"Do you have everything?"Temari looks to Genin, watching her double check everything.
Turning to Temari who waited patiently, you look up at her smiling."I am ready."you assure her, she gives you a nod."Good. We just have to wait for the rest."
She looks behind you, doing the same turning around seeing three figures racing over to where you and Temari stood at the entrance of the village. Those three figures getting closer had to be the ones that also assigned on this mission, which you and Temari where to accompany them. Mainly you, because of being a medical-nin. Which you found out must now tag along with any team that left the village.
Exicited upon this being your first mission, a bit soon since you just barely arrived back to the village. But you where ready none the less, plus the prospect of meeting new faces would be even better.
The three figures where closing in, seeing Temari standing there with...her. May. Growling to themselves at the girl's presence, they really wished it was only Temari and some other medical-nin to come with them. But they where assigned with her so what could they do. Speeding up, already a bit behind knowing Temari was not a fan of those being late.
They reach the jonin and her genin. Standing up respectfully to her."S-sorry for being late."the first one a female with straight chin-length brown hair, dark eyes and fair skin. Dressed in a dark shirt with a skirt, a Sunagakure flak jacket with thigh-high stockings, brown sandals and black gloves. Apologizes to Temari.
Temari looks at her, but nods her head. She places a hand on your shoulder."Everyone this is, May O'Neil. She is going to be your medical-nin on this mission. All our mission consist of is reconnaissance, nothing more. Understand?"
The three stand in salute and together in unison."Yes!"
"Good, May."Temari gets your attention."This will be your team, Matsuri."she points to the girl with chin length brown hair."Yukata."she moves on to the young girl with fair-skinned with long, dark hair and large, brown eyes framed by noticeable eyelashes. She wore the same attire as Matsuri."And lastly, of their team. Mikoshi."The only male. An earnest looking young man with short, brown, spiky hair and wears black, round glasses. Dressed in light yellow and dark blue zipped jacket and blue and light grey pants with black shinobi sandals. He also has a light violet sash wrapped over his right shoulder and black fingerless gloves. All wore their forehead protectors though Matsuri wore her's around her neck while the other two had it fasten around their forehead.
Smiling friendly at them, hold out a hand."It is a pleasure to meet you all. I will make sure, you will all return back home, safely."
Mikoshi extends his hand to yours, shaking it."Thank you, it will be a pleasure working with you as well."
Seeing formalities where handle, Temari tells everyone it was time to move out. She takes the lead of the team, taking off you follow her with the other three keeping the pace."Just so you know, we're also meeting up with another team."she tells everyone.
At the Northern board of the land. Three other people where waiting, one a young man the other two females. The young man was dressed in a green one piece bodysuit the same as Lee, the man was fairly tall with a rather fit physique. He has light skin, and spiky taupe grey hair, combed backwards except for two bangs. He has a number of scars on both body and face which somewhat made him look older, despite being the same age as his teammates, also a scar one running vertically across his throat.
The next one a female with brown eyes with black pupils and sandy-brown hair tied in a ponytail with two strands of hair positioned on each side of her face and two braided strands. Dressed in mesh armour body suit under a red tube dress with a blue purple belt, fingerless gloves, shin guards, and black shinobi sandals. She also carries two small white fans with fur on them.
Lastly the last female, she was shorter than the other two. With brown hair tied in two ponytails that curl the further it reaches the ends. She has two blushes on each side of her face and orange eyes with black pupils. Wearing sleeveless mesh armour under a tan overall top with grey elbow protectors. She also wears light blue shorts with purple leg warmers and black shinobi sandals.
The three of them waited, patiently. The girl with the pigtails looks up head, due to her enhanced eyesight she was able to see some figures coming."Temari is just few kilometers away."
Her friends look in the direction of their friend, though they did not have enhanced eyesight just as she did. Could not see, so they waited a bit, and saw a few dots in the distance. The dots became closer, looking harder they could Temari coming with four others behind her. Three they knew, but the other one, the one with long pink hair hair flying at the same pace as Temari. Astonished by this fleet, there was no sign she was expelling chakra at all. She flew across like a gracefully bird, over water.
It didn't take long for Temari and the four to reach them. Quickly Temari apologizes for being late, quickly looking to Matsuri and her group, making the poor girl jump. From Temari's calmly yet upsetting gaze. She turns back to the three, calling her genin to her side.
Responding, you glide over to her. The three she gets ready to introduce you to, look at you seeing you hoovering above the ground a just a few inches."This is May O'Neil, my genin also the medic-nin of this reconnaissance team. May this is Sen."she gestures to the tallest girl."Shira."to the only male, and lastly to the shortest of the group."Yoma."
The three look at you, you nod your head extending a hand to them."Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you. I promise you will come back well."you tell them the samething, you told Matsuri and her team.
Sen smiles at you, extending her hand. She shakes it."Aren't you cute, so you're the addition to the village."
"You are aware of me?"
She nods her head."Yes, pretty much everyone is. Word does travel quick."she turns to Temari."So where are we going?"
Temari starts to talk, you listen when you felt eyes on you. Turning you find the young man Shira looking at you. He realizes you looking at him, assuming you where looking at him, when you actually where looking at his attire. Realizing it was the same as Lee's and Guy. Smiling at it happily, which Shira took it as smile to him. His normal calm and collected demeanor, cracked he looks away bashfully. Yome who stood next to him, noticed his reaction she looks to you who had turned back to listening to what Temari said. Her brows frown at you.
After Temari and Sen finish talking, she turns to address everyone."Alright, listen up. We're heading to Land of Earth, we don't have the best relationship with them. So their being generous, with allowing us to just collect any information. But only on the outer part of the village. We're going to the caverns close to the village, I will talk with the Tsuchikage, who will meet us there. We together as unit, until I saw otherwise. Understand?"
Everyone nods their heads, understanding. Temari looks at everyone like a falcon before she took off. Quickly you fly after her, the others follow just like you.
It took some time getting out of the Land of Wind, everyone stayed close like Temari said, you made sure to stay by her side. Your eyes up ahead focused and alert. That you didn't pay attention to burning eyes upon your back. But you sensed it, turning you look towards Yoma, Matsuri and Yukata. Smiling at them, you decide to ease the tension you felt from them. Dropping down next to them, when Shira almost bumps into you.
The two you avoid eachother just in time. He mumbles his apologizes you."It is alright."you tell him, regaining yourself perfectly fine, still keeping your look at his attire again, pointing to it."Are you a companion of, Rock Lee?"
He was surprised."You know, Lee?"
Nodding your head."Yes, he was the first along with Naruto and Hinata to whom I meet from their village."
Shira smiles at you with pride of his outfit."Yes, Lee gave this to me as a atonement of our friendship. He and I are kinder spirits. He understands what I have been through."
Sensing the emotions from Shira, you could tell he held them very dear."That is good. You really value him, which is good. He is quite a character, a spirit all his own. This aura is very overpowering."
Shira nods his head in agreement with you."Yes."
You smile at him."The outfit suits you well, it resonates well. Your attachment to it, is wonderful. So you are like Lee?"
Shira nods his head."Yes, like him I can only use Taijutsu. All my life, I've trained to prove others wrong. To become a ninja like Lee in my own right. And it was through Lord Kazekage, that I was able to do so."
"How so?"
"Back at the Academy, if one could not use neither Genjutsu or Ninjutsu. Then you are not allowed in. But it was, Lord Kazekage who took that away. A blockage in my way, that was finally knock down."Shira looks up ahead."He was kind to do such a thing for me. I who many ridiculed and mocked, he saw something important, and because of that I am truly thankful."
Touched by his words, Shira expressed his thanks to Kazekage. Holding him high. It brought a smile to you."You are important..."Shira over heard you. He looks at you questionably."To Mr. Gaara..."you look to him smiling. And the young man couldn't help but flush a tiny bit looking away. Looking at Shira, you look around at the others. With one thought on your mind, how important they all where. Shira was trying to read what your smiling was thinking. Clearly it was important. He was about to say something to you, when Temari tells everyone they would be setting up camp here. She calls for you, and you go to her side quickly, leaving a wondering Shira.
