Ninjutsu Training

Kio stood, in his room, staring out his window, looking at the weather. The reason he was doing so was to think, think about whether or not he should train. After passing the genin exams, he had not yet received an instructor, a Jounin sensei which would teach Kio, along with two other genin. He was not yet put on a Genin squad, nope, he seemed to have been the only genin in his class who didn't receive one, who wasn't put on a squad. He would sigh, the whether being perfect enough for Kio to begin training, training to begin mastering the art of Ninjutsu. He would turn around looking at the nightstand placed right next to his plainly colored bed. His bed had been colored grey, every last part. His covers had been colored grey, along with the pillow cases, and the sheets. The nightstand, had possessed the book of Kio Okinaga, an old book he had brought some time ago. With a sigh he continued, walking over to his closet. At the moment he wasn't wearing clothes that had been proper for anyone to work in, currently he was wearing a black T shirt with some black pants, neither having been meant for anything other than sleeping in or staying at home. He grabbed onto the handle, sliding the door to the left, into the small place that had been built into the wall. The door now open, he would view the selection of clothes he had, from shirts to pants. He took out a white, plain, sleeveless shirt. He would begin by taking of his current black shirt, and replacing it with the white sleeveless shirt. He then grabbed his cloak, his black sleeveless cloak and put it over the white sleeveless shirt. He continued by grabbing some pants that were better meant for training, plain black jeans with pockets on the sides and back. There had been a total of four pockets. He then dragged out some shoes, and put them on. After getting ready for training, he smiled, looking up on the top of the closet, and stared at a shelf, having his shinobi head band on it, leaning against the wall, the other end on the shelf not too far from the wall. The two ends of the clothe were folded behind the headband, leaning onto the wall holding the forehead protector up. He would reach up, grabbing it, his smile remaining. This was one object that had made him proud, having passed the genin exams with ease, with a simple two techniques used. Although it hadn't been a hard test at all, it was the first steps towards becoming one of the greatest shinobi. His smile slowly disappeared, as he tied the head band on, tying the two ends of the cloth in the back, to where the metal plate was on his forehead. On the metal plate there was the symbol of Kumogakure, indicating that the shinobi wearing the forehead protector was a member of the village, and a shinobi from that village.


After he had gotten ready for his training he would begin his first steps on the journey to mastering the art of Ninjutsu by stepping into his hall, walking towards his staircase inside his home. The hallway's floor creeking as he took each step, the wooden floor was old. Each step made a creek sound, as he walked slowly down stairs. His cloak had reached down to his ankles, however Kio hadn't tripped on it, and he most likely wouldn't in the future, in the present, and he already hadn't in the past. Once downstairs he turned to his left, and headed into the kitchen. His reasoning for traveling to the kitchen was simple, instead of the front door being placed somewhere like the living room, his was in the kitchen. Kio had figured this to be rather unique, seeing as he doesn't know anyone else's home who's front door is in the kitchen. He continued, opening his front door after unlocking it. He pulled it open, then walked out turning around to lock it once more.




He traveled down the streets of Kumogakure, listening to some as he passed by as they said congratulations on passing the genin exams, he thanked those who had done so and continued on, towards the shopping district in Kumogakure. He was heading there rather than his normal training grounds due to the fact that it had a library, he was going to be doing some research into Ninjutsu, and hopefully finding anything that the Academy had skipped or haven't gotten to yet. He was hoping to find something on Ninjutsu, perhaps information on certain techniques, or anything of use really. He continued, looking up at the blue sky. There were few clouds in the air, covering up only a bit of the blue sky. Other than the clouds, the perfect blue had been ruined by the sun, which had been a big ball of light in the center of the sky. It was noon, around the time of twelve fifteen. Around the time Kio had normally eaten at the academy, usually he would eat some simple ramen, other times he would bring along a simple sandwich.



He continued on the streets, soon arriving at where he had wanted to travel. It was a library, having multiple books for both citizens and shinobi. It had information on techniques, and certain categories for jutsu. These categories being known as Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, there had been more, however he hadn't known many more than that. He began to walk into the library, with a smile on his face. Often he would visit this place, for information on training. This was where he had brought the book of Kio Okinaga, the first. Walking in he would notice the shelves, on the walls and standing up in the room. He walked towards a certain shelf, where he knew the book on Ninjutsu would be. He began to look at the colored book covers, all having their names on the side so that the people could find them with the way they were stacked. He stopped, looking at a red colored book cover, it had been the one he was looking for. He pulled it out, going over to a table to read the information. He flipped over the cover, and with a smile began to read over the pages, he skipped over to the chapter containing information on Ninjutsu, skipping over genjutsu and Taijutsu. He began reading some facts he had already known, such as ninjutsu meaning Ninja Techniques. Ninjutsu would allow for the user to do things that normally wouldn't be possible, for the average every day citizen. He read the book completely, least, everything involving ninjutsu. He hadn't really learned anything other than the stuff he had already known. He sighed, going back to where he had gotten the book and placing it neatly back onto the shelf.



He then headed for the training area he had normally gone to. He rushed down the streets of Kumogakure, hurrying to a point to where he could be alone. Soon enough he arrived at a small cliff, not too far from the village gates of Kumogakure. He sighed, leaning back on the rocks, trying to take a rest. He began to think, being genin hadn't been too different from being a student at the academy. He sighed, hoping to have been put on a genin team by now, hoping to have people to train with. But nope, he had to train alone, by himself. He had to teach himself as well, he didn't have a sensei to teach him. He sighed, simply getting back up and facing the very rock he had leaned against to rest upon. He began to perform a few hand signs, to get some simple practice in. He would begin to prepare his chakra, as he finished his hand signs he would blow out creating a small current of flames aimed at the rock. The flames were at high temperatures, melting a bit of the rock as he continued to blow out the current of flames. He continued to blow, wondering. What would he be doing, in a few years from now? Would he be at a higher rank? Hopefully he thought, perhaps a Jounin, at the most. Though he wondered, what would he be doing? Perhaps he could be a Jounin who would lead a team of genin, though, their lives would be in his hands, and should he fail he'd take the blame. He didn't like the idea of young shinobi just starting their lives being in the hands of himself, at least, for now. He stopped blowing, beginning to breath slightly heavier than normal. He had continued to blow for quite some time now, continuing the technique. He stared, at where the fire had hit, the fire melting the rock enough to make a small crater in the rock.


He continued to breath, looking up, at the sky. The clouds have began to come, more and more, they grew darker. It had appeared as if a storm was coming. It was strange, yet at the same time slightly not. From what he had seen earlier, it had been nearly, if not perfectly clear outside. However now it was nearly about to rain, maybe due to the fact that the winds were moving at high speeds, pushing the clouds over the few hours of travel it had taken Kio to get here, and begin his training. He sighed, hurrying back into the village. He ran, towards his home as the thunder above would begin to roar. The streets were clear, everyone else had been inside, other than a small child who had been running as well. The child appeared to be around the age of four, and appeared to be lost due to him yelling for his father and mother. Kio would dash over to the child, and offered to help him find his family. He picked the child up off the ground and put him on his back, then running, jumping up onto the roof tops as he dashed across the village, looking for where the child's parents were. Soon enough he would find them, near their home looking for their child who was never supposed to go too far from home, and ended up doing so. He had returned the child to his parents, and made way for his home.



As he was dashing through the streets rain began to fall. He pulled over his head, the hood from his cloak. He walked, as the drops of rain slowly began to fall towards the ground. It had only been a few drops that had hit the ground when a shop owner, a man who owned a restaurant Kio had never really known about, invited Kio in due to it being about to rain and Kio being a child in his view. Kio took the invitation inside, and joined the man in his small shop which sold hot, delicious food. A rumbling sound would be heard from kio's stomach, skipping lunch to go out and eat may not have been the best idea, and now he couldn't get home due to the fact that the weather had been bad. The old man who owned the food shop offered Kio some food, seeing as Kio was hungry and the restaurant owner needed to test a new product going up on the menu. Kio accepted the food, greedily as he was rather hungry, and then asked how much it would cost. Due to the fact that he was doing the man a favor at the same time it had been slightly free, just charged a little extra his next time eating here. He took the first bite into what seemed to be a chunk of bread, he pulled back, tasting the meat and cheese within the bread. Steam would come from the open part of the food, the part in his mouth slightly burning it, however not too much. He swallowed it quickly, it had been indeed good. After finishing he thanked the man, and headed out, due to the rain now beginning to stop. He headed home, having done a day full of training
