Forest Training (Seth, spar, no kill)

Silvery eyes hardened as she listened to what the Chunin was
saying. Her jaw stiffened slightly as
his words started to sink in. Of course,
he was a Chunin, so he was slightly entitled to his condescending nature. Still, Akina noted how Seth’s nature had
changed from warm and friendly to cold and calculating. We are
in the Shinobi world now…I have to fight my way out, but there’s no way I can
take that guy on my own…I’ll need Seth’s help with this one.




She quickly and carefully looked around the forest once more. The girl was not stupid, the Chunin gave her
a weapon, so that meant he probably had more weapons than just those two
kunai. Also, her eyes took in his body
and its muscular build. If she had to
guess, he would possibly be better at taijutsu, but that didn’t mean that he
wouldn’t also be experienced in ninjutsu.
She stifled a sigh and nodded to herself slowly. Smart
guy, giving us the first move…I wonder how well he will actually study
this. She motioned in a bow that
would be respectful for a Chunin. “I’m
Hyuga Akina. I hope things go well
between us.” Her voice was somewhat icy, and a finger stroked her kunai slowly.




He wants us to make the first
move? Fine, then. There was a slight smirk parting her lips as her feet
moved closer to Seth just enough to be able to grip his sleeve lightly. People seemed to want to make her seem like
the defenseless child, but she had another idea in mind. Her eyes drifted over to Seth slowly, and the
look was serious and determined. She
turned her body and hoped to take Seth with her as she ran to find some semblance
of shelter, in order to talk with him more seriously about her plans.




Akina was hoping to win this fight, or “lesson” as the Chunin called
it, but she admitted that she was risking most of this plan on the chance that
Seth would actually go along with her plan.
She began by climbing up a tree and jumping from branch to branch, until
she spotted some of thick foliage on the trees.
Taking a chance, the girl ducked behind the leaves and hoped that Seth would
choose to come with her. This test would
push her limits of speed and endurance to their limits.

Namakemono watched the nervous girl and the determined boy go about by introducing themselves. Prepared in his loose stance to be prepared for anything, the Hyuga girl quickly glanced at the boy named Seth, and decided to take off. Quick her jolting to the tree lines, Namakemono blared off the soles of his feet, intercepting the path in a matter of seconds, before she could reach the first branch. The Chuunin gracefully smiled, before completing a full rotation, bringing his momentum into his kick, pounding his bottom foot against her lower abdomen. This attack would have enough force to throw the girl back on the ground where she started. Namakemono was able to land safely on both feet on the branch the girl planned. Standing up high, he lectured her.

"If you're already spotted, don't decide to hide again. That being said, have a legitimate diversion if you plan on fleeing and doing that anyways, or else I could stop what ever you plan without any retaliation."

The Chuunin didn't want to be brutal to the girl, but he also wanted to get the lesson through. He needed to teach the two some fundamentals of combat before they were in a situation where they were really in harm, which would cost a life.

Seth caught Akina before she hit the ground and landed on his feet. "You bastard." He looked a new intent in his eyes one that release a pissed off feeling to everyone. His snake eyes were showing their true demonic aura. He then looked deep into the chunnin eyes and decided it was his turn. He sat Akina down and then jumped to the branch across from the chunnin. "My turn." He then took a loose taijutsu stance.

Akina forcefully gasped out painfully. The kick to her lower abdomen had quite a bit
of force. Her hand instinctively touched
her abdomen under her kimono, but she could not feel any bleeding, though there
was no doubt in her mind that there would be a nasty bruise where the hit
landed. The next thing the girl felt,
beside pain, was the weightless feeling of freefall. Everything felt like a dream to Akina. She tried to twist and turn so that she would
land somewhere that would not hurt as bad as falling to the ground, but any
movement she made seemed to be in vain.
She closed her eyes and was about to accept her defeat, when she felt
something warm against her. Looking
inward, she saw a blurry figure of Seth, and a smile was on her face. “Thank you, Seth.” She whispered slowly,
before she was set down on the ground.
She staggered to her feet gingerly.
The determination didn’t leave her eyes, but she was going to be more
cautious from now on.


As she watched Seth jump to the branch across from the
Chunin, she shuddered. He seemed to be
really angry at the Chunin for hurting her, but she could not let him make the
mistake she made. Her feet carried her
up a tree next to the one Seth was on.
She realized she could not stop him if he chose to fight the Chunin, but
she had to get her point of view across.
What she had hoped to do in secret now did not seem to matter. The Chunin probably would have figured it out
soon enough anyway. “Seth,” she called
loudly, hoping she could get through to him, “we need to be a team. We need to be able to move and think as one
in perfect balance, so please, control your emotions and focus on working with
me. This is what it means to be a team.”
Her voice was determined.


Grimacing from the pain, Akina shifted into her own fighting
stance. She remembered her kunai, but
this was not the time to use it. She needed to keep her head level and utilize
the weapon she was given at the most opportune and ironic moment. She knew she could only overtake someone
stronger than her with an element of surprise, since she wasn’t strong enough
to go head to head with someone as experienced as him. Her eyes flicked from Seth to the Chunin and
back to Seth. How do I make plans if I
can’t get away fast enough to do that? I
can’t just blab them in front of an enemy. She looked at Seth and nodded
after making the tiger, boar, ox, and dog seals. She also made a show by
closing her eyes and allowing her chakra to flow through her, enough for a
light blue aura to surround her, but not enough to actually make anything
appear. She couldn’t use jutsu, but she was hoping Seth would follow her lead
and make a clone. She also hoped the
Chunin would slip up and go for her in an attempt to stop a clone that wasn’t
coming.

Approved Akina for 5 Stats/Jp


Notes: Everyone else needs to tell me the WC; Akina told me in the CB

The Chuunin examined the two kids as Seth caught the one named Akina. The Chuunin cranked his neck in response to the action she done. Listening to the male Genin lash out in anger, he chuckled.

"If you really mean to protect her and prove your worth, why don't you come at me? So far you failed to protect her once, in which if I really wanted to, I could've killed her."

Namakemono gave out a hearty laugh before watching Seth make his first action. There was an obvious gap between the two, and approaching would be pointless, the thought bubble in his mind. Namakemono didn't have much to do, since he wasn't the offensive type, but the girl below seemed like an easy target. Clones eh? No matter Avoiding to conjure deadly flames or explosions, he positioned his legs and lowered himself to a stance, pouncing towards the girl and her clones. With his right hand cocked back, he swung straight to the girl's face. He had an obvious reach over the small girl, thus letting him strike her without retaliation. The clone technique was also just mirror reflections of the user, so they couldn't move around on their own.

Whether or not the thing he hit was real, he always kept an eye for his surroundings, meaning Seth and her clones for any more advances.

Seth watched as the chunnin went after Akina he was unsure which one was the real one so he reacted quickly thrusting himself in front of the chunnin taking a blow to the face for Akina he grabbed the chunnins leg and pulled in attempt to make him fall.

Akina saw the Chunin coming for her, and a slight smirk
parted her lips. She waited for him to
make his strike, watching him come closer and closer. Her body prepared to move fluidly as it had
been taught. As he started to strike out
toward her, she released the chakra flow from her body and made a sliding,
ducking motion to the right that would place her facing the Chunin’s right
flank. As she ended her motion, she realized that Seth had been where she once
was and had taken the attack for her.
She smiled at him grimly as she prepared her attack. Akina pulled out her kunai and attempted to
plunge it into the Chunin’s exposed kidney area. With her other hand, she poked with accuracy
at the man’s pressure points in his shoulder and his back. Coupled with Seth’s attempt at a leg grab,
the Chunin was in for some surprise. At
least, that’s what Akina hoped for.


The Hyuga girl knew better than to count her victories yet,
because she figured that the man was being very calculating about every small
movement that was made, so she sent her mind on a small journey of what to do
next. She looked at Seth and smiled a
little, while thinking of a set of hand signs to make next, though she had hoped
that the Chunin did not catch on too quickly to her method of communication
with her teammate. That would be the
worst thing that could happen to them right now, unless Seth had something up
his sleeve.

With his right hand ready, Namakemono went for the full power hook, watching Seth move position from his branch. He dove in front of the girl to take the blow. Namakemono's knuckles mauled the left cheek of the male Genin, though, that wasn't the end. He dropped down and grappled both his legs. It wasn't enough to trip the man, but prevented him from moving any further. The plan was solid, the Hyuga girl sprung from her position, with the solid black steel dagger in hand. So he sacrificed himself to get me in a snare, then the girl moved from her position and attacked my blind spot. Well Done! The blade drove deep into his side, piercing the flak vest and making it's way towards his innards. The Chuunin grunted in pain and arced his side, but it was only a fluke, before a puff of smoke appeared where he stood and Akina's Kunai was now stuck in a log.

"I'd say you two had a well cooperation of teamwork there. Impressive that you caught on so easy...but Hey! That's how teams are suppose to work. Gotta share the same mind, right?"

Namakemono said in an upbeat positive tone before saluting the Genin from their work. He stood on the same branch Seth planted himself on before he took the blow for Akina. His work was done, his only plan with this training was to merely test their teamwork, and so far, they made the mark as Genin. Genin were suppose to work in cells, thus why put in teams when they graduate. Since the Chuunin was done with their short lesson, he bit them fair well, before vanishing from his position.
