Raijin's Training! (P;NK)

[Edited! Sorry]

"Huh ?" Nero would say, hearing Kojin's words about an idea, "Finally a plan ? I'm eager to see that...". He would not be too curious about which technique Kojin was mentioning. There were not many academy techniques after all; and Nero assumed that the Genin realised that Substitution, Clone Technique or the Water Walking/Tree climbing Technique would not have really been of any help in the situation they were in. The only one left was the Transformation technique and this was the part that actually interested Nero. He wondered how creative the boys would have gotten, and what they would have transformed into, and of course what Kojin was eaning to do with them. Have one transform into a small thing and the other into a shield, who would have covered them from the scorch, but would have been the sacrifice ? Or perhaps he had a way to save both and sacrifice himself, or one that would not cause any sacrifice at all.

Kojin’s mentioning of a plan truly brought about a smile. Nice! Seems like they both had a plan to get out of here! But Raijin was curious to know about Kojin’s. ”Yeah! Oops!” He noticed that he raised his voice when they were trying to keep it low. That’s when he decided to go with whispering as well. ”I hope we’re on the same page Kojin. I only spotted one escape route. But let’s here you plan. I bet it’s a great one.” Maybe his plan wouldn’t even require a sacrifice! They would soon find out! ’I hope this goes well.’

Kojin nodded and grinned at the other two ninja. He spoke low enough so only the other two can hear. "Yea I really hope that we are Raijin. Alright so I was thinking that I could use my shield jutsu. The scorch shouldn't be strong enough to damage the shield so I would be able to just walk out. The problem was that I couldn't get you guys to come out with me since the shield isn't big enough, however" his grin grew larger as he started to whisper the rest of the plan. "If you guys can transform into something really small, I suggest an ant, you could probably climb into my jacket. Then when I perform the jutsu I'll carry you guys out with me." he finished.

He was positive that it would be successful and they could get themselves out of the dome. This way they wouldn't have to do any sacrifices and all three of them would pass their steps! There was still the possibility that Nero could stop them though...

Yukio over heard the plan and sighed" is this what I been reduced to? My mother would never approve this and I doubt this might work " he did the necessary hand seals and performed the transformation jutsu and accidently transformed into a pup. In his mind he was embarrassed and upset" god dammit! I wasn't focused right urgh!" He barked and hopped into kojin's pocket "At least im small enough " yukio grinned in his mind as he thought of using another academy jutsu later. He barked once more and prayed this might work and yukio would pass nero's sacrifice portion of the test

"Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock... Time is passing by kids...". Nero was getting rather bored of waiting but what was he going to do ? Attack them from their blind side ? Well... Yeah... Perhaps ? He could do that, but that would have probably been too dangerous, wouldn't it. he would instead watch the boys transform. "Come on. Come on. Come on...". Nero would start jumping on his spot. The whole training was not any challenging for him anyway and now the boys were just stalling.

Raijin smirked and gave Kojin a nod. That idea was brilliant! Similar to his but Yukio wouldn't be left behind! He stared into the scorch, searching for any sign of Nero. Maybe he was just watching them for their next move. It had to be that because he wasn't attacking. When Raijin turned back to his teammates he could not find Yukio! The boy was gone! And what was in his place? A puppy. Figures. "You're quick to act Yukio! Now why don't we spice things up a little eh?" The boy held the hand seal and transformed into none other than a kitten. He walked up to Kojin, "Give me a lift here Kojin."

Kojin sweat dropped a bit as the others turned into animals. "You guys are cute, real cute, but I suggested tuning into ants... Ah never mind it will be good enough" he said. He picked up Raijin and put him into his right pocket since Yukio jumped into the left one. He closed his eyes as he concentrated on charging his electric chakra throughout his body. Lightning started to form around him until it fully covered him and the two transformed ninja. "Okay, that should do it" he murmured, already walking towards the walls of the scorch dome. The boy didn't stop walking until he was completely out of the dome and dropped the jutsu.

"That was pretty easy!" he commented with a chuckle. He then took Yukio and Raijin out of his pockets and set them on the ground.

Yukio ran at at Raijin and bit his tail before reverting. "I JUST SPICED THINGS UP" when he turned back human he got back into a fighting stance. They got out of the dome thing but now was time to get back to nero "Good thinking Komi!!! YOU should of thought if something like that Raijin!" He laughed at Raijin then looked at the dome. "So where is he?? Is he just watching us because that would pretty creepy!" 0.0 Maybe the other two would be able to find Nero! Yukio hoped so!!!!

[Sorry guys, have to exit since I'm going to be away for 2+ weeks; you guys can continue a spar or something if you'd like]

Nero smiled. "Well, it was expected..." he thought to himself, but they were not quite the same as what he would have told the boys, after clearing out the dome of scorch, "Good job, boys. And good thinking, Kojin. Well, to be honest, the step was Sacrifice for Yukio and survival for the other two, so I was actually trying to get Yukio to "sacrifice" himself and the others to be saved for the sacrifice to be meaningless; but as for the previous step, if you have a way that does not include sacrifices, one is not necessary, in fact a disadvantage... So again, nice work Kojin. And Raijin and Yukio," Nero sighed and continued, "you can not see eye to eye on anything I assume ?". "Good friendships are born from slight rivalry after all..." he thought again and continued, "You have all passed the step. Not the test though. The next step will appear when you not know it. Not today... Or is it ? Well, most likely not, but the point is... Always be ready... Lastly, it was fun to train with you. Make sure you survive in this kill or be killed world and get stronger. At lest 2 out of 3 of you have infinite potential. See you later for the next step, Raijin, Kojin and Yukio.". With that, Nero would have left the training ground at full speed, returning to his house. It would have appeared to the boys as if he has teleported. He would have not yet planned when the next step was going to be, but he was sure he wanted to make it a suprise.
