Naruto: The First Spark IC

[joeyjoey61297]

Jo looked at her new team and smiled she greeted each of them with a large hug and was kind of confused because she was the only girl. Or well she couldn't tell what kahu was but looking at them she said"Let's go team 6 to the training field"
Joe had looked at them all and stood their waiting for a response, but she was so ready to go and meet her instructor. Looking at her team for a second time she realized that there was another uchiha in her midst smiling Jo looked at him and thought to herself that with the two of them her team will be Legendary. And so starts my journey to make history and leave my print in this world.

[MiscChaos]

Atsuko is taken aback with Nara-sensei's abrasive manner of speaking to the Hokage, the mightiest shinobi in the village, but it's pushed to the back of her mind at the idea of getting out of the village. Sunagakure, huh? That seems more than far enough for her. She quietly follows along with Nara-sensei's plan. Anything to get out of here.

"I'm just fine with this pace. Anything to get out of this village and my family." she says in response to Hajime's question

[Ayame]

Once they left Kimishi couldn't help but like Nara-sama. He was not only up in the Hokage's face but also the bit about bonds made her feel like she was ready to take on the world. "Alright now I'd like to know your strengths and weakness's in a succinct and orderly manner." Kato said some what impatiently but also very attentively. Kimishi took this chance to speak up. "My name is Kimishi Hyuuga, my main strengths lie in close combat and reconnaissance my weakness's are long range fighting and fighting with a weapon." Kimishi said standing firmly even after she finished. It was kinda embarrassing but she could see Kato was already taking this into account and formulating strategies in his mind.

[Thaedael]

Great, another Hyuuga with family issues. Top of their class they may be, functional, anything but it seemed. He knew team six was composed of creeps and weirdos as well but this group seemed to have daddy and mummy issues. He walked along side Kimishi, trying to get her attention with hand signals as they went, her mind seemingly focused on the mission at hand. Before long they had ended up outside in the courtyard of the Hokage's estate, two sides of the clearing boxed in by the low laying walls, the other two by the building itself.

The sensei spoke, talking about their strengths and weaknesses. "Yet you decide to do this now, and not before accepting a mission sensei?" he said with annoyed resignation. He looked to the other two for support, anything, just toss him a bone, he did not want to go on the first mission with only the most basic of knowledge of his team mates let alone hung-over from the festivities the night before.

[MiscChaos]

"I've told you my name, but I'll repeat it. I'm Atsuko Hyuuga. My main strength is in defensive close combat. My weaknesses include long range combat, though I'm working on that. The range of my Byakugan is relatively short compared to most too." she says simply, eager to get out of here.

[Ayame]

Kato crouched down in front of Hajime and looked him in the eyes. "Here take this it'll help with the hangover trust me I use them all the time." Kato said smiling. "Don't worry, you're all in no danger you have a Jonin with you after all and besides haven't you heard what the village has taken to calling me? They call me The Leaf's Genius Tactician." Kato said with a slight laugh. 'I don't approve of it but it doesn't stop them." Kimishi turned to Hajime after she finally noticed the hand signals he was making at her. "Oh, sorry. Yes what is it?"

[Thaedael]

Hajime pushed his out-stretched hand aside, not wanting to take anything from the sensei that was so rash as to start a mission before they had gotten to know each-other, suspecting it was more than just "hang-over medicine". He may be observant enough, he may be a tactician, but he also needed to be a fighter as well. There was no doubt he had to be, otherwise he wouldn't have attained the rank of teacher in the first grand-scale experiment of regimented ninja training and education, yet he was still suspect to it all.

He looked back to Atsuko, then to Kato, and finally Hime-Hyuuga, noticing she was now trying to gain his attention. He brushed it off, that which he wanted to speak about having no real merit given the circumstances. "Forgot it" he said brushing it off. "This still does not sit well with me, especially with the amount of residual hatred and violence out in the world after the war".

[MiscChaos]

Atsuko can understand Hajime's point of view... but she doesn't have as strong a grip on the hatred and violence of the outside world when her open is so full of it herself. She really asks herself if the flavor of it outside of her home is better than the one's she's dealt with because she can kill someone who hits her outside her home. When she puts it like that, going on the mission still seems like the best course of action.

"I'm sure we can deal with whatever the world can throw at us." she says instead of her true thoughts

[Ayame]

Kato laughed too himself as they voiced their opinions on his decisions. He didn't mind that Hajime had brushed him off before, after all, they had just become acquainted. Once they arrived at the Hidden Leaf Gates they spotted their client. He had a horse drawn wagon with some construction gear in the wagon. It seemed the four ninja would be his bodyguards. "Yo, it's nice to meet you, my name is Kato I'm the Jonin in charge of Team 5. This is Atsuko, Hajime and Kimishi." Kimishi waved silently but pleasantly when her name was called. Kato once again turned too them and stated: "I'm team leader so if a combat situation arises you let me call all the shots. No hero stuff, deal?" Kimishi simply nodded not really paying attention, it was an escort mission how bad could it get?

[Thaedael]

Give me something to work with, give me acknowledgement of what I am saying, something, anything. He walked behind the group, reluctant to exactly go into the war-torn world that the outside represented, having witnessed it many times before coming to the village. After all, his village was not to far from the village hidden in the leaves. He walked behind Atsuko and Kimishi, the lack of even talking between the group members getting under his skin. Master strategist or not, he is not using the team to the full capacity of their abilities, and is leaving too much to chance.

He skimmed a hand along the scroll holder at his side, thumbing at the ninja plaque on the strip of fabric. He had everything he hoped he would need, having spent the days leading up to graduation preparing for a trip such as this, but to make one so soon he was not sure about. His left hand traced the three-blade kunai that hung on a loop on his left, each one with marked with scrolls on them, waiting his command.

"Are you really Ok with this Hyuuga-Hime, or are you just getting out there to prove your worth as well?" he muttered to Kimishi.

[MiscChaos]

Atsuko merely gives the client a short bow.

"If we could have your name, that'd be nice too." she says. She's not planning on "hero stuff" or anything of that nature. She's defensive in nature, so the only heroics she could pull is to defend someone.

[Ayame]

"No I'm terrified." Kimishi answered honestly, she turned and looked Hajime right in the eyes. "But we've been practicing for three years for this moment. We have three of the strongest ninja in the academy with us and a Jonin. I'm not here to prove anything. I'm here to better this village that I love and better myself." Kimishi said and then gave him a smile. "Why are you here Hajime?" She asked honestly wondering what the answer would be. Meanwhile Kato discusses specifics with their employer and settled on one token per ninja involved as a price for the transportation. "The man looked at Atsuko and happily responded "My name is Isagawa Mayuro!"

[MiscChaos]

She nods to the employer, Isagawa-san, in acknowledgement of his name. She doesn't have anything to add really. She's just eager to get out and do something outside of Konoha. "Are all preparations ready? she asks

[Thaedael]

He stood at more than an arm's length from the rest of the group, resigned to it. Why is he here? Like he had some speech prepared for why he wants to go and risk his life on the first mission on the first day of graduating while hung-over. He placed his hands on either side of his head, his arms out from his body as he walked behind them looking up at the sky, enjoying the warmth of the sun, and the sounds of nature all around him as they continued to sit around the gate of the village, the caravan driver ready to do as he needed to simple to survive.

[Ayame]

"Hey Hajime at least come closer even if you won't answer me." Kimishi said happily taking his arm in her hand and pulling him closer to the group. "Okay looks like everyone is ready, let's head out." Isagawa walked in between the group of four, one side was Kato and the other had Attsuko, Kimishi and Hajime on it. They moved out onto the route it would take them about five hours at this pace to get to The Hidden Sand Village. They were in a rolling grassy prairie at this point it was blue skies and they could see the ocean to their right, it was truly a stunning sight.

[Thaedael]

They walked along the dirt path along the rolling fields of grass, the wind blowing through them making mini-waves ripple through the grass on a day that was perfect for lazing about. She had walked arm in arm with him for the last little leg of the trip, her two arms hooked into the one arm he had feeding into his pocket, her body closed to his making walking a little awkward as her features pushed into him. Why was he fighting, he too could say things like make a better world, or make the world perfect, and he would if he could. He was idealistic as he was pragmatic, change doesn't come with hard work, and dying today doesn't make tomorrow any better, especially dying in hate, which only lead to more hate. "So Hyuuga-Hime, why run away from your duties. I thought it would be prestigious to be the leader of a household as strong as your own?" he asked. He looked to Atsuko wondering about her as well. Were all the hyuuga so unhappy? Was that what made them effective kunoichi?

[MiscChaos]

Atsuko looks like an excited child at the sight of the open outdoors. She takes a deep breath and trades the fake smile she keeps on her face for a real one, overfilled with joy and excitement. She gives a little laugh of happiness as her head whips around hard enough to make someone worry about whiplash. Before, she'd just wanted to get away. Now, she's legitimately excited to see more, take in more of the landscape. She tones down the excitement a little when she remembers that they are on an escort mission, but the smile on her face still remains

[Ayame]

Kimishi heard Hajime ask why she had no intent of succeeding her father as the head of the Hyuuga family house. "Well... I refuse to stand for an establishment that thrives because it enslaves and enforces the will of others." Kimishi said in an uncertain tone. She knew that she'd probably be forced into it either way and she still wasn't completely comfortable talking about it next to Atsuko who must have had it much worse then she. "If I'm forced to enter into that position, then I vow to change everything about it. It's my nindo, my ninja way." Kimishi said smiling lightly at the ground, too afraid to be judged for her idealistic thoughts so she didn't look Hajime in the eyes. But there was no time for that, there was a caravan approaching and soon the trio would he Kato bark at them to come to the front of the wagon.

[MiscChaos]

Atsuko stops her admiration of nature long enough to give Kimishi a measuring look, her real smile fading a bit as she does so. Can she really trust that? Atsuko planned to never have kids, not wanting to subject them to the same torture the seal put her through, but if Kimishi maybe could change that... Her reflection is interrupted by the order to come to the front of the wagon, Atsuko immediately coming up front and tensing up, preparing for whatever came along.

[Thaedael]

Enslaves, the word bounced around in his head a few times, but he couldn't make heads or tails of it, so instead decided to just go along with it. They were quiet, the majority of the trip being taken in self-reflecting state. He hoped they would eventually open up more as a group, and begin to work at building proper relationships, but at least he knew that one of them had a goal in mind, and one that was commendable. What was his ninja way? He snapped back into reality, getting in line with the other three as the passing caravan drew near.
