Kino was not sure if Jhino was impressed or if Jhino simply felt that he had less 'baggage' than expected. He was quick to follow and had no qualms complying to a simple request to debut his archery skills. Archery of itself was a dead art form in the shinobi world, thought of as meant only for militia. Kino wasn't sure if Jhino was testing him, or actually just interested in seeing an archery style good enough to be passed as a genin. In the past, Kino had encountered several teachers who - intrigued by the praise he received - requested he show them how an archer-nin could work, in which Kino always managed to impress, with and without his jutsu. In this case, he felt that Jhino would not like any secrets, as they were part of a team, so he intended on showing and telling him all of his techniques and ideas.
"This special bracer I have on my arm. It's not just for looks. It has a seal that allows me to activate it with a single hand-sign to summon my bow. My brother is working on a way to let me summon different kinds of bows using different handsigns to activate different seals. If it works, then I'll be able to fight in a new range of ways. Harder pull for faster arrows, bladed bows so I can jump in and out of close-range, dual-arm bows that can be short and stealthy..." Kino recited aloud as they walked to the next training ground, although he realized that he began to drone on. As most youth did when they realized they talked just a bit too much, his voice heightened and he quickly finished: "Anyway, point being that I summon my bow. If you were wondering why I didn't have one on me."
In truth, Kino felt a little stupid, but it was hardly his intention. Kino rarely talked to anyone aside from his brother and at times his uncle, forcibly. Not only that, but the idea of being able to summon multiple bows for purposes of stealth and close-combat appealed to Kino about as much as the women's bathhouses appealed to his old perverted sensei. It could increase his potential tenfold, and he was already sixth in his class, first in his mind since those ahead of him had such unfair advantage that they were a step away from chuunin to begin with. Most of them were so far ahead that they weren't even assigned regular squads or teams; Kino had heard one of them was working inside the Hokage's office already. At least, between his brother and him, Kino was the best genin; and that's what mattered.
