"They want me to run a team in this piece of shit village?! Tch." Koga scoffed, huffing a sigh as he flicked away the butt of his cigarette off into the bed of grass a handful of meters off to his side (right). Both hands in their respective pockets, Koga -in control- made his way through the village's park, making his way over to the training grounds with a steady gait. Lungs filled with smoke, Koga coughed, triggering a undesired lecture from his brother - Tetsuya.

"Y'know, you'll end up killing us with all that smoke before we even make a name for ourselves. . .you know that right?", "Quit yer whining, only thing that'll kill us is, well, nuthin'. Got that?!" Koga replied abrasively as he continued along the serpentine like path for several moments until he reached the middlepoint of where he expected whoever decided to show up. Wearing his general attire Koga reached up to shoulder-to-waist stap that kept the sheath to his katana hoisted upon his back and unfastened the buckle. A light thud confirmed that the sword fell to the ground, relieving Koga's body of the extra wait.

Standing two meters in front of three juxtaposed logs (about 1 meter in height and 3 meters apart), Koga's hands worked in tandem to retrieve another cigarette in which he immediately locked between both lips before lighting it with a fundamental spark of fire manipulation. Before hitting said cigarette, a quick, second-long glance looked over to the river that lay 15 meters to Koga's righter most flank.

"I wish they'd hurry the hell up!"

Stale was the best way to describe the winds, and warmth given off by a combination of natural elements. I hated walking around during the afternoon with no real purpose other then to be subjugated by another person's words especially her words. My gaze penetrated all before me, which pretty much meant my field of vision was pretty damn good at the moment. Fast, but not enough to be placed between jogging, and running was my movement towards the training arena. It brought back a flooding of memories from Vera-Neesan, and her endless hours of training my little weak body into the toned frame I sported now.

It would seem like the little bit of traversing the lands I had to do would suffice as my body arrived at the meeting place. I didn't decelerate even a tiny little bit -- instead using the momentum to launch myself into the air over the stream ( since I would appear from the right flank ). The leap wouldn't clear the river completely as it's width was more then I could accurately sling-shot across ( --- X --- ). As I landed on the water, I slide across it with the added chakra within my feet. I loved the suiton element -- and with the added momentum I would slide along the waters edge just for a little bit, before stopping completely still upon the water.

I changed my heads position, tilting it, slightly to show what was on the other side." So, you're the person I'm suppose to be teamed up with?" I pulled up my right hand, balling it tightly into a fist, and shaking it to be seen by him. " Well I expect some powerful ass missions from us got it! " I changed my right hands positioning pulling it back to point my thumb at myself, before throwing it back out pointing at the "leader" of my team. " And as a Ouji (lit. King) I expect nothing but greatness out of you!" I was dead serious about this because I wasn't gonna carry this damned team.

"Looks like someone finally showed up." Reluctantly, Tetsuya warned Koga the persons presence who arrived from a rather odd and unexpected direction. Taking a quick drag from his cigarette, Koga looked over to his right and immediately noticed the fellow Konohagkaure shinobi that gradually approached him. No more than a second later had a second native shinobi approached, however, this time around they came arrived parallel to Koga (roughly 5 meters away).

The young lad who seemed to have purposely remained standing atop the river spoke out to Koga with an attitude he truly hadn't expected. While his words were not sharp nor lethal, they carried confidence and for that alone Koga smiled like a man would to an adorable child.

"Cute. . .", he said aloud in tandem with dragging his cigarette several times, reaching the middle point of its life. "I he reminds me of a younger but cooler version of yourself." Tetsuya teased within the safety of the twin's own mind. Mentally, Koga replied, "What?! you've gotta be kidding, I'm surely light-years ahead of this kid. You'll play for trying to downplay me like that." After a brief moment of silence, Koga looked to his immediate front at the girl who, by that time, annouced herself to be Uchiha Hikaru, a doujutsu wielder.

Considering his high dislike for doujutsu, he grinned menacingly as his mind had already gone through thousands of different ways to make her experience on that team a living hell. "Yeah, I'm the leader, Uchiha. So with that out of the way, I guess I gotta introduce myself. I'm Koga and this guy here is Tetsuya - my twin." He expressed clearly without a sliver of enthusiasm, leaving no indication that his brother had been inside of him which, at first glance, would've caused Koga to come off ass insane. Honestly he didn't care if he did or didn't, after-all, he hadnt' been obligated to them, not these genin.

"So today, before we go do this scouting, each of you are going to tell me your age and what you can bring to the table as a leaf ninja. you first smartass." He said, referring to the young boy to his right with a tongue filled with venom.

This annoyed the shit outta me having to sit back on the water's edge, and wait for a reply. Inside I was shitting my pants with anxiety over how brash, and brave I sounded outside, and timid inside. Yet what really caught my ears was the second person to join our group. She was a sweet looking piece of tail know as Hikaru, man if that name wasn't generic as fuck, but the sexiness was still all there. I wasn't gonna listen to the useless ramblings of some dude trying to act cool."I'm a king -- I bring everything to the table. And about that whole leader business on paper that is all fine wit me, but in my face that isn't gonna fly, comprende."

I felt way strong then I ever did in my life, but having someone rule over me? Hell no -- that kind of disgusting shit is what I really don't like at all." And you Hikaru. Never say you are an Uchiha unless it is with conviction! We are a proud clan!" I said that not just for her to hear it, but for the smug bastard talking to himself could hear it also. I didn't like anyone who disrespected the uchiha even if it was the smallest comment I'll become the most powerful attack dog towards anything that moves.

Initially only a single man stood before both Hikaru and the other young lad, meaning that the twin Koga hinted towards so only couldn't have possible been seen unless Koga allowed him to assume control over their body or the two outright separated.

Regardless, as the young boy labeled himself as a 'king' spoke out claiming that he had everything to bring to the table, Koga then decided he would challenge the boy and his words. Looking to Hikaru, he grinned menacingly, ushering her to pay attention as Koga opted to not only break his spirit like a master would his down, but embarrass him in on fell swoop.

"Fine. . ." For a moment, Koga paused and then continued, "Show me everything you've got to bring by knocking this cigarette out of my mouth." In tandem as he spoke, Koga turned to face the young boy, and just as he did, he reached down and retrieved his sheathed sword. Deciding to use it from its scabbard as a blunt weapon, Koga's free hand raised up and aligned itself with his position (palm facing up).

His fingers curled inwardly, gesturing him to approach and engage Koga with whatever methods and strategies he felt were most effective. "You've got the talking down, show me whether or not you can back it up."

"Show me everything you've got to bring by knocking this cigarette out of my mouth." This bastard was now starting to tick me off to a point I wanted to slug his ugly mug with my Longsword -- The World. That was when the sneakiest of thoughts entered my mind, and come on I needed to smile about this. I rose my hands, twisting them into the symbols of the zodiac. I finished relatively quickly, because come on one seal wasn't anything to me. I could hear it, water began to spiral behind me like tiny maelstroms. The forms water began to grab out, and reach towards the very skies like three bomb blasts underwater.

My smile grew wider as all three of them jumped forwards onto land, posing in my usual awesome fashion. It was Alpha, Beta, and Zeta my ultimate water clones. Our shark toothed grins were wide, I waved my left hand ordering Alpha to the first waves of assault." I'm a king! did you really expect me to attack you myself? Naive. " Alpha moved at the same speed that this lithe mimicked frame would allow. He reached ten meters away from Koga, before sifting his body into a dash to the left, his hands sealing at their greatest speed, while trying to run around to the side still aiming to run into koga from the left flank.

I didn't just sit there -- Me,Beta, and Zeta walked onto the lands, because I wanted to see what happened to koga. We began prepping our own ninjutsu. This would be really fun to knock that smug bastard down a peg or two. And my plan would be exactly the way to do it, but it only would work if he took the initial bait which I know his dumbass would.

The latch locked. Then it unlocked. Locked. Unlocked. Locked. "Five," Korenth whispered. He stood outside his home with his forehead resting against the front door for a moment before he opened his mission scroll in his gloved hands. He stood there even longer now in silence reading the mission scroll over and over for a total of five thorough readings. "Alright simple enough," he mumbled.

He turned around and walked towards the road his eyes looking down still at his hands. He had tucked the scroll away into a small ziplock back before putting it into one of his sealed pockets. He had now taken out a dark pair of glasses avoiding meeting people's gazes as he wiped the lenses clean with a pristine cloth, again five times. Once he was done he set his dark glasses back upon the bridge of his nose and smiled with amusement.

The mission in question didn't seem all that hard, but it would definitely prove a larger challenge than it seemed at first. After all this was a mission ranked B, which meant two things. One, the mission was going to be pretty tough for a ninja so fresh. Two, it meant that he was being assigned to some form of team to meet up with and it was clear he wasn't going to be the leader. Knowing this Korenth checked to his quiver of arrows and compulsively counted them five times. Each time he came up with ten arrows as he knew he would but still...



Korenth came to a stop overlooking the beginnings of a fight between three shinobi below. They were his team, as he well knew from the scroll's instructions of where to meet and clearly they were passing the time waiting for him. Either that or simply mad at one another for reasons yet explained. There was yet no need to disturb whatever bizarre ritual they were working about, and so he chose to stand where he was (30 meters away) before withdrawing his longbow from his back and polishing the wood and handle with a brand new handkerchief.

The World. That was when the sneakiest of thoughts entered my mind, and come on I needed to smile about this. I rose my hands, twisting them into the symbols of the zodiac.

"There!" Koga thought to himself as he crouched low to the earth with a speedy gait (evading Hikaru's bolt as a result) and moved his left hand into his pouch in one swift motion. Digging deep into his hip pack, he retrieved a single marble sized sphere compact with illusive elements. Instead of cupping it fully and throwing it traditionally, Koga merely allowed it to drop to the ground with a barely audible thud. The impact caused the sphere to explode and expel its smokey contents around a 10x10 meter radius. While it wouldn't have covered that distance in an instant, it surely concealed Koga's position immediately considering he acted as its epicenter.

"Do your thing." Koga pleaded to his brother, and with a mental nod, the two split apart at the snap of a finger, creating a secondary source of chakra that couldn't have been tracked through smoke with a mere dojutsu that required an immediate line of sight. Tetsuya, after splitting from his brothers body, abruptly turned at a 45^o angle to his own left and bolted forward with impressive speed (x2 that of an average shinobi), outright displaying the advantages to being a Taijutsu enthusiast. Nevertheless, Koga bolted forward without warning, devouring the distance between them to a considerable degree, namely 5 meters.

Assuming he even breached that 5 meter threshold, a quick burst of speed¹ carried him forward past Aota, placing him 5 meters behind Aota with a rough estimate of 2 meters of lateral space between them. It went without saying that -with an effective way to conceal his movement- Tetsuya's body flicker achieved its maximum effect. Presuming everything proceeded as planned, Tetsuya merely turned around and faced Aota's immediate rear, ready to react upon either his own, or Koga's command.

Meanwhile, Koga remained crouched within the smoke and performed a quick series of hand signatures as the smoke began to finally clear up and dissipate.

"He did it!" I thought quickly. The smooth movements that I employed where enough that he seemed to try to feign interest. At the time I had finished my clones ( singular seal ), and summoned my clones it would seem my mentor would throw down what looked like a small ball. I watched closely^Sharingan -- and watched before raising my arm upwards to shield my vision from the explosion.

The impact caused the sphere to explode and expel its smokey contents around a 10x10 meter radius.

I had already summoned Alpha thanks to it costing me only a singular seal to create them all. Did he really think I didn't have a contingency for if he interrupted Alpha's movements. He still continued on his original intended plan to slam his entire body into Koga. The only problem was the smoke bomb's smoke increasing in power making me lose all visibility of my creation once he entered the smog at the end of it's expansion. Not even the sharingan allowed me visibility of what was going on, and alpha was completely useless to me without visibility. I finished my seals, while beta, and zeta continued with there own. I brought my right palm upwards, pinching my index finger, and thumb to create a make-shift blower.

Unbeknownst to Aota or his clones his actions would coincide with the movements of Koga, and his Brother Tetsuya. The time they would split apart would be the same time that alpha had just started his sprint forward. Back to Chimamire's continued plans. This allowed the space in between my fingers to build up with a soapy film of chakra. It took but one single blow to release the giant stream of water pressure stretching wide enough to hit three people. I hated these damn tricks -- my eyes allowed me to see everything including this bullshit.

Now the seals used by Alpha would unbeknownst to me be continued as he stopped completely inside the smoke. He would look around before freely aiming off a ninjutsu in a linear movement in front of him. It was a strong spear like burst of water which he used to pierce through the smoke itself trying to create an opening in the direction near, but with his zero visibility no chance of actually hitting koga. The biggest thing for me was Beta, and Zeta standing on the inverse sides of me with right, and left. They didn't complete the seals -- this made me suspect they wanted to do something flashy which to be very honest I freaking approved.

Beta finished first, birthing from the water behind myself a giant suiton maelstrom of water, the rising build of water quickly transformed into a biting serpent wrapping around forward into the left side of the smoke, while Zeta still prepped."Fuck -- this is over."

The clean kerchief moved smoothly across the wood of the bow, polishing what little dust and blemishes were beginning to show on the bow. The fight went on still a short distance away and the young Aburame watched on with curious roving eyes behind tinted lenses. He was eager to see what his team mates were capable of even if only in a sparring situation. Even now, one demonstrated resourcefulness and the cunning use of a smoke bomb, another manipulated clones into a combined display of suiton techniques, the third encircled herself with flaming orbitals. All in all the team was full of well rounded combatants it seemed. Perfect for Korenth and his own set of abilities to compliment their teamwork.

He smiled and huffed once more on the fine wood of the bow making a quick pass with the cloth before tossing it aside to the ground and delicately placing the bow back across his shoulders. He smiled again towards the fight and content that it wasn't over just yet, took out a second handkerchief and began pulling his arrows out of the quiver one by one, wiping them all down and polishing the heads before placing them delicately back in the quiver. Some men blamed their tools for their failures but such an excuse was a luxury the shinobi couldn't afford.
