Izumi
A-rank
Izumi woke up early that morning, the memories of the trial the day before racing through her mind. Izumi had bandaged her wound rather than actually use medical ninjutsu to heal it, she hadn't wanted to reveal all her abilities so early on. In fact, Izumi was quite upset at herself for showing what she did show. While she showed only her most basic techniques of Raiton and Katon, some sparks and a fireball. Izumi however did think she could use that fireball to her advantage, anyone who knew she could make the fireball might be expecting it. However, there's no way they'd be expecting her other techniques that appeared to be a simple fireball and were instead something more sinister. The Karisuma woman, wanted to try some local food this morning. It was a cold morning so Izumi donned the coat that was given to her the night Suna was destroyed by the man she only knew as the Jackal. Underneath the very large black coat lined with white fur, Izumi wore the completion of the destruction night ensemble, the kimono she'd worn on that same night. In fact, the only difference in dress was that on her left bicep instead of the headband of the Hidden Sand, she wore one depicting the Hidden Mist. Izumi figured if she's seen in public she should look her best since she most likely would be recognized. After all, Izumi was the first one to complete a trial, hers had been the one to kick off the exams. All along the streets there were the robed figures, Hastur's representatives.
Kumo was a strange place to Izumi. She had never seen a fully functioning ninja village, her inhabitance in the Hidden Sand Village was during a time of great dysfunction and corruption. The Sand was exactly a place to be proud of, sure it had trained her but that's about the only thing that was still functional in the administration of the village at its end, the Academy. There were apparently a handful of genin here who had graduated from the academy in the hidden sand village. Izumi had chosen to represent Kirigakure no Sato, she remembered visiting there for a joint training exercise long ago when she was in the academy and recalled being treated quite well. Besides, she refused to represent the Leaf and she had known very little of the other two villages beyond the basic knowledge taught in the academy. Izumi approached one of the robed ones and asked where a good place to find breakfast would be. The man pointed her out to a café at the end of the road with a large sign that read, "Cloud Nine". Izumi would enter the café and find a table, removing her coat because the climate within was much warmer than the chill morning air outside. The kimono hugged her form, and showed a good bit of cleavage, Izumi had always been mistaken for someone older. Not that she ever denied her age, she simply wouldn't advertise it without being asked. The beautiful young Karisuma, would signal a waiter and ask for a cup of tea. Izumi looked around as she waited, hoping to see some of her fellow contestants or perhaps even a powerful shinobi from one of the villages that she could interview for her writing. Until her next trial, the young woman hadn't much to do but ensure she did her daily exercise. The tea arrived and the young woman would begin to sip at it happily, enjoy the warm nectar filling her to her core and warming her.
