A thunderous crack ruptured the air in the middle of Kitsune Park, disturbing the peace on this otherwise perfectly quiet and sunny day. The park had been empty only seconds ago, yet now, stood in the centre of the coliseum was a tall and broad shouldered man. His tree trunk-like arms sat folded over his chest and revealed the contours of his well-muscled limbs. A smile played on his face, above the brown goatee and well below the emerald irises that punctuated his weathered yet handsome face. Long blue ribbons of fabric flowed down from the leaf headband that glistened proudly across the man’s forehead; the sun glinted from its surface and further played through the etched symbol of Konohagakure that was emblazoned on the metal. For a few seconds after his arrival, the wind whipped around his form carrying the air of confidence that this man radiated out from his station.
Deguchi Shinzo had returned.
The summons had been sent out, notes had been placed upon the academy notice board, and each class of students had been informed that an exam would be taking place for those who felt ready to progress in their shinobi careers. All Shinzo had to do now was wait. It was interesting for him, he had never been a particularly patient child, yet as he grew older his patience seemed to grow with him. Life had been rather unpredictable in that regard. Each class of students he had seen and taught were radically different from one and other in many ways, it would be quite the experience to see what the few who felt brave enough to take his test would bring with them in terms of skill and expertise.
His uniform wasn’t particularly different from many of the main branch shinobi of the village, of course it had some personal flairs, but this time he had a little extra piece of red ribbon tied in a bow just below his left shoulder – clearly this would play a part in the exam to come, and he looked forward to how the students would react to a ninja wearing a bright red bow on his arm.
The wind grew still again as the environment finally accepted the sudden and almost violent arrival of the Jounin. For now he was the only one there, but it would only be a matter of time until the new prospects showed their faces.
