A shinobi stood in the middle of the hut and announced his position on the exam. That it was all bullshit and that forming a competent team was the best way to go right now. Hibiki frowned, as it screwed up his most recent plan.
Kira made his way over, much to the delight of Kuro, and was surprised he attracted such a crowd. "Well, when releasing valuable information such as what side you are on in the midst of this crowd, something is bound to happen. Everyone is desperate to find an ally and you just so happen to say out loud that you are one." His frown fixed itself into a smirk, "That is, if you are an ally." He shook his head at the thought, "This exam is killing me from the inside out. It's playing around with my loyalties. How are you holding up?"

((If ava is incorrect about post then oh well xP))
Oasis, who had been wandering with absolutely no regard to those around her had gotten quite lost in the village seeing as she had far too many things conflicting for her attention at the same time. She wandered between food carts, and weapon stalls, even some gaudy jewelry which she played with for a bit but took off when the merchant realized she had no intent to purchase. Her wandering was cut off however when she, just barely, heard a voice over loud speakers, she must have wandered quite a distance from the proper location of the main event. She spun about on her bare heel and looked back at the village. Yep sure enough she had wandered a good distance too far and it would take a fair run to get were she was supposed to be.
Almost exactly as she had expected she reached the building where they were supposed to be, she picked up the scroll with her name, and with the exuberance expected from her she pulled on it, to no avail. Then she looked at the instructions, she read through it quickly, maybe too quickly. And then all but shouted her name causing the scroll to unseal. It was fun to have something respond like that after all. She read through her assigned scroll and was pleased at what it said. She closed the scroll up and put it on the scroll holder at her side before kicking at the ground and throwing her hands together and 'vanishing from sight'. Really she just jumped quickly from one location to another. This test sounded like fun, though she didn't really understand how she was supposed to do it right. She was however, going to figure it out in the way that only Oasis can. "Okay then!" she states loudly as she put her hands on her hips and addressed any who was within hearing range. However that was all she said before removing herself from the addressing posture and wandering away from where she was standing, looking to find whatever it was she was supposed to find, she had no idea how she was supposed to find it though. Now she just needed to figure out who was there, and what they were up to, and also, where Hatsuma was.

Notwen raised an eyebrow as he noticed the masked kids eyes make contact with his own for a split second. It took a few seconds but he introduced himself as Kairo Kaguya of Kumogakure, accentuating his statement by having a bone come out of his wrist and forming it into a blade of sorts. The crippled Uchiha was surprised to hear that the white-haired boy was from Lightning Country, but then he recalled what General Rai Oh had told him just a few nights ago. Especially the bit about white hair and black clothes. Notwen narrowed his eyes at Kairo for a split second. All i asked him to do was tell us his name, not prove what clan he was... he thought while blinking a few times. I just hope he knows he might have gotten himself disqualified for that. Shortly after this demonstration Hatari, who apparently was still there, began ranting about how the test was bullshit. Notwen ignored his statements, having at that point become annoyed at the samurai's twisted logic.
Again, someone decided to make an out-loud declaration. This time there was a threat laced into it. The person basically contradicted himself by saying that he'd let anyone on his team, but if anyone was found out to be an invader they would not make it to the third exam. Thankfully Hatari left them and walked over to the guy who had made the latest speech. "I see the logic in his thinking, but it's sort of a double-edged sword." said the crippled Uchiha in response to Kyu's statement. "He might've just bought himself a first-class ticket to failure." At that point the fish boy changed the flow of the conversation and began discussing a good team setup. He began explaining his fighting capabilities, mentioning that his forte was hand-to-hand combat. He also mentioned that his tracking skills were able to keep up with those of the average sensor-nin, utilizing his nose and eyes. Notwen waited until he was sure Kyu had finished, then began speaking himself. "My skills are most proficient when it comes to Ninjutsu, and my Genjutsu isn't all that bad either. I'm not very strong, but i can make up for that in terms of speed, and the fact that i can read my opponent's movements. I am a tracker myself, but i specialize in finding people that are hiding by a type of chakra sensing."

Kira looked at his friend with a smirk, "Why would I have a reason to lie? The way I see it, if I'm honest then those who are wishing to deceive me will be obvious." He looked around the room at everyone and the crowd he had just left. He hoped his plan would work out the way he'd contemplated. "This is kinda playin with my mind as well, so don't beat yourself up too much. Why don't we join up n start forming our team? We need one more person of coarse." Kira smiled and held his hand out to shake on the creation of their team.
(Sorry for the short post. It's like 3:00 am n I'm really tired : P )

As Mayu was walking to the first exam room, she rubbed her face a little as she felt the fatigue set in and begin to feel sleepy, it had been almost been 12 hours she had been in control of the body, which was pushing her limits, it had been the longest she had been in control, she was beginning to feel dizzy, and held her head for a moment as she switched with Aya, changing how she looked. Once Aya was in control again Mayu feel asleep within the mind, Aya smiled and walked off to the exam testing room, with a massive smile on her face she as hopped an skipped a little, as she entered the main room looking around the area with a smile on her face, after being told what to do she nods a little opened the scroll she had been given, within it was the mission she needed to do, and wondered what to do with it.
She looked around the room at the people that had teamed up already, and those still left to make teams, Aya herself wandered who she could team up with, she didn't really know anyone but Hayato and wanted to team with him sense she knew him and that would allow her to be more comfortable then with some strangers that she hadn't meet, but still it was going to be interesting meeting some new people. "Does anyone want to be in a team with me". Aya said as she spoke up loudly to the others in the room, hold her hands a little as she looked around the room to see if anyone replied to her call.

"Due to the nature of this exam, you do have a reason to lie though." Hibiki stated, starting at Kira's outstretched hand, "And if something goes wrong, what'll happen to our friendship with one another? I mean, it's just another test and the two of us don't exactly hold grudges," There was a pause as he mumbled that sentence back to himself as if he said something wrong, "Well, you don't hold grudges as much as I do..." He mumbled, taking a jab at his own anger issues.
Kuro mimed Hibiki's actions and stared at the outstretched hand as they spoke. He would've trusted him in a heartbeat, but it wasn't his choice to make. The Vulpine yawned as Hibiki thought about. "Then again, if it is like what the loudmouth said and that we'll be using these teams for upcoming exams, it would be nice to be stuck with someone from Kiri..." He sighed heavily before throwing his hand into a quick handshake. "Alright, we can be a team. Now we much find one more person...."
(It's alright :3 )

Meistu simply listened to Rizu as he seemed different after Miestu had explained the exam to him and he told her to tell him if she was an ally, to which she simply nodded as he made an announcement saying many profane words and calling for more team members Meistu knew she herself was strong but his chakra seemed different from her's it was angrier at this moment, that was the only way she could describe it he seemed full of a powerful rage so she simply shrugged if he helped her pass the exam then it was all the better for her, she didn't have her heart in this anyway it was away worrying about Zagula and hoping that she was doing well and not scared Meistu could feel the clone was still with her but it wouldn't be the same. Meistu stayed against the wall and watched what the crowds reaction to Rizu's announcement would be.

“I never stated that one should cover their weaknesses with another, complimentary skills are differing from something to cover up for something you lack...” Hatsuma explained bluntly looking to the boy who had given his opinion clearly on the matter. The sand Uchiha interjected with his own ideas putting forward the roll that he might have been given without any forethought as to what the people around him may do in response. “I intend to look for individuals who will be useful to me regardless of what the next event may or may not be.” She explained calmly before observing the once unnamed bone manipulator as he ‘proved’ his case. There was no point to believe he wasn’t who he said he was but since he put effort forth to prove it, the likely hood of the stated name being his real name was not very great. Everyone then decided to state their strengths pretty much out in the open putting forth interesting details. Everyone seemed to fit into a ‘role’ of shinobi be it physical, mostly physical in this case, or strategically inclinded shinobi, it was clear her ‘classification’ was of its’ own nature. “I have a skill set that can fit well for most situations; I am not lacking skill in any areas comparatively to the others I possess…” She stated coolly her expression never varying from it’s almost deadpan demeanor. “In either case it would seem the best course of action would be to build a team that would fit any given situation well, all the while keeping everyone at a distance enough so that they could be ousted at the first sign of betrayal. The key here is to not share information you hold with others and simply keep the interactions on a business level relation. In this way we could fulfill the need for a team all the while avoiding the simulated real life scenario of an infiltrator sabotaging your goals.” Hatsuma explained further. She didn’t intend to trust anyone here and usually didn’t she would gather a team around her that would be helpful if they could be but not be detrimental if they turned out to be an enemy. The last criteria would not be difficult as she would fill any excess roles needed on her own with no trouble.

Takera heard a familiar voice in the background and as Kyu rose to his feet Takera listened as the boy named Rizu spoke loudly of his need for teammates in a rude and almost demanding tone. Takera had the strong feeling he knew that voice from somewhere, but couldn't, for the life of him put his finger on it. He quickly receeded the bone and turned around to get a look at the boy shouting, but to his dismay the boy did not look all that familiar at all. Takera shrugged it off for now and turned back to listen to Kyu's proposal of speaking our strengths. He waited and listened to everyone's input before considering his own for a moment. He shook his head lightly during contemplation as it seemed none of them were too believing or enthusiastic and they immediately just shrugged his little display off. Considering trust is such a factor in this exam, I thought proof would be of value, but I guess if they were standing next to a bomb unknowingly in this situation and you tried to warn them, they'd ignore it and die miserably in the explosion. Takera thought to himself as he raised his hand to the underside of his chin and considered all his options.
Takera finally decided upon the best possible choice given the situation and began to speak. "I'm not Kairo and I have no intentions of telling any of you what my real name is or anything prior to my settling in Kumogakure, but you may refer to me as such. I don't have to explain myself by any means. You can hate me and be as suspicious of me as anyone else around you, but Hatsuma herself has made it clear that it's pointless controversy to go any deeper than the bare required facts. Giving away such a thing is a small act of trust if you're telling the truth. We all just gathered here and began a discussion not too long ago. That's nothing near what's required for us to just drop our guard and trust one another. I may have my secrets and I value them, but I'm not even close to the only person here at these exams who has something to hide. You can either accept me for what I can bring to the team or you can dismiss me simply because I wouldn't give you anything more than you need to know on a bare minimum." Takera straightened up and crossed his arms watching the three of them closely. He sighed lightly under his mask before continuing. "I used to focus more for Taijutsu like Kyuzaku, but through a time of growth, I've come to find that I'm better suited to be balanced. This may mean that I'm not incredibly great at any one thing, but it also means I'm not generally weak in any one thing either. With someone to play a strong lead, I can support in various ways." Takera looked away from them for a moment after giving his longwinded speech to notice Drake fiddling with his scroll at the table. His mind began to take it all in and he became worried little by little. Choosing to ignore Drake for now in hopes that the kid wouldn't notice him or atleast not say anything to compromise his situation, he resumed his careful watch of the demeanors and facial expressions of those around him in this discussion while waiting for answers.

As Hayato waited on the edge of the room, he kept on replaying the mission's objectives. The objective was to be appart of a group with allies and try to stay away from intruders. All he knew was what side he was on in this child like exam, and that the group needed to be at least of two others besides himself. Therefor the group had to total at least three. With this in mind he looked around again and noticed a group starting to form up. Mayu wasn't appart of this group whom was no where to be found as of this moment. This slightly wasn't apart of what he'd planned but eventually he'd find her or she'd find him. As he was looking though the group seemed to become more... interesting. He slowly wandered closer to the larger group, weaving in and out of the crowd while making it look like he was just walking aimlessly. The wasn't true. He got close enough to hear them, and while he did that he was also looking around them and at them. While he listened, he was able to learn names and locations of only a few but any information was better then no information. It seemed that the four armed female shinobi was named Hatsuma from Wind. He couldn't remember the last name but it was only going to be trivial anyways. Next name he heard while wandering was Notwen from the Wind as well, even though they didn't know one another. He continued to listen in on the conversation while looking around for potential team mates. Another name popped up as the one names Notwen addressed one who wore a mask, his name being Kairo. During this time, there were a few outbursts in which also caught his interest. The one he noticed most was by a larger male who didn't shout his name, but rather a mini rant on his goal to gain a team and what it was about. He didn't exactly agree with what he stated to a tee, but his message was clear so he kept him as a possible team-mate idea. It seamed that the large males outburst payed off though as someone named Hatari went over from the large group to him. It couldn't be helped that a speech like that would attract some attention right away. The biggest part would be to see how it played out. It was at this point he saw a good sign, Aya had walked into the building. He quickly walked over to her with a smile and poked her almost child like which wasn't really like him but he thought it'd be a good was to mess with her mind. Maybe showing her that he wasn't always serious. "Hey Aya, about time you showed up. This first exam is interesting, I wonder how everyone is holding up..." It was now that he went back to being his normal serious self as the click of the mission came into mind. "I did a little scouting around and figured out some information about some of our opponents here... nothing too great, just some names and countries. Other then that though there is no true team-work... I know I want you as a team-mate. We came here together so my opinion is to stick together. Ether way though, we need at least one more person... Any idea's on how to get this done?" he stated kinda flatly but regular toned as he waited for a responce from Aya.

Takera's head raised slowly as he looked over at Notwen and he placed his right fist down into his left open palm as if coming to a realization. He pulled his bag around to his front and dug through it for a while. Parting clothes and other assorted items in his bag, he finally reached what he was seeking. He pulled forth a small necklace from the bag. After closing the bag he held it up and let the pendant hang down on the chain straightening it out so that he could take a good look at it. He slung the bag over his shoulder once more and turned towards Notwen holding it up in the air and looking at it and Notwen's pendant back and forth even squinting his eyes a few times, but after a very short while he gave up trying to compare the two and lowered the necklace in his hand to his side. "Hm. I saw you a while back walking through the streets of Cloud Village, but you were kind of distanced. I thought that this necklace was similar to your own and checked, but I had been hoping maybe they were identical and I had just not been able to get a good view of yours. Turns out that it's still as I thought. It's a low grade necklace that's kind of like your own, but it's too much of a stretch to say they're both the same kind of pendant." Takera said as he scratched his head in dismay with his free hand and then moved his coat back just enough to reach into his pocket and place the cruddy junk necklace into it. The coat fell back into place and Takera turned away from Notwen hoping to hear something from the other two on the topics at hand. He returned to his straightened stance and crossed arms, but closed his eyes and just listened as there was a lot of commotion in the background with so many people in one place.

Quote: I seriously don't care anymore. Do whatever you want, say whatever you want. I'm done. Hatsuma began to speak. The four-armed girl said that her skills were useful for most situations and that she wasn't lacking in any areas in comparison to the others she possessed. Hatsuma went on to say that the best course of action would be to build a team that would do well in any situation, but at the same time keeping their conversations in a business perspective so that anyone could be rejected the moment they exhibit any form of betrayal. It made sense to Notwen, who nodded his head at certain intervals as he absorbed the information. The masked boy who had introduced himself as Kairo just a few minutes earlier began to speak. The first statement he uttered caused the dark-skinned blonde's eyes to narrow his eyes at him. He already filled the second criteria to my search. He's a foreigner as well... thought the crippled Uchiha as he continued to listen to the revelation being spoken by 'Kairo'. The white-haired boy spoke about trust between the assembled genin and himself as well as what he had to bring to the table. According to him he was more focused on Taijutsu before having become more balanced in a growth period. Having finished his first set of comments, he turned away from the group. Notwen had been keenly watching his actions since he revealed the truth about what wasn't his identity. This guy may just be the one General Rai Oh was talking about... It was then that he noticed the masked boy's attention lingering on one boy still by the scroll table. Keeping a mental note on this boy's appearance he returned to paying attention to 'Kairo's body language. After a few seconds had passed the masked boy began to look through his bag until he pulled a pendant out and started talking about having seen him walking around in the streets of Cloud Village. Warning bells began to go off in Notwen's head. I have only been inside of the Cloud village twice; once at the beginning of the month to attend the interrogation, and once to enroll into the shinobi forces. His claim strikes me as odd because i wasn't in Cloud when i was searching for leads on the pendant bearer. he thought, beginning to breathe heavily. The fact that he pulled out a random pendant and compared it to mine claiming that he was hoping they were identical... Why would he mention something like that unless... The crippled Uchiha closed his eyes and counted to twenty mentally to calm himself down, but his breathing remained heavy. He reopened his eyes and stared at the masked boy with an icy glare. " Only my brother would know about a pendant identical to mine, and it strikes me odd that a stranger as yourself would make such an inquiry. Who the hell are you?"

Kira took the gesture with a wide grin. "Alright, we do need a third member. Do you have anyone in mind?" Kira took a quick glance around the room and tried to pick out anyone from the crowd.. From what he could see everyone was off in their own groups, trying to make teams for themselves. 'this may be a bit harder to do than I innitially thought, but if we don't get at least one more teamate then we will get a bad score... Zero actually and would set us behind on the exams as a whole.'

Sorain chin nodded up as he heard the voice of Takera. Realizing that Takera would not be able to recognize him Sorain pulled the head band from over his eyes and looked out towards where Takera was stationed inside the room. "Hey you.." Sorain said before wiggling his finger in a simple gesture to indicate his desire for Takera to approach him. Although he was not one hundred percent sure if he could trust Takera, he at least knew that Takera would not be to much of a threat to him if he did in fact turn out to be an invader. Truth be told if that were the case Sorain most likely would not even bother attacking Takera, simply because at the end of the day Takera doing well in these exams only served to promote his goal, not hinder them. Sorain grinned, he would much rather have someone whom he could easily defeat in the running for Chunin than to have someone who could pose more for a threat to him. Sorain turned his head to speak to Meistu, "Where is that friend of yours? She would have been the third member of our team, and we could have been done with this pointless test-..." Sorains sentence was cut short the moment his attention turned to the two new participants in this exam.."Perfect" he thought, "Two new people whom have yet to become situated." Sorain continued speaking,"- You see those two over there? Pick one of them, then go speak to em'.. see if you cant pick up any signs of what role they might be playing in this test, and offer them sanctuary under our group. Neither of them have had much time to get situated and yet already they are speaking to each other. Which means it is a good chance that they know each other." Sorains eye brows turned down as he tried to gather the rest of his plans, " If they are friends, and one of them is an invador, then there is a chance that the invader will refrain from joining the others group in an attempt to spare there friend... Go speak with them, and see if they are willing to join our group, if one of them opposes and the other doesnt, then that one is a invader."
Sorain turned his head and leaned back a bit realizing that he had almost ignored the shinobi that was speaking with him this entire time. Listening more closely at this point he managed to pickup the last of what he was saying about wanting to take down some of the competition. Now thats was something that he wanted to hear, finally someone who was not ******** moronic that they could not see that this test was impossible to plan for. If everyone in the game played as if they were an ally, then this would never get anywhere, instead Sorain was about to play like an invader, everyone outside of his group was soon about to become a target and as it seemed he had someone who was thinking exactly as he was. "..ugh sorry, what was your name again?" he said raising a nonchalant eyebrow at him.

Hatari pleasantly smiled before his left arm reached behind his head to scratch as he couldn't help but be a bit dimwitted at the time of coming to the shinobi without realizing he was already within a conversation. "Oh, pardon my rudeness. If I had honestly known you were talknig to someone I wouldn't have interrupted like I did; Although, I'm glad you didn't take it personally offensive of my rudeness. My name is Hatari Nara of Kumogakure And I'm an Ally. I'd like to join your group because if I were to lie about my position I no doubt would die later within these Exams and even worst fail them. So in terms I give you thanks for listening to my request however you decide fit for your group." Hatari seemed calm minded and simply just in the exams to pass with little to no effort at all. The one thing that he seemed to be was sly and into the position of killing off some of his competition when the timing was given to him. Being a Shinobi isn't about figuring out if you can do a mission or not, it's how fast and precise you can be when it comes to killing a person. No tragedies mean go in and try not to die; however, if you want something done right you don't leave traces in which can lead back to you or the village.... Letting his arm drop to his side his eyes opened a small bit as if peering like a fox into the blind shinobi's eyes. "I'm very sure we could both benefit one another in the Long run indeed." Saying the words "Long run" he simply made a bold imprint upon them when he said those things, His intentions would be unknown until the exams had finished; however, his plans and Idea's had never stopped growing since the start of all of this.
