Slade's graduation

Slade knew what he had to do today. He had to graduate. If he did not, everything he did was for nothing, and that was unacceptable. Walking down the hall, a white stick in his mouth, cigarette-style fashion, Slade took it out then slotted it in his back pocket, turning the corner, thinking about the jutsu he was going to perform in front of the judges of the graduation, also known as the Hokage and Jonins.

Before getting to the door, a smirk came to his face, "Shouldn't be a sweat." He mumbled, taking his hands out of his pockets as he got closer to the door, the door that held the Hokage and Jonins.

Opening the door, Slade stepped through, looking directly at the Hokage, then the Jonin's afterwards. Standing in the middle of the room, he looked at each of them, before they gave the nod, signalling it was his time to try and impress him. And if he did not, well, he would not be graduating.

Standing firmly, he slammed his hands together, his skin turning from flesh into steel, Slade's unique Steel Skin jutsu, only used by him. The jutsu had taken the judges of the graduation by surprise, it had been a while since it was not another clone jutsu this time around. They had not seen this jutsu before in a graduation, but would that make them approve of it. A jonin suddenly threw a kunai at Slade's leg, most likely in an attempt to see how strong it was, and aiming at the leg so if it did hurt, it was not a vital area. The kunai hit the steel skin and bounced off, falling into the ground, being successful against the attack.

The steel skin lasted for around five seconds, before fading back into his normal skin. Looking up, he wondered if what he did was enough.

"So...how was my steel skin jutsu?" Slade asked.
