Seeking a Sensei

Yorice would walk into the Leaders building and walked up to the door, he would give a hard knock on the door and would slide his hands into his pockets, he waited for the door to open up, he was wanting to see the leader for a personal requeast made earlier, maybe the leader will make good

The knocking rang through out the office building.  The hour was late, and many of the villagers would be sleeping.  However the candles burned late in the offices that held the information on all the ninja of Yukigakure.  Indeed the windows would illuminate the street below, the ever watching guardian of this village.  As the last of the echos ringed and died down, the door was opened by a blonde woman.  She stood approximately 5'3'' and probably couldn't have weighed more than 50kg.  She was incredibly slender and wore a loose fitting kimono stylized in multiple snow flakes and designed to hold tradition with the winter theme that gripped the land.

She saw who the boy was, and her eyes flickered with recognition.  Though the two had never met, Maku had been expecting a visit from this boy, and as such had briefed all his workers to escort him presently to his office should the boy ever show himself.  "This way master Yorice."  She would say, in a voice like honey.  As she smiled her eyes closed in a cute kind of way, before those emerald eyes reopened to the world to escort the boy to the appropriate room. 

If he followed they would wind through the multiple halls to the top floow where Maku called this world his home.  At the door she would knock a specific number of times with the appropriate pauses.  From within a voice could be heard ushering them inside.  "He is here master."  Is all she would say before her form slithered away, gone into the shadows leaving the boy to stand with a cracked door alone.  If he walked inside he would see Maku sitting on his desk.  The office completely different from what it had been only a fortnight before.

The small table and poofs were gone, and the incense had ran dry.  Instead the ground was plastered with paper after paper, the monotony of the view only broken with an ancient tome here and there.  All though the order appeared random, anyone who had found themselves in the intense throws of an obsession would recognize the pattern of finding something specific.  A giant oaken desk now was against the opposite wall, and on it sat Maku Jemuzu, leader of Yukigakure no Sato, the Right hand of the great Echo Uchiha, and the self proclaimed most powerful genjutsu user in existance, the boy who left his post, and a missing ninja and criminal.  All these titles meant little to the man who sat on that table.  Bags under his eyes, but still a smile on his face he looked up at Yorice.

"Welcome, please have a seat."  He would say patting a patch of desk next to him, there was plenty of room the desk was masive.  He also reached back and pulled up some sort of drink in a bottle that fizzed when opened.  He took a drink and handed Yorice one as well.  This was assuming he took the leaders invitation to sit on the desk of course.  Without further conversation, Maku went ahead and stayed direct. "What is it I can help you with?"

Yorice would look at the blonde a little crazily as she said his name, how she knew who he was was beyond him as they never met, but seems you just never know with this leader, so he would follow her when ushered to, and would steal a quick glance down her backside, noteing the back part of the kimono, and then when he was lead to Maku he noticed the mess the office seemed to have become, and he would look to the leader with his head tilted, was his leader looking for something?, Yorice would never now, and proboly never understand his leader, he would walk in and towards maku, then took the drink he was offered and sip it a little bit, this may be a long talk, so savor the drink for as long as possible, then he would take a seat he was offered and would begin his request as soon as the question was asked.

"Sir as you may recall, our last talk, you said I may come to you for training, and I was wondering if you would just be my over all Sensei, I know you have alot on your plate being a leader and all, but I see no one else in this village as powerful as you, and I wont lie, I like power, Power is good to protect the ones you like, and even love, If you say no I would understand, but I cant promise I would give up immediatly on you sir" Ice thought on his words only after he spoke them, he may have been a bit rough or pushy, but Ice only spoke his mind, and he was rough to everyone like this, but he had learned how to care for his village and fellow village members, he has gained the desire to protect them.

Scanning the papers all the formulas and the like where starting to run together.  It was no easy thing to invent a new way to channel chakra, and thus create a signature style that no one could copy or had ever even seen for that matter.  Maku had had enough being a regular ninja, no now was the time to make discoveries and push chakra to the next level.  He was meant for great things, and he would bring it to fruition.  His encounter with his leader Echo had left him wanting to grow, and rival his masters power eventually, and it all started here.  Taking in a great drink, he continued to consider what he saw.  He would need more time, he would need more energy, and he would need a sandwich soon.

He listened lazily to Yorice as he spoke.  It was odd most people only ever wanted to train with that traitor Kira, it was not often he got such a straightforward answer.  Sure people wanted to learn from him, and get stronger, but this boy was a tad more direct and Maku could respect that.  However did he have time to take on an apprentice, did he have the right amount of patience and teaching skill.  However the most important question, was did he even want to.  He was still so young, teaching someone had never really occurred to him.  His missions would increase in danger and the death count would rise soon, could he really handle watching this kid as well.

"Yorice, never call me sensei, my name is Maku Jemuzu, I will be referred to as Sakkaku of the Burning Sky when we are outside of these walls.  I suppose I can spare about 2% of my brain to teach you a couple things here and there.  Now what is it specifically you wish to learn from me?"

Maku hadn't planned on saying yes, but another pair of eyes could always be useful especially when those were the yes of an Uchiha.  If the boy showed himself useful he would be reworded more than any other of these ninjas could imagine.  He would also face more perilous risk than any of the others.  Maku doubted he would live to see his next birthday, but such was the risk of greatness.  Your life may end prematurely, but your name will live forever if you can become a legend.

"Well Sir, AS I recall, you only stated Genjutsu and Space Time jutsu, I would like to start with Space time, eventually, but you never told me what Elements you have at your beckon call, If you can, I would like to know the full extent of my options" Yorice would sit a little straighter with the answer that Maku gave, he also added in "And I could help run errands for you to help free up your time sir" hoping this would seal the deal on getting a teacher.

Looking at this boy he listened.  He didn't even remember telling him any of that.  His mania was reaching new levels in the research and anticipation for what he was about to create.  If only he had more time, and less distractions.  He also needed Kiranomo and Youka Tau to return to their respective places.  He sighed, so much to do and so little time to do it all in.  Most of all he had no urge to do much of anything besides working on the files that littered the floor.  Looking at the boy he spoke

"Elements, I don't use elements.  And when I am done with this project I will not need any elements to augment my abilities.  I plan to leave this physical plane behind in time.  I will no longer require the elements to assist me, instead my power draws from here."  He would say pounding his chest.  "As for my specialties, I am proficient in Space/Time chakra and Genjutsu.  Those are my most powerful abilities, and what I have denoted the most study to. What goals do you want to gain from Space/Time.  And don't say something lame like more power.  Specifically what do you hope to be able to accomplish?

Yorice would sit there and watch the expressions on maku's face and then when the leader spoke he nodded and then with the question he would reply with "Sir Space/time, according to my studies from the academy, has many useful purposes, on of which to note, but not nessisarily aiming for, is phasing in and out of time, and even teleporting, what I wish to know is the secrets of how it is done, so I may utilize the knowledge to either make my own jutsu, or even have the knowledge of the weakness's of the jutsu style to exploit, its all simply for my own personal gain, and if I am to be your understudy, then it would benifit you aswell sir" Yorice would then relax a little and take a deep breath as he awaited yet another reply from Maku.

"Well teleportation is something I can help you with."  Maku would say before performing two hand signs and instantly appearing across the room to rearrange some papers.  HE attempted to organize the chaos that only made since to him.  Walking back he sat back on the desk.  "Here is your first test to see if your worthy.  Go forth and create a jutsu to call your own.  It doesn't have to be anything to fancy, but work at it.  If you can do that and show me it is something worth using we will continue with your training, and I will begin teaching you my blink jutsu for teleportation.  Possibly even my strongest Space/Time attack jutsu if I am really impressed."

He wanted the boy to have something to call his own and to be proud of.  Besides if he could do it then he would show himself worthy of being taught.  "Also I may have a mission for you, though I need to send a letter first, if I don't hear what I want be ready to leave.  SO be ready at a moments notice."

Yorice would nod to Maku and with a smile said "Thank you sir" and he would stand and bow, then would go running out the door, going full tilt, he would be jumping around people as he ran through the village, making his way to the training fields, thanks to his years in the academy, all the studing he did, he knew how to control his chakra, and how to make a jutsu of his own, he just never did, and then he would be a little out of breath as he arrivaed at the training yard.

((Yorice is Moving to the Training yard))

Maku would stop the boy.  "On second thought I want you to do a job for me right now.  Take Daiyuki to Iwagakure and find a man named Youka.  Daiyuki will know what he looks like.  Once you find him tell him I need to speak with him and to return to Yukigakure.  Finish quickly and earn favor.  I expect you gone within the hour."

He needed this done and he had decided he would just have these two genin do the job.  After all what was the point in being the boss if you couldn't have people work for you.  "Be very respectful sometimes Youka can be a tad........well intense.  I will see you when you return."
