Fallen Blades' Eighth Semiannual Chuunin Exams!

Round One: Survival Portion

After a long trip to the tip of the world, it's time we start these exams and you'll soon learn the trip is truly just beginning. The very first round will be a survival test and it'll be solely upon yourself to survive. An unknown environment awaits you which could contain any number of dangers and concern. It'll be up to you to use your knowledge, survival skills and adaptability.

In order to participate in round one, you'll need to post below turning in all of your equipment and choosing from a list of provided equipment. Your character will have been notified ahead of time, so any unique equipment, personal familiars and so on can be turned over to a trusted individual. Once you've given up your equipment, you'll be given a uniform to wear for potentially the remainder of the exam.

Your given outfit will consist of a short sleeved shirt, shorts and shinobi sandals. On top of this you'll be allowed your headband and underwear, but once you've changed into the outfit, you'll be turning in your normal outfit as well.

You'll also be awarded 500 credits, you'll use these credits to purchase equipment for the exam. This equipment might also be kept for the remainder of the exam, so be careful what you choose. As for round one it'll be an actual survival test, in that you're introduced to an environment and expected to survive for four days. You maybe forced to go from round to round as well, so while surviving try to remember it may or may not effect your round two and three experience.

[Shisen, Wasurete]

WASURETE

If there was one thing Wasurete didn't expect, it was that he'd be the first to arrive. Wasurete already didn't like this situation. He knew broadly what to expect when he got to this god forsaken exam, but the idea that he wouldn't have his bells is what worried him. When he arrived at this desolate place he didn't imagine he'd be separated from his most important trick, the thing that he found most encapsulating about his techniques. When Wasurete garnered information about this portion of the exams, his original strategy banked on his teammates. Further and further inspection of the rules lead him away from that strategy however. He didn't know what else to expect when the time came.     He and his teammates could be hundreds of miles away from one another when this begins, meaning that buying equipment to use with one another was useless. He'd have to worry about buying everything he needed for personal survival. He would have to ration out these credits wisely, so that he could make sure that he'd have everything needed to survive in whatever type of environment was about to ensnare the youth.  He would be without his fine garments, without his bells, without his regular equipment and, as he had only just learnt, without his eye patch.     This was somehow a fairly humanizing moment for the shinobi who was commonly a psychopath. He had worn this eyepatch for years. He never showed people the wound left by his elder clan mate. But as he gave his eyepatch to the proctor, the hole where is right eye should be was clear. And the mystique of his hidden eye was lost. Before he planned to lie, to say that his eye was replaced, and hope that others would assume he had some sort of dojutsu there now. This strategy would hopefully still work, as the first thing he bought, while keeping his hand covering his eye the whole time, was a sash.      He quickly tied the sash around his head, covering that wound once again to regain the mystique it once had. This test would also mean that for the next four days he'd likely be without the proper equipment to clean his eye. So clean, filtered water would be a must. With that in mind what he looked at next was a canteen, thinking storage of water would be of upmost importance. He figured a full uniform set was an important thing as well, he had no way to counteract the cold, so clothing was a must. The coat, the boots, the pants, the gloves. Nothing less was going to do.           Keeping warm would require fire as well however. So flint and tinder were next on the young boys list. he presumed the need for only one. He hoped there'd be wood, and that he could turn that wood into more tinder. But if he at least had one, he could try and make it last. The youth was more used to throwing Senbon than Shuriken, but a long range weapon seemed it would be necessary, and since senbon weren't an option, he'd grab a few of them as well. He needed something to set a trap for opponents as well, and while they seemed expensive, he bought two explosive tags, and a spool of ninja wire, so that he could lay a trap if necessary.      Food seemed another major hurdle to overcome. One chicken, if spaced properly, was 4 days worth of food. So the price there was no question.          Smoke bombs would be escape, so grabbing a few of them seemed a useful find as well. Storing things over a distant with a side satchel would be useful, instead of leaving everything in pockets.     The last thing Wasurete needed was some actual hard hitting weaponry. Something for close range, and something that, more useful for Wasurete, could be used from a distance, and out of sight. He bought a Hand Axe for up close confrontations, as he thought it seemed simple enough to use. And he chose the crossbow over the bow, as he didn't trust his ability to use the later effectively. He spent the rest of his money on the ammo for that cross bow. He felt he could at least somewhat competently hold his own.

Words: 000 Notes: 

[Kaguya Toru]

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you @--

Several things happened, unexpectedly - first the stripping of all equipment and clothing. Then the dictation of rules and expectations. Toru was given five hundred credits to make due for the next four days, then several distinctly uniform items. Four days of survival in the snow did not seem very appealing, but he had survived before, he had survived his entire life. So he prepared smartly.

The first thing was to deal with the cold outside, shorts, shinobi sandals, and a tee-shirt would simply not do. He would begin with the outfit. Taking the winter coat, the snow pants, a belt, gloves, boots, and a scarf for its general versatility, he would need to be smart as sweat turned to ice and could kill just as quickly as the cold. Once he was certain that the items that he wore were enough for him to survive the next four days he would continue on towards the next set of items.

The backpack came next. He felt, despite it's slightly higher price it would be able to carry all of the items he needed and with the straps, he could utilize it further. So, following the backpack, he would begin to accumulate what he could put inside, and outside of it as well as on his own person. Four sets of flint and tinder would go into the bottom of the backpack, four days meant four fires, for four meals. A metal canteen for water went after that, it would not be needed for immediate access, but it would be necessary. Then he would take a cooking pot, this would fit well into the backpack, about half the space but it still meant he could put more in if he desired... Probably bits and pieces of that chicken he was going to butcher.

For navigation, a compass in his snow trousers, and a watch upon his wrist. He would always be able to know where he was, where he was going, and what time of day it was.

He would also grab a sleeping bag, and utilizing the straps of it and the backpack make it so that it fits on top of the backpack itself, making it as a part of the backpack instead of worrying about it being cumbersome throughout the journey - though sleeping bags were generally rather light so he was not worried about it being extremely heavy.

In the end, he would think about combat, ironic for the kind of youth that he was, but he knew that survival did not always mean combat. In this instance, he would grab a sword, what he felt was the most versatile weapon for him and something that he had relied on to fight and train to this point. Then, two smoke bombs that would fit into the opposite pocket of his snow pants from where the compass was - these exclusively if he needed to escape.

Finally, as previously mentioned he would take a chicken. This he would not keep alive, but rather butcher as quickly as he was allowed so that he could stretch the meat out for four days, and with how cold it was, he was certain that the meat would keep too. If at any point he was worried he could use the cold of the metal from the metal canteen to cool it down.

And with that, he was still left with some points, but he didn't need to spend them all he was certain that he could make it with what he had now and the terrain he was about to endure.

"Why should I apologize for the monster I have become? No one ever apologized for making me this way.”

NOTES!
Triggers for Kunikunosaku:
"Kunikunosaku", "Puritiwan", "Nezumi", "Mikatakujira", "Dream", "Pest", "Star", "Better", "Who".
Triggers for Zangyaku kōi:
"Hearts"; "Zangyaku kōi"; "Bitch"; "Kunekune"; "Monster"; "Shrimp"; "Pint"; and "Brat".

It warranted a laugh, not an internal one a full, boisterous, semi-psychotic laugh. Kunikunosaku finally got around to picking her room's mail barely a day after finding it, she received an announcement for the CEs. It was a survival test, one they were probably were separated from, while this was good and all, Kunikunosaku could let loose. She worried immensely about the state of her teammates. Hopefully, they know they can't and quit or pass beautifully, dying was not an option. It better they realize that before they die trying. The rules make it honorable, they may lose out becoming shinobi but alls fair in war, even war with prompts. Kunikunosaku mused on the sheet carefully. Surrender the old, gain the new equipment. Smart shopping may be what it is called, or it may be something that could be called frugal shopping, whatever was what you fancy calling it, Kunikunosaku prepared to go report to the exam's prep station. This was all for the sake of giving it up. Frankly, everything was for the sake of giving it up.

Everything was taken to the station, Kunikunosaku saw there was a few already here, even Wasurete. Still, she was handed a set of clothes. Really? These? Fine. Kunikunosaku thought as she took the pile into the restroom. A few minutes passed before a shout was heard, "EVERYTHING?!" A standstill occurred before a solemn 'Fine', escaped the restroom. More clothing dropped and replaced as Kuni finally stepped out. One could say it was more than her usual clothing. Kuni just sighed as she turned in her current set. Moving to the catalog, it was time to set her list.

• 01 | Side Satchels/li] = 50
  [li]02 | Compass
• 01 | Scarf
• 10 | Kunai
• 10 | Shuriken
• 05 | Explosive Tags
• 02 | Smoke Bombs
• 01 | Flash Bomb

Total spent = 500 Credits.

Kunikunosaku had no clue if she'll get it now or no man's land. But, it was done. Kunikunosaku walked over to Wasurete, hugging him. "Don't die." Her parting words indicated her leave as well, not wanting to see anyone's face nor have anyone see hers, she raised the scarf offered here nonetheless to cover her lower face. Tears were impossible, but if he had any, her eyes glossed over.

This was a requiem for a dream or for a nightmare.

SA(S) USED:
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.

// Zakku //

I know I'm part of something greater than myself
Don't know the meaning, but I hope that matters less
I don't know anyone affected without a skill
I know I'm part of something greater than myself

@tag .

Zakku thought he'd prepared for everything from the new warmer clothes to adding new equipment to his arsenal.  He wasn't prepared to be relieved of it all.  500 credits for new equipment?  It'd be enough but he'd have to put a lot of thought into what he purchased and for what.  As he handed his stuff over he left his headband hanging lazily around his neck.  

Finally after all this time.  After getting kicked out for drinking many chuunin exams ago, being abandoned by his team mates, forced to do months of wall duty, watching his fellow academy alumni advance and grow while he stayed behind.  It'd weighed heavily on him for years now he'd finally advanced.  He'd made his way to these exams for a reason.  To become Chuunin and aid Suna in anyway he could.  

Zakku finished dressing in the clothes provided and tied his grey Suna headband proudly.  His blue hair pulled out of both eyes he began putting the pieces together for his survival.  He was going to need the coat and pants along with a belt. Gloves and Boots were and obvious next on the list. A watch, Compass, and Cooking Pot should finish his survival needs.  Was he forgetting something?  The Water Canteen along with his Backpack and Side pouch.  The Damdn sleeping bag as well.  How else was he going to carry this stuff?  He was going to need that. The chicken should last him long enough though he'd have to kill it early so he could store the meat.  It's noise would give him away as well.  He was going to hate that.

Now he needed to figure out his Combat Survival.  Weapons we're going to be a must.  Zakku knew he'd have to defend himself or kill for survival.  A Spear would be great at keeping distance.  Some Flash Bombs would be great at keeping enemies back or creating him a quick escape.  Shuriken and Kunai he was already well acquainted with so he was going to need those.  A Tanto would be good in case someone got too close.  He'd keep that within reach no matter where he went.  Everything should be in order. for now.  Zakku was ready.

[Senju Miho]

2020 Summer Chunin Exams:round 1

To be taken so far into the wilderness, this part of the exam was clearly to test the endurance and survival capabilities of the group and see how they would fair in a situation similar to this. One where gear was limited, conditions were horrid, and if you weren't aware of your surroundings you could just as easily get lost. Four days....they had to last for days...Miho had to last for four days. But more than that, she'd have to be careful of any possible dangers that loomed in such a place. But first things first...she had to make sure the supplies she had were correct..or at least enough so that she could make it. It would start with a winter coat, snow pants, gloves, scarf, and boots. The need to keep warmth out in the cold a vital thing, and as a medic, she was more than aware of the consequences that could come from such lack of care. The equipment was next. She had done enough training in the wild to know that a weapon was important. But the size of it was important due to the weight involved. Kunai would be the smarter choice, along with a means of projectiles for long distance hunting. Fire was vital as well, but she was more than able to supply that on her own so there was no need for flint or tinder. Once she was in the wild, she could gather wood to provide for that. Five Kunai and ten Shuriken. Three Smoke bombs for the worst possible situation, a compass for guidance, a metal canteen for holding water. A sleeping bag for when she set up camp for those cold nights, along with a item pouch and backpack to carry it all. With this now completed, she'd select a military ration pill for emergency, ending with shinobi wire, rope, cooking pot and finally a poncho for possible rain and two walkie talkies. This was her choice for survival. Though admittedly, she questioned even if such options would last through the experience. Only time would tell if it would matter at all. So with that, her gear now resting upon her, packed down and organized, Miho would pull the scarf further over her face as she began her march into the icy cold world.

[Saeko Ayukawa]

Chunin Exams Round One "Choices...choices..." Ayukawa would look over the supplies available to her, honestly knowing that each piece held equal or more value. Four days in an unfamiliar environment, it was the ultimate challenge and the girl couldn't have been happier. Though now came the job of making sure that what she had, was what she needed. It was a similar test to the one she had seen many hunters take within her clan. The idea of having to survive within an area that was dangerous, but still controlled so that there was no real harm done to anyone involved. Of course, the youth couldn't state if such a thing would be the same here. But for now, she'd just prepare and hope for the best. The basic necessities came first. Such as a backpack and an item pouch. What would be the point of getting things if she couldn't carry it? This was then followed by her getting a winter coat, snow pants, along with boots, scarf and gloves. Flint and Tinder was next, five of each to ensure that she didn't freeze out there, with her soon getting to the main gear in which to actually hunt. She had some training with most weapons, but if she were to pick her favorite(Aside from her own fists) she'd definitely stick with Kunai, prompting placing five of them within the backpack, as well as ten shuriken. Water was also important, so she ensured to grab a metal canteen for that, then grabbing rope and shinobi wire as well. A sleeping bag would be the next thing to acquire, along with two smoke bombs and a poncho. All of this was then finalized by her taking a single military ration pill, for in case she wasn't capable of getting anything to eat. With everything now in order, the youth would look out to the distance, a grin upon her face as she could carry these things with ease upon her back, jumping off into the snow white area and into the wilds for her greatest adventure yet.

BRY of W&&R and CAUTION

[Suikazura]

    Suikazura was absolutely unhappy with the start of these exams. She had prepared months and used so much of her savings to buy the equipment that she had acquired in these exams. It was agitating. Adaptability was necessary, survival was necessary. Yet here she was having been stripped the night before by her team leader, rather unhappily. 
    Given the clothes she could wear she had approached the supplies she was allowed to buy and immediately scan out what would be useful for her. Grabbing supplies that she took as absolutely essential first, stuffing the sleeping bag she grabbed wrapping the rope around it to generally give support to the bag. At least for now, she didn't want to seal anything away yet.

[Asuka Waruichi]

During her time in Yukigakure Asuka rather than socialize kept herself laser focused on the exams at hand. Her inner competitor felt as thought if she spent too much time focusing on the competition that she'd end up getting anxious. This was the moment that the youth had been training for and she wasn't going to let go to waste. When she had been informed that she would be unable to utilize her Waruichi cloth she was somewhat worried but also thankful that she had prepared for this by doing a few hunter gatherer excercises with Ikana in order to help her better survive in the wilderness for such a situation. Asuka's body was her primary tool and she herself did well in such enviroments however the added cold and the lack of vegetation was not something she was prepared for.

With her supplies in tow the youth prepared herself for the long slumber, she looked forward to it as a chance to prove herself but also knew she needed to be smart, she came with a small dog that she had adopted from a small shop within the village. And bore a set body armor for any added protection against whomever she may face in the field. She knew she was on her own but had hoped if she encountered allies in the field she could count on their support.

[Okōhime]

"..." She didn't like being disarmed of her belongings. Growing up with little to call her own, she'd long developed a complex towards her blades in particular. Still, she'd have to suffer through future unpleasantries down the line - the chunin exams weren't a vacation camp. "Be careful with these." She spoke - feeling the slack alleviate completely from her shoulder.

The garb given was very misery from general commission. Immediately Okōhime began to understand. She'd build herself up from scratch essentially. Everyone would have their respective creature comforts removed. Through processing she received her allotment of credit to take exactly what she needed to survive out in the cold expanse. The spiderling kept her lazy eyes casting glazed glances over the possible requisitions.

"Groceries" -

She grabbed for a harness¹ to begin her shopping spree, She felt the material over as she clicked it over her chest, she pulled tightly to get the perfect cuff around the other strappings - two around her legs to be exact. Up next she threw a nice strap of weave around her waist, support around her completely with a tight belt^2..

She knew she'd forgo the pants - nuclear option. Instead she reached for a winter coat³ much larger than necessary, she could find a 5xl in the mens apparel. She kept the large overcoat to the side. First draping around her body a large shawl of a pancho⁴.

She smiled cheekily, knowing she had ample amount of coverage to use some sleigh of hand. She was dressed and sufficiently warm enough to her estimation of the climate. She couldn't afford to splurge.

A climbers pickaxe⁵ tied around it's base by a rope⁶ would find a home around the Suiteki's waist. She made a space around her belt for a much needed metal canteen⁷. She had to store her fresh water over the days stretch. A roll of shinobi wire⁸ also made a spot, this one stuck under her shirt. Keeping it on her skin - she could excrete some webbing to gum underneath it for extra support.

Now it came down to the tools of the trade. She needed to maintain a sense of lightness - instead of carrying as many swords she'd opt for four tanto blades⁹ and two regular swords¹⁰ to be sheathed at her side.

For added utility she purchased a side satchel¹¹, keeping inside of it, two flint¹² and two tinder¹³ kit, along with a compass¹⁴ to boot, always good to know where due north was. She shopped onward also picking up a pair of walkie talkies¹⁵ to cram into the satchel.

Up next she selected a fine canine companion¹⁶ from the exam's kennel to assist her in the endeavor she was to take. From the very pick - the Kirigakure kunoichi would dedicate her life for this companion as if it were her own - such was the fate of bonded warriors?

She wrapped a white sleeping bag¹⁷ around the pup and also clip on her harness a small cooking pan¹⁸. Topped off with a pair of gloves¹⁹. Her eyes were now widening with a reinforced focus. The chunin exams had begun!

[aihara ryoko]

"What?!”  Ryoko gasped as she read the rules. Her precious equipment was going to be taken? This was patently unfair. She fumes on the inside as she scans the rules, clearly displeased with this turn of events. The Doomstar, trusted friend and companion. She’d have to leave it aside. She didn’t need it for survival, but she still liked having it nearby. Just carrying the thing around was a part of her daily workout. She’d be free without its extra weight and inconvenience, but she’d miss it.

Beneath her hood her brows knit together, frustration growing inside. That was the catch: her hood. Even her teammates had never seen her face. Only once had it slipped off, and she caught before anyone saw. Her sensei saw her once, and her family knows her well, but over the past years she had grown fond of her outfit. It was who she was, it identified her. What would she be without it? People would see her. They would know her. She’d just be a normal human.

No, that hood brought with it great power, even if it was only a patch of sack-cloth.

"This is dumb, you can’t take my mask.” She mutters, though her argument was a losing one. As she spoke she scanned the list. She had arrived in the village as she did anywhere, wearing a patchwork cloak of stitched swatches, with a wide cowl atop it. It cast her face in shadows, leaving only her mouth and chin exposed to the curious eyes of others. It cloaked her, gave her a very distinct appearance, and included a strange personality unto itself. The hood was stitched with glossy button eyes, and embroidered jagged teeth along its hem. Even the perked up corners of the cowl gave it the appearance of ears, and now she was being asked to part with it. It was her very essence.. How could she?

Lacking any choice in the matter she begins to plot. "That.. That. Those. Shoes. Two of those. Fine, I can make this work, but it’s mean to make me take my hood off and reveal my face to the world. Doesn’t do nothin’. Not even warm.” She continues to scan the list as she ponders her imminent future. She still had no intention of revealing herself. She was a shinobi, there were always options. Always ways to push the situation back under her control.

Days in the wilderness. It wasn’t something she was unused too, however she never got to explore the wooded valleys alone. No, they made the genin stay in the city when not on a mission. Precious training she could have used? Well, Ryo’d been camping enough times to have confidence. She knew herself, and she knew what she needed.

"Give me.. Wait, why are there chickens? I can bring a chicken?” This struck her as odd, though it was food. Unpleasant memories rise to the surface, chickens having recently been something of a bane in her life. "Ch..chicken.. Why. GOATS?” her voice gets louder. A moment later she is laughing at the entire idea, mirthful and joyously. "Oh I should get a goat! No no, no goat, but that’s funny. Okay, I need like.. Let me just write it down, and you can get it together while I change..”

They place the initial items she’d pointed at in front of her as she jots down the needed supplies, then scoops up her belongings and starts to make off with them. She excuses herself to a dressing room to remove her cloak and hood, stripping from the rest of her outfit afterwards. She gives a few last long looks at the hood before she finally sets off getting dressed. First things first. The uniform.

Once in the shirt and shorts she starts donning the warmer clothes. A pair of snow pants and atop it a winter coat. She wraps a sash around the lower portion of her face, three layers enough to almost fully obscure from her nose and down. She slips a long hooded robe over it all, letting it cover from her wrists to neck to shins. She pulls the hood up with a hidden smile, better concealing the rest of her face. This would do.

She sits and slips into the boots, carrying the sandals out with her once she’s finally dressed. By the time she is dressed her order is waiting, along with a sizable pile of change. She drops her previous outfit on the counter with the proctor, along with a pair of pouches. She casts one last look at the Doomstar as she abandons it to the proctors. The poor thing, she hoped it’d be okay.

"Here you are, Ryoko.” The officials slide her order to her. It wasn’t much, most of it fit in just one of the pouches she’d purchased. She laces the belt through the pouches and fastens it around her waist. She adjusts the pair of pouches until they’re just right, then opens one and sorts through the items inside. She had one on each side, her right containing her weapons and tools. Two kunai, four shuriken. There was a compass and a watch in there, alongside a block of flint. That’d do. She collects her change but sets down another fifty ryo. The other pouch was still empty.

"I want a dog. …” She wanted to say more, but bit her tongue.

She’s given too much time to think as they make arrangements for the companion and she puts another 25 down. "And a chicken. Gimme a chicken. Stupid birds, just the worst. Kick it out in the cold, see if it wants to keep scratching and pecking then. That’ll teach em.” Her words are muttered, an oddly bitter edge hitting them. She’d been hurt before.. and it showed.

With that she gathers up the rest of her money, hefts the battleaxe over her shoulder, and unceremoniously exits.

Oh but where were her manners?  After a moment passes the door opens again.  She leans her cowled head back in and shouts cheerfully.  "Thank you" , then she was gone again.

[Оonakayama Setsuna]

THE DESERT PRINCE

i am not defined by my birth

Yoshiko

510 words

Setsuna was incredibly anxious to be joining in the fray. He had worked hard to get the opportunity to come to Byakuya, although arguably not as hard as some others. While he had only gone on a couple missions, they had tested his ability of observation and thinking on his feet. He anticipated that this exam would not be easy by any means, otherwise it wouldn't be so infamous around the world. But he was hopeful that he could scrap by with his teeth and that would be sufficient; if nothing else, his survival skills from growing up with his mother would prove helpful to a degree. Needless to say, coming to Byakuya was a culture shock to the system.

He'd not yet left the country, and despite having studied the various biomes around the world, Setsuna had yet to experience true outside the desert at night. So naturally, when each competitor was given a chance to pick their items, warm clothes were going to be an absolute must. He'd pick up a winter coat and snow pants, which for him would be especially necessary due to his low body fat. Gloves and boots were also a must, though the former would prove to make using his Taijutsu tricky. The scarf would have multiple uses: he could wrap it around his face, head and neck to keep warm, and in a pinch could create a tourniquet.

Next where the amenities. The backpack looked bulky, but thanks to his heavy weight training, it would be no problem for him. He filed it with a few flints and pieces of tinder just in case he lost any, a metal canteen for liquids, and a cooking pot for the animals and plants he was going to have to inevitably kill to survive. Before leaving, Setsuna, as well as two other genin, Saeko Ayukawa and Burokun Zakku, had briefly met with superiors to get a break down of what was to be expected at the exams, as well as rather seriously being informed they were representing not only Sunagakure but Kaze no Kuni as well. Naturally, Setsuna grabbed four walkie-talkies, as well as a sleeping bag.

Lastly was food. He saw the dog and given his exposure to them with his sister Arashi, hoped it would be helpful in any hunting or scaring off larger predators at night. Of course, the dog would likely need food as well, so Setsuna opted to get a chicken as well as a goat. The chicken would have to be killed and cooked as soon as possible, but he could use that to feed himself. Meanwhile the goat would prove effective in providing milk he could drink, and later on, more meat. A length of rope would prove necessary to create leashes to keep the goat and dog by his side, while the ninja wire's use was unknown at the time.

After paying for his credits, he'd murmur a quiet affirmation to himself in the Saeko's language. "መልካም ፣ እዚህ ምንም የለም። እኔ በእውነቱ ከአባቴ የተሠራሁትን ልንገራችሁ፡፡" (Well, here goes nothing. I'm going to show you what I'm really made of Dad.")

[Genius intellect]
— [Intelligence] Setsuna is able to access raw sensory information, normally off-limits to the conscious mind, because his brain’s perceptual region is notable large than the average 12-year old. Due to his early love of reading and thirst for knowledge, Setsuna's parents as well as his "aunt" Akane introduced him to a variety of subjects, ranging in complexity from basic computation to hard sciences, biology and anatomy. Despite his very young age, Setsuna has developed an impressive IQ of 192; by general guidelines of measuring IQ, Setsuna easily falls into the category of "highest-level genius." His fluid and crystallized intelligence, as well as his critical observation processing are greatly heightened, much greater than that of the typical human. It should be noted that while highly intelligent, Setsuna is still young and completely inexperienced concerning actual combat, and as such his ability to apply his knowledge in legitimate combat is far outpaced by that of his higher-ranking superiors, allowing for older individuals to easily outsmart Setsuna.
[NOTE] While he possesses basic knowledge of anatomy, Setsuna is not able to make use of that info in combat in the same vein as a medic or someone with an anatomy SA. In other words, he knows how the body works and why, but is not yet skilled enough to take advantage of that knowledge.
— [Combat Ability] From the moment Setsuna begins spending time with someone, he naturally tends to categorically observe them in the sense of how one present oneself. This includes walking, talking- what muscles are being squeezed, the sway with a person's movements, bodily function - all things that would be considered mundane and irrelevant. From this, he is able to deduce things that would be otherwise lost. After ten [10] rotations containing observation of someone, Setsuna can 'deduce' one's primary specialization. After twenty [20] rotations, one's secondary specialization and if they have any bodily related special abilities. After thirty [30] rotations, the fighting style and personality are identified. After forty [40] rotations, Setsuna can be considered an expert at forming a counter-strategy against this person.
[NOTE] This ability can only be applied in combat-specific threads, and all observations will be recorded using a thread tracker. Any social threads cannot be applied towards this SA.

[Clan Inheritance (Oonakayama): Magnet Release]
— [General Skill] Demonstrating the dominant genes of the Ōnakayama clan from his father, Setsuna is able to combine [Earth Release] and [Lightning Release] to wield [Magnet Release], allowing him to create and manipulate magnetic fields. Despite his father being world-renowned for his use of the kekkei genkai, Setsuna's poor relationship with his father has led the boy to figure out the ability on his own for the time being. As such, his overall skill and recent awakening of the element means that Setsuna's ability in wielding metallic objects is currently comparable to that of an academy student; his range of control for jutsu is fifteen meters [15m] in radius and cannot be maintained for more than five [5] rotations before getting tired and needing to recharge, preventing use of the ability for the remainder of a thread. [NOT ACTIVE]
— [Human Compass] Despite not officially being trained as a sensor Setsuna is able to sense the electromagnetic field of the planet, granting him an infallible sense of direction. If his chakra is sealed off by a [Sealing Technique] or another, stronger electromagnetic source, such as another [Magnet Release] user, activates a field within Setsuna's own range of control, he effectively loses the ability to pick up the planet's magnetic field.

[UCHIHA ISSEI]

After a week of resting and little socialization it was finally time for the real exams to start. He was a little nervous, but mostly excited. It had been so many years since the last time he was in such an environment, but here he was once again. He hoped this time around that he would not be held back by a team if he was stuck being paired again, but the likelihood this exams would be like the one from long ago was next to zero.

They were in a country he'd never been in before, and the weather was more than likely going to dictate everything unlike his first. When he arrived he expected that everyone was going to be rounded up with what they had, and then instructions were to be given. Nope. When he arrived he was met with a set of rules and guidelines that went against just about everything he prepared for prior to arrival.

Everything that you had with you was going to be taken away from you minus a Shirt, underwear, shorts, and sandals. It was a bummer, but it wasn't all that bad. When he kept reading he saw that they were to be given an allowance to buy the things they would need for the exam. It sounded too good to be true because then you could just re-up on what you had before.

Just as he assumed it was. It had all the things they probably already had, or needed, but they came with a much higher premium per item. It didn't take long for Issei to make sense out of what was going on once he read the rest of the guidelines. "A survival test.." That was the last thing he expected, but he wasn't afraid of the challenge. His first mission with Yuuta and his training in Kawa with Yuuta, Roku, and Yurako was going to show itself.

"500 credits?"

That was the limit they were given. Naturally he expected to use all of it, but a number of thoughts made him feel as though it'd be useless to do so. There was no telling what the other rounds would be like. Would he need more credits for other things? He'd have to get through the first round first. Looting was also an option, but that was also something he'd have to figure out along the way.

The first thing he needed to get off the list of items they were allowed to get was clothing to protect himself from the cold weathers of which he was certain most could not endure without. That meant the Snow jacket, pants, with warm gloves and boots to keep his body temperature in check. The next thing he got off the list was two scarfs. One would be to cover his neck and lower face while the other would cover his ears all the way up to his head.

He knew that if he let his face get too cold then the rest of the weather conditions would be too hard to endure as those were some of the more sensitive parts of the body. The next major to item to get was a backpack. He needed a place where some of his more important non combat items could be stored without getting in the way. He'd also make sure to grab a sleeping bag as well to be strapped to it.

He knew there wasn't going to be much time for sleeping, but when there was he needed to be secure and warm. Keeping his body temperature in check was key. The next thing he bought was a cooking pot. It was going to be important for boiling water and soups depending on what he found out there. The fact that his father was a cook was going to pay off big time as he was sure many Shinobi lacked that general experience.

That was why he chose the chicken next. He already knew how to clean and properly cook them without the risk of getting sick. Next on the list was a compass for directions, and a watch so that he could keep up with the time. One could always look to the sun and moon for help, but you could never be too sure. Time management was everything. He learned that in his month long mission with Nori and Trappy.

Tinder was next on the list as a means to start a quick fire just in case the vegetation wasn't on his side. Now that most of the essentials were covered he begin to focus on his Shinobi gear. He wasn't going to have as big of a supply than he did coming here, but he'd make the most of it anyways. Ninja wire, and Shuriken were top priority after getting the necessary pouches. Then came Kunai, smoke bombs

After buying everything he needed he had about close to 100 credits left. He hoped that his thinking would help him in the long run. Now all that was left was assembling and organizing what he bought.

    Absurd, getting removed from what she could utilize. She was lucky she knew how to wield a blade on a basic level thanks to her mother and her training in moving with the iron silk. As she would grab ahold of all the clothing she could manage and the absolute basic supplies. Believing they would place her somewhere where hunting would be a real possibility. She would hold no issue with proceeding in the exam though, despite knowing she had little that she could do here. She was going to make it through. 
    Equipped with only the absolute basic supplies and a sword she would await further instructions still not really thrilled by the prospects in front of her.

Don’t just weather the storm.
Dance in it.

The fact that the proctors were planning on using the icy tundra that Yuki was infamous for as a means to test the genin’s skills came as no surprise to the Uchiha. From the moment she learned of Yuki no Kuni’s climate, way back in Konoha, she figured that the cold would be used to test them in one way or another, even more so lining up with the fact that they were supposed to survive in it for four days. Ninety-six hours in the blizzardous wilderness that was unknown to the children. Not only would they have to battle the elements, the uncharted land would more than likely provide various dangers such as wild animals and even other contestants. Kazui wouldn’t put anything past them, she was expecting the worst, just to keep herself mentally prepared for anything or anyone that might try to put an end to her. White haze escaped her lips as she peered out of the window of the train, Miho sharing the seat next to her. While it seemed as if the young girl were daydreaming, in actuality she had already began planning on how she would go about this test to ensure survival.

Upon arrival, the guidelines and rules were laid out to all the participants, many of them were not happy and some were even furious, but Kazui remained relatively calm about the matter at hand, even though part of her wanted to tell them to fuck off. Her hand rested gently on her blade, tugging it closer to her hip. "Do I really have to turn in everything?” The teen asked as softly as her eyes remained focused on the proctor. A sigh escaped her breath as the answer was made clear. All things must be turned in, cheaters would be snuffed out and disqualified.

"Fine.” Unfastening the strap that held her blade and pouches, the girl would toss them at the proctor, and in return the proctor would toss her the uniform that they were all required to wear. ’You have got to be fucking joking.’ She thought to herself as she inspected the plain shirt. Why were they being stripped of their clothes? Kazui had no clue, but at this point she didn’t care. She was ready to get this over with. Lightly walking to the dressing room, the girl would change into the new uniform and look at herself in the mirror. Holding her arms out to the side, she would note that the clothes were a bit big on her, but oh well. It didn’t really matter.

"How considerate.” She mumbled softly as she noticed that they were offering replacements for the equipment she had previously handed over. She had 500 credits to buy stuff with, it was a fair amount based on the pricing, so the girl would begin looking for what was needed. The goal was to survive, by any means. Keeping warm, food/water, and tools/defense were the only things that needed to be accounted for, anything extra was brushed to the side. Quickly shuffling through the entire catalogue of tools and equipment they had set up for the genin to pick and choose from, the Uchiha would quickly make her choices, and once all of her new equipment was set and ready to go, she would be ready. Putting all of her layers on and tying the scarf tightly, covering the entirety of her face and head, only her eyes were exposed as she made her way to the start. Parting ways from Miho, Issei and the rest of her friends was tough, but she didn’t have any other choice. From her heart, she wished them the best of luck, and maybe perhaps their paths may cross sometime during this first round.
