From within the top floor of his parent's home the shinobi Mokuzai, Senju could be seen sharpening his scythe against a finely oiled whetstone he had purchased the day before for quite a fee, he was still protesting to himself over it's price but if it the praise the shop owner gave it was true, it would be well worth the cost down the line.  It didn't take long until he felt it was properly taken care of, he grabbed a piece of paper form his side and pushed it along the scythe's bladed tip and it tore through as smooth as butter causing a satisfactory grin to appear on the young Senju's face.

Mokuzai pushed himself off the ground with his scythe in hand and was about to put it away, today was a day he decided to relax for once and enjoy his youth while he was still young. But suddenly from just outside his window he could hear the sound of a bird, he quickly put his scythe against the wall and opened up his window to see a small bird there with a note attached to it's left leg, Mokuzai waves his hand so that the bird could jump on it before bringing the creature closer as he unfastened the note from it's left leg before giving it a boost as it flied back to where it came.

Now alone once more the Senju opened the note and found that it was a hokage summon which made him quite alert, the hokage himself had actually never made the attempt to summon him before so it must have been quite urgent. Mokuzai who had been in his boxers this whole time quickly throw on his white t-shirt and his black jacket with white trimmings around the hoodie, paired with standard chunin black pant's and finished it off with shinobi styled sandle's that reached slightly passed his ankle's, he then grabbed his scythe strapping it to his back before jumping right out his window and started making his way towards the hokage's office.

As he made his way to the hokage building he begun to wonder what was so important to summon him, he though perhaps it was a special mission or he would be sent to another village as a spy, he honestly didn't know but since he was deep in his mind by the time he stopped thinking about it he was already at the office. Mokuzai quickly made his way inside and started walking down the halls, it wasn't that busy beside's a few citizens and shinobi who he was sure had business affairs with the hokage the same he did. Within a few minutes he made it to the hokage's door and knocked only to hear a male's voice, "You may enter."

He begun to open the doors to his office, he would be meant with a single man with silver hair and deep blue eye's almost like the ocean, Mokuzai had never seen him before beside's a few photos and by name but seeing him in person was something else. As he entered in he would walk forward before bending down on one knee with his left fist closed and placed on the ground, "You summoned me Lord Hokage." Without looking directly at him the hokage would bring about three folder's and pushed it forward as he spoke, "Yes, i did. Starting from today as one of the village's few higher ranking shinobi, i am putting you in charge of a genin squad as their team leader. For now on you will report to me as the squad leader of Konohagakure's team 6."

Mokuzai looked up to his hokage with utter surprise, "A squad leader, Lord hokage, im i really qualified?!"  The hokage would finally glance up, "Rather or not your qualified is something you need to find out after you actually tried, now go. Your squad members have already been informed and are to meet you at the dense forest in a two hours, now go and good luck."

He felt like this was nothing more to say so he simply said, "Yes Lord hokage." and made his way out his office with heavy thought's.

WC:744

It was a cluttered room with black and white tiled floors with an old rusted cassette upon a single table that laid to the right of the only way out of the room that went upwards. Surrounding the table were some boxes with many different items that were slightly spaced out and six lockers with mirror doors a few inches away from the boxes and ending pressed against the far right wall corner. Right across on the opposite side of the room was a sleek white carriage with metal beam structures a few inches from the corners of the carriage and behind the box-like structure were some dark-wood bookshelves with more boxes with stuff inside spread about. Toys were in many spots throughout the room, but mainly on the wooden beams that were some inches from the roof. In the middle of the room a male about 5’8 sat in a red plush chair as he carefully worked on a small contraption of sort that’s suppose to dispense kunai quickly into his hand when he passed his hand over it, but at this point the teen may just put a fuuin seal over it and be done with it.

Kaito sighed and rubbed his head; at least it was just a side project and he can live without it. He took a look at the clock and decided to go back upstairs to have lunch; setting the contraption in one of the lockers Kaito did just that and went upstairs. He climbed the stairs up to the revolving door that was disguised as a giant picture of his father and pushed on it causing it to open slightly to let Kaito through and back into his room. Making sure to not bump into the no-side floor to ceiling shelf he walked out of his room and headed downstairs into the living room and directly to the kitchen across from the stairs. It was a simple beige and grey marble themed kitchen with a black fridge in the corner to the right of the doorway of the kitchen with a folding screen-door to a pantry in the far right and a sink right in the middle on the counters spanning from fridge to pantry door.

Kaito gave a big tired sigh as his right hand came halfway up to fail at covering his mouth to yawn and opening the fridge with his other hand. His eyes scanned the contents of the fridge not really registering them in his mind as he sleepily blinked to keep his eyes moist. He, for some reason - that was a lie he knew the reason and was just denying it at this point since he hasn’t gotten past that stage, stayed up all night doing research on gems and artifacts and what not for an item that may not even exist let alone he can even go after just so he wouldn’t get anxious from breaking out of that trend and get to go to sleep, but instead of making him feel better it just made the situation worse. Kaito finally decided to make a sandwich so he grabbed so bread and jam from the fridge and set it on the island table that was not too far from everything else in the kitchen and set to work. Then her heard some bird squabbling outside and opens the window across from the kitchen doorway to see one of his older doves fighting a pidgin and Kaito called the dove over to him, but she just sat in his hair.

Kaito felt the dove ruffle her feathers up some more when the pidgin landed on the window still, holding out its legs and its feathers a little ruffled as well. Once he carefully took away the message tied to the pidgins leg the flying rat set off to where it came from. Inside was a note from the Hokage about a team meeting, Kaito scanned the note once more as he memorized the place of meeting while also taking in the words bit by bit to make sure he wasn’t mistaken. A grin almost split his face open as he threw on his white suit and top hat and grabbing other items and ran off to the meeting place.  Kaito jumped from roof to roof as he tried to calm down his excitement, as a magician he understands the importance of not doing things alone – especially with his father’s assistance getting on in his age – and he just hopes his possibly future teammates understand the importance of teamwork.

The sun shinedown upon the village of the hidden leaf as the morning birds sing there way towards people houses and the roosters woke the rest of the village. It was a typical morning in konoha just like every other morning to anyone some people got ready for work; others got ready to go to school as others just woke up to walk around the village, meet with friends, go on dates, and so on. Isuma left arm covered his eyes as the sunlight passes threw his curtains beaming light into his face, He turn to his right so that the light wouldn't bother him as he looked around his room with a blurry vision. He would stay laying down for another minute or two until he decided that he was no longer tired nor sleepy, he would sit up on his bed which stood next to the window as he began to rub his eyes and let out a yawn. Isuma then decided to get up from his bed as he made his way towards his bathroom which was inside his room convient for him.

In the bathroom Isuma walked to the sink as he turn on the cold water as he began to splash water in his face and rub his eyes again as the feeling of lifeness left now he feels refresh and ready to get stuff done. Isume would pick up his toothbrush add toothpaste and begin to brush his teeth, for about 3 minutes once he was done he would spit out the toothpaste and rinse his mouth with water then spitting that out also. Isuma would walk back to his room and walk across from his bathroom into his closet as he open it and began to look for what to wear; after a moment of decision making I'm his head he pick up the clothing he wanted to use today and made it back to the bathroom. Isuma closed the door behind him as he began to take his close of then enter the shower and got ready scrubbing chest, legs, arms, back, face, and washing his hair this took about 15 minutes then he was done and began to get dress. Isuma first put his boxers on then began to put his brown and black jeans shorts with came with a two pouches, he than put his dual belt on which the first strap would be a bit thight for holding the pants the the other strap would be loose for appearance, from there Isuma began to wrap bandages around his legs and arms then put on a white sleeveless T-shirt and on top of that he put a black short-sleeve hoodie which had the symbol of the village writting into it around the bottom of the hoodie and in the back the Sarutobi Clan symbol. He then walked back to his room and sat on his bed and he put his ninja sandels on which stood next to his bed and on the night table next to his bed where wrist bands one for each wrist and he put does on, now he was ready for his day to start.

Isuma began to think in his head almost distracted by his own thoughts from his window he would head taps like if someone was behind the window so he decided to turn around and look directly at the window and noticed a messenger Bird. Isuma would get closer and open his window as the birn hops his way towards the edge of the window showing Isuma the little message on it's foot. Isuma took it of it's foot and the bird then flew away, Isuma looked at the letter as he notice it was from the hokage he wonder what it would have been but many things came to mind, so he decided to open the letter and read it as he read he would be more and more amused by the written text. Once he finished reading it he stood up when to his kitchen and grabbed the first thing he saw to snack on which was a pack of cracker he had nothing better at the moment so he took them and made his way out his house locking the door behind him and jumping from roof top to roof top thinking about who where the people they team him up with and who would be his sensei.
