[IC] Naruto - Konoha's Squad Thirteen

[Jangel13]

hey" Masatake said to the girl who obviously felt like she was nervous just from how she talked "good to have you on the team" he said to her in hopes that she wouldn't feel so nervous around her peers as Masatake grabbed the envelope and opened it quickly looking through it nodding to himself as he finished it before putting it back in the envelope and giving it back to Kuro to let him talk to them when they arrived in all honesty Masatake wanted to travel as a group to their destination so he wouldn't be the first one their and end up having to wait on them before actually starting their lesson or whatever their sensei wanted to put them through...

After Fukusho was scolded by Nagato-sensei to sit back down. It is true that Fukusho usually had to be told to sit down because he did forget at times that there was a full room of people. After some waiting Nagato-sensei finally revealed who was on each team. However due to Fukusho's limited attention span all of the names in Nagato-sensei's speech got blended together. "Psst, which group did he put me in." Fukusho whispered to the ninja sitting next to him. He never took the time to learn her name but he usually asked her when he missed a small detail in class. "You were put in the big one." as she pointed to a group of people standing in the front of the room.With that she got up to join her team. "Hmm, the big one?" Fukusho said to himself

the young Mato looked up and he clearly saw a group of three ninjas congregating in the front of the room. There was Uchiha-boy; the guy from the medic clan, and what was her name again? Well Fukusho just said that he wanted to make new friends and learn from them so why not start with his team. The young ninja ran up to the group and jumped on the desk. Then he squatted into a perch so that he was eye level with the rest of them. "Hiya my name is Fukusho Mato, nice to meet you." He said with a grin.

"If nothing this group certainly has a friendly attitude I suppose..." Kuro said dourly as he looked around as his group as he looked at the letter his friend had just so crudely cut open not a moment earlier. On the paper was a neatly written letter explaining where they were going to go. It said that while a larger group was going to be troublesome for a guy like their sensei, whatever that meant, but they should hurry up and meet him near the Hokage's Palace. The following was the description of the rather average jounin looking outfit except with a Nara Clan symbol on the bottom part of it. Figures that a Nara would be the one wearing traditional stuff...He had short cut black hair and brown eyes. Kuro explained to his team the note's contents and offered it to anyone who wanted to read it and if no one read it he would simply shove it into Fukusho's hands. Regardless of what happened Kuro flat out without another word went to leave the classroom without saying much else. Kirito went over however and smiled at Mikone, "Hey...good luck with your team Mikone. I know I've not been the best friend ever but I hope to see you again some time. Oh and you too Masatake-kun." Kirito said with a hesitant smile as he rubbed the back of his head before suddenly noticing that Fukusho was there. They didn't talk much in class but it'd be rude to just flat out ignore him, "Oh and you too of course Fukusho I hope you like your new teacher...uh yeah."

[SiliconColt]

"That's ok Kirito, I admit that I haven't been the best pall either." Mikone said, wondering if that was going to be relevant in her future with her team. She'd need to be more than reliable as a friend because a squad of four was just going to make being a cohesive unit all the more difficult. Group projects were just like that, tough on everyone and especially anyone who pulled the most weight. The young girl thought about it but the more she did the more her train of thought derailed into a wall. "I'll contribute everything I have to us!" She said perhaps a little too loudly. But even with her enthusiasm there was doubt in her tone, which almost made her come off as sarcastic but probably more nervous than anything.

[Jangel13]

Masatake simply bowed to his hat to kirito as a silent thanks as he started to walk and follow kuro out not really very social but he did make sure to be nice to people when he had the opportunity and Masatake shook his head a little at Mikone and he enthusiasm apparently their always needed to be one person on the team who gave everything 100% including their conversations "don't be so nervous were all going to be working together so we have plenty of time to work with everything we have" Masatake said to her hoping that would help ease her nervousness at least a little bit so she would be more like herself but it wasn't unexpected Masatake wasn't nervous at all but that was probably because he doesn't feel like he should be nervous if any of them were going to stab him in the back they would have done it near the beginning of their class year instead of waiting till they were on a team so Masatake wasn't all that worried about them hurting him in the long run...

[GrandzHelios]

Fukusho took the note and read it over a couple times. Fukusho wanted to remember this information in case something happened and he forgot where they were going to meet. That that guy Kirito came up and offered the whole team a nice word. "You too Kirito. I hope your squad becomes great so you can challenge us later on in the future!" Fukusho urged to the fellow ninja. Fukusho began to follow his teammates since they seemed to be heading to the meet place. He didn't want to fall behind the rest of the group so he dashed ahead to catch up with the Uchiha kid. "Hey guy in front. I didn't catch your name." Fukusho stated in hope that he would get an answer. After all his mother all taught him that the a friend would make a successful teammate. The first step to making a friend would be proper introductions with the one you want to befriend.

[vancexentan]

Before Kirito could respond he was pulled back by Nagato and told to go back to his own group. Nagato ushered the group out of the room as well saying that if they didn't catch up to Kuro that they'd probably be left behind by the introverted Uchiha. As the group walked through the halls they learned how fast Kuro was exactly as he was already out of the building made clear by the fact that there was no sign of people in the hall and the door wasn't swinging on it's hinge. It took a moment but Kuro had finally noticed the group was lagging behind when he was half way there and decided to stop when moments later they had arrived. "I thought I told you to hurry up and keep moving." Kuro said to the group as he sighed and pinched his nose. "Look whatever let's get moving alright." Kuro commented dully as he looked around the filled up street and grumbled. "I hate crowds." Kuro proceeded to lead the group towards the point where they'd meet their sensei but before doing so he asked if anyone needed ninja supplies they should probably go get them now because if their sensei caught them without their stuff and he had a plan for them it'd probably leave a bad impression for them. Not that Kuro cared especially but he just wanted to avoid dealing with waiting with their sensei for people who needed to get their things. "I already have everything I need for this I'm not sure about you all. If you'd prefer to make a fool of yourself if my gut feelings is right and you don't have you things then go ahead."

[GrandzHelios]

Fukusho noticed how Uchiha-kun in front of him ignored his question. It wasn't that he didn't feel like talking because he continued to move. It did surprise him because his fellow ninja could move as fast as Fukusho. That was a pretty rare feat for anyone who was not a veteran ninja to be able to do that. Then Uchiha-kun seemed to come to a complete stop as Fukusho dashed pasted him and slide. The abrupt stop caused him to lose his balance and fall flat on his right side. Fukusho felt an intense anger at his fellow ninja even though he knew it was his own fault for not pacing his stop. Then he back tracked a few steps to see Uchiha-Kun stopped to wait up for the other two. Well they sure were pretty far behind so that makes sense, even if he did have an obnoxious way of phrasing his words. No, Fukusho knew he was going to become great friends with all of his teammates. now matter how difficult that task was going to be. Then Uchiha-Kun made a comment about having to keep their ninja gear on them. All Fukusho ever carried was a handful of shuriken and a kunai knife if he was not leaving the village. He strongly felt that his pocket supplies was all that he would need in any situation. "I'm good, I always keep a good weapon nearby."Fukusho said proudly. "How about you guys?" He echoed the question back down the line.

[Jangel13]

Masatake followed them as Kuro started to talk and ask them if they came prepared or if they should stop and buy supplies and one of their teammates who is called Fukusho at least Masatake thinks that's his name asked the same question and Masatake slowly opened his wrists and needles came out of a small compartment in one of his sleeves now his hand had 4 needles between his fingers and Masatake showed them to both of them "this is all I need. If we need anything else then ill assume ill get them after this is done with" Masatake said before he raised his hand up and the needles went back down his sleeve hiding themselves in the process. A needle user relies on a few things one is the element of surprise since a needle can easily be a concealed weapon in a skilled persons hand, the second is that someone will underestimate the effectiveness of said needles as they don't inspire much intimidation considering their not as large as a sword, and finally they need to be in the hands of someone who can use them to their full effectiveness which was Masatake. Masatake simply kept walking and didn't stop as he started to lead the group forward believing that if they were going to do a combat exercise then the needles were all Masatake needed

[vancexentan]

"I'm always prepared that's not even a question." Kuro said with annoyance as he looked back towards the building off slightly in the distance. He rubbed the hilt of his short sword, used effectively in close combat when Kunai were less effective or didn't cause enough damage. He sighed as he heard Masatake talk about his senbon like they were actually going to be effective in there was a combative fight. "Your needles better be coated in some serious sort of sedative or our sensei will just shrug them off. Have you ever seen a jounin in a fight? I have they're deadly and efficient. And from what I've been told of the Nara clan that means our sensei will not be some two bit idiot but some sort of deceptive genius who specializes in picking off idiots who give him openings. Of course there's always the chance that I'm wrong and I'm getting worked up over nothing. I've been told that I expect the worst." Kuro said frankly to all three of his teammates without looking at them still staring at the building.

[SiliconColt]

"Dont you think he'll just introduce himself? I mean why do you think he'll make us fight him? Is that a thing?" Mikone asked catching up with the conversation instead of getting lost in thought.

"Even against a jounin. We'd stand some chance at victory. Wouldn't we?"

[Jangel13]

now im not going to give away my surprise kuro, believe me a chunin a jonin and even the hokage himself can be brought down with these very needles as long as they are experienced with using them. If we have to fight him you will know what I mean" Masatake said knowing that he would know how to use them and that meant he could use different methods for delivering the paralyzing blow to the right area on the body maybe paralyze him from the neck down or anything but that was all dependent on how Masatake delivered that very blow on the enemies body...

[vancexentan]

"Because if there's one thing Nagato Sensei has taught me it's that if you can expect the worst in our line of work. We may be children but our duty is to our village and that includes hurting people. Maybe you're right and I'm just overcompensating for things. Look let's just get moving alright?" Kuro commented with a calm flatness to his voice as he started to walk forward towards the building slightly off in the distance where their sensei awaited...hopefully they may even meet the hokage somewhere along the way.

As Kuro approached the building he looked up at it and remembered the time when he visited this place with his father on one occasion and met the hokage himself. It was around the time he first came into power regardless it was still an interesting experience none the less. To meet the one in control of the whole village he couldn't help but marvel at the man. And even now, as jaded as Kuro was, he could understand the magnitude of the man who controlled their village. What kind of person did you have to be to become that strong? "Well we're here at the very least we should find our sensei soon." commented Kuro as the group is approached by a chunin ranked member of the Uchiha Clan named Kenshin. "Well look what we got here my little buddy found himself some friends! About time you grew up Kuro!" Kenshin said with a grin as Kuro groaned in exasperation and introduced to them his distant relative to the group. Kenshin was a gate guard more or less since his last team moved on without him to jounin rank. However Kenshin was of note in that he was a practiced hand in fire style jutsu. "Well I'll be damned you're the new genin squad huh? Well welcome to the ninja world little fella? Now what can I help you with?"

[GrandzHelios]

Fukusho walked with his group until something about one-hundred meters away caught his attention. He noticed a black cat dangling off the edge of a tree branch. A normal sized cat would probably be fine from that fall but this thing was only a kitten. "I'll be back in a moment." He said as he sprinted away. Fukusho dashed towards the tree in hope that the animal would not slip before he got there. Fukusho soon arrived to the tree and was left waiting for a moment. The cat had a pretty good grip so Fukusho had to encourage it to let go. Soon enough the small animal plopped right into his hands before he placed it on the ground. "How about you try no to climb so high next time." The ninja told the cat as he ran back to his teammates. Fukusho did know that this was not really a priority over meeting their new sensei, but it was still sad. Not to mention his parents always told him that a Konoha Ninja's first priority is to protect the residents of this village. That cat was sure did reside here so it must count.

When the young ninja caught up to his teammates they were standing by a slightly older ninja. Fukusho had absolutely no idea who this guy was but he had some resemblance to Uchiha-kun over there. Maybe it was another ninja from the Uchiha clan. Well it would make sense since the Uchiha were one of the two largest clans in the village. "Hi are you a cop?" Fukusho bluntly asked the new ninja in the group.

[SiliconColt]

"That's not suspicious at all,Fukusho-san." Mikone didnt know much about her teammates beyond the class room but quickly she was learning about the team member's manners and behavior. "Was everything alright with that cat?"

[GrandzHelios]

*** Note this conversation is filler.***

"Suspicious?"Fukusho looked at the voice who had just addressed him. " In truth he had no idea who this person was. It was bad enough that he did not know her name. It was another thing that he did not remember ever seeing her before in his life. It might make him a bad person but he was sure that he would change that relatively soon. Now that his body was faced at her she seemed to be inquiring about that cat. "I feel like it is better to know who the cops are in any situation. That way I can report as much crime as possible. Oh that cat was fine. I got to it more than quick enough. Oh by the way, who are you again?"

[Jangel13]

Masatake simply shook his head as they arrived at the hokage's place and he looked seeing how Kuro was talking to what Masatake can only assume is a distant relative but at the moment Masatake couldn't really care about that but he didn't want to seem rude to him when in reality Masatake felt like he wanted to get something done today before he went back home, or back to the home he was staying in anyways. When the guard asked how they felt Masatake simply shrugged "don't know what to feel other then anxious to get started" Masatake said hoping that would be sufficient answer to let them through so they could meet their sensei...

[vancexentan]

Kuro had to physically restrain himself from strangling Fukusho for wasting time to go off and catch some random freaking cat. Made worse due to the fact that he was doing this in front of Kenshin. "I JUST told you who this is! Do anyone of you three have a brain cell to spare!?" Kuro said holding back his inner frustration as he tried to breath in deeply only for them to come out ragged. He was not worried about his immediate future and he wondered if any of these children could make it past genin level. "Yeah don't worry about it little dude I don't mind. Look I'm a gate guard like Kuro said. I was just passing by on the way back to my shift. Yeah I'm a 'cop' a lot of Uchiha are but I'm not a military police officer. Well I guess good luck with you guys. Just go on in I don't think the people there will worry with those headbands on." Kenshin said before waling past them whistling. Kuro glared at this team mates and walked in ahead of them slamming the door behind him, even if they were right behind him, to cement the point that he was furious with them. When the group finally got inside the guard was confused but pointed them on their way as soon as they mentioned Nara. When the trio finally arrived at the door they found Kuro was already inside. Nara Sensei was inside a office that he seemed to have by himself he was sitting at the desk with a cigar in his hand that was unlit. He was tall and not very muscular. He had long black hair that reached down to his shoulders and his headband was wrapped around his shoulder. "-You do have a rather big attitude and ego don't you? Oh well here's the rest of your team I see. Well don't waste any time come on in and close the door." he said as he looked them over his brown eyes scanning them as if mentally evaluating them. "Well come on now take a seat I don't want you guys standing up unless you want to." The man's gruff voice said as Kuro was looking at their sensei intensely.

[SiliconColt]

Is this him? Mikone adjusted her headband, getting it square on her forehead. It seems that this guy prefers it on his shoulder instead. I thought we could only wear it on our foreheads. Ah well I guess I'll work with what I've got. And there's Kuro...

"Hello. I'm Mikone. Are you Nara Akihiko?" All at once she thought about how stupid she sounded. Gah I said something stupid again. I bet they're all thinking I'm useless.. gah. OK mikone, get yourself together! She smiled nervously.

"Nice to meal you. I MEAN meet you." She covered her mouth, hoping that she'd learn to control her own lips. It's not going to stop is it. I might as well give up now.

[Jangel13]

Masatake sighed softly as Kuro went off asking if they had any brain cells and it was insulting but Masatake just couldn't care less about the guys name to remember it. Masatake followed him quietly not bothering to argue or to insult him back because their wasn't any point in doing so. Once Masatake walked into the room he saw Kuro and their sensei he gently tipped his hat to him as a sign of respect "Masatake Gorou your medical ninja" Angelo said plainly thinking that was all he needed to know unless he asked for more details as Masatake sat down in a seat nearby and seeing Miki-chan start to act nervous again, honestly Masatake was seriously considering if she had some nervous disorder or something for her to be so scared over nothing.
