Ichiro looked at both genin. Should they start without the third? Or perhaps they were to wait? No, they wouldn't wait. They were wasting valuable time, something ichiro hated doing. "For now, we'll start without the third genin. If he does show up, I'll be sure to give him a proper scolding for making us wait. If he doesn't then I'll report the Hokage tonight and see what will be done.." Ichiro slid open the only window in the room and jumped onto the windowsil. "Now, before we start any real training, I'm going to study your skill level. Hidden throughout the village are five scrolls with the Noboru symbol.." He held up a picture of a his clan's symbol, which was stitched onto the back of his shirt:
"Whoever finds the most will learn a special jutsu. But it's not that simple. In order to find them, you must find me first.."Ichiro pulled out five small scrolls and stuffed them in his pockets. "If you find me then I'll give you one. You have until sunset. Good luck." He smirked a bit and jumped out the window, teleporting in mid air to the ramen shop near the front gate. After a series of hand signs, a tower of water splurged up from a stream nearby and created four identical Ichiros. Each was handed a scroll, and the clones ran off to specific areas in the village that were close to water so they wouldn't disperse. The remaining Ichiro, the real one, walked into the ramen stand and took a seat. "Now, let the games begin."
