#17 Kumogakure
The two went Downstairs together the next Morning and were greeted by Rei with a Grin and how was your Night?
Both blushed straight away, uh, the Night was very Restful.
My Night was also very restful, the old Lady gave me more and more to drink Yesterday and I pretty much fell into my Bed said Hazu.
But anyway, let's quickly find a Place before every is taken, the Breakfast smells good.
The four sat at the Table and waited for their Breakfast.
Yuru came and brought them Potato Pancakes, Haru had also written down the Recipe for the old Lady.
Haru I wanted to thank you again for the Recipes Grandmother wasn't so happy and full of energy for a long Time.
She hugged Haru and Haru said I liked doing that and don't forget I got Something from it too.
I love Potato Dishes but unfortunately there are very few Potatoes in Konoha I already grow them Myself, but they are just not enough for the Year and the delivery Costs are immense if I order some from here, so it's a Gift.
But now let's enjoy the Food.
Everyone ate their Portions and Sensei Hazu got 2 more Plates.
Then they said goodbye to Yuru and her Grandmother and went to the Village Exit and got back into the Konoha AMG, they then drove over the Land of Snow to the Land of Lightning.
Haru had to wake up all three Passengers when they arrived in Kumogakure five Hours later.
Guys we're there I'd better stop a little earlier, so we don't draw Looks at us.
Ok let's get out.
So this is Kumogakure they walked half an Hour up a flight of Stairs that led to the Village and when they got to the Top Rei and Sagitha were completely out of Breath.
You two should really do more endurance Training, look at Haru, he's younger than you and he's not sweating.
Yes, Sensei, we'll do it.
The next Moment the three were greeted by a Chunin.
Greetings my Name is Froishi Kowe, I think you are the Genins from Konoha who are supposed to take Part in the Chunin Exam, am I correct?
That's exactly who we are, my Name is Hazu and these are Shikaharu, Sagitha and Rei we are happy to be here with you. Nice to meet you, we weren't expecting you until Tomorrow, i think you have pretty good stamina to be here so early?
No actually it was because of Haru's unconventional Methods of Locomotion, I don't want to go into too much detail, but our Trip was very relaxing.
I'm glad to hear that, I'll show you where your Quarters are, you're welcome to walk around the Village afterwards, we have very good Noodle Shops, I recommend the Thunder Bistro, they have these huge Meatballs on the Noodles.
When they walked a bit and saw Kumo in its entirety, they found the Architecture beautiful, the Clouds that hit the Houses in the Village and the Buildings that are built on the Rock Walls of the Gorge made a positive Impression on them.
Don't you have Problems with the Humidity in the Buildings?
No, our Houses are Waterproof, no Water from the Clouds can get into them.
And with Storms, well there can be Problems, from Time to Time People get struck by Lightning, but in the event of a Storm we have set up safe zones they have Lightning Rods to protect the Civil Population and their Homes also all have Lightning Rods.
Here we are, by the Way, while we're at it you weren't the first Team to arrive here, a Group from the Land of Water also arrived, but they weren't as entertaining as you were, which I really thought was a Shame, because we're not having a War right now and to keep the Peace, you should show your better Side when you visit the Other.
But maybe it's also because they're going through something like a Civil War.
Heard they killed entire Clans for their Kekkei Genkai, no wonder these People are rebelling.
By the way, we also heard from your Danzo Shimura, who was planning something similar with your Uchiha clan, apparently there are such Idiots everywhere in the World.
But at least you avoided Civil War and that's a good Sign that your Country has very strong Ties.
Oh, you're exaggerating, you're in a good Position when it comes to Cohesion, I've only rarely heard of Internal Conflicts in your Country and when you did have some, you mastered them with ease.
We owe it all to our Raikage A and his Brother Bee, the two are so strong that no one messes with them.
However, both have their Quirks, but everyone here knows that.
You might see them both, it depends on how far you get in the Exam, I wish you the best of Luck and I'll say goodbye.
With that he disappeared, the Group went together to their Quarters, which were very elegantly furnished.
Apparently, Kumo takes good care of his Guests.
Saha was allowed to stay in Haru's Quarter and was happy that Haru accepted her as his Girlfriend of course the two still have to talk to Ino so that everything works out, but Saha accepted this Condition.
The Four then looked around Kumo and were also in the recommended Restaurant and went back to their Quarters.
They spent two more Days just killing Time in Kumo until the Day of the Exam. Froishi picked them up on the third Day and took them to the Exam.
So see you later you three I'll be waiting for you with Froishi see you later and good Luck.
Thanks Sensei.
The Three entered the Exam Room and saw many other Genin gathered there. Now that everyone has arrived, let's start with the Exam.
I'm your Proctor Palshi Yohara and will accompany you through the Written Part of the Exam.
Please follow me now, no Questions are allowed.
The Genin came into a Room with Tables and Chairs on them lay Task Sheets. Please find a Place and answer the Tasks on the Questionnaires who is caught cheating fails, did you all understand everything or does anyone have any Questions.
One Genin raised his Hand and asked how much time we have?
You and your team are out from here I said no Questions allowed.
Please leave the Room or we will force you to.
What but I just wanted to ask about the Time and I just said you and your Team are out and now get out.
Haru looked at the Task Sheet and asked Ura to take over the Shadows of his Teammates then he started writing the Answers after 10 minutes he was done. All three were ready at the same Time and handed in their Notes, the Proctor had never seen anything like this before and said you three are all done?
Well apparently there are still People with Brains in Konoha sit on your Seats until the Others are done.
Gradually more and more were getting ready and when everyone was finished the Proctor disappeared and the Room closed it's Door's and filled himself with Mud all the Genins rode in Panic. Haru said to his Team asks no Questions.
Rei then erected a Stone Wall surrounding the three of them, keeping the Mud off them.
They heard many Genin shouting through the Wall what should we do?
Do they want to kill us?
Why is everything so full of Mud here? Haru laughed out loud which many heard and asked who is laughing?
The Other Two then laughed with him.
After the Room was three Quarters full with Mud ,the Mud stopped flowing and the Doors of the Room opened and the Proctor then stepped in front of the Mud Mass and said everyone who asked Questions and their Teams are out, those who didn't ask Questions please follow me, I lead you to the next Exam.
Haru and his Team followed the Proctor there were 8 Teams left in the race two Teams from Sunagakure, one from Iwagakure, two from Kumogakure, one from Kirigakure and one from Amegakure and Haru's Team from Konoha.
The Proctor then led them out of the Building into a Gorge and there a Voice rang out.
I'm your Proctor now, if you hurt yourself here, then will no doctor for you appear. I'm Killer Bee and the next Exam will be hard and so i say lets start.
Each team gets a ball and you need two to win at all, watch out when you fight, the Gorge is sometimes very tight.
You have two Days to bring the Balls, if you fail your team can go back to the Genin Corps.
In the Gorge are Nests, but you shouldn't go there for Rest's.
You will be split by me soon, so for all of your Teams is enough Room.
Does anyone have any Questions or Suggestions.
No... then you need to sign this Shit, It's for the case you rip.
Everyone signed the note and was then divided up by Killer Bee.
Haru said on the Way with Bee. Bee you are a Rap God the Raps of Others are only mock. Can i see your Swords or hear more of your words? Your words are cool but I'm no fool. My Swords are my Tresure and you look like a guesser. Bee then led them to a Path and declared the second Trial open.
