[b]"Whatsup!"[/b] a voice shouted, throwing Fuyuko off her concentration. Glancing up, the woman smiled, waving at the blue eyed Genin.

[color=DC143C]"Oh, hey there!"[/color] she responded. [color=DC143C]"You're kinda earlier than expected, but that's a good thing, isn't it?"[/color]

Fuyuko didn't really have much to do at that point. Sure, she had her book, but even she felt a bit awkward when things weren't playing out in front of her. Maybe if she started up some random conversation her boredum would ease away?

[b]"So Sensei, this mission has to do with that organization right? What's this organization business gotta do with us and being special and all?"[/b]

Oh well. Looks like Seichi was happy to do it for her.

Pocketing her book, Fuyuko panned over to Seichi. [color=DC143C]"Yes, it does… We've been sent to eliminate a threat over at Yugakure, someone who's been suspected to be a member of this organization the ANBU have been stalking for the past month."[/color]

Looking away, the woman gazed up at the sky, her eyes following the floating clouds. [color=DC143C]"I wanted to tell you guys this when you're all here, but seeing as you're so eager, might as well just say it now. We've decided to take a more… discreet approach towards this organization. We don't want any sort of commotion going on inside the village when there's already problems beginning to surface outside of it, so the Hokage's keeping quiet about it. For now, anyways. I mean, it's not like anyone's going to suspect a bunch of fresh-out-the-Academy Genin, right?"[/color]

Panning back to Seichi, Fuyuko smiled. [color=DC143C]"Well, I hope that's answered your question, then. Now, all we have to do is wait for the others…"[/color]

As if on queue, the young Koizumi appeared at the gate, bags packed for the long journey ahead. Dressed in the same attire from the last time they had fought, Asuka made her way to the two other ninja with quiet steps. She clutched the strap of her shoulder bag, displaying a small smile.

[color=f49ac2]"Good morning, Seichi-kun, Fuyuko-sensei."[/color]

[color=DC143C]"Great! Now that makes two of us. Now we're just waiting for that guy with the head of electrocuted fluff…"[/color]

Asuka tried to stiffle her giggles, putting a hand to her mouth. [color=f49ac2]"I see that you must be referring to Reiji-san, no?"[/color]

The older woman huffed, crossing her arms. It was clear that ever since the test from two days ago, a grudge against the platinum haired boy was beginning to grow at the back of Fuyuko's head. The fact that she got knocked out by a teen two ranks below her remained a secret amongst the rest of her students and her friend Hiroki. To be honest, Fuyuko actually found it quite irritating and downright embarrassing.

[color=DC143C]"Well, who else would I be referring to? That fuzzy haired bastard's gotta keep an eye out if he doesn't want to his hair smelling like that one time when I forgot to put water in my instant ramen cup."[/color]

Instead of laughing, Asuka stood there, dumbfounded. Forgetting to put water in microwave ramen? Asuka could fully understand someone burning their cooking on the stove, but forgetting the water in the cup was just absolutely ridiculous.

[color=DC143C]"What? There's this thing called being drunk [i]and[/i] desperate… Shit, I need to rephrase that…"[/color]

Whilst Fuyuko tried to rethink her seemingly misinterpreted words, Asuka gazed at the long dirt path before her. She'd actually never been that far from the village before, and the feeling of leaving home without any guarantee that she'll come back alive was quite nerve wracking. Although she didn't want to be too reliant on Fuyuko, she knew she was safer with her. The test from two days ago was more than enough to make Asuka realise that messing with Fuyuko was no joke.

[color=f49ac2]"So, it's just us three for the meantime? Have Toko-kun and Seji-san arrived yet, or are we still waiting for them?"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"They're not coming back."[/color]

Her sensei's words hit Asuka straight in the heart. They weren't coming back? How? Why?

[color=f49ac2]"Fuyuko-sensei, you're not-"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"No, I'm not kidding around. I have my own reasons for dropping those two from the squad."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"But sensei, you didn't even give Toko-kun a chance to-"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"I know what he's capable of. Asuka, not even you can slice trees that big… That boy possesses a unique kekkei genkai that enhances the weapons he carries. Of course, that boy has a lot of potential, but in my eyes, he just doesn't seem fit for the team yet. Also, Seji, while an academic genius and proficient in his ninjutsu, I'm not sure if he's suitable for a group like this… There's just no way I'm taking any chances that could put this group at risk."[/color]

So that's how it was. Just like that, and her friend and an acquaintance of hers had been removed. Asuka felt the need to argue against her teacher's actions, but at the same time, she was beginning to come to her senses about the change. She didn't want to admit it, but Toko wasn't the strongest of ninjas, especially when it came to techniques and such. All he had was a sword and a body that could hopefully wind through the much larger opponents Toko would often encounter.

Sighing, Fuyuko unfolded her arms, shoving them into her pocket.[color=DC143C] "Once Reiji arrives, we'll be setting off. Understood?"[/color]
