Vain: “I’m off.” Called a quiet voice, her eyes staring at a feminine figure upon a couch. She was hunched over, her own set of eyes focused on a newspaper. In response the woman shrugged, a heavy sigh leaving her lips as she turned to stare at the young girl with grey hair. “I wish you would just quit Yasu.” She responded, her dark eyes glaring at the childs own. Yasu’s brows furrowed as she glared at her mother “No.” she responded, her hands resting on her hips. The child’s actions were that of adult nature. Very straight to the point. Her eyes closed as she sighed at her mother, with a turn she’d head to the door. Yasu looked over her shoulder, her mother already turned around and focused on something else. The genin exited the house and walked through the village, her eyes watching those around her. ‘Never is it. “Have a good day Yasu.” Or “I love you Yasu.” …Sometimes I wish she just tried to understand.’ The female shaked her head and continued to the training grounds, which had been empty. ‘Finally alone..’ she nodded and jogged into the area. She’d stop and begin stretching. From there she began doing sit ups. She counted allowed, her mind focused on getting to 100.

Expo: Takuza would easily stride through the village as the sun was bright, the sky was beautiful and had very little clouds. His onyx eyes watched everyone carefully as he was simply looking to train to improve his own jutsu. After all, he needed to become stronger to protect and teach his students and above all to protect the hidden leaf. As he kept going he eventually arrived at the training grounds in which something caught him by surprise. He had noticed his own student Yasu being there all alone, he slowly approached her in a silent way and said as he got close enough “Hello Yasu, what brings you out here?” Her expressionless face made it hard to tell what emotions she was experienced so Takuza assumed she was fine and nothing was wrong. He crouched down and extended his right hand forward and patted her head with a large smile across his face. It showed that Takuza actually cared about her, Takuza was very loving of his students as he always tried to keep them safe and train with them as much as possible. But sometimes it was difficult to do so especially with his schedule of constant training to get stronger or his missions which were usually assigned to him due to his experience in completing them. He sighed showing a bit of his worried some emotion, it truly bothered him that he couldn’t identify if his student was happy or angry. The simple fact that she was alone in the training field meant something, but maybe Takuza was thinking too far ahead and assuming things. It was no matter, this was his mid process as he waited for Yasu to respond to him.

Vain: The voice broke the concentration, and she stopped counting at eighty. The child stood up and looked up, her eyes staring at her Sensei. She received a head pat, which caused a look of confusion on her face. It was weird to her how he cared, more so after learning her mother did not. “Good afternoon Takuza Sensei.” She responded, her arms folding in front of her. “I’m just spending another day training.” She responded, offering a light shrug. “There isn’t much else to do.” This was the reality to the child for she had no friends and was never social. She missed out on things like sleep overs, birthday parties….everything a normal child did, but the reality was she wasn’t normal. “I need to get ready for the chunnin exams and I feel that I’m not taking enough from training so I am working to make sure I am prepared.” She rambled, explaining her entire thought process to him. She learned a lot in training, but there was always room for improvement. This would be the first time her sensei heard her speak so much, and that was due to her respecting him. She didn’t really respect anyone other than him and the Hokage….but perhaps that was just because she didn’t hold everyone at the same amount of importance. Such thoughts like this were extremely rare for a child, but she strived to be one of the strongest ninja, to prove she could do it. “What brings you out?” she questioned curiously, her head tilting slightly. Perhaps if she was lucky he was here to train and she could learn something new…that’d be awesome. Expo: Takuza remained quiet and looked towards Yasu, she explained she was outside training as there was not much to do. Takuza then heard her explain how she felt as if she has been wasting time as the chuunin exams were coming up very soon. He sighed as she did have a point and Takuza needed to make sure she was prepared to ensure her survival through the exams. He smiled in a heart-warming way before standing up and stretching himself. He paused from stretching only to look back and say “If you work hard enough I might even pass down my special jutsu to you.” He said with a slight smirk across his face as he knew it would serve as dedication for her to keep working hard to achieve her goals. He then added to it “How about we train? I came here to train myself, but I see no harm in us working together to train.” He smiled again as the wind passed over his location, the wind easily caused his shirt and hair to flutter softly as he made no moves. His uchiha shirt consisting of his clan’s insignia upon the back. Not only that, but his long black luscious hair also danced in the process with his grey shinobi shorts. He also consisted of a ninjato upon his back which he barely used unless it was absolutely necessary. He then finished stretching as he walked back towards Yasu hoping she had followed the same things Takuza had did as training during stiffness was very difficult. His shinobi sandals digging into the soil of the ground allowing a ‘Clack’ like sound to suffice and resemble the solid structure of the ground. Takuza was easily calm he hoped Yasu was now ready to begin her training as Takuza would try his hardest to prepare her for the chuunin exams before they actually came.

Vain: The female nodded slowly, agreeing with the man. The talk of his special jutsu caught her attention and instantly he had caught her attention. She was questioning what exactly he had in mind, alas the child didn’t ask. It was obvious to her that if she was ready to know, she would. “Hai.” she responded, a light smile tugging at her lips. Yasu was happy that someone understood her wanting to push herself, someone who was willing to actually care about her wanting to get stronger. Her mother never truly understood it, nor did she care to. Kasu was very withdrawn now that Yasu had a team, and time would prove how this woman actually felt. Things were happening in the background, the woman at her wits end. She wanted to be a mom and raised her child, but now the child seemed to teach herself instead. The woman felt worthless, un appreciated, un loved. All the feelings would eat away at the woman’s thoughts. Yasu knew a bit about the feelings, but she had no idea how far they steamed, nor would she allow them to ruin what she wanted for her future. In a way the child was selfish. “Well, what are we going to do?” she questioned as she finished stretching. ‘I hope it’s something good.’ She thought over. In a way, she had been very excited to train one on one. As he walked back the female pulled out her kunai, spinning the circular end on her index finger. The breeze pushed her white locks in a lazy fashion. The onyx eyes studied her teacher, awaiting a response eagerly. Her hand stopped spinning the kunai briefly before spinning it the opposite way. ‘I wonder what the exams are like.’ She thought over, and her mind traveled to thinking of her mother. ‘Would she even come?’ she questioned internally, her face growing emotionless again. All sense of excitement drained from her face as she gripped the kunai tightly. Yasu wouldn’t care if Takuza took notice, and if asked on it she’d be honest. There was nothing to hide, she wasn’t ashamed of it. Her mother’s behavior was not her issue, and if something happened because of it…Yasu believed she was ready for it. The child couldn’t be more wrong…

Expo: Takuza kept calm and waited for Yasu to be ready her question reaching him and asking what they would do today. Takuza easily responded with “Today I will teach you a supplementary jutsu in which will be very helpful in the future.” He nodded as he was thinking of teaching her a jutsu as simple as Body flicker. Even though the jutsu was very simple, Takuza had gained a great mastery over it. This technique being one of his favorites to utilize as it allowed him to move at a high speed. He didn’t tell her exactly what jutsu she was going to learn though. But before training Takuza quickly noted the sour face she showed. “What’s wrong Yasu?” He asked concerned before placing his hand over her silver hair and ruffling it a bit. A smile across his face as he tried to keep her in a positive mood. Regardless of what she did, if she explained what was wrong Takuza would listen to her story and carefully understand the situation and say “Maybe some training will make you feel better?” But if she didn’t explain what happened Takuza would say the same thing as sometimes emotions weren’t ease to express in simple words. Before starting their training Takuza asked Yasu to run up the tree which was directly behind her. Takuza needed her to master chakra control on her feet to even learn the body flicker jutsu as the chakra was mostly concentrated towards the feet. He then waited to see if Yasu followed his directions. Takuza was calm and watched her carefully as if she had failed or passed Takuza would decide if he had time to begin working on his new jutsu in which he has only trained on once. Takuza was hopping to master his own custom technique eventually, but to do so time was needed.

Vain: The small child seemed lost in thought until he had asked what was wrong, rather instantly she shook her head and stared at him, her onyx eyes searching him for a moment before looking to the grass beneath her feet. The feeling of him ruffling her hair caused her eyes to close tightly, her brows furrowing as she attempted to control her emotions. Alas the task seemed rather impossible and her emotions hit at once. She took a shakey inhale, before allowing it to leave her lungs. As the air passed she looked back up to Takuza, swallowing hard. “I guess…” she paused, looking away from him. “No…I know, my mother hates me.” She murmured, her head shaking slightly. “Since dad left, it’s been…bad at home.” She bit her lip roughly for a moment, thinking over what to say. “She doesn’t want me to be a Shinobi.” Again, her voice was a whisper. The young Hatake was ashamed of this fact, more so because every day was a constant reminder of how different she was. All the other genin had families, and here she was, alone. The wedge between her and her mother caused more pain then she let on, and it was one of the sole reasons she was never home. At times physical assaults happened, but Yasu would never speak of that. “I just…don’t know what to do anymore.” She stated, as she pulled her hood over her head to hide the silent tear that ran down her cheek. “I keep thinking if I become strong I can find my father and things will get better…but they never get better.. Do they?” she question, her body twitching slightly as she crossed her arms, her gaze refusing to meet Takuza’s.

Expo: Takuza stood silent and listened to the young girl’s problems at home. He understood every aspect as he as well suffered a very similar life, but it was different in its own way. Takuza listened until she actually finished as he knew exactly how to cheer her up. After she finished speaking he said himself “I have almost the same life style. When I was younger my father knocked my mother up and left never to be seen again. I as well follow the path of becoming stronger to eventually find him.” He said keeping his gaze forward not making any eye contact as it was hard for a Jounin to extend his own feelings to his student. So he attempted to disregard the entire situation at hand and blanked his head out with the information of his father. He usually did this to have him forget about a lot of things in the past. After all the Uchiha clan was a very limited clan for a reason. He then added to his words “But talking more about that won’t solve anything. So trust me let’s get strong together shall we?” He extended his arm hoping for her to grab it so he can pull her off her behind so she can actually feel the motivation of becoming stronger. Takuza was very interested in this girl now, after all she proved to be very similar to Takuza himself. The only thing was Takuza’s mother was already long gone, but he didn’t speak about that because he didn’t need to. He then said to her “You wanted to learn a new jutsu correct? Well the body flicker will be the jutsu you learn today. But first you need to do some exercises before you learn this technique. First you need to master chakra control at your feet so like I said, I will request you to run up the tree as many times as possible landing a mark every time you get higher until you reach the top? After that I want you run on the surface of the water of the water until you make no mistakes and fall through the water.” He said in a demanding tone awaiting for her response, Takuza was truly her friend but he also needed to show he was her sensei and demanding her to do things was a part of his job.

Vain: The female’s gaze shifted to her Sensei, her eyes studying him as he spoke. His words provided a sense of security to the small child. In her eyes, if he came from such a situation…and he ended up where he had, she could too. The road will be difficult, but she could make it with hard work. The female offered a short sniffle, as he mentioned continuing training. Her eyes watched his hand extend to her and hesitantly she grabbed it and pulled herself to her feet. As he gave her orders she offered a nod, her eyes staring up at the tree. From her pocket she pulled a kunai out, a light sigh leaving her lips as she began to charge at the tree. As she ran she concentrated chakra to her feet and pressed her foot to the bark of the tree. The female ran upwards, once she met 5ft her foot began to slip and she’d use the Kunai to indicate her spot on the tree before flipping and landing on her feet. The onyx eyes looked up at the tree, squinting at her mark. A light exhale left her lips as she backed up and sprinted to the tree, once again concentrating chakra to her feet. This time when she pushed off the ground she applied more force and that alone pushed her to 4ft, from there she continued running up the tree. She’d meet 9ft and feel her momentum slow down. Yasu performed another flip, her hand scratching a line into the tree before landing on her feet. As she landed, her eyes squinted as she offered a short nod. This time she moved farther back, her mind clearing as she focused on her goal. “Come on.” She murmured as she sprinted. Chakra collected at her feet, this time a larger amount. As she jumped to the tree she’d bend her knees and jump, her feet connection to the tree. The child sprinted up the tree, her feet clinging to the tree tightly. The child this time would manage to stay connected to the tree until reaching the very top. The female stood at the top of the tree, her eyes looking out to the village and the open area around her. This gave reality perspective, everything seemed so small. “Whoa..” she murmured, her arms stretching out at her sides as she balanced herself. The onyx eyes took in the sight, her heart racing in excitement. Slowly, her gaze returned to Takuza, offering him a thumbs up.

Expo: Takuza was quiet as the girl decided to take his orders and actually take his exercise to mind and run up the tree bark. He watched her carefully as she reached about 5 ft before falling back down. She then decided to go back at it. But at that point Takuza himself needed to practice on his own jutsu in which he had been trying to perfect for the past week. He sighed as he extended his right hand forward calling on his lightning chakra. This would then result in him pushing chakra into the 5 needled points of his palm. Doing this would cause a disturbing sound to rise through the training fielding echoing with great ferociousness. This technique was known as Chidori, Takuza had a feeling Yasu would see it and become interested as he did this to give her an insight that if one was to train hard enough they could wield this type of powerful jutsu with ease. Takuza then attempted to manipulate its shape casing it to extend in both directions, it attempting to take the shape of a javelin. He did this as he focused to keep its shape as nature manipulation was very difficult to perform. His focus rising through the roof as he watched Yasu run back up and reach 9 ft on the tree. He smiled to her improvement as she attempted once more to run up this time she extended her distance for more momentum as she reached the peak of the tree. Takuza’s Jutsu would then burst into nothing as he was still not done completing this jutsu. The density was too much and he needed more practice with it. Takuza was only trying to show Yasu the example that not even him a skilled shinobi was perfect at everything as he as well needed to work hard to reach his goal. This being able to show her a reflection of herself if she looked hard enough. Takuza then muttered “Dammit…” As he looked up to notice Yasu at the top of the tree giving him a thumbs up. Takuza smiled and returned it to her with a large smirk across his face, his hand now smoking from using chidori and attempting to complete his jutsu.

Vain: At the top of the tree she watched him practice, and with a yawn she looked down, her onyx eyes gazing at the ground beneath her. The gaze squinted, a cold chill rolling across her body as she gazed longingly towards the ground. ‘What if..’ the girl looked perplexed for a moment before she shook her head. With careful motions she jumped from branch to branch until she met the ground, her body teerting slightly as she met the solid ground. Yasu’s gaze looked to Takuza as she approached him, “What were you working on?” she questioned as she looked to his hand which had been smoking. The child was interested due to it looking like a lightning natured attack, which she had been learning. Yasu would await a response before walking towards the water. “So…how does this work?” she questioned softly, her eyes looking at her own reflection briefly before she turned herself to her Sensei. The child looked determined, ready to take on any task he brought to her. The body flicker would prove to be a useful technique to learn, and Yasu was rather excited to be making progress to learn it. Even though the chakra concentration was boring, it was the foundation…Yasu understood that and didn’t argue about it.

Expo: Takuza watched as Yasu landed on the ground and approached him asking him what he was working on. Takuza smirked to her question as he knew she would ask, he stood quiet for a few seconds before responding “This is a technique I personally am creating, a move in which will edge my name into the history of shinobi.” He said with a confident tone as it wasn’t done yet, but every day he trained he would get closer to finishing it. This fact alone put his mind at ease, he then listened to Yasu question on how she should walk over water. He then responded “Simple you need to push chakra into the soles of your feet and have it reach the ground so you can balance yourself over the water regulating to the movement the water does as it never sits still unlike a tree.” He said this like he knew the entire process from how many times he has done it. It was like he had perfected walking on water in which he did, he then watched her walk off and reach the body of water as he kept a close eye to what she would do. He wouldn’t expect her to get it off the bat as she would more than likely fall through the water. It was obvious as failure was needed to get better after all. Takuza would easily allow her to do that as he would continue and perform the same move calling on chidori and attempting to extend it to a javelin like form. Doing this he would continue to concentrate until it vanished from his hand again. His eyes watching carefully at his hand as it continued to release smoke. “Dammit this technique is going to take long to master, but I know I can do it.” He whispered to himself as he was becoming frustrated from failing so many times at completing this jutsu.

Vain:The young Hatake listened to him carefully, her head nodding in response. With a heavy breath she looked at the water and attempted to do the same thing. As her feet met the surface of the water, it would be steady until she pushed her body weight into it. Instantly Yasu fell forwards, falling right into the water. The female sat face first in the water for a minute before standing up and walking back to the shore. “Stupid.” She muttered, her head shaking as she turned around, glaring at the water as though it was a living thing. Yasu offered a loud sigh as she approached the water again, attempting it once more. The female now understood what her sensei meant, the constant change of the water must reflect to one’s own chakra. With that in mind, Yasu fluctuated her chakra, attempting it to match with how the waves moved. She took a few steps, staying on top of the water’s surface, she was shaky. Her body trembling as she attempted to right herself. Slowly, her feet began to sink which caused a loud scream to leave her lips as she fell into the water once more. “DAMN IT!” left her lips before her sound became garbled by water. She would trudge angrily to the water’s surface, her face forming a pissy expression. ‘It needs to be natural…not forced.’ She reminded herself as she attempted to do it again. This time she closed her eyes as progressed onto the water, allowing her chakra to naturally move like the water instead of forcing it quickly. It took time and it was hard to focus on but when she got rid of the disruptions of the world around it became a bit easier. The child wouldn’t even notice how far she had wandered at this point…She was almost across the river.

Expo: Takuza remained quiet as he watched Yasu continuously try to walk over water successfully. Thought she had failed the first time, it seemed she was not use to the water constantly moving not allowing her to stand over the water and actually successfully walk over it. It was a struggle to her, Takuza sighed a bit as he was also busy with his own jutsu, but he was only left with one last chidori to use. He sighed as he was hoping he can successfully get it this time. If not he wouldn’t mind at all. But before doing so Yasu had yelled before drinking water resembling she had fallen again. He then stood there and watched her carefully, he hoped she would finish as she then came out and tried one last time. Doing this she was actually able to make it half way, as she still needed practice but she understood the purpose of chakra control. He smiled and said to her before she fully crossed the river “Good, now perform the Ram hand seal and push chakra into the soles of your feet and use the technique, remember to focus the chakra carefully and push your body to move. Doing this you will at least be able to travel a short distance at an extremely high speed, go ahead give it a try.” He said after she would cross the water as he then decided to give his technique one more try. Calling on chidori once more he would control its shape and cause it to take the shape of a javelin this time actually shaping it successfully. This giving him hope as this meant he was at least half way, his excitement growing as he needed to remain focused as he tried to keep it in place. This technique only lasted a few seconds before shutting off as it needed more training, but this time the technique didn’t harm Takuza. It was as if he had mastered the control of the chakra to make the javelin. Now he needed to keep working on it until it was perfect, and lasted long enough for an actual use. The way his technique was right now, Takuza was only able to spawn it and hold it for about 3-5 seconds before it shut off. Takuza was disappointed but at least he felt like he was getting closer to perfecting his own technique. After trying Takuza would then direct his attention back to Yasu as he watched her carefully and waited for her to try the jutsu.

Vain:“Hai!” called out the female from across the river, and she would do as instructed. The female held her hand out, forming the ram seal in front of her and then concentrated the chakra to her feet. Her eyes closed as a steady exhale left her lips. The female’s body disappeared, and reappeared in the middle of the river…Which caused a startled gasp to leave her lips. Quickly she fluctuated her charka and made it move with the tide of the water so she didn’t fall in. A short grumble left her lips as she held the ram sign in front of her once more. Yasu would vanish and appear next to Takuza, her onyx hues staring up at him. “…Pretend I made it over in one try.” Her eyes shifted, “You didn’t see anything.” The air grew silent for a moment before she began to laugh loudly, perhaps the first time in forever. It was comical to her what happened, but she did it regardless…and she was very proud of herself. “Thank you Takuza Sensei.” A heavy exhale left her lips as the laughter died down, her gaze shifting to the clouds over head. “I’m happy you are the one teaching me.” She murmured, her head nodding as she recalled the conversation before. “I think you…out of anyone else understands, and that makes it easier.” She murmured, giving him a light smile.
