Stephen Diggs was late, late, for a very important date!

The short-stack reprobate had been chased out of the small garden by, who else, the caretaker, who had taken poorly to the fact that Steve had knocked a bunch of trees apart with a thrown hammer. So he'd packed his stuff and run, leaving behind a crushed soda can and a botanist's worst nightmare.

He was huffing and puffing his way to the training grounds when he overheard a loud cry. All Might. That voice was unmistakable. He stopped, and Listened.

The interesting thing about Air Magic was that sound was carried upon air. To which you might say 'well yes, we know'. But it means that even middling Air Mages were able to catch sounds and read the air currents created by them. Now, Stephen Diggs was no expert, but he did have an area of focus, and that was in the aforementioned sonic applications of Air. His ears didn't prick but they did do rapid intake of the currents, the magic processing its contents, triangulating its location, and narrowing his focus on the offending area all within the space of a second.

One hundred and fifteen meters, left path. Quickest route.

There was... a comment about him being late, to which he quietly said "aw hell naw!" Then a name requirement. Right. He was prepared, and broke back into a sprint. A minute or two later and Steve had made it to the training grounds with only a lack of oxygen and stitch in his side to show for the exertion.

"AIGHT! Made it y'all! I checked the time, right, and it ain't sayin' it's midday, but that's probably 'cause y'all read time weird 'round here." One of the strange things about Stephen Diggs was, aside from the drawl, was the fact that half the time no one knew what he was talking about. "Heard you talkin' 'bout me comin' up. I'm Steve!" Young Steve jammed a thumb into his chest, grinning with endless audacity. "Stephen Diggs!"

Iruvue stretched the sleep out of her muscles and yawned tinnily through her helmet. She had to force herself out of bed this morning, caught deep in dreams about her initiation into the academy. What a great time that was-- the training, the exams, the graduation letter! The best part was the noises that messenger ninja made when Momma caught him trying to sneak a letter onto the property! Even bleeding like a stuck pig, those men could leap-- Iru hoped that when she became an assassin she'd get the chance to go on courier interception duty and be just like Momma. As she walked alongside her groupmates, Iru wondered if they too had good parents who kept them safe, or if they had to make do all by themselves. Iru decided against asking-- they might suss out where she lived if she told them too much, and Momma would get mad if she let anyone trail her back to the house again.

Iru waited patiently for her Sensei to stop fighting the tree. She felt angry at the woods too sometimes, especially when she stepped on brambles. But this man was very mad at the woods! She gawped under her helmet as she imagined the gruesome woodsy tragedies that must have befallen this man, to make him so interested in ruining this tree's presumably peaceful decades of growth. She snapped out of her thoughts when this mighty man stopped hitting the tree, and started talking. As he talked, one of her groupmates came up and started yelling about how late he wasn't. Oh! His name was "Stephen Diggs"! Iru decided she needed to remember that. When "Stephen Diggs" finished talking, she decided she needed to be next.

"Um!" she shouted, her hand shooting up in the air. "I'm Iruvue! Other people call me Pest, 'cos I have stingers like a lot of bugs do, but I like when you call me Iruvue!" She folded her arms, confident. That would ensure people called her by her name.

"Oh, also!" Her hand shot up again, "you hit that tree and broke it. Why?" Through the darkness of her helmet, she beamed innocently.
 
The gleam of sunlight catching on an already plenty flashy all white ensemble, almost giving off a sense of glowing that drew the eye towards it, the unruly mane of jet black hair fluttering in the wind without obstructing the owner's sight or blocking the view for others, six feet, four inches and two hundred and twenty pounds of pure, sharp man. It was hard to miss Gin Santo's arrival as he made his way towards the field.

His stride calm and measured, hands in pockets and neck craning to and fro absentmindedly looking about. Rush? There was no need to rush. He was perfectly, fashionably late to match a needlessly unannounced summons, without being the last one to arrive. That would've looked a bit bad, he had to admit, good thing he was apparently assigned to a rare four person team. What were the odds of that?

His eyes passed over everyone present, lingering on each just long enough to give them a good once-over without staring, meeting their gaze in acknowledgement. Taking stock. He was smiling as gave a slight bow, crossing his legs in good humored manners, hands still at his hips and eyes forward. "Hope I'm not the last one, am I? The name is Gin Santo, pleased to make your acquaintance."

Faye Inzuka~

Faye bites her nails, watching as yumiya runs up the tree. There was no way she would make it way higher than that. Taking a deep vexed breath, she takes a stride up to the large tree. She closes her eyes, clearing her mind if anything that would affect her while climbing. With her eyes sealed shut, mind cleared, she shoots up the tree.

Almost hitting a bird but it’ll be fine. She kept going until she started to feel the gravity pull her back down. She quickly looked around for a branch and grabbed on to it, pulling herself in and taking a seat on the branch and look around at how high she had gotten.

It wasn’t that far, but she was closer to the top of the tree than the bottom. She would assume she made it around 45-50 feet.

“KRAA.”

Is all she heard before a bird slammed into her back, pushing her off of her place on the fairly comfortable branch. Loosing her breath for a second she looks around, shocked at the sudden changes. As she was falling, she swiftly turned over (she so is now falling towards the ground on her stomach.) and before she hits the ground, she places one of her knees in and her other leg out to the side of her, planting her hands on the ground to lessen the fall.

“hmph! Oh, sorry for all of the hubbub guys!” Faye voiced as she stands up, wiping her hands on her skirt. She lowers her head and walks back to her place by the others, kinda embarrassed. She quickly brings her hand up to her mouth and begins biting her nails again.

Gyasi Omari
While en route to meet with the Konoken of Konoha Gyasi had a small issue with Oturan that distracted him. The issue caused him to be late, but he preferred to be late than not show up at all. Walking to the headquarters building was an easy task, but managing to make it to the Konokens office without hitting something wasn’t. Gyasi could find his way through unknown territory, but headquarters kept him on his toes with all the hustle and bustle. He heard papers shuffling, footsteps in different tempos, and loud chatter all around him. Too much chatter actually… Just the sheer amount of noise volume in the building confused Gyasi, so he asked one of the slayers if there was an assistance bar he could hold onto. Not only to hold him steady but as a guide to find his way through all of the bodies moving around in every direction, though he occasionally hit a person or 2 anyways.

Standing outside the boss man’s office Gyasi took a deep breath before walking in. Instantly he smelled the strong scent of pipe smoke that created a dense atmosphere around him. On instinct he wrinkled his nose but instantly stopped once aware, considering how that would look when in direct eyeshot of the Konoken. Only taking a few steps forward Gyasi bowed from the neck to greet the Konoken. He said nothing as the most powerful man in the village spoke with a stern and direct voice; not losing a breathe to remind him of where his presence stood in the village. A small yes sir followed as Gyasi could feel a sweat roll down the side of his face from the nervousness of even be in the same room as him. He subconsciously tensed his shoulders to appear smaller as he listened to who his sensei was going to be from here on. Though he couldn’t see anything the atmosphere was a heavy one even after the Konoken’s voice relaxed for a brief moment. I was starting to think they didn’t want me on a team at all, he thought to himself. Ending the conversation with a bow from the neck, and a soft “Yes, sir” Gyasi practically ran out the door. Swiftly making his way out of the headquarters building he let out a heavy breathe as he was finally able to breath. “What a commanding presence,” He mumbled to himself. "How did the Seishin manage that...?"

Stopping by his place to grab what he could Gyasi moved his finger in midair to create a symbol. The small area became distorted as Oturan manifested from thin air to accompany him towards the gate “C’mon buddy, we’re finally going somewhere.” He grinned. “Haven't met anyone yet, but I was told I need to be on my best behavior.” He chuckled as Oturan jumped around his bed. Leaving his place Gyasi made his way to the village’s East Gate, and was cleared to leave for the first time in what seemed like forever. He wasted no time in accessing Oturans eyes to see the open forest, and even the world outside of the village gates again. He could swear the air was less thick on the other side, but that thought was quickly dismissed by the excitement of meeting his new team.

“Oturan, look for a woman and 2 people please.” He said aloud. Without a second to spare Oturan flew above the forest horizon as Gyasi continued at a steady run with 2 Slayers right behind him. He sensed an unusual amount of spirits just like the time he was escorted into the village, but considering the tailed beast wasn’t riled up by them he eagerly continued on his way.

It took a few minutes for Oturan to scan the area, but the owl spotted 3 people on the trail ahead. Seeing the 3 figures from above Gyasi praised his owl who flew back down to join him “Good job buddy!”. Slowing down before approaching his new teammates Gyasi caught a few breathes of air as he bowed. “Hello, my name is Gyasi Omari, and I’ve been instructed to meet my new team.” He said enthusiastically. “I-” He sensed a large amount of spirits spread out and away from where they were all standing. What the hell?

Kizen Hatake
Kizen looked over his shoulder with a sigh escaping from his lips. Turning around he grabbed a cigarette out of his pocket putting it in between his ear. “You know what? Why don’t ya try that maybe that’ll help him,” Watching Kazume jump out of the water and taking his hoodie then shirt off. Kizen's face palmed and sighed, “So why do you have to take your tops off?” Hearing Kazume’s response, he nodded. “Yeah do it Yumiya, show him the pride of the Hyuga Clan,” Taking the cigarette from his ear he sparked it up. “Make sure you give your eyes a rest for a little while and reactivate them again when you feel it is right. Don’t overdo it. Okay?” He said to Yumiya.

“You three are on your own for a little bit. I gotta scout the area and gather us something to eat. Make sure you stay on your toes and watch each other's backs.” He turned to look up towards Faye. “I’ll be back! Make sure you watch over the others till I return!” He shouted. “Alright I’ll be back before night falls, don’t kill each other you two.” He flash stepped away.

Kizen landed on a bush releasing the smoke from his mouth; he held his face with his left hand, using the other to press against a tree. Taking his hand off from his face he looked around the forest checking for any spirits. Jumping from branch to branch he scanned the area outward and around the camp spot. There he spotted an aggressive spirit attacking a deer, Kizen jumped down from the branch pulling his Nichi weapon out, cutting its head off. Watching the spirit turn to black ash that floated to the sky.

“The spawning of these aggressive Spirits is getting worse by the day,” Taking the cigarette out of his mouth and releasing smoke. “What the hell is really going on?” He looked up towards the sky. “Father times are getting scarier from when you were around.. You were right, random is terrifying.” He flash stepped away from the scene heading towards the river at the bottom of the waterfall. There he made himself a makeshift fishing rod from the natural material around him; there he started his fishing while smoking. “I better catch a lot, those three are working hard after all, or I hope so.” He would spend the rest of the day here while the others trained.

Kazume Takeshi
fcf256725088972333c114a0e3cca049.jpg
This whole mana controlling thing was important, but Kazume just couldn’t understand why he couldn’t tame it. I need to relax, what the hell am I doing? Kazume floated at the bottom of the pond seeing the reflection of the sky. Motioning his body into a backflip he swam up to the top of the water.

Kazume swam to land trying to dry himself off from being soaking wet. Shaking his head, getting the water out of his hair and squeezing his shirt to get the mass of water out. Kazume decided to take his shirt off casually tossing it to the side. His body was muscular, but not as toned as a grown man. He was still young. The others would notice that when water touches Kazume’s hair it slightly spikes up instead of flattening, strange boy. His necklace dangling from his neck, it shined bright from the reflection of the sun.

Kazume turned his attention towards his sensei. ‘Man why does he even care? Just don’t look!’ He titled his head and smirked. “Huh? Jiraya always told me that, the more clothes taken off during training the easier it gets! He says your body feels limited with clothes.”

Placing his shirt and hoodie nicely on the green grass to air dry. He wiped his forehead with his arm. Looking back over to Kizen Sensei, Kazume’s eyes darted at the man, “Wait, what do you mean by that? It won’t hurt right?” Kazume crossed his arms, pouting his face, until he decided to glance at Yumiya. You know, coming to take a second glance at her she was pretty cute. Kazume blushed and shifted his eyes off into the cosmos. “So, what’s this whole mana reset thing?”

He waved at Kizen Sensei watching him leave from the area. “Alright don’t worry I’ll take care of the fort, Kizen Sensei!” Kazume turned his attention back to Yumiya giving her a calm look. “Go easy on me alright? I don’t wanna be out of it alright?” He smirked, “I’m just kidding, give me your best shot!” He flexed his muscles and abs preparing for whatever to come his way, he kept an eye closed.

Mira Atobi
Mira watched as her students enjoyed themselves with the peaceful spirits. This lesson although small at glance, but very pivotal. Not every spirit was like this, and they definitely care not towards humanity. Mira felt differently than others, she wasn’t fixated on killing spirits and rather will teach her students the sealing arts, and only to kill them if it is completely necessary. She felt this way because of her two companions. They showed her a brighter light to Spirits then others could not.

Placing a hand on Getsumei’s head giving it a gentle pat. She had the right idea, even though they looked harmless Spirits are still spirits. They choose at a whim to destroy humans, which was stopping the smaller ones from doing the same. Mira knew these answers. She felt an aura closing by, it was not a spirit, yet a weak source of mana. She closed her eyes using Mana sensing to detect three spirit slayers approaching, now that she was mentally locked onto her target; Mira shifted and used Aura Sensing feeling the intentions and purity of their hearts, this was a symbol they were allies. Though she couldn’t be sure, as enemies cloaked themselves as an ally only to crumble the leaf. Mira’s eyes now darting towards the direction of the three who approached. There was a magic power coming from one of the three that was abnormally larger than the average person.

Watching the small owl hover over the area and leave the scene she continued to watch, making sure she monitored everything that was going on, hardly ever moving a muscle to not startle her students. Watching closely as three Spirit Slayers emerged, the blonde haired spirit slayer Jane, and her long time partner Sprint Togger. They were a few years younger than Mia and were of Archmage ranks. This meant the boy with the blindfold on was speaking about Onen. She knew that Lord third had instructed her to keep a close eye on him and she knew why. From the look and attire he sported was cultural to the Country of Water. His ears were pointy which gave off the hint of him being an elf. Mira stopped analyzing, giving her stern look away, breaking out into a smile.

“Well then, aren’t you a quick one huh? You ran all the way here and almost died before you ever got to go on your first mission. Haha ~ welcome to Team Nine. I’m sure Lord Third informed you slightly on what we’re doing?” She cuffed her chin with one hand, moving the other off of Getsumei’s head. “We’re headed out to a nearby village to help with a spirit attack. Nothing crazy, just some clearing out to do. Assuming you came all of this way I’m sure you’re ready to be removed of your shackles?” Mira winked at Gyasi, “I’ll take care of things from here, thank you two for bringing him all the way out here.”

“Of course.”
“Of course m’lady.”

The two took off into the trees, returning back to the village to await Gyasi's return. With both hands on her hips Mira watched the two scatter off. “Well then,” She turned her attention back to Gyasi, “So what’s a stranger from the south side doing out here huh?” She rubbed the top of his head, “I’m only kidding. Gyasi Omari huh? Well I’m Mira Atobi! These two are Getsumei Watabe, and Isshin Yotsuba.” Gekko and Dekko sissed at Gyasi. “Woah you two relax, he means no harm,” Their eyes glowing bright ruby red. ‘They really are disturbed by the three tails, I’ll have to seal them away for now,’ She gave the two a side eye.

Mira raised her right hand up to her chest. Motioning her index and middle finger up extended, the other fingers are curled into the palm. “Release!” The two snakes phased into her body completely merging themselves into her, turning into tattoos on her body. “Don’t worry about them, they get a little antsy.” She scratched the back of her head laughing awkwardly. ‘So I’ve finally started my team. Mom, dad watch over me and my students please. I promise to guide these three, to the future!’ She smiled looking off towards the sun. “Well then everyone let’s get going then! We got some ground to cover. Like I told the other two Gyasi, you’re a part of a family now, you make sure you protect your family, got it?” She smiled looking over her shoulder.

“You can show us what you got when we get to a suitable spot,” She gripped onto the straps of her backpack. Mira led the group onward deeper into the forest, they followed a pathway being surrounded with beautiful spirits and animals. They walked for a few more miles until reaching a cliff side. She reached her arm out to stop Gyasi from walking off. “We’ve made it, we’ll stay here for now. Make sure you watch your step. Meet me on the other side!” She said jumping over the cliffside onto the other side of the massive lake. She placed her bag against a tree, pulling out a scroll and placing it on the floor unraveling it.
22e2eb76f544410bba4e3e616901ce30.jpg

Mira raised her right hand up to her chest. Motioning her index and middle finger up extended, the other fingers are curled into the palm. “Release!” The smoke emerged from the scroll summoning two tents. Mira ran up a tree scattering off into the forest going to collect supplies for the night. “GET YOURSELF COMFORTABLE TRAINING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN YOU THREE!!” She shouted out to her youngling while she jumped through the branches of the very tall trees.

All Might

A boy with black hair came bolting from the forest nearly out of breath though enough energy to still shout his introduction. The six foot three man laughed hard with his fist placed on his hips. Abs shining from the sweat dripping down his body, the group would feel a bit of heaviness in the wind around them. Not knowing where it came from the best assumption was from All Might. He smiled bright at each of his young students.

“Is that so huh? Stevey boy we’ll call ya! My mighty voice touched your YOUTHFUL ears huh? You’re a flower ready to blossom! We will start with your training right away!!!!” Sparkles in his eyes towards Steve, he looked over to Gin and shook his hand. “Yes you looked filled with the will of fire as well! Nice to meet you Gin!” Taking a step back he looked over to the young, well he assumed woman due to the helmet covering their face. They raised their hand ready to speak. “Ah yes pes- Iruvue nice to meet you! Yes you have a lovely stinger, does it do anything cool?!” He coughed for a moment. “Now that all of you have gathered, we should announce one thing. You’ve all graduated from the academy putting your time and effort to push through the intensity of school work! Dreading! Though your path does not get easier nor does it end here! Everyday you will push your body to its utmost limits!!! And when your body is broken down we will train to build it back up!! You are assigned to a four man team meaning we will go on harder and longer missions than others around your age! My job is to make sure you knuckleheads-“ He was cut off when Iruvue decided to speak up again. His face had a goofy expression while he laughed out loud. “Ah yes the ferocious tree! It decided today it will show me the result of its YOUTH! We spared and I ended up going too far you see! Nothing the less though! We shall start with the mission, I hope you brought your stuff!”

He shuffled around in his back pocket pulling out a cotton ball, leftover protein bar he made, spare change, and finally a crumpled up paper. “Ah here we go!” Unraveling the paper he decided to read the contents on the letter. “Well then you four and myself, will be venturing towards the west to Yunyou village. There we will help with their overgrowing Spirit problem, then from there we have to deliver supplies over the mountain side to a nearby town that just formed. After all that , we return home. The journey will be long and we might not come back for a while, but when we do you all will be so strong that the others won’t even recognize you! So what do you say?! Team 10 on their first mission huh?!” His statement was a long shot, but he was serious on them returning home, even if it meant he would have to sacrifice himself!

Iruvue blinked. Her sensei had not only called her a pest and she had very specifically asked not to be called one. He had brazenly propositioned her right in front of all his other students-- but Iru already knew from Momma that city-scum would be like that. But that last point struck her like a lightning bolt.

So this one was trying to fight a tree? And they were fighting because the tree wanted to? That was impossible-- truly impossible. Confusion buzzed madly in her head, the facts of the matter colliding with eachother like furious bees. The other details of their mission were forced out to make room for the tremendous leaps in logic she'd have to commit to rationalize what All Might had just said. Her mind reached out in hopes of finding something, anything that could fit this man's worldview into hers. What kind of person would... ah-ha!

"Oh! I gotcha! You're like Sister Bagworm, and you got little voices in your head!" Iruvue beamed, as innocently and bluntly as falling scaffolding. "Well don't you worry, Sensee! My momma got a really good way to fix that, and I remember how she does it!" Iruvue thumped her chest proudly, excited to put her education to the test. This would be a long, painful experience for her teacher, but she was confident she could fix what was wrong with him with enough love and care.

She turned to one of her comrades, a man in all-white with big black hair, and stared at him as seriously as one can through the visor of a potmetal helmet. "You!" she barked, "I'm gonna need you to help me! You prepared to go beyond and above the call to help your Sensee out?! We gotta do the mission-- uh, whatever it is-- and save Sensee from hisself!" Iruvue's hand shot out, offering a firm comradely handshake-- a request for help, an attempt to connect, but most importantly a test of her teammate's mettle.

Stephen Diggs performed a comical step-back twisted face expression of extreme, sudden shock, common to overexcitable teenagers that had no intention of growing into mature, taciturn men. "WHOA!" he exclaimed.

There was a brief interlude of silence before Steve's voice barreled through it like a freight train in an electronics boutique.

"Mister Mighty Man's got voices in his head? Well how-dee I got a few o' those as well!" he eloquently explained at damn near maximum volume. "Normally they're sayin' stuff like 'don't eat that' or 'don't stick a rope on a hammer' and mama once said it was my con-cheese-yents but ain't no voice tellin' me not to do the fun stuff gonna have any say in my day t' day y'know what I'm sayin'?"

The entire high-speed ramble had taken only seconds to metaphorically vomit up. Allergic to, or perhaps mortally terrified of silence, Steve spoke again. "But yeah naw like if his voices are saying," and his voice became excessively gruff and deep here, "'Go punch trees'," back to normal, "ain't right to say 'HEY, DON'T PUNCH TREES', aight? 'S all about doin' the fun stuff and beatin' the everlovin' snot out of a piece o' wood. Like the fella who looks after Tranquil Garden ain't so happy with me right now 'cause I was throwin' a hammer into trees this mornin', so, like, it's aight Mister Mighty Man I totally get it!"

Yumiya Hyuga

Yumiya nodded her head as her sensei told her to show Kazume the pride of the Hyuga clan. "I know my limits, once I show him I'll deactivate it for a little bit." She replied as Kizen disappeared into the forest leaving the group alone. Now, should I aim for the torso or not? She thought to herself closing her eyes for a moment. Debating on the ways she could do this but she came to the conclusion that it would be best to strike him in the stomach.

Her thinking was interrupted as Kazume now spoke to her, she brought a hand up to her chin as she spoke. "Well to your first question you will have to wait and find out. That would ruin the surprise and point of all of this," she explained as she looked over at him. Though she didn't understand the need for him to take off his shirt she figured there were other things to be concerned about. "Well it's not really a mana reset either, to be more precise it's a fighting style that is incredibly precise. So precise you need the Yakugan to be able to make much use of it." She concluded as she took a few steps forward so that she was now within arms reach.

Taking a fighting stance she had her palms open as if she was going to make a flight strike with the palm of her hand. "Now I will show you the most basic move that I learned when I was young. Mana strike." She stated as her right hand struck a point in his stomach and then her other hand hit another in his stomach as well. Closing off the mana point for a period of time as she forced mana into the point to block it off from the others.
Deactivating her Yakugan, she dusted her hands off before speaking, "That is the pride of the Hyuga clan, we call it gentle fist style. We release pinpoint strikes of mana through our hands. Though you can die if you get struck in the chest too many times with it." She explained as she made sure not to strike any points in his chest.

Faye Inzuka~

“okay!” She yelled happily as she hopped down from the tree again. After hearing sensei’s instructions for the other two, she walked over to look at other parts of the forest, making sure not to wonder off to far. The flowers glistened in the sunlight, causing little sparkles to appear on the petals. The trees where tall and lanky. The grass, green and covered with dew. She found herself in front of a small flower. The petals of which where bright yellow and orange.

She brought her hands down to slightly lift the bottom of her dress as she knelt down to examine the flower closer. the smell consumed her smell. It smelt similar to a honeysuckle, but more like a lily. Lily, hmm. A beautiful name. She’d name her child that.

She reaches out to pluck the flower from its comforting place between two large green leafs. She smiles and places it behind her ear, the smell still very present. She stands up, dropping her dress back down to her feet. Faye still heard the sounds of the two talking to she walks a bit further. Seeing so many flowers she wanted to pick she started to become overwhelmed, her heart beating fast in her ears.

With a sigh, she turns around and heads towards a tree that had a large root coming from out of the ground, it had a large loop in the middle. Big enough for Faye to fit in. She walks over and sits inside, looking out into the field of flowers she had come from. Ever so often listening for the two. She smiled and took a deep breath, sinking into the tree more.

Gin just stood there, unmoving, letting his would-be teacher speak a whole lot of words while unblinkingly looking him dead in the eye. As soon as the speech was over he was back to gazing up and down, left and right, here and there, mane whipping to and fro in the wind with every turn of his neck. Whether he had heard anything at all was questionable. Then his teammates exploded into their own diatribes, the man Steve saying his piece before Santo could even answer when spoken to. So it happened. A hearty, but soft, sensibly contained chuckle. No belly laughs here, that would just be unseemly.

Matched with a gang of brutes and weirdos of stunted development, how exciting! He looked at Iruvue as if seeing her for the first time when she held out her hand, and he made a point to take the slightest step back to keep the distance between them. Still he gently took her fingers into his own, ignoring the stated potential threat of stingers, and bent slightly as to make eye to eye (?) contact. "It is a pleasure, but please, no touching". He let go of the girl's (?) hand. "Still you are right, success should be our priority. I think that man will be fine, he is simply training wrong and trying to show off. Sadly common."

Gin spoke with the flat, unerring confidence of one simply reciting facts, and he would need way more than what he had seen if he was to call someone a term as important as sensei. He hadn't learned a single thing yet! He pulled his hands back to his waist, and his gaze went back and forth between Steve and All Might. "If you are in need of assistance, perhaps you ought to stay behind? Health is important after all."

“That’s not fair.” He responded stretching his body out preparing for whatever Yumiya had instored for him. “Your Yakugon is pretty handy, it comes with so many cool features, makes me wish I was a Hyuga.” He rested his arms behind his head and smiled. Then he realized what she said“Wait wait wait what?!” Before he could even get a question to spit out Yumiya shifted into her stance hitting him directly in the gut, it felt like a sword pierced right through him. Suddenly he felt weak in his stomach. Kazume gripped onto it tightly. Nothing felt different but the pain from the attack. Kazume coughed up a bit attempting to catch his breath.

“Some pride you Hyuga’s have.” He struggled to say. Kazume got up to his feet dusting himself off. “Well that sure as hell hurts, I don’t notice anything different let me try standing on the water.”

Kazume ventured back over to the pond taking a deep breath to control his breathing. Closing his eyes he slowly took a few steps onto the water’s surface. He smiled although his walk was very shaky. At least it was an improvement. Now attempting to stand still on the calm water he focused on emptying out his mind and focusing on his mana flowing to his feet. This time was able to stand over the water a lot longer; until the water started to rile up and he fell in. Swimming back up to the top he wiped his face with his hand looking over to Faye. She seems to be at peace, something about her and nature fit perfectly. Kazume couldn’t figure out why yet. Swimming back over to Yumiya.

“It sure did sort of help, but I’m sure it’s going to take some practice to get it right. So what do you think about the team so far? I think Kizen sensei is pretty cool, he doesn’t talk to us much, but I’m sure he’ll come around.”

Kazume looked up at the tall tree. “We should spar, ya’know, to help each other with training,” He blushed, “I mean if you don’t want to It’s all good.” He said awkwardly.

Faye relaxing while resting in a tree. A gust of wind would hit the area of the three teens vacant. A voice could be heard following the trail of wind only could be heard by Faye.

“Fa-“ Is all she could depict from the voice that quickly passed by. It felt as if the forest was calling for Faye, but she knew that she mustn't leave the area without sensei’s approval. So the thought should be dismissed for now. Strange event.

All Might
7bd32c3dd1c9a655945f56fb5d128424--character-reference-character-concept.jpg

All might’s had a stupid look on his face while he tried to figure out who the hell is sister bagworm. What he came to the conclusion was that this was simple buganese and he could not translate. Then she mentioned he had voices in his head and then Steve joined in on basically calling All Might insane.

“Now what are two exactly going on about? I don’t have voices in my head, you fools!” He laughed out loud, Gin mentioned him having voices which made him laugh even harder. Iruvue wanted to fix All Might’s allegade mental illness. “Yeah sure, let's see what you got sport! Free me of these foul vermin voices that clogged my judgement in harming a tree! It’s almost unbearable really, you guys can’t hear em?” He joked. Giving a thumbs up to steve and a wink with a smile showing off his pearly white teeth; attempting to look cool. “THAT'S THE SPIRIT STEVE, I CAN SEE THAT YOUR YOUTH IS JUST IN ITS SPRING! I like you already kid!” He nodded.

“Oh Gin you're an interesting fellow aren’t you?” He smiled, “I see potential in you, but something very crucial is stopping you from tapping it. Yes, I’m sure of it.” All might said looking off into the sky. “You know, I’m going to be honest with you all, this world is not forgiving. You will see things you wished was a nightmare, but beyond the darkness remember one thing! There is always a light to guide you forward!!! So about my mental health, I’m fine thank you for the concern. So I’m guessing you guys want to get some training in before we set out on our trip huh?” He jumped back from the group to gain some distance and got into a martial arts fighting stance. “Let me see what each of you got so I can best assess your capabilities, and place each of you under unique training regiments! I won’t go easy on any of you.”

Shiruba Bangu

Bang_Anime[1].png

The travel was quiet. Normal. No ambushes, no explosions in the distance. The sky is clear and the land is peaceful. It truly is a far cry from the times back then when everywhere you look was engulfed in total chaos. But this is nice. Yes, nice is the right word. To Shiruba, it hammers the point that every little ounce of misfortune and heartache was worth the result, even if it does leave a bitter taste in his mouth from time to time.

To see this peace, it was good in his eyes. But he could feel this longing within his heart. A deep, near-silent growl of annoyance at the sight of it all. He was and will always will be a warrior before a teacher; and before that an old man who's tired of it all. As much as he appreciates the peace, deep down he longed for battle; knowing that when it was all over and when he would finally bite the dust not in his deathbed but on the field, he would be greeted by everyone he ever knew and love with a rousing warcry. Gods above and below, he misses everyone. His family, his past students, by the hells even the bastards he killed too. He missed them all.

While he continues to ruminate on the paradox of life, he got to know a bit about his travel companion. New generation Slayers are always a welcome sight but sometimes they can be a bit gung-ho about doing the job. Little to no patience. But, who was he to judge? People would call him a hypocrite if he started now. So he engaged in small talk and light ribbing to pass the time.

Before long, a surprising thing occurred. One of Saru's little shadows came by and relieved his current partner before introducing themselves. "Shina, huh? Well, if Saru wants to send one of his little shadows to assist me, then who am I to refuse. Welcome aboard then! Come on, we've got day light to burn and a wide stretch of road to cover." He gestures with a quick flick of his hand before bursting away in the same pace he and his previous companion were in; expecting the new arrival to keep up with no trouble at all. As they both raced across the distance, he took the time to observe the girl.

Armed and armored. Face hidden behind a mask. Looks young for her age. Talented and skilled most likely. From the patches of skin he could spot, pale but not deathly so thus he could gander a guess that she hails from some of the more established families back home. Oh she'll be a treat. "So, if you wouldn't mind this old man from asking, why has the old coot got the need to send one of you on a milk run with me? And to think I was warming up to the little miss I was with before, spirited girl she was despite all the ice from what I could see. She forgot to pay the bills and pick up the groceries before heading out?" He asked lightly, but he gave the girl a quick side-eye expecting her to pick up the little back and forth and reply accordingly. After all, no one wants other people to know what the hells you are talking about especially out here.

"Anyway, we're going to a quaint little town, Con'mora. Lovely place this time of year. I heard they got a bunch of fish, I heard from ol' Hama that they're selling 10 snappers, in the 'mora market today---we've better be first to snap up as much as we can since the town doesn't normally get fish so they're all a little pricey; don't worry now, since we're local we'll get a good discount for the sale. Though we'd have to be careful since the fish might have spoiled so we're also gonna have to help dispose of 'em when we buy 'em." He continues on.

"Thinking about it, it's not so lovely now---the town I mean, since there's a bunch o' demons walking about. Nasty stuff that needs taking care of. Besides that, the town's got a rat infestation and we're gonna have to deal with 'em for the good people. No one wants rats near their homes after all. So we're gonna have to look for the nest, exterminate most and cage a few." He snorts, "A simple little job, if I can say so myself! So, any thing you might want to add or ask, little missy?"

Isshin Yotsuba

Screenshot_2018-01-25-21-59-30-1[1].png

Team 9 is certainly a different experience for Isshin. Far, far different from the Academy and the environment of his family's own teachings. The devil-may-care attitude of his sensei was strange and yet he could not help but appreciate that despite her apparent bubbly attitude, she really wanted to make the team work and even teach them a thing or two; especially when she introduced her own personal spirits to the team. His teammate, well current teammate due to the other not yet arriving apparently, was odd. Just as odd as he. Yet he could see that they could work well together, all he had to do was put in the effort as he would always do in everything he does.

He dutifully followed his team out of the village. The trees passing them by in a blur. Here they were, out in the big wide world. Their first true step as Slayers. It didn't take long before sensei told them that their first lessons would begin. She asked them to feel their surroundings. To empty the mind and let the world flow through them. And so he did with little difficulty. His senses expanded and the world grew tranquil in his opinion. It feels like he could hear even the tiniest drop of water in the distance and see the smallest ant. To Isshin, it felt like the world was both everything and nothing at the same time.

As he opened his senses to the world, he noticed that something was amiss. There! He spots tiny little spirits, Omi as sensei called them, surrounding them. Cute little things, he would bet all that he owned little Kaguya would adore them to death. Like the colors of a rainbow they arrayed themselves before the team. Their eyes alight with curiosity before some of them turned away and left to do whatever it is they do with their time, but some stayed and watched them in the same cute curious stares. So peaceful.

The peaceful atmosphere broke when people came by upon them. Members of the village from the looks of it and apparently the new member of Team 9 too. Gyasi Omari? Isshin nodded and raised a hand in greeting as he took in the image of his new teammate, "Hello, as sensei said, I'm Isshin Yotsuba. Let's do our best together."

It is interesting to see someone who has covered their eyes move in such precise way, an ability or technique perhaps? One of these days, he should have a talk with the guy and trade notes, something like that would work wonders for his flying.

Before he could delve deep down the rabbit hole of learning, Mira-sensei called for the team to a clearing with a lake and tiny falls. Ah, it would be a sweet place to fly around in when he gets the chance. But for now, training. He turns to his sensei who vanishes amongst the treetops. He was ready, he is ready. They were all ready for this. After all, they've gone this far, no way would they fail on the first day of the job.

Shina Hiyuga
Seeing the woman off Shiruba led the way towards Con’nomra Town, the scenery always was enjoyable to take in; even with a mask on. Her silk violet hair flowed in the wind as she ran with her arms flailing behind her. Her Nichi Weapon was a katana with a purple flower garment hilt. When they were deep enough into the forest the two would take to the trees. Leaping from branch to branch the scenery now was a simple blur due to the speed they were going. She gave Shiruba a side eye hiding her face under the mask Shina remained silent. The sound of their feet pressing against the wood was the only sound that could be heard, plus the wind rustling the tree’s. Giving him a quick glance, everything that was spoken about him was true; although age takes its affects he still holds a strong stratus.

After some time of leaping Shiruba caught Shina’s attention which made her look towards him while traversing through the branches. She shook her head in response to not minding at all, turning her attention back forwards. “I apologize I don’t meet your standards, I only was given orders to take the mission instead of her..” She said looking off into the distance trying to find a way out of talking with the older man. Then he caught her attention again with his smooth wording. “Yes, her “dog” (Huzen) came out of its pound as well. Too many leaves been plucked from their branches, said the perhaps is playing fetch right now.” She said jumping from a branch skipping over one to land on another and repeat.

“You shop regularly at Hama’s Shop?” She said gently as they traversed the trees. Shina nodded at the comment about no one wanting rats near their homes. Which was true, but her main concern is what exactly hapoened to their fallen comrades. Looking back over she opened her mouth, “It’s almost like the peace these lands dreamnt of is slowly coming to an end. If it’s true demons are truly infesting the town, then I fear another Great War coming. Not only that the country of Rock won’t stop their pursuit…” A omi that reassembled a Raven flew down by Shina, “See if you can find us a place to vacant at,” the omi nodded flying off.

“Kraw!”

“They’ll find us a remote spot for us to rest. I’ll commence scouting phase please protect me.” She said closing her eyes activacting Aura Sense. Nothing in a nearby radius from the two were any hostile considering they had just left the village’s barrier. She looked back over to Shriuba now with her eyes opened, tilting her head to the side. “This isn’t my place to ask, but what is it that Lord Third trusts you so much. I mean I know the legends are true considering your still kicking.” The end of her sentence her voice got softer. The two were quickly approaching an open area in forest, “Yakugan!” Veins around her eyes popped up as she had clear 360 vision around her, stretching a 80 mile radius.

“We have a group of five aggressive Spirits, one on the verge of becoming a demon it looks like. Im not quite sure, but it’s massive compared to the others! Keep your eyes sharp. They’re 12 o’clock, and another group spotted 6 o’clock. We’re approaching the 12 o’clock group now, the others will reach us if we don’t end this quickly.” She stressed to Shiruba. Finally there was a massive gap in the tree’s. At the bottom four bears that were about 7 feet tall, in a circular shape to protect a 15 foot sized bear with horns sticking out of it’s head. The massive bear pierced it’s teeth in the neck of it’s victim, tearing the limbs apart, the smaller ones watched waiting for their turn.

The two’s arrival caught the bear’s attention, perching their heads up towards the two it wasn’t long until the massive bear roared loudly. Shina covered her face with her arms from the sheer force coming from the roar. “How could these type of spirits have gotten so close? What should we do Lord Shiruba?”

Pulling her Nichi weapon out, Shina deflected a stray beam that was shot by one of the fodder bears; aimed towards Shriuba of course. Her Yakugan was still activated.

The massive bear rose on its two back paws, raising its head toward the two spirit slayers. Picking up on the scent of both, a massive roar belged from the bottom of his belly, creating strong gust of winds; so strong some sharp blades of wind cutting the branch they stood on, causing a separation between the Shiruba Bangu and Shina Hyuga. The bear let out a less powerful but loud roar, sending the smaller ones to hunt down each of them. It sat down on its behind continuing to mawl out the lifeless corpse of another large spirit.

e551ca2d27a5df5ffa59c6333021f3df.jpg

Landing smoothly out of the way of the last attack, Shiruba will be soonly greeted with two, seven foot tall bear spirits. At a closer look each of the bears had unique black and blue markings that stretched through their entire body, one glowing eye, and blood stained paws. They definitely were on their way to becoming demons, this was a situation that could put them at a slight halt; considering they still had the bigger one to deal with. Both reeking of death and the urge for bloodshed, they were no longer controllable.

Slowly circling Shiruba each of them growling and snorting at the old man, nearly drooling rapidly over the thought of feasting on him. Bear 1 ran up at top speed.

Bear 1; The bear sported a darker brown fur, which made it harder to depict the markings on its body. One front claw that was bigger than the other. He had small horns in his head and blacked out lips. His tongue dangling from the mouth. Opening it’s mouth the bear decided to lunge straight towards Shiruba, the larger claw glowed a bright red. The bear attempted to swing rapidly in a frenzy at Shiruba trying to cut him. Instead it continued to miss cutting multiple trees down and slashes in the ground. Now getting angrier, slamming the ground with both claws creating a quake in the ground beneath them.

Bear 2; The bear that was in the image is exactly what she looks like. Her right eye glowed white and gave off a small fog effect. The roars from her were just as mighty as the male bear spirit. Lunging after Bear 1 attempting to help the fray of attempting to kill Shiruba, nearly almost getting a hit off on him, but he was just too much for the both of them.

Yumiya Hyuga
unnamed45.png
Yumiya deactivated the Yakugan as the veins around her eyes became normal; she was nearly at the limit that she would start to strain her vision if she had it active for any longer than she did. So taking a few minutes to let her eyes rest was good as she walked over to a shaded area before speaking. "You wish you were a Hyuga? You do realize the amount of training we go through, right? I started to learn mana control from a very young age; it wasn't like I had a lot of time to play." Yuimiya replied with a hint of venom in her voice; she was sick of people always thinking how nice it must be to be a Hyuga. It was a lot of work, getting struck multiple times a day honing a craft that meant your very survival.

Folding her arms across her chest, she now turned to face Kazume as he mentioned standing on the water, "I wouldn't advise that, but it might work," she replied, still slightly annoyed as a string had been plucked. However, she was surprised that his mana control was better than before. I mean, I saw his mana before it was fighting one another I suppose the few points he has, the more stable it will be? She theorized in her head, looking down at the ground before returning her attention to her teammates. "Yeah, it's still strange, though, but at least it's better than earlier," she agreed as any hint of venom in her voice was gone now as she let out a sigh rubbing her eyes.

Yumiya looked up at the sky for a moment before nodding her head, "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to think about the team yet; we seem to have our strengths Faye seems to be a ranged fighter. You seem to be close combat, and I'm flexible with my range, so I guess it balances out," she admitted to the group as she heard Kazume mention a spar. "Well, I suppose that wouldn't hurt, though don't expect me to hold on to my punches," she stated, walking into the center of the clearing.

Faye Inzuka~

Faye feels the breeze flow around her. It was warm and cold. The air was thin, but breathable. She felt it get faster for a moment, and she swears she heard her name be called. She looks around, her hand placed on her bow. Nothing. As much as she wanted to, she shouldn’t leave the others. Sensei’s orders. She takes a deep breath and pulls herself out of the tree stump. She catches her balance and grabs her flowers off the ground. Her ears perk up as she hears kazume wince. Listening closer, just incase it’s a false alarm, she hears the twos voice. It was cheerful, not Panicky.

She started to miss her parents. She wondered what they would be doing right now. Her mother would probably be making dinner for her father while he works outside with the other men. While they weren’t her real parents, they raised her from a child. She could trust them. Anyways, she looks around once more, she sun was hitting the middle of the sky, indicating it was noon.

She adjusts her dress and bow, beginning her stride back to the others. This path did not look like the one she had just come down. It was twisted differently. When she first walked, the trees where open and filled with sunlight. Now, they are gloomy and broken. Maybe that was just her mind playing tricks on her. She brushed it off. She listened closely and followed yumiya’s voice. Soon letting out her breath as she reaches her destination.

She takes a seat on a large root farther from the two as they spar, intrigued at each of their powers.

Kazume Takeshi
mynameistuv mynameistuv saxon saxon
The Sky was still beautiful and bright out seemingly much time had passed since they arrived to the sight. The constant laps on the trees and standing on water, was tiring. The two girls decided they would get a short rest while the young man continued his training. Kazume was always relentless when it came to becoming the strongest. He didn’t know how he would get it, but he wanted it. He wanted to change this world for the better and end all wars. Kazume didn’t really understand why Spirit Slayers hunted down spirits, if they were peaceful. Class might’ve been telling them all a foolish lie. Perhaps…

Seemingly enough Team 7’s warming up was going shaky. Kazume couldn’t figure out how to crack each of their defensive barriers. Considering Kazume was just a orphan who had no true family, he didn’t know what it was like to be considered royalty. Dining and dashing, hunting, cooking, being bought food, etc; Kazume and Jiraya made a way of life for themselves. Respectfully Kazume felt like they were both snotty brats that could get taught a thing or two. He had to snap out of this trance that they were girls, pretty ones at that! He couldn’t really decide between the two he would potentially try to make his girlfriend; something very important to him and Jiraya.

It was best that he got to try to know each of them to best choose. Man what a complex life of being the only guy on the team huh? Like he swore before he’ll keep his word, they will make it too the top!

After listening to Yumiya’s snappy first inquiry about him wishing to be a Hyuga because of their Oculus gifts, Kazume looked over his shoulders with squinched eyes. He only felt that way because he didn’t have any cool family traits, matter a fact he didn’t know his family at all. Jiraya of course was his mentor and father figure for the most of his life; though it wasn’t hard to notice with all the obvious signs they weren’t related. Kazume rubbed it off without feeling the need to explain why.

“Have some faith in me, I got this!” Kazume responded to Yumiya’s second inquiry. After flawlessly flaunting his new progress being able to better control his mana. It was thanks to her blocking off one of his points, surely enough Kazume took mental note on how his body felt before and after Yumiya hit his point. Also remembering the stance she took, and how she struck him.

“Yeah I get you.” Kazume responded to the mention of the team, taking a glance at Faye. Man was he lucky to have two of the prettiest girls in his class. Kazume rested his arms behind his head and whistled, waiting for Yumiya’s response; and sure enough she was quick with one. Thankfully she wasn’t agitated like earlier, the last thing he wanted was to get on either of their bad sides. “Hell yeah!” Responding excitedly while following Yumiya over to the center of the field. Stretching his muscles out getting ready for the fight.

Omi’s started to crowd the tree branches watching over the three, surely they’re constant rustling could be heard Faye. The green Omi from before jumped down into Faye’s lap with a rose that was outlined white with a dark undertone of black in the red. The Omi looked at Faye tilting it’s head to the side. Blinking aimlessly into Faye’s soul it gave off a cute expression.

“What do you take me for? A crybaby or something? You won’t get mad if I don’t either, right?“

After doing some leg stretches he got back up and got into his fighting stance. “The rules are the same like the official matches at school. We stop once one of us falls, got it?”

Taking a glance over to Faye, Kazume waved over, “Aye Faye, can you do the countdown for us?” Without shouting knowing that she could hear him. Looking back over to Yumiya, Kazume smirked. “This got my blood pumping, a Hyuga huh?”

Focusing his mind using the Aura sense, feeling Yumiya’s aura with his eyes closed. Hearing Faye’s voice loud and clear. 3…2…1!! Soon as she shouted one Kazume took in a large amount of air, storing it into his lungs. Dashing towards Yumiya at high speed.

“Kraw!”

A crow with red eyes landed on a tree branch away from the peaceful Omi’s and watch the crew from a far, somehow completely undetected from any Aura Sense. The Crow had three legs, and it’s eyes peered over the others, silently..

Kizen was still off somewhere doing who knows what…
 
Collab Post​

Kazume ran towards Yumiya at full speed, starting off with a round kick, following it up with a mid-air downward kick. Flipping behind her he attempted to go for a sweep kick towards her feet. An easy knock out to show off his skills to the girls.

Yumiya felt like she had snapped a little rashly but, it was something that she constantly heard from the people in her class. They were in awe of her being a Hyuga. Sometimes she felt people liked her for her clan rather than who she was as a person. "No, I won't be mad, I'm just saying that I'm not going to hold back," Yumiya replied as she took a deep breath and turned around. Taking her stance activating her Yakugan as Kazume surged forward. Waiting patiently as she waited for him to enter strike range dropping down to avoid the first kick, "8 trigram 16 palms," she stated as she attempted to strike 16 points in his body using advantage of her 360 degree vision around her.

Kazume noticed by time he had already swung that he had landed into one of her traps. His body reacted on its own allowing him to clap his hand against hers the first few hits. Focusing closely on her movements, Kazume coughed up a bit of spit. He also slid back a bit, but regained his stance. Not showing any sign of falling just yet, he wiped his mouth. "That kinda hurt, you almost had me!" He smirked. "That Yakugan, let me ask you this. It let's you see behind you too huh?" He asked her, waiting for a response using this time to think of a better strategy to defeat Yumiya. His body wasn't letting him use any magic so he decided that the best option was to out maneuver her attacks and hit her with a fierce attack. Her Yakugan was too much of a nuisance and he couldn't use magic now that his points were sealed off. Taking in another deep breath this time without any of his muscles reacting. Making it seem like he was just standing there, but he was actually gathering large amounts in, storing it into his lungs, which passed it throughout his body. Using the same technique as before climbing up the tree.

Yumiya felt several of her strikes hit, she was surprised that he was moving still with such ease. reaching around to her back she unslung her bow. "Yes a perfect 360 degree field of vision," she stated as she jumped back to create a larger gap and started to needle her mana. "But, apparently I must be a bit sloppy with my technique," she theorized before drawing back on the bow as Kazume started to run up the tree. As she drew the bow back a arrow made of lighting appeared. "Lighting arrow," she muttered letting the arrow loose ahead of kazume in an attempt to hit him. Then putting away the bow as she planted herself on a tree awaiting his next move. She figured the longer the battle went on would be in her favor. But a prolonged fight would be her downfall. Scanning her surrounds she prepared to strike him with a palm strike infused with lightning mana that would shock him if contact was made.

"Thats pretty unfair if you ask me," He smirked at her. Watching her jump back while he ran up a tree. "You see the thing is, you're not getting sloppy. I'm just simply catching on!" He smirked latching onto a tree branch flipping onto it. In the knick of time Kazume's eyes barely kept up with the arrows speed. It grazed his cheek leaving a cut mark. "Nice!" He said taking in more air, this time jumping through the tree branches. Yumiya would notice that Kazume was getting faster and faster. Reaching for his back pocket, Kazume pulled out a set of shuriken's. Launching each of them towards Yumiya. After she reacted, dodging Kazume followed after her, landing a heavy hitting kick to her gut. Then sent her down to the ground creating a small crater and some dust. Kazume landed on a tree branch breathing heavily trying to catch his breath.

“It is what it is I suppose,” she replied as she traced Kazume’s movements through the trees. Dodging two of the shuriken as the third one grazed her cheek as she braced herself as the kick met her gut. Yumiya was sent down to the ground as the crater was formed and the dust kicked up. She jumped back up towards Kazume posed to strike him. “8 trigrams 16 palms,” she muttered attempting to strike another 16 of his points as she was starting to catch her breath.

"Yeah I guess so huh?" His eyes locked onto Yumiya like a hawk on its prey. He was impressed by her fluent movement, but then again it was only expected. The excitement that ran through Kazume's body was uncontrollable. He enjoyed this, having friends, being able to spar, helping others, etc it all applied to him right of now. Watching the dust closley waiting to see what to happen next Kazume's ear twitched feeling the slightest sound from her foot pressing against the ground. Soon enough there she was on the same wooden platform again, this time Kazume took in another deep air. His eyes moving around rapidly keeping up with her arm movements; seemingly she was moving slower in his eyes, using this to block or parry any attacks with his forearm or elbow. Taking 5 more stikes he fell back against the tree, seemingly exhausted. Waiting for her to take the bait and approach him to deliver his final attack. Barely using the tree as support having more points blocked off. His breathing was getting slightly heavier and his body was starting to ache from using the breathing technique too much. Perhaps Kazume was a lot more ahead when it came to training, but lacked the powers they had. Starting to feel the affects that come with using his little "trick". His muscles we're starting to tighten up giving him soreness. He only had one more strike considering that was already enough for his body to handle.

Yumiya felt some of her strikes land on her target. As she created some space she could see Kazume was exhausted from the fight. She knew however it was over until one of them dropped. She figured she could wait it out rather than rush in. Drawing her bow as she created another Iightning arrow. She readied herself to see what Kazume was going to do. While she flet she hand an upper hand in close range' she was surprised he had managed to keep up woth her strikes. Though she could feel her eyes were starting to hit their limit as well. Letting out a sigh, she fired the arrow at his feet and used that as a cover to surge forward and attempt to sweep his legs out.

Kazume jumped out of the way barely in time though falling towards the ground landing on his back. He laughed hard and covered his face with his hand. "My body reached its limit. You win this one!" Kazume said with a big smile and layinng there on the ground unable to move so much. Catching his breath realizing his mana was starting to come back. "Those point blocking attacks, are kinda a nuisance, but..." He was trying to catch his breath. "Yeah that was some good stuff definitely! Gotta do it again!" He said sitting up in a ciss cross manner. Rubbing the too of his head looking over to Yumiya. "You're pretty strong. A lot stronger then I thought. Though don't think I won't catch up, and even far surpass you!" He got up on his too feet weakly, then falling against a tree.

"Yumiya landed next to Kazume and offered a hand to help him up. "Well if it makes you feel better I was about at my limit before starting to strain my eyes," she admitted as she deactivated her Yakugan. The veins around her eyes going back to normal. Letting out a deep breath she had used some of her mana. But, thanks to her control she could lower the amount she had to use. Wiping some sweat from her forehead she placed her hands on her hips, "Yeah it was a good workout for sure. Well I am the Hyuga heiress after all, I'm expected to be a formidable opponent for my age," she chuckled before giving a small bow. "But you were also adapted a lot quicker than I thought you would," she complimented him. "But don't worry I will be sure to make my striking even more effective," she promised.

Shiruba Bangu

3e6a6893ff57e486475d55c354c78296[1].jpg

He had to admit, the girl's good. Quick, efficient, and aware. Good, he thought, some of the younger folks have been a tad complacent as of late. They continued to make their way, enjoying the scenery and keeping an eye out for anything that might try to take a swipe at them. In Shiruba's humble opinion, they were both making good time. He estimates that they would reach their destination a day or two earlier than normal if they can keep the pace up.

While they were running, Shina broached about ol' Hama. "Yeah, 'am a regular just like the old monkey himself an' a few others. Hama does good work, sells good products too. Top quality service if you don't mind her prickly attitude. Need some medicine, she's got it. Thirsty, she's got a good selection of liquor that can knock out even the strongest of us. Need a new weapon, ol' Hama's got a few lying around. Need a body disposed off, she'll do it but she'll charge extra for the clean up." He said with a chuckle when he said the last one. "Just kiddin', she doesn't do that anymore. She just sells booze and food nowadays. She's retired so she doesn't handle asset acquisition and disposal anymore. Shame too, since she was very good at that during way back then when things were crazy and chaotic out there."

When Shina commented about the peace, he could not help but snort. "Peace is a fragile little thing. It's been good to us, but it's natural for peace to end. Just gotta roll with the way the wind carry us like leaves dancing in the breeze." And when she mentioned Rock, he snarled softly. "Well, a bunch of hardheaded idiots they are. Persistent and they tend to get tunnel vision when it involves people they don't like." Before long, he lets out a sigh, "Persistent, but we'll just have to kick their asses again and hope to the Heavens that it finally gets through their thick skulls."

He nods when Shina took the initiative to look for a suitable place to camp. They have, after all in his mind, made good time. Better to get some rest and be in tip-top shape before the party begins. He also approved her initiative in scouting ahead. He remembered many good friends dying to something so simple because they got too excited and didn't check ahead before leaping forward. When she brought up the topic about his...involvement with good ol' Saru, well truth be told he wasn't shy about it or anything; in fact, he was just annoyed and glad that no one knows much anymore. "Nah, it's fine. You ask why I'm trusted by that stressed out monkey we call the Lord Third? Well, I always think that it's because I get the job done, no matter what happens. I also think that maybe it's because of my skills on and off the field. Maybe it's because I've ripped apart so many enemies, banished so many demons, and buried so many friends that just led me to gain the confidence of a few good people that could look me in the eye and have a decent conversation with me. Maybe it's because I've taught a lot of the little shits people call kids and many of them grew up to be great and powerful badasses; some of 'em, in fact, have little brats of their own---Heavens help them, the kids I mean. But in all seriousness, I don't know really, Shina Hiyuga, truth be told I don't know why. All that I actually know is that I've been through a lot already and they just see fit to trust me with something as delicate as a simple clean up like this."

After sharing his thoughts, he kept watch while Shina did her magic. And soon enough, it looks like they were both in for a treat. Aggressive spirits, and not the little ones at least. If it were the little ones then they'll have an annoying time fighting. At least these big angry targets would be easier to see! "Well, well, well! That's interesting. A shame that they're too few, they could use a lot more so the fight would be at least fair for them. Right, let's do this one at a time. Just like dancing, let's get in the groove, keep to the rhythm, and let's not step on each other's toes while crushing their toes instead!"

Two of the bears tried and failed to harm Shiruba but the years of fighting has honed his senses to avoid their aggressive onslaught. His right hand reached for one of his Nichi Knuckles while his left shifted. Silver fur grew from his arm and his hand transformed into razor sharp claws. A quick jab of his clawed hand across the little miss bear's face in order to find purchase and hold it at bay was soon followed by a mighty punch from his knuckled right hand in the hopes to get it disorientated and distracted for a moment. He quickly followed it up by channeling lightning through his knuckled fist before releasing it by slamming it on the ground sending a wave of lightning towards the little bear and her mate who he dubs little mister bear. After initiating his initial attack he quick backs away getting as much distance he can from the two he was dancing with. Before long he takes a deep breath and lets out a roar of his own imbued with the power of razor sharp winds directed towards the bears.

Isshin Yotsuba

As he and his team settled in the clearing, Isshin couldn't keep his excitement from oozing from his very being. Despite being calm and collected on the outside, he was jumping like a little kid at the sweet shop on the inside. New techniques, new learnings, and learning it all as a newly minted Slayer Isshin was excited to start already. But, as Mira-sensei had said, they first had to get settled in.

He went about to set up camp as best he could. Making sure that the perimeter was secure, their things were in order, and that everything was as it should be; or well, as close to everything as it should be for the great outdoors. As he was doing this, he turns to his team. "So, this is it. We're really here and doing this. So, what do you both think Mira-sensei's gonna teach us first? And what do you guys think about the mission, what kind of spirit are we gonna deal with, you think?"

He was curious as to what they think about all this. After all, as father had taught him, the insights of his team can go a long way in strengthening his own understanding and knowledge about the things around him.

Shina Hyuga
effa9e9bfbac337d4fb1b443707465f8.jpg

Hearing Shiruba’s last words before they got separated had Shina speechless. She’s heard stories of the old geezer, but they always said he was a grouchy old man. In reality he seemed like a pretty nice guy, she’ll probably have to get to know him more, maybe he can share some of his wisdom.

Shina rolled onto the ground breaking off into a full sprint. Noticing two bears following after her she decided to draw them further away from the bigger one. Taking another check to make sure that the other party wasn’t closing in on their location; they weren’t yet. Reaching over her shoulder drawing her Nichi Katana, she took to a tree. One of the bears followed after Shina, she clashed her blade against the beast’s claws. The two fought up the tree while the second bear circled the base. There she was able to swiftly sheathed her blade and get into a gentle fist stance. "8 trigram 16 palms," She shouted, striking the bear in all its possible or believed vital points. Once her strike was done she did a twirl, cutting the head of the beast off. It turned into blue particles that shifted towards the sky.

She watched the blue sparkles until her attention was cut off, by her second opponent who had decided to join the party. This one was more aggressive giving out an attempted flurry of strikes. She deflected all except one, parrying the last one; piercing the beast in the belly right after. Leaving the blade in the bear’s stomach she flipped back onto a tree branch dodging a beam. Flash stepping through the trees dodging some more that were fired off. The sound of small explosions could be heard by Shiruba and the other wildlife around. Landing on a tree Shina cocked her right palm back channeling mana into her hand. “Wind Magic: Air Palm!” She fired off a gust of wind so strong it knocked the bear into another tree.

The bear got up enraged now releasing a massive beam into the air. Shina landed in front of it, dragging her sword upward, killing the bear. Front flipping away from the massive claw coming from the Ersa; the massive bears are called era’s. She continued to distance herself from the Ersa even though it rushed her with a furry of dangerous attacks, knocking trees over. Causing great debris as well. Running through the woods, ducking and dodging pieces of bark flying past her. Shina turned, cutting the beast paw, then using its arm to run up its body. “Wind Magic: Spring Slasher!” Her blade encased in razor sharp winds, using this chance to give the Ersa multiple cuts up its body. Jumping off its shoulder she headed towards Shiruba, leaping through the tree’s. Taking a hit to the back she landed on the ground struggling to get back up as the Ersa approached, she didn’t expect it to suddenly get so fast. The ersa’s eyes were giving a glistening ruby red shine.

Shina slowly got back up to her feet prepared for its next flurry of attacks.



After the fight had ended Shina landed to Shiruba’s side watching the Ersa’s body turn to grey ashe that blew into the wind. Each particle that the spirits gave off when they passed was a sign of how far gone they were. Shina looked at Shiruba for a moment before turning around ready to leave the scene. “We best leave now before the next party arrives unless you would like to take them out as well?”

Ersa

Both bears were sliced into small pieces of meat that could be used to cook for later. Each of them clearly no match for Shiruba’s sheer might as these were no more than lesser spirits.

The Ersa continued its rampaging assault at Shina, having successfully hit her once already. Continuously destroying everything in its way, the Ersa was starting to get annoyed with her, due to her using the trees to her advantage. Going for another swing at Shina with its cutten paw, leaving it wide open for Shiruba to possibly cut off in the knick of time to save the young Hyuga. Once Shiruba had shown himself to the party the Ersa would let out a massive roar, spikes starting to erode from its back. Now jumping, slamming, throwing, shooting beams, and flipping. A barrage of continuous attacks coming from the beast.

Once it was done it would be seen to be exhausted and attempting to catch its breath. Shina landed under the beast encasing it in a seal that would keep it in place for Shiruba to finish off. The beast was showing signs of becoming a demon and needed perishing. Though the attack Shiruba would give did not finish the beast off as it retains its full stature. Breaking Shina’s seal and giving off a demonic red aura. Its claws are growing.

Akoji Saruhan
0a00757fb64f2f99cfa791a716e5c11a.jpg

Taking a nice stroll through the leaf village, it was the afternoon by now. Hopefully his students were prepared for their next chapter in life. With the smoke pipe in his mouth he slipped past the crowd that flooded the streets. There he was at the “Blazing Oro Bbq”, the promised location that he and the three youngsters he’s dealt with for almost most of their lives, said to meet. Akoji had made sure to tell the three to bring travel gear.

You know even though both parties knew that they were tied together simply for the fact their clans had been in unison for years. The children of said clan follow the same fashion, out of the other kids they stuck up for each other; well at least the girls stick up for Inikor. Each of them grew up nicely, and often referred to Akoji as uncle rather than sensei. He didn’t mind it when it was just them of course.

The Saruhan Clan had forged a bond of unity and friendship, with the Yamanaka, Akimichi, and the Nara clans; that has spanned for two generations. Today was the day he was going to give the three of them each a pair of unity earrings. Also one for himself would be given by them once they are no longer under his protection; when they group up strong! Today was a special day for him and them. The Blazing Oro BBQ was the only place on the leaf that was big enough to fit the Akimichi clan. So it was the best place for the new team 4 to have their team meetings at.

Akoji took the pipe out of his mouth, letting the smoke escape his lungs. With his hands in his pockets, he entered the building. Walking through the massive open door that had curtains draping down halfway point.

“Greetings Lord Saruhan!”

“Yo, can I get the usual table?”

“Oh the one in the back? Sure thing! Anything for the son of Lord Third!”

“Right…. I’ll head over there now… I’m sure the kids will come barging in soon, this isn’t the first time we’ve all been here anyways.” He reminisced on some of their birthdays he celebrated here. Honestly even though this was the best and home felt spot to meet, coming here was a death trap to his wallet. Inikor and Iseul had empty stomachs of a bottomless void. At Least Akemi wasn’t too bad when it came to running his tab up. Although it may sound bad Akoji didn’t complain he enjoyed these moments, he felt like these moments meant memories that would last a lifetime for his students.

Reaching the back corner of the massive diner hall, Akoji sat in his seat sliding to the end. Akoji, Iseul and Akemi all sat on the same side while Inikor had his side to himself. He had a seat cushion to comfort him. The seat the three would sit on was all small cushions that they could sit on, all lined up together. In Between both sides was the self cooking pit/table, with utensils placed in front of each seat. Servers brought three bottles of Sake for Akoji.

He rested his backpack, and ordered the usual “Super jumbo extreme meal”, that was specifically placed on the menu for this special group of individuals. There he would wait to see his adorable younglings who were now full fledged spirit Slayers.

Akemi Nara
Illustration8.png
Akemi couldn't believe it, to her it was just yesterday that she was training day in and out to become a spirit slayer. But today was the transition into her new life, which made Akemi feel conflicted. Being under the tutelage of Akoji made her feel safe and secure as she learned how to become a strong fighter, but now she was going to face real conflicts with real consequences. So she couldn't help but feel a conflict of emotions, joy, fear, anxiety, and hope.

Packing her traveling gear only cemented these feelings, she was practically packing up the remnants of her old life in turn for the unknown. Her hands shook as she stuffed the essentials in her pack, of course, some were a little more superficial than others, such as a small stuffed toy she had received when she was younger. And she definitely couldn't go without her sewing kit. What if her clothes got ripped?

Once her bag was stuffed to the brim Akemi had no more excuses to stay put anymore. She was just buying herself some time to ease her nerves but in the end, she only heightened them by her complacency and by letting her thoughts wander to the extreme. At times like these, she thought of her mother which really didn't help.

"Enough of that Akemi." She slapped her cheeks in a physical attempt to jolt her out of her now sour mood. She attached her Nichi to her belt and took one last look at her room where she had been residing for the majority of her young life. She didn't have any family to bid farewell to, at least not in the traditional sense, while her father was fond of her it was more of a business relationship, he prided himself on having a child that would continue his family tradition. And his father's wife was not fond of Akemi at all, since she was born out of infidelity which Akemi couldn't totally blame her for.

She knew that they would see each other again at some point, so perhaps farewells were meaningless. And so she left her home and started her trek to see Akoji and the others. Although it wouldn't kill her to make haste Akemi wanted to look around for just a while longer, it might be the last time she viewed this place with rose-tinted glasses again.
_________________________________________________________________________

Ojisaaan! Akemi yelled from across the restaurant. Cheery as usual. She waved at him, it seemed like she had forgotten her manners on how to treat her elders when it came to him. Walking across the restaurant and to their table, Akemi took a big whiff of the establishment, she had forgotten how hungry she was. Once she reached their usual sitting area she bowed at Akoji before pulling herself back up with a big grin on her face.

"Ojisan, I'm so happy to see you! How does it feel to know your pupils are about to be stronger than you?'' She said in jest before sitting down across the table.

Akemi wondered where the rest of her team was, but she assumed they were not far behind. If anything she appreciated the one-on-one with her mentor as in normal circumstances it was rare to have an opportunity to just talk to him like this. She fiddled with her hair for a moment and looked around. Since she was the first to arrive she could be the first to eat, which knowing the other two and their appetite was always a blessing.

"You know since today is a special day you should order some desserts this time. Like manju... Oh oh! And some monaka!" her stomach started to growl at the thought as she giggled. Food was always something that made Akemi happy, especially eating with friends.

In Akemi's mind, there wouldn't be another opportunity to gorge herself for free like this for a while.

Getsumei Watabe

A new face enters the team, accompanied by two strangers, who appear to be his escorts. There was curiosity leering through Getsumei's eyes. This... person has a veil in front of his face and just a general impression that she could not put to words. The spirits have dispersed already from his presence, Getsumei took a step back as well. Only bowing in acknowledgment of her name.

It didn't take long to be filled in that this boy is going to be her new teammate. It was earlier than expected, she had to admit. With the third member set. She followed suit further into the woods until the clearing is met, a huge lake with rich water. The eager sensei was jumping from branch to branch, her head following her movements. Using some kind of technique, an instant campsite was set by the lake. It did surprise Getsumei, who nearly applauding so. Telling team 9 of her sudden disappearance, she watched the sensei leave into the treelines. Leaving her with the two boys. She stared both briefly into the eyes without a word.

She looks around the campsite. As she was doing so one of her teammates Isshin Yotsuba begins to move around, presumably to set up camp also. She moved out of the way to do the same. Starting with a large overgrown bush just close behind her. Getsumei wraps the chains of her Kusarigama to her fingers on the handle. Seamlessly started to cut the bush with little to no effort all thanks to the metal that the weapon is forged with, which is Nichi ores.

"Hmmm... Weapons? I think?" She turned quickly as she reveals her weapons to Isshin, who has started to converse with the team. On her right hand is the wrapped sickle and metal spike chain, that is the Kusarigama and on her right is the sophisticated fine weapon common among slayers, the bladed Kunai. Showing both like how a child would reveal her new toys to her parents. She minded back into the bush she just slashed aside and moved on to the next one, cutting back with the Nichi sickle.

"Sensei says we are training which is different from learning? Wait... I think that's the same thing..." She pointlessly added. Tending to another bush nearby.

"I hope Sensei teaches us something strong. I think we need it in the Mission. I just hope it has less scary Spirits like the one back on the farm in my house. One time when I was little, there was this weird... I don't know what to call it. Weird person thing. It had like these arms! Just waving them around but not like how we do it. It's so looong. It was so scary I went to bed that night. I wanted to see it again but when I checked it was actually just a scarecrow my father put there not too long ago. He didn't even tell me about it until I asked him." Getsumei crouched behind out of view from cut bushes. Resuming the story from there. The girl rose up now with palm-sized rocks in her arms, carelessly letting dirt all over her sleeves and white apron. Still continuing on with the story as she arranges all the corrected rocks into a small circle formation.

"My mother used to tell me that one of our farmlands was haunted by evil spirits, It was a far land though... I don't see it that much. Just hill with dead grass. I think she just doesn't want me to play there... " Returning back to the bushes she starts to peel off some cut bush branches, making quick work of them by converting them to sticks that can be used for fire.

"I promised to her that I-- will work hard to fight Evil Spirits because that's what good Spirit slayers do." After making sticks with her Kunai she returns to the circling stones and tosses in the sticks inside the ring of stone. The girl towards the lake with her dirtied hands to wash.

So.. he’d actually made it became a spirit slayer Inikor couldn’t believe it he’d though he’d screw up and completely flunk it… yet he didn’t no he actually managed to succeed? He couldn’t help but think it was all pure luck but that was the pessimistic part of him talking looking in the mirror he frown a little the boy packing his stuff including a stuffed animal it was only when the somewhat glum looking male, left his home after saying his goodbyes to his parents, did his true enormous size became apparent, towering over most at 7 or so feet tall and like always he stood out like a sore thumb, but he’d gotten used to that it was simply a fact of being a giant. He was to meet with some of the others form the village with mr Saruhan along with some of the other kids form the village that had passed as well, of course their was only once place they could be going, The Blazing Oro BBQ, only place that fitted himself as the rest of his.. small clan well family.
__________________________

Inikor arrived a little bit after Akemi and Akoji, his previously glum mood was replaced with a beaming smile the smell of barbecue quickly changing how he felt.. he was definitely hungry stomach grumbling. “Hey great to see you all gotta say little celebration definitely well earned can’t wait!” Inikor waved to the others before taking a seat, he’d look over at akemi smirking a bit. “Let me guess got here early so i didn’t go eating everything right Akemi?” Inikor said jokingly knowing this would be one of the few timed for a while he could properly relax or at least allow himself too. “Where is Iseul anyway? Guess she’s running a bit late?” The giant mentionEd glancing around

Gyasi Omari

The interaction between Gyasi and his new mentor threw his mind completely into reset mode. He could admit that there was a hint of nervousness at the fact that he wasn’t going to be a normal teammate to any group. More so accepted the fact that he would be treated in a similar manner to the village; with hatred, disgust, and fear. His best guess was that he would be monitored closely. Keep your enemies closer type of mindset, but somehow none of that was what came from their instructor. Instead she released him from his chains, and even gave him a pat on the head. Not once had he ever received such a gesture from a person, and especially not from someone whose village has never been on good terms with his own. The move almost had him not even catch her name, though he could admit he missed his teammates names. She continued to trigger his inner trauma by letting him know that they were a family. Something he only had once, and hearing that Gyasi felt something tug at his heart. A wound that could have easily reopened if not for him attempting to remain calm and snap back to reality.

On their way to their destination Gyasi let Oturan rest in his hood as he used his hearing and smelling senses to walk with the team. The step of their feet helped guide him to keep up, and quickly establish how each of them walked. Atobi sensei had a swift step that always had a purpose. No step was off balance, and each was carefully placed which was not often heard of around the village. Gyasi had the sense that she was on the ready at any moment for anything, and he made a mental note to aspire to do the same. For his male teammate the step was light and planned, but more casual than Atobi sensei’s. There was something about him that had Gyasi thinking he was on guard, though tense was not the right word for it. He wasn’t sure what the word was, but he made a mental note to find out what it was at a later time. His other teammate, a female, had a heavier foot that tended to drag often but had a faster pace than the rest. Hearing her feet drag was a bit funny as it had him wondering if she was clumsy because of it, and if so, then did she know why?

Once they made it to a rest area Gyasi appreciated that Atobi sensei had stopped him before reaching the end of the path. He knew there was an end, but nonetheless was mentally thanking his mentor for the help. As she left them Gyasi stood at the top of the cliff confused at the freedom he had to roam around. Why would she leave me alone…what if I just ran away? He contemplated running for the hills, but knew that was nothing more than a death wish as he would never be able to live in peace again. Shaking his head to erase the thought from his mind Gyasi instead decided to take some action along with his teammates. He shook his hood to wake up Oturan to be able to use for scouting the area. He could also try to be useful by gathering fish in the nearby lake that looked cleaner than most others he’s seen. Jumping down from the cliff the ability to walk on water was instantly activated, and there he stood on the waters surface as it rippled out around him. He was going to summon his weapon to use as a tool for catching fish, but his male teammate asked them a question nearby. Gyasi was going to answer until their female teammate decided to speak first. Oturan flew to stand on Gyasi’s shoulder, and the boy became curious to see what his teammates looked like. Raising his hand to his eyes Gyasi made a peace sign with his index and middle finger together. His ring finger reaching his thumb with the pinky finger right by the ring finger. The sign was normally not required, but not activating sight this way took a few more seconds than to use that quick activation move. Also known as: Gyasi is impatient.

Finally seeing what his teammates looked like he followed his female teammates movements as she started to make a fire for their campsite. She spoke as she wasted no time in getting her hands dirty. She spoke the whole time she was preparing the fire, and as she finished speaking Gyasi burst out laughing.

“My bad-” He says through fits of laughter. “You just, you-” he couldn’t contain his laughter any longer and practically cried laughing as he stumbled off the water onto dry land. Once he set foot on land Gyasi lost his footing and slammed backwards on the ground. Oturan flew up into the sky and Gyasi lost his ability to see once again. He laughed for a few seconds longer before laying on the ground for a moment absorbing the pain that came after.

“I apologize,” He finally let out after a moment of cricket silence. “I’ve just never seen someone get their hands dirty while telling a heartfelt story. I’m not laughing at you though,” He quickly corrected, still facing the sky as if apologizing to it instead of his teammate. “It’s pretty neat.”
