The Path A Ninja Walks...
Chapter Six
Scattered!
Work Together or Fail Together,
There Is No Go Between!
A/N: WARNING-The character known as Sage Amesawa uses a lot of profanity and colorful language as part of his "colorful" personality. Be prepared if you are sensitive to that. Please note it is not because I condone such manner of speech, and also the character does not mean to use it as a way to be harmful, it is just his personality.
This will prove a difficult challenge!
Saseme dashed through the trees.
We'll need to use weapons just to be able to stand ground with her skill level...!
She huffed.
Though hurting the sensei was not the intention and she normally wouldn't want to risk doing something dangerous. But the logics behind the clear difference in their skill level was overwhelming.
I need to calm down...!
She thought to herself as she stopped in her place. She darted her eyes, annalyzing the surrounding area.
Up...Down...Left...Right...
There was no one around.
She was alone.
Good...I'm hidden.
She thought to herself and let out a long and heavy sigh as she got down in a kneeling position to take a meditative stance.
Now then...gather your thoughts...

"This is an ourtrage!" Hana huffed.
"I'm stuck with two good for nothings in a test that has no fairness to it at all!"
How the hell are we supposed to succeed at all!?
"Hmph...stupid sensei." Hana huffed as she folded her arms.
Well it's not like I can countrol either one of them...I may as well just get both scrolls myself!
She huffed.
They can thank me later...
She kneeled down low and pressed her fingers to the grass, closing her eyes as she listened to her surroundings and felt for the vibrations of motion in the fauna.
Got you!
She smirked and disappeared in a fading of flower petals.

Kokoua yawned as she leaned back resting against a tree.
"I wonder how long it will take those little rug rats to get here and even attempt to take one of these~" she smirked as she tossed a scroll up and down with one hand.
"You know sensei...you really shouldn't be so lax in the middle of a keep away mission~"
"Hmm?" Kokoua opened one eye,"Ahh...Hana Kimouri...the first to find me, I see~" she said,"A gifted tracker it seems." she chuckled.
"Only one of my many talents~" Hana smirked, suddenly she began weaving hand signs and suddenly all of the bushes and trees and surrounding flowers began to bloom. The scenery looked like something out of a dreamy fairy tale. though everything moved and swayed in a dizzying and hypnotic motion. Kokoua more or less seemed impressed, yet...unphased.
"Oh please..." she sighed,"Shinobi art technique number two...Genjutsu...the art of illusion...simple mind control~" she huffed and and weaved a breaking sign,"Release!" she huffed, and as the illusion swayed out of proportion, a single wave of her arm caused it to dissipate entirely and sent Hana flying backwards just as she got close to the scrolls at Kokoua's waist.
"Ahhhh!" She let out a scream as the foliage in the background bloomed to break her fall back.
"Illusion...a useful tactic...Genjutsu works well as a diversion or to buy time..." she smirked,"But you should watch your pride- for if you become too full of yourself you could bring about a downfall of yourself or another that could have been avoided~" she smirked and vanished in a rose petal wind.

"Damn how can I jack a scroll from a bitch who'se got like-10 times the ninja experience than I do!?" Sage huffed as his hands ruffled through his hair-
A Jonin bitch against a genin runt is hardly a match between them...
he sighed.
"She'd crush me in an instant..."
He gasped as his blue green eyes widened.
That is unless...I have a little help perhaps~?
he mirked and began weaving a string of hand signs.
"Rainbow Technique! 7 Color Clone no Jutsu!"
In an instant Sage Amesawa became an array of 7 colored bodies, 8 in total if you count the original. Each separate one a different color of the rainbow, and each with its own unique ability.
"My my...impressive~" Kokoua chuckled as she clapped her hands.
Shit-! She found me!
He huffed and gave a pout.
"Well...so much for the element of surprise on my side..." He smirked.
"An Amesawa special technique." he smirked as he vanished while the seven colors charged in at her.
Ah-all at once!
She gasped softly.
Kokoua blocked as a red one landed a punch against her guard and then cracked a smile as he sudden self destructed, covering her inred colored dye.
"Ahhh!" she let out a cry as she leapt out of the smoke,"It seems your clones range better in Ninja technique number 1... Taijutsu! The physical art! Along with some...hidden surprises~" she chuckled, her clothes were now ruined...and she also had ink stains on her skin.
So the red clone works as a detonator...with the effects of a paper bomb that explodes upon contact and exerts a smoke screen!
She coughed. Suddenly a yellow flash came at her from seemingly all directions.
I see...so the yellow one exerts speed...!
Finally stopping it in its tracks with a kick that poofed him away, and spotted her in yellow colored ink. The orange one leapt from above and prepared for a full throttle attack. She immediatly leapt out of the way the orange impact causing a smoking crater in the ground though as he landed and disappeared. She still got spattered with orange splatters
Orange hones his strength!
She turned to punch the purple clone that was running toward her, who upon contact released a thick purple smoke screen.
Damn he got me in a smoke screen...I can't see!
She coughed as suddenly a green hand reached up from the earth below and gripped her ankle. She released a gasp and attempted a swirling kick that sent him flying back with a hard smack against a tree that poofed him away, dying its trunk green
Amesawa Arts use Rainbow Arts...
There are seven said colors in the rainbow...so there should be one more clone somewhere!
She thought to herself before taking in a deep breath and realeasing a guttoral wind from within to clear the smoke screen. Suddenly from above a blue Sage prepared to make contact. Catching her off guard before suddenly exploding into a blue splash before even landing a hit.
He must have reached his limit!
She thought to herself as she shook off the blue dye that had drenched her. Suddenly she felt heavier.
I see...water weight...
She thought.
Had that clone of his landed a hit it would have been a rather blunt force...
Looking ahead she saw Sage hunched over and panting and she gave him a smirk.
"Nice moves, kid~" she said as she tossed up a scroll that he failed to retrieve,"However, it seems you can't maintain it for very long...it depletes too much chakra~"
"Grrhhh...Dammit!" he huffed with a fist shoved to the ground and leapt away quickly.
She's right...that technique does exert a hell of a lot of chakra from me...!
He huffed.
I can't believe not a single one of my fucking clones could even get close to nabbing a scroll from her!
He panted.
So this is a Jonin...
He thought to himself.
Amazing...I just hope Saseme is having a better time than I am at the moment...
xxxxx
I've got it!
Saseme thought to herself as her eyes snapped open and she disappeared toward her designated battle...
"Phew..." Kokoua let out a heavy sigh,"That Amesawa kid's sure got some fight, huh?" she chuckled, "Now there should be one more...I wonder where she could possibly be."
"...Don't worry." Saseme chimed as she stepped out of the shadows,"I'm not far..."
Kokoua gasped as Seseme stepped into the shade and glared at her with crimson eyes before slowly fading away.
An illusion...
Kokoua blinked.
I see...the sharingan eye...
But it seems it's not fully developed in this one just yet...
"Hmmm..." she smirked,"Ninja technique number three...Ninjutsu." she smirked,"Let's begin."
From behind her, Saseme dashed forward as she weaved hand signs with her sharingan still active.
"Fire style!" she called out.
"What!?" Kokoua gasped,"Genin shouldn't be able to use fire style...it uses too much chakra there's no way!"
Saseme smirked.
"...Spit Fire no Jutsu!"
"What!?"
Balling up both her fists as she ran Saseme spat small flames around her hands, forming flaming fists which she then began swinging at Kokoua at rapid speed.
I see...this one combines her Ninjutsu with her Taijutsu making for flaming punches! Not bad!
She smirked and weaved as she ducked and sent an uppercut into the young Uchiha's gut.
"Ungh!" She let out a grunt, but this wasn't the end of Saseme, as the impact sent her flying into the air she decided to use this to her advantage. While in air she moved her body as she weaved hand signs sending a massive ball of fire around a single hand that which she pointed downward as she fell.
"...METEOR CRUSH!"
As she made impact with the earth below a massive explosion played out from the contact of her fiery fist to the ground, causing Kokoua to leap upward, which Saseme used once more as she took advatange of her position turning her body and side swipe the teacher with a kick to the side with so much force Kokoua had to use both hands to block it.
This girl is something else entirely!
Kokoua thought to herself.
Such is a gift that comes from being Uchiha I suppose...!
Saseme smirked as Kokoua had both hands occupied leaving her hips that which the scrolls were strapped to, and exposed to her, so in twisting her body she turned and managed to knock one loose.
This girl...!
Kokoua gasped as she flipped her body and snapped the free scroll right back into her grip before landing on her feet and sliding a good distance back.
"No!" Saseme huffed.
"HaHaHaHa~ That's the closest any of you have ever gotten!" Kokoua laughed,"Such a shame too...perhaps if you had only had a little help...you might have actually succeeded in taking it~!" She smirked as she held up a sign and disappeared into a rose petal wind.
Say what...?
...A little help...?
Saseme panted as she thought this over before letting out a sudden gasp.
Of course!
She thought to herself.
It's so basic!
Without a second thought Saseme leapt into the trees... in search of her allies.
