    Neo stood with her back to the training grounds, twirling her parasol on her shoulder so that the pink and white fabric would spin, likely almost immediately dizzying but also somewhat mesmerizing anyone that looked directly at it for more than a few seconds. Of course, the dizzying and mesmerizing isn't really going to do much to them, except that it might confuse them a bit from watching it. She's standing with her assistant Ancha on her left side, so she would be on her right whenever Neo turns around to meet her new team of genin. She'd been told that she absolutely had to take on a team if she was ever going to start getting over her trauma from the war, and although she was distrustful of Konohagakure, she thought that perhaps her trust for the village might be returned over time... as long as they didn't engage in any further unnecessary and potentially criminal wars.

    And maybe training the next generation of warriors would help her get there. It would depend on whether or not she could mold them and shape them into warriors that could get the job done with the least amount of bloodshed; she hoped that there would be no more experiences like hers, which left her without even a voice at the end of the war from her traumatic fear of being found out by the enemies.

    Neo would wait for her entire team to show up, with the genin only able to see the back of her head in silhouette through the canopy of the parasol, but the rest of her outfit and her hair would be visible, with the striking dual color of brown and pink in an asymmetrical proportion, her jacket pure white and exposing her midriff and back with a brown compression unitard underneath, her hands covered with brown gloves, and her white slacks slung low over her hips, ending in a pair of brown high-heeled nin-shoes, though the heel is only about three inches tall. Ancha herself is standing firmly in the position of attention, her fingers curled lightly with her thumb and index finger almost pinching the seams of her own brown knee-length shorts, her own feet in a similar pair of brown heeled nin-shoes. Her top consists of a chocolate-colored sleeveless vest over a pressed and clean white button-up, the sleeves firmly and accurately rolled to form above her elbows. The brown rounded bob of her haircut helps to frame and accentuate a rather cute face, her mocha skin matching quite nicely with the darker accentuations of her vest, boots, and shorts while also contrasting in an eye-catching way with her white button-up.

    The two were quite a pair standing in the middle of a wide field like this, with patches of dirt in some places being overtaken by the grass, and three wooden armed dummies on the far left side of anyone that walks into the room, and a false meandering river on the right hand side, though it was only about a foot and a half deep and a meter wide. At the far back end of the training ground extended a deep thicket of forest, stopping abruptly at the far wall about 100m away.

    She was ready to meet her students.

    It had been a while since Nikola's latest adventures and this had taken the form of an auto-didactic training montage wherein he had managed to not only learn all the Aburame clan jutsu that were currently within his scope of comprehension, but also a slew of others as well. Since then, Nikola had once again gotten back to his usual daily routine of assisting his parents as always with their business ventures, accompanying them to various high society events and mingling with the other attendees of said events, and of course, his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research, both of the generic sort and even the ones more specifically of the ninja arts variety, with the latter being focused on the study of ever more efficient means of commanding as well as directing the Aburame insects dwelling inside him as well as the study of how to improve this entomological arsenal for his benefit and for that of his Aburame clan in general

    Hmm...now what is the issue?...Another notice from the village admins?...Ah, I see, I have finally been assigned to a formal team with a sensei, eh? This should be intriguing, to say the least...

    Nikola mused thus silently as he set about readying himself to head out for accomplishing said agenda. After the usual half hour or so of prepping himself by donning his usual work attire, this being specifically comprised of his researcher's outfit, gathering his gear and strapping it on, and confirming his insect reserves, Nikola informed his family's support staff as to his intended location of presence for the day, that being the Grand Konoha Training Facility, and then headed off to said location as that was where it had directed him to meet up with his sensei and team

    It sure did take them a while to assign me to a team, I see...they must be quite short-handed as of late, what with the various missions needing to be done...oh well...

    Nikola mulled over the rather long time he had to wait for his team assignment as he proceeded to head over to the Grand Konoha Training Facility. It did not take him too long to get there since he had already been there and back to his residence a few times now in the recent past and once he arrived, he noticed what seemed to be a woman standing with a parasol in hand and dressed in an unusual fashion, at least for a sensei role, and another woman standing near her at attention as well. However, he merely headed over to them in short order and after bowing briefly as per the traditional expectation to the two of them, he introduced himself briefly with his usual cordial, well-practiced businessman's smile playing on his face and in his naturally baritone and melodious voice

    "Nikola Aburame, hereby reporting for squad duty."

    Then, Nikola fell silent and waited for whatever was going to happen next in the situation, and while waiting, he wondered who would be assigned alongside him to be in this new squad.

    The morning after receiving a notification that he had been assigned to a team, Suzuya kept a calm and steady pace for getting ready. Nothing is out of place or any more out of the norm. The only difference is that he is headed somewhere as per someone's choice aside from his own. He had no issue with such a scenario, but he never saw it as a crazy and unexpected situation. Was he still excited? The answer is yes. He will always be excited about working with other shinobi and being able to work along side them. That usually meant front row seats to some spectacular jutsu. After a quick breakfast as usual, he would put on the same usual outfit. Nothing new, nothing out of place. Light grey shorts and T-shirt, Tan zip-up jacket, black compression leggings underneath the shorts and black sandals.

    Not being in a rush, Suzuya  chooses to that the scenic route through the village's market area. All the different smells, sights and sounds rush into his senses. All of which provoke his excitement and get him even more excited to meet his team. Ideas themselves aren't enough to excite Suzuya to his usual levels. Well, if the ideas aren't his own or if they aren't about ninjutsu that is. After making it through the markets, he finally puts some pep in his step, no longer taking his time getting to the Grand Konoha Training Facility. Upon reaching the massive structure, he would follow the rules he was given and come upon 3 individuals. One being an individual he had met not too long ago who goes by the name of Nikola. The other two though, not as bell-ringing as the first. He had never seen either of them; well at least when he was looking at any other individual and not stuck in his own mind while walking.

    Unknowing of whether the 2 females standing in front of his friend were his teammates or if one of them were the sensei, Suzuya would take the safe route and greet Nikola first with a simple hello. Soon after, he would turn to the other 2 and introduce himself, bowing his head in the process. A half formal action but not too formal just in case they aren't too fond of such things. "Suzuya Nara, pleasure to meet you." He would stand awaiting any new developments that would give a better connotation as to who they were as well as what their status was. Though, he would not hold that half bow for too long before stepping back to stand shoulder to shoulder with Nikola. "How have you been, friend? Hopefully well."

    A smile formed on Kiyoshi's face when he received the notice that he was assigned a team, he was so excited by the news that he did not even sleep the night before. Spending the entire night readying his mobility suit, ensuring that the launchers were loaded, and the smoke bombs and other functions were working properly before beginning to polish the titanium plating that it was made of. It wasn't so much that he expected trouble, after all he was just meeting his sensei and team, but if he was asked to show what he was capable of he wanted to ensure he could give a good performance. This was of course the first fully functioning puppet armor he had ever created, and he wanted to be able to show it off. To the normal eye, at least until he showed its functions it would look as though he was simply wearing heavy duty armor, but it was so much more than that. While it did provide protection, it also provided Kiyoshi with a means to move, without it he would be little more than a paraplegic. Through the armor and his puppet techniques he is able to move and walk like a normal person, it was another reason he almost didn't graduate the academy but through ingenuity and determination he managed to skate by. He proved that his abilities with puppets were enough to offset his general lack of skill with even the most basic of shinobi abilities. now he would strive to ensure that his skills were ever improving and keeping up with the ninja world.

    Inside his puppet armor, Kiyoshi would grab the cloak that finished the ensemble and hid the puppet armor underneath it, ensuring that without extremely close inspection or an extremely well-trained eye it would look to be just normal armor until he had to use it. Taking one last look in the mirror at himself before tying his Hitai-ate around his forehead and heading out the door, moving at a much faster speed than he would ever be able to accomplish on his own due to his legs, the mobility suit would allow him to reach the Grand Konoha Training Facility in no time at all. It really was remarkable the effectiveness of mobility suit, sure it was not as fast as it could be if it had been made like a normal puppet, but the fact that it allowed him to move at fifteen meters per second was more than enough for him. The wind moving across his cheeks so quickly small tears would form in his eyes as he moved, he was definitely going to need to make goggles or something to shield his eyes. That however was a challenge for another day, for now was the time that he was going to meet his new team. Entering into the facility he would find the room that was assigned to his team for the day and find that he seemed to be the last one to show up, however he would not let that bother him in any way. Seeing two females and a male around his age and then an older gentleman, Kiyoshi would move towards them with a bright smile on his face he would lift one hand to wave as he approached. "Hey there," upon reaching the four he would turn to the older gentleman first, assuming he was the sensei and the other three were to be his squad mates. "I am Kiyoshi, reporting for service." he would pause briefly before adding with a nervous chuckle, "I'm sorry I'm new to this, do I call you Sensei?"

    Neo hears first Nikola Aburame introduce himself, and she thinks she can tell from his voice that he must be an older genin. That was odd, but not unheard of, although she herself had become a genin at only 12. And then Suzuya Nara and Kiyoshi introduce themselves, although Neo takes particular note that only Kiyoshi doesn't mention his clan name; that either means he doesn't have one or he doesn't know his clan, the second of which was unlikely with Konoha being the way that it is. It's at this point, while Kiyoshi is speaking to Nikola Aburame and asking if he should call the older genin his Sensei, Neo turns on her right heel, spinning to the right and flourishing her parasol, turning it in an arc that swings from her right shoulder, slips just past the ground by mere inches, then comes right back up to her right shoulder again as she completes the turn to face her new genin, so that the parasol comes around in a near-complete circle to catch everyone's attention before Neo bows gracefully to the three other ninja like royalty, her left arm draped across her flat, smooth stomach while Ancha calls out in a commanding voice.

    "Introducing Neo Uchiha, sometimes known as The Glass Princess!"

    Although the other three ninja might better know her as The Hero of the Second Iwagakure War, Ancha knew that her leader hated that title and would not take kindly to her using it. Ancha continues the introduction.

    "Neo Uchiha will be your primary sensei at this time! Her orders will be relayed through me as an intermediary; she isn't ignoring you, nor does she think she's too superior to speak to you directly. Her ability to speak is nonexistent!"

    Neo at this point finishes her bow, standing up again with the toe of her left high-heeled nin-shoe tapping at the ground while she returns to spinning her parasol once more, her left hand assisting with the spinning motion when her right hand reaches the limit of its grip so that the parasol can continuously spin in an even rotation, although the canopy of the parasol is not facing the three genin any longer. Then she grips the hooked handle of her parasol firmly, instantly stopping all of its momentum and signaling Ancha to continue her next prepared statement, and the brunette once more addresses the three genin.

    "Please, give Neo a brief description of your own capabilities."

    Although Ancha was speaking to each of them as a group, Neo had her eyes trained on the strange young man that was wearing what looked like armor, whom had turned to ask Nikola if the older man was to be his sensei, her right eyebrow raised and the right side of her mouth turned up in a show of a kind of playful curiosity.

    Nikola was waiting patiently for whoever else was supposed to come and become part of the squad he was now assigned to when he caught sight of Suzuya showing up shortly after him. As he then continued to witness the situation unfold, he saw Suzuya greet the woman who was presumably going to be their squad leader and sensei and then he saw him turn to greet him as well while getting into position next to him. So, Nikola returned the greeting with his well-practiced, cordial, and seemingly natural businessman's smile as he was more conscious than ever to not let his true nature as a budding mad scientist show to avoid any potential trouble

    "Indeed I have, friend and I hope that you too, have been well?"

    Nikola inquired of Suzuya and then fell silent while waiting for the last member of the squad to also show up for the meeting. Fortunately, he did not have to wait too long as another young man showed up shortly after Suzuya did, and this one introduced himself as Kiyoshi but as Nikola was quick to notice, there was no surname attached to the young man's given name and that got Nikola thinking about the reasons for it, but then since the young man had asked whether he was the sensei, Nikola hurried to correct him

    "Ah, greeting to you as well. However, I am not the sensei, you see, for that lady over there with the parasol is presumably our sensei. I am merely a fresh genin who has been assigned to this team along with you and Suzuya over there."

    Fortunately, shortly after that, the sensei and more specifically, her assistant finally began to initiate the squad meetup and to Nikola's surprise, his new sensei had an interesting moniker to her as could be noticed from her assistant's introduction

    Glass Princess, eh? Hmm...where have I heard that before? Ah, from the data I had studied in the past about that one war between Iwa and Konoha...well now, this one has turned out to be a most fascinating specimen, indeed..

    Nikola mused thus silently for a few seconds while listening to his new sensei and her assistant who was doing all the talking since as she explained shortly afterward, said sensei was apparently struck with a condition of being mute. Then, since the assistant instructed each of them to give a brief self introduction of themselves and their abilities to her master, aka their sensei, Nikola decided to start off first with his, and to that end, he commanded some of his kikaichu to pour out of the portals located on his fingertips and kept them hovering in a small swarm around him while speaking in his usual calm and measured tone with a neutral expression on his face now

    "Apart from possessing equal proficiency in the usage of basic ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu techniques and all the usual Academy jutsu, I am a member of the Aburame clan. As such, I have been instructed in the usage of and given command over the clan's various insects just like everyone else in my clan. Now then, regarding the subject of our capabilities, like the rest of my clan's members, I specialize in capture and detainment, but depending on the insects deployed, I can also eventually serve in the capacity of evidence and target elimination and tracking should the any future situation demand it, once I acquire and successfully tame those particular insect species, of course."

    With that said, Nikola fell silent and waited for his new sensei's reactions and those of her assistant along with the upcoming introductions of his two teammates, all the while silently trying to study Kiyoshi and glean whatever data he could on him

    This turned out to be more interesting than Suzuya had imagined it to be. A reuniting of him and Nikola after their first meeting at the training grounds, it would definitely be slightly easier to know one person of this squad from a previous interaction. Along with a few unfamiliar faces, but they both seem rather interesting in their own aspects. As for Kiyoshi, he was quite the interesting character as he approached wearing some sort of... Armor? Suit? A contraption of sorts that Suzuya definitely doesn't understand but for sure gives him a bit of interest. He would respond to Nikola as he watches the new arrival's approach.

    "I have also been well, always well when I can bring growth to myself. I am pretty excited for this whole team just off of looks right now." Suzuya says this as he transfers his eyes from Kiyoshi to Neo, someone he doesn't know but does hold a strong aura about herself. Different interests would reveal themselves with the revelation that the team leader is actually mute and has an interpreter or assistant to convey her intentions and plans. This is quite the group of individuals so it should prove very fun in any and every aspect it could produce.

    With Nikola responding to their leader's question and request first, Suzuya would follow suit immediately after he concluded his own description. "As a part of the Nara clan, I have access to shadow manipulation for capture possibilities. Though I do also have a fair grasp on lightning techniques, specifically those that target multiple enemies. That along with a few physical enhancing techniques; one of which I created myself through an accident, sort of. So to condense it all down: Multiple target Targeting and Restraint. Well, I guess I could also add a bit of strategy deduction." Suzuya would give a slight bow of his head before turning his attention to Kiyoshi, interested in hearing what he has got going on.

    Hearing that the man was only a genin in the eyes of the village like he was himself was strange as he didn't know why anyone so old would still be so lowly classed, though he could only assume that the man simply did not put in enough effort for the village to take notice of him. Just after the older man directed his attention towards the woman with a parasol, the woman next to her began talking. Introducing the other as Neo Uchiha, as well as a title that he had never heard of, but considering the only time he left his apartment was to go to the market for supplies for his work it didn't really surprise him any that he did not know anything about the leader of this team. The other woman went on to explain why she was talking rather than their leader, but not who she was herself. Hearing that his jounin leader was mute, Kiyoshi couldn't help but wonder if it was due to some medical condition or if it was something else like her vocal cords had been damaged. Another thought was how this was going to work on missions as he didn't know if the other knew sign language like he did, it could cause problems though he also didn't know the skills of the other woman speaking any more than he knew the one standing next to her. It was highly possible that they had some way to communicate with each other, he knew it wasn't uncommon in practice. Especially with those that spend a lot of time together, as if they knew what the other was thinking. The ideas of an artificial voice box would suddenly spring into his mind causing him to reach into a pouch and grab his pocketbook and pen and begin to scribble within the pocketbook as the other two began their introductions. Despite the fact that it would look as though he was preoccupied by his note taking or whatever it was that he was doing within the pocketbook, Kiyoshi was actually listening intently to the conversation as it progressed making mental notes about what was said as he drew schematics for the random device that had popped into his mind.

    Neither of the other two would give their name, but because of the older man's earlier comment Kiyoshi would know that the younger of the two's name was Suzuya. The older man had started off by talking about how he was proficient in all the things that Kiyoshi himself was not, which though it would not show due to his focus on his pocketbook notes, caused a slight anger within Kiyoshi. It was people like this man that he had to prove he was better than everyday he was in the academy, people like all of them more than likely. To his knowledge he is the first and only genin ever to graduate from the academy without possessing any of the most basic skills that a shinobi had, he made up for his lack of natural talent with artificial talent in his inventions and his puppets unlike anyone in the academy had ever seen which was the only reason he was given this chance in the first place. Though every day of his shinobi career was going to be scrutinized, he had to ensure that he always performed at his best so that they would have no reason to strip him of his rank, but it was something he had to do. He had to prove that you didn't need to have the ability to throw fireballs or walk on water to be a shinobi, sometimes all you needed was to apply yourself, and having an inventive mind didn't hurt either. The fact that both of his teammates as well as Neo seemed to come from the prominent clans within the village made Kiyoshi begin to wonder if he was right for the team, however he would quickly push that thought away. He was going to prove that he deserved to be on this team, even if he wasn't from one of the great shinobi clans.

    When Suzuya stopped talking there was a moment of silence in which Kiyoshi had not realized that it was his turn to explain what he could do, only realizing it after the silence and he wondered why no one was talking. Finally looking up from his pocketbook to see all four of the other faces looking at him, a look of embarrassment would briefly wash over his face before returning to normal and he quickly put his pocketbook away. Kiyoshi would let out a nervous chuckle rubbing the back of his head with one of his hands, "Sorry about that, I get ideas and I have to write them down." He would say softly before clearing his throat, "so as I said before, my name is Kiyoshi. I do not come from a clan with great abilities, and I myself possess no ability to form Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Taijutsu. I am however a master in the art of puppetry, and I am also an inventor. I have designed many different gadgets and items that can provide use in most situations, and my skills with puppets is the only reason they granted me the rank of Genin despite my lack of ability with the skills most shinobi have. This suit I am wearing, is a puppet creation of mine and is the only reason I am able to even walk, however I assure you that I will not hinder this team in any way on this I swear."

    Kiyoshi's voice would be energetic and teeming with excitement, though there would be a slight change from the seemingly carefree nature of his voice to a more serious note towards the end. One of his fingers would move across three of the golden rings on the fingers of the other hand activating the item storage seal that was carved into them and unsealing his three puppets instantly connecting his chakra strings to them and moving them around. Two of the puppets would look rather basic, very little detail to them other than the clothes that they had on, one of the two having two blades attached to each arm rather than hands. The third puppet looked exactly like Kiyoshi, only a few feet shorter and made of wood. All three of them stood no more than three feet tall making them look like little wooden children compared to the group of people standing around them, however each one would move at speed of 100m/s due to Kiyoshi's coordination with his chakra strings, a speed that cause their movements to be a blur even to him at times. "This is Mini-mi, Bumi, and Knives, or as I like to call them the Troublesome Trio. Though they each have their own functions, I have designed them to work well together. Bumi is defense, Knives is close range obviously, and then Mini-mi here covers the range. I also have the ability to manipulate them for multiple purposes depending on the situation." With that Kiyoshi would flick his fingers and the three puppets would be pulled back with Knives and Bumi on either side of him and Mini-mi positioned in front of him almost as if posing for a photo. With that done Kiyoshi would turn his attention back to Neo and the woman standing next to her, wondering if he would see any sign of her being impressed. Was he trying to show off, maybe but he always felt it was better to show than simply tell. It was the fact that without the basic skills most shinobi had, that made him think that he had to show his skills so that his sensei would not kick him off the team.

    Neo Uchiha simply watched each genin as they explained their own capabilities; she can't help but make a face at the bugs being produced by the Aburame ninja, one of a slight bit of disgust, but just as much as she couldn't deny that it was disgusting, she also couldn't deny that the Aburame bugs were somewhat useful in what they were capable of. Next came the Nara clan member, which was fairly well-known for producing strategists, almost as well-known as their abilities with their shadow techniques, which brought them a bit of fame; he seemed quite capable of utilizing lightning techniques, so that could prove somewhat useful. Finally, she turns her attention to Kiyoshi, although he seems to be busy writing something down. Neo folds up her parasol and starts lightly tapping the tip of her umbrella on a nearby stone while she waits for him to put the notepad away. She hears Ancha drawing in breath to give Kiyoshi a shout, but Neo raises a hand towards her own assistant with the index finger raised. "Wait a second" that gesture seemed to say.

    When Kiyoshi does finally notice that everyone is staring at him and waiting, Neo simply gives him a smile and a tilt of her head, looking a bit like a nice but ditzy substitute teacher. Finally, she hears Kiyoshi explain his capabilities, as well as his shortcomings with not being capable of performing ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, though his skills in puppetry and crafting might seem quite useful for all of them. She even lets out a low whistle of surprise when the third genin swings out three smaller puppets, with him still controlling his own suit that allowed him to move in the first place. She'd never heard of a master puppeteer being capable of doing so much at the same time with such precision and speed, even during the Iwagakure war which included several members of the Sunagakure Puppeteer Corps; it was quite impressive, especially for a genin. She does take note of him stating that he has no clan and no ability to perform the more standard ninja capabilities. Neo is starting to get that itching feeling, a feeling of excitement in her head.

    The jounin turns her head towards her assistant, so that her back is turned to her genin, and though no words seem to pass between them, the assistant nods once before drawing in breath to speak again, calling out from her diaphragm to be heard loudly, clearly, and with authority while Neo turns back towards all three genin, her head down and her eyes closed with a demure smile on her face, spinning her parasol more slowly.

    "Neo has still not yet accepted you into her team, but you have intrigued her with your stated capabilities! However, it is better to see than to simply hear!"

    Though Ancha continues to call out to them, Neo turns and walks a few steps, now facing away from where Nikola and Suzuya with her parasol open towards them, blocking their view of her head before she turns her head and opens her eyes fully to look Kiyoshi directly in his eyes, having used the movement during Ancha's pause in order to draw his attention towards her. Should he look her in the eyes, he would instantly find himself trapped in her genjutsu, unable to look away while the three tomoe spin around the deep black chasm of her eyes that seem to tug him in with an insistence that was like the earth pulling his body to stay connected to the ground. Once he was drowning in the utter blackness of her pupils, she assuaged his fears, and instead pulled harshly on his insecurities. Though he was mostly trapped in her Sharingan's genjutsu, he could still hear Ancha's voice.

    "I have two bells here with me! Two of you may pass and continue to train with Neo as your sensei, but one of you will fail!"

    Even in the genjutsu, Kiyoshi can hear the bells clack together and bring out a piercing ring that seems to echo throughout his mind, drawing his desire for them. Neo tugs harsher on his insecurities, telling his mind that he should be the one to pass, that he is the one that has actually put in all the work to get here.

    "Neo will attempt to stop you from getting these bells, but she is not permitted to use her strongest jutsu from this point forwards!"

    Neo implants this one last push into Kiyoshi's mind; to attack Suzuya Nara and attempt to incapacitate him nonlethally as soon as Ancha states that they are to begin the test; after all, he must win, but that doesn't mean his fellow Konoha ninja should lose their life in the process. Then she breaks eye contact, turning back around and folding her parasol once more, her eyes closed in a big bright smile directed at all three of the genin now while placing the hook of her parasol to hang on her forearm, allowing her full range of motion of her hands without having to worry about losing her weapon.

    "None of you are permitted to kill or maim each other, and Neo is not permitted to cause lasting harm to any of you!"

    Ancha has her bells tied to her right side at her hip, letting them all see the bells in plain view, though Neo's eyes are still closed in her happy Cheshire cat grin.

    "YOU MAY BEGIN!"

    Neo performs only one handseal, as she'd been molding wind chakra within herself during the speech; it is simply the Snake handseal, and then she opens her eyes, revealing the three tomoe Sharingan as she expels a compressed bullet of air in Nikola's direction in a sudden, quick blast, causing it to move at B++ speeds, just a bit ahead of him between himself and Ancha. While it might seem that the air bullet would miss, Neo performs three handseals just before the technique reaches the older genin, and its size increases ten-fold in an instant, likely catching Nikola off-guard and blasting him backwards from Ancha should it hit. At the very least, it would likely stop him from advancing towards Ancha and instead push him back. She relies on her Sharingan: Genjutsu to keep control of Kiyoshi and force him to attack Suzuya with his puppets.

    Nikola had been waiting and beholding the situation unfold before him when he noticed Kiyoshi beginning his explanation of his capabilities. Naturally, since Nikola had heard of puppetry being one of the ninja arts, he was quite intrigued by the three puppets that Kiyoshi brought out and thus, watched with great interest while taking mental notes about the matter. However, that soon drew to a close and then as he looked on, their new sensei, Neo, apparently instructed her assistant, Ancha to direct the attention of Nikola, Suzuya, and Kiyoshi to a sort of practical test of their capabilities with the objective being to capture one of the two bells in their possession

    Makes sense, I suppose...what sort of squad leader would not want to ensure the capabilities of their subordinates are up to par for ensuring their survival in the dangerous life of a ninja?...Oh well...

    Nikola mused thus silently as he readied himself to focus his efforts on Neo's assistant, Ancha, since she was the one with the bells in her possession. Then, when the command to start was given, he had begun to advance towards Ancha at D-tier speed to see what would happen next, but then ended up being blasted backwards due to an enhanced and rapidly moving Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet launched towards him by Neo shortly afterward. Consequently, due to the force and speed of said jutsu, he was blasted backward with great force and speed, causing him to quickly suffer a nasty concussion when he hit the ground and be knocked out cold from the impact, thus taking him out of the spar.

    Listening to Ancha's words, Suzuya began to understand the situation turning into a test of sorts especially after the words were spoken of only 2 individuals being able to stay under her care. This pinged interesting as most other teams were comprised of 3 individuals and one leader. Though, it did give a slight air of fallacy, Suzuya was not about to risk being kicked from such an interesting team. Immediately thinking of strategy to solidify himself in the team, his mind races towards the end of Ancha's speech before he settles on one possible scenario that could prove successful. Neo-sensei is of the Uchiha clan, but Ancha's lineage is unknown. As much as it should be assumed to also be Uchiha, a testing of such wouldn't hurt at all. Considering his plan would work on 2 fronts: One being that he would possible guarantee his own bell, the second being he would confirm whether some of Ancha's capabilities.

    Finally, as the speech came to an end, Suzuya would lower his stance holding his right hand to his side, above his right hip pouch and his left arm held forward in a very slight manner. Immediately at the announcement of begin, he shoves his right hand into his pouch. Simultaneously, Neo-sensei immediately launches a fast pace wind attack at Nikola removing him from combat for a short amount of time. Suzuya's eyes would widen but his movements would not slow. Pulling out 3 smoke bombs, he throws one 5m in front of himself, between him and Ancha, one 10m from the first one just at her feet, and the third directly between himself and Neo. "These do nothing to those blessed with doujutsu, let's see how effective they are against the assistant..." Suzuya thinks this to himself as he forms the half tiger seal with his left hand immediately darting forward and entering a dive form, traveling about 10m quickly. He seems to almost float above and across the ground for a second before releasing the seal and another single seal within the next moment, diving directly into the ground. Specifically speaking, he is diving into the shadow that has been produced by the smoke bombs. He is heading directly to Ancha under that cover of the both the smoke and the comfort of the shadows.

    Traveling in the shadows, Suzuya would attempt to resurface about 1.5m behind Ancha, and wasting no time at all, form a single seal: the Rat seal. In a quick snapping motion, a tendril of shadow forms within the meld of their shadows and whip at the bells at high speed, attempting to yank them from her waist in his direction.

    Kiyoshi would look to the two women as the speaker began, the words about her not accepting them as her students yet was mildly confusing to him. So, when Neo moved, his attention was instantly drawn to her, and in turn her eyes when she opened them. The overwhelming thought of him not being good enough began to wash over him as he heard the words, seemingly echoing as he looked into the eyes of his sensei. Only two of them can pass, one would fail. Why shouldn't he be the one that succeeds, these other two had it easy. Their life as a shinobi was guaranteed since their birth, but his was a struggle every day. He deserved one of those bells, he worked too hard and had come too far to back down now. This was what he had been pushing towards, this was why he had fought so hard to graduate from the academy. As Neo turned away from him, Kiyoshi would stop starring at his sensei and look towards Suzuya. A small fire of envy mixed with anger in his eyes, the presumptuous Nara with his shadow tricks and his raiton ability, it was worse than Nikola. It was as if the man was just trying to state how much better than Kiyoshi he was, if anyone was going to get the bell it would be Kiyoshi. The best way to do that was to take out Suzuya, yes that was the only way. Suzuya didn't deserve a bell, he had not worked as hard as Kiyoshi had, he had not fought as hard as Kiyoshi had. He knew he couldn't hurt the other man, but if he could stop Suzuya from getting a bell then he would have a better chance of getting one himself. He could already see Suzuya reaching towards his belt as their would-be sensei's companion explained that they wouldn't be permitted to kill, his eyes briefly moving from Suzuya to the two women as his plan began to formulate.

    As soon as the woman said begin, Kiyoshi's fingers would go to work. With one hand controlling his puppets, small threads would form in his other and shoot out towards Suzuya. Moving at 100m/s towards the Nara closing the small distance between them before he could grab his smoke bombs and wrapping around him, constricting his body and preventing him from doing anything. Neo's hand signs would not have gone unnoticed either, in the same instance that his threads would wrap around Suzuya, his hand controlling his puppets would go to work. Kiyoshi and his puppets were closer to Nikola than his sensei and her companion, and this would be his advantage. Despite his desire to take out Suzuya, he knew that he could use Nikola as a distraction so that he could get a bell for himself and then the two of them could fight over the last bell. Moving at the same speed that his threads would be moving to wrap around Suzuya, Bumi would appear in front of Nikola. Bumi's face mask opening as a wind tunnel effect began in front of it, drawing in the technique that was sent towards Nikola and sealing it away putting the puppet's seal into a cooldown. He wouldn't be able to use that to save anyone again for a while, but with any luck he wouldn't have to. In the same fraction of a second, Knives would move towards Ancha, its blades moving to strike at the string that held the bells. Aiming to cut both bells free, the precision of the cut perfect to prevent it from cutting the clothes that the woman wore so no harm would come to her. Mini-mi wouldn't move however its mouth would open and begins firing 5 Kunai at Neo at C-Rank force and speed, Kiyoshi knew that someone of Jounin level could defend against such. His aim wasn't to do harm but to prevent the woman from being able to stop Knives in its objective. With any luck he would have a bell in a matter of a second, once he had a bell he would release Suzuya, but not before then. He had to get a bell, he had to pass.

    Neo smirks a bit out of the corner of her mouth, seeing in her periphery that while Suzuya might have been reaching towards his pouch just before her associate had given them the go-ahead to begin, that Kiyoshi was already doing his part to throw a wrench into things for her. Despite her momentary pleasure, she also found that her jutsu had been swallowed by one of her own genin's puppets, and she barely catches a blur of movement as more puppets make their moves. With at least some of her plans failing, she opens her parasol and points it towards Kiyoshi, deflecting the kunai from his other puppet and then letting go of the parasol for less than a second, performing a single snake handseal to focus her chakra heavily and then harshly swinging her parasol, catching air in its rounded shape before several blasts of wind snake out, spiraling out from her parasol at great speed towards both puppets as well as Nikola; she wasn't sure if the puppet could do it again, but with such a powerful blast of wind, she doubted the puppet could catch lightning, or in this case the wind, twice.

    Her parasol instantly returns to face towards Kiyoshi again. This kid was a real piece of work, and with three puppets maybe being too much for her to handle right away, she decides to put a stop to it. She releases only a single handseal, once more catching the hooked handle of her parasol in her elbow to keep it from flying away as she enacts another of her genjutsu. She'd made a point of not using her strongest techniques, and though this one was quite effective at what it did, it shouldn't be too difficult for the genin she'd just met to be able to figure out how to counteract genjutsu. Right away, snowy feathers seem to drift from the sky towards the ground all around them, floating down nice and slow. While it was unlikely that the genin would know right away that it was a genjutsu, as she'd only shown her ability with Fuuton techniques, she didn't think it likely that they would immediately suspect a genjutsu technique.

    In any case, she jumps back and away from the three genin and now puts herself directly in front of Ancha, who up to this point had been entirely still, with Neo facing all three of her students and smirking knowingly before swinging her parasol once more to throw a wide swath of gusting winds towards the entire group, Kiyoshi and his puppets and even Suzuya and Nikola to try and shove them further away from the pair of them and the bells, all while those white feathers gradually float down around them, perhaps catching their eyes; Neo had cast quite a wide net after all, though she had to use a quick handseal and a shove to Ancha's shoulder, both using Kai to get her out of the genjutsu and letting her know that now she would be allowed to participate if any of the genin approached her again, or got near enough to take one of the two bills on her belt loop. Ancha draws a kunai from Neo's own hip pouch, arming herself instantly and holding it in an ice-pick grip, ready to catch anyone approaching, or so Neo hoped; those puppets had moved fast.

    Nikola could see that he was already on the verge of getting knocked out cold by the enhanced wind style jutsu deployed against him by his new squad leader, Neo. However, at present, he was also aware that he sorely lacked the proper means to defend against it, so he resigned himself to being taken out of the current test. However, that was when Nikola saw the unexpected occur, and this was the decision by Kiyoshi to deploy one of his three puppets to defend him against the wind style jutsu by sucking it inside via some sort vacuum effect. Regardless, Nikola ended up being saved, a fact which he certainly did not have anything to complain about, of course.

    Hmm...so this sensei of mine definitely possesses at least one elemental affinity, that being the Wind Release...this is certainly a tricky opponent for the level I am at currently...still this has not been a total loss as I can file this data away for later reference...

    Nikola thought silently as he studied both Neo and her assistant, Ancha, closer still in his attempt to try to predict what they were going to do next. That said, he did not have long to wait, for soon after Kiyoshi had saved him from Neo's attack, Nikola saw her immediately slide into yet another combo attack sequence without missing a beat, apparently. This next one was another wind style attack which was again performed with precast enhancement and Nikola braced himself for impact and for the inevitable knockout by this wind style attack as best he could while also shutting his eyes tightly to keep them from getting damaged by the powerful wind bursts aimed at him. So, he had unwittingly protected himself from seeing the visual Genjutsu attack that came afterwards, but that did not matter since he got blasted backward yet again and thus, fell to the ground hard yet again as he did not have any durable enough defense that was also fast enough to respond to the sensei's enhanced wind style jutsu and Kiyoshi's puppet smashing into him as well, causing him to be knocked out for real this time, presuming nothing else would be happening to interfere with that.

    Standing entrapped by Kiyoshi's binding technique, Suzuya struggles to find a way out of this predicament. With no weapons on him readily available, nor the ability to form hand seals, he has no way of escaping. That is, unless someone else happens to attack Kiyoshi at any point in time. Lots of things flow through Suzuya's head at this moment. This short moment definitely didn't last too long as with Kiyoshi's quick actions, Neo-sensei is somewhat pressured into releasing a wide-scale attack. Producing large gusts of wind from swinging her parasol, she blew the 3 genin and the puppets back, away from herself and her assistant.

    As these winds burst forth, the first thing to happen is Kiyoshi's technique being destroyed. Freed from the binding, Suzuya attempts to bring his hands together to form a seal, but such didn't happen at all as the wind continued to batter him and blow him away. The strings provided a bit of cushion but not enough to prevent any damage. He tumbles back 15m before coming to a stop. Looking up towards Neo and Ancha, his eyes are blurry and unfocused causing him to blink a couple times to regain his mental composure. He pushes on the ground as he tries to get up but his body aches from the technique, which leaves him sore all over. Though, some of it can be credited to tumbling on the ground itself. As his eyes begin to focus a bit and he collects his thoughts, Suzuya begins to notice some feathers falling from above. This was strange being that they were inside a training facility. Thinking about this stuff, his head began for hurt a bit causing him to question if the feathers were possibly just a hallucination caused by a possible concussion. This idea was ruled out as he noticed that his vision did indeed regain focus fairly easy, something that doesn't happen with concussions. There must be some sort of trick happening within the area. At least that is what he thinks before the outside of his vision begins to go slightly black as he lays on the ground still attempting to at least get to a knee to no success yet.

    His plan was working, or at the very least, it was appearing to be working. Suzuya was restrained by his constricting thread, Bumi had been able to absorb the attack from Neo, protecting Nikola. Mini-mi was able to distract Neo forcing her to defend with her parasol, which gave Knives the opportunity it needed to slice the small cords that held the bells to Ancha's belt. Kiyoshi was surprised that the woman didn't react, though it was possible that she had not even seen Knives move next to her. His plan to grab the bells as they fell to the ground however would not go as he planned. Seeing Neo perform a hand seal just before she swung her parasol towards Nikola, Kiyoshi would pull his puppets back to him to protect them from the attack. He had to hope Nikola had a way to defend himself as Bumi would not be able to save him this time. Unfortunately, the seal needed time before he could use it again, however since Neo seemed to aim the attack mostly at Nikola, he was at least able to protect his puppets by pulling them back to him. Kiyoshi debated using another thread technique to grab the bells that had fallen, but it would mean either releasing Suzuya or letting his puppets fall limp. Seeing Neo perform another hand seal however he instantly considered that to be a bad idea, white feathers would seem to fall around them. He wasn't sure what this technique was, but it wasn't doing anything. Seeing Neo go to swing her parasol again this time towards him and Suzuya, he realized that whatever the technique was it was meant to be a distraction. A small twitch of his fingers and his three puppets would form an upside-down triangle in front of him, to activate his Trio Triangle technique to defend himself. Knives standing on the ground with its arms outstretched with Bumi and Mini-mi standing one each of its arms with their arms reaching out and grabbing the others as violet chakra would form a barrier in the space between the puppets. This would be just big enough to block the attack from hitting him, but his other hand would feel a sudden lax as the threads that were binding Suzuya were broken. Seeing Suzuya tumble back as Nikola had done from the attack that had hit him, Kiyoshi was tempted to attempt to constrict him again, but with him now out of the range of his technique it would require Kiyoshi to move which is not something he cared to do just now. His eyes scanning the ground for where the bells had fallen, he could attempt to get one of his puppets to get a bell but even if he could get them to the bell, they wouldn't be able to grab it. He decided it best to stay on the defense as he sees Neo and Ancha do the same, the feathers from Neo's distraction still floating down through the air, but he would not be distracted by it his focus on the two women to see what they were going to do next. He knew he needed one of those bells, but he did not wish to put his puppets in danger either, considering Neo seemed to possess techniques that could likely destroy them if he was not careful.

    Neo sighs with a bit of relief when it seems that her genin aren't immediately returning to the bell test and seem a bit dazed and worn from the techniques she'd already employed. Perhaps she'd overdone it. But then she sees the two bells on the ground and scoffs at Ancha's clumsiness, although she can hardly blame her own assistant, as those puppets were likely a bit too fast for both of them to be able to handle. If it weren't for her ability to cast genjutsu, they likely would have failed to stop just Kiyoshi from being able to get the bells all for himself; as it was, she'd been able to somewhat delay him from being able to collect them right away.

    Neo has seen enough to know that Kiyoshi is their strongest link, forcing the Uchiha woman to use slightly more powerful techniques than she'd really considered necessary to test the genin alone. She doesn't much like it, but she had already somewhat broken her rule against using her most powerful techniques, just to make Kiyoshi somewhat delay the other genin on the team. She returns her full attention back to Kiyoshi and locks eyes with him with her Sharingan active in order to catch him in the genjutsu once more, this time merely forcefully pressing him to sleep, rather a bit earlier than her own Temple of Nirvana would be able to take effect, but he had gotten too close to completing the bell test on his own, which was not really the point of the bell test. Just in case, she also swings around her open parasol and covers the bells with the titanium canopy, keeping them from view and making it nearly impossible for Kiyoshi to try and latch onto them with his chakra threads. He'd have to look at her sometime, and she'd use that moment to lock eyes with him while her Sharingan tomoe are spinning rapidly, drawing him back inside.

    She sighs inaudibly as she does so, then sees Suzuya struggling to get himself up, and she worries she might have gone a bit too far. Only after ensuring that Kiyoshi is fully asleep, from the genjutsu does she move quickly to Suzuya to help him back to his feet, and then doing the same for Nikola. Clearly the test was over, and she wakes Kiyoshi last, should he still be asleep, by breaking him from both genjutsu, the first with Kai, then locking eyes with him to break him free of the control phase of her first genjutsu. Neo seems pensive as she walks back towards Ancha, spinning her parasol slowly and seeming to be quite disappointed, before turning around to face all three of her genin with a grin, snapping her fingers to bring Ancha back to attention.

    "Congratulations! All three of you have passed the bell test! Neo has agreed not only that you three are worthy of the rank of genin, but also that she will be your sensei! Well done!"

    Ancha, despite her usually professional demeanor, actually has a little bit of a smile on her face, until Neo looks back and notices this smile, closing her parasol and giving her a light whap on her calf to make her return to a stony expression devoid of humor.

    Naturally, since he had been knocked out by Neo's second round wind bursts with her parasol, he was insensate to anything that had happened afterward to his two remaining teammates and furthermore, he was unable to secure one of the bells for his passing grade. Therefore, when he regained consciousness at last some time later, he was initially surprised to see the team spar had already ended with Neo overpowering both Suzuya and Kiyoshi finally

    Well, this IS a jonin sensei, after all...it would be expected that she could overpower three genin with little to no effort...oh well...

    Nikola thought silently with his usual neutral and unreadable expression on his face and had body language to match said expression as he made to get up gingerly, but despite his best efforts to suppress it, he still ended up wincing ever so briefly from the pain caused to him by the injuries he had suffered due to his meet-and-greet with the ground. As he was getting up, his ears took in the words of Neo's assistant, Ancha who informed them that all three of them had passed the bell test despite having been easily overpowered by Neo and this surprised him yet again, though he did not show this either in his facial expression or body language either, but simply stood silently where he got up at attention for further instructions from Neo and Ancha as to what to do next, with the only sign of acknowledging having heard Ancha's words from him being a simple and brief nod, and only because his entire head and jaw were throbbing too much from the pain to allow him to vocalize in any way right then

    Finally...this team meetup is over and I have the chance to excuse myself from this and head out to take care of other matters, like my ongoing entomological research...

    Nikola thought silently and after that, he decided to take the chance to speak up since the bell test was now over. With this, he excused himself from the team meetup and after bidding adieu to his sensei duo, Neo and her assistant Ancha, as well as his two new teammates, Kiyoshi and Suzuya, he then headed out of the Grand Konoha Training Facility and made his way back to the Aburame Clan compound, looking forward to getting back to the thing he loved most above all else, his studies and ongoing mad science research.

    Kiyoshi would look directly at Neo, their eyes seeming to lock on one another and then everything went black. Kiyoshi wasn't sure what happened, but the next thing he knew Neo was standing next to him with an arm on his shoulder. His three puppets laid limp on the ground at his feet, so how he had lost focus and his chakra strings were no longer employed. He wasn't sure what was going on but as Neo walked away from him Ancha would speak and a smile would form on Kiyoshi's face, they passed. All of them had passed the test, he wasn't sure how or what they did to prove themselves especially when Neo had originally stated that only two of them would pass, but they all made it.

    After Nikola left, Kiyoshi would look to the other two there before sealing his puppets away within his rings once more, "Thank you, Neo Sensei. You have taught me much, however I am tired and would like to rest, if there is nothing else you need from me today I would like to return home if that is ok." If there were no objections, Kiyoshi would take his leave of the training facility and head home to get some rest and to think about where he had made mistakes during the spar and how he could improve upon it.

    As Suzuya lays on the ground barely conscious, attempting to get up, he decides to just accept his current state and only focus on his arms and hands as he brings them up in front of his face. Looking around and slowly realizing that the feathers just aren't normal. As his eyes scan around looking for any specific reason, his gaze falls upon Neo. An Uchiha. A clan known to use genjutsu more than others. As Suzuya begins to put the puzzle together, Neo speaks up, dropping the genjutsu and calling quits on the initial session.

    With this declaration, Suzuya stops holding his hands together and rolls himself over onto his back. "Well, all I can say is that, this was... interesting. I am assuming genjutsu was the reason for Kiyoshi as well as the feathers?" He says this looking up to Neo from his upside down state. Slowly catching his breath, he finally sits up and staggers to his feet though his whole body was fairly sore.

    "Lucky we stopped there, not sure how much more I could have endured. But it was at least a little fun, makes me wanna figure out ways to be faster at least. Maybe I will do that when I get home. All in all, thanks for this meeting, I can't wait for more scenarios with you guys!"

    Suzuya dusts himself off and leaves behind the other two individuals.
