[atrb=valign, top]Ichiro had free time, so he took the chance of this time to head over to the training area for some practice. He opened his closet and grabbed his equipment, making sure that they would be easily accessible when he headed over to the training area. He grabbed his weaponry of pouch, to polish up on shurikenjutsu. "Ichiro... you in here?"The landlord walked in. She was a young slender woman probably in a her late twenties. "I'm heading out right now"He presented to the brunette woman his weapon pouch that he was going to be using, and then she nodded. She placed her hand on his head and gently rubbed it. Ichiro didn't really know how to think of affection, for he's never really felt anything from someone showing him affection besides from his parents "You be careful out there... I don't want you to come back here, bruised up and cut."Ichiro only nodded and stepped out, grabbing a piece of bread on the way out. He casually and slowly walked to the training area, Waving to some of the fellow villagers as he chowed down his bread. When he finished eating, he reached into his pouch and withdrew a kunai. As he walked he played with the steel projectile, twirling it around his finger, flipping it in the air, and anything else that could be done.

How long had it been since he had smelled this familiar, fresh smell? How long had it been since he heard that distinct crunch under his foot? How long had it been since he had seen those great gates stretched out before him? Far too long, that's how long.
Shikashu Nara was a jounin of the wonderful and powerful village of Konohagakure no Sato. Recently he had been on leave from the village to do a mission but now, with another successfully completed B-rank mission under his belt, the Nara Jounin returned to his home village where he would be able to do much relaxing before his next assignment. Or at least he hoped to. He had already done the smart thing and sent his mission report ahead of him via a messenger bird, so now, really, he had a lot of free time to himself before he would be required to meet with the Hokage to discuss the fine details of the mission in detail. So he shifted the burlap sack on his back that he had held there with nothing but his middle finger and decided first thing he wanted to do was actually get a little warm up training routine going.
His mission hadn't provided him anything of a challenge, so this would be a nice breather for the jounin. After all nothing screamed a warm up training routine then busting a giant bolder to pieces using nothing but your fist, right? Okay, to be honest, he was the only person that he knew of right now that was actually capable of doing that in a warm up practice. Not much others possessed the strength let alone the taijutsu skill to pull off such a stunt. Especially not any other Nara he knew of.
Hey when you're a Nara that didn't excel too well in the Ninja Arts, you had to rely on other things, right?
So instead of heading home or directly to the Kage Mansion, Shikashu went straight for the area that would be the training grounds. He knew of a good spot in those training ground where he could perhaps be alone while he did a little endurance warm up routine. It wouldn't be too difficult or too easy either. Just right. It also wouldn't take the Jounin long to arrive at the grounds and find the spot he was seeking. A large wooden pole stuck in the ground. It was easy to tell that it wouldn't support more than perhaps 250 addition pounds in weight, so Shikashu did the most logical thing. He set his pack down before stripping off the additional weight he was carrying, such as his flak jacket and weighted combat boots. He then set them down next to his jacket before scaling the wooden structure and settling himself on top of it so he performed a single handed hand stand with the other held in the sign of the tiger. Already the tower was beginning to sway with the additional weight, and it would take a lot of concentration to keep it from falling over, unless Shikashu wanted to set it up right again.

The sound of running water had been still getting Takezo up mighty early. Since he moved away from the calm docks and started sleeping in the training grounds, close to the water fall, it was hard for him to sleep past sun up. The urge to pee was just too great to ignore and Takezo was one of that people who, once they wake up, stay that way. This morning was no different as it started with him waking up and promptly taking a pee in the fast moving water without the air of hands, as they were generally stretching above his head.
Having one of the apples left from his last theft, He picked it up off the ground next to his bed and started to mow down. Almost on queue a black color streaked across the water and stopped inches away from Takezo standing on its hind legs. The streak of color turned out to be a kitten named Kuromaru AKA Blackie. He was an orphan just like Takezo, only he was a ninneko despite the diminutive stature. Most people mistook him for a normal kitten, which often led to them being robbed of food. Oh hey blackie, What’s up? Takezo greeted the kitten, not even startled in the slightest from his sudden appearance.
I'm just borrrrred and knew you wake up arrrround dis time. He said ,slightly growling his "R's", in the most adorable childlike voice you could ever imagine coming from a kitten. so i rrrran overrrr to spend the day with you He finished as he rubbed his back against Takezo's leg, looking up at him with a profound cuteness the boy couldn't hope to ignore. Fine, but I'm gonna be working on my Taijutsu anyway so you can help. Takezo said as he bent down and lifted the kitten by the scruff of his neck. Just don't cut me soo deep this time, It took me a while to heal from the last time. he said tossing the kitten away a few feet.
The two ran at each other, with Takezo taking a hard left towards the water just before the met, dodging a swipe from Blackie in the process. Jumping along various rocks the pair clashed their way across the river. Blackie was obviously the faster of the two and being the smaller target he was easily evading most of Takezo's attacks. The two made their way to the part of the Training grounds that had things set up, like logs, balance wires and all sorts of targets and other stuff. It was the duo's favorite spot to train, plenty room for creativity.
The two played around for a while, using the various training equipment to increase the fun. There clashed were met with laughs and jokes, mocking one and other in an extremely well-intended fight with neither party holding back. Takezo had more than a few scratches covering his body and the hits that Takezo did land had sent the kitten flying and onto the defensive. Takezo was an aggressive combatant even against his best friend. He took every advance and didn't pull his punches even though he didn't hit most of the time.
The pain moved from place to place, caught up in their own fun and not taking their surroundings into consideration, which is more than likely why Takezo tripped over some heavy ass boot he didn't notice and was kicked in the face by Blackie. The kick being hard enough to knock him down, rolling until he stopped, seemingly millimeters from hitting the log the red haired man was on. The red hair was intercepting the light with made for a fairly awe inspiring, like red tendrils dancing in the wind and light. Even blackie stopped on top of Takezo's chest and looked up, tilting his little kitten head to the side.

[atrb=valign, top]The loaf of bread was finished and so was the walk to the training grounds. Ichiro was facing three wooden dummies that had targets marked on the head, torso, and legs. He quickly took aim at one of the nine targets with his free kunai. Before he could launch it, he heard and caught glimpse of some commotion on his far left. Curiousity took the best of the Uchiha boy at this moment, his mind was already prepared to give attention to business that wasn't his own. From what Ichiro could see, there was a little scuffle going on among the boy and his companion. After the exchange of blows, the boy ended up tumbling into a nearby shinobi's space. Now, here is where things got interesting. Ichiro's jet black pupils widenrf as he awaited to see what would happen next. Jutsu / Item / Action → → → |

It would not be long after Shikashu had begun his own endurance warm up that he would be able to hear the activities of near by shinobi. Especially the activities of one boy and what appeared to be a Ninneko. It seemed that the two moved around a lot when ever they had sparring matches, because before long they had managed to appear in the area where Shikashu had set up his own warm up. Not only that, but the boy apparently didn't even pay attention to his surroundings well, because then he tripped over one of Shikashu's weighted combat boots. Then funny thing being, he didn't even hit the boot hard enough to knock it over.
A smug grin appeared on Shikashu's face as he then watched the Ninneko kick the kid in the face. However as that happened a strong wind rushed past causing the wooden beam he was so precariously balancing on with a single handed hand stand to yawn and begin to lean another direction forcing Shikashu to carefully adjust himself and even quickly switch out hands. "Tch. Pain in the ass wind," he muttered to himself before letting his eyes flick over the surrounding area as he heard the sound of someone else approaching. As he did this he lost attention on the boy and his cat, not even noticing for the time being that he was gazing upon his crimson locks as though mesmerized by some angelic figure.
When Shikashu's hazel eyes caught sight of the other boy he cocked his head to the side slightly before sighing. Might as well as give up on alone time warm up for now since he had company. Shikashu bent his elbow bringing himself so low to the beam that his nose near touched the wood. Then he stretched out his arm quickly springing himself up into the air and off of the wooden beam. In the air he controlled his leap by angling his decent to be a bit away from the beam and rolling up into a series of forward flips before landing on the ground without so much as breaking a sweat. Upon landing on the ground, both of his legs were bent putting him in a crouching position with him distributing his weight onto his toes instead of his actual feet. Before long he actually stood up to his full height before stretching his arms upwards in a stretch for a moment fully exposing his network of tattoos. "So what brings two young shinobi and a ninneko out here today?" He already likely knew the answer, but hey it was a conversation starter.

Takezo just laid there,looking up for a moment with Blackie. Takezo only noticed the other visitor by following blackies eyes when his fuzzy little head turned. Pulling his body up to a sitting position, with blackie climbing effortlessly onto his shoulder, Takezo waved to the other kid whom looked vaguely familiar but Takezo couldn't place it. Shrugging off the thought he simply smiled as them both but payed particular attention to the dismount of the older man. Takezo would later try and emulate that landing in hopes of recreating it. He wasted no opportunity to learn, even if he accidentally created it himself.
I'm Takezo and this is Blackie. Were just training The dirty raven haired boy chirped out happily. Even though he was activity bleeding from more than a few shallow cuts, he didn't seem to mind the pain. Truth be told the scratched were mostly superficial and only one or 2 of them would last the day. The kittens furry head looked up at the tall jounin. We'rrrrre Just funnin' arrrround some. The little kitten added as if simultaneously dismissing his questions and engaging him in a conversation as only a feline could. After which he jumped off of Takezo's shoulder landing with hardly so much as disturbing the ground beneath his feet.
Blackie made his way over to the younger newcomer,eyeing him slightly/ He could smell the food on him still, even if it wasn't there. As Blackie put on his cutest hungry kitten act Takezo went on to explain more of his reason for being out here. In particular were here getting our Taijutsu tightened up a bit, then more than likely finish with some target practice. the little boy added as he padded some of the dirt from his tattered old kimono.
