I know the title seems a little unclear, but this is an open post to konoha squad-less Genins. Reply is best to be above 500 words and must be active to reply. <-not my requirements. Also who thinks this is going to be open forever? lol, I will wait maximum one week for reply, but more likely I am going to wait for 3 or 4 days.
After a long period of peace and quiet following the last great war, where the hidden village of Konoha was able to stand on its own and avoided the fate of being swiped away by otherworldly foe, there was a long period of peace and resting for the hidden leaf. But as most of the veterans of the previous generation withdraw back to behind the curtain, and hidden away from the public view, with some disappearing into legends and others moving away to another village, for the time being, the position of combat units in Konoha seems to be filled by new Genin who are inexperienced in fights. With missions previously reserved for more experienced Ninjas now regularly going over to new Academy graduates, acting alone and without a team. The previous standard four people squad seems to be non-existent in Konoha for the moment, and it was okay since the village life in Konoha was peaceful and without any obvious publicly known threats for a very long period of time.
There are still conflicts happening around other parts of the world, but for the most part, the hidden leaf seems to be left out from the battles for the time being, and as the village of Konoha seems to be buzz with life once again, and with new Genins running around randomly taking on missions and training and exploring the outward land, like a great old tree, the hidden village of Konoha seems to be spreading out some new leafs on its branch, spreading out and starting to grow again.
But not everything was all rainbow and sunshine in Konoha, as it would have let people believed on the outside, rumor has it that something was happening behind the scene, that even caught some of the veterans' attention. With some of the previous legendary Ninjas returning back to Konoha after a long period of time of absences, and with some of the existing experienced Ninjas suddenly went missing or being send off to long term secret missions to another village, there was a little bit of uneasiness among some of the older Ninja population, who knows just a little bit more than the younger generation, but they are keeping it quiet for the sake of maintaining and reserving the blissfulness that Konoha currently has.
As far as new Genins are concerned, toady was a pretty good Saturday morning, with great weather, great sunshine and warm and comfortable wind.
Shihai has just finished sending off massive letters to the new Genins (copied off mailing address from a phone book, no doubt most of it will went straight to spam) by a way of message birds, sharing a rumor that she has overhead from one of the Ramen stands and asking for their help to capture a Sannin. Back up a bit, when Shihai was returning from her last mission, and got hungry and dashed into the market place for a bowl of ramen, she accidentally overheard the customers beside her talking about the appearance of a legendary Ninja goes by the name of Rippa or Rappa or something like that, stating that the last sighting of the white hair Ninja was somewhere around the Saints Compound very near the market place, and that something about the Sannin was thinking about taking in students? (it was a rumor) and that he would likely still hang around there from time to time.
Shihai's eyes lighten up at that, she knows that some of the legendary ninjas are starting to take on students now, first it was Kenta of the Inuzuka clan, then Amaya Uchiha, (read about them in reports here and there) some of her follow classmates are fortunate enough to find themselves a sensei already. Shihai had hopped to find this phantom Ninja in question and asked to be taken in as a student, but first she need to find him first. So she has spend a good part of last night writing up junk mail...I meant...extremely informative mails to other Genin, asking everybody to be on watch out for the phantom Ninja with white hair. Hopefully with so many people on watch out they could capture it...wait what...?
Anyway, she headed out to the Saint Compound as soon as she finished sending out the last of the message birds, and hopefully some of them didn't went to spam. Running fast, Shihai stopped in front of the iconic giant stone, of the Saint's Compound, but find that no one else was there yet, she seems to be the first one to get to this place. The phantom Ninja was also no where to be seen. Considering between shouted out to the sky on the off chance that he was here and she just hasn't seen him, and getting his attention this way, or hiding somewhere to watch for anyone coming over this way, she decided on the latter and hides in the shadows of one of the oak trees.
If later on someone else would come by, she would come out of hiding and attempts to convince them to go on this ghost hunt with her, or if the Phantom Ninja comes by, she could try to convince him to take on students.
