Sutemasu had awoken early, as she tended to do. She was a morning person after all, someone that could enjoy the sea of time that became available to her if she woke early. The fact that she lived in a peaceful area might have helped with becoming a morning person, perhaps. There was something about the singing of birds that seemed awfully enjoyable to Sutemasu. She spent her morning making breakfast and tea, enjoying said breakfast and tea, and then cleaning her house. It wasn't messy, it's just that sometimes you just need to relocate some items so that everything becomes slightly nicer to look at. She was interrupted, however, by her doorbell ringing, which could only mean one thing. [i]Visitors![/i] This early, though? Perhaps a neighbor needed help with something, she asked herself, before heading to the door. She was there within mere seconds, opening the door and being greeted by Otsumi, the assistant of the Raikage. [color=pink]“Aaa.. Otsumi, can I help you?”[/color] The exchange of information was rather awkward, more so for Otsumi than Sutemasu. Once it was completed, however, Sutemasu realized that today was actually the day that the new teams would be formed. An exciting day fore veryone involved, she guessed, since she didn't quite know any of the involved chunin. 

As far as the jonin went, she only knew that Hageshi and Minaru were involved. Hageshi she knew decently, having worked with him once or twice on the odd mission. She wasn't sure how she ranked up against him - or anyone, for that matter. She didn't have a very high self esteem and she even had the faint idea that one of the chunins might even be able to beat her. But there was no sense beating herself up over it. What they didn't have and she did have was experience. That was worth something. Minaru on the other hand she knew by name - he was quite the character she'd heard. He was a prodigy of sorts, reaching the rank of jonin at an age where others were still busy doing genin stuff. It was impressive, but she wondered how it'd affect him personality wise.

She got dressed a few minutes after Otsumi left, putting on her long sleeved black shirt, and then putting her flak-vest on. Once she was finished with getting dressed she left the house, making sure to lock the house behind her. Wouldn't want anyone breaking in. The walk to the raikages office was not too long, somewhere between ten minutes and fifteen minutes. It was a relaxing walk, never the less, since nobody was around at this time except some shop owners who were getting their shops ready to open up for the day. She greeted some of them, mostly those whom she knew. 

She entered the office and noticed she was the first. [color=pink]“Oh.. excuse me mrs. A. I didn't realize I was.. too early. I'm sorry, I'll wait outside.”[/color] The raikage waved her concern away and beckoned her towards the chairs that were stood in front of the coffeetable, so Sutemasu simply smiled in gratitude and sat down, crossing her legs over eachother and waiting patiently for Minaru and Hageshi to arrive. Once they did, she simply attended the meeting in full and then left once they were expected to.

[hr]

When they walked outside, Sutemasu turned to the two jonin that were with her. [color=pink]“Hageshi-san, Minaru-kun, I am going to fetch my team now. Let's meet at the entrance to Kumogakure once we are done and ready to head out. I'll see you there!”[/color] She waved politely and then headed out, leaving the two behind them. 

First on her list was Uchiha Kota. She knew where he lived, because the team lists were supplied with a short note with them that stated some basic info on the chunin, like their name, age and address. And surely at this time of the day, he'd still be home? She walked over, not rushing to get there or anything. Once there, she knocked on the door politely and waited for him to open the door. [color=pink]“Good morning Kota-kun. I'm Kowareta Sutemasu, and I'm your new sensei. Please follow me, while we go collect the other two chunin.”[/color] She smiled at him briefly before turning around and leaving immediately. She headed to Kasumi's house, which wasn't too far away. Barely a block or so, she estimated.

Once she arrived there she followed the same procedure. Knock on the door, wait for them to open it, and then greet them. Easy enough. [color=pink]“Kasumi-chan? I'm Kowareta Sutemasu. I'm going to be your new sensei starting today. Please, do follow me. We are on the way to find your third and then the final team mate, Abukara Reiji, and Amehime Oukami.”[/color] The girl reminded her of a teammate she used to have, whom had passed on to the afterlife some time ago. She could only hope the same fate would not befall this young girl. She didn't let on to her thoughts, however, and proceeded to Abukara Reiji's house. They simply walked, since Sutemasu wasn't content to waste energy right before a mission. 

[i]Knock knock.[/i] Some time had passed ever since she left and Sutemasu wondered if she'd be on time for the rest of the jonins. She'd hate to be late, and cause the mission to start later. But, well, they only had to leave at 12AM.. so there was a lot of time. Enough time for the chunins to get dressed, if they hadn't already. [color=pink]“Reiji-kun? I'm sorry for being so early, but I am Kowareta Sutemasu. I'm going to be your new sensei from today on. Please get ready to head out.”[/color]

Finally Amehime's turn was there. They arrived at the home, which kind of gave Sutemasu a strange feeling. When she knocked on the door, an older woman opened the door. [color=pink]“Excuse me, is Amehime home? I'm his new sensei. We'll be heading on a mission later today, so I am here to collect him.”[/color] 

Once Amehime was ready to join them they would head out. Now that the team was together, Sutemasu led them to a bench not too far from there. [color=pink]“Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to do the introductions rather quickly since the Raikage wants us to head out on a mission with some other teams. I'm Kowareta Sutemasu, I'm 28 years old and I live near the village edge. If you ever need anything, feel free to contact me!”[/color] She tilted her head slightly and smiled at the three chunin, her eyes squeezing together slightly with enjoyment. It was clear she was a cheerful, friendly sort of person. Perhaps that gave them the idea that she was weak, but they were free to think that. [color=pink]“Reiji-kun, Amehime-kun, Kota-kun, Kasumi-chan, please introduce yourself, tell us your age and something about yourself, and then we'll head out!”[/color]

With the introductions completed rapidly, they headed out at a more rapid tempo. Sutemasu made sure to arrive at the village gates early, to make sure they'd not be late. But it seemed that once again she was early to the party, and stood at the village gate all alone with her team. [color=pink]“Oh.. I guess we were a bit too fast with the introductions. Well.. It's fine. Let's just take a few minutes to relax before we go on the mission.”[/color] Now would be a good time to relax with their teammates, and have a conversation or something while they waited for the rest. Of course.. they were under no obligation to do that, as long as they stayed in the area.
