Team 3: The First Test

JaeAre: 4 hours of sleep... that is all he would get after a bed hogging and sleep punching Nakara would allow, as he was awoken by a slight streak of sunlight beaming it's way through a crack in their tent. He would run his drowsy water eyes, as he looked at the clock on the end table to his left. It would read 6:30, he would have an hour to get ready and make his way to the training grounds and await the arrival of his team, but first he would have to defeat the death grip Nakara had around his torso. After about five minutes prying her arms from himself he would grab his blue robe with black trim that had his clan's emblem embroidered as he would tie a knot in the front, grab a bucket, and head to the well nearby to gather some water to wash himself. He would walk the empty streets of Konoha as normal there were not many people out at this time other than the shop owners and workers setting up their businesses, those that still stand after the earthquake, for the influx of people who would inhabit the streets in a few hours. Tsuneo would reach the well pumping it until his bucket was about half full and begin to splash it upon his face and hair. The water was cool and refreshing and it dripped from his faced as if it were raining. Grabbing the towel that lay upon his left shoulder he would dry himself off and begin to brush his teeth before emptying the bucket of water into a nearby drain, making his way back to the tent so he could begin getting ready to meet his team who would probably be doing the same as he at the moment. Laying the bucket outside of the opening of the tent, he would open the flap as he saw Nakara was still fast asleep as if he had never left the bed as she had her death grip locked on the pillow instead of him he would whisper under his breathe "Poor pillow... better you than me though" as he would grin and begin to gather his things. Tsuneo would gather his normal attire. His black undershirt, black slightly baggy pants, his favorite laced black open toed boots, his green flak, the headband passed down to him that belonged to his grandfather, and his grandfathers blue crystal necklace. After getting himself situated and dressed to his liking he would lastly comb his hair back into a small ponytail and tie up with a small rubber band before finally tying his headband around his forehead. Looking at the clock he would panic just a tad as it read 7:10 leaving him 20 minutes to reach the grounds before his students hoping one had not arrived before himself as it may leave a bad example. Hurring himself he would quickly fill his pouches with 7 kunai and 20 shuriken before strapping his katana also passed to him from his father and grand father as he would make his way quickly to the training grounds just outside of the village. Though a few more people were wandering the recently renovated streets of Konoha it was still quite dead as he would pick up the pace looking around to see if he would see any of his students making their way at the same time, but couldn't spot either of the 3. After about 3 minutes he would reach the main gate and head westbound to the training grounds in the forest and should be there at exactly 7:20 if he hurried himself. After being stuck in the face with a branch, he would shrug it off by shaking his head and finally reach the grounds, all he saw were three wooden stumps and nothing else just a clear field and the three stumps "Shew.... thought I'd be late for sure" he would say before making his way to the stump nearest to the clearing, leaning up against it and pulling his pack of cigarettes out bouncing the pack off his right thigh making one pop out slightly then proceed to grab it with his lips before finally lighting it. Tsuneo would take a long a drag from the recently lit cigarette and mutter "Now, we wait" folding his arms while leaning against the stump scouting the openings in the forest awaiting the first arrival.

Eveline: -Eve had gone directly home after her confrontation with her new Sensai. Having met the aspiration of being home, all that was left was her desire to entertain herself. Was that all she wanted out of life? It wasn't a bad aspiration, we should all aspire to be happy, but it was very broad. Eve finished out the day with a light workout, not wanting to stress herself for the next day. It was about 6:30am when Eve woke up from her sleep. The sun had yet to come up, so she was able to open her eyes with no issue.She liked waking up before the sun, specificly so that her eyes wouldn't be overwhelmed with light and her ears with sound. She got up, took a shower, and got dressed for the day. She wore light attire, a black outfit that covered a majority of her body asside from her shoulders and thighs, metal bracers on her arm to protect herself from most blades and projectiles, and boots with a strong grip, for running purposes. On her person, she carried her ninja tools (See bio). Two of her daggers, however, were disguised as a small bo-staff on her back. The only thing that would give it away was the small lines on the end of each side of the bo-staff. The lines were about as far in as a hand length, and were deep enough to imply that they were detachable. however, one would have to closly study the weapon in order to figure that out. She opened her door and walked out into the hall. Like she had been about a half hour ago, most of the kids were out and about, getting down to the baths and what not. Eve was already started on her day. She was supposed to meet with her Sensai around 7:30 if she recalled correctly. That left her about a half hour to have breakfast and arrive at the training grounds. She stopped by a baker in town and bought herself a small roll. She bit into it and finished it while walking to the gates. As soon as she got to the gates, she began hopping from tree to tree before she arrived at the clearing to see her Sensai sitting next to a log. She was about 5 minutes early.- Time: 7:25

Guest\_Lilius: -Lilius sat on the log with her legs crossed. Her hands that were sticky with the sap from the flowers she was weaving into a small crown. Her mother, Asami, sat behind her, humming a quiet melody whilst sticking small white buds into her hair.- “Can you tell me what heals colds and fevers?” -Her mother asked. Lilius slowly tucked a stem and pulled the end through a loop of fiber like a needle through cloth.- “Catnip.” -Lilius felt Asami’s warm and pat her head a few times and Lilius lovingly accepted the affectionate gesture and continued her crown. She loved this trivia her mother put her through because of the tiny rewards she’d get and the praise her mother dished out.- “There. Done.” -Lilius stood up, brushing the stray leaves and wilted flowers off her lower half. She turned around and beamed at her mother while setting the crown of identical flowers to the ones in her hair on Asami’s head. Asami slowly grasped Lilius’s hand and placed a tender kiss on it.- “Such a lovely daughter with lovely hair.” -She was used to her gushing, so the compliments didn’t embarrass her or make her feel overstated in any way. Asami loved to enthusiastically dote on her daughter, and in turn only received pure love. She was her mother and her dearest friend.- “Remember what I said when you were little and would fall asleep?” -The young Lilius shook her head, careful not to let any of the flora fall to the forest’s floor.- “Your hair looks like the dawn, which is why I always repeat a mantra of sorts: ‘Be like the dawn. It is ever-present, and even an overcast sky cannot stop the dawn from happening. You must look above the clouds for the light you seek when they are oppressing you’. Do you understand?” “Yes, Mommy.” -Lilius lunged forward and wrapped her arms around her mother.- “I love you!” -Asami patted her back and vibrated with a deep laugh.- “I love you too, sweetheart. My little ray of dawn.” -Lilius woke up from her dream, rubbing her eyes and struggled to peer through them. A hazy film refused to leave her sight and she groaned while getting up. The darkness had brought a chill along with it, so she stood shivering in her underpants and a thin tank top. Her clothes rested on top of her dresser while her bra hung on the bathroom doorknob. So she wasn’t the best at organization, but she knew where everything was and if it was clean enough to wear or not. She went through her daily process of getting ready which consisted taming her hair and forcing herself to eat some breakfast, though she was never hungry in the morning. She exited her small room which was shack-like due to recent unexpected demolition. She uncapped a small water canteen while she walked on the dark dirt path towards the center of the village before turning left on a road towards the grounds Sensei Senju had told the team to meet. She smiled warmly at the sun as it broke above the horizon. She wondered if her mother was seeing the same beautiful sunrise as her and continued down the path to her destination.-

CadetHipster: The rain was pouring down on Konohagakure while a young Akemi Hatake awaited her fathers return to their home where she could hear about his mission and his sword techniques, She would notice the other Anbu walk past her with a grim look on their face, She didnt see her father so she just shrugged and thought he would nip into the shops for their dinner due to them not having any food in the house. Akemi walked back into her home and sat on her bed watching the rain fall onto the window. After a few hours Akemi heard her front door open, She ran into the person thinking it was her father. "Daddy, You got home safe, I  missed you so much" Spoke Akemi now looking up and realising she was hugging her neighbour. "Y-Your not my dad.. Where is he?" Questioned Akemi now standing back and collapsing to the floor when she was told her father had been killed. Akemi jolted up in her bed and wiped her eyes from the tears that had begun to collect on her cheeks. "D-Dad?" Spoke Akemi into the darkness that surrounded her, She turned her head to the window and realised the sun hadnt even appeared yet, She knew it was around 6am so she just stood up and walked into her bathroom now stripping of her sleeping clothes and walking into the shower now letting the warmth of the shower shoot down onto her skin, She sighed as she ran her hand threw her hair and allowing the water to collect on her cheeks and other body parts. She stepped out of the shower once she had washed her hair and her body,  She placed the towel around her body and stood in front of the mirror sighing as she realised she was getting a little thin, She hadnt eaten anything proper since the earthquake and it was beginning to show. Her ribs were now showing so she decided today would be the day she would open her fathers room since his death, Akemi brushed her hair and brushed her teeth now walking into her room and getting changed, She turned to her clock and it read 7am. She had plenty of time since she lived in the forrest and so she could leave and be there within a few moments, Akemi walked into her fathers room and opened his draws now pulling out a coat he used to wear all the time while training, She would put the jacket on and looked at herself in her fathers mirror, She smiled as she looked like a miniture him. Akemi walked out of her fathers room and decided to grab a slice of toast, While waiting for the toast she filled her pouch up and placed it on her thigh now going to finish her toast, Once she had finished the toast she left her home and hugged the coat closer to her body while she walked to the training area her sensei had asked her to go to, Akemi reached the training area and saw her sensei and her other two team mates, She nodded and looked down still holding the coat closer to her body not wanting anyone to notice her frame. She left her hair down now finding it a good way to hide her face and the glum look that plastered her face.

JaeAre: Now smoking his second cigarette of the day, he would take one long puff after another awaiting his student's arrival. Just as he was about to flick the cigarette butt onto the ground he could sense someone approaching as he looked in the general direction he was sensing the presence from. Tsuneo would squint his eyes as if the sun were beating unto them and he couldn't see, as he could faintly see the small figure inside the tree line. He would rub his tired eye's to make out who it was, upon further looking he could make out that it was little Eve the silent introvert sitting in a crouched position upon a tree branch. He would point in her general direction and motion her over, as he looked at his watch right after "7:25... she is early I like her already" not seconds after he would look up and straight ahead of himself at another clearing that lead to the grounds. He would notice another little figure making its way towards him. Noticing the bright purple hair from a distance he would immediately recognize that it was indeed little Lilius, as he would form a cup with his hands around his mouth and shout "Lilius come over here so we can get this started!" as he would motion with hand right after. Scratching the back of his head, wondering were the last of his three little pupils was he would come from his leaned position on the tree stump and put his left hand in a horizontal position above his brow line scouting the tree's and two clearings around him awaiting the little bouncing red headed Hatake to make her way towards the training grounds. Looking at his watch once more it would read "7:28" and not but maybe a half second after looking up there she was, but today she was wearing her down and a rather large coat as if she were hiding something, because it wasn't very cold out it drew his attention slightly, but he would just shrug it off. Waving her over as well, Tsuneo would take his spot back leaning against the tree stump awaiting all 3 members of his squad to gather around him so he could brief them on their traditional "Bell-Test" as every newly formed Genin squad goes through to prove themselves worthy to their newly appointed sensei. Tsuneo would put his left hand up to his tuft of chin hair and just stroke it ever so slightly as he would briefly think about how they would work together against himself, as he would wait for them to make their way to him.

Eveline: -Eve rubbed her right eye. She may not have been tired, but her body was still waking up. Reguardless, when the adrenalin started to pump, Eve would be more than ready to move in an instant. She had a pretty good idea of how today was going to go down. Some sort of test. She'd done something like it before, but she wondered if it was the same exact thing as last time. Eve stood next to her sensai and crossed her arms, waiting for the other two girls to get closer. She assumed they would all be breifed soon.-

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius waved back at her sensei, greeting him and signaling that she had heard him. While walking towards the clearing he was resting in, she noticed a figure emerging from the tree-line on the side and noticed it was Akemi. She smiled her group member and noticed Eve standing next to Sensei. She looked so adorable with her curled up hand rubbing against her eyes, but she decided not to make note of it out loud because it may just agitate the anti-social girl. Lilius adjusted her scarf and came to a halt before the other people in the clearing.- “Morning, everyone. By the way, I have water if anyone gets thirsty.” -She waved her hand near where she had the canteen strapped to her hip. She glanced over at Akemi, smiling sympathetically at her. She looked like she’d ran into death on the way here with the way she looked, but she decided not to prod her because, like Eve, that probably wouldn’t be best to point out. She may just have been on edge about the training. Lilius turned to face Senju-sensei and decided to plop down on the wet grass. She dug her fingers into the earth slightly, tilling it gently like she would back home with a hoe. The fact that her clothes were slowly beginning to become damp was something she was also used to, so relaxation soon swooped in and she assumed a pose that consisted of her leaning back on both hands while they kneaded the earth and having her straightened-out legs crossed. She glanced around at the faces, seeing their eagerness hidden beneath the almost sullen looks. ‘Good luck, everyone,’ she thought.-

CadetHipster: Akemi nodded at everyone and took her place on the ground now sighing and taking her fathers jacket off now letting her body show, She was wearing her normal clothes for training but wore bandages over her middrift so no-one could see her stomach and how thinner she had gotten. Akemi sighed and leaned her head back now awaiting news from her sensei about the training and what they would be doing, Akemi knew it was something she didnt particulary care about. Akemi sighed as she watched her team mates talk, Today was a bad day to talk to Akemi Hatake. "Look, Can we get this over and done with, Some of us have a busy shedule" Spoke Akemi now standing up with a glare on her expression, If looks could kill she would have killed all of them right there and then without a second thought.

JaeAre: As all three of his students had finally made their way around him, he would look at his watch one last time "7:30" it read. "Good you all made it by the deadline I had assigned" as he would smile at them trying to hide his tiredness from his students through humor. He would notice Lilius taking a rather laid back approach as she was sprawled out on the damp wet grass without a care in the world, the exact opposite of little Eveline who would be standing right next to Tsuneo arms crossed with what seemed to be her game face on and ready to go. He would take a glance at Akemi who would not look the same as their previous encounter on the roof of the Hokage's building... Her hair would be down instead of its usual pinned up playful state, she looked rather disgruntled, and for some reason had the middle of her torso wrapped up as if she were trying to hide something, Tsuneo would just shrug it off thinking "Maybe its just for extra protection.. or just an aesthetic you know how girls are with appearance..." As he would shake his head trying to clear his mind so he could explain to his students what was about to unfold. Tsuneo would crouch on to one knee as the other touched the damp ground, making pants leg of his left leg slightly wet, nevertheless he would start explaining their mission for the day. He would pull out two bells and jingle them slightly in front of their faces "Your mission today is to snatch one of these bells each, as you notice there are only two... which means only two of you will pass... Think your strategies over and do your best as it will not be easy." Tsuneo would then clip the two bells to his belt "Good luck and try your best, if I were to give you any kind of advice it would be that stealth is your best friend." as he would pat each of their heads softly "Oh, yeah.. you have 5 hours to complete this task or you all fail."  He would let out a soft yet loud chuckle after the previous statement, as he would do a very graceful backflip about 7 feet in the air landing about 8 and a half feet away from the little group of three he called his students for the moment. Just as he was about to make his final statement before beginning this would be battle, rain slowly started falling "This should make it interesting..." He would think to himself before finally shouting at them "BEGIN" as he took his usual stance before a fight standing straight up, left arm horizontal right below of chest line as his right arm lay rested on top of it with his hand slightly balled as his index and middle finger's pointed straight up towards the sky pressed against his lips. "Good luck" was the last thing he would think to himself as he waited in anticipation for the first strike.

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius just about jumped out of her clothes with Akemi’s reaction to everyone. Her friend from yesterday had turned into a sour character and Lilius wanted to comfort her, but out of a tinge of sadness and not wanting to be irritable, she instead turned all focus towards her sensei. She watched him explain the task at hand and watched the tiny bells sway back and forth. The overcast sky was reflected on them, and with the taste in the air, she assumed the clouds wouldn’t be able to hang on to their moisture for much longer. After Sensei finished explaining and decided to show off his skills, Lilius simply got up and brushed off any dirt that clung to her.- “Good luck, you two.” -She strolled off into the woods to look for some stray wild berries growing nearby and to waste the first three hours since all she’d be doing while waiting was thinking.- “My offer still stands; if the two of you become thirsty, I’ll have my canteen on me.” -She hollered over her shoulder at them. They’d probably be dumbfounded or think she was being sneaky, but Lilius just wanted to explore the forests of Konoha a little further and find some fruit to make snacks for everyone later. She smiled to herself at the ‘oh so devious plot’ of filling everyone’s stomachs and walked away with her hands grasped behind her back and the song her mother sang in her dream filled her mind with each step she made from the clearing.-

Akemi just stood up when her sensei had jumped into a back flip away from them, She would shrug and unwrap the bandages as she had accidently making them to tight. Akemi would sigh and walk up to a tree and close her eyes now jumping up into it as she would lean against it. "You know he's trying to get us to work as a team".... but she would soon notice no one was around her... Lilius had wandered off randomly and Eveline was approaching their sensei calmly, which made no sense whatsoever. Akemi would just sigh as she stayed leaned up against the tree and say "What a bunch of morons I've been paired with I tell ya" as she would just watch as everything would start to unfold.

JaeAre: Standing there ready for an all out assault by the three genin, Tsuneo wouldn't be bracing for battle he would instead be looking at all three dumbfounded at his student's actions. Eveline was approaching him with an innocence in her eye's, looking behind her Lilius was starting to wander into the clearing of the forest she had originally come from, and Akemi would just be standing where he had left the three initially. "What in the actual fuck....." would be the only words he could think as little Eveline would approach him about 4 feet away stopping in front of him as she would extend her arm out and open her palm asking for a bell very politely. Staring into her some what hypnotizing eye's he would shake his head and gather himself as he would reply to her "No..... you will have to take one by force child" as Tsuneo would open a light attack on his student. He would ball his hand into a fist ,slightly clenched, as he would bend his arm and draw it back. As he drew back to gain some force his hand would turn into a small tree stump and move it forward with a quick motion and putting medium force into the thrust as it was heading towards little Eveline, if it would connect it would surely knock her back about 6 feet and more than likely the air out of her as well. As all of this would ensue he would still keep his attention on the other two making sure he could still sense their chakra nearby so any sneak attack could be countered.

Eveline: -Eve sighed and watched as her request was refused.- "Then I shall have no moral aversion in taking it by force." -She said, watching him begin to draw back for an attack. Eve's pupils dialated as her brain began pumping adrenalin through her body. Her eyes scanned his arm in an inastant and she moved as quick as a snake. Eve lashed out at him, not attackin him, but rather his arm. She ducked low aimed a strike upwards for his arm-pit, striking with the tips of her fingers at one of the bodies pressure points, using a fighitng styler called "Dim Mak" It was for smaller more agile users otherwise known as the "Touch of Death" This fighting style utilized the bodies pressure points to immobilize, and sometimes cause the body to malfunction. This strike, howeve, if connected, would cause her Sensai to pause for a moment. It would paralyze his arm if only for a fraction of a second. Her hand was flat, using her fingertips, so her strike was more aerodynamic. If her attack succeeded, she would continue with a serises of 4 rapid strikes to his lower abdomin, none doing much damage, but more over, in an attempt to stun him further (No stun lasting more than a half second after the strike.), allowing for her team mates, if any, to at least get into position.

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius looked up at the darkened sky and smiled up at it with closed eyes. She took in a deep breath and welcomed the drops that fell from the heavens. If she stressed out about the test like the other Genin, she’d never be able to recover. She was susceptible to anxiety, so she strayed away from it as much as possible. She tilted her head forward and opened her eyes back up. The path had long since disappeared behind her, as well as the clearing. She continued to walk for a while until what felt like an hour had passed and decided to search for any nearby berry bushes. Spotting a raspberry one a few meters away, she began to busy her with picking the berries. She would have used her scarf, but if a berry were to stain it, she’d beat herself up over it. Instead, since the opening was almost the size of her palm, she dumped some of the berries into it with some of the water which would also clean them. With the rain coming soon, if someone was thirsty, she could easily collect more. Lilius glanced to her left, noticing some very bright berries. She stood up from where she’d crouched in front of the raspberry bush and made her way over to the bush bearing the strange fruit. She kneeled next to it and pinched a berry in her hand. It burst, coating her hands in a deep crimson color…’This smell…’ She held the insides up to her nose and sniffed it before a grin spread across her face.- “This is just what they need!” -She gathered a couple of the other variety and headed back to the clearing. A smile was on her face, knowing that she was going to make everyone so happy with her discovery. She tossed a raspberry into her mouth and began humming the same song again, this time, with an eerie harmony instead.-

CadetHipster: Akemi would sigh as none of her team mates were listening to her advice, Akemi sighed and planned an attack on her sensei, She had just seen Eve and her sensei fight and so now was her try since lilius was more interested with cooking with dumb berries instead of training to be a Ninja. Akemi jumped from the tree and pulled both her hands up now making two shadow clones appear, One clone went to the right of her sensei while a second one went to the left, Akemi went straight forwards now pulling out her kunai and running at her sensei. "GIVE ME THE DAMN BELL SO I CAN SLEEP YOU SON OF A BITCH SENSEI" Thought  Akemi now landing in a position to be able to see all of her team mates and her sensei, Just as Akemi was about to attack she noticed Lilius walking back with a handfull of berries. "Lilius get your ass over here and fight or i swear to the hokage i will shove your face in the tree over there" Yelled Akemi in a quiet voice not letting her sensei know where her new position was.  Just as Akemi was about to strike she felt a sharp pain in her head and screamed as she fell from the tree now closing her eyes and holding her head from the throbbing pain. Akemi opened her eyes while falling and managed to catch herself on a tree twig now swinging onto the tree branch and breathing heavily as she looked around her wondering what had happened.

JaeAre: As Tsuneo would follow through with his attack, he would also study Eveline's movements to get an idea of how she'd react to attacks in general. Just as he expected, she would duck low of the incoming basic punching attack Tsuneo was throwing at her, she would then move with the quickness of a snake as his eye's would keep up and continue to scan her movement. Noticing that she would not position herself for a blow to the head or body, she would instead aim upwards towards his armpit area with that was not transformed into wood with her fingers extended "Smart this one is... aiming for pressure points huh?" he would think to himself as his face would tense up a bit. He could sense someone's chakra coming from the bushes behind himself and Eveline, as it would approach the the training ground with very fast movement, "Whoever it is should burst through those bushes in about 4 seconds at the rate it is approaching us" Tsuneo would think to himself. In the literal meaning of the saying "In a split second" in its entirety, Tsuneo would cast the Body Replacement Jutsu right before Eveline would strike and the mystery genin would be arriving from behind. Casting this basic yet deceitful jutsu, he would allow Eveline to strike what she thought was him as well as whoever would be popping out of the bushes to launch their attack on Tsuneo before his replacement would eventually pop into a cloud of white smoke. Tsuneo would be watching from a tree to the west of Eveline and what she thought was her sensei as he would watch what would ensue next from a distance. "I can't wait to see the look on their faces" he would say as he began to chuckle a bit.

Eveline: -Eve's attack would strike his arm pit, as she thought, his arm stopped moving. She then began to strike at his body, hitting all the others. He still didn't move. Eve's attacks seemed to be working. During one of her body strikes, as she had planned, she, instead of striking, would feign the strike and grab a bell from his hip. As soon as she had done that, she struck one more time to stun him, and jumped into the air, reversing her body and kicking him twice in the chest, one for effect, the second to use as a spring board for a backflip. Her sensai fell back on the ground and Eve held a bell in her hand.- "too easy..." -She said, sensing something was off when her Sensai wasn't moving anymore... the strikes she made weren't intended to kill him. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke exploded from his body, turning it into a wood log, and the bell in her hand, nothing more than a twig. She snarled and threw the twig at the ground.- "Damn it..." -She said, holding still. She scanned the area infront of her with her eyes, and the area behind her with her ears. Her sensai could be anywhere. She knew better than to sit idol. Eve began making hand signs, her right hand glove glowing yellow. This was a concussion augmentation. If she touched anything with this glove, there would be a wave of consussion that would explode from the contact surface. For instance, if she punched the ground, there would be a small crater, and a strong shockwave. At her level, it wasn't enough to push someone back, but perhaps enough to alter the aim of a projectile, or cause someone to miss their footing.-

LiliusChan: -When Lilius entered the clearing, she eyed the two girls that seemed slightly in a daze and her sensei, now converted to a wooden form. She glanced at Akemi, slightly upset by how she treated her as opposed to yesterday. While she watched chaos begin to ensue, she held up two forefingers to her lips and sucked in a deep breath of air. She let it loose and made sure it was ear-shattering.- “Listen up! Time for a quick break! Ya’ll need to chill and munch on some berries!” -She shook a few from the canteen, tossing the raspberries over to Eve and tossing the rest to Akemi and Sensei. She crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and pointed her face downwards at the ground.- “After you’ve eaten, THEN I’ll join the fight. Okay?” -She looked up with a smile. This was how the group would actually start acting like a team.- “Otherwiiiise…” -She looked from Eve to Akemi.- “I’ll be helping Sensei here, which I doubt he’d want either since he seems like the type for a challenge rather than an advantage right now from the looks of it.” -She pointed at the both of them.-

CadetHipster: Akemi would look at her team mate and would raise an eyebrow now catching the berries that was thrown at her. "You cant do this in a fight so dont do this now" Spoke Akemi now dropping the berries onto the floor and walking away. Akemi would now be standing on a branch and covering her hair from the rain, She hated it getting wet and then become curly, She looked like a poodle everytime that happened. Akemi watched her Sensei and Eve from her tree branch. Akemi closed her eyes and foused on her chakra and her sensei's chakra. If Akemi was to pull this off she would need to concentrate and not make one mistake because one mistake would tip him off. Akemi would open her eyes and look around to see how much distance she could use. "Seems like enough" Akemi would whisper now jumping from her tree branch and using her body flicker technique to appear behind her sensei now performing the correct method to now perform a Demonic Illusion: False surrounding technique. If it worked he would now be seeing a bleeding Nakara fall from the tree he was in and blood on his hands. He would see the village in complete chaos with burning buildings and the Hokage's office now crumbling to the ground. He would see a bleeding Nakara on the ground with multiple wounds to the stomach and now drowning in her own blood. All of his students would be laying on the floor with multiple wounds and branches of the trees through there stomach's killing them instantly. Akemi would purposely leave herself alive for a while in the illusion so she could make him freak out with a few words "S-Sensei Dont let the flames die out" Spoke a now dying Akemi. But as soon as she jumped out she would see Eveline land a barrage of hits on their sensei knocking him to the ground, as she would grab a bell in the process. Their sensei lay there motionless as it seemed Eveline had won against him, so Akemi would approach the two but to their surprise.... His body would burst into a cloud of white smoke as a log lay in their place and a twig in Eveline's hand. Looking around dumbfounded Akemi would try and be on the look out for her sensei as was Eveline it seemed waiting for his next move.

JaeAre: Raindrops falling through the leaves of the tree on to the top of his head, Tsuneo would watch what his students would do next with their attacks on his substitution. As he continued to watch particularly on Eveline as she was the only one he could physically, as he awaited the student he was sensing to pop through the bushes near Eveline and the substitution. studying her movements from afar he would notice her movements looked gentle, yet were very fast and would packed quite a punch as he started landing hit after hit. In the middle of her little barrage she would fake a strike and succeed in grabbing bell, or so she thought. After knocking his substitution to the ground, she would walk a way with a little cockiness as she though she had won with relative ease but.... she would turn her head back at her sensei that lay on the floor as he lay motionless just staring at him as if something were wrong. Just as she thought she had won "poof" he would silently whisper with a grin on his face that stretched ear to ear as he would wait for her reaction. Just after he had started chuckling his substitution went up in a cloud of smoke turning to a log and the bell she thought she had gotten ever so easily would poof into a small white cloud as well turning into a little twig. Little Eveline looked quite frustrated, but would not let it get the best of her as she quickly went back on the offensive, scanning the area for any trace of Tsuneo. Not but maybe a few short moments after the substitution had vanished into thin air into what would eventually be a log, Akemi busted through the bushes behind where he once stood looking around, studying her surroundings as Eveline was carefully trying to make out their sensei's whereabouts. Seeing the other two in front of him he would start to sense another being directly to his right "Must be Lilius eh....". Just as he would finish thinking about his next move, Tsuneo would look up at the sky through the leaves of the tree, as the clouds were of a dark gray color and lightning began to pierce through them and crack loud enough to pop an ear drum. "I've go to end this soon, the conditions are not very safe at the moment." Tsuneo would then weave the following hand seals "Tiger → Dog → Snake" right after weaving the needed hand seals it would look like his body were separating into two people, as wood clone would finally emerge as it detached itself from Tsuneo. He would look at the clone and extend his arm out towards the two students in a straight motion, "Go" is all that he would say as the wood clone would burst through leaves from the forest directly at the two students. Knowing the clone was sturdy enough to take about 4 hits before bursting into a cloud of white smoke, he figured it would hold them off enough as Tsuneo himself would make his way towards Lilius to just check and see what was going on, as he hadn't seen her since the beginning of the test. Making his way to Lilius he would see the basket full of berries and his mouth would start to water "I could sure eat at the moment..." as he would swing down from the tree and approach his student politely asking for a few berries or the whole basket.... it really didn't matter to him at this point.

Eveline: -The bushes rusltled, and Eve turned over her shoulder to look. Her sensai, or what appeared to be him, ran directly at her and her team mate. Eve kept her concussion jutsu prepped and put it behind her, so he couldn't see it. She prepared herself, grabbing on of her blades agian, the heavy bladed on. As soon as he came close, Eve pushed forward, like lightning. Eve was more of a physical combatant, using weapons combined with ninjutsu to finish her task. Her Genjutsu was trash, but her Tijutsu, Kenjutsu, and Ninjutsu were her focus. She moved in like she was going to strike her blade at his belt where the bells were to cut them loos, knowing he'd bring his guard down to block it, because defending his objective was his task. And Eve knew she couldn't actually harm her sensai. She wans't strong enough. He probibly knew it too. Just as she thought, he lowered his guard and blocked her blade, which was when Eve braught her hand out, attempting to slam her fist into his chest. She wasn't fast enough though. He, (his clone) caught her by her wrist before she could hit him, leaving her glowing hand in the air for him to see. Eve didn't have a choice at this point... this was going to hurt like a bitch, but her only option at this point was to channel her jutsu into her glove and detonate it there. The idea was to direct it into her sensai, leaving her relitivly unharmed, but in order to hit him from this distance, she'd have to channel it into her own clothing. It wasn't ideal, seeing as her clothing would cause some kick back into her, but it worked. Eve felt the pain shoot through her hand, as if she had punched a reinforced metal wall. The shockwave detonated, causeing smoke, dirt, and dust to fly up into a cloud around them. The two flew in seperate directions, Her sensai one way and Eve in the other. As she departed the dust cloud, she gained her footing and slid on her feet, however, since her sensai was taller than her, he caught some air and managed to flip to a standing position. Eve panted a bit feeling the pain in her arm. At this point, she felt like she had been carrying thousand pound weights all day, and had just dropped them. Her muscles felt strained, and twinges of pain ran up her nerves.- "Chikushō" -She said, standing upright, holding her shoulder, which is where the pain was running throug to get to her head. she pressed a pressure point down, numbing the pain. Her good hand, after numbing her other, moved to her hip, grabbing two kunai. She did it stealthly, keeping them oout of fight as she began to strafe left, circling her sensai-

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius sighed at Akemi’s choice but at least she knew the right answer. She looked over to her left and was slightly startled at her Sensei and that he’d appeared out of nowhere. She followed his gaze to the berries she had pertained and extended the hand holding the berries out as an offer to have some. She looked over to her right back at where the action was happening and had assumed that since Sensei was here, drooling over the fruit, then that was most likely not a replica. She attempted to hide her grin and turned back to face her sensei. Her grin widened into a large smirk when she watched a handful of the picked berries go straight into his mouth. She held the basket out and allowed it to drop, the berries bouncing out of it and onto the wet ground. The thunder was picking up and as well as the rain, the wind slowly swirling around everyone as the air protested against their violence.- “Sorry, Sensei, but I needed to pass these exams. No hard feelings?” -Lilius raised a coy eyebrow and her smile never faded in radiance or intensity.- “You’ll only experience extreme nausea and weak hallucinations, but they wear off as soon as your body processes it. Pretend it’s...very, very strong sake.” -Lilius took a small step closer to Sensei, listening to the clangs of metal coming from the others who fought away obliviously.-

CadetHipster: "IT DIDNT WORK!" Was all Akemi could think about when she saw her sensei now talking to Lili like nothing happened, Like he wasn't affected by the illusion she created. She would sigh and walk towards her team mates and look at them both with a glare. "How in the ever loving fuck are we failing this" Spoke Akemi now sighing and sitting on the ground trying to think of a plan. "We need to do this together as a team"  Said Akemi now standing up and looking at her sensei, who was now eyeing the berries. "Hey arent those berries..Nevermind" Spoke Akemi now smiling and looking at her teammates with a smirk. "This could be perfect" Akemi would chuckle and look around thinking of a plan. "Maybe we could posion him or use a jutsu that makes him slow and unable to react, that would be perfect" Thought Akemi now waiting for her sensei to eat the berries so her plan could work. "I'll wait for him to eat those berries and then i'll use my Zeus jutsu to attack him. He wont see it coming"

JaeAre: Just as he took a handful of the berries that Lilius had been picking the whole bell test and began to eat them, he could tell something was strange about the encounter. She was wearing a huge smile and that was not of innocence as she dropped the basket with the remaining berries to the ground as they began to bounce and scatter all over the place across the dirt. Lilius would then proceed to explain to him that he would be feel slight nausea coming on as well as slight hallucinations, while saying this to him lightning would strike across the dark skies causing a flash effect behind her making it look as if she were a little demon child out of a horror movie scene. Tsuneo would spit the remaining berries he had chewed up in his mouth out before swallowing them, but as she stated he felt as if he were about to throw up and as she also stated his eyes were slightly blurred a few seconds after, as he began to slightly stagger towards a nearby tree. Leaning up against the tree with his right arm he couldn't hold it in any longer as he threw up about two times. Feeling much relieved after doing so he would turn around to the little demon child people from the village called Lilius as she wore an even bigger grin that stretched ear to ear across her face. "Why would is she smiling so bi......" he would then feel the side of his belt the left side to be exact to see if both bells were still there. "That little..... She had this planned from the start..." as she would hold the bell in front of her face waving it with arrogance. "She had to of snatched it as I was throwing up..." he would think to himself with a slight scowl on his face..... "Very well... you pass." he would say, as he would look beyond her through the clearing of trees at Eveline still battling his wood clone. Tsuneo would walk past Lilius ruffling her hair and congratulating her as he would just lean up against another tree about 15 feet from where he walked past Lilius and about 8 feet away from the clearing, watching how Eveline would continue battle against his wood clone. Had she defeated it he would more than likely pass her as well just for the sheer fact that she was the only one to show any kind of combat prowess towards him. As he would look on at Eveline he would sense someone directly to his right. Looking over in that direction for just a few seconds Tsuneo would see Akemi sitting on the ground looking as if she were planning something... "Whatever she is planning, it probably won't be too affective." as he would look back towards little Eveline and his clone as they would soon continue battle. Though not too worried about Akemi, Tsuneo would keep his senses on Akemi to make sure she would not try anything silly as he did not want to hurt her with a counter attack had she decided to attack from the side recklessly.

Eveline: -Eve circled her Sensai, her Kunai hidden behind her leg. Her Sensai just stood there, waiting. What was wrong? Why wasn't he attacking? Eve growled and stopped moving, planting her foot strongly in the dirt and using her arm as a sling, using centrifical force to whip her arm around her body. She released the two Kunai, both glowing yellow, like her had did before. Her sensai's guard went up to block the Kunai, but Eve had something else in mind. As soon as the Kunai got close, they detonated in the air, like flak cannons, because if Eve was honest with herself, she knew that if she waited to detonate them when they hit her sensai, she would have no hope of touching him at all. Clouds of smoke and dust appeared around him as the exploding kunai detonated. A large collumn of dust lingered in the air. Eve wasn't able to see the effect. Hopefully the shrapnel mostly hit his flak jacket, (the jacket the ninja in Konoha wear) and nothing serious was damaged. Eve knew how lethal her attacks were, but time was running out, and she needed to take chances if she wanted to get a bell. She was sure her Sensai would use a body replacement Jutsu if his life were actually in danger.-

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius looked down at the bell and guilt slowly crept into her gut and made her slightly nauseous as if she’d licked a small drop of juice from one of the berries. She looked up at Sensei and quickly grabbed his arm before he went to address the others.- “Hold on,” -She said while bending down to grab a raspberry that hadn’t been tarnished.- “this’ll help.” -The moment Tsuneo Sensei opened his mouth, she grimaced and shoved the berry into his mouth along with her fingers. His gag reflex reacted and he ended up involuntarily biting into Lilius’s fingers. She watched him vomit for a last time, and this time only stomach acid came up.- “Sorry. I had to check that none of the poison was left. The last symptom was diarrhea, but...I don’t think you need to go through that since I’ve gotten what I needed.” -She held up the bell.- “And, well...sorry...but since I have mine, the others may want my help.” -Lilius grimaced yet again, her brow furrowing and causing her to smile sympathetically.- “No hard feelings, right?”

JaeAre: Lilius would grab his arm as he would look on at Eveline in battle. Tsuneo would turn his head as Lilius would ask him to open his mouth holding a raspberry in her hands, as she would explain that it would flush out whatever toxins still lingered in his body. Lilius would then proceed to reach towards his mouth with the two fingers that held the raspberry, and as soon as she reached in his gag reflex would quickly react as he would start to slightly bite down as he could feel whatever was left start to rise from his stomach in a hurry. Luckily for her it was only stomach acid and not his breakfast as he would proceed to vomit one last time, shortly after she would explain how the last phase was diarrhea... but since she had gotten her bell that no longer needed to happen and make him suffer any longer. After hearing her say "No hard feelings." Tsuneo would nod his head in a friendly fashion as he would wear a smile as he would think to himself "You will suffer... maybe not now.. maybe not later... maybe not even tomorrow... but you will pay." as he would look on again towards Eveline "I need to end this the weather is not getting any better" as he would look at the dark sky that would continue to pour the rain. Raising his right arm and lifting his middle and index finger up to his lips and faintly whispering "release" as his clone would harden into a husk of wood where it stood, and make a cup over his mouth trying to yell at Eveline over sounds of thunder and lightning that would crack through skies "Eveline get over here quickly!" as he would look to his right and do the same to Akemi "Akemi get over here as well on the double!". As he would lean on the tree that shielded himself and Lilius from the rain, as they would wait for the other two students to make their way towards them.

Eveline: -Eve's kunai detonated. Anything inside of them had been vaporized, she had supposed. It turned out she was fighting a clone of some sort. She shook her head and dashed over to her Sensai as he called her. She landed next to him, crouched, looking down at his feet, ready to receive new orders-

JaeAre: As Eveline's kunai exploded in front of the clone and had pretty turned it into several thousand splinters, soon after she would look over in Tsuneo's direction and would quickly react to Tsuneo's call as she took of in his direction. Looking to his right Akemi would also be making her way quite quickly. As the the two would finally make it under the tall oak tree that Tsuneo and Lilius had been sitting under for the past 15 or so minutes, he would begin to speak to his squad. "You all have shown me you are worthy of further training, even little Lilius here... she didn't even throw so much of a punch, but had a plan from the get go and, to my embarrassment, executed it to a tee. In result she snagged a bell." Tsuneo would clear his throat slightly as he could feel some of the acid from his stomach still coating his mouth. "Eveline, you showed me that you are capable of good things as a combat shinobi and have a bright future if you keep training.. your ninjutsu prowess is quite advanced for a person of your rank, and I have taken note." Tsuneo would then look at the little red haired girl that always wore a look of hatred on her face. "You Akemi, you showed that you will always be there to help support as you tried from behind as Eveline was fighting me from the front, every squad needs that support role and you fill it.  You all complement each other... Eveline is the fighter, lilius is the brain, and Akemi you are the support." He would then smile and begin to pat each of their heads "You all pass, now let's get going before this weather gets any worse" as they would begin walking back to village through the clearing "I'll walk you all home" Tsuneo would tell them as they made their way to each house officially as "Team 3."
