Sunagakure Shinobis (Selo and Anjeru)

Yaku looked at the menu and sighed softly. "Just water for now." He said, still looking at the menu to figure something out. Konoha didn't have his favorite flavor, so he had to try and find out what he did like. After a little bit he finally decided. "Get me what she has." He stated and set his menu down finally. "Sorelle, why do you think they paired us up?" He questioned, looking down at the table.

Yaku was half in thought as he spoke out. Their ramen finally came out and Yaku started to stir his first before taking his chop sticks apart and started to eat it slowly. It wasn't great, but it was better then nothing. "What does the Kazekage actually see in our squad?" He questioned, more to him self than to Sorelle.​
 
"You know, I can't say that I understand why we were put together. You and I, I can see how we'd help each other." Sorelle was saying in between bites as she ate her ramen. "Our other companion though, she does have her talents, but she doesn't seem to...fit in, for lack of a better description. She is like Kuya-sensei, in a sense of personality." She nodded. "What do you think, Yaku?"

She was with him on this, she couldn't really begin to see why the squad had been formed with the members it had. As well as their squad leader; she and Yakku on the otherhand she could see making a good pair, especially if they could use their abilities to compliment each other and to compensate for their weaknesses.​
 
Yaku then started to eat in silence until he finished. "I think there is something we are all able to do that no one else can do." He stated and stood up, setting his share of the bill down and walked off. "I'm going to go meditate." He said and then leaped into the air. He would move at high speeds, avoiding being seen as he wanted to be alone for a little while.

Why did the Kazekage set them up? What was his purpose for pairing these three up with that particular sensei? Yakusai had many thoughts running in his mind, and he always questioned other's motives, having been a removed person he hardly understood why other people did things they do. He sighed as he felt the presence of another near him. "It's rude to stare." He said and the figure walked out.

"You knew I was here?" The kunoichi spoke out, her voice soft but firm. "I knew you followed me from the ramen shop." Yaku said, standing up and looking at the female. She had some wierd eyes, faded like the Hyuuga, but had the comas of the Uchiha. "Who are you?" Yakusai questioned. "I, am a ninja adopted by the Hyuuga clan. That is all I can tell you." She said and Yaku scuffed at the statement.

"It was all fine and nice meeting you, but I have to go now, and don't dare eavesdrop on my business any more, or I might have to do something unwanted by either of us." Yaku warned and leaped into the air, turning to a could of sand as he did. He would then head back to their home that was set for them, it starting to get dark. Yaku went to the bed he claimed as his and laid down, starting to head to bed now.

((You can skip us to the next day or show what she did while he went meditating.))​
 
Sorelle nodded as Yaku left her company to go meditate. The girl didn't leave follow and decided to stay in the shop for awhile longer, using this down time for a simple moment of peace. She knew it wasn't going to last. With a sigh, she pushed herself up from the table and left the building, wandering around the village.

Her red eye was watching closely at the buildings and people around her. The boy that had challenged and lost to her companion was following her. She didn't want to lead him to their place of residence, so she stopped and turned to face him.

"Stop sulking and leave me be," was all she said before she jumped to the roof and darted off faster than he could keep up with. The shinobi's of this village were being awfully pushy and it was beginning to make Sorelle suspiscious.

Some welcome, she thought.

When she made it back to the room, the younger girl was asleep in a bed. Yaku appeared to be sleeping as well, so she made her way to the corner across from the door and sat there. The girl's eyelids lowered and before long, she was resting as well; conscious enough to be aware, but out enough to be regaining energy that she was sure she was going to need.​
 
Morning creeped over the horizon and woke the young Sunagakure shinobi. He rolled over and looked at the cieling and sighed. Another day on this world of existence. He thought, turning to a mist of sand and forming up next to the bed, new clothing on him now having use the sand to grab them and formed up inside of them. He looked to the corner and saw Sorelle sleeping in it. "Morning." He said as he noticed her movement to his noise.

He walked over to the window and saw Kuya standing on a wire connecting two buildings. "Wake the others up! We got a new mission." She called out to him. He nodded and walked over to make sure Sorelle was actually waking and then went to wake the other female. "Come on, Kuya needs to see us on the roof, get ready for a mission." He informed and left out, walking to the roof this time.​
 
Sorelle nodded in response, having peeked open her eyes when he'd gotten out of bed. She was highly sensitive to sound, especially when she was in her resting state; it was one of her conditioned abilities that she knew would become of use to her sooner rather than later. "I'll meet you up there," she said as he walked out. Approaching the other shinobi, she kicked the bed. "Hey! Slacker! It's time to wake up!" Then, without waiting to see if she awoke, she left and made her way to the roof. The younger girl was quick to follow, readjusting her clothing as she went having slept in a done down version of what she usually wore.

Sorelle eyed her companions then faced her sensei. "New mission? It have anything to do with what we went through yesterday?" she shook her head, "I will not be decieved again, so I hope for everyone's sake that the issue has been at least realitively resolved."​
 
"It sort of does. We are going to be scouting out the area we last had battle. We will have two Konoha Chunin with us to help, and also in case we get attacked. We are looking for any evidence of who these attackers really are. You three up for it, or would you like an easier mission?" Kuya asked, looking from each of the three.

Yakusai looked at Kuya with his killer's intent, his arms crossed over his chest. "I'll do it." He said in his monotone voice. He looked at the other two comrades and then heard some foot steps. "They're here." He said, looking behind him to see two kunoichi walk on the building. One was the female in a kimono from before, the other was the one Yaku caught on top of the hill the earlier night. Yaku then glared at the one with the faded eyes, not liking this team build up now.​
 
The two girls nodded in unison to their sensei's question of their courage and drive. Ai, as Sorelle had nicknamed her, was a tad wary of the mission given their experiences the day before. Sorelle, on the other hand, wasn't going to back down from anything. She just didn't want to be decieved as she had the day before. It made her feel foolish which she did not appreciate.

"Ah, I see one familiar face among our new cohorts," Sorelle commented as the Chuunins approached to mingle within their group. "I suppose this is why you were so keen to watch us yesterday?" she aimed the question at the kimino clad konoha shinobi. Sorelle did not like the way this was coming together, but she couldn't do anything about it at this moment, so she let it slide with the simple question.

Since Ai had stayed at the room the day before, she was a bit careless as to why Sorelle and Yaku appeared a little on edge. Sorelle was glad to see Yaku had the same vibes as she.​
 
The two chunin kunoichi smirked towards each other. "She wasn't the only one watching you." Said the pale-eyed one. "I guess their tracking abilities aren't the best. But they will get better as time passes, right?" She added on to her previous statement. Her tone of voice was slightly kind and gentle still, but had that demand for power and firmness as well. "Don't degrade them so much, they are our comrades, not subordinates." The kimono kunoichi said.

"It seems your four already met I guess?" Kuya said, looking at Yaku, Sorelle and the two Konoha kunoichi. "Well, these are Yuki," She said pointing to the kimono kunoichi, "and Yin. They have good tracking techniques and fighting styles as well, that is why they will join us." Kuya informed.

"I've met both of them before already. Though Sorelle met Yuki only." Yaku stated. He then started to walk off. "The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can get back, lets go." Yaku said, still speaking in an apathetic tone of voice. He walked past the two Konoha kunoichi, then leaped into the air, heading to the gates.​
 
The two girls reminded Sorelle and Ai of twins. They seemed in sync and beyond well-coordinated. Sorelle knew this would be useful though she didn't appreciate the shinobi's snide remark about her lack of tracking abilities. That wasn't her cup of tea, so it didn't bother her to a large degree. Sorelle specialized in illusions, in tricking her enemies and turning their own senses against them. Konoha supplied trackers. As a sunagakure shinobi, Sorelle didn't see it as something she needed to become overly adept in.

She was quick to follow Yaku as he departed, Ai close behind her. She looked over at him, curious about why he was acting the way he was. She then glanced to Sorelle, wondering the same thing. They didn't seem pleased. She just didn't know as to why they weren't pleased. The group made their way to the village gates and before long they reached the place of their yester-attack.​
 
Yaku dropped to the ground and looked around once. "So, what exactly are we looking for?" He questioned and Kuya landed near by. "When I was fighting them I noticed they dropped something, or a few things. They weren't very organized with carrying things much." She stated and started to scout around. "Spread out, but don't get too far from each other. If they attack us, we need to be able to regroup and counter them." Kuya said, the two chunins nodded and leaped to the sides, out of sight range but had their own ways of keeping 'close' to the squad.

Yaku sighed and walked off in another direction, his hands in his sweeter pocket, the hood pulled over his head. He would start shifting the sands around him, searching for anything out of the ordinary. This is going to take forever. He thought as he searched, until he heard some noise near by. He pulled his hand up near his ear to the com-device they all grabbed, "I think I have contact near the sand-needles." He said, refereeing to the large thin rocks the jutted out of the ground around him.​
 
Sorelle split up from the others, moving towards the east side of the battle ground to search for what Kuya-sensei had said. Their sensei really hadn't told her to look for anything specific, so she wasn't entirely sure what it was that she was looking for. She kept her red eye steady and ready, to pick out anything that wasn't standard to the area.

Ai was off doing the same, picking through bushes and trudging around the trees.

The com buzzed and Sorelle tapped on her ear, listening closely as Yaku's words came through. She buzzed back, "where is your current location?" She peered around as she asked, not able to see him from where she was searching. Contact...that likely insinuated encounters, not objects. Perhaps the shinobi that the chuunin's had run from the day before hadn't left the area, but had simply waited for their return. It was unlikely since the chuunin weren't the shinobi's prime target, but there was a minute possibility.

One could never be too safe, she surmised, her finger hooking into her strapped on kunai knife. Her red eye was steady with her other, analyzing the area as she awaited Yaku's answer, or an order from Kuya-sensei.​
 
Yaku crouched down as the noise became louder now. "The desert patch with sand needles. The rocks protruding out of the sand like large needles." He said under a whisper now, pressing his back against one of the rocks. He started to focus his chakra into the sand around him, readying for a fight if needed.

"All of my genin gather by the forest. Chunin gather out by where Yaku is with me." Kuya said, dashing towards the area Yaku described. She landed on top of one of the rocks, looking around and caught sight of Yaku sinking into the ground. She looked around and saw the two chunin coming towards her and could hear the noise Yaku was speaking of. She then caught glimpse of the enemy. They had been waiting for them, or it was some new enemies now.​
 
Sorelle heard Kuya-sensei's orders to gather at the tree line, but she wasn't one to back away from a fight. She had to surpress her warrior's blood to cool as she did as her sensei ordered. As she dashed forward to the forest line, almost with uncomparable speed, her red eye caught site of Ai as she too moved to meet up with her. "Kuya-sensei, what is the situation?" Sorelle whispered, preparing her chakra for a doppleganger technique, in case she was attacked before the others, or attacked as well while her squad fought as well.

Her feet slid in a skid as she came to a stop, watching as Ai did the same. Her eyed peered around, narrowed, from under the strands of her odd hair. She put her finger to her lips to motion silence to her partner, awaiting a response from her sensei, the chuunin, or Yaku.
 
Yaku came up next to where he sensed the other two genin's chakra, crouched in front of them. He could feel the sands all around being disturbed. "There all over. I can't see how many, the sand is moving too much." He whispered to the two genin with him and the mic next to his ear and cheek.

"I caught them, engaging!" One of the chunin said to the mic. A clashing of weapons was heard and Yaku pulled out a kunai. Yaku could feel where the fighting was going but it was odd, he only sensed one person moving. Are they floating? No...it feels as if the fighter is trying to attack in all directions. He thought, not sure who the one person was. He could see a single black petal floating past him and the other genin. "What the?" He questioned softly, sensing chakra emitting from the petal.

"Got him." Said the one named Yuki. "Got the other." Yin said just after Yuki finished her statement. "No wonder you two where highly recommended." Kuya stated with a chuckle. "Third is in the bag, you three can come out now." Kuya informed, Yaku nodding and leaping up to where the main fighting was at.​
 
Sorelle came out and headed to where Kuya sensei was stationed. She, too, was impressed by the speed in which the Konoha shinobi had dispursed of their enemies. She was almost pissed; all her life she had wanted to be the strongest, to prove she wasn't the outcast people had labeled her as.

Ai was the one to speak up first as they all converged upon the same location. "What did they want?" she asked. "Were they here because of what happened yesterday?"
Sorelle nodded her head thoughtfully, studying the Konoha kounichi. "If we are here, looking for something they may have dropped yesterday, I'm assuming that they must be here to try and retrieve the same thing." She narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "If that is the case, it must be something of high imporantance to our attackers."​
 
Yaku walked up to the group, closer now, and started to think carefully. "Indeed. We need to find it, but since my sands are shifted, I can't-" He started to say when a sudden rush of shadow clones circled the group. "Who the?" Kuya said, pulling out two kunai, Yaku lifting the sand up around him. The two Kunoichi turned into a cloud of smoke and were replaced by clones. "Got ya, didn't we?" One clone said, all of them of the same person. "Now, time for you Sand-Ninjas to die, and leave our master's plans alone." The clone said with a smirk, all of them pulling out kunai.

In that instant a bolt of blue electricity went flying through a large mass of the clones and a strange half-human half-arctic fox came out, about the height of a teenager around thwe age of 16. He started to randomly poke clones, shattering them with but a touch. Kunai went flying, aimed at the half creature, then it would turn behind one clone and was gone. The clones then started to attack each other, or one attacked the many, and soon it turned to chaos. The two Kunoichi came to the scene and grabbed the sand genin and then a teen boy came out and grabbed their sensei and started to dash out of the fray.

They would soon be back in the forest line, the boy crouched down looking at the chaos below. "Hehe, so easy to make them do that. Clones are so useless." He said, chuckling. Yaku walked around the boy and looked down at him. "You can't be..." Kuya said, the boy looking up at her. "I can't be what? Charming, amazing, young, beautiful?" He said with a chuckle. "Are you...no. Selo?" Kuya questioned. "Yup, that's me! Selo Inuzuka, the teenage Sanin!" He said with a bow and smirk. "And I just saved your tails." He said with a smirk, "And finished your mission." He said, holding up a rolled parchment the size of a pencil.​
 
Sorelle wasn't really paying attention as Kuya and the new boy, Selo she heard, were speaking. She was livid. Mainly at herself. She wasn't supposed to be so damned weak! It seemed as if person after person was coming to their rescue and it was beginning to frustrate the young girl. Slim fingers brushed the hair from her eyes as she stared now.

Ai quirked her brow at the young man as he held up the small scroll. "You must be good," she murmured, apparently in awe of the way he seemed so effecient. "Where was it? We've been out here searching for awhile." She added, noticing Sorelle's rather sour attitude.

"Where are you from, anyway?" Sorelle asked, skeptic. "Who sent you?" they had been betrayed so many times since they had taken the original mission and she was beginning to be very hesitant to trust anyone, even her teammates. There was no telling who was against them anymore. She was going to have to become stronger, both in her ninjutsu and her genjutsu. She wasn't going to be fooled so easily anymore. Sorelle glanced to Yaku, wondering what was going through his head at the situation.​
 
Yaku started to contemplate who Selo was, and why he was there. A teenage sanin? That can't be right. Sanin were legendary ninja who mastered techniques nearly no one else could try to accomplish, and were also held in rank to become a Kage of a village, and telling by the clan name Inuzuka, he was of Konoha. "He is a Leaf Shinobi. But how did you become a Sanin?" Yaku questioned, looking to the teen.

Selo chuckled and spun into a cloud of smoke and then where he stood was the Kazekage, "I became a Sanin by learning to transform my self into other beings." He said, and Yaku pulled out a sand kunai, holding it to the Kazekage's throat, "I can do that too, but I am no Sanin." Yaku said, and then Selo turned the sands on Yaku, picking him up into the air, "But you can only mimic their techniques, I can actually become them." He said, turning to him self and dropping Yaku.

Kuya picked Yaku up with a stern look in her eyes. "I became a Sanin because I literally become other people, not a mimicry of them. I literally am them, only difference is I also have my own thought process. So I can work like my self, or act perfectly like another person." He explained. "I am literally every shinobi balled into one." He confirmed with a smug grin. "And The Hokage requested I watch over you all if you couldn't handle it. Now, shall we return this parchment to the Kazekage now?" He said in his playful tone of voice, leaping out of the trees and landing in the middle of the field.​
 
Sorelle watched as Yaku tried to well, confront the rather impressive sanin. If he could take the form of other people, or anyone for that matter, how could the know that this was really his true form. They couldn't, really. She was going to wary of this kid for now, she was certain. Ai was watching all of this with wide eyes; this girl always seemed to be easily impressed, Sorelle mused. Though this man, or teen, was definitely something to be impressed by. "We should be getting back, Sensei, especially if the Hokage sent him to assist us," Sorelle murmured as she moved to follow the one known as Selo. Ai was quick to follow her female teammate. "So...Selo, exactly how old are you?" she asked, Sorelle did. "If you indeed can take the form of anyone, how do we know this is your true form, much less age?" It was kind of a stupid question, because she was a genjutsu user, so she could usually see through an illusion. She wasn't sensing any illusions right now. Ai just blinked and looked at her curiously.​
​
 
Selo stopped and looked at the two curious kunoichi. "Well, I am in fact only sixteen. And the way you know this is my true form, I wouldn't be able to do this." he said, turning into Sorelle. "If I stay in one form for longer than ten minutes, I'm stuck like that. Didn't you think that such a strong power came at a price?" He questioned in her voice, then turned back to normal and started to dash off. "Come on, no time to lose!" He called back, Yaku and Kuya following close behind.

After so long, they would make it back to Sunagakure, and then the Kazekage's office. Kuya told her genin to wait out side while her and Selo took care of the details to the Kazekage. Yaku sat down on the dirt floor of the sand built building. "I don't like him." He said finally after a moment's silence. "He came just in time and defeated a mass of shadow clones with out even making a single one him self. I don't like those sets of coincidences." He explained, pulling his hoodie over his head.​
 
Sorelle wasn't talkative at all as they made their way back to the village, her brows crunched together in obvious displeasure. Her arms were crossed as she sat down beside Yaku later when Kuya sensei had demanded that they stay outside while Selo reported what had occured. "I don't either," she said, leaning back, looking at Yaku, then at Ai who just shrugged her shoulders. "He didn't seem so bad," Ai said, being the rather naive one of their group.

"You weren't the one he was mocking either," Sorelle said, still rather peeved that Selo had been mocking her at all in the first place. "And it's strangely convinient. His timing. Why wasn't he there, helping us look to begin with?" she questioned, almost to herself.​
​
 
Yaku looked up at Ai, then to the door where the Kazekage was at. Just as he did, Kuya walked out, Selo not following behind her. "Mission complete. Your rewards are at your houses. We are to take a few days rest now. The only thing the Kazekage said was to stay near Sunagakure." She said, "Dismissed." She finished and disappeared. Yaku stood up and started to walk off, putting his hands in his pockets, leaving his hood up still.

He would leave to the training field, not saying a word the whole way and stood in the middle of the field, looking at the target dummy. He closed his eyes and then lifted a hand and thrust it forward, sand lances leaping up and piercing the dummy, shattering after so many hit it. "To slow..." He stated, then did it again after raising a sand dummy. He continued this, trying to get faster each time. He was completely oblivious to anyone watching him.​
 
Sorelle watched as Yaku walked off without so much as a backward glance, disregarding their presence as if they were no longer there. Not that that surprised her, honestly. Yaku seemed to be rather cut off from the socialities of the world, as she was, but her hatred is what drove her. She wanted to become someone people would whisper about or proclaim about in legends. Sorelle didn't say anything to Ai, or Kayu, as she left and began to stroll the paths of the village on her own, ending up near the training grounds.

She heard a good deal of racket, then found herself catching Yaku as he was training. Not that that surprised her either, she thought with an unheard chuckle. The young girl's mismatching eyes watched for a moment, before she turned and simply sat with her back to him, lost in thought now.​
 
"Enjoying the show, Sorelle?" Yaku asked, slightly warn out by now. He only glanced over where she was, it only being him and her at the field. "How long have you been there?" He questioned, dropping the sand around him. It was eating up his chakra the longer he held it up, so while he spoke with her, he would let go of it, save his chakra.

He sunk into the ground and came up in front of his comrade, his hands at his side, the gloves still covering his seals, and his sweater on covering the one on his chest. "Tell me, why do you distant your self from others?" He asked, looking at her with curiosity, pulling the hood of his sweater off his head now.​
