I quietly walk through the village by myself ignoring any looks or whispered snide remarks I receive as I look for some fruit to buy and snack on, I'm by myself because Kai is training with his team and I skipped my team meeting since I know we're not going to be here long, especially since Rei is on his way, hopefully. I bite my lip at the realization he could never come for me or Kai but am pulled fro the thoughts by being tripped. I feel my knees hit the ground before my hands do and my annoyance sky rockets as I look up and see the back of an older civilian. It takes me less than 3 seconds to stand up, wipe the dirt from my hands, turn around, and call out, "Watch it!" My voice seems to carry really well since he stops dead in his tracks and turn his head, I knew he saw me before he even turned back to me. I watch carefully as he wobbles back to me in an intoxicated manner, "'scuse me little girl?" he asks looking down at me exaggeratedly. I glare up at the man, "I said, watch it drunkard!" I growl hatefully, he gives me a crooked grin showing his disgusting teeth, "I dont have to listen to any pipsqueak outsider" He spits at me hatefully, something inside me just seems to click and my glare hardens, "Yeah well this 'outsider' could put you on your ass, drunkard" I say spitefully. My words seem to click something in his head as well as something in his eyes changes.
My eyes narrow slightly as he brings the bottle laying in his hand idly to start crashing down on my head, I bring up my right arm and shield myself knowing my arm was gonna be bruised tomorrow. I re-open my eyes and see a sinister smirk on his lousy face, "I would stop now old man, I am way stronger than you think" I warn him while twisting my wrist and gripping the bottle easily pulling it from his grasp as I glare heatedly at him, no remorse or mercy were in either of our eyes as we glared at each other, and just as the man was about to do something a old, familiar voice pips up. "I believe, for your own safety, that you should leave now or risk dying" the voice says coolly, the air around us dropping severely, I knew only one person that did that, someone that I never thought would be in this village. I hear the people around that were shuffling by, or watching the old man and I's exchange gasp and whisper as they saw him. I felt the anger on my face fall into my natural stoic poise as I kept my head down, not daring to look up out of respect, I can see and hear the old drunkard shuffling away out of fear and I choose then to drop down to my knee putting one of my hands on the dusty ground, keeping my head down showing my respect and obedience for my sensei.
"Up." he says simply, my body moves out of reflex to his words, standing up in front of him dusting off my hands and making direct eye contact with him, "Chiruzu-sensei, why are you here?" I ask, as I glance his body up and down seeing him in his regular dark colored robes, with his forehead protector around his waist as a belt, his hair grey from age and put in a bun in the back of his head, a hat sits on his head as well, one he usually doesn't wear unless it is too sunny. He glances at me from looking around the village, "Well, I decided to see where they abducted my students to." he says good-naturedly, well as good naturedly as someone like him, I give a curt nod, deciding not to speak, "Speaking of, where is Kai?" I feel some tension release from my shoulders as he doesn't mention Rei, to which I'm grateful for, "Training with his team." I say glancing back the way I came as I sense somewhat familiar chakra's, "And where are you supposed to be right now?" he asks, reading me like an open book, I wince as I remember the first and only time I skipped one of his classes, I was beaten for the first time that day by the village kids for causing more work for them because of his sour attitude. Before I got to answer him my team mates and Kakashi walk out of the civilian crowd all of them except Kakashi looking around.
I feel myself wince again as his hand claps on my shoulder, "Do you know them?" he asks his voice tight as the realization of what i did dawn on him, I give a curt nod and the grip on my shoulder tightens to the point that i know there will be bruises in the shape of his fingers tomorrow, which is hard to do since I don't bruise easily, I watch as Kakashi's gaze lands on both me and my sensei and he leads team 7 to us, as soon as they get in front of us Sakura starts ranting, "I cant believe you didn't show up for the team meeting! We were waiting for you and got started late because of you!" she whines, I cant contain the scoff and eye roll that accompany my next words, "Well at least it gave you more time to fantasize about Sasuke." The words barely leave my mouth before the familiar and harsh connection of a hand to the back of my head resounds throughout my face, the blow causing a headache to form immediately, and my head to bow out of respect yet again for my sensei's decision. I could hear the shocked gasp that came from both Naruto and Sakura, my fists clench at my sides as they do this with the need to rub the pain away, I pick up my head after they do this my glare harsh and fierce, "Apologize." Chiruzu's voice states firmly, I quickly go to object but at the sheer feeling he gives off I drop it and look at Kakashi, "I'm sorry for not showing up." I say and bow at the waist.
*3rd POV*
The whole of team 7, even if all of them didn't show it, was shocked by not only her actions but the reason she even apologized, said reason standing slightly behind her with a cold expression on his face. Sakura couldn't believe her eyes as the old mans hand connected with the back of Rin's head, creating a harsh sound, and ripping a gasp from her throat involuntarily, she would have never guessed that was how they kept their Gennin in line. Naruto was also shocked by the resounding noise the harsh blow made and the look of pain that flashed across her face before she dropped her head, the gasp came out as his widened eyes made an appearance, he couldn't believe how he had just treated the seemingly cold little girl, no matter how mean she seemed he could see the vulnerability in her eyes as she was forced t apologize for something she didn't believe she did wrong. Sasuke was probably the least choked out of everyone, kids who act like her don't just come from perfect pasts, although he didn't widen his eyes or gasp, one of his eyebrows raised as he watched the exchange between the older man and Rin, watching intently as he said 'Apologize' and as she was about to rebuke the idea he only had to gain one look and it was as if she could just feel it as she quickly clapped her mouth shut, turning to Kakashi and apologizing before bowing at the waist, while he wasn't shocked with how she was treated he was shocked by how obedient and yet how much of a rebel she seemed to be.
Kakashi gave an awkward look as he watched the sensei deliver the blow to the back of Rin's head, the sheer noise it made was enough to know it hurt without actually having to feel it, the chemistry between Rin and the older man seemed teacher-student , he deduced as he watched the exchange between them, he was surprised by how quickly her defiant facade dropped after being told to apologize, Kakashi's eyes widen as Rin turns to him with a mostly earnest look in her eyes and apologizes bowing at the waist to show her respect. He gave her a curt nod as she bent back up. Rin glances over at her old sensei waiting for him to introduce himself, which he does quickly, "I am Chiruzu Ito, I am a sensei in my village, and Rin;s sensei" He says formally, "Old" Naruto pips up, everyone's eyes land on him, Rin's eyes are wide with slight amusement but mostly in disbelief, "Excuse me?" Chiruzu asks as his eyebrow ticks in annoyance at being called old by a boy who would be a disgrace in his village, "I mean you're her old sensei, Kakashi is her new sensei" Naruto explains further after getting the death stare from Chiruzu. He turns to Rin, "Well then i hope you don't mind me continuing my training with her, she seems to be given too much freedom when it comes to your training sessions and a child like her...cant have too much freedom." as Chiruzu says this Rin's whole demeanor changes.
Her fists clench along with her jaw as her feet spread out shoulder width apart her head tilted forward her longer bangs shadowing over her green eyes, now a harsh dark green, almost black. "And why would that be?" Kakashi asks, challenging the fellow sensei in front of him. The look he receives for it is haunted with memories, "I don't think that that is any of your concern." he says his voice returning to the bone chilling tone it was before, Rin's head pops up and she glares at Chiruzu almost hatefully, "Go on an tell them." she challenges as well, her glare only hardens as she gains a look from her sensei. Team 7 watches the exchange with bated breath as the air between them becomes full with tension and blood lust. Chiruzu watches his secretly favorite student glare at him with such intensity you could taste the hatefulness in it, but being who he is he wasn't just going to take this disrespect so he turns to face her fully, "I hope you do realize that I am not a friend of yours, I am your elder and your sensei and you will respect me" he says, this causes Rin to scoff, "Why don't you gain my respect first, old man!" she almost yells, her cheats heaves as if saying that had physically taken her breath from her. and as Chiruzu suddenly becomes the one full of tension Team 7 doesn't expect him to lash out. Chiruzu lifts one of his leg and turns his body horizontally, kicking Rin in the chest, all in one swift motion.
Rin lets out a strangled sound as she goes flying back, completely expecting a violent reaction to her disrespectful remark, this has happened before, not many times but it has happened, Rin used to be quite defiant and the only way she was actually taught was with violence it seemed. As Rin slams into a tree quite a few feet away blood spurts from her mouth, again something she wasn't surprised about but it still hurt like hell and tasted like metal. The whole of Team 7 was in shock as they watched the exchange, no one being able to believe how he had just treated her, Naruto was fed up with it and charged at Chiruzu before anyone could even think twice, and in that same motion Rin was in front of her sensei blocking the kunai Naruto was aiming at her sensei with her own, who could've very well protected himself. Everyone was still in shock as they watched, especially the civilians, "I deserved that." Rin spoke, barely able to speak in that moment as she spat out more blood mixed with saliva, No one could believe how all of this was going down, Team 7 just came here to find their missing member and get back into the mission but instead have met Rin's sensei and shown their quite violent relationship, now they didn't know what they had gotten themselves into.
