Misfits shoot for Rank Ups

Show Your Strength Promotion Mission


Mako walked from the Hokage's chamber's in which he had just received the mission he had been waiting for.  Mako was more than prepared for these exams and a high level escort mission was just the way to show it.  He walked down the steps, wearing his battle garb,  a flak jacket covering his chest with an upside down tanto on the left shoulder, brown khaki pants with his Heavens Sorrow Ninjato on the back of his belt with several pounches on the belt as well.  Under the jacket he had a black t shirt and around his right leg was the Konoha bandanna that he received becoming a genin.  In his right hand he held the packet containing the mission parameters for this mission.  He had yet to look at them though he would prefer to meet up with his team before leaving on the mission.


He had received many warnings prior to the mission, regarding traveling without a chuunin leader, and with two genin he had yet to work with at length.  Mako thought nothing of it though, it was furthering his own personal test of his limitations.  As a chuunin you are expected to be a leader among the village passing on your wealth of knowledge to future generations, and to Mako nothing was more important than that, so to further test his abilities as a leader and a great ninja worthy of the Sarutobi name he would face the odds. 

Mako continued his walk down the stairs with a cigarette in his mouth, his shoulders slumped and he had a very nonchalant look about him.  He had many thoughts passing throughout his mind, but most of all he thought about how he hated missions and how they were a pain in the ass. 

He walked through the city street stopping to get more smokes before he left, there would be no stops on the journey and he had to make sure he had more than enough.  Mako finished the transaction and continued walking at a slower pace toward the city gate.  Once there he would lean against the wall and wait holding the mission packet in his hand and waiting until the rest of the squad had arrived.  He was preparing a game plan for the mission ahead between puffs of his cigarette.

The gentle stroke of the morning sun landed upon the cheek of young mistress lingqi who was still soundly asleep. Curled in her arms were her companions Hiru the monkey and Glesenda who was fairy princess from another dimensions solo her finances, but they were still working out the details in that department. Once the sun touched her skin she was awake and ready to go. She jumped to her feet and woke the two sleepy heads that she'd been sleeping with earlier. "It's chuunin day!" She announced throwing off her sleeping pajamas.

She started to slide on a bra and some bloomers and just got herself ready in general. Her fairy fiancé smiled at her. "Morning prince." She cooed flying over to where Ling was sitting down and started to magically style lings hair. Glesenda was no bigger than a dandelion. Hiru on the other hand had fallen back to sleep and was drowning in a pool of his own drool. Silly Monkey. The two girls finsiehd and and Ling was now fully dressed. as usual she was wearing her trade mark Monkey outfit, you know the one. Brown maryjanes, brown socks, yellow stockings, that's right two lairs of hosiery ling was a freak. Brown baggy shorts that looked like the bottom half of a romper. Followed by a short puffy yellow and brown shirt/ hoodie that left her midriff revealed. The hood had a monkey face and ears on it. She also wore a pair of furry brown arm warmers to complete the look. Those were probably her favorite thing about the outfit. However she had to admit that that they were a little weird, still so cute.

Glesenda cooked everyone up some breakfast toast with peanut butter and banana. Which Ling and Hiru scarfed down immediately. Glesenda was a good housewife with Ling was around. When she wasnt' she was off in some other dimension ruling an entire fairy tale kingdom, so it's not like the girl ever had a dull moment, but much like ling she seemed to be perpetually happy and immune to the stress that that might cause. Plus she seemed uber in love with ling which helped.

"Aaah man!" Ling looked at her wrist which didn't even have a watch on it. "Look at the time! I gotta go." She gave Glesenda a peck on the upper half of her body, she so smaaaaall. "Love you, that was delicious bye!" Ling jumped out of a window and fell out of her Treehouse mansion she'd built when she arrived in kono. She had a lot of free time. She almost never actually practiced being a ninja. She left for the village gates. She didn't really have anything with her. One because that would require pre-planning and that was just gross. Two because she'd didn't use weapons. And she'd lived out in the wild for a year so if she got hungry, cold, wet, blue, sunny, raspberry, or poisoned she knew how to deal with it.

She got to the gates in no time. Even beating mako there. So when he leaned up against the wall ling of course had to greet him in the traditional ling way. which was accidently loosing focused while she was all walking and falling directly on top of mako. "Oh hi there!" She announced with a giggle. "ready to go?"

John woke up once more after a nightmare. John was starting to get annoyed at them, if he wasn't already. John remembered what Mako had said back then during their meeting, and sprang out of bed. After a quick shower and putting on his clothes, which consisted of green camo pants, his shinobi sandals, and a brown vest, he quickly went down to the kitchen and ate himself a quick breakfast that consisted of a cheese sandwich and apple juice. John then took off towards the village gates, while tripped to the ground. John got up, locked his door, and sprinted as fast as he could towards the village gates. He dodged as many people and vendors as he could before he found his way towards the village gates. He saw Mako and the girl already there waiting for him. John sprinted towards them and unfortunately and unprofessionally tripped to the ground again. John had to work on his balance, he mentally noted. John got up, dusted his pants and chest off from the dust and sand and other debris that could have stuck on his clothes and skin.

John then stood at attention and cleared his throat. John tied his headband that was tied to his left arm even tighter so that it wouldn't fall off. John thought that it was probably a bad idea to keep it there, and so he tied the headband around his forehead instead. It fit like a glove and John smiled. John stood at attention again. "Alright, i'm here." John said. John was ready for it. how ready, he wasn't sure. but he had to see what was in store for John. if it was gonna involve enemies and fighting, then John would love to fight his enemies. As long as they hadn't sharp weapons, it would be fine. John was also ready to protect the girl if and when the situation called for it. John now had a serious look on his face. he was ready all right. John was prepared. John was ready to do this.

Mako had actually arrived later than Lingqi which was a complete surprise to him and threw him for a loop.  Ling never came across to him as one with the ability to be prompt though here she was proving him wrong.  As far as John went the boy was right on time.  Mako stood with the order specifics in his hands and smoked several cigarettes within the minutes him and Ling waited on John, due to their earliness.  He had a strange feeling in his gut, he could tell it was his nerves, and he tried his hardest to make it go away.  He had never done a mission where the fire was live.  Additionally, he stepped into the role of leader meaning he was currently responsible for three lives, two of them fellow ninja of the hidden leaf and the last one a beloved pet monkey who he knew would be as much a part of this quest as his own summons. 

When John arrived he looked around checking out everyone and trying to gauge the supplies that they had between them without asking them or looking into their things.  When John came up to the remainder of the group Mako would begin giving out the assignments for the mission and addressing the issues that he himself had deduced could happen on the mission.  He had been given mission details in the Hokage's chambers and had been creating battle plans accordingly.  He knew for a fact that if someone planned to stop the delivery of this information, it would occur with an ambush as well it would be a 3 day journey meaning that there would be quite a few opportunities for any one to stop them on their path.  Mako had the Kenshoboku Haki so gauging enemy and ally strengths was simple enough for him to do, though knowing the enemies strength wasnt particularly helpful if it was far above your own.  John was one of the most talented Taijutsu users in the village who had a great deal of potential, and when that potential was finally realized he could easily be more powerful than Mako.  Lingqi on the other hand was a complete mystery to Mako having never seen her in combat, so he was incapable of planning any form if attack plan for her though he did know she had a potent Genjutsu involving the moon as he had been caught in it the first time they met, and this could be helpful if being swarmed at any giving time.

MAko had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, "Here is the mission," he said handing out packets to John and Lingqi.  "We are to escort a higher Rank ninja from Konoha to the Daimyo.  The shinobi who will head out with us has information that would be crucial for the Land of Fire and there will be a great possibility that our presence out there on this mission is expected.  So we should constantly expect an ambush.  Ideally, fleeing and protection of the escort is our primary concern, though if that is not possible we will need to develop an understanding of each others capabilities and strengths.  I am Mako of the Sarutobi clan and my strength lies in my ability to attack with lightning quick sword strikes that are too quick to dodge.  I additionally have a few fire jutsu and my clan element Ash that can offer cover over an are for escapes."

Mako finished his speal and looked around he just needed to know simple and basic info and they would await the Jounin and head out.  He wanted to do as much traveling in the daylight as he could so as not to have limited vision in the night time,  he felt this was the greatest plan of attack.  He continued leaning on the wall and waited smoking a cigarette.

-Time skip because introductions are boring-

Ah back on the road was there any feeling sweeter? Was there a more majestic thing for a human being to do than to simply set for and travel. It truly was divine Majesty just the simple act of putting one foot ahead of the other and not looking back. It was was glory, it was magistracy, it was life. Ling had spent an entire year out on the road just simply enjoying the aimless wanderings of a young girl. She was starting to feel cramped in this little shell of a village. It was pig and it had plenty of people to talk to but it was small when you compared it to the entire world. now wasn't it?

lings eyes were glowing blue as she gazed out at the crossing nature before and around her. She didn't want to get caught in a genjutsu sor soemthing while they were traveling ambushes and all that. Plus when she wasw like this she could feel the flow of chakra all around her. IT was peaceful and serine. It was something that king didn't reallly know what it was so it was nice to feel it everyone in a while. Just the delecate calm of nature. It was only at times like these that she knew what it was like to experience other emotions. 

Her monkey was sitting on her head and keeping his ears out for anything. He was a wise monkey he would warm them of an upcoming threat if anything came up. Which it totally would because Ling was just jabbering away the entire trip Their poor escort had ling waliing right next to him the entire time telling him about all the adventures she's had and all of the little things that happen in her life that she considers adventures. "And then the butterfly got eaten by a frog! Can you believe that? I was so shocked! A buttefly just dying like that. I was really upset with the frog, but then he looked at me and was all like "Ribbit" And I was like "Oooooh how can I be upset with that!' And then he jumped away!"

Because that's what escorts did right? They went around with their client and made sure that they had a good time! Talked to them, a made them feel good! Dressed up in silly little ourfits! Ling light being an escort, she wondered if she could do it professionally and if she could get muh money out of it. Oh man Ling wasn't really good with money. She'd have to get someone else to run her escort business. That way he could handle the money, and make sure that people could pay. Hiru she'd get Hiru to do it. He was already Her chimp! Ooooh and she could call him the monkey, because business men had to have cool names like 'The wolf of wallstreet' yeah that's so cool. Then when people didn't pay ling didn't have to get upset she could just send her chimp after them. "Oh you won't pay well you'll have to talk to my Chump about this, his names 'The monkey.' 

Oh man Ling was feeling great. She thought that she just created the worlds newest profession.

At any rate they were waling to their destination with thier Jounin escort. Mako was leading like a leader, and ling was talking her head off, and keeping close to the target. 

Hmm there wasn't any team building going on though. This was just going to be a simple mission if someone didn't step it up on the character development part.

Then she got an idea!

"I don't need a body guard! I got Hiru! I don't need you dumb boys telling me what do do! I don't need anybody by my monkey! I lived on my own in the wild forever with no body and no parents. So I can take on the world with your all of your hope. So just stay out of my way on this mission and try not to get swept away by my waves!"

There that would plant the seed.

She turned back towards the jounin. "So anyway like I was say, and then I started ribbiting back at the frog and...."

John stood at the back, preferably if there was any ambush coming from the back. John kept quiet for the most of it, since he was alone in his head with his own thoughts. though John was secretly ready should there be any attacks. though John was eager to fight any attackers that dared to lay their hands on their escort. John had also looked around as this was his first time ever stepping out of the konoha walls. sans his time going to the training grounds. though, John thought they were IN konoha, the training grounds that is.

As John walked with his group. he kept his eyes on the lookout as he was occasionally looking backwards for any ambushes from behind. There seemed to be no problem, but you could never be sure. John snickered a bit as he heard the girl say that she didn't need a bodyguard. also because that she said that he'd get washed away at her ninjutsu. John made a mental note to make her see how powerful he was,, so that she'll get amazed at his strength.

John was going to show his teammates just how strong he could be. Of course he shouldn't over-exert himself. That would be a foolish move to do. If he did that, his own teammates would be in danger. And John didn't want that happening at any costs.

John kept clenching his fists as if he knew something was going to happen, but he didn't want to alarm Mako and the girl. John wasn't sure if it was the weather or something, but he started to shake. as if he was being cold, but the weather was warm. Something in him told him that something was about to happen. John was pretty sure of that. He could literally feel it in his bones. John had hoped that he could trust his senses and be right for once. Should they get attacked however, Then John is going to use that and surprise both the girl, and the enemies. As nobody underestimates a Kaguya. they were going to pay dearly if they did. John smiled as he was now ready to take on anybody that dared to attack him and his teammates. As well as his escort. oh yes. It was going to be a massacre. With as few injuries on John as possible. John was now ready. At least, he hoped he was.

Mako moved in the front of the group silently, he listened all around waiting for something bad to happen with his advanced Haki.  He stayed ever prepared for an ambush though it wouldn't necessarily qualify as an ambush due to Ling's yelling.  He had asked her to quiet down on this mission several times to absolutely no avail so Mako had decided the best course of action was to create their own trap.   They were almost a day into the delivery mission and still no sign of an enemy.  He had heard Ling yell something about waterfalls and this was what he needed to learn, she was a Ninjutsu user, Mako didn't care how he was told as long as he was told.  In fact even though he wouldn't admit it he wanted to get the mission on the way so when Ling impatiently moved it along, Mako was more relived than angry.  Mako moved 20 m ahead of the rest of the group which was well within earshot of himself and provided the greatest distance ahead of them for his senses.  

He looked around and listened around hearing nothing but Lingqi's chatter and John's snorts. Until all of a sudden seemingly out of nowhere a large group of people could be heard approaching at an extremely fast rate. It was lucky for Mako that he could hear them or he wouldn't have been able to move back to the group, he needed to even the numbers up.  They had opted to take the road for quicker traveling and an easier walk trusting in themselves in case something happened. They would have been moving at a basic pace to keep their Stamina up. Now after a full day of travel at dusk they were actually approached.  

There were 10 by his count, 5 on the road ahead of him 5 on on the road behind him nearer to John and Ling.  He could sense three higher powered ones in the trees above him one to his 10 o clock, another to his 5 o clock and the last one to hi 1 o clock.  He quickly formed a battle plan with his fight or flight response kicking in. The ones lined up on the road much too slow to be an issue to him though they could pose John and Ling a little issue. And the higher level ones in the trees could pose him an issue.  And he sensed a higher powered one nearby though he was having trouble pinpointing his/her position.

So there they stood surrounded with 5 genin about 10 meters from their back flank, and 5 genin about 10 meters from their front. He was prepared.

Three kids? Should be easy enough! With a drastic numbers advantage and a tactically superior position The Silver Moon Mercanary Company wasn't going to have any trouble killing these kids and taking the Jounin and all of his information for themselves. Because they were bad guys, and they did bad things. Thus the name.

Squad A Launched in to their assault going for the frontal attack. They were the most combat ready of the two groups and could hold their own in a fair fight. Which this Cleary wasn't. Charging forwards Four of the five members of Squad A would use the transformation technique. Three would turn into Shuriken and the forth would turn into a sword. The Fith man, the leader of the group would also perform hand seals but to no effect at the moment. The Leader of squad A man named Tobi who had a wolf pelt for a cape would grab onto these shuriken and toss Them at Mako. One would be aimed directly at Mako's throat and the other two would be aimed in such a way that if Mako tried to side step the shuriken he would end up being hit by one of them. Tobi would also grab his squad mate who transformed into a sword in his left hand while pulling his own sword out of it's sheath with his right hand. If nothing was done to interrupt his attack Tobi would simply raise both swords above his head and bring them down upon mako when he got in range slicing a V into his neck from both directions.

Up Above the Three Chuunin sat with a tactically advantageous lookout over the battle field. The three of them had been former leaf Chuunin before they found that life a mercenaries paid better than actual ninja work, so now they worked for the silver moon killing and maiming who ever was worth a few hundred ryo. And the thing was, they'd gotten pretty good about it.

Raikioh was the groups leader as far as the chuunin was involved, simply because he was the most calm and put together. He had silver hair, and a calm and ever smiling face. He wore a simple but expensive looking silk man kimono with an ornate sword strapped to his hip. Rumor had it he killed half a dozen courtesans in the daiymo's palace to get his hands on that sword. He let out a smooth sigh as he saw that their little ambush had been discorved. Honestly he was surprised some common bandits hadn't tried it earlier with the way that little girl was blabbering about. They were certainly getting lax with their ninja since he left the village. "It seems we disappointed the boss lately." He announced with a sigh. "If these are the fools he's pitting us up against."

Across the Way at Mako's 5 o'clock came a loud giggle from a blonde haired woman in pigtails. She wore striped teal stockings, furry orange boots, green short shorts, and a yellow top that only really covered her breasts. Her hair was woven with beads, and key chains, and heavily dreaded. Her face was painted with just crazy make up. She was a ganguro girl if you've ever seen one of those. She Was Suzika. Some of the older ninja who were around the village as the same time as Suzika compared ling to her. They were both completely giddy, unpredictable, and skilled when it came to water jutsu. A little too much like ling in some ways her sense of right and wrong were almost nonexistence and friendly fire pretty much stunted her career despite her being on of the most skilled water users of her generation. "Naw he's not mad at us *Giggle* He just wanted to give us something to play with."

The third member of our cast was the youngest of the group, the baby if you will. A sparky little red head who's freckle covered face was mostly obscured with ash and a pair of bright red lensed goggles. He had headphones on that were blasting some sort of loud music, and he was bumping his head to the beat. He had both hands in the pockets of his baggy pants, and had terrible posture. Chiro Sarutobi. No major crimes for the most part, and a pretty good service record until he defected from the village. No one could quite figure out why he left the ninja life behind to join up with his squad mates. He never seemed to have any particular love for them, and just generally seemed apathetic to the life of a merc. Still passion or no passion he was skilled at fire jutsu. Having the ability to cast them without using the tiger sign meant that he could cast most fire spells instantaneously. He didn't say anything to his team mates just waited for his signal and thumped his head. He was at Mako's 1 o'clock.

Raikioh nodded feeling like he'd observed the battle field enough for his liking. "Suzika you back up Squad A, Chiroh and I will deal with the other two." He pit his finger, and performed the summoning jutsu, summoning a red fox to his side. "But first to take care of the taijutsu user." The Fox Jumped from it's perch and would soar in the air over Ling and the jounin and directly over John where it would perform it's action at a later moment so stay tuned for that.

"Gotcha!" Suzika shouted forming a few hand signs and jumping across the canopy Towards Macho. "Yippee!" In her right and a sword made of highly condensed water formed about a meter in length. It's liquid surface shimmered in the sunlight. With her left hand she dropped her sheathed sword out of it's sheath and caught it with chakra with her left foot. It was an unusual fighting style, but it was fun. If she wasn't stopped She'd jump behind mako, and slice him down the back with her water sword before Squad A even got to him.

Raikioh went on with his attack. "Let's do it Chiro!" Forming a few handsigns and taking in a deep breath Raikioh whipped his head and let out a massive blade of wind out from his mouth. It swept through the tree tops and decapitated every tree between Mako and john. As the foliage began to fall Chiro just rolled his eyes and a massive gout of flame flew from his mouth. The flames ignited the wood and leaves as they fell turning it into a deadly web of burning timber. "Let's see how they handle that."

Squad B on the other hand would be attacking John now who was at this moment about a meter and a haf behind Ling and the Jounin. And here is how their attack would go. On Mercanary would attack from either johns left and right, while a third would jump into the air and strike at him from above. The two remaining mercenaries would saddle up next to their group and counter any counter attacks hat might be made by their foe. And Team B's Trump card was..... Can you guess it?

The Fox! Taro the Fox! He'd land on the ground Behind the Squad and summon a barrier around John and the group of mercenaries. A ten meter arena would be formed with the fox at the center. To John the outside would be fuzzy and distorted. The arena would of course cut john off from Ling and the jounin as well. Of course the barriers wasn't invinceable if someone had 80 chakra they could escape. Which of course John didn't. That's why the fox wasn't sent after him! It looked like it would be a cage death match!!!

Now it was time for ling to actually do something with her post! Seeing the burning wreckage of the forest canopy coming down on her Ling would form the proper hand seals for a water wall. Fierce sheets of water began to rise from the ground and surround ling in a corkscrew fashion until she was completely out of sight as this large column of water spun around here. . The burning wood and wreckage would bounce off the mighty walls of water saving her hiru, and the jounin from trouble, but the rest was still falling down around them on john, mako, and even suzika if she didn't do something to dodge. Feeling safe Ling would then Form a half Tiger sign and punch her water wall. Fifty razor sharp needles of ice would fly out from her water fortress and go ripping through the air, right at, and hopefully through Chiro Sarutobi.

John looked around as he was surrounded by a team of genins. the tallest of them had brown hair in deadlocks, a bandage across his nose, some chipped teeth and a mean looking face. he was wearing green cargo pants, brown boots that had some scratches on them, and a combat vest that only covered the upper torso and shoulders. the second largest one had blonde hair, brown eyes, a big nose, one arm that was slightly longer than the other, and one of the ears had a tiny hole through it. he also wore green camo pants, blue shinobi shoes, a red jacket, and black gloves.the rest of the group that was going to fight John apparently wore the same clothing. Maybe they were a part of a clan? John didn't know, and he didn't care that much to be honest. they had some ugly faces though, and one of them had a piercing on their nose, and on their lips. the clothings were all camo patterns while wearing a hooded jacket, yellow pants with brown patterns across, brown shinobi sandals and the jacket was colored green with black camo patterns. the other two wore the same clothing, which consisted of beige jackets with matching pants, blue sandals and they had blonde hair with green eyes. three of them were genins and the rest were chuunins.

John saw that he was caught up in a barrier, and it looked like a strong one. It didn't look like John will escape from it. Maybe he could take the barrier out, if the user of it was out themselves. John looked up and saw a giant log coming towards him. John didn't want to get hit by that, so he dodged it by jumping forward with the speed of 41 and rolled right back up. the tallest one of the enemies took his chance to swing his sword aimed at John's shoulder in a downward position that was aimed at his right shoulder with the tall man's left hand. John did the best he could and dodged the sword attack to the left. John would then land on his back and John would cross his arms and then shoot out all of his finger bullets aimed at the tall man's face with the speed of 41. John had hoped that the man would deflect them or block them, to give John some time to recuperate, however, John wouldn't get enough time to do that as John turned his head and got hit across the face with a right hook. John wouldn't get hit again, so he activated dance of the larch. bones stuck out from John's body and smiled as he began to spun around in a circle while spinning in place. the bones cut into the man who had attacked him and they tore him up. John then stopped spinning around and then punched him with the speed and strength of 81, at his face and chest, breaking his nose, smashing out his teeth, and crushing his sternum and ribs. the man the dropped to the ground, dead. one down, four to go. apparently, it was one of the blond genin who had attacked John and his group. John heard the dead genin's teammates yell his name in despair and they were now mad. John turned and saw that the tall man who was a genin came at him with a sword ready to strike. how amateurish.. John crossed his arms and fired finger bullets straight at the genin who came at him, and John had aimed at the genin's legs. John had made them go in a spread pattern, so they were fanned out and hit his legs and pierced his skin. the genin dropped the sword as he tripped forward and crashed in front of John. the genin cried out in pain and John didn't care. this was a life or death situation, and anything goes. John had picked up the sword, walked over to the screaming genin and quickly dispatched him by slicing at his throat with the speed and strength of 81, instantly killing him. John dropped the sword and now there were 3 left. the three genins were now shaking in fear. "m-monster! freak!! you killed our friends!!" John scoffed. "so?`John replied. "you guys attacked us first. this is the reality of being a shinobi. it's kill, or be killed!" John said to them. and it was the harsh truth of being a shinobi. it wasn't fun and games. it was real. the three genins then did a very terrible beginners mistake. rushing in towards John. big mistake. John still had his bones sticking out of him, and just as they got in range with his bones, John spun around, effectively shredding them to pieces. the three genins fell to the ground and dropped their swords. John cracked his neck and knuckles as he was almost done with them. As John turned around to face them once more, for one final time, they got up on their knees. "wh--what are you?" one of the genins sputtered out. John cracked his neck one last time and crossed his arms. "me? i'm John Kaguya. thanks for warming me up." John said and fired finger bullets aimed at their foreheads with the speed of 81 and strength of 81, piercing their skulls and they then dropped dead. John exhaled as he turned around to face his last obstacle: the fox. though John wondered why it just stood there and let the genins die, instead of attacking at the same time. no matter. this was John's final challenge before he could hopefully exit the red ring of death

Mako would see the Girl Suzika flying through the air directly for him,  he noticed even further the trees falling down and crashing upon all of them.  MAko had very little difficulty dodging the trees with minimal exertion.  He noticed that the barrier around John protected him, and Lingqi's wall of water protected her from the attack.  Mako doubted that John could handle himself within that bubble with five genin and the summoned fox, but shit had hit the fan so hard that he had to trust him to take down the genin there was much more occuring and he needed to address these other things.  Mako would ignite his Heavenly Sorrow Ninjato in a wreath of Chakra and would quick draw it from the sheath launching a wave of sharpness from the edge of his blade at a speed of 125 toward the girl floating through the air.  The girl Suzika had nowhere to go and could not even react to the speed of the attack.  The blade swipe connected with a sharpness of 80, leaving a small red line across her body, that would erupt with a spray of blood a moment later.  Mako could see the life leave her eyes, as she stopped her momentum and fell to the ground in a thud.  Mako was deeply saddened by what he had to resort to but he didn't have the time to worry about it.  He would then see the other chuunin planning another attack and he thought for a second that maybe he could make his enemies attack weaved to his own advantage.  Mako formed the handsigns and launched a great cloud of Ash onto the five genin standing before him, the ones who had yet to follow up with an attack due to the fact that they have been dodging burning timber.  The ash enclosed them in a cloud that would be nearly impossible to see through without advanced senses.  Hoping to count them out of the battle for just a moment.  Mako would then begin watching the remaining chuunin in preparation for their next attack.


Raikoh stood where he was following the great burning collapse of the treetops, he would watch as the strange girl ninja below would weave a water wall to defend herself from their attack.  "Just like Suzika," the lead ninja thought to himself with a small amount of frustration.  His fox summon having successfully stopped the other boy though that fight did not appear to be taking a turn for the better either.  Raikoh couldn't tell much of the group they fought but it seemed to him that the Water user was easily the strongest with the Kaguya tai user closing in a close second.  It was then that the water needles burst from the wall of water directly at him.  "What a drag, such a boring move.  Lets just end this quickly Chiro, Suzika will handle the bearded one lets take out the water user."  Both Chiro Sarutobi and Raikoh the Silver lightning would drop down to the next line of trees narrowly avoiding the water needles that were pointed at him, with Raikoh taking a small slice on his shoulder from one of them.   All the attack managed to do was piss him off though, he moved the senbon in his mouth around a bit.  He was tired of playing around today.

"You ready Chiro?" Raikoh asked preparing hand signs and getting ready for a powerful wind style attack.  Chiro, still off in his own world would just shrug while lifting his hands up lackadaisically and forming his hands.  Chiro was just here for the money and as it stood it didn't appear that his  would pose a challenge so he was just simply along for the ride.  Chiro would then toss his attack toward the center of the party.  "*Yawn* Fire Style: Intelligent Hard Work," he would say then he would fire 3 small fireballs that careened toward the ground next to where Lingqi and Mako now currently stood.  Then Raikoh would make his attack, "Wind Style Pressure Damage" as great balls of wind would erupt from his mouth catching the currently small balls and igniting them into massive fireballs.  If the fireballs would connect with a hard surface they would ignite out and cover a great surface in searing hot flames.  The nature of the jutsu was coverage,  with the other genin of the mercenary squad safe within the barrier he didn't care what happened to the others, especially if they weren't smart enough to dodge the attack.  The nature of the attack was a fire jutsu that would explode into a great wide spread flame on its own, then enhance it with a similar style wind ball that would enhance the damage and the range of the attack.

Meanwhile in the circle created by the fox Taro John Kaguya had begun his attack, the genin struggled against him even with the advantage of numbers.  And just as John had dropped the fourth genin the fifth genin would be under assault from John's never ending barrage of bone.  John raised his fist to take the genin down and out of pure fear a last ditch effort was launched by the cowering final genin, as he lunged his sword directly out landing in John's right thigh, going extremely deep into the boy's leg.  Blood spurted out and poured down his leg.  The genin would not likely survive, though John would not make it out unscathed.  Taro the fox would, now that there were no casualties to worry about within his barrier, release his attack, filling the entire ten meter barrier full of an extremely poisonous mist.  Trapping John within a bubble of poison with no chance of escape.


Mako looked up seeing the attack coming though he couldn't stop it.  He could also see the mist starting in the bubble with an injured John.  He looked around and sized the area up quickly.  With HoHo he ran full speed without momentum(100) quickly over to the barrier, with his ninjato ahead of him he drove it directly through it.  Mako hated to release the barrier protecting John from the oncoming fire attack but he needed to make room for John to move away.  

Mako finished off by looking at John directly in the eye and smiling saying "You got this pal. Avoid the poison and crush that fox.  Flash stepping away to help Lingqi.
