Squad One: Quest for the Oasis: Placing her palms onto the ground and pushing herself up doing a handstand while giggling with delight. Not only was she placed in the first squad mentioned, she was with Setsu! The odds of being placed on a squad with her only friend had been so slim it was so unlikely, and yet here they were! Megumi arched over making a bridge out of herself and then standing up excitedly hopping and walking out the door. Where this Oasis place was, she had no idea! But that didn't matter right now! They'd figure it out eventually! Besides what was the hurry? There was plenty of daylight left, and even if there wasn't there was always the night as well! Though it would be nice to get started sooner than later! Besides, the jounin mentioned a Hyuuga being in their squad, and supposedly they could see anything from what she'd heard. So guess the other guy could prove himself. Megumi finally left the building seeing her teammates. There was the Hyuuga one, who didn't happen to be the most impressive of individuals. 'So much for awesome Hyuuga...He looks alright though I suppose! Just another friend! Unless he doesn't like me...Hmmm' Her thoughs slightly random and scattered as she walked up to them smiling and giggling lightly trying to contain her excitement. "Hey there Setsu! and um...well I kinda forgot your name already...But it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Megumi!" So maybe she wasn't the best with names, that's not the most important quality for a person though so everything should be fine! Kossetsu shifted his head downwards once when the Hyuga commented on his competence, but otherwise waited patiently for their last teammate - Megumi. When she dashed over with her usual chipperness, he, once again, nodded his head slightly, although a small, undecipherable smile was on his face at the excitement. He guessed it wasn't too often that she talked to nice people. "He's Tetsuo Hyuuga," He began, mostly so that he could remember the name, before he split his gaze from both teammates, "And I'm Kossetsu Kaguya." The introduction was focused mainly on Tetsuo. "He wants us to find the Oasis Training Grounds, so the easiest way would be to ask an older Shinobi. Any objections?" He talked patiently, and at the end, he gave the other two a raised eyebrow each - the only facial movement that he had shown, other than his lips moving for speech. Tetsuo felt kind of annoyed. He looked at Kossetsu and then back at Megumi. They were probably friends from long ago and sighed. 'Friends, huh, I've never known of that kind of reality.' He felt a bit incompetent and left out. He looked at Kossetsu, and then back at Megumi. He slapped himself, trying to refocus on the matter at hand. "Agreed, we should look for an elder. Hoping that they know where the Oasis is, we would get there in half the time." Tetsuo stated with an emotionless look on his face, his thoughts were in disarray. He attempted to brush most of them off, but the other thoughts just remained there. Megumi giggled before and kind of during her reply to Tetsuo's idea. "That sounds like a good idea Tetsu! But um...Where do we find someone that will actually know...Apparently it's some big deal to know where it is and all," With sarcasm in her voice of course. "So where should we start looking?" Megumi didn't really get the best responses from adults...especially not the older ones, so the idea while good, kind of worried her a bit. During the quarrel, an old lady was passing by with a huge burden on her back. She was on crutches, walking in almost a rhythmic pattern. Next to her was a dog about the size of a cup. It seemed harmless enough. Behind her were two men in sunglasses, shifting left and right. However it was obvious that they were following her. Just as Kossetsu was about to reply, his sharp green eyes caught the figure of the old woman - and more specifically, the two men following her. His heart beating in empathy - no elder should have to carry such a burden - Kossetsu coughed quietly into his fist, to get the attention of his teammates, before wordlessly gesturing towards the three figures - four, if you count the dog. "...Excuse me, sirs." He said quietly, walking forward with his hands resting in each-other's sleeves, "I have a favor to ask of you both..." 'Tetsu...Really now we- I have a nickname? Great, just when I didn't want to get all friendly, friendly with each other, Whatever.. Tetsuo noticed Kossetsu's signal. He followed close behind him, hands in his pockets. He noticed the old lady with the dog and signaled Megumi to help her if she could. He stopped behind Kossetsu, guard up, in case things went south. He readied his hands, getting ready to do a hand symbol, for the Byakugan. 'Puppy!' The first thing Megumi even noticed. Not the old lady who would probably scold her, not the two creepy guys behind her, no. She noticed the puppy! Her eyes lit upwith excitement and everything! Then Tetsu had to ruin it...Of course he wanted her to help the old lady...Some gentlemen he was...Megumi quickly hopped over to the old lady and smiled at her hoping she wouldn't be like all the rest of the older people. "Hello ma'am, could I possibly offer my assistance with those bags you're carrying?" She tried to be as sweet and nice as she could be, though it wasn't very easy since all the old people do is yell at her for even being within eyesight... The two men stopped in their tracks. A young boy was asking of a favor. "Sure kid." said one of them not looking at the boy but at where the lady was going. The other shifted his sunglasses and signaled at the other. The other seemed to comply. "What do you want?" He asked kneeling. The other man slipped passed Kossetsu, and started to chase after the lady, but stopped to see a Hyuuga getting ready to do the Byakugon "I wouldn't advise that if I were yo-" A loud howl came distracting the man. It was the dog. The dog turned to see its prey running at it and its master. With a howl, the dog grew to the size of a building. It growled, and slashed at Megumi with its giant paws. The old lady didn't seem to notice what was going on but strode on step by step, click by click. The man that was near Tetsuo, in a scurry, rushed to the scene. 'Well...this is odd.' Kossetsu's eyes narrowed as he watched the small dog grow into a house-sized monster, swiping at Megumi with one of its large paws. Resisting the urge to foolishly rush into the battle without any prior information, the newly-made Genin scowled, his distrust of the sunglass-wearing men growing. Taking a few steps back from the kneeling man, he spoke up briskly. "What is that?" His sleeves hid the growing bone bullets that were pushing out of all ten of his finger-tips. Tetsuo looked at the guy in the sunglasses. "I won't use it. That is if I don't need t-" Tetsuo stopped speaking midway when the dog grew in size. It grew to the size of a building. He activated his Byakugan, and looked at the Dog. He currently did not care about the sunglasses man. He then thought of something. 'Wait....The Inuzuka....Nahh, that can't be right...' Tetsuo cleared his mind for a bit and began to make his way to the old lady, he got his hand symbols ready. He completly forgot about Megumi. He was practically emotionless currently. When she heard the little puppy make a noise Megumi looked down out of curiousity. Her head quickly went from looking down, to looking up. She blinked a couple of times wondering what was going on, then the thing tried to cut her! She leaped underneath it faceplanting more or less as she slid a little. 'Tetsu can help the stupid old lady next time! Why does everyone that's old hate me!? If this giant ass, stupid, piece of crap, mongrol doesn't kill me, I'm going to kick Tetsu's ass!' The dog looked around in confusion. The danger was gone. It trampled around looking. The man that was with Kossetsu turned to what he was talking about. Seeing the Akita out of control worried him. "Damn!" He said pushing Kossetsu out of the way, as he made his way to the scene. The dog was lost in a bit of confusion. As Tetsuo saw with his byakugon, the dog's energy was rising by the second, certainly greater than theirs combined. The dog was angry and was about to swipe at a village stand, when one of the man took the hit. The Akita dropped the man's sunglasses revealing the red glowing eyes of the man. His eyes caught the eyes of Megumi who was hiding underneath the beast.

The man glared at the beast, his face full of cuts. The other man who still had his sunglass on jumped up to the air. Then he formed a few hand signal and put his hand over his mouth: "LINA-SAMA" he yelled. The sound was amplified ten folds, the sound was so strong that it formed a gale, and everyone had to cover their ears. The old lady stopped to turn around. "eh?" She said in response. After seeing the disaster happening the old lady quickly jumped quite a few feet in the air to smack the Akita on the head "Bad! Kyuki! Bad!" The dog wince, and wined. Immediately it started to shrink. It turned to his normal form. The old lady looked around. She saw the destruction that had happened. "Oh, I'm sorry." She said, and with a few and signals fixed the broken pvement. The two men immediately appeared next to her. They knelt. "Are you okay mam?" "Why did Kyuki, turn so aggressive?" She asked. The man with the red eye picked up his broken pair of sunglasses and put it back on his face he pointed at the trio "There were suspicious looking individuals that approached us." "Oh?" the old lady inquired peeking over the two men that were knelt down. "They don't seem so hostile?" She started to walk towards them with her staff click-clacking on the ground. She approached Megumi "My, little girl, are you hurt. I'm sorry about Kyuki, he's just very on guard, as we are not from here." She reached out her hand to Megumi's face which instantly healed her wounds. She rubbed her chin and scanned the three children "A group of a young trio? It must be a group of Genins? That's how they do it around here in this um.. country. The last time I remeber hehe. Now how can I help you guys?" ...Setsu wanted to leave. He had his fair share of insane moments, which also included his first interaction with the women's side of the hotsprings. But...this. He wasn't expecting it, and his calm peacefulness that was generally shrouding over his face was disappearing. "Er," He began to trail off, but abruptly focused himself. He wouldn't stutter. He had enough of that back at the clan... "I..We were wondering if you knew of the...Oasis Training Ground?" The bone-bullets that were growing on his fingers abruptly began to recede back into his finger-tips, but Setsu didn't let his guard down. Golden-green eyes regarded the old woman with a calm indifference, hiding his weariness. "Ah~ the pond where the moon dips its touch! It hasn't always been like the way it is right now!" she pointed her old crooked finger to the west. "See the forest, head straight in the path until you see the moon touch the mountains, there, a door will open to the brightest of lights! Or so they say!" She said laughing. "Be careful young ones! Time of trouble are ahead!" With that she strode off. The shinobi with the broken glasses gave them a good glare before turning around to escourt the lady. They were heading towards the Hokage.

Megumi Sugimoto Finally the day was here! The day where she proved everyone wrong! She had become a ninja, she would further herself and be successful in the trials to come! Today a genin, and soon she make chuunin, and then jonin! She'd show them all! She already made a couple of friends, well really one, but she liked to count the butterflies and birds that would spend time with her along with her only real friend. Megumi finished fixing her hair and closed her eyes giggling out of happiness. Megumi slid off the chair infront of her mirror and grabbed a peach on her way out the door. She'd have grabbed more but that's all she had in her tiny apartment to eat so that would have to do. Besides that she just liked peaches! As she walked along people looked at her in disbelief. Not everyone though, mostly just the adults that were a bit older. As usual Megumi wasn't wearing any shoes, but that's not what bothered the adults. No. Today it was the protector she wore. The fact that Megumi had become a ninja finally irritated them, and some might've even complained about where she was wearing the protector. She hadn't know what to do with it so she'd modified it to be worn on her ankle. Naturally though, the looks, the comments, all of it. She didn't care! She was proud! She wondered who she'd be put on a team with though. She only knew one person...One person in the whole village who had really tried to be her friend. Sure a lot were neutral, but someone trying to be her friend was a huge deal to her. She finally reached the academy though. This would be the first time she'd ever been there. Megumi just stood there for a moment staring at the building. She took a deep breath, exhaled, giggled happily, and finally went in. Upon entering the room she hadn't known what to expect, and it was slightly surprising. Most people were just waiting, nothing terribly interesting really happening, but then she saw Setsu, and her eyes brightened momentarily, though someone was already there and also she didn't want him getting questioned on why some random person they'd probably never seen before went to him. Instead she walked over in front of the desks and sat infront of them on the floor just lightly giggling happily to herself too excited to contain it fully. Kiyomi Nishihara Slowly opening her eyes to the world Kiyomi sat up slowly. It was finally here. The day she'd be assigned a squad like her father, mother, and brother. She didn't have to worry about any of them anymore though after all. Her father had retired after an injury, and other than that her brother and mother were both dead. She slipped out of the bed and got ready. She hated the normal clothing of ninja, and the village for that matter. Throwing on some pants and socks, then topping it off with a t-shirt that barely hid her tattoos. Then shook her head throwing it off again grabbing a black tank top and a white jacket to go over it that she left undone. When she got to the kitchen her father was there making breakfast for the two of them. When he saw her he let a small smile slip and shook his head. "You know you're the only one who dresses like that in the entire village dear...Don't you have an issue sticking out like that all the time?" Her father blatantly threw out there jokingly. "Dad, it doesn't matter what they think. For one I prefer to be unique, and secondly most of them are too weak for me to care what their opinions are..." The two smiled and sat down an ate their breakfast. Afterwards Kiyomi had a sudden revelation and ran up to her room and grabbed her protector and took off her jacket. She hadn't figured out what to do with the damned thing yet but it finally came to her! She quickly grabbed her sewing kit and sewed the damn thing to the back of her jacket. "There! Now I don't have to wear the stupid thing like Jewelry!" Kiyomi quickly threw it back on and ran to the front door putting her combat shoes on. Not quite boots, and most definitely not those sandals that every other ninja wears, just a mix between a combat boot and a shoe! She then walked to the school entering the class room with literally a minute to spare. Walking to the back of the room and leaning on a wall waiting for her team to be decided. 'Just don't give me any dead weight...' The sole thought passed through her mind as the minute began to pass.
