It came as no surprise when Kyoka heard the words that they had passed the first round even despite the momentary pause after the timer had expired. Though Kyoka had to admit, there was an academic interest in what the other methods of passing were. Well regardless of the different possibilities in that test, Kyoka had more important factors to consider, namely the next challenge. Though, Kyoka kept an ear out for any clues provided in the congratulations explanation. Just in case...

[color=8dc73f]"I'm reckon there be more to it than just a pit, cuz."[/color] Kyoka hollered to her cousin as she strode across the bridge to the black room. Judging from the theme so far, this seemed like it was bound to be their last challenge. The nature of the challenge appeared to be a more direct one. Two Hokage clones appeared cutting off their path from the scroll. Obviously, the scroll was the objective while beating the Hokages were unnecessary. However, Kyoka did not expect this portion to be as lax as the previous challenge. In the theme, they had their peace, now came war. Thus it was a fair, and likely correct, assumption that these weren't just some passive images but rather a full physical embodiment meaning Kyoka could skip the experimenting with the peaceful approach. Instead focus can be taken on the more aggressive side.

In a battle of four against two, these clones must have been made to be extremely capable of handling all four. Therefore Kyoka and her team's approach must be coordinated and executed well. However, there was an issue with that. Kyoka had no experience with Yuki or Tashiro, leaving her own teammates in the list of unknowns for this challenge. [color=8dc73f]"Don't suppose y'all two can clue me in to ya strengths, huh? I'ma need all da details. Spare me, nuttin'"[/color] Kyoka inquired to her two unknowns before turning her attention away and to her cousin. She charged and leapt up onto Rumia's back, sliding her legs around the green female's waist and her hands, finding their grip on both her cousin's breasts. Kyoka let a slight thrilled giggle escape her lips as she rested her chin down onto Rumia's shoulder. 

[color=8dc73f]"Cuz! I know ya ready for dis' but I'ma need ya to go on and walk straight towards dat der scroll there and get it. I'ma need a feel for what dez baboons can do. That's why ya just need to ignore em and keep on trucking! And for y'all two..."[/color] Kyoka started turning around. [color=8dc73f]"I suggest y'all take a few long breaths cuz I reckon y'all gonna need my shield. I, uh, tend to get too excited!"[/color] Kyoka offered that vague threat to them, offering no other mention about it. What Yuki and Tashiro would begin to notice eventually is a faint fog rolling over their body and if they were taking long, drawn out breaths, the fog would thicken more and more. It wasn't mentioned but Kyoka's bubble barrier ability was using their exhaled breath to form a vaporous cloud over their entire body, not dense enough to hide the person but enough to notice something was there. This was Kyoka's safeguard measure for her real nasty abilities. Rumia even had one developing but Kyoka did not, being completely immune from not only her own but all types of chemical hazards to her body.

[color=8dc73f]"I suggest y'all two try and get to dat der scroll, too! Cuz and I will go down the middle, y'all two decide to split or team is fine with me on dis here first bout! But, I reckon y'all should stick to the sides. Oh! And der is a fair chance dis here challenge is nuttin' more than a hoax and deez here guys ain't nuttin' but haints, but I ain't so sure! So dat is why cuz and I are going down da center, to test dat!"[/color] Kyoka still wasn't sure the best approach but it was time to start testing the limits of this test. [color=8dc73f]"Alright, cuz... nuttin' aggressive just straight to dat scroll!"[/color]
