It was before mid-day around the Village of Earth. The bright orange sun was nearly in the center of the sky, and people were doing there everyday tasks as usual. The Village was calm, with no worry in the world. A new Kage had been elected for the Village and alliences were needed to be put in order. There was a young boy from the Kouba Clan, standing at the gates of the village alone looking as though he was waiting for someone to come to him.

Chikurin stood at the Gates of the Hidden Earth Village waiting for the other members that were to join him for the Treaty with Waterfall Village. He was so eager earlier on this morning, that he was going to perform a mission today. He had never been on a mission before, and was dreaming all last night, as he slept, what the mission would be like and if they were going to get in battle with other Ninja. He leaned up against the wall which surrounded the village, looking in a bored mood. He may of looked bored on the outside, but deep within his body he was jumping around and couldn't wait to go on the mission. He didn't pack much with him, he had about a bottle of water in his pockets and some food leftovers which were from his home. He continued to wait at the gates until another Nin who was going to attend the mission would turn up.

[reika]

(OOC Sorry about the wait. Stuck on a bus for over a day *death* IC)

Reika had awoken a bit earlier than she normally would have. Normal being that the girl would usually sleep until one of her siblings literally threw her out of bed. At that time of day, only her mother had been awake. Surprised to actually see her daughter up and about before noon, she happily cooked her a large breakfast. Much to her dismay, this wasn't displaying the breaking of a bad habit.

The kunoichi proudly announced she had a big mission today, and would need all the energy she could get. Though it was said this was supposed to be a peaceful negotiation, the girl wouldn't go anywhere without her pouch of accessories. She just really hoped she wouldn't have to use them.

Heading eagerly towards the gate, she suddenly recalled she was supposed to meet someone. Hopefully it was that boy there... if not, then she supposed she would be introducing herself to someone random. Not that she disliked meeting new people. Her almost-run slowed to a walk a she approached the shinobi. He was taller than her by a decent amount, but then again, who wasn't? Kind of funny looking too... But she'd try not to judge him.

"Umm...," amethyst eyes peered up curiously, "part of the Waterfall mission?" she managed to pull a small smile. "I'm Reika. Looks like you and me are partners."

[kael]

Kael silently cursed himself. He had stayed up all night studying his medical handbook before finally passing out. Because of this he had awoken far later then he had originally planned.

He dressed quickly in his prefered clothing and ruffled through his shack until he finally managed to find his weapons pouch. He strapped it across his back and then placed his sheathes above them and gently slid his parents swords into them. Finally he grabbed a sack filled with food, water and other helpful items for travel.

Once he finally was ready he left his home and practically ran towards the gates where he suppose to meet the others. His massive size made it so others moved out of his way. He apologized to them as he made his way forward.

Once he managed to reach the gate he saw what appeared to be the other members of the mission. One was a shorter girl with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a vest and shorts and seemed to be very energetic. The other was a mysterios looking boy who's body seemed covered by a strange plant growth surrounding his body.

As Kael approached them he slowed down and cautiously moved forward. Being 6'5 and weighing close to 300 lbs ment he had to be cautious around others. As he slowed to a stop he stood in front of them and muttered a "hello" and stared at the ground. Surely they would be angry at him for being late. He was always disappointing those around him.

A shine comes out from the Sun's rays as someone is walking towards the Genin. It is the person's headband that gave a shine, but then the black sunglasses shine as well. Most can't tell what rank he has. But nonetheless not even he knows sometimes, his memory comes and goes without notice. He struggles to remember the mundane things, those little things. Finally remember what his name for the genin he must take for the treaty. There isn't many shinobi in this village, but it is still an honor to be seeking a treaty with another village, whose forces aren't too big either. Their forces are about the same as this village it seems. They don't do much for missions, very little, same here. Quite odd on how similar Stone and Waterfall really are. It is good that should both became great allies.

Before coming out here to the genin, he reaserched on them of course. He looks at the three that have accepted the mission. He looks to the first shinobi Genin, his name is Kouba Chikurin. With his plant growth on him, signature to his clan. The kouba clan, he knows some techniques from his clan mostly. Been the quite sort of kid mostly since he has been a shinobi graduating from the academy. He should be a good kid probably concentrate more on the mission than himself. He finds the second, a female Yamazoi Reika, she has concentrated on medical training. She knows some jutsu of that area, also just like most of them in that department, her taijutsu. He finds the last one, named Kael. A large kid for his age. Same as Reika, he is concentrating on medical jutsu. This is going to be interesting two medics in this team of three.

Rapidly appearing in front of all three with his back turned to them. Now they can see what his appearance is. His hair sems somewhat spikey as it goes out forward and down out from behind the ears and goes out towards his face as well, the color of it is red. A red cloth can be seen covering his eyes. He wears a standarad vest but with interesting colors, it is mostly black but at the ends it red on the edges. A nice dog symbol is on the back which is facing them. He wears the black standard cargo pants to go up to his shins and end there. Wearing black gloves and black tough boots. He turns his head to the right acknowledging that they are there. "Chikurin, Reika, Kael, let's move" He dissappears only to reappear much more further down the road and into the terrain quite easily. He expects them to catch up and as tehy travel he will tell him about himself to them.

[reika]

There were more? Well, she hadn't expected to be going alone to begin with, but she hadn't been told the exact number. That or she just hadn't been paying attention. Blinking, Reika looked over her shoulder, only to find she had to tilt her head back to look this person in the face. He was certainly tall wasn't he? Currently, she wasn't sure if she should bark at him for being late, or be nervous about him stepping on her. "Hi," she had planned on continuing on with the introduction, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw something suddenly appear. Her head instantly returned to where it had been, curiously to see what, or rather who, it was.

She didn't recognize this person. The higher ranking shinobi around here she had at least caught glimpses of, but... the girl was pretty sure she'd remember the cloth around his eyes. Obviously surprised that he knew her name, and the names of the others apparently, she'd planned on getting his, but before she had even opened her mouth, he was at a completely different location.

Blinking, she shut her mouth that had opened partially. This man was obviously a higher rank than she was, and so she decided it would be best not to ask questions. She'd make some kind of nickname for him for now, and if he didn't like it, he could give them his name. She looked back and forth between the two, though she still wasn't sure which was Chikurin and which was Kael. Names seemed to have been said in order of appearance though (how he knew that, she had no idea), so she'd assume who was who until she got a confirmation.

Not wanting to get too far behind, Reika hurried after the man.

[kouba]

Chikurin had watched the other two Genin of the mission finally turn up after he waited. To the question the girl had asked him, he just plainly nodded back at her not bothering to speak a word. He didn't really like talking to other shinobi and just rathered to keep to himself. The girl was probably a Ninja with a Hidden Talent of some sort. As he nodded to her, another appeared behind her which Chikurin was slowly studying. He was far bigger than he was and looked older than him also. Chikurin would keep an eye on this one, to see if he was a good Ninja or just some plain Nin who grows alot.

He noticed the Jounin then appear to be walking behind both of the other Genin of the group. Chikurin had seen this one before, but had never known his name. He looked as though he was quite strong and knew alot about them all because he already knew each of their names before they had actually introduced themselves. He then realised, that Reika was the girls name because it was the only girls name that the Jounin had shouted out and that Kael was the tall persons name. He then realised that the Jounin had dissapeared from infront of him and reappeared further down the road outside the Earth Village. Chikurin needed to catch up, and fast. Since he wasn't that fast above the earth, he though it was a good idea to travel in the earth.

And with that, he started to close the flytrap over his body and connected himself into the ground. Ever so slowly he decended into the earth, moulding deep into the crust. Soon he was now fully in the earth and was free to travel around in it. He made his way towards the Jounin who had already taken off without the 3 Genin. He remained under the ground, but still was following the Jounin. He didn't really want to say anything either, until he was asked a question or to do something of that sort.

But Chikurin then realised that he did not want to perform a mission with these 'people'. They didn't seem to be like him and he felt that he didn't fit in well here. He was already in the Earth and they wouldn't realise if he just slipped away to another place away from here. Now he would go back to the Village and walk around and maybe train once again. He seemed to be bored with the type of mission they had recieved and his goal in life wasn't to make alliences, it was to destroy Grass Ninja.. So now he moved away from the group he was meant to be, he moved through the earth and back to the Village itself, and to continue with his training.

[kael]

Kael still kept his gaze aimed nervously at the ground. He could feel their eyes on him and it made him ill at ease. Ironic that a man of his size with the impressive strength he had begun to develop would be ill at ease around a much shorter girl and much weaker looking male. But such ironies is what made life interesting.

The young woman looked up him and said hi. Before their conversation could continue another shinobi appeared before them. Given his appereance and the way he carried himself marked him as a higher ranking ninja not to mention the very feel of power that seemed to resonate from him. Obvioulsy he was to lead this mission.

Without saying a word the mystery shinobi disappeared and reappeared already down the road. He watched as first the girl took off down the road. As Kael waited to observe the final member of the group he witnessed the strange genin sink into the ground and seemingly disapper. It wasn't suprising given that some ninja could travel through the earth like that, he had just never heard of one doing so at leisure.

With a determined pace Kael used his long strides to head down the road and catch up with his companions.

[reika]

Short legs certainly had their downfall, but Reika had learned to live with them. Running was good for you anyway, so she wouldn't complain about a little workout. She was sure it was nothing compared to the things she could be doing instead. Walking dogs was a good example. Or in her case... being walked by dogs. She never quite understood why they gave the smallest gennin the largest canine.

The girl glanced over her shoulder. One teammate had caught up almost instantly, which didn't surprise her a lot. With how tall he was, she'd have been confused if he didn't catch up. Thin brows knit together though when she realized one was missing. She blinked, and amethyst hues shifed down. 'Below maybe...?' That was the only thing she could think of, unless the other shinobi had the ability to fly.

Eyes lifted, and settled upon the Jounin. He still hadn't said anything, but Reika was still too nervous to ask. Her attitude would probably make the question sound rude somehow. Still... she hated him knowing their names, but they not knowing his. Clearing her throat, she chose her words carefully, trying her hardest to be polite. "So..." She still had no nickname for him, and so the kunoichi thought fast. He was tall... dog on his vest... red bandana, red hair... lots of red. That would work. "Akai-san... do you... have an actual name?" She grinned widely, hoping to come off as friendly, but mostly just looking stupid.
