Shian pulled out one of his pistols, "No thanks I want to make sure I use these for a certain someone," he said before sliding it in his holster. Euca shook his head, "All though it sounds cool, I would rather leave my weapon be, thanks though," he smiled.

Euca looked up, "My reason is a little cliché, but I just want to be there to help others, and even bring justice to those who are corrupt," he said with a nervous smile. Shian sighed, "I want to become a much stronger person, one that can erase the evils of the Whitefang,"

@Drago Ryder @Acnologia @dragon4111 @Skylord Nexus @rolle Shian perked his ears, "Salem? Sounds pretty villainous, but maidens, a person that can great Grimm, this...this is a bit much" Euca broke out of his thoughts, "Yeah...it...it is," he looked around.

(No you're good) Kenzo jumped down next to Yuki and stared at their teammate, "He will probably be weak for a while, but I think I bought us some time," he said looking at the hole in the barrier where the explosion went off. He looked around, their sensei wasn't in their sights and the sun was now replaced with the moon on the horizon, "We only have nine hours left, but I think I found his weakness, he has a bad temper and tends to forget smaller details," he pointed out that all the clones were gone and instead of dodging the two attacks they just sat there. He then pointed out how Shian had a few tricks of his fur, "They are smart and from what I can tell, we may end up failing his test, but the least we could do is nothing, but I want to pass, do you?" He asked Yuki. He then called out to Ryu, "Hey, how are you feeling!"

The clones weren't prepared for the attack as their creator had disappeared from view, a minor mistake made by the sensei. The real Yasei was still reaching a hand towards Kenzo, who was struggling to break free, the wolf was twice his size in weight and the only way out was to waste chakra to break through the wall or the ground. He saw the movement of his sensei, he was reaching for his head. Kenzo closed his eyes and focused his chakra into his hand that was pinned, "Ya know sensei you seem to assume the best...when you forget the minor details though, this makes things easy," he put his other hand to his pinned hand and made a few hand signs, "SUBSTITUTION JUTSU!" his body was replaced with a log, while he appeared on top of the barrier. Yasei stared at the log, "Who taught you that one?" He called out, Kenzo smiled, "My sensei before you, it's the easiest jutsu to master," he replied turning to see his teammates handling the clones. He clenched his fists and faced his sensei, "You thought you could defeat us by seperating us, that's an old technique, but it makes sense coming from you," he taunted. "You calling me old...kid," Kenzo smiled, "Yes I am, old man," Yasei felt rage course through his veins as he readied an attack. He heard Shian try to calm him down, but nobody called him old. Kenzo dropped an explosive trap on the barrier and hopped into a tree moving closer to his team. As if on cue Ryu and Yuki's attack happened at the same time of the trap exploding on their sensei and Shian, who had tried to stop him.

Shian paid close attention to what Ghalan was saying, his hands close to his weapons and his ears perked, wary of his surroundings. Euca kind of looked around and stayed close to Rei, he would do anything to keep her alive even if it meant the cost of his own, this was the same with everyone else, but Rei was the one he wanted to spend time with the most. Shian and Euca followed Ghalan.

Yasei smirked as the two came after him, "The same move...predictable," his body faded as they hit him, the clone disappeared, "did you think I'd just let you come after me, for all you know-" several clones surrounded the two students, "-the real me is helping Shian defeat your teammate," which wasn't true, he was more so in the center, watching both fights, impressed with the skills his students used, but they kept using the same techniques. He sighed and faced the two students, "Which clone is the real me," all the clones said in unison before holding up kunai, they threw them, "Now quit holding back and show me what you got!" They all finished jumping towards them at the same time as the kunai drew closer. ____________________________________ In the mean time Kenzo was struggling, Shian was dodging all his attacks, but he was doing the same, he had not brought his weapon out as he deemed it unfair, so he kept to his fists. The wolf growled and jumped at him, leading him to jump out of the way, but this time Kenzo jumped towards him reaching a foot out to use the wolf's head to surpass the barrier to get to his team, but Shian was ready. He turned his body sideways and started to spin quickly in the air. Kenzo's eyes widened and as hit foot touched he was sent flying into the barrier face first. He hit the ground and turned quickly to see the wolf staring at him, his muzzle inches away. Kenzo swung an arm, but was stopped by a paw, the wolf had him pinned to the wall, he barked happily and Yasei decided to jump over and see the catch, "Well done Shian, now time to make him lose points until there is no possible way to win," he reached a hand out and started to laugh... The sun was starting to set at this point.

Shian could hear both the electricity and the water, but knew he wouldn't get out of the way in time, luckily Yasei had planned for this, "Earth Style, Rockwall jutsu!" A wall cut off the water and electricity and cut off any view of Shian and Kenzo, Yasei smiled with his arms crossed, he was now behind the two, "I commend you for trying to help your teammate, but it was a one on one situation and with his kekkei genkai, he could have read my friend like a book, but now you're separated with your enemy behind you, what ever shall you do," Kenzo grit his teeth as he hit a tree, "Easy peasy huh,"

Euca and Shian both shivered at the sight of the place, it looked like a Grimm home lands as if they were civilized, Euca was especially wary of the negativity this place radiated.

Kenzo just nodded in agreement, this test was one that would be useful when they would be full shinobi, when the enemy has the advantage your best weapon was your mind and instincts. He looked at Yuki as they ran, "I want to be able to protect my home, simple as that, its the most valuable thing I have, my family, my friends they are what matter," He said, he recalled a memory of his father telling him how he and his mother met on a mission and when he saved her from a sand shinobi, they fell in love. Yasei on the other hand was already ahead of them and left a few traps, one being a camouflaged Shian, covered in chameleons, the others being spider webs with bomb kunai attached to them, he smiled as they came into view of the wolf who at the exact moment Kenzo was close to him, he jumped, leaving the chameleons on the tree. He growled as he bit down on Kenzo's arm just enough to restrain it. Kenzo fell and yelled towards the group to keep going, knowing he now had the wolf far enough so the others could deal with sensei.

Kenzo looked at Ryu, "my name isn't Shian first of all and second, I can't do that, I have a kekkei genkai, one that basically lets me see movement, for instance when our sensai came out of the ground I could tell where he was coming from simply from watching the wolf's eyes shift slightly towards your feet, but that doesn't mean I can't track them." He focused on the ground for a moment. Kenzo finally looked up, "I know where they are, kind of, a few animals and insects," he pointed at his feet where a few ants moved, "Are moving north, which means he now has a few creatures playing the role of spies, and he may have more than the wolf with him, so yes we should get moving, but one more thing, Yasei sensei is planning something so we need to stay alert," he looked North, "We don't exactly have an advantage here,"

Shian nodded, "Yeah I don't exactly feel safe not knowing any information on where we are going and what we are doing," he said looking at the rival team with concern. Euca on the other hand didn't care as long as he could help.

Euca and Shian both sat on the bullhead, Euca grabbed Rei's hand while Shian sharpened his blades. Euca, was still a little tense and kept silent, his mind elsewhere.

@Drago Ryder @Acnologia "Yeah long range strikes could stop him, but he could easily dodge them making us waste chakra, plus me and Ryu are in trouble unless we hit him or you get hit by him....hmmmm." Kenzo put a thumb to his chin before looking at Ryu, "We can't fail as a team if only one of us survives, I was able to trick him into touching me, but we have a bigger issue...his partner...if we could some how subdue that wolf Ryu and I could hit him," Kenzo knew that the plan could work, but the wolf was risky. Yasei and Shian on the other hand were planning their own strike. "If you are right they may try to hit me with long range strikes, but what if they don't," the wolf made a few noises in response. "That's brilliant,"

@Drago Ryder Yasei laughed as he looked down at Ryu, he snapped his fingers, "One, now to add-" he didn't get to finish as Kenzo charged towards him. He sighed and grabbed the boy's weapon and lifted him up. "Really a...hold on a second," He threw an elbow back and hit a stomach that turned into smoke, Kenzo used this opportunity to pull Ryu further underground and come back to the surface several feet away. Yasei turned back to the shadow clone he was holding, and poked it, except it didn't disappear, it was the real Kenzo, "Oops looks like I lost one too," he mocked and let go of his weapon getting out of the way as Yasei swung his weapon at him, 'Smart' the sensei thought before staring at Yuki, Kenzo called out to Ryu, "You alright!" After his teammates response he went to help Yuki. Shian growled and slid to a halt, his chest heaving. Yasei could feel his exhaustion and whistled for him to return to him. The wolf jumped out of the fight and the two used a substitution jutsu to get out leaving two logs in their place. Kenzo sighed, he and Ryu were down 1 while Yuki had managed to hold her own and remain at none. He waited for the two to speak as Yasei and Shian watched from afar...

Kenzo watched in horror as Ryu stood his ground...he was about to call out again when two hands appeared from the ground and reached for his teammates ankles. Yasei smiled underneath the ground, 'Gotcha' he thought. The kunai stopped flying and the wolf ran straight towards Yuki, Kenzo pulled his shield just in time to see a sprinting shadow clone coming towards him. He activated his kekkei genkai again, the next move would be an over head strike. He lifted his staff up as a hand came down on top of it. Kenzo and the clone stared at each other before Kenzo saw the next move and sweeping kick. He jumped into the air and lifted his staff letting a point for at the tips he thrust it down on top of the clone which disappeared into thin air, destroyed. He turned to the wolf which was engaged in combat with Yuki.

Euca overheard Ghalan's comment about Draco's mother, 'Thats how I feel about Etherius' family,' he thought to himself Shian wondered where they would be going, that's all he could do at the moment.

Kenzo looked behind him, "Yuki's right, its a two v three, but a jonin is like six of us, so we are out matched, the best thing to do would be..." He fell silent and his face turned white, His kekkei genkai picked up a slight movement in the wolf's eyes one that was looking down at Ryu's feet, "Ryu! Yuki! Jump!" He peeked around the shield, Yasei was still throwing kunai, but, it was a continuous movement, a distraction, a shadow clone. Kenzo knew that the minute those two jumped the wolf would come after him, he could only hope that Ryu or Yuki, would either save him or he would take one for the team.

Kenzo agreed, "Yeah, I think we really need to worry about all of nature, he can summon animals as well, but he didn't specify any of that...hmmm if we stick together in a formation we might be able to see him coming at all angles, but I don't know, either way we need to either tie or not get hit at all but we will most definitely get hit...hmmmm," Yasei smirked from a close by tree, these three would for sure not have to worry about hating each other, but he also knew about them. Shian growled beside him, "I know, these three might be able to hit me so, better get moving," he told his companion who ran off in a different direction, "Now lets test them," he himself ran towards the three and threw 6 kunai at them. Kenzo turned and jumped in front of his 2 teammates. He pulled his staff out of its place and formed it into a shield, the kunai bounced off in rapid succession. What Kenzo didn't realize was the wolf sneaking up behind them.

@Drago Ryder @Acnologia When the four shinobi arrived to their destination, a few things stood out, 1. It was a clearing surrounded by the forest 2. There were 3 logs in the center 3. Each log was a different size (one was 5 feet tall, one was 7 feet tall, the last one was 10 feet tall) Kenzo looked at his sensei, "So...this is it," The older shinobi smiled, "Yep, your training starts here," he turned to face the three, "Of course your training can't start until I see what you already know," he looked at each of them, "Which is why you are going to be facing me and Shian here, we will not go easy on you as the enemy won't either, there are four rules," he held up a finger, "One, all you have to do is hit me, hitting Shian doesn't count, and you get a point for every hit, 2 points if you make a scratch," He held up another, "Two, you have until night fall to hit me, Justus count," He held up a third, "Three, Every time I hit you, you lose a point, yes you can go into the negatives," Held up a fourth, "Four, whoever gets third place gets the tallest pole, second gets the second tallest, and first gets the shortest, oh and one more thing if you all tie you won't have to worry about the poles, if two of you tie I will decide who gets what pole, got it...good," Kenzo opened his mouth to speak, "BEGIN!" His sensei called out before both he and Shian disappeared into the trees. "Well...I guess we should start huh," Kenzo said looking at his teammates.

Euca and Shian followed after Etherius and Rei, Shian decided to grab Euca's arm, "You good?" He asked staring into his teammate's eyes, "I'm fine...I think, but right now all I want is to keep my team alive," Euca replied before shrugging Shian's arm off.

Yasei looked at Ryu, "Actually the reason you 3 are the only ones here is because you are late, should have been here 25 minutes ago," he turned his head to the girl, "No actually we grew up together, he is my brother in a way..." The wolf gave a little yip as if to say yes. Kenzo looked at his sensei with excitement, "You are THE Yasei, the animal ninja, the ninja of a thousand animals," his eyes beamed, *awesome* he thought to himself. "Yes well, you three need to follow me, time for your evaluation!" He said before turning and walking away.

"Nice to meet both of you as well" Kenzo said, "Yeah," Kenzo rubbed the back of his head with a nervous laugh, "So you three are my new genin!" A voice boomed from above them, Kenzo looked up to see a shinobi standing on the ceiling, The shinobi was about 6'4 in height, his body lean and the way he moved reminded Kenzo of a snake. His long blonde hair spiked out everywhere and matched his blue eyes which looked like cat eyes. His outfit was white with black stripes trailing the sleeves and pants. His left shoulder had the headband wrapped around it, in the center of his shirt was a completely black spot. He jumped down from his spot and landed in between the three, the back of his shirt had a bag covering it. He looked at the three of them, a smile on his face, "You look good enough to be shinobi," his voice had a soft silky tone, "I'm Yasei Seibutsu, and I am your trainer, Kenzo Kazuki, Ryu Kasai, and Yuki Ryusaki, you are my genin, this-" The sound of paws on the wood behind Yuki and Ryu indicated an animal was behind them, Kenzo saw the wolf, it was almost as tall as Yuki and was Silver with green eyes, "-is my partner, Shian,"

Kenzo winked ans placed a thumb on his chest, "Yep that's me, I would always crack a joke when the moment got boring," he said with grin.

Kenzo looked up at the genin who spoke, his smirk still sitting there, his green eyes observed the two, "Kenzo Kazuki," he stood up and looked at the girl, "Yuki, right? I think we had a class together?"
