"So guys.", he said looking amongst the students. "It turns out that I get to be your new Jonin instructor. That means I will accompany you on your missions and help you work together as a team.", looking to Akado he added, "You need some help in that area."
Akado smirked. "My bad."
"I think it would be a good idea to have a test battle to see how good you guys can work together as a team. You three had the right idea but lets try working together this time. I've laid a few traps in a field about a mile from here. We'll go there and have a sparring match. You three vs me."
A few minutes later -----------------------------------
Kesshi stood atop a small rock, sword in hand, looking over his students.
"Alright, here are the rules of the game. All you three have to do is knock me down and you win. I highly suggest you combine your efforts because I don't plan on making this easy."
"Let's just get started already.", Akado barked.
"Alright then. 3, 2, 1, go."
With a flourish Kesshi disappeared from the rock he was standing on and the three Genin were left alone to plan their strategy.
