## Nakara: The New Sensei for Team 3

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ ) "I'll take care of them. It won't be a problem." Nakara spoke to the Jonin across from her desk. Her voice spoke in authority, and as if she had enough of argueing on the subject. The two had been going over the situation for a little over an hour now. And she could tell that the two were spent with their words. Discussions and comments had long passed over, and at the end, they knew what was necessary. The death of Tsuneo Senju had taken a toll on the village of Konoha. As both an asset to their village, and as a father. It was time to face the facts and bring her emotions out of it. Tsuneo, Koshiko's father, was deceased. He was never coming back. No matter what, Nakara had to admit it to herself. Even though she didn't want to admit that he would never be back. She had to, for her own sake of moving on. Although Tsuneo had been gone before his death, Nakara still wept tears of sorrow for him. The one she had loved. The one she had mothered a child with. That bond could never be broken by anyone. Even now, days later, Nakara was still brought to tears every time she thought of him. Whenever someone spoke his name. Whenever something reminded her of him. The pain took a crippling hold on her. Almost bringing her to her knees every time. How could he have been gone just like that? She still didn't understand why he had done this. Why he had volunteered to go out like that. Didn't she matter to him? Did Tsuneo even think about their unborn daughter? So many questions were buzzing through Nakara's head. So many...and she couldn't stop them from whizzing around. Driving her to the brink of madness. Because in reality, she would never know. She would never get the chance to speak to him to find out. His last moments would be a mystery to her. And Nakara mourned for everything single sorrowful thought that popped into her buzzing mind. Yet, she still had a responsibility to uphold. Now that the final words were spoken, she had just named herself the leader of Squad 3. There was no backing out. These three girls were her responsibility now. And she was to train them to their full extent as a ninja. "And train them I will." Nakara stood up from her desk, a sudden flash of movement. The rolling chair hit against the back of the wall, banging loudly against the wooden wall. She was already wearing her new outfit as a mother. The long purple dress skirting over her body elegantly. The purple armwarmers complete for the chilling Autumn weather. Dual katana were attached at her side, as well as kunai pouch and various medical pouches with her usual stuffings. "Now if you will excuse me..." Nakara spoke to the Yamanaka Jonin in her presence. "I must be going to train my new team. Please inform them to meet me at the training grounds." Nakara left the room like a flash, moving out of the Hokage mansion at top speed. One foot after another, dodging through citizens and ninja alike at a brisk pace. She hoped the young women wouldn't be too sore at her for dodging out on them after becoming pregnant with Tsuneo's child. But she would be there for them now. These girls would become his legacy. As well as the girl still growing within Nakara's womb.  φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

KaneTsumi:👊-Kane woke up an hour before the break of dawn with a silent yawn as his feet settled on the wooden floorboards of his home. He never could sleep for a long period of time and he always woke up early for self-training. Kane has pale white skin like his father and medium length white hair that was combed towards the right. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower and cleanse himself then brush his teeth as he began to get ready to go outside. He changed into a black sleeveless top with black shinobi pants and white shinobi sandals. He wrapped the Konohagakure headband around his head as he stared into the mirror that was inside his bathroom. He looked at his reflection as he began to remember the image of his father in the picture that was taken before he died. He could looked exactly identical to his father with a slight mixture of his mother features that made him angry at looking into the mirror. Weakling he thought. His father died leaving his son to survive in this world alone. In the blink of an eye the mirror was shattered to pieces with Kane's knuckles bleeding from some of the glass slicing into his skin. He pulled the glass out of his knuckles and tossed it into the trash as he ignored the bleeding and slight numbing of it his hand, it would stop eventually he thought to himself. The white mask lay on the counter as his hand reached to placed on his face covering part his nose and mouth. The only thing left showing was the piercing blue eyes that was a trait of his father, if only he could get rid of these eyes he thought...But that was for another time. He placed the Konoha necklace around his neck that was given to him by his grandfather for good luck. He strapped on the black pouch that carried his weapons strapped onto his right leg. He walked out of the bathroom silently to not disturb his grandparents and out the backdoor onto the back porch that has 2 wooden walking chairs to the left and right of him. He stepped off the porch and into the freshly cut grass of his backyard. His backyard was 50 yards wide stretching from side to side. Standing off to the side of was the balance beam him and his grandfather made on his eighth birthday. Sometimes his grandfather would come out here to help train him, but Kane knew the man was getting to old to help him any longer so it was up to him to train himself. He started at one side of backyard and ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the other side and back again repeatedly. He was counting the laps in his head..57...156...201...until he could barely walk in a straight line. He walked over to the balance beam and started to place one foot after another but halfway he slipped and fell off the balance beam. Landing on his feet, he quickly got back up and punished himself by running more suicides back and forth on his backyard...345...402..Sweat was starting to drip from his forehead underneath his headband and into his eyes. He wiped the sweat away with the back of his hand and kept going until he reached the balance beam again and this time fell while making it 3/4ths of his way there. He punished himself again and ran back and forth through the backyard until the sun started to rise signaling the start of dawn as he was at 452...503..and stumbled back to the balance beam. He was breathing rapidly and his leg were begging for him to cave in but he continued to place one foot in front of the other with well balanced precision and made it across the balance beam. He would do this over and over again until he tripped on the balance beam again and have to repeat the running. At the break of dawn Zin Hatake, Kane's Grandfather, walked outside to feel the fresh morning air. He went to sit in the wooden rocking chair on their back porch that overlooked their backyard which was covered in freshly cut green grass and an open field. His grandfather stood at 6'4 with short gray hair and wrinkles around his eyes as a indication of his old age. He wasn't surprised to see his grandson training. Every since that night Kane found out the truth of his parents during his birth he trained himself until he couldn't physically stand or think rationally any longer. He viewed the world as a constant task of survival and if he spent his time not training that he would end like his parents who were killed because they weren't strong enough to survive in this cruel, shameful world. His grandfather had just received a letter which is why he is out here to inform his son of the news. Zin Hatake yelled out Kane's name to get his attention as Kane leaped off the balance beam and walked over to his grandfather who instructed him to sit. Kane sat down on the opposite rocking chair as his legs were relieved from the small break. His grandfather gave him a small smile as he told his son the news, “You've been assigned to team three grandson and the Hokage herself will be your sensei. Your finally moving up and I'm proud of you son. Just remember all I've taught you and make sure use that sharp mind of yours. I know how you feel about this....world, but I think this will be a good experience for you. You remind me so much of....” His grandfather shook his head as if erasing the memory and just rested a hand on his grandson shoulder, “Good luck.” His grandfather then left to go back into his bedroom as Kane went back into the house to go out the front door and start on his way towards the training grounds to meet team three.-👊

CadetHipster: Akemi had been sleeping after the bell test, She was so tired she didnt even wake up to move the pesky birds that were now in full song outside her window. It seemed to be early in the morning but Akemi didnt seem to mind since she didnt have anything to do today. She was tired and her plan of action for the day was to sleep. She felt sorry for anyone who would step near her right now. If only looks could kill.  Akemi managed to wake up around 10am and was now laying horrizontaly on her bed with a horendouz headache. She was crying in pain it was that bad. "Ahhhhhhhg!" Yelled Akemi now holding her head and moving around in her bed. While moving around in her bed she didnt notice how she was now tangled up in the bedsheets. Once everything was calm again Akemi sat up slowly and looked around now squinting at the window that showed the birds now flying away and the tree outside her house on the floor. "What the.." Spoke Akemi now looking around her room and noticing she accidently used her Zeus technique on the tree. "How did i?" Akemi sat on her bed now wondering how she got to the tree and back inside without realising she had done it. "Im not that fast.. Am i?" Questioned Akemi now holding her head and groaning. "What is happening to me" Akemi soon fell back to sleep only to have the one dream she never thought she would have, There stood in the middle of the forrest was her father and a women she had never met. "GET YOUR HANDS OF MY FATHER YOU FOUL WOMEN" Yelled Akemi now covering her mouth and widening her eyes in complete shock when she heard her fathers laugh. "Akemi dear, That's no way to speak to your mother" Akemi would walk closer to the women and would turn her around without a battle. "Mother?" Questioned Akemi now looking at the women she had never met. Her mothers hair was bright red and was shoulder length where as her eyes were a peircing blue. Her lips and cheeks were both cherry red where as her clothes assembled something of a jounin. Her whole outfit screamed out "Look at my curves" Just as Akemi's did when she was covered by her father cloak. Akemi stood there for a while just looking her up and down.
Akemi screamed as she woke up now grabbing the nearest thing to her and throwing it into the wall, it happened to be her fathers kunai and it landed smack right in the middle of a photo of her and her father a few weeks before his death. Akemi widened her eyes and ran to the photo now taking it down and removing the kunai. "Shit!" Hissed Akemi as she felt the pain in her head once again.  Akemi grabbed her head and fell to the floor along with the photo. Akemi curled up and screamed loudly at the pain. "Fuck Off". The photo's frame had now been smashed and glass was around the floor. Akemi rolled over onto her side not noticing the glass. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Screamed Akemi now looking down and realising she was thrashing around on fresh smashed glass. After a while of staying still and calming down Akemi stood up and removed the glass from her side and legs. "Fuck that hurts" Akemi hissed now cleaning the glass up and cleaning her wounds up. Akemi walked into her bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror and jumped back a little. She widended when she saw the new her. Her hair had turned white as her father where her eyes turned as blue as her mothers. Her cheeks and lips resembled her mothers and her body did to. She had a thicker frame but not to thick. The clothes she had wouldnt fit now. Akemi walked to her fathers room knowing he kept hold of her mothers clothes from her mothers younger years. Akemi found some clothes and put them on. She was now standing in front of her fathers mirror as the new Akemi Hatake. Her hair was white, Her eyes now a peircing blue, Her cheeks and lips cherry red and her hips a little thicker. Her new top was mesh at the top and normal fabric in the middle section and mesh at the bottom. It showed a mid drift but Akemi liked it. Her mothers shorts showed her legs in a good way and her curves in a good way. Her long boots thankfully fit and her pouch fit aswell. Akemi smiled at herself but grabbed her fathers mask now putting it on and covering her mouth and nose. "No-one but me shall see my expressions" Akemi grabbed her fathers cloak and put it on now walking out of her home and towards the village hoping to have some time to either see her sensei or the Hokage. This was a matter to speak to them about. Akemi walked through the village with a new sense of confidence. Many of the villagers looked at her and smiled as she finally resembled her father. Akemi chuckled and walked up to a ninja she knew would be able to tell her where the hokage or her sensei was. The look on the ninjas face didnt need a explanation. "Who died" Questioned Akemi now glaring at the ninja. "Tsueno Senju" Spoke the ninja. Akemi growled and turned her whole body, she was mad. Who was the bastard who killed her sensei. Just as she was about to walk away she heard the ninja mention that her team was meeting in the training grounds. Akemi nodded and walked away towards the training grounds. "Who killed him. Who would do it?" Thought Akemi while walking to the training grounds. Once she got there she noticed everyone there. Akemi just stood by a tree running a hand through her hair and glaring at the sky. "You better look after him Mother and Father. He was my sensei" Spoke Akemi in a quiet whisper.

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius woke up to a knock on the door and rose from her bed. The light was already coming through her window and causing her eyes to burn slightly. She stood from her bed and moved over to the door that stood a few meters away and opened it. A jounin stood at the door and a look of shock spread across his face. Lilius glared at his expression.- “What is it?” -She spoke with a salty tone. He looked around then leaned a little closer.- “Are you alright? Your eyes are all puffy and your skin’s pale as a ghost’s.” -Lilius continued staring, her attitude not changing in the slightest.- “Is that what you’ve come to tell me? Don’t bother coming back.” -She tried to shut the door but he kept it open with his hand. She leered at him and sighed before releasing her grip on the door.- “I came to tell you that Nakara is your new sensei. She’s waiting for you at the training grounds.” -She stared at the ground.- “Are...you going to reply?” -Instead of doing as he asked, Lilius simply finished shutting the door and went into the bathroom. She slowly got ready, her motivation slowing down. She looked down at her eggs on the table and her appetite hadn’t grown since awakening, so she scrapped the leftover uneaten food into the garbage and left her home. She headed there with her scarf wrapped tightly around her face and neck, not bothering to put on her glasses before leaving. If they’d be training at the grounds today, she wouldn’t be putting in effort or trying too hard. She’ll practice controlling her chakra and punch a few trees, but she didn’t really feel any excitement to be back in action. She was glad to see some clouds nearby, covering part of the sky with gloom. At least she wouldn’t have to stare at the ground all day to avoid the sun’s brightness. Tsuneo Sensei...I’m sorry they replaced you. It doesn’t feel right...She thought back on the loss of the team’s old sensei and felt her empty stomach sink lower. He was a role model while her family was far away and now she had only a friend, but even Akemi wasn’t right. Last Lilius saw her was at the bell test, and that caused her to worry enough over the poor girl. She wondered just how she’d handled the news. Lilius laughed bitterly at herself. She wasn’t one to talk. She’d locked herself away in her room and didn’t want to come out. She’d never experienced a death that happened to a close friend, so this was a new type a depression that was to be fought. She’d dealt with loneliness before, but easily forgot it once she had a few pets. She’s never had romantic relationships with anyone, so she hasn’t experienced heartbreak. This was something else, though, probably the hardest of them all. Tsuneo no longer exists...his being just blinked out. How am I supposed to protect my family when someone like him is easily just blown out like a weak candle flame. She closed her eyes and walked down the path from her house without looking up until the clouds had begun to roll over the village.-

Kaiiaki:＿φ(￣ー￣ ) After dodging a countless amount of people and buildings in the village, Nakara finally made her way to the training grounds. It had taken her only a matter of minutes to find her way there. Although in her mind, minutes were hours. Hours were days. Time had no meaning anymore when one lost someone they loved. Nakara knew that thinking about it wouldn't help anything. She had to take action if she was going to reverse this curse. She wouldn't let the same thing happen to these young women. They would die old women with lots of children if she had anything to say about it. And it was time to whip these girls into tip-top shape. Nakara skidded her feet to a stop as she finally reached the training grounds within record time of 2 minutes. Upon coming upon the nostalgic setting, Nakara noticed that no one had arrived yet. It was safe to say they didn't possess the same speed that Nakara did. So no wonder none of them had arrived there yet. She would wait for them until they arrived. And hopefully it wouldn't take them too much longer. Nakara looked around the area. Observing the trees scattering the outskirts of the open field. A small pond was located off to the west of the field. The water trickled gently inside of it. The sound trickling like a soft stream in the background. It certainly was the same place she had trained herself. And now these young girls would be training here as well. She silently wondered to herself how many ninja these training grounds have seen over the years. All the trials and tribulations. All their mistakes and accomplishments. Oh if objects could talk what would they say. Nakara thought to herself. A small chakra signature burst the young Haruno out of her thoughts and back into the present. She felt someone coming towards her, someone of genin level strength. The small feet trudged against the grass of the field. Bringing with them the eyes that Nakara felt upon her back. She turned around suddenly, whipping her body around to face the young one. "Kane Hatake I presume." Nakara gave the young man a half-smile. A smile that she wanted to be genuine, but for now it felt plastered upon her face. Like a mask one would wear to cover up their true identity. She concentrated on trying to make the smile sincere. It wasn't that she didn't like the boy, it was just Nakara was having a difficult time smiling now. Her sunshine rays had dimmed to the grey sky of the oncoming fall weather. And perhaps she would be stuck this way until the spring-time came. Nakara slowly stood up after leaning forwards a bit, being careful to stand slowly so that she wouldn't become light-headed. At this point she was only 3 months pregnant. But she still had to be careful and take it easy as much as possible. Upon standing up, she felt the last one of the three appearing into the training grounds. She watched as the two others made their way towards her slowly, Solemn expressions upon their faces. "Welcome, my students." Nakara spoke out to them. Her voice projecting in a medium volume. Just loud enough for them to hear, but not too overbearing. "I see your hair has changed Akemi. And not just that." She laughed softly, the sound reverberating out of her empty chest like a ball bouncing in an empty hall. Maybe she should just stick to the silent. She didn't want to sound odd to these girls. She wanted to be friends with them and respected. However, it was difficult for things like that to be achieved sometimes. "I have brought you here today for a specific reason. I want you to officially meet me as your sensei. Not only that but..." Nakara sat down upon a nearby log, holding her stomach with both of her hands. She took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scents of the crisp Autumn air. The air soothed her senses. Calming her before she spoke her next words.  "I know my boyfriend Tsuneo met a lot to you three. I know each of you spent a lot of time with him, and maybe even came to admire him." She smiled sadly. "He talked frequently about each of you, and how proud he was of each one of you." Nakara then took a moment to look each of the girls in the eyes. Sharing a brief amount of contact with them before continuing on with her small speech. "But damn it he meant a lot to me too!" At this point, Nakara's calm resolve was starting to break through. Her emotions were boiling up. Up the point to where they were spilling over like a boiling pot on the stove. Tears filled the Haruno's aquamarine eyes, sliding down her face and dropping off unto the ground. Creating a dark spot upon the blanket of grass in front of her. ''AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I EVER LET SUCH A THING LIKE THAT HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU!" Abruptly, Nakara funneled chakra from inside of her core. Coursing it through her chakra network all the way through her right arm, sizing it down to a few inches when it reached the carpals inside of her right wrist. When the chakra reached her metacarpals, she sized the amount of chakra down to being a fourth of an inch in width, and an inch in length. The powerful chakra pumped throughout that fist. Pouring out into a light-blue color around her fist. It had no physical form, it was basically raw chakra that she would release in a single point. This was what gave Nakara her chakra enhanced strength. As soon as Nakara said the last word, ("YOU!" ) She spun around, her long pink hair whipping around and lagging behind as the rest of her body pivoted with intense speed. Her right foot the only foot on the ground as her left foot spun about behind her in the air. Nakara drew back her right arm, tightening and bundling the chakra into a taut line. She continued to do this until as her right arm punched forward. Into the direction of the stump she had just been sitting on. Upon contact of the object, Nakara released the built up chakra in that hand. Aiming for a single dot on the wood that was her target point. The log wasn't that impressive in size or length. It was about 3 foot in height and 4 foot in width. Yet, when Nakara hit that stump with her jutsu, the log collapsed in almost instantaneous  combustion. The log splintered into millions of pieces. Coating the whole area where the females were standing. From a bystander's standpoint, they might have thought that a tree had been shredded for making paper. That is, if they hadn't seen what just happened.  φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

Guest\_Liliuschan: -When she made it to the training grounds, the woman she’d met after Lilius returned from her runaway-attempt. Lilius felt another presence not far off from where she was and assumed it was Akemi, one of the members of her team. Akemi… Lilius frowned, recalling that Akemi had handled close deaths before. Wonder how everyone handled it. She made her way the woman she remembered was called Nakara and stood with her eyes pointed at the grass. Her hands were jammed deep into her pockets, her fingers pinching the fabric. She never removed the scarf, but she didn’t really care if she was perceived as rude or not participating. She waited for someone to speak, and Nakara was the first to break the silence. Lilius only looked upwards at the woman when she heard her voice break slightly. Of course she would be distraught. She was the one who would take the loss the hardest. The mention of her sensei’s death from another’s lips caused her to feel frustration again and she immediately went back to staring at the grass next to her own feet. She heard Nakara shout then watched small particles float into the grass she was watching. From the smell that resembled burnt popcorn, she assumed Nakara took her emotions out on something made from wood. With no reason, Lilius bent down to pick up a few bits of the wood, examining it in her hand. This woman was strong, so she’d obviously do a good job of teaching the girls… but she was still no replacement. She overturned her palm, letting the substance freefall from her hand. She returned it to her pocket, looking up at Nakara. Looking at Akemi, she realized that none of them had ever tried to comfort each other before...Lilius quietly growled but decided she needed to step up and be the emotional support of the team. Her peer looked liked she wanted to murder every living and inanimate thing in this forest. Lilius slowly walked forward to Nakara who’s back was still to them and slowly rested a gentle hand on her back.- “If you don’t want his death to be in vain and you don’t want us to end the same, then we’ll be depending on you from now on. We all need to remember what Tsuneo Sensei wanted for all of us, and that was to be safe. Just as you don’t want that to happen to us, we won’t let you be claimed by the same fate.” -Lilius looked back at the other girl and slightly raised her eyebrows as if to ask Right?-Guest\_Liliuschan: -When she made it to the training grounds, the woman she’d met after LIlius returned from her runaway-attempt and Eveline were already there. Lilius felt another presence not far off from where she was and assumed it was Akemi, the other member of her team. Akemi… Lilius frowned, recalling that Akemi had handled close deaths before.

Eveline looked like she wanted to murder everything in the forest and Akemi looked just about ready to go insane, though not as obvious. Lilius slowly walked forward to Nakara who’s back was still to them and slowly rested a gentle hand on her back.- “If you don’t want his death to be in vain and you don’t want us to end the same, then we’ll be depending on you from now on.

Just as you don’t want that to happen to us, we won’t let you be claimed by the same fate.” -Lilius looked back at the other girls and slightly raised her eyebrows as if to ask *Right?*-

CadetHipster:Akemi looked at everyone in the training grounds and smirked to herself under her mask. "To think this bunch of people are the very people i need to protect makes me smile" Thought Akemi now walking closer to them and sighing. She would need the one thing Tsunseo saw in her. He saw the support of the group in Akemi and that was what she wished to be, the support that the team would need and would welcome with open arms. Akemi had been distant the previous times she had seen her group so today was the day she wouldnt be as distant as she had previously been. Akemi sat down on the floor and listened to the Hokage speak, She could hear the pain in her voice, Akemi knew what is was like to loose people close to you, She had lost her father and her mother. Akemi listened and jumped up as she saw the Nakara hit the log. Just as the wood would become little peices of splinters Akemi would jump back and make sure everyone was safe before she would walk closer to Nakara and Lilius now placing her hand on Nakara's shoulder and pulling her mask down to smile at the Hokage. "We are your support, Your brains and your protection" Akemi would pull her mask back up and walk off a little now awaiting to see what happens from now.

KaneTsumi: 👊-Kane was walking through the village as he mind began to wonder about Team Three. There were rumors circulating around the team that was once lead by the jounin Tsuneo Senju. He heard about the man being killed and the only thing he could think about was his father. Tsuneo was no different. A weakling, who couldn't survive in the Shinobi world. Although he began to question why the Hokage herself stepped down into her lover's position as Sensei and on top of that she is pregnant. Wouldn't she be putting even more stress on herself with worrying about a child on the way, being Hokage, and a sensei? He also questioned whether this team will have emotional stability after a sudden death and a pregnant sensei. The other two genin who was assigned to Team Three were a Hatake and Haruno. He didn't know to much about them since during his academy years he didn't make any friends or want any, they would only serve as a distraction. His only goal was to survive and that's what it always will be. He will do anything and everything necessary to insure his loved ones guaranteed survival no matter the cost. Once he made it to the training grounds he'd seen the others hadn't made it yet as the Hokage addressed him with a half smile. The smile was forced. He instantly recognized the fake plastered smile that he became accustomed to over the years from his grandparents but he didn't call the Hokage out on it and only expected it out of her after what she's been going through. He viewed this is another challenge for his one goal in life, and this team only provided an obstacle for him to overcome to reach that goal. The other two genin soon showed up with similar grim expressions, confirming his suspicions about this team emotional stability. He stood off to the side behind the Hokage as she was talking more to the girls than him as he watched idly until she spun around and hit the log with a force he has wasn't accustomed to. The log shattered under the force of the hit making him his eyes light up curiously before they went back to their usual stoic look. Not only would he have to deal with an emotional and moody sensei because of her pregnancy and loss, but also two genin who were close to their former sensei as well and could only imagine amongst the three ladies what they would do next.-👊

CadetHipster:-Akemi would be consoling Nakara when she sensed another chakra coming from the entrance to the training grounds, She would turn around slightly and see the white hair of the Hatake clan. Akemi instantly knew who it was. Kane Hatake.. "He's on our team?" questioned Akemi in a whisper making sure only she could hear what she said. Akemi looked up and walked over to the male and stopped just beside him. She would cross her arms over her stomach and would chuckle slightly under her mask. "Kane Hatake right? I knew you when you were in the Academy.. Might not remember me since you were silent as hell. Nice to meet you, Im  Akemi and that's Lilius your other team member but im sure she can introduce herself to you, You must know our sensei by now. Anyway, Welcome to the most unstable team you have ever seen," spoke Akemi now walking away and making sure her sensei was okay. "Damn, What if she passes out, I'm not skilled enough to use my medical ninjutsu on her" thought Akemi, now showing a worried expression on her face underneath her mask making sure it was hidden from her team members. Akemi would sit down beside the broken log now holding one of the wood shards and looking at the log itself and the damage that had been caused. "She's one hell of a strong women," spoke Akemi in a whisper now looking around at her team and smiling underneath her mask.

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ ) Everything was going in slow motion for Nakara. The wood particles floated in air, coming off of the log. Floating as if they were dust, off into the air. They spun off, circling through the area in violent circles, before finally meeting their end upon the grass floor of the field. All Nakara could do was stare off into the distance. Surprised at how she just let herself go just now. It was an oddly freeing moment. She wasn't holding back how she felt about her boyfriend's death any longer. All of it was coming out again. All the grief, the anger, the betrayal. But it was all okay. Because she wasn't pretending anymore. And she wasn't forcing herself to be strong for others any longer. All of her emotions had come out in that one violent swing to the unfortunate piece of forestry. And thanks to that, she was hitting a new feeling of acceptance. A feeling that Tsuneo really was gone, and he wasn't coming back. And now that he was gone, there was noone else to take on this team except herself. Of course, others had offered to take Team 3 for her. Nakara was supposed to be on maternity leave after all. But she couldn't leave Tsuneo's team like this. They needed her as much as she needed them. They would come together after this loss. And perhaps, they would become closer than any other team. Because they had all suffered from the loss of someone who meant a lot to them. Now was the time for them to band together. And by doing this, they would become the strongest team that the likes of Konoha had never seen before. After Nakara had taken a few deep breaths, letting herself calm, she stood up, holding her belly with her hands. She listened to her young cousin's words, letting them seep into her mind a minute before answering. "Yes...we shall be strong for each other. We will support each other. Because we understand each other's loss, we will be able to understand each other. I'm willing to bet we will be able to read each other better than any other team out there." Nakara took a moment to clear her throat, speaking now in her usual Doctor voice. "Akemi. Kane. Lilius. I want you all to stand in a line in front of me. I have something for each of you." Nakara paused long enough for the 3 genin to get in line in front of her. Then, she reached into her very back pouch, pulling out 3 lipsticks, and 4 black skin chalks. She stepped first towards Akemi, handing her a pink lipstick, and a black skin chalk. "My dear, you have been through many losses. Loss is part of a shinobi's life. It is inevitable. We must accept it, no matter how hard it is or how close we were to the person. Then we must work to become better, so that we do not suffer the same fate." Nakara leaned down, wrapping her arms around the young girl and hugging her close. She waited a few moments before then moving on to Kane standing in the middle. "Kane. If we push ourselves too hard, we're only hurting one person. We are hurting our self. Remember that." She then handed him a black skin chalk before walking to the last one of the team, Lilius. "My beloved cousin. You will come to surpass even myself. And you will bring honor to the Haruno name. Let not your heart be troubled by comforting others. We are here for you as well." Nakara then handed Lilius a black skin chalk and pink lipstick off to her. Then, she walked back to her position facing the three of them about 4 feet away. "GIRLS!" Nakara yelled out to grasp their attention. "Repeat after me and raise your lipstick!" Nakara raised her lipstick up to the heavens in example, motioning them to follow her in actions. "This is my lipstick! This is the symbol of my strength and beauty as a woman! I vow to never have to let another man save me! I will be the one saving **him**! I will be a kunoichi to fight. I will never cower and hide in my tears. When I put on this lipstick, EXPECT TO GET YOUR ASS WHOOPED!" I am a Kunoichi of Konoha!" Nakara then raised her right hand containing the lipstick towards the girls, and followed suit to uncap the lipstick. Swiping the gloss over her pouty lips before recapping the lid and putting it into her weapon pouch. She then raised her black skin chalk up towards the sky, motioning for the whole team to do the same. "Team 3! Repeat after me!" Nakara paused a moment as she accepted some nods in return. "This is my war paint! It shall go on every time I battle so that my opponent knows; I MEAN BUSINESS WHEN I FIGHT!" "I refuse to lose. I refuse to be the weaker ninja. I will protect this village with my life. I will not be the one to die! I WILL FIGHT FOR KONOHA!" Nakara then raised her arm towards her team and uncapped the black stick, following suit to put the black marks across her cheeks. After an acceptable amount, she recapped the black skin chalk, and put that into her weapon pouch as well. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

Guest\_Liliuschan: -Lilius had looked back at Akemi before noticing she was staring in the opposite direction. She followed her teammate’s gaze and watched a figure approach them from the opposite side of the training field. She watched Akemi, with a slight bounce back in her step, approach the stranger. She addressed him as being from the same clan, and Lilius recognized the striking white hair atop of their head. From their voice, she assumed that the third team member was a male. She raised an eyebrow, wondering what had happened to the other girl from before. Lilius caught rumor that she was moved to another team, but she felt kinda guilty for not missing her in the slightest. She wasn’t really an asset nor a burden to the team. Instead of introducing herself like Akemi said she would earlier, she simply nodded in his general direction.- “Lilius Haruno.” -Was all she uttered. She looked back over at Nakara as she tried to rally everyone up. Her cousin’s spirits were definitely higher than they were a few moments ago. After their new sensei had told them to form a line, she watched them talk to every team member. When Nakara stood in front of her, Lilius was surprised when she spoke of how she would rise up above her herself. She gazed down at the tube of lipstick, wondering what else people saw in her. She looked back up and did as instructed, though with less enthusiasm. After she put on the lipstick, she immediately wiped it off discreetly but kept on the chalk. Her skin was a little itchy, but she ignored it for now. She smirked slightly and actually decided to mix the black with the pink. A dark mauve was produced and she placed that mixture on her lips instead. While rubbing her lips together, she glanced back at Nakara, awaiting her next instructions.-

KaneTsumi:👊-Kane didn't doubt Akemi words about the Hokage's strength. After all she was named Hokage of the Hidden Leaf for a reason. He nodded back towards Lillus as she introduced herself as he responded, “Kane Hatake.” Kane had lined up as the Hokage instructed in a straight line with the other Genin leading him to be in the middle of the two. The mood switches being displayed by the Hokage made him wonder if she had a touch of bipolar in her, but whose to say that's not for all women. Kane watched as the Hokage reached into her black pouch to produce the lipstick and chalk. His eyebrow twitched at the items as he was starting to get a bit uncomfortable. She first started to talk to Akemi who she handed lipstick and chalk to. He listened to what she had to say to Akemi as he related towards it. The whole reason he was here was the sole purpose of not suffering the same fate as his parents. She then moved over to him and handed him the black chalk which he took a bit hesitantly and placed it at his side as she talked. He didn't believe he was pushing himself to hard, in fact, he believed he wasn't pushing himself hard enough. She then moved over to Lilius who she mentioned as surpassing herself one day. For a Hokage to say that means that shinobi shows great potential. At least he hoped so. He placed the black chalk and made a dash under his eyes to show his support for his team. He placed the rest of the chalk in his pouch for later use. At first he was tempted to rub it off but after a few minutes it became natural. As the Hokage went on in her inspirational speech Kane remained stoic as he always have. He never showed any signs of emotion around anyone and would like to keep it that way. He sat silently with his hands to his sides as he awaited for their sensei to give them a command.-👊

CadetHipster: ☀Akemi had watched Lilius and Kane speak, She would shake her head and sigh to herself. "They need to learn on communication, Althought im not the best person to say that" thought Akemi now looking up and noticing the Hokage attempting to rally up the team. Akemi walked to the line now being formed, she stood to the right of Kane with a deadpanned look on her face, She would widen her eyes as she was given two objects, Akemi knew one as lipstick and another as black chalk. Akemi took them and listened to her Sensei's words. Akemi looked down when death was mentioned, It hurt her to much to hear about her mother and father and now her old sensei. Akemi widened her eyes when Lilius was told she could surpass the Hokage. Akemi chuckled and nodded at Lilus in a congratulations kind of move. Once Akemi saw the Hokage and lilius raise their lipstick and put it on Akemi gave them both a glare and pulled down her mask to put the lipstick on immediantly wiping it off and placing her mask back on. The same thing happened for the black chalk except Akemi put it below her eyes and left it on showing some spirit for the team. Akemi would look over to her team mates and smile under her mask with a tint of blush upon her cheeks. She was finally a part of a team, they werent going to leave her alone when she needed them the most. Akemi turned away and wiped a tear from her eye now sitting down on the ground and leaning against Kane attempting to get a reaction from him while awaiting Nakara's commands.
