"Hmmmm..." Hibiki hummed while scanning the crowd. The plethora of shinobi began to clump together. It made it harder to single out trust-worthy shinobi, or strong shinobi, for their group. "Bad news, just looking around, we may have to make this into a group of four. People are starting to turn themselves into couples, or making large groups. I'd say we could grab Kyu and say 'who cares?' about the results but..."
He let out an audible sigh, "I was hoping to actually get to Chuunin rank, but with a test like this..." His face lit up as he had a sudden stroke of genius, "What if I used Kuro as bait? He can act cute or something, or maybe pretend to have a limp. Those with good morals will more than likely help us out. Alas, those with good morals, will find it hard to lie to someone in need. Kee kee kee!" The Inuzuka chuckled loudly as he looked down on the fox in his lap. "Sound like a plan?" He questioned both Kuro and Kira out loud.

Aya looked around the room at the people within the room, most of them seemed a little scary to her, while she did like meeting people, normally that was within the safety of the Leaf village, and normally she would have someone else introduce her to other, but here she would have to be the one speaking up here, and they wasn't any support this time, Mayu seemed like she would be better in this case then she would be, but she had to try first. Aya took a deep breath and did this a little to help her calm down, signed seeing that no one have replied to her question about wanting to team with her, then looked around for someone she could asked to join with her to make a team, as she was looking around she notice Hayato come over to her, and smiled brightly as he did, and then poked her lightly on the cheek, she huffed and puffed out her cheeks a little as she looked at him, she smiled a little more she was just happy to have someone similar with her.
"Hayato, who do you think would make a good team mate, I don't really mind but someone not scary would be best". Aya said as she looked around the room at the people again, and smiled a little seeing a few people she would like to talk to, the main one had been the girl that had been bouncing around the room and seemed to be of a similar age to Aya, she looked to Hayato as she waited on his reply, while she kept her open to the surroundings. "I kind of want to ask the girl that has been moving around the room, seems to be full of energy".

Takera stood calmy waiting, but just after shutting his eyes and trying to listen, Notwen spoke, to which Takera turned sideways just so to give him the proper respect, but the boy's words were filled with frustration. Takera was a bit taken aback by his response. What in the hell? Takera thought as the crippled dark skinned boy seemed a bit agitated and all the more serious. Your brother? ...Don't answer that. I don't even want to know. As I've stated, I'm new, and as such I've had no success in getting to know people here. When I saw the boy in the crowd, I thought his pendant seemed familiar, so I went home to check. I wasn't exactly close to him though, so it's not as though I got the best look at his necklace. I'm just looking to get to know people and fit in. If it just so happened that the necklace I found a while back on my journey was identical to someone's necklace in the city, especially someone around my age, then it might create an oppurtunity for me to start a conversation with them and maybe hopefully be friends, but it was a simple mistake, so calm yourself. You seem a little too worked up over this. Takera said unwavering in his stance and features. After a moment he noticed from the corner of his eye the tall kid from earlier who had called out to everyone with a strong tone of voice. The kid had made a gesture towards him as if to request Takera's attention. Takera turned to face Notwen fully and let his arms fall to his sides. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to see what it is the kid across the room from us wants. I shouldn't be too long." Takera spoke in a formal tone of voice before he turned away and began pressing through the now ridiculous number of people in the area until finally standing a few feet from the tall kid who had been whispering to a girl next to him. "You called?" Takera asked with a slight tone of curiousity. Takera made no efforts to change his stance or move his arms in any way. He stayed standing firm looking up into the boy's eyes. He may not be all that fond of the three who gave him a hard time, but they had been discussing the exams and other such things for a while and Takera wasn't inclined regardless of how little value the information they shared held, to just tell this taller shinobi anything. He continued to ponder what exactly the taller shinobi was up to as he thought things over while waiting for the shinobi's response.

Kyu nodded at Hatsuma's addition, "So, make the team in such a way that even in the event a traitor emerges, you can still complete the mission. If it helps, I know a couple more people that could be of use. One of them is a bit more balanced than I, and better with scent tracking... and I have no clue what the other one does, to be honest. I'm pretty sure he does some optical tracking stuff though."
Kyu heard another voice at his side. The bone-brandishing ninja began to rattle off that his name wasn't really the same name he introduced himself as. To him, it was pointless to tell anything but the bare facts. However, to Kyu, the boy standing beside him was fake as the mask he wore. If he couldn't even tell the truth about his name, origin, nationality, or appearance, how could he ever be trusted about anything else?
Kyu ignored every other piece of information afterward from the boy. It simply wasn't worth taking it, considering the circumstances. However, things began to get interesting, when the boy made an odd comment about seeing Notwen before, and about the pendant he wore. Kyu could have sworn he'd seen another like it in the past. Apparently, it was a valuable momento, from his brother, and only his brother would know about it.
To Kyu's enjoyment, the boy gave a half-assed answer, and quickly escaped the situation. Kyu grinned, "I can't help but feel as if a weight has been lifted from this conversation." Kyu's playful tone turned a bit more serious as he spoke to Notwen, "If I may ask, that pendant you guys were talking about is a bit familiar. Your brother... where is he from? Is he a ninja?"

Notwen remained watching 'Kairo' with that cold gaze as he gave a half-assed answer about having seen him in some street or whatever and having gone home to see if the pendants matched in some way. The dark-skinned blonde's eyes narrowed even more when the masked boy said he was getting a little worked up over the current situation and took his leave of their current group to join up with the guy who had made the threat earlier. A little too worked up, huh? thought the crippled Uchiha, never taking his eyes off of 'Kairo'.
It was at this time that Kyu grinned and playfully said that a weight had been lifted from the conversation before becoming serious and addressing Notwen, stating that he too found the pendant familiar. He then asked where his brother was from and if he was a ninja. The dark-skinned blonde smiled nostalgically. "My brother, my twin brother, and i were both raised in Wind Country but were separated while we were very young. I stayed in Wind while he was taken to Water. A short while ago i dreamed about him, but at that moment i knew that he had left this world. I guess it's a twin telepathy thing. His name was Novvus, and he was a ninja." Notwen clasped the pendant in his hand and closed his eyes. "This pendant and it's twin were the only ones like it made for the two of us. I have been trying to locate the other one for some time now."

"I'm sorry to say this, but I'd guess that you were right. I knew Novvus, if only briefly. We went on a mission together to capture some fugitive ninja. We failed the mission, and some of our comrades died or went MIA. His body was one of the ones never found." Kyu said coldly, "If its any consolation, he was a good man. His morals might have been a little too high for your average Kiri-nin, but he was dependable."
Kyu began to recount the names and faces of other ninja that had went MIA, Takera Uchiha. Zeru Uchiha. Those were the names of the twins. Rinku Kaguya, he was my teammate. Aizen Aburame, he was the traitor. Kaji Inuzaka, his body was the only one found. Not many people outside of Mist would have seen Novvus. The last people who did were on that mission. Of the four never found, three had white hair, like this Kairo kid does. Of those three, Rinku was too tall to be Kairo. He was also far too timid. However... Zeru and Takera were about the right height. However... I thought they were inseparable. If Kairo is truly one of them... Which one is he, and what happened to the second brother? Kairo is hiding something, and it's something dark. I will get to the bottom of this, one way or another.

“Good, though I don’t think that we should make a team larger than four for the sake of balancing, my team mate is likely to be running around here as well and we can put individuals into two teams. As it is I don’t believe we should be in a team with someone we already know, it may not benefit us later, after all there could be points subtracted simply for deciding to stick with your own country…” Hatsuma explained after listening to their third party reunion of sorts. “I believe both Kyu and Notwen would benefit in my own team as it could create a decent counter balance in force… my partner is a bit flighty but a reliable medical shinobi who’s focus is ninjutsu…” She explained bluntly as she proposed the formation of teams. Even if Notwen stated the truth about his role she would be able to deal with it and use the knowledge to her benefit regardless of the knock down in score she might receive. “As far as your other team mates go once we find them I believe we should group them together with my partner so as to have a full team, after all a team is better than having none even if the structure causes a loss in points this round they could be made up within the next round with the skill sets chosen.” She continued further, she was sure these two would at least be marginally useful in dealing with whatever curve balls might be throw at them, besides she was taught to keep an enemy closer than her friends and this situation garnered no other choices in that regard.

Kyu replied saying that he knew Novvus for a short period of time. Apparently they had been sent out on a mission to capture some fugitives from Water Country, but it had ended in failure and Novvus' body was never recovered. The fish-like genin went on to say that Novvus was a good man, and that even though his morals were a bit higher than the average Mist-nin, he was dependable. Notwen nodded and opened his eyes. At that point Hatsuma began to speak about team set-ups. She said that a team with more than four members. Most of what she was saying applied to Kyu more than it did Notwen because of his mention of team mates from his country being present, but she did state that he and Kyu would benefit being on her team because it could create a decent counterbalance in force. "Sounds like a plan." said Notwen a few seconds after Hatsuma finished speaking.

Oasis had yet to find a group, or rather, more accurately she hadn't tried to join one yet. She was searching around for Hatsuma sort of. Her scroll didn't make it any easier. She eventually plopped down on the ground and crossed her arms and stared at the group curious as to what she should be doing. This whole event was confusing to her usually fairly simple mind, and since the rules said she wasn't allowed to use her power and she was taking it completely seriously, which meant her ability which helped her to focus better. Well actually, it helped her to be able to focus period. She screwed up her face in a frustrated look and scanned the group, she was hearing a lot of words, names, and other things, it was a few to many at once really. Eventually she stood back to her feet and looked at the gathering of people "Oasis needs a group to be joining into!" she suddenly shouts as she threw her hands open out in front of her. That was all the outburst she needed to be feeling more calm. Her demeanor returned to a grin and she walked into the group of people to hopefully begin scanning about for Hatsuma, and hopefully an appropriate group to join again.

Kira smiled wide at the idea. "It sounds like a plan to me.. If he's up to it that is." Kira took another glance around the room to see if he could just eye ball out anyone. Still just as Hibiki had said it was hard to tell and teams were starting to pull together. With more people comes more of a chance that an intruder will be in as well, though with more people comes a better chance of success along the road. This test was indeed starting to play in on his head. He needed people, but at the same time had to trust and dis-cypher what people were being honest, and what people were lying about. 'This plan of his is a good one.. has some flaws, but if it works well it fairs a better chance of finding an ally than just asking around and talking to random people.'
Then he heard someone asking for a group out loud as he did. "This could be a trap, but we won't know until we talk to her.. I say we give it a shot." Kira looked at the girl as she was walking by, apparently scanning groups and waved her over. He had hoped she would notice and at least give him a shot.

"Ah ha!" Hibiki exclaimed after the redhead's outburst. Kira agreed to his plan, but still sounded a bit reluctant. He waved the girl over, hoping to spark a conversation with her and see what kind of person she was. Hibiki chuckled under his breath as he noticed her headband. Wind Country. "I respect your decision, but are you sure she can be trusted? She is from Wind Country, I wouldn't doubt they've created some nasty shinobi to take part in these exams." He stated in a matter of fact tone, with a pinch of worry thrown in.
"We can try it. We don't have many options." He sighed and stopped petting Kuro. The fox hopped off of Hibiki's lap and playfully pranced his way towards the Kunoichi from Wind. He tried to muster up his cutest expression and mannerisms as he walked circles around the Kunoichi. He bounced here and there, getting down into the canine 'I wanna play with you now' stance and growled slightly. He even rolled over a few times like a pup (despite his hatred for getting his coat dirty).
All he needs to do, Hibiki thought from afar, is to lure her over here. I'm pretty sure the two of use can figure out what to do with her. He looked towards Kira, "The lure is set, now we must wait for the bite."

Hayato had nodded to Aya with all the intention of staying her partner in this, but the thing was that he wasn't too good on personality perseption. He hadn't done any sort of training that could make him useful in figuring out who was who. This bothered him, mainly because he was so socially awkward as it stood that it wouldn't have done him a whole heaping mount of good for any of that training. The only one he could trust at this time was Aya, and even then he was taking a risk by not even have asked her what the scroll had stated to her. The thing though was that she didn't ask him ether. This showed him true loyalty to her companion due to the bond of there trust and of their village. This made him happy but a group of two would make them fail this exam as it stood so they needed at least one more person to join with them. he'd been thinking that their best chances were to have invited two people into their group. He'd been thinking about this for a while and come up with something that might help them in the long run. He looked over to Aya and nodded again to her statements. One was about not wanting any scarry people on the team and the other was about asking this bubbly girl who was seemingly aimlessly wandering around the room to join their group. He didn't remember this girl from his recon, but she was in the same village as the unique four armed shinobi due to having the same headband symbol on their person. "Well Aya, it depends on your definition of scary, but I get your point. An intimidating shinobi wouldn't be the greatest pick, but that isn't what we are looking for now is it? We are looking for those who will help us in our goal to become Chuunin...." He paused for a moment, thought then looked back at her with his normal focus. "I'm willing to talk to the female over there but there is one thing I'd like to know. What did the scroll tell you? I wish to go over the statistical values to see how we can both pass this exam. I do trust in you that you would give a fully honest answer as this will not sway me from parting with you. I just wish to get a grasp on what is needed to be done this second." Ans with that, he waited for Aya to give her answer, and trusted that it would be one thousand percent truth.

Oasis while wandering back into the mass of shinobi caught sight of something, quite interesting. First, she saw someone wave at her, a sort of 'come here' style wave and then following shortly after an adorable fox approached her. Well this settled it, she needed to play with that animal. Oasis was going to trot over to the person who waved, but how could she do that with such a cute animal right in front of her. She paused in about mid step/skip and dropped into a crouching position in front of the animal. She didn't part a thought that the animal might be dangerous and immediately reached a hand out towards it. "aren't you a cutie!" she chimed energetically as she reached out to pet and play with the fox who was acting like an energetic puppy. It would hold to reason now, whoever sent the animal wanting to talk to Oasis, would need to come to Oasis, or call the animal back to them, because she was going to follow it around now.

Aya smiled a little now that she wasn't alone, it was going to be a lot easier now that it wasn't just here, she smiled a little looking at him as he talked, asking her what kind of people she didn't find scary, and what her scroll had said. "Well people who look scary, look scary, like mean eyes or stares, but I don't really care much about passing this or not, I want meet people and make friends". Aya said with a large smiled as she stood with him and then looked at the scroll she had gotten, she had watch the words that had been written within disappear as she finished reading it, and the information that had been on it, but the scroll has said that not everyone told the truth, but Hayato did say he would stay with her, and she cared more about feeling comfortable then the test. "It said I was a Invader, and what do you mean by statistical values ?". Aya said with a smiled on her face she watch Hayato for his reply, and how he reacted to her statement.

As Drake moved through the crowd, he looked from side to side, not moving his head. He wanted to give no one any indication that he was looking for anything. He had yet to see Takera, but he kept looking. After he passed by another group of ninja, he spotted him. Takera was standing next to a dark skinned boy, and they were talking to each other. Drake couldn't tell what they were saying, but it looked important, as the dark skinned boy looked frustrated, looking alot more serious toward Takera. After a moment of more chatter, from what Drake coluld see from where he was, he saw Takera lower his arms. Then, he spoke a bit more to the dark skinned boy, and started moving across the room. 'Follow him. Learn what you can before approaching him' Drake heard Harbinger say to him. Drake agreed to the idea, and started to follow Drake, but making sure to stay at least several feet away, so that he could still hear anything Takera would say, and make sure to not be noticed. After awhile, Takera stopped in front of someone, or a group of someones, as Drake was at a bad angle, and couldn't see the guys face. What was worse was that he also couldn't hear what Takera was saying. Drake thought about getting closer, but advised himself against it. 'Best to just watch what he does from here. I'll try later to move up a bit to hear them' Drake thought, then positioned himself so that he wasn't looking directly at Takera, but kept him in his peripheral vision just to make sure he didn't move anywhere without Drake knowing.
