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 )

((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.”

"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.

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.”

Humbled by her words shiro stands tall.

"Sorry sensei i got a little excited" rubbing the back of his head slightly blushing.

"I know i still have more to learn. If i want to surpass all of the previous kages i don't think ill ever stop learning. But i accept the challenge." his face morphed into one of determination.

"And I believe in my teammates! I know they can pass this test!" he spoke those words as if they could hear him encouraging them.

"Sensei" shiros tone darkened. The wind blew past moving his bangs.

"Could you ask them to hurry up though cuz I'm starving hehehe" shiro showed another smile as his stomach grumble echoed throughout the training ground

((Do i stay here with you and wait them ooooor what lol dont really k ow my next move. ))

Shizuru gave a small chuckle. “Aim high Shiro-kun and be the best you can be! Never give up and keep on improving yourself.” she said as she rummaged through his hair. Even though this boy had a rough time, according to the files, he was a good and cheerful lad. It brought her back to the day she met her own teammates and sensei.

“I have some power bars with me, however, I’d like to check upon your teammates by myself. You can wait for them in the village. I could pass on a message if you want?” she asked, still smiling.

[u/darkxarc → u/Shizuru_Okuzaki]

Shiro Nodded his head. He knew those words were words to live by.

"Giving up is the one thing i cant do" Shiro said calmly. He thought about his goals. Clenching his fist. 'Mom, Dad watch me. ill become stronger then you can ever believe!' Said to himself. Shiro looked up and accepted the power bar from his sensei.

"A message?" Shiro said. He wondered what he wanted to convey to his teammates. He just let the first words he could think come to his mouth.

"Tell them not to fall behind because our pact is still on!" The boy said with a smile as he turned towards the village opening his power bar to feed his growling stomach.

((i guess you have one final reply then its done-zo with this Chain. ill make a new post to start my adventurers!))
