Flakes Of Anew Breed.

Mugen merely gave Lazuru a look, his curiosity now going off the charts. "Not leaving this academy alive." Those words rung throughout his head, growing louder and louder with each echo. He didn't understand the true meaning behind that statement as this was only a ninja academy, where you trained to become a shinobi. Just when did everything in an academy of all places turn into a life or death situation? The boy furrowed his eyebrows in worry and tapped his chin in thought.

"I can't quite comprehend...why would he say such a thing?" he questioned aloud, not caring that the man was still in front of them.

He snapped his head in the wolf's direction, who was named "Shiroi" according to the stranger, and watched the animal walk towards a large tree. Mugen then stole a glance at the stranger, seeing the masked man pull out a fuma shuriken. He did not know the reason to why a weapon was pulled out, but almost gasped in surprise once it was thrown at the tree's branches. What almost seemed to be on instinct, the boy squinted his eyes to see what was in the tree. A conflicted expression appeared on his face due to what- no, who he saw.

"Baka..." he mumbled under his breath, actually meaning to say "Naka." He currently had two choices: Save the fellow Uchiha or simply allow him to drop towards the ground. He was majorly leaning towards the latter. "God dammit!"

Mugen dashed in the direction of the tree, attempting to go faster with each step he took. He channeled chakra to the soles of his feet as he ran, already having a plan in mind. The young Uchiha eventually made it to the tree, soon sticking to the bark's surface and racing upwards. The second Naka was well within his reach, he would push off the tree and towards the younger child, his arm stretched out as a means to reach him. If Naka allowed him to, Mugen would catch him and both would be on a descent towards the surface. Before they could reach the ground, Mugen positioned himself in midair so would land on his feet. He would have held Naka with one arm under his legs and another supporting his back.

"...I'm too freaking soft..." he would say to himself as they approached the earth, feeling exasperated. The moment his feet hit the dirt, his legs buckled, but he managed to stay upright. He would then carelessly drop Naka onto the ground, a humorless expression on his features. He turned his head on the masked man's direction, only enough to see him in the corner of his eye.

"Is there a reason for this?" he asked the stranger.

Naka laying watching the clouds heard in the distance the sounds of the foolish children he had met before, but it was interrupted as his ears twitched hearing something coming fast cutting through the wind. He knew its trajectory and when he sat up and jumped from the tree the fuma shuriken destroyed the branch he had been laying on, a quick forward flip and he landed on the ground flat footed and in a standing matter. His eyes now closed and his head tilted down hiding all from the bridge of his nose down, his hands in his pockets and the collar of his shirt high like always. He had noticed as he was in the air the other Uchiha boy had been there attempting to save a piece of the branch that he seemed to think was Naka, he thought to himself "Interesting..." but his body facing the masked man he stood in the open portion of the field all their classmates had ran inside at the site, but Naka not afraid as he believed in his power as he was an Uchiha. Lifting his head slowly he looked at the masked man the one he had been observing for sometime now, he smiled of course now as his head had been lifted the smile could be seen. Naka spoke "You appear for some odd reason and you threw a shuriken at me.... You want something? I suppose you are here to speak with me? Or maybe all of us? I know you could have killed me so murder is not your intent." Naka now still looking at the man smiling with his hands in his pockets and in a casual standing stance.

Daiyuki watched as one boy reached for the kunai and as the other boy made an attempt at saving the kid falling from the tree. “Interesting” he thought to himself.
Daiyuki had underestimated these kids but so far they were proving to have the spunk he was searching for. However wanting to test them just a bit further.
 
Daiyuki would test their ambition as village ninja next.
 
He had looked at the boy who fell from the tree as he approached. His stance was a cocky one but his deducing skills were well above others as he already assessed the situation.
 
Daiyuki would continue to play the role a bit further.
 
“Tell your names, then if you can impress me then and only then will I tell you mine and my reasoning for being sent here” He would say with an looming voice
 
“I must warn you that you have until I count down from 30 to impress or I will kill all of you without hesitation here and now,” He continued.
 

Daiyuki would stand ready to evade and counterstrike at will. He wondered how these three would react as the other students had begun to clear out.

Laz didn't pay too much attention to Naka only until Mugen went towards Naka at a attempt to save him. He then watch Naka landing perfectly fine. "Cocky bastard...."Laz said under his breath. He then turned his attention towards the man with the mask."You know it's kinda rude asking for someone's name without giving yours but if you wanna know I am Lazuru Farunata Se-" Las stopped himself before saying the last part of his name. Unlike the others he doesn't give out his clan info to people he just met." Said that wrong...." he said lowly. He then quickly thought of something to say before anything or questions was asked about the last part of his name. Lazuru Farunata, the Season of a Hero has arrived!!" He yelled. Hoping it will throw off them he then pointed the Kunai at the man with the mask.

"Your a Missing-Ninja aren't you? So that means if I can kill you I can get a rank up." He said with a smile on his face. Of course you couldn't see it with the scarf covering it but you can tell he was smiling. He then would try and play his next actions in his head. "Shit ,Shit and Shit" he thought nothing really good came out except how he imagined how he would be killed. Spinning the kunai on his finger he then thought of something. If he was gonna die he would at least try and have fun with it. Bending down and picking up some snow he would then make it into a big enough snowball to try and catch the masked man attention. He then walked close to him until he was three feet away from the masked man. "Alright how about the count down start after this hits the ground?" He said. Regardless of the answer Laz threw the snowball high enough into the air. He would then Dash towards the masked man as soon as he tossed the snowball up into the air. Pulling the Kunai up closer to the man chest he would then aim to stab the man in the chest. "Well... Here goes nothing" he thought to himself.

A stunned look appeared in his face at the sight of a branch now in front of him. Mugen tilted his head in the direction of the others, noticing Naka already on the ground and untouched. He soon adopted a deadpan expression and proceeded to capture the branch in his path. As he drew closer to the ground, he went into the same position that was stated previously, safely landing on the ground on his two feet. He slowly approached the trio before him, keeping the branch hidden behind his back. Cocky... he thought once he was one meter behind Naka. Ass... He soon made it closer to the Uchiha, now being one foot behind him. Due to Naka's attention being on the masked man, he wouldn't have time to notice what was about to occur next.

Mugen kept the deadpan look on his face as he slowly brought the branch from his back into view. With one swift motion, he aimed it at the back of Naka's head, aiming to knock the younger child a few feet forward. The log would fall out of his clutches and onto the ground after his strike.

"Bastard," he voiced after his actions. A sigh escaped his lips as he brought his arm back to his frame, now turning his attention back to Laz and the masked individual. He was truly intrigued once Lazuru said his name, cutting off at "Se." The rest of what Laz said was ignored as he only concluded to one thing: "Se" must be the starting letters of the clan he spoke of before. Mugen racked his brain for any names that were close to "Se." However, only one came to mind. Senju. Could it be true that Laz was from the Senju clan? The boy hummed to himself in thought, soon deciding he would ask him later.

"My name..." he started out, "Is none of your concern." He immediately performed a backflip as a means to gain distance away from the man, landing 2 meters away. The time he did this was once Lazuru was forming a snowball. Currently, he was close to the cut off branches on the tree Naka was previously in. A plan was already forming in his mind. He quickly placed his foot on the branch closest to him, sending chakra to said limb for it to stick. Mugen cautiously looked on as Laz threw the snowball into the air, tuning his ears in to what was being said. The countdown began once that hit the ground.

Mugen narrowed his eyes at his target, the masked individual who was testing them. The second the snowball hit it's maximum height in the sky, he raced towards the duo as quickly as he could. He made sure to stay out of Naka's way just in case the Uchiha was still in his path. He was running in what seemed to be an arc, soon making it behind their target. While he moved, the branch was still sticking to his foot due to the use it would soon be having. Once he was close enough, Mugen performed a frog leap, going a meter above the surface. He aimed the foot with the branch attached to it at the man's head, the pointed side of the branch being in front. With his jump, he would be out of Laz's line of attack if the masked man dodged them, along with his kick being high enough to pass over Laz's head.

Naka heard the sounds of the wind whistling around the log as the swing was prepared and turned to see a log being swung for his head, he ducted quickly and then stood back up walking over to the older gentleman. He looked at him for a moment before speaking calmly, "It is simple that I am an Uchiha, That I do not hide. I am Naka." he of course was not afraid to state his name as Mugen seemed to be afraid of it. In the spite of Mugen making him mad he raised his right hand and pointed his thumb back towards Mugen speaking once more, "Though he doesn't state it that kid is Mugen." He didn't state the Uchiha part as he felt Mugen didn't deserve the title of Uchiha.

The academy had always been Daiyuki’s place of refuge, besides the tundra he loved to come and sit after everyone was gone. Daiyuki needed to find solitude in something hence why he needed student to teach. The one named Lazuru would interrupt his train of thought just he did he saw the boy form his snowball and in the same instance Daiyuki would show these academy students were well over their head by letting just a tad bit of his power leak out into a malicious aura.   
 
The aura would cover the sky it would form into a purplish wolf man figure. The aura would be the perfect description of Daiyuki, which was wild and bloodthirsty.  The aura would cause each boy to foresee his possible impending death in a gory fashion.  Shiroi watched as the boy approached with the kunai drawn but as he threw it into the air her attention would shift onto mugen who made mistake of using charka to amplify his technique she awaited for him to make attempt at an attack before she intercepted and pounced him.
 
At this point the snowball would have reached its maximum peaked and Laz would have lunged forward with the kunai. Daiyuki allowed him to come in just a bit before sidestepping send his arm of too the left but Daiyuki wouldn’t stop there he would then bring his elbow down and knee up pinching his arm within the two. Daiyuki would dial back the strength of the attack but make it strong enough and painful enough for the boy to release the kunai.  If all if this was successful the kunai would fall from Laz’s hand into snow out of his reach. Mugen’s attack would missed because he would be interrupted and pounced on.
 
“30” Daiyuki would say pushing the boy back toward Naka.
 
He wondered if this boy had analyzed the situation thus far.  Shiroi would hop of Mugen and return to her master’s side. 
 

Daiyuki had like that  Laz, one of the boys actually attempted an attack meant to kill further more he was interested at the use of the technique used attempted by Mugen.   He was a little confused by why the other boy had not attacked. Daiyuki wondered if he should pressure the boy. He proceeded to prepare himself for their next series of attacks.

Laz was surprised by the speed of the masked man. As he watch helplessly as the masked man bring his elbow down and knee up to catch Laz attempt at killing him. In a little pain Laz dropped the Kunai. "I'm not going to give up that easily." He said to the masked man. Even though his arm was caught between the elbow and knee he then do a flip turning his body to where he could reach down and scoop some snow up in the one free hand. Once he was upside down with the snow in his hand he then continued the turn with a roundhouse kick to the masked man face hoping to knock of his mask. Then he would throw the snow directly at the man eyes hoping to blind him. "28....shit I wasted two seconds" he thought to himself. If the man had let him go Laz would then dive for the kunai that was three feet away in a pile of snow where he spotted. He wasn't caring much of what the others was doing but he had come to one conclusion for a way to win."Teamwork!" He thought. He then would make his way for another attack this time even though he was not using any form of teamwork. Dashing towards the masked or unmasked man he would Could feel the aura coming from him but Laz still didn't back down. Once he was five feet away from the masked or unmasked man he would jump up two meters in the air and would then throw the kunai at him with full force aiming towards the head.

Mugen was almost certain that his attack would hit. Almost. He didn't expect what happened to happen. He felt the man's dog pounce on him, knocking to the ground and away from his target. The boy grunted upon contact with the earth as he was pushed into it with great force. He struggled to the get the annoying mutt off his frame, wanting to back help Lazuru with the battle. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the masked man uttered "30" that he was set free, forcing him to send a hated glare at their opponent.

"Dammit..." he mumbled, soon clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. It was painfully obvious that the stranger was stronger than them. They didn't have a chance if they attacked separately, and the fact that Naka told his name to the man enraged him even further. Not only that, but the Uchiha wasn't even attempting to land an attack. The boy quickly rose to his feet and analyzed the situation laid out in front of him. Laz was already aiming to strike their enemy again, which would hopefully keep the man's attention off the other two. However, there was still the man's companion that would be a problem. Mugen sent Naka a look, hoping that the Uchiha would get the message spoken in his eyes. Can you occupy the dog?

Even if Naka didn't catch what Mugen hoped he would, the boy still launched himself back onto the battle field. First, he went towards Shiroi, stopping 2 feet in front of the animal. He swiftly kicked up dirt in front of it's face, which should have momentarily blinded it. Without wasting another moment, he then dashed towards the masked man who was his next target. He wasn't sure how much seconds they had left, but he had to make every one of them count. Once he was 1 foot away from the masked individual, he aimed a sweeping kick for the his ankles. He was still behind the man, and as a result his attack would also be from behind. If the attack was dodged, then Mugen would immediately perform a jump a foot above the ground and aim an elbow for his enemy's neck.

Naka watched as the other academy students, Laz and Mugen, tried to fight the higher ranking ninja. He then was met with a stare from Mugen who rushed off attempting to blind the dog the man had, Naka then smiled as though they expected him to help. He watched them all as the began attack after attack, he then began to speak "Efforts are useless, he is stronger." Naka's voice steady and calm as he watched the fighting transpire.
