Long time no see Konoha. Well, not really see. See, the real Jaakuna was dealing with his issues, but on the flip side there was his clones. This one in particular will be called Jaakuna, simply because why not. A simple disguise, a fox mask, somewhat formal arrangements in clothing, and a beard. Real life Jaakuna never grew a beard, so the clone transformed one on. He didn't even look like the sage at first glance, and by now those who really knew him where either A) dead, or B) unlikely to suspect he was a live. So began Operation: Grey Fox.

The clone didn't find it too hard to find the gathering point. First off because it was always obvious, and secondly, or maybe even thirdly, it was at the best place to view the challenges. The clone approached the door guard, all smiles and nodding. "Hello there." He said, adding a little wave for emphasis. The odd quirks he just couldn't shake. 
"Do I know you?" The guard asked, adjusting his headband. 
[color=ed1c24]"Oh, I'm Tatsu Aka. Son of the honorable Jaakuna Aka."[/color] He lied. Using his own son as a disguise, how low. But, he doubted Tatsu was well known appearance-wise, as that son had given up on the ninja life long before Jaakuna met his death. Probably a shop keeper.
"Ah, of course, Mr. Aka!" the guard smiled. "I see you grew a beard. I heard you and your mother where away due to some disturbance at your father's grave."
[color=ed1c24]"Oh, nothing serious. Turns out it was just a lightning storm."[/color] Jaakuna laughed, keeping up his lie. [color=ed1c24]"But, I was hoping to view the games with the Hokage. He and my father got along rather well at one point, and I feel he'd be put at ease knowing the incident at the gravesite was nothing to worry about."[/color]
"Of course, I'll let him know, but he's giving the speech right now." The guard smiled and nodded, before opening the door wide. Jaakuna gave him a bow, and stepped into the room. Plopping down onto one of the elaborate seats with a sigh. 

And then he paused, realizing that he wasn't alone. His gaze drifted to his right, looking over to that strange lady. She looked rather lovely, remind him almost distinctly of his fourth wife. But, he knew from a glance who she was. A kaguya. The forehead marks alone where a dead give away to shinobi who had fought in the last war. 
[color=ed1c24]"Ah, hello there."[/color] He smiled, bowing a little more than usual. "See, it's not the wine you want, but the fruit." He said, gesturing to the table before them. This gesture specifically resting on a bowl of strawberries. Plucking one from the bowl, he tossed it right into his mouth. He paused to chew, juices filling his mouth, and then swallowed it down. Leafy stem and all. [color=ed1c24]"Hmmm, better than I remember."[/color]

BOOM! Glassy shards zipped over Bumu's head as she ducked, feeling it brush her hair before vanishing. Normally the fox would run as soon as anybody showed hostility, but as he was about to jump away, running from Kaba, she slipped on a puddle, and hit the ground. Having to listen to the hokage's speech from the floor as he tried to wipe out his clothing. Eesh, what boozo spilled beer onto the ground!? Wrinkling his snout, he stood up, just in time for his near first kill of the day to catch up. Only to be immediatly roped into being on Kaba's team. If not for the fact that she had almost gotten him killed, she'd have protested more. 

[color=9e0b0f]"No lightning."[/color] Bumu said, hands on his hips. [color=9e0b0f]"You want red chunky sauce? That's how you get pasta sauce. I'm an explosive expert, and lightning sets off my bombs like you would not believe."[/color] Bumu explained, never meeting Kaba's eyes. Since Bumu seemed to always be squinting. [color=9e0b0f]"And... I may or may not know a third for our team. I just hope they ate breakfast."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Alright, so... Shizuka..."[/color] Kurin was mostly all frowns. He'd pretty much ditched the red necks and their obsession with Hime, since he had over all things an obligation to find the best team to work with. Not because he aimed to win, but because Kurin tended to play defensively, and needed a strong offense that could work around his techniques. And he knew who Shizuka was as a person, and the Iwa team tended to not inspire that much confidence.

Kurin stood in front of Shizuka, having made his way over to him as soon as team shuffling had begun. [color=39b54a]"You and I should form a team. With my wood techniques, and your wind techniques, we'll be able to control the enviorment in a way that'll make the upcoming challenge an easy win."[/color] Kurin kept it simple, mostly because he knew Shizuka liked it easy, and like a spring breeze was easily distracted. [color=39b54a]"So, what do you say? Team? We'll easily find a third and fourth.[/color]
