For many, the quality of life over these past years had begun to take a sharp down turn. It was hard to keep your chin up when people around you were constantly slaughtered or otherwise died in some heroic way, alas still taken from this mortal realm. But, perhaps things would change with a new generation beginning to come around still filled with hopes and dreams that had yet to burn out.

Among those fresh from the Academy was Riku Senju who had only just met his squad just a few days prior. Although, his energy was perhaps too much for some people. Riku was sitting at a small park in the middle of Konoha, resting in a place between a great amount of wooden poles of varying heights. They didn't serve much purpose until now, as at the top of each one was an empty soda bottle that Riku had gathered from his own house and wherever convenient and not nasty enough to irk the pompous bastard.

He took glances in between the scroll he was holding and to the bottles, although this couldn't be seen under the dark, kamina glasses he had on him. The scroll had a large list of many water jutsu that Riku was trying to learn, the particular selection he had settled on today was listed as "Water Release: Mouth Shot".

A relatively basic water ninjutsu that didn't even need the use of hand seals, although because of that its function was relatively rudimentary. Riku got the idea of it, but despite his furthered proficiency in ninjutsu and chakra control compared to the rest of his graduating generation he found a struggle awkwardly trying to gather what little chakra was necessary without having those hand seals.

Sitting by himself, he seemingly kept trying to do what he could but everytime he'd try to shoot at one of the bottles above or at level with him what came out was just spittle that dropped to the near ground. Increasingly as time passed, despite the fact he was literally doing nothing to expend his energy, he became increasingly tense and drew heavy breaths like someone who was actually making effort in something. His training was a little lonely at the moment, wouldn't be so convenient for the sake of RP if some person were to bring along an interested character Riku could interact with. Oh, the odds.
