Yuki disappeared promptly from the scene, leaving the two women to only speculate on his intentions. Well, one of them at least. Maki was quickly doing everything she could to dispel any suspicion about what the two had just been doing...<br/><br/>The following day he spent much of his time in the library and public records office, but information was not forthcoming. At least the wait would soon be over and he could focus on the exams. The genin departed on his own, leaving the rest of his team to their own devices as he went on into the woods.<br/><br/>He heard the familiar sounds of distant explosions and sound chased them down to their source. Trees smoked, broken at the trunks, and craters decorated the earth. "Ooh?" Bakumi replied, shooting him a sideways glance, "You came back, hm?"<br/><br/>The wild-haired kunoichi closed her eyes and grinned, "I thought I scared you off."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>After his training, Jin-Ryu stopped by the shinobi hospital offering to volunteer his services. They did seem quite busy, synthesizing antidotes and emergency reserves of chakra potions or medical kits. A large-scale blood drive was under way, with many civilians and shinobi alike offering to donate.<br/><br/>After a bit of subterfuge, the ninja found himself carrying supplies and loading them up. Someone mentioned the name 'Ruka' and off he went in pursuit of the lead. He found the Jounin loading up a box full of bandages, splints, and other medicinal equipment. He quickly stepped in to help her with the crate. The woman had short shoulder-length brown hair and wore a labcoat over more casual clothes, a button-down blouse over a full body spandex suit, with no bottoms.<br/><br/>"Oh!" She explained as she noticed Jin-Ryu helping her pack, "Thank you."<br/><br/>Then she tilted her head to the side, "Ah... uh, I thought you were one of our nurses. Wait, you're not even from here, are you?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Azuki quickly left her comrades to chase down the longtime target of her affections. Once she could find one member of her team, the rest would be easy. They were all a bit of a celebrity. Hanabi was the Seventh Hokage's daughter, Hiro the heir of the Sarutobi clan, and the dark horse that no one ever expected to turn out as quite possibly the most talented of the three, Naomi. She wasn't even from the main branch of the Nara clan.<br/><br/>She was the first one Azuki found, wearing shorts and a tan jacket, with her hands in her pockets. She had brown hair, one bang over her forehead and a bushy ponytail, like so many other members of the Nara clan. Apparently she had some poor Iwa nin wrapped around her finger, the boy hanging onto her every word. She had all the wit of the clan's patriarch Shikamaru but none of the laziness. A dangerous woman to cross...<br/><br/>"Oh." She said, turning her attention away from the boy and towards the kunoichi, "Azuki-chan. Meet my newest friend here, uh..."<br/><br/>"Ikaru." he added, nodding enthusiastically.
