Training Once More {Solo training}

Kino sighed, wandering through the borders, heading towards Sunagakure. Being honest with himself, he had no idea on which direction he was heading, which direction was home. He was lost, he had no idea how to get back to Sunagakure, perhaps he wasn't meant to meet his sister at the moment, but instead perhaps at a later date in time, perhaps the near future, or probably a time closer to Kino's death bed times. He doesn't know, he was actually, at the moment, more worried about finding a new home rather than reuniting himself with his half sister. What to do, what to do. Reunite himself with his half sibling, at the same time possibly changing the future, of course, thinking about it every little action changed the future. What words are spoken, what blood is spilled, the littlest of things can lead to a horrible future, however horrific events can lead to a pleasant future, though it seemed improbable, it was not impossible. He sighed, thinking. How would any of this effect his future? If he wandered to find a new home, he may end up later finding his half sister buried in a grave, having failed to have been there to save her from her killer. However if he sets off now in search for his sister, he may miss important things that would, or could have been somewhat useful to Kino's future. The decisions, knowing these two options, and probably not the only two, there could have been hundreds for all he knew, however he, at the moment, was blind to the other options. He sighed, only continuing on the dirt path towards, well, who knew where.



Kino continued on, he felt as if he was running out of energy, he sighed, climbing up a tree and sitting down on a branch. He was wondering, perhaps he could train.. He has obtained a few new techniques since first beginning to train in the ninjutsu art. Ever since he began to train for using ninjutsu, his ninjutsu skills have increased greatly. Perhaps he should be training indeed, to better enhance his skills. Having obtained three or so new techniques since setting out for Sunagakure, he would have to choose.. which to train with.. Perhaps he could choose all of them, but that would mean choosing one to go first. They are all lovely techniques, two of them being capable of killing and causing quite a bit of destruction, the other is meant for capturing. Though he didn't get up, he simply sat there, waiting, deciding. He had the nature release of fire, also known as Fire Release. It was a common nature release among those of the Uchiha, seeing as the technique known as Fire Ball jutsu, was used to test maturity, to test if they were fully prepared to activate the sharingan. Kino has used this technique before, using it to escape the prison he was trapped in. He used the fire ball technnique's destructive properties to create a crater in the ground, burning the bars slightly and creating a crater small enough to crawl under. That same day he was attacked by the one he shared a cell with, Kino easily, quite, easily captured the man in a Genjutsu, which was known as Sharingan Genjutsu. The man hadn't been killed by the genjutsu, seeing as it seemed impossible to kill with genjutsu. He was only knocked out at that point, at the mercy of Kino. Kino imprisoned the man once more, as he decided what to do with the body of the knocked out shinobi. The body was placed in a different cell, rather than the one he could escape from once he awoke. The cell was locked, there was no way around it. Though, before he could awaken, he began to perform the fire ball technique to kill the man, rather than letting him starve there. He knew that the man would awaken and try to attack Kino more and more, Kino simply avoided that by burning him to death.



Kino sighed once more, thinking of past family. He remembered two people alive in his life that he once knew, his step mother and his half sister. He didn't care for his step mother, however his sister, another story. The whole reason he was traveling to Sunagakure was to kidnap his sister out of the village, yes, and have her journey with him. Rather than staying there, he could do that, he already decided upon it. Yes, the perfect plan. Least he hoped so anyways. He could take her, his last family member, and make sure this one doesn't die. His sister seemed to be the last member of his family remaining, though he was unsure of her kekkei genkai, perhaps she had the same kekkei genkai as himself, the sharingan. Seeing as both of their fathers were Uchiha, and they shared the same father, however their mother's were different, so there was a chance she had a different kekkei genkai, and not the Doujutsu known as the Sharingan.


Kino possessed the sharingan, he had the third tomoe. He had earned two of them in a fight with his father, the man he had killed in an epic fight. The fight was long, and fought hard on Kino's end. Kino risked his life multiple times during the fight, though only slightly. His father later revealed the fight as a simple spar, where Kino's goal was to kill his father. His father wouldn't have killed Kino, presumably, he was acting. His father revealed his plot as Kino had stabbed him with a Kunai in a fatal area, but not fatal enough to kill him soon. His third tomoe was gained differently, he couldn't remember it clearly but it was when someone had incredible speed, and was capable of knocking out Kino in seconds, despite his sharingan being activated. He sighed, wondering. He remembered being capable of breaking out of the large rock wall blocking him from exiting the prison, he used the Fire ball technique after a few hours of resting, allowing for his chakra to return. He used the Fire ball technique on a specific point on the wall, eventually it had gave out, creating a large hole within the wall. It was large enough to jump out of, though Kino waited and rested, a few more hours to allow for his chakra to return, in case he ran into more trouble, which he didn't. The path to Sunagakure has been completely clear since he had set out from the prison that had confined him. He has been training in Ninjutsu since, and recalling past Academy teachings. He remembered that there were five different Nature releases, Fire release, one that Kino possessed, he was born with it, it was his affinity nature release. Then there were four others, Wind release, Lightning release, Water release, and Earth release. Each was powerful in it's own view, and each had advantages over certain other nature releases. Fire release, for example had a disadvantage to water release, however an advantage over wind release. Perhaps it was time to begin training, Wind release slightly sparked Kino's attention. However so did Earth release, however he felt like only doing one at the moment, not wanting to go any further than a bit of training. Now, Wind or Earth release, both quite powerful. Wind release had more abilities though, was mainly used for an offense, by either cutting through opponents or pushing them away, possibly even pulling them towards the user. And then earth could have been both defensive and offensive, trapping the target, or crushing them.




He decided on the more offensive nature release known as Wind release. Yes, that would be rather perfect at the moment. At the moment Kino was only concerned for power, power to protect himself and what little of a family he had left. He began to recall how the Academy taught the students on how to tell what their nature affinity was, chakra paper, or something similar sounding. They used paper, which could hold the chakra of the user, and tell what their element is. If they had fire release, as Kino did, it would burn. Thinking back, his version of academy was his father teaching him, he often had classmates, due to more and more people wanting to learn the art of the shinobi however they were too old to enter the academy. Anyways, if it was Fire release, it would burn, wind release, a large cut would appear in the paper, water would make the paper completely wet, as if it had been drowned in a lake then pulled out. Earth release made the paper crumble up, and Lightning release made the paper slightly wrinkled. Kino's burnt, signaling the fact that he had fire release, as most Uchiha did. He wondered though, he had no paper on him, but there were quite a few tree's with leaves on them he could practice with, he wondered if he could use leaves as a replacement to the paper. He took a leaf from the branch he sat upon, then put it between his two hands, the palms of the hands facing at the leaf. The leaf was covered, invisible from view. He began to store some chakra within the leaf, hoping it would burn. he smelt something, something weird. He hadn't smelt this for a while, the smell of a fire, he looked down at his hands and noticed smoke coming out between the cracks between his fingers. He released the leaf, and threw it away, no fire being started, the leaf was burnt however not too badly, not bad enough to start a fire neither now nor never. He sighed, simply looking at another group of leaves, he now knew he could use the leaves for wind release training. He took another one, and began to store chakra into it, attempting to cut the leaf. He smelt the burning smell once more, he tossed the leaf, another one not capable of starting fires, however this one was a failure, it wasn't cut but burnt instead. He took another leaf, the wind blew gently, the sun in the sky was sending it's rays down upon the earth, it seemed peaceful, for one day in Kino's life.




He held the leaf in front of his face, he hadn't yet destroyed the leaf using his chakra, he was enjoying the peaceful day. It has been a while since Kino had taken a day off to relax, destiny didn't seem to enjoy that need of human beings, instead it had them wage war against each other. At least, the shinobi anyways. he stopped to wonder, after getting his sister and finding a new home, what would he do? He has no reason to go fight, he has no life, now, and he wont have one in the future it would seem. He had no purpose, at all. He was just a shinobi, a missing nin, who is born to be hunted down by enemies, ninja from villages, he would be dragging his sister into this life, he sighs once more, having not though about that he wondered of the consenquences, he was training to be more powerful, to protect himself from those who would hunt him and his sister, though would that be enough? What if they send an army of Jounin, would he be able to stop them himself? No, even with the help of his sister he would have trouble when it's one to an army in a battle. He sighed, putting the leaf in between his hands, storing chakra.



He had heard a rip, he pulled his hands apart, the leaf remaining in his right hand, which had been on the bottom of the two. There was a small tear in the leaf, though it was minor, not even half the leaf had been cut. He sighed, this would be tough. He released the leaf to flow with the breeze of the wind, and then grabbed another, putting it between his two hands, then storing chakra once more. He heard the tear, he was wrong. The leaf had been cut in half, he smiled, continuing to do this, he had learned to use wind release.
