Sakana had a certain natural leadership that bothered Usagi slightly. She felt, right now, as if she was lagging behind the team, being the only one who made no suggestions or took no actions. Thing is, she was way too patient for that - while others rushed into action and tried things that worked very little, Usagi was a thinker - she was trying to take things in consideration before making a move. Except, it didn't work - it didn't taker her anywhere. And that was all because the rest of the team was too eager to prove themselves and become full pledged jounin. She could understand; look at Sakana, for example - the youngest of them all. How cool it would be to be a jounin at his age? 

His natural arrogance was also a threat to Usagi's opinion. Any... word that came out wrong could ignite a heated discussion, so indeed Usagi's silence was for the best. That same arrogance was shared with Tsukiko - now, that one was a bit different. She had such a strange presence, unnerving even. Something about her screamed...

Things happened in the blink of an eye. Sakana was holding the scroll - and seemed to wince in pain, holding a hand against his head. There was no sign of actual burning, but Usagi could quickly comprehend what was happening; the fire was unnatural, so of course, it highly likely attacked in an unnatural manner, destroying Sakana's inside. Sakana tried to get rid of the pain by releasing chakra with the Kai seal - Usagi wasn't sure if that would work. Either way, Sakana seemed disappointed with the test, given his new few words. Once again, Usagi remained quiet. No reason to retort even though she disagreed completely - the thing is, they rushed into things. They didn't think it over, didn't wait, observe - a jounin wouldn't ever do that. More than a leader, a jounin is a high ranked [b]shinobi[/b].

The flamekeeper spoke once again - not before ridiculously choking on the grapes he so daringly ate in front of them. How further pathetic could the scene get? Well, his words were venom that poisoned Usagi's ears. She was [b]angered[/b], and that was something rare for the peaceful rabbit. The fact is, this so called test was a complete joke - it wasn't an experience, it wasn't a true test of character and skill, it was merely.. a joke. One that Sakana played along and got rewarded. A deep breath after, Usagi calmed herself, even though her brows remained furrowed and her expression of clear distaste.

Balls of steel and courage will never be enough to face the dangers of the shinobi world. That is a fact - it is written in any scroll of the stories of old. In any book. If Usagi was to become a jounin for an arrogant child's ignorant moves, then she wasn't becoming a jounin.

If someone were to look at Usagi right now, she was glaring at Sakana. But that dropped off quickly - just as quickly as she began walking towards the newly open door. Inside her mind, she was praying that there would be more tests than this joke.
