The sky was getting darker by the moment, but a crystal clear moon lit up the genins path before them. It was such an interesting experience for guoduan not only being in a new place but pursuing these games while learning this environment. The foliage surrounding the genin had indeed been treacherous. Animals, plants, even the foliage itself constantly proved to add to the dangers that lurked this night. Yet guoduans companions were rather experienced with these sorts of hazards and were able to teach guoduan how to overcome them easily.
The genin had been traveling for a while through the treacherous foliage. It was suggested by the leaf nin to stick to the tree's and the other two had no complaints. Especially guoduan who had not ever had the experience other then during these chunin exams to use foliage as cover. Jumping tree to tree for some time the genin zig-zagged through the forest. When finally guoduan came to a stop on a large tree branch rather high up, looking down into a clearing he saw some other genin traveling through the tall grass below. He crouched quietly gathering his breath.
Looking to his companions he spoke quietly to them, What do you guys wanna do? That looks like the spot on the map down there, but it seems some other genin are here to.
Guoduan surveyed the scene below realizing that the three genin below could be recognized as cloud nin from their Hitai-ate's.

Ryuuske Takeshi
As the sky started to darken a little they began making their way through the foliage. Before too long it was clear that the suna nin was having a little trouble traversing the terrain. When Arata noticed this, he suggested that they start moving through the trees. Not only would they avoid the underbrush by doing this but it would speed up their journey as well.
Takeshi followed both Arata and Guoduan further into the foliage as they made their way toward the location on the map. Before for too long they came across a clearing that had what looked like a team of kumo genin. Takeshi came to a stop not far from Guoduan and decided to study the other genin team while he waited for Arata to arrive. If what he heard was correct then an Uchiha might see something that he didn't.
..These kumo genin don't look like they'll be too much trouble...
Hiding his presence to the best of his ability, Takeshi hid amongst the shadows. As he scrutinized the situation he began to come up with possible attack and defense patterns.

As they came into the forest Arata was quick to jump into the tree's in order to make the travel quicker. Though the environment was different then back home it was still a natural instinct for him to take to the trees. It gave him a higher view of the area around them along with making it easier to avoid obstacles. Not long after they entered the woods he noticed that his companions seemed to be having trouble. Pausing on a lower branch he spotted Guoduan trying to trudge through the foliage, so Arata swung upside down facing the Suna genin with a questioning look.
"So... looks like your having some trouble... might want to think about taking the high root... you know in the trees"
Smirking at his clever remarks for a moment, Arata let the other two go ahead while he scanned the area. He wanted to be sure no one was following them in order to ambush them for pendants. After ensuring there was no threat he swung back up to follow his companions. Before he knew it the other two had stopped as if they had spotted something ahead. Instantly he started suppressing his chakra to make it harder for any sensory ninja to detect him, landing in a branch near Goudan, Arata ensured he was closer to the tree hiding him in shadows. Hearing the question Arata scanned the area while he thought of a plan of action, not knowing how the Kumo genin would react he figure it would be best to hold back.
"We are not sure what we will find there. Though I am pretty sure that they will see us as competition, so we should move ahead with caution. Goudaun. Since you seem to be good with people you should go ahead to interact with them, while Takeshi and myself keep an eye on things. This way if they do decide to attack we can surprise them from the shadows, hopefully we can do it without anyone getting hurt."
Having said his opinion Arata merely watched the Kumo nin while he waited to hear what the others thought. If everyone stuck to the plan then if the Kumo nin attacked, they would only expect one opponent making it hard for them to defend against attacks coming from either side.

Guoduan looked to Arata, smirking at him he said sounds like a plan.
He turned and backtracked a little bit through the trees then moved around the group of kumo nin in a semicircle. Dropping back down to the foliage quietly guoduan pulled out his map then started heading out of the woods back to the kumo nin.
Pretending to read his map he started walking through the dense grass back to the point on the map. Talking loudly to draw attention he said, I think I'm lost. Dropping the map out of his face as he approached the cloud nin, oh my i didn't see you there, hello.
How you guys doing, guoduan asked to the group while he non-chalantly continued walking towards the point on the map. Find anything good, the cloud nin were dumbfounded. Who was this kid that just walked up to them.
One of the cloud nin looked at the others and said, hey buddy you must either be stupid or some sort of hotshot there is three of us.
I am not worried about it Guoduan said, ill be out of your guys hair in just one second. He said as he stepped past them looking around for the seventh pendant.
The cloud nin laughed and pointed and then the combat started, fists incoming at guoduans body and face.

Ryuuske Takeshi
Listening patiently to the Uchiha's plan, he nodded to himself in approval. Several different scenario's began to form int Takeshi's head as he waited for the right moment to act. This genin from the sand village would serve as the perfect distraction. Watching, waiting, Kazu remained perfectly still as the moment for action neared. Deciding it would be best just to subdue one of the kumo nin while he let Arata take care of the other two kumo nin.
As the sand nin made his way around to come from a different angle, Takeshi reposition himself off to the left so that he could flank the enemy. The kumo nin had quickly gotten tired of Guoduan's indifference to their presence and began trying to attack him. This is when Takeshi acted, quickly covering the short distance between him and the enemy. Dropping to the ground,he slid right under the group of ninja and wrapped wire around the ankle of the kumo nin that was trying to punch Guoduan in the stomach.
...He never saw it coming...
A smirk cracked the face of the young shinobi as he dragged the kumo nin to the edge of the clearing and strung him up in a tree.

After Guoduan parted to begin his task Arata gave a head nod to Takeshi to ensure he was ready. Quickly Arata darted to the opposite side to get in position where he could see the enemy without getting caught. He watched as things boiled over faster then he had expected, and reacted instantly the moment he noticed the Kumo-nin were going to attack. He did not want to loose his companions faith in him already, so this idea had to work.
Utilizing his Manipulated Shuriken Technique Arata threw a shuriken directing it at the nin going for the face shot. The shuriken would be angled so the wire it the targets arm allowing the weight of the shuriken to swing it around the arm. It would then stick into the genins arm as Arata pulled on his end of the wire in order to gain control over him. Once close enough he would hog tie the kid well muffling his voice so he would not alert the third that was still standing in the fields with Guoduan.
'Now its your turn Guoduan... show us what you got'
With that thought in mind Arata activated his Sharingan so that he could get a better view of the action. He wanted to used this chance to better explore his comrade who was also a potential opponent later in the exams. Already he could tell somethings about Takeshi, and Guoduan though he was excited to see how good they were in a battle as a smirk came to his face.

Guoduans companions had moved in such a fluid unison taking out two attackers in a few seconds preventing them from striking guoduan. your turn guoduan The words echoed across the field from arata as the third cloud nin's attack connected into guoduans back. The sound of a large smack could be heard as guoduan was struck by the nin. Guoduans body crumpled forward from the impact and his face tensed for a moment like he was in pain.
Then with a poof of smoke and the cloud nin's scream of pain a log appeared where guoduan had been. The cloud nin held his hand cringing in agony as guoduan appeared from behind the nearby tree. Holding up his seventh pendant he had taken from the fold in the tree.
Looks like we found what we were looking for he said to his comrades as well as the remaining cloud nin shaking from the pain of his injured hand.
Then he tossed two more copies of the seventh pendant to his comrades.

Ryuuske Takeshi
As he reached out to catch the pendant that Guoduan had tossed to him, Takeshi used his other hand to tie off the wire. Sitting on the ground he pulled out the scroll that contained the map. After sealing the pendant into it Takeshi waited for the scroll to reveal the next area they had to investigate.
...I wonder where it will be...

With his eyes back to their normal state Arata came out of hiding just in time to catch the pendant. Reaching into his coat pocket he pulled out his scroll so that he could seal the pendant inside and continue on to the next destination. He let out a sigh as he wondered just how many more of these things they would have to find. At this point he was actually starting to get tired of the tests, would rather just start doing real missions. Though with the current alliance he had gained they should be able to complete the tests quickly.

Guoduan followed suit and sealed the seventh pendant into his scroll. Looking at the map he realized they would have to start moving quick if they wanted to get the next pendant before it got to late.
Well looks like its this way, i think. Guoduan said looking at the map. Jumping back into the trees guoduan set off on his way to the next point on the map. The breeze of the night air sailing past his face as he traveled branch to branch through the forest. Well it doesn't look like there is a shortage of bugs anywhere nearby, guoduan said while sailing overhead of a rather large bug. A grasshopper maybe, guoduan didn't pay the bug much attention figuring as long as it didn't bother him he wouldn't bother it.
Sailing for some time through the forest making sure to travel the long way around dangerous looking bugs or obstructions. Guoduan continued on his way until he finally came to a stop on a tree branch looking out across the grass clearing a breeze gently drifted through it. The light smell of maple filled guoduans nose looking out again he didn't notice anything of peculiar interest.
No other enemy genin or giant bugs just a beautiful open clearing with the moonlight reflecting off the dew collected on the grass.
Well I wonder where the other two are guoduan thought to himself looking around for his companions. I assume they are nearby or right behind me, they are better in this environment they might have already gotten ahead of me.
Hopping down into the clearing guoduan started to walk slowly to the center of the field.
Then out of nowhere a burst of wind, the smell of maple, a shape descended from the sky blotting out the moons light. What the hell guoduan said jumping backwards to keep from getting crushed beneath the weight of the monster.
What the hell is that? guoduan said preparing for battle.

Ryuuske Takeshi
After everyone had finished sealing their respective pendants into their scrolls, Guoduan decided to take point and began the small journey to the next destination. Takeshi still wasn't sure what exactly to think of the young suna genin but for now their were allies and that was enough for him. Following suit he took to the trees and began to follow. The forest was thick and full of danger but Takeshi was able to easily keep up with the akward Shinobi. It was quite apparent that the guy wasn't used to this kind of environment.
...I wonder what mw team is up to?..
Before Takeshi realized it, he was standing at the edge of a clearing looking down on Guoduan calmly walking toward the center. Not sure what the other genin's plan was he decided that it would be best if he kept his distance and dropped down to the ground at the edge of the foliage. That's when it hit him, of all things the smell of maple began to saturate the air, along with a low humming noise.
...What the Hell is that?..

Once again Arata let the others move ahead of him so that he could keep an eye on things. He would travel at a distance where he was able to watch his companions and help if they needed it. Suddenly a strange scent came to his nose as he was not used to such a strong smell of maple. Ahead of him he watched as Guoduan jumped back like he was avoiding an attack. Sticking to the shadows Arata activated his sharingan once again well he waited for an opening for attack.
In a clearing ahead he could see what looked like a giant moth of some sort. Quickly a plan for attack came to his mind as he did a quick scan of the area to spot his allies. Positioning himself directly behind the flying creature Arata threw a couple shuriken that had wire attached to them, utilizing his 'Manipulated Shuriken Technique' he planned to restrain it. With precise accuracy along with perfect timing he should be able to make the wires wrap around both wings when it brought them up to flap. As the shuriken flew Arata counted each second between flaps of the wings, getting the timing down.
Right when the wings started coming up again he twitched his fingers to change the path of the shuriken. Each took sharp turns moving around the wings letting the wire fully wrap them before the shuriken embedded themselves into the creature. Not sure how long he could hold Arata braced himself for resistance as he began flowing threw hand-seals. Either way this worked out he hoped he would provide his companions with an chance to make an attack of their own.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique"
He spoke as he finished the proper seals, sending fire ripping down the wire heading for the target. With the jutsu complete Arata had to focus his chakra in his feet if he did not want to be pulled off his branch. If this jutsu worked it would not only provide his comrades with light from the fire, but should do considerable damage to the creatures wings. For now all he could do was hold on to see if his plan worked, well his mind raced for back up plans.

The moths wings rippled with fire as guoduan watch arata's perfectly timed attack. No time like the present guoduan thought as he also fell into action running under the beasts legs he sprang in the air grabbing something he had only noticed moments before. The package holding a few of the eighth pendant that was needed. Guoduan turned and with the help of a kunai threw the parcel towards arata. The kunai sticking into the tree holding a few of the eight pendants tightly inside the parcel. Then without thinking guoduan flew into a series of hand signs still standing underneath the beast.
Tsuyo-sa no jōmyaku jutsu
The metal cork on his gourd exploded open shooting towards the beast wrapping its limbs in a chain of metal dust, grabbing at the beast writhing across its mass, pulling it to the ground from the veins of metal dust.
Guoduan smirked while he jumped backwards out of the way of the hulking beast falling to the ground wrapped in his dust. Now we finish this he said flowing into more hand seals.
Kinzoku gurippu jutsu
The thick wrapped cords of metal dust tightened upon his words churning and twisting around the beast, tighter and tighter they weaved into the beasts bottom limbs. Then with Guoduan last hand seal the metal dust with a loud crunch sound tightened down into the limbs they had been restraining. Destroying the limbs nearby to guoduan, thoroughly crippling the beast.
Its your turn Ryuuske attack from above finish this beast guoduan yelled to his teammate.
Standing proud guoduan held is crushing jutsu in place then a flicker of the beast wing and something happened guoduan did not expect. The wind lifted him of the ground and threw him through the air rocketing far into the sky a large distance away from his comrades. As he flew through the air guoduan calmed himself calling his metal dust back to him and as his gourd refilled and the cork neatly took its place. Right when guoduan would land safely back on the ground the beast hit him with another wind attack sending him sailing far out of eye sight of his comrades.
landing some great distance away guoduan landed on the branches of some trees falling to the ground. With no one around him and no people in sight guoduan passed out, wondering if his comrades would find him. But he doubted it, he would rather them go ahead anyway, when he had the strength to stand again he would catch up with them. But even if they came looking for him by the time they would find him he would probably already be gone having been found by a proctor or sentinel of the Procter's or by another genin.
Right before he faded to blackness to said out loud to no one, don't worry guys ill catch up.

Ryuuske Takeshi
The ember glow from the fire jutsu cast it's warmth on the surrounding clearing as Takeshi watched the well timed attack that Arata executed. That's when he saw Guoduan used another jutsu that further constricted the beast and was bringing it ever closer to the ground. A spark erupted in the thought's of Takeshi mind and he leaped into action, leaving behind the subdued and unconscious kumo genin.
..I need a better angle..
Takeshi muttered to himself in his mind as he started running along the edge of the clearing. Then he took to the trees and climbed higher and higher as he circled around a little to his left as he executed a few hand seals. Leaping into the night sky above his target, Takeshi started charging the chakra in his right fist and tucked himself into a somersault as he fell toward the now grounded creature.
"Gekido Hanauta: Kobushi (Humming Rage: Fist)"
Takeshi's body unfolded in a perfectly timed attack that gave his punch extra force due to momentum. A brilliant flash was seen as he struck the creature with his electric attack. A small crater was left under the head as Takeshi turned and walked toward Arata. From what he could tell the other genin had been thrown quite the distance and they would be better off moving along. It's not like they had all the time in the world and the clock was still ticking.

As the last bit of fire flowed down the wires a proud smirk came to Arata's face. Then came the look of interest as the Suna nin performed his attack, even his Sharingan could not fully see how it was done. It was quickly followed by a look of shock as he realized the plan Guoduan had with his chains.
"You mother..."
He could not finish his words before the momentum of the moth being pulled to the earth ripped him from his perch. Thinking quick Arata released the wires as he shifted his body weight into more of a flipping motion. With a thud he landed feet first on the earth, putting up a small cloud of dust making him cough. Having his eyes closed he did not see what all happened, though upon opening them all he saw was Guoduan flailing in the air. Flying over the tree line his body was swallowed by the night sky, leaving Arata with a surprised look.
Then out of no where Takeshi spun in like a tiny sideways hurricane, that built up the momentum of the downward punch that deflated the creatures head. With his eyes he also saw the electricity radiate through Takeshi's fist as it made contact with its target. It even made Arata cringe a bit with how hard he hit the creature, there was no questioning this moth... was done.
After a moment of calculating all the aspects that were put into that attack, analyzing every detail to remember later. With that he let his eyes fade back to their normal state before looking over to Takeshi a victorious smirk. Dusting himself off he suddenly remembered something, looking behind him he saw the parcel Guoduan had thrown him. Using the shunshin he appeared in a gust of wind on the branch below the package. Taking one out for him he then tossed another down to Takeshi leaving just one meant for Guoduan.
'We don't have the time to search...'
He thought as he placed the last one back into the package for if his friend came back. Either way he did not need it since he got one of his own, he then pulled out the scroll to seal the pendant. Having done that the map revealed where they were to go next....

Ryuuske Takeshi[/i]
With the corpse of the giant moth roasted in the flames behind him, Takeshi had come to a conclusion. It would be quite possible that here in the near future the leaf Genin could be competition instead of an ally. Deciding that it would be in his best interest to go the next part of the exams solo, he waited and caught the pendant before disappearing amongst the foliage.
...I hope that they pass this part of the exams.. [/i][/blockquote][/blockquote]
