Tenjin dashed through the grounds, but not before seeing his ally turn into a giant bird. This was amazing considering that Tenjin has never seen a tehnique like this before, but then again, this is why he came to the Chunin exam, to see the different types of shinobi around the world. While hunting his two academy brats, Tenjin was tracking them which was something routine to him, if he didn’t do it then the entire day would be off, because Tenjin wants to be ANBU which for all intents and purposes are hunter ninjas. But anyhow, once done running, Tenjin began to walk as he thought he was getting closer due to the footprints becoming more faint as if the kids stopped running and thus pushing down on the ground. As he walked through a small Kumo forest he had seen one of the academy students. The brat then started to vanish into the forest leaving behind a faint wind and a blur of speed. ‘This kid is fast’ Tenjin thought. Sometimes Tenjin wondered how your molecules reacted to such bursts of speed and then he noticed the kid getting further as wild birds flew overhead once the youth passed their habitat.
Upon figuring this out he dashed through the rocky forest. “How can this kid be fast enough to just then disappear like that. Not because he was moving faster that Tenjin, but instead because he was moving faster than the slowest genin, but whatever made him move at the speed he did, it must be some clan and specialty combinational speed boost.” Tenjin said as he tried to analyze more details befitting of the situation he had just witnessed. Of course Tenjin was faster, but he wanted to see how his body was able to move as fast as it did, it may have been due to the instinctual inheritance the kid had that was unique to him and his clan. He did not dismiss this because he knew it was possible. While running, Tenjin was calmly inhaling air and then exhaling it. This cycle began over and over until he made the ram hand sign and released his chakra as aura around his feet, he then sucked it back in as he did air through his nostrils. When this occurred it felt as though Tenjin was a bottle and the chakra was some rampant energy he was containing. After noticing this feeling Tenjin decided to move through the trail and see how fast it would take him to catch up to the young student. Tenjin took off, his first steps leaving a footprint in the solid ground and the wind inverted it’s movement as Tenjin moved passed it as if he was some sort of knife slicing through the air. He was paying attention to the footprints made by the academy student and when he got to the end of the prints, he noticed that the prints appeared to just suddenly stop. The body flicker jutsu was very taxing for the body because Tenjin was very winded when he caught up, which must be why this jutsu is advised to only utilize when escaping combat and not during. “Where could this kid be?” Tenjin said scratching his head. “He has some incredible speed, most definitely something to be feared in a battle when he ages and becomes of rank, this special ability may mean that this kid was the leader of the gang.” Tenjin said realizing the calf muscle in his leg was twitching. “If he were to master his speed he would become a force to be reckoned with, even against those who are completely faster than him now, like me.” Tenjin was definitely giving this kid well deserved credit, exactly where credit was due. “If I were him, where would I go?” He said walking back as he could not run right away in fear of the pain of a cramp.
On his way back he had seen a blur past in the bushes, this immediately put Tenjin on alert and he readied himself for anything. Tenjin has been training to be a sensory type and although unable to sense shinobi, an academy student is different as he felt the chakra signature of something small, but it contained a fair amount of chakra repeatedly expelling it and retracting back into it’s body as it circles the bushes around Tenjin. Tenjin decided to use his own top speed suspecting that the kid worn out already, he waited to make sure the kid would continue the same path in a circle and when he confirmed this he pounced on the kid he had seen before, dashing through the rocky forest, grabbing him by the legs. “Ha, I caught you.” Tenjin said, while the kid screamed out “Nooo!” in a shocked manner. He put the kid down and began to walk away, with the kid basically handcuffed by Tenjin hands. The kid just kept attempting to show its speed as he was trying to escape by dashing off, but Tenjin was too strong. “If I wouldn’t of been running around you, you would have never caught me.” The kid said with a smug face, “Are you challenging me?” He asked the young academy student out of curiosity. The kid gave Tenjin a face that can best be explained with the phrase, “oh please.” Tenjin then let go of the kid as he stood there and jumped in the air repeatedly to apparently warm up.
Tenjin accepted this challenge, but first said, “If I beat you, you have to promise to not cause any more problems in the village. You have a lot of potential kid, and I would hate to see it wasted in a jail cell.” Tenjin and the kid then lined up as the kid said, “You got it.” The objective seemed to be if Tenjin could catch the kid at full speed. Then all of the sudden the kid dashed off into the rocky forest once again, Tenjin caught off guard was then trailing behind the young academy student as it changed direction in what seemed to be a quick jerky manner propelled by the tip of his toes. As he and this creature sped through the forest and toward where the gang was first ambushed, both of them dodging trees, they have some sort of dance of speed. Rushing the foliage and tall rocks, boulder and such they traveled a great distance in little time. Tenjin was pretty close to getting the kid until he jumped and realized he missed, before he hit the ground he put his hand on the ground to keep his momentum rolling. The kid appeared to have had a bad habit of taunting, since when he thought he had won with Tenjin missing catching him, he stood there and waited for Tenjin to speed up before he continued running. This would prove to be his downfall because he did not expect Tenjin to keep his speed the way he did. This is when Tenjin took his chance and grabbed the kid by the leg in an instant right before it took off. The young academy student acknowledged defeat and praised Tenjin for winning, but to Tenjin, all he cares about is for the gang to stop their troublesome behaviors. Tenjin and the kid walked back and reached the tree that Tenjin put the first academy student under. Tenjin saw that his partner was doing well since she caught her two and put them under the tree as well. Tenjin then said, “Alright, stay here and when your friends wake up just tell them about the deal we had.” When Tenjin ran off, he noticed his partner also looking for the last bandit. “Hey, any luck as to knowing where the last kid went? I think I caught their leader, he’s back there with the rest. Our mission is completed for all intents and purposes since he promised to end the troubles the gangs were causing.” Tenjin then asked, "are you a sensory type? if so, maybe you could find the last youth and I will follow."
