Day to Day Issues(P,IO,NK)

It was one of those casual days again. The sun beating down so closely to the Village they call Suna. Etch found himself wandering around the training grounds. He was getting quite familiar with the Training grounds he was always at. It almost felt out the place was another home of his. A slight breeze in the air, kicking up the sand off the ground which hit agaisnt his gray and blue track sweater, Etch was raring to get started. Lately he's been training by himself, but that day Etch wanted to get to know some of his other Suna ninja and train with them. He had no real agenda today, aside from a few jutsu of course. Etch waited, with his bright yellow eyes, and black curly hair, for someone to pass by with the same intentions he harbored. Etch while waiting was holding up his hand above his head, in hopes of shielding his medium toned skin from becoming weather-beaten.

Huh?? Did this woman really just walk into him, and call HIM a twerp? What type of rude Ninja is she. Etch let out a sigh, this is what he gets for trying to make friends with Suna people. Such a wide range of personalities here, he was beginning to wonder why he tried. 

Still, It was rude to just walk into someone and treat them that way. Does she have no manners? It slightly ticked him off too that someone could be like that. "Hey, you. Watch where you're going!" If anything she was being the twerp here, running into him and going off on him. It wasn't Etch's fault she doesn't pay attention! Forget the nice first impressions, this woman didn't deserve it. " And what the hell are you doing here anyway? No one just decides to aimlessly walk around this area without a reason." Etch was just as curious about the woman as he was frustrated. He was searching for a partner, but sure as hell wasn't expecting this encounter. After his statement he squinted with slight disgust at the redheaded woman, and continued to block off the sun from his face with his arm.

Shamalamalopolis...What the fu- You know what, Etch wasn't even going to question it. He would try to Google it later or something. No but really that word was odd. Either way, this woman was hella sassy, maybe he was being the same but wasn't going to take no crap from some girl he's never seen before. Etch also wondered what her name could even be, but that was beside the case. Etch stood tall and acted casual still holding his arm above his head, looking down at the woman. Though he was slightly pissed off he had to admit to himself his question was dumb, but then again what type of person walks around bumping into people and insulting them? She wanted to play this game? Then Etch was perfectly fine with it.

Etch held a casual posture about him, seeming unfazed by the woman walking up to him so close. What a weirdo, and one he felt no need to be afraid of. Then again, he's learned through his days that appearances aren't everything, so Etch had that launched in his mind as he spoke, half concerned and half sassy. "Sigh. This is really happening right now, i'm getting chewed out by some woman iv'e never met before. Well if you are so unsure about your definition, a training GROUND is a place where people conduct several experiments on perfected there combat capabilities, and being able to be recognized as a stronger opponent in the future." At this point Etch was having fun with this, leaking out a small smirk on his face. It was humorous to him to begin to explain a question in unnecessary detail, and this woman deserved it, at least in his opinion. "Ive never heard however that you're supposed to run into people when you're not paying attention where you can be walking. That's a new activity to do here on these training grounds, you should teach it to me sometime. Hopefully we won't fall in a ditch together." Etch finished off his sentence with slight sarcasm and flirty manners. It was funny to him to be doing all of this, and began to make him crack up. Still, he knew this one was probably a hot head, so he stood his ground and took a few steps back to not catch a knee in the gut.

Oh how cute. She tried to be funny. At this point, he wasn't sure what the woman before him was saying. He wasn't really sure what the point of what she just said was, but it was simply just confusing. Etch made no attempt to try to understand it too much either. He began to scratch his head too, while watching the woman walk away while trying to diss him. He knew this whole fight would get him no where, and he had to begin training. Even though THIS all happened, she was all he had sadly. At the thought of this, Etch made a slight sigh at the utter defeat he had to accept. Though he could of went on for hours, this had to end or else it will only get worse, and he lose his POTENTIAL training partner for good. 

Etch bit his lip on the sad misery he had to face. He did not want to give up to a rude person like this, but he was beginning to take it too far in a sense. Whatever, he had no reason to think about this anymore, the first thing at hand was fixing the broken bridge at hand. He felt like running up to her and grabbing her to stop, but felt like that would only earn him a close examination of her newly painted nails across his face. He decided to stay his distance but yell it out. “ Look, I know the way I acted wasn't the best way to go at it, and I want to apologize for that. However you provoked me, though I was wrong to make the matters worse. I don't expect you to forgive me at all, but at least stick around since you're already here. Hell, we can maybe catch some Ramen together or some shit if you want, I guess.” Etch let out a huge sigh and decided to sit beside a nearby tree, allowing its enriched sandy bark to get on his clothes. He just had a huge ass argument in the sun and got nothing done, Etch wasn't going to probably get chewed out again longer without letting his arm get some rest. Sitting, Etch had his hands to his sides, letting the sand consume them. His legs were also left ajar, and his head tilted upwards, soaking in the peaceful moment. It was odd, for some reason he was calm after all that just happened, and was even considering whether he should get a new outfit or not soon, out of all trivial things. Etch was also trying to get all that just happened in the back of his head, he didn't feel what he did was right, but just let his emotions take over being presented such a mean person out of no where. Oh well though, Etch kept his causal fork like nothing was a issue, preparing for the remarks this rude person was probably going to make. Hell, he basically just gave her fuel to rub it in and be mean, nothing else he can say or do.

Hmmm. Pay for ramen? Hah, Etch would be a gentleman about it all and do so, but he was a broke gentleman. Oh well, she'll learn about that later. Etch really was suprised at how jumpy she became once he apologized, she must of really believed she was right, and felt all high and mighty feeling correct. Whatever, he thought in his head, this shade is too cool to actually care. Etch began to feel a break in sweat from his forehead, it just seemed too hot today to actually stand in that sun. He wanted to train badly, but today just seemed like a off day.

Etch heard the woman say the words about training, and it began to spark him up. Even though he just sat down for a moment, the woman was prepared to battle and he was oh so prepared to kick ass. Even so, Etch needed some time to get up. He only had a brief moment to do so. As she prepared her fighting stance, Etch considered the fact she was secretly holding a grudge and wanting to fight him for it, for the sheer reason that Etch never said anything he remembered that had to do with a spar. She made it up entirely, maybe because she was pissed. That was fine, he felt like punching some teeth in as well. This also made him laugh and become extremely happy, since Etch was in love with fighting. " Alright, I guess I'll take you on. This is going to be hella fun. However, don't promise something you know you can't keep." Etch finished that sentence with a smirk, flashing his yellow eyes. 

It was time to fight this woman....Wait, Etch didn't even know her name. Damn, well thats awkward. Oh well, Etch is just going to have to ask while looking at her on the ground, its clobbering time. At this point Etch wasn't sure where this mutual friendship would be going, even if you can call it a friendship. A minute ago they were yelling at each other, and now the two Suna ninja are sparring. Well, it may seem normal in that context, but it was odd. Etch would decide whether he would try to befriend the woman and look past her rudeness depending on how well she fought. Etch knew the exchange of fist was the best way to understand someone, so he would project his feelings through that as well. Etch now is happy and excited for the fight at hand, even though he is sitting down underneath the shading tree. He began to act on the initiation of battle. He considering attempting the Seal of Confrontation, which would prove to be good practice for the tournament as well. Etch decided to do so, and initiated the Seal after saying " Good luck friend." Etch said the words with a persuading tilting smile, and nothing more. Its time for actionnnnn.

Etch after the words, began to do the clone jutsu whilst sitting down. Ram, Snake, and then tiger. Before him, a clone was summoned, and he made it run directly towards the woman, as fast as it possibly could. She was about 5 meters away at the time. While the clone ran, Etch got up thanks to the support of the tree, and grabbed two shuriken from his weapon pouch. Using the clone as a diversion and to blind the woman from his next attack, Etch threw the shuriken towards the woman and the clone. It would phase through the clone, and produce a chance to hit the woman. Etch wasn't trying to kill or several injure her, just scare. For this reason, he only aimed it towards the outskirts of her skins pathway, to just graze her cutting through. It was going at about 57 speed, building up to it of course. The diversion from the clone would of shielded the shurikens path to the Kunoichi's limbs.
