Kaba Joukaku


"Hmm, that's simple enough. I think I understand what your thinking may be... Propulsion?" As they conversed, Kaba turned his gaze back towards the leak. Bumu's makeshift sealant had began to give way. It was only a matter of time before they were surrounded by water. Kaba necessarily didn't like being around water, as he wasn't the best swimmer or even interested in swimming itself. Once the room flooded he knew the nerves would start to creep in. "We maybe have 30 seconds before the floodgates open. Let's get out of this as soon as possible!"

Kaba Joukaku


Kaba stared aimlessly as his new comrade, Bumu, plucked the rest of his team's members. As he began to quickly handle the introductions and possibly discuss strategy, suddenly they were thrust into their challenge. Kaba figured the exams would not wait and give the prospective Jonin an early advantage. It was fine, Kaba wouldn't be shaken by a sudden change in surrounding. As they appeared in a room, Kaba immediately began looking around as if his head were a turnstile. 'DRIP' As he tried to analyze their situation, a droplet of water made contact from above with his foot.

Kaba swiftly looked upwards and located the leak from which the water fell from. There appeared to be several leaks, but one was more prominent than the other and that leak began to expand. It seemed Bumu had read Kaba's mind in that very moment and sprung into action to seal the leak before the pressure caused the ceiling to collapse. Deciding to not waste time himself, Kaba clapped once and pushed both palms outwards in front of him. A rectangular barrier formed around the makeshift team. It wasn't a matter on if the ceiling would cave, but when. The barrier would undoubtedly protect the group from being injured from falling debris, and of course from being drowned. But they were in an unpredictable environment, mostly ignorant to the situation in front of them. "Way to be on your feet, fox. I'm not sure where we possibly could be but being directly under water is not ideal. Eventually we might become surrounded but this barrier should hold as long as we aren't too deep in a large body of water." Kaba looked around again and located a door off in the short distance. He pointed to it to alert his comrades. "If we are indeed flooded, we would have at least a few minutes of oxygen thanks to this barrier. I see a door...we could attempt to open it but a part of me feels as if that's too simple. There could easily be water on the other side that'd wash us away. Or another option could be to just wait until the ceiling caves, and pray that we aren't too deep underwater to make it to the top. I can reinforce the barrier with no issue but my chakra isn't endless and I anticipate that I'll need it for later. Any other ideas...?" Kaba waited to see if any other of his team members would chime in as time quickly ticked away.

Kaba stood, waiting impatiently while conducting some light stretching. He had been in much tenser situations, but the anticipation for the exam to begin made him jittery. He decided to scan around to scout possible allies, and possible enemies. Kaba wasn't well known just yet,
but he had a keen eye for remembering faces and names. He could easily identify a large majority of the shinobi from Konoha. The other villages? Not so much.

As his eyes wandered there was a sudden commotion that drew his attention. However, Kaba could not locate the source due to the blanket of noise that filled the stadium due to the sheer volume of both spectators and participants. As Kaba began slightly pacing in the area he was in his ears quickly perked up from the sound of his name. He turned to see Bumu Aka. Kaba knew of Bumu, but not much about the fox ninja. Initially, Kaba's twisted face signaled extreme confusion. As his brain finally registered what Bumu was attempting to communicate, his eyes almost popped from their sockets. "WHAT THE F-" Swiftly, Kaba lifted his foot and swiped the tag. In the blink of an eye the tag was suspended about two feet in the air, surrounded by a small, sphere-shaped barrier. Only a moment later did the tag explode whilst trapped, muffling the sound of the explosion so as not to bring attention. The barrier shattered like glass, causing shards of chakra to fall from above. However, these shard disappeared before even reaching the earth, while the smoke cause from the explosion dissipated into the air. Immediately thereafter, Kaba quickly shifted his gaze towards the culprit, his eyes almost crazed.

"YOU.....!


As he made his way towards the fox, he was interrupted by the Hokage. Kaba briskly shifted his attention towards the leader of Konoha. As the Hokage spoke, a scroll appeared in Kaba's right hand. While continuing to listen, he opened the scroll to further examine it, slightly curious as to how the neat little trick was performed. Once the speech and explanation of the first portion of the exams were over, Kaba sneered. He turned to Bumu once again with a smirk one could only describe as dastardly. Kaba further approached Bumu, and placed his hand on the shoulder of the fox with a slight grip. Kaba peered into Bumu's eyes for just a second. Before today he hadn't interacted with the fox-nin but he knew that Bumu might be useful. Kaba wasn't even sure to address Bumu as 'him' or 'her'.

"The exams haven't even officially started and you almost caused me a fatal injury - You owe me, and I intend to cash in. How about you team up with me? I need a personal shield." Kaba then smiled at Bumu and continued on, not even giving the fox a chance to respond. "Perfect, then it's settled, you'll be with me." He then looked back towards the scrolls that had appeared before the Hokage. "What do you say about lightning?" he uttered in a sarcastically cheerful tone.

Bumu Aka - @Reflection
Kaba Joukaku


That morning the rays of the sun seemed to exclusively fall upon Kaba's slumbering body. He laid in bed, seemingly unaware of the importance of his day. While Konoha was awake, Kaba was asleep. And then suddenly, as if it were planned, he shot up from the bed and fixated his gaze upon the entrance to his room. Kaba stood there, impatiently waiting for his eyes to focus. Even before they could, he quickly muttered 'shit' under his breath. Not because he overslept on the most of important day of his life so far - but because that man stood between Kaba and the door. That man happened to be the head of the Joukaku clan, and Kaba's only living blood relative, Yagura Joukaku. Ironically, Yagura was also the only individual Kaba could not be civil with. The history between the two had been rocky to say the least. Yagura was in intimidating man, even towering over Kaba, who wasn't short by any means. Despite Yagura's old age, his body was toned as if he were still in his prime. This was the man that Kaba had to surpass, and this is also the man that Kaba loathes.

"Spare me the lecture old man, not today." Kaba darted towards the pile of clothes and other items he had piled on the floor. He was far from organized and asking for him to keep a clean room was more difficult than pulling teeth. Yagura peered as his grandson, who couldn't have been further from his polar opposite, scrambled to get his things together. "I will say this once, bring shame to our namesake today, and your claim as the head once I'm gone will vanish. I will not stand for-" Kaba sighed loudly, interrupting Yagura to predict his words. "I will not stand for incompetence or weakness...Yeah yeah, just leave please. Your presence is distracting..." Yagura grumbled and began to make his leave. "Just know that if I beat you to the exams, I will embarass you in front of everyone. Do not test me, boy!" Kaba sneered at his grandfather and continued what he was doing while cursing Yagura's name.

Moments later, birds scattered from rooftops as Kaba sprinted throughout Konoha, making his way to the site of the exams. He couldn't help from thinking that there was something important he forgot, but he had no time to stop and circle back. As he leaped and darted towards his destination, Kaba clenched his fists. I'll make him eat his words a millions times over... Kaba wholeheartedly resented his grandfather and to the blind eye, he was ungrateful for doing so. Yagura had accepted the burden of raising Kaba when he parents passed. He gave Kaba shelter and also made sure he never went without a meal. Yagura had also been responsible for a majority of Kaba's training. His feelings towards his grandfather still confused him. It's not as if the abuse he had suffered under Yagura's hand could be offset by the seemingly kind gestures he also performed.

As his destination cleared, Kaba attempted to clear his mind. He was unsure of what today would bring, but he wanted to use this platform to escape the shadows of Konoha. Today, Kaba was sure that everyone would be put on notice that he was special. As he entered the venue, Kaba quickly noticed that a crowd had already started to form. He was surely one of the last participating shinobi to appear. He glanced around and saw many familiar faces, including that of the Hokage himself. This was not the first time Kaba was in the Hokage's presence, but seeing such a powerful figure was automatically motivating. Not wanting to draw attention to himself yet, he slipped towards the back of the crowd and awaited words from the Hokage.
