Bans Genin Exam

Now there are many duties of a shinobi in the world. Many dangerous tasks and such. The major point of a leader was to remember the beginning. When they first stepped into class and began the path of learning body and spirit. Holding weapons and basic tasks. 

The flash back was an invigerating reminder of such a test. The final day of academy students was their test to genin. With his strawhat and all yen was in thought hours prior to the test like all teachers. What was the lesson he was going to potray to the students throughout the day? It was an easy awnser.  The life and trials of shinobihood. 

Yen as an hour or two pass by before the student ban arrived set up a unique test. Yes he was a grand instructor of genjutsu and had much proof through his carerer. So it was fitting this day he would make use of the denomic illusions false sorroundings technique. As it would trigger as soon as ban was to enter the class room. 

if ban would look around he would notice that the class room was full as soon as he entered. The teacher was not in sight. It was full of slightly nervous kids around his age. On the board in front of him he woulnd notice that the instructions would be the following:

"When your turn has come up. You will preform the following actions.

Preform the clone technique, and explain why you wish to be a genin?

You will then preform the transformation jutsu and maintain it for 5 minutes (1 post). 

When you are done wether you susceed, or not. You will explain what does it mean to be a ninja of konohagure. Be warned if you cheat i will know and you will stay back 2 years in the academy."


The students will come up one at a time. Each name in random order of familiar and diffrent names for ban. All on the list on the black board. As all will students will remain silent listening to the words of each academy student and an occasional snicker comming from each child randomly.

The first three will fail and as the first one will fail and stutter making a mistake on his handsign's (on purpose)  and will cry  as his response as he would bury his head in his arms and slump in a seat in the back. The other two would run out the room crying, the following 12 will fail and susceed  in a manner of the first 3 susceeding and the fourth and sixth child partially suscessful. Stuttering in their awnsers.  The last ones will pass but will be at a loss of words to their reasoning. When it comes up to ban however all of tgeir eyes will be on him. No snickers but looks of judgement on their faces.

While this was done yen would be in a perfectally transformed form of a child in a grey uniform with grey eyes watching ban with the same  judgemental stare. Tears streaking down his cheeks with disire in them to susceed. His name will be on the top as simply "aey mi ney" as he would be the one crying silently in failure. Yet hoping for the best.

Yen listend as the guise of aey mi ney. Tbe boy spoke clearly and true yet his words being honest yet true also made yen wonder what was his response as a student. He thought back as the boy spoke. If anything yen knew his disire was to be a leader. To guide and teach the younger shinobi and civilians. And in time be a lead in the village. Although now he knew the road was long and winding. 

At least he knows his way. He may grow yet he has not embraced the idea of a genin. His life is of not only his family. But the village. Genin are the future leaders of the village. Even i was a genin at one time. The second you hold that headband you accept your standing and fate to the role in the village...


Yen sneezed in guize as the boy finished and spoke in a high child voice full of greif.

"I zts swories, excuzes mies"

The jouninn then returned to sobbing murmering.

"Itz justzs wishezs iz cansz besz ninha liks daddys and momzs"

Yen shook his head mentally at the boy's words and he sighed speaking seriously for the first time.

"You may know your stuff... but you understand very little ban senju."

The illusion faded and yen stood in a empty classroom walking up to the boy in transformed state speaking cplainly and striding with pride.

" you can climb the ranks but i see you only see this as a way to "meet the requirements"... you perhaps met the instructor as it is but you miss the mark by a mile. Your rank is earned as soon as i say it is earned. Take a seat and i shall begin the test."

Yen stated in transformed state as he leaned against the wall.

"Let me ask you this ban. How did your father and mother rank up? How did your ancistors ranked up? Look back for a minute. To forsaken your liniage and see the village as a prison? Your bound to be eaten alive by the missing ninja. Despite what skill you gain. Your in konohagure no sato. The village of the burning leaves in the inferno lands of the ever rising sun. Give me three reasons why i should rank you up in the village to the next level."


Yen stated as he walked up to the boy and placed a hand on the desk as he further spoke up. 

"You wont be in a kiddy pool. The dangers are real, as are the fact that training will improve, but so should your duties. But perhaps the next level is  not enough for the ban senju. If i considered skill to be a passing mark you passed with flying colors, but now you only showed the skill of a academy student  time to show me how much heart you have."


Yen stated as he now sat on the desk and stared at the boy in the eyes. 

"What is it you wish to learn ban? What skills can you gain at genin?"

Yens smiled as he shook his head. The lesson had begun.

"Ban i am the instructor. Take note that you are simply failing a basic academy test. The art of deception and trickery. You know the basic tests that you take. The boring notes."

A buff of smoke emitted from around yen as he resumed normal appearance. He wore now a straw hat  and his deep dark blue cloak now flowed on the floor of the desk creating a pool of blue cloth. An eye patch over where there once was a left eye. 

Yen sighed as he shook his head and spoke. 

"At 11 i was once a academy student you see. Now im nearing 18 ban. You grow fast, but learn truth of the world faster. And in time gain insight. Stop being childish. If you wish for the rank you must learn now to accept it. And learn to tell a disguise. No classroom is that quiet. Most importantly study your sorroundings. You might not find that transformation technique is not as freindly as you belive. "

Yen spoke as he looked at the class room quietly.

"What are you hoping to study as a genin ban? The pure arts of ninjutsu, perhaps the medical arts? Maybe the arts of fuinjutsu? Perhaps you like the hand to hand arts of taijutsu? Or maybe genjutsu?"

The academy student wanted to continue his appearal of suscess. Yet yen could sense it the boy was both frail in chakra levels and physical capeabilities. Even exibiting a slight ammount of effort was unwise. Still yen shook his head and spoke.

"The same level? Proof? Its all in the pudding ban. Only time shall show if you reach the same level. But i degress perhaps i was not as direct."

Yen spoke as the air around ban went cold from merely sitting in yens presence. Chills would run down the boy's spine. Not your typical flue chills but an umcomfortable chill. As if he spoke the wrong way. From the folds of his cloak  yen produced a headband and a jacket. Yet the mere presense of yen was so powerful that the senju was rendered immobile. And out of his fear would be found gripping the arms of the chair terrified.

(Eh display of power: gonna need to match up to bout 500 stats. Pal)

Yen would speak calmly as if to a child.

"If you wish to reach for your headband go ahead. But as of now you dont really have much to do. So just listen up. I asked your disires, i asked your future, and i asked you to think of your duty as a genin... think for a moment ban. So many risked their lives to enable you to live in a warm bed, a safe village, get training of state of the art, and even grant you the chance for another rank. While lesser induviduals, and even criminals whom try to repent do not even get the right to walk free... you never ran into this before. Above your head. When one is hardly trying to use strength. If you wish to reach this level or higher.... you will have to work with your villagers. Simple as that. You will greive their losses... because one day you will have to awnser the question out there with pride..... this headband is not worn by the outsiders, but thoes whom earned their spot.... so reach up your arms and show me your disire. Come on. Push yourself." 

Yen would state as he turned towards the teachers desk. Hopped off the desk amd walked 3 meters towards the desk. Yen then pulled out a chair  and sat in the chair backwards facing the boy and resting his chin on the head rest.

"Each step you take determines your disire. The will of fire here burns for thoes whom wish to face an impossible challenge.  So ban? Tell me your will and way? What truely drives you? Making your father proud?"
