Days after(Team Kaosu)

It was in the middle of the day, and Kaosu had finally left his house. The leaves blew in his face, and he knew that fall was rolling around the corner. He did enjoy fall, because he liked looked at the colors of everything, but this meant it was close to winter. Kaosu did not like how cold winter got, he just could not handle at well as others. He sighed, and soon walked towards the training grounds. It had only been a short time since the team had gotten back from their mission, and each of them had done very well. He was sure that one day they were gonna become stronger than himself, and he would help them ever step of the way. He had sent out for them to train with him, but he knew that Raizo would not be able to join them today, unless he came on his own will. Raizo had caught some sort of sickness while away, and had not recovered yet. This meant that the team was one man short, and Kaosu had found someone to fill that spot. Her name was Orihima Hyuuga, and it was obvious of what she could do. She was in a highly respected Clan, and would be good as a temporary member to team Kaosu. He did not know much about her, though, so things could go wrong.

Kaosu had made a quick stop, before arriving at the training ground. He was in the ANBU base, looking for various jutsu that he thought his genin would wish to learn. He was glad that the Hokage viewed him as a honorable ninja, and Kaosu was made an advisor. He knew it had its disadvantages, but when it came to training his genin, there were a lot of perks. He could pretty much have access to A rank or lower things, and teach them to his genin, if he wanted. He took several scrolls with him, so that he could get the most out of today. Most of the scrolls seemed rather small, and new, but one. Kaosu had to carry this last one on his back, because it was so huge. Not only was it huge, it seemed rather old. Kaosu had to be careful with this scroll, not only because it was so old, but because it held the key to a very powerful summoning. Many enemies would try and get their hands on it and all had failed, so far.

He knew that the two other genin would not mind, or if they did, they would respect that she was joining for only a short time. Each of them would learn that not everyone that they are use to would take part in their team. This would be a good lesson for the others in his team.People passing had not seen such a big scroll before, but this would come in handy today. He had not used it himself, but he knew that one of his genin would want it. He did not know which, but they all had to learn summoning soon. They were about the rank which each of them could learn that, if they had not already done so. If one had, it would make today a whole lot easier, and one of them could help the Hyuuga with her training. Kaosu soon arrived at the training ground and smiled. He was the first one here, or so he had assumed. He sat down on a rock that had been on the far end of the training ground and waited for the three to arrive.

OOC: Sorry for shortness.

“46… 47… 48… 49…” Ayame’s upper body went parallel to her lower body as she continued her pull ups. “50.” Once she had finally hit her last number, Ayame let go of her head and let her body hang for a few seconds so she could let her body recuperate after performing her routine ritual of 50 pull ups after performing 50 push-ups not too long ago. After taking those few seconds and getting herself in a more comfortable position, Ayame dug through the grey ninja pouch attached to her right thigh and pulled out a regular kunai, pulling her body up in order to grab onto the rope that was tied around her legs with her free hand so she could cut it off, letting her descend from the tree branch.

As she was descending, Ayame quickly rotated backwards so she would land on her feet as opposed to her head, the force of the fall causing her to crouch and grab onto the ground for a second before standing up straight and stretching out her body before loosening the rope off of her ankles. Ayame took a look on the sun’s neutral position to see that it was probably somewhere around noon by now.

Ayame took the orange t shirt she had on and wiped her face with it and then running her hands through her hair soon after, which was in a ponytail at this time for training purposes. Checking the watch on her left wrist, Ayame figured it was about time to meet Kaosu for his “special training” so she padded up her orange shorts and picked up the white backpack she had brought with her that held a few metallic materials she was working on, slinging it over her back but careful not to let it ring her sword too much and left her clan specific training field in a sprinting motion, as if she was exhausted at all.

Once she had made it over to the streets of Konoha, Ayame noticed that there were potential obstacles and decided to integrate that into her warm-up by avoiding them but still make it from point A to point B in the least amount of time; in other words, Parkour. Seeing a shopping cart suddenly pop out in front of her, Ayame dived through it to be met with a corner, in which she jumped onto and hopped off of in order to make it on the railing of a set of stairs and continued on.

Not long after, Ayame hopped off of a tree branched that oversaw the center of the training grounds and rolled on the ground to limit her fall. She then jogged over to where the meeting was supposed to take place and stopped by the two individuals, first taking a look at Kaosu with a nonchalant expression. “What’s up, sensei?” And then towards the girl that was next to him with a more confused and curious one. “Who’s the weird eyed girl?” She didn’t really mean it as an insult, but Ayame was… “charismatic” that way.

"You know, I have to be on time if I want to get stronger. Kaosu notices that stuff." Shihouin walked next to a man who looked almost exactly like him in the face, except about 40 years older. They both walked towards the training field, taking the busy sidewalks of the village. Shihouin wore normal clothing for a ninja, but took advantage of the new flak jacket which held some easy to reach pockets in the chest. The rest of the material underneath was the normal black. He looked like an average Chuunin of Konoha. His father walked next to him, dressed in a businessman's attire. He wore clean shoes, which shined nicely and a navy blue top and pants to match it. They were pinstriped as well, and he wore a silver ring on his finger to compliment the pinstripes in his outfit. Each step wasn't a walk of class, but of power. "It doesn't matter, you're already a Chuunin. You have no obligation to go see him at all anymore. You're an equal shinobi." Shihouin grunted as he held his hands in his pocket. "I have to learn from him, he's the only one in the village that I know of that can teach me how to use genjutsu. You know how important that is to the Sharingan." Shinshou placed his hand on his shoulder as they turned a corner. "I don't want you getting attached to this man, I need you son." Shihouin looked down on the ground as he walked, and muttered. "Yeah...I know.."

Shinshou looked down on him and gripped his shoulder. "I've had a change of plans. We are going to do things differently from now on." He perked back up again, paying attention to every word. "I'm not going to go through with it." He had trouble speaking. "It seems the damage that they did to me years ago is progressive... If I had your eyes they'd just kill me." Shihouin was confused. "Who'd kill you?" "No, your eyes would kill me. I can't feel chakra anymore. I've regressed past that of a genin. I have to give up on my goals." Shihouin looked at him and stopped, with some sort of happiness in his eyes. "Then! Then I don't have to..?" Shinshou closed his eyes and kept his hands at his side. "I wish I could tell you that. I really do, but you need it. You have to pick up where I left off and what you have now isn't going to be enough. You need more strength." Shihouin's shoulders slacked heavily. "But.." "No buts. Look at you, you said genjutsu was important to the Sharingan yet here you are blabbling about something thats out of your control and your teacher is right over there. Go on now." Shihouin looked his father in the eye and then turned away.

He walked across the street to the training field, eying someone in the distance. He was late, the new girl and Ayame had already been there. For a moment he stopped and realized that he was the only male on them, and for that second his mind fell on Nasamea. He shook her image from his head and walked up behind the new recruit and Ayame. He crossed his arms and looked directly at Kaosu. He talked as if he was the only one there, as if Ayame and the new girl didn't exist, or didn't have any importance at all. "It's time you start teaching me other things. As a Chuunin I have a lot of other shit to do than besides hang around with little girls. I need you to teach me genjutsu now Kaosu-sensei." It was time he learned it, and the sarcasm in his voice would keep him off the hook because it was obvious that he was joking. But at the same time he was serious. Learning genjutsu meant a lot to him, more than any of them could think.

Kaosu stood up right as the first genin arrived. He was slightly shocked that the first genin to arrive was in fact the temporary member that he had requested. It was odd, because this was the last person he assumed he would see, but I guess this was a good sign that she wanted to learn. He soon started walking towards her, and greeted her with a half smile, that only lasted for a moment or two. "Welcome, Orihima, I'm glad to see you have made it." He paused for a moment, looking away from here. "And yes, you are correct about who I am. Kaosu Aburame." He gave another short half smile. He looked back at the little girl. It would be nice to have another ninja with eye jutsu, like the Uchiha. If the two would be at a similar strength, it would be a much enjoyable fight to see. He was surely glad that he would get the chance to train her. And by the looks of it, it seems she had not trained for sometime. "We will get started as soon as the others get here." He really had hoped Raizo would show up but that was rather unlikely. Kaosu knew that he would have to train him extra just to keep him caught up with the other two. He did not mind it, but it would just be troublesome for him. He wished he would recover very soon. "Orihima, go ahead and take a seat and wait. The other two should be here shortly."

Kaosu soon looked to see that Ayame had arrived. She looked like she was doing some training on her own, which was a good thing. She had been growing up, since before they went on their mission, and it could clearly be seen. "Ah, hello Ayame." He said as Ayame jumped from the branch she was standing on. "Whats up, you ask? I guess you are asking, how do I do. So, I am doing well, and how about yourself?" He asked her, as Kaosu watched her walking towards Orihima. Ayame soon asked a question about the now girl, staying she had weird eyes. "Ayame, it seems you still have a lot to learn, about the village. A lot of people, as you put it, have these weird eyes. She is of the Hyuuga clan. Their eyes are special, just like our very own Uchiha. They are not someone to underestimate. You will learn all kinds of things about ninja in our very own village, that you had no clue existed." Kaosu paused and cleared his throat for a moment. "This is why I requested for a new member, so you can meet new ninjas. You won't always be working with the same team for the rest of your life. You have to learn other people skills and know how to work with them. Thats one thing teams have to learn." He smiled at Ayame, and Orihima, knowing this lesson would be great for the two of them. It would even be better for Shihouin, because he was diving right into the real world of shinobi.

Soon, the very last member of team Kaosu arrived. It had seemed Shihouin had been doing a lot of things after the mission had been completed. A chunnin already, it was a very fast advancement for a young boy. Kaosu was very proud of him, but knew that now the chunnin exams were going to be harder. They were one man short, and it would be hard for them to find another genin in such short time, that was ready for the chunnin exams. The team would likely have to go into the exams two maned. And with Raizo being sick, it just made matters worse. They needed all the training they needed, and Ayame would be the only one prepared for the exams. Shihouin spoke right as he entered the training area. Like always he wanted to get down to business. Kaosu made yet another half smile as his sarcastic tone, went along with his words. Although it was a little harsh, he would have a lot of work ahead of him, and a little training would not hurt. He was glad to have a team that would not live him, once they got passed the rank of genin. "Shihouin, that was a little rude, but I guess you are right. You will be the first one my list. And also, congratulations on the advancement."

Kaosu made the three sit down, before he began to talk. This way, he knew they would all hear him. "Alright, Shihouin this is are temporary member. Her name is Orihima Hyuuga, of the Hyuuga clan." He paused and pointed to the Hyuuga. "I will be teaching you genjutsu first, while the two women, help each other in things they fell they need work in. After you learn the basics, we will switch, for Ayame, and she will learn something of her choice. While you train with Orihima. Then lastly, Orihima, you will go over the basics of Taijutsu with me. You have the most to learn." He nodded his head and motioned for all of them to stand up. It was now time for him to teach Shihouin the arts of Genjutsu.

Upon Kaosu’s explanation of what he called the “Hyuuga clan”, Ayame continuously stared at the girl, particularly directly in the eyes, wondering exactly what was so special about them. They just seemed like the girl had gone blind or something of that manner. As a matter of fact, Ayame was very tempted to simply wave her hands right in front of her to see if she would be able to see her at all, but ultimately decided against it, playing the scenario in her head to see that it would probably seem like a purely rude jester to the girl, especially if she really could see.

The next thing she knew, Ayame was started hear the conversation of what seemed to be an adult male and a familiar sounding young boy. She turned around to see Shihouin and an older guy that looked very much like him, probably his old man, talking to each other about something she couldn’t hear right and quite frankly, due to her exceedingly low attention span, something she soon found herself not caring about within the span of 2-3 seconds. Getting her quick look at the arrival of the final teammate, Ayame turned back around to her previous direction towards their teacher.

It wasn’t until Shihouin reached them and started to actually talk that she decided to give him a second thoughts. But instead of growing angry or irritated, Ayame simply smiled a bit and chuckles soon afterwards. “You know, It’s a sad day indeed when losers start to think that a stupid ass jacket makes them feel superior to others over the course of 5-10 minutes. All of which is just a façade to hide the fact that they really feel insecure about their own abilities and use crap like a title most likely gained from spending most of their day whining like a baby if they don’t get what they want, when they want it in order to gain fake respect among the ninja world.”

After she was done, Ayame took a quick look at Shihouin and gasped, acting as if she were surprised to see him. “Oh hey, kid, didn’t see you there. Nice jacket, I see you’ve been improving your little tantrum techniques.” After her little joke fest, Ayame listened to what Kaosu had to say and then walked over to a secluded area of the field with the new girl in order to give the guys some space in their own training.

Once they were far enough, Ayame suddenly turned her head over to one side and then the other, cracking her neck in the process. “Well, I heard you were gonna work on some Taijutsu in a while. So let’s start off on some one on one physical combat if you want. I'm already warmed up so if you want to give it a go, you can make the first move. Maybe you can even show me what's so special about your eyes.”

Shihouin didn't care too much what Ayame had to say or what the new recruit thought about him, but at the same time he did want to say something. He tried to correct himself, because her comment did sting a little bit, and if he talked without thinking he might end up falling into her trap. He kind of gazed at her with a semi-serious dull look, as if her comment didn't matter. He squinted his eyes and quickly turned his head to ignore her, whatever she was up to wasn't as important as what Kaosu had in store for him. He was lucky that Kaosu knew genjutsu, for an Uchiha to have a teacher skilled in that area of combat was a godsend. He had a few ideas on some techniques that he wanted to create for himself, but the list they were on was very long. After being burned by his level of genjutsu, the ideas he had for them were... different in a way to speak. Genjutsu allowed one to be totally creative, to create a world and settings which they had control of to a very large extent. The creative room that allowed Shihouin to flex his skills was what he was after, and the Sharingan only made that more easier for him.


He walked over to Kaosu and stood in front of him, waiting for his instruction to begin. Luckily he was great at controlling his chakra, and from his studies in the library he knew that genjutsu required a high level of intellect, which he assumed he had and chakra control. He could down those two easy, but it was the part about extending chakra into another's head which he couldn't learn how to do on his own. The chakra that controlled your opponent wasn't visible and was manipulated in different ways than ninjutsu or normal techniques was. He hoped Kaosu would be able to explain this and demonstrate it to him so he could understand it. Kaosu would be able to see it to, he was anxious to learn as quickly as possible. He already had an idea on a technique that he wanted to use. It was low ranking and weak, but he had an idea that it would be very useful.

[Count Shihouin gone, he left the topic to go train elsewhere]
