“Tsunade huh? Who is that?” You say apathetically.
“Lady Tsunade is one of the greatest shinobis that Konoha has ever produced. Both her skill and beauty are known throughout the ninja world, and you will do well to show her proper respect.” Father answers stoically.
You roll your eyes at the brevity your father uses when describing Tsunade. While she DOES sound rather powerful….you have a feeling your father isn’t that hard to impress.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll soon find out whether or not this….Tsunade character is worthy of my respect.” You think quietly to yourself.
“Ardal, do you know much about the clans your two teammates are a part of? Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka…..I believe they’re both the heirs of their respective clans.” Your father asks as he slightly lowers his sunglasses, making his golden brown eyes visible.
You think quietly to yourself before answering.
“I’m a little bit familiar about them. The Nara Clan is famous for their manipulations of shadows, while the Yamanaka clan is renowned for their powerful mind techniques. “You answer blankly as you scratch the back of your head.
“That’s the gist of it.” Your father says with a shrug. “I could go a lot further in detail, but I’m sure your current ignorance will encourage you to bond with them….despite your rather cold demeanor.” Your father adds with a small smile.
You give a snarl before abruptly standing up and walking towards the door.
“Give my regards to Lady Tsunade.” Your father says from behind you.
You say nothing as you put on your forehead protector, briskly walk out the room, and slam the door behind you.

A few hours later, you are sitting on a bench just outside the academy with your new teammates, and your leader standing directly in front of each of you. All four of you seem to be experiencing a moment of mutual silence and awkwardness; you take this time to carefully analyze these three people.
You first look at the Nara child. His long black hair is fashioned into a spiky ponytail, and both his ears contain two small, silver studs. He has narrow brown eyes that are gazing about lazily, and in his hands, he is toying with a small, silver coin. His blue forehead protector is tied around his neck.
To the left of him is the kid from the Yamanaka clan. Like Shikaku, Inoichi’s hair is fashioned in long, albeit neater pony tail. His hair is a dirty blond color, and his bright, blue eyes are staring directly ahead. You notice that there is a sheathed tanto attached just behind his right shoulder.
In front of you is Lady Tsunade….and you could tell what your father meant when he said she was unrivalled, at least in terms of beauty. Her fair skin seems to glow as the light from the sun hits her from behind, her beautiful blond hair and brown eyes fitting perfectly. She is wearing a grass-green robe over a white blouse. Besides the rather expensive looking necklace around her neck, the only anomaly you see is the purple, rhombus-like marking on the middle of her forehead.
She is looking at all three of you intently, so much that you almost feel a sort of pressure resonating from her.
“So…if we’re just going to spend the whole day staring at each other, can I just go back home and sleep?” Shikaku asks abruptly, in a tone that makes you wonder whether or not he is being serious.
Tsunade says nothing as she quickly shifts her gaze directly at Shikaku, giving him a glare that would make even a lion cower. Despite that, however, Shikaku only sighs before pocketing his coin and leaning back on the bench.
“Master…what exactly are you waiting for?” Inoichi asks innocently.
“What am I waiting for?! I’m waiting for one you men to be polite enough to introduce yourselves! Do they not teach you manners back at the academy?!” Tsunade barks angrily as she slams the cement wall behind her, making a surprisingly loud sound.
Inoichi quickly fumbles around a few incomprehensible words before beginning his introduction.
“My name is Inoichi Yamanaka. I am the heir to the Yamanaka Clan, and hope to one day be a great shinobi such as yourself.” He states quickly.
“Kiss ass.” You think quietly to yourself.
Tsunade only nods before returning his gaze towards the Nara kid. He gives a tired sigh before starting.
“My name is Shikaku Nara. And…..basically the same thing Inoichi says except replace the word Yamanaka with Nara.” Shikaku says with a lazy smile.
You give a small smile while both Inoichi and Tsunade give Shikaku a dirty look, which he quickly responds with apathy. A few moments later, everyone turns their gaze towards you.
“And what about you four-eyes? I hope your introduction is a little more creative than the last one.” She says rudely.
A) Answer rudely (+ disposition towards Shikaku, ?? disposition towards Tsunade, - disposition towards Inoichi)
B) Answer politely (?? disposition towards Tsunade, + disposition towards Inoichi, - disposition towards Shikaku)
C) Answer the same way Shikaku did. (Same as A)
D) Ask Tsunade to introduce herself first. (
