"Most likely we'll need to wait for the captain. I'm not sure when he or she is going to arrive. We could train together while we wait. In fact, I was about to do my daily regimen when you caught up with me. Would you like to train with me? I don't think we trained together since we graduated from the academy," he says, extending her an invite to train with him as both wait for the Chunnin captain to arrive.

"Also, why are you calling me Tree Boy? Do I look like a tree?" He asks, clueless.

Tsubaki entered through another set of doors that led to the lobby and receiption area; she had been chatting with a fellow officer as she stopped at the receptionist and a few whispers were exchanged. She looked over to the two younger genin standing idly before she turned back to the desk and was handed several documents before her attention adverted to the pair. ”Mori And Shizuo?” she asked them. It was more so to confirm whether she was addressing the correct pair before they got down to business. ”I’m Tsubaki, your Chunin Captain for this mission,” she introduced herself. Her voice was soft and she looked innocent enough where one would believe she could harm anything however her clothing stated another story. It was best to not underestimate their fair leader. She didn’t look too much older than them but her ranking was a given that she was stronger than the two.

"Nice to meet you, Tsubaki-senpai. I'm Shizuo, and my friend here is Takara-chan," he says as he turns to where Tsubaki's voice is coming from, offering her a polite nod. "We're ready for the mission."

"Looks like we'll have to train together later, Takara-chan," he speaks as they had no time to train toegther considering that Tsubaki arrived. With that said, Shizuo starts to pay attention to his Captain, wondering if she has any instructions or if they're going in their journey immediately.

Mori nodded at the chunin and then individually Shizuo to agree on the last practice. She briefly studied the chunin with her one eye, even moving her feet to face her right side to the chunin before smiling and saying, "Yes I'm Mori. I can't wait to work with you." She was standing up striaghter, hands on her hips as she seemed to puff up a bit like a bird. "I'm sure me and Tree-chan won't let you down." Curious crossed over her face, gesturing to her pack she said. "I have the papers for the mission. Do you know when you want us to leave?"

Mori looked respectful, rather leaving judgement until after her talents could be seen. After all chunins don't just become chunins all willy-nilly.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

She merely nodded her head to their polite greetings and introductions. ”Sunagakure is under attack and we’re escorting refugees through sandstorms,” she stated. ”With that said, are the both of you prepared for the weather and it’s conditions? And do you have everything you need in case we encounter hostile within the area?” she questioned further. She didn’t want to send them unprepared for their first real mission. It would be a shame if she lost the both of them for carelessness. If you have everything you need, then we can leave right away. If not, I’ll give you time to go retrieve appropriate clothing and other various supplies. I suggest some camping gear. We’ll be traveling quite far and back,” she suggested further.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

"I will get my things ready and meet you soon," he says. Shizuo already carries his weapon, two kodachis that, when sheated, can work as a longstaff. Shizuo values versatility and that's the reason behind his weapon's design. He also carries bags on his waist to carry shuriken and a kunai, but indeed he needs to get himself supplies and camping gear for the long journey.

He leaves Tsubaki and Takara for a moment in order to grab the necessary supplies and camping tent. "See you soon, Tsubaki-senpai, Takara-chan," he speaks as he leaves, thinking about what does he need to make sure he's carrying. He makes sure to get clothes to possibly endure sandstorms and deal with hot temperatures during the day and cold during the night. A canteen of water and food is also important, unless they're ready to hunt for food.

As he finishes to get his things, Shizuo wears his bag and returns to meet Tsubaki and Takara.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Mori nodded, though she already had most of her equipment packed but bracing for sandstorms was something she didn't account for. Then again, not really knowing the full scope of their mission, she couldn't have packed everything that she needed. Making a note for packing some camping gear and sandstorm ready clothes, muttering to herself for a second she looked at the chunin.

"Should we meet at the gate or come back here? I realized I need some better cloths,"
She said briefly gesturing to her bare calves near her shoes and the rest of her arms not covered. She made a side note to get something for her face. After hearing her answer, she nodded again, waving before racing back to the compound. Gathering everything with Mrs. Goto trying to help and looking kind of concerned, it didn't take too long at all before going back to the said meeting place to go off.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

She smiled at them warmly as she took the papers from them and stashed them away in her satchel. ”Meet me at the gates. Ensure you have everything as it’ll be awhile before we return here to Konoha,” she instructed. With that said, the two took off as quickly as they could. Their eagerness was fascinating. It was only an escort mission but as she went through their bingo books, neither one of them had much mission experience since graduation and since the war had started. It was a cause of concern as neither had been doing much but idle around town for the most part. While volunteer work was encouraged, anything towards the war and its efforts was more noted than helping locals around.

With a shake of her head, she put the bingo books away and she vanished. She had all the gear she needed sealed within scrolls for a later use. She had been the first to the main gate out of Konoha. She had waited patiently for the return of her new potential squad. While it was only temporary, trying and testing genin out was always a must. She knew she needed to evaluate them throughout their escort. She wanted to be sure they weren’t helpless and were skilled based upon their academy sensei’s recommendations.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Standing there, waiting to go on the first mission, she expected dread, maybe even a little fear to finally leave know what was outside, knowing there would be nothing to stop death from coming to her than the other two on the mission and her own will. In stead of anything negative entering her brain, waiting for reality to crash down, but she didn't feel any of that. Energy seemed to course through her veins, feeling oddly alive, very aware but separate.

Just count to ten, breathe and experience, she thought to herself before walking up to Tsubaki. Smiling with her pack and cloths, she knew she might have looked kind of funny. This is the time to show my stuff, and maybe even earn a little trust for once... There was a small sliver of doubt that flashed her mind but it was quickly stomped by an overwhelming sense of I just can't lose.

"Guess we're going to wait a little for Tree-chan."

Shizuo approaches the Main Gate with his things and get closer to Tsubaki and Takara. "I'm here," he speaks as he gets close. Shizuo gives Tsubaki a small box with medicine. He holds one of these with themselves and decided to give Tsubaki one just in case. "Could you carry one of these for me, Tsubaki-senpai? It's just in case I miss mine. it's for me."

Shizuo stretches and checks one last time if everything he needs is there. Then, he turns to Tsubaki and Takara. "Senpai, Takara-chan, I'm ready."

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Yurei woke up like any other day, his grandmother putting him through morning training. Since he had graduated the academy. There seemed to be a delay in team assignments due to the changes and growth by the refugees. Yurei didn't mind this as it gave him time to prepare for it. He wasn't in a rush, it gave him time to help his mother and her store, and to get teased by his father. All of this was normal, so it didn't really get to him.

Yurei was out on errands for his mother. She sent him to the market to pick up stuff she needed for dinner that night. Sora, was Yurei's wolf partner. Sora was a black wolf pup, with unusual white markings. Though most of the Inuzuka wolves were very unique. It seemed as they walked they got into a conversation..

Sora growled lightly, Yurei chuckled "I am not arrogant, I am confident. There is a clear difference." Sora made a series of low noises "Really? You think there is no difference?" Yurei gives the wolf pup a look "Now I think you are taking after my father and teasing me just to do it." Sora made a light laughing sound. Yurei rolls his eyes "See you even admit it." Sora barks "Fine, fine have your fun." Sora nods and makes a few more noises "You made your point." This may look odd to those around him, as Yurei was having a lively discussion with the wolf pup.

They reached the market, and looked at the list. Yurei picked out what was needed, and picked up some meat for Sora. Yurei looks down at Sora "See I am a nice guy." He says and tosses Sora a piece of meat. Sora catches the meat and nods "Lets get this stuff home. But I am gonna take the long way, never know. Might meet someone interesting, or cute." Sora shook her head, and yips "Yeah, yeah. I'll check with the ninja desk later. I am sure there will be an announcement when new team selections will come about."

Tenshi bowed and left the office. He looked at the Genin flanking him "So I am not going to do the three days of hell until after Shinji gets off of his suspension. Also do either of you have family or a place to stay. I can arrange for a small appartment if you don't have family in town. Its where I stay currently." He tells them as they walk "Make no mistake that training will be mentally and physically straining but you will be stronger teammates by the end of it. As it is joint pain and stress. I will share in it as well. As I will also go through the same training. It wouldn't team building if I didn't."

Tenshi looks at the stores as they walked "You know after that mission I am craving some barbecue. Sound good to both of you?" He says with a smile. He wondered what would happen going forward. He knew there was a good chance he would become a training instructor or the like, if they found another Jonin, or one makes it back. Either way he could keep training them.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

So with things set for now, Shinji at least felt the relief of resolution of that previous mission. He had the money from the mission, he had been checked over after that attack he suffered. At best, he was going to be tired, if not fatigued by the time that training starts. Hopefully the ointments would help with that problem, but it likely meant no spar session between him and... her...
She had lied, hadn't she. But they were strangers - but she didn't bring it up, or apologize. It's in the past - and what if it continues?

Shinji almost missed what was said from his own thoughts, an apartment? Wait, where even was his family? Shinji hadn't had a chance to look into that, if there was anything left to look into anymore...
Remembering the offer, Shinji ultimately rejected the idea. It was a nice thing, but he didn't deserve it, plus a complete home was too different to the empty desert he was accustomed to. The abandoned building would do, it was empty enough.

About that barbecue, Shinji wondered if that was meant to be a joke at his expense. But that required people noticing him, which Shinji wasn't arrogant enough to assume so.
In case he did however, he decided it would be better to go the polite route.

"I have a place, it'll do. Thank you though. I could go for that, I just need to-" send his clones? To which there was an audible clap as Shinji brought his hand into his face. He didn't know by heart what was within that mile of his residence for supplies, both martial and mundane, but it was his problem, not theirs. "... Um, deal with some stuff later."
A nervous laugh left Shinji as he hoped the situation played like a joke, and prayed he would be ignored when it helped him for once.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Nakano didn't quite get the point of the suspension but was quite happy of not being it's recipient. On the bright side, it afforded them some respite after the mission, in her case she already knew how she would manage it. Finding herself a place of her own was top of the list, but then again barbecue sounded like a great start too. "B-barbecue sounds good." Nothing like stuffing themselves and relaxing a little after risking their hides out there.

"No family, I am not from here. B-but got a place to stay." Kyoko half lied, she was as homeless as they came since arriving to Konoha but with the anticipated A rank mission wealth, Nakano was expecting to get a roof without much trouble. "T-thanks." She added. Besides the projected training with Tenshi and Shinji, Kyoko had some plans of her own and figured that the three days would also offer her the opportunity to plan and organize how to invest her time until the next mission.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Tenshi smiled as they walked into the barbecue diner. He sits on one side of the table. Kyo and Senji sit on the opposite side. He stops one of the waitress's "A full spread of meats, probably should make it a double order." A few minutes later the waitress sets down a tray of assorted meats and veggies. Tenshi places chicken and beef on the table's barbecue pit. he adds some carrots and mushrooms next to it. Then spreads some garlic across each strip of the meat "Those three days of training coming up. Won't be as hellish as I made them out to be. I never got to train either of you. So those three days will focus on your weaknesses. It still will be rough. But not hell. Unless you want to push as much training into that space of time as we can?"

Tenshi took the meat and veggies off the barbecue and onto his plate "Right now, why don't we formally get to know one another, and I would like to know what you feel you are strongest at, and what you are weakest at. As well I would like to know physically what you think you need to work on. This will help me setup a training regimen not only for those three days, but going forward into the future. If I don't continue on as a team leader. I will likely help all of the teams with training regiments, and training. Only time will tell." Tenshi says with a smile. He would be happy either way..

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

There was a shrug from Shinji as he had issues with how to express himself, if he went all out, then they would likely find him annoying, but if he gave nothing, well people don't like being denied things from their inferiors. So as the noise level of their chosen dining place shifted back and forth, he decided to give the small smattering that should sate curiosity. "There isn't exactly much to know about me. Shinji Sato from Sunagakure, like you know from before  Merchant parents, six Jounin siblings. So there is a lot to live up to." Which was quite the understatement, considering the prestige they had before Shinji left for the desert. He ignored the fact that one was a special Jounin, it all amounted to greatness over him in any case.

Shinji took an allotment of food, a little on the small side, as it didn't seem right for him to be full right now. It would give him something to chew on in the silence and permit him a reason for not chatting. After a small bite, he started on the request of his squad leader.
"I may as well warn you, Akiyama-sama, there isn't enough time in the world for the weaknesses I have. So for the sake of simplicity, some notable ones would be a lack of sensory Jutsu, chakra allocation with clones, a need for universal versatility and the fighting coordination of a rock."
Shinji made another laugh at himself, people laugh and make jokes to be social right? At least at his expense, no one could have the potential to be offended.
" I think I have something for the sensory and clone chakra issues, so maybe training for Taijutsu would help."

Shinji needed to deflect from the negativity before he made a quagmire that he would despise remaining in, his strengths would do, if he could actually think of any.
"As for my Strengths? I already said about those, at least my all right genjutsu, shuriken throwing and a bit of wind nature. Not much else really, anyone can use genjutsu decently or throw objects with or without chakra. You can see my storage of tools is extensive, I'll spend some time getting scrolls sorted and seals learned to expand my options without losing mobility." Which Shinji showed by undoing a button and allowing a glance at his bandoliers and numerous pouches underneath. "As nice as decent fundamentals are, everyone can do that, it's fundamentals."
It was at this point that Shinji found a large piece of vegetable to chew on to save him the mercy of spilling more.

Shinji would be sure to remember those words from his brother so long ago in training.
Someone who truly understands the depths of academy fundamentals, grows the seed of ingenuity and gain a set of versatile tools for their problems.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

The food looked delicious and as soon as Kyoko put some beef on, it smelled just as much too. Listening to Shinji, it seemed as if he didn't have much going on for him, save for his clones perhaps. Then again, they were mere genin, not exactly the most skilled and distinguished of shinobi, yet. Looking back at their mission however, she couldn't help but feel that they were far more competent than folks around seemed to give them credit for. Surely Shinji wasn't as devoid of talent as he portrayed himself as, or at the very least he was capable to getting the most of what little he said he knew.

"I... I am not from Konoha as it may be obvious, come from the land of earth instead and... Well, I don't really like it here or the people here, much. Not just the locals but the others who came here, t-they don't like me either." She began the introduction with, there was more to come though. "I don't trust the leadership, I think they are doing idiotic and sometimes ill intentioned things, like that last mission of ours or this wall business." Had she just dug her own grave? Would they rat her out? She hadn't confessed to any of the worst though and this way she got to know where they stood, rather than second guessing her move, Nakano tried to close the introduction with something more befitting the thing. "Oh." She became one shade redder. "Er... I like ice-cream, reading... Stuff. Also like cats and meat."

Swiftly moving the conversation to other matters than the personal, Kyoko began to explain. "I am good at sneaking about and striking unsuspecting targets, you know finishing the fight before they even realize they have one in their hands... Stacking the odds and all that. I don't like head on straight fights, they are stupid, words like fair don't belong in this line of work. O-or that's what I think anyway, I mean, we shinobi are trained to among other things kill each other, right?" Yet again swiftly changing the topic from what she thought had become somewhat bleak, she continued. "I know the fundamentals too, since I graduated. I prefer to incapacitate targets at long range before eliminating them or just engaging them up close, my taijutsu is pretty ok if I say so myself."

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Tenshi listened to both of them as he sat there. He ate some meat as he thought about everything they said. Some of it was surprising. Tenshi after they spoke up had them backwards. He thought Shinji was the confident one. When in fact he was the one lacking confidence, and Kyoko had confidence she just didn't show it in the usual way. All three of them were refugees and have had everything taken from them. Tenshi could relate to many of their doubts, to many of their hesitations. Even he had his hesitations..

Tenshi looked at Shinji "Weakness? Your only weakness is yourself. You have all the potential in the world. But now I see the difference in each clone, and what that meant. They each represent an emotion you have suppressed. The emotional, the passionate, the angry, the scared. I didn't realize it until you talked like you were the worst ninja, and there was no making you better." His ice blue eyes stared at the boy "You never asked me why I became a ninja. It wasn't by choice. I wasn't given the option to say no to the Raikage." He takes a breath "When I was little I was betrayed by my best friend. She turned out to be part of a faction that didn't care for the Raikage at the time. It hurt, and it revealed my sensory ability. So I was forced into being a ninja. But in the end. I am glad I became one. I push myself everyday, I am creating jutsu in unique ways, and I fight for what I want." He places some chicken on the grill "Anyways, my point is. Life is tough, if you let whats tough beat you. Then you will not live up to their standards, and no matter your accomplishments they will never feel like they will be enough." The chicken finished and Tenshi eats it. Then he continues "So my point is simple.. Stop caring about what others think. Be yourself, see yourself, listen to yourself, and fight for yourself. Also your clones will be a big part of the three days of training. I will teach you how to use them to better yourself. Not many have clones that act on their own to the degree that yours do, Shinji. I will go over that when we do the training."

His eyes shifted to Kyoko "You surprise me. Many have those fears. But right now you can't let them alter your perspective. Or your goals all align. Right now we have to defeat the snow, and rescue the Kage, or there won't be a world. Or at least a world we would want to live in. So you can have those thoughts.. But keep them to yourself for the most part." He drinks some water "You actually have an inner confidence. Instead of speaking softly. Speak firmly, and with confidence. However your tactics have many flaws.. I will go over those and show you ways of shoring up those flaws." Tenshi looks back at the two genin with a smile "The three days of training will be useful for all of us." Tenshi loosens up a bit "If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask."

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Taking the chance to eat some of the meat (actually quite good) and listen to what they both had to say, Shinji mulled over it. From the sound of it, it seemed like they all had difficulties with this change in the world, one way or another. To think so much effort was made to attempt true peace, a peace they had the benefit of living in. Yet the Snow took that all away in moments, those who were left behind had a big burden put on them. From such separate places and mindsets, could they really make it work?

Kyoko seemed more open to speak compared to what occasions he had with her, was she really all right being that open with them? Or had she done the same as him and only gave a small detail? It wasn't like she hadn't already lied he reminded himself, what else might she lie about?
The story that Akiyama gave confirmed what suspicions the genin had, Akiyama did indeed have a kekki genkai. Which made the seeming impossible calligraphy make sense.
Then there was the things he said, could he really mean any of it? Positive words on potential? Shinji hoped so, but it was not likely.

But now that Akiyama had told them it was OK himself by answering a likely question, the flood gates in Shinji's mind started opening up to ask questions of his own.
"I appreciate the considerate way you are making this training Akiyama-Sama. There is more to the clones then just emotion, but specifics are better for later..." Shinji hoped that the meaning was picked up on. That where others could hear it felt too much. "I also want to say my apologies for not asking, I didn't know you would permit us the chance to ask. I do have a few things to ask, if you permit so."
He had just said so, but Shinji had previously had others who were more, cutting on missteps and set him up to trip and then criticise it all.

"Akiyama-Sama, is there anything different fundamentally between the storage of objects and people? Plus, um. In your experience, do you know if space can be expanded, could it also be folded? To make things overlap by occupying the same space. I'm not exactly a fuinjutsu expert."

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

"They aren't fears." And keep them to herself she would, she had tested the waters and now she had an idea of where the squad leader stood. Moreover, they just didn't agree much, she wasn't about to change who she was to fit some arbitrary mold and Nakano simply didn't agree with his assessment, how could he make such a bold claim when they had barely fought together? She would even argue that in facing an enemy who neutralized most of her options, a natural enemy of sorts, she had performed rather well. The way Kyoko saw it, she had not only managed to put up some fight but came out relatively uninjured compared to the rest, that in a type of fight that went the opposite way of where her strengths laid and against an enemy naturally adept at fighting her.

After munching on some of the meat, Kyoko spoke again. "S-shouldn't you actually test what are we capable of in each field before designing some long training course?" She inquired, not really making any eye contact, an honest non malicious question, or that was what the tone and soft voice conveyed. "Or is... Is it the training not that much of a training exercise but rather a test to assess those things?"

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Tenshi looked up as Shinji posed his question "Well there is a fundamental difference between storing items, and storing people." He ponders how to explain it without making it sound overly complex or going into the formulae "I'll use the scrolls that are used to summon weapons and store items. They are stored in the jutsu formula. It really complex to go into. But the space you are creating is rather simple and doesn't need the fundamentals. Such as air. A person can survive in a large scroll for maybe ten minutes before the air that was captured when they were sealed runs out." Tenshi pauses to take a drink of water before continuing "This however is also the strength of the storing scrolls. Is if you seal food or bodies correctly. They will stay in a preserved state. Keeping them fresh so to speak. Same with weapons. With no environmental factors they don't rust, lose sharpness, or any such effects."

Tenshi continues "As far as your question about folding and expanding space-time. It can be folded in any way you can think of. The space I created was not just something I came up with. It took many months of researching how to create the dimension. How to have a continuous airflow. Allowing moonlight, and sunlight to light up the space. In a way I am folding the idea of the moon and sun into my dimension." He takes a breath "That space is just the beginning of what it will eventually become."

He stretches, and listens to Kyoko. Tenshi realized by Kyoko's tone, that something had been lost among all the talk "I didn't mean to downplay either of you, as far as your performance on our previous mission. You both did great, and I don't expect either of you to agree or disagree with how things are currently. The overarching goal is to repair our world after our enemy is dealt with." Tenshi nods at Kyoko's question about training "The mission and talking with both of you gave me a general idea of your skills, and what needs to be looked at. The first day will be a general assessment of both your physical and mental aptitudes. That may sound easy, but it's far from the truth." Tenshi finishes the last piece of meat he had prepared "So we have three days before Shinji's suspension is lifted. Kyoko, this can either be free time or we can spend the time training. That's up to you." He looks at both of them "Any other questions or concerns before we call it a day?"

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

There was a lot Shinji had been told from asking those few questions. The possibilities that space-time jutsu had, and the complicated equations needed to add features like air and allow sources of light in.
"So in one manner of speaking, I need to deal with the air prerequisite for long term storage, one way or another. Thank you Akiyama-sensei, your knowledge has been invaluable for my likely dip into sealing and space-time jutsu. Plus some other things to think on, however that goes." One thing Akiyama had said before, on folding the idea of sun and moon, it seemed rather familiar to Shinji. Was it tied to Yin release and creating a version of sun and moon? Or was it a rotating slot of sky or two folded to be at the appropriate edge of his personal space? Just as likely the latter and Shinji was overthinking the inclusion of the word "idea".

On the matter of training and assessing, Shinji was likely too bound up in the three day restrictions to partake, some out there are too eager for him to make a misstep. Shinji wouldn't feed their ego if he could help it. "If you both start early, I'll have to find something to do with myself, I'm kinda jealous, but these things happen.
With a sigh, Shinji took a sip of water before he carried on, taking in the situation, it did seem actually social in a way. If it kept being like this, maybe this squad would be different from those before? Time would tell, the genin thought to himself. "In any case, I'm glad to hear something good from the last few days. Not the best status, but not the worst at least. It means I need to be much better in time for when the exams happen." Whenever those would happen in this system, Shinji pondered to himself.

Maybe it would be a stretch too far, but Shinji wanted to ask another question, there could always be time for questions on his future jutsu ideas later. "But before we go, could we get a hint on that training, or even the assessment? Or is that too much like cheating?"

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

"I am not starting early." Kyoko reassured Shinji. "I for one, c-could use some rest, that ban you got is as stupid as it is convenient." The idea of going into formal training right after such a mission didn't even register for Kyoko, she wanted to rest some and also had things to arrange, like getting herself a place to live at and similar basic needs. "There is one more thing, you didn't introduce yourself." Nakano pointed out. After how things had gone in the past, it was slowly becoming a pet peeve of hers, if people refused to get acquainted in the most basic of fashions, it could be spelling trouble as she had found out. Telling a fake name or similar things were all parcel to being what they were, plainly refuse to show the most basic form of civility hinted a more sinister problem up in their coconut, as she had learned the hard way.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Well that subject came out of no where. The only reason to bring that up is likely to deflect from something she did, like deceptive naming. Wait, was she reading his mind? No way, she wouldn't be that capable without hand seals... Unless she was hiding her own kekki genkai...
"Wait, no, I did just now. Ooohh, you mean - you might be right. I guess we both had a bad few days huh?"

Shinji stopped himself from throwing her bad move in her face. He might be among the worst of shinobi, but even he would not sink to low jabs like some people he once knew long ago. So in that tiny moment wondered what to do and realised the best course of action.
"You know? How about we agree to both be sorry for our missteps and put it behind us? We have bigger fish to fry besides each other anyway."
With that, Shinji had extended a hand to his squad mate, hoping this measure might bridge the gap. As paranoid as he was, he needed someone in his corner, or near it at least.

Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure

Tenshi blinked "Ah, yes. My name is Akiyama Tenshi. Eldest son of Kyomi, the acting head of my clan.. We specialize in Sensory, and Fuinjutsu. If that part wasn't obvious. My ambition is to eventually find my clan, and alter that dimensional space into the clans new village. Since ours was likely destroyed." Tenshi leaned back and rests there for a moment "All that's after we destroy the snow."

He shakes Shinji's hand.

His head turns and looks at Shinji "I agree. With the training let's start with a clean slate. As we were thrown together on a very odd mission.. So take these three days, get settled, and prepare yourself for some intense training." He waves the waitress over and pays for the food.

Tenshi stands "And bring your gear as if you were going on a mission. Because those three days might get interrupted with a mission request." He smiles "If you need me in the next few days." He takes out a piece of paper "I have an apartment here." He hands them each the address "Anything else before we part ways for a few days?"
