Sakana ignored Usagi's question about who people like them were - the answer was too obvious, and he never believed they were similar at all. In fact, for all their similarities, they seemed to be miles apart to the trained eye, someone who actually listened rather than assumed as was so often part of the shinobi way. Her last question, similarly, went unanswered, but this time it was because the man they were all waiting for had spoken up. His description of the event was, as expected, not wholly descriptive of what they'd actually be doing. It could be a puzzle or it could be combat. As far as Sakana was concerned the options were wide open. The hokage also spoke of teams, which was somewhat more interesting. One quick glance around indicated, to Sakana, that there was not any specific team he wanted to be a part of. When the hokage had finally finished, Sakana seemed not to have moved his eyes at all, simply staring ahead still. Only then did he answer her question.

[i]“My motivation?...”[/i] he slowly started. [i]“... I want to see where fate takes me. What the Sage determined for me at birth. I want to claim my birthright, whatever it may be.”[/i] It was in that moment that he moved, turning his body sideways towards Usagi. [i]“We should go for the fire affinity. Regardless of your allegiance, the fire affinity resembles Konohagakures' Will of Fire.”[/i] [b]It was fate,[/b] he thought. It must've been the affinity of fire. For some reason he felt drawn to it, despite an eerie feeling that the affinity of fire might just be the hardest one to retrieve, for him personally at any rate. He took a single step to move towards the area where he intended to wait to see if others were interested in joining them, but then stopped. [i]“We should try and take another scroll so we finish with two scrolls. Fire first.. and if we have time, a second scroll.”[/i] He was operating entirely under the assumption that she would stick with him, but perhaps that was fate too. However, the plan of taking a scroll was smart - even if it was somewhat mean to the other teams. Minimizing the competition early on by secluding two teams, rather than just one team, would maximize their chances of winning even more. 

It seemed like Sakana was willing to go over the backs of others if he needed to - or, more like, if he felt like it. Sometimes it'd almost feel like he was operating entirely on instinct. 

He shot the woman a curious glance, before stating rather abruptly and straight-forwardly so, [i]“unless you intended to not join a team and join the knuckle-head idiots that are skipping the first part of the test.”[/i] It was now that his somewhat rude personality came forwards, as he had no problem with swearing or cussing to get his points across. Why waste time coming up with friendly ways to say 'idiot' if you could just say idiot. Before she could answer he already moved on, secluding himself while waiting for any other potential candidates that wanted to enter the team. Rather than wait for the rest of the team and vote on the affinity, he had made up his mind already, and after producing a pen from his pocket, he wrote the kanji for fire on the scroll in his hands, before putting the pen away and closing the scroll again. There was no going back now. Not that he'd want to.
