It had been a week since his training and he finaly was able to be active again. During his down time he had been resting and still did pushups so all of his hardwork would not be for nothing. Cronos looked around his room for a moment but something was stange a package was at the foot of his door. "Well I better check that out "Cronos said as he got out of bed to see what was inside. It was label To Cronos Aurum from the Iwagakure ninja academy[/i. "Wait is it what I think it is"Cronos start rip apart the package to find a ninja headband and a note. Cronos was so happy that he almost thogh away the note. The note had a list of the current gennin teams Team Marcus Areno, Kei Taida, Navalie [open slot]
Team Ryoko Reckage Kuma Izumi Itou Amaya
Team Reikon Kumori, Ame Zee, Zanza Houka
Team Devil Burrito Fubuki Shinratsu Isagawa Raisuke Henka Shizuka
Team Kaijinbo Kenkomishi Hiei Hayaku-Omoi Hitomi Aurum Cronos
Team Souzou Seth- Shinku Myaku [open slot]
Team Black {Etna's team} Takamichi Roy Myaku, Shuiro Akimoto Ayumi Cronos looked over it to find his name on the list but than he droped the list "So I am on team Kaijinbo who ever the hell that was but he was not on the same team as Shin or Shizuka"Cronos paussed"Hell even Rai is on their team"Cronos said bitterly. Cronos walked over to his closet to find that he had a new vest like robe to replace his old clothing. this. Execpt the symbol on his back his the Aurum clan symbol and the black parts are orange. Cronos tries on the new outfit which feels a better fit than what he was had on before. "Hey I like this now to complete the look"Cronos grabbed his headband put his on his forehead. "I look badass now"Cronos started to laugh as went to put on new bandages over his wounds since his old one were from the day before. The bandages went from the his bottom half chest and than wraped down from his sholder. Both his hands were also covered so Cronos put on some fingerless glove to go over the banages.After Cronos was done he put his new jacket on and went into the kitchen. He found that lunch of spicy tofu curry and orange tea and been made for him "heh I guess I just go for a walk to the river and enjoy my meal there. Cronos left packed the meal and left for the gate to the canyon. When he got there he flashed his headband and left into the canyon. (Exit to canyon)

Hashirama found himself placed to the side in the midst of an on-going conversation between a Nara and a Senju. He grimaced at his blacked out memories all of which most likely concerning the events that took place and lead up to his current condition. "Shikamori" as faintly as it sounded in the cradle of his father he had said something towards the Nara. His body mind felt mangled and dazed ,and he kept repeating his previous phrase"Shikamori...Shikamori...Shikamori" all of which spaced with a distant grumble.

"I have to pick up Elruda-hime..." Zephyr said suddenly. "It's getting late, and Yuuko-hime wouldn't like it if she returns home too late..." His voice trailed off, in thought apparently of the best way to bring the children home. "That's fine. You stay with Shi-kun." Said Shikamori. "I'll have to bring Sakeme-chan back anyways. So I will take Elruda-hime home too. Where is she?" "At the bakery, making gingerbread houses." Zephyr replied. "But...be careful though... She might not be too happy - ..."
Too late, Shikamori was already gone. Zephyr sweatdropped. "Hopefully nothing too bad will happen..."

Hashirama's word went unnoticed by Shikamori and he went on his to fetch Elruda and Sakeme. He was now along with this mysterious man who had yet to ask a question even though his presence paralyzed and puzzled him so. The former was no where to be found so this was a good a time as ever to confront him the best he could. He pushed his words to the loudest he could."Who are you...?" the words awkwardly slithered out of his mouth and he fell silent awaiting a response to his faint words.

((Add Shodaime Hokage's heirloom necklace to your valuables list.))
Zephyr laughed and rubbed the child's head. "Don't worry, no one important." There was no need to tell the child, and besides...his words were partly true. His official inauguration was still to be held however... "Ah...that's right... Close your eyes for a moment." Not saying why, Zephyr reached to his neck, unbuttoning the first clasp of his trench coat. And he pulled out a necklace... A forest green crystal with two small white gold bells at either side... Wait...wasn't that necklace supposed to be lost? Apparently not...after Rokudaime Hokage's death, the necklace was returned to a grieving Godaime...who upon her passing returned the necklace to the next head family. And from then on it was passed from generation to generation, kept within the family. It was briefly given to the Nanadaime Sarutobi Konohamaru but then returned to the Senju clan.
The Senju clan recognized no Hokages after Nanadaime.
In Zephyr's father's time...when he was murdered by the villagers...the necklace was given in the keeping of the Hokage Rasen. And Rasen returned the necklace to Zephyr...the young Sannin apparently took the heirloom with him when he left the village. "I don't have a right to keep that anymore." He said quietly, rubbing the boy's hair. "It's yours now."

Unlike with Shikamori the boy got a reply this one was accompanied by something with a physical presence. it went around his neck nicely adding one more piece of truth that he was of Senju descent,but more so it meant he was the traditional Prince of Senju with this necklace he would be entitled to surpass those who had risen Konoha . He smirked bit at the necklace before attempting a reply to this man. He attempted but the words were choked for an unknown reason. So he simply laid there before his father and the world as the Prince of Senju.

But Zephyr's reason for keeping the necklace during all those years...were quite different to how his clan had imagined. He did not keep the heirloom pendant because of his status as head of family...but because of the supposed curse he had wished the pendant would grant... Yet instead, it was Rasen's blessing and his father's last wish which had come true... He didn't want the position of Kage but unexpectedly had survived the trails of his life and now...it was the prize of surviving the curse which became reality...
"That pendant...is made of a special type of crystallized ore." He said quietly. "It was made to recognize the Senju clan's special chakra, and had once belonged to the founder, and fell into possession of seven famous Hokages. Nanadaime Sarutobi Konohamaru was the last to have it, after grieving Godaime - the Rokudaime had passed away in battle - Senju Tsunade gave it away..." His voice trailed off. "Konoha's people was told it was lost, but the truth is quite different. The Senju clan would not hail any of the ensuing Kages...nor did any of them become truly great."
"With it...there comes a gift and a curse." A pause. Unreadable expression through half-lidded eyes. "If you survive the trails the pendant will for certain bring...you will become great."

((NOTE: Only Shikamori have moved on to the day after the festival in his interaction with Sakeme. Zephyr and Yokou will remain to complete their festival scenes.))
The next morning, the Nara sighed, finding himself sitting in the middle of the town square. Deep scratches (like Naruto's fox whispers), was clawed onto his cheeks on either sides. Guess Princess Elruda wasn't too pleased of having to go home before she could complete her gingerbread house... Actually...that would be an understatement. The child kicked, screamed, threw a tantrum, and then, worst of all, began crying. The Nara felt like a criminal when the old woman stared at him, as if it was his fault for making the child cry...
So, after Shikamori made sure Elruda's companion (Tai) got home safely, he took the now sleeping child in his arms. At least she was quiet then. The old lady of the bakery had given her cookies and other sweets, see, and Elruda had cheered up almost immediately after then.
By the time Shikamori arrived home...he was SO tired.
Morning arrived too quickly. The Nara grumbled into his mind, watching the clouds in the sky. Oh, how he envied them...

Sakeme had watched him, compketely silent, as he went for Elruda and took her home. Part of the silence was her pesonality, another part was shock... and then a thrid element that she couldn't name. Eventually she had fallen asleep and woken to a bright sunny day. I curse the sun... it's way too happy... Groaning, she rolled out of bed and got dressed. Stretching the kinks out of her back, she left without breakfast and headed towards the twon square where her new sensei has asked her to meet him that morning. Looking around she spotted the man and walked towards him. "I hope I'm not late...?"

"Alright...let's start." The Nara muttered, pressing a finger to his temple. Boy, did Shikamori not look like he was in a good condition today... It was really a mystery sometimes how the heck did his Sensei...how the heck did Senju Zephyr find the vitality to run around so early in the morning. It was really early...so Hashirama too probably was still sleeping. Well, last night was an exhausting one both physically (stayed up really late) and emotionally for the child... Ah yes, speaking of children. Princess Elruda was still curled up, had successfully usurped the Nara's teddy bear, and wiping the occasional drool away with the bear's paws.
"Right. First of all...can you perform Genjutsu Kai?"

Sakeme smirked slightly at how tired her new teacher had appeared to be. Were you unprepared for today, sensei? She waited patiently until the first question was asked. "Yes, I know the Kai: Release... why?" Was he going to perform genjutsu on her first? That would be an interesting method of training... She was willing to do it... anything to get stronger.

Shikamori took a moment to consider. "Hm...very good. So what about Hell Viewing Technique?" Unknown to Sakeme, the Nara had taken into consideration that utilizing his own Genjutsu on the child would have dastardly results. Also not to mention that Yokou would kill him... So he had an idea...from a distant memory of his own days as a Genin... A Genjutsu training technique their former teammate, the Uchiha prodigy Museifu, had once shown to him.

Sakeme nodden once more. "Yes, I know Hell viewing too... as well as that illusionarly needle-bell jutsu... I learned all three of those right before Elruda and I were kidnapped from Amegakure and brought here..." Perhpas that would notify him of her quick learning skills despite her dememor making her natually look lazy and unmot6ivated. "What are you plotting, sensei?"

"The Chuunin Exams is upcoming right...hm..." A pause. Shikamori reached into his pouch and pulled out a scroll. "Kori Shinchu no Jutsu (Sly Mind Affect Technique). It isn't a offensive-type Genjutsu that attacks the mind directly but could possibly come of great use in the second round." A pause. "Here, take this. It's a copy I brought anyways so you can keep it. Go through it carefully - we're heading to Abunai Canyon."
Kori Shinchu no Jutsu (Sly Mind Affect Technique) Kori Shinchū no Jutsu is a Genjutsu which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically because they are unable to reach their desired area by traveling along the same path over and over. Cp cost: 40 + 5 per turn Requirements: Genjutsu 30 Ranks Training days: 6 days. Will Save:10 + half user's level + half int mod + half wis mod Specials: For every other post that the jutsu remains in effect, subtract 30 MHp and 20 Hp from fatigue

Cronos walked though endless back allys and sidestreets of Iwa untill he came to a opening in the far western part of town. A bunch of rundown homes littered the area but there seemed to be one building that stood out from the others. It was called hokori-mai the forge in where his new sensei worked as a blacksmith. Cronos looked around the place it seemed that no one had lived in this part of the village for a longtime. Cronos sighed "I really dont think my new sensai lives here but lets look around a for little bit. Cronos started to wonder around for a little bit untill he came to the only buliding that was not destroyed. "I guess this must be the place"Cronos saw that the door was opened and he walked right in. The building seemed really dark other than the glow from the forge. "Hello is anyone in here my name is Cronos Aurum I am looking for someone named Kaijinbo "Cronos waited for a moment "He is my new sensai"Cronos stoped and waited for a response.
