Hirako watched the children from the other side of the resturant. He had heard much of their conversation and was glad to see that they were getting along well. Hirako took a sip out of his ramen bowl. Hmm. They seem like a good group of kids. He thought to himself. But I'll still have to see how they work together. As he was thinking he stopped himself so he could look at the cute waitress. Then he remembered that he had things to do. Hirako got up and picked up his ramen bowl. He walked over to the kid's table and looked at what seemed to be the shyest one there, Ame, he thought he heard them call her.
"Hey kids, mind if I sit with you?" He asked in a kind tone.

Ame looked up to see another young man approach them. "Well Houka... looks like we've been attracting quite a few people, sure you can sit with us." She gave him a small smile and pointed to the other chair. With Ando nowhere to be found, now, she figured why waste the seat. They could pull another one out later.

Zanza peared up at the oversized man. He noticed Ame instantly trusted the geust. Something Zanza had out grown from when he was young. Zanza looked him over again and saw his head band. He was from iwa. perhaps Houka knew him. " mind if I ask your name? " Zanza said makeing eye contact.

Hirako smiled and took a seat. He slowly took a sip of his ramen bowl. Then he cocked an eyebrow at the boy sitting by him. Hirako chuckled slightly and took another sip. He lowered his bowl and took a deep breath before speaking.
"You know, it's polite to introduce yourself before asking someone's name." Hirako smiled at the boy. "But since you're so curious, my name is Isamu Hirako." He began taking a long drink of his ramen and continued until the bowl was empty. He looked at his empty bowl with a hint of disappointment in his voice. He exhaled deeply.
"But you may call me Sensei." He said with a smile. He looked back down on his empty bowl. "Who wants to buy me some more ramen?"

Zanza peared at the man with great distaste, for he disliked a compleat stranger had come to correct him. " Well Hirako Sensei, your one to talk about being polite. But i'm sure you exspected us to over look the fact that you invited yourself to our table without warning, though that seat had been reverved for anouther. " he said strikeing back at the man. " If you find that you must adress me, my name is Zanza." Zanza wasn't sure why, but something about this man irritated him.

Ame, slightly shocked by the exchange the two gave, tried to calm Zanza down. "Hey... dont be like that... we have plenty of room... dont let things irritate you so easily." Trying to be friendlier to sensei, she politely introduced herself. "I am Kumori Ame, nice to meet you. Though I already have a sensei..." She added the last bit with slight hesitation. She hadn't seen her teammates around in a while, her sensei too, she was hoping they weren't getting split apart.

Hirako looked at the boy with a smile. "Heh, aren't you a fiesty one?." He said with great delight. "But I suppose you make a good point. I apologize for my previous intrusion." He shook his head. "I suppose I should introduce myself formally." He said, rising from his seat.
He adjusted his headband on his forehead and put his empty bowl down.
"My name is Isumu Hirako, and I'm going to be the leader of your genin cell. I specialize in ninjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and taijutsu." He grinned. "I'm sorry for the delay in my arrival but I was... deterred." Hirako nodded at the children and then sat back down.
"Now if another indeed comes I shall pull up another seat." He then turned and looked directly at Zanza. "Nice to meet you Zanza, but I'd advise against speaking to your instructers in such a term. Many of our missions will involve respecting a leader of some sort and if you don't, you could fail the mission for us and in the more dangerous ones, you will die."
The smile rejoined his lips and he leaned back in his chair. "So... do you kids have a specialty of some sort?" He questioned happily.

Zanza sighed in disbeleaf. This man couldn't possibly be his true jounin intructor. Then the man told him he would die unless he learned to respect people. Zanza laughed at this, but used his hand to cover his mouth as he did so, tring to hold it back. " I have no trouble respecting those who earn it. But for someone to demand respect from me. " Zanza laughed once more. " Now that Hirako, is a joke. " Zanza turned back to Ame and said " So what were we talking about? " he said in an unuseualy dilightfull tone.

Ame went slightly red. How could he just ignore and dissrespect someone like that. "Ummm... we weren't really... on a topic... Perhaps we could answer his question...?" She didn't want to offend either person, but doing so was becomming increasingly difficult.

Hirako looked taken back for a moment. Why is this kid so cynical? He thought to himself. But then he shrugged. I suppose this is what I get for being so informal to the boy. I guess I might have to show them that I'm strong enough. Although I'd rather not. He sighed. But, getting strict seems to be the only option.
"Zanza." He said, the smile leaving his lips. "I am your teacher. I am a jounin. That means I've passed the genin exams. the chuunin exams, and I've done enough missions to be recognized for my skills." He stood up. "I've gone through hell multiple times and I've fought many powerful shinobi."
He pointed at himself with his thumb. "So, Zanza. You think I have to prove myself to you? You are the one who has to prove himself to have enough talent to be taught by me. You are a genin, which means you are not completely without merit, but if you can't follow orders and listen to authority," He paused and pointed directly at Zanza.
"You will not be fit to be a shinobi."
Then Hirako turned to Ame.
"Sorry about that, Ame. I'm actually not a bad guy. And yes, I am your new teacher, at least that is what I was told by the kage. I am the leader of the genin cell consisting of Zanza,Oyu Houka, and Ame Kumori."

Ame was shocked. "But... what happened to my team? Kairite-sensei... Maveric-kun and Takara-san. They are my team." What happened to them? Did they just disappear? Where is my team? Ame stared down at her food, there was no way that she could possibly lose the only family she had left...

Hirako noticed the girl's sadness. Hm. Maybe I should have broken it to her more softly. But how was I supposed to know her team had changed? Hirako crouched down next to her.
"Ame, I'm sorry but I don't know what happened to your last team. I have a list of the teams here," He reached back into his bag to pull out a scroll and unfolded it. "And I don't see A Maveric or Takara anywhere on it." He sighed. "However I do see a Karite teaching the team of Katagi Zuimishi, Katare Niboshami, and Muramasa Kanahara."
He shook his head and put the scroll back into his bag. "After we are done today, if you wish we can head to the kage's office together and ask about this." He said with the most reassuring smile he could muster. "I'm sure your friends are fine, Ame. Have courage."

Zanza was becomeing more iritable by the second. What a poser he thought to himself while choseing his next words wisely. " See here Hirako Sensei. The exams you've passed don't impress me, nor dose your rank. And your not the only person at this table to have leaped in between deaths door on more than one ocassion. You'll get my repsect by giveing respect. One thing most adults of high rank fail to do. " he said and turned to ame. " Don't worie Ame, I'm sure they are fine. They might have just split ya'll up to get more work done. It happend to my last team in Kusa. " he then turned to face hirako, but still directed the next coment to Ame. " Back when I had to fight alone because the village was too small to take all the missions. And they had to classify B and high ranked missions as C rank because of the amount of A ranked the few jounin had to take."

Ame just shook her head. "Forget about it. It doesn't matter... I should be used to stuff like this happening..." She continued with her meal to keep herself from speaking further. There was no point to ask... it had already been done, she had no power to change it. Though she wondered if her sensei knew... perhaps her could get them all back together...?

Hirako stood back up and stared right at Zanza. For a moment he looked angry but his face softened. "Alright Zanza. I'm sure you will see a reason to respect me as we work together. Right now, you don't have to respect me. But you do have to follow my orders. That is the rule, I'm afraid." He smiled at the three of them. "I'm sure we will learn to trust eachother. We will have to because before long, our lives will be in eachother's hands."
He looked up. "Teamwork is giving someone the power to hurt you terribly." He said before looking back on at the two of them. "And hoping that they don't do so. You must trust eachother enough as if they are holding your heart in their hands."
Hirako gave a thumbs up to the two of them. "Just so you know. I respect you both right now. I will give my life to protect any of you."
He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "But... lets hope it never comes to that."
