| *I was too tired to think. Not that it made much of a difference. If I had time or energy to think, it would mostly be about why my body was still going. Surely it had never been able to put up with this kind of punishment before. But somehow I was still moving. It was now rhythmic, like my body was tuned into the movement and I was just following along for the ride.* *The sudden stop caught me off balance. Since I wasn't really paying attention or driving. By the time I managed to get the message through to my body that we needed to stop, it was a little too late. I stopped mid-air rather than safely on a branch.* *Instead of leaping lithely to the next branch in line like my body had planned on doing. I instead lost momentum and ended up hitting it with my legs, just above the knees. Causing me to be spun forward and sent flying towards the ground with a small squeal.* |

| *Kensei had moderately paced himself to avoid exhaustion, but it was to little use against this kind of abuse. After the 7th hour he was ready to collapse, and was tempted to fake a heart attack to get a few minutes of shuteye on the grass. When Katsu suddenly stopped, and the two other muppets suddenly crashing and acting like amateurs, he leapt ahead and purposedly missed the branch he was about to land on. He taps his hands on the branch as he passes just barely under it, and slows down subsequently without a sound a few seconds later. Having attached chakra strings to the branch, he lowered himself to the ground silent as the night* *As he spun around to prepare for the landing he noticed Chii spinning rapidly, heading straight for him at alarming speed* Kensei: *Whisper* Oh.. crap..! O.O' *There was a loud thud, and a "Oof", before the two of them were sent crashing into the nearby shrubbery. Apart from burnmarks from skidding across the ground, the shrub provided a soft and relatively silent landing for them both. Kensei was the first to come crawling out of the shrub, a few meters from Katsu* Kensei: *Strained whisper* Dammit! That hurt! You alright missy? *He was referring to Chii, worried that her fall mightve been harder then his own* (Im SO sorry for vanishing -.-' it was inevitable, and i tried to post earlyer but it simply couldnt be done x) Btw shadow, hope you're fine with the current events ^^ If not, ill be happy to edit) |

| -Katsus eyes just widened more and more at the constant display of failure to obey her command to keep silent, she looked back towards the forward and back again when the two last ones came crashing down into the ground- Baka..! -She rasped at them before looking back, her head fully focused on the surroundings. There was a long moment of uncomfortable silence until slowly could feel it to. There was a heavy presence slowly pressing down at them, the presence of danger- Its too late... They've heard us. -She turned back towards the genin, her face was wearing a mask of calm but it was obvious that a sea of emotions was rolling beneath, a major factor was probably anger towards them- Listen, we've been spotten by an enemy scouting party, it seems we have passed a border already.. -She turned back for a moment as if she wanted to confirm something before quickly turning back- We are ether in the land of grass or the land of rain, there is no war at the moment so normaly we could just surrender and hope to get an escort back across the border, maybe we could even get away with a quick excuse but.. The strain over the past years have left villages nervous, I am not sure how they would react anymore, furthermore, if we are stopped here the mission will be a failure. -She opened her bag and removed a scroll which she subsquently opened so that the genins could not see what was written on it. She formed a seal and there was a small poof but nothing appeared. Katsu seemed satisfied so she stuffed it away and looked back at her genins- The reason why we have not run yet, is because they have already surrounded us, and if they are capable of that, then they are too many for us to handle.. Listen, do not panic no matter what happens, i know your tired but you will have to extert yourself a little more. -She opened a pocket in her cargo pants and threw a small leather strap to them, the strap had a number of brown soldier pills attached to it- If you feel like collapsing.. -She added informatly- We are going to fight, then when there is an opening we will escape, i have a plan but there is no reason for you to get involved, just simply survive okay? Ill get us out of here. -There was a crash somewhere behind them and the noise of someone cursing quickly followed- They are coming, be ready! Hibunshin-no-jutsu! -Katsu spinning a few quick seals resulted in flash of light that blinded them for a moment, when they managed to open there eyes, Katsu was gone but instead six clones, true copies of Katsu, was standing all around them in a protective circle- |

| Seito did not hesitate to grab one of the pills from the strap as he knew very well that his body could no longer endure any hardships. With a firm crunch and scrunched face, he swallowed. Seconds after he felt his body revitalized. Strength coming back to him. Even the hunger was slightly tamed for now. He signaled for his comrades to follow suit as Katsu strung together a pair of seals that created a circle of her clones protecting them. He turned his back pressing up against Kensei's and Chii's while drawing a kunai from his pants pocket with his left hand. His hand trembled slightly as he began to realize the situation he was in. His teammates could feel his shoulder muscles begin to tense up as he winked at them stricking a forced yet nervous smile. |

| "Fine. I'm Fine." *I wave off Kensei like he was an annoyance, he sort of was but at least his heart was in the right place this time. So I couldn't get too irritated with him, though it was still embarrassing enough without his questions about my well being. That just drew attention to my ineptitude. But I had a nagging feeling that nobody was really all that concerned about me falling out of the tree right now, noticing Ketsu looking jumpy and panicking ever so slightly.* *Solider pills were something I usually despised. But at this point, my mind had no say in the matter. My body overruled it. Forcing me to take one of the pills to try and breath some life back into me. It seemed to work, though I tried not to enjoy it. That would make me feel guilty later.* *I reached into my bag and grabbed a large chunk of paper. The 'Just simply survive' wasn't doing much for my sense of well being. Back to back wasn't my preferred fighting style. Especially not with these two at my back. I probably would have preferred being surrounded. At least then I had somewhere to run.* |

| Kensei: Soldier pills! Itadakimasu! *Kensei wolfed his pill down with a crack, cleaving the pill in half with his teeth before swallowing it. Kensei had no issues with soldier pills, and had occiasionally agreed to using them before when the situation required it. He did indeed have a few on his person, but they were rather "special" and best saved for desperate times* *After being revitalized by the pill, feeling a surge of his chakra returning, he follows Seito's lead and takes position. Kenseis hends were always held high, like a puppeteer. The prospect of "real" battle envigorated him. Sure he was scared, probably shaking like a leaf, but the thought of combat actually excited him* Kensei: Someone has come for a private show? I'll be happy to oblige~ *His tone of voice turned from careless to slightly evil at the end of the sentence. He didnt intend on it sounding that way, but he shrugged it off as "the thrist for battle".* *Kensei had a large amount of risk running with this encounter. He had hidden parts of his abilities, if not all, from his teammates. He asked himself how much he would be forced to reveal, and what he could salvage from an eventual victim. He remained in the back-to-back position still, nervous about what would come at them through the woods. In addition, he was also slightly worried about his friends well-being* |

-There was a moment of heartbreaking silence as they stood there back to back, the Katsu clones were unmoving, etch one focused at there own flank, they stood there for a while until the silence was suddenly raptured by a terrible male death scream which sent birds flying, leaving there perching spots in the trees for the softy of open air. The scream sent it all off, two figures bursted forth from the undergrowth, sending off shurikens at them at a blazing speed, however two Katsu clones rushed forth and blocked all but one of the Shurikens which continued its trail towards motion. The two enemy nins were wearing ninja raincoats so there was no visible sign of there orgin. The ones that had thrown the shurikens clashed with the two katsu clones in a fury of martial figthing. The moment they clashed another pair of ninjas repeated the action from the right flanks, and were blocked all the same by the two other Katsus, then a set of three came rushing from the remaining flank and the last two Katsus intercepted. Then as if planned, four nins drops in from above, landing in a circle around the nins. Ninja 1: -Rushes forward, clutching a kunai in etch hand as he moves in on motion, his right arm hurling forward to stab him in the chest- Ninja 2: - Draws a katana and rushes forward, raising his sword high as he goes for a downawards cut at Chii- Ninja 3: -Wielding a iron staff the enemy nin charges at Kensei with furious roar, his staff swinging above his head before being stabbed forward, hoping to pummel Kensei in the chest- Ninja 4: -The fourth nin stands just off to Chiis right and is the only girl amongst them, she is not joining the others in the melee and are instead weaving seals, preparing for a jutsu- -By the looks of it, these were Genins like themselves, but they were all obviously more experienced, the look in there eyes showed that they had no problems with taking a life- Distant Shouting Person: Stop here! Don't let it go-GAAAAA*Sound muffled out by the roaring boulder of a sudden explosion* - In the distance, The thunder of a raging storm on the move could be heard ever so slightly, Katsu was still out there, but for now, they were all alone - |

| Everything happened in an instant. Before he knew it, a nin was rushing forward to attack. Instinctively Seito flinched by raising his left hand by his chest as the kunais clashed in a sharp echoe of steel. The encounter forced him to slide his body away and break free of the circle with his team mates. Seito was pinned to the floor as the kunais continue to press upon each other until the nin swang down with his free hand holding another kunai. Seito: !! The clean sweep of flesh boomed with the roar of thunder. Seito's right hand was dripping with blood as he stopped the kunai and the nin's hand at his palm, opposite side of his thumb. He shuffled his left knee into the nin's stomach then rolled with his weight to the left as Seito held the upper position, jumping back to stand on his feet as the nin stared him dead in the eye. "Bad choice!" He combined the hand seals of the snake and rat in sequence as he shouted out, "Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu". To the nin's eyes, Seito seemed to have vanished into thin air as an imaginary circle of leaves spins around and envelops the nin, falling away shortly after. After the leaves fall, the nin (as everyone not in the genjutsu would perceive him/in real time) falls to his knees apparently shaken with fear. Seconds later, he begins to scream and shake with increased intensity, overwhelmed with fear. Nin: "S-stop....STOP IT! GET AWAY!" Slowly Seito walked up to the nin on the floor as a kunai twirled in his left hand. "You should have been more aggressive, but you've payed the price. Now, welcome to your worst nightmare!" Nin: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh----!!" The sound of steel striking the flesh echoed by another round of thunder as a splash of blood burst from the nin's neck at the adam's apple. In Seito's eyes was the look of a demon. (Not sure if I went a little extreme here. Any suggestions? I can edit.) |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| (I found it awesome, going with the same style myself) *Keeping a keen eye on the staff, Kensei manages to angle his body so that the end of the pole barely glances his chest before pummeling into the ground. Spinning in place, he taps the staff lightly before sending his palm crashing into the enemy nins jaw* Kensei: Where did that Katsu go!? *Flicking the fingers on his left hand, the chakra strings he attached to the staff earlyer sends it spinning into his hand. With a audibly loud "Whack", Kensei strikes the slightly airborne nin with the intention of pummeling him into the ground. Surprisingly, the enemy nin catches the staff before the strike lands. Having recovered from the earlyer strike, he quickly disarms the surprised Kensei and launches a counter-swing in a wide arc to Kenseis right* Kensei: Whoa! *Just an inch from Kenseis head, the staff stops midair* Kensei: Have you never fought a puppeteer before, huh? *Still maintaining control of the staff, Kensei spins under the halted strike and smashes a Kunai into the enemy nins chest.* Kensei: Rule no.1: Never take your eyes off my strings, or you'll miss the show! *He yanks the kunai back out as the nin falls to the ground. At that time, Kensei hears another nin scream for his life, and sees Seito execute his enemy. A cold shiver goes down his spine at the vicousness, but he still manages to spawn quite a bit of respect for his teammates strength* |

| *I didn't have time to watch Seitou or Kensei fighting. As soon as I spotted the Katana wielding maniac heading for me I forgot about everything else. Sharp objects didn't scare me themselves, I quite liked sharp objects. The problem was that this one was trying to invade my spleen and I didn't like anything being in there, apart from my spleen. Especially not a Katana blade. That definitely was not supposed to be in a spleen, or at least my spleen. I would be fine if it was in his, but I didn't see that happening any time soon. So I had to resort to stopping the Katana before it reached me.* *I drew out a handful of paper and threw them into the air in front of me. No time for hand seals, not if I wanted to keep that Katana out of me. I relied on my Kekkei Genaki to get me out of this situation. The paper I had thrown had all been inscribed with living seals, my Paper Field variety. Not waiting around to find out what he would do, in case I messed up and got stabbed I ran off to the right. Knowing I could activate the seals by feel alone.* *He sliced into the paper and ran through it. As the katana cut into the paper I activated one of the seals it was slicing through. Turning it from tempered steel to harmless paper, only this paper was inscribed with my own personal exploding tags. They were the kind that exploded when I activated them, my own living seal concoctions and I was about to until I hit something. I went straight into the ground, taking whatever I hit along for the ride and using it as a landing cushion. It was warm and squishy. I hypothesized that it was highly likely human. But I left it at that and concentrated on exploding the tags. Fear for my spleen outweighed my other problems for the current time.* *The paper katana exploded with a bone-shattering shockwave. The top half of the nin’s body disappearing, and then re-appearing over the surrounding area and my teammates. The bottom half so heavily damaged that it barely looked human. I drew my attention back to what I had run into. The breasts strongly hinting towards female and the elbow to my face back a few points towards male.* |

| (HUGE POST AHOY!) Get off me!!! -Screamed the now paniced girl, with a desperate push she rolled Chii away and fled into the forest, looking only for a moment back at her dead brutalized comrades- ! Fiiiiiiizle ! -Something had happened, the clones suddenly vanished in six small flashes of light and the surrounding Nins streamed in with a victorious hoot, when they saw the dead comrades there faces contorted in anger, any idea of surrender flew out the window with the scream of one of the new female assailants which came into the clearing with another two nins - Hazuki.. Marco.. Tiere.. - Mumbled one of the Nins closest to the three Konoha genins as he watched the executed ninjas with bulging eyes - You bastards.. - The ninjas eyes grew dark and full of murder as they surrounded the Genins. With the three new arrivals there was ten of them in total, and many of them looked to be Chunins not simple genins, instead of drawing weapons they etch formed a seal, there eyes full of anger and lust for bloody revenge. There was no escape, no chance of fighting, and the sounds of fighting in the distants had been stilled, had Katsu died? or fled? Officers leaving genins to die to preserve themselves was not unheard of, even in the Konoha military. - Random Nin: Don't worry... It'l be fast.. Randon Nin: Though, there won't be a single thing left of you. Random Nin: No corpses will be left for your parents.. Random Nin: We will wipe you from history! All Ten Nins: *started inhaling air* Katon: Combined Furna-! New Commanding Voice: That will be enough! -The Nins stopped and turned towards the voice. From the undergrowth emerged a grey haired ninja, he was dressed as a jounin, his face stern and withered - Random Nin: Tagara-Sensei..! These kids murdered Team 3! They killed Hazuki, Marco and Tiere! - The old mans eyes widened as he noticed the dead nins on the ground, his face too, contorted in anger and murder seemed to fill his eyes, however luck was with the Genins, for this old man held order above everything - Tagara: Where is the last member..? Random Nin: I don't know, I think she ran off. Tagara: Hmm.. -The old man closed his eyes, apperently to think, when he eventualy opened them again he started barking commands- Tagara: Bind them, we need to get back to the village. Random Nin: But.. They..! Tagara: Will be served justice! After they have been properly probed for information, now bind them! But don't bother searching them for weapons, there is no time, we need to go, now! Random Nin: Ha.. Hai! Understood! But Sir, what about the woman? Tagara: The leader? She fled, though I did get a good cut in, so the trackers should not fail in there duty. -Only then did they notice that Tagara was holding a katana, its edge was dripping with blood- Tagara: Now take them! -They stood no chance and were forced to drop there weapons. There hands were bound and there eyes covered with there own headbands.- Tagara: Someone take the corpses and bring them back to the village as quickly as you can, I need six volunteers to scout the border for any other interlopers and stay here for the night. -Six men quickly ran up and reported before disappearing after another bark of command. Three others took the corpses on there shoulders and dissapeared too, then they were left with the commander and two remaining nins.- Tagara: Shimu, go and find the girl, she can not have run far. Shimu: But.. The pri- Tagara: They are only genins, I am not that old. Go! Shimu: Hai! *Vanished in a poof of smoke* - The Remaining Genin and the Jounin escorted the three out of the clearing and onto a path, here they could see the ravage of battle that probably Katsu was behind. Everywhere there was sliced wood and marks of small explosions, aswell as a large crater that was still smoking - Escort Genin: ...What happened here? Tagara: The leader was a nuisance, she fought like a tiger but once she got wounded she fled like a deer, coward! The rest are attempting to hunt her down as we speak. -The old man spat on the ground as they continued down the path - ---------- Time Has past ------------- - 30 minutes later - Escort Genin: Ahh.. I did't know them very well, but I heard they were just about to recive a promotion, such a shame.. Heard they were all recovering from that long sickness the suffered in tea.. But still they wanted to complete one more missions as genins, why must fate be so cruel.. -The Escort Nin had been jabbering about the now dead Genins for twenty minutes now, at-least it was better than the wordless Jounin which they had not heard from since that last comment thirty minutes ago - Tagara: I guess this is far enough.. Escort Nin: Huh..? We taking a break? Tagara: No.. Well, you are. Escort Nin: Huh? Wait, who ar-Ughh! Tagara: Oyasumi. - There was a sound of a body being moved and then one by one there binds were cut and there headbands pulled back, enabling them to see again. - Morphing Voice: Yareyare.. - They were met with the sight of a bruised Katsu, her hair was black with soot and her cloths were torn, it was obvious that the battle had taken a toll on her. They were out of the forest, well not out, but they were standing in a open field surrounded by forest - Katsu: See what you got us into? If I hadn't found that Jounin so soon you would all be dead now.. Oh well, we need to continue before they realize what is going on.. -She turned and started walking but she suddenly stopped in her tracks as she almost collapesed- Katsu: Kyahh..! -She fell down on her knees, clutching something hidden under her trenchcoat. It seemed that she had been inflicted more than bruises in the last battle, and it hit them, that all of this was due to there own incompetence. Katsu tried to raise up but her limit had been reached and she quickly fell back down on her knees - Katsu: Dammit.. -She mumbled bitterly- (Huge post done, huge post is alot of information, and often yes, there is little you can do in terms of action when I take controll like this, but you can still flesh it out where I can not, like your reactions to certain things, both in physical and voiced actions, aswell as what goes on in your mind. Please try to have something on everything, does not have to be much, but you need to "be there". GL) |

| Seito was too busy satiating his thirst for blood lust to become aware of the events unfolding around him. Ten nin total had surrounded the team, and by the looks of it, Katsu was no where to be seen. If it wasn't for the commanding voice of the elder nin, Seito would have likely remained in that state of trance until he was eventually murdered. New Commanding Voice: That will be enough! His eyes snapped back to reality, a bloody, painful reality as he gazed upon the corpse laying before him. However, his fall back to reality was cut shorts as a group of hands immediately grabbed hold of his arms. Forced to drop the lone kunai at his disposal, Seito dropped the weapon as he continued to be baffled by the situation. His hands were now tied to behind his back while his headband covered his eyes. Panic began to consume him as he began to fear the worst. "Good god, what have I done!? What are they going to do to us? We are going to die aren't we? Katsu-sensei.....where is Katsu-sensei? Why? WHY!!!! After the binding, the team was escorted through an unknown path deeper into the woods. Thing only thing audible being the voice of an elder nin and a younger nin. Escort Genin: ...What happened here? Tagara: The leader was a nuisance, she fought like a tiger but once she got wounded she fled like a deer, coward! The rest are attempting to hunt her down as we speak. "Katsu-sensei....it couldn't be...she must be alive!" - 30 minutes later - The never ending journey continued once more as the team walked for what seemed to be additional hours. Seito felt his feet grow heavy and he was light headed, a sure sign the effects of the soldier pill was wearing off. He began stumbling and was forced back to stand up straight as he was forced to hear the jabbering of the younger nin about the dead corpses. "So Chii, and Kensei....they must have eliminated some of the nin too. I wonder if they are nearby. He began to wonder, since this whole time his footsteps was accompanied by several others, yet he could only discern two people by the their voices. Seconds later there was a sound of a body being moved and then one by one there binds were cut and there headbands pulled back, enabling them to see again. "What the!?" When Seito came to, Chii and Kensei were standing close by, and what appeared to be an older nin soon transformed back into Katsu. "Sensei! Chii!, Kensei! I'm so glad!" He smiled jubilantly, probably showcasing the most genuine smile he had ever to the team since they formed. The smile was cut short however, when Katsu scolded them for taking their enemies a little too seriously. Yet Seito felt a sense of relief from hearing her words, even if it was to punish them. The he realized there was something funny about Katsu that he could not distinguish, he speech became less coherent until she screamed in pain. "Sensei!" Seito ran up to her sitting seiza style next to her. She seemed to be clutching onto something under her trench coat, but he did not want to touch her inappropriately. She tried to get up but her efforts were futile as she cursed at her own misfortune. "Please don't overexert yourself Sensei." He raised his left hand into her left side under her armpit. "Hey guys, give me a hand," he asked of his team mates. "Let's find some cover for now into the woods." |

| *Kenseis hands were already dancing by the time one of the enemies had managed to call him and his friends "bastards". A scroll flew off of its strap on one of Kenseis numerous belts, unfurling while snaking through the air* Kensei: Strength, Display, Magnificence, battle-spirit! *Reciting the mantra of his Father, he was just about to summon a hail of senbon needles from the airborne scroll when another commanding voice boomed in the woods* Voice: That will be enough! *Kensei froze in tune with the enemies, not even noticing the scroll falls harmlessly to the ground as he stares in the direction of the newcomer. Taking a few moments to get his bearings, and seeing their overall situation, he did not object much when their weapons were seized* Kensei: Such a disgrace~ *He said as his magic-producing hands were bound like caged beasts. Suddenly, he yerks backwards to smash the back of his head into one of the random nins noses. The fragile bone were crushed in the impact, resulting in the nin staggering back while wimpering. The sentiment was returned tho, as Kensei had a mind-blowing strike to the back of his head. The culprit, a backwards-turned katana, had been timely delivered to Kensei's head by one of the nearby nins. He cursed, and spat on the ground where Kensei had curled up in pain. After being risen to his feet, Kensei held his tongue and silently listened while they were taken away* --Time Passes-- *He listened in on the conversation as much as he could bear. The talk about the dead genins sickened him. At several times had he "mentally" rolled his eyes and said to himself "Geez! They are soldiers, they signed up to die, and they died in splendor~". Tho he knew better then to push his own sense of glory upon others, atleast in this situation. His attention were quickly grabbed when one of the nin fell silent. For a moment he was alarmed, and nearly jumped in fright as his hood was removed only to reveal Katsu-sensei* Kensei: Wha, you! You brilliant woman!! *At that time, he heard Seito call for him. He turned towards his voice, beaming with joy to see them all alive and well. Apart from Katsu ofcourse, who was more... "Semi-well". He stood in a daze for a moment, only partially hearing Katsus reprimand. When she turned however, a bad feeling came over Kensei. Shortly after, he heard Seito's voice call out as Katsu collapsed to her knees. Following Seito, he ran up where Katsu had collapsed and assisted Seito in getting her on her feet* Kensei: Good plan, i like it, lets get outa here. Like, now yah!? |

| "Sorry!" I called out to the girl as she ran away. I didn't like being close to people either, so I knew how she felt. "Excuse me... but-" I was going to continue on with 'they did sort of try to kill us' but soon thought better of it. The look in their eyes told me they wouldn't care and that they also wanted to kill us. Katsu had said try to create an opening and then run, but there wasn't anywhere to run now. Out numbered so greatly fighting didn't seem like a smart move either, but it might be the only thing we could do. As they started a combined attack I inhaled sharply and prepared for a last stand. If I survived, maybe there would be a chance to escape. I stopped at the same time they did, the voice... it felt powerful. I sat and listened, wondering if it was a trick to catch us off guard, but it seemed genuine. They followed the leaders orders completely and he wanted us alive. I wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing... I didn't have any weapons to drop but I tired to keep hold of some paper, stashing it inside my shirt. In case I could make use of it later. (I like it how you mentioned 'they could see' after having us blindfolded by our own headbands ;) I heard them mention Katsu, she ran away...? That didn't seem like my first impression of her. She may have been an airhead, but she didn't seem like a coward to me. ---------- Time has passed ------------- - 30 minutes later - Oh god I wish they would just shut up already. It's making me feel even worse now. I just reacted based on preservation for my own life, why do they have to make me go and feel all guilty about it!?! The headband being removed made my body tense, if I was going to fight back, now would be the time. But the sight of Katsu soon relieved me of that duty. It was soon replaced with concern, Katsu looked worse than us, much worse. When she fell to her knees I seriously began to worry. "Are you alright? Do you have any medical suppplies on you? SEITOU! KENSEI! Help her up!" I yelled at the two of them while frantically searching through my bag for anything useful. |

| -The three genins carried Katsu over to the shade of the treeline where they placed her against the trunk of a tree. She was breathing heavily but she seemed to be collecting herself- Thanks.. Let me go, its ok. -She grabbed her bag and fished up a roll of bandage which she rolled out with both arms, a stretching manouver that sent another sheer of pain through her body. Without caring for the fact that there were two boys there, the young girl removed pushed up her shirt all the way to the edge of her breasts. The wound did not look too gruesome but it did't look good, that was for certain, it looked like something had caught her in the side but not had the speed or penetration to actualy get trough the muscles, yet it looked very painful and was bleeding quite badly, it was a wonder that shed been able to go so far without caring for such a wound. Katsu changed her mind and layed the bandage on the ground and fished up a small green bottle from her bag which she opened with care, she was about to pour some of it over the wound but she hesitated and took some time to crack a small branch of the tree she was leaning on, she snapped the branch in two and placed the smallest but thickest part in her mouth. Mmmmmmmmgh...! She bit hard down on the branch as she let a single drop of blue liquid fall from the green bottle, her face contorted in pain as it made contact with the open wound and a intense noise from her mouth showed the purpose of the branch. Without removing the branch she quickly pulled up the bandage and rolled it around her waist until there was a thick layer of white covering the wound. It.. Should be okay now.. Just give me some time and ill be able to move again. Katsu looked at them and smiled, an obviously forced act as she old them something a bit shocking. It must suck huh? Having someone that could just as easily have been your squadmate be your leader. |

| After settling Katsu down, Seito watched momentarily as she tended to her wounds. He turned around quickly as she lifted her shirt of course. He was also quite amazed at her ability to care for herself despite the physical indication that she was in much pain. After hearing her grunt Seito turned back around to face her alongside his teammates as she stated that their situation was not favorable, but he disagreed. "No, it doesn't suck," he replied. With a light hearted smile he continued, "Sensei, what you did just now proves that you are looking out for our best interests. You put your life on the line for our safety and I could not be anymore thankful for that. Thank you." He realized that there was a sense of humilitty in her words, and for once he saw a more serious side of Katsu. |

| *Kensei did a comical 180 when katsu lifted up her shirt, looking sort of annoyed that these things kept happening out of the blue. He was just about to wonder how long she was going to take, when he heard her grunt. He turned around, and had to admire her "guts"* *Kensei didnt really need to reply, Seito had already said what he was thinking. He sat down, taking the rare chance to catch a few seconds of rest. Bringing out some of the rations he brought from home, he rushed a short snack before they had to move again. As he did, he came to realize how rugged and dirty his clothes had become in this short while. He sighed, having had his magnificent visage dirtied like this* |

| I watched Katsu treat herself, feeling helpless as I did. Noticing the other two turn away when she lifted her shirt up, children. They were still so innocent, that might need to be fixed... I wondered what to do to fill in the time. I couldn't make myself useful in treating Katsu. Maybe I could help her recovery though. Katsu: It.. Should be okay now.. Just give me some time and ill be able to move again. Poor thing... I felt sad that all this had happened because I fell out of the trees. Well, all of us did, but I was still to blame. I decided to try cheering her up. "Well, to be honest it does. But you didn't get caught, so no being humble about things. You're not on the same level as us so don't try to bring yourself down here." |

| Hehehe.. She laughed painfully before replying to Saito and Chi while wearing an honest smile. Its not like I did it to protect you, well maybe a bit but your all essential for the mission, why do you think you got picked for this? and why your lead by an actor? I guess this is as a good a time as ever to explain the mission.. She looked towards Kensai before contiuning. Kensai, your famous for your little shows, they may be puppets but to control puppets your in a way, multiple actors instead of one, a valuable ability. Chii, she said as she turned towards the girl. You've got a way of acting that fits the role needed for an important part of the mission. Seito, she said as she turned to the boy. Your Genjutsu was picked out as the most fitting and viable ability to take with us. The Truth is I am not really your squad captain, I am just the leader for this particular operation.. She bent her body over to her bag, an action that almost made her shiver with pain, it seemed like the wound was still hurting badly. She withdrew a roll which she let slip, rolling the cloth out on the ground before the three. Ive been acting since I was four, in a special root school for anbu, its not really classified but most people don't know about it. I do plays too, but what I am trained for is to go, undercover. She said as she planted her finger on the scroll. The moment her finger touched the paper, text and drawings started to form until they looked at what was something like a blueprint. I am not only good with transformations and simple acting, but I also know how to change my chakra signature to that of the person I am impersonating, an ability that makes it impossible to see the difference between the real and the fake as long as I don't mess up. She started glancing to both the directions she could actually get some line of sight as if she was worried someone was listing. You were all three picked for your abilities and characteristics, we would have sent older more experienced people but nobody currently available fitted the requirements. not to scare you, but we are going to attempt to infiltrate the most secretive orginization currently known to the Konoha inteligence, its so hidden in darkness that we barly know if it really exists at all, as noone has ever confirmed it. The thing is, that only two days ago, four nins tried breaking into the sealed forbidden scroll chamber of Konoha. We successfully captured them and extracted enough information to pin-point the location where they were going to deliver the scrolls aswell as getting a good understanding of the nins personalities. Unfortantly before we could get any real information about the Organization itself, something kicked in and they all died. Our guess however, is that the Organization does not know about this yet, and by going on that guess the higher ups are sending in a group to infiltrate this base of theirs and try to find out as much as possible. Our Task is as following, as said by the one that gave me the order. "Infiltrate the Orginization and attempt to extract as much information as possible, and if the chance presents itself, sabotage or assassinate leaders of the group. No time limit" This means, basically, that they don't want us to think about our homes. We are going to become different people and infiltrate the Organization for an unknown period of time, if this means actually working for them in order to rise in ranks then so be it. She looked them deep into their eyes and confessed to something. I must admit, I am quite scared. Ive done similar things but this is big. Not to scare you too, but the people we are about to infiltrate are rated as HSO-EH "Extremely Hostile Hidden Super Organization" Its all in the shadows but from a number of guesses from competent spies and calculations based on sigthings and reports its mused that the power and influence of the Organization surpasses most of the smaller villages or more, the thing is that we have no confirmed information, and that is what makes this mission so dangerous. You've probably guessed it already. But this Mission is of S-Class. |

| Seito beamed with confidence as Katsu highlighted his Genjutsu prowess as an essential part of the mission. Being acknowledge came few and far for him and the victory this time was short lived when he heard the words "S-Rank Mission." "S-Rank........," he seemed to have mumbled it incoherently. "Are you kidding? This has to be a joke right?" Each line made his voice sound more fragile as it was obvious he was having a meltdown of epic proportions. "I'm not ready for this...I can't be. It's Impoosible!" |

| *Kensei was sold at "Famous". His "fame" were more in his head then in reality, even if his name was known to most people in Konoha. Thing is, he was more "infamous" then famous. He did indeed perform puppet shows of great talent to audience that had gathered outside his house when he played or trained with them, but this was not why his name was spoken with a bad aftertaste by many. His "Reputation" comes from the more underground parts of the village-society. Where he was most known for staging "puppet-fights" where he had puppets tear eachother up for money. This in itself was no different then a child using a soldier-toy to vanquish the dinosaur. But the way Kensei brought life into the puppets made many people scowl at him. The performances were real, and the fights were intense. Kensei had a talent for making his puppets mimick human reaction even without concentrating, and when he concentrated there was no way to discern between his puppets and real human. Several of the fights he had staged were so brutal and lifelike, that some were sickened by the sight while imagining it were real people. For this, some viewed him as talented but misquided, while others simply saw a young lad taking early symtpoms of being a sociopath to new heights* Kensei: Snap, I'm beginning to like this mission~ *He said, while looking over at Seito* Kensei: Heeey, they are just letters yo! S-rank, B-rank, whatever! *He was smiling* Im sure we will be fine! *As previously displayed, Kensei did not have a good sense when it came to judging danger. He would shove "risk" under the carpet, not even considering failing until the crucial moment. More then once had he mouthed off against a few shady fellas amongst his clientelle, only to discover the consequences of his actions a second before the first fist hit him. This time however, Kensei was honestly beliving in their success. He didnt know why, and in-fact didnt even notice it, but he had enough faith in the team to match a seasoned 4-man cell despite their short career* |

| I was silently over-analyzing Katus's words, trying to take in everything I could. But I was currently stuck on something. The fact that I didn't get any referal to my skills from Katsu, just being me was apparently why I was here. It made my blood boil. Even Seitou and Kensei got compliments! If those idiots got them, why the hell was mine missing!?! I was snapped back to reality at the mention of 'S-rank'. I knew that was way out of my depth... What kind of idiot would send a team of GENIN on a mission that even ANBU had trouble with!?!? Especially this dysfunctional team... "Ok, i'm out. Let me know how it went if you get back alive." |
