Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You idiot", Rawth mumbled behind the tree."Damn it once again my attempt ruined by my ally........this is getting annoying." Rawth's shadow clone dispersed, dropping the kunai with the explosive tag.Rawth was getting impatient. Rawth realized that their attacks were just too ineffective, well not his but the others were, they just kept getting in the way."Maybe explosives isn't the way to do this", he thought.

Kenji landed after the explosion and released the fog. Shortly after, Kenji took the stance of the gentle palm technique then started to gather chakra in to his palms waiting for the Anbu to attack him instead.

Edegaru could hear Rawth speaking out. He shook his head. He used unorthodox battle tactics but he knew what he was doing. Edegaru also knew the locations of every ninja. After a few minutes, Edegaru emerged out of the ground without a sound behind Marciel, not his clone, and used gentle fist to attempt three strikes to Marciel's back. The smoke in the area covered his attacks and did not let the other ninja know about his technique. He did not use the chakra coating to seal the chakra points in the attacks but instead only the physical damage was intended. The three strikes happened in the rapid succession of half a second each before Edegaru once again entered the ground. This was the Underground Projection Fish Technique that allowed him to move underground without detection and without a way of being tracked.

Sitting in a tree far above the group Akisame watched the students try and earn their ranks as Genin. Last year he'd passed this same test, earning the record for the fastest victory due to his powerful and unorthodox fighting style that he himself had invented. Now, watching the fighting below, arms crossed in front of his chest, legs thrown over the sides of the large branch and back leaning against the tree trunk, Akisame considered their actions. So far, he was convince Marciel would best be his partner of them all, though the others he had yet to make a decision on. How could he, when they were all melee combatants? That was HIS field of expertise.

Rawth was convinced that it was a trap himself, but it wasn't like Edegaru to use such kiddish tactics. Regardless of this he rushed into the smoke which was beginning to clear up he saw Marciel, and Edegaru behind him. "Perfect....". Rawth was not a taijutsu specialist like many believe him to be, he was more of a medical ninja then anything, powerful in a variety of fields, truly a ninja who would one day be both respected, and greatly feared. Rawth saw Edegaru and rushed in, which may had seemed careless but it was really quite well planned . Rawth Grabbed Marciel and dashed backwards keeping a keen eye on Edegaru has he disappeared into the black smoke, which was clearer now, but still enough cover. Soon it would be gone.
Rawth then awaited while he held Marciel on his shoulder. "Waiting for Edegaru."

Rawth was a little impressed. "Alright." Rawth used the transformation jutsu.
"Okay, but one more thing, if you see him attack me, don't jump in just stay back, actually I want you to run when he comes after me. And after that Black hair you know what to do, and Marciel back him up."

"All you've been doing is running like a coward Edegaru, come at us full force, were not kids anymore, were ninja, and I promise you that I will beat you, you low class Hyuuga scum." He smiled.
