[closed] We'll be raising our hands
Who: Neji and Yamyam
When: July 15th?
Where: Training field somewhere
Notes: Another branch is added to the growing trunk.
Three months since he'd passed the ANBU exam of sorts and began his training as a new recruit, and now he was to meet the shinobi that would become his mentor in Konoha's shadowed ranks. If not for the fact that he knew Izumo's code name to be Mouse, he might have it would be him. The Chuunin did assist him as a new recruit, after all. But in some respects, he was relieved. Izumo was a good man, but he lacked drive and focus and if he was brutally honest, Neji wasn't sure there was all that much to learn from him.
His mentor's code name was Lynx. A promising moniker and an even more promising reputation. The man was an ANBU Captain with a flawless mission record and also happened to be Konoha's coveted Mokuton user. He'd never met him personally, but Neji listened to gossip around HQ despite evidence to the contrary. Details were vague on more than that, but in any case, the Jounin found himself honored to have merited such a prestigious shinobi as his new mentor.
It occurred to him that after today there would be three people he referred to with such a title. Veined eyes swept the field for a chakra signature then faded, and Neji allowed himself a wry smile. The end result of such varying influences would sure be a promising culmination of skills far beyond his own singular style. Settling down in the middle of the training field, Neji breathed and expanded his awareness even while his eyes closed.
There was time, and he could wait.
