Listening to them and their answers brought a slight flashback of his own childhood. These kids were mostly happy and content with big aspirations, he wasn't so fortunate at their age. Hatred brought him to where he was now, not that it was a bad thing but... If he could change the cycle of progress from his own experiences to make their's better it is now his duty to do so.

Nodding his head "Thank you all for sharing, great aspirations you all have and even greater strengths for recognizing your weaknessess instead of masking them with false bravado." he would say as his eyes locked on Zhiro, as this was directed towards him. "I will now give myself a proper introduction. I am Akihiro Uchiha a Jonin of Konohagakure and your new squad leader. I have a past of which most look down upon and have done things I may not be too proud of, but it has molded a battle tested and hardened shinobi who has faced death eye to eye and won on multiple occassions."

"I ask you all of these deep questions to make sure you are ready to dedicate your life to a life loss, sorrow, regret, and inthe end a lifetime of comradery if youu stick to the path of the hidden leaf. I am but an Autumn leaf beginning to change color as my time in this life is shown. You are the fresh green leaves this village will thrive on for a long time. From the answers you have provided I have no doubt that you will progress and become great shinobi."

"But... I also notice we all share a common thing. We all have a liking for swords! So your first task is this." he would pause as he reached his left arm behind his back and grasped his great sword with his gauntlet unsheathing it and swinging it forward flipping its ti forward towards the ground as it connected cracking the earth below. "The first to dislodge this sword from the ground passes your first exam." he would say as he raised up this brutal piece of metal with both hands before slamming it into the ground with a forced enough to shake the ground and crack the earth even more, lodging the sword half into the ground.

"Begin." would be the last thing he would say as he would observe their teamwork if that is what they would choose to do.
