Akihiko looked at Fukusho before sighing and shaking his head, "Only if you got a soft head and as it looks like you don't have a soft head, big guy." Akihiko said before turning to Mikone who had a more valid question. "As I said Mikone I can't teach a squad of growing genin if I don't got their skills in check. Much less you can't train ninjutsu if you don't know how to use hand signs." Akihiko said as he made the signs for the snake and then the dog and then the bear to emphasize his words. "A painter can't paint properly without knowing what colors he's using. Maybe he'll get lucky and make something worthwhile or maybe it will be garbage. Only the painter knows. I'm not a painter I'm a teacher I don't get the luxury of taking my time if I screw up I screw all of you up. I've read your profiles from class but that's all. I make it a priority to see with my own eyes how good the group is at certain things." Akihiko smiled at the last question though and shook his head, "I'll make you a deal Mikone, If you pass my tests and actually impress me I'll tell you. If not then you'll have to earn that answer later. Why I chose this squad isn't a secret but think of it as something to look forward to for showing me you can handle my tests."
