As Nousagi left with a little speech, he approached the boy. "Match over, put down the kunai." Still, the knife was pointed forward, at nothing in particular. "Drop the knife kid." And it held forward. Walking to the boy, the proctor waved his hand in front of his face. No reaction. He pressed down against the raised arm, but Kaito resisted. "How!? He's out cold? I guess there's a definite winner then. I guess its up to me to tell the Hyuga kid." After calling for a medic-nin, he ran into the backroom, finding the heir and the branch member. "Well, it seems we have a winner. Chosokabe is out cold. (OOC note: While might be pissed at fight, I respect a draw. Respect it enough to give you a win for it.) --------------- [center][h3][color=bc8dbf]Ai Kabe - Hidden Stone[/color][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/SqUjZ1K.png[/img] [/center] Ai fumed as the beast disappeared. [color=bc8dbf]"Raiju needed more a lesson. Whatever my rank, being a Miko as well as a ninja, it was my prerogative to teach him it!"[/color] Ai squeaked a rock fell by her, reminding her of the situation. It was time to get out of there. Ai first gathered her tags on the Raijin that were left. Another rock fell by her, making her groan. [color=bc8dbf]"Come on. Not like a little rocks going to stop me. I've got too many things to see! Like, I want to explore the forest! These tags are way too annoying to remake." [/color] Finally grabbing the last one, she exploded into a blaze of papers, exiting the building and heading out with her team towards the forest of death. As they made it there, the storm of papers spoke, forming a mouth against the paper. [color=bc8dbf]"Good job everyone. Couldn't have done it without you. I'm glad I had you all for this."[/color] They finally made it to the instruction site. Listening to the broadcast, Ai nodded furiously. It seemed the next part was really just fighting. That was rather boring. Ai just wanted to explore the forest. Ai looked at the scroll and shrugged. She walked behind Ayame, putting her hand around her shoulder from behind. She lightly tapped her on the hip with the other. [color=bc8dbf]"Well, I suppose those I should thank those Kouken barriers of yours. Hey, Ayame, I know you're older than me, but would you mind if I just shared a thought? If you make it to the exit quickly, you can catch a slow poke. Just get their fast as you can. I'm heading off. Man, I've been bossy today. And I'm the young one! Oh well, I'll buy ya dinner or something here. Really, I couldn't have done it without you. Now, time to enjoy myself."[/color] With a smile, Ai gave the strangest movement of passing her fingers in a V over her eyes. In an explosion, she exploded into paper again. Ai was almost out of chakra, but she didn't want to give that impression to those around her. 'sides, she only had one more place she was going to. Flying around, she headed towards a high point in the forest. [color=bc8dbf][i]They must be watching over the exams. Short range communication, transmitted to a hill, best place to watch is at the source, near the center for best coverage of whole forest. First exam was fun, I'm glad I was able to meet Raiju and Raijin. Still want to slap Raiju. Oh well, I'm done.[/i][/color] She reappeared in the distance as a person, officially out of chakra. Making her way to a tower disguised as a tree, Ai opened the door. Yep, it was an observatory room. Looking around, Ai noticed the Hokage, Tsuchikage, and one other. She raised her hands, both completely empty. [color=bc8dbf]"Hey, just here for the show. So this is where you were watching. Oh, don't worry, I'm not participating now. Donated my scroll to charity."[/color] She flashed the Tsuchikage a friendly grin. He'd know who she was talking about. [color=bc8dbf]"Won't even know I'm here. 'sides, I can help you with the radio next time. Also, are there snacks here?"[/color] Without waiting for an answer, Ai walked to the back of the room, and plopped down against the wall, watching the monitors. ----------- [color=39b54a] [center][h3]Wind Trial[/h3][/center][/color] As the wind group made it through the tracks, the jonin stopped attacking. True to their word, once they were out of the wind barrier, they didn't pursue, though they did continue shooting arcing vacuum spheres for a good mile out. Past that, they grew more and more sparse til they disappeared completely. Making it to the obvious tracks, there were no sign of human involvement. It would take them a good hour of tracking to get to the end. IT would almost seem like the tracks went on forever until, finally, they made it to a clearing. Symbols covered the ground. As soon as the group moved to grab the scroll, they would activate, taking them straight to the announcement area.
