Jounin-sensei of Konohagakure Team 8.
Aiko took another sip of her tea as she observed the situation in front of her. The woman had noticed that Koike was still the same. Wondering how the newest addition to the team would react, Aiko gained her answer soon enough. But instead of telling Yukara that his name was Koike, she already stood up and shook his hand, telling him that it was rude to not introduce himself properly. The lips of Aiko slowly started to curl down, a bit. Unlike Yukara, she was more than aware why Koike acted like that. The pain that had been inflicted when she had first found out about her student's choice on what kind of path he would go slowly drifted up. It wouldn't only be shown on the surface.
''His name is Koike Hon, my best student. Longest member of Team 8, being there when the team was assembled for the first time.'' Aiko friendly informed Yukara. The woman already knew that Koike wouldn't suddenly start to show any other behavior because he was called rude. Even while Yukara wouldn't understand it fully, as there was whole story behind why Koike acted like that, it wasn't the time or the place to start about that. Emptying her mug, Aiko stood up from her seat. ''But we're going to do some training. Come. no need to waste any day light!'' Placing some money down the table for the bill, she would lead her genins to the door. Once from there, she would head to the training fields, going as a typical shinobi. Over the rooftops in a good pace.
