There was a catastrophic  explosion of wind, which curved around Hikaru but smashed into Kinko. It would easily push him into the ropes that lined the, well, line to the desk.
"Wait your turn, boy," Kisuke said calmly. He didn't appear to have moved much, but his elbow was resting on his desk, and his hand was posed as if he had just snapped his fingers, "And a word to the wise: Don't use Wind Release on someone with 8 years of experience with Wind Release,"
He turned to Hikaru and started, "Now, Hikaru, that wa-oomph!" The last part was an objection, as Hikaru firmly planted his foot into Kisuke's face.
"Ow! Owowowow!" Kisuke growled, "What the hell?"
"What have I told you about losing your temper?!" Hikaru scolded, secretly in awe of his older brother's ability, "It's not befitting of someone your rank to beat up on an Academy Student!
"Yeah, yeah," Kisuke muttered mutinously, "Anyway, that was very good. It was a very good example of combining your base jutsu to form an effective battle combination,"
He sighed and stretched backwards, popping his spine, before continuing, "Now, as the proctor of the Genin Exams, I declare you, Kisuke Nakatsukasa of the Cloud, an official Genin, with all the rights and responsibilities associated with that rank. Be true to your comrades, loyal to your village, and treat your enemies with honor, as befits a true ninja,"
Kisuke smiled softly as he tied his brother's headband on, then patted him on the head, before saying, "Now, Hikaru, as the oldest Nakatsukasa with a Soul Weapon, I recognize your increase in power as your become a Genin, and will bestow upon you the fourth form of your weapon. Call forth Eisenmeteor,"
Hikaru smiled and the flurry of lights danced around his palm. He pulled his arm back and drew a gigantic steel sword, at least as long as he was, and about as broad, from the light. It was a very simple double-edged design, with only a music note emblazoned at the hilt and a jewel shaped like a longsword embedded above it in the blade. Hikaru swung it around as if it weighed nothing and then plopped it onto his shoulders.
Kisuke nodded and held out his hand. A strange, polearm-like weapon was heard clanging outside the door to the room. It flew in the door and Kisuke caught it expertly, twirling it around a couple of times before gently resting the tip of the blade on Eisenmeteor, Hikaru's sword.
"Now, come forth, Soul of the Swordsman, and reveal another form," Kisuke called. The sword was engulfed in the multicolored lights and it gradually shrank, becoming a strange sword with a wavy blade. It was very thin and of average length, with "RUNESAVE" printed on the top left edge of the blade. Hikaru closed his eyes as Kisuke's weapon disappeared in a puff of smoke, and then he ran his hand along the flat of the blade. He open his eyes and swung the sword at Kisuke!
His brother flinched, but the sword passed right through him. "Wha-?" Kisuke said wonderingly.
"This is Runesave," Hikaru murmured, "The Sealing Sword. It phases right through solid things, but it can cut anything without tangible form, like fire, lightning, air, and smoke. It has one other ability, but it won't tell me what that is yet,"
"Okay, Hikaru," Kisuke said, rolling his eyes, "You get so caught up with this stuff. Go report to Team 1, okay?"
Hikaru nodded curtly and sped off, Runesave disappearing in the usual flurry of light.
Kisuke sighed and sat back down. "Okay, wind boy," he called, "You're up next. And one at a time, if you value my sanity,"

 Alex was up, and though he felt a bit nervous, his determination didn't let it show. "My name is Alex Trevell of the Hidden Leaf Village, and today, I'll show you what I can do." He first created two clones of himself, quickly transforming himself into phoenix afterwards. Mythical or not, he'd nailed it.
He then flew up to the ceiling, placing his talons into it, his two clones lunging to attack, and he released the transformation, quickly performing seals upside-down on the ceiling, pulling two kunai from his bag, the clones carrying swords, and he lunged from the ceiling, barely a blur, landing, his kunai at his sides with his arms crossed. Four pieces of log fell from the ceiling, both sliced in half. He'd replaced the clones, and the clones now behind him, he tossed his kunai backwards, hitting both in the head, which now went up in smoke, the clanking of his kunai hitting the floor landing on the ground. He stood up from his crouched state, hoping it'd be enough to please the proctor.

 Kinko grimaced at the instructor but resumed his position yet again. He started out his little show a little differently this time. He made a handsign and two basic clones appeared to both his left and right. Again he used his chakra control to manipulate the wind around himself and his clones until it had "thickened", obscuring the instructors vision of anything inside the small bubble Kinko had created. Much like that game where you hide a ball under 1 of 3 cups then mix them up, Kinko alternated positions with the clones until he was standing on the right instead of the middle. He released his control on the wind letting it return to its normal state before continuing. The clone on the left and Kinko himself pulled a few shurikens out each and broke them down to their base, that being metal. He then proceeded to form two swords. Kinko himself stuck the clone in the middle first with lightning speed, it being a clone of course dissolved in a cloud of smoke. By now he was sure that the proctor had already determined which was the real Kinko, now it was time for the small surprise. The remaining clone lashed out with its sword just as fast, driving it straight towards Kinko's heart. As the blade was a fraction of inch from piercing flesh a puff of smoke blew up where Kinko had been standing, as it cleared it revealed a clone with a sword hilt deep in a small log. Kinko stood nimbly on top the ceiling, directly above the proctors desk before he swung down in front of him.

Kisuke snorted disdainfully, and said, "That was a pretty good show, kid. Maybe not as good as my little brother, but you did better then most of the snausages I end up with in here,"
He repeated the ceremonial words and tied on Ken's headband. Referring to his clipboard, he said, "Ah, you'll be on Squad 1 as well. Do me a favor, woudja, Wind Boy?" He grinned devilishly at the boy's newfound nickname, and finished, "Keep an eye on Hikaru for me. He may be strong, but he's still just a kid. Alright? Now get going," "As for you, kid," Kisuke said, "I oughta smack you for not listening. Didn't you hear me say 'One at a time'?" He sighed, but continued, "But, yours was a very interesting performance, using an animal transformation, but just so you know, it's considered disrespectful to transform into an animal, because the sentient ones feel that it's like saying they're not good enough to work with. Just a heads up,"
He repeated the ceremony with Alex, tying his headband on, and then said, "You'll be on Squad 2, with your sister. Hmm, what a coincedence..."
He booted Alex out the door, then did his famous "Death Glare" at whoever's reading this. "Jeez, you losers," he drawled, "Can't you think of anything more original then this? Don't disappoint me here!"
OoC:// No fourth wall for chu...

"Thanks. And um yeah, I'll make sure he stays out of trouble," With that he hurried out of the exam hall and made his way as quickly as possible to Squad 1's training ground. He was eager to begin his training, whatever that may entail him doing.

"Think fast!" Kaida stepped forward out of the line, tired of waiting. The chunnin at the front of the room seemed to glare in the general direction of the students. 'Pleasant to know that he's taking at least a mild interest in us, even if it is disdainful,' she thought sarcastically. Clearing her throat, Kaida announced "Kaida Nara, from Konoha. Becoming an ANBU would be interesting, don't you think?" A dry smile, "Or perhaps-" She paused, her hands forming the proper motions. She changed, becoming a mirror image of the instructor before her. "-you? But, I'd prefer to be me. No one likes a copy cat." She let herself come back to her proper form, releasing the jutsu. Kaida again formed signs with her hands, initiating the next jutsu. A doppelganger appeared, and grinned along with her. "Yet, I am nothing but," said the copy, before turning into a cloud of dust. The remaining original paused, suddenly worried. What was the third? She had gotten so caught up in copies and stupid jokes that she couldn't. She wanted the earth to swallow her then, let her turn into an anonymous tree- 'Tree!' Haistly and somewhat sloppily, Kaida disappeared, a knobbly chunk of tree trunk appearing where the cloud of dust faded. Kaida herself reappeared behind the other students. She elbowed her way back to the front, with a few mumbled whispers of "sorry". Standing back in front of the chunnin, she gave a nervous smile. "So did I at least average an okay?"

Kisuke sighed. This girl was almost embarassing to watch, let alone pass. But she had demonstrated all of her techniques correctly, albeit sloppily, and she had a good sense of humor. She would balance out his rather uptight brother, he thought, and voiced his sentiments.
"That was...not incredible," he said with a cheeky grin, "But you appear to know your techniques, and you're remarkably energetic for a Nara, so you pass. Try to focus on your techniques, learn them so they become second nature to you, then make stupid jokes, okay?"
He stated the ritualistic words, tied Kaida's headband on, then said, "Okay, you're on Squad 1. They should be training right now, so you're missing out. Put it in gear, sweetheart,"

"Think fast!" Kaida was slightly ticked about the "energetic for a Nara" line. She was not her brother. He, and all of the Naras before him, seemed to achieve their goals without trying. They would just sit back quietly, thinking, and then everything seemed to go perfectly. Once, Kaida's father had sat her in front of a shogi board, pointing out how important the king tile was, and how she should "mold herself to become a knight". But, it made no sense. If the king was the most important, why could it do the least? Shouldn't the-
Kaida was pulled away from her thoughts as the instructur finished up his words and tied the Konoha headband around her head. She grinned, all thoughts of the puzzle that was her family dissolving. She was a genin! She grinned hugely. "Thank you! Squad one, right? Bye!"

 Rin Hone's turn was up for the Genin exams. The ANBU mask was on his head while his sword was at his side, they seemed to strike people with interest and some sort of fear. He rolled his neck as cracking sounds slightly sounded from it and his mouth opened it's minimal amount as he glared at everyone in the room, "Rin Hone of the village hidden in the sand, I plan on being one of the five strongest ninja," a slight grin crossed his face for a second, "I will be Kazekage one day." Rin's grin disappeared as he stared at Kisuke and with a swift movement of his hands he transformed into Kisuke and soon there were copies of Kisuke all around him. Using the situation in the smartest way he knew, Rin Hone's clone threw a kunai at the real Rin and when it struck him a book fell against the ground, a kunai sticking out of it. "There you have it, Transformation, cloning, and substitution," The cocky Rin had a feeling he would graduate with absolutely no problem after that.
Rin Hone found the Genin exams to be nothing but a joke, especially to the person who was sitting there in boredom, saying pass to almost every ninja that came threw here. His task was too simple for a ninja of his stature. Rin actually found himself feeling sorry for this man and at the same time angry at those who assigned him to this task, a ninja with this power should be training ninja, not watching them do the same thing in front of him every time.

Kisuke studied the boy. His mother had always said he was good at reading faces; that is, before she died. This boy had a turmoil of emotions on his face, but it was his ANBU masked that intruiged the Jonin the most: Where could he have gotten something like that?
"You pass, Rin Hone. Your demonstration of the techniques was correct in essentials, and the variety between your techniques and the students who came before you was refreshing,"
He repeated the ritualistic words and tied a headband around the boys forehead.
"You will be a member of my team, kid, so stick around. Maybe you could help me examine some of these ding-dongs, seeing as you know the techniques so well?"
//OoC: Well, at least until I can make a generic Chuunin to fill the position, or find another, lesser Jonin to do it. Anyway, we'll start, maybe, tomorrow?//

Rin Hone was pleased with himself and smirked slightly, "Thank you Jonin, Kisuke." He was shocked by the request to help him examine the others trying to be genin, but was too proud to be on Kisuke's team to refuse the offer, "Of course I'll help you." Hopefully this will help the exams go faster so that Kisuke can get to the importance of training the ninja who really need it. Rin walked to the Jonin's side and waited for the next person to text there skill in the genin exams.
Rin Hone was proud to finally be a ninja, but already saw himself as such. After being able to take a life without regret seemed to be a test alone. From this day forward Rin promised he would be the strongest ninja in training and hopefully become jonin before his true goal, to become Kazekage. "So, who's next?"
//OoC: Tomorrow sounds good, just let me know when you know//

A kid of around 15 came jogging in the room. "Hey! Kisuke, right? I'm your replacement, Chuunin, seeing as you're a sensei now,"
"Sure, kid, what's your name?"
"It's really Chuunin,"
"Wow, parents didn't have high expectations, did they?"
"No sir!"
"Well, get to work, kid. C'mon, Rin, he'll handle this,"
