Episode 2 "...Ra-NE-Sas!" Chanted Yumi "Inward Darkness Jutsu"
Finishing up her jutsu, A dark cloud spouted out of her finger tips. It continued, soon her entire hands, then here arms, were engulfed in the dark smoke. As it creeped out, the smoke started to afect the crowd. "Is that what I think it is?" thought nagasaki.
The black smoke had reached his foot. It went numb.
"It is..." Trailing off, snapping back into reality, he yelled "EVERYBODY OUT! THIS JUTSU IS DANGEROUS! COM'ON! MOVE IT PEOPLE"
but it was to late. the smoke had reached the first person, and soon overtook the entire class.
Keeping her hands together in the final seal, she concentrated on keeping the Genjutsu. 3 minutes into it, she could start to feel the effects. after 4 minutes, she was struggling.
"Damn it." she cursed inwardly, "I knew I should have picked an easier Genjutsu"
"come on, 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
She had done it. The clock struck 0, and Yumi quickly undid the jutsu. Of couse, the entire class had been sitting in total darkness, without any contact with there senses for 7 minutes. Needless to say, some kids were unhappy.
"AGGG"
"OWWW"
"IT BUUUUUUUUURNS"
THUD
The first three were average kids complianing, the last was a kid passing out.
"Well, that killed 'em" said coal.
In response to this, Maiko slaped him on the side of the head.
"Smartass"
His thoughts his own, Nagasaki was wondering how this genin was able to pull this off. I mean, sure Yumi was the star Genjutsu ninja in the class, but if she had used the jutsu to the full extent of it's power, everyone would be half-crazed or even braindead by now.
Clearing his throat, Nagasaki cued the class to shut up. "Yumi, that was beyond what was expected. you pass with flying colors"
Standing next to Coal, Maiko whispered "I didn't know that colors flew"
Coal laughed.
The rest of the exams flew by without any thrill. One girl got so scared that she wet herself, then passed out. Coal was about to fail for the simple reason that he didn't know any Genjutsu to use. He finally settled on making Nagasaki think that he was a penguin with a taco. Maiko did 'fine' as Nagasaki put it. She did the infamous 'endless coridoor' trick, in which one door leads to another which leads to another door and eventually ends up back where you started.
-The Next day at the postings-
"all right! I passed!"said coal, proclaiming the obvious.
"No shit you passed, anyone who can make Nagasaki think that he's a feaking penguin with a taco is a freaking genius"
"well, did you pass Maiko"
"der"
Lunging into an embrace, coal gave Maiko a huge hug. Well, it was more like a strangle hold.
"The only thing that could make this day better is if we were put on the same squad! Do you know how great that would be"
"I wish..." Whispered Maiko, enjoying the embrace "um, Maiko, I'm kindda done hugging you, you can let go now"
"oh, sorry" said a disdaunghted Maiko. "We'd better get to the squad readings"
"Wow, I passed. Whoopty-fuckin-do." Sighed Shindo "it wasn't worth it"
-Flashback-
"Shindo, I know that you can't use Genjutsu, so you will be given a separate test." said Nagasaki "it's not like i can't use it, it just, i don't like it. I'd rather fight strait forward then do some half-ass jutsu that makes it so my opponite go insane, or think that they can't move. At least use a REAL jutsu"
"Well, whatever you say in your defense, you still can't use Genjutsu. that's why you'll be taking the ninjutsu test"
raising a brow, shindo said, "what kind of test"
"all you have to do is show me all of the basic jutsu- transform, escape, clone, and the other one that always escapes my mind..." trailing off, Nagasaki looked at Shindo, seeing if he'd agree.
"I suppose that this is the only way for me to pass, isn't it"
nodding, Nagasaki motioned for him to start.
-end flashback-
"i cheated..." Thought Shindo as he headed for the Squad listing room.
