A large boom could be heard throughout the entire forest of death. Each of the scroll participants had now finished and were presented with the chance to heal if so chosen. The ones who have been fighting already were swiftly teleported away to a new starting zone of the forest as to prevent a repeat battle and ease of stealing the scroll. The rules were made quite simple and would be tolerated rather strictly, any deviation would not be handled nicely. The boom was none other than the voice of the Hokage himself, [color=E54515]“SENTOU KAISHI; LET THE BATTLES COMMENCE!”[/color] was all he said before a gunshot was heard that issued the start of the second examination.

Seeing and hearing his friend and teammates all cheer and laugh in relief was quite therapeutic for Shizuka. He never really experienced this many shifts in emotions and feelings, before this his closest friend was his landlord and his parents. Come to think of it when he was in Sunagakure he didn’t really have friends over there either. He had done the same there as he did in konoha, one could only guess it was a perk of being a wallflower. Then again it never bothered Shizuka, sadness was rarely an emotion he felt let alone understood enough to feel. In some aspects people might be envious to how naive the boy really was to emotions and experiencing them. Having no attachments and never having to feel pain on the emotional level seemed quite ideal and useful in this ninja world, especially if he were to be turned into a killing machine. 

Before he could proceed any more they were abruptly interrupted by the thundering voice of the Hokage which prominently issued the start of the examination. Yet something didn’t sit well with Kiku as she launched a sneak attack on the group. Shizuka’s vision went offline in that moment, his eyes filled with the same familiar cloudiness he had grown accustomed to while looking into her eyes. All he could hear and sense with his wind was her sudden vanishing act. Time slowed down to a near halt as he felt the moment she ran past him and vanished leaving him powerless to stop her. A slither of a second prior to engaging her genjutsu, Shizuka’s air sensed the sudden shift in his field allowing him to kai out of the genjutsu almost instantaneously. “KIKU!” Shizuka screamed, why? Why did he scream? Shouldn’t he had been focused on passing the exam first and foremost?

Shizuka in a confused panic whipped his head around looking around for something, anything. His eyes instantly met with the band Kiku notoriously wore over her eyes. In delirious excitement he ripped the band from the floor where she once sat and channeled her lavender scent from the mask as almost a perfect GPS signal to her location. Before he could leave Shizuka flicked his fingers creating small orbs of air that splashed against the bodies of his teammates knocking them out of their blind paralysis. [color=39b54a]“I’m the healthiest here, I’m going after her. We’ll meet up in the forest, take care of each other and use those spores sticky.” [/color]What was he saying? Since when did he care about the wellbeing of everyone else but himself? Regardless Shizuka darted into the forest almost weightless as the noble wind seeker was in search of his favorite cloud. 

In her current critical condition Kiku wouldn’t make it quite far with a mostly healthy Shizuka pressing on her heels. Weaving in and out of branches above and roots below the scent drew him closer and closer until he was able to perceive the blind girl within his vision. In almost sound breaking speed he darted towards kiku before landing in the earth alongside her cutting off her route of escape. [color=39b54a]“Why did you do that? Where did you think you were going?”[/color] Shizuka realized how bewildered he was and how it might not have helped the situation at hand, maybe she was confused or scared, he was getting better at reading social cues, but not a master yet. Shizuka scratching his head and forming the same persistent smile that intoxicated her in the first place, let out a soothing voice, [color=39b54a]“I think you forgot something cloudy eyes.”[/color] Shizuka said before invading her privacy once more as he wrapped the mask around her clouded eyes. Whether she attacked him or not was up to her and if she did he would have left himself wide open.

With Kyo and Senna making it out of their trial with the others there was rather small room for praise. They were last, dead last and that was never a good thing. How many uchiha does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Apparently more than 3 to find a scroll, but then again it was also Kyo’s over analysis that drove them into a corner. They were more or less all at peak health just as they were when they entered, little to no chakra was wasted by any of them aside from Kyo. So there was no need or arrival of medical ninja, just Shinko with his fast explanation of the rules. It seemed like as soon as he finished the explanation that they would hear the roar of the Hokage’s voice over the entire vicinity of the field. No doubt this was a declaration of war and the start of the second exam for all teams and individuals. 

It was time to plan and execute as a team, it seemed almost too free and unfair to be a team of Uchiha with a sensor that was most likely the strongest there was in these exams. The interworking of his mind began to spin and weave devious plans. His mind moved, but his mouth stopped, a heart dropping pit was felt in Kyo’s chest when he caught the vision of Mizuki. Mizuki? Mizuki died in that forest only days ago, or did he? How was he alive? The aura filled the other two uchihas with dread and confusion, senna could be heard audibly gasping in horror almost in tears. Kyo grabbed Senna by the hands before they vanished off into the distance chasing after the mirage or real Mizuki leaving the other two behind. The connection they shared with Senna was gone now, they were naked once more.
