After the said messages were delivered the bird would take off and fly back to its destination. Takuya himself would then wait patiently for his students to arrive, looking at the clear sky which seemed to be bright due to the sun. The temperature was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit as there was very little wind. The day in general being very dry apart from time to time with very minimal gusts of wind.

Kaiiaki: -'Peck peck, peck peck.' The sound came from Kaiiaki's bedroom window, the small pecking of a bird's beak it sounded like. It sounded over and over again, like it was trying to get the attention of someone inside. Like a broken record, the pecking continued, not letting up for a second. Kaiiaki was laying in bed at this time of morning. Her limbs had been tangled up with Masaru's, their bodies like a tangled up willow tree. Their lips were engaged in the sweetest of intimacies. Sheets and pillows had been tossed aside from their early morning endeavors. She held him close to her, reveling in the moments they had just shared. Her bare skin that had just collided with his only moments ago was now laying softly against him. It was rare the young couple had moments like these. It was as if the whole world was trying to keep them too busy to be with each other. And even in other moments, their child prevented any intimacy between them. But today was different, Takao was off for a few days recovering from a mission and had offered to watch the baby. Dahlia of course was off on a mission like usual. She was trying the best she could to help provide the income for the growing Kurisutaru Clan. Masaru and Kaiiaki had taken advantage of this factor, and had been up most of the night. But now, something was disturbing their peaceful moment. Kaiiaki tore her lips away from Masaru to glance over at the window. A bird with a note attached to its leg continued his excessive pecking at the glass. "Fuck off." Kaiiaki grumbled, throwing a pillow at the window. She then turned her lips back to Masaru, continuing to kiss him as if she hadn't stopped. She heard the bird's wings flutter from the pang of the pillow against the window. It was flustered, but it regained itself and continued its pecking, even harder now than before. Kaiiaki growled, once again releasing her lips from Masaru. But this time, she scoot out of bed, wrapping a blanket around her body and standing up. She walked over to the small window and threw it open with her right hand, the other hand clutching the blanket. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!" She screamed at the bird, her impish voice causing the bird to squawk right back at her. She tore the note off the bird's leg in rage and then slammed the window shut in the bird's face. Her fingers fumbled with the note, but she managed to open it and read what it said. "Hello Student, I am your new sensei for Team 3 the Chunin Team. I found a B-rank mission that I think you would particularly be interested in. Please meet me at the Village Gates within the hour if you plan on joining. -Takuya." Kaiiaki's grey eyes scanned over the note again, re-reading it. "Oh my gawd. An example setting sensei. How lovely." Kaiiaki sneered at the note. She crumbled it up and once and threw it towards the trash can in the corner. "Babe..." Kaiiaki walked over to the bed, slumping her body upon the bed. "I have been invited on a mission...we need the ryo for Yukio." She muttered, as if she didn't want to take the mission anyway. But she knew she had to in order to support Yukio. "I promise I will be back before you know it. And we can continue what we had going last night.." She spoke in a seductive purr. She knew it would be impossible for him to resist her like this. Without allowing him to protest, she jumped up, leaving the blanket behind. In a matter of five minutes, she had showered, brushed her hair, dressed herself in her ninja outfit, and equipped herself with her weapon inventory. Within her pouch was a bundle of 6 shuriken, 5 senbon, 2 smoke bombs, and 10 paper bombs. The rest of her pouch contained a medical kit that would be useful for any type of injury. It contained salve, bandages, wraps, alcohol, aloe, peroxide, and various things that a medical kit might contain. As soon as Kaiiaki checked over everything, she gave a kiss to Masaru, and leapt out of the house. She made her way through the streets, noticing that it was a comfortable temperature out today. In addition to that, there was little to no wind. Which was a good thing if you were going to be on a mission. People lazily milled about in the morning. A few had coffee pressed to their chests, using it to wake them up. Kaiiaki picked out those individuals, choosing to knock them over and laugh as hot coffee spilled upon their chests. She would laugh and run off as the villagers cursed at her, threatening her with the usual acts. But she didn't care. What were they going to do? She could kill them in an instant if she really wanted. After about 10 minutes of harrasing the villagers, Kaiiaki finally arrived at the Village Gates. An evil smile spread over her face, as she happened upon who she assumed to be her new sensei. It was comparable to that of a snake that smiles as it has its prey within its reach. "If you have not heard about me. You will learn today." She said coolly, not caring that she sounded cold to an absolute stranger.-

Takuya: Takuya remained calm the entire time, his clothes seemed a bit inconvenient for the weather, but he had trained himself to not mind this outfit in which he had forced upon himself. The outfit consisted of nothing, but black. His long sleeved shirt in which covered his torso was black with a very small trace of silver on his chest area. His legs covered with the same tinted form of clothes it being black, it reached up to his half calf section as the rest would be covered by his black shinobi sandals. His hair was usually recognized as shaggy and long, though he usually kept it hidden as at the moment only one person in the village actually knew of his identity. The other knowing of his special abilities and nothing else. Takuya would have this exact long hair covered and placed inside of his clothes, a black mask over his face in which only revealed one bang and his black dull eyes. He stood under the sun like nothing bothered him as a random villager passed by staring at Takuya thinking of him to be insane to have such a complexion in 75 degree weather. Not to mention it was sunny, Takuya looked at her confused on why she was staring so vigorously at him. He then asked “Ummm… is there anything wrong ma’am?” The lady then respond with what seemed to be an annoyed personality “You making me hot boy’ wearing all that color and layers in this type of weather! Hmph.” Takuya sighed and ignored her as she would end up walking away. Takuya waiting patiently then looked towards his side and noticed someone who would potentially be his student. He smirked under his black mask in which he had on since he left his home. The moment she arrived Takuya would lift his hand in a warm form of hello and say “You must be… Kaiiaki?” He asked with a raspy and muffled tone, his mask restricting the sound of his words so that his voice would be projected in a different tone. After she would respond he would tell her “Alright good to know, I am Takuya, your new sensei. I will brief you on everything you need to know on the way. We must get going and get this done quick.” He nodded towards her as he didn’t want to seem pushy, but this was a mission in which they needed to leave for. If she had followed as anticipated he would head towards the forest area, his Katana being located upon his back in a diagonal form. It was an odd place to place such a weapon, but it was for Takuya’s own preference. His pouches loaded with all the weapons he usually carried on missions. The only thing he did not carry on him at this moment was his Gunbai which is also known as ‘War fan.’ So that entailed his arsenal was regular without his gunbai which was the only item mission from it. If she had not left Takuya would remain there and wait until she had decided to take off with him. He didn’t really pay attention to anything else as he was only here to teach her and take her on missions. Takuya wasn’t very much of the type to get along with others as he usually relied on himself for his own tasks. Takuya would start off the conversation with Kaiiaki if she had followed “The task is to stop Onbaa’s in which had been causing havoc within the forests. It has been causing Genin and Civilians passing by trouble so our job is to remove them from the area by any means necessary.” He spoke straight forward and directly towards the girl, he literally acted like a teacher or a sensei to her, treating her with respect but at the same time showing signs of him being in charge. He then added “If you have any more questions feel free to ask.” Note all these questions, and information would be given to Kaiiaki even if she had not left. Takuya would only not really say anything if she had agreed to leave as he was in a hurry to begin the mission and finish it. He had hoped she had followed, but if not it would not matter to him as everything said would still be expressed. Over all Takuya would either be waiting for her and explaining what the mission was about, or if she had followed they would be running through the field heading towards the forest. He personally already possessed a mask and hoped Kaiiaki had brought one to exit the land known as Hoshigakure. If not Takuya would easily hand her an extra mask to evade the toxic mist in which inhabited the outskirts of Hoshigakure. Note, this would be done before setting out to do the mission so before anything would be said he would expect her to prepare herself to leave Hoshigakure.

Kaiiaki: - "I will go as I please bitch. I do not give a fuck if you are my 'sensei' or not. So do not think you can boss me around. Skip the niceties. I am not here to make friends. I am here for the ryo. So let us get that out of the way first, shall we?" She snarled at him, her impish tone of voice escalating to sounding more like a banshee when she got angry like this. "You do not want to make me mad. I will warn you of that." She spat at him, showing him who the one in charge really was. She reached into her bag, pulling out her own gas mask and strapped it on her face. "I do not want your charity, put that thing away." She growled if he had attempted to hand her an extra gas mask. Without a look in his direction, she began walking at a moderate pace out from the village gates. She had assumed that Takuya had handed their papers to be stamped for them to leave the village for the mission. The guards hadn't attempted to stop them and ask where they were going. So she had to assume the task had been done already. And she didn't exactly want to bother to ask him if he had done the simplest task. The two continued to walk, and Kaiiaki listened as he rattled off the mission details to her. ~This is much too easy. Why could they not give me a more difficult mission. Perhaps they thought this man was not enough to handle it by himself.~ She thought, glancing around at the usual scenery of the Hoshigakure border. Skeleton trees bordered the gates of Hoshigakure, as a few grew over at the cliff of the poisonous canyon as well. Poisonous gas floated up from the canyon, giving off the color of a vomit-green. As the two neared the cliff, Kaiiaki prepared herself to walk down it. She moved a small amount of chakra through her chakra network. Chakra moved down her legs, moving towards the soles of her feet. They covered the bottoms in an even amount, distributing perfectly. She assumed that Takuya would do the same, so she only waited a few seconds before taking off down the cliff. She sped down the side of the cliff, building up her momentum so that when she reached the bottom, she could basically fly across half of the canyon. It took about 65 feet, but she finally made it down to the bottom. When she got there, she skidded across the bottom. She dodged animal carcasses, trash, and various roots that happened to be in the way. The canyon was about 2 miles in length, so it wouldn't take them very long to reach the other side with a speed such as theirs. Kaiiaki estimated the Onbaa were somewhere up in the forest above. What had triggered their attacks, she did not know. Whatever it was, it was getting out of control and her mission was to stop them by any means necessary. She just hoped she could get back in home soon to get back to her mate.-

Takuya: Takuya looked at the girl with an awkward expression, he was confused if this girl had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, or she had forgotten her matters and how to respect others, especially comrades. Thought she continued babbling on and yelling at him, Takuya actually came to deem her quite annoying in general. He personally wanted to give her a one way trip into the genjutsu realm to possibly wake her up later during the mission to do her half. That sounded like a very viable option to him as he debated on doing so for a few seconds. Then he realized that it would be too harsh on such a young individual, after all it seemed she was not tainted by the means of war and killing enemies because you were ordered too. No not at all, the shinobi’s in which were lower ranked were barely classified or told to go out and kill others. Their objective usually lying between the knocking someone out stage. But in the real world of Shinobi’s it was kill or be killed in general. He didn’t really care for her words as he allowed her to yell all she wanted so her head could be all bloated about her being the leader of the squad. In fact Takuya didn’t even bother responding to her, he found her extremely rude and obnoxious now. Though there was one thing he was grateful about, he didn’t have to care about this girl at all. She had claimed things almost as if she was the squad leader, not to mention she even mentioned something about not wanting to be friends. Takuya himself found this factor rather exciting as he personally would never want a friend as rude as her. In fact she would be the one to actually run out in the middle of a battle field opposing a plan to ambush the opponent leading to several of their comrades to die, possibly including herself. He sighed in disbelief of this child he was tasked of watching as his student. This felt more like babysitting an 8 year old brat in his own eyes, though he never said anything to aggravate her and let her go off by her own assumptions. Following and explaining the situation and the mission he disregarded the fact she turned the mask down in a very disrespectful way. As stated Takuya barely cared about her in general, if she died he would deem it partially his fault, but mostly hers as she seemed to be the type to never listen. As she supposedly took lead he easily followed her and acted as if she was the squad leader. If she wanted to lead so badly, Takuya would give her a taste of what it felt like to be the leader. So instead of helping and leading her he would follow her and let her get lost if she did. His mask already being on as he followed and leaped of the canyon jumping outwards half way down to get a large jump and follow behind Kaiiaki. As he followed her, he even gave her a smart remark and said “So which way will it be now? After all you talk pretty big to be a squad leader. So you MUST know where we have to go.” He said to her in a remark to make her see where she was rude in general. He did not care of her reaction at all as what she did was not asked for. She would soon realize that Takuya was only teaching her a lesson in manners, something she needed to learn because she truly treated her comrades as garbage.

Kaiiaki: -Kaiiaki tried to ignore the jab that he had made at her. Although of course it irritated her, she wasn't going to show it. That was not how the evil game was played. Kaiiaki began to slow her pace slightly, so that she could nearly be side by side from him. "Look Big-Shot. If you had bothered to get to know me or at least my file, you would have seen that I was a wandering nomad before my residency here. Living in the forest and tracking animals, is something I know how to do easily. The forest was my home for years. I took and killed when I needed things. It would be wise for me to be in front and you cover my back. I do not want to be here anymore than you do. Or even work with you for that matter. But this mission is for my son." She narrowed her grey eyes at him when she spoke these words. However such a thing would easily not be seen from the gas mask that covered her face. She was abrasive in nature when meeting any stranger of course. But one thing that would be evident is the fact that she cared deeply for her son. Kaiiaki chose not to speak anymore on the subject, but instead concentrated her energy on the task at him. Sticks, skeleton trees, and brush covered their path, but they both did well to evade such things. Within a matter of about 3 minutes, the two had made it through the canyon and back up the other side of the cliff, the one facing the forest. Rocks and some dirt gave away as she pursued up the cliff, but she made it up safely without a hitch. Once she was atop the ground, she walked a few steps away from the cliffside. She pulled the mask off when she was clear of the poisonous gas and stuffed it back into her pouch. She glanced around, looking in all different directions. She was looking for any sort of disturbance such as clawed trees, signs of apparent struggle, anything out of the ordinary. Nothing looked out of the ordinary at first glance. They would have to travel deeper into the forest. -

Takuya:Takuya remained silent even after his comment she didn’t seem to get the point he was trying to get her to understand. But he understood her perspective for the fact that she was on this mission to support her son. It was truly understandable, but she was forgetting that Takuya also lived off of doing missions, he personally had done hundreds of these in the past. After all he was a previous anbu member back in Konoha before going ‘Rogue.’ Takuya sighed to her response as he decided to be light hearted a bit and respond to her “I understand you are working for your son, I do respect it, but I also live off this mission, I am also here to live and eat from this reward we get after finishing. As you said, you were a expert and lived as a nomad in the woods, lucky surprise because so have I. I do not wish to come out as disrespectful or rude towards you, but you must understand other shinobis are here for the same reason or similar reason as you.” He said with wisdom as it was nothing but the truth, she didn’t really know him at all. In fact Takuya in general was a shady figure in which correlated with her reaction to how Takuya commanded or took leadership of the mission. He then added “I am not here to fight at all, I have no ill will against you. I just want to finish this mission is all so my apologies” He said with a calm demeanor as he was truly sorry if she had taken it to disrespect. But in reality Takuya was more of assuring the missions success with make amends with his partner. After all he couldn’t let a stupid feud get in between the mission and ruin it. He kept calm and followed her throughout the area they were located reaching the other side of the canyon where the forest was located. He followed up behind her not moving his mask as he always had his filter attached to prevent toxins or any form of gas got into his system. He sighed and looked around looking for the possible animals in which were being troublesome. He sighed as he walked into the forest before approaching the girl once more and asking her “So what is your name? Sorry for not asking I was hoping to ask you after we left but then what happened interrupted me from doing so.” He asked hopping he can form some type of friendship or salvage the entire hatred between them only to turn it into something positive. He waited for her response as he continued to follow her and disregarded anything she would say that was rude.

Kaiiaki: - "I have ill will against all 'so called' humanity. Or what you would call the garbage of this existance. You are my ally of the moment on this mission. So long as it benefits me, I will work with you." She said simply, starting to walk off towards the entrance of the forest. "The name is Kaiiaki, of the Kurisutaru Clan." She continued to speak as she walked through a few bushes. "I am of a different type of race known as the Naiad. It was a race that came to be after Hoshigaki and Kurisutaru came together and mated. Thus the Naiad was made a rarity of the clan, having extreme chakra reserves and the appearance of star-kissed skin." Kaiiaki didn't ordinarily open up to people, but any chance she had to talk about herself she would take. She had pride in her clan and her bloodline, and she liked to show it off. "My clan has Crystal Release as their kekkei genkai. We are known and feared in many villages. Although there are those that hunt us.." Kaiiaki broke off from that sentence. She didn't want to let on too much about her suspicions about the people that were hunting down her clan. They were powerful indeed. Perhaps just enough that certain people could get a good use out of them. She decided now that she was going to stop talking and try to concentrate on the mission at hand. There was nothing more she wanted to say on the subject at the moment. Instead, her grey eyes focused upon the forest in front of her. As far as the eye could see, they were surrounded on all side by trees in varying sizes and species. Most of the trees towered above them in height, soaring up to the sky in length. Others bore branches and thorns that seemed to get in the way every time she took a step. With all the swatting of branches, she was about to let lose some Crystal Thorns into the area ahead. But with a second thought, realized that would be a bad idea. Instead, she continued her search, looking all around for any sign that an animal twice the size of a bear had been through this way. After a few minutes, Kaiiaki's eyes latched on to something. Directly off to the northwest of them about 15 feet, a tree branch lay cracked in half. This was no ordinary cracked tree branch. The cracked branch had been about 4 feet in width and 10 feet in length. Something had been through this way, something large and in charge so to speak. Kaiiaki gestured over to Takuya, pointing off to the branch. "I think we are on to something here."-

Takuya:Takuya listened to Kaiiaki as she explained her clan a bit more, he came to hear of such a clan but never crossed someone who was within it. Though his expression and voice tone never changed, almost showing as if he was not interested. But that was not the intention, the thing with Takuya was he was constantly thinking of other things at hand even while people talked to him and explained things to him. Luckily for most he was able to multitask. He responded with a low tone “I see, crystal release huh.” He nodded as he knew about the element, but never came across a full combat against one, though he had seen many in the past. He kept his calm listening the branches in the distance dance to a perfect sound as it eased him and caused him excitement. She didn’t really ask any questions about Takuya himself so he kept his last name and clan heritage amiss. Reason for this was because people hunted Uchihas for their special Dojutsu, him being one of the last few within the shinobi world, he need to assure his own survival, and that meant keeping his identity silent. He easily assisted her and followed her, as she seemed very experienced in the wilderness. Though he personally knew the location, he watched her keen sense of finding things out by herself. She truly impressed Takuya when she noticed something minimal to be connected to the animals they were hunting. He nodded as she had gestured towards him. The trees around him reaching far into the sky as he walked behind Kaiiaki slowly. He watched her six and made sure nothing would ambush them. After all he was already very skeptical about the area he was in. This was the mind of a person who was usually in combat. His eyes shifting left and right quickly. This was the eyes of a person who was very vigilant of his surroundings, he then commented “I’m impressed Kaiiaki, you have some exceptional skills. Noticing something that small, that’s something most people wouldn’t notice.” Saying this to compliment her skills, hoping she would not take the comment way over her head. He sighed and kept his eyes focused around him, looking out for anything in which related to the mission. Takuya himself would then say “We need to head deeper, about 2.5 miles north, and 1 kilometer west.” He said signifying that he knew the place all along, after all it was presented on the file with the mission details. It specifically gave coordinates of where they could potentially be. Takuya just wanted to speed the process up as he decided to take charge, putting his pride aside and ignoring the fact she knew what she was doing. Takuya then took off north heading at a high speed, but just enough for her to keep up. Takuya didn’t say a thing as it was obvious they should follow each other at all times to finish this mission fast. Another reason was because Takuya wanted to avoid ordering her around as she seemed to know what she was doing entirely. So simply Takuya had followed the details from the file and hoped she followed, if not he would stop before fully taking off to wait for her. He made sure not to reach out of her range just in case an ambush would happen. Takuya then noticed a few scratches on the trees in the direction he was heading towards. He wouldn’t doubt that Kaiiaki would see them while they travelled through the area. This was only heading north as they had yet to move west 1 kilometer.

Kaiiaki: -Kaiiaki raised a purple eyebrow in response to his praise to her. She wasn't sure if he was trying to butter her up or legitimately compliment her. "Yeah whatever." She shrugged it off, pointing her nose up to the sky. She was arrogant in her abilities, something she had picked up from her older sister Dahlia. Living amongst her sister for so many years, things tended to rub off as a trait of her own. She gave a vague nod, as she noticed from the tree the direction the animals were most likely to head. She estimated if they kept going in that direction, they would soon find the raging animals. Kaiiaki took off slightly behind Takuya, moving at her fastest speed. Her speed wasn't as high as his, but she could more or less keep up decently. Kaiiaki continued on, looking and listening for any sign of the Onbaa ahead. As she watched, she caught the sight of a few scratch marks upon the barks of trees. They were definitely heading in the right direction. Onbaa weren't exactly the most subtle in traveling. The markings upon trees gradually continued to increase as they closed in more distance on the pending location. As they got closer, Kaiiaki slowed her pace slightly. She didn't want to make too much noise in case the Onbaa were on a rampage. When the two were about 60 feet off from the given location, Kaiiaki noticed a stir in the trees. She immediately skidded to a stop, her feet pushing into the grass. "I see them." She whispered. There was no doubt, the back of an animal standing up 12 feet in height and spanning a width of about 5 feet towered over the remains of an unknown creature. It could have been human, but to be sure Kaiiaki would have to get closer than where she was. Silver-grey fur covered this humongous creature, enough to make a carpet from. She only saw one of the Onbaa right now, but she suspected there were too many far behind. These sort of animals weren't the type to travel alone, that much was evident. Kaiiaki wanted to stand their for a moment, taking refuge in the bushes and shadows. She wanted to observe the animal for a moment, observe its movements. Maybe if she watched long enough, the reason to its rampage would soon be revealed.-

Takuya:Takuya moved on ahead with caution at all times, he had read up on how the Onbaa’s have been causing havoc so attracting them might lead to actually exterminating them. This being the last thing Takuya wanted to do. He personally wanted to escort them to their home as a possible cause for their anger could be disorientation. He sighed as he saw the claw marks on tree barks getting more frequent. He heard Kaiiaki mention they were getting closer as he slowed himself down to avoid noise from being made. After all he wanted to avoid them knowing on their position or location. He noticed one in the distance, about 60 feet ahead. He kept an eye on the Onbaa as he was interested in what could be the reason for their anger. He personally could not perform a rash decision as it could risk them getting captured by their powerful grip. Which was noted to be extremely difficult to break in general, he calmly crouched down and stood within the shadows of the forest, using it to his advantage to blend in as most would say. He was still near Kaiiaki as he was within range of being able to whisper towards her. His eyes sharply glaring towards the distance and around him, he kept his eyes fully open to anything random which would happen. After all at the moment they could be considered to be in their territory, Takuya kept his mouth silent and listened to all sounds within the forest especially the ones around him and Kaiiaki, just in case they ambushed them he was able to respond. Though his goal was to save them, if they attacked savagely or threated to kill him or Kaiiaki, who would kill them all with no remorse. After all it was his job to make sure she returned unharmed and he had eliminated these creatures from here. He whispered to Kaiiaki “I wish to actually move them to their natural habitat, possibly they have been off track and have been trying to find their way back home. That might explain why they travelled so much in the forest. Not to mention the marks on the trees seem to be more of distress than anything else.” He spoke about the creatures almost as if he knew them entirely. Though he did not, he read up on information relating to them. He would express these as thoughts to see what Kaiiaki would say. He was interested in her expertise in wildlife. Who knows might learn something himself from someone like her.

Kaiiaki: "Are you crazy?" Kaiiaki interrupted his idea with a furious whisper. "How are you going to do that? Give them a treat and hope they appreciate it?" Kaiiaki laughed in the back of her throat. These creatures are agressive. Even if they have known you all their childhood, there is more of a chance they will attack you than befriend you. Intelligence and memory are not their strong suit. Kaiiaki turned her head back to face the single Onbaa. He didn't seem to be in an agressive stance at the moment. Which was to their advantage. She wanted to maim the creatures. The bloodlust seething from within influenced. It was if she could feel Kurama's very breath against the back of her neck. It was a difficult thing to ignore. Such a thing was always in the back of her mind. It was always harder to control when she was faced with danger. Instinct wanted to kick in, and tell her to fight. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as she watched the Onbaa continue to lumber around. It was if he was guarding something. Perhaps the other two Onbaa. "Look," she said, turning her head back to Takuya. "These are stupid animals. All they have is their power, no intellect and purely instinctive natures. You can use Genjutsu right? If it is your interest to draw them away, that is your best bet. But then you will also run into the problem of them coming back. If this is their nesting grounds that is. You would have to keep them locked in the Genjutsu and bring them to a different location. I would have to grab what I can of their nest and move it to that location. Or I could easily take them out with one of my crystal jutsu without either of us receiving injuries."-

Takuya:Takuya sighed to her furious whisper, but then again he was a specialized ninja in Genjutsu. Though this was not a situation to actually enforce such a thing unless absolutely necessary. He listened to Kaiiaki explain their options, claiming the best option was to kill them as they were aggressive creature. In some factor she was right. But how could you blame an animal in which was moved from its natural habitat? Who knows, Takuya and Kaiiaki had no idea if this was their home turf leading to a sense of confusion. He needed to understand why these creatures where in this area, he could always defeat them by knocking them out physically and moving them personally, but it would take too much effort in general. As much as Takuya wanted to keep them alive the options where very slim, he looked towards Kaiiaki and asked her “What makes you sure this is their home turf?” Asking almost as if he was still interested with his first plan on moving them in a passive form. Killing them was not the right thing to do as they possibly possessed children. These being thoughts in which caused Takuya mixed emotions in general. Thinking about the baby Onbaa’s who would live alone only to cause more havoc at the end. Takuya gritted his teeth tightly in anger as something seemed to be over taking him. It was more of an impulse than anything. A thump happened internally as his mood slowly showed signs of changing. Though he never actually transitioned into that personality, at least not yet. The reason for this was because he began to have flash back of the countless families he murdered for Konoha, killing parents who had children to feed only for the greed of the powerful and rich. This being the conflict and main reason why he couldn’t bring himself to actually kill them. His innocence as Takuya was restricting him to do so. His dull black eyes begin to shake and became blurred as he whispered towards the girl “Violence only breeds more violence… Even if these are just animals, do you really think if we kill them they will allow be happy? Not at all I’m very sure they will retaliate. We need to take a different approach, you might find it funny but I am totally against the idea of killing these creatures without a real given reason apart from them causing havoc. Have they killed any Humans to deserve such a terrible rebuttal?” He asked with the little bit of kindness in his heart hoping she would understand his perspective. Then after he asked her “If you can, please check the perimeter for any nest involving this being their habitat, please…” He asked calmly and very nicely hoping she would actually follow up and search for it. He wouldn’t have to tell her to be as quiet as possible as it was obvious it was a stealth objective. He would remain calm and if she headed out, Takuya regretted doing this, but to keep an eye on Kaiiaki as he started becoming fond of her. He couldn’t have her return harmed, this mission didn’t involve real enemies so there was no purpose for that to happen. Takuya then closed his eyes and opened them revealing his Sharingan and keeping a look on Kaiiaki’s chakra. It being used as a form of support only. No one but Masaru himself knew about Takuya’s sharingan as he kept this hidden and barely used it around anyone unless needed for a mission or to assure something. His eyes keeping open to the area around him and Kaiiaki’s chakra signal as he watched it carefully and her distance. Now if she did not follow the objective Takuya had given her, he would not even bother activating his sharingan as there was no real purpose in using it if she was nearby him the entire time. Takuya himself had disregarded her murderous intent as he didn’t really want to take it as far as to killing innocent animals. After all they greatly benefited nature, something Takuya loved more than anything else.

Kaiiaki: -She had to blink a few times to realize what was going on in front of her. For a moment, Takuya seemed lost in the back of his mind. It was as if he was no longer there in the present time, but elsewhere. "Uuhhh...hello?" Kaiiaki snapped her fingers in front of his face several times. It took a minute, but he finally seemed to snap out of wherever he just went. When he came back, it was almost as if he had a different personality, or different characteristics. Kaiiaki raised her eyebrows at him. ~What kind of lunatic did they pair me up with?~ She thought to herself. There was definitely something off about him. But she decided to not pry further into the matter for now. They were on a mission and that was the top priority at the moment. "Uhm, yeah they have killed humans. Remember? That's why we are here? They have been terrorizing anyone coming in or out? Geeze what is with you." She complained to him, shaking her head. "Yeah I will go check it out." She said before giving another bewildered glance in his direction. If anything it would get her away from the crazy one. Which in part, she could relate to because of her psychotic outbursts from Kurama. She still had them occasionally, but not as often now thanks to her previous training with Kumiko. Still, it was an odd thing to witness coming from another person. It was one thing if it was oneself. Kaiiaki shook her head once more before pouncing off to a tree about 10 feet from her last position. It was moreso to the west direction. She wanted to sort of circle around, and not get too close to the easily enraged animals. Another pounce, and she shrugged off another 10 feet to the North this time. She took it 10 feet at a time, pausing between each to make sure she hadn't made any noticeable noise. Once she had gotten lodged into a tree about 10 feet to the west of the Onbaa she stopped. Her eyes gazed over to it, observing it for any changes in behavior. It still managed to be about the same, pacing around and shaking the nearby earth with its steps. Kaiiaki glanced around the open area in front of her tree. There were a few trees dislodged from their roots, and lay on their side. The power these animals had was jaw-dropping. Just a single swipe of their arm could probably put Kaiiaki in the hospital for months. This made her sweat slightly as she thought about that. Her grey eyes continued to scan around the area, and finally, she found what she was looking for. Off to the North approximately 25 feet, lay a cave. It appeared if some ragged clothing, were spilling out of it. Kaiiaki wanted to find out if the other two supposed Onbaa were within it. But she didn't want to make any sudden movements. There was a nest there of course. This was the sign of one. Kaiiaki nodded her head over Takuya, motioning for him that there was in fact a nest. She then held her position and waited for further instruction.-

Takuya:Takuya noticed the snapping in his face which seemed to be coming from Kaiiaki, this happening he did not react to it at all. He simply kept his calm and remained controled for as long as he could. His mind in a battle with itself at the moment while she left. The words coming back into his head and talking to Takuya, the voice in his head known as Takuza. He looked towards the direction in which Kaiiaki was traveling and noticed her slowing down, what was odd was the fact that she had not really moved at a certain point, moving slower than before as it must have been because an onbaa was near her. Takuya took his position of preparing himself performing the Tiger hand seal and preparing his chakra to perform the jutsu known as Body flicker just in case if it was needed for combat. Noting her movements and her getting away from the Onbaa slowly, he noted she was quite skilled in performing stealth operations. He would even consider this for the future for possibly more complicated stealth related missions. But over all his sharingan watched her carefully. Her chakra signal leading exactly to where she was, seeing her position and all he noted her nod in which only meant one thing, this meant their nest was within a cave. He noted this and used his chakra to travel towards her location via Body flicker technique. His body vanishing within seconds and literally appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye. Just his body would appear from the corner of her eye, he smirked as he said “We have no choice but to eliminate them, since they have a nest here that means even if we trick them and get them out of here they will eventually follow their own marks back here.” He seemed different as the entire time she was gone Takuya and Takuza were battling mentally. But eventually ended up making both personalities one, this being the ‘real’ Takuya. The other being just one that handles situations calmly without transcending to killing. This Takuya was both together at once, though it would stain the other Takuya’s mind it would be fine as he would eventually have to get over it and forget it with time. He placed his hand over the Katana which was located on his back. Easily pulling it from the hilt towards the left with his left hand, he was able to spin it in hand into a comfortable position to attack any Onbaa which came in his direction. He was now all for killing the Onbaa’s as he told the girl “Let’s remove them and go home.” He nodded to her waiting for her to be ready to continue on forward with actually eliminating the Onbaa’s. The katana being held in his left hand as he wielded it passively preparing himself to actually go take them down.

Kaiiaki: - Kaiiaki had to do a double take as she saw Takuya appear right beside of her in the tree. "That is a nice trick." She muttered sarcastically. She listened to what he had planned, and was surprised he had totally changed his mind from earlier. Hadn't he wanted to save the animals? And Kaiiaki had even suggested plans for either/or. She stared at him, a confused expression upon her face. But she finally shook her head. "I hope I do not get shit for this later. If we are going to take them out, I am going to need you to draw them into my trap.I could use Crystal Thorns, but there is a risk of you getting injured as well from that. So I will form a Crystal Imprisonment Wave which will encase them completely in crystal. I can easily form these, they just have to be mid-range towards me. So about 12 feet. I will stay here in this tree out of sight. When I see them get close enough, I will form the crystal around their bodies. They will be immobile and have no hope of escaping. It will take me a few minutes to prepare for this." Without another word, Kaiiaki focused a single one-handed hand sign. Then, she began to focus her chakra within her core. It would take awhile to prepare for such a wide scale jutsu in order to cover the entire animal. So she would have to prepare to use the appropriate amount of chakra in advance.-

Takuya: Takuya listened to Kaiiaki propose her way of dealing with the enemy, he noted her attack my off been powerful to kill those who are near each other being perfect for cluster like areas. Though the way she planned on using it seemed too risky even for working together. Putting your comrade in potential danger is never the right way to go about things. As she went on to explain what she can do with her jutsu and how she would utilize it Takuya kept a normal face expression through it all. Even the girl could not tell the difference in who he was, apart from the fact he changed in the fact of actually taking the onbaa’s out. He responded to Kaiiaki during her hand seals “There is a potential that the other two Onbaa’s are in the cave, use your crystal Thorns in the cave and I will take care of the Onbaa on the outside.” He gave her more enemies because he technique was heavily affiliated with killing enemies in which were together at the same place, the fact it was in the cave might of lead to the fact that the Onbaa’s would have nowhere to escape at all. Takuya stepped forward and used the same jutsu known as the Body flicker in which he never released. Using this move he transported to the area in which the wild Onbaa was located. His sharingan being active as he appeared by the Onbaa, he still had it active for just in case something was to happen to Kaiiaki so he would be able to respond quickly. He whispered to himself “Such a pity” before approaching it slowly, his intent being more of a murdering intent pulsing through his head. He waited patiently for the Onbaa to catch onto him, Takuya having no fear at all in his body, almost as if this was second nature to him.

Kaiiaki: -"Hey! Wait!" Kaiiaki whispered furiously from her position in the tree. "Damn it. I cannot perform two jutsu at once. And neither can I keep my eye on all the Onbaa at once! You better know what you are doing!! I would rather not drag a corpse home. Or..." She took a minute to think about that. "Okay maybe I would. Autopsies are always fun." But she also didn't want to get demoted to D and C rank missions for a failed B rank mission. "Damn it." She cursed silently before pouncing off to a distance of 5 feet in front of the cave. She peered inside, seeing a scene within that even surprised her. Two adult Onbaa were inside the cave, tearing meat off of what looked to be the remains of a human being. Bloody flesh dripped from their mouths. Their claws tore at the meat as if it were feathers. Those claws could easily be sharp enough to skin someone alive. ~How disgusting..~ Kaiiaki thought to herself, seeing the scene unfold in front of her. She wanted to stop what she was seeing immediately and never see such a thing again. Kaiiaki got to work mixing her chakra with the molecules in the air behind the Onbaa. Luckily it looked like the animals were so caught up in their meal, they didn't even notice her small figure. Kaiiaki formed the Crystal Thorns 2 feet behind the farthest Onbaa. The crystal thorns would be about 8 feet in height and 4 feet in length. 4 Crystal thorns would branch off from this in the same size and length. They would grow and stab through the Onbaa's stomachs and hearts in a manner of 3 seconds if they made no attempt to move. If they did move however, Kaiiaki would instantly form the same size and lengths of the crystals directly in front of her as a form of protection. They would move out and aim their stabs towards the Onbaa in the same exact places. Either way, the Onbaa here were going to be trapped and killed. She wasn't paying attention to what Takuya was doing. but she could still somewhat sense his chakra. So he hadn't been killed yet at least. She hoped his "hot-head" personality knew what it was doing. Otherwise he could end up a pile of hamburger meat.-

Onbaa(NPC):~The Outside Onbaa, which I’m going to call OO to say some typing time, kept watch intensively, doing its best to make sure nothing slipped past as the rest of his pack ate within the cave. The Inside Onbaa, which I’m going to call IO1 and IO2, where rather focused on their meal, relying completely on OO to alert them if a danger was present. It seemed danger wasn’t too far off, as Takuya appeared in front of OO, his sword drawn and his Sharingan activated. OO instinctively let out a loud and low pitched grunt repetitively, in an attempt to alert the rest of the pack. It also alerted other animals in the area, as some developed a dependence of the Onbaa’s alert as their own as they did not travel in packs, and it would be hard for them to eat as well as stay alert to any nearby predators. A few birds scatter in response to the low grunts, as well as some smaller ground mammals. OO did not rush Takuya just yet, in fact he wouldn’t move for at least three seconds while he gave out his grunts of alert. Even if OO got off one grunt, it would alert the other two Onbaa’s. Considering Takuya wasn’t rushing at OO either, he had a bit of time to sound the alarm so to speak. If IO1 and IO2 heard it, they would drop their meal and instantly turn around in order to see Kaiiaki just coming within view of the cave. They did not hesistate in their rush towards her, seeing her as an instant threat, though she just came into view and didn’t pose any immediate harm to them as far as they could tell. But then again, these creatures weren’t serious thinkers and acted upon instinct, and attacking whatever comes into sight after an alarm is sounded, was instinct for them. IO1 would run from the left, IO2 running from the right. It was a rush formation they would use on prey in order to trap them between them before taking them down. Since Kai was only five feet away from the front of the cave, both of the Onbaa would arrive to her in about four seconds considering they weren’t deep in the cave as Kai would have been able to see them in their current position had they not moved or noticed her. As the Onbaa closed in on Kai, IO1 would attempt to deliver a powerful slash to Kai’s chest that would cause a lot of bleeding and pain, but not anything fatal. IO2 would attempt to deliver a slash to her left calf leg at the same time IO1 would be attempting its chest slash. IO2’s slash would be the more serious as though it was focused around the calf muscle, it had a chance of tearing into Kai’s Achilles Tendon, which would disable her from walking upon that left leg. This all assuming the alert gets off in the first place. If it didn’t, the two Onbaa inside the cave would simply not know an enemy was afoot, and be impaled by Kai’s jutsu before dying almost instantly. ~

Takuya: Takuya kept his calm the entire time while he stared at the Onbaa, he was aware of his position as he stared right back at Takuya in the same aggressive fashion. Waiting patiently for a movement Takuya was able to successfully hear the loud grunt, due to their close proximity Takuya attempted to make eye contact with the Onbaa. Though he attempted to do so, he took no chances and dashed forward at an extremely high speed towards the Onbaa. At this point Takuya was using his full speed as he dashed so quickly even the Onbaa would be slightly surprised with how quick he approached him. The moment he reached the Onbaa he kept his eyes fixated on making eye contact with the Onbaa, his Katana then pulling upwards from the ground in a diagonal fashion. Before reaching the Onbaa Takuya pushed his weight back and skidding against the ground reaching exactly 2 feet from where the Onbaa was located. His Katana’s blade moving swiftly within the blink of an eye would attempt to connect from the bottom of the Onbaa’s chest possibly cutting him open diagonally. This being done the moment he performed a singular grunt as by the time he attempted to strike him he would deliver the second grunt. This only meant he was alerting his friends. This meaning Takuya had to kill this Onbaa here and now to assist Kaiiaki just in case. If this slash was successful it would cut the Onbaa open in a diagonal fashion easily putting him in a position where it was mentally in shock. Takuya wasting to time to give the Onbaa a chance to bounce back and retaliate, this being done by having the sharp edge of his Katana facing inwards by a specific positioning of his wrist. After he attempted to strike the Onbaa with the first strike he quickly readjusted his wrists positioning, placing the blade of his katana in the perfect angle to face the onbaa’s flesh. He then pulled his arm towards the left side after the diagonal slash attempt. This being aimed to vertically slash the Onbaa’s head off clean. Takuya was taking no chances against these savage animals. If the Onba was successfully hit with this Combo it would be killed almost instantly after both strikes. Thought Takuya kept his sharingan well fixated on the Onbaa just in case something unexpected happened. After these events the Onbaa would be on the ground decapitated and completely deceased. If this was successfully performed Takuya would then perform the Tiger hand seal once more to use the Body flicker technique once more to appear next to Kaiiaki or nearby her location to assist her if she needed the help. Though this would only happen if he had successfully taken out the first Onbaa.

Kaiiaki: -Kaiiaki's ears perked up as she heard the sound of the first Onbaa grunting in alarm. "Damn it." She silently cursed. It was a call for help. She had recognized this tone as she had spent so many years in the untamed wilderness. The other two Onbaa were alerted now, and now she wouldn't have the silent killing she had attempted to do in the first place. Takuya certainly wasn't one for subtlety. Without giving the Onbaa a chance to charge her, she activated chakra into the soles of her feet, and pounced up onto the cliff house the cave. Her new position would be about 6 feet up from above the cave. She certainly wasn't one to face an opponent or enemy face on. She was more of the one to support others in combat with her moves. But in this case, she had no choice but to put in some full on combat. Kaiiaki activated her single one-handed hand sign as she watched silently from the cliff above. She would be safe here, but she wasn't sure Takuya would be. The Onbaa most likely would attack anything they would see in sight. And since she wasn't in their direct line of sight, they wouldn't see her. But they would see Takuya. Kaiiaki quickly mixed her chakra within her core, moving a steady high amount of it through her chakra network. Within 20 seconds, she would be able to use her technique. She just hoped the Takuya would be able to survive by himself upon the ground with 3 Onbaa after him at once. Things weren't looking good down there, she needed to step in. Without moving from her position, she formed her jutsu. Since the jutsu had taken her so long to prepare, the technique was one that could be formed instantly. And this technique also allowed her to target multiple targets at once. With a wave of her left hand, she mixed her chakra in the air in the area completely around each Onbaa. All the way from their head to their toes, Kaiiaki mixed her chakra in that entire 1 foot area in front of them. As long as Takuya was not within 1 foot of the Onbaa, the attack would not capture him as well. She was trying to be cautious about not putting him in the jutsu by limiting the perimeter of the jutsu around each animal. But she was out of time and needed to kill the animals instantly. If the animals would stay in the open field area, Kaiiaki would have them trapped within the Crystal Imprisonment Wave jutsu. If they had somehow fled the area within the 20 seconds, that would be their only hope of escape from becoming a crystal ornament the size of a tree itself.

Onbaa(NPC):~OO tried to react, but the movements were too quick for it. It quickly found itself sliced and diced as its head rolled on the ground a bit. IO1 and IO2 quickly lost sight of Kai, as she jumped up to the cliff the housed the cave, taking her from sight. To pursue her was a waste of time to them, plus they didn’t fully know where she went. They turned their attention to Takuya, who sat around 21 feet away. They began to charge him furiously, in the same formation they would have charged Kai with, IO1 taking the right side, IO2 taking the left with a good six foot gap between them. Before they even got to Takuya though, he was gone from their sight, and they were left confused. They looked around, dumbfounded, trying to find a simple trace of where the man went. They began to sniff around, picking up the scent of both Kai and Takuya and ready to hunt them down. But before they could do that, they found themselves trapped with a crystal prison, in which they had no hope of escaping from. This was basically the end of the road for them. Their days of terror, were over. ~

Takuya:Takuya had successfully removed the Onbaa with nothing but a few quick movements in which it wasn’t able to keep up with. Its chest being slashed open and his head being cut off clean, the blood easily splashing over Takuya as it stained his clothes easily. After killing the Onbaa Takuya used the Body flicker to vanish and leave the area in which the other Onbaa furiously charged at him. Sadly they had missed him by a hair as he appeared by Kaiiaki. His personality being back to its innocent like form with no range being inhibited through him. The mind of Takuya was truly complex, but at the moment Takuya was acting as if he had done nothing and removed his sharingan from few entirely. He then said to Kaiiaki as he recalled her calling out to him. “I apologize for leaving you earlier. Just something got the best of me…” He scratched the back of his head nervously due to her aggressive behavior hoping she would someone understand what was going on. He then watched as she had performed her jutsu and captured the Onbaa’s successfully in the crystal prison. He kept a calm demeanor as he knew that he was unable to tell her to spare their lives. After all they had performed hideous crimes in which they needed to answer for. He looked towards her and gave her a nod, hoping she would understand that she should just finish it off so they could head home. After that he would realize the Katana was still in his hand as he swung it towards his left side in which he had appeared to Kai’s left. He swung the blade outwards in a fast motion to get the blood off the sword and re-sheathe the entire blade after. He waited patiently for Kaiiaki to finish the job so they could go home, after all their mission of capturing and stopping the Onbaa’s in which were causing havoc was now complete. There was really no other reason for Kaiiaki and Takuya to still be here.

Kaiiaki: -Kaiiaki smirked as she had successfully captured the remaining Onbaa in her Crystal Imprisonment Wave jutsu. It wasn't as if they could have seen it coming. Who could see molecules being formed in the air? Kaiiaki guessed that probably even the most skilled Dojutsu ninja couldn't see anything like that. Once the Onbaa had been completely encased within the crystal, Kaiiaki shattered the Crystal. She did this by waving her arm over the two crystal make-shift coffins. And with that, the Onbaa would be no more. They would have even had ashes that remain. They would just become more molecules that the Earth would return to their natural order. Kaiiaki finally turned to Takuya after she had taken care of the last of them. "Yeah. Nice job you did there. Hope you know how to get blood stains out of clothes." She spoke sarcastically. Either way, they had gotten the mission done and neither of them had gotten injurned in the process. Kaiiaki was impressed with her physical progress. Perhaps after some more training, she would even be able to attempt the Jonin exams this year. Kaiiaki pounced down from the cliff, landing upon the ground in front of the cave. "You made a messy job of this one." She spoke, recognizing the mutilated form of the first Onbaa. She quickly formed her chakra around the entire area of the fallen Onbaa, this time using her Crystal Pentagonal Prison jutsu. The crystal formed underneat in the ground, and jutted upwards instantly. It covered the length and width of the animal. Once it was encased, she shattered the crystal prison with a wave of her right hand. This in turn would shatter the remains of the last Onbaa as well. "If another Onbaa would have seen one like this, we would just have a repeat situation on hand. It is much smarter to not leave a trace." She narrowed her eyes at him. She was still completely miffed about the fact he had taken off without her, trying to do his own thing. This could have been much messier. She was relieved however, that things had not taken a wrong turn. Without another glance at him, she pounced back off into the forest, making her way home with Takuya tagging along shortly behind her.-
