Am I not good enough? [P]

It is after the Chuunin Exams that the boy set off for the forests surrounding the village, if one were to follow the path leading through it they would see a newly made path consisting of knocked down trees, fist marks being seen upon a good amount with the others having a hole blown right through them insisting it was man made. Samuru lies at the "end" of this path, the boy gritting his teeth as he walks onwards, growling as he punches more and more trees. Blindly the boy keeps going forward, running out of trees and hitting an opening before long, the last tree falling forward and crashing against the fresh green grass illuminated by the sun. Lazily looking up the boy sees nothing else to punch and get his frustration out on, a deep inhale is made and is followed by a long exhale. Many thoughts are on the boys mind about the recent exam, the entire round was shit in every way possible, it doesn't even feel like he won, hell it wasn't even worth the victory with how he feels right now.

'Son it's ok, just calm down.' The words of his father flow through his mind, Samuru grits his teeth as he yells out loud, not caring that only he can hear his fathers words. 'Who are you to tell me to calm down?! You cannot even begin to understand how I feel!' Viper's voice is silenced, it seems right now his son will not be pleased by his words. Truth be told Samuru is angry at his family, and himself, angry that for whatever reason he isn't as special as he thought he was. In the beginning he was the son of Viper, the Fourth Hokage, now he has siblings that just makes him part of the group, no longer himself. Thinking more on this angers the boy, what is there to do? Even if he could do the Gentle Fist of his mother, even if he has the raw mastery of fire of his father, it is him using someone elses power, not his own, nothing that he will be known for.

The boy keeps walking, not really looking where he is going, more over in a dazed walk, his hands whom no longer have things to punch are now balled into fists at his side, his cape fluttering in the newly discovered breeze that over takes the rolling hills of this plain.

The little girl upon awakening from her healing daze would notice the nursing sitting beside her to watch over her, but her brother was no where to be seen! Shooting up from her bed with a look of pure terror she would question the older girl. "Where has my brother gone to?!" Moments later the nurse had relayed that her brother was last seen going into the forest outside the village gates. Jumping out of the bed she would rush past a mirror and stop to turn. Her reflection was a site to see...

Her hair was long a layered with her bangs framing her face, blood stained the neck line of her shirt, her complexion was pale and her eyes looked very tired and angry with the silver already making its way into the normal red hue. A band aid would cover the bridge of her nose. Looks like there was a gash there.

Gritting her teeth more worried about her brother she would dart towards the window before pulling it open and jumping out onto the roof of another building and using the side panels to clime her way down. Using her strength and speed she would make her way out of the gates noticing a bunch of broken branches and punch holes in the trees.

A trade mark of her brother it seems. Following it she could feel her heart pounding. Why would he leave her there alone? Was he disappointed in her fighting? Did she let him down? She can't fail her family ever! All she has now, since her twin had gone back to Asgard, was Samuru. Sometimes she just wishes she could become closer to her brother... maybe now was the chance. Seeing his cape fluttering in the bushes she would head towards his position calling out to him. "Samuru onii-sama! Please wait! I want to talk with you!" Hopefully he turns her left hand is reaching out to gently lach onto the edge of his cape feeling her fear and emotions start to bubble within her, she forces it back, Ashie feels like she isn't allowed to show that side to anyone, no even her father.

The boy walks onwards, throughout his dazed state he hears soft crunching of the grass that he dismisses at first, but it comes swifter and swifter, growing louder. The boy does not even really pay much mind to it, not really caring if it was an assassin at this point in time, foolish child thoughts of not caring of their life and thinking of others. The boys attention is drawn however when it is made clear it is no assailant after his life, but his own sister. Following her voice he feels the tug at his cape, his eyes narrowing as he stops. Turning to his right face her his eyes take on their silver state, anger is the dominate emotion visible but if inspected closer his eyes hold much confusion behind him, and several conflicting emotions. Samuru's voice is cold and rushed in a way as he speaks towards her, "What do you want squirt?" He waits for an answer, wanting honestly to just be alone with his thoughts at this point so he does not end any of his bonds.

Ashie would freeze upon seeing her brother's eyes. I guess it's true what some people say, that the eyes are a passage into a person's soul. Ashe's brows would scrunch into confusion and worry seeing all the feelings behind his glare. Hate, Anger, Annoyance, Frustration and more. Trying a more reasonable look she would deactivate her eyes, not needing them to simply be with her blood who would do nothing to hard her intentionally.

Her eyes taking back there shade of red she would look upon her brotherand take a deep breathe to calm her nerves before gathering some courage, "Brother why did you leave me? Did I fight that bad? Do I need to improve more? I didn't mean to hurt your ears if I did, I just thought...you wanted me to fight until the end...I thought you didn't want me to simply give up...Please brother, talk to me? We've only seen each other since we came to this world, but. Tell me everything. I know you have something going on, it's not just...proving ourselves worthy to society as God's children...is it? It's more that that right?" Gasping she would pull her hand away from his cape letting it fall before bringing the same hand to her lips, she rambled, she panicked and probably angered her brother even more.

What if he was disappointed in her? What would she do, her lip would give a quiver as she felt something well up in her eyes, she could feel the heat pool around her eye lids. No, she can't do this now, she hadn't done that since Samuru had fooled her into eating a pebble. She is no child anymore...even if she were five.

Samuru sees the emotions begin to build, hearing her concern and the self blame his gaze lightens, a soft sigh released. His right hand moves towards her, placing it upon his head as he ruffles her hair a bit, smiling slightly. "Calm down squirt, It's not your fault. I'm not mad at you, just myself over things that happened. You fought good and till the end, I'm proud of you for that." Although Samuru feels like shit, his sisters feelings got to him in a way, he doesn't want her to blame herself for the things that happened, he is the one who cannot even compare to the power of his parents, and his uncles. All he has is the Kyuubi within him, and that is his uncles power, so no matter how much he masters it, he is just following in the foot steps of his uncle.

Feeling his head place itself in her hair she blushes and smiles a bit, thankful for the fact that she did nothing wrong. But now a new problem arises, she needs to know what's bothering her brother. Maybe...its all the stress of being the successor?

Looking up at his wrist both her hands would reach up and if her brother allows her to do so, she would grab his hand gently with hers and hold it down in front of them. Looking up at her brother with more concern towards what really is going on.

"Now, can you tell me what's going on? Your my brother, I'm here for you like you are for me! Could you let me know what's going on? I barely get to really have a chance to talk to Father or Uncle! So I want to hear it from you, you don't have to tell me everything. But the root of what's bugging you would help!" She slowly has been taking on the tone of their mother. She backs off a bit and decides that Maybe it would be better to get some answers from their father if he decides not to elaborate further.

Hopefully she doesn't have a blackout, so many mysteries are being held within the heir's of Viper, Ashie has blackouts and apparently acts differently during those periods of time. Otsune fainted on a mission and was taken back to Asgard, and Samuru...is...a bit off. Not even Ashie know's why she blacks out. But she can try to help her brother first.

Truth be told, Samuru would much rather keep this problem to himself and work it out, but now that his sister is involved, he knows she will not leave him alone until he tells her what is wrong, or unless he makes up a good lie on what happened. Feeling her remove his hand he pulls back gently to have it rest at his side if she lets go of it. "I just have things on my mind, just trying to find out what make me, me. I cannot do what father can do in terms of Katon and the realm of Space and Time, nor can I do mothers Taijutsu. You seen the product of what happens when I try." The boys words grow with less and less emotion as he nears the end, it does not take a genius to know that the boy is confused, feeling like he could never succeed his father if he can barely do a handful of jutsu, hell he has to get past his father to fully master the power he has nearly perfected, the Kyuubi. So if he cannot even do the simple Gentle fist, how can he expect to beat his father anytime soon?

Ashie hearing his explanation would smile gently. "Silly big brother, you cannot be father, your Samuru! You already exceed father by being Samuru! Just like I exceed mother because I am Ashie! You think I exceed mom just because I can do the gentle fist? pffffft!" Ashie giggles a bit about to get into how week she is compared to how strong her brother really is.

She can't believe that he is doubting himself now, but he has feelings too. "I haven't even master how to make genjutsu, I can't do fire at all...and all I can do is walk on air!" She feels her new found confidence eating away, but she has to get through to him somehow! "So all I know is I'm exceeding my expectations. That's what I think father really wants, you should always do you best big brother and I think that you have already exceeded father's expectations anyway!"

Smiling at him she would feel her color returning to her face from the loss of blood earlier, hopefully what she just said made a little if not a lot of sense to her big brother.

Samuru hears her words, by the end he lets out a soft chuckle before a light smile forms upon his lips. "If you say so squirt, but don't sell yourself short. You might not be a master at Genjutsu, but even your level almost won you the battle when I channeled my chakra to speed, you took advantage of the situation and that alone shows how your growing." Her words made him feel a bit better, now it is his turn to return the favor since she put herself down trying to get him to smile. Samuru how however delves upon another matter, looking towards her nose that is bandaged up, "So um, how are your injuries healing?" The boy asks, feeling slightly guilty over it, but knowing she honestly did ask for it.

Ashie would blush again and smile, she did go too far pushing her brother for the knock out. "It doesn't hurt, all I remember is you telling me to give up and that's it." She feels so guilty not being able to remember how she got the gash on her nose.

Looking down at her feet she would turn this into a more serious matter, one that is inside each one of the Viper's heirs. "You know...we all have big shoes to fill big brother, and I don't even know If I truly can fill them. I'm getting these weird black outs. I don't know uncle all that well, in fact...I hear him laughing to himself sometimes when I can't sleep. Father just disappears and mother is watching over us." Stopping her speech to look up some form of fire in her eyes, "I just, get so angry, you were born first, but...I feel like a piece of meat! We have to work hard, and you just progressed so fast I felt left behind! That's why I didn't want to go to mom, dad or...our slightly insane uncle."
