Asami Sanosuke,
Raikage Assistant and temporary leader of Team 13.


Sitting in her chair, Asami stared at several scrolls. Her right hand supported her chin and head as she stared at them. Through the open window of her study room, something small came inside. Sounds of something flapping, as it landed on the desk. With a small and rather gracious bow, a little bird made a bow in front of Asami. It caught the attention of the later, but she remained quiet as the bird spoke. ''I have came as you wished, Lady Asami.''

''Yes. I need you to deliver a message for me.'' Asami said, sitting up straight as she folded her arms in front of her chest. The bird only tilted his head a bit as he showed he was listening. ''I want you to deliver a message to the students of Team 13. They are ordered to gather at the Minosaki Teahouse, within three hours. They are needed to gather together for a mission.'' Asami told the sparrow who nodded and flew off. Looking outside the window, the young woman sighed. Getting up from her chair, she already suspected that it would go troublesome. Two of the members wouldn't like this change at all. Even when it was just temporary. Heading out towards the teahouse herself, Asami would make sure that they wouldn't cause any troubles however.

A grin crept on the lips of Asami as she was heading towards the Teahouse. The sadistic thought of knowing Midori wouldn't like this at all, made Asami wonder what she would do. Being a person that always tried to be updated on news, gossip and such in order to know what was going on, she had already been informed about the girl's plan. A friend group? That was nice, but if she would place that above duty, Asami would make her remember again about a particular event. Deidara would do well to remember as well that she wouldn't accept him talking back. The only person that Asami had little to no intel on was Reyna.

The start of a friendship, Between two young kunoichi's.

Kiyomi and Shisen


Walking around in a calm pace, Kiyomi had a rather bored look on her face. There was nothing she could think of that she could do. At the moment, she had no missions assigned to her. Her students were having a day off, at least not being needed to be trained by her at the moment. Hisoka was likely busy with political stuff. Only thing she could do was to relax or head back home. And though she wouldn't mind to see how her mother and sister were doing, Kiyomi wanted to do something. Like, really something that would pique her interest.

Lowering her head, she also thought about picking up Samehada. For now, she was carrying around her signature katana when she hadn't the greatsword with her. Sighing, she decided to head towards a trainingsfield. Maybe she could find something fun to do there or else take it easy. Or even train, though she had told herself to take it easy today. Then again, an easy training was something easy, right? Heading towards the nearby trainingsfield, Kiyomi started to hum something.

Shisen, along with Arashi, were sitting in one of the training feilds panting slightly as they had just finished trying to master the Human Beast Mimicry jutsu but to no avail. It would seem that Arashi could keep the form of her human counter part for a moment or two. This was also the reason that Shisen barely graduated from the Academy, her Jutsu mastery was low and she barely participated in any activities to help her along. "One more time?" Shisen asked Arashi. With a low growl, Arashi got to her feet and shook herself as Shisen got to her feet to stretch before heading back to the middle of the feild.

"Human Beast Mimicry!" Shisen said barely above a whisper and took off running using the Four Legs Technique to build up chakra in her hands and feet. Charging at the practice dummy as Arashi transformed into Shisen, this time, it lasted a second longer before they collided into the training dummy. "... I dont understand... What are we doing wrong?" Shisen muttered as she stood up dejectedly and brushed the dirt off her.

Her eyes narrowed in delight. Sitting on top of a branch, she kept herself hidden as she kept watching over the training of Shisen. The girl was unknown to Kiyomi and she had heard the sounds of her training. It had made Kiyomi interested enough to approach in a stealth manner and watch from a distance. After witnessing the way how the girl used a technique like the Human Beast Mimicry, she realized that the girl was an Inuzuka. It piqued a bit of Kiyomi's interest. For a moment she almost wanted to introduce herself, but the temptation to sit and wait a bit was greater. Besides, interupting somebody's training wasn't that polite. Was it?

Arashi turned her head in the general direction of one of the few trees in sight of the training feild, giving a low growl as if she were warning whatever may be there before following Shisen back to the center of the feild. "We will get it this time... We have to..." Shisen whispered before taking a deep breath. "Human Beast Mimicry" Shisen said before charging again at the the practice dummy, Arashi on her heels as they grew nearer. Instead of hitting the practice dummy, Shisen and Arashi collided into each other because of one mis-step, causing the two to end up in a tangled up mess.

Yep, an Inuzuka. She had seen that the dog had noticed her scent. The girl however seemed to be more focused on her training. Seeing that the two made a fault and of that ended up in a mess. From seeing that, she concluded that the girl was likely a genin as it wasn't a mistake that more experienced shinobi would make. Deciding to let herself be known, Kiyomi dropped to the ground as she let herself fall off the branch she had been sitting on. With a perfect landing, she looked in the direction of the two. That was interesting. How are you?'' Kiyomi asked with a polite tone as she waited, keeping a distance between her and Shisen. After all, she didn't know this Inuzuka.

Shisen still in a tangled up mess with Arashi, looked in the direction of the voice that addressed her and with a frown, she gently pushed Arashi off her. Interesting? How was that interesting? "Fine..." Shisen asnwered slowly as Arashi growled and snarled at the new person. Neither of them liked new people very much, so it was wise of this person to keep a good amount of distance away from them. Shisen stood up finally and let one of her hands inch its way towards the kunai in her back pocket just in case this person tried something.

The green eyes of Kiyomi noticed the movement of Shisen's hand moving to her back. Likely grabbing a weapon. Clicking her tongue, she found it slightly amusing. But she wasn't out to prove herself or to spar against this Inuzuka girl. ''Calm down. I reckon you aren't in the state or mood to spar against the likes of me. I had seen some of your...'' Kiyomi paused as she tried to find a polite word for it. ''Attempts.'' She said, tilting her head to the right as she placed her left hand on her hip, waiting for a reply back from the other girl.

Shisens hand did not waver from the kunai in her back pocket, she was going to be fully prepared to fight this person if the person decided to test her patience. "I-I am calm... I can fight you! I-I am not afraid of you..." Shisen said, although from the way she stuttered it would come across other wise. Arashi was on edge as her hackles were raised, teeth bared as she paced between Shisen and the new person who had not yet introduced themselves to them. Ocassionally Arashi would snap at the new person and Shisens hand would twitch, even though she felt defeated by the last comment. "...." Shisen said nothing in response, trembling a little as she stood there.

Not fazed by the snarling dog, Kiyomi was wondering what it would do if they both would meet Ger. But she wasn't interested to prove herself now. There wasn't anything to win and she wasn't prone to win her respect like that. ''That is then good of you. I am also not affraid, cause I am not interested to fight.'' Kiyomi cheerfuly replied back as she made a nod. ''But I almost forgot my manners. Kiyomi Sato-Hon. May I know your name?'' Kiyomi politely asked.

Shisen just stared at Kiyomi and then blinked before looking at Arashi, who still had not calmed down. "Shisen..." Shisen replied slowly before gesturing to Arashi "and that is Arashi." She took a step back and whistled low, calling Arashi to her side. The half wolf half domesticated niken came trotting back but still on edge as she sat Shisens side nicely. "What do you want? You a-are just going to m-mock us.... Go away!" Shisen said as firmly as she could.

Frowning, Kiyomi heard Shisen and shook her head lightly. ''Not really. If I were mocking you, it would be rather something else than your performance. I am just interested and even am almost willing to offer some help.'' She said back in a rather calm manner. Though she stayed polite, Kiyomi wasn't sounding any friendly as before. Noticing that the other girl clearly was not that open for a conversation, Kiyomi decided to take a different approach to it. ''I mean, I know some ways that could help you a bit with your training.'' Kiyomi said.

Shisen was having a hard time coming to terms with what she was saying, most people who stopped to watch her training with Arashi would laugh how pathetic the two looked. But Kiyomi seemed to want to help them, but why? Was it some joke? "Umm.... I guess.... " Shisen said as she shuffled on her feet nervously before reaching down to rub Arashis back gently as it served to calm them both down. "Do you know what you are doing?" Shisen asked skeptically.

The question made Kiyomi smile a bit as she decided to honestly answer the question. ''No, I don't.'' She said, pausing for a moment. ''However, I think that I could try to use some of my experience to advise you in what you could improve. I have met an Inuzuka that is quite fierce. So maybe I can offer some helping advice.'' Kiyomi told Shisen as she briefly thought back of Mia. Mia was indeed fierce. After all, she had been a member of Team 9 for quite some time. Kiyomi wondered if it was Hiron's influence that made people tougher and fiercer. ''But its your decision. No hard feelings if you will decline my offer.''

Shisen took another deep breath, her expression somewhere between confused and accepting. "You really want to help?" Shisen asked, even though Kiyomi was offering, it still made little sesne to her. "How can you help?"

''Offering advice. For example, on how to run while preparing to strike at somebody.'' Kiyomi said, walking to the center of the field. She kept still a distance between them as she also looked at them sideways. Her green eye half closed as she then continued. ''That said, you need to run, aim and prepare to strike all at the same time. Without getting distracted. Something that can be taught easily with the right method.'' Kiyomi told Shisen as she stood still and placed her left hand on her hip.

"Advice... at the same time?" Shisen asked a bit confused but listened anyways. Arashi gave a low growl before barking at Kiyomi for some reason. "How? What method?" she asked as she followed behind and came a little closer to the Jounin. Her curiousity became too much to ignore as she inched closer to Kiyomi, wanting to know more. The more she learned, the faster she could master new jutsu and the fast she could prove the other genin wrong; that she was worth something.

Slowly a grin was creeping on Kiyomi's lips as she spread her arms a bit. ''Simple. Lets make a game of it. You seem like you are going to be fun. I won't use any attack or such, but you need to hit me with your attack.'' Kiyomi told her as she pulled out her katana. Spinning the silver bladed weapon, she trusted it in the ground as she kept her eyes locked on Shisen. ''Lets see if you can hit a moving target. Just remember to keep focused on your movements. Sometimes focus can be the key to become faster or more accurate.'' She continued to tell Shisen as she slowly walked away from her weapon and placed her hands in the pockets of her pants.

The slow grin on her face made her a bit nervous but she did not back away, her determination to master this jutsu was going to inevitably be her advantage in some training exercises. "Soo... Need to attack you..." Shisen said slowly as she took in what she said. Focus, she needed more focus. With a nod, she took a deep breath and did her best to center herself. "Human Beast Mimicry" she said before using the Four Legs Technique to build up chakra in her hands and feet. Her nails becoming claws and her pupils becoming more canine like, she appeared more feral now. With no warning she charged at her, Arashi right behind her as she transformed into Shisen.

Only thing that Kiyomi did was to narrow her eyes briefly. Her own heightened senses kicked in when Shisen readied her attack and then charged towards her. Due her own smelling sense, she could figure who was Shisen and who as Arashi. But that didn't matter at the moment. Looking, she noticed that the pair's teamwork was good. Still, Kiyomi held her hands covered in the pockets of her pants as she seemed to wait till the two were closing in for the attack.

Shisen waited until they were five feet away before whistling to let Arashi know when to use her speed to get on the other side of Kiyomi. With each of them on both sides of her, they used their speed to their direction as they switched directions before attacking head on, kunai in hand.

''Nice tactic.'' Kiyomi mumbled as she turned her head to look over her shoulder. They were very close to her now as she smirked. ''However,'' She lowered her head as both would indeed make contact with something. At first it would seem it was Kiyomi, before the latter vanished away. Using her Secret Sword Technique to create an afterimage, Kiyomi was making a little roll to the right as she swiftly got on her feet and turned around to see the result of the dodged.

It did not help either of them could not stop in time to avoid colliding into each other before jumping back up and before building up more chakra. "Come on.." Shisen muttered to herself as she charged again. And as she charged, Kiyomi seemed to not change her stance. She kept looking at Shisen and then tilted her head. ''Your speed is alright. Try to lower it a bit and keep up the focus. Its better to have the focus alright and then the speed.'' She advised Shisen as the green eyes of the young jounin followed the two coming again towards her.

Shisen kept an open mind while she listened to Kiyomi offer her suggestions, even though it wasn't hard to tell that Arashi rather not keep this person around for too much longer. Their speed was one of the advantages they had along with their brute force so reducing it would be strange for them both. Remembering that they were suppose to meet with the rest of the team soon, she tried it again, quickly.

Seeing that they tried it again, Kiyomi focused better on their movements. Now that they were moving a bit slower, she could see more details of how she moved together with her ninken. There were little flaws to it, in her opinion. It was pretty good for a genin, Kiyomi thought. Still. With a sudden movement, Kiyomi managed to avoid the attack with a quick side flip. Landing on her feet, she continued to make a back flip. Landing on her feet, Kiyomi nodded. ''That was more like it. How are you right now?'' Kiyomi decided to ask, waiting patiently for an answer.

Freezing in place, a confused look on her face as she heard what Kiyomi said to them. A praise? They were being praised? "O-Ok.... I'm fine... You?" Shisen asked a bit more easily and less hostile than before. Not a lot of people praised them, most didn't think either would become a Genin and the other Inuzuka viewed her as a failure due to her inability to master most of the Jutsu.

Hearing the girl to waver didn't seem to faze Kiyomi. Stucking her hands into the pockets of her pants, Kiyomi thought about something. ''I have not been hit nor stressed. So I am doing good.'' Kiyomi cheerfully said back. Realizing that the girl wasn't used to be threated like this, Kiyomi figured it would be better to just stay polite and watch her words to not implore anything that could cause Shisen to become distant or angry. ''Are you already placed in a team?'' Kiyomi decided to ask, out of pure curiosity.

Shisen just nodded mutely at what she said about not being hit or stressed, she didn't really warn to hurt this Jounin but it would be nice if she came close.
"I am placed in a team... I don't really know them all..." Shisen said quietly before kicking some dirt to the side awkwardly. Arashi was pretty calm right now and had stretched out a bit. "Maybe, we could do this.... Again sometime?" She asked shyly.

Feeling a bit surprised, Kiyomi smiled in a friendly manner before she answered the question of Shisen, ''I wouldn't mind it. If you want to seek me out, I am sometimes at the place called Azumi. Its near the training fields. If you happen to see one or a few old seniors, ask them. They love the teahouse attached to the place. Ask anybody around there for me and if I am not around, you can leave a message for me there.'' Kiyomi said as she turned around and pulled out her right hand of her pocket, waving it the air. ''Take care Shisen and till next time. It was fun.'' Kiyomi said as she walked away.

Shisen listened to Kiyomi silently as she explained how to find and or contact her. She didn't really want to let this Jounin walk away, Kiyomi was nice and not many people actually looked her way. With a nod after a moment of thinking about all that was said she sighed. "Ok... Ill be here...." Shisen said as the Jounin left. Realizing that she needed to get going, she turned and sprinted in the direction of where she was suppose to meet her team. It wasn't something that she was looking forwards to but it was what it was.

Shisen


Shisen ran at a break neck speed towards the place where she was suppose to meet her squad, she was nervous and a little aprehensive about meeting them but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. Arashi right behind her as they rounded a corner and soon was in sight of the squad along with her sensei. Everyone was already there, out of all the times to be late to something, she had to be late to this one? Making a bad first impression, the sensei would hate her! "I'm sorry.... Training.... Kiyomi.. Won't happen again" Shisen said she was gasping for breath.

Arashi was panting next to her, hackles raised and looking very agitated with everyone but Shisen. "Hi.... Shisen and Arashi.... " Shisen said once she wasn't gasping for air and caught her breath. Arashi gave a low growl and just paced in front of Shisen. Arashi was indeed a very agitated and very angry Ninken that was currently very dangerous.

Konoha Team 7
Kensuke Nimatsu


Shaking his head as his last student, Shisen Inuzuka, arrived too late, while Ezuri tried to and apparantly horrendously failed to surprise Hayate with his magnicifent entree. He had a sad feeling that of all his genin, he liked Hayate the most; the only one not in his squad. Regardless, he had a job to do. A tough one most likely.

"Training with Kiyomi? Seriously, I'll have to order her to stop training my genin, they keep getting late for my training sessions. I thought she had some duties as a hokage assistant today, which'd prevent her from training her squad, hence we're taking Hayate here with us. Now, we have a mission people. The briefing is done on top of the Hokage monuments, and we'll get to know eachother on the way there. Let's get moving."

He told the gathered teenagers. Well, actually Hayate wasn't really a teenager yet, being what, 11 years old? Ezuri sure as hell was one, all arrogance and idiotry puberty brings included, while Shisen seemed to be just strange for now. Well, at least they seemed to be quite skilled already. Not waiting for confirmation of the genin, he started moving at quite a high speed, his usual marching speed. Kensuke had a magnicifent physical condition and could keep this fast pace up for hours, something he didn't even expect any of the genin under him to be able to keep up for 30 minutes. The young brats always liked fancy fighting more than the more basic and less flashy things such as being able to run around all day without getting tired.

"I'll start. My name's Kensuke Nimatsu, and I come from the Village of Talons. I like cooperative genin and swords. Oh, I'm 20 years old. Hayate, your turn."

Hayate Hyūzu
Konoha - Team 2


Turning from Kensuke, Hayate looked at the boy who had just appeared and offered his hand. After spending so many long hours training with Kiyomi, Hayate's senses were a little keener than most, and he had been aware of the boy's approach. Reaching out, Hayate shook the Hyuuga's hand. "It is nice to meet you Ezuri." Before he had a chance to introduce himself, Hayate saw the other member of team 7 approaching. The girl had clearly been running for some time, as it appeared she was out of breath. Waiting politely for her to catch her breath, Hayate took note of her ninken. He did not know much about the Inuzuka clan, but what he did know was that their ninken typically did not take kindly to strangers. And so, Hayate simply inclined his head politely and said, "Hello Shisen, hello Arashi." As he said hello to the girl and her ninken in turn, he nodded slightly, offering them both a smile. "It is a pleasure to meet you both."

After listening to Kensuke speak, Hayate set out after him, making sure to stay close. The pace was a quick one, and Hayate was just happy that he had enough prior training that he was able to match the pace without much difficulty. He knew that if they were to travel at this pace for a long time he would eventually become tired, but if that began happening he could always lower the weight of the metal around his wrists and ankles, allowing him to travel longer. Hearing Kensuke's brief introduction, Hayate couldn't help but grin. "My name is Hayate Hyūzu, I was born in Konoha. I like training, being a shinobi and I love a good challenge. I am 12 years old right now, but I will be turning 13 soon." He offered up a little more information than necessary, and more than he usually would have, but he wanted to make a good impression on his temporary teammates. Looking between Shisen and Ezuri, Hayate wondered who would speak next.

Hyuuga Ezuri


The other Genin, who did not look startled or even surpassed by his sudden arrival, a young boy who said his name was Hayate seemed nice as he took Ezuri's hand and introduced himself properly. Soon thereafter a girl came running in with a large ninken behind her, one of the kind you didn't want to mess with. Ezuri grinned at little bit at Kensuke's remark on Kiyomi training his genin guilty he thought. The girl quickly intruded herself as Shisen and her ninken as Arashi. She was kinda cute and after Hayate, Ezuri greeted them in the same manner.

On their way to the Hokage monument Kensuke introduced himself once again, that was mainly aimed at Shisen because he could tell he and hayate knew each other for some time now and he already introduced himself to him yesterday. Then Hayate introduced himself whereafter Ezuri took it to be his turn [b]"My name is Hyuuga Ezuri, I'm living in Konoha for somewhat longer than a year now. I grew up with my parents outside of the village in the woods and I- " the fast pace of Kensuke-sensei started to kick in on his stamina "I am fifteen years old and my specialty is taijutsu" he told the others. he looked at the inuzuka girl over his shoulder, receiving a growl form the ninken by her side, he did his best to ignore it and said politely with a small smile "your turn now"

Shisen Inuzuka


Shisen listened to what was said soundlessly, they were going to get briefed on the Hokage mountains and soon enough their sensei began making the trek up the mountain. She simply nodded at the introduction of both Hayate and Kensuke. Shisen was able to keep up with them for about five minutes, having already trained and her sprint here, it was a bit more exhausting than she would have liked it to be. As she listened to Hayates introduction, she took note of the fact that he liked a good challenge and she also took note of Ezuri's age. Arashi simply growled her opinion at both of them as she trotted along side Shisen and paused before trotting back to her side after her brief stop.

It took Arashi's bark, to get Shisen to realize that it was her turn to speak. "Umm.... I'm Shisen Inuzuka, 12 years old, this is Arashi.... Umm I like Taijutsu..... Arashi bites...." Shisen awkwardly. Arashi seemed to appreciate the introduction, as she simply went over to Ezuri and nipped him. It was like she was saying 'next time don't ignore me when I growl at you' and simply gave a low growl to both sensei and Hayate. Shisen couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face at Arashi's way of introducing herself to the team.

Konoha Team 7
Kensuke Nimatsu


Arriving on top of the first hokage's face he thought about the first, or rather, second impression of his students. Hayate was polite in general and he had a good impression of him, just like the first time he trained with him. However, not at all a reason to go easy on me. Not at all. Ezuri was three years older that both other students. He was a bit cocky, but significantly less so than during the training from yesterday. Interesting, Kensuke thought. It seemed the presence of people of about the same age changed his behavior somewhat. Maybe it was because he wanted to leave a good impression on boh younger students? He could use that to his advantage in any case. Shisen was rather shy, but in a positive and entertaining way. He had once been problematically shy himself, but it didn't seem to be much of a problem with Shisen. It'd fix itself eventually as she'd become a part of a smaller group of genin, undoubtedly.

"Ah, you're already here. Well, I'll leave the briefing of the mission to you?" He said, noticing the other shinobi was already there.

Reyna Azuma
Kumo - Team 13


Eagerly powering through her breakfast, Reyna was excited for the day ahead. She was going to be meeting up with Midori at their new base, and she hoped that maybe some others had gotten word of what they'd created as well. She glanced out the open window of her kitchen, it was going to be a beautiful day. Turning back to her plate, Reyna smiled and stuffed the last bit of breakfast into her mouth, eager to get started.

"Reyna Azuma, you are required to meet with the rest of Team 13 at the Minosaki Teahouse within three hours." A strange voice suddenly spoke up from the direction of Reyna's window. Whipping her head around, Reyna almost spat out her food. A small sparrow stood on the windowsill, staring at Reyna. Trying to swallow her food too quickly, she ended up getting it stuck in her windpipe. Coughing profusely, Reyna quickly grabbed her water, downing it. "Are... are we getting a mission?" She asked.

Tilting it's head slightly, the bird responded. "Within three hours. Don't be late." With that, it flew off, leaving a stunned Reyna sitting at the table. So much for my plans... She thought to herself, getting up slowly. Putting her dishes in the sink, she went to get ready.
Two Hours Later - Minosaki Teahouse


Approaching the building nervously, Reyna wondered if her teammates were already inside. Opening the door slowly, she glanced around looking for any familiar faces.

Shinichi Kyousuke – “Deep Thought”


Kumogakure rang once again with its busy street market and kids playing once more. This sight was the complete opposite of what the young adult, Shinichi remembered seeing roughly two years ago. When Shinichi and his small team came back from their small solo expedition away from the direct troubles back home they were all met with large piles of rubble and only a few buildings still standing. Shinichi refuses to admit it openly but he still felt great shame in the fact that he couldn’t do more in reclaiming Kumo back during that war. A part of him felt that what he was doing was right, trying to prevent the spread of Genkei’s rule and eventually meet up with some type of resistance group (which Shinichi and his team were unsuccessful of doing) but majority of him felt, and knew, that all he really did was run away like a coward and try to buy time before coming back when everything was safe. He never wanted it to look like a coward but due to his whole plan becoming unsuccessful he just made himself look more and more like a weakling who ran away.

”God damn it. I need to stop beating myself up about that shit” Shinichi audibly told himself, exiting his deep thought process. The ninja was just casually laying down on the roof of what was now his new home. His old one, like many of the other homes, had been brought to a giant heap of ash and debris. Luckily for him he was able to retrieve most of the documents he hid under his floorboards before escaping. What he couldn’t recover was already burnt which was at least better than having the info leaked.

His angled roof made laying back even more comfortable. It was honestly a great day to just sit back and reflect over the last few days, weeks, months…years. Shinichi entered another session of deep thought, thinking back to his past and how he and his team nearly met with a past that should just remain secret. There were times where Shinichi just wanted to be honest and tell his team everything, the things he did, the stuff he saw, the people that want him dead. It all continued eating away at him but he knew deep down that if that information ever got leaked the chances of him trying to rebuild a better life would crumble. Additionally he was starting to get attached to his team, kinda like a father – child relationship. He wasn’t sure if he could let them go just yet.

Speaking of letting his team go: Shinichi began thinking more about recent events. This included the fact that majority of his team had been disbanded, largely due to Kumo being destroyed and the young ninjas’ families leaving for what they felt were safer places. After the last genin left a few months ago it had just been him and NijI for awhile. When Niji was able to achieve the rank of Chunin by herself he was ecstatic. Although she has definitely grown up a good deal since the war against Genkei, she is still his student and he would still protect her and teach her till the day he died.

”That reminds me…we have a new arrival, Itenori I believe was his name” at this point Shinichi was just conversing with no one but himself. He wasn’t too sure how it would work having a chunin and a genin on the same team especially when Niji herself would be roughly six years older than the poor kid. In theory Niji would be on her way to learning how to be a leader of a squad but obviously her sight put her at a disadvantage so perhaps staying on team Shinichi would be better for her? ”Well that’s enough thought for one day, I guess I should probably go get Niji and we can go see who our new friend is.”

The day was relatively young, roughly noon if anyone had to make a wild guess which meant the sun was easily able to light up all of Kumo. A few minutes passed before Shinichi managed to find himself on top of Niji’s house. Of course the door was always an option but what fun could you possibly have knocking on the door and waiting for someone. Shinichi did what he always did and prepared himself for a stealth attack. You would think sneaking up behind a blind person would be easy but it actually seemed harder, their heightened hearing made Shinichi’s job much more difficult.

Silently he was able to grip onto the window’s trim and swing himself in. He tried to land as softly as he could where he would then proceed to look around for Niji. If she was in her room, then Shinichi was quickly successful in his attempt. In the off chance that Niji was nowhere to be found he would proceed with looking around silently until he found her.

Whenever (and if) he found Niji Shinichi would just simply approach her and speak. ”Guess who. We have someone new on our team and I thought you’d like to be there to go get him with me”

((Im going to let you decide Glitchy if Shinichi finds Niji. If not then just explain where she is or something or just have fun with it.))

((Also Zimmer don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten about posting for you. I suggest you have your genin go to Midori and Reyna’s base in Kumo. Apparently it’s a warehouse where genin and chunin just chill out and have fun. Seems like an easy spot to introduce your character in.))

Meisa Ichi,
Hokage Assistant

Dealing out the briefing.


Waiting for the team, there was a special reason for why she had summoned them here instead of the office where missions were normally given. And there was a reason why she had called for them, instead of Hisoka. As Kensuke arrived with the mixed up team of Team 7 and Hayate, Meisa simply waited and watched them as they came near. With Kensuke's rather casual greeting, Meisa nodded as she examined the genins that were with him. She had already read some of their profiles and each one was interesting. Placing her hands on her back, Meisa held her usual smile on her face while she was about to brief the team.

''Yes, I will. Now, I want to give you this special mission that is need to be dealt with. There are however some conditions. As I am aware you're all genin, experienced,'' With that word, she glanced at Hayate's direction. Being aware that the boy had received some training, likely to be harsh and grim, from Kiyomi, Meisa expected him to be at least more experienced and trained than the other two. ''or inexperienced.'' This time she looked at Ezuri and Shisen. Both of them were more or less fresh graduates from the Academy. Never having been on a mission, this one would prove some interesting results.

''However, the Hokage needs a small team to deliver a quick and hard strike. There have been some bandits sighted that are grouping together. Its unclear what their goals are, but we are fearing that they are trying to take over the local region they reside in. Normally, we would send out a more experienced team to deal with this nuisance or draw some forces from the outposts, but the current situation won't allow us to do that.'' Meisa explained. Her left hand went into the pocket of her pants as she pulled out a small sealed letter. Handing it over to Kensuke, she turned her gaze to the genins. ''This mission involves killing and disposing other people. In order that Konohagakure stays safe, we need each of you to not hold back. None of those bandits are allowed to remain alive.''

Waiting for Kensuke to head out, after destroying the small coded paper, Meisa turned her head to look over Konohagakure. She would head back soon to the Hokage Office to discuss some matters with Hisoka.

Konoha Team 7
Kensuke Nimatsu


Nodding at Meisa as she looked away, he turned around to his team after reading the coded message. His face grew into a steel-hard expression as he ralied his team. "Allright. Follow me. I'll tell the details on the way." He said, jumping off the stone faces, down towards Konoha itself. Using chakra to soften his landing, a basic shinobi agility skill, he adopted his marching pace as he headed towards Konoha's gates. He had no mercy for his genin at this point, as the only way to increase their stamina was by doing it. Hence, he forced them to keep up with this rather fast way of travelling. Perhaps in a month or two they'd be able to keep up without getting too tired. In the ideal situation they'd get a stamina just as well as his own after a few years, but he doubted that.
Once outside of Konoha's gates, and about a dozen kilometers through the large forests near the Easern borders of the town, he threw a look at his genin. They were catching up quite nicely so far, but their destination was still a few kilometers ahead. He was amused though at seeing the differing grades of physical condition now blatantly visible in his students, but he knew that their basic condition and their youth would let them recover pretty much entirely after a few minutes' rest. They had neared an area where the trees started growing smaller, compared to their humongous brethren near Konoha. The faint smell of a campfire reached Kensuke's nostrills and when skimming the top of the foliage he could see the thwarted remnants of the smoke that managed to punch through the treetops.

"Allright. We're nearing the destination. We have limited intell on their camp, but we do know that they didn't feel the need to set up a ring of forward guards, and that the only thing protecting them from a surprise attack is a few guardsmen. Nothing spectacular thus. They are bandits, so we should expect them to put up a hard fight, but they aren't shinobi. Now, I want you to stuff it in your heads that these are bandits and criminals. Don't have mercy for them, for they won't have any for you too. Don't get yourself killed because you hesitated. If you still have questions ask them now." He told them as they entered the general area. He knew that they might want to rest first, but like hell he was going to order, nevermind even suggest them to. It was their job to notify him of their conditions should anything be wrong.

Hyuuga Ezuri


As they arrived on top of the Hokage's head Ezuri was quite tired, if it came to physical condition outside of fighting he had to admit he could not keep up with the trained Hayate and the always physically fir Inuzuka clan members, let alone his sensei. He did not know if this was a feat to be proud of but he managed to keep up. He silently listened to the short but clear briefing of Meisa, although he shivered a little when she looked at him while she said 'inexperienced', he know she was right but did she had to make it clear in such a manner?

much time to think about it he did not have as Kensuke happy-go-lucky jumped off the heads down to the city. Ezuri sighed and focused the chakra t his feet so he would stuck to the rocks and ran after his sensei. he quickly catches up to him and promised himself not to fall behind. Ezuri got quite some movement that day, something he was not used to and was heavily panting as they halted. Kensuke spoke up "Allright. We're nearing the destination. We have limited intell on their camp, but we do know that they didn't feel the need to set up a ring of forward guards, and that the only thing protecting them from a surprise attack is a few guardsmen. Nothing spectacular thus. They are bandits, so we should expect them to put up a hard fight, but they aren't shinobi. Now, I want you to stuff it in your heads that these are bandits and criminals. Don't have mercy for them, for they won't have any for you too. Don't get yourself killed because you hesitated. If you still have questions ask them now."

Ezuri raised his hand "one moment please..." as soon as he caught his breath and felt ready to go he activated his byakugan "I see some point guards, If we coordinate our attack correctly we can take them out silently and have it easy with the ones sleeping. so far i see no traps" he took out a kunai of his back pocket and looked at his teammates ending at censure, he had a serious look on his face "on your mark Kensuke-sensei"

Katsuko Moto


The young jounin watched as Team 7 departed from the roof of the Hokage's Office. He noticed that he was the first of Team 4 to arrive, as Meisa had called for them to gather for a new mission. Once the other team had left, Katsuko jumped onto the roof in front of the Hokage's Assistant. He wore his flak jacket, surprisingly. But underneath that, he wore no shirt. His way of spiting Tsubasa's order. "You called for Team 4?" he asked, rather casually as he stood to full height. "The others will be here momentarily." With a smirk, he looked over the village, before looking back at Meisa. For being the first to arrive, for the first time in his life, he felt it was a bit awkward. Being early wasn't as nice as being late.

Team 7

Shisen


Shisen caught her breath for what seemed to be the second time in the same day and what was sure to come as the day was still young. She listened to what the person had to tell them about the mission they were going on and ignored the inexperienced comment that was clearly directed at them. The mission would require them to kill people, it made her feel bad already but as she again used the Four Legs Technique to keep up with them as they ran down the mountain and towards the area where they were needed, she still fell behind but not by a lot. Once they came to a stop, she listened to what their sensei had to say before nodding her head.

The bandits were criminals, they were being destructive to the village and they wouldn't listen to reason, it was the only way. Sending more chakra to her nose she sniffed at the air, the Hyuuga was correct, there were some guards out watching but some were napping as well. "There is about 20 different scents.... From what I can tell..." Shisen said quietly. Arashi growled in agreement and began to pace.

Hayate Hyūzu
Konoha - Team 2


Though he wasn't entirely happy that Meisa had felt the need to differentiate him and his two teammates, Hayate had understood why she had done it. As she briefed them, he stood, listening carefully to every word. When she mentioned that they would need to kill every last bandit, Hayate didn't even bat an eye. He found it slightly odd that killing did not bother him the way it used to, and a part of him was uncomfortable with that. Turning to follow Kensuke as he left the rooftop, Hayate noticed that they were going to have to keep the same pace as before.

After they had been travelling for some time, Hayate was a little disappointed in himself that he had fallen behind Kensuke-sensei. Adjusting his weights so that they were much lighter, Hayate renewed his pace, growing a little closer to the Jounin. A part of him was ashamed that he had to lower the weights in order to match the pace set by Kensuke, but as he realized how far they had come and how Kensuke was in much better shape than him, Hayate felt the shame diminish.

Arriving at their destination, Hayate was glad to see that his breathing was only slightly heavier than normal, and that he was not as tired as he thought he would be. Glancing at his two teammates, Hayate felt a small hint of jealousy at their sensory abilities. Once Kensuke had finished speaking, and the other members of Team 7 had announced their discoveries, Hayate simply stood still, awaiting his orders. He had no questions, nor did he feel the need for rest. Looking at Kensuke, Hayate waited to see what the Jounin would do.

Konoha Team 7
Kensuke Nimatsu


Looking at the heavily breathing squad of genin, he nodded and turned around towards them. They really tried their best to keep up and execute the mission at hand, which made him glad. At least they were motivated. He was amused by what they said though, as they made some beginner's mistakes here and there. "That's the idea Ezuri. Take out the guards before the rest notices. However, we shouldn't count on the rest sleeping. It's 11AM right now, and most likely they're already up for a few hours." He said with a sort of a smile on his lips, before turning back towards the camp that was hidden behind the foliage to most eyes. "About twenty? That seems about right with the scout reports we had. That means the odds are in our favour. He continued, rolling his shoulders to prepare for battle.

"Here's the plan. We climb the trees and get above their camp, since apparently they didn't place any guard up there, if we can believe Ezuri, and then drop down into the camp. From there on we start systematically killing everyone, untill only the guards remain. I don't know how long they have stood there, but there is one thing I know about guardsmen; they are bored, annoyed, and almost never look back into their own camp. Ready?" He told his team, adjusting the shteath oh his katana.

Hyuuga Ezuri


"Ready?" asked Kensuke, Ezuri nodded in agreement and looked at his teammates. After confirming everyone was ready he took a deep breath a slowly approached the camp making sure he was as silent as possible. This was a killing mission, assassination, murder. Ezuri was not comfortable with killing in the slightest and always tried to solve things with words, however killing was not unfamiliar as he had to protect himself in the past. Also he would not disobey any orders. He got into position, close to the center of the camp along with his teammates, he had to admit that Kensuke-sensei's plan was slightly better than his. He noted the position of the guards and tried to find a pattern in their moment. Then looked at the rest, looking at their chakra flow to see which ones were supposedly to be awake and told Kensuke his findings. Then he looked at how the bandits were laying and figured out the order of who he would kill after another. He clenched the kunai in his hand tightly until his knuckles became white. He looked at his teammates and tensioned his muscles ready to drop down in the bandit camp with them.
