[attr="class","ren"]AND NOW I'M ALL ALONE IN MY STARLESS MIND

Having a full team of genin was certainly an opportunity for great things. A full squad of genin to show off their skills to each other and fun complicated lessons to pass on any wisdom or to test their mental and or physical fortitude. It was an exciting time for Tadashi! It was like being a teacher back at the academy, but the stakes were higher and the danger levels could be even higher! Not that the danger he simulated while teaching in the academy wasn't already dangerous enough for academy students, but this time he could be a bit more dastardly with his plans to make them even more realistic about what they could experience out in the field.[break][break]

But first, all the prep involved would require quite a bit of metaphorical red tape involved and though it took some time he was able to procure the necessary licenses and reservations for the lesson as needed. Then of course he needed to fully build the lesson plan for the three genin he would be instructing and after quite a few hours of work the fruits of his labor were complete and all that was left was to invite the three boys to the designated meeting point.[break][break]

This meeting point was The Blossom Garden where there were tons of people gathered around enjoying the area and praying at the shrine in the center of the park. An unusual location for their lesson, but it would be a nice change of pace for their lesson instead of a simple training field or even the forests nearby. All that Tadashi needed was for his team to arrive and sitting just outside the shrine on a patch of grass he awaited his three genin to show up. Hopefully, this lesson would be as fun for them as it was for Tadashi to come up with.

"Are you ready?" Gundan's words were nothing but a whisper. These whispers reverberated within the cobwebs of Satoru's mind, thus confirming the doubts that lingered. "You don't seem ready, boy!" His Life Blade snickered out of the sheer excitement to witness how the incoming event was going to unfold.
[break][break]
The place of meeting wasn't the regular forest or training field. Satoru didn't know such was the case. He didn't how much his team leader had put a thought into their first ideas. This was Satoru's first rodeo, after all. He didn't what to expect, and he didn't know what was going to happen. The young medic knew, however, the need to arrive early. The last thing he needed to happen was getting a bad first impression from his leader.
[break][break]
The blossom garden.
[break][break]
The garden was hustling and bustling with visitors. It was spring where all flowers blossomed. Satoru contemplated the view before him. His cerulean eyes reflected the various colors the flowers presented him. His nostrils felt the beautiful scent the roses offered him. For a moment, the young medic wondered what kind of an activity they were bound to partake in, in a place so congested with people. Satoru reached the shrine offering his respect. After that, he went looking for his new leader. A task that took some time considering how busy the place was.
[break][break]
"Murakami, Satoru." He gave the new leader respect by offering a bow, after introducing himself. After that, the young medic waited. He wasn't sure what to say. He wasn't great at opening up conversations.

Touwa arrived at The Blossom Garden with a sense of ambivalence. His posture was impeccable, reflecting the pride and confidence that had been instilled in him from a young age. However, his expression was one of mild annoyance, a subtle frown creasing his otherwise composed features. The hustle and bustle of the garden, with its throngs of people and vibrant activity, was not to his liking. It was too chaotic, too common for someone of his stature.
[break][break]
As he approached the designated meeting point near the shrine, he spotted Tadashi sitting on the grass, exuding an air of eager anticipation. The sight of his father’s enthusiasm only deepened Touwa’s irritation. He respected his father, but their differing perspectives often clashed. Tadashi’s excitement over these training sessions seemed trivial to Touwa, who saw them as mere formalities. Nevertheless, he understood the importance of maintaining decorum and did his best to keep his disdain in check.
[break][break]
With a deep sigh, Touwa made his way over to Tadashi and the other genin who had already arrived. His eyes flicked over to Satoru, noting the young medic's respectful demeanor. He offered a curt nod in acknowledgment, his expression remaining stoic.
[break][break]
"Fa...Tadashi-sensei," Touwa greeted with a polite bow, his tone respectful yet laced with an underlying sarcasm, "I must say, an outdoor lesson amidst the blossoms is quite... unconventional. Are we expected to fight off an army of cherry blossoms today?"
[break][break]
He stood with his arms crossed, maintaining a dignified posture. Despite his internal grumblings, he was determined to approach the session with the grace expected of him as a member of the Tokonatsu clan. He glanced at Tadashi, trying to gauge his father’s intentions for this training location. The garden, though beautiful, seemed an odd choice for anything rigorous or meaningful.
[break][break]
Touwa’s thoughts briefly wandered to Kuro who would have found the garden fascinating. His respect for animals and nature was one of the few things that could break through his veneer of indifference. However, that moment of softness was fleeting, quickly replaced by his usual aloofness.

SPOILER: Click to show

斬術 | Zanjutsu [lit. Cutting Technique]
[break][break]
The Araikettei clan's hijutsu allows the user to obtain and wield the Life Blade - Ruiteki. The blade has its own consciousness and is capable of acting on its own. Regardless, Touwa and his Life Blade are inextricably linked to life and death. When one dies, the other dies, and thus anyone who is not Touwa is unable to wield the weapon.
[break][break]
毒耐性 | Doku Taisei [lit. Poison Tolerance]
[break][break]
Touwa has a higher tolerance to biological toxins and poisons because he is a member of the Tokonatsu clan. Because of his resistance, Touwa can heal from wounds caused by biological poisons or toxins more quickly. Biological poisons or toxins require a dosage increase of one to become effective.
[break][break]
竑 | Kou [lit. Endless]
[break][break]
Touwa possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to his peers. This advantage enables him to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting his chakra, granting him a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, he can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within his rank.

Tokonatsu Kaoru

Another team meeting, Kaoru had participated in several of these in his time as a Genin, with each time folding or splintering soon enough. Though at least this time he supposed it was a positive sign that they had a senior shinobi as the team leader, unlike the last time he had been assigned to. Still, the redhead wasn't super enthusiastic about the whole situation, and after his morning exercise routine he took his time to clean himself up, and then stopping to get a hot drink on his way to the Garden where he had been told to go.

This made him easily the last member to show up, the tinkling bells in his hair the first indication of his presence even before he could be spotted. Unlike Touwa's much more proper and appropriate approach, Kaoru sauntered to the trio before him, looking from Tadashi to Touwa as he raised an eyebrow at the dark haired boy, before turning to look at the third person that was unknown to him. 

Young, but definitely older, taller too, with heavy layers of clothing that seemed like they would be sweltering in the usual humid heat of the village. Endurance type of person? Maybe something special about the clothes. Hard to say.

With a mental shrug he stood casually around the others and took a loud slurping sip from his drink.
