6 months that's the alotted time he'd told the uzukage he could train up 20 chunnin level shinobi of the village to the standards for tide.
Now 6 months after said time ryoma, ashina, ashinas chosen heir and son uzumaki akuza, ryomas father, grandfather, mother grandmother, the other elders and their families along with a few dozen high rank shinobi of the village and clan.
The group stood in a vast clearing designated for the showing of the 20 tide trainees skills.
Off the side were 5 4 man squads all made of jonin level shinobi, the advisories his newly train anbu trainees would be up against.
As the group talked and mingled with each other ryoma straightened as he sensed his trainees enter the clearing while others could not the. The presence concealment seals were doing it's job properly.
Suddenly everyone else tences as 5 teams of masked and cloaked shinobi swiftly entered the clearing dropping to 1 knee in front of the uzukage.
"Uzukage-Sama, dragon-so-taicho!" The 20 chorused together their voices altered via seals inscribed in their porcelain mask.
The others had shocked and astonished faces as the 20 shinobi hadn't been sensed by those in the clearing some having been quite skillful in the use of the clans minds eye of kagura.
Ryoma stepped forward hos figure though slightly short was still imposing as his blank slit eyed horned mask made others feel uncomfortable.
"Rise!" He commanded and the 20 did as told splitting into 5 groups of 4 with those deemed as captains standing in front of the rest.
Ryoma turned and gestured towards the 5 teams of jonin level shinobi from the Village. "They are your targets seek and capture, allow the uzukage and the other see your greatness!" He said before turning to ashina with a nod of his head signaling they could begin the mock match.
Ashina stepped forwards his face set in a serious expression. "All of you are Uzushiorgakure shinobi keep things civil and no killing or maiming, let the match begin!" Finished ashina and the 5 jonin teams swiftly dashed into the forest the tide trainees following 5 minutes later their figure cloaked in black anbu style cloaks vanishing in the canopy of the trees.
A Uzumaki male who looked to be in his early 50s walked up to ryoma a grin breaking across his face. Ryoma recognized the man as the 2nd elder of the clan/village, Uzumaki Ken.
"Dragon was it, I have to say you outdid it with those 20, even those here who've used the clans famed minds eye of the kagura couldn't detect or sense them until the appeared before us." He said with a hearty laugh like many Uzumaki he loved to watch the clan prosper.
Like many others he knew that the clan/village shinobi of Uzushiorgakure were not cut out for stealth based combat or operations thanks to their vast reserves of chakra making them a beacon to the worst of sensors.
Ashina nodded in agreement even he arguably the strongest Uzumaki still alive couldn't perceive those 20 shinobi until they appeared before his eyes.
Ryoma bowed his head. "All things I do is for the betterment of our clan and village, I saw that we had problems in stealth based operations such of information gathering which is a crucial part of any village!" Ryoma finished, his voice altered by his mask was deep and duel toned.
Everyone in the clearing nodded theor heads understanding the woaws of being detectable from half way cross a country.

In the forest 5 jonin squads dashed through the trees their senses sharp watching for any attack.
Suddenly their heightened senses picked up the sounds of air being displaced.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh
A barrage of shuriken came flying from the rear causing the jonin to scatter. The thunking of thrown weapons striking tree branches and trunks echoed.
Spread out into 5 teams the jonin stood in a defensive formation each squad facing a different direction.
In the trees around the 5 jonin teams the 5 tide teams began speaking via hand code.
'Strike face, get out faster.' Deer the captain of squad 1 signed. The other captains nodded before giving the hand sign to commence the operation.
