Daisuke stepped into Kumogakure for the second time, having gone to pick up some supplies for his clan. The first time he had entered, he and the rest of his clan had been seeking shelter from their enemies. The Raikage had been understandably hesitant to allow them to join since he knew so little about them, but at last they had been accepted. Of course, being accepted by the village itself was a whole different matter.
Daisuke twisted his head to the side just in time to allow a kunai to go whizzing past him. He turned to see several children running away from him, leaving behind a group of three: two boys and a girl.
"Ah, he dodged it!" one of the boys stamped his foot in frustration.
"I guess that means he is a real ninja," the other boy said, smirking. "I win! Pay up!" Grumbling, the first boy handed over a few bills.
Daisuke rolled his eyes and walked away...only to find the girl walking beside him.
"Don't worry about them," the girl said. "Those two are idiots." She casually waved at the two boys, who were now wrestling.
"I don't mind," Daisuke replied. "However, I was wondering, what did they mean by..."A real ninja"?"
"Oh, that," the girl rolled her eyes. "You are from the Yaiba Clan, right? Well, some of the adults don't think that your clan is made up of real ninja, since you were not originally part of a ninja village."
"Interesting," Daisuke muttered, filing the information away for later use. "Would you mind telling me who these adults are?"
"You're not planning on doing something stupid, are you?" the girl asked him suspiciously. "Because I don't think the Raikage would let you stay in our village if you went on a killing spree."
Daisuke looked amused and shook his head. "No," he said. "I would not endanger my clan like that. However, if I can prove to these people that my clan really is made up of..."real ninja"...then perhaps I can stifle these rumors and help my clan gain some credibility."
"I see," the girl said, nodding. "That makes sense. But you would have to do something really big. When I said the adults were saying this, I meant all of the ones I've spoken to."
Daisuke winced. "This could be problematic."

((sorry to interrupt but K is in the area between the sound village and the water fall village on a mission at the moment so if you were hoping to interact with him he's elsewhere but will be back soon))

(Nah, K would be helpful, but he's not absolutely necessary to what I have planned.)
Daisuke had left the children behind and headed deeper into the village. Now that he knew what people thought of him, he felt like he could feel the weight of their stares. Ignoring everyone he passed, Daisuke made his way to the apartments where his clan currently lived. They didn't have a compound yet, but Daisuke was already making plans to fix that. He went to the room where the Council of Three were currently holding their meetings. Daisuke dropped his bag of supplies on a couch and sank down next to it, closing his eyes to rest. However, that only brought on the thoughts that had been with him ever since speaking to that girl. How was he going to prove to these people that his clansmen were real ninja? Sure, he could always wait until they had been sent out on a few missions and proved their worth, but he wanted to just get it over with. Rising from his chair, Daisuke began to pace, dozens of different plans running through his mind. Then it came to him. It was so simple, but risky. He would have to be the one to do it. He was only one he could trust with a task like this. The others were all to old or inexperienced. Turning to the door, Daisuke left the apartment, taking with him only his sword and sai.

Daisuke exited the Raikage's office. A official document in his hands which was proof that he could go ahead with his plan. Daisuke smiled slightly, thinking back to what he had said to the Raikage.
-Flashback-
"I want to prove to your village that my clanmates are not second rate ninja," Daisuke had been saying. "As such, I wish to hold a fight. The battle would be between me and a jonin-class shinobi of this village. You may choose the fighter if you wish, in fact it probably would be better if you did. That way, no one could say that I cheated in some way. Of course, this will not be a battle to the death, but I will allow the ninja you choose to kill me if he or she wins the match. This is to prove how serious I am about this."
-End Flashback-
Daisuke headed towards his clan's apartment building, clutching the document tightly in a fist. Yes, he would gain the respect of this village, even if it cost him his life.

((That's what I was hoping for. ;D So I'll wait. And also, that would be great for him to have someone to talk to.))

Of to the side of the main street was a girl in a cute red-and-blue yukata, her long black hair pinned up. She didn't seem to be doing anything other than people-watch.....she was easily noticeable but still not very conspicuous eating yakitori and humming.

Daisuke decided to stop at a food stand before really returning to the apartments. He bought a couple of onigiri and sat down on a bench outside of the shop, to rest and think of his upcoming battle.

The girl stopped mid-bite seeing that this boy just sat down next to her. Fate? Luck? Who knows. She looked him over and with a sharp eye noticed some weapons. "Awre uu ah--" she chewed and swallowed "Are you a soldier? Cuz if you're off duty you don't need a weapon...."

K had just recently returned from a mission and finished his report, his next engagement was a mater of diplomacy, it seemed that a clan of ninja recently welcomed in to the cloud village as allies did not feel welcomed and sought to prove themselves worthy. His role in this was to satisfy the demand from this clan for a battle to showcase the clan’s usefulness to the cloud village.
After having reported and recharged himself from his journey feeling refreshed K made his way to the area where the sparing match would be held, unsure of what to expect, but the inclination that they would be an aggressive people could have been made by their call to have a sparing match with real weapons and full jutsu.
He arrived hoping he wasn’t late only to see that his opponent had not arrived yet, he would no doubt be quite strong as the clan had sent him specifically forward so K prepared himself, he was a strong stagiest and was already busy thinking of ways to end a non lethal duel easily.

(Understood.)
"I guess you could say that," Daisuke replied, surprised by the girl speaking to him. "I am a soldier. Never thought about myself that way before. I do need my weapons though. I have a fight coming up. But even if that were not true, what if the village were attacked? I would need to be able to defend myself and my people."

"Ah." The girl thought for a moment. "Do you need to be there right now? I'll go with you. N-not fight of course but I'm curious. May I?" She seemed nice, innocent and harmless enough. In fact, she seemed almost to cute to say no.

"Uh...sure," Daisuke shrugged, looking embarrassed by the girl's reaction. "I'm not really sure when I'm supposed to meet with this guy to fight, so I should probably just go to the place now." Daisuke stood. "Let's go then."

K was waiting in the deuling area, a vast open space with the dignitaries viewing it in a safe enclosure simply standing their playing his shamisen to pass the time

"My name is Daisuke," Daisuke informed her. "Daisuke Yaiba. And you can drop the 'Mr'. I don't really care about stuff like that." He led the girl to the arena, which took a few minutes since he still didn't know his way around the village. Daisuke entered the arena and looked over at his opponent who was...playing an instrument. Daisuke was about to stop the guy, but then realized that he was actually pretty good and so he waited.

It didnt take long for K to realize someone was there but perhaps a bit longer than a ninja of his rank would have taken. Oddly relaxed for someone about to enter a duel K stopped playing and carefully sealed his instrment inside a scroll, his metal hands unrolling it, performing the hand seal and rolling it again.
He stood to face the newcomer, he was a bit younger than K would have expected though if being a ninja had taught him anything it was that outward appearances had nothing to do with fighting ability. He already noted his sword and sai, meaning that he would be a direct fighter, though he knew absolutly nothing about his clan and it was safe to assume that he knew all about the lightning village's techniques. "so you're the one the clan sent... well it looks like Im the one the village sent" he smiled "my name is Kousuke Kodai, but you can call me K, I'm an official in this village" he said extending his mechanical hand in a freindly gesture
