I seem to be......what?

After everyone finished their introductions, Akira noticed that Ki had seemed to want to say something to him. Out of all of the shinobi here, he seemed the most serious and the one whose ability would most tricky to deal with if the two of them weren't in the same village. Akira pondered some more but then he snapped into attention when Takai began speaking once more. Akira was interested in what Takai would look like with both orange and white hair. But he pushed the thought away for another time. What interested him was what Takai had to say. They were to pick a partner to work with. Akira began thinking about who worked best with him. Tenma had said Akira, though focused on genjutsu, was nicely balanced out, if he had an effective partner, then not one of his illusions would be wasted.

I've worked well with Ike before, He seems to fit into my style, though he should keep that mouth shut more. Ki's sound abilities will be useful to further strengthen my illusions...the others I'm not sure how they would fit into my style....the time guy, maybe...Hmmm.

"Anyone would be fine for me. I've fought alone before. So I wouldn't really care. But if you were to pick a partner, it should be one who can effectively work well following up with my illusions."

Akira cast his gaze around the table once more, checking off the people in his mind. Now that he thought about it, he could work together with any one of them. The question was who would best work with him. Akira didn't like those who seemed too happy, though that was just a preference. Any one of theml might be useful, as long as they had the skills to finish off someone. While Akira didn't like to admit it, he could easy fit into any team. Akira would trap them and his partner would land the finishing blow. Akira closed his eyes and pondered some more.

Tch, maybe working alone would be best.....

Kintaro quickly thought about what the person everyone was listening too had said. He did not know anyone at the table. He has seen some of them around the village but nothing more then that. The ideal sized group was of two... possibly three.

Plants... what goes good with a sunflower or a leaf. Kintaro smiled to himself as he was making fun of his own techniques. There are so many techniques to partner with... I'm going to have to think this one through. No more funny business... i could be killed in this mission unfortunately. Ok lets see what we have here... Only one I could think of is a water user. They could aid my plants by protecting me from any fire users as well as attack with me. Kintaro took a long sigh and looked around the room. He was trying to remember each persons technique.

A Time manipulator would also be an option. He could possibly speed up the growth of my plants and make them grow even larger. That would be cool. I don't know though I am going to let the leader take control of the situation... I am still very new to all of this.

Wait i thought of another one... Sound. Since my plants attack based off of sound that would be great if we were paired. The plants obviously cant see so, with the help of enhanced sound waves, my plants would have bullseye aim Kintaro smirked to himself and acknowledged himself as a genius for coming up with these ideas.

Taeko jumped slightly in her seat before mumbling something under her breath. She glanced in Takai's direction and narrowed her eyes at him. She felt his cold feet run up and down her calves and looked away. She was using all her strength not to flip the table over and shove her foot in his face. Before shouting at him to not rub his feet on her like she was some kind of heater. The fact that he continued to talk as if he wasn't doing anything was pissing her off more. Her elbow slammed against the table as she rested her chin in her palm. Calmly she listened to Ki and everyone else in the room as best as she could.

"I really don't care who i work with," She finally spoke up,"I'll be happy to work with anyone." She said before grabbing a headset she moved to sit down next to Takai. Reaching up she grabbed his ear and pulled him down slightly so she could speak. "Put your nasty feet on me one more time and i wont hesitate to shove my foot up your nose." She hissed under her breath. Letting go of his ear she smiled at him. She then took the head set and put it on, adjusting it so it wouldn't fall off during battle.

I'm going to have to work with someone where we both can back each other up offensively and defensively. Where one's weakness is the others strength and vice versa. As long as they are willing to work and fight i don't care who i'm paired with. I just hope we can survive through it all.

Hayashi listened intently as each person began to explain that they didn't care who they wanted to be partnered with. Then after that they'd mention some sort of preference, at least for the most part. They were contradicting themselves and he found it to be somewhat entertaining.

He noted the rank of everyone while reaching over for a headset in Takai's box of toys. There weren't many high ranked shinobi in this group and he was among the top 3 in rank and top 2 in strength. This meant only one thing for him, and due to his battle style it made things all the more clear.

"I will go alone. I'm balanced in all facets so I'll be able to take care of myself. At the same time I wouldn't be the best of backup because I couldn't cover someone's weaknesses as well as someone with a specialty. If I'm partnered with someone then it doesn't matter, but my preference stands."

He adjusted the headset so that it fit comfortably on his head and left the frequency at default. If Takai hadn't specified a frequency, then it was probably preset. He looked around and then back at Takai, awaiting what his commander would decide was the best grouping in terms of strength.

Even with the enthusiasm that some show, it seems that this major chord is gradually diminishing to a minor one. Battle is coming, and I hope that everyone will be ready to give it their all when the time comes.

"Eef it wouldn't be to hard...could you put Kintaro end miself een the same team?"

He secretly asked Takai. He took his spot beside the only friend he had there and stood beside him.

"Oh, and I can make...boom boom..."

Bakuto said, not exactly sure how to explain his power.

"I...can meke...random...explode..."

He explained with the best of his ability. Bakuto smiled as he knew he sounded rediculous.

"I blow shit up with my mind..."

Wow, that was in a quite good english...was what most people thought. Honestly, those were the only words he could really say without an accent.

"Before you ask, I haven't had the time to set a frequency for them...Hayashi can you deal with that please while I try and sort out the groupings for the battle...Please involve at least one other member of this group so that if for whatever reason you fall then at least someone will be able to deal with the headset frequencies..."

Takai felt Taeko tug his ear and heard her empty threat towards him and as she realised him he smiled. Blowing a kiss to her and beaming a smile towards her, he returned to the business at hand. He looked around the group at those who had told him their strengths and those who hadn't. He had heard the new person enter the fray and heard what he had said. Takai queried the decision at first but then accepted it in his head. The two seemed to know each other well enough and Takai was happy to allow them to work together. However it was the rest of the group that he was thinking about, their skills did not wholly complement each other. Takai sighed and rubbed his eyebrows as he continued to think about the match ups.

"Well, I will be on my own as I am the strongest member of the group and should be able to handle myself the best...Hayashi's balanced nature has also meant that he is better to be working on his own as it would be near useless in pairing him up...Umm, you...new guy...You can go with Kintaro as requested as you two seem to somewhat know each other...Well then Taeko, you can be paired with Ki, try not to demoralise him too much though...he's a flower really. Akira and Sakyuu you two are paired together as well, if it is possible for you then you could speed up his Genjutsus and act as a good, strong line of defence for him...Ike you are one of the strongest here as well which is why you will need to fight solo on this occasion...I trust you will be able to handle yourself, but I would appreciate it if you were to keep me as well updating on the groups as possible"

Takai lounged back in the seat as he waited for Hayashi to tell him if things were alright with the headsets. Or if there were any other questions.

Konsetsu awoke in the crows nest freezing and slightly wet. Shivering to the point where he couldnt not feel anything Konsetsu went to grab his swords but the cold metal hurt his hands. A whimper of pain escaped his mouth as he grabbed his swords despite the pain and climbed down to the lower much warmer deck and just to his luck where EVERYONE was located. Closing the door behind him and climbing the stairs Konsetsu could hear Takai saying something about teams or who was stronger but he payed no attention, he needed a blanket so he could warm himself.

Going to the back of the boat he found a blanket and several at that and quickly lay three on the ground and wrapped himself down in about five of them his boots and outer clothing hanging by his sword which was leaned to the side of the wall Konsetsu had picked to lay down near. Quickly getting warmer Konsetsu peered out of his blankets to see the rest of the sound and suna ninja conversing and getting ready for their imminent conquests to which Konsetsu sighed heavily, beside the one gennin boy hassius and takai who was way to busy Konsetsu knew not a soul on the boat and was quickly getting the feeling of being an oridinary boy in a room full of superheroes.

"Ah man I just want to go home this sucks....i dont even have a single friend on this boat....why'd i agree to this anyway" A single tear welled in Konsetsus eye before it was whisked away as his head quickly fell to the floor and Konsetsu finally was beginning to drift off into sleep again finally warm and finally slightly happy. "Its a good thing there arent any kunoichi in this part of the boat that'd suck if they saw me so vulnerable"

Out of no where, Ki's level of respect for this ninja; Takai, did not change, but his main overview of Takai did. He may listen and follow his orders, but other than that, Ki has nothing to do with him. To insult a ninja by looking at them was something a pest would do, in which was one flaw of Ki's he did not adore much. Ki could not stand being made fun of, or be underestimated to any extent unless it was by shear rank difference. He looked at Taeko and nodded, and then at Takai and shook his head in dismay. Yet, Ki had no real reason to stay mad, but he might as well cope with it this time, but it basically ruined Takai's chance of being friends with Ki to higher view, which was mostly likely doubtful, to Ki inability to stay mad for long periods of time. As that was pointed out, Ki walked away towards an empty table and then sat down at it, and put his arms on top of the table and thought for a while. looked at his right arm and then at Takai and he clenched his fist a bit.

Getting mad...does not help this matter.

Ki shook his head again and looked at the wall ahead of him and starred, just thinking about what shall go down with this team of ninja. will they die, or live. But Ki has all the intentions of living, for sure. Later on Ki would most likely go over to Taeko and try to find out some strategies they could work out, or maybe some combination attacks for the offensive and defensive portions of this mission. Suddenly Ki looked at her, and yelled:

"Taeko-kun, come over here if you would?"

Ki said to Taeko; pointing at the chair next to him. He did not know what she would do. would she come over, or blow him off, and make fun of him like her so found 'sensei'. He sighed and awaited her next move. Meanwhile he waited he found a pitcher of water and a clean cup on his table, unused. He picked up the pitcher and poured a glass of water and drank it. The water was cool, but not cold. It started to warm up to the room's temperature, and soon would be that. He put the glass down but still held it, and looked at Taeko again.

I almost forgot...I should turn it to the right channel, at least.

Ki thought of as he picked up his opposite hand and turned the dial to the frequency that Takai had instructed Hayashi to program, which led Ki to stop messing with the dial until he was given the right frequency. Ki put his hand down and took another drink and looked up at the wooden planks above him and sighed with a short breath. He picked up the pitcher and refilled his glass and looked down at the table, to put the pitcher back down.

How long until we arrive..I wonder....

Kintaro gladly accepted the teams... as his partner would be a friend... a very strange friend that it. He bent over someone to get two headsets, one for him and one for Bakuto. He picked both of them up and chucked one at Bakuto. "Yo Bakuto"

Kintaro walked over to a counter and sat on a stool. He was very thirsty and grabbed himself a drink that was sitting on the counter. He didn't even care who's it was at this point. He downed whatever it was and put the glass down. "What was that" It left a weird taste in his mouth.

He looked around the room as teams were being made. He was happy that there were some experienced shinobi there, in case anything happens. If he does well in this mission he will be acknowledged as a good genin and team player.

When is this boat ride going to end. I am starting to get a little seasick. Hopefully Bakuto serves as a good teammate and we both win in the end.

Kintaro remembered the headset frequency was not set. He held his hand to his ear and set it to the correct channel. After a few more drinks Kintaro laid his arms down and then buried his head into his hands. He was comfortable for a few minutes until the boat rocked. He banged his head on the glass. Damn Kintaro swore under his breath and tried to go back to sleep until the trip was over.

Bakuto followed Kintaro, happy that he was in teams with a friend. Bakuto smiled a bit taking some of a drink he ordered and as soon as Kintaro had his thought about Bakuto being a good teamate or something like that Bakuto hurled his drink over the counter to the bartender. Bakuto smiled at Kintaro and nodded a bit as he took the headset of the camera and tuned it right.

"Hmm Monsier...theez ez going to be...one Hell of a time!"

Bakuto smiled and then looked at Kintaro and raised his next drink in the air as the ship lurched, throwing him into a wall.

"Woah...that hurt..."

He muttered.
