- Trial 3| 3-4 Hunted ?!:
3-4. Hunted!?
Combat is difficult. Placed into the ruins of old Kumo, cameras are placed around the area for the crowd as the area is set alight, increasing the temperature to almost boiling. The Genin, in the middle of all this, is tasked with escaping alive as a B rank ninja with B-0 stats and Katon Ninjutsu is tasked with hunting the Genin down and taking them out of combat entirely by any means necessary. The coup-de-graces? Genin in this task due to a 200m radii barrier surrounding the arena, have had their chakra sealed until they exit their finish line. They’ll need stealth, misdirection, skill and finesse to escape intact as the temperature continues to rise.
• Co-operation available: Allies. Ninja doing this mission together are placed in the city together, but only one is required to escape for both to succeed...
Akito Miku had shown that his mastery of ninjutsu had given him a good advantage in the first two trials, however his second trial was a bit tougher having thought about it he felt there were more tactics he could have used. However he did not want to spend all his time thinking through all the possibilities and as soon as he found a possible method he chose it. Though the medical staff took their time to remove little shards of glass here and there, and a little bit of everywhere as he got ready to take on his third and final trial.
The staff brought him all his gear as he wondered why he was not being provided with the academy regulated gear like in the previous two missions. He felt a bit stumped, but then began to worry as with increasing difficulty they would not be giving him access to these if there was not some major drawback he would have to deal with soon. He took his proper gear as he put on his Sakura T-shirt, he finally got to equip his kunai with chain, he had an assortment of weapons available though as well as a few items as he finally put on his new scarf he had gotten recently. He hid some items in the scarf and prepared to head to his next destination.
When he finally arrived to the destination he met with a new proctor as he stood on guard uncertain of what the third trial would be. The proctor simply told him to follow as he went with the proctor towards a centralized location as he began to wonder what he would be doing in this strange place. It was all ruins everywhere as he began to wonder what he would face in such an old location, he began to wonder if this was some kind of defeat the ghost trial as his mind was beginning to wonder slightly. He could not hear much as he noticed quite a few cameras though he figured there were even cameras he could not see since they were probably preparing to view this event quite adamantly. Though the nature of it began to make his heart race faster as he was getting a bit excited, as he knew he was nearly done with the trials.
He began to think back to Airi at home in Konoha who had motivated him to take part in the exams, though it was more indirectly as well as her managing to achieve the title before the exams even came into question. Even his elder brother Shippo had become Special Jounin through some special achievements which have plagued him as he wondered if he did something really good or really bad to attain his position. However Miku understood that it did not matter as much how fast you got your position as much as how well you got it. Whether that method was underhanded or not meant nothing in the bigger scheme of things, however for Miku he had to simply do his best. If he did well he would celebrate, if he failed he might cry, but he would know that his mom, Airi, Shippo and everyone were waiting for him back home in Konoha.
They had gone rather deep into the ruins and then the proctor finally spoke up. The proctor finally stopped and gave out a heavy sigh for some reason as if this was one of the most boring parts of being a proctor. "Oh, sorry, just been working over time with these exams. Anyways, this will be the third and last trial in order to gain entry into the chuunin exam tournament. I heard that several participants had already passed so if you take too long you might not make it in time for the deadline. This trial is simple, you are required to simply leave this arena as fast as possible, its not too far only about two hundred meters or so, the area is marked since we do not find any point to having you needlessly for no reason other then our amusement. You will have to be careful though, you are the prey and will be hunted down by a Special Jounin who has been authorized to use any means necessary to stop you."
As Akito Miku heard this he nodded his head acknowledging the instructions as he began looking for some hiding places for the start.
"You will have to be more resourceful then ever, your chakra will be unusable during the trial and the timer will start just a while after I have left. Just listen for the loud war signal that will mean the start of his hunt and one more thing."
Miku looked at the proctor who seemed to sweat a bit and feel rather sad. "If you want to quit now, no one will blame you. The special jounin may kill you if he deems it as necessary to stop you from escaping. In the end if you do not feel you can make it or are seriously injured please surrender so that he does not end up killing you or worse. You are welcome to always try again in the next exams"
Miku thought about it for a bit and then looked down before answering. "If I run away now, when will I stop running away. I am strong enough, everyone believes in me, so I will never give up as long as they believe"
The proctor vanished and so it came to be that his true trial would begin
