As soon as Ikuza the Mad Hermit began to speak, Tetsu turned his head away from Yotie-san and towards the words that flowed from his mouth. His attention rested on the man's words for the duration of his speech, Yoshimoto had always taught him about the respect of his elders and giving attention to whatever they said. Even if it was the wrong path in your heart, you must always obey those who are elder to you and kin. Although not directly related to Ikuza, Tetsu knew he was still kin of the village, being a ninja of Konohagakure. All those in this village were family to him and he should protect them with his life. Tetsu was taught that by the Academy, but he knew that Yoshimoto would have wanted it the same way. As soon as Ikuza the Mad Hermit stopped speaking, he would have given a deep bow to the man. Clearly understand his words and giving him the respect he deserved, as a Sannin and an elder of the village.<br/><br/>Tetsu's eyes wandered to the other Genin, starting to arrive at the meeting place of the Chūnin Exam and the amount of people he never knew at the Academy. There were a few that he had noticed, but never got quite acquainted with them and there were some that might never had been there in the first place. Of course, some were expected to be Genin of the neighbouring lands, dressed in the villages own colors for some reason, by the Green Shadow. Crossing his arms, he gave a stern look and examined the other Genin carefully. When his eye was drawn upon the woman with dark hair and the mask. Her eyes looked as if she was one of the walking dead, neither living in this world or the next. A chill ran down Tetsu's spine as his eyes almost glared at her, but he carefully shifted his look to give her a stern smile, meaning challenge and respect.
