🌸 The Will of Fire

Episode 2: A New Flame Awakens 🔥

📅 One Month Later...

A full month passes ⏳ at Kageflame Academy. The students train daily under harsh conditions—kunai throwing, stealth missions, chakra control, and taijutsu drills. Sweat, bruises, and even tears become part of daily life. But through it all, bonds begin to form.

Dan grows sharper with his chakra focus ⚡, Suki becomes more open with him (but still deadly), and even Riko shows hints of trust—though he still glares more than he speaks 😐🔥.

📢 The Jōnin Evaluation Exams Begin 🥋🔥

Lady Kaede gathers the class under the Training Arena Dome 🏟️. Elders and other Jōnin from the Hidden Flame Village observe from the high seats 👀🧓.

Kaede: “Today, you face your first real trial—the Jōnin Evaluation Exams. Only those who pass will be selected to join a team under an elite Jōnin. The rest... will return to class until they’re ready.” 😤

🧪 The Exam Has 3 Phases:

1️⃣ The Written Scroll Test 📜🧠

Designed to test intelligence and tactics. Trick questions, deceptive logic, and mind games. Shin Nara finishes first with ease 🧠💤. Dan and Suki pass. Riko stares at the questions, then folds the paper into an origami kunai... and still passes. 😮

2️⃣ Chakra Control on Water 🌊🌀

Students must walk across water while maintaining a glowing kunai charged with chakra. Many fall in. Toma Akimichi shocks everyone with her perfect balance 😍. Hina uses graceful Yamanaka focus. Dan slips, recovers, and finishes 💪.

3️⃣ 1v1 Combat ⚔️

Dan vs. Rei Lee – Dan wins with a surprise substitution jutsu and a clean kunai fake 🌀🗡️.

Riko vs. another Uchiha – It’s not even close. One genjutsu. One blow. KO. 😨

Suki vs. Hina Yamanaka – Suki’s ice-based kekkei genkai appears for the first time ❄️🔥. She wins narrowly.
