[b] Touzoku, Training Grounds - Squad 2 [/b]

Touzoku said nothing for a moment. She stood straight, her left arm around her waist, and merely looked at them. They were now her chosen family, in a sense. People she would care in some manner for the rest of her days. It was an important event for all of them.

"I'm not much of a speaker," she began, almost more to herself than anything, "And I suppose there is no really good way to begin."

She sighed, "Normally I would have simply just began testing you, however, there are a few things I must now address. You are not here to impress me. You are full fledged shinobi and must act like it. Ryuto, you know it is foolish to say you are fully prepared when you know nothing about me. Few people possess the ability to truly be fully prepared for anything, you are not one of them. Let us not waste each others time. Kurai, your expenditure of chakra was unnecessary - waste can get you killed in this world." 

She did not say anything to Rin, who had approached the situation practically.

"My tests are less about the skills I am here to help develop and more about understanding who each of you are. There are things out in this world that will break people who are not capable of handling them and as shinobi your chance of encountering such a situation increases. If I do not think you are capable of handling this, I will petition the Hokage to remove you from not only my roster, but as a shinobi entirely. I do this not to punish your hard work up until this point, or to be cruel. I do this to protect you from a life you are not prepared to live. We do not need more shinobi in this world who will put themselves or others at risk."

Her eyes scanned their faces, lingering over each one as she spoke. It was important for them to understand the seriousness of what they were undertaking.

"To start, I have three simple questions: Who are you? Who do you want to be? And what do you want to accomplish? I will know a dishonest answer, so ensure you do not lie to me."
