Team Chocolate Thunder's First Mission

Karma sighed deeply as she awoke to the rays of sun seeping through her bedroom window, bathing half of the room in it’s warm glow. She groaned loudly as she drew the covers over her head, very much tired and having little desire to crawl from underneath the covers so that she could dress. Usually she would had been up and out of bed an hour ago, but that hadn’t happened due to a long conversation she had had with Sanbi last night. It had probably only been two days since she had become a Jinchuuriki, and already she was learning a lot about the three tailed turtle that dwelled within her body, or maybe it was her psyche, she was uncertain. Though she would had told her mother about Sanbi, she had decided not to at the request of the tailed beast. For one reason or another, the turtle did not wish for anybody but her to know of his return to the human plane, and Karma would respect those wishes. Besides, it was nice to have a secret of her own.

“Himitsu-san,” came the voice of the turtle, disturbing the sleep that Karma was just about to transition into. She tightened her grasp on the covers, pulling them closer to her body as she groaned. All she wanted was some much needed sleep, and she had thought the turtle had been asleep to, though by him calling out her name she was proven wrong. For a flitting second she thought about ignoring the three tailed beast or pretending to be fast asleep, but she had a feeling that she wouldn’t be able to fool the chakra beast. “Yes, Sanbi-sama?” Karma mumbled, brown eyes opening slightly only to stare at the whiteness that surrounded her, courtesy of her covers. She knew the name of the turtle, just like the turtle knew hers, but the two had agreed to refer to one another by something else other than their first name until they became friends. “Isn’t there something that you need to prepare for?” Isobu asked, his voice reverberating throughout Karma’s head.

She was silent for a moment as she thought about it, attempting to remember if she had any plans this rare sunny morning. “No?” She finally answered, though the tone of her voice made it sound like a question rather than an answer. “Nobody you are suppose to meet at the training ground?” Isobu asked. Karma was silent once again, searching her mind for an answer but finding it nearly impossible to comb through hazy memories. “Loki Uzumaki,” Isobu said, sighing deeply, hoping that the child would remember with that major hint. Once again Karma was silent, and for a moment Isobu believed that she had forgotten entirely, that’s until she muttered something under her breath and attempted to unroll herself from the covers. “Crap.” Karma said as she moved her limbs about, attempting to shove the covers off her though she had only managed to tangle herself further.

She rolled off the bed, landing on her shoulder harshly though it didn’t hurt the Himitsu. Without hesitation, the child scrambled out of her prison, removing her pajamas and putting on the outfit reserved for missions and training sessions. She wouldn’t bother with taking a shower, she had taken one last night, and she could live without breakfast. Her main concern was getting to the training grounds. Within five minutes she was out the house, silently thanking Isobu for the reminder, and in ten minutes she arrived at the training ground. “Sorry Loki-sama,” Karma would say upon her arrival as she approached the Uzumaki that served as her sensei. “I, er, overslept.”

Having Isobu within her had to be messing with her memories or maybe it was the lack of sleep. Either way, Karma wasn’t appreciating the inability to recall things, and it was slightly getting on her nerves. It was of no fault of Isobu, he couldn’t be the reason why her memories had been complete crap for the pass two days, at least not directly. Her body probably had to get use to having a Bijuu sealed within it, and until it was done adjusting she would continue to suffer from fuzzy memories. She could definitely live until than, though she hoped it didn’t last very long since she really needed to be able to recall information at a drop of the hat. Yet she would not dwell upon it for the moment as she stared at Loki. Isobu was quiet, something that she wasn’t about to complain about. The turtle was probably asleep anyhow.

“Of course, Loki-sama,” Karma said, smile upon her porcelain face, scratching the corner of her mouth sheepishly as she looked off to the left. Nothing particular had caught her eye, she was simply staring off into the distance before her eyes would turn back to the blonde-haired man that stood before. “Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique,” Karma finally answered, arm dropping down to her side. “I thought it to be the best technique to learn not only because I don’t have a Genjutsu technique in my arsenal, but also because it seemed like a good beginner technique.” She added, eyes roaming around the training ground once again. “You do know that technique… right?” She asked, eyes on Loki once again as she thought about how silly it was for her to assume that the man knew the technique she wished to learn from him. But than again, there was a strong chance that he did know the jutsu, and if he did, Karma would be delighted in learning it for Hell Viewing would be her first step towards constructing a Genjutsu arsenal.

Karma listened to Loki, deciding to hold back a retort when he explained to her what the technique was despite the fact she already knew of it, she just couldn’t use it personally. What prevented her from saying something? Simple, she assumed that Loki assumed that she didn’t know about the technique, it having a misleading name to say the least. And with no desire to stall, she decided to keep her mouth shut and simply nod in understanding. With that information out of the way, Loki proceeded to show her two hand seals, the only two that composed the entire jutsu. She had expected more, but guessed that this was better since the technique could be performed on the fly and without second notice. With his job down, it was now Karma’s turn to utilize the technique, or at least attempt to. With the low rank it received, she assumed that not a whole lot of chakra would be necessary though it would demand some concentration on her part. It was something she was fine with and had even expected.

With a soft sigh, the Himitsu would bring her hands up and mimic the same hand seals Loki had just shown her, eyes closed as chakra flooded her body. She knew that having her eyes closed during activation of a technique could prove fatal in combat, but she was merely practicing at the moment. Karma would do well not to close her eyes for a long period of time when fighting against someone. With her chakra control being good for somebody of her age thanks to her previous training, performing the technique had been a walk in the park. With eyes now open, she would turn her attention back to Loki, desiring confirmation that she had in fact performed the technique.

Karma nodded her head, though she didn't quite understand the reason why the two needed some private time to talk. For a flitting second she feared that Loki somehow knew that she had gained a friend since their last meeting, but she quickly shoved it away. She would have to talk to Isobu when he awoke, until then she followed Loki so that the two could turn in the mission.
