He silently whispered the part of his sentence into Yuko's ear. As she introduced himself he nodded readily as they spoke of her heritage, lightly making several karate kata, and holding his fingers around his eyes in place of veins. Suddenly the kunai, burst from the tree into a clone of Sanjay, and then tagged the unaware Dengen.
He sat there for a moment, thinking to himself. To everyone else it was slowly and painfully watching the gears grind in his heads. "Wait, how'd he do that? The kid, had kunai; but wait, that kunai wasn't a kunai at all! But that means...that means....." A tiny ghostly form of Dengen appeared over his shoulder and spoke to his internal monologue. "He joooked you with a kuunai....." The little boy sat there and started to vibrate for a moment before letting out a rage quit scream of animalistic and horrifying proportions.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The scream itself was not only deafening, but it actually started shake the ground around them, literally. As he screamed he looked up to the skies shaking his fists in anger. Then just as suddenly as it began, he ceased. His hands returned to his holding Yuko and he was peaceful and even smiling.
"Well, that sucks. Yes, you win Onee-chan. Hmm. I need to reward you...soooomehoooow"
He looked around and thought before he was distracted by the conversation again. Returning his attention to them he looked in confusion at Sanjay's conversation,
"No siwwy, she isn't here to observe us. She is here to play with me, duh~ Well now, what do we do."

The captain yelled, heave ho, heave ho, and tied me down with sheets,
A storm is brewing in the south, its time to go to sleep.
His Berth, it rocks, heave ho, heave ho,
The ocean gnashed and moaned
Like Jona will be swallowed whole
and spat back teeth and bones.Yuko HyugaYuko had to paused for a moment and shake the ringing from her ears, it was amazing that she wasn’t deaf after that little outburst, especially being so close to the little one who made the sound. Luckily he didn’t do that right in her ear or she would have had permanent hearing loss. After the ringing stopped she tuned into Dengen telling Sanjay that she was ‘obviously’ here to play with him. Though unfortunately she wasn’t, at least that wasn’t what she had planned on doing anyway. She came here at Zasso’s request, more because she probably wouldn’t have been allowed to go much further into her search otherwise.
A huge drop of sweat formed and Yuko looked dejected as she surveyed the scene of utter disaster that the young boy had caused while he was ‘playing’ with the others.
“I think you may play a little too rough for me, Dengen-bonzo…” She replied almost heavily. She was a delicate creature at the best of times, her fighting style and her nature was much more defensive and protecting, and as such she was certainly not a front line fighter and that was for sure. Healer, maybe possibly, but she wasn’t a fighter. She looked down at Dengen with an expression that looked more like a cross between a forced smile and a worried look. “Actually I was going to try and find Midori-dono to see if she would teach me some of that genjutsu she uses that makes people feel more at ease. I’m not much for genjutsu, so I figured that I would try and at least learn something that would be helpful on a mission if I was ever sent on one. I was on my way to find her when Zasso-san asked me to come here for some reason.”
Yuko looked down with an apologetic look on her face and scratched the side of her cheek for a moment then the gentle smile that she was starting to become known for graced her features once again. She placed a hand on her free hip as she looked down at the little jounin.
“Besides, I doubt you would have as much fun playing with me as you would playing with Sanjay-san here. Us girls are delicate and docile things, we don’t like rough and tumble things nor competitive action that you boys seem to love so much. You wouldn’t get to be able to play as long or as hard with me as you would probably like.”
Speaking of being delicate…
Yuko had looked over at Sanjay earlier and noted that he was pretty worn out looking. Ugh, why did boys have to overdo it and push themselves too hard? There must have been something in the Y-chromosome that turned off one’s ability to know when it was a good time to quit. Yuko closed her eyes and sighed before walking closer to Sanjay and gently reaching out to the area’s where he had suffered damage from Dengens… game…
“Here, let me see… I’m not a medical ninja but I do know some first aid.” After a few moments of examining him she turned a bit of a scornful eye towards Dengen. “Dengen… I think you need to start playing a little more gently with your friends.” Yuko Theme Hush love, hush love,
Here's your gown,
There's the bed, lanterns down
But I don't want to go to sleep,
In all in my dreams I drown.

______________
Sanjay was used to the yelling, endless tantrums, and random personality changes Dengen had to offer, so he showed little attention to him. He however diverted his attention to Dengen upon hearing the word 'reward'. What could Dengen have in store, well Sanjay would eventually find out. Aside from that Sanjay was happy that he had finally found friends, which was reward enough.
"Reward, I do like the sound of that." he said as he stroked his imaginary facial hair while staring up as though he was in deep contemplation. Suddenly he heard Yuko's response. She didn't want to be part of the team, rather just learn from Midori-dono. It was somewhat of a disappointment, however Sanjay wouldn't let a opportunity like this go. "Yuko please reconsider, I mean the clans have only just made a treaty. You should at least mingle with some of the Clan's people to earn a reputation before training under someone like Midori-dono. Plus you would get a chance to understand the Senju, and for us to understand the Hyuga." Sanjay tried to persuade using logic.
While he spoke Yuko examined the wounds, it was a kind jester. Sanjay found respect for her, surely they would get along. He reached inside his back pouch as he pulled out bandage wrap which he always carried as he sat down on the grass and began to patch himself up. He wanted to train as soon as possible. He needed some new jutsus, especially after this fight since he noticed his lack of techniques.
"Well Yuko, if you want.... lets train together, Dengen could teach us. I really need to learn some new Suiton techniques, and Im sure Dengen knows genjutsu. He is after all a trickster." Sanjay reinforced his arguement.

"Gen-the-what's-it?"
The talk the two genin had among themselves left Dengen looking bewildered and confused. He looked around, as Yuko bandaged Sanjay, scolding them lightly.
"Wait what? I didn't play too roughly!! Honest, first it was Neko-neechan, oh wait, Neko-neechan is rough and tough like a boy. Surely you could keep up with my stamina, gentle or not. Besides I can be gentler... hehehe sort of."
It was obvious that he completely missed his own unintended innuendo. He put his hands on his hips and gave a highly arched eyebrow and a very serious far off gaze.
"Come on, if you try hard enough Nee-chan I just know you can play long an hard with me. I know it could be endurance training."
Just goes to show, that some kids say the darnedest things.

"Well, well. Looks like we're all here. Hey there kiddo. Been showing the new recruits the ropes have ya? Sorry to say that there won't be much time to rest or train right now; your teams chunin is on her way and we will get started."
A sudden torrent of purple smoke spun in a gusty frenzy, creating the familiar old man in front of them. Though this time something was off, he was standing up straight, strained even. As if something was bothering him.

His Berth, it rocks, heave ho, heave ho,

Like Jona will be swallowed whole
and spat back teeth and bones.Yuko HyugaYuko smiled and waved her hand in a dismissing manner. “No, no… you misunderstand, I’m not going to try and train directly under Midori-dono and I’m just hoping that she was able to teach me a technique to use. That’s all. Besides, I’m already kind of on a team… sorta… actually I’m more of a floater when it comes to teams. I more or less fill a rolls to even out teams and bump up their numbers to a function squad till they get assigned someone new or someone better fitting for the mission.”
It was kind of hard to explain but that’s that the way that Yuko saw herself so far in the clan, she was kind of the person who filled in for a while before they were placed into a more permanent team. Yuko looked over to Dengen when he stated his peace. She smiled brightly and pointed over to the child when he confirmed he knew nothing about genjutsu.
“And that is the reason why Midori-dono would be the better one to teach me.” When he continued, however, her cheeks turned a little pink and she scratched the side of her face with a dejected expression. “I… think that we need to get you to away from Zasso-sensei and interacting with people your old age, kiddo.”
It was certainly awkward to say the least to have a small child make innuendo comments at you, whether he was aware of them or not. She made a mental note to try and keep him away from dirty old men in the future as much as she could. She was about to respond to the plea of working with them when Zasso himself came and informed them that they were going on a mission when their chunin came. They had chunin leading squads? Where was she when they were looking for suspects in the village the day before…
It was also noted that Zasso was so stiff that it looked like a good push would send him on his back in the same posture he was in now. Yuko wasn’t sure if she should be worried or not…
“Well, it looks like we’ll be going on a mission together, if anything that’s something like doing training… right…?”

Keruin Senju
Keruin walked through the tree's surrounding the training ground, her scythe propped up on her shoulder and a smile on her face. Her hair was pinned back into a ponytail for training purposes and several scars were visible along her arms, as though stitching had occurred earlier. She looked at everyone who was present with a curious look as none of them looked familiar. As she reached a close proximity to everyone, she planted her scythe's blade into the ground and spread her arms out in a stretch.
"How is everyone this lovely day." She asked during her stretch, looking at each member in turn.

His skin was filled with goosebumps, as he felt a ominous presence arrive at the scene. It was another girl about the age of Sanjay, but the aura around her was completely different. She was the chuunin squad captain Dengen had spoken about. She implanted her sythe into the ground with ease before stretching calmly. She then purposed a simple question while observing her team.
Sanjay decided to go ahead and answer,"Pretty good, kinda tired." He said with a smile. He tried to be friendly so he could see if his instincts were right. He knew not to judge someone without proper evidence, and gut instincts arn't always right. "By the way im Sanjay." He then introduced himself.

Like Jona will be swallowed whole

Yuko gave the girl a tired smile and turned to face her fully, bowing polite as she was custom to do whenever she met someone new. Yuko straightened up and tilted her head slightly to the side as she answered.
“I’m doing very well, thank you.” Yuko lied through her obvious visage of a rough night and troubled dreams. Though as with all Hyuga, she bore her troubles and pains stoically and with discipline. She felt no need to bring up nightmare and boogeymen that held no meaning for others. Though her dreams disturbed her she knew that dreams were just that and nothing more. Yuko mentally sighed though, she wondered how Uani and Inari were doing? Last she heard they were going on an important mission, but she didn’t know where they were or how they were doing. Her eyes dropped down to the ground somewhat. She wished that she was of more use so that she could have went with them, but it was apparent that she was below average for a genin. She couldn’t help it though… she hated combat and conflict, she never wished to attack or kill for the sake of anyone. But this was the life that she was dictated to have, and whether she liked it or not, this was her reality now and she was going to have to get used to it. She looked back at the Chunin that was now her superior with eyes that held her usual gentleness. Well, she was here to help the clan, it seemed that now she could make up for that last mission’s failure. Yuko Theme Hush love, hush love,

Keruin Senju
Keruin squatted down to bend her knees before raising herself once more. To be perfectly honest, she wasn't used to a team leading position and she'd probably screw up a few times, she had already accepted that fact. The team seemed well enough though, they all looked capable.
"Good to meet you both, my name is Keruin. I'm not gonna surprise anyone with anything outstanding as of yet." She said, putting a slight emphasis on "yet". "I'm nothing special when it comes to any ninjutsu or genjutsu, I can use the scythe in a tight situation but I have special fallbacks too. I'm a better talker than a fighter though, don't get me started or i'll never stop." She said with a chuckle.
"But Sanjay, I can feel your goosebumps. You're either very perceptive or very timid?" She said with a teasing grin.

Something was definitely off, Zasso wasn't joking and furthermore the cigarette that he always puffed so gently was fuming like a chimney. He walked briskly directly into forest on the closest outskirts of the village. Zasso said nothing more for about five minutes until they reached a clearing. Branches and twigs were broken and bents. Odd tracks of a creature with a large belly or a hindquarters that was drug along behind what ever was the source of locomotion.
There were holes in the ground all over as if someone had repeatedly stabbed the ground thusly no matter where the source of the carnage was brought about. There was a lithe form in a mask and tactical shinobi gear of an elite caliber. Nearly identical to Zasso's own but with less to give away any inkling of personality or identity. In the middle of it lay a middle aged man from the village with his throat ripped out. Face locked in fear, his body was colorless and drained of all blood, as a matter of fact so too was his body. It was more than lifeless in color, he was ashen and gray, eyes filled with a dull glassy color.
"This, is why we are here. This, is our mission now. All of you, tell me what you see."

Sanjay's face turned emotionless as things became serious rather quickly. It wasn't a joking matter that someone possible of high rank was killed in such a manner. The expression on the dead mans face explained how deadly of a threat he was up against. The body was rather grotesque and the surrounds were torn to bits. This definitely wasn't a mission that would be easy.
Even before Zasso asked the team to observe the scene Sanjay was up close scrutinizing what had happened. Sanjay was knelt on the ground as he turned to the direction of debris. "This was a surprise attack. The man judging was a local villager. He was probably on a regular route when he spotted something. It would only make sense that when your curious you would stop and look around the perimeter for signs possible threats. He probably made the mistake of getting off the vehicle, and that was when the enemy attacked. It would be very difficult to get such a clean shot to the neck." Sanjay explained the approach. He then turned the the body, "Judging by the blood and the fact that decomposition hasn't occurred yet the attack happened sometime last night. The attacker, by the looks of it only wanted the victims blood. Your probably going to think Im crazy, but I think we are up against a vampire or a giant blood sucking bat." Sanjay concluded his analysis sounding like a full fledged crime scene detective. Everything he learned from reading mystery books while being trapped a majority of his life.
He then stood up, and turned to the others. Hoping they would add in their input. Things were definitely going to get interesting. Sanjay gave a small smile because his first real mission was about to begin.

Keruin Senju
Keruin didn't show much of a reaction. The area was flattened from something large being dragged behind and it wasn't normal by any stretch of the sense. She crossed her arms and started looking around, nodding occasionally.
"Blood sucked out, throat RIPPED out, and an area flattened by something heavy as hell. I got nothing" She shook her head and shrugged before walking closer to the man. She placed her hand on the man's wound, looking at the others. "Look around the flattened areas and see if you can't make something out of it." She shifted her body to block the view of her arm as the stitching of her wrist broke open allowing several tendrils to delve into the man's wound, examining the area thoroughly.

and spat back teeth and bones.Yuko Hyuga”I see a crime scene that’s about to be contaminated by what I had for Breakfast this morning, for Pete’s sake Zasso-sensei, why are you bringing us here so soon after breakfast?” Yuko had to turn her head, closed her eyes and cover her mouth, taking deep breaths to try and tame the breakfast and bile that was trying to push its way out from her stomach in the shortest route possible. Ugh, she could have lived cheerfully for the rest of her life if she didn’t have to see this. How could the others be so… immune… Yuko didn’t want to look, she had no interest in observing a dead body up close and personal, and with her eyes closed it was obvious that she wasn’t going to be any use taking in the scene. Why were genin sent here to do this, this looked more like a jonin job to her, but here they were. Maybe Zasso was just giving them some training. Perhaps they didn’t have too many murders here? Regardless, it was apparent that Yuko wasn’t going to be looking at the crime scene any time soon. She did listen to both of them and Sanjay’s analysis of the situation.
”…But… if it was a bat, then why the tracks? … You know what, never mind, it was a giant bat that swooped down really, really fast and caught him by surprise. That sounds good to me, case closed, is someone going to pick up the dead body soon?”
Yuko was many things, a nurse, a motherly woman… a sailor… but a mortician and undertaker she was not. Yuko had yet to turn her head towards them, let alone open her eyes to see anything, her Byakugan would likely make some fast work of things but it was apparent that she wasn’t going to be using it any time soon.
What was Zasso thinking bringing a lady such as herself here for this? If she would have known that Zasso was going to drag her over to a dead, mutilated body she would have very politely told him to pound sand up his a** and then went to find Midori so that she could learn about sound genjutsu…
She wasn’t going to use her Byakugan… nope… no way… Zasso couldn’t make her… Yuko Theme Hush love, hush love,

"Very astute of you Keruin, something that does seem to carry more weight than anyone of us alone, or at least have enough strength crush the the underbrush, as someone like you or me would do to the grass and twigs beneath our feet."
The fact that she was giving the others directives was impressive, not many assumed the mantle of leadership this quickly. It was Yuko, the Hyuga, that made him frown once she response. Bodies were not something she was too accustomed to, lucky girly. Unfortunately they were in a war and she would get over that very quickly.
"Excellent observation Yuko and with such a brief glance to boot. Well Sanjay, you certainly get points for originality, however, look again to the surroundings versus the cause of death more closely. See there, none of the branches up above are disturbed, and there is no feasible way that something so large with an equally large wingspan would be able to take off to roost without leaving a trace in the canopy. Yuko is quite right, the tracks do not match up with a bat, and I am going to pretend you did not mention something that sparkles."
He seemed rather serious and annoyed over his last comment to Sanjay, but still he smoked on and stood erect while he awaited the genin to carry out Keruin's orders.
"I am sorry to disturb you with the death of one of our own Ms. Hyuga, however, this is an active crime scene. The body will not be dealt with until all the evidence is collected and accounted for. As the representative of your village and ambassador, I thought it would be important for you to see the way we conduct an investigation. Considering this is the first time we have had the need to for a civilian in over a decade. We are a bit understaffed however, isn't there a faster way of observing all of the evidence? I mean it isn't like we can see all around us at once right?"
For the first time since they got here, he smiled. Though it looked a bit more sinister than usual. Zasso was bating the girl, trying to gauge her mettle and see what it is she would do, whether not she would face her discomforts for the sake of the mission, or if she would refuse and pray that the team found another means of gathering the evidence.
