Midori's team having cuts all over, both deep and small, Akihiko with Kunais injected in his body. The medical ninjas rush to both team's aid.

"That's the strength of a Tuchimaru?" Kuroishi asks. Marina shakes her head "She held back, I'm just glad the fire jutsus didn't trigger her again."

"Well she surely seems to have improved from what their teacher has told me." the Mizukage states. Marina, along with Kina smiles at Midori and her team.

"Kuroishi, do you have anything to say?" the Mizukage asks. "They seem like a good team, but lack the ability to hold back their emotions during a fight, if the battle was life or death they would've been killed."

Kina's flashback

"I'm sorry."

"I'm so so sorry!" crying the white haired girl weeps over her now dead friend "I-I had to, I'm sorry." she screams as she is suddenly pulled away from the lifeless pile of bodies. "Put me down!" she struggles, trying to get out of the iron grip of her teacher. "There is no use in crying over a dead body." he states.

Kina's flashback over

"I'm just glad both teams are still alive." she mutters.

"We apologize for our behavior team Kuroishi, I hope you can forgive us for being so hostile to you." the now almost healed Joku bows to them, showing his respect and apologies. His teammates does the same. "Its alright kid, I forgive ya, but touch my lovely Mido-chan again and I'll murder you." Akihiko states.

"Fine, I guess I can forgive you three." Kana says, studying her nails. They all look at Midori, who is still writing in her book.

Akihiko bends down, placing his arm around her shoulders, then leans in giving her a kiss on the cheek "Mido-chan~ you have to forgive your friend's team~" Midori looks up, ignoring the fact that Akihiko is acting like a boyfriend towards her. "I'm sorry, I didn't process what you were saying but I heard you, its alright." she then returns to her book, Akihiko reading along occasionally asking her what a word means, since her vocabulary is more diverse than his.

The Mizukage, Kina, Marina, Ana's father and Akihiko's father laughs at the scene. The senseis all stare confused, except Kuroishi, who sighs and facepalms.

"That stupid blonde, he still has three Kunais in him and he can still act like that

"That stupid blonde, he still has three Kunais in him and he can still act like that." Kuroishi sighs again. "This team is going to be a handful, thankfully its one quiet child in the group."

"Hey auntie! Now that we're genin can we go to that village and get our sushi back?!" Akihiko shouts. The Mizukage stands up from her seat. "Its Mizukage to you young man and not until your team agrees! I will not have my nephew running alone into a village with a thuggish man who owns it!" she shouts.

"Guys can we go?" He asks them. They nod their heads "They agreed auntie!" he shouts. The Mizukage sighs, but a vein seems to pop on her forehead "Its Mizukage to you! How many times do I have to tell you this! And fine but your sensei will be coming along." she agrees. "This is going to be a very annoying mission." Kuroishi mutters.

"Yeah! We're going to save our sushi bar!" he shouts, pumping his fist in the air.

"Don't worry Mido-chan! Once the mission is complete we'll be able to go on more dates!" he says loudly

"Don't worry Mido-chan! Once the mission is complete we'll be able to go on more dates!" he says loudly. Midori, still writing in her book as she heard him, but then again didn't process it.

"Is she always like this?" Kuroishi asks. "Yeah, sometimes she doesn't process what someone says but she hears it. Its like shes ignoring you, but not on purpose." Kina explains.  He nods. "She surely processes something when she feels threatened." he comments.

"Well that's because of her clan, since she doesn't have access to the full kekkei genkei of her clan shes deemed as weak to them, no one was allowed to train her in her clan's fighting style because her mother didn't want the clan's talent to be wasted on someone who wasn't born with all of the senses of the clan, she has many basic human instincts along with other senses, like body heat from afar for example." Marina explains.

"Well what are the things that she can't process? Or can't sense?" he ask out of curiosity. Kina looks down "It seems that one of the things she doesn't seem to process is affection. The other two are sympathy and jokes." she answers.

Kuroishi becomes silent, not knowing what to say. "Shes quiet when shes doesn't process something or when shes writing, no wonder she doesn't speak alot around them, she doesn't process their bond." he then comes to realization, feeling a bit sorry for the group of kids.
