Raziel remained as quiet and distant from his team as he was in the classroom. The only real noise that came from him were mumbles of agreement every now and then. The plan that Akira thought up seemed a little excessive to Raziel, but Raziel made no mention of it. To Raziel, it must have to be something that ninjas do to throw off any pursuers.

"Well, A... Akira is it?" Raziel said finally breaking his silence, "That's an okay plan, but if we double back so many times, we may become exhausted." He thought a few moments. "And if this is a test, like you say, there may be more to it than just sneaking to a place unseen." He brushed his hair from his face. "Also, what if there's a time limit that we weren't told about? Back tracking that many times may make us go over that time limit." Raziel went quiet again.

I wonder if this will be a test of our abilities? Raziel thought to himself. I wouldn't be surprised if these people around me had some sort of special ability like I do. He clutched his stub of an arm. Well, I guess this will be a learning experience for my family, as well as me. Raziel got a little nervous. After all, I am the first in my family to be a ninja and probably won't be the last.. He lost himself in thought.

(Okay... Yay... Ungrounded... I hate mowing lawns... So... My dude's still with the group.)

"I don't see the need. I doubt that we would face enemies in the middle of the village, and besides - We're hardly genin. We could waste energy 'scouting' as you say, or we could simply risk the possibility of being followed, and waste the energy with target practice. Full-scale combat would be an unwise teaching method in this stage of our learning." He turned back towards the door. "Besides, why take such precautions to ensure a boring outcome?"

Ranshi stopped. "I'm sure one of you knows the streets Konoha better than I do."

Uhh... Who said he's hated? We're simply coming up with a plan...

And please, make your posts more meaningful...

“First he underestimates spiders…now he over estimates a simple map reading exercise,” Hisoka muttered to himself with no intention of hushing his voice. “Come on, even the stupider students could tell this is a simple map…and like Raziel says we have a time limit based on what our teacher said. That boy Ranshi pointed out good points too, its not like we know enough for that sort of thing yet. I suppose Akira wasn’t listening in class…and I bet it’s not the first time if he’s paranoid enough to hate spiders.”

With that the youngest in the group quoted their teachers words just to make a point. As he eventually talked directly to the others, “Our teacher said, ‘we're sending you four off quickly, because you have no time to waste’. So we should take the most direct route through the village to meet our team leader…its not like it’s a mission.” At this point he bit back a teasing remark on whether Akira boy had his book as he continued. “Erm…the main streets are probably going to be busy now, so we should use the alleyways to help us get to the memorial as soon as possible…” Hisoka contributed before falling quiet once more.

Ranshi looked at the rest of his teammates. "We can argue, or we can go." He said, and walked out the door.

Raziel saw that it was starting to be a losing battle for Akira's plan. "Well," he spoke up again, "If this is a test that matches what Akira thinks, then if we just go straight there, we could fail. I doubt we'd be attacked by anyone 'bad' but that doesn't mean a teacher, or even someone in the town could set us up for a mock battle." He saw Ranshi get up and walk for the door. "In any case, Ranshi does have a point, we must go."

Raziel grabbed his head. "Ah! It's like one giant head game!" He rubbed his head. "If this is a test, we could fail if we rush, we could fail if we don't take time, we could fail for not being sneaky enough or any number of other possible things!" He shook his head and joined Ranshi heading out the door.

"I don't care which way you go." He quickly memorized the map. "I am leaving."

Ranshi headed out the door, not looking back. He recited another poem...

"The cinders burn us to the ground
The flames, they char our skin
The smoke smarts our bloodshot eyes
And hell will let us in."

Don't worry guys this will get much more fun once you meet me in the RP. I can't really carry it if I'm not there, but once I get into the game then we will boost the speed of the RP...

Akira laughed on the inside. So this Hisoka boy lives up to what my father said about Leaf Ninja. However, he makes a good point. But on the flip side of the coin, if this is a test, like i believe, we would fail it.
"I have a idea. We could split up, and each of us take our own way. That way, one could scout and make sure its not a trap, while one could go the direct route, and the others could go the back ways, and not back track. This way everybody wins, and if it was a test, we have that base covered. But like Ranshi stated, we should go."
