Takamitsu set to himself to not be emotionally down about Tenten. On the other hand, he hates that he flirted with her despite her romantic interests being taken by someone else. It almost felt she may have led him on, but negativity was the last thing the team needed before the chunin exams. Being a shinobi, one can't afford to hesitate due to an awkward feeling among squadmates.
Takamitsu remained on his bed, letting his mind race and exhaust before sleeping. "Perhaps Neji and Tenten would not work out? But that's a selfish thing to think. And how do they get along that well? Neji seems a bit too calculated to hold a soft spot in him for romance right? And plus he's an anbu blackops unit in training? Note to self never admit to hearing that conversa- wait, I knew about this from Tenten's mind in the Genjutsu from before! I'm arbitrarily, metaphorically, and physically fu-! But wait, the literal hokage has addressed my situation among the topic of my fake identity… Or… Identity… But she understands either personal topics or emotions that may have subconsciously leaped out from her point of view… Sleep feels like… The better option now…"
**Clouded mind falls to the subconscious realm**
"Good, you're finally awake." A middle-aged man with weary eyes stirred my sight to reveal I was tied onto a wagon, descending a mountain though a gravel trail.
"Who's the guy in the gag? Is this one of those 'I got too drunk parties' I'm in? Oh shit I hate roleplaying!"
"If I wasn't in a gag I'd kick your fucking ass!" Ulfric Stormcloak inaudibly muffled out, without proper communication to the others.
"Watch your mouth! You're talking about the great High King Ulfric Stormcloak!"
The typical skyrim introductory lot resumed up to the execution point minus the character selection chart. It was Takamitsu's turn to have his head chopped off. As he knelt down to the wooden device, he gazed up to view the executer in a full outfit of iron armor. He weilded an Iron Greataxe and prepared his final swing. As the axe came backwards, suddenly, a white golf ball looking device spawned in place of the executer's head. With a mighty roar, and the darkening of the sky, this sphere lightened the surrounding area to a blinding effect. The famous skyrim words that followed- "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!"
"WaaaAAAAGGGHHHH!" Takamitsu hurled himself off the bed from the night terror and thudded to the ground. He misses having company either as his squadmates or family being around.
Takamitsu had gained a fantastic foundational skillset on the Dragon Saber, one of which he bought from the Okinawa Armory per Tenten's advice. He mainly sparred with Lee, and his Taijutsu skills immensely improved, though they weren't anywhere near to the level of Lee. What Takamitsu had in range, Lee made up for in speed to close the gap.
"Today's the day Team Guy is ready for the Chunin exams!" Guy announced to his squad. "All three of you have begun to hone your specializations and cover each other's weaknesses like clockwork. These last six months have been grueling, but I am in no doubt in good standing to say today's the day for you you three to begin the great journey to beconing chunin… Gosh I get so choked up to seeing you kids growing up so fast!"
"Guy sensei, don't get all emotional, you've had half a year to practice remaining calm about this." Tenten grumbled.
"How about this Guy sensei, let's take a squad picture here before we're sent off." Takamitsu revealed a polaroid camera from his travel bag.
"Takamitsu, that may be the single best idea you've had in this squad. Let's celebrate for this time of youth!" Guy grouped the three together, Lee on the right, Takamitsu in the middle, and Tenten on the left. The camera was on a stand and Guy put his arm around the two outer Genin. They all had a teeth showing smile while Takamitsu had a moderate blush on his cheeks being this close to Tenten. Guy and Lee both blinked as the light went off. The picture developed and sure enough, the two jump-suited individuals had their eyes show closed.
"No redos sensei! Candids or don'ts, this is this specific moment of time, and there are no second chances, just like shinobi in the midst of battle." And with that from Takamitsu, Guy had a few more tears form beside his right cheek.
"Go out there and make the leaf proud."
After a goodby to Guy sensei, the three agreed for Tenten to be the group leader. They agreed to keeping a low profile on their abilities for as long as possible. Not having a target on one's back meant a lot to potentially succeeding. Takamitsu added shades to cover more of his face as in case there were cloud nin attending the exams.
"You look ridiculous wearing those indoors!" Tenten whispered in distaste.
"Oh so Mr. bowlcut spandex man's okay? Fine, wait right here!" Takamitsu performed a quick change of attire in a nearby restroom and came out waxing his hair to form it like Lee's. Tenten's eyes widened and twitched when she saw Takamitsu now wore the exact type of clothing Lee wore, all while adding his kakashi styled mask without the shades. "Providing Mr. Inconspicuous as fuck number 2."
"Grrr. You're going to remain that way, alright?"
"Good, this spandex is rather comfy and breathing."
"Follow my lead." The three were in a line, Her Takamitsu, and Lee, and they approached a hallway filled with other chunin candidates. Many of them looked taller, more visicious, and rather intimidating… With the exception of some of the Leaf nin, like loudmouth Naruto. While Naruto was too busy mouthing off at the proctors who refused to let them in, Takamitsu nudged Tenten to observe the room numbers. She became aware of the situation and left for a stairway for the other two to follow.
They were the second group to find their way to the third floor examination room, just behind what looked to be 3 sand nin- a redhead, blonde, and shadowy figure with purple paint on his face. The next fifteen minutes became a death stare between the two groups, merely 10 feet apart.
"A Dragon Saber for a leaf brat? The sand called and wants their weapons back." The blonde scoffed at Takamitsu.
"Trust me, I'm not a big fan either." With that, the blonde chuckled. Tenten gritted her teeth and elbowed Takamitsu's chest to shut him up.
"Ahh I see, whipped now are we?"
"You never know, I could be into that." With Takamitsu's reply and raise of eyebrows, Tenten and Temari's face obtained 4 shades of darkening to them.
"I do not know of this… Whipped you mean-" Lee and The purple faced nin simultaneously responded. And as if on cue.
"I'll tell you when you're older son." Takamitsu didn't miss a beat with that reply.
