Tsunade wasn't terribly impressed with the toad which had just thrown up on her desk.
Despite that what he threw up was a scroll roughly three times his own size.
"Gamahippi? Don't do that again," noted Tsunade.
"Like wow, man, that kinda hurt," noted Gamahippi, working his jaw back and forth. "Anyway, there's a copy of details for Suna, as it kinda involves one of their kunoichi and all."
"Really?" asked Tsunade, reaching for the scroll. She worked with slugs after all, a little toad spit was inconsequential.
Goldshire:
"Heya, you the tank?" asked a rather large and muscular man.
"Ah, y-y-yes," said Hinata, glancing furtively at where Naruto was doing a handstand on a mailbox.
"Huh, two druids?" asked the guy, momentarily confused. "Oh. So is he the healer or is dee-pee-ess?"
"Pardon?" asked Hinata.
"Newbie eh?" asked the big guy, who then brandished a positively huge sword. "Well, I'm Garvin the Elder. And before you ask, I have no idea why except there must be a younger guy named Garvin. I guess. My specialty is doing massive damage, an Arms specialist. Tanks are the ones who are the big obvious threat that gets in the face of an opponent and keeps 'em from attacking the soft squishy targets. No offense, Jonnh."
"None taken," said a VERY short balding guy with a pointy moustache. "Jonnh the Gnome, as you can see. I'm a Discipline Priest but I'll be handling your basic healer duties."
"Ah?" asked Hinata.
"That means whenever you get injured, Jonnh casts healing magic on you so you can concentrate on keeping the attention of whatever we're fighting," said Garvin.
"Ah," said Hinata with a nod to show she understood. She bowed lightly. "I am Hinata Hyuga. This is Naruto Uzumaki."
"The one who just fell off the mailbox and puffed away into smoke?" asked Jonnh.
"Uhm, yes," said Hinata, clearly disappointed.
"Probably just got pulled off for some task, Away For Key tasks, we just usually call it 'AFK' and before you ask - I have no idea why," said Jonnh with a shrug. "We can usually find damage specialists without much problem."
"How about me?" asked Temari, winking at the Hyuga princess as she walked up.
"Cool," said Garvin. "That's four. We should do some questing until we hit fifteen, then use the dungeons."
"'Fifteen'?" asked Hinata.
"Level," supplied Temari. "Apparently that's how they keep track of skill in these class-things around here."
"You don't even know that much?" asked Garvin, not hiding his surprise. "Where did you come from, Outland?"
"Even further," said Temari.
Garvin scratched his head but then shrugged and decided to just go with it. "Okay, you've got your books right? Invoke the 'look' function and check out the group."
.Jonnh Beegud.
.Level 10 Priest.
.Discipline.
.Tailor. Enchanting.
.Hinata Hyuga.
.Level 10 Druid.
.Feral.
.Temari of the Sands.
.level 10 Paladin.
.Retribution.
"You are so weird, Jonnh," said Garvin.
"I'll want to hear about these other skills later," said Temari. "In the meantime, we should get busy."
"Right, quests," agreed Garvin. "I'll go talk with the Marshall over there. There's always crap needs doing around here."
Stormwind:
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know. He was just there when suddenly he clutched his head and collapsed."
Jiraiya looked at Naruto, briefly examining him, then shrugged his shoulders. "No. I've seen this before. He had several shadow clones going and then returned to him, he's just dazed from having several sets of memories hit him all at once."
"Gah," said Naruto.
"See, he's already recovering," pointed out Jiraiya.
Goldshire:
"I thought we were just going to do these missions with just ourselves," said Temari softly to Hinata.
"Word was sent back that most of them are doing something called 'quest chains'?" said Hinata.
"Whatever," said Temari, looking over the two that were apparently old acquaintances and chatting about some champions that were fighting in some sort of 'Argent Tournament' - something like a Chunin Exam personal combat round if she understood it correctly. Both of them seemed entirely too simple for them to be spies or something, and both were knowledgeable about this world. Which had been one of her objections to just pairing up with other transferees. She DID spare a glance at where she knew some of their guards were hanging around, just in case. If something went seriously wrong, that was their backup plan.
"Excuse me?" said a young girl, fidgeting. "I'm told you need another 'damage-specialist'?"
"Two gathering skills?" asked Jonnh. "Planning on getting rich or helping your friends?"
"Or both?" asked Garvin, grinning what seemed to be his usual big grin.
"Why the latter, of course," stated Haku. "Shall we start?"
"Okay, the bandits have been operating out this way," said Garvin, starting out.
