Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ronnel had searched through the tower four times, and had found no one capable of training him. He slumped onto a bench with a long drawn out groan.
"I am not supposed to be active that long..." He let out a huge yawn as he laid his head back and contemplated the ceiling of the chamber he was in. He sighed and pulled out another flower and began his exercise from earlier, studying the paths of the flower's veins.

Walking into the tower, Ronnel brushed his fingers across the weathered stone where he had carved a message in anger so long ago. It had been one of the last things that had happened before the village settled down into monotony. He chuckled to himself before continuing into the building.
The Jounin ghosted past the civilian and Chuunin attendants, nodding to the ANBU guards as he sat down outside of the Kage's office chamber.

((Nah, I'll wait. It'd mess up his timeline if Ron saw that guy right now, because supposedly, the last time he saw the Akatsuki leader it was when you lead him away to fight when Ron was a genin. It'd be a severe timeline screw up if he saw a fight that was supposed to be when he was a genin.))

Tonou arrived. He immediately saw Ronnel waiting for him. “Sorry my lateness…” he asked with a bored face. “I need to rest!” he said walking directly to his office and saying to Ronnel to follow him. As soon as he entered the office he sat down and waited for Ronnel “I’m waiting to introduce you to your new assign Gennin. Soon he will come here” he said then he stopped talking to let Ronnel say what he wanted.

Tonou looked to Kiyuku and glance to Ronnel. “This is your new student. Prepare him well Ronnel. I don’t want Kirigakure to do a stupid figure in the chunnin exams!”. He said seriously. “I’ll be always here for what you need. Teach him the basics and make him strong for what means necessary! You certainly know how this Village was called before the wars… Don’t you?” he asked smiling. Of course they would never go back to the times where students kill each other but he wanted his Village to be strong.

Tonou looked to Karina when she arrived. “Not so formal…” he said when she bowed. “And, yes. I want to talk to the four of you…”. Then he looked to Ronnel so he would leave with his gennin to train and then looked again to Karina. “One member of your team is also arriving here at any moments so just wait till he appears, then train him. Make sure he works hard!” he said looking through the window. Tonou didn’t stand to be the weakest and neither would stand to be Kage of the weakest Village.

"Are we to return to the times when we were feared my lord? That would be interesting to see..." Ronnel looked at the other three, two of whom seemed familiar to him. He shrugged it off. "Well, if I'm to be your sensei, I'll need to know what you know already. Meet me at the local food shop, I have something I need to talk to Tonou-sama about first. Hang on -" He closed his eyes and created a Kaze Bunshin to escort the group. "Go with them, and try to keep them out of too much trouble until I get there."
Ronnel turned to Tonou and gestured to the side of the room. "A word please Mizukage-sama?"

"We have to be wary my lord. There have been reports that the group known as Akatsuki is seeking to make its base here, and no one knows who their leader is, nor what their goal is. After that, I was curious to know about receiving the family scrolls so that I can continue my own training." Ronnel studied his student for a long moment, wondering why he had been chosen to train the lad. He shrugged imperceptibly and returned his gaze to Tonou.
