[b][color=orange]“Thank you, Lumika.  Were I an officer or serving in another official capacity, your salute would be very appreciated. However since our relationship is one of Jounin to Genin, the gesture is not necessary.”[/color][/b] She said, giving Lumika a warm smile. Then she turned her attention to Kimi.

[b][color=red]“Geeeez. And we just met.”[/color] [/b]Kimi said nonchalantly. The black haired girl gestured to Rina. [b][color=red]“Seeing as she’s from my clan, I’m sure she can handle herself just fine, and I don’t mind a good fight. Her fireball jutsu is impressive and I’m sure if we got separated, she can handle on her own.”[/color] [/b]Kimi said with a nod but then looked a bit serious. [b][color=red]“However, she looks stressed and that isn’t good. She also looks like she trains a lot but needs some time to unwind a bit. All that training can strain a girl, ya know. Also the whole lone Wolf thing ain’t gonna cut it since we’re gonna start out as a team. 'Sides, we need to stick together. We’re still genin after all.”[/color][/b]

Kimi then pointed her thumb at Lumika. [b][color=red]“We just met but I like her. She looks to be a go getter and will help us out in a jam. Plus she looks determined to make sure we don’t die. However...”[/color][/b] Kimi looked at a bit serious again. [b][color=red]“We don’t need  her rushing in at things. That kind of thing could get her or the whole team killed. Other than that, she’s fine.”[/color] [/b]Kimi said with a shrug.

Eri suppressed a laugh after hearing Rina and Kimi side by side. After 20 years, it seemed like the Uchiha hadn’t changed a bit. As for their Suna exchange, Eri could see the girl would have some difficulties standing up to the Uchiha’s characteristic demeanor. Lumika responded well to authority, but she’d need more than that to keep from being passed over. 

In Eri’s experience, the Uchiha ninja were powerful, superior, and certain of themselves, whether their opinion was good or ill. It seemed the same could be said of their children. Rina was the most self-assured and ready to be leader in a given situation, but her strength in herself came with a disregard for others. While Kimi’s relaxed nature showed in the way of a little sister bucking her family’s reputation, her assessment sounded no less superior, though perhaps a bit more self-protective.  Kimi would have gladly given leadership to Rina, but only because she didn’t want to take that responsibility herself yet. Perhaps she didn’t want to be another high-achieving prize for the Uchiha name. 

Whatever the case, these two clan-siblings would have to learn to work together, and Lumika would have to show that she was a force to be reckoned with.

[b][color=orange]“Rina and Kimi! You two are to fight until one of you has given up or cannot continue. Lumika, you are to keep your teammates from hurting each other. Stay within the bounds of this training field and do not go into the forest. Your test will end when I have seen everything that I need to. Is that understood?”[/color][/b]

She gave her genin an intense look. If they had questions, she did not wait for them to ask before stepping back and declaring [b][color=orange]“Start!”[/color][/b] with a sweep of her arm.
