Eyes bright and a small smile on her face, Fuyuko continued to stroll through the forest. She kept herself hidden from the rest of the new students, hoping her large amounts of chakra wouldn't give her presence away. Suppressing her chakra had always been quite a challenge for her, and even now would she have problems with it. As long as she didn't give herself away in any shape or form, Fuyuko would be able to stalk the unsuspecting Genin with ease. The woman giggled to herself after rephrasing her 'task' in her head, trying to hold back her loud snorts.

[color=DC143C]"Heheh… This exercise turned out to be more interesting than I had previously thought!"[/color]

Without warning, Fuyuko felt a momentary shake under her feet, almost tumbling down to the floor. Only about thirty seconds later, she caught sight of two Genin rushing to another direction, papers clenched in hand. Fuyuko grinned from inside the large tree shadows, concealing herself completely. Looking up, she squinted at the sun, taking a fee quick glances at it. She stroked her chin in deep thought, eyes sealed shut.

[color=DC143C]"Well, according to the position of the sun right now… I'm guessing they have a few minutes left before I weed out the one without their paper. Also, that makes three bombs set off, doesn't it?"[/color]

[b]"Humans cannot freeze time, but time can freeze us, the only way to melt away...with fire. There is a piece missing."[/b] 

Swivelling her head around at the sound  Toko's voice, Asuka breathed a quiet sigh of relief. At least Toko was okay. At least [i]everyone[/i] was okay. Any of them, including Asuka herself, could have been killed easily by Fuyuko's cleverly hidden traps, especially since she went the extra mile to actually set one in a freaking underground cave. Who knows how close her teammates had been to death in just this hour alone? Although Reiji and Asuka had found themselves in a pretty tight situation back then, the other Genin could have experienced much worse whilst Asuka was exploring some cave beneath the forest floor. But, the real problem here was…

[color=f49ac2]"Where's the missing fifth piece then?"[/color]

Asuka was well aware that more than a few minutes had passed since Toko and Seichi had first sprinted into the forest, and Fuyuko had clearly stated they were to find [i]and[/i] put together all of the paper pieces she had hidden throughout the forest. Was this one just so well hidden that the five of them had missed it at some point? Had some crazy animal gotten its hands on it before the Genin could even notice? The possibilities were endless, and it was this endless line that concerned Asuka, and most likely her other teammates, the most. It was either all of them went scouting the entire area once again or just sacrifice Toko since he didn't even have a piece in the first place. Even though Asuka was extremely against the second idea, it seemed like the least risky option. There were still many traps waiting to be triggered out in the forest, and knowing they were now in a huge rush for time, the risks would probably start to pile on continuously until they were the size of the mountains in the Land of Iron. 

[color=DC143C]"Humans cannot freeze time, but time can freeze us… The only way to melt away ice is by lighting it up with fire."[/color]

From the thick black shadows, Fuyuko dropped from the branches, softly landing on her two feet. Her usual creepy smile was still there, bright and unwavering. Reaching into her back pouch, she fished out a strip of paper, waving it in her hands like it was some sort of bait. [color=DC143C]"Looking for something?"[/color]

Asuka froze in her tracks. Why was the piece of paper with Fuyuko all this time? Was this some sort of trap or 'trick' question? Everything that had occurred up until this moment didn't make any sense to Asuka whatsoever, no matter how many times she tried to put all the weirdly shaped pieces together. Complicated was probably the best word to describe the Genin's current situation.

[color=DC143C]"I admit, you guys did well… for Genin, at least. You each have your own special and unique talent, and I'm absolutely positive that the Hokage himself was able to see that."[/color]

Taking a step closer, Fuyuko's smile began to fade off, her eyebrows beginning to scrunch up together. Eyes narrowed, the steel-eyed woman glanced over her squad of Genin, examining them all over again. After a brief moment, Fuyuko lowered her arm, her face now set in stone and serious.

[color=DC143C]"However, now that our little test is coming to an end, I'm going to be tweaking the rules a little. Since Toko doesn't seem to have a piece of paper, he'll be stepping out of this final bit. The rest of you, however… I'm going to be leaving this decision in your own hands."[/color]

Fuyuko stretched her arm towards the teens, paper still in hand. Her smile was completely gone now; she was sure everyone else could tell that she was pretty damn serious right now.

[color=DC143C]"Now, I'm fully aware of my own strengths and abilities… and, as of now, I'm stronger. Way stronger than all of you combined. Yes, you may have a chance of surpassing me in the future, but in the current state you little runts are in now, I highly doubt you'll be able to beat this woman right here."[/color]

Reaching for a kunai, Fuyuko hurtled it towards the Genins' feet. It plunged straight into the ground, only a few centimeters away from a painful strike to the foot.

[color=DC143C]"The change in rules are relatively simple. There are two choices you can go for: either you attempt to fight me for the last minute and a half for the last piece of paper and for the sake of Toko here, or you stay put and let Toko be sent back to the Academy. Also, if you decide to fight me and fail to retrieve the fifth piece by the time limit, [i]all[/i] of your are sent back to the Academy. And I mean it this time. Either you stay behind that kunai or you challenge me head on."[/color]

Again, Fuyuko lowered her arm, relaxing her body and lowering her stance slightly. [color=DC143C]"Basically… are you willing to sacrifice your comrade for the sake of the mission, or will you decide to sacrifice your mission for the sake of your comrade?"[/color]
