Masaraku fell off of her wave once more, this time she was winding her way through the street traffic and happened to lean a bit to far back. Down she went and her body landed not on top of the hard dirt, but on top of soft flesh. She sat up and looked behind her. She had knocked over a villager and his apples were scattering all about the ground. She said, "Oh no! I am so terribly sorry sir!" And went to work gathering up apples and bringing them back to the portly gentleman she had fell on. He too was picking up apples, but he was going rather slowly and spent more time stroking his beard than anything. Once Masaraku had gathered up all of the missing fruit she gave the gentleman a bow of respect and conjured some water to flow over the fruit to wash them. She looked up at the sky to see how much time she had lost and said, "I really must be going."

And with that Masaraku tore off into the streets on her wave once again. It was time to get as far from here as possible. And that is exactly what she did, no longer concerned with meeting up with Shinzu and Batsu, Masaraku went off of the circular path and started to carve her own way through the streets. She thought about what else she needed to do before meeting up with Batsu, but was rather unsure of what her schedule held. She would like to read a few books if she could work it in, and finish this jutsu, but that was all she really knew. In order to be assured that she had mastered balancing on water she had to be able to do it consistently. For now that was going well. She could generate the water, make it into a wave, and ride on it fairly well. Then all she had to do was learn how to launch attacks while balancing on top of wave that she made with her chakra. Easy right?

Now Masaraku was surfing through back alleyways and yards. She danced around children playing and jumped over dogs that were barking at her. Though her happiness was slightly ruined when she came to realize that she had never played in the street with other kids or had a dog of her own. It was rather unfortunate for her that as a Hoshigaki she had to miss out on several of the norms of childhood. It was unfortunate that even now, as a teenager the closest thing that she had to friends were her teammates, who for the most part hated her. Sure Shinzu might have been under a genjutsu, or maybe he had just let his hatred of her fester and grow into and grow into some irrational fear of her. And Batsu might have played being nice, but maybe he was just a liar. And maybe she needed new friends. For now she would be friends with the water beneath her feet and be fine with it. Who needed sentient friends anyways.

Then again it wasn't just her friends that she had a screwed up relationship with her, her clanmate, Hiru, though older than her was kind of an odd duck. He was one of the few ninja around her age in the clan and yet had a strict no kill policy. Despite this pathetic policy of his he was gifted the greatest honor of the clan and allowed to be the wielder of the original Samehada. Masaraku was seeing red, and it was affecting her training though, she began stumbling a bit, rocking, and when she came up on a fence she severely underestimated the height of said fence. Her ankles caught on it and she went toppling over it and and into the alleyway behind it. Stupid Hiru. That sword would be better off in Mizuiro's hands than his, and it would definitely be better in her hands, but that was a given. It didn't matter, eventually she would inherit it, Hiru wouldn't kill his target and would die for his weakness. That would leave her as the next ninja in line to inherit it. She stood up and tried to focus on the good instead of the bad.

Hopefully dinner with Batsu later would yield good results. She began to summon back her water as that thought crossed her mind. Hopefully she and him would be able to get some training in. She wanted to get better with poisons, and she had heard that chakra could be turned into a poison. That all sounded great, but she had also heard about the tons of people that had tried to do so only to poison themselves. She would need his knowledge. General knowledge and knowledge of poison. She began to rise up on the wave and went over the fence on the other side. She had to finish this damned jutsu and maybe she could go kick Hiru's butt tomorrow after she slept. Meet Batsu, eat, train more, sleep, butt kicking. Sounded like a good plan to her.

Batsu continued to try and coax Shinzu back into reality. All this was cool and all... in regards to seeing how potent a genjutsu was... but seeing his friend like this was absolutely horrible. Geez, he definitely knew now that he had to keep his competitive nature in check, lest he wanted to do more psychological damage against Shinzu... or worse.

Shinzu came to understand that Batsu was telling the truth, none of it was real. It was then he realized what was happening, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at Batsu. "You jerk, you did that to me!" He said angrily, almost prepared to punch Batsu in the arm.

Shinzu gave Batsu another look, but sighed, no point in pressing it at this point in time, later though he'd give him a piece of his mind. "Yeah, well we still have one more lap left to go by my count." He said to Batsu as he stretched himself out, and started to run. "If you don't do it, that counts as a forfeit!" He yelled on back to Batsu as he ran past the grove. He didn't get too far though, as his muscles tensed up, and he tripped over his own feet.

Shinzu smirked and laughed happily as Batsu ran after him, now this was what a race was supposed to be! Nothing but two friends running against one another, till one came out ahead, if even just barely. Unfortunately for Shinzu though as he got to thinking in this sort of semi-philosophical way, he failed to notice a root that was in his path. He eventually noticed it though, when his foot caught in it, and he tripped over it, rolling across the ground on the other side.

Shinzu pushed himself off of the ground with a growl, showcasing his strength as he popped up and slipped his legs beneath him. Then he was off like a fireball after Batsu, leaned forward the fit ninja sped after his friend, a happy smirk across his face. He loved doing simple things like this, no extreme amounts of pain, no tough decisions, no life or death scenarios, just training whether it was just him or hanging out with others.
