Team 8's first gathering...

[terrx]

(Come fourth Team 8!!)

The wind blew softly. Meditating under the a tree was a young Genin with brown braided hair and green eyes. This young Genin wore a pink skirt with shorts under it and a pink shirt. She wore her headband upon her forehead as well. Her name was Ai Konoha. This girl's moods are unpredictable. She can be calm one minute...And the next minute she's yelling and screaming up a storms. She hates perverts more than anything else in the world. And whenever she eats sugar...Her Chakra flows more rapidly and her muscles are super charged and that turns her into a Fast Fist Fighter. Ai was the only one in the Academy who actully hated Sasuke. But she did like one person. Ai was also very powerful too. She weilds a scythe and a sword...Ai detested all men...All but one. She sighed relaxing as the wind blew, waiting for her team.

[shukaku]

Akimoto Kyo shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked to the training grounds. "I wonder if my team's there yet..." He muttered. His hitai-ate was tied tightly around his forehead. His light brown hair fell across his face and he shook his head so he could see. His white shirt reflected the sunlight so he wouldn't be hot. Kyo was a friendly guy, but if you teased him about Rokubi, he would usually get angry.

He reached the training grounds and spotted Ai. "I guess she must be one of my team mates." He said to himself. Kyo walked over to her and smiled. "Hi. I'm Akimoto Kyo. You're one of my team mates, right?"

(That sucked.)

[terrx]

Ai looked over at the boy, "You're with Team 8, yeah? Then yes...My name is Ai Konoha." She said, "Kyo huh?" She asked, sighing, "Our teacher is late..." She said, staring at the twilit sky, "I got here not too long ago." She said.

She was polishing her Scythe. After all...A good Swordsman keeps their sword stain free, "So...I take it Iruka told you to meet him here as well?" She asked

[shukaku]

Kyo nodded. "Yeah. I would've guessed he'd be here to greet us if he told us to meet him here." He pulled out both of his foot and a half long dagger-like swords and examined them. He often did this to make sure there were no cracks or scratches on them. He looked up at Ai. "So you have a scythe, eh?" He asked looking at the weapon.

[terrx]

"Yeah...It's the Sanbi Scythe...It's been passed down in my family from generation to generation. It was forged from a scale of the Sanbi...Truely a powerful weapon." She said, yawning, "Summer is going by fast..." She said. Once she was done poilishing, the weapon disappeared in a puff of smoke...Leaving behind Sakura Flower petals and a scroll.

[shukaku]

Kyo put his daggers across his back. He sighed as he looked around. "It sure is... And we're not getting any younger so Iruka-sensei had better get here soon." He laid down and looked at the sky as he waited inpatiently. "My weapons aren't much, but I need them to perform some of my jutsu." He said to Ai, staring at a cloud as it floated lazily by.

[Ari ღ]

Iruka laughed and smiled while he walked up to his new team. "Hello, I'm Umino Iruka, you can call me Sensei." He said with his eyes shut and a smile accorss his face, it made him look excited. "It's a pleasure to have such a peaceful team." He commented seeing they weren't fighting nor trying to prove who was the stongest.

"Now, lets begin with a couple excersizes and training techniques." He said like they had no other choice. He opened his eyes and brought out a couple kunias from his pouch. "Now, I'd like to test your accuraccy skills." He nodded and pushed his right hand towards his team with 3 kunias in his hand.

[Taiki-kun]

^{Taiki walked upon the scene, his head was held low, and every now and then he'll scratch his completely bandaged arms. 'Damn rash...'
His eyes soon took sight on to Iruka Umino. The team leader of team eight. After a few second of processing, Taiki realized... he was on team eight!
"HEY GUY'S, I'M HERE!"
Taiki ran right next to the group and waited for a response from everyone. There was a smile on his face. He's ready for any and every adventure that await's him.}

Taiki noticed three kunai in Iruka's hand. Three team members... so, one of them had ot be for Taiki. He grabbed the kunai on the left side. I seemed to be calling his name or something. The kunai was held carefully just incase it was 'special' or 'dangerous' or something else along those lines.
"WHat exactly do you want us to do?"

[Ari ღ]

Iruka smiled, while watching Taiki grab the kunia.
He reminds me of somebody, I'm not sure who though...
He blinked and repeated himself.
"I'd like to see your accuraccy skills."
Iruka pointed to a large tree not too far from where he was standing, with his oppsite hand. It had a target circle on it, where there was a bulls eye, and many other colours around it.
"Impress me, try to hit the bulls eyes." He said smiling.

[Taiki-kun]

^{"I have to hit that... it's completely irrelevant? I don't hit bullseyes... I hit targets in general area's."
Taiki crossed his arms and didn't even bother throwing the kunai. He is very biased(sp?) and only believes in what he believes. He's a perfect example of someone who is hard headed. "I refuse to throw this Kunai..."
Considering that Taiki is a list living male member of the Matsuo clan, and one of the few people who are lucky enough to inherit the Mokuton, he needs to lose his attitude and get stronger."Hmph..."}

[terrx]

Ai nodded, looking at Iruka, "Ai Konoha..." She said, getting up and taking one of the kunai, "Aim..." She said before tossing the kunai at the target. Ai then sat back under the tree and began to meditate again, as if to wait for the other. She opened an eye at Taiki, "Just aim and fire...It's not that hard." She said sighing.

[Ari ღ]

"Hmmm..trouble maker are you?"
Yes, he does remind me of sombody...wait! I remember he reminds me of Uzumaki Naruto. Strong headed and ignorant.

"Well, un-less you would like to fail, I suggest you throw the kunai." He said bluntly.
"A ninja should always obey somebody with a higher rank, in this case I'm your sensei and you'll do what I say." He commented with a smile across his face.

[Taiki-kun]

<sup>Taiki gripped the end of the kunai and tossed it up into the air. It landed a few feet away from him and it landed in the ground.
"Fine, whatever... Mr. Chuunin."
Taiki smirked.
"It'll be funny when I pass the Chuunin exams and become the same rank as you... now won't it?"
After taking a seat and placing his back against a tree, he crossed his arms and seemed pretty happy.

Taiki is hardheaded, up-tight, and arrogant. Though he really believes in himself and everything he coems up with. You got to remember that he's only a genin, what he thinks is right isn't always right.</sup>

[terrx]

Ai was already annoyed at Taiki, "I suggest you get off your attitude...And do it right." She said, glaring at him, "In order to become Chuunin...You need to pass this test...Baka." She said, still calm. The young girl sighed, wishing to be in a squad where everyone is the same and had no complaints.

[Ari ღ]

I believe you will become a wonderful Chuininn.
He looked at Taiki with a questioning look on his face.
"If you believe you will become I higher rank then me, you'll have to do more harder and difficult missions and training exercises then throw a kunia at a tree. I was going to go easy on you, but I changed my mind." Iruka said bluntly.
"So you have confidences in your self." He asked Taiki.
Hes not afraid to speak his mind, thats for sure...
