Homecoming.[P]

Samuru hears her words, the boy still cold and shivering but he thinks on this, there is only one reason she would be out here, his uncle needs to be with her and using her to lure him out. Sliding his arms up and down on his arms he breaths in and out to try and warm himself, his right hand swiftly leaving his side to make the half fire seal at his lips causing a stream of fire to leave them hitting the "cave" wall which warms up the zone and the boy, just making him sit there soggy as he tries to hide still, not so easily fooled by his little sister, or his uncle.

Ashie feeling the pat on her hand from something small would turn and see the little creature on her uncle's hand smile before disappearing! Looking around for it her eyes would hone in on something weird. It was this bright form of charka beneath the ground. Looking back towards the lake she would think to herself before facing back towards her uncle and letting go of his hand to make a sign in front of her before feeling the air around her head compress and she would sprint towards the lake and once she got to the edge would swan dive in and turn seeing a whole for what looks like would be a cave.

Breathing calmly in her air bubble she would swim in and notice the bright form is growing closer, seeing a surface that looked like a small opening she would emerge from the water inhaling air before seeing her brother huddled in the corner, pulling herself out she would crawl towards him, "Big brother??"

Echo watches as the tiny girl dashes towards the lake and crosses his arms, his instincts too catching the large chakra signal that represents his Nephews larger then normal reserves...as to be expected of a Jinchuuriki.
Sliding his hands into his pockets and humming a jaunty tune to himself as he steps over the area where he assumes his Nephew is.
His right foot slides over the area and he shifts it slightly grinding it into the dirt, he then smirks as wind chakra begins swirling downwards from his foot mulching the ground beneath him and slowly lowering Echo into the cave where Samuru is resting, Echo casually pulling out his goggles and sliding them on as Chamo crawls into the Jinchuuriki's shirt to shield itself from the mulched earth being flung upwards.

If all goes as planned Echo lands in the cave his Nephew is hiding out in, he chuckles once before he leans against the wall and crosses his arms over his chest his smirk widening.

The boy feels the rumbling of the earth, his sister now visible, Samuru cursing to himself that he has been found; he should of kept running. There is no point in fleeing at this point as his uncle now comes in through the ceiling, light filling the cave as he sighs, the wind however coming off his uncle causes his form to shiver greatly, Samuru's teeth chattering as he talks. "O-ok if your g-gonna hit me then d-do it alr-readdy!" The boy says, even in this state not giving giving up and submitting, one of his best yet worst traits cause his drive to never give up tend to get him in trouble with his superiors, his arrogance not helping that fact in the slightest.

Ashie upon a few inches away from his brother would notice his uncle drilling into the ground and hearing her brother's would frown and block her brother from her uncle's sight and like her familiar has done to her before would let out a hiss. A hiss of warning that if he harm's her brother she would do everything in her power to protect him. Holding her palm in front of her like her mother would getting ready for a strike if he was truly that abusive.

She was also trembling both from fear and the cold of the cave. Looking back at her brother she would feel so bad that he felt like he really had to run and almost freeze himself to death then to come home.

Echo's jovial expression vanishes and a scowl appears upon his face at the show of challenge from the young Kit, he approves of her defending her Brother but raising her hand to him in challenge is something he needs to show her is bad.
Uncrossing his arms he stands from the wall and focuses a glare towards the pair a deep guttural growl erupting from the back of his throat as the image of a snarling Alpha wolf appears behind Echo.

"Samuru, inform your sister what happens when you challenge your Uncle." He explains as his power illuminates the cave the flames caused by Samuru expanding with the addition of Echo's wind causing the cave to become warmer, intentionally drying the children since they looked cold, of course he's also spreading the fear of him burning them alive....but again...these two are Children of his Brother...the only way they'll listen to him is if he shows he's that much stronger then them....Gods don't defer to mortals after all.

Samuru views his sisters actions, stupidity to stand against his uncle but it shows how much she cares for him if she is willing to stand against the unknown for him. He hears his uncles threatening words, the boys eyes narrow a bit as he stands up, stepping forward he makes an attempt at putting his right hand on his sisters left shoulder and pulling her back so he can take the lead. Through all of this Samuru is still the big brother, he isn't gonna let his sister defend him, he doubts however that his uncle would hurt her, and anticipates this as a fear tactic. The time for games is over, for the sake of his sister he has to handle this situation. Samuru sighs, smirking a bit towards his uncle. "Well if we challenged him alone, he would most likely whoop our asses all the way into next week. But I don't know uncle, my sister is pretty good so with her help we might just take your old ass." The boy says playfully, still keeping his balls in the situation, but also defusing it hopefully with this playful challenge, his smirk trying to express such.

Following the brief silence he speaks again, "Now, let's get out of this cave, I heard Ashie promise food and I'm cashing in on it, bait or not." Samuru has his hands move behind his head, lacing over them as he makes his way to the cave wall, walking up it with tree climbing and taking the lead in both their journey and the situation, something that might no doubt throw his uncle off since he was just running moments prior from being punished, now he acts as if he doesn't have a care in the world. The boys form thanks to his uncle is dry, but the small burn spots still visible on his skin which is slowly mending itself, he cannot wait to whoop his fathers ass so this stops happening and this power is fully his.

Ashie's face remains unamused. Her uncle doesn't understand that if she ran away every time she is outnumbered or overpowered that would make her nothing more than a coward. Hearing her brother's words doesn't defuse her nerves, but it does allow her palm to drop. Keeping her stare on her uncle she stays in her spot the tense air is still surrounding her.

She didn't care how in charge her uncle felt, the small princess seemed to emit her own powerful aura, twitching  she would inhale a deep breath and exhale. She did not feel like worsening her injury, she still had to go home and clean out the gash on her nose. Trying to help the situation defuse the would open her eyes and look at her uncle before saying warily, "If you wish to have a good meal for once Uncle, I do make a lot for Samuru's appetite anyway."

Staring sideways at her brother she would think 'glutton...' But she digresses and looks up feeling so week yet again she would give a small growl of anger before jumping up to grab the edge of the hole to begin climbing upwards to the land.

Echo inwardly nods in approval at the small show of will from his charges, however outside his Mangekyo sharingan begins to spin and he closes his eyes to hide the mischievous twinkle in them.
"You're grounded young lady." He states calmly crossing his arms over his chest and opening his eyes as she steps past him. "Two weeks, training and missions only, and no dessert, you won't be cooking either." He states with a firm nod of his head before his gaze drifts to Samuru "And you, no Manga and no dessert for Two weeks, win the Exams? I'll suspend your sentences when I take you two out to celebrate." He states before waving his hand in a gesture for them to follow Chamo on his shoulder narrowing his eyes and pointing at the two in a stern manner as he rockets upwards out of the hole.

The boy as he exits the hole hear his uncles words, he does not take them seriously since he is rarely around anymore, he will find his time to read, and he can do without ice cream. Do Doujin's count as Manga? The boy questions himself, making his way towards the village, he ran a hella long way for no damn reason if that was all, his uncle has crap for punishments, him winning the Chuunin exams would lift such which he intended on doing anyways. Samuru viewed the other fights and it seems he will be up against a puppet master from uncle Koroshi's village, his chakra resonated from his puppets which is indeed interesting, this will be one hell of a battle. The boy however continues on his way towards the house, taking the lead, his hands lacing behind his head with his burn wounds healing casually. The boy even going so far as to whistle as he heads home, waiting on his uncle and sister to catch up.
