OOC: Is the ramen shop exactly next to the Hokage tower? Because that's the only way we could make this work. XD I'll just assume it is and continue.

IC: "Well yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what everyone else is here for right?" Yuna answered in the rudest tone she could manage. 'How dare she speak to me like that! Wht I outta..!'

"Well then, I'M going to judge a competition!" She said pointing to herself because she felt as if she was just that important. "Because I'm better." she added under her breath and scooted over to the ramen stand before anyone else might start another fight. 'I was right, everyone IS weird today.'

"Ok then, try and remove the hat.....NOW!" she shouted trying to impersonate an actual judge.

"All genin who have been told to come to my office, get over here now!"

 Yuna winced at the sound of an angry Hokage. " Well then I guess we have to continue later." She walked into the building and into the Hokage's office.
 
Kyoto ignored the girls comments before the Hokage angrily called out for all the Genin he summoned to go into his office Kyoto immediately released Matsuro and swore under his breath so that it was not even audible because he was displeased that the boy had not apologized.

He walked into the Hokages Tower and then into his office. He stood up and leaned on one of the walls and waited for the Hokage to start his talk about why they were summoned specially to his Tower and what they would have to do for him.
 
Tsuki had been trying to relax after all the fights the genin were picking with each other. It seemed like a waste of energy, especially for so early in the morning and it's not like they would get anywhere anyway.

'These guys make my head hurt.' Tsuki said to herself as she groaned and turned over to the other side to try and rest. But alas her attempts at relaxing were futile and were shot down once the Hokage started screaming out her window. "So aggresive.." she muttered as she slowly moved herself up to the Hokage's briefing room were she continued to scream out her window. 'Where does everyone get these gigantic bursts of energy from?'

Tsuki had taken a good look at the genin before and came to the conclusion that they were summoned for a tournament. Even though she was wrong. All she wanted was her sensei and team mates, well no judging by how these other genin act, just her sensei so she can just train. Again Tsuki decided to lean on the wall on the inside of the Hokage's room.

OOC: Short Post~!

As Matsuro aimed his kick for Manabi's head, she smirked. The idiot had no idea what he was up against, and on top of that his taijutsu skills were a bit in disarray. Instead of dodging the kick, as expected, Manabi whipped up her right arm, using it to block the blow, and twisted suddenly, grabbing Matsuro's leg. Her grin only widened as she whipped herself around quickly, throwing her would-be attacker head-first over her shoulder. It was then that the Hokage's call echoed throughout the village.

Cursing, Manabi turned to Matsuro. "Next time, don't act cocky," she admonished, before dashing off in the direction of the Hokage's office.
 
OOC: I'm going to make it seem like I was with you guys the whole time >_< School's so annoying! Short Post alert!

IC: These guys are annoying... Uria thought. It wasn't even 10 o'clock yet and most of the other people were already busting out energy. Uria sighed. He didn't like this morning. Not one bit, yet. He didn't like all the noise. He just wanted peace and quiet. "Yo, I can't even hear myself think. Can you guys at least turn it down just a little?" Uria leaned against the wall.

Uria brought out a kunai and started to twirl it on his index finger. He didn't care if it was dangerous, it was a habit for him. For the record, it only flew off his finger once and got a spy ninja in the eye. "*sigh* I wonder... Who's gonna be partnered with who?"
 
Miku gasped at the sudden answer from the girl. Still in a state of shock, Miku watched the girl turn around and join the commotion in the Ramen shop.

"Oh, you're going to pay for that." Miku whispered, making the hand signs of her bloodline limit. She almost finished when Tsunade's voice suddenly filled the air.

"All genin who have been told to come to my office, get over here now!" Miku shuddered at the sound of the angry Hokage. Forgetting about the situation that had just taken place, she rushed into the mission briefing room. There were four others in the building, including that short girl and the speedy one, who just came in after her. There was also a short guy with multi-colored hair (though mostly black) and the girl that kinda looked like her. Save the girl's bad sense of style.

Sticking her hands in the pockets of her blue and white plaid shorts, Miku walked between the speedy girl and the short one. Observing the two, she whispered under her breath, "If I were to end up in a group with these two losers, I don't know what I'd do!"
 
-Matsuro-

As Matsuro fallowed the other genin up the building, he thought to himself, "Pfft, you honestly thought you would have won? Blocking was the worst thing for you to do." Matsuro then began to picture the outcome in his head.

"You blocked my right leg with your right arm, also very foolish, I'd then aim my left fist at your exposed rib. You'd obviously block that too, but with your left hand, leaving your entire left side open...Your the one who shouldn't get cocky." Matsuro smirked as he finally walked in the briefing room. He then walked foward to the Hokage and stood, awaiting her oh so important announcement.

OOC: I think we should give Stardust some time to catch up, she only posted once.
 
Katsumi finished her ramen, savoring every noodle. Her eyes drifted to the east wall, and she scanned the clock. She took one look at the clock and darted out the shop. She was already late for the meeting; what a fool she was.

As she dashed down the streets, she cursed under breath and continously insulted herself for being late. By the time she reached the end of the road, she was gasping for breath. Quickly she regained her composure so as not to look like a un-physically fit shinobi in front of the Hokage. Holding her head high and carrying a lofty air about her, she entered the building to find several other genin there.
 
OOC: Will be editing this with Matsuro and Koumori's posts tomorrow.

"Well, I'm glad you all have finally arrived." Tsunade, the Hokage began to announce. Still a tad frustrated that it took longer for the genin to show up than it should have took. She then went on with her speech.

"I am here to introduce you to your sensei who will teach you how to become a better shinobi than you are at the moment. Some of you may think your already a talented shinobi, but don't get cocky. From here on out, your lives shall become a risk every moment you step out of you home." Tsunade finished, as she gave Shizune, her apprentice, the signal to open the door that everyone had first entered through. For a brief second, no one was at the door. Then, in a flash, four shinobi appeared. All seemed to be chuunin and up. Once the four took a stand around the Hokage, they introduced themselves.

"Good morning, I am Kakashi Hatake." One, white haird and middle age-looking jounin stated, then moving to let a fellow shinobi, a girl take the stage.

"Hello, I am Haruno Sakura and I can't wait to meet you all." She winked to make a final impression and then moved to the side. The next person was a bit of a slouch with a tired look of not wanting to be here.

"I'm Shikimaru Nara..., what ever." He sighed, moving to let the final person state their name.

"I am Rock Lee and don't think you'll be sleeping in my team!" He announced, making sure it sunk into all the student's heads. Tsunade then stood in front of them all and began to state the teams.

"Alright, team one: Rock Lee, Tsuki Tenshi, Yasu Miku, and Yuna Handaiyo. Team two: Sakura Haruno, Kakidashi Matsuro, Hanako Manabi, and Ryuken Uria. Team three: Kakashi Hatake, Kyoto Syuku. Sorry to say; your team mates were not found at all in the village. Another genin in this next group is missing as well; team four: Shikamaru Nara, Katsumi Hoshikaze and Ikimono Koumori." Tsuande finally ended her announcement and looked over to Shizune who gave Tsunade a worried face. Tsunade stared at the floor for a second and looked up at the crowded room.

"Okay, that is all. You all may go train now...Good luck to everyone of you, and remember, your not little kids anymore." Tsunade finally ended the announcement and signaled them to leave by waving her hand up in the air.

-Matsuro-
Matsuro was glad to have been given Sakura as his sensei as she was a superior medical ninja.

"I hope she can teach me so if I ever become injured, I can heal myself." His good moment was soon killed after Tsunade stated that Hanabi was also on his team, the one who he had just rumbled with in front of the ramen shop. Matsuro gave a faint "Tsk" and then thought to himself, "Why does she have to be on the same team as me? Oh well, she may be a decent fighter, but my ninjutsu takes the win."

-Koumori-
"Shikimaru huh?...Seems like a pushover if you ask me." Koumori stated as she scanned her new sensei. She then thought again, "If I remember correctly, Shikimaru is a shadow possession user. I wonder if he could help me with my justsu techniques...even though their already good enough, they could be better I suppose." She barely even paid any attention to who her teammates were, she figured they'd get their chance to introduce themselves when they all gather.

OOC: Chigiri, I realize I'm being nitpicky and all, but first of all your taijutsu strategy is way off, since Manabi's move wasn't a simple block, it was a leg-throw. Second of all, for a character who supposedly suffers from poor reflexes and relies on a kekkei genkai to get an edge in Taijutsu, Matsuro seems to have a very good idea of martial arts. (At least, he thinks he does.) Manabi, while she considers her Hema Jutsu to be her primary focus right now, has spent no little amount of time perfecting balance and defense taijutsu, hence her ability to counter those techniques. Not picking on you or anything, just saying.

IC: Manabi snorted as her oppressor picked himself up from the ground and walked away, smirking. Honestly, who the hell did he think he was, the next Hokage? Really, if she didn't know better she'd assume that he actually thought he could win with the strategy he had just described. Because his kick had aimed for her side, if he had punched she could have simply grabbed his arm and thrown him over her shoulder that way. Besides, he hadn't come in close enough for a punch to be particularly effective, considering his legs were longer then his arms. Really, not a very bright genin in terms of close combat. She could only pray that his grasp of ninjutsu or genjutsu was somewhat more developed. With an expression like that of a stoic martyr, the genin joined the majority of the group, who were flocking to the Hokage's office like small birds after crumbs, praying to God on high that she would not be teamed with such an idiotic genin with such bad taste in art.

Leaping the stairs two at a time, Manabi easily located the office of Tsunade, Go Daime Hokage of Konohagakure. Slowly, she slipped the door open and blended with the other pupils before moving closer to one of the other students, another girl. It was then that Tsunade introduced the four sensei. First off, Kakashi, a veritable legend in Konoha and a shoo-in for the next Hokage. On the other hand, his art wasn't all that original except for his Raiken jutsu. Manabi dismissed him without another thought. Shikamaru, she had heard, was brilliant, but his art seemed a bit too limiting to Manabi, and he wasn't exactly the energetic sensei someone of her attention span needed. Haruno Sakura, on the other hand... a medic-nin rumored to have the potential to surpass her mentor, the Hokage? Manabi's hands inadvertently clasped together as she raised another prayer: pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease be Sakura!

At last, the Hokage announced the standings. The moment her name was called after Sakura's, Manabi leapt up, pumping her fist involuntarily. It was only when she realized that apparently Matsuro was the failing genin she had met earlier that her face dropped. Did she have to learn to work with him now? Still, small price to pay for such an amazing teacher. On the other hand, one small thing still bothered her...

Raising her hand, Manabi adressed the Hokage. "Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, but if one team has one member and the other team two, why not have both senseis lead all three genin until other team mates can be found? It makes more sense that way."
 
When Tsunade announced the teams,"Team One: Rock Lee, Tsuki Tenshi, Yasu Miku, and Yuna Handaiyo. Team two: Sakura Haruno, Kakidashi Matsuro, Hanako Manabi, and Ryuken Uria." Kyoto thought,"Please be Kakashi Sensei as he is the great Sensei of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha!" Kyoto listened carefully to the next team," Team Three: Kakashi Hatake, Kyoto Syuku." Kyoto thought,"YES! Wait a minute I have no team mates here."

He heard Hanako Manabi interject,"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, but if one team has one member and the other team two, why not have both senseis lead all three genin until other team mates can be found? It makes more sense that way." He thought," So I might be working with the so called #1 Coward Shikamaru Nara, Katsumi Hoshikaze and Ikimono Koumori they seem like a interesting bunch but I'd prefer solo training with Kakashi-Sensei.

Tsuki honestly didn't care which teacher she got. She never believed rumores and stories told by kids in the academy. It was all just gossip to her. All the stories about the great Kakashi and the Beauty Sakura could've been exaggerated to the point where only the first sentence was true.

However,after Tsunade's announcements of teams Tsuki was left, mouth agape and wide-eyed. By the nods of acknowledgement she could tell who her team mates were and she didn't like it. Not one bit.

'This is so not funny.' For whatever reason she had been placed on the team of those two girls who looked as if they would start a fight. She had heard all the comments andthe ones under their breath including the insult towards her but didn't let it bother her. Plus a bushy-browed teacher who made it so that he was yelling each and everyone of his words. She had visibly cringed when he spoke and not being used to so much energy in the morning made it so she was grumpy right now.

Tsuki tried not to let it bother her and kept an emotionless face during the rest of the speeches. She knew this would turn out bad, it was written all over the place. What on earth could've been going on through their heads when they assigned these teams? If the other ninja didn't get to them first their team mates surely would. If looks could kill everyone would've been long dead by now. Tsuki had never been one to judge a person by their looks but her team mates and sensei all looked like they were ready to unleash a ton of punches and kicks out on someone. Like they drank one too many cups of coffee. Being the normally quiet person she is her presonality was sure to clash with everyone elses.

'I'm putting too much thought into this.' she thought as she brought her hand up to her forehead and massaged it to help get rid of the headache that was forming on her head. Tsuki turned her head once again to look at her team mates, then tried not to be bothered by the looks of their face.

'You can deal with it, you can.' But she knew she couldn't. She could feel bad vibes coming from everywhere.

,"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, but if one team has one member and the other team two, why not have both senseis lead all three genin until other team mates can be found? It makes more sense that way."

'You wouldn't be saying that if you had these guys as team mates.' Tsuki let out a sigh and leaned back against the wall of the Hokage room. She took another glance at her sensei and saw the expression on his face. If not for the fact that she was extremely grumpy this morning she would have laughed. He looked hilarious with that serious face on. At least she could get some amusement from her team.

Miku nearly jumped for joy when she was placed on Rock Lee's team, the taijutsu specialist. That is, however, until she saw two others acknowledge Rock Lee's name. She glowered at the hyper girl and the really short girl. They were her team mates...

"You've got to be kidding me!" she thought to herself, silently stomping her foot onto the ground. She raised her hand half way to object to Tsunade's team decisions but decided against it. Who was foolish enough to question the Hokage? Apparently, a girl by the name of Hanako.

"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, but if one team has one member and the other team two, why not have both sensei's lead all three genin until other team mates can be found? It makes more sense that way." she said, her hand raised high in the air.

"Why don't you mind your business and worry about your team." Miku whispered a little too loudly. She tried to dismiss the statement by quickly scanning the room. As she looked, she noticed the small girl, whose name was Tsuki, examining her with what seemed to be a forced emotionless facial expression. Miku took it as the girl simply admiring her beauty.

She observed Rock Lee with great interest. Aside from the eyebrows and weird hairstyle, he was kind of attractive. Of course, him screaming every word he spoke wasn't exactly a turn on. Miku let out a deep sigh and came to the conclusion that her life was pretty much over.
 
'Oh WHAT?!' Yuna barely even tried to contain her astonishment as she gaped at the girl beside her. This must be some kind of mistake! THAT rude girl? On HER team? There is surely going to be some problems. The short girl she didn't really have a problem with and her teacher seemed nice but...HER?! How on Earth is she supposed to lead a team with that girl giving her the evil eye? Well she can do that too!

Even if she wasn't giving her the evil eye she was going to beat the other girl to the punch. Yuna whipped her head around and gave a ferocious glare to the girl who seemed to be named Miku. ' No one is gonna get the best of Yuna Handaiyo! Nobody!' She would keep this up all day if she had to. Oh she would,she would. From that point on Yuna had declared (in her mind) that Miku was now her official rival. That other girl couldn't possibly competition judging from her looks but Yuna wouldn't underestimate her either. "Ha! I'm so ready for training!" She blurted out and gave a punch to the air.
 
Katsumi gave a little nervous laugh as the Hokage called her out for being late. Her eyes scanned the other genin. She knew none of them. It made her feel a bit isolated, but then again, that was how she always felt.

What a pain...Socializing with others has always been my weak point. My teammate is going to think I'm a freak, Katsumi thought dismally. Katsumi had never had any friends. Her only company had been her stone-faced clan elders constantly training and attempting to perfect her when she was young; when she was her clan's prodigy.. She wasn't to complain, though; she was glad to start her training as a genin. With a heavy sigh she prepared to introduce herself to her new teammate, Ikimono Koumori.
 
OOC: ACC-M, that was to show how he is a novice at taijutsu.

"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, but if one team has one member and the other team two, why not have both senseis lead all three genin until other team mates can be found? It makes more sense that way" Hanabi, Matsuro's teammate had asked. Tsunade lifted herself from her seat and starred straight into Hanabi's eyes.

"Are you questioning my reasons for doing things?" She began, and not waiting for Manabi to reply, she went on, "I don't like being asked why I do something, because it's always for a reason. I especially do not like to be told how to run things. Please leave things as they are...thank you." Tsunade ended, taking her seat yet again.

"To be honest, I wouldn't trust Shikimaru with four people any way, and also, with Kakashi only teaching one student, the genin should be ranking up like a jumping bean." She thought. Just as she sat, even more chaos began. This caused Tsunade to slam both her hands on the table in front of her.

"That is enough. Stop you fussing. Wether you like your team or not does not matter, deal with it. This entire thing has more importance than you could even imagine, so stop fighting and leave with your team." Tsunade sounded as angry as a boar, or even worse. Shizune looked worried, but she kept quiet.

-Matsuro-
Matsuro was shocked at the loudness the Hokage of Konoha had. He immediately walked over to his sensei. Matsuro was anxious to find out what Sakura had for the team. After a while, he figured that the best thing to do was to ignore that girl, Hanabi, as she would distract him from his training. Once he approached the great and beautiful Sakura, he bowed to her and stood next to her, waiting for the other members of the team.

-Koumori-
Koumori was impressed by the Hokage's strong and alpha-dog-like voice. She didn't take a minute to disobey this woman, so Koumori walked over to her sensei, Shikimaru who didn't look to excited for all this, or excited at anything. He just seemed like a slouch. Koumori paid no more attention to this and stood next to him, awaiting her other teammates.
 
Katsumi watched as everyone began drifting twoards their new sensei's, and she figured she might as well, too. She locked all of her nervous emotions in the deepest chamber of her mind and glided over to where Shikamaru Nara stood. He stood hunched over, a cigarette in his mouth.

He seems lazy, Katsumi thought, But first impressions only scratch the surface of a person.

She avoided eye contact with her teammate. She turned on her heel as she approached Shikamaru and landed standing up straight as a board, right next to him. Somehow, though, she had ended up landing on the side where Ikimono stood.

Great, she thought, Introduction time came twice as early than I had expected.
 
"Come my youthful students! Follow me to begin your training!" yelled Rock Lee and he started to parade out of the Hokage tower and into training grounds in the clearing of the forest. He whipped around and stared at his students as if examining them and then gave a grin. "As you all know I am Rock Lee, the leaf village's handsome devil," in which after saying that Yuna stiffled a giggle " I promise to train you harder than you could ever be trained before! There will be no slacking in this group! But before we begin I would like to know more about you. Please state your name,specialties and dreams for the future." After this he gave a thumbs up and pointed to Yuna. " You please start first!"

Yuna straightened up and put on a proud face. " My name is Yuna Handaiyo! I am one of the best ninjas in this village, my specialties are.. my soul flyer justu and I can throw kunai really good! My dreams for the future is to be the best ninja ever and I'll be better then everyone in this village!" she gave a smirk in Miku's direction.

"And with determination and hard work you'll be able to!" Rock Lee exclaimed in his good guy pose. Yuna seemed pleased with his answer. "Now you!" He said pointing towards Miku.
 
"Thank god I'm not with Shikamaru, he would be a disadvantage to the teachings of Kakashi-Sensei," thought Kyoto. Kakashi exclaimed,"Kyoto come here!" Kyoto did as he was told and walked up to Kakashi. He leaded Kyoto to the area where Sasuke and him had trained for the Chuunin exams. Kakashi told Kyoto,"This is where we'll train after a basic test tommorow at 8:00am in the forest."

Kyoto showed up at the forest before 8:00am and a 9:00am Kakashi showed up. "Late as always," Kyoto thought. Kakashi told Kyoto,"This test is to test your tracking ability, you'll have to track me in this forest but don't worry I'll stay in the forest." Then Kakashi disappeared into the forest and Kyoto started looking for traces of him to follow.
 
Miku listened intently to Yuna's answer and could've sworn some of it was directed at her. She was sure of it when Yuna gave her a weird smirk. Miku simply rolled her eyes and turned to her sensei.

"I'm Miku Yasu, of the Yasu clan. My specialty is taijutsu and I've been training in the art of the Leaf Hurricane. I hope you can help me perfect it. My Chakra Absorption Jutsu makes me perfect for ambushes as I can hide in the shadows while slowly feeding off of my enemy's chakra. My dream is to be so good in taijutsu that I can block any incoming weapon, including perfectly aimed kunai." she answered, directed that last part to Yuna.

"Fine answer!" Rock Lee yelled. "I'm the perfect guy to help you with taijutsu! Is that all? Oh wait, I didn't notice you." Lee was speaking of Tsuki.

"Not a big surprise that you missed the quiet little pip-squeak!" Miku thought, smirking to herself.
