[/center][/cell][cell]Before Seiji could reply, someone burst into the office with all the aplomb of a young lioness. He laced his fingers together and laid them on his desk; he knew exactly who this was.

[b]"Suto-san"[/b], he said without turning his attention towards the tall muscular woman parading into his office, [b]"I am a little busy. Is it important or have you just arrived to embarrass an old man with your arm strength?"[/b]

He could see Ichika bristle on Kuree's arrival, but she did not get up to leave. Her discomfort was plain as day, though she did her best to conceal it. Seiji was quite sharp with noticing the Uchiha woman's behavioral nuances. 

[color=#EFEBA9]"It is important actually. Tomorrow I will be training a new group of Gennin, and I need to borrow their files off the premises, to create little caricatures for my test. and I would like to know what you could tell me about them."[/color] Kuree had said, to which Ichika let slip the slightest of smirks. It was not often that Seiji, or his administration made such a slip-up. Her attention briefly wavered from the Hokage, and towards the woman whom had entered the room; Kuree Suto. 

[b]"If you have not already received their files with the assignment, then that is an oversight I will have to rectify"[/b], Seiji replied, this caused the ANBU agent's attention to snap back to the Hyuuga, like a child with concentration issues. [color=gold]"I shall fetch these documents for you, Lord Hokage. You need not trouble yourself with such trivial matters."[/color] Ichika spouted and Seiji raised a hand.

[b]"This is important to Suto-san, I will handle it"[/b], he said, bringing himself up to his full height, [b]"If you'll excuse me."[/b]

And he walked past Kuree, out the door. Kuree bowed in the Hokage's wake [color=#EFEBA9]"Thank you, Lord Hokage."[/color] Kuree stood in the doorway, staring at Ichika whilst trying to smile; though the aura of awkwardness exuding from the Suna native was not lost on the Uchiha. [color=gold]"Kuree Suto, I believe? I have heard good things concerning your accolades. Your most recent 'snatch and grab' operation was quite impressive I must say."[/color] said Ichika, doing her best to clear the air. Her words were the plain and simple truth, she had seen some of the reports on Kuree's missions and had been awaiting this very opportunity to arise for quite some time. 

[color=gold]"But first I must offer my apologies, where are my manners? My name is Ichika Uchiha. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.[/color] She continued, extending her hand with an open palm. Gesturing for Kuree to shake it. Kuree Grabbed Ichika's hand and gave her a hearty Suto handshake [color=#EFEBA9]"No apologies needed, it is great to formally meet you! I'm not always the best at these formal situations, I'm sure you can tell haha. I have heard tell of your skills too, They call you Ichika of the Black Swamp right?"[/color] Kuree would say, all the while still shaking Ichika's hand. Upon realizing that she hadn't stopped, Kuree would apologize and continue [color=#EFEBA9]"Thank you for your compliment, but I have to give credit to my students; if not for them I don't know if I would have been able to handle all those Shinobi at once."[/color]

Once their hands had left the grasps of the other, Ichika took in the words of her new acquaintance; looking her up and down as she did so, all the while gauging her physical prowess with a mere glance. Her Sharingan was not necessary in determining that the Suto Jounin was incredibly physically gifted. Even more so than Ichika was. [color=gold]"If you're not entirely too occupied at this time and I am not overstepping in suggesting as such; whilst the Lord Hokage procures the documentation you require, perhaps we could make our way to one of the training areas. If such a thing would please you? I revel in the opportunity to hone my skills against other high-tier Shinobi such as yourself."[/color] Came the Uchiha's eloquently spoken query from behind scarlet lips. Batting away a singular bang of hair from her face as she finished speaking. 

Kuree laughed [color=#EFEBA9]"Are you kidding?! I would love to! Training is my career, I always tell my students that the only time you shouldn't be learning is when you're dead."[/color] this jovial response seemed to cause an eyebrow to shoot up on Ichika's face, an expression of curiosity rather than one of concern. 

[color=gold]"Then your wisdom as a tutor far exceeds your years. I myself have yet to take on my own team of students in an official capacity. Although I do greatly desire to, for now, I do my part with the aspiring shinobi amongst the Uchiha."[/color] She replied, with a rare smile beginning to creep upon her face. [color=gold][I]This one interests me greatly, even more so than I had initially believed she would.[/I][/color] Ichika thought to herself, before silently but not discourteously brushing past the Suna Jounin. Whose paled blonde hair glimmered in the natural light of the Hokage's office. 

[color=#EFEBA9]"lead the way"[/color] Kuree did her best to hold in her excitement, but a small noise would unintentionally vibrate inside her mouth, she coughed to try and hide it [color=#EFEBA9]"Sorry..."[/color] Kuree would fix her posture and follow Ichika to the destination of their sparring session. 

Remaining completely silent as the two walked, Ichika began to formulate battle strategems in her head; accounting for as many possible outcomes as she could with all of the knowledge available to her. It did not take the two long, due to their relatively large strides and swift paces for the Jounin to arrive at their destination. The academy exercise field. [color=gold]"If we are to do this, I believe it pertinent that the students of our fine academy be able to spectate. After all, it is not often that they are provided the opportunity to bear witness to the abilities of their superiors, and what they too shall be one day capable of if they set their minds to it. Wouldn't you agree?"[/color] Ichika asked, smiling to herself before turning to face Kuree, the two women now stood in the open ground of the academy exercise area. 

Kuree noded [color=#EFEBA9]"I agree completely, a demonstration like this is sure to motivate students to try harder."[/color] Kuree said as she then jumped from side to side a little and then firmly planting her feet on the ground, the earth beneath her moaning as small rocks crumbled beneath her feet and she takes her fighting pose. [color=#EFEBA9][i]"This will be fun."[/i][/color] Kuree thought to herself. [/cell][/row][/table][right][img][/img][/right]
