Azarias started to roll out of bed at around 9 AM sighing he'd reach over to the bird that was sitting there taking the scroll out of its back, he'd recently gotten out of the hospital for shattered ribs and it still stung abit in the mornings. He opened up the letters now, reading through it carefully then seeing who it was signed by.. It was O.. O was his new sensei and he was friends with Ieyasu, the one who'd saved his life.. He thought to himself now staring at the paper for a few moments. "This mans friend died to save my life.. how can I face him? I was completely useless in that fight.." He flashed back for a moment to the fight his ribs being shattered only in two blows from the man they'd been fighting.. Azarias wasn't even awake at the time too see his old sensei die.. He had to hear about it from Ranta.. All he could remember before being told that Ieyasu was dead was a flash in the sky of Ieyasu and the man fighting in the sky. He'd saved him and his other team mate Mushiki who he hadn't spoken too in six months.. He only just now noticed the tears welling up in his eyes, tears of shame that he hadn't been able to help. He got up letting the tears flow for a moment while he tossed on a T-shirt and some pants, strapping in a fuma shuriken too his back and his tanto into his belt he'd begin to walk out of his bed room at 9:30, wiping the tears from his eyes. Chidding himself silently now in his thoughts. "No more crying from now on.. You'll be strong if not for yourself, for Ieyasu.. He died protecting you and you aren't going to let him down.. especially not when you couldn't even stay awake to see it.." He tied his ninja headband around his wrist now, as he approached the bathroom to brush his teeth, not even bothering with his hair at this point, It'd grown out now he hadn't cut it in the six months he'd been in the hospital it was down to his shoulders now, just barely kept out of his eyes. He began to walk out of the door now, towards the training grounds.

He walked silently too the training grounds, only arriving at 9:55 too see a larger boy.. a Akimichi.. flinching at the sight of one he thought quietly "What if this guy is related too Ieyasu..? No you don't know that he's probably not related to him at all.." He'd stand there now at the entrance, staring down at his feet as he thought too himself again holding back the tears in his eyes. "How can I face him after I let Ieyasu died? And I wasn't even useful in that fight. And all I've progressed in the past six months is the Shadow Clone Jutsu? How can I even call myself a ninja.." He looked up at O now, a pain in his own eyes as he began to walk in, keeping a straight face trying his hardest not to frown as he approached. He spoke out quietly, lookin down at his feet again. "I'm here... I'm sorry about Ieyasu O I wish I could of been of more use in that fight.." he choked on his words continuing to hold back tears as he spoke, looking up over at Mushiki the pain in his eyes evident now.
