Mission: Capture the wolf

After listening to the others, Hanbei would speak up. "I don't have much. I only have my brilliance, and a few needles." Hanbei tossed a needle to a nearby tree, piercing the bark. Looking to the others, he wondered if he were skilled enough to even be a chuunin. The others had skill and plenty of jutsu to boot. He himself only knew chakra sensory and the basics of a genin. Perhaps it was his mind that brought him here? Or perhaps his potential.

Before Hanbei could continue to strategize, he spots something out of the corner of his eye, the strong chakra of a living being, hiding behind a tree in the dense forest. "There." he points over to where he saw the intense chakra. "In the shadows. I believe we have found what we came for. Let's tread carefully." Hanbei began to take note of the landmarks and look over to Akihana, "Everyone's ideas are needed, perhaps we can combine our strategies to take down this beast."

Odin's head snapped towards the direction of the wolf.  Sweat dripped down his head as he sensed the wolf's direction.  Without thought, he bit his finger and placed it on the ground.  A small summoning circle appeared on the ground.  Suddenly, a lightning bolt came out of the sky and slammed into the circle, revealing a small golden dragon.    The dragon had sparks that came off of it's small wings.  It seemed to scoff at Odin, acting like it was a annoyed to be summoned. 
"We need your help Quezacotl.  Can you help track the wolf from above?"

"Pshh. I know what you want boy, this is child's play.  Fine," the dragon snickered at him as hit flapped it's wings, ignoring everyone else in the area. 

Odin turned back to the others, somehow taking charge all of a sudden,
"I'm using my thunder clone to give chase on the ground while us three will try to catch it off guard and flank it," he said as he did a tiger then ram hand seal. 

Odin turned into a puff of smoke and a lightning infused clone came sprinting out of the puff of smoke, doing the hand seals for flicker movement.  The lightning clone ran after the target, leaving behind a lightning light trail for the others to follow. 

"Let's go! No time to waste!" he said as he pulled out his jet black katana and using surface walking technique to run up a side of a building to chase after it on the roof tops.

Clone AP:430 -15=415

Akihana watched as first Hanbei and then Odin detected the wolf, impressed with the boys' work. Her own chakra sensory had picked up the familiar presence long ago but this mission wasn't abotu her or her abilities, it was about being there for the boys as they discovered their own. Relenting to Odin's plan of areal tracking as well as giving chase on foot, the kunoichi nodded, directing chakra to her feet. Okay you guys, I'm going to give you something that might help.

"Focusing on her light construct ability, the Chinook crafted a pair of sharp looking glass daggers, handing them to the boys. "These are not only sharp but when you throw them, they burn too so be very careful. These are not to hurt the wolf though, just to set parameters," she explained, as one boot after the other pounded the ground as they gave chase.

"Also, if we get separated, lift those high above your head and let them catch the light. I'll come find you." With that, the kunoichi turned to Hanbei, knowing his health and speed didn't allow him to run as much as would be required, she took his hand. "What say we set up a Genjutsu ahead for the wolf, Hanbei-kun? Never hurts to have a fail safe."

If the young man would agree, Akihana would take a few steps ahead and activate her wings, the glittering light constructs spreading from her back in shades of pink and purple as they caught the light.  Once the wings had formed, the blonde move to Hanbei. 'I really hope you aren't afraid of heights," she mentioned before sliding her arms under his and lifting him up off the ground.

To Ran, she said "We're right above you, don't worry," before heading off in the direction of Odin, carrying Hanbei with her as she flew through the streets of the village and after the wolf.

Ran looked out at everyone as stye chased after the wolf. He by no means fast, infact he was probably the slowest. He just stared as the others quickly leaving him behind to chase after the wolf. He stood there wondering if he was suppose to be there? Should he be here with them? I mean he was a noobie and wasnt really consumed by any need to prove himself. In fact he was rather new genin but you know what?! he wanted this! He wanted to show everyone that he could make something of himself! He wanted to be the one to capture the wolf.

Ran thought of a plan as they chased after the wolf. He drew his kunai and hopped in to the trees. He darted from branch to branch, jumping off rocks and soaring into the village. He landed on the roof of a ramen shop. He took off and tossed a kunai at the beast. He drew some more and snarled. "Guys! We need to push it to desperation! Rightn ow its running! We need to force it retaliate! Then we can get it into a genjutsu! FORCE IT INTO A CORNER!!!"

Perception was a weird thing and in the shinobi world it was something that could make or break you. In this case the direction that the kids were looking at while incorrect only served to be their first mistake as another shinobi stepped from behind the tree, the wolf being in the alley as previously stated would simply watch as the shinobi yelled at the kid throwing a needle at the same tree before walking off into the distance.

With that being said, the wolf would have still left from the alley and went on his current path through the village, its eyes being everywhere and its ears hearing all things going on about the village. With the summon high above him and the others already making plans, it wouldn't take long for the wolf to simply outsmart them and go about his day. So while running through the village he made a sharp left, heading towards what appeared to be large group of people. Now the people in this crowd being mostly made up of the village ninja and civilians. While in this crowd, his body woulde be under zero visibilty, its chakra signature disappearing amongst the many people by use of a suppression technique.

From the sky none of the students would be able to identify its body until its chakra flared again, two wolves being created with the same chakra, except one had apparently had more of a distinct chakra than the other one. The one with the larger chakra created a panic within the crowd causing the large bout of people to run around to create a large panic amongst the people. The two wolves would have taken off at the same time and in the same direction before splitting, one going towards the training grounds and the other heading towards the living district of the village.

Aerial tracking, Akihana was learning, was not as easy to her as tracking on foot yet. No doubt it would take time to get as comfortable with her wings as she was with her feet on solid ground, but the kunoichi had to admit the view was a lot better from forty meters up in the air. Not only did this enable her to spy the wolf making its way through the village, taking a left and heading towards the cluster of people going about their everyday lives, she was also able to see how far off course the other two members of their team had gone. Talks of forests and trees seemed to manifest which puzzled the kunoichi as the wolf had always been in the alley and was now in the middle of the village. Akihana thought to call Ran and Odin but decided to keep quiet when she saw what happened next.

Her own speed and familiarity with he wolf gave her enough knowledge to see the shadow clone formed, one inadvertently heading towards where Odin and Ran had been, perhaps trying to corner them when it no doubt heard them shouting out their strategy for the entire village to hear. It wasn't their fault really, how were they to know the wolf had hearing far more keen than any of them could imagine. Though she hoped the boys learned from this, namely to not scream their plans out loud.

The wolf was clearly not going to make this easy for her, the blonde decided as she watched the clone run off. Deciding to trust Odin and Ran with it, she and Hanbei flew towards the crowd where the other version was causing quiet the riot.

"Okay Hanbei, here's your first test," the medic, encouraged, still holding on to the boy as they flew overheard. "Focus on your genjutsu ability to try and calm these people down. There's a wolf loose and they're panicking, how can you change the image just slightly to stop the unrest? Remember, a good shinobi looks after the innocent first before taking care of his foe in battle." The young woman knew of course that the beast wouldn't harm anyone beyond a mild panic attack, but Hanbei did not. And now would be his chance to show that he was picking up on the stuff it took to be a chunin of Kumo.

(Okay guys, reestablishing posting order so its me, Hanbei, Pretty, Odin, then wolf. I took the stronger wolf to make life easier for Pretty and Odin but please keep careful track of where it goes. So Akihana and Hanbei are taking the one heading to the living district while Odin and Pretty get to chase the one heading to the training grounds. Good luck, everyone. <3)

Hanbei dangled from above, gazing down at the group of people and the fleeing wolf. He was trying to not be distracted by the view and shook his head, snapping him out of it. "Alright... Give me a moment. Tying them all together in one jutsu will be hard." Hanbei wasn't sure if he was ready for this, but he knew that he had to show promise if he were to rank up. He wasn't going to stop until he was the ultimate genjutsu user, even if he had to lose his limbs in the process. Hanbei closed his eyes and focused on the sound of the wind; blocking out the sound of panic below. Hanbei thought for a moment on how to tether them all together in one ability. He thought maybe focusing on each one for a split second, but that would take too long, as there were many villagers. He then decided to focus his genjutsu in a wide area, rather than sending focus from one person to the next.

Hanbei took note to what Akihana had said. She knew more about genjutsu than he, so her words obviously had great wisdom in what she expected from him. He knew exactly what he would do. A puppy! With a grin, Hanbei cleared his mind and blocked out everything entirely. An outline appeared in his vision as he opened his eyes; thin blue radius showed him his area of effect in which his ability would work within. Hanbei focused his chakra and within a moment, launched his ability to the center of the area. The result was similar to an explosion, but instead of fire and gunpowder, was a giant illusion jutsu. The citizens began to calm down slowly; realizing that the beast they had saw was simply a puppy. Hanbei smiled to himself, he COULD get the hang of this. "I... I did it! Did you see that!? They don't know what hit 'em!" He looked up at Akihina in a proud manner, but looked back down, realizing that she could have easily seen his entire face.

Ransurotto quickly realized his mistake. Saying to plan out loud for any one to here, even the wolf. He shouldnt have assumed it was an ordinary wolf. He fucked up and wanted to apologize but he didnt have time. He took a glance at Odin and gave him a confident nod. He took off towards the wolf, hopping onto the roofs, scaling the walls and leaping towards the training ground. He was on the wolfs trail.

"Odin! Get that dragon of yours to cut him off! I think we can take him we get some sort of advantage." He says assuming that Odin is next to him if not about to get ahead of him. Ransurotto looked to Odin and smiled. "I have a plan. Ive used it before and its rather simple, but Ill....you know what. You'll know what to do."

Ransurotto weaves the hand signs and poof! smoke appears but odin can see that Ransurotto has turned into a duma shuriken. He hopes odin will understand and not only grab him but hide him. He knew something like this might be stupid enough to work.

Odin had waited for the others to run up the rooftops and run along side him.  He smiled as he waited for a brief moment, trying to stick together with the team when the wolf split into two and headed in different directions.  He suddenly lost track of the wolf's chakra as it split, hoping that the one they were chasing was going to be the real thing. 
His clone made a left in the alley, trying to be right behind the beast as it darted away.  It would give chase the whole time to that one on its own, trying to get it's attention so it could attack it. 

Quezacotl flew down, breathing a small blast of lightning down in front of the clone of the beast, hoping to make it stop in it's tracks. 

Odin looked at Ran and knew what he would mean as he disappeared into a puff of smoke.  He grabbed ahold of the duma shuriken that was Ran and sprinted at full force on the rooftops, never looking away from the clone beast. 
He knew Akihana had Hanbei in safe hands and he was going to try and protect Ran as well.
He used the hand seals for flicker movement and gave chase. 

He made sure he was running at his full speed as he jumped off the rooftops to directly confront this beast, coming in at 20 more speed than his max and came down in front of the beast with a dynamic entry.  His feet crashed into the ground in front of the beast as he looked at the beast, using his temporary paralyze technique's mastery, staring at the beast in the eyes to stop it's movements. 

He reared back and threw the duma shuriken at the beast clone.

The wolf currently running from Odin and Ransurotto would continue on its path undetered, the crackling of lightning through the sky would cause it to accerlate a bit more aware of the attack heading for him, but simply did not care. Through the activate of a technique its skin would be a darker shade although because of its fur one could not tell the activation of a technique would have happened. The lightning however would simply hit the wolf without fazing him, but would slow down after Odin had landed in front of him because of his kick. However because of his landing he would have doomed both himself and his partner. Moments before Odin could pull of his jutsu the wolves killer intent could be felt throughout the area as a large form of the wolf loomed over the three of them, causing an immense form of fear and dread to be felt by the two boys. Due to its overwhelming presence the two would be frozen in their tracks, unable to make any movements. After freezing them in their places he would return to running off, its destination heading towards its other half.

Meanwhile the other wolf had continued on its course through the residental living quarters, jumping through windows and heading through obscene areas, often disappearing from the aerial sights of Akihana and Hanbei. At this moment it would slide and jet off into the eastern area of the living areas heading towards the mountains.


[So essentially Pretty and Odin are paralyzed in fear due to Display of Power and the wolf having over a 1/4 of their stats]
