12 Test and Results (1/2)

10 min later, Yamato was standing relaxed in front of them. But even with that there were no openings. As soon as the start signal was given. Saito threw a smoke bomb to hinder Yamato's vision. Directly the three of them jumped in different direction inside the forest area.

Yamato: ”Not bad for a firs move.”

Yamato started to observe his surroundings, trying to find any traces left by them. The academy training curriculum includes tracking training and stealth training. Yamato was quite satisfied with the results as the traces left by them where minimal.

Soon he started moving to look for them, and soon enough he found Akira who was crouching in a bush and warily observing his surroundings. Yamato smiled and created a Wood Clone to create a diversion while he captures Akira.

Akira was alarmed when he saw Yamato's clone passing near the bush he was hiding in. But to his surprise Yamato didn't seem to notice him. Just as he was about to relax he heard a voice near his ear. Turning his head he saw the most frightening thing in his life. Yamato was staring at him without blinking his eyes looked like a dead fishes eyes.

Yamato: ”You shouldn't put your guard down!”

=Deeper in the Forest=

Akane heard a harrowing scream coming for the other side of the forest.

Akane: ”That should be Akira's hiding place. I hope he's ok.”

Akane continued to move stealthily. Towards the meeting point that they decided on.

=Back to Yamato=

After capturing Akira he tied him upside-down to a tree. Akira kept struggling but the ropes where tight and even with the rope escape technique it will take him a while to free himself.

After insuring that Akira won't be able to free himself for the moment. He started looking to find his next victim. But to his surprise just as he was about to move he saw Akane heading towards him. He was shocked as he thought that the others won't make their move just yet.

Akane started throwing a barrage of kunais and shuriken at Yamato he deflected them easily and even reflected some of them. Akane was not aiming at Yamato alone but also at the rope tying Akira. But Yamato was fast and deflected by throwing his own kunais. Seen here first plan fail she started to make hand signs rapidly and just as Yamato was about to stop her she finished.

Akane: ”Demonic illusion: Hell viewing Technique.”
