@pkken Feel free to fuck around with Dio/Mu, because I intend to head out on our mission ASAP rather than hang around and discuss unnecessary shit

Do we still need one more Jounin for that last group of the unassigned?

@BladeSS4

I don't think so.

@Masaki Haruna That's why this is an AU.

@Gowi I don't really need to do a ruling because this will never appear in the RP Kaido has a reason for being Hyuga-Uchiha, and besides that actually doesn't have either of the two KG. I'd normally consider a character like this quite lame, but Hillan's idea for the plot around him was too good to pass up - except the story is a slow burn, so you guys will only see the plot somewhere down the line.

@Masaki Haruna Because scorched earth is even less useful if you're only unfreezing it; that only works if you burn trees to fertilize land, and even then it'd just freeze over the next day again. Useless.

<Snipped quote by Buddha>

Well, yeah I know you don't choose your chakra nature :P

I meant that in an age of biting cold those that can convert their chakra into a flame would presumably be sought after, that kind of popular :)

@McFazzer

On the one hand yeah, but on the other hand, I imagine most villages have a fair amount of them already.

This might be an odd question, but was Water Release all of a sudden a lot stronger/more used during the long winter? My understanding of water release is more powerful in areas that naturally have water, lakes, rivers, beaches, misty places etc. and since snow is just frozen water... I'm sure my line of logic isn't all that obtuse here :P

I also imagine Fire Release became rather popular for a rather opposite reason

@McFazzer

Water release was stronger, probably. But you have to keep in mind that 'the 10 year long winter' wasn't pure snow all day. It was mostly permafrost (i.e. the thing you see in Russia - it's cold but it's not covered in snow year round. The ground is just frozen solid, and nothing will grow.) So for the first year, maybe 2, there would've been snow but after that you have to imagine the type of soil where, if you step on it, your foot doesn't sink in it, and the dirt is basically so frozen that they might as well be rocks.

Fire release didn't become more popular - remember, you don't choose your chakra nature, lol.

Once the jonin had left her office, Mawari felt inclined to release a sigh, leaning back in her chair ever so slightly while she mentally prepared herself for the task of training a team. She gave herself a minute - not more - before she slapped her palms on the desk and got up. Right, time to get to work. She got up and grabbed her white cape and purple sash, throwing the cape over her shoulder and then tying it all down neatly with her purple sash. When she was done, she looked at the body-length mirror in the office and fixed her eyepatch slightly, puling it down ever so slightly. Unnoticeable to anyone else, but to her it was very obvious it wasn't in the right place.

Once she was done, she left the office, closing the door behind her as she left. She walked down the stairs and through the entrance, before parading onto the streets of Konohagakure. Perhaps the leadership of a team had another benefit, and that would have to be 'not being locked inside'. A welcome benefit, at least.

Heading down the main road leading down the entrance of Konoha to the Hokage's office, she immediately spotted a single team member of hers. Seemed they had already gotten the notice of her leadership - which was strange, there must be a leak of information somewhere. Perhaps one of those damn Hyuga already let them know the hokage would 'teach' them. Well, they were wrong. She wasn't going to teach them much, except for the fact that she was merely testing the waters with these new teams to see who would function well enough for her.. molding and shaping of the future generation.

As Dio approached, she walked up to him with a rapid pace, not giving him much time to respond. She immediately grabbed his arm, and forcefully dragged the young lad with her, heading for the small town square in front of the ramen place. Once she got to the center of it, she let go of Dio's arm, and turned to him. “Good of you to make your appearance. You're precisely in time. In fact, you are late. Don't ask me how or why. From now on, whenever we have a mission, you'll be in front of the Hokage's office at 5.30 AM sharp. Good boy.”

While she did not speak extremely fast or slow, her stern tone and the hidden implication that 'he would do as she said, regardless of what he thought' would not offer him much time or space to object. “Where are your teammates?” she mumbled, more to herself than him. Looking around, her eyes befell on the ramen place, and through the gap in the curtains she made out what she presumed to be Mū.

Without speaking to Dio, she walked off again, her pace rapid. Whether Dio followed or not, she would continue towards the ramen place, and with one quick swipe of her hands, she would open the curtain. She made a rather 'grande entry' when she did, letting everyone know that the hokage was inside.

Without giving anyone time to react - it seemed she was in a hurry today - she reached for Mū and grabbed him by the shoulder, pulling him backwards and forcing him off the seat. Her incredible physical strength must've been felt by him, despite her rather normal figure. “Mū Sarutobi, how nice of you to be late for our meeting. Follow me.” Without letting him enjoy his meal, she dragged him with her, making sure he 'followed her.' When she left the place, she looked at Senhime, passing by her momentarily when she left. When she did, she shot the woman a smile, seemingly finding herself amused with the differences in 'teaching'.

She dragged him all the way back to the square, before tossing the boy down in front of Dio - whether he stayed on his feet or not, that was up to his reflexes. “Okay, good. Now I have two of you snub-noses here, all I need is that good-for-nothing third cousin of yours, Ira.”

When she thought about it, she raised her fingers to her chin and softly stroked it, looking up to the sky ever so slightly. She pondered for a moment what the best punishment would be for that boy. “Hmh. Okay, here's the catch. I'm the hokage, so I'm the boss. And I am not feeling like looking all over for that kid, when he should've been here already.”

She offered the two boys a smile, lowering her hand from her chin. It seemed she had come up with a rather devious plan to ensure that the two boys would get properly warmed up. “So, you two are going to make up for being late, and you're going to find him. And you're gonna drag him here. Who ever of you two manages to get him here first, wins a prize.”

Glaring back at the ramen place, she carefully looked back at the boys. Well, she wasn't going to pay for their food. The prize would be something much better. She'd reveal it when she had a winner. For now.. “Oh. And all bets are off. If you two want to use taijutsu or something to make sure you bring Ira back here first - whether that means knocking each other out, or knocking Ira out - that's fair by me. Life isn't fair after all. Ready, set, yawn, go.”

And with that, she expected the two boys to run off immediately to go find Ira. She herself would stand where she was, and casually spend time looking around, observing the people around her.
