Byakuran suddenly felt the oncoming rush...a strange sensation falling around him. Genjutsu...but... it was so powerful. He couldn't even began to cast it off. It was an illusion that was too great to merely throw off and he hadn't yet mastered the technique which allowed one to use their own chakra... he suddenly however...fell cold. The leaves flowed up around him, but his focus was already supplanted on the figure towering over him...towering over him...

"Hn..." the cold eyes of Senkyoku Otobe...no, the Black sonata, stared down at him, his face covered in blood. "Wow...are you still alive...? That's surprising." Byakuran was frozen, he couldn't even move. It was just an illusion...he wasn't really here. This wasn't real. "I thought you'd be dead for sure Bya-nii. What's the matter...you're shaking." his voice seemed to be without soul...without feeling. "Is it this...?" he slowly held up their mother's head. "Oh...sorry about that...I meant to throw it away...oops..." his face still empty, he almost childishly tossed the bleeding remains aside. "So...why are you just standing there? You should be killing that girl."

"I..." Byakuran couldn't think straight, all he saw, all he could comprehend, was his brother standing before him. "Senkyo-nii..." he couldn't even see anything else anymore.

"You should just kill her. Get it over with. Geeeez. You're always so slow Bya-nii. Just cut her into pieces...it's easy. Promise."

"I...don't want to hurt them." Byakuran's words surprised even himself.

"Oooooh? You don't? But you have to. You're an Otobe. Otobe's obey and do as the clan commands. Don't you want to be like me?"

"No...I don't...I won't become LIKE YOU! You...YOU KILLED ALL HOSE PEOPLE FOR NO REASON!! WHY!!!??? THEIR SOUNDS FOREVER SILENCED!"

Senkyo tilted his head oddly. "Why...? Do I need a reason...? Because Papa told me too. But don't worry Bya-kun. I love you more than Papa. That's why when they sent you away I ripped them into pieces...did you get the letter? Do you know?"

Byakuran was trembling, his face covered in terror. "You...yes...I know..."

"See? So there's nothing to worry about. I'll always protect you. Just obey the clan's wishes. Send them the jutsu in your coat to them...rip these people apart and burn their village...only we of the clan are fit to rule over our fellow man. Obey. You...are an Otobe."

"I...I...." Byakuran's eyes seemed to bulge slightly. 'I am an Otobe'
'I will obey'
'I have no will'
'I am nothing'
I am...a puppet...'

"Are these...supposed to be my thoughts...that I am nothing...that I am a puppet...?" Byakuran's eyes seemed to grow even darker.



"No...I...I will kill every last one of you...I will kill all those who walk this earth who can hear as I hear, who sing with this same accursed voice...I...WILL KILL THE OTOBE!!!" He felt weak...trembling, but his eyes were seeing red. All he could see was his brother before him, his brother, the monster...the tool of the clan. "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!!!!"

There was a roar of chakra around the boy's frame as water ripped the moist earth, the air around him, and from his own chakra, gathering together in a strange hiss of killer intent and chakra, the boy was quite suddenly far from alone on the battle field.

Surrounding him now, containing the bulk if not all of the boy's chakra, were 13 Water clones to join the one that he had already had on the field. The 14 Byakurans, joined with the original, made a total of 15 on the field, and all of them besides the original still had their head in the game. Byakuran's plan was simple...it was, in a word, his only chance at actual success in this task. Though the clones were individually weak, though he had only put in the minimum chakra to sustain them, as together, as a division, as a unit, they had a far better chance at grabbing the Charm then they ever would actually trying to engage this woman head on, and actually harming a ninja so far above him in skill level was absurd. But...the best that they could do was all they could do...and this was all that they could do... they charged, grabbing for the charm, they're only prayer at victory through luck and numbers.

"You know"

"Sensei"

"we aren't foolish enough"

"To think we have a prayer at so much"

"As putting a scratch on that pretty face of yours."

"Not that we find your face pretty..."

"Because...we don't..."

"Maybe a little..."

"The point is that we know well that this is a fight we cannot win...so our victory our only hope...is to lay just one hand...ON THAT CHARM!" the clones rushed forward, darting like a wave of advancing...Byakurans, rather, their hands moving forth rapidly in a mad attempt to snatch the charm... the wave passed, the clones scattering as each of them held their hands open, empty...

Save one. The First Clone, the one that that had been closest and already tried to grapple her seemed to have used the others as a distraction... and with a smirk, he held up the charm. "Heh...I suppose miracles do happen..."

The technique creates clones out of water. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Additionally, water clones only have a fraction of the original person's power. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water.

After suffering the first wave of her genjutsu, the boy had clearly become desperate. She watched as he summoned up the remainder of his chakra in an attempt to grab the charm. Despite her keen intellect, keeping track of 15 moving enemies was an incredible difficult feet for one with a sensory technique. While she was busy dodging all of them one of the clones managed to loose the charm from her belt. Once the clone had it in hand, the charm was raised up high in victory for the others to see. [Reflex check DC :38 vs 27, failed] The words "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu" punctuated the words "miracles do happen" as Yuriko's hand shot out of the ground and grabbed the leg of clone. She then pulled it down so that only the clone's raised arm was above the surface. With the clone rendered immobile she snatched the charm back and tied it back to her side again. During the attack off all the clones, she had used the Kawarimi no Jutsu and switched out with a log. Due to the clone holding up the charm she was able to easily identify her target and quickly perform the Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu. Good effort kid... she thought as she looked for Byakuran to finish the bout.

[int check: 24 vs 8 + 9 + 1D20]
Due to sheer number of clones and her switch to the underground she had lost track of the real one among the copies, so despite her best efforts he would remain hidden for just a little while longer. So how good is your endurance after making all those clones Byakuran-kun? she asked herself.

Tenshi continued looking around, watching out for any bomb tags. He spotted Mizuiro hiding a good distance away. "See you over there Mizuiro-san! Pretty good, but now it's my turn!" He turned to run off and hide, but ran into a bomb tag. He tried to dodge it, but he was too late. The bob tag went off and sent Tenshi flying. He hit the ground pretty hard, and he was slightly dizzy. Damn... that kind of hurt... Now to go hide...

Training: Hide and Seek
Details: Mizuiro and Tenshi have been instructed to play hide and seek. Each turn the seeker will roll 1D20 + Awareness vs 1D20 + Stealth. Both genin may use what ever jutsu they wish to aid in hiding. However there's a surprise waiting in those woods. Hidden throughout the area where the game is being played are dummy explosive tags. They don't pack much of a punch but are quite loud and will knock someone on their but. When ever you roll a 1, multiple of 3, or multiple of 5, excluding 10 & 20, (1,3,5,9,12,15, and 18 will cause an explosion) you must roll to make a reflex save (DC: 12). Failing the reflex save results in -2Hp and a -4 to your check for the turn. Keep track of all your success below.
Hid:
Found: 1
Dodged a mine: 1
d20 + Awareness (9) = 27 vs. 16 (Pass)
Rex Save: 6 + 5 = 11 vs. 12 (Fail)
((2nd roll for tag if needed))

Sense Motive: 12 vs 46 + 17 | 63 Pass

Is he.... no.... there's no way.... I've got to have fallen asleep and this is a dream... she pulled on her own cheek, Nope, I'm not dreaming... he's actually on a monologue. If she was the expressive type Yuriko would have just slapped her forehead. She couldn't believe it, in the middle of a fight the kid stopped to give a speech. Despite how ridiculous she thought it was she listened to him spill his thoughts out onto the battlefield. As she listened she could hear honest pain in his voice, something that she herself was somewhat familiar with, though he spoke of what might have been ties to the Otobe, she ignored those for now. If her genjutsu had caused him to see loyalty to the Otobe then, maybe he was conflicted. Along with that he never said their name so it wasn't concrete. When he was finished speaking she calculated which one was the real one based on subtle delays in their voices, and where she predicted he would stand among the clones. With her mind made up that she had the real one, Yuriko made her move. The earth exploded outward as she burst out of the ground in front of Byakuran. Her hand moved as if to punch but instead slapped his cheek. In the moment of contact she released the genjutsu. "Baaaka..." she said with an impersonation that made her sound like some of the girls around the village. Back in her normal voice she continued "I said you could double team me not have a gang bang." That awful sense of humor... though she used it so often it might just be becoming part of her vocabulary.

Music Change
"Byakuran-kun you... think to much." she told him. "I guess I should mention that time to get the charm is over...." she informed him haphazardly like an after thought, though she didn't say the test was over. "My genjutsu... are only seeds. They grow from within you..." she hinted to him. What ever he saw had come from within himself. Her blank face staring into his from only a foot away. "Your thoughts... are making you chase ghosts..." Her hand reached down and loosed the red string, allowing her to hold up the charm to his face. Sewed on the front of the charm were the words, "Leave Luck to Heaven". From this distance Byakuran could clearly see the words on the charm. After giving him time to read the front she opened the charm and produced a piece of paper, "I'll grasp victory using nothing but my mind and heart." "Never leave anything to chance..." she said. "Byakuran-kun you're strategy got lucky and worked temporarily but you had no way to pull out... Now what if you had hid for twenty-nine minutes and then made an attempt at the charm? If the rush worked you would have had the charm at the end of 30 minutes." She then put the charm back together and pocketed it. She backed up a little bit and sat down, she motioned for him to do the same.

"Before I give you the results of the test... tell me what you learned."

Byakuran's eyes widened as he felt the vibrations from the earth just a moment before his sensei emerged, the girl's hair flapping slightly as she rose up before him...w-wait...why was he focused on her hair?! Why did girl's who were trying to cause him harm DO this to him?!

"I said you could double team me not have a gang bang."



The Byakuran's, all of them, struck an identical expression at this. "B-b-but I wasn-"

Then the slap came, Byakuran's expression turning to one of surprise. For an otobe...sensations were different then for other people. A touch to them was a universe of difference. They didn't feel pain in the same way, their second selves processing and interpreting it as it did everything...it was what allowed them to actually process all the sensory input that was constantly facing them. As the girl's hand sent a series of sudden vibrations throughout his secondary sensory system, he felt every inch of the hand, every moment of the sudden movement. His face had turned to one of blank bewilderment even as he processed the experience. Normally a single blow wouldn't have given him so much pause...but for some reason this...pun not intended, struck him.

As his sensei went on with her explanation, he wasn't using his eyes to observe the scene anymore, merely listening as his clones all watched the girl for him. They didn't have a hive mind as such, but his hearing was much better than his eyes anyway...and he was thinking deeply over what she said.

Finally he opened his eyes and looked at her sidelong.



"There was no point in hiding from someone whom would always know your location. That was my thought... are you saying that I was wrong...? I suppose there may have been the smallest chance, but I would have had to delay my Clone technique, and your genjutsu further debilitated me...I no longer had the option to run...it had to be finished quickly, or I wouldn't last..." then came the sting to her speech...the true question. What he had learned.

Byakuran seemed to pause for a time, giving this matter consideration. "I learned that this test was not a test. It was a lesson. Or perhaps a test within a lesson. You were attempting to teach me something...though I can only guess what that might be." he narrowed his eyes in thought. "I learned that you likely specialize in Genjutsu...or at the least are adept in their use. I learned that my strategies when employed allowed me to surprise a Jounin...that was unexpected. I did not believe that I had but the smallest chance of touching that charm...but I managed it. I learned that Jounin opponents, though still far beyond me, are still human, and make mistakes...or I would never ahave been allowed to touch that charm...clone or not."

He looked down at his own hand. "I...suppose until now I merely saw people of your skill level as unbeatable,...monsters, perhaps..." he seemed to sink into deeper thought for a moment. "demons." He then returned his gaze to her. "I realize now that was an error in judgement...it is merely a vast differential in skill and raw ability. Both things experience can bridge. I have learned that I apparently can be easily distracted by....things..." he shifted his eyes slightly at this before resuming a more serious repose once again. "That I think too much, and what it is that I fear most."

Byakuran closed his eyes again for a moment before opening them again with more conviction.



"Why Sensei...? What was I supposed to learn...? From your lesson...the most obvious truth that you have displayed here, is that you are strong. But..." he hesitated on how he could explain it. "That...was apparent to me merely by proxy of what you are. You are Jounin..." he said it more as though he was talking about a thing. He remembered the souless look on his brother's face, the bodies scattered about everywhere, the debacle of a "Knight" exam that lead to his brother becoming a Jounin so young... "This is a concept that is already known to me..." he fell into a lack luster silence...
