A Chance meeting [RP/Training-Wolfe/Azumi]

[Renji "Wolfe" Arashi]

Ahhh… Finally, peace and quiet…

Wolfe had been looking for some down time since his return to the village, but it seemed his father and uncle were going to have none of that nonsense. Within the 2 weeks of his return he had already been forced into 2 missions and learned 2 new lightning jutsus and take a week-long trip up to the artic region to work on his botany. Wolfe needed a little down time and he was going to get it one way or another. Unfortunately he had learned the hard way that he couldn’t chill and relax at the house as every time someone would find him and instantly start him on some mission or training.

So…

Wolfe had snuck out before the crack of dawn and found a nice secluded area near the outskirts of the village. The area was nothing shy of perfect and the scenery was calming and refreshing to say the least. Wolfe had found a small lake attached to a stream that headed inward towards the center of the village, but here at the lake the water was fresh from the waterfall that poured fresh water into the lake. The waterfall was only about 5 meters high or so and due to the rocks it was split into one larger, and a few smaller falls. It wasn’t crazy or anything, but it was enough to cause a constant sound of cascading water that if someone was to just sit and listen, seemed to wash over you and help clean your soul nice and fresh. The cascading water also created a fine mist around the area that gave it a nice cool feeling. Rock faces covered some of the area around the tiny lake and the forest grew all around it, giving it a secluded feeling, and the trees granted some shade as well as finished the perfect calming scene. If Wolfe was an artist, this would be his perfect work of art come to life.

Wolfe had only arrived about an hour ago, and he found a nice place just off from the waterfall, next to a few rocks. He was brought a few of his scrolls with notes he had taken from his trip to the artic. He placed the scrolls on the rocks and was lying on his back on top of the water as he used his chakra to just lay on the surface of the water. He had activated his Ryuugan and was just kind of glancing at the waterfall and all the mist it created. Mixed with the nice breeze it was amazing to watch it all with his eyes activated. The truth was he felt that in all the training, missions, and combat that one of the best things about the Ryuugan was the ability to just take moments like this and enjoy them, but these moments were lost to the hustle of everyday life as a ninja. However, Wolfe would be damned if he didn’t get in a little time to chill and enjoy doing nothing at all.

It was early in the morning, and Azumi could feel how tired she was. “Yawn…god I hate all this Ninjutsu stuff, why isn’t my taijutsu fine enough…” She complained as she pulled her Thick green jacket tightly around her body. She had woken up early so that she could attempt to learn all this chakra magic stuff, but as far as it had been she was unsuccessful. Her grey tanktop, grey cargo pants, black combat boots and green raincoat made her look a bit like a hiker…which she certainly was not. She had wanted to get away from the village for a bit to train, but alas she was a bit annoyed. She looked over what looked a bit like a cliff face, down into a small pool of water that looked to be about 5 meters deep or so, with a waterfall dropping down form the stream that flowed to her right and along the path she had taken. “Neat,” She commented to herself as she shielded her eyes from the morning sun, looking around the overlook. Scooping up a rock off the ground, she tossed it up in the air. Might as well train the stuff she knew was what she was thinking as she prepared to turn her body and throw a back kick.

Her hips were the main lever taking action when she turned her body and prepared herself to launch her kick upward. Tracking the rock with her mind, she knew that she had enough coordination to hit it, but was it going to be enough? She lifted her leg up backwards, almost like an uppercut as she aimed to have her heel strike where the rock was going to fall, namely where the opponent’s chin was going to be. This kick was utilized to change the angle of attack and to defend from behind when one was unable to do so normally. It was easy to learn, but difficult to master. It modified the basic back kick, and she was using the same mechanics to throw this kick. Maybe one day she might even be able to do cool techniques like sweeps or throws, but for the time being she was stuck doing what she knew, back kicks.

Throwing the kick high, she felt her heel connect with the rock as the hard round pebble bounced off the rubber of her boot. “Yes!” She shouted as she felt the kick connect and her body extend to its fullest. Twisting her leg back around, she was about to celebrate her instant success with the technique when she suddenly felt herself losing her balance. The rocks she had been standing on were slick, and she hadn’t thought about such a possibility…which left her completed kick throwing her off balance. “Whaaaaa!” She shouted as she slipped, tumbling down beside the waterfall towards the pool of water. Tumbling mostly head first, she naturally rolled her body over in a high Aikido break fall as she attempted to fall feet first into the water…landing with a wild SPLASH! As she impacted the water. Well great, Azumi thought to herself as she floated at the bottom of the pool a bit upset with herself.

Wolfe was enjoying his time doing nothing but then out of nowhere he felt another presence, and as he looked around he saw someone through the mist around the top of the waterfall. Luckily with his Ryuugan active it was easy to tell the figure apart from the mist. Wolfe just watched as it seemed the figure was just standing there for a second then he watched as they grabbed a rock and tossed it up and did some type of back kick. From what Wolfe could tell they decent form, and they did manage to kick the rock in the air like he figured they meant to. However, this is where it all went wrong as he noticed the figure lose their balance on the rocks and fall off the edge of the waterfall towards the water.

As they fell Wolfe finally got a got a good look at them and realized they were a female. Wolfe was impressed as he watched her flip in midair so she could land on the water, but then wasn’t sure what to say as he watched her hit the water and plow right into it and submerge under the surface. Wolfe lifted one eyebrow as he continued to lay there, his head now slightly raised and turned into the direction of where she had handed and was under the water. He waiting till she surfaced, as he figured she had some good reason to fall into the water like she did.

“It’s cold!” Azumi shouted as she emerged from the water. Kicking with her feet and using her hands to keep her afloat in the small body of water, she took a moment to recollect where she was and what she was doing. She had made a mistake for sure, and now she was going to be all soaking wet until she got back to the village. “Ugh…stupid rocks…” She grumbled to herself as she figured she could attempt to train a little bit as she focused chakra into her hand, much like the tree climbing technique. Swimming to the shore where she could stand up in the water, she gently placed her hand onto the water, where her chakra made a little whoosh, making small ripples. She had yet to notice the fellow paint there, but whatever, she was way too focused on doing her own thing. Gently laying her hand on the water, she attempted to feel her chakra repulsing the water at a gentle rate.

“I’ve got it this time!” She shouted as she did the same to her feet, attempting to apply pressure to her hand as she leaned forward. Now, here hand stayed pretty stationary for a moment, and her upper body strength helped with lifting her body up, but as far as actually standing on water, that was a far distance form what she was now doing. The hands were an easy place to manipulate chakra, whereas the feet were much more resilient. She was successfully holding herself up with her hand, but the chakra flow in her feet was a bit too much, she lacked any clear control. It might have looked like she was making some sort of progress, but realistically she wasn’t getting anywhere. She sucked at chakra control, she really was only interested in hitting things, or throwing them. That was what she specialized in anyway. She felt a moment of excitement as she lifted her foot out of the water and onto the seemed like it would be solid platform.

This was not what happened. She focused way too much chakra into her feet as the water shifted under her weight, sending her falling forward into the pond once again. “Whoa!” She shouted, waving her arms around ungracefully as she face planted the water once again. Dang it, She thought to herself as she swam back up to the top. She had a look of frustration on her face as she swam to the nearest shoreline, taking off her coat and tossing it on the ground in frustration as she just couldn’t figure out what she was doing wrong this time. She had done so well before when she had trained with Hyobe, but now she was hitting a wall so to speak. Laying backwards on the cool short grass for a moment she stared up at the early morning sun shining through the clouds, wondering how she would ever walk on water. Was it even possible?

[Renji "Wolfe" Arashi]

Wolfe did nothing as he continued to watch the young girl. It seemed like she either didn’t see Wolfe, or she was just ignoring his presence all together either way Wolfe was finding the series of events almost entertaining to watch. As Wolfe watched he tuned so he was now laying on his side, and continued to watch the young girl. It was becoming pretty obvious she was having issues. As she continued her issue became very obvious, and it made Wolfe ponder for a moment. From what he could tell from what he saw she obviously know so form of taijutsu from her back kick he saw her do before she fell, and it seemed she was able to perform some form of chakra control from her ability to keep her hands on the water surface, but the moment she actually tried to stand on the water, it was a different story.

Wolfe looked her over carefully, and didn’t see a headband on her, so from the facts he had in front of him, he was gathering she might be an academy student, or some form of a non-shinobi from the area, but at least had some training. It was obvious she wasn’t an actual shinobi, cause to even pass the academy you had to be able to walk on water.

Wolfe finally called out to her once she seemed to had given up and found a spot on the shore in the grass ”Having trouble?” cause it seems like you are.” Wolfe wasn’t trying to come across as an ass, but his natural setting was sarcastic and he couldn’t help it.

"Hmmm?" she groaned as a voice commented on what she was doing. Turning her head to face the direction of the sound, she couldn't help but grimace at the fellow sitting there so casually. "No I'm not...I mean Kind of...but Not really," She commented as she stood about knee deep in the pool. Who did this guy think he was, commenting on her technique while she was still learning. He was right of course, but still her pride was hurt. Focusing chakra to her hands, she attempted to do the technique once again, but to no avail. She plopped right into the water once again...which was not comfortable in the least. "I guess you could say I'm not very good at this..." She grumbled. "I'm still not quite a ninja you see, I mean I'm not very good at this stuff...cause you know I just want to punch stuff really hard." She commented as she again focused her chakra.

Focusing charka was really difficult, and she really wasn't having an easy time of it. It was clear to see her problem, as someone who had only learned about chakra no more than a few months ago, she was doing better than others might. Regardless her next few attempts were the exact same as they had been the last time. It was as if she was attempting to use the tree walking technique, which was not going to work. She didn't know that of course, she thought that it was just something that she was missing, or perhaps it was the water or something. "Why can't I get this!" She shouted in frustration as she splashed the water with her hand in anger. Quietly swimming over to the fellow, she prepared herself. "Hey there mister, you don't happen to be a ninja do you?" she asked as she focused her chakra to her feet.

Using the rock to pull herself up she attempted to stand on it. "You see, I'm training to be one...and I don't know how to stand on liquid..." She said as she placed her foot down on the water. It held up this time, but slowly began to sink down into the water as the texture and volume changed constantly. Her feet slowly descended down into the pool. Eventually her whole body was once again immersed in the pool. "See what I mean? She offered as she held onto the edge attempting to stay afloat as she internally sighed at the fact that she wasn't able to figure out this technique. She could fight people with her hands, but her chakra was an entirely different problem.

[Renji "Wolfe" Arashi]

Wolfe listened to the young girl as she tried to obviously lie that she wasnting having issues, and didn't need help. However, as she continued speaking she slowly caved more word by word until she was finally admitting that she was unable to perform water walking. She tried a few more times over by the shore, but they ended in failure and frustration. Wolfe could tell the girl was getting not just frustrated, but seemed to be losing steam overall. It was about this time she admitted that she was not a ninja, but rather a ninja is training. Not only that, but it also seemed she was not much of a ninjutsu user if at all. He had seen he perform a decent taijutsu maneuver up on top of the waterfall before she fell, as well as her remark about wanting to punch things hard.

Wolfe then watched as she once again tried her hand at keeping her upper body above the water with her hands, but once again it was without success. She then turned and asked Wolfe if he was a ninja, but before he had a chance to answer she went on about how she was training to be one and how she was having trouble with the water walking technique, which was obvious by this point. Wolfe almost laughed but figured she didn't need insult to injury and instead decided that even though it would be a pain, he would at least try and help this girl.

Wolfe sat up as he turned his head to look at her "Yes, i am a shinobi. and yeah, it is pretty obvious you are having isues with this technique." Wolfe took a deep breath and let out a sigh as he stood up and looked down at her floating in the water right next to him. He started to walk back towards the shore where she had been just before she had swam out to him "Follow me girl, i will help you. You can call me Wolfe. Now come back over here, and i will help to explain this to you." Wolfe now stood on the water right next to the shore line as he waited for her to meet him there so he could began to help her.
