"Sebaata... You?" Sebaata looked long and hard at the shinobi who just a moment ago was measuring his worth from a fallen tree limb.

"Ray Kamaura, good luck this year. Well if its your first time... this is my second... wait why am i telling you this. " Ray slumped forward and touched his toes. "I ALWAYS OVER SHARE!" He yelled "WHY AM I LIKE THIS!?" Ray threw himself face down on the ground and laid silently.

"How... Peculiar..." He lifts his gaze and re-fixates to Akio. "Anyway.... Have a long night last night?"

While Yūto did not engage in any of the conversations of the other Genin that began to swarm the area, he made a point of listening to them intently. At least a few of them would let slip what their abilities were, and the indifferent Hyūga would be able to use this to his advantage. After a few minutes of listening, however, one particular interaction caught his attention. It involved two other boys; one wearing a Kirigakure headband and the other a mask reminiscent of the ones Konoha's Anbu sported. The latter mentioned having lived in Konohagakure for a while, but he too was not originally from there.

'Forigners like myself, eh...' He thought to himself, not bothering to hide the fact that he was blatantly staring at the duo. 'I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. This is a joint exam after all.'

The interaction Yūto was watching would quite suddenly be interrupted by a third individual, this one sporting the symbol of Konohagakure upon his headband. Yūto's eyes narrowed as he remembered the stories his ancestors told him about the village; how the elders allowed the Main Branch of his tainted clan to use members of the Branch Family as slaves; branding them with curse marks like mere tools to be used for their own nefarious gains. Such things made the young lad sick to his core, and angry to no end.

To this end, his main goal for coming to Konohagakure in the first place was to humiliate the Main Branch his clan. He figured that he might as well have some fun in toying with those who allowed for their heinous acts in the first place.

When the third boy spoke, stating it was not his first exam, Yūto would take the opportunity to do just that.

He walked forward, standing straight and with his eyes narrowed into a bit of a scowl. His mouth, however, took the shape of a confident smirk.

"That really shouldn't be much of a surprise, now should it?" He asked, stopping a meter-and-a-half away from the group. "I always heard that Leaf Shinobi were subpar. I suppose you just proved that rumor to me." He would then turn his attention to the boy in the mask and look him up and down before speaking again. "I couldn't help but overhear you say that you were a foreigner. Where might you hail from?"

Yuki watched the display from afar, tending to his blade. He sighed and slid Ryu back into the sheath before standing up from his cross-legged position. If there had been some girls around, maybe he could have been mingling with them. Alas, it was only guys and so he couldn't use his charms. He replaced the sheath on his back, making sure it was tied in place before walking over as well. The Hyuuga kid spoke first, antagonizing the group. Sighing, figuring someone had to be mature, Yuki spoke up.

"Nice mask, Sebataa, was it?" He extended his hand out for a handshake in front of Yuto, ignoring him for now. "Any history behind it?"

the hyuuga member is quite confident in himself... "I was born the village hidden in the sand. My family came here as refugees during the war." Sebaata paused. I could have sworn the Hyuuga hailed from the land of fire... "so we have mist... Sand... Leaf... And... " sebaata paused in wait for the Hyuugas response.

...

I see I have accidentally brought way too much attention to myself Sebaata tilts his head slightly to the extended hand in front of him. He looks up to the man that has taken interest on his name and mask. He slowly reaches and shakes his hand. "Yes, my name is Sebaata. This mask is worn by all my kin. We call it 'the mask of the builders' our lineage helped build the village hidden in the sand." Sebaata assessed the situation he has put himself in, now surrounded by shinobi.

A Hyuuga huh? This is my chance. Ray stood slowly with a look of shame on his face. "So you are a Hyuuga... I've always wanted to fight one of those. Stuck up clan of prissy shinobi. Wanna wager who has the stronger Kekki Genkai?"

Ray activated his Kagegan. "SHARINGAN!" Come on, I've never seen a Byakugan before, even a few seconds would be insane.

Ray's eyes turned to those well known Crimson Eyes with Three Tomoe, a fully developed Sharigan.

"Cool, my scarf is something my real family left me. I'm from the far north, up where it snows all the time." Yuki smiled beneath the scarf, hoping the kindness would show in his golden eyes. "We don't even have shinobi where I'm from, so I'm glad Ma brought me here." He continued to ignore the two ninja behind him, hoping that they'd ignore him too.

"Hoshigakure; the Hidden Star Village." Yūto replied to the refugee from Sunagakure. Directly after he did, however, the boy from Konohagakure would stand back up from the ground. Something was different about him, however.

'The infamous Sharingan.'

Yūto didn't allow himself to show it, but he was quite intrigued by this revelation. He had never had the opportunity to see the second of the Three Great Dōjutsu in action. All of what he understood about it came from stories of his father, who had been a member of Hoshigakure's Anbu forces during the time of the Third Shinobi World War. But the boy had also mentioned having the drive to fight a member of the Hyūga clan; to test out which of their Dōjutsu would be the strongest. While Yūto would not have minded the opportunity to showcase his strength, now was neither the place nor the time. Instead, he would brush off the Uchiha's trivial showcase of dominance; still keeping the smirk planted firmly upon his face.

"I have no interest in fighting you right now, you Konoha dog." He replied coldly. "But if you can prove to me that you are worthy of passing this first exam then you might just get that chance. The gods above know I can't wait to put you and the rest of my clan here in their rightful place."

I wasted a whole minute of my Sharigan for nothing. Oh well. It was worth the shot. I suppose ill see those eyes one way or another. Ray deactivated his doijutsi entirely and smiled. "Ahahahaha Figures, im not that intimating am i? Oh well. Good lucky buddy. Hopefully ill see you out there."

Ray smacked the strange Hyuuga on the shoulder then turned to Akio. "MAN, THAT WAS KINDA TENSE!" he chuckled nervously.
