Mitsuko shuffled out onto the roof behind her two new teammates and made her way to the railing. Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened in awe as she looked out over the edge.
"Wow..." she whispered to herself. The sight before her left her absolutely speechless! She had never seen the village from such a high point before.
"Konoha really is beautiful," she heard Fuyu say.
"It really is... It's no wonder so many people fought with their lives to protect it." Hanae replied.
Mitsuko grabbed onto the railing and stepped onto the first rung. Leaning out slightly, she took in a deep breath and let the breeze wash over her. She had never felt as peaceful or as carefree as she did now, standing above the village that she loved so much.
"Hm..." she began, closing her eyes and tilting her head towards the sky. "I can't wait until I can fight to protect it, too."

"Take a good look at the Village you see before you," Miyoko told her team, coming up behind them to where she could see as well. "For what you see is Hidden Leaf Village. It is more than a place, more than any words can describe. Before you lies your home, your family, your heart. Take a good look at the Hokage monument," she told them as she gestured to the nine faces formed out of the mountainside, "and listen well. From the First Hokage all those many years ago, to the late Ninth Hokage, to the Tenth today - these great leaders and every Leaf Shinobi who has, does, or will fight under their command lives on in the hearts of every single person who has the honor of wearing a Konoha forehead protector. "Take a good look at the village before you," she continued, turning back to the village sprawled out below, "and know that this is what it means to be a Shinobi of Konoha. To fight not only for ourselves, but for our Village, and - most importantly - for each other. To give our very lives to protect that which is most important to us should the need come, and to live our lives until that day to the very best we can, for everyone. That is the Will of Fire that lives in each of us, uniting all the people of Konoha - past, present, and future - into one family. " That is what it means to be a Shinobi of Konoha. Are you ready?"

Fuyu turned around from the railing so he could face his new sensei.
"Well... I don't know exactly what I can do... but I guess thats just what makes the future all the more exciting" he said with a smile. As the wind gusted again, he brsuhed his hair out of his face with one hand, and took his brand new forehead protector out of his pocket. He stared at it oddly for a moment, as if he wasn't quite sure what to do with it. He let out a small chuckle, and tied it around his forehead.
"I don't know whats in store for us, but I'm excited for it. And I know whatever it is, we can handle it together!" He finished the scentence by tugging his knot tight and letting a smile completely overtake his face.

Mitsuko climbed down from the railing faced her new sensei.
"I am!" she answered confidently, straightening her posture and holding her head up a little higher. "I'm ready!"

"Me too!" declared Hanae, turning with her team to face Miyoko-sensei. "I know it won't be easy, but nothing worth fighting for is! I'll give it my all!" Miyoko nodded, smiling warmly at her new students. "Just what I'd hoped you'd say. Come on, let's sit down." Leading them to a clear spot on the rooftop, she seated herself and motioned for the three Genin to do so as well. "My Sensei took me here with my team on our very first day as Genin," she explained, "much the same way I've done for you. I've carried on the tradition with every team of mine in his honor. That day, Senichi, Kaori and I learned what it means to belong to the Leaf family, and I hope it stays with you as well. "Now, then!" she continued, clearing her throat. "Here we sit, overlooking the Village we all love so dearly. What better time or place to get to know each other a little better? "My name, as I've told you already, is Adabana Miyoko, and I am one of the senior Jounin of Konoha. Some know me as the Crimson Butterfly because of my jutsu, but that-" she told them with a wink- "you'll have to wait and see for yourself. I like Onsen, the color red, and I love sweets. I dislike, among other things, stuffy people. I grew up and worked with many of Konoha's prominent Shinobi, such as our very own Hokage-sama, and -" here she winked at Mitsuko- "Yanagawa Miyuki. "So now that you all know a little more about me, it's your turn. Tell us about yourselves! One at a time, of course."

Fuyu hopped up, and sat on top of the rail around the edge of the building, tucking his feet inbetween two lower rails.
"Well... I like Bonsai" he said with a smile. "I have three small bonsai in my room. I also like caligraphy, and I enjopy sweets as well I guess... I never really get many. I admire the kunoichi of our village. THey've always been an inspiration to me. I hope to be one too when I grow up."

When it was her turn, Hanae stood. "My name is Hyuuga Hanae," she told her new team, "and I'm the heiress to the Hyuuga clan. I'm working really hard to do my best for my Clan, and for Konoha, but I also want to find my own strength, too. I love training, reading, and doing ikebana. I don't like being bored or sitting around doing nothing. And I really don't like mean people." She made an odd expression of distaste here, squeezing her eyes shut and wrinkling her nose, before going back to her usual smile. "My dream is to be the best Kunoichi I can be, and also to find out the truth about something that happened to someone who's very special to me. That's... all.. for now, I guess." She looked around bashfully for a minute before sitting down, waiting for Mitsuko-chan to speak.

Mitsuko was now sitting on the roof, her back leaned against the railing, as she listened to her sensei and new teammates speak. Now it was her turn.
Blushing ever so slightly at the fact that all the attention was now on her, she spoke up. "Well, I don't really do much, but I like spending time with my family... And training, too." She paused for a moment, biting her bottom lip, trying to think of something else to say. "Um... I don't like people that pick on others for the sheer enjoyment of making them feel bad about themselves. I want to become the best Kunoichi I can be, and prove that I'm not as weak and incapable as most people think I am."
She looked around at her teammates, and then at her sensei, a bright smile spread across her gentle face. "I'm so glad to finally be part of a team."

Miyoko looked her team up and down, measuring, an approving gleam in her eye. Three promising Genin, all willing to give it their all. And all three declaring a desire to be the best Kunoichi they could - including Fuyu-kun. This was going to be interesting. "Well, then!" she announced. "If none of you have anything else to share.... I suppose it's time to move on." Standing, the wild-looking Kunoichi moved to lean elegantly against the railing. "Take one last look at this view," she told them, "and cement its image into your mind. Whenever you're feeling discouraged, upset, or afraid, I want you to remember this image. This moment, the day we shared our dreams for the future. And, remembering that, remember what it is you stand for. Because once you do, you can overcome any obstacle." The wind picked up again, gusting across the rooftop as Miyoko smiled at her new students, imagining what possibilities lay before them. And as she did, she somehow knew that this would be one of her best teams yet. ((OoC: After this we'll move on, I promise! ^^))

"Well, then!" Miyoko-sensei said as she stood to her feet. "If none of you have anything else to share....I suppose it's time to move on."The Kunoichi leaned against the railing as she continued to speak. "Take one last look at this view and cement its image into your mind. Whenever you're feeling discouraged, upset, or afraid, I want you to remember this image. This moment, the day we shared our dreams for the future. And, remembering that, remember what it is you stand for. Because once you do, you can overcome any obstacle."
Mitsuko rose to her feet and turned to lean against the railing next to her new sensei. This experience was going to be amazing! She couldn't wait to start training with her new teammates.
OoC: I know this post is really dinky, but I wanted to go ahead and post something and keep the thread from dying. ^^; Sorry for its lameness!

Hanae stood to look out over the village that lay before them, soaking in her Sensei's words. I may not be able to do much now, she thought, but one day I'll be able to protect this village too! As the wind played with her long hair, she smiled at her teammates and at the village. Look out, Konoha, because Team 9 is here!((OoC: It's not dinky at all. I'm just glad someone posted! ^__^))

Fuyu hit his fist into his open hand and spun back towards the city. He took in the sight with a nod before he turned slowly to take in his new team again.
Team 9... I've been waiting for this day. And with their help, I'll prove what an excellent shinobi I can become. Even if I have to beat it into the minds and souls of everyone who doubts me!

"Now, then," Miyoko told them after a moment, "Kaori has chosen me to keep things running in the village while she's gone, so unfortunately that means I have to get back to the office. I won't forget about you guys, though! Meet me at the fourth training area at six o'clock sharp - and do not eat dinner. If you have to eat, having a light snack is okay, but you'll make yourself sick if you eat too much right before working out. Until then, do whatever you like so long as you don't get in trouble. Dismissed!" And with that, she turned and headed back downstairs, leaving the three Genin to figure out themselves what to do next.

Mitsuko bowed slightly as they were dismissed. Turning to her two new teammates, she gulped nervously. "Um... What do we do now?" the young Yanagawa questioned as she twiddled the fabric of her skirt between her fingers.

As his new sensei gave them their instructions, Mitsuko turned to her new teammates. "Um... What do we do now?
"Well... you could all come over to my house for a little bit. I know my mother would love to meet you all."
