Kushimaru: *walking down the docks with Jinin* so....you honestly believe that this clown is a good candidate to use the splash sword?
Jinin: yes, he has the arm strength, very little fear of getting hurt using the sword and has the hands of a surgeon. Absolutely astounding if I do say so myself.
Kushimaru: pffts, hands of a surgeon? Really sir?
Jinin: yes. For someone to use the splash sword, they must know the right amount of balance, strength and have the utmost concentration when using it. For any amount of pressure, impact or even a slight touch... would be disastrous to everyone within a 50 kilometer radius.
Kushimaru: hopefully he makes for a good part-*noticed he and Jinin had stopped in front of the world's most shabiest dingy.* Oh no.
Jinin: what's the matter?
Kushimaru: no there has to be some mistake you can't be referring to-
Jinpachi: *busts out from the door haul singing drunkenly and ends his shanty with a mild crack to his voice* 🎶Oh!!! Soran...! A flighty seagull twitters in excitement! *Walks with a little kick* As it sees my bare skin, glistening with ocean *stomps and jazz hands* suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurf!🎶 *Looks at Jinin who's unimpressed by this display and at Kushimaru who is officially a broken man at this point*
Kushimaru: *falls to his knees and just stares at Jinin in disbelief*
Jinpachi: *squints his eyes due to his impairment* heeeeeeey, aren't you that tall kid back at the academy? Kush-kush-....ugh....Kushimoto?
Kushimaru: THATS KUSHIMARU KURIARARE TO YOU PATHETIC DRUNK.
Jinpachi: *turns to Jinin* oh!! Jinin sensei~ *tries to bow but he jumps on to the deck, turn faces Jinin and face plants into the deck*
Jinin: ah good morning Jinin, a little early for um... drinking?
Jinpachi: *gets up* ah yes! That why I'm weening myself off of sake so I can *hic* learn to drink in *hic* moderation.
Jinin: interesting approach but I'm afraid you'll have to...ween a little bit more coldly if you want to make sure your partner doesn't get the business end of your sword.
Kushimaru: *scrambles to Jinin* pleasesiryoucantdothistome!
Jinin: kushimaru, this will also be a good chance for you to learn how to be a team player.
Kushimaru: but I already AM a team player!
Jinin: as much as you're expertly coordinated with your faction of Anbu, I'm afraid you've picked up a very unfortunate battle tactic of using your wires and not caring for anyone with the field of range of your wires..... including your own kinsmen.
Kushimaru: *kinds sinks into to himself a little knowing he's failed to comeback with a living partner the past few times.*
Jinin: and I KNOW you have... preferences in those parties.
Kushimaru: *knowing Jinin is referring to the fact he's only let Anbu survive and not regular jonin* ......but please anyone but him.
Jinpachi: don't worry skinny penis, *chugs a few more sips and puts his arm around kushimaru* I will not hit you with the splash sword.
Kushimaru: damnit when's the last time you took a shower you smell like runoff.
