The Beginning

On this rainy morning at 6:30, Joro awoke to the songs of singing birds and the sound of pitter-patter rain on the roof of his apartment. He woke up having slept well and was excited for the new day. He quickly hopped in the shower. Washed his hair and body, shaved his face, and hopped out. Once he got all dried off he threw on some comfortable black joggers, and a baggy purple t-shirt, and started to brush his teeth and style his hair. Joro always started his day off with a simple stretch so that way he always felt calm and comfortable and he always meditated for 20-40 minutes usually in his room or somewhere outside near his apartment. Today though he was going to go visit the famous Water Gardens of Hoshigakure. He wanted a change of pace from his norm because although he is of the Shokku clan he has yet to master either of his clan's specialties the Muragan and their affinity for purple lightning. He felt that both of these extraordinary powers were going to be coming soon to start his journey of becoming a respected shinobi of the Land of Haven. So to do that his plan was to extend his meditation and he felt going to the gardens would allow him the peace he would need to get past the rut he seemed to be in.  After he had finished stretching he made some green tea and slowly sipped it as he walked out onto his little balcony and sat in his hammock. Joro listened intently to the pitter-patter of the rain swinging back and forth in his hammock. Once his tea was finished he grabbed his rain jacket off the rack at the door and closed it behind him. He strolled down the steps and opened the door outside of his apartment building and put all that stretching to good use by starting to run through the beautiful village he called home.

As he was jogging through the streets of Hoshigakure he took in the sights of the bustling streets filled with the markets, shops, and people all going about their day. Something simple like seeing the smiles on the children's faces in the streets even though it had been raining all morning was so comforting because it reminded the times that Joro spent with his mother in the streets of this village. It also brought him great pain though as she and his father had both left him, leaving him alone at the ripe age of 14. Even though they abandoned him giving no reason for his abandonment it didn't seem to bother him that much at least to the outside world. This was most likely due to the years of training that he did with his father. Constantly focusing on controlling his emotions and focusing on keeping calm at all times. Joro would spend hours during the day learning to harness his emotions and control his anger and sadness. He kept doing this to this day because it was ingrained in him, but he did them in different ways unlike pushing himself to reach those emotional highs and control them like his father had made him. He focused on keeping himself in lower emotional states where he isn't having his thoughts be persuaded through high emotions instead focusing on logical thinking. Now this isn't to be misunderstood that Joro didn't have emotions he did, he just didn't allow them to control him in the slightest he always focused on the work ahead and what needed to be done. He was always known as a caring kind person that was always wanting to be of use and be a full participant in the continuity of the village he stayed in. At this point in Joro's life, nothing outweighed the village in his mind he was willing to do anything for it. Obviously, Joro thought about a lot of things on his jog this morning, and as he had finished his thought he had arrived at the Water Gardens of Hoshigakure.

After Joro had reached the Water Gardens he shook out the water in his hair and walked into the gardens. The gardens were especially beautiful this morning with the soft rain coming down and the lotus in full bloom. The colorful koi inhabiting the gardens were especially active because of the cool temperature, the clouds, and the soft rain they were having today. Joro found himself being pulled towards one pond in particular it was in the back of the gardens, there was a peninsula in the middle of all these ponds. Joro walked out onto it and sat down crossing his legs. He unzipped his jacket to let the cool air in to relax himself from the sweat he built up while running. Joro started to take deep breaths feeling the energy around him closing his eyes to concentrate. Feeling the rain wash over his face and down his chin having that cool touch wash over him. He felt at peace because of the comfort the rain brought to him although he was a lightning element user. As well as his clan being particularly strong with lightning having developed purple lightning Joro always felt like water specially calmed him. The water was how he wanted to be he wanted to be calm, comforting, and enjoyable, but he also wanted to be like the lightning in his blood powerful, changing, and determined. Joro was focusing on his future at the moment thinking about what he wanted to accomplish as he was starting his Shinobi journey. His obvious immediate goals were to continue to gain knowledge and power from different jutsu and comrades. He felt that getting off on the right foot with everyone that he came across was important to building positive relationships and networking with different shinobi who could teach him. This would help him to reach his long-term goal of becoming a powerful and well-respected shinobi for the Land of Haven.

After this thought passed his mind Joro began to focus on the chakra within him his own personal energy. His chakra resembled the feeling of the cool dirt on your feet on a spring morning with the fog in the air right before sun up when it's not too warm not too cold. It was a feeling of calmness and comfort. This feeling of calmness allowed Joro to be able to mold his emotions to allow him to stay within a steady state of control. At this point in his life, he had this skill mastered essentially he didn't ever feel a rise but he wasn't always like that it had just only become out of habit after his parents left and he switched his style up. As his chakra made its way around his body Joro started to feel a tingle almost like a spark. But it was a different kind of spark, one with a different feeling. This different feeling Joro couldn't put into words. It was a completely different feeling. This feeling started to soar through Joro as he felt the chakra seep out of him. He kept breathing feeling this new surge of power something new and exciting was happening to him. Could this be the feeling that his ancestors felt when they obtained the power of his clan? He kept focusing on his breathing and started to clear his thoughts to make the feeling of this power stick. After some time he felt that he was able to control the chakra that he had summoned and opened his eyes. When his eyes opened he saw the sparkle of purple chakra around him. It looked like the purple you would see in the sky overhead during a sunset in mid-June. It started to manifest in sparks in Joro's hands sparking up in the rain as he saw the beauty of his newfound power. He started to mold it in between his hands from a sparking sphere to a cylinder. Playing with it almost, his curiosity drove him to this new experience. Then as he went to switch it from one hand to another it was gone. He had lost focus. Joro realizing he had lost his focus tried to grab back onto it barely managing to catch it from slipping away. As he caught it he felt it ignite again showering the sparks into streaks of lightning all around him. He had finally awakened the power of his ancestors.

With this new power developed, he got up from his sitting position at the pond satisfied with the progress he made today. He then started to stretch out some more because he had been sitting for a while. Then he started to jog back to his apartment feeling excited because he had finally started to unlock the potential that would help him become the shinobi he always wanted to be. When he got back to his apartment he made a late lunch, took a shower, and then a nap. After his nap Joro made dinner and did some reading before he headed to bed excited for the new day tomorrow.
