Soon, the sun would be on the rise over the horizon. Magi and Tarou had taken the opportunity to rest upon the training ground itself, while Yumoto was resting under one of the near trees. Something huge and hulking was heading their way, in the shadow of the trees it could've easily been mistaken as some kind of beast. It also seemed to be carrying something, as the distinct sound of chains could be heard clinking from quite a distance. The nearly eight foot tall giant stopped at a short distance before the Thirteenth Training Ground, the sun caught in his emerald eyes as he tried to make out what he could of what was ahead. Whatever he was carrying, he tossed it immediately into a nearby set of bushes. He then proceeded to walk ahead, now unburdened by whatever weight he had decided to bring with him on this day. Upon reaching the quarry, his whole frame was revealed. It was none other than Ieyasu Akimichi, a war veteran known far and wide for his astounding successes in the field of battle as well as a rumored history with the Akatsuki.

Ieyasu cocked his head around, the wolf pelt hanging over his white head of hair craning and twisting with its masters own head. Once he spotted all the genin, he began to take in a large breath. His chest seemed to puff up, but then it kept going to an unnatural degree. Ieyasu was actually using his Akimichi hiden to expand his lungs to reach an unnatural degree of air and hence ... what was coming next.

"ATTEJotenX (talk) 22:30, January 25, 2020 (UTC)NTION!"

He yelled so loud it would seem as if the sky was cracking with thunder, enough to knock anyone out of their grateful resting for good. Ieyasu pointed a hand immediately towards the ground before him, continuing to yell at his students.

"Listen up! From this moment on, when I call for your attention: You will line up in front of me!"

Ieyasu grew deathly silent, waiting to see how his students would scramble into place. Once they did however, he would take out a small list from the pocket of an officer's cloak that he was wearing.

"Ginaja ..."

Ieyasu looked up to see who would respond.

"Tarou ..."

Ieyasu looked up again to see who would respond.

"Yumoto ..."

And with one last look, Ieyasu checked to see who the last chūnin was.

Once the role call was finished, he sat there with a look on his face. It wasn't disappointment, but was equally as sullen of an expression. Finally he turned around and began to walk back into the woods. It was a slow walk back, and as he did everyone could hear the clinking of chains again. There was a muffled screaming, something shaking around in its bonds waiting to be released. Once Ieyasu did come back, it became apparant that he had a person in his hands.

"'Man-Eater' Tsutomu Kuromaru," Ieyasu grabbed the chains with both his hands and began to pull. "One of the Land of Fire's deadliest criminals. He is a cannibal rapist who especially preys upon young boys," Ieyasu easily broke the chains restraining the criminal, "such as yourselves."

With a free hand, Ieyasu took the criminal by his head and swung him down into the pit with the rest of the gang. The man was eagerly taking off his remaining restraints and the cloth that had been gagging his mouth shut. "I gave him directions to kill all three of you," Ieyasu said with impunity, "he is stronger and faster than any of you, but he isn't a shinobi. The three of you, must now restrain and incapacitate by any means necessary before he kills you."

Ieyasu crossed eyes with Yumoto at this moment, speaking some final words, "No killing him." Ieyasu didn't say another word, taking in a deep breath as if he was exhausted by being this social with these three random students. No introductions, no talking, no nothing. Just an extremely hard challenge that would put their lives on the line. Was this for real? There's no way someone could actually do this to three under-age shinobi, right?

Tsutomu began to stand up, his beady eyes whipping back and forth while his teeth turned into a vicious grin. He probably thought this was going to be easy. Would it? Everyone would know soon enough.
