As Dengen appeared in the bottom of his favorite training area he noticed the kids looked a little off settling because of the fast and far out trip in such a short amount of time. Dengen replied to that miniature form of seasickness by saying, "Get used to that kids. Your sensai is a kuchiyose specialist, so expect me to summon upon any of you if needed. The effect of the summoning will be a lot faster then the body flicker so if you dont get used to that sickness now it might get worse later. Well that is, if there is a later..." Dengen dusted the old wooden sign in the bottom of the hill so that the shinobis could see.



Dengen tried to emphasize the the certain death part of the sign because he warned the three genins before joining the team. "It is not certain that you are in Team Alpha. The reason for that being because of this mountain here. If you three climb this mountain then you will be worthy of being taught by the Tsuchikage, if not, then ill just try my luck somewhere else. Failure to succeed will result in death because of the harsh climates while climbing the mountain as well as the unsuspected animals around the area, so if you want to back out now is the time to do it." Dengen looked around to see if any of the kids wanted out of what he said. "Good. Well climbing the mountain is not the only mission objective here. Of course this is not a race. Iwagakure has lived for generations competing with each other. Well im starting the first official team based system. I will be in the top of the mountain, but before getting their you three must learn a collaboration jutsu. I dont expect the technique to compete with the Ino Shika Cho trio but i believe you three have what it takes to become great. Any questions?"

OOC: Answer Arashi. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is a combination technique that has been around longer than Ino Shikamaru and Choji themselves. Its a generation thing so im pretty sure all Villages have hear of it, and if not all villages then Kage would at least have it Archived loll I know what i'm doing, No GODMODDING over here hahaa

[OOC: How the hell does Dengy know about the Ino-Shika_Cho? XD ]

Arashi felt being grabbed, probably by The Tuchikage. The next thing he knew; he was surrounded by mountains, one of which was directly in front of him. And he felt sick, pretty damn sick. But, Arashi didn't show it. He looked around, when Tsuchikage started talking.
"Get used to that kids. Your sensai is a kuchiyose specialist, so expect me to summon upon any of you if needed. The effect of the summoning will be a lot faster then the body flicker so if you don't get used to that sickness now it might get worse later. Well that is, if there is a later..."
Het hen cleared the dust from a wooden sign just near him. Arashi scanned the sign, it said something like:

The highest mountain in Earth Country, this monstrosity lies beyond Iwagakure's official border, but is widely recognized as Iwa's territory. To climb this mountain would be certain death for anybody under Chuunin, which makes it a popular training location for up-and-comers.

"It is not certain that you are in Team Alpha. The reason for that being because of this mountain here. If you three climb this mountain then you will be worthy of being taught by the Tsuchikage, if not, then ill just try my luck somewhere else. Failure to succeed will result in death because of the harsh climates while climbing the mountain as well as the unsuspected animals around the area, so if you want to back out now is the time to do it. {Arashi didn't say anything.} Good. Well climbing the mountain is not the only mission objective here. Of course this is not a race. Iwagakure has lived for generations competing with each other. Well im starting the first official team based system. I will be in the top of the mountain, but before getting their you three must learn a collaboration jutsu. I dont expect the technique to compete with the Ino Shika Cho trio but i believe you three have what it takes to become great. Any questions?"

Arashi decided to open his mouth. (I'll keep my color. I had orange first.)
"I have a question. Sir, could you tell me your name?"
Arashi's voice was gentle as always, with a slight tone of "sickery", as he still hasn't recovered from the Body Flicker. Though, Arashi was already a bit more comfortable around his Kage, he just stopped talking to him with that much respect, it started to feel like the Kage and Dengen were... Friends, let's say. They met quite a few times already.

"I see. So since you are the least nervous to talk around me i shall make you the first acting captain to the team. Just know that this is also not a permanent position because you have to play the part in order to keep it. In order to be a great captain you must show leadership and respect to your teammates a lot more then just strength itself. I do not know if you have those qualities but i will find out, and the reason i chose you is because i know you wont be afraid to tell speak to me as Tsuchikage in intense situations. {Dengen looked around as the other two were still quite and sickly looking. Then he turned back towards Arashi.} My name is Dengen Sanroku. I am the founding father of the Sanroku Clan. I see that I didnt give you a proper introduction when we first met. How rude of me. As you may know i am the Rokudaime Tsuchikage, meaning the Sixth. I am 33 years old and this..."

Dengen didn't need to make any hand signs or movement for that matter as his guardian appeared at his right side looking down at the genins. Ema cut Dengen off where he spoke and began to speak himself.

"I am EMA the Prince of the Apes and the Guardian to the Tsuchikage."

Dengen took a deep breath when he began to say,
"Yea that. He is my main summon and i was raised with him. As big as he may talk about his age and how old and wise he is, please do not believe him. He was only born 7 years before me."

Ema turned and replied as he growled angrily
"I am wise! Wiser then you at the least! If it wasn't for me you would have been dead countless times and even when you..."

The Dengen got mad as he had to quite Ema up. The two were face to face almost forgetting that the geins were around.
"QUITE! Ema please. Do you always have to have something to say when you are summoned? I just wanted to show you to these kids so that they could see what i am about!"

Ema then turned to look at the kids.
"What is so special about these kids? Kind of odd looking if you ask me. You got a red hed, a bare foor and an albino. Are you running a circus here Tsuchikage?"

Dengen really got angry as he screamed out.
"Ema! I won't let you insult my Team!"

"Oh so this is your team. {Ema said calmly and with curiosity. Then he flipped his demeanor and yelled out} You call this a team!"

The fight went on as they argued angrily. For the first time Dengen was seen in a different light then what people are used to seeing. Dengen is known as a serious man and barely even speaks let alone show his emotions and yet here he was arguing with Ema. The reason for this is because Ema and Dengen were raised together, being 7 years old when he was chosen by a divine force to be the guardian of a new born Dengen, they viewed their relationship like that of a brother. Ema seems to bring the kid out of Dengen as well as the best side out of him during a battle. Then Dengen had enough of Ema's little game and Dengen said,

"You know what Ema go back home you damn dirty ape!"

Ema looked relived as he smiled and said "Finally! Thought you'll never ask. {He then turned towards the Genins and before disappearing he said} Bye Kids. {and waved}"

As the cloud of smoke dispersed Dengen gave himself a quick facepalm because he found out that the reason Ema did this whole show was because he wanted to leave. He did it on purpose.
"God. That monkey is unbelievable. Any other questions before you head out?"

"I see. So since you are the least nervous to talk around me i shall make you the first acting captain to the team. Just know that this is also not a permanent position because you have to play the part in order to keep it. In order to be a great captain you must show leadership and respect to your teammates a lot more then just strength itself. I do not know if you have those qualities but i will find out, and the reason i chose you is because i know you wont be afraid to tell speak to me as Tsuchikage in intense situations. {Dengen looked around as the other two were still quite and sickly looking. Then he turned back towards Arashi.} My name is Dengen Sanroku. I am the founding father of the Sanroku Clan. I see that I didnt give you a proper introduction when we first met. How rude of me. As you may know i am the Rokudaime Tsuchikage, meaning the Sixth. I am 33 years old and this..."
T... Team captain? I don't believe it. I will do my best! Arashi would say his though out loud, but it would be mighty rude of him to interrupt his Kage, so he listened with a determined smile on his face, until... An ape appeared just by Dengen's side. What? An Ape? The ape opened his mouth.
"I am EMA the Prince of the Apes and the Guardian to the Tsuchikage."
"Yea that. He is my main summon and i was raised with him. As big as he may talk about his age and how old and wise he is, please do not believe him. He was only born 7 years before me."
Ema's voice was angry this sentence, like he was growling.
"I am wise! Wiser then you at the least! If it wasn't for me you would have been dead countless times and even when you..."
Arashi looked at the two, they seemed like a fight would break out at any moment. A smile appeared on Ara's face. This is getting pretty interesting.
"QUITE! Ema please. Do you always have to have something to say when you are summoned? I just wanted to show you to these kids so that they could see what i am about!"
Ema then looked at the kids.
"What is so special about these kids? Kind of odd looking if you ask me. You got a red head, a bare foot and an albino. Are you running a circus here Tsuchikage?"
A... Circus? Stupid monkey, you are the one who cjust came out of a circus. And what's wrong with red hair? I'm proud of my Nekomotze roots! Arashi was just about to say that out loud, but it would be a tad bit to rude. Didn't want to offend somebody that seemed like Dengen's... Best friend of some sorts?
"Ema! I won't let you insult my Team!"
Dengen's voice was loud and angry. I never saw him like this. This Ema really got to him.
"Oh so this is your team. {Ema said calmly and with curiosity. Then he flipped his demeanor and yelled out} You call this a team!"
The pair continued fighting for quite some time, while Arashi stood perfectly still. Observing, and laughing every once in a while if somebody said something funny.
"You know what Ema go back home you damn dirty ape!"
"Finally! Thought you'll never ask. {He then turned towards the Genins and before disappearing he said} Bye Kids. {and waved}"
"God. That monkey is unbelievable. Any other questions before you head out?"
Arashi didn't have any questions. He was still chuckling a bit, as he looked at the other genins.

With the arivel of the Tsucikage and his tag along, Tatakai got to learn a few thing. First was that he was now put on a team with Takumi, which lead to the second, and his red headed opponent Arashi. The name, Team Alfa, was not all that bad either after all Tatakai kind of liked the sound of it. It fit perfectly to what the Tsuchikage wanted to do. First, the beginning, the translations spoke deeply and Tatakai was not one to disappoint he would do his best to make the spoken words true. He did not really have time to answer the question Dengen had asked about the Itomi Mountains before he felt the rush of and pull that took him from the stadium to the mountains base.

To others it might have made them sick but with Tatakai it was enthralling with the amount of distance covered in so little time even if it was slightly disorienting. He stood and listened as the Kage spoke and at having been told that the three would have to create a collaboration technique his mind already went to work mulling over the things that he could do, still he had the others to to work into the jutsu's he thought of. But he knew an ending to at least one. The Gale force F-Bomb down into some one else's attack that would and could decapitate some one. But the maneuver was still an untested ploy within his own head, could it really work? Tatakais musing made him completely space out, that is until he heard word that Arashi was the new though acting team captain.

Damn, it pissed him off a little but he would let the anger simmer as he focused it into something productive. Into his own self his focused delved to the beat and flow of his chakra system. Oh he wanted to get just a little bit of revenge on Arashi. His clan was masters of their chakra pathway system and Tatakai was no exception. feeling its flow within him he would focus on projecting it our of his body.As he raised a hand he would focus on forcing the flow of the technique up through his body. The strike starting with his system to travel up through his body in a gentle flow that seemed to acquire more and more chakra as it sped through his system. His elbow would be the point of expulsion and would aim at Arashi as Tatakai hid the assault by moving to interlace his hands behind his head. How ever the technique was not yet ready for as he launched the chakra all it did was diffuse into the already tight muscles of his arm, instantly cramping the bicep and triceps of the arm. The pain causing his eyes to widen as he winced a bit at the initial shock of the muscles tightening and bunching up. Lowering his arms he would try and stretch out the muscles. It would be around this time that Dengen's summon had called him a bare foot.

"Are you not, bare footed yourself?",Tatakai spoke but before he could get an answer Ema had gone and vanished once more. Tatakai liked being bare foot, it mad him more in touch with the ground and his callused feet protected him just as much as shoes would have had.

Working his arm up and down past the cramp he really had nothing to ask of the Tsuchikage but to the others he would speak," I am Tatakai, of the Sento Clan. We are a clan that loves to fight and our roots might not go as far back as other clans but that has not stopped us yet. As a Sento my gift is that of Qigong, mastery of the chakra pathway system. Through training it provides both an offense and a defense that others find shocking when unleashed. I am also proficient in Taijutsu with it being focused to Muay Thai. The wind is my nature and lightning is my secondary. The one thing I dislike is when people talk to much while fighting." Giving a nod to Arashi," For its disrespectful to me to not put one's whole focus into a fight and being able to chit chat shows that you are not focusing on it and thus not giving your all. I love the rush of combat and the challenge of it is what drives me. I am all ways up for a spar." then looking at Arashi," Or a rematch..." Letting his final words settle he would be quiet.

[769 words]

Takumi had recovered from the summon a little quicker than his teammate tatakai being a summoner himself it did not bother him as much. But he decided not to speak yet. But when that monkey said he was a albino he almost blew his top. He said "Sir since we are making collaboration moves how about we make one for my wolf summon". He looked at Ara and said "Seems like we are in for some fun huh".

Dengen was happy to see that the kids were communicating early on, and that was a good sign of the great teamwork between the trinity that Dengen predicts will come. The Rokudaime was more then glad to hear them share ideas and introduce themselves to each other but then he needed to get down to business. The last thing Dengen wanted was to interrupt the connection between his new found team but reality must step in at times.

"Alright Genin. There will be a lot of time to talk about the technique you wish to create while climbing the Mountain but I also have one more mission for you three. Climbing the mountain is a long way up, only skilled chuunin ranked and higher shinobis have climbed this mountain with an exception of me and my team who climbed it at a young age as well. If you climb this while enhancing either your fighting style or your element then you will be worthy of being my students. This is not only a "Do or Die" situation, but it is also a training session. You are all new to each others style of fighting so creating a collaboration jutsu will need the witnessing of each others fighting style or element. I ask a lot from you guys; but the reason i chose you three to join my team is because i believe you three are capable."

Dengen then noticed as the kids looked awfully proud to be in the position that they were in and eager as much to start. The Rokudaime Tsuchikage didnt want to be the one to hold them back so he said, "Alright then, I dont want to keep you waiting. I repeat, i will meat you on top of the mountain. Do not disappoint me. GO!" As soon as he finished his sentence Dengen disappeared the same way he came, with the body flicker technique and in an instant.

{EXIT thread. Starting my own path to the top of the Mountain}

[OOC: Dengy, one thing. I already planned to train my Elements and Specialties during this fight, and (I'm stupid) asked Kenta if we can train stuff in a thread that isn't [Training]. She said no, and that it's against the rules to even change the title of the topic to [Training] after it has been started. So, yeah. I don't think we'll be allowed to train...]

The white-haired-guy then spoke.
"I am Tatakai, of the Sento Clan. We are a clan that loves to fight and our roots might not go as far back as other clans but that has not stopped us yet. As a Sento my gift is that of Qigong, mastery of the chakra pathway system. Through training it provides both an offense and a defense that others find shocking when unleashed. I am also proficient in Taijutsu with it being focused to Muay Thai. The wind is my nature and lightning is my secondary. The one thing I dislike is when people talk to much while fighting."
Tatakai nodded to Arashi. Oh, so he doesn't like talking. That explains a few things... Arashi smiled.
"For its disrespectful to me to not put one's whole focus into a fight and being able to chit chat shows that you are not focusing on it and thus not giving your all. I love the rush of combat and the challenge of it is what drives me. I am all ways up for a spar."
He then looked at Arashi.
"Or a rematch..."
Arashi looked at the guy, as he stopped speaking.
Arashi looked at Takumi, who opened his mouth as well.
"Seems like we are in for some fun, huh.".
"Yeah!"
Arashi still had a smile on his face, as Dengen spoke once again.
"Alright Genin. There will be a lot of time to talk about the technique you wish to create while climbing the Mountain but I also have one more mission for you three. Climbing the mountain is a long way up, only skilled chuunin ranked and higher shinobis have climbed this mountain with an exception of me and my team who climbed it at a young age as well.

I ask a lot from you guys; but the reason i chose you three to join my team is because i believe you three are capable. Alright then, I dont want to keep you waiting. I repeat, i will meat you on top of the mountain. Do not disappoint me. GO!"
Do not disappoint me? Heheh, you underestimate us Dengen! There's no way in hell we'll disappoint you! At least I won't, I think... That being said, another puff of smoke appeared, with Dengen being gone. As soon as Arashi heard the word "GO" he jumped towards the mountain, full speed. Ara grabbed on to the rocks, and felt a little pain as the rocks were sharp, but it was okay. Arashi started climbing. Left hand - left leg. Right hand right leg. Left hand left leg. Right hand right leg. He was making progress quite slow, actually, he was only couple of meters from his starting point. That was mostly becasue he was thinking of this "Cooperation" technique. Takumi is a Senju, they are... Wood users, or something? Yeah, I think they are. And Tatakai is Senpa...Santu...Sento? Yeah, soemthing like that. He's a chakra flow and taijutsu specialist, just like me, but I think he focuses on Chakra Flow more. Maybe if... Taku bind the opponent's legs with roots or something, then Tatakai would launch the opponent in the air with that technique he used against me earlier, and I would go finish the opponent in mid-air? Maybe, but needs a lot more work... Arashi opened his mouth, speaking to his team, even if he was not sure are they climbing or not.
"First things first. Dengen made me the captain, I'm not sure why but he did. Now, I won't boss you around and give you orders and pretend that I'm better than you, as I believe we are all equal. Now, you guys wannna start talking about that technique now or later, when we actually reach a flat ground where we can train it?"
Arashi's voice was cheerful, but a bit serious as well.

Taku looked at Ara and said "I think we can talk about it as we walk to a wider spot then train it there". Takumi them looked at tatakai and said "What do you think about that". He looked at both of his teammates while awaiting his answer.
