The figure stood in the open field by the front gates. He wore a black ANBU mask that had been stylized as a cat. The black robes of office were draped over his shoulders and despite the fact one could not see his facial expressions his body language radiated annoyance and anger.
This was what awaited those that would come before him. This was an initial test for those that wanted to become ANBU and he was not one to go easy just because they were young. The ANBU Corp had standards and he would not relax them just because they needed people.
Despite his body language he appeared relaxed. He stood near the very border of their lands and it would not do to appear anything but relaxed and ready for any that might try and come through the gates. It felt strange for him though. When he wore the mask and robes it was generally the only time he was alone. It was something that bothered him but it did let his mind wander about what the others were doing at this moment.
The test had already begun, though those that showed up did not know this. There was no way of knowing after all. With each minute that it took for them to assemble it would be that much harder. He had briefly thought about enlisting others to throw traps and distractions in along the way but ultimately decided against it. This was going to be straight forward and if he needed to test their cunning further he would do it at a later time.
