Things were rocky for a bit after that training exercise. But somehow they had managed to pass. Still, everything went up and down. For a while, they'd all done various low level, idiotic missions. At least that was how nagato explained them. Finding cats, finding underwear thieves. Stupid. But they all got done. That was roughly the teams first three months. Yup three whole months. But things took a turn for the better when they were finally given a higher level mission. It was a delivery in all honesty, but they were delivering very important artifacts and scrolls. Various items and tool. Thats why so many ninja attacked. By the time things had ended, the members of the team had been fairly hurt, but they survived and one. Each did their own thing. It worked out. 

Nayta's team had gone about things of around the same nature. Though their big break mission was hunt of sorts. A hunt for a group of bandits led by an elite ninja. Geez that one was tough. But still they managed. Much like Mitsuki's team who'd had to endure Finding and combatting a group of ninja who'd practically taken over a village. But much like the rest of the teams, they managed. And so things went on like this for about 4 more months. Nagato, Mitsuki, Nayta, nobody could really believe so much time had passed. And yet, it had. There was no denying that. 

And now they were here. They'd been crammed right into the chunin exams and things had been going mostly well. Things were a little different this time around. There was a test, a team portion, but then there was an individual portion. One where some members were weeded out. It was strange, but that led them to this. The tournament preliminaries. So far things had been progressing. Most of the first fights were genin from other villages, but someone from their end was bound to be going soon. Nagato was with his team watching. Nayta was and so was Mitsuki. Or least those who were left. The others either needed medical attention or rest, so they wouldn't be here for a while. Hopefully spirits hadn't been crushed. And even now, Nagato was scoping out the other genin. There were some here and there who he got bad feeling about, but he couldn't act on such things without evidence. And there were a few that he wasn't so sure about. Like who were they? They felt familiar. Whatever... All that was important now was the exams.
