<div class="floatleft"><strong>Jin-Ryu <em>Foxeye</em> Kitsage</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=886798)<br/>(http://www.mrwallpaper.com/wallpapers/masked-anime-guy-1280x1024.jpg)</div><br/>Jin-Ryu in anticipation waited to get his exam paper, he was sure their group got seven questions right for at least. So when time came he felt relieved his confirmations got confirmed. But it was not time celebrate much; as second stage of exams starts and this one is most brutal one in regards elimination. He watched the surroundings clouded in mist and hearing the instructions confirmed that it is indeed traditional team against team setup and using traditional earth and heaven scrolls in teams. So no surprise there, only what is unknown is the area where contest will be happening. Also part curious it was told not to see what is written in the scrolls....curious.<br/><br/>None the less this means only half teams get through this stage, first exam cuts half, second half and remaining quarter roughly then enters third exam phase. Or extra exam phase if they want cut it even more down. Jin-Ryu looks on his teammates and he asks; "Either of you got mist training? I got some of mist training in the past." Jin-Ryu means exercise which is likely part of basic shinobi studies to locals but is more exotic in other villages; training involving moving and figthing in thick fog and mist. As Jin-Ryu was his team's scout he had got the training part of his scouting studies. Otherwise Jin-Ryu awaits further instructions and basically waits when scrolls are given over and exam is signalled to start.
