Just past the gate of the exit for the First Exam, Abunai and her chunin underlings wait for the first teams to finish the test. The area past the gate is an open patch of dirt and scraggly plants. In the middle of the area is a large open air tent with a few chunin sitting at a table beneath it. On both sides of the table stand lines of chunin that curve and continue toward the gate.
"Senpai..." a chunin pipes up, drawing Abunai's attention toward what he is looking at. A team approaching the exit.
"Only 31 minutes in..." Abunai mutters, but then smirks, a show of interest.
The first team to arrive is the cloaked team from Waterfall. And if they intended to make an impression of strength, they are on the right track.
------------------------------------------------
It is 58 minutes into the test for Raito, Sho, and Kenta when they see the exit gate. They pass through and continue to the table unharassed. You need to get the info you got from the door to the proctors to complete the test, but that shouldn't be a problem at this point. They'll notice several teams have already arrived in the area. The mysterious Taki team that arrived first, but also the team of Uzu kunoichi...
...and the Universe may actually be out to get Sho, because the Suna kunoichi Wakana and her teammates are there as well.
Another Uzu and Taki team are also in the area, but they're random fodders, so nobody cares about them.
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile; Ushio, Ichigo, and Kotetsu have yet to find the exit. You're NOT lost. You're just not sure where you are right now, yeah, that's it.
----------------------------------------
(within earshot of Ushio, Ichigo, and Kotetsu)
"Admit it, Tsukasa. We're lost." a turquoise-haired grass kunoichi says.
"We're not lost. Just...a little off track that's all." a young man disagrees.
"That's lost." the girl mumbles, a grunt of agreement from their larger companion.
"We just need to retrace our steps. It'll be fine."
