Art Is Chaos

Studio And Training

*Reka's pov* (finished sketch from last chapter)

When I got done meeting Kakashi-sensei, I went home to make the clay and read the letter. Once the small explosive clay was finished I layer the paper on the ground, the clay on top of it. Made hand signs and said "Katsu." The explosion was loud but small and when I picked the paper up I read what was written.

'Chaos,
Leader is intrigued about your born Kinjutsu. He would like for you to join when the time is right. He wants to test, your abilities. I protest for you to join but at the same time I wish you were here. I hope you're doing fine.
Love you, Big Brother, Deidara.'

I smiled at the letter. "I can be with brother again..." I say slowly. I decide to write back but stopped myself. "How can I get the letter to him, un? I don't know where he is.." I mutter to myself.

I then set to work testing out one of my paper creations. I wrote a small note on it. 'Yo, Duck Ass. If you get this; one, it means my test worked, yay. Two, come get me in the morning. Thanks!' I then made hand signs, Rabbit-->Monkey-->Ox, "Paper Creation; Bird." The paper turned into an animated, origami bird. I let I sit in my hand and started to channel chakra into it, then I focused on what Sasuke's chakra felt like. I walked towards the door and opened it letting the bird fly out. "Now, I'll work on my puppet..un." I say and that's what I do.

-time skip-

At 4:30 a knock was herd at the door but I ignored it and continued to work on my puppet. It was almost finished, I just had to add details to the face. The door opened, I still paid no attention to it. Whoever it is will get blown up or trapped. Only a few know how to get through without getting caught up in them. "Stupid girl." I hear someone mutter. "Your messenger bird works." He says holding the paper up.

"Thank you! I'll do another test run in the morning with either clay or ice." I say simply. He nods and I grab an apple to eat.

"Sensei said not to eat." He says monotoned.

"How else are we supposed to train, hmmm? We need our strength to train and we need food for strength. Besides an apple isn't filling, yah." I state. He gives me a dumb look and I shrug. We then walk out of the studio and towards the training ground. "What kind of training are we doing, un?" I ask after a few minutes of silence.

"You weren't paying attention." He states and I nod. "It's a survival training, a make it or break it deal. If we fail then we won't become ninja. If we pass then we start missions." He explains.

I nod in understanding as we get to the training ground. I see both Sakura and Naruto walking towards us as we walk into the clearing as well. As we all approach, Naruto greets Sakura and me, then glares at Sasuke. Sakura greets Sasuke and glares at me for being near Sasuke. "Morning, un. So I think we should come up with some kind of teamwork plan for this Survival test." I state simply.

"Why?" Sasuke asks glaring.

"Yeah, why?" Sakura asks also.

"No way. I'm not working with Teme. The future Hokage needs to do this on my own. Believe it." Naruto says.

I sigh and shake my head. "What ever this test is, Kakashi-sensei is an elite jounin, yah. He's in the bingo book. I'll guess we'll have to go up against him in this survival training, un. We're newly graduated genin, we won't last against him. And Naruto, do you really think Lord Hokage got to where he is without help, hmmmm? No. He got there with help from his team, yah." I say like it's common knowledge, which it is. I then felt a presence in the area.

I took my sketch pad out and wrote. 'He's near by, but he's most likely just watching us. Fake an argument, make it believable.' I show the others and the nod in understanding, picking up on the whole teamwork thing.
