Kid no more? Kasuga goes back to the basics (Open)

Midday. Kasuga had just woken up after a long night and a long session within the realm of Asgard. His body felt different and he didn't know why. Maybe it was the crapton of alcohol he had ingested or maybe the training he had with both his uncle and father...Either way he did not feel like himself. Slipping from the bed of the apartment that he had asked of his Uncle during his stay, he walked towards the bathroom lightly, feeling as if he had gotten shorter but no one simply gets shorter overnight right? Light taps of his feet continued until he reaches the bathroom the first indication that something was wrong...he couldn't see himself in the mirror...hell he couldn't see the mirror itself.

With his confusing him he went to the only other mirror within the apartment which had been in his room, his feet picking up the pace until slides on the hard wood floor in his room and finally gets a good look at himself. Red hair...Red odd pupiled eyes...something was wrong here. Oh wait! He figured it out as he clapped his hands together and waited...HE HAD JUST BECAME A KID AGAIN!!!! Frantically he looked himself over and over again making sure he wasn't dreaming before yelling about," WHAT THE FUCK HAS THAT MAN DONE TO ME!!! I'M A DAMNED KID AGAIN," the high pitched males voice went off as he ran about the room screaming.

Oddly enough the voice of Erebes, one of which he had not heard since the events of Asgard, had finally spoken up to him," Why are you...Ohhhhh... Yer a kid again? Well...this is embarrassing even for me. By the way I had nothing to do with this. Why would I, The great Demon of Darkness, want to turn my host into a child? Well as funny as this is, you stuck," the voice sounded...odd and off as if he had been affected as well somehow.

The male continued to freak out for a bit more before calming down and slapping himself. A few things still remained like his scar though...as he activated his Kenseigan they took of the combined form of Erebes' possession and his own. Since most of his latent powers still worked to some extent that meant that his body had physically regressed...which meant that yes he had to re go through puberty...great. Sighing he would get dressed, strapping on his Konoha head band and his katana to his back before heading out the single apartment to train.

Though his body had regressed he needed to assure himself that his skills had not. Though he had trained more in his teenage years, the fact that he was smaller meant that he could have potentially been faster... but that had remained to be seen. The odd looks he had been getting for wearing a Konoha head band made him stop and stare at people for a moment before continuing on knowing that they would be speculating that someones child from the leaf had been dumped here...typical adults. As he finally arrived to the training grounds he had been met by a few kids who had begun to question why he had the head band, which to them he looked like an academy student. How to explain to a bunch of kids that he was actually a jounin was beyond him yet he didn't care.

When the kids challenged him to a fight for his head band he shrugged and smiled stepping back from them and allowing them to get a head start, a three on one had seemed fun right? As the first two came up, Kasuga easily dodged their attacks taking their fists into each hand before shoving them back and sliding forward to kick the two in the chest. A straight forward kick followed by a crescent kick sent the two off their feet before they could even see it coming, the third shaking for a moment before throwing a rock at him...bad idea. Before the kid could blink the Katana was drawn, slicing through the rock and pointed at the kid before shaking his head," looks like you all lost...beat it before i get serious," the three running off crying and screaming they would get him back, as if they could try.

With his warm up out of the way he drew a circle into the ground, putting himself in the middle as he began to practice with his sword, shadow fighting with himself as he tried to "teach" his body the movements he knew in his original body.

The day had been very well for Kyofu within Suna, he had just left a house which he was staying at until he officially became a ninja of the village. Of course it was not exactly his home it was being rented to him by a lady who stayed in it, it was used as a Hotel for new folks who came to the village. Luckily for Kyo there was enough room for him to join in for a night or two. He walked around the village carrying a jar that held soil in it with his left hand. Carrying the soil around had became somewhat of a daily routine for him seeing as he needed to unlock the DNA of the Senju that was within himself. He was thankful that Kozai had gave him such a treasure, the two of them had traded a organ for a organ so both of them could experience what they both wanted to experiment. Kozai however was more versed in experimentations than Kyofu himself was, Kyofu was only on the road to become a full blown doctor and scientist.

As he walked on the sand he imagined the attire he had on, with it being a simple black V-Neck shirt, some long leather pants and some black combat boots. His silvery white hair hung and swayed swiftly on his shoulders as he maneuvered throughout the village. With his one Red eye and one Black eye staring ahead he would begin to think about what he wanted to do or what he should do. He had decided that he needed to train a bit seeing as he was within a new village and did not know the strength of most of the villagers and that they may bypass the strength of himself. Deciding to start pouring small amounts of chakra from himself into the jar of soil so he would not tire himself he began to run in the direction of the training grounds which he had remembered from his time there. As he came into the grounds he saw a crowd of some kids going to a smaller one, the smaller one seemed to have a headband. Wanting to see what the commotion was Kyofu slowly walks towards the direction of the crowd. However as soon as he began to walk in the direction the three kids that surrounded the smaller one attacked, however the smaller kid was no pushover and had begun to manhandle all who dared to try and attack him. From his distance of 5 meters away the kid would say "Looks like you all lost beat it before I get serious". Squinting his eyes Kyofu would only look at the smaller figure, as the other kids start running away crying.

He would only stare at the kid as the not drew a circle around himself and start practicing with a sword he held. The kid seemed to look as if he knew how to handle the weapon. Of course Kyofu could not handle a weapon if his lufe depended on it, he was not quite versed in weaponry as others was.

Wiping off the daze the kid had placed on him Kyofu would say "It looks like you are very powerful for a person of your size. Like they say, size does not matter. Especially when you are a ninja. What's your name?" Kyofu would say hoping the kid would not get as quite as shaken from the way Kyofu out of nowhere began saying statements and asking questions.

It looked like the boy was only a mere academy student but Kyo could easily tell that he was of a level much higher. He had seen his fair share of power within his life as well as reading the books so he wouldn't be surprised if the kid was even a Chuunin. He had once read that in the ages before the great volcano eruption there were ninja who became Jounin at the ages of 13. Of course those stories could have only been mere legends that were told by villagers to try and get the young ones to grow stronger. Or maybe the stories might just be true.

The smallest movement...He moved as if he was one with the flow, his hand carrying the blade effortlessly as his body moved on its own, faster and carefully. No longer did his body forget the movements it had once made before, his eyes returning to normal as he continued to swing the blade before hearing a voice in the distance. He could feel the chakra getting closer as he continued to swing the blade before turning on a pivot and pointing the blade at the male," You are?," he didn't know why a stranger had been talking to him at this moment, but if he tried to sneak up on him it would have been bad. Looking over the male he sensed a scent of danger about him, nothing too bad though he would keep to himself what he had been sensing.

More to the point why had the male been asking for his name before even explaining who he was? As he slowly swung the sword absent mindlessly, he would begin to question the male as he sheathed the weapon," So if you're going to ask me my name, at least present yours first, its rude to just come up to a random kid and expect them to answer you when you don't show manners in the first place," yeah that trademark Kasuga attitude remained as he glared at the male with his red eyes.

What was weird that he appeared shortly after he put those kids in his place, though it was in the afternoon so why wouldn't people be here at the training grounds? Not that he didn't mind he was just...confused that this odd person would come up to him and speak...wait was that a jar? Expert eyes honed onto the males hand to see what was actually a jar of dirt. Now if that didn't strike him as weird he didn't know what would. Deciding not to ask about it, he shook his head and went to draw his sword waiting for a response from the male.

As he waited for the boy to answer Kyofu began to think about a scroll he had recently read up on that he had purchased from the shop within inner village. It was a scroll about a clan who was quite powerful, it was said that the clan had no name and that those who were within the clan could use a special kind of power. However, Kyofu could find nothing else about the clan no matter how hard he looked this made him slightly agitated as well as made his brain work harder than before seeing as he didn't like to not know this." You are? " said the boy surprising Kyofu out of his thoughts. Kyofu had not thought about it before but it was quite rude of himself that he upped and asked someone there name without even giving them his own. Staying where he was just incase the boy went arm crazy Kyo would say " My name is Kyofu, but most just call me Kyo. Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot I was only dazed by the way you handled the situation and how you seem to be quite versed in sword fighting". 

He looked at the kid, there was not anything odd about him besides the red hair and red eyes. Though nothing in the world had a set appearance any more like things did in the past. During his life he has seen people of many appearances even cat like people which had truly frightened him. But of course he had gotten used to things if those nature since then. Basically, the mysterious features of all living things made him curious about the world when he was small. That was the spark that made him want to be both a doctor and a scientist. However, coming to Sunagakure he saw that his scientist dreams may be on a pause seeing as this was a peaceful village and he did not want to do anything to disrupt that peace.

Of course he could be a lowkey scientist whenever he wanted to but that would just make him get into even more trouble if he was to get caught. The jar of soil felt cold in his hand as the chakra he was pouring within it was not that much. Deciding that it would be best to stop the chakra flow for a little while, he would put the jar into his left pant's pocket pushing it deep so that when he moved it did not fall out."Sorry if I seem disturbing walking around with that jar, I was only using it for study of new knowledge I had acquired " of course Kyofu was not lying when he said that. He gave the kid half the truth seeing as he did not want nothing or anyone to know the abilities he possessed. He saw that it was best to just be lowkey during his life in the village seeing as being lowkey could make you more stronger in battles.

"Haven't seen someone use a sword before? Boy you must have been raised under a rock if this puts you in a daze," his eyes went away from the male as he unsheathed his sword and begun to twirl it from left to right without thinking of it, his hands moving on their own avoiding his body but slicing the air as if it was nothing. His proficiency with the sword was no laughing matter and the way he held it made im wonder on using more than one type of weapon besides the sword. Thoughts on the matter flooded his mind until he shook his head and pushed them to the side to answer the male," I'll keep your name in consideration. By the way there are people better than I when it comes to this and did it a lot younger than myself. I just know what i'm doing because i've been training for a while," his movements had made a testament to this as he moved from left to right blinking in and out of conscience as he smiled.

Once again he would find himself stopping and looking at the male as the jar was placed in his pockets..Who the living hell did things like this? Its a jar of dirt for crying out loud! Shaking his head he would furrow his brows and shake his head," First off...Why the hell are you putting a jar in your pockets? Know what..Nevermind. Secondly if you want to freaking learn about that then read a damn book instead of being a creeper and carrying a jar around," this time he had jabbed the tip of the blade into the ground causing it to stand upright before shaking his head," You sir are knocked in the head a bit and need a doctor," he didn't care if he was being blunt about it, it was the truth and it needed to be stated before some misconception had became of this.

"Haven't seen someone use a sword before" said the boy, truth be told Kyofu had not seen much weaponry within his life. He seen a few kunai being thrown here and there but nothing more than that, it was quite unfortunate it proved to him that there were many things in the world that he has still yet to see." Boy you must been raised under a rock if this put's you in a daze " said the boy. Looking at the boy Kyofu would say " Not exactly, I just have not seen much weaponry being used in my life other than kunai and shuriken. However I've read pretty much the basics of using a sword". As if on cue the boy started to do some more movement with the sword he held. Still the boy still moved quite fluently with him being the size such as he is," I'll keep your name in consideration. By the way there are people better than I when it comes to this and did it a lot younger than myself. I just know what I'm doing because I've been training for a while" said the boy. 

Kyofu continued to look at the man as his own hands began to fumble with his fingers, he had not moved since he had came to the spot where he stood and he was getting a little frustrated. Something about just standing here did not seem to brighten up Kyofu's day." First off why the hell are you putting a had in your pocket ". Replying Kyo would say " Uhh I was " before being cut off mid sentence by the boy who said never mind." Secondly if you want to freaking learn about that then read a damn book instead of being a creep and carrying around a jar" said the boy after saying a few more hurtful words.

"Uhh I was just trying to understand something with the soil, I didn't know it annoyed people to this point "said Kyofu as he moved the hair away from his left eye with his right hand. Trying to keep the convo from becoming to weird Kyofu would say " So, are you a Suna ninja I don't see a headband ". Of course he was not trying to probe, he himself just felt if the subject was changed. Still he wandered what the boy meant that people were younger than himself training with weapons. The boy looked yo be only a mere child but of course one's appearance had the power to play tricks on the mind and Kyofu knew that.

"He's really not that bright is he? Well a little bright than your child ass, but not brighter than I. Anyways stop playing with your food and do something before i get bored here," the black voice rung in his head as he shook it slowly and returned the sword into the ground. Looking at the male he wondered why this one had been so awe struck by him swinging a weapon. Shaking his head he would laugh just a bit as he heard the male speak," What kind of ninja has never been around a sword? Its becoming a more common thing since people think its apparently cool to swing around this thing without even knowing how or what to do with it. Its not just a weapon it has a soul in a sense, but obvious novices wouldn't understand it now would you?," he wasn't trying to insult the guy, but by base standards it was funny to him.

That whole jar thing was pretty stupid though, as he shook his head he wished he had a book to throw at him,"  Again books were made for a reason. What's there to know about soil? You trying to make a plant or something dude? Like I said there are books that will tell you want you want without looking like a suspicious character. My head band?," his eyes without should he had looked away glanced at the head band on his right arm and then looked back at the male without him noticing before shaking his head," Yeah I'm a Suna Nin and my uncle is the Kazekage himself," though he said this rather sarcastically, he was hiding the fact that half of this statement was true...but which bit?


Standing by his blade he shook his head and continued his further statement," By the way you can't just read a book about swords and think you know about the basics. If you want the fundamentals you pick up an actual blade and use it. So dirt boy," pausing he would pick the blade up and throw it to the male," show me what you apparently know about these swords, be careful though don't want you getting hurt and running to mommy," as he said this he moved his right straight to the side as a small ripple though invisible encompassed his hand as he pulled out another blade, albeit longer than the katana and this one gave off an ominous aura. Waiting for the male to figure out which end of the blade was which he tapped his shoulder with the sheathed blade slowly," So you going to show me what you can do with that or are you going to hold it like your jar of dirt?," an obvious challenge but he needed the warm up just in case.

Kyofu smirked as the boy had got done say his own words leaving Kyofu to respond saying "Where I previously came from I would usually avoid the people who walked around with swords seeing as they were somewhat the guardians of the village. I didn't avoid them because I was a bad ninja but most people who lived within the village frowned upon the studies of training with chakra. That is why only a handful of ninja lived within the village " said Kyofu as his sentence trailed off. He had began to think about the way the boy talked about swords as if they were a lifeform themselves."And the way you talk about swords as if they are alive tells me you are well versed in weaponry. I am sure any who strays into your path would have a formidable foe to face " said Kyofu honestly not trying to make the not feel good about himself. He honestly felt that the boy was strong. He had learned to not base people power off of how tall they were, how old they were, or what they rank was. In this world he had figured out that even ninja at the youngest of ages had the ability to probably even defeat a village leader. But of course that was pure talent and a cause for a whole nother topic.


Taking the jar of soil out of his pocket Kyofu would stretch his arm forward and hold the jar chin height and say " Yes, I see what you mean. Carrying this jar does make me seem senile I suppose " launching the jar of soil backwards with his left hand making it fly over his head and back a few meters he would say "The jar was only for experimental use as I was only pouring my chakra in and out of it to try and speed up the growth of the speed within in it but it seems I an failing in doing that within this excruciating heat and scarce water" said the red eyed ninja as he looked at the kid. Laughing along side the kid when he revealed that he was a Sunagakure ninja and that his uncle was the Kazekage Kyofu would say "I am sorry, my eyes failed to travel upon the headband that is in your arm. Maybe I should heighten my senses more to avoid further confusion" said Kyofu truthfull because every since he had arrived in Suna and became a ninja of the village he has failed to train. It was like he was becoming lazy, in Hoshi there were not days he would go without training seeing as he wanted to get stronger by each passing day. Maybe it was the heated breeze if Sunagakure that kept him from training who knows.

Kyofu saw and heard that the kid said a few words and picked up his sword that was in the ground and throwed it towards Kyofu to catch and use. The sword would flip swiftly through the air making a whistle, as it got within arm's length of Kyofu he would reach out with his right arm straightened as he right hand gripped around the handle of the sword as it pointed end was pointed towards the ground. He would bring the sword closer to himself realising it was a katana. He had read about one of the ways to wield a katan . Getting into the formation he read about with his left for forward knee bent and his right foot backwards legs straightened out and both of his hands holding the Katana as it was pointed into the air left diagonally 3ft across from his face.

Kyofu would ignore what the kid said realising it may just be to unfocus his mind. Choosing not to attack first since he was not versed in weaponry Kyofu would wait until the kid attacked so he could go on defensive mode and get use to the grip and weight that he held with the sword.

Coco with a bit of a wibble wobble in her gallop walked upon the Training field with a mild spark of curiosity plaing across her emerald yes. Back at Kumo she'd met and trained many a interesting people at their practice area and it always proved to be an interesting spot to meet people. Of course there it always seemed that people were just practicing the basics. From her short time in Suna she'd quickly noticed that here the training fields were usually where people sparred which she found interesting. Even more so that the village itself had an arena. It seemed that in the hot sun Hearts burned bright here, and a warriors will had manifested in those who lived under it. Also she used the word 'interesting' three times in a single paragraph which was in and of itself... interesting. 

She'd been hearing about the sparring that had been going around the village from various clones, and was getting a little stir crazy in her house with the babies. So Leaving them in the care of some very nice salamanders she went out into the world to see what there was to behold. Today the chaps sparring were that Guy who helped her with her groceries at the super market. The one with the jar of dirt... aaaand The cutest little red headed Ankle biter coco had ever seen!

With some interest she picked out a nice little spot to watch what she hoped would be a stimulating battle and sat herself down on a picnic planet she had rolled up under her arm. Once seated she opened up a wicker picnic basket and began setting out a nice little snack for herself. She was ready to see what Suna nin were capable of. She hadn't been terrible impressed with Kono, so she was hoping at least one of the major villages had something worth while to offer. Otherwise she'd feel pretty silly for letting Ame be a minor village for so long. 

She wasn't trying to draw any attention, nor was she trying to hide away. She was just sitting out of the way observing the two ninja. She had her bat and Scrolls with her just for the hoot of her, but unfortunately for the boys she wasn't dressed up like a maid... today.

This where he figured that he wouldn't understand odd people, the seven year old's eyes lowering as he shook his head and merely listened, knowing if he had said even the most basic of words he would being to insult the male and he was a kid...so that wasn't kid like. He couldn't help but slowly put his face into the depths of his hand for a moment as he sighed angrily and shook his head," Look guy. I don't know what you mean about being good with any swords, just told you that i wasn't "that" good. I know my philosophies and studies on weapons in general. It helps to know what you are wielding and swinging around," He didn't believe that he needed to go any further into this simply due to the fact that what he did and what he knew was his own business.

So...The kid didn't know basic farming which wasn't too surprising so he simply educated the male on the correct process on such instead of just standing there," See your first mistake was just using chakra...Its a seed...not a miracle. It needs water, which if you were smart and knew chakra basics, then you would know you could form water in combination with the soil or earth in that jar to grow said seed. Instead your just giving the soil another reason to hate you besides the fact that you have inconveniently put it in a jar for your own amusement," Smart kiid was smart, whats more is that he didn't even need to say anything more about it. Speaking of chakra natures, he wondered what he could do with both Water and Lightning. He knew that in the olden times that the village of Kumo had an unique advanced element that allowed them to combine Water and Lightning together, but hey could a kid actually do that? Well he would find out.

With the sword now in the boys hand, Kasuga gripped the sheathed black blade and held it by his left side, which would make his right arm his drawing arm. With the boy taking one of the most old and non efficient sword forms, the kid thought it appropriate to do something funny. Resting his right hand on the hilt, his eyes began to swirl as he closed them, taking on an unique form as he took control of the power of Erebes," Looks like you're using me more eh? Just because you have some control doesn't mean you have it all...remember that you are still my meat sleeve," the demonic voice rang in his head and shrugged and prepared his first move.

His legs spread an even five inches apart, the small male noticed the presence of the female but refused to look as he dashed forward, the sword summoned to him enhancing his body through its bound of darkness with him granting him a faster speed. With a slide to the right the boys right arms would quickly draw the blade aiming to connect with the boys right side though he wasn't going to kill him. Being an even three meters from the boy, the blade itself would be within range to do some damage, minimum would be the boy receiving a rather large cut six inches in length. While he was still going easy, he didn't want it to appear as if was better with weapons as he lead on to be.
