Things haven’t been going so smoothly for the Uchiha ever since she hopped off of that stupid train that brought her to this frozen wasteland. Seemingly already creating a pair of enemies, it was safe to say that the girl was quite the handful, but to add onto her problems, she had managed to injure herself a bit as she trained in solitary away from many other of the competitors. A sigh escaped her lips as she sat serenely on the cushioned practice table that was typically found in health clinics and things of the sort. The pain wasn’t bad, as it was more annoying than anything, still Kazui sat with her arm outstretched as the medic began rebandaging her hand.

"You’ll be fine by tomorrow morning, just take it easy. I know you might have a lot to prove in these exams, but there’s no reason to exert yourself so much. Especially so close to the start of the first round.”

The older teen said with a smile as he put the finishing touches on the girl’s bandaging. There wasn’t much wrong with her other than a few scraps, cuts, and bruises on her hand, most of which were sustained previously before she had even gotten on the ship to come to Yukigakure. Still she managed to aggravate it, and so she found herself in the clinic, where basic medics who were working the exams could get a bit of practice in before things got underway. With those words being said, the boy would take his leave, leaving the girl to her own thoughts. The room was spacious and was suited for a handful of competitors to be treated at once by multiple medical professionals. It was more like a rehabilitation center than anything, but still it was quite nice to have.

Dark hues however rested on her hand as she repeatedly opened and closed it, staring into her palms as she admired the fresh new bandages. Nevertheless, the girl would fall back and plop her back onto the cushioned table, a heavy sigh escaped her breath as she did so. With the exams drawing closer and closer, things were beginning to weigh heavily on the kunoichi’s mind. From the pressure she felt from her clan back at home, to the fact that she had a chance to push herself to the next level. It all plagued her thoughts, despite her scarily calm demeanor. A puff from her lips would blow the black strands of hair from her face as her eyes looked up towards the ceiling. ’What would Satoshi-San say right about now?’ The girl would question herself internally.

"Troublesome.”

She would say softly, pinching the bridge of her nose as she sighed yet again. It was an outright imitation of the older Nara, but only because she knew that the two of them were a bit similar when it came to their demeanor, and besides he wasn’t a bad role model. Her arms fell gently to her side as the sound of the door opening grabbed her attention. ’Hm?’ She hummed to herself as her eyes remained focused on whoever was entering the facility.

How does a hole in her clothes equate to this? Why the hell did was she sent here? Kunikunosaku needed to get out of there, needed to go cool down, to soak in the Springs, just go somewhere. Even seeing doctors here was troublesome, it was annoying. Kunikunosaku reached for the door handle and opened it. Walking begrudgingly into the facility. To this day, she doesn't know where her room is, she knows she at least got one. Clan Elders put something in her luggage apparently, and the girl just never cared to look, soon, that'll change. The facility was clean, almost too clean. Pulling her half face mask up, concealing her entire lower face, the girl cautiously looked around.

Walking into the main lobby, Kunikunosaku saw an intricate sight, a girl sprawled on the table. Her hand twitched at the sight, almost feeling the beating pattern of what she could sense. She is right there, you literally can't ask for a better chance. Just get in there, take it out, and we'll feel so much better. Jiongu growled, almost telling, causing the Genin to rub one side of her head with her right hand. "What the hell are you doing?" Kunikunosaku asked, uncertain why everyone was so fucking odd. That one girl, odd. Those Suna shinobis, odd. That Kiri punk, alien odd. That Konoha chick, too old, too strange. Whoever this was, just why. Even her teammate was unnatural!

Kunikunosaku walked up to the sprawled girl, "Get up, and tell me, enlighten me. What?" The white haired Genin asked, more demanded. Arms coming to over each other and hiding the hole on her gi that looked like some spike went through, but if Kazui saw the hole prior, she'd notice no blood, no fleshy hole, not even a scar. It would be a question but at this point, Kunikunosaku didn't even care, she'd love to tear a hole through someone, quiet his screaming.

Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Gentle eyes fell upon the young girl as she entered the facility and the room that Kazui was in. Out of all the places in the building she found her way directly to the Uchiha. The girl’s dark gaze followed the random kunoichi as she approached closer, rubbing the side of her head as if she were fighting a few demons within her mind. Kazui wouldn’t think much of it, it was common among most people especially those who took up this line of profession. Nevertheless, the Uchiha’s demeanor was more curious than anything, but the blank stare that she was giving the other girl was at least a bit welcoming if nothing else.

Kazui wasn’t expecting such a response from the stranger, in all honesty, the girl looked sweet and innocent, however that wasn’t the case. The welcoming demeanor that Kazui wore in hopes of not coming off as a prick, quickly turned into one of disdain as the words fell upon her ears. Scoffing behind her breath, the leaf kunoichi turned her eyes back towards the ceiling as if Kuni wasn’t worth her time, even as the stranger grew closer.

"Is that how you greet people? Where you’re from, is that a common thing?”

The girl voiced through a soft whisper, yet the disappointment could be heard in her tone as well. It’s not like she cared at this point, as far as she knew, everyone in these exams were complete assholes, including herself even. But Kazui wasn’t running around being rude just for the sake of it, she was actually quite the opposite (sort of). If she didn’t have anything to say, then she just didn’t respond. A lot of people weren’t fond of that, but that’s just how she was.

Her eyes slowly drifted over towards the kunoichi yet again before she sat upright on the table as if it were a saddle, her feet hanging loosely over the sides.

"Why do you care so much about what I’m doing? I’m minding my own business.”

Well, it was true. She hadn’t bothered anyone since that incident the day after everyone arrived in Byakuya. Nevertheless, here she was having answers demanded from her as if she were some child. It was funny.

"Maybe you should focus on getting that stitched up.”

Kazui would say softly as she pointed at the girl’s shirt. The tear didn’t seem common and it didn’t line up with any attack marks or anything. There was no blood, no scar. It was just a hole, as if something had been driven through the gi.

”You look ghastly and neglected.”

"Only as common as the lazy lowlifes that plague my home." The Takigakure genin instinctively reacted, eyes locked on whoever this bitch was. Kunikunosaku's eyes trained and focused even harder as this girl rose, her next words sequentially followed one another, allowing no pause for Kuni to interject, so, she remained, constantly glaring at this lazy ... not even breaking contact when she emphasized that she needed to fix a certain hole, pointing at the woundless wound. The Mikatakujira moved her arms, no point in hiding it. "Yeah, took care of that already." Kunikunosaku walked forward, the air around the two had enough friction, one could quite literally grill a steak.

"You're here to get to Chūnin, right? Act like it or go the fuck home. The world needs less trash on it and more people who actually give a damn." No joy in her expression, not even disappointment. Just a dead face and nothing more. Kuni proceeded to lift two fingers up. In an all too similar dead and dry tone, the Mikatakujira helped the idiot by giving her choices. "You have two choices, fix that damn head of yours and act like you are worth something or for the love of god take your trash self back to your scummy home and leave the actual work for the actual soldiers." Kuni held her stance and her gaze with a lock on the presumable Genin.

Kuni's raised fingers only let her hand twitch visible, like a small muscle spasm from all the hate in her; regardless of it, she waged each finger alternatively. "Need me to explain it simpler for your dumbass?"

Oh, The Places We'll Go "Explain what again? I missed most of it!" Moment music Coming in through the door fully, the young Sunagakure nin would take a bite into her apple, munching slowly as she walked up to the small group, a grin on her face as she looked them over. While she had only come in at the tail-end of their interaction, it certainly didn't sound too friendly. In fact, it looked like it might turn into a brawl within the clinic, which no one would like that. For one thing, it was against the rules... "Oooh what happened to you two? I just scrapped my knees up a bit sliding down the village! Its so cool! The ice and all that! Not to mention how you can just turn off on your hands and knees without even needing a push!!" Her excitement beamed from her cheeks as she then tossed the apple within her hand, taking another bite into it as she munched slightly. From there, she'd hop up on the table next to Kazui, her smile remaining along with her usual demeanor of energy and cheer. Ayukawa was hardly one to hold a grudge against anyone, or to try and get into someone to brighten up their day a little more. If anything, she didn't want to see her friend get into a fight for no reason. "Have you guys seen the snow mounds!? Their super huge! Too bad we can't go further out than the training grounds to get the real Yuki no kuni experience right? I wonder how their mountains look? Do they even have mountains!? What about their fields!? What kind of animals live out here? Penguins...Bears?" Holding her hands up and curling her fingers into claws, she'd show her teeth as if she were a predator, biting them up and down as if she were such a creature. After her mild joke, the girl would extend her hand out as she continued to smile. "Hi! I'm Saeko Ayukawa! Nice to meet you!" SPOILER: Click to show -Jutsu Used- -S.A Used- Lion's Sleep Hunter instincts and experience on the hunt have granted Ayukawa insight into the minds of the prey she encounters. Animalistic encounters have allowed her to track and be capable of following those that she intends to target, at times giving her brief, but small insight into their intentions. While not fully developed, they allow for her to be less than likely to be caught off guard in a extreme moment, but it isn't as developed as one with further experience in the art.

It seemed as if even when Kazui went the relatively calm and safer route, trouble sought her out. After already having gotten in trouble with two mist shinobi, it seemed as if whoever the hell this was was trying to pick a fight with her as well. Who the hell was she to speak to her like that? Thoughts ran through the Uchiha’s mind as she focused her eyes on the ground beneath her dangling feet. She didn’t pay the girl any mind, and in fact she would treat the stranger as if she weren’t even there. Looking at her bandaged hand, the girl would continuously open and close the palm of her hand. Oh how good it would feel to use it to slap the kid across the face. However, she knew how much trouble she would get in, so the girl remained stoic. Groaning as she flopped back onto the table as she laid across it. "Yeah … whatever. I don’t care.” Kazui scoffed softly in response.

As her lips spoke the response to the stranger, the sound of the door opening gathered the teen’s attention, causing her to turn her head to face the door. It was no other than Ayukawa. ‘What the hell.’ The kid thought to herself as she listened to the Suna girl go on and on. As if the crazy, homeless looking, Taki bitch wasn’t pissed enough at Kazui just existing, then she surely would have a reason to be annoyed now. Why was she here? Kazui didn’t know that Ayukawa was participating in these exams, nevertheless it was still good to see a familiar face, even if she could be quite annoying.

Returning to her upright position, she would give the girl a place to sit down beside her. As far as Ayukawa’s constant barrage of questions and useless statements went, Kazui would ignore most of it as she normally does, instead she would only reply to the question of why they were there. "I scraped my hand up..nothing too bad.” The girl would say quietly, showing her friend the bandaging as they sat shoulder to shoulder.

The noise of a third voice caused the girl to instinctively fold her arms over one another, hiding at least the exit hole on her gi. Guess that means enough yelling at this worm, for now. Almost flashing a murderous stare at Kazui, a nonchalant one moved to the door, that seemingly fit given who came through. Kunikunosaku simply watched as that one Suna girl appeared. Better cover the streets, snow eater's here. The white haired girl thought in remembrance of their earlier meeting. If it could even be called that. Bored eyes watched the tan girl as she asked what happened to them. "Just a minor fall, don't worry about it." A hand raised barely any as if to wave the subject through.

"Can't say I have, let us know if there are any." The Taki Genin instinctually said, she wasn't as aggravating as Wasurete but so much more talkative. Almost as much as she used to be before it happened, maybe more. It's been so long since she has been in the corner of her mind that she still has slight trouble remembering everything prior to that event. The Taki Genin's ears perked when the Suna Genin introduced herself as Saeko Ayukawa. Ayu-kawa. Saeko... Ayukawa... got it. Kunikunosaku nodded in denial. "I don't shake hands, but I am Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku." The Genin said, not slowing down nor over-enunciating the name. Complete expectance she would fully understand the name without aid despite every time, not one actually got it all the first go-around from what the girl could remember. But they could surprise her.

Looking in the sloth's direction, "And you?"

Oh, The Places We'll Go "Ohhhh germ thing right? I getcha...don't worry though! I washed my hands!" Showing both her palms as she grinned, she was happy to see that Kazui was possibly making some kind of friend. Even though it appeared that both were a bit hostile toward each other. With the shorter of the three introduced as Kuni, she appeared to be shifting the attention on to Kazui, leading to her leaning into the Konoha nin as she poked her lightly with her finger. Maybe if they all got to know each other, they could all go and look around together..at least..after they all got patched up. Kazui said that her injuries weren't all that bad, which was a great thing, but she couldn't really tell with Kuni. Though the way she seemed to quickly try and cover her chest, it might have had something to do with that. Still, just to be sure that they could all play nice, Ayukawa went on ahead to introduce her friend wit a grin. "Her name's Kazui!" Letting her legs dangle from side to side, she'd then around as she could see that there were few others in the room at the moment, so it did allow for some talking at the very least. Though perhaps that was just her own thinking, munching on her apple once again as she chewed and swallowed slowly. "How are they able to grow anything out there is crazy, but it tastes sooooo goooodddddd...want some?" Gesturing the apple to Kuni, she figured that an offering of food might help with the mood, but then quickly realized that if she were avoiding germs, she'd be less interested in taking something that already had bite marks. So, almost in a panic, the girl would pull the offering away, then drawing out a new one from her pocket and offering that one instead. "Don't worry! I got plenty! The banquet they have in their hotel is amazing! I haven't seen that much pork since my tenth birthday! Not to mention the fish! Oh oh! And the bean buns!! Ah!! Oh! Ya want one too Kazui!?"

Dark hues slowly fell upon the shorter girl as Kazui’s eyes narrowed, a cold stare casted over the child as the Uchiha continued to squeeze her hand repeatedly. Why was she so interested in her name now? When Kazui was minding her own business, the first thing this brat did was nag at her like an old lady. Fuck that. She didn’t deserve to know her name. Negative thoughts flooded the teen’s mind as she simply scoffed at the little brat and averted her eyes away from the kid.

There was no intention of sharing anything with this clown, but of course Ayukawa wanted to play peacekeeper and be friendly with everyone. Kazui just looked at the girl as she spoke her name. "Of course” Kazui thought to herself as she lowered her gaze to her feet hanging below. It seemed as if wherever she went, a new enemy was made, why were they fucking with her of all people. Gently clenching her fist, Kazui would listen to Ayukawa go on and on about nothing of importance, she couldn’t act surprised though, the girl was used to her senseless babbling.

"You sure do talk a lot, Ayukawa.” She voiced softly as she continued to fiddle with the bandaging around her hand. There was no malicious tone, in fact Ayukawa should be used to the way Kazui spoke as of now, considering their time spent together. A sigh escaped her lips as the Suna girl brought up bean buns, Kazui was thankful but she honestly didn’t want anything at the moment.

"No thank you.”

She said to the girl. While this transpired, the Uchiha would never turn to face the other child. Treating the girl as if she weren’t even there, the teen would ignore her faithfully until given a reason not to.

Attention was now hyper-focused on Ayukawa, especially as she tried to rationalize Kuni's dismay in shaking hands. The girl didn't know that the Genin would kill her, heartbeats felt stronger here, thus so much more appetizing. Whoever Ayukawa was to her, she leaned to the slouch as if trying to make her come out of her daze into the living. If the walking corpse was trying to interact, this thing should at least, after all, she looked too alive to act dead. If anyone had that right, it was Kuni herself. The Saeko chick took no time to reveal Kazui's name to which Kuni looked at her with an unimpressed expression. The rest of what the girl had to say made Kuni rather shocked to hear. Rather, the gesture Ayukawa made caused Kuni to shake her head in denial.

"I'm sure they have special facilities, soil must be rough here." The Mikatakujira stated, not even certain of her words but at least giving some answer. "Sorry, not a fan of eating anything." Kuni just observed the two, contemplating on leaving. But a question silently crept up the girl's throat. "Hey, Ayukawa, question, Kazui, I want your opinion too. What do you two think you mean to each other? Then I want the other to honestly answer what they think."

Kuni was taking this chance to use something, anything against them. They maybe neutral now but when the clock starts, they are all enemies here. Bonds were a fickle thing here, so easy to break, so easy to build.

Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Oh, The Places We'll Go "Hehehe...I guess I do...Though really its just how I am!" It wouldn't be the first time someone told her that, yet it was really a sign of how comfortable she was around someone when she did talk. Likely, if Kazui wasn't here right now, she'd have probably attempted small talk, yet maybe not get so far. Already her offer of sharing her food had been declined, which usually was a sure fire way to get to know someone. Yet at the idea of the village having the means of creating food with facilities for it, the youth would open her mouth and nod as she replaced the apple back in her pocket. Kazui didn't seem interested in the fruit either, leaving Ayukawa to simply shrug as she continued to enjoy her own. "Special facilities like what? Farms? Labs? Secret basement labs in the arctic chill? So wicked..." This was all speculation, though the girl would lean back slightly upon the patient bed, her hand resting against the cushion as she continued to chew. But as she continue to blissful sway her legs back and forth at the end, her expression would shift to a big of confusion at the question being presented. What was Kazui and her to each other? That was a bit weird, but after swallowing, the girl would grin as she laughed lightly. "She's my friend! We've gone a whole lotta missions together! Finding special flowers...fighting wild and dangerous beasts! Even helped a little girl lost in the desert!" It was mostly true, but she didn't go into details about just what each mission was for. After all, they were missions for a reason...hush hush and all that. "Plus! Shes pretty awesome in her own way...even if she can be a bit quiet at times...Still, friends are great to have..even when their different from each other! Those are the best ones! Right?" Looking to Kazui, the girl would continue to smile as she then returned her sights back to Kuni. "Did that help answer the question? Wait...was that supposed to be a trick question? Oh man! If so, then I really botched it! I hate quizzes..." Narrowing her eyes to pout, she lamented over the times she had to take written exams. Those were indeed her worst nightmares at the academy. SPOILER: Click to show -Jutsu Used- -S.A Used- Lion's Sleep Hunter instincts and experience on the hunt have granted Ayukawa insight into the minds of the prey she encounters. Animalistic encounters have allowed her to track and be capable of following those that she intends to target, at times giving her brief, but small insight into their intentions. While not fully developed, they allow for her to be less than likely to be caught off guard in a extreme moment, but it isn't as developed as one with further experience in the art.

The girl gently laughed behind a scoff as she listened to Ayukawa agree that she was a bit on the talkative side. A slight smile remained on the girl’s face as she looked at her comrade, she couldn’t be upset at the girl for it was just how she was. Kazui herself was actually a bit talkative herself at one point in time, but clearly that has long since changed. Now she was much more on the quiet and conservative side, well it mostly just depended on who she was holding a conversation with.

"I wouldn’t be surprised if they simply just imported their goods.” She added on softly to what both Taki and Ayukawa were saying. The snow was a beautiful sight to behold, but it definitely had to be a pain in the ass trying to get anything to grow. The cold was never anything that forgave easily, and since the land of snow had been known for quite some time, the girl was sure they’ve been struggling with that issue forever. Sighing underneath her breath, Kazui’s dark hues would drift lower, her focus remaining on the floor as dark strands of hair hung by her face. With things starting to kick off, she was sure that all the genin would be forced to face the elements, which was shitty enough on its own, but they would also have to fight for their life as well.

Beginning to lose thought and fade from the conversation at hand, less due to the fact that she was uninterested and more so because her mind was wandering, trying to figure out ways she could go about the exams without even knowing the details of them. Scenarios played in her mind over and over until the brat spoke of her name, causing the girl to slowly raise her head to see what the hell she wanted.

What did they mean to each other? Well that answer would require Kazui to dig deep into her feelings. In honesty, Ayukawa was just another girl, a familiar face with no true ties to her heart, an acquaintance. She wouldn’t exactly consider her a friend but she definitely wouldn’t treat the girl how she treated other people, the girl mattered enough to her where she wouldn’t let anything happen to her if it came down to it. Kazui would stand up for her, but at any time she could cut their bonds and it wouldn’t truly hurt the Uchiha much.

A sigh escaped her breath as Ayukawa’s words were spoken. She thought of her as a friend, but Kazui was sure she thought of everyone in the same light. Ayukawa was just a bright person who didn’t really care about the response people gave her, she would keep talking and force them to get along with her. Shrugging her shoulders, Kazui’s gaze would return to her bandaging. Did she owe this kid an answer absolutely not, so her silence would remain. "Hmm.” She hummed. Nodding her head, the girl would simply ride on the coattails of Ayukawa’s answer.

"Something like that.” She added on.

For the first time, Kuni flashed a half smile and nodded at the two upon hearing the things they had to say to each other. "No, no test Ayukawa, just curious and running out of topic to talk about." Kunikunosaku stretched her neck. "Well, Kazui, Ayukawa, it was a great pleasure talking to you! But, I think I should get going. I got stitched up earlier and was actually on my way out." Kuni's eyes focused hard on Kazui and non chalantly on Ayukawa. "You remind me of my teammate and my younger self, which is odd." The midget admitted to Ayukawa.

"If you still desire to talk, I guess I'll stick; if not, good luck in the Exams." The girl stated in a monotone pitch. Turning her back to the two in an attempt to exit, forgetting the spike ripped a hole on both sides of her gi. Not that it mattered, it too was as healed as the one Kazui saw prior.

Oh, The Places We'll Go "Okay good" While it may not have been a test, Ayukawa still seemed to be waiting for an answer as it was now left to Kazui to speak. Though rather than give something a bit more heart-felt, it was a simple confirmation that things between the two, at least from her point of few were similar to what she had described. That, while not much, was good enough. At least enough so that Ayukawa would clap her hands together as she leaned into the girl before then pulling back with a grin. "Knewwww itttttt" Though their friendship aside, it appeared that Kuni had only asked out of lack of any real topics to speak of, which seemed like an odd thing to do to get someone to say something. Still, with that in mind, she appeared ready to take her leave now, prompting her to turn as she began to make a way toward the exit. Yet as she looked in her direction once more, she'd state how she reminded her of one of her teammates, and a younger version of herself. That...for once today, left Ayukawa would rather confused expression on her face as she raised her brow before seeing the hole on the other side of the shirt as she began to walk out. "Wait...two holes in her shirt and no scars on her back? Soo weird..." The comment was more of a whisper if anything else, leading to the Suna nin look at Kazui and then back at the departing Kuni.

"Yeah, whatever.” She retorted softly as she looked at the kid. At this point, she didn’t care about the girl or her company. She had already determined the girl was a nutjob and there was no reason to keep her presence around. Ayukawa was annoying, but she never passed the girl off and the more time that the two spent with one another the more Kazui normalized listening to her constant babble and goofy demeanor.

"Good luck.”

With the exams just around the corner, Kazui wished everyone the best since she had no true ill intentions within her heart, however when things kicked off it would be a different story. She would do anything in her power to finish what she started. For not only the Uchiha clan, but Kazuto, Miho, Yusuke, and Hiruko as well. They were the ones who pushed her, so they would always get the most out of the girl. Listening to the suna kunoichi whisper to herself, Kazui was able to comprehend what she had said. Kuni was weird not only her personality, but the way she carried herself and her energy as well. Part of Kazui could feel the animosity radiating from every pore of the brats body. She wondered why that was the case, maybe that’s just how Taki shinobi were trained. Nevertheless, something was up with the kid...something strange. Perhaps they would find out soon. Eyes followed the kunoichi out of the door before Kazui returned her attention to Ayukawa. "Don’t worry about it.” She murmured.

"Let’s get you patched up.” Kazui said as she turned on the table and rang the bell that was placed neatly on the counter beside the training table. From there a medic would enter through a side door where most of the medical professionals did their paperwork.
