Two Kids, One Jounin and A Toad

Hobaninho: -Hayate bit the side of his lip as he casually positioned his pen to a piece of paper in a scrap notebook covered in a bright shade of orange. He was proped up inside a tree with one foot hanging loosely off the branch that he had laid himself out in. His back pressed up against the trunk. He was clad in the universally known jounin garb as well as his blue forehead protector tightly wrapped around his head. He was rarely seen without that headband. It was a sunny day however the sun had been barricaded out from Hayate’s sight; only occasionaly cracking through the spaces between the leaves to reflect off of a small silver chain wrapped around Hayate’s neck. The icon of the necklace hidden underneath his flak jacket. It was a solem atmosphere in the forest the only action that happened in these parts tended to be wildlife acting erratic. After a few strokes of the pen he released its hold on the paper as he ran a thorough hand through his brown locks, shaking them side to side in slight frustration.Although rather flustered, he seemed to be very much at peace with his surroundings. He took a deep breath and put the ink back to the sheet of paper and seemed to be going in a different direction on the page than before. Rare glances to the right and then back to his paper may have pointed out the actual subject of whatever he was drawing.-

DivineZiel: -Raiden was having a hard day so far with his father already beating him twice in the last hour, Raiden left home in a quick succession. Racing into the forest without any thought in his mind, he wanted to get away from his father, forever however, he couldn't exactly do that because he loved his mother, big brother and little sister too much to do that to them. Slightly sighing as he slowed his speed down, tears were running down his face as he looked down while he stayed at a steady running pace and then ran into a tree. Falling backwards, he rubbed his forehead while he continued to let out soft weeps. Looking down to his legs, he sighed as his tears came to a stop, slowly. He had red marks covering his face, neck and arms as well as possibly some under his shirt. Raiden said to himself "I just want to get away from him..." He rubbed his eyes softly with the tops of his hands. Looking around through his watery eyes, he hoped nobody was around but he couldn't help it if there was. Pushing himself up from the ground, he slowly walked deeper into the forest. Sighing slowly, he looked down to the ground but still up a bit with a few tears falling onto the earth, he thought to himself "I don't even have any friends....nobody to truly talk to..." He continued on as he looked around, slowly lightening up to his mood to start having it become more neutral.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki smiled as she traveled through the village; her long blonde hair flowed in the wind as she traveled from her early morning routine of conditioning and reading up on everything from clan to villages and chakra pathway journals. Her skin glowed in the sun as sweat was over her body and it was hot so she had removed her blue gi and only wore her black bodysuit which was accompanied by her bandaged shins and forearms and her Uchiha headband. She skipped along the streets and passed the gate only to be stopped by a guard whom smiled, "Hello, Ms. Uchiha how goes it?" He asked. Suki smiled as he walked her towards the woods like he did everyday for some odd reason, "I am fine just did some physical and mental training." She said with a grin as he stopped at the edge of the begining of the forested area and he looked at her with concern, "You know you don't have to live here.. I have space- Suki shook her head and smiled, "No Mr. Yuka, You have a whole family I am going to be fine outhere I promise and thanks for the food and checking up on me." She said as she jumped into the woods and felt him waving at him and lingering until he couldn't see her anymore. Suki's smiled faided as tears began to fall; how she wished she could leave with him and have a family but she knew it wouldn'tbe the same. She walked through the shaded forest, occasionaly being lit up by the sun. As she neared the heart of the forest, she heard sounds which made her draw a kunai. She had been hurassed by animals outhere alot and she wondered if it had gotten to her food. Going off her survival instinct, she hopped into the trees like a predator and loomed over what now seemed to be a boy. She hopped out of the tree and holstered the kunai as she noticed him crying. She blinked and slowly walked to him and spoke softly, "Hey...what's the matter?" ~She had seen him around school alot and he had always been smiling which really threw her off.~

Hobaninho: “Huh?” –Hayate muttered as his ears perked up, hearing the sounds of sobbing coming fom a distance not too far from where he was. His eyes escaped from the beautiful landscape infront of him as his head sort of leaned over his right shoulder as he attempted to locate the source of the tearful noises. Seeing an empty background he wasn’t alterted until he felt a heavy thud rumble through the tree he was perched up in. Looking down just beneath him, he saw a young boy no older than eleven or twelve laid back on the ground and ferociously rubbing his head, the spot that most likely took the impact. He watched with mostly expressionless face, although there seemed to be some sincerity there once the boy began berating and putting himself down. Without hesitation, Hayate reached into a pouch on his back and quickly retrieved three cards. He flipped through them until one card perfectly matched the appearance of the boy just down below him now. He slowly eeked in one of his bent knuckles in between his teeth and bit down on it as he examined the card and glanced down at the boy as if he were double checking to make sure it was correct. Suddenly another rumble vibrated through the tree yet this one appeared to be much closer to Hayate’s height. Unshaken, he turned to his right just quick enough to see a blurred figure with blonde hair leap down next to the boy. After looking down and getting a clear picture of the girl he slowly looked back to his cards and gradually slid another card out from behind the boy’s. He shook his head in disbelief.- ‘Well I was going to meet up with the Uchiha and see what she was really like…but now I got two of them’ –Hayate thought to himself as he put the cards back into his pouch and leaned over to the side to watch what would play out.-

DivineZiel: -Raiden heard the girl's voice as he turned to her and wiped up his tears. With his eyes still watery some, he would say in a raspy, sad voice but trying to change it so he wans't seen like this. The sunlight beating through little cracks of leaves, the red marks covering his face, arms and neck "It's...it's nothing." Sniffling a bit, he turned away as he noticed the girl from school. Wondering what she was doing out here, he looked down as he said outloud "Well...it's not nothing actually..." Pausing for a moment, he questioned if he should tell her but then he just decided to do so, he continued to speak "My father...these marks are from my father and I just wish he'd leave and never come back. The rest of my family is amazing but him...for some reason...it's as if he doesn't like me." Sighing a bit, he looked back to her as some more tears trickled down his cheeks and asks "Aren't you Suki Uchiha?" He attempted to calm himself as he then waited for a response from her.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki sat on her knees in front of him as she pushed her long blonde hair from her blue eyes and listened to his story and looked at his bruses and his tear streaked face. She wasn't fooled by his act of bravery he was hurting and she knew it but she kept it to herself as she listened and then he asked her name in which she nodded as she began to rub her hands together, "Yes, I am Suki Uchiha... and you are.... Raiden." She giggled as she placed her right hand on his eye which looked pretty bad and painful and she managed to squeeze a small amount of chakra into his eye which relieved a little pain as she continued, "I hear you name often in the halls and in the streets. I'm sorry about your Dad..he has no right to do that its wrong." She said softly as she stood up and extended her hand to him with her dazzling signature smile that showed her pearly white teeth.~

Hobaninho: -Hayate continued to watch the developing scene beneath him as his level of sincerity seemed to increase from his formerly glazed facial expression. The two seemed very different and yet alike at the same time. Hayate looked over to Suki in particular as she reminded him of his younger sister Aiko who actually happened to be in the same graduating class no less. They seemed very similar, aside from Suki’s gleaming blonde hair. When he looked to the boy specifically, he vaguely reminded him of one of his closest friends, Fudo. They were both down on their luck when it came to family. Suddenly, Hayate’s brows raised as a slim smirk came across his face. Retrieving his sketch book from his lap and placing it into a free pouch on his side, he gradually stood up on the tree branch only to smoothly turn left and ducked off of the branch. Grabbing onto a skimpier branch that fortunately was blocked by the bulk of the tree, Hayate’s feet hit the trunk and quietly slid down onto the grassy green earth beneath him. His speed was superb and his espionauge skills had heightened over the years making his movements unnoticeable to mere academy students. He leaned into a kneel, propping his right leg up and the other rested against the ground. Bringing his hands slowly together he would form Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram in an instant. Once the signs were complete he’d throw down both of his hands and hit them against the grass which sparked several black spattered lines that eventually would form into somewhat of a cricle. Following the seal, a dust cloud formed infront of Hayate and once dissapated a rather large toad standing at about 13 feet with a light green hue for skin matched with a dark blue robe and a straw kasa hat.- “You raaang, Masta Hay?” –The toad chimed in with a sort of jazzy funk to his words. Hayate quickly placed a finger over his lips as he leaned forward and whispered something into the toad’s ear. It was obvious the toad was about the roar with laughter but only copied Hayate with the finger of his uniquely shaped lips. Regardless of the large size of the toad and the cloud of smoke, the tree was thick enough to cover it all. As the two kids wrestled with their feelings, the incredibly large toad compared to them comicly slid behind them without making a sound as well as a blank face. He did however, rest both hands on a huge wooden staff. The sheer size of the toad would be enough to send those two over the edge.-

DivineZiel: -He nodded to her as he sighed once more before pushing himself up and looking to her hand. Sucking up any emotion he had, he extended his hand out to grasp her hand and shakes it lightly. Saying only in a soft voice, he said "It's not right however, there's nothing that I can really do, ya know?" He let go of her hand as he saw a shadow creep up from behind him however, it wasn't fully noticable but the light that did hit him went away. Turning to look over his left shoulder, his eyes slowly got wide as he hopped around to face it and pointed to it as he looked to Suki and the this giant toad. Going back and forth, his hand shaking, he looked to Suki as he said "Am I the only one seeing this!?" He didn't know if he was losing his mind or not so he wanted to make sure with the Uchiha. However, he then looked back at the toad as he said "Are you real?!" With his eyes wide still, he slowly stepped towards the toad as he poked its stomach. The slimey skin felt so real and then Raiden jumped back next to Suki and said "HOLY HELL! IT IS REAL!" Not knowing what to do, he seemed to slowly back away as he nudged Suki's arm, signalling her to pretty much say "We gotta get out of here." He would then keep backing away slowly.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki smiled as her hand was shaken and she nodded and sighed~ "Tell me about it.." She was looking down at her gi that she had dropped when Raiden saw the toad so her reaction was delayed until she was asked about seeing something did she look up, "Wha?? Oh its just a Giant Toad." She said carelessly. She blinked as he nudged her and she re-evaluated what she had said and seen, "OH MY GOSH ITS A GIANT FREAKING TOAD!" She yelled as she had read only Toad this big are summonings and this toad seemed to be quite powerful and she didn't exactly want to stick aroun to meet its caster being that a few times rogues scan these woods. She noticed him backing away slowly and she simply grabbed his hand and bolted.~

Hobaninho: “Yo watch were you’re pointin’ that finga you know what I’m sayinnnn?” –The toad grumbled with the same funk added to his words as before. He slammed his wooden staff onto the ground in order to emphasize his clear concern with being jabbed in the stomach by some little kid. Hayate watched as he leaned to the right of the tree, which sort of spread his hair out to the side as well. Just as he saw them make a run for it a slight frown seemed to be visible on his face as he retraced his steps and ran up the trunk of the tree at a vertical angle. He’d keep pace with the two kids as they ran through the forest in clear panic. The toad, however, had different plans. After stomping his staff and seeing the kids run in the other direction his face scrunched up as his lip quivered. So much for his tough guy brovato.- “These youngins take one look at me and they just gon’ run away like dat?” –He asked himself before a look of fierce determination took over him as his eyes beamed forward. The toad quickly began to run after the two kids, his webbed feet so large so heavy that they created deep indents into the ground beneath him.- “IMA EAT YOU….AND STUFF!” –The toad roared in a comic sort of way as his speed seemed to excell beyond the two kids as he closed in the distance between them. His sheer size and speed would be intimidating yet his attitude seemed full of holes and weaknesses. Hayate stopped on a nearby tree branch as he gripped the trunk next to him. He chuckled once.- “A little over board, Gakuto.” –He whispered under his breath before continuing to keep the pace of the kids and Gakuto.-

DivineZiel: -Raiden would look back to the toad after Suki grabbed his hand and made them both bolt off. Seeing the toad follow them while yelling out what he did, he would pull away from Suki a bit as he says "Wait!" As he force his feet into the dirt, he tried to stop them both. If he didn't stop her, he would at least stop himself. Thinking about the toad's wording on how he said it, Raiden would look up at the toad however, with fear to be trampled on, he stood his ground. When the toad reached him, expecting him to stop, he would poke his stomach again and chuckle as he says "You're not mean. Well...at least to us for now.." He didn't want to run away but wanted to just stay where he was and figure it out. Worst comes to worse, he'd just have to run again, right? Smiling up to the toad's face, he said "Right now, it seems like you're a giant teddy bear!" After saying so, he noticed this by the '...and stuff' part. He waited for a response form Suki and the toad.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki was running while holding Raiden's hand thinking of ways to possibly take out or hold off this toad and his caster. She looked over her shoulder and noticed that despite how is toad was he could move just as fast as they could. At that point, she heard Raiden yell wait and he halted them both which, alarmed Suki as she halted in fear and she drew a kunai and got into an offensive stance, "Well,If I am gonna die at that hands of a rouge's Summoning why not go out with a bang." She said softly to herself as her blue eyes focused on the toad. However, she did realized that if this was a rouge ninja that they would have been dead as soon as the toad was discovered. Suki frowned as the reholstered her kunai and folded her arms and mumbled, "Ha, very funny I literally almost hand a heart attack. . ." She stood there as the toad appeared to get closer and she too stood her ground.~

Hobaninho: -Gakuto came to a screeching halt as he dug his webbed feet into the ground in a desperate attempt to stop himself before crashing into the kid that stopped right infront to face him. He looked down at the two kids who had surprisingly stopped and declared that they knew the toad’s true intentions. When the boy walked over and jabbed Gakuto in the stomach once again the boy’s finger sort of went inwards due to the toad’s squishy belly. Almost instantly, Gakuto jabbed the boy’s own stomach with his wood staff, a bit harder than the boy had jabbed him.- “Yo tot I told ya to watch where ya be puttin’ them fingers…why you gotta be like dat?” –Gakuto chided as he pulled his staff back towards him only to set one end on the ground as his webbed hands clapsed ontop of it.- “You try me again like dat and you’ll find out what we toads got hiding in our belly, eh?” –He teased the boy once again. He looked over to Suki and gave her a quick nod upwards as he snickered.- “Yeh dats right…put dem kunais away, you’ll only hurt yerself. HA HA HA.” –He laughed so hard he sprung his neck back and his mouth came wide open which lured out a rather large tongue and a ball shaped object ontop of it. The ball, a customary attachment to most toads’ mouths. Hayate came to a stop just about as soon as she saw Raiden stop as well as Suki. He crossed both arms over his chest as he continued to observe the scene down below with a very suttle smile on his face.

DivineZiel: -Raiden smiled to the toad as he says with a bright smile to him "I'm sorry, sir. It's just, I never seen a toad as big as you before. Well...actually...you're the first toad I've seen that hasn't been around the lake." Chuckling at his own words, Raiden kept the same smile as he looked to Suki and said "He's not bad at all. I wonder where his summoner is." After saying so, he would lose his smile as he tapped his chin and looked around however, he was a bit skeptical about this however, Raiden decided that since the toad seemed to have a sense of humor and very nice, he gave the bright smile back to him as he said "My name is Raiden Rinha!" He was actually pretty happy as of now with the way the toad was acting. Looking over to Suki, with his smile fading to a softer one, he then says "I'm sorry I was sad back there. Just don't like my father all that much but I'm sure you know that." Glancing back up to the toad after apologizing to Suki, he says "So what's your name?" He questioned it a bit still as where his summoner was however, it was fine just being them for now. Maybe his summoner would come around soon.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki stood there as the toad poked him and she simply stood there; ready if this toad was really planning something. The toad began to speak to her which cause Suki's eye to twitch slightly but, it quickly changed to a face of disgust as the toad laughed and she saw its tongue, "Yuck, be careful that toad has something on its tongue it could be sick or something." She yelled after Raiden. She was taken off gaurd by his apology to her, which brought her out of her foggy mood. "Uh, its fine really." She smiled and unfolded her arms but she stil didnt move anywhere closer or farther from that toad but she simply sat and opened one of her handsign scrolls. "Raiden, worry not, I've read about summonings, I bet that the summoner is closer than you think after all this person did call a toad out us that practically pranked us." She spoke with a matter of a fact tone as she scratched her head and looked up and the toad. "Do toads even have names?" She asked.~

Hobaninho: -Despite Gakuto’s rather robust attitude towards the two kids initially, his confident sneer slowly turned into an empathetic frown as his lip quivered just slightly. He forced himself to slam his staff one more time onto the ground in anger as he looked over at Suki in disbelief. He opened his mouth as if he were to berate the girl for another time but was stopped by the sudden appearance of a cloud of smoke that showed up right ontop of Gakuto, who looked up in pure instinct to react to something sudden.- “Now now…that’s no way to talk to my friend here…let alone toads in general. –Came a voice that seemed rather soft but stern which echoed from the cloud that was now slowly dissapating.- “Masta Hay!” –Gakuto yelled still sounding a bit upset as he looked up to see Hayate sitting ontop of Gakuto’s head with one leg on either side of the toad’s head. The cloud had dissapeared as Hayate’s figure came into full view. He was pretty tall although compared to the toad he sat on he didn’t seem it. His hair still bounced in the whole wave of movement that he created. He seemed like one of the more relaxed people you’d ever see; someone who was very comfortable in their own skin.- “Yes he does have a name and it happens to be Gakuto and he, like anyone else will not respond to constant insults.” –Hayate added as he waved a single finger while looking over to Suki. Meanwhile, Gakuto seemed irratated but a little calmer now that Hayate had arrived in his defense. Hayate turned his gaze to Raiden who was standing right below him. He smiled brightly and titled his head to the side.- “I didn’t expect ya to see through Gakuto that quick…guess he isn’t the best actor.” –Hayate chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. Gakuto also laughed, poking fun at himself.- “You got da right baus.” –Gakuto chuckled loudly.-

DivineZiel: -Hearing the words the toad spoke, he looked to him while he then saw somebody on top of his head. The toad yelled what he did as he then paused and then the male came into full view. Seeing him looking down to him as he then says "Gakuto...that's a cool name!" Smiling brightly to them both, he then looked up perfectly as he listens but only to say "Well, he kind of is however, not only did he leave little pieces of hints in his voice but when I first saw him, it just startled me. Though I'm sure he's just like I said. A big teddy bear." Giving such a shining smile to his last words, he then lost it while he says to the man "I'm Raiden Rinha however, I'm guessing you heard that already." Looking over to Suki, he would then slowly lose his smile as he the simply said while looking up to the man "So, what's your name?" His face looked confused as he wanted to know due to seeing his head having a forehead protector with that of the leaf village's symbol engraved into it and colored. He waited for him to talk however, he then wanted to hug the giant frog as he made him happy but Raiden didn't know why. Maybe seeing such an awesome thing in his life just gave him that much happiness however, Raiden didn't know for himself if that was the truth or not.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki was reading as the toad slammed his staff on the ground which made Suki smile slightly as she herself have gotten him but just in a different manner. Suki looked up from her scroll as the toad called for what she heard to be Master Hay. She heard the voice from a smoke cloud that formed over the toads head which was scolding her for being rude which almost made her laugh but she kept it in for even the summoner had fallen for it. She simply stood up and rolled up the scroll, and exchanged looks at both the toad and the jounin whom she had seen once already his name was Hayate and that was just about all that she caught that night. She bowed of course, even though she played a part she still could get in trouble for not repsecting authority. Suki looked at them as they laughed and talked amougst themselves and she spoke behind her mask which masked her facial expression that was a smile, "I suppose I was slightly out of line. . . I am sorry." She said .~

Hobaninho: “Masta Hay and I have beaten up many baddies togetha…aint no teddy beah I know that can do dat.” –Gakuto said as he grunted and did something along the lines of a sage nod. Hayate chuckled loudly at Raiden’s comment.- “Yeah well he may be something like that…but he can also do some serious damage.” –Hayate reassured Gakuto as he patted him ontop of the head a few times, to which Gakuto seemed a bit annoyed again. After hearing Raiden introduce himself he smiled and chuckled a few times.- “I know all about ya and your exploits Raiden.” –Hayate confirmed although didn’t seem to continue to elaborate on how or why. His eyes caught the sight of Suki standing next to Raiden as his face lit up a bit when he saw her bow his head.- “Confetti girl.” –He simply said as he casually gave her a salute as he teased her about the first time they had met right outside of Ichiraki. His eyes then turned back to Raiden who seemed probably even more upbeat than Hayate did which was not an easy thing to do.- “The names Hayate Namikaze.” –He said as he gave him a casual wave. Hayate was known throughout the village for many reasons. He would probably win the contest of knowing the most people in the village firstly. Secondly, his ninja exploits are well known throughout the village as he is famed for his speed and accelerated promotion to higher ranks at such a young age.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki sat on the head of Gakuto as he moved quite fast but not fast enough for them to fall off which was weird. She sat there quietly as she felt herself slipping which scared her slightly as she stood and focused her chakra into her feet which stalized her slightly as her sensei, Raiden and herself became closer to the mountain. She would be looking around when she noticed Raiden's hand extended to her due to the distance between them. She looked at him and thought before allowing herself to grab his hand and pulling her self closer to them. It was at that time they had reached a huge mountain that looked as if it could take a year to climb it. "Cool." She said as she looked around, hoping that they woulnd't have to climb it.~

Hobaninho: “Niceeee Gaku!” –Hayate roared as he looked down and grinned at his newly nicknamed toad companion. Gakuto was leaping on all fours and covering a great amount of distance with each gallop across the dirt opening between two tree lines. Hayate, despite the incredible speed and slightly questionable seating that was offered ontop of the toad, seemed like he couldn’t be any happier. His eyes looked like they may have been filled with fire as the intensity of mountain climbing was just moments away. Regardless of his excitement, he seemed totally confident that they would accomplish it; almost like he had done this maybe a millions times before. Gakuto came to a skidding halt as Hayate’s head bent upwards eyeing out the height of the mountain. It was at a somewhat of a slant and wasn’t necessarily flat which meant there would be a lot of good foot holds for Gakuto. He covered his eyes from the sun; the height would be enough to freighten the inexperienced. As he looked to his side and finally noticed the two kids sitting by his side he seemed to relax a bit, but the intensity still very much present. As he looked to his side he placed a firm hand on Raiden’s back, although clearly look at both of them.- “The mountain may seem intimidating but it can easily be defeated. All you need is faith in yourself.” –He said reassuringly as he slapped his open palm against his chest, his silver necklace bouncing around from the vibration.- “Masta Hay, you ready fo dis?” –The green toad moved his eyes upwards in an attempt to see them all. Hayate’s looked down at him with a serious smirky look you might give a best friend before doing something totally dangerous and crazy. No words were said as Gakuto formed a similar face and nodded.- “You gawdit!” –He bellowed before bending to create traction on the ground before leaping up and grabbing hold of some indents on the rocky wall. He climbed quicker then most would expect a toad to climb; something that again seemed to show both Hayate’s and Gakuto’s experience at these sort of things. Although the crazy level seemed to rise at the same pace the toad was climbing, there was something freeing about the whole journey of being exposed like everyone was. Atleast, that’s how the laughing Hayate seemed to think of it.- /E

DivineZiel: -He would pull Suki up next to him and Hayate as he chuckled while they still were going towards the mountain in the distance. Little time passed as they finally reached it and they were then stopped which made Raiden sit up, so he could see perfectly. His giggles stopped as Raiden would look up at the mountain as he took in the height. His dark hues glistening against the sunlight while he then let his bright smile fade away due to feeling someone's hand on his back. Looking over to Hayate, seeing his arm extended out a bit and then looked up to him and into his eyes, Raiden heard his words as they went into his mind and bounced around in thought. Thinking about how the mountain can be related to his father and how overcoming the mountain can be almost like overcoming his father. Raiden also thought about having faith in himself. Keeping his eyes on Hayate, he would give a light nod and a soft smile as he then looked back up to the mountain as he stayed in the criss cross sitting style with his right hand pointing up the mountain and yelled "LETS DO THIS!" He was ready for this to happen, at this given moment, Raiden felt free from anything and everything but simple thoughts. Placing his right hand back onto his right thigh, palm against cloth, his left hand did just the same. With that being done, Gakuto started up the mountain while he heard Hayate laughing, Raiden simply joined in since this was quite fun to have happen on this day after meeting somebody such as Hayate who seemed to be caring, strict as well as fun. Raiden only watched and laughed with Hayate as Gakuto climbed the mountain with all three of them on his head.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki blinked for at that time they had not moved but she was caught off gaurd by Gakuto's question of being ready which made the blonde kunoichi gasp as she slightly moved over to her sensei's other side and whispered, "Umm...ready for what exactly?" She asked her blue eye focusing a nervous glare into the side of his face. It was odd because she realized that she found security within him after living in the woods on her own for so long. She never really found herself trusting many people to her vulnerabilities. Hayate met eyes with the Toad which amade Suki groan softly as she had a feeling that hey werent climbling this moutain by normal standards. As Gakuto crouched, Suki squealed and grabbed onto his arm as she burrowed her face into it and she paused as she noticed what she was doing and let him go before clearning her throat and admiring the whole expirence as she yelled, "Yeah Gakuto, You got it!"~

Hobaninho: -The sound of cheers, laughter and a few grunts from Gakuto filled the air as the four of them made their way up the mountain in a very swift fashion. Hayate glanced over towards Raiden who had an unusually illuminated face than he tended to have. Raiden seemed to look like a gitty boy; which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Hayate smiled warmly at the thought just before he felt something nudge at the other side of him. Turning around, Hayate saw Suki burying her head into the side of him. She seemed worried and maybe even vulnerable. What happened next happened too fast for Hayate to even continue his train of thought. Hayate turned and faced forward to see one of Gakuto’s webbed hands surrounded by bunches of small and chipped rocks that were yanked out from underneath the toad’s hand. Gakuto instinctivly held onto the wall with his other hand which caused his entire body along with those ontop of him to swing to the left in a rather choppy motion. The weight of Gakuto caused his body to swing quickly as it hammered into the wall at his side. Hayate was quick to react and wrapped an arm around both Raiden and Suki and pulled them in close to him as he stabalized his own hold to Gakuto with his legs. Little damage was done to Gakuto, but the position they where in wasn’t at all pleasant. The rugged toad grunted again as he found holds for his feet which provided more of an arch for them to sit on. It was a precarious state no doubt, but the mountain top was in reach.-

DivineZiel: -Raiden felt Gakuto lose his footing a bit but attempted to get it back however, then felt and arm being wrapped around him by Hayate. Being pulled close into his body, he looked up to Hayate and said "Heyyyy, why are you doing this? This is really fun, either way." He chuckled as he stayed there but didn't rather like it all that much. Staying close to Hayate's body, he felt Gakuto get steady with his positioning as Raiden then looked up to see the rest of the mountain that has yet to be reached. Thinking to himself "So close" he would look up to it brightly as he had no other words to describe right now but being a bunch of fun, even if the thought of death fled into his mind, it would still be fun. Looking over and up to Hayate, he says "Well, even if we were to fall, I'm sure we'd be fine however, the way I see it is that we should be living everyday as our last because everybody should die with a smile on their face." Raiden smiled brightly up to Hayate, even though the words were probably to take a surprise to him, Raiden kept his eyes looking up as he kept the smile since they were to soon overcome this mountain, in such an awesome way.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki stood there like a mini-mountain upon Gakuto; wiling herself not to freakout. "Suki, you will be fine this a jounin summoning we are talkig about." She thought to herself. Just as she though about it, Gakuto seemed to stumble, but before she could freak out she found herself suggled next her sensei. Suki blinked as she could smell him closely, he had a small scent of aftershave with a mix of a certain smell she couldn't exactly pinpoint but, she hadn't smelled it since her father which made her grasp on to him but, she did it so that it seemed as if she was leaning for support. She couldn't let him go; she felt like a weirdo but, she didn't care it was the homeness within it and she missed her old life unlike any could imagine. She kept her head tilted so that Hayate could see the back of her head as she let out a few tears being carful to let them fall upon her sandle so that the toad couldn't feel it in a fear of being exposed. Raiden spoke which was kind of made think of her parent's dying and she was pretty sure they did't smile which made he stop crying as she let Hayate go but he still held her; "OR we could not die at all I kinda like living." She said adding a slight laugh to the end as she looked around to forulate escape: plan B.~

Hobaninho: -The toad finally stopped swaying from side to side which provided a strong sense of stability. Atleast…the strongest sense of stability you could get when being perched on the side of a mountain hundereds of feet in the air. However, Hayate didn’t seem to faulter one bit and neither did Gakuto.- “Yo Hay, we gotta situation heah.” –Gakuto said while dropping the formalities with his summoner. Hayate sat in between Raiden and Suki and after finally being at an evel level ontop of Gakuto it was safe to let go of the two of them. The strong grip that Suki had on Hayate suddenly dissapated as she curled up to the side. No words were said.- “Hey.” –Hayate chided in as he ducked his head infront of Suki’s and gave her a heartwarming smile. It was funny how calm he seemed.- “Remember what I said before? Anything can be accomplished with determination.” –He said reassuringly to Suki before turning back towards Raiden who had a near creepy smile on his face. The boy was sure to get some sort of adrenaline rush out of something like this but he seemed like a different person. His ‘comforting words’ came off as something besides that as indicated by Suki’s harsh retort. He sighed and smiled as he palmed Raiden’s head and ruffled up his hair.- “Yeah yeah…I don’t think we will be among the dead this day.” –He said with confidence. - “Yo Gaku!” –He yelled as he bent over and looked his toadly friend right in the eye.- “Propulsion Toad?” –He asked, his words hardly seeming to make sense. Surprsingly, Gakuto chuckled and nodded once in a very sage-like way.- “Don’t ya burn meh like last time Hay.” –He demanded as Hayate smiled before sitting back in his place between the two kids.- “Alright…hold on!” –He ordered the two kids as he formed the Tiger seal with his hands. After a few seconds, a small line of flames appeared going up the middle of his back and stretching over his shoulders.- “HAHHHH!” –The longer he roared the larger the flames got until eventually Gakuto began to move forward. As he did, Gakuto reached for a new hold and pushed off from it only to have his entirety fly up into the air and just over the top of the mountain and laying flat on his belly. It all happened so quick, but they were all safe now. Infront of them was a beautiful view of Konoha itself. The sun’s rays glistened off of the buildings, which made it all the better to witness.-

DivineZiel: -Raiden would look to Hayate as he said "I doubt we'd die with you here." Chuckling softly, he let Hayate do what he was going to do by speaking with Gakuto. Hearing Hayate say hold on, Raiden would smile bright wide as he then gripped onto Hayate's shirt a bit more to keep himself stable. As they went into the air, Raiden was laughing from having fun, so far. Keeping the bright smiles with his lips and teeth parting while he laughed while screaming at the same time. Once they landed, he looked to the village. Stopping his giggles and such, he lost his smile as he let go of Hayate and put his hands back onto his thighs and kept his black hues on the beautiful Hidden Leaf. This was the village he lived in and he didn't know how beautiful it looked but with this view, the sun, it made it much more gorgeous than what Raiden thought it was. Looking up to Hayate, he would say "Konoha is so beautiful." The bright smile returning to his lips, he then looked back to the village as he pointed towards it with his right hand and said "One day, I'll be Hokage! I don't know how long I'll have to train or even live for in order to earn that title however, I'll get there, one day!" Raiden kept the bright smile as he then let his hand slowly go back to his thigh with both elbows bent. Admiring the view, he didn't want to leave this place. Thinking to himself "If Hayate-sama is like this everyday, I would love to be his student when I graduate however, that's something that I can't pick, though, I wish I could pick my teammates." Glacing over to Suki, he let his smile fade away as he remembered hearing her words and sighed as he then chuckled but kept a blank expression to only say to her "I like living to and if anything, I'd protect you with my life." Giving her a small smile, Raiden looked back to Konoha and only set his eyes on it with a gentle smirk upon his lips.-

SukiiChan: ~Suki was in mid tear as Hayate managed to bend his face to say hey to her which she immediately lifted her head up and that was the time at which He had said sme thing that was all erased when she saw a fire jutsu that made her jaw drop. The power of it was great enough to move a toad whom at this point, had gotten a nice grip and soared up the mountain. She met the challenge head on she saw them flying almost and the sky ad the clouds along with birds whom seemed to dance over the village in glee as you could see the busy life blood of Konoha through her very eyes. She was utterly transfixed; Nature was her best friend and also at timed her worse enemy and in this case it moved with such beauty with ever ray of light and the breeze that blew the blonde hair as her blue eyes twikled. She overheard his goal of becoming Hokage which made her smile as she continued to look upon Kohona, "I don't belong here... My goal is to become Mizukage... I doubt that is even possible since I am here but you know what? I don't care I will claw my way to the top." She said as she looked at him only to meet his gaze and vow for protection. She smiled, " I owe you the same, Let's make it our goal that we fight for each other and our goal no matter the cost." Her hair blew softly in the wind as she envisioned her future of her visiting Konoha with the Kage hat upon her head meeting with her very own teammate whom had become Hokage. She wanted to train she could feel an excitement deep drive within her that made her all tingly on the inside and she could feel she chakra churning its self. It was to be quite the journey but, she was ready.~

Hobaninho: -Hayate turned and looked over at the view just as everyone else did. He smiled warmly, as an artist he very much appreciated such a beautiful landscape that Konoha provided. Often times he’d attempt to sketch it but never fully got the jist of it. He shrugged it off and turned to the two kids with wide eyes and a gleaming grin on his face. He wrapped an arm around both of them and slid down the side of Gakuto, his weight bringing both of them with him as they all landed on their feet with ease.- “Let’s get a better look!” –He cheered while walking over closer to the edge with both hands on his hips while looking down at the actual village infront of them. Gakuto followed slowly behind but remained silent for now, perhaps for all his teddybearness, was a fan of the arts as well. Hearing the confident words of Raiden, Hayate turned and smiled while tilting his head slightly to the side as he tended to do. For all of his positive traits, Hayate seemed full of quarks.- “I have no doubt about it!” –He confirmed Raiden’s words of becoming Hokage, fully acknowledging the boy. Hayate seemed to have a way with kids and it wouldn’t be so far fetched as to say he had kids of his own; yet that remained unknown for now. He then pointed towards the faces etched into the mountain across them on the other side of the village.- “Maybe you’ll both wind up there eventually. All you need to know for now is to never lose your determination.” –Hayate said as he hinted back to what he said before and during their collossal climb up the mountain. There was a pause for a moment before Hayate chided back in- “Okay!” –He said cheerfully before jumping back ontop of Gakuto.- “See ya!” –Hayate waved back and forth as he grinned wildly. It seemed abrupt yet Hayate remained oblivious to that fact for now.- “Peace out Kiddies.” –Gakuto said super swaggy like as he turned a hand into a fist and bumped his chest a few times before throwing up the peace sign before turning over to the ledge to the side of them. Hayate’s face as serious as ever.- “Now let’s beat this joint yo.” –Hayate said which sounded nearly just like Gakuto would have said it.- “Yeeh yeeh Masta Hay.” –Gakuto replied as the toad leaped from the cliff and dissapeared from the kid’s sight. It was unclear if they just commited suicide or had an actual plan to get down to the mountain.-
