Time for the fun to start, and the torturing of the lil Genins. [Konoha Team II]

Tick..tack..tick..tack.. Hiroki lay on his bed with his hands under his head, his slightly ruby red eyes were open as he stared up at the ceiling. The ticking in the alarm clock was soon going to drive him mad, but he was way too lazy to actually go and smash it against the wall. I meet my team today.. a team of brats I have to take care of and be responsible for.. and what's worse.. I was forbidden to corrupt them in any way. He didn't know what the heck that was supposed to mean and was sure that most of those damned fun spoilers from the ANBU's along with the other Jounin's were all just bitter virgins which were jealous of his own success in chasing after skirts ... and pants. He of course admitted to himself that the kids might be a bit too young for him to do anything drastic, but it was just very hard to resist any temptation. And besides, he himself was just 18 years old... so not really the pedo material!

The raven-haired young man turned on his side and stared at the source of his annoyance this early in the morning. The time was only 6:05 am, but there was no way he was going to be able to get any more sleep. Not that surprising though, as he usually did wake up pretty early every morning. But he would have preferred getting a bit more of rest this particular morning, before he had to go and play all nice with 3 kids that were most likely going to either get on his nerves or really tempt him to tease them a -bit-. Sitting upright in the bed, he stretched lazily and yawned like there was no tomorrow before he stood up and scratched his neck while glancing around his small but comfortable apartment. It consisted of a kitchen that was linked with the room he slept in, and to the right of the kitchen was a small living room that then lead to the bathroom. None of the rooms were particularly big, but big enough for a single person.

Without changing his lazy expression Hiroki stepped a bit forward and then drew his leg slightly back before kicking the alarm clock with enough force to make it fly towards the wall behind it and smash into pieces there. On my to do list today... buy a new clock. He gathered his clothes together before throwing them on, rummaged a bit through the fridge and then headed outside with a Snickers bar in his hand. Definately the most healthy breakfast that was out there. The morning air was chilly, especially seeing that there had been snowing that night. His dark jeans and black T-shirt didn't provide much protection against the cold, so Hiroki was quick to close up his dark brown jacket. The rings on each of his pointer fingers were soon enough cold through the metal, making the Jounin scowl and mutter small curses. I better find something difficult to do so I wont freeze my ass off. The team gathering wasn't until 8 am, so he had around 1 and half hours to kill.

Rummaging through his pockets, he drew up a pair of black leather gloves and put them on before starting to have fun with building snowmen. While whistling a light tune, he made it look like there had been a car crash by building a snowman that was half under a car which he had spotted and then around that one, he built 3 other snowmen which were seemingly panicking over what had happened. Too bad I don't have anything like ketchup.. oh well. He walked in light steps away from the "scene of accident" and started making his way towards the training field, where the meeting was supposed to be. There was still around an hour left for him to wait, so as he came to the spot where the brats.. ahemm teammates were supposed to meet him at, Hiroki leaned against a tree and started munching on the Snickers bar. Upon letting his piercing gaze travel over the surroundings, he figured he could easily use the snow to make the kids work a bit out. He had taken with him the pouches which contained the basic ninja weapons along with the pouch with his pencils and ink. Deciding it would only be a hazzle to carry much more, he had just taken one of his puppet scrolls with him. It was kind of stupid to be going armed to the teeth when you were just gonna meet up with the kids you were about to torment...train

Now.. what were the names of them? "Aaaah fuck! Do they -really- think I would actually remember that?" He ruffled his already messy hair a bit before leaning his head against the treetrunk. He knew that there weren't just any ordinary brats he'd get to have. There was something about clans... some old bloodlines. Eh, whatever I'll just have them tell me when they get here. Licking his lips to get the rest of the chocolate, he then stuffed the wrappers into his pocket before half closing his eyes as he waited patiently for the first little lamb to appear.

Shin was awake when his alarm clock went off at 5:30 in the morning. Placing his book down he reached up from his slightly laying position on his bed and turned it off with a sigh. “Yet another sleepless night it seems.” He wasnt particularly worried, insomnia was the norm for him, sleepless nights coming at least twice a week on average. Sitting up he let his feet slide off the side of his small bed only to pull them back up quickly as they touched the ice cold floor. ‘Well damn it must be colder today'.

Prepared this time, he slid his feet back to the floor, it was still cold as ice, but he didnt jump away this time. Keeping his feet on the floor he yawned and stretched slightly before coming completely to his feet and walking over to the window and pulled the curtains open. The sun had yet to breach the horizon, it wouldn’t come up for at least an hour as was the trend of this season. The street lamps still lit up the early morning sky and through their light, the snow glistened brightly as it drifted slowly to the ground.

With another small yawn Shin turned to his left and walked into the bathroom which was connected to his room through a small door in the corner. With a quick movement he flicked on the light and closed the door before examining himself in the mirror above the sink. After examining himself for a second he let out a slight growl, still annoyed that he looked really young. How was he ever supposed to be world renowned if he had the face of a small child! ‘This isnt the face that striikes fear into the hearts of enemies!

Still annoyed he quickly walked over to turn on the shower and turned the hot water on full blast before stripping himself of his clothes and stepping under the jets of scalding water. Shin found that there was nothing quite as relaxing as extremely hot water pushing away the chill of an early morning and a sleepless night. After a long while under the hot water of the shower, Shin stepped out and toweled himself dry. Putting on his usual clothes before exiting the bathroom.

He checked the clock after stepping out out of the bathroom. ‘6:00' Hmm still two hours before the meeting with the other two Genin and a Sensei. He didnt know anything about the 3 others who would be on the team. He only knew that he was to meet them at the training grounds at 8 A.M sharp. He wondered who he would be paired with, hopefully people he could learn a lot from, that way he would be sure to quickly increase his skills. He was very excited about the team, but no one be able to tell as it was hidden behind the indifferent facade which masked his face. He was looking forward to the challenges a team would present, the learning, the fighting, the missions, all would increase his knowledge and put his name out there and eventually he would become the strongest ninja in Konoha!

The Alarm clock gave a loud buzz as the second alarm went off at 6:30 and Shin jumped and looked around. “Wow...really got carried away with that daydream” he said aloud as he reached over and turned off the alarm clock. ”Well now there‘s only and hour and a half left until the meeting I guess.“ He felt kinda silly for daydreaming but was glad it had passed the time. With a slight chuckle at his daydream he walked over and took his coat off the back of his door. ‘Man I can be so childish sometimes., he though as he put his coat on and put all his ninja pouches in place as he headed out the door into the snowy village.



The streets were quite empty this early in the morning, most people still sleeping at this time of morning, but a few early risers were about. ‘The early birds trying to catch the worms.’ Shin chuckled at the thought in his head as he walked down the street. He found his childish sited manifesting once more as he spun in the snow, opening his mouth to catch a few snowflakes in his mouth. It was certainly a childish thing to do, but the snowy weather had placed him a good mood. Which was probably much better than being in a grumpy mood when one was to meet their new Genin team.

Shin found himself wandering about the snowy village for what seemed like a long while, merely watching the quiet morning go about it’s own business. Few animals were about in the cool weather, most likely preferring to stay in their warm dens until the warmth from the sun ended the cold of the morning. A squirrel ran across the fresh snow leaving tiny paw prints as it took some food to it’s secret place. A few birds flew towards the south probably to avoid the cold and a few of the Konoha residence went about their business, some shinobi heading to get an early start on their training, other’s being civilians who were getting breakfast or going about some other mundane task of the day. Shin’s wanderings and observations took up majority of the time he had to wait before showing up at the meeting place, so he made his way to the training grounds where they were supposed to meet up.

It was a fairly short walk from where Shin was to the Training Ground where the team was supposed to meet so it only took him a few minutes to get their. Upon arriving Shin noted only one person in the training ground, a rather tall man with messy hair who was leaning up against a tree. ‘The meeting time is right....’ He figured this was their sensei, after all who would be obviously waiting in a training ground this early on a cold morning. 'Time to make a wonderful first impression.' Shin chuckled quietly, he was feeling quite mischievous as he picked up a handful of snow and molded it into a perfect ball. “LET THE KONOHAGAKURE SNOWBALL FIGHT BEGIN!” He screamed loudly as he launched the snowball with shinobi level skill towards his sensei.

"Orihima, sweetie, darling." called a voice. It was quite the alluring voice at that, too. Just hearing it made the Hyuuga's cheeks become painted blush-pink. A young man swept the girl into his arms causing her heart to skip a beat. "Orihima." he crooned whilst beginning to caress her face with his soft warm hand. Embarrassed and flustered giggles escaped from her; something incredibly foreign. One would think it was almost impossible. The swayed back and forth; dancing. "You need to wake up." he husked near her ear. She shivered and an irritated and confused expression flooded her face. "Eh? What nonsense are you talking about?!" the Hyuuga responded, thoroughly agitated with the young handsome man. "You need to wake up, Orihima." he repeated, albeit voice sounding less alluring and more... Familiar. Too familiar; more womanly sounding.

"You stupid good-looking man! What the hell are you going on about!? You're dancing with me and later, romancing me!" her voice escalated. "Sweetie, wake up already! You wanted me to wake you up this time so you could bathe, eat, and prepare yourself for the meeting!" and with that last statement, Orihima put it together. The familiar voice was no one other than her mother. This was a dream; an illusion; a fantasy. None of it was real, nor did it actually ever occur. Unfortunately, there was no good-looking man with his husky smooth voice. Orihima was not in his arms and she sure the hell wasn't in a candle-lit ballroom. "Fine... Fine, fine! Just... Disappear, then! Y-You stupid, infuriating, attractive, .... Grr! Jerk-face! You facade! " she gave in; good-looking man, ballroom, candles, and everything she loved in the dream disappearing.

In the real world, she groaned and attempted to switch sides in her bed. However, she was only then stopped by her mother who rolled Orihima back onto her back. "Na-ah-ah! Orihima Hyuuga, wake up this instance, you grumpy silly girl! I'm going to loose my patience with you!" her mother demanded, albeit almost loosing her poker face and laughing in the process. Her daughter groaned louder and popped one eye open. "Mother... Mother, I'm up! I'm awake!" she attempted to retort with the same fierce voice; only for it to come out dull and tiredly. "You got enough sleep, didn't you?" her mother questioned. Orihima irritatingly sighed and finally popped her other eye open; both milky white orbs for eyes hazily glancing around the room.

"Yes, I just didn't want to wake up. I was having... Quite the eerie dream." she finally responded. Her mother blankly looked at her daughter, which she returned. Much to the girl's paranoia; the once blank expression her mother bared was now one of a sinister grin. Orihima gritted her teeth. She didn't understand her hormones, but her mother always seemed to give her that all-knowing look. She detested it, yet... It was almost comforting. The young kunoichi refused to spend anymore time on the subject and quickly changed; "Mother, it's freezing!" she exclaimed. The sinister grin remained. "Just wait until you have to get out of your bed. It's snowing."

The best way to describe Orihima's then expression would be imagining a dog realizing you just said the word 'walk', 'leash', and 'treat' in the same sentence. In fact, if she had big floppy ears, she was sure they would of perked up. Of course, she would still look irritated. That was a given. "It's snowing? Right now? I love snow. It seems like forever since I've seen it." while sitting straight up in her bed. The cold air clashed against her once warm skin; hundreds of goosebumps traveling around her body. Her teeth began to chatter in the slightest. "M-Mother... Won't you please, pretty please, s-start running your dearest daughter's bath water? With very hot water? Much appreciated." she spoke; agitated and pleased all at the same time. "Alright, I will, I will." and with that; her bath water began to run as Orihima willed herself to leave the comfort sanctuary known as her bed.

Finally, after a long argument of the pros and cons in her head, the teenage Hyuuga shed her clothing and sunk herself into the hot water. She washed and scrubbed, rinsed and lathered; surprisingly not taking all that long. Once she was out, she quickly began to re-dress herself. It was going to be cold and she would need to dress accordingly. On her panties and bra went, black fishnet undershirt, a form-fitting long-sleeved navy v-neck, black pants, and black jacket, too. Instead of the standard ninja shoes; she put on the alternative of ninja boots. There was bound to be snow everywhere, after all. Finally, she put on her hip pouch.

By time she got around to eating and finishing her breakfast, it was seven-thirty in the morning. It was time to be leaving for the meeting. "Goodbye, Mother! Goodbye, Father!" she called before storming off into the snow and out of the clan compound. Her jet-black hair swayed and swung, occasionally a strand whipping out of place and into her eyes. The snow crunched with every step she took. It was so cold! It was irritating, but perhaps the good-kind, because Orihima couldn't help but enjoy the walk to the training grounds. She inched closer and closer; quite suddenly hearing a yell seep into her ears. It was a boyish yell and just like before, she perked up somewhat. The Hyuuga found herself approaching the area with more enthusiasm. Was it curiosity? Perhaps.

Two individuals then came into view, both rather young looking. They both shared dark locks. In fact, they both seemed to hold some charm to them, as well. While her assumed-team mate was more on the cutesy side, she had to admit her sensei was definitely more on the ... ... Oh, how the hell was she supposed to describe it? She bite her lip in irritation with herself. Whatever he was, she was liking what she was seeing. Outside; she merely showed some slight interest whilst an otherwise indifferent expression. Inside; she was slowly grinning wider and wider, imagining her hands all over them. Whoa, what? It appalled Orihima with some of the things she found herself thinking of.

A faint pink color dusted over her cheeks. Hey, it was cold, anyways! That was her excuse, yeah? Yeah, that's right. She found herself quite close to the boy her age who had thrown the snowball. Had she been walking up to him the whole time. Awkwardly, she kicked some snow up at him. "... Hi." she stated, huffing and kicking some more snow up at him. At least she was actually trying, right? "You must be my team mate." more snow being kicked up at him. "And you must be our sensei." she stated whilst looking over at the young man. Of course, she kicked up some snow at the boy, again. That was the point of the game, right?

The sun barely began to shine from over the horizon. Mitsu's eyes suddenly flitted open as he awoke to the sound of...nothing. He awoke before his alarm, at least a half hour. He sighed and became angry with himself. The way he woke up was in such a way the he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep if he wanted to, only lay there with his eyes closed. Well, he could fall back asleep, but the meeting would prevent him from having the necessary amount of time needed to get to a deep enough sleep. He slowly lifted himself out of bed and flipped the switch to turn his alarm clock. He then slowly walked over to his light switch and turned the lights on as well. His eyes closed in reaction to the bright light and he was displeased by it. He groaned slightly and slowly walked over to his closet. He took out his clothes and then pushed aside his curtain with his hand, looking outside. There was snow falling, and it was also piled on the ground. Great, just what Mitsu wanted. He should have expected this, be Mitsu wasn't the kind to watch weather reports, let alone news. He didn't like the fact that he had to get out more clothes which meant he had to put more on. Normally, this wasn't a problem, but Mitsu just felt lazy and tired this morning. He had two hours to kill, so he figured he would take his time with his morning happenings. He bathed and soon got dressed. He almost skipped breakfast, but realized he still had an hour and a half to kill, so he made breakfast and ate, lasting about a half an hour or so. He had to make the food, because he didn't feel like waking up his aunt and/or uncle to make him food. Again, he was lazy this morning, so he was displeased by this.

He walked out of the house, feeling the temperature difference immediately upon his face. He was dressed for the weather, but his clothes didn't limit his range of motion at all. The cold weather's embrace seemed to restore him to his normal self. He took a deep breath of the fresh air and set off for his destination. His thoughts were filled with the usual questions one would wonder in his particular situation. Who are these people? What are they going to look like? What type of personality do they have? Is there a cute girl on my team? Then Mitsu started thinking of what he might do if an attractive girl was on their team. Would he start hitting on her right away? Would he try to win her over slowly? Mitsu figured he would decide when he saw her, if there was a girl on their team to begin with. He soon arrived there though, hearing the boy shout and seeing him throw a snowball, and seeing the girl try to play along with the boy by kicking snow at them. This was the right place alright, so this must have been his team. He walked up next to the girl and turned on his charm immediately. "Well who do we have here? A beautiful young lady? I am Mitsuhide Katsudo, at your service. I assume I am the final member of the team, so hello."

From his light slumber there against the tree, Hiroki had noticed someone come closer to him in light steps but stopping at some distance. Most likely one of the kids in his team. He raised his head slightly to see a black haired boy with a rather childish face, before a snowball was thrown his way with a shout following after about a Konohagakure..snowfight? Hiroki barely moved and didn't blink, only tilted his head to the side so that the snowball struck the tree which he was leaning against. Just at that moment, the other genin came. A girl..good good. And another boy, seemingly someone who lived under the impression that he was a player as he immediately turned to the girl and started to chat with her. Oh how it would be fun to crush his spirit a bit. But first things first, to crush that babyfaced black haired one. Pushing his lean body away from the tree, Hiroki started walking slowly their way and as he did he scooped up some snow in his glove clad hands. As he kept nearing them, he lifted his face up so that his ruby red eyes were more visible, as was the arrogant and slightly sadistic smirk that was displayed on his tempting mouth. If there was a time for someone to start counting their praying, then this was that moment for them three.

"Well well, so you guys are my team?" He wondered how it felt for them to have someone which wasn't that much older as their boss. And what was more, whom would they start blaming and crying to after he had "trained" them for a whole day? His hands kept forming a snowball, making it hard as a rock as he finally stopped just a few feet away from the three genin, his handsome face having a somewhat displeased look on it as he looked them over. "Do the genin really get out of the academy this easily nowadays?" The raven haired drawled out as he raised his arm at lightning speed and struck the black haired boy in the forehead with the snowball, power enough to knock him off his feet. Not seemingly worried over that small thing, he simply plastered on a smile on his face as he raised his hand slightly in the air and said in a cheerful voice that was very much in constrast to his earlier words and actions. "I'm Hiroki Katsuro! Your sensei! I am just gonna let you know now that I don't have any speeches that are filled with stupid philosophy, I don't listen to whining and I will kill you if I get scolded as your supervisor if you mess up." Although his face had a smile on it, the threat in his words was quite hard to miss.

Hiroki had no intention of treating them carefully and like they were going to be BFF's from day one. Oh no. He had seen it too often that people got killed because of things like that. Being too pampered only asked for one to get punished for that. As he waited for the black haired baby face to scramble back on his feet, Hiroki walked in a circle around them. As he did, he made sure to be as annoying close as he could be while making a small scoff or a displeased noise like he was looking at an expired food at the market. He had to admit though, he had good looking kids on his team. And those eyes which the girl had, simply breath taking. Well I guess I can be glad I don't have any uglies. He stopped in front of them again and drew in a deep breath before cracking his neck slightly.

He tapped a finger on his chin as he looked at them three, an amused expression on his face. "Now, I'd like you to tell me what your specialities are along with your age." Grabbing a small notebook from his pocket along with a pen, he stared at the black haired boy while waiting for his answer. A red mark was slowly appearing on the boy's forehead, and he would probably have a nice headache for a few minutes. "Oh! How silly of me.. I guess I also need your names. Although I wont promise I'll remember them, so I might just find some random nicknames on you guys. Hope you don't have a problem with that! Because I don't give a shit if you do!" Again came that fox-like grin as his eyes got a slightly paler red color to them while they shone a bit from the amusement. "And while we are at it, what's your cup size?" His gaze was pointed towards the raven haired girl, and the look on her sensei's face gave a hint that he was no way near kidding. Hope she's not too young...although I -was- told to keep my hands in my pockets.

His eyes were glued to her face for a second before he seemingly measured both the boys out as well with the piercing gaze of his. For a minute he tried to remember where he had seen those kind of eyes before, like the girl had. But it just wouldn't come to him. It's something obvious... something to do with.....blegh. And which one of the boys was someone that was of an important clan also? Well he'd probably be able to figure out when they'd say their names. Now, Hiroki was an exceptionally intelligent young man and succeded in anything he was interested in. But when it came to people.. then it was just not really important enough for him to think too much about. Unless of course when it meant he would get something in return.

Shin gave the girl who approached a curt nod, but turned to focused on the snowball, hoping that it would hit it’s intended destination. He realized now that he might have had the element of surprise if he had not yell, but he quickly let the mistake go, hoping deeply that the snowball would -smack- the sensei right upside his head. “Oh come on come on. Hit him RIGHT ON THE HEAD” he thought, almost completely ignoring the his other teammate as the snow she had kicked came up and lightly covered his short raven black hair.

“AWW DAMMIT” Shin threw his hands up in the air and slumped down slightly in his position as he saw the snowball hit the tree. He could have sworn his aim was perfect and the thought only aggravated him. “What’s the use of all this training if I cant hit my DAMN SENSEI IN THE FACE WITH A SNOWBALL”. he thought as he just noticed really noticed the other two Genin who had arrived on the scene. The one was a white haired kid a few inches shorter than Shin’s height. The other was the girl who had kicked snow at him in an attempt to play along with the snow fight.

The other boy ignored Shin completely and struck up a conversation with the girl and a slight glare came from Shin as he recognize the tone the other male had. “Doesnt even know her name and he’s already hitting on her. JEEZ!” he thought slightly annoyed at the other Genin’s attitude but when he looked at the girl and realized she was quite pretty and he found the familiar blush trace his face lightly. “Oh damn! Not now” he looked away from the girl and at the sensei who was now approaching, hoping that his blush would be mistaken as a result of the cold weather.

The sensei spoke while looking them over,“Well what a stupid question! NOOOOOOO!, we aren’t his team, we’re just some coincidental group of Genin.” Shin eyed the sensei, with a slightly raised eyebrow, "He isnt much older than us....he cant be -that- strong. I could totally take him!" Although perhaps he was a bit over confident, but his inner voice raged more as their sensei spoke again. “WHAT! LET US OUT EASILY! Like he would know! I bet he---” Shin’s thoughts were abruptly cut short as his face was abruptly slammed with a snowball straight to the forehead.

The snowball hit him with enough force at a slight angle that it caused him to spin and fall face-first into the cold snowy ground. "THAT HURT!" He didnt get up right away, “Always wait for the right moment” he remembered his fathers words, there was no way he was letting that go unpunished. Apparently their sensei was named ‘Hiroki Katsuro’ and as Shin listened to the man speak he felt his arrogance rise. “This man is our sensei?!” he thought focusing some katon chakra to his face and blowing it out his mouth in a small warm ball to slightly melt the snow so he could breath and keep himself less cold. It caused Shin anger that this man was so indifferent to the genin whom he would be teaching him. “If Im going to be the greatest shinobi ever, I'll have to teach this man a lesson." And he began to form a plan while the man continued to speak. It was clear that Hiroki's knew absolutely nothing about the students he was going to teach which made Shin’s task all the easier.

Shin formulated his plan while laying facedown in the snow, listening to the conversations. He needed to see where his sense was skilled and where he wasnt. Shin would learn to exploit the weaknesses and work around Hiroki's strengths. The words of his father ran though his mind as Shin both plotted and listened. The man would always discuss strategy with his son, whether Shin may have found it dreadfully boring or not. And his father believed that a fight should be fought not with physical strength, but with the mind; planning and observing were one’s best allies. It was this principle that Shin was using at this very moment as he waited to strike, listening to his sensei speak. That was true until Hiroki's had said something that totally distacted Shin’s battle plan. “HE ASKED HER CUP SIZE!? and with that thought Shin’s rational thinking went up in a poof of smoke.

“WHAT! SUCH AN INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION" Shin’s eyes went wide underneath the cool snow and he felt now was the most opportune moment to make his return to the exchange. Subtlety he withdrew a kunai from the front of his jacket which was hidden in the snow and made his move. He launched himself up and spun himself to face the man, Kunai held pointing inward from his fist as he launched himself at the Man. “The name is Shin Uchiha and I specialize in ninjutsu! You best remember the name IM GOING TO BE THE BEST SHINOBI EVER! BELIEVE IT!!!” he yelled as he launched toward the man his weapon aimed to cut the man’s face and if that failed his other fist was pulled back to slam the man in the face. He was gonna be the best Shinobi ever and he was gonna teach this inappropriate sensei a lesson one way or another.

Orihima watched as the boy's snowball flew right pace their sensei; hitting the tree behind him instead. Well, wasn't their sensei the smooth one? He hadn't even blinked. Then again, the boy had so easily made his presence known. More yelling came into her hearing, once again from the same boy that had thrown the snowball, thus causing her to turn to him. He obviously showed agitation with the fact that his snow ball had missed. Poor, buddy. Somewhere in her head, she laughed at him. That was in her head, of course. She still bared the ever-lasting indifferent expression. Seemingly out of nowhere to the kunoichi, another male popped up. In fact, he was talking to her and if she heard him right; which she was pretty sure she did; he was doing what she would classify as 'sweet talking'. Her lips pursed as she thought of how to respond whilst pink blush spreading more across her cheek. Anyone that knew her knew she hated blushing. Or more specifically, what it signaled.

"Aha..." she spoke, pushing back some of her jet-black hair. Her response didn't make much sense, that she knew, but hearing her sensei begin to speak made something in her go mute. He radiated arrogance with that smirk of his; eyes glistening a ruby red shade. Orihima's attention remained on him. It was kinda hard not to. As he approached, his arrogant grin opted for a displeased expression. She didn't like that. Oo, it was irritating. So irritating. "Quite obviously they do... Otherwise we wouldn't be here, sensei." with a low voice, eyebrows rose in the slightest; Orihima challenging the arrogant handsome man. While most probably would have said such words with sarcasm, the kunoichi did not. It came out as if she were honestly stating a simple fact. Just a mere seconds after retorting to her sensei; a snowball of his own was launched at lightning speed at her fellow black-haired peer. Man, things were not going his way, were they? He was swept off his feet and landed in the cold snow whilst she simply remained in her position, having ceased her snow-kicking.

A smile was once again on her sensei's face, hand raised slightly with a cheerful voice emitting from his lips. Imagining her parents reacting to his introduction was highly amusing. They would have thrown an absolute tantrum. If she wasn't so entranced, she probably would have lashed out. Hiroki was then circling them. It reminded her of a crow surrounding a dead body. Wait, was that the right bird? It didn't matter. They might as well have been dead meat should they 'tattle-tale' to their sensei's higher-ups. Oh, he was so close, too. Their was obviously no 'personal bubbles' with this man. Then again, perhaps that wasn't necessarily a bad thing? 'Heh...' she snickered somewhere in her dark little mind. Orihima heard a scoff coming from no one other than Hiroki. She should have known. The type of man he was couldn't be any more clearer in her head. He circled round and arrived in front of them, again. Like an interview for some magazine or newspaper; he whipped out a notebook and pen and proceeded to demand answers from the three. It was the usual questions; specialties, age, name, and... Cup size? She was shocked, surprised, and anything else that fitted into the category. Truly shocked.

Was this a joke? No, no-- While he did look amused by it all as if it were a joke, this was not a joke. Boy, would her father go nuts if he knew. Who knew sensei was such a pervert? It was like something in one of those cheesy comics or something! Her white milky eyes widened somewhat, pink blush turning into red, and her lips parted. "I'm... Orihima Hyuuga. I specialize in taijutsu and the lightning element," she paused and raised a finger, then pointing towards her chest, "and as for my breasts; why would you ever need to know, Hiroki-sensei?" she questioned with some valid concern. Before the kunoichi could get any answer, something rather dramatic happened. Her peer had launched himself from the snow and lashed out at their sensei. Oo, this wasn't going to end well! If he screwed up, they would screw up, and it would be anarchy! Orihima had to do something. Without another minute of weighing the cons and pros; she quickly grabbed for the boy, hoping with her speedy-self that she would be able to get him. "What the hell are you thinking!?" she hissed after him.

Mitsu didn't get much of a response, and he didn't really understand it. The boy's snowball obviously missed, Mitsu expected it. He sort of understood if the girl's response wasn't finished, as their sensei started talking. The girl made he own comment, but Mitsu decided to remain silent. Their sensei began to walk toward them, and he seemed something surprised of their ages. Mitsu had already been on a team for a short time, he assumed he was getting a new one since one of the members on his team became chuunin. But why was he transferred? Mitsu couldn't quiet figure out why. Their sensei apparently got his payback by nailing the other kid in the forehead. The boy then proceeded to turn a full one hundred eighty degrees and fall face first into the snow. Mitsu almost chuckled, but kept all his hints of emotion inside, and not revealing a thing. He figured the boy was going to get something like that when their sensei picked up some snow before walking over. Their sensei's speed was impressive and Mitsu could admire that, but hitting the kid back did seem a bit childish. He introduced himself to them with a happy tone. Mitsu could tell he wasn't kidding about the threat he made, so he took a mental note to follow orders the first time and not screw around with this man. He may have been young, but he was older, and their sensei, and Mitsu knew he had to give him respect, even if he turned out not to like him.

Hiroki then started to walk around them, intentionally invading any personal space they may have. He even made sounds as if he had disdain towards them, which he actually might have. Mitsu didn't care if Hiroki didn't like him or not. He knew he was either going to have to live with the gennin, or send him off to a new team and hope to get a better one. Mitsu didn't care in the least. This man came off as arrogant, which was a quality of people Mitsu didn't like. But he knew he was somewhat arrogant himself, meaning he was a bit of a hypocrite. This was something Mitsu was aware of. It seemed that the boy wasn't getting up. Did he really hit him that hard? Or is that kid just planning something? Mitsu didn't look in his direction, as he really didn't care, nor want to. He was going to get to know his team soon enough. It seemed to turn into an interview as Hiroki took out a notebook and pencil and requested that they list their names and abilities. He was surprised that the man would ask such a vulgar question to a girl of that age. Mitsu had to retain his slight anger and keep his respect for him, even though it was already beginning to fade. The girl spoke first. A Hyuuga, huh? I should have guessed from those eyes. Mitsu decided to go next since the other boy wasn't moving. "I am Mitsuhide Katsudo. I am of the Shikotsumyaku bloodline, currently specializing in taijutsu, and currently posses control of the ration element." It was at this point, that the boy stood up and introduced himself and his goal with passion and attempted to lunge at their sensei. This cause Mitsu to look over at him, looking past Orihima. Is this boy trying to kill himself? He knew his sensei would have kicked his ass with ease, but Orihima suddenly reached out and grabbed him, then scolded him. Mitsu merely stood there, turning the rest of his body, and watched.

An energetic Uchiha? I feel like the world is about to implode on itself. But indeed it seemed like that boy was from that special clan whom everybody were praising for being soooo talented. And I just -had- to get the one Uchiha that is probably the reason most use a condom. What great luck. It wasn't as if Hiroki was that surprised at the yelling and sudden launching in the air of the boy, rather.. he would have gotten surprised if there hadn't been any response to his KO snowball earlier. It was like this boy just had to make a big deal out of anything and well, seemed to be very quick in snapping. Now a reasonable and mature person would have handled the situation calmly without resorting to violence, while making a mental note to take it a little easy on this Genin while forming him to become a good ninja with patience. Good thing then that Hiroki wasn't a reasonable and mature person.

The look on his face didn't change the least bit as his leg was raised up in the air and met with the boy's chest while he was still in the air. Just then, Hiroki noticed that the girl which had introduced herself as a Hyuuga had already managed to grab onto the boy and had seemingly been about to keep scolding him. Ah well. He proceeded in pushing a little harshly at the boy so he would fly a bit backwards and land again with his face down in the snow. I do hope he's fond of snow. Before he had a chance to do anything more than lie there and probably try to regain any breath into his lungs after the impact with Hiroki's leg, his sensei was quickly at his side. "You are one of the reasons I love my job." He proceeded then in sitting down -on- the boy before propping his elbow up on his knee while leaning his head on his hand with a rather bored expression. In this position, Shin's hands were secured between him and Hiroki... or in other words then Shin was now literally feeling up his sensei's butt. "Oh hey, you should have bought me a drink first at least!" Joked Hiroki, just to be mean. He knew it was pretty much his own fault along with coincidence that they had ended up THAT way. "Alright so all in all, it's Shin Uchiha a ninjutsu specialist who's aiming to be the best Shinobi ever, Orihima Hyuuga a taijutsu specialist whom also has her first element, and then finally it's Mitsuhide Katsudo a taijutsu specialist who is of the Shikotsumyaku clan whom I have no idea what is. Oh and you also have that ration element. Care to tell me a bit more of your clan so I can have an idea what I'm dealing with here?"

His gaze traveled down to his sitting cushine as he poked at Shin's back. "Hey, isn't it a bit depressing that they both have an element and you don't?" Grinning slightly he then went back to looking at the other two. "I would have to comment though that none of you told me your age. Are you purposely avoiding that question or are you all just a bit dense?" Ah this team seemed to be on a good way of having some close emotional bonding and all that. It was clear that how this all begun, Hiroki was going to succeed in having none of them particularly fond of him. Oh right, the girlie had a question about my motive? "Well miss Hyuuga, I was curious. That's a pretty nice reason right? I mean I only have one female on my team and that alone is already depressing enough. So I figured I should try to get to know my female student well." As he spoke his hand had started moving, filling his palm with snow as it started to shove the snow down Shin's back. I wonder if he has activated his sharingan ability yet, and also how far is the girl in the Hyuuga training?

Standing up as to allow the boy that was underneath him to gain somewhat of his composure, Hiroki then leaned down and pulled him up by grabbing the collar of his coat and pulling harshly. "Try something like that again without my permission of playing, and I can assure you that you will be spending the rest of your day at the hospital. Genin's have accidents all the time, so no one would really question your injuries that much. And I'm pretty sure your two teammates wouldn't tell anyone about what happened since they care about their health also." His voice was loud enough for them all to hear as he then patted Shin on the head before starting to look around. As they would try and come up with the answers for him, he was gonna figure out what he should have them do for now.

"Alright! For today the training will be like this. You are supposed to be able to hit me with a snowball one time before lunch time. It doesn't matter which one of you hits me with it or if you all want to do it." Hiroki checked his watch before tapping on it. "That gives you around 3 and half hours. Now you are given permission to use any means necessary, because honestly I don't see this happening unless you come at me with a killing intent. If any of you intend to just relax and let the others try, then I have a special surprise for that person that will most likely be sending them back to the Academy." He looked at each and every one of them. "If you don't manage to hit me with a snowball before said time, then you will treat me for lunch wherever I want to eat and tomorrow we will have another early training lesson. However, if you manage to hit me once then I will treat you to lunch and consider you good enough to skip further training and go on missions with me."

He took a few steps backwards before holding his hands out. "I will of course be moving around, and you gotta actually find me to be able to hit me. And the game starts NOW." With a poof of smoke he was gone, reappearing not that far away in the woods where he leaned lazily against a tree. I should probably start making traps or something...

Shin flew towards his Sensei, weapon at the ready and his fist arced for a punch to the Man’s face when he suddenly felt a grip on his clothing and heard the girl speak, but the words didnt register in Shin’s head as the adrenaline surged due to his attack at the Jounin. However, his plan didnt work out quite like he had hoped. Hiroki’s knee snapped up and caught Shin in the chest before either of his attacks landed and he felt the air fly from his lungs as he flew back and spiraled around, landing out of breath on his back yet again in the snow which was beginning to add up on the ground.

He gasped for breath a few times before suddenly having the air pushed out of him again. ”AHH!! GET IT OFF ME!!!“ he sqirmed and jerked violently as his sensei sat on him. “I AM NOT A CHAIR” he continued to squirm, ”GAAAAAAAAAAH THIS THING MUST WEIGH ATLEAST 1 BAJILLION POUNDS!“ he squirm once more before giving up for a bit, taking in as much air as he could with the bajillion-pounder sitting on him, who was clearly not going anywhere.

Shin grumbled as their Sensei adressed them before returning his attention to the young Uchiha, ” "Hey, isn't it a bit depressing that they both have an element and you don't?" the man said before turning back to the other two and asking why none of them had said their age. IM NOT DENSE! I WAS JUST DISTRACTED WHILE TRYING TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE! AND and I DO HAVE AN ELEMENT HERE I’LL SHOW YOU!he wiggled his hands underneath the butt of his Sensei for several seconds before he realized what he was doing, ”EWWW I JUST FELT UP MY SENSEI!!! EW EW EW! His face turned a deep red from embarrassment as he spoke again this time quietly, “Nevermind I wont show you.....”

His rambunctious attitude came back when Hiroki returned the subject to Orihima cup size. Shin yelled his face still flushed out of embarrassment , “YOU CANT ASK HER THAT! SHE’S YOUR STUDENT AND YOU’RE LIKE OLD! YOU CAN NOT GET TO KNOW HER LIKE -THAT-” Shin began to squirm again trying to force the man off of him, but alas the pitiful Uchiha failed yet again. ”GEt off me I‘ll kick your ass!“ he flailed a bit trying to move but was unable.

Then suddenly Hiroki stood up and pulled Shin up by his collar speaking directly to him again, ”"Try something like that again without my permission of playing, and I can assure you that you will be spending the rest of your day at the hospital. Genin's have accidents all the time, so no one would really question your injuries that much. And I'm pretty sure your two teammates wouldn't tell anyone about what happened since they care about their health also." Shin’s eyes turned into a glare, his bluish gray orbs staring directly into Hiroki’s eyes as the man put Shin back on the ground. Through the entire exchange Shin had to bite his tongue. ’Well what’d you know?! My mother was right, my mouth can get me into trouble‘he thought as he listened to the task the Sensei had set out before them. He had no fear of the Sensei...he had little fear over anything, but the Sensei especially did not scare him. When the man turned back to face the other two Shin stuck his tongue out lightly.

Once he heard Hiroki begin to set a task, Shin listened intently, his mind jumping towards the many strategic lessons his father had taught him. 'Hit him with a snowball..........but use any means necessary........ ' Shin thought, his mind instantly beginning to calculate which strategy to utilize. He glanced at the other two, what could they possibly have planned, they were both Taijutsu specialists, their only real chance would be to get in close.

Shin gave the other two a curt nod and took disappeared with a flash step, plotting his next move from a treetop in wooded area of the training ground. His mind continued to run through strategy lessons, "Identification of objectives......hit them an with a snowball" he was sure there was something his father said, something about involving team mates, but that couldnt have been that important. He continued plotting as he watched the actions of the other two from the treetops.

Oh, the madness that which this team was showing to possess. Orihima just knew her sensei was going to retaliate. He had already done it before, why stop now? As if some god knew what she was thinking and decided to reassure her statement; Hiroki's foot clashed with Shin's chest and down he went. "Ooph!" she grunted as the impact was enough to bring her down as well. Perhaps she shouldn't have tried to catch the Uchiha? Whatever. The damage had already been done. She landed beside him, glaring. Orihima didn't direct it at anyone, per say, but her irritation was clearly shown with such expression. Hiroki then proceeded to sit on Shin. Oh joy. The only kunoichi bit her lip and propped herself with her elbows. Boy, it was a lot colder down there.

"You're going to give us all head aches! We're quite aware your not a chair, for they don't scream and make rational actions! Bajillion isn't even a word, you foolish child!" she lashed out. However, her voice was equivalent to a whisper. It was a hiss just like before. She might as well have been a snake, at the moment. To be quite honest, she didn't doubt for a single second that she went unheard. It was kinda hard with the screaming Uchiha next to her. Weren't they supposed to be mellow and stoic?

'He's like a little attention whore, I swear.' she rolled her eyes whilst hearing the disgusted and embarrassed wails from Shin as he 'felt up' Hiroki. Orihima almost kinda envied him. This wasn't the time to be thinking like that, though. Their was serious business to be dealt with! Jet-black strands of hair hung around her face. Some strayed out of place while other's attempted to affect her line of vision. Given the current way she looked; it wasn't hard to put together that she was oh so pleasantly pissed off. "Well, from the looks of it, I would say we're all probably in our mid teenage years, wouldn't you agree? You would think since you've taken the liberty of discussing my breasts that you would have at least gave a glance at them and concluded I've 'developed' some in that area, thus meaning I'm old enough to actually have them. So, Hiroki-sensei, I'm fourteen; almost fifteen. As for my breasts, I would think that someone just as smooth and risky as you would have been able to give a good guess just by looking at them. I mean, you do probably spend majority of your time just being frolicked by the ladies, huh? They're 36B, sweet cakes." she retorted; some words just dripping and oozing of poison.

It was then that Hiroki finally got off of Shin and promptly began to threaten him. Orihima had to admit she felt the slightest pang of feeling sorry for the guy. Then again, this was all kinda his fault. He was the one that started it all, anyways. The kunoichi huffed. Those men; just so complicated. 'Maybe that's why I like 'em.' she mused in her head. 'HEY, not right now. Good god. How many times do I gotta tell you?!' her better of senses roared, pushing the perverted snickering girl in her back into the corner of her brain. It was time to get off the ground. She wasn't spoiled and she didn't have the largest of egos, but she the sure hell was better than just a helpless girl laying on the cold snow. Orihima brushed herself and stood up right, hair still positively in a disarray. 'Hit sensei with a snowball? Three and a half hours? Killing intent? Oh, trust me, I wanna hurt you so bad... Maybe 'make-up' afterwards. Heh... Hehehe--OH dammit, shut the hell up. Yeah, 'kay, gotta find Hiroki before we can hit him with a snowball. Byakugan should help with that. A free lunch sounds mighty delicious, too. It would sure the hell be nice if I can get these two retards to work with me. Oooph... Can't wait.' and with these thoughts; her sensei then poofed away as if he were some fairy.

The only kunoichi of the group peered at both Shin and Mitsu. Up and away their little Uchiha birdie went into the treetops. 'I am definitely gonna have to talk to him after this, I swear... Foolish fool of foolery--GAH. Back to work.' with those final thoughts, she shook her head and activated her Byakugan. Veins seemed to decorate around her eyes. While she was used to it, she never ceased to find an individual to usually wig out and look at her with disgust. 'I'll have to keep on the look out for chakra points. He'll have plenty and as far as I know, we're the only ones in the area. Shouldn't be too hard.' and with that, she carefully browsed the area and waltzed towards the very border of the forest; daring to enter. 'I'll find you, pretty-boy.'

Shin's attempt failed miserably. The kick from their sensei managed to make Orihima accidentally fall over as well. Hiroki then sat on him, then made a pervy comment. Just great, I get stuck with a sensei like this...I suppose this is the hokage's payback for surprising him with that cat from before. The boy was slightly amusing, but very annoying. He wanted to just shout at the little ass clown, but that wouldn't be like him. Mitsu just stood there, seeming calm and cool and whatnot. Hiroki didn't know what his bloodline was, and assumed it was a clan. He wasn't surprised. Most people had heard of the original clan, but not of the bloodline. Most also assumed the bloodline was the clan name as well. "Well, Shikotsumyaku is just the name of my bloodline. The clan is actually well known, but my name is not involved with it since it died some time ago, but one day, I plan to rise it from its ashes. As for the name of the clan, you will be able to figure it out in due time."

Hiroki then continued to speak, going back to the cup size thing. There is something wrong with this guy's head... Orihima spoke afterwords. She was putting emphasis on the fact that he was their sensei, meaning he shouldn't be acting that way. B26...not great, but not too bad either. Mitsu left the thought out of his mind after thinking it. He knew he had to watch out and not piss off Orihima either. Their sensei spoke his challenge to them. Hitting him with a snowball...very hard. Seems easy, but not when your target is a frigging ninja. Especially a jounin at that. Hiroki suddenly disappeared in a cloud of smoke. He can't be too far off... Mitsu then bent over and picked up some snow. Thankfully he actually brought and wore gloves. They were thin enough for flexibility, but easily kept moisture out as well as the cold. He bagan forming it into a ball and then Shin flash stepped somewhere not too far. So all that was left was Mitsu and Orhima. She had already activated her Byakugan. Mitsu was hardly ever creeped out at anything, and this was no differed. The veins that protruded around the eyes were more interesting than anything else. He knew at least the two of them needed a strategy, so he would ask for her input if she had any. "I think this is obvious, but we need to be a team and to stick somewhat together. We will most likely need Shin's help too, but lets try to see how far we can get on our own. Any means necessary can be an advantage. I'm pretty good at manipulating projectiles I throw when metal wire is attached. So that can be an advantage. I know you are most likely trying to find them, so I'll just shut up for now and then we can make a plan."

Now, he didn't know how far that Shin guy was with his Sharingan but at the moment it didn't matter as much as how much the girl had evolved. Hiroki knew somewhat the basic information on the Byakugan and therefore had a good feeling that the three would find him in not such a long time. Or at least she would, there wasn't any guaranteeing that the guys had stuck together with her. Sighing the Jounin scratched his head as he looked at his surroundings. There wasn't really any -plan- going on there. There was just him... waiting to be hit by a snowball? Now now, I can make this a bit more fun. Finding a spot where there was relatively little snow, he crouched down and made the needed handseals. "Earth Clone Jutsu." Out of the earth, with a slight struggling due to the frozen materials, formed slowly his twin made of earth. "Alright, you go and dig large holes there and there and there. Then place small branches over along with leaves you can find and the snow will take care of covering the rest." The earthclone nodded and jumped off, while Hiroki looked up in the sky and hoped that the snowing would either keep up like this, or get a bit more fierce.

Now he got himself busy with moving from tree to tree and placing explosive tags on them and around them, until he had formed a big X out of 20 trees. Now some of the explosive tags were pretty obvious and the Genin could probably remove them, but.. at such trees there were more than 1 explosive tag at a time and if they did intend to hurry up before the limited time then there wouldn't be any time for them to stop each time they saw a new explosive tag. And if the earthclone would be doing his job, then there would be hole traps at each end and to the sides of this X. Here and there, he leaned down in the snow and placed an almost invisible thread which was stretched over the ground right in front of a hole trap that had just been dug, so that if someone would trip, they would end up down there. The holes weren't much more than 1 meter deep since they had a limited time, but it would at least serve it's purpose of making the Genin more careful and have to follow their instincts better. Now as he moved backwards into the X-fort of explosing tags, he randomly made small traps like if you stepped down on the thread you got hauled in the air by a tree branch that was tied to the thread, or there was a smoke bomb randomly placed where one could easily step on it if you didn't know where it was.

Hiroki's hand went down to the single puppet scroll he had brought with him, and right as he touched it and focused on how it was shaped, a small smirk crossed his lips. "Oh I have you with me. I think I can probably use you to give them a somewhat of a more challenge." Taking a time to think though, wasn't he being a bit extreme? I have tons of traps... am gonna use my puppet to torture them a bit... but they are just.. brats. GAH there should be a handbook for how far you can push your Genin on the first day.. The earth clone made it's appearance next to Hiroki, informing that the digging was done and the snow was doing a good job to cover it up. "Good good..dismissed." He canceled the earth clone and then retreated further into the middle of the X he had made. Now I wait and see what they do. It should take them some time to make it where he was now, and then he would probably start making them dance around by blowing up one and one tags. Or he could always do something else... oh the possibilities.

Spoiler:

Shin’s mind calculated the best possible attack. It was obvious that rushing in would be a bad tactic, after all who knew what his Sensei would surely set up some traps. A smirk crossed his face, of course, given the attitude he had displayed throughout the entire meeting would anyone expect him to not run in? Everyone surely thought that he was a hot-headed ‘shoot first ask questions later’ kind of guy, which was exactly what he wanted, it left them open to surprise when he did something smart and he would be sure to use that to his advantage.

From up in the treetops Shin made his first move, ''And so the pawn moves two spaces he though as he he finished his hand signs and they were accompanied by a 4 clouds of smoke. And suddenly Orihima, Mitsu and Shin ran off into the forest infront of where Shin had been sitting.or so it would seem. While at the same time Shin ran off in the direction of where he had left his teammates quickly re-applying his ‘mask’.

In another flash Shin appeared next to Orihima a blush on his face, "Yeah....I sorta forgot... " he looked down, his face flushed with embarrassment, he watched his feet as he shifted them back and forth. "IsortaforgotyouwereaHyuugaandhadtheByakugan!" he said flushing his embarrassment out of his system with one jumbled and ridiculously fast sentence. He rubbed the back of his head and then suddenly looked up at the Hyuuga, his attitude suddenly changed. "WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR LETS FIND THE BASTARD!!!!"


The three genin bounded into the forest as fast as they were able, however one of the three was not so pleased about being acompanied by the other two."NO! GO AWAY! I'LL FIND SENSEI ON MY OWN!!" he stomped slightly as he ran off by himself muttering under his breath."I will find him without the help of those two!". It would seem that Shin, nor the other two had thought of any traps that may lay ahead of them as they bounded off in search of their hidden sensei.

Orihima was just on the border of the forest; scanning the area with her Byakugan. If her sensei was smart enough, which she sure he was, he would have some sort of surprise waiting for them. Whether it be clones, explosives, holes, seals; there would be something. A cold wind blew by leaving the girl's already tousled hair to blow around. Even with a few strands of hair occasionally swaying in her eyes, she never ceased scanning, let alone allow it to distract her thoughts. "Yes, it is obvious." she replied with a rather monotone voice to her less-spastic quiet member of their team. One could say she almost sounded uninterested or slightly robotic. Even with her dead-set focus, she somehow was able to compute what else the boy had to say. 'Manipulating projectiles?' Her lips pursed slightly in thought. It was then some sort of interest and amusement flooded her face; eye brows rising and eyes slightly enlarging.

"Well, we'll have to see how that can help. On another note, I must say it is quite apparent our Hiroki-sensei has laid a various amount of explosive tags in what seems to be an 'x' formation. At least, that's what it's starting to look like. I--", it was then that she was interrupted by another voice. The busy kunoichi had almost assumed it was Mitsu, seeing as her back had been turned against him and he had been the only one there, but something was fishy. Her attention shifted away from the forest and to the new individual next to her. 'Shin? The baby-bird Uchiha?' she questioned herself. Yes, it was Shin the baby-bird Uchiha. 'Forgot? What nonsense could he possibly be going on about now?' she questioned once again, more agitated with a dash of concern thrown in the mix. He bared a blush across his cutesy face and overall looked rather sheepish. Orihima had to admit, it was rather cute. Stupidly cute. He refused to look at her and continued to fumble with his feet.

Her eyes squinted at him as if to question what the hell he was doing only for her expression to change more into a look as if to question whether he was hyped up on a ridiculous amount of caffeine. Why was all his attention directed at her, anyways? It was as if Mitsu didn't even exist. Speaking of Mitsu, she sent a look over at him as if perhaps he had the answer to her question. I-orta-orgot-you-were-a-yuuga-and-ad-the-Bya-gan. The hell did he just say? He was speaking too damn fast. Orihima quickly rewound it in her head and replayed. After a few seconds, no-- more like a fraction of a second, it suddenly all made sense to her. He rubbed the back of his head and finally looked at her, only to do what he did best; screaming and yelling like a complete lunatic. 'I liked the sheepish Shin more.' she thought to herself as she winced as he cheered them all on. It was irritating, really.

"Shiiiiin." she hissed in desperation for him to stop his yelling. "We'll find the bastard of a sensei, just..." she huffed loudly and placed a hand on the Uchiha's shoulder closest to her. "...Please... Show some composure." she practically begged him whilst slightly digging her nails into his shoulder. "Now, we have to be careful, because as I was saying before you interrupted me," she glanced at him with a raised eyebrow to see his reaction, "it would seem our Hiroki-sensei; bastard; whatever you wish to call him, has set up many explosive tags in what appears to be an 'x' formation. I think it wouldn't be wisest option to attempt and disarm them all, perhaps a few, but otherwise we should probably just focus on reaching sensei. If he's got those traps set up, I wouldn't doubt if he has more. So," she turned back towards the woods with her Byakugan only to spot three moving figures in the not-so far away distance, "We... Should... Be careful." her jaw clenched slightly before cutting her color-less eyes at the Uchiha.

"Shin.. Shin, did you make clones while you were gone? Because it would appear one of them has gone in a complete different direction than the other two! Whatever you have done, I sure the hell hope they prove useful!" she scratched her head in mild irritation. "Perhaps the clones will set off a few explosives and distract sensei whilst we approach from a different angle." as if she suddenly liked the boy's idea. "Either way, we should get moving. I'll guide with my Byakugan." and with that; Orihima was the first genin; non-clone wise, to enter the woods and began traveling towards wherever Hiroki was. She kept her eyes open for possible traps as well as any individuals within the area; clone or not. The kunoichi assumed her teammates were close nearby. She held onto a kunai just in case.

Orihima had began to speak and was interrupted by the loudmouth genin; Shin. Mitsu was already annoyed with him and knew he would be a pain. He already didn't like one Uchiha, and he didn't want another. At least this one gave him a chance to make friends. Perhaps he had a ration element and Mitsu could teach him. Or that Shin would have katon control and he could either learn with or from him when he became good enough with ration. But for now, he had no use towards him but being an annoying team member. Mitsu was surprised at how cold hearted he was being, even though it was in his head. He didn't like thinking this way and cast it from his mind. The genin was hard to hear when he ran the words together, but Mitsu was able to understand, but just barely. He shrugged when Orihima looked at him because he had no idea himself about that child.

"Shin.. Shin, did you make clones while you were gone? Because it would appear one of them has gone in a complete different direction than the other two! Whatever you have done, I sure the hell hope they prove useful!" Mitsu paid full attention to what all she was saying. her suggestion to playing at a different angle would be helpful as well. Mitsu bent over and grabbed some snow and started making a snowball, and forced a few spikes out of his arm. Each time Mitsu made a snowball, he would impale it on the spike, then pick up more snow and repeat the process. The spikes were thin in diameter, so the snowballs wouldn't break or anything. This was basically Mitsu's ammo clip he had just improvised.

A lone bird circled the sky, it's small wings providing it the freedom to soar around as it wanted while looking down on the puny humans which were so limited to the ground. It's small, black eyes traveled over the ground below, as it took in the sight of the young ninjas. But what was slightly different about this bird than others, were the black letters on it's back. Deep in the forest, with his lean body resting against a tree, his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, Hiroki was relaxing. His eyes were closed, and on his right eyelid was the same seal as the seal on the back of the bird. The images of what the bird was seeing flooded into Hiroki's mind, making a small smile appear on his lips. For a minute he had gotten a bit irritated as the bird had seemingly found it more important to dig after worms than flying immediately away, but now he felt very glad as he was able to see his bothersome little team heading at a fast speed into the forest. Were they truly that stupid? Deciding to have a little bit of faith in the kids, Hiroki kept his eye closed while waiting to see something remarkable which they might do. And that was when he spotted Shin on his way back towards where the forest begun.

Wait a minute now.. At first the horrible thought of 2 Shin's on his team entered Hiroki's mind before he came to the conclusion that those he had seen earlier would most probably be clones. Geez I shouldn't scare myself like that. Using his mental powers to try and kick the bird to keep flying in the same direction that Shin was moving, instead of circling over a stupid tree branch, Hiroki let out a small scowl before concentrating again. There..just a little bit further you damned fluffball of feathers. And there! There he saw the girl and the other boy, as they stood still and were seemingly thinking about what to do. Naturally the bird was a bit high up in the sky, so Hiroki wasn't able to see any details, but this was enough for now. Hiroki felt very safe to assume that it had indeed been clones that he saw earlier, as it wasn't likely the other two would be moving as fast ahead into danger as that silly little Uchiha boy. Oh no, that girl would probably take lead while using her Byakugan to try and find traces of the traps and then of Hiroki himself. Not feeling the least interested in being linked to the sparrow for longer, Hiroki opened his right eye, and therefore broke the contact with the sparrow. Raising his hand lazily, he then swept away the seal off his eyelid with the sleeve of his jacket.

Digging up his Ipod from his bag, feeling very happy that he didn't forget it at home, he started shuffling around on the playlist. It was important to find a song that fit the mood and circumstances. Oh ..this band never fails. His finger found the play button, and then Hiroki made a few dance steps on the ground. He was blasting 3OH!3's "Don't Trust Me" in his ears, a very pleased look stretching over his handsome face. Not bad at all little Shin. Seems like that brat wont be letting me down as quickly as I had anticipated. "You tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef. That I'm a vegetarian and I aint fucking scared of him. She wants to touch me, woo ooh.." Stretching his lean body as he murmured the lyrics to the song, a little bit off tune but no one really cares about that when they are alone in a forest, Hiroki started to make his way towards where he had noticed the clones going. From the looks of it, then it didn't seem likely the actual team would be moving as fast so it would be a sport to take out the clones first. "Well, I guess I wont be -taking them out- also... I suppose." He was pretty sure he would be able to come up with some tragic story about how the Genin's had gotten eaten by a bear or something, but well those Hyuuga and Uchiha clans could prove difficult to convince.

While murmuring the lyrics of the next song as well, Hiroki moved with high speed through where his traps were laid, until he stopped. Putting his hand down into his pocket, he retrieved a single kunai which he used to cut a very thin string that was fastened to rather big tree which was being forced to lean a bit down. And BOOM goes the dynamite. He jumped backwards, niftly avoiding all strings and holes, while watching the tree spring upwards and throw a couple of dozens exploding kunais into the direction those clones would be coming from. It was mainly just to be able to hear some exploding, and also to perhaps spook the kids a bit. He would be sure to finish off the clones as soon as they'd come too close, that was if that little explosion trick hadn't done the job. While keep moving backwards, he was finally back at the middle of the X while still listening to random explosions. When the kunais from the tree had sprung free, they had activated the next 4 rows of trees with them. A blinding light from the explosions filled the area of a few meters, flying splinters and pieces from trees flying at a dangerous speed towards whomever might be unfortunate enough to get too close. "I hope no Greenpeace sees how those poor trees are now."

Now the question was, would his team stop and see what was happening and then attempt to go through with their current plan or decide to go where the explosions had been set off, while hoping that the traps would be minimal there? Hiroki clapped his hands together while smirking. I just -can't- stand here and do nothing! Moving his hands at a rapid speed, he made the needed handseals. "Earth Clone Jutsu." And soon enough his twin from earth was standing next to him. "Alright, you go and check how those clones did and kill them off if there is any left of them. In the meanwhile, I wonder if I'll stay here or move a bit closer. Maybe they need some.. motivation to move faster..." Tapping a finger on his chin, he patted the puppet scroll on his hip with his other hand. The clone nodded as it jumped off, leaving Hiroki as he was thinking about making things more exciting. That was usually how he worked. He didn't quite get the concept of working without using too flashy moves, as he just loved surprising and scaring his opponents. I wish I could see the snotty Byakugan girl fall into one of the holes that were dug.. I doubt her Byakugan can see that... although you can never know. Byakugan was something that irritated him a bit, as it might be able to cut out some of his fun.

Spoiler:

Following the Hyuuga into the forest, Shin was working all angles he could in silence. Shin’s attention suddenly snapped up as the sounds of the explosions ricocheted through the forest and his brain immediately went into strategic mode; “It would seem I was right to assume their were traps.”, he stared off towards the forest in silence for a moment as he formulated another plans, seemingly ignoring his teammates, but he took note of all their words. An X formation, with several traps....., His mind ran through a series battle simulations and he spoke aloud while thinking, "Disarming the traps would most likely consume our limited time span" he said; his childish facade dropped, “Yet rushing in without disarming them pushes us towards a path of physical injury.”

His eyes glanced over the two other Genin as he turned to face them, continuing to speak, “Two Taijutsu specialists and a Ninjutsu specialist.....you two are less than useful unless we can get close, the trees prove as a barrier to most ranged attacks and we cant split up or we lose our eyes...” His hand motioned toward the Hyuuga, "The way I see it, we either rush in and risk physical injury or waste times and make more bushin, hoping that they convince sensei to set off traps. Pick your poison I suppose" Making several handsigns, he created two more and sent them off in different directions hoping to serve as a distraction. With their current abilities, this seemed to be a pointless excercise and he knew their sensei would know this.... ”Bastard probably just wants a free meal“.

OOC: Short -cowers in fear- please dont crucify me.

The three Genin waltzed around the forest a bit more; cautious and steady. Orihima couldn't speak for the other's, well- Maybe Shin, but she was becoming quite anxious. A step over here and a step over there. Just how much longer would this take? The Hyuuga's eyes roamed mostly in front of her, though occasionally towards the sides and even here or there at the far off distance. She spotted an explosive tag awfully close. "Explosive tag. Five feet away. Straight ahead." the kunoichi stated whilst beginning to take a few steps over to avoid it. It was then that a fantastically loud series of booms emitted through out the forest. Orihima Hyuuga blinked hard. She hadn't stepped on one. Shin and Mitsu hadn't stepped on one either. It sounded far off, but not too far away. Whether it had been Shin's clones that triggered it, some poor stray animal, or Hiroki-sensei himself; it set the kunoichi on edge.

"Disarming all traps would be very time consuming, and yes, rushing in would heighten the chance of injury." she agreed with the Uchiha. "A sticky and irritable situation; and I know irritable situations when I come across them." she spoke lowly while slowing her steps somewhat. You could say it was almost like an attempt at a joke for her. "Yes, splitting up doesn't exactly sound like the brightest idea of ideas, either." as Shin gestured towards her with his eye statement. Her Byakugan was quite useful, after all. So it came down to either rushing in or stalling with bunshin, hmm? Orihima furrowed her eyebrows. Time was valuable, at least, at the moment it was and the Hyuuga didn't want to throw it around. There wasn't really that much time to waste. "I say we actually go straight forward. We don't have much time to waste and frankly, continuing to make bunshin will only draw out the process and burn up chakra. Hiroki-sensei is too smart for them, anywaAAH--"

A thud, thump, thwack; whatever you so wish to imagine that sound effect, seeped it's way into hearing. Orihima had fallen into one of the holes left by their dearest sensei. Lovely. The kunoichi groaned and grunted while getting back up onto her feet. Damn, that hurt. She spat out the disgusting taste of dirt with a small dash of blood; courtesy of hitting her lip against the hard earth. "Well, it's not just explosive tags. Watch out for holes, too." she growled while climbing out of the man made hole. Dirt stains mocked her as they stood out on the knees of her pants. She crawled out; almost appearing as something out of a horror movie; long black hair in a messy heap with such a irritated and somewhat pained expression. Her low growls probably didn't help. It was almost humorous. After back on her feet, she looked at both the boys. "So? We gonna go head on?"
