The common area and infirmary for participants and proctors of the Chuunin exams to gather. This area contains food stands, rest areas, and small training grounds for squads to practice, take it easy, or eat. General RPing outside of the match rooms will take place here. |

Setsuna opened his eyes in the infirmary quite confused. He wasn't sure what exactly had happened honestly. Setsuna looked around the area, establishing his location but not understanding why he was here. Setsuna focused his chakra, feeling no genjutsu influence... he also didn't seem to be bandaged up at all. He sat up and let his feet dangle over the edge, grasping at the wisps of memory he could. Someone tried to hurt him? Or was it a medic? It was a bit fuzzy. He definitely remembered an Uchiha... maybe it was Kuda? It didn't seem right everything was jumbled since he had come to the tower. ================== Asuna was enjoying the down time. She was dehydrated more so than she had ever been and was working her hardest to remedy that while simultaneously stuffing her face. =============== Hide wwawaswas devourin ffrfrfrufruittsts and veggies while he relaxed. "So what happens next? We got the flags. Made it to the tower. Now... what?" The Aburame asked his comrades as they sat in the cool waiting area. ================ Niten spent some time sharpening his sword before he approached Ki to help with fixing black sun. There was so much to do with how broken the puppet was and the swordsman didn't understand exactly what was needed. But anyway he could help he wanted to "Ki, I won't pretend like I understand the gadgets here but whatever I can do to help... I want to. It's my fault the black sun is out of commission after all..." ================ Konishi was standing around watching everyone just kind of... mingle. Shou was nowhere to be seen oddly enough. He was at ease for now. Jace seemed to be on edge since the last exam so he figured the guy would want some space. Rain had felt neglected when he trained with those Konoha guys so she probably didn't like him too much right now too... maybe he was shit as a squad leader... no, they had passed the test with his leadership and his teams awesome skills! He just needed to be patient for now. ==================== Oso had a huge plate of meat he was tearing into at a table. He waved to Kairi for her to come over. She was pretty strong... had she ever been through these exams before? "Question for ya Kairi... Have you ever taken the chuunin exam before? You've been a genin for awhile from what I can tell. It just burns me up being unsure what to do next!" ==================== Siluk was moving through kata with his kukri in a corner. Hotei watched carefully before joining him. The two moved through an almost dance like series of movements, Siluk just practicing - Hotei actually learning from the experience. Since they had arrived at the tower, Siluk seemed to have an I NV credible drive to become stronger. It was like Hotei had never actually met the real Siluk. The training was methodical as well, the actual technical aspects of Siluk's unique fighting style were incredible. "Moku, has Siluk always been like this?" "What the hell does that mean? " Siluk stopped the training drill with a stern questioning tone. =============== Hiro was sitting near the infirmary while Vauban and Saira were being healed. From the sound of it, Saira was a much quicker fix with Vauban requiring more attention due to the severe damage to his ears. The whole exam had been a lesson in humility honestly. "Don't look so introspective my friend. The medics here are fantastic at their job. I gotta say... as rough as things got... you pulled off one hell of a feat." Hiro couldn't help but to smile sheepishly. It felt nice to work with a full squad and now that his friends were coming back online he felt a sense if pride for what they managed to accomplish. =================== |

Chogane and Shikanira returned to the infirmary to see Setsuna up and moving. He seemed relatively fine, and healed up from whatever happened. "So what did the doc say, Setsuna?" The Akimichi asked his comrade, placing his hand on his shoulder. "Yeah, you should hurry, they are about to announce the next part of the exam. Apparently the second part isn't quite done yet." The Nara added in. ====================== Juri walked through the halls, overhearing Shikanira and Chogane speaking to the Uchiha boy on their squad. He had went to make sure Shikanira was alright, but got caught up in her trying to stay with her own team. He shook his head, making his way back to the common area where Asuna rested. "I guess they are gonna make an announcement soon." He mentioned to his friend. ========================= "Now the fun begins, I can only assume..." Kuda responded to the restless Hideyori. The trio had time to heal up and relax while they waited for everyone to make their way to the tower. A full day had passed and they were raring to go, the Aburame seemingly more than the rest. "Seems today will be another culling. Some sort of test to weed out the weaker individuals." The Nashiki added in. =========================== "It is both our faults, Niten. You did give me instruction to attack, yes. But I did it in a reckless way. Clearly I am to blame as much, if not a little less than you." Ki responded in kind to Niten. He had rested up for the night and morning of this new day after the squad had made it to the tower. He and Niten worked intricately on Black Sun in the meantime, though the damage was pretty irreparable in their current state. "It seems without replacement panels the like that I have at home, Black Sun is without hope. We did our best Niten, and I thank you for you contribution. But there is nothing more we can do." It was a pity his titular puppet could not be repaired in time. ========================= Rain stood in the training area of the common room, throwing punches, kicks, and palms at the dummies stationed there. She mimicked the movements of Konishi, Juri, and Asuna that she had witnessed during the exam on their way to the tower. She was determined to get better at taijutsu. Jace, on the other hand, was brooding in his own right. He sat in a rest area alone, any attempt at contact with him was completely brushed off and ignored. He intended to make a name during this next part of the exam, and doing so with the outside influence of his idiotic team beforehand would only serve to throw him off. Being alone was the bets course of action for him now. =========================== "Your guess is as good as mine, Oso!" Kairi mentioned to the boy as he asked his question. She put her hands across her face as she struck a silly pose, trying to alleviate the boredom presented by this constant waiting. "After my... Initial run in with that S class missing-NIN, I took a hiatus from... Life. I've been in the mountains and swamps surrounding Kumogakure for the past few years. Never had a reason to enter the exams until now." She put it bluntly. =========================== "That is the Siluk that I remember." Moku commented back to Hotei as he asked of the Kori's behaviour. Ah yes... That was the friend that he had trained with back in the day. Not worrying, and being in his own head about killing, being killed, or guilt. This was who he had gone to the Land of Snow with. This was who he stopped bandits with. This was who he grew up out of the academy, into their Genin life with. Siluk was himself again. "It is most definitely a compliment, brother. Take it as such." The Tiambai laughed cheerfully at the happy occasion. ========================== "If the feat was being able to find a way to have the easiest road..." Kaitsu complained. He and Hiro had to carry comrades, utilize stealth tactics, and actually fight opponents. He understood the reason to compliment their squadmates, but didn't agree with what was being said. "Enough of the sour attitude. At least we can walk around, and contribute now!" Saira rested her baseball bat on Kai's shoulder as a warning as she walked closer and closer to him. The girl was happy her legs could move once more, still some cricks and creeks, but no more pain and numbness. ====================== A Jounin walked to the front of the room. He was wearing Iwagakure armor, and had a lazy look in his eyes. A few coughs, and throat clears later, he had everyones attention. "Hello... I am Genma Sierra. Proctor of the Chuunin exams... Seems we have a record turnout. 32 Genin have made it this far, and that is far too much for our tastes. So before making it to the next part of the exams, we will be holding a preliminary match period. Each one of you, as ready as you may be, will now be lead to a room to have one on one fights. Either to the death, to knockout, or till your respective referee stops the match... Under only extenuating circumstances." Everyone of the Genin participating had gathered around at this point. "There are viewing areas for those who would like to spectate the matches. If you wanna watch, just follow the Genin who is making their way to their respective ring." Everyone looked nervously back and forth. Genma, the Iwagakure jounin coughed once more. "Without further ado, I will announce the first six matches." He opened up a scroll, slowly unrolling it. "In room 1, Niten Doraku and Kaji Fujiin." "Niten... Do well my friend. If my match is not one of the first, I will come and spectate." "In room 2, Chogane Akimchi and Tsou Sihann." Chogane looked nervously at his friends before smiling and facing forward. "Ah yeah! Time to kick it into gear." "You'll knock it outta the park!" Shikanira rubbed his shoulders, pumping the boy up. "In Room number 3, Shou Tucker and Shinken Hoshi." Jace looked up as his squadmates name was called. So the good doctor would be fighting in the first round of battles. That was interesting. If he wasn't in the first round as well, he would definitely spectate, see what he could do. "In room number 4, Kairi Nashiki with Hoshi Sentuma." Kairi smiled as she looked to Oso. "Seems I'll be the first one to kick some ass!" "In room number 5, Kaitsu Dekeima and Wapi Kamizuru." Kai sighed a bit, looking at his teammates lazily. "Damnit... Looks like I am first. What an annoyance." He complained. "And finally in room 6, Hotei Kaguya and Mito Uzumaki." Moku looked to Hotei excited, glee clearly in his eyes. "You are in the first round Hotei! We will surely be there to cheer you on!" |

Setsuna shook his head in confusion. "That's just it. I don't know. I was... kinda in and out. There was a doctor here I think and then I woke up. I don't feel any physical injuries, no genjutsu effects, in fact as far as I can tell there wasn't any actual treatment done. I don't even have a medical chart." Setsuna looked at the empty foot of his bed. All of the other patients had attendants who were constantly checking and marking their temporary files but Setsuna seemed to be an exception. A nurse approached looking as confused as he was. "Um... I'm sorry we didn't notice you there with how busy we have been! Do you need -" Setsuna shook his head and stood up. The announcements were coming soon and he couldn't really decide if this was a situation of incompetence or if it was something more... sinister. "No. I was just resting. Wrong place I guess." He smiled sheepishly as he stood up and walked towards the announcer. "Cho, Shika... we can talk about this later. Keep it to yourselves." Setsuna spoke quietly with an odd fierceness. As he listened to the explanation of the eleminate on rounds, he heard Chogane's name and patted his back proudly. "Go get em tiger. We will be supporting you from the audience! Setsuna grabbed Shikaniras hand and began the walk to the arena to watch. |

Chogane returned from the match rooms, Setsuna and Shikanira already back and waiting for him. "You kicked some serious butt Chogane!" The Nara exclaimed as she ran towards the Akimichi, throwing her arms around him in a large embrace. Breaking it off, she gave him a kiss on the cheek before turning to Setsuna. "That's only a fraction of what you'll be seeing from me!" He pounded his chest. It was nice to have shown his comrade what he was able to do. The fight he had just done hadn't actually been as tough as he thought it would be, which really meant something to him. Genma, the proctor for the exams stepped up, everyone focusing on him once more. "Next up in room two, will be Juri Hyuga and Hebi Tasumi." Shikanira turned to see Juri get very attentive. She walked up to him as he was facing Asuna. "Looks like it is my turn Asuna... I will make our sensei, and you proud!" He bowed to his comrade before turning, and running into the Nara. "Juri... Kick some butt! I believe in you!" She leaned forward, kissing him on the cheek, and letting it linger slightly. The young boy perked up, his eyes widening slightly as it was so unexpected for him. Nodding to her, his cheeks burned bright red. "I...I... I won't let you down." His normal formal and collected self stuttered a bit at this. He then smiled and made his way to the exam room, ready to face his opponent. |

"Awesome job dude! That was fucking savage!" Siluk went to pat him on the back but instead was forced to catch Hotei. The guy was exhausted and didn't seem to have any energy left. His entire body was covered in sweat and he was trembling from fatigue. "You just sit down and rest bro. I didn't realize you were actually fighting 100% that entire time. How was it? She seemed really strong." Hotei shook his head slowly as he drank a bottle of water. "She is... a monster... it took everything I had... to keep fighting after the first blow. Her actual physical strength was so terrifying I wanted to give up every second... I was literally... putting on a brave face guys." Hotei opened his kimono to expose his chest. A thick layer of his bone armor had been crushed into dust which had settled onto his sweaty skin. An extensive network of dark bruises wrapped entirely around his torso. Had he not protected himself he would have been juiced like a smoothy with her first strike. ============ Setsuna gave Chogane a big slap on his back. Probably a bit harder than Chogane was expecting but he couldn't contain his excitement at the display he had just seen. "Dude that was something else. Knowing you've got even more than that to show has got me all fired up! I don't know what dad taught you guys while I was fine but damn!" Setsuna grinned a bit as he showered praise down Yom Chogane. He turned to see their konoha comrades approaching. Juri was the next match? Go little guy! Seeing Shikanira plant a kiss on his cheek left Setsuna feeling conflicted. He was happy for his friend but it tore him up inside considering he had almost kissed her himself before leaving to the land of iron. Maybe that's what he had given up in exchange for strength. Setsuna let out a soft sigh as he turned and walked towards the stands. As he was walking a trio of Kirigakure ninja emerged and seemed to be praising an exhausted teammate. A new guy from Setsunas experience. "Hey its you guys. Glad to see you made it. I figured you would considering how strong you are." Setsuna spoke without a whole lot of inflection considering his current internal struggles. Siluk turned around surprised to hear someone talking to them. He didn't have a whole lot of friends outside of his squad. "Uchiha? I... hey, uh... " Setsuna raised am eyebrow in confusion as Siluk seemed a bit embarrassed. It was odd that he was lacking the usual swagger and his eyes were constantly averted from him. A nervous tick? It put Setsuna on alert internally. "Weeelllll... ok then. I'll be going." As Setsuna turned to walk away from the awkward encounter, he felt a hand placed on his shoulder though it lacked aggression. "Man... I'm bad at this kind of thing but... I have to apologize to you. Kichirou is your... dad right? You share a resemblance." Siluk needed to get it off his chest or it would throw him off later. This seemed as good a chance as he would ever get. But how did he apologize for killing the guys cousin? "Yes - I see you have met apparently. Can you just spit it out already? One of my comrades is about to fight and I want to watch." Setsuna turned to face Siluk, his eyes darting from Moku to the new guy and then to Siluk. He narrowed his gaze as he waited for Siluk to continue. This was highly suspect from his body language. "I'm... I'm sorry man. We were on a mission and it is what it is. She just wasn't as sharp as I was on that day and I want you to know it wasn't personal in any way. If Kichirou is your dad, she would have been your cousin then." The color drained from Setsunas face as his stomach dropped. The echos of his father trying to tell him about her brutal death, closed casket, frost bitten wounds... a single tear ran from each of Setsunas eyes. "I'll fucking kill you." The words were spoken softly as an intense blood lust filled the corridor. Why? Why would he just lay this out here? Either way... all Setsuna could see was red. His shoulders tensed slightly as he began drawing his sword, aiming to throw a twisting strike at Siluk's throat before he could react at this range. The twist in the strike would ensure the sharp edge of his reverse blade sword would be able to bite deep into his throat. |

The crackle of red lightning flashed around the Genin who were gathering in the common area. As Setsuna's blade reached for the Mist shinobi's neck, everyone seemed to act at once. Moku appeared between the two, his metallic claws blocking in a cross to stop the blade from touching his comrades neck. From behind, Chogane had his hand on the Uchiha's elbow, rocks encasing them both to hold them firmly together, the Akimichi flexing all his strength to hold back the angered Genin. Shikanira knelt down, her hands in a seal, her shadows extending out to link up with Setsuna's, pressing her chakra to stop him from attacking. All of this drew the attention of the Jounin proctor. "Fighting in the common area is a strict red flag. Setsuna Uchiha, you will be reprimanded should you continue this outburst." Genma spoke as he walked between the two, putting his hand to the sword, and lowering it. "Uchiha... It is pleasant to see you... Should the circumstances be different next time, I would wish to talk." Moku spoke to the Leaf ninja before putting his hand to Siluk's back, and looking to lead him away from the situation. They should take Hotei to the infirmary anyways. "Setsuna! That's enough!" A familiar voice rang out. Walking over to the scene, the calm Hitoha faced his friend, a stern face staring daggers at the boy. "I know you are one to let your emotions get the best of you at times, but this is neither the time nor place. We are in the company of every village that would see you dead, and not only that, are ambassadors of Konohagakure. Stay your sword. If luck swings your way, you can face him in the arena." Ku Hitoha spoke as he motioned for Genma to leave, as he would take care of it. He then looked down at Setsuna's sheath, nodding for him to put his weapon away. "This is NOT how we conduct ourselves here. You are NOT above anyone else in respect to the rules and law." He had to make his words firm and believable if he were to be taken seriously, but in reality... he would have kind of liked to see Setsuna hit that kid where it hurt. "Anyways... With the return of Niten as the winner in room one... We will have Konishi Katsuyuki and Tou Tsuun proceed to room one. And with Hotei Kaguya's win... We will have Siluk Kori and Kukushi Kuron in room six. As well as room five will be occupied by Kuda Uchiha and Takako Ishimura due to Kaitsu's win." Genma instructed the individuals to their new rooms. Moku stopped with Hotei, motioning for his friend to go on ahead. "I'll make sure Hotei is looked after. Win it for us, Siluk, so we may see you in the next round." "Eh! Go Konishi... I bet... I... You will.. You should do good!" "FINALLY! I get to unwind and really let loose. These kids won't know what's coming to them!" Kuda cracked his knuckles and smiled. He turned to Amy. "Kiss for good luck?" The Uchiha leaned in towards the girl, who reeled back, and punched him in the face. Kuda recoiled before feeling his shirt being gripped. His eyes opened to see the Nashiki pulling him into an embrace. He smiled as their lips touched, locking together, he gave her a soft, yet passionate kiss. The two smiled as they broke, stepping back from each other. "Don't lose too early!" She joked with him. Kuda rubbed the back of his neck, nodding. "Wouldn't dream of it." The contestants made their ways to their respective rooms. |

Reprimanded? He would get in trouble if he continued? Setsuna felt the room spinning as his emotions swelled. The only voice he heard clearly was Ku, the stern voice cutting through the fog. Setsuna seemed to calm down all at once but when he spoke his voice was small and shaking slightly. Though lacking a strained tone, he was trying to compose himself. "Not here... even if we fight... during the exams... this isn't the place. I... ... I need to be alone." The young and fiery Uchiha sheathed his sword slowly as to not have anyone else put on edge. He couldn't exactly exit the tower so instead he picked a secluded corner. It was the best he could hope for at this point. Sitting down on the floor with his back towards the room itself, Setsuna began breathing exercises. Just as he would calm himself, the jonin speaking about a reprimand would get him heated again. His composure was completely broken at the moment and he needed to center himself. Tears dropped down his face unrestrained though he remained quiet as he struggled to come to grips with the facts before him. "Rules and laws... Ku doesn't understand... some things are simply justice. I would tear down everything for my family, set the forests ablaze and break the mountains into plains." Setsuna was hurting inside terribly as he spoke quietly to himself. If he tried to kill Siluk here it would only be interrupted. He would have to do so on a mission. To be able to make moves around and through Kirigakure he would need access to higher rank missions and therefore he would have to pass these exams. =================== Siluk gave a half hearted nod to Moku as he escorted Hotei to the infirmary. He walked passed an oddball of a guy, Konishi was it? He seemed to be pretty hyped to head out to his fight. Siluk would have to do his best. With the recent events concerning Setsuna, he felt great really. A burden was lifted off his chest and if the kid wanted revenge, Siluk would meet him in a true test of justice - a fight to the death. It was the norm back home and it seemed the Uchiha was enough of a warrior to think the same way. ============== Konishi just gave a big thumbs up to his crew behind him as he headed for the room. There seemed to have been some kinda scuffle in the interim, tensions always seemed to run high with so much at stake but that killing intent had been intense. Konishi wanted to fight that guy. He had a real way about him that just seemed like they would get along if an understanding of values could be reached. |

"HEY!" Kairi shouted, waving in the direction of the sulking Uchiha who had retreated to his own corner. Shikanira and Chogane had decided it was best to just let him fume for a little bit before they would talk to him about everything that had gone on. But until then... It seemed the short girl from Kumogakure was taking the reigns. "Yoooooooou're.... Emmmmmm... Setsuna! The lil' guy that I fought at the Crucible!" She slid down the wall, plopping herself next to him. The girls arms were covered in all sorts of cuts and gashes from her fight with Hoshi, but even with them bleeding, the Nashiki seemed to pay no mind to it. "What's up, grumpy-pants?" Kairi could sense he was distressed. |

Setsuna was surprised to see Kairi approach. As she sat next to him, asking what the matter was in her unique way, Setsuna just felt at ease. She was a bit older than him so surely she had been through more strife. "I'm... having a hard time with... our current society. The guy who brutally killed a dear family member of mine confronted me about it. I could understand if... it was simply a battlefield loss but - she was mercilessly cut and beaten, her eyes destroyed and face terribly sliced. She deserves justice. But.." The thought of each person who interfered brought a mixture of feelings to the young Uchiha. He loved his family and clan so strongly that to destroy them invoked an inverse feeling of hatred. "So many stepped forward to interfere. Am I not justified? I feel like the bonds I am carrying are... restraining me from acting. Maybe... maybe true justice can only be achieved alone." Setsuna was in a really dark place at the moment. He had already been thinking about how, even temporarily, casting away love and friendship allowed him to acquire more strength during his training camp in the land of iron. Maybe if the village and everyone in it were disconnected he could act without these... obstacles. |
