Darkness covered the land. What few specs of light that could be seen came from the moon, barely visible behind the gigantic storm clouds that were quickly rolling in. The two ninja, garbed in the traditional ANBU attire, sat in a tree, observing their prey. He was still very far away, but their tracking skills allowed them to detect his course, letting them accurately predict where their target would be. The target was two hundred yards away. Their range was one hundred yards. If they could close the remaining distance without being noticed they would be able to take this guy out before he even knew they were there.

They flew through the trees silently. They didn’t talk. They didn’t sneeze or cough. They just moved. It only took them a few moments to catch up, and when they did, they both began to make a string of hand signs that would begin their jutsu.

They were the best at what they did. This was the last mission that they had to go on before their promotion, and it would be a synch. They just had to catch their target off guard.

Maybe Ke was taking his Missing-nin status a little too casually. Even though he was in his own country of origin, the place he’d betrayed and left, he still had the gall to have a cigarette in his mouth. In the middle of the night, which was darker than most due to the cloudy fixtures in the sky, a tiny red dot gave away his position, and that would most likely be his undoing. So why smoke on such a black night? Simply, it was nervousness. Smoking always helped ease his nerves.

If it hadn’t been for that anonymous tip, then Ke might have been in some serious trouble as well. This tip didn’t allow him any otherworldly sight however, as Ke was still oblivious to the Hunter-nin's whereabouts. He needed them to attack him. But he couldn’t afford to gamble with his own life.

So, hopefully what these Hunter-nin didn’t realise was that the ‘person’ with a cigarette in it’s mouth, was in fact a Bunshin. Under the guise of the dark, Ke planned to use this fake as a lure.

The real him on the other hand was hiding in wait, underneath the ground.

The two ninja continued on with their jutsu, despite the fact that this was a clone. Yes, even though they were 100 yards away, they could still tell the difference. It was what they had been trained for since early childhood. The problem did not lay in how to take down the clone, but in how to find the original. They could not sense him, which meant he was either not there entirely, or hiding somewhere. The latter was the more likely of the two possibilities.

Their jutsu, however, was based on the assumption that the original was close by. If not, he would still be unaware of their whereabouts, as their jutsu was subtle: subtle yet effective. It was never a smart thing to use a flashy jutsu that alerted everyone of their position, especially when their opponent was of higher rank that they were.

After completing the jutsu, the two of them made one more hand sign and created a specialized clone. It was not a shadow clone, and therefore did not drain all of their chakra, but it was a good clone for tactical missions.

The clones leaped down from the tree they were in and began running toward the enemy’s clone. Almost right away, the two split up so that they were running toward the clone, but so that they would be on either side of it when they reached it. One wielded a katana, the other, two knives.

While the clones ran, their originals maintained the stream of chakra going into their combined jutsu. They needed their enemy to be within range, and they needed him to be within earshot.

This offensive technique was a genjutsu. It was designed for wither single use, or use with two ninja. To sum it up, it didn’t effect clones, only humans. Once the sound reached the ninja’s ears he would be done for.

It’s a shame Ke was underground and therefore incapable of distinguishing that the two footsteps he felt were a couple of clones. Fortunately, he’d get an idea on where they were coming from, since they hadn’t bothered to do any bee-line manoeuvres. This information would prove valuable when he wanted to know where the originals were roughly located.

Performing the needed hand seals, Ke then went ahead with his plan. His Earthy clone pulled out a kunai and brandished it readily as the two approached, whilst the original Ke attempted to subdue both of them by pulling them underground. As if on cue, his clone would then attempt to slash at the one with a katana.

The original Ke still stayed underground.

Ke was a little annoyed as soon as his attack caused each clone to disperse, but his annoyance turned into alarm as soon as he heard the strange noise. He instantly recognised that this may be a Genjutsu, but he knew all too well that he wasn’t very skilled to deal with any such attack on his own.

With an instinctive turn of the head, Ke gave his rocky Bunshin a glance, which it reacted to by rushing in front of him. This would hopefully ward off any frontal attacks from the Hunter-nin. That wasn’t the only thing though, because the clone could also act as great cover. So Ke set to work on a few hand seals.

Underneath the ground, utilising the same technique he used prior, were a couple shadow clones in waiting. Hopefully the Hunter-nin would feel a false sense of ease and reveal themselves now.
Jutsu UsedShow
*Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the needed handseals, the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to the user's stamina). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed.

Unfortunately for the nin, that was not the case. The moment he heard the sound he would be caught in the genjutsu. This jutsu was two in one. The first ninja's jutsu plunged the ninja into darkness except for the light which came from the lake of fire over which he was now hanging. It also made the ninja believe that his body was bound with chains, and that he was suspended over the lake.

The second ninja's jutsu gave the fire it's blistering heat, gave the ninja the feeling of the suspension over the fire, so that he no longer smelled or felt the dirt that was around him. The jutsu would make the man's body believe that the situation was real. His body would sweat, and he would taste the smoke from the fire. If he tried to breath, he would find it difficult, and his body would reject the smoke. The end result would be him passing out from the supposed lack of oxygen. Well, if it worked, that is.

(OOC: Just to clarify, Checkers, but I'm guessing you have three guys casting each, separately, a different Genjutsu on this one guy.

I wouldn't call this an S Rank, but then again, I don't know the ranks up the Genjutsu you're using. Could you clarify the individual ranks of jutsu?)

((OOC: They are both Chuunin, and are casting an A-rank jutsu each, but due to the fact that the jutsu is two in one, it's power is almost that of an S-rank, but not quite. I hope that clears it up.))

The Genjutsu was effective. While he saw and felt the world around him dissolve, Ke had managed to create a couple clones underground to hide. His other more rocky counterpart, the Earth Clone, would be able to defend him in the mean time - it had stepped in front of him and gotten into a readied stance.

As Ke knew from a few bad experiences, his being inept at Genjutsu meant that there was only one way to get out of a potential mess: something painful. The two Shadow clones, which were still in hiding thanks to the Mole Hiding Jutsu used previously, would be very useful to this plan.

He’d simply need one of them to cut off an arm once he fell under the illusion. All he had to beware of was if the illusion wasn’t obvious but; thanks to a feeling of sudden suspension, chains entangled around him, and a pit of super-heated lava seemingly below him, the illusion was anything but subtle.

Subtlety didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous though, so he wanted to get out of it as soon as possible. The air was thick and the heat was blistering, so he felt he’d only last a little while under those conditions.

In the mean time, his Shadow Clones would prepare to get underneath where the original Ke stood, as the plan was to switch the original Ke and a clone.

Turned out this would all work out quite well for Ke, who was still using his Earth Clone as cover to his actions. It’d be time for his plan to come to fruition.

One of the Shadow Clones waited underneath him, the other readying a kunai at it’s arm. In one fluid movement, his clone had cut off it’s right arm and dispersed, the memory of pain flooding into Ke, waking the Missing-nin up from the Genjutsu instantly. As if on cue, the clone underneath him had then used the Body Flicker in time with Ke, as the two switched places and the original Ke got underground.

To make sure that the sudden dust created by the jutsu wouldn’t alert the Hunter-nin to what was going on, as created by the Body Flicker, the Earth Clone had been discontinued, falling apart in a dusty mess.

His clone, now feigning to be the original, was also pretending to fall unconscious. Hopefully this would act as a good piece of bait.

Ke remained underground, waiting for any sign of the Hunter-nin making sounds. In case they’d use clones again, this time he’d make a note of their exact position of creation, too. Everything would work out for the better. He was happy to be underneath the cool earth and took this time of respite to catch his breath.

The two Hunter-nin seemed to come out of their hiding place, running at a vigorous pace towards the feigning clone. What appeared to be a finishing attack wouldn‘t be the end of this cat and mouse match, though. This Missing-nin had other plans.

Bursting with an enormous amount of speed, before the Hunter-nin could strike, as imitated by the Shadow Clone whose abilities paralleled the original; once the two Hunter-nin came close enough, Ke’s hand once again sprang up from the ground and attempted to pull the two downwards. At the same moment, Ke’s clone had gotten upright and pounced on the closest Hunter-nin, forming a single seal before whipping its now sharpened hair to strike at them.

If the trap was a success, the result would be the Missing-nin’s head or upper body being slashed to pieces, hopefully resulting in a quick and merciful death. Either way, the two Hunter-nin would need to escape the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique if caught unaware.

The plan worked perfectly. The two men were pulled beneath the soil and were promptly decapitated. The missing ninja was safe... for now.
