The sun had only just finished rising, but Miku Tetsumi was wide awake. This was an odd thing for the young woman, for she usually woke in a hazy daze and had to force herself up from her warm soft bed. Today, was different. Someone had been knocking at her apartment door. It took a few minutes to rise the kunoichi from her beauty sleep, but she flung her covers off as if they were on fire and ran to the door. It was a messenger from the Raikage with news of her newly assigned squad. Miku squealed with delight, startling the messenger who quickly gave her letter and then bolted to whatever other business that was needed to be taken care of. She shook the letter with joy and jumped up and down, leaving her front door wide open. Some of her neighbors looked at her with curiosity and confusion as she danced around in her pajamas. Her hair was out of place and her usual light tanned face was flushed with excitement. One of her neighbors finally questioned the kunoichi, "What has made you so happy so early in the morning, Miku-san?", watching Miku continue to dance around like a child that had just eaten half a cake. The kunoichi stopped and waved at her neighbor, only realizing now that she had a small audience. "I've finally been assigned a squad! Finally!" She practically yelled while clenching her fists and punching the air. Her neighbor looked at her with a smile and laughed quietly. "I'm sure you will make an excellent sensei. You're so good with my children!" She stated, referring to the days when Miku would play with all of the children in the neighborhood, giving them candy and making sure none of them were harmed or got into fights. This made Miku feel all warm in her chest. She loved getting praises, even if she was confident enough. "I must prepare myself!" snapping out of her bliss, she ran back into her apartment and got ready.

Having all ready bathed last night, her body and hair were still clean smelling as well as looking. She looked through her wardrobe and pulled out a black cargo skirt, black spandex shorts, an aqua blue tank top, and the standard white Kumogakure Jounin vest. Miku shred her pajamas off and changed into her chosen outfit. Moving on, she quickly combed her long, hip-length, vibrant hair and pinned her bangs back with a white hair barrette. She ate the simple breakfast of eggs and bacon, brushed her teeth, and put on the standard ninja shoes along with tying her village headband through the belt loops of her black cargo skirt. She also strapped on her pouch that contained the usual kunai, shurikens, and paper bombs. The sun was out and beamed through her apartment window. It gave Miku that same warm feeling from before. She sighed in a dreamy manner and grabbed four lollipops from her candy jar and hid them away in one of her pockets. Perhaps her genins would have a sweet tooth? It was still early morning and that granted her enough time to make three letters requesting the presence of her squad. A time and location was set up. Nine o'clock in the morning at a clear grassy area near the Kumogakure Hospital, Team Echo would meet. The thought made Miku giddy. She admired her Raikage for coming up with such unique squad names. It was much more interesting than the average numbered squads. Miku played the part of a messenger and left identical letters at the door of each member's home.

It was then that the young woman headed for the unpopulated grassy area near the Kumogakure Hospital, wanting to be the first one there. She was an hour early but it didn't matter to her. In her experience, time went by much faster when she least expected it to and she very much so detested the idea of arriving later than all her genins. That would appear very unprofessional on her part. Miku casually leaned against a tall, green, healthy tree that shadowed part of the area. She pulled out a thin sheet of paper from one of her pockets and examined the names of her squad she had scribbled down. Out of the three, one named looked particularly familiar. Koori, Seiga. The kunoichi had met the young boy not too long ago. He was very friendly for the most part, but held some sort of shyness. However, she also knew that he had a rather unique Kekkei Genkai of Ice Manipulation and tended not to just stay put in one place. The other boy's names were Jasui Uchiha and Kururugi Tahji. Miku recalled the events of her Chuunin Exams during the written exam. Though she knew Uchiha were infamously known for their attitudes, a Uchiha had helped her answer some of the questions on her paper. He had copied the movements from people writing their answers with his Sharingan and then gave them to her on a sheet of paper she manipulated without being caught. Miku giggled into the palm of her hand, "Kukukuku!". That only left her to wonder about Kururugi Tahji. She had not met him before like with Seiga, nor heard of any clan with his name. It was then that she also realized that all of her pupils were boys. Miku smirked and wondered what they would think of her. Would they be surprised? Mad? The young woman looked down at herself. It was a good thing she was wearing her Jounin vest, for she was only 5'3, and was overlooked at times. She understood most people's mistake, but at the same point she didn't. While she agreed she was only as tall as the regular teenage girl, her body was certainly curved into that of a woman. Miku stopped thinking about it and scooped out the area. She comfortably reclined her back against the tree and occasionally kicked some of the grass, awaiting for the rest of Team Echo.

The knocks woke him from his dreams of what would come, he was unsure what the day would bring him, at the time he was told the information of being a genin, with the meeting of all the current rookies, and his academy teachers, they had told him on this day, that they would receive information regarding which team they would join, so at roughly 7:00 a messanger had knocked upon his door, with a letter for his newly assigned team.

So he got out of bed, in his boxers and cotton shirt, and a his eyes full of sleep, and his hair full of knots, and complete chaos, he pushed the covers off of him, and walked to the door, making his way out of his bedroom, his father already at work, his mother probably off buying groceries, and on her morning duties, he made his way down the hall, the whole house empty and quiet besides the knock at the door, and than when he made his way to it, he opened it, and there was a male messenger standing there.

The messenger looked up to the towering 5'10'' 14 year old, who was also gave two look overs before the messenger finally talked.

"Team assignment." The messenger handed him the letter, and made his way down the path away from the home.

He opened the letter as he shut the door, and made his way to his kitchen, he than set it on the table, and opened the fridge, getting milk, and orange juice, than going to the cupboard and getting a glass, and cereal in the cupboard below.

He assebled his breakfast, returned the liquids to the fridge, and sat down.

He read the letter, the letter stated his team leader was a jonin named Miku Tetsumi, he already disliked the sound of a woman leading his team do to the fact it would be hard for him to learn harsh training, though he than subsided that stereotype and remembered the woman raikage, and new how tough of a leader she was, so he than started to hotwire his brain to feel more open to the possibilities of a female leader. It also stated his squad but, he did not know them do to the fact he had tooken off a year as a genin to train before he went over to a squad.

So he finished his breakfast, gulping down the last bit of orange juice, and placing his bowl and glass into the sink, turning on the faucet and gently washed them out, and than got ready for his day.

He finished walking down the hall, and made his way to the end of the hall, and the room to the left, which was his room, he slid the door, and than got his attire ready for the day, he picked out his normal set of clothes:

1. A long sleeved black shirt with a collar, on the back of the black shirt is his Uchiha family crest, a fan.

2. A scarf, and that scarf acts as his headband, on the scarf is the metal, and engraved the kumo symbol of clouds.

5. Black shorts that go past his knees.

So he brought those clothes and boxers and socks and headed out his door and into the bathroom, he put the clothes down, took a quick shower, and hopped out, he got dressed, he than combed and brushed his hair into upmost straightness, his black hair reaching over his eyes, and the longness of it was more so in the back.

From there he headed down the hall, and arrived at the door, it was now 8:00 and he put on his black ninja sandals/boots, wrapped his legs with a fresh roll of white bandages, applied his kunai holster to his right thigh, making sure it was freshly stocked, he than opened the door, and realized a note had been dropped there, he picked it up, it was from his new jonin sensei Miku Tetsumi; he wondered when she dropped it off, but stopped thinking and read what it said and it said where to meet, the location being a grassy patch by the hospital, he had been there a couple times to train but it wasn't his ideal training spot, though he knew where it was, he than read the last of it and it said to be there at 9:00, though he could walk slow and arrive there at 8:30, being early never hurt anyone? Besides he could wait for them there and do excersises while he waited.

So he started on his journey and walked.

Now the time was rougly 8:30 or so like he wanted to, as he walked the last stretch of land he noticed his instructor there waiting for him. She was what he would think as beautiful, though she seemed short, and about the average size of a girl his age, she did have characteristics of a girl in her late teens, judging by all the outlook of her she was 19. So he walked closer and made it to his required location, he than held out his hand out to the lady and smiled, he wanted to be polite to the woman who would train him until he became a higher rank, and she would mostly be the woman to help him on that path.

So holding out his hand he spoke; "Hello I am Jasui Uchiha, if I am not mistaken this is suppose to be where my team meets, and due to the fact your wearing a jonin vest you must be Miku Tetsumi, though if I am mistaken please correct me." He said all of this politely, he towered over the woman 6 or 7 inches, but he tried not to show that and was relaxed and seemed shrunken, about an inch below his normal height.

Seiga fell out of bed wearing his pants still, landing heavily he would reach up and run hand through his hair catching a few knots and wincing. Standing slowly he would look outside and yawn, it was about seven a.m. Moving in a groggy manner he would slowly get through the shower and comb his hair afterwards, still wandering about his apartment room and get a glass of milk and a small pastry for breakfast. The tangy taste of the strawberry jelly was still on his tongue as he made his way to the door to open it and find a small note, picking it up and reading he would yawn again. Walking back into the room he would rummage through the dusty smelling closet and pulling out another black silk shirt, slipping it on he would make his way to the door again, no shoes as the weather was nice and warm today. Jogging lightly towards the appointed meeting place he would shoot to show up ten minutes early. As he whipped around a corner maneuvering around a startled woman and begging the final sprint his hair would stick up as the wind would gust around him, skidding to a stop his feet wouldn't hurt to bad as he slowed arriving nine minutes early to see two other people there already. Smiling slightly he would give a slight "hello sensei, and other," he would keep a light cheery tone as he crouched in the grass playing with some of the dew that still lingered in the shade of the building. Soon growing tired of it he would resume his normal habit of bouncing about on the spot dreaming of different things, like the vivid memory of the last time he had seen Miku a smile would creep to his face and shine through briefly before he tried to rein it in and remain with a casual expression despite the curiosity playing about behind the blue light of his eyes while tilting his head to one side and watching the others carefully.

Tahji was lying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling with his dark purple eyes. His blanket kicked off of him, revealing his clothes. He was dressed in his usual sleeveless shirt and his black boxers. He pushed himself off his bed when someone knocked on his door. He went to open the door where he notices a messenger. The messenger automatically said Your team, Kururugi Tahji nodded and took the envelope from the messenger’s hand and stared down at the piece of paper he had just torn out of the envelope.

That is when he notices another slip of paper on the ground outside in the hallway of the orphanage. He picked it up to see the meeting place, and time. It read “We will meet on a grassy patch in front of the hospital at 9:00” Tahji looked towards the clock on the wall, 8:56 it read. Tahji was almost late, but he didn’t care. He walked towards the closet and slid his mission clothes on.

He went in the bathroom and looked at the mirror, his hair was very messy. Tahji filled his hand with water and splashed it on his face. He brushed his tooth and went back into his room. 8:58 the clock read. Tahji went over to his desk and picked up his watch. He slipped it on and checked if his ninja pouch is behind him strapped on his belt.

Tahji opened his windows and stepped onto the roof of the orphanage. That was the best part of his room, it was on the roof. He closed the window after him and charged some chakra to his feet. He Shunshin’d and jumped all the way to the hospital. He landed on the road near the grassy patch.

Tahji checked his watch, 30 seconds late. Tahji then stepped on the patch and looked at his mates and sensei. He notices an Uchiha. His sensei was a woman named Miku, just a few inches taller. He didn’t bother talking. Tahji waved at his teammates slightly and leaned against the tree behind his sensei.

Miku examined the approaching boy. He was certainly tall, but still held some sort of youth to him. She pushed herself up from the tree with little effort. The boy smiled at her, which she returned. He held out his hand and she took it with a firm grip. "No mistakes! I am your sensei, Miku Tetsumi, just as you said. You're early, but I suppose that is much better than being late, wouldn't you agree?" She stated with a playful grin. Miku didn't really expect an answer. He looked just like the Uchiha she had encountered during her days as a genin. It was all genetic. The dark eyes, dark hair, light skin. He was such a Uchiha. Would he have the infamous attitude that most Uchiha seemed to carry? It hadn't appeared that way. He had been polite and even smiled. A nice handshake and a nice introduction. Jasui had actually went out of his way to speak more than what was necessary. Yes, this was all going smooth for the time being. She crossed her arms and awaited for the next party member. Would it be Seiga or Tahji? Only time would tell. Miku couldn't help but to mentally make a bet with herself. Seiga would arrive first. She just knew it. Her nails lightly dug into her arms as she awaited anxiously for the next to arrive. It was then she recalled she had brought along candy for them all. She would defiantly have to give them the lollipops after the meeting. Children did like candy, right? Hopefully, they would.

She puckered up her lips in thought and viewed the area without moving. Truthfully, she would have loved to keep her mouth running. It came natural to her. When you met someone new, you talk to them and get to know them. That was what you were supposed to do. However, she was far to anxious to speak anymore until all her genins were present. Should she do a little training with them? A test? Or should she keep it light and focus more on getting a sense of how they all thought and went about themselves.'Maybe a little bit of both.' Miku thought to herself before she her attention was drawn else where. Seiga appeared before the duo, skidding to a halt. Tiny pieces of grass flew up and then back down. She had been right! Seiga had been the next to arrive! A large grin stretched across her lightly tanned face. It almost made her want to laugh. Her eyebrows rose as she looked down at Seiga who had dove into a crouch and began toying with the dew on the grass. He acted just the way she remembered. "Good morning, Seiga." She said with a pleased tone of voice. That was two genin. One left. It was then that Seiga began to jump around, refusing to stay in one spot. She was almost tempted to see what Jasui's reaction was. Though she admitted she had only communicated and socialized with Seiga once, she felt she had known about his little habit for years, as if they had been child hood friends. It made her smirk again. The trio awaited for the final party member. A wind casually blew by and barely swayed her pinkish-reddish-orangish hip length hair. The young woman looked up at the sky and watched light, puffy, white clouds barely move along. Miku wondered about what to do with them. She already knew she wanted to do a little get-to-knowing and training exercise, but what else should they do? Should she ask for a mission within the next two days or so? Should she teach them more jutsu before assigning a mission? Should she just ask them instead of trying to tip-toe around and guess?

Miku twirled a single strand of her hair, waiting patiently for the third genin. A sudden faint sound seeped into the young woman's ears. She looked at Seiga and Jasui as if she were asking a question, though she spoke nothing. Her familiar grin went from ear to ear and she looked back only to see the final party member. He spoke nothing and only waved slightly at the others. Down inside, she just knew he was probably late, but it wasn't a big deal. They were all there and Miku wasn't one to make too much of a big deal on something so trivial, so soon. He had probably been late by a single minute or something, anyways. She stepped back so she could get a good look at all of them. Uchiha, Koori, Kururugi. An interesting bunch of boys. "Now, before we begin any serious training, tests, or lessons..." Miku raised an eyebrow to see if the last few words got a any sort of sudden reaction out of them. "I want you to state your names, some of your likes and dislikes, and what you hope to one day accomplish." Her hands rested on her hips. "I'll start. I'm Miku Tetsumi. I like candy and enjoy music. I dislike individuals that harm those close to me in any form and I would one day like to work closer with the Raikage. Don't get me wrong though, I've always wanted my own squad to be in charge of." She said with a teasing grin. Her right index finger pointed at the Uchiha. "Your turn."

Jasui listened to his sensei greet him, and just as she was completed speaking, he jumped backward into a flipped, landed on his hands and pushed off, and landed on the ground next to a tree, which he leaned against and than noticed the next team member approaching.

This teammate came up, waved, said hello, and squated, picking the grass of the field. Picking grass was something Jasui used to do during training, though now that is no more do to it was pointless and it just killed the grass.

So Jasui studied the new arrrival, and didn't talk, he wanted to seem elusive to this guy for as long as he could, do to the fact he didn't know him, and he didn't really wish to disclose information unless he absolutely had to. This new arrival looked 13 and didnt look like a threat so he didnt move a muscle and only took 5 seconds to look him over, and looked away.

So he adjusted his lean agaisnt the tree, minutes passed, his sensei chatted and the last team mate arrived. He hobbled up and stopped when he made it to the field, his sensei chatted some more, and than talked of herself, after listening intentively, she than was going to pick her new students to tell of there lives, and she waved a finger at Jasui, so he began.

"My name is Jasui Chitaiga. I have not many likes or dislikes, likes mainly training and becoming stronger, and dislikes, idiots. Hmm one day I hope to accomplish, nothing really just find myself and become stronger along the process as a shinobi." He than completed his speech and had a plain look on his face waiting for his sensei to speak once again.

Seiga yawned and then listened intently to Miku and Jasui before trying to think about what to say. He could feel the grass floating from his fingers on a gentle breeze, looking up at the two he would jump up and smile again before resuming bouncing in place. Mulling over the two's answers in his head his grin would drop down a level to just a hint around the edges of his lips as he stopped bouncing and stood there. "I am Seiga, of the clan Koori. I dislike condescending people, and like nice people that don't look down on me as just a child. Um...My goal is to learn to control my power and get stronger." he would smile sheepishly and crouch back down to look at the grass not feeling like giving a demonstration of his power this time around, besides Miku had already seen it and he felt uncomfortable around Jasui. Looking over at the last arrival he would wave one hand in greeting.

His sensei spoke. Said a few things and introduced herself. Then the Uchiha, he's called Jasui. The the next guy. Koori Seiga. Tahji grunted. He thought Weird accomplishments, wasn't Uchihas supposed to be bloodthirsty like me?

Tahji listened to the three introductions. Tahji sighed and said I'm Kururugi Tahji. I like nothing and dislike all. I hope to kill the one who killed my family Tahji finished his simple introduction, and leaned against the tree once again.

Tahji noticed that he was the shortest. He might even be the smallest. Tahji ran through his memory, about being bullied, being teased, being hated. Hated, yes. Hatred is my energy Tahji thought. He glared towards the ground, his eyes full of rage. He breathed deeply and sighed. He looked towards Jasui, then Seiga. Lastly his sensei.

The Uchiha had a plain face almost like his. Then the Koori, he looked a little shy, and his sensei. She was grinning an ear to ear grin. Tahji grinned slightly. What a nice team

A breeze blew by the group of four while Miku peered at her students. Her large grin straighted. Jasui wanted to become stronger like every shinobi and simply wanted to find himself. He liked training and disliked idoits. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Seiga wanted to have better control over his Kekkei Genkai and become stronger. He liked nice people and didn't like being viewed as just a child. How cute. Tahji wanted to kill someone who killed his family. He liked nothing and disliked everything. Ouch. The new sensei just had to get a homicidal teenager, didn't she? Miku thought about the hatred that he must felt. It was true that it could make one strong, will and able, but it had it's downsides. It could make one irriational or even dangerous to be around with. She had a horrible scenario play in her head with the Raikage. "Well, why did you let him become this way? Now he's a murdering psychopath on the run!" The Raikage would say. "I didn't! He was already that way! I tried to help him, I really did!" She would plead, but it wouldn't work. She imagined all the guilt she would feel and how upset her other students would be. Surely even if they didn't get along, they would mourn. Miku's fingers twitched and she shuddered at the thought. All she wanted was to be a good sensei and teach them right. Did the kid need someone to talk to or something? She thought about talking to him about it afterwards, but remained silent for the moment. She needed to think of a spar or training exercise that would allow her to see their abilities as a ninja and how well they could work together.

Without any words, she preformed a few simple hand signs to make a simple clone. "So, here's the deal Team Echo..." She stated with her familiar grin growing back on her face. The clone casually looked around the grassy area and then at Miku’s students. She held some sort of mild interest in them, but remained quiet like the good clone she was. "This is not the usual training exercise you hear of. It's going to be a little different. Your job is to defend my clone with everything you got. Think of her as a simple civilian and I, your sensei, as a Missing Ninja or a bandit. I will be attempting to harm my clone and you are in my way... You will have to find a way to defeat me without allowing me to cause any harm to the clone. This situation can and probably will happen during various escort missions that you will be assigned to. You need to work together! The training ends when the clone disperses, you some how defeat me, or if I simply say ‘End’!" Miku stated loudly with a gleam of amusement in her eyes. Her clone looked almost just as amused as her. She could practically envision herself and her clone jumping up and down in excitement with her students nearby with baffled or frustrated expressions. Their was no time for that. It was time to be slightly mature. "BEGIN!" She yelled clearly and loudly before flickering out of the area and onto a nearby tree branch. Of course, the kunoichi planned on holding back some. She could have killed them if she so wished to.

They did not see her from her elusive tree branch, but she watched them with eager eyes. Miku sincerely hoped they would listen to her and work together. It was an order, anyways. Surely they would do so. Team work didn’t even have to use words. It could be gained just by a simple facial expression or use of clever body language. The sensei thought about what possible abilities her students would use. She was sure Jasui would activate his Sharingan eventually somewhere in the battle. That was a given. What would Seiga do? It was true that he had an ice elemental kekkei genkai, but had he used it enough to make good use of it? And what of Tahji? He wasn’t in a clan and held no kekkei genkai. Most ninja specialized in ninjutsu, whether it was a main or sub. Could she assume he had one of them? All the thoughts stirred calmly in her head while she continued to peer down at her students. The first wave of her attacks would begin here. She did the necessary activity for her clan jutsu, Paper Release: Paper Needles. The paper formed in her mouth and created into five long, thin, paper needles. She’d never got a paper cut, but used to fear doing so as a child. Miku rapidly spat out the five needles. One needles shot at Seiga. One needle shot at Jasui. One needle shot at Tahji. Finally, two needles shot at her clone.

As everyone had finished talking, he realized what such a weird team he had, but tried to ignore it and focused on the sensei for further instruction, he could think and bond with his team later.

So his sensei created a clone and initiated a simple challenge, protect the clone, so thats what he was going to do; and just as his sensei said BEGIN! his brain jumped into action.
He immediatly thought of what to do as his sensei dissappeared, unable to be seen by the human eye... he knew that it wouldn't be of much use later in battle do to the fact he would have an advantage but he may have another way of finding his sensei and to protect himself, so before he could act, he noticed needles flying from a tree branch, heading for each of them, including the clone, so he acted fast and jumped back from where the kunai was heading, it was flying through the air, 10 feet away, a long strip of needle, this was just a guess but they looked to be the color of the opaqueness and it could be some type of wood, or paper, both burned, and he had the perfect jutsu to save his own ass and the clones. The needle was now 6 feet away from all. He than shot off handsigns accordingly and, put his finger up to his mouth in a circular pattern, he blew, and out shot a massive fireball this fireball was at an angle, and was traveling a great speed, so just as the needles were 3 ft away from his original position, the fireball endeveloped the needles, and from the angle he shot them out at, the fireball wizzed by the clone, uneffecting it, and consumed the needles that were on the outer rim of the fireball, a foot away from the clone.

Now that he and the clone was safe, the fireball continued and than extinguished as it hit a patch of trees, turning them partially to charcoal. A smoke trail had formed from the fireball, and was slowly dispersing. He realized his previous thought, the clone was safe, which he learned to be immediatly false as he pondered on it, the clone almost got wiped out in a split second by those needles, he had to go and protect the clone, so he took off and ran fast, the smoke as cover, reaching the clone, and stepped in front of it, he went off and did one handsign, and transformed into the exact accurate copy of the clone, he shuffled to the left of the clone, and than he created, using another handsign, a clone of his own, which used with conjunction with the transformation technique was another exact clone of a clone, which stepped to the right of the clone created by the sensei. The smoke than started to clear and gave a view of the three.

Now there was three identical clones, Jasui only prayed that his sensei didn't figure out which one was which.

Seiga stepped to one side as he noticed the flying weapon his head snapping into alert action examining all about him before ducking some careless fire expelled by his teammate. Standing back up and looking now for some water he would growl and step back to a point three feet in front of the clone trying to gather more water to himself to form a decent sized ice disk. Sighing he would concentrate and wait while the water took it's sweet time to well up from the springs in the earth below him. Concentrating on the water while crouching he would wait one eye shut while the other relentlessly flickered upon his surroundings prepared for another attack to come in at any moment. Shutting his other eye and smiling lightly Seiga would quickly preform his handseals at his quick pace and draw the water from the ground making a transparent ice disk and fashion it to his arm with a quick movement drawing it up to cover his front, keeping the shield at a slight angle to keep his movements fast.

Tahji was leaning against a tree. His sensei was giving them a small test. A battle yesterday, now a test?! Tahji slipped a kunai out of his Tool Pocket. Suddenly five needles appeared from a tree to the left of Tahji, one heading for each of the genins and two heading for the clone. He kept an eye on the five needles while keeping an eye on the tree.

Jasui then used a Fire Jutsu to burn the needles. Apparently, the needles were made of paper. The Goukakyuu no Jutsu. Electric Discharge! The kunai in Tahji's hand began to glow. He then notice Jasui running into the smoke. When the smoke was gone, there were three identical people there. One of them is the real clone and one of them is Jasui's clone. Just like an Uchiha, he's an independent fighter Tahji thought Just like me

He ran towards the tree his sensei was on. 23 seconds left Tahji glanced at the kunai, and then focused on the tree. He then made an direct jump into the air. Because of the training during his younger years, he had a nice jump. With this, he landed onto a thick branch of the tree and started slashing at the thin branches. One by one until he found his sensei. Tahji smirked and slashed towards his sensei and then jumped off the tree as the glow in the kunai faded.

OOC; I ask from now on that you attempt to put just a little more detail in your posts. Just some friendly advice: Jastrok, you use quite the bit of commas when you could be making simple complete sentences. Tahji, you tend to stray away from using quotation marks and don't use much periods or commas. Seiga, your posts could use some more commas here and there. As your sensei, I'm just attempting to better your ways in rping. It'll help you more in the future and show you have some experience. 8]

The new sensei watched her genins in action. Jasui used the fire technique known as Goukakyuu no Jutsu, which was a jutsu she had as well. He used it to burn her paper needles. Fire did burn paper after all. She would have watched more, but dark grey smoke clouds rolled along the area, covering the scene. It was beginning to smell as if something had been left in the oven for far to long. The image of a cake up in flames briefly crossed her mind. It must have been the burnt grass and wood along with the small bits of paper that caused the odor. Miku mused over the situation as she remained crouched on her tree branch. Without loosing her balance or causing too much of a stir, she took the opportunity to quickly and skillfully attach three paper bombs to three kunai. After completing her task, she held them firmly in her right hand while she went back to checking the scene. The smoke was clearing and she felt her free hand twitch in anticipation. What would her three students plan? Seiga had been able to dodge her attack with some sort of shield which had been created using his kekkei genkai. She could barely see it, but it was there. Her emerald eyes darted towards the location of where she had left her clone. However, she was no longer alone. There standing was two other clones, just like her. Vibrant pinkish-reddish-orangish hair, emerald eyes, light tan skin, along with her exact outfit. Very amusing. Her eyes brows raised in mild interest. Who had done it? It was then her question was answered when she peered down only to see Tahji coming up with an attack. She felt the corner of her mouth curl into a smirk. Jasui was her answer.

Until she could confront any of her clones, she had to deal with her 'I-wanna-kill-for-revenge-and-I-hate-everything' member of her squad. He had conjured up some glowing kunai. She could hear him cutting away the leaves and thin branches in front of her. How invading of him. Miku simply jumped backwards and onto the earth below before his eager slashing reached her. Cut up leaves and thin branches fell around her. He jumped back down from the tree with the glowing of his kunai faded. That didn't last too long. Couldn't have done too much damage had it reached her anyways. From what she could gather it was a Raiton attack. Now, this was interesting. Miku and Jasui shared the Katon element while Seiga had a combination of Suiton and Fuuuton to make Ice, leaving Tahji with Raiton. What a scatter of random elements. She certainly couldn't train any Ice techniques nor Raiton. She would have to think of something for later. It was then the kunoichi brought her left hand to her lips, as if she were to blow a kiss, but instead blew a large blast of wind towards Tahji. Thin strands of grass flew up in the air, leaves tore from their branches, and a good amount of dirt blew across the land. The jutsu could knock down almost anything in it's path. She wouldn't doubt if Tahji landed flat on his back side. In fact, she was expecting it. Or at least some loss of his balance.

Without a moment's hesitation, Miku aimed her three paper bomb laced kunai at separate targets and then threw them with great strength. One landed in front of Seiga and two of them in front of her three clones. With a flick of her wrist, the paper bombs exploded. It wouldn't harm any of them too bad. Besides, she would take full responsibility and simply heal their injuries on the spot. Smoke appeared once again and a few near by trees showed sign of impact. A flock of birds flew off with no doubt that they were indeed disturbed. They all chirped in confusion. It was almost comical. What she would also have to discuss after their little spar was team work. While Miku didn't mind independent fighting, she found it was something to be saved for when you were more experienced and a higher rank. Team work was necessary in the beginning and she would have to tell them that whether they liked it or not. She would let the test go on just a little longer for the genin's sake. Boys were boys and usually liked all the rumbling and tumbling. The kunoichi already could pick up a good amount on their fighting style and strategy skills, anyways.

Jasui stood there with the clones. He knew sooner or later she would attack again so he had to think fast in what to do. He went over many ideas in his head until he found the right one. Though his thinking after finished was cut off by a giant wind being blown from the trees. "So that's where she is." He than noticed his teammate being sent back but looked away to focus.

"If she did one attack on one opponent there might be a good chance of another attack on us all." He thought to himself. He than put his previously thought up plan in action. Taking the chance he quickly bit his finger, went through a string of hand signs than hit the ground. "Summoning Jutsu." Jasui said this as his summon poofed up. His summon, 10 ft long and 2 ft wide would help him perfectly for his plan. "Quick shed your skin and dig a hole man." He said to his snake who just got his bearings as it shed its skin and dug a whole for jasui's plan. Than he went towards the skin, his snake underground about 10 ft ahead of them, he went into the hole, dispersing his clone and asking for the other to come down into the hole with him, as they got into the hole which was a tight fit but it was able to be moved around through do to his senseis figure. When they were but 8 ft below the surface, they heard an explosion above, some dirt fell but nothing drastic happened, the clone was still intact and Jasui was safe aswell. So they were down their. He knew they only had a small supply of oxygen in the tunnel, though clones didn't need to breathe, they were basically mere illusions, though just in case he yelled ahead. "Double up the tunnel than head to the surface, remember to summon me." The snake replied with the digging of the tunnel, making it wider up to 4 ft tall and two ft wide, they started slide onto the snake as he dug he tunnel out though him and the clone made by his teacher slid on the snake and down at the bottom of the whole. The snake was almost to land so Jasui had little time, the doubling up of the tunnel allowed for more oxygen to get in, though the ground was still structurely sound to an extent. He only was able to utter a few words before heading back up to the surface. "Stay here and only come up when I call for you..." He was than brought before the snake on the surface. The snake had used the reverse summon technique and now Jasui was up on the surface, he still looked like his sensei, though he knew she would catch on so he merely changed back to his original self. He knew the clone would be safe for now but he still had to go down there to get her at one point.

So now he was on the surface with his snake clone, the clone in the ground, though he noticed the explosion had blackened the ground, though he didn't yet forget where his sensei was, he merely through 5 kunai at where his sensei had been before. Than from there the snakeskin was basically covering the entrance to the tunnel besides from the back, he and the original snake guarded the other hole that had been the snakes exit point just about 10 ft from the other hole.

So the clone underground and jasui and his snake ready to attack, though Jasui knew he only had a few more good jutsu with him so he had to preserve them for important stages of this fight.

Seiga watched his teammates actions with a slight smile keeping his shield raised high up, before swinging the object and stopping the exploding object, burying the end of the shield in the ground and sprinting while pulling up more dew to use encase he needed to form anymore ice. He decided to sprint over and stop next to Jasui "need any help?" he offered before whipping his hand through his hair and leaving the dew there onto while watching their surroundings. Carefully examining the far off sky line he would not see anything but his other teammate using some sort of glowing weapon. Sighing he would rub his hands together waiting in sweet anticipation of his sensei, and to a lesser extent teammates, moves. Deciding to take his place standing slightly to the left of Jasui he would be ready to create another ice shield, his legs were shaking slightly a few flecks of shrapnel embedded in his shins from the earlier explosion, but due to the fact it was ice the wounds would seem to just be blood with no cause, running down his legs to pool around and on his bare feet. Standing there he would will his legs to obey causing them to stiffen as he stood there waiting for the next strike. The scent of his blood flowed into his mind causing a slight anger to build in his eyes, not showing the true extent of his fury, as he scowled in distaste to watch the last member Tahji carefully with his peripheral vision, intending to be able to block both his teammates from any thrown attacks by throwing quickly formed icedisks in front of them.

Tahji looked as his sensei jumped off the tree. Suddenly a gust of wind blew towards him. It knocked him off his feet. But before he fell he jumped into the air and landed in a tree. He then hopped off and hid in the bush where no one could see him. He found a bottle of water half drank in the place he hid. He grinned and strapped the bottle of water on his belt. He found the cap a few feet away and sealed the bottle.

He jumped towards Seiga and said, "Mizu Shuugou no Jutsu!" He started to gather water around him. From the air and ground. That was why Tahji came near Seiga. Tahji could tell that Seiga was a Ice Manipulator. With that amount of water, Seiga would be able to manipulate more ice, and Tahji would be able to use more Suiton Jutsu.

"Use it well, Seiga," Tahji said. He then jumped back onto the tree he was on and said, "Teppoudama no Jutsu" while doing some handsigns. He fired a bullet made out of water towards his sensei. He then jumped backwards and ran towards Seiga. He panted a bit and stared at the tree.

Miku easily dodged the five kunai that had been thrown at her by Jasui. She stepped aside, left arm soaked from a suiton attack delivered by Tahji. She shook her arm, tiny droplets of water slinking down to her fingertips, dripping onto the grass below her. "END!" Miku's voice boomed over the surrounding area. It was in a firm voice that held authority, something she didn't actually use everyday, despite her rank as Jounin. She dispersed her clone and looked at her genins. She let the genins catch a breath or two. A breeze blew by and shook the tree's leaves and the stray pieces of grass. Miku's hair barely swayed along with the wind. She let out a deep breath. Her usual grin was not present, only a blank and somewhat pensive expression. The kunoichi thought over the last few minutes of the test. Jasui had summoned a snake, dug a hole, and went down under for some time. It wasn't until after her tags exploded that he had returned to the surface. He had left her clone in the tunnel. It seemed more amusing as she thought about it. He also had changed back to his normal appearance. What was he going to do then if she had let them continue? She mused some more. Seiga was bleeding. Red crimson blood went down his leg forming a miniature pool around his feet. He had thrown ice disks in front of his comrades. It was an attempt to fend off possible thrown attacks. That was something she wanted to see. Team mates looking out for each other. Tahji had fallen back from her fuuton attack and nearly landed on the ground, but jumped at last minute and landed on a tree branch. He had then vanished somewhere nearby. When he returned to the scene, he appeared the same except for the suspicious looking bottle that was on his belt. Had he had found that somewhere in some bush or tree? What luck! She thought, the corners of her mouth barely curling into a smirk. He had then gather water within the area, ground and air. It appeared he had attempted to lend Seiga a helping hand. Water was used to make ice, after all. Miku nodded her head to no one in particular as she continued to think it all over. Of course, after Tahji had assisted Seiga, he hit her with a suiton attack and then ran off towards his team mate again.

"Mm...So, from what I saw, you all have some good potential as shinobi. It's safe to say all three of you have Ninjutsu. I can teach you some, depending on the element... We'll do some training some other time, though..." She pushed back a loose strand of hair and continued, "About the test, Jasui seemed to take the role of defending my clone, Tahji took the blunt approach and continued to come at me with attacks, and Seiga seemed to be looking after you two with defensive ninjutsu. Overall, not too bad...Not too bad..." Miku spoke with understanding undertones. She walked closer to her genins and placed her hands on her hips. The grass crunched with every step she took. "At first, I was wanting to see a little more team work, but I noticed that the further along into the fight, the more you seemed to do so... Here's some candy! My treat!" A smile grew on her face as she reached into her jounin vest for the four lollipops. She tossed one to each of her students, before unwrapping her own and taking a few licks. She intended them to eat them right now along with her, but didn't exactly say so. Some children didn't have a sweet tooth like the young woman did. "Now, do any of you need healing? Don't hesitate to say so. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. I just need to know so I can take full responsibility and heal you." Miku said while taking another lick. "I'm a medical ninja, after all. It would be scandalous not to heal you! Kukukuku!" She laughed while giving her students a warm smile. In the back of her mind, the kunoichi wondered about how her students thought of her. Did they find her annoying? Unappealing? Awesome? Interesting? Truthfully, it didn't matter because she was their sensei and they would have to live with that, but she couldn't help but to wonder. Miku wasn't one of those people that tried to change her ways because of someone's opinion. She was who she was. That was how she was raised and that is what she believed in. The kunoichi stared and examined, awaiting a response, while she continued to eat her lollipop.

As they stood there, his teammate had lended a hand to Jasui, and the other helping out the teammate guarding Jasui. As he was about ready to launch his next set of attacks; noting the kunai had not hit considering there was no noice from his sensei, he was hoping for that to happen as a diversion to put forth his next plan, even bring out his sharingan maybe.
Than before he could make the move a booming voice came over the field. "END!" he knew what that meant, the fight was now over, so he walked over to his summon slightly away. "Thank you for your time Chiisa Hebi." He did a hand sign, and than there was a puff of smoke, Jasui had sent the shake back to his village. He walked back to his teammates, as he stopped his sensei had joined them. She talked of how she could train them, and how if they needed she could heal them.

"No thank you I do not need any healing." After he said this she reached into her vest and gave them each lolipops, of course Jasui took it, unwrapped it, and popped the sucker in his mouth. It was cherry, one of his favorite flavors.
"Thank you." He said nodding a sign of respect to her. This sensei was a weird one, though he kind of liked her attitude, she seamed like a good enough shinobi, and she could add fun to their time as genin and chuunin, though he will just have to wait and see.
