The trail was now becoming more visible by the step and it could be seen part of the ground beneath the grass. He couldnt be thinking aboyut two things at once so he stopped and dropped down to the floor..
" Ok silly .. think... what ever it is that you can never eat in breakfast will probably be something commonly eaten during lunch and supper... but whaat?.... wait a minute.... I Got It!!!!!!! You can never eat LUNC or SUPPER in breakfast thats it!!! thats it right? Say so and give me the next cxause im on fire!"
He lifted his head up from the ground where he was dropped his dreadlocks all scattered around the place, his neck was hurting a bit from the pressure but to lay done was a nice thing....

Kane had to admit, the course looked interesting at first. He had had a childhood love for scrambling around and climbing, and stuff like that after all. When he knew he was safe. However he soon regretted the words that came out of his mouth when Natamo advanced with gleaming eyes and tied ROCKS TO HIS ANKLES!!! AND HIS WAIST!!! Kane almost protested, but his upbringing held him back long enough for his brain to tell him that Natamo, as his teacher, knew best. He listened to his instructions and nodded before staring a little bleakly at the course. At least his headache seemed to have disappeared at the impending suffering he was going to go through. Well, maybe he was exaggerating it a lot...
Hey, at least he would have no chance of falling right? The vines were pretty thick and on the ground to boot after all. Grasping onto that small thought for what little comfort it offered (Kane was quite aware that he was dramatising the whole incident in his mind but if that was what it took to get himself to do it, so be it) he grasped towards the vines. He didn't know whether to go it slow or quick, so he decided to go it slow first. At least, if he fell, he'd know what he was doing wrong more.

[Kouri, the vine net is laid across the ground ^^ Not in the air. Though...that might be bonus training. twisted ]
"Well done, Orochi. Now, riddle me this one - there is a house with all four of its sides facing south. If a bear walks past the house, what color would it be?" Natamo knew this one might require a little more thinking, and turned to watched Kane starting his own training. She held back her laughter and decided that after this round of training, she'd have them both do something fun instead of inflicting bodily and mental harm on them. She smiled, though, and leaned back against her rock. Seshiro was doing well and she knew Kane would manage as well.

As Seshiro was celebrating his smarts... suddelly his jaw dropped. He lifetd up to a sitting position on the floor,mouth opened and eyes looking blanckly at Natamo leaning on her rock....
" Ok now that makes no sense at all...."
he sighed as a gust of wind blew past him making his breath go sideways. Seshiro grabbed his legs in front of him and placed them touching sole with sole. he pulled them as close as possible holding both soles together with his hands in the tip of his legs and then bend over to the front trying to touch his feet with his leg... all this while trying to think
"theres like no way all the walls in a house would be overlooking south.... then they wouldnt close in?"
His thoughs made his head spin. could she be talking of a wall? no it couldnt be and what the hell it had todo with a ber or even its color? it didnt made any sense... but he guessed he had to figure each part little by little.. first to solve the dilemma of the house.
"so the i need a place that no atter wich way i look ill be looking south. The place most definately gotta be the highest place around and that theres no way you can go to any direction........North Pole.. thats it whatever way you go.. youll be going south since its the highest top..... that would mean that the house would be on the north pole.... but what does it have to do with the color of a bear?.."
the Sesnse in that small detail shocked him why would the placing of a house have to do with the bear...... unless. it mean the type of bear.....
" yes thats it.. In the north pole there are polar bears and polar bears are white..... Heyy Natamo Senseii.. I got this one too.... The Bear is white!!!! Im on Fire .. guess i want that dumb after all jeje... just needed a push"

Natamo clapped her hands together and laughed. "That's right, Orochi - a white bear, or a polar bear. You really are getting the hang of these! Let's see...alright, here's one. On my way to Tonato I saw a shinobi with 4 squad mates. Each squad mate had 4 scrolls, and each scroll had 4 summons, and each summon had 4 minions. How many were going to Tonato?" Natamo knew that the numbers were something to consider, sort of, and if Seshiro thought too much about them, he'd get lost in the middle of them. But he was getting through them relatively quickly, and Natamo was secretly quite smug about that fact. He was smart - not a lot of people could guess riddles so easily.

Seshiro frowned into thinking again.. he was aware that this time there where too many numbers for his taste Then again it was a mater of shinobis and numbers .. thsi would definately count as in a mission so he needed to concentrate on her words..
" whao so um... lets seee... 1 guy.. and his 4 squad members... that makes 5 .. um 4 crolls.. with 4 summons each... damit.. thats a lot..."
He was missing a detail.. he knew it yet he culdnt figure out what. In His head a whole lot of numbers where pasing by blocking from view all the detail words fro the riddle. suddenlly when all numbers moved aside and his head stumbled against an important detail
" Natamo Sensei.... The answer is 1 and only 1.... you said you had encountered them on your way to Tonato.. not that they where in their way to Tonato so.. basically your the only one going to Tonato.. am i right?"
He was a little dubious on this one but he was pretty sure that was it.. it just had tobe... at least the wording wa st that way... or was it just to confuse him?

Natamo clapped her hands lightly and nodded her head. "That's right, Seshiro. I was the only one going to Tonato. You're better at this than you led me to believe." Natamo chuckled and looked up at the sky, debating how to finish. A relatively simple one, but still one that would make him think. "Alright...one last one. Riddle me this: the person who makes it doesn't want it, the person who buys it doesn't use it, and the person that uses it never sees it. What is it?" Natamo brought her bright brown eyes down and matched them with Seshiro's yellow ones, searching his eyes for the intelligence he seemed to be hiding behind there.

Seshiro smiled at Natamo at her praise to his matter up in the head.. He litsened carefully to her words since he was begining to learn that we shouldnt always look for the obvious and yet sometimes we where ... it was just dependant of the moment and situation
" Well yeh I guess my haid aint full of just Dreadlocks hehe"
The last riddle was a bit more weird.. implying three set of things.. three facts.. that went up toghether...

Considering for a while he needed to place himself in the position of the three people mentioned in the riddle. Seshiro looked away from Natamo's eyes and into the lake and decided to take a stroll close to the edge of the lake. He looked at his face's reflection in the water trying to picture himself as craftsman of some sort.... If he was doing some sort of thing... why wouldnt he want it?... as he looked around he saw Kane traning in the vines... an remembered his past training..
" Stone walls... why does this ring a bell somehow?.... stone..... Tomb stone... a coffin.. thats gotta be it... if i made a coffin... i wouldnt want to be the one using it.. caus that would mean id be dead.. the people who buys it is not the one who's gonna use it since he is still alive.. and the one who uses it never see's it since he is already dead... thats It!!!!"
He ran towards Natamo while shouting out and waving his Hand towards Kane
" Yo Kane.... thanks dude.. you might not be aware of it but thanks to you i just finished my training!"
then he stopped right in front of Natamo just like before looking straight at her eeyes.
" I have the answer... it is .. a coffin.... he who makes it does not uwant it, who buys it its for another person to use not himslf, and the one who actually uses it is dead so he wnt se it..."
He smiled with bare teeth showing his glitsening white perfect teeth and his perfectly curved and long fangs in an excecive happines.

"Excellent, Orochi!" Natamo squealed, joy in her eyes. She definitely liked this Orochi kid! He was on his toes, and had answered all five riddles correctly. She clapped her hands together and debated sending him through the vine net as well, to help and motivate Kane, but she would prefer to have him train what he felt were his weaknesses. She chuckled, though, crossing her arms. "Well, Seshiro, you've definitely made me want to go and find more riddles on the mainland next time I go visit. I'll have to bring back something a little more difficult for ya." Natamo gave him a proud smile and let her eyes travel over to Kane, and clapped her hands together, her momentum carrying over. "Go on Kane! You can do it!"

[Lol I see Maya XD Edited!]
Kane had taken no more than one step when he fell flat on his face. It seemed that he still wasn't used to the added weight of the rocks tied to his waist and legs.
"Ow..." he groaned, almost with a whiny tone. But Kane was relishing his new, manlier role, and there was no way that he'd let his senpai and teacher see him in such a state. He was up before you could blink. He did a few experimental stationary jogs first, to get used to his new body weight and centre of balance. However he soon got bored of that and decided to start again. He'd decided that going slow was too impractical to use in battle life. He'd have to go at least normal speed which is what he promptly tried to do.

However, yet again Kane stumbled and it was by the good graces of the heavens above that he did not fall on his bum. He did however lurch heavily forward and land on his palms. For an agonising moment it was like his wrists were on fire. However, Kane moved to a sitting position and flexed his wrists, and the pain soon disappeared. There were a few bruises on his hands from the thickness of the rope though... It was at that moment that Kane vaguely registered his name being called from somewhere. Turning towards the voice source, he was surprised to hear the rest of the sentence. He gave Seshiro a sheepish smile and raised a hand into the air.
"Um.. no problem I guess, man," he said with a nod. Then he turned back to the net. This should have been a piece of cake. It still should be a piece of cake. What was up with him today? Maybe he was still woozy from the genjutsu... but, he wouldn't let that stop him. Kane resolved not to take a rest until he finished the training exercise. And he wouldn't land on his bum. If he fell he could fall in his hands or knees but he would always make it look smooth and at least partly intentional.

[ gonk !!!!!]
No sooner than when Kane made that vow had his foot landed squarely on one of the knots in the vines. He could not control his momentum and fell forwards again. Kane again used his palms to support him and winced. He'd have to look where he was going... Right now, it seemed like a pretty 'duh' factor, but when he had been trying to finish the course quickly and balance himself his gaze had been straight ahead in order to keep his mind on his target, as well as keep his sense of balance. Kane couldn't imagine how the agility masters would have trained to gain their dexterity... at any rate, Kane heaved himself up again. He tried to walk in a normal pace, but made sure to look where he went this time. He didn't want a repeat of last time.

Kane finally managed to take a few steps across the vines. He swayed dangerously on every step, like he was learning the Suiken under Shuga's tutelage or something. He almost resembled a krumper or a street dancer from all the bodily manouevres he was doing to keep his balance. This was not a good start, Kane... if he didn't get a grip soon, he knew that he would soon fall. Not having anything to hold on to was certainly hurting him, although he reluctantly supposed that it was, in the end, for his own good.
He carefully picked his way across the vine course. He made sure to look out for the dips and bumps in the net and curl his feet around them, almost like he was gripping onto them for balance. Kane was beginning to feel like one of those circus performers he'd seen in the mainland now...

[DICE SUCK TONIGHT]
Kane was making progress, albeit quite small progress. However it all came crashing down literally when he mistook a step. Again Kane fell onto his knees. It was quite frustrating really... now that he thought about it, Kane thought that falling on your knees was no less embarrassing than falling on your bum... falling period was embarrassing. He was sure that Seshiro could do this course no sweat. He was certainly a lot stronger than Kane since he'd managed to do push-ups even with Natamo sitting on him.
But what had been his vow? He wouldn't stop to rest. No matter what Kane would keep going on. Half rolling his eyes at his pact with himself and half regretting it now, Kane got back up again and resumed his journey. He guessed that his vow, silly as it was, did motivate him...
