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.

Obito had considered not going himself, but even with the chaos going on in the village, in the world, he would make sure that Suna didn't feel slighted by their allies.

They simply couldn't afford for their alliances to weaken now, not when the enemy was clearly taking exception to everyone, and everything, that was not on their side. So he'd go, and not expect for there to be another of these for some time, and when he went home, he'd take his shinobi with him. They'd understand, he didn't doubt that, but first he'd see how far his genin had come on this trip, and then he'd get back home.

First though, he'd find and talk to all his shinobi.

He'd arrived with the collection of people who had ended up leaders in his country, not the least of which being Yuffie. It was still very strange to think the girl had any kind of authority over anything he did, but he was along as an official guard, this time, so he would simply have to linger near people from his own country.

Even if his eyes were roaming curiously for any other familiar figures he knew. Such as Ami, for instance, or possibly his cousin.

These weren't the sorts of things Yuffie often went to but she had been told she couldn't really miss this. There had been a lot of new things for her this month and running off to do whatever she wanted wasn't in the deck anymore. She was in charge of stuff now which was cool but it was a lot of work. What made this trip entertaining was who her guard was. She smiled to herself but for once kept her lips shut. She was happy she wasn't by herself. After what happened she was a little bit more jumpy than before.

She sighed looking around to see if she knew anyone. She doubted it but it was always nice to see someone again. She thought about wondering off but she assumed that there would be a few people quickly following behind her and that sort of thing was no fun with a tail.

For now Yuffie was happy with her inner thoughts to keep her entertained.

Gale had been very curious about how ranking was determined from the beginning, so when the chance to see how these other groups made at least one determination came, and in Suna as well, he had jumped on it.

The dry, hot climate felt almost natural, even if it was so different from the constant damp of Summoning Island. He made certain to ask questions about the nature of the exam to anyone who looked likely to answer, and watched the fights with avid interest.

When he wasn't doing those, Gale wandered where he was allowed, taking in the sights and willing to stop and talk with anyone who showed interest. Part of this was to spread the word of Summoning Island's interest in the outside world, after all, and show their presence to others.

Part of this was to show that Kiri wasn't going to hide from the world, so Kisame had to be on guard and pay attention to the politics and manners more than he would otherwise. They'd made sure to send some genin to this exam, and that those genin were ready, so he was here to watch his villagers--so strange to think that, however temporarily--as well.

At least the hat shielded his eyes, even if he'd declined the robes. Kisame was only an acting Mizukage, after all, and he was still one of the Seven first, so Samehada came with him. There were formalities, though, and so he had guards. But Kiri was entering a new stage, so he also was a guard, for their new daimyo, and it pleased him to break tradition.

Kisame mingled, letting himself be seen and willing to talk with anyone bold enough to approach.
