Suzaku Uzumaki

Leaf ANBU, codename Fox

Suzaku carefully listened to the instructions from the Hokage. Delivering a couple of documents should be a rather easy task for him to accomplish, but he still had to be on his guard. If an ANBU operative was entrusted with the documents, they must be of great importance to the Leaf Village. He stayed for a while, as he already started to plot the best path to take to The Land of Lightning. He would do best to follow the trade routes, as they were guarded better than most other routes. As Hisoka-sama gave a mission to Harumi, his fellow ANBU operative a mission, he was about to leave as well. Just as she was leaving by changing into countless sheets of paper, he decided to take his leave as well." I won´t let you down, Hokage-Sama. Sakamoto-sama ..." he spoke up, saying the last words as a polite, respectful goodbye to Sakamoto. A second later, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Reappearing in his flat, he picked up the few things he decided will aid him in his mission. He took the mast from his face and strapped it to his belt. He would not be needing it while in The Fire Country. Donning his traveling cloak over himself, covering the mask and making him stand out less, he was ready to head out. He pulled the cape on his head, covering his face but maintaining good vision. While in The Fire Country, he will move using classical means of travel. As soon as he leave the borders, he will use The Body Flicker Technique to increase his pace. Taking a deep breath, he disappeared in another puff of smoke. Appearing on the main gate of the village, he gave it another short look before leaping off ... towards The Land of Lightning.

Masami Hyuuga

Konohagakure Genin, Team Hiron

Masami took her position as per orders of Hiron-Sensei and carefully listened to the next set of instructions that followed. She picked up the increased pace and remained at the back of her team - a few seconds later, she formed the Ram Seal and activated her Byakugan, granting her a slightly increase in sight range. This man is ... serious, she though for herself as they continued towards their target. As she learned he will be not entering combat, she was a bit concerned but remained calm. Mia was already a Chuunin, so she sure had plenty of experience, especially if she grew under Hiron-Sensei. The Nara Clan was know for brilliant strategists, so Shikaroku was not to be worried about either. That left only her and she decided she will not let her team down.

As they sighted the target, they immediately sprung into action. She was a bit shocked at the grunting of the turtle and it´s - jogging speed? Masami had her suspicions that this was one weird turtle. Masami immediately spotted Mia sending her ninken to the other side of the lake - as a backup plan, she was almost sure of that. Her eyes scanned the area in search of anything that could help them. They were to keep the turtle from getting into water. Masami got an idea how to slow it down - or at least to attempt slowing it down."Mia! Shikaroku! I am going to try and slow it down! Be prepared. Water Release: Water Trumpet !" Forming the necessary seals, she spewed a large amount of water in front of the turtle, trying to slow it down by turning the terrain into mud.

Hiroshi Hon
Jounin Sensei of team Six

Creating a foundation of teamwork

Hiroshi looked over his students whom were giving their introductions, and he listened to them with great care. They would spend a substantial amount of time together from today and he wanted to know them, so he can develop more than just a teacher - student kind of bond. He wanted them to know he is their teacher, mentor, friend. It was easier with some people, while being more different from others. Though, he believed that his travels around the world granted him knowledge enough so he can pass the knowledge to others. As the introductions ended, he eyed them with curiosity as he formulated his thoughts. Hirudora, in turn, eyed every one of them, Shinko with the most interest.

Suzume was by far the most difficult person he encountered since he returned to The Fire Country, but nothing he would get scared of. From what he heard, she had a difficult past with The Hidden Leaf Village, something she was in no way to change. Changing her attitude towards the things around her, bot mostly towards the village may looked like a task impossible to accomplish, but Hiroshi believed there would be a way. Hard and challenging, but still a way." I understand your grudge towards the village, Suzume-chan and I do not blame you for it. If you would grant me the chance to change anything, I would be more than happy to try and change you view on our village. It all rests in your hands. Remember - I am not only your teacher."

HIroshi´s attention then turned to Shizumi. The boy was young, full of energy. He was glad to see it and he thought about using all that energy in the favor of the boy. If he will invest most of it into his training, Hiroshi was sure he will have no trouble to progress it at good paces. On the other hand, Hiroshi had to make sure to keep it in check - too much uncontrolled energy could potentially lead to undesired effects. And that was something he wanted to avoid as much as possible." I see you are full of energy, Shizumi-kun. Being energetic is a good thing, but you should always make sure to guide your energy the proper way. It can help you to progress your training at rapid paces, but also drag you down. Remember the same thing - I am not only here to teach you."

Then, he turned to Shinko. The girl who showed much promise in her initial greeting just sat there, silently. Hirudora eyed her the most, and Hiroshi´s glance was fixed there for a longer span of time as well. It was all in hopes of getting her to speak up, but to no avail. This was a rather large dent in his efforts to create a working team, a team he will be able to lead on missions. How could they work together if they could not introduce themselves to each other." Working together means knowing each other, Shinko-chan. I am confident we can overcome this ... initial failure in the later stages of our common training."

With that, he stood up and mentioned his students to do the same." I want each one of you to grab one of these planks and to tie this rope to your waists. We are going to start our first exercise. Be careful at how you will take it on." With that, he took a few steps from them, towards a terrain formation that reminded him of a very small lake. Placing the scroll he brought earlier on the shores, he released it and filled the hole completely up with water, thus creating the environment he wanted for their first exercise." You will do your exercise in this ... call it a small lake. I want all of you to sit on the planks on the surface of the water, while tied together with the rope and to think about teamwork again. I will be joining you in this exercise."

Mamoru Senju

Heading out!

As Mamoru listened to Aiko explaining their mission to them, he could not help but already think about a best way to get to know Koike better and start working on their teamwork. Seeing they are both Kenjutsu users, the similarities will hopefully help them to work along, not creating a bitter rivalry between the two. Returning to their mission, it turned out to be quite straightforward - get to the south of The Fire Union and help settle problems. Pretty much what shinobi work means. Standing up as Aiko placed some money on the table, he looked around - people were looking at his armor in confusion since he entered the tea shop, though he only noticed it now. Still, his armor was his pride and he will wear it as long as he can. As Aiko asked away, Mamoru looked at her and replied to her smile with one of his own.

" Not from me, Aiko-sama. If you ask my opinion, it can be anything - from neighbor disputes to insurgents trying to disturb the peace that was achieved through untold hardships. Whatever the case, we should be careful not to underestimate anything. At least, that is my opinion, Aiko-sama."

@Masaki
I accept as well. To the CS bin with it !

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

Shinri Rai

Kirigakure Genin

Rai listened to the orders without a word spoken. He was not fond of taking orders, but Mika-Sensei somehow managed to gain his respect. He was not sure about it himself, but it was that way. The woman know her way about assassination and he could not picture her hesitate in making the kill, and that was something he respected. Being an assassin in training, he decided he will carry out her orders to the last point. After all, he could learn a lot from her. As for the part of not obstructing each other, Rai almost scoffed. He got used to working alone, but three new persons could not do that much harm, now could they? Certainly not. And if all else fails, Rai can still use them to draw attention from himself while he is doing his bloody work, as he calls it sometimes. He returned to reality just as Mika-Sensei was explaining their mission to them.

A group of bandits should not be that hard of a task for them to accomplish. He had no idea about the skills and abilities Haru and Chou possessed, but something told him they will be skilled enough. The other thing was if they were prepared to take out the bandits. He was sure he was going to kill again - the rush of adrenaline and fear he felt every time he did so was terrifying and satisfying at the same time. But he wanted to be an assassin - and assassins do their job. No questions asked, no answers told. Just the job. He took a deep breath and decided to ask away.

" Mika-sensei, is lethal force authorized?"

Masami Hyuuga

Wow, Masami though for herself as she listened to Hiron Sensei speaking as soon as the entire team gathered.He bears a certain resemblance to both Zakito-sama and Hiro-sama, but he is ... serious. Way too serious. I shall better not slack off or anything. These thoughts raced in her mind as she listened to the man introducing himself. Not that she was known for slacking or disobeying orders - she just wanted to make Hiron-Sensei know that she is definitely worth of it to be assigned to his team. Also, to prove both Zakito-sama and Hiroshi-sama that their faith placed in her was in the right place. And she wanted to prove it to herself - and this was the perfect chance. The lightning crackle she heard made her sure she will do her best to please Hiron-Sensei, and she decided she will do so right in their first mission.

As they made way towards the Main Village Gate, Masami listened carefully to the instructions. They were to stop a ... special kind of turtle from leaving the country. That sounded a bit weird to her, but she learned not to underestimate anything - and she will not underestimate this turtle as well. Especially after Hiron-Sensei told that the it already fooled several Chunin ranked shinobi. And also, this mission was to prove to her Sensei that she really is Team 9 material. With that, her determination to succeed raised even more." Understood, Hiron-Sensei." The reply was maybe unnecessary, but she wanted to let him know that she is ready.

Hiroshi Hon

To protect those who have faith in the village ... that is my goal.

With the last of his students arriving to the Hokage Monument, Hiroshi gestured her to sit down. Once she sat down, he turned towards them and stood up, side to side with Hirudora." Well, it seems that the entire Team Six is here. Let me introduce myself to you. I am Hiroshi Hon, the Jounin Sensei of Team Six, Captain of The Wolf Guard and the founder of the Hon Compound in our village. I fought in The First War when I was fourteen years old. I journeyed the world for ten years on my own in my quest for discovery of myself. I have led and survived the defense of the Hon Estate. And this is Hirudora, my long time friend and companion. Why am I telling you all of this? Certainly not to boast about my accomplishments - especially since it is nothing to boast about. I told you all of this so you can know something about me, and in turn, I would like to ask a few questions as well. Questions with answers that might be deceiving."

With that,he sat down a bit closer to them." We will be working together as Team Six from today. The former Sensei of this team, Zakito Hon left me in charge of it. First of all, I want all of you to know that as your Sensei, I am here to help you in all aspects of your shinobi life - be it morals, opinions, or training. I can give you advice but I cannot make decisions for you. We shall begin our training today, but before that, I would like to get to know all of you a bit better. So I am going to ask you to tell me something about you, whatever you feel like telling me. After you tell me about yourself, I would like to know what you think about the meaning of the word teamwork. Whoever feels like starting may go ahead." With that, Hiroshi waited for them to star with a warm smile on his lips, with Hirudora lying next to them and curiously watching the students.

Ryoku Samidare

Amegakure is on the move !

" Yes, thank you, Jurgo-san. If you could, please send notes to Sho Deshuga, Kira Sami and Rini Yoto that their Sensei will be a bit late, and I would like to ask them to be patient just a little bit longer. That will be all, thank you."

Just as Jurgo left his office, Ryoku was finished with the papers on his table. Several charts, most of them with numbers he could call great, some with horrible numbers. He was determined to work all of the numbers into the great zone. He started that as soon as he officially assumed the role of Amekage and finally, his work showed of at least partial results. He placed a big pile of scrolls aside and stood up, walking to the window that offered him a perfect view over Amegakure. Some of the larger buildings were still worked upon, but the village was up and running at peak efficiency. Well, peak efficiency under the current circumstances. He set his plans into motion several months ago, and they finally allowed him to progress into the next stage. Just as he was going to turn back to the papers on his desk, he heard a knock on his door.

The ANBU operatives arrived just on time. Ryoku wanted to further press the interest of his village with its neighboring states and their villages, this time with The Fang Vilalge. Ryoku made some attempts in the past, but this time he was about to do it in a more serious manner. He would send his ANBU operatives on a two way mission. They will be working as a team, but each on their separate mission. He will elaborate it in the meeting that was about to take place.

" Come in."
