The Jounin brushed her hair aside and nodded, "Well, thanks."<br/><br/>She smiled, her eyes looking him over, "You're not even a medic-nin, huh? That's very... philanthropic of you." The woman took the crate and took it outside the room and down the hallways of the clinic to a loading dock. Jin-Ryu took another and walked beside her, "Kirigakure's sparing no expense this year. They used to make genin sign waivers just to scare 'em. Tell them that they could die out there in the training grounds."<br/><br/>"How things have changed since the days of the Bloody Mist." Ruka sighed, kicking out a door with her heel and backpeddling out towards a truck to offload the medical supplies.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Nara Naomi gave Azuki a nod, a hint of gratefulness for her help in whatever scheme she had intended to play out with the boy. "Mm, Himawari, eh?" She closed her eyes and pointed her thumb over her shoulder, "Training with Hiro and Tara at the gym."<br/><br/>The young woman smiled, "Careful. You know how monkeys feel about snakes." Of course... Sarutobi Hiro's companion and personal summon Tara, the monkey princess.<br/><br/>The gym didn't seem very populated at that moment. It seemed so very... public, which may explain why no one was in there. After all, ninjas loathed exposure of any kind. Team Konohamaru seemed to be the exception to this rule. Well, Uzumakis<em>were</em>known for wearing orange.<br/><br/>Hiro was on his back, bench-pressing a bar with no weights on it... well, no gym weights. On one end sat Tara, the monkey princess. On the other end sat Himawari, the blue-haired princess of Konoha. He was wearing a mesh shirt, having hung up his absurdly long scarf and jacket on a rack. He wore plain black pants, a shuriken holster, and sandals.<br/><br/>Tara was dressed in a tiger-patterned jacket with fur trim and black trousers. She was barefooted and dark-skinned, with blonde hair and a blonde tail that playfully wagged as she bobbed up and down on the bar.<br/><br/>Himawari herself was dressed in peach shorts and a sleeveless top, exposing her cleavage and considerable assets. Her blue hair was down to her shoulder blades, appearing very much like a tree. The young woman wore stockings and a shuriken holster on her thigh. The Uzumaki's blue eyes wandered and she spotted Azuki, "Oh, hey!" She started to wave, throwing Hiro off balance and forcing him to overcompensate on the other side, which threw Tara off balance.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Mmmhm." Bakumi hummed, dusting her palms off. Really, though, they left a wet residue on her skin. Though it was hard to see from here, she did indeed have a pair of mouths on her palms, "Never much liked working with others. Not even those in Iwa. My sensei said the best way I could prepare for these exams is by staying away from all these other ninja, huh?"<br/><br/>The woman looked over at Yuki skeptically, "Can you believe that?"<br/><br/>"I'm not even the<em>really</em>crazy one." The wild-haired kunoichi grinned and bit her lip, "If you ran into Gorugon all alone here in the woods with no witnesses, she might just turn you into the first exhibit in the Kirigakure statue garden."
