Roys Genin Exam

After almost a week of searching and living in the Inn of the Konoha Roy had finally found himself at the Ninja Academy of the Village. Roy Assumed that it was here that his superiors would give him his Genin Exam. After being basically abandoned after the battle Roy didn't know if he should come here. But after deducing that he wasn't getting anywhere just training and waiting he now acted.

Searching the halls of the academy he would be in search of a ninja proctor to approve of his advancement to Genin.

[Roy Pyre, Student of Kirigakure, seeks a proctor for his Genin Exam.]

Inside the new academy were a variety of instructors hailing from different locations. Some were from Tengakure, some Shimagakure, yet most of them were from the burning village of Konohagakure. After the successful invasion, Xyxer had sought fit to try and promote the integration as seamlessly as possible, and that couldn't go ahead unless they understood what they taught the shinobi in this village. Clearly, it had not been working too well for them, yet to lord it over them would evoke more feelings of contempt and derision. For the invasion to truly be successful rather than just appear so on paper, then they'd have to make an effort.

That did not please the man Roy was about to be proctored by. A thirty odd year old man hailing from the fishing ports of Shimagakure. He'd been there before the arrival of Xyxer and his army, and he'd no doubt be there after the monster left his village. Yet he knew how these people would feel, for he had shared in the same loss. To suddenly have a new figure proclaim himself your leader with nobody daring to oppose him.. the fear that he brought was indescribable. Yet he'd grown accustomed to the boot, and he was damn well rubbed off that these people seemed to still sneer around him. The victor. That was why he was thankful when he saw a boy he'd recognized from Kirigakure's forces entering the academy. His bulky figure turned towards the boy as a grimace settled on his weather-worn face. A student had managed to get with the war party? How peculiar.

Nodding his head towards him, the figure would start prowling down the corridor of the academy before turning left into a sparse room. A few training dummies were set up against one side of the room, yet other than that only mats adorned the interior. Making his way towards one end of the room, he'd turn around and speak directly to the boy. "You shouldn't join a war party if you're not already a shinobi. That's reckless and dangerous.. but also pretty brave. Do well and I won't inform the Lord Mizukage of your actions. Perform the three basic ninja jutsu, I won't insult your intelligence by dictating them out to you, then explain their viability in combative scenarios." The burly fellow spoke, folding his arms over his barreled chest.

Roy bowed deeply to the man whom he found to be proctoring him; He wasn’t what Roy expected to be a proctor but nevertheless there he was giving Roy a chance to show what he could do. He respected any person who was clearly stronger than him and loyal to the lord Mizukage. Once they arrived into the room for testing and the ground work and rules were laid out Roy got right to his test. The test was very simple to do. All he had to do was the three basic ninja jutsu trained at the academy which he assumed to be the substitution technique, the clone technique and the transformation technique. He wasn’t sure how he was supposed to do the substitution technique but he was sure to find a way if it was required of him.
Roy would start with the transformation technique because it was the most logical to start out with. Roy would move to be about 5 meters away from the proctor and begin to pour chakra not only into his hands to into his entire body. He would be sure to check every small detail of his proctor before he went any further. After his training with Fenrir he made sure that he checked not only the appearance of the target but also his height and weight as well what stances he took. After a few more moments of analyzing the proctor Roy would do the necessary hand signs for the technique… Dog then boar then Ram and then released his chakra into his body to make the transformation work. After a few more moments a puff of smoke that came with the jutsu being performed would dissipate. Leaving behind would be Roy standing tall with his arms crossed staring at the proctor. His goal would be to transform himself into him and copy his mannerisms and speech.
After giving the proctor a moment to check his transformation Roy would speak. He would lower pitch of his voice as well as slow the words a bit as to mimic the way the proctor spoke to him prior. “Transformation… to fool the enemy into thinking something you’re not. Useful in any situation” Roy said to the proctor after then releasing the chakra hold he had on the transformation. After another puff of smoke the boy would be transformed back into looking like himself.
After the clone technique was completed he would move onto the clone technique. After making the clone hand seal Roy would release the chakra he had been holding into a puff of smoke. He would project his self into his image about a meter away. After the puff of smoke would dissipate Roy would have a replica of himself standing beside him looking onwards toward the proctor. Roy would speak again to him the same as before. He would wait a few moments for him to inspect the clone if he wished then he said “The clone jutsu… to confuse the enemy with what is real and what is illusion.” After another moment Roy would release the hold of chakra he had on the clone and have it dissipate into a puff of smoke. Once the puff of smoke dissipated he waited another moment to begin his third and final technique.
Roy would then survey the area around him. The only thing that he could substitute to would be the training dummies that were just beyond 7 meters away from him. This would be the same way the Fenrir substituted to him during his training so he knew that it was possible to achieve. Only this time instead of failing Roy would succeed. It was possible for him to use the moveable dummy to substitute himself to and he made preparations to make it happen. Roy would then do the necessary hand seals to make the substitution work. This time he would remember which hand seals had to be used and it what order for them to work. HE would not fail. Tiger then boar then ox then dog then snake Roy would make in rapid succession. He would concentrate his chakra to insure that he was ready to take whatever was coming to him.
“Substitution… to dodge and confuse your opponent attacks by replacing yourself with something else.” Roy would say to the proctor. He wanted the man to attack Roy so that he could show him that he did in fact know how to use the technique. But now was his time to also show his loyalty to the Lord Mizukage.
“Attack me; let me show you that even the students of the hidden mist are ready to battle for our Lord Mizukage.” Roy would say to the proctor. Whether the proctor would attack or not, Roy would not fail.

The proctor nodded his head as he performed the hand seals that were required for the substitution jutsu, then he proceeded to request that the man actually assaulted him. Well.. would he truly be a shinobi of Kirigakure if he ignored the offer of violence, even when inflicted on a child? Probably not. As he strode towards Roy, the proctor would proceed to throw his fist towards the boy's sternum; fast and heavy. It was enough to sink most people if it was to land, so hopefully Roy didn't mess it up. Granted that he passed the jutsu, the man would speak, "You didn't explain their viability in combative scenarios." As he turned around to face the aspiring Genin.

As the proctor would advance towards Roy he would continue to prepare for the substitution to succeed. He kept on thinking in his mind where he was going and what he was substituting with. In the moment that the proctors fist would land with Roy the student would have a puff of smoke spawn from the point of impact. The fist of the proctor would feel less pressure as the training dummy that Roy replaced himself with would be pushed back due to the force that the proctor put into his punch.

"Scary" Roy would think to himself as he appeared at the location previously held by the training dummy. While Roy did technically get hit he did succeed in performing the substitution jutsu.

Roy was stunned. He thought that he did explain the viability of the three techniques in combative encounters. Perhaps he was too vague to his proctor. And he would try again.

"Of course Sir.... but these techniques are only viable in the hands of skilled ninja. Most ninja won't put out enough effort to make a perfect transformation, meaning that they would be caught and killed the moment an experienced fighter knew that the ninja was under a transformation. To the skilled ninja the transformation can be viable to surprise the opponent either by posing as an ally to the enemy or to be used in conjunction with other skills, as a skilled ninja can transform into most things they put into their mind.

"The clone jutsu is only viable to ninja that have knowledge of their surroundings and can use their skills to draw their attention to intangible clones while the true ninja causes real damage. The same goes with the substitution jutsu, as it is only viable when a ninja can put their enemy into a false sense of security and dodge the enemies fire.

"In short all three techniques are truly only viable in the hands of a skilled ninja, sir. I am a skilled ninja, ready to serve my Lord Mizukage with all my life." Roy would bow deeply to the proctor as to show that he has finished his explanation. Roy hoped that was enough.

All it took was some gentle persuasion for the boy to divulge his knowledge on the basic techniques. The most important part of this process in his mind. If they were able to understand how to use standard efficiently, then when the more complex versions came along they'd be far ahead the rest. A small village, yet powerful. That was the envisioned dream of Kirigakure, and this boy could help in it's manifestation. "Congratulations. You're now a Genin in the grand village of Kirigakure No Sato." The bullish man pulled a genin headband with Kirigakure's symbol from a bag he'd brought in from the hallway, offering it to the boy. Once the exchange was complete, he'd nod to him and add Roy to the Genin register.

[Granting him genin status
You get 15 stats, genin rank, and genin jutsu
You also get a free specialty]

Roy would nod and bow deeply to his proctor for granting him this new rank. After receiving the headband and putting it around his neck Roy would look up to the proctor.

"Thank you master... Lord Mizukage should know that even the students of his village are worthy of being part of his Grand War Machine. I will enforce his will where he commands me to. This a symbol of my undying loyalty." Roy would say. Should nothing else come of this Roy would exit the academy and await orders.

[Potential Exit. Thank you.]
