Batafurai stayed suprisingly quiet on the trip to the farm, and through instructions. When the group was given the tasks, her fist flew into the air. "I call milking!"
When the elder had given the Kumo-nin a bucket, she focused on lowering her chakra levels and ran to the cow sheds at normal speed. Batafurai whistled as she sat on the stool beside a cow and fed the fresh milk into the pail. There you go, Daisy!" She commented, giving the cow a pat. She moved over to the other cows and got to work. Nicknaming all of the cows different names, such as 'Fredina', 'Doolit' and 'Ruddager', she struggled to carry the bucket to each one as more milk was added.

Milking, sowing, and weeding taken- Ran was left with feeding the animals. After getting instructions of what food to give to who, and how much, she nodded and silently walked off to complete her task. She usually kept her chakra levels as low as she could, anyways, lest not risk doing something she regretted with any of her bone. If she softened it too much while she worked on certain things could be really bad, and hardening it would sometimes cause her to slow down with their weight.
Ran grabbed some hay, and walked over to give it to a horse. She continued making these trips back and fourth, in no real hurry, and sometimes even pausing to stare at the animals she fed wearily. Her coughing had started up a little worse as she stirred up dust, and such, but she kept it down as much she could while working on her task. Eventually, she went in to feed the cows with some hay, and she noted how many of them Batafurai had milked already. With how Isaaku and she are working, I'll be the last one done. she thought to herself.
Uncaring, though picking up her pace a little, Ran finished with the cows, and went around back with a pail of seed to toss out to the chickens.

The twins laughed a little. This was an interesting way to test them. They held back and looked at Shinji's progress. He was a fairly interesting fighter, but they were more interested in the jonin. She had a very interesting teleportation technique, not to mention a fairly good mastery of shadow clone, but her chakra must be running low by now since she divides her chakra in half every time she uses that particular technique. They remained casual obserers, projecting the illusion that they were still fighting the two clones.

Shinji narrowly avoided the kunai, which grazed his cheek. He jumped back and performed a string of hand seals, in the pattern of rat, dragon, serpent, bird. Five mid-sized white shuriken appeared in fromt of Shinji. He thrust his hands in Mayumi's direction, sending the shuriken flying at her at a quick pace.

Her kunai connected and Mayumi felt it within the string. Immediately, however, she drew it back because she felt time-space distortions in front of her. To her it can only mean that her opponent had summoned something from nothing. And from feeling the wind around her, it seemed like whatever Shinji had summoned was charging at her.
Forming a half-sign of the rabbit, she gathered chakra in her foot again and used Ashibumi to move herself onto a nearby wall. Then, forming the half-sign of the monkey, used Dozukuri in order for her to maintain her sense of plane, stability and balance while standing parallel to the ground on the wall. Since the other end of her weapon was still coming back, she swung the opposite end around and threw it forwards, hoping to narrowly miss Shinji by a couple inches.

Shinji didn't bother to steer his shuriken toward Mayumi. Instead, he waited for her next strike. When the kunai got within range, Shinji swung at the string with his kodachi, causing the kunai to wrap around it. That was too close, he thought.
Shinji gave himself three options: First, he could yank Mayumi's kunai toward him, hoping to disarm her. That was certainy doable. Second, Shinji could pull his kodachi out of the string's grip and charge at Mayumi again. He already tried the sword. That was out of the question. Third, he could drop the kodachi and use his Genjutsu. The only thing wrong with that was that he would have to use the Genjutsu, which takes quite a toll on him.
Decisions, decisions... Shinji decided to take the riskiest option. He performed the seal of the bird, followed by that of the boar. Shinji focucused as much chakra as he could to push down on Mayumi.

His genin divided the tasks themselves by 'dibbing,' essentially first-come-first-serve. Seeing that his squad had taken to their tasks, Yuki spied a fence on the edge of the elder's property that was in disrepair. Giving himself something to do other than monitor his genin, he proceeded to walk over to said fence. On his way, he grabbed a few supplies from anearby shed, some nails and a few logs. Arriving at the broken fence and plopping down, he inspected the rotting logs and rusty nails. Taking his bo from his back, he used it to pry each nail out. Though he could have simply built up chakra in his arms to rip the logs off manually, he felt that he too should follow the guidelines he set for his genin. Having all the bad nails removed, he yanked off the logs, which were still lossely held in place by mold.
Before rebuilding the section of fencing, he looked back over his shoulder. Isaaku was busy planting seeds in one of the two fields ready for planting, having not yet finished it. The elder certainly knows farming. 2 fields fallow, 2 fields for planting, 2 fields just starting growth, 2 fields close to ripening, and 2 having already been harvested and ready for flipping. The 4 fields that need weeding will take longer for Isaaku than the planting. He looked the other way over his shoulder to see Ran and Batafurai in the open barn. Batafurai was busy milking away on the various milkable livestock and Ran was taking her time feeding the animals. Batafurai, for all her energy, certainly is fast in performing her duties. That bucket will fill up quick, meaning many trips to the silo. Ran's feeding the non milkable animals currently; she'll soon get to the milkable ones, which are more plentious. He now turned to the silo, situated just to the side of the elder's house. It was more than a normal silo, for it contained all the food produced on this land. Grain was stockpiled and kept dry, vegetables and fruits were either left in a cool cellar or pickled, and eggs and milk were kept in cooled compartments.
He again turned back to the hole in the fence and began to reconstruct. Positioning each nail carefully and making sure ech log was steady, he hammered with his bo. In time, his self-appointed task was completed. He stood, stretching his back and replacing his bo on his back. Turning to his genin, who were all nearing completion of their tasks, he simply observed and waited.

The other genin would probably have trouble seeing Isaaku has he ran through the fields. Yuki wouldn't have a problem identifying where he was based on all of the weeds disappearing and kunai appearing ahead of where he was. Isaaku was at full speed, if he tripped he would bounce and slide for almost a mile. "I'm gonna get a decent work out from this..." Isaaku thought between breaths. He was starting to sweat when he reached the half way point in the last field.
Isaaku slid to a halt on all fours with a thirty foot area, he stood a little higher but held his hands on his knees. His breathing was heavy and several layers of clothing lay on the ground next to him. "Woo." He was only wears in vest and his pants had been sliced into shorts, his zori seemed as if he were ready to slip them off and his headband was lying on top of his little pile of clothes.

Mayumi felt her string wrap around Shinji’s weapon. She wanted to pull it to draw him in, but she suddenly lost her footing on the wall as something pushed down on her right side, causing her to fall to the ground. It felt like there was an enormous force pushing down on her from above, or even pulling her from below.
Is it gravity manipulation?, she thought to herself, thinking that Shinji could be forcing a surge in gravitic force, It can’t be, that would be a highly advanced technique, I’m sure it’s something else . .
Her mind calculated all the possibilities of what type of jutsu Shinji could be using, and she came down to the most logical one, it was a highly-destructive Genjutsu that would make her buckle under illusionary gravity force. Mayumi thought that she had no choice but to use her anti-Genjutsu technique. Putting her hands together as if in prayer, she focused all her chakra and was emanating at such a high rate that it would seem as if she would explode in power, but then, in a split second, it was all gone.
This was her Genjutsu negation technique, a defensive jutsu that momentarily stops all flow of her own chakra, so that the enemy’s genjutsu wouldn’t be able to control her chakra anymore. Effectively, this saves her chakra, and cancels out any genjutsu. She was hoping to use it on the twins, but it seemed too early to introduce her techniques yet.
As soon as her chakra dropped, she grabbed another pair of stringed kunai and threw it at Shinji in a spinning fashion, hoping that it would wrap around him and end this game.

When Mayumi released herself from the Genjutsu, Shinji was caught off-guard. A part of him knew that a fight against a Jounin wouldn't be that easy, but he didn't expect this turn of events. This isn't good...
As Shinji deactivated his Midori-gan, he found himself within a split second of being struck by his opponent's weapon. In a fit of quick thinking, Shinji turned his head in such a way that the kunai glanced off of his headband. Boy, am I glad I put that on my head today, he thought while grabbing Mayumi's weapon again. This time, Shinji pulled on it as hard as he could.

The twins were now sitting down nearby to observe the battle. They were rather imprssed that their teammate was holding his own against their jonin-sensei; however, it was a simple feat that they had accomplished as well. They hadn't even used any of their high level genjutsu techniques like Hall of Mirrors or Labyrinthine Hell. The mirror trick wouldn't work, since she couldn't see although Labyrinthine Hell affected all five senses, so that one could. They could also use Marionette, though they often shyed away from it due to its large chakra consumption, but it had benefits in battle. After all the enemy stabbing themself and slitting their wrists would prove extraordinarily useful.

((I'm assuming that we are still near or in the training grounds.))
“Oooh, you’re pretty strong,” Mayumi’s clone called out to him, as she let herself be taken by the forceful pull of the string. She put her hand in her bag, thinking she would use more of her kunai, but thought against and decided to just utilize whatever was already being used. Remembering that she had his weapon tied up in her other pair, she pulled hard on that one to accelerate her own path towards Shinji, also hoping to get his weapon out of his hand.
“Wrong move,” she said, as she reached him and smiled inches from his face. She put both her feet on his chest and kicked him hard, using Shinji as a springboard for a backflip kick, then, using the opposite ends of both pairs of stringed Kunai that Shinji was already holding, threw both of them to his sides to wrap him up in them, but not before he would hit a pole, to make sure his wrapping would be sturdy.
