Kuroda was glad when he saw that most of the genin had decided to stick around. And he couldn't help but smile a bit at what Seiyuri had said. He wasn't sure why that saying was so popular, but he felt like it did apply to this situation. You would either pass and become a chunin, or you would fail. And possibly die.<br/><br/>He looked at Reina and Kyo as each of them spoke. Going somewhere that would be more defensible would be good in theory. But he doubted anyone was familiar enough with the forest to know where a place like that might even be. They'd just be stumbling blindly through the woods. Then again, hadn't he argued earlier that staying put wouldn't do them any good either? But without any sort of objective, they'd just be wasting energy.<br/><br/>That's when he started hearing that strange sound. He held his hand up. "Wait... be quiet..." his eyes darted around, trying to locate where the sound was coming from. As the sound change, he turned his head, scowling. Was this just another trap? That's when he realized the sound was from above, and he looked up. "Move!" He leapt back, avoiding the shockwave that was made by the Mad Hermit's impact.<br/><br/>As he landed on the cracked ground, the Uchiha's normally blue eyes turned blood red. And two tomoe set themselves in the red, surrounding his pupils. He was getting tired of all this bullshit, and he wasn't going to get caught off guard by the crazed sanin. His body was a defensive stance, ready to move if he should need to. It didn't seem like they were going to be attacked, but he wasn't lowering his guard.<br/><br/>"Yeah... she is." He said, referring to Fuu. "So, are you here to give us an actual objective for the exam?" Or was he just showing up to help thin the ranks of the remaining genin, until only a handful remained?
