Welcome to Gaia! ::

Owner: 5huga
Name: BakaLao
Clan: None
Age: 51
Sex: Male
Birthday: Year 102
Physical Description: 5'11", 180lbs.
Personality: He's a cheerful and friendly fisherman, but as captain he's a bit more strict and cunning. He loves children and treats all the young shinobi on his boat with care and enjoyment. He's always afraid that they might return to his boat after he sees them walk on land, so he cherishes every moment with the young tykes.
Background: The Captain of the fisherman was once an ex-navy general for the tea country who went on many missions to take down pillaging pirates and rotten smugglers. He knows the seas around the wave country, sea country, water country and fire country like no other. The Kage specifically asked him to be a fisherman at his village for his specific skills in keeping his route unpredictable to those who might follow him in order to find Shimagakure.
Other: Can teach Swim, Endurance, Fortitude, Rope and can give +3 to training rolls.

Sukotto's focus didn't stray from him for too long before it returned with near full force. His hands slammed into the intended hand seal and the chakra within his lungs formed into a perfect shape for breathing fire. A thin stream of flame extended itself from his lips, creating a satisfying warmth around his mouth. The Uchiha's plain expression formed itself into a subtle smirk that celebrated the little victory that he had experienced after only one failure; it was obvious that the chakra training was going to be easier than his previous agility training. With his focus remaining steady, Sukotto had a chance to allow his mind to wander off slightly. He again questioned the reasoning for what had caused him to fall asleep in mid-training. In his studies, he did remember taking in some information about certain kinds of passive genjutsu that merely put its victims to sleep. This forced him to ponder if the village had silently been sieged while the shinobi were put under the spell. However, Sukotto knew that Ichi wouldn't fall for such a technique so easily, especially considering his skill with the Sharingan. The younger Uchiha considered seeing if there was anything that he could do to aid the village, but then decided that someone would likely come to him if his assistance was needed.

Chakra Training - Fire Element Burn
Just like you would push your physical limits to gain endurance, you need to use a lot of chakra to expand your chakra reserves. Form your favorite hand seal and release as much chakra as you can into the air or channel it into an object. Sukotto has modified the training a little to include some of his fire element in it. The training level is the same, it just looks a little more flashy.

Sukotto's concentration continued to have difficulty in amassing itself in the name of stepping forward in his chakra training. He thought that his chakra was a much stronger ally than the agility that he had been working on previously and hoped that it would be an easier task to complete the training. Slowly his thoughts collected and he remembered just how long it took for him to feel as if he had made any progress through dashing along the shoreline. His legs had nearly given out on him and it was an imaginary image of Seshiro that had given him the drive to finish. The Uchiha was lucky to have such an intense rivalry; it was the only way he was able to complete his training, in fact. Had the added adrenaline caused by the illusionary Orochi not been present, Sukotto likely would have passed out before being able to gain anything from his running.

After shifting the gears of his mind, Sukotto began to ponder the point of the recent mission to Haha Island. He wondered why his female squad mate had such a desire to grasp onto the scroll that she had obtained within the cave that she explored. Since he had been knocked out by a genjutsu, the shinobi was unsure if he missed any important points and even considered questioning her about the scroll.

The air whistling through his hair and a determined look in his eyes, Renji ran down the beach as fast as he could, fueled by adrenaline due to the fact that he had just woken up. Slowing down as he reached the very edge of the shoreline, the Raiken glanced around, frowning as he saw Yuki. 'Is Yuki-sensei the one that's going to lead me to my brother?'

His question was answered, however, as a boat suddenly materialized in front of him, a single person inside of the float. The person, unlike most of the ninja in the village, had a simple black cloak covering them up, including their head, which was covered by a hood. The boat floated a little bit closer until it touched the ground, at which point the person inside stuck an oar into the sand to help hold the boat in place. "Get in."

"Where's my brother at?" The trainee asked, the butterflies suddenly catching up to him as he watched the person, who's voice had revealed that it was indeed a man.

"You're worried that I'm here to kidnap you, as you suspect your brother was, correct?" The owner of the boat murmured, just loud enough to be heard over the gentle crash of the waves.

Wincing as his cowardice was revealed, Renji then simply nodded, taking a slow step backward. Glancing across the beach towards where Yuki was standing, the boy frowned slightly. 'I wonder if I can run to Yuki-sensei before this guy could catch me....'

"Very well. Allow me to prove myself." Releasing the oar from his grasp, the man drew up one of the sleeves of his cloak, pulling it up past his elbow and up to his shoulder. Seen, very distinctly against his slightly pale skin, was the Raiken family tattoo.

Gasping as he saw the mark, all pretenses of cowardice disappeared from the student's mind. "You...you're one of us?" Raising his eyes up, the dark haired boy attempted to see underneath the hood of the cloak, though the shadows of the evening were making it rather difficult.

"Yes, and I suggest you hop in if you want to help rescue Ichigo. There's not much time left." Grabbing the oar, the man pulled it back into the boat as Renji leaped in beside him. The momentum behind the younger Raiken's jump was just enough to dislodge the boat from it's spot in the sand, the current of the ocean slowly pulling it away from the shore.

"Wait, aren't we going to get Kiba, too?" Sitting against one edge of the boat, the student made sure to keep his eyes off the water, making it obvious that the boy wasn't used to traveling on water.

"There's not enough time. Plus, you're more closely related to Ichigo. It only makes sense that you should go along." Slipping the oar into the water, the elder Raiken started to paddle away from the island.

"Well...alright." Letting go of his uncertainty of the water, Renji turned his gaze back to the island, smiling gently as it started to disappear from sight due to the fog that was raising up off the water. 'Stay out of trouble, my friends. I'm going to miss you....'

A cough was what doused Sukotto's pride and joy that was his session of training. The flame had gained just little too much heat in a small area of his throat, irritating it enough to force too much air out of his mouth at once. In preparation to regain his composure and resume, Sukotto continued to wander down the mental path that he had decided to embark upon while the flame had still been lit.

The Phoenix Flower Jutsu was the technique that he had had in mind before his training had come to a momentary pause. It was quite a powerful move and he could attest to that, considering that he had been defeated with it inside of the illusionary genjutsu world that he was forced into on Haha Island. It had shot at him so fast that even his Sharingan couldn't track it quickly enough to dodge the three-fire burst in time. Sukotto shivered at the thought of exactly what the devastating technique would have done to him had it been real and not simply a trick of the mind. Something told him that the genjutsu had shown him exactly what it would have been like if he really were attempting to avoid it. Luckily, the large amount of running that he had done lately would surely aid in that respect.

The Uchiha had been so focused on his thoughts and his training that it took him a few moments to realize that the head medical shinobi had been standing before him. She always seemed to be so hasty about things and Sukotto felt as though it was quite unnecessary. It would have been fairly simple to have questioned him in a softer tone; it wasn't as if he was laying around like a lazy sloth, after all. In the moments leading up to his response, Sukotto decided that the elder ninja's slightly vivacious way of questioning him was just part of her personality and he would have to adapt to it accordingly. With a respectful bow of his head, the genin spoke. "I don't exactly have a squad, ma'am. I haven't since I left team Shuga to follow under Ichi-sama's guidance." After blinking once, he gracefully slipped his hands back together and began to focus the chakra within his lungs. Sukotto hoped that Yuki would see that he was training quite intensely on his own, even more so than the squads were likely to be. A nervous and excited feeling began to tug at the Uchiha's insides as he awaited Yuki's response. He wondered if she would get upset and take it out on him by way of scolding. Sukotto most certainly hadn't intended on causing such a reaction and was eager to see if it would manifest on its own. This desire to observe another's expressions and response to something was derrived from the Kage himself. Many times had the leader of Shimagakure made it obvious that he was watching his foster nephew's reaction to things. The younger Uchiha had picked up the trait in the time spent living with him.

With his most recent breath as heavy as it was, Sukotto could easily tell that his energy was beginning to fade. He still had quite a bit left in himself, but at his current rate of training, he was likely going to run out before he was able to reach the level of improvement that he hoped for. Recharging chakra took quite a lot of time and that thought gave him reason to thank whatever it was that had caused him to fall into such a deep sleep earlier in the day. Doing it the natural way gave him a chance to become bored with training, since it didn't actually work to improve anything. Even though it gave the Uchiha a chance to kick back and relax for a while, he only wanted to get stronger and taking a break wasn't appealing to him in the least. It was likely that the other genin weren't taking much of a breather, especially the chakra-infused entity that was Aya. Having seen her through his Sharingan, Sukotto knew that she had nearly twice as much chakra as he did before their return to Shimagakure from Haha Island. He had gained quite a bit of power since then, but it surely wasn't enough to match the monstrous amount of energy that the young girl possessed. The most prominent weakness of Sukotto remained to be his lack of chakra. If only he had had some sort of jutsu that could aid him in that respect, he could keep up and perhaps even surpass the others within his age group.

While waiting for Sukotto to give an answer, Yuki's eyes watched as a single academy student was speaking to a man on boat. Wasn't that Ichigo's little brother Renji? Yuki watched them intently, following their conversation by reading their lips. Once Renji finally got into the boat, Yuki let out a small sigh. That was two students the academy had just lost to the mainland. As that small sigh escape her soft pink lips, Sukotto finally snapped to it with his excuse. Throwing those hands of hers on the round birth giving hips, Yuki gave him such a glare. Yet, it wasn't as intense as she usually gave out.

"You really need to get into the swing of things around here! Check the Kage's office, read the newspaper, you need to do these things every day, Uchiha-suke," Tenmoki said, calling him little Uchiha since she felt like she was the one that was catering to him like a little child. "The mission to go the Rice Country and put out the Orochi's begins tonight. All the genins were assigned to squads. You need to practice with those squads and learn one another's moves before infiltrating such a dangerous place. Your strength hardly matters when you team up with others. The team's strongest effort only matches up with how well they can work with one another," Yuki lectured him with a tone that wasn't meant for insight like Ichi's usually was.

Letting her shoulders relax a bit and for her hips to even out, Yuki closed her eyes and turned her back to the boy as he continued his training. "You better find out where they are and where they're training before the sun sets. Otherwise you might just be pulled from the mission," the woman stated, waving a hand in the air as she walked towards the village. "Ja," she gave him a quick good-bye to end their conversation. She needed to get to the academy to see how Shisei was doing and then to relay Kei's messages to her friends before the day was over.
