Number 6
Muto Atsushi
A man. A machine. There is a point where one is neither, and this is the point upon which Atsushi lingers. His gears whirl which each movement and in his wake the occasional belch of smoke. Over these glistening golden dunes there was a cloud of black sulfurous smoke and the steps of a man deeply placed in the sands suggesting this strange messenger to weigh at least a ton if not more. Approximately six feet in height and the physique of a muscular man in his prime, this unshrouded behemoth ambled to the 'gates' of Sunagakure, only there was no gate. In fact, there was no defense of any kind. Nothing to stop him from willfully destroying this civilian area located on the front lines. Is this truly what they would go to war against in the near future?
In his hand he carried a letter, the letter was embossed with the Daimyo's sigil. Inside it read:
[legend="[color=darkgoldenrod][b]Invitation[/b][/color]"]How dreadful are the curses which isolationism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as haemophobia in a warrior, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of government, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist because we have kept ourselves separated for so long. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. Thousands become the brave and loyal shinobis: all know how to die but the influence of our ethnocentrism and isolationism paralyses the social development of those within these tired nations. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world but fear of our brothers. Far from being moribund, shinobism is a militant way of life and we all have our secrets to keep but we can also extend out hand in good faith and friendship and with these bonds grow stronger together. It is for this reason that I extend to you, fellow warriors an opportunity to demonstrate your valor and your strength as we celebrate the union of two powerful forces to the west and south of your great respective nations.</B></COLOR></I></FONTFACE>

Yes, this is an inter-village examination and players from every village are invited to participate. The Administration has granted for the sake of this event eased travel restrictions on this cannon event meaning that you can travel to this event without leaving your village. In addition, the Administration has also allowed for the duration of this event the use of 2 Event threads. This way if your present village is in the midst of an event you wish to participate in, you may continue to do so there or you can use both threads to participate in this event where you are active in the exam in one thread and in the second thread you do something social with other players from other villages. You can still travel to the community if you desire, there is a constant story in progress and you may want to stay and see what happens but that is not required or expected as long as everyone has fun.
