[b]Kurai - Konoha Academy - Class 4A[/b] [i]Kurai's[/i] gaze traveled over to Rin, a small glance towards Ryuto being the only acknowledgement the Nara gave the boy during his goodbye. "Peace." he muttered, hands raising into a half-wave before glancing back over to Rin. "Hm. Well, I guess that's our cue." Kurai smirked, pushing himself off of the wall and giving the classroom one more once-over. "Totally not going to miss this place." he whispered, before bringing his hands into a cross-shaped seal and giving off a small electric discharge, something that did not harm anything in the room. The new Shinobi gave RIn something of an eyesmile from over his scarf. "Ja Ne." He disappeared in a crackle of electricity - nothing but a clone. -------- [b]Kurai - Squad 2 - Konoha Training Grounds w/ Touzo and Ryuto[/b] The dark-haired teen smirked lightly once he felt a bit of chakra channel into his core. His clone had dispersed, then, and Ryuto should be in the clearing in... 3.. 2... 1... "Okami Ryuto here, Squad 2. I'm assuming you will be giving us some kind of test, and I am fully prepared for the following." Kurai's form slowly melded from the shadows of a nearby tree-top, before completely appearing, not too far away from the two. He was pretty sure that the sensei noticed him immediately when he had even activated the Shadow Meld no Jutsu, but Ryuto? No dice. Performing a rat seal, and silently muttering 'Shadow Meld no Jutsu', Kurai melded back into the shadows, before circling around the clearing at an amazing speed, nothing but a small, circular shadow on the ground. The shadow stopped a feet or two behind Ryuto, before swiftly becoming taller and taller until it was a dark blob around the same height and build as Kurai himself. The darkness swiftly slithered away into the trees, leaving the ninja behind, slouched over and looking tiredly at the sensei through half-lidded, insomnia-ridden eyes. "Nara, Kurai reporting for duty." he spoke up from behind Ryuto, his apathetic voice muffled by his chakra-enhanced scarf.
