Team Kaosu? Should be Team Shihouin!

Whatever he had to say, Shihouin didn't really care but he would give him a proper response. It was hell finding out that the same guy he had no care for and no room in his heart for would now be his Jounin in charge. Pffft. This guy? Mr. Nice Jounin? Shihouin didn't like it but if this guy was his shot to becoming stronger then he would have to listen to him. Shihouin would seem to have an attitude change but it would just be his true desire to get stronger surfacing over his delinquent personality. Shihouin had a goal and like most shinobi he would attempt to reach it. Getting on a team and becoming stronger, advancing his Sharingan, doing missions, it was all in the palm of his hands now.

He didn't like the Jounin that much, but he was the one willing to give up the time and efforts to teach him. Shihouin couldn't help but take this and run with it. "Look Kaosu," Shihouin corrected himself. "Kaosu-sensei, it's not you. I would have done the same thing to the Hokage. I mean well. I'm just not going to hide and wait. I had a plan to safely get away. If that failed and I died, then I would have died stalling the guy until someone else came or had the time to stop him." Shihouin looked his new teacher directly in his eyes. He even opened his Sharingan to him. Of course he didn't open it in a threatening manner, but did it very seriously. "This blood running in my veins is full of pride. It's not the pride that gets the best of me though, and it's not these eyes either." Shihounin tried to explain. "I'm not scared to die. I'm not. Death isn't something that I fear. Of course if you were to attempt to try and kill me right now, I would show some fear for a second. When I am fighting to become stronger, fighting for my goal, things like death are irrelevant. You might think I'm dumb for willing to die so soon in my life, but I'm not. Just because I'm not scared to die doesn't mean I'll be reckless. If I'm going to be on your team then you should understand that about me Kaosu-sensei."

Shihouin's mood clicked back into his playful, rude self. He didn't like explaining himself to people and opening up his feelings and goals. Those were private issues which he held within his heart for only him to know. He felt sort of strange after telling Kaosu that, but he figured he would have to anyways. Starting now, he'd be around him much, much more often than normal so personal issues had a huge chance of leaking out. Now that was over, it was time to get back to the purpose of being on the team. "Hey since you're in charge and all, I'll do what you say but don't get mad if I forget a sensei or address you by your first name rudely, Kaosu." He was joking. "So Kaosu-sensei! Now that' you're my leader how do you feel to have such a talented Uchiha on your team? You scored big, I know, I know! Don't get too proud, you've got a lot to teach me so let's start now!" Shihouin quickly backed away and was serious about a light spar.

Shihouin was joking with him, but there was some truth in what he wanted to do. The part about him being a talented Uchiha on his team was pushing the envelop but he wanted to get stronger and he felt that he would have to play strong to be treated strongly. Either way, Shihouin would be a handful for Kaosu. Shihouin just hoped that Kaosu was ready.

Kaosu seemed to keep the half smile he had going and his hand out. He looked at the hand and the boy did not even reach for it. This was not a good sign at all. He did not like the fact that he was once again disrespected and would have to show this kid the way. Shihouin began talking and Kaosu would listen to the entire speech before doing saying anything. He had been in the same position the whole speech. It dawned on Kaosu that this boy was truly an Uchiha, which could mean very bad things. He, would not even listen to the Hokage had he been told, and this was truly a pathetic thing to hear. Had the boy not listened, things could have gone very wrong. Kaosu was soon very angry, but did not show it. He let the boy finish talking for the most part, but seemed rather annoyed. He did not enjoy the way this little meeting was going and was surely not how he excepted any of his Genin to be like. However, they were children and many things changed since he had been young. He would have to teach his boy how to act around everyone.

The boys mood soon changed, but Kaosu knew he only acted like this because he wanted to start training and not be on the wrong foot with his sensei. He shook his head and still had the smile on his face. "Is that how you really feel?" He finally spoke up to the boy. His hand that was suppose to be to shake, soon met the face of the Genin. Kaosu stood up and cleared his throat. "Now my boy, if you really feel that why, you are one said excuse for a Genin. Not only would you have put your life in danger, but the matter at hand would have gotten much harder. You see, knowing a man such as that, he would had taken the chance to take you as a hostage, and well this isn't good." He sighed and shook his head. He helped the boy up after knocking him down, from the slap he had given him. "I and most other ninja my level would have seen that as bad and would most likely be killed once someone got a hold of the king." Kaosu knew the boy would be confused at this moment. Kaosu pointed at Shihouin, showing him that he was the king.

"You see, I would have given my life to save you, and by not following orders you can put many peoples life in danger. Next time I highly advise you to listen to what I say. I know what I am talking about." After all was said and done Kaosu laughed a little, and turned away from the boy. He was not proud for hitting the boy, but was something that had to be done. Also, the boy would most likely remember that for the rest of his life. The boy wanted to spar and this was the only good thing Kaosu saw coming for this boy. He had courage and wasn't afraid to give up. This was something that could not be taught. He was hopeful for his team. He turned back to the boy and smiled. "What I did had to be done, and you will soon find that out, if you did not already." He soon summoned his insects out from his body and made them scatter around the village.

"I am sorry, but we cannot spar at the moment, you are not ready and the rest of you are not here." Kaosu did not want to start anything without the others because he did not wish to play favorites with his team, although he knew he would have them, he would treat them like his own children. "We must find the rest of your team, and then we can spar. One of them is in your very own clan, which will be I will enjoy seeing both of you grow and seeing which one best the other. His name is Shippou Uchiha." He turned to see none of his insects in the area which meant none of them had found them. "The other is also of a very skilled doujutsu clan. You three will be a great team in time. Her name is Ayame Akira." He looked out into the distance and smiled a little. "Meet me at the training area in one hour. Hopefully we have found both of them by then." Kaosu soon disappeared into several insects and appeared somewhere in the middle of the village. The search for the other two Genin began.

Ayame continued to look at her great cousin, Yachiru Akira snack on her ramen like no tomorrow. It somewhat reminded her of her father in some ways and was actually quite funny if you think about it, Ayame sighed as the memory of her father rang into her head as she stared down at her ramen, untouched due to the image of Kenji Akira chowing down on his ramen to the point of winning races with random guys. She sighed once again as she placed her right arm on the counter and placed her head on her right hand, think about exactly how she got dragged into this.

Ayame continuously stared at the ceiling before her, nothing for attached pieces of concrete and an operating fan in her sight at the moment. This is basically all she has been doing in the past couple of days or so. Her expression read pretty much nothing and her mouth showed neither a smile nor a frown to indicate if she was happy or upset. She was just… dull, something that she had never been in her life until recently. Ayame let out a deep breath as she rolled over to her side. This has been Ayame from the start of her true misery.

Ayame couldn’t help but feel lonely in all these events, her mother died, her father left her and her brother was most likely dead as well. Perhaps her father was too, at least in her head. She allowed a yawn to escape her lips as she moved to the left a little bit. Ayame hadn’t really slept a wink in those days either, just lie there in a slump of misery. Next thing she knew, Ayame heard a knock not too far from her. She turned over in order to look behind her and see Yachiru, her father’s cousin, right there waving at her while standing on her windowsill.

‘You know, I probably should be surprised since I live on the third floor and all but…’ She left that trail of thought as she slowly got out of bed. Once she was on her feet, Ayame wobbled a little, indicating her not being used to standing up recently but then got the hang of it and walked over to the window, opening it to let Yachiru in. The sixteen year old pink haired girl then darted in and appeared behind Ayame.

She simply closed the window and turned to her great cousin, who was waving at her. “Hello, cousin Ame, how are you doing today?” Ayame put on her fake smile that she’s always had outside her house as she greeted her. “Oh fine, what brings you around?” Yachiru placed her finger on her chin as she tried to remember why she was here, after a few seconds. “Ame-chan, you should really come hang out with me, buy some candy, I haven’t seen you out of your house in so long.” Next thing Ayame knew, she was tied up and brought to the ramen shop before being let loose.

“Ame-chan, you haven’t even touched your ramen, is something wrong?” Ayame was brought back into reality at Yachiru’s voice and turned her head over to her with a nervous smile while waving her hands. “Oh no no no, I’m just not that hungry is all, cousin Yachi.” Yachiru looked into her own empty bowl as she made a sigh of her own. “You know…. This used to be his favorite place too… He used to always order the spicy ramen.” Ayame smiled a bit as she knew who she was talking about, reminiscing her first time at the spicy side and almost passing out from the heat, making a comical scene for everybody. “Yeah…”

Silver splashed water onto his face and hair. He sighed, searching around his home for clothes. Living with just his father didn't do much for him, and Silver lost much focus in daily, boring activities such as these. He wiped his face, combing his hair and dressing himself quickly. He looked into the mirror, smiling as he prepared to meet some "new" friends assigned by him. He thought it was a good thing, and was willing to at least learn about them. But he still felt nervous about how scary his jounin-sensei could be. He hadn't caught his name, or anyone else's name.

He locked the door on his way out, smiling at the people he seen as he walked throughout the streets. He seen many people, but never knew any descrition of anyone on his squad. he sighed. Well, I can't find anyone, I'd better just go sit down somewhere, he thought as he found himself in the training field. He sat down, staring up, up at the white and blue sky.

With three out of the four team members needed to complete the team, Shihouin was growing a bit frustrated. There were somethings he didn't mind for and there were also somethings that totally pissed him off. One of those things was waiting for late team members. Shihouin turned around to Kaosu and gave him an angry face. He was agitated that the other member wasn't here yet, which was totally slowing them down. Kaosu would hear it out from him too.

"Did you tell the other team member to come?!! Why's he so late! I hate waiting like this, sitting around and doing nothing while other people are out there getting stronger than us! Look, the other girl showed up and she's ready to go but where's this other guy! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah! I just want to start training!" Shihouin's bad habit of talking too much was now obvious to everyone on his team. Whenever he was agitated or frustrated, there was a high chance that he would spill it on the nearest person with an ear. After a while it would get to sound like garbled talk to the rest of the team, and they'd probably ignore him.

Seriously though, this was taking way too long. If whoever was supposed to show up wanted to be on the team, they should at least have tried to make the effort to find them and show up on time. The moment Shihouin met this late person, he would kindly rip him a new one.

As soon as Kaosu left Shihouin he thought that things were going to be a bit troublesome. For one, spilting up with Shihouin was not his greatest choice, but if he had listen this one time, finding the others would be much, much easier. Kaosu only hoped that this boy was up to it. He knew that the others were likely to be around looking for Kaosu as well, because they too had found out they had gotten a Jounin leader, and who was in their team. He did not know weather this was a good or bad thing, because it was likely that they could be looking in the complete opposite parts of the village, or if they would bump into each other. Kaosu really hoped for the latter. As soon as Kaosu began to walk, his stomach started to feel very awkward. He knew it was because he had not had something to eat, since a day before he returned to the village. He knew that he had to get something to munch on and the nearest place to him had been a ramen shop. He knew this would be a great place to stop, because he had not had ramen for many years now.

This was a shame on Kaosu's part, because he had been good friends with the shops owner, and had not seen him for a very long time. This would be a good chance to meet up with an old friend and eat at the same time. He opened the door to the shop and sat down at on the chairs and shook hands with the owner. The place did not seem very busy, besides two women chatting about something. One of them looked kinda of familiar but Kaosu did not know why. He soon got his food and began eating, and that is when it hit him. It made him spit out his food, because he had realized that one of the girls was part of his team. Kaosu stood up and walked over Ayame and examined her. He sat back in his seat and looked towards him. He was glad to see that he had found her in such little time, but he thought that the Uchiha boy would be much harder to find, unless Shihouin had found him, and Kaosu was very hopeful that he did.

"Ayame Akira, my name is Kaosu Aburame." He paused and began eating his noodles again. He finished eating and looked back at the girl. "If you do not already know, I am your Jounin leader. Training will start today, meet me in the training area as soon as you can. You will meet the other two boys in your group." He walked out after paying for his meal, to look for the other boy. He figured that he would already be at the training field, so he had sent his insects to scout that out. As they searched he found some time to go home and get some rest. This was a bad choice on his part, even though he was exhausted from his work. He awoke about an hour later, with his insects already inside of his cloak, telling him that he had found the boy, and that Shihouin was there was well. He yawned as he stood up and got out of bed. He walked out his door and started towards the training field. He would know get a chance to meet his team properly and get to know how they act and think. He arrived in the area, as what it seemed like Shihouin yelling for him. Inside this made Kaosu smile.

Kaosu soon arrived, after Shihouin was finishing up his ranting. He waved at the two boys that had arrived. As soon as Ayame arrived, Kaosu would tell him their plans. He took a seat on a branch of a tree and looked at his team. Soon, Ayame arrived in the training ground and now everything was going according to plan. He pointed at each of them and jumped down. "You three, are a team. You three, are siblings now, and I am your father. I will treat you as if I had my own child and we will treat each other like family." He paused and walked over to all of them. "I want you all three to introduce yourselves and tell me what you would like to learn." He waited to listen to what they had to say, and he smiled instead, because things were going well.

"Now, we know each other slightly better, but I think the best way to get to know people, is but them against something they've never faced or seen before." Kaosu took out his sword and then removed the seal and cut down the branch he was sitting on. Within minutes the branch are literary been reduced to nothing. He sealed the sword back up and put it awayy. "That is a warning, when I unseal my sword, don't you dare cross my path. The only reason I will unseal that is life or death, and I don't want any of you in the crossfire." He put his sword down and walked near the three. "Alright, so your first assignment is to spar with me. Let us see what you have learned." He jumped into the air, and landed in the middle of the area. "Come at me with all you got."

(OOC: Yeah, I kind of ignored the last paragraph because I could not think of a way to mix all of it in one post)

Ayame used her chopstick to dig into the Ramen a bit, not necessarily eating it per say, but playing with it and coming up with what seemed to be art out of Ramen noodles. She had an odd sort of smile on her face, indicating that she had a bit on her mind at that moment while Yachiru simply continued on with her feast on her 11th bowl. Ayame laughed a little as she stared at the tower of ramen bowls that were stacked up in only a few minutes of eating time. She then took it upon herself to actually take a bite out of her own then.

But once she had gotten the Ramen between her chopsticks and hovered it over her mouth, she suddenly heard a spitting noise that caused her to flinch a little, dropping the chopstick and its contents back into the bowl. She turned over to her right to see this strange guy with half of his face hidden from the bottom by his shirt spit out his food for a reason she did not know. Normally, Ayame would simply shrug it off and go back to what she was doing but then for some odd reason, the weird old guy stood up and walked over to her, causing Ayame to feel a bit uncomfortable.

As he started staring at her, Ayame started to get into a defensive poster as her tough exterior brought about an expression that involved narrowing her eyes and revealing a frown and possibly a bit of a growl, but that could have just been in her mind. She simply replied “You got a problem?” to the old weird guy. The guy then addressed her by her name before giving her his, then going back to his noodles, causing her to raise an eyebrow at him “And….?”

He would then go on about how he was apparently her Jounin leader and going on about how training was also today then leaving immediately after that, causing her to have a pretty blank look on her face. “…. What?” She then shook her head as she went back over to look at her cousin, who had a seemingly confused look of her own face. They looked at each other for about 5 or so seconds before shrugging it off and going back over to their Ramen, Ayame actually eating hers thing time.

An hour later, Ayame yawned a bit as she left the Akira Estates and now found her way over to pretty much the center of the village, wondering what she was going to do now. Ayame looked around the place, an odd feeling that she had forgotten something undertaking her as she did this. ‘meet me in the training area as soon as you can.’ ‘Oh, right, right, right, weird guy with the sunglasses.’ She then took it upon herself to actually head over to the training grounds since there was nothing else to do with her time so she thought about the direction it was at then headed over there.

Once the site of the training grounds came into her vision, Ayame didn’t really address anyone as of yet, waiting for a more appropriate moment and simply chose to sit down on the grass as the old guy, Kaosu, was it? started speaking. As he went on, Ayame’s head tilted just a little bit more to the left as her confusion rose higher and higher. Once he expressed his desire for them to announce their names, Ayame raised her hand, most likely indicating that she had the desire to go first.

After raising her hand, Ayame spoke out. “Yeah, my name’s Ayame Akira and I’m not exactly sure what I want to learn yet, but I have a question. How exactly are we supposed to be a family if we’ve only spent about 2 minutes together?”

Silver wasn't tracking the time, and the clouds flew round and round the big blue sky. It was a nice day to be out and about, of course until yelling and such can be heard. It made him sit up straight up and look around in confusion, left wondering whether to go off in search of the subject to change.

But, remained silent to his mind, He got up, looking around himself to find a conversation talking place, and he didn't question anything. It was strange to hear everything come from these people. Silver giggled at himself and his "new family". He liked this idea alot to let it go.


He let the girl, whom he would refer to her as, "Ayame", butSilver would eventually give her some sort of nickname. He moved his red sunglasses over his eyes, grinning slightly as he closed his eyes and opened his mouth. "I'm Shippou Uchiha, but you can call me Silver." He took a deep breathe, "I would like to learn about the Sharingan, and master it's abilities.", he muttered, slightly moving his eyes at Kaosu.

He jumped back, pulling out eight shurikens and 2 kunai, launching them at Kaosu. His Sharingan flickered to life, but remained only for observational reasons Silver felt needed.

Shihouin's mind was elsewhere, not worrying about the horrible start his team was on. There were so many things wrong with it that he felt ashamed to be on the team, but if it was his ticket to a higher rank he'd have to grin and bear it. It wasn't really the other teammates and it wasn't really the Jounin, but rather yet the whole situation they were in. Not only was it awful to begin with, but it went from awful to worse and a bit more than that.

Shihouin had no real intention of being apart of any family whatsoever. Through distant blood and marital ties he was related to Shippou, but finding out that mystery would take too long. Not to mention that Shihouin didn't even feel as if he should recognize him as a member of the Uchiha clan, simply because he was a stranger. Even though they had the same blood in their veins, the only thing that mattered was his personality. So far, Shihouin didn't have a grip on it and he didn't have a grip on becoming friends with him or "family" for that matter.

Then there was the other female. Shihouin at first was skeptical of her ability due to her soft appearance, but once she opened her mouth his opinion changed. He felt the same way she did about the entire situation they were thrown in. He could understand that the Jounin would like them to be close, to develop bonds, but the idea of becoming a family in that sort was sort of weird. Ayame totally hit the nail on the head with her comment and Shihouin would boost it. He wasn't trying to tag-team with her, she was simply right and his opinion would be too. "My names Shihouin Uchiha. You can call me Shi for short. What would I like to learn? How to be stronger than you. I would also like to learn how we're supposed to become a family if we don't know each other. I have no intentions of extending family-type bonds with anyone here, team bonds yes, but family is too deep."

Reliving old family memories and reviving those feelings of bonds was too much to ask for Shihouin to be able to do. Not only had he lost his mother and father to his own family member, he had also not been able to cope with it properly. Asking him to attempt to have a father, a brother and a sister would be too much. The chance of deep psychological damage was too risky ad Shihouin knew it. He was here to get stronger, that's all.

Kaosu smiled as all three Genin told them their names and what they wanted to learn. It seemed he would have to wait on one of them, to know what they really wanted to learn. He also excepted them to be a little uneasy about the whole family speech, but he looked as them if they were his family, like he did everyone in the village. He sighed a looked at the three and shook his head. He had hoped they did not denied the fact of even trying to be a family. However, he hoped that this would soon change. Kaosu walked over to all three of them to get a good luck at them. He thought of the work ahead of him, and it was more than he had planned. He thought the academy taught things like this. All the people in a village are suppose to have some sort of bond with one another. A team, should run like a family, so things could run smoothly. He did not think he would have such brats for a team. He sighed and moved back to the spot he was standing, when he had arrived. Kaosu took a hold of his sword and pulled it out. He pointed it at Ayame.

"Great question. You may not feel like a family yet, because we've just met. However, that will soon change. Look around you. These people are who you'll spend the most time with, starting from here on out." He paused and cleared his throat for a second. This would be hard for him to put into words, but he knew he had to answer their questions. "I hope you can see why I've said you three will be a family, but we shall see in time. And Ayame, we will find something for you to learn." He said with a smile and then pointed his sword at Shippou. He did not say much, and this made Kaosu smile. This one might have accepted the fact that he was going to be in a family, or at least a very strong bond with his team. Kaosu had high hopes for this one, at least he knew that he might become a kind person. "Shippou, I will try my best to teach you the ways of your bloodline. I haven't seen it used very much, but I will try my best." He then pointed his sword at Shihouin.

"You. I understand that you don't like the idea having a family. I hope it will soon change, like other thing we've discussed. We've had the chance to meet already, and you could one day do great. Just like all of you can." He paused for a moment and looked at all three once again. "You will grow in time, and all of you will achive great things, to hopefully do what I am here today. Helping the next generation surpass the previous." He smiled at them and put away his sword. Soon, a few bugs came out of his cloak. He wanted to see what they were capable of doing, and this would help them get to know their sensei much better. Soon more and more bugs came out of his cloak. He circled around him and Kaosu nodded at his three Genin. "I want to know why you three can do. The mission now, is to use teamwork to fight me. We shall talk later." He stopped and stepped back three steps.

He needed to know if they could even think about working as a team, it would be the only way they had a chance of even laying a finger on Kaosu. "Now, I want you three to learn, what is like to have great bonds and teach you whatever I can, that you want to learn." He smiled and told them to come at him with the wave of his finger. "Your challenge is to attack me with all you got. Do whatever you can to do so, I will not be giving you hints, until afterwards." He smiled and stood motionless, waiting for them to come at him.

ooc: sorry for shortness.

Ayame crossed her arms as she took a second to look around her at her supposed teammates, which from what she had been hearing, they were both Uchiha. Ayame lowered her head and shook it, making a rather upset moan through her teeth as she recalled her rather unpleasant history with Uchiha. It seemed that it was rather ironic though that she was supposed to consider both of the Uchiha boys her brothers, which was actually amusing in a sense but not at that very moment. She was still contemplating the rather unorthodox announcement of her even being on a team but simply shrugged her shoulders as she thought ‘Whatever’ to herself.

As her new supposed sensei started talking to the other two boys that were on the team by the name of Shippou and Shihouin, Ayame could help but tone the speeches out a bit as she thought to herself about various things, mainly involving her one tracked goal of becoming a leader and even being one of the few female Hokages. She laughed to herself a little bit as she thought that she should just get through the day first and worry about that later on in life as her mind tuned into the real world again just in time to catch “Helping the next generation surpass the previous.”

Ayame wiped off her left eye a bit as he continued on with what he had planned for the day. Apparently, all three of them were supposed to fight him by utilizing teamwork or something along those lines. She yawned a bit, usually she would probably a bit more excited for a chance at a fight but this time, she was simply chill because she was still somewhat tired. She could only think of how this sudden switch of news would probably cause a sort of malfunction in the team machine, but she didn’t bother to open her mouth again.

Ayame simply stood up from her former position of being in a cross legged seated position. She looked all around her to see a few dozen trees going around in this forest like area about 10 feet or away from them, she looked through the regular birds and other forest animals and already thought of some quick things. She then looked upwards towards the sky, it was still morning, not too early so the sun was giving them quick winks throughout the clouds. “So who wants to attack first?” She said out loud to no one in particular but expecting an answer nonetheless. Her eyes quickly turning yellow in the process as a smile widened across her face once she started to look down.
