I just remembered, and I should probably inform everyone:

QT has told me that he has resigned from the roleplay.

Chou Minori

Just barely dodging the kunai sent by her sensei, Chou landed on a branch in a bit of a distance from Mika and listened. After hearing what the woman said coldly, she gave a cold glance back "I couldn't do what you ordered me, because that would mean I would be forced to drag Haruhi on the ground with difficutly, and thus, be left behind and be punished for it. I assumed Rai is stronger and would be capable of carrying her without any difficulty." She said, explaining with her cold tone why she hadn't tried to carry Haruhi.

"As for why I tried to touch you, it was for my Kekkei Genkai." She said and pointed at her eye, which was still black with the small white dot in the middle, but soon enough it changed back to normal "I require just a bit of chakra, which can be passed through touch, to be able to track people down up to a certain distance. This can allow me to do calculated moves and know exactly where is who, and if someone tries to trick me by disguising themselves, it will never work. Bad thing about my kekkei genkai is that it makes my sight more limited. Now you know what I know about my kekkei genkai, or as I like to call it, my damned eye." She said and then turned away before moving back in the direction of Rai and the unconcious Haruhi.

Landing on a branch near them, Chou watched and waited to see if he will need help carrying her, or will he do just fine on his own. What she knew, however, was that she hated her sensei even more now.

Chou Minori

Listening to the comment and order of Mika, Chou did not blink. She wanted them to carry that useless piece of meat that was their teammate? Seemed pointless in her eyes. Chou just jumped away, leaving Rai to do the job. She quickly begun following her sensei, noticing that Mika has moved faster than before. Feeling her eye itch, it gave her a signal that she could now use her visual kekkei genkai, which meant it was time for her to be risky.

Using chakra to boost her movement, she slowly, and with a bit of effort, approached her sensei from behind. She only needed a single touch, no matter where, and for a second, so she would get her chakra signature. Her eye turned black with the small white dot, making her sight in it completely black, except for the small mark behind her that was Haruhi. After a few more minutes, after finally reaching her sensei's side and keeping up with a bit of difficulty, she tried to touch her sensei's arm, so she would be able to get the chakra, and thus have another chakra signature memorized.

Hoshi Miwa

Seeing Tora jump away just in time, Hoshi smiled and then stopped in her tracks "Very good. That was a test to see if you can follow orders well while under pressure, and you passed successfully. And do not worry, I wouldn't have given you more than a scratch. It might've felt like the kunai was pressing, but that is merely to make it appear as if I am ready to strike. Now come here, like I said before, our training for today is done, but you can be sure I will give you a chance to properly spar me,. Right now I wish to teach you how to disspell a genjutsu, which is something we can also do outside." She said and then begun walking to the door.

Opening it, Hoshi flashed a smile to Tora "If you want to have any proper chance of fighting me, you need to either know how to disspell a genjutsu, or know how to track someone, thus be a sensor. I cannot say if you are fit to be a sensor, unfortunatly, but I can teach you how to disspell a genjutsu, and also a small little thing which may come in handy in the future." She said and waited for him to come and exit the building.

Rika Suzu and Sakamoto Senju
MIzukage and Konohagakure ANBU meeting

By J8cob and Mr Nim

The Meeting

Jumping between the trees, Sakamoto calculated in his head how much further he would need to go to reach Kirigakure. He figured it wouldn't be too long now, since he spent quite a bit of time moving and barely rested. He felt slightly hungry, but he knew that on his way back he could stop at a dangoo place and eat some. Suddenly hearing something from behind him, he stopped on a branch of a tree and turned to look behind him "Kiri ANBU, I assume. I have come from Konoha on the behalff of the Hokage with a message to the Mizukage." He said, not seeing his followers yet, but being aware they heard him clearly.

As Sakamoto made his way through the trees, two slender young men appeared behind him. Both wearing a different type of mask, signifying their ANBU status. They continued to follow Sakamoto, without a word, even after he identified their presence. But once he called them out, they ceased using stealth and simply followed Sakamoto. After several more minutes, the trees ended and a thick mist had formed. But going further through that, the mist thinned out and revealed the outer wall of Kirigakure. "Lady Mizukage is at the Office, presently," one of the ANBU finally said, catching up to Sakamoto. "We will escort you there."

Nodding to them, Sakamoto begun following the two ANBU, keeping his own ANBU mask on and making sure to be aware of everything. Hisoka wanted Sakamoto's own report on the status of things inside the village, and he was going to make one as good as he could. He also wanted to ensure no one tried attacking him, but he was fairly certain that being escorted by a couple of the village's ANBU would be more than a good reason for people not to attack him.

The walk across the village was at a casual pace. On this day in particular, Kirigakure wasn't as busy as normal. But there was signs of life everywhere. Never in the main streets, but in the alleys it could be seen that children were playing and having fun. Vendors were shouting advertisements for their products and sometimes people would shout back and call them frauds. But despite the slow walk, the Mizukage Office wasn't very far and the party was there within ten minutes. Once inside, the ANBU merely walked past the lobby toward the staircase. The Mizukage was on the top floor, so they had to walk. But eventually, they stopped at the door, before moving to the side. "She has no further business today, so you are dismissed when she says you may go," the ANBU said again, before motioning toward the door.

"Understood." He said before knocking and opening the door. He closed it quietly behind him and then gave a bow to the woman in front of him "Hello, Mizukage-sama. I'm an ANBU from Konohagakure, and was sent here by the Hokage to deliver a message to you, if you will accept it." He said, and got up from the bow, hoping she will not be as hostile or crazy as most people described the past Mizukages to be.

The short woman sitting behind the desk wore the Mizukage robes, but the hat was nowhere to be seen. She was quiet for a moment, but she smiled after Sakamoto introduced himself. Somewhat. "Konoha, huh," she repeated, her voice sounding as sweet as ever. But that wasn't intentional. "Let us play a guessing game. You've been sent here because... the Hokage wants to have a little get-together with me?" With her naturally kind voice, it almost sounded sarcastic. But even with her smile, she was being serious. "Was I close?"

He nodded before taking out a scroll which was sealed with the Konoha mark "You are very close. The Hokage indeed wishes to meet you in four eyes, and he has the full details of where he wishes to meet and when in this scroll. All I need is for you to give a response if you will accept his request, and if you do, then if the place and time of the meeting is fine, so I can give him a proper reply and then preparations can be made accordingly." Sakamoto explained his job fully, hoping it will make the Mizukage see that he has nothing to hide and thus, make her lose that slightly disturbing kind voice. He was not used to kages sounding that nice, or kind, or sweet.

"Oh?" Rika let out, before accepting the scroll and looking over it. After a moment of silence, her smile returned and she gave Sakamoto the scroll back. "That is fine to me," she said, before opening a drawer on her desk. "But before you go, I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind. I guess you don't have to answer the ones you aren't allowed to, I won't cry about it. Is that okay?" Rika had withdrawn a pad of paper and an ink pen from the desk, and now placed them on top of it.

Taking the scroll back, Sakamoto placed it inside his pouch and was about to leave when he heard Rika speak again. She wanted to ask him questions? Seemed a bit odd for him, but since she had no idea who he was, other than being a Konoha ANBU, he figured that as long as he didn't answer any question which could be bad for Konoha then it would be fine "I suppose you can ask me some questions." He said and turned back to face her, not moving from his spot and waiting to see what the first question will be.
Rika closed her eyes and smiled for a moment, before her expression became a bit more serious. "Well, first off... how do you, as in you personally, feel about Kirigakure so far? Is this your first time here? I imagine it is, considering... well... considering who my predecessors were," she asked, sitting upright in her seat and positioning the pen above the first sheet of paper. It was clear she would be writing down his answers.

"Its leaves a much better impression then what I was told it was in the past. It feels quite welcoming and friendly, unlike what I've heard it was with the past Mizukage's." He answered, keeping it short and simple. He didn't want to start boring himself with long answers.

The Mizukage didn't start writing anything down, oddly enough. "I see. That is what I would hope for, after all. Trust me, the mess it used to be... You probably wouldn't want to be here today if it was anyone else behind this desk," Rika said with a chuckle, though for a brief moment the memory of Fumiyo passed through her mind. Her eyes seemed to flash with hatred for a split-second, before returning to their normal shade of green. "Here's a little more personal of a question I guess... how do you feel about Lord Hokage?"

Sakamoto did not move upon hearing the question. In fact, he stopped breathing for a few seconds. Obviously every ANBU knows the kage they serve a bit more close and personal, but he still thought that was a question that is a bit rude to ask. If he said anything bad about the Hokage, then that could be seen bad in Hisoka's eyes, not to mention Meisa. If he praised him too much, he could appear to be pro-Konoha, which was also something he wished to avoid in front of the Mizukage. Deciding on an answer, he looked in the direction of Rika through his ANBU mask "I feel that Lord Hokage is doing his job very well, much like how I believe each of the Kiri ANBU would say the same about you." He said in a calm tone.

Before writing anything, Rika began chuckling. After she composed herself, she wrote down what Sakamoto said. "Funny you should mention that," she said with a grin, before the grin faded away into something more sad. "I have found that most actually fear me, despite my efforts against that. It is difficult to help people recover from... my predecessor's damage." With that out, she let out a sigh, as if she just confessed something that had been bothering her. "Next question. How do you feel about Lord Hokage's Assistant? Has she been doing a good job in your eyes?" With this, Rika placed the ink pen above the paper again and glanced up at Sakamoto.

Now she was truly hitting a personal spot in Sakamoto's eyes, but he couldn't show it "She is doing her job in a very fine manner. I believe that the combined thinking of both Lord Hokage and her is what managed to improve Konoha in the way it has." He said, keeping the calm tone in his voice and his sight on Rika. Something about this begun feeling very wrong. What was the Mizukage trying to do here, he wondered.

"I see..." Rika said, writing something down. However, after finishing that, she moved the paper and began writing something down on another, before folding it closed and putting a seal on it. "To make things fair, you can ask me any questions you may have. But first, hand this to the ANBU outside the door once you decide to leave," Rika said, holding the folded paper out over the desk toward Sakamoto. "Don't worry, it won' explode or anything like that."

Taking the folder, Sakamoto stood up and looked at Rika "I only have one question, one which is somewhat personal, and like you told me before, you don't have to answer it, and in fact I would surprised if you did." He said, looking at the folder and then back at her "How does it feel, to be in charge of the village?" He asked in a very polite manner, hoping she won't give him a whole lecture in return if she did decide to answer.

The question seemed to surprise Rika, and it made her silent. It was evident that she was thinking about it. During her silence, she looked over her shoulder. Behind her was a large window that had a panoramic view of Kirigakure. She looked out it for a moment, before her eyes went back to Sakamoto. "It feels... constricting." After a brief pause, she smiled a bit. "But there are a few things that help me manage, and without them I probably could not do this. I'm sure that's how many leaders feel, I suppose." She closed her eyes for a second, and once she opened them the smile was gone and it was back to business. "Is that all?"

"That is it, Mizukage-sama. Thank you for your time, and I will be sure to send your response to Lord Hokage." He said before giving her a short bow, going to the door and then walking out of it, doing this as quietly as he could. He approached one of the two ANBU that stood out of the door and gave them the folder "This is from the Mizukage." He said, and after the ANBU would take it, Sakamoto would procceed to leave the village as quickly as he can, aiming to head back and reach Konohagakure as quickly as he can.

Once the door closed behind Sakamoto, Rika relaxed into her seat more. She spared a brief glance down toward the notes she wrote, before looking back up at the door. His answers were just as I predicted, she thought to herself, now standing up and facing the window. Nothing in them to give away his identity. However, he did hesitate before answering both questions. This could be that he was thinking how to word them, or it could be... I need more proof. But in the mean time... As she could see Sakamoto through the window, running across the village, the door behind her opened and the ANBU walked in. "The ANBU handed us the letter without tampering with it," the ANBU said. But Rika's expression didn't change. "I see... Now, your next orders are..."

Hoshi Miwa

Watching as Tora begun formulating a plan of his own using the trees, She silently watched as he threw a couple of shurikens in her direction, which she easily dodged. While the small attack wasn't too impressive, it still made something clear to her, and that is he makes good use of his other senses. Figuing Eiji might be starting to make his way back by now, she decided it was nearly time to end this little training.

Doing a few seals, Hoshi created a very large fireball which burnt down two of the trees which had Tora's kunai stuck on them. She also marked to the jounins in the platform to begin preparing the fields that were not used. She wanted to ensure everything was fine by the time all the teams have gathered around for the opening.

Taking another look at Tora, she moved quickly, lowering her head so it would not touch the wires, and arrive run next to the young boy, holding a kunai behind his head "I am going o release the genjutsu now, and you need to jump at the very instant you see. While I understand you have a plan to bring me down, we do not have too much time, so I will spar you again in the future. Now, release." She said and did with her free hand the release sign, and Tora would quickly regain his vision as Hoshi would make her kunai touch the skin of the back of his head.

Yoshikuni Sadako

Hearing something come out of the ground behind them, Kuni instantly turned around "How did you manage to hi-" She begun to ask her sensei, already knowing it was him. And once she turned around she was it was indeed Eiji. She figured he was probably a clone, seeing the way he showed up, and soon enough Kuni did a release seal, making the clone that followed Shiro vanish and become rocks which crumbled away.

Once they arrived back at the route and begun to walk on it, Kuni looked at Shiro with annoyance. She didn't want to split up, but he went and did it anyways. She wondered if he even knew it was their test, but decided against asking him directly. Instead she looked at Eiji, who now held Ebizu "Hey Ebizu." She said and petted the bird on its back before turning her full attention to her sensei "How did you manage to hide from my clone? I mean, it looked underground, and then I had another one follow Shiro." She asked in a curious tone. If he didn't move underground, then that could've only meant "The trees. You hid on the trees." She concluded and looked at him, hoping her answer was correct.

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

Hoshi Miwa

Watching with a small smile, Hoshi moved out of the kunai's way and allowed it to hit the wall behind her, just so she could see what he was planning. Deciding not to make it too easy for him, she moved closed to a different wall with quiet, slow movements, ensuring he would not hear the water surface being touched. She then looked at him and took a small note of teaching him how to disspell a genjutsu.

"If you stay still too long you are much like a sitting duck. Very easy to kill, and also very easy to capture. Even if one of your senses if disabled, try and use your other senses more. This may appear a bit odd, but you will likely find something to aid you, like a wall or a-" She watched as the jounin above her did a few seals which made a few small trees come up around the field, including one next to Tora "Tree. Never stay still." Hoshi finished speaking to him, her voice echoing throughout the building and she then threw a kunai directly behind Tora, aiming to make him stand his guard and not truly harm him. She felt that if he did not know how to disspell a genjutsu then their training session was already done.

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

Hoshi Miwa

Making no reaction to Tora speaking to her, Hoshi closed her eyes and chose a jutsu to begin with. She opened them again and let go of the piece of paper. She then quickly proceeded to do a single seal. After doing it, Tora would find himself unable to see anything except for himself "You cannot find what you are looking for if you cannot see your goal. Let us see how well you do while being blind folded without an eye cover." he would hear Hoshi's voice speaking to him from all around him.

Hoshi, in the meanwhile, proceeded to move and stand across the room from Tora, remaining on water but also being ready. She had no idea how well did the kid knew how to break out of a genjutsu, and if he even knew how to do so. She figured this would be her own, personal chance to give a bit more knowledge on the skills of his newest member, as well as give him a bit of training if Eiji would take longer than expected. Looking at a jounin who stood on a small platform above her, she gave him a nod and he begin doing several seals, indicating he was preparing to chance the scene in the room.

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

Hoshi Miwa

"Call me Hoshi, and I am not your sensei. Your sensei is currently away with the rest of your team, and once he returns he will ensure you have proper introductions. His name is Eiji, and you should approach him only as Eiji-sensei. As for your teammates, I will the introductions to them, so you may get to know each other better and understand how each one interacts." She said as they approached and then stood in front of the large building. She approached a jounin who stood outside of what appeared to be the main entrance to the building and whispered something to him. The jounin nodded and opened the door, only revealing darkness inside. Motioning to Tora to follow her once more, she went inside, and would disappear from sight at first.

When Tora would walk inside, he would feel something odd, as if he is not standing on solid ground anymore. Hoshi would wait until Tora entered and the doors closed behind before speaking once more "This is the Advanced Training Ground, or Training Facilities. Its an adjustable field which allows the shinobi of our village to train in any kind of condition." She said and whistled, letting a jounin inside know it was time to turn on the lights. Hoshi would appear to be standing on water, and the ground below it was not visible. Tora would be standing on the edge of a very small ground surface, and the rest of the field had only one visible, small island "By adjustable, I mean we can create any kind of scenario."

"In this case, you have been sent on a mission to retrieve intel from a spy in an enemy land, and the intel was stolen by another shinobi. You chased him into sea, and pulled him out of his boat. You only have minutes to get the intel out of his hands, and you have the option of killing him or not." Hoshi said, revealing a scroll and then placing it in her sleeve "You are allowed to come with everything you know and any kind of tool you possess. I will give you a moment to prepare, but once you see me drop the piece of paper-" She now took out a small paper and held it in her hand above the water "Thats when we start, and you will have three minutes to try and get the scroll out of my hands."

Hoshi looked at Tora, hoping he understood everything.
