One by one ninja’s from Konoha’s backyard to Iwagakure’s rocky falls came bustling through the gates of the exams. Ginsho kept a careful eye on everyone who came in. Each ninja seemed to gravitate and acclimate to their own surroundings, whatever suited them better. There was the brooding type who seemed weary of others and wanted to stay hidden like a recluse, while others seemed just happy to be there and compete, and then of course there were the…well less savory ninja who had blatant disregard for others and their image. Oh and then of course in a league of his own was the young Shizuka who seemed to entertain himself all the same. However, Ginsho felt a disturbance in the force and could feel a slight, very minor eerie feeling intoxicating the area. Where the precise location was coming from was unbeknownst to him, but his connection with Shinko was strong he confirmed with his right hand without gesturing so much as a look to each other. Regardless Ginsho would take the necessary precautions to keep the village and his people safe, even the people that had traveled miles to get here. Ginsho propped up his patented smile and cleared his throat before bellowing out his voice which resonated throughout the stands like an oppressive force. The ninja would soon stop their babbling amongst one another if not immediately as that surge of chakra flowed through the arena. “Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I welcome you to the first ever Jonin Exams. I’m glad to see such new and young faces who will be the bearers and torch runners for the next generation of Shinobi. I’m sure all of you have traveled far some only a few feet, but all have something to prove. Whether it is to yourself or to people who admire or despise you. I know some of you feel alone and think this is just a shallow appearance of savagery amongst children. You wouldn’t be wrong necessarily, but it is necessary in order to protect the ones we love and care about even if you think there are none.” Ginsho said as he surveyed the new ninja class while making eye contact with each and every one of them as his heroic and aggressive spirit shot into their eyes like a window to their soul. “And of course there are some of you born with gifts and those of you have not. In any case each and every one of you is special in your own way and can be celebrated for the blood, sweat, and tears you have poured into yourself. Let us hope it shines through today.” Ginsho filled his stomach with oxygen before continuing. “Now I will move onto the first of two exams you will see today. The second will only be revealed after you have or have not passed the first test.” Ginsho snapped his fingers as 5 large scrolls appeared hovering behind him, each with a different word etched on the front. Not only did scrolls appear at the front of the stage, but one appeared in each and every participants hand save for that fact they were all blank. “The first exam you will be tasked with the following. Behind me are 5 scrolls that each represent a chakra nature. Earth (Doton), Wind (Futon), Fire (Katon), Water (Suiton), and Lightning (Raiton). You all will assimilate yourselves into 6 teams of whomever and whoever you choose, but there shall be no man left out. Once you have all chosen your teams you will than choose which affinity you want to pursue.” Ginsho began to stride back and forth. “Upon choosing the affinity you wish to purse you will transcribe it into your scroll and it will be relayed to me. Do not worry the other teams will not know of your choice unless they somehow manage to use resources of their own to find out.” Ginsho laughed before continuing. “After your choice I will personally take you all to the stage in which you and your team chose and will combine your efforts to retrieve the scroll of the affinity you chose. Be wary the affinity in which your objective lies will not be easy to recover. Now there are only 5 scrolls and 6 teams so one team will be disqualified if they are unable to recover a scroll. The rest of the teams who complete their objective and acquire the scroll will pass and move onto the second exam with a surplus of points. The losing team will have to disband and fight amongst themselves in order to move on. Now if there are any ninja who are not team players, you have the option of skipping the first exam and proceed to fight with whomever does not participate alongside you. And you cannot move onto the next stage without emerging victorious.” Ginsho watched over the crowd taking in any reactions he saw from the ninja in front of him as his words reached their ears. “Now if you have any questions you may ask them now, if not the exam has begun, pick your allies and the scroll that will decide your fate.” Ginsho turned around heading back to the side of his comrade, before quickly turning back momentarily. “Oh and by the way good luck I’m counting on all of you” as his boisterous laughter filled the air and once again shook the stadium.
