A new day (Open)

[Jinno]

Rei had woken early today, she had recently managed to pass her graduation exam from the Ninja Academy and was now a fully fledged genin! The young girl had been quite excited to tell her father the good news, only to find he had been sent on a mission that day, and he hadn't even waited to see if she had passed. Her brother on the other hand had congratulated her. He even decided to take her out to get ramen that night. Today though, she was going to train and try and hone her skills so that when she met her team the next week she wouldn't let them down like she feared that she would.

She had been training for the past hour and already she had some scratches and cuts from where she had been attempting to learn the tree climbing technique. It was much harder than she had first thought it would be. The tree itself scarred with broken bark and cuts to show her progress up it's length. For now it seemed she was almost half way. Though after her last attempt, she hadn't bothered to get back up, laying down to stare up at the morning sky and rest for a while before she would continue her training.

Kai woke with a start on the roof he trained on last night. He stared up at the sky and smiled happily. I'm a genin he thought to himself. He had graduated from the academy a couple of days prior. He got up and looked around to tackle the day. He walked around a bit making small talk with the some of the villagers. He kept walking until he found his favorite spot to relax. He got to the forest and lay down to look at the clouds

Kai was looking forward to being assigned a team and decided to do a bit of training. He had been training for the past couple of hours to get better at his earth style jutsu. "Gotta get stronger. Kai said to himself. He trained for 30 more minutes and decided to walk around the forest. He noticed a girl training in the forest and watched her lie down, "Wonder who she is?" Kai said to himself

[Tenebris]

Risuku walked down the path, through the trees towards the training field. He’d just recently graduated the academy, and was planning on spending this morning training. His mother and sister where both proud, though his farther was still away on a mission and could only guess if his son had passed or failed yet.

He still wore a mild smile across his pale face as he wandered into the field. He turned his head to see Duko beside him, though the snake held no expression he could feel its positive feelings. Not only was Duko proud that they’d passed and its master was now a genin, But he’d finally managed to evolve for the first time just soon after. It bared its fully grown and deadly fangs proudly with a wide mouth before folding them back in when it noticed Risuku smirking at it.

His smile faded as he heard the sound of someone training. His foot steps lightened a little as he entered the field and hoped to pass her unnoticed until finding a different section to practice in. The girl looked familir, she was probably in his year, but he couldn’t say anything beyond that.

As he walked Duko also saw the practicing girl. If the snake could smile it would have as it realized how Risuku was attempting to avoid interaction. It then lifted its head up and gave a rather loud "HISSSS!" the moment he did that he felt many orders of silence flow though its spine from Risuku who span his head around to glare at the snake disapprovingly.

[Jinno]

Rei was just happy laying down not doing anything right now, her everything hurt and she would really rather leave and rest up before she hurt herself too bad. That was at least until she heard a hiss break the silence. To which she rolled over onto her stomach to look at what was going on back there. "Oh, Risuku-kun... what are you doing here?" Despite being the least known student (now genin) around Konoha, it was hard to not notice Risuku and his snake, it wasn't something one could hide easily after all. The girl slowly picked herself up from the ground and brushed herself off a little as she waited for a reply, eyeing that snake somewhat as she still hadn't gotten used to the thing, even with all the time she had spent in his class.

[Kaizuka Niigata]

Kai saw the two people talking and was thinking of whether or not to introduce himself. Kai was not very good at making friends and kinda nervous around new people. The snake kid made Kai hesitant to walk over to them. Kai was really considering to go back to sleep but hardened his resolve

"Time to make some new friends." Kai whispered to himself. Kai looked back up from his thoughts and saw that the girl was up. " Now or never" Kai walked over to the two slowly and got close enough to hear them talking. " Um....Hi there. I'm Kaizuka" Kai stuck his hand up and gave them a small wave

[Tenebris]

Risuku sighed as he realized he did know this girl, she’d been in a few classes with him, she was also one of the more kinder students, this put him at a bit of ease. "Hello… Ree,? Rain? Oh! Rei." Se said as he remembered her name. "I was, just coming here for practice, there’s not a whole lot else this area is intended for." He looked over to see the several cuts made in the tree she’d been attempting to clime and smiled, that wasn’t a jutsu he was jet familiar with, but he did know a similar one, "Impressive." He said motioning to the tree.

Duko turned his head when he heard the sound of Kai approaching before either of the humans did. Risuku then turned to look as well when he heard him call out, "Risuku." He replayed, "Are you here for practice as well?"

[Jinno]

Rei nodded at Risuku "I've been trying for the last hour" she said, looking up to the tree and her marks in it, then the marks on her... It was probably lucky the tree couldn't fight back, she was going bad enough as it was. It was then that Kai approached them, though this was one person she really didn't know at all. "Oh, hello. I'm Rei" she nodded, bowing slightly as she did so. It was always nice to meet new people. After all, they wouldn't know right away as to how much she ended up hurting herself with all these accidents.

[Kaizuka Niigata]

"I was training earlier and decided to wander around." Kai brought his hand down and smiled at the two people. "Pleasure to meet you both. You got pretty far up Rei." Kai was getting more relaxed around the two and turned toward Risuku. "That's a pretty cool snake Risuku."

Kai looked at the snake and smiled nervously "So what did you guys want to do" These are some pretty cool people Kai thinks to himself. Kai looks at them both and walks closer. " This is a good day so far. It would be a shame to waste it" Kai hopes they want to be friends with him seeing as how he had to muster up the courage to talk to them

[Tenebris]

At hearing himself complemented, Duko lifted his head up proudly, obviously understanding exactly what Kai meant. "Uhh, thanks. His name’s Duko."

At the question, Risuku looked around and at the other two ninja, "Well Duko and I had just came here for some training. Though it seems like you two have both already been doing that." He seemed to consider things for a moment, "So I take it you’ve both just became genin?"

[Jinno]

Rei nodded "Yeah, I guess... I still have a while to go yet though" She looked up at the tree to see how far she had to continue. "Mhmm" she answered the older boy's question. After all it was true, she knew that Risuku had graduated, and this other boy must have as well. "Well, I'm not sure, I was going to see if I could finish climbing this tree but I don't mind" training with some other shinobi could help out quite a lot.

[Kaizuka Niigata]

"Yeah I'm a genin" Kai looks at the tree again and remembers his own attempts at tree climbing. "Did you want to train some more. It might be good to practice together." Kai looks at Risuku and Rei "Is there anything you guys wanted to do specifically"

Kai smiles again at the two other genin. these guys are nicer to a total stranger than most would be Kai thinks to himself. He looks up at the clouds again

[Tenebris]

Risuku nods at the two other genin, "Well…" He says as he begins to consider. He wasn’t planning on training with others this morning, but it might add an extra level of competitiveness if he could work with these two. "We could have a race, or practice tree climbing, though I’m not familiar with that jutsu I know another which works almost as well. Or we could always try some combat training." He added the last part with a smile, causing Duko to also perk up again at the prospect of a chance to try his fangs out, though he quickly felt Risuku advising him against something like that.

[Jinno]

"That's a great idea, we could all learn from each other right?" she smiled at the suggestion. After all, she knew that it would be good to train with her fellows and to learn from them. Though she didn't feel like she had much to bring to the table either. "I'm up for anything" she shrugged. Leaving it up to the other two to decide what they were going to be doing to train. She never was good at making up training ideas.

[Kaizuka Niigata]

"I guess we can race. From where to where?" Kai looks in the distance for a good finish line. Kai gets a competitive look on his face. "I am ready whenever you guys are" Kai looks at the other two and thinks to himself finally something to get serious about. Kai starts to smile at the thought of having good friends to race with. Kai makes up his mind " Let's do it!"

[Tenebris]

"Okay" says Risuku with a smile, "We can race from here to Ichiraku’s." He turned looking towards the gate through the trees that exited the training field, already considering the fastest way, "Why don't we make things a little interesting?… Last one there has to buy ramen for the other two." He turned his head back to Kai and Rei, crossing his arms as he did so, "What do you guys think?"
