Listen & Read

It was quite the ride to the Land of Iron. Tiatsu decided to go on horseback instead of following the many caravans that were dispatched by the various villages. Unluckily in Tiatsu’s own opinion, he was selected to be the proctor of the second round. Essentially a judge/match caller. They couldn’t spare the Jounin from guard detail so they sent the next best thing. A strong capable Uchiha. Tiatsu could be seen by everyone for the majority of the ride if they were simply looking around the caravan as it traveled. He was in the middle for the most part since rear-guard and front guard is a death trap incase an ambush was a foot. Though the multiple days travel went completely smooth and eventually all made it to the exams starting point.

Tiatsu had to be honest with himself, from what he saw of the Iwagakure crew. They were about as strong as him or possible stronger. The Sunagakure looked about on-par with Konoha. Considering their shinobi core had to be rebuilt from the ground up that was no small feat on the Kazekage’s part. He should be dually commended for such effort. He thought to himself.

Iwagakure was always strong, but now they had a slight center stage along Land of fire.

As the groups gathered and begun to enter the starting area of the exams. Tiatsu was allowed simply because he was a proctor to go over and check the status of each crew, which he did. Tiatsu and his horse trotted past Iwagakure and they all gave him strong jawed stares and nothing more. He passed Sunagakure, they were a bit friendlier. Waving and smiling towards the mounted Uchiha. Then he’d pass the starting point of Team one.

His former teammate and the two lackeys he was on a mission with awhile back. He’d stop if they said anything to him, if not he’d simply give them a look and continue to trot on. Once he got to the starting point of team two he noticed Kideme. This would cause him to get off of his horse and walk over to her. Zaiko was beside her as well dawning Samurai armor. Impressive considering, he wasn’t close to one in stature or training.

Tiatsu was currently dressed in a black long sleeve thermal shirt. He had two more under this one so it made him look bulkier. It was meant to keep him warm essentially. He had a black face mask on as well that matched the description of a typical ninja of the past. His hair was in a ponytail hanging behind him. Now he spoke, the cold air flowing from between his lips.

“Toad mouth, Kideme. I wanted to give you these and wish you good luck.” Tiatsu pulled off two circular gauntlets from his wrists and offered them to Kideme. “These are hidden blade gauntlets. It may save your life in there. Flick the underside hard enough and they will stab forward. As for you Toad mouth.” He threw Zaiko a scroll on it was labeled ‘Steel Yari Spear’. “Use that to protect her. “

Tiatsu would then walk back towards his horse and if they had anything to say this was the time.
