D-rank
Waiting peacefully on top of a taller building in the hopes of being able to see over Suna's walls a little bit better was Gō. He sat on the edge of the building letting his feet dangle off of the side. Other than the light chatter and occasional clinking that could be heard in the slums below him, the world seemed serene. He heard that at some places in some deserts in the Land of Wind there were sunsets that were yellow and blue. Truly that would be a sight to behold, to see the horizon painted mustard yellow. But seeing as how Gō had only ever heard people mention paintings of such an event, he doubted that just because he really wanted it he'd get to see it in person especially not in a place like this. Beauty is rarely ever conveniently placed. As the evening began to slowly wane into night the clinking sound continued, and slightly moved by his curiosity, he decided to go see wanted the was causing the noise. He found his way over to the edge of the opposite side of the building and noticed a genin with a shiny new Suna headband on making funny motions towards a taller man with a cloak draped over his shoulders. Almost as if he was hypnotized by the genin's movements the man danced in an angular, awkward, unnatural tempo that made an uncomfortable chills creep up Gō's spine. Though he didn't know this, the Genin was practicing with an unmodified puppet that she had made herself, and she was controlling said puppet with a basic academy technique that she was currently working on improving.
As Gō inched closer to the edge of the building he saw that she was kicking bottles in the air as the cloaked man attempted to hit them with a dull-looking wakizashi. The genin would extend her leg towards a large group of bottles nearby, knock one over slightly, and place her foot under it balancing it there. after a quick flick of her wrist the man would run towards he and then jump in the air, and in a way that was choreographed and rhythmic enough that it almost seemed to be a dance, she would throw the bottle up, and he would bat it towards a pile of trash bags that littered the street side. The duo continued the steps for this dance 6 or seven more times before Gō, as he was edging closer to the pair, tapped the edge of the building with his wooden geta. The sound caused the duo to snap their attention to him. The girl's face looked as if someone had betrayed her as her face reddened with embarrassment and golden eyebrows over green piercing eyes furrowed in anger.
He didn't notice any of the expressions or emotions that had revealed themselves on her face though. He felt his stomach twist up as he made eye contact with the simulacrum of a man that had previously hidden itself under a cloak. The puppet gazed back at Gō with a single eye that was much too wide and rested in the very center of its expressionless wooden face. It had a mouth that was hanging open like a nut cracker awaiting a walnut. He slowly attempted to back up as he began to piece together what was happening, and as he did so the puppeteer genin extended both of her arms in the direction of the retreating ronin. The puppet cleared the 50 foot jump to the roof top its as it rapidly open and closed its mouth. After pulling back its right arm the puppet swung at the ronin In a wide arc with its dull 20 inch wakizashi. The puppeteer ran up the side of the building in order to ensure that she would be able to see her opponent so that she could control her puppet properly.
As the puppet pulled back its arm to swing Gō cartwheeled backwards sending to wooden slippers into the chest of the puppet that had made it to almost right in front of him. while this did little in the ways of hurting the puppet it slightly slowed its approach and gave him just enough time to make it out of the range of the puppet. After the flip Gō slid a half of in inch barefoot on the ceiling of the sandy building placing him 5 meters away from both the puppet and the edge. Quickly he pulled at his scarf and wrapped it around his waist as the puppeteer made it to the top of the building wielding a wakizashi that seemed to be a replica of the one her puppet was holding in her right hand. No longer was her face filled with embarrassment or anger, but now it looked as if she was challenging him. Her silent words were communicated and Gō reciprocated her look trying to hide the nausea that welled up inside him when he looked at the puppet.

- Misc stuffs:
- I am assuming that the puppeteer genin is a new graduate, and that she has all E-1 Tier Stats. I'm assuming to control the puppet she is using the academy jutsu "Puppet Technique: Multiple Control" controlling both swords and the puppet individually, using "Supernatural Walking Practice", and is capable of using "Transformation Technique". I am going to be kind to myself and say that she is at 110 chakra currently.
