Description Team Yori meeting up with Team Guy. And it's very odd meeting indeed. I honestly don't know what got me started drawing this, just that I wanted to do something with both teams, started sketching and this is what happened. At first I wasn't sure who to put with who, but again that just kinda happened. So we have little Kaori with Neji, who for some reason thought he was an enemy ninja and punched him in the stomach before saying hello. Then we have little Guy with Tenten who would rather be running around and is probably embarrassed he got pulled into a hug so easily. (Irony I know. ) Then Lee and little Junichi, who despite his 'tough talk' is probably lazy enough he hasn't even made it to his first strike. He also probably isn't sure what Lee is even saying to him. This is before they graduated the academy so I'd say Kaori, Guy and Junichi are around six.

I think I'd like to do one with older Team Yori and little Team Guy soon to.

Anyways hope you guys like it, critique is always welcome!

wonder how Gai would react? Although I'm surprised TenTen wasn't paired with Kaori, Lee with mini-Gai, & Neji with Junichi.

^_^ Thank you. Lil Gai is not used to sitting still at all. He wants to play with the big explosive weapons. I'm glad you like it. ^_^

I imagine Gai was one of those kids that ran around playing all day and didn't stop until he fell asleep of fatigue..

I laughed when I saw this. I'm not sure who would have it rougher, little Team Yori trying to go about their business or older Team Guy trying to keep track of them. Either way it would be babysitting mission to remember!

innocent-rebel In reply to Mechanical-Dragon [2011-10-08 03:39:36 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad it made you laugh. Me neither! I think it'd be rough for both of them, because little team Yori just wants to go do what they're gonna do and have fun. Meanwhile older Team Guy suddenly understands what it's like to actually look at the dangers of things for little kids, but since one of those kids will one day be their sensei, it's kinda like how do they tell him what to do?! Though for some reason I don't think Neji would have a problem with it.

Neji would probably get a kick out of it. How often do you get a chance to tell your sensei to lay down and take his nap? XD

innocent-rebel In reply to Mechanical-Dragon [2011-10-09 14:27:01 +0000 UTC]

Not often. He might wish he could, but now it would seem like his sensei would have to listen to. For about five minutes before snuck away with the rest. Poor Neji, he'd never live it down if he 'lost' their sensei!

Thank you. Glad you like it so much! That makes my day! I'm still not sure how I paired them up this time, but I'm glad it turned out cute and the poses worked. Kaori seems to be the favorite, and I bet she loves it. lol. Plus she can now join a very short list of those who have landed a hit on Neji. I'm so glad you like it.

Well I'm glad! No one stands a chance against a six year old Kaori! And the fact she was able to do that probably confirms in their minds that : "yep. This was Guy's girlfriend."

innocent-rebel In reply to atemuzuko [2011-04-27 02:40:31 +0000 UTC]

Neji really is. He bullies, but not in the typical bully fashion and really it's more like he gets provoked half the time. Although pushing Kaori in any way may result in a small Guy flying at him and trying to put him in a headlock and take him down.

atemuzuko In reply to innocent-rebel [2011-04-27 03:11:32 +0000 UTC]

Poor Neji is attacked by children He'd have to juuken Guy or something to get him off lol. And then TenTen and Lee would get all sorts of mad at him for juukening a child, and Kaori would probably kick him in the shin

innocent-rebel In reply to atemuzuko [2011-04-27 03:18:16 +0000 UTC]

Neji just has that kind of target on him that kids zone in on. Poor Guy. I can just see him flying backwards all confused as to what just happened. Poor Neji to. Because his defense of 'he started it!" probably wouldn't work that well against juukening a child that also happened to be their sensei later in life. I could totally see Kaori doing that. That and biting him.

By the way I've seen some of your recent WIP's and I just wanted to let you know how awesome they look!

atemuzuko In reply to innocent-rebel [2011-04-27 03:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Neji would totally be put in time out poor poor Neji! Kaori might have to join him though for biting. That is very unyouthful sportsmanship after all

Oh thank you ! I've wanted to finish them...I just hate shading . But now that I am done with school as of about 11 am tomorrow for the summer, I will get tons of stuff done

innocent-rebel In reply to atemuzuko [2011-04-27 03:22:50 +0000 UTC]

I can totally see Tenten putting Neji in a corner. He'd be so confused but the second he tried to leave she'd whip out a huge weapons scroll, just daring him. Meanwhile Lee is in the process of holding back Guy from trying to attack again and Junichi is just taking notes. LOL. If Kaori wound up in timeout with Neji, I could totally see her sitting back to back with him all sulking and going: -_- I don't like you!

You're welcome! ^_^ ugh shading is the worst. >____< It sucks. Dude that's awesome!! How did your Japanese final go?

I'm glad you like them! It was a lot of fun drawing little kids. I don't know whose my favorite, I just want to hug them all! Poor Neji though, getting punched by someone who comes up to his waist is not what he expected. And something his team will never let him live down. If I did Older Team Yori with little Team Gai who do you think should be with each other? I'm stuck between just swapping it or mixing it up.

You know what's funny? Happened to my Dad yesterday . One of his 5-year-old primary kids was mad because she didn't get any of her candy until after dinner, and he got the brunt of it.

Hm...I think you should mix it up with who is most like them . Mostly with Neji and young Guy and Lee and young Junichi with TenTen and Kaori . Because that would be hilarious.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2011-04-25 19:14:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh man your poor dad! It's surprising what a punch little kids can pack. Especially when candies involved.

Oh that would be hysterical! Poor Lee. Why do I see Junichi educating him in the way of matchmaking/pranks? And Neji and Guy... along with Tenten and Kaori...that's trouble waiting to happen. Especially because Kaori can teach Tenten how to win even more fights with Neji.

Yes, my poor father. Five year old's on Easter are nothing to mess with.

And discussing art. Lee and Junichi would have so much fun . Win more fights and charm him .

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2011-04-25 19:25:55 +0000 UTC]

Totally not! My brother helped out in the nursery yesterday to and he was totally beat by the end.

They would have a blast discussing art, and more than likely Junichi would turn Lee onto comic books. Which could be good or bad depending upon how much blackmail Lee might use if he were to write his own. Oh definitely win more fights and charm him. And when that didn't work, Kaori could always show her how pure terror worked nicely to. Numbuh 3 from KND is the closest thing to a Kaori freakout I can imagine.

Hopefully Yori had some help if she was doing all the babysitting. Otherwise Konoha would be in trouble.

I think children have some kind of bat radar. It goes off whenever a victim gets close enough that they've identified as a chew toy. I always get identified as one.

What do you mean? Like older Guy how he is now with his team or teen Guy and a teen Yori? *feels slow*

Older Guy like he is with his team, and Yori as she was when they were children.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2011-04-25 19:51:58 +0000 UTC]

You know...I'm honestly not sure. I never thought about it before. I guess I think Yori would get an absolute kick out of Guy's team and how he handles them. Probably she'd feel pretty much like karma was finally on her side with everything he had to deal with with them. Though I think she might also be worried about all the insane training he lets them do. Because right then all she'd see is him okaying potential death. She'd probably also have cracked him over the head for letting Lee learn about the eight gates (something I think she was mad at Guy for learning to). She'd probably be a good person to talk to to for things like dealing with Tenten as she gets older and maybe because she is from a clan, might be able to help with at least explain some of the politics with Neji's family.

I think Guy would get along really well with younger Yori to. I think he'd be a bit confused as to why she was so worried over certain things because bruises can teach a lot pretty quickly. I also think he'd realize just how much she put up with and see through fresh eyes how strong she had to be. He'd probably try to convince her to try some kind of insane training though. I also think he'd be really proud that she was one of the few female senseis assigned a team. He'd probably be good to talk to to about some of her worries and dealing with a team and worrying about screwing up. Because as young as Yori was when she got her team, I can imagine her having lots of fears and doubts about it.

What do you think about how they'd get along?

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2011-04-25 20:04:36 +0000 UTC]

I think you about summed it up. But I can't stop thinking about how badly he'd want to try and warn her about what was coming. Try and save her from what he knows is an awful fate.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2011-04-25 20:10:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh man I know. It'd be so hard because I think a part of him would know he couldn't alter reality and what happened, but not saying anything...it's like he's losing them all over again. And seeing how the teams get along it's almost like seeing what could have been. Especially with what happens to Yori, it's like he'd want so badly to make sure no matter what she remembered and not know how to do it. I think if somehow the teams did wind up meeting, like getting pulled back in time or something, the leaving would be the hardest part for Guy. Because he knows as soon as they go back, they're going to die. And if his team knew to...

I just think for a minute Guy might just be unable to let Yori out of a very long hug.

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2011-04-25 20:14:59 +0000 UTC]

I agree, he'd hold onto her so tight, and not want to let her go. It would be so hard for him to say good bye again. And to Kaori, particularly after seeing how good she could be for TenTen.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2011-04-25 20:26:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah. Because he'd see someone who not only could relate to Tenten about being a kunoichi, but who was a blend of being strong and being feminine at the same time. Someone that could help Tenten bring the two parts of herself together, and be a great mother figure in place of what Tenten's seen all her life. Plus the fact that Kaori was Guy's first love...that to would just be heartbreaking.

For some reason I can picture Guy taking off to where Yori is and even if he knows things won't be different, hoping that somehow they are. I think it'd be really unnerving for his team in a way when they got back. Not just because of what they saw, but now it's like those people that are gone were people they knew and had a connection to and so it's like they lost them as soon as they met them. For Neji in particular, I think that'd be hard.
