Jounin Standby Station

[anbukurono]

A high up building built into the side of the mountain overlooking much of the village. It is here that Jounin in the village stay while waiting for orders or off duty. Visiting Jounin are allowed to make use the facility during the course of the Chuunin Exams.

"Ah time to stretch out." Mei yawned sitting down in one of the lounge chairs. It was a relaxing moment after the harsh travel up the mountain to the village. Though being away from her baby made her weary. Looking through the glasses and seeing the gigantic village made Mei even more weary. She sighed.

Yuki took a seat in a lounge chair across from Mei. "So how's your genin looking this year, Mei-Chan?" He smiled as he set his Gunbai, and Katana at his side. It was time to sit and relax so he fell back into his seat and laid there getting nice and comfy. Things were not to tough to deal with anymore now that the genin were about to begin their testing.

[Sondiame]

"They should pass the first exams, but I don't know about the second part." Mei frowned. "Though a Sharingan,Byakugan, and a Medical Ninja should do great." Mei said sitting back down. "Do you have genin now Yuki?" She asked crossing her legs as she sat.

[Tobi]

Yuki nodded with a slight smile on his face. "Soren, Shota, and Armod. Those three be mine." He spoke out, and noted each of there names for Mei. "I'm not sure how they will do in the first part, none of them have an ability to cheat right so hopefully they play right." Chuckling a little he doubted his genin for the moment, it was hard to tell how they would even act in this situation he barely knew them. He was just told these are you Genin put them in the exam. He was rushed.

[Sondiame]

"Well that's good." Mei said looking the ceiling. The tiresome walk to the village was enough to still have her exhausted. "Isn't Shota the Three Winged?" Mei asked realizing the names that Yuki said.

[Tobi]

"Indeed he is." Yuki's voice was that of obscurity. He was both proud to teach someone with a beast, but at the same time intimidated. "I can't wait for the day that I help him train the beast." Yuki looked up, arms crossed, and crimson eyes glowing in the light of the room. It was his little way at hinting to how he would go about training such a thing.

[Sondiame]

Mei chuckled as she looked into Yuki's eyes. "Well the Crimson Eyes of Konoha is going to be an excellent teacher. "Seems as though our generation is up, and its time to raise the next to be better than us."

[Tobi]

Our generation up? Yuki knew not of such things. His eyes dropped slightly and his smirk to that of a dull face now. He was confused for the moment and almost didn't understand or want to understand what Mei was saying. "Our time is not over, it wont be for a long time..." He murmured out knowing things in his life were no where near completed.

Kurono enters into the Jounin Station, plopping herself down onto the couch, holding a can of green tea. It was somewhat of a comfortable feeling to be back in Kumo, one of the rare places outside of Konoha that she felt perfectly comfortable. Instantly she was able to see that she wasn't alone in the room and had the company of some of her fellow Jounin from Konoha. " Nice to see that I've got some company here so early on here." She says casually to the two with a smile, popping the can open and drinking.

[Dawning Wolf]

Ashley would be coming in, as she went to sit down next to Kurono. "Hey everyone! I am here! Hey sweetie!" Ashley would say, sitting next to Kurono hugging her. "So, what do you think of your squads? Do you think they will win and move on? I have a great hope in my team. A Hyuuga, a hanejuu user, and an Inazuka!" Ashley would say with a smile. "I bet they will all make it to the finals!"

A small amount of blazing chakra was concentrated within the finger tip of the Kirigakure jonin, before it was tapped against the blunt end of a cigarette. A series of hazy smoke escaped the edge of his lips, before a Kumogakure jonin seated herself upon the ledge that the male jonin was settled beside.
“I lost my matches, Orochi.” She pulled a cigarette from her shruiken holder, and tipped it in the corner of her mouth. “Sorry, spare me some chakra. I’ll end up freezing my cigarette with ice release.”
Fragrant smoke soon billowed around the two squad leaders after Orochi agreed mutely and ignited the Kumogakure jonin’s cigarette with his chakra. He drew back and relaxed on his overstuffed chair, and let the long ash from his cigarette fall before speaking in a low voice. “Ice release? I see it’s not only the vast amount of genins this year that are blessed with kekkei genkai.” His eyebrows were lifted.
Miki was slouched, her hands folded in a ball on her lap. Her legs dangled off the ledge in a sort of casual way. Cigarette fumes were blown out from her nostrils, giving the impression of tusks. “Wrong. Only one of my genins have a kekkei genkai, the rest are improving on their own self-found specialties.” The cigarette was held gently in her teeth as she spoke hazily. She exhaled limply. “But nearly all the genin do seem to have specialties. We were the ones to replace the past generation. Imagine what will be next.” She personally didn’t believe this expression – there had been nobody to replace the ranks of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara so far. Godly, they were. She hardly believed all the stories told of them.
Unexpectantly to Orochi, Miki leaned over to the group of other conversing jonins. More tusk-like haze was issued out from her lungs. “How about all of you? Specialties and kekkei genkai are abundant in the genins this year, yes?” She was able to sense the answer like a lingering scent.

Do you think they will win and move on? In deep contrast, a cheery jonin had entered the room.
"I have faith in my genins. They still need grow as a group, but they'll be quick to learn so." Orochi answered firmly, and Miki gave a mute nod. "As do I. Mine are relatively closely knit." Despite being too eager to impress others.

"The will of fire needs to be passed onto the next generation, and if we don't do such a thing. We'll have a repeat-" Mei stopped herself. It didn't even seem like decades ago all the villages were segregated. War was something bound to happen in the world they lived in, and only in these last couple of decades have the peace been settled. Kurono, Yuki, and Ashley were all valuable ninja, but this next generation was something better. Listening on to the Kirigakure Jounin, Mei could only add in. "I can't really bad talk such a group of genin, having Kurono's son, a main branch Hyuuga and a very intelligent little girl." Mei smiled. "What can your genin do?" She asked to all the other Genin in the room.

This was indeed a fine group of Genin this year. There were many from famous bloodlines, and even some no so famous bloodlines. The smell of the tobacco was on both of the non- Konoha Jounin. It had been so long since Mei had smoked. Ever since she had Aidou she had to keep away from smoking. "Can I have a cigarette?"

[Tobi]

Shuffling his arms so the right was cross over his left, Yuki sat. The faint sound of his armor shirking around vibrated through the room. He was one of the only members in his entire clan to embrace the old ways of dressing. His outfits either consisted of black robes, or tradition black armor. Both homage to his idols Madara, and Itachi (Dad). "The will of fire will be passed down yes..."

Yuki ignored the outbursts of Ashley finding her actions a bit annoying in such a serious of times. Though the relaxing smell of cigarette smoke filling the air was something he could lean back into his chair more too. The cushions taking his body in like the soft foam it was. "Kurono-Chan, how is Haru-Kun doing?" He asked openly curious as to how a fellow member of his bloodline was doing.

Eiko would come into the lounge where all her fellow jounin were. The rest of them would be talking about their teams which would lead Eiko to think of her own team. She was sure that they would be exceptional as a team in the second part of the exam. However she wasn't as sure of their abilities individually. She felt that they work better as a team. Eiko looked at the villages that the others were from. Most were Konoha but there was also Orochi from Kirigakure like her and a Kumo jounn that she didn't know. She would offer Orochi a wave as she would take a drink from a flask filled with sake that she had.
