These three really were surprising. They all accepted his challenge without a hint of protest. Koji had expected the need to shut down some defiant speech questioning his own qualifications, or something similar. The only defiance they showed was in the face of the challenge, Naruko in particular boasting about how [b]he[/b] would be the one needing to give his all. It was certainly possible... one day. [color=#318CE7]"I'm not interested in boasts, but it's good you're not wasting time on pointless matters. Let's get started..."[/color]
Koji's hand extended out to point into the forest, off in the distance to somewhere that could not be seen through the thick foliage. [color=#318CE7]"Two hundred meters to the southeast I put down a scroll. You are to retrieve it and bring it back to this spot. I will be stopping you from doing so. That's all there is to it. You'll have thirty seconds in this location to prepare, and then we'll begin for real. Starting now!"[/color]

Right after Koji made the announcement, he dashed through the trees at blinding speed, and within a few seconds was already at around the location he'd stated. A patch of ground nearby was clear of trees, and seemed visible enough as any. Koji's hands moved into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a blank scroll and a kunai, casually tossing the scroll onto the ground. It would do for the test. The kunai flipped in his hand, the blade facing upwards between his knuckles like it was a claw. It was coming near time for the genin to move, only a few seconds longer... Koji's back arched as he leaned back, his arm extended behind him. With an inhale, he waited the last couple of seconds... go. The man exhaled, and suddenly snapped forward in a throw, and in an instant his kunai was gone. Grass and leaves around him blew backwards violently as a shockwave passed through them, and a thunderous sound rang into the air as if he'd shot a cannon! Less than a second later, where the genin were was blasted through by a small object ripping through the branches and leaves, and crashed into the tree that was behind them. The breaking soundwave followed after, at the same time as the tree began to collapse with nothing but a large gap being left in the middle. The test had begun.
