Training With One So Far Removed (Arai, Raizuko)

Arai had been vigorously practicing her Ninjutsu skills, trying to learn how to manipulate wind more fluently and effectively. She was able to create arrows, sure. She could cause wind to dance in between her fingers and form into a semi-solid pike she would use for arrows, but for some reason, it was creating the bow from air that always tripped her up. Dividing her attention and chakra between three sources was frustrating enough, those sources being The bow, the arrow, and her wolven form, always trying to get out, to be free. The dummy which Arai was facing had 3 solid holes in the center where she had struck it with her air arrows. She was going to need to get better at this if she was going to be the best ninja in her clan.

The wind blew through the window of Raizuko's home as his hands were on the panel of his window with his head sticking out of it, he was observing the grounds for ninja who looked like they may have potential. Every since ranking up to Jounin, Raizuko had learned that he needed to help other people. Four years since he had started his ninja journey and his Golden Eye was yet to be awaken. Some Akari took years to awaken and Raizuko knew that was true as he had been trying Four Years. Of course he knew the process of awakening a dormant bloodline would be hard. But he kept trying everyday. His eyes would begin to focus in on a dark haired girl who was manipulating the wind around her. Raizuko figured that she was probably trying to learn a jutsu as she looked to be in thought. Raizuko climb out of his bedroom window attaching his feet to the outside wall as he ran down it and to the training ground whch was roughly 35 meters away from his home.

He would casually walk up to the girl with his Suna Headband reflecting every amiunt of light that came it's way. Beginning to study the girl he saw that she did indeed look quite muscular. Although she only appeared to be the age of 14 not even in the middle of her teen years yet. Raizuko began to look into her eyes, you could tell a lot about someone if you looked into their eyes. In the past if you had looked into Raizuko's eyes you would have only seen pain and sadness. But he had learned how to cover it up with nobody being able to read him. Soon he would stop studying the girl and say "Hello, I see you are training, do you need any help." Of course in these days though ninja rarely wanted help thinking they could do anything and everything by themselves.  Raizuko probably would have been the same way if he had not grown in his generation.

So many strange men approached Arai in the last couple of weeks that she was only slightly surprised that yet another one came and asked to train with her. She should start counting her blessings because she feared she wouldn't have much left before Karma would come around and start to rain on her parade.

"Sure!" She responded, Smiling at his offer. The people in Suna were so kind. It warmed her heart that so many would willingly participate and train with someone they've never met. The boy, however, looked to be much more.... seasoned than the others. Not only could she see it (There were little things on everyone's face that tells their story. Eyes, mouth, nostrils, take your pick), but she could feel the strength he possessed. She didn't need the enhanced senses of her werewolf form to deduce that. He seemed years older than her, maybe two or three. He seemed much bulkier than her, adding to her deduction of him being more seasoned. He was also a couple inches taller and wore a smile that, if you cared to look close enough, was sprinkled with something... some other emotion... Arai didn't want to find out. The boy was  kind enough to ask to train with her and that was good enough.

"My name is Arai Frae!" She greeted him, happily, reaching out a hand for him to shake. "What's your name?"
