The sound of wood cracking met the small boys ears as the sight of the kunai hitting the tree to the left of the dot met his eyes. Though he hadn't hit his target dead on, he hadn't thrown it into the bushes this time. The which he felt was a great improvement, though not enough of such that he'd get too excited. In fact the boy frowned at the fact that his second attempt had also been a miss, as he walked up to retrieve the blade from the tree. He gave the kunai a quick tug with his left hand to release it from the trees grasp and walked back to his position twenty five meters back. The boy took a deep breath and then released it before bringing the kunai up from his side. He snapped his wrist and let the blade fly.

The boy stood for several seconds staring at the tree as he played the scene of the kunai flying into the same patch of bushes again over in his mind. He squinted even harder as he finally let his arm down and rubbed his neck with his right hand. Finally he released himself from his own amazement at how terrible he was doing and proceeded to walk towards the bushes to find the again lost kunai. As he walked he considered how at this rate he'd be the greatest person to call if someone needed something found. However if they needed something thrown they had better call on someone else. Just as he was getting on his hands and knees to crawl back into the bushes he remembered where the blade had been last time and decided to search the area in front of the bushes first this time.

As he should have guessed, the blade was of course not sitting just in front of the bushes waiting to be easily found. The small Nara squated down and looked into the bushes as he sighed at the fact that he would indeed have to crawl through it to find the kunai yet again. He once again got on his hands and knees and began to slowly pick through the twigs, leaves, and dirt for any hint of where the kunai had landed or lodged itself. He shifted his body around alot as he moved, in hopes of jarring the blade loose from a bush and cause it to fall to the ground. Hopefully as it would do such there would also be a ray of light hit it and cause Rhaim to see and recover it without searching for too terribly long.

The shaking technique yielded no results as the kunai did not drop to the ground or make any noise in the bushes or catch a glint of light or doing anything at all to aid the boy in finding it. Before he wasted much more energy on tasks that wouldn't help him find the kunai, the boy stopped and began thinking about how far off course from the tree the kunai had been. With that fresh in his mind he began to crawl in a half moon arc outward from the tree in the direction of where it had gone in order to improve his chances of finding the still lost blade. The image of his sisters coming up to see how he was doing and finding him in the bushes played through his mind and he turned his head and eyes from side to side and patted the ground with his hands.

As the boy came over the same patch of ground for a fourth time without finding the kunai, he pulled himself out from under the brush again. Just as his head came out a ray of sunshine shone down on a patch of grass four inches from him with a kunai standing straight up and down in the ground. The boy squinted at the blade as it basked in the light before reaching out with his left hand and grabbing hold of it. As he finished exiting the brush and stood to his feet, he mentally beat himself up again for not checking the area in front of the bushes well enough. The steps back to his throwing position were quick and marked as he did not want to have to drag himself through that brush again. Taking an extra long time to line up his throw, the boy launced the kunai at the tree and triedto focus more on the right side of the dot so that it wouldn't fly off to the left this time.

The boys squinting eyes shut for a moment as the kunai left his hand and headed for the tree. As he heard the sound of metal meeting wood he sighed happily and slowly opened his eyes hoping that he hadn't hit a different tree by mistake. He let a slight smile start of his face briefly as he realised that not only had he hit the right tree but he had also hit the white dot. Though it was only an inch from the far left of the dot, it was still a solid hit none-the-less. His gait towards the tree held a bit more confidence as he finally entertained the thought that perhaps he could do this with practice after all. His only wish was that someone had been here to maybe give him some advice while he practiced. However there was no one and so he'd have to make do on his own. He gained the kunai from the tree once more and returned to his throwing position. With another deep breath he focused a bit more on the center of the target this time as he threw.

Slowly his head sunk again as the boy watched the kunai whiz into the same patch of bushes to the left of the tree. He brought his hands up and ran them through his hair slowly and he squinted at the bushes, half imagining the bushes throwing the kunai back at him with even better accuracy than he had. Since the bush took no such action he walked slowly up to it yet again and stopped a few meters in front of it to thoroughly search the area before the bush this time. He'd be a fool if he somehow overlooked it being outside the bush for a third time. Confident that it was not it fact outside the bush but rather inside, the young Nara got back down onto his hands and knees and began crawling into the brush again. The landscape underneath the brush was actually quite familiar to Rhaim by now and he found himself moving through it a bit more quickly than his previous times.

Despite the fact that the area under the brush had become so much more familiar to Rhaim he still did not find the kunai with any greater ease. However the thought of leaving the days training without the weapon was not an option to the young boy and so he was not about to give up on his search. His clothes were getting rather dirty and his hands and face were developing minor scratches but still he looked for any small clue as to where the kunai had settled inside of the bush. Unfortuneately he couldn't just look for broken branches and leaves since he had been crawling around in there so much that he had broken much of the brush himself. The boy stopped to sip a bit of water while he was still searching and decided to slow down and check in front of the brush once more. Though he was fairly certain that it was not there, he would not be suprised if it was the first thing he saw outside of the bushes.

Rhaim walked up to the river and stared down into the blue flowing water before him. The morning was still young and he had completed a rather large amount of the required training for graduation. That combined with the fact that, though he was not against training, he was too lazy to bother with too much required work, made him feel that he deserved a relaxing swim. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes enjoying the sound of the water moving past. Upon reopening his eyes he turned around and found a tree to hang his pack with his gear. He took off his gloves, shirt, and shoes, so as to minmize the amount of his clothing that got wet. The young Nara slid into the water and began his swim across the way. Though the swim was meant to be primarily relaxing, there was nothing that said he couldn't also find some training value in the activity.

Rhaim soon found that swimming across the river was not as easy nor as relaxing as he thought it would be. Though he had only just begun, he already felt a terrible cramp form in his leg that required him to latch onto the shore that he was still near enough to and rest. He squinted out over the stretch of water as it flowed all about his body, wondering if coming out here all alone was such a good idea. If he were to die out here because he didn't tell anyone where he was going his sisters would kill him. After briefly analyzing the situation and his thoughts, Rhaim decided that his sisters would probably not kill him since he likely wouldn't die from trying to swim across a river. The worst that could happen to him would be for him to give up and learn nothing from the experience. However that wasn't his way, though advancing was out of the question at the immediate moment due to his need to rest out the cramp.

Rhaim could slowly feel the cramp dissipate and so he released himself once more into the freedom of the water. He decided to start out with a breast stroke that his sisters had tried to teach him a few years back, but he had failed at it then. Unsure as to whether or not he was doing it correctly he pressed onward, hoping that he made some advancement towards the far side of the river. The water was actually relaxing to the young Nara, even though it was still quite cool in the morning. As he kicked he wished that he had rolled up his pant legs so that they weren't causing as much drag as they were. The fact that he left his suspenders on didn't seem to bother him much, actually he hardly even remembered that he had them on. His eyes loosened up from their usually squint to a more rounded sleepy lazy look. Curiously enough this was usually another sign that his mind was beginning to wander.

Rhaim snapped slowly out of his daydream about napping in a tree again to find that he was now nearing the center of the river. It was quite the suprise to the young lad that getting lost in thought would actually cause him to get forward towards a goal. Though it was actually probably dumb luck that had enabled him to swim so far without realising it. In the end though it really didn't matter how he swam to the far side so long as he actually swam there on his own. The boy also was quite happy to see that the breast stroke was working quite well for him. So happy with it in fact that he decided to try on a back stroke for th next portion of the swim. As he flopped over to his back, he immediately saw the advantage of being able to breathe the whole time, as opposed having to wait every few strokes with the brest stroke. As he swam, his eyes stared lazily up at the blue sky, which was still very much in the early morning phase of its coloring.

When Rhaim finally took his attention from the sky he found that he was past the halfway point of the river. He only had a third of the way to cross and he'd have accomplished his goal of getting across the river. He was a bit stunned and somewhat dissapointed to find that he looked at this event as a training exercise in the same mindset that he had viewed the previous jutsu lessons. This small understanding told the Nara that no matter what he did anymore, he'd always find some way to make it a training event. There was no way that he'd let himself get beaten by some monkey again. Rhaim perked up as he remembered the monkey and how it had humiliated him. There was still time for him to hunt down that monkey and teach it a lesson for hitting him with a kunai and then laughing at him. However the training for graduation were more important at the moment and so those would take priority.

Pulling himself up out of the water, the young Nara conveniently spotted a log that he could use to cross the river. After retrieving and putting his clothes back on Rhaim looked back at the river and nodded, thanking it for its' time with him. He then squinted his eyes, placed his hands in his pockets, and headed back to finish the required training.

Kuro jogged to the training area and began practicing her aim with some kunai on a thick spruce tree.
