Tyson wouldn't have know these clones were strong had Adrian not attacked first. Pulling out his shuriken he sent it directly at the clone. But he had a shadow shuriken attached. He didn't want to use close combat until he was sure he could handle the clone.

(Because I'm like that Adrian)

The clone Adrian was fighting caught the kunai and when to throw it at him when the explosive tag blew up near him. Being knocked to the side the clone lay there for a moment before getting up. Takashi nodded. "Tactics." The clone watched Adrian, seeing what he'd do then he started a jutsu. "Water Jet." Three circles of water formed in the air and then shot at Adrian. Their ends pointed like knives.

The other clone who was fighting Tyson moved away from the shuriken, but was unaware of the shadow shuriken and was hit directly. He stood frozen for a moment before pulling the shuriken out and dropping it the ground. Takashi continued to watch from above. "Looks like we've found the brains of this team," he said. The clone on the other hand ran up to the smaller kid and aimed a kick at him.

Adrian put his glasses up as his explosive tag took down the clone. "Yes," he yelled excitedly. He gave a hasp as he saw the jutsu. "Don't they ever stay down?" He asked as he took off running in the opposite direction. "Sensei? Are these safe?" He asked. "I mean, those tips look kinda sharp." He turned and threw kunai at the clones. He was starting to run short on material.

Tyson dunked under the kick and aimed a kunai at the clone's leg that was keeping him on the ground. He then tackled the leg to knock him over. Tyson saw Adrian running for his life and hurried over to help him. "Hang on!" He called. He crawled away from the other ninja and went and tackled the other clone. This would take teamwork.

Sad to say life was full of choices, and Kymir had made a bunch of bad choices over the years in his short lifetime. Walking out on his team was by far the worst in his opinion. He'd be restricted from going on a mission, and even greater, he would lose the friendship he'd just formed with Adrian and Tyson. He stopped mid step when he heard Tyson say hang on. He sighed. "Stupid guys just can't stay out of trouble." He turned around and ran down the hillside only to find his team fighting clones. "HEY TAKASHI!" He called. "You think you can just send your clones on my teammates?" He growled. "We're not prey, we're the predators!" He ran down the hill, drawing kunai and throwing them at the ice points going to Adrian.

(Little children, I'm sorry for my absence. Kymir it is good to see you back with the team.)

Takashi watched his clone crumple to the ground as he Tyson hit him with a kunai. "Slick kid." He laughed at Adrian running for his dear life. "You're not going to die." He called back. "Tyson looks like he's coming to save you anyhow." This was fun to watch, these kids were... His thoughts left him as someone called his name? "What? Who's....oh, speak of the devil." He got up. "You joining the party and I have to step in." He stepped between the Tyson and Adrian and Kymir who wa coming towards them.

The clone that Tyson had been facing disappeared after being hit. The one fighting Adrian now had two opponents. He grabbed to two kunai from the pouch and beckoned the boys forward.

(Glad to be back, sir)

Kymir continued down the hill, reaching for two kunai. He threw one at Takashi and then the other. It was risky, but he was going to turn into his wolf form, and go right through the older man. If he was lucky, Takashi would move to the side and let him be. And he could go for the clone that was attacking Adrian. Shifting he landed on the ground and kept moving forward. He was a black wolf with red ears, tail, and paws. On his chest was a permanent red X and a collar that he could never remove. His sharp fangs gleaming as he ran at Takashi. You'd best get out the way or I'll knock you right over!

Tyson hit the clone and was happy to see Kymir coming down the hill. "You came back!" The young death genin looked to Adrian. "Kymir came back to helo us," he called. He punch the clone. "Come help me so we can help Kymir beat Sensei."

Adrian's legs were starting to turn to jello as he ran away from the the jutsu. "Glad to see you two aare having a great reuion but come help me!" He called. Running circles was tiring him out. He needed a change of plan. Turning away he ran towards Takashi. "Hey sensei, you want these back?" He asked.

(I'm going to finish this off so we can start the next lesson)

These boys were getting better. This was the second training session and already he was seeing improvement. Readying himself for Kymir he blocked both kunai. "So he wants to play like that. Two can play that game." Takashi turned to his own wolf form and went underneath Kymir, grabbing him by the throat and flipping the other wolf over. "Sorry kid, but I'm the wolf king." The black wolf growled as he heard Adrian. "Want what back?" He asked. "Oh, those," he said right before he was hit with his own jutsu. Rolling away he turned back into a human. "Training over with." He stood up, using his knee to prop himself up and look to his three students. "All three of you pass, again. Tomorrow meet me here at seven thirty, don't be late."
