[Graded]A Perfect Day

He got up extra early and worked on stretching out at home before heading out. It had been some time since he had gone to the training grounds and he knew he was a bit stiff. The day before he had worked on loosening up and on this morning he also did the same. He wanted to be somewhat fit when he arrived at the grounds. He didn't intend to work with anyone there, but one never knew what awaited. Being the son of the clan leader, he didn't want to let his people down.

Of course it wasn't all about winning battles. There was a different kind of battle he needed to win. He had little to no friends and that meant barely any allies. His father had told him it was good to have allies, especially if and when he took over the clan. They would help him and of course he would help them in exchange. They would be there for each other and thus help the clan survive. That was the battle he needed to wage and win.

Haji had all his gear on him, as if he were heading on a mission. He did always take training seriously and he tended to be prepared. The grounds appeared to be empty and he didn't bother using his sensory techniques to confirm it. He simply picked a quiet corner and began to warm up with some jumping jacks. He stopped after about twenty and looked around. Being in a corner alone wasn't going to net him any friends. He would need to venture further in and confront someone. Most likely this meant training together, but he needed to break out of his shell if only a little and meet at least one person. This was his real training for the day.

Another day, another morning to wake up and do her duty, today she had been assigned to help one of her new recruit train. Although she didn't really know what he was going to train, all she knew was where they would meet. So she spent as little time as she could preparing herself before she left her apartment. As she made her way to the training grounds the chuunin hoped that she was sent here to train him in taijutsu as that was the area which she lacked the most for now, but knowing her will and how stubborn she could be she knew that one day she would become at least feared in close quarters. Or so she hoped, but as of now she wasn't really a threat, unless they where lower ranked than she was.

Amaya chuckled as she moved towards the training ground, hoping that she wasn't too late. Usually the Shoshiki liked to be on point or a just a couple of minutes early, this was a trait she had picked up from her family, although the rest she didn't want anything to do with. Except maybe find out more about her birth mother, Amaya shook her head as she knew that she had to let that go for now as she was nearing the training grounds. Usually this Shoshiki avoided hanging on the bottom part of Iwagakure because to her it felt too closed in, it might have to do with the time she spent outside of Iwa. Or maybe the fact that she just enjoys flying and being free like a bird. Either way she was here and had to do what was told, hopefully she would enjoy it.

As Amaya opened the door it wouldn't take long for her to see Haji, she walked up to him before looking him in the eyes. "I hope i wasn't too late, usually i am the one who enters first but today. .Well. . Either way, how's it going?" Amaya started smiling before turning her back against him, she started walking away before turning to face him once again. "Now, i was called here to help you train" Amaya shrugged as she waited for Haji to respond.

The door opened and that cued him to look over, even against his better judgment not too. In came a young lady, thin of frame and with long blond hair. She wasn't hard to look at, but she appeared like she wouldn't stand too many hits. She marched right to him, as there pretty much was no one else there. When she began to speak he could not help but be lost. Did she expect him to be there? She apologized for being late, asked him how he was, and apparently was there to help train him on orders of someone else. He couldn't help but to think it was a mix up, but perhaps he could still make an ally.

"I am well," He spoke up, "Though I think you may have me confused for someone else... Still, if you would like to train I could use the assistance," If his judgment was correct and she was indeed physically weaker than him, than perhaps she was faster than him. Of course that was stereotypical, but speed was something he needed to work on either way. "I would like to work on being faster," He confirmed.

Amaya looked at the boy, at first it didn't really seem like this was the type of person she had been sent here to train. But once he responded she knew that she had come to the right place, it was strange. Mostly the chuunin spent her time training genin and not her peers but this time it was different. Maybe they wanted someone who was fast? But how would they know that Amaya was faster? Sure she hadn't been discrete when she flew around but still, the chuunin shrugged first then nodded.

"Well, sure. . But it depends on how you want to train? Mostly when i train genin i usually play tag? Or at least my refined version but. . I am sure that regular tag would do" Amaya took another glance at the ninja, she could clearly see that he was built for strength, so it was no wonder that the man wanted to train his speed. One should never underestimate the power of speed, in her time she had seen some fast ninjas and even she herself could be considered a fast ninja, although with a little help from her ninjutsu.

"So, if you want to train efficiently in speed then i would suggest that we train outside, that way we can use the entire top side as our training ground. . Sounds good?" With that the chuunin would prepare to leave the building and move towards the topside of the village.

He had to think for a moment. He wasn't exactly sure how one trained for speed. Strength and stamina was something he could do, but he never once worked on speed. The man had even worked genjutsu more than that and that was his least favorite or skilled area. When she mentioned how she helped train the genin he couldn't help but think it a good idea. Sure he felt pretty lame being compared to a genin, but it seemed a logical course.

"That training method sound fine," He scratched the back of his head as he noted her eyeing him up for what he swore was the second time, "Indeed, there is more room to work with." He made for the door both eager to get started and unsure of why she kept eyeing him.

Amaya continued out the door and would soon lead Haji to the top side, she sighed as she stopped before stepping out. She quickly turned because she had realized that she hadn't even introduced herself, it seems that in her haste she had forgotten to ask for his name as well, and training with an unknown ninja. "So ehm. . Sorry for being rude, my name is Shoshiki, Amaya. ." The then touched the man on his chest before giving him a light push. "Your it!" A smile crept up on her face as she turned then rushed out to the top side, she would quickly climb up buildings then proceed to jump from building to building. Hopefully the slow ninja would at least follow her as his training had just begun.

He had followed the kunoichi to the topside of the training facility. Thankfully it was nice and clear out and the temperature was fair enough. He almost got carried away until he heard her introduction. "Chikai, Haji," He introduced himself too but before he even realized it, she had given him a light shove and with it, began disappeared. He heard her state that he was 'it' and so the game and training had begun.

Climbing up the buildings was not a huge deal to him. He had the physical strength to do so rather easily. When he reached the top, he saw that she had gone fairly ahead of him. He had his work cut out for him and wondered if he would even reach her. Clearly she was faster and thus why she would be a good teacher for this. Standing there was not getting him any closer, so he broke out into a run. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, he attempted to close the distance between himself and Amaya.

She jumped to another building as she did a quick turn in the air to see where her fellow ninja was at. He wasn't far away but if he wanted to gain up on her he would have to push himself harder, this prompted the chuunin to smile as she taunted her trainee. "Hah, if you want to catch up you bette-"

Bam!

The chuunin hit a wall but, she quickly recovered and dashed towards another direction as she tried to swallow her pride. To her that was a really weird moment, she usually gets away when she brags but this time it seems as if karma struck back. She bit her lip as she stopped by a large roof, her options where either try to escape via the sides, jump over him or. . She could always bring in ninjutsu to the table. She could up the difficulty if he wanted.

"So. . You want to do it the easy way or the hard way?. . Not to be cocky, i just mean do you want to do it with our body skills or add ninjutsu to the table so you can learn how to react faster as well. ." It was a random question but a question none the less, where the training would go would be entirely up to Haji. The chuunin smiled as she was prepared for either answers

She was faster than he bargained for and when she jumped up and suddenly turned, he almost lost her. He followed suit as best he could and just when he thought he had lost sight of her, he made it time to see her crash into a wall. He let out a chuckle and took advantage of the opportunity to close the distance. She appeared to have stopped at a larger roof top. He was not sure if she was hurt, buying him time to catch up, or something else. Her question soon answered his dilemma.

It was a fun little extra if they did decide to use ninjutsu. It would make things both more interesting and challenging. Not only would he need to catch up with her, but also keep in mind whatever techniques she sent his way. Of course he could use his own to aid him and he had an idea already in mind.Thinking it for the better of both parties, he spoke up.

“Sure, let’s do it,” He exclaimed as he continued to approach her. He was not using any jutsu yet, wanting to see how she would escape her predicament. So far, despite being slower than her, he was holding up his own. He thankfully had good stamina, but at the rate he was pushing himself he would sooner or later begin to feel the exhaustion.

Amaya smiled as she took another step backwards, for some reason the man had agreed to let Amaya use ninjutsu, which was his biggest mistake. Now, she had a large archive of jutsu she could use but not that many helped her move faster except for her glass wings, she could at least try to create some chaos. But, this wasn't the place to do it. She knew that she could only use some minor ninjutsu at this part of the village, so with that she started to perform a quick set of hand seals as she opened her front pouch.

She sent five glass shards flying towards Haji and as he would focus on dodging/defending himself from the shards the Shoshiki would use the opportunity to jump towards the center of the market down below. This would mean that she would have to rush past the market and then up the wall to the next building. Her plan was to rush to one of the training grounds located on the top side where they could use their ninjutsu to the max without worrying about injuring civilians.

~[Glass Element • Glass Shuriken]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming the needed hand seals and flooding a 5 meter area with chakra, the user will cause any glass shards in the area to rise up off of the ground and fly toward a single opponent at a speed equal to the average between the user's control and ninjutsu up to 8.

It was as if she had been waiting for him to give the alright for her to use ninjutsu. As soon as he had agreed, she was sealing away hand signs. She appeared to be faster with that too and he knew not to even bother at this point. He would try his best to deal with whatever she threw at him and hope he could handle it. It did not take long for him to see what exactly the results of her jutsu were as she launched shards of glass shuriken at him. Moving his left arm in front of him, the skin expanded and grew to create a shield. He took four of the five as he side stepped in hopes of keeping track of Amaya.

He caught glimpse of her jumping down as he cursed his luck. She headed right into the market, which was likely brimming with activity. He needed to keep moving if he hoped to keep track of her. Plucking at the glass with his right hand, he made after her and jumped down. He plucked the last piece out as he landed, the wounds slowly closing. He could not find her. He wanted to use his sensor jutsu, but with so many people around it would be counter-productive. Instead he raced through the crowd.

If she had avoided using jutsu until now, why did she jump into the market just when she had gotten the ok? there must be some reason and purpose, he simply had to think. He saw people left and right and establishments as well. She wouldn't risk using jutsu here, would she? No, that had to be it. She was luring him somewhere. A place where they could use jutsu more freely. He had a hunch and decided to go with it. He began to race towards the closest training area.

~Skin Shield
D-Ranked Taijutsu
By expanding their excess skin in front of them, the clan member creates a makeshift wall in front of them. While this doesn't defend against a lot, since the damage is still done to the skin, it can prevent damage to the main body, due to using the calloused skin, rather than normal skin.

It didn't take long for her to be in the clear and away from the crowd. Now there was just a short bit until they would reach the training ground but for now she would be vulnerable to any jutsu this nin performed. . Well only if he was playing smart and would use his advantages. "Damn. . Where did he go?" Amaya stopped to take a look around, she needed to find him before he found her as she didn't want to be "it". Amaya sighed as she kept on her search, this was going to be interesting.

Arion · Post by **Arion** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:41 pm

The crowd was still thick and Haji still could not find Amaya. Instead of letting it trouble him, he thought it just might be advantageous. If he could not find her, then she likely could not find him. If so, it was a matter of who found who first. This served to motivate him to move faster as he scurried about the crowd. He weaved his way left and right, avoiding people and hopefully Amaya's line of sight. He still made his towards the training grounds though, on with his hunch.

He would not quite make it to the training grounds. He caught sight of Amaya and she appeared to be doing what he had been doing not so long ago, looking for someone. He quickly ducked out of sight and took cover. From there he needed to make his way to her without her noticing. He wasn't the most graceful or fastest ninja, so he needed to do this right. He peeked over the boxes he hid behind of and saw his opening.

A couple was walking by and Haji quickly went behind them. When the trio got close enough, Haji broke free in full sprint. He tapped Amaya in the form of a hefty shove. He may not be fast, but he did have strength. He made sure it was not too hard, he didn't want to put her through a way, but she may end up against it. He was sure she could handle it or at least hoped she could because he kept racing past her as fast as he could. He went towards the grounds, but his goal was to go past it. If he could that was for all the running was beginning to exhaust him. Stamina he had, but running wasn't his thing.

Her senses told her that the man couldn't be far away from her, so the chuunin did what her training had thought her. Prepare for the worst, with that in mind the adolescent started jogging and performing a set of hand seals. She was jogging towards the training ground which they would soon reach, but as she had finished her seals the Chikai had already snuck up on her. Shit! Where did he come from? This is.. With quick reaction the chuunin jumped backwards and away from Haji as she raised her left hand and placed it near her mouth. At least my jutsu is ready The skin clan member would be able to see hot molten glass start to mold as she would then spewed out molten glass shards. ´Glass Element, Greater Caltrop Field'

The plan was to create a caltrop field, to slow Haji down which in turn would allow her to get to the training field where she could go out for real! She had to admit that in close quarters the rookie could handle his business but for now she had the upper hand. Soon they would their real might and battle it out like the dukes. . For training purposes of course. . "Lets go Haji where almost there!" Amaya laughed as she dashed away and away, enjoying the rush of being hunted.

(Sorry for the late post! I will speed things up!)

[Glass Element • Greater Caltrop Field]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the needed hand seals and focusing chakra to her mouth, the Amaya will form molten glass. This glass is not as thick as most of the other glass that is made, and can be spewed out in a spray, landing on the ground across a ten meter radius. Once the glass has landed, it will harden into shards of glass shaped into caltrops. This can then be dangerous for people to walk on, causing their feet and shoes to be cut.
