[E] Tsuyu Hoshigaki - 2

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway. The size seems just big enough to walk through, as well as any companions without causing anyone to squish. Even the one with the large machine would find it just big enough for it to get through without scraping along the walls. It was as though each one was designed specifically for each person. Could this be what the person who registered all for the exam was typing in the entire time?

As the passage continued to be navigated, the lights barely lighting up the walls, floor, and ceiling, a voice would finally ring out through the area, one that was rather familiar. It was the registrar, and apparent proctor of the exams.

”Greetings to you all for participating in the exams. For passing through your doorways, you have chosen to partake in this years Chuunin Examinations. Before the exams truly begin, I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.”

”Now then. As stated before, for these exams, you will be working alone, or with whichever animal or mechanical companion you brought with you. Each of you will be watched every step of the way. In a few moments, you'll step into a larger room where you will see a few things that we will be giving you for these exams.”

After those words were said, that room started to light up before each individual. It wasn't incredibly large, but gave a bit more breathing room unlike the previous passage. In the center of the room was a table. On it held a circular disk, a black box, and a small earpiece.

”Before you lies three things. A earpiece, that will help deliver special instructions. Anything you hear over the intercom is being broadcast to all areas. But anything that pertains directly to you will be played through the earpiece. If you choose not to wear it, be cautious, for you won't hear any special instructions that could cause you to fail the exams. The disk is something you eat should you feel the exams are too much. Your testing will end and you will immediately be ejected from the testing area to go back home. The black box is a room reset. It is a one time use. If you feel that you have come across something you cannot handle, throw the box at the ground and everything else in the room will disappear. But as I said, it is a one time use. If you use it on one thing, you may find yourself against a more difficult test later on.”

A few moments of silence passed before the words started up again, as though giving the participants a chance to collect the items and place them where they want them.

”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.”

And with that, a light appeared at the end of the room, allowing each person to go through and begin their personalized experience.

[OOC: As stated in the post, each thread will be different. If you are S rank, you'll fight harder enemies than one who just got the 500 TP needed for the exams. So each examiner will be doing things differently. The name of each thread lists who will be in it, and the number is who your examiner is. There is no IIC for these threads. You can take as long as you need to when making a post as I want you all to think about it and work on the best possible post that you can. The examiners have a 3 day IIC. If the examiner has not posted in that time, PM me and I'll be sure to get another examiner to post. I will also make a note if an examiner has PMed me to tell me that they will be gone for a short period of time. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or your examiner. Let the exams begin!]

[Mist]

After stepping through the doorway the mist genin found himself in a hallway of sorts. It was dark, rather small but enough to move through. He could tell this path was dark, but honestly he had no problem seeing anything. Everything was perfectly visible to him. Taking a breath in to calm himself. Tsuyu then walked a few steps forward. After he did so a voice rang through the area. He stopped and listened to it. The first half of the announcement was to announce that three participants did not make it. But they would be working along so he guess it didnt matter. So he counted all those people up earlier for nothing huh.

Tsuyu decided to walk forward as he listened to it. As he walked a light lit up right as the announcer described the room. He looked ya the table wondering what they were. But didnt have to wait long as the announcement was made describing the three items. He pretty much got the gist of things. He was pretty full on items. He wore a black jacket with white tank top and dark blue green pants with the standard black shinobi shoes. Hrmmm. Going into his butt bag he grabbed his key and placed it within his pant pockets. Replacing the it with the disk. Then grabbing two kunai out placing it on the table. Replacing the space those were in with the box. Placing the earpiece on his right ear.

He grabbed the two kunai decided to hold it with hi hands. A light appeared at the other side of the room. With no other path he could only go this way. He worried about the earpiece. The announcer said that without it you could miss information that can make you fail. But why would they try and give advice? He will have to be cautious throughout this whole exam. Tsuyu then walked to the light to begin his exam.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"I knew something smelled fishy."

The statement was given by way of a male voice that filtered into the earpiece, speaking directly to Tsuyu as he stepped into the light and out into the open realm for the exam to begin. As the brilliant flashes of the lights dimmed to allow the Hoshigaki to see the entirety of the area, he would find that there was a single platform that led up to a spherical floor. At least one hundred meters in circumference offered more than enough room to move around, walls of glass giving Tsuyu the chance to see a great deal of water that circled the outer rim of this arena of sorts. Piranha swam about and gnashed with vicious intent as they tapped against the protective glass frame. The circular platform also held what appeared to be seven mirrors that were spaced out equally.

Stepping closer, the Hoshigaki would discover that every mirror reflected his appearance perfectly. Golden rims outlined these wondrous mirrors. But before anything could occur, the male voice erupted through the earpiece once again. "For all intents and purposes, you can call me Omega. You want Chuunin? Earn it. I've read up on you. Impressive work. But you still have a long way to go before you can return and don a new title. So listen up - In front of you, there are seven mirrors. Each one of them leads you out from this arena and into a separate space. Don't ask how it works - consider it magic. Once you jump through, the entryway will close behind you. The ride is a bit nauseating, but I'll give you enough time to get through it. Once that's done, you'll face whatever I've got planned."

The mirrors suddenly began to ripple. Like crystal clear water, a single touch could cause the entire thing to shift at the point of contact. "When you touch it, you're going to be covered in the mirror's essence and transported. Once on the other side, I'll tell you more. Choose your mirror, and let's get this show on the road."

The Mirrors:

• Life
  
• Death
  
• Sleep
  
• Time
  
• Blood
  
• Soul
  
• Will
  

There was a choice to be made. Which would the Hoshigaki enter first?

[Mist]

Tsuyu entered a new room now. It seemed like something for the exam. Hearing a fish comment in his earpiece. How clever. like he hasnt heard that before really. He observed the new room. It was an area of perplexity. Walking closer to the platform taking in everything he saw. He looked at the mirrors with the golden rims. They looked nice but he wasnt very sure what was going on. Then the voice in his earpiece picked up.Explaining the situation to the blue skinned teen. He really didnt want to ask how the mirrors worked so it woulve never came up.

Watching the mirrors ripple like small ponds often do."So I just enter them huh? Does this mean I have to do this with every one of them or something else?" he thought. Not sure about this. but he had no choice. He might as well get this over with it. He placed his two kunai in his butt bag. He wasnt sure what he needed but he will figure it out after going through a mirror. Tsuyu then walked up to a mirror Looking at it intensely. He wasn't sure which one but he let his mind choose this one. Not having any doubts about going into nay other mirrors. Touching the mirror and feeling the essence he heard about. An odd feeling but the shark teen went through the mirror to start his test. The shark was gone as he entered the mirror of will.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The liquid began to cover Tsuyu's entire form, drawing him into the Mirror of Will and regurgitating him through the small portal that would lead out and into what appeared to be an island. Thrust down and into the sand for a gentle landing on his rear end, Tsuyu would find himself surrounded by night skies and a single campfire that burned a small twenty meters away. Three figures sat around it, though their details could not truly be made out. Small wooden shacks abounded in the distance, though all signs of life appeared to be null and void except for these three. There was no sense in attempting to escape by way of the sea. The waters that crashed onto the shore seemed to hold an excessive amount of strength, perhaps guided by some sort of technique that prevented true departure.

Smoke billowed into the air as the three patrons continued their talk, not even bothering to look up at the swirling portal that now closed as Tsuyu was brought through. No particular obstacles seemed to separate him from walking forward and meeting them.

"Looks like we have a live one this time..." one of the figures murmured. The other two nodded lightly.

The test of "Will" had begun.

[Mist]

The liquid covering the hoshigaki was a different kind of experience he has never had before. It felt similar to certain jutsu but still had a different feel to it. After he ewas covered he couldnt see much but found himself landing on something soft on his end. Not a truly comfortable way to land but it could've been worse. So this wasn't that bad at least. The shark boy proceeded to stand up. His legs feeling a little wobbly with a small lurching feeling in his stomach. Oh. The voice wasn't kidding about the feeling after moving to the different area. But the lurch and wobbliness soon faded. He was able to adjust to the portal-lag.

Alright first thing to do was to examine the area. This was an exam after all so he had to do the best he could. Seeing night skies and a simple campfire pretty close bye. He could see that three people were huddled around the fire. Weird even with his enhanced shark eyes and the fire he couldn't see the people properly. He looked around trying to understand his surroundings. Seeing the sand, the wooden shacks...the sea? Strong ocean current crashing against the shore. While his forte was water. These waves looked quite strong, perhaps too strong. Unsure where he was or how he got here.

but like the voice said earlier it was best not to ask. He only need to consider this all apart of the exam. And what about those three people? Were they apart of this as well? Participants? Examiners? Enemies? Should he dare go and try and ask them what to do? But what if they were enemies? Tapping his ear piece."Is this still apart of everything?" he asked. Not sure how to continue on. He decided he would have to bare this out in attempt to go further. Walking slowly towards them. If they were enemies he was probably spotted already but no motion was made yet.

He'll be on his guard as he went towards them. He didn't exactly even know what to say or ask."Excuse me I have a question. What is this place?" he decided to say in a medium teen male voice not high or low. He figured perhaps getting information of the situation could be good. No matter who the three people were. He will decide afterwards.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"This place is what we like to call the Island of Will Forgotten."

The words were spoken as three figures of old age looked up to take in Tsuyu's details. Garbed in gray cloth and generally harmless looking, they each gave a light nod and returned to looking at the fire before them. The first of the three appeared to possess crimson eyes that glowed with an almost other-worldly appearance. The second of the trio, eyes pure and milky white, seemed almost occupied in his observance of the immediate area. The third, whose crimson eyes seemed to possess three black tomoe within them, yawned and poked at the fire with a single stick. "We call it the Island of Will Forgotten because many forsake their morality in favor of their will. We're fully aware of who and what you are, Genin. The question is - do YOU know who and what you are." The answers were cryptic - no surprise from old men who seemingly had nothing better to do.

One of them, he whose eyes glowed ominously, pointed toward a small barrel that sat off to the side. "Sit down on the barrel, Tsuyu. We have a few questions for you. And when you answer, you will receive either our blessing or something far sinister. But in the end, it's you who decides whether you will live or whether you will die.." the milky-eyed geezer noted. Once Tsuyu would sit, the one who had not spoken yet would lift his stern gaze to the blue male. "Always remember - here, your will be done."

It was a simple concept.

"Call me Alpha", the white-eyed male said.

"Call me Beta", the glowing-eyed patron said.

"Call me Omega", the tomoe-eyed man said.

Omega sat back and thought for a moment, shifting a bit. "What if I told you that I could kill you where you sit, Tsuyu? Just what would you do?" There appeared to be no sudden alarm in Omega's voice as he spoke. No hostility or sudden movements. In fact, the only movement that prevailed was the crackle of the fire. Beta couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Oh, this must be boring for the lad.." he trailed off. Alpha looked at him and shook his head with an old coot's laughter. "He better consider himself lucky. After this, the Island of Will will take its place and do what it does best. Kek kek kek..."

Foreshadowing? Or merely an exercise to taste A Genin's wary notions. This Island seemed to be an illusion weaved and designed to interfere with the mind. Reality and imagery were meshing together. Soon enough, Tsuyu would find out why.

[Tieren]

Suddenly, above everything, a voice rang out, no matter where each participant was. It was the person who was in the main room and registered them for the exams.

"Attention, Participants. Hanabi of Mist committed suicide and has since been removed from the exams. Katsu Kazeraikou of Cloud has used his disk to remove himself from the exams. That is all."

And with that, silence came from over the intercom. It was clear that he made a point to let everyone know how the others were doing.

[Mist]

As he got closer he was able to see their details more. Older in age and dressed in cloths. He didn't get a menacing feel from the three. But still for now he will watch the three. One of the three seemed to have such quite luminescent red eyes. The other had white eyes and seemed somewhat distracted. The last one also had red eyes but seemed to have marking in them that the hoshigaki did not recognize. The last one poking the fire began to talk to the genin. Describing the island they were on. Even saying that the three know who he was calling 'genin'. The question threw him off by surprise not expecting such a vague question.

Did he know who he was? He knew his namesake for identity and his personality. He wasnt sure if he should answer. Tsuyu has gone through problems with his heritage before but he knew who he was now. He now knew what he was as a human being."I believe we all go through hardships. After going through some I would like to think I know myself." he said to answer the man. Another of the men looked at him pointing to an empty barrel asking for him to take a seat. The fact that they know who I am and are directing me. I have no choice but to assume they have some part of the chunin exams. They could be some sort of examiners. he thought as he sat down as directed. The man who asked him to sit said he would like to ask some questions followed by another line or so.Always remember that you are alone....The eerie line gave out by the man.

A name was given by the white eyed male as, Alpha. The man with the oddly shaped red eyes was calling himself Omega.. The man with the burning red eyes calling himself as Beta. Omega then asked what the boy would do if Omega could kill him where he sat. He eyes opened a little as he didnt expect this.. The man, Omega, did not give any motions or didnt seem to have the intentions to do so. Tsuyu remembered that earlier he was told how he answered questions judged how he would fare on this island. He didnt personally liked the question as Alpha began to speak. The shark boy wasnt entirely sure what Alpha meant either.

Suddenly a voice rang through the area. An announcement. Describing the suicide and resignation of a participant. While he didnt care for the one who just resigned. The one who commuted suicide was a member of his village. Now he alone from kirigakure was taking the test."To answer you. I dont mean any disrespect but I wouldn't accept it. I will not accept the death so easily. I would fight to live. That announcement just described the death of a villager of mine. I have to live through this exam. Not only for me. But also my fellow comrade. I will fight back with every strength of myself to live. I dont mean to be selfish but that is how I see it. i need to continue in order to show myself I can continue forward in life If I try." he said feeling strongly about it. It was said that Hanabi was gone. However he couldn't let this discourage him now!

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

Omega simply laughed as Tsuyu spoke. "Interesting that you say such a thing. If it is your will to prove that you belong, then so be it. You will live for yourself....and you will live for the fallen. Such an interesting turn of events this appears to be. Let your will be done, Tsuyu Hoshigaki."

It was settled. The world around Tsuyu would begin to shift, and all that he had known would slowly morph back into the room that held the mirrors in which he had the choice to go through. But strangely enough, every mirror no longer held the essence of transportation. Instead, there was only a looming swathe of shadows that emanated from each one of them. For a long while, the sound of chanting could be heard. Each manifestation of the mirrors would begin to bring forth a small shadow that loomed in the center of the room. Before long, it began to take the form of a living being. Standing at a familiar height and possessing no particular defining traits, the being slowly grew appendages and began to stumble forward as if trying to gain control of its body.

"Tsu....yu..." the voice called out. An eerie sense of familiarity was beginning to grow. The mirrors suddenly shattered, and the shards of broken glass would begin to fly toward the shadow. The pieces lined the body much like an armor of sorts. And just for a moment, Tsuyu would see Alpha, Omega, and Beta hovering in the distance. Omega stretched forth a hand, and a small illusion of Tsuyu's words would begin to manifest. They circled the being, and immediately were embedded onto its chest. Like glowing kanji, the being was brought to life by way of her words. Eyes snapped open and revealed the eyes of a Kyoudo.

".......I am the death of the village. I am the failure of a Genin's dream. And now, I will show you the face of your ambition's impurities. I will be your opponent..."

Tsuyu stood face to face.......with Hanabi.

[Mist]

(I do apologize for my lateness as thing in life came up. I will be more prompt from now on)

The man laughed after the hoshigaki spoke his honest words. He was being serious and then these laughs came up.However the laughing man Omega spoke up saying that what the shark teen had said was interesting to him. his will that he belongs. Living for himself and hanabi. Was he basically just rephrasing the sharks words. Lastly he that his will shall be done. What will be done exactly? However the answer to the teens lingering questionable thoughts were soon coming to pass. The world around them soon began to change. The word he was transported into was going away.

The beach world distorting infront of Tsuyu's very eyes. He watched as the beach, the ocean, shacks the fire and the few man all melt away. He stood up quickly being alert to this. " I dont know whats going on. But is this part of the test? I need to be careful" he thought as he looked around. Bracing himself readying to analyze anything new that occurred. The only thing new that happened was that he returned the room he was in before, the mirror room. What? Why? He looked around the room. He noticed that the mirros were different quickly. The mirrors that were once portals to different tests. They were now just blank slates.

It seemed like he couldnt go through them again. He was somewhat relived. He was hoping he wouldnt have to go through all of those mirros for his chunin exam. However something was different in the mirrors now. A small darkness of a shadow. He looked around to see what was causing the mirrors to reflect such a thing. Spotting some odd occurrence in the middle of the room he had never seen before. Whatever it was it was growing limbs, a body Beginning to make in its new form. A voice that range out his name slowly.

He formed a few handseals the held his hand out. The air turning pink as a form began to begin to create as if seemingly from nothing. The boy now holding in his right hand a pink crystal katana. He needed to be careful as this was an exam after all. He took careful watch of the thing before him. He heard a cracking sound as all the mirrors behind him shattered.. Taking a glance he saw the glass of the mirrors breaking apart and watched as they flew toward the figure. As if some sort of puzzle trying to complete an entire picture. What was truly odd was that within the figure he could see the three men from the beach within. The words to Tsuyus answer appearing before them, somehow filling inside of the figure. As if those words were fuel it began to move functionally now.


He did not know what this was going to be so he had to prepare. Taking on a familiar shape, the shape of somebody he saw in the chunin exam lobby. The figure speaking oddly yet the blue teen understood every word. As he saw Hanabi stand before him. Hanabi is supposed to be dead. The announcement declared that. Was the announcement lying then."You shouldnt be here. The announcement said you died. Was that announcement lying? " he said as he posutre moved to prepare himself for surprises."What did you mean my ambitions impurities. What does any of this have to do with battling yoiu?" he asked. Staring at hanabi he held and continued his grip of the crystal katana within his right hand. He didnt know how this was going to play out. "Id rather not fight a fellow villager. We have no reason to." he said to hanabi. Hopefully things wont be getting out of control.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

[Unfortunately, there is no record of what Hanabi used to have, so this prospect of a battle is not something that can happen.]

The being before Tsuyu, calling itself Hanabi. "It is what has been deemed to happen. I could not continue with these exams, and so now I must test the other who comes from my village. Your sword will not help you, Tsuyu. For I am already dead." It said, now stepping closer toward the shark.

A kunai was pulled from a pouch to the side and then stabbed into the chest of the being. "No pain felt, and no wounds to be made. Your continuation in these exams is pointless. Give up, Go home. You have a village there to take care of, and someone waiting for you. Don't let yourself die in these exams like I have. For I have little time left to control my own body. Soon, I will have to strike. Soon... I won't have a choice."

It was hard to hear, but the voice was right. Tsuyu had obligations to attend to. Fighting a being that could not be stopped by conventional methods was asking for death. Now the nearly soulless body was about to strike. It only hoped that Tsuyu would heed its words and leave while he still had the chance.

[Mist]

Whatever stood before him looked just like Hanabi. The hoshigaki teen wasnt exactly sure what to believe. It had to be some sort of trick caused by those mirrors. It had to be.....right? He listened as the hanabi being spoke to him. is is what it was deemed to be? and because hanabi couldnt finish the test he has to test Tsuyu? the shark boy tried his best to interpret the words spoken by the spirit like being that stood before him. But then the hanabi before him spoke that the sword that he held wasnt able to hurt her because she is already dead. Say what? She kept talking like she is the real Hanabi.

Was he really supposed to believe this is her? Hanabi taking a few steps closer to him. The grip on his crystalline sword getting stronger. Only for her to take a kunai out of his pouch and place it within her chest. His eyes widening to the sight of this. No pain or wounds indeed from the looks of it. Not even a single droplet of blood from the spot the kunai wen into. Hanabi asked Tsuyu to give up the exams and go home back to kirigakure. For the villager was there he needed to be in and even said she said somebody waiting for him. Somebody waiting? like who? A few faces came to mind. His mother, team mates, his romantic interest.

But theres no way Hanabi could know this. But what exactly did Hanabi want? She said she was going to test him. Does that mean that she wanted to fight him? He looked at her chest with the kunai inside of it. If she wanted a fight, how could he possibly fight or beat a being that feels nothing? There probably wasnt. Her looked at her face and saw the same face from the exam lobby room. A person that seemed to want to pass the exam. Why? Why did you do suicide then? Quitting at this moment. Quitting on not only the exam but your life as well. She wanted him to quit to. Seeing his village and friends would be nice.

But to do that he would have to....

he would have to....

QUIT!!

He looked at hanabi with a serious face. and took the kunai out from her chest with his left hand keeping the right hand on his sword."Im sorry Hanabi. I cant quite quit. I dont know why. You quit your exam. However....because there are people waiting for me..." taking a slight pause reflecting on himself."Because there are people waiting for me I dont want to quit.. Not just yet. I need to see what I can do. If I truly am not ready I will use the disk. I need to get further. So I can make those waiting for me proud. Not only that but I want to make you proud as well.." he said looking at her."By passing this test not only am I passing the test for me but for you as well. I want you to rest peacefully knowing that I can return to the village after knowing my limits." said the hoshigaki with a sound conviction.

He placed back the kunai in the bag and took a few steps away from Hanabi. He wasnt sure if he had to fight her. Or if something else was going to happen. But now. Now he felt like this is what he need to pump himself up with motivation. New motivation that he didnt have before the exam.

[Tieren]

Just then, over the intercom, the voice of the main examiner spoke out once more.

"Attention participants. Axel Inuzuka of Waterfall, Rosalie Salt of Waterfall, and Raika Hebiarashi of Cloud have all forfeited their exam. Umei Maki of Sound has committed suicide. And..."

But before the thought could be finished, the sound of an explosion was heard.

"What are you doing?! You are contaminating my experiments!" Yelled the registrar. But what followed next was the sound of flames and his screams as he was burned alive. Silence followed the screams for a short time before everything around each and every participant disappeared, leaving them in darkness.

"We wondered where you had all been directed. My name is Mai Turino, and I am the actual Chuunin Exam Proctor. For those who are still here, my sincerest apologies for the miscommunication. The Land of Frost was not the destination of the exams, and when no one arrived, we knew something was wrong. Bear with me one moment, and I'll bring you back to the main room." Said a woman's voice.

A few silent moments passed before the darkness turned to light, and everyone found themselves in the main room, without the items given to them at the start of the exam, and completely unharmed.

[You may now post your exit here and your entrance into the registration room again. IIC enabled. 3 days until I make my next post, or until everyone has posted. Examiners, you have your PMs that I should be getting back from you. Time to move the exams to the next stage.]
