A Hard Day's Night [P,NK]

Nero woke up as he did most of the time: his pillow not under his head where it belonged, but on the ground instead, his blanket next to it, instead of being were it belonged to: the bed, again. He was also woken up by the same things as usual: the noise coming through the window from outside the building; the voices of the people on the street, and in addition to the noise, the sunrays shining into Nero's face through the same window. Perhaps his bed was just in the wrong part of the room, and perhaps Nero intended to put it there so he would not fall asleep on days the weather was nice, which was only when there was such a noise outside. The Goka clan leader found days like that quite charming, when in fact it was just too hot in the village. But hey, the only village that Nero has been to except Suna was the volcano village, so, he did not really realise how depressing the weather was. If he ever went to Konoha, he would have found it more revealing than the others, the breezes, and the wind constantly blowing through the forest from between the trees would have been perfect for him.

Anyway. Nero got out of the bed cursing that one window that caused him to wake up every single morning. He went to the bathroom washing his face and getting ready to go out. He had plans that day. He needed to train, realising he hasn't done anything in weeks, and perhaps months. The only trainings he has participated in were with weaker targets, except for that one battle with a rogue ninja out in the plains around the Skyscraper Village. Anyway, Nero got out of the house after some minutes of preparing, grabbing all his equipment with him. After a few seconds of walking, he realised that he did not have somebody to train with. Nero was not the type of guy that would have trainedby himself unless there was a spesific reason. He decided to call his brother Xuro to the training grounds. He was the first one Nero thought of as a sparring friend, of course. "Hey, Xuro." he would have said telepathically, "Want to meet me in the training grounds for a spar or a training ?". By that time, he would have reached at the training grounds, and would have been observing the area. There were not too many ninja that day at that spesific area.

Something would make a cracking sound and the secret doors would open. Through them Kaori would emerge from her laboratory. It seems it was an early morning and she had spent the whole night there. Maybe she should have been worried, but frankly she did not give a single f*ck - it was so god damn interesting she would not have done anything else, not for a few hours of sleep anyway. Surprisingly however, she did not intent... well, she did intend to, but now that she was here the girl did not feel any need to sleep. In fact she was leaning towards taking a walk, stretching her legs, maybe even beating the crap out of somebody at the training grounds... or. Her tongue would slowly move through her lips, as if looking for drugs. If she found someone with a rare ability, maybe a bloodline. Oh, she would steal it! Of course, if she could. Who knows, some of those with abilities are actually pretty strong and she realized that. She would not go on a killing spree, as some psycho. No, her style was more subtle, slow but more rewarding and less risky. Deciding to just go and look around the village, she took what few equipment she had and headed for the door. Once opened, a gust of hot sandy wind would blast into her face. It was a really hot day outside. But she liked hot, the opposite of cold. In this weather she could have taken a sweater and still not sweat a single drop. For some reason heat did not effect her the way cold did. After all, her own blood was fire hot. And so was everyone's else.

After a short stroll she came to the training grounds. On a day like this, the weaker ones would not dare leave the shade so there were fewer people at the grounds. That actually made the Vex female slightly intrigued. There was a good chance she would meet someone actually interesting here. So, instead of continuing her journey, she entered the area and soon noticed someone. Someone who had enough chakra for her to sense without even trying to. And once tried, it would be revealed as the strongest chakra she had encountered so far. The guy was no joke and he smile only widened. Jackpot. There was a mountain of possibilities, if she knew how to play her cards, which she hoped she did. Trying to overpower a person like this would be downright stupid and most likely end in her death before the end of the day, or at least a prison or something of sorts. No, powerful people needed to be respected and she knew that well. Walking up to the Goka clan head, the fact she did not know, the girl tried to evaluate their appearance, among other things. She would not say the man had a real build, he was of a nice shape, but not something you would call muscular. And with chakra like that, who would need it? Now at a distance that would get her noticed, the girl let out a hail. "Hello there. You seem like a strong type, not like the ones who can hardly beat a Genin back there..." She would look to the side and gesture some other crappy looking people training in that direction. Then back at the man and inquire. "Someone like you is probably Jounin ranked, right? Say, are you waiting for someone or would you fancy a spar with me?" Seeing a person like that fight would be quite a lesson. Not to mention a possibility of seeing a new and unknown ability. After all, god knows what a monster like this had up their sleeve.

627 w.

Xuro Bakuton had just woken up to the bright sun lightning passing through his curtainless windows beaming right on his face. He brink of morning appears he stood up and got out of bed staring out at the Sunagakure streets already buzzing with people doing they daily routines. He then got showered and dressed into his usual everyday signature attire. The ninja dressed in white. His lightweight jounin attire was worn on the inside while having his majestic white Brotherhood of Light Cloak worn over him, it being fused with the Hood of Light a new piece of attire Xuro had attacked to his cloak. Made it look even more cooler now. He then tied his head band across his forehead slanted over his left eye allowing his Sharingan implant to remain dormant unless the utmost need be to use it...

He then geared as he was going to out once again on patrols and missions. The usual crap he does everyday. He would have his ninja pouch fully packed with all his handy weaponry and then his eskrima sticks strapped to his waist under his white cloak. He left the house and out into the world...

Just as he existed his house he was startled by a very familiar voice. His comrade his "brother" the other Jounin of Sunagakure Nero of the Goka clan. Xuro had gotten use to the telepathic talk since he had been using it for who knows how long but still this time however it startled Xuro. He hadn't heard from Nero in awhile. He thought maybe the dude was gone somewhere or maybe he was too busy to talk but whatever Xuro was still glad that Nero had organised a training session- something they hadn't done for awhile now...

Xuro as soon as he heard the words of Nero, a grin spread itself across Xuro's face as dust began forming around Xuro's feet. In a flash of white, Xuro blurred away form sight running at top speed towards the training grounds. Just before he would reach the training grounds he would reply to Nero, "Already there ƗƗɐƗƗɐ​​"

He stormed right through the entrance and then headed for Nero's direction seeing him standing there with someone else as well. Xuro stopped just about 7 meters away from Nero. He looked at the other person. It being his student part of their Suna team 2, the mysterious Kaori Vex! Xuro would greet them both respectably with a smile across his face, "Hey Nero! How's it been? Long time no hear no see no telepathic-hear? haha... And hi to you too Kaori, what are you doing here?"

Nero then realised his body felt too weak. "Ugh." Nero answered XUro, "Sorry brother. I... Can not train today. But good luck for you. See you.". He the returned home to rest for a little more bit.

[EXIT, Sorry ._. ]

Surprisingly Nero made a quite exit and left the training grounds saying he can't traiin today. Xuro was still surprised but didn't question his comrades word and would allow him to leave. Xuro would then say to Kaori, "hm Since Nero left imma head off too and go do some solo training. Sorry we'll train again some other time. Xuro would then walk off to an isolated part of the training grounds where he would secretly wrap up his wood release training for Mokuzai. He would place his palm out in front of him and summon the clone of wood by spewing out a chunk of clay on the ground. The clay would sprout up and Éform the body of an identical Xuro. "Now then! Finish up your training." Xuro would tell his clone. The clone would then sit down on the ground next to a tree on his right. He would place his hands upon the tree's thick bark focus his earth & water chakra on to the tree. After a few minutes of concentrating, a small patch of moss would grow on the part of the tree that Mokuzai touched. "Good! Now do that flower thing again" xuro would tell his clone.
The clone nodded and then placed open its palm in front of him and focus its chakra. Again another stem grew this time bigger and more better than the flower he had made the other day. The stem would extend out forming 10 petals a beautiful yellow flower. The clone sighed and wiped his forehead. It had finally done it and had obtained wood release..
Xuro would then de-summon Mokuzai very proud of him and then head out of the training grounds then walked off home. Mokuzai proved to be the most skillful of all his clones because achieving wood release is quite an accomplishment. He would make sure Mokuzai would continue training and learn other wood release techniques that can form trees and even a whole forest....
