Eastside of the Turtle

[Sondiame]

The east side of the turtle is the opposite of the West side. The only significant landmark here is a lake and the area where the dock would be located. There aren't any giant creatures here.

[Ronin]

Akatsuchi would stand at the eastern part of the turtle looking around the area. "Well now the real test starts. Let's not let Koichi-sensei down." Akatsuchi would say to his teammates ready to get this part of the exam started. With their combined abilities they should be fine.

[Rothailithin]

"Yes. We should look for another team soon. We need to finish this mission quickly so we can get a head start on studying the other teams for strengths and weaknesses. What do you think Rinji?" Bakuhatsu reached in her backpack to make sure her clay was still there. As she finished checking, she took a small chunk of it and placed it in her mouth, chewing it like gum.

[vanessa ☯]

"Team Koichi! Take another villages Headband!"

The harsh bark of the Takigakure jonin still rang through the genin’s ears. He reached the eastern side of the island along with his teammates, warily scanning his decaying surroundings for any of the genins assigned the assassination mission. Their assignment wouldn’t be as tough as killing another squad of genin, but it seemed as though they may need to go that far. His muscles tensed at the sound of a cracking twig, and Rinji quickly drew a kunai from the pouch at his waist. A glossy raven hopped out from the tall undergrowth, before it took flight with outstretched wings. False alarm. The snapping of hard ground to kunai could have given away the group’s position, if Rinji had thrown the kunai quickly.

The Iwagakure genin replied to Bakuhatsu’s question, “We’ll lose energy if we keep dragging our mission on, and there’s a chance we could pick off some of the weaker genins if we start right away. Before another group does.” His voice was still high and androgynous by his young age, and he seemed to stiffen at the echo of it. There were so many more experienced genin in the chuunin exams than him. Passing the written exams had been a miracle.

For the first time, the young boy turned to his team and sized them up carefully. Each of the two appeared strong and able-bodied; it seemed that the task of stealing headbands was a joke. Anticipation prickled at the back of his neck and clenched his warm hands into fists. “We can’t lose. We won’t lose.” Determination radiated from Rinji.

ooc: are we going to use an NPC genin squad?

[Ronin]

(I guess we could since everyone else seems wrapped up. So I guess we just ask Anarchy)

Akatsuchi would be glad to see that Rinji was determined about their chances out there on the island turtle. First thing that they needed was to figure just how they were going to find some of the other teams. " Yea we'll be sure to get through this test. But we've gotta figure out how to lure out some ninja." Akatsuchi would say realizing they had to get their timing down perfectly. Attack too soon and there was a chance of getting ambushed by another team from the commotion but wait too long and the number of teams would decrease greatly making finding a team harder.

[Rothailithin]

Bakuhatsu looked around to make sure no one was around and then begin revealing her plan. "Why don't I use some explosive tags to get someone's attention while we wait nearby to pounce? We could even place some other explosives all over the place to detonate in a chain."

[Tobi]

"Explosive tags wont be needed, missy." A deep instigating voice would say from above. Three people standing in a tree looking at the Iwa group with eyes of death. "Our job is to kill an enemy team member, and looks like one of you would do nicely." The deep voice boy appeared to have teeth tattoos under his eyes and a baby wolf at his side. To his left was a grey eyed girl, and on his right was a boy with his face covered and glasses on.

[vanessa ☯]

Rinji's blue eyes steadily rose up into the decaying foliage to bore through the speaker's own occuli, and he silently sized up the three newcomers with a hard gaze. They would be formidable opponents, it seemed, with the added help of the young wolf and the determined focus of their given mission. His voice was level, "Then you'll have to get through me." His tone raised into a soft snarl, and the genin felt the back of his neck prickle with anticipation. The Iwagakure team had worked too hard and had gone too far to be beaten easily. With Rinji's fire, Akatsuchi's lava and Bakuhatsu's explosions, the attack would need to be a short-ranged and forceful. They don't know what they're dealing with, they haven't been watching us for long enough. Truthfully, he had not even seen his own teammates in true battle as of yet. But we haven't seen them either.
The boy stepped back, his muscles bunching for a spring, ready to form handseals if the other team was first to attack. He wished that they could have formed a formation beforehand, mixing the potency of their fiery releases, but neither team seemed to have the upper hand.

[Ronin]

Akatsuchi would look to the trees at their new arrivals. It looked like they didn't have to lure anyone out and instead enemies came right to their group. This was good since they wouldn't have to waste any extra energy in the first part. " I've got an idea on how we can limit their movement if you guys can get them down to the ground." Akatsuchi would say coming up with a plan eyeing their surroundings. If they could limit their enemy's movements, they could get what they wanted from them.

[Rothailithin]

"Alrighty then." Bakuhatsu reached into her backpack and took out marble sized pieces of her clay. She took enough out and rolled them into little balls, ready to toss at her opponents. As she waited for them to pounce, she charged them up with chakra so as to have them ready to detonate. "Your move."

[Tobi]

The boy with the wolf nodded as he turned his body slightly. "Fang over fang!" Him and his dog went into a spiral like attack aimed at Rinji. The dog and himself would try to strike Rinji down, and take out one of the groups members.

Leaping down from the branch the grey eyes girl would show veins popping from her eyes. "Byakugan!" She began to throw several striked at Akatsuchi. A palm towards his chest with her right hand, and two fingers towards his neck with her left. She aimed to strike the organs in his chest with the palm, and a chakra point in his neck with her fingers.

"Your chakra is mine!" The boy with the glasses said as bugs flew out his sleeves, a swarm heading for Bakuhatsu. If any in the mass were to land on her they would instantly begin to drain the chakra from her. Sucking away like she was some sort of juice box.

[vanessa ☯]

Rinji dipped his head at the acknowledgement of his teammate’s words, still silently watching the boy with red fang-like markings on his face. Two against one, that isn’t fair. He thought privately, smiling to himself. At the moment the boy and his wolf leaped down from the high branch, Rinji prepared the handseals to employ “Housenka no Jutsu!” and spewed a series of flames up into the air in every direction. He was surprised at how quickly the two partners spiralled down, surely to plummet onto the hard ground and crash into the Iwagakure genin.

Panicking at the sudden display of strength, the blond boy kicked off from the ground, landing several feet left to the battle’s clearing. He was only able to spew half of the fire chakra from his lips before hurdling away. While in the air, Rinji stole some time to draw a handful of kunai that were wrapped in explosive tags from his waist pouch, and enveloped the knives in the remaining fire chakra that was unused from jumping away. They were thrown towards the wolf, indistinguishable from the first set of housenka no jutsu. He only hoped his teammates were alright, although all of the boy's attention was focused on his own powerful opponent.

[Ronin]

From the look of things, Akatsuchi didn't have to worry about his teammates getting their opponents down from the trees as they had come down on their own. Big mistake for them, especially for a taijutsu user to be coming at him. Giving a quick set of handsigns Akatsuchi would lean forward. " Yoton. Lava Globs." Akatsuchi would say spitting three globs of lava forth around the attacking Hyuuga to block her path at various points. While he wasn't in it to cause damage, if she continued her current attack, she would be burned.

[Rothailithin]

Bakuhatsu tossed one of her clay marbles and tossed it into the shroud of insects. Once it reached the center, she detonated the clay. As this happened, she jumped to the side and prepared to rush towards the Aburame.

[Tobi]

With her Byakugan the girl would see the globs coming and all the spots they were going to hit around her. So moving around she sprinted to one side, then the other to avoid any fire. Her eyes seeing each step she took making sure her footing wouldn't hit the lava. In an attempt to get around she would burst to get around to Akatsuchi's backside and try and strike him in the Chakra points on his lower back.

Shocked a bit by the explosion the Aburame boy would continue to unleash swarms of bugs this trime trying to make a large extended wave instead of a ball like formation. He wanted to catch this girl in a shroud of bugs especially if she was going to charge him from the front.

While in the Fang over Fang the boy and his wolf pup would be safe from the flames as they continued to move at a high and powerful whirling speed towards Rinji. They wanted to land a hit even if they could only tackle Rinji's feet. Though staying in this formation was tiring them out ...
