The Path A Ninja Walks...
Chapter Three
1,2,3!
This, is Me!
A/N: WARNING-The character known as Sage Amesawa uses a lot of profanity and colorful language as part of his "colorful" personality. Be prepared if you are sensitive to that. Please note it is not because I condone such manner of speech, and also the character does not mean to use it as a way to be harmful, it is just his personality-
Hana, a carrot-top decked out in the color teal and a flower emblem embroidered in her kimono-esque drape released a long slow puff of breath that added volume to her fringe.
"They're late." she muttered.
"Who?" a champaigne-haired male huffed as he twirled his electric blue fringe around his finger," Bitch-Sensei? Or our team bitch?"
"...Both." the girl gritted her teeth and began shaking her leg impatiently, being bothered by this boy's way of speaking. Suddenly the door slid open and Saseme stepped foot inside, startling the two who waited in the empty class room.
"Oh, sorry sweetie, I'm pretty sure the younger class already met their teams and have begun training." said the female giving Saseme an awkward glance,"Better luck next year."
"I was told to meet in here. Today." Saseme said back without much of a phase. "Apparently my assigned team had to be held back 3 days so that I could make my way back home from the Desert...I do apologise."
"Wait...what?" the other huffed,"The dessert?"
"Woah-ho NO WAY!" The male burst into the conversation with an excited sparkle in his bright blue eyes. They matched his fringe quite nicely.
"Aren't you that prodigy!?" he asked.
"Prodigy?" Saseme blinked with a confusion that matched the other girl in the room.
"Yeah, you know, That Uchiha chick!"
She twitched at such a label.
"Apparently she was a whole year above her own twin brother." he stated to Hana to explain, "And she was so advanced she had to be trained for a while in one of our neighboring villages...or...something like that." he shrugged and let out a hardy laugh, "So all this time you have just been training in The Hidden Sand Village!? Man how lucky are we!?" he grinned,"To have such a bad babe on OUR team!"
"Hmph...'babe' hardly!" the other female grumbled and huffed her chest, most likely to emphasize the size of her well-formed bossom. Saseme twitched as she felt this girl try to size her up. To care about such things was beneath her... Though she did let out a sigh and cross her arms over her chest as she sat back in an empty seat away from the other two.
"Hey, just because you're more developed than she is, doesn't make her any less of a woman!" Said the boy, coming to her aide, even though Saseme did not ask for it. He leaned in close to whisper,"Now maybe if her brain be the size of her breasts, perhaps she would be more formidable~" he teased giving Saseme a playful nudge. Even she had to let out a slight chuckle. Perhaps this one wasn't as bad as his mouth was...
"I hear you're a real bad bitch~" he grinned,"I look forward to working with you!"
Saseme twitched. At least his intentions were meant to be good...
"You know, a girl doesn't much like to be referred to as bitch you ass hole!" said the female, she seemed to be seething at this point. It would seem this boy is a foul taste to stomach being around too long. She glanced her green eyes over to Saseme and gave a smug leer,"Though I suppose in some cases it could be fitting~"
Matching the girl glare-for-glare Saseme stood to rise but before another word could be spouted between them the sliding door slammed open and in walked a female jounin. It startled the three young genin in place and each immediately found a seat, the boy remaining close to Saseme, for whatever reason.
"Sorry I'm late." the woman huffed as she chewed on a dumpling from a stick she held,"I seem to have gotten lost on the path of life."
"Yeah, right, you mean you got lost on your way to lunch?" the boy huffed with a pout.
"Careful, hunny~ I hear those go right to your hips." said the other female who was soon met with an icy glare from the woman in front of her,"Oh by the way," the girl continued,"I believe this little kid got lost."
Saseme shot a glare at the girl who met her back with a cheeky smirk.
The jounin woman blinked with an unphased expression and pulled her clip board up to read off of.
"Let's see...Squad 15 is it?" the jounin asked out loud as she flipped through the pages on her clip board," Consisting of, Kimouri, Hana. Amesawa, Sage. And Uchiha, Saseme?" she blinked and glanced at Saseme,"Are you Uchiha Saseme?"
"I am." Saseme answered curtly while shooting a 'how do you like that' glance up at the girl who seemed to be called Hana.
"I see." said the Jounin with a smack of her lips while she chewed on the stick that once held her lunch ,"Then indeed she is in the right place." she smiled, "Welcome back, Saseme, I would love to hear how your trained in The Sand Village went sometime."
"Thank you."
Hana twitched and let out a low growl of defeat which was following by the cheeky snickering of the boy called Sage.
"You know...it's such a fine day outside." said the jounin as she finished her last dumpling,"We will continue the lesson on the roof I think. Follow me."
"The lesson?" Sage blinked and leaned in close to Saseme and whisper to her,"Did this bitch actually teach anything?"
Saseme blinked, un amused by his language but feeling no harm from him she simply shrugged and took lead in following the teacher.
"Sheesh...you're not much for talkin' are ya?" he sighed and followed her, "You know I hear your brother from another class is quite the same way." he stated, "Huh guess twins really are simi-"
"Do not compare us." the girl said quite firmly, "We are not nearly the same!"
He gulped and swallowed his words immediatly as he caught the bone chlling stare from the Uchiha...
"Right...don't talk about the brother...got it..."
"Ah, hey, wait!" Hana called out running to follow the group.
The wind blew nicely through Saseme's choppy dark hair as she stared off toward the great stone faces of the leaf village. Sage, watching her from behind, was trying to figure her out. Hana however- showed no interest, and turned up her nose.
"This is much better." said the woman as she ran her fingers through her own wind blown hair. it seemed to be the color of roses and let off a scent of flowers."How about we start by introducing ourselves?"
"Introducing ourselves?" the three genin blinked and exchanged glances with eachother.
"Yes, you know..." the sensei sighed,"What's you're name? Things you like? Things you hate? Dreams for the future? things like that?"
"But...don't you already know our names?" Hana huffed and crossed her arms.
"Knowing your name does not tell me who you are." said the Jounin,"So tell me, who are you?"
"You first." Sage muttered only to be met by a chilling glare,"Er I mean...you know...to show us how it's done?"
This guy...is an idiot.
Saseme thought to herself.
"Fine..." the woman huffed," My name is Kokoua Amane, But you may call me, Koko Sensei. I am a Jounin of the Hidden Leaf." she stated," Things I like...sweets, I suppose. Things I hate...brats." she glared at each one of them sending visible chills through their bodies,"Dreams...for the future?" she blinked,"I never thought about it. Next."
"So basically an annoying older sister type." Sage grumbled.
"I'll go next~" said Hana standing in front,"My name is Hana Kimouri!" she stated,"I enjoy flowers and all things beautiful~" she gave a smug grin as she flipped her hair. Apparently, she considered herself to be in the category of 'all things beautiful.'
"Things I hate..." She huffed and crossed her arms glaring down at Saseme who paid her no mind,"...Annoying know it alls who think they're so smart and so cool and know everything!"
Saseme shifted her glance to aknowledge the girl's complaints.
"I suppose hyppocryte does not fall under the category of things you hate otherwise you would have to look twice in the mirror." said Saseme, which only seemed to send Hana seething.
"Aw, shit!" Sage laughed,"Damn put some ice on that burn flower girl~!" he scoffed.
"That's enough now!" Kokoua snapped,"Young man...you're up."
"Oh, right." Sage beamed and leaned back, quickly crossing one leg over the other as his beige pants fluttered loosely while the wond blew leaves onto his lavender colored top,"The name is Sage Amesawa." he said with a proud grin,"I like a bad bitch who takes no shit from anyone!" he smirked sending glances in Saseme's direction, which she quite curtly avoided,"Gotta respect that sorta thing ya know?" he laughed,"Hmm...things I hate, huh?" he blinked,"...an annoying bitch."
"Are you referring to ME!?" Hana huffed.
"Hey, I said no names~!" he chuckled waving his hands gently,"I'm all peace and love over here babe."
"Hmph." she grumped and darted her head away.
"My dream for the future..." Sage blinked and his expression changed softly,"Well...I want to open people's eyes..."he said softly,"To the true beauty of the colors of the world...and people... that surround us."
Hana's stance softened. Her green eyes got wide as she returned her glance to Sage.
"To the beauty of the world." she said softly,"To make a beautiful world to be in...me too."
"Well would ya look at that?" Sage grinned as he returned his glance,"It would seem we have something in common after all~" he chuckled.
"Ah...yeah..." She smiled sweetly feeling her cheeks get a little pink.
"...Now if only you'd pull your head out of your own ass~ we might be able to get along as friends~!" he grinned cheekily, to which Hana reponded with an enraged roar.
"Okay bad bitch, you're up~" he reached his hand to flip Saseme's bangs, though she held off his grip before he could even touch her, shooting a glare right back at him.
"Uhm...ow! Okay! no touchy~ I got it!"
As she released his hand he shook it and blew on it, it was red, oddly, it seemed to be burned where she touched which gave him a rise in curiosity.
"My name..." she began,"Is Saseme Uchiha." she stated as she carefully folded her hands together,"Uchiha...so my name is given, and so, I am." she sighed."...I don't particularly like anything...she stated,"However, I also do not necassarily hate anything either..." she closed her eyes to ponder more as she spoke,"My plan for the future is no pipe dream, for I will make it a reality!" she stated,"...I seek truth, and reason." she stated,"There is one person out there who has it...and I will see to it that this certain someone gives it to me...and then...one day... I will unite my clan, our glory, will be restored."
A heavy silence fell on everyone as she finished making her claim. The wind blowing around them causing their hair to dance with the falling leaves.
"Saseme is so...creepy." Hana muttered softly to Sage who seemed awe stricken by this mysterious and distant Uchiha.
"She...is such...a...bad bitch~!" he grinned," Damn I sure hope we can be friends!"
"I see. Well I suppose this wraps up today's lesson."
"Lesson?" all three of them blinked and exchanged glances to eachother.
"...Did Koko Sensei even actually...teach anything?" he shifted his glance between the two team mates to which both of them shook their heads.
"We will meet up again tomorrow." said Kokoua as she packed away her clipboard,"I strongly advise you don't eat anything...otherwise...you might throw up."
The three genin stood frozen as they watched the woman stand.
Is she for real!?
This expression was clear on all their faces.
"Well..." She turned back with a smirk,"See you then..."
And with that, she was gone in a twister of rose petals, leaves and wind.
