Shimura Kanzaki

@FourthKing@KillBox@Kurisa@AbigailTenshi

Kanzaki graciously accepted the cup of water from Kuroda and began to drink it. It took three total drinks, out of a habit from her sword training that she'd developed at some point, and then the cup was empty. Shikkaru seemed pleasant enough, thank goodness, but she would soon be discovering how well they worked together; their first mission was short at hand. And Kuroda was telling her to keep her sword at the ready.

"Cleaned, sharpened, and oiled every morning, Sensei," she replied as she started following him out the door. Standing there was another genin with pink hair, Yarin from what Kuroda said, and the Hokage quickly brought her into the group for the mission at hand. Well, better to introduce herself, she thought as she started walking beside the other girl.

"Hello, Yarin-chan, was it? I'm Kanzaki. Pleasure to meet you."

I'll post before the weekend. Been busy handling a prospective new job.

@Axel I see. Thanks for the info.

Hmm. I'm not a GM by any means, but isn't the Puppeteering technique a Sunagakure signature? I'm not really sure how an Uchiha, which are exclusive to Konoha, would've learned it...

Posted. I've also changed Kanzaki's dialogue color to a lighter shade of blue, hopefully it's easier to read now.

Shimura Kanzaki

Kanzaki stood there along with the rest of her classmates as the ceremony concluded. Lord Kuroda responded to them, then came down the line handing each of them their Konoha headband- the symbol of the village shinobi. It had an odd weight to it, or perhaps it only felt that way because she knew what it was. It was both a symbol of merit to be treasured... and a burden to be carried, even unto injury or death. In a way it was similar to her sword, or at least how Suzaku-sensei had instructed her to view her sword. That made it easier to handle. She did not smile as she accepted it, like some others. Instead she bowed dutifully, thanked the Hokage, then tied it loosely about her throat like a necklace.

A short while later she learned she'd be studying under the Hokage himself in the three-man teams they all had known were coming. It was a bit shocking, discovering that the best shinobi in the village would be her instructor, but it was also sure to be a one-of-a-kind opportunity. She'd be paired with Shikkaru... and with Keizo. That would make things interesting. Truth be told, she'd barely interacted with either boy in the academy. Shikkaru because she'd never really had a chance to, but Keizo she'd actively avoided. He always seemed upset about something, and it always appeared that speaking to him was asking to have all of it shifted onto the speaker for no reason. But, she reasoned, there was no helping it now. She'd have to do as her sensei always said; surmount it, move past it, put it behind her. Just like her slip of the tongue on her name.

"I'm looking forward to it, Shikkaru-kun. Just some water for me please, Kuroda-sensei."

I'm aware. I'm saying if we get more interest after that and need a 3rd (not counting the Hokage himself)

Oh worth noting, if there ends up being enough interest for an additional Jonin to be needed I'm happy to fill that role.

If it makes it easier I'm fine with rotating posting order with you *shrug*

@Kurisa Alright. Just to check, I generally write posts every couple of days, like 2-3 depending on IRL stuff. Is that going to be an issue with anything?
