If you understand what I mean."</strong>That's how it was in life many times, the talented were separated from the hard-workers. Even if the hard-workers matched up to the talented, the hard-working talented were another insurmountable wall to climb.<strong>"Those other Uchiha would take decades to master the Lightning Nature, most of them would rather spend time developing their Fire Style further. There are a few however that take the long path to learning the Lightning Style."</strong>Then Karin spoke after no one else volunteered themselves to go.<br/><br/>Tsuneo listened intently to Karin's capabilities and jutsu. She was apparently a puppet user, like Kankuro of the Sand which also happened to be a relative of hers. He kept a mental note of that. She also declared confidently that she had surpassed Kankuro in the amount of puppets he could use at once, which if Tsuneo could recall correctly was four. That was impressive of her, controlling more than four puppets took a very organized mind and a very meticulous application of the Puppet Jutsu. Her ability to do this was very admirable indeed. She exposed her arms for a short amount of time before pulling down her sleeves. It seemed she was aware that there could be spies at any time watching them as they left the city. Tsuneo was correct in thinking that Karin was a clever woman, another facet of hers that was admirable. His quick eyes picked up six symbols on her arms, the amount of puppets she could use presumably. He was only able to make out two on the right arm, the one closest to him, and one on the left.<em>Kame, Taranchura and Kaeru</em>were the ones that stuck out to him.<em>Kame</em>was probably a shield puppet of some sort,<em>Taranchura</em>was probably a multi-armed puppet armed with poison, and he couldn't even begin to guess what<em>Kaeru</em>did. A jumping puppet? Or perhaps it was an allusion towards the tongue of a frog, something came out of its mouth and attached to an opponent, most likely coated with poison. She might have had others stashed away on her person, keeping that a secret from any potential spies. Or perhaps those on her arms were all of them. Still, six puppets, that was amazing. This thought wasn't outwardly expressed besides an instance of his eyebrows being raised when she showed her arms. She finished by saying that she kept the same type of tools as he did, bar the repair tools and other things for her puppets, but this bothered Tsuneo. Didn't she also need to replace the poison in her puppets? Or perhaps she didn't use poison. This had the young Uchiha thinking for a while. He decided to drop it, believing that she had a reason for not indulging that fact to the rest of them. He replied to her,<strong>"No questions from me."</strong><br/><br/>Next came Nanase, of whom Tsuneo was already familiar with her origins and presumed already that she was exclusively a taijutsu user just like her grandfather. Her own comments reinforced this thought as she also revealed that Naruto taught her the Kage Bushin no Jutsu. If he went so far as to teach her that, maybe he also started to teach her the Rasengan? That would be a useful technique to have in the group, paired up with his own Chidori. Nanase revealed herself in a more personal light, saying that she loved ramen and hated to wake up early. Tsuneo lightly chuckled after Nanase suggested that they should be more personal with each other than just treating everyone like tools to be used. She had a point, however, since they were going to be together for a long time, everyone should be more open about themselves. It couldn't be helped, in the end, all of these people will know him just as if they were a member of the Uchiha clan. He did not know how to feel about that. The young Uchiha let Azura and Takeshi speak before indulging Nanase's request.<br/><br/>Azura's specialties didn't come as a surprise to Tsuneo, seeing as she was a Jonin, of course she would be well versed in all three types of Jutsu, but she had a preference towards Tai- and Ninjutsu. She showed the others her special sword, Samehada, of which Tsuneo already knew she had. She stopped there in describing her abilities, but the young ninja already knew from the Uchiha intel that Azura had an affinity to Earth, Fire, and Water, possessing the Kekkei-Genkai of Lava-Release and Boil-Release. This was a high-level ninja leading them. Azura mentioned that she loved going to the hot springs, drinking sake, which was a side of her that he didn't expect. Actually, it threw him for a loop, as he almost lost footing before seamlessly regaining his balance. Such a serious-looking woman actually liked to relax like that. At least that proved to him that she was still human.<br/><br/>Then Takeshi spoke and from the moment he started to speak to the moment he stopped speaking, Tsuneo was thrown even more for a loop as what Takeshi said made little to no sense to him. First he spoke about cooking which sounded nice and all, like he memorized it from a cookbook or something, then he caught a snake, killing it and extracting its venom, and finally he cut himself, showing that he does not bleed and said something that sounded like a catch phrase. Tsuneo looked to the side away from everyone and a hopeless look appeared on his face.<em>That's nice and all, but what about your jutsu and your capabilities? Hell, you didn't even listen to Nanase about revealing something you like and something you hate.</em>All Tsuneo gathered from that, combined with his previous knowledge about his clan, was that he can control blood pretty well, especially his own. But that still didn't tell everyone if he was a close distance fighter or otherwise. Tsuneo could tell that he was capable, but could the others? Communication was important and he was being all sorts of vague. He can cook, but so can every ninja to a certain level. Survival techniques were taught to him since he was able to walk. Tsuneo was the designated cook in his group in the Uchiha, so perhaps he'll have to do that here with this group as well. His attention came back to the group as he saw that he had nothing to add for sure.<br/><br/>Tsuneo scratched his head,<strong>"Uh.. okay. Alright then, something I like, huh? Hmm."</strong>He thought about it and came up with something he liked more than anything,<strong>"I like it when sun starts to set and the clouds and sky turn into a mixture of blue and orange. Now.. something I hate.."</strong>The first thing that came to his mind was Konohagakure, but he couldn't bring himself to say that, he had a little more tact than that. He then finished the statement,<strong>"I hate being misunderstood. I tend to be blunt and that rubs people the wrong way, in ways I certainly didn't intend to, but that comes from talking little and being too straightforward whenever I do talk."</strong>Then he looked at Karin, wondering what she might say.
