Daydream in Blue

Ise had decided to make his way to the training grounds within the training grounds. For once in his life though, it wasn’t to actually train. In fact, he actually didn’t know why he had decided to show up at the training grounds. He figured that it was just simply natural for him to be in this familiar place. He made his way up towards the hill deciding to simply enjoy as well as take in the view of the beautiful place. The breeze was steady as he sat down over the ledge of the hilltop’s cliff with the pond being right below. He remembered how he always wanted to train all the time when he first started out as a Genin.

Sure, he was still a Genin, however, Ise had learned so much in so little amount of time, that he figured that just simply taking a step back for a change was a nice little reprieve for the time being. He took in a deep breath just sitting there, closing his eyes as his spikey hair blew along with the breeze that picked up, taking in the new spring air. “So much has happened since I became a Genin,” he thought to himself, having a small smile on his face. It wasn’t just the good though that he was thinking about. He also had to acknowledge the bad too. He had learned a bunch of new jutsu, as well as developed his Sharingan to such a degree that he never thought imaginable. Despite that though, he still had no idea what the unique pattern of his Sharingan meant … other than the fact that he acquired … new abilities due to the change of pattern in his eyes. Before that, however, Ise had his leg cut off as well, which … definitely wasn’t something that he wanted to relive again. On the bright side though, he not only managed to have his leg surgically reattached, but he also got a large sum of money within the same day he woke up.

He had remembered that he was told to stay inside the house for a week which was unbearable, especially with his older brother Itsuki having been staying around the house with him while his mom worked. It was odd. Normally, Itsuki would just leave him there, however, he surprisingly didn’t argue a whole lot despite the fact that he would have to watch him. Itsuki though was still him for the most part. Rude, ignorant, and bossy. After a while of thinking of all the other things, Ise had lost his train of thought when he saw what he presumed to be a female doing pushups a few yards away from the pond. Did Isemori not catch her entering the training grounds earlier? From the looks of it though, she surprisingly didn’t notice his presence up above on the cliff either.

Ise had decided that rather than being anti-social, he figured it’d be nice to go and say hello. As he jumped down towards the pond below, he thought to himself, “Judging by her workout, she must be someone who focuses on Taijutsu.” a few minutes before his feet met the surface of the water, he gathered chakra at the soles of his feet, making sure that he wouldn’t fall through the pond’s surface like a complete idiot. That would have been embarrassing to do, especially in front of … well, anyone really. He formed a smile on his face as he made his way a few feet in front of her before stopping. “Hiya! My name’s Ise. What’s yours?” He asked, being polite as well as friendly.

Ise held his grin at the girl as she had casually greeted herself, seeming friendly enough. She had even extended out her hand once she was on her feet, for Ise to shake. He accepted, shaking it slightly while he held his grin. When she had asked him what brought the Uchiha to the training grounds, he had nervously chuckled a bit and said, “Well, to be honest, I was just sitting over there on top of the hill.” He said, pointing towards the hilltop over the pond. “I wasn’t training or anything. I just like coming here a lot,” he admitted to her, as well as himself.

The breeze picked up a little once more before the Uchiha started talking again. “When I saw you doing those push-ups, I figured rather than sitting on my butt that I’d actually come to say hello.” Ise had said, with his grin growing a bit wider. It was clear that he was definitely the friendly type. “Since I’m on my feet though, perhaps I can help you with your training?” The silver-haired Uchiha offered as a friendly gesture. He admitted he was not the greatest in terms of taijutsu, however, there could be perhaps something that he could offer. “If you are up for it, we could possibly have a friendly spar as well. I’ll leave that up to you though, of course,” Ise had said, his grin, going back into a smile.

“I’ll need to not go all out though.” The thought immediately crossed his mind, knowing that he shouldn’t use his most powerful techniques. He still was trying to get a handle on figuring out what his Sharingan could do whenever that unique five-leaf clover pattern appeared. Honestly, it kind of worried him a bit. However, despite that though, he kept that within the back of his mind. He was also certain that he could possibly teach her a few things if she wanted him to as well. Since she looks like she focuses on Taijutsu, there’s a possibility that she could know a thing or two about Bukijutsu as well,” The silver-haired Uchiha thought to himself while he waited to see what Ryumi wanted to do.
