[/center][/cell][cell]This was the test? Just grabbing the scroll? They were going to ace this with ease! Between Naruko’s shadow clones and Gorudo’s admittedly kind of weird, but useful, abilities they’d be able to get their hands on that scroll in no time. And that wasn’t even factoring what Nijira could do. Naruko’s smile grew widely on her face as their sensei retreated into the woods to begin the test properly.

“[color=#FF9000]Alright. Let-[/color]” Naruko was about to talk up her teammates, no doubt they were feeling the weight of their sensei’s threats and needed a good confidence boost to get moving. However she saw Nijira quickly dart off into the forest after their teacher which elicited a look of short lived shock, QUICKLY followed by pure irritation “[color=#FF9000]WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? DON’T JUST RUN OFF LIKE THAT![/color]” she screamed out after their Inuzuka teammate. A part of her was worried that their sensei would hurt him...However the other half of her was incredibly irritated at the fact that he had just taken off and now was going to show her up in front of their teacher, a fact that made Naruko’s cheeks swell with petulant anger.

The knuckleheaded ninja braced herself and was ready to jump after Nijira! No way was she going to be upstaged by the likes of him, on their first day as Genin, she was going to show everyone, including him, that she was the best of her class! However Gorudo’s words stopped her in her tracks. As impulsive and hardheaded as she was, she did recognize that Gorudo usually had pretty well laid plans and it would be stupid of her to ignore him...Even if she DID have a good reason...She wasn’t going to let Nijira get the better of her, but for now she chose to focus on her friend.

The plan was a solid one from the sounds of it. “[color=#FF9000]I can keep Sensei off of you while you swap out the scrolls. He won’t be able to get past my Wind Cutter.[/color]” she said with a confident smirk on her face. “[color=#FF9000]We’re gonna need my clones though. I need to keep an eye on Nijira.[/color]” she said that last sentence with a bit of a sour tone in her voice. When Gamaboro was summoned Naruko couldn’t help but smile widely, she loved Gorudo’s little toad companion, he was adorable. Also pretty funny, mostly adorable. 

In imperceptible seconds a Kunai with cataclysmic force shot right past them and immediately wiped the smile clean off of Naruko’s face and replaced it with a look of absolute shock. She didn’t know that a simple kunai could be thrown with so much force and so much power, it actually caused Naruko to quiver...Just for a brief moment before she lifted her hands to her cheeks and began to smack her own face repeatedly. She had come too far to be scared off now! She wasn’t going to let this get to her, she refused to go back to the academy, she refused to die here. It was now or never!

The orange-clad ninja placed her fingers into a cross formation and concentrated as her chakra began to well up inside of her, bursting and bubbling from within. “[color=#FF9000]Shadow clone JUTSU![/color]” she shouted out in a fit of pure bravado. She didn’t have to shout it. She just really wanted to. Three individual clones of Naruko appeared behind her and they all, alongside Gorudo, headed into the forest. Only for the clones to begin breaking formation while they ventured further into the forest. One going left, one going right and the other speeding up ahead of the real Naruko to scout. “[color=#FF9000]I’ve got a plan of my own.[/color]” she said with a wide grin.
