"Oh I'm not lookin to pick any. I think I might be the only shinobi from my village so I'd better be careful not to piss of to many of the other participants.
That weird town sounds like a possibility though. Do you have any idea who that someone might have been or where I could start?"
Shinji was extremely grateful that he had been given some sense of direction, he wasn't expecting the heavens from the man.
"Though if you are preparing for dinner I could always come back later. Don't want to be to much of a hassle for you two"

Kisuke arrived at the fishing village, it was very close to home so they arrived rather quickly. The smell of fish saturated the air. While Kisuke did enjoy the ocean meat the smell was a bit overpowering. Though Fang was a fish maniac, he loved it no matter how it smelled. He watched him sniffing the air and drooling a little as the walked. Though it struck him that this town was a bit small for the chunnin exams. He noticed a tent that liked sorta official and walked over. Reading the letter, it seemed the location had been misrepresented. The fact that they listed a time limit and disqualification if not present was an obvious flag."The first challenge of the exams is to locate the place where the exams take place? What kind of morons are on the exam committee this year? Feels like they ran out of time or were shortstaffed and just pulled something out of their... now I shouldn't judge. I'm sure this serves a greater purpose for my shinobi training other than being an ordinary task." He thought this to himself as he read over the letter. He looked down at fang lowering the letter to his face. Fang sniffed it, the outside envelope and the letter within for different smells. Currently if someone had been lived in the town or something was made in this town. The items would be permeated with fish smells. But, if these items were brought in say from a different location the smell would be different. After smelling the letter Fang smelled around the area and the man who was at the stand. Was he truly a local? Could he be a committee member in disguise? How could they trust a random person to just stand here and make sure everyone gets an envelope? Kisuke laughed as Fang smelled the man, Fang was not invasive in anyway and kept out of the mans personal space."Sorry, living here you probably smell like fish and he loves fish." Fang finished up his smelling of the man and walked back to Kisuke with a goofy grin and his tongue hanging out. People tended to take him not as serious when he looked like that so it was easy to hide intentions. Fang would then let him know if he smelled anything.Kisuke had a sudden though."Hey, I doubt anyone has bothered to ask you, but your a local right? Do you know where the stadium is?" He is obviously trusted by the committee or is part of the committee himself. So he should have some information. Doubt anyone would think of just asking the obvious person. Fang then smelled the ground trying to pick up the locals scent. If he brought the box with envelopes here, he must have carried them from somewhere. Someone with a different scent must have delivered the boxes to the town. And they just received their letters and it hasn't rained so the trail could still be hot. Being by the ocean the ocean breeze would leave the area moist and cool. Keeping any scent particles from drying out or evaporating. While Kisukes nose was not as powerful a dog can single out scents from a variety of things. That's why they are used to hunt game, they can catch the difference between a rabbit or a hare, a fox or a raccoon. While a smell can be overpowering its only affect is at the beginning. Once you become accustomed to a smell then its easier to distinguish between other smells. Kisuke looked down at the village, he could already see other shinobi running around trying to find information. It seemed the games had begun. He then turned to Fang who would give him information on what he smelled and if there was some kind of lead for them to follow from the get go. He also waited for Raichi his teammate make a comment that could help them.
TLDR:Fang-The Wolf, Smelled the Envelope, the letter inside. The envelope container, the "Local" at the envelope stand and the area around them looking for a scent that didn't match the town. The moist ocean breeze and cool air made the conditions perfect for prolonging and picking up scents. As dogs are able to distinguish between smells. Also asked the guy at the tent about the stadium since he's handing out the envelopes wouldn't he have some info? He is also a local which the letters say ask the locals.

It didn't take long for his hunch to come into fruition as Kisuke and Fang came trotting up to him. At the mentioning of recieving an invite Raichi lit up with a cheeky smile with his arms crossed over his chest and his foot scratching the back of his other leg. "Nyehehe. Sure did! Although mine burned up on me." Raichi frowned at the thought he couldn't keep his invite. Hopefully he wouldn't need it later. It seemed Kisuke read his mind which returned his frown back to the toothy grin. "Great minds think alike. I'm not sure about you, but I did some hardcore training," Raichi started to stretch to emphisise his point, "and I feel like I've leveled up. I had hit a wall with my chakra training, but whatever I did it like burst forth out of nowhere only to halt again. Can't complain tho' I guess." After he was done with his stretching Raichi shoveled his hands into his pockets. "Ready to go?" [Potential exit if Kisuke and Fang exit with their next post]

Was there an echo in here? She'd totally said she'd worked at Ichiraku, so it was weird to hear that another two times. She'd put her hands up defensively."Hey, hey, now let's everyone just calm the ******** down."What were they feeding these people? OK, obviously fish, but the out of towners? Did the rest of the world consist of gruel and sawdust like the peasants they were? Both Yado and Yuna were suspect now, because they had even heard of the place that was inside of a ninja village. They were useless for information then. Shiori'd hold her finger up to her lips with a side eye to Yuna, waiting for her to shut up."The secret is a secret. Maybe. The grocery store. Cramped."That shoulda been every question in order. Hideo would come and go, talking to Yuna before going out, adding one more to Shiori's list of who could not be trusted as a source. At least she had a room and a way to earn some dough, so this test wouldn't be a total loss. Guess she'd have to do some real ninja stuff eventually and confirm her theory, eventually. What was she doing again?"Alright alright alright. Where's the kitchen, my room, the grocer's, and what do you have lying around? Ingredients, utensils, cookware?"

It was needless to say, but Raichi was overwhelmed with excitement. If there was anything he loved more than a nice bowl of hot and spicy beef, it was fish. It also didn't help he grew up in a small fishing village much like this one before moving to Konoha with his siblings. For now, Raichi resisted his urges to go out and explore the shanty town for a bait and tackle shop so he could get his fishing on and simply followed behind Kisuke and Fang. When they found the tent with the new information Raichi shrugged internally. So this would be the first part of the exams, to find the exams? Sounds like something you would read out of a spy book or something. After Fang sniffed the man up and down Raichi turned to face him, apparently the same time Kisuke did and asked the same thing.
"Hey, I'm sure people have already asked you, but you're a local right? Do you know where the Stadium is?" it took a moment for him to realize they both spook at the same time and that they asked the man the same thing differently. To Raichi it was obvious this man should be the first to ask, but then again he was a simple man and was pretty direct. He would wait for the man to answer and upon receiving his answer he would either thank the man and pop a squat near a tree to get a comfortable look down at the village, or he would ask another question. It really just depended on how the man or woman, can't assume genders here, responded.

Chet was an absolute mess when he made it to the exams. Ever since he finished his basic training with his squad he made up for lost time and celebrated with his friends. Things went great at the start, but as the night went on things darkened. Kokoro left Chet during his party. She told him that she expected him to change once he got the headband and quit throwing away his time and laugh with debauchery. He laughed at her face. There would be nothing not even Kokoro herself that could change who he was. So she left the party and left him for good. "******** do I care?" He asked everyone at the party. No one really paying attention to what had just happened, but everyone cheered. "let's make some ******** noise!" Chet was a well known rapper in the underground scene of Konohagakure. Yung Oni. The namesake of his clan and his horns always put Chet off. He felt like he was the descendant of demons. So he took it as his alias together with an oni mask. He would sing with the main rapper of the night. The famous Cha Kura. People were roaring calling their names. Lights on them. Stage built. Chaos in the crowd. The background music started. Cha Kura grinned and began his verse.
My momma called, seen you on TV, son Said s**t done changed ever since we was on I dreamed it all ever since I was young They said I wouldn't be nothing Now they always say congratulations Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation They ain't never had the dedication People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it Yeah, we made it
They was never friendly, yeah Now I'm jumping out the hail mary, yeah And I know I sound dramatic, yeah But I know I had to have it, yeah For the money, I'm a savage, yeah I be itching like a addict, yeah I'm surrounded, twenty bad bitches, yeah But they didn't know me last year, yeah Everyone wanna act like they important (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But all that mean nothing when I saw my dough, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everyone countin' on me, drop the ball, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everything custom like I'm at the border, yeah, yeah If you ******** with winning, put your lighters to the sky How could I make sense when I got millions on my mind? Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes
My momma called, seen you on TV, son Said s**t done changed ever since we was on I dreamed it all ever since I was young They said I wouldn't be nothing Now they always say congratulations Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation They ain't never had the dedication People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it Yeah, we made it.
Cha Kurt sang and chet drank more and more as the song went on. He was furious, but wanted to numb it all. When his verse came he threw his bottle up in the air, raised his left arm, put the mic up to his mouth and closed his eyes. "I was patient. Here ah oh. I was patient. Yeah uh. Now I can scream that we made it now every every I go they say gratulations. Young ninja young ninja graduating. I pick up the rock and I ball baby. I'm looking for someone to call baby, but right now I gotta situation. Never old been ry-ryos. Big rings. Champagne. My life is like a ball game, but instead I'm in a trap though. Trap so good call it genjutsu. Genjutsu call the hoes. Get in the rows ninja life style. Ya Cha Kura and On-i aye." Chet dropped into the crowd.
Now he was wandering around a town he knew nothing about wondering what in the ******** this had to do with anything. Why couldn't he just fight already? His eyes caught a random stranger and he grabbed them by force. His breathe smelling like a hospital. "Where in God's green earth is the stadium you little s**t?"
I said it's too late for me.

"Yeah, I'm Wata. What's Meshi want? If he sent you here for hooch, I've got nothin' for him. His puke peeled the paint off of the Grand Liner Wata and he ain't paid me back yet."
Bingo. This seemed to be the rumored Wata. The aforementioned Grand Liner Wata floated nearby, providing further confirmation that his words were true. The paint-less streak running down the side of the vessel was just another item on the pile of evidence that this man was definitely not lying to Hideo.
The Grand Liner Wata was a decently sized ship for someone from such a small town, but it had been patched and repaired using parts from other ships so many times that it was hard to tell what kind of vessel it originally was. It had seats like a ferry and was painted like a yacht, but stank to the high heavens of fish and was covered in the equipment used by a big game fisherman. Underneath the paint near the back was an outline of another ship's name, though time and the ocean had made it difficult to tell what that name was.
Odoeb
Ryou shook his head and shrugged at the question.
"Can't remember who it was for the life of me, but Crazy Sho at the grocery would know better than me. Any town like that has to be gettin' food from somewhere, and the desert ain't great for crops. She might've tried to sell 'em something, I figure."
One of the lobsters twitched, so Ryou reached over and gave it a good smack. It didn't twitch after that.
"If you're looking for dinner, try the inn," he recommended warmly. "They make food you travelers seem to enjoy better than the fish, at least. These shrimp are a bit of an acquired taste, so I don't recommend it if you're just passing through."
Grand Chevalier Haji
"Sorry, kids, I don't know any more than you do," the man handing out the envelopes said with a shrug. He smelled like the same combination of fish and ocean that most of the town did, albeit with a hint of milk. "Letters came in on a bird a couple days ago, that's all I know. Damn thing wasn't very friendly, either, not like your dog."
The envelope smelled like sweat, brine, a bird, and freshly churned earth, while the letter smelled more strongly of dust and trees. There were several foreign scents that crisscrossed each other throughout the village, some of them (including one which reeked of booze) leading toward the inn, a few to the docks, and others around town. The scent of the bird found on the envelope would hang close to the ground for a few feet before disappearing; its vector pointed somewhere between the open sea and a line that intersected part of the Wind Country.
Indefatigable Interloper
"Back of the house; second door upstairs; two houses up the road; some fish, flour, eggs, a couple chickens, a few bundles of herbs we got off a trader from the Leaf, and some salt and pepper; knife, cleaver, spoon, and spatula; big pot, small pot, wok, and kettle," Yado responded eagerly, adopting the response mannerisms Shiori had displayed. She was clearly very excited to help with what she considered to be a fully stocked kitchen, never even considering how sparse their inventory actually was.
The Not So Casual Otaku
"Sorry, kids, I don't know any more than you do," the man handing out the envelopes said with a shrug. "Letters came in on a bird a couple days ago, that's all I know. Damn thing wasn't very friendly, either, not like your dog."
If Raichi then opted to squat nearby, he would see espy some commotion over at the inn, a young girl getting accosted by a hooligan, and some workers down on the docks. While there wasn't a bait-and-tackle shop, per se, the general store did display some rods in its front window. Out on the horizon, he would note a few ships were coming in as the evening came on, signaling the return of the fishermen who'd spent the day at sea.
malavaes
Chet caught the eyes of a small girl who was wunning away from the docks at a leisurely pace. When he accosted her, she didn't know how to respond. Her eyes started to water up and she inhaled deeply to scream, but his scent must have had a profound effect on her, because she gagged and pinched her nose shut to avoid smelling him any more. Not two seconds later, a middle-aged woman would come bounding out of a house, brandishing a cast iron skillet like a weapon.
"What do you think you're doing to my little girl, you punk?!" the woman cried while winding up to swing.

As Elizabeth listened to the group of shinobi talk to the locals trying to get information; she learned a fair bit herself. She waited, picking up information about a possible island out at sea. She moved past the group, twitching a finger as she passed the girl with the hoodie. A faint line of chakra would catch the breeze and stick to the girls hoodie as she walked away, letting the line spool out. She moved to the fisherman that were returning from the days labor. She would hold up a small bundle of notes and speak very clearly to them. "500 ryo for information." She would say, and speak quieter if anyone came closer. "500 ryo to learn if there has been a surfacing of a new island in your routes or a friends route. No bullshit. You dont want to give me bad intell. If you dont know, walk away. If you give good intel, theres more in the future." she would continue if anyone looked interested.

Shinji rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Crazy Sho it was then. He stood up and gave a deep bow towards Ryou.
"Thank you very much for your help and information Ryou. I hope good fortune comes your way, have a nice afternoon sir"
With that Shinji walked away and eventually off the docks. However it was only until he had gotten lost among the buildings that he realized he hadn't gotten directions as to WHERE exactly the grocery was. It'd only take a few questions from the locals or looking out for a sign before he'd make his there with a bit less time then before.
Once inside the grocery mart he'd look for anyone who worked there and ask them if he would be able to talk to Sho.

He was late.
Not super late since the exams hadn't officially started yet, but he'd gotten so caught up in his training that he probably could have been here a LOT earlier. Whatever. He was here now and that was all that mattered... why was it just a simple fishing village though? He was about to enter the village, Scylla trailing behind him, when a young man nearby hailed him down, arms waving frantically to get his attention. The man offered up a letter towards him and he politely thanked him as he grabbed it out of his hand.
An annoyed scowl formed on his face as he read the note, immediately knowing that there was no way this was a mistake. They wouldn't make such a stupid mistake for such an important event. It just didn't make any sense so... was it possible this was the first exam already? That was annoying. How was something like this supposed to make him stronger? "I don't suppose you know anything huh?" he mused, certain that even if the man DID know something he wouldn't tell him. The boy waited for a moment anyways to see how he would answer before entering the village.
As he walked he held his hands up into a single seal, muttering "kai." His specialty was Genjutsu so he decided to go with what he knew. He used the largest amount of chakra he could, so if this place was somehow under the effects of a Genjutsu then anything hidden from view would be quickly revealed to him. He pulled out both the first and the second letter he received to check them over just in case they looked different now.
๑๑๑๑As the man turned to answer Hideo caught sight of his vessel nearby, paint stripped from the side in what seemed to clearly be from someone leaning over it and puking. It was Wata's, and the man confirmed that it was indeed him. It was odd to the boy that he owned such a large ship compared to the rest, it seemed outfitted to hold more than just a man and his haul. He couldn't make out the old name on the vessel, but at least he was on the right track. Shaking his head a bit as the man inquired about this being a visit to ask for more booze, the young Hyuuga began.
"No, no not at all. I'm actually here on his behalf to help clear some of that debt. I'm pretty good with my hands, and I've got what some would say a gift for seeing the best fishing spots in the water. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind someone helping out and trying to catch some of the bigger shrimp way out in the depths? If I don't find you a spot with some huge ones I'll outright pay you for the trip out there, but if I do I'll let you have all of my haul save for one shrimp. I figure that'll cover whatever he owes ya, or at least most of it."
Elizabeth's gambit yielded absolutely no returns. The weary sailors would look at her--some would even look at her money--and then turn back to their work. While there weren't nearly as many fishermen in this minuscule village as there were in much larger areas, the few that were there had unanimously opted to ignore her offer without so much as a word to each other. Some sort of pride bound them together, or perhaps a sense of duty, or perhaps they'd been hired by the planning committee and told to ignore such offers. Then again, they also might have simply been tired and hungry and responding would've delayed food and sleep.
Odoeb
As soon as Shinji walked into the grocery it would immediately become obvious just who "Crazy" Sho was: a behemoth of a woman loomed behind the counter, her face barely visible through all the bulk on the rest of her body, a lazy eye staring off into space, her lips etched into a permanent scowl. A faint wheezing sound could be heard as she drew breath, her layers of muscle and fat evidently straining her respiratory system like an elephant on a tightrope.
"Getchercrapandgetout!" the mountain of meat barked at him in a tone that sounded simultaneously welcoming and more frigid than a tundra.
BlackJack1995
"Nope, not really," the man responded dismissively with a shrug.
The attempted Kai did absolutely nothing to alter the scenery, except possibly make the boy feel lightheaded if he'd exerted a huge amount of Chakra. If anything the village and the letters might seem to be even more like they had already been, as though the illusion that they could've been fake had been dispelled.
Luo1304
Wata stared at Hideo.
"No," he responded after about a minute. He sounded incredibly tired, or perhaps scared. "The sea ain't right these days. Crazy waves, giant shrimp... The dancing lights in the deep... And then you get the fog that swallows you whole... No, I ain't goin' back out there without a dozen people backin' me up."
And that was that. He offered nothing else, at least not immediately. He just went back to work, looking somewhat deflated.

Shinji looked to Sho with a neutral smile, almost enjoying the tone she used in an odd way.
"Ryou told me you might know about a new island that appeared. What he didn't tell me was that the local grocer was a sight for sore eyes.
Of course I don't want to be a hassle to you mam. Must be pretty busy running the main grocery mart, if that is the case I'd be willing to help ya out for a bit of information"

Kisuke smiled at the local as he gave him everything he knew and even though he said he knew nothing. The information he told them was helpful in itself. He laughed when he spoke of the birds demeanor."Well if we see it, Well mess with it a little for you. Fang loves chasing birds."He told the man in a joking tone as he followed Raichi to off to the side to pop a squat overlooking the village where no one was around them. Fang then returned after smelling the area to relay his information. He spoke to Raichi in a soft tone, information was valuable in this exam. They could potentially exchange it with others for more info. So Fang would walk around them making sure no one was eavesdropping."So fang didn't find anything different on the man, the envelopes did have traces of sweat particles which isn't much. But he did detect freshly churned earth. That could mean some kind of construction going on nearby? Maybe something that didn't used to be there before suddenly appeared. They could be making an underground stadium and that's why the locals haven't noticed anything."Kisuke went into his pack and brought out an earbud."Here, we can communicate long distance with this. Lets keep each other informed but don't say anything to important out loud."Kisuke then prepared the last bit of info he had."Also, this might be important or maybe not. But Fang was able to track the birds path at take off its direction was towards the sea, so something might be out there. Or the damn bird could have been hungry on its way back."Kisuke stood and called fang, gave him his instructions to look for clues and hopefully not get distracted. Kisuke looked up and noticed that ships were starting to come in, that meant the days job was done and they were coming back to rest. That meant tired, and hungry. Kisuke nodded at Raichi as he headed down to the docks as ships rolled in. He was arriving as they were finishing unloading things.. He was surprised to see how insanely large the shrimp were. But he had an objective, he wasn't going to target their wallets, he wasn't going to threaten them. He was going to hit them in their one weak spot, their stomachs."Hey fellas, I just got here and I'm starving, anyone care to show me to best spot and best food in town? Your food and drinks are on me of course!"Of course he couldn't pay for all of them, depending on how many took the offer he'd pick a couple who seemed to know their stuff. And he'd roll with that.

Meanwhile, Fang had been walking by the inn when he heard a word he was very very very familiar with, Ichiraku. Of course when your partner always says the same thing when he asks you if you want to go to a certain place. You start getting excited just hearing the word. Fang's attention was suddenly dragged in that direction as he quietly entered the establishment. He found the two girls one seemed very excited and the other seemed worried. He smelled them both, one smelled foreign, like sand, metal and dust. The other smelled like home, and Ichiraku's. He liked that silver haired girl better at this point. Fang sat there looking at both, even though he couldn't follow what they were saying. There were others in the room as well.

It didn't take long for his hunch to come into fruition as Kisuke and Fang came trotting up to him. At the mentioning of recieving an invite Raichi lit up with a cheeky smile with his arms crossed over his chest and his foot scratching the back of his other leg. "Nyehehe. Sure did! Although mine burned up on me." Raichi frowned at the thought he couldn't keep his invite. Hopefully he wouldn't need it later. It seemed Kisuke read his mind which returned his frown back to the toothy grin. "Great minds think alike. I'm not sure about you, but I did some hardcore training," Raichi started to stretch to emphisise his point, "and I feel like I've leveled up. I had hit a wall with my chakra training, but whatever I did it like burst forth out of nowhere only to halt again. Can't complain tho' I guess." After he was done with his stretching Raichi shoveled his hands into his pockets. "Ready to go?" [Potential exit if Kisuke and Fang exit with their next post]

Passives: [•] Can cast jutsu by saying or mouthing the names of the seals instead if hands are occupied. You must be able to speak the words, and your jaw/lips/tongue must be in no way impeded. This would mean that if gagged, you would still be unable to utilize the technique. Simply mouthing the words will not suffice. Keep in mind, too, that this in no way increases the number of Activations you receive per post, nor the overall speed of the techniques themselves. [•] -20 Chakra cost for Bloodline techs to a minimum cost of 5 [•] hen you perform bloodline techniques above Rank D, you are refunded {05} chakra or {05} stamina, depending on which energy was used. [•] Your bloodline techniques possess greater power, allowing them to overwhelm techniques of the same rank, and preventing them from succumbing to elemental weaknesses of techniques the same rank. Can cast bloodline techniques through one-handed seals. [•] The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. [•] With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. [•] The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. [•] The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. [•] The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique from this Style without paying the cost. [•] The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. [•] The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease.

Now this was proving to be annoying. So the twin initially skidded to a stop just outside of the coordinates he had been sent for the Exam Stadium. It was clear as he approached that this was not the place. He decided to wake his sister, if only so she could listen in to what was going on. To anyone else it would seem as though he were talking to himself, as his sister's head was hidden underneath one of those cool bamboo hats with the streamers that the akatsuki used to wear. "This place doesn't seem like a good place to hold an exam..." he trailed off as he was hailed by the man who was to be handling new arrivals. He handed Jay the letter and the male let his eyes read over it, vocalizing the words for Jeon's sake as well. Jay didn't immediately notice, but it would seem Hitoshi had arrived ahead of him as well. Twas what he got for waiting on his squadmates. Still, with a confident smile he nodded towards his newest friend. "Looks like we were given some bad info. I think I'm gonna head for the general store pal. I know we aren't squadmates, but there's nor reason we can't help each other, ani?" He would trot off along the path closest to the water, contemplating jumping into it but known Jeon didn't like how jerkily he swam. For now, he would opt out. Instead, he approached the older man who ran the general store as soon as he entered it. He smiled and bowed lightly as he observed the man's features, trying to discern anything but ultimately only having normal sight and intuition of a genin who worked day in and day out in a hospital. So not much at all. He spoke to him respectfully. "Annyeongahseyo! My name is Jay Park, hailing from Kumo. I was wondering... and this might sound bad all things considered, but do you, by chance, know where the exam stadium is? The directions sent me here but it looks like... they might have just been wrong. Also... I see this is a fishing town... I don't suppose this far out of swamp country anyone cooks Catfish Eomuk? It's... like a crabcake but made with catfish and... well these little things that are like shellfish we used to call mudcrabs..." A small shift on his back reminded him to stay on topic. Still he had to ask.

Oh wow, this joint actually have some decent s**t laying around. The less she had to spent to get the kitchen running for a little while, the better. Shiori had excellent taste in weapons coming up, and those were also incredibly expensive. Rapping her knuckles on the counter, she'd get up to see what the grocery had, waving too Yado silently, nodding to Yuna, when she stopped suddenly, then looked down at the inn's new patron. That doge had been in the Hokage's temporary office with a ninja from her village. Fang's master who Shiori hadn't met would be running around here somewhere, only he had seen Kanzaki when his hair was still black. He had an upper hand, which evaporated the moment he realized with an animal here, she wasn't able to change her scent. Shiori didn't panic visibly, though."Well what do we have here?! Ohmygosh you're cute."She'd approach Fang with her hand out for him to sniff, and if she wasn't bitten, she'd knee in front of him and pet him, scritch his ears, ad hug him, cooing like an idiot. A least until the hug, where she said just low enough to barely hear herself, which would be fine for Fang."Back of the Inn. You and your partner. Fifteen minutes."With that, she gave Fang a rub under his chin and headed out to walk a couple houses up the street.
Not knowing his name, Shiori knew what Kisuke looked like. Fang knew her scent. But just because others weren't trying to hide who they were and why they were here didn't mean she'd stop just because she would be found out if they crossed paths. It'd make a stink of she exploited anyone from her own home, so she may as well ruin his chances to use her identity against her and share what little they knew since they arrived, revealing herself outright. Possibly cooperate for a short period. Still convinced that this was the testing place, or at the very least locals and other ninjas couldn't be so casually trusted, she still needed to bring something to the table if she was going to work with someone.
On she headed until she got the grocery store, which she hoped had something she could make into some kind of chemical irritant. Or at least able-to-be-improperly-cooked-but-look-fine-to-the-untrained-eye sort of foodstuffs. A plan was coming together in her mind, a couple of them, actually. Ways to get information that weren't as obvious as the small crowd of newcomers to this place, like herself, who had no shame in asking around for the supposed stadium. Like this Minato-Namikaze looking kid, who was just bringing up new islands and OBVIOUS LIES about Sho's comely appearance. But not really. Coming in and not waiting for Shinji to finish spouting his nonsense, Shiori walked right past him, looking aroud the store for anything that suited her fancy, looking at a jar of this or a box of that, trying to remember how the hell to make noodles.
