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.

"I was more asking because the food is not likely to be what you... expect it to be."

[thegreatninja]

He was slowly making Yuffie nervous. She started at him swallowing a lump that had formed in her throat.

"What is it then?" Because food was something simple and it was serious business. More so if they were going to be here for a few days.

[silverterror]

"They, first of all, have no fish here. At all." He turned, leading her off toward the market.

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie could have said more but for a moment she watched Sephiroth in disbelief. "What?" How do you live without fish? In fact most of Yuffie's diet was fish and rice.

She followed after Sephiroth hurrying to walk beside him. It was hard to keep to his pace because her legs were significantly shorter than his.

"What do they have then?" As far as Yuffie's concerned nothing beats fish, unless they have sticky pork buns.

[silverterror]

He was quiet for a few paces, trying to decide which part of the local gourmet to horrify her with first. "There is scorpion, which is surprisingly good, and several reptile based dishes."

[thegreatninja]

Okay, now she knew he was doing this on purpose. "Sephiroth!" She was pretty sure that scorpion was poisonous.

"Like... snakes? eww" That was too gross.

[silverterror]

"Indeed. The food here is quite good, but you will find it incredibly unusual. You will, of course, need to eat while you're here or it would be considered an insult."

Clearly he couldn't have just let her pretend.

[thegreatninja]

The color washed from Yuffie's face. "You're kidding right? No one said anything about that kind of torture."

She swallowed feeling her stomach turn.

[silverterror]

"Are you someone who is unwilling to try new things then?" He gave her an arch look.

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie tensed. "No, that's not it." She didn't want to insult anyone but she liked food from Kiri. Not saying she was a picky eater but she didn't like the idea of eating gross stuff.

"Aren't scorpions poisonous?"

[silverterror]

"Venomous. I imagine they were prepared carefully to negate that."

[thegreatninja]

His tone alone usually gave her chills and the mental imagine he was painting her didn't stop the uncomfortable sensation.

"Right but if you eat it it's poisonous. Venomous would imply that it's attacking me and they do eat their food dead right?"

[silverterror]

"They eat their food paralyzed, actually. Dead is optional and depends if they wait it out." He was being mean, true, but her reactions were entertaining.

[thegreatninja]

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.

[silverterror]

"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.

[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.

[silverterror]

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

[thegreatninja]

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

It seemed like a good enough reason.
