"Impressive children."I watched from afar with my sharingan, it makes it a lot easier to understand how they fight and see what's going on, I might even copy a technique or two for fun and body bag them when they spar with me. Now that feels childish, those kids are not even half baked, Ryu shows promise. My work here is done. Still, none of them are worthy of inheriting my lightning techniques, why rush kids? Anyhow I can see where this is going, looking forward to the future, looks like the tutors...... Now all I have to do is duly note this and continue with my paper work, I hate to be a jack of all traits but since I'm an Uchiha, there will be a time I have to substitute the teachers if they aren't around. I'm more like the final boss for this children. My job is to be the deterrent of the kids in case they go berserk. Furthermore, there seem to be an intruder roaming around the camp, I don't know but his chakra reeks of no good. One intruder? No, I think more. Assuming more than one. None of the students should know about this. Showing up to everyone,"Leiko and company. After your training with your respective teachers please proceed to the high waterfalls."

"Agreed, the fight could have been better. But atleast we learned some things about our fellow jinchuuriki" Leiko replied to Natori as she watched how Ryu got up, without a scratch on him. "It seems it will take alot of damage to hurt him, I guess that kekkai genkai really proves it's use." She thought to herself. Leiko chuckled softly as Natori and Ryu started talking about sparring with each other. "I reall need to witness that fight. I think it would a be a though fight for Ryu-san to get through Natori-san's degense, but at the same time i don't know if Natori can inflict enough damage to hurt or slow down Ryu-san enough. Oh well, I just have to wait for their fight." She thought to herself, as she watched the two boys. There was a slight hesitation in Leiko's posture as she bit her lip, trying to decide what to do next. She wouldn't mind learning ninjutsu, but she also really wanted to improve her fuinjutsu and kenjutsu. "Ano, Kombei-sensei. I would like to learn some ninjutsu further along my training, but I would really like to focus more on fuinjutsu for now, if that's possible." Leiko asked the man that was adressing them, the hesitation and doubt dissapearing from her posture as she started to speak. Leiko wasn't really suprised when Izumi-sensei showed up, showing up like this just before training is somethinge she expected from Izumi-sensei afterall. "Hai Izumi-sensei." Leiko replied to the older girl infront of her, she wasn't sure why she wanted them there. But she would just have to find that out after training session this day.

if you need me kombei im going to be taking this one since he may have a future as a medical ninja" shin sensei told kombei as if they were old buddies and shin walked to his infirmary with Angelo on his back. once he was in the infirmary shin went to work pulling out the bone fragments himself and bandaging angelo up and waiting to for him to wake up as he smoked more. kombei watched as Shin took the boy to the infirmary then he turned to the students that would study under him which apparently were probably going to become kage's of their villages one day considering their chakra so he nodded to them "alright then we shall train here." then he turned to leiko and nodded to her "very well you will find Mario sensei in his "studio" inside the temple just go to your right when you go in you cant miss it" He said using the term studio lightly considering it was where he drew seals and more often then not his own ninja art as he like to call it. Then kombei sensei made a few seals "earth style: pitfall justsu" he said making a large crater below them and the only things keeping them from falling in was the pillars under then that were barly large enough for their feet "this excersie will help you keep balance while controlling your chakra. I will constantly be throwing stones at both of you and the pillars below you will shrink gradually until you will be forced to balance under a spike while avoiding stones. are you both ready?"

Ryu nodded, preparing himself and making sure he kept an eye on hi master and how much space he had. This would be slightly tougher for him, as he wasn't the best with his chakra control, but then again neither were most Jinchurikii, as they had massive chakra coils from adapting to having a giant creature made out of chakra lodged inside of them. "Whenever you ready, Sensei." Ryu said with a nod, putting all his focus on the task at hand. He gave a small nod to Natori, determined to last longer than the Suna-nin. He was, after all, the oldest and most experience out of the assembled genin.

"Arigatou, Kombei-sensei." Leiko replied happily, glad that she could study what she wanted. She took off towards the temple shortly before Kombei started making handseals. "Shame I have to miss this, it would have been fun to see Ryu-san fall in the pit." Leiko thought to herself as she watched the large pit that was created around the two genin. From the temple entrance she glared for a moment at Ryu before facing Natori and silently mouthed "Good luck." At the boy, she didn't really want to make any noise, fearing that Kombei-sensei might become angry if she did so. Leiko made her way in to the temple and set off to find the Mario-sensei's studio. As Kombei-sensei had said, she was able to find the studio rather quickly. Leiko knocked on the door, but didn't really wait for a answer, just after the knock she openend the door a bit and stuck her head inside. "Ano, Mario-sensei?" She said as she looked around the room, trying to find the fuinjutsu specialist.

Natori felt he had a slight advantage with this training. For starters he had slightly better chakra control than the average genin and he was used to the whole balancing act being that it was used so often when traveling on his sand. Still it was quite to this level. "I suppose blocking and using my sand wouldn't be very wise or fair would it?" He asked in a somewhat respectful, yet curious voice. It was a natural question. He had no idea if using his sand would allow him to learn to better control and focus in the use of his chakra. Still he would understand if it was not allowed. It would give him a further advantage over the older shinobi. "Don't take me too lightly. I won't let you win just because you're older." He said with a slight grin teasing his comrade. He was letting his guard down a bit. Strange for him, but he felt if he were to return to Suna without at least making one friend he'd likely hear it from his brother and father. He had to build bonds further than he was used too. This was a small step in leaving the metaphorical shell he'd been locked in for so long. ------------------------ Mario was in his his study as Kombei had said. He was deep in thought meditating while on his knees with his eyes closed when Leiko entered. "That Kombei sent you didn't he?" He asked as he opened his eyes and looking in the girl's direction. "I'd have preferred to wait until after proper chakra training had been done with each of the students before beginning my own training with you all, but this is just as well I suppose." He said calmly as he stood up and motioned for her to enter. "It would be best to watch and teach you to properly control, manage and utilize your chakra myself so as to avoid problems. The use for ninjutsu is different compared to the use in Fuinjutsu after all." He began speaking as if speaking to himself, but this information was aimed towards Leiko. "The focus and concentration required is great. It will be much more difficult for you being a jinchuriki though. Do you understand this?" He asked the girl calmly as he kept his gaze and attention focused on her.

im sorry natori but the exercise isn't meant for you to block with your sand. This is for you both to dodge the blows while keeping your chakra controlled while balancing. This will also help with your multitasking but that's a given." He said as he got into a stance and said "get ready" and after a moment he took a breath and made some quick hand seals "earth style stone barrage" he said and in the walls of their pit holes opened up and started to shoot stones at them from different directions it was meant to be easy to begin with so they only needed to worry about stones coming at them from the front but their pillars were already starting to degenerate slowly bit by bit as the stones flied... Angelo soon woke up in the infirmary groaned in pain from his arms and he looked down to see his arms were bandaged up and he looked up to see shin sensei smoking a cigarette "well its about time you woke up. what you were about to pull out their was to dangerous especially with your shaky hand you might have missed." Angelo looked at him unsure if he knew what he was able to do "you have potential to be a great medical ninja if you put your mind to it. however that choice is up to you" Angelo wondered what his options really were since he was a needle user with an odd set of eyes that he could use to see into other peoples bodies so Angelo nodded "your right, I want to learn how to be a medical ninja" Shin sensei almost looked like he was smiling for a moment before he lead Angelo to a koi pond and got one out waiting for it suffocate before putting it on a table and telling him how he needed to bring it back to life with his chakra...

Ryu gave Natorima nod before turning back to Kombei, and just in time as rocks began to fly his way. Ryu quickly set about dodging them, easily at first, but as time went on it got harder and harder, especially with the pillar under him shrinking. He almost fell at one point, but was able to stay on through his use of chakra, though he did get peltted by a few stones while he got his balance back. 'Man, this training's starting to get tough, but I have to persevre. I especially can't lose to Natori on our first real training session.' And so Ryu continued on, though he was clearly beginning to struggle as time went on and the stones began to fly at an increased pace, making Ryu have to keep a good bit of his attention focused on the direction they were com8ng from. Less attention, how ever, was being put into watching his footwork, something that was sure to bite him in the ass.

Leike nodded as the man came to the conclusion that Hombei-sensei had send her. Her heart skipped a beat as Kombei-sensei started to talk about what he was planning to teach her. She didn't want to wait, nor learn something else first. So she was happey when Mario-sensei invited her inside. "I allready know that, does he think I am some sort of bumbeling idiot?" Leiko thought to herself, after Mario-sensei talked about his lesson plan, which slightly insulted the girl. "It's not like I am novice." Leiko mumbled softly to herself, the annoyance of Mario-sensei's comments was clearly to hear in her tone of voice. "Hai, Mario-sensei. You will be suprised by how quickly I will master whatever you decide to teach me." Leiko stated with determination in her voice, she really wanted to show the man how good she really was. So far the sensei hadden't made a too great of a impression on her yet, but that might change once she started learning some fuinjutsu.

"Understood." Was all Natori said with a nod before the exercise began. He began first easily avoid the incoming stones, but as the platform grew smalled and the stoned flew faster he had to step up his game. Small grunts and a bit of heavy breathing could likely be heard as he shifted his position needing to take more care so as not to be hit. This was getting pretty challenging. But he wasn't about to lose to Ryu. He took a breath and began to concentrate more moving a bit more fluidly as he dodged. There were a lot, but soon he began to shift his position. How though? Anyone not trained would likely ask, but for Kombei-sensei and Ryu it would be obvious. He had began to focus his chakra into his feet so as to use even the edges and sides of his continuously shrinking pillar. Of course, he couldn't keep this up forever, and he wasn't perfect at it, but for the moment he was doing fairly well. ------------------------------- "Surpised? No dear. I've not been surprised since I found myself in the middle of a hot spring stand with nothing but a towel after stepping out of the changing room." Mario chuckled as he thought for a moment. "I did have a towel didn't I?" He questioned as if his young student to be would know the answer. "Quickly!" He suddenly called out seemingly changing the subject that instant before things got out of hand. "Tell me everything you believe you know about controlling your chakra. No about fuinjutsu." He stopped again. "No both!" He laughed whilst taking a seat behind what appeared to be a blank canvas. "Oh and while you do stand still and hold that fruit bowl." He said making it seem like he'd be painting or something of that nature while listening.

kombei made the signs again once he saw that the pillars have turned into spikes and that now the students would be forced to balance themselves on them while avoiding fire. He finished the hand signs and now more holes in the sides of the pit now they would need to dodge stones coming from 3 different sides of them. This would push their difficulty to a new level "if you can last 5 minutes more you can start blocking and hitting the stones before they reach you" He said knowing that since they were student they wouldn't last the 5 minutes unless they were lucky and even then he would make it even harder once again so he needed to gauge how far he could push them before they couldn't go on... Angelo was working with shin sensei and after a few hours he finally got the fish to breath and he passed as the fish jumped back into the koi pond and he nodded in approval as he took another smoke as he lead him to a room with books and graphs about the human body and he gave Angelo a book "start readying this one and by the time your done you should be able to tell me the basics of blood flow and nerves" Angelo nodded before he went to work reading even though he could already tell the answers but he decided not to argue...

Leiko was stunned for a moment with a questioning look on her face as she listened to Mario-sensei's strange story about a trip to the hotspring. "Uhhh..." She started muttering as she didn't know how to respond to that, even her training as for becoming a clan head couldn't help her here. It almost made her doubt if she wanted to use the hotspring here, with those type of people around. Leiko hesitated for a moment as she looked at the fruit bowl, before looking around the room at the other paintings. Which were really good, which didn't really suprise her since you need alot of the same delicacy and control in fuinjutsu as in painting. "You are a great artist, your other works are amazing." Leiko commented as she pickup the bowl with a slight hesitation. She didn't like paintings of people that much, she prefered to make them of still scene or nature. Leiko did her best to stand absoluty still as she started to explain everything she knew about chakra and fuinjutsu, in a very textbook style manner. "Chakra is formed by combining physical energy and spiritual energy. Physical energy comes from every cell in your body, and can be increased by physical training. Spiritual energy comes from the mind, and can be increased by studying and through experience. Through out the body is a chakra pathway, which allow the transportation of chakra to a certain point in the body. This system also contains 361 tenketsu, which control the flow of chakra in the system. The combining of energies happens while you prepare to use a jutsu, for this control over the amount of energie used is very important. If you use too little the jutsu won't work correctly or at all, if you use too much you will waste energie which can lead to you running out of energie before you opponent does. Normally handseals are used in order to help control and regulate the chakra flow. Experienced shinobi can use fewer or even no handseals to use some jutsu they are very familiar with." She explained, barely stopping to catch her breath, before she goes in to her second rant. "Fuinjutsu, also known as the art of sealing. It's one of the most diverse area's of the shinobi arts, and also one of the hardest ones to truelly master. During the creation of seals it's very important that every line, kanji and mark you make is spot on. Even a single drop of ink in the wrong place can mess you seal up. Generaly seals are used for storage. Anyting you can think of can be stored, it's all just a matter of designing the correct seal. Besides sealing things, seals can also be used to alter thing. For example the gravity seal alters the weight of a object or person. Conversion seals can change the element of chakra to a different one. There are many more options than that, your imagination is literlly the only limiting factor." Leiko explained in a rushed manner, clearly happy to be talking about a subject she loved. She just hoped that it was enough information for her sensei. She was barely able to keep standing still with the fruit bowl, she really wanted to show him the two seals she had created herself. For some reason she really wanted Mario-sensei's approval of her ability's.

Ryu cursed as Kombei upped the anti, and lasted probably anther two minutes before he lost his balance and fell backwards into the pit. Acting fast, he spun around in mid-air and transformed his fingers into claws of bones, digging into the earth to stop him from falling all the way to the bottom. "Well, at least I know what I need to work on now." (Sorry for short post, having a bit of writers block writing for Ryu at the moment)

Natori was glad that he'd outlasted Ryu, but this was all but impossible to continue on. Seriously... FIVE MINUTES?! He couldn't do anything more than one and even then... "W-woah!" He went down heading into the pit before a bed of sand appeared just a bit beneath him keeping him in the air. "Crap..." He mumbled as he turned his head. "I win..." He panted a bit with a small chuckle boasting at Ryu. --------------------------- Mario listened calmly as she spoke. "Mhm mhm. It seems you understand the things you've read or have been told." He chuckled and stood up. "NOW. With all that in mind. You'll be starting from the beginning! From properly focusing and controlling your chakra." He laughed heartily before grabbing his painting. "What do you think?" He'd just painted the bowl. Nothing else. Just the bowl. (Sorry. Short post.)

kombei sighed as he saw that they didn't last the full 5 minutes he asked but considering this was their first attempt it was a good effort now it was time to get them trained in their respective elemental natures so he made a few hand signs and the put fall started to rise up until it was just the floor again and they had their footing "alright next for your training you will need to train in your elemental natures depending on what they will be I will give you each a scroll in instruction of them." kombei said to them waiting for them to tell him their natures so he could give them the scrolls that they would need "remember because you are jinjurikies were going to be using your shadow clones to help train."

Leiko smiled slightly as Mario-sensei praised her explanation about chakra control and fuinjutsu. Even though she often heard words of praise at home, she know most ig not all of them were faked. It felt good to hear some, even minor ones, that were really meant and not faked. Her smile sligthly grew as she heard them, but it quickl faltered as the next sentence was uttered. "Nani?" Leiko muttered, she didn't expect she would have to start at the begning. "Ano, Mario-sensei, what will I be doing to start out with then?" She asked after she composed herself a bit. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she feared. Leiko looked at the painting with a slightly odd look, she liked the fact that she wasn't in it, as she had feared in the bgenning. "I like it, especially how minimalistic it is." She said we a slight smile as she observed the painting.

"Cool, I'll go with my strongest one first, Earth scrolls please." Ryu said, walking over to Natori and putting his hand out. "And yeah, I guess you did. Good job man, but wait until we start sparring, then I'll even up the score." Ryu felt pretty confident he could get through Natori's sand, though he knew it wouldn't be easy, that was for sure. Now that their was no need for them, Ryu focused on his claws, having them sink back into his hands slowly, so as not to cause the same pain that he had gotten from making them com out before. He was bad at doing sudden constructions from his body, it hurt like hell and was even worse when it was healing up . He gave a low hiss as the wounds the claws had made in his hands began to heal up, sending a sharp ache throughout his entire arm. "Man, is that ever not going to hurt like a bitch?"

Natori nodded with a slight chuckle. "I'll eagerly await that spar." He said calmly just before shifting his focus to their instructor once more. He didn't think he should shake Ryu's hand at the time because of the claws, but meant no disrespect at the time. And thus he was on to his next primary directive. "I would personally like to first focus on my Wind nature." His Earth Style wasn't his top priority, but it was next on the list. And final would be his apparent Kekkei Genkai, the Magnet release. That was something that interested him quite a bit. ---------------------------------------- Mario got quite the kick out of the young girls reaction. He was sure she wouldn't have expected to be starting from scratch. But he wouldn't do anything too over the top. Chakra control and chakra management first. It was quite important. "Go walk up the wall about halfway. Stand with your back facing the floor. You will concentrate all the chakra you can into your feet. Stay there. Do not move. Manage it wisely." He chuckled slightly. "I'll time you first. When you fall, you'll be allowed a break to recuperate. Once I feel you're ready we will move to the first technique. Any questions?" He barely waited a second before laughing. "Good! Now go!" He said as he took the painting from her leaving her to begin.

one earth and one wind" kombei said as he pulled out the scrolls the green one being wind and the brown one being earth and he handed them to each of them " I want you both to create 100 shadow clones each if you can make more even better just know that this will increase your ability to learn the skill but this will also increase your fatigue exponentially with the more clones you use. learn these techniques and ill give you more advance scrolls but for now just train with the basics" kombei said to them as he went away a few feet so they could create their clones with relative space. Angelo finished his studying and was finally done and he handled shin's quiz with some difficulty but he proved he did his work and shin told him that he needed to practice using the needles and their properties on others before training to use them on himself so they went outside to a simple range with bulls eyes and training dummies nearby the training area that natori and ryu were using as he started to throw his needles at each target easily and then shin made it more difficult by pressing a button and the dummies and bull eyes started to move in random directions as Angelo kept shooting his needles at them....

Leiko let Mario-sensei take back the painting, before turned towards the wall, which Mario-sensei wanted her to climb. Now she was actually rather glad that her parents insisted her on learning this exercise, regardless of how boring and annoying she found the exercise back then. Even though she has used this technique before, she never really tried to see how long she could last in one position, she didn't really have the patience for such things, so that would be a new for her to experience aswell. Leiko slowly put one foot against the wall, before channeling chakra towards it in order to stick to the wall. She did it slowly, so she could concentrate more on presurving as much chakra as she could. Even though she was a jinchuuriki, she didn't nearly have a endless supply of chakra. Far from it actually, hers reservers were pretty small, compared to some of the other jinchuuriki. When Leiko was certain her first foot was attached to the wall, she also planted her second foot on the wall. Before she slowly, but surely started making her way up the wall. When she reached halfway up the wall, she closed her eyes and tried to shut the world around her away for a few moments. So she could concentrate better on the task at hand. After about a hour of standing still, Leiko had almost reached her breaking point in her concentration. As she started to get really really bored, doing nothing. But it was here reserves that failed her first, once they were depleted far enough, her technique started to fail. As she lost her grip on the wall and started to fall. During her fall she just a small amount of force to push off from the wall, and start a singel backwards flip, which allowed her to land on hands and feet. "So.. what's.. next.. Mario-sensei?.. Leiko asked as she panted after each word. She was allready pretty tired from this exercise, but she wouldn't leave from this room until she learned somthing new.
