She felt that the boar was quite easy, so she decided to get that one over with, she looked over the scroll a little, and then then made her hands into like tiger claws, well, that it what it looked like to her. It made her giggle, tigers clapping is such a bore. Rinkou then placed her hands together and then faced the knuckles down and then thumbs out away from her. She had to adjust a little to make it a little more comfortable, and then she spoke.

The snake was a really easy one. She just looked at it, and smiled. How could anyone make a mistake with this one. The dragon she could understand, it was quite complicated compared to the snake. She was looked around the class, and wonder how many of them never understood to just slap your hands together and interlock the fingers to make a double fist. Now that she was doing it, she did see how it looked like a snake. Simple, yet effective to those with an imagination.

She looked at the monkey seal, and actually tilted her head a little. It looked strange, She wasn't sure how her fingers were actually meant to be. Then she looked over the rabbit, and that just looked a little funny. Yet surprisingly, looked the most like the animal it was based on. Well, to her anyway. That was what got to her about these hand seals, they didn't look that much like the animals. It was her pet peeve. But, she had to let it go for now, and just get on with her training.

The class was so quiet she had noticed now. It took her a while to notice it, because she was so into the hand seals, but now that she was aware of it, it was rather annoying. It was more the fact that these kids do not know how to be kids. They just quietly study, or do their best to quietly do a technique, how that is possible, she wasn't sure. But I suppose it did help them learn stealth, which was essential to a ninja. So she thought maybe being them being really quiet was a good thing.
"Ah." She then realized she needed to learn her hand seals still. Her thoughts had wandered way to far.

The horse seal was an interesting one, it was actually quite similar to the dragon, but in the opposite direction, so it speak. Rinkou had to straighten the index fingers into the pinkies. Which seemed a lot more easier then it actually was. But she used the same method that she had done previously with the dragon, which was connecting the straight fingers first, and then going from there. The interlocking was then quite easy.
"Horse Seal!"
Then she looked at the rat, it looked pretty simple, All she really had to do was take hold of her middle and index finger of the other hand in a specific way, where it look like the fingers were stacking up onto each other. She got it as right as she possibly could for her own little hands.

Now that she thought about it, the dog seal was actually quite symbolic. It could actually be a man petting the dog on the head, like a simple of friendship between that magnificent beast and the man. For the dog was man's best friend. She actually now really liked this seal, it seemed very friendly and warm. She made one hand into a fist, and laid the other hand flat on the back of the closed hand.
"Dog Seal!"
Now the monkey was no longer confusing to her, she had it down. It was actually quite simple, and she was also very away of all the interlocking these hand seals had. It made sense though, because it was like the weaving of ropes, that connect many places together. She faced the palms of her hands together, one palm up, one palm down. She then touched them together so that the fingers just wretched the wrists with the tips. She then weaved the little fingers and thumbs together.
"Monkey Seal!'

She then wanted to try the ram, which she actually had seen here and there, like it was the symbol of ninjutsu or something. But what ever it was for, she had to learn it anyway. She first make fists with both hands, and then pointed out the index and middle fingers. Then just overlapped one over the other. She had to make sure it was right, it would be awkward if she was doing a hand seal seen often completely wrong. She was sure it was right after looking it over and comparing it to the book.

The quiet was starting to get to her, and she was also starting to feel a little hungry actually. It must be nearly time already for a recess. But that wasn't up to her, sadly. She had to wait it out, or finish off learning some hand seals. Which she decided would be her best bet. The faster she learned stuff, the more impressive she would be to the students and teacher. But then, every knows standing out too much can be a bad thing, they then use it against you, giving you harder challenges until you are knocked out cold by mere fatigue. But that was bound to happen in battle, you had to be ready for it. Ready for anything...

But what Rinkou was really ready for, was a toilet break. It was finally time to get a tag put on her forehead. Not that it scared her, she didn't think the teacher could really blow up a child. She figured he got more kicks out of keeping them alive. She wondered why this guy wasn't some torturer instead of a teacher. But I guess if he drives the simple fear out of these kids, then they are more likely to succeed out in the real world. That was her theory anyway.
"Sensei, may I go to the toilet? I apologize for my bodily functions."

 Yuzuki gave his usual response to that question in the form of... "his look.". "Don't apologize for your bodily functions...apologize for not being able to control them." he opened his desk drawer and withdrew the stack of false explosion tags from it, his irritation unmarred. "Well? Come get your hall pass, kid." Honestly...these kids were hopeless. Did they think when they were out on a stake out as bush in a targets garden for 14 hours straight they'd get to stop for a bathroom break?! But he supposed they were just brats after all...and he was dealing with the late comer and the washout's who hadn't made good first impressions on him, so what could he expect? He gave an annoyed sigh. "You know the drill kid. Try to leave school grounds or take to long, boom. I have to explain to janitors why there's failure all over the walls. Go on." he went back to the work on his desk.

[enter from Secret Police]
Rhaim found himself at the entrance to the Academy after a couple of miles of wasted effort. Unfortunately the walk didn't even give him the benefit of revealing a good working mental map of the village. With a sigh he entered the building and began searching for an instructor by the name of Yuzuki. The teen failed on his first couple of tries into random rooms and was pointed in the direction of the class he sought. What struck the boy as odd however was the fact that the people that had given him concerned looks and asked if he really wanted to go to that class.
Once finally at the correct classroom the young Nara stepped up to the teacher's desk, hands in his pockets. "Excuse me, sensei. I'm Rhaim. I was told to report to Yuzuki-sensei. Are you him?"
He hoped that word about him would have reached the instructor long before he did. Having to explain his situation without documentation to prove his story would be difficult to say the least. He also opted to not use his family name within earshot of the others in the class, for obvious similar reasons.

She calmly let the teacher place the tag on her head and then went out into the hallway casually. Rinkou pondered if this tag was real. It was hard to know, and harder to have the guts to take it off. But it was an little exciting too. She was sure it was fake, she didn't believe the sensei would be allowed to just threaten the kids' lives so casually. She decided to risk everything and wait more then fifteen minutes to see if the tag was real, and to make the teacher come look for her.
Once she was finished in the bathroom, she decided to finish learning her hand seals. That should take up the time to test out this explosive tag. I guess death didn't scare her, even though she has witnessed it, or, she wasn't one to fall for such a simple minded trick. Now for those hand seals, the ox was definitely the next one to do, due to how easy it was. Weaving her fingers together in a cross shape. Then tilting her hands one way so that one was vertical and one was horizontal. The two middle fingers pointing up were then closed onto the back of the horizontal hand.

The Rabbit was the second to last hand seal that she needed to learn. It wasn't that complicated. With one hand, she just needed to keep her thumb and index fingers out straight, the rest closed, like some people do when pointing at people every so rudely. And with the other, a fist with only the pinky out straight. That was simple enough to do. Then she just needed to put the pinky finger in between the index and thumb of the other hand. It was done.

The last hand seal was the Tiger, but she decided to now get back to class before doing that one. She wanted to see the teacher's face when she turned up last. She wasn't actually sure how much time had gone by, she wasn't at all keeping count, and she never planned too. She did seem to be taking it slow though, casually walking back to the classroom as if she was perfectly fine. Heck, she was sure the tag actually fell off her head before. But she wasn't really paying much attention. She was more concerned about learning the key to being able to do ninjutsu. Learning the hand seals was important to her, and to everyone really. Without them, ninjutsu was impossible.
