It'd been less than a week since his return from the Land of Wind and Gene still felt uneasy. There were far too many questions left to be answered in regards to the proposal but the time to address such concerns Gene recognized, was over. For now, all that he could do was wait and see what directive would fall across his desk. Well...that wasn't entirely true.

He should be here any minute now, Gene thought to himself. Gene removed the scroll containing Oath breaker from his back with a low grunt and after placing it on the hard earthen terrain beneath him, sat on it. He then propped one arm up on a leg, resting his elbow atop his thigh and leaned his head up against his hand. Throughout the years Gene had become a very patient man and often delighted in the fruits that such virtue could bring but often times this meant that he was too, a very - very bored man. When he'd first arrived to the training grounds at precisely Nine in the morning, he'd taken the liberty to touch up on his Fuinjutsu writing skills and in doing so left ample works of "art" scattered throughout the forested area. These "Art" inscriptions as he so called them, were equivalent to paper bombs in their function but did not take on the appearance of an explosive tag.


Each inscription was no larger than an Adult hand and were seldom found in areas frequented by the common traveler. However, any number of beaten paths off the main walk way East, North East and East-North-East were heavily littered with Fuinjutsu. Gene had given Masaru instructions on where to meet him and how to get there and naturally, Masaru was free to find his own unique route to the rendezvous point

Masaru yawned groggily, his sleep was anything but restful as he had night mare after nightmare courtesy of a certain spirit most likely. Regardless of the cause he was only half awake at the moment as a result. He checked the clock before getting ready trying to stifle the yawning as it came.

He quickly made his way through the village grabbing 662 a couple of bagels from the bakery as he went. Gene was supposed to be training him today and he'd need the carbs. Thinking back to last night and the fires he was nervous as his goal today was to tap into the powers of the spirit and work on katon jutsu.

He trudged along the main road following Gene's instructions. Normally he would've made his own way through the forest but with the nightmares keeping him ul and lack of sleep he was already low on energy and basically operating on auto pilot. If he had traveled through the forest, he was likely to have gotten lost.

As he approached he saw Gene though the man appeared to be waiting for something which for some strange reason gave Masaru a feeling of foreboding. It was as if he wasn't just waiting for him. Masaru shrugged off and approached.

"Hey Gene what do you have planned for me today?"

Hearing Masaru's voice, Gene looked up at him. He couldn't say for sure what was wrong with the boy but Gene thought that he looked slightly fatigued - which made him question whether or not continuing with what he had in store was a good idea. "We'll get to that in a moment. Are you sure you'll be up to it?" The Jounin asked, his expression solemn. Standing up from the large scroll Gene stretched his limbs, moaning as his joints cracked and popped then knelt down beside it and began to unravel the scroll to its full length. Inside, an array of inscriptions in black ink decorated the soft material of the scroll eventually giving way to one circular formula in the center where an empty space marked where a hand had been meant to be placed. Gene did so, activating the Fuinjutsu with his chakra causing the massive Great sword stored within to emerge in a plume of grey smoke.

"We'll start with a few basic warm ups to get things going."

"I'll be fine lets get started shall we boss?"

Masaru simply shrugged and brushed off the question with a slight bit of attitude in his voice. It was clear something was bothering him, but equally clear he wasn't open to talking about it. Seeing Gene summon a sword, Masaru pulled his lance off his back and twirled it around.

"Very funny Gene. We're supposed to work on katon jutsu and you say were gonna warm up. Very funny."

There was a slight hint of sarcasm in his tone though one had to admit dad jokes were lame. Taking a defensive stance he waited for Gene to make his move. He would start to circle his eyes taking in the area around him analyzing it to see where he'd have the most advantage. Being they were in a forest he'd
Have no trouble with his mokuton jutsu.

'You're gonna get your ass kicked kiddo. Why dont you let me help? Kekeke'

Iburu teased within his mind mocking him agitating the young man further. He was clearly in a bad mood whether it be his voice or the look on his face. Maybe the physical exertion would help relieve some of his frustrations.

Gene advanced forward[at 16 speed], clearing away what remained of the smoke cloud and taking hold of Oath brewer's handle as he burst forward toward Masaru in an attempt to close the distance between them. During his charge, Gene channeled his chakra - willing it to course through his sword. The blade began to glow, shining in a blue luminescent aura before abruptly catching flame. Continuing to close in on his student who by now, had assumed a defensive stance of his own; Gene raised his weapon as if to prepare for a thrusting attack.

"Reviewing our last jutsu training session? Alright fine! I suppose that would make a decent warm up."

Seeing Gene's blade catch aflame as he charge Masaru followed suit replicating his teacher's jutsu. His seals glowed a dull golden yellow from beneath his clothes as he channeled his katon chakra into his weapon setting it alight. He followed up moving his polearm to receive Gene's strike, holding the weapon from beneath at an angle over his head. The angle would allow him to redirect a thrust to the side or take a slash head on.

Not that he actually saw himself capable of withstanding Gene's full force, he trusted his teacher to hold back enough to give him pressure without being over bearing. Seeing the flames so close had him on edge but it was something he needed to work pass. Trying to stay focused he checked his opponents body language and particularly his eyes to see if he was telegraphing his strike.

At the pace that he'd been moving - one several notches slower than what he'd been accustomed to, Gene could see and sense Masaru's apprehension. He did not know the true cause of this "bad vibe" and assumed that it might have had something to do with earlier, before the two had met. Regardless of its origin the feeling had been enough to prompt Gene to halt his advance, leaving several feet between himself and Masaru. "I've changed my mind," said Gene with a decisive tone. "You've already grasped the basics of channeling fire through your weapon to improve its capabilities. Frankly, there's nothing else that I can teach you at this time." There was sincerity in Gene's voice and...something else? Concern? Dispelling the flames surrounding Oath breaker's blade, Gene gave the weapon a playful swing through the air before walking back toward the scroll where it'd come from. Sealing the object back within the scroll had taken no time at all but rolling it back up was a process that Gene didn't exactly favor.

With his weaponry secure the silver-haired Jounin turned to face Masaru. After a Yawn that had snuck up on him, Gene decided to leave the Genin with one other thing before making his departure. "I don't have much in the way of things that I can give you; however, this weapon comes as a gift from me to you for grasping the first step of your journey. It served me well and maybe it might serve you just as good." Gene picked up the scroll containing Oath breaker and tossed it in Masaru's direction. From this point forward the weapon was his - though, even if he did not decide to take it Gene would no longer be in possession of the great sword. "Anyways, see ya'." Turning on his heel Gene began walking in the direction of the village commercial district.
