Genin Substitute teacher (P. Tamaki, Kotetsu, NK)

Mission: Teacher for a Day

Another lovely day in Hoshigakure, and Kotetsu had a mission. It wasn't a super hard mission, but ryo was ryo. His mission for that day was to watch over a class of academy students as their regular sensei was sick. Because it was a slightly larger than normal class, Kotetsu would be joined by another Genin, just so that neither one gets overwhelmed by the 30 students that were supposed to be in the class. It would be a good indicator for Kotetsu if he was meant to be a teacher at some point. He felt the easiest way to learn was by doing. And it definitely didn't hurt to gain some experience in an actual classroom environment. As such, Kotetsu would wear his regular gear and make his way to the Ninja Academy to meet his fellow Genin. The lesson plan was already figured out, it covered the basics necessary for graduation, as well as some physical education outside in the training yard. Both things should be fairly simple, especially with a second Genin to assist, so Kotetsu was confident that the mission would go smoothly. After making sure he had everything he needed, he made his way to the Academy and waited  by the classroom door for the other Genin so they could enter simultaneously.

It was almost time for class to start, and the other substitute hadn't arrived yet. Kotetsu frowned and looked down the halls. 'We'll need to go inside and start the class soon. We'll have to start without him if he doesn't show up soon...' Kotetsu thinks to himself. 'If he doesn't show up within 10 minutes I'll have to start without him. I would have preferred to have someone else here to assist, but I can manage on my own if need be...' Kotetsu continues to wait for the other Genin to arrive. Should they not show up within that 10 minute period, Kotetsu will make his way inside to begin the class.

Another mission, this one was a meager babysitting task.
Tamaki arrived in his dusk attire, black jacket and pants.
His wispy ashen white hair clouding his head with silver linings, he would be instructing a room full of academy students today with the help of a fellow Hoshi genin whose name he did not think to learn before hand.
The only aforementioned criteria he could think to establish among the younglings was the same he had been given; transformation jutsu and clone jutsu, for beginners.

2 minutes to spare before class was supposed to start, and a young shinobi was making his way down towards the classroom. They looked like a male from the distance that Kotetsu could make out, about average height and a little on the lean side. He wore dark clothes and had white hair. When they got to within normal speaking distance Kotetsu would call out to the other individual. “Hey there, are you the other Genin that’s here to help me with this class today?”
 
If the other individual responds with an affirmative, Kotetsu will chuckle before saying, “You had me worried there for a moment there. I was thinking you would not have shown up. I probably could have managed, but thirty students is a lot, especially since they are all likely to be my age… I’m Kotetsu by the way; it is nice to meet you.”

He had never been one for brevity albeit however this introduction would have to be brief, he raised his hand in affirmation and nodded sternly.
Not belying his true emotional sentiment he gestured for Kotetsu to enter the room before ushering him in with his own name, "It is a pleasure to meet you Kotetsu, my name is Tamaki Fuyu, shall we?"
He would then enter the room filled with children not much younger than himself who were all excitedly lining the seats.
First of all, they were academy students; the stars of haven, and they would all be looking to learn the basic jutsu necessary for the genin exams; transformation and clone jutsu.
"Good morning class, my name is Tamaki Fuyu and this is my colleague Kotetsu, we will be looking after you today. "
Addressing the class first to settle them down he waited patiently for them to take their seats and stop talking amongst themselves.
They would all be fine shinobi one day, he himself had attended a class much like this one before starting his journey within the village.
He was anticipating his counterpart's role in the classroom to be informative if not supportive and Tamaki would wait to see how Kotetsu handled himself under pressure.

The other shinobi's name was Tamaki Fuyu. Introductions would indeed have to remain brief since class was about to start. Kotetsu nodded in response. "Indeed. Let us see what we have to work with today." Kotetsu entered the class first, with Tamaki right behind him. Once they were inside the, class was in the usual state of chatter. Students in groups talking amongst themselves. They started making their way to their seats when Tamaki introduced himself and Kotetsu to the students and called them all to sit down. There were a total of thirty or so students in the class, most of them were around Kotetsu's age or older. 'Not a problem...' Kotetsu thought to himself as Tamaki and him stood at the front of the classroom while the kids took their seats. 'Hopefully they won't cause us any issues...'

While they waited for the stragglers to take their seats, Kotetsu would turn to Tamaki and ask; "What did you want to go over with them? I was thinking about going over the basics for graduation, have them spar or work on aim with throwing weapons, and perhaps learning  some other basic jutsu afterwards."

Not having thought clearly on the subject since the chatter began Tamaki began to ponder what he would teach them, if Kotetsu covered the basics then Tamaki would have to predominately go for something for a flourish.
"I'll teach them a game."
Raising his voice so as to be heard across the whole of the room, he took center stage in front of the class and began to speak,
"Today we will be establishing the fundamentals of being a shinobi as well as participating in an after class game to teach you about chakra control, if there are any questions, please voice your concerns now. "
Standing in place he did the basic hand signs for the clone technique with a little added flavour, he preformed the wood clone jutsu as it slowly began to form from his body.
Wood began to flow outside of his body and form into a humanoid figure, it resembled Tamaki but more like a training dummy.
"Today, we would like to teach you the clone jutsu; unlike my clone your's will be incorporeal; an illusion, just for you to learn and perform for us. "
The clone stood shoulder to shoulder with him and made the duo a trio.
He would allow his partner to transform into Kotetsu after the necessary hand signs, "Also the transformation jutsu which will allow you to take the form or visage of another object or person. "
Tamaki looked over to his companion and clone and would then wait to see the following reaction, preparing himself for the forthcoming nature of teaching a class room.

‘A Game?..’ Kotetsu thought as Tamaki started addressing the class. ’I wonder what kind of game he plans on teaching them…’Kotetsu shrugs and waits for Tamaki to finish his demonstration for the class. ‘Ahh, so he’s a wood style user…Good to know… Kotetsu thinks to himself as he watches Tamaki create not just one, but two clones that appear to be made of wood. ‘I really need to get some form of solid clones. Perhaps I can learn to make a clone out of ice…or perhaps get someone to help me learn shadow clones…’ Kotetsu stopped musing when he heard Tamaki finish speaking about their intentions for the day, assuming that to mean if was time for Kotetsu to teach them the techniques since Tamaki said he was going to teach them a game.

“Alright, we’re going to start with the clone technique today. Mainly because it is the simpler of the two jutsu. It only has one aspect that you need to keep track of in terms of chakra. Clones use a set amount of chakra, so once you’ve applied enough to get the jutsu started, you won’t need to apply any more. It has three hand signs; Ram, snake, and tiger.” As he explains, he demonstrates each hand sign while building up the chakra needed for the technique. “Once you’ve made the hand signs, you can release the jutsu and create the clones.” As Kotetsu releases the jutsu he creates two clones. He looks around the class to gauge their expressions, making sure they understood the fundamentals before getting into the pros and cons of the jutsu.

“The clone technique is useful as a diversion, to an extent.” Kotetsu begins by saying. He waves his hand through one of the clones and it passes through with no effort. “As you can see, they won’t stop an attack because they have no substance. That also means if they move around on the ground, they will not make a sound, nor will they leave footprints or cause dust or similar traits that a solid clone would. Something to watch out for when you are sparring with someone, or if you are in a combat situation.” He says to the class, giving them a few minutes to digest the information before moving on. During that couple minutes wait, he asks Tamaki “Did you want to explain the transformation jutsu, or did you want me to cover that as well?”

Nodding in affirmation Tamaki began to explain the transformation technique in a clarity he could ill afford, "And the transformation technique differs as it requires constant chakra to maintain, right?"
Not entirely sure of the mechanics himself he guessed and groped at the answer that was necessary for these students to grasp the concept of the jutsu.
Only really garnering the knowledge he'd utilized to complete his education he realized how ill disposed he was at teaching almost immediately after having opened his mouth.
He frowned and made a monkey hand sign, expelling water in a short jet stream towards his clone he preformed Ou Tsuba.
"The game I'd like to teach you all involves an e-rank water technique. It is called water tag, you preform the monkey hand sign and gather water chakra in your mouth before shooting it at your desired target. "
His teaching implement would be his clone, after learning the two necessary jutsu Tamaki thought rewarding them with another technique would be appropriate.
They could play amongst themselves while leaning towards the watery side of techniques, sharpening their chakra control and manipulation.
Tamaki looked over to his companions and shrugged widely to represent he was at the ends of his ropes as far as teaching was concerned.
He wasn't the most enthusiastic of ninja but he had showed up where other's had not.
Showing at least a meager amount of attention he spanned the classroom with a precursory look before his eye sight fell on a particular academy student's seat.
They seemed to be following along competently so Tamaki called them to stand before Kotetsu and himself, "You. There! Stand up and give us your name, you will be the first to attempt any of the three techniques we've just represented for you. Take your time and concentrate. Only two of these techniques are absolutely necessary for becoming a genin; clone and transformation. Please dazzle us with your brilliance. "

Kotetsu nods in agreement to Tamaki. "That's right. It requires you to devote a constant supply of chakra in order to maintain the jutsu properly. It is primarily used for infiltration and espionage but it does have some uses in combat as well." He says as a follow up to what Tamaki said. He leans against the wall and lets Tamaki explain the game he wanted them to play. 'It would be interesting to see how many of the students would be able to use the water technique...' Kotetsu thought to himself. He would be surprised if every single shinobi in the class had an affinity to water-style jutsu. It's possible, but extremely unlikely, especially in a class this size. 'Most of them probably don't even know what their primary chakra nature is...' Kotetsu shrugs as he watches the students attempt the jutsu. As to be expected a good deal of the class was unable to use the jutsu, not for lack of trying though. There were a few that managed to use the jutsu which was something at least.

After a short period, Tamaki pointed out one of the students and asked them come to the front of the class and demonstrate one of the techniques that were taught today. The student gave their name and proceeded to demonstrate the transformation technique, transforming into Tamaki and doing an excellent job of it too. "Well done." Kotetsu says to the student as he make his way back to his seat. "Who's next?" He asks the class. He waits for a moment, and just as he is about to select someone, there is a knock at the classroom door. Kotetsu walks over to the door and opens it. One of the Academy instructors was there to let them know that classes were ending early today and that the students could head home if they wished. Kotetsu nods and thanks the instructor before closing the door and walking back over to Tamaki. "It would seem that classes are done early today. You're all free to go home now if you would like."
