"I had a lot of that when I was on that Other Earth," Mayumi said. "Ended up getting kidnapped by the bad guys and poisoned, my chakras were cut off and I was basically useless. I ended up making tech for the team, and after the Overseer was dead, my powers came back, but I still harbored a lot of htat guilt that I wasn't more useful. And some of that bled over when I got back here with Kane. Especially in the early days of this run with our Ranger powers."

"And yet here you are... you were still valuable and needed on the team. I guarantee Davis and Aaron would say so. You lost your abilities... but not your will of fire. That's what makes us Leaf Nin. Others would have made an excuse to no longer be of service, but not you. You stuck to your will and drive to do what was right. Never lose that Mayumi. The Hokage and the rest of us wouldn't vouch for you to take the Exam, if no one thought you couldn't do it it'd be just your Teammates."
Takashi smiled. "You're going to make a wonderful Jonin."

Once Uryuu arrived at Ramen Ichiraku, he ordered his usual meal while he waited. He had already thought about today so far. All he would do next was to go on his day. Once he received his meal, he began to eat.

Soon as Davis got home, he hurried up to his room and pulled out all the books and scrolls that he learned over the years to help him with his Jounin trials. "This is gonna be a long night..." Davis said aloud and began studying.

The trio of Jonin hopefuls continued to study through the night, preparing for what would be the hardest exam they would ever take.
A new day was now here and while the trio of Jonin hopefuls were hard at work, another group of shinobi were also hard at work. In the prison, Proto stood with his most faithful followers, Doku Kobayashi AKA the Iron Moon and Kumi of the land of lightning. The latter was once an Akatsuki hopeful, but after his defeat at the hands of the Yellow Ranger, he was left for dead by the group he was ready to devote his life to. As for Proto, he welcomed Kumi with open arms as his army was severely depleted after losing to the Rangers in a hellacious final battle.
Currently, the prisoners were doing manual labor, building materials that the village uses in their development, repaying their debt to society in a way.
"Did you hear? Lady Hokage is promoting three of the Rangers to Jonin!" One guard told another.
"It's about time! They've been doing all of that fighting. They deserve it."
Hearing this exchange made the STC leader's blood boil. It was one thing to be defeated but to see what you originally wanted be handed to who he deemed to be an impostor. Doku shot a look at Proto who shook his head, choosing not to make those guards pay for their foul tongues. It was what he heard next that made his eyes get wide.
"This day keeps getting worse. You're supposed to be dead."
"This isn't the first time I've heard those words, old friend." The head of a small snake emerged from the jumpsuit of Proto, speaking softly in the dark shinobi's ear.
"Friend?" Proto scoffed. "You undermined the STC with your DRAGO buddies and you left me here to rot, all to cozy up to the younger model and get your ass handed to you as a result. And today of all days? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't squish you right now."
"Because I'm the only chance you have at reclaiming your old life."
Proto paused for a moment, knowing what the Sannin was implying. "What's the catch? Orochimaru doesn't do shit unless it benefits him."
"Smart boy. There's a war coming and being on the losing end would not be beneficial... for you or I."
Proto grew silent. He thought it over and as much as he didn't trust Orochimaru, he knew that his options were limited. "One condition. I'm not the only one."
"Acceptable." Orochimaru blinked back into Proto's shirt and within seconds, Proto began crying out in pain, dropping down to his knees, getting the attention of all of the guards.

The next day, Uryuu was up and early, doing his daily meditation in order to help find his center. Even on the day of that event, he made sure to keep himself in line for his own and everyone's sakes. He had to allow the light to shine.
"I appreciate the peace and tranquility." Uryuu mumbled to himself, cracking the small smile as he continued to meditate.

Mayumi sighed to herself, having stayed up half of the night studying and trying to figure out her strategy for the Trials. She walked out of the house and headed for town, rolling her shoulder. "I seriously hope this goes good. I don't want to let anyone down."

Takashi found himself in the woods meditating hoping his conversation with Mayumi had been received. As he wondered how the three were handling things mentally. He knew it would be a great ordeal and as long as the three relied on their strengths while covering each other's weaknesses they would fair well in the trials.

In the early morning, Aaron stood on the roof of his apartment building, looking out into the distance. He spent most of the night training, readying his body for what was sure to be a grueling trial. He didn't spend as much time studying for the written exam, banking on the basics being the same in both his and this world. Even if he was slayed to go home soon, this was important to him. It was important to prove to himself that he could do it before the Akatsuki were wiped out and he moved on with his life.

After studying most of the night, Davis had gotten him some rest before getting up super early to train. As he was coming back through town from his run, he noticed up on top of Aaron's apartment building stood the namesake himself. Davis then leapt to a tree and then to the top of the roof adjacent from Aaron. "Looks like I'm not the only early bird." Davis stated.

"Looks like it." Aaron closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the fresh air. "May as well get a head start on the day. It'll be the only real peace we get."

After completing his daily meditation, Uryuu leaped his way back to the village, ready to start the day. It helped that he gradually found his center so he could move forward with his life once the Akatsuki were done. He hadn't told everyone, not even Takashi of his future plans since he still in the process of planning. But soon he would. It's only a matter of time. He arrived to the village and began to walk around here.

Mayumi made her way through town, restocking some of her supplies before grabbing a few small peices of fruit. "Wonder what the others are up to. Or if I should go straight to the trials..."

"Am I the only one who's got a gut feeling this is gonna go extremely south for some reason?" Davis stated

"I wouldn't say south. This is gonna be grueling from jump. Even without our powers, Jonin are meant to be leaders in the village, the strongest warriors Konoha has at their disposal. Now if you factor in our powers, it'll only make the exam that much harder since our eventual peers will want to make sure we pay our dues and that we're not getting by due to these sexy accessories." Aaron said, looking at his wrist.
A few hours passed and the Jonin hopeful Rangers were all beginning to gather where they took the written portion of their Chuunin exams.
"Hmph. Looks familiar." Aaron walked into the classroom, taking in the similarities between the school here and in his home world.
In the lobby in the front of the facility, the other half of the team gathered to offer their support. Shun walked into the facility, taking in this place for the first time.
"Interesting setup.."
