Test Description

You are all found within a Large Hallway. Within the hallway is a plaided flooring in the color of a checker board. The Colors are Red and Black with gold lacing on the sides of each square. If one was to tap on the floor they would find out that it was simple enough with no specific types of hidden creations within the floor. The Walls are painted with a white like flower wallpaper that goes from one end of the Large Hallway to the opposite end where there is a normal size mahogany Door. On the left, and right hand side of the Large Hallway are five doors on each side. Each door is normal size, seeming to be oak wood, stained in a nice stained color. The door knobs are within the colors of dark gold. Each door has their own design to them that may or may not be different to them. (One would have to examine to see.) Each Door are separated within a distance of fifteen feet, while the last Door is through at the opposite end. Between each door, every three feet is a small candle light stick placed along the walls. The Ceiling is hard, and can not be open as an odd design is created on the ceiling.

The objective is to find a way out of this hallway and find a hidden scroll within one of the rooms. The Scroll will signify that the team are capable of going to the next test.

<sub>--Strange--

Being in a large hallway with his teammate Karo was an unexpected part of the exams. Kiro was expecting some sort of battle rather than searching for a scroll. But, seeing as that was his objective, there was nothing he could do about it. The boys hand would rise to his face. After rubbing his eye a little bit, Kiro would observe the large hallway. The first thing that he noticed was the flooring. Kiro always loved checkers, but this was the first time that he had seen someone have a checkerboard pattern on the floor. Rather than criticising the choice in design as he usually does, the boy would smirk a little. "Hmph, not bad...", he said. From the floor, Kiro would gaze to the walls. White flower wallpaper streched all the way to the end of the hallway. It was at the end that the boy would find a door. "Hmmm, judging by the color I would say this door is mahogany...", the boy would think to himself.

Speaking of doors, that was the next thing that Kiro would find. Five doors on each side of the hallway. Each door appeared to be wooden, with a dark colored knob. Between each door, there were candles providing some light, but not enough to make clear observations. It was in one of these doors that they would find a scroll. "Hmmm, there's something odd about these doors...", Kiro would say under his breath." The distance between them is vast, well not vast like an ocean, but pretty big." Kiro was right. There was at least a 15 foot space in between each door." It kind of makes you wonder how big these rooms must be...or mabye there are just 2 rooms, one on each side, and all the doors on each side go to the same room...", Kiro would say.

Next, his eyes were drawn to the ceiling. If there were any traps in here, the ceiling would be a good place to hide them. But despite what the boy had heard about traps in ceilings, THIS ceiling looked pretty safe. It appeared hard and it had a odd design to it. But Kiro was'nt willing to risk anything. He stayed right where he was. Then the boys eyes would wander to his teammate, Karo. "I think we should throw something on the floor, just to be sure that there are no traps...", Kiro said. "What do you think...?"</sub>

<sub>--Play Smart--

The boy never was patient. Rather than waiting for Karos reply, he would reach into the small pouch that was fastened to his belt. After rattling around his shinobi tools, he would remove his hand from the pouch, revealing two Makibishi spikes. These spikes are generally used as a trap for enemies. The Makibishi were specifically designed so that no matter how they land on the ground, a sharp edge would point up. So if one were to step on a Makibishi, it would be jammed in their foot. But Kiro was'nt planning on using the spikes to trap someone. He was going to use them to try and foil any traps in the room. But the Makibishi alone would'nt be enough.

The boy then reached into the pouch again. Rattling through his items he would eventually pull out some wire. "Hmph..." The boy would begin to wrap the wire around one of the Makibishi. He was planning on throwing the wire with Makibishi across the ground, at least reaching the second door. Then he would pull it back. This would simulate someone walking across the ground. If there were any traps on the ground, they would go off. "Alright, lets see...", the boy said as he threw the Makibishi. It would land not quite at the second door. If nothing happened at that point, the boy would pull back the Makibishi with the wire, using a 'wavy' motion with his hand causing the Makibishi to slide from side to side. If nothing were to happen then, he would draw his blade. He was'nt done with the Makibishi yet, but for now he didnt need it. Kiro then approached the left side of the hallway. Holding ot his sword with his left hand, the boy would tap the walls with it. This would trigger any traps on the walls. But as he did that, he would keep an eye on the right side of the room, because the left wall could trigger a trap on the right wall. If every thing was all clear, he would proceed to the door.

The boy would back up to where he started, he knew that every spot on the ground that he had touched was trap free. After arriving back at the starting point, he would hold the second Makibishi. With a quick thrust of his arm, the spike would be thrown to the door with a nice amount of force. Any traps in the door would be set off.</sub>

[~KARO~]

((OCC: Dropping out of the exams. I will not be on for a couple of days. It is not because of my computer it is becase I don't care about this at the momment. Sorry Kiro{Not really} but I'm out.))

Hope you pass!!!!!!!!

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The boys cleverly planned checking scheme caused no traps to spring. It would seem the part of the floor and walls he checked were trap free. The door hit with the Makibishi seemed safe as well. The metal spike simply stuck into the wooden door. For now, it seemed the boy was safe....

((OOC: I am not sure you fail or not. For now continue as if your team mate has decided not to help you. Ill post back here with a decision if you fail or not.))

[ryo]

[OCC- Ok, Thanks~]

<sub>--Everything seems quiet--

Nothing appeared to happen as Kiro used his tools to try and spring a trap. From what he could tell, the floor was safe and so was the door that he hit with the Makibishi. Kiro would raise his hand to his head, scratching behind his ear as he walked towards the door. He was relieved that there wer'nt any traps, but he still had a little doubt. "The floor seems safe, but i'm still a bit curious about the door.", the boy would mutter to himself as he arrived in front of the door. "Sure the actual door seems safe, but turning the knob might trigger something." Kiro was'nt going to take any chances. Once again, he would need the Makibishi and the string.

After taking a few steps away from the wall and the door, the boy would toss the Makibishi towards the door knob. Because of the angle that he was standing at, the Makibishi swung around the knob a couple of times, wrapping around it. Now that it was secure around the knob, the boy would begin to pull the string. This would surely turn the knob. If anything was going to be triggered by the knob, it would happen right about now. If nothing happened Kiro would proceed to the door, which,unless it was locked, would've been opened by the Makibishi and the string. While he walked up to the door, Kiro would collect his string and Makibishi, and put it in his pouch. What would he find behind door number one...?</sub>

[ryo]

[OCC: Heero gave me the OK to continue so...]

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The door knob would turn, however the door would not open. It would seem that the door was jammed, but unlocked. One could easily push or shove the door open with minimal force...

[ryo]

<sub>--Hmph--

For some odd reason, the door would'nt open. Kiro could see the knob turning as he pulled the string, but the door remained motionless. At that point it became apparent to Kiro that the designer of the hallway was'nt a very good designer. The door was obviously too large for the space. By that, I mean it was jammed in the wall. Kiro was about to let go of the string and tackle the door when he had a thought. "Hmm...this could be a trap...", Kiro thought as he rose his hand to his chin. "Perhaps by using brute force on the door itself, one could set off a trap." Kiro once again pulled on the string. "But, im taking NO chances." Kiro, holding the string in his left hand, rose his right hand to the hilt of his sword. After drawing in out quickly, Kiro shoved the blade in between the door and the wall. Shifting and bending the sword while it was suck in between the door and the wall and pulling gthe string at the same time would surely cause the door to open...</sub>

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The door would indeed pop open. No traps would be set off at all. Did the boy dodge yet another trap? Or was he being ever to careful? The door would slowly creak open, showing a bightly lighted room. The room it self was very simple, 15' by 15'. There was nothing on the walls or the floors, nor the ceilings. It all looked very safe. In the center lay a small chest. Could this be the chest that hold the scroll the boy desired for victory?

[ryo]

<sub>--Victory...?--

Suddenly, the door opened without anything happening. The boys use of his tools had kept him alive so far. Kiro put his sword back in the sheath on his waist and took the string and Makibishi from the knob. Kiro approached the doorway. He wasnt ready to waltz right in just yet. From what he could tell, the only thing in the room was a small chest in the middle of the room. There were NO pictures or anything of that sort on the walls. NO tables or chairs or even wallpaper. Just a chest. "Hmmmm, my objective is to find a scroll...and i'm sure the people in charge of this part of the exam are'nt just gonna leave a scroll lying around, so mabye it's in the chest.", Kiro thought to himself. Kiro would then pull out his old trusty Makibishi on a string. With a quick thrust of his arm, the Makibishi would be thrown to the chest, bouncing off of it and landing on the floor. If nothing happened then, Kiro would drag the Makibishi back to him, it would slide across the floor in a straight line. If everything seemed OK, Kiro would draw out his sword.

Kiro would walk in a straight line towards the chest. He would only take steps where the Makibish had been thrown. It would only take a matter of seconds for him to reach the chest. While standing in front of the chest, Kiro would inspect it. Looking at all sides of the chest, he would look for anything suspicious. If all seemed fine, Kiro would tap the chest with his sword. Sure, there were probably safer ways he could have done this, but Kiro was beginning to think nothing was wrong. If indeed nothing happened then, he would open the chest, slowly, with the the blade of his sword...</sub>

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The ninja would make his way safely to the chest standing in the middle of the room. Seems the boy has been very lucky so far... But how long would that luck hold up? The pivotal moment was when the chest was popped open. It would not open but an inch when a click would be heard. Instantly a steel door would slide down over the doorway, sealing the boy inside. Suddenly, hidden pipes would pop out of all the walls pouring water out in extremely fast. It would take less then 30 seconds before the water would completely fill the room, drowning the young shinobi. Could he find a way out in time? Could he even get out with out the help of team mates? Was this young warrior destenied to die because of his friends leaving him...?

[ryo]

<sub>--Damn--

Suddenly, a click would be heard from the chest as the boy opened it. About a half a second later, a loud 'thud' came from behind the boy. Kiro turned around quickly to find a large steel door where the previously 'jammed' door was. "Uh-oh...." The boy pulled his sword from the chest. Then water began to gush in from all sides. It was coming in pretty quick, so there was'nt much time to act. As the water began rising rapidly to his waist, Kiro would hack away at the door with his blade. He knew that it was'nt enough to break it but there was nothing more he could do. Seconds later, the water was up to his head, making it hard for him to use his arms. Now completely submerged, there was little hope for Kiro. Still hacking at the door, his life flashed before his eyes. He could see himself, younger, and his parents. They were so happy. The image of his loved ones would fade to darkness as his body floated in the water. His life was over, before it could trully begin...</sub>

[Kiro is dead I guess]
