Team one's Outing [P, IO]

Xuro Bakuton wanted to get to know his team mates a little more better in person and not just in battle. That's how come he organised a lunch time meal at one of the famous ramen shops of Sunagakure. He had received a letter earlier that day stating he had two new team members. He sent out a letter to each of his team members to meet up with him at the restaurant at 1pm.

He himself got ready and wore his normal Brotherhood of Light cloak over his lightweight Jounin attire. He had his head slanted across his left eye as usual. He never stocked up his weapons but just brought his eskrima sticks with him just in case. He had it under his cloak for safe keeping. He then felt he needed to take his 2 new clones for a walk. He would summon forth his two clay clones and then the three would walk out of his house down the busy streets of Sunagakure. On arriving at the Ramen Restaurant, Xuro would stand by the door with his 2 clay clones and await the arrival of his team...

blaze after waking up saw a letter arrived to his house. he saw it was from xuro. he decided to do as it said after he got dressed putting on all of his cloths he walked out of the door leaving all of his stuff in his room. he then  walked down the street going to the place the letter said. he got there and he looked at all of the pepole. he would find and walk up to xuro once he got to him he said "hello". he then stood there waiting for a reply

Awaking from his mortal sleep, Gilgamesh did the usual: brushed his teeth, washed and ate before he noticed a letter resting on the floor of his apartment. He lived alone and had done so for quite a while as his parents had found his personality rather obnoxious and his need to show them how superior he was to them had driven them to the brink of insanity. Now they lived in a villa with a lake in the backyard. Lucky buggers. Using the Portals of Babylon, he had the letter drop through one and through another straight into his hand before he read what it said. A team meeting, eh? Apparently his team leader wished to eat with him and the team, how weird. Gilgamesh did not enjoy bonding activities but he could not refuse an order from his "superior". Sighing, he dressed in a simple white toga with the hem being golden. The toga only went over one shoulder and so diagonally a part of his left torso and back was exposed. It was relaxing clothing and he would assume he'd need that for a social endeavor with mongrels. Leaving his apartment, he made his way to the area mentioned with white sandals on his feet.

Noticing a rather queer looking boy, one he does not recall seeing next to Xuro, the man he was told was a Jounin he sighed a little. Was that boy his companion?  Shaking his head before progressing towards the two, he showed no signs of hospitality to either of them but instead he spoke with only the calculating tone he seemed to always carry, "A quaint place to eat. I see you have a taste for the daring, man of cloth, as I have heard tales of unidentified meat being found in the food here." As he spoke, he looked at the construction before him.

[I probably won't be able to respond after Sunday, so I hope we're not thinking of partaking in these CEs. Also I'll probably exit this early as well, if you don't mind...]

It was another day another time and for Kaori it was another test... Becoming Genin while not starting very pleasantly for the girl, now proved quite useful as she could get away from her family's sinister "duties", that she fairly disliked. She would lie about team meetings and mission and assignments and lectures and training sessions and equipment testing to get away from her family. This new gained time would be spent in her private lab she had set up under her bedroom where she would read a book written by a famous medical ninja Denkiteki from Tengakure and perform her own experiments with whatever limited resources she possessed. After one such session she got up into the apartment for a break - nobody was home. By the doors she noticed a letter, it was addressed to her. After reading it through it appeared that she was finally assigned to a team and the leader was calling a meeting. She really did not care for socializing much, but as she was up for a break why not head there and see who was on her team anyway...

Dressed in neutral colors that would blend in with the desert ambient of the Sunagakure, Kaori was flowing through the streets outside, making her way to the meeting spot, which apparently was a restaurant. While en route she decided this might actually be a good chance to practice her newest ability to sense chakra. She could easily sense the mass of chakra that was the people around her while being still, but it was impossible to maintain while moving, not until she came close to the meeting spot. Suddenly she could feel a strong chakra presence without even trying to concentrate. Before entering she would stand for a moment, peeking inside the building, finding moderate chakra inside and three sources like lighthouses obvious even without concentration. Although she did not have this ability before, she was pretty sure she had not yet met anyone with that much chakra... This might prove to be more interesting than she expected. After taking a breath she entered the scene. Inside she found the three almost identical looking people that were obviously the source of power she was sensing, as well as two more, one of which she actually knew as Gilgamesh. As she entered Gilgamesh was finishing his comment on the restaurant, which was very like him, if it can by any other way. Unlike the other two, the boy had actually dressed differently for the occasion, the clothe choice actually impressed the girl as she had not need that kind of clothes. They were in a way similar to what the elders of the village wore, but more relaxed and revealing. Slightly smiling at her companion's comment the girl would not say a thing, but lean against a wall and try to hone her chakra sensing even more so she could differentiate between these. She would also wait to see how the situation would develop and how the tower and chakra would proceed now that they had gathered. She did assume he knew who he was inviting obviously...

Xuro while waiting became very bored. While his clones on the other hand, they seemed very occupied. At first Xuro hadn't named any of his clones. But since he had already made a handful of them, names would be necessary to prevent any form confusion for Xuro or anyone else for that matter. Yesterday, he had thought of names for names based upon their skills and abilities. The one clone who Xuro had named Hone, was busy investigating into his new bloodline. He hadn't known much about it and was now trying to figure it out and see exactly what it really does. Hone had his hand sticking out and was focusing for awhile until a bone began extending out. The clone seemed overjoyed although it was just a small bone merely 5cm long and 1cm thick. It then fell off on the ground. The clone was a bit confused but then continued to focus and try to form more bones. While the other clone, which was named Jisei, was still busy learning more about Fuuijutsu. He had already learnt quite a lot and was hoping to further his knowledge in the art of seals and curse marks. He had a pen out and was busy writing up some seals upon the wall of the restaurant till a waiter caught him and then scolded him. He then skipped away to the shop opposite and tried out writing more seals till he got shouted again and then made his way back to Xuro where he would remain still doing nothing.

Just then Blaze Hyuuga arrived. The young Genin who was the first member of their team, Xuro had already got to know and even had sparred with already, made his way towards them and greeted them. The Hyuuga even though was just a mere Genin, had a lot of potential and determination and Xuro had high hopes in him. Soon to follow was the pompous Uzumaki protege, Gilgamesh who Xuro had already met and had even inducted him into the Brotherhood of Light. Soon thereafter, the third and last team member arrived. Someone who Xuro knew very little about except for her name being Kaori Vex. Xuro would then greet all three of them, "Hey All. How ya doing today?? I'm Xuro Bakuton. I am a Jounin of this village and your new Team Leader."

blaze would stand there looking around the restaurant it he then saw one person walk up yo him and xuro blaze thoght what he was wearing was quite peculiar he looked at him and said "hello" he put his hands in his pockets and stood there nonchalantly thinking what might happen he saw another person aririve he then said "hello" blaze had a blank expression on his face showing very little emotion as he said that

Gilgamesh' slender arms folded neatly over his partially exposed torso, his toga being very light on him as to not deter his movement. He still looked at the restaurant with a scowl. Is this what his life had come to? Having to eat in the peasant restaurants where homeless people was the fragrance and snakes were the cuisine? Pinching the bridge of his nose, he dared not look at the name of the restaurant further l'est he be sick purely from the stories he had heard. He'd have to be extremely careful this time around as to avoid an intense battle with his digestive system. "Let's get this shambles over with.. the third member appears to be quite lazy, where is he?" Naturally since he was looking downwards his eyesight was obscured, but he had heard the other boy say more than one 'Hello' when he had arrived so he assumed the last team member would be somewhere close.

As Kaori was there, her second team mate approached her and greeted her. Although she could not yet differentiate his chakra much, the chakra mass around him felt the weakest, probably indicating he was the weakest, maybe. The impression was only reinforced by the boy's fairly dumb look not showing any emotion or thought. Undamaged by smarts as they say, huh? Well if that was the case, then the girl would not bother with him and would return only a short nod for the greeting. Unfortunately, what their leader said did not make him much interesting in her books either and so far the most interesting person here was Gilgamesh, who it seemed had not yet taken note of her presence. After the comment of her being lazy, Kaori made a light giggle and let out a short "I'm here, Gilgamesh." With that she would offer him a handshake. If he was to accept it, she would use the brief physical contact to establish a mental connection with the boy, allowing them to communicate telepathically. If they were put in the same team, this connection might prove extremely useful. She did not trust nor acknowledge the other guy enough to trust him with this and the leader probably did not even need it. Regardless of her companion's choice to accept her greeting, she would remember his first comment about this establishment and the food here. It was fairly obvious that he would not partake in eating with them unless a something that he found to be a suitable nourishment was to be provided. And providing it quickly became Kaori's objective. Whatever would happen here in the next few minutes would probably not be worth it anyway, so she quickly leaned away and with a short "I'll be back soon..." flew out of the restaurant. If the mental connection was established, she would let Gilgamesh know where she was going as well as add "What exactly would you like? Oh and tell me if anything worthwhile is starting to happen over there..." 


In order to get something to suit his, quite delicate - she might add, taste, the girl would have to cross a couple of the sections in the village. The man was probably used to consume this exotic and fairly unusual food for the rest of the Sunagakure and finding it might not be that easy. The chakra originating from the restaurant that the girl just left was slowly fading away as the distance was increasing. This proved to be a good practice as it allowed Kaori to measure the distance in which she could detect chakra with her ability. While looking for a fruit shop, the young Vex was trying to evaluate this new ability of hers. She hoped it would become a very useful tool in the future. Now flying over the sandy buildings of the village hidden in the sand, the girl could finally see the shop she was looking for. Landing on its roof she would briefly concentrate. To her surprise she could now feel everything much more precise, not in masses, but she could differentiate people. She would linger a moment and then proceed into the shop... good thing she brought her coin purse with her.

[Temporal Exit, feel free to skip me, but...]

I'll be back:

Xuro watched just as the girl Kaori Vex made her intro, left saying she would be back soon. Xuro raised his eye brow. He had known Sunagakure ninja were weird, I mean look at himself!

After the girl left, he would look at Gilgamesh and Blaze and say with a smile, "Well why not us continue with this inside and have a meal. Don't worry everything's on me so you guys can have a fiesta. I must say this is one of the top Ramen Restaurants in the whole of Sunagakure so enjoy yourselves." He then led them into the restaurant and left his clones on the outside to continue their training and also scout around and ensure everything is safe...


He walked for a few meters when a young waitress approached him, "How may I help you sir?"
"A table for 4 Please! Thank you."

"Ofcourse sir, right this way..."
She led them to a table located on the right hand side of the restaurant to a table for 4 people. Xuro thought maybe that girl Kaori would come back or something. He would sit on one of the seats and then look at the menu (which was placed on each person's place)
"Don't be shy! Order whatever you want!"

Shaking hands with the girl that he had associated with a dove, a satisfied smile nestled on his lips. Perhaps this team wouldn't be as irritating as one might have thought previously. Hearing that they should enter, he shrugged indifferently but frowned a little at the mentioning of it being one of the top ramen restaurants in Sunagakure. Truly, his village must not be very vain.. disappointing to the say the least. Hearing a recognisable voice in his head, one which again he attributed to a girl called Dove, he replied to his by simply thinking, "Nothing too unfitting; freshly cooked pheasants would be pleasant, aided if joined by ostrich eggs. Perhaps a glass of wine to simmer down the idiocy that I am bound to encounter in this dreadful place." Now sitting down in the table that the team was designated for, he rested back into the chair and looked up at the ceiling briefly before sitting formally once more; he did not want his own skin to touch the probably unclean chair. He was already mingling with mongrels he did not have to touch them.
