The Yamada Household

"Nori! Hurry up you're going to be late!" Nori Yamada's mom called up the stairs to her youngest daughter. Nori, a young girl of 15, had woken up late that morning having gone off and done a little extra training in preparation for today. It was finally the day that she would be meeting her squad for the first time, so she was anticipating just who she was getting placed with. "I'm cominggggg!" she called back to her mom from her room as she finished getting ready. She threw on a pair of black, cargo shorts, a burgundy tank top, and a pair of worn out shoes that she used only when training. She tossed her hair up into a ponytail and put on a black wristbands on each of her wrists before she hurried out of her bedroom and down the stairs. Her mom, already knowing how her daughter was, was at the door with a homemade bento and a few pieces of toast and an apple. "You better hurry. You don't want to keep your new squad waiting."

"Yeah yeah. I know. I'm sorry. I slept in on accident," Nori said as she took the bento and toast from her mom and opened the door. "Thanks for this. I'll see you later." Her mom nodded and Nori hurried out the door with a piece of toast in her mouth. It was about ten minutes later that she finally arrived on the training grounds. She saw two of her squad members already there and from this distance, she didn't recognize them. Then again, the guy with his back turned to her looked kinda familiar. Or at least his walking posture was. She would have to see his face first to make sure. "Sorry I'm late, guys!" she called out to them and hurried over to them.

Nanami seems really into her training. Her comrades watching her would see as her hair would whip into the empty spaces in between the flames and wind. Her leg and arm follow suit. nanami dances through the mini tornado that surrounds her. But eventually her chakra slips enough to where she can't effectively control the jutsu and her body. Nanami comes to a stop and without realizing it forgets to keep the chakra on her feet maintained and falls into the water with a small yelp.

Nanami comes back up to the surface and that's when she notices the rest of her team was all watching her, she dips her head under the water. Blushing with embarrassment from falling in the water. Nanami's head sinks into the water, to where just her nose and eyes were above the water line. She waves at everyone..

  Sigmund watched the whole event unfold. He watched in awe for the whole thing until his team mate seemed to struggle with the chakra control and she eventually fell into the water. At that point, he just smirked and turned to his other squad mate. Great. I'm surrounded by women. He sighed and waited patiently for their jonin to show up hopefully. He couldn't help but at least worry about the girl though.

  He moved towards the pool of water and squatted, his arms resting on his knees and looked at her. "You okay?" he asked her quietly.

Nori stopped in her tracks as she watched, what was assumed to be her other teammate, dance within the small tornado that surrounded her. Part of her was in awe at the sight and the other part of her couldn't help but actually wonder if she was just showing off. Either way, she seemed interesting enough. She couldn't wait to see what else she was capable of. When she saw her male teammate look at her, she just stared at him. Wait a minute. Wasn't that the loner guy from the class next to her's at the academy? Akitoki or something, right? So he was going to be on this squad, too, huh? She didn't know too much about him, but was curious to know more.

It was then her attention was diverted to her female teammate lose control of her chakra and fall into the water. She set her bento down on the ground and went over to where her fallen comrade was. She also knelt down beside the male. "Yeah. Are you alright?" she asked before she extended a hand out to the girl. "That was a pretty nasty fall. Come on. Let's get you out of here before you catch a cold, huh? Can't catch one of those now, can we?"

Nanami accepts her hand and with Nori's help, she gets up out of the water. She takes care not to get her teammates wet. Nanami steps back and bows "I am Nara Nanami." She holds her hand out to Nori and her other hand to Akitoki. She was all smiles and quite chipper. Even after falling into the pond.

Nori wrapped her fingers around Nanami's hand and helped pull her out of the water before she let go of it. When the girl bowed at them, she couldn't help but blink at her. "Oh, uh, yeah. Hey. I'm Nori Yamada. Nice to meet you," she said and took hold of her hand again to shake it. She wasn't used to people being so nice to her much less come near her. People were always so intimidated to come near her, but she was always so fairly receptive towards others. True she did like to get into fights every now and then, but it was only when she felt she had to. It wasn't as if she just went up to people and started fights with them. That wasn't who she was, but she seemed to be perceived as such.

  Sigmund moved aside to allow room for Nanami to get pulled out. Once on her feet, she had extended both her hands out to them and greeted herself with her name as did his other female mate, Nori.
He sighed quietly to himself before he extended his arm out and shook Nanami's hand. "Sigmund," he said quietly as he retreated his arm to his side. Now that the introductions were out of the way, he yet wondered where on earth was their Jonin.

Nanami bounces around both of them, she exceedingly excited to meet both of her teammates. She peers at Sigmund "The quiet tough guy, hmmm.." She looks around for where she placed her pack "Almost forgot, father packed snacks." she holds out a sweet bean bun to each of them. Even with her hands full, her mouth holds the bun she had taken for herself. It would be quite a silly sight. But this is just how she is.

Nori watched Nanami bounce in excitement around them and couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow at her. She certainly was all peppy and cheerful, wasn't she? It was foreign to her. She had never been around someone like that before. She had met people that were rowdy and annoying and she could only hope that this girl wasn't like that. She seemed nice enough. She then looked over to Sigmund. Him. He seemed like the quiet type that rarely spoke, which was cool. Kinda made him mysterious in a sense. Nori's eyes turned towards Nanami again and looked down to the sweet bean bun that was offered to her. Her eyes slightly widened as she reached out and gently took it from the girl's hand. "Oh, uh, t-thank you. I actually really love these," she said.

Akuma smiled as he saw that the three students had finally started to warm-up to each other. Hopefully this meant that they would quickly learn how to work as a team. He started to stand when he saw one of the students pull out some sort of food. His eyes widened and his stomach rumbled loudly. If only he had actually ate before leaving the house this situation would be avoidable. All he could hope for now is that she would have brought enough to share with the class.

Upon this thought he stood on the edge of the building looking over his students. Then he jumped to the lake. As he landed on the water he focused chakara to his feet and landed quietly behind Nanami.

"I hope you brought enough for the class, because I am famished. Honestly, you would be surprised what forgetting to eat breakfast would do. I would not advise it at all. As a matter of fact that's lesson number one. Always eat at least 2 full meals a day. You'll need it."

Nanami looks back at the man, she was munching on the bun as she kept looking at him "So.." she mumbles as she munches on the bun. She tosses him one. nanami goes back to looking at Nori and Sigmund. She takes the bun out of her mouth "These are my favorites to.. I am learning how to make them."

She looked further into her pack "Of course father would make sure I have these awful tasting things." She takes a small baggie "Energy and chakra pills. He says I must take them daily in order to become strong." She winces as she eats them "Uck.. but he is right. It has boosted my chakra.. Mother made me eat them to. So I imagine they are a necessity." She then smiles at all of them.

  Sigmund had only shook his head to the offer of food. Sweet treats were not hot thing, especially this early. After declining Nanami's offer, a strange man had decended onto the water from above and literally "walking on water." Sigmund knew how to do that. The trick was focusing chakra to the soles of your feet and evenly balanced it.

  When the Jonin advised to always have breakfast, he rolled his eyes. He rarely ever ate breakfast. He never felt the need for it actually. He always woke up too late to have such things. He eventually started to listen to Nanami talk away. She was quite the chatter box he thought. Oh well he thought as he shrugged his shoulders to himself.

At suddenly seeing a man appear behind Nanami, Nori slightly jumped back and took her fighting stance, but when she heard him speak, he had to be the Jonin for the squad. She had never really seen him before, but he must have known what he was doing if he was going to be teaching them. She smirked. She couldn't wait. "Nice for you to join us, sensei," she said before she looked over to Nanami as she ate what appeared to be some pills. They were energy and chakra pills? She blinked. "Hey, uh. Can I try one of those?" she asked, pointing to the bag she was holding.

He quickly catches the bun and begins to eat it. Only one of the three seemed to pick up that he was going to be their teacher. Or perhaps the other two did notice and simply didn't care. Either way he was going to get their training started. He wanted to get through this step and soon as possible and get them started on missions.

"I'm glad you've all gotten to know one another." He managed to mumble between bites. "I am going to be your squad leader. We're going to train today so I can gauge your abilities."

He walked off the water and and stood in the center of the small grouping. He turned around and looked each of them over slowly. Then he smiled gently and let out a quick chuckle.

"I'd also like to let you know that this is my first time training a squad of Genin. Hopefully we will all be able to work together and get through this safely."

Nanami looked at the man "You are one of two things. Our captain, or a hentai." She laughs and smiles. Making sure people knew she wasn't being serious. She continued to munch on her pastry. Nanami finishes her breakfast "You seem awfully new at this. I guess we all are though."

She smiled again "So what do you have in store for us? The bell test, target practice, visual practice?" She went on to list another three or four things before being quiet. Nanami blinks "Oh yeah sorry Nori.. I have spare energy pills, but my father rations out the chakra pills. The energy ones have nearly four hundred percent of all of the vital daily vitamins. If you want, I can inquire with father about getting an extra ration of the chakra pills?" She tosses one to Nori..

   Sigmund had just stood there quietly, hands in his pockets, and an expressionless face on. He wasn't pay attention to either of the girls the moment the Jonin has appeared. Nori had called him sensei so Sigmund assumed that this man was their squad leader.

  Sigmund looked him up and down with his eyes, coming to the conclusion that he was awfully young and didn't seem too far from his age at all. His thoughts were confirmed when their sensei said this was his first squad he had ever trained. Great. He's new to this just as we are. Hopefully things will go smoothly. he thought to himself.

  The girls continued to chat away and Sigmund honestly only wanted to start this already. He swallowed hard and barely above a whisper, he said,"What's are training for the day? I'm ready to get this started." He came off almost as impatient and he didn't mean to.

Nori bit into the bun that Nanami had given her as her eyes followed their squad leader come into the center of the small circle they had formed. So he was going to be heading this little group of theirs, huh? This was going to be interesting. He couldn't have been too much older than they were. She was curious to know what kind of insight this person could give to them. She was more than ready to show just what she was capable of. She had been training for this day and finally all her hard work was going to be paying off.

"Well, you are doing a good job so far, sensei. You managed to test our detection skills by keeping yourself hidden away like that," she said with a small smirk before she heard Nanami speak to her again. She turned her head and reached up her free hand to catch the energy pill the girl tossed at her. "Thanks, Nanami." She smiled and popped the pill in her mouth before she went back to eating her bun. Her eyes slowly averted back to Sigmund that had spoken up before she looked back to the man that was going to be their squad leader. "Ummm...I think before anything, shouldn't we know your name first, sensei? You know, just so we know what to call you," she said as she slightly tilted her head to the side.

The jonin smiled as he finished eating the bun. Then he stood a little bit taller.

" I'm glad you believe that I'm doing a good job and I do hope that we shall work together quite smoothly. As to what your training for today will be? I wouldn't place a single activity or test before any others."

He walked back onto the water and motioned for the three genin to join him.

"The three of you are going to run laps on the lake as a warm-up"

Players roll a 1D20 to see if you succeed in walking on water.

Odds mean you are unsuccessful to perform the walking on water task.

Evens mean you are successful to perform the walking on water task.

Akitoki Sigmund rolled 2 using 1d20.

   Sigmund was excited to expressed his skills finally. He took his hands out of his pockets and made the simple sign. He put his feet close together and focused his chakra to the soles of his feet. He concentrated hard and when he finally felt both his feet had an even amount of chakra, he opened his eyes and walked forward. He slowly placed one foot onto the water's surface and his foot was literally hovering over the water. He placed his other foot onto the water too and he stood there. Once he knew he was okay and balanced, he walked forward towards his Sensei and was literally walking on the water's surface. He was ready to start running his laps. He kept his concentration of chakra on his feet.

(21:10, Today: Nara Nanami rolled 11 using 1d20.)

Nanami steps back out onto the water and falls right back in "Ehehe I guess practicing like that wasn't a good idea before training.." She gets out of the water and sits thinking on what she did wrong.

Nori Yamada rolled a 4 using 1d20

It looked like Nori was finally going to be able to show off a little of her skills. She finished up her bun and walked close to the water's edge. She brought up her hands and let out a small sigh as she closed her eyes. She put her feet close together and let her chakra flow to the soles of her feet before she placed one foot on the water's surface and then the other, letting herself hover over the water. While keeping the chakra to her feet, she took a deep breath and released it before she opened her eyes and made her over to their sensei.

Akuma watched as two of his three students managed to walk onto the water. He turned to them first and spoke quickly.

"You two are run 10 laps. If you fall into the water you may begin where you left off. If you fall again you run another 5 laps."

Then he turned to Nanami and reached down his hand to assist in helping her from the water.

"I saw you perform this task only minutes ago. So I assume you do have a grasp on how to do it."

Nanami nods and takes their Sensei's hand "Yeah, I tend to be much better at controlling my chakra flow when I am alone. For some reason it waivers when I have to do it around people." She climbs up onto the shore and sits for a moment "Also the others running may have left, chakra floating and it threw me off.. But who knows." She stands and shakes her hair free of water, probably dousing Kenji with some drops of water "Want me to try again?"

   Sigmund nodded his head and began running his laps once he was accompanied by Nori. He began running, pacing himself. He knew training was going to take a lot of energy and he honestly was excited. Eventually through his second lap, his jacket became a problem so he took a small 3-second break to strip and toss his jacket onto the ground, leaving him with his white button up which he also stripped off, and was left in a black tank top with an upside down cross on it.

   It felt better without all the heavy clothing. He continued his laps without saying much to Nori. It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything but he was the silent shy type and was more focused on getting this done. After all, he viewed himself as the best and would continue to become the best.
