The skies were filled with dark grey clouds that were pushed along by a cool breeze, as they floated by the pissed down rain like they just finished a drinking contest. Luckily Siyoshi was used to the weather around here it was more of a welcoming sight as he took off for his morning jog. It was among his morning routines to jog a couple miles while shadow boxing using the rain as his opponent. As he went he would duck, weave, and throw punches as if he was fighting a onslaught of enemies. Even with the hood of his hoodie he could feel the wet sensation as the rain soaked his brown hair making it difficult to tell when he was sweating.
After a while he slowed down his pace so he could catch his breath for a moment. Taking a deep breath he looked down at his feet watching how the mud squeezed between his toes. He smirked before he began tugging at the bands wrapped around his hands to ensure they were still tight. After a few quick stretches he began jogging in place as he moved through different punch combo's letting his muscles memorize each motion.

Ito Akida
Ito had grown accustomed to his older half-brothers early morning routine, it has almost become a routine of his own. Waking early, then pretending to be asleep while Tengata left for his jog. Following in his brothers wake, rooftop to rooftop, he would follow his brother always waiting for that perfect opportunity to mess with him. Here it was he thought, the perfect opportunity to get him. Just as Tengata did a stretch forward he lobbed a small pebble right at his left butt cheek. The pebble sailed through the air, hoping it would strike true Ito watched in anticipation. Right before it would land on his mark Ito made sure his hiding spot was good, better to fool Tengata's senses, maybe he would think it was a bee or something.

He was in mid-stretch when suddenly he felt a sharp pain right on his forehead, instantly making him grab his head. After pulling his hand down he inspected it for any traces of blood, seeing there was none he began looking around. There was no one around that he could see though the rock on the ground shows someone was. Yet there was one thing that popped into his mind...
"Ito..."
His fists clenched as he scouted around to find where his little brother could be hiding. This made him a little more angry seeing as Ito was always messing with him ever since they were little. Yet Tengata could never bring himself to break his face like he did to other people that annoyed him. With a heavy sigh he put his hands on his waist trying to calm himself so he could think rationally.
"Alright. You got me... now come out, lets see how tough you are face to face"
Tengata yelled at the top of his longs so that Ito could hear him no matter where he was hiding. The little punk was always good at playing hide and seek...

Ito Akida
How dumb do you think i am? He said from his hiding spot, if i come down there you would totally beat me.Now just something to think about, what if it hadn't been me, imagine you are being tracked by another shinobi. You know what you just did you gave away important Intel, i wouldn't have know you knew until you said something. I would have just assassinated you tengata, what if that was a real weapon and not a little stone, huh, what then?Ito's age could be easily judged by the interactions he had with his brother, with everyone else he would be quiet and try to act older but around Tengata he was just a little kid.

With the smart alec remarks of his brother Tengata could feel his frustration growing as it usually did around him. Putting his hand to his face he just shook his head as he listened to Ito rattling on like he was trying to prove a point.
"What if I came into your room while you were sleeping then proceeded to beat the living snot out of you? What would you do then? Tell mommy?!"
Raising his broad body up he let a smirk slip into his lips before he started walking slowly toward where he heard the voice. He began to crack his knuckles like he was getting ready for a fight, his muscles tensed a bit as if they were excited to see action.
"Those that strike from the shadows are usually wimps, your not a wimp are you Ito? You see anyone can hide in the shadows to wait for a moment your target is off guard to strike"
Stopping a good distance from where he thought he heard Ito at he laughed loudly. It really made his day to think his little brother was nothing but a shadow humping wimp.
"Now what would you do if that attack did not kill me? I would have been able to track your position, so what would you do when in a situation where you can't just hide in the shadows?!"

Ito Akida
Well Tengata, you won't be able to just beat every shinobi you ever face. Some of them will be cunning and not attack you face to face, what will you do then? Rise to the challenge or complain to them, like your doing to me.
Ito assumed his brother was probably trying to find him, but he also thought he would probably hear a least a sliver of a sound. Tengata was much bigger then Ito, he was built like a Siyoshi strong and mean. Ito however was more like their mother small and thin, with no real meat on his bones. He knew that if Tengata caught him he would be no match for Tengata's strength.
I still don't hear footsteps he thought, when his brother last yelled it seemed pretty far away but he couldn't be sure. He heard a noise not sure if it was Tengata or not he braced himself expecting a pummeling. Then a cat jumped out from behind him scaring Ito almost to tears, he sat quietly for a second.
I forgot to answer your question Tengata, I would do what every smart shinobi who is out-manned does.
I would run, as the words left his lips he blasted off the ground using the power of futon and his glider he rocketed into the air straight up.

"Everyone has a limit to how many tricks they have up their sleeves Ito, and always a way to see through any trick"
He watched as his brother soared into the air with his glider, as he went higher Tengata had to squint to see him. Walking to keep pace with Ito as he flew he watched the path he was taking making calculations of the patterns.
"All I have to do is survive, and adapt to the situation then the clues will lead me to my target"
With a chuckle he bent down to pick up the rock that was thrown at him and began tossing it in the air.
"Youknow... I have always wondered what would happen if I pegged you with a rock while you were flying"

Ito had thought his brother would chase him, but seeing that he just stood still on the road he landed on a nearby roof. Thinking that he probably shouldn't pester his brother to much, especially if he ever planned to go home unscathed, he decided to try and change the subject. So how many miles you gonna run today Tengata? He said as he gently walked on the edge of the roof like it was some sort of balance beam. Your probably the only kid that actually works out like this that we know, well unless they are told to. He said as he continued his gentle stride on the roofs edge. You wanna hear something i heard the other night? He said not knowing if his brother had decided to call off the attack or not.

\He would probably fall and die He thought to himself, as far from eyesight, near the tops of one of the trees in this rain filled land was Sachiro. He was crouching at the top, watching the two boys below, far from eye sight or ear shot.
"Thats two of them... but wheres the third?"
He said to himself as he thought about it, bringing a few fingers to his temple.
"Either way, they both got some ideas on how shinobi are to act, but do they know how to act when an opposing force---and unknown one at that attacks them? As is the case more often then not..."
His hands came together as he performed seals, finally completing the combination of In and focusing his chakra. The earth near the roots of the tee began to rise up, as slowly a large hedgehog came up. He nodded down to the beast, as it began lumbering off in the direction of the boys, shaking the earth as it went and snapping twigs. Birds flew away in a stir of anger, as the beast moved. These telltale signs if used correctly would be of great benefit to the boys. Strategic Information Doton: Yuujin Buro Harinezumi [Earth Release: Grand Mercy Broken Hedgehog]

Tengata acted as if he was taking aim at his brother until Ito landed on a near by roof top. At that point he lowered his hand rolling the rock in his fingers a bit before he dropped it. Hearing the question brought him to realize that he still had more running to do if he wanted to be in shape for the exams. "Abou..."Before he could finish Ito continued talking again which was something that he was used to now days. Letting him talk Tengata began to pick at the ground with his toes as if he were making sure it was still there. When Ito asked if he wanted to know something his eyebrow cocked in an interested manner. His brother was usually good at picking up information, but sometimes it was just dumb intel. "Su..."Again before he could speak he was interrupted before he could finish one word. Though this time it was due to the rumbling of earth below his feet that could his attention. Looking around he spotted what looked like a large rock creature moving toward them like it was ready to attack. Instantly he moved between the beast and his little brother well performing the proper seals for his technique. JutsuWith the Koudo Kata Kobushi (Earth Style Fist) active earth formed around his fists like gloves. His eyes focused on the incoming opponent as he got in position for his Rikujou Pondo Kata Shura (Ground Pound Style Fighting), even though he did not know how well it would work against this beast. "Ito take off into the air, it looks like this could be some sort of jutsu. So I need you to scout around to see if you can spot anyone that could be controlling it. If you cant then find someone... we may need help, cause I wont let it harm this village"Cracking his neck he prepped himself for a fight, ready to activate the second step to his style. He could not figure why this beast would be attacking, but there was no way he would let it hurt Ito or the village. His mother always told him that no matter what he was to protect his brother, well his father always spoke of Ame with pride.

Ito Akida
He was waiting for a response when the ground started shaking, he looked around maybe thinking his brother was using earth jutsu again. There it was, some giant rock, thing..Ito wasn't sure what it was he just kept staring mouth open. His brothers words snapped him out of the trance he was in and without hesitating he did as his brother asked. With a breeze of his Futon he was up in the air scouting for where the beast could have come from, who or what it might be going after, or why no one else had stopped it before it got here. Ito dove towards the ground without a moments hesitation, I have to give my brother time to get his seals off, he thought cascading directly towards the beasts path. This was about to be the most epic game of chicken Ito had played, but he held firm he knew if he could perform this right it would give his brother the time he needed to beat this beast to a pulp. Diving high at the last second he unloaded kunai towards the beast, with one special kunai, which was carrying a exploding tag attached by wire. The wire ran to Ito's hand and as he cascaded away from the beast to the wires max distance he ripped his arm into the air, praying the tag would detonate.

Applaud-able as it was, their first encounter with a hostile so far was going well. However, this hostile was not in control of itself, but they wouldn't get that. Sachiro figured they would try blowing it up, but thought it would come from Tengata more then Ito. When Tengata took his stance in defense, Sachiro figured Ito was on the offensive, and he should be, considering he had an aerial advantage.
But their strategy was weak, a head on attack to set up an explosive note, would do little, when the opponent was for an intents and purposes an earth elemental. Blowing it up, would only succeed in charring the rock a bit, as any part that would break off would reform. As the explosion sent a shockwave off, and covered the beast in smoke, there would be a moment of lapse. They couldn't see it through the smoke, and the deafening explosion held the world in silence.
That is until the smoke began to clear in the rain and the huge hedgehog lumbered forward. One of its massive paws would reach outto grip the dragging bit of wire from Ito's attack, since the beast was quite large and tall. It would then tug with all it strength, in an effort to drag the kid earthbound.
"Not bad, but not enough... brute force doesn't usually work kids---come on, think like ninja's"
He said mainly to himself as he, dropped a bit downward into the tree line and performed a Henge transformation to look like a branch of the tree sticking out where he was standing. Now the games would begin, as the hedgehog began its warpath against the boys.

As Ito took off into the Tengata stood ready to fight as he was trying to formulate abplan of attack, it was then he noticed his brothers path. With that Tengata jumped into action running full speed toward the beast well keeping an eye on his brother. He saw the kunai fly towards the target and smiled as a thought came to mind.
'You dont listen worth crap... yet your a good distraction little brother'
Using his brother as a distraction Tengata planned to try jumping on the beast after activating his second jutsu. Since this thing seems to be made of earth his boots should be able grip it so he could make his way up to the top. Once there maybe can hit its head hard enough to put it to the ground, as the idea came together the explosion tag went off. At that point he activated the jutsu before putting his plan into action, only able to hope it works without anyone getting hurt.

A header
Hoping his plan had worked he had continued his motion through the air, dancing on the wind. He not expected the beast to grab a hold of the wire he had used to activate the tag in order to fish him in. Feeling the wire go tight out of no where Ito was sent spiraling through the air, the strain of his momentum would have been enough to dislocate his arm. Without quick thinking. At the last second Ito braced the line allowing it to whip him back towards the beast, using the momentum to send him sailing through the air towards the beast. Cutting the wire with a kunai he felt the wind traveling past him. That's when he had an idea, sailing through the air he started to perform hand seals, then with a few words, quiet words, he disappeared with a gust of wind. TACTICAL INFORMATION:Shunshin no Jutsu Body flicker Technique D-rank The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination.

A good move, Ito showed some promise. However as he kicked off and Shunsined, and Tengata did his whole "Head on attack" the two of them would be in for a rude awakening.
"Spin it"
Sachiro would say, as the Hedgehog fell forward while curling itself into a massive ball with rocky spikes coming out of it. It would then begin turning, as Tengata got close enough to climb up on it. Now he would realize he was about to land feet first on spinning spikes, unless he changed directions or someone helpd him there.
The danger was quite real, the boys could easily injure themselves in this battle if they weren't cautious, and Sachiro was making it to be as real as possible.

Just as he was about to jump on the beast it suddenly curled into a ball which made Tengata pause, as soon as the spikes shot out he jumped back. Getting into his stance he started weaving, ducking, and dodging the spikes as he moved back as the thing kept pushing forward. Utilizing the momentum of his weaving he would attempt punching between th spikes hoping there was some weak point like in most stone. Every so often he would have to block with his earth gloves, and was realizing they would not last forever so they would have to end it soon.
"Ito. There has to be a caster for this beast... find him, dont worry about me"
He figured Ito was clever enough to not get caught up by the beast, so the most Tengata could do now is keep the beasts attention. Though it was getting to him how little use he seemed to be in this fight, usually he just beat things up to get his way. Right now he had to depend on his little brother well basically just surviving the attack, maybe if he was lucky he would hit a soft spot.

Ito Akida
The beast started spinning, it seemed his brother was in trouble but with his words Ito understood he was ok at least for now. Having disappeared with a gust of wind Ito had originally planned to go down toward the beast under its belly, but the spinning had prevented that. Unless he wanted to be gravelly wounded. Appearing out of nowhere, Ito started running toward the beast. Ito tried to draw its attention away from his brother for at least a moment, hoping to give tengata a chance to rest or gain a better position for attack. ((OOC: Tactical information: Ito is hiding out of sight but has used Clone skill or Bunshin no jutsu to create a clone that "is him" to divert the attention of the of giant hedgehog. ))

[glow=blue,2,300]Ryuuske Takeshi[/glow]
Hoping that what he had heard about the Chunin Exams the previous day, Takeshi awoke from his slumber with great enthusiasm for the day. He had been training day in and day out for the exams for at least six months now. After getting ready for the day he paused for a moment by the front door of his house.
....Today I'm gonna work on my hand to hand combat techniques...
After pulling a jacket out of the closet near the door, Takeshi rushed out into world to greet yet another long day of training. Pausing for a moment he looked into the sky and let the rain drum across his face. Turning toward the woods near the inner wall, Takeshi embarked on his journey to the training grounds.
Once he got to the forest there were some odd noises that heard and presumed were worthy of investigation. As Takeshi came to the area where the noises came from he decided that it would prolly be wiser to watch for a moment rather then just leap into something when he had no idea what was going on. After he hid his presence he slowly started to creep up and watch from a safe distance.
As he quickly and silently moved from tree to tree getting closer and closer he quickly grasped what was going on. There were two other Genin and a creature made of earth going at it. At first he thought that one of them was in danger and almost moved to help him. However, upon closer scrutiny he could tell that none of the movements that the earth Genin was making were wasteful.
...I should probably gain a little bit of intel on these guys before I make myself known... [/b][/blockquote][/blockquote]

One of the key things they seemed to be missing, was the beast was acting without concern for their tactics. As if it had intel from someone or something else. Its spinning body and spikes would cause it to zoom forward as a spinning shredding ball of death. Tengata had better move out of the way instead of standing there and trying to dodge the spikes and punch in-between them. The Ito that was running forward was also making a fatal mistake, as the spinning ball of shredding death rocketed forward the bunshin would get dispersed as soon as it was hit. Since he was still in disguise and the Hedgehog was on the attack and rocketing down the street a way, the boys would have to think on their feet as to what to do next.

The beast pushed Tengata back taking each punch as if it was nothing at all. Gaining a frustrated look he realized that he was going to need to back off out of his path. Knowing there was obstacles behind him that could slow the beast down if it was to run into it he knew there was only one choice. He had to time it just right to dodge to the left and roll away from the danger of the spikes. If it all worked out right he should come to a skidding stop several feat from his opponent. Then he could better access the situation along with keep a better eye on his brother.
