(OOC: Glad to know you're not leaving, sensei. So excited to train with you. But please, please let's hurry up with this training as I need the EXP badly.)

Yuumaru awoke when dawn was just about to break. Traces of pink light could be made out in the horizon, but the darkness was still dominating the sky. Sweating and panting from what was probably a nightmare, Yuumaru struggled to remember what he dreamt about. After a while, he was content with dismissing it as nothing. Getting up, our hero ate some ramen, brushed his teeth, took a shower, and groomed himself. He was excited to train with his new sensei. Suddenly, when Yuumaru looked at his reflection in the mirror, he almost fell and slipped in the bathroom of his motel. There was someone else in the mirror.


The figure was ghastly, as if just looking at it induced a nauseous feeling from our hero. It was wearing what looked like ancient ninja attire, and its clothing was covered in blood. Swords were stored in numerous sheaths at the figure’s back and sides. When the figure turned to look at Yuumaru, our hero then discovered that it was a male figure. “Who… who the hell are you?!” Suddenly, our hero knew exactly who it was. Black hair, those brown eyes… The figure then smiled in an evil way and lifted his pointer finger, and it lit with fire (OOC: If you still didn’t get who this was, it is Yuumaru’s older self, the man that he fears he will become if hate consumes him). Yuumaru punched the mirror, shattering it, and making his fists bloody with numerous shards stuck in his fingers and in the gaps between them.


What the hell is happening with me… over the past few days I haven’t been myself… Yuumaru took out the shards one by one, and he didn’t even feel the pain as he was doing this. He was too fixated on what he just saw in the mirror. When he looked at the clock, he saw that it was 5:20! Rushing to wipe away the bloodstains that dripped to his lower garments from his wounded hand, and also wrapping his hand with a towel to curb the bleeding, our hero rushed outside his motel, taking a map of the village with him. Okay, Isais told me to go to the Misty Caves… and the map here says it is in the base of this particular mountain…


Our hero was still taken by his earlier experience, and so he didn’t notice the surroundings like he usually did. The villagers who have come to know the young foreigner in disguise felt stung because Yuumaru didn’t return their greetings of “hello” and “how are you.” Something was amiss with our young hero. Unlike when he entered the Hidden Glacier village for the first time, the gatekeepers of the village were indifferent to our hero this time, since he was now wearing a Hyouga headband, and so they did not even ask questions when he said he was going to train in the Misty Caves. For the gatekeepers, it was just another headstrong Glacier Genin looking for ways to get himself killed in the harsh training conditions of Misty Caves.


When Yuumaru arrived to the base of the mountains, he saw a huge boulder blocking the way to what looked like an enormous cave opening. What the hell, Isais-sensei? You want me to train but you block the way? The time was now 5:55. Yuumaru had OCD, and he did NOT like being late. Suddenly, he saw what looked like fuiinjutsu seals at the bottom center of the boulder (he was positioned in the bottom right, having come from the village that way). Putting his hand on the boulder, he said “KAI!” The boulder did not budge. At first Yuumaru was annoyed, because Isais was a prankster and our hero thought that this was one of Isais’ pranks. Isais had pranked him before when he pretended that he was a thief who stole the Kage’s clothes. The ANBU escort who had escorted our hero to his motel also told Yuumaru to be watchful of Isais’ pranks.

But then, Yuumaru thought about it some more. I am a foreigner in disguise, and genins here probably know each other really well, so isais probably closed the Misty Cave Training Area for me and him only, to avoid suspicion. Upon further thought, our hero put his hand on the seal again, and said, “SONYA” out loud. A second later, the huge boulder moved back inch by inch, making small vibrations to the ground. Finally, it move to the side of the cave, opening the Training Area to Yuumaru. It was not 6:00. Just in time.

Isais woke up this morning with his body aching from his training the day before. He had set an alarming device to wake him up at around four forty five am. This is a bit earlier than the time he usually wake up. So needless to say it was hell getting out of bed and reading himself to train this morning.  He'd fix his hair and then ready up his gear for today. He was actually hoping that today he didn't have to go to work, but since he had yesterday off his assistant will be expecting him at three fifty five. So he didnt have much time to waste in training today.  After getting prepared and having something to eat he'd notice that the time had just hit 5 am. Which was too early in his opinion. So he'd lay in his bed for a while.  A minute later he'd be fast asleep as time would fly on by. At five fifty he would be startled out of his sleep to notice that he's going to be late for his first training day with Yuumaru. On top of that, he didnt really get to train himself at all.

Isais would leave his house in a haste to get to the misty caves. While running over there he would notice the emptiness of the streets. It seemed that he wasnt the only one who over  slept.  As he began running from the rooftops he'd notice some thing moving throughout the lonely streets.  This was strange vecause this small thing was crawling.  What in the world did isais just see?! Isais was now tempted to stop and check it out. Unable to battle this temptation, he would stop and examine what that was.  Indeed this sight was a very strange because what he'd discover is a white baby with nothing but pampers on, crawling forward with what seemed like a hitch hikers bag full of bottles.  Isais was now deeply confused and to make matters worst, Isais thinks he knows this baby. Isais would land right next to the crawling baby and look towards the direction in which he was going. Isais thought to himself that if he kept moving forward that this baby would be headed towards the village gates. Isais would then remember the bill in which he had approved the other day about leaving the village.  Granted this was a baby and not a ninja. Isais would speak to the baby, "baby, what are you even doing? You cant leave the village." The baby would then look at Isais. The baby would then use his hands to get onto his little feet and start wobbling away as fast as he could.  Isais' eyes would fly open as this baby would make a  break for it. This kid didnt get far before he fell right on his face and starts crying. Isais measured that this infant got about ten feet away . He would then walk up to the baby and pick it up. The baby would continue crying as hed stretch its hand out towards the village exits direction.  Isais would return this child home to his mother and then dash towards the caves.

Im going to be very late, isais said in his head as he made his way to the misty caves. By this time it was five fifty- nine. Not bad for one of the fastest shinobis in the world. Upon arriving at the scene he would see Yuumaru speak to a rock sayjng sonyas name and moving the giant rock aside.  Isais now even more confused then earlier would watch Yuumaru go in and then follow him. " uh, the heck just happened with the rock?" Isais probably wouldnt get an proper answer to his question since Yuumaru would barely know himself. Isais would wonder the light mist and then begin to stretch. Though this cave really was misty throwing knives would still be visible if thrown. As he would stretch he'd continue. " Anyways how are you this morning? I hope the place picked out for you was very comfortable. So today im going to examine your known capabilities.  This way I can help you mold your art to something effective and easy to use. First thing is first, in order for this to go smoothly, you're going to have to be completely honest with me. First and most important question.  Why do you want to be a shinobi? Then second question, do you wanna grow strong? If yes, how strong do you want to be and why? Three how do you expect to obtain it?" Isais would continue stretching with splits and variations.  As he continued speaking he would gesture to Yuumaru to stretch as well.  And now if you can answer the previous questions, "What element can you mold right now? And what are your specialties in your opinion." Isais would then get up onto his feet and then look towards Yuumaru waiting for his answers. While waiting for yuumaru , isais would drop down and do a few push ups to get his muscles in his arms warmed up and ready to go. Hoping that Yuumaru would answer back soon, isais would begin to throw a few punches in the air followed by some machine gun round house kicks in the air. Now isais would warm up his spin kicks throwing spin hook kicks at head level as fast as he can with each leg. Isais seemed warmed up enough.

Isais had finished his warmup but while listening to Yuumaru he couldnt help but notice some foreshadowing issues. Isais being a decendant of one of the greatest warriors in history is often reminded that some things are just out of our control. Isais would look at Yuumaru and begin to speak. "Wow...You really have some big dreams, and ill give you that much. Well if you want to become a monster it's possible even if you couldnt mold any element at all. The true test is in you. Do you really have the fortitude to become that monster." He would then walk a few paces away from Yuumaru and then continue, " Today's lesson is on War and Combat. Based on what you tell me youre strongest area is combat because unlike some people you get a thrill off of it. Weird but atleast I have something to work with.  So this means that inorder for me to accentuate your strengths I have to make you into an exceptional combatant. Combat in itself is fifteen percent preparation, ten percent skill, and seventy five percent mental. Now you said you suck at strategizing and by your description, you sound like a brute. Of course this is based off of your self evaluation so this all could be wrong but one thing is for sure."

Isais begins to make hand seals, " There is nothing wrong with forming bonds and wanting to protect the people you care about so long as you have the discernment. But what is wrong with everything said is the lesson in which youll hopefully learn today." Isais would complete his hand seals and then speak the name of the jutsu, " Earth style: Stone Soldiers". Out of the ground arises four large stone samurai and one stone soldier shaped as a woman. This woman would look very familiar to Yuumaru but to Isais it was very clear that this woman was Sonya.  Isais would then touch the stone woman and she would instantly turn black. Isais would then send her towards Yuumaru's direction but incase he would try to destroy her Isais would speak out. " Dont destroy her.  Your objective is to protect this one stone soldier with your life while the others seek to defeat you and destroy her. I may or may not raise the stakes on you but that depends on how well you can impress me, but overal ill be your coach throughout this ordeal. Your full objective is to keep her safe for five minutes(five posts). If you can do that then you will be a true saviour in the making. Beward these soldiers are faster and stronger than they look and heavy too." Isais would wait until the 300 lb  stone woman would get next to Yuumaru and then signal the others to attack. "Good luck."

They would charge him.  The first coming towards his right with a right leg spin round house kick as stone soldier number two would come low towards yuumarus left with a right leg spin heel kick in attempts to sweep him off his feet. Stone soldier number three would attempt to double hammer fist the stone woman with an aerial strike coming downward aimed for the top of her head. Meanwhile stone soldier number four is behind the stone woman attempting to punch right through her. Isais used basic attacks on the female stone soldier but more advanced attacks on Yuumaru to see how hed handle a situation with soo much going on. Isais now watches the field as he is a few steps back preparing for an interesting outcome.
