Wandering the Borders.

Having wandered outside of the village for the day was wandering the borders. He'd already traveled a little bit away from the village, the reason for him coming out here was due to him wanting to train out here, having woken up too late to beat the crowd to the training grounds he decided he would merely come out here for his training. It had been a little over a week since his Fire Release training, so he was coming out here to train the two jutsu he had decided on. If not both, then he would merely choose one of the two to train for a while, then switch to the other.

He walked wearing his normal attire, a cloth vest colored black with a white short sleeved shirt, and the same black baggy pants he normally wore. Wrapped around his forehead were his two headbands, one was the red one he had gotten from his grandfather, the other, the one more important than the other in terms of wearing it was his Shinobi headband, which, engraved on the plating was the symbol for Kumogakure. He added one more thing, though. Wrapped around his right leg was a pack, which inside was a Kunai knife, which he had assumed he would of needed due to traveling on the borders, as it wasn't as safe as the village itself. Least, so he had heard. He'd never wandered outside of the village, this being his first time he'd figure he should at least come somewhat prepared, what with having only the few basic jutsu, and a Kunai, but he figured his Shinobi headband would make anyone think twice about attacking him.

Near was up early this fine morning. He was in search of someone. He was given a mission by the forefather to further his training and ranks in the missing ninja world to learn more of the world. Near seset his first limit as attack. He waited in the trees all night long for a human to pass him by in the forest. He waited and he waited until he saw his target. A boy with a red headband. It was hard for near to distinguish who this had been. 

The tree leaves hid him from sight but a so hidon't the fact that this boy was of kumo. Drawing his Kunai knife Near would leap from the tree and at the back of the young man. His hand that had his kunai swung at the boy. It was simply to knoc him away and put him on guard.

Kino continued to walk, adjusting looking for a decent spot to train. He was walking around a bunch of trees, wondering if he should train his jutsu here. He began to brush his hair with his hand as he moved towards the forest, with a grin on his face he began to dash, moving about half his true speed, all of the sudden he would hear something, some leaves rustling, he would look up towards the sound noticing a man leaping from the tree tops. He was armed with a Kunai, immediately Kino in response would begin to unsheath his Kunai from the pouch on his leg, as the man dove for him. Kino would block as the man was attacking with his, the two would clash and Kino would dash back, waiting for the man to make another move or to just fuck off, in case he saw the Kumogakure headband and randomly got scared off.

The clashing of the two kunais made a loud noise. As the boy dashed back Near would see his face and freeze. This boy looked like his mother. With his blue eyes and his black hair and the facial expressions he gave off. It was unnerving to attack him once more for it wouldve felt like he was attacking his own mother. As he released his attack stance and put his kunai away he would begin to speak to the boy. "You.... who are you." He said as he would glance at the boy's headband. "Kumo... ninja..." Something was occurring that brought upon his memories and dark hidden away past. This boy he had attacked was more than just a simple boy at this point his name was going to be the turning point.

Having dashed back, waiting for his opponent to make a move, he would notice him just standing there, as if something had happened. His guard remained up, keeping his arm with the Kunai raised in case of a sudden attack from the man, however he just began to speak, asking Kino to identify himself. "Kino. Kino Kyodo." He said, stating his name, wondering why that mattered due to the fact that the two had just engaged in combat, if only for a brief moment he had expected the man to either continue his attack or ditch and run away, having had what appeared to be a sneak attack ruined. But he remained, only presenting an eye brow raising question alongside a statement of his allegiance towards Kumogakure, for now he merely waited further.

Near heard the boy's name. Kino? A strange one. He didn't know how to answer back except with his own name. Turning toward the forest he would say, "I am shinigai.... Im a missing ninja from that village. but not by choice. Until we meet again young man." Near said as he would jump into one of the trees, As he stepped on to the tree branch he would pull out his kunai and throw it in Kino's direction. Had he moved to the left it would strike his right shoulder. As it had been aimed for his left shoulder. He had yet to meet his match, but had this boy been his future rival, then it would be quite the fight.

-Attempted Exit and Attack of a genin for D rank :3

Kino would listen to Shinigai, a nuke-nin who had originated from Kumogakure though had left. While he stated that it wasn't his choice to do so, it would have meant that something most likely had happened. He began to lower his guard as he walked away, however Kino would notice him throwing his Kunai knife towards him. He would side step it, stepping towards the right as it flew past him. After he left, Kino would head back to the village before more shit began, only after picking up the Kunai he had thrown.

{Exit, free Kunai o3o}
