The genin had finally arrived at the grounds. His further training was still in progress. He had to conditioned his body before performing various techniques in his current arsenal. A few stretches couldn't hurt, would it? Crack of his neck was the last to top off series body straightening. If he skipped right to the chase, he would be severely out of shape. The reckless and stupendous vibes of his current personality had to seize to exist. The taijutsu was his main priority. He couldn't be too careless of his training. Ikazu had to work hard and victoriously achieve this ability. To top this off, he had to find a dummy to train upon. The Training Grounds had offered a few targets. They laid idol on the surface of the grassy floor. The dummies were waiting abnormally patient for the fist to unravel upon them. Ikazu was going to be the first to expel his variety of strength. A step forward towards the targets was motioned. The dummies were tied up to the wall of a giant spike that stood dormant over the group. The training had proven to be prepared for further action. Raiken was more then just ready. He was destined to perform this specific technique. His fists were growling for the action that awaited them. A opposing force pelted upon the dummies, one at a time. The fists were continously unraveling an extension of punching that harmed their targets. There was two driving forces were lonely. The fists were having all the fun while the legs were currently idol for the genin to keep his balance. Why not the legs have their share of the party. A swing of a lower force to be reckoned with barred the other dummy in the rear, while the upper force continously mangled the left and right torso plate, the facial, upper and lower biceps, solar plexus, and the stomach, in which was the launching point for the dummy. There more dummies to inflict damage upon. The flare in his eyes wouldn't extinguish. Even more driving forces joined the fray as his physical attacks impacted against the dummies. Right kick, left kick, round-about, roadhouse, upwards kick, and jambe were executed. The genin was swift and quick on his toes. The impacting forces of his punches deemed to severe the wood material of the training targets. His form was improving. Though, his muscles and biceps were straining too quickly. Another round of 10x 500 pushups couldn't hurt. The sweat of further progress was streaming down his facial. He loved the pain that barred his muscle fiber. The Raiken was developing the form of physicals non-stop. 10 weeks had passed non-canonically. He camped out in the wilderness. 500 mile run around the village and 600 sit-ups to spare. This was over the board for Ikazu to manipulate, but at least he achieved good body build-up as a reward for his hard work. The genin continued to train with the dummies yet again. His hard hits later left dents in the dummy's various body parts. The training didn't stop from there. It went further for another 10 weeks. His attitude continued to flare. The fury of his overwhelming punches continued to escort the destruction of various targets that met its bellow. It was astonishing that his strength risen to the heavens above. Sweat of progress streamed downwards. There was a chance he can further perfect this powerful technique. He had the will to work even harder until his body was no more. The boy continued his training. Improvement was at hand. His punches were becoming even more fierce. Eternal fury was in state. Ikazu pushed himself to the limit. He couldn't hold back, not a tiny bit. The intense adrenaline punctured his muscles. He shined a yellow aura. It represented his chakra. This shows that he surpassed the body limiters that stood as an obstacle. All of his chakra pathways located in different body parts were officially connected. He was surely ready. The boy continued to pelt the targets limitless with his newly found power. Each fist shattered parts of the dummy. This was astounding. It was plausible that the boy can survive this long. His fiery will kept him from falling further. Floods of manly sweat flooded. He had finally learned the technique.

The male slowly made his way down the steps of the mountain toward the Training Grounds. Behind him lay the Academy, a chapter in his life that had just ended, the male having just graduated. He was now a Genin, though he had yet to report to the Raikage to receive an official headband... Nor had he been assigned a team or any missions yet... But those could wait. The boy had wanted to get stronger before he presented himself to the Raikage, the village needed strong ninja, especially now after what had happened to the previous Kage. True, he knew little about it, or about the now deceased man, but that made no difference when it was the village that mourned the death of their leader. Everyone would be affected, whether they realized it or, as in his case, didn't. He paused, his spiked white bangs blowing into his face as a gust of wind blew past, causing him to reach up and brush them aside. The boy was... unique, in a way, though if asked, he would deny it. His hair was as white as snow, a trait of his clan, and was left longer in the front, letting it spike outward a bit, while kept shorter and neater in the back. His skin was fair and, since he had never been in real combat, flawless. His eyes were a deep ruby color, though they held no special trait. On his head he had something of a half mask and head guard, the guard having two spikes like objects that protruded outward, making it appear as if he had horns, and both a blackish grey in color. His outfit was fairly simple, and could remind one of a samurai more than a ninja. His top was almost trench coat like, though somewhat fitting in his torso and arms, was large in the collar, with a set of vertical blackish grey stripes that ran down it. Shoulder guards were built into the outfit, though not large or imposing, and could probably do little more than look good. Around his waist was a leather belt like object that held his white katana in place, as well as had his ninja pouch attached to, both easy to reach and not obstructing the other. He wore a set of long gloves on either hand, and a white hakama could be seen under his coat, though what his top looked like was a mystery at the moment, if he even had one on underneath of that. He shoes were the normal open toed shoes that most ninja wore, however as with the color scheme of his current outfit, they too were black.
He was a member of the Hatake clan, and had come from a long line of rather famous ninja. Though, he was glad that many of this generation didn't realize it, and just thought that his hair was 'cool'. Now... as to why he had paused in his decent. He was looking for something. There was a technique he needed to learn, to try out and master. It was similar to the Tree Climbing Technique they taught in the Academy, but better, more challenging even, if you would. Though he had never really been one that was much for challenges, he was one that wanted to improve his skills. Which brought him to his current predicament. Looking for a body of water, and this spot had seemed like the ideal for viewing the below Training Grounds. Disinterested eyes scanned along the walkway, down to the Grounds below. The Eastern half, of which he saw nothing aside from maybe a few small puddles, and then onto the Western half. "There we go, that should work." he commented out loud, his gaze stopping on a decent sized body of water in the corner of the area. That should work plenty well for what he needed to do.
With a nod to himself, he hooked his fingers into his belt, starting down the steps again in a leisurely manner. He was in no hurry, and had no where to be later... Even if he did, he still saw no reason to rush things. People rushing always seemed to miss out on the smaller things in life, and in battle, that could lead to an opening that you hadn't meant to give your opponent, or one that you had missed that could have ended the battle. He at last came to the bottom of the steps, and hopped off the last one, his feet touching lightly against the ground. He turned to the Western half of the Training Grounds, strolling through as if it were a park and he were enjoying the nice day outside. Truthfully, he couldn't see anyone else here, so he could think of it as his own personal park... Whatever helped him to learn this Jutsu. He came to a stop at the edge of the lake, looking down into its crystal blue depths. He could see the small fish swimming around in it, and for a while he could even make out the sandy, rocky bottom before it seemed to just drop off.
He let out a light sigh, reaching up to open his over jacket, "I probably should have brought a change of clothes with me today..." he chuckled softly as he pulled the coat off, folding it and laying it carefully to the side. Beneath his coat he wore a simple white, sleeveless shirt that hugged against his lean body in a very form fitting way. There didn't seem to be an ounce of extra fat on the boy's bones as he pulled off his gloves as well as his katana and shoes, sitting them all neatly next to his coat. He faced the water once more, walking to stop where the water lapped lightly at his toes. Right. First... focus chakra into the soles of my feet... Just like for Tree Climbing... He had only read about this technique before, and had, unfortunately, not yet witnessed anyone using it. He could vaguely remember his teacher at the Academy mentioning it... But he had been dozing at the time. Back on topic! I really need to stop getting so distracted... But I mean, I don't see why I need to get worked up over it either... he thought as he watched the water below his foot, noticing the ripples that branched and spread outward as he began to put his weight on his foot and take his first 'step'. The moment he did, his foot dipped slightly, and he had to bring his arms out to help balance himself. This was most certainly, more difficult than Tree Climbing.
Slowly, he started forward with the other foot, wobbling as the water rippled beneath his feet, causing the uneven surface to break even more, and his foot again splashed into the water. He frowned softly, concentrating and trying to feel for the subtle change in the water's surface as he continued forward, his pace slow, his steps shaky... But still steps all the same. He moved further out into the lake, wobbling as his foot dipped and went under the water. The sudden rush of cold liquid on his foot had him focusing more on that one, and then his other foot hit water as well. He gasped, his arms flailing in circles as he lost balance, and concentration. He was met with the cool arms of the liquid he had just been walking in, the water engulfing around him as he fell backwards into it. Luckily he hadn't went too far out, but it was still deeper than the short Genin could touch, so he popped his head back up, took a refreshing gulp of air, and shook his head, treading water where he was. Alright... Don't get over excited about it, because then this happens... He mentally chided himself, his arms stroking outward as he brought himself forward and began swimming to the shoreline. If I start to sink, it will be alright, just adjust minimally until I can find the correct balance again... He brought his feet under him, bare toes curling over rocks as he trudged, now soaking wet, back onto the shore.
A hand came up, wiping his wet bangs back from his face and water from his eyes. "Ok. Time to try it again." he muttered to himself, taking a slow breath. This time though, the male closed his eyes, clearing his mind and focusing as he came to a stop at the water's edge. Within his subconsciousness, he brought up a single image, a tear drop shaped gem, clear enough to see through it, yet at the same time a dazzling, near opaque white. This gem was suspended in the emptiness that was his thoughts by a single, thin silver chain that came out of the middle of the darkness. Slowly the chain started to glow, and from the bottom of it, a single droplet of sparkling white formed. He raised his left foot up, focusing the chakra into the sole of his foot. Slowly the droplet began to fall, though after only a short drop, it landed in the darkness, and a ripple spread out from around it, as if it had been dropped in water. His foot touched down on the surface of the water again, the liquid rippling out around his foot. This time though, with each ripple and small wave, his chakra output would adjust, ebb and flow just like the waves. In his mind, another drop fell, and he took another step. Each time he took a step, his eyes still closed and focusing on the imaginary gemstone within his mind, a droplet of sparkling white would fall, until at last, the darkness that he had shrouded his mind in was dancing with a white lake. He now stopped, opening his eyes and looking around. He was standing in the middle of the lake, and behind him and everywhere he had walked, he had left small traces of his white chakra, dancing like stars along the surface of the lake before they slowly started to twinkle out of existence.
Beneath his half mask, he smiled. He had accomplished the first of his training. He had a long road ahead of him, he knew that, but this small first step could be viewed as a great accomplishment to some. The fact that it had went so well also gave the young Hatake a feeling that perhaps the rest of his time as a Shinobi would go just as well. "Right. On to the next thing... After I dry off for a bit." he chuckled, looking down at his still wet form. He turned back to the shore and his things, now able to walk along without really even thinking about it, and hopped back onto the shore. He closed the short distance between himself and his things he had taken off, turning and sitting next to them, going as far as to even lay back on his back on the ground, his arms coming to cross behind his head as he stretched out, his eyes closing. Yes... He would wait here for a while and let himself dry... He wasn't planning on sleeping... Not... at... The young Genin yawned, wiggling his shoulders a bit to get more comfortable as he quickly started to doze off.

To do this, the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of the their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice, because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly. It has also been shown that one can use their chakra to "skate" across the water surface, like an ice skater, instead of just walking or running. And, as noted by Jiraiya, the more one trains this technique the more they reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying. [Once the user successfully learns this, they can use the technique passively all the time without even knowing sometimes] 1,906 / 250 - Technique Learned!
The Genin awoke some time later, yawning and stretching in the grass. He was now dry, if not a bit sore from sleeping outside and on the hard ground, but the nap had been well worth it. With a soft grunt, the white haired boy pushed himself from the ground and stood, brushing his back free from the bits of grass that had decided to cling to him. He grabbed his things, sliding his shoes on and then pulling on his coat, and affixing his katana back at his right side. Well, that was one technique that he had needed down, now for the other. This was going to be a bit trickier... Now, he was well aware that he wasn't overly strong, nor was he overly fast, he had trained to have a wide expanse of knowledge rather than focusing on one single subject, and as such, he took a loss in over all power for more flexibility and versatility in battle.
One such subject that he had taken an interest in learning had been Taijutsu. His family had been primarily Kenjutsu users, and so without their weapons, tended to have a hard time of it. So, the young man had thought that, to combat this, he would learn not only Kenjutsu, but also Taijutsu, the skill of fighting bare handed, with just what your own body could supplement. Yes, he wasn't as strong as he probably should be to be dabbling in Taijutsu, but he wasn't exactly trying to specialize in it now was he? No, just enough to where if he needed to use it, he could as a means to fend for himself until he could either; A) get help, or B) get to his weapons again. Now, with all of his things back in their proper places and him nice and dry, as well as rested, he was ready. He took a slow breath through his nose, counting to five as he did so in his head, his eyes closing as he focused only on breathing, feeling as his lungs and chest wall expanded outward. He held the breath to the count of three before, once more counting in his head to five, he slowly exhaled. He brought his hands to the center of his abdomen, about a fist's length away from his body. His thumbs came to touch their opposite digit's pads, his index fingers out as they too came together, creating an open space between his hands. His other fingers came to rest against one another as he began to relax his body.
He focused on each area individually, starting with his neck. He began to slowly roll his head, moving to touch his ear against his shoulder, then slowly rolling his head to the opposite shoulder, then back again, moving in half circles. He then stretched his neck back, and again rolled it in half circles from one shoulder to the other. Next came his shoulders. His head up, he would start to slowly shrug and rotated his shoulders, his hands never separating as he did so. He continued to focus on his breathing as did all of this, slowly working each of his muscle groups and stretching them. When he had finished, he opened his eyes, letting his hands fall to his side. Now... How to best condition the body... His gaze fell to the monumentous amount of steps that led from the Academy all the way down the base of the mountain. Even now, at the Training Grounds, he wasn't quite at the bottom of it. Well, better now then never I suppose... he took another breath and then started, jogging his way to the steps and turning to start, running down them as hard as he could. By the time he reached the bottom, his knees were already hurting, and he had a light bead of sweat forming on his brow. But he wasn't done. Oh no, the moment his foot touched against the ground at the bottom he pivoted on his toes, and his next step was back to the stairs. Going up proved to be much harder than going down.
His knees and thighs burned by the time he reached the Training grounds, and he still had a good ways to go to reach the Academy. He was taking the steps two at a time, counting as he went to take his mind off of the pain that was starting in his legs. He pressed onward, forcing his body to continue moving. He had walked this several times now, it wasn't that hard. Though, walking it from the village and running it from the bottom were apparently very different. He was starting to struggle by the time he made it to the top where the Academy was, sweat running into his eyes and down his face now, the boy panting slightly as he again pivoted, groaning softly as he looked down the steps before continuing back down them. He was about six steps from the training grounds area when he felt it, his foot missed the step, and he gave a soft yelp of surprise as he tumbled. He tucked his body in, his arms coming to cover his face as he rolled, landing hard on his right shoulder before coming to a tumbling stop in the grass of the training grounds. He hissed in pain as he pushed himself up from the dirt and grass, his right arm not wanting to bear the full weight he put on it. He sat back on his knees, his left hand coming across to rest against his right shoulder, fingers pressing along the socket to feel it. He winced, his palm resting against the dislocated ball joint as his fingers pressed against his upper back. This was the main focus of this Taijutsu, to be able to take a hit and withstand the pain... He gritted his teeth and stood, walking over to a jutting piece of rock and raising his right arm to press his palm against it, every movement sending shooting pains through his shoulder. He squared himself up against the rock, and began to press forward, bracing his hand against it and starting the slow, painful process of forcing his joint back in place. His eyes closed and his head lowered, biting his lip to muffle the soft squeak of pain as he suddenly forced his body forward, a pop echoing in his ears as the joint slid back in place. He cried out now, letting his hand slip off the rock and lean against it, his left hand holding his shoulder as he gasped and panted.
With a groan, the Genin pushed himself from the rock, turning back to the steps. He needed to keep going... Wiping the sweat from his face, he again started his way down the steps, jogging and this time being a bit more careful of where he put his foot. By the third time he had started back up the mountain steps, he was dying, his feet dragging, and causing him to trip and stumble more often. On the way up, as he made it to the top section of the training grounds, his legs simply refused to continue to move, his knees buckling and sending him crashing onto to the steps, his hands coming out to break his fall. Panting, he crawled and drug himself off of the walking path and onto the grass of the field, flopping over onto his back and reaching to open his coat. His arms fell to the ground beside him, his coat open and chest heaving as he gasped for breath and panted, even so though, there was a soft grin under his face mask. He was getting there, he could feel it... He just needed to find someone, or something, to spar with to start learning how to better take and deflect a punch. He would get to that... After he rested... His hand came up, pulling down the half mask from his face and letting the cool breeze blow across it, gulping as he swallowed to try to ease his parched throat. Yes, he would rest, then get to the remainder of his training...
He awoke with a chill, the sweat on his body having dried and the cool breeze causing him to get cold. He shivered, rolling over and pulling his coat around himself more. His legs hurt... Oh boy were they sore. It had probably been a bad idea to just go straight to sleep without stretching. Oh well, what was done was done and he couldn't really help it. With a groan, he stretched his legs out, feeling the muscles pull and his knees pop. That was never a good sign, maybe he was getting old... Ha! Right, old, he was only eleven! He let out a sigh, pushing himself up and dusting himself off before closing his coat. Now what to do? He still didn't want to go to the Raikage's office yet... He didn't feel like he was ready for it, but at the same time, he didn't want to just go back to his apartment. He let out an exasperated sigh, his hand coming to run through his white hair as he scratched at the back of his head. Maybe go out for a walk? That sounded good. But he didn't want to walk around the village aimlessly... He did that almost every other day. He blinked, bringing his left hand out, palm up, and his right one down in a fist to meet it, "I know, I'll go visit another village. Maybe I can learn something useful from some other Shinobi around there." Not to mention, it might actually come in useful to have connections from other villages.
He nodded to himself and turned, brushing himself off. He would stop off at his apartment and shower before he actually left, but he had a plan now. Now to figure out which village he would go to... Well, he could always just start out and end up where ever. That sounded like a good enough plan. He chuckled softly, turning and heading back to the village proper to get a shower and change.
The blonde was sitting on a rock about to fall fast asleep, he was going to wait her while relaxing to see what happens. He expected a few of them to suddenly appear there and start yelling at him. This kinda made him stand up and make it look like he had been training to get him outta trouble. But, the unlucky Alphonse was now fast asleep. His eyes shut and blonde hair covering them.

Raiken ventured towards the training grounds. Hm, it seems that the new Raikage wanted a word with all the genin of Kumogakure. What was this all about anyway? Ikazu was in the middle of training elsewhere obviously. The guy couldn't take a break. Just one foot first. He finally reached his destination. Where the hell was the Raikage? There were a few genin peesent, but no Rai-sama. "Maybe I came a bit too early . . ." Ikazu placed his hands behind his head. In his free time, fists bared it's fangs against the bark of a tree.

Takiko arrived within the entrance to the training grounds unaccompanied by her husband. He wanted to go and let the Elders know that his wife had come back and to fulfill a request from her involving their young newly promoted Genin son. Walking deeper into the grounds, Takiko noticed two Genin faces that did not appear to be any of the other Genin that she had met in her office or saw at the village gate. One of them was looking quite upset with having to come here and the other... was he really asleep? This would never do. She reached down into her clay pouch with her right hand and pulled some out inside the mouth. Inside she formed five small clay sparrows ready to be thrown. These were explosives infused in them, however she did not put that much in not wanting to damage him very much. She pulled her arm back and launched the birds in the direction of the blonde of the rock; she was aiming more for the rock to cause a loud enough boom to wake him. After that she crossed her arms and waited patiently for the other Genin to arrive.

Albroit walked into the village with Getsu, it had been quite the adventure. He noticed that Getsu was walking the other direction. Talking about resting out a bit. "Fine by me, so long, Getsu!" He showed his gigantic smile to and crossed the other road. He was going to get some food before returning home. He didn't eat anything in his last journey! Well except for some apples maybe. He was going to get a fresh cup of steaming Ramen. Or some cucumbers. He didn't decide yet. He was snapped out of his dream, a Genin ran past him. He was screaming in himself. As if he had gone lunatic. "The Raikage wants us all to report to the training grounds! The Raikage!". He didn't know what to do with the boy. But he smiled at him. The introduction with the Raikage probably didn't take that long.
He arrived at the training grounds. He noticed two boys were there already. And he also noticed a women with white hair. Could this be their Raikage? He never saw her since he never got a mission from her yet, but he didn't know that she was a women. He remembered when he was travelling from city to city in his younger years that somebody said that the Raikage was probably the most barbaric sort of Kage there was. Was this women that tough? Since she didn't really look like it. He came walking towards them. Only filling the silent training field with the clapping of his shoes. Dragging them over grass did make some noise. But it was nothing special.
Getsu had taken his time, he had seen no reason to hurry to get to the Training Grounds, after all, what would the worst thing be? Getting punished? Put to extra details? Having to pick up garbage around the Village? If he got punished, he would get stronger from whatever it was, mentally or physically, extra duties gave him extra experience in whatever it was he was having to do, and cleaning up the Village would benefit everyone overall, so why would he complain about that? He had his arms crossed behind his head as he walked, his ruby colored eyes turned to the clouds, as normal with the young Genin. He wondered why the Raikage wanted everyone to meet at the Training Grounds. Was there something she wanted to put out? Something to assign to them? Who knew, well, the Raikage did obviously. He would just find out when he got there.
As he made his way down the steps that lead to the training grounds, he noticed that there were already several people gathered, including the newly appointed silver haired woman that was apparently the new Raikage. Included in this were Albroit, whom he recognized easily, as well as two other blonds, one with spiky hair that didn't seem to want to be there, and another with straighter hair that was asleep on a rock. Getsu paused on the rocky steps, his head tilting to the side as he watched the woman. She pulled something from a pouch, then a moment later, she threw it at the blond that was asleep. What she had thrown looked like... Little birds... that flew toward the boy. I wonder what they do... he thought, his arms falling from behind his head to his sides, his right arm coming to rest against the hilt of his katana.
If this woman were the Raikage, then she was sure to have something special that she could do. Maybe the birds were just that... But had they come from that pouch of hers? It didn't seem big enough to fit all five of those things in it. Not to mention what were they made of? His feet shifted slightly as he adjusted his weight, letting his right foot slide back some. He didn't want to go down yet, not until he saw the outcome of what the Raikage had done.

Midoriko Nekonome ~Tora Kumori~
As Midoriko finally found her way to the training grounds, she saw that quite a few people were already gathered. It seemed Lady Takiko had decided to wake one of the genin up from his nap with a few of her clay bombs, which was not a good place to be. As she walked down the steps, paying more attention to Takiko rather than where she was going, she bumped right into someone, her chest pressing awkwardly against the back of the person. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I must watch where I'm going more!" Midoriko bowed over and over in a comic fasion, and Hitofuki let out growls of protest while she was swung back and forth on her master's shoulders.
Coming back up, she saw it was a white haired boy with sharp red eyes. This made her even more embarrased about bumping him in such a manner! She side stepped him, then quickly went down the stairs, the white tiger cub on her shoulder staring daggers at the boy. As she was walking towards where the Raikage was, Midoriko looked over to a tree, and saw a spiky haired blond sulking over there. Frowning, she made her way over to him, and smiled. "Hey there. You really won't hear much if your all the way over here!" Smiling brightly with her long brown ponytail flowing behind her, and motioning him to follow, Midoriko made her way over to Takiko, then awaited the announcement.
"When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I'll tell you... Whenever you want it to be."

A fist made a repetitive calling upon the bark. Dents cratered the tree Raiken came upon. His training paid off. Though, there was a lot of work that needed to be done. The spiky-haired boy continued to rupture the barks of various trees until a girl intervened. His last punch came to a close. So, she basically asked him to join the other genin for the Raikage's soon to be announcement. "Yeah, yeah. I was getting to that. Just one punch would do the trick." A fierce collision was at hand. The tree came tumbling down to the surface. With that done, he placed his hands behind his head and casually walked where the other genin were. Now, what did Yuu-sama had to say anyway? He hoped it would be interesting. The boy was waiting to do something entertaining. Knuckles were cracked. This better be one helluva event.

The two teens would finally arrive at the training grounds beside Midoriko after having left from the gates. Standing for a moment, Shinto forgot he was holding Yuushiro's hand. Glancing down his face blushed and became filled with a surprised look. Naturally he pulled his left hand away from her right and tried to play it off by placing his hands in his jacket pockets. Why did he feel weird only after noticing his actions? Still being young and naive, Shinto wasn't sure why he caught himself holding the girl's hand. Him, the loner of a genin, holding someone's hand? It didn't really seem to add up correctly.Looking away from Yuushiro, the Uchiha covered his embarrassment with a now blank, emotionless face. As he stood between Midori and Yuushiro, he would turn his attention to Takiko for further instruction on why they were called here. While he waited, the Uchiha's eyes shot around and he was able to catch glimpses of all of the other genin who had assembled. Who were all these people? Why did Takiko need to meet with only the genin? Maybe they would be put into teams.. or .. Perhaps the matter was related to the death of the last Raikage. Shinto still hadn't gotten his funeral attire, nor did he really look forward to being forced to do so. He hated having to deal with funerals and the acknowledgement of other people's deaths. It wasn't fair.
Midoriko glanced over to see that the tall, moody blonde had joined the group near the Raikage, and this caused her to smile. She waved to him, in almost a goofy manner, her grin as large as a cat's. Turning her attention to the latest arrivals, Midoriko got closer to her teammates from the Ame excursion, and smiled. She was glad to see that Shinto was getting better, but she wondered what they were thinking at the moment. Looking back over her shoulder, she wondered if the white haired boy was going to be joining them soon. Takiko didn't look like she was in a waiting mood.
Deciding to stand on the opposite side of Yuushiro, Midoriko got close enough to whisper to the other without allowing Shinto to hear. "So Shinto is a cute guy, yeah?" She knew it was forward but the way the two were getting closer by the minute, she couldn't help but poke fun at those who she considered her friends now. "By the way, Hitofuki said she didn't like the taste of rabbit. You have nothing to fear from her near yours."The kunoichi was wondering what Takiko was going to say to them. Midoriko still needed to be approved to be a Kumo ninja after all....
"When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I'll tell you... Whenever you want it to be."

Alphonse Kaze
As the rock under Alphonse suddenly exploded he was knocked off of it and rolled on the ground. His cloths dirty now and rubble in his hair as he yawned starting to sit up. The blonde teen rubbed his eyes as he stood up blinking. He looked around seeing Genin and...the new Raikage. Which made his eyes widen and he bowed to her," Hello Lady Raikage." He looked at the others near him. Stretching his arms as his red eyes gazed over them. He didnt really recognize any of them,but he was bad with names. So that didnt help.
Albroit was surprised by the sudden explosion of the rock. The sound blasted away the clapping of his shoes. Did the Raikage do that? He didn't know. He did not see her move anything, nor was there a large noticeable chakra near her or the explosion. Was this a special power? A so called Bloodline limit? He walked up to the group of people. He was really curious towards most of them. But he had most of his question marks at the women. Was this the Raikage or not? He did not know. Well, there was only one way to find out. After the sound of the explosion he walked towards the group. "Is this the spot where we have to meet the Raikage?". He shouted his question towards no one in particular. He was curious to how many people were actually coming. Since he didn't see a gigantic group of Genin around here.
