Part 2
Around midday that day Iwao and Sayuri were sitting around a fire, cooking four fish. Hebi, not liking fish, had gone off to find her own food.
"Hello daddy," she said walking up behind a tall woman on a tree branch, wearing an off-white kimono with a huge purple rope tied into a bow on her back, a big straw hat, and a head band underneath it with the symbol for a grass ninja on it. The woman turned and immediately grinned evilly.
"Well, if it isn't my darling daughter!" she said in a strange voice. "Come give daddy a hug."
"Right . . . sure," Hebi rolled her eyes. "So, what's with the new disguise? Looking for a new minion . . . or a new body?"
"A little bit of both," she replied with a wicked smile. "Are you still with them?"
"Yes I am. Why, you got a problem with it?"
Suddenly the woman's neck extended and she opened her mouth, (revealing a row of fangs and a long tongue that lolled out of her mouth) aiming to bite Hebi right here her neck met her shoulder, "Yes, in fact, I do!" She hissed
Hebi sidestepped and the woman's face rammed into the trunk of the tree behind her, "Now, now daddy," she said as she jumped off the branch, "you should know better than that."
:-D(-:
There was a flash of light as the sun hit the flying kunai for a brief instant. "Well that's gonna keep my position hidden," Hebi said, jumping over to pick up the skewered rabbit.
As she pulled the throwing knife out of the rabbit's head, a team of ninjas appeared behind her. She turned to look and the three Genin. The one on the left was fat and wearing a short sleeve, green jacket over an off white shirt and had a long scarf wrapped around his neck. His fore-head protector (with Konoha's leaf symbol on it) was tied around and over his head keeping his brown hair separated, and he was busy scarfing down a bag of chips. The one in the middle(who obviously thought this was a drag) had his black hair in a pony tail. He was wearing a short sleeve jacket over a fishnet shirt, his fore-head protector attached to the sleeve of his jacket. The third, a Kunoichi also had her blond hair in a pony tail, but she had a forelock hanging over her face. She was wearing a blue-violet kimono and had her fore-head protector tied, loosely, around her neck.
"Ultimate Battle formation!" They shouted in unison.
"Ino! "
"Shika!"
"Cho!"
They name themselves from right to left.
Suddenly the one in the middle made a hand seal and his shadow extended catching Hebi and forcing her into the same stance.
The other two looked at him, "Shikamaru!" the blond exclaimed.
"Need . . . help!" he grunted.
The kunoichi made a hand-seal in front of her face but Shikamaru and Hebi sidestepped out of the way of the mind-transfering jutsu. The Kunoichi fell to the ground, unconscious.
"INO!" the fat one cried out, he turned on Shikamaru "What was that for?"
"It . . . wasn't . . . me! I can't move and I can't release the jutsu either!" Shikamaru grunted.
The fat Shanobi made a hand-seal, inflated into a huge ball, pulled his head and appendages in, and rolled, like a huge bolder down a mountain, at Hebi. To the two ninjas' surprise, Hebi didn't move an inch. As the big "boulder" got about two feet from Hebi a shield of darkness sprang up form nowhere and stopped him.
"Chochi!" Shikamaru shouted. "What'd you do to him?"
"Nothing, he just ran into my shield," she replied and licked the rabbit blood off her kunai; Shikamaru grimaced as he lifted his hand to his mouth. Then a fist of darkness formed and punched the still rolling Chochi, throwing him, hard, into a tree. He'd've broken his back if he hadn't been inflated. "That time I did something to him," She noticed Shikamaru glaring at her, "Oh calm down," she said putting her kunai n her pouch, "he's not hurt, just knocked out. I can't have ya'll following me." She started walking forward, forcing Shikamaru to walk forward. "You never use any type of element against a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Elements," she pointed her thumb to her forehead-protector. "Shadow is one of those elements, and it's my strongest." She stopped walking when they were face-to-face. She lifted her fist, forcing Shikamaru to do the same.
She threw a punch.
Shikamaru threw his punch.
Her's hit him square in the face, his got about two inchs from her face when it slammed into her shield of darkness. Her punch threw him back, unconscious. She reached into her pouch, pulled out her team's scroll and threw it in the air then used her darkness to catch it and put it in Shikamaru's pouch, "You can have it," she said, turning and leaving, "I don't think my teammates are gonna make it through the rest of the exam." As she walked away, Ino's mind returned to her from the failed mind-transfer jutse. She slowly stood up and looked around. She saw her fallen comrades, then saw Hebi walking away. She ran over and just as she was about to punch, Hebi spun landing a kick to Ino's face, knocking her out and throwing her into a tree. Hebi jumped away into the under growth.
