'Show me that you want it.'
And with these things that he'd set provisions for, he'd challenge himself to testing his ability to even move around effectively, and with these kids he'd have a plan on how he'd go about doing things. He wasnt sure what everyone's skill set was... so this was all new to him. Sending for Shita Rirakkusu, Shinrya Akane, and ANBU Trainee Onyx. He would find out within himself what these guys were made of. Though, he was especially watching Akane and Rirakkusu. He knew Hosu could go toe to toe with him if he needed to. So he wasnt worried about that.
Subsequently, he had asked for information for these peoples.. he just sent for them. Akane was likely the only one that knew this was truly coming. Ri might be surprised that he went through the challenge. And Hosu knew he needed to get back into a grove. And this would be a prime chance for him to try out some of his Sand jutsu he'd been learning. They werent nearly perfected yet, but why not try a few of them out for size right? He wasnt trying to 'fight'; he was trying to push them to their limits. See what they could give. And show them that they could always grow.
