tatsuya café.

[Hiroshi]

Hiroshi seemed to have gone past his bed time to find his new team mates. They were to get a new sensei and today would be the first time he'd actually get to meet his team mates. The young Shikigami wondered what kind of people they were. As he rounded the corner of South Squall Street, he'd find himself in front of a well lit cafe on a dark street. He'd look at the people in the front, a few shinobi that seemed to be off duty at the moment and others just wanting to drown themselves in alcohol to ease their weariness. They all seemed to be wearing fancier duds than him but he didn't care.

Looking down, he'd find his usual blue and gray jacket and blue ninja pants. Along side his pants was his satchel filled with various ninja tools for fighting on the field. He did not have his katana with him today, he had no missions so bringing any extra weapons wasn't needed at the moment. It took a second o get him ready to enter. The male would slide the door to the side and wait until the shop keeper allowed him to enter as usual greeting dictated. Inside were a weird crew, especially the male with the odd colored skin and heavy metallic wings.

Hiroshi walked over to the 4 people there and bowed slightly introducing himself to them. "Hello, I guess I'm the last member of the group. My name is Hiroshi Shikigami, a member of the paper clan scattered across the nations. I hope to be of great service to you all." His courteous manner towards them should be welcomed warmly since he wasn't mean at all.

Now he awaited their responses.

[Estilo]

OOC: Posting order.

[/sup] Sozin.
² Hiroshi.
³ Kai.
⁴ Denkou.
⁵ Yukiko.[/ul][/blockquote]
Sozin had taken notice of all their glances, and all of their dialogue, and was more than prepared to answer Kai's first question when he had spoken up. "We are shinobi, and we're expected to follow orders, no matter how suicidal or damaging they might seem at first. That being said, I trust Yukiko will be a considerate and reliable second-in-command, should that ever come to pass. We are a team, after all. If you have an idea that might prove to be beneficial to any task at hand, I expect you to bring it up. I emphasize teamwork, and take your opinions into consideration. I trust Yukiko would, too. As such, insubordination shouldn't be a problem." He smiled genuinely.

He'd nod at Kai's statement about the gathering of Kekkei Touta, before responding to Denkou's next question: "What happens if for some unknown reason, neither you, nor Yuki are around?"

"Should that be the case, I expect you both to use your best judgment-- and work as a synchronized two-man squad. Although very unlikely, if that were to happen during a high-ranked mission, I would expect you both to retreat immediately. However, we can not predict the circumstances of something that hasn't happened yet. Taking this into account, I will personally see to it that you and Kai learn to particularly compliment each other's abilities. You can call it a 'fail-safe'."

Yukiko voiced her concerns next, to which Sozin was all ears. "As for the Jounin exam...I would like to train a bit more on my sensor jutsus that I learned a long time ago. Plus that I have heard that the Jounin exams are quite deadly. Which scares a bit me to be honest."

"They are not to be taken lightly, that much is certain. And you'd be a fool not to be afraid." The gray-eyed squad-leader replied. "But rest assured, Yukiko, that being here-- with us-- will be beneficial to your cause. You will learn to become a skilled leader. You will learn to hone your abilities to their full potential. And, perhaps within a half year of time, I am confident that the Jounin Exams won't seem as deadly to you as they seem now."

He wanted to offer more encouragement, and specifics on how they would operate, but was distracted when the bell chimed-- signaling the entry of yet another customer to the Tatsuya Café. As it turned out, it was one of the wild cards Eiichiro had mentioned: their fourth squad member, Hiroshi Shikigami. He'd greet the boy with a smile as he approached them. "Hello, I guess I'm the last member of the group. My name is Hiroshi Shikigami, a member of the paper clan scattered across the nations. I hope to be of great service to you all."

"Welcome, Hiroshi. Please, take the seat beside Kai and tell us a little bit more about yourself, hm?" He'd nod politely, gesturing towards the open seat beside the black-maned teenager. He'd gesture to the other two with mere nods as he introduced them. "That's Denkou. And she's Yukiko. We've all just finished our introductions, but I'm certain you'll have time to personally get to know them during a later rendezvous." With that, he awaited to hear what Hiroshi had to say next. Dreams, goals, skills! Anything!

[Hiroshi]

As he entered he was spoke to by the sensei of the group. A rather large man with a wide and sturdy body. His expressions was of a very serious and high demeanor. The other happened to be a woman who had the rank of chuunin as he heard while walking up to them. The other seemed to be a brute. Quite honestly he was sort of fearful of the man with the wild black hair. He seemed more beast than man. He heard a bit about him as well when he approached them, a magnet release user who hates anything airontoku. Heat hater I guess? Weird but everyone has problems. He himself disliked bugs, they totally freaked him out. If he were to ever meet an Aburame he'd probably pass out from fear. An eyebrow twitched and he spoke with a shaken tone.

"As I said, I'm Hiroshi from the Paper clan known as Shikigami. I love to write poems, eat sushi and often claim that I knew of something long before anyone else has. OH! I often yell YOLO a lot."

A small pause.

"I was totally kidding. I love playing around, silly small jokes here and there. I am kind of a free spirit too. Not often caring about things as much as others."

After introducing himself he'd bow to them slightly and smile.

Kai noticed the girls hint of anger even though he meant 'men' as a resource and not as a sex but he shrugged it off until he was answered by Strom. Kai didn't mind the arrangement, after all he wouldn't walk off a cliff just cuz he was told to.

His interest then flitted back to his teammates as the girl informed him that she was indeed a Yukina, a snow-woman, although the boy seemed to be of the Storm alone and not the Harbingers. He offered the boy a light smile and nodded to him. "We'll find a way to blend our abilities no doubt."

However the arrival of another peaked his interest, and annoyance. His gaze found its way to a newcomer clad in blue. His iron gaze raked over the boy like jagged claws as he took in the information he provided for the group which in turn made Kai's wings rustle along his back as his gaze shifted to Strom once more. "And Paper eh?"

[/justify]

[Denkou]

Introductions had gone well and all question had an answer given for them. Their sensei had suggested that Kai and Denkou learn to compliment their abilities, which shouldn’t be too hard, as lightning and metal went well together. Now if they trained together they would be able to muster Techniques that would be best used in conjunction against a single enemy. It seemed Sozin wanted to go into further detail, but was interrupted with the joining of a fourth member.

As he watched the nod and words from Kia, "Yeah for sure!” He replied as he perked up with enthusiasm.

Hiroshi Shikigami, a member from the Paper clan, something that he had actual knowledge on. It seemed it was defiantly a Kekkei Touta Unit. The new member was greeted with a smile from Denkou’s lips. With that in mind, it gave him an idea for the name of the team.

After the latest member introduced himself, it seemed getting a name down was the next plan, before moving onto the first team mission. He couldn’t wait to find out what it would be.

“For a name, what about Team Kekkei Touta? It seems we are all related in one way or another to a Kekkei Touta.” He suggested.

[Yuki-chan]

A boy that appeared to be in his early teens opened up the door. "Hello, I guess I'm the last member of the group.
My name is Hiroshi Shikigami, a member of the paper clan scattered across the nations. I hope to be of great service to you all." greeted Hiroshi. The female gave him a polite bow before he sat down right next to the black-haired guy.

"They are not to be taken lightly, that much is certain. And you'd be a fool not to be afraid. But rest assured, Yukiko, that being here-- with us-- will be beneficial to your cause. You will learn to become a skilled leader. You will learn to hone your abilities to their full potential. And, perhaps within a half year of time, I am confident that the Jounin Exams won't seem as deadly to you as they seem now." replied the older male.

"Thank you. It's good to know that I'll receive special training for my exams...all thought half a year is a bit soon" answered Yukiko. Most people she knew had not received the Jounin title until they were 21-25 years old.
The youngest one had apparently been quite lucky with the Jounin exams. But who knew what sort of dangers she would have to face during her exam?

"For a name, what about Team Kekkei Touta? It seems we are all related in one way or another to a Kekkei Touta." suggested the other boy. The young woman frowned a little; was not that name a bit pretentious?
'Hm...what can be a good name for a team like this?' thought the Chuunin. One had iron sand, another could use paper, a third one had the storm release while she had the ice release.

'GOT IT!' thought the female when she found out what they could call themselves. "This is just a suggestion...but what about Youso buben*? We all have different elements that we control after all plus that we're all shinobis" suggested the brunette.
She hoped that nobody would laugh or scoff at her suggestion; it was not THAT bad. Or at least that was what the young woman thought.

Youso buben = element soldiers.

[Estilo]

OOC: Just to be clear, you didn't actually have to go to the mission compound. Just quote a mission!

Sozin beamed at Hiroshi's evident sense of humour, and listened to every last word that built up the entirety of the Shikigami's introduction. The unity that the team was building here, in the café that he had frequented so many times before-- with Taisho, in fact-- was inspiring. And when Kai voiced a comment, he would shift his cheerful glance over to him, eager to listen. "And Paper eh?"

"Quite a colorful ensemble, wouldn't you agree?" He'd smile.

It was then that Denkou spoke, suggesting a title for the squad with great optimism. “For a name, what about Team Kekkei Touta? It seems we are all related in one way or another to a Kekkei Touta.”

The gray-eyed Jounin would raise a single brow, suggesting that he definitely saw that title as a concrete possibility. But he allowed Yukiko to speak next as, after all, this would be a team effort. Their very first, in fact! It was fairly exciting to the scarfed man. "This is just a suggestion...but what about Youso buben? We all have different elements that we control after all plus that we're all shinobis."

"Elemental Soldiers?" The man reiterated politely. "It has a ring to it." He'd admit. "Then again, Team Kekkai Touta withholds a simple-- yet admiring-- quality to it, too." He'd add, taking a sip of his black coffee shortly thereafter. His eyes shifted towards Hiroshi and Kai. "What do you lads think? Any particular preference? Any suggestion for a new title?" He'd smile. "In addition to that, would anyone like to present a mission? The letter mentioned retrieving a slip from the compound, should you like to have a say in the selection of our assignments. If you have done so, please place it forward on the table. Though, considering the order in which you have all arrived, we'll be doing Kai's mission first. Makes things easier." He'd wait for their reply then.

[Hiroshi]

The team was seeming to be a colorful group of people. Each holding on to his or her own secrets. Whether it be a bloodlimit o some secret techniques. Not many ninja in this world have something like that and being able to work with such people is an honor. Hopefully they would be able to go on many missions together. When would this happen though? His question wasn't off topic so he would ask.

"I've completed a mission only recently, though I want to try something more daring. Got anything like that sensei?"

A fool's question. Though one could not gain strength without first having the courage to face his fear.

[ooc: Shitty post, also thanks for the advice Estilo.]

[Etherion]

As talking about a team name came up he leaned back closing his eyes to rest a little holding his palm up in front of him pulling all of his sand to the spot gathering it into a metal marble mostly black with golden streaks slicing across the unmarred surface of the perfect steel ball. As the ideas seem to rotate they were back to Kai again and as he took in what everyone had said he made his reply.

"What about just SOLDIER, simple easy to remember and it makes our point. No need to give a name that will hint at our skills in case we make a name for ourselves." His gaze remained on the two-toned sphere as he rolled it in his palm knowing that all of his metal comprised it and it was easily over two hundred and fifty pounds. As a second topic of doing a mission came around Strom's eyes rested on Kai as he mentioned that the note had mentioned grabbing a mission. Kai for the first time tonight blinked confused and took out the note reading it over, then in tiny point 1 font under the last line, bring a mission. "Oh... I missed that. skip me, Den you have anything?"

(OOC: I might be gone wednsday through next sunday let me know if you want me to slip out of the thread early so I dont drag you guys down.)

[Denkou]

Soldier. It has a nice ring to it. Thought the Silver haired Shinobi. It was plain and simple and it definitely brought out who they were. Soldier, I like it!" Denkou nodded to Kia to show his approval for the name.

As for mission, he too had missed that he had to bring a mission with him for completion, although he had been looking at one, the day before. Alone it was definitely out of his league, but with a team, it was surely possible. "Yeah, well I was looking at an A ranked Mission the other day, where rumours od a paradise land are somewhere in our land. It is a perfect strategic point that we need to claim. Except it is not free, a group of non-ninja own the land and I heard they will do anything not to lose it."

He didn't know whether an A rank mission was still a bit much for them, but he was not the only one who wanted something a bit more challenging. With the help of their Sensei they would easily make Kumogakure a stronger village.

SPOILER: Click to show

name; Scouting Party

description; There have been some rumors of a paradise zone somewhere to the east of the village. Not just any luxiourious plot of land either, something pulled straight out of a fairly tail. Waterfall’s, fruit tree’s and all the iron and stone one could pick a shovel at. On top of that it’s perfectly nestled between some mountain ranges making it wonderful strategically. This is gonna work slightly against us, however, as the zone is incredibly protected by a group of powerful non-ninja’s. If we want a snowballs chance in Hell of claiming this land for ourselves, we’re gonna need to heavily scout it out first.

"What about just SOLDIER, simple easy to remember and it makes our point. No need to give a name that will hint at our skills in case we make a name for ourselves." suggested the older guy. "Soldier, I like it!" stated the younger boy.
"Fine with me. All though it sounds a little boring though" told the female with a small smile on her face...it was not half bad really.

"I've completed a mission only recently, though I want to try something more daring. Got anything like that sensei?" inquired the youngest boy there. Yukiko looked over at the man to see his response.
Denkou then pulled out something that looked like a mission slip. It made the young woman rise her ebony eyebrows in surprise.

"Yeah, well I was looking at an A ranked Mission the other day, where rumours of a paradise land are somewhere in our land. It is a perfect strategic point that we need to claim. Except it is not free, a group of non-ninja own the land and I heard they will do anything not to lose it." told the male.
The Chuunin tilted her head a little while she read the description. This was a somewhat complicated mission...fighting against many was not her field of expertise.

Another factor was that this team had yet to do any missions together. It was no doubt that a team had to work well together in order to succeed. "No offense Denkou-san, but perhaps we should take a lower ranked mission first? My personal opinion is to focus on teamwork first. Teamwork is the key on high-ranked missions after all" said the female. She was not pessimistic but they had to be realistic.

[Estilo]

OOC: That's cool, Kai. We might all be exiting now. We'll probably be doing the mission by the time you get back next week, though. And I'm not sure if you can pop into an A-rank late and reap the benefits. =X

Sozin perked as Hiroshi spoke, eager to hear the next inquiry. "I've completed a mission only recently, though I want to try something more daring. Got anything like that sensei?" The young man asked.

"Hmm. Perhaps one of your teammates have selected an assignment with as much daring as you require." He'd reply. Kai, however, had missed that part of the letter. And, therefore, passed the privilege of their first assignment to Denkou. His suggestion for the team's name, however, seemed to resonate with a majority of the gathered squad. For now, Sozin would focus listening to what assignment young Denkou wanted to suggest.

"Yeah, well I was looking at an A ranked Mission the other day, where rumours of a paradise land are somewhere in our land. It is a perfect strategic point that we need to claim. Except it is not free, a group of non-ninja own the land and I heard they will do anything not to lose it." It seemed to be just what Hiroshi was looking for...

The gray-eyed Jounin, however, was particularly interested to hear the opinion of his Chuunin student. She seemed to be adamant about the title of their team, but kept a mature standpoint on it. It served them well enough, Sozin supposed she was thinking. But it was when she voiced her next suggestion, that the ebony-haired man's attention peaked. "No offense Denkou-san, but perhaps we should take a lower ranked mission first? My personal opinion is to focus on teamwork first. Teamwork is the key on high-ranked missions after all." The Jounin calmly took a sip of his coffee.

When he was done with his brief musing, he would set the ceramic cup down on the wooden table with a light 'clink'. "Let's do it." He suddenly said, in an almost near-whisper. His relaxed, narrowed gray-eyes shifted towards the faces of all of his soon-to-be students-- stopping at Yukiko. He wasn't sure if she could see it, but his eyes were brimming with a certain... spark. As if he were subtlety asking her to trust him. He knew what he was doing. "The assignment should provide the perfect opportunity to gauge our strengths and weaknesses as a team. Should you all be on board with the risks, you have my permission to leave this table, and wait for another letter with further instructions." He'd say, smiling.

"And, most of all, welcome to Team - 軍人- Gunjin, lads."

[Hiroshi]

It seemed that we were to go on a mission to test our teamwork. If he were to survive anything it was what he had to do. After the closing words were said he'd stand up.

"Well! Thanks for everything sensei! I guess we will see you when we receive our summons for the mission then."

After that he'd go to the dining area and fade off into the rest of the night.

-exit-

[/font][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

[Etherion]

Kai became silent after seeing the mission agreeing with the girl but he figured if anything was going to test their teamwork itd be being forced into a corner. Kai nodded and sat back down finishing his sake before setting the bottle and standing his height towering over the two other team mates. "Looks like our first test will be hell. I'll catch you all then."

With a wide grin he waved them farewell and headed for the door with his new team at his back.

[Denkou]

"Alright!" Exclaimed Denkou as their sensei had decided to go ahead with the mission he had mentioned. It would be his first A Rank mission and he would be lying if he wasn't slightly nervous.

"Finally we're going to make an impact on the scene when we succeed!" His smile beamed from one ear to the other. "Nothing will stop team Gunjin!" He cheered for the rest of his team. Anyone could see the delight in his eyes, he was almost far too happy for the situation. "Gon'na brush up on my skills to I think." He continued, knowing he also had to purchase a few items before the mission.

Giving a small smile and nod to his Sensei, He made his way towards the exit. "See you guys soon." Were his last words before he left.
