For a moment he was very confused, as all he saw was a large object obscuring his vision, this cleared up quickly however when he tilted his head back and saw the face of the huge man. Masato let out a chuckle at Chokurou’s amusing recollection of the speech, even though he would never have phrased it as such he still found it accurate and humorous. After the Akimichi introduced himself, Masato returned the bow before doing the same. [color=2F4F4F]”Saruwatari Masato, it is nice to make your acquaintance Chokurou.”[/color] He paused for a moment as his large comrade spoke again, nodding in agreement with his statement. [color=2F4F4F]”That does indeed appear to be the case, though I doubt that this reprieve will last very long. Given what just happened we are likely to be mobilized sooner rather than later.”[/color] Before their conversation could continue any further another individual made their way over to them. Unlike the previous stranger, Chokurou, this one was a great deal smaller as they were a similar size as Masato and they were also a female. He had seen her around, he had also seen Chokurou before since they all happened to be shinobi out of the same village, but he didn’t know her name. Well her given name at least, it was apparent that she belonged to the Hyuga. At her question Masato smiled pleasantly before gesturing to both Chokurou and his own side. [color=2F4F4F]”You are more than welcome to join us, though I am afraid we aren’t doing anything particularly exciting at the moment. Just discussing the meeting and the one conducting it. I am Saruwatari Masato by the way, I will let my new acquaintance introduce himself.”[/color] It would appear that their little section of the wall was quite popular as yet another person approached them shortly after leaving the lecture hall. Unlike the previous two this newest visitor was one that Masato knew of, though he doubted that the identification went both ways. Yamato Minamoru was the name of the approaching individual. Not only was his family widely known, but his exploits as a shinobi had caused his name to reach a level of fame all of its own. Despite the stories he had overheard involving Yamato’s personality, Masato respected him immensely. They were on opposite ends of the spectrum, but Yamato had done the one thing that Masato dreamed of doing for his whole life. Making a name for himself and improving the name of his family. He missed the first few words that Yamato spoke, caught up in his own thoughts, but caught up towards the middle. While he didn’t respond to the jounin, even if he respected him he still did know the rumours of his anger and wasn’t keen on invoking it, he did bow deeper than he would for most before Yamato left his little group to inspect others. With the high level shinobi gone he turned his attention back to the other two. [color=2F4F4F]”Well now that we seem to have ceased gathering interest, what would you two suggest we do with the remainder of our downtime?”[/color]
