She didn't expect to have someone skid to a halt in front of her, let alone for it to be Naota once again. If anything, the Genjutsu user had to guess that the Hokage liked the way that the two of them worked together. Either that or they were just short handed and needed to the two of them for clean up. Regardless, it was nice to see the boy again.

Sayuri opened her mouth to speak, but shut it as he rambled on, apologizing to her. She blinked, staring at him in disbelief. Did he really just say those things?

"Well now, where did all this come from all of a sudden?" She smirked, leaning forward to gently poke him on the shoulder. "No need to apologize Naota, I was pretty rude myself."

Smiling now, she pulled a scroll from her pouch as she started walking, expecting the other to follow her. "Alright, apparently these civilians need to be taught as to how strong Konoha shinobi are. Obviously we can't go too hard on them, after all it's just a 'friendly' match."

With a chuckle she began to run forward towards the spot where the civilians were camping out. It really didn't take too long to reach either, only just on the outskirts of the village, back near the Forest of Death. Upon arrival, immediately the men and women there had stopped what they were doing to stare and welcome their guests, well as welcoming as a group of six men coming forward.

"You must be the shinobi the sent to show us the villages strength. Didn't think they'd send just a pair of kids." The man speaking scoffed as a few of the others ones snickered and jeered.

"Alright," Another man spoke, stepping forward from the six that had presented themselves. "This will be a three on one. I know you kids are taught about team work and all, but you gotta be strong individually to be a good shinobi."

The rest of the men nodded, as well as some of the people in the crowd. Their murmurs were quite obvious, most in disbelief that these kids were any real threat. How could they even be of that much protection for the village anyways? It was almost laughable, but they didn't want to make the Genin feel too bad. Discouraging them would only prove to make the civilians victory even easier.

"I wouldn't be so cocky," Sayuri now spoke, putting a hand on her hip and stepping forward. "Just because we may be young does not mean are useless." She glanced at Naota now, smiling some.

"We're going to kick your asses."

A hardy laugh then finally erupted from the six men who had stepped forward as well as chuckles from the crowd. Three of the men stepped forward, the one who had originally started talking and two others. "Move aside then girly. You'll be easy pickings. We want the boy first."

With knuckles being cracked and one of the men pulling up a blunt piece of wood for a weapon, they were ready. Apparently the match had already been decided for them as well. Glaring at the comment, Sayuri took a step back and glanced over to her Uchiha companion.

"Naota. Show them who's boss. Don't feel bad either. After all, in the long run, they're insulting us and what we're capable of." Her smile widened some. "Besides, don't you want to be the one responsible for bringing hope to the people?"

NAOTA VS CIVILIANS x3---GO!

Sayuri scrunched her nose up, though briefly. It was obvious that he didn't want to speak with her. It was true, that upon hearing that he was from the Uchiha clan that she felt some dislike for him. But, in retrospect, they were a lot a like in their upbringings and their shortcomings. He should have noticed that as well after she had finished her story.

Maybe he was still just a petty child, but at least she could understand him a little better than what she could back at that creepy house. Regardless, she took a step forward, away from her companion and looked up into the sky as well. This was the same sky that all shinobi saw, so why shouldn't they, as allies, look up into the sky together?

Perhaps it was her own arrogance or her own hate towards the upper echelon of clans within Konohagakure. But at the same time, not every individual holds up the same ideals as what a clan as a whole keeps. It was something that she was slowly starting to come to terms with. However, would accepting Naota bring disgrace upon her as a Kurama? After all, the Uchiha along with the Hyuuga, Akimichi and other original founding clans of Konohagakure now all looked down upon their Genjutsu wielding allies.

It doesn't matter, no one will have to know. Nothing states that we can't be...friend...

A smile spread across her face as she turned to say something to him, though was interrupted as the Academy students all came out in a single file line. Briefly she remembered back, seeing herself in that very same line. The Kurama couldn't help but wonder what ever happened to the other eleven that had passed that year. But that was besides the point.

"Naota," she started, voice low, almost in a whisper. "I do hope that we have another mission together. I think, despite the obvious differences, that we make a good team."

Nodding her head before turning on her heels, she waved a bit before stalking off, leaving the conversation open and hanging on her simple statement. In all honesty, she didn't even want to hear his answer, at least not yet. Not until they were lucky, or perhaps unlucky, enough to receive another mission together. After all, anything is possible.

Yet again the silent treatment. If she wasn't in her right mind, Sayuri wanted to grab him by the collar and push him against the nearest wall to ask him what his problem was. Granted, she could understand him being annoyed with her, considering she hadn't allowed any room for mistake or fear on their very first mission together. But he had to understand. They were shinobi. Shinobi weren't supposed to show fear like that.

Regardless, she continued into the Academy where the Chuunin examiners quickly pulled the boy and herself towards the front of the classroom which was filled to the brim with students. Sayuri took in the face of each student, of each hopeful Genin. Only half would even pass the test and make it into the shinobi world. Dreams would be shattered and in need of being rebuilt. Maybe that's why they were here.

"Alright class," the instructor started, having Sayuri and the boy stand next to each other. "Today we have two Genin who will tell you a story of their experiences in the shinobi world for us! We have Sayuri." He pointed to her, then put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "And Naota."

The class, as if mandatory, clapped for the two of them. As the sound died down, the instructor went around the room to make sure that all of the ninja in training had pencils and paper ready. Were they really going to be taking notes on this? It was a tad embarrassing to know that, but regardless she stood their with a smile as the instructor came back to face the two of them with a smile on his face as well.

"Alright, Naota, why don't you start us off. When your finished, Sayuri will tell her story. Floor is yours, sir."

Again he would pat Naota on the shoulder before taking some steps back to allow the young male shinobi to tell his story. Sayuri too took a step back, though more so to watch her partner as he spoke. Perhaps she should get to know him better before completely and entirely judging him all the time.

I would like these techs~

Kokohi no Jutsu (False Place Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Affects anything within range. The user is able to essentially alter anything non-organic around them half a meter in size; this increases by a half meter each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one.
Description: Kokohi no Jutsu is a simple sight Genjutsu technique which changes the appearance of a nearby object. After forming a few seals, any object the user makes eye contact with will warp, twist, and look however it is the user wants to the untrained eye.
Domain: Universal Genjutsu

Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu (Sly Mind Affect Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Effective only when target is traveling along enclosed paths which have objects that can be visually altered - trees, buildings, doors, etc. Illusion uses victim as center, and alters their immediate surroundings. Affects up to 5 meters around the victim, plus 5 more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one. Multiple targets may see multiple things, and the wider sly mind effect, the more believable it will be to the victim.
Description: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a simple yet effective Genjutsu technique which allows the user to play a nasty visual truck on their opponents, causing them to travel around an area lost, in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by traveling along the same path over and over. Most effective in enclosed areas such as forests or jungle.
Domain: Universal Genjutsu

Kitsunenomado (Spaghetti Fingers)
Rank: C, C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Affects up to one finger at a time within a target, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one.
Description: A useful almost immediate affect that most ninja soon come to love. The user performs the needed seals to activate the technique, and the target chosen by the user is immediately affected. The victim of this technique feels theirs hands twitch straight away, then become sluggish after the initial twitch, leaving the hands to feel slow. Almost as though their hands were losing feeling and becoming numb. This has a very high potential to mess up handseals in progress, and may slow down future seals.
Domain: Genjutsu

This brings my total EXP in Genjutsu to 1075. So I will be taking the "Chakra Consumption I" mastery.

Upon obtaining a mastery in Genjutsu I qualify to get this-

Magen - Kurama no Jutsu (Demonic Arts - Painful Illusion Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Advanced Genjutsu
Chakra: Doubles the chakra consumption cost on whatever Genjutsu is used.
Handseals: Yes.
Special: Converts all known Genjutsu equal to highest known rank into Pain Genjutsu. This means illusions can now create damage, which is based on the Genjutsu technique's rank and is applied steadily for as long as the illusion is in place. For each rank of pain Genjutsu one intends to learn, they must have achieved a Genjutsu Mastery - i.e. In order to have 'B' ranked Pain Genjutsu, one must have 3 Genjutsu Masteries already accumulated.
Description: Upon achieving Genjutsu mastery, the illusionist is entrusted with the power of creating painful illusions - that is, they can summon an illusion so real and strong the victim will actually be hurt by it. No longer will Genjutsu users be looked down upon...
Domain: Advanced Genjutsu - Pain.

Brings Genjutsu Exp to 1100
Exp Used- 225
Leftover- 6

Total Experience- 1225

Sayuri had been entranced by the book and its contents. Everything clearly pointed to a sick and sadistic cult that worshiped this Hungerer being like some sort of God. To her, however, it sounded more like a twisted demon. The thing before them, the monster of a blob of flesh and tumors. Perhaps that was the Hungerer.

Whatever sick game of alchemy that was going on, the Kurama continued to read up until the words stopped. Within seconds the book became ablaze with fire causing Sayuri to drop it to the floor. There is stayed as well, quietly burning as he attention was focused elsewhere.

From the mucus monster before them, a man seemed to grow and be secreted from one of the many tumor like growths on its body. The man looked haggard, but normal enough. It wasn't until he spoke that she immediately gritted her teeth and clutched onto the kunai in her hand hard.

So this is the bastard placing us in all these traps and Genjutsu?! I'll make him pay...

He introduced himself as the Whisperer. It was the person that the book had just only begun to speak about before ti violently erupted into flames moments ago. Someone didn't want them to know about this man or what he was capable of. This only made Sayuri even more wary of his company. He apparently didn't have anymore time to spare with the two of them.

Within seconds the world melted away into a bright vary of colors streaming and flashing about. Her stomach churned and nearly flipped. Thankfully she held her stomach as they seemed to just reappear outside of the house. Immediately she cursed under her breath and slung the kunai back to the house, its blade embedding itself deep into the wood.

Almost growling under her breath, she sighed and softened up some, looking over to her would be partner. What did he even do that was remotely shinobi like this entire time? All he did was be scared and vulnerable. It was almost sad really. He quickly made his leave though. It was clear he didn't enjoy her company as much as she didn't enjoy his.

One day I would like to see you become strong. Not just physically, but mentally. Develop a strong will and you'll never falter.

Sayuri watched him disappear into the woods before silently yanking the blade of her kunai back out from the house. With another moment taken to stare at the creepy house she shuddered, though only slightly, before heading to the trees as quick as she could.

It was time to report in now that she had made her exit.

Mission!

All finished, EXP and Ryou please!
