As Jurei entered with Ayane he took note of those present, it seemed they had the place to themselves for the time being. Since taijutsu was never a strong point of his he took a backseat while Ayane trained. To pass the time he sat in meditation allowing his chakra to flow freely through his body.
He made seals in odd manners in no particular order. He merely switched back and forth among all of them learning easier ways to transition appropriately. As his chakra flared he began recalling his days as a child in the forest.
Growing up in the forest had its advantages, seclusion, yet openness. The odd dichotomy of the forest was inviting yet dangerous at the same time. He recalled the many days he spent playing in the trees and training with his little brother.
He continued to allow his chakra to flare around him as he continued his reflection on the past. His father was by far the overly stern type, nearly forbidding his sons to know any sense of joy other than battle. Jurei never found fun in harming others which is why he spent much time studying medical ninjutsu, an unknown talent aside from his genkai.
As he continued his meditation he could feel his chakra rising and branching out to other things around him. He tried to make it his goal to get it to touch everything in the room, which he nearly met before relaxing and bringing the wealth of energy back to his body. (Basic training: Meditate x1 complete)
As Jurei continued to watch her train effortlessly, he allowed his chakra to flare up again. He tried encompassing as much of the room as he could, extending himself to every possible corner.
As he sat in meditation the energy of life spread throughout the room before returning to him. He could feel the abundance flow around him, through him, with every breath he took.
He began making motions with his hands in order to guide it the proper places, up, down, around, and even back into a swirling pattern between his palms as he held them outright.
He extended his chakra down into the earth beneath their feet, feeling it pulsate with life. Though uncommon, he bore the very same life source within his chakra itself, and thusly his body as well.
After a time he brought all of it back to himself, a slight tree-like aura forming behind him as he stood to face Ayane again. It seemed she'd learned all she came here to learn. He had training of his own to accomplish too so perhaps back to the academy? "Impressive display Ayane, I have an appreciation for taijutsu. I'm not very proficient with it so I appreciate talent for it when I see it." he said with his typical warm smile. "Though I must say, I have a few more techniques that need learning so shall we head back to the academy sweetheart?" he said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

Jurei entered the dojo for the next part of his task, finding more projectiles here as well. As he walked through the various halls searching around he remembered his brief amount of time spent here with Ayane. 1/3
As he smiled silently he removed another burlap sack and began picking up the few that he saw, kunai and shuriken mostly but very little senbon. Here was also where he decided to group most of his chakra training while Ayane focused more on her physical techniqeus, something different about them that he found slightly fascinating. 2/3
As he reminiscing continued, he didn't neglect his duty as he kept picking up after those who had left behind such crucial tools to the average ninja. He he sealed up his bag he exited and decided to attempt cleaning out one more place. 3/3

☦ Sighing softly Kojin walked right up to a punching bag and began to practice quick jabs. Getting the blood flowing through her body as she had already memorized how to perform the techniques. Now all that had to be done was the execution of it all. 1
As she continued to assault the bag she was dragged into her own little world. One where she would never remember without the aid of jutsu. This world would be known as her past. 2
Her past consumed her slowly as she continued practicing. Mixing punches and kicks rather quickly. As well as performing them rather beautifully. 3
A snow filled land quickly consumed her mind. The snow was actually cold to the touch which took her off guard. It was then that she lost herself completely to her past. 4
As she walked through the snow filled wasteland all that she found was blood and corpses. This horrified her to no end as tears started to form within her eyes. Why were there corpses everywhere? 5
What happened in the area to cause such destruction? What could cause this kind of carnage? What kind of force could even bear such a decision to slaughter people like this? 6
As she began thinking of all these questions in her mind her body began to react to this. In the real world her body began hitting the punching bag harder as well as faster. Her breaths starting to become ragged from it. 7
Going back to the horrific scene set before her mind she closed her eyes and counted to ten. Opening her eyes the gruesome scene was still left before her. Her bottom lip trembling as she closed her eyes again. 8
However opening her eyes the battlefield was still laying before her. She continued to walk through the wasteland of snow until something odd happened. The falling snow stopped entirely. 9
Not as in the weather cleared up but rather the flakes froze in time. Then they started to go back towards the sky. Slowly at first then rapidly after a while. 10
It was now that she understood what was going on here. Time was reversing itself within her past. As if to show her the truth of what happened. 11
Then after she would remember she would soon forget it again. As was the jutsu was placed on her. To forget who she really was every time. 12
As time rewound she found even she was not immune to this. As her size simply got smaller and smaller. Until she was two feet tall. 13
She still had full mental capacity but was taken back by how this was working. She didn't know what was going on either. Why was this happening now of all times? 14
Back within reality she was copying the same moves only performing them in a fiercer way. Each time the punching back would be sent flying in the opposite direction. She'd wait a moment for it to calm then hit it again. 15
A large village formed before her very eyes and feline animals were everywhere. Most were playing in the snow. She couldn't resist running up to all of them and petting them. 16
Each feline she went to play with stopped what it was doing. Then regarded her with the utmost respect. Her hands running through all of their furs. 17
A particular animal even went so far as to lick her face. She giggled like the little girl that she was. Feeling it's rough tongue wash her face. 18
The animal that was licking her face was none other than a snow leopard. It's fur incredibly thick and soft. She began to think of what it would be like to lay on it. 19
She found this place so wonderful as the leopard knocked her on her back. Continuing giggling it was licking her face still. She continued to pet it as most of the villagers stopped and simply watched enjoying the sight. 20
As the leopard continued to play with her, her giggles only rose. Her hands gently grabbing it's fur and holding on. The leopard began to paw at her trying to get her to let go. 21
It wasn't until a loud roar could be heard by a larger feline. This startled everyone in the area. That was until the leopard managed to roll Kojin over. 22
The leopard grabbed her hooded jacket and carried her. Giggling in a fit of joy she began to act as if she was flying. As the leopard quickly ran towards the source of the roar. 23
A large white tiger came into Kojin's view and she was smiling widely. It was mama's partner. She was dropped and fell quickly into the snow. 24
Getting up quickly she went up to the tiger with her hands stretched out. Trying to pet mama's partner. Mama's partner was always fluffy. 25
The white tiger seemed to smile as it closed its eyes and lowered its head. Kojin's greedy hands began to run through the fur. Finding it soft but not as soft as the leopard's. 26
The tiger sat down letting Kojin get a better reach. Kojin only got closer hugging the tiger around then neck and closing her eyes. Upon doing so she felt a pair of hands on her sides and opened her eyes widely. 27
Upon being lifted into the air she began to shriek. She was terribly frightened of heights. However all that came was laughter. 28
Especially after many saw the look upon her face. After a few moments of her 'flying' session the hands placed her back down. She turned around to see who it was. 29
The assailant that picked her up terrifying her was familiar. However with the sun behind them prevented Kojin from seeing who it was. Their hand came down and patted her head. 30
She began to paw at his hand and tried biting it as he ruffed up her hair. He merely laughed in response and turned around. Upon him walking away Kojin saw something that crossed her mind. 31
He was wearing the village's traditional katana. He was one of the anbu for the village. As she tried to run after him the tiger put his paw on her foot causing her to fall into the snow. 32
Many laughed again at this scene. As Kojin didn't know it at the time but she was the pride and joy of their clan. She was the daughter of their great leader. 33
Everyone in the village loved her more than anything. They would do anything for her at any given moment. They cherished her like she was their own child. 34
Kojin got up and then glared at the tiger. The tiger seemingly smiled again before gesturing to her. As if to say bring it on little one. 35
Within the next moment Kojin pounced upon the tiger. The tiger began to purr loudly as they began to plan. The tiger pawing her and Kojin pawing the tiger right back. 36
As most of the villagers began going on about their business more came to the scene. Simply attracted to the young one's wild antics. Most compared her to her mother's partner. 37
Eventually the tiger pinned Kojin down and began to clean her. Giving the tiger a dirty look many villager's continued to laugh at the scene. That was until her mother arrived. 38
The tiger stopped and looked over at his partner. His partner smiled gently at him and scratched his head. Right behind his ears where he loved it. 39
Purring like a machine the tiger moved his head into it. Her mother only pet him more. Then eventually she kissed his head. 40
Smiling wonderfully at her daughter she began to tickle her. Kojin held down by the tiger began to giggle madly. Going to the point where she was short of breath. 41
Her mother smiled beautifully as she leaned down. Pressing her lips to her daughter's head Kojin began to purr loudly. Her mother chuckled before tickling her one last time. 42
As she was tickled again she was lifted in the air. Her body froze as her fear of heights was brought back to her. Only this time her flight was short lived. 43
Her mother placed her upon her partner and smiled. Her tiger stood up on all fours. For some reason no matter what her mother's partner did his prowess always showed. 44
Her partner was a fierce warrior just as her mother was. In the entire village's eyes no one could take on her mother. Not even her father could have beaten her mother. 45
That was even if her father was still alive. There was a monument built for him within the village to honor him. For his sacrifice for the village and his lover. 46
He would be immortalized within their history. As the famous hero that laid down everything. Holding out against an impossible force. 47
Doing it all for the love of his life. Even as he lost his partner and was about to die. He tapped into a long forgotten power. 48
One that gave him the strength to annihilate everyone that stood before him. Once reinforcements arrived he was spend. He fell to the ground with nothing but a smile on his face. 49
Instead of weeping when her mother saw him. She instead smiled and went to his body. Kissing his forehead and then stroking his hair. 50
She did the same to his partner. Going so far as to move his partner next to him. They were cremated together as well. 51
Upon the cremation Kojin was honestly close to crying back then. However mother's partner sat beside her the entire time. Kojin was told that instead of crying for him be happy for him. 52
For he was now in a better place. He would be in a place where he could finally earn the rest that he deserved. Most likely at a beach somewhere lounging with his partner. 53
As her mother thought about it she giggled. The thought of her lover fishing and his partner leaning over the dock licking her chops. Yeah that's definitely where they'd be. 54
Unfortunately even on the now peaceful beach in the afterlife he'd never catch fish. Not with his partner hanging over the dock licking her chops. Instead this got a different reaction as this was explained. 55
Kojin began to smile thinking of her father fishing. This was when she learned that he truly was at peace. For the fact he had everything he would need in the after life. 56
The one thing that no one knew is of who attacked her father. Her mother knew that this was an attack that was boasting. Saying hey look what we did. 57
It did nothing but disgust the anbu as well as her mother. Such cowardice was to be expected of lowly assassins. But these were no assassins for the fact that her father could have dealt with them. 58
They were built to withstand a lot of punishment. He was a taijutsu expert who harnessed speed as his main attribute. None could catch him save for his partner. 59
However something happened to him what it was, was unknown. Perhaps a drug of sorts that slowed him down. Or... if he knew his assailants. 60
The thought of her lover knowing his murderers made her sick. As she looked down to Kojin she promised herself she wouldn't let her child suffer such a thing ever again. She was going to make sure Kojin avoided the life of a shinobi. 61
Tugging on the tiger's fur he began running around the village. A large smile spread across Kojin's face. She was such an infectious child. 62
Spreading love and joy to everyone in the village with one look. She was truly going to grow to be a wonderful leader if she chose to. However that was before she came across her trauma. 63
If you could find a villager that was still alive and talk to them about Kojin. They simply wouldn't believe you that she didn't smile anymore. Talking was considered normal. 64
The reason for that was most of her clan never talked. They communicated with their partners with gestures. That or they already knew what the other was thinking. 65
It all depended on how strong the link between the two really was. Which most in the village had strong bonds with their partners. Kojin had a natural bond with most allowing her to gesture. 66
Such a wonderful child was broken into a mere shadow of herself. She was now a sorrowful and lonely girl. Without even a partner to help her through her troubles. 67
The closes thing she had was Noctis and even then... He didn't know what had happened to her. All that he found was a dead tiger and her crying. 68
She rarely if ever even talked to Noctis as she felt close to him. But she would never be as close as he wanted her. Even after everything he's done for her. 69
It was nothing personal however. It was a simple fact as he wasn't of her clan and he wasn't a feline. They didn't have much in common. 70
As she continued to ride her mother's tiger the tiger stopped abruptly on the edge of the village. Horns began to go off as Kojin's eyes widened. She was afraid for once in her life. 71
A mass of mercenaries was approaching the village and she was frozen. She knew already what this meant. She didn't want this to be true however. 72
Closing her eyes she counted to five and then opened them again. The mercenaries only got closer to the village. After a couple more minutes her tiger turned around and began running towards the village. 73
As one mercenary got close to Kojin and the tiger they sped up. However the mercenary stayed right on them. Growling loudly the tiger used a jutsu in which an ice wall consumed the man. 74
The man shouted in pain as it crushed him entirely. Kojin still struck with horror was barely managing to hold on. Even as the horns sounded louder and louder. 75
Dozens of anbu members rushed past them towards the mercenaries. Kojin barely manage to look back towards them confused. They were outnumbered greatly. 76
Didn't they know that they were going to perish in this. Why would they rush the mercenaries instead of helping the small village evacuate? So many things were confusing Kojin at this point. 77
Eventually Kojin let go of the tiger and fell off. Only to have an anbu quickly catch her and run along side the tiger. Quickly reaching the village as it was in chaos they began to look for the Queen of their clan. 78
Kojin's mother slowly walked out of their house donning her battle armor. She hadn't wore it in such a long time that it felt odd. Yet she also felt as if she never took it off. 79
Her tiger approached her and she merely smiled. He jumped up to her and stood up placing his paws on her shoulders. Still smiling she scratched his neck making him purr. 80
Once he was satisfied he fell back down to all fours. More anbu began to run towards the mercenaries as not a single person from the village fled. They all began to get ready for the worst. 81
To them this was their home and they were going to be damned before they lost it. Even the youngest were getting ready. Besides Kojin the youngest of the village was fourteen years old. 82
As they readied themselves for war Kojin simply stood. Watching the fighting from a distance. Even when outnumbered the anbu were holding their own. 83
Truly an amazing sight seeing the prowess of her village. It was a pure miracle that they were able to do so. Or perhaps it was because this was their home? 84
They had a lot to fight for at the moment. They didn't want to lose anything and there was none on the battlefield without pure hearts. Each of the anbu fought with such bravery making their clan shine. 85
Kojin stood in awe of their glory. This must have been what her father looked like in his final moments. Thinking about it started to bring tears to her eyes. 86
That was until her mother came along and patted her hair rubbing her ears. Calming her down considerably in this current situation. She looked up to her mother wanting nothing but guidance. 87
Her mother merely smiled and kissed her head one last time. As her mother's partner approached she picked Kojin up one last time and placed her on her tiger. Kojin gripped the tiger's fur firmly. 88
At first her partner did not want to leave her mother's side. However after kissing his head one last time she smiled and told him what he needed to do. She ran off into battle as the tiger went in the opposite direction. 89
Running for what seems like hours a mercenary caught up with them. The mercenary fought the tiger trying to kill it. But with the tiger's rare ice jutsu he proved to be a challenge. 90
Kojin held onto the tiger close during the entire fight. Until the mercenary struck both of them with his katana. Kojin's entire back was scarred from the blow. 91
From that wound the tiger was able to continue to fight enraged. Killing the mercenary rather easily but at a hefty cost of his own life. Kojin managed to crawl over to the tiger. 92
Laying upon him she wept for the first time in a long time. Losing the last thing she held onto which seemed to take her back to the real world. As soon as she remember someone finding her... the jutsu wiped her mind of those memories yet again making her forget. 93 ✯

Izuma approached the Dojo, the annoying sound of leaves crunching beneath his feet caused him to stop and look down. The place was practically covered in leaves, and no one has bothered to pick them up! What a shame. Izuma sighed, shaking his head as he entered the Dojo and grabbed a broom from the cleaning closet. Going back outside, he began to sweep a multitude of leaves into a pile, moving them off to the side of the Dojo. He cleaned the walkway, moving all the leaves into separate, neat piles out of sight. Turning back as he was facing the entrance to the Dojo, he scanned the area, noting how much cleaner it was not compare to before. With a nod of approval, Izuma went inside the Dojo. Hopefully next time, another Shinobi will be willing to clean the leaves up, instead of walking over them, and making more of a mess.
[ Mission: Village Hidden Under Leaves - Completed ]
Inside the Dojo, he noticed a few shinobi training in the art of Bukijutsu and Taijutsu. Which was usual inside of the Dojo, and a perfect place to find lonely shuriken, kunai, and tons of other metals. Walking around, Izuma began to scan the floor for possible picker-uppers. Spotting a few shuriken next to an unoccupied sparring dummy, he moved over and picked them up. Calmly standing tall, he looked around to see if anyone had noticed, or if anyone was approaching him, to ask for their shuriken back. As neither result occurred, these shuriken were officially under Izuma's possession. With a nod of approval, he continued to walk around the Dojo, making sure not to disturb the shinobi training hard. In the corner, he found a pile of kunai and shuriken with no one around to attend to them. Casually walking over to the corner, he retrieved all the fallen projectile pieces and placed them in his pouch. He also plucked a small group of shuriken from the target above the pile. No one came to claim them, or even stop Izuma as he was picking them up, so he could only assume these projectiles were abandoned.
[ Mission: Metal Deposits - Completed ]
After ridding the inside of the Dojo with scattered, and abandoned projectiles, Izuma found himself a solitary corner were he could sit. He was pondering whether or not he should continue training, after doing so much, he still felt he wasn't finished. Still, he deserved a little relaxation, so he would rest for now. Izuma still felt he should be out doing something at the very least. Placing his hands together and forming the clone seal, a mirror image of himself appeared beside him. Instructing him to stay here while he left, to 'get the rest he should be getting'. With that, Izuma left, telling the clone he'd be back soon. [Izuma Exits, Clone Stays]

☦ Breathing heavily after training in the Konohagakure taijutsu she tossed her hoody on the floor next to the rest of her gear. Cracking her neck she walked over to the weapon and began thinking of which style might be best for her to learn. She needed to balance speed as well as power so she sighed trying to pick a weapon. ✯

Izuma's clone sat silently in the lonely corner of the Dojo, continuing to observe the hard working shinobi. He envied them very much. He wouldn't mind taking on a few Taijutsu ro Bukijutsu styles, but he didn't have the stamina or endurance to successfully execute anything in that category. He might be able to manage with a style that doesn't involve too much power, such as a Dagger Style, but he hadn't thought much into that. Izuma wasn't very social, but his clones usually did most of the talking, while maintaining Izuma's personality. He noticed a female shinobi training not too far away from where he sat, looking at a broad selection of weapons. Perhaps she was choosing a weapon style to train in, or just looking through them to choose worthy blades she could add to her own arsenal. He wouldn't be able to find out unless he asked, so instead of continuing to sit silently as Izuma normally would have done, he rose to his feet, casually walking over to the female, standing beside her. "Choosing a weapon is always the most difficult part. Once you choose, you have given a supreme dedication to it, until the day you die." As weird as it may have sounded, it was true to an extent. After having said those words, he fell silent, his gaze steady upon the weapons laid out before him.

☦ Upon hearing a man address her she looked to him and nodded to him understanding. However that never made things easier for her at all. Her hand lightly travelled along the handles of several different weapons until she stopped at a katana. Why the hell not? She picked up the katana and nodded to him curious as to what he was going to choose. ✯

Izuma observed the females motions towards each hilt of the blades. Her movements were full of uncertainty, until her hand was firmly placed upon a Katana. It was a common weapon chosen by shinobi all over the world, and it didn't take long to master its use. The female nodded, turning towards him as if it were now his turn to choose a weapon. He was very limited as to what weapons he could wield, but he kindly shook his head refusing. Raising his right arm above his shoulder, he detached the sheathed blade from the strap upon his back, bringing it to the front of his figure to present to the girl. The sword was sheathed, black in color, and much shorter in width than most blades displayed on the table, but was longer than the average kunai. He held it calmly in both hands, each hand supported the ends of the sword, treating it with as much respect as a Samurai would with their own weapon. Gently grasping the hilt, he unsheathed the sword until half the blade was present, showing a portion of the inscription carved into the blade done in Kanji. A few moments later, the blade was resheathed, and placed back on the strap upon his back, his hands now resting at his sides. "The Katana, a very common but wise choice. You must have some sort of specialization in Kenjutsu...?" His voice was soft while maintaining his usual deep and somewhat discouraging tone, his eyes focused on the female's.

☦ Sighing softly she placed the katana down as she couldn't make up her mind as to what bukijutsu style she wanted. Cracking her neck she looked over to the shinobi and nodded her head as her class gave her some expertise. But her mind didn't allow her to actually choose and stick with anything. Even with taijutsu her mind was now dancing around dozens of different ideas. Scratching her head softly she left the dojo to head for the academy to learn jutsu. ✯
Masahiro entered the Dojo, straying away from his students at the Academy for a few moments of respite. These few moments he enjoyed, and while his sword was often the cause of his many internal disputes the particular sword, the sakabato, he carried was an alleviation of it when properly used. Moving towards the practice dummies he drew the blade, hoisting it to an outward and lowered position. His energies surrounding it as he took two more steps forward, he envisioned the sword arm of an opponent on the many armed target. Bringing the sword in an diagonal slash, cutting upwards and across from right to left, he felt the solid connection that in many cases would lead to a broken bone, but not death. And in the same fluid motion he turned, moving from facing to sideways from his opponent he made a second and third strike, as if to repeat the same movement, throwing the blows at the wrist and upper arm. A look of puzzlement crossed the jounin's face, however, as the arm he had struck first was then severed, followed by the wrist and upper arm that followed. The hydra-strike following same method as his twin-cut. [ 2/2 ] Technique Learned: ○ Hydra Strike
Turning his distinction away from physically damaging attacks Masahiro envisioned a slightly upwards angled beam to be the blade of his opponent. Fitting that the beam was of a light steel material, made for practicing weapon deflections. He stepped back and thrust his fingers tighter around the grip of his hilt, arcing the blade down slightly. As he stepped inwards towards the target he envisioned the central point of the weapon as his focus, twisting his own blade sideways against it, to place the more resistant metals against each other, instead of on their brittle blades. As he did such he twisted his own blade around the other, twisting it to attempt and wrench it from the grasp of his opponent. The shear force of the motion and his forward advance splintered the opponent's brittle blade at the centre, throwing a portion of it off into the distance, thudding down along the dirt. [ 2/2 ] Technique Learned: ○ Disarming Two
Now that the opponent was disarmed he kicked loose the pin holding the doll stationary and gave the lowest peg of it a shove with his boot. His eyes scanning for a brief moment as he watched the different arms and leg pegs spinning across the frame. He moved in close, knowing that it could spell being hit by one of these items, but instead he turned his blade inwards, so the dull of the reversed blade sword was against what would have been flesh. With a gentle shove he redirected the arm and twisted the momentum of the doll to reverse. His own motion mirrored that of the target, twisting around and only briefly expressing his back to it before he met it with his blade once more. This time, as he shoved the blade into the target he pushed the limb upwards and over his head, his boot raising to catch another one that came from before. As he did this he shoved both in opposing directions, breaking them off of the base. [ 2/2 ] Technique Learned: ○ Deflection Two
At this point Masahiro would take several steps backwards, crossing a quarter of the courtyard in deft movements. His eyes surveyed the same target he had initially scouted and drew his blade up in a manner that left it parallel to his own head, held in an cross body stance. He lowered his stance, preparing to sprint towards the target. As he shifted his stance he bounded into the air, when he made contact with the ground he disappeared from the eyes of any watching him. The speed he gained was near instantaneous, bursting him from one location to another at twice his standard speeds, and as he moved he drew his sword lower. As he arrived at his target he smashed the blade home, striking at it's base to lift it, breaking the mechanism that allowed it to spin freely when in practice use.
