Description Chaos erupted. There was a sudden barrage of shuriken and kunai, and a few scrapes followed. Toyotomi barked orders. It was the first survival test, an ambush. "Sora, disarm them! I have to make sure Kaino doesn't get hurt," he ordered. Sora nodded, prideful that he had chosen her, trusted her to lead their counterattack. Frankly, she wished the genin camp wasn't a requirement so that Kaino would not have to come and be... well, useless.

The two genin teams and Sora quickly sent the ambushers running without any serious injuries. One of the girls, Yuuka, a medic in training, treated their wounds the best she could. She had just finished taping a bandage to a forearm scratch when Toyotomi walked up. "Well, I'm definitely surprised you got away with only a scratch."

"Yeah, I guess I am too."

"Come on," he replied, walking away from the camp. Sora glanced to her camp mates, all of which were busy either bandaging themselves or retelling their feats in exaggerated forms. "Let's go! Some of these chuunin are nasty and come back for second rounds though they're not supposed to," Toyotomi urged. A little smile lighted Sora's face again as she jogged to catch up to Toyotomi.

It grew intensely quiet except for the sound of crickets, one of the rare lifeforms that lived in this sparse forest high in the mountains north of Iwa. A small yawn escaped Sora's lips. "Tired?" he smirked.

"Yeah, kind of. All that talking makes me sleepy." Her breath hitched when she felt his grip on her forearm.

"Don't fall on me, okay?" he said. She nodded wearily.

"I won't, I won't."

"Good. I need strong members who stay strong, not strong members who grow weak."

"Alrighty, Mr. Captain."

"You got that right," he chuckled a little. "By the way..." He started, nudging Sora to turn to him.

"Yeah?" she asked quietly, noting she was getting a bit taller, now able to see a bit over Toyotomi's shoulder. He continued saying something, none of which Sora heard. "Toyotomi!" Completely on a whim, she threw him to the ground, but she wasn't able to move fast enough.

"What the hell?" Toyotomi snapped coughing the dirt out of his lungs. Sora was halfway to the floor. He stood up, dusting his pants. "Are you..." He stared at the projectiles sticking from her back. The color drained from his face before Sora collapsed.



I'm annoyed that you cannot see the blood on her shirt DX
