[speed and stamina training]
Jinn woke up late. He had promised himself that he would make an attempt at improving his speed and such, but it appeared his body clock was angry with him. Jinn grabbed his alarm clock and through it against the wall. "Useless piece of-" He begins to say as he steps on a rat making its way across his dirty room. Jinn walked to his dresser and placed his Kirigakure headband on his head. Jinn looked in the mirror at himself, for some odd reason it seemed that the person he was starring at was a stranger. Jinn turns around and begins to pack up his swords and kunai on his person. He walks out of the apartment and slams the door shut behind him.

Jinn begins his walk towards the forest of the village where it was more quiet and he knew he would least likely be disturbed there. Jinn was baffled at the fact that he was a little slower compared to the other chuunin in his class. He wanted to be the best at everything than anyone else. Therefore he could not accept the second place. He was still a little numb at becoming chuunin. The excitement not hitting him yet. He knew any other ninja would be excited at the rank but he just saw it as a title nothing else. He had seen in his spare time mere genin defeat chuunin ranked ninjas. Therefore he would remove the power from the rank to himself. He would make himself a stronger ninja and not depend on his rank, no matter how high it gets, to get him any where or any special treatment. So he knew in the long run the training that he has been doing will pay off. Jinn looked off in the distance as he began to see the trees from the forest sprouting out into his line of vision.

Jinn arrived at the forest and saw that it was relatively empty. No animals in sight. Jinn knew to keep his guard up because the forest was a mysterious place. At any moment an animal could jump out and you could become their meal. Jinn removed his top shirt and revealed his abs and well defined chest. He also removed his shoes making his feet bare. He ran over to a river near by and begin to run along side it till he reached the mouth or where it ended at. Jinn could feel the rocks sinking into his feet causing little tingles of pain, but he knew that it was nothing compared to what was to come. He had never been hit by an jutsu or struck by an sword. So he had reason to believe that getting a few pebbles stuck in your feet was a lot less painful that getting a limb removed. After a five minute jog covering about sixty yards he reached the end of the river. He was not tired at all, just doing the jog to stretch his muscles and warm him up for the intense training he hoped would start. Jinn pivoted on his left leg and turned his body around until he was facing the path he had just jogged on. Jinn bends his knees the correct way and begins to sprint forward. Covering the same distance in about one minute. He bends forward his arms stretched out and hands pressing against his knees, breathing loudly. He had not known he was this out of shape. He stands up once more resting his hands in his head. Jinn finally recovers from the sprint and realizes that while he is out he might as well improve his stamina with his speed. Jinn held his breath and dived into the river before him. He swam down to the shallow thirty foot bottom. Where he touched it and began to swim back upwards to the top. He did this ten times until he could not hold his breath any longer. He sprouted to the top, taking big gulfs of air. He swam towards dry land where he laid his back against the ground to rest. Staring into the sky he began to wonder on the possibility that he died before his dreams came true. He knew that there is a chance for every ninja to die, he just never thought to much of his own death. Many young ninjas like him had died in the past before their dreams came true. So it was always in the back of his mind. And to add to the scare he had not mastered the art of ninjutsu yet and he knew in the line of battle another person that knew ninjutsu he would be at a disadvantage. Jinn knew that at long range, he was not a threat at all. Which led to him wanting to increase his speed, so he would be able to close the gap between him and other people much faster, in order to make the battle close distance to his advantage.

Jinn stood up from the ground and revealed his heavenly ninjato. He looked at the sword observing its gleam and sharpness. He is about to sheath it when he has the feeling that he is being watched. Jinn unveils one off his pronged kunai and begins to spin it on his finger before slinging it forward into the bushes in front of him. Jinn hears the bushes move before the kunai makes impact. Jinn begins to slowly move forward towards the bushes and he pulls the bushes back and sees no one. He picks up his kunai and hears a leaf crunch behind him. He spins around off his heels to where he is facing the source of the sound. He points the tip of his ninjato at the suspects throat. Jinn eyes the person before him and puts down his ninjato. He knew the person it was a former academy classmate. His name was Suo and he unlike him had failed the exam to move forward as genin. Jinn looked at his classmate with pity in his eyes. Suo looks at Jinn with a snarl on his face and says, "You think your bad, Mr. Chuunin." He steps backwards and gets into a fighting position. Jinn remains quiet and raises his ninjato. "I am sorry, but I do not know what you was talking about. It would be wise to leave me be if you wish to live." Jinn's words do not quiver as he says this. Suo looks at Jinn hatred in his eyes. He swings a weak punch at Jinn which Jinn raises his hands to in response. He catches his wrist and begins to bend it backwards breaking it. Suo Screams from the pain and falls to his knees. Jinn spins on his heel and kicks Suo in the face. Jinn stares down at Suo coldly. Jinn walks towards the exit of the forest and his back vulnerable. Suo attempts a cowardly attack. Jinn keeps walking forwards and it is not long before Suo realizes that Jinn had removed his hand with his ninjato. "Drawn Sword" Jinn says as he continues forward.

Jinn is now in the village again, He looks around at the many shops he passes by. To end his training he decides to run home. Jinn hops on a roof top a few yards near him and begins to run. Leaping from roof to roof in order to reach his house. After twenty leaps and forty houses Jinn finally arives at the roof of his apartment where he slops down to the ground. Not from fatigue, for he could already feel that his stamina had improved a bit. Jinn lays on the rooftop his arms behind his head starring off into the vastness of the sky.

Jinn stood at the gate of kirigakure, both of his swords at his sides. He had recently been worried about his village. After hearing that Kirigakure was known for being very murderous. Though time does change a villages goal and motive, however others may not see it that way. There may be some lurking in the shadows to destroy Kirigakure and to take revenge on the nation that was once known as the bloody mist. Indeed long ago kirigakure was responsible for slaughtering many clans, angering people throughout the world. Jinn knew this that is why he would watch the gates and other areas of the village that were less likely to be attacked. Even if he was not appointed to do so, he knew that if there were to be attacked most villages would be too frightened to attack head on entering through the front gate. That is why Jinn has made it his priority to occasionally monitor areas like the sewer. He knew if he did things like this it would give him a little comfort knowing that his village was safe from danger and harm by opposing threats. Jinn was happy every time he saw that one of the villagers were happy and if he came across one that was not happy he would ask them, why not. He would then attempt to resolve the problem if possible. He knew that he could not try to be a hero and save everyone because what some people wanted was either exaggerated or impossible. Things like attacking other nations Jinn knew was impossible for him to perform alone and it would also be disrespectful to the hokage for him to attempt to do something so significant without his approval. Jinn stood on the top of the front wall that surrounded the village. From there he could see the entire village, though he could not see details unless he was closer. He began to walk down the enormous wall until his feet finally touched the ground. He then begins to walk heading towards the sewers to finish his patrol and spend the rest of the day training. Jinn continued down his straight path until he reached a sewer. He lifted the top from the ground and crawled in, halfway in he closed off his entrance not wanting to disturb the villagers. Jinn enters the sewer, the smell was not as bad as people would think. It still had an odor, but not to the extent where he would cover his nose. Jinn continued walking down the cement path. There was another path across the sewer from him. In the middle separating the two was contaminated water, containing the waste of kirigakure. He walked slowly his steps echoing throughout the sewer. He soon rounded a corner, where he caught something from the corner of his eye. It was a dark figure and it was heading pass the other corner further ahead of Jinn. This alerted him, he immediately began to think that it was just his imagination. 'No one would be walking through the sewers. There is no logical reason to be down here.' With that he draws his ninjato and begins to run through the sewer towards the corner where he saw the strange person. His sandals would echo loudly through the sewer. As they slapped against the soles of his feet and the ground. Jinn rounded the corner and ran straight into a a solid figure. He would fall backwards onto the ground, his arms flailing his sword would still be held in his right hand, unwilling to depart from his hand. Jinn would get up and shake his head to clear the dizziness. When he looked ahead of him he would see a large man. He was humongous and shirtless his chest bare. He had a large slash on his chest, going straight down. The scar on his chest was repulsive. Jinn looked at the man and said, "State your name and reason of being in the sewers." The man would just look at Jinn. "I will only repeat myself this one time, state your name and reason of being in this sewer." His voice low and dry. The man would look at Jinn and say, "I have no name and I need no reason to be down here." He would walk pass Jinn quietly without saying another word. "That is not enough." Jinn would say as he turned around. He would be met by a fist slamming into his cheek. Sending him flying across the sewer straight into a wall. Damaging it and creating an outline of his body. Jinn would be unconscious his body dangling from the hole and finally falling over into the sewer water. Jinn would wake up still in the sewer. He swam over towards concrete surface and rolled his body onto it. Coughing up water he would recount what happened to him. He would then feel his left cheek. He touched it slightly and winced and pulled his hand back on reflex. Jinn knew that the man that attacked him was stronger than him and faster. Though that would not stop him because he would need to save kirigakure no matter what the danger may be. He knew the man could not have gone far. Jinn unsheathed his sword and began to run while limping back towards the surface. He saw the mans shadow as he climbed the ladder attempting to reach the surface. "Stop!" Jinn would say. His voice weird from his cheek being swollen. The man stopped once he heard Jinn. He than began to climb back down into the sewer. It was not until then that Jinn saw the massive build of the man. He was at least seven feet tall and three hundred pounds of muscle. Jinn gripped his sword some more squeezing it. He took one step forward and suddenly the man appeared in front of him. "You are in the way." He said calmly as he raised his leg and attempted to slam it against Jinn's chest. Jinn would step to the side barely dodging the dangerous kick. He would then attempt to stab the man. Once he did he saw a light and soon after felt a shock in his hand causing him to drop his sword. The man saw this and used this moment to take advantage of Jinn. He grabbed Jinn by the head and began to squeeze it until he heard a noise behind him. It was a shinobi from the village. The man now out numbered drops Jinn and vanished into a cloud of smoke. The shinobi would run to Jinn. "Are you OK, whats going on here?" I was patrolling the sewers and I saw something strange so I follows it. That is when I was attacked by the man you just saw. Luckily you came before he crushed my head." Jinn would report to the shinobi. The shinobi would place one hand on Jinns shoulder and flicker him out of the village. Jinn would be outside. The shinobi would lay him on his back and then begin to heal him. Soon Jinn would be healed completely by the shinobi. Jinn would thank the man and then walk off in to the sewers once again. He heard the shinobis cry to stop him but, Jinn did not listen. He was back in the sewer again more determined than ever to stop the man. Jinn began to call out into the sewer. He knew that the man had to specialize in taijutsu because of his form of attack. Jinn was excited to fight him once more. In a short time he had begun to already plan out everything. Soon the man returned. Jinn wasted no time attacking. The man disappeared and then reappeared in front of Jinn. He then tried to kick out at Jinn. Jinn ducked the kick and hit the man in the groin with his sword sheath. The man began to hold his man hood tears coming from his eyes. Jinn then sliced at the man but stopped short remembering the lighting chakra that came from the man the last time. The man snapped out of it quickly and then uppercutting Jinn. Jinn was about to slam into the wall but instead somersaulted in mid air and used his legs to push off the roof. He pushed downwards jinns sword in front of him. I am not scared of a little shock. Jinn would say as he rammed his sword deep into the mans chest. The man was screaming from the pain of the attack and Jinn was screaming from the current that was flowing through his sword into his body. The current then stopped flowing, the man was dead. Jinn removed his sword from the body and also removed the mans head just to be sure. He did not believe in leaving someone alive that would possibly try to harm him in the future. Jinn exited the sewer tired. That was a test of Jinns health and he knew it. Jinn stood up fully and breathed in the fresh air of the village. He then would walk to the nearest clear area. He sat under a tree and looked at his blood stained sword. He was strangely getting used to killing. Though he did not like it he, felt it was necessary for him to grow further in his skills. He would not kill a person unless it would benefit his skill in making him stronger. If he saw that a person was too weak he would leave him behind not wanting to taint his hands. He knew that he wanted to help the Mizukage and he would do that by becoming stronger. His goal was to be a seven swordsman of the mist and he would accomplish it by any means necessary. Jinn was beginning to get stronger by the day and he could feel it. All of his training was beginning to pay off.

Jinn sat in on one of the roof tops in Kirigakure. The roof tops had become his place to relax and just observe his wonderful village. He would observe the villagers everyday patterns. He would watch them pin clothing on clothing lines and talk and gossip in the streets. He knew that the people of his village were safe as long as they kept their wits about them. The villagers knew that Kirigakure was always targeted for their actions in the past, before the volcanoes erupted. Back then Kirigakure was known as the bloody mist, for their viscous actions and ruthless killing. Jinn wanted the mist to go back in its old ways. That way they could demand respect and be feared again all over the world. If it was possible for those things to come true, he would aid in the restoring his villages old character and ways. Jinn had been looking from the rooftop for quite some time. He looked down and watched as the villagers began to close up their shops and end their day. Jinn watched as the last person on the street left. He looked around int the complete darkness. He stood up and began to head back to his apartment. Jinn opened the door and began to move through the apartment. It was dark and he could hardly see anything, he liked the darkness though. It brought a sense of calm to him and also interest, he liked to be unaware of the things in front of him so his judgement and actions would not be clouded. Jinn began to take off his sandals wobbling from leg to leg as he did so. He walked over to his bed, stepping on food and only god knows what else. Jinn collapsed in his bed today had been one of his more cal days he had experienced no problems at all. He closed his eyes and then drifted off into the land of dreams. Jinn stood upright his face down and his eyes locked on his hands which were stained with blood. In his left hand held his ninjato which also was blood stained. Jinn looked around at the damage around him. Houses and building were destroyed and missing whole sections. Jinn then looked down at the ground around the buildings. There were bodies of his fellow ninjas laying dead on the ground, their backs slumped over. Jinn looked up at the moon. Though there was something weird about it, it was the color of blood.

Jinn woke up his sheets wet from sweat. He had been having these kind of dreams for weeks, he took it as nothing. Tough at some times it seemed very real. Jinn sighed as he rolled out of his bed and began to walk to the kitchen. He had very little to eat, besides a few slices of bread. He grabbed the bread and bit into it. There was a 'crunch' sound signifying that the bread was old. Jinn ignored the bad taste as he wolfed down the bread. After he was done he would get dressed. He would put on his regular clothing which was a purple top and an orange shirt underneath the edges of it showing under the purple top. Jinn placed his ninjato at his hip and exited his house. He did not have to put on his headband because he always had it on. It was lazily hung under his chin. He closed the door behind him and figured that he would head back to the academy to meet some old friends. Jinn walked through the once again busy streets of his village. He continued his walk until he finally reached the academy. He entered through the doors and saw his old teacher, Mr. Kurama. Jinn smiled as he saw his teacher. They made eye contact and his teacher signaled for him to come over. Jinn walked pass the empty desks towards his teacher. They shook hands and his teacher congratulated him on his chuunin rank. "Thanks, but it is really nothing." Jinn said in an lazy tone. He was serious when he said it though. He hated being a chuunin. The fact that there were many ninjas stronger than him and in higher ranks than him made him want to abandon the title all together. "Why don't you spar with the academy students for a bit, you know show them the characteristics they need to become as strong as you." Jinn responded, "Sure no problem." He then walked back out the doors towards the training areas. He saw four groups of academy ninjas. Once he began to approach him they all looked in his direction curious of who he was. Jinn bellowed, :My name is Jinn and I will be instructing you in combat today." Jinn would say as he walked over towards one group of academy ninja. He then performed the bunshin and henge no jutsus with ease. The kids were shocked and happy to learn more. Jinn was about to show them something else when he saw a kid sitting alone on a swing his head down. "You all continue practicing, yeah?" He would say as he walked towards the kid sitting alone far off from the others. The closer than got the weirder he felt. "Hey kiddo are you all right." The kid looked at Jinn a mug on his face. His eyes shadowed. The kid then suddenly raised his head. Jinn followed the kids gaze and saw what he was looking at. There were a group of Genins approaching them. Jinn stood upright and removed his sheath from his side. He began to walk over to them his sheath in his hand. "Jinn would smile to them and say, "Hello! Is this not a wonderful day", his smile would be wide. "Whatever punk." One of the kids would say as he walked pass Jinn. Jinn would quickly raise his sheath in the air blocking the kids path. "I cannot let you come in here, ya see people are training very hard to become strong ninjas of Kirigakure,: Jinn would say still smiling. "Get out of our way punk, we are just gonna teach those kids a lesson." Jinn would still be smiling as he said, "No no the lessons shall be taught by me, bu thanks for volunteering." A kid would get annoyed and attempt to punch at Jinn. Jinn would throw his sheath in the air and catch it in the path of the boys fist. So that his fist would connect with the sheath instead of Jinns face. The kid winced as he hit the sheath, shaking his hand and cursing loudly. "Ya'll better leave now.: Jinn would say sarcastically. The kids too suborn to leave would all begin to get into fighting stances. Jinn then began to get irritated at the kids. Jinn looked over the kids and saw that they were few in numbers only three of them stood in front of him. Jinn figured he would show the kids something. He reached in his back pocket and began to slowly unfold a segmented staff. "OK I'm ready lets get this through." Jinn would say a playful look on his face. He knew that he was faster and stronger than the kids so he would take care not to seriously hurt them. The first kid punched at Jinn. Jinn stepped to the side grabbed his wrist and flicked him over onto the ground. Jinn then saw another kid approaching he would attempt a sweep at Jinns legs. Jinn would hop a little enough to avoid the sweep. He then would spin on his way down and slap his staff against the kids head. The last kid was a little smarter he stayed behind. Jinn smirked as the kid began to slowly circle him. Jinn would then disappear from the kids view. He would reapear behind the kid. He would then attempt a sweep of his own at the legs of the kid, Once Jinn made contact with the kid there was a loud puff. A clone, Jinn thought as he heard approaching footsteps from behind him. Jinn would turn around and see the real person attempting an attack from behind. Jinn would spin the staff on his hand by his fingers and then he would slam the staff into the kids midsection knocking the air from his lungs. Jinn would sigh as he would turn around from the group of bullies and continue to train the students.

Once Jinn was done with the training he headed out to the forest to began some more training. Which he felt needed to be done for preparation for situations in the future. Jinn would walk through the quiet forest. He would here every sound near him. He was observing the ground in front of himself where he saw a large footprint in the ground. Jinn looks at the foot print puzzled. He would place his own foot over the imprint and notice that whatever had made the print was large. Jinn would keep this in mind as he paced around the forest. Recently Jinn had been thinking more on the possibility of him not being made anbu or seven swordsmen. To insure himself before requesting the rank of anbu he wanted to reach Jounin. This would hopefully prove to the hokage that he was a hard worker and not just someone wishing to jump ranks. Jinn had to begin doing many missions so he could attain the rank quickly because he could not wait any longer. Jinn would see a stream ahead of him. He would walk to it and bend down. He would then reach into the water with his hands and scoop up a handful of water. He would raise it to his mouth and sip it to quench his thirst and dry throat. Jinn would sigh loudly from the refresh the water gave him. The sky began to darken around him as it would begin to rain. Jinn would walk over to a cave he had passed earlier to use it as shelter. Jinn would enter the cave and watch the rain fall from the sky. Jinn then heard a loud screech behind him. He began to run towards the source of the sound. He was surprisingly not scared at all. He had been noticing how his fear was beginning to decrease over time. Was it because he had been killing alot lately? Or maybe it was a sign that he was beginning to become more mature and less child like. Jinn would see something up ahead. It appeared to be a large egg and by large it was bigger then him. "Well." Jinn said as he walked around the egg. Jinn would notice that this was a nest. His heart would begin pounding in his chest as he began to realized that he may have stumbled into a nest of monsters. To confirm his thought a second later a large creature would enter the cave. Jinn would duck down behind the egg. He would then feel a tickle in his nose, which causes him to sneeze loudly. Jinn would immediately slap his hand over his own mouth. Though it was already to late. The monster knew where he was and he was angry. Jinn figured he probably did not choose one of the best places to hide. The large bird would screech once again. Causing Jinn to cover his ears from the sound. The creature would then walk over towards Jinn its head lowered. Jinn still holding his ears, which were now bleeding. The bird would attempt a peck at Jinn. Jinn would roll over to the side causing it to pecs the ground. Once it removed he peck Jinn looked at the damage the beak caused. There was a 5 meter hole in the ground and it went twenty feet deep. Jinn would look at the damage and gulp. The bird would shake its head wildly and attempt to charge at Jinn. Jinn would stand his back against the wall and at the last second he would move from the wall, leading to the bird slamming its beak against the wall. Jinn had planned this from the moment he saw the bird first get its beak stuck in the ground. Once he saw this he had put together a small plan which was to bait the bird into charging at him again and then once he would get his beak stuck Jinn would attack and that is what Jinn was doing. While the birds beak was trapped in the wall Jinn would leap into the air and unsheathe his sword, he would then raise it above his head and say, HEAVEN'S SLAM!!" The sword would cleanly remove the birds head from its body. Jinn still in attack mode would run over to the unhatched egg and stab it several times, the blood from the unborn creature spewing out into his face. Once Jinn thought that he was done and that the creatures would pose no threat to the village and himself, he stopped his actions and walked away back towards the front of the cave. There he would sit and wait for the rain to stop.

After the rain finally stopped pouring from the sky, Jinn stepped our from the cave, back into the familiar mist that surrounded the village. Jinn had been living in Kirigakure for his entire life, so he was an expert at moving through the mist. Though to be careful he would always keep his hands in front of him so that just in case he was closing in on a tree he would know and then he would be able to turn himself around to avoid injuring himself. Jinn finally found a walking trail in the forest, from there on he would walk through the forest back to the village. His shoulder slumped over and his hands in his pocket. His hair was soaked and he knew it. He shook his white hair that went down his back violently. The water spraying into the air. Jinn sometimes hated his hair because it made him stand out from others, but that was also another reason why he loved his hair because it made him different from others. Though if he was ever trying to be undercover he would easily be spotted. He smiled at the thought. He then accidentally bumped into a woman who was carrying a large vase of water over her head. She and the vase fell to the ground the only difference being she did not break. Jinn cringed as it fell to the ground. :I;m sorry I;ll pay for that." Jinn would say his eyes closed an apologetic look on his face. The woman would turn red and say, "No worries, because you will be fetching me some more." The woman said her face red. Jinn looked at her, she had black hair and her face was perfect in every way. She looked over at him and caught him starring at her. Jinn would immediately turn his head, blushing. The woman would smile at his shyness and give him her address so he could return with the water. Jinn would turn back to the forest and begin to run to the stream, on his way there he would get a bucket to put the water in. Jinn would run down the hill which led to a small stream. Jinn would then carefully feel the bucket. Taking his time to not ruin it and risk coming back a second time. Finally after Jinn was done he would head back towards the village. Once he was close he would sit the bucket of water on the ground and begin reading the address he was given and from the looks of it the woman was living in a small hut a far way from the main area of the village he lived in. Jinn would arrive at her door and knock on it. Moments later she would open it. "Hey...I have the water." Jinn would say looking through the crack of the door. Jinn would then hear several locks being undone before the door was completely open. "That is great...why don't you come in." She would say and there was no way Jinn could resist the temptation so he walked through the door. "Take a seat, dinner is almost done." Jinn would sit down on the couch relaxed, his legs stretched out to their extent. Jinn would watch as she approached him a glass in her hand. "I know you must be thirsty." The woman would say a smile on her face. Jinn would take the water and sip out of it. He would then place it back on the table and fall to sleep.

Jinn would wake up his hands tied behind his back tightly. He would then say dryly, "Whats going on?" He would look around himself and see that he was captured. She must have messed with my drink. Jinn would think. The lights in the room he was in would turn on. Jinn would look around his eyes irritated from the brightness. He would hear a deep voice say, "Hello." Jinn would stand up unable to move his arms freely. He would then peer into a hole in the room. Jinn would sigh as he tapped his feet against the wall testing its strength. He knew he could break through it now, easily with a kick. So Jinn pulled his left leg backwards and then bring it forwards with all of his strength. He busts through the wall creating a hole big enough for him to crawl through. He got on his knees and began to do so. Jinn finally exited the room. He stood up and saw a man in front of him counting something. Jinn would approach from behind and spin his body. He would then kick using his heel, aiming for the mans temple. The kick would ;and perfectly instantly killing him. Jinn would walk over tp where his swords were and he would use the edge of his katana cut the ropes. Once free he rubbed his wrists to bring back the blood flow. He would then hear a feminine laugh behind him. He would turn around and look directly at the woman his ninjato in his hand. The woman would say, "What are you gonna do kid. You would not dare raise your weapon to a woman." Jinn would smirk as he seemingly sheathed his sword. He then walked pass the woman as she bled to death on the floor.

Jinn now free from his captors would report the situation to the shinobi of his village. He would then head back to his home. Tired of this days problems.

Jinn would be sitting down under the shadow of a large oak tree, watching a few Genin spar. He would reminisce on the days that he was a young Genin, trying to become stronger everyday by training for large amounts of time in the same area he was sitting at. Jinn would watch as the Genin's sparred at a speed which was remarkable for their ages and ranks. He would look over at the large object laying beside him, covered in a large towel. Jinn would grab the handle of the object as he watched the spar. He watches as one of the kids seemingly toyed with the other. Dodging with both of his hands in his pockets, while his eyes were closed. Jinn would smirk at the large ego of the kid, as he stood up still holding the handle of the large object that was beside him. Suddenly the kid that was acting cocky would open his eyes and reveal a cold glare. He would then body flicker behind the kid, a kunai ready in his hand he would hold the kid in a head lock with his right arm around his neck and the kunai in his left hand pointed towards the kids throat. Jinn would sprint towards the kid with the large object still held in his hand. He would sweep the kid that was holding the kunai. The kid would fall to the ground surprised and shocked. Jinn would swipe his sword into the air and the large towel would fly off of it, revealing an intimidating large black sword. Jinn would point the sword at the kid that was on the grounds throat, while standing over him a calm look in his eyes. "Go home." He would simply say to the kid. The kid would run away after getting up. Tears streaming from his eyes. Jinn would turn around and face the student that would have been killed, had he not intervened and stopped the matter from happening. "Are you OK?" Jinn would say to the kid in front of him, who looked shocked at them size of the massive blade. "I'm fine." The kid would reply. He would then point a finger at the eight foot blade in Jinn's hand. "What is that." Jinn would smirk at the kids curiosity. "Oh this guy, he's my sword, Black X Calibur." Jinn would say as he raised the sword above his head with his left hand. His right hand resting on his hip. "Thanks for saving me back there, that guy is a real jerk." Jinn would smile fully, showing his teeth and say, "It's alright, I'm used to dealing with jerks like him." Jinn would say as he turned around and began to walk out of the park. The sword still in his left hand. He would take a detour back towards his apartment. Not wanting to attract any unwanted attention. Jinn would begin to sprint back towards his house. He would finally arrive at his house and flop on his bed. He would lift his sword into the air and observe it with his eyes. "I remember when I first got this baby." He would say.

[Flashback]

Jinn was training his kenjutsu specialty. He would raise his sword above his head and strike it downwards. He would here footsteps behind him and turn around slowly, his heart pounding in his chest. He would turn around to see an old man, with a long white beard.

"Who are you?" Jinn would say with a peak of curiosity in his voice as he observed the old man standing in front of him.

"O hey kid, I did not see you there at first. My name is Yamoto and you are?" The man would respond with the same amount of curiosity.

Jinn would observe the man's eyes as he spoke. He could tell that the old man was wise and had a lot of experience in his life. "My name is Takizawa, but you can call me Jinn." Jinn would say as he looked at the man.

"Takizawa huh, well Takizawa can I see that sword you got there?" The old man would say to Jinn his hand held out in front of him. His eyes would have small kind wrinkles around them.

"Sure." Jinn would say handing the sword to the man. "What do you want it for?" Jinn would say to the man, after handing over the sword.

"No reason, I just thought I saw something." The man would say. He would lift the sword to his eyes and smile as he looked at it. "Yep, just as I thought." The man would say with a smirk. "This is one of the legendary swords first used in the Great Shinobi war that took place before the war."

"You mean that piece of junk. I found it in a river while I was swimming. I did not know it had that much value in it." Jinn would say to the man as he dug in his ears. He would pull the finger out of his ear and observe the wax.

"I know this may sound a little weird coming from a stranger and all, but can I break the seal on this sword?" The man would say to Jinn, holding the sword up to the sky in his right hand.

"Seal?" Jinn would say. He had had the sword since he was a child, but he had never noticed a seal on it. "I don't care, just as long as you bring it back." Jinn would say to the old man.

The old man would laugh. "What do you mean? You're coming with me." The man would say as he touched Jinn on his shoulder.

The area around them would then begin to seemingly move and become blurry. Jinn would then see nothing, but blackness that would be short lived. Jinn would still be standing the with man's hand on his shoulder. He would look around at the new area he was at. There were numerous mountains around him and even from where he stood he could not see over the top of the mountains. He would then feel the hand being removed from his shoulder.

"Where are we?" Jinn would say to the old man. His voice would be filled with even more curiosity than before. He was excited to be in a new place. Especially one he had not known existed. He smiled widely as he looked around at the mountains and forest surrounding them. Jinn was happy in the outside, but on the inside he would be frightened. He had just been brought to an unknown location by a man he did not know.

"We are in the mountains just outside of Kirigakure. Few know of this location. I trust that you will not tell anyone about your visit here." The man would say to Jinn, with a smile.

Jinn would nod at the man's request for him to keep the location they were in a secret. He would watch as the man began to walk forward towards a large square building, that looked as if it would fall apart at any moment. Jinn would be cautious when walking into it. He looked around at the inside of the building and was suprised at how modernized it was compared to the outside. There was a bar and a large sofa. Although the thing that caught his attention the most was the large sword guild in the back. Jinn would walk towards the wall that had many swords lined along it.

"Are all of these for you?" Jinn would say to the old man. He was curious on how the man had obtained all of the swords. they all appeared to be rare. The one that caught his eye the most was a large black one that sat against the wall. It was rusty, but something about it made Jinn want to have it. He felt as if the sword was calling his name.

"Yes, these are all mine. They are collectables from all of the past Shinobi wars." The man would notice Jinn looking at a particular sword. He would smile slightly and say, "Oh I see, you want Black X Calibur. I am sorry, but all of the time I have had that sword, no one has been able to wield it." The man would say seriously, as he looked at the sword. "Let me show you." The man would walk over to the sword and grab the handle. He would try to lift the sword, but because of its weight he would be unsuccessful.

"I see, no one can weild it because of its weight." Jinn would say after observing the mans attempt in lifting the large sword. He would then approach the sword, grabbing its handle he would set his feet and lift the sword above his head, but after a few seconds of having the sword over his head he would loose strength and drop it on the ground.

The old man would look at Jinn while the sword was suspended over his head. His eyes would be enlarged and his breathing quickened. "I cannot believe...a mere child could pick up such a destructive weapon." The man would step back as Jinn dropped the sword onto the ground, creating a large crater. The man would still appear shocked though as he looked at Jinn.

Jinn would smirk at what he believed to be a compliment. "So....can I have it?" Jinn would say as he looked at the old man, expecting him to say yes. "I'll trade swords with you if you want. You can just keep that raggedy sword that you brought me here for." Jinn would look at the man and wait for his reply.

"Yes we'll see about that after I break the seal off of this sword." The man would hold the sword in his hand and he would begin to concentrate on it. The room would be filled with a glow of blue light. There would be a loud boom and the sword would transform into something beautiful. "Are you sure you want to trade now?"

Jinn would look at the swords new transformation. He had carried the sword with him since he was a child but he had never known that it possessed so much power. "I know, I'll take both of them." Jinn would say to the old man.

The old man would sigh and say, "We'll see." He would turn around and begin to walk towards the door.

Suddenly a large shadow would appear intercepting his path. All Jinn would hear was a terrifying scream and the old man fall to the ground. Jinn would watch his heart pounding hard. The man would look around and say, "Where is Black X Calibur."

Jinn would flinch a little after seeing the dead man's body. This was his first time witnessing a death. Jinn suddenly became enraged. He turned around and picked up the nearest sword to him. He grabbed hold of the handle and charged towards the man and said, "'Blade Dash'." Jinn, with his knees now bent, would lunge forwards and slash the mans head off of his shoulders. Jinn would sway the sword into the air as he turned back around. He would then remove all of the man's limbs, out of shear anger and fright. After he was done he would notice that the sword he had just used was the Black X Calibur.

The old man would move a little and beckon for Jinn to come closer to him. "Caught me off guard." The man would say. He would then caugh up a large amount of blood.

"Stay quiet you are in no position to talk." Jinn would say, while looking around for a first aid kit to help nurse the man back to recovery.

"There is no need. You can have the swords. With my last strength I will get you out of here." The man would say. He would then touch Jinns hand. The area would begin to change, once again.

Jinn would appear back at his training spot, where he first was. He would notice in his hand was the large Black X Calibur. A tear would slip from his eye as he looked at the sword. He was confused. He did not know whether to be sad or happy. He was sad that the man had died, but he was happy that he got a brand knew sword. Jinn looked up at the sky and felt the rain as it fell on his face. I will not let your death be in vain. Jinn would think to himself as he headed back home.
