Himiko sighed, "And I thought you'd be my favourite," She muttered, able to tell what his plan was as she turned her body into Hydrification form, causing his 'hug' to cause him to just slip right through her before the effects of the Burst Clearance would hit all three of them. Or more closely, Enzo and Kenichi would be pounded hard into the ground by the intense force, whilst Himiko was able to keep herself standing by her Constructions holding her up with S-Strength and S-Barrier. After just a few seconds the force would be gone, as would the rain and mist leaving the area damp, but clear. "That... was foolish. I delayed the force to give you a chance, and you did the one thing I don't expect to see happen again," She suddenly grew rather stern as she walked over past Kenichi to offer her hand to Enzo to help him up, looking around to see their third member nowhere in sight, Himiko sighing again as she wrote him off. She would have kicked him down to Academy again regardless for giving up. She would go back to him to help him up too if he hadn't already got back onto his feet. "As for the tests. Well... you were both wrong," She would then begin to smile, waving a hand as the thicket of water swirled around her and changed her outfit back to her Priestess uniform. "I'll give it to you though to realise how useful the rain is to me. But it's my vials you should have been paying attention to." She would bring the two remaining team members in with a soft hug. "But I was perhaps a little unfair. This is my first assignment as a sensei so I wasn't sure how to really test you, and I did want to see your skills against an obviously powerful and unorthodox opponent. So let's begin this time together again properly shall we. I'm Himiko Zakiyoshi, from the water specialist Zakiyoshi clan. I'm a Priestess of Kikuri, hence the outfit and the location. This means you can always find me here at the Temple if you need me. And please, I would request you both just call me Himiko, I don't like the whole 'sensei' thing to be honest."

Even though the test was over, Enzo's newfound strength was only barely keeping him upright. It was nowhere near close to the amount of chakra that he needed, but at least he was able to pass. Looking around, Enzo would notice that Luffy left after Himiko helped him up. "Hm, maybe he needed to use the bathroom?" All this water could make someone realize that they had to pee. Anyway, she ended up introducing herself. "Enzo Bakuhatsu, heir to the Bakuhatsu clan. I don't have a fancy secondary title or anything, can you tell me what Kikuri is? "

Enzo then remembered something specific. A samurai named Mu told me that you were on a mission, what was that about? Are you allowed to tell us about it?

Kenichi laid on the floor, it seemed as once again, he missed his chance. Twice has his chance to move her, and damage her slipped out his hand. Kenichi laid on the floor as his mind wondered into another area, while he was his body was hit with the B-rank force. Kenichi closed his eyes as the heaviness if the rain started to dwindle down, once the rain stored complete, he stood to his feet but was soon embraced by a hug from himiko wick included enzo next to him. Himiko zakiyoshi the surname stuck out to him a bit more, than the bakuhatsu. Kenichi had heard of a clan who weren't easy to suduce, and that's exactly who they were. The other person, enzo, he had met once before and knew a bit about him, but knowledge is power epically in this case "my name is kenichi juryoku, I don't need more of a title than that because soon the whole world will fear my name." He stated

Spoiler:

Himiko couldn't help but giggle softly at Enzo's question about Kikuri. "Well, Kikuri is a long story, but I will keep it brief. Kikuri is the minor diety that we in the Zakiyoshi clan have as our main focus of worship. Or those who still follow the religious teachings. But really, our creed is simply to honor our friends, our family, and our ancestors. And Kikuri is in many teachings also the first Zakiyoshi. She is believed to be the start of the clan, and the start to our ties to the ocean and even the very source of our dojutsu," To make that last point she would activate her eyes on the first stage, which to those who weren't versed in the Bakufuko would look like she was suddenly crying a heavy amount. This would only last a brief moment however. "But I won't go further, I don't want to bore you with my silly religion. Hearing the name 'Mu' caused her a moment's pause however, "Hrm... I don't believe I know Mu in person. If they are the Shinto with the Sand and Ice member then I'm aware of them, and I hope they treated you well. But I am fine. I erm... well I suppose you both deserve to know, and I would actually like your help even to keep me on my toes and learning. You see, my clan had a large divide some decades ago, and we even moved when our clan home was destroyed. But you see, we lost a lot of ability scrolls during that time, including my clan's summoning contracts. I was on my way to retrieve them but... well I realised I was not strong enough. That's where I was. So I hope you'll both be fantastic students for me to help me keep learning along side you," If anything she was humble at least, and more than obvious she would never hold much seniority over them.

No need to be so edgy Kenichi, I think it's easy to fear anyone who has control over gravity the way that you do. As a matter of fact, you did a bunch of cool stuff I never saw before. " They just passed her test, or part of it. Enzo wanted the vibe to be a bit more lighthearted atleast.

"Friends, family and ancestors, sounds like a ninja way. Only thing is that it's taught throughout the clan that you are a part of, right? " Enzo would say in a questioning tone as he walked by a rock pillar and rubbed his hands on it, taking a bunch of kunai and shuriken in the process and pocketing them. When the question of Mu being team members of a few people, he would nod slightly. I met only one of his teammates, she's a nice Toketsu. I didn't know they were as strong as they were, even Mu was younger than me, but he was so powerful. I wonder how many situps he did..." Enzo would say as his voice trailed off.

When Himiko mentioned losing her summoning contracts, Enzo frowned. "Oh, well.... what if..... this could be a B rank retrieval mission? You could take us with you and we can provide the extra backup to help you get your scrolls back. Sounds like a neat adventure, but only if you think we are ready for something like that.

Kenichi was a bit upset, prior to Enzi noticing his frustration, he took a deep breath. There want much he could say to enzo, he simply sighed, inhaling air into his body, the air took a matter of seconds before he exhaled. The look on his face calmed down while his eyes simply glance onto enzo "your right, gravity Is already though enough to fight against. " he stated, confirming that his gravity still had room to grow. His eyes glanced onto himiko as she spoke more about her clan and the issues they faced, their situations weren't exactly the same but in some regards similar. Kenichi had knew the effects of a spilt as his father want suppose to initially marry his mother, but he force his way out of the palms of the clan. He heard enzo suggest they go with her to retrieve her Scrolls, this only caused hope to glance at him from the corner of his eyes "I agree about going with her to retrieve the Scrolls, but something of that difficulty is more like a D-rank mission." he teased enzo, ensuring him that they would get through whatever problems they face. "Himiko how old are you? " he questioned

Himiko let the two talk out briefly with a nervous laugh, feeling she needed to stop this conversation topic rather quickly before they could go any further within thinking that. "Erm, I'm afraid this mission of mine is mine alone. I suppose as my team now you should know this now. But this mission I'm planning to take goes back to Old Dipu, where my clan was once based. As much as having the assistance might be appreciated, this isn't a mission I could do with somebody outside of my clan. It's a pretty personal task to myself, and to my clan." She cleared her throat, "Besides, it means when I come back you'll be looking at the new head of the clan, and I'll be a whole new woman. Which in terms of answering your question, I'm eighteen. And if you want to get an idea of my own progression, I was a genin just three years ago."

"Sounds like more of a b-rank or higher mission, something along the lines. Sounds Exciting at least, but maybe i'm still running on the adrenaline of the b rank mission I went on. Speaking of which, how many missions do you need right now, kenichi?" Enzo was curious about Kenichi's completion rate, but then looked over to Himiko sensei when she mentioned that she considered it to be personal. "Oh, I see. This is more of a personal problem huh?"

Enzo folded his arms and nodded. "Alright, then I'll stay out of it. I know you'll pull through..." Thinking back, Enzo would wonder the specific of her growth. "I see, basically 15 when she was a genin, I'm something around that age myself. " Enzo then thought of something else. "When are you leaving again? After the exams?"

It was pretty true, the zakiyoshi business was none of their own, especially since it dealt with specifics such as clan scrolls. Kenichi nodded his head in agreement with enzo to stay out of her business. Kenichi would glance at enzo as he question him about the missions he completed, he forced a smile into his face "you see what happen is, when it comes down to missions. Not all of us is to complete the required amount since they are considered our team completion." he exclaimed to enzo, then forced a laugh. Kenichi's ears focused on what himiko was about to say, after clearing her throat. What he heard left him in a state of confusion, the brilliantly talented himiko once was in his position; he became blaringly hard not to make comparisons with her. "alright, that means I can climb higher than just a regular hunter," he stated, his eyes were focused on himiko, but the second she would look at him, he'd look toward enzo.

Himiko would give a small sigh, "Please just... don't do what I did. I slacked too much before my chuunin exams working in the Temple, and my dear friend wound up doing a lot of work. I think I made it up to them during the exam itself as I did quite well if I say so myself. Just don't make that mistake." She cleared her throat, she truly didn't believe in making herself seem all that much better than her students. "Anyway, I am intending to fullfill a request that will take me to the Epsilon regions, I was planning this from before you were assigned to me, however if it will help you both out with fulfilling your requirements, as your sensei I can't have that and would be happy to change the request to take our whole team,"

In the case of an emergency, or anything bad happening, we have to be in a good place in the sense of skill in order to fully take care of ourselves. it goes beyond the exams if you stop sharpening your skills, you simply lost interest in living at that point. That goes against my ninja way, so you don't have to worry about that with me. " Though, when she mentioned the missions, Enzo shook his head. "No, i don't think it's fair to change your initial plans for us. Maybe you could try to fit us in if its a B-rank mission. I need one more, but after that, I won't intrude in your affairs or anything. "

Enzo would say with a simplistic nod. "Though, unless it was a lie, it should be the same for Kenichi if it's based off my mission rate to the tea, counting it all as a "Team Effort" If he's going to be a hunter ninja, he might be the most skilled at fighting alone in dangerous situations.

Kenichi ears listen carefully from the words of his instructor "I always planned to put in work, it's just that he beat me to it. That's why I wanted to do a mission with my team, so I can show them what we are working with. Soon me and enzo will set out to do a mission, and while we ar there, we will find a way to work together." Kenichi chucked and gave enzo a thumbs up, prior to the work he's been doing. It soon seemed as enzo had something to about the mission, which cause kenichi to interject, he had knowledge of the place she wished to visit "when are you be going before the exams or after." Kenichi eyes srated deep into hers with the intent to go there no matter if she was taking him or not. He took a deep breath, he needed to relax or else it wasn't going to end well. Kenichi simply chuckled at enzo comment "if I was on a team with anyone other than you I'd probably be considered the strongest, but that's only because your kekkai genkai is my kekkai genkai weakness." He explained, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Well, looks like we're going to go on a field trip to Land of Greed then." Himiko would say with a smile, already having been confident that nothing could really go wrong going by herself, at least this way she could possibly see how they responded to the unknown, and would give them all some bonding time. "Perfect. I'll make sure I update you both when we're ready to go. In the mean time, I will put to thought how best I can teach you, and like wise I'd like to know if there is anything in particular you would like to learn under my tutelage. My fighting style is arguably rather clan specific, however I will do my best."

Oh, so you are taking us after all. " Enzo would say with a delightful grin. "Always wondered how it would be like to go on a mission with you. I'll try not to hold you back. " Though, he would notice the comment that his explosive release is stronger than gravity release. It came off a little condescending, as if Enzo pissed him off or something. "Well, if it bothers you that much Kenichi, if you ever find a way around your weakness and want to test it on someone, i'll spar wth you. If there is one thing i'm open about, it's getting past our limitations. "

KenichI smiled, he was hearing word which carried a special meaning, field trip did this man that he'd be able to actually go to see his mother, it was very exciting to hear plus he had something important to tell her. Himiko hasn't planed to leave right away "no, we're ready to go now!" He interrupted her "time is of the essence especially with our exams sneaking up on us, let's travel there now so we can make it back right before the exams start." He was trying to shore how important time was but for him it was two goals contradicting each other, kenichi heard the words of enzo and simply respond "I already found a way to overcome that but for now it's not complete yet." His eyes turned towards himiko "if we leave to greed now we can Train there, and it'll give us some cantata in case we need anything done or need a way to make money." He continued to press his point.

Himiko would give another small sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose. She realised just how deeply she was getting into things, and her students, Enzo especially it seemed, was reminding her a lot of her old team. "Enzo, reminds me to invite you along the next time I see my old friend Armen if he visits. You really remind me of him." She would say as she was thinking of how best to go about things. "Well today is out of bounds for travelling anywhere. I might be a shinobi first, but I am still a Temple Priestess second. I can't just abandon my duties," With that she would make use of her Disguise technique to change her outfit back to her Temple robes. "I'd like you both to go home, rest up, and think about the test today. Next time I want you both to complete my test." She would stroll past and stepping up back on to the decking of the shrine wherein she had attracted attention from one or two of her fellow Priestesses who had never seen her jutsu. She would sit and chat with them a moment, leaving space still if either of her students wanted to join them in Himiko's civilian life, whilst she was busy filling the expended vial of chakra water.

"Well....what exactly does a priestesses do here anyway? Do you pray or something? Enzo would ask her in a curious tone. " I mean, when you really think about it, there is quite a bit about your culture that i still don't understand. " Enzo's voice trailed off a bit." For example, whatever ever happen to the priestess before you? Or the clan head?

Guest

Kenichi would simply pat enzo on the head, right now it was time for her to deal with her priestess duties anything more from this moment would only distract her. "Hey enzo, we will talk to her another time, for now let's prepare to go on the trip. If you hurry up and pack your bags right away, we could probably go to the store and get some ice cream or even train. I'll wait for you by where we gathered when the team first met. " he explained to enzo then walk out of the shrine

Himiko couldn't help but laugh at the two students, with Enzo trying to stay a little longer, not that she minded he stay of course. "It's fine, I'll send you the details of our meeting Kenichi for this journey to Greed, but it will be at the mission office anyway." She would answer her departing student first before she would answer Enzo, "Yes, although... I've been told the Priestesses of Kikuri way of worship is a mix between prayer and mourning, of all things. As for the other Priestesses, there's no such succession or the like. Worship is equal, and outside of the clan politics. However... the issue with the clan head is a difficult position. And I'm afraid this isn't the place for such sensitive issues. If you remind me when we travel, I'll be happy to tell you," She would stand and give a deep bow, as did the other Temple Priestesses, all in different robes to show they were not Kikuri worshippers like Himiko. "Have a good evening. And enjoy some ice cream for me," With that, she would usher the other ladies back inside the Temple for their duties.

Enzo nodded his head at Kenichi as he stayed a bit longer. "Give me a second...." Enzo would say as he stood by, made one more batch of Kunai and shuriken as he listened to her. However, there were som things that couldn't be talked about right now, so they had to wait a while for next time. "Alright, next time then. And if you get here a bit sooner, i'll ask them to put a vanilla ice cream scoop in a small container for you. Enzo then waved. "See you later, Himiko sensei!"

-Exit

Made 2 Kunai, 2 Shuriken.
