Lively Lake

[Molokai]

Guess their third teammate wasn't showing up. Not like they really needed whomever it was, anyway. The still-nameless Sand ninja seemed strong enough, and Toru was confident in his ability to handle himself fearlessly. Well, mostly fearless. Being on team Fire meant going to Fire country and retrieving the Fire stone, which didn't necessarily rule out the idea that he would have to somehow deal with fire to do that. His paper could barely block fire, and even then he'd probably have to sacrifice very many sheets just to stay alive. If push came to shove, he would have to hide underground to get away from any flames that might have his flesh in mind.

Despite the slight trepidation, he understood the necessity of proceeding quickly so that he could show the examiners that he was swift and skilled. Similarly, it wasn't possible to pass without getting that stone, so he didn't really have a choice but to go. Picking up the scroll and turning again to his nameless teammate, he said, "We should get going. Fire country is just across a bridge from here." Walking away, he didn't look back to check if his ally was coming. If the nameless one wanted to pass these exams, he would follow of his own accord.

Watching the examiners put on yet another show, I kept the important information inside my mind as I blocked out the rest. The descriptions were familar, knowledge that a shinobi should know although the ancient words might baffle some. I turned to my third teammate, Kaeor, as I nodded in response to his questions, speaking once more, "To the Water Country." With that, I awaited any further instructions before being told to leave and set on this tedious journey.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Why wait? At least there were going somewhere she knew. "Let's go guys. Last one to Kaminari has to carry the stone." Her sense of adventure and spirit had returned now that she actually had something to do. Why hadn't the others left yet? With a shrug the kunoichi would head out. She would be back in her element at last.

[Kyogi]

Harsh words from a harsh person. He let out a light sigh as he learned the person’s name… The wind country huh? It was hot there but then again he had only ever been in sound and lightning so he was sort of up to exploring new territory. Maybe if they went into the sand village he’d be able to make a new alliance for the sound village. As long as the team passed they would be onto the next stage of the third exam. Comm devices. He had always thought of buying one but he was never on a true team so he had never got around to purchasing one. ”No comm. Device got an extra?” He didn’t have much to say the faster they got out of here the faster they’d succeed in this next mission of the chuunin exams.

[gaaraofthesand]

The task had been officially laid out in a rather unprofessional matter, but regardless, it had been laid out all the same. My eroding feeling of disdain had suddenly vanished as the objective had been assigned. A few members in our team would begin to ramble on with introductions as the opposing prevalent teams would attempt to exfoliate the hidden location of the scrolls that had been appropriately assigned to them. I would not succumb to the disconsolate feelings of a loss after carrying myself this far. Removing my hand from their concealed position, I would raise my hands in front of my face extended outwards in between the gathered team. I would boisterously snap my fingers, incredulously loud, accumulating their attention as I needed. I was in a cranky mood, I was driven, I was in serous mode: I intended to win. However it came across, I didn't give a shit.

Activating my Sight of Chakra Nature, I would analyze the players we had been given. Based on this brief description, I would group them according to my judgment.

"Listen up, I have no intention of losing this god forsaken task, so let's get effin' to it. I may be rather abrasive, but I could careless. None of us are acquainted, some of us may be hostile to one other based on our origin of birthplace and how we were brought up to think of one another. Let me tell you right here, give it up. We are teammates until the end of these bloody Exams, and we will remain that way until we fulfill what we ALL set out to do. As soon as we achieve what we came out here for, we can return back to our cutthroat perception we have of one another, but until then... we stick together. We all have a compulsive need to win, so that takes precedence over our feelings. I do not want to usurp anyone's plans or step on someones authority, but I am hereby taking the reigns of this 'operation', if you disagree... too bad. In my defense, I feel I am most qualified, so trust me and trust each other."

I would waste no time, pushing forth ideas in articulacy. In my short speech, I had gathered enough information for my strategy.

"We will be divided up based on proportionate levels of defense into teams of two. Jiro, based on the fact that you have no Release skills, I am going to make the assumption that you have some form of skills in the arts of TaiJutsu. You will accompany Solus as a pair. You will take the front form of combat as Solus offends in the back. Kyogi and I will remain as a pair for reasons that will be discussed at a later time. If you have any talents outside of Release's please let us know now, or forever hold your peace. As of this moment, these are the teams that will remain until we succeed and pass. We have little to no time to waste, so let's keep this portion of our meeting brief and let's book."

I would wait impatiently, tapping my feet to the symphony of tactics and strategies racing through my head. My digits would flicker back in forth in haste as I wanted to proceed. I would wait for my companions to respond, but proceeding there words of rebuttal, I would clap my hands in excitement.

"LET'S GO!

As soon as their words would be completely expelled from their mouths and the speaking came to its conclusion, I would jet, waving on my com-padres to follow.

Follow meeee!

[Miku]

Hm, this doesn't seem too bad of a round...there must be a challenge at the actual building then, perhaps. Analytical as always, the clever kunoichi tried to asses the situation as best as possible, however the task at hand was a bit harder to do given the little bit information they were told. She could only wonder as she left behind the other female ninja on her team, readying herself to travel to the place. Exit - Miku

[Kvasir]

I'd turn again to watch the speakers speak about the events that would follow. Find stone, bring it back. Easy right? "Let's go guys. Last one to Kaminari has to carry the stone." I'd watch as Ayame would leave the area. "Hey! *Arf!* We haven't even said hello to the ne-!" I'd turn back to find that Miku was already gone, having not even replied to my hello. I'd begin to walk away from the area and towards our next goal, quietly muttering to myself in my own mock upsettedness before setting off in a run. "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I'll go eat worms..."

[exit]

[Solus]

Solus had intended to take the lead himself, but the Hyuuga seemed to blatantly take it. Maybe it was better this way, this guy wasn't stupid like this Kyogi and he bore no grudge to the Jiro guy as Solus did. Getting up the Genmaster would raise his voice. "I don't have an extra comm device, hopefully your new friend here has one, or we have to redistribute them, to make sure that each team has one. As far as for you taking the the lead... Meh whatever... Ho! We're leaving!" The raven would come sailing down and perch on Solus's shoulder. WIth his usual confident stride he would leave the immediate area.

[/blockquote]

[Exit!]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

With everything done Kaeor couldn't wait any longer. His eyes would turn to his other new teammates as he decided it was time to head out. "Aizen. Saiyuki. Lets go!" he finished before he left the scene after picking up the scroll with directions to go continue upon their mission.

[DeeDub]

With the rousing speech and commandeering of the leader role. Jiro pondered how he was able to tell he had no release ability. "His eyes did look weird" He thought following behind the Two Leaf Ninja as he headed away from the lake and back into the country.

[exit]

[Kyogi]

Kyogi yawned as he heard the speeches. He wasn't intending on being a leader he was a medic support. Without much of an offense he would follow close and be prepared to help but not a leader. It was time to move out. So he followed the group.

/exit

[Raiel Kaguya]

Raiel was still there, not ready to leave these exams just yet. She listened as everything was explained and the teams were set in stone. She kept in mind who her teammates were, the names being said by the apparent one in charge. Toru and Ioshi were her teammates, names that she had never yet heard before. Regardless of that fact, she looked around, hoping to figure this out as she kept her ears open. Plenty of talking was being done at the moment, making it more difficult for her to listen for a possible introduction from one of them.

While she did not hear that, she did look toward the one who had spoken as she mentioned her team, the one of fire, and had thrown a scroll in the direction of the other two. She quickly made her way over to them, apparently not having been seen by the mist ninja, as she would follow him out of the area, hoping to get this over with as quickly as possible. Raiel watched as the man picked up the scroll, hoping that he wouldn't lose it, continuing to follow him.

[Exit]

[torankoku]

upon no words that was said from the examiner, and the words from my new teammate was spoken, I nodded, throwing up my hood, I left the area with my goal in my mind.

[exit]

[Saiyuki]

I would silently listen to the words that elaborated on what our next exam was to be like. It was quite interesting and seemed to suit a chuunin exam. Nodding to my two teammates, I set off with the rest of Team Water. This could prove to be quite amusing.

[Exit]

[👺 Usiel]

EDIT the colors of the stones. It does not affect any of you. It just makes me feel better and consistent. Thank you.
