The jonin led them to a training complex—one that Azumi had never been to before. At first glance, the course looked similar to many of the ones she’d gone through as a academy student, with fields, obstacles, and targets, but once they were closer Azumi saw the differences: this course was more advanced—higher steps, further distances.

[color=thistle]“Y—yes!”[/color] Azumi stuttered when Ai called on her, her heartbeat in her ears as she stepped forwards to put herself between the obstacle course and her team. 

[i]It’s okay, Azumi. You can do this,[/i] she told herself firmly as she bent to a running stance and pulled out her kunai. Then—with one last, deep breath—she took off, launching herself smoothly over the sand pit and hurling her kunai at the targets past it. Thunk thunk—two hits and neither center, but Azumi was already bound for the next part of the course, transversing neatly over the wooden poles. Though she nearly tripped once or twice, she managed to keep up her pace until she reached the platform, where she paused, catching her breath as she watched for the pedulum’s pattern.

[i]Four,[/i] she counted, pulling out another kunai. Then, at the second count of four, she was off again, passing the pendulum with a jump as she threw her kunai, which sailed smoothly past the target.

Azumi pulled up on the other side of the pendulum, stricken, but quickly shook off her shock. Pulling out another kunai, she lapped back, hurling it at the target as she passed the pendulum again, this time successfully hitting it, though off-center. Passing the pendulum a third time was as easy, and she was quickly through the gate and onto the second obstacle course, hopping from post to post, though with some brief hesitation on the longer jumps. 

As she descended, though, Azumi didn’t see the first target until it was disappearing, and she quickly fumbled for a kunai as the second target appeared. Shame threatened to overwhelm her, but she pushed back, successfully hitting five of the six remaining targets. 

Landing on the ending platform, Azumi bent over, panting as she looked at Ai and her teammates, zeroing in on Ai’s in particular. Had she disappointed the jonin already?

[color=darkgray]“Well she doesn’t set high standards,”[/color] Masumi said snidely to Minori. [color=darkgray]“You want to go next, or are we keeping the Azumi-me-you order?”[/color]
