The fresh genin had been allowed a week off from their studies after they day the graduated. So they could recuperate and maybe meet some of their comrades outside of a more structured and formal situation. Though that time was now over, and the students had all been given their teams, or at least they had been told where they would be meeting their new sensei for their very first mission. Team 5 had been ordered to meet near the gates of the city, on a tall building that overlooked the forest that surrounded it. They hadn’t been told who it was that was going to be instructing them, nor had they been informed as to whom their new team mates were going to be. Or even what their first task was going to involve. It was all quite a bit of mystery to surround something like meeting a genin team.
It was quite a nice morning to start actually; the sun was shining over the village, warming the young shinobi as they made their way to the top of the stairs. Waiting for them was a young man with short, jet black hair. He wouldn’t turn around as soon as he heard footsteps but rather wait for all three of his charges to arrive until he would turn about and introduce himself. Though there was one thing that could possibly help them identify him, and it was the white and red clan symbol of the Uchiha clan. Despite the clan itself retaining its former penchant for producing talented shinobi, the village thus far hadn’t allowed any of them to train their younger generation. He would have to be quite the special case it would seem.
Meanwhile, Rei was busy attempting to get to the meeting place. After all, she didn’t want to be late for her first mission. She ran through the empty streets towards the gates of the village. If she was lucky she wouldn’t get held up and maybe she’d get a good standing with whoever their sensei was going to be. For now though, that was something she would need to worry about in the future.

Kai was walking to the gate where he was supposed to meet with the team's new sensei. "I wonder what he is gonna be like." Kai was anxious to get there and meet the team he had been assigned to. He had spent the night training and actually managed to make it to his house. Kai had eaten a bowl of ramen that morning. He got to the gate and noticed the tall building where they were supposed to meet their new sensei. Kai started climbing up the stairs and looked at the other genin walking around. "Wonder which of them will be on my team." Kai got to the top of the building and noticed one thing about the man standing there. He had an Uchiha clan symbol on his back

Risuku slowly walked through the street towards the building they where meant to meet. Duko was lazily draped over his shoulders, rather then holding himself up around Risuku like he usually did. The effect almost made him look like a normal snake, if it wasn’t for the fact his tail disappeared under Risuku’s kimono and his white scales that matched Risuku’s complexion.
The Nagara genin had just made it to the building and was looking up its entirety when Duko turned to see Rei approaching. Risuku then turned his head to see the fellow Genin coming with a slightly less interested air about him then the snake, "Rei?… Are you here for team 5 as well?"

The man didn’t shift as the younger boy approached, his team wasn’t there left after all. Instead he continued his silent vigil over the village as he did so. He had a feeling it wasn’t going to be long now though. And he’d be right, Rei met Risuku near the stairs leading up towards the roof. ”Oh, hello Risuku-kun. Yeah, are you?” It was a silly question but it was nice to know she had someone who she knew on her team… sort of. ”We should go up” She nodded and began to climb the stairs to meet with their new sensei.
When she moved to the top though, she noticed that Kai was here too, this was far better than she had originally thought. It looked like she had a really good team here, though her blood began to chill as she looked forward to see who their sensei was. The uchiha clan crest an enlarged version of the one of her shoulder. She wasn’t exactly the most praised among her clan. In her shock she froze as he turned around, his face showing a friendly grin.
”You’re on my team Rei?” The voice snapped her out of her trance. ”M-mugen? What are you doing here”

Kai looked at the other two genin. "You guys are a part of team 5?" Kai looks at Rei and Kisuku. "Wait you two are related?" Kai looks at their sensei and walks over to his team. "This should be interesting." Kai lays on the ground and relaxes. "So what did you have planned for us first sensei Mugen"

Risuku looked back and forth between the two Uchiha’s with forrowed eyes, "What? Do you two know each other?" He asked inquisitively. It was looking like not only one of their genin, but their sensai was also going to be from the Uchiha clan. They where renowned for a Kekkei Genkai as powerful as his own clan’s, possibly even more so. Also, thanks to the betray of their clan in the past, they where as entrusted by most of the village as the Nagara.
As Risuku contemplated the implications, Duko simply sloped on his master’s shoulders. Rather unfazed by the situation, though watching it with some interest like one might watch a bad sop opera.

Mugen nodded, he seemed rather cheerful considering his clan's background and usual solemn brooding mood. "I didn't think they'd put my little sister on my team though. Oh well! My name is Uchiha, Mugen. And you guys are my test" he grinned. "To get my official Jounin title, I need to get you guys fit and ready for the up and coming chuunin exams. Any questions?" he took a seat on the edge of the building. Only to see one of his students just lay down. "Come on kid, get up, this isn't the time to sleep." He rolled his eyes before continuing to answer his question. "We've got a mission today, we're finding some old woman's cat. It went missing just outside the village. Something easy to start with." with that he waited for the others to ask their own questions.
Rei had nothing to say, she was a bit confused as to why her brother hadn't informed her of his little test here, or the fact he was taking her team. Possibly it was an order from the Hokage or something along those lines. For now, she would simply wait to see what was going to happen next, happy with a nice easy mission to start with.

Kai gets up when their sensei calls on him. "We have to rescue a cat. Okay." Kai looks at the other two genin and smiles. "Do you know exactly where the cat went missing sensei." Kai asks wanting as much info as possible on the mission. "Don't want to go in blind sensei." Kai thinks to himself that this should be an easy mission

Risuku regarded the mission description silently. It was typical of a genin squad and he knew it. Though there was one thing that was bothering him, he moved forward and brushed a hand in front of Kai, "One moment." He said, starring at the chunin ninja, "Forgive me, Mugen ‘Sensai’ But this is the first I’ve ever heard of a chunin being placed as leader and teacher of an all genin squad, little though a squad straight from the academy."
He folded his arms and looked at Mugen straight in the eyes coldly, "While I’m sure you’re skill far exceeds all of our own combined, I’d much rather receive my training from a proper Jounin, not a Chunin. Little though a Chunin who needs to go through some kind of special test to even be called a Jounin." He turned to look at Rei before looking back at Mugen, "And that's ignoring your possible emotional attachment to one of our members."

Mugen smiled "No idea kid, she's a Tabby cat and she's somewhere out in the forest. She shouldn't be too hard to find. It'll be a good test for your tracking skills" he nodded, only to meet Risuku's gaze with his own. His charcoal black eyes showing exactly how much he thought of his concerns. Not much it would seem. "You are just going to have to get used to it. I'm just as experienced as the rest of the jounin. They just don't want to give me the title" He shrugged, he didn't feel the need to prove himself to his charges really, they'd get used to it.
Rei sighed, typical Mugen, he was one of the nicest people she knew, but at times could seem a little uncaring. She knew she was stuck with him for now, which was actually a good thing, at least for her. She would have to hope Risuku would come to accept her brother as their leader.

Kai looks at sensei Mugen. "okay than, let's go find us a tabby." Kai begins to think of possible locations the cat may be when his train of thought is interrupted by Risuku. Kai looks at risuku and Sensei Mugen. Kai thinks to himself I hope these two learn how to get along, although it is interesting having an Uchiha as a sensei and team mate. "Whenever you guys are ready to go, let me know." Kai looks up at the clouds and goes back to his original train of thought.

Risuku sighed, rather annoyed. Mugen hadn’t answered his question, or put any of his mild spite at ease. If anything it had only been increased by the seemingly deliberately mysterious sensei. But he decided to comply for the time being. "Very well…" he said quietly. He looked around at the other two, taking in the interesting coincidence that he was with two of the more pleasant genin, at least that was a plus. "So where should we begin… ‘Sensei’?" he said the last word with a level of quiet disapproval.

"Alright! Now we've had that dealt with, lets go. Try and keep up" With that, he leapt from the building, across to a slightly lower rooftop, and onwards towards the village gates. Expecting his students to keep up with him, despite not using his full speed he was still quite quick. He also didn't want to lose them, at least not yet, he had an idea for this mission... a bit of a challenge that he had in mind. To test them out and gage where they were at.
Soon enough they were standing outside the village off an old path that hadn't been used in a while. "Alright, here's the deal... If you guys can find the cat before I do, I'll treat you all to Ichiraku's when we get back. Alright, ready... go!" and with that, he was gone like a flash. The challenge was on.
Rei stood shocked "Oh... wow, wait... Uh. What do we do!?" she had no idea. In fact she didn't even know where to start right now. Looking to her teammates to see what they thought could possibly help them here.

Kai smiles as their sensei disappears in a flash. He looks at the look on Rei's face. "Okay we can either split up or stick together, personally I think we should stick together." Kai remembers overhearing a conversation between two chunin saying they split up and failed miserably. Kai looks from Risuku to Rei and waits for their decision. "What do you guys think?"

Risuku looked around them. The prospect of needing to work with these two did not appeal to him, though it sounded like that was the goal judging by this task… He mumbled to himself begrudgingly. Still this was no need for them to stick together. "But we’d certainly cover more ground if we split up." He said, "Its not like we’d need to tag team the cat to catch it, splitting up would triple our chances." He then looked to Duko, "Can you taste the smell of a cat?" The long snake then lowered its head to the ground and began to flick its tongue out repeatedly, trying to see if it could find any sent.
(Jinno: Tell me if he detects anything.)
