On a short peak, not that far from the Village Hidden in the Clouds, sat a small copse of gnarled and thin trees, struggling to survive in the small amount of dirt that lasted on those peaks. Hiding in the shadow of one of these small trees was a young Genin of the Cloud. The boy clung to the twisted trunk, as if for dear life. In truth, this act was simply for comfort. He was alone, though he expected company... his new team.

A boy in all black with matching hair walked to his spot. He was also a Genin of Cloud. "Hey--" he called "--are you part of team....." he took out a small piece of paper and looked at it "Team......K.....?"

The boy looked slowly over the approaching boy, shying away ever so slightly. At first, he murmured some incomprehensible gibberish, but then his voice rose enough so the other boy could hear: "Yes... I'm to be part of Team K." For some reason, he seemed to be focusing extensively on something, but that something was not in front of him. "I'm Noah... and you're?" The question was quiet, barely even audible. His silver hair, specifically a large strand on his right, began blowing in a light breeze, and the boy clung harder to the tree.

Not to far off Noah could see a circle slowly advancing in the distance, this wasn't a circle however but the birds eye view of an open umbrella. This was Alina making her way over to them. Soon enugh she stopped in front of one boy struggling to communicate with another in the trees she couldn't quite make out, already it seemed as though she were the only sane one in the group "dont tell me... this is team K right?" she closed her umbrella in the shade of the tree and sat under it with her umbrella at her side.

"Hey Noah." The boy saw Alina enter the scene, and a smile came to his face as he examined his teammates. "Well, hello new comrades. My name is Daikokumaru Minamoto." he scratched the back of his head, "I hope I don't drag anyone down or drive anyone crazy haha!" His cheerful demeanor and body language spoke of his character quite loudly as a bright optimist.

Noah watched the girl approach, but his eyes were fixated on the object she held: an umbrella. A very special kind in fact. "You... you were at the orphanage... with me..." Noah murmured, his eyes locked on the umbrella. It was the object that had sent him to the hospital, and her to her room. Even though that shouldn't have happened... "Nice to meet you, Daikokumaru... can I just call you Daiko?" It would be so much easier... rolled off the tongue so much more fluidly.

Alina looked up calmly "did I scare you that much Noah?" she laughed softly and stood again "I didnt know you were a ninja too..." then she turned to Daikokumaru "hello err... Daikonmaru was it?" in her mind she thought 'raddish boy? that cant be right...'
--------- Daikokumaru is broken up in to Daikoku and Maru, maru being a typical suffix for boys names and Daikoku being very close to Daikon meaning radish

"Gyah..!" Talk about misinterpretations. Daikokumaru regained composure. "Er....actually it's Daikokumaru, after one of the gods of fortune....." He had a smile on his face still. "But that was a good joke!"

Noah nodded hesitantly, murmuring, "I became one to be useful to the village... and you didn't scare me, Alina..." He wondered if he should bring up the umbrella. No, he shouldn't. Not wise. He just clung to the tree, making sure his bandanna was on right. He didn't want his seal to be shown.

Alina paused a moment "... Joke? oh! yes a joke...." then Noah spoke again and she responded simply "hmm... does anyone know who our sensei is? My slip only gave one letter..."

"Same here. I mean, it's an interesting team name I suppose, but I'm not sure how a jonin can remain anonymous." Daikokumaru replied. "Well um.....I'll wait here all day. Cuz I'm gonna get hungry and cold at night....." he didn't really seem 'ninja-y'

Noah shook his head. "I was here for a while... our sensei never showed himself... or herself..." He hoped he wouldn't fall asleep in public... keeping the seal's will suppressed was a 24-7 job. He, like his teammates, only knew one letter about their sensei. Noah shifted, sniffing the air. He seemed to be trying to smell something out. It was faint though, and he could only barely notice it.

What felt like hours but was actually just eighteen minutes passed. By this time they had nearly stopped looking for him when, with a loud crash something in the distance appeared, as if lightning had struck a nearby tree their was a bright flash and loud noise, then a powerfull presence. Sometime after that music, echoing Shamisen music, skillfully played though the forest as a figure came in to view. He wasn't much to look at to start; an average face with an ordinary physical build, longer brown hair held up in a topknot like style, brown eyes, simple robe like clothing and a lightning village headband worn around his shoulders. The only strange things about him were his instrment, his sunglasses worn up on his forehead and his hands, which were completely made of metal. When he had at last approached them the playing stopped and the man waved a metal hand at them "yo" he said simply "are you three Noah, Alina and Daikokumaru?" He asked plainly and almost businesslike, when he got an afermative responce he followed up with "well then, Ill be your sensei, nice to meet you all" plainly but somehow very strangely

Daikokumaru cleared his throat. "I'm honored um......sensei. I'd like to ask" he stated, "what your actual name might be."

Noah nodded in greeting, saying, "Nice to meet you, Sensei..." Like Daiko, Noah wondered what his sensei's real name was, but... he figured it would be impertinent to ask. One hand went to his little hair strand thing, and he began rolling it between his fingers, growing more and more nervous.

Alina looked at him a bit weary, he was a bit... lazy looking, his eyes weren't even all the way open, she looked up at him and said simply "hello sir"
K smiled "I guess we can start with introductions, everyone including my enemies call me K but technically my real name is Kousuke, Kodai Kousuke" he sat down with Alina while the other two regrouped "If I seem a bit off today its because Ive done three missions and a fight to the death in under two days... times are busy in the village and thats why were here isnt it, so go ahead and tell me" he played just one note on his shamisen "what youve got going for you as ninja"

"Er.....well, all I'm really good at is Kenjutsu...I'm working hard to improve my skills with it even more." Daiko replied, sitting on the ground cross-legged.

Noah switched to a tree closer to his sensei. "I use Kenjutsu too..." He showed his teammates and his sensei some metal claws attached to his belt. He didn't feel he had anything else... except... "I can also... smell chakra... I'm not that good at it though."

Alina whent next "thats funny.... I also use Kenjutsu, with a few different ninja umbrellas, but I have a unique aspect to my chakra, I am able to use the storm release"
K made mental notes of them, a mid range chain based kenjutsu user, a close range kenjutsu using sensor ninja and a long range kenjutsu using specialty ninja. "is that so... hmmm well for now I suppose Ill want to see what youve got to work with, but first I should tell you, Im not going to be your typical Jonin sense, who simply babysits students on missions, I intend to take what I know and teach it to you so that you can intigrate my teachings in to your own techniques, I myself am an expert in Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, Taijutsu and summoning jutsu" he threw down a few hand seals, tiger, horse, bird, dragon, snake, boar then put one to the ground and the other on his shoulder "lets see what you can do, summon; electric eel Namerakana!"

Damn. This meant he needed to focus... a test already. Noah released the tree, and began crouching, preparing to begin whatever he needed to do. He hoped it wasn't fighting... fighting made it harder for him to suppress the seal...
((Sorry about the constant references to the seal... he thinks and worries about it constantly.))
