Getting a Sempai (Chaos, Jigen, and Fox only)

Soren had just gotten through talking with the elders of the council. He wasn't worried about their warning because he had now intentions of running away again. Soren still had a lot of money on himself, so he decided to see what the food was like here. He stopped by a barbecue place and treated himself. "Man the food here is better than at the Sky village," Soren said as he pigged out on some ribs. He then finished up his meal and began to mosey his way to the training grounds. He knew that would be the best place to find a sensei. "I hope I find a sensei soon. I want to start learning right away," Soren said as he entered the training grounds area.

It seemed like in these past couple of days that Niiro had found himself a nice little team of shinobi that were willing help him in his conquest and his goals. He was wondering how many people would actually have the same goal or idea as Niiro, and if he could get a nice little amount he would have no problems at all getting all these problems and whatnot out of the way. He found himself walking through these training grounds that just so happened to be in the Wolf Mountains; who would put a trainings ground area here, I have no clue. He figured that since he was here he might as well scope out any other Shinobi that were willing to follow him in his cause, but the real question was where the hell was that girl Kasumi at? He looked around and she was nowhere to be found. He could have sworn she was right behind him. Instead of finding her, he found some male that was here. He almost positive that Kasumi wasn't a man in disguise so he waited for her to get here.

Kasumi's stomach had gotten the best of her, The pain seemed to be draining her of her energy and as she followed her Sempai a most delightful smell came in contact with her nose. Licking her lips she found herself wandering into a store and sitting down, stuffing her face with Fried dumplings and Ramen. Her stomach filling up with each bite and slurp, a cup of lemonade next to her to wash it all down. When she was half way done she had realized that she had left her Sempai and he could be any where at that moment. " Darn.." quickly stuffing the rest and grabbing the last of her fried porkbuns she paid the waiter and quickly ran out of the store, running about as she looked for the white haired man. Shoving the porkbuns in her mouth she had spotted him and ran in that direction the food done as she came to a stop next to him. " Sorry Sempai...My hunger got the best of me." A small belch released itself from her chest as she excused herself. Her hair in a messy bun because she hated it to be in her food when she eat, Kasumi let it down looking around and wondering why they were stopping here.

Soren had just arrived to the training grounds that were out in the middle of no where, when he had seen a man wondering the training grounds. He had white hair and looked old enough to be a jounin. Soren shrugged and said, "Well I guess I need to introduce myself." Soren then approached the man and said, "Hello. I am Soren Senju. I have just been accepted into the land of Iron. I was wondering if you knew anybody that would be willing to train me?" Before the man could answer though, a girl approached them. He was a little out of breath from running and she smelled of dumplings. She made him chuckle a little when she belched. Soren then heard her call the man 'sempai.' "So he IS a sesnei huh?," Soren thought to himself. He then looked at the girl and said, "Hello. I am Soren. Nice to meet you." Soren gave a polite smile and waited for them to comment.

Niiro watched as the boy had walked up to him and had stated his name; he also said something about just coming to the Land of Iron. Maybe he was some kind of refugee or maybe he just abandoned his village for some reason; either way it was irrelevant as of now. He scratched his head and saw the girl come up to him. She wreaked of the smell of meat like she had just came from a slaughterhouse. He turned his head from the girl and to the boy. He then said to the boy, "You can call me Jigen Masuta. The rude girl that is with me is Kasumi; she is my student." He looked to girl still wondering why she had got something to eat and then didn't have the nerve to bring him back anything; the selfish girl. "It's nice to meet you." He didn't have much to say to him because he didn't really have much on his mind. He looked to the girl and said, "We need more people to help our cause." Hopefully the girl would get what he was saying by that so that he wouldn't have to say much out loud.

Looking at the male that introduced himself to her Sempai and herself, Kasumi finally got ahold of her breathing, moving a strand of hair behind her ear as Sempai introduced them to the boy. A small frown came to her face as he called her rude and then a thought popped up in her mind " I should have brought him something....Fuck." Hearing the words of her sempai she took note of it and put a warming smile on her face. " Hello, My name is Kasumi...And this is my Sempai...Are you from these parts?." She looked the boy up and down sizing him up slightly, she had not seen him around before and wondered if he was from another village, or possibly just a new genin. Whatever the case before the end of this day he would be following her Sempai.

Soren smiled to both of then and said, "Nice to meet you both. What is this 'cause' you speak of? Maybe I could be of some assistance. I am seeking one thing, and one thing alone... power. If you teach me jutsu, I could care less what your cause is." Soren then answered their previous question, "I am new to the Land of Iron. I am originally from the Hidden Sky village, but they have become weak and decadent. They ignored me so I left. Do you know how hard it is to teach yourself jutsu?! Especially when your one of the only wood style users in the area! It is frustrating." Soren then sighed and stopped to listen to what Niiro and Kasumi had to say.

Niiro saw the look in the girl's eyes; she felt disappointed in herself, or at least upset with herself because of the words that the Jounin had spake. He was surprised that the girl cared so much about what he thought but that didn't matter so much, right now the only thing that was concerning him was if he would be able to hold his weight around here. He scratched his head and decided to test the skill of the boy. "Face Kasumi here in a duel, then I'll let you know if I can train you or not." After he said that he disappeared and reappeared on a tree. Suddenly the words, "BEGIN!" Was yelled out from somewhere. Although he could not be seen he was still watching them; it was time to see what the two of them were made of.

((OOC: You guys skip my post, I'll post when I find it necessary to post.))

Kasumi wasted no time in starting the fight, it was time to put what she learned into effect and prove that she had what it took to become his true student. using her body flicker jutsu without the need of any handseals she appeared behind the boy, her body in a crouched position low to the ground as she kicked her feet out in a sweeping motion towards his feet in order to trip him up. If she connected he would fall and she would then use her both of her hands to support her body, turn the sweeping motion into a upwards kick that would have both of her feet into his back or stomach depending on whichever way he fell. She would not hold back her strength once her kicks connected, if they connected which would be more of a likely chance that they would on the account of her being quite fast. If she did connect afterwards she would jump back a good distance away from the boy enough to where he would not be able to touch her. She was not done not by a long shot, as she did a few handeseals and three clones appeared next to her, now these clones were no ordinary clones, no she was using her newly learned technique The crow clones. Testing them out would be fun and as she waited for the boy to make his moves a small smirk came to her face. But all of this would be only if she connected her first assault. If she would somehow fail her first assault then well that was that and she would have to see what this boy had up his sleeves.

Soren nodded at Niiro and started to pull out a kuni from his left holster, but before he could, the girl had already began her assault. He saw her disappear and knew what she was going for, "A REAR ASSAULT!" Soren then felt his legs sweep out from under him, but before they did, he had made one hand sign. One was all he needed for this basic jutsu. Although it was basic... it was effective. And would stop her assault in it's tracks. Without saying a word, he rolled with the attack and did a back flip. While in mid-air though, he turned in her direction and used the 'temporary paralysis jutsu'. This would be an invisible attack so dodging would be impossible and would stop her movement. If it worked, he would continue to do a back hand spring and get some distance from her. He would also finish pulling out his kuni and get in a defensive stance. She had taken him by surprise the first time... it would not happen again.

Feeling the boy's back against her feet, made Kasumi think as she pushed him Off of her feet and away from her moving away and following up with her plan as she did the headseals, the clones standing by her side. " This is just to see how good he is...I need to let up on this kid..." Looking at the boy on the ground all but one of her clones charged at him. And as they got closer to him Kasumi made another set of handseals, putting her chakra into it, a thick mist began to roll in the area and her clone stood right in front of her as she did so. The Mist was thick, like a cloud but thicker than a cloud, so more like a fog. She had casted the hidden in the mist jutsu, making it impossible for the downed boy to see the oncoming Clones as they began to zig zag towards him. Now the clones was just a distraction as Kasumi began to move from her position to a new one. The clone that stood in front of the real Kasumi mirrored her movment as Kasumi began to wait for the flapping of wings from the birds of the clones. If she was right he would try to hit one of the clones thinking it was her, he would be startled as the clones would disperse into crows and she would come in with another attack. If what the distraction worked and he did get caught off guard she and her clone would run at the boy. The Clone would come at him with a right hook to the side of his face While the real Kasumi would come at him with a sliding kick to side of his shins knocking him off guard once more.

Soren rolled off of the girls legs. For some reason his jutsu didn't work, but it didn't matter anymore. He didn't care about beating her. This was all some game to her sensei and Soren would play along... for now. As she rolled him off, he kept one of his eyes on here as she made her clones and started her mist jutsu. He smiled for a moment and thought, "Mist... well the funny thing about mist is that if I cant see her, she cant see me." Soren knew that the clones were coming for him, but he wasn't too sure if she was among the team that was assaulting him, or if she was one of the ones that stayed back. Either way he would need to get rid of them. He then made a handsign and said: "Wood Dome Wall!" Wooden planks began to come from the ground and interlock with each other. This dome was in between himself and the clones. Soren then used the top of the dome to jump to the nearby trees close to where Niiro was. Landing on a branch he would try and make out where the clones were and also prepare for another attack.

Before hearing her clones she heard the boy whom stupidly yelled out his jutsu all loud and such. and then the crows, the beating of wings as they hit something, most likely the jutsu the boy called out. And no there were only one clone left and herself. Now that her plan has backfired she would not foolishly run out there to see what jutsu the boy had casted, instead she waited in the mist crouching low to the ground not sure where the boy was now. Feeling around on the ground of the floor her hand came over a rock, Since she could not see the boy and was relying on the sound to find him, she would draw him out with sounds of her own. Taking the rock in her hand she threw it letting it hit the floor, hopefully it would draw the boy out enough to where she could hear his movements and make moves of her own.

Soren watched from his branch as crows scattered from where he had made his wall. He smiled and said, "So you use crow clones huh? Clever distraction technique, but now I wont be surprised by them." Soren then waited to see if she would come out and attack him, but she didn't. He grabbed an explosive tag and latched it to his kuni that had been in his hand. He was ready for anything.

Niiro laughed at what had happened, well this fight really. It seemed to be an interesting one indeed, but he had seen enough. He flew off of the bridge and landed between Kasumi and Soren, directly in the center. When he did land he released a lot of his wind release nature which had cleared out all of the mist that was in the area, but it looked like the mist had just cleared by some kind of godly force. Unfortunately, Niiro's visual appearance had appeared where the mist had been cleared from. He stood up and said to the two of them, "I believe that I've seen enough." He looked around to see this weird looking dome then he saw two of the girl that he had been training. He smiled and was glad that he had decent followers. "Soren, I'll train you." He cracked his knuckles and awaited for the two of them to come to him.

Kasumi smiled as she came out from her hiding spot. Letting go of the Crow clone, She regrouped and walked over next to Sempai. She was now bored and somewhat bothered and annoyed, moving her hair back from her face in an annoyed fashion. " Are we done here? " Her voice was agitated and not it's usual calm manner, a grumble came from her stomach but she ignored it. Smirking evilly once she saw that boy come into view.

Soren rolled his eyes as she saw the chick, "Man this girl is a royal pain." He then hopped down out of the tree and walked over to his new sensei. He then looked at her and said, "You keep on and I will knock that crooked grin off of your face." Sore then looked at Niiro and said, "Thank you for allowing me to study under you, but you still didn't answer my first question. What is this 'cause' of yours?" Soren wasn't sure if the man had forgotten or not. He then tucked his kuni back into it's holster and waited for Niiro to respond.

It would seem that during this fight a little bit of friction was put between the two of them; it was much of a surprise since that's usually what happened when people fought, but it was time for something new to happen. He was getting sick and tired of people becoming more upset then anything when they fought, this time he was going to try and bring people together through fighting. He looked to the boy and said, "My cause is simply to bring this land to greatness, unite the land, and bring forth a new age." After saying that he decided that it would be best if the two had trained separately for a little while, then after he had trained them individually that he would be able to bring them together; uniting everyone was his true cause anyways, so he figured that would be best. He created a few handseals and a clone had appeared. He looked to the girl and said, "You'll be training with my clone, do not attempt to destroy it because I can't guarantee your safety afterwards." He then looked to the boy. "You come with me." After he said that the real Niiro had walked one direction and the clone had walked another one; it was official training time for the both of them.

Soren listened as Niiro explained his goal and dream. He understood and replied, "Well as long as I can get stronger, I will support your cause." Soren then saw Niiro make a clone for it seemed that Niiro wanted some one on one training. Soren then nodded and started to follow Niiro. He was glad to finally have a sensei. He looked back and the girl who was left with the clone and wondered, "Should I make her my goal?" He then continued with his sensei.

Leaving with the clone Kasumi was quiet as she prepared herself mentally. She knew she would not win against the clone, but she would not be trying. It was going to be all about defense today. Looking back at Sempai and Soren, her eyes met his for a moment but she thought nothing of it as she and the Sempai clone began to vanish.
