Maybe you're not even here...maybe you're an elaborate genjutsu, the Mad Hermit hoping to catch us off-guard with the same trick twice."<br/><br/>Fuu's younger brother Niikon blinked the same brown-black eyes that his sister had. A couple of the other genin looked towards Fuu as well, then back to Tetsu. One or two had been following Tetsu's command, but now looked unsure.<br/><br/>"Anyone who doesn't want to stand around in circles on the most important and challenging day of their ninja career so far, come with me. Me, my brother and Ito here have already formed a team, you're more than welcome to join."<br/><br/>A pause, during which Fuu glowered around. Four genin sauntered over to her little trio. A couple had already left, ready to take the chunin exam by themselves, and melted into the intimidating forest.<br/><br/>Apparantly satisfied, Fuu nodded perfunctorily at her seven. "Come, then.

The dark-eyed ninja stopped suddenly.<br/><br/>A faint noise had just gotten louder and began to permeate everyone's attention. A moaning, keening wail had started up, and it was unmistakably human. Somewhere north of the gathered genin, was someone in extreme distress or extreme pain, maybe both.<br/><br/>
