[hr]

Hageshī would find it difficult to get out of bed, as it usual always was.  Ever since the attakc on Kumogakure, his training had become something critical to him.  Every day there was some kind of work out or exercise he was doing, trying to tone his muscles more.  It was a pretty known thing that Hageshī was someone who took almost every situation seriously, going as far as to remain silent to jokes.  The Jonin was a dreaded teacher to have in the eyes of most Chūnin, especially those who preferred a more laid back approach to things.  They knew exactly what he would do the minute they were under his tutelage; training, training, and would you look at that, more training.  That's not to say that the man didn't believe in rest and breaks.  Anyways, his muscles were sore from the the training he had done yesterday, evident by the groans he had when he picked himself up from his bed.

Hageshī always hated the voice of Otsumi, particularly because she seemed to think she was the boss just because she was his mothers lap dog.  Gritting his teeth, he slipped on his usual gear; a standard issue Kumogakure flak jacket over some minor armor, with a bit of a touch up for his own preference.  The armor wasn't much for a regular attack, but it did help with minor things like shuriken or kunai, even softening some blows from Taijutsu users.  Still, it was kind of useless, but it did bring out his skin color, so at least there was that.  The upper part of the armor actually made a large collar, covering the lower part of his face slightly.  Tying the village headband onto his waist, Hageshī left the house, grumbling to himself.

It was almost always the same routine for Hageshī.  Get up, head out to the Kage's office, get adored by villagers, get an assignment, complete the assignment, train harder, eat, go to sleep.  It wasn't so much mundane as it was boring, but it suited Hageshī just fine.  As long as he did some kind of work that benefited the village, he was contempt with it.  As the rest of the Jonin arrived, he examined them closely.  Minaru and Sutemasu, two other very well-known Jonin.  Sutemasu was a bit of a friendly rival to Hageshī, albeit he was stronger than her physically.  He enjoyed her company at times, even if she did get on his nerves every now and again.  His real issue was with Minaru, the womanizer.  He always seemed to find a way to royally piss Hageshī off.  At the comment of his mother, Hageshī grabbed his arm and prepared to punch the cocky bastard.  [color=a36209]"You little!  Agh!  I swear to whatever deity that listens that I will beat your ass one day!"[/color]  He roared at the Jonin as he ran off.

Hageshī grunted a bit as he read his note, approaching the places he was meant to go to in a rather slow pace.  Knocking on the door of one of his students.  He looked down and noticed a cat-like runt.  [color=a36209]"Senkensha Toraburu, otherwise known as the trouble maker of Kumogakure.  Great that I got you...just try and keep your mouth clean and I won't have to spray you with water."[/color]  With that, he dragged the smaller figure with him outside the door...albeit with some scratch marks on his forearm.  The next student was a young lady by the name of Nekoyama Midori.  Why did he get all the cat-people?  Was his mom just laughing at him in her office all day for the ridiculous students she gave him?  Well, it didn't matter, he was already there at Midori's, so he might as well just not complain.  With a single loud knock, he waited for her to answer.  As she opened the door, he smiled down at her, crossing his arms as a small cat-like figure stood at his legs, obviously aggravated with the turn of events.  [color=a36209]"Nekoyama Midori.  I've heard of your Medical skills and strength.  I'll be your sensei starting today.  We start now, come along."[/color]  Without any notice, he dragged Toraburu with him as Midori followed close behind.

The next students intrigued Hageshī greatly; a sojutsu expert and boy who used a seal rather than hand signs for his attacks.  Knocking on the door of yet again another student, he found an older gentleman.  [color=a36209]"Excuse me, sir, I'm here to take Hizo Saborama as my student.[/color]"  The older figure in the wheelchair smiled and called out to his son.  The boy was quite fast, strangely enough, and Hageshī raised a brow at him.  [color=a36209]"Hm...you don't look like much, but it's not always brawn that wins the fight.  I'm your new sensei, Saborama.  Let's go."[/color]  After finally approaching the final house, Hageshī was already getting bored of just walking around constantly.  After knocking on the door of Yayoi Ikaruga's house, he didn't even introduce himself aside from the words [color=a36209]"I'm your teacher.  We're going."[/color]  Without another word, he dragged the young man.  Finally, he had assembled his team, and began to move out to the gate of the village where Sutemasu told the trio to meet up at with their new team.

He scratched his head as they approached, thinking to himself about his students.  Two crazy cat people, one boy who uses seals, and a sojutsu user.  The potential for a good team was there, but he found it somewhat difficult to believe, especially with a certain someones attitude that could cause tension within the group.  Nonetheless, he was ready to take this students under his tutelage, no matter how frustrating it would get.  Approaching the group, he waved slightly to Sutemasu and Minaru.  [color=a36209]"Yo."[/color]  With that, he placed his hands in his pockets and inspected his students as they waited.

[center][h2][i][b][color=ed1c24]Uchiha Kota[/color][/b][/i][/h2][/center]

Kota was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of Sutemasu.  He knew that he'd be getting an assignment, but he didn't except it to come so soon.  Still, he was quite happy to finally get out of the house.  [color=ed1c24]"Reina-chan, I'm heading out now with my sensei!  You have fun while I'm gone and try not to get into any trouble!"[/color]  He called out, completing the look the of his outfit as they walked and conversed.  With his ponytail done, his bandanna tied, and his sword slung over his back, he was ready for the day.  Everything was quite well, until he approached Kasumi's house.  They were neighbors a long time ago...and friends.  Very, very 'close friends'.  To see her again was quite an awkward situation for Kota, even if he was always happy to greet a friend.  As they walked to the next students house, he kept his eyes on her every now and again, keeping a slight distance from her.

The problem wasn't that they were no longer friends or anything of the such, but that they had not seen each other for years.  It was strange to see her again, especially because it was best described as seeing a 'stranger' that you knew for years.  As they picked up their final team member, they had made their way to the gate, where they introduced themselves.  [color=ed1c24]"I'm Kota.  Uchiha Kota.  I'm seventeen, but my birthday is in about a month now.  I use Kenjutsu and my Releases are Fire and Lightning.  I'm actually pretty bad at Taijutsu, but I hope I can improve on that.[/color]"  He laughed a little uneasily at the end of his sentence, since it was pretty embarrassing that he wasn't very skilled at it, but it was his fault that he was bad to begin with, training with just his sword for such a long time.

With the introductions over and the groups coming together once more, Kota decided to get closer to Kasumi, crossing his arms as he slightly turned away from her.  With a cough, he sparked a small conversation.  [color=ed1c24]"Hey, Kasumi-chan.  You've...changed."[/color]  Always an awkward situation today, isn't it?
