Welcome, Team 212

Failing in his attempt to grab the headband, and provided that he wasn't assaulted by the senbon, Okisho is thrown back towards his original position. His form was released too, seeing how it wasn't needed. The Sensei was quick, and strong too. Okisho felt that he wouldn't be much help with his current abilities. It was indeed his own doing for arriving here without being properly prepared. Nevertheless, He decided to drop back and follow the group's new plan. They would need one after Okisho witnessing the three copies of Sensei Onabi present. He was confused at first, as per the rules of engagement set forth in the beginning, but he supposed Sensei Onabi fell back on one of first rules they taught in the Shinobi academy. "A Ninja must see through deception I suppose...", he muttered under his breath.

He now stands two meters away from Tenshi on his left, while also wondering where Himari went. He stands idly by while waiting see what the game plan was. The clones of Sensei Onabi dispersed in different directions, with Okisho looking towards Tenshi. "Are you ok, Tenshi? And where is Himari?", he would be lying if Okisho didn't felt relieve to not get it as bad as Tenshi.

This is it!

The moment she's been waiting for! As the three senbon form flies toward Onabi's head and shoulders, Himari, in her polymorphed form still at this point in time, sees Onabi firmly grasp onto the transformed Okisho as his fingers curl behind his jaw and his other hand holds steadfast to his powerful tail. Thereafter, altogether using his extensive and large frame to shield himself against the incoming senbon.

As the senbon fly toward their intended targets now protected by the unwilling and restrained Okisho, as soon as they're within 1 meter from the duo, a puff of off-white smoke explodes in front of them. The other two senbon aiming at Onabi's head and right shoulder would dart through the brief smoke and would be blocked by Okisho's form.

However as the smoke disperses, the third senbon that was aiming for Onabi's left shoulder reveals an eager Himari who, still traveling at a speed of 45, attempts to side vault over Okisho's body and past Onabi enough so that she can try to reach and grab the knot that holds Onabi's headband to his right arm, pivot herself using the momentum of the vault in order to unfurl said knot, and take the headband for herself in rapid succession.

If the attempt succeeds, she will tuck and roll across the ground 10 meters away from their sensei before she summersaults backward onto her feet and her heels digging into the dirt until the forward movement from prior comes to a complete halt. She would then raise the headband high over her head triumphantly with both hands holding either end of its fabric.

"Got it!" She bellows toward the group with a dopey smile.

As Okisho bounced back next to him, Tenshi was glad to see that he was alright. He was already moving forward as his fellow Uchiha spoke to him. “You’re about to see where she is now!”

Tenshi wasted no time the moment Himari would release her transformation, Tenshi would use the distraction her smoke cloud made to put his hands together to make the seal of the Ram and casting the Clone Technique. Four copies of Tenshi appeared in a straight line on either side of him. Dashing forward in unison, the five of them all spoke at once with a mocking tone, “Already resorting to using Jutsu ay sensei?”

Tenshi would then attempt to surround Onabi and Himari with a speed of 45, each clone at a distance of 10 meters from his sensei. With the real version of him attempting to get directly behind Onabi, if successful, all five versions of the Uchiha would form the seals of the snake, ram and tiger in preparation. Only casting a great fireball jutsu if Himari was not in the line of sight and if she did not manage to grab the headband successfully. He would cast it directly at his sensei, the appearance would be that of five versions of Tenshi firing off the jutsu at the same time, the one directly behind Onabi being the only one capable of causing any damage.

If Himari was unsuccessful at grabbing the headband and Onabi instead fled as intended, Tenshi would instead attempt to cast the fireball jutsu at the location closest to where Onabi had cast his clone technique.

Tenshi stopped himself in his tracks. Their team leader, Onabi, seemed to have managed to disappear on the trio. Perhaps he had been called away, or perhaps even this was part of his test. Their investigation and tracking skills were being put to the test? Sighing, Tenshi looked at his two team mates and smiled sadly. ”Well it appears that out sensei has pulled a disappearing act on us. I don’t know about the two of you but I think it is time for some food. You are both more than welcome to join me.”

Waiting for a moment to see if either of the two Genin would go with him, Tenshi would eventually turn around and begin moving towards Ichiraku Ramen. He was tired and hungry, ramen would always help fix one of those things at least. Tenshi would also need to remember to track Onabi down to get his headband back…

Success!

She tucks and rolls across the ground 10 meters away and behind their sensei before she summersaults backward onto her feet and her heels digging into the dirt until the forward movement from prior comes to a complete halt. She would then raise the headband high over her head triumphantly with both hands holding either end of its fabric.

"Got it!" She bellows toward the group with a dopey smile.

POOF!

A puff of off-white smoke disperses and unexpectedly fills her battered-for-breath lungs, causing her to cough and waft it away. After the initial confusion settles, she looks down at her hands and finds… nothing? But, just seconds ago she held possibly the most prized item for their training exercise and she has absolutely nothing in her hands to show for it? Then lifts her head to see where Onabi-sensei was prior and even he can't be found within the squad's immediate vicinity. And what's more, she and everyone else's headbands are still missing and off in who-knows-where right now!

"Eh? Eh?"

She looks all around her and, even despite her inability to use her dōjutsu, there isn't a trace of where their teacher could be. Her train of thought is disrupted by Tenshi's remark and subsequent suggestion which, as though on cue, a faint growl and rumble echoes as she pats her belly.

"Uh, yeah, that'd sound really good about now! I hadn't gotten a chance to eat since this morning. Oh!" She clasps her hands together apologetically. "And it'll be my treat for making you all wait!" After all, it was the least she could and the most courteous gesture she could think of at the moment to absolve what little guilt remained from their first meetup.

Dusting off the dirt and grass that caked her uniform, she then strides beside Tenshi, beckoning Okisho with an overhead gesture, down to the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Wherever Onabi-sensei was, she feels confident the trio could coordinate — or at least one of them — to devise a plan to get them back. That is, whenever he decides to apparate again. Probably at an inconvenient time. When she arrives, she waits for her companions to make their orders first before finalizing her own. By then, she orders her favorite bowl, the Geki Kara Tsukemen, another bowl of rice, and dumplings, and delights herself both in good company and the company of delicious food. It wasn't until she was halfway through her meal did she realize how hungry she'd gotten and it was only the beginning of the day. Hopefully, should her mother's schedule allow, she could receive some practice or advice on activating her Byakugan properly. Okisho and Tenshi haven't known about it yet, but it'd only be a matter of time before it creeps into casual or passing conversation.

She also wonders how she'll explain the missing headband around her waist to her mother, though.

With their sensei no gone, and without a trace, time passed as the three were now left alone to stew in their confusion. Where did the Hyuuga go, he wondered? All he could think about was his headband, he worked too hard for it to just simply give up on it. It was more than just a piece of cloth and metal, it was a symbol, an icon that he practically worshiped like all the other villagers when seeking help and justice. With the others now gone, he was the only one to not retreat. "No...", he said with a cold tone. He clenches his fists and decides to press on into the forest where he last saw his sensei. He was going to get his headband back, and nothing was going to get in his way.

Forming the ram hand sign with his hands, he pushes forwards at breakneck speed. He disappears into the green forest in search of his sensei. He knew not if this was a test or not, but sooner or later he would catch up with him if he was still in the village.
