Kuroh turned towards Udemae. He had a see what you did look on his face. He looked back up to Otoku. He then looked at the board to see what he was writing.

Otoku finished writing on the bpard and said,

"Alright! I want you kids to read this. Take it all in. And write it down some where. It will be coming back to you." Otou pointed to the board which read,


“The Goals of ANBU”

• Protect your Village
• Protect your village leader
• Be ready to give up your life for the beliefs of your leader
• Hunt down and kill missing nins



Otoku looked at them and said,

"There are many more. These are just the basics. Remember them well."

Kizu scratched them down in a notebook on her desk. She though she might as well take notes while she was there, her hands would be completely unoccupied otherwise. The margins were taken up by fancy designs, kunai and shuriken killing stick figures, and the name 'Otoku' traced some many times it soaked through to the next page. She rested her head in her gloved palm, leaning to the side lazily. She watched Otoku respectfully and paid attention though.

Hmm, except for that last one, aren't those the duties of every shinobi? she thought. Ah, well. I'm none to question the almighty Elite Jonin, Otoku of the legendary Mekura clan, hero of all Konoha... Her gaze dropped the the old quill pen she preferred to use in her hand. She fiddled with it a while until she noticed it and put it down hastily. She sighed and continued watching Otoku sullenly.

Ichitoru only but smirked as he leaned back in his chair. He openned his eyes to look at the board but soon after, closed his eyes again.

That's so easy to memorize that I don't even have to write it down. He thought, as he smirked.

He sighed once as he took a deep breath. He lazily raised his hand to Otoku, as he soon began to talk.

"Not to be rude, Otoku, but I think most of us already know this information or has studied before enterring this class. Do you think you can step it up in this class a little? How about pairing us off to measure our strengths and weaknesses?" He said boldy, not wanting to be rude, but to get his word out.

(Flame said to speed it up a lil, so might as well?)

--------------------------------------------------

Udamae staired at Kuroh with an apologetic look on her face, then suddenly stared at Otoku with an extremely angered look. Her eyes flashed to a feline's for a second, as she clenched her fist. But soon, she withdrew her anger and sat down next to Kuroh, as she suddenly took out a notebook and wrote what was written on the board.

Otoku smiled and said,

"Alright you guys thinke you're ready for the hard stuff huh. Alright, I was just going to go through the motions today, because I really didn't feel like teaching you today, but since you want to do something so bad. Ok let's go."

Otoku started to walk out the door and stood there out side. He stood there and said,

"Alright here's the deal, I'll spar each of one for 5 mins. I going to observer your skills. Then tomorrow I'k will par you up, and then the two of you wil try and take him on at full force. So who's up first."

Ichitoru got up from his seat, and with Raiyou following him, went outside as well. He went slowly, and calmly, hearing the words of Otoku, but for some reason, he didn't want to go first.

--------------------------------------

Udamae, already mad by Otoku for hurting her older brother, rushed out and quickly started to talk.

"I want to go first." She said as she raised her hand with an angered look.

She usually wasn't so careless, and thought things through, but already angered, wanted to do something. She already know she wouldn't stand a chance, and would probably last less than 5 minutes, but still thought of a strategy in her head, as it came in her head right away. She thought since the well amount of trees around the area, that she may have a small strategy, and knew that she should get the ninjutsu expert with taijutsu.

Her hand rested in her weapon pouch at her waist, as she moved some of her hair that was in her eye with her other hand.

Otoku smiled and said,

"Very well. Please step forward Udamae."

Otoku stood there with no intention of using his Eikyugan in any of this fights. He bowed and said,

"You may make the first move when ever your ready. For you're sake I hope you don't disspoint me."

Otoku then stood straight up and waited for the attack.

Udamae quickly looked Otoku up and down. Many thoughts were going through her head, mostly strategies to use and details about her opponent. She recited in her head what she had read and learned about the Mekura clan, and knew to be cautious.

Her hand receded from her weapon pouch, and her hands were filled with kunai and shuriken attached with thick wire.

I can use this technique in this match, it will do me best. She said, thinking of one of her strategies.

String Reeling Technique

In a second, she threw all of the weapons all around Otoku, to trap him on nearby trees. She even threw some on the ground in front of him, that had camoflouged paper bombs on them.

Kizu groaned slightly at hearing Otoku's instructions. Dammit, Ichitoru... You couldn't have possibly thought he'd be going easy on us. Why would you ask for more? she thought. She had followed the rest out and now pulled her Tessen from the sash holding it on her back. She knew once Otoku got into his combat mindset he would be too immersed in battle to remember it was just a test. She planned to go next if no one else beat her to it. Thinking back over all the time she had known Otoku, she found it hard to recall a time when she had a good straight spar with him. She leaned on the large black fan and tried to come up with a strategy that might work to his disadvantage.

Otoku looked at the incoming kunia and shuriken. He quickly drew his sword and a extremely fast movements. made several slashes which wind came out of them. He then quickly put the sword back into it's sheath. Training with Takashi over the pass 3 monnth greatly increased his speed among other things. The simply moves he just made would be almost undetectable to those who;s eyes weren't as keen as others. The wind blades slashed through the earth and the explosive tags, cutting throughtthe wires like butter. As it cut through the explosive tag the tag blow and set the wind blade on fire, the blade of wind was now a blade of imeasly hot fire that was flying towadrds Udamae. As it went flying Otoku said,

"You have one more move, beforeI go on the offensive. Make it count!"

Her face dropped as she made a grunting noise. She body flickered a couple of yards to the left, to dodge the incoming blade.

Damn it. I knew his ninjutsu was great, but I didn't think it would be this good. But ot everything can be his strong suit. She thought as she pulled out one of her last kunai. I need to find his weak point. Let's try his reaction time first.

She threw the kunai with immense force towards Otoku, of course, with a hidden explosive tag on it. She then tried to hide her chakra level, as she body flickered in a tree right behind him.

Otoku quickly dodged the the left of the attack as he dodged he sent a kick to the Kunia, the way he kicked was so that it would make it's way to where Udame was hiding. He then said to himself,

"Umm impressive, stratagery, she lowered her charkra lvl, in order to try and hide from my Eikyuugan. Nice, but I had no intention of using my Eikyuugan, and I really didn't need to. Her body flickers are much to slow to fool me." Otoku then said out loud,

"4 mins left. Now it's my turn to attack."

Otoku then dissapeared from sight, and reappeared behide her. Her yelled boo in order to get her to turn around, to draw her attenion away from the in coming kunia with the explosive tage on it. He then jumped high into the air, to avoid the explosion.

Udemae had no intention of turning around, as she body flickered several yards away from that area.

"Reflexes and reaction time is too good. I guess it's time to try and see if defense is his weak point." She said aloud to herself.

She jumped in the air to catch up to Otoku who was also air born, and attempted to hit him with a cross kick to the left.

Otoku caught the kick, and then started to spinn her in the air. He then sent her flying with extreme speed towards the ground. He then said to herself,

"If i was using the powers of my Eikyuugan I could have ended her here, and she probably wouldn't have survived. I hope the enjoy te fact that I'm taking it easy on them."

He then landed in a nearby tree.

Udemae started to fall to the ground, too fast to catch herself. When she thought she hit the ground, she was actually caught by Ichitoru.

"I think that should be enough." Ichitoru said to them both, as he let down Udemae, who couldn't help but to agree.

Raiyou ran to Ichitoru and started to pant happily by his side, as Ichitoru bent down and started to pet Raiyou's head as he looked around at the other people.
