“Hello. Are you Takeo-sensei?”Takeo, half-asleep, would jump up at the sudden utter of someone mentioning his name. His eyes would be squinting trying to adjust from their closed state and stare at the three genin as he examined them carefully. There was a brunette girl with a huge scroll, Momo Sakurai. She looked confident yet snarky at the same time. A deadly mix. Takeo would remember seeing the girl in the squad files he skimmed over the day before. She was significantly skilled in Bukijutsu for her age. Much better than him atleast.
There was also a pale boy with striking grey eyes that came off almost as silver. The Jounin couldn't admit the boy was ravishingly handsome for his age.
He looks just like me when I was a genin. The man would break from his vivid thoughts as he returned back to creepily scanning the boy from his seated position. Kite- no. Keita Ryuukaze. He was skilled in Ninjutsu, wind and fire, if he remembers. Promising stuff. The Jounin would try and not take an unfair favoring to the boy seeing as how he is the only other male in the squad.
Bro's He would then finally look upon a girl who would be at eye level with him from his lowered position on the stump. Isami Suzuki. She looked fairly younger then the other two, and much frailer. She almost looks like she should still be at the academy, as if she was twelve. The girl was overall very skilled and talented as a Genjutsu user, he was told. He also heard rumors about how her sensory skills were among the best.
"If ten people farted at the same time she would be able to know which one ate curry last night." He would remember hearing and doubting out of pure ridiculousness.
The Jounin would finally stand after the long awkward pause he took to examine all of them. He would then smile before raising his closed fist hoping they would give him a returning fist bump.
"Yup! My names Takeo." He would finally get to saying with a warm smile.
"but it'd be cool if you could call me Takeo-senseo. Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?" "Don't worry about introductions either. I already know who you cool cats are." The Jounin would say before pointing at the genin followed by snapping as he called their names.
"Momo, Keito, and Isamo.""Anyways, as your Senseo I have very high expectations of you all. I know each of have your own talents and I also know each of you have potential to be as strong and capable Shinobi." He would then walk past the three genin motioning them to follow him. The man then would form his hand to act like a puppet.
"But senseo, why did you bring us here today?" He would utter with his puppet hand.
"Ahh...great question. The main reason you all were brought here today was so I could put you guys through a little test.""Don't worry! It's nothing involving pen or paper now. It's just a little race around the training grounds. Let's go about thirty, maybe fourty laps. Light-work. Just stay around along the path and no cutting corners, alright gals and guy?"The jounin would then point his finger and show the path genin are meant to take. Along the right inner area of the forest, over or through the widely stretched lake, up the steep jagged hill, down the other side, then through the outer portion of the left area forest, then finally back to the open field to which will count as one lap.
"I don't want to make this a competition between you all though. Essentially first, or second place doesn't matter betwwen you guys. The only person you should really worry about is..." He would then cock his head towards the three genin as his usual warm smile was now giving off a more intimidating vibe.
"...Senseo."The jounin would begin to crack his knuckles as he started towards the center of the training grounds.
"I'll give you all the go ahead once you dudes seem ready."
