Chunnin Exam Ceromonies

[Kaji]

A stage like platform is lined with Chunnin proctors, Tsunade-sama positioned towards the back. A large land of Fire symbol is stationed above the stage, while seats range outward from the mouth. All Genin particpants are expected to attend, aswell as their senseis...while a head Proctor announced the winners.

Winners will walk up to the stage, and accept the position of leadership, while the proctor will annouce a word of promotion. Once accepted, he will be presented with a certificate, and a flak jacket and uniform, although it isn't mandatory to wear them.

Upon proceding, your character being Chunnin should be inserted into your live Rp's when availbable.

STARTS THIS WEDSDAY!

[blink]

Anko scanned her eyes over the crowded room, standing behind a podium with a table laden with five Chuunin Uniforms to her right, wearing her formal Juunin uniform for the first time in a long time, paritally to conceal the bandages which wrapped her wounds from that brawl in the Forest of Death, partially to make a point of how serious this was. The ANBU had triple-checked everyone this time, there would be no unforeseen attacks this time. No, not in this years Chuunin ceremony...

Her gaze lingered on the Genin Partipants in the front rows of the crowd, sensi a row or two behind them. All of Team Gai contrasting with all of Team Enishi, the latter literally fresh from their first test. One from Team Kureni, Ame, and Minkio. Even a lone Genin from Team Aliana, most of whome were out on a mission in Sand. Oh, well. Not her place to discipline the youth. She heard mild cough from the Hokage and got to it.

"Friends, allies, inhabitants of Konoha, this is the Chuunin Exam Ceremony. The battles have been fought. The results disected. Observations made. This is a very... Serious occasion, one of the most serious I've known," intoned the female Juunin, a sly smile breaking over her face when she shifted her gaze to the Genin in the crowd, "But it means nothing. Not really. Chuunin exams is a symbol, only as valid as you want to make. All we really know about ourselves from this is that we can fight, kill, endure more pain than we want to know existed, possibly even think ahead a little. The real test begins the second you take the uniform, and it lasts every second of every day for the rest of your life as a Konoha Nin, may it not be short."

She laughed mockingly to herself, "According to a book the Third gave me, I'm supposed to give each of the winners their uniform and jacket. That's stupid though. They're squad leader material now, if you can't get a simple uniform without help, Fire help us all. Each of the five uniforms to my right have the name of a winner on them. I'll say the list of winners, you'll all clap, and then the winners will line up and take their uniform, one at a time, maybe even bow to Proctors and the Hokage before taking their seat again. They'll have enough stress to deal with soon enough..."

Hokori sat between Kobu and Aliana, face glacially calm, clothing, face, and hair impecccable. In the off-chance she might advance, there was no way the Sand Genin would present a messy apperance. She took a deep breath, trying to shrug off the preasure of antisipation.

Anko recovered from her pause, chuckling with a quick glance to Tsunade before going solemn again, "Oh right. The five Genin who have passed this year's exams. Rock Lee. Hyuga Neji. Kobu Itzuka, Kazuma. Minako Terto. Kami help you all in your new service as Chunin. Come forward and claim your rank." This was great.

(Whew. I know, not Wendesday, but close enough. That was a post. Go, one at a time, claim your uniform, have reactions, good stuff like that. Once the last winner claims their uniform, Anko will give her closer speech and we'll adjorn to the various off-screen parties while slapping one another's backs. )

[tenten]

(Toto Kidate changed her vote for Minako, and it's stated that she was one of the five on the PM Kaji sent out, so I changed it for you, but I cant post as my characters now, its like 6:30

[Gai]

Gai Stood up and claped. Two of his three genin had passed. Gai felt like he was on the top of the world at the moment. He did fell bad about tenten. But he shrugged it off as she would definatly get it the next chuunin exams. That was for sure.But this Day would not be full of sorrow for him. This Day was grand for Gai and All of his three genin.He couldnt wait to see Lee Dressed more like Himself. Gai then Waited for them to get their jacket and make their speech.

[tenten]

Minako had arrived with her team, Kaji, Kazuma and herself. She was surprised to hear she had made the honor of becoming a Chuunin. As her name was called she stood up a little bit shaky. It felt akward to be one of the only ones to be chosen. She felt better knowing that her teammate Kazuma, and her friend Rock Lee would be joining her.

Tenten smiled. She understood completely that she hadn't been made Chuunin. Afterall her fight had lasted but a few minutes before time was up. Tenten was proud however, she felt happy for Lee to have become a Chuunin, and well, Neji was an obvious choice. "Congratulations Neji, you too Lee." She said with a pleasent smile on her face.

Ame and Yoh had arrived late, she and her team had just been eating ramen when she remembered she had to get Yoh to the Exams Ceremony. She wasn't surprised to hear that Yoh hadn't made Chuunin. "No worries Yoh, afterall you just became Genin, there's still a lot for you to learn, when the next one comes around I'm sure you'll be one of the ones selected." She said with a curt nod.

[Kaguya Yoh]

Kazuma arrived at the ceremony with with Kaji, and Minako. A smile was on his face for he was excited. When he heard his name an even wider smile appered. Joy had overfollowed in him. He wanted to just run up there and take the jacket, but then again that would be childish and he just became a Chuunin. Wait until he got home to cemibrate like a child. The demon walked up bowing his head to the jonin there along with a quick bow to the Hokage before he grabbed his jacket. This was truly a great day.

Yoh came right behind Ame. The young genin a little out of breath. Having to run here from the ramen shop was really annoying. When he heard the name a small smile entered his face. Kazuma had passed which was a good thing even if he didn't. He never planned on making it anyways. His head looked up toward Ame giving a smile at his snesei. "I never really planned on making it this time anyway, but thanks" Yoh told her not feeling bad about not making it. Clapping for the ones who won.

Smoke blew out of the Jonin's mouth. Under his clothes he had some bandages to cover the wound from the forest. Damn that assassin. Though this was a time to celibrate not to thing about the assassin. Enishi clapped as Kobu's name was called proud of him for making it to the next level.

(spell check not working sorry for anything thats misspelled)

[Kaji]

A smirk appeared on Kaji's face as he heard Both his students who were participating name's called. Although he decided not to say anything, he knew that their extensive training truely paid off...and for that, he was proud of both of his students for bearing with it. Although the push to become Chunin may have been a bit extensive, it had gotten them there when they had only been through a couple months of training. He knew they would still stick with Kaji for the next few missions, and maybe even would be assigned missions of their own...hopefully. As Team Kaji was now progressing through the ranks far faster than Kaji had expected, and since this bunch was near the best the Jounin had ever had...he was going to miss them as Genin.

Kobu's eyes widened, the flaming headache he had from the forest disappearing instantly. For the boys name had been called, and he didn't even make it to the second round. He turned to Hokori, not knowing what to say...as he turned his head back to the proctor. For Kobu was fresh out of the academy, and had been with his team for only a couple of days. It was akward, yes...and completley unexpected.

For Kobu had already decided he was going to stick with his team for awhile, he still had much to learn from Einishi. And with a shaky walk, he made his way towarsd the stage, already thinking of how awesome he would look in that flak jacket.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Lee, blowing a small windstorm in his wake, arrived in a blur of green and orange. Late to his own chuunin ceremony! The disgrace! He'd spent too long sharing the story of his fight with his squirrels... but now he was here!

Snapping to attention right before the table holding the flak jacket, he saluted before reverently taking the symbol of having made Chuunin, trembling in his excitement. He left the uniform where it lay. Chuunin! Gai-sensei would be so proud!

Lee jumped in the air, pirouetted, put on his jacket, and came down in front of Godaime-sama. "Tsunade-sama, thank you so much!" He bowed again and again, hands alternately sweeping in a bow and fingering the coarse material of the jacket.

He couldnt believe it. He was finally Chuunin, and Neji at the same time! He'd expected to wait until next time after his rather poor performance in the fight against Minako, but apparently some Kami was on the lookout for Rock Lee. Dancing off the stage, he pumped his fists in the air and waved to TenTen and his beloved sensei. "I made it!"

Now that he was a Chuunin, everything would change. Other shinobi who'd never fought him before would respect him, and not mock him for his lack of ninjutsu or genjutsu skills. He'd have his own missions, maybe even A-ranked ones, and not just the endless C-rankers his team had been subjected to. This jacket... it was a symbol that he'd taken a major step towards his goal.

Tears rolled down the face of the taijutsu warrior, happy tears that curved around his wide smile as they fell. He had proven, on this day, for all to see, that he truly was a great ninja.

[Gai]

Gai started to cry he yelled out "LEE!!" As he came up and hugged his little mini-me.He then said still crying. "Im so proud of you." He then looked at Neji and said. "I Am also proud of you too.Neji you did a great Job." He then looked at tenten too.His only Genin to not get a chuunin title. "Theres always next time.And Im sure youl get chuunin next time.Im sure of it."He then wiped his tears away and said. "Okay Ramen for All of you. On me. And Lee...After that I want you to run....0 laps.." Gai smiled. "Its time you took A day off from training." Gai put a arm around all of his genin. He was very proud of all them. Oh how he would miss missions with them.Tears started to rain down his face once more. As memories flashed into his head.

[tenten]

Minako stood proudly as she received her jacket and uniform. She wasn't sure if she'd wear it yet, but definatly when she became Jounin. Minako thanked Tsunade with a bow and a "thank you," Minako couldn't help but noticing Lee making a scene again. Let him have his fun, after all he deserves it, Minako thought with a smile. She turned around to congratulate Lee, and this was the first time she saw Lee with his sensei. She was nearly blown off her feet with the resemblance. Well now we know where he gets it from. She took a step forward, "Congratulations Lee, and to your teammate too,"

Ame was happy with Yoh's reaction. Knowing when things aren't going to go your way without making a scene is a strong trait in a ninja, it will be interesting to see how far he progresses. "I'm glad you feel that way," She took a look around the room, "come on, lets get back to the ramen shop before it gets packed with celebrators." She said, "We'll have time to congratulate the others later, I'm not to confortable leaving Todomatsu there without me, because I'm not paying for more ramen!"

Tenten smiled in a supportive but a look that said, 'Dont make an ass of yourself,' she waved and smiled back. "Don't worry sensei, I'm sure next time around I'll win for sure," Tenten said with a confident smile on her face. Gai-sensei must be so proud, Tenten thought, even though thinking such things was a big 'DUH.'

[alianne]

Neji approached Tsunade. His face was blank, save for a smile. But it was only slight. He received his jacket and uniform with a courteous bow, and words of thanks. And then he slowly walked off stage towards his sensei. But half-way there, he stopped. He should have expected she would be here. Her own white eyes met his in a cold glare. Of course, with the knowledge he had become a Chuunin first, he flashed her a wicked grin. She narrowed her eyes, and made her way down her row towards him until she was standing directly in front of him. He didn't make an effort to move. His grin retained it self.

"Bet you feel good about this, huh, bastard? Don't think it means anything. Fancy titles won't help you on the training grounds. Won't you be embarassed to go to the Hospital and tell them you got you ass handed to you by a Genin with only a few weeks training."

Neji let the smile fade. "I'm not who I used to be. But I will say- don't expect to beat me." He watched as her fists clenched. "You want to punch me? Go ahead. Punch me. In front of the Hokage and Kami knows who else." She gritted her teeth. "I knew it. You couldn't do it. Walk back to your seat before you embarass your-" Before he could finish his sentence, her fist connected with his cheek in a sudden blur of movement, and his back hit the ground, skidding to a halt. "Oh, you stupid wench..." he growled, kicking himself upright. Returning to his feet, his own fists clenched, until he slowly regained control. the veins around her eyes just receded. She had activated her Byakugan.

"So, the newly appointed Chuunin can't counter a simple punch? Pitiful."

"If this was the training grounds, you'd be on the ground, bleeding right now. I'll finish this later." Returning to his sensei, he shot her a glare, but she had already turned and returned to her own seat. He hoped his Sensei didn't say anything...
But knowing Gai, he would.

OOC: *Angst Whore...* XD

[Gai]

Gai looked at Neji with a stern look. Already a chuunin and is making trouble.... Gai thought. Gai wiped hsi eyes and let the Genin memoires of his Past Genin fade.Hw then said to Tenten and Lee. "Ill meet you two at the ramen resturant." He then smiled at the two and walked over to Neji. He looked at Neji with a glare. "Neji...You know better And as a chuunin I'd expect you defainetly should know better.I may not be in charge of you anymore But that still dosent mean you can go around scaring and threatning People below your rank." Gai waited to see if Neji would say anything.

[Kaguya Yoh]

Yoh stared at the ones who were going up. A small smile on his face thinking that they were luckly that they had passed. He looked back at his sensei as she said they should be heading back giving a small laugh at her statment about Todomatsu. "Yeah wouldn't be surprised if he made you broke," he said to her with a chuckle as he turned to the exit. He gave the winners one last look before he headed out to the ramen shop.

The Nerve ninja glared at the newly appointed chuunin. A smile appereing on his face as his student strunk te branch member. Served him right. "That fool needs to learn how to control his students," Enishi said softly giving a cold looked toward Gai. "Good job," he said to his student still smiling proud of what she did. after all Neji is the one who threten.

[Kidate]

Shin watched somewhat bitterly as his fellow Genin became Chunin. He was not angry that he had not made Chunin, nor was he angry at them for making it. It was his first exam, after all. But still, a tiny part of him had been hoping for that flak jacket, and the confort of position it would have provided. Ah, well. Next time, then.

Green eyes sparkled somewhat upstage, as Kidate stood in her proper position has Academy head, watching as the twerps that had once been under her care went on to their latest rank. Two of Kaji's genin had passed, as well as two of Gai's. She would have to congradulate the two- Kaji more so, them having been under him for only a short while. She'd buy him some ramen, then. Plus, that would keep him mouth full of food instead of bragging words. The 27-year-old Jounin resisted the urge to jump around like a fool. Not only was it unbecoming, but she really had to work on her emotional outbursts. Heh.

[Kaji]

Kaji raised his hands behind his head, letting out a booming laugh at the display of the hyuga. Hopefully Kaji's new student, a Hyuga wouldn't act in such a way as these two...quarreling at such a high standing ceromony, no honor. He brushed off the scene, focusing his attention back to his students. Even Kobu had advanced, the scamp who couldn't follow a single rule, barely fresh out of his acceptance into Team Einish. He approached Kazuma, Minako, and Kobu...Placing a hand on Kobu's head as he ruffled his hair. Motioning to him to meet up with his team. With a movement of his Crimson eyes to see Kobu disperse to Einshi, he turned to his students.

He smiled warmly, looking down with an akward sparkle in his eye. "I have to say...I'm proud of you two..." Kaji let out, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. "Chunnins eh? you two will make fine nins, and you've truley proven yourselfs." He let go of their shoulders, shuffling his feet. "Ichiraku is going to be packed tonight, thats for sure." Kaji let out, a poof of smoke appearing in his hand three cartons of steaming ramen and the works sizzled in his hands. He laughed, taking a whiff of the smoking soups. It must have been odd to see, Kaji holding a trio of cartons of ramen, right after the ceromonies...but he knew his students were hungry. "This way you can skip the lines!...I'm pretty sure their your favorite flavors, at least thats what the old man said." Kaji said excitedly handing their ramen over quickly, and in an akward display nearly dropping his own. Barely catchin it on the tip of his foot, he flung it up back to his hands, releasing a sigh of relief. "I'll meet you two at the Tori gate entering here, I have to talk with someone first...

With a nod to his students, he made his way through the crouds, looking for the grim Jounin Einshi. He had to talk to him about a certain incident in the forest of death...one that after information dug up by ANBU, had to do with Kaji himself, and his old friend Kakashi. He approached Einishi, not knowing him personally, but sure that they both knew each others reputation. And with a tap on his shoulder, motioned for him away from his students.

"Tell me everything you know about that Assasin you faced." Kaji let out, skipping the formalities, for they could be dealt with later. "For our lives are at stake..."
