Another day, another Raikage task. Ordinarily Kitsune would just let Yamaru handle examinations of the students, or deciding who did them, but seeing as the one up for promotion was one Miro-chan, whom Kitsune had taught, she felt the cheeky urge to take the exam and do it herself. Besides, who’d argue against it? Less work for whomever else could’ve been the proctor. Kitsune had a simple test in mind. It’d demonstrate how well Miro-chan could handle various skills that were essential to shinobi. It’d be a test of stealth, dexterity, skill… And drinking tea. It looked strange at first, but there was a reason for it.
Kitsune had set up a table in a gazebo inside a large hedge maze, and prepared a tea party, so to speak. Miro’s task was to get to the table and sit down without being detected by anyone. There were clones patrolling the maze to try and catch Miro, but if handled skillfully, Miro could get past them without confrontation. Or if necessary, a precision throw with a shuriken or kunai to the neck would take them out in one hit and clear the way forward as well.
However, the guards weren’t the biggest challenge Miro would face. There were traps inside the maze too… Projectile traps that could launch a volley of shuriken at an unsuspecting test taker… Jutsu sealed inside scrolls that could be unleashed if one were to take a wrong step... And many other similar devious devices. To begin, Miro had gotten a scroll in the mail inviting them to a tea party, instructions for how to approach, as well as directions to the maze entrance. Of course, one could easily just hop over the hedges, but that’d result in being ejected from the maze and having to start all over again.
[Good luck Miro~]
