The slums. A place where you could find just about anything if you looked hard enough. The place really was a place of miracles. Nyx has found so many odds and ends in the slums, she honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a pair of Rinnegan laying around here somewhere, and no one had found it yet simply because of all of the ruffians and bandits that lurk around the corners. It was in this place that Nyx had also found a pretty ideal training grounds. It was in the outskirts of the slums and probably used to be an old church or something of the likes that was cemented into the base of the wall that surrounded Sunagakure. Either way, it was pretty large and definitely abandoned, and from what Nyx could tell, no one really came around here due to it's general distance to most things. However this only made it even better for Nyx to train at. She could easily train in peace without the disturbance or smell of the other shinobi who all flocked towards the Sunagakure training grounds. Though because no one went around it at all, Nyx didn't really go inside the building, just hung around the street in front of the building, and mostly trained in that area. There was plenty of shade and the like for Nyx to rest whenever she needed to take a break for a bit, and it was all around generally a good spot, despite the fact that most people might be a little creeped out of the place.

It was to this place, and for these reasons that Nyx had invited Syekren, A jounin, and the Sensei of squad 3 to this place. The reason that she invited Syekren to help her train was for a few different reasons. The first being her recent attempts at training, she realized where a bit too dangerous at the moment for someone of her skill level, and she really didn't feel like inconveniencing Shizumi anymore than she already had. She wanted to leave a good impression on the med-nin that saved her life, instead of looking like a fool that couldn't take care of herself, furthermore, there was no guarantee that Shizumi was going to be there to save her ass next time. So the scorpion lair was off-limits to her for a bit more, at least until she got a tad bit stronger. Which means that she needed to resort to a bit more traditional methods of training, however that usually required a Sensei. Something she still had yet to be assigned too. While the girl was recovering she had been assigned to a squad, however that squad still didn't have a Sensei assigned to it at the moment, so she was still out of luck. Which lead to Nyx then sending letters to other Sensei's to see if they would help assist her in training. Syekren agreed to do it as a personal favor! Which had her a bit excited and a tad bit worried at the same time, but at least she was going to be doing some training under a teacher, something she had yet to do since her mother died.

With all of this in mind, Nyx sat waiting against an abandoned building a crossed the street from what Nyx assumed was a citadel, or a temple of some sort. It would be here that the girl would wait until Syekren showed up. However if he didn't show up for a bit, than Nyx would have to consider whether or not he was still coming, and she may just end up training on her own. It was about mid-day after all, and she was fine being out here all night for training, it's not like she really had anywhere else to be, she just wanted to get started on it as soon as possible.

Syekren was patrolling through the day, checking up on the various landmarks and places around sunagakure. He sighed as he leaped from building to building, the wind whipping his cloak about his body. It was rather strange for someone to be jumping about the rooftops, it was twice as strange should that person be wearing a cloak as the Uchiha currently was. Still, it was his job to leap about the place, searching for anyone who might be up to no good, or just any general sign of discord and trouble. Sunagakure no sato was rather peaceful lately, so it wasn't like he was likely to find anyone doing much outside of the slums. He stopped upon a rooftop and rubbed his temples. Speaking of the slums, he was supposed to be meeting someone who needed training in the slums today. With a sigh,  Syekren waved silently, standing there in his black cloak with red trim. When a nearby Jounin saw his signal, they jumped to the roof with him and nodded. "I've got some business to tend to. Take over for me, will you?" They nodded to each other and Syekren jumped off in the opposite direction.

It didn't take him too long to reach the slums, flipping back and forth between rooftops. Syekren's eyes scanned the area as he moved, trying to find the meeting place. It wasn't long before a building that resembled an old rundown church came into view, prompting the Jounin to stop and stare from the rooftop. That would be where he was to meet the girl known as.. Uh. He quietly reached into his pocket, procuring a letter to read over it once more quietly. After which, he shoved it back into his pocket. So he was to meet a young genin girl named Nyx and help her train since at the moment she didn't have a sensei in her squad. With a sigh, the ninja jumped over the roof tops to stop on one a single building away from the church.  With his chakra concentrated, he created a clone out of thin air in a poof of smoke. The clone looked exactly like the ninja who had conjured him up, save for the cloak that was being worn by the original. At the whim of the Uchiha, the clone hopped down into the open area near where the girl was resting.

Syekren moved to the edge of the roof and sat down, watching quietly. The clone was wearing Syekren's normal clothing of black shinobi tights, black socks and soft step shoes. He was also wearing a black netted shinobi shirt with black out sleeves to cover his arm, a black shinobi gi, all tied together with a hitai-ate on his forehead, with black cloth holding on the metal protector plate. The blue eyed man quietly moved away from the church like building to the abandoned building the girl was resting on, looking down at her. His head tilted and he watched her carefully. Syekren watched his clone from afar, rubbing his chin as the clone would speak to the girl, trying to get her raised up and ready for training. Syekren would simply watch for now, judging the girl based on her techniques and applications of such before he would figure out the best training method for her. This was something new he was going to try out to attempt at judging the worth of students before actually moving to train them. The clone spoke in the same gruff voice that the original did.

"I am Syekren, the man you've asked to train you. I'd like to see what you can do and know exactly what I'm going to expect from you. If you would?"
