A few new tricks

Kaze recalled the earlier events of the day thinking about how odd they were, only to come home and find a note sticking out from the small gap between the double doors of his house. Hopefully it wasn't more work to add to his already long list of chores; Kaze didn't consider cleaning out some lady's house or finding a missing dog a mission. The boy had only gotten maybe three or four hours of sleep and hadn't eaten anything yet and his day was already in full swing. He had only come home to see if his mother was still asleep but seeing that the note was just sitting there it was safe to say she was still in bed so he had no reason to go into the house and wake her, if he couldn't get any rest at least his mother could. Pulling the piece of paper from the crease it was situated in and turned for the exit of Uchiha district.

Now walking on one of the main streets of Konoha Kaze begrudgingly decided it was time he read that note, of course it couldn't be anything truly important honestly he was only a genin, a genin who received petty jobs as excuses for missions a that. Moving on from that the boy opened the note, slowly reading its contents. The note said that all of his daily task would be taken care of by someone else and that he was instead supposed to meet a chuunin at the training grounds to further his abilities. Kaze could do nothing more than let out a sigh of relief, the last thing he wanted to do was waste his day doing task anyone else could do. Now that he knew he wouldn't have tons of work today he figured he had enough time to get something to eat before heading over to the training fields. Looking up at the sky he definitely had time, it was no where near noon, the sun wasn't even halfway to the peak height of its course of travel. A quick bite to eat and then he would be off to train without delay.

Well. Risako may have started on her journey home from this stunning Fox Valley hidden within the forest that also hid Konohagakure. WELL IT DIDN'T DO IT'S JOB TOO WELL. BUT THIS PLACE WAS WELL HIDDEN IT SEEMED. UNLIKE KONOHA, BUT AGAIN.

As I was saying, she may have started her journey home, but she definitely didn't make it out of the valley before she got distracted. Everywhere around her were statues of foxes, some rather dated looking, Sakura trees lined in rows and down the middle of the valley, and not to mention. The view of the sky. It was just, so MMM. The hills were positioned as such that the sun, for the most part, traveled in a straight line over the dip in between them. Right now, it seemed to be around noon, but she had no clock so Risako didn't really know. But, it seemed like a solid guess. Little dens and holes scattered the hillside, presumably, from Risako's studies, for sleeping and raising young. Of course, normal foxes didn't talk, nor did they tend to walk on their hind feet, as these summons were. She knew they shouldn't be called summons, but it was either that, or lump them in with normal foxes, which also seemed wrong. A few were even, rather large. Even for dogs, they were large. 

The worn stone structures that were scattered around also confused her a bit. Mostly because she was confused on how they were built. It seemed more like they moved into a monastery or something along those lines, it was. It just seemed highly unlikely that they could build it. A stone path sat on the bottom of the valley, leading to the large archway gate, where Risako was currently standing. On each hill, there were three more paths, ascending every twenty meters. As previously stated, all the walkways were home to cherry blossom trees. I mean, Konoha had some pretty scenery, but. This. Also dotted along each of the path ways on each side, were some small shack like buildings scattered here and there. 

Risako, against the odds that she angered her hosts, decided to step back in. Maybe, she might be able to learn a few more things about the fox valley. 

Her first thought was to speak to her newest little friend, uh... Risako never learned her summons name. Having already read up and studied the technique enough times to master it, Risako formed the hand seals, and poofed her new companion in front of her, who fell to the ground in a comical yelp. Risako's hand shot to the back of her neck as her little foxy companion stood up and brushed himself off, muttering a string of curses aimed at what might be the only human within several miles. Ignoring the swears and fingers aimed and pointed Risako's way, she interrupted with "So, real quick. Before I head out. What's your name?" Her tone was nice enough, less interested in him and more in the topic, if you catch my drift. 

Akami, the fiery orange fox who's feet, snout, tail, and ears were a shade of black, had already stood off, and aside from the occasional fing- wait. Toe? Aside from when he was flipping her the bird, he was brushing himself off. He hated being covered in dust. So, when he heard her trivial reason for interrupting his daily life, and dropping him at the village gate, he simply said, in an exhausted, fed up tone, "Akami. Need anything else," he put sarcastic emphasis on the next part and shot little finger quotations, "master?" 

Risako wasn't one to ignore snarky talk most of the time, but. This was an exception. She truly felt like a pest, in the home of pests. "I'm sorry for disrupting, I truly am. I would like to know a bit about this place though, if that's no big problem." As she spoke, she'd adjust her body language to seem humble. Her head down (well, since he was only like, barely two feet tall, more so the next part,) barely making eye contact, shoulders slumped, soft tone. The works yo.

Akami, despite being a fox with a ridiculously heavy work schedule that involved lounging around and eating, decided that he did indeed take pride in his valley, and he wouldn't just let this stranger go around it like they owned the place without letting them at least know what they were pretending they owned. "Sure, I'll give you a quick run down." He pointed to the gate that Risako was standing beneath. "First off toots, our trade. Some of the older foxes pride themselves on their fuin handiwork."

The fox wouldn't have stopped, had Risako not butted in with a quick, "I know a few seals my self!" She formed the seal of confrontation, erecting a barrier seal around the two, happy to show off a common interest with the foxes. This gave her hope, that just maybe she'd be able to win over the trust of the older foxes. 

"As I was saying," Akami spoke, shaking his head, "These seals in right here nullify chakra in a sense. So any energy used within the valley just kind of, reverberates in a sense, within the confines of the seal. It helps to keep us hidden." He saw Risako about to ask a question, "No, you're not the first human to find it's way into this place." He put her down quick. Then, under his breath, he spoke, "You're the first to get a summon outta this place though." Akami had mixed feelings, I lied about earlier. He loved and took pride in this place, but, just... After a while, having someone that could call you out to a far away location just, it was just awesome. It was like spontaneous vacation day. "Now scram princess, this ain't that kinda place." Why did this fox talk with an accent that read as if he were from New York? Fuck you that's why.

Risako nodded, deciding that it would be best if she headed back to Konoha. Besides, she had been gone for... what? Three days? It was time to get home. "Then off I go, I thank you for the time you spent." Risako turned on her heel, and started walking off, but, she stopped. Turned again, and said loud enough to be heard, "Any chance you'd like to accompany me on the way home? I still have a few questions, and it'll be some nice bonding time or something." Really, she wanted to know how she was brought three days out from Konoha, when she only traveled for about six hours. Unless, well. He may have meant three days at his own pace, which to Risako, seemed pretty slow. 

"What, can big girl not walk home through the woods on her own? Scared of the big bads? Sure. I'm bored anyway." Akami was a dick of a companion. Risako picked a winner alright.

*********3 day time skip*********

It took what? Another three days to make it back to the village? At least with Akami tagging along, it took a lot longer than if she had just went home by herself. Risako noted that he was, at best, snail paced compared to her. Anyway, when she strolled to the gates of Konoha, unbathed, in dirty clothes, without a headband, and rather rough looking, it took the guard a minute to realized it was the hot headed Akara. But, without so much as a word, the gates were opened so she and her foxy companion could go inside.

Once inside, the almost tribal Akara stepped forward, back into her home. Akami managed to teach her a few things she didn't know about surviving in the wilderness. The academy taught you how to survive, not thrive. Risako figured that alongside the foxes, if she were to be forced out of her home, it wouldn't be so bad, for she knew she could live without it now. 

But, despite not needing Konoha as a means of survival anymore, it was still important in a sentimental kind of way. It was her home, it held her friends, and it provided safety. Speaking of home, Risako felt the great need to head to her home and sleep in a comfortable bed, maybe take a shower.

Having made her way to said dwelling, she opened the door and was quite shocked to find a letter sitting on her table. Risako almost feared opening it, for she knew it was probably an order of some sort that had to be carried out right away. Avoiding it almost, she crept around it, but then gave in as her brain remembered that she couldn't really just avoid work. It might be important after all. Gingerly placing her fingers on it, Risako lifted the folded letter and opened it faster than one could say fast. Quickly her eyes scanned the letter, and alongside her worry, Akami even kind of, ya know. Showed some worry, by saying "Somethin' wrong?"

Happy was the last thing on her list at the moment, especially since she was supposed to be teaching a student something. Well, it wasn't the teaching that was the issue, it was the whole "Lookin' like a hobo with a talking fox," thing. Risako was probably lucky actually, that the date of the letter was stamped on the front. And the date was for today. SO SHE DIDN'T FAIL AT LEAST.

Whatever, Risako skipped the shower and all that. Instead, she just left for the training ground, dirty and all that. Her hair was a bit of a rat's nest, but it was short so it wasn't like super duper apparent. Upon arrival she just stood there with her fox. Good thing the grounds were empty, or else they might have trouble finding each other.

I won't be typing so much after this post XD, prolly like 400-500 each post.]

(So I had typed up a long post and then I accidentally reloaded the page and everything was gone so this is gonna be short.)

After grabbing a quick, like less than ten minutes, bite to eat at one of the numerous restaurants of Konoha, it had at least made a dent in his appetite and he had run into a friend that he hadn't seen in a while. The boy hadn't eaten since noon or so yesterday and could have really used a day full of eating to quench his hunger but he had training to do so he would have to be happy with what he was able to eat. Turning his attention away from his stomach which still was growling even after the three bowls of ramen he had eaten; he focused on what jutsu he would try to learn next. Now that he had learned to use lightning release he could go in that direction or keep it simple and stick with fire until later today when he would have someone to supervise his lightning training. So if he was going to focus on his fire jutsu for the moment, the next question was what jutsu. He had heard of a fire technique that created storm clouds, that could be useful for his lightning release so he would definitely try to learn that one, but there was one other one. It was a technique that was capable of causing large scale damage and was extremely powerful; both of which he would have to look up. Kaze did know he wanted to learn those two techniques for sure, mostly because he had recently heard of them, anything else he could learn would be a plus.

Reaching into his weapons pouch Kaze produced his father's old jutsu book, a book that held information on most known jutsu in the world. As he walked he flipped through it searching for the the two techniques he had on his mind, flipping to the fire jutsu section of the book he found what he was looking for. 'Okay, so it says here that this is a B ranked jutsu and it's called Great Dragon Fire Technique. Hmm, what did Kiyumi say the other one was called, great something.' He could remember but after turning a few more pages his memory was refreshed as he landed on the page containing information on the A ranked Great Fire Annihilation. Looking up he could see that he was now at the training grounds, the grounds were empty except for one person who appeared to be a girl about Kaze's age probably a couple of years older. Her clothes dirty giving the impression she had been training, and her hair was messy at least by her standards; Kaze's white hair was always naturally messy, stylishly spiking in different directions, so he found the girls hair to be perfectly fine minus the dirt. Done taking in the appearance of the girl who was most likely his teacher for the day he started walking towards her giving a friendly smile and wave before speaking, "Hello my name is Kaze, I hope I didn't keep you waiting."

[https://wordcounter.net/ I seriously recommend typing your posts in this. It saves stuff.]

Well. Whether this was the student or not, Risako was about to cram his head full of knowledgisticals. She had hoped this was the student, as the letter said to come to this specific training ground, so. There's that at least. Taking a step and straightening her posture, the used-to-be energetic fifteen year old fox sage gave a quick wave and was rather unsure of exactly what this kid wanted to learn, as a matter of fact she didn't even know his nam-

Well. With his introduction out of the way, she crossed her arms and said rather bluntly, "I'm Risako."  Realizing how rude she sounded, she immediately apologized, sort of. "Sorry for the attitude, I've been out of the village for almost a week, and then as soon as I get home, I find a letter telling me I must train some kid."

Saved, totally. "Anything in particular you need to work on? Jutsu, stuff like that?" A quick pause, before she continued, "Or do you just want to spar and train a bit? Really, it's up to you, just tell me what you need to practice."

[I do so apologize for the low WC this round, just had a 12 hour work shift, and I typed another post before I saw that you had posted >_>, will keep it longer from here on out.]

The girl whose name turned out to be Risako came off a little rude or ill-mannered but after hearing that she had been out of the village nearly an entire week, Kaze gave her a pass. If he had been out of the village for a week he would probably be grumpy as well, especially if he hadn't even had a chance to go home and shower. Well actually he hadn't had more than three hours of sleep last night yet he wasn't in an ill mood, maybe Risako just had a rough time outside of the village. She most likely had to sleep out in the forest or something like that and that couldn't have been fun, but enough about that, she was here to teach him. Plus the boy doubted that it was a good idea to keep the girl too long considering she already wasn't in the best of moods.

"There are a couple of jutsu I had in mind, both of them are fire jutsu. The first is called Great Dragon Fire and I believe the second is Great Fire Annihilation. Two great techniques I hear." Kaze smirked a little at his pun about the names of the techniques. "But while I would like to learn those two I'm open to anything you recommend if you have any recommendations that is. I posses the ability to use fire and lightning release in case you wanted to know." With that Kaze was done talking for now and ready to learn, hopefully Risako's mood would improve or things could end up a little awkward to say the least and then again maybe they wouldn't.

(I apologize for the wait, had a busy end of the week, and sorry for another short post)

With a nod, Risako spoke "Both techniques aren't that difficult. Mostly, they just require making an over sized fireball." At least, that's what the techs boiled down to. Her hands would meet in the tiger hand seal, "First, make a tiger." Second, if the boy knew anything about chakra sensory, he'd feel her chakra begin to swell up and compress into a dense energy. "Then compress your chakra." Then she leaned her head back, and sort of spewed it forth from her mouth like most fire-style technique. The dragon, which was composed of fire and roughly the size of a small house, would go straight into the sky, until it just fizzled out into a small little puff of smoke. "Then just, ya know. Do like most other Katon and spit it out."

If he went to try it out, Risako of course had to tell him, "Start small. Don't over do it. After you do it once, just keep making it grow in size until it can't get any bigger." Hopefully, she wouldn't have to wait too long for the boy to wrap up his stuff. In the meantime, she plopped down and crossed her legs, content with sitting and watching. "If you need anymore help just ask."

[My bad, it didn't give an alert that you had posted XD]

(Once again I apologize for the wait, things have been coming up lately but hopefully I will be able to post regularly from now on. If you'd like I will end the topic on my next post, considering I have kept you tied up for a while now.)

Kaze listened as the black haired girl in front of him began to explain how one of the jutsu worked. As she formed the tiger seal the boy quickly activated his sharingan to allow himself to see every detail of the technique. He could see her chakra building up, and then Risako tilted her head back and simply blew the large dragon shaped fire up into the sky. Her explanation was so much simpler than his friend, Kiyumi's, but that was most likely due to her being able to actually demonstrate sense she possessed the fire element. With the jutsu explained and demonstrated he should be able to quickly learn it without any problems, but he would heed the advice from his teacher from the day and start out on a smaller scale than she had.

First he would deactivate his sharingan, and then begin taking the required steps to perform the technique. Forming the only necessary seal, the tiger seal, he focused his chakra allowing it to build up. With his chakra gathered he recalled Risako saying that he needed to compress it, knowing this he did just what he had been told and compressed it. Next came the last step which like explained earlier is like most other fire techniques where you just spit it out. It reminded him a lot of the great fireball jutsu his father had taught him years ago, his father had always been there for him and once he was killed there was a hole left in Kaze's life that nothing seemed capable of filling. Yet the boy refused to let the misfortune of losing his father hold him back in life, he would continue to pursue his dream as he was now. The tickle of his chakra in the back of his throat shook him from the series of memories he was about to fall into, thankfully he was disturbed considering those past thoughts weren't always cheerful to say the least.  Tilting his head back and exhaling the boy released a dragon head roughly the size of a fireball created from the great fireball technique. Not satisfied with the mediocre size of it he decided to try again this time aiming to create one of rather large proportion. Once again he formed the tiger seal this time gathering a larger amount of chakra, compressing it he tilted his head back once more looking towards the sky and he breathed out the dragon. This time an absolutely massive fire escaped his lips, it was more than double the size of the dragon Risako had expelled up towards the sky. It was absolutely marvelous, well as much as a flaming dragon could be, the flaming beast soared high up into the sky until it disappeared from sight.

Shortly after the sky darkened a bit as thunder clouds slowly rolled in, "So this jutsu really can create storm clouds." The boy thought aloud before turning to face the black haired girl as a slight drizzle began to fall. He offered a sheepish grin while rubbing the back of his head (in typical anime fashion) as the light rain slowly increased into a full on downpour, he quickly slipped his leather jacket off holding it out towards the black haired girl in the fashion of an offering. "Sorry about this, I wouldn't have made it so big if I knew it would cause a storm. Please take my jacket, it should keep you relatively warm and dry." His voice was full of sincerity as he apologized for his blunder because he really had been unintentional; he had been taught by his mother that if he were to make a mistake that he should own up to it and try to make up for it, and always be nice and to remember his manners especially when around strangers. Although he would prefer not to refer to his fellow Konoha ninja as a stranger it was more or less what she was to him. "I'll try to keep this a quick as I can, so you don't have to sit out here much longer. If you'd be so kind as to explain the great fire annihilation technique, I will get to work." The boy would once again offer a sheepish grin hoping to keep Risako from yelling at him if she was upset with the storm being caused by his foolish mistake.

Risako waved her hand, "No need for the jacket." Rain wasn't something that bothered her, not in the slightest. But, she did think his offer was admirable, although she may not have shown it in her face. Which was still rather flat, emotionally. "The next one is even easier, for it requires no shape control." The chuunin stood up, Formed the horse handseal, tilted her head towards the sky, and let loose a wall of fire that Hell would be jealous of. Spanning an entire fifty meters, the blaze would cause the rain that was starting to fall to evaporate into steam, giving the sky above them a misty look. Well, after the fire died down. 

"The biggest part to this technique, is just expelling large amounts of chakra in one push." She scratched her wrist, "Either through training or birth-rite, large amounts of chakra are rather difficult to obtain, so again, like last time, start small. Work your way up as you think you're ready." With that, she'd wait to see if he needed anything else. Oh, and she'd wait to make sure that he had at least the base understanding of the technique. Couldn't just leave him untrained and all that. Of course, had he learned everything, she would leave. 

[attempted exit, I do apologize for the mostly lame posts on my part XD

2255 WC, claiming 11 stats, all wordcount towards mastering the dragon fire tech]

Risako turned down the offer of his jacket, it seemed the rain didn't bother her in the least, maybe she was like Kaze in the way that he actually loved the rain. To him it was calming and he welcomed it whenever it came at least, Konoha wasn't known for rainy weather in truth it was the opposite that occurred more often than not.Moving on from the weather, the young Uchiha boy turned his attention back to the girl in front of him, quickly slipping his jacket back on as she spoke. He listened intently to her short explanation and admired the jutsu as she performed it, the sheer amount of fire was astounding. With her head tilted upward to the sky, Risako had released enough fire to extinguish the rain that had begun to fall leaving only mist where only seconds before there was rain. Once the jutsu was finished the explanation soon followed suit, with the final part being about releasing a large quantity of chakra all at once. It was a little like the last technique but reminded the boy more of the great fireball jutsu he had learned years ago. He was around four or so and it had taken him quiet a while today, back then at such a young age it had always taken him time to learn new jutsu. Luckily now that he was older things only took him a day or two at the longest.

It was funny to Kaze how simple the instructions of Risako had been when he compared them to his friend Kiyumi's. To be fair the black haired girl was able to actually perform the two techniques unlike Kiyumi but even without factoring that in Risako's explanations weren't confusing at all. As he processed the information he had just received his mind thoughts shifted to earlier today, where by chance he had run into his old time friend.

The white haired boy walked through the streets of Konoha once again drawing the stares of many, honestly you would think that at least one person would speak to the boy but no they were completely satisfied with just devouring him with their eyes. Not that he minded at all actually he rather enjoyed the attention but would rather for it to be a little less weird. He was a nice guy and it wasn't like he looked intimidating so he couldn't for the life of him figure our why all of the women or girls that caught a glimpse of him just stared. It was an every day thing and by now you would think he was used to it but you'd be wrong, it something about complete strangers just staring at you like a piece of meat that they want to just... well you get the picture. That's just something that is hard to get used to is all, just speak or something, jeez. 'I wonder what they would do if I just stared back, eh that probably would end up making things worse in all honesty.' He continued walking releasing a slight sigh as he continued his trek through the streets of his home village looking for a place to eat. The problem wasn't really finding a place to eat considering there were restaurants everywhere he looked, he had his pick of the litter and that is where things became difficult. The boy hadn't eaten breakfast seeing that he hadn't really been home other than to change clothes and the other necessities of morning, not to mention he had spent the entire night out training which he would be doing more of tonight. Plus he had been assigned to train today with another shinobi or Konoha, well he would be doing more learning than anything, at least that is what the letter said. There was a bit of time he had to kill before Kaze needed to be at the training grounds, and he planed on spending it eating; although as hungry as he was he would much rather spending the entire day stuffing his face sadly he could not do that and he could most likely use whatever he was taught.

As he walked still unable to decide on where he was going to eat he had an idea, if his eyes couldn't make the decision then surely his nose could. Closing his eyes he slow his pace in order to give his nose time to process the individual scents that wafted through the air, 'Mmmmm, delicious.' He thought as he started to drool a little. Kaze was rather enjoying his blind adventure when he was stopped in his tracks colliding with someone in his path. "Hey why don'tcha watch were you're going buddy?!!!" Slightly startled from the outburst of the stranger he opened his eyes peaking down to see a little blonde girl glaring up at him. Her angry look only lasted few seconds as she too came to recognize who was standing in front of her just as Kaze had. He was pretty sure this was his long time friend Kiyumi; although she did look a little different than he had remembered her that was probably because of the years that had passed since he had last seen her.

"Wait a second, is that you Kaze?" The blonde asked reaching up to examine his face with both hands. "You've gotten pretty cute you know." The boy gave a quick grin after removing the hands of his childhood friend from his face, "It seems you haven't changed Kiyumi." The petite blonde pouted hearing his words once again giving him a glare only this time it was a playful. "What's that supposed to mean anyways... and don't you think I'm pretty?" She really hadn't changed, still the same old Kiyumi. "It meant that you are still exactly how I remember you... minus your looks. For a second there I wasn't sure it was really you, considering how much you've changed." Kiyumi's expression changed for one that held a grin, "And you're still the same yourself." Suddenly her tone got a little bit more serious, "Although I hope you are behaving yourself, considering how good looking you are and all that, no longer that little boy I remember." As Kaze caught on to her meaning his cheeks turned a slight color of pink for just a moment before he regained his composure. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, none of that I'm well behaved no worries." Not wanting the conversation to take a turn down that road he quickly redirected, "So what are you doing back in Konoha, I thought you and your family moved to a smaller village on the outskirts of the Land of Fire." Kiyumi smiled at his question seemingly enjoying their encounter, "Well I'd say that I came to see you or some other sappy excuse, but in reality I was sent here on an errand for my father. As you know he is a blacksmith and he needed some materials that could only be found here, and for some reason he couldn't spare anytime to get them himself so he sent me. Not that I'm complaining I mean if I hadn't been sent out here then I wouldn't have run into you. Although it was an extremely boring trip, seeing you again made up for it, I guess."

The two friends paused their conversation for a moment, only long enough to move out of the middle of the road as they were starting get get a few angry glares from people who had to walk around them. "To think that after all these years you still do that little thing, when you get embarrassed from saying something nice you put that I guess at the end to make it seem like you aren't happy." Kaze gave a soft chuckle as Kiyumi blushed from both embarrassment and excitement that the handsome boy actually was able to remember details that were so specific. "You actually remember that stuff..." Kaze smiled brightly proud of his memory, "Well, of course I do. We were super close back then, like brother and sister back then. Let's see, your favorite color was green, and for some reason you always used to wish your hair was pink instead of blonde because you though you would be cuter that way. Then I'd convince you that you were already really cute and having pink hair wouldn't change that, oh and for some reason you had this odd obsession with having a pet monkey and naming it Banana." He laughed a little at the last part of his sentence, it was a silly thing to want after all. "Those were good times." Kiyumi chimed in before a small bout of silence settled in. "Uhm Kiyumi are you crying?" Kaze asked as he observed the few tears roll down the girls face, "Yes but I'm not sure why, I'm not sad, I'm actually happy." 

"Maybe they are tears of happiness?" He offered placing a hand on the back of his head unsure of what else to say. "Yeah, I think you're right. I guess I'm just really happy that you hadn't forgot about me is all." Kiyumi said as she wiped the tears from her face. "How could I forget someone I had grown so close to, the only thing that stopped that was you moving so far away or I tk things would be just like how they were when we were little kids. But enough of that, you know I don't like to see people cry especially pretty girls like yourself, so let's grab a bite to eat my treat." Offering his arm he waited. His blonde friend accepted his outstretched arm, adding a sarcastic remark along with it. "Well don't you know how to make a girl feel special." She prodded causing Kaze to give a good natured shove with his elbow into her side, "Play nice or I might just pay for myself to eat." Turning her head sharply Kiyumi narrowed her eyes at her handsome friend, "You wouldn't?" Smiling Kaze replied,"I would and we both know it, unluckily for you we've been friends for years and I won't feel bad about afterwards in the least."

The young Uchiha slipped out of his thoughts as easily as he had fallen into them, he had enjoyed seeing Kiyumi again and hoped to catch up with her once more before she left the village. Not that he was back in reality he remembered what he had been doing here, it was his turn to perform the great fire annihilation and after seeing it done he had a pretty good idea of what he needed to do. Forming the horse seal and tilting his head upward just as Risako had, Kaze expelled a wall of fire almost equal to that of the black haired girl in front of him. He definitely had the jutsu learned and he was proud of that. Although now that he had learned the techniques that he wanted to there was no reason for him to keep his fellow shinobi out here any longer. "Well that's all I had planned to learn, and I pretty sure you want to go home and get some rest so thanks for your help maybe we'll meet up again some other time." With that Kaze waved and turned to leave as he would expect Risako to do as well, he truly had appreciated her help. Now he was off to eat again and hopefully get a little rest before his midnight training session.
