Naruto: Dawn of a new era.

"That is my cousin!" Riyoshi yelled back as they approached a small clearing in the forest.


Landing on the ground, Riyoshi came to a sliding halt.
 
Juro could see the other three students, and he stayed out of the clearing to wait for a moment, just to be sure.
 
Landing on the ground just behind them, Masa kept silent, mentally strangling the boy. Oh, if only he hadn't been from the academy as well, she would have done it. As her hands tightened into fists, she looked at her cousin and smiled faintly, "Yes, where are we going?"
 
"My step father showed me this place about 2 years ago to help with my 'special' training." Riyoshi replied to both questions.


Placing his hand into his back pouch, he grabbed out a scroll and held it in his hand.
 
There were three children after all. No doubt they were a one of the genin teams he had separated himself from. When he was done with his time "in the academy" he would simply lift his illusions and things would go back to the way they were supposed to be anyways. It seemed like they were going to be staying a while, so he contemplated coming out in the open; though he decided he'd like to see this "special technique" first.
 
Masa folded her arms over her chest, raising an eyebrow. Before twitching a little as the boy spoke up. "You know, your lucky we let you come with us, so shut your mouth and show some respect." Leaning back against the tree, she nodded to Riyoshi, smiling faintly.
 
"hey i was offered to follow so i came if its such a problem with you why didn't you say 'riyoshi i dont think he should come' hmmmm"


Tenn gave masa a blank stare
 
The other genin were arguing amongst themselves all of a sudden, and Juro figured that they obviously didn't work together all that well; so he ought be safe if he were to step out. And so he did, his relatively frail body coming out into the open, not saying anything, just leaving the protection of his hiding place silently.
 
Looking at Masa and Tenn argue, Riyoshi glared and spoke up.


"You both need to shut it." Riyoshi ordered as he felt a slight bit of chakra.


Looking around, he spotted another kid. Reaching down and grabbing out a kunai, Riyoshi stared at the kid.
 
"Oh you don't wanna do that, now do you?" Juro asked, using a genjutsu to get into the other boys head and make him put the knife back.


"I'm not here to do harm to any of you, after all, you were the ones that came to me," he explained, brushing the long brown hair out of his face.
 
As Riyoshi put his kunai away, he looked at the kid with friendliness. Soon after putting the blade away, Riyoshi shook his head and grunted.


"What the! Was that genjutsu? You sneaky little prick!" Riyoshi went on about in a fury for being controlled by genjutsu.


"We did not come to you. We are on our way to a spot, and we just happen to stumble on you while we were going there." Riyoshi kept on going.


Placing his hands in his pockets, he looked at the kid.


"You look familiar like i have seen you before, but i cant put my finger on it." Riyoshi said as he removed his right hand from his pocket and placed it upon his chin.


"By the way, the name is Riyoshi. Want to come along?" Riyoshi asked as he looked past the kid and towards the trees on the other side.
 
As her and boy got yelled at, Masa growled a little, but accepted it. After all, she liked having her cousin to talk to, and outside of him and Shin, no one in her family exactly liked her. Watching the scene play out with yet another stranger, actually managing to get Riyoshi to stand down, she quirked an eyebrow staring at him. We'll have the whole class on a field day if this keeps up...
 
"i wonder if i eat these cookies...there a month old but i think they'll be ok"


while the others where talking to the new kid Tenn pulled out a bag of cookies from his pocket and examined them
 
"Actually, I'm your former squadmate," Juro replied, releasing the illusion on them since it wasn't worth the effort to introduce himself over again. He just walked on by and continued in the direction they'd been headed a moment before.


"Since I'm with you now, we may as well go wherever it was you wanted to show them," he continued to Riyoshi, trying to ignore Tenn, the boy with the month-old cookies.
 
Akatani was contemplating on stopping the two from fighting but decided that would be just a waste. Soon after they finished squabbling among themselves he followed them into the forest, staying behind the group. Akatani had amazing intelligence and instinct, and very keen senses for someone his age. It wasn't long before he could feel a presence.


He also didn't quite trust this Tenn guy. There was just this feel about him. A little into the forest they started arguing again. After hearing Tenn's comment about Masami, Akatani thought it would be best if he walked beside Masami instead. Akatani noticed Masami's fist curling and couldn't help but smile.


"idiot..." he thought to himself as he smiled.


A little later, they stopped. He could still feel presence. Akatani listened to Riyoshi's explanations.


"special training?" he remembered what happened years ago and had a moment of chills. "It probably has something to do with that." he thought to himself.


They started fighting again but it didnt look like it was something serious. Akatani was known for not talking much. Only a few people know that he only does when it's necessary though Tenn almost crossed the line. A few moments later, another boy showed up making Akatani ask himself if it was a holiday or something. Something was telling him that he couldnt trust this one too.
 
Coro Tsuyoshi relaxed in the shade. It had been a while since he'd just laid back and relaxed. These last four years had been busy. He'd kept himself occupied with training, and school, and other things an average genin his age should be occupied with.


But that wasn't good enough....


A few people, his sister at the forefront, had noticed Coro wasn't performing anywhere near his supposed potential lately. Had the son of the Hidden Shadow's hero, the Demon Berserker, really turned out to be average after all?


In truth, Coro was bored. He remembered a few people he hadn't seen in a while, and knew if he could find them, he might have some fun again. They'd been exciting. Different.


Masa, and Riyoshi, Coro thought. Those two were okay. Especially Masa, he added with a grin. She's been loud, abrasive, uncaring and downright abusive to him. He almost missed that. And those few times she'd been gentle hadn't been too bad either.... And Riyoshi could be really cool, if not a little uptight. But that didn't matter, he supposed.


He'd been too lonely lately. He needed some fun, and soon.
 
"That's where I remember you from. How is it going." Riyoshi said as he smiled and put his right hand on top of his head.


Taking a running start, Riyoshi charged his chakra into his feet and leaped into the trees once again.


"Are you guys coming? From now on, this trip will be in overdrive. If you fall behind, you will have to fight your way out of this forest." Riyoshi said as he landed on the tree branch before kicking off again.


Reaching into his pouch, Riyoshi grabbed out a trident kunai and held it flat in his hand. As the kunai sat in his hand it started to move around slightly pointing away from him.


"We are almost to the meeting spot. Once we are there, we will enjoy the greatest adventure of our lives." Riyoshi called out as he continued from tree to tree.

It seems that Riyoshi was familiar with the other one. He still couldn't bring himself to lower his guard though. Hearing Riyoshi and seeing him jump to the trees, Akatani just grinned a little and charged chakra into his feet. He was quite skilled in chakra control, being naturally inclined for genjutsu. He jumped and flipped to the branch of the tree and hanged down upside down looking at the others as if waiting for them. Hearing Riyoshi talk suddenly piqued his interest again.


"Meeting place?" he thought.
 
Juro charged the chakra easily into his feet and leapt into the canopy, keeping pace relatively easily despite his natural failings.
 
Masa sighed,following after them at the back of the group. It wasn't so much as because she wanted to, but because she wasn't going to push herself to stay up to par with them. Didn't want to. Drawing in deep slow breaths, she sighed happily. She was half tempted to wander out on her own, but knew better and had the feeling Riyoshi would freak on her if she did.
