But refreshingly she did exactly what he asked of her, and in a creative way! Gorudo was always impressed by Naruko's quick thinking. Somtimes her plans can occasionally miss the mark, but not today, today she was on fire. As it should be! they both had been looking forword to this day for a long time. Gorudo had the perfect opening he needed for his toad tongue to wrap around the scroll, the scroll shot back towards Gorudo as his tongue retracted. The scroll slapped against his face, and it remained against his mouth being held by his tongue to leave his hands free. Gorudo felt a warm sense of satisfaction at how well his plan has worked, but Gorudo then started to notice that his cut left shoulder and his right thigh started to get warmer, the warmth was from more blood escaping his body as two kunai prenetrated his body, his pants and shirt were getting excessively saturated from his blood. And just as quickly as his plan worked. He was captured. [i][color=#A1B41B]'Shit...'[/color][/i] [color=#318CE7]"Escape this yourself. Prove you're worthy. Before I decide you're not and end it."[/color] Takuma sensei issued this challege to Gorudo. Gorudo still had not made up his mind wether to beleive his death threats, so outwordly Gorudo kept his cool. But reguardless of if the threats are genuin or not, Gorudo felt in danger. Nijira was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Komi, and he had a dangerously sharp kunai close to his neck. Seconds felt like minutes as Gorudo's brain started working on a solution to getting out of the grasp of a [b]Jounin[/b]. The test was somewhat possible with all three of them together, but for Gorudo to try and beat a [b]Jounin[/b] in a contest of strength would have been pointless, Gorudo knew he needed to find a way to slip his grasp... Gamaboro! Gamaboro waited patiently in Gorudo's waist pouch. With the zipper open he could see the sky and some of Gorudo's head. The plan was when Gorudo got the scroll he was going to put the scroll in his pocket and then Gamaboro was going to transform into the scroll to form a duplicate. Gamaboro could tell that the plan had gone wrong somehow as he suddenly felt a jolt of motion knocking his sunglasses out of place, Gamaboro quickly repositioned himself and his glasses and carefully peaked out of Gorudo's pocket. [i][b][color=#278C71]'THE KID IS CAPTURED!?!'[/color][/b][/i] Gamaboro screamed in his head as he retreated back into the bag, [i][color=#278C71]'what am I going to do? how am I going to save him!? [b]How am I going to save myself!?[/b] I am dead as a belt if his dad finds out I failed to save his son, I'll be outcast from the mountain for sure! and nobody really likes me to begin with! [b]AND[/b]-'[/color][/i] Gamaboro's thoughts were interrupted by hearing Gorudo [color=#A1B41B]"Gamaboro! Oil bullet!"[/color] A bit of opportunity was made for the little toad within the pocket from Naruko's swift intervention, she clearly wasn't letting her friend down! Gorudo could see sensei's further away arm have to raise away from him as he'd swiftly thrown multiple kunai [b]at[/b] Naruko's shuriken. With two swift throws he'd hurled out four separate weapons that each pinned into the open rings in the middle of the shurikens, slamming them into trees to pin them down and keep the wires from being able to move in. Naruko's enclosing circle at Koji's back had become a pinned open rectangle. Still, the distraction gave Gamaboro the opening to spit out the oil bullet, slamming into Koji's arm and soaking him in slick oil from his shoulder, his arm, and all over his chest and Gorudo too! Gorudo had the perfect opportunity to slip out... [color=#A1B41B]'Yes! right on target!'[/color] Gorudo thought to himself as he felt the freedom of escapeing Koji's grasp. Gorudo felt his right leg give way as the kunai damaged a muscle he would have used to run, but Gorudo quickly knew what he needed to do. Toad leg time, Gorudo formed the Serpent hand seal once more the scroll dropping from his mouth and held by his arms, the toad tongue vanishing in a puff of smoke, and just as Gorudo was going to change his legs to toad legs he felt Takuma sensei grab him, and just as quickly he felt Takuma sensei's kunai cut across his neck. [color=#A1B41B]'What? no! this doesn't make sense?!'[/color] Gorudo thought as he couldn't speak, he was being held by his neck. He couldn't see his neck but from the blood that poured out from Koji's hand Gorudo knew he wouldn't be able to anyway, with his neck cut Gorudo struggled to breath [color=#A1B41B]'No! this cant be right! it is illogical! why bring us out here, why make us do anything! why!'[/color] Gorudo continued to try and rationalize the situation. Gorudo tried to struggle himself free, kicking and pulling at his arm pointlessly [color=#A1B41B]'This can't be it! I'm suppost to be the greatest sage of all time! this cant be [b]IT[/b] it doesnt make sense! it....doesn't...no...'[/color] Gorudo's mind started to get overloaded with trying to find the logic in the situation, looking for any clues or reasoning, the pain of the kunai replaying and replaying every second endlessly, tormenting him, he felt himself dieing, he watched his blood pour out onto himself and on his murderers hands until his conciousness completely blacked out. his last wish as he was cast to the ground was that Naruko save herself, and not blame herself for his death. the tears in his eyes falling across his face and soiling the bloody oiled ground, just as the light completely eclisped and escaped his eyes.
