Ryu watched them leave and smiled to himself "I'm a ninja, I see everything haha" he chuckled as he put his bowl away. He had done his combat training before breakfast so joining the others would be redundant. Perhaps this was a good time for a swim, near the statue there was a small inlet from the surrounding water. Ryu loved to go there to swim on occasion, mostly because the cliff edge to get down to the water was so steep only experienced shinobi could make their way down and that gave him a much needed reprieve from the watchful eyes of the recruits. The edge was as steep as he remembered, but posed no difficulty as he made his way down and began to tread water.
