Your competitive spirits invigorate me. Team Nao-Jun-Dai might have gotten into a rough start, but don't underestimate them...*glances at Dai Dai and Jun warily*
No, one would be foolhardy to underestimate the Kiri trio: if anything, they may well have the home-field advantage. And think of it this way- better they get the tensions and such out of the way now so they can pull together when it counts most. I look forward to seeing their progress ^.^
And yea, I'm still not sold on White casting Yoshinori as a best boy, but I'm otherwise satisfied with how he's been portrayed thus far. Amongst all the crazy powerhouses of the Naruto-verse, I think you need a few more realistic/ everyday kinds of folks to juxtapose all that. If he's come across as even somewhat relatable, then it's been successful.
Would you rather have Makoto or Yoshinori advance to the next part of the exam?
I was surprised to see this get an anime adaptation. It's a pretty fun series.
According to White, there are a few surprises spread throughout the lands. Exploring them might be a good idea.
Probably Makoto, insofar as it means a great deal more to her than it does to Yoshinori. While he'd likely shrug it off with mild disappointment, she would be devastated, especially if someone like Kidazoa beat her to it. And depending on how much craziness/ danger he's exposed to in this next stage, Yoshinori might well quit before he makes it to the tournament (Though whether he's willing to leave Kouta and Tsuyoi in a lurch by doing so is debatable). There's other components to the story going on outside the actual exams which would be interesting to explore with him, such as the knights from the Eastern empires, so I could still keep him busy.

A road trip would be nice. If you're not a fan of urban areas, there are plenty green-spaces when you go up north and in Central Florida too. The environment can be really nice in some places. I am surprised it gets over 100 degrees there. I have been, but in Autumn and i don't think it ever reached 90+ =/. It was Montreal if that affects anything.
Iwa and Suna pairing in an alliance is something cool I dream about. In the original Naruto, they didn't touch on the countries much, hence why Konoha was largely non-existent in the first RP. It's interesting to get perspective from other Lands. Who knew Yugakure would play a big part in the story, or Amgakure would be a historical site o the Kakureyami Queen's massacre. I love the highlighting of otherwise, shoved-aside Lands that never got their respect. The Darkness over Konoha is not lifted yet. The state of Kumo may or may not be discussed. I believe in everything not being 100% explored/explained, so if no one brings up Kumogakure, I am not going to somehow force it in their. I find leaving loose ends and throwing things up in the wind, a frustratingly-attractive piece to any good story.
I will root for Makoto's not not because of her, but because Sengun is one of my favorite characters.
I tend to prefer cityscapes since there's so much going on there (maybe because I grew up in a smallish town) but I'd definitely want to check out the nature and such- how could you not with the beaches and the everglades and so forth? Any recommendations on must-see places? Yea, the weather and temperatures fluctuate a lot season to season here. From July-August you're literally melting, especially in Ontario and Quebec (Gets as high as 110 F), and then from December to March it's freezing as anything. As I said before though, it's a lot milder year-round along the coast, and the weather's peachy rest of the year, so it's not so bad. We'll complain about it, but then you get used to it and life goes on.
If you were in Montreal during the fall, that's pretty normal temperature-wise: how did you like it?
Hmm, I agree- definitely good to explore the other nations. I get your point about leaving things up to the reader with untied ends, but I'd still be curious to see whether Kumo's position changes by the end of this story- maybe have them elect a Raikage so they've got a hope of getting back on track. Ah, we'll see I suppose.
Fine white-chan, be that way if you must- I already know you're gunning for Makoto's success and the rise of Iwa in general, so any comments implying otherwise shall be dismissed. ;p I do like Sengun so far as well- he's a good foil to all the rampant enthusiasm and hopefulness that many of the candidates seem to embody to some extent. I would praise Lao also, but seeing as he has yet to be properly introduced in the thread... *Nudge nudge*
@Kiyoko Tomoe
You tell 'em, rival-chan! Don't let White push you or your characters into ships you yourself are not sold on! Mio deserves only the best ^.^
Also, hey- how's it going? I feel it's been too long since I've done any proper rival-things... but rest assured, I shall renew my efforts going forth thrice-fold!
