(From the martial arts classes Itook, you call anyone sensei that is a teacher... Senpei for a chuunin.. that is what I gather..)
"Naruto, you baka, I told you not to use the damn spoon in the soup yet!" Sakura told Naruto, who was now running around the camp fire, screaming from the hot spoon that was burning his hand. After a few moments, the spoon cooled down and Naruto stood with a sheepish grin on his face.
"I thought you were playing a cruel joke on me... Like last time," Naruto replied hotly, smiling a bit weakly before turning to where he sat before and rejoined his place.
"Speaking of cruel jokes, is Hokage-sama done with Akito-sensei yet?" Sabriel asked, a look of concern on her face. They had been traveling for two nights already, and there was no word on what the fate was with her sensei. She had heard a glimpse of a conversation that was going on between the other four senseis, and the name 'Akito' had popped up a few times, which should've meant that they were speaking about Enko's brother.
Kurenai snorted in her drink lightly as she opened her mouth to speak, "Whenever she feels your sensei has had his punishment... I think that Akito's comment had bent her over the table though," Asuma, Gai, and even Kakashi began to snort in their drinks as well from the comment made by Kurenai. The genins looked to their respected senseis(All but Shinrai, Enko, and Sabriel) in confusement.
Shikamaru began to ponder what was said before his eyes widened and a smirk appeared on his face, "Oh, that is bad, Akito-sensei's perdicament is...too troublesome," Shinrai raised his eyes but did not say anything as he sat quietly against the tree nearby the campfire. For the last two nights, he had not said anything to anybody, except for one or two words to his own teammates.
Ino had wondered about Shinrai the first night and his silence. She now wanted to confront him as she almost silently walked to where Shinrai was sitting.
"Why don't you speak much?" She asked him as she sat down beside him. It only took a quick glance down to his lap to see that he was reading a book, which thankfully wasn't the perverted books that Kakashi-sensei was reading. He looked up absently at the blond haired girl and sighed.
"Because there isn't much reason to right now, we are just sitting here until we need to sleep.." He replied before looking down at his book again, his eyes scanning the pages. Ino groaned and shook her head.
"Well, why not speak to your teammates instead of reading?" She asked again, trying to spark him into conversation.
Shinrai scoffed before smirking lightly at Ino's comment," Not to be insulting... Other than Akito-sensei, who doesn't count, I am the only male in the team...Conversations started by Enko or Sabriel are usually involving who they want to date, so I do not pay attention,"
"So why reading?"
"It is a habit I picked up from Akito-sensei. He bought me a few books to read while we are camping for the missions, as to have something do do while I am on lookout. Although I can't read as fast as him, I can read hundreds of information in hours," Ino raised her eyebrows and scoffed herself as she found herself saring at the young man. 'He seems like Shikamaru... Just not as troublesome... Damn Shikamaru!,now I am thinking like him.
Shinrai sighed some and looked up," Your teammate is Naru Shikamaru, correct?"
"Yes.. Why?"
"Do you, by chance, have any idea where he would be?"
Ino nodded slightly, her eyes looking confused. In the small amount of time after the Chuunin exam, she had changed a small amount, not pining over Sasuke.. Seeing that he had a girl of a different hair color in mind," He might be at the camp, but if he isn't there, check the trees."
Shinrai nodded in thanks as he walked off towards the camp, "Thank you,"
"Hey! Wait up!" She told him as she followed, "Why did you miss the last Chuunin Exams?"
"We had a mission..." Shinrai replied shortly, looking towards the ground as his pace slowed to a stop,"The final mission that the Third gave..."
Ino raised her eyebrows as he started walking again," How long was the mission?"
"Almost a year... We came back a week before this mission, but we-" Shinrai began, but two figures from the right had Shinrai taking two kunai from his pouch and holding them tightly until two red eyes and the red embers from the cigarrette showed who it was that had startled him.
"So.. What are two Genins doing at the edge of camp alone... What were you two doing there?" Kurenai asked with an amused smirk as she looked between Shinrai and Ino.
Ino's face began to flush and turn red as she waved her hands in defence,"We were not doing anything!"
"Oh? Why is it that your blushing then?" Shinrai sighed and moved past them to the center of the camp, where Chouji was sitting by the fire.
Chouji looked up as he pulled a chip from the bag, "Are you looking for Shikamaru?"
"Yes.. How did you know?" Shinrai replied, an eyebrow raised in suspiciousment.
"Shikamaru said that if you would come out of your reading phase... It would most likely to speak to him. He is up at the top of the trees, gazing at the stars,"
"Really? Well, thank you," Shinrai grabbed his pack and handed Choujia bag of chips that Shinrai had been saving. Chouji nodded in response before turning back to gaze at the fire and to eat his chips. Shinrai looked above him to the tree branches, before leaping silently and seamlessly onto one and beginnning to alternate between branches.
"Flarea Shinrai, I presume?" A voice called out as Shinrai reached the top of the trees, where the perfect view of the night stars and the clouds were in full view.
He nodded and spun to where the voice had emitted. He saw a form sitting lazily against the main truck of the tree and to the stars, "Yes, your Naru Shikamaru, right?" Shikamaru nodded as he gazed upwards again, "The clouds are different tonight.. They looked normal two nights ago,"
"Your right, it is probraly due to the different currents in the air," Shikamaru replied as he saw Shinrai sit on an adjacent branch through the corner of his eye, "You're the students under Shaoku Akito, the mizu demon, aren't you?"
"Yes, and you're the one who has a 200 IQ, and you have the famous Naru kekkai genkai of shadow manipulation, correct?"
"You are correct,"
"You are also said to be one of Konoha's laziest ninjas, you even gave up your rank of chuunin," Shikamaru began to chuckle and smirk at the last comment before facing the one who made the comment.
"I gave up my rank of chuunin because the probability of working well with another team would have went down by 50,"
"Team loyalty eh?"
"You could call it that, but There would be no other team that I could work that efficiantly with, not counting any of the teams right here," Shinrai nodded in response, having been told that the other four of these teams were said to be the four of the best up and coming genins. Shinrai smirked a bit before staring back up at the sky, gazing at the mixture of clouds and stars, 'Very peaceful... Very calm up here,' He thought before sighing softly.
"I understand what you mean by working with other teams, they are almost like clouds or stars. They are in certain formations t certain times, and for different situations. You get darker clouds for rain, and whiter clouds for a bright sunny day, but then you will get these unusual clouds that appear sometimes at night..." Shinrai said inquisitively, his eyes wandering across through the grey clouds that barely contrasted with the black night. Shikamaru muttered something in agreement before it became silent, the sounds from the camp below were faint at the treetops, only being muffled noises that did not really bother anybody.
"A two year mission... This is way too troublesome... There is another reason why they are doing this, but if there is, I have no idea as of yet. I will speak with Asuma-sensei tomarrow night, when he isn't trying to get some alone time with Kurenai,"
Line Here... Yes... A line after not being anywhere for a long time.
"A-Ano... Enko-san..." Hinata muttered shyly as she accidently bumped into Enko.
Enko absently looked up and shook her head," No problem...I do have a question though.. About Naruto Uzumaki,"
"A-Ano...What do you mean?" Hinata asked, her lavender eyes franticly looking around, almost for an escape route. 'Oh no, she is going to ask me about Naruto-kun.. What do I do?'
Enko sighed some as she pushed her own blue hair from her face, "I see you staring at him all the time, so I guess you know him the most... Do you know why he is always so hyper and itching to start a fight?"
"I-I think it is because he wants to become Hokage to prove something...I-I-It might have something to do with why all the adults glare at him..." She replied, the last sound from her mouth almost coming out as a small and angry growl.
"Hmm... I understand," She smiled to Hinata lightly and nodded to her, "Thank you..And good luck,"

Tenten sat on a low tree branch as she watched Lee doing his five hundreth jumping-jack, "Lee, do you have any idea where Neji-san is?" Lee shook his head as he jumped up and down, even after his five hundreth straight jumping jack, he wasn't even sweating.
"I think he might be with Gai-sensei debating on the flames-of-youth, as like the first time we all met!" Lee replied happily, causing Tenten to groan before leaning and laying down on the branch.

"Sasuke-kun, are you still mad about this new team?" Sakura asked as she saw Naruto and Sasuke both hit adjacent trees.
"No, I am not.." Sasuke snapped quickly between a pant. He continued to hit the tree along with Naruto, none of the three talking for another few minutes before a snap of a twig behind the three caused them to turn quickly. Standing behind them stood the brown haired Sabriel, "What are you doing here?"
"Why do you hate us so much?" Sabriel asked as she clenched her fists tightly as she stared furiously to the three. Sasuke stared at the girl before turning around, scoffing.
"I don't like weaklings... Especially whiny ones," Sasuke told her before moving farther to the edge of the camp, Sakura following and leaving Naruto standing there.
"Don't listen to Sasuke-bastard, he is an asshole to many people," Naruto said to her, placing a hand on her shaking shoulder," Lets go back to the center of the camp,"

"Now can I leave?" Akito pleaded as he looked to Tsunade. He had been working for two days and nights, with only small breaks in between, doing random chores that the Hokage had chosen for him.
Tsunade grinned before sighing a bit,"I guess, make sure you take these," She told him, pointing to two stacks of letters," One stack is yours, from your secret admirer, the rest is for the group, most likely Sasuke fanclub members,"
Akito nodded and grabbed the stack and turned to leave before Tsunade called him back," Yes Hokage-sama?"
Tsunade's face was already etched with worry, "Be careful...Alright?"
"Always..Seeya later...Baa-chan" Akito said before speeding down the stairs and towards his freedom.
