Each time a contender stepped forward there was cheer. But when Guren stepped forward? When Guren stepped forward the clan lost their minds. Guren was easily considered the strongest of the Uchiha, he was around during the reign of Takahiro, he went on the journey to the New World and came back alive, albeit without his son. Because of these reasons, Guren was probably the favored for the position of Lord. Even the Male Elder showed his support for Guren by stepping forward and clapping with the crowd.

And then Deucalion stepped forward, he recieved a few cheers but nothing compared to the others. In fact, somewhere in the crowd, a few questions were being raised "Who is he?" "Never seen him before" "He's got no chance against Guren, none of them do". Now, it should be noted that when Guren stepped up to the plate he positioned himself ahead of the other five, a very clear show of his confidence, of his superiority and of course, everyone knew who Guren was so none of the five made a comment, Guren had earned his confidence but they knew that if they let him step forward and beat him, their rightful place as Lord was all the more earned. But Deucalion? A youngster who had barely any recognition amongst the clan step BESIDE Guren? Well now, that was just disrespectful. All five of those behind them just tutted "Pathetic" one of them muttered. And as if to add salt to Guren's wound another nobody stepped forward, getting the same response from the crowd. The stunning woman, who, despite Yahiko's physical appearance somehow seemed more stunning than Yahiko was at this moment almost as beautiful as a goddess when up close, she shook her head and looked ahead.

After the five minutes were up no body else would step forward. The twin elders would step forward and point to Deucalion "You are no man! You are but a child!" They spoke in perfect unison "You will never pass your Right of Passage! YOU MAY NEVER BE A" They were cut off by the Male who stepped forward "All members can attempt to be the Lord ... Attempt, being the key word" He would then prepare to carry on, making it very clear that any outburst from Deucalion would lose him his chance right there and right now. He made no comment about Yahiko, why would he? She had achieved nothing, she had not made a name for her self, the challenges would weasel her out eventually.

"CONGRATULATIONS to those of you who stepped forward. Your path begins now. You will be provided with challenges and tests which are designed to test your qualities. These tests were designed by previous lords of the past, namely the Hiro Dynasty. As many of you are aware, the Great Forest located far in the back of our compound was planted by Mahiro Uchiha over 200 years ago. For the Hiro Dynasty, that forest was a source of spiritual energy, it was their duty to uphold it, but since the death of Takahiro, no one has been there. Deep within the forest, you will encounter your first test. Well ... I should say you will be tested on whether or not you are worthy." He would chuckle "If the contenders would follow us"

The Elders would lead the wanna be lords to the outskirts of the forest. The Forest once upon a time would have been tranquil but now it was overgrown and truly wild. No light managed to breach the canopy of the forest "When you reach the center, you will be tested and allowed to leave. Good luck!" With that they would be ushered into the forest and instructed to wander deeper. Immediately upon entering everyone would suddenly feel the feelings of eyes upon them, like something was watching them.
