A call to action is sent out all over the land and to each and every village. The Land of Fire is holding the Annual Chunin Exams. Many applications were sent out to each head of the village and it is their decision who qualifies and who has to wait another year. This year the exams will only be a small batch of ninja but that does not mean the test will be any easier. If you feel that you are powerful enough to be called Chunin, then come and prove yourself. The Exam begins in 5 days. Hope to see you then.

Hikaru received her application as she read it over. "Look at this Saki. We have a chance to show off our true power with other village's ninjas." She said as Saki barked happily. "I know we got this in the bag." She said as she placed her application in a safe place and headed out towards her training area. She knew that if she was going to make a good impact on the exam that she needed to train as fast as she could.

Sanjiro was sitting in the window seal in his apartment reading over the application. He knew this was going to be extremely difficult. He knew that him only having Taijustsu would already make him at a disadvantage but he did not care at all. He knew this would be his only chance to see if he had what it takes to be a great shinobi even if no one else had any faith in him. Even his squad leader said he should not apply but he still did. He grabbed his bag of clothes and headed towards the entrance of the village to start his trek to the Land of Fire.

Nakamura grabbed his puppet making sure he wrapped it up as best as he could. He did not want anyone to know his ability until the moment of his attack. He knew having the element of surprise would be the best thing he could do in order to have an advantage in this exams. He also packed up enough food and water for the trip to the Land of Fire. Everyone in his squad was too chicken to take the exam. They kept saying since the land of Stone and the Land of Fire were not on good terms that they would not even get promoted because of the hatred between the clans. He knew that was a lie and decided he would prove to them that he had what it takes to become a Chunin. He was not really the leader type, but he knew with the right training he would one day work for the black opps of his village. He grabbed his gear and headed out towards the Land of Fire.
