Young NInja That Carry The Will of Fire

Mako clone A , the one Kaneki ran toward, would move to his left trying to draw the young genin away from his ally.  And Mako clone B moved to the right doing the same. However Mako clone b noticed the Boy picking up rocks and decided to give the young lad a little help, he pulled out a kunai and spun it launching it at a speed of 40 at katsu's feet hoping to trip him up with the quickness of the weapon, but not trying to hit him with it.  As each clone went their respective ways to seperate the boys then would prepare when the boys finally made the 20 meter traverse.  

Mako clone A would see kaneki activate the basic clone jutsu and dive at him with the kunai, but Mako found it easy enough to dodge, side stepping the stab and reaching out to push the boy and try to make him fall on his face.

Meanwhile, the real Mako from the safety of the wood would prepare his own contingencies, he would bite his thumb and place his hand flat on the ground summoning a small red spider monkey and offering him a cigarette, he considered for a moment the jutsu he could use that made kunai grow and how he needed to train it, then went about mastering the substitution jutsu.  He found a rock that would work suitably and activated the jutsu on it.  The monkey now sitting on his shoulder smoking had also grabbed a bell from his belt and laughed a bit dangling it in front of him.  Mako was ready to see if the boys beat his clones.

While Kaneki expected the man to be fast he had never expected him to be that fast. His rush had been all too anticipated , he realized he would need to stay on the offensive if he was to gain any ground at all. While he had a few jutsu in his arsenal he knew that revealing them from the beginning would be a flaw. 

Kaneki was surprised by the man's speed, as he was pushed to the ground he pressed both hands to the surface, kicking back towards the clone's chest with a speed of 10, hoping to gain some ground. If the kick succeeded he would quickly spin around, throwing the kunai at the clone at a speed of 10, hoping to end it quickly.

As both the boys continued their assault using the basic clone technique the Mako clones would laugh, his speed absolutely dominating the field of battle.  Even at that the boys seemed to be moving with some grace and not without some form of strategy.  As Mako clone A who was facing off against Kaneki, would watch as the boy pushed off the ground and came back to kick him, the clone would take the kick to the chest using his own strength to brace against it.  He would anticipate the kunai throw and would move with the hands of an expert to catch the kunai in midair with his right hand.  Mako was a master of weaponry and kunai were no exception.  His final maneuver was to grab the boys leg while he was kicking and give him a toss into a nearby tree, not so hard that it would hurt him badly, but would knock the wind out of him a bit. Then the moment Kaneki crashed against the tree the kunai in his hand would fly and pin the collar of kanekis"s shirt into the tree while he hung there.  Mako clone a clapped his hands together and rubbed them and gave a single comment, "Clone jutsus do not count as teamwork, now come get the bell,"

On the other end of the field Katsu would also have his own trouble, Mako clone B watched as Katsu took a different plan of attack, instead of trying to beat the clone like kaneki Katsu was focusing on the bell, and Katsu leaped up to try and send the bell flying by cutting the string.  Mako clone b would not let that happen though as the boy leaped up in the air to cut Mako clone b would take a small step back letting the kunai swing harmlessly to the side and would then step back forward as the kunai no longer threatened him and would use his large figure to grab the boy by the arm and throw him.  Though he didn't have a target for the toss he would just use the toss to launch the boy about 8 Meters away but not at too high of speeds.  this clone would also lecture Kaysu, :Clones are not teamwork,"

Kaneki had once again underestimated the skill of the opponent he faced. While he was sure he was putting forth a valid effort it was proving to be too little. The clone preached teamwork, which Kaneki sighed at. After freeing himself from the tree and spinning the kunai around in his hand Kaneki watched Katsu having his own problems with the chuunin. Kaneki made his way towards Katsu, watching as he impacted into the ground. After making it over to him the Genin pulled his hood down. "This won't work. We need to make a plan." He spoke softly, making sure the clones were not able to hear. "Do you have any jutsu that are....worth anything?" After speaking Kaneki paused for a moment. "I have an idea."

The young Genin pulled one of his smoke bombs from his weapons pouch. "Listen to me. You need to hide, when you see an opening, attack." Kaneki also drew four shuriken and let them rest in his hand. "As soon as I give you cover....hide. After this I'll be too weak to do much more than distract. We have to at least take one of them out with this attack." Kaneki slammed the smoke bomb of his into the ground before letting his shuriken fly out from the smoke. The shuriken were not meant to be accurate but at least provide him cover for his next move. 

"Ok...I can't mess this up." As he sat in the smoke he began to weave hand seals. Ram. Snake. Tiger. "Clone Jutsu." This time, knowing he could only conjure one, Kaneki smiled at the clone he conjured before pulling his hood up and weaving a new set of seals. Dog. Boar. Ram. "Transform." After speaking he became surrounded by even more smoke as his body changed to match Katsu's. After making sure the transformation was perfect Kaneki drew his kunai and smirked. "Now...let's keep this clean."

Kaneki and his clone both rushed out towards the closest of the chuunin's clones at a speed of 5 . Being careful not to show that Kaneki wasn't in fact Katsu he tried his best to mimic his movements. But the two did not attack, they simply began circling the chuunin in a rapid speed of 10.

Mako sat in the distance, beneath a tree he had a cigarette in his mouth and he played with the bell that was currently tied to the belt of his khaki's.  He had a cigarette in his mouth and would casually remove it and blow the smoke out.  He waited patiently next to Sushma who sat on his shoulder smoking his own cigarette with another bell tied to his tail.  Mako would know the boy's were coming the moment the clones were beaten and their decoy bells found out, he hoped they were smart enough to track the smoke.

Mako clone A had just pinned Kaneki to the tree and watched as the kid ran toward the academy student.  Mako clone A would proceed also do the same imitating the boys much slower run he would run to a point about ten meters away and wait.  Mako clone B would also imitate running back to where the other clone is.  They continued to watch the boys work out a strategy and stood side by side waiting.

" I think they have somewhat passed the first test," Mako clone A would say to Clone B.
"Yea, but id like to see how this plays out, as we might have given them too much of a hint." Clone B responded.
Clone B stood with his arms crossed and watched.  Clone A however who was on the right, would reach into his pouch and produce a shuriken, and proceed to throw it in the boys direction, aiming for Katsu the academy student, it came in at a speed of 30 and an impact force of 10 making it difficult to dodge but not impossible. Following the throw by saying, "There is little time to rest on the battlefield,"  

The clones stood shoulder to shoulder intrigued to see what kind of strategy the two would come up with.

Eventually Kanaki realized that they needed something a bit more new. He began to retreat as Katsu had advised. After retreating Kaneki paused to figure out what else they could do. He knew that both of the clones ahead were most likely a distraction. Knowing their luck the bells they had were simply conjured up by the Chuunin. But it wasn't an impossibility that they had the real bells. Kaneki paused, wondering what they could do in a situation like this.

Not only had he expended a great deal of his chakra he had few supplies to use, all he could do now was wait and watch, hopefully Katsu could come up with a decent plan. If not than they may be dealing with these clones for a while.

Normal...

The day had been normal. Nothing of any extraordinary or out of sync details occurred on this day. Lukas had already been awake and was getting himself ready to get some training in. He figured that today, he could venture out into the forest since there were a plethora of trees. Trees entailed promise to his clan; wood to be exact. His yard only possessed two tall trees on the east and west sides bordered by a tall wooden fence. They were tall and adult sized but he needed more than this. More of an environment rather than an open space.

As he went down his steps, the young boy was already fulled dressed and ready to leave. Stepping into his kitchen, he noticed his mother was not there. She would usually be up cooking something extravagant. She had a hard day of worrying prior to today so it was in her best interest to just sleep in. Lukas was not hungry so he chose not to grab a bite to eat. It felt more satisfying to train on an empty stomach. Eating would just provoke him to display two of the 7 deadly sins: laziness and gluttony. Those were best left dormant so Lukas just walked out of his front door and went on his way.

The forest part of the training grounds was his destination. The young Senju walked normally with his hands in his pocket. Nothing out of the ordinary with him. Not a lot of attention might be paid to a citizen just minding their own business. Lukas walked past many civilians and received many greetings. His nature prevented him from being enthusiastic of the lively natures of others. Most had not endured the pain he had went through. They could not possible know how hard it was to actually smile or even be happy. Despite the fact that he was the way he was, being rude was not the answer either. A few head gestures were exchanged for the greetings of others. That is about all.

Lukas knew he was approaching his destination as he saw tree after tree. It was beginning to look as if he were now stepping into the vicinity of a jungle. Walking through, maneuvering the positioning of some trees that prevented him from keeping a strict linear path, Lukas noticed that there had been more people here. Lukas turned his head to see 2 different people and then 2 of the same people while he looking. He figured the two similar beings must be clones. No matter, he would mind his own business anyway. Lukas then walked past them to find his own spot. Intruding on someone else's session would be rude and he did not want to be an annoyance. He had now moved about 20 meters to the north of him where there had been a large tree surrounded by 7 smaller trees. He was ready to see how much he could take this whole Mokuton thing.
