Meanwhile aboard the ship headed to Banjugakure, "Are you alright Rai, you've been pretty upbeat this whole trip, your not taking some

kind of drug are you?" Ai asked. Rai continued to smile gleefully as she looked out onto the open sea, and felt the breeze of the salty air

comb through her blonde hair and across her honey colored skin. She laughed a little as she replied saying "No, I'm not on any kind of

drug I'm just happy. We've been training so hard to get to this point and now were finally hear. I know sometimes I worry you guys with

my pity parties," Rai dropped her head as she spoke, but, raised it immediately as she continued. "But, you guys won't have to worry

about that anymore I promise to be the best I can be and give it my all!" Rai began joyfully practicing her punches and kicks, showing her

enthusiasm. Ai looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then turned to Batsu who simply smirked shrugging his shoulders. "If you say so,

I guess I have no choice but to believe you." Ai said as she walked toward Batsu and looked looked out on the ocean. The ship was full of

contestants from all over Teisei and Chigakure. It was only a matter of time before conflict arose on the ship. "What did you say about my

people?!" said a male ninja to a female. "I said, I don't even know why they sent your kind here. Your a worthless ninja obviously, it's in

your blood." The female ninja said as she licked her finger. The male ninja was allowing his anger to get the best of him even as his

teammates tried to calm him down. "Your dead, you bitch! No one insults my clan, my family!" The female ninja widened her stance and

stood with open arms an arrogant look on her face. Rai, Ai and Batsu looked on. Ai activated her Sharingan, shaking her head saying " The

guy doesn't even know what he's up against." Rai looked st her teammate and asked "What do you mean, she's a member of the

Chisuda, blood ninja clan and a wire user." Rai narrowed her eyes as she surveyed the girl saying " I think I see it." Batsu looked away,

uninterested saying " The guy's not gonna make it off this boat if he doesn't wise up." The girl gestured for the boy to come at her saying

"So what's it gonna be? Or are you also a coward, that's scared of girl's as well.? The male ninja, couldn't be held back any longer as he

lunged at the girl, she vanished. The boy's head was netted with wire as the girl stood back to back with him. Her arms outstretched as

she brought closer to one another, the wire began to slowly pierce the ninjas skin. The female continued to cross her arms, the boy wailed

in pain, while the cord cut deeper into his flesh. "Enough!" said a booming voice from under the deck. "No one dies on my ship, on less yer

plannin to clean'er up, and by that I mean all of 'er. Top to bottom." said the ships Captain. The female ninja had a look of disgust on her

face, releasing the boy, she grabbed his head, licking blood off the side of his face. "Til next time lover boy." The girl said while she giggled

and walked away with her other teammates. Rai's palms began to sweat as she looked out toward the sea, a worried look on her face.

"You alright?" Ai probed. Rai looked at Ai and forced a smile saying "I'm fine, just excited about the exams and a little nervous about the

written test, that's all." Ai stared into her eyes, Rai's star shaped iris danced around as she avoided her teammates gaze. "If you say so

Rai." Ai said as she turned her attention to the sky blue waves of the ocean. Two hours passed, the ship docked at the port in

Banjugakure all of genin ninja were in awe of the city. The tall buildings and paved roads there didn't seem to be a tree in sight for

miles in any direction. Waiting a few feet away, a jounin watched as the eyes of the genin lit up over the sights they were seeing. The

jounin approached the group saying "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen allow me to be the first to welcome you to the city of

Banjugakure." The ninja looked to one another with excitement in there eyes. "I'm sure for some of you this isn't your first visit to

Banju, I'm required to give you a brief tour of the port anyway. So if you all would follow me and my companions." said the jounin. As he

finished a female and two other male jounin walked at the rear of the large group of genin. The tour lasted for an hour as the young

ninja were shown the best restaurants, told trivia about Banju and it's history. Until they were finally brought to the building where

they would take the written exam. "Alright guys and girls this is it the last stop, from here you will be taken to one of two rooms where

the test will be administered. Laila." The female ninja that walked in the rear of the group now stood in front, she smiled cheerfully

saying "Okay everyone follow me and take you to your testing room. After a few flights of stairs the group was split into two lines, one

moved into the room on the right and another into the room on the left. Both rooms already contained genin those that were native to

Banju they eyeballed the new arrivals wearing there best intimidation face. The rooms were brightly lit, plain white walls, no shades

over the windows so the sunlight rested on a few of the desk. Once the genin in both classrooms were seated, a squad of jounin

entered each room.
