Underneath the rain of Crimson Petals ch. 2: "NinEx: We'll get it there...eventually"

[Mintaro]

Kokuo looked at the condisending man. "I don't know about you, But i'm not such a wuss that I can't take a hit. Not to mention that I have no intention of letting them hit us. You know why clones get destroyed? Because they contain less then a 10th of the creators real power. So they will expect us to be slow, weak, and to puff out of existance. If you had payed attention in your class you would know that this would give us an even LARGER element of surprise."

[Incendius]

"A kunai lodged in your throat will kill you if your a clone or not" Chirin replied simply and effectively. "Look I don't know, or care, about what you do but I and I believe our companions will be doing this stealthily and quickly"

[Mintaro]

Kokuo began to laugh, so hard in fact he fell on the ground. When he composed himself he stood back up still grinning. "What the hell makes you think anyone here would be hit by a kunai in the throat? Look stealth boy. Just because you spent all your time running and hiding dosn't mean the rest of us did. I've killed enemies that would leave you in a puddle of piddle. I've faught enemies that COULDN'T be killed. Ninja that could reset their bones after you break them. You ever fight a man with his head on backwards? Trust me unless those ninja are sennin I doubt we'll have much of a problum."

OOC: he totally did too.

[Incendius]

"Really youve fought people with their heads on backwards? Duly noted monkey boy, duly noted" Completely ignoring him Chirin turned to the rest of the people "Alright lets get back to developing a plan that doesn't uneedfully risk the health of any of its participents or the deliverance of the scroll."

[Mintaro]

Kokuo laughed again. "Look we know they're there, which means they know we're here. We don't HAVE an element of surprise. They know where we are, and how many we are, but they don't know WHO we are. That IS our element of surprise. We have at least three people here who can tell where they are. If they number up to 15 how many do you think of their number can see us?"

[Raiden]

Tomasu scratched at his head. So many arguments. There was so much unhappiness here, and so little time for him to change it to fun. Plus, the fact that most were from different villages didn't help in the least.

"Remember the fact that we're on a time limit. If we're late, our mission is failed whether we have the scroll or not."

Tomasu took the map and made little drawings on it.

"How's this. A group of us stay on the path. They're expecting us to be coming, so they'll be listening everywhere. We're Chuunin, so we can hope they believe that they're more advanced than us. So if they see us walking down the road, they'll most likely believe that we were simply careless."

Tomasu made some squiggles along the path on the map.

"However, some of us will be sneaking on the sides. We know roughly where they are, so the sneaky people could go ahead and discern the location. Then, when the hidden ninja see the path group, they'll drop their defenses and worry about attacking the path. That's when our stealth ninja attack them while they aren't expecting it. Then we kick their ass while they're falling over themselves in shock, and we move on."

[Incendius]

"A better plan and much more servicable." Chirin complimented slightly in Tomasu's direction with a slight nod of his head. Leaning over the map he traced his hand along it memorizing the routes. Looking up he asked to the surounding Chuunins, excluding Kokou of course "I trust no one has any problems with that in at least its basic form?". Rotating his shoulders slowly Chirin said "If not I shall be taking my leave"

[Aerozord]

The argus eye scanned the terrain. "The path to the right looks best. Lots of cover and abit higher up. Also I don't think they have any unusual abilities, but they have experience. They may be expecting a diversion"

[Mintaro]

Kokuo looked at Tomasu. "So Tomasu, what you're saying is we keep doing what we we're doing? Wow...why did we stop in the first place?" Kokuo just laughed and went back into the tree landing next to Aseta. "Come of flame man lets keep out of the way of all the geinus down there. Don't want to bore them with our half baked plans."

[Raiden]

Tomasu looked at Kokuo with a grin.

"Simple plans are often the best plans."

He closed his eyes and nodded.

"Sage advice."

Tomasu handed the map back to Ka.

"Well, I'm bored."

He began to walk down the path.
