What's going to work? Teamwork! [p/mission]

(Doing this mostly for the ryo and action point boost.)

Mission:

Ashur walked out of the missions office with a slip of paper in hand and a troubled look on his face. Reading over the mission once more it appears he was going to have to teach three snot nosed brats how to become actual ninja in a fight against some kind of team that might as well have been trained to work together by a kage. Sure he knew the Raikage was talking about having him skip a few of these missions, but he was in it for the cold hard ryo not for the rank up. Being Jounin sounded stressful and over powering to Ashur. Going from Genin to Chuunin was some kind of leap into a massive swell of power, god knows what happens when he makes it to Jounin or even Anbu! How bad could a bunch of Genin be anyway, he was able to handle himself pretty well as one. Reading the mission once more, he read off that apparently the Genin were fresh from the academy with barely enough strength to go up some stairs. He was going to lead some kind of vegetable army in wheel chairs, fantastic. Laughing to himself, he realized more and more just how completely screwed he was. Use the Garuda's powers and they all break down into violent seizures and the mission is over. On the other hand, don't use the Garuda's powers and pray to god nothing goes wrong. No, he wasn't going to put himself down. He had speed and swordsmanship by his side all the way through. He was going to become greater than he was the day before and teach some vegetables with headbands how to become cold-blooded killers. With a throw of the poke ball he had, Brandon came out and sighed.
"Ashur, what the hell? You took another mission! Knowing you can take ss-rank missions at Chuunin, I really don't like the sound of this."
Ashur gave Brandon a pat on the shoulder and smirked.
"Well how about we catch up a little, haven't done a mission with you in a long time. Don't worry about the rank, it's only B."
The frog laughed, remembering the good ol' days where Ashur had gotten himself in trouble and relied on miracles. Now it appears Ashur runs on raw strength alone and lots of luck to back him up. Still the same 13 year old boy everyone knows and hates though.
"I think it will be great to see whatever kind of trouble you got yourself into this time, go ahead, read the mission off. As long as we work together, it should be possible. Also..."
The frog looked at Ashur as if he was going to break his tough guy act and cry tears of joy.
"...thanks for letting me help you on this mission."
Ashur smirked at this and patted Brandon's head while taking up the poke ball again.
"No need to get so excited, we are going to teach three brand new Genin how to become a killing machine against a team of a Chuunin and three Genin of equal caliber. Imagine a bunch of vegetables trying to fight the Akatsuki and that might put it into perspective."
Ashur had no hard feelings towards the injured, in fact, he worked in a hospital once just to get by and helped them. It was a fun day when he saw a kid become strong enough to get up and take two steps before falling over. Something was inspirational about it all, someone worked their entire life for the sweet satisfaction of two steps while ninja could take two steps in half a second. Was Ashur taking things for granted? Could he have ever became cripple himself? Remembering all the shady people and spies and smirked while looking back at his times in this village. Who knows what it will look like in a few months, he wondered. Showing Brandon the sheet of paper, he could hear the frog's anxiety surfacing.
"Ashur... you really are an idiot, but at least you take a few chances."
The frog spoke once more under his breath.
"Maybe just a little bit too many..."
Ashur chuckled and took the sheet of paper back. He took the frog with one hand, easily and flew with his belongings to the designated location the three genin would be waiting at.

[729]

Ashur landed gracefully with Brandon onto the ground and looked around for the three Genin as Brandon laughed. It was a peaceful place, the natural section of the training grounds with a river and a few trees planted here and there. One must be skilled in all environments and the same rules applied here. As Ashur scanned the tranquil place one could meditate at rather than fight, he saw three kids staring at him with their jaws dropped. The boy paused for a moment and realized these must be the kids he was going to train. With a wave of his hand, he motioned the three to come forward.
"Hey, you are the squad I will be leading temporarily right?"
Brandon snickered wondering what the kids were doing out of pre-school. The three looked at one another and nodded. All three rushed at Ashur with kunai in hand and went to stab him in the legs and chest. Ashur looked at them coming and decided he might as well demonstrate a bit of his own power. Weaving the hand signs bird, ox, and tiger, he let the kids stab through him. He was already impressed by their will to go as far as to injure their squad leader to prove a point, not a single bit of hesitation. Ashur played the part of acting like he couldn't see the three snails coming at him with butter knives and then just exploded into thousands of feathers around them. He could almost laugh at it all, he was moving through the feathers faster than the kids could move. The Genin went back to back quickly forming a defensive circle as Ashur watched them.
"Keep a look out Kira, he will try to reform over head to use his flight abilities."
Grimacing slightly, it seemed the one with the black hair knew what he was doing. Ashur reformed in front of them with open arms. To the kids the feathers had suddenly just vanished and Ashur was right in front of them.
"Come on, big hugs. You guys were awesome! My names Ashur and I will be leading this squad. My specialties is speed, flight, and feathers. I am here to not only teach how to work as a team, but how to survive in real fights. So far, you guys were incredible except for your approach."
They rushed at him with kunai as he talked and went for his groin, the stomach, and his neck. It seemed these kids knew a bit about history of the once great empire that used to slash through fights quite like this. Ashur smirked and activated his dojutsu just to show off and was able to grab each kid by the arm and throw them into the air at fast speeds. Panicked the kids tried to gain some kind of footing in the air without much accomplished. Ashur continued as it seems the kids were now weaving hand signs and stabbing each other in the air. The kids substituted with various sticks and such below and regained their footing. Ashur was shocked to see how they took to the ground again.
"You need to attack me from different angles and try to separate yourselves. Rushing at me means I will out speed you and know your locations, you need to surround me and give me a tough situation with some throwing and some charging at different angles and locations. Already though, you are at a pretty good starting point, but do you preset tactics work in unexpected situations?"
The kids threw kunai at him at varying angles and locations around him, thinking he would move to dodge. Ashur grabbed the kunai and threw it back at them at four times their speed. The kunai cut through their weapon pouches and let everything leak out as Ashur jogged to them. They reached back into their weapon pouches as they realized their weapons fell to the ground. Completely defenseless they tried to cover themselves with their arms and Ashur poked the middle one on the forehead lightly.
"Now lets actually get to learning, shall we? If you will, could you give me your first and last names? Lie to me and get dropped from 15 meters in the air head first."
They looked at one another shakily as Ashur smirked. The one on the right, who seemed to be their leader, spoke.
"My name is Hito Mizukai, the girl next to me is Kira Uni, and the weakest of our group is Kanto Meijin."
Ashur laughed and knew the mission already told him the real names. The leader knew this and didn't lie at all. The Meijin left him the happiest overall for how strong he knew Hikashi was. Brandon smirked at the entire scene and watched it play out.
"Hito is no longer your leader, it's now me, Ashur Shiroi. You now are equals no matter what kind of talents you may have and you shall obey and work with me from now on. Kanto, never let your limitation keep you down, you can become great at your element, greater than anyone else could ever be with it. The rest of you might not be born into a clan, but you can still be as strong as even people fabled to possess god's eye, the rinnegan. Your training starts now and our window is small, be ready for whatever is next."

They nodded as Kanto looked in awe at Ashur. They had heard the Shiroi clan was for weaklings, but seeing this kid before them made their minds change. A true inspiration to them to never judge a book by it's cover. The three gathered their things and sewed their weapon pouches back up before the training. Another fun day, Ashur thought as he began to run through ideas on how to make these kids strong.

[979/1,708]

After brainstorming a little, Ashur realized that this mission specified nothing about what the victory was. Two teams fight to victory... what does that mean...? With a heavy heart he looked at the light in the kid's eyes, glimmering with hope. They could all die... every last one of them could be killed and it would be his fault. The kids were willing to kill, but how much can they take? With these chilling thoughts in mind and the Raikage's missions filled with the possibility of death, he knew this wasn't a joke. He straightened himself up and called over to Brandon.
"Brandon, lets give a demonstration of how to fight hand to hand to teach these kids a thing or two. Move at half speed so they can see it though."
The kid's eyes widened and both Ashur and Brandon laughed remembering when they were that weak. It felt so long ago for the two, last time they had fought was by that hotel... they had almost lost each other over something as simple as power... a truly sad sight for the two. Ashur and Brandon stepped to the plate as the kid's took notepads out and got determined faces on.
"Taijutsu is used by even the most spineless ninja, some people go into taijutsu and others use it at entry level like me. Whether you use special jutsu for taijutsu or sit around with weapons, you will need to learn basic taijutsu. Basic taijutsu, however, was taught in the academy. We are teaching you a higher form of it for much harsher fights. Keep a close eye to our split second reactions and keep in mind this is mostly muscle memory. In the fight ahead, you could all die if someone with taijutsu skills comes up to you. Always know when to pull out of a taijutsu fight if your opponent either looks tough or can throw a punch worse than you can. Taijutsu is as simple as two different elements working together: speed and strength. Out speed someone of equal strength and victory is easier, become stronger than the opponent and the same case is met. However, you will notice that there are two basic styles of taijutsu. One in which you barrage your enemy with speed and one in which you play defensive and do heavy blows when you can. With enough research you will understand the vast amount of knowledge to be learnt with taijutsu and the amazing amount of styles and variations of it. Someone of the Hyuuga clan, for instance, apparently uses a very different form of taijutsu involving a much faster pace. If you see someone who talks of a byakugan, you need to stay away at all costs unless you know you are experienced in weaponry or taijutsu to great extents. Brandon will be using a method of delivering hard blows to weak points and I will be using my speed alone in a very controlled manner. Note the two different styles and why they are done that way then assess what makes you the more speedy approach or the approach focusing on strength."

Ashur concluded his long lesson and felt intelligent. If only he had a gold star for his hard efforts just like the preschool did. Life wasn't fair these days, he thought. Now instead of having naptime you cause others to have permanent naptime. He got into a fighting stance as well as Brandon and began to plan out what the possible options Brandon had. The kids already began to scribble notes up and down their notepads as they watched.

[602/2,310]

Ashur started off with three jabs to Brandon's right shoulder in rapid succession then continued to move his left foot backwards to become better at dodging while getting some distance for the counter attack. Knowing Brandon's right arm would be in some sort of pain, he knew the frog would become more likely to either kick or punch with his left arm.
Brandon did a low kick to Ashur's legs while faking a punch with his right arm in order to catch Ashur completely off guard. The minute the boy would be swept off of his feet, the frog would go for a heavy right hook into the stomach to wind the boy.
Getting swept off of his feet, Ashur saw Brandon actually throw his right hook and slam into Ashur at tremendous force. The boy began to cough as he was pushed backwards. The kids cringed hearing the tremendous force Brandon had done in a single blow, had he not worn guards over his sharp appendages, it would have torn through Ashur. Ashur made the sign for a time out and looked at the kids.
"You see he caught me off guard and made sure I wouldn't be able to react in time to stop that barrage. Had I been trying to do anything more than a demonstration, I would have probably won for the reasons of being able to see the attack miles away."
Ashur and Brandon got into a fighting stance again then Brandon rushed Ashur with his spikes without any kind of guard over them. He tried to slice through the boy in rapid succession as Ashur made a tiger hand sign and was too focused on dodging to do the rest for disperse. To his surprise, it was enough and he exploded outwards into feathers as Brandon looked around for the boy. The kids remained speechless, wondering the same questions.
Ashur reformed to the right of Brandon and jumped back as if he was defenseless. Brandon jumped towards Ashur ready to slice the kid to pieces as Ashur held a single kunai outwards and lightly tapped Brandon's nose. Ashur pulled away and jumped back while calling for a time out.
"Hey you cheated! This was a hand to hand fight!"
Ashur smirked and looked out to the crowd.
"Every single ninja must use everything they have in a fight, because not many people play by the rules. Always assume there is a catch. This fight is over because I had him rush me and I held a kunai to his nose as he was in motion. Brandon and I would have both gotten injured if we had been trying to harm the other. Come down kids and let me teach you how to fight with all you have."
The three came down as Brandon smirked to Ashur. The boy looked at the three all lined up for a fight and felt pumped.
"Any opening, no morals needed. When we fight the others you have no idea what they could possibly be planning. Assume they have many traps laid out and have some kind of secret weapons. Don't fight the Chuunin in a one on one fight if the chance ever arises. You will die in a fight against him, but all three of you stand a good chance."
He held up a red flag and looked at the kids up and down.
"You will need to choose one of your strongest taijutsu users to fight me on a one on one fight. When this flag goes down the fight begins."
Ashur prayed to god these kids would understand the lesson he just said. The three looked at each other fearfully and then Kira walked forward and stared Ashur in the eye.
"It's me. I am the strongest taijutsu user they have."
Ashur smirked and pulled down his red flag. Hoping to see the other two join in, he began to get into a fighting stance. To his dismay none of the kids did a thing. He was going to have to make this into a learning experience and teach them later on why they did wrong. Kira jumped between Ashur's legs as he was deep in thought then threw a kunai towards the back of his head. Ashur spun around and narrowly dodged the kunai in shock.
"Wow, crafty."
He spun around for a round house kick to her head but the leg he stood on was suddenly kicked out from under him as Kira pounced for an elbow to his neck. The other two kicks followed with a downward kick in either side of Ashur to make his fall as harsh as possible as Kira inflicted pain on his throat to become a priority and a distraction. Slamming to the ground, the boy breathed heavily and saw each of the three hold kunai pointed towards his vitals. He made the sign for time out as they moved away from him. Brandon laughed hard as Ashur got to his feet and dusted himself off.
"So you kids do pay attention after all. I think we are about ready to study various traps and weapons for the rest of our training now while I get some rest. Break into my house and bring me the blankets I am sleeping with to prove your knowledge."
The kids groaned hearing they were going to be studying for most of the time, but felt happy to be given some kind of impossible task.
"Fine."

They walked off with sheets of paper already planning their break in and theft.

[929/3,239]

Ashur slept soundly without any idea that his blankets were stolen in the middle of the night from the kids he lead. However, what really left Ashur surprised was the note left on his desk in the middle of the night. Waking up from a cold breeze, he looked to see the window was left open and that there was a note on his desk.
"Those silly kids again, leaving a note."
He smiled with sleepy eyes and scanned the note up and down.
"Dear Ashur, tonight at 1 AM the fight will begin between our two squads. I know your location, be ready in the mountains at the location specified below. Don't come at all and die horribly."
Ashur started banging his desk laughing at the Chuunin's death threat. He was going to fight far greater people then this asshole and the guy still challenged him like this. Ashur grabbed his things and left Brandon home as he flew out the window. He had collected everything from the earlier fight and was fully prepared for the fight ahead. Flying to the little kid's houses, he picked them up and carried all three at once as they read the note.
"We fight right now kids. Five minutes till the fight begins and five minutes till we get there. Had you not left the window open... we might have all been killed in our sleep. Listen, we pick each one of them off one by one and keep stealth on our side. Don't kill anyone, only knock them out or have them become heavily injured. The genin are of equal caliber to you and the Chuunin is on a whole other level than me. I am certain any fight that happens with me in it will be won for how pathetic the other team is compared to me."
Ashur flew down into a clearing and dropped the three kids in their ninja jump suits. He did not draw his sword because he knew he wouldn't need it. Ashur had tried to teach the kids everything he could and he could only hope they would be smart enough to understand him. With the notes he had given them he gave off many hand signals he would use in this fight to tell them what to do next. The fight was down to a science to Ashur, he had no doubt he would lose. Spread out, four ninja jumped out with full armor and horrific weapons. Each one fifteen meters from one another with the same heights. Ashur cursed deeply knowing the rules had nothing against armor and weapons and he knew that three were probably using the transformation technique to maintain a good height with their leader. Ashur made the hand signals to the kids to stay together and rush the one to the right the minute they got the chance. Activating his dojutsu, he looked around before realizing that he could speedily hit every single one of these foes before they could react. Flying like a bullet train he went for the one on the left and threw the body into the others at a fantastic speed. He then realized that the one he threw was a clone and that the others seemed to react indifferently to the puff of smoke.
"They are all fakers, the real ones are going to get the jump on us from behind!"
Ashur speed back to the kids as the Chuunin jumped out weaving hand signs for the poison mist jutsu. Alerting them to run, he realized the kids weren't able to run fast enough. He made the signals for them to substitute out as the poison mist was exhaled. Over the battle field. Ashur quickly picked up all three kids and dropped them off into the center of the clearing as the poison mist stopped spreading out. The Chuunin, and the three Genin closed in on them at a fast speed. The Chuunin weaved hand signs as the genin pulled out swords and wore full body armor. Ashur cursed heavily as he whispered to the kids to wait till they all got close enough to attack. and how he wanted them to break the weak part of the armor connecting the body and head then bring them towards the Chuunin. The kids waited to a good distance and Ashur signaled them to move forward. The other Genin were so sure of themselves from their own armor that they underestimated the others. Ashur looked horrified and moved back from the Chuunin with tears in his eyes.
"Please don't hurt me. I was told this was a fight to victory not to the death."
He began to ball and move around as the hair was launched from the Chuunin's hair. The Genin moved into the fight thinking they had a powerful edge and the Genin quickly kicked and punched at the weak point of the armor and broke off the helmet to surprise the under-trained ninja. In the Genin's surprise, they were then kicked into the back of the head by the Genin and thrown over onto Ashur. Ashur smirked as the Chuunin watch himself murder his entire team as the Genin jumped away feeling just as smart. Needles pierced through the heads of the Genin to the death as their bodies protected Ashur. Ashur waited till the jutsu ended then flew up into the sky as the Genin continued to run away from the scene, all smirking. He had planned and signaled that he would blow up the entire area to the Genin. Soaking in the blood of the other team he looked with black and gold eyes from the sky as the Chuunin looked desperate to win.
"NO, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. WE HAD THE ADVANTAGE, WE HAD THE ADVANTAGE!!"
The Chuunin rushed to the three kids before Ashur could get in position. He hadn't expected this. He yelled at the three Genin quickly to turn around as he watched the Chuunin draw his sword to slice through them.
"TURN AROUND YOU IDIOTS!"
Ashur screamed this at the top of his lungs as the three kids turned around to see the Chuunin running at them. Acting quickly Ashur took out his sword from his gloves and threw it towards the back of the Chuunin.
"Taunt him!"
The kids looked at one another quickly before laughing for their lives. Kira spoke with a red face as she pounded the ground with perfect acting.
"You only know two jutsu!? What kind of Chuunin are you? I guess you sure as hell can be happy to know that even after cheating you can't win."
Another chimed in as the Chuunin's pride was now being attacked.
"What kind of loser can't perform a simple task anyway? I mean even if he does win he still cheated and only used two weak as shit jutsu!"
The Chuunin stopped before them with a sword drawn as Ashur's sword rocketed towards the back of the guy's neck. The Chuunin stopped to weave hand signs as he looked with cold blooded eyes. Tiger, Horse, Rabbit, Dog. He made his palms glow and the kid's knew it was chakra scalpel as said in the mission sheet. Trying to hide their hopeless looks, they looked at the Chuunin's eyes feeling the terror of the situation. The kids weaved dog boar and ram hand signs will hiding their hand signs under this clothes. Ashur considered their options and felt he knew what they had done. Suddenly the kids vanished before the Chuunin as the Chuunin took a few steps to the right to look around for the kids. The kids had use the transformation technique to become tiny enough to not be noticeable. Ashur smirked as the Chuunin turned around to see the sword slice through right by him.
"I assume you taught the kids some kind of jutsu in your spare time. Were those some kind of clones or did they just teleport?"
The Chuunin thought to himself for a moment before continuing on to take off his helmet.
"Remember me Ashur? I will make sure to break every bone in your perfect little body. I have became a demon of Kumogakure bent on killing you."
He pressed a button on the chest of his armor and suddenly Ashur plummeted to the ground without being able to move a single muscle. The Chuunin then turned around the as Genin undid the jutsu and slashed at their thighs in a very quick motion.
"I am not some kind of idiot, I could see you with my chakra vision. You kids won't be able to move a single muscle as you watch you leader get killed by my hand. You die tonight Shiroi trash!!"

Ashur looked on his arm to see a needle from the needle senbon had been covered in a venom. He was unable to move as he saw Hitai move towards him with two chakra scalpels. He had vaporized this guy's friend group in the mountains, he remembered this clearly. Ashur began to laugh as Hitai moved towards with a killing intent. The fight was over, it was all over and Ashur could smile for how perfect it all was. Hitai lost already from the same reason the Genin he lead had died.

[1,549/4,788]

5,000 already whoop whoop!

Hitai approached Ashur with five meter left before his hand was through Ashur's chest. The Chuunin could smile knowing he just avenged his friend's deaths from some kind of false god. He dismissed his chakra scapel as he grabbed Ashur by the shirt with the eyes of a killer piercing through. Ashur stared blankly at the Chuunin as he saw the Genin stabbing kunai into the ground then pulling it towards them to drag them across the ground. Kira held the sword in her mouth and could only bite down as hard as she could for her pain. The slow death of Hitai was approaching, some kind of divine judgment onto the demon. The genin also appeared to have their legs wrapped tightly in their clothes to prevent the blood loss from killing them. Ashur won, he really had won already. Hitai had lost and the fight was already over. The crazed demon looked into the angel's eyes as he spoke.
"You killed my friends in the mountains. I saw it as I was walking to help them out. You shot a big ball of feathers and just exploded everything."
Tears surfacing he looked with malice towards Ashur.
"You killed my everything. Those were the only friends I had left. I hear around the village you talk about yourself as some kind of angel but you are the sickest person in the village. You will never beat me Ashur. I will kill you in the most slow and painful way imaginable right now."
He pulled out a knife usually meant for skinning animals and got a crazed look in his eyes. Ashur chuckled slightly before speaking.
"You will give me the most painful death and I won't feel a single bit of pain thanks to you paralyzing my body. Your friends attacked me with a killer intent so I vaporized everything they were and did it with a smile on my face."
Hitai dropped Ashur and began to scream into the sky with madness all over his face. The Chuunin made contracts with demons to become this strong and it was all corrupting him. He wasn't the happy little Genin he used to be. Pressing a button on his armor, Hitai had Ashur slowly regain his control over his body as he held him up by the shirt once more.
"Fifteen minutes till you can move like you can naturally. I have fifteen minutes to torture you to the death and I will enjoy every second of it. YOU CAUSED THEIR DEATHS, YOU DID THIS! YOU ENJOY KILLING AND AS SUCH YOU DESERVE TO DIE."
He brought the skinning knife towards Ashur's face and smiled.
"I will break your beautiful face forever. You don't deserve to get everything you ever wanted. The Raikage won't care, he never does. HE NEVER DOES! I BECAME CHUUNIN BY KILLING PEOPLE WHO DESERED IT AND PRETENDED THEY WERE ALL YOU. THE RAIKAGE WAS HAPPY WITH ME AND YOU WERE JUST GIVEN THE FUCKING RANK!"
Ashur looked unsettled at Hitai to see just how far this kid dropped off the deep end. His soul was corrupted to the core. The rotten demon in front of him would make most people horrified, but Ashur didn't give off the slightest bit of satisfaction to Hitai. Even when Hitai cut his cheek slightly he didn't show any kind of fear or pain. He felt the stinging pain in his cheek, but he decided to stall for time.
"I still don't feel a thing Hitai, sadly your torture isn't going to work on me when you paralyze me like an inexperienced little academy student."
Ashur recognized this kid's reputation was his weakness and exploited it. He made sure to get rid of any satisfaction to stall for time until he could move his head enough. Kira was in position already with the sword and was ready to throw it right through the neck of Hitai. Waiting for a signal, her vision began to become distorted from the blood loss. The other two relaxed happily, knowing they just won the fight. Keeping kunai at the ready, they were ready for a plan B. Checkmate all around, it was only a matter of time till Ashur could move his neck out of the way in order to dodge the sword. When the moment was right, he would wink at Kira to give her the orders to act. The fight was done for the minute he left them alone with Ashur's sword. Hitai began to lose his mind as he saw Ashur didn't feel a thing.
"This can't be! The poison isn't supposed to last this long! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
He shook Ashur's body around as the boy acted like it was gelatin. Ashur felt strong enough to move around at this point, he was just acting now. He winked to Kira as Hitai began to feel desperate with the time running out for the poison. Kira threw the sword towards Hitai and sadly the Chuunin saw Ashur wink. He smiled and remembered Ashur's sword was still there. A stupid scheme in every way. Hitai laughed and pivoted to the side, but Ashur was ready. He pulled a kunai out from his glove and stabbed Hitai in the chest to stop his movements. The sword was thrown perfectly to pierce through the neck of Hitai were he would be instead of where he was. Ashur smirked as his sword traveled straight towards Hitai's neck.
"Fight's over Hitai. Check you poison, it's different from the one you had on your dresser. I gave the kids something to do and replaced your poison with a much lesser one. When you showered and then covered your hair in it for the fight, you were putting a poison four times weaker on. It was only a matter of time before you pressed the button on your suit of armor and caused the poison to spread dramatically. Cool effect of your armor, but I searched your place out when the lady at the front desk of the missions office told me who else took this mission. Your dead, checkmate."
The sword went through Hitai's neck as Ashur smiled and suddenly the ninja turned into a puff of smoke. Ashur cursed, realizing this was a clone all along. Hito screamed out to Ashur as soon as he realized where Hitai had went.
"Ashur, 7 o'clock."
Hitai charged at Ashur with two swords and full armor at the ready. Completely off guard, Ashur turned around fearfully to see Hitai was already closing in on him before he could react. Kanto suddenly jumped out from nowhere with Ashur's sword and held it out towards Hitai. Clenching his teeth, Kanto barely managed to stand. Kira and Hito yelled out as Hitai went right into the blade in Kanto's hand. Kanto smiled, knowing the fight was over. He had caused the victory for his team with Ashur's training. Kanto had paid attention and took more notes than the others and it had paid off.
"Kanto... your legs."
Looking down he saw the two blades from Hitai had sliced either side of his legs deeply. He clenches his teeth tighter as Hitai lost the light in his eyes before him. Kanto fell to the ground while pushing away the blade with his hands and grinding his teeth in pain.
"H-how... did I get beat by a little kid?"
Hitai said as he bled out on the ground. Kira and Hito watched the scene and realized they had worked as a perfect team.
"Ashur we did it! We worked perfectly as a team with your help!"
Ashur quickly treated their wounds with various medical supplies on Hitai and smiled like a proud father at Hito, Kira, and Kanto.
"Kanto you did so well back there, how exactly did you do that?"
 Kanto began to blush as he looked at the two others. He then cleared his throat before speaking out loud.
"Well when I saw Hitai run at us with his chakra scapel, Hito moved forward slightly to take a much deeper cut but leave the arc of the swing farther away from me to make my wound much lighter. Kira then was chosen from us to do this futile attack I knew wouldn't work out because I saw Hitai out in the forest like a complete idiot. Ashur you were right, dirty tricks were used in combat with ninja and I caught onto this fact very much so in your fight with Brandon. Knowing the entire thing was going to be futile, I moved out into the forest and wrapped my legs tightly in my ripped jacket. I then crawled through god knows what at full speed to get to the spot out in the bottom left of Ashur. Hitai, too caught up with Ashur, never noticed me ready to pounce in the forest. I then quickly jumped out when it was revealed to be a clone and traveled the shortest distance to the sword then in front of Ashur. Hitai, taking way too long in order to make sure the blade would slide slowly through your chest, was then stabbed like you could have done to Brandon in the fight from before. I paid attention to the momentum you talked about and used this dirty trick to go against his dirty trick. Him being stabbed in the stomach was probably the only reason I could truly move faster than him and go for the kill. Kira had no idea when she threw that sword that it would be so I could finish Hitai. It was a dirty trick like you taught us and it won the fight. I honestly had considered you to be poisoned though. In the end it was all because of those two fights you had with Brandon and the self confidence boost. Hitai died by my hand and our team was lead to victory through our teamwork and your hand signals Ashur, but I still question what kind of powers you possess."
Hito looked at Kanto with a smile and Kira's eyes were widened. Ashur smirked and ruffled Kanto's hair. They were all healed up and the area was wide open for him to show off his strongest jutsu. Hito and Kira began to speak with Kanto about his plan as Ashur felt very proud to turn this loser team into a team of cold blooded assassins. Sure he might have killed everyone on the other team, but it wasn't exactly by his hand. It was more of an accident if anything.
(Ashur you idiot, go ahead and just do your Kaboom attack. Knowing your divine energy is a cause of your clan's mastery and you being a clan head, you probably don't even need hand signs for it. Go ahead and go out with a bang you kamikaze Chuunin.)
Ashur smiled, hearing the Garuda speak. It was time to show the kids his true potential, but first he needed to give a heart warming speech.
"You kids were complete failures when we first met and now look at you. You did all the dirty work and won the fight! You went from hero to zero in just a few days and it makes me so proud as your temporary leader. I wish to show you my true power to remind you how you can't judge a book by it's cover and to show you my dirtiest trick. Someday you all will be stronger than that loser Hitai and you will fight for the good of the village. If any single one of you decides to go onto an evil path though... well just hope I don't find out. You all worked together so nice today and I am proud to see how far each of you have come. When I first became a Genin, I could hardly stop myself from being blown away in the wind and now look at me. I am someone who blows the wind! I am a champion, a divine savior, to make sure that evil can't live in this corrupt village. With this display of my power, I wish to inform all of you that you can become stronger everyday. You all can live to make the future better and grow to possess your own unique array of jutsu quite like myself. I hope to see all you once more someday when you have progressed to a new power. Someday, lets have a spar together and show me just how much stronger you have all become. Let me ask you a quick question before I continue, could a clan of bird people and feather jutsu ever become strong? Could feathers, the most harmless thing on the planet, strike fear into the hearts of my enemies?"
The kids laughed at Ashur thinking this was some kind of funny joke. Kira spoke first with a wide grin.
"Feathers could never be strong. I mean what are you going to do, drown them in your hair?! I see you can disperse outwards into thousands of the things, but imaging a single one of those actually causing harm is laughable at best."
Kira felt a bit shaky, feeling as if she was some kind of idiot for what he had said. Hito, seeing this, backed her up with his own views. Ashur tried to hid his views of how humorous the situation was as he watched it unfold. Hito spoke with the same tone and mood as Kira without a single bit of doubt.
"Feathers could be used defensively to bury enemies and supportively for evasion such as what you did. Using them offensively is like trying to use oxygen to kill people, it just doesn't work. You would have to be an idiot to believe in feathers as some kind of amazing attack."
It felt magical to Ashur. His release described his very existence, just under estimated. Feathers were his greatest power his true power. Feathers to most were weak and pushovers, but Ashur's feathers were strong. He made the weakest thing imaginable into a weapon of mass destruction with his clan's help. Looking at Kanto, he was ready to hear whatever this kid had to say. He, after all, was a Meijin so he had to understand at least at some point. Being limited to one element is some kind of silly joke to most, but he knew the Meijin clan was strong in their own way just like he was. Limitations may be large for some people, but who knows what kind of strength is possible with it. Kanto looked at the others before speaking his thoughts.
"I think feathers possess the possibility of being strong. If you were to take some kind of camera or even bomb and hide it inside of the feathers, it could be used as a sneak attack. Ashur, teaching us about sneak attacks so often probably would find a way to make them amazing. However, the idea is still way out there and it sounds like more trouble than it's worth in almost every single scenario. Imagine the amount of time it would take a fool to put a bomb on every single feather and once it is found that one feather has a bomb, the entire trick is ruined. I don't think that is could be useful for more than one use in a fight or even that. Not worth the time to me at least."
Ashur ruffled Kanto's hair realizing he had least started off with the right idea. He looked at the three with a blank expression as he looked off into the forest. Like Babe Ruth he pointed off into the distance and smirked. The three realized in this moment he was going to do something big. Cracking his knuckled and stretching out he got a wide, Ashur smirk all over his face. He was going to show off to them and destroy the entire forest if he had to. Ashur was going to show these kids what it really means to train your ass off for you entire life. He would look at them one last time to see their expressions before getting serious again.
(Garuda, give me strength.)
Ashur said to the Garuda inside of him as he stared intently at the forest. Feeling the power run through his Torikami, he got ready for the fight ahead. The Garuda released a great deal of divine energy through his body and Ashur felt it coursing through him. Muscles expanding and a gold aura from around him he was ready to release his energy in an attack.
(Go ahead and explode the entire forest, might as well.)
The kids looked in anticipation to see Ashur powered up for his attack, he wasn't going to become one with the White Garuda though.

The wind around Ashur began to sway as he mediated. He could feel every single feather in his hair and felt immensely ready to blow up the entire forest. Thinking about it just made him happy, a display of power to inspire the squad he lead to become greater than they have ever been before. Something as simple as his feathers empowered him to great extents and could pack enough power to destroy the entire landscape around him. Feeling the raw energy flow into every feather he had, he began the infusion of his chakra and began to speed up the growth of each feather he had. Slowly but surely he had released his feathers one by one to form a ball in front of him. His hair growing at a rapid rate and more and more feathers condensed into the ball before him. The feathers would glow with the infusion of each individual one as Kanto realized what Ashur was doing.
"You made it so each feather is infused with chakra infusion it seems... that's an incredible mastery of chakra infusion. You have to use weaponry to have so much skill with this. How long did it take you to feel out every feather to coat them Ashur?"
Ashur smiled as he formed the ball with precision. He was happy to see Kanto had figured it all out already and he hadn't even taken it to it's full power yet.
"You see Kanto, I first can make the feathers at a rapid rate from my torikami and then I may infuse it with my chakra. Each one of these feathers is infused with a certain amount of chakra I can control. Making them infused to begin with makes them sharp to the touch, but the fun part is over infusing them to make them very destructive. This is the power of my clan in the making and you get to witness why you can't judge a book by it's cover."
The glowing ball of feathers laid stretched out before him and then he smirked as he smacked the two meter glowing ball of mass killings with a heavy stroke of wind and shot out his creation before him. The ball was hurled at incredible speeds as Ashur watched it go flying off with all of his stored energy. His predetermined target was a tree very far away to make sure he wasn't going to blow up the others.
"It will approach maybe 10 meters away from us but it shall not harm us. Be prepared and you might want to grab onto something if you can't handle it."
The kids looked at Ashur tensed and confused. What kind of power does this ball of silly little feathers have? Off in the distance you could see the ball suddenly look as if it were bursting with energy. Ashur was channeling his energy in it even as it moved.
"Ashur what exactly happens when you over infuse it like this? I know infusing them a little seems to make them sharp, but does this just make them really sharp?"
Kanto answered his own question when he thought for a moment. Before he could tell the others it has more to it, the ball went right into a tree and completely exploded the entire forest faster than the kid's reaction time. Suddenly the forest was gone before them as the explosion raged on in front of them. Ashur grabbed them and held them in place with his necklace ready in case anything went wrong.
"Gotta love me feathers right? Wouldn't expect my 2 meter ball of feather to be an explosive, nuclear bomb would ya?"
Ashur smirked as the kids were speechless to see the forest being decimated in a fantastic explosion. Mission complete, the mission was finally complete. After the explosion ended Ashur took a quick photo of the kid's faces and gave a copy to each of them.
"Go to wherever they directed you to go next and tell them Ashur is the Angel of Kumogakure. Let this entire forest, or crater at this point, be an example to you for what happens if you ever will defect. I will hunt down anyone who tries to defect from this crap hole and leave them gone for good."
Hito spoke first after laughing with the others.
"What if someone was in that forest Ashur?"
Ashur smiled and acted like he thought of that. Deep down he knew he could have at least killed a person with the ecosystem being downright devastated. Maybe he was careless and arrogant as usual, but at least he taught three snot nosed brats how to fight. Realizing he hadn't responded yet, he spoke.
"Using my dojutsu, I scanned the forest to make sure that there wasn't a single person out there. Now enough with the questions, I am not perfect."
The kids laughed, enjoying their long night with Ashur. Walking sleeply and exhausted, the three turned in their missions and Ashur looked off at the full moon thinking about his life. In just two days he made an elite fighting force, who knows what he could make them as their squad leader. Knowing the idea was stupid, he could smirk with Brandon joining his side.
"How was the fight Ashur?"
He looked at Brandon with a bandage on his cheek and could only break out laughing at the moon. The entire fight was so lengthy and exhausting, the reward better be something amazing. The dark of night blocked out by the moon made it feel like just another day. Just another day in the life of the angel of Kumogakure. He looked at his friend and could only feel for the moment. Smirking from the corner of his mouth, he began.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect."
What would become of the three kids he wondered? What could become of his own kid? The feeling of responsibility felt strong on Ashur with everything around him. He had all his items collected as well.
