A New Ninja Appears, Enter Ninaka Inuzuka.

[Ninaka Inuzuka]

" Blue I swear I'm going to go crazy." Ninaka said throwing her hands up into the air. Blue braked as if telling her clam down. Ninaka sighed placing her hands behind her head while Looking off to side she said.
" But I know you hate it just as much as i do when there no one to talk to ." Blue didn't say anything but she did just kept on walking next to Ninaka.

" Hey mom look at the Doggy, I want a doggy like that." Said a small child that was tagging on his mother skirt. Ninaka smiled to herself. Blue was one of kind... I mean come on not many dogs have blue fur.
Ninaka had to laugh a bit at blue's face when Blue heard the small child.

" Come on Blue lets get something to eat." Ninaka said beginning to walk into the Raman shop. Blue gave a small growl to the child, Scaring him sense-less because of her Teeth. With a happy grin on her face, Blue walked into the Raman shop and plopped down on the floor next to Ninaka.Ninaka, who had already ordered for her and Blue, Rested her pale face in the palms of her hands, her elbows holding her head up.

" You know Blue."Ninaka started getting blues to look up at her from the conner of her eye.

" I wish something would happen, I mean... After I finale get out of the academy. I'm stuck here in the village. When i should be out doing mission and such." Ninaka sighed. Blue sat up and braked.Ninaka smiled abit, Blue was right Ninaka was just going to have to wait.

" yeah, I guess your right blue.. I'm just going to have to wait." She said as two bowl of Raman were placed in front of her. She picked on up and sat down on the floor in front of blue. Ninaka quickly then began to eat her own bowl and after just a few moments she finished and placed the money for it on the table. Hoping down from her seat, She waited a bit for blue to finish her meal.

[Tensei Kaori]

"This one! This one! There it is!" came a sudden, enthusiastic male voice from outside the shop. He sounded quite excited to be there. "All right!" exclaimed a second, though it sounded almost exactly like the first. "I love this place!" "Will you two be quiet?" sighed a third voice. This one, though female, carried the same musical tones as the first two. "You're disturbing the other customers."

With that, the three entered the shop with their two friends. The three who had spoken were identified easily enough: the first could only be the one with the mischievous gleam in his eye and the flak jacket that had been unzipped to show off a bare, muscular chest; the second, the mirror image of the first except for his lack of flak jacket and the addition of a shirt, as well as the shoulder-length cut of his hair and an expression that made him appear to be eternally squinting; the third was, of course, the female, who looked like a female clone of the first two. Her long hair was held back by the large sunglasses she settled on top of her head like a headband.

"Aw, alright," sighed the first one, then suddenly noticed the shop's other occupants. "So, guys, it seems we're not alone," he said with a friendly grin. "Hello there!"

[Hatake Hiroshi]

Kane and Kyoko shuffled along with their triplet friends to the ramen shop for a nice bite to eat.

"So, guys, it seems we're not alone," they heard one of them annouce happily. Curious, the two Yanagawa peered around their comrades to look. A small girl sat nearby with her blue doggie companion, enjoying a meal.

Ah! Hiya! Kyoko squeaked, followed calmly by her twin brother. Good afternoon!

It took a bit of wandering, but Utsuro finally found his way back to the ramen stand. Apparently he was not the only one desiring lunch, as it was quite crowded. Not to mention, they seemed to be engaged in conversation.

Not wishing to disturb any of them, he slipped in quietly and took a seat towards the end of the counter, waiting for a time when the proprietor seemed the least busy.

[Tensei Kaori]

Daichi was the first to notice the newcomer. It was someone he didn't recognize, and the boy seemed somewhat lost, so the eldest of the Triplets excused himself and approached the young man.

"Hello there!" he said with a smile, leaning casually on the counter. "I haven't seen you around here before. You new here?"

[strangevisitor]

"Hello there!" he said with a smile, leaning casually on the counter. "I haven't seen you around here before. You new here?"

Apparently going unnoticed was NOT going to be Utsuro's primary shinobi skill. Looking from the corner of his eye, it was yet again someone his senior. Then again, that made a bit of sense. The children were probably all at the Academy at this time of day. Turning to face him, he began inspecting his shoes while he spoke.

"..h..hello..I just came to Konoha today..actually...."

[Tensei Kaori]

"Really? A newcomer, eh? In that case, welcome!" he said with a grin. "I'm Tensei Daichi. Pleased to meetcha!"

[strangevisitor]

"..t-thank you, Tensei-sama....my name is Utsuro.." He had never been welcomed somewhere before. It felt...nice. The barest traces of a smile crossed his lips.

[Tensei Kaori]

Daichi blinked. He wasn't used to being addressed so formally. "Whoa, whoa," he exclaimed with that eternally friendly tone. "I may be related to the Hokage, but that's no reason to call me Tensei-sama. My name's Daichi. Besides," he added, gesturing to the group with whom he had entered, "Things are gonna get awfully confusing if you call all of us by Surname. Over there are my siblings Hideko and Eiji and our friends, Yanagawa Kane and Kyoko. Hey guys!" he called. "Come say hi to the new kid in town!"

[strangevisitor]

"I may be related to the Hokage, but that's no reason to call me Tensei-sama." Utsuro paled. ..related to the Hokage...

"..g-gomen Daichi-sama!! ..I..I didn't know!" Swiftly bowing, he only succeeded in bringing his forehead into acquaintance with the stool next to him, which would not have hurt much, had he been wearing his protector. The sudden shift in balance, as well as the contact, caused him to fall off his own stool.

And to make matters worse, Daichi was calling over the others he had come in with.

[Tensei Kaori]

The next thing he knew, he turned around and the newcomer was on the floor. "Hey, whoa! Are you all right?" he asked, helping the stranger up. "And didn't I just say that that was no reason treat me any differently?" He grinned mischievously. "Being related to the Hokage doesn't make a person any kind of royalty or anything - and besides, the Tensei are a big clan. You'd be bowing to alot of people if you kept that 'Royalty' notion in your head."

Sighing, Hideko turned to the girl who had already been inside the shop when they appeared.

"Boys can be so noisy, can't they?" she asked with a laugh. "I apologize if they're bothering you."

[strangevisitor]

Rubbing the bump rising on his forehead, he gratefully accepted the assistance and sat back down, trying to decide what to appologize for first.

"Boys can be so noisy, can't they?" she asked with a laugh. "I apologize if they're bothering you."

Hearing this, Utsuro bristled almost imperceptibly. "...Forgive me for drawing you away from your friends, Daichi-sama...please, go enjoy their company. I did not wish to disturb anyone." Digging into a pocket, he turned to the proprietor, offering the paltry Ryu he had to his name.

"...Excuse me...what can I get with this?"

[Kiri]

Tap-tap. Tap-tap. Tap-tap.

The sounds continued at a liesurely tempo, like droplets of water falling onto stone.

Tap-tap. Tap-tap. Tap-tap.

Suddenly, out of nowhere and completely uninvited, a rather unceremonious rumble interrupted the comfortable rhythm.

Lunch, thought Tensei Hotaka as he made his way down the streets of Konoha, knowing better than to try to stand against his stomach's hungry whims. In spite of his stomachs demands, however, he did nothing to increase the speed of his lackadaisical gait. Now, what do I want?

Running his gaze lazily over the nearby shops, his slate blue eyes fell on the ramen stand. The ANBU was hardly feeling picky that afternoon; besides, one never knew who they would run into at Ichiraku. It was always an adventure, and if one was going to satisfy their hunger, they might as well have some fun while they were at it. Ramen it is, then, he decided.

Stepping inside, he paused to allow his eyes to adjust to the dimmer ambience; and for a moment with the light shining in from behind him, he looked marginally intimidating. He was tall and well-built, and his piercing eyes stared out from beneath a thick curtain of hair. The inky black strands were interrupted with color in only a few places, such as on the tips of the shinob's sideburns and a few stray strands in his bangs. The slightly menacing presence lasted only a second, however, completely banished as a wide grin spread across his face.

Heading over to the busy counter, he patted each Tensei triplet on the shoulder. "Hey, cousins!" he greeted easily, offering two hands for fivers (but only because he lacked a third). "Fancy meetin' you here."

[Tensei Kaori]

"TAKA!" Eiji practically shouted across the ramen stand. "How's it goin', man?" he asked, giving his cousin a double high-five. Having already been forgotten by his new acquaintance, Daichi sidled up next to his brother and nudged him out of the way to get his high-five. "Yeah, yeah!" he agreed, silky brown hair swaying as he nodded. "We need to freestyle again soon, eh?"

Hideko, having excused herself from the young girl's company to greet her cousin, came up to give her cousin a high-five at the same time as flipping her long hair over her shoulder. She said nothing, knowing very well how two particular boys in the company liked to go on about rhythm and beats, and decided to not risk interrupting them. The alluring Tensei chose instead to flash a winning smile before turning her attention back to Kane and Kyoko.

"Do you know our cousin, Hotaka?" she asked them. "I'm not sure if you guys have ever met..."

[Kiri]

"It's goin' alright," Hotaka answered with a laugh before nodding to Daichi. "Definitely! It's been a while since we did any 'stylin'," he replied, grinning mischievously and winking to Hideko as he high-fived her.

Pausing to take a look at the others gathered in the shop, he raised an interested eyebrow. "Lots of unfamiliar faces," he observed aloud to his two male cousins. "Seems like Konoha's getting a little more crowded every day...."
