[kyoji]

With the huge influx of people caused by the Chunnin exams, Kyoji's life had never been more chaotic. Going to bed at midnight and waking up at 5, no time was left for proper Shinobi training - and it was due. So far, he couldn't even tree-walk, and that's almost as basic as it gets. Flustered with shame on his delayed training, Kyoji decided enough was enough. 

He woke up at 4:00, a numbing cold ravaging through Yukigakure, put on his heavy winter clothing and stepped outside the Sanhana, his family's inn, where he slept, ate and worked. It was still dark outside and he had heavy rings around his eyes. But it had to be done! No other way around it.

Right besides the Sanhana there was a hotel where many of the outsiders where staying while they waited and prepared for the Chunin exams. But how loud could be possibly be, honestly? A small amount of training shouldn't bother anyone. "Besides, that's what they get for not choosing the Sanhana!", he thought to himself. Kyoji started with a simple tiger seal, closing his eyes, trying to wave off the dreadful cold from his mind. "Focus on the flow of your chakra. From your whole body, to your feet.", he mentalized. And as he felt the chakra rush through him, he put one foot alongside the huge tree. Seems good enough. And then, for the other...in a quick, swift motion, Kyoji fell on his back, wheezing the air out of his lungs and burying him deep in the snow. "Damn it!", he gritted through his teeth. 

He got up, brushed the snow off himself. "Okay. Let's do it again", he said, preparing the tiger seal once more.
