Training {Private.}

Kino was heading to the training grounds, one within the village. He had a day full of training planned, after all. He was currently wearing a black, Sleeveless shirt, with dark blue pants which could resemble jeans. He also wore a belt. It's main purpose was storing in projectiles, using a pouch. The pouch was currently holding a single Kunai knife he had gained from Hikarishi, once, in a 'spar', as Kino preferred to call it.



When he arrived at the training grounds, he took note of the weather. It was sunny, very few clouds were in the sky. The ones in the sky were pure white, too. No storms seemed to be coming, and it didn't 'smell' like rain was on it's way. Whenever a storm was near, Kino could pick up a strange smell. He was kind of sure most could. He then took note of the people, very few seemed to be out. Probably because it was still early in the morning. With a sigh, he began thinking of what to do first. {Short.}

Irou was walking along a path with a kunai that was held in his left hand and leon the followed behind him, he was heading for the training grounds where he would start some solo training if nobody was there." Well what a nice day now come on leon we're almost there" Irou was wearing his long dark jacket with dark black pants and finger-less gloves, with his light blue shirt and white gray scarf that was around his neck and his old dusty dark black boots (which was only for training).

After a while Irou arrived tot eh training grounds looking around he saw a guy standing there that seem to appear taking notes..."Well hello the name is Irou and this is my cub lion leon, what's your name is?" Irou asked taking a few steps over to the left with a tight grip on his kunai.
Irou was approximately three meters away from the boy and a four meter diagonal positioning he there waiting for the boy reply.

He began to wait, continuing to wonder. Soon enough he heard and introduction, a boy named Irou had introduced himself. Kino looked over at him, he was about three meters away, more or less, slightly more or less. A few inches difference, perhaps. The child was too close. Kino dashed back five more meters, and then stood a total of 20, more, rather than less, feet away from the boy named 'Irou.' "Hello there, Irou, Leon." Kino said, in reply to the introduction. Kino took note of the Kunai, and began to become cautious. Even though the Kunai was a distance away from him, in the boy's hand under a tight grip, a shinobi could never be too cautious. Though, it didn't seem to be a murder attempt. It was broad daylight, and with the few people around there'd be witnesses. "My name is Kino." He finished. He kept watching the boy, keeping an eye out for any possible hostile movements. He took out his own Kunai knife, and began to hold it in his right hand. He was preparing for either a fight, or a chance to train.

Irou saw the boy hop back a few feet and he heard him say him name was Kino," Well nice to meet you Kino" Irou said as he flip the kunai inside his hand looking at his opponent as he pull out a kunai of his own." Well how about a little training Kino?" Irou asked as a quick wind blew by and Irou got ready for a spar getting into a fighting stance he signal his right arm over by the tree watching as leon walked over there so he wouldn't be in the way of this spar, knowing that Irou showed leon how to fight but Irou had a plan." Hmm... What if I use my lion leon to only attack when Kino least expected, WAIT YES I GOT IT I'M JUST GOING TO USE LEON TO ATTACK THE BOY WHEN EVER HE IS COMING AT ME!!!! but until then leon will be staying under the tree until I re-signal him to come back and attack, now that I got my plan ready it's time to start this spar" Irou thought inside his mind as he hop back holding the kunai by the ring.

"Okay here goes nothing it seem that I'm going to be fighting a real good opponent and Kino seem to be really smart" Irou said looking at the boy," Okay let's get this party started I'm ready when you are Kino!" Irou said as he stood there still in his fighting stance ready for the boy to attack but although Irou wanted to make the first attack but "since" Irou asked for the boy is he wanted to train it appears Kino had to make the first move.

Irou asked for a spar, after saying it was nice to meet Kino. "Sure, I suppose. I've got nothing to do, after all." he said, though began to wonder. What rank was the boy? "Irou, what rank are you?" Kino asked, wondering. If he were to be a Jounin shinobi, like Kino, then perhaps he could keep up. Though a mere genin shinobi may not be as capable. He should really stop determining power through ranks. He sighed, as he gripped his Kunai, wondering what to do first. The lion would be a pest, though, Kino didn't want to drag out Fluffy without knowing it's true strength. He sighed, deciding not to. There was no major risk in not dragging him out, after all. "Alright, let's go." He said in reply to Irou wanting to start this 'party'.


Kino dashed back a bit more, five extra meters away now, he prepared the fight by starting his first attacked. He was performing a series of hand signs. When, and if they were completed, a clone would appear. It would be a solid clone. A shadow clone, as most call it. It was capable of using jutsu, and more. It would appear from a cloud of smoke, which would fade away quickly, revealing the clone should he not have any problems in making it. He watched, the distance between Kino, and his two foes was semi-great. He was at a good distance, enough to where they shouldn't be able to get to Kino too quickly.

Irou heard Kino speak before the spar started," Well my rank is genin, now what is your rank?" Irou asked looking at the boy hop back once more preforming something the had white smoke around it that clear up slowly," Well that is a good way for starting off thing now it's my turn I suppose" Irou said a he flip the kunai by the ring and he took off running heading for Kino direction , hopping into the air Irou saw what have been two figures landing on the left side of both of them they seem to look the same so from Irou noticing this thing from a spar with itami Irou knew that was a clone.
"Okay now this is one of the rough situations but this is half of the crap I have to put up with in my life" Irou said as he put a tighter grip on the kunai and he took off running heading for the Kino that appeared with white smoke," Okay here goes nothing" Irou said with a smile on his face as he threw the kunai at the cloned Kino neck then he turn to the real Kino looking at him," Now you really think that clone game was going to work on me? hell no it wasn't" Irou then ran at the real Kino aiming a kick for Kino stomach.

Irou thought that will do a little damage to the real Kino, but since the other one was cloned Irou doubt he had a chance to dodge the kunai that was coming for his neck.


(I hope my post sounds legit but if you see a problem PM me and I'll fix it :))

Kino watched, the boy flipped the Kunai. Irou continued to hold it after, as his grip had seemed to have grown tighter after a small speech. "By the way," Kino said. "I'm a Jounin." He said, answering Irou's earlier question. He noticed the boy beginning to dash forward now, at Kino. If this was his full speed, he was quite advanced for a genin shinobi. Kino grinned though, no where near the speed of himself. The clone began to run forward itself, then Kino, as well as the clone, noticed something. The clone wasn't moving at full speed, yet. When Irou threw the Kunai knife, then it went at full speed. Vanishing in a blur, moving to the right, to avoid the thrown Kunai knife. The Kunai flew past, at the same time as the clone dodging, Kino, the original, had thrown a Kunai knife at Irou, who was no charging for the real Kino. He was probably aiming to harm Kino using Taijutsu, Kino, who was still a few meters away, would simply wait, after performing the substitution technique. He remained there, in the spot where he performed the jutsu, in appearance, however had moved quite the few meters away from his original spot.

Irou saw how the clone dodge his kunai and Kino dodge the kick but noticing how Kino threw a kunai his own," How easy this can be" Irou notice how fast the kunai was moving at him, so he took the easy way out leaping to the right he dodge the boy attack looking at the kunai that was on the ground Irou quickly stood up and he took off running heading for the kunai that was on the ground.
Once he arrived over to the kunai Irou pick it up and he flip it inside his hand," So far so good now it's time to call in leon I must say" Irou thought inside his mind as he place his index finger and thumb inside his mouth then he blew making a whistle sound. He saw leon coming after he made to the right side of Irou. Looking up to Kino Irou then kneel to the ground to leon," Now I need you to attack Kino bite him in a place where it would hurt maybe his left leg" Irou whisper into leon's ear and he saw how his lion cub took off heading for Kino."Good Now you must fight my lion Kino but also fight me this is wonderful" Irou then took off running behind leon and Irou hop into the air landing behind Kino.Irou held the kunai by the ring and he looked up to Kino." This guy isn't ready knowing he is jounin which is cool cause knowing this is Irou first fight with jounin he thought it will be much better than this but since he is better than me I don't want him to go all out anyway cause all that going to do is get me kill which I don't want so let's just get this a taijutsu battle for now but if he decide to start using powerful jutsus then I can only compete for a while" Irou thought inside his mind once again then he threw his left arm around Kino's neck Irou held the Kunai by his throat.
But the worse thing Kino had a clone on his side that he didn't have to control and both of the attacks was coming at the real Kino but no attacks was for the cloned Kino which was an easy way out for Kino ether way Irou will be putting his self in a danger position from trying to put the kunai by his neck,But it appears the boy could make a smart move to dodge both of Irou's attack's with leon and the kunai Irou was "attempting" to put by the boy neck. "I should have did something to Kino clone" Irou said inside his mind ready for a fight with Kino.

Kino watched a few meters away from his clone, Irou apparently wanted to use his lion cub to attack now. Kino began to perform some hand seals as Irou whispered to his lion named Leon. He slammed his palm on the ground, and lo, a dog appeared. It stood at three feet tall, and bared it's razor sharp fangs towards Kino. "You dare summon me at such a time?! I had just found a nice fire hydrant.." Fluffy said, as it looked over towards Irou and the lion. "Is he really presenting so much of a challenge?.." Fluffy whispered, and glared at the two. "No, not really. I just need you to strike some fear into them, really. Summoned you simply to show off." Kino said, in a whispered, hushed tone. With the distance, about ten meters away, Irou shouldn't be capable of hearing. He then noticed Irou beginning to talk, he stated that he would have to fight Leon now. Kino sighed as the two charged, Irou right behind Leon. The beast, Fluffy, growled a bit, a simple warning, if nothing happened Leon would possibly continue and Irou would jump into the air, and attempt landing behind Kino. If he was successful doing this, Kino's clone would deal with Irou. Fluffy would simply scare Leon, the two were about five meters apart, and Fluffy's speed was even greater than Kino's, so dodging should Leon prove to be a problem would be no sweat. Kino noticed something, though. Instead of Irou jumping far enough from behind Kino to where his clone could easily deal with him, he instead attempted to wrap his arm around Kino's head. A simple situation, Kino's clone simply dashed for Irou, attempting to wrap it's arm around the boy's neck, at the same time, Kino would be dashing away, nothing more than a blur in the child's vision, the both of them.

Irou saw how a huge thing appeared in front of his cub lion," LEON GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Irou scream but the beast wasn't doing nothing. Not noticing Kino clone grabbing him from behind by his neck," Let me go you stupid thing" Irou said as he used his momentum to move the clone arm from his neck, hopping to the left side Irou got a better view at kino beast and Kino clone," Okay this is a huge situation but damn I can't give up now I came to far" Irou said to his self then he took off running for the clone with the kunai that was hanging from the ring by Irou's left hand index finger.
Hopping up into the air Irou aim the kunai for Kino clone head this will end the clone once in for all!
After the kunai shot out of Irou's hand he landed to the ground on the right side of the beast the kino spawn." Okay Kino you really can spawn a lot of crap I tell you what" Irou said with a smile on his face as he looked up to the beast not noticing what he was going up against but today Irou had to fight three people while using taijutsu which was a really hard situation cause Irou was really trying to not to use his higher ranked jutsus but he had to do something so he can come out this spar with a win.

But it seems today Kino was going to win," Okay Kino I give up you is way better than me and I don't know how long I can put up a fight with just using taijutsu and a damn kunai so yeah you can take this one home but next time we meet I'll be ready for you. By the way nice job you is really awesome Kino".

Irou said as he looked up to the beast "Okay dude you can calm down now!" Irou said with a smile on his face as he walked over to leon kneeling down to the ground Irou pick him up," You okay buddy everything is safe now".

Turning back to look at his opponents," Well see you guyz when ever I see ya, not gonna worry about the kunai you can keep it Kino well maybe yo clone" Irou said with a giggle as he walked away heading for the ramen shop where he would get something to eat and think about what made him quit the spar so early? why did he let Kino win? and why Irou never even tried to put up a much stronger fight instead of trying to use taijutsu and make shit easy?

But everything went by legit today Irou was able to make it to his own destination and Kino just do what ever he wants.
