Hidden volcano
Inori would stop in her tracks as a familiar voice called out to her . Her long silver hair would say in the wind as she turned her head to face the voice . Once this jester was complete Inori would lay her eyes upon a Small cloaked figure . A sudden smile would come across her face when she realized that it was her master , the one who taught her everything that she knew about being a Kunochi .
" Dokuso Sensai ! It's great to see you once again . "
Inori would call out to her cloaked master . His features could hardly be seen due to his long cloak which added a hint of mystery to the old man . To anyone else this man would be seen as a mysterious cloaked figure . But to Inori it was just another familiar face .
" So I take it that you have returned to finish your training young Yasuragi ? "
The old man called out as he stepped out of the shadows out the giant boulders that surrounded the outskirts of the village . Laying his walking cane against a rock and raising his hands to his hood. The cloak figure that was Dokuso would remove his hood . Giving way to his facial features . His long goat like beard would shimmer like silk down the middle of his chest . His wrinkled face would be markings of his years in the shinobi world a wise man loyal to only the doku clan one of their greatest Elders .
" Your mother and father would turn in their graves if they knew of how long it's been since you have returned home . How long has it been now ? Five years ? . I see that Hokage has you training hard and doing special things in this Shinobi world to keep you from your home for so long . Did she finally let you off your leash child . "
Inori would just look at her master and close her eyes before she would go on to explain the reasons for her long departure from the homeland . It wasn't something easy to explain and with Dokuso bringing her parents into this conversation was in fact a dirty trick on his part . As Inroi looked toward the ground the expression on Dokuso's face would change to that of a elder's grin oh enjoyment .
" My child I'm still able to get under your skin even in old age you are still sensitive to the topic of your parents . Come I shall judge you no further my child there is much work to be done , must to be learned if you dare wish to be at the caliber of your fallen parents . "
Dokuso stated as he turned his back toward Inori and started to walk off . Without hesitation the young Yasuragi would follow behind . Her fist clenched but her eyes burning with the determination .
It wouldnt be long before the two would reach the destination of their training .
" Alright Inori now it's been sometime since you have been gone the Doku clan has developed a mass array of jutsu so I wish not to waste much time here . You are a quick learner and I have faith in your abilities to learn this stuff quick and with ease .Now watch close my child this is one of the jutsu you shall be learning"
With that said the old man would then clutch his hands together with great force and start to combine a combination of hand signs .
" Poison smog ."
The old man would then expel a large cloud of poison smog from his mouth that took up a large area of the training ground . While he did this Inroi would remain still not worried about the side effects since she herself was immune to all types of poison
" Alright child not get to work ! "
Dokuso ordered as he took his seat on the rock and continued to gaze on as his student attempted to master the poison smog technquie . Inori's eye focus would rise from Dokuso's hands as the first step in learning a new jutsu was to learn the hand signs . Now it was turn and she knew that Dokuso wasn't playing when he stated that he wanted her to learn this with the quickness that he knew Inroi possessed .
" alright master this one is for the time that I have been gone I'll make up for everything in this one jutsu to prove the point that im still the Doku clans raising flame . "
With that said the young Inori Yasuragi would begin to chain together several hand signs together in perfect sync .Finally clutching her hands together the Doku would inhale a deep breath from around her and begun to expel a large cloud of smog from her mouth . It would seem that Inori mastered the skill in a matter of minutes and without having to do it extra times . A serious look would come upon her face as she stared down Dokuso .
" See master I'm still your number one pupil and I'm glad that even though time has pasted and I've had other things on my plate I can still shine brighter then the sun in anything that I do . "
Dokuso would remain quite but the same stern and powerful stare was all that came from the old man . He knew of his student's abilities and dare not doubt him . But Inori had no firm idea that Dokuso held such praise for the Kunoichi and never mistrusted her dedication to the village and her clan .
" Now master watch as I take this jutsu and make it better . I will do it without inhaling at all and expel a greater cloud of smog . "
Inori was always confident in her abilities as a Kunoichi and only wished to explain further to Dokuso that she was the shining hope of the Hidden volcano .
" No Inori that will not be needed at this point in time you have showed me that you are in fact worth of the clan name Doku your parents would be proud of your accomplishments . Now my child let us return to the village we have much to discuss as well as work on your next jutsu . Now just remember that I am a old man and don't have much time left the candle of my life span burns dim with every passing moment . There is still much to be said my child so without wasting another moment lets make our way to my tea shop . "
Once again Dokuso would turn his back to Inroi and start to make his way toward the village . A stern serious expression would be the only thing present on Inori's face . Was it all true what Dokuso was saying to her was her master , her sensai the man she considered a grandfather slowly burning away from the living world . But never the less the Yasuragi wouldn't waste another moment dwelling on the though of losing her master . But instead decided to rekindle old times and make the best of the time that they still had together . From the look in his eyes Inori knew . This old man of the shinobi world was prolonging his life for the simple matter of completing her own training . The hope and promising of the Doku clan living on through her and abilities as a shinobi .
" Yes Master Dokuso let us waste not another moment there is much to be done . "
Now it wouldn't be much longer before the two volcano shinobi reached Dokuso's tea shop . Looking around Inori would see the many familiar faces that all seemed to smile back at the kunoichi . They all seem to be happy about the return of Inori the princess of the Hidden volcano . Dokuso would lead the way to the private back room of the tea house where He and Inori could have private conversations as well as work on other jutsu while back there .
" Inori remove all your weapons and place them on the table . There is much work that needs to be done . "
without questioning Dokuso Inori removed all her weaponry and placed them on the table that Dokuso and herself were sitting at .
" Now while we talk we can get your weaponry ready by adding poison to them making them more deadly then before ."
Inori would simply nod as she proceeded to dip her weaponary into the bowl of poison that Dokuso had provided for her .
" So Inori tell me how is the lady Hokage treating you ? "
Inori could only look in amazement that Dokuso had taken a interest in her involvement as the Hokage's personal student and bodyguard .
" Well I'm not going to say that it's easy training is on a whole different level and the mission can be brute at times . But Ayami sensai is a fair ruler and believe a lot in her people and only wishes to be there for them like they were with her . The darkness that revolves around her is something i have never witness in my life . Yet with all that she still manages to keep her hopes high and fights off the evil within and around her . standing firm for what she believes it right and meaningful . I have regrets in joining her efforts to bring about a better age in the ninja world . "
Inori stated as she continued to dip weaponry into pots of poison and leaving to heat over a open flame . Dokuso would only look at his student with amazement and pride with each word that came out of her mouth . It seemed to him that over the five years that she was out and training she had expanded her own wisdom and had grown from a child to a well matured kunoichi . Dokuso couldn't help but shed a tear for the kunoichi's dreams of changing the world around them .
" It's a peaceful bliss this feeling of joy watching my only student grow and mature into a shining star of hope for a old man past his prime . "
" Haha master there is no need to shed a tear for me you'll always be my master . "
Inori stated with a smile as she went on from dipping kunai to dipping shurikens and needles .
" The times we had training ever since i was young are some of my most cherished moments . You ,me ,mother and father . They are what define my existence as a ninja . My childhood was filled with nothing but powerful memories and all children of this world should have a childhood like that before being taught the trife ways of the ninja world . But i do not question you and my father's actions when i was a kid. You both felt that it was wise to raise me as a shinobi and the times of wars were concrete details of what i would have to deal with later on in life . Without you too i would of ended up a retired kunoichi like my mother or god forbid some ninja housewife . You opened my eyes to the pain around me and the suffering of others . Making me the one golden hope to change everything in this world . With your teaching and that of lady Hokage I will indeed change this world . "
