Team 19's Gathering
A collab between Fiery, Mary, Conman, and Honorabru
Summary: Two new members are put in Mitsunari's team, and he has laid the team out a objective if they wish to not go to the Academy. It.... goes about as well as he planned, and then something unexpected happens.
[spoili]After being released from prison he decide to take the next day off only to think of how he was going to punish Kona and Sho for what he considered reckless and inhumane. He also found out that he has a new student called Yone Tsuji, what he read was that she seemed like a good hard worker. Lord knows they need that on this team, and apparently his sister is also on his team so he knew what one was fully capable of, that one was reckless, one had a itchy kill finger, and the newest one seemed good..... so far. Well he could always give the two their punishments later, Yone's first day with her new team shouldn't be drama filled. So he came up with a training session for the four and would pray nothing would mess it up.
So come the next day after sending letters to all the students besides his sister who he dragged with. They would await at their training field where Mitsunari would sit patiently for the rest to arrive while Kitana stretched her arms.
"So.... Anything I should know about your students brother?" She asked to which he shook his head and sighed.
"Oh trust me. you'll understand once you see them. Just remember, they I can't punish twenty four seven. You on the other hand I can, so don't fuck around, got it?" Mitsunari told her to which she held up her hands.
"Yeah, I know. Best behavior."
She was pumped! Walking up the street the genin had considered already how she would fill out her first day. A good impression was one to last the best, a common fact. For that reason, Yone had made sure that she was fully equipped and looking all ready as dandy. An important aspect of a kunoichi or shinobi was that you were ready for anything. Technically, everybody should be ready for anything when serving in the military. Pondering on that thought as she continued to head to the meeting place Yone wondered if she would be fitter as a soldier in the imperial army in the shinobi corps. What were the glaring differences, she thought.
Arriving at the perimeter of the field Yone stopped her train of thoughts. Spotting two figures, both unknown to her, the teen eyed them from a distance. Not because she was shy or wanted to be rude but more because she was interested and using the time as the distance to evaluate the situation. They didn't seem that bad. Then again, it is hard to judge a book by its cover.
Walking towards the two Yone adjusted the hood of her raincoat so that her features were easier to be spotted. Raising her right hand up in a fist, she would place it against her chest as a salute to the two. A short and abrupt halt made the whole salute complete as Yone spoke up.
"Yone Tsuji, reporting in." There was a certain determination present in both her attitude and tone. Not because she was ready to prove herself, but this could serve as first step for her ambition.
Kona quietly trudged along in the rain to the training field. She was a mess for sure. The dark circles under her eyes indicated that she had gotten little to no sleep over the past two days, and the quietness settled on her usually outward and rash demeanor in a very unsettling way.
She wasn't someone who had wanted to earn the title of killer at the rank of genin, but the woman had been no compliant, and in a situation where crossbows were involved and actively shooting, Kona had little time to deal with potential threats. Still...... justifid though she thought she was, she was prepared to recieve a punishment from her sensei, and accepted it with grim resignation. The same resignation she had resigned herself to when she had sat in the cell that night, the chakra restrainer around her neck.
Kona silently padded onto the training field, spotting three people already there. Kona walked over to the three, picked out the one who she determined to be her sensei, and bowed.
"Kona reporting in sensei."
She said in a grim tone
Somehow Sho just knew that Mitsunari was going to pissed at him. Not that he cared. So far the man hadn't proven himself to be any kind of teacher. That one training he gave really didn't do it for Sho. They said you had to give people the benefit of the doubt, but Sho knew that that was bullshit. People were exactly as you first preceived them. And Mitsunari seemed to him to be the type that would now hold a speech on Sho's actions at the post office. As if he wasn't stuck with that whole thing enough as it was.
At the entrance of the field Sho halted for a second noticing the four people that were already present. Two of them he knew, two he didn't. He honestly didn't know who he was more excited to see. No one really. As he walked closer Sho found himself looking at the new entities that were present. As per usual they didn't look like much, but hopefully they had a bit more spunk than Kona, who, as he walked closer, he noticed, looked like crap. He didn't really care why and didn't bother asking. Instead he just turned to his sensei, waved his hand in the air as some sort of salute and said:
"Morning."
Starting off with a good impression of being the first to arrive would be Yone who gave him a salute. He smiled and stood up and saluted her back. Then his smile faded as Kona arrived next giving him respect, but respect he wasn't currently buying. Although she looked like she had just been beaten senseless for several days, which wasn't his problem. Then came Sho who was acting like Sho. It was enough to cause him to mentally sigh and wish to smash his head off of something. He looked at Kitana who was giggling already and sighed as he cracked his neck.
"Okay well for the newest student of mine, I am Mitsunari Riojin. I've been a jounin for a few years now, so to save a long talk. If you have any questions for me, I will do my best to help you. Now first thing is first!" Mitsunari said as he looked at Kona and held out his hand.
"I want your tools, kunai, shuriken, wires, bombs, you get the point. You are offically barred from using them unless I give permission. Sho while I could yell at you, it would prove ineffective. So I will simply make you put more effort into everything you do, and I do mean everything. If I told everyone to run five laps, you will do ten. In fact that seems like a great warm up! I'll be tame since it's early. Everyone three laps around the field. Sho, that means six for you." Mitsunari said with a smile as he would even join in with the laps.
A grin touched Yone's lips as she received a salute back from the man. Perhaps this was a good start? Content with how it was starting. Subtly eyeing the others as two more even joined the group. A girl that seemed to be quite down and making Yone wonder if she was even up for some training or doing a mission. Was she even being alive at this moment, the teen wondered as she tilted her head slightly to the right.
There was also this guy with red hair. Which did attract some of Yone's interest? He didn't seem like the type to chatter and waste time one just bantering about trivial matters. Which was perhaps good for in the field, but not really making Yone eager to get to know the other. Or perhaps she was judging a bit too soon? Probably.
The cracking of somebody's neck - which disgusted Yone - made her turn her head to shift her attention back to the man she concluded to be their sensei. Curious to see and hear what kind of mentor he was, Yone's eyes widened slightly as he ordered to have the tools of 'Kona'. Hearing the reason made Yone throw a curious glance at the direction of her team member. What had she done to receive such a punishment?
When the man spoke to Sho, Yone raised her left hand to scratch her cheek. She wasn't really feeling comfortable as she remembered the boy now. As the man started to speak up to her male team member Yone felt a twinge of the need to speak back. He had risked his life - more or less at least - to try to save hers and the other people in the post office. She remained silent, however, turning her eyes away as she just listened to what Mitsunari told them. As Mitsunari told them to do three laps, Yone would just nod and follow him. Focusing her thoughts on just doing what would be told.
Kona's eyes widened at the order, her expression indignant and defiant for only a moment, before the look of resignation returned. This was her punishment, this was her penance. It meant she would have no more accuracy training outside of what Mitsunari supervised, and even then, she doubted it would be much.
The entirety of her ninja tool stash was to be handed over, so that Mitsunari could keep an eye on them for her. Kona said nothing, but unclasped the pouch on her hip, hesitating for a moment before taking off the kunai thigh holster. The hood of her jacket covered her face with shadow as she handed the tools over.
"Yes sensei."
Kona had already resigned herself to this. No one would really care the circumstances of which she had been placed under during the time of the post office attack, that much the officer from the station made very clear in her chat with him. Who the hell was she supposed to turn to with her problems? She had no friends, her neighbors had started avoiding her since the post office incident, and she had fucked up so badly that she was handing over her ninja tools to her sensei.
When he ordered her and the rest of the group to take three laps, she said nothing, but took off on the laps around the field.
As they all were running, despite some reluctance at first from Kona with her gear. Yone seemed to be following orders well enough and Sho was not misbehaving too much. So far so good. They would all continue their laps and as all three of them finished their three laps, Mitsunari would watch to make sure Sho kept on doing his. Turning his gaze back to the three women he would smile.
"Good work so far. So because we have a couple of new faces I figured it would be nice for you three to introduce yourselves to each other, before we begin our purpose today. Don't worry about Sho, he would find this pointless anyway."
Mitsunari would then nudge Kitana who was panting a bit, she would stand up straight and flash both of her teammates a bright smile.
"Ah my name is Kitana Riojin. I'm our sensei's little sister. I'm a chuunin, I have some knowledge in kenjutsu and am a user of paper release. Its nice to meet you two."
Running the laps Yone didn't even feel any sweat being formed. She was used to running around - if she didn't then she was a horrible courier, after all.
For a moment she wanted to continue, both cause she enjoyed the exercise and to not let Sho run alone. There was still the feeling she owed him something in return for what he had attempted. Besides, who knew? He was a chuunin, perhaps he could help her with useful tips?
That wouldn't, however, happen much to Yone's shame as she fell in with the others to stop. Briefly, she threw a sideways glance at the still running red-haired boy. Hearing that they were going to do some introduction Yone didn't feel like it. She didn't know the others and while she was aware that this could be people she had to work with for god know how long, that didn't mean she was okay with that.
The sibling of the sensei introduced herself, stating that she was a chuunin. This did attract Yone interest as she wondered how the other had become a Chuunin. She knew that it could happen through either the Chuunin exam or by a promotion through merit. That and paper release. Yone wondered what that entitled. Could she make paper sheets into dangerous weapons or use them in combat? That was somewhat funny and weird, but she wouldn't ask anything about that. It wasn't the right time and place.
"Yone Tsuji is the name," she started, using her right thumb to point at herself,
"I am a genin and work as a courier for the Imazaki Post office. You likely have heard of it." She paused, realizing what she just had said.
"Am not really specialized on anything, truth be told."
Kona said nothing, but let the silence lay for a moment. She debated mentally whether or not she should introduce herself. Perhaps it was a bad idea? Still, it was an exercise for their training, and Mitsunari wanted her to go through with it, so she spoke quietly.
"My name is Kona Omari, I am a genin, I have no particular skills and I do D rank missions as a job."
When Kona was finished, she settled back into her grim look, and waited for the others to speak.
Mitsunari had a surprised look to hear that Yone worked at the post office that was attacked, and which caused his irritation in his team at the moment. Yet he remained silent and listened to Kona's quiet introduction. Needless to say her bummed attitude was her own fault, so she had no one to blame but herself there. The only one that caused some intrigue was Yone so far, he knew very well what Sho was capable of so far. It only irritated him that the boy wouldn't work well with others. Speaking of he was coming over after finishing his laps and Mitsunari would hold his hand out in the halt position and point back to the field.
"Good, now one hundred push ups and no stopping." Mitsunari said plainly and watched the boy walk off and start his push ups, before looking at the three women again.
"You know I'll be open with you all. I've been trying to figure out a way too see just how badly you all want to be a shinobi, cause so far I have a reckless man running around, and a bonafide killer. So you know what. Today's training will be very simple in concept, it just depends on you all if you make it work or not. You all need to use teamwork to hit me. Thats right every single one of you needs to land a solid hit on me, I might count grazing who knows." Mitsunari said smiling as he looked at them.
"Rules are simple, use whatever you want in an attempt to hurt me. Now heres why you need to take it seriously. If you all don't hit me, I'm sending each and everyone of you back to the academy." Mitsunari said which caused his sisters face to go blank and start laughing nervously.
"H-hey thats a joke now right brother?" She said and was even more shocked when Mitsunari stared at her and started getting some distance from them.
"So yeah you all have until sundown to hit me or you can kiss your current ranks goodbye."
Kitana stared at the two females and rubbed the back of her head.
"So I can try distracting him with my paper techniques while you two take advantage of that and try and land a hit on him. Any chance you two know a way to bind or slow movement?" She looked back at Sho hoping when he got back he wouldnt be too exhausted to attempt this.
Kona was dead quiet, she didn't respond to Kitana or to Mitsunari. All she did was lock her eyes on him, and continuously clench and unclench her fist.
"Who is he to call me a murderer? Has he not killed before? How is that any different?"
Kona didn't listen or respond to anything Kitana said. She was blinded by anger and rage, and she clenched her teeth and charged, straight forward, no tact, no concealed attempt.
"Who are you to call me a murderer?! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF ME! ALL YOU KNOW IS WHAT IS IN A FUCKING FILE!"
Kona had no tools, no ability to attack at range, but she didn't care. The pure fact that the man who had known her and trained with her for maybe a day at most, and yet he had presumed to call her a murderer. When and if she got close, Kona would go for a punch towards the man's face. A simple, unhidden, attack.
Yone listened to Kitana, considering how they could work together as a team to land a blow on Mitsunari. She already considered combining the use of smoke bombs with her sensory technique. The problem was that the others maybe didn't know how to use sensory ninjutsu and she couldn't pass by herself. It was either the team together or nobody. Raising her right hand to scratch the back of her head Yone let out a sigh.
"I know two gen---" she started to say but was cut off as Kona seemed to suffer rabies, starting to charge forwards as an enraged dog. Narrowing her eyes Yone wouldn't hesitate to move in on the other girl. As Yone noticed that Kona raised her fist, the former didn't waver at all. Pushing herself forwards, Yone attempted to tackle Kona in order to prevent her from even too close to land a hit.
A reckless man running around. Sho caught those last words as he walked up to the group from behind Mitsunari where he had been doing pushups. Honestly, he wasn't too offended by that. He would be one of the first the acknowledge that he was pretty reckless, but then again, he only was when he felt he could affort it, or when he felt like it. Kona however didn't seem to take whatever words Mitsunari said so well though. She rushed at the man like a beast. Without thinking Sho moved in line with Yone appearing before Kona as she charged her sensei and as Yone went for the tackle Sho simply remained the wall. Might Yone fail in her tackle then Sho would catch Kona's punch.
"Bind movement," he said to Kitana, not even acknowledging Kona's attack indicating that he really didn't give a shit about her or her attack.
"I can do that if I can get in close. Water whip and/or Water Prison should do the trick."
A smile crept up on Mitsunari's face at the young girls reaction. She responded to taunts too easily, least Sho wasn't going mental. So as she rushed him, he didn't even budge as her teammates stopped her themselves with Kitana also helping Yone in holding back the angry little one.
"Oh? Did I strike a nerve, like you struck that woman about seven, eight times? Also child I know more than you think." Mitsunari said as he overheard Sho tell what he can do. It shocked Mitsunari a bit to hear Sho admitting what he can do. Mitsunari smiled brightly at them.
"For the record just cause you are using teamwork to prevent someone from getting their arm broken, doesn't count towards the objective. It's a good step though."
Kitana currently holding back Kona was ignoring her brothers taunts and hopefully so was Kona. She looked at Sho who told how he could bind Mitsunari and nodded.
"Okay sounds like a plan." She said letting go of Kona to look at her brother who stood there watching them like a hawk. She would start off easy for now, taking some steps away from her allies just to not hit them, she reached into her pouch and yanked it out throwing paper shuriken at her brother who simply side stepped the assault. Yet she kept up the throwing just for that slight distraction rate.
Kona was quickly restrained by the act of Yone tackling her. A simple matter given Kona had chosen a straight path. Behind Yone stood Sho, seemingly just standing there, and in a moment Kitana was with Yone helping her hold Kona back. Kona scrambled, pushed, shoved, trying to get some kind of movement going as Mitsunari simply taunted her. Kona stopped, realizing it was useless, and just looked to the ground, taking a few steps back from Yone and Kitana.
"You presume to believe you know anything about me? Sensei Mitsunari Riojin? What is it that you think you know?"
Kona composed herself, and let her hand fall to her hip, where her confiscated tool pouch was supposed to be.
"It seems I'll actually have to get close.... not that I didn't plan to do that in the first place."
Her right eye twitched, the corner of her lips moved down as she flexed her right hand while she back two steps away. Yone's eyes narrowed as she turned her attention on somebody before she spoke up in a loud and annoyed tone.
"Can you please zip those lips?! If you don't know anything useful to say then just shut up or I am going to make you shit teeth tomorrow morning."
Scoffing Yone turned her gaze on their sensei. It was already annoying that one of her team members had just been so easy to stir up. Not to mention that she had no tools and went straight in ahead for an attack. The man hadn't even said start and besides : who just attacked another person? Perhaps this girl was indeed a killer, but Yone wasn't scared of her. She had dealt with more scrawny, dangerous looking fellows than her.
"Okay, I can try to distract him. I know a genjutsu or two. Something," Yone raised the volume of her voice for a moment,
"I tried to say before somebody went apeshit," lowering her voice to a more hushed volume - audible enough for those around her - Yone continued.
"The only problem is that he probably knows what we are capable off. Doubt he is the type that isn't challenging us without doing some homework." For a moment Yone wondered if Mitsunari was much of a bookworm in his younger days. Probably.
"Else we can try to blind him with some flash or smoke bombs before we try to tango in close?"
Sho was going to snap at Kona to shut the fuck up, but apparently the newbie in the team was way ahead of him. He raised his eyebrows for just a second at her words, an almost amused expression on his face. At least this girl knew some good words.
"What she said," were Sho's only words before he shifted his attention away from the whole ridiculous situation, but not before muttering:
"as if we wanted to know anything about you."
Kitana was already chucking paper shuriken at his teacher as Yone suggested genjutsu.
"Of course he fucking knows what we can do," he threw back at her.
"But that doesn't matter. Knowing doesn't mean you can stop it. Keep him dancing until we can get close, I'd say." He placed his hand at his mouth.
"What kind of annoying genjutsu tricks can you do?" he asked her before released a stream of water bullets at Mitsunari as he moved closer towards the man.
With Kona asking a question, it just raised a smirk as he kept his mouth shut as the teammates told her to shut the hell up, while suggesting bodily harm. Of course he had to keep his attention on his sister for the moment who kept throwing paper shuriken at him, before it stopped. They seemed to be coming up with a plan... well three of them that was. He folded his arms waiting wondering what their next series of attacks may be. Just then Sho launched some water bullets at him, and he spotted his sister also doing some hand seals. Yet before he could see what she was doing, he had to move out of the way of the water bullets, and as he did so paper birds were there to greet him. He reached into his pouch and grabbed three kunai, throwing and taking the birds down before they got too close. As they collapsed into sheets of paper, he didn't see one paper bomb in them. Yet of course that woulndt be the end as more paper weapons were being thrown at him.
"Uh just for the record whatever it is, it hopefully can buy us more than five seconds. Brother also knows genjutsu, quite well in fact." She said low enough to keep it between them, as she threw several more shuriken at him.
Kona's attention narrowed in on the paper weapons being thrown, she ignored the others, only barely listening to catch the plan. Their insults didn't matter. All she wanted to do was sock Mitsunari a really good one.
Kona took a low combat stance, and followed Sho in. She had no intention of getting any closer then Sho did. Simply put, she was using Sho as cover for the moment.
Given the information provided by Kitana though, she suddenly stopped and waited, taking up a defensive stance once more. Kona didn't know any way to release a genjutsu, it wasn't really something she had focused on back in the academy. It'd be better for her to let Sho get close and see if she saw an opening. She'd get closer if she saw one.
A glare was shot at Sho from Yone. Her pity of before forgotten thanks due to the situation they were in. As Kitana and Sho started to distract their sensei Yone gained an idea. Using a genjutsu would be out of the question if their opponent was capable of recognizing one. Pulling out two kunai with one hand Yone would pull out two explosive tags out of her pouch. Slapping the tags around the handle of the kunai, she would throw one to soar through the air to get close to Mitsunari. She was aiming to get it close to use the explosion to force him to the left. Hopefully allowing her to throw the other to keep him moving and not giving much time to mount a defense against what the others would attempt to do to get in closer.
Closer, closer, closer. Sho steered to the left as he saw Yone's kunai come into view. At least they were doing a decent job of keeping Mitsunari occupied for now. Unless, of course, that was all an illusion. You never knew with genjutsu. It as so freaking annoying. He wouldn't say it was cheating, because there was no such thing as cheating in a fight, but it was one of the things he thoroughly despised fighting.
He was now almost next to the man so Sho turned to him, made handseals and spit out a large wave of water towards the man. It would obscure their visions of each other as it seemed Sho was preparing for another technique to use.
Dodging the water bullets and paper shuriken was what took up most of his concentration. Although if this was all they were going to do, then they would never pass. He frowned though as he saw Kona using her comrade as a shield, didn't it occur to her to ask one of her teammates to hand her tools? He took away yours not theirs afterall. Oh well this was for them, he just hoped they realized they had to include Kona in on this. Thats when he watched Sho make a rather large wave. Jumping backwards he reached into his pouch and threw a kunai with a tag attached to it to explode and counter the wave.
That was when he saw a kunai to his left with a weird handle, he squinted at first and then his eyes widened. The tag would explode sending him tumbling to the right to where paper birds would be flying at him, this time when one approached it flashed and exploded sending him back to the left. This was much better, this is what he wanted them to do. Since now they put him right back in range of Sho who was planning something. He however smiled and started getting back to his feet too see what Sho was going to throw at him. If the others were smart they would work in unison with Sho to make his strategy work.
The water wave was blown apart, but that was to be expected. It did have the desired result of blocking Mitsunari from coming closer to him right then and there. Their sensei was send back and forth as the different technqiues went off around him which was exactly what Sho wanted. As soon as Mitsunari came back towards him Sho stood at the ready. With the endless amount of seals finished he rushed up to the side of the man and thrust his hand out. A Water Prison would begin to grow from his hand around his sensei who was still getting back to his feet.
Keeping her focus on their sensei Yone was hoping that things were going as planned. It was that much clear to the teen that they were at least making it hard for the jounin to not freely move around or throw back attacks. Then again, she wasn't sure how good jounin, in general, were in combat situations so perhaps he was just toying with them. Readying herself, Yone decided that she would alter her approach as she noticed what was going on. Spotting Kona hiding behind Sho and giving Yone the idea that the former wanted to use the latter as shield Yone wondered for a second. Throwing a glance sideways at Kitana she wasn't sure what she should do. Prioritise her above others to at least land a hit or try to aid another to land a strike. Focusing back on Mitsunari, Yone would throw the explosive kunai to move to the right side of the jounin. Waiting she would let the explosion tag go off once it was near the jounin to at least drive him - hopefully - a bit away and lowering his defense, thus giving Sho more of an opening.
Kona had stayed behind Sho to keep herself from getting in the way, and it had paid off. Sho was in front of Mitsunari, and now was her time to act. She didn't have ninja tools, but she didn't need them at the range she would be at. Moving in directly behind Sho, Kona moved in beside Sho, she'd strike Mitsunari if he attempted to attack Sho or block the attack that he'd attempt if all went well. Hopefully, if Sho could get the water prison completely covering Mitsunari, they'd all be able to score a hit, and that would be check and mate.
Still getting up, he saw Sho approach him with hand out which made the sensei smile.Water prison was the boys plan huh? It would halt his movement but even if it hit, they were still missing part of their goal. Yone kept him pinned in front of Sho which was good actually. As the water started to form around Mitsunari, he made his own handseals at a fast rate and looked at Sho as he tried to reach out to grab him before the prison formed, yet what Sho would witness was his sensei being halted as he struggled to move inside his prison. The others seeing the man trapped would then come closer in an attempt to end and pass their training. Although Kona glared at the sensei and had her arm prepped to swing at the one that invoked her wrath.
However that was not what was going on at all, as soon as his handseals finished the water that was forming would splash on the ground as Sho kind of just stood there effectively trapped in his Judgement genjutsu. It would buy him enough time before he figured out what was going on. However before Kona could figure out what was happening. Mitsunari lunged to kick the small girl square in the chest with his foot to send her sprawling backwards away from Sho.
Kitana who had hope seeing the water form then drop was confused.
"What?! What is he doi- Oh shit! Hes under a genjutsu! Yone, snap Sho out of it! Hit him or something. I'll distract brother." Kitana asked before weaving handseals, her body started to turn into sheets of paper and she even floated off the ground as she flew towards Mitsunari.
For a moment Yone was already smirking. It seemed that they were making it hard for their jounin to keep evading their barrage of attacks. However, the smirk vanished as Kitana told her what was going on.
"On it!" She told Kitana, starting to head towards Sho. On her way, Yone stayed wary of the possible attacks from Mitsunari. Throwing a glance at Sho a plan started to hatch in Yone's mind. Pulling out a blinding tag with one hand and another to pull out a kunai Yone was certain that just rushing in blindly without being somewhat prepared to buy herself some time wouldn't end well.
The kick caught Kona full on in the chest, and sent her backwards. Kona knew how to fall correctly and recover in a smooth motion, so as the kick caught her, she had already exhaled on instinct, so it didn't knock the wind out of her, and sort of mitigated some of the impact, but only some of it, not all of it. As she fell backwards, she threw herself into a backwards roll, using the momentum provided by the kick and adding a little more, moving backwards into a handstand position whilst still moving, and then pushing off and coming back into a standing position again. That being said though, the whole process left her slightly disoriented, so for about a fifth of a second she got her bearings, before rushing forward again to try and cover Sho again. If she got in range of Mitsunari she would attack him with a right handed palm heel strike aimed at the chest, before following with a left handed punch aimed at Mitsunari's stomach, and ending with right handed uppercut, before holding in a defensive stance and waiting for Mitsunari to counter attack, her fists up and near her face.
Got him! Triumphant Sho smirked to the man trapped in the water prison. For a Jounin he was pretty stupid if he got trapped in that.
"Hit him already!" Sho yelled to the teammembers who no doubt were wasting time by just not coming to help out. He really had to do everything himself. He sighed as no one showed up and instead decided that fine, he would do it himself. With that thought lightning started to form around the hand that was stuck in the water prison.
Of course, to the outside world nothing of this was happening. Sho, however, didn't show any sign that he had any idea that he was in the genjutsu. In fact he seemed perfectly content standing there.
Things weren't going as well as they had gone a few moments ago. Yone made a brief halt as she eyed the situation. If this had been a real fight she would've bolted already. Her instincts were already 'advising' her that she should book it.
Knowing that it was even a training didn't make Yone more on edge. With it being clear that approaching Sho wouldn't be much of use unless she desired to be kicked back as Kona had been Yone would take a different approach. Slapping the flashing tag around the handle of the kunai she would aim to have the weapon go towards the ground near Sho. Hopefully, she could blind or distract Mitsunari long enough with that to knock Sho out of the genjutsu.
For Sho he would see the others coming over to help but the boy was a tad impatient and was going to do this himself it seemed. Seeing a spark caused Mitsunari to go wide eyed before spazzing about in the water from the electrical shocks. When it was said and done he would see his sensei go limp before the next thing he saw was the forming of his Water prison again, with this time Mitsunari rushing to the left and catching Kona's fist and pushing her into the red haired boy.
"Hmm? Whats up Sho?" He asked with a wide grin on his face.
For the others it was different, spotting his sister approaching him at high speeds from her technique, Kona was also attacking him. One more dangerous than the other, and he treated it as such as he made handseals just as Kona was about to strike, his body and head turned a blackish color. What Kona would hit would make her feel as if her body part went numb and was causing a violent shaking within her own body. yet he caught her left hand before she could punch and pulled both of them to the side dodging Kitana's kick from above. He then shoved Kona away and reached into his pouch and retrieved his big smoke bomb. Just as he dropped it though he looked to Yone who threw a kunai and next thing he saw was a blinding light which caused him to yelp a bit as white clouded his sense. Smoke would then surrond the area around Mitsunari enveloping Kitana, Kona, and Sho. Who if he broke out might be more confused than he was in the genjutsu.
"What the..." Sho cursed as Mitsunari suddenly disappeared from his water prison. The water splashed uselessly on the ground as the technique was lost. And then Kona collided with him. That girl was seriously annoying and useless. He shoved Kona out of the way and turned his attention back on Mitsunari. With a quick glance around he looked for what his team members were doing before preparing another attack.
She tried to be cautious as her heart was skipping beats. This was practice? Seemed more like she was pulled into a real skirmish between shinobi. Beads of cold sweat kept running over her cold skin, wondering what she should do now. The developments did, however, bolster her courage as she started to run. Her plan or approach wasn't the best, but she had an idea. The smoke wasn't going to be much of a trouble as soon as she was done with freeing Sho from the genjutsu.
Picking up her pace, forcing herself to run as fast as she could, Yone narrowed her eyes as she clenched her hands for a moment into fists.
Closing in the distance the teen would move in with attempting to grab Sho with her left hand and deliver a quick knee to the face. She couldn't rely on breaking the genjutsu quickly enough with pouring her chakra into his system and hoping that it would free him. No, the pain would have to do the dirty work.
Rushing out of the smoke, as not knowing where her brother was in a clouded enviornment was dangerous to just rush at, would have prepared herself to launch an attack but something else caught her attention.
"Brother! The city is being attacked!! She said as she counted multiple plunes of smoke rising into the sky. She heard about the post office but this was much worse.
Mitsunari heard this and debated if it was a trick, but grumbled and started walking out of the smoke.
"Training is on hold for now. Are you serious Kitana?" He asked stepping out of the smoke not knowing Sho just got kneed in the face, and stared at the sky being engulfed in smoke.
"Holy shit.... Okay new orders! We are going to aid the people agaisnt whatever threat this is. No ninjutsu unless its one hundred percent necessary. If you can't handle this, then go home! Just know that if you do you get sent to the academy. Those that come, follow me. We will group up at my clan's base and get better suited for this!"
Mitsunari stated to them as he took off running to his clan's ground, if they followed or not was not of his concern, taking out whatever this threat was his number one priority, but rushing in without protection would be asinine. Behind him Kitana was following, she beckoned for the others to follow but it was up to them in the end if they did so.
Kona had been grinning as she had gone in to hit Mitsunari. The man had been weaving handseals, trying to perform some kind of ninjutsu, however it was too late for him to block anything. Just as he finished his handseals, her punch connected, and Kona was stunned when her hand went numb, and then suddenly her left hand was caught, the follow up punch never getting a chance to reach the target. After that, Kona was pushed, and then suddenly white filled her eyes, the blinding tag that followed leaving her to stand in a defensive position for a bit waiting for her eyesight to return. As Kona did so, the smell of smoke from a smoke bomb filled her nostrils and lungs.
When her eyesight returned, she stumbled her way out of the smoke, only to hear Mitsunari say that training was on hold, and that they were heading off to assist with something, though since Kona hadn't heard anything from before. Though when she looked over and saw the plumes of smoke coming from the village, she went pale. Kona didn't waste any time, and followed behind Mitsunari and Kitana quickly, following them.
Sho was moving in again, hoping to catch Mitsunari off guard with some quick jabs as the other started to do something useful when suddenly all his movements stopped and an excruciating pain shot through his nose. Without having been able to prepare for this sudden bombardment of pain Sho's hands shot to his face. A loud curse escaped his lips. His eyes closed.
And when he opened them again the whole scenery had changed. For one thing Yone was right up to his face, her knee just lowering from whatever movement she had preformed. There was blood running through his fingers, his nose pulsated.
"Fuck!" Sho cursed again as he looked around, one hand holding his bloodnose firmly, as he tried to figure out what happened. Mitsunari was nowhere near in range of punches. Kona and Kitana were doing all kinds of things and the sky was full of smoke.
"What the..." he mumbled as he pushed Yone away from him. Mitsunari was barking orders. Something about following him or going back to the Academy. Sho's head was still ringing. He tried to push the idea of pain back, ignoring it, but that was surprisingly difficult. Normally he had some way to steel himself against pain when he knew he would get hit, but not this time.
Genjutsu. That was the only thing it could have been. Freaking Mitsunari. But his teacher was not here to be yelled at. So Sho shot a look at Yone. First he would have yelled at her for randomly attacking him, but now he figured that she had been the one to snap him out of that genjutsu. He was kind of grateful for that. So he just shot her a look, which probably looked more angry than he wanted too with the blood running down his face, before running after his teacher. Going out there did not sound like a good idea, no doubt he would end up in prison again, but going back to the Academy was definitely worse.
What?
The word just rang through Yone's head as she looked around. Not that she was completely oblivious to what happened but she was merely too confused on what she should do. Hearing what Mitsunari ordered made Yone's eyes widen for a moment. Throwing a look at the plumes of smoke her heart skipped a beat. Licking her lips Yone took a step backwards. Whatever was going on, it was clearly something not too pretty. The threat of Mitsunari didn't help much, but as she saw how the others started to run Yone shook her head.
Taking another step backwards she threw a quick look at Sho. The bloodied look he threw at her made it clear for Yone. She wasn't going to jump into another chaotic scene. The memory of what had happened at the Post-Office of mister Nomura was still clear in her mind. Besides, she could think of more reasons as she turned around. Running the opposite side Yone didn't care much for the fact Mitsunari would send her to the Academy. Risking her life with two people who had been suspected of murder and abuse? No thanks.
Taking a look behind him too see most of the team besides one following, that one being Yone. He paused for a second but ended up shaking his head and continued to run towards the smoke. He couldn't blame the girl, being put on a team and with the first meeting one could easily see problems between them, and a city wide event happening as well. That would be too much for most genin to handle, so he couldn't blame her but would talk with her later about this, more pressing issues were at hand.
"Those that stayed, you are not to kill anyone unless you yourself are about to die. I don't need the team's rep to plummet further into the grave. Any hostiles you knock out or tie up." Mitsunari said, as he looked at Kona and grudgingly tossed her pouch at her.
"Don't make me regret that kid. If I see you throw any of them to kill without it being necessary, then I myself will bring you in. Clear? Good." Mitsunari stated to the rest of the team.
Kona nodded to Mitsunari, catching her pouch and attaching it to her hip. A plan hadn't even been layed out, and all they knew was that the village was smoking, unless Mitsunari had figured out something Kona hadn't. Of course, Kona made the connection between the smoke and the smoke the post office had held, but besides that, what else could they possibly know?
I didn't plan on killing that woman.
She wanted to tell Mitsunari. Besides, she had felt that the situation warranted it back then, what the hell did she know of the situation now? Absolutely nothing. Well, she did know that the new girl hadn't followed, but besides that, nothing. Kona simply waited for the order to move[/spoili][/fieldbox]
