"Irihi....is he in the Academy?"Rosuto said casually he looked at her with an also casual face as if the talk of the masters ,and the attack on the supporters had never happened.In fact he spoke to her as if she and him had seen each other multiple times before.He then turned to his care taker Anzu as he added on to what his teammate had said.Rosuto replied back with "That's more than what I can say for you Anzu" he said with a snicker.
He then returned his attention to the Hyuuga lady ,and walked beside her he didn't really listen in on what Anzu said next but he heard it either way ,and for once Anzu was right it was his first time in the clan library. He wondered what exactly was so special about it he knew there was no roof but was that it?

Cp: 1887/1890
Nyame smiled gently, shaking her pretty head. "No. Irihi-kun is slightly older than you, Rosuto-kun. Though...it is rather unfortunate we...made him grow up faster than necessary." Again speaking in formal puns, Rosuto will learn later exactly what she had meant by 'grow up faster than necessary'. Behind her, some of the Hyuuga troope muttered darkly. Rosuto would be able to catch angry mumblings of 'filthy halfblood'...'if it wasn't for Nyame-sama'...
The Hyuuga elder paused and spun around, Byakugan flared. The pressure from her angry gaze was crushing...daring them to continue with the slighting words... The troope that followed her fell silent. Rosuto and Anzu would be glad that her furious gaze wasn't levied upon them...though the heavy pressure in the air was felt by all. In the next moment, all of the accompanying Hyuugas bowed apologetically...uniformly. The veins of the Byakugan that beat around her eyes faded. But fury still burned within her pale eyes. "I had said...not to speak that way in my presence, did I not...?"
None of the Hyuugas accompanying her dared lift their heads.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 153
Poof. Anzu had turned into a chibi version of himself, tiny fists swung in Rosuto's direction. "I do NOT pamper him!" He pouted, acting like a petulant child. Nyame blinked in surprise, anger vanishing...replaced by a rather disturbed look. She looked at Anzu as if he was an alien from outer space. For a long moment she hesitated before walking over and bopping Anzu on the head.
Poof. The Senju turned back normal (expression: @.@). "Don't do that..." She grimaced slightly, remembering how her clan leader's sensei...the Senju head of family...always henged into chibi version whenever he's flustered, upset, angry...or extremely happy. At this rate, one would wonder if this was a Senju hobby or something... Though strictly speaking, only the head of family and clan heir seemed to have an affinity for this.
In truth, Anzu only did that ridiculous henge...to lighten up the lingering dark mood. He gave a sideglance to Rosuto, clearing meaning 'I'll tell you later...' Within nearly no time at all, they have arrived in the halls of the Senju clan's grand library.
"See, Nyame-hime, isn't it awesome! We were going to order boa constrictors too...but the supply didn't arrive... (expression: ;_; )" A 'peace' sign.
If the sounds of patience cracking could be heard, then Nyame's had just fragmented...again... Some would probably wonder by now if Anzu does that on purpose.
An outer view of things: the so called library looked like a scene torn from the great Amazon rainforest. You name it: tree giants, great roots forming knots all around...even gigantic mushrooms grew on some of the greater trees. A 3 layered canopy of green. There was no roof: it was open sky and the smell of fresh dew lingered. Overhead, it appears the Senju clan have obtained some species of tropical birds: parrots with grand plumage mostly...and even some species of monkeys.
As a monkey tugged at her (outer) kimono sleeve...Nyame swallowed the temptation to kick it. "..." The spike in her chakra, so strong that even Rosuto would be able to feel...betrayed the calm, empty expression on her face. In fact, the chakra spike screamed her true feelings: 'you...call THIS...a library?!' at the Senju elder. "...a forest..." Her quiet, dangerous voice made Anzu sweatdrop.
He has about 10 seconds to begin explaining...

Faster than necessary? he pondered on that for a moment until pushing it off as nothing and continued on into the library. As he continued his walk next to the Hyuuga elder he heard mumbles,and words behind him.Just so he wouldn't run into the 'it's rude to stare' obstacle he turned his head ever so slightly just to see who was doing the talking. Soon enough the 'faster than necessary' was back on his head. He heard many things about Irihi which made him wonder ,and think about him until it reminded him of his Senju Lineage.
There were pure blooded Senju ,and then those who were descendants of lab experiments made to expand clan numbers.He was unsure of which he was ,but it still bothered him to think about if he was just the descendant of a freak made from science.
His train of thought was interrupted as he saw color get pulled down and back up he looked at the Hyuuga lady's Kimono one of the monkey's had strayed from the tree's ,and thought it was a good idea to go adventure someones clothing. Judging by the wave of energy flowing from Niyame she was about to go Jyuuken Kempo on it.Just out of the thought of that Rosuto knelt down ,and pet it from the neck down so it'd direct it's attention towards him.

"Shinmatte." Anzu murmured, almost apologetically. "Come here and see, Nyame-hime." The Senju elder motioned to a cavern-like tree knot at the foot of one of the tree giants. On the wood was carved a symbol that looked like a free-floating leaf. "Well...I'll have the servants bring in chairs...though I still think the knots are very comfortable." Both eyes curled upwards into upside down 'U's. The look of realization must've reflected in Nyame's chakra as Anzu cheerfully continued. "We're a fuuinjutsu family after all. Hm..." Anzu's voice trailed off. "We'll worry about the books later. Rosuto, get started on the handseals." Anzu pulled a scroll from his bag and tossed it to the boy.
Handseals
The first thing the students needed to learn were the handseals that made the Jutsus possible. So I set them to learning all twelve. The rules are as follows: Roll 1d20 for each seal, one at a time. They must get a 12 or higher in order to correctly perform a seal. Each seal must be performed once correctly before being learned. Use the formula: [1d20 + Int Mod. = (#)].
Seal:
DC: 12
Total Seals Learned:
No Hp cost, no Cp cost.
This skill cannot be trained more than once.

"Anzu what kind of freak keeps a scroll from his Academy days in his bag" he said as he caught the scroll.he plopped it on the ground as it unrolled ,and he examined the handseals.He remembered he had seen these before ,but he had never actually did them.He didn't actually care though he was just going to start on the bird seal and be done with it.It straightened put his fingers to get them flexible as he got the image of the seal in his head and then put it on his hands.

((Keep track using that lesson format.))
Anzu let out a bark-like sound of laughter. "Me? Keep my schoolwork intact...? Nay. Nyame could tell you how I built a funeral pyre and burned them all." A light pause. "For your Academy school year's supply, obviously... Hm..." Anzu checked his bag again. "A shuriken/kunai set for later when we start target practice...scrolls for the Academy Jutsus and on basic Taijutsu...weights...string... EH? String...?" "Cat's cradle." Nyame's soft voice reminded. "Oh yeah...that..." Anzu's mind shifted down his mental Academy curriculum. "Hmn...there's resource scrolls too. Surely you didn't think I'll let you get away with homework now, ne?" Anzu pulled out another scroll and grinned widely, a grin that seemed to stretch from ear to ear. What he held was the first Academy homework assignment, that Rosuto missed.

"Gah homework!? on the night of an invasion!?....." He let it go ,and started back on his Handseals.He was actually a natural at these kind of things.The 6 centuries of rock solid genetics were paying off.Not that this was the first time genetics had given him an advantage,or a disadvantage .It was actually a while back in his childhood when the disadvantage kicked in.His so called friends had excluded him from their clique due to his bloodline.Which right now seems like something not so bad. Jealously simple jealousy ,although they did let him back in somewhat a month or so later.He was already on a soft training basis so it didn't matter anyway. In the end he was strong ,and they were still pretending to be what he was already on the way to becoming..a ninja.

"Yes, Rosuto-kun...homework..." Anzu emphasized the word just in case his junior might miss it again. Now, the Senju clan...attacking power is great and all but one thing they cannot afford is becoming stupid. Besides, the other kids had to do it too. There is no such thing as 'favoritism' or 'privileges' in the shinobi world. Ok, so maybe he was exaggerating...rookie shinobi getting used to the real world then. "If you absolutely do not comprehend that written assignment...I'll see what I can do. Nyame-hime has a knack of making hard questions, after all." Smiling, Anzu took a seat on one of the tree knots. To save time, he had grown armchairs from the ground for Nyame and her troope simply by pointing his index and middle finger at an open patch of her earth.
It would seem that no matter how many times other clans saw it, the Mokouton limit never ceases to amaze them...or at least how convenient it was...

His hands were getting more ,and more comfortable with the overlapping and intertwining which was just making this exercise easier by the second. He used this growing ease to tackle the third out of twelve handseals."Anzu do I have to say it again I'm becoming a Hokage history ,and work are nothing to me" he said with a cocky grin.he then turned to the Hyuuga troop .Even though it was explained earlier that some Hyuuga,and Senju were gonna burn down the supporters side of the village.He wondered why they were gathering so early.

"Lead a village without truly understanding it?" Anzu raised a skeptical eyebrow. "..." WHACK. One of the tree roots had escaped from the ground and bopped Rosuto on the head, Anzu's right hand was still held in the seal. "If you do not understand the will of fire...that each successor inherits...how care you even hope to garner the people's support? A unappreciative fool's words. Besides..." Anzu's expression was bored. "Eligibility for Genin Exams specifically encompasses all required courses. And 'unfortunately', village history is among them. Your purpose is to understand both aspects of necessary shinobi strengths: using the mind from the cunning, planning perspective is one...and the other is actually using creativity in the heat of battle. You'll find good leaders oft possesses both - the ability to plan and to improvise. Nothing ever goes perfectly 'according to plan'."

Rosuto toppled to the floor from the hit,and listened to Anzu's words.A moment after Anzu had finished he replied "First I'll prove myself on the battlefield by training ,and learning different ways on how to escape ,and most of all win a battle.Second I'll prove myself as a leader whom does what's best for the people of Konoha.That is how I hope to get the peoples trust"While saying all of this he had an unusually placed smile on his face.He then stood up

Nyame spoke up. "Anzu...if it's not a problem...would you mind helping me with fletching some arrows later...?" "Hn? For Irihi?" Anzu asked, a curious look in his hazel eyes. The nod confirmed his question. "Sure. But you'll have to do the final additions, Nyame-hime." Another slight nod from his teammate accompanied by a soft 'hai'. "Feels weird being on a free weekend..." Anzu murmured. It was true, the ANBU captain's body was expecting some dangerous harsh S-rank mission. But no, he was here at home...with his dear otoutou and teammate. "I hope..." His eyes curled upwards into happy upside down "U"s. "...the other students enjoy the concert."
"Concert...? Oh...you mean that..." Nyame remembered what Anzu had told her about two of the Academy Students, Abel and Kimiko, were setting up a paying concert. She knew no Hyuugas would attend such a trivial event...also because the girl's older half-brother was an outcast of the clan. Personally, she had never met Kuriyama Danku...and it remained a secret known only to the Hyuuga clan elders that when Lord Kuriyama died on that mission...it was actually an assassination arranged by the clan.
'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...' As Hammurabi would say. Even though the woman Lord Kuriyama killed was a clan outcast to begin with...even before she had the illicit affair...still, it was Hyuuga blood spilled. Nyame's lip curled slightly. Disgusting. She decided. The other clan elders seemed to think only they could decide the life and death of clan members...besides the head of family's word, of course.

Hokage he thought the person who defends this village with their life,just as Lady Cerbi did ,and just as her apprentice is.He wondered where the current Hokage was anyway.If he did not show soon after the attack on the supporters there was going to be a dilemma in power .He figured the village elders would uphold something close to the Kage position ,but still the village needed a solo power or maybe even a duo .Either way the village needed a leader.After thinking up a storm he got back to what was at hand ,and that was handseals so he started on the next.

His hands slid apart in mid fol as he turned to Anzu & Nyame.You could have sworn they were a couple from the arguing to the time they sped together.Rosuto gave a small smile ,as much as he teased Anzu it was nice to just see him here relaxed ,and not off on a mission.Although by tonight there would be a mission that involved risk.He just hoped Anzu could stay free for just a little longer.

((3 completed lines, Vuckzuck. And what did I tell you about keeping track...? >___O))
Cp: 2714/2722
Anzu, who was sitting calmly, took his thumb to his mouth, and bit down hard to draw blood. A scroll was whipped out from his yukata and thrown high into the air, the blank portion trailing out and spiraling downwards. The ANBU captain quickly wrote a series of kanjis with his blood on the scroll. When the scroll landed again, it was back to its normal folded form. With his right hand, Anzu crushed the scroll into the ground. Kuchiyose: Tobidogu. Poof. In the next instant, the ANBU captain had a teapot in one hand and a tray with cups in the other. "Tea anyone?" He asked cheerfully.
Tobidogu (Projectile Weapons)
In order to store and use large items or various weapons, the user can unleash them by utilizing summoning scrolls. In this way, the person won't be burdened by carrying weighted artillery when going up against an opponent.
Rank: C
Cp Cost: All numbers are per item stored
2 [small objects, eg, kunai, shuriken]
8 [medium objects, eg. tanto, books]
15 [in between objects like katana]
25 [large objects, eg. human-sized puppets, kusarigama, nodachi]
40 [huge objects]
Damage: N/A
Requeriments: Scroll, intelligence 20+, Fuuinjutsu 2/6/15/30/40 [depending on the size]
Training days: 2/2/3/3/4 days, must be learnt in succession. So huge items would take 2+2+3+3+4 = 14 days to learn.
