-Akui Hatake-

With the smiling mountains' permission, Akui accompanied the group as far as the ranger line to give Ozai a few tips since he was pretty much left behind in the last exercise to a remote island. From what Akui saw, the majority of the group aside from the Hope of the Pyre lacked teamwork. While the group had a few moments in which they would work with one another, it was a shaky bond from beginning to end. He even noticed it now as he and Ozai were meeting up with the rest of the group. Once they had reached the Ranger's danger line, Akui knelt on one knee next to Ozai. The two over the course of the week had grown close that Ozai looked to him as an older brother. Akui was pulling something out of his sleeves the present a small box. When Ozai opened it, his eyes went wide and he looked at Akui happily before pulling out a small silver whistle on a necklace. "You might not be able to scream for help but with this, you can at least whistle for it." He would then pull out a small scroll and present it to him. "You can communicate with this if you need me although I want you to try your best so you don't have to ok?"

-Ozai Senju-

The pair were using sign language to communicate with one another as they walked to catch up with the rest of the group. Over the course of a week, he had been studying and learning scroll communication and sign language which didn't come easy at first but eventually he learned enough to be at adept level.

As the hatake knelt before him, Ozai had a puzzled look on his face before he was presented the whistle and scroll. Upon the Hatake's question, Ozai nodded his head furiously in response then arched his back and opened his mouth wide and he I took a lot of air into his lungs. As he was about to blow his hardest into the whistle, he instead made farting noises as his mouth was quickly covered by Akui. Ozai looked up with his piercing green eyes to see the Hatake wiggling a finger in his ear before speaking. "Trust me, it works." Ozai pointed and opened his mouth as if to laugh at Akui but not a sound came out. He then hugged Akui and took off to join the others, his eyes set on the only friend he made thus far.

Seeing Kai, he ran towards her and semi-tackled into her back, embracing her tightly before letting go. Anyone else including Kai would notice that Ozai was wearing a large takuhatsugasa with a cloak that came just past his elbows and traditional shinobi pants with a battle skirt and sandals. The cloak was a dark green and so was the rope that tied the skirt to his pants. His pants were black and so were his sandals and his robes were dark green with gray lining. He also had a large scroll tucked behind him and a smaller one on his left side. Ozai would then pull out the necklace whistle from inside his shirt to dangle it and show Kai.

Ozai had a bright smile on his face that made the tattoos on his cheeks swell wider than they originally appeared. He would then move his hands in small arcs between them both asking, " How are you?" While he waited for an answer, his long thick hair would sway to either side as Ozai looked at his surroundings noticing the Hope of the Pyre, keeping to themselves, and other new faces as well. He would notice also that Kai had been speaking to a white haired boy. Ozai would wave to him and show a large smile on his face before being awed by his katana. While the two talked, Ozai walked around Nobu to get a better look of the blade...getting rather close and personal.
