Yojinoka Saburo || Chuunin || 3 Stat Trainings || 75 Renown

Shibata Taro - Genin, 0 Stat Trainings, 18 Renown

<r>Saburo nodded again. It was very much possible that he had been out of the circuit of mission-taking for too long at this point. He was probably a little rusty at it, too. So, an invitation to sparring seemed right up the alley that Saburo was looking for. If he was going to try joining up with M...

<r>Saburo nodded along with his friend as he himself drank in some more of his tea. The Genin years were certainly amazing and, on the other side, they had found themselves as the best of friends. Even after the recent invasion, the Chuunin felt that his sister would need that kind of support as she...

<r>This was embarrassing.<br/> <br/> Before he even knew what ahd happened, Saburo was strung up by his legs from one of the nearby trees. Was it a trap? He should have realized before that there would be more to it than following a trail. He was so stupid; of course someone being pursued would leav...

<r>Saburo accepted the cup of tea happily, but decided to let it sit as it seemed to still be too hot for drink. Instead, he had the subject of his family to discuss. Oddly, it was something that hadn't seen many changes in the more recent days.<br/> <br/> <B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[c...

<r>It was a nice surprise to see a small dog jump the nearby grass nip at the heels of the pairs. Saburo smiled and laughed as it ran off to his companion and on down the road. It was a cute little thing; full of energy like any puppy would be. Why was it looking at them like that, though? Did it st...

<r>Saburo nodded as his friend briefly explained the Mamorinuku. It made sense. They were essentially just a large, focused team. They were the de facto protectors of the Leaf, as well. Seemed sensible enough that he could join up with them. He nodded again as Kuodachi brought up the still-recent at...

<r><B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s>"Sure do,"<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B> replied Saburo in a happy chime. He then stopped and pointed his finger in what was nothing more than a random direction. <B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s>"S...

<r>A sweet aroma was already beginning to waft through the house as his friend returned. It certainly set a relaxing mood for a meeting between old team-mates. It really had been too long. It was also good to know that he had not been entirely forgotten. He understood how busy his friend must have b...

<r>The Chuunin smiled to the approaching ninja and nodded. <B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s>"I sure am! You're here for Mamorinuku?"<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B> Before the response, he reached out with his right hand, seeking a handshake. Something seemed famil...

<t>He did it; Saburo had made it into the Mamorinuku exercise. If he could ace this examination, he would be cleared to join the organization. This was another big day for him, and one that could shape his career from here out. But, he couldn't let himself get overexcited. This was a scenario missio...

<r>It really was a nice home now that Saburo had got the chance to see inside it. There was a good arrangement of furniture, and it seemed to have everything that was necessary for someone to live. It was still a surprise to him to see his best friend living on his own already when they were so clos...

<r>So he did live here, and he looked no different for it all. That for a start was good for settling the Chuunin's mind. He looked down almost with surprise when he say his friend sending a hand to him. Of course! They had gone through with the coded handshake. What was it again? Oh right.<br/> <br...

<t>There was a one fact that was very clear to Saburo today: he hadn't gone to visit his friend, Kuodachi, in the longest time. Granted, they both had their own responsibilities as Chuunin. Even more, Kuodachi had joined up with the Mamorinuku, most likely giving him work on top of the usual load. A...

<r>Had he really fallen asleep? It felt like it had only been a few minutes since he had closed his eyes. He still felt that small tinge of grogginess, so he must have just had a nap of some kind. It looked like his team was finally arriving, though. Only two of the three so far. He stood up as they...

<t>It was a clear - if somewhat cloudy - morning in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. A light rain from before the sunrise had just ended, and Saburo had found his way to the training ground that he had come to many times over the last few years. Here wasn't here for training today, though; as it wo...

*checks with hope in his heart*

*somewhat disappointed*

Kidoumaru is the closest, of all people.

<r>It still hurt each moment that passed. His only family left in the entire world, and she had abandoned him so easily. He didn't even know why. Taro was nothing but a tool for her in the end.<br/> <br/> The boy only partially recognized the words coming from Senji. They were words of comfort; word...

<r>So it was up to Saburo to figure out the particulars of how hard he was going to fight. To be fair, soft contact at the least was preferred for this. But what about his speed? Chances were, he faster than this Genin by leaps and bounds. That could be a challenge for him; a chance to learn to comb...

<r>The first move was her's, as would be expected. However, the movements felt a little stiff and Masaru could see it coming from the first step. Maybe she was rusty; then again, he may have improved in ability. Either way, a quick step back was all it took to avoid the short blade of her opening at...

<r>Missing ninja. Those words rang the loudest in Taro's ears when they were spoken. That just couldn't be right; there was no way. His sister had taken him from the Village for a Chuunin Exam. Not... This. The soft look in Senji's eyes proved he was telling the truth, though. It wasn't almost numbi...

<r><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"That's the spirit."<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Saburo's smile returned as he truly enjoyed a chance to spar with another Shinobi. As Gene's hand dropped to his leg, the Chuunin took notice of the holster; it seemed the Geni...

<r>If the hand stopping him didn't worry him, it was the words spoken by the Shinobi that ran a chill down his spine. He was going to be found out. It was almost certain now. He turned back to Senji and tried to look him in the eyes. Could he fight his way out of this? No; he wasn't great at combat....

<r>It seemed she really had to think on that. She must have, given her silence and the look on her face. But, his friend pulled through and selected something he knew he could excel at. On the other hand, she also suggested some unarmed practice; that particularly was not his strong suit. Nowhere ne...

<r>Today, Masaru had what was akin to the honor of having the whole of the Igarashi household to himself. His parents - both being Jounin - of course had business of their own to handle, and being a boy of fourteen years, the Genin was seen fit to not need the supervision of any of his relatives. It...

Blood and Spikes.

The most useless Enchanted Sword ever!

<r>From the moment the boy's eyes were set on him, Saburo could almost tell he was being sized up. The way those auburn eyes looked straight to his jacket seemed to make that intent clear. It almost reminded him of Kuodachi; that guy was always looking to get the most out of the small details. He se...

<r>This was honestly an transitional period in Saburo's life. For all intents and purposes, passing his Chuunin Exams only recently meant he ranked among the Chuunin of the Village. However, it seemed that he hadn't held that title long enough to be given the responsibilities of a Chuunin at this po...

<r>No! Had he been found out? Why was this boy looking for him?<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"What? No! You've got the wrong guy."<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR> He punctuated his words with a denying wave of his hands. <COLOR color="yellowgreen...

<r>So, that was my the traveler seemed so small; because he was. By the voice, it seemed he was just another child on the road such as him! That was both a relief and a worry to the boy. On the one hand, it would be someone he could interact with that much more easily. On the other, he worried about...

<t>Sitting at the tree - while a good rest - seemed to leave him staring straight into the endless 'sea' of grass. While Taro really had seen all that much of the world, he somehow felt that this was the most boring place in his travels. One of the places he's seen would have to be, at least. How mu...

<t>It was a nice, somewhat warm evening that saw the young boy Taro walking along the road. To the left, he only saw grass; to his right, the same. If he had remembered the map correctly, he was walking in the direction of his homeland. He found himself wondering what was happening back home. It see...

<t>As soon as he was starting to feel safe again, the sound of his earthen wall blowing apart gave him only the smallest warning before some force sprawled him back to the ground a second time. It didn't help that the first strike had left him to weak to resist, or keep a hold on his shuriken. With ...

<r>He had almost not realized what had happened until only moments after. One second, he had just completed his Jutsu in an attempt to constrain the Chuunin and now he found himself sprawled on the ground with pain coursing through his entire body. His head was swimming but he seemed to understand w...

<r>It looked like things were going to work out! While his shuriken were understandably knocked from the air by the Hyuuga's own, it seemed to help to put her off-balance while Kazuo contributed kunai of his own to the distraction. There was an awkward glow to her skin, though; blue, like Chakra. He...

<t>Saburo had the unfortunate surprise of taking a scratch to his side from that arrow. That's what he got for rushing, at least. There was nothing to be done about it, though, so it was better that he focused on the moment. Like how their initial probing attack had failed; even so much that the Chu...

<t>For a moment, Saburo felt a bit left-in-the-cold in terms of team planning. It was fine, though; tactics obviously wasn't his strong suit at this point. Especially when he had Kuodachi's critical eye to help him today. He would try his best to keep to his friend's strategy. To being a Chuunin.<br...

<r>One last breath left Saburo slightly more refreshed, and he could stand back up to face the third on their team. An Inuzuka, though? That was exciting! It was odd how he had gotten to this point without really meeting anyone from the Clans of Konoha. He even had the dog! Saburo was a little surpr...

<r><SPOILER title="OoC"><s>[spoiler=OoC]</s>Very sorry! This week has been the worst, but let's hope that's behind me now. Kinda embarrassed to time on the Exam I pushed so hard for. -_-<e>[/spoiler]</e></SPOILER> Saburo was late! How late was he? After he woke up remembering that he had to be prese...
