Team Meeting! (Team 8)

[Jinno]

Hinata had been rather nervous recently, she had been informed her first ever genin team was ready for her to teach and mentor. She wasn't sure she'd be quite assertive enough to really handle a team of youngsters, who tended to be more trouble than most adults first thought. Though she had been entrusted with the task and there wasn't any reason for her to fail. She had proven herself time and time again, with quite a few successful mission under her belt, so why should she be afraid of some damn genins? It didn't even make sense! Though, it was mostly failing to teach them well as to what she feared. Either way, here she was, waiting for her students to arrive at the training ground she had made sure was clear for the day, she wanted to test them out after all, not that she'd ever send them back to the academy. For now, she sat on a wooden bench, aside from the actual ground itself and watched the gate, it was actually a rather nice little spot here, it even had a small pond on one side. She already had some idea of what she could do after their introductions, but for now she needed some students before she could really do anything.

(I'll let a player post here)

[Shio]

The morning wind blew through Shio's hair as he walked towards the area that he'd been ordered to meet up. From what he'd heard, today was the day he was going to meet the team he was going to have to work with. Part of him wanted to be all cheery and cheeky, but he felt like that was out of his possibilities right now, like his personality wasn't his own. He neither felt scared, nor worried, nor excited like most of the other genins. He felt..... ready.
"Time to go meet the guys I'm going to have to deal with for god knows how long."

As he finally arrived, he saw the team leader was a Hyuuga and he sighed disappointedly. There were very few clans he straight out disliked, and the self-righteousness and self-serving attitude of the Hyuuga clan were the reasons that the Hyuugas were right up there on the "clans to avoid" list. Still, she was his new sensei and he didn't exactly have a say in the matter
"Morning, Ma'am."

Leaving the academy day behind him, the life of Ryochoku moved on, hopefully for the better. He walked his way to the meeting place, relaxingly and slowly. He was in no rush and he sure didn't bother to be there precisely on time. No one would really care about him being a few minutes late, at least he believed so. Well, it turned out that he was actually there on time. He entered the gathering, which so far only two more shinobis were there, and kept his mouth shut for now. He was never a talker and it's always a bad idea to talk too much in front of a senior or in this case, sensei.

Yumino watched from the outskirts of the clearing, his pupilless eyes watching the two other and Hinata, whom he recognised from the main house. A small smile flitted across his mouth. Another Hyuuga, well atleast I may not be as much of an outcast. He thought and started slowly walking towards the three of them, his eyes darting between them as he started looking over those whom he would be working with. Yumino's face was expressionless, nothing seemed to be worrying or bothering the archer nor did anything seem to be making happy or excited. On the inside it wasn't much different, he was a small bit excited about the fact that he would finally be able to do something worthwhile, hopefully even start earning some respect from his fellow Genin.

Yumino was in his basic apparel, iron grey trousers, a shirt, wristband and headband of the same colour, black belt and shows. His bow was stringed across his chest in a diagonal fashion over his quiver of arrows that was mounted on his back. He knew this was just a meet up but he had always been cautious and he would never be caught without his bow and arrows. As he finally arrived next to the other two Genin, he bowed to the sensei and stood, silent and waiting for whatever was going to be said next.[rand=134434592222670425763560846325855870217680672767214196759435053]

[Jinno]

Hinata didn't need to wait long at all to meet her team, they were all on time and almost arrived about the same time. Which was nice really, they were organized! Well at least they seemed organized. From what she could see, she didn't recognize any of them, apart from the young Hyuuga who had managed to get himself a bit of a reputation for using a bow instead of simply utilizing Jyuuken. Though she wasn't among those of the clan who really cared for this choice, too all their own. "Hello there. All of you" she said, standing up to face her students. It was all a little intimidating to say the least, even though they were just fresh genin. She hated talking in front of people like this.

"My name is Hinata, what are your names?" She asked, a good place to start, couldn't teach people without knowing their names. After all, she wanted to get to know them, they'd be learning and teaching her for quite a while now. So it was best to start on good terms with them all so they could be a good team!

[Shio]

Shio sank down to a sitting position with his knees extended infront of him, ready to jump up when needed.
"The name's Senju Shio, ma'am." He really didn't know what else to say, she hadn't asked very much and there was not much he could say unless he was asked. After all, you don't rant on to a teacher. He merely looked around, taking in who his follow team-members were. A bow-wielding Hyuuga and an unknown guy, he had no idea what the second one did, but from how weak he looked, he would put any money on non-confrontational Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.

[goliath764]

"Tenshu Ryochoku." Ryochoku said, the face not showing any emotion at all. He already read about his teammate and sensei at home last night. Information obtained through some "special method" was always useful, that was the only one thing he like about being a Tenshu really, the power. He really didn't have any friend in his academy day so both teammates were like all new and fresh. He didn't care though, why bother when you were there just for the job and nothing else. Also, being overaged for a fresh Genin sure wasn't something you would be proud of and making friends sure didn't look easy or simple to him.

He kept himself still on the position, waiting for the briefing to continue. His sensei was quite shy so he expected a slow pace introduction or talk. Not a very fun thing but it was okay. Why rush with life?

[Yoru Karimisa]

Yumino stayed standing, stock still, just his eyes darting from person to person as he watched Shio sit down and Ryochoku do the same as he was, when his eyes flicked to the sensei she was standing there, waiting for his name, Yumino couldn't decide whether he should just stay silent, doubtless she knew about him already but he would introduce himself for the sake of it. "I am Hyuuga Yumino, ma'am." He whispered out just before bowing to his teacher but after a good two minute pause where he stared straight into his teacher's eyes, looking for something..... anything to give away what they were doing next.

[Jinno]

Hinata smiled warmly, something not often seen on the face of any Hyuuga, though she put the names to memory as she decided what to do next... A little test maybe, which would certainly be a good idea to teach them something while doing it. "It's nice to meet you all, now, you see this pond over here" Hinata said, motioning for them to stand as she walked over to it. The pond she was speaking of was fairly deep and wide, it could barely be called a pond in fact, but regardless she went to it's edge. Without a seconds hesitation, she stepped out, her brilliant chakra control easily holding her above the surface. She would begin to take steps out into the middle of the small body of water before turning around to face her students. "Now, I'd like you all to try and follow me." she stated and waited patiently as she watched them follow, she didn't expect them to get it right the first time. Or even the second time. Walking on water was no easy task and was usually the first thing that any up and coming shinobi would learn.

[Shio]

Shio walked up to the pond's end, dipping his finger into the water, gauging the lake's temperature. It didn't feel TOO cold, but it wasn't exactly pleasant. A bad feeling surged across him, and he reached next to him, pulling a small stone. Tossing it in, he watched how deep it went, and noticed that it was so deep that he quickly lost sight of the stone. He looked worried for a second before standing up and throwing his great coat off behind him. He didn't need any extra weight pulling him down.
"I'll go first." He said, slipping his shoes off as well, standing bare foot infront of the pond. Putting one foot onto the water, he used the same chakra infusion technique that he manipulated to make his water-sword solidify. And, for a moment, it worked. He was able to walk on the water for around ten seconds. However, his chakra flow suddenly became imbalanced onto the balls of his feet, causing the front of his feet to fall into the water, surprising him enough to drop the chakra and fall properly into the pond.
" FRICK!" he called out, as he resurfaced, before swimming over to the edge of the pond, whereupon he shook his hair out like a dog.
"Ryo, you go next."

[goliath764]

Despite having a good grasp on chakra control, Ryo couldn't really stand on water very well and it was a countdown phase when he stepped on the water. His kimono suit was really a bad idea for water training but he really didn't have much of a choice now for that it was his sensei's command. He was right, it didn't take more than fifteen steps before he fell right into the water. The Tenshu proceeded to get up to the "shore" after that before giving the remaining teammate a "your turn" with a simple hand gesture.

[Yoru Karimisa]

Yumino watched the other two try and fail to walk across the water and he quickly thought up a plan. He walked right to the water's edge and stood stock still for about 5 minutes. It would seem to anyone else that he was just standing, staring at Hinata, his eyes twitching every now and again. What he was in fact doing was activating his Byakugan and looking at Hinata's chakra flow, noting exactly where she was putting all her chakra and how it was flowing. He took a deep breath after the intensive study of his sensei and tried his best to emulate the chakra flow of his teacher. He thought he had it down and slowly placed his foot onto the water and it held for a few seconds before his foot went in and soaked his leg, he grimaced and pulled his leg out of the water before removing his bow and arrows and placing them by the edge and trying to regulate his chakra flow. He used the skills he had been taught for using Jyuuken Ryuu but pushed his chakra to his legs and stepped out onto the water, which held his weight this time, and walked, he also held his arms out to stop what happened to Shio happening to him and he walked out, getting about 30 steps away from Hinata before his legs started shaking and he fell into the water, disappearing for a few seconds before rising again and swimming back to shore. "Your turn again Shio"

[Jinno]

Hinata smiled, even though they had failed they seemed to have the basic idea down. Of course, she noticed Yumino using his Byakugan in an instant. She admired his ideals, but maybe it would be cheating... But it wasn't a competition though so really there wasn't anything she could do about it. "That was an excellent first attempt, all of you. I'd like you all to try again, I'll watch more carefully this time" she nodded and activated her own bloodline limit. Now she was able to clearly see she could easily. She had a feeling their problem wasn't simply their level of chakra control, they just didn't know how to properly do so in this situation. She was beginning to think maybe this was a little advanced, the tree climbing exercise was far more suitable for beginners, but they seemed capable and if they could manage this then the rest of would be a breeze.

[Shio]

Shio nodded as Hinata approved of their efforts, and he decided that he should try it a different way. He could control small amounts of his chakra extremely well, so maybe if...... He hopped onto the pond, standing up right properly. Swapping legs, he managed to keep on the water properly. Now was the bit that he'd need to concentrate fully on. Pulsing it out of his other foot, he managed to stand on two feet, and walk around ten steps away from Hinata and bowed.
"How's this sensei?" He asked, before feeling his feet sink into the water
"well....... crud." he managed to get in before the chakra spread too thin and dunked him in the water.
God damn it this is cold. was the only real thought that went through his head as he swam back to shore.

[goliath764]

What a pointless exercise... Ryochoku didn't really like what Hinata was asking them to do right now. He saw no point in a second attempt, especially when he was very certain that he couldn't get it done by now and it would be one hell of a day if the Hyuuga girl would ask him to repeat until he get it done. He gave it another try though, this time rushing toward the the surface of the water and as expected, that didn't get it too far. Five huge steps and he dropped down into the water like a chunk of rock and that chunk of rock moved back to the land a while later.

His face was calm but he was pissed. The only sign of his emotion was the hatred layed inside the depth of his two red orbs."I have a question, sensei. Are we going to just try this walking on water thing until we succeed? Unless our first mission is on a place filled with water, I don't see why we need to know how to walk on water." And there's the first question to Hinata by her students.
