It was almost as if he was flying through the winds as usual, but this time he had no control over his movements and they were not as precise as he usually was. Oh yeah it was all making sense to him, this is what falling feels like. His mind had drifted into the clouds trying to compare the ocular appearance of the purple haired girl to that of the soft clouds above him. He was quite fond of clouds always wanting to reach out and sleep on one, but the closer he got to them the more difficulty he had breathing. Anyways Shizuka snapped backed into reality as he was dangerously close to the interesting girl and saw her cheeks shine red that was odd he hadn’t seen such a color in his cheeks before. Anyways she had a vice like grip on his signature red threads which must have been why he was falling. Maybe she had tripped on something and that’s why she held onto him, whatever it was Shizuka thought quickly as he calmly let out a current of air from his palms propping him up, but from anyone else it appeared as they were both fighting to find balance. Shizuka was uncannily calm in tight situations like this, if he hadn’t been he probably would have fallen into her and smothered her to death or grabbed onto some weird anime trope like position. Before she could fall into him she leapt back and regained her footing, but Shizuka was more worried about patting down his track suit and getting any dirt or debris off himself. Shizuka began to walk towards her again getting closer but not as close as before. [color=39b54a]“Did you trip on something? I would have caught you know. And why does your face do that?”[/color] he pointed, despite his parents telling him how rude it was. [color=39b54a]“They turn red and then go back to normal. Can you teach me how to do it?”[/color] Shizuka pushed up on his cheeks hoping they would turn read to no avail. [color=39b54a]“Oh I didn’t think you were deaf but that’s good to know, I’m Shizuka Ichimi! Nice to meet you cloudy eyes, I like cloud they’re my favorite, I could look at them all day.”[/color] Shizuka said with a kind smile and his hand stretched out, Shizuka didn’t know the weight of his words, but he only meant to compliment the girl instead of insult her depending on how it was received. [color=39b54a]“Oh that’s so cool! But how do you see? I can feel the wind so maybe I can wear a mask too and we can go around fighting crime.”[/color] Shizuka’s childish amusement pouring out of his body. [color=39b54a]“Oh so you’re a blind ninja! That’s way cooler, well that just means we’ll have to help each other out more.”[/color] Giving her a thumbs up. Shizuka was about to talk about their final member but Kurin had interjected so his mouth was just left agape. Shizuka loosely followed whatever the stick boy said as he always seemed so uptight and rigid, not like Shizuka had gone with the flow of life like a cool breeze. Almost like a ninken some ninja’s used to track, Shizuka caught the scent of the other ninja that would be recruited to their team as the Senju pointed him out. Without a word Shizuku once again tore at Kurin’s arm lifting him and with the other arm took Kiku’s hand into his, embarking on their short trip to their final member.

It appeared as though they had gone off in attempts to pair each other off. Social interaction was good and the intermingling with the ninja from Iwagakure also served as a culture shock to most of the leafs ninja who hadn’t gone past the borders of the Land of Fire. Breaking the mold of what they had perceived other nations to be like was good for breaking any biased or xenophobia any of the young impressionable ninja had, whether it was nurture or nature. A few minutes passed by the Hokage had grown content watching teams finally begin to form and decided on which scroll they would uphold. Clearing his throat once more he interrupted the young Shinobi to speak one more. [color=E54515]“I can see that some of you have completed the prerequisites of continuing onto the next portion of examination and I commend you for that. While the others lag slightly behind I’d like to inform you a new scroll will be administered since there are more teams then there were scrolls. The last scroll will be that of Yin and Yang.”[/color] Ginsho looking around to see the reactions set in. To his surprise the only reaction he would receive is his own, before he could even continue a team had already taken on the mantle of the new scroll. Ginsho chuckling at the spirit that had been kindled in each and every one of these ninja, took a step back and continued. [color=E54515]“I will now leave the rest up to my lovely assistant here, he will be your guide and carefully watch over each group, as will I but from the booth as I see to my guest and your peers. I do bid you young ninja good luck and may the best group win. And for those of you who are choosing to fight instead, remember if you’re not first you’re last.”[/color] Ginsho turned and walked away from the students before a gust of wind came by and he disappeared into a cluster of leaves. Shinko bowed and walked towards the ninja before appearing within the center of each adjacent team. Several hand seals later Shinko slapped the ground releasing a plume of smoke before standing. He waved to each of the ninjas before fading away himself. Quite the mysterious and cryptic fellow, most likely filling the young ninja’s with questions. Before they could resume their conversations the ground began to glow underneath the feet of each ninja. A myriad of circles appeared underfoot in a selection of colors with kanji etched below them with the Kanji of their respective choices. The light was blinding before it vanished, with it the location of where the Shinobi once stood. With the vision returning to the young ninja they would soon discover they were in a small white room, there were no windows only 6 walls all around with a slit in the wall in front of them that appeared to be an exit. Unable to properly evaluate and anticipate their location the ninja would have to quickly find their bearings in unfamiliar territory. A subtly pleasant music note played within the box before a familiar voice echoed around the room. [color=E54515]”This is the Hokage if you hadn’t already put that together. You’ve been transported to a far off land you have never heard of or visited, here you and only the several other ninja you recruited will participate in this stage of which scroll you selected. The test immediately begins when you remove the paper seal on the door associated with the chakra nature you chose. If you fail the exam you will lose points and have a smaller chance of becoming a jonin. Do not worry about the other teams as they are in identical rooms, but on different islands so there is no chance of crossing paths. Good luck to you all and [i]Audaces fortuna favent[/i].”[/color] Ginsho’s voice quickly fading. Ginsho had appeared outside the doors of the spectator’s club section for the games. Everything up until this point was going grand, aside from the itching feeling he got from a weary presence he felt out on the stage. It was probably just his phantom pain acting up again, he needed to get a better handle on that. One of his genin had informed of the arrival of Lady Kaguya, Ginsho was familiar with her and yet always strove to please her and let it be known there was a long standing peace and opportune alliance to be gained from the two. Ginsho prepping a smile pushed the doors open with his one arm and entered the room regal with grace. His eyes quickly adapted to the light allowing him to see the elegance and prim demeanor that Kaguya wore so flawlessly. A simple bending of the knee and kissing of the hand would surely begin things off on the right foot. That was until he saw [i]him[/i] Ginsho’s other arm screamed and seared in pain as he made eye contact with what seemed to be a ghost of his past returned to haunt him. Without showing any sign of weakness whatsoever as he was conditioned to he stabbed himself with chakra to ease his pain. Ginsho felt the familiar sense of uneasiness he felt outside, but was it the same? No they were two distinct feelings, the first one however seemed more trying. Returning to his prior engagement Ginsho strode across the room, [color=E54515]“Ah if it isn’t Yogensha Kaguya in all of her beauty and elegance. I am nothing but unworthy of your presence and presence here today. I hope all is well and we can continue our discussions for an Alliance and expanding Amegakure. May I?”[/color] Ginsho said as he bowed and then kneeling down with his arm stretched out in order to receive her hand.
