Yasuke would be pacing past a vacant doorway as his gaze shifted from a clock to an instructor and back. The people who occupied the room where mostly refugees from Sunagakure with the exception of a handful of Kumo ninja who were there as apart of the relief and intake process. Although most of the damage done in the Wind country had happened sometime ago there were still a few groups that had either lost their way, were badly injured, or were captured that seemed to trickle through to Kumo. “Ever since Raikage Miyamota-sama took the helm he’d seem to be embracing shinobi from all lands”, Yasuke thought to himself as his train of though was suddenly interrupted as the instructor cleared his throat eyes piercing through Yasuke as if had committed a crime “As we come to a close I formally welcome you all we will treat each and everyone of you as one of ours rather this be temporary or permanent placement, that is all enjoy the rest of the day”.  

As soon as the sentence was finished Yasuke had swiftly turned the corner and was the out the door as he would be on his way to the Arbiters Ground’s this was right outside of the Raiu clan compound, since Yasuke’s clan is a staple of Kumo they had a big part in welcoming and overseeing the refugees and any other travelers that came to the village. After a few moments of running through the rocky terrain Yasuke would arrive at the base of the mountains which would encompass an area of 1000m in every direction if one stood in the center. Although the terrain was mostly flat there were huge boulders and jagged rock structures that scattered the area except for the area designated for the all of the past Raikages’ tombstones. This was a very sacred area indeed but many of the Raiu clan members used this as a training arena as it was on the outskirts of the compound. Yasuke would take a deep breathe and exhale as he would quickly grap a kunai out of his pouch, Yasuke eyes would catch a glare as beams of sunlight would reflect off 3 shuriken that were being hurled his way seemingly out of nowhere.

Yasuke would gather himself pushing off the ground with his feet and onto his hands using the momentum from the hand spring to propel himself into the air as 2 of the 3 shuriken would stab the ground a few inches from where he placed his hands during his hand spring. The 3rd shuriken had been throw so precisely that it would ricochet off one of the others, with the path now redirected back towards the torso of Yasuke. Although the evasive manuever Yasuke performed seemed to be affective it would leave him susceptible to the 3rd and final shuriken however still armed with his kunai he would wait until the shuriken was about 1ft away from his torso and in a swift motion he would deflect it. Yasuke would land on the balls of his feet sliding back a foot or two as he would re-position himself he would hear a voice call out “Your late Yasuke....., but as always never let your guard”.  

A black Ranton cloud would form in front of him and as the cloud dissipated Yasuke’s father would reach out and place his hand on Yasuke’s head as a smile stretched across his face.  Yasuke knowing his fathers voice would begin to respond, ”I got caught up..”, as Yasuke father places his hand on his head he would disregard what he was saying mid sentence, even though Yasuke and his father has a “no excuses” policy he was just happy to spend time with his father again. The 2 would begin by stretching, and once done Yasuke’s father would go over the lesson plan for the training session. ”You have gotten better there’s no way around that, but the challenges you face ahead will be insurmountable, Today our training will be about always expecting the unexpected” Yasuke’s father said with a smirk painted across his face.  

He then utilize the “Body Flicker Technique” placing a distance of 6 meters in between them. ”Ready or not hear I come” Arashi chanted, Yasuke quickly rose to his feet as soon as his father moved and got into his battle stance. Arashi would take in a deep breath filling his lungs with Ranton chakra expelling a Ranton mist which would cover a total radius of 20 meters in a matter of seconds. Yasuke seeing the attack coming would jump backwards as far and high as he could, now accessing the situation he would quickly scan the perimeter to see the reach of the technique. “The amount of Raiton chakra used in the technique isn’t enough to be harmful, what’s the purpose of this?”, Yasuke thought as he landed with his back now about 8 meters from the perimeter, he would be immediately engaged as a kick aimed at his forehead was closing in. With only enough time to bring his arms up to block the attack the kick hit we medium force breaking Yasuke’s guard and stance sending him back 2 meters. As soon as Yasuke could gather himself he was met with a fury of jabs in which he maneuver using a few acrobatic moves dodging the barrage of punches. Using his last dodge as a counter attack Yasuke performed a hand spring using the momentum from this twists his arms and tucking his leg extending them into a double kick which would hit Arashi’s chest dead center. After the impact was made as small cloud of smoke was release and poof sound would be heard Arashi used nearby rock as a substitute.  

Now back on his feet and at least 5m between him and the edge of the smokescreen he was in, Yasuke knew he couldn’t remain inside the perimeter otherwise he’d be vulnerable and even though Yasuke could not see his father seemed to be able to sense his presence. Yasuke would begin flipping backward one after another in quick succession gathering chakra simultaneously, he would utilize the “Bunshin no Jutsu” to create 2 clones which would appear 1 meter from the perimeter inside the smokescreen to create a diversion as he would flip until he was 4 meters outside the perimeter. Just as soon as Yasuke would catch his balance he would notice his 2 clones would be struck by some sort of projectile disapating, his diversion proved successful it was only a matter of time before his father discovered his true location. Yasuke would jump back a couple of meters to gain a bit more space “At thisppear rate I’ll be exhausted in no time”.  As soon as he looked up he would see 2 small pools of water leak out the smokescreen right where he positioned his two clones, followed by 3 water projectiles that would come shooting out of the mist.  

The projectiles would be aimed so one would hit his legs, the second lower to mid torso, and the 3rd aimed at his head, since Yasuke was 5-6 meters away from the perimeter of the mist he had time to evade. Yasuke scanned the trajectory of the projectile as he would leap into the air a foot above the highest positioned projectile, the would crash into the ground creating small geysers erupting over a radius of 6 meters. Yasuke would quickly pull 3 shuriken out of his pouch as he descended into the  soaked terrain below scanning the perimeter of the mist waiting for any movement. Yasuke seen something and instinctively tossed the 3 shuriken into the mist as a figure emerged, the shuriken passed completely through the figure as the mist reformed into Arashi, now bursting out of the mist with a Raiton charged palm directed at Yasuke’s torso. Yasuke would be frozen in the moment perplexed in seeing his father take form out of the mist that had just been used for a smokescreen. Yasuke’s only reaction would be to grab his father’s wrist and attempt to use the momentum to propel him over him in a somersault as a counter maneuver.  

Yasuke had to time this perfect in order to avoid the attack, as he reached it seemed as if his father slowed his thrust, though still allowing Yasuke to grab a hold one that would avoid the Raiton charged palm. As soon as Yasuke would go to release his grip and finish his flip his father would thrust his arm forward violently causing Yasuke to flip and land awkwardly, the thrust would send Arashi’s momentum forward as well as he would place his Raiton charged palm on the ground using it to perform a one handed handstand.  Yasuke would feel his muscles tense and before he could think he was electrocuted as he fell helplessly to the ground sprawled out in an awkward position. ”The Suiton based attacks was used as a diversion and a possible medium for the real Raiton based technqiue that followed”, Arashi released the Raiton chakra in his palm as his legs fell to the ground, he would stand right side up. ”As I said always EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED YASUKE!!...you’ll be assigned to a team soon you have to get better, I’ll be gone for awhile on a mission so I won’t be able to train with you again for a while, we can talk more when you get home”. Yasuke would begin to regain feeling in his body  able to move now he willingly chose to lay there. ”I must get stronger I have to be able to protect everyone”, he thought to himself as tears rolled down his cheek he looked into the clouds aimlessly as his thoughts drifted.
