Training Montage[ p, inv only ]

The Kazekage Chambers.



A secret passage opens up within the Kages office and reveals a rather stoic looking man. The man himself was a member of the elite unit of shinobi known solely as DUST. The individual in question, a man in his early to mid twenties, wore a relatively simple get-up that consisted of a training gi, judo pants, finger-less gloves, and no shoes.  As far as appearances go, the most striking physical characteristic about the man would be his kekkai genkai, a trait that identifies him as a member of the Hyuga clan. Nearly shoulder length black hair remains untouched and unrestrained, his bangs obscuring some of the his face when viewed from the front. A rather rough and unattended stubble remains upon his face and appears to be the start of what could be an incredibly righteous beard.  Concerning the mans build, he is possessed of a lean yet undeniably strong body.

He would approach the front of the Kages desk and deliver a professional bow before nearly collapsing into a chair situated before it. A yawn would escape his mouth before he fixes his attention back on the Kage. A grin slowly worked it's way onto his face as he knew their scheduled bout of training was soon at hand.

" I put 10 ryo on me getting in the first hit this time, Koroshi.  "

While it was essentially a rather bold claim, the man hoped the Kage would take it the way he had intended and not become offended.

Upon seeing his trusted Dust member and friend Aiko coming through the passage way that may be used for all Dust, he smiles, returning the mans greeting by nodding his head slightly. After his formal greeting Aiko would proceed to flop down into the chair yawning, Koroshi takes this as he has spent most of his night patrolling around, making sure that Suna is safe. The life of a Dust member not giving you too much time to rest, so when there is some time set aside most take advantage of it. Although Aiko has always been a different case, in stead of resting he would rather train during his down time, and sure enough only moments after sitting down he begins to grin before offering a challenge to Koroshi "10 Ryo huh? I'll raise you 100 that I'll get you two times before you can hit me" Koroshi says with a grin of his own as he stands up from his desk, the two of them often spar and will make comical bets on who will get the first hit on the other, however due to Koroshi being the Kazekage , and being very strong for his age, he has always won these bets. After he stands Koroshi would stretch his arms lightly behind his back to stretch out his muscles and to loosen himself up "If we are going all out then I think we should go to the caves so we won't be seen or have to worry about anyone getting in the way" Koroshi says while stretching his body out.


Should Aiko agree Koroshi would give him a nod before flowing chakra into his body before preforming a body flicker to enhance his speed, this shortening the travel time by a large amount as the two would appear in front of a cave a few miles outside of the village, once inside the cave they would travel down a few passages until they happen upon a very open space for the two to spar in. The ceiling would be 500 feet tall, and the cave would be 1000 meters around in width. There are some scattered rocks about as well as some water that is dripping from the sides of the cave most likely caused by an under ground spring. On the ceiling and around the edges of the walls are glowing green crystals that light up the cave giving them comfortable vision where they may see each other.

After entering this place Koroshi would go to the far end of the cave on the opposite side of Aiko leaving 1000 meters in between them so they have more than enough room to get things started "You may begin whenever you wish"

Akio couldn't help but grin until he heard the comment about amping up the bet. If anything, it was a burn that brought up several failed wagers they had made in the past.

" That's low...really, really low. "

Akio would then follow his Kazekage's example and body flicker to what is to be the site of their training. Yawning again, Akio would stretch and get somewhat limber before speaking to Koroshi once again.

" No low blows! You can go first since you obviously need the head start "

Akio snickered as the kage walked away. He knew he was playing with fire but that didn't worry him in the slightest. Koroshi was a friend and a good friend at that. The two had fought many times before and Akio always came out of it for the better. Turning around, Akio continues to stretch and ready himself whilst waiting for Koroshi to get to the other side.

Hearing Akio's cocky words Koroshi grins, his Uchiha blood being tested, there has always been a sort of rivalry between the Hyuga and the Uchiha clans, each being known for their very powerful Dojutsu, as well as skill in combat. However in history there has been a more aggressive rivalry and disputes of who is stronger, and who should get more funding.  Koroshi however prefers to fight with members of the Hyuga clan not to show that the Uchiha is better, but simply because they tend to give much more of a challenge when it comes to Taijutsu, he is often pushed to the limit to dodge his chakra points from being hit by their great speed, and timing.

With this being said Koroshi was very happy when Akio became a Dust member, allowing him to always have a training partner, and someone to help push and keep him active, being the Kazekage doesn't offer many chances to stretch out your muscles, or to test yourself as it is mainly making sure everything is taken care of as far as paper work, finances, construction and stability. Very rarely does anything happen that would call for a Kage leveled ninja to fight, although it is more of a boring time, Koroshi is still very happy and grateful that his village is safe, and that he doesn't have to act.


"Very well" Koroshi says with a smirk as he activates his born blood right, the Enteral Mangekyo Sharingan as he walks to the other end of the room, casually picking up a rock as he walks to his side of the cave, to get a warm up Koroshi thinks that he should test his friends speed and reactions by playing a little game. With this Koroshi begins to take what started as a basket ball sized rock, he has cut it into about 30 marble sized pebbles by using his great strength and control over doton, once he has his "ammo" he would turn around being at the other end of the cave. Without saying another word Koroshi would begin to throw 6 of his pebbles at his friend each one aiming to hit a different part of his body, one for each arm, one for each leg, one for his chest, and another for the center of his forehead. These pebbles would be traveling at Koroshi's current max throwing speed of (128) Should the hit land the boy should be knocked to the ground with some bruising, but due to his tough skin and with these being rounded he should not be hit too much, this is just to test the waters

As Koroshi reaches his end of the cavern, Akio would waste no time and activate his own blood-born gift. With the activation of the Byakugan, Akio's eyes featureless eyes would change drastically. The pupil would take on a distinct appearance of it's own whilst the veins on Akio's temples would begin to bulge. He could see in a near 360 degree field of vision now along with the rocks that were suddenly making their way toward him at an alarming pace.

Thankfully, his reaction timing was decent enough to allow him to rear his right arm backward. Akio quickly channels chakra into through his being and into his hand before rapidly extending his hand as quickly as possible. Keeping his palm open as he goes, Akio performs a high-speed palm thrust and expels the chakra from his hand. The "Vacuum Palm" projectile would travel forward, impact the rocks, and destroy them assuming they were ordinary rocks.

Assuming Koroshi doesn't capitalize any further, Akio would slowly return to a neutral pose while yelling quite loudly.

" WHAT WAS THAT!? ROCKS!?! WHO THROWS ROCKS!?! "

Though he was somewhat irate at the fact that someone decided to peg rocks at him, Akio couldn't help but grin slightly afterward. Things were only going to get worse from here and hopefully, if the two of them were lucky, they just might make something explode this time. Maybe cause a cave in or something else.

( AP used -1 Byakugan, -35 Vacuum Palm )

After throwing the rocks Koroshi would wait, watching to see how his Dust member would deal with the incoming projectiles, normally weapons of any kind are not his thing, so it is rare for him to throw things, however it is good practice for him, and it helps him see how his ninja will handle such a situation. As expected Akio without hesitation turns on his byakugan, his eyes widening, his veins bulging out as he focuses on the task at hand. his form shifting into a Hyuga type stance before he thrusts his hands forward, send out a powerful gust of wind that causes the rocks to shatter due to the pressure put on them. Akio returning to a causal stance before shouting to him about throwing rocks, causes Koroshi to chuckle a bit "Just keeping you on your toes!" Koroshi says with a grin before deciding to get in closer, given that they are both Taijutsu users the fight will only really begin once they get up close and personal. Having said this Koroshi begins his charge, with each step Koroshi putting all of his power into it causes the ground to break up some, leaving small craters whatever he steps making the terrain more difficult to walk on in the future, Koroshi doing this just in cause the fight is taken back to this side of the cave.

With Koroshi traveling at his max speed he should arrive within striking distance within moments, Koroshi once he gets closer would draw back his right arm as he prepares for a hook like punch to strike out at Aiko's face, aiming for his jaw. Just before the punch would happen however and depending on what his fellow ninja plans to do, Koroshi would plant his right foot firmly on the ground 3 feet away from the Dust member. This allowing Koroshi to have more control and power in his strike.
