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. |

Kairi soured her face as Setsuna talked about the death of a family member by someone supposedly here. She normally had a wide smile, and intrigued eyes, but she truly felt bad for the guy. "Well why did he confront you about it? He can't be some scary-wary guy if he came up to you and talked about it, right? I mean... What happened in you're lil' interaction?" The Nashiki stuck her hands out to her sides, by her head and wiggled about with the last words, trying to add a little dynamic to her question to ease the boy infront of her. "And maybe you could be justified for being a lil' hot under you're collar, but... When he did this, he probably did it in some sort of place that made it happen. I don't think this would be the best place to confront someone, ya'know?" Kairi looked down and contemplated what to do in this situation. He had probably heard all these words before. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek, leaning back and giggled a bit. "I'm Kairi, remember? It's awful rude of you to not acknowledge me, after I did you!" She stuck her hands to her hips, and sat back on her knees, huffing a bit comedically. |

Setsuna sighed. "I think... he was trying to apologize. But it came off as so insincere. Like the whole exchange was designed to clear his conscience and nothing more." Was he truly going to acknowledge the guys apology? He listened carefully as Kairi spoke on the situation. An outside perspective helped him gather his thoughts a bit more carefully. "Wha-" Setsuna blushed as Kairi kissed his cheek. He was caught completely off guard and didn't know what to say. He laughed a little bit as Kairi seemed huffy about him suggesting breaking the bonds he had forged thus far. It was an angry thought when he had been feeling utterly alone. Something he would put aside. "You got me Kairi haha. I was just... angry. The entire reason for us to take action at all... originates from these relationships we form. Still - how do you deal with this pain." Setsuna sighed again. He was much more calm now than before they had begun the conversation. |

Kuda and Shou entered the common area at the same time, Jace following soon after since he had watched the good doctors fight, somewhat intrigued by what he had actually gotten done in there. The Iwagakure shinobi looked around, trying to find their squadmates. "Eh... Konishi... he, umm, he is fighting right... Right now." Rain let them know. Jace nodded. Damnit. He wanted to be the one to fight Konishi. "With the return of Kairi Nashiki, Shou Tucker, and Kuda Uchiha... Proceeding to exam room 3 will be Hiro Uzushiru and his opponent Izumo Katakana. Exam room 4 will be Moku Tiambai with his opponent Okumaru Onohana. And entering into exam room 6 will be Rain Trinity against Harley Quinn." Rain piqued up, looking at her two returning teammates. A smile on her face, but she was shaking. It was her turn!? Across the room, a boy wearing somewhat of a jesters uniform stirred. He had a creepy mask covering his face, and he was glaring at her. That must... Be her opponent... "I...I... I don't kno... know if I cannnn.... can do this." She shivered. Jace shook his head. "If you are going to be my teammate, you will go in there, and you will win." He gave odd words of encouragement to her. "It seems I will have no one to cheer me on... This is fine. I can go all out without worry of casualties in the arena." Moku spoke to himself as he made his was forward. ====================== "You know, it never gets easier..." Kairi looked down. She thought of the Grand Master. She thought of Shou-sensei, and of Akira. She then thought of that little kid that had been killed on her most recent mission. "But it also gives you a pushy forward! Why would you be fighting, or doing any of this without what you went through? Would you have tried to get stronger if you hadn't lost to me?" She slugged him on the shoulder a bit with that last one being a little jab. "Our past... Well our past is what makes us who we are now, and who we will be later. Our relationships, with the people we love is what gives us worth, and something to fight for. Who do you love, Setsunie? What about that cute lil' girl you always hang around and the chubby friend? Or that dudey that likes to act super tough and stuff? Won't you fight for them? Your family that was killed... You wanna fight for them, right? That's how I deal with it. I keep going because without me, there could be a lot more hurt. And thinking about that, it makes me happy, because I stop that hurt!" She went on a bit of a tangent, but she truly meant what she said. Even without quite answering his question, she felt her words may resonate with him. ==================== "What do you think of that?" Chogane nudged Shikanira as they noticed the Kumogakure girl over talking to Setsuna. The two stared for a little bit until she leaned in and gave the Uchiha a kiss on the cheek. The Nara became red, heat rising into her cheeks as she witnessed it. Chogane looked over at her, but the kunoichi hid her shame by looking down. Swallowing a bit, she remembered Juri. She really liked him... So why did she get so hot under the collar by seeing Setsuna accept a meaningless kiss? It probably meant nothing... "Let's go watch Juri's match?" She offered up to her friend. He raised his eyebrows at the question, but then just nodded, turning away from the scene before them. |

Setsuna just grinned a little and shook his head as the odd fish kunoichi seemed to so easily lift his spirits. The Uchiha wiped his face dry as he considered her words. He had been looking at things with utter naivety. It was impossible for him to ever prevent death and sorrow and hatred. But if his existence could ease that burden and shield people regardless, even if only a momentary reprieve, he would be able to consider that a victory. "Thank you Kairi for... for this talk. I really needed to hear those words today." Setsuna took a large breath and rose to his feet. He should be supporting his comrades battle... as much as it caused his heart to hurt. He walked through the area to go watch Juri's fight giving Kairi a brief wave. |

"With the return of Siluk Kori... Oso Tengen. You are next up in room 5 against Kiaria Seto." Genma said lazily, pointing to the young Kumogakure Genin. Kairi ran over to him, clapping as she did, leaving Setsuna and his team to go watch their friend. "Wooooooo, Oso~ It's your turn baaaabe! Get ready to kick some butt!" ================== "We just managed to catch the end, little buddy!" The Akimichi exclaimed, hitting Juri on the back for a job well done. The Hyuga smiled to the large boy before looking over at Setsuna. "You came too? I am grateful." He bowed to the boy, showing respect to him, and thanks for watching the fight. "Shikanira-chan... What did you think?" The girl approached him, throwing her arms around his neck, embracing the byo tightly. "You kicked butt!" She didn't actually get to see what he had done to those piles of bones before they had gotten there, but he must have been fierce to cause his opponent to cry out like that and give up. "With the Hyuga's victory... Will Jace Kamui and Sai Senthall proceed to room 2." Jace pounded his fists together. Damn, he wouldn't be able to see how Konishi did before he left. That was too bad. But it just meant he would have to return the victor. Nodding to Shou, he cracked his head to the side, and made his way to the next room for his battle. Edited by Hawashi, Jun 20 2018, 05:33 PM.

Oso gave Kairi a high five as he hurried off to his match arena. He was so excited to show what he could do! ======= Hiro returned to the common area and had a seat. He snagged a water bottle on the way and took a big drink as he let himself settle down. He didn't know why, but today he was caught up in his feelings as memories of home plucked at his heartstrings. =========== Setsuna gave a brief nod to Juri. He had been able to piece together the events that transpired before they arrived. His gentle fist technique had locked down what appeared to be a sort of... modified puppet master jutsu and, in true Hyuga fashion, had done so in a way that completely broke the spirit of his opponent. "Props dude. Seemed like you put a lot into it but you were able to end a conflict without even touching your opponent. That's pretty boss-tier if you ask me." Setsuna was definitely in a better mindset after his talk with Kair and his attitude here clearly showed as much. Also it was pretty savage to end a fight the way Juri had so there was no way he would nitpick and try to take anything away from such an overwhelming victory on his comrades part. |

Everyone gathered into the common area. Broken and beaten shinobi lined up with the clean and hardy. They all eyed around. No one really knew who had passed the exam and who had failed, only who they had beaten. The room was obviously split between who some of the winners were, though some who had won looked like certain losers with the way they were beaten up. Everyone lined up in their respective villages, exchanging glances. Most knew who from their village had won, from conversing around with their peers. Up infront, Genma approached the middle of the room, staring at all of the potential prospects. Behind him, the Jounin proctors lined up. "I will now proceed to announce the ones moving forward on to the next part of the exams..." He trailed off before each proctor approached him, and handed him their pieces of paper with the list of winners. He cleared his throat. "From Konohagakure no Sato... Juri Hyuga. Kuda Uchiha. Setsuna Uchiha. Amy Nashiki. Hideyori Aburame. Asuna Heike. Chogane Akimichi. Shikanira Nara. Owofuru Inuzuka. Gomi Bako." Smiles all around as most of the Leaf ninja had passed. A few outlying teams looked down in sadness, Hoshi from Owofuru's team rubbing the back of his neck in disappointment as he was the only one from the squad to lose. "From Iwagakure no Sato. Jace Kamui. Konishi Katsuyuki. Iko Toyama. Rain Trinity. and Shou Tucker." Jace raised his head in glory as he had won. Rain clenched her fists, smiling to herself... She had proved that she could do it. She had made it to the third round by herself. "From Kumogakure no Sato. Oso Tengen. Hitoshi Saiki. Momo Watanabe. Kairi Nashiki." Whispers went throughout the room at the mention of the last name. Her reputation reflected the amount of people who turned their heads when she was announced. "From Kirigakure no Sato. Moku Tiambai. Roija Kojikuci. Siluk Kori. Shungetsu Hozuki. And Hotei Kaguya." Moku looked over to Roija and Shungetsu with a smile. It was good to see others from their village representing. "From Sunagakure no Sato. Ki Kankurou. And Niten Doraku." Ki looked over. Sai hadn't made it? He was sure a powerful shinobi like him would have been able to go at least to the third round. Who had he faced... Jace Kamui... That guy from the Rock village. How powerful was he? "From Yugakure no Sato. Vauban Debonair. Kaitsu Dekeima. Saira Tenju. And Hiro Uzushiru." Some heads turned at the last one. Wasn't that a name from the Whirlpool village? Odd hearing it from somewhere else. "From Amegakure no Sato. Masaharu Ichigo." The sole member from the Rain village. He stepped forward and bowed his wirey frame towards his comrades. "And from Uzushiogakure no Sato. Kitcho Uzumaki." Everyone looked around to spot the lone red haired boy standing with a broken sibling, and another. The three who represented the Whirlpool, and one made it out. "These are the ones who have made it passed Round 2. Just because you have not made it passed this round, does not mean that you will not make Chuunin outside of this exam. Deliberations will be gone through to decide those of you who have failed, who will be promoted. Ceremonies will happen in your respective villages. Losers may be dismissed." Everyone began talking as they all dispersed. It took a little while, but eventually, only the winners stood in the room with their respective proctors. "You each have one month to prepare for the upcoming exams. The exam will be similar format to this, one on one fights. It will be tournament style, meaning prepare to potentially fight more than one a day depending on the time we have left. The exam will be held in Iwagakure no Sato, and will be observed by every village and village leader that is participating. Win or lose, some may or may not make Chuunin, so do not give up if your opponent has something up on you. Give it your all, and show us what you have. You have one month." With that, Genma turned around and began to walk away. The Genin all stood staring, awestruck by the thoughts of the exams happening in one month. One month to prepare? |

Setsuna took a quick glance around, noticing those who remained. He had seen their strength and temperament, slipping away occasionally to witness their final matches in the second round. He waited until the ceremony ended to move like he was congratulating people. But there were certain ones he was also slipping a slip of paper to as he moved about. "Konishi Katsuyuki and Jace Kamui from Iwagakure... Oso Tengen and Kairi Nashiki from Kumogakure... Moku Tiambai and Hotei Kaguya from Kirigakure.... Ki Kankuro and Niten Doraku from Sunagakure... Vauban Debonair and Kai Dekeima from Yugakure... " Setsuna made a mental note as he met each of these ninja individually, congratulating them and offering them the slip of paper. The instructions were simple. Before departing they needed to all meet for an important announcement. The Uchiha didn't want too much information passed in a solid form like that. There was a back room to the tower that Setsuna had moved to as he waited to see who would arrive. Before everyone arrived, Setsuna took a moment to also summon his friend and comrade, Ku Hitoha. Having been the only other person to witness the terrible things out here first hand, he was a large part of what Setsuna wanted to accomplish as well. As people gathered, Setsuna nodded for Ku to secure the door. He cleared his throat and raised a hand to gesture that everyone should settle in "Alright, you're all here. Good. There is a reason I have called you each here individually of course. This is not some kind of congratulatory party, there will be no happy conclusion here. The information I'm passing onto you all is to be considered top secret. If the wrong person hears this information you could be putting yourselves and your family's in harms way.... Myself and my comrade Hitoha Ku, have witnessed first hand a great evil that is growing under the noses of our kage. I've had friends killed against an immortal army led by a man in golden armor. He's called Saint and his power is overwhelming." Setsuna paced for a moment considering his words carefully. There was certainly a chance these guys would just leave and not want any part of this. It was a risk he was willing to take. "We fought against this immortal army in the land of iron most recently. In response to this growing threat in the shadows... while our respective countries are too caught amidst political and economic tension and turmoil, I am calling togrther an organization of shinobi who not only have the developing skill, but the temperament and talent to move in secret to prepare to combat this growing threat. Our nation's may currently be divided over petty squabbles but compared to the things we have witnessed these mean little. If you wish to be prepared, then I call to you, no I beg of you... come together and fight alongside me. We will become Tsume, the talon that grips the darkness that would threaten peace and prosperity." Setsuna motioned dramatically and slammed his hand upon the podium he was speaking from. "It is the place of every shinobi to protect those who cannot protect themselves. We subject ourselves to hellish training and break ourselves in the pursuit of strength. I challenge you to this task grow and cultivate power. Become the strongest version of yourselves. And togrther we can get ahead of this threat before our respective Kage are overwhelmed by the situation. So if you would see what I see... feel as I feel... Seek - as I seek... then I ask you each to stand beside me. Not as ninja from hidden villages but people who would protect everything precious. Stand beside me to wage a hidden campaign on the evil that has not yet come to light." Setsuna began handing out scrolls as he spoke. When he became quiet from his dramatic speech, he returned to the b front of the room. "This is the equivalent of an S-Rank mission with intervillage collaboration. Each of these scrolls should you choose to accept my offer, will provide you more instructions on what is to come. If you do not wish to put yourself in such a position I understand. The scrolls will of course reverse summon in 24 hours if unopened. It is my hope and wish, that together we will be able to become strong enough to defeat the threat I have seen... those who accept... we will meet one week following the conclusion of the chuunin exams. The scrolls will have more information on how that is going to be accomplished. For now, think deeply on your decisions. It is not one to be taken lightly." Setsuna turned and departed the room as he headed back to the main common area. He took a deep breath and let it out again. He had tried and the rest was on his fellow shinobi. Could they overcome the distrust and hatred inherent in their society to accomplish something amazing? "Did I just sentence the top genin prospects across the world to a painful death by what we have told them?" Setsuna felt a bit of anxiety at the thought. He knew relying on others would be the only way this ended with any kind of positivity bit his natural incination was to shoulder the burden himself alongside Ku. |

All of the Genin dispersed from Setsuna's little meeting back to their friends and comrades, each keeping their mouths shut. It was something they would have to live with, and make a decision at some point. Making their way back into the fold, the groups were approached by their proctors. Hawashi slapped Ku on the back and smiled broadly at him, Tsutsubatsu and BLACK joining them with the Konoha shinobi. Once everyone was gathered, Genma said a few more words. "Remember. One month." With that, the proctors all nodded, and simultaneously completed handseals before everything poofed up in smoke. The whole of the crowd disappearing, massively reverse summoned back to their respective locations. |
