The first segment consists of the written exam in which you must display what you have learned; this was extremely easy considering Fraz had taught me all of these things and more. The allotted time was excruciatingly long and I had to sit there and not even cock my head a bit to my side in fear the instructor might think I was cheating and get kicked out. Finally, the test was over and we were given a short break while we were graded. Various conversations arose, "I wonder what I got" "hope I passed" "my moms gunna be so proud of me." Poor ignorant fools who know nothing about being ninja, I see little hope for the darkness village's future, it wont have an army to defend itself with considering how the ones who do pass are going to run off and get killed. I hope their jounin will teach them something before their deaths, but there's the ones who will die in the second segment of the test, a handful of others, including myself, will be prepared to end another persons life, some will do it without hesitation. Overall this whole test doesn't matter to me, I could care less about a headband, what really mattered to me was being able to find the man who murdered my mother, his face will be forever etched into my brain, an image that can only be washed away with his blood. He probably knows that one day I will come looking for him and strike him dead.
The instructor stepped out of the class room and cleared his throat, "thank you all for participating, I am pleased to report you all passed, now its time for the second portion of the test, Blood Mountain!" Great, a hike before we kill each other, the hike takes an hour but I'm so anxious that it feels like an eternity. "Listen up! The goal of this test is to decipher a secret message. You each have been given a scroll containing a fragment of the message, there are 6 colored teams, each team containing five, 3-man groups. The other groups in your color will try anything they can to get the next scroll, and make sure you don't." the instructor took a moment to look us over. "Killing another is allowed, I will now separate you into teams." 30 people applied for genin, I wonder how many will make it out.
