Yuto stood at the border between the nd of hot water and the nd of sound. Yuto double checked his gear for the umpteenth time going over redundant things like making sure the bandage covered his entire head and face only leaving his mouth and lower jaw exposed. He made sure his headband covered both eyes sockets just in case the bandages were to come undone, Yuto pces his hand on the gate and using his kekkei genkai created two barnacles to act as eyes.

  Everything was in pce, his sea foam green and murky white camoufge pattern yukata over top of a gray wetsuit with a pastel butter yellow Haramaki and typical shinobi blue sandals . The yukata was held in pce by a bck obi with a ninja tool pouch. Wrapped around Yuto’s forearms are arm bands with summoning seals for water on them. He could access them with a simple touch. Yuto stopped funneling chakra into the two barnacles on the gate.. they would be dead within two minutes without sea water or his chakra sustaining them

  Yuto’s squad mates had already passed the chunin exams a year prior.. Yuto had been the only one to fail from his group… this year the exams were being held in Takigakure . Yuto would have to cross both the nd of sound and the nd of bears to reach it… and Yuto would have to do it alone..
