Modding is so troublesome But I guess I’ll do it.

Jack’s foot casually moved and scratched at his ear while his attention shifted between the genin that were obviously thinking of ways to capture him, like they could manage that. The ever present ringing emanating from him was still filling the room and giving him a full picture of what the group was doing even if they tried to hide for some reason.

Now closing some of his entrances could be troublesome but he doubted they could detain him for long if he tired, not that he would need them beyond convenience sake though. After all he was way faster than any of them probably anyways and could out run them. Pure skill of course and not just arrogance as his brothers from the litter liked to say.

Of course Jack decided that he should show some effort and for just a moment the ringing from his horns stopped only to pick up again but this time in a different and shriller tone. Everybody that could hear that distinctive ringing would suddenly find themselves hit by a wave of dizziness while everything they saw would appear as if it was spinning in their eyes.

It was an obvious genjutsu that those familiar with or able to see or sense those types of things would have noticed right away. It was certainly one of Jacks tricks that he liked to use and one could say the first obstacle for the genin in their effort to catch him.

The rabbit would also begin moving from his spot and head to one of the general entrances into other rooms that was on the right. Carefully stepping in order to not trigger the spike floor before plopping himself at the entrance to the other corridor wanting to see what they would do before booking it in further into the maze.

"Watch how you move your heels."  Zakku repeated to himself.  Just as he started to get a better grip on his situation a ringing filled his ears and the world began to move.  Zakku was instantly nauseous.  He could feel the little food he had in his stomach threatening to come back up.  

'Genjtusu.  This thing knows Genjutsu!'  His mind quickly worked out the situation.  He'd never gone up against a creature that knew Genjutsu.  He'd barely gone up against any Shinobi that used it!  The world kept spinning and the genin knew he'd have to break this Jutsu if he wanted to reach the rank of Chuunin.

"Release!"  Zakku held a hand sign and his vision slowly returned to normal and his stomach stopped trying to push his tiny meal up.  Thank Kami.  Now he'd have to held the others.  He saw Yuki using his robe and Kunai to test out the floor as he moved.  That'd make sense.  There would be traps waiting on them.  He followed behind Yuki  mimicking his footsteps.  
 

[UCHIHA ISSEI]

"To be frank it said we can't 'kill it,' and that we could use any chakra against it. It didn't say we couldn't injure it to the point of not killing it."

Issei wasn't going to test this immediately, but if push came to shove he would do whatever he needed to get pass this round in the exams. Nonetheless, when the moment came for him to ask for the Shuriken he wondered if the guy would argue against it, but after giving him a rather blank stare he offered it up him. A nod was given as thanks before he placed one in each pouch. The shuriken would serve a rather good purpose in tying up the rabbit if he had the chance.

His Sharingan would aid his Shuriken throwing abilities by enhancing his reflexes, and thus making it easier for them to get to its target. Once the group got confirmation from Asuka the time for them to make a move was finally about to begin. Issei welcomed the challenge, but was nervous as there was no guarantee that this was going to be a normal maze. Were they going to encounter some more wild traps? Would they encounter another group of Shinobi? So many mysteries.

Just As issei readied himself to head in the direction of the rabbit his ears begin to start ringing. Almost instantly he begin to feel dizzy. His eyes immediately recognized what was going. It was a disappointing feeling because they weren't allowed to use anything chakra related on the rabbit, but unless the maze had some sort of special chakra veil the Genjutsu had to be coming from the animal. "Cheater..."

"Release!"

Issei yelled before checking on the other teammates. He didn't know if the others were capable of breaking out of Genjutu. If they were not he'd take it upon himself to release Nagisa, and then Asuka if needed. Should the two of them not needed to break the Genjutsu he'd face in the direction of Zakku before nodding his head and chasing after the rabbit. "What I'm about to do is slightly risky, but I think it'll help."

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The Uchiha exclaimed forming another clone of himself. The clone would take on half of his Chakra which meant from here on out he was going to need to be careful, and while he wasn't completely low on chakra he could tell he was starting to get closer to his limits. Fortunately there wasn't going to be that much of a need for burning chakra sense it wasn't going to be allowed on the rabbit.

With that in mind the clone would imitate the stance of Issei who was on all fours with two kunai in hand pierced through the ice. The idea would be to use that kunai as a means of pulling himself forward as if he were 'skiing.' The real Issei would go to the right while the clone would make its way to the left of the path. The idea was to move at a pace where he'd be able to stop and go as he needed to.

SA ACTIVE:

• E.P.T. | SOLE REFLEXES | HANSHA 反射 - Fighting up close in combat with Issei will prove difficult to opponents seeing as his ability to see others movements almost before they even fully develop puts them at a disadvantage. This ability isn't however, made to be an excuse for god modding, instead, it is used as a measure to separate himself from those who have not devoted a prioritized amount of time into that area of training.
  
• SHARINGAN | 1 TOMOE KG - Through birthright and blood Issei has access to the Uchihas legendary power, the Sharingan. With it, Issei can do a number of things starting with his enhanced perception of movement. While its abilities are not on par with the second and third tomoe eyes its visual prowess is still strong enough to just barely slow the movements of others, and when used in conjunction with his reflex ability it makes it harder for others to get to him, hit him, or even just get closer to him in general without Issei spotting them. The Sharingans most popular skill stems from its ability to see Chakra in physical form. With it Issei can not only distinguish what is being used based on its color, but its visual prowess allows him to see through Genjutsu making it easier for him to Kai out of it. SN: Kai is still limited to what the chart says.
  
• LOW CHAKRA | MINOR | RESERVES - While it hasn’t fully drained him Issei might be noticing the beginning of strain from all the chakra usage in the previous part. Should be careful to not overdo it too much and risk running on fumes if it that happens.

  RANK: C
  CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low- High Depending on the rank of the genjutsu
  CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
  ELEMENT: None
  HANDSEALS: 1
  DESCRIPTION: Kai is a technique invented to counteract the targeting of Genjutsu, working by halting one's chakra flow with a hand seal before drastically increasing the rate of chakra flow within oneself, forcing the opposing chakra out of the body. This can also be used on another person by manually forcing a surge of chakra into their body through direct contact, breaking them of their mesmerized state. One's skill to break an illusion depends on their skill and understanding of Genjutsu, as some may prove too powerful to escape by conventional means.
  
  
• NAME: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]
  RANK: B
  CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
  CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
  ELEMENT: None
  HANDSEALS: 1
  DESCRIPTION: Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, as well as their kekkei genkai. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained along with it's remaining chakra are passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

[Asuka Waruichi]

As Asuka eagerly readied herself for the beginning phase of the exams she watched as everyone took their places and positions she watched Zakku as he made his way onto the ice in order to make sure that he was doing what he was told to avoid slippage. She also looked over at everyone to make sure that they were okay when suddenly she started to feel a bit woozy as if she was about to stumble. "Hang on a second...I’ve got good balance. Calm yourself Asuka.” the girl would shut her eyes and try to set her foot down but again would feel the dizziness over take her.

"Is it genjutsu?” she’d think to herself it has to be. Asuka would then form a seal And was ready to whisper to herself "Rele--” but then she would feel normalcy return and would begin to feel her body’s naturally equilibrium be restored.” she’d say as she broke herself out of the genjutsu. By the sounds of things Zakku and Issei seemed to discover that it was a genjutsu first.

They must’ve been quite sharp. if anything would’ve probably tried to rely on her wits a bit more before actually committing to taking the action, she was tired and needed to conserve her chakra after all. "Hey, guys maybe we shouldn’t scream out what it is we’re doing, this rabbit is pretty smart and if he hears us he might think we’re on to it and use that as a means to figure out what we’re doing. I might be giving it a bit too much credit, but we can’t be too careful.” she’d say as watched Issei make the clone and head deep into the maze. Asuka would follow closely behind, the real Issei she contemplated using the shadow clone jutsu herself but opted not too. "I'm right behind you Issei-san." she'd look back at Nagisa before heading along. "Nagisa-kun, any luck with the traps?” she’d ask her friend as he seemed to be laying out a plan.

It appeared he was taking point, even with his rudimentary tactics and lack of talking, the others filed into somewhat of an order behind him, minus the Leaf's shadow clone. Mostly ignoring their presence for the moment, he walked along with the rope, regathering it as he moved and freezing over rabbit holes as he passed. Once he reached the kunai tied to the end, he pulled them free of the ice and tossed them forward again.[break][break]

They stuck into the opposite wall, still not setting off any traps. He continued following it and moved to yank the knives out. But they didn't pull out immediately, instead, the wall itself moved with the motion. Nagisa flinched, releasing the kunai immediately going on the defensive. But no trap sprung, just a moving wall. Huh.[break][break]

Nagisa moved back up to the wall and pushed against the wall as he yanked out his kunai. The wall shifted forward opening up into another section of the maze. Double huh.[break][break]

Ignoring the second area, Nagisa turned left and tossed his kunai down the hallway to see what would happen. He finally broke his silence, letting out a yelp, when numerous spears shot out of the floor the second his kunai hit the floor. The young Yuki immediately regained his composure and let out an exhale. Guess the place not being booby-trapped was too much to hope for.[break][break]

He turned back to the others. "I can freeze over the spears, but I don't know if it'll hold. Wall Waking is also an option, but doing that on ice is difficult." He gestured back towards the moving wall. "Or we could go through there and hope there's a better path. Or we could go both ways."[break][break]

His chakra is so in tune with the nature of Hyōton that it is chilling in of itself as if imbued with the ability to freeze anything.

Modding is so troublesome But I guess I’ll do it.

While he had some of the genin in his sight Jack would still tilt his head slightly and allow his horns to once more emit sounds. Those keen enough of the group or that were just being attentive would notice that the sounds were different than the one that had put them in a genjutsu and probably had some other function.

Keenly aware of where everyone was once more with his sensing the rabbit would look towards those that were viable before hopping thought the exit and to the right towards what appeared to be a dead end but was in fact a rotating wall that could be used. For now, he was content to sit and wait for something more substantial to happen that would require effort on his part.

Of course he couldn’t just let the genin be and as such Jack decided to be annoying by switching the vibration of his horns once more to one that would put anyone that hears them under a genjutsu. From what he had seem they had mostly gotten around it at least first time but he could do this all day and would in fact continue to do so. He was under no pressure to let up with this annoyance tactic of constant genjutsu threat after all he had the window to not constantly be relaying on his horns for sensing.

There's a reckonin' a-comin'

UCHIHA ISSEI Asuka Waruichi Yuki Nagisa 

Zakku saw the shadow clone created by Issei.  It was risky but this situation needed risks.  He'd seen the technique before and knew it would take a toll.  After what they'd gone through Zakku could only guess how much chakra the Leaf Shinobi had left.  

Zakku followed Nagisa as Asuka reminded them that the Animal could be listening and understanding them if they screamed out there plans.  Well he was good at figuring things out in his head.  So he'd just have to figure something out and then relay it to them.  Just as he got ready to speak Nagisa let out a yelp making Sand Shinobi jump.  The spears were a frightening shock and his eyes betrayed his face with how wide they'd become.  

Then the dizziness returned.  "Dammit!  Again!?!  Release!"  Zakku was getting irritated with the animals constant Genjutsu.  "Wait.  Everyone shut up."  He could hear something.  He'd heard it just before he'd gotten dizzy but then it was followed by a different noise.  What does that do?  He was going to have to test something.

"Nagisa you and Asuka take the spear way.  Me and Issei will take the moving wall.  Let's see if we can't push him towards Isseis clone."  Zakku nodded to Issei before moving towards the spinning wall.  He'd wait for him to get closer before pushing it and leading them into the next area moving quickly to catch up to the animal and find out about the noises he was hearing.

[UCHIHA ISSEI]

Asuka started off by making a good point. Issei wanted to slap himself in the face, but he knew the situation wasn't something he needed to beat himself over. It was an easy fix, and a simple mistake of not being more aware of the kind of situation they were in. The Uchiha would make sure from here on out to be more calculated about the kind of slip ups that could compromise their position.

Although, the sound of creating a clone would always be pretty obvious, but the point was understood. After everything was settled the group pretty much begin to follow behind the strengths of Nagisa who apparently had an advantage of some kind in this terrain. He hoped that despite whatever plans the proctors had for them that Nagisa could cheat their way out of this. Nagisas movements were well thought out and did well to try to reveal the potential chaos this place hid.

Issei kept his eyes open for anything else that could probably happen to them while Nagisa did his thing. The first thing that was revealed to the group that the walls in front of them were capable of rotating. This made the maze more complicated as there was no telling how many of the walls did that, and for someone like himself using a rather unusual method to move he'd have to readjust his moving pace a second time.

While there was nothing on the other end of the door it seemed based on Zakkus own movements that it wouldn't absolve all the other doors from not having traps. On the other end of the wall Issei watched carefully as Nagisa tested another route for any surprises. Unfortunately there was something waiting for them as spikes suddenly shot from the ground. If someone like himself had made the reckless move of sliding in front he might have encountered a number of injuries.

His eyes would do well to help him going forward now that he got to see with his own eyes how fast they shot out the ground, and their attack pattern which he was certain would be the same for anymore traps like it.

"To be honest I doubt these spears have any degree of significance to them. Your ice should be able to hold them well... If their was anything special about these spears my eyes might have picked them up...."

The Uchiha spoke while pointing to his optics. His Sharingan gave him the capabilities of seeing chakra and improved awareness, and just by looking at the spears he could tell they were probably nothing more than your average spear. Just as he finished his statement Zakku cut anyone off from talking. Again his body begin to feel dizzy. The rabbit was using some sort of Genjutsu again to which he'd Kai out of just as he did the last one.

"Sigh.. Genjutsu again.. This is so lame.."

An annoyed Issei spoke just before Zakku suggested that himself travel with him while Asuka traveled with Nagisa. Initially he felt differently about the plan, but given the twos familiarity with one another it made a lot of since for them to do so. He and Zakku would just have to be a lot more careful going forward until they met back up with the others at some point.

The real Issei slowly followed in behind Zakku still sliding on the ice using his 2 kunai like a skier. With Issei having to slide low to the ground he'd notice that there was an odd path that went through the wall. If his calculations were correct the passage looked to be about the size of the rabbit they were chasing. "Hey, look at this." Issei spoke trying to get the attention of Zakku.

"Hmm..."

While looking at the wall the passage Issei got the idea of climbing up the wall. Depending on the height of the wall he'd use his two kunai as climbing pickaxes to pull himself up. Once he got to the top he'd sit up top the wall using the 2 Kunai to hold him in place. With himself sitting atop the wall he'd be able to see Asuka and Nagisa on the other side as well as slide 'slowly' to the edge of the wall still using his kunai to balance and move himself like a skier before stopping at the end. Should the rabbit still be in the corner of the wall he'd spot it.

"Hey! its right here around the corner from where you guys are."

The Clone Issei was still on the other side slowly sliding through the floor. Having not checked the area like Nagisa chose to make a right then left thus, never discovering the moving wall. However, upon turning the corner the clone would slide on the track of the spear trap effectively destroying it and sending its data back to Issei. With it Issei would be able to tell that its mapping was much like the side they were on and would be sure to note that to the group once they got up to speed on the rabbit.

As Asuka headed onward Zakku gave the order for Asuka to head with Nagisa as he disarmed the traps. Asuka watched as her teammate seemed to figure the traps out and tried to keep a look out for the rabbit however before all of this she’d hear the sounds of ringing once again and realize that her footing began to get wobbly. "N-no way…genjutsu again? Nagisa-kun be careful, I don’t have a lot of chakra...but...” "Asuka would craft a handseal and use Kai to break herself and Nagisa out of the this genjutsu.

After breaking out she’d move closer only to notice the spike for breaking up and Issei remarking that they’re’s nothing special about them. "I’m not sure how your eyes do that Issei, but I’m glad to have you on our side.” she’d think to herself as she looked over at the young man.

Quickly and she continued ahead with Nagisa. She’d she the walls in front of her and would push on it only for her to wind up on the other side. "A rotating wall…” she’d then notice the floor and look around seeing another wall similar to the one she was behind. She’d then turn through the rotating wall again. "Nagisa-kun this way.” she’d say in a hush gesturing for him to take her hand. If he chose too she’d push the rotating wall and head along the other side but not before speaking to the others. "I think it went this way, Me and Nagisa will try and lead it towards me. If I’m lucky we can grab hold of it.” But surely it wasn’t going to be that easy was it? Nothing ever is.

Nagisa began reeling in his rope as the others began discussing paths to take when he heard the rattle of antlers and another wave of nausea enveloped the genin and he began seeing double.[break][break]

Another casting of the genjutsu. What a rude bunny.[break][break]

He tucked the rope under his arm, about to cast Kai on himself when Asuka beat him to the punch. He shook the lingering dizziness from his mind and turned icy blues on the girl. "Don't waste your chakra on me if you're running low." He paused, catching his bottom lip in his teeth. "But, thank you."[break][break]

He finished reeling in his rope listening to the Leaf's plan. It sucked, because his own safety relied on the strength of his ice being strong enough to hold the spears at bay and the young Yuki wasn't exactly confident in that aspect. But it was a plan. Once the routes were decided on, Nagisa moved away from Asuka and the foreigners and formed a hand seal and placed his hand against the ground, using the frozen moisture in the air to aid his jutsu and covered the hallway floor ahead in a coating of ice.[break][break]

He thought the shell should be thick enough to stop the spears from shoving through, but there was always the chance they weren't. So he tossed out his safety line again to see. If the ice held, Nagisa would follow the rope along until he came up to the first turn. He would toss it again and treated to the sight of more spears.[break][break]

Did the rabbit have to deal with this shit? Nagisa doubted it. The bunny would probably be shishkabobbed by now if it had to. Unfair.[break][break]

He would coat the floor with ice again, rubbing his neck as he began to feel the start of a headache coming on. A sign that he was starting to tire. There was a large open area to his left side, but he ignored it in favor of moving forward. He had been around ice long enough that he could tell that the stuff was dangerously thin. Who knew what horrors lurked beneath. He would move along the path, hearing the steps of the others through the rabbit holes in the walls, until he came up to the next intersection before coming to the next intersection.[break][break]

He was about to throw his rope again to test the path when he caught sight of the wascaly wabbit. There was no sign of the others, so he didn't know if he should make a move. But he could make this thin end quicker. If Jack hadn't noticed the young Yuki, Nagisa would slam his palm to the ground and attempt to send a path of ice to freeze the air around the rabbit and trap him before he could hop away.[break][break]

• ❆ Hyōton: Juhaku [Ice Release: White Tree]

[break]

SAs Used:

• Weathered (Minor) SA: May have not suffered an injury but certainly pushed his body and will be feeling the effects of that. Should be able to operate as normal but exhaustion could catch up quicker and make him hits his limits earlier than usual.
• Ice Prince Nagisa [Kekkei Genkai]: Nagisa is a genius with Ice Release. Though he is not yet aware of the extent of his own talents, his ability to comprehend and learn Ice Techniques may perhaps be the best that has appeared for quite some time. His use of Ice in his techniques would be more aptly described as a sort of command over the element rather than the simple use of it. Is almost as if it is an element which he can someday come to rule and use as freely as his own body. His chakra is so in tune with the nature of Hyōton that it is chilling in of itself as if imbued with the ability to freeze anything. There is no question that his chakra is more potent and stronger than even some of the greatest Hyōton users.
• Adept Chakra Control: As a medical ninjutsu practitioner Nagisa has excellent chakra control despite his young age. Unlike most Ninjutsu users a medical ninja must be able to control their chakra perfectly in order to heal another person's injuries without doing harm to the patient. This control also allows him to use the perfect amount of chakra when molding his ninjutsu techniques so he doesn't use too much and wear himself out too quickly.

[LazyNeko]

Modding is so troublesome But I guess I’ll do it.

Assuming he had done a good enough job of annoying the genin after him Jack was just about to switch back to sensing things with his horns when someone rounded the corner. He had heard the talking as well but the immediate danger was the boy he had locked eyes with. Feeling the temperature drop as ice approached him the rabbit was quick to react.

With a push from his legs he rocketed back and slammed into the rotating wall making it turn and depositing him on the other side. Due to his speed the wall would rotate with some force and if the other genin were close to it still or didn’t react they would be pushed by it to the same place Jack had just been in and where Nagisa was trying to attack with his ice.

If there was no further interference to occupy him in that short bit, Jack would take the opportunity to release a sound that suspiciously sounded like a cackle. Though he wouldn’t be idle regardless and would be moving once more until reaching the place with the thin ice in this area and plopping himself there for a short while.

On the surface it would seem like he was doing the same thing as he had previously if it wasn’t for one big change and detail. That was that as soon as he had passed the rotating wall his horns had started releasing and emitting thick black smoke that was quickly filling up the corridor and then the room as he moved. The quantity of smoke produced was so large that already the room with thin ice was filled with it and some was already spilling into the corridor to help cover it with the help with the smoke already left there.

Jacks Abilities:

SPOILER: Click to show

Resonance of Stumbling
Jacks horns start vibrating and releasing a specific ringing sounds that once heard put the targets under a genjutsu. The genjutsu itself causes those under it to suddenly start feeling incredibly dizzy while also everything their eyes see to appear as if it was spinning.

Smog Life
Jack was the odd one of the litter born with the strange ability to produce black smoke from his horns. At first it was only small wisps that trailed after him without his input but with training he has managed to not only gain control of said ability and stop or produce the smoke at will but has drastically increased the volume of smoke he can release in a short while when the ability is active.

Nimble Feet
Possessing powerful feet and always being somewhat nimble Jack has harnessed those traits and trained until reaching the incredible speed he possess now. With just a slight push he is able to run or launch himself across great distances swiftly with leaving little room for other to react to him or what he is doing.

I See you
Jack can vibrate his horn in a specific way that release soundwaves slightly mixed with chakra that when they hit something return back to him and give him an image of everything around him for five hundred meters. Due to requiring his horn to constantly vibrate to use it he can’t actually do it at the same time as Resonance of Stumbling.

// Zakku //

There's a reckonin' a-comin'
And it burns beyond the grave
Lead inside my belly
'cause my soul has lost its way

UCHIHA ISSEI  Asuka Waruichi  Yuki Nagisa  

Zakku watched Issei climb the wall with a fascinated look.  If his arm wasn't hurting with an intense pain he'd have followed him up there in a heartbeat.  Then Issei pointed out the rabbit was ahead.  Zakku saw this as the opportunity they needed to grab the animal.  

Zakku charged ahead sliding his feet along the ice then heading right for the rotating wall.  Just as it swung open for him and smacked him in the back dropping him in the path of Nagisas attempt to capture the rabbit with his ice.  Zakku spun and kicked the wall sending it flying back into him and depositing him in the room with the rabbit.  Zakku slid to a stop just before the spear floor and released the breath he didn't realize he was holding.  

The Genin let out a painful groan before attempting to stand up on the ice and gaining his balance.  "NO MORE JUTSUS!"  Zakku loudly screamed his voice cracking losing his patience with everything that was happening.  Another wave of dizziness didn't help.  He held onto the wall staring at the smoke spilling out onto the floor.  

"I don't suppose anyone would have a way to push it back?"  The genin asked no one in particular Zakku lifted his good arm up to his chin. He was fast on his feet he even had a jutsu that could make him faster but he could only use it once.  It wasn't a matter of his chakra but he needed to use both of his arms to activate it.  He also needed eyes on the room to spot the critter.

Something clicked inside Zakkus head and his eyes seemed to glow.  "Issei!"  Zakku called out them pointed up the wall signalling him to climb again.  "Need Eyes!"   It was an improvised plan but they weren't going to be allowed any mistakes.  He needed as many hands as he could get especially now.  "I got a plan but we can only get one shot at this depending on what's in there."  Zakku grabbed his bad arm and lifted his hand up.  His left hand trembled but he could move his fingers.

[UCHIHA ISSEI]

Issei hoped that his plan of getting over the wall might have worked, but as he tired making his way up he realized that most of it was clothed off. As a result he's use the Kunai he had in both hands to slide back down to the rest of the group. This round was starting to become a major bummer. There wasn't anything he felt he could do to give his team an edge.

To be honest, without having Nagisa on the team their chances of even trying to catch the rabbit where slim to none. Her knowledge, and mysterious ability to use Ice was pretty much all they had for themselves going forward until they came up with a plan. Issei didn't expect much from Asuka as they were going to need her in the end, but in the mean time he knew that himself and Zakku were going to need to step up, but how?

Once he got down to the ground the wall had already begin to star rotating again. Immediately Zakku took off to which Issei followed Using the two kunai in hand to maneuver himself forward toward the opening wall. Upon getting out it had seemed like Nagisa ran into their rabbit friend and attempted to capture it. Although, he wondered what method she might be using as any chakra based techs were not supposed to make contact with the animal.

He was sure there was more to the story, but seeing as Nagisa did not have the rabbit in hand he was certain that it might have gone thru the wall to the right of them. Following behind Zakku Issei did his best to get to where they believed the rabbit ran to before the wall closed; in a sense cheating a system that probably only intended for them to get through only one wall at a time. Issei made it in just before the wall shut.

The wall also colliding into his own figure, but the Uchiha did well to use the Kunai to stop any forward momentum so that he did not run into any new traps. Upon their arrival Issei could tell that Zakku was getting frustrated. It was understandable as they had just gone on a 4 days survival task and now had to do this. When Zakku asked his initial question Issei had the feeling he wasn't looking for a real answer.

Instead, he focused his attention on the smoke he could spot coming from around both corners. There couldn't be a better spot give away. The smoke also begin leaking from the rabbit holes revealing he could run through a multitude of them which meant they had to hope they could contain him here. After a quick inspection Zakku mentioned having a plan that he was going to need him for to which Issei nodded. Afterward he'd create another shadow clone.

"Whatever you need. Just name it Zakku.. In the meantime I think we could really use your help Nagisa. If you're really as proficient with your Ice as Asuka mentioned you can be the one to help close this out. Might it be possible for you to seal all of the rabbit holes with your Ice?"

Doing so might create an opening where the rabbit would only have two ways out. At least from where he was standing. There was no telling if there was another area he could go to further north, but if they were closing in on a edge or something they could finally put an end to this chase in their next move.

SA ACTIVE:

• E.P.T. | SOLE REFLEXES | HANSHA 反射 - Fighting up close in combat with Issei will prove difficult to opponents seeing as his ability to see others movements almost before they even fully develop puts them at a disadvantage. This ability isn't however, made to be an excuse for god modding, instead, it is used as a measure to separate himself from those who have not devoted a prioritized amount of time into that area of training.
  
• SHARINGAN | 1 TOMOE KG - Through birthright and blood Issei has access to the Uchihas legendary power, the Sharingan. With it, Issei can do a number of things starting with his enhanced perception of movement. While its abilities are not on par with the second and third tomoe eyes its visual prowess is still strong enough to just barely slow the movements of others, and when used in conjunction with his reflex ability it makes it harder for others to get to him, hit him, or even just get closer to him in general without Issei spotting them. The Sharingans most popular skill stems from its ability to see Chakra in physical form. With it Issei can not only distinguish what is being used based on its color, but its visual prowess allows him to see through Genjutsu making it easier for him to Kai out of it. SN: Kai is still limited to what the chart says.
  
• LOW CHAKRA | MINOR | RESERVES - While it hasn’t fully drained him Issei might be noticing the beginning of strain from all the chakra usage in the previous part. Should be careful to not overdo it too much and risk running on fumes if it that happens.

JUTSU

• NAME: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]
  RANK: B
  CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
  CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
  ELEMENT: None
  HANDSEALS: 1
  DESCRIPTION: Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, as well as their kekkei genkai. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained along with it's remaining chakra are passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

[Asuka Waruichi]

As Asuka, Nagisa and Issei stood along the platform Asuka would hear Zakku’s loud screams from on the other side of the room. Internally she wanted to rip his head up since he wouldn’t shut up she had told them earlier that if they were too loud it could startle the rabbit. "That idiot.” she’d say to herself. "I don’t know what village he’s from but I hope they aren’t all like him.” she’d say looking back at Nagisa. But in the midst of her words the floor would begin to move as the platform would turn about, suddenly Zakku would rush over to them and begin speaking a mile a minute to Issei. Is this what people thought of her, she definitely owed Toru an apology for her constant loquaciousness when she got back home.

As Zakku spoke he said "Need eyes.” Asuka hadn’t a clue what that meant, Issei then responded and looked back at Nagisa. "You can do it right Nagisa-kun!” she’d say smiling back to him. She’d then look to Issei and Zakku, "Listen I think the rabbit is nearby, I say we each get in position and seal of the rabbit’s escape the only problem would be…” Asuka would quietly tip toe over and get a quick look at the rabbit she’d then gesture for Nagisa to walk over towards her, while pressing a finger to her lips gesturing him to stay quiet.

"The rabbit is right behind the wall, I need you to freeze the exits.” She’d whisper to him before quietly walking towards the others. "Issei-san, You take the first opening where I was at the end of the wall and have your clone on the other side.” she’d then look to Zakku. "Zakku-san, I need you to guard this hallway and I’ll cover the door.” she’d then look to Nagisa who hopefully by now was freezing the rabbits pathways like she asked. "Nagisa when you’re done, guard the hallway between myself and Issei. I’ll send out my furry friend to get the bunny going. We won’t know which way he’s going to go but if we have all our bases covered we should be good.” She’d then look to Issei.

"Issei-kun, one more thing if he uses anymore tricks Kai us out.” Asuka would then open her backpack’s zipper slightly allowing Shin-yuu to jump free. The happy little pup would burst from the bag and give chase running through the open corridor and skidding on the ice as he went after the rabbit. After he’d been released Asuka would craft a seal and suddenly bandages would form around her body and conceal her from sight. Just don’t ask where the cloth came from.

Nagisa blew out a disappointed exhale of air as the rabbit jumped free of the ice cage and then winced as the loud voice of the Sand shinobi range through the labyrinth. He quickly cut off the flow of chakra into his jutsu so it didn't end up freezing the other bluette into a popsicle. Were all people from Kaze no Kuni this clumsy and loud? It seemed beyond ridiculous. Especially since they were trying to capture something that was speedy fast and had giant ears. Letting out a sigh, the young Yuki moved to join the other three as they followed the path of the rabbit beyond the revolving door.[break][break]

The group was immediately greeted by a cloud of smoke that billowed out from the center of the room. The rabbit could create smoke screens. How nice. He had nothing that could push back against the smoke, but they were lucky that it seemed to mostly be concentrated in the center of the room, only starting to spill out to the edges.[break][break]

Once again, the Leaf and Asuka took charge of the group and gave out orders to trap the lagomorph. Nagisa's role was simple enough. Freeze and guard. Letting his chakra flow again and placing his hand against the icy walls, spiderwebbing his jutsu across it and placing a new layer of ice across the entirety of the wall. It would have cost less chakra for him to find each hole and cover it individually, but this way he could make sure to cover any hole he couldn't reach on foot.[break][break]

He covered the western and southern walls from the spot on the other side of the revolving door, covering it in a tight web od icy tendrils. He even made sure to fuse the door so the rabbit couldn't use it to escape. He used his testing rope to make sure he could navigate the southern hallway, freezing over the spears until he hit the wall at the eastern end. He spent even more chakra putting a layer of ice over that one, stretching north as far as his reach could go without him entering the smoke cloud. Then he went back to the group and repeated the actions going north up the western hall until he was able to but a barrier over the northern wall.

By the time he was done, the temperature within the area had become significantly colder due to excessive use of his chakra and his headache had increased in pain, feeling like someone was pressing a senbon into his right temple. He was breathing hard, but he was fairly confident that the rabbit was now trapped within the smoke-filled square. The only real exit from the blocked off area would be the northern hallway. But that would be easily covered by a guard.[break][break]

Now all they had to do was sic the dog on the rabbit. Nagisa pulled out his flash bomb and tossed it over to Issei as he moved to where Asuka wanted him. If the dog failed in herding the rabbit, blinding him would be the next best thing. And if nothing else, the flash bomb could be used to illuminate the smoke-filled room for a short time. Now it was up to the dog to see what the rabbit would do.[break][break]
