"You want to practice Genjutsu and Kenjutsu?" Han asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm not an expert, but I can show you the basics at least. You'll have to find your own teacher later on though."
"Huh, why?" Saya asked, blinking. "Can't you get me some?"
He stared at her in disbelief. Ganjobu snorted.
"You seriously don't know?" Han asked.
"She lives under a rock, her family has some kind of creepy religion," Ganjobu explained. Saya rounded on him angrily.
"Shut up!" She shouted. Budew echoed it with some kind of trill.
"Hey no fighting," Han said automatically. "Anyways, Saya, your teammates can explain it to you afterwards. It's time to focus on training."

Everything hurt. Again. Even Budew was knocked out on its back. Saya watched as Han strolled out of the training grounds with a merry smile on his face.
Sadistic bastard. She sat up.
"So ..." She trailed off. "Why can't sensei set us up with other teachers?"
"He's the jinchuuriki, dumbass," Ganjobu grunted out.
"What?" She said.
"The container for the demon, a weapon for Iwagakure to use against their enemies," Sousen said quietly.
"Oh. Okay I guess." Saya said, confused. Demon? Weapon?
"Wow, you're stupid," Ganjobu said, shaking his head. "I'll put it simple. No one likes him."
"Shut up! Or I'll have Budew absorb your chakra again!" She yelled. Ganjobu made a face.
"I don't know how that demon can stand your stupid summon's attack. It hurts," he complained. Saya launched herself at him and they scuffled in the dirt. Sousen shook his head.

Budew was easy to take care of at least. She watered her and fed her dirt. Sometimes her leaves would fall off and she'd make tea packets out of them. It's what their ancient device called the Pokedex said to do. Her family was ecstatic that she'd pass her exam and given her the Pokedex and scroll for her use. The week went by quickly, with sensei training them. Then sensei showed up as she was about to leave the house for training. She stared at him.
"Er, sensei, what are you doing?" Saya asked.
"Walk with me through the village," he ordered. She internally shrugged and walked with him. Soon, there were whispers all around, that were badly hidden.
"Is that the demon with a child?"
"I heard he got a genin team."
"Awful. He'll get them killed."
"I bet he just eats them."
Saya couldn't believe her ears. How could these people disparage a jounin of Iwagakure??
Han grabbed the back of her shirt as she angrily lunged at someone for a particularly horrific comment and they disappeared up on the rooftops.
"Saya, this is the world of a jinchuuriki," he said, uncharacteristically stoic. "These are the words I have heard all my life."
"I ... why?"
"I have a demon sealed inside of me but all they see is the demon. The Tsuchikage has been pressuring me to release you three into another jounin's care. If you wish, I can do that," He said, patting her head. "If you continue to be my student, eventually you'll have to endure the same sort of scorn I do."
What do you say?
[ ] No way! You're my teacher and you're stuck with me. Fuck the haters!
[ ] Yes, I'd like to change teachers.
[ ] Write In.
"I see." He said, face unreadable. "Before that, we have a mission. C rank one to be exact."
"We haven't even done D-ranks!" Saya protested.
"No one's going to allow me near their children or paint fences," Han reminded her. "I am also a very strong shinobi that cannot be off the roster for too long."
What mission do you take?
[ ] Guard a businessman named Gatou in Wave.
[ ] Do a border patrol around Konoha's border.
[ ] Rebuild multiple bridges to prevent Kannabi bridge from ever happening again.
