Raziel walked away feeling a little more smug then he should have, and it showed on his face despite how much he tried to hide it. And here I thought I'd get lectured like the rest. But, I was actually commended! It did kind of bother him the way Yuuki said 'oldest member', or to Raziel, seemed to say it. It made him feel out of place.

He walked over and joined Hisoka and Ranshi, all the time trying his hardest to not smile in an atmosphere that seemed to mimic getting a detention or a long lecture.

"Akira, Akira, Akira," Yuuki started, "Where do we start?" Honestly, he had absolutely no idea what to critique first.

Finally, he settled on an initial topic. "You need an attitude change," he began. "Coming here with an absolute disgust, an absolute hatred for me, and expression of both of these to the point of belittling two of your peers AND me! Find your place, boy. Step down your ego to where your abilities are."

Not wanting to dwell on a single point very long, the comments continued. "Your battle style is elegant. Your moves are not expedited, however. You need to work on your shadow clone management, and your disease...thing. What is that, by the way? If this cripples you from fighting, maybe you don't need to be a ninja.

"And that's another thing--have some respect for your nation. I know you're not native to this land, but we're doing all we can for you. We let your parents migrate here from a near-enemy village. We're giving you the honored, the privileged, and the RESPECTED STATUS of being a NINJA. Do you know that there are people that cannot become ninja because they are not skilled enough? And you think you are too skilled to become one under the banner of Konoha."

Yuuki inserted a pause for comments before the long lecture continued.

"Um... hmmm... to answer your questions in order, sir.
1. I figure that some people will hate me for my attitude, and that its now your place to say. I'll just shut up, and let you do all the talking from now on and keep my thoughts to myself.
2.Thank you, don't concern yourself about my disease it won't strike again for about 30 days. And I'll start taking the pills again in 20, and stop in 40. As long as I keep doing that the Disease will be in check.
3. My respect for Konoha is not shown. I respect Konoha as a whole. And I respect all the people who helped make it, and defend it.
4. I know that other people can't become ninja. But to be mean, its not my problem, and I should not worry about it.

Please go on, oh and before you do... You haven't seen what all I can do sensei."

Hisoka hadn’t had much of a chance to talk properly with Raziel, especially after Akira possessively stole him away earlier. Either way their current combat genius and oldest member didn’t look too bad, so with a grin he rose and headed over to meet him. “Congrats Raziel, thanks to you we find out that Yuuki-sensei does have a nice…well positive side!” He said with a chuckle. “I’m Akitako Hisoka by the way, nice t’meet you.”

"Well if it causes you to faint in the middle of a battle, clearly it isn't in check," Yuuki coldly retorted. "And it is your problem. The people that can't look up to those that can. If they see some snobby kid being called what they want to be called but can't be called, they will lose all respect for the title and Konoha, just for giving that one snobby kid the honor of being a ninja. That's why it's your job to be presentable. For Konoha.

"Just work on your attitude and your skills. Let's move on from this petty exercise.

"Alright," he beamed as he turned his attention to the group as a whole, rather than at an individual, for the first time in a while. "We'll all meet here tomorrow at 4:00 AM. If you're late, you will be sent back to the academy. Oh and one more thing: If you won your match today, you are excused until 5:00." Only one of them fits that category. This will cause definite angst between them. Just what I want; I can reinforce the point that being on good terms with allies is important...

"Well, I think sensei's probably normally a nice guy. I mean, maybe his last mission didn't work well and after all, we did make a simple task into a complicated one." Raziel said trying not to sound like a suck-up. "And it's a pleasure you meet you officially, Hisoka." Raziel said while shaking his squad-mate's hand.

Raziel heard Yuuki get everyone's attention. This is strange, is he intentionally trying to get us angry at each other? He thought as Yuuki told them when to arrive the next day. Doesn't bother me that much, but then again, I'm not the other two.

"Very well then... I'll meet you guys here... Whenever." He said, walking away...

(I'll take some time to explain his very interesting home setting...)

When Ranshi reached the road again, he didn't head into town. Instead, he continued along the edge of the road, until the buildings became smaller, and the people became less frequent. Finally, he turned off a path, barely visible between the trees. He traveled through the forest, until he came upon his humble abode. A large, dark edifice carved from black stone, surrounded by high tombstones. The large clearing was Konoha's graveyard, where most commoners were buried. The clearing was only a small portion of the graveyard, as it expanded far back into the forest. Kept under watch of Mikoyose Abunai, Ranshi's father and leader of the clan, the graveyard was truly the quietest, most sanctified place in Konoha.

"Father, Mother, I have returned from my training." Ranshi said, looking around. His mother, a calm, quiet woman, was sitting in a chair, knitting.

"Ranshi, how was the training?" She said, with a light smile.

"Fine. My teammates were... Interesting. But capable, for the most part." He said, as he placed his equipment in his room. His father came down the stairs, the tapping of his feet against the stone telling of his arrival.

"Hello, father." He said, looking at his father. The large, powerful man wore a black robe, and carried a scroll on his back, rather than a coffin like Ranshi's. He had dark hair, broad shoulders, and wore a plethora of traditional tattoos on his arms, something that Ranshi would acquire when he became the head of the Mikoyose clan. Ranshi told his parents of his exercise, his teammates, and his sensei. He spent the rest of his day training lightly, and waiting for his next day of training.

"You don't understand my disease so don't concern yourself with it. If it bothers you so much, I explain it more clearly. The Disease will only make me pass out if my chakra is nearly all gone. The disease will ONLY make me pass out once a month. If I have taken a pill that day, that the disease would make me pass out, I will not pass out, and the disease will have no effects on me for another month. However, the long term effect of the disease is this; it eats away the chakra network, slowly cutting off chakra to every part of my body. Within ten years I will have no chakra network, and my body will die."
"About it being my problem. I understand your point of view, but I still do not believe it is my problem, I didn't make it where they could not become ninja, nor can I make it where they can. I do not concern myself with it when theres nothing I could of done to prevent it, or fix it."

When is sensei finished, and looked back to the group he walked away from his sensei, and did not rejoin his teammates. He listened to what he had to say. And waited for what his sensei had in store for him, all this time Akira has been concentrating on his chakra, slowly building back up... however it won't be back to full for hours to come.

As Raziel mentioned making a simple task a complicated one he couldn’t help turning to look in Akira’s direction. “Your right, it’s a mistake we wont do again,” The boy said lightly before turning back to the other boy with a grin as they shook hands.

Hisoka turned to Yuuki sensei whose announcement for some reason didn’t surprise him as he sighed softly. Well I could guess either he or my uncle would do that… He thought to himself. At the mention of being sent back to the academy again his jaws clenched as he couldn’t help wondering if that was aimed at him. But instead of commenting on it he offered the man a slight bow, “Yes Sensei! Forgive me for being the reason you have to rise that early.” With that he turned to Raziel, “I’ll see you in the morning, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.”

The youngest of the team with his hand on his weapon left the group, and headed through the crowded village streets on his way home. Here he picked up a couple of things for his aunt, before jogging the rest of the way as he wondered what he should say to his uncle. Nothing came to mind as he wished he’d been given the chance to redeem himself today. With a sigh he paused at the gate before entering the main clan house.
As time past he found out his uncle had been sent on a mission in a distant country, but despite this favourable turn of events he told his aunt everything. All of which he knew would be given word for word to his uncle when he returned, but until then he listened to his aunts soothing words and advice. After which he ate an early meal before heading to an adjoining building that contained all the clan weapons and offered a large space to train. Here he forced himself through harsh weapon training, then went outside to train in Taijutsu on the training posts. By the end of it all he was exhausted and retired before sunset ready for the early rise the next day.

(btw everybody, there's going to be a bit of a chronological spasm here...a time fart...as long as you get your character to the site at 4:30 AM, you can make the time before then go as fast or as slow as you want. )
