After waiting for quite some time Tairu realized that they would have to go look for Takeshi. Well looks like he was serious about training on his own. Tairu thought. Wait, didn't he say something about training in the forest? Tairu was pretty certain that Takeshi said he was going to go train alone in the forest. "Hey Miharo-sensei let's got look for Takeshi in the Konoha Forest." Tairu said. Without waiting to see if he would agree or not Tairu started to walk towards the forest.

CP: 72/90
Yarotai wasn't suprised by the boy's desire to hunt down his classmate so that he could finish up the required training for the exams. The fact that he didn't even wait for Yarotai to comment on his plan didn't strike him as odd either. With his hands behind his head he proceeded to follow the child off to find the Uchiha. He was very interested in finding the boy to ascertain specific information from the kid once they did find him. There was no way Yarotai would tell the Hyuuga of his plans, though since it may interfere with his hopes of training.

She's at yet another job, this time at food preparation in a small restaurant. The employer is clearly paying her less than the other workers because of her age. But the rent is due soon and her father has been working as hard as he can to make it. She needs to do this. Yet no matter how meticulous she is in measuring the ingredients, or double checks the labeling, the girl gets it wrong every time. It's frustrating.
One of her coworkers simply looks at her, gives out a long sigh and says, "Stop it now. You're useless and no good. Just like your father."
The words gave her a sudden jolt, eyes snapped open to see a blurry view of nature- 'Wait, wasn't she in a kitchen?' -and a foot kicked up into the air. Panicked hands grabbed at the nearest thing, and tugged. One of her hands felt wet. A blink. The girl blearily looked down at her hands until her vision refocused. Grass gathered in her right fist and her left hand curled around rope. Rope. Nawanuke no Jutsu. Hyuuga-san and Miharo-sensei. Oh no, she fell asleep! Kaede tossed away the grass but held onto the rope and then pushed herself off the ground.
"S-s-sorry Miharo-sen..."
Her voice trailed off, however, when the girl looked about her surroundings. There was no one else by the tree she stood under except a few chirping birds perched on its branches to signify the morning. The rope in her hand fell back to the ground. And the soft noise startled the birds into fluttering to a different tree.
She was abandoned.
"You're useless and no good. Just like your father."
Tears welled in her eyes, and her shoulders started shaking. In the end, it was her destiny to be a loner. Masato-san, Hyuuga-san, Sasaki-san, Miharo-sensei... they were nice to her and they were kind people. It was because she was weak. That must be it. She was just dead weight, pulling them down, someone hindering their progress as shinobi. Couldn't even handle being tied up without getting an anxiety attack. Of course they'd leave her behind. Stronger. She had to be stronger! Strong enough to carry her weight on her own. Strong enough to catch up with the others. Strong enough so she'd never be left behind again. But one look at the lonesome rope on the ground and the girl found herself frowning, the crinkling of her eyes squeezed out another tear.
But how...?
No one can tie themselves up on their own. Even if she could, what if she failed and was stuck like that all day? What if no one found her? Wouldn't she just starve to death then? Kaede sighed, and sullenly kicked the rope. No, just do a different training then...

Yarotai's clone entered the mountains in the same way that Yarotai himself would have: with long slow strides and a ridiculously large grin on his face. He made his way straight to where the children were last known to be and where Kaede just so happened to still be at. Noticing that she seemed to have been crying the clone squated before her and cocked his head sideways, still smiling wide. He then reached down to take hold of the rope with one hand and give her a thumbs up wih the other. That was his way of attempting to ask her if she was ready and willingly to continue training for the Nawanuke. Since Yarotai wasn't the greatest ninja in the world, his clones still couldn't speak intelligently. Thus he decided not to allow them to speak at all for the time being.

Dread suspended her lungs when she saw a distant figure approach from the mountain trails. It was possibly an enemy shinobi, or one of her bullies, or maybe a thug. Slowly, casually, the person approached her, and then he or she stepped into light. A sense of elation blossomed in her chest and spread to her fingertips, when Kaede realized it was simply Miharo-sensei.
Nevermind that he didn't address her by the usual Miss Mouse or playfully tease her for crying like an utter wimp, or invade her personal space like he always did. Maybe this person was an imposter, or this was a set up for a prank in the guise of training, or maybe this was just another dream. Any of those suspicions were drowned out by the security and the company Miharo-sensei's presence provided. She wasn't completely abandoned. And that was all that mattered.
Where perhaps a more energetic and socially adept child would have hugged the man on the spot, this child simply cried even harder, more snot running down her nose, wiped her face on her dirty kimono, trembling lips twitching into a poor excuse for a smile, sniffled, hiccuped, and nodded her head furiously. Kaede did not like this exercise at all, but she had to try and get this over with.

The clone never stopped smiling at the girl, mostly because it didn't have the instructions to do so. Even when the child began to cry harder it simply remained squatting with the rope and thumbs up unmoved. Once she had given a signal that she was ready to begin Yarotai's clones draped the coil of rope around her body, pinning her arms to her sides. He ended the use of it by tying a neat bow in the center of her chest and nodding his head in an attempt to tell her that she could begin whenever she pleased. He also took a couple steps back from her and draw out a few characters in the sand and pointed an index finger back at himself.

The rope tightened around Kaede's limbs, making her feel more aware of her pulse and the blood gathering around the rope and the knots. Her heartbeat began to accelerate when she realized that, while she was no longer tied to someone and touching, her chances of escaping have dropped. Hyuuga-san was no longer here, undoing knots on his part or to tell her what she needed to do. No, the girl would have to think for herself this time. Kaede took a few deep breath, mind reeling back to the past two attempts at this exercise.
Knots. Find all the knots. The girl glanced down at her arms and legs and counted a total of five including the bow. There was still the problem of not being able to know how many were behind her. A gap that Hyuuga-san normally filled. Kaede squirmed against the rope, trying to feel for knots rubbing on her back. She felt three more, but there was a possibility of a miscount. The rope was taut around her arms, but not around her wrists. 'Best to start with the knots her hands could reach then.'
The girl pulled herself into what seemed like an extremely unnatural position, bending her shoulder in such a way that may give her scoliosis later, all for the sole purpose of moving her bound wrists close to a knot near her knee. Her hands moved against each other and the rope around it to get a grip on the knot, and Kaede could feel her skin burning from the friction. She bit her lip. It slowly unfastened, and she could now move her legs. There was still the problem of her arms, wrists, and chest.
Kaede walked quickly over to the tree she had slept under and slapped her wrists against the trunk. The girl was hoping there'd be enough friction between the trunk and the rope that she could bring her entangled hands out of that particular loop. She gritted her teeth and pulled down, feeling the rope painfully move. In the process, she could feel her blood being moved along as well. But it stopped. The rope was stuck around her knuckles and there was no room to pull the rope further.
No, this would be the part where she needed to apply her chakra. If she could free her hands, the rest of the knots should be easy.

Her hands were free, and as a result, could now reach up the third knot, one around around her arms. Kaede bit her lip and tugged as hard as she could, the knot was rather stubborn but she had to know how to do this. The chances shinobi were in this sort of situation must be common. And it wouldn't just be a rope, but maybe bars and locks and guards. This had to become elementary. Second nature. No room for mistakes for the real thing.
The knot came undone, and now her arms could move. The girl bowed her head to take the bow apart and off herself, feeling even more snot run down her face. The unpleasant sensation caused to pause in her actions, and rub her face in her sleeves furiously. Then Kaede wriggled the ropes until they fell off her and back on the ground, like shedding skin. She did it. It took her a while, but she did it.
But there was still plenty of room to work on. Maybe there was a more efficient way of going about escape. Kaede made a mental note to head to the library after this to research this later. Maybe different lock picking methods, tools, or even scrolls on magic tricks. Maybe she could even get Miharo-sensei to assist her. Speaking of which...The girl frowned Miha-no, the imitation's message but did not question any further. The answer would unveil itself later. It wasn't so much that she was depressed it wasn't the real thing. Rather, the girl was disappointed at her inability to recognize the person before her was a mere imitation of the real thing. There was still so much more she had yet to learn. So much more catching up to do.
She squatted back down where the imitation was tilted her head at him, "... d-do you know *hic* where Miharo-sensei is. Uhm... uhm..."
It seemed the exercise had helped her calm down from the crying, as she could speak without her lungs trembling. Though here eyes were still red and slightly moist. But there was still a communication issue. It was Miharo-sensei but not really. How does one address a clone?
"Uhm... Miharo-s-sensei t-t-two?"

Yarotai's clone never faltered in it's wide toothy smile to the girl as she completed the task and asked her question. The copy even went so far as to applaud for her since it wasn't allowed to speak. In response to her inquiry he grabbed a hold of her hand rather suddenly and proceeded to lead her back down from the mountain and towards the forest. However as soon as it was clear that it wanted her to follow it, the clone released her hand so as not to frighten her too terribly much.

'Waah!', the girl mentally screamed.
Though her vocal cords did not express her alarm at Miharo-sensei Two's sudden action, her wide eyes and parted mouth compensated. The girl found herself aware of just how long her legs and arms were bound by the sharp pricking in each step she took. There was no longer any rope hindering her blood circulation and the prickling pain from being asleep only manifested in the form of wincing.
Part of it was also out of feeling uncomfortable that someone was touching her, yet again. A strong urge to brush off Miharo-sensei Two's hand conflicted with her desire to remain polite and respectful to the imitation. Even if he, it?, wasn't really her sensei. In fact, it was surreal how a manifestation of chakra could be as warm and feel as fleshy- 'Was that even a word?' -as the real thing. And Kaede wondered if she was even capable of learning, what seemed to her, such a complex jutsu.
Only when the prickling sensation subsided, did she look at her surroundings properly. They were descending down the mountain path, one that did not lead to the village. So sensei was no longer in the mountains, and it since they weren't going to the village, he wasn't in the academy. How odd. The girl let out a sigh of relief when Miharo-sensei Two had let go of her hand. Kaede shook and rubbed it with her other hand, as if doing so would erase the fact that it ever happened. Then, she sped walked after him, occasionally jogging if need be, her short legs trying to keep up with his long strides.

§ujin   Sujinsat up slowly, still holding the blankets over him. They were warm in the cool breeze. He looking down at the children interpreting his poems and smiled, he didn't want to think about them at all but seeing, Chikyoo and Tengoku happily lean over the blue book he couldn't help it. Sitting up now, his head was still dizzy but Sujin was thankful to be so far away. He just wanted to keep going on forever. And that's what it seemed like, the hours went on and on. While he sat in silence. Listening to the huge forests they didn't have trees like this in Rice. He thought through the hours and felt a deep guilt in his gut at leaving his home, his duty, a life that he had swore he would never abandon. He still loved his country, he just wasn't there anymore....
Soon it came to be that Taiyoo looked back to them. "You all. We're here, you know." The twins instantly burts into an uproar standing in the back and leaning over the plank that kept them and their father seperated. A huge gate grew from the forest. An old and powerful gate that Sujin knew had stood for many ages. It was not quiet like oto's, and it was an odd feeling. He felt like he had betrayed his country now. Still thinking like a ninja the boy, untied his headband below the blankets and stuck it in his pack, also taking his poem book, and wrapping Mugendai up as if it were a fine dinner plate. They came to the gaurds who smiled knowing Taiyoo, but stopped them with Sujin.
"Eh, whose this guy?"
Sujin was still, who knew what they would do to an Otoninja.
"A sick boy from the Rice. Well take him up to get registered. He was dying out on the road, we had to take him in."
Sujin looked from the man to the guards, than past to the bright village beyond. They nodded and the cart began rolling forward. He watched as the huge gate loomed over him, and he was in. His gut wouldn't stop rolling inside him. What was he doing!?

After all of the random commotion, Kuro smacked himself back to the world of the conscious and aware. "Jeez, I better get back to work!", he said aloud to himself, as he shook his hands. He recalled the showing of the Ox handseal that Kaede was gracious enough to give to him. However, he had gotten nervous all of a sudden. He was alone, and he would now have no help. He would have to do it all on his own. "No biggie Kuro! You don't need their help!", he said to himself, as he readied to attempt the Ox Hanseal. He took a deep breath, and tried. Handseals
The first thing the students needed to learn were the handseals that made the Jutsus possible. So I set them to learning all twelve. The rules are as follows: Roll 1d20 for each seal, one at a time. They must get a 12 or higher in order to correctly perform a seal. Each seal must be performed once correctly before being learned. Use the formula: [1d20 + Int Mod. = (#)].
DC: 11
Total Seals Learned: 4/12
**No Hp or Cp cost.
Rewards: +1 Intelligence
Mods: +1 from Kaede's teaching (-1 to DC)

Kuro looked happily at his success of a seal. "Yes!", he said happily to himself, as he felt a great confidence welling up inside him. He was able to do it. He was able to do it, all alone. He had forgotten all about Kaede's part of his success, as he was too excited about being able to train by himself, and with success. He stood still and then thought for a few moments. What was the next lesson? Actually, what was the next handseal? He was on the cusp of being halfway done, and he knew that. He remembered taking a peek at the scroll that Tairu had. Was it the Rat? No, that was later. The Dog? No, he had already mastered that one? His hands moved into the Dog pose, after thinking of it. He chuckled to himself, and then went back to thinking. The Tiger! Was that it? He remembered it was associated with most Fire Release Techniques....it must be it! Its gotta be it! It is it! He gathered up what the handseal looked like, and tried to form it with his hands. He studied his hands, hoping that his Tiger was the real Tiger. He then attempted the handseal, hoping for the best.
