Unique. A shinobi with a great deal of potential, even if he did seem to be completely out of it. They'd worked together only on rare occasions in the academy, but Kurin found that you could sniff out potential based on a few things. One of which was whether or not the person in question was flexible. Rigid shinobi tended to get weeded out, and while Kurin had to admit he could be overly rigid, he was always working on helping others reach their own skill ceiling, and break it. He didn't need that with Shizuka, and he was dragged along rather easily. He stumbled, catching the drift of wind that sailed forth when Shizuka moved. Ducking, weaving, and even leaping over another shinobi who swore at the duo. Kurin wasn't as athletic as his 'partner' which meant he lagged behind the entire time. Even barreling through two other iwa shinobi arguing over who was team leader. He skidded to a stop, eyes wide as they stopped in front of a Kiku. Of course! Why hadn't he thought of it!? Mind you, he doubted Shizuka thought of it beyond 'pretty girl' and that was fine with him. After all, he knew Kiku, and he knew she was just what they needed. [color=39b54a]"Protect the Tower, C Rank Mission."[/color] Kurin muttered softly, directed at Kiku. That's where he knew her from. A success as far as anybody could be concerned. [color=39b54a]"It's good to hear you're interested."[/color] Kurin said, hands folded over his chest as he gave out a small smile. The smallest smile possible, and he doubted she even knew. [color=39b54a]"But, we shouldn't be too worried about a fourth. I scouted him out earlier, as an opponent. But since we're relying on teamwork, he'll be a good asset."[/color] Kurin shrugged, looking across the distant sea of shinobi. Reaching a hand out, wood splintered from his fingers. Tendrils reaching out, and suddenly, from the crowd he plucked their fourth member. A very specific ninja called... [color=39b54a]"Nice to see you, Jaakuna Hinoko! You're our fourth member."

Bumu was rather quick as he sprinted through the crowds. Most already in their own teams of themselves and their old friends. Good start for most. But Bumu was instead trying for a better spread of skills. Her hands reached out, and grabbed Koma from behind. [color=9e0b0f]"HA! You're our fourth!"[/color] He grinned from ear to ear. Probably startling the iwa ninja while doing so. [color=9e0b0f]"See Kaba, I told you I'd find a fourth!"[/color] She stuck out her tongue, adding a little extra insult to injury. Since their third was still missing in action. But, Bumu was sure they'd find him. That fatty stuck out like a sour thumb!
