Katsumi woke up just a little bit before her alarm went off and quickly fumbled with the device to ensure she shut it off quickly. She then rolled out of bed and looked at the calendar, a wide smile on her face as she saw the circle around the date that was today. The fifth of November, it was time to see what it was she was being summoned to a Kumite for. Quickly making her bed, she moved to the closet and began to put on her
Official Uniform she had custom designed, having freshly cleaned and tailored it to ensure both fit and presentability. There wasn’t a thing in the world that could bring her down, because true to his word, the Mizukage had set something up where she was being summoned to show people what she was made of, to prove herself ready for whatever it was that was being thrown at her.
At a guess, she imagined it had something to do with the Chuunin Exams. Those weren’t that far off, if she recalled correctly, and it was very possible that she was being tested within the village before being shipped off to Konoha where it was supposed to be held, to ensure that she was going to be able to represent the village and not make an absolute fool of herself. In preparation for both the Exams and the Kumite, she had taken her training to the next level; techniques. They were low level, D-Rank techniques, but they were a solid start to what she would need to be able to learn going forward. She still couldn’t manage Ninjutsu, but she was getting close, and the dark-haired woman smiled in the mirror as she looked herself over, taking a few extra moments to run a brush through her hair and check her teeth.
And then she was off, walking quickly and quietly through the still relatively sleepy streets, only a few people milling about and starting to open their shops. She was early, but that was hardly her fault, because she was simply excited to see what would be happening and to get the show on the road. Approaching the Academy where she had never before set foot inside, she followed the instructions she had been given and moved to a large door that would lead to the Kumite arena, and paused just outside the door, shaking her hands a little bit and taking a deep breath, gathering her always present confidence and holding it in her chest. Head held high, she pushed open the doors and marched inside, and took a moment to look over the surroundings, noting that she seemed to be one of the first ones to arrive, just as planned. This gave her an additional moment to survey the surroundings, check and see what kind of grip she had on the floor, what kind of distance she had between the walls. Knowing your surroundings was absolutely key, after all, to being able to maneuver without having to look around.
Katsumi followed her instructions and moved to the balcony on the right side of the Arena, walking calmly up the stairs, as this was where she would need to wait until the Jounin, whoever it was, called them forward and explained what was going on. But she was not satisfied with just that, because the match, in her mind, had already started. The moment a Genin moved to the other side and made eye contact, she would activate her
Power of the Wasp technique, the hidden well of Chakra she had within her. This would cause her eyes to flash and overall chakra levels to jump in intensity, so any Sensors or just someone paying close attention would feel it, combined with the effect of her Chakra Ink Tattoo (ask for a pic if you want one) on her back to begin to glow, even through her clothing just slightly.
