Shinzo sat on a rock with his eye open but he was not in his mind at the moment. Shinzo was in deep thought about his time on the team. He could hardly believe that he was on a team with a Chunin. The guy was 15 and a kind pushover how did he get the way he is just by be being a push over. Shinzo didn't care he wanted to fight him to see what he had in store.
Shinzo sat up and waited for him to get here there sensei was going to meet them here to train them so he knew that he be able to spare with Makoto sometime soon. Shinzo snapped back and blinked as he seen a rabbit get snatched up by a hawk. Shinzo looked at around as he heard some footsteps and ran at them with Full power ready the strike them.
Shinzo arrived at the source of the noise and yelled “Storm Creeps Up on Unsuspecting Traveler” and can at the person with fist drawn back.

Makoto took a moment to enjoy the scenery after he stepped onto a rocky path that led to the meeting place. It was going to be a nice day out, he realized as he veered off slightly from his destination. As he moved away from the path, the vast mountains that stretched out before him became more clear even though their still remained shadowed. The rocky terrain raised high into the sky as if stretching out to pierce the very heavens themselves. The trees dug into their base basking in the light the rising sun offered as well as the new morning dew. Everything was bathed in a soft orange-red hue as well. Makoto pushed his hood off his head and let a peaceful tranquil settle over him as the new morning warmth cut through the cold that threatened to get past his cloaked body. It was a sight that one would have found in a painting, though the painting would pale in comparison to this sight in all of its splendor.
Makoto smiled brightly. Such a grand sight would surely foreshadow a promising day would it not? This meeting with his new team would surely be an interesting one and now the chuunin couldn’t help but become even more excited. He couldn’t wait to greet them. Hopefully, his rank wouldn’t cause much trouble either. Though he was a chuunin, his previous sensei deemed that it was his time to retire. However, he was to be relocated to a newly formed team. A new jounin sensei to teach him as well as two genin that would study with him. Different colored eyes shined with curiosity of his new team even as he replaced the dark hood to cover his bright hair. Then, with a steady step, he continued. A wind caught his cloak briefly and lifted it from his frame for a moment to reveal his dark hamaka, but it didn’t bother the teen in the slightest.
Excitement and curiosity soon led his mind to wander and he found himself speaking out loud. “Now I wonder what they’ll be like…I can’t wait for my jounin sensei to open up new paths of study. I feel like a child again. Being faced with something completely new.” He laughed softly to himself as he continued. The screech of a nearby animal drew him out of his musing and he glanced up just in time to see a rabbit being carried off by a hawk. “That poor thing…” he muttered softly before offering a silent prayer and heading on. This was near the meeting spot right? Makoto was pretty sure. However, another disturbance drew his attention away from that thought.
He stood there as the sound of quickly approaching steps rang in his ears. An animal? It couldn’t be, not many animals lumbered around here and the steps sounded off for a charging animal. Animals were quicker paced because of four legs, whatever this was surely had two legs. Then a kid around his age came charging out at him screaming some phrase. Was it a game? Makoto’s smile didn’t falter. It was a game! But how do they play? Wait! He understood it. The chuunin stalled for a moment, trying to think of something and nearly getting hit in the process. However, right as the attack was about to connect he dodged around it and stood back to back with the newcomer. “Uhm…Hawk flies in storm’s eye? Yeah!” He chirped with a smile. He hoped he got that right.

Shinzo stumbled and stood their in shock at the result of his move. Not only did he miss Makoto but he also made a comeback that was better than his.
"This guy's good" shinzo thought as he turned around to attack. "Sumo Slam Rookie" Said Shinzo as he tried to hit him with an up wards palm thrust.
Shinzo Smiled as he was ready to pull off his next attack. "Hmm this guy won't be able to stop my moves" He thought as his palm was inches away from Makoto's chin.

Makoto glanced back nervously when the other guy stopped in surprise. He didn’t cheat did he? Had he misunderstood the rules by any chance? Maybe you were supposed to counterattack the move instead? Still, Makoto didn’t really prefer attacking if he could help it. After all, he didn’t even understand what the purpose of this was. Wait maybe it was a training game. That made sense. It was fun and it was a good warm up for Makoto so far. Also, the chuunin could help but think up more goofy and funny phrases to say. This sure hadn’t been a game in the academy when he was there. Then again, he wasn’t much of one for playing with the other kids during his time there.
The other guy’s sudden movement keyed Makoto in on the game continuing and his smile returned. That meant he was playing right. The guy seemed pretty powerful, but he lacked a bit of grace and refinement that would make him dangerous and gave away too much when he moved. It was like the fighter was moving in slow motion honestly. The guy was probably trying to get a feel for Makoto’s skill though. Anyway, when the boy moved so did Makoto. The chuunin ended up shadowing the genin and made it so that he stayed behind the other boy when he turned.
The end result was the boy’s arm tearing through nothing but air while Makoto stood behind him with twinkling eyes. “Snake in eagle’s shadow,” he spoke up. That one sounded pretty good if he did say so himself. Kind of fancy like an actual technique or a martial art style. Man, Makoto was having a blast. He was beginning to hope that this was one of his teammates and not just a random genin training in seclusion. Still, how did the points go in this game? Maybe the just continued until one of them ran out of phrases or landed a hit. The latter seemed more likely. Actually, now that he thought about it the hits probably scored points. That made sense right? The only question that remain was if he had to wait for his turn or if he just attempted a counter in the place of his dodge. He’d hate to break he rules and be a joy kill for the other guy.

Shinzo's blood boilded with exicitement as he missed his attack Makoto. " Cheetah like Speed and Rhino Gores Tiger "said Shinzo as he move moved at high speeds and attemed to knee Makoto, but Shinzo Knee seem to phase right through Makoto.
Unbeknown to Makoto Shinzo hade used clone jutsu or as he call it "Alpha male Call on Pack" in a succeion on to his "Cheeta like speed" or Body Fliker and Begain to run up behinde him.
" Player Block Quarterback" Said Shinzo As he ran Makoto with his shoulder pose to hit him.If he get this though he'll might even see a little opening for an combo.

An odd little thing Makoto just noticed was that the other guy called out his phrase before his move. It made Makoto feel kind of slow on the follow up. Still, he realized that this guy must have played the game a lot to have all his phrases ready. Makoto was just letting his body move then fit a phrase that hopefully made sense to the movement. Was it cheating if Makoto realized that every phrase was occapanied by a move? Maybe that was playing a bit unfair, but it wasn't as if he could just throw off the sense that something was about to come when the other fighter said something.
Makoto didn't bother to move away from the knee, allowing it to pass through him and let the illusion fade away. He still needed to work on that move. Makoto could still it was still lacking the way he used it. He didn't hold out the technique and give the illusionary bunshin the ability to disrupt its surroundings. That made it easy for a more experienced ninja to see through it.
Makoto turned to see what must have been the real one rushing him. His only thought as the attack connected was, "What's a quaterback?" However, the genin would find that Makoto's body gave no resistance to the strike and he moved straight through him. Unlike the clone before him though, Makoto didn't merely fade away revealing the fact that he was a full illusion and not just a bunshin. Then the ground underneath Shinzo suddenly gave way and a pair of hands latched onto his ankles before pulling him under. He'd find it hard to escape as the ground had already solidified around his body and his head was the only part of him left above ground.
Makoto stepped up in front of him and crouched. A single brown eye could be seen from the shadows the hood covered his face with. "Mantis catches prey," he said with a tilt of his head. Did this mean he won? Even if the other boy could escape, he wouldn't be able to tell if this was the real Makoto since the illusion before had tricked him. False surroundings could make anything appear and it wasn't difficult for Makoto to layer a double one. "Uhm....are you one of my teammates?"

"umm..." said Shinzo his mind was telling somthing was off but he just couldn't figure it out. " yes..rrrr" he said still trying to figure why the guy was so much taller now. Shinzo looked around as he seen he was just a head. "oh no Alpha male has been decapatated" throught shinzo.
Shinzo cryed just to relize he was only under ground "oh then i guess your the winner i'm Shinzo Katetsu and u ar"said Shinzo as he tryed to shak his hand only to remeber tha he was only a head.

Makoto almost laughed at the kid's odd behavior before realizing that such an action could be seen as rather rude. So he restrained his laughter only to realize that the boy couldn't be too comfortable in his position. He nodded as Shinzo introduced himself and then Makoto moved to pull him out since the game was over.
It was as if the solid ground and rock didn't exist where Makoto touched. His hands sank into the ground without the slightest bit of difficulty and grabbed Shinzo by the shoulders before pulling him out. Makoto yanked Shinzo from the ground completely then set him back on his feet where he had once been trapped. The ground stayed stable beneath them and one would have never guessed that moments ago it had been a prison or tampered with at all for that matter.
"Nice to meet you, Katetsu-san," Makoto said as brushed off some of the lingering dirt from Shinzo's shoulders before letting him go. He then took a step back and bowed politely. "My name is Makoto Kiyoshi and I look forward to being teammates," he finished standing. The chuunin hesitated for a moment then spoke again. "If you don't mind my asking what is that game we were playing called? It was quite fun."

" Nice to meet you"said Shinzo he got up and sat down on the rock. "sorry about attacking you I have a habbit of attack those who are stronger than me" he said rubbing the back of his head.
"what was last attack you did"said Shinzo as he smile and waited to be answered. A air blew thought them as as it seemed to get cloudey around them. Shinzo looked over his teamate to see his look before he gave his next responce.

Makoto looked around, wondering if any of his other teammates were around. Seems they had yet to make an appearance though. It just left him and Katetsu-san. He turned to gaze out at the sun which had set itself over the horizon, but still remained far from its apex. Still plenty of time for the others to show. Patience was a virtue as well as being just as effective as any jutsu. It could turn the tide in battle without warning.
The chuunin took a seat on the ground and settled in a meditative position. His attention was drawn to the other young man as he spoke, but Makoto didn't move. Such an odd ninja the other young man was. Attacking those stronger then him for no reason? That would very well get him killed. Makoto was under the impression that it was a game. It wasn't his place to correct him, but maybe he should at least say something. How should he word it though? However, as he tried to come up with a way to give Shinzo helpful advice his train of thought was derailed by the question posed to him.
The wind rustled his cloak, but his hood stayed in place on his head. Last attack... "The...uh...decapitation technique," he answered hesitantly. The full name for the ninjutsu was rather long so he chose to shorten it. He let out a slow breath and set his hands serpent seal before beginning to meditate. However, his curiosity was still getting the best of him. "Do you know of our other teammate or sensei, Katetsu-san?" He asked from his meditative position.

" Ah our sensai should be here soon she said that she had something to do" said Shinzo as he throught of somthing to say. Shinzo mind was focused on his new teamate he hadn't had one before so it was strange to have on now. "so mm sorry about the attack i just had to fight you i mean i heard that you where a Chunin but not a earth user"said Shinzo as he streched and yawned.

So he knew of their sensei already? Well, that explained one absence, now what of their last teammate? Makoto dismissed the thoughts before they could flood his mind and break his meditation. He needed a clear mind, not one over run with numerous thoughts and assumptions. Too many questions and too little answers led to ideas and ideas led to more thoughts as they grew and expanded in on themselves.
Given Makoto's already curious mindset it was hard enough as it was to meditate. He had to preoccupy his mind by moving to another topic so he didn't dwell on one or by simply not thinking. A good way for him to do this was to listen to another person and try to focus on listening what they had to say. It helped Makoto not think so much and he reached his center of calm easier. Keep the fire in one spot by feeding it, but don't let it wander and get out of control.
Another deep breath filled his lungs and he let it out while paying close attention to the circulation of his chakra. "Don't worry about it. It was actually pretty fun and a decent warm up." Even as he spoke, he molded his chakra. Makoto did nothing specific, he merely tested his control. With each intake of breath Makoto attempted to gather as much chakra as he could before letting it go upon exhaling. It was nothing impressive, but it gave him a feel for what he was capable of.
"What element do you prefer?" He asked as he continued to meditate.

Shinzo watch as he sat listeniing to Makoto as he spoke. "mine is Lighting like the Raikage and i think our sensai but she jonin so i'm to sure what she can realy do"said Shinzo as he put chakra in his hand to see is he can make lighting appear. Needless to say nothing forming lighting came to his hand.
Shinzo signed because he had now lightning jutsu "it's funny i have lighting chakra but no jutsu"said Shinzo as he fround. "shinzo then loked at Makoto and Said" what is your element" and sat up with a smile.

Makoto glanced at the other boy out the corner of his eye. Just because his chakra's alightment was with the lightning nature didn't mean he had to strive so hard for techniques right away. He both expected to much from himself and belittled the skill he had already all at the same time. Makoto went silent for a while, struggling to find the right words to help the genin grow as a ninja. As a result, Makoto's concentration broke. However, he couldn't really be bothered by it as he was quite concerned with helping out Shinzo.
His hands released the seal and came to rest at his lap. "You expect far to much from yourself, Katetsu-san." Makoto spoke up gently. He was still a genin, comparing himself to a jounin and the Raikage was a bit unfair to himself. They had years of experience behind their belts. "My sensei once told me that 'Preoccupied with a leaf you won't see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree you'll miss the entire forest.'" Makoto laughed now that he thought back on it. He had failed to understand it at first and assumed the old man was just spouting out gibberish, but it held meaning. Everything his sensei had said held meaning.
"My chakra is aligned to earth as a nature, however, I didn't just start out with techniques that utilized it. Chakra is chakra and remains so until you yourself mold it into an element." He had seen the boy try to create lightning. Such a feat was only found in the Raikage's arsenal for good reason. The sheer control and time it took to create that technique took dedication. It was more than just hearing or seeing something similar. Hopefully, the genin was able to understand what he was saying even if it sounded much like gibberish to Makoto's own ears. When did he become so much like his sensei?

" ah i see what your saying so if i destroy the forest i'll beable to see the girl bathing in the river HaHA HA HA HA" laugh Shinzo who now fell off his seat."but i'll understand it later when i grow as a ninja"said Shinzo as he sat back down."so what when did you become a chunin and how"said Shinzo now ready to know this guy past.
THe Clouds seem to part at shinzo last words and the sun shined between them.Shinzo Smile as he can tell that this guy will be a good person to reach for and then his sensai followed by the the raikage. Shinzo knew he'll be able to make his perent proud of his skills.
