Byakuran continued to jump rope, though his mind was clearly else where, watching his sensei train away so diligently, even though she seemed to be having a hard time of it. "Sensei," he noted "I apologize if helping us is distracting you...I do appreciate the effort.(+2)" Even if the only thing that was really bothering him was the fact that she was here being so very...attractive...he supposed in a retrospect there wasn't much that she could do about that...even so, the point was that he still appreciated the effort she was putting forth on their part, against his better judgement. He supposed that was dangerously close to actually coming to grow attached to the older girl...which he simply couldn't allow...he needed to remain separate...objective. ..cold. ..calculat- it really just wasn't working while he was around this girl... he supposed this was good training for both learning how to build some form of immunity to his sensei's....allure, and in addition improve his abilities as a Ninja.

+2 to Yuriko

Byakuran gave a another brief mistime as his sensei replied back, causing the boy to wonder if indeed he should just throw in the towel now and have done. It was becoming more and more clear that he was merely someone who was better off training on his own terms. True his sensei was skilled and very helpful...but she was just...so distracting. He reset himself and continued to try as he had before. No, he just had to keep trying, this was getting completely ridiculous. He would have to learn to work around this girl if he was going to be able to serve a member of this team...and he didn't really have any alternatives short of die horribly. And he was a person who was made to survive. He did however, cast an eye over to his sensei once more. The exercise she was doing. His face seemed to fall a bit more calculating. It was the chakra refinement stage of the summoning technique, wasn't it. He had spent most of his young life studying the technique...learning how it might work, preparing for the time when he could master it. Yes...he was almost sure that was what it was, the feeling in the air...the way that the sound of her powerful chakra shifted and turned... So his sensei was learning the technique that he eventually intended to use to destroy his clan...interesting... she continued to prove more and more useful...if more and more distracting.

"Sensei, your training up your chakra, are you not? I'm impressed...I needed to throw myself off a cliff for that!(+2) I'm surprised though. You seem to have even stronger chakra than I do...it's a little frightening to think there's a jutsu that would require stronger chakra still."

+2 to Yuriko


Byakuran opened his eyes slightly from his usual smile at his sensei's advice about chakra and depth. Yes he supposed that he could see it that way. As something that was more about depth than raw power. It was why that though their chakra had similar depth, his sensei's chakra stores were still much larger than his own were. He supposed that when he really considered it he still had a very long way to go even in terms of chakra, the thing that he had nearly killed himself to make strengthen. The hours that he'd spent in that cave, as his own chakra ate him alive from the inside, trying to absorb and control the raw power that he had managed to unlock within himself surviving his near death experience with the cliff. That had seemed like the trial of his life time at the time...and it had indeed granted him an amazing increase in power... but it was still limited...it still have only taken him so far. he wasn't to the point where he could call himself a true warrior just yet...

"Sensei...how long have you been training to be a ninja? I have to admit I was impressed that you were so young. (+2) The only Ninja of your skill level younger in today's age are the the A-ranked criminals from Oto. The one's that Tenshi apparently encountered on his mission..." he seemed to look pensive. "They say that they may be in the Mist even now..."

And if they were...he would be rather eager to meet the sworn enemies of his clan...it would be...enlightening, if nothing else. Their leader was apparently benevolant, or believed herself to be, and didn't hate the Otobe in general, merely wanting to see them out of power in Oto... if they would allow HIM to join them... then... but he looked back at his sensei.

Well...they were an option if he was discovered. If the Mist proved hostile to him...and he would sooner die then go crawling back to his clan...then they were a path he could follow.... even so... his eyes drifted back. A last resort...for now.

Byakuran was clearly walking on a razor's edge, one wrong step and before he knew he'd be blacked out from a genjutsu... when awoke, well Yuriko didn't want to imagine one of her genin in that situation. "Byakuran-kun... you should never ask a woman her age... but my dossier says that I'm sixteen and that my genin promotion was four years ago so I guess.. four years of training." she said to him. She thought about saying more but she felt that now was the right time to finish her own training. Chakra quickly built up inside of her as she pumped all of her effort into its collection. Yuriko could feel the mass of chakra growing to a size much larger than even what she had thought was the largest amount past her normal limit. She it was dangerous but kept on pushing herself. Then, when she could feel the mass of chakra really starting to become unstable she released along with a large sigh of relief as she allowed herself to relax. Satisfied with her own training she could now giver one hundred percent of her attention to her students. "Anyways... keep up that pace and you'll be done soon Byakuran... just stay strong until the finish." [+5]

Byakuran gave a look of surprise at his sensei's words. "I didn't mean to ask your age, sensei...I...apologize. I was merely trying to discern how long it might take to obtain that level of skill..."



He looked slightly distant as he continued to heed her advice and continue this rather...unique form of dexterity training. "I supposed though it was foolish to think that a measure of time can really be put on such a thing. One becomes stronger at their own pace, I suppose..." he frowned slightly, still continuing to jump as he did so, his mind clearly off elsewhere. "I suppose...I'm merely impatient." he then seemed to look off in a random direction. "Just a bit quieter yet, Mizuiro-kun, your feet are also scraping the grass a bit. You should pay attention to how you take your steps. (+2)" he then went back to his own training as though it was nothing. Impatient. He supposed that was one way to describe his situation. He wanted to be strong enough to be free...to be strong enough so that he wasn't the helpless liar trapped between two powers...to powers who if they knew the truth about either his occupation or his intent respectively, would put him down like a used up tool... would end his existence because it had become a hindrance to them... he seemed to twitch narrow his eyes.

If power was the only way...if the way of the warrior was the only path he could take to be free of his destiny...then that was what he would take...that was what he would become. If it meant he had to become a demon and slaughter all those who threatened him... all those who tried to eclipse his will with their own...then that was what he would have to do...that was the road that he would take... he stopped jumping rope as he did a final skip before catching the rope in his hands, and setting it down at his feet.

"Thank you for the training sensei..." he stated looking pensive still, no longer distracted by her presence, but only because it was almost as though he was looking through her, like she was no longer there to him. "I think that I need to...finish the rest on my own. I do not wish to trouble you any further." he began to walk out off the training area, heading towards his own preferred training spot down by the ocean... far along the shore line at the base of the rocky cliff, where he had attained his new powerful chakra...

That was the place that would most likely serve as a common place to find him in the future... "And Mizuiro-kun," he called. "Keep up the good work. (+2 to roll after next) he didn't really sound invested, but there was enough honesty in the statement for it to be taken at face value. He seemed as though he had already vacated the clearing long before his feet carried free of it...

Shortly after she finished her own training Byakuran finished his training and left the training grounds. This meant that only Mizuiro was left today. So now as she recovered from her own training it was time to focus on helping Mizuiro. She watched his technique as he trained, and focused her ears on the level noise produced by the environment and the noise produced by Mizuiro's breathing. In this way she was able to measure his breathing compared to the background noise. Thus creating a good base line for him to reach. If Mizuiro could become quieter than the forest it would greatly aid him with his stealth. "Mizuiro-kun... you're doing well. Keep working hard."[+5]

Mizuiro walked and breathed in sync, doing a breath or smelling out scents, then taking a step, comparing the sounds, seeing which one he could get more quiet first, making a little game out of it now. He actually look really silly, he wasn't really walking normal, he was walking as if there was some kind of haphazard that would take his legs away completely and quickly. He had to make sure he stayed very quiet. And his breath, he was thinking about how he might actually begin to breath fire if he was too loud.

After a while, he was far more quiet then when he began, but he wasn't really noticing it, he was getting used to the new quiet, and then starting to think he was too loud and began to try and keep himself even more quiet. You would think he was weird for not realizing it, but it was the best way for him to train, if he thought he was loud all the time, he would be far more cautious on missions to make noise. He wondered if he was improving at all now.

Mizuiro cleared his eyes of the tears that he was shedding, barely any of course, just like after a yawn tears. Then he looked around and composed himself back into training mode. He lost his place, even though he didn't realize how quiet he was moving around just now compared to before he began his training. He was getting used to it with every step and every breath.

Mizuiro began to take in deep long breaths. These breaths were gradually getting more and more quiet, then he went back to loud ones, and then gradually down to quiet breaths. He was now figuring out the difference in progress, and making sure he understood it better. And with that, he kept on getting a little bit more quiet with each time he did it. He was this time realizing his progress, and being able to improve it more thoroughly.
