It seemed that Satoshi had mistaken her personality for anxiety towards something. It was just something Inoyuri always had and that was something Shikane had been trying to work on. To try to uplift her friend's spirits and show her what she can really do and that she was worth everything in this world. "Ya, the exam would be next week." Shikane piped up to let them know that there was one next week. It seemed that Inoyuri had decided to go ahead and offer a helping hand. This can be Shikane's chance to sleep, learn more about Satoshi, sleep, or actually train. Sleeping sounded better but she knew that she had a reputation to uphold, being a Nara. With a soft groan as her hands outstretched to the skies above as her ribs popped in few places, "Ain't nuthin' wrong with a wee bit more train'in." It had been awhile since she worked on her bloodline training anyways.

โฑโฐโฑThe massive crow on his shoulder abruptly jumped onto his head from his shoulder. It began pecking at his scalp. While it did so he responded by waving his hands above him and trying to push the bird off. "She has anxiety, Toshi boy! Don't be so clueless!" It said this to him in jest while it continued its playful pecks. Once he stopped he began laughing and crowing mockingly at his master from atop his head. "Who's the bird brain here? You! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" Yogen cared little for the misunderstanding itself and more enjoyed the opportunity to tease the budding summoner. Satoshi then rubbed his noggin and shook his head in frustration. "That really hurt! You're such a jerk, Yogen!" He continued rubbing his head to ease the residual minor pain. Although Satoshi was not a fan of his teasing but he had to put up with it because the bird and he were soul bound. Still, he began to feel guilty for asking his new friend such a personal question even unintentionally. He also did not realize that his crow was trying to lighten the mood a little. When Shikane mentioned the possibility of more training he figured that he had to start on that. He was also so focused on studying the reading material that he had not put it into practice yet. And since the Maruton exam was not until next week anyway he figured that he may as well learn some basic techniques. "Thanks, but I think I've got everything down and will review next week." Satoshi said in response to Inoyuri with a smile. He had some basic technique scrolls read in his jacket pocket that he retrieved."Good idea! I'll go train now and you guys can join me if you want." With a smile he walked toward the training area with his scrolls in hand. Yogen flapped his wings over Satoshi's ears before jumping up and flying over him.
He started by reading his Uchiha scroll and realized that there was only one technique that he could really learn at this time. He started by throwing some shuriken at a target to practice. Then he focused his chakra into his wrist to try to form the special seal. After twenty minutes of doing so he managed to create the seal and store some of his shuriken. With the lightning seal embedded in his skin he was able to suddenly summon and throw his shuriken from his right wrist.

Satoshi then looked at a genjutsu scroll with some nerdy excitement. It was definitely his favorite subject and he was sure that he had his mother's talent for the illusionary arts. Yogen suddenly perched above the target he was using before and watched him practice his genjutsu. He started by forming hand seals and trying to use his chakra to conjure an illusory image. Eventually, he was able to create a very scary ghost that seemed to even frighten Yogen!

He then read the katon technique scroll to see what of the basics he should learn. Making fireballs would be super cool but did not seem possible at this time. Satoshi started channeling katon chakra into his skin to increase his resistance. After a few minutes, he was able to increase his flame resistance.

Inoyuri frowned at the pecking of Yogen the crow from the boy. She would have marched straight up to that crow and let him have what for! Maybe squeezing its wings in or throwing it in the Arashi vending machine. Of course that would have to be anybody but her. She could barely even muster a yell when frightened or angry. So Yuri would settled for watching in a bit hesitant matter to really intervene with the mocking bird and his master. The fight went off as quickly as it had begun and left the two standing there a little bit awkwardly than most people. Shikane mentioned the possibility of training together which Satoshi did appear most excited by. Yuri did smiled a little at the suggestion but wanted anything else than to sit down and lead another group training session again. She opened her mouth to add input but was too late,
"Good idea! I'll go train now and you guys can join me if you want."
Curses. Yuri looked over at Shikane. "I don't have much to train...but if you need help, Shikane, I can try."

Kanjuro stood in the open gateway of the Academy, his eyes trained on the various students and instructors as they parsed information I'm largely jovial note. The unlit cigarette pressed to his lips got chewed and passed to the other side as he ventured further inside and found the most basic, rankled, puppets laid out on a test bench. Twisted chakra formed into his palms as he began to form the threads he would connect to the dolls. And with a single cast outward, he connect them and lifted the puppets. His grasp of the chakra strings focused and the threads hardened into a physical line that Kanjuro used to pull the puppets towards himself as they slumped forward. Brows furrowed, a bead of sweat dripped down to his cheek as he watched their slow-gaited movement towards him.
[ Learned Puppetry Strings Technique and Grapple Hook ]
"Useless. Absolutely useless." He shouted as he let the strings on one of the dolls collapse and gripped the wrist of the opposite wrist with his now free hand.
As he pulled on the strings of his temporary puppet, they danced among one-another before they shifted into a new stance and the fallen one risen to take the stance of the other. His eyes fell to view the space between them and he smiled. At least something worked right. With a quick snap, he yanked the standing doll towards himself and gave it the command to pivot on its heels, which resulted in a spin that sent the doll into the benches beyond him.
[ Learned Indigo Secret Technique: Tragedy and Comedy and Puppet Dodge ]
"It'll be worthless to keep trying with these dolls. I should at the very least go home and try using the ones I've built... At least I can get a bit more strain out of them." The ashen-haired boy said as he took the cigarette from between his lips and tucked it behind his ear.
His footfalls lead him to the academy interior, wherein he sought proper study, instead of simply more physical practice. The first steps of what he sought were deeper entombed, scrolls and grimoires on the sealing arts. A shiver passed down the Hojo's spine as he worked his way through row after row of bookcase and shelf, loaded to bursting with the archaic works of elders on the myriad methods. When he finally found the works he sought, an oft visited part of the deeper library, he let loose an exasperated sigh.
Many visited the surface of the arts, after all, but my goal is somewhere deeper. Learn the doors, to understand the eventual locks. He reminded himself and settled into work. He consumed every scrap of paper, every ancient formula, each array, and memorized the styles and methods of the first manuals. As he stopped to take a break, his hand came to the bridge of his nose.
"Well. It is a journey. And they all begin with a summary destination."

The crow started to attack Satoshi rather roughly as her foot slid back as her hand went over to Inoyuri's arm, ready to grab her and move her out of the way. It didn't take long for the young Nara realized she was reading the crow's intentions all wrong. Her hand gently slid away from Inoyuri as she gave her a reassuring smile to let her know that everything was okay. While the smile was there, her grey hues watched the boy and the crow. She had seen them around but she never figured out exactly who they were. It seemed that Sato wanted to train himself but then invited them as her hues glanced over Inoyuri to see her reaction. She saw it. The slight twinge of frustration. Hmm. What should Shikane do? She heard her suggestion as Shikane shook her head and bring her finger up to her own lips as showing her to be quiet. With that, she slowly squatted down, her arms rested on her knees as she watched Satoshi closer. She wanted to get to know him. Uchiha. Those were scary bloodlines. As long Shikane kept her head on right, she should be okay from those bloodlines. Genjutsu. Another one. And Fire. Made sense. Most Uchiha's had fire as elements; if not all. After some watching, she realized something, the crow was watching her too. Figures. Crows were wickedly smart. It's why she never try to harm one or scare them away. Another thing that was puzzling, if he was Uchiha.. who are his parents? Was Toso really his father? She heard mixed rumors of father or uncle. Her father and herself believed there was more to the story than that but it was none of their business. As long Arashi was safe, then Arashi was safe. "Inoyuri-chan," She started, "I think it be time to figure out what ya elements be. What ya say?" She questioned her friend gently. Shikane already knew what few classes she was decent at and needed to work on them. Right now, her friend was her focus. Shikane always can catch up later.

โฑโฐโฑThe crow cackled from its perched position atop the target. "That black haired girl was watching you, clueless boy! What kind of shinobi are you going to be if you don't pay attention to your surroundings?!" The crow laughed mockingly as he chided Satoshi with his words. Satoshi ran towards Yogen and collected his shuriken from the target. He let the crow land on his shoulder before running back to where Inoyuri and Shikane were. He was unsure why they were not training with him but maybe it hurt their feelings that he jumped into his training too quickly. He caught his breath and bowed three times out of remorse. "Sorry if I was too impatient about the training. I can just hang out with you two if you want." Satoshi was always worried about setting a bad example and embarrassing Toso so he was perhaps overly nervous about the possibility that he offended them with his eagerness and that was why Shikane was watching him.

tab Returning to the academy after running an errand for his parents, Chosuke was eager to get back to training with Inoyuri and Shikane. Hopefully, they didn't get too far ahead of him while he was gone. 'If they did, then I'll just work twice as hard to catch up!' he reassured himself. Beaming with determination, he charged through the main entrance and began his search for his friends. Fortunately, they were still in relatively the same spot they had been earlier, so it didn't take too terribly long. "Inoyuri! Shikane!" he called out with a wave as he jogged up to them.
tab Coming to a halt next to them, Chosuke rejoined the group. "Sorry for having to run off like that. I almost forgot about the flour mom wanted me to pick up before training." he explained. It was at this point that the "ever-observant" Chosuke noticed that his friends had been had a new face in their company. The boy certainly had an eccentric look to him, sporting both a patch over one eye and a crow on his shoulder. 'Is he some sort of spooky pirate?' he pondered. Then again, as someone who appeared to have an aversion to wearing shirts, he certainly wasn't in any position to judge others on their looks. Besides, if he was hanging out with Inoyuri and Shikane, he was good in Chosuke's book. "Hey there. Don't think I've seen ya around before. I'm Chosuke. Nice to meetcha." he said in a friendly tone, grinning from ear to ear.

Sayeon would be standing on her tippy toes out of the corner of the window while watching Satoshi and his crow friend training in the classroom with some other people. Her young, hazel eyes widened with surprise while wriggling around outside. She had always found the boy super mysterious and wanted to try and pet that bird of his. The people in there talked some more and although Soyeon couldn't hear them, she still wanted to join them. Her long sleeves waggled around while opening the door and stepping into the room. "Satoshi-chaaaaaan!~" The younger girl waddled over towards the taller boy and placed her hands on her hips. The sleeves dangled around while her academy student goggles would fall down on top of her face. "Uwaaaaah!" Soyeon pushed the goggles on her forehead again before looking up at Satoshi. "Satoshi-chan, wanna learn jutsu together?~"

Tiny metallic clacks sounded down the hallway as the small boy's fully armored visage traveled towards the classroom. A teacher approached the door just as he would come to it." Uh. Um. Honey do you want to remove the helmet so the other kids can see your face? "The boy simply shook his head side to side without speaking. The teacher wore a rather uncomfortable expression before ushering him inside the classroom.
When the door swung open by the teacher's hand, the armored child stood firmly in the frame, casting a tiny ominous shadow from the lighted window behind him. "Everyone, please welcome Botenmaru-chan. He's a new student so please be kind to him!" Botenmaru stepped forward. Clink. With an audible scraping of plates and chain-mail he would bow a perfect 90 degree angle before moving inside. The boy would remain in place, not far from Satoshi and Bae. He lingered strangely to the other children no doubt as he refrained from speaking for several moments, merely observed. "Jutsu?" he said, overhearing Bae's request to go learn something. Botenmaru had never seen a jutsu. He had simply requested to be trained by the village upon his discovery at the river. He had assumed everyone simply used basic combat weaponry.

โฑโฐโฑSatoshi, the spooky pirate boy, smiled gently when Chosuke approached the group. He recognized Chosuke and was slightly embarrassed that he did not know who Satoshi was. He supposed that Chosuke was just more outgoing than he was which would make sense. "Hi Chosuke, I'm Satoshi." His voice was soft and shy and he was beginning to get overwhelmed by the number of students filing into the same area. This was all probably more than Satoshi spoke to his peers in weeks. "Satoshi-chaaaaaan!~" The all too familiar voice of the shy boy's more boisterous friend Soyeon rang through the room. An embarrassed hue of red covered his cheeks at the attention she was giving him. "Huh? Oh...yeah, Soyeon, if you want to." He breathed in and tried to keep calm. He was worried that she was going to get really loud and draw even more attention to the bashful lad.
His face returned to normal when the new student walked in. The other students in the area were now distracted by his loud and shiny armor instead of Soyeon's loud voice. When he heard Botenmaru's voice ring out of the armor he nodded. "Yes, do you guys have katon to learn? I just started learning the basic techniques." He looked at Soyeon before looking back at Botenmaru. He seemed like the best person for him to practice bukijutsu with. Satoshi had a love for swords and needed to practice a lot more. "My name's Satoshi. It's nice to meet you, Botenmaru." Right after he spoke, Yogen his personal summon crow would squawk up in boredom. Yogen hated Satoshi's shyness because he found it dry and unexciting. He jumped from Sato's shoulder onto Soyeon's head to give himself some entertainment.

xBae Soyeon
"Yaaay!~" D"awww. Satoshi was so cute when his cheeks were stained that color of red. Soyeon snickered to herself but did her best to keep him cool. Her left sleeve gently pat him on the back to let him know she wanted to help just as a brand new face walked into the room! In a suit of armor no less! Her eyes went to the armor clad boy as he would be clanking near the group of them that had spawned. Wow, he was super cool! What kind of kid can just walk into class in armor like that? He must be super buff! "Hello!~ Your armor is super cool!" Soyeon waved at Botenmaru as her naive self greeted everybody else with an endless amount of eagerness. "Yeah, jutsu! We were just about ready to learn some! You should totally join us and learn!" Just then, Soyeon felt her head grow a bit heavier. Her hazel eyes peered up at Yogen, Satoshi's companion crow, as he had jumped onto her head. Her smil grew wider while her hands pulled up her sleeves to reveal her hands and gently stroke the quills of the bird. Such a pretty bird. Maybe the Matron would let her get a pet bird soon?
"Okay! So since nobody is gunna teach us..." Soyeon hiked herself onto a desk while keeping her balance to make sure Yogen wouldn't be upset. "I'll be your teacher! Rising Superstar Soyeon!~" A cute pose and some flair for the dominance. She jumped down and walked over to the nearby scrolls. Some Maruton for the newcomers, some Katon for Satoshi, and just about everything else for fun! "As your teacher, I'll make sure all of you know the basics like that! So Botenmaru! Watch me and copy!"
She began the lesson for him by bringing both hands together while focusing her mind on the state outside. With a brief flicker of chakra from her hands, she quickly disguised herself, taking on the physical appearance of that same statue outside. "Pretty easy! Just imagine something or somebody in your head and then make a hand sign. To cancel it away, just cut the flow of chakra off." Next, she formed another small hand gesture, a copy of her flickering to life beside her. They both twirled and struck a heroic pose. "For the Bunshin, just try and imagine you're getting cut in two! Then when you're done, just send it away. Or just pop it like a balloon!" [ Learned Henge no Jutsu l Rank E :: Bunshin no Jutsu | Rank E ]
After her clone was dismissed, Soyeon watched her pupil and applauded each attempt, cheering him on as best she could. Once he was done, it was time for the next lesson. "This one's super easy peasy~ So when you're fighting somebody, just wait until they just hit you and-" In an instant, Soyeon disappeared in a puff of smoke. In her spot was one of the training dummies nearby. "Ka-pow! You change places with something nearby! Make sure to know what it is, though." After that, she would try something a bit harder. "For wall walking, you gotta transfer the flow of chakra to your feet." She did so, making a steady current while her feet would be walking on the training room wall and display itself for him. [ Learned Substitution Technique l Rank E :: Art of Walking on Walls | D Rank ]
"Then that's the same thing you gotta do if you wanna walk on water." She said, hanging on the wall for him to try. Once he was nice and comfortable, Soyeon would lead the way back down and cut off the flow. "Almost done with the basics! You're doing great, Bentomaru~" She made one more cute hand seal before...nothing happened. "This last technique is called, Kai! It lets you get outta genjutsu...but I don't know if it works yet. I haven't been put in one yet." [ Learned Art of Walking on Water l D Rank :: Kai | Rank X ]
With her pupil nice and caught up, Soyeon looked over at Satoshi and the others. "Satoshi! Katon techniques! I'll be by in a minute!" her head looked to the others. "Then you guys! What stuff do you wanna learn?"

Shikane heard a familiar voice shout as she waved meekly at Chosuke, unsure what to do. Inoyuri was being quiet. Chosuke apologized and mentioned how he forgot to pick up flour for his mom. That was true. If something was missing, Chosuke was responsible to go and get it or he misses out on his favorite dessert. Or was it just a joke his mother told Shikane? No matter. And then just as he returned, Inoyuri's mother had came over and called Inoyuri over. The mother waved as Shikane waved back at her and the duo left. Shikane sighed as she glanced at Chosuke. He might be able to detect a hint of irritation in her eyes.
A little girl was seen at the window as Shikane slightly tilted her head to see who it was. Another student. What was her name? Ugh. Shikane brought her fingers to rubs her face a bit as she then placed her hand over her face, her eye between her fingertips as the little girl went straight to Satoshi and asked if they could learn jutsu together. Shikane was ready to melt into the shadows and disappear. She never did good with crowds. Just on cue, there was loud
clink. CliNk. CLINK.
Shikane was now far away in the back of the corner, with plan A, B, and C to escape. She was working on Plan D. Done, now E? It seemed that the boy didn't want to take off his armor. She heard him mentioned about jutsu and it seemed that he didn't quite yet knew what jutsu was. Her grey hues darted towards Chosuke, "Ya know, if he got that much metal on him, he might be a good padner for ya to help with ya skills in taijutsu and bukijutsu. I may be wrong but ya never know." She spoke quietly to her teammate. With a deep sigh, her mother had been berating her to make more friends just Inoyuri and Chosuke.
Wasn't the point for Nara to be friends with Ino and Cho anyways?
The crow then hopped onto the little girl's head. The way it was reacting, she assumed the smart bird was bored. Crows loved shiny things. Shikane glanced around the room to see if she could find something to keep it occupied. She doesn't quite yet know why, but her gut was telling her that there was going to be trouble if something doesn't entertain the crow soon. With that, she remembered something. There was a student here that loved to collect rocks and shiny things so she went to the closet and got out a big box and set it on the floor with a loud THUMP.
Too late.
The little girl decided to go ahead and teach the class. Oh well. To be honest, it was nice that the little girl was the attention. Soyeon! That's right. Bae Soyeon that was her name. She went ahead and showed the new boy jutsus but to be honest, Shikane thought that she may have accidentally overwhelmed the new student. When the attention went to her if there was anything that they wanted to learn, Shikane immediately threw her hands up in the air, waved them, with a sweatdrop and a nervous grin, "Ah! Nah nah! I already learn them and I okay!"

tab Following Inyuri's depature, Chosuke caught the look that Shikane shot his way. Clearly she wanted silently to convey something to him. Unfortunately, her gaze was no match for the thickness of Chosuke's skull. Thus, he would return look with one of confusion, tilting his head slightly to the side. Just another fine example of how the art of subtlty was lost on the more simple boy.
tab Fortunately, before Chosuke was able to put his foot in his mouth but addressing the look Shikane was giving him, his attention was taken away by two newcomers to their quickly growing group. The first was a young girl in an oversized shirt, bursting with energy. Based on the way she greeted Satoshi, it was obvious that the two knew each other and were pretty close. Their next arrival had a much more jarring appearance to him. Proceded by the sound of clinking metal, Chosuke was rather surprised to see kid fully clad in armor enter the room, introduced to them by a teacher as Botenmaru. Unlike Soyeon, Botenmaru was quite reserved, only speaking up at the mentioning of jutsus.
tab Like Shikane, Inosuke had already done his basic ninjutsu training for the day, so he chose to join her in the back of the room. It was from distance that the Nara made an interesting proposal, suggesting that Botenmaru would make for a good sparring partner. This made Chosuke's eyes light up, the thought of trading blows with a strong opponent igniting his fighting spirit. "Yeah! I bet he's really strong if he can walk around with all that armor on!" he exclaimed with a wild grin. With passion coursing through his veins, when Soyeon came back to offer for them a chance to join in on the lessons, Chosuke enthusiastically stepped forward to meet her. "Oh yeah! I'm all fired up so get me in on those katon jutsus!" exclaimed, throwing a fist into the air. Surprisingly, he was actually quite eager to learn about fire-based techniques.

Humming to herself, she was thinking of a happy song to try to help change her mood. She went into her office as she unlocked the door, needed to get something out of there first. She just got the message that one of the teachers were absent and she knew this group fairly well so she wouldn't mind helping teaching this one. Approached the mini-fridge she had on the floor, she squatted down and opened it. Reached in, she got out a Ziploc bag of... looked like raw meat. Closed the fridge, she started to head towards the way and saw one of the teachers. They stopped and talked for a bit and Nozomi got the news that they have a new student and he didn't want to take the armor off. Hmm. Perhaps it's his security blanket. She too, won't try to get him to take his armor off. Botenmaru was his name. She thanked the teacher as the teacher made her way back to her class as she quietly and ever so silent made her way to the classroom, wanted to sneak up on the kids to see how they were doing.
She leaned against the doorway with a soft warm smile as she saw Soyeon was teaching the class. Quickly, she gently let Satoshi know she was here and gave him a quick side hug and squeeze before removing him and approaching the desk, "Well, Soyeon-chan! I believe you are giving me a run for my money! Sooner or later, you'll be better than me and you can become the next Principal!" Nozomi commented as she gently picked up Soyeon and gave her a biggggg squish and kissed her cheeks a few times before setting back on her desk. "Oh before I forget.. I got something for you Yogen, as usual." She said with a smile as she placed the Ziploc bag of raw meat onto the desk. Not wanting to contaminate her hands, she took the teacher's tea saucer, removed the cup and dump the nice cool juicy raw meat onto the plate.
It was then she saw the armor kid. Holy crap. He was big. The teacher wasn't kidding. She went in front of him as she squatted down slightly, her hands rested on her knees so they could be eye level, "Hello, Botenmaru-chan, I'm Nozomi. It's nice to meet you. You look very strong!" Then her hues glanced towards Chosuke as she chuckled, "How is my Akimichi?" She questioned as she also reached into her bag and got him a vanilla bean protein bar. "Oh if anyone else is hungry, here" She turned around and placed the protein bars on a student's desk so Yogen wouldn't get bothered. She simply waved at Shikane, she knows that Shikane does not like attention or hugs or kisses. So she usually gives that girl space.
"Now now, what's this I hear about Katon? You know I'm all for teaching it, but certainly not inside! I'm sure we don't want to give Ichika-sensei a heart attack by setting her desk on fire! It's a beautiful day outside, let's go train shall we?" She questioned with a smile as she held out her hand for Soyeon to take so they could go outside with the others. Then her eyes glanced back towards the desk, "Although, hmm. Maybe Ichika-sensei could use a new desk?" Nozomi joked as she chuckled softly.
Botenmaru would listen with intent as a blue haired boy with an eyepatch and a rather western garb spoke to him. The armored child watched this boy interact with the others. His actions were carefree, his face wore his emotions honestly to Botenmaru. Even if they were both shy, they were worlds apart. He had even befriended an animal at such a young age. This sudden interest in another person would strike a chord of remorse and suffering within the chasms of his mind. He had almost instinctively raised his hand to greet Satoshi after the introduction but would stop short with just a twitch.
The room became a whirlwind of introductions and greetings. Botenmaru was completely overwhelmed by the social interaction and desired nothing more than escape from the situation. The people he had started meeting used that word again. 'Jutsu'. Satoshi on the other hand had said ' technique' which was something Botenmaru understood. ' Right....so fighting arts...this is definitely the right place.' With little warning the brunette girl who introduced herself to Botenmaru would climb to the top of the desk and begin teaching the class these 'jutsu'. After declaring herself the teacher, she would approach him with scrolls in hand. With a small demonstration, Soyeon preformed a transformation technique before Botenmaru. Behind his visor, his eyes widened. " Making shapes with one's hand...can do this?" Botenmaru blurted out. He would immediately mimic Soyeon's hand sign and concentrate. Although....from beneath the mask his face would simply turn red as he strained. ' What is...chakra? ' he wondered,sighing with defeat. " Explain chakra." he said in a rather monotone voice, clearly not understanding the concept. It would become blatantly clear that Botenmaru had no understanding of the shinobi life style and that everything he was to be learning was completely foreign.
Just as he was realizing his lack of understanding, the real teacher would arrive, suggesting they take their training outside. Botenmaru would nod, awaiting his answer from the others as they would move.
