Kaido Kaguya and Jin Uchiha
Jin's eyes widened as a look of awkward discomfort overtook his face. He groaned quietly as Mayu literally squeezed the compliment out of him. When she started burying her nose in his hair and messing up his wild black haiir he placed a hand on her chest and pushed her away with a loud grumble. "Lay off, will ya..? I wasn't trying to be nice.." He mumbled as he looked away from Mayu, too shy and distant to look her in the eye.
His eyes darted to the cookies, then away from them in defiance, but then back again as his hand shot out from within his sleeves and grabbed one. A muffled 'Thank you' came from his mouth as he ate the whole thing in one bite. His eyes rolled onto Muyo as he defended his eating habits. ... I just store all the energy. You don't have to worry about me Jin scoffed at this, smirking at his comrade after doing so. "Too late Uzumaki, as a matter of fact.. I am worried about ya, can't you see yourself? Skin and bones and tattoos, not much else. How do you expect to stand up to the world's top Genin like that?" Jin pestered Muyo as he usually did, though he decided his usual pestering wasn't enough. "I mean c'mon, do you even know what you're getting yourself into? Mayu's right, the Chuunin Exams are dangerous, you could die there! ..but don't worry. I guess since you have such a distinguished Uchiha as a member of your team you won't need to worry about yourselves, I'll just have to make sure we all pass myself!" He grinned and chuckled in pride. He spoke highly of himself and seemed a tad overconfident, though Jin was always making himself seem larger than life. That, and a pride in his heritage aided in his attitude.
"Your hubris is showing again, child." Kaido interjected after Jin and Mayu expressed their opinions toward the Chuunin exams. He turned a kind eye to Mayu, his most sensitive pupil. Most would see Mayu as a fragile pupil in need of care and protection, and although Kaido admittedly feels the need to protect her more than this other students, he still views Mayu as a strong kunoichi who needs to learn the lessons of a shinobi regardless. "It is very important that you keep your lives, my young Shinobi. However in order to do that you must keep your wits about you, stay true to your roots and always be aware of yourself and your surroundings. I believe you are all ready to partake in the ritual, as does our lord Uzukage." Kaido finished. His voice was firm, yet soft. He treated his students as adults with a very respectful title, the title of Shinobi. He had always instilled the meaning of what it is to be called Shinobi into his students.
Kaido turned to marvel at what remained of the ruins, allowing his eyes to scan over the debris and what was left of the walls. He laughed at Muyo's comment, turning his eyes onto his Uzumaki student. "I bet you would have liked that, wouldn't you Muyo?" He mused before turning hsi attention back to their location. "No, no.. that's not why I brought you here.." His voice seemed to drift away into the breeze around them, almost as if his mind was carried off into the elements around him. "The ruins you see here around you, where we have specifically met for the duration that this squad has been together.. the true nature of these ruins that lie around us stems from the father of this village, and of this nation. These ruins contained the secrets that the Sage of Six Paths left for us. The First Shinobi World War was fought over these ruins, and they were destroyed as a result of greed and fear over what would happen should these secrets fall into the wrong hands." Kaido seemed to ground himself as he finished, mentally returning to himself.
He paused for a moment in silence, only the sound of the spring breeze blustering in the background. "That is why these exams, the first worldwide Chuunin exams being held in Uzushiogakure, are so important. My children, these exams are a statement to the rest of the world that we are still alive and thriving, a statement to show them that they may have destroyed our homes and the things that we built that are precious to us, but they cannot take the knowledge that the Sage has left us. You will fight in the name of Uzushiogakure." Kaido explained to his young Genin. They needed to know of the true nature of this test, and of its importance.
