Shenlo Pov
Raorin and Yakumo ran toward the roof. Deciding that the stairs would take too long and that I didn't want to use ninjutsu, I decided to walk up the side of the building.
A few moments later, I stood on the railing of the roof of the academy building, I stood there quietly so as to not disturb my sensei's.
When my teammates burst through the roof door, they were surprised to see me already up here. They yelled out in unison, "How are you up here already?"
Yamato and Yugao were initially confused, but when they turned around they too were surprised that I was behind them.
"Doesn't matter, let's start Introductions. I'll go first," I say. "My name is Shenlo Otsutsuki, I am a close to mid-range oriented fighter, however, I use genjutsu to help compensate for my struggle with long-range combat. I excel at kenjutsu and fuinjutsu. I am at an above average skill level with ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and bukijutsu. I like Dango, small amounts of ramen, bladed weapons, and some sweets. I dislike rapists, pedophiles, and people who do things that are inhumane without justified cause. My hobbies are maintaining my weapons, refining my skills, and improving myself by tracking down missing-nin. My dream or ambition you could call it is to honor my mother's death, and become a powerful shinobi that will be known for centuries to come." I spoke, starting to become overwhelmed with emotion at the end of the introduction.
The rest of the team were stuped for a few moments before our senseis' came to. The male sensei spoke first, "My name is Yamato. I sadly don't come from a clan, but I don't let that get to me. My likes are the will of fire, Shinobi of Konoha, and my friends. My dislikes are traitors," He gives me a slight nod of appreciation before continuing, "people who don't know the difference between a kunai and a scroll, and those who show obvious dislike to Konoha and their own allies. My hobbies include architecture, and growing and taking care of plants. My dream is to work hard for the betterment of the village. I am proficient in all ranges of combat. Due to unfortunate events when I was young, I am able to do Mokuton(wood release)."
The female sensei spoke next, "My name is Yugao Uzuki, I like my friends, kenjutsu, and watching the moon. I dislike perverts, rapists, molesters, and those who dislike Konoha. My dream is to become Konoha's kenjutsu mistress. I specialize in close to mid-range combat. I am proficient in kenjutsu, and ninjutsu, I also excel in other categories such as tracking, trapping, and pursuit." She finished. She then motioned for Yakumo to speak.
Yakumo was a girl with a body of small to medium build, standing at five foot six inches(or 168cm). Yakumo possesses long brown hair and light brown eyes. Her hair is straight on one side, but on the other side, it is in a braid. In addition, she sports a clip with two circular designs. For her outfit, she wore a pink kimono held closed by a pink sash with two pockets on the front. She also wore violet baggy pants and red mesh armor underneath her kimono and legs along with sandals that were orange in color.
"Hi, my name is Yakumo Kurama! I am the last member of my clan's main branch. My likes consist of genjutsu and painting. My dislikes are Kurenai Yuhi, for personal reasons. My dream is to prove that I can indeed become a ninja specializing solely in genjutsu, like rock lee. I specialize in long-range combat. My genjutsu can be powerful enough to cause physical damage." She spoke, with an arrangement of emotion.
Next was Raorin(pronounced, Ray-or-in). Raorin was a medium-sized boy. Standing at a height of five foot seven inches, he was taller than most children our age. He had brown shaggy hair. He wore traditionally worn shinobi garments of the Shimura clan. It consisted of a black undershirt, covered by a white and blue robe that covered most of his chest; he also wore normal sandals.
"Hello, my name is Raorin Shimura. I like to sleep, eat food, and read. I dislike being challenged in intelligence competitions. I want to become a chunin and take over as the "eternal guardians of the gate." I specialize in mid-range combat with ninjutsu and Buki-jutsu, consisting of kunai and shuriken, and a nakitoin. (think a naginata, but combine it with a three-sectioned staff.)" He finished speaking.
Yamato-sensei said, "Alright. If you all haven't figured it out yet, then I will tell you. The genin exams were only put in place to root out the candidates who actually had a chance of becoming genin. It is now up to you if you become genin. Each squad, before they become an official squad, has to pass the test of their sensei or senseis. Excluding ourselves from the equation, you three are supposed to make an all-purpose squad."
Yugao picked up where he left off, "Shenlo, is both the brains and the brawn. Yakumo is the support and in some cases the neutralizer. Raorin is the backup brawn. Knowing this you three will be put into a test organized by us two, where you will be dropped off at one of the many entrances to training ground 44. There you will track us, disarm any traps along the way, prove that you can successfully take an object from our bodies, and make it back to the entrance within three days." She left off there, motioning for Yamato to finish.
"After grabbing the object you must spend at least one night in the training ground before making it to the fence. This test will start tomorrow at five am. Make sure to be prepared, and eat plenty of food, because you won't have an opportunity to eat until after dark. Good luck, go home and start preparing." He finished. With their parts spoken Yamato and Yugao shunsined away, leaving swirls of leaves in the shapes of cylinders.
Getting up I prepared to leave when I noticed that there was a note on the door to the staircase. Walking closer, I was able to make out what it read. "Shenlo, the Hokage has attached the address to your new apartment." -Yamato.
Crumbling up the note, I went to find my new place.
1 hour later
I finally found it. After an hour of walking across Konoha, I finally found it. It was a medium-sized apartment, with all the necessary essentials. A kitchen with a stove, oven, sink, and dishwasher. A bathroom with a shower, and running hot water, and electricity. Two bedrooms if needed.
I suddenly felt a presence within the room. I stood still as to not alert the presence to my awareness. I pulsed some chakra two my kusarigama and sent the kunai weight toward where I felt the presence. Turning to look at it, I found a man in a black cloak, with red clouds on it. He wore a swirling orange mask with a singular eye hole. Still wearing my hannya mask, I stare at the figure not saying a thing.
"Who are you?" I ask with a modified voice, getting tired of the silence.
"My name is Tobi! I'm Tobi! You can call me Tobi!" the newly named Tobi spoke.
"Enough with the fake voice and personality. Anyone with half a brain and some common sense could see that it is obviously faked. Who are you really."I ask annoyed.
The figure's posture straightens, the chakra around his voice box resumes back to normal levels. "Hmm, very astute of you. For the Elemental Reaper of Death, your reputation and skill proceed you. I come with a warning."
"Oh? What is the warning? Flattery will get you nowhere." I respond.
"In about a year's time, Orochimaru of the sannin will attack Konoha. I tell you this because, I too will attack Konoha, at a much later date but nonetheless. Konoha still has used for me, so I must see to it that It survives. He also has an inside man, all I know about him is that he has silver hair, and is undercover as a genin. Be warned, Reaper death may become. For you or others, we may not know." He spoke, as he disappeared in a swirl focused around the hole in his mask. For a moment, I thought I had seen a Sharingan, but I chalked it up to my imagination. Writing what the figure said, I put it aside to give to Yamato tomorrow.
Thirty minutes later.
I was getting ready to go to bed when I realized that I didn't have any food for the night or the next morning so I left my apartment to get food.
I walked down the streets gazing up at the moon, admiring its beauty. I looked around it, to see the stars that glittered in the sky. A meteor shower and a lunar eclipse were happening simultaneously. I could feel I was getting closer to the market district, I could hear the distinct sound of bustling villagers. Despite the time of night, the village was still crowded with villagers. I eventually found myself in front of an Akimichi restaurant that also had a grocery store attached. Walking in, I decided to eat some barbecue.
After an hour of eating, I was still hungry but decided to get groceries and head home. I left the bill on the table, along with a generous tip of a 50% value. I grabbed multiple cuts of meat and vegetables. Two sacks of rice, four boxes of noodles, and multiple other items. I went up to the counter, paid for my stuff, and sealed it into a scroll. Afterward, I headed home, along the way I came, admiring the sky once more. I made it home, put my groceries away, and went to bed, thinking of possible outcomes for tomorrow's test.
