Carefully I observed the scroll until the crows attempted to scoop it up. At which point I simply dispelled myself, causing the scroll to poof with me. Previously I took note of the various methods they used in order to check out the area. They weighed their options well which pleased me. Thus the only thing left to do was to meet with them at the path they chose and see what conclusions they would come up with. Once they and their detection methods had moved on, I'd have another shadow come in. My legs moving swiftly due to my expertise in Taijutsu, I was sure to take the shortcut towards the academy as I noticed that was the direction they were headed. Of course I wouldn't approach them just yet. I'd observe them from within the entranceway to the academy, keeping well out of sight.
Once they happened towards the academy, they'd notice a piece of cloth which was from my own attire, stabbed through into the ground via a senbon. Attached to it was one of the elusive bells they were searching for. There were no traps as far as they could tell because there really wasn't any, though a good shinobi would no doubt proceed with caution. The sight of one bell meant that only one of the three of them could pass and thus go onto the Chuunin exams, something that I would make clear once they had performed their analysis as a team. For you see, I would make my presence known to them once they decided what to do with the bell.
"So I see you decided to head back towards your origin. I'd like you all to tell me what made you decide on this path and how badly you want to become a chuunin. As you can see, there is one bell before all of you, the one who takes that bell receives my official recommendation to go to the chuunin exam and can proceed to leave immediately. The rest...well they'll be staying back in Kumogakure with me, doing remedial tests."
This was the final stage of the test, surely if they had taken the route towards the caves and encountered my bunshin they'd have definitely failed. A shinobi had to search for the enemy with caution and not with desperation. Alternatively, discovering the scroll would have also been a beneficial route but alas, my team didn't seem bent on exploration...they were efficient which was good in its own right. Though it also meant they had impatience, which is why I setup this last portion of the test to ensure they had a cool head and base wit.
"So, which of you wants the right to leave for the chuunin exams?"
