[ Afternoon of Konoha – Naruto OST I ]
“That is in my domain…” Yukiso said, using a rare disgruntled tone as he sat upon the windowsill of the Hokage’s office. For once he was not reading a book, but instead had one knee raised upon the sill and his elbow rested upon it gently.
“Yeah! And I would far be better suited for helping with the festival!” Takumi said loudly, crossing his arms as he gave a glance to Kazuki. “Besides… if some thing were to go wrong, I doubt Kakashi-san could handle it enough to protect poor Komoku-chan…”
“HAR-A-SAN!” Miharu roared, demonic eyes rising forth from within as she swiftly rose her arm to take a massive swing at his head. She nailed him dead on, causing his large body to fly towards the wall. However, damage to the poor wall was prevented as Kazuki appeared, holding up a simple open palm to Hara-sensei’s torso. Such a gesture almost seemed to symbolize a wall, since Takumi’s body stopped instantly once he connected with Kazuki’s palm- instantly falling to the floor.
“I don’t think the Hokage would appreciate remodeling.” Saruwatari said, flashing an annoyed glance at both Takumi and Miharu. Miharu seemed to be unphased however, as she marched over to Takumi and placed a firm foot on his head.
“Hara-san… do NOT call me by that name again! I am Kur-o-da Mi-har-u! Besides, the missions are similar but they are not the same!”
A cough was enough to get the four Sensei’s attention once again, to which they glanced up at the 3rd Hokage, who seemed to sweatdrop slightly.
“As much as you like festivals Takumi… I have assigned that to Saruwatari and Kuroda’s teams. And for you Yukiso…” He looked at the slightly agitated Kakashi. “Your domain did consist of that Northern part, however this is a new site we just discovered… and this is just a basic C-ranked mission.” He sweatdropped, “It is geared more towards your students than yourselves. If I were to assign missions to each individual team based on preference all the time… I’d be doing it forever.”
The four sensei remained silent, but Yukiso and Takumi seemed to begrudgingly understand.
“I’ll have to pay a visit myself some time…” Yukiso murmured, as Takumi withdrew a similar sigh.
“Festival… Miharu-san…”
Kuroda flashed a mighty glare at Takumi, who instantly got back up off the floor and brushed himself off.
“Well… to the mission!” He proclaimed, swiftly exploding into a blast of confetti as he disappeared. Kazuki simply sighed and shook his head, calmly walking out with his hands in his pockets. Yukiso seemed to fall out the window, for all he did was lean back and disappear. Kuroda started to walk out as well, before turning about and looking at the Hokage.
“I heard a rumor… that many of the others were thinking of entering their teams into the Chuunin exams. Even the new teams… is that true?”
The Hokage withdrew a sigh, giving a slow nod. “Mm… yes, it seems that many of them believe that their teams are advancing far beyond expectations.”
Kuroda smiles, giving a nod. “Add me to that list as well.”
She then walked out.
Kakashi, Yukiso
[ Team 15 ]
[ Kakashi’s Theme – Naruto OST I ]
Yukiso leaned against a pole, reading a book, “Latin: The Forgotten Language.” Around him two large wagon-looking devices, ready to be pulled by horses. A group of men were loading stuff into the wagons but it looked as if they were about done. Having sent the details of the mission to his students, Yukiso waited for their arrival. It would be about a day’s journey to the docking point which led to the Hidden Village of the Mist. Then they would help them unload the stuff onto the boat… bring it to the festival, and then stay for the remainder of the festival to help make sure things ran smoothly.
In other words, a very boring c-ranked mission in Yukiso’s eyes… when he thought about the enticing and marvelous things he could discover from Takumi & Kazuki-chan’s mission. The idea that he did not obtain it was very gloomy for him.
“Kakashi-sensei!” A happy voice cried out, causing him to turn to see a very smile-faced Ushi running towards him, with Raizen in tow. Raizen seemed a bit agitated, but Yukiso noted that it seemed the Hyuuga boy was getting used to the idea that he was stuck with Ushi. Soon after, Masato appeared as well and the three waited for the wagons to finish their packing.
“We’re going on an adventure Raizen!” Ushi said gleefully, as he seemed to bounce up and down with excitement. Yukiso withdrew a sigh, seeing that all three had brought a backpack for extra clothes and supplies.
“This is a C-ranked mission… so remember to do your best.” Yukiso commented, snapping his book shut as the wagons finally finished their loading. Only two men were staying with the wagons besides them- each one driving a different wagon by directing the horses.
“Well… let’s go.” Yukiso said, as the wagons began to move. Masato asked if they were walking the whole way there, and Kakashi-sai nodded.
“Of course… there isn’t enough room in the wagons for us. So I encourage that as we walk, you make use of your surroundings and practice concentrating on your chakra. Try to either take away the chakra from your legs to make it harder to walk… or try to slowly add more chakra to your legs to make it easier. You’ll either benefit by gaining more chakra control or by growing stronger.”
Yukiso pulled out his book and placed one hand in his pocket as he continued to walk, some how managing to walk perfectly fine without ever glancing up from his book.
Kuroda, Miharu
[ Team 14 ]
[ Tea Country – Naruto OST III ]
Miharu placed her tea set neatly in her bag, checking to make sure that she had packed everything correctly. She even had packed a different kimono in her bag as well… just in case they’d have some time to enjoy the festival. Checking the time, she realized that it was nearly time to leave and this was also announced by a knock on the door. Grabbing her small pack, she opened the door to see all three of them ready to go. It seemed as if they had all arrived together… which was a very good thing in her eyes. Kuroda was confident in the three of them and their teamwork abilities.
Their past few missions… although small and low-ranked, still showed great improvement and promise. The three had their differences but yet they seemed able to put them aside (for the most part) and had a good deal of strategy. This had pleased her greatly, for she deemed it to be the most important aspect of being a Ninja. She only hoped that the strange chemistry between Hige and Kukai would not form a rift between either them eventually, or Haru.
“So… we’re all ready to go?” Miharu asked, to which the three Genin nodded their heads.
She had informed them yesterday of their mission, explaining that it was a C-ranked mission and that they were to head to the Hidden Mist Village. While their job was still basic, it was more important than their past missions and allowed them to work with other villages as well. They were hired to help set up for their annual festival and then were allowed to participate, as long as they helped settle the peace in case anything should happen.
“Then let us travel… we might run into Team 15, but while their mission is similar it is slightly different.” Miharu said absently, as she began to walk down the path that exited the village. The three followed as Kuroda started to hum to herself, believing that the mission they were to encounter would be a pleasant one.
Hara, Takumi
[ Team 13 ]
[ It’s My Job – Naruto the Movie OST ]
“Arrrgh…!” Takumi said gruffly, standing on top of the bench with a big bright “two” painted upon it. Onitoge, Inakamo and Chiyoko were both standing and staring up at their sensei who seemed to be bothered at the moment.
“To think… THIS mission! Of all missions!” He continued, a sense of a rainy cloud appearing above his head.
“Umm… but Hara-sensei, this mission seems like it’ll be fun!” Chiyoko commented, to which Inakamo nodded.
“It is a higher rank! That means we’re getting better!”
Takumi looked at the two and narrowed his eyes for a moment, before his expression loosened and he smiled for a moment with a sigh. “Yes… you’re right. This will be your first C-ranked mission and that is some thing important. Even if we are teaming up with Saruwatari’s team…” He stated. “… and no festival or Miharu… ahhh… my little Komoku-chan..”
“… excuse me Sensei.” Onitoge said, “But did you say we’re teaming up with Saruwatari’s team?”
Takumi nodded, “In order to get more accomplish and increase our chance of finding artifacts and things of that nature… the employer wanted two teams.”
The three Genin sweatdropped, all three imagining Saruwatari-sensei and his first impression back at the academy.
“He-he… can’t be that bad, right?” Chiyoko said, smiling weakly.
“He sure scared me.” Inakamo said, narrowing his eyes as Onitoge remained silent. Team 13 waited however, until Saruwatari appeared walking down the path, his three Genin following behind him.
Saruwatari, Kazuki
[ Team 12 ]
[ Sasuke’s Theme – Naruto OST II ]
“So, it appears we begin.” Saruwatari said plainly, as he reached Hara-sensei and his three Genin. Hiro seemed to cross his arms, slightly disgruntled as Selekis’s face brightened at seeing Chiyoko. Shiro just seemed confident, standing with a cool manner.
“You never said we were joining with them…” Hiro stated, seeing Team 13 before them.
“One detail not worth mentioning, since you’d find out soon enough.” Kazuki replied calmly.
“Saruwatari… shall we go?” Hara-sai said with a grin, looking to his three Genin. He pondered if the true challenge was to tolerate Saruwatari and his team, rather than to find artifacts. He silently told himself that if they did survive Kazuki’s wrath… that his team truly was one to marvel at. He already respected the Genin of Kazuki already.
Kazuki simply gave a nod to this, and the two Sensei and their team headed out of the village towards the North.
At first it seemed as if the two teams would be divided some what- Team 13 following behind Hara as team 12 followed being Kazuki. Chiyoko was the first to break this trend however, as she went over to Hiro.
“So, did it work?” She asked cheerfully, as Hiro gave a nod and smiled.
“yeah… Shikumaru came by this morning.”
Hiro had been distraught a few days ago when he was denied his first mission by his sensei. Chiyoko had felt bad for him- knowing it had to be tough raising a sister and trying to be a Ninja. However, she had come up with an idea that Hiro find a babysitter by making it a mission. Since it was rather basic, it wouldn’t cost too much… and with her last pay, Chiyoko even managed to chip in to help Hiro out. Ironically enough and through Hara-sensei, Chiyoko found out that it was Shikumaru’s team that received the mission.
Giggling, Chiyoko nodded. “I bet he’ll make a wonderful babysitter.” Hiro grinned and laughed at the idea of it too.
Noticing Selekis however, Chiyoko swiftly opened up her bag and held out a neatly decorated box before him. It was tied to make a slight basket with a piece of blue cloth, looking like a perfect lunch. “I’m sorry I didn’t leave it out on the porch today…” Chiyoko added, tilting her head to the side. “But I did bring you lunch like I promised!” She added, to which Hiro gave Selekis an odd look but Selekis seemed to ignore it and he took the lunch.
That day they had met on the bridge- it was a few days ago, Chiyoko had found out that Selekis hardly ate. While gathering herbs it was easy to see that he was too thin to be healthy… to which she informed him that he couldn’t be a great Ninja without a proper diet. Selekis had refused to really eat anything, but Chiyoko had insisted.
“I’m going to make lunch for you every day and leave it on the porch for you to pick up! If you don’t eat it or pick it up… then it’ll just go to waste! You wouldn’t want that, would you?” Chiyoko had said, grinning. “Besides… I promise it’ll taste great!”
The two teams continued to walk, however Chiyoko and rejoined with Inakamo and Onitoge a bit- feeling Saruwatari’s invisible eyes behind his head upon her. However, all the while they walked… it seemed Hara-sai continued to make idle chat with Kazuki, mostly to annoy the Taijutsu master than anything.
Ending Theme
[ALIVE – Raiko]
Alright… to help organize things, the missions go like this:
Mission 1: Team 14 [ Hige, Kukai & Haru ]
Mission 2: Team 15 [ Masato, Ushi, 7 Raizen ]
Mission 3: Team 13 [ Onitoge, Inakamo, & Chiyoko ]
Mission 4: Team 14 [ Hiro, Shiro & Selekis ]
Mission 1 & 2 are teamed up, and Mission 3 & 4 are teamed up.
Here is the synopsis of what each mission will turn out to be like:
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Mission 1 & Mission 2:
Both start of as basic C-rated missions. Both teams on the mission are hired on similar missions involving the Hidden Mist Village. The village is having a festival and Team 14 is hired to help keep rowdy people in check at the festival and are helping with pre-set up. Team 15 is aiding a shipment going from Konoha to the Hidden Mist village, that has supplies for the festival.
However… just as Team 15 reaches the port that leads to the Hidden Mist Village, suddenly they hear a screaming woman. She is sobbing, informing them that a group of Ninja were helping her village with harvesting duties, when suddenly a group of other Ninja attacked. There were five of them, and they captured the group and killed the sensei and one other of the Genin. They’re threatening to kill the other two Genin unless the village gives all their money to the group.
The only thing is… these Ninja are Konoha Ninja- Team 2’s Genin.
Yukiso quickly informs one of the Genin in his group to go find Team 14 and tell them to aid them at Gyra Village (where this even is taking place).
They now must get together and rescue the other two Genin from the 5 Nin group… before they too die.
(Gyra Village is a nearby village that is right before the Hidden Mist Village. Your first posts (for both teams) will consist on traveling for that day. Those in Team 15 can post about meeting the screaming woman, and once you reach that part then I’ll post the next course of action. Team 14 can post the day’s journey… and when I post for Team 15’s continuation, I’ll then post to help lead you into your next action as well. )
Mission 3 & Mission 4:
There are apparently ‘ruins’ there which may hold some valuable historical information- although what it might hold is not revealed to the Genin. The teams are joined together, due to the fact that then finding rare artifacts and information at the site would be faster. The two teams reach the forested area that seems to harbor strange stones and ruins and start to investigate and collect things of old nature. (Coins, strange instruments… rocks… )
The two sensei suddenly find an artifact that seems to make both of them grow seriously worried, and they inform their Genin to keep looking for more artifacts. The two then leave swiftly to Konoha, leaving their Genin to the seemingly harmless dig.
However… suddenly a group of mysterious Ninja appear. It seems to almost be a team in itself… having an older looking Ninja in the head of the group, with four other Genin-looking ninja with him. They immediately claim that this dig site is theirs and for the other six to get lost. However… they soon decide that the group probably found too much information already and have to be killed. <hee… WHAT INFO?! Lol >
It is up to the six young Genin to take on the four Genin… and one Jounin-level Ninja… in hopes that the sensei will return before it is too late.
(Here, both teams can post about the travel and about looking for artifacts and such. You can post up to the point where the Sensei find some thing. I then will post them leaving and the intro of the other Ninja to help you move along. )
!*!*!*!*!*!
When it comes to battling time, I’ll give you more info on how to approach battles although it mainly is up to you. I’ll be making quick, make-shift bios on the Ninja both teams will be fighting to help you with your posts as well. ^_^ But that will come next time I post. ^_^;
