Whenever there'd be a public sparring match between two shinobi, the citizens of leaf would make their way to Kitsune Park in hopes to watch a mesmerising fight that could possibly be the talk of the village for a day or two. As part of Aria and Mitsuha's initiation, Keniwa requested to his Sensei that they go through the same initiation in to the squad that he had faced himself. Though not against the gunslinging Head Jounin mind you, but rather the newly appointed Jounin. However one of them was in absolutely no condition whatsoever to battle, him and Aria had just went on a deadly mission where she had poured her heart and soul in to protecting the others and keeping them alive. She earned her rest and as much as she might have wanted to, she couldn't fight him at 100% and so for now her test was postponed. Regardless of whether she could fight or not right now the Kyoujouran respected her all the same a mighty warrior. For today she'd watch.
However... Mitsuha... He only knew a few things about the young kaguya, similar to him her skin can become a hard substance stronger than most steels and that she was very shy, almost to a deadly amount. She'd do anything to stay in the dark, and for that reason...
Being a shinobi meant fighting against it all, your strengths, your weaknesses, you never know what you'll be up against out on the field. And for that reason Keniwa asked for it to be held in the coliseum with an audience, all were welcome to come. When Ishi faced Keniwa, the jounin had to learn to rise above his weaknesses and stand steadfast against it all, today Mitsuha would do the same in a different way. Though she didn't know this, at least to his understanding, was that they were going to fight in the arena. Yet as the two neared the arena it was clear to here the audience's murmurs and whispers, growing louder.
As the two reached the entrance he would say to her "Alright Mitsuha todays the day you join your squad! Ishi and Aria will be watching... And uhm.. a few other people... To tell you the truth there will actually maybe be a couple hundred here. My parents are coming to watch as well! Maybe yours heard of it to? I have no idea." He expected to probably get an upset response yet he'd already mentally prepared for it. "As Shinobi we'll have to face our fears. I just wanted to ask you, uhm are you okay with me going all out in this fight? I'm sure you'll do great! I just... don't want to hurt you." It might have sounded insulting but it was coming from a genuine place, his tone sounded worried and concerned. He wanted to push her to the mettle, not exactly shatter it.
