The day starts with William sitting at his desk and writing notes with his left hand as his right is in a sling. The young man calmly writes as he ponders the issues with his style of fighting. His long range is good and he is currently working on close combat fighting. His chosen style is strong. That much is obvious. However he needs practice because he hasn't quite mastered it, hence the sling holding his right arm. William is currently pondering what he did wrong. He was sure that he had the ratios of chakra enhancement for each body part correct. He had done the math and the strain put on his body was within safe limits. So why did he tear his shoulder up? William continues to write in his journal as Sam enters the room.
Sam is smiling like an idiot and seems to be incapable of keeping his hands off the headband on his forehead. He keeps touching the piece of metal emblazoned with the symbol of konoha. Sam smiles again before he spots William and his injury. The smile fades as Sam rushes over to his friend.
"Dude! The fuck happened?!" Sam exclaims.
"Training. I was working on my close combat fighting skills and appear to have miscalculated the chakra released in the opening rush. I am currently rectifying my calculations on this matter." William drones. His hand worked furiously to correct his math.
"Opening rush? Calculations? What are you doing william?" asks a teacher's aide that came in early.
"I am attempting to make a combat style revolving around sudden rushes and powerful strikes. Upon researching such a style I came across the combat style of the raikage of kumo. The style he uses is perfect for my needs. I have been reverse engineering it for a few months but I have been stuck on the opening move." William explains to the older girl.
The girl is named Tenten and she is working as a teacher's aide while her team rests from a recent mission. She has a pink shirt with chinese dragons on it and her brown hair is in twin buns on the back of her head. She has a large assortment of scrolls on her hips and a large three foot wide scroll sits on her lower back.
"Close combat? Gimme a sec." tenten replies before she jogs out of the room.
The only noise is the scratching of William's pen on paper as he fixes his math. He has found the problem. He assumed he was boosting his speed by a factor of five through using the shunshin. Research proves that using shunshin for a short distance rush actually boosts your speed by a factor of ten. William has to double the numbers in his equations for how to reinforce his body to keep it from damaging him as a result. He also needs to figure out if the style can be used at a higher level with just chakra or if he needs to put an element into it. The raikage uses lightning to increase the power of his fighting by an exponential growth rate. The faster he moves, the harder he hits and thus his damage capabilities grow based on his speed. Frightening in theory but also quite easy to beat. If you can bind him or restrict his movement in any way. You have limited his damage capabilities in a monumental way. Restriction is his weakness and there are dozens of ways to achieve this. William shakes his head and focuses back on the math. He shouldn't be pondering how to defeat a kage from a foreign nation. He has yet to make chunin. Let alone be kage level.
Tenten returns with a man wearing a vest showing his rank as jonin and he is clad in a tight green bodysuit. The man has thick eyebrows and shiny hair in a bowl cut. Somehow his hair is shiny despite being black. The man approaches William and they exchange greetings.
The man is named Might gai. He is the best close combat fighter in the world bar none. He is capable of using any fighting style in the world and if he hasn't mastered it, a shocking small number in that regard, then he is at least competent in it. He prefers using a style called strong fist since his father used it and it is his way of honoring the fallen man. Rumor has it that Gai has fought on par with the sandaime hokage, a man rumored to know thousands of jutsu, and was able to do this with just close combat techniques!
"Hello young aburame. My student tells me you are trying to recreate the fighting style of the raikage?" gai states with a very curious tone. He would have yelled but he has been scolded enough by the aburame clan head. Speak quietly to the bug clan or be swarmed by stinging insects. No other options.
"Yes. I believe I have figured out my mistake however. My calculations were wrong in the opening rush. I have fixed them and will test the new numbers after I am healed." william states.
"Really? How did you recreate his style? I can barely use any of the moves since I don't have the control necessary." gai is now very curious as shown by the pinching of his large eyebrows.
"The style uses the shunshin to build speed before you reinforce your body with chakra to reduce the damage you take while your opponent takes the full force of the hits." William explains while showing gai his notes.
"Interesting. Ah. you don't just reinforce your whole body since reinforcement to that level would just waste more chakra than most people could afford to. You figured out which parts of the body to focus on strengthening and thus achieve a greater level of power than normally available through simple mass reinforcement. Wait. I see a mistake." gai is impressed with the work this young man has put in. The problem he spots is quickly pointed out and gai jots down a few notes for the man.
"You need to reinforce your spine and back regardless of what body part you're hitting with. A good chunk of power comes from the back in regards to close up fighting. If you didn't remember to keep it strong enough. You would have snapped your spine and lost your chance to ever be a ninja." Gai explains as William nods in thanks.
Gai smiles and jots down another note. It's an address. Gai explains that he runs a dojo and would happily help William in his close combat skills. The young man thanks him for this and the older man departs to resume his training. The rest of the class slowly fills and everyone is told their teams. Each team consists of three of the graduates, genin, under the command of a jonin. The jonin will train his team in whatever they believe to be best. Some jonin are lazy and rely on the clan or solo training of their team, others will ignore what they already learned and make them into a completely different type of ninja. Yet others will train them to be the best in their own unique way, this last type of teacher is rare however.
A man is marching down the halls of the academy. He is followed by a woman with long purple hair. The man has his symbol of konoha attached to a bandana while the woman has hers on a simple headband like most people. The man is wearing a long coat that hangs to his ankles and flares out at the bottom, the woman's coat is similar but her is more form fitting. Both are wearing dark clothing under their coats, a simple shirt and pants for the man while the woman wears thin armor and her pants are coated in pockets. The man towers over most and his face is set in a constant scowl that is designed to scare you from his mere presence, the woman has a soft smile and seems ready to give a kind word. If not for the sword strapped to her hip. The man is named ibiki morino, the woman is yugao hayate. Both are anbu level ninja and both are teaching a team. They enter the room and all chatter ends as soon as they open the door.
"Team 13 with me! Now!" the man barks. The woman was silent next to him.
A towering young man covered by a heavy coat and pants. His face shadowed by the hood and covered by the high collar of his coat, all you can see of his face is the glint of the sunglasses covering his eyes. A gourd is strapped to his lower back and a satchel hangs from its strap to rest on his hip. The giant walks down and is followed by two others. His right arm is in a sling.
The one behind him is a boy that is about an inch shorter than ibiki, the giant is half a foot taller than the man, his hair is rusty orange and hangs to his shoulders. The boy has a kind smile and a glint in his bright blue eyes. He is clad in light clothing of shorts and a t- shirt. Both in camouflage that alternates dull reds, golds, and oranges. The boy smiles at ibiki and gets a grunt in return.
The last member of the group is a short young man that has long brown hair tied in a ponytail and has bloodshot eyes with no pupil. His clothing consists of robes that offer full coverage of his body/ maximum dignity in political situations, while also being non restrictive for combat. He has a calm face even though he seems to be unhappy about something from the glint in his eyes. He nods to his teacher and they all line up in front of the man.
"Alright. I'm only saying this once so don't interrupt and pay attention. My name is ibiki morino. Im the head of the torture and interrogationsection of konoha. I will be working with the woman behind me to make you lot into an interrogation/assaination squad. If you have a problem with that then fuck off and ill pick another kid to replace you. Any problems?" ibiki snaps.
Nobody talks. The man nods and steps back for his partner to speak. She smiles softly at the three teens.
"I am Yugao hayate. I am a specialist in assaination and sword fighting. I hope I can turn each of you into a remarkable ninja." she says with a kind tone in her soft voice.
The three in front of them and told to introduce themselves and squad thirteen is then made official.
Squad thirteen is under the direction of joint leaders: jonin ibiki morino and jonin yugao hayate. They lead a three man squad in interrogation/assassantion missions. Their squad consists of: william aburame, sam, and jake hyuuga.
Let's see how well they do.
