⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Extreme

Thoughts:

It's a dangerous name. I've "heard" of him - from what he's done in the war. I've "heard' of the things most don't know too..."whispers" from the the underground. I'm not sure there is a more dangerous man in this exam. Must be sure to keep far way from him...but I doubt he knows anything.

Assassination Method:

Impossible. For Now.

⠀

⠀

Threat Level:

Notable

Thoughts:

Idiot - yet his "red eyes" give him power, considerable power that can't be denied - another 'lineagist'. I would be happy to eliminate this one.

Assassination Method:

Fast, far faster than me...and not as lacking in 'deception' as many smarter than him. Yet not much more than that. Rile him up, make him act foolishly...trick him. Attack from where he can't see. His shallow knowledge of deception will be the noose upon his neck. "Poison" would be good...but not necessary. I'd use it anyway.

⠀

⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Low

Thoughts:

'Medic'...smart, too, but does not know much...would have been much smarter in the frost. In a way, reminds me of...

I have read that her clan can produce an "elixir" capable of waking the very dead - could her blood be just as potent? Maybe I should take it...cure these scars upon my brow. No...not yet. I must wait until things are settled. I must not erase my "reminder"...her reminder. She must see it too...see the consequences. Even if it takes several decades. As for this woman...i'll keep an eye on her.

Assassination Method:

Not a high 'threat' by herself - rain should cover up any 'smell.' She's good at hiding...but not enough. I dont want to let her heal them, but she could not find me even with her sensing. She should go second, a quick slice would be easy enough, but I fear she may somehow survive it. To be sure, should swipe off the head. Would her blood resist my poison? Not sure. Don't want to risk it.

⠀
⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Alarming

Thoughts:

Yet another one with potential...? It seems there are many like us...yet lacking knowledge. It seems he is also capable of fighting for far longer than the others...could achieve much, yet too worried about going fast. He does not deserve the techniques passed down to him. If i were to take one of these lightning tags, could I learn how to use them...?

Assassination Method:

Fastest. It seems this team moves quickly...but their medic slows them down. He's very fast...and not an Idiot like his other. I wouldn't want a confrontation head to head. Yet lacking in sensory...a trap would work best. He should go first, no doubt about it. Illusions would be strong against him. He's fast enough to go through my clones - but under the rain, he'd be an clear target. Poison would work greatly against him - something to stop his movement. He'd just flee otherwise.

⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

???

Thoughts:

Smarter than me, by a long shot. What sort of knowledge does he hold...? I know better than to try to steal from him for now. I'll wait until he croaks...or is that a mistake? His creations are impressive, at the least - and think themselves to be human...how utterly cruel. Yet perhaps better than to be born without a clan.

Assassination Method:⠀

Unsure of strength - but if he's alive at such an age despite all that he has done, he must be strong. Should never be given time to think. Would rather not fight him at all unless I learned more.

⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Considerable

Thoughts:

Old. I may not understand how he has yet to become a chunin - but I know why one may seek a goal so tenaciously. I hope to be able to ignore him as long as I am able - but if he stands in my way, I will not hesitate to put him to rest.

Assassination Method:

Despite the age, he seems to possess unnatural mastery of nature - and that crown of his seems to be the source of it. I would not engage him in open combat under any circumstances. As far as my knowledge goes, however, he does not possess any sensory abilities, nor a grand intellect. I'd go for a quick attack. Finish him before he realizes he is dead.

⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Considerable

Thoughts:

Homunculus. A "false human" created by the bizarre old man - if this is the type of creature he is able to give form, I can see how he has survived so long. It believes itself to be a human being, yet possesses the mind of a child, a crude mockery by it's creator, even more when sent down the path of a ninja. To put it down before it is thrown away would be a "mercy".

Assassination Method:

It is undeniably strong - I am not sure my blade would be able to destroy it without difficulty - but it is, ultimately, simplistic, easily tricked, and in the face of deception, strength grows fallow. I would leave it for last, taking away support from the other members of this team before slowly whittling it down to pieces. If it worked against 'that woman', it will work against 'Kichōna'

⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Considerable

Thoughts:

Beast. She is one of the Oni, a tribe of humanoids grown to possess colorful skin, horns, and prodigious strength. Despite being an angry drunk of little intelligence, she holds great force thanks to her origins. Lineagist...it is a title she deserves. Yet even so, I must applaud the capability her tribe possesess for deceit.

Assassination Method:

It is said that some Oni possess regeneration of unearthly proportions, their legendary fighters said to once be able to bounce back from complete annihilation in mere seconds, unkillable by anything short of complete erasure of their bodies. If she belongs to this group, there is little I can do to defeat her. Yet she does not appear so. In such a case, she would not be too grave in danger - although strong, she is slow, both physically and mentally. Direct strikes at the brain should be enough to deal her in.

⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Extreme

Thoughts:

Fake. I have learned tales of her indeed, a medical nin, capable of feeling one's very emotion, selfless and kind, even when holding within herself a sealed beast of unimaginable destructive potential. I am not so stupid. Such acts are a lie, reserved only for those society considers to be valuable. I must stay away from her nonetheless, lest my true intentions be found out...

Assassination Method:

Unlikely - though a medical nin, I know very well that even her simplistic fistfighting would be a match for mine, strengthened by the power of the tailed beast as she is. I have no delusions of being able to fight the powers of such a dangerous being, not when she is able to see through my hiding rain and clones as if they were nothing. If she is to die, it must be a quick, singular attack to a vital spot - any more, and the monster within her is likely to be set free.
⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Notable

Thoughts:

Assassin. We share professions...yet not - a "Lineagist" of lower grade. Learned, from the careless chatter of this team that her spirit has been broken by her clan...weakling. Such miniscule mistreatment. She knows not of true "hardship".

Assassination Method:

Light may hide those of her clan, yet I need not eyes to see...vibrations can be felt from movement. She won't expect to be attacked when invisible. Swipe across the throat, or even a simple poison-filled needle...she'll be gone quick. She can never defeat one who has suffered true hardship...
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Low

Thoughts:

Cursed. That's what she is, no...? Wielder of "curses". Something easy to do when you are blessed with power over life-force. To be alive...to walk this wretched land. That's the true curse right there. She will learn that, sooner or later.

Assassination Method:

Dangerous curses, boosted by blood. Yet in the end, merely a medical nin. Is not good at combat...should avoid direct confrontation just to be sure. She knows not of the Art of Deception. A standard Silent Assasination from amidst the Rain will work...should do it quick, to ensure she can't curse me with her dying breath.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Low

Thoughts:

Alike. I believe we are, in certain ways...can see within those eyes, of someone who knows the 'reality' of this world, it's grand injustice. How sad it is that he does not wield what he possesses.

Assassination Method:

Summoning...a dangerous skill to have, in a world with such wild beasts. If one were to be caught within his traps, their doom would be all but certain. I must avoid such a fate...take him down quickly, before he is able to transform, or summon these clones even better than mine.
⠀⠀
⠀
⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Severe

Thoughts:

Despair. Funny to see how 'despair' can drive one to greater power, and I could not give a better example than her. It seems she has lost the beast which her clan is known for. I do not believe she is versed in 'trickery' as I am, but such experience brings forth a natural paranoia. Remain far away, just to be 'sure'...
⠀

Assassination Method:

Powerful, as all Tokubetsu Jonin are. I am not sure if she would be able to see through my Hiding Rain. Unable to 'defeat' her in combat. Definitely has experience fighting Genjutsu, if she is a veteran of the razing of the spiral village. Only chance at 'victory' would be poison. Use as many as possible.

⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Notable

Thoughts:

Snake. Innocent, far too much for such a profession. A fool to believe 'medicine' can be improved by presence in the field of battle. She will end up in a 'ditch' just like all the others, and her work will be lost. Such is the fate of a "shinobi"...yet she does not understand that, does she? Pitiful creature. She deserves a swift death.

Assassination Method:⠀⠀

⠀Poison would be useless...and a threat to meyself, for once. It would be of great benefit indeed to find out what knowledge of poison she holds, improve my collection. Yet doesn't know how to fight...doubt she can see through my Hiding Rain, but it might not be necessary. Don't want to over-use it. Taking her out from a distance would be safer, using a kunai or a shuriken...a senbon would be fine, too. Though a water clone could also work...
⠀⠀

⠀⠀
⠀

Threat Level:

Low

Thoughts:

Vainglorious. Yet another one of wasted intelligence - seems to believe his mediocre 'knowledge' makes him better than all...? Foolish. Doesn't even look like a 'man'. It would be my pleasure to show the depth of his foolishness - though not enough to leave him alive to regret it...

Assassination Method:⠀

Foolishness is his downfall. Though possessing of considerable combat prowess, he has not the mind for deception. He would not be able to detect me, even without the use of my Hiding Rain. Nonetheless, it would be wise to strike when he has yet to begin moving. Poison would work greatly, too.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀

⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Considerable

Thoughts:

Survivor. Few of the Uzumaki continue to be alive. It appears their line was weaker, in the end. Yet they still remain a threat when met...despite being a lineagist of the highest order, he seems to understand the truth of power, though he has not yet grasped the true manner in which one achieves it...all the most powerful techniques in the world are worth nothing if your throat is cut in your sleep or your drinking water poisoned with a lethal toxin. Too late for him to learn, however. If the destruction of his village did not wake him, nothing will.

Assassination Method:⠀

Extremely dangerous, such are those who bear the Will of the Whirlpool, dying ember as it may be. Though his abilties in sealing are unparalelled, you can only seal what you know and see. If taken through surprise, there is little he can do...poison advised. It is better to make it quick, before he realizes what is happening and uses his ridiculous powers. If he holds a 'seal' containing a medical 'jutsu', however, that would be a problem...though not enough to save him.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀

⠀⠀

Threat Level:

???

Thoughts:

Mysterious. Not much found about him...for a Tokubetsu Veteran of the Great War, that is most certainly not a good 'sign'. Know not the true extent of his powers. Not much else to say. Suspicious...

Assassination Method:

Unable to know what his true arsenal is...yet one able to kill with an umbrella should not be underestimated. Said to have the strongest barrier among the team leaders...not good at all. Doesn't seem to have sensory abilities, however...could my Hiding Rain work? I need more information.

⠀⠀

⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Alarming

Thoughts:

Ingrate. To receive such a powerful blood yet be miserable for a small limitation? There are very few who deserve the title of lineagist more. He despises curses verily, I have "heard". How ironic. The true curse is his kin, a curse laid upon all who are alive, living in a world where beings of such unfairness live to rule. They all deserve the mark upon their brow...and it's collective activation as well.

Assassination Method:

Holding a technique of unimaginable strength, and able to see through my deception through his white eyes. The best option would be to poison him before the battle even started...but otherwise, my Haze Clones should do the trick. Even the white eyes would not be able to tell the difference between them. To fight one who can see from all directions, you must strike from all directions, and I shall do so through them. Finish off before he uses his seven breaths, or defeat is all but assured.

⠀⠀

⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Alarming

Thoughts:

Insufficient. Calling oneself a monk, yet knowing less than even the children of the Frost, is the height of foolishness. Or perhaps that is the point...? A painter of undeniable skill, with bizarre energies writen of only in the rarest of texts. His bloodline is of the magnet, hailing from the sand, yet he lives in the distant 'leaf'. For what reason...?

Assassination Method:

I have seen such a technique before, and I wish not to see it again. If he is able to sense the very magnetic fields that surround us, then my Tantou will do little against him. Poison would not work...such energies would purify it. Best killed before he is able to realize what is happening. I'll have to find a blade without metal...sharpened bone, perhaps?

⠀⠀

⠀⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Extreme

Thoughts:

Baffling. Such powerful eyes, stolen by one of her age...? How does she possess the Mangekyo? It is a power even the Uchiha rarely have. Prideful unlike none I have seen, yet perhaps this time with a reason. Such eyes would fetch an price unlike none other within the undermarkets, yet the challenge remains in taking them.

Assassination Method:

The Kaleidoscope Eye...Mangekyo. It is among the greatest weapons of the Uchiha Lineagists, yet she has stolen them. If she has not yet been killed, it must be for a reason. Such eyes can see through my Hiding Rain. Using my Haze Clones would trick her...yet it is a risky move. The best option is to poison at a range. Should definitely be taken out first.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Low

Thoughts:

Still alive, you miserable woman...? I knew that. I kept track. It'll change soon enough...you're to blame too. You are the reason I was left to rot. You had all that knowledge, yet didn't know we would be ambushed. All that experienced, and yet got hit all the same. You have more 'value', and why? Because of your eyes. I'll make sure to finish the job the Mist started all those years ago...but I have bigger targets first. You'll survive until then, no..?

Assassination Method:

She cannot defend herself.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Alarming

Thoughts:

Monster. Such mastery of the poisonous arts, yet what does it bring you? You cannot even approach others without that mask. Yet you are replaceable. There are many others who could undergo the Salamander Surgery...you are not irreplaceable. So you'll be left to die. That's the way she does things.

Assassination Method:

To even approach him is a hazard. My poison is completely useless against this man...but he knows little of Deception. Taking him out from a distance is the only option...far away enough that his toxic breath cannot hit me.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Considerable

Thoughts:

Wild. To possess the nature of the woods is a feat of luck indeed...but he would have been far better off remaining in the wilds. I would waste no time in eliminating him first...but I shall not harm this team yet. I must wait.

Assassination Method:

As with many others, though his power in open combat is considerable, he lacks the capacity to see through deception. If one is able to trick him, he should be no less susceptible to a poisonous blade than any other human. His birds shall do little when faced with a downpour of rain.

⠀⠀

Threat Level:

Irrelevant

Thoughts:

You're here. It seems this world has seen fit to cut my wait short, bringing me to you...how many years has it been? Too many. I'll let you live for now, enjoying the fruits of your betrayal, careless and free. Will see soon that it is a lie. I've come back from the depths of hell, Sen-chan...and i'm here to drag you down there.

Assassination Method:

Violently.
