He'd practiced his calligraphy -[i] as always, really[/i]. He had done a few warm up routines - [i]as always, really[/i]. But one thing he couldn't get over, was the fact that his new appartment was so much more empty than his old house, where he lived with his parents. Ever since he moved out, he found himself strapped for cash. His father, who was obviously a wealthy man, had offered to help him out but in the last two years, Yamato had gotten more prideful, a sort of adult pride. So he had declined, saying he'll furnish his own appartment with the money he earned as a jonin. Even against his father, Yamato was still prideful. And over the last two years, Reijo had become more tolerant of that, since it was something that came with the ages. Yamato no longer needed guidance at every turn, he was old enough to think for himself, [i]as long as that thought remained within the sphere of Minamoru ideals.[/i] There was little more than a dresser, a bed, a table with two chairs, and a kitchen area in the appartment. Well, ofcourse a shower, toilet and sink, but those were present almost everywhere. But it was enough for now. It was quiet, and Yamato could get used to that.. a difference from his parents' house, where Rei was always watching TV or calling her friends. With a sigh, he sat straight up again, coming up from doing a few pushups to get his morning started. He crossed his legs as he sat on the ground, looking at the wall for a brief moment and scratching behind his head, ultimately getting up and pulling his a-shirt over his head and throwing it on the bed. It was time to head out and do some groceries. After approximately 30 minutes - [i]it takes a long time to dress in a battle armor like he has[/i] - he walked outside of his appartment and closed and locked the door behind him. That was another thing he liked, Aoi was no longer breaching and entering his house every day now. He headed for the local store, but was rudely interrupted when a masked man suddenly appeared in front of him. Yamato remained largely unphased, as he got used to these random ANBU appearances rather quickly when he became a jonin. They seemed to be everywhere, something he didn't notice before. [color=9e0039][b]“Tsk... yes, Fox-face, what do you want from me this time.”[/b][/color] he said to the ANBU, who had a fox faced mask. The quick nickname caught the ANBU off guard but, he wouldn't be an ANBU if he didn't have quick wits. [b]“Your presence is requested at the Hokage's office.”[/b] Yamato shook his head and looked at the plastic bag in his hand. He then threw the plastic bag at the ANBU, before jumping in the direction of the Hokage's office. [color=9e0039][b]“Sure thing, you go do some groceries for me. I want to eat pasta tonight, so get everything for that. Baka.”[/b][/color] It was a bit weird that he got mad at the ANBU for doing his job, but then again the Hokage wasn't here to be cussed at.. the ANBU would serve as a good replacement. Upon arrival he would head inside, directly to the man's office itself. Inside, he noticed the Hokage, but also Sentou and Shin. What are those two dweebs doing here.. [color=9e0039][b]“This better not be the introduction of a meeting where the Hokage decides to make me work with you two..”[/b][/color] he said to them, immediately showing that adulthood didn't pull him out of the rudeness he had. His words were a bit calmer however, and he was no longer balling up his fists everytime he felt angry. He walked up to a corner and just leaned against it, crossing his arms, and leaning his head against the wall. What did the baka-hokage have to say this time.. After the meeting was concluded, Yamato simply walked outside and decided to wait in front of the Hokages' office. It'd be a big mess if they all wanted to meet their team right in the office, so he figured the best place was to meet right outside. Sentou, Jaakuna, and some newbie called Yuna.. what a shit team. Guess that's why the Hokage gave him the team - so Yamato could carry the load on his own. [hr] [center][h2][color=f6989d]Reihana Minamoru, “Little Master”[/color][/h2] [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/2hs21ll.png[/IMG] [color=f6989d][b]“For the Minamoru, everything.”[/b][/color][/center] [hr] As luck would have it for Rei, she was summoned on this day too. Without knowing it, she'd be in the same squadron as Yamato, her brother. She quickly walked over to her home, as she had to change into her combat ready outfit. On the way she saw some familiar, friendly faces, but sadly didn't have the time to stop and have a chat. Upon arrival at home she changed into her [url=http://i61.tinypic.com/egacdf.png]combat uniform[/url], consisting of a sports type, black crop top, her blue vest, and a black set of leggings with fashionable holes in them. An expensive outfit, considering the brands on them. But Rei didn't worry about that too much. When she was all done she finished up by grabbing her forehead protector and putting it on, tying it under her hair at the back. It kind of resembled Sakura Haruno's hairdo at her younger years, but Rei wouldn't know that. She finally headed out after about an hour of dressing up, because ofcourse makeup had to be applied too. It took her 30 minutes more to finally arrive, but luckily the Hokage seemed to have waited for everyone to arrive and she was, in fact, not the last one there. After the introductions to the mission, which didn't give much info at all in fact, she heard she was in a team with Daiki, and their team was going to be working with Yamato. That was kind of exciting! However she knew that Daiki and Yamato didn't really get along.. she'd have to try her best to make sure things worked out alright. As soon as the mission briefings were over she would walk to Daiki and wave at him, before speaking up. [color=f6989d][b]“Hii, Daiki-senpai! How are you today? Are you excited about the mission?”[/b][/color] [hr] [center][h2][color=415E79]Saburo Uchiha, “Kimyōna”[/color][/h2] [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/5djhpg.jpg[/IMG] [color=415E79][b]“I hope the sage of the six paths has blessed your day.”[/b][/color][/center] [hr] Saburo had woken a bit later than usual, wanting to sleep in a bit after yesterdays meeting with some old friends of the 11th corps in a local restaurant that was supposedly was Naruto's favorite. Ichiraku ramen, it was called.. it was an interesting place. But he got a bit of a headache due to the sake they drank, since Saburo was sort of a lightweight. He just hoped that he didn't cause any ruckus.. [color=415E79][b]“I.. can't complain.. it's my own fault..”[/b][/color] he said as he slowly leaned up in bed and rubbed his forehead. Ugh, it hurt like a kunai had been stabbed into his head. Though that was probably a bit more lethal. Actually, it wasn't probably.. it simply was. He got up slowly and then did a few jumps to wake himself up. After that he walked into his bathroom, where he put the plug in the sink and filled it up. After that was fully filled up he simply grabbed the sinks edges, and pushed his head into the water completely. He went in, still sleepy, but came out fully awakened. [color=415E79][b]“Water is such a useful tool.”[/b][/color] he said while grabbing a towel and rubbing his hair dry. Water was useful. It was also annoying when you got wet. After he did his morning routine, such as having breakfast and freshly made orange juice, he walked outside to figure out what to do today. He had no mission planned for this day and expected to have a day off, atleast, until an ANBU showed up. His presence was long known before the ANBU even arrived, showcasing Saburo's expert knowledge on these matters that he learned in the 11th corps. He was told to go to the Hokages' office and so he did. He walked in, got the briefing, and linked up with Tsukiko right after that. [color=415E79][b]“Good morning Tsukiko-sama, I hope the Sage of the Six Paths has blessed your day today, and if he hasn't then I hope he will do so later in the course of the day! I hope we will end this mission succesfully although I don't doubt for a moment you could handle a mission like this on your own, as you are quite skilled!”[/b][/color] he said with extase, trying to ignore the banging headache he had at this point. He tried to recall the facts that he knew about Tsukiko, since he had been spying on her regularily when he was still in the 11th corps. After all, maybe the Hokage liked Tsukiko, she was still a wild child when she first arrived, and was easy to spy on at that point in time. Now, not so much anymore. But if he recalled correctly Tsukiko was a bit ego-centered, and probably liked gifts and compliments because of that. Saburo's hand went behind his back and he then pulled out a small box of chocolates. It was a bit weird for a chunin to give gifts to a jonin for no reason, but Saburo was weird. The fact that it was even more weird as he was a young, 18 year old boy, and she was an... older woman.. that went by him completely. [color=415E79][b]“Please accept these chocolates from me, as a gift! I hope we can work together well in this mission and according to the book I am reading, [i]'Social Values in a Shinobi World'[/i], chocolates are a great present from men to women! Enjoy!”[/b][/color]
