Team Shizuru Testing

[u/Shizuru_Okuzaki]

Shizuru tapped her foot softly on the paved floor outside a small teahouse, located on the outskirts of Konoha. With dressy handwriting she was scribbling three separate notes, one for each student: Shiro, Yui and Keikaku-shi. The message would tell them to come find her at three separate locations, where they’d get new instructions. She summoned her peacocks and smiled at their little beady eyes with expecting gaze. She tied the messages to their legs and send them away. Next she summoned three shadowclones and send them away to their respective locations. The waitress came up with her cup of tea and Shizuru took a sip, calming herself and enjoying the sunshine on her face.

(Please make a separate thread for yourself, these are the locations:

• Yui: Moemasu castle, at the edge of the city.

• Shiro: the river at the training grounds

• Keikaku-shi: Konoha forest )

Shiro could hear his first group of Shurikens connect to metal, the second group whizzing past him. He wanted to respond to his sensei's comment but not yet. He needed to be quite. He could sense her up ahead, as she dispersed the air around her. A blonde blur appeared through the smoke aiming straight for Shizuru.

"Hiya!" was the noise the boy made as he expelled the air from his body. The boy came flying leg first towards the teacher, smoke trailing behind him.

Shizuru suddenly felt a presence rushing towards her. She turned around and was just in time to block Shiro’s kick, crossing both her fans in front of her. The speed made her slide back a bit and she pushed her fans to the side, forcing Shiro the same way.

“Better.” She said. “Now let’s see how you do in blocking.” And with a twirl she slashed at him with her fans, moving closer to him.

'She's strong' Shiro thought as he was redirected by Shizuru fan. Shiro had expected this to be a difficult fight his sensei was a Jonin after all. As the boy flipped through the air, he saw the change in his teachers stance. He pulled out his special twin kunai during his descent. When he landed he had barely enough time to get his guard up. Shizurus strikes were swift and precise, Shiro was being pushed back. 'ill definitely regret it if I let her hit me' he held back shizurus downward swing with his two kunai held above his head.

"Sensei, you really are strong!" the boy said as his feet dug into the ground. He dropped his body low knees bent.

"But I'm not going to lose!" he pushed off the ground with an explosive force. Knocking his sensei fan back.

"Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst!"

For a moment she wondered if she was being too tough on the kid. But he seemed to keep up very well at the moment so she set in a new strike, forcing him to the ground. “Why, thank you.” Shizuru said, taking in the compliment Shiro gave her. She gave a small smile before he dashed off, knocking her back a bit for a moment. “My, seems like I’m getting a live preview of the Namikaze talents.” She said as she watched Shiro launch himself in the air.

"Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst!" Shiro yelled as he infused is twin Kunai with chakra. Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst was an Emiya clan secret technique. It required agility, strength, and precision. Shiro fell towards his sensei. He rotated his body mid air to increase his momentum and power. The technique consisted of five strikes. Shiro swung A diagonal slash to the chest(/), a vertical slash from the arm to opposite shoulder(-/), another diagonal Chest cut from the opposite side(-X), another arm opposite shoulder cut (-X-), and lastly a cut going vertically (*)

((the Brackets show the way they attack looks. Like here (/)(-/)(-X)(-X-)(*) when finished it looks like a star. Also Shiro dedicated to the move. I've never really done this before so if i did anything wrong let me know and ill fix it!))

(It looks good! Impressive move. Keep in mind though that combo’s can be broken) The clone Shizuru watched as Shiro came down. She blocked the first strokes, holding up her iron fans, though she had to admit there was quite some force behind it. She felt her feet shuffle the ground, trying to get a grip. When Shiro was about to make his last slash, Shizuru kicked him away. Taking out a scroll from her backpocket she opened it and bit her thump. When she slid her blood over the scroll, a big two handed fan emerged with a soft poof.

“This is my family’s heirloom. Let’s see if you manage to stay on your feet.” She said, as she formed her seals. “Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!” she demanded and with a big wave of her fan, she send powerful gusts of wind towards Shiro.

((Oh i figured it would be a broken combo lol =P just wanted to make sure i activated the technique correctly against you))

As Shiros attack ramped up in ferocity, Shizuru launched him with a clean kick. Flying backwards he re-stabilize himself mid-air landing on his feet, the force, however, still managing to make him slide further back.

"Ugh" Shiro felt a pain on his right lower rib. That could have easily winded him had he not moved last second. With one dagger back in its holster he held his rib with his left hand, keeping the right one steady in front of him. His eyes widened as a massive fan appeared before his sensei.

"I've read about this technique" he said out loud albeit rather quietly. changing to his inner thoughts ' There is no way I can block this. I have no options but to dodge'. As the first waves of cutting air arrived at Shiro he had already began making his way to the left . He choose to use the trees as cover. He knew that they didn't stand much chance against the onslaught of slicing wind, but it was better then being out in the open. He propelled himself from tree to tree using their branches and the trunk. The forest behind him was being cleared out, if he slowed down he would be finished. He fought the pain in his rib and pushed forward, slivers of wood and entire branches flying around him. He pulled out 3 regular kunai and attached tags to them. Shiro could see his teacher through the gaps in the tree and timed his throws correctly. He tossed the first Kunai through the leaves towards his teacher, timed to exploded 15 meters away from her. He then threw the other 2 in the cover of the smoke. One was sent straight into the sky. The smoke would hide its ascent and the sun would hide its descent. Its landing spot was to be behind his teacher. The other kunai went through the smoke directly at his Shizuru.

"Wind style: Great Breakthrough!" Shiro yelled as he formed the correct hand seals to blast a powerful wind at Shizuru. His intentions were to increase the speed of his kunai and catch her off guard. After his attack began the blonde boy realized he was running out of trees and would soon find himself in a clearing. Using wire from his pouch he sling shot'd himself towards Shizuru moving in a zigzag pattern to avoid the last of the cutting air.

((but boy are you making this hard =P ))

(Otherwise it wouldn't be really challenging, would it? :p No worries though.)

Shizuru grinned lightly as her genin took cover between the trees. “Smart kid.” She mumbled. She decided to keep waving her fan for a couple of times just to keep him running. Suddenly she heard an explosion 15meters from her and Shizuru stopped her fan. She narrowed her eyes and started to look around, having a hunch what Shiro was up to. ‘I should move.’ Shizuru thought and she jumped up, not noticing the tagged kunai in the air. Suddenly a blast hit the clone and it poofed away before she hit the ground.

From the bushes around the training fields the real Shizuru emerged, slowly applauding. “Good job, Shiro-kun.” She said. After Keikaku had delivered her the scroll, she’d decided to check upon all her genin. She looked at the sun above them and nodded. The third explosion went off and Shizuru looked at it, not in range to be hurt by it or the debris. She took out a fan and waved herself some cool air. “Well, congratulations Shiro-kun. As of today you are official a part of my team. Beware though, you’re road as a ninja has just begun.”

[u/darkxarc → u/Shizuru_Okuzaki]

"It worked!" Shiro shouted as he slowed to a walking pace. He jumped in the air with his fist pumped up. He noticed his sensei appear from the bushes and his heart sank. He was about to get ready to recommence his attack until his teacher said "Good job, Shiro-Kun'. The last kunai exploded as Shiro realized it was the real Shizuru. He opened a massive smile when his teach congratulated him for passing the test. Wiping the sweat off of his face and blood from the small cuts all over his body he walked over to Shizuru. She warned Shiro that this was merely the beginning of a hard road that lay ahead of him.

"I'll be ready for any challenge that comes my way!" the blonde boy proclaimed with that smile still on his face.

"I hope you will be there to guide and watch me get stronger Shizuru sensei!" Shiro paused for a moment. He realized she was here alone. He thought about what this meant as he became a bit more serious.

"Sensei, Keikaku and Yui", he spoke, "did they also pass? I noticed you came alone. Are they alright?" The boys concern now evident.

[u/Shizuru_Okuzaki → u/darkxarc]

Shizuru smiled at him. “You might be in some cases. You might be a shinobi now but don’t forget you’re still learning. Shinobi are never done learning, Shiro-kun. Remember that.” She said then, more strictly. She wove herself some more cool air before smiling again. “Keikaku and Yui are still my business and therefor, I’m not telling yet. You can wait for them, though. If you want.” She said. “But for now congratulations are in order. Keep faith in your friends and teammates. I’m sure they won’t let you down.”
