"Oh, I got lost."
Oh. when did he end up in an academy? Little children running around, the obnoxious screaming. God, these are future ninjas?
Oh geez… Sakura sighed of relief. The last swordsmen she had to deal with were hell, but at least this guy looked harmless. Or more talk than action, at least. “Which would you rather it be, a crap pick up line or a good guess? Although I guess it’s more crap that
She couldn’t quite imagine a guy who likes to sell ‘rare blades’ not wanting to test these blades out, but he still didn’t look like a threat. Typical Sakura, getting overworked for nothing. “What makes you think that?” she said, smirking a little bit. “I can’t harm a fly, let alone some guy who used to be a swordsman.” Sakura placed her hand on her hip and leaned to a side, trying to accentuate her femininity. Maybe this guy’s a misogynist, she kind of hoped. She already knew the hitai-ate she wore as a headband was a dead giveaway that she was a kunoichi, but maybe he was the kind of guy to think kunoichi are useless? One could only hope. Then again, maybe Sakura just didn’t give him enough credit.
Oh so she gave him a choice? He smiled, "My my, well if I had to choose than I'm flattered for the pick-up line."
Though it seemed she had a grand sense of sarcasm. "Well you are certainly correct, it'd be quite a feat to see someone like you beat a former swordsman like me." He retorted with his own sarcasm, "It's not like you are studying under a powerful kunoichi or something, nor are you known for your incredible strength."
Suigetsu smiled, he believed that she didn't recognize him.. but he continued to play it safe. "Well, if you aren't going to hurt me I assume you wouldn't mind showing this poor traveller around town?"
Oh boy this is going to be such an interesting topic to bring up when he sees Sasuke.
Mimicking a tip of a hat, TenTen grinned and bowed, “One of Konoha’s finest kunoichi at your service! Who just so happens to specialize in sword obsession.”
She pointed to the broadsword planted on Suigetsu’s back, “Now lemme guess: ninja or some psychopath obsessed with swords?”
Suigetsu let out a chuckle, "Is that so? Specialized? That's pretty intimidating actually." Wouldn't want to get cut up or anything, but as she repeated his question he couldn't help but smile.
"A psychopath obsessed with swords."
"...and cute girls." As well as jello and pudding but he didn't need to mention that.
Although Neji found the humor in what Suigetsu was saying, (really just that last part,) he was mostly annoyed that a complete stranger would make such an assumption about him. Wasn’t this sexual harassment?
"No, I do use my kekkei genkai for its purpose,” Neji retorted, taking a step back from the other and maintaining his domineering, calm demeanor. “And you’re in my personal space.”
Neji had no idea who this guy was. He had never seen him around before. And how dare someone make such risque remarks about the women of Konohagakure at his (perceived) age? Clearly this young man is not from here.
Neji’s never had even the slightest of a soft spot for such petty pranks and immaturity. He liked to think he had strong enough personal morals to know that if he were to do such a thing, he’d probably be cursed by his ancestors, anyway.
"Right right, sorry." His mouth latched onto the straw of his bottle and he slurped away. "For it's true purpose huh, all that chakra glowing thingy or however its done."
"Well if I had your power I would probably take full advantage." Suigetsu should probably ask for his name, but he wasn't sure if giving his name would be appropriate.
"My name is Sui, it's nice to meet you." He felt rather lazy to think up an alibi.
TenTen chuckled, “I’d give it a few days, hell, cut through a coconut and that thing’d go dull.” Though she wouldn’t admit it, she was proud of her snark, TenTen bit the bottom of her lip, trying to prevent a broad grin from spreading across her face, “I’m - uh,” she held out her hand, “I’m TenTen.”
"Call me Suigetsu Hozuki." A smile grew on his face, he felt safe enough to say his name because well he had no idea who this was. Sasuke never mentioned a Tenten nor a girl with buns.
"So Tenten, I'm guessing you are a ninja, or some psychopath obsessed with swords."
Neji was starting to feel a little uneasy from how intently the other boy was staring at him.
When the question was asked, Neji had to repeat it over in his head. He admitted to himself that he’d considered it when he was younger, but never once put it to the test to see someone nude. He could see chakra networks, through objects, and directly inside people’s bodies to their skeletons. He remembered how shocked he was upon seeing the insects living inside Shino’s body for the first time. By this logic, the answer would have to be yes.
Interested in flirting and seeing others in the nude. He’s not making the best first impression, Neji thought. “I’ve never tried it, but, yes, probably so.”
"You can?" Suigetu's eyes widened as he was stunned! Out of all the abilities, Neji must've had hit the jackpot. "Such a liar! Having the great gift and not using it for its purpose!"
Suigetsu leaned in and whispered, "Shh, its okay I understand you don't want people to overhear. I bet you've seen all the hot babes here naked."
Suigetsu let out a sigh, "You must be great at speeches.. the whole picturing people naked must be easy for you." The swordsman let out a hearty laugh.
Sakura couldn’t help but smile a little bit at his confession. “Well, at least you’re honest about it,” she thought quietly…
And then he opened his mouth again. Her smile twitched a little at the edges, and she sighed deeply. God, men. "I have to say you’re quite lucky you’re just a harmless passerby, you know?" Sakura raised her voice a little to reach him.
Looking back onto him, she finally realized… those sharp teeth? Does she dare? Her inner fights for control of her mouth. Do you have a fucking death wish? she screams internally. “You’re a Kiri swordsman, aren’t you?” Sakura asks with slight fear and overpowering confidence.
Oh darn, what happened to the harmless passerby? Suigetsu let out a sigh as he rubbed his chin, turning around and grinning. "That's a pretty shitty pick up line, or a really good guess."
"Though I wouldn't call myself that anymore. I rather be known as a trader of blades." Yes, a perfect alibi.. it's better than saying Taka anyway. "I enjoy finding and selling rare blades. I don't like killing." Inner Suigetsu cringed slightly, that lie was bigger than his ego.
"Though, I'm a little terrified. Are you going to pounce at me?" Should he plan an escape? Who knows, it seems like all he can do now is throw his chips into this "Alibi."
"No. Sakura has been gushing about it." He gave the white-haired boy a hint of where they were going. "I’m a little hungry too." Though he wouldn’t be getting much but tea at this tea shop. From what he heard they had different flavors of tea, instead of just green tea. He listened with disinterest as Suigetsu prattled on about his distaste for friend cuttlefish.
He didn’t have time to ask further about the boy’s interests as they arrived at the tea shop. It was exactly what Kakashi had been expecting, though it was clear Suigetsu was shocked. Then came the scathing comment. Kakashi nearly spluttered his next words out. “I just told you I’ve never been here before.” He was thoroughly annoyed. “I’m going to leave you here if you keep acting this way.”
"Heh, what's wrong are you already getting tired of me?" Suigetsu teased as he looked at the tea shop and back at Kakashi, "Fine I'll play along. Wow I can't believe this just arrived here and both of us never been here before wow!"
Suigetsu entered the shop, and instantly found a range of women from little girls to beautiful creatures he could hit on--... and old ladies. Suigetsu nudged Kakashi as he pointed, "There is someone here you can hit on."
His finger pointed at the old baba in the corner fanning herself. "Hoy, all this perfume is killing my nose."
" - Hm? Oh, uh, yeah," TenTen still hadn’t taken her eyes off the axe, mostly because a katana didn’t really spike her interest, "it’s alright, I suppose,” barely peeling her attention from the hatchet to the katana, TenTen continued, “but it really wouldn’t help me, y’know? I would have no real use for it, because you can throw an axe, but you can’t sling a katana at someone and hope that it just cuts a limb off. However,” She slapped a hand onto the strangers’ back, “if you like it, buy it, consider it a souvenir from good ol’ Konoha.”
"You'd be surprised with what one can do with a sword." Suigetsu stared at the blade but shrugged it off, "I'd buy it but its not good enough.. I have my eyes set out on much better blades!" If only he could find them.
"Though its nice to see someone appreciate fine weaponry." Suigetsu placed his finger on the glass and traced the sword through the glass, "I'd give that blade about three weeks before it gets dull."
"Thank you." Neji actually sort of appreciated the compliment, even though he knew the other said it to mostly save face. He was almost used to it, anyway.
"If you’re lost, I wouldn’t mind giving you directions. However, if you’re simply looking for a date, there are plenty of lovely women in this village."
"Yeah, not really so lost it was just a ploy." He admitted blankly, as he stared at the others. "You must be a Hyuuga. I heard about your kind with the cool eyes."
Suigetsu was staring at Neji, that is what they call the Byakugan. "So.. can you see through clothes?"
Sakura looked around, confused. Was he talking to me? She didn’t know whether to be complimented or creeped, but she smiled politely. She couldn’t quite place him, but Sakura knew he looked familiar— maybe it was the teeth. Didn’t matter now, she guessed. “Are you really? Or is this some strange pick up line I should be worried about? If you’re really lost, though…”
"It's a strange pick up line, but I wouldn't be worried." He tilted his head and looked into her eyes. Familiar..
Suigetsu clasped his hands together as he put together the pieces, pink hair, red outfit, green eyes. This was the creepy psychopath that stalked Sasuke? Or.. well thats what he concluded after what Sasuke described, "Huh, strange." Sasuke didn't say anything about her being cute, but he decided not to roll the dice because this pink-haired demon hit a lot harder than Karin.
"I thought you were someone else, excuse me." Since it didn't seem like she knew who he was it was best not to get involved with her.
"You looked like my girlfriend, but I just got the wrong person." He brushed past her and snickered, "And that wasn't a strange pick up line either."

Zetsu turned around to see Sasuke’s soggy minion standing behind him. He quickly turned his back to Suigetsu again.
"Who’s that?" whispered White Zetsu.
“Hozuki Suigetsu, Sasuke’s underling," Black Zetsu muttered back.
"Heeeeeeey, his name rhymes with ours!" exclaimed White Zetsu.
“Shh—!" Black Zetsu shushed, turning them back around to face Suigetsu. "I could ask you the same," Black Zestu finally replied. "It’s not common to see Hebi— Taka— Kaeru— whatever you’re called now-a-days in these parts. You’d think Sasuke would make it taboo.”
He stared at them as they bickered, and was rather patient. It was amusing to see a plant fight with itself.. but at the same time he didn't like being insulted!
"H-Hoy! I'm not an underling! I'm just a partner. Like hell would I want to be him!" He grumbled as he crossed his arms, "Taka-... or Hebi..." He closed his eyes in frustration, a brain fart had arrived and he forgot his current team name. "Sh-Shut up! Why don't you go eat shit! Isn't that was plants usually do."
Oh perfect, he should buy fertilizer for them.
"I am supposed to be looking for some dumb scroll, but I came to Konoha to get some food." His stomach growled, "I'd ask you to join but I don't think they serve flies or small frogs."
Now Suigetsu was growing to be a nuisance. “You can drag the horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” He answered, even though he had a feeling that the words would be lost on the white-haired boy. “Your sensei obviously didn’t guide you, then.”
He sighed and resigned to going with Suigetsu. “Hai hai, I’ll go with you. Only to see if the tea is any good.” He began to lead the nin towards the shop. He had an inkling of an idea that this tea shop was not traditional based on how much Sakura gushed about the decorations. Frilly and pink, he was expecting. “Do you enjoy things other than jello and pudding?”
"Oh so you never been there yourself?" Suigetsu asked, happily clasping his hands together and rubbing them. "Im getting excited, I don't think I've eaten at all today!" Kakashi's small talk was rather pointless, but it was interesting to see him pry for such friendly information, "Anything drinkable I guess.. my least favorite food is fried cuttlefish."
They arrived at a-.. very.. feminine.. teenage.. tea shop. "Wow." Suigetsu saw all the frills and pink and the kids walking in and out, and instantly said, "Baaaakashi, I didn't know you were a professional pedophile."
Pushing off from where he was sitting, Sasuke let out an inaudible sigh. There wasn’t any getting out of this. He’d have to put up with these people until they reached Suna. Well, on the bright side, it wasn’t too far away. The boy merely started walking in the direction of Suna, assuming the two would follow.
"He’ll know where to find us when he gets up."
"Karin too." He exclaimed as he held out a black marker, "Since she was passed out I directions on her face." Evil at its finest, but more importantly since Sasuke was alongside he couldn't go babe hunting.
Unless...
"Do you want to go babe-hunting." He said with an inaudible breath as he was a little skeptical about asking Sasuke to do such a thing.
"I-.. I meant BBQ do you want to eat BBQ."
Despite being addressed, TenTen’s attention was directed towards something much more interesting than another lost tourist: a brand new hatchet with a floral engraving in the wooden haft on sale. She pressed her nose against the shop window, a small circle of steam forming on the glass, “Hnnh,” she whined, “I need it!”
He was getting ignored, how lovely. Though his attention was taken towards the hatchet she was admiring. The craftsmanship was okay, but he didn't like any other weapon but swords. "Pft, it looks dumb." He slid to the other side of her and stared at a Onyx tainted katana. "Now that is a blade! Much better than some shitty axe."
It took Neji a full five seconds to realize the young man was referring to him. He turned to him and passively stated, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not a lady.”
That was not a ladys voice.
"....."
"H-Hoy! You-.. are a pretty guy." Well he didn't want to insult the other, but Suigetsu was utterly disappointed.
Naruto stared at the blade in amazement, nodding as the person went on and on about wanting all of the blades. Being the leader of that group meant that you had to be a missing-nin, and super strong… Wait a minute. So he’s a ninja, but what village is he from? Is he a missing-nin?! Naruto’s smile quickly faded and he was filled with curiosity.
"Wait, so you’re a missing-nin?!" he asked the man, mouth agape. He knew better than to judge a person based on their status — especially after learning about Sasuke’s brother. He was a missing-nin, but that didn’t mean he was a bad person.. But just who was this guy, anyway?!
"Well.. I wouldn't call myself a missing-nin.. because I don't think I'm missing." Oh the terrible puns, but Suigetsu only continued to walk as he found Naruto to be rather amusing.
"What's with the dumb face? Did you forget something at home?"
"Is it a girl?" Oh eyebrow wiggle and a flash of his sharky teeth. "Is it?"
