[center][h2][color=0054a6]Dotorame Osumari, “Doto-doto”[/color][/h2][/center] Doto left his house pretty early, wanting to train in the training yards a few hours before he went to school. He walked slowly, his hands behind his head as he whistled a song. He was cheerful today, as he was always. But when he arrived at the training yard, he noticed that he'd been ousted, as someone was already practicing in the field. [color=0054a6]“Nehhh?! Haruka-sama! Oooooi!”[/color] he said while waving frantically at the chunin. Haruka sensei was not only 4 years his senior, he was also a chunin, and thus a whole rank higher than Doto himself. He quickly closed the distance with Haruka-sama, continueing with him waving at the chunin. Dotorame had a big smile on his face and he appeared ecstatic. It had been a while since he saw Haruka-sama, the last time being right before Haruka's graduation. [color=0054a6]“Oi, Haruka-sama! How have you been, Haruka-sama?!”[/color] Dotorame looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes - he had hoped to hear atleast some good stories of awesome missions Haruka had been on. He had always had a certain degree of admiration for the chunin, of which many he knew. One day he hoped to become like them, fighting opponents of Konoha. He suddenly tilted his head sideways, looking at Haruka in a questioning manner. [color=0054a6]“Ehh? What are you doing here Haruka-sama? Shouldn't you be out, doing missions? I was gonna use this training field to train a little bit before school, so I could show my sensei what I've learned, but since you're here..”[/color] It took him a while to realize that there was now also a girl there. He slowly glanced at her, not realizing who it was until he had already made a fool out of himself. [color=0054a6]“Oh, oi, Aoi-sama!”[/color] he said as he waved cheerfully, smiling with a big smile. He held his chokuto in his hand as he spun it around a bit, obviously bored. [hr] [center][img]http://i61.tinypic.com/191nd2.jpg[/img] [h2][color=9e0039]Yamato Minamoru, “Young Master”[/color][/h2][/center] [hr] Yamato had felt somewhat strange after the entire ordeal with the Jashinists. He had wanted to 'question' Takeshi about his ties to Jashin cults, as he felt Takeshi was somehow involved. But Takeshi had seemingly gone into the hospital after he got his arm ripped off, and Yamato hadn't bothered to go see how that idiot was doing. Likewise, he had wanted to visit Paneru for a friendly [i]talk[/i], since she fled the fight in a crucial moment. But he hadn't gotten the chance to do that as of yet, being mostly busy dodging Fujitora's constant pestering with questions Yamato could hardly answer, whether that was because it'd implicate his family or because he simply had no answer. Finally released after a few weeks worth of on-and-off questioning, he decided to spend his time well. Atleast, that was his [i]plan.[/i] It wasn't long before he received a phone call from his mom. [b]“Yamato! The restaurant is opening again, since your boss-man Fujitora man thing decided to unfreeze our bussinesses. Took him long enough. Get over here and get to work!”[/b] He sighed. There went his plans. Atleast Rei would be there, and he'd be able to keep an eye on her. She had been.. somewhat unstable over the last few weeks, crying randomly. Yamato hadn't really done anything about it, since he had worries of his own, nor did he think too much of it. Rei was fragile, more fragile than himself and he knew this to be true. This was to be expected. After a short walk he arrived in Smalltown, bordering on Downtown. The Mighty Naruto was located here, in a somewhat decent area. He swung open the door and raised a hand towards his mom. [color=9e0039]“I'm here.”[/color] he said as he looked around the store. There were only a few people there, but enough to warrant him being there. He got behind the counter and put on an apron and started cleaning glasses. This was gonna be such a long day. He glanced at Rei, who was sitting alone at a table, with a kunai laying in front of her. All Yamato could do was shake his head. [hr] [center][img]http://i61.tinypic.com/2ew1dnt.jpg[/img][/center] [center][h2][color=black]Ayame Choko, “the Sewstress”[/color][/h2][/center] Ayame looked over the small group that had gathered in the trainingfields from the shadows of the leaves. She sat in a tree, watching, trying to get info on what the small gathering had planned. It seemed that Haruka was practicing his speed, admirable but.. it seemed useless to practice speed on techniques that were so lowly ranked. She wouldn't complain about it to Haruka, obviously. It seemed Aoi was walking around, bored as well. She said something about sharing a secret, and Ayame couldn't help but wonder what this secret would be. Another person present there was Dotorame, a genin who was a temporary student of Kodama-san. She knew that Kodama wasn't bound to head out with his genin today, and they had a day off. But in the shinobi world, every day is a day of work. Whether that was training or a mission, that was up for discussion. She slowly got up, maintaining her balance perfectly well, without rustling any of the trees. Ayame wasn't a coventional fighter, rather, she was a covert shinobi who excelled in missions that required delicacy, political knowledge and silence. Her senbonjutsu were catered to this perfectly. Although this was not a covert operation, she still used stealth, more out of reflex than anything else. When the party of three would've finished speaking, she jumped up and landed near the group, her long sleeves catching the wind but extending past her hands again once she'd landed. Her twin tails jumped around slightly as she landed, bouncing left and right until they stopped again. It didn't bother her. [color=black]“Aoi-kun, Haruka-kun.. good to see you are still around and kicking after that ordeal with Yamato.”[/color] She'd adjust her gaze to face Dotorame, before adressing him. [color=black]“Doto, you don't have school today.”[/color] Before Dotorame could interrupt her and tell her that he [i]did[/i], in fact, have school today she looked back at Aoi and Haruka. [color=black]“Aoi, Haruka, collect Daiki and take Dotorame with you. Go to the village gate, and ask the two gate guards for your mission for the day.”[/color] She would smile in a sinister, but endearing way before nodding at all three of them. As quickly as she'd appeared, she'd jump away again and continue on her way. [hr] As soon as the party had arrived at the village gate and asked the two guards for their mission, they'd be handed an official village mission scroll. The scroll would read the following.. [indent][b]Mission 23 of the month April.[/b] [i]Contractor: mistress Orojina of the village of Rijin. Payment: 10.000 Ryo Dear hokage-sama. I am mistress Orojina of the village of Rijin. My tasks here in the village vary, although I usually act as spokeswoman for the village when the need for it arises. However, that is not the reason I write you. Recently, I have been involved in a delicate situation in which my primary rival and contender for the title of spokeswoman, miss Doto-[/i][/indent] At this time, the person reading the text would get interrupted somewhat abruptly by Dotorame, who would say to the rest, [color=0054a6]“I bet her name is Dotorame, like me.”[/color] After a short lull in the reading, whoever was reading would be able to continue. [indent][i].. Dotomira. It seems as though she has sent a man to my house to torment me, as he stands outside my house yelling.. love-admittals at me until I walk out my door to be rid of him, after which he quickly runs away in the direction of Dotomira's house. Normally this would be fine, since I am a beautiful woman and I have no doubt this man could truthfully be in love with me. However, given the circumstances.. Dotomira threatened to send a loveman after me, something that my servant later explained to me was similar to a hitman, except they don't kill you, but instead admit their love for you until you go insane. Since she's openly admitted this to me, I fear she is trying to ruin my reputation as a good upstanding woman, and wants to make others believe that I am some crazy love-indulged woman. I clearly am not. I wish for your shinobi to investigate, and if needed, to act on my behalf and to get rid of this loveman. My best regards, Mistress Orojina.[/i][/indent] In a neat, beautiful handwriting underneath the mission scroll was an added comment from Ayame. [indent][i]Team Chunin-1, you are to elect a leader from your own ranks. This can be anyone. You will not have supervision on this mission due to the fact that it's a light weight mission. Please explain and teach as much to Dotorame as you can. - Ayame.[/i][/indent]
