Sosuke got up feeling rather refreshed. He was glad he was able to rest and he arrived at the hokage's place totally revitalized. Sosuke had heard rumors that Sereza of team four had gone away out on an important mission and would be replaced with someone else. He yawned still giving off how lazy he was. All of the excitement died when saw all of the students and sensei. Sosuke was still a slacker and things hardly motivated him. Besides that, he did not know the whereabouts of Hiroshi sensei. Nor Shisuzen or that other guy he was with. He sighed. They would most likely not be returning before the missions were given out. Sosuke, Liceus, Bayonetta, and Emiko would have to do a mission with a different teacher which only widened the gap between the students and the sensei. He hoped that this new sensei would be more permanent.

Bayonetta arrived barely on time. As usual, she was oddly informal with the hokage, but Ryoma did not seem to mind it. This was quite unfair seeing as Ryoma pestered everyone else about being so informal. Bayonetta took pride in her priviledge to call him Ri-kun. Though it was obvious to everyone that Bayonetta was much younger than Ryoma and had no right to be calling him Ri-kun. But Bayonetta didn't really what everyone else thought.
"Heya Ri-kun, what missions do you have for us today?" Bayonetta asked excitedly, "I hope it's something challenging because our team is pretty strong you know! And who's our new sensei?"

Miho was rather quiet and she didn't say anything like she normally did. She very quietly and very discretely migrated over to Cypher. She was hoping that no one noticed her grab his hand and wait for the Ryoma-sama to give out their missions. Almost everyone was here now and it was only a matter of time before they would disperse and be going on yet another mission. She was nearly giddy with excitement however that was not the expression on her face. However, that was not important at this point in time. She waited quietly wondering what her mission was going to be today.

Genken stood their with his hands in his pockets. The problem with Hikaru had been resolved to his relief. He didn't really much care for conflict and now that he didn't have any he could continue to be some what lazy as always. Sosuke was looking stronger... Well actually, most of team 3 was looking stronger. Their bonds seemed to have increased as well. He was excited as the potentional of the team was enormous. He looked at Ryoma and then at all of the students and sensei. Soon all the little genin would surpass them. It was only a matter of time. He wondered how the Sensei were taking that fact since Chunin exams were just around the corner.

Hana had a pretty good night. Mizari-sensei had treated her to ramen. Most sensei would have thought twice about doing something like that, but she was happy Mizari-sensei had done something so kind. She was wondering what happened to the other students on her team. She had not seen Hiroshi-sensei in a while either. Was it possible that they had disappeared yet again. Hana did not know. She was excited and couldn't wait to start on their new missions.
 
Cypher was surprised when Miho grabbed his hand. He blushed lightly and turned to Miho "Hey." he looked more tired than he did the day on the way to the village of mists, he hadn't slept since then. Hopefully he would get some rest between now and the mission's start, he highly doubted it
 
Ryoma looked at around at everyone. Well it seemed that almost everyone was here.
"Well before we begin, I must make note of some team changes. Sereza sensei is out on a mission and will not return to the village until quite some time. Meanwhile we have Sensei Katsu replacing her and he will be the leader of Team 4. Kiba will be joining Team 5. And it is evident that Hiroshi sensei will be absent for the time being. So we have a replacement for him coming in as well. Sorry for the inconvenience and it seems as though a few teams will be cut short a member or two, but I do not expect that to hinder your abilities." Ryoma said eyeing all of the sensei and students.
"Now for the missions, Team two you are after two members of an elite underground organization. They have been deemed a threat to both the Sand and Leaf Village. The two of them are extremely powerful and confrontation is dicouraged. We have not gotten any reports about their abilities, but that is beacause all that confront them do not return. It safe to assumed that the teams that encountered them are dead or captured. They are looking for supporters and have found only a few since they have started to wreck havoc. Seeing as this is their first appearance near the Leaf Village, only find out what they are after and then return here. They were last seen near the mountain pass. Genken, it is best if your team dispersed immediately."
 
"You know you can go right in, don't you?" this came from a bloke, he must of been a Jounin, Kiba just nodded his head in thanks and quietly answered "no i didnt i thought we had to wait" Kiba was a polite boy but sometimes he was to polite.
He walked through the door and bowed his head to the hokage, "Morning all" he walked in and once again lent against a wall. There was so many faces he didnt recognize he didnt know what to do so he zipped his lip and just waited fr the teams to be announced.

Kiba listened as his name was mentioned, he was joining team 5. Kiba was wondering what they would be like would they be horrible because he had only just started, he was a few days late in the selection process; but would that make him a target?

Kiba didnt like the fact he was late in the selection process but he was sure he would be alright with his new team.
 
Nayuki

Awake, Hyper and Cheery! Nayuki awoke the next day full of energy feeling a lot better and refreshed. After being dismissed Nayuki had felt exhausted, she had still been suffering from the loss of Chakra when trying to keep everybody alive only two days before.

The Hokage quickly called upon the ninja in the village for a briefing on their missions, the mission assigned to her team sounded difficult. As expected of Genken sensei, but she would try her hardest! This was to protect the village of Konoha, her home. Excited to go on an adventure with her new team, Nayuki starred off into space in her own little world wondering what was going to happen next.


Hikaru

A fresh morning arose upon the horizon of the mountainside as Hikaru slowly awoke from his slumber vaguely recalling the events from the day before. As his memory slowly came back to him he thought back to their first meeting with their sensei, an odd start but they sorted it out in the end, Hikaru apologised to sensei – played it cool. Did some Taijutsu training, to then go back to the house and fall asleep next to an exhausted Nayuki.

Once again, Hikaru found himself standing in the Hokage's office with everyone gathered. Briefing the teams on their task as well as the change of a Sensei for team four, Sensei Katsu was the man's name. Looking around curiously, Hikaru tried to find this mysterious new Sensei but could only see familiar faces. Who the heck was this guy? He'd never heard of a "Katsu" before. He lingered on the thought for a moment then decided to drop it. The new Sensei was none of his concern… the new mission was of a lot more concern, it didn't sound easy that was for certain. Up against the elite? Heck, they sure have high expectations of team 2. Well…we'll just have to meet them then!


Katsu

Sunlight shot through the leaves as the sun came up trying desperately to wake Katsu from his slumber. But to no avail, it was ignored. Somewhere in a random tree, he lay relaxing under a tree…quite peacefully> listening to birds chirping and the wind whistling a merry tune. Alcohol at his disposal and no women around to slap him in the face!

This was the life…chilling under a tree.

Well… he was actually meant to be at the Hokage's mansion, but Katsu couldn't be bothered wandering anywhere this early in the morning and asked the Hokage to brief him the day before, informing Ryoma that if he would probably be under a tree near the training grounds. His life in the ANBU quickly got tedious; Katsu wasn't a great fan of wearing a mask and having no identity. So… he left.
A large sheepish grin fell across his face as he wondered what his team would be like.
 
Hotaru watched the Hokage, listening to his words as she stood, her muscles sore and her mind tired. She knew that today would have been a busy day, but she didn't care; pain was just your body growing stronger.

She turned towards Genken, studying her Sensei's facial expressions in regards to the mission. She thought that the mission seemed pretty tough, but maybe not as tough as protecting the Kazekage. She blinked away painful memories as she looked back to the Hokage then to Genken, waiting for his dismissal.
 
Ryoma dismissed Team 2. Genken was hoping that his team would follow him out.
"Team 3, the spy that you captured escaped our grasp. He is connected to the group that Team 2 just left to find. You need to go back to the Sound Village and talk to someone known as Makoto Nagano. He has first basis information on the underground organization, but it's uncertain as to whether or not he will give this information to you quietly and it's likely that he has allies waiting to assist him should the situation get a little out of hand. If you can kill him after getting your desired information, do it, otherwise subdue him so that he does not follow you back to the village and get valuable information. Make sure that you are extremely cautious on your way back home. It is extremely important that no one follows you back here. Your replacement sensei will be at the entrance gates in one hour. Get a move on and do not tarry. Good timimng is essential. Please be on time, Bayonetta."
 
Emiko had spent the time she was supposed to be at the Hokage's office looking for Liceus. He was nowhere to be found at the moment. It wasn't really like him to just go off like that but slowly the girl brushed It off. If he wanted to be found he would've been. "I'm sure he'll turn up when needed." She muttered as she gave up her search. Walking past a local store Emiko noticed the time. She was way to late to make it to the Hokage's office. "Crap" She whimpered. "This sucks... I guess I'll go meet them up front then." Emiko turned around and trotted along in the other direction towards the front gates. "At least I can get there before them" She grumbled hoping that Sosuke wouldn't be to ticked off at her for not showing up. As she thought, she made it to the gates before the rest of her team and waited silently for the others.
 
Sosuke did not fuss at Emiko for not showing up to the Hokage's office and he joins her. He was curious as to who this replacement sensei would be. He sighed. Now all they had to do was wait for Liceus. Though Sosuke was sure that he would be here soon. It wasn't like him to just skip out on a mission. Sosuke offered a smile at Emiko and bowed politely at her. He was eating an apple and he offered her one, wondering if she had eaten yet, though it seemed highly unlikely that Emiko had eaten at all. Sosuke knelt down on the ground and wrote in his strategy book like he always did. He had nothing about Bayonetta except that she was really good with designing training grounds and was really close with Ryoma-sama. This pretty much equaled nothing. What made Bayonetta so special that she could be so informal with the hokage without being scolded.

Ryoma looked at Team 4. They were going to either have a very easy mission or a very hard one. It was hard to say.
"Team 4, you will be escorting a Leaf Shinobi back to the village safely. He was captured by the enemy some years back, but now he has appeared safe and sound in the Hidden Rain Village. I will advise extreme caution because the Hidden Rain Village was recently overtaken by a powerful enemy by the name of Yasashii. If he is encountered, flee. If you confront him, not only will your deaths be inevitable, but it will most like be a rather painful death. As for as the escort... if you deem him hostile or untrustworthy tie him up and leave him where he stands. Konoha does not have time to deal with traitors."

 
(OOC: >.> liceus was the FIRST one in the hokages office i did mention that)

Licues arrived at the front gates, shortly before everyone else , he was tired and his head stung, he was not in the mood for any snippy quips. If ayon had an issue, then he would just ignor her or lay into her, wither one right how ihios damned hangove wasnt helping at all. Seeing Emiko at the front gate was the frist good news he's seen all way. As usual everything they attmepted to do didn go off without a hitch perfect.

"Emiko you missed the meeting , and your bra straps are showing." Liceus was speaking jokingly but they were showing and knowing her embarrassment factor, he thought he'd better mention it before someone else did. "Well that guy we caught had ties, so were headed back to the hidden sound to see what a bloke by the name Makoto knows." Cracking his neck a little he looked around, something wasn't gelling, first their sensei goes awol, now they get a new member on a mission whose chummy with the useless hokage...Just fabulous.
 
Sosuke bows to Liceus.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you say that Liceus." Sosuke says smiling at him.
He wondered who this replacement sensei was going to be. He continued to right in his strategy book though again his strategies were far from incomplete with Bayonetta to factor in. This was going to be difficult to execute as a team especially since he didn't have Hiroshi-sensei, but a different sensei to account for. Sosuke sighed. He wondered if he was going to catch a break about all these changes and what not. It wasn't until he thought that did the new sensei show up.

Ryoma looked at the final Team. Team 5.
"Team 5 this will be you first mission, Hana it will be your second. Kiba, this will be your first mission. Hana, you will know the student that you are after on this mission. His name is Shinichi Kikuchi. We need to bring him back to the Village at all costs. Shinichi Kikuchi is a force to be reckoned with. Mizari-sensei, please take extreme caution. I am not sure of this student's potentional and he will need to be brought back to me for questioning. Do not unecessarily provoke him. A good way to persuade Shinichi into coming quietly is to mention his rival Sosuke Motodori. When you capture him, do not let him out of your sights. That could mean your death or his escape. He was last seen at the Sand Village. Please leave as soon as possible."

Bayonetta looked at Liceus. She sighed. Well, she could always have Sosuke. She smiled at the thought. However, it was likely that Sosuke would reject her advances, but she wouldn't know unless she tried. Bayonetta was curious about the sensei they would be getting. The hokage probably would come up with something spectacular. She hoped so anyway.

After Everyone had left his office. The hokage got up and headed outside to meet Team 3.

"Ryoma-sama!? You're our new sensei!?" Sosuke asked, his jaw nearly dropping down to the ground.

[I am making the hokage a sensei so I don't have to control more characters. Sorry for my laziness everyone.]

Hana watched the hokage leave and then at her sensei. They would be going on their first mission as a team together. She hoped that things would go well between all of them. She was however still her loud boisterous self.
"Hey Kiba! I'm Hana Momochi and one day I'm going to become Kazekage of the Sand Village!" She said rather loudly.
She bowed to Kiba before leaving the hokage's office. She was going to have train for her and Kiro now.
 
(Sorry!)

Emiko shot around to see her teammates. Her face was red. How could she not notice that her bra strap was showing!? "She fumbled to fix is, hoping that no more of her teamates would notice. She couldn't even tell she was shaking at the moment. Then she turned to Liceus" T-Thanks Lice" She muttered as she listened to his breif explanation of their mission. She then turned to the rest of her team. "G-Goodmorning Sosuke and Bayonetta" She spoke eagerly. "And Hiro-...Wait Ryoma sama?" She was confused. Emiko was expecting Hiroshi sensei instead. She pushed the tips of her bang away from her eye just to be sure she was seeing okay.
 
"we better find renji ....and uhhhhh sensei and get going I guess? We uhhhhhh...can talk on the way there... I ermmm guess?" ​cyph's looked at Miho. Even though his face was nearly all covered his eyes showed he was happy, and awkward, but mostly happy. He didnt mind if others noticed them together as much as they hated him. He tightened his grip on her hand.
 
Kiba had just got his first mission and it didnt sound easy. But this is what he wanted, he had trained year after year so he was more then confident in what he could do; as for his team well it could take some time to learn about them.

"Hey Kiba! I'm Hana Momochi and one day I'm going to become Kazekage of the Sand Village!" Kiba turned to face his new team member "Hey nice to meet you too. Im kiba and im going to be one of the top anbu trackers"

Kiba stood up straight and walked out; he had already got his supplies so headed to Konoha's main Gate to wait for the rest of Team 5 to show up.
Whilst waiting he was practining his Charka control he wernt to bad at this but he couldn't always keep the attention to keep a steady flow, he pushed the charka towards his feet then once he had the right amount he ran at the nearest wall and walked up the wall and sat on the top of gates arch way. "Wow what a view !" Kiba had a clear view of the whole city from wall to wall it was massive but it was such a great view.
 
Ryoma smiled at Emiko.
"Yes I am going to be the new sensei of your team for the time being. Oh won't it be exciting?" The hokage say smiling.
He was happy to have his own group of students for once. However, he wouldn't be doing too much of their mission. He will only step in when needed. Besides, this gave him a chance to see a preview of what he could look forward to at the chunin exams.
"Well, since we're all here, let's get moving to the Sound Village shall we?" Ryoma said before dashing out of the entrance.

Sosuke looked at Emiko.
"Emiko, did you know about this?" He was probably just as shocked as she was.

Bayonetta looked rather happy about this latest arrangement. She was going to have the hokage as a sensei. This was going to be great, but that also meant she was now on a very short leash. This also meant she couldn't do anything extreme because the Hokage would be watching her. She had a feeling that things were going to get hairy on this mission since the hokage had decided to come with them, but wasn't that dangerous too? Wasn't there a higher chance of Konoha gettin attacked or Ryoma getting killed now that he was out in the field? Well it couldn't be helped. Team 3 needed a sensei and Ryoma was fit for the job.

Miho looked at Cypher.
"The hokage did say some teams would be short a few members. I think it will just be me, you and the new sensei that appeared just recently. I wonder when he'll get here..." Miho said lost in her thoughts.

Hana smiled at Kiba waited down at the entrance for the rest of her team. There was no sign of Mizari sensei yet. She hoped that he would arrive soon. She wanted to get started on the mission right away. Besides, she couldn't get stronger for Kiro if they didn't start the mission right away. She was rather giddy with excitement and could hardly stand still.
 
"Y-Yesir" She Emiko muttered quite stiffly in eply to Ryoma-sensei. She couldn't help but feel abit awkward around him. She had no idea how much he really knew about her and was kind of paranoid when it came to this. She then turned to Sosuke. "Nuh uhh... No idea" . Emiko would surely be on her toes this misson 'No showing off but no sacking, she thought. As the team began to leave Emiko strayed to the back of the pack. As usual she followed quite silently lost in thought.
 
"you're uhhh.... Less shy than usual... Today, Miho ... Errrrr are you?" cypher was very awkward. He was nervous too, he had an easy mission and that was ok but being around Miho made him conscious of everything he did
 
Nayuki
Excitement filled up within Nayuki as they were sent out to do their mission. She was so excited! eagerly she followed behind Genken toward their mission! Still thinking about all the clothes she could make with the items she packed. The materials she brought packed were few…after all she had to carry all of her antidotes and small jars of herbs, as well as a couple of things to eat on the way.

They were going against the elite after all; well she always had it on her anyway… but still! Hikaru, Hotaru and Sensei would need their strength and Nayuki knew that her dumplings and herbal tea would be the best thing for it. A relaxing aroma of perfume… to help calm her down –
A good mind is always a calm one!

Briefly glancing at a man, a Jonin - who called out for Miho and Cypher...was that their senseu? Nayuki felt a little jealous...he was pretty good looking.

Hikaru
A grin appeared across Hikaru's face as he watched Nayuki follow behind Genken-Sensei, she was looking forward to this a heck of a lot more than he was… that was for sure! It'd be difficult, but he knew he had to trust his team. The basics of being in a team – trust, knowing each-others weaknesses… shielding those weaknesses by replacing that weakness with another.

The girl, Hotaru however looked quite serious to him… Hikaru wandered what kind of personality she had. The girl seemed quiet for the most part and observant…definitely not as hyperactive as Nayuki. Dropping the thought with a shrug he then proceeded to follow his sensei. Briefly noting the other Jonin that arrived as he did so.


Katsu
Noticing that his students weren't making their way toward him anytime soon, Katsu couldn't help but smile. Haha, that old geezer… is making me get of my arse again? Good on ya mate. Arising from his relaxed position laying under the warmth of the smiling sun, tempting him into a slumber… ah the good old time when you could just chill out under a tree and not be bothered, with birds passing over; flying merrily singing a nice tune. Which is totally fine! At least until they finally decide that you are now the bane of existence to then proceed to use their bowels to attack you.

But more important matters than bird poo were at hand. He would finally, if not rather reluctantly have to venture toward the Hokage's mansion to go and pick up his new student. There's no rest for the wicked…ever.

Upon entering the room surrounded by people, Katsu opened with a large grin on his face as cheerfully introduced himself. "Yo! Are Cypher and Miho chillin' around here?" he leant himself against a patch of wall near the door as he looked around to the group of eager Genin. "I'm ya sensei, we've got some babysittin' to do."
 
Sosuke was more or less dumbstruck. He was shocked to find out that the hokage was their new sensei. He shook his head in disbelief. This whole ordeal was going to be even more dangerous and more crucial. Hopefully his team would be able prove themselves to the hokage and maybe they'd prove to him how well he worked as team with them. Sosuke just sighed and headed off into the trees without his team. He hoped that they would just follow him without asking any questions. The hokage already seemed to know how things worked and he waited for Emiko and Liceus to move so that he could follow.

Ryoma was very interested in seeing what team 3 could do. They had proven themselves this far. It was only a matter of time before they became powerful Chunin all their own. This year's chunin exams were going to be fun to watch and even more fun to excute. There was a lot to be seen for this generation's chunin exams. The matches would only prove to be the easy part and part two was just the most deadly.

Bayonetta did not say anything as she followed Sosuke into the trees. She would have to explain her techniques to Sosuke seeing as he had not seen any of what she could do just yet. She wondered more about what Emiko was capable of. When they returned, the two of them would have to have a friendly sparring match to see just how good she was. Emiko seemed to be a bit shy and Bayonetta was determined to change that. The girl couldn't date someone arrogant and be shy. However, they had the entire trip to talk about such matters.

Miho looked at Cypher.
"Didn't you hear? Renji got sent back to the academy. There was a part he hadn't passed yet so there's a possibility he may join us in the future." Her voice was barely audible above the wind.
She saw her new sensei and bowed as usual. He seemed to be a really cool person and she smiled at him behind her mask. She wondered jutsus he had and what he would teach her. He almost reminded her a little of Genken and Sosuke. This teacher, called Katsu, seemed to be a little lazy, but you could never judge a book by its cover. Miho learned that a long time ago.

Genken looked at his team. It appeared as though they were all ready to leave the village. Besides there mission was not easy in the least. He was grateful that the team had a medical ninja. They would probably need it if this mission was as difficult as it sounded.
"Well, is everyone ready to head out? I don't want anyone to leave anything behind." Genken warned. He looked at his team.
He was confident that everyone would be just fine and hopefully they all got along just fine too.


 
"I... I dont get told things... " Cypher sighs. "Im surprised... I ummm Am being told by you... now. People expect... that .... errrrr becaue Of my Stealth Jutsus I.... I... ehhh Know every thing... I guess..." He sighed an looked up at sensei. He didnt know him and didnt know his name.
Cypher played with his hair, distracted by some unknown thing. His eyes had lost their regular glow, and his face showed that he was very tired. He hadnt gotten an wink of sleep. He couldnt help it though.
