Team Three: The Journey Begins.

[αrαπεl™]

The brown-haired woman continued to stare at the Genin in front of her, raising her eyebrow higher.

"Sorry, I don't exactly fancy a 'man' who is half my age. And I highly doubt that you'd need to know about love during battles and missions," Akuro replied to Haru's question, adding a faint tone of sarcasm into it.

Then it was back to business. "For first, I'd like you to tell me who you are and your goals in your life of a shinobi," she started, "You tell me yours first, and I'll tell you mine."

-I got rejected!- It had appeared his luck streak ended in a halt.

Haru had thought about that question before. He didn't want to answer. If he did they would change their whole view on him. His true dream. Avenge his father. It wasn't his real father but he raised him and taught him everything he knows about being a ninja. He had to get off this subject and make something up.

" My goal is to become the most loved person in all of Konoha! "

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori looked up and thought. 'Hmmm.... My goal in life...' She looked down at her feet as she continued to think. 'Well, the cloud ninja were mean to me and kicked me out of the village when they saw Houkou's seal so maybe I want revenge on them...' She looked up at Akuro.

"My name is Hamano Shiori and my goal is to... become the best ninja I possibly can." She lied. She didn't feel like telling her sensei or anyone for that matter about her demon.

[αrαπεl™]

Akuro decided it would be best to listen to the Genin. Her cell.
"Most loved person in Konoha? Interesting..." she said. 'Not.'

Then she turned her attention to the girl that Haru had been hitting on before she showed herself to the team.
'She's from the Cloud? This could be more interesting than his...' Akuro thought, reminding herself to keep on eye on this one.

Finally, she turned to the Genin wielding a huge fan. "What about you?" she questioned her.
'This one's from the Sand... These two girls might just be more interesting than the boy.

[Ari ღ]

Temari sliped her fan onto her back and turned around to met her new sensei.
"Your correct, I`m from the village of the Sand. My name is Temari." She said bluntly.
She agusted her Sand head band, witch was around her neck.
Hmmm....Haru hitting on the sensei, no surprize...

[αrαπεl™]

Akuro nodded after Temari was done with her introduction. "Mkay, now's my turn. As you already know, my name is Ijichi Akuro, and as for goals.... I really have nothing right now. Only to train this cell to be the best one out of the other ones," the kunoichi said, pointing to herself only on the name part.

The Jounin continued, "Since we've just met, I have a training exercise for this group. Let me explain it. Within these grounds, I've hidden three items, one for each of you. They aren't going to be that easy to find, and I've also laid traps here and there. As for the items, they're disguised as things that are natural for this area. Temari, you are going to find a black leaf from one of these bushes in the area. Haru, you are going for a turquoise stone that's hidden somewhere in this area. And Shirori... you are going after a greenish-colored stick. Understood? Any questions?"

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori nodded.
"Okay! This'll be easy!" She said confidently. It's just like her to get cocky even on a mission that seems simple, but is more challenging than it sounds. 'So let's see. I need to find a green stick...' She thought as she jumped off into some trees nearby. There were sticks all over the ground, but none of them were green. She looked on ahead and saw more and more sticks, none of which were green. 'Maybe this won't be so easy...' She thought as she continued to look.

[David]

-This will be easy. I'm an earth user I wonder how she didn't notice that.- Haru began to charge chakra in his right hand. When he charged up enough energy he palms the ground and all the loose rocks in the area shot up. He looked up and looked at them all but he didn't notice a turquoise rock. -I guess I will just continue the process.- He charged up his right hand again. He then palmed the ground with more force. Haru then spotted a turquoise looking rock. But it could be a light blue or some shade of green. Haru immediately flew up there and caught in. He then shot back to his previous location. He then walks up to Akuro.

" Is this it Akuro-Sensei? "

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori continued her search. "This /is/ harder than I thought!" She muttered as she looked around. She spotted a stick that looked green and ran towards it. As she got closer she smiled. It was the stick she needed. She was about a foot away when all of the sudden she was yanked off of her feet. "Gah!" Shiori yelled as she found herself upside down, hanging by a rope looped around her ankles. 'Damn it... A rope trap...' She thought as she stared down at the stick she needed.

[Ari ღ]

Temari was certain she would find a black leaf.
She thought this was going to be so simply.

She walked to a near by bush, it was a bit larger then the rest so she assumed it must of been their.
Little did she know it was a trap.
"Hmmm,...this bush seem different from the others..." She began as she examined it.
Before she could get a closer look she noticed in the corner of her eyes one of her team mates had fallen for a trick. She felt so help less, she could either countinuied with her own hunt or help somebody else.
"Grrr....you own me one." She murmured and walked over to Shirori.
She then loosed the ropes around her ankles and set her free from the trap.

[♥Nicole♥]

Shiori fell to the ground as Temari cut the ropes. "Thanks, Temari!" She said as she stood up and brushed herself off. She smiled and closed her eyes. "Have you found your item yet?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked back down to look for her item that she had seen before she had fallen for the trap.

[Ari ღ]

"No, not yet..."
Temari answered.
She saw she had no other reason to be their so she quietly walked back over to the over sized brush to take another close look at it.
"Hmmm,...I rather not use myself as a dummy and throw myself at this, over grown bursh..." She pondered. She placed her fingerer on her chin and thought of something she could do.
"I got it!" She blurted out.
She slipped her fan from off her back and prepared her self by bending her knees. She freely twirled her fan in a 360 motion at the brush.
She then stopped after a couple times of spinning. Leafs were scattered around the training area, for the over grown bush how every it blew a couple yards from where it was and it their appeared to be a black ditch under in.
"Green, brown, yellow...Black!" She shouted, and ran towards the black leaf among many other fallen leafs. She nealed towards the leaf and picked it up with both her hands to be sure she wasn't going to be fooled.
"This was easier then I thought..."

[♥Nicole♥]

"Ah ha!" Shiori yelled as she found the stick that she had seen before she fell for the trap.
She lifted up the stick and grasped it firmly in her hand. She ran back to Akuro.
"I've got it Akuro-sensei! I've got it!" She said as she showed her sensei and continued holding it tightly. 'That wasn't so hard!' She thought smiling.

[Ari ღ]

Temari glared at the black leaf in her palms. her palms began to sweet. From being excited and nervous.
"I better go show this to Akuro-sensei..." She began and took a step towards her Sensei. Before she could jump out of the way, a black fish net covered her.
"Huh? I'm traped,...how could I fall for something so....simple."
She sighed and tried to think of a way to escape.

[αrαπεl™]

Their sensei was sitting on one of the wooden poles, twiddling a kunai around her middle finger, waiting for her students to finish. The first one to come up with the items Akuro had assigned to each of the Genin was Haru, who seemed to have found to turquoise stone.
"Very good," she complimented the boy, giving him only a smile as a reward.

A little bit later, Shiori showed up with the green stick Akuro had assigned to the kunoichi. Giving the same kind of smile to her as she did to Haru, the Jounin said, "Now we'll wait for Temari."
