Shortly after Shizuku arrived in the streets of the Village which was always a busy place to be. There was so many people walking around shopping and stopping to have small talk with people they know. It just gave off the casual feel of the village where Shizuku was raised. Still walking along he noticed a store that was selling something of his interest. I wonder if I should spend my money on something like this he thought in the back of his mind while he hesitated walking up to the shopkeeper. Reaching into his weapons pouch he pulled out his lion shaped wallet then spoke with the shopkeeper. "Hello, um I was wondering if I could buy those pair of headphones and Ipod" the shopkeeper smiled and nodded to his words "Ah yes of course that will be a total of $250" he opened his eyes in astonishment then gave him the money anyway in disappointment of himself.

After buying the accessories he put them to use right away as he listened to music while he was headed for a better area to train. Placing his hands back into his pockets loosely he drifted off into his own world as he left the area of the streets. It looks like he was heading for the River which would work well for his training in his mind.

Lightly stepping along the rooftops of the village streets, Aeria seemed to be in a slight hurry. Really, this was just her means of moving about the village. She honed her skills by making laps about this specific area, going unseen as she pounced, crouched, and lay lightly against the under areas of balconies. The normal citizens had trouble noticing her actions, only alerted once she would flare out in mad dashes from unexpected locations. All this little game did was show off her excellent speed, working towards her athleticism traits greatly. If she couldn't get an official style down, she could at least come to work her body. "One more go around should do it.." The matured, soft spoken, whisper signaled a sudden change in stance. The girl landed down in the epicenter of the streets, appearing as a brief blue and black shaded flicker. Few civilians paid much attention, cept for the few who caught sight of a wind-risen skirt. Ignoring this, she simply fell her hands forward, butt raising along with arched legs; the track runners positioning. With a single, deep, breath she would be off! Running at a surprising speed rate, the young woman began to swerve, duck, and roll amongst her many training post.. People sure made good obstructions, didn't they..?

A good hour passed before she was back to that starting location, having repeated this constant action for the entirety of her little training session. She was working on her ability to adapt to new, but slow and steadily moving, items. With this shinobi trait, she would likely gain the ability to better react to other ninja's tactics. She understood that, at the moment, her chakra wielding skills were very mediocre. That would be made up by the finer prowess she would possess in 'CQC'.. Well, that and her abilities with Eiko. "..And.." The blue flicker would appear in a forward somersault high above a small gathering, it's body rapidly twirling to the point it's edging appeared ridged and spiked. The ball would land conveniently between two stopped people, surprised at the crouched young woman mere feet in front of them. She was sweating and huffing a bit, having exerted quite a bit of her physical energy to perform such a new and stamina-consuming task. The young woman would come to stand moments later, quickly bending over afterwords to take deep breaths. ".. Done." The young lady now made her way to the village's sidewalks, moving until she was in a less crowded area. She spent the next half hour perusing through small stands and watching children play "Ninja" at the park.

Beside a stand she watched on, holding an above-average length water bottle she'd purchased moments before. She was reminded of a few years ago when she would play that same game with those other students she'd treated as slight associates. Never one to speak much, even as a child, she would simply play for sport and general training. She wondered what it would be like to enjoy it.. If she were lucky, she would maybe be able to gather some peers for a game. "Nahh.. It'd be odd to confront random shinobi just for a game.. Snap outta' it Aeria.." She whispered this with a slight smile, breaking the trance suddenly. She noticed the children farther off, there shouts muffled and strained thanks to the distance. She gave a girlish giggle, something very unlike her. With a raise of her left hand, she covered her gesture and went to turn away. As she did so, it became apparent she was once more ready to walk. Casually she would continue on, leaving the park area, so that she may reenter the calm streets.

The melodic sound was all that he could hear through the nonstop chatter of small talk between the people of the Village and the merchants trying to sell their merchandise. This made walking through the streets a lot more calm as he followed the sound of the music while his hands rested in his pockets. At the same time he was regaining his strength from the recent Training he put himself through all day. Not really stopping by anything Shizuku continued on heading to the Ramen Shop for a bite to eat.  

[Misujage]

”And You Are?”

M o n a

Mona walked through the crowded streets, eyes looking to her every once and a while. The Hokage's young cousin, who didn't look at her strange at times. She was most appreciative of those who did not care. It seemed she felt most normal only when she was ignored by those who knew of her relatives. She brushed the tassels back that hung in the doorway of the ramen shop, ushering her way to the counter and taking a seat. "Chicken ramen, broth only no meat. Small, thank you." She spoke abruptly before falling silent.  

[Luxky]

After a good time enjoying some Ramen at Ichiraku Shizuku felt that it was time to call it a day so he could relax then meet with the Hokage first thing tomorrow to speak with her about a Sword Style he was hoping she knew about and maybe had a scroll for him to learn it. His face was a little excited because he was just thinking how good it would be to learn the style. Until then he would be heading towards the Apartment complex since now he was living on his own as a Genin. It was his own decision even though his mother was against it. He could still visit them both at the Uchiha Compound of course.

Bang Shishigami

Bang walked around the town humming a song in his head while he looked around. The giant nail strapped to his back while the red cape flowed in the wind as he kept walking.

“Your skills are laughable. Come back when you learn the true meaning of fighting.”

Walking through the calm streets of Konoha, Tetsuo wondered what he would do first until the Hokage returned. There were a couple things in mind, some simpler than others, and Tetsuo just wanted something to pass the time. 'Maybe I can walk a dog or something. That sounds pretty easy.' He thought to himself, making his way to the apartments to see if anyones pets needed walking.

Shigeru felt disappointed and lost. The greatness of being in the village was not as great anymore. Shige resorted to finding subjects for his photography. He had found a couple of villagers arguing about a broken cabbage cart and took his fourth picture. Shige then later found a band of cats stealing from a butcher's shop, Shige took his chance and captured the moment. Walking down a narrow back street, Shigeru saw three children practicing jutsu. They looked quite young but they seemed determined. Shigeru took his sixth picture of the children. He continued down the narrow street and bumped into a kunoichi holding a bouquet of flowers, she nearly dropped it when they had collided. Shigeru immediately excused himself. The kunoichi was blonde and had a short purple skirt along with a short top. Shigeru also noticed the flowers that she was carrying. Wolfsbane The girl looked annoyed but went on her way. She was stunning Shigeru turned to see her walk away and smiled, taking a picture of her from behind.

A noise in one of the alleys caught Shige's attention. He turned to see what it was and spotted four Gennin. Four of them were unloading their troubles on the one, physically. Shigeru's eyes narrowed as he took a picture of what was happening before putting the camera away. "You, there." Shigeru spoke out. The four boys stopped their beating and looked at Shige. The Gennin they were beating was actually a kunoichi. She had white hair and red eyes. She looked up at Shige as well, surprised. There were few things that made Shige angry, this was one of them.

"Who the hell are you?!" One of the Gennin called out to Shigeru. He must be their leader "I've never seen a headband like that! Looks like we have oursleves another outcast!" The Gennin shouted with a devious grin. Shigeru looked down at the kunoichi. She looked about the same age as he was. She was bloodied and dirty. Spat on by the others. Shige was sure that the boys were getting ready to bring the worst down upon her if he had not come along. "Hey! Answer me outsider trash!" The Gennin attempted a right hook at Shigeru's left cheek. Shige leaned forward while turning slightly to the right in a clockwise direction.The Gennin's arm slid around Shige's head while Shigeru's left arm hooked over the extended arm from under it. Shigeru frowned in rage. With the Gennin's right arm restrained Shige shot his right knee upwards to the Gennin's abdomen, bending him. Shigeru let go of the Gennin's arm as the other two Gennin came at him. Shige bent backward as the two hooked at him. At the closest point to the ground, Shigeru flipped backwards, shifting his weight to his hands. As he flipped backwards, he kicked the bent over Gennin directly on the face. As Shigeru got to his feet, the two Gennin attacked. One on the left attempting a knee to his ribs, the one on the right attempting a hook to the back of his head with his left arm. Shigeru ducked and stepped toward the Gennin on the right, avoiding the knee from the left and the left hook. Shige, with his back against the Gennin to the right, shoved his left elbow into the Gennin behind him, bending him. He then threw his left knee upwards at the bent Gennin's face, sending hism back onto the alley wall. The Gennin that was to his left, was now on ahead. The first Gennin he had attacked, had recovered and was coming at Shige again from the right. Shigeru pushed chakra into his legs. He kicked upwards with his left leg, hitting the Gennin ahead of him on the nose, sending his head back. Shigeru then jumped up, sending his right leg upwards and forward into the Gennin's chest, plunging him into the alley wall behind him. The Gennin to his right was going for a grab but Shigeru stopped him with a side kick into the abdomen. Shigeru then took the time that the Gennin was taking to hold his now swollen stomach, to raise his right knee. Shigeru kept his position after his side kick, not facing the Genin. He merely turned his head to look at the Genin who was now straightening up from his bowed position. Shigeru then shot his raised right leg into the Genin four times within two seconds. Once to his abdomen, two to his chest and the last to his head, sending the Genin onto his back.

Shigeru retracted his leg from the extended position of his fourth and last side kick before lowering his leg to the ground. He looked at the kunoichi who was now getting up. She said nothing but an offended expression was apparent. The girl walked towards Shigeru and slapped him, across his left cheek. Shige's head had not been moved in the slightest but a look of confusion was draped over his face. The kunoichi then stood up on her toes to reach Shigeru's face. She kissed him, a delayed kiss, before taking off. Shigeru was shocked at first but satisfied shortly after. His gaze was on one of the Genin on the ground that was holding his forehead. Your welcome! Shigeru thought about the kunoichi. He then took out his camera and took a picture of the alley as he left.

KAMIKAZE

Kazuya strolled down the Village streets as casually as could be. He was so glad to have free air in his lungs. How he hated that everyone decided to bother him all at once. He'd certainly have to establish a rule about having more than two people at once in his office. He heaved a sigh and pulled out a yo-yo and strung it up and down performing a few tricks as he did so. "What fun~." He mused in delight.

Katsumi's face lit up with triumph as he seen the Hokage at a hefty distance from him. The evident truth was that Katsumi was glad to have distance amid him and the Hokage, who seemed to be busy amusing himself with a yo-yo. This of course should have been hinted by move itself. Even if that was partially true it was a dangerous game for any man if they played into the hands of there opponent. With distance separating both was time for a test. The abhorrent wind was now tending to bend and burst at high throttle off and on. His left hand rumbling through his pocket of his pants, he would pull out from its dark bowels a coin. The coin quickly began to flicker coming in contact with the fluorescent sun. He then started flipping it as a slight smile grew across his face. Katsumi saw the outcomes weren't on his side, a rather abashing outcome. Even with such recital, no feeble emotion engulfed him. Returning the coin, he stared across the road to his opponent. Katsumi took a few deep breathes as he started to pace himself forward.


During in the previous at the office confrontation Katsumi had seldom used any sort of physically straining or even acrobatically challenging move. So it made sense that he still had an abundance of energy. Katsumi seemed to be enjoying himself in spite of the fact that the Hokage processed more power. Katsumi removed a kunai from the strap on his person. Brushing it off he placed it in a lateral position so that the sharp edge would face outward. While he did this he focused on maintaining a stern grip with his teeth. This would ensure that they could not slide from position and injure his mouth. Taking his time he measured out his opponent predicting possible outcomes for an attack. Katsumi also took into consideration his opponents posture. After a moment of pondering possible outcomes he charged. Keeping his composure as he moved swiftly he was certain about his next assail. Moving as fast as his body would allow he kept the momentum from running as he pushed off the dusty road surface with a good amount of effort twirling his legs backwards and behind him he became airborne doing a backwards flip behind his opponent.


This would allow him to face his opponent from behind with only the most deadly intentions. Bracing himself thoroughly he shot his arms in between the arms of his adversary his wrists slanted upwards and curved over his shoulders as they pressed forward in attempt to hold him. In this position it would be impossible to to jump or move forward. With the space provided in between it would also be nearly impossible for him to snake his arms out. This, however was only the first step in his assault. There was a reason for him to put blades in his mouth. With both of his arms occupied blocking the movement of the Hokage's arms he figured this was the best way to gain an extra edge in attacking and defending. This was to insure if the Hokage tried to fall back or flip over Katsumi, the blade was bound to do some damage. Now of course that was not wanted by Katsumi. But to his perception it could have been a useful method to get his head-band.

[regular bushin have no physical form, he wouldn't be able to grab Kazuya with a clone unless it was elemental or shadow.]

KAMIKAZE

Kazuya smiled deviously, he finally had his first challenger. A bold one at that. 'What's he trying to pull off~?' he thought while continuing to play with his favorite toy, he'd play the fool until he finally got to see what this kid was made of. He carefully watched out the corner of his eye. "Oh, nice moves~." He said playfully before cracking his fingers, he was expecting some kind of indirect move seeing how the genin stalked him thus til this point. Katsumi's move ended with Kazuya's arms being locked in something akin to a full-nelson. "An arm lock... that was unexpected~." He said before trailing off, seemingly lost in thought. The Hokage remembered how late Katsumi came into his office, he hadn't seen what Kazuya's favorite weapon was.

In fact, his weapon was still in his hands right now. He wiggled his right middle finger subtly. He didn't want to give off the fact he was quite dangerous at this range. Suddenly the wire to his yo-yo would grow taut, the spindle itself would start to rotate in a rapid manner. The young Kage waited a few seconds before he made a move of his own. "Alright~!" He stated gleefully before his yo-yo took off from the ground, the spindle being the active part of the weapon would fly and hit Katsumi in his jaw like a rock. It might not have forced the kunai out, but Katsumi would have been dazed for a few seconds. Which was all he needed, because now the yo-yo was on its return trip. After hitting the genin's jaw and following through, the long wire would bend back impossibly and make an almost 180 degree turn sending the spindle speeding at Katsumi's temple. Of course, Kazuya was holding back, had it hit it wouldn't have been a fatal blow. He'd merely lose consciousness.
