[hider=The Forest of Death mission - part 1]
[center][b]" What do you mean?! Of course I can name swords! It´s a precious gift from the best aunt in the world! And what is with the apples?!"[/b][/center]

Sayuri´s eyes were wide as she looked at her teammate - she only barely managed to keep her jaw from hitting the floor. What´s with her? As she was about to say something more, taking a deep breat ... and she remained silent, looking poutingly at Chinatsu.[b]" It means a lot to me. I will take the red apple ... "[/b] Reaching forward, she took the apple from her open hand, further waiting for surprises from her. Then, she turned to Hiroshi - who was just as puzzled by the first meeting of his team. He scratched his head as he tried to come up with an answer. After a few seconds, he gave it up.[b]" Well ... I am glad to see you two ... getting ... getting along. I think we should do some proper introductions and we can start our first mission. So, Chinatsu - please, take a seat and we can start."[/b]

Sayuri was still looking at Hiroshi, then she shifte to Chinatsu. The girl was unbelievable - or was she? After the initial shock of her first impression wore off, she found a strange curiosity rising inside of her to learn more about the girl. And questions started to pop up - questions to which she somehow already knew the answer. So, after letting out a deep breath, she took a bite from the apple - and it tasted wonderfully. Turning her head, she awaited for her teammate to react. 

Chinatsu winced at her team mates reaction to her statement, although she was curious to about who this aunt was and why she never got the chance to meet her. Making a note to ask who it was later, she watched as the girl took the red apple and said nothing as she took a bite of the green one that was left. She was rather pleased with her team mates choice and was even more pleased with her immediately taking a bite from the red apple. They were already sharing a snack together. [b]"I think a proper introduction is a good idea, I dont know what to call my team mate. Oh, you never did tell me your name,"[/b] Chinatsu said after a few minutes, taking a seat. Although, it was hard to tell that she was interested in knowing more about the red headed girl from the almost disinterested look in her eyes and her lofty smile that was almost always present as well.

Sayuri returned a disbelievin smile towards Chinatsu, stopping to chew on the apple. The girl was unbelievable. Swallowing her bite, she took a deep breath.[b]" Fair enough. My name is Sayuri, Sayuri Cho. I grew up and spent my entire life here in The Leaf Village - from my early training to my academy days. I prefer a combination of Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu - and well, I am not fond of long range combat. If somebody has trouble with me, they should come up close and tell that argument to my sword ... or kunai ... or my fists. Oh - yes!"[/b] Her face lit up in excitement like a Christmas tree.[b]" I also have a Space - Time Technique! Well, not finished, but I am already developing it. I call it the Red Flash! With that, I hope to become a great kunoichi just like my aunt is! Oh, yes ... and I like apples. Thank you."[/b]

Hiroshi carefully observed Sayuri as she made her introduction. The girl was not lacking enthusiasm and seemed to high on her spirits, despite pouting only a few minutes ago. That was a good trait - the will to always move forward was much needed for all persons who decided to spend their lives as ninja. But seeing that Aiko was her aunt, she had all that inside of her from a young age. And he was also curious to see her Space - Time technique in action. Now, he turned his attention towards Chinatsu.

So, the red headed girls name was Sayuri Cho and surpisingly enough, Chinatsu liked the girls name. [b]"My name is Chinatsu Hon, I grew up in the Hon Estate outside of th Leaf Village, in fact, I just recently moved to the compound last week. I was trained in the Estate and I am long range fighter. I am also good with ninjutsu and dabble in kenjutsu. To be honest, I would rather shoot an arrow in someones throat than stab them, anyone can stab someone but it takes skill to shoot someone,"[/b] Chinatsu said airly. She nodded to the last part of Sayuris introductions but did said nothing to it and looked back to Hiroshi-Sensei.

Sayuri glared at her team mate once again, raising her eyebrows in curiosity.[i]" It takes skill in self control not to react."[/i] She though this as she took another bite from the apple. But then again, seeing a bow as a weapon of choice for a shinobi was so rare that she looked forward to see her in action. Also, seeing she was a Hon she was sure to be skilled - Sayuri met several members of the Hon Clan, and their prowess never ceased to amaze her. Now that she made her introduction, Sayuri turned her attention towards Hiroshi - Sensei. The man in question noticed this and gave her a warm smile, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke up.

[b]" I see variety is not lacking from our team. Now that you made your introductions, it will be fair to made my. I am Hiroshi Hon, son of Yamato Hon, The Captain of the Wolf Guard, also known as The Yellow Wolf. I have my own past - complicated past, but that is for another time. I fought in The First War as a young adult, I fought at the recent occupation and I survived. I am a Jonin for The Leaf Village for about two years, and I am continously honing my skills and provess. I established the Hon Compound after we liberated our lands, and I am staying in the village instead of the Hon Estate to help and strengthen the bond between the clan and the village. Any questions you have for me, you should feel free to ask them."[/b]

Staying quiet for a while to let the last sentence sink in, he then continued.[b]" We will start our missions right away, and with a mission not what you would except. It will be a thorough test of many things - I will leave those things to you to figure out. I except nothing less from you than to give it your best shot. Chinatsu, you are my niece - of you, I have high expectations. Sayuri, you are the niece of Aiko-sama - the same goes f or you. I have complete and utter faith in your abilities - now, you have to show me that my faith is not mistaken. Any questions?"[/b]

Chinatsu caught the glare from Sayuri, although her reaction was not likely to be approved of, she simply smiled a bit arrogantly and flicked her eyes back to Hiroshi-Sensei. She had heard about him, his accomplishments and his name from others in their clan, with a shrug, she took another bite of her apple and chewed it slowly, thoughtfully. She would rather see her uncle in action then listen to him tell them about it and she was also rather curious to see Sayuri in action as well, it would give her a better gague of how they could function as a team. [b]"So what is the mission exactly?"[/b] Chinatsu asked, eying her Sensei. 

Sayuri rolled her eyes observing Chinatsu´s reaction - it almost overshadows her amusement from Hiroshi´s introduction. He was surely a man to look up, and Sayuri could not wait to start her training - which according to Hiroshi, will start pretty soon. This time, she could not help but wonder about Chinatsu´s question.[b]" Same as with Chinatsu. What will be our mission, Sensei?"[/b] Curiosity is what Hiroshi wanted to see from them. Standing up and walking to the door from the dojo, he mentioned them to follow him. He started to walk outside from the compound.[b]" We will not be training in the dojo or the compound, nor any of the training grounds out there. Our training field will come as close to the situations you will face in the future as it can. I will tell you everything once we arrive to the place. Follow me!"[/b] With that, he leaped and headed towards the outskirts of the village. 

She shot a grin over to where Sayuri sat, even though it was to be expected of her to want to know the same about the mission, Chinatsu found it nice that they were agreeing on something. [b]"At least I dont have to worry about shooting you, huh, Sayuri?"[/b] Chinatsu asked, covering her mouth with her left hand to muffle her laughter at something her team mate would not quite get. Seeing Hiroshi-Sensei gesture for them to stand and follow him, she did so silently. Listening to her Sensei talk about where they would and would not be training at, she did find it odd that none of the expected training places were not where they would train at, it only made her even more curious to find out where they would be training at. When he told them to follow him, Chinatsu still said nothing as she obeyed silently. Every now and then she would glance at Sayuri before looking forwards again, it was only when she saw that they were approaching the Forest of Death that she narrowed her eyes but ever so slightly. Her expression changed from disinterested and somewhat curious to rather impatient and very curious as they arrived.

Sayuri gritted her teeth not to respond to Chinatsu´s remark as they headed out and made their way towards their destination - only Hiroshi knew it at that time. She will have to do her best to work as one team with Chinatsu - something telling her it would not be that difficult as she seemed it now. The few minutes they spent moving to their location were completely silent and only when they arrived at their destination did Sayuri give a look to Chinatsu and seeing the curiosity on her face, she felt her own rise - together with excitement and some fear from the Forest of Death. As they landed a last time, their teacher turned towards them.

[b]" This is the place where we will be training, the infamous Forest of Death. It offers us with all the conditions you will face as fully fledged shinobi out in the field. You will have to be mindful of your surroundings, learn how to use it in your advantage - and not the least, how you will survive in it. In our first mission, you will be facing me."[/b] Reaching into his pouches, he pulled out two bells, holding them out for Chinatsu and Sayuri to see them.[b]" I have two bells that will be attached to my belt. Your objective is to obtain the bells from me - there is no time limit you have or restrictions to bind you. Any last questions?"[/b]

Sayuri had plenty of them, but she seemed to be unable to ask any of them. How are they to take the bells from a Jonin inside of a place where everything, maybe including her own team mate is up to something nasty? Instead of asking all the questions, she placed her hand on Chinatsu´s shoulder.[b]" None from me, Sensei. Are we ready, Chinatsu?"[/b]

[b]"Of course there are no restrictions on us, we are new genin and you are a well known Jounin, it would only make sense to not limit us. But what about you? Are you restricted? Surely some of your techniques would be fatal if they were to even land on us?"[/b] Chinatsu asked. She was already trying to form a plan of attack, or strategy to get the bells, she would not simply get hers but Sayuris as well. Then she would give the bell to her team mate, just like sharing a snack, they would share victory in this mission. Of course, it was not going to be that simple and she would do everything she could to prove to Sayuri that she was a reliable team mate. Giving Sayuri a reassuring smile, she nodded and looked back to Hiroshi -Sensei.

[b]" Of course I am not limited, Chinatsu. It is not my aim to land fatal techniques on you - my aim is to train you. And if anything would threaten to endanger you and it will be above your capabilities, I will have no choice but to step in and protect my two students. The inhabitatns of the Forest would not hold back from using fatal force on you, so I must defend you with equal force. Now, that smile is what I like to see. The mission begins now!"[/b] After forming the Ram seal, Hiroshi disappeared in a puff of smoke.

[b]" The Body Flicker technique. He might be already in the middle of the Forest. I guess we should head out too, Chinatsu. Hiroshi-sensei might be a Jonin, but we can still do it. If we will work together, we will achieve the goal of the mission."[/b] Giving her the same reassuring smile she received earlier, she walked up to the gate they were standing in front of and opened it. 

Oh yes, she had to also worry about what lurked in the Forest of Death, making a note to not dismiss any unusual sounds she might hear as nothing she followed Sayuri. [b]"Can you make a well made clone? I would like to have our clones- or just mine, if you cant produce one, to cover the peremeter of the forest. If Hiroshi-Sensei is hiding, it will force him to move,"[/b] Chinatsu explained her idea. She adjusted her bow even though it was fine, if either her sensei or Sayuri knew why they would know that she was nervous as she began to fidget with her sheath as well. [b]" We can head directly to the center,"[/b] she added after she stopped fidgetting.

[b]" I never actually tried the Clone Jutsu, but I think I could do it. Covering the perimeter is a great idea - hands down in that. Before we do anything, you should let me apply my seals to your arrows. We could use them to prepare some surprises for Hiroshi-Sensei. My Space-Time technique is not that awesome yet - but I can use the seals to teleport scrolls or other objects to him for a nice surprise. Now, let us get moving."[/b] Taking the first steps in the forest, the palce already gave her the creeps. Taking a deep breath, she uttered something under her nose, but loud enough for Chinatsu to hear. 

[b]" We have entered the den of the lion, without knowing where the lion is. Let´s give it our best, Chinatsu."[/b]
