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.

He huffed a breath, aware he was being teased and unsure how to feel about it. "No, my interest is not with the few Kiri genin still in the exam. I believe you will find my reasons interesting once you see them in action."

[noboatbigenough]

"I'm sure whoever has caught your interest is worthy of it. The matches will be very interesting this year."

One of his cousins had made it to the finals this time, which probably made the trip to the desert worth it. She knew how the desert could sap her chakra now, in the subtlest of ways. But Kisame wasn't going to play favorites. As far as he was concerned, very few of the ninja were really worthy of chuunin. Many of them would make it, of course, but he had to remember to talk to Nanako about more stringent preparations for genin.

[silverterror]

"She's an intriguing girl." He nodded once, just slightly. "We have an agreement to spar when she might be a challenge for me in some way."

Which was a bit off, he knew that, but clearly didn't mind waiting.

[noboatbigenough]

"You do, eh? Now that will be an interesting spar to watch."

Kisame almost suggested sparring with the girl in question so she'd get stronger faster, but sometimes it was harder to spar at the appropriate level for someone far behind in strength so that they'd get stronger without crushing them mercilessly.

[silverterror]

"If long in coming. For now, I will simply be as I have been for her." He nodded crisply, clearly content with that.

[noboatbigenough]

"Nothing wrong in a wait for something worth the time." Kisame nodded back, approving of the attitude. "I'm sure she'll be pleased to notice your attendance then."

[silverterror]

"I'll make sure to talk to her while we're here." He paused, flashed a tiny smirk. "Are you enjoying the politics?"

[noboatbigenough]

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

[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."

[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.

[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."

[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
