Surprised that something was actually in the shadows, Mizu instinctively jolted her body back at the sight of the young pig. She pointed the end of her staff at the boar with a firm grip to keep something between them as she processed the situation in a tired state. Realizing how young the pig...

As Tetsuo situated himself to sleep, Mizu just stared at the fireplace. Shamefully she too would avoid looking at Tetsuo in an attempt to just put what had happened behind them. But as she sat there alone with her thoughts, recounting what had just occurred, a dreadful feeling washed over her...

Time awkwardly dragged on as Katsuro and Tetsuo sat in silence by the fire. Katsuro was hoping that Tetsuo would have tried to get some sleep, but the boy was insistent upon staying awake. He debated about telling Tetsuo to go back to sleep until it was time for his shift, but he was just too...

As Katsuro looked outward beyond the fire, things seemed to be calming down...for the most part. Tetsuo and Haruki argued a bit over the state of the camp, but Katsuro didn't intervene. In his eyes it was best just to let the two of them sort it out. If he jumped into every argument the two...

Having read Haruki's file, Katsuro was somewhat familiar with Haruki's family history. The specifics of what exactly Haruki's family did to arrange their move to the Leaf was left out of the boy's file. All that it really mentioned was that something had been arranged. Katsuro was curious about...

It was interesting to Mizu to hear Haruki's perspective on what life was like in the Land of Lightning. The topic had crossed her mind a few times during the times that she knew him, but she never got around to asking about it. From what he described life under Kumogakure seemed much stricter...

Mizu did find Haruki's story entertaining, even haunting at times. What sent chills through Mizu wasn't the paranormal side of the story. Rather, it was the conditions the miners of the village were forced to live through. Forced to go back down in the coal mines time and time again, even though...

The mood around the camp seemed as bright and as lively as the fire sitting between all of them. It a pleasant change for Mizu. For a good minute or so it seemed like everyone was in good spirits. She even caught Tetsuo of all people smiling and laughing, something she didn't even think that he...

Mizu was just as entertained by their sensei's story as her teammates. She couldn't help but smile at the tale, quietly laughing under her breath at their sensei's petty attempts to justify his actions. It was definitely different than the story Matsuda had spun, up to the point where they got...

An annoyed glare shot up from Katsuro's eyes to Haruki. Just from that small statement alone, he knew exactly what his student was referring to. It was the most embarrassing moment of his career as a youth, after all. And of course, Matsuda was the one that told them about it. He gritted his...

Tetsuo's father a war hero? Mizu looked at Tetsuo, eyes widened by the surprise of such an admission. However, once Tetsuo started in on Haruki, she quickly remembered to turn her gaze to the fire to avoid any unwanted conflict. The somber tone and wording of Tetsuo's conversation hinted at...

Mizu's attention suddenly shifted over to Tetsuo. His father was in the war? In all the time that she had known Tetsuo, not once had he ever mentioned his father was a veteran of the war. Come to think of it, she couldn't recall a time he ever spoke about his father. Curiously she looked back...

"Yeah, he still lives in the village." Katsuro said, leaning his body over onto his right arm to tap the ashes off his cigarette onto the ground below. "Last time I heard he was pushing pencils for the logistics corps. Doesn't really do missions anymore." Like the others, this was the first...

"No." Katsuro replied simply to Tetsuo. "It's in the Northeastern region of the Land of Fire, just 50 miles away from the Land of Hot Water border" He answered for Haruki. "It's kind of an old story, so I'm surprised none of you have heard it. Everyone knew it when I was your age." Katsuro...

Katsuro gave Tetsuo a small nod, his quiet way of letting the kid know that he appreciated the contribution to the firewood. He wasn't expecting any of them to assist with getting the fire going, so it was a pleasant surprise to say the least. With the small size of the fire, the amount of wood...

The path had been relatively easy to follow; A blessing considering how difficult this type of terrain would be to navigate otherwise. There was little navigation Katsuro had to do at the moment. Just keep walking forward with the elephant path. Following his discussion about the chunin exams...

Katsuro slowly eased his pace to an eventual halt, completely turning his body to face his team. He quietly stared in a surprised disbelief at Tetsuo and Mizu standing together in unison. It was the first time he'd seen them openly cooperating with. Not only that, but for Mizu to openly...

The moment Katusro mentioned the chunin exams, Mizu's head bolted up in alarm. It was as if their sensei had read her mind, stating the exact words she didn't want to hear. Katsuro may have been acting like he hadn't made his mind up about it yet, but Mizu doubted that. Everything with their...

"Well, if we have time after this mission we can start taking steps to learn the technique." Katsuro said before taking a whiff of his cigarette, nearly burned to the filter. He exhaled one last cloud of smoke from his nostrils, then tossed what little remained of his cig on and stomped it...

"I'm sure Mizu can attest, but there's nothing soft about bear fur. It's pretty coarse, doesn't feel special to the touch." Katsuro assured Haruki, answering his initial question. Mizu also chimed in to this statement, quietly nodding in agreement with their sensei. "As for what summoning would...
