Vain:The blaring continuous sound rocked the deep sleep the young child was in, the response was brief and aggressive; she’d throw her alarm clock at the wall. With a loud yawn she sat up in her bed, her pale hands rubbing her eyes. With a shaky step, she stood up and got ready for her day. This was the big day, the one where the small girl known as Yasu Hatake was to meet her team and sensei. A part of her was excited, but that was only because she was moving up the ranks little by little. Once she was dressed she stared at herself in the mirror, offering a slight shrug at her appearance. The gray locks were combed neatly framing her face, her headband tied around her neck. She wore a rather mute pallet of colors, all blacks except for a small amount of violet. With another yawn she exited her room and slid down the banister and headed to the kitchen, expecting to see her mother…which hadn’t been the case. The onyx eyes gazed at the fridge, seeing a sign from her mother. “Working late tonight, dinner is up to you. –Kazu Hatake.” Yasu offered a short sigh, her face showing just a glimmer of disappointment, she wanted to see her mother in the kitchen. Making breakfast, maybe even wish her good luck but such things would never happen to Yasu. This was the normality in her life. Her father took off, and it felt as though her mother hated her. Yasu shrugged it off and grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and continued on her way. She passed various villagers, all of which looked at Yasu, providing her with waves and kind smiles. Yasu however, wouldn’t reciprocate the behavior. The genin continued on her way, eventually making her way to the training grounds. Her eyes shifted, looking around to see if anyone else had arrive…It seemed she was the first to arrive. With a quick motion she hopped onto one of the tall logs that stood in the middle of the training grounds. She sat there and tossed her apple into the air a few times before taking a bite out of it. Yasu’s mind trailed back to the note her mother had left her, a overwhelming amount of guilt attempted to squeeze into her head but she quickly shook it away. In her eyes this is what she had to do to find her father…to maybe bring him home. Hopefully then they could be a happy family again…



Heki: 9:00 AM. Akira had already gotten up out of bed a while ago and was seen walking the streets of Konoha with a large scroll on his back; his serious gaze staring off in the distance as if he had some matter of great urgency to tend too. The stern Genin was known for being a concentrated individual but he had been loosening up a bit lately. But not today though. No, today Akira had things to do, matters to tend to, as he was slowly starting to mature. He already lived on his own, took care for himself, and now he’d join a team to which meant more missions and a better income. But more importantly, being in a team meant quicker growth. And to become a better Shinobi, that was Akira’s biggest desire. Every day dedicated to improving himself to become the greatest Suiton Shinobi in all the Hidden Villages. That’s why even on a day as this he carried his large scroll with him to learn the theory behind the Jutsu that he had experienced the core essence off after a unique ordeal yesterday. Now he just had to figure out the theory and he’d surely be able to pull it off before too long. Alas, the white-haired 13 year old finally stepped into the training grounds, kicking the entrance gate open while taking a final bite of some octopus balls. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even both extending a hand and promptly walked in; the door falling shut behind him, making the fence stir. Making his way to the small stream which ran through the training grounds, Akira sat down cross-legged by the waterside and opened the large scroll on his lap, studying details about molding his physique with water. –I wonder if there are any Shinobi who can actually turn to water.- Wondered the clan-less Genin as he continued to read on oblivious of the girl less than 5 yards behind him.



DamienKiyoshi: -It was early morning in the Hidden leaf and as per usual a certain member of the Hyuga clan was already up and prepared for the day, since today wasn’t just any ordinary day young Dante was sat on the Dojo floor of the Hyuga compound, crossed legged and each hand on the corresponding thigh in a slight meditative state. The sounds of the nearby forest echoed throughout the estate, birds chirping and slowly chugging water from the pond which lay just behind the Dojo, these sounds where the real beauty in this world, the calm natural sounds of nature. Having been sat here a while now, he could hear the alarm in his Sibling's room go off, which brought his attention back to the current realm pretty fast. As a sigh escaped his emotionless features the young Hyuga quickly stood walking to the edge of the polished wooden floor and out onto the compounds outskirts where his rubber shinbo styled shoes were kept. Quickly slipping his feet into them, knocking the tips of them on the floor below to make them a perfect fit Dante set off, slow in pace he was in no rush, although he thought he should he there before a certain person. The certain person being the leader of the new team he was assigned to, today. After a short walk Dante approached the training grounds where they were said to meet the gate would be already closing as if somebody had just entered, slipping through before it closed fully. Already knowing someone must be here from the gate closing, Dante took it upon himself to stand in the middle of the training ground, twisting his head left and right to get a good all round view spotting a young Genin sitting by the stream and another over on a log. Where these his new teammates? He didn’t see anybody who looked to be of a Jonin status around here, well maybe he made it in time then, taking a seat upon the shaved grass below him, crossing his legs and attempting to enter his meditative state once more.-



Expo: The day was bright as always, the sun hung high in the sky it was completely blue resembling that no clouds where over lapsing the sun. Under this sun light was a man known as Takuza, his complexion being calm as he strides down the village of Konoha to meet his newly assigned team. All the habitants who roamed this early would simply look and watch as Takuza walked calmly through the streets of Konoha. The main reason for this was because they all admired his abilities and recognized him as a real shinobi. But the ladies founds him just plain attractive and cool as he personally didn’t care at all for them. As he continued to walk he finally would reach the area near the training ground and settle down to wait for his new students to arrive. He was quite interested as he had received files from their records and actually did a little snooping around to actually see how they would work together. This basically meant Takuza had studied his students before they even became his students. But that was beside the point, if his students were to find out it would make them feel odd entirely so he decided to keep it to himself and act as if the entire meet up was freshly new. Two students had already arrived, but both of them seemed to be minding their own business almost as if they didn’t want to associate with each other. Sadly for them since they were still children team work was essential for them to progress as Shinobi. He smirked quietly from the shadows of the trees in which surrounded the training grounds. His dull black eyes peering over and observing them until the last Genin arrived. He sighed and whispered to himself “I guess my entrance should be now.” He then vanished from his location in the forest and appeared in the middle of the battle field in front of Dante. His eyes peering over to him as he cleared his throat loudly trying to get everyone’s attention. “I am guessing you are all here to find to find out who your Teacher is am I right? Well that would be me, my name is Takuza Uchiha.” He smiled as his Uchiha shirt fluttered to the wind. The insignia of his clan being carried upon his back as he wore his shirt with pride. He also consisted of a set of grey shorts in which consisted of a bandage wrapped around his right leg with a blue rectangular pouch attached to his thigh. This easily consisted of his Kunai’s for easy withdrawal. Not only did he possess this, he also consisted of a black shinobi pouch which was located on his rear end specifically on the right side. His Konoha head band was located on the side of his pants near his pockets. His hands being tucked in would only move the headband only to have the sun reflect off of it and beam in another direction. His long black pony tail simply danced to the wind as he had hoped his students had gathered around and listened to his request as for his introduction. He then awaited their responses as he was calm and remained completely still watching all of his students carefully.





Vain: Yasu watched as the other’s made their ways to the training ground, she studied all of them briefly. One of the other genin seemed to completely not notice her, which she liked. Silence was easier, and the other seemed to see her and he too didn’t speak. Perhaps this was to be easier then she expected? Eventually their Sensei appeared, and introduced himself. ‘Uchiha…Hm’ her brows raised in interest as she stood up on the log, she took a few more bites of her apple before tossing it into the forest for an animal to eat. The apple soared through the air and eventually disappeared. Yasu folded her arms across her chest as she looked around at the other genin, she wasted no time in introducing herself, she rather get it out of the way and be done with it. “I am Yasu Hatake.” She called out, her face looking bored and uninterested. Yasu had no intention to say much more about herself, it was a waste of time. With a swift motion she jumped down from the log and took a few steps until she was in front of the male known as Takuza. Her onyx eyes shifted up to him, studying him for a few moments before she offered a slight nod. Yasu knew a bit about the Uchiha clan, and honestly she was happy she got a teacher from that clan. She hoped the training would be harder, his expectations higher. The small girl had high hopes and want to waste no time on meaningless tasks like she had seen other Genin do. Alas she kept her thoughts to herself and remained silent, her gaze eventually shifting to the tree line, gazing at a bluebird who sat on a branch, watching them in curiosity. Yasu’s face softened as she got distracted, but soon as one of the other Genin spoke, the same cold expression would rise to her face once more. As she there, her hands slowly pulled her hood over her head, hiding her face from the others. In a way this was a comfort to her, she didn’t quite understand why.



Heki: Polite as ever, Akira finished up on his readings and sheathed his scroll in the large red canister before getting up to his feet and bowing to Takuza. “Greetings Sensei.” Spoke the child before standing up straight and catching a breeze in his tufts of white hair. He would then take in the visage of the black haired individual set to train the group of gathered Genin for perhaps years, or longer,, or perhaps far shorter. After all… some Genin never made it past their first year. Thinking about this, he wondered why he was paired with this Jounin, and these other Genin, cause from what he could see they had no real immediate chemistry going on. –Then again, I shouldn’t draw any consumptions too quickly.- Akira walked over to the others and introduced himself. “My name is Akira, of no clan. I specialize in Water Release techniques. My goal is to become the one and only Lord of Water, a Suiton prodigy.”. Akira’s voice was clear and sound and filled with determination as he looked to the right of him to see the girl now known to be Yasu Hatake. He had never heard of her clan before. From what he could see she liked to make her own rules, or break them, which could prove interesting to say the least. Akira smirked and waited for the final Genin to introduce himself.

DamienKiyoshi: -As the male appeared before Dante, he barely moved an inch but was shocked at the sudden arrival of the make who introduced himself as Dante new group leader, and not only that he was a Uchiha. Dante’s eyes glance the man named Takuza up and down giving him the quick once over before another Genin, the female joined them. Listening to her name he didn’t much pay attention, nor did he care for the male GEnin who approached too. Waiting his turn to speak in a loud voice which seem to brim with confidence and proudness “ Dante Hyuga, eldest son of the Hyuga clan.” Without taking a second breath or leaving room for anybody else to talk, in the same tone of voice “I will become the head of my Clan, I will protect it’s pride and I WILL destroy anybody who attempts to bring shame.” Not a single emotion took to Dante’s face as he spoke, glancing both ways to make sure he got a good look at both of the Genin before the female had time to cover her face. He stood perfectly still, turning his head back towards the male in front of him, looking up as to listen to anything else he had to say.-



Expo: Takuza watched as everyone gathered around and began introducing themselves. He listened carefully to Yasu as she introduced herself first. He was already very well acquainted with the Hatake family, sadly enough they were not that high in the ranks to even be recognized completely making their clan kind of different from the others. Her words caught his interest as she seemed calm and collected as always. The next Genin being Akira introduced himself and stated he wanted to be the best Suiton user in Konoha. Takuza himself though it was a fine goal as with enough dedication it was possible. As for the student in which Takuza appeared in front of, he mentioned his name was Dante Hyuga. A brief moment of silence happened before Takuza began speaking he was interrupted and not allowed to speak. His eyes darted back to Dante as he explained his goals, he wanted to be the head of the Hyuuga clan and that he would destroy anyone who would attempt to bring shame to his clan. Takuza sighed as he already had his opinions on the students he was tasked with teaching. Yasu was basically the loner shinobi who barely spoke to others or cared for others. Akira was the one who was self-infatuated with his own goal of becoming a prodigy at water release. Last but not least Dante the one who was extremely serious all the time. Takuza smiled a bit as the crowd was interesting, but it was clear that they were not the bunch to work together. Takuza then scoffed at himself as he finally got the chance to speak “Well it is a pleasure to meet you Yasu, Akira, and Dante as from today on you guys will be a part of Team Takuza or better yet known as Team 3. He smiled in excitement as he was happy to have a chance and teach these set of students. He then scratched at the back of his head as he decided to give a little bit of more information of himself “Since you know my name already and it’s obvious what my rank is I will skip those things as it would be useless to mention them at this point. By the end of our training and by the time you guys reach Jounin yourself I hope to make you 3 fine shinobis for the future. I personally have high hopes for you all.” He said with confidence in his team, he wanted them to know that he believe in them. His hair then fluttered as the wind passed by, his calmness never strayed as he then waited patiently for their reactions to what Takuza had said.



<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: Akira never had much of a reaction as he watched the Jounin speak and introduce himself. All of these common pleasantries weren’t exactly his thing when he was in a serious mood. Then again, he thought, maybe I should relax a little seeing as I’ll spend a lot of time with these… people. He let out a sigh and turned his head to the girl’s voice. –Finally, someone I can relate to.- He seemed to lighten up a little as he nodded to her question, agreeing with it being asked, and turned his questioning bright eyes back to their Sensei. “Yes. Standing still won’t help us improve right, Smoothy-sensei?”. Akira chuckled at the nickname given because of the Uchiha’s smooth features that were almost feminine in beauty. But then quickly snapped back to looking serious and ready to go out on whatever quest would be set before them. Maybe then he could finally get back to his scroll.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: The onyx eyes shifted to the Hyuga, her brows furrowing. In her eyes the boy didn’t understand death, what it actually meant. Yasu thought of him as a brat at this point, and she knew in time they would buttheads. The eyes shifted to the other boy, his goals were obtainable but very vain. He seemed more easy going, which was a relief to Yasu, hopefully they’d...’get along’  Though…her sensei couldn’t be more wrong about how Yasu was. Sure Yasu had been a loner type, and she didn’t really like speaking unless it was on a important subject…but the reality is that she cared to much. Yasu came off as closed off, mainly because she didn’t want friendships. She didn’t want that burden, so she pushed everyone away. After how her father leaving affected her, she didn’t think she could handle another loss. When she was younger she was a happy child, loved her family, but then the world reared its ugly head and knocked the girl down a few pegs. Yasu swallowed hard as she spoke, “Sensei. What are we training on today?” she questioned, her voice quiet. The small pale hands slid into her pockets as she continued to stare at him with a dull expression. Now was the time she would decide how she truly felt about her Sensei, she expected a serious task. Not something childish like going to find a missing pet.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Expo: Takuza sighed to the words his students seemed to be using, it had seemed since they had just met and realized Takuza was going to be their Sensei that they wanted to train right then and there. Though the most obvious ones asking for this factor were Akira and Yasu. As for Dante he had to leave due to some urgent meeting, it was now down to Yasu, Akira, and Takuza to continue. A sigh leaving Takuza’s lips as he muttered “Kids and wanting to learn.” He then heard Akira call him Smoothy-Sensei which caught him by surprise. Takuza wasn’t an idiot and can see why he was called that. He didn’t even bother to address it as it was a normal thing for children to make ridiculous nick names for others. He then addressed the words Yasu said with “finding someone’s missing pet would be considered a D rank mission maybe a C rank at most depending the pet. So there will be mission you three will need to perform such as this one. Missions are missions after all, as for your statement Akira.” He paused for a second taking a deep breath before continuing “We will train but without Dante the first exercise cannot be done.” He said this calmly as the first exercise was more appointed to making them all work as a team. So instead he decided to do something completely different, he then began walking away from both children reaching about 20 feet in distance from them. He then stood across from them and placed his hands into his pockets as he opened his eyes the moment he arrived and looked over towards Yasu and Akira. His voice extended and said “Our first exercise is to work on hand to hand combat otherwise known as Taijutsu.” He kept his calm and cool as the breeze continued to pass over his shoulder and make his pony tail flutter. He then added “So you two will be working together and will attempt to land a solid blow on me, I personally want to see how well acquainted you guys are with this fighting style. Here is the catch, you both must land a successful blow on me. If not the person who does not will be tasked with perform a D rank mission I have in mind for them. In other words both of you will work together on the D rank mission if you both don’t successfully land a hit on me. When I mean a hit I mean a solid blow one that can possibly give me a small bruise.” He said this to make the things more specific as this was to see if they can actually follow directions specifically.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Yasu offered a short chortle at Akira’s comment, her head shaking. Her demeanor changed once her sensei mentioned the C & D ranked missions, all she would do is offer a sharp glare at him followed by a heavy sigh. With the other genin leaving, the training exercise would be changed slightly. ‘Working together? As if.’ She rolled her eyes as she looked to Akira, wondering what he had thought about the situation. Her eyes narrowed before giving him a nod. If he was to keep up, they would finish training easily. Simply put, Yasu would be the distraction and Akria was to follow up. Yasu began sprinting towards Takuza, as she closed in she’d push her body weight back so she slid between his legs, with a twist of her upper torso she’d stop her body from sliding with her hands and use them to shove her feet upwards in attempts to kick him in his lower back. Now if Akira made his move hopefully they’d both be able to land a blow on their Sensei. If the attack didn’t work Yasu would push her body into the air and flip so that she’d land on her feet. From there she stood in a fighting stance, a serious expression on her face.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Expo: Takuza simply remained in place, his hands never leaved his pockets as Yasu immediately took off and dashed towards him. Akira seemed to be caught off guard for the moment as he hadn’t reacted right after Yasu. She had ran and had attempted to slide between Takuza’s legs attempting to get behind him. Takuza personally didn’t bother turning during the events that were transpiring with her as he also needed to keep an eye on Akira. His black eyes simply kept him in sight and watched him weave the Tiger hand seal. Takuza was well acquainted and was surprise the young individual even knew jutsus that weren’t from the academy. From that three water clone sprouted out from the body of water in which was close to him. Takuza was impressed that a Genin was able to use an elemental cloning jutsu. At that exact moment one of the clones dashed forward to attempt and attack Takuza during the time Yasu had attempted to kick his lower back. Due to their attacks being at different times it would allow Takuza just enough time to respond to Yasu’s attack first and quickly follow up with a response to Akira’s clone. The moment Yasu would attempt to kick Takuza on his lower back, Takuza easily pivoted his stance and face his left side moving his entire back out of the way to keep him completely out of harm. This was easily done without watching her as she was sliding through and stopped at a certain point. The sound of the ground beings touched would end as Yasu stopped so it only took Takuza simply hearing to configure where she was located and what her next attack would be. Takuza basically used his hearing to identify what Yasu was doing behind him. Though he wasn’t sure what attack she performed his pivot happened and proceeded with a quick hop towards that direction to avoid any other attack would follow up behind the kick she performed As Takuza wasn’t even aware of her attack or what exactly she did. He only responded by pivoting his stance and leaping in the direction he pivoted in, the distance being about 3-4 feet. Then the clone would appear in front of Takuza and would attempt to smash his knee into Takuza’s chest. The kick came quick, but due to Takuza’s trained eyes he was able to see it before it actually touched him. Takuza then easily responded with pulling his hands out of his pockets and grabbing the boy’s knee with his left hand easily stopping him in midair. This being a water clone Takuza would not hesitate to take it down as it was futile to use it against him. He then extended his right hand and swung it forward attempting to punch the water clone directly in the face, this easily causing it to splash into a puddle of water. Takuza would then follow up and decided to keep the kids on their feet as he quickly weaved a single hand seal being Ram. This happening so swiftly that not even they would be able to notice he had performed a hand seal as his back would be turned to Yasu and possibly even the real Akira. The clone might have been able to catch a small glimpse, but by the time they did Takuza would be completely gone. This was thanks to his body flicker technique being enabled revealing exactly how fast Takuza was able to travel. Of course this was thanks to a jutsu but his proficiency in it was beyond what most people would think. Him vanishing, would lead to him re-appearing behind the said water clones within an instant as he attempted to swing his right leg in a horizontal fashion. The kick being fast and strong enough to possibly hit them both at the same time. If this kick was successful the clones would both get hit and be sent flying towards the body of water as they would re-assimilate to their original nature turning into a puddle of water and joining it body of water entirely. Takuza then stood silently and watched the kids carefully as he kept his stance calm and collected without showing any signs of complexion in his movements. It was almost as if his movements were flawless entirely. Takuza was simply illustrating to the kids that without team work this entire session of them landing a hit on him would be futile as Takuza alone would be to advance for one genin but maybe if both worked together they would be able to successfully pass the exercise.
