Channel 53- Types
Fuji, Oishi and Taka were chillaxing in the room that had been given to them. They could hear the rain hitting the roof, and looked quite mopey.
Suddenly, the doors open and Choutarou trudged in, drenched head to toe.
"Well?" said Fuji.
"No, it's still raining…" he reported. "And it's still cloudy."
"No moon then." Oishi sighed.
"And it looks like Gakuto and Jirou are leaving with Shishido and the others soon. I hope they don't run into any trouble on the way. And I hope the rain doesn't pick up…I wouldn't want them to catch colds…"
"Enough, it's three in the morning…" Taka said, looking like he was ready to fall asleep at any point in time.
"The sooner Ootori gets his powers back, the sooner we can release everyone else from the prison." Fuji said.
"I don't know about waiting another day until I get my powers back." Choutarou said, looking depressed as he went where everyone else was sitting.
"Keep in mind, Ootori, that you didn't have powers for the first thirteen years of your life." Oishi pointed out. "It's only a recent development that's only about three weeks old."
"Actually, it's officially been twenty-two days." Choutarou said.
"I said ABOUT three weeks." Oishi reminded him.
"On the bright side, we only have eleven more people to get." Taka said.
"That is not a bright side." Said Fuji.
"Why?" said Taka.
"Because that's still eleven more people." Fuji answered. "As opposed to NONE." Fuji abruptly stopped and looked at Choutarou. "You're dripping all over me. Go away."
"Where am I supposed to go?" Choutarou whined.
"Outside." Said Fuji, pointing at the door.
"It's raining!" Choutarou said.
"The skies might open up for a moment and if you're in here then you'll miss your chance." Fuji pointed out.
"I'm tired though…" Choutarou shivered. "And cold."
"Stop arguing with me." Fuji ordered.
Choutarou looked defeated, so he lowered his head and sadly left the room.
Meanwhile, outside in the rain…
"Listen up Ninja Recruits!" Jirou said as he paced in front of our five ninjas-in-training as they looked less than enthusiastic to accept orders from him. Gakuto stood by and looked pleased with their authority over them, and the only reason this authority was being perpetuated was because there was a handful of ninjas native to the Universe standing by to make sure the ninjas in training did not step out of line in the presence of their Lord's Sons.
"Oh come on, it's not even light outside yet…" Momo yawned.
"Yes, and keep in mind that the heavy rains we are currently experiencing make it impossible to see any of the moon whatsoever so you all know what THAT means." Said Gakuto.
"Poo." Said the five recruits.
"Okay, so what's the point of getting up at three AM to just talk about pointless stuff?" Kirihara whined a little bit.
"Our mission begins today!" Jirou answered.
"Mission?" their eyes lit up.
"Not THAT mission." Said Jirou.
"Aww…"
"Our mission is to travel to the Tower of Gharinhal." Jirou said.
"Where-in-hall?" Shishido repeated with a raised eyebrow.
"Be quiet, all of you!" ordered one of the native ninjas since he was sick of hearing them question their ways as of yet.
"What he said!" said Gakuto. "The next person who speaks out of turn will be thrown in prison!"
This got everyone quiet.
"All right, that's better." Said Gakuto. "Continue, Jirou."
"Thank you, Gakuto." Said Jirou. "We will travel to the Tower of Gharinhal which is just on the other side of the forest south of the monastery."
"Once there, we will meet up with Lord Quentin." Gakuto added. "He is a neutral party in the war and is generally gracious to accept us."
"Generally?" Eiji repeated, but then he quickly closed his mouth.
"Yes, generally." Gakuto replied. "This is his tenth and final day of mourning over the recent loss of his daughter."
"We are going to show our respects to Lord Gharinhal and hope to negotiate a treaty that would take him off the neutral list and onto the ally list." Jirou said.
"Keep in mind that this is normally a mission we would have no problem completing without any of you," Gakuto went on. "And this is also your training mission for us to see the full extent of your abilities. So we have a message for you…"
"Don't fall behind." They said together.
Then they gave each other a high five.
"They're enjoying this too much." Said Hiyoshi under his breath.
"We will now return your weapons to you." Said Jirou as he picked up a bag that was on the ground. "Ninja-In-Training Shishido. Here is your utility belt and fruity skin tight silver costume."
"WHAT did you just say?" Shishido demanded and when he was JUST about to wreck havoc on them when the others held him back, since they had happened to notice that the other ninjas had all made a grab for their weapons.
"Just ignore them!" Momo advised.
"Ninja-In-Training Momoshiro." Jirou continued, taking more stuff out of the bag. "Your sword."
Momo took the sword and waited.
Jirou just stood there looking like he was done.
"That's it?" Momo said.
"Yes." Said Jirou. "Everything else that was taken off your person was dubbed non-lethal."
"Well I don't JUST want my sword." Said Momo. "What about my telescope? It's not a weapon, but it's useful!"
"Oh yes." Gakuto leaned in. "The telescope, right. Well, we decided that it really WAS useful so I keep it on my person at all times."
He pulled out Momo's telescope from his ninja pack.
"Hey!" said Momo. "That's mine! Let's trade the sword and the telescope!"
"Sorry, no can do." Said Gakuto with a sigh. "I am a strictly Scouting and Close Combat-Type Ninja."
"What?" said everyone.
Gakuto gave a heavy sigh. "I am a Scouting and Close Combat-Type Ninja." He repeated. "Jirou is a Strategic and Combat-Type Ninja. Shishido, what we gathered from your tests and weapons was that you were a Close Combat and Multi Weapon Type-Ninja. Momo, you're a Brute Strength and Sword-Type Ninja. It's not THAT hard to understand."
"Well keep in mind that you haven't explained any of that to us." Hiyoshi reminded them.
"Ninja-In-Training Hiyoshi." Said Jirou, handing Hiyoshi his wand. "We established that you are a Close Combat-Type Ninja. Here is the stick we found."
"That seems about right." Said Hiyoshi who had a very mediocre reaction. As you just saw.
"So he gets his stick but I don't get my telescope?" Momo demanded.
"Why would I want the stick?" said Gakuto with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not a stick." Said Hiyoshi. "It's my wand."
"Your wand?" said EVERYONE.
"Yes." Said Hiyoshi, looking violated. "God damn it."
"Whatever, let's just move on." Gakuto urged Jirou.
"Ninja-In-Training Kikumaru." Said Jirou. "We established that you are a Scouting-Type Ninja. Here is your knife."
"Scouting?" said Eiji. "That's all? That's so useless!"
"Well, it didn't come from nowhere." Said Gakuto with a slight cough.
"That was uncalled for!" said Eiji sadly as he took his butter knife.
"And finally, Ninja-In-Training Kirihara." Said Jirou. "You are a Mounted Multiple Weapons-Type Ninja. Here are your numerous guns, sticks of dynamite, rope and various other little things that we found. And your horse is behind the monastery with the other horses."
"Separated from the male ones, I hope." Kirihara said.
"What?" said Jirou.
"I hope my horse isn't with the male horses." Kirihara repeated. "Because she's a girl, and apparently she's quite flirtatious and promiscuous."
"Wait, you're talking about a horse, right?" said Gakuto.
"Stop obsessing over your horse!" Momo ordered.
"Yeah, what the hell?" said Gakuto. "It's just a horse."
"She's not JUST a horse." Said Kirihara. "She's my horse and I'm just looking out for her well being!"
"Don't you have any friends?" said Hiyoshi with a raised eyebrow.
Kirihara took a moment to before he answered, and then he bowed his head in shame. "No." he said finally.
"Aw, it's okay, Kirihara, WE'LL be your friends!" Eiji cheered as he hugged Kirihara.
"No, no, that's enough, NO HUGGING!" ordered the ninjas who were obviously homophobic.
"Well, in response to your question, Kirihara." Said Gakuto. "No, we did not separate your horse from the male ones."
"Aw man." Said Kirihara, looking defeated.
"Listen up, New Recruits!" said Jirou after everyone had calmed down. "We're going to leave very soon!"
Jirou looked at Gakuto who nodded.
"Okay, we're leaving right now." Jirou revised his statement.
"This is lame." Shishido sighed.
"We can take it from here." Said Gakuto to the random ninjas who nodded and ran off.
"Oh good!" said Momo. "I thought for a second that we were going to have to actually go on the mission."
"We DO." Said Gakuto. "And I have half a mind to slap you across the face for speaking out of turn!"
"Gakuto, I have sort of a random question." Eiji said. "Is Oishi a good wife?"
"That's it!" said Gakuto as he grabbed Eiji's collar and proceeded to slap him across the face, but of course Eiji retaliated since he obviously had pent up anger against Gakuto for having the fortune of being married to Oishi.
"How long is this going to go on for…?" Jirou whined.
"Break it up, break it up!" Momo ordered as he got in between the flippy doubles playing bitches and separated them. They swung at each other wildly, and the others decided to join in on restraining them.
"I get the feeling that this is going to be a very long mission." Said Hiyoshi with a sigh.
