This training ground is in the center of Yukigakure, near the hot-springs generator. It has no noticeable things about it, aside from the lack of snow, allowing Ruri'iro to practice his manipulation of the snow he creates.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art."  Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Ah, such a work of art!
Chakra: 85%. That one took a bit out of me.Ah, Ruri'iro loved his personal training grounds. Although it lacked snow and ice, that was a good thing. It was here that he perfected his ability to create ice out of only his chakra, the same skill he learned from his travels around the Shinobi World. After he reached the middle of the grounds, he sat down and seemingly meditated for a bit. An idea had popped into his head while he was asleep last night, which resulted from memories he had long ago, back when he was in Konoha. He had read about the legends on the village, the Hokage that went down in history for what they did.
Out of all the Hokage's though, Hashirama Senju intrigued him the most. A powerful ninja who in his time, was the only user of Mokuton, or Wood Release. It was said that it was this jutsu that helped create the village and from what the legends spoke of, that could possibly not be an exaggeration, because several Konoha Ninja afterwards either pursued the same power or was experimented on and given it. Orochimaru, Danzo, Yamato, Obito, all of them. If there wasn't truth to the legends, then why was Hashirama's power so widely desired?
And since he can do such an amazing feat as create an entire forest by literally using his chakra to create life, then surely Ruri'iro, a powerful Hyoton user, could do the same thing with Ice? It was a longshot, but Ruri'iro had a goal now: to fill the training grounds with a forest of icy trees. Ruri'iro's only doubt is that his chakra, which wasn't nearly as strong as the First Hokage's or even compared to the other Kages, wouldn't be able to handle the strain of such a feat. His only hope is that he can utilize his chakra control and makes sure he uses the minimum amount required for the technique to work.
First a small tree in the palm of his hand would be a good place to start. He formed a single handseal, then held his palm out with it facing up, concentrating his chakra on it. At first the tree started off as a single shoot, but then after a few seconds on concentration, it slowly grew into a minature tree, complete with intricate details on the trunk and the leaves. A work of beauty and art and wonder. Ruri'iro smiled at the little tree in his palm, and thought that if creating this small tree wasn't a problem, then creating an entire forest can be possible even with his average reserves of Chakra. With his determination set, the Yukikage got to work on this monumental feat, one that would make him as much of a legend among the Kages as Hashirama was.
He formed the single handseal and slapped both palms in the ground, a sneer of determination on his face. The ground beneath him then turned white with snow and ice as it spread all across the training grounds, the beginnings of what would come next. The process started out as mere shoots rising from the newly made frost, like grass before they rapidly grew large and larger, rising higher and higher into the air. The ice shoots twisted and bended, covering the training ground in a dense growth of twisted ice, like dead trees in the middle of winter. A satisfying start, but Ruri'iro's artistic and detailed mind wanted more than just this. With a look, the icy trees started growing buds on the surface, slowly they grew and for the longest time, Ruri'iro thought the technique would fail. He was feeling the strain of using so much chakra in one technique, it was like when he was first perfecting his signature technique, the one that got him his Shinobi Name. One of his greatest works of art, the White Rose. The only difference was instead of creating one gigantic sculpture, he was creating many sculptures to cover a large area.
A trickle of sweat came down his brow and touched the white surface beneath him, which also crystallized as he looked at the forest he was trying to complete. He would not accept an unfinished art, even if it meant killing him to show it to the village. With this, he pumped a little bit more chakra into the jutsu, watching in awe as the trees grew icy, well detailed leaves which gave the white forest an impressive, albeit extremely cold canopy. Such wondrous art, it rivaled that of Hashirama's in majesty and beauty. Ruri'iro always loved that about Konoha, it's amazing foliage, the grandeur of the Hokage Mountain, the scale of the village itself, and the hospitality that the Hokage showed him, a visitor from another land. It made him appreciate the fact that the war torn country he came from was not the normal state of the world.
The other villages showed similar kindness, but Konoha held a special meaning due to their Will of Fire. The villagers love, believe, cherish, and will fight for the sake of their home, as generations have done beforehand. Ruri'iro took this to heart, as he personally believed that his homeland could use a philosophy like this to sooth the burns of hatred and grief that consumed the Land of Snow in endless wars. It was this, plus the other teachings that he gained from his other travels, that forged the tenants that governed Yukigakure and created it's own belief called the Will of New Fallen Snow.
"Every person is like an individual snowflake, no two are the same. it is the same with dreams, no two are the same. Every villagers must work to cherish and protect each other and to work towards the protection of the village, their homeland, so that way their dreams can flourish."
Ruri'iro said, citing the beliefs of his village as he willed a few of the ice trees to shed a bit of their leaves, letting them fall to the floor before he smiled.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Beautiful
Chakra: 78%%.The setting was perfect. With a training ground covered in icy trees, he could perform various Ice based ninjutsu without consuming more chakra to create the ice he needs. The first jutsu he intended to work on was an idea he came up with after some realization: he didn't have a lot of defensive moves that didn't consume as much chakra as his beloved White Rose sculpture. With that said, Ruri'iro figured something that was nearly as beautiful, yet simpler to create was in order. But what should he go for theme wise to create this defensive ninjutsu?
Ruri'iro again sat on the white ground and held his hand out, palm facing up. A block of ice now appeared, hovering above his hand as he formed a seal and watched it intently. The block of ice formed into many different shapes. A panda, a monkey, a toad, a snake, Ruri'iro cycled through various different kinds of animals and objects until he found the image he wanted. Sitting in his hand was a replication of a peacock, complete with plumage fanning out. The small bird was beautiful, a worthy template for the defensive ninjutsu. After the sculpture feathers gave of a shimmer, he dispersed it and went to work developing the full sized version.
He knew that in order to develop such a complicated ninjutsu, it would require a bit of concentration and skill, things he had in spades. Every detail must be perfect: despite it's status as a defensive technique, and more likely than not, it's going to be shattered, Ruri'iro will pour the same amount of effort into creating it as he does to every other work of art he does. Every curve, every edge, every detail must be sculpted to perfection so that when an enemy sees it unfold it's feathers, they will know that a master artist created it. Besides, he hoped it would be a surprise to his fellow Kages, especially Hideyoshi, the man he dueled against in both an Art contest and in a duel. Ruri'iro respected him as a fellow artist, and his murals were as elaborate as the Yukikage's own sculptures. Artists understand other artists because both put their souls into whatever they are working on, but Ruri'iro's philosophy on art is different than Hideyoshi's. While Hideyoshi believed art should leap off the page, Ruri'iro believed that a work of art should shape itself. The irony was their two differing art philosophies sounded awfully similar to another duo of artists: both S-rank Missing Nins.
Ruri'iro formed a few hand seals and concentrated on what he wanted to make, turning a branch of a nearby ice tree into a block of ice that he had hover in front of him. He then formed the ice into a larger replica of the small statue he created in his hand and watched as it landed in front of him. As he planned it, every detail was intricately carved into the ice, to the point that if it wasn't for the fact that it was made out of ice, people would mistake it for the real thing, albeit much large than an actual peacock. Ruri'iro watch as the sculpture strutted over to him and stood in front of the Yukikage, perking it's feathers up and unfurling them, allowing the Yukikage to see each intricate detail of the feathers for himself. It was magnificent, a wonderful work of art, and Ruri'iro was proud to have created it. As a final test, he disappeared further away from the peacock via Body Flicker and formed another hand seal, creating a spear of ice from another tree's branch and threw it at the peacock's feathers, smiling when the ice spear actually shattered on contact. An acceptable defense, though he knew that he would have to reinforce it to deal with something that was more than just a simple spear.

Nagi Misashu Somehow, the young shinobi made his way into the Yukikage's personal training grounds, but didn't realize it for quite some time. He continued to walk with his eyes shut and arms crossed behind his head, while whistling a small tune that had gotten stuck in his head when he walked past a family while the mother sung a lullaby to her crying infant. It was a melodic tune, soothing and calming, something he wasn't. Since nobody was around, he had nobody to talk with and it wasn't the norm to talk to oneself while wandering aimlessly through the village. The young man had done it before and received many odd looks from the surround villagers. Even though he was used to being laughed at when doing something childish, it was different when you got glared at for being thought of as someone who should be in a straight jacket and padded room. While he wandered through the building, somehow not walking into any of the walls, the ground beneath him changed and he felt a sudden drop in temperature. Knowing he hadn't walked back outside, Nagi opened in his eyes and stopped whistling as he looked around the new scene. It was definitely something he had never seen before and knew of only one person that could created such a thing.
There was small forest of trees made from ice, each perfectly carved and detailed to look like an actual tree you would find in Konoha. The trees were surrounded by beautiful, white snow that looked like soft clouds and the air was cool, a soft breeze blowing past the young man that stood at the edge of forest. This was what Nagi loved to see, feel, and even smell. The cool, crisp air put bumps on his arm and felt amazing going through his lungs. The sight was truly breath taking, sometimes in a quite literally sense. There was just one, small problem with what he saw and it was the fact that there was snow and frozen foliage everywhere. It wasn't a secret that the Yukikage preferred to practice in an area without any ice, allowing him to train with just his chakra, but being able to create a small forest made of ice was truly a feat and an amazing one at that.
The teenaged shinobi made his way to the closest tree, inspecting it closely. It wasn't hollow and was an actual chunk of ice turned into a tree. Looking through it, you could see the trees that stood behind, albeit they looked more compressed through the ice. His hand came up to touch the trunk, rubbing his palm against the oddly smooth surface as he brushed over what seemed to be a replica of bark. Looking up into the crown of the tree, Nagi took a couple of steps back from the trunk. He reached up to one of the low hanging branches and took one of the leaves between his thumb and forefinger, rubbing the smooth surface, just as he did with the trunk. All of a sudden, the frozen leaf cracked in half from his touch and the young mans heart sank and mouth gaped in a silent scream as he hoped the Yukikage was nowhere nearby to see what had happened. Nagi quickly tried to stick the leaf back to where it came from, but to no avail. Instead, he dropped to his knees and dug a small hole, dropping the leaf into it burying it in the snow. He quickly matted out the snow, making it as flat as possible to show no signs of it being tampered with, then quickly stood up and moved further into the forest, whistling nonchalantly.
Upon moving further into the forest, looking at all of the ice sculpted trees, he found a peacock. An entire peacock made out of ice. When he first saw it, his eyes bulged and his jaw went slack, but he quickly recomposed himself and slowly made his way towards the icy animal.
"Okay, now the Yukikage is just showing off."
He laughed heartily to himself as he got as close as possible to the peacock. When he was about five feet away from it, he noticed that it was just as detailed as the trees, more if you took into consideration the type of animal it was. It took him a few seconds to notice, but around the birds feet were shards of ice. Nagi knelt down to grab one, his eyes never leaving the peacock in case it tried to attack him. When he felt the ice press between his fingers, he picked it up and quickly backed away from the bird, inspecting the shard and the bird once more. He assumed it fallen off of the bird, as though it were melting, but there were no signs of it. Through all of this, the young shinobi had no idea that the Yukikage was nearby and wouldn't know he was there unless approached by him.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Hello Genin
Chakra: 70%%.Sitting in the tree he sat down on the frozen branch and looked around the small forest he created. The beauty of it was amazing and Ruri'iro was proud of his creation. It wasn't on par with Hashirama yet, but it was a start. And he just got an idea on another technique. One he already had in his repertoire. On his travels throughout the Land of Water, he learned to refine his ability to use more than just his Hyoton techniques. The Land of Water is an ideal place to learn Suiton based techniques, including some of the strongest, most destructive water techniques ever devised: The Great Waterfall. A powerful vortex that can hollow out the ground and leave a wake of destruction that can only be describe as the aftermath of a natural disaster. It's not the most artistic jutsu, but sometimes, there is beauty in destruction.
The power and force required to use this would require an intense amount of chakra, not as much as the forest he created, but it was enough that Ruri'iro was a bit cautious. One wrong move can drain him considerably, or the technique won't function at all. As such, when he prepared to initiate the technique he was careful to not overdo it. He remembered the time when he was learning these techniques from his Kirigakure Sensei, a hard nosed Shinobi that didn't let the young, foppish man slack off on his training. Even though he considered many of the Suiton style jutsu barbaric without any aesthetic appeal, he learned them without complaint, but doesn't really choose to use them unless he needs raw power to destroy everything in his path.
He remembered the first time he used the Great Waterfall Technique, how the swirling water leveled everything it touched. He wanted to do the same with this variation of it, but instead of water, he'll create some combination of ice and frozen water that would freeze after it impacts a solid barrier. In part, it is another way for Ruri'iro to shape the battlefield to suit his tactics and needs and a way to utilize the ice without forming it into some kind of animal or object. As said before, it's not his usual style, but variety had to be done or else people would be able to counter him far too quickly and render his attacks null.
Now was the time to focus on what he was wanting to do. He formed the many handseals required, focusing his chakra and forming it to do what he wanted it to do. Due to his amazing control of his chakra, the drain wasn't as bad as he initially imagined it to be as he continued forming the seals before smacking his palms together. All this time, he didn't know about the genin that just wandered into his personal training grounds on an unknown mission to the Yukikage. He was more concentrated on finishing his technique. After his palms smacked together, water formed in front of him, swirling around in a vortex just like the original jutsu did. But the difference between this and the original was the color of the icy water and the fact that it wasn't even a Suiton technique anymore. No, this was a new Hyoton replication of the same technique. Therefore, it should have the same destructive power as the original. With a smile, he pushed his palms forward, releasing the technique. Dozens of meters high and wide, this powerful wave of icy water tore through the small forest that Ruri'iro created earlier, shattering the ice like it was small icicles and burrowing the ground beneath it's path. The gushing icy liquid continuing it's trail of destruction for a very long time until it slammed into the wall at the other end of the training grounds, cracking the stone and attempting to break it too. With an exhaled breath, Ruri'iro then pushed his palms to the floor, causing the icy water to freeze into solid ice, ending the jutsu's destructive rampage. The Genin was unharmed because Ruri'iro didn't see him, but he managed to completely miss him by some very, very small miracle. His peacock was also unharmed. But the long, wide line of icy trees that the icy water slammed into didn't survive the impacts and all Nagi would see from them is long spikes and icicles jutting out of the frozen vortex or strewn across the ground.
"It always pains me to see my art be destroyed, but it was my creation. And those who create also have the power to destroy when needed," He said, opening his eyes and noticing that he had company. Jumping down from the tree, he landed on the frozen vortex and skillfully slid down it, flipped high in the air, and landed in front of the Genin, who was likely scared witless, "Sorry for my less than kind entrance, I was training when you came in. I'm so glad you didn't get hurt," Ruri'iro then looked at the frozen wave of water,which to him actually did look pretty artful, much more than the original technique, "How did you like it? It's a technique I've been working on and I think it succeeded. May I ask though, what is your name and why are you here?"

Having inspected the peacock for a few more seconds, he decided to give up his investigation on where the ice shards had originated from. Instead, he chose to explore a little further in, now looking for anything else that Yukikage could have created. As his mind wondered what else the Yukikage could create, he saw a massive formation slowly rise out from further into the forest. Nagi eyebrows perked up as he started making his way towards the formation, in order to check out what it was. The sound of rushing water, however, made him stop in his tracks. As the water smashed its way through the icy forest, the ground shook, the small quakes slowly getting stronger as the water got closer to the shinobi. When the massive wave finally came into view, his cocked eyebrows turned into bulging eyes and pure terror. Without any hesitation, he spun on his heels and ran, but didn't leave the waters destructive path. As it was about consume him, Nagi dove to the side and into a small mound of snow.
When he managed to dig himself out, but remained on the floor with his arms propping him up from behind, the Yukikage was standing in front of him. The teenager was panting heavily, not from being tired, but from the adrenaline of almost getting swept away and into a wall by a massive wave of water. As Nagi looked up at his superior, small tufts of snow fell from his hair and shoulders, his eyes still showing the fear he felt earlier. He was in too much shock to say anything right away and simply mouthed empty words, but only small squeaks left his throat.
"I was..." he pointed to the door he had originally came in through, but quickly cut himself and stood upright, the remainder of the snow bouncing up and off of his body only to join the rest of it on the ground. Nagi took in a deep breath and gave a quick bow to the Yukikage, holding it as he spoke,"I'm sorry Yukikage, I was simply wandering around and happened upon your training grounds. When I saw all the sculptures that were inside, I couldn't help but take a look as I know you don't train in the usual environment." The young man was so nervous that his words left his mouth in stutters and seemed to mash together. With his hands held at his side as he kept in the bow, refusing to stand upright until told do to so, he kept his eyes shut. His toes curled up and his body started to shake, from having jumped into the mound of snow.
This was his first time meeting the Yukikage face to face. Everyone in the village has seen him, but not many get to meet him personally and Nagi didn't know how to react. He was always told to be respectful and polite, but that was much harder to do in person than he originally thought. His confidence slowly grew enough for him to open his eyes and attempt to look up, without actually raising his head.
"It was an amazing technique, Yukikage." He wasn't lying. It truly was awe inspiring and extremely devastating, giving a hint as to how powerful the Yukikage actually was. After a few more breaths and having calmed down slightly more, he finished answering his questions,"My name is Nagi Misashu. I'm a Genin." Not that his rank was actually asked, but he figured it would be a good idea to include it, just in case the Yukikage needed a Genin for some reason.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Hello Genin
Chakra: 70%%.Ruri'iro beamed with pride at the Genins words. It was good to hear praise from the young ones, it made his job worth doing. As the raven haired Kage stepped towards Nagi, he returned his bow with one of his own, signifying that although he was the Kage, he had respect for all of his villagers. They all do their part to make the village a success, as per the unified dream to make Yukigakure a bastion of peace in a land choked by war.
"I'm glad you like it, Nagi, the original jutsu however was one that used Water. This one is different as it uses my clan's Hyoton abilities. Notice the fact that it is frozen now? I intended it to do that. By the way, Yukikage is just a title. I only want people to say it to get my attention. My name is Ruri'iro Yuki. If you just refer to me as Lord Ruri'iro or Lord Yukikage, it would be fine, but I prefer the former."
Ruri'iro then looked around his training grounds and smiled a bit, "As for my grounds, yes it is usually barren of snow. But the trees you see are made of ice, a replication of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees technique. If only I lived in his time to see such a beautiful work of art form right in front of my eyes. As it is right now, even this beauty pales a bit in comparison to what that legend could do."
He then smiled at Nagi, wondering why he was here instead of training with other Genin. Perhaps Zael would be ready to accept another Genin, "Nagi, you don't have a Jounin Sensai correct? Because if you don't, I know the correct person that can help you get you on the right track."

He quickly shook his head from side to side, while still looking at the ground,"No Yuki- I mean, Lord Ruri'iro. I have yet to be appointed a Jounin Sensei. I was told I would be appointed one within the next week or so, whenever they found one who was willing to take someone from a different country." As he spoke, Nagi slowly lifted his head to meet his superiors gaze. The young man was genuinely surprised to see someone with such soft eyes, considering the rank of the man he looked at. He had assumed all the people that were above the rank Chuunin were cold and menacing, but this man seemed to be the exact opposite. The Yukikages gaze seemed to calm down the young shinobi enough to allow him to recompose himself and stand up straight, with a new found confidence bellowing from within.
Looking around the forest of ice once more, then back on the man who stood in front of him,"It's truly an amazing jutsu, but I guess that's not hard to expect when it's come from someone such as yourself. I much prefer your ice version over the original, it seems... more thought out. The cold seems to suit me better. Just, the way cool winds feels on my skin and the way the crisp air smells when running through the village, it's just," he quickly turned red in embarrassment and averted his gaze from the Yukikage,"I'm sorry, I must be boring you with my personal preferences." A small, nervous chuckle left the young mans throat as locked eyes with Ruri'iro once again.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly did you have in mind as a sensei for me?" Nagi wasn't exactly afraid of meeting new people, it was just that he had heard stories of a Jounin that was really hard on his pupils. He was always willing to rise to a challenge and would have been extremely happy if he was put under the Jounin he was thinking of. Some of the stories he had heard, were that this man was an amazing swordsman and he hoped that this Jounin would be able to teach him everything he wanted to know and possibly more. Now, Nagi was getting excited and it could be seen in his eyes as they slowly started to light up with hope and an anticipating smile crept across his lips.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Well I know of one
Chakra: 70%%.When Nagi told the Yukikage on what he thought of his techniques, Ruri'iro nodded and listened intently. Ruri'iro smiled and looked back at the frozen vortex behind him. He liked it better over the original as well. In truth, he felt his Hyoton was much better than Futon or Suiton jutsus, but ultimately, Ruri'iro knew he needed the parts to be more versatile in places where his Hyoton techniques would not be idela for the situation. It was why in Sunagakure, he learned how to use the fans and the Futon jutsus that the ninjas there used with the weapons and he learned Suiton techniques in Kirigakure.
"Well, I know of one person you can seek out. He's in the village training grounds with another Genin. His name is Zael Yukimura, you'll know him when you see him as he's got a permanent scowl on his face and looks like he wants to kill someone. He wield a sword, but don't be fooled by it's size. As I am told, the weapon is pretty hefty in weight. Anyways, he's the only Jounin I know of who possesses even an inkling of knowledge in how to use the sword. Seek him out."
Ruri'iro then bowed to the Genin and gestured to the door, with a smile on his face, "Run along now, I prefer not to have casualties while I am training."
As the Genin ran off, one of Ruri'iro's ANBU showed up, whispering into his ear some news that Ruri'iro found very frustrating.
Hmph, seems Hotarubi's back is out and he is resting at home. A shame, but I'm going to have to ask a Genin to do this for me.

He returned Ruri'iro's bow with one of his own,"Of course, Lord Ruri'iro. I'm sorry to have disturbed your training, but I'll get out of your way now." He spun on his heels and took a couple of steps forwards, then came to a complete halt. Nagi looked in all directions of the training grounds, the ice forest having blocked the entrance from view made it slightly harder to find. After recounting his steps for a few seconds, he waved his forefinger in the direction he needed to go. As he trudged through the snow, he came across the first tree he encountered upon arriving at the training grounds and noticed that the leaf was still broken in half,'Oh boy, I really hope he doesn't see that.' Nagi looked over his shoulder, making sure the Yukikage couldn't see it from where he was, and then left through the door he originally came in.
((Ooc: Exit. Man, that was a lot shorter than I wanted it to be.))

Genin --- Yukigakure --- Water & Fire --- With the information from the jounin ninja in the training grounds Han made his way to the training grounds for the kage. The comments made about the kage sparked a intrist to see if it was true. Han soon enough found the training grounds but the entrance that stood before him was covered/blocked in ice. Han looked at it for a second as he tried to figure a way to remove the ice. Han turned around and used his elemental control to force water into he furnace on his back Using the furnace he was able to heat up the water and pressurize it for many uses. This time he planted his feet and a hole on the furnace opened up and like a jet Boiling steam rushed out hitting the gates and surrounding the area. From with in the steam that covered the gates out walked Han with his hands in his pockets while leaving behind a good sized could of hot water behind and water from melted ice. Once in the training ground he looked around and spotted the kage and walked over. He grinned a little as one of words from the jounin where right, he is a pretty boy. " Your the kage.. correct ?" He said to the man with his deep voice. ----------------- ------------------- OCC:: Post was bad, but yea kinda tired and all.

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: Oh, another Genin. How wonderful
Chakra: 70%%.It seems that even in his own private training grounds, the Yukikage cannot catch a break from matters of the village. For when he was about ready to continue his own training, he heard the hiss of steam and turned around to find out where the source is. Wait Steam? Who wield steam in the middle of Yukigakure, the village know for it's frigid temperatures? Of course he then saw several of his trees blocking the door suddenly melt into water, which then began to evaporate, and then he saw a very tall, albeit young kid with a strange device on his back. After close inspection, plus the residual steam wafting up into the frigid air, Ruri'iro concluded this kid was responsible for melting his way into the training grounds.
When Han asked if Ruri'iro was the Kage, Ruri'iro smirked a little, then to test Han's reactions, smacked his hands together, causing the water underneath Han's feet to freeze and form icicles around him, all pointed towards the kids chest, "Yes, I am the Yukikage. Ruri'iro Yuki at your service," he answered, withdrawing the icicles and walked over to the kid. He was a tall kid, but he seemed to be very lanky. As he inspected the kid and his strange furnace, Ruri'iro looked back at the kid and smiled, "May I ask your name sir? Before you answer though, I must admit, I admire the craftsmanship of the furnace on your back. Who made this work of art?"
Ruri'iro loved art of all kinds, so to him, even something like a furnace was beautiful in it's own way. Ruri'iro wasn't a picky guy, as he knows any craftsman is an artist of his chosen profession. A blacksmith was an artist of metal, a barrel maker was an artist of making barrels. All craftsman were artists in Ruri'iro's eyes.

Genin --- Yukigakure --- Water & Fire --- Han eyes locked with the person in the training grounds and watched the person smack his/her hands together. In seconds he noticed the water around him freeze like the land scape around him. All round him formed spikes from the ice all pointed in his direction. Han returned his gaze to the person who introduced them his self as the kage of the village. Han reached out to the spike that was in font of him and like a twig he snapped a good amount from it and looked at it only to drop it to the ground. Then watched the spikes withdraw themselves. Standing with his hands in his pockets he waited for the Yukikage to get close before talking to him. " Cool, I was looking for you." he said with a low voice that was very calm sounding. Ruri`iro asked for a name , but added that he admired the furnace on han`s back.. plus wanted to know the craftsmen. Waiting a second Han said. " Good to see some one knows what the thing on my back is. It was created back in my home village,the Grass village. But yea I am Han Ikubi." It had been a long time he had even talked to a person like he just did, he was not much of a talker due to his guarded lifestyle, but figured he should at least answer the kage back on his questions. While staying in the village hidden in the snow he was yet to be impressed by the Yuki clan. There manipulation of water and creation of ice was a neet trick but other than that there was no surprise for him to see. Han was not a Yuki clan member but yet he could manipulate water just as good as them but they got him on the ice as he needed the furnace to create the steam for him. This man over all was new and the trust was very small, that being as it is cause he is the leader of the village and all. ----------------- -------------------

Ruri'iro Yuki "Let me dazzle you with my art." Yukikage
The White Rose
Health: Simply magnificent
Mood: Magnificant
Thoughts: I see
Chakra: 70%%.Kusagakure huh? Well he is a long way from home. And the villagers there were able to make a furnace tat allowed him to mold his chakra into steam? Interesting, it seems even small villages are capable of great things. Yukigakure is one such example: a village that was small that is crawling it's way to the big leagues. And with Ruri'iro at the helm, they will get far. The Yukikage noticed that Han's demeanor seemed rather calm and cool, a contrast to Nagi before hand. And the fact he was looking for him could mean only one thing: he wants to know who he was going to have as a Jounin sensei. With a smile, the Yukikage told the boy, "Nice to meet you Han Ikubi, and before you ask, I already know what you wish for me to talk to you about: the possibility of finding out who your Jounin is."
Ruri'iro then looked at the remaining trees that made his ice forest before he told the boy, "I will be putting you under one of my clan members, Kasai Yuki. But before you get to train with him, I was wondering if you would do something for me?"
After hearing the boys answer, Ruri'iro would continue talking, "I need a Genin to go retrieve a special box from a High End restaurant I tend to dine at. It's a special box made of gold, with the Yukigakure Village symbol on it. It contains tickets to an event we have been invited to and I need as many people to come attend this event with me as possible. Would you be willing to retrieve this box for me?"

Genin --- Yukigakure --- Water & Fire --- Han looked over the kage as he tried to find something that said Leader but could find nothing that he could see. But thinking about it he figured it was due to his Ninjutsu skills and connections with the people of the land. Ruri`iro started to talk and the response from han is to look at him in the eyes. " Yes " it was short but the Yukikage hit the nail on the head for what han searched him out for. The eyes of the man seemed to drift to the landscape where han had melted his way in. Ruri`iro then gave him the answer that he had been seeking. Thinking to himself. Kasai Yuki.. I will search him out.Han turned around and was about to walk away in search of this Yuki man so he could get to training to be a chunnin. But the Kages words stopped him sort. Han looked back over his shoulder and the Furnace with look of question. " Yea, what is it ?" He said with a calm tone as he turned around to face the kage once again. After hearing what was requested of him he let out a sigh and she thought. ' A mission .. boring.' Thinking to himself for a solid 40seconds he said softly. " I can do this. But yea.. where is this restaurant ?" Han was only a genin but he was not as foolish to run off and not gain information to make his life easier, he Figured the classy place was some where in the streets but wanted to make sure before heading out. Missions where not on his list of thing he like doing but seeing how the Yukikage did supply being from the incredibly small 'village hidden in the grass' he was not familiar with this lands buildings quite yet and so the information on the location of the classy place would be useful. Han looked around at the land scrap around him and noticed the trees/forest where made of ice that possibly the kage manifested using his Ice ability's from his clan. That would explain the ice things that obstructed the entrance that Han melded his way though.. they where his tree creations. ----------------- ------------------- OCC:: Got to be getting to bed, got work tomorrow. But yea nice RPC.
