Teamwork? Could use some work..(IO,NK)

It was a beautiful day at the training grounds. The sun as high in the sky and the birds were singing. It was warm out but there was a nice breeze that made the trees sway in a sort of hypnotic way. Jason was sitting cross legged with his back against a tree, enjoying the sunlight while waiting for his friends and new "teammates" Risako, Tatsuya and Kasai. They were definitely a strange mix but they got along so well that they all had agreed to form a team together so that they could further each other's goals. Each of them had their own strengths and weaknesses and each had a unique personality. Risako, the youngest of the group, was a cute little Genin with a sort of spunky attitude who wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind. She had a lot of potential and was strong with her element of fire. She still had a lot of growing and a lot to learn but was a great addition to the team. Tatsuya was powerful but in a reserved manner. He had a disposition, an aura about him that let you know he had seen his fair share of violence and struggle but that it had only served to make him more determined to grow and become stronger to protect those who he cared for. He was on more even terms with both Jason and Kasai then the young Risako. He had a friendly goofy side but don't get on his bad side or you would regret it. Kasai was one of the more unique members of the group. Jason didn't know much about him because of his mysterious nature. For one thing he always wore a mask and seemed more affected by whatever happened to him and Tatsuya then Tatsuya was. His element of fire burned like the sun within him and he was always quick to help out his fellow Leaf ninja. Together Jason believed that the four of them would go far and could accomplish anything they put their minds to. But first they had to work on their teamwork and get more accustomed to working together. That was why Jason had suggested they all meet today and try out some teamwork exercises. He was sure he had a fairly good grasp of everyone's strengths and weaknesses and had some theories about how they could work together but theories and actual practice was usually a completely different story.
So as Jason sat under this tree enjoying the beautiful day he would patiently wait for the other members of his makeshift team to arrive. "It really is beautiful out, isn't it Nami? I hope the others arrive soon." he would say to his fox familiar Nami. She was curled up next to him underneath the tree basking in the sunlight, content just being near Jason. They were inseparable ever since they had bonded that fateful day in the forest. Jason could feel Namis happiness at being so close to him through their empathy link. A feeling he shared. He always felt at peace when she was nearby. Jason had so many emotions flowing through him at the moment. He was happy, anxious, excited, peaceful and worried all at the same time. He decided to close his eyes and meditate to clear his head before the others got there.

It's seemed Risako's early days as a genin would no longer be cursed by early mornings. She wasn't forced to wake up early in weeks? Months? She couldn't remember. It likely wasn't months though. When she first passed her exam, her goal was to become the first person to use a combination of fire and lightning to create a new element, but she dropped that goal quickly. Her new goal, was to catch up to her new friends, who, with the exception of Lukas, we're still pretty far ahead of her, despite her quick growth. (No offense to Lukas, of course.) Well enough about her little mind, let's move on to what her senses picked up. The day appeared to be beautiful. The sky was clear and vast, and somewhat calming. The wind made her short black hair flit around her head. Her headband reflected the sun and everything under its bright rays as the headband hung from her neck. She was to meet with Jason, Kasai, and Tatsuya. She felt less energetic today for some reason, she couldn't quite put her finger on why exactly. Her usually peppy step was replaced with a slow, un-energetic stride. As the genin approached the meeting spot, she would greet Nami and Jason with a quick "Hey," as she waited for the rest of the team.

Kasai had gotten the message to arrive at the training ground, to meet up once more with the group that had eaten together at the noodle restaurant. 
He had been meditating in the forest, as he once had done before. Morning and day, night and then day again. He remembered how little sleep he needed, if he needed it at all, when he was at peace with his surroundings.
He assumed that the reason the message had been sent was in order to form a training, as it was the training grounds, and this was its purpose. However, so many meetings with the same people in so little time. Was this to be his new found team? 
Pondering this in his mind, Kasai came to the conclusion that he did not mind at all this being his team, though his ideal one would be a single number larger. He only wondered who the leader would be, if there were to be one at all. He had been a part of two teams, one which had a leader, and the other which did not.
Approaching the training field, Kasai saw Jason, standing alone with his fox. Kasai went up, and greeted him.
"Hello, Jason, Risako," Kasai would say, bowing. "I am glad to see you here today."

Jason's daydreaming had been cut short by the arrival of both Risako and Kasai. Risako seemed out of sorts for some reason and Jason was curious to know why. Kasai seemed more curious than anything to have been summoned to a meeting in the training grounds with everyone. Jason was sure he had delivered the message to Tatsuya as well but he hadn't arrived yet. And Jason was going to suggest a team with him as "leader". Silly team leader being late and hat not. Anyway back to the point at hand, three out of four of the people who were supposed to meet today had shown up. "Hey Risako, hey Kasai, thanks for coming. Have either of you seen Tatsuya yet today? And Risako you're not as energetic as usual, what's on your mind?" he would say to his two friends, hoping to help raise Risako's spirits and to see if both of them had known Tatsuya's whereabouts as of yet. He didn't want to bring up his idea of forming a team until everyone was there so instead he would patiently listen to their responses to his questions, if they had any.

[Intro]

Wile in the jungles of Waterfall Tatsuay began to develop a unique skill.
He had came across the idea wile meditating in his fort. Tatsuya had already begin to feel the rumbling and beating of the earths heart but now he wanted to make his body in tune with his surroundings. Tatusya would have to make his skin hyper sensitive to vibrations so that he could pick up any movements where in range of the skill. One thing that Tatusya would have to be care full of is not having his mind get too overwhelmed by the new sense that he was developing. 

Deciding to continue his work on the skill h goes to the training ground to develop his skill further. As he was getting ready to leave he received a message from Jason about doing some training.

"Well there goes my nice quiet day of training." Tatusya says.

"But oh well im sure I can still get some quiet time in at some point."

With that Tatusya dashed to the training grounds to meet up with his friends.

[Enter]

Tatsuay getting near to the clearing he sees most of the group has already gotten together.
Walking out from the shadows and into the light Tatusya goes up to Jason, Kasai and Risako.

"Hey guys!"  Tatsuay said.

The last time Tatusya spared, Risako and him both did their own things until they were ready to fight. Or rather until Jason disturbed their peace. *Tatsuya smiles remembering the moment.
Perhaps they all could hone in on some new skill or jutsu before they engage in anything else. 

No matter what happen they were just talking for now and things would be decided soon as a group.
Tatusya's own opinion thought that having a balance of personal training alone (even if other people where around) was just as important as a spar with your best friends.

Risako waved to Kasai while she answered Jason's question, "I didn't get enough sleep." The bruise like bags under her eyes could attest to that. A cheery 'Hey guys!', came from Tatsuya's all too familiar voice, she waved to him too. She wasn't quite aware of the reason they were called out here, but she guessed it had to do with their cooperation. It didn't matter to her anyway, as she enjoyed the atmosphere brought about by the group. She crossed her arms as she shifted her weight to her left foot, waiting for someone to get things started.

[Sorry for the irregular posting habits, since school started again I've been feeling weird. Hopefully by next week I'll be back to normal ;D 
Another factor is Dark Souls. Fuckin Tomb of the Giants I swear.]

(Welll, sorry about the wait on my part too, and the very short incoming post. Making your own website is hard work. Not as hard as dark souls though, and especially tomb of the big eat-your-face skeleton dog giant things.)

Kasai bowed back when waved to, as he was accustomed to doing. 
"Now that it appears we are all here, perhaps you would be so kind to tell us why we were assembled?" Kasai would direct towards Jason, as he had been the one who had summoned them all to there. 
He, as said before, assumed it was to train and possibly make a team. He wondered if Jason knew the different roles in a team. Kasai and Tatsuya, as the duo they once were, served as offensive and disable/support types, but Kasai did not know what roles the other two would take if they all formed a team together. It would be interesting to see though, if this truly was Jason's intentions. He also wondered why Lukas had not showed up, or if he had been invited. He was the weakest, yes, but who better to learn from than others with more experience? 
Regardless, it troubled him not, and Kasai stood, awaiting a response.

[I was informed a team could only have 4 members :/ but if we all agree to also form a group as I just suggested in our ramen thread he is more than welcome to join as long as all of you are ok with it. My friend Odin also just made a Konoha alt as an uchiha that wants to join us if everyone agrees. Also, no worries on the posting, I know everyone is busy and whatnot lol]

It seemed the four of them had finally arrived and were curiously looking at Jason expectantly. That was only expected since he was the one that had called them all here. Well, here goes nothing. "Hello everyone, thank you for coming." he began to say with a smile. "As you know I had suggested creating a group together. I also wish to form a team or teams within this group.(assuming everyone agrees to the group idea from the Ramen thread) This is the first team I would like to work on. This being said, I called everyone here to do both team and solo training. We can start by everyone letting the others know what their strengths and weaknesses are and/or what roles they either want to play or think they would be best suited for on this team. I will go into further detail in a moment. First, I would like to know if any of you have objections or any initial questions for me?" He wasn't sure of their possible responses but he had hoped they would agree with his ideas.
Jason was nervous being the focus of attention but he would have to get used to it eventually if he wanted to become Hokage so he was glad for the practice. No one had yet suggested a potential "leader" for either the group or team and he himself was unsure who would be best suited for the position. At the moment he was leaning toward Tatsuya and would suggest he lead unless anyone had objections or thought someone else would be better suited for the task. For now though, he stood attentively, anxious for the three's responses.

Listing to Jason it was interesting that he had the same ideas that Tatusya had as if he could read his mind on the matter of solo training.

"Yes I would like to do some solo training as that is what I had planned for today as well as I have a new skill that I wish to show you all once its trained. I will require much time to gather my self once we find the time do to the training alone."

Taking only a quick pause Tatusya goes into talking about his strengths.

"From the five of us who have met or even the four of us here I do play the part as the strongest support ninja. Quite literally I would put a complete stop to our opponents movements wile the rest of the team makes further actions. However I am growing in the field of offensive skills as well...In the past I have also shown strength in making strategy and taking a leadership position but I believe leadership can be a shared task but it is still good to have a single mind taking in the ideas of others. One huge weakness I have is how young I am. Now of course it has its benefits of more progressive thinking but at the same time I wish to be wise and have my mind be full of knowledge so i dont feel blind in this world."
 
Tatsuay is interested in what the others could say about their strengths and weaknesses for Tatusya wants to begin putting the map together.

Listening to Jason talk Risako nodded along, showing her attention. She only had one question, what about the unguided youth that seemed to be popping up lately? Well... she was among the youth, but she was guided you see! While Tatsuya spoke she thought about her role in the group. Alas, she couldn't think any particular strong suit she held as of the moment. She remembered reading about a hypothetical element that held both strong offensive and medical abilities. Maybe she could find herself being the teams medic? "I- I'm not too sure what I'm really good at. I haven't thought about it much." She would pause, giving it another thought. "I need to train some more before I decide. Unless you guys have an idea as to what I'd be good for, let it be known." Her arms would still be crossed as the others talked.
