Genin Exam

It was time for Myojin Yashagoro, a four foot five tall young male of eleven years, to take the Genin Exam of Otogakure. Unknowing as to who will be examining him for grading of his worthiness of becoming a Genin, he would be standing around the outside of the Academy, nearby the pond within the grounds, where the two koi fish swim around in unison. He would stand around in his blue and white kimono, wearing black shinobi trousers and sandals, waiting for the examiner to come, as it was a rather early morning. He was happy he would have a chance to become a Genin on time instead of later on. While a late bloom can make for a beautiful flower, he himself couldn't afford such a thing.

His dreams were getting more and more realistic, as did his desire to find this creature that haunts them. He knew what his path would be for now, and in order to begin it he must become a Genin and progress. He thought as to what Miyo had said or rather warned about how most Shinobi lose precious things in order to progress in strength and power, and he planned to stick by his promise to her that he wouldn't forget a single thing, but while he wished to keep such a thing, he had an odd, sick feeling which fit in well with the gut-wrenching feeling of nervousness he has that he will break such a promise in the future.

Waiting for whoever was to test him to come, the nervous Myojin would remain where he's standing, awaiting their arival.

Some of the first rays of sunlight were erupting from the sky, creating a smorgasbord of oranges, reds, and yellows. Most of the shops were just now opening and the Academy wasn't open yet. Hell, most people were still asleep. Keyword being most. Kimura was currently sitting on a rooftop that overlooked the Academy. A few days ago, he was assigned to give some Academy Student their Genin Exam to pass. From what he could remember, the office people said the Exam could be really anything he desired. Nonetheless, what Kimura currently desired most was some hot tea and some bread. He hadn't eaten breakfast and he was still somewhat tired. Nonetheless, he did not let it show. He was not one to show weakness when he actually is weakened. Looking back at the Academy, his arachnid-like eyes spotted a young man. Short, pale, white hair, some scales here and there.

From what he could remember, he matched the description of the student that he was told days ago. Myojin was his name. With a yawn, Kimura slowly stood up and stretched all six of his arms before suddenly jumping off the roof, using his chakra to give him a boost. Suddenly, Kimura would land next to Myojin on his right side, about seven feet away. He would stand up, slowly, until he stood straight. Kimura, as always, wore no shirt. Rather, he wore his camo bandana and ninja pants. He would then cross all six of his arms as his unnatural eyes looked at the young man, now noticing his scales and snake-like eyes. "Myojin...........Yashagoro?"

Letting out a gasp of surprise, Myojin would take a few steps away from the hulking, giant figure that had landed from above right next to him, about seven feet away. Standing before him would be a seven foot eight, six-armed Shinobi with insectoid eyes, which made him look even less human than Myojin himself does. The Academy Student had to look upwards nearly enough that his neck felt slightly uncomfortable, where he can see the crossing of the monstrosity's six arms and inspecting eyes, the bandanna looking as if it was resting rather tug on the top of his head. The young male couldn't help but stare at this Jounin he had never seen before, nearly gawking at him for a few moments, just like how some people that have never seen he himself before had done to him.

It would be his name that would be asked in a questioning manner which would break Myojin out of his gawking manner, where the young male would straighten up, nodding his head as he tried to find the ability to speak. "That's me, sir." He would respond, still trying to recover from being caught off guard by this individual.

Kimura's eyes stared intently at the young snake-like individual, awaiting for an answer as he started back Kimura. Eventually, he finally did, confirming Kimura's suspicion. Almost instantly Kimura's stern look gave way and was replaced with a look of boredom and laziness. He was tired, oh so tired, and know he was willing to show it. "Kimura." He would say as he unfolded his arms, revealing his very muscular form. "I've been assigned to give you your exam today. If you pass, you'll become a genin and will officially be part of the Otogakure Shinobi Forces. If you fail....tough shit." He said simply as he walked towards the VERY short young man. "Since I am tasked with testing you, I am allowed to give you whatever I feel is appropriate. Thus...." Kimura would then trail off, raking his brains for how other jonin gave their exams. "Thus.....your exam is....to do a simple D-Rank jutsu." He would then suddenly sit down, leaning back in a relaxed position, the movement showing off his braided ponytail that is so rarely seen. "Start when you're ready."

Myojin noticed that the once stern look of the Jounin was replaced with that of boredom and tiredness. Clearly the guy would most likely either pass or fail and be done with it rather than actually be out here so early in the morning, though Myojin someone that was also struggling in the fight against sleep, as he too wasn't one that was used to being awake this early. The Jounin would introduce himself as Kimura, or rather just say the name, which Myojin could only assume was his. He would continue on to mention how he was assigned to give him his exam today and that if he passed, he would become a Genin and would officially become apart of the Otogakure Shinobi forces and he fails, well then tough shit.

The towering mass of a Jounin would then walk towards Myojin, causing the boy's head to point farther and father upwards so he wouldn't be stuck looking at this man's stomach area the entire time. He would explain that since he is tasked with testing him, he is allowed to give whatever he feels is appropriate, and as such, his exam is to perform a simple D-Rank Jutsu. After he told Myojin this, the giant would sit down and lean back in a relaxed position, which gave the snake-eyed younger male a glimpse of his braided ponytail. After being instructed to start whenever he is ready, Myojin would take note that he was still nearby the pond.

He would recall the hand-seals Miyo had taught him, performing them in unison, where, upon completion, three small sharp projectiles made of water came out of the pond, where Myojin would aim them away from the building, where they would fly off, becoming water once more in mid-air and no longer sharp objects. After performing the water shuriken jutsu, the Academy Student would look at Kimura, wondering if the Jounin had seen it.

Kimura watched as the boy, after a short pause, began to form hand signs. His eyes as keen as ever, Kimura recognized the seals. The Water Shuriken suddenly arose from the pond nearby, floating in midair for a moment, before being shot off away from the school. The spider human turned his head as he watched them fly off, letting out a simple "hmph" after they reverted back to water. Standing up, he stretched as he began to speak. "Congrats. You passed. I'll let the pencils pushers know that." With that little small dialogue, Kimura was suddenly off, jumping onto the nearest rooftop. Then the next one.Then the next. It only took a few seconds for him to disappear from site.

-EXIT-
Myojin is now a Genin

Myojin would listen with anticipation as Kimura would, with a "hmph", which would lower the Genin's expectations of his chances are succeeding, though Myojin would have his expectations be raised once more as, while standing up, Kimura would tell Myojin that he passed and that he'll let the "pencil pushers", which could only be the instructors of the Academy, know that. After that, the gigantic Jounin would be gone, jumping away and leaving Myojin behind. "Whooooo!" The now-Genin would say as he did a single, jumping cheer before dusting off his clothing and turning towards the exit of the Academy, no longer needing to attend as he is now a full-fledged Genin. He will admit, he will miss this place, though now he can continue onto his path and only grow from here.
