Maren Yasutora

The flames of my passion burn without control! Such is the way of the Mighty Yasutora!

0 · 395 views · located in The Naruto Universe

a character in “Naruto: New World Order”, as played by Thundergod1020

Description

Image
"The name's Yasutora! Just who the Hell do you think I am?"

Name: Maren Yasutora
Name Meaning: His parents liked the name.
Nickname(s): Tiger(this can be taken sexually if so desired.)
Title(s): The Mighty Yasutora
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Notable Features: Scar from a blade over his left eye, and a large blue tattoo of a flame on his back, something every Yasutora boy gets on their 12th birthday to call himself a man.

Personality: At first glance, Maren is boisterous, hotheaded, and arrogant. He demands recognition and seems hungry for greatness, illustrated in his tendency to call himself "the Mighty Yasutora" and his signature catchphrase, "Who the Hell do you think I am?!" He is an idealist with tremendous determination, sometimes to the point of ignorance; his friends might describe him as "a kid of unlimited stupidity." Maren is also very perverted, declaring that the urge to stare at beautiful women is the definition of a man.

Maren is also extremely determined; he never lets anything keep him down for long. Even discovering that his father was dead only solemned him for a night or two. He is also devoted to defending and supporting his friends and loved ones, fighting with all his strength to protect them. In turn, he is very charismatic in the heat of battle, able to inspire even a timid friend to great feats and almost single-handedly setting the foundations of his team.

Despite his often-insane actions, Maren has a fairly insightful personality. He tells anyone who will listen that his war against the vile is not for personal glory or vengeance, but a desire to give future generations a world in which they can live without worry. His bravado and fearlessness is also little more than a facade to mask his own worries and support others; he will personally admit(albeit under extreme interrogation) that people like his dad are the real heroes. Despite his often moronic moves, he has a level of common sense, often seeing the things that are so simple that most miss them. This suggests Maren has a more complicated personality than he lets people see.

Family:
*Wenny Yasutora (Mother)
*Roy Yasutora (Father, deceased)
Blood Type: O
Birthday: January 3rd
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 100lb
Marital Status: Single
Goal: To be remembered for something grand.

History: Maren was born into the household of the Yasutora family, a family that, until Maren, had no desire to become ninjas. However, Maren always dreamed of becoming someone people would remember for his good deeds, and not the bad. He ended up enrolling in the Academy when a rogue ninja killed his father, who had been trying to help save others from the man. The only reason he survived was when his latent Kekkei Genkai activated, and the ninja found himself trying to slice open a boy made of an almost unreal fire, who ended up roasting the guy and leaving him in the prison hospital with 3rd degree burns. His enrollment came shortly after, and his graduation almost as fast, showing an incredible knack for basic ninjutsu and extreme skill with Taijutsu and Shurikenjutsu, yet barely capable of using anything more powerful than a Flame Bullet, making his chances of becoming a team Genin feel like a pipe dream to him, until only recently.

Village: Konoha
Rank: Genin
Fame Level: Spoken of, only because of his Kekkei Genkai and the fact that no one had realized such a power had existed in his family.
Classification: Genin
Clan: Technically, no, but with the unveiling of the Fighting Spirit KG, he is, by all means, the head of the Yasutora Ninja clan.

Academy Grad Age: 10
Chuunin Exam Age: (Age they were when they became a Chuunin)
Jounin Age: (Age they were when they became a Jounin)
Kage Age: (Age they were when they became a Kage)

Weapons: Any type of weapon he can get his hands on.
Chakra Nature: Fire and Wind
Kekkai Genkai: Fighting Spirit
Tailed Beast: No
Summoning: Salamanders, capable of withstanding his flames and even more capable of using fire themselves. The fact that he can only summon salamanders as big as his fist doesn't help, though...

Chakra Level: Basic
Chakra Control: Decent
Hand Seal Knowledge: Experienced
Speed Level: Experienced

Skills and Abilities
Ninjutsu: VERY basic Fire and Wind jutsu, all academy-based jutsu
Taijutsu: Very skilled, not at Lee levels, but compared to his peers, he's usually a cut above, using weapons affected by his chakra to make them move as he sees fit.
Genjutsu:"You mean people actually USE these?" -Maren

Signature Techniques:
Kekkei Genkai: Fighting Spirit- Maren's natural will to keep fighting becomes such a burning passion that it literally ignites him, upping his speed and making all his taijutsu incredibly dangerous to be hit by. This is much like Super Saiyan form, as it A) improves fighting capacity, B) becomes more dangerous in direct proportion to the rage he feels, and C) becomes absolutely destructive if he should ever be pushed over the edge into a Tranquil Fury. Unstoppable Rage, that can be handled with Water Release. Tranquil Fury? That adds Wind Jutsu to everything, making him even faster, and twice as hot(temperature-wise), meaning water actually will GO INTO NUCLEAR FISSION AND MAKE HIM STRONGER. The only reason he isn't harmed by the flames is that his heart burns hotter. The caveat here is that his chakra is very easily spent in this state, becoming more and more draining the less his fighting spirit burns, and he rarely gets past the 'itching for a fight" stage. Here are the times it takes to drain his chakra from full to empty at each level of anger, and the ease of reaching each level marked by *.
Calm: 10 seconds, moves 1.25x as fast, hits 1.25x harder. *
Fired up and itching for a battle: 30 seconds, moves 2x as fast, hits 2x harder. *
Very agitated: 45 seconds, moves 2x as fast, hits 2.25x harder. **
Raging(stoppable): 45 seconds, moves 2.5x as fast, hits 3x harder. ****
Raging(unstoppable): 60 seconds, moves 2.5x as fast, hits 3x harder. *****
Tranquil Fury: 5 minutes, moves 7.5x as fast, and hits with 8x the force. *******************(Someone close needs to die for this to take hold.)
Fire Release: Fire Bullet- This technique simply fires ignited oil at the enemy, and is mainly for distraction, though can be effective on an unaware foe.
Fire Release: Great Fireball- Same as above without the oil, can also be used as a constant stream.
Wind Release: Gale Palm- With a clap of his hands, Maren can create a strong gale capable of knocking a person over, but he instead uses it to launch his weapons at higher rates.
Wind Release: Crescent Wave- This move creates small vacuums around his blades, making them a bit sharper.

Maren leapt from building to building, his high speed showing just how late he was for his first day in a squad.
{Ugh... Today of all days... NOT cool, brain...} Maren thought, causing his brain to question why he was blaming himself. He directed his chakra into his legs, and rocketed off of the pole he'd landed on as he headed to the academy. A few seconds later, he was picking himself out of the tree he'd landed in, falling onto the swing underneath and cushioning the blow with his head.
"Ten foot drop, yup, that's the Academy swing." he said to no one in particular as he rolled himself upright. He stood up and looked around for his team, barely remembering who he was going to be teamed up with. He also sent a quick prayer off, hoping that he wasn't too late.

Ookami looked at his teammates with a smile. Maren dropped from out of nowhere landing on his head and then standing up like nothing had happened. "Is this guy for real?" Kami thought to Son as he shook his head even more. He's on your team remember that." Son stated as he let out a huge laugh. "You know one of these days i'm going to knock that smirk off your face." Kami said as his other teammate Maren, walked up.
"Maren Yasutora I suppose?" Kami said with a straight face.

Maren nodded and gave a thumbs-up, glad his team was still here.
"That's right! The Mighty Yasutora is here to show his manliness, a force that burns hotter than the strongest flame!!!" After a moment of silence, Maren dropped his pose and rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. "And I'm sorry, I'm not really good with names, you are...?" he trailed off, waiting for the other genin's response.

Konoha's White Lightning
Location: Konoha - Bunto’s Bun shop - Ninja Academy


The classroom was only silent for a bit more longer after Ookami had suddenly left. Then, the teacher broke the silence by grumbling a bit and shuffling some papers before starting once again to read off names. A couple of more groups of three left the room before Ookami returned to the classroom, as unapologetically as ever. This time the room seemed to ignore his arrival for the most part. The Hyuga walked over and stood by a desk apparently silently. The teacher stopped for a moment at the next paper, grumbling a little bit as he looked around the room. I wonder why he gets such special treatment… must be nice to be both a Hyuga and a Jinchuuriki. Rinji thought to himself with a little envy as his attention slipped away from the monetarily quiet teacher.

“Next team: Senju Rinji, Maren Yasutora, and Ookami Hyuga.”

Rinji’s attention was suddenly perked back toward the teacher. He had finally received his squad assignment! The next few moments were a blur as he quickly exited the classroom, his heart was pounding with excitement. His head filled with many ideas especially what would his Jounin be like? After he had calmed down a bit he found himself, he found himself in one of the classrooms with Ookami, the other member of his squad. The he saw their Jounin, he though he recognized them, but he couldn’t place their name. Wait a minute, where’s our last member? He asked himself looking around.

Just then the squad’s last member showed up, and Ookami exchanged pleasantries with him. When Maren identified himself, Rinji recognized him a bit by the strange thing he said, something about manliness. The ninja in training had only been around in the academy for a little while and it was surprising to Rinji that Maren had apparently graduated so early after having showed up. Maren then asked their names, saying he wasn't that good at remembering them.

“I’m Rinji.” Rinji said abruptly, leaving out his last name. He was a bit sensitive about his father, so he didn't want to bring up his lineage. “You're kind of late, did something happen?” He asked Maren, hoping to change the subject away from his own name.

It wasn't long before Kami had realized everything that was going on. Paired up with a bunch of people who would more or less be useless in the upcoming battles. Well atleast that was what Kami was hoping for. He sat down at a desk as their Jounin entered the room. Kami was shocked to see that it was Konoha's Howling Wind.

Kami looked at Rinji and then at Maren. "Well I guess the introduction part of the team is finished. So whats next?" Kami asked as he leaned back on a desk. He hadn't noticed it at first but when he really took the woman into perspective, he noticed everything about her. She wore blue and burgandy ninja robes, and the jounin jacket. She had pale skin and ice blue eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soratushi Mitsuko
Konoha's Howling Wind
Location : Academy/ Training Grounds


"Well first off, my name is Soratushi Mitsuko, but you may call me Sora, or Suko. From today on I will be serving as your jounin. Now before we even get to any type of team meeting, I want to test your skills as a team first. Now follow me." The tall light skinned woman stated as she made her way towards the door. Her voice was as soft as velvet but colder than than a katana hitting against an ice wall. She walked out of the academy and eventually arrived at the Training grounds with her students following.

"Let's begin shall we. I'll explain the rules. If you can tag me before 12:00 then I will consider you all my new team. If not then you'll be taking a long walk back to the academy. Simple? Now remember the key of this excercise is teamwork. Now begin!" Sora said as she vanished into what seemed like thin air.

Kami looked at his teammates and began speaking. "Ok look heres our best bet if we want to tag sensei. Maren you should act as a distraction and lure her out while Rinji follows up with a chidori and fools her into my Hyuuga style. Sounds simple enough right?" Kami asked with a smile as he looked at his team

"Yeah, I overslept! A guy's gotta be well-rested before a day like this!" Maren said with gusto, and would have continued had their mentor not spoken up, at which point he had turned to face her, albeit not in the most attentive stance. He followed her to the training grounds, listened without raising any questions, and waited for Ookiki(Anyone get the pun? If you do, congrats.) to finish his spiel. THEN he started acting serious.
"Okay, but I'm warning you now-" he paused as he brought out a scroll and made a sign. After the poof of smoke, most of the general area was covered in near-invisible wires, forged under the belly of the King Salamander himself to act as a mousetrap to anyone larger than they were, and then Maren continued. "-There's a reason I got out of the Academy in under two years. I had never wielded chakra before, and... Well, you probably heard about what happened at the final exam." People were still questioning how he'd made so many doppelgangers with the same jutsu as everyone else. "Just do me a favor and don't hold us back, Monkey Boy. Gentle Fist is risky if the opponent is faster than you, and well, in an open fight, she's a jonin with Wind chakra, and we're not besides, all we need to do is tag her, not harm her. Flash, how good are you with that Chidori?" His tone had taken on that of a leader, and he pulled out a kunai, twirling it in his fingers. "How fast can you move with it, and how much of a toll is it on you? There's no point in using it if it'll put you out of commission for the rest of the day. Two partners after a failed plan is better than one after a successful one." He dropped to one knee and drew out a second plan in the dirt. "If you can use it without putting yourself at too great a risk, we'll stick with Monkey Boy's plan. If not, we'll both try to direct her towards the field, where we can move in the wires with better ease than her, and MB can use his gentle fist with a better advantage." He looked up to Rinji, awaiting his response. "Also, you guys might want to stay at least five feet away from me if we do end up actually fighting, unless you want several sharp things in your personal space."

"Was this kid serious? I mean I know we just got on teams and all but he does realize that no matter how young he is to graduate the academy, when it comes to serious fighting, I'm a genius." Kami thought to Son who gave a wild remark. "We should show him how much of wind users we are." Son stated.

Kami looked up at everyone and nodded, wether he liked it or not Maren was actually pretty smart for a 10 year old, and slightly he was glad that all three of them paired up. "Don't worry your wires wont even come close to touching me. And don't worry about my speed, I'm faster than you think short stuff." Kami smirked as he looked to Rinji for acknowledgement. "Ok team move out." With that said, Kami had vanished and began to prepare for their team attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora looked up sighing with relieve as she rested against a tree. "Ugh damn! Why do I have to be a captain? All I wanted to do was drink wine and live my normal days." She thought as she created three seperate shadow clones and scattered them all in different directions.

"If they were planning to come at me as a team their smart, but if they were planning on attacking me seperately then that's probably the most idiotic plan I have ever seen." Well no that wasn't necessarily true. Coming into contact with someone from the past she had remembered that feeling far too well.

Senju Rinji
Konoha's White Lightning
Location: Konoha - Academy/ Training Grounds


Rinji listened intently to the other two members of his squad as they told their respective plans. They had recently arrived at the training grounds, after having followed their new Jounin leader and been instructed that she was going to test their ability. For a second Rinji was confused by Maren’s plan, though he figured out after a moment that when the boy said “Flash” he was referring to Rinji. Though Ookami made a remark and sped off before he could get a word in.

“No, I’m fine.” Rinji responded to Maren’s concerns in regard to his “Chidori”. Though he wasn’t that skilled with it, and it most definitely would put his body and chakra levels under quite a bit of strain, Rinji didn’t want to let his squad mates down. Especially after Ookami had already placed faith in his ability. “ Lets do Monkey’s plan.” He recycled Maren’s name for Ookami, it was hard for him to think of Ookami as any thing other than his favorite weapon. “Even Miss Sora will run scared when I break my out Chidori!” He relayed confidently to his new squad mate, clenching his fist in front of his face to emphasize his point.

“Alright!” Rinji said, pumping himself up to get ready. He looked at Maren. “When you’re distracting her, if it gets too tough just yell out White Lightning, and I’ll come in and help faster than you can blink!” He flashed Maren a thumbs up. “Otherwise I‘ll just attack with my Chidori when I see an opening.” He stopped for a moment, then looked at the wires. "I guess this'll be the backup plan." Then he turned to Maren. “I’ll follow your lead.”

Maren nodded, laughing on the inside as Ookami disappeared before he could have been warned about the fact that the wires were a part of his Fire Jutsu as well. Ah, well. He'd learn soon enough. Maren stood up, nodded to Rinji, and pulled the twin swords off of his back.
"Good luck Flash, but again, if you feel the slightest bit uneasy about the jutsu, don't risk it. It's time for the Mighty Yasutora to show what it means to be a man!" With less than the blink of an eye, he was already on the other side of the field, having woven through his wires like they were so much mist. He sent a quick word of thanks to the Academy teacher who had explained to him the concept of chakra's different applications. One of those, he'd realized, was not only increased traction, but the addition of Wind chakra compressed the air just enough for a light kid like him to jump off of, literally allowing him to run on air(As a warning, this is NOT Tsubame's Wind Walk, she can just stand there in the air and barely burn her chakra. He's using lumps of it to jump like this.) As he reached the other side of the field, he saw three separate Soratushis leap out of the forest in different directions. He'd done enough research on different jutsus that could branch off from the ones he could already do, so he knew that Shadow Clones(he assumed that these were those because a jonin would almost never use an intangible clone when a physical one worked even better) divvied up the user's chakra evenly, and so would cause the user to either A)Go for full strength in numbers(usual tactics), or B)hang back and let the clones do the work while they hid and planned(Naruto's finisher in the fight with Neji, Maren's reason for warning Monkey Boy). As Maren thought, he realized that the latter would be the more likely, due to Soratushi's likely belief that they would try to take her on one-on-one(They were kids, what else would she expect?), and thus she would have needed to send out three clones. Mathwise, that would bring her down to 1/4 her chakra, and Maren liked those numbers. He went into the forest, the origin of the clones, and leapt into a tree, sticking underneath it with his chakra. He never did get a grasp on any jutsu above C rank, but boy, did he make up for it with control! He then proceeded to comb the forest, leaving wires all over the place. THESE were his babies. Unlike the wires out on the field, which were about as likely to break as a diamond, these were hair trigger, and connected to small explosive tags. If someone even TOUCHED the wire after him, the general area could be used for a barbecue after the flames died down(Because we all know fire-style is damn near useless in Naruto). He then took his swords and leapt a safe distance away. One shuriken later, and not only did he know they worked, but also that he'd have Soratushi on the run. And as long as she was out of the forest, they had an advantage.

Soratushi noticed the small wires through the eyes of one of her clones, feeling a bit impressed that their three man team had already began working on their team strategies, however she would put that to the test very soon. As one of her clones noticed Maren, she immediately jumped towards him spinning her fan and throwing bits and pieces of little iron shards that were infused with chakra, aimed straight for Maren.

The second clone however had been tailing Rinji for sometime now and was on the verge of attacking but stopped midway and hid herself alongside one of the brushes and set up a couple trip wires of her own, before resuming her follow up attack on the young boy by launchin Kunai bombs at him, highly aware of the little trip wires set up by Maren.

The third clone had intercepted Ookami and engaged in a battle with him.

"They think because my chakra's been split up, I'm vulnerable. Hahaha these kids might just entertain me for a little longer."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kami had jumped back to a far away brush and began thinking of each move carefully as the veins in his eyes began to grow more and more intense. "Byakugan!" He instantly said as he noticed all the moving chakra's on the battlefield.
There were six of them besides himself and he knew why. "She must be using the shadow clones like I thought." Kami mumbled as he formed a few hand signs.

As a voice appeared behind him with a quick laugh, "Very intuitive of you Ookami, but that isn't enough to beat me." Sarutoshi said as she began to attack Kami. Punch after punch followed by a kick here or there with a couple kunai inbetween, was barely anything for Kami to worry about as he wondered if the team was doing ok. He dodged another kick and sent a surge of chakra through the clone's body getting adjusted back to his original plan as it popped.

(OOC: Do your research, Shadow Clones don't deliver info until they've been dispersed. No one but that clone knows about the wires, and I'll repeat myself: You need to be looking for them to find them.) Maren saw the clone sling the iron shards at him, and slung a Fuhma shuriken at them, the large whirling blade controlled by a wire as it knocked the shards aside. Maren pulled it in close to build momentum, and then sent it flying towards the shadow clone, who was too busy spinning her fan to block or dodge the large chunk of sharp metal, or the fireball Maren sent along the wire, resulting in a lovely inferno. He then dropped the shuriken from the poof of spent chakra onto another wire, this one lined up with a nearly dead tree. The resulting explosion finished the job, sending splinters everywhere along the general area, infringing on the personal space of anyone who happened to be there. One motion of his hands later, and there were ten doppelgangers alongside him. He decided to play on the same grounds as Soratushi, and sent his copies ahead, single file, each just out of earshot of the other's footsteps, so each would seem to be alone, yet instantly alert the others if it was attacked. He decided to place himself 9th in the line, to guarantee that he'd be aware of any assault. They then proceeded to all move throughout the forest, looking for Soratushi. (Before you think you can detect them by their lack of shadow, realize that they are in a heavily shaded forest.)

Sarutoshi felt 2/3 of her shadow clones dissapear as the chakra that was infused with them, came rushing back like a pot to the head. She stood up showing her semi-tall and slender figure as her hair cascaded over her shoulders. She stepped forward noticing the wire's that had her shadow clones had seen.

She smiled to herself as she stood in the middle of ther field and opened her tessen fan. It was a blue fan that was stripped and tipped with burgandy edges, and spears at the end. She chuckled as she formed a couple handsigns in a quick pattern. The wind began to get restless as it began howling and blowing harder. "It's time to clear the air." Sarutoshi said as she looked at forest. Jumping into the air she caught a giant gust of wind in her fan as she let loose on the forest. "Wind Release: Wind Cutter Jutsu." She said as she slashed all around the forest clearing away trees in an instant,

Maren heard the rush of wind and snapping trees before it got to him and his clones, which gave him time for him to drop to the forest floor before the gust came through. As he stood up, he saw smoke wafting up from where the bombs that had been set off by the felled trees used to be, and took note of the ones that were still armed. Of course, destroying a good portion of a forest makes you quite visible, and Maren saw their teacher in front of him, sure that this was the real one. Even more assured by the fact she had to have only 1/5th of her chakra at most at this point, he had one of the three remaining clones run out to meet her by leaping into the air for an aerial strike with his twin swords, averting both weaknesses of the Clone Jutsu by making her focus on an aerial target(too high up to see the shadow) and the lack of any physical contact with anything. As it dropped from above, Maren prepped a shuriken-multiplying jutsu, tacking on a tracking jutsu as well, and aimed it at where Soratushi would be if she were to try and intercept the clone like her personality would make her do. After all, he was a genin on his own, she was a jonin, who didn't think they were clever enough to work cohesively as a unit AND had assumed her Shadow Clones would be enough to take out the team. If she DIDN'T fall for this bait, she'd be breaking character more than the English dub of almost ANY One Piece character.

Senshiro looked towards the new face that had just joined the now ever growing group. She had heard him say something about them looking more scarier in person than in the projections they were so fond of using. "Really? I don't find myself to be scary." She said with a slight pause and grinned before continuing, " I don't understand everyone's reasoning for saying im evil." She laughed at this even more, shrugging her shoulders she continued walking. It wasn't too long before Yuuki decided to stop and hold the meeting where we were. Seeing as how all of the members had gathered along the path instead of meeting at the Land of Honey. However there were some questions that were running through her brain, as to why a person who still needed to be initiated into the group was going through no test. Finally she decided to speak up, "I have a question. Did Joruri even go through a test to join us or are you letting him in because of his superior puppet skills?" She asked and then noticed the ice dome beginning to form around them. "Wow, really surprising Yuuki-san. It's no wonder that your the leader of the group." She said giggling as she sat down and looked at the rest of the group.

The clones where a nice trick, she had to admit that. But there where some choices that she had to make.
1. Was the fact that she could allow herself to be hit and that would be the end of this excercise. However that wouldn't be letting them go to the best of their abilities.
2. Would be that she could counter the attack but then have to continue fighting which would be a bother for her seeing as how she was in need of a drink.

Soratushi huffed for a second and let out a sigh right after. Deciding quickly in her mind she allowed the attack to graze her as she dissapeared and reappeared infront of the three logs." This test is over. Maren has succesfully touched me so therefore I will recognize you as my genin. Now, from this point on you will be known as Squad 9." She said outloud, knowing that she allowed him to graze her so she could go get her drink. However she did have to admit to the fact that their teamwork was well executed even if Maren did do most of the work. "Now that that's over with, lets go out and celebrate the formation of your new squad." The jounin said with a smile as she looked at the three boys.

Kami was prepared for any attack. He was certain of the fact that each person would follow the plan to exact to the letter. Maren however had other ideas see as how he was taking Sensei head on. Which was pretty brave, he had to admit that to himself but then again there wasn't really anything that he could do about it. Knowing that he head to be ready for a signal from either one of them. Son however felt the anticipation of wanting to fight running through Kami's veins. But he knew he couldn't allow him to go all out here, so close to the village that Kurama and Naruto had protected. "Don't even think about it. Your not going out there." Son stated to Kami in a serious manner. Kami sighed and deactivated his byakugan as he saw Soratushi get hit by Maren's attack. "Well that was a waste of planning." He said as he walked towards the center where Sensei was and looked at Maren with a smile and held his hand up. "Nice job Yasutora." Kami stated with a grin.

Maren frowned at Soratushi.
"You let a CLONE hit you. I hardly believe that being hit by an illusion counts as a hit, so the test is still on. Ookami, Rinji, I think now is the best time to finish this." He took a fighting stance as he said so, his fighting spirit flaring up around him. He took two steps and flickered to behind Soratushi, his right hand flaring up as he balled it into a fist.
"MAKE US EARN IT!" He shouted, the flames licking around him burning brighter as he threw his punch towards their teacher's back. The punch didn't look like one that was going to be pleasant, but it was really only meant to direct her towards Rinji and Monkey Boy.

After Maren had sped off, Rinji got on the move as well. Though for him, it was much harder to traverse the wires Maren had set up. The going was very slow as the young ninja tried his best to get through them without moving at a snail’s pace. Thought it took some time, he finally saw an end to the wires.

“Finally!” He exclaimed softly under his breath. Though just as he reached the exit he heard the twang of a wire in the distance. “Oh, n-” He was cut of as a large area exploded, sending him tumbling forward. Out of the tree that he was in. He recovered several moments, and a few hundred feet, later.

I guess Maren wanted to draw here out. He thought, as he stood up and brushed himself off. Then he proceeded to follow the sounds of battle as quickly as he could. Though he made sure to keep as far back as he could without loosing them.

Suddenly Rinji go the feeling that someone was following him. He quickly checked behind him but found nothing. Must have been my imagination. He figured, though a few seconds later he heard the whistling of Kunai behind him. He dodged quickly, but didn’t realize until after they had impacted that they were explosive.

Yet again, Rinji was sent flying through the air by an explosion. Though luckily this time it was much smaller, so he recovered quickly. Sending himself into a controlled tumble by rebounding of the ground with his arm, he launched smoke bombs all around him and proceeded to speed as far away from the area as he could. It wasn’t his job to openly engage the enemy and he didn’t want to mess up the plan.

A few moments later from what he could tell he had lost his pursuer. Must have been a clone or something He guessed, considering the sounds of battle still raged nearby.

As stealthily as he could, he snuck up on the battle, and proceeded to watch it from afar. Though he didn’t have to wait long, as he saw one of Maren’s clones graze Sora.

Huh? Rinji squinted, confused. He wondered if it could be that easy. Though a voice came quickly from a clone that had appeared behind him. Both startling him and informing him that the test was over by saying the exact same thing its creator was. Though Rinji nearly fell out of the tree he was in, he got the gist of the information and made his way over to his new squad.

“Uhh, yeah, good job Maren.” Rinji said as he approached the others, mimicking Ookami’s congratulations to their successful squad mate. Even though Rinji was a bit disappointed that he really hadn’t had a chance to show off his skills.

Though Maren didn’t seem willing to accept his own success. Rinji was too caught off guard to react as the boy flickered behind their squad leader and launched a wicked looking attack. Rinji simply took a step back and stared in shock.

She noticed Maren's current attack that was aime at her back. No matter what the situation was, you never attacked her after she had declared that she lost because to her it was like a slap in the face and it seriously pissed her off. Moving almost instantly her fan slid open and stopped Yasutora's fist. She the flicked her wrist and launched a massive air gust that surrounded the fiery genin. "I said that the fight was over correct?" She said as she kept her eyes fixed on the other two genin, waiting for either one of them to slip up.

Kami stared at Maren as he launched his attack. "Ok this was crazy, if sensei had declared that she lost, why was Maren so quick to jump on the attack and go straight for her. It just didn't make any sense." Kami thought to himself as he noticed the gust of air that began to surround Maren. "Son, what do you think about Maren's chakra level? Would you have any fun if we fought him?" Kami thought to son as he chuckled.
Son grinned and let out a laugh "his speed seems incredible along with his power. Who knows I would probably let you use two tails just to see how much control you have." Kami laughed with a bit of uncertainty in his voice, "Don't you think that would be a bit much even just for a test?"
Son sighed," If there's anything I taught you it's to not underestimate your opponents now just watch."

Maren grinned as she intercepted his punch, and the flames surrounding him transferred to her fan, not going out and burning beyond all repair. as she launched the gust of wind, he flickered again and reappeared behind her, tagging her after extinguishing himself, leaving the fan melted and broken.
"A man never accepts a victory that he didn't earn! And you shouldn't underestimate your own genin, or else a new fan is the least of your issues!" As he finished speaking, his legs gave way and he fell, having spent almost all of his chakra on his Kekkei Genkai. As his knees hit the ground, he laughed, almost mocking her laziness costing her the fan, and blacked out before he hit the ground, letting the sweet bliss of sleep take over.
