[B]Hyuuga Hanami[/B] - [I]Choice[/I]

Inside the Hokage's office quietly stood a Jounin, meticulously studying the files set before her. There was a set of three, with glossed photographs of each potential student carefully plucked up as their respective file was perused through. At least she was given a choice to pick her students, others oft weren't so fortunate.

Tugging slightly at the Kohona Headband which hung about her neck, she listened to the Hokage describe Yuri, and how troublesome she had been. It were almost as if he were hinting not-so-subtly at which one she was supposed to take.

Seemed like she wasn't going to get a choice after all.

Picking up Yuri's photo one last time, she could not help a slight frown. While each of the three prospects possessed potential, this one certainly was the most trouble. Hanami could only hope the labors she was about to endure would bear fruit, but for now it seemed wise that she remain skeptical.

"I will take on the one which you desire." She softly stated, though clearly. Picking up Yuri's file and beginning to read through it a second time. "I'm sure she will become a keen edge for our village in due time."

"Good day, Hokage." The file snapped shut, and crisply found its place at her side whilst the girl deeply bowed towards her superior. "I will see to it that Yuri is successful; in most of her endeavors, if not all."

Turning on heel, she smoothly strode out the doors, and then in blur of movement accompanied by a puff of smoke, she was tearing across Kohona's skyline. Leaping easily from one rooftop to the next in blindingly quick procession.

Veins suddenly pulsed about her eyes, and within her gaze, a whole new world came into focus. One where she could see for many miles, one where she could gaze upon the flow of chakra in others, and most importantly, one where she could easily find Yuri from a distance.

It did not take long, it never did.

Naturally, there was also trouble afoot. There were a trio of critically injured Children and even a badly injured Dog that were crumpled around the girl. And as she closed the distance, she abruptly stopped before a Medic-Nin while en route. Tapping him on the shoulder, there were only a few quick words that needed to be said.

"Follow me please, there are some injuries that need tending to." With such, the Medic pursued her and it wasquickly thereafter that Hanami was the first to arrive, literally seeming to appear out of thin air right in front of her student.

"Good morning," she began. "It seems as if one of the first lessons I will need to teach you is one of restraint." Pale lavender hues then meticulously studied the girl who stood oppoaite of her intensely. "That, and the necessity of modesty. Especially for one of your age."

Blinking for a second, Hanami then smiled sweetly. "My name is Hyuuga Hanami. And I will be your Jounin instructor. I may be only a few years older than you, but with your trust, and with my guidance, you have the chance to hecome a Ninja that Kohona can be proud of."

Glancing over towards the children the medic was tending to, her gaze smoothly resettled upon Yuri. "It is visible you can outpace your classmates. But let me see what you can do. I am your adversary from here on forward, attack me with your fullest ability."
