ANBU 101 [Class]

[Haku Yuki]

The clone felt the ground shake as Hiroshi fist impacted with the earth below them, his harness the power of and formed a spiral of sand around the boy's fist sending the sand storm directly towards it. Having little to no time to react the clone jumped back trying its hardest avoid the oncoming attack. Thinking back the clone seemed to have underestimated the Hiroshi's abilities, the clone caught the attack on the shoulder feeling the sand impact with its body.

"You saw right through my disguise, Mistress will be very impressed." The clone returned to its original form brushing off the sand of the last attack from its robes. "However I can't have you running off and telling the others," The clone summoned water from the moisture in the earth itself creating a small ball around its hand, "I am sorry Hiroshi," The clone sent a piercing spiral of water towards the boy, it watched as the water impacted sending the boy flying backwards through the air hitting the ground with a thud. It walked over to the boy on the floor kneeling down to him "Once you have recovered and your friends have found you tell them that the lesson is over and your tutor waits for you in the clearing." The clone dissipated into the air leaving Hiroshi alone.

The Hiroshi clone looked at the group that had now formed around it, it knew it didn't know that answer to Megu question so it had two option either guess or surrender guessing would end in a high probability of it getting the answer wrong which would end in it being attacked, however, surrender eliminated the possibility of the student attacking it. So far the clone had been impressed by the group's ability to see through its deception, while, granted, it probably made some mistakes in the masquerade but regardless they had been eagled eyed in spotting them it saw little point in attacking or being attack by the group.

"Fine," The clone sighed as it held its arm into the air to show the children it meant the no harm, morphing back into the form of the ANBU "I surrender you have caught me congratulations." It sat down on the ground holding its hand behind its head, "I wouldn't celebrate just yet you are still one down and we are still one up" It grinned menacingly to Megu in particular. "So Megu, what are you going to do about that friend of yours that you care about so much?" It laughed a little "I'd better hurry up and find him who knows what fate he would have befallen" Before the group has time to react the Ice Clone that was wearing Hiroshi's face disappears the same way that it was manifested.

[Shirai Sadao]

Watching the clone closely Yukio wasn’t sure at first how it would react to the question asked of it, knowing that if it decided to go after them there was only so much he could do to prevent it hurting them. The most he could do was act as a barrier between his fellow pupils and the clone as little as it may help in this situation.

As the clone spoke he increased his attention to the area around them as well, hoping to hear if the real Hiroshi was anywhere nearby.

“We have to regroup if this turns nasty but….”

Before he could finish the thought the clone dissipated, giving a slight sigh of relief as it did as he was not completely prepared for the punishment that could most likely be dished out by their teacher.

As much as he wanted to take a short time to rest after the tension was lifted from his shoulders he knew there would be no chance, Hiroshi was still out there and needed some help. Running off into the woods where he thought he had heard Hiroshi cry out for them stopping to find him after seeing he’d been thrown from some form of Jutsu walking over to look at the soaked boy to check his condition but not experienced in any form of medical techniques he didn’t think he would be of much help to the boy.

Looking over his shoulder to see if anyone had followed him into the forest to look for their friend though he remained on alert for all one clone had dissipated before them he wasn’t sure about the other, constantly looking over his shoulder to make sure this wasn’t another trap.

[Naru Hiroshi]

Hiroshi felt a momentary thrill of victory as his attack struck, but this feeling was quickly banished as he watched his attack hurt his foe, but do nothing more. The form of Megu transformed back into that of the groups tutor as she began to talk, apologising before blasting the young boy with a ball of water. The silver-haired youth flew backwards and landed in a heap on the ground and, thinking quickly, decided that he would pretend to be more injured than he was. His act appeared to be effective as the clone approached him and spoke before dissipating into nothingness.

That kind of hurt.

Hiroshi's act of being injured was clearly effective as Yukio turned up and looked down at him, concern clear on his face. The silver-haired boy opened his eyes quickly, looking up at the other boy's concerned face and shouting.

”BOO!”

Childishness aside, Hiroshi grinned to himself and rose to his feet, shaking his head to clear some of the water out of his hair before looking over at the other boy again.

”Hey there, thanks for following up. The clone said we could head back to the clearing to meet up with the tutor. Let's grab the others and go shall we?”

[Megumareta]

Megu laughed as the clone didn't even try and guess an answer, instead admitting it was a clone and changing back to it's original form. He paused for a second and smiled, but before he could celebrate with the group he felt something grip his stomach.

t's right, Hiroshi's still out there...

As it happened Yuukio had the same thought and rushed past the on lookers into the woods towards where Hiroshi had fled, and where shouts had come from. In an instant he sprinted after the young nin, and caught up just in time to see Hiroshi laying on the floor. The grip on his stomach tightened as he started at the boys form on the floor, before;

"Boo!"<i></i>

He watched as Hiroshi opened his eyes and shouted up, before climbing up to his feet and joining them.Half of him wanted to punch Hiroshi, the real Hiroshi, for his little act, but a bigger part of him was stifling a grin at the whole charade. Classic Hiroshi. Megu was still feeling rather paranoid after the whole clone fiasco however,


"Lessons over? Nice... but that's something like a clone might say leading us back to the clearing towards a trap!"


He stretched and offered up a smile to the group before he started to walk towards the clearing. Clone or not, he was pretty much done for the day. As much as he did consider the possibility that this could be a Hiroshi clone, the way the "clone" acted trying to surprise Yukio made him feel that it probably was Hiroshi after all. Although you never could be too careful with the Anbu. He turned to see if anyone was following, not wanting to be too hasty and go off alone. If they were he'd carry on to the clearing either to find out whether this rally was the end of the mission, or maybe a final showdown, but if h found himself alone he'd scurry back towards the group.

[Kanagawa Nozomi]

So, the clone finally vaporized and their intuition was correct on the identity of who was before them. A sigh of relief washed over Kaori as the doppelganger disappeared from view. Kaori smiled and looked over the other three and nodded towards all of them. "Good job, everyone!" she said as she fist pumped in victory. As she did this, the other two boys took off like a bolt of lightning into the woods, leaving her behind.

She puffed out her cheeks in annoyance and took a deep breath in and started to run in the direction that the other two boys did. She arrived a little later than usual, only to hear Megu's summary of what Hiroshi had said. She came to a sliding halt only to slouch over and place her hands upon her knees to catch her breath. "Almost had me with that clone though," Kaori mentioned. She would have been fooled if it wasn't for Megu having been skeptical about the clone's identity. While she had her suspicions, she would have bought the charade and have been completely fooled especially because she didn't really know the boy. It was really the timing of the events laid out by the clone that gave everything away.

Megu decided to walk his way back to the clearing where the instructor was. Taking another sharp breath in, Kaori stood up and made her way towards the clearing as well. She didn't want to be left behind again. It was time to wrap this class up.​

[Haku Yuki]

Yuki walked into the clearing. from the distance, she could hear the chatter of the student regrouping after the lesson. She found a large tree located pretty central to the open space, leading again the tree she began fanning herself with her hand enjoying the cooling shade of the forest canopy. The group slowly filed into the clearing the newest addition to the class coming up the rear, the Haku looked at them grinning under the white ANBU mask that covered her face.

“Congratulations, you were all able to see through my clones deception.” She kicked her heel off from the tree standing up straight looking at them, she looked a Hiroshi looking at his less than dry state. "I hope that you weren’t hit too hard, it looks like that clone got a little over zealous”. She would have handed the boy a towel if she had one to hand but she didn’t. "So this concludes the lesson for today, you are all one step closer to becoming ANBU in training. I will send you all a communication to arrange your next lesson please do come prepared as I will be teaching you the finer points of combat” Yuki walked away from the group out of the clearing, she could feel the bright sun raining down on her body, she jumped disappearing into the morning sun leaving the small gathering of students alone.

[Megumareta]

Megu laughed a little as the Anbu admitted defeat and completed the lesson, although he was still still slightly worried about this being yet another clone. Turns out his paranoi is something that never abates despite what the Anbu might say. Either way he was happy they'd passed and more than happy the lesson had finished. The one main thing he'd taken was making up a password between their little group to make sure there was no further misunderstandings on any future mission. He wiped the sweat that had gathered from his brow, glad that this wasn't a trap. After being given leave he would turn to the others,
"Thank you for the mission sensei, and thanks guys, we smashed it." He would laugh and smile towards the others and half wive as he left.
"If anyone wants to train give me a shout, I work at Suo's most days but after this i need some stress relief."

Megu would walk away from the group, satisfied that not only had he learnt a lesson, but he'd made some new friends, or rivals...

[Topic Left- Thanks guys it's been fun!]

 

[Shirai Sadao]

Yukio sighed almost wanting to chop Hiroshi on the head for the little joke but was relieved he was still fine for the most part looking around the forest he couldn't bring himself to be completely sure this was the end of the test and if it was they had been let off with just a taste of what a fully fledged member of the Anbu was capable of. Turning his attention back to Hiroshi as Megu joined them not a moment later he let out a deep sigh before chuckling slightly.

"I see then we best head back, wouldn't want to keep her waiting lest she drench us all."

Following the rest of the students back to the clearing crossing his arms as they were reunited with the real body of their teacher though if this was a clone too he would not be shocked, it seemed as if this was both a lesson in pursuit but also one of deception and seeing through the traps of your enemies.

He attempted to hold back a slight laugh at her comment at Hiroshi looking at his soaked state as a snicker finally escaped him. This was soon dismissed when he heard the teacher continue speaking somewhat pleased that they would be receiving their next lesson so soon after the last and one about combat no less.

As she left them standing in the field he took a moment to wonder who or what they would be using to test their combat skills, today had been less combat training and more a one-sided beatdown if it had come down to a fight. With this knowledge in mind, he walked away from the field ready to do anything possible to make himself stronger before the next lesson was to take place.
