Kaz was taken back a bit at the discovery of her coming out here to apologize. Smiling some to himself he looked over at her showing his smirk. Also hearing that she saw him as amazing, ideas started fill his mind. His face turned a hair red from the complement. He generally was not used to them yet always strives for recognition."A Kage's apology huh? Should we maybe keep that just between us? We wouldn't want people thinking you go around saying that to everyone." His smile left his face for a moment as if lost in thought. "It must be hard being a leader of a village like this. I don't think I could do it." Letting off the spear he was leaning on he sat down becide his Kage, partially due to his fatigue from the training. Laying the spear beside him."I just don't wana be tied down. Don't get me wrong I love having you as my lady. Don't you ever just want to get out and do your own thing?"

Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
Kaori hummed, then nodded as she tapped a bare foot on the floor of the dojo, "Often times I do wish to be just another face in the crowd. But I was given my title because of my dedication to my people. I will dye before anyone is allowed to harm those that I call mine. And Suna is mine."Kaori said, voice a protective growl, "Its why I developed my demon blossoms and the diamond lotus. I have another lotus I need to teach myself to create still. Everything and anything to protect you, my brother and the rest of Suna."
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Kaz laughed some out loud trying to not sound like he was mocking her. "We are all loyal my lady. I am not doubting your conviction. I was merely wondering if you might jump at an opportunity. You know, like when you were a normal shinobi here?" Kaz stood up quickly turning to her dusting his pants off. White was not the best color to be sitting on the ground with. "Suna is our home and I am flattered you would give do that for me. But do not think I wouldn't do the same for you, Even if you weren't the Kazekage." Finishing cleaning up he looked back to his lady. "Let us make a deal, I promise to dedicate myself to whatever I do. If you make it a point to be yourself once in a while, How bout we get together later tonight after your duties. And its NOT a date." Unable to hide the smile on his face he continued. "I just wanted to show you some new jutsu. I would just show you now but I haven't worked out all the kinks yet, Tonight would give me the time I need to perfect it." Leaning in to her slightly."Its a Wind, Lightning combination jutsu. I also have been keeping more of an open mind with Ninjutsu."

Kaori smiled slightly and nodded her head, "Sounds interesting. I'll take you up on that Kaz. And if you dedicate yourself to your craft, I'll be less Kazekage, and more Kaori from time to time."Kaori promised. She'd be lying if she said that being the Kazekage wasn't draining sometimes. Being the leader of an entire village was mentally draining and stressful, and one never really had time for them self anymore. "Perhaps we could spar sometime as well. You always spar with my brother, but never me." She teased.

Liking what he heard he held out his hand trying to make sure she was serious. He kept his glove on not wanting to drain her chakra. Having this blood flowing through him was almost a curse at times, but wearing a pair of gloves was a small price to pay. After shaking her hand he turned his back trying to contain his excitement."I know it didn't come out in the best way, and something was influencing me before... But.. You are beautiful. I didn't want a jutsu taking the credit this time." Smirking before vanishing along with his spears.

Kaori blinked at when Kaz vanished. He was always doing things like that. She chuckled slightly and turned to Nova, "Well, it seems like our time here is done. Let's head back to the office in case someone needs us."Kaori sighed, then turned and left the dojo, Nova on her heels.

Aki walked in with her bag, then looked around for any spare projectiles that would be on the floor. She could see right away that there were already more than there had been at the training grounds. She walked around, grabbing the different small projectiles and shoving them in the bag, being wary of anyone training in the building. She came across a kunai that was buried all the way in to the wall, and she was stuck there for five whole minutes trying to pull the thing out. Strength wasn't her strong suit, that was for sure. She eventually got it out, then continued on her way to the Academy. [ 2 // 3 ]

Akitana walked back in to the Dojo and grabbed a book off the wall before going to her own little private spot to train. She read up on the different styles she'd like to learn and picked a style that suited her. Once that was dealt with, she picked the justu she wanted to learn and put the book down. She took a deep breath before getting in to the stance mentioned in the book and staying there with her eyes closed. She wanted to get used to this stance as it seemed she would be using it a lot. At least that's the impression she got from the description anyways. [ 1 // 2 ]
The kitsune started to get in and out of the stance, hoping that she'd be able to learn how to change the stance fast enough that she'd be able to get in it at a moment's noticed. She then practiced lunging forward and then back repeatedly, getting comfortable and used to the stance she was in. It wasn't that difficult, but she wanted it to be as comfortable as breathing. She got back out of the stance, being comfortable in it, and then moved on to the next jutsu in the style. [ 2 // 2;; Footing one Learned! ]
Akitana needed someone else for this jutsu. She walked over to one of the staff of the dojo and asked them to help her out, assuring them that she wouldn't hurt them. She went back to her previous spot and read back over the book, telling the person to wait one moment. She shifted her feet slightly to get in to the first stance, still holding the book, and then read up on what she should do with her hands. She practiced the movements a little bit before looking back at the person she had brought over with her. [ 1 // 2 ]
"I need you to punch me, mister," she said to the male standing in front of her. He gave her a confused look. "You want me to hit you...? Like... full on punch you?" He asked in disbelief. Aki nodded, pointing to her sternum. "Could you aim it here please? It'll make it easier for me." The male nodded, giving her a faint sure, before lunging at her and aiming a punch for her chest. Aki redirected him with the parry technique, sending the male stumbling a bit as he brushed right by her. Aki let out a sigh of relief and then right back to the book. [ 2 // 2;; Parry Learned! ]
Aki turned to the male and asked him if he could stay a little while for she'd need him for the other jutsu. He nodded and she told him he could sit down. While the male took a seat on the floor, Aki put the book down and proceeded to get herself ready for the next step. She got back in to the first stance, taking a deep breath as she did so. She slowly sunk a little lower, holding that stance for a while. She wasn't going to go straight in to the next stance for a fear of hurting herself in the process. These were muscles she hadn't really worked before and she wanted to make sure she'd be alright. [ 1 // 4 ]
The kitsune sunk a little lower, placing her hands together in an almost praying formation. She took in deep and slow breaths, clearing her thoughts and feelings from her mind and reaching a slight meditative state. She made a note to herself to use first stance instead of this horse stance she was doing. She guessed it was named that because on looked almost as if they were straddling a horse saddle. She wondered what use this would have in battle, if it had any. Maybe it was just for balance instead of having an offensive use? She wouldn't know in till she tried at least. [ 2 // 4 ]
With a little bit more effort she sunk further and finally reached the point where she was fully in the stance. Her legs were a shoulder's width apart and bent at almost a complete ninety degrees. Her back was almost perfectly straight, and her hands were clasped in front of her, almost as if she was using them for balance. Aki brought up her hands in to a formation that would almost suggest she was going to use the parry technique but never went anywhere with it, she just sat there, taking slow deep breaths. After a few moments she called for the other male to get her a chair and she stood up. [ 3 // 4 ]
The male soon came back with the chair that the kitsune had requested. Akitana sat in the chair to make sure that her feet touched the ground before getting back in to the stance while sitting on the chair. Once she was sure that the height was right she stood back up and moved to the front of the chair. Here she slowly sunk in to the stance once more, not stopping in till she was sure she was all the way where she was before. From there she asked the male to slowly try and slide the chair under her. He got up and moved over to the chair, pushing under aki with no force needed, and in satisfaction that she got the stance the kitsune smiled and stood. She picked up the book and read on the next jutsu. [ 4 // 4;; Footing Two: Horse Stance Learned! ]
The female asked the male in front of her for one last favor, to get her a bell. The boy looked slightly confused, but left anyways and came back soon with a small bell. Akitana dismissed him, then moved over to a spot where she could hang the bell just right in front of her face. She moved in to the first stance and brought her hands up, taking a second to calm her mind and focus at the task at hand; she had to ring the bell without moving the metal shell at all. She had never heard of anyone doing this before and she could barely hold back her excitement at being able to do such a feat at this. [ 1 // 4 ]
She wanted to practice the movement of the jutsu first, so she took turns striking her hand forward in much the same spear shape she had used for another jutsu earlier that day. She stabbed at the air like that for a short amount of time before trying it on a harder surface. This would probably be one of the last jutsu she practiced before going to the Kazekage's office and asking her if there were any more... difficult missions she could send her on. Something that would maybe get her out of the village perhaps? It had been so long since she last was outside... [ 2 // 4 ]
Once she had gotten the movement down she moved to the bell, trying to do the jutsu successfully. The first try was an absolute failure; the shell of the bell swung wildly when she hit it and she had to grab it to stop it's violent movement. She wouldn't stop there though, she kept trying and trying and swore to herself that she would get it. Maybe she would actually take a break after this; sit down and take a breather before doing anything else. She had done enough as it is that day and she was beginning to feel the wear in her bones. [ 3 // 4 ]
After a long string of unsuccessful attempts, she finally got the technique right. Her hand quickly darted out and the bell run, but the shell didn't move an inch. She let out a triumphant yell, dancing around in joy for a little bit before coughing and composing herself. She got back in to the stance and repeated the technique a few times to make sure she had it down. Once she had repeated it several times, she flopped on to her butt and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She laid back and decided to just lay there a little while... [ 4 // 4;; Bell Ring Learned! ]

Tyrika came into the dojo and immediately went to her preferred heavy-bag, slipping her headphones over her ears and getting lost in the music. She had one and only one taijutsu style in mind. She was going to learn kaiser fist. A style that revolved around heavy hits and soaking the damage unharmed. A few people in history used this to brilliant effect. The first two techniques were simple. One was an armor type that utilized her raiton chakra and her muscles to allow her to move for long periods without tiring. She pushed the chakra into her muscles and lashed out at the bag. With each hit the string and the bag reverberated. The girl had some power behind her punches. Every punch would cause the bag to sag heavily and move backwards several feet. She mastered the first stage of her taijutsu style in moments. The next set was all simple. One technique required chakra. It was the sudden straight punch that did. That one she would save for last. As she punched the bag she could feel her form getting better. It was easy enough to do, just punch, punch, punch. Add chakra here and there then punch again. Utilize strength, headbutt something. Everything about the style was simple but brutally effective. She was just going through the motions to acquire the style. Do people read these things? Why should they its just a training post. Yadayada training. All the trainings. She moved into stage four of her style and kept right on punching things. The armor techniques were the point of the style. After mastering those, it would be hard to deal with her.

Kris entered into the Dojo's locker room, taking her large sword off her back and hanging it up in her usual locker. She hated having to leave her handmade blade for some stupid kendo sword, but she got in trouble with Kaori last time she brought her blade - which was almost as big as she was - into the dojo.
She went through her stuff and placed her dagger, resting along her greatsword as she clasped her hands together and offered up a silent prayer, it was her usual ritual as her way of remembering her parents.
She picked up her Kendo Sword, still large by Kendo standards as she put it across her back and entered into the main hall of the Dojo, looking to spot Tyrika, though it wasnt hard, the girl smelt like Cigarettes and had clunky black headphones over her ears. Kris decided she would approach her and try talking to her, see if her voice got through the loud music she was always playing. "Oooiii, Tyrika-san! Helllloooooo" She would be rather loud and obvious, waving the tail trying to get her attention, worst case she was just going to flick her tail infront of her, that should get her attention at least.

Aki slowly opened her eyes, letting out a small sound. She must have fallen asleep at some point while she was resting here. She groggily sat up, running a hand through her hair. How long had she been sleeping? The sun was still up so it couldn't have been that long. She stood and stretched, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the purple haired girl she had seen earlier at the Kazekage's office. She smiled widely, her ears perking up and her tail swishing happily. She was about to greet the familiar female before another person seemed to get to her first. The kitsune seemed to deflate, letting out a soft whimper before making her way outside to the back. Time for some bow practice.

Tyrika steadied the heavybag as someone was trying to get her attention. She waited until the massive punching bag stopped moving to take her headphones off and spin the volume dial on her music to a lower volume, as a fast tempo dance song blasted from the earpieces. She looked over at Kris with a bit of a surprised expression. "So animated. I take it that you had a change of heart as to our potential symbiosis?" She asked her out of curiosity.

Kris sighed and nodded, she hated being wrong but she would suck it up if it meant she might get a partner who didnt run away. She noticed the heavy bag, always a fun thing to hit and work on, when or if you didnt end up splitting it. "Do you use any weapons, do you have any kind of weapon training? Or were you just planning on hitting an unmoving unfeeling bag for the next hour?" She teased a little bit, she never did like sparring with just a heavy bag, it wasnt ever quite enough for her, she always wanted to feel the live movement, the heat of battle. It was one of her favourite things.
Feeling a bit of a show off, Kris threw the heavy kendo stick in the air, sending it spinning and as it came down she got a solid and firm grip with it, she would spin it along her wrist before placing it across her back.

Tyrika nodded and patted a small leather pouch that was rounded on her hip. It wasnt large enough to hold a single kunai but had something inside it. "My entire body has been honed into a weapon.The bag does serve its purpose, its good for learning fundamentals of any given style and for a good workout. It sounds to me like you wish a sparring match however? She said crossing her arms over her chest now.
Aki took her place in front of the archery targets behind the dojo, taking an arrow and her bow from their resting place on her back. She knotched the arrow and lifted her bow, taking aim at the targets. The kitsune took a deep breath and pulled the string back as far as she could before letting it fly. The arrow flew true and hit the target in front of her with a stern and audible "Thhwwwuummppp". Akitana continued this for a little bit in till she was able to hit a few consecutive bullseyes and then walked to the target and yanked her arrows from it before returning back to her spot. [ 1 // 1;; Simple Shot Learned! ]
Akitana closed her eyes, focusing for a moment. She took in everything around her; how far away the target was, how fast the wind was blowing and in what direction, the warmth of the sun on her ears, the sounds of people training inside. She opened her eyes and hovered her hand over one of the arrows, not yet notching it in to the arrow. She had her eyes focused on the target and what she was about to do. She quickly grabbed the arrow, notched it, then let it fly. It hit the edge of the target but her draw was more than fast enough. She tried once more and managed to get it on the last ring of the target before removing the arrows and continuing. [ 1 // 1;; Quick Draw! Learned! ]
