Suna Chunin Exams!

[sunshinemods]

Where: Sunagakure and the surrounding desert. Village Map.
When: June 4th-30th

Event Details
Suna does not require examinees to be part of a team to participate. However, if you came with a partner or team, losing one of them before the end of the second part of the exam will leave you disqualified.

4th: Starting at ten in the morning, those being tested will be gathered in the northmost part of the Bazaar and each will be handed a ribbon with a number on it and which is either red, blue, or green. They will then be sent to find the shinobi with their matching color and number in the bazaar before they leave the area, and tail them without getting themselves detained by their target.

Please note that those being tailed will give two chances to genin following them before detaining their tails.

Any who fail to keep an eye on their target or catch back up to them by three in the afternoon are disqualified.

4th-9th: At three o'clock, after all tailed shinobi are gathered in one place, all genin present will be escorted out of the village along the road north past the fork east before being given their next instructions.

This will take about three hours and once their destined point on the road is reached, having met up with another shinobi group who will have sets of wrapped packages. Each package will be either a sun, moon, or star, and all competitors must have the full set in their possession before arriving at their destination, which will be the Demon desert fort.

All competitors are advised to not unwrap their packages until away from other teams, and teams will be released into the desert in the order which they arrived to the meeting place in Suna after tailing their local.

Any who do not arrive by seven PM on the ninth will be disqualified, as will anyone who is missing a teammate. Only after this point in time will lost genin be rounded up and returned to their joinin.

27th- Opening Ceremony: At six in the evening the opening greeting will be declared. Suna will only be greeting civilians and shinobi of allied countries!

28th-29th: One on one tournament matches are held.

30th- Closing Ceremony: At noon the closing ceremony will be held, then everyone is free to return home.


Note:
A mod started thread for participants will be below, and everyone else is free to comment with their own top-level comments.

Yuffie swallowed again and then felt a chill move up her spine. She didn't want to hear more but her curiosity was ever growing and Sephiroth knew just what to say to gross her out and peek the budding seed of inquiry.

"Paralyze it how? They eat it alive then?! I don't think I care who I insult I'm not doing that." She shook her head already feeling her stomach turn at the thought. That was awful and gross and she can't possibly do that without throwing up anyway. Wouldn't that be more of an insult? She didn't think they wanted to see her food again.

Kisame’s grin in return was more of a grimace. “Do you even need to ask? But for Kiri’s sake, I’ll endure.”

[noboatbigenough]

“To host one of the Bijuu, I’m not surprised to hear that about him.” Kisame was learning more about what the jinchuuriki went through day by day. He’d never known the late Mizukage before he’d been made the host of the Three-tails, but he knew Naoki-kun well. Any difficulties would be overcome; Kisame had that faith in the younger ninja.

“Maybe I’ll ask him for some pointers if I have a chance to talk to him!” Obito would know enough details about what had happened to know that somewhere in Kiri was a brand new jinchuuriki, even if Konoha’s informants hadn’t discovered who.

"They use venom in their tails. Their shells are nicely crunchy, however." He was watching her. Admittedly, this was extremely amusing.

Not inaccurate, but amusing none the less.

[silverterror]

He didn't even try to clip the small burst of laughter that came free at that, and he leaned in watching him. "Of course."

[thebestuchiha]

He couldn't help it. He had to smother a laugh at the words, and cleared his throat to try to bite back louder guffaws. "Good luck. He's not a friendly boy."

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie held up a hand. "Just stop. This isn't going to get better and I'm sure I can respectfully decline." She motioned her arms to the sides while her features contorted into a weird facial expression.

"I will eat sand if I must." She wasn't kidding.

[noboatbigenough]

“A future of truth is worth the trouble now, and I can already see changes for the better.” In his opinion anyway. Some of the relatives of the nobles who were no longer in power were complaining, but he honestly didn’t care.

[noboatbigenough]

“I’ll keep that in mind. Even a little observation couldn’t hurt.” Not that Kisame thought Naoki would have trouble in the long run, but adapting faster was always better.

[thebestuchiha]

He leaned closer. "Kid's seal is shit, but politics have never given me an opening to do anything about it." It was a murmur, low. "It hasn't helped his temper."

[silverterror]

He gave her a positively wicked smirk. "And how is that better?"

[silverterror]

"I can see that, I suppose. We probably have the most honest international leadership right now than the villages have had in a long time." He wrinkled up his nose. "That might end badly."

[thegreatninja]

She held up a finger. "Because it's respectful."

It seemed like a good enough reason.

[noboatbigenough]

Kisame nodded. He didn’t like politics, but he was familiar enough with the constraints they placed on people to guess the reasons behind that fact. And a poorly done seal, combined with what was probably an unhappy Bijuu—the three-tails was very unhappy with his new host right now—spelled a certain kind of disaster. Actually, it was impressive that there weren’t more incidents of destruction on record knowing those facts.

“I can imagine. Ours is having a difficult adjustment period, but at least I can personally vouch for the quality of our seal.”

Revealing his personal skill with seals was a gamble, but Kisame trusted that Obito wouldn’t misuse the information, and would curtail the desire of others in Konoha to misuse it as well.

[noboatbigenough]

“It might.” Kisame paused thoughtfully, running a few scenarios through his head. They were all difficult to navigate, but he had full confidence in Nanako, himself, and the other loyal ninja of Kiri to triumph. In the absolute worst case…

“But if the whole world decides to try to remove our truth, we’ll just have to show them just how powerful a weapon real truth can be.”

Kisame was pretty sure they’d have one ally in that case, though he didn’t say it out loud. Sephiroth could probably guess. And there was also the new leadership in Suna, which could prove more truthful than the old guard had been. He’d have to investigate
