Breathing in deep, Rain sat up from her bed in shock, the same dreams had been haunting for a while now and all she felt was guilt. Brushing her fingers through her long, loose curled, red hair Rain let out a sigh before lefting her legs out of the bed and getting to her feet. Heading first to the bathroom, Rain let the scolding water, casscading down her back wash the memories away. Today she had her first one on one training session with Nobu-Sensei and she felt determain to give it all she had as the chuunin exams were getting close and she wanted to make it through. Getting out of the shower Rain had fully dressed herself and was now standing in her kitchen sipping a hot cup of coffee, Her blue eyes looked out the window above her sink, as she starred out into the foggy haze her mind began to drift. Snapping back to the real world Rain glanced up at the clock and noticed she was going to be late, "Crap." she said before tipping her cup upside down in the sink and running to the front door. Cramming her feet into her black, open toe sandals she dashed from the door slamming it behind her and starting off in a sprint. Through the small forest seperating her house from the outter districts and around the path that lead around the outskirts Rain ran at her top speed jumping and weaving every so often to avoid the early morning traffic of bodies going about their business, which consisted of 4 or 5 people. Coming around the village Rain darted out the Southern gate and up the worn dirt path that veared off from the main road only then to burst out of a tree line into the Kirigakure training ground. Sliding to a stop she stood panting and looked around the clearing, still the morning mist hung low rolling across the massive field in slow calm manner. Rocks potruded out from the grassy plain in all directions some small and some huge but Rains eyes were scanning for her trainer knowing that hes bound to be here, maybe. Her blue stare scanned everything as far as her eye can see and came up with nothing, was she early, did she read the time wrong? she questioned her self as she continued to look around for the man, Nobu-sensei.

~Nobu sits outside of his house on the rooftop, watching as the sun slowly began to rise. He looks around and watches birds flew past his face. Soon after the sun had come up, he looked down the road from the rooftop, noticing that his student had left in quite a hurry to get to the training grounds. He thought to himself of how he was going to handle the duties as a Jounin. He leaps down from the rooftops and lands firmly on his feet, before he starts to walk, following his student to the training grounds. He soon arrives at the south gates noticing that if he was to ensure her safety, he would have to pick up the pace and follow behind her. He begins to run silently, following her to the training grounds. Along the way he kept a sharp eye out for any possible threats, and begins catching up to his student following closer behind her. A few minutes had gone by as he watched his student come to a stop. Nobu leaps up into a treetop and stands there in it while remaining silent as he watched her look around. "Sighs. Well today is certainly going to be a busy day for me. I got my hands full with this Child." He thought to himself as he leaps down behind her a few minutes after she came to a stop and was looking around for me. "Hello Rain. I am your New Sensei. I see you got here in quite a hurry." He said to her. Nobu then begins to walk towards the arena and leaps down into it landing flat on his feet. He then turns around and looks at Rain. "Today we will begin with our first lesson. Your objective is to try and take these bells out of my hand." Nobu spoke to her once more as he looked at her. Nobu had confidence in his young student as he then stood there and watched his student, seeing how she was going to try and take the bells from his hand being the only one here. The banners surrounding the arena began to move as the wind began to pick up and move across the land. The fog soon fully disappeared and the grass could be seen clear as day. A water fall in the distance soon could be seen and a a river surrounding the small island. was revealed. In the distance a small house could also be seen. He continued to stare at his student and ready for her to make her move, patiently waiting for her to try and take the bells away from him.~

Standing there for a second Rains eyes scanned over her new sensei and took in his apparence, White hair, with silver streaks contrasted against the dark jounin outfit that he wore and his black eyes. "Bells?" she thought before rolling her eyes, this attitude was frequent with her but she never really ment it. Putting her hands on her hips rain watched the man in a calculating manner, having quickly come up with a plan Rain began to act on it. Slowly Rain brought her hands up to meet together at her chests level and she formed out hand signs before speaking under breath. "Water style: Hidden mist jutsu." as the last word escaped her lips an abuntant flow of mist poured forth filling the arena and whole training field in a thick fog, limiting visibility to a three foot radius. As soon as Rain felt hidden in the mist she preformed the Tiger seal, collecting her chakra to create three clones ending up with four Rains in total. As the clones formed Rain spread them out surrounding the area, reaching into her vest pocket Rain gripped 2 of her Kunai and held them close to her ready to swing at the Jounin the moment she came into contact with him. Charging forward Rain jumped high into the air breaking out of the hidden mist barrier to look down at the scene, seeing her Sensei standing there Rains immediate action was to throw the two kunai she held down on his head. At the same time Rain threw the Kunai 2 of her clones began their charge in on the Sensei, both with kunai drawn, as the clones neared Nobu-Sensei on dropped to the ground in a sliding fashion aiming one foot in a slide kick to his legs while the other clone jumped slightly going for a round house kick to the back of head. Mean while the third clone stood back holding a kunai and paper bomb at the ready to throw should her plan back fire.

~Nobu watches as his student has started off with a basic jutsu used by the strongest generation of the 7 Swordsman of the Hidden Mist. He watched as the visiblility had been reduced to where he can only see about 3 feet out in front of him. He notices that it began getting harder and haqrder to see and begins concentrating by closing his eyes and visualizing where his student was. After a few moments went by, He opens his eyes as he started hearing her running up on him from both sides. He thought to himself as he watched his student try to pull off a coupe de grace attack by positioning herself on the left and right side. Nobu then looks up seeing that she had hurled 2 kunai's that headed directly for his head. He moved his head to the left first avoiding the fisrt kunai then moving his head to the right, avoiding both of the kunais as they stuck in the ground behind him. He then notices movement on both of the left and right of him. Nobu knew this was her clones coming in ready to strike. Nobu reaches for one of the kunai's that she had thrown at him earlier. With swift movement. he quickly leans down grabbing the kunai that is closest to him as he dodges her first clone and delivers a powerful kick with his right leg. The clone vanishes from the impact and throws the kunai he had picked up from the ground at the other one causing it to vanish also. "Heh not bad for a kiddo like you Rain, but you must concentrate and focus harder if you are going to get these bells from me. Also you need to learn to conserve your chakra more too." Nobu said to his student with a smile on his face as he held up both of the bells where is student could see them. He weaves the "Horse" handseal creating two identical Water clones of himself. "Alright Rain I want to see you defend yourself from one of my clones. and try to get close to me and take these bells." as Nobu said to her with the first clone swiftly moving in towards her with no intention of killing her, but to demonstrate how to effectively use the clone Technique. The Water clone starts getting closer to her as it pulls out only a single kunai. Nobu knew that his clone could throw the kunai with deadly accuracy and speed but instead he threw it at a relatively low speed and aimed at her left shoulder so that it wouldnt kill his student but still fast enough that she is going to need to try hard to dodge it. If she is unable to dodge it, all the kunai would leave is a cut on her shoulder and cause a lot of pain.~

~Seeing the Kunai head for her Rain brought her hands up in a quick motion of a seal. "Water clone jutsu." she rapidly said, having the water clone appear below her while in mid air she looked down and watched as the clone gripped her ankles and pulled her down in a swift motion to avoid the flying kunai. Having successfully avoided the kunai, Rains recent clone, still holding her by the ankles, begins to spin Rain in the air to gain speed before firing Rain to the ground directly at the Nobu-Sensei clone who had thrown the kunai. As Rain herself flew towards the clone her recent clone grabbed out 3 Shurikin from a vest pocket and just before Rain reached the males clone on the ground she brought her body up in a flip redirecting her movement to land on the other side of the male, clone. As Rain herself began to flip the clone in the sky let loose the three shurikin to fly in her direction, though not hitting rain as she had flipped over and was now on the other side of the male, clone, the shurikin hurled towards the male clone intent on destroying it while the real Rain grabbed out a kunai to swing down and stab the clone should it deflect her shurikin some how. Meanwhile the clone standing in the background of the arena, who had been there the whole time, raised her hand, with a paper bomb strapped to a kunai in it, to swing back and then fly forward with all its strength. Shooting the kunai bomb towards Nobu-sensei the clone watched as it flew and stuck into the ground infront of him the impact of the kunai hitting the groundcause the trigger bomb to go off and begin to fizzle, this gives Nobu-sensei about five seconds to move otherwise he dies~

~He watched as over half of the mist had cleared up and noticed an explosive tagged kunai stuck into the ground a few feet in front of him. With quick reaction time, he had his water clone get between the paper bomb and where he stood. The paper bomb then explodes along with the kunai, creating shrapnel with the clone absorbing most of the impact as Nobu got knocked back a few feet by the shockwave alone. He comes to a sliding stop on the surface of the water by focusing chakra on the bottom of his feet, as he looked at his pupil and seen that she threw 3 shuriken directly at his other water clone to take it out. Nobu smiles as he watches her make good progress on her training with that surprise combo attack using, an explosive tagged kunai. "Good job Rain with that combo attack on my clones. I can see you are making progress on your training." Nobu stated with a smile on his face as his second clone disappeared from the shuriken that hit it. He looks at her as he still holds the bells up. "Alright Rain I want to see you can handle fighting while on the surface of the water." Nobu said to her with confidence in his voice as he tied the bells around a strap on his left side. Nobu looks at his student as he speaks up a bit. "Now I am going to make this a little more difficult for you." Nobu said to his student as he weaved the "Tiger" Handseal once more, creating a single water clone from the water that he stood on. He looks at his student as he had one of his water clones start weaving a set of handseals Snake → Ram → Horse → Hare → Ram → Horse → Hare → Snake → Ox → Clap Hands. "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" The clone swiftly rushes his student in an attempt to catch her in a water prison. Nobu stands there and watches how she is going to keep the water clone from catching her inside a water prison.~

As the Shurikin that Rains clone threw sliced through the clone infront of Rain herself she smiled, at the same time a loud bang echoed through the area as her other clone had thrown the exploding tag at Nobu-sensei. Spinning around Rain turned to see what had happen and if Nobu-sensei had managed to avoid the attack, as the dust cleared Rain spotted Nobu-sensei standing on the water a fair distance away and also another Nobu-sensei clone running at her. Pulling up the kunai she had been holding Rain flung the knife in a stright line towards the Clone while at the same time her other hand had grabbed another kunai and shortly after the first knife,she threw the second kunai too, hiding it in the shadow of the other Kunai heading directly for Nobu-senseis clone. With the first kunai being dodged by Nobu-senseis clone the clone didnt see the second and had the Kunai hit it in the chest before dispersing. Hearing her clone land behind her Rain turned to look at her remaining clones before turning back to look at Nobu, in a collective motion Rain and her Clones ran to the waters edge only to stop. Glaring at Nobu-sensei Rain bit her lip and looked down to the water, setting her brow in a firm look of concentration Rain clasped her hands together in the seal of Tiger and she began to focus her chakra. Collecting her chakra first in her belly Rain then pushed it downward to her feet, feeling safe that she had her chakra focused in the right spot Rain launched forward and landed perfectly on top of the water infront of Nobu-sensei. If its anything Rain had learnt in her days at the acadamy it was that water is not stable, it shifts and it moves constantly when in its liquid form there for to be able to walk on water you must apply and withdraw your chakra constantly to counter the waters constant motion. This helped Rain greatly in trying to learn to walk on the water, as she landed her two other clones then jumped into the air gripping 2 shurikin each, in unison both clones threw their shurikin towards Nobu-sensei one clone aiming for his right thy the other for his left. As this was happening Rain had swung her arm back and then propelled it forward in a striking motion to punch Nobu-sensei, aiming for his face, while her other hand swung out infront of her to grab the bells that he held, doing it in a snatch and punch fashion.

~Nobu looked at his student as he watched her take out his last water clone that he had created, using her kunai. His clone falls into a puddle of water as rain approached the edge of the water and stopped. Nobu looked at her wondering if she could manage staying on the surface of the water. He stands there remaining silent this entire time as he soon see's her Use the Tiger handseal and leaps onto the surface of the water and begins walking on the surface of the water, stumbling at first since she was only still learning how to. Nobu then looked at both of her clones as they had hurled shurikens at him, each of them only using two of them. Nobu with quick reflexes blocks 3 out of the 4 shuriken that was thrown at him. The last shuriken stuck into the thigh of his leg only leaving a small puncture wound as he the felt the side of his face connect with Rain's fist as he stumbled backwards noticing that she had gotten the bells like he had requested her to do. "Good Job Rain! You Passed with an A on your exam!" Nobu says to her, giving her the thumbs up as he lets her know that it was time to head back to the village and File the progress report at the Mizukage's office. Nobu then heads to his house for the evening as he climbs into bed and just lays there thinking that he will make a great Jounin for the future generation as he began to change and come to realization what it means to be a Jounin.~
