[attr="class","dorado2"]The leaf ninja would set a set of brown eyes in the brunette as she ignored his advice And simply went straight for the chase and put herself in a leader position. He didn't mind, at least not in the outside... But the dark haired genin had learned his lesson a few times now and his gut told him that the brunette wasn't one he would follow if he had a real choice and more than a rabbit was at stake.  He made a mental note to just follow, he had been a pushover -scratch that, he still was- and knew how to nod and bite his tongue. He would follow the girl, her clone technique seemed different from what he had seen in the past, but ultimately he didn't think too much on it, it might be an iwagakure jutsu only they knew about.  He would go right when the clone went left. He attempted to be quiet and not split around too much, as he attempted to avoid any traps and obstacles he faced. If swinging axes were met he would attempt to avoid them and only jack could tempt him into going past them. Honestly, of they spent too much time chasing, Roku might just throw teamwork out the window and attempt his own plan. In his mind, a frightened or chased animal, or human, would never stop running until they literally couldn't run anymore. And this rabbit? It wasn't any ordinary rabbit, it was a shinobi raised rabbit... If his path took him nowhere near axes he would attempt to locate the rabbit and gently herd it in one direction, holding his arms out in an attempt to make him seem more like a wall than a somewhat skinny teen.  [attr="class","dorado3"] [attr="class","dorado4"] [attr="class","dorado5"]# TAG [attr="class","dorado6"]Their life is worth a hundred of mine...

From his position in the back Jack couldn't see what the trio were up to, but he could definitely hear them. Strangely enough his ears were picking up a fourth pair of footsteps and for a moment the rabbit wondered if he had missed one of the participants.. nah, it couldn't be. No matter, they'd struggle with the traps just as much as the others. The first girl would take it upon herself to scout out the maze best she could, even going so far as to split herself in two to try and get a better lay of the land. It would not be easy but being able to stop and start one momentum with the axes helped. The walls would rotate once before becoming still once more and not another peep from them for some time. Continuing to move along would make it tough to discern their timing but since the rabbit was the ultimate goal it seemed the right choice to keep things moving along, and that she did, ending up on the far sides of where Jack was sitting.

The strange girl would try her best to discern the patterns as well, and while the axes could be figured out the spear heads she saw did not move an inch from their entrenched position. Were they broken? This was an intricate looking room so perhaps a bit of maintenance had slipped through the cracks... Jack would shift its attention to the first figure he saw: the girl, standing some feet in front of him. She didn't look all that great and her words were even worse. Did his boopy snoot not have any effect on her? Oh well...

And what of the boy? His path had been the safest out of all three and it was clear that he was much more interested in getting his hands on the rabbit than figuring out the room. There was merit to both ideas but the true test would come when Jack had properly stretched himself out and really got to going. He had been trained for this course over... quite some time and knew it like the back of his.. uh... paws. Every trap, every axe, every revolving door he knew how to use to his advantage and there was no way in hell he was going to let himself be caught by a few lowly genin. Not today. Not ever.

The girl was in front of him, the boy somewhere off to the side and still two sets of footprints trying to flank outside. They were trying to corner him. Smart. If rabbits could smile Jack would have been, though maybe it would have looked more like a devilish grin. In a jiffy the rabbit would hop forward, his feet not burdened with the slippery ice, going ten feet before taking an immediate left into the hole. He'd move twenty feet across into a hall with swinging axes, his frame small enough to safely travel underneath them. He could have waited here for a bit and watched the genin get sliced up but that'd be no fun... for them. Instead, Jack would jet down the path another thirty feet before snuggling into another hole putting him in the middle room. He wasn't heavy enough to crack the thin ice beneath him but these kids? They'd best watch their step else they were in for a very wet and chilly surprise.

    Neither girl would see the rabbit from their position forced back they would turn into the inner corridor, slamming the axe into the ice just on the otherside of the axe room openings. One had been followed by Rokurou, while Kuni was no where in sight for the girls. They would look again to notice the rabbit in the center room, but neither was an idiot. Tired, but not stupid. This creature was trained for this room, and knew it in and out. This was the rabbit's playhouse and they were simply invaders to it.

    Unsealing a few Kunai the two would prepare to throw the items through the narrow openings shown by the spear walls and the normal wall of ice. Each producing 3, and charging them. This would be simple enough. An easy maneuver. The one to the right side (Kazura) of the room tossing the kunai into the ice wall's rabbit holes closest to them, or just above rather, blocking them up. Crumbling the ice structure slightly from the power behind the kunai. The one on the left however, (Sui) would toss her kunai in an odder pattern, two heading for the closest two rabbit holes on the far wall as quickly as she could, the kunai again embedding into the ice and crumbling the structure. Attempting to further box in the rabbit as best they could. The last however, would be thrown last not directly to the rabbit but near it, close enough within its icy tile that it would land and spook the creature at least, as the impact of the kunai would certainly break the ice.

It didn't take long for the rabbit to once again take off, frustrated. Kuni followed the spikes between the walls an the room to look where Jack possibly went. Kuni's eyes widened when an even longer hallway of the same axes blocked the goal. The girl walked back to the center room to see Suika and... Suika trying to isolate the critter, smart, but what was she planning. As Kuni cautiously got her way back to the center room, he questioned how much Jack was playing them what did he know. It looked like Suika might have snapped and threw a kunai at the little rabbit. Geez, okay. Using her Long Limb technique in both arms, Kuni crossed her arms in a downward slam, unknowingly - and most likely - shattering the sides of the floor. Essentially leaving a would-be bridge of the center row of tiles if it went to her plan. Please don't hop. Kuni thought as Kōi registered Suika threw a kunai at the center tile, depending on her strength, it may shatter the tile with Jack on it to fall if he didn't dash to safety.

If Jack fell, Kōi would dive after it in hopes to catch the rabbit from whatever horror was waiting for it, using the Long Limb Technique as a bungee cord. Hopefully, she would catch Jack and herself if the drop accommodated enough space to catch herself. Worried about what would happen next. If the dramatic fall did not come to pass, the white-haired girl would move to block her side of the makeshift bridge. Personally, Kōi liked the rather brute strategy, it felt natural to Kōi, to the point it formed a plan to help in this tactic.

Will it come to pass?

Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

[attr="class","dorado2"]the rabbit moved, Roku moved carefully, on edged and aware of his surroundings. The rabbit would hop into an axe room, roku following until he realized the axes which came swinging, he would then wait, walking along the icewall occasionally crouching down to peer through one of the rabbit passages, he saw the little Jack move and Roku followed, still by the opposite wall. The rabbit darted out and Roku launched himself at it, attempting to grab it.  If he didn't grab it it would likely continue to face the kunais from the iwa nin's clone and herself.  With a sight Roku sat up, then weaved a few handseals and transformed into a hare usually local to hi no kuni. He then moved, finding he could squeeze through the passages. He would enter the center room through it, stop at the entrance and look at Jack. Maybe he would come over...?  SPOILER: Click to show NAME: Henge no Jutsu [Transformation Technique] RANK: E CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low [Continuous] CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General] ELEMENT: None HANDSEALS: 3 DESCRIPTION: After performing the necessary hand seals, the user transforms their appearance to become that of another person, animal or even an inanimate object.

Jack was half expecting the genin to be dumb enough to try and catch him on the ice, a less than stellar result waiting on them if so, but they weren't all that stupid which was somewhat promising. The clanging of metal drew his attention to the few holes that had been plugged by kunai... smart, yet without fully committing to such a tactic it would only help so much. The rabbit took note of the paths now left to him as well as the bigger cracks caused from the weapons being thrown with such force, perhaps now he'd have to watch where he hopped but it was still much more dangerous for the humans.

It only took a small side hop to avoid the kunai that was somewhat aimed in his direction, his constitution not stirred in the least. He was a boss level summon after all, and mediocre weaponry was not a threat for those who couldn't attack him directly. A superb sense of hearing alerted Jack to the ever cracking ice beneath him, but it was the sight of another rabbit that caught his attention the most. If he could have mouthed 'what the hell' he would have and in all his training for this room there had been no mention of other rabbits joining in. Besides, it smelled suspiciously like one of the humans.

As the ice began to break apart Jack would zoom towards the bottom right exit, his nimble and dexterous form zipping through the weird black threads that were only guessing where to reach him. If the other 'rabbit' wanted to follow it could but it probably wouldn't have anywhere as smooth a time getting through the tendrils as Jack. Now clear of the room Jack would take an immediate right and head for the a seemingly dead end, that was, until the wall he was next rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise putting the rabbit in the bottom right quadrant of the room.

From there, he would continue forward another forty feet until reaching another hallway of swinging axes. There he'd sit just underneath the pendulum blades, plenty of exits in just about every direction and wondering what plan the humans would try next. They didn't seem to be talking to each other a whole lot and simply winging it in this frozen hell of traps was only going to get them so far...

    There was still too much going on, but it was clear this group had no coordination. Grabbing onto their handaxes each would skate their way to the rotating wall and follow it. Sui simply staying latched to the wall, as it turned as she was not facing the exit she needed. Decommisioning her from the ability to find the rabbit for the moment as she had a moment before she would be facing the correct wall, not wanting to explore the far wall away from the goal, that was a fool's errand and a waste of her energy. She would conserve what she had for the next attempt to the rabbit.

    Kazura on the other hand, would be lead to the side by her rotating wall letting out to another corridor, but she wanted further south, there was no way to tell the rabbit's position but watching it run can an overview for the majority of its possible travel. The bottom corner was its new dominion and that was where they would have to attempt their further capture. As she passed by Roku she would nod to the transformed boy.

    "Come on, its not gonna wait for us here. And I doubt I can catch it by myself. We need to work together on this one. The rooms have set pieces, we just need to learn to use them cohesively." Kazura would say quietly, barely above a whisper. She hoped he would follow and hear, as she beaconed him to.

Plan A didn't work, but to be fair, if it was the CEs, the first three plans were guaranteed to fail. A hypothesis Kōi kept to itself as the creature observed Jack dash away, shocked by the appearance of the second rabbit, and to be honest, the slowly growing creature was shocked as well. Pulling itself together, Kōi rubbed the side of its head. Kuni, what the hell did you do? Why is it so tiring? Don't you... yell at me, you clearly pulled something. Shut the hell up! You drained us pretty damn well. The shouting match between Kuni and Kōi briefly took hold as it sneaked past the malfunctioning hall to the other side of the totaled room. Kōi watched as one of the Suikas exchanged with the bunny. After they finished, Kuni glanced back and forth between the two before reaching to grab the Roku bunny and place him on its shoulder. "I caught Jack! Let us out now!" Kōi would try if Roku would let her, maybe a simple trick might pass them, much doubt it'd work though. Back across the malfunctioning hall, Kōi moved to the same dead-end Jack seemed to go through.

"Anyone know where that little shit went?" Kōi demanded as it placed its hand on the wall. "We got lucky trying to get to the center, was only reasonable given it's toying with us." A few tendrils broke through the kunoichi's back and shirt, flailing in the air. "I saw it come here then he was gone." Kōi punched the ice, sounding like something broke with the girl unfazed. That earlier display hinted it wasn't as human as anyone there. "We need a new plan, it's faster, obviously smarter, and it can run on ice." Kōi stated, pretty much walking everywhere to keep some movement.

[attr="class","dorado2"]He saw Jack. Jack saw him. They stared. Then he moved. Roku was not... A perfect rabbit. So he clumsily moved to follow through the nearest rabbit passage and set after the white rabbit, slipping and sliding in his turns and just about crashing into the tendrils which Jack so easily avoided. Yikes!  He moved again, squirming out of the tendrils still going for Jack, then he would soon join Suikazura, she looked at him, he looked up at her. Perhaps she wasn't stupid, but none of these really seemed to be teamplayers. He wasn't going to call himself one either, though. He was tired. But he wanted to pass...  He was about to nod and make a small squeak to agree, when he was picked up he screamed out of surprise and horror. The Tentacle Girl Kuni was going to eat him!! Paralyzed he was put on her shoulder, and then caught on. It would be cheating. He glared at the side of her head.  Once back on the ground, either put there or by jumping from his seat, he looked at the swinging axes. Looked at Jack. Squeaked, then looked up at the other two, any plans? Perhaps they should stay together and attempt to corner it. He didn't like the idea but the rabbit Jack probably didn't suffer from a bit of stress like most rabbits.  [attr="class","dorado3"] [attr="class","dorado4"] [attr="class","dorado5"]# TAG [attr="class","dorado6"]Their life is worth a hundred of mine...

[Kata]

Teamwork was a wide ranging term and some was better than none, even baby steps had to be applauded. There really wasn't a chance of the faux rabbit catching up to Jack, even less so when he got picked up by the tendril laden girl. She would proclaim to the heavens that Jack had been caught, an obvious ruse but perhaps one that would net the team an early and unexpected victory. After all, with a couple of them looking worse for wear a few extra minutes of rest before the next part of the exams would possibly make the difference between becoming a chunin and more 'missions' involving finding a lost cat or cleaning up the streets.

.....

Alas, there would be no response to the girl's proclamation as the powers at be would not be so easily fooled. It was a shot in the dark but a shot none the less, maybe they were learning... Whatever the case they were not foolhardy enough to try and catch Jack under the axes as that'd be akin to suicide. One was still a rabbit and the other two were just kind of idling about. This was a tricky situation indeed, working to complete an objective with complete strangers and wildly shifting variables but that was required of those who wanted to be promoted to chunin.

Jack would remain where he stood, small beady eyes observing those standing before him and taking note of the missing participant. He was curious as to their next plan of action. Would the fake rabbit stay as is? It had the best chance of getting close to him but the moment it changed back to try and capture him it would be curtains. Perhaps the gears of teamwork were beginning to grind a little harder and they'd figure something out. Granted, there was so much of this room the rabbit had yet to show them and he wasn't quite ready for the fun to end just yet.

[Suikazura]

The lone Sui would groan a bit as she was finally deposited in her position. A line of rabbit holes on either side of her current positioning as she would slide in. She had no intention of staying long, but smashing the rabbit holes had proved effective, so even if she could not hear, or see the rabbit to locate it. She could sabotage its movement from here. Slowly sliding on the ice she woul cleave out parts of the ice near the rabbit holes. Collapsing the tiny spaces in on themselves, she would continue this down the entire hall.

Kazura was a different story though. She was deposited alongside no one accounted by Kuni taking Roku with her. It would be fine, but it was times like this speech was necessary. No point in hiding from the rabbit, "Kuni-chan! Roku-kun! We should regroup now. We've got some information now, I think we just need to talk!" The girl would yell into the ice loudly, vibrantly so. The chamber had a soft echo. Calling out she would be quick though to turn her attention to the rabbit holes again. Crouching she would slide forward breaking into the wall yet again above the hole, careful int her execution of the blade to block off the holes on the inner wall.

Letting out a small growl of frustration, Kōi hit the icy wall once again. The weight of her punch almost perfectly contradicted her size. Hearing for a Suika using the Icy walls to reverberate her echoes, she asked for a plan. "I'll get to you when I find you." Kōi look at the available routes to her. It would have to move fast, the last time felt like a small drain, not an intensive one, but clearly left her a smaller cap. "New plan, you catch it, I chase the tiny runt." Kōi shouted before running down the hall Suika ran through, straight to the dead end of the wall, noting the frequency of the rabbit holes. "Kuni, I hate you, so much." Kōi yelled out as it shoved an arm through the rabbit hole. "Barely enough, can definitely go longer. Thin my cargo." Kōi mumbled in annoyance, tendrils tearing apart and forming a serpent of the Jiongu threads. "Shut down everything!" The genin shouted once more before a long black serpent squeezed through the hole.

Straight out of a horror film, the black serpent made no noise as it bobbed and weaved through the holes, staying as close to the wall as possible for any reprieve while it scanned for the rabbit. Hopefully, the distributed weight and small size granted the hell serpent the same protection as Jack. While it would not know exactly where he was, surely the speed and size allowed more ground to cover as it raged in search of Jack. The serpent would slide in eventually at the bottom corner of the hallway before it turned and 'eyes' would lay on Jack. The serpent allowing its body to catch up before snaking straight at him.

The tale of a snake chasing the rabbit seemed fitting, but this time, that unholy serpent had a backup, chase it till they caught it, hopefully? Enough games. Kōi would think before launching forward as if powered by hate and blood-lust.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

JUTSU(S) USED:
NAME: Jigoku Hebi [Hellish Serpent ]
RANK: C.
CHAKRA USAGE: Low, Very Low to Maintain
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: --
HANDSEALS: --
TRIGGER: --
DESCRIPTION:

This technique allows the user to become also fluid with their movements. Their skin and body structure becomes serpentine and detaches as they become almost a slithering mass of tendrils. This allows them to become flatter and more nimble. They are able to move as an otherworldly serpent-like creature. In this form, the user is able to move vertically along surfaces and swim quickly. As well, the user can separate their hearts from their body to cover more ground. While this technique enhances the user's stealth it does not prevent them from being detected from a keen eye or other types of tracking.

[attr="class","dorado2"]Roku wiggled his tiny hare nose, looking up at the brunette iwa nin as she shouted. He winced and then sighed, moving to be in view instead of moving about behind and off to the side of her. Should he shift back? He eyed the rabbit, then he did it, releasing the jutsu and stood by the iwa-nin. "Lets just chase it, seems like Kuni wants to do that and she doesn't seem to be willing to do anything but that. Lets go..." He sighed and watched as some black snake went for the rabbit. Roku had his eyes on the rabbit and was ready to move when it did, he would move along the walls, activating his wall walking technique to avoid the floor when they moved to the one with holes in it, spears jutting up whenever someone got too close. If he got in range of the rabbit he would jump and attempt to catch it, as long as it wasn't in danger of impaling himself on a spear or get chopped up by swinging axes. If he did follow the rabbit into an axe-room he would do his best to avoid the axes by timing his runs.  [attr="class","dorado3"] [attr="class","dorado4"] [attr="class","dorado5"]# TAG [attr="class","dorado6"]Their life is worth a hundred of mine...

There were certainly some busy bees in this group but idle minds were the devil's workshop so it was better that they were testing out theories and plans rather than sitting by and hoping some favor would fall into their laps. The rotating door would cause them a bit of surprise as it once again split up the group, or at least the ones who were actively chasing after Jack. The sound of the slicey pendulum wouldn't allow the rabbit to hear all of what was being said, though the volume would give some hints here and there. They had decided to begin the chase once more but hopefully with an actual plan this time.

One of the splits would go to town on the rabbit holes some distance away looking to cut off some means of escape should Jack ever make it up that way. A plan for the future, perhaps? Thinking a few moves ahead was never a bad thing, but it was important that everyone was abreast of the situation less the plan be failed to doom. The quiet boy would end his transformation and ready himself for whatever the third teammate was planning, and boy was it a doozy.

Kuni had seen enough of Jack zipping in and out of the rabbit holes eluding capture and, similar to one of the splits, took to plugging up the holes on the bottom of the wall before aiming its sights on Jack. She was a strange one alright and for a moment the powers at be wondered if she remembered that any jutsu used on the rabbit would end in an automatic failure... or perhaps whoever was in control no longer cared...

A slightly more petty Jack may have let himself be captured just to see the hell that would rain upon the group for breaking one of the few rules of this round, though base instincts were not going to let an oft hunted creature simply stand still and hope that this snake looking being would let him go after all was said and done; no, it was more believable that the complete opposite would happen.

The wriggling and writhing mass of tendrils, nimble as they wanted to be, would still find a bit of difficulty on the very slick surface and for that Jack was grateful. He would turn face and bound up twenty feet and where a well timed Roku might have been he would find that applying chakra to the walls would have the opposite effect and cause him to slip right off, whether he was agile enough to catch himself before sliding into the axes was yet to be seen. An immediate left would put Jack into another room of thin ice but he wasn't quite done yet. The hare would bound across the floor sixty feet before stopping in yet another hallway of axes, this one half the size but plenty of exits.

The plan was nearly perfect yet the room had given away another of its secrets in a most crucial moment. Would the team use this new found knowledge to concoct a better plan next time around. This was a smaller room, after all, and four minds were better than 2 and a... snake-thing.


Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku Suikazura Gure Rokurou

[Suikazura]

Sui alone as she had been for a time would not go unheard from the slight ruckus in the enclosed room. Though quiet it would be for her, a echo from the silence on her end. As she would loop the corner she would destroy three more rabbit holes from her push to slide from out this chamber. Taking no heed to slide through the rotating door as it would begin moving. Slamming into the door with axe in hand to cut in again to the ice to support her. Giving her sight of yet another open floor it looked quite close to the one in the center and for that, Suika would come to a thought as she waited for the door to move. She would release the cooking pot and toss it to the ice with quite a hefty amount of force, likely breaking or cracking the thinner ice. Suspicious, needlessly risky. That was the current situation. That was what Sui picked up from where she was. She would wait for the door to once again turn.

Kazura, on another hand, would find her hands full. Lodging her ax into the ice quickly she would lunge forward to grasp Rokurou by his shirt and yank him back to her. Taking no time to re-adjust her footing and skidding a short moment before the rotating wall. The icy slab a constant reminder that time was moving, and that she was not moving nearly fast enough to truly catch up. She would slide herself and Roku along with her ax so that they could reach the wall in time for it to rotate.

"Roku, we need to regroup. I sense that we're getting closer... I think we can trap it now. Just a single push more." Kazura would say quietly. Not quite happy with their situation. She would ponder for a moment before looking to the rotating wall. It would shift again soon... soon was enough, but too slow.

"Kuni! We're coming. Keep it busy!" She would call out loudly. Too loudly. Painfully load, an almost scream from the echo of sound, but not quite as painful as one. Word would definitely reach the girl though. That she was sure.
