Yes and Yes

John had managed to get another scroll from a Team from Kusa, it was a Heaven Scroll luckily. John decided not to waste any more time and head straight to the check-in point. As soon as he arrived he noticed no one else was there, turns out he was first to arrive, but when the second team arrived, oh boy what a mess!

John was reading the Latest Of the Make-out Series written by the Pervy Sage called Jiraiya, when he was halfway through the book, the door opened and he turned around and the faces of the team that arrived turned to utter disbelief. ''John? W-what? H-h-how?'' Says the Blonde. ''I take it your my old team from before the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?'' Asks John as he recovers more of his memories. ''Never mind I remember now, I was on a mission to the Land of Water, I was Ambushed, and with next to no memory I joined the Mists Shinobi, long story short I won't be returning to the Sand with you, I have a duty to the Mist. Have a good day.'' Says John as he takes his leave to speak with Chõjūrõ.

Heading back to his room he Found Chõjūrõ cleaning Hiramekarei. ''See you followed my advice, Ran into my old squad from the Sand before, regained some more of my memories. Listen Chõjūrõ, I want you to forego the Preliminaries, and when the Exams become open to the Public I want you by my side.'' Says John as he Sharpens his Kubikiribōchō with A Whetstone enhanced by Wind-Style Chakra. ''Oh there's something else, When the moon rises full meet me at the gates of the Uchiha Clan Compound. You need to see something.''
