The sun would commence it's movements to hide from Iwagakure, darkness would shroud the former lit sky providing shadows to consume the village. Lanterns would light up across the village hidden in the stone, whilst shops began to close for the day, turning their attention to their families and commitments. But for Kazu; his commitments had just begun, he had just been appointed squad leader of 'Squad 4.' The Twenty-Three year old Kanetsu would make his way through the dim lit town, his skin surprisingly warm even in the chilly winds the weather provided. It wouldn't take long for Kazu to arrive at his destination, affront the rock pit.

During the five years Skarn had left Iwagakure Kazu had changed completely. Not only was he respected as the strongest Kanetsu of the village thus gaining the title of 'Clan Head' but gained attention of his Kage and joined the ANBU squad. Not only was his talents versatile and rewarding but gave him an opportunity to teach the youth in the shinobi lifestyle. If only it were simple, for the only sensei Kazu had was the former Tsuchikage 'Arashi.' But that didn't happen for long due to the 'Summit Incident.' It was made clear to Kazu that building a student-sensei relationship was vital to a the building of a shinobi's strength. So where better than to take your new squad member to the rock pit?

It was a favourable location for the gold haired jounin as it literally contained everything he needed. From alcohol to women the place had it all, so bringing a minor to better understand his sensei? What a perfect setting to produce a strong shinobi. Kazu had sent a messenger bird to his 'soon-to-be' student notifying him that 'The meeting point will be Rock Pit' whilst also noting 'To be here at 8pm sharp, tardiness will not be accepted.' The time was now 8:20pm, and his student still hadn't shown up. But of course Kazu would remain calm....until his student would arrive. His posture would lean forward whilst his lower back would rest against a stone wall. His mind would begin to ponder against an abyss of raw boredom. His student had already messed up.

Grey woke up ready for his big day. Tody was the day he would finally meet his new sensei. Grey always wanted a strong sensei, so he hoped his was actually worth it. He had heard word that his sensei name was Kazu. That didnt seem like an ordinary name to Grey. Grey brushed his teeth and put on his normal Genin clothing, ready to do some training. When Grey went downstairs his mother had told him his sensei sent him a letter saying he should be at the Rock pit by 8PM sharp. It was already 8:20PM so Grey had to rush eating his dinner, slamming the door while having ramen stuffed in his mouth. Grey really wanted to be on time even though he was already late. Grey ran into the city asking for different directions to the Rock pit, he had no idea to where he was going. Grey ran in all different directions searching for the rock pit.

After Grey had finally found the rockpit, he started looking around for his sensei. He had no idea what his sensei looked like, so he went around asking different people. Then Grey saw a guy resting on a rock with gold/yellow hair. Grey went over to the man laying on the rock and asked him,"I am looking for my sensei his name is Kazu, do you know where I could find him?"

After the deadline had been reached and twenty minutes would have passed, a figure would suddenly emerge from the shadows to Kazu's right. Two crimson orbs would stay focussed on this new figure as it made it's way toward Kazu, as the figure came closer it's description became to liven, as black eyes complimented with a mass of black hair spreading from the top of his skull. Yes, it was definitely a boy, and a lost puppy if anything. Kazu would keen his body positioned against the stone wall as the shape was definitely his student. Their eyes would meet at an awkward standstill before the young shinobi would approach Kazu. "I am looking for my sensei his name is Kazu, do you know where I could find him?" An eyebrow would raise on the young Kanetsu before smiling and answering back to his student. "Grey is it? You've found your sensei, the name's Kazu Kanetsu." His leg would kick of the wall, gently pushing his body off his leaned state against the wall, allowing his body to stand perfectly straight, his hands would slither to his pockets whilst his body aimed directly as Grey.

"I guess seeing it's your first time late you won't receive a punishment, no matter the excuse i usually don't condone tardiness. But i've got a surprise for you that you will.......like i guess." The smile already present on the young Kanetsu's lips would slowly widen as he began to walk toward the entrance of the rock pit, his body poised with his posture vaguely firm. His right hand would rise above his shoulder whilst rotating the hand back and forth as a gesture for his new student to follow him. "Now i need you to use your transformation jutsu, and appear as me with black hair. Then cover your face with the black sash and follow me." Now that his back was turned to Grey, Kazu's smile would cynically widen, for Kazu's true intentions for his new student at the rock pit would deliver a new meaning to the word 'training.' Only time would tell what was in store for the young disciple.

Grey was truely shocked at what this man before him had said. Could it be true? A golden haired wacko was his sensei? Grey looked at the man who called himself Kazu carefully. Maybe he was just pulling my string, but my the looks of his tone he wasn't joking. Grey decided to introduce himself to Kazu even though he might already know who Grey was."My name is Grey Toshin, and I wish to become strong."Grey said with confidence. Grey did feel kinda weird introducing himself to his sensei since he didn't really trust him, but he had to give him a chance if he liked it or not. Grey had heard when Kazu said he had a surprise for Grey, he felt so happy since he loved surprises. Grey was so happy until he figured out that the surprise had to do something with the rock pit entrance. when Grey had gotten the letter it said nothing about entering the rock pit but it seemed his sensei left out the good stuff. Grey had to use Henge No. Jutsu (Transformation Technique) to look like Kazu to go in before him and Kazu continued. Grey was a little unhappy about that since he didn't like how he looked now he had to look like him. But that passed his mind when he figured out he had to have black hair and wear a black stash to cover his face. Grey stood in a straight stance so he could concentrate. In silent words Grey said,"Henge No. Jutsu."Grey now had the skin and complex action, every thing similar to Kazu except his hair. grey had black hair and he loved it that way. Grey wore the black stash he was given to cover his face but he stopped as Kazu motioned his hand into a come follow me sort of way.

   Grey became suspicious as to we're exactly they were going. Grey had found it pretty weird that he had to go somewhere with someone he didn't trust very well into the rock pit, one of the places he hated."Where do you plan to take me?"Grey said in a serious tone. He wasn't about to enter the rock pit with a wacko like Kazu.

Chakra : 145/150

Name: Transformation Technique (変化の術 ~ Henge no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Self/Sight
Specialty: None
Duration: -5 every two posts.
Cooldown: 2 posts after deactivation.
Description: Given all the missions ninja are assigned to--battle, intelligence gathering, diversions--this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be visually and physically the same as the original, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. This jutsu is purely appearance-based, and does not give a ninja the abilities or jutsu of a person they transform into. Dojutsu can easily pick out this technique, and if the user has transformed into someone larger than themselves, the bits beyond their natural body will have no heat signature. This, and the fact that the chakra of the user wouldn't look normal makes it easier for sensing techniques to pick out transformed people. Costs 5 chakra on activation, and an additional 5 chakra every 2 posts.

A cloud of smoke would emerge from Grey's position, it was clear the transformation jutsu had just been complete. Kazu would swivel using the balls of his feet thus turning his body toward Grey, and to an utter surprise the transformation jutsu was a success, as besides the black hair Grey looked exactly like Kazu. "Great work Grey. Now follow me in, your name is now Kazu. Grey Toshin, that's a strong name." The constant smile that the Kanetsu provided would now morph into an emotionless tone as his hands would weave together creating the monkey seal. "Henge no Jutsu" a small white cloud would burst from his body before dispersing into thin air, allowing Kazu's body to be fully visible...but completely different. His skin would be covered in fur, and he'd only be 1 foot tall, paws would be present on the ends of his arms whilst whiskers dispersed from his face. Yes, Kazu had transformed into a kitten.

The kitten would swiftly leap atop Grey's shoulder and began to speak. "Okay, i want you to walk in the rock pit  and buy a drink, i don't care what you get but consider it free, i'll pay you back later, and enjoy. I want you to see the brighter side of being a shinobi." It was made clear making Grey come to the rock pit was a 'bonding exercise' but was their any malevolent meaning? The perched Kazu should sit atop Grey's right should and whisper into his ear. "At the front you'll meet Hoji, he's the body guard so all you gotta say is the password, which is 'Piss off cow' and he'll let you in. Understood?" His voice was calm and quiet and had set out a perfect evening for Grey. But was all what it seemed?

Chakra: 295/300

Jutsu Used:

Grey was very lost within the conversation, he felt like erasing his mind when Kazu had said Grey's name was now his. Grey started to groan in pain of being caught up into this plan. Then things got more weird when Kazu had used the Transformation Technique, standing before Grey was an adorable talking kitty. Kazu looked cuter in his current state then he did before to Grey. This all let up to my suspicion as to why Kazu had transformed in the first place. Kazu had leeped onto Grey's right shoulder as he wondered what was going on. Grey was ok with it though, since Kazu's soft fur was rubbing against his ear."So you want me to go in a bar and get a drink of any choice? You call that the brighter side of the shinobi life?" Grey said. Grey put a huge smile on his face like he had won the lottery.I love where this shinobi life was going"Grey said happily. When Kazu said he would pay back, Grey wasnt too sure of that, so he had a little plan incase such thing happened.

Grey did feel like there was a connection between him and Kazu, he kinda liked it afterall. Kazu turned out to be nice guy to Grey. Grey started walking up to the entrance, he saw the man Hoji that Kazu was blabbing on about."Piss of cow?"Grey said unsure of the stupidity that came out of his mouth at the moment. Grey looked at Kazu on his shoulder and shrugged. Hoji stepped aside, letting us in without noticing the Transformation Technique. Thank goodness that Grey could hold his Transformation Technique so long since it was his first doing it. Beginers luck he supposed. Entering the rock pit Grey had spotted many men that were either drunk or drinking. Grey's mother had told him to not drink until he was at least 18, but no one got time for that. Grey had went up with his black hair and manly looking self and got some sake. Sake was a good drink for his age, or a beginer drinker he thought. Grey drank and drank almost drowning poor kitty Kazu while sake tipped over his mouth.

It had seemed the underage Grey had been quite the drinker for both his size and age. But was pure enjoyment the reason Kazu made his young pupil use the transformation jutsu to turn into Kazu himself? Whatever the reason, Grey was in for a shock. The kitten form 'Kazu' would slowly crawl across Grey's shoulders, reaching closer to his ear before whispering yet again. "Well done, now, here comes the real deal." His voice was sensible and stern, even for a kitten Kazu's presence became stagnant and monotone. "This Grey is a test, a test to see if your worthy of being a shinobi. So listen to what i say carefully." His paws would reach for the corner of Grey's chin and pull his head toward himself thus allowing both their eyes to meet. You must not react in any way to protect yourself. You must not speak, and you must not strike others in any way in the next 10 minutes." His crimson eyes would glare directly into Grey's black pupils." Failing to do so and you're gone. You'll not only be kicked off my squad but you'll no longer be a shinobi. "

There was so much tension in the air it could've been sliced with a knife, the kitten form Kazu would perch directly atop Grey's shoulder before leaping onto a stone wall before leaping atop a small rock pillar. Atop the pillar his view of the rock pit was perfect as he sat down, perching his bottom on the earth pillar. His crimson orbs would only watch Grey in hope that he would follow every direction Kazu had displayed. But were they his true motives. What was Kazu trying to accomplish with Grey being a sitting dummy. It wouldn't take long for his plan to take action. Yells would be heard from the entrance of the rock pit. Two chuunin shinobi would emerge from the stone arch entrance. Both of the shinobi red in anger as their blood literally began to boil beneath their skin. Their attention directing straight at the drunk Grey would allow their screams to be heard across the rock pit venue. "KAZU KANETSU!" Their eyes would be drawn straight to the transformed Grey who looked identical to Kazu. "HOW DARE YOU DEFILE MY WIFE." The two began to breathe deeper, inhaling more air than they could possibly withstand their bodies in an intense rage to beat Kazu (Grey right now) into pieces. The two would begin to charge at the sitting Grey. But unseemingly the rock pit was at it's natural uproar, Kazu tended to do this alot so it was a casual show for the audience amidst the rock pit. The two chuunin ranked shinobi with leap forward toward Grey before unleashing their fists similtaneously toward Grey's face. If the punches connected it Grey would be knocked unconscious. Was Kazu truly letting his new student to be pummelled?

Grey was getting lost since he was drunk, hebhad already thought the real deal was happening but there was another part too it. Grey was shocked when Kazu had said this was a test. For starters this was a weird test getting drunk at the rock pit. Grey had no idea how this would help him or how it was a test at all. As Grey's head and chin looked at Kazu, he tryed to thinknof a reason as to why he must not react in any way to protect himself, speak, or strike others.
Grey looked at Kazu in a serious look as if he had been tricked into doing his dirty work. Grey just continued drinking, gettig more drunk as he thinked. Grey was happy he still had blood pumping tl his brain after how mich he drank sake. Grey was looking at the entrance as two angry red headed chunnins approached. They yelled out Kazu's name who they thought were me. This is really bad, i cant protect myself, speak, or hit them. So what was I supposed too do? More importantly why would Kazu defile someone wife. Grey took a quick angry glimpse at Kazu as he had the perfect view of the whole thing, turning back quickly Grey had been punched in the face. If Grey couldnt protect himself in any way which means dodging, running which was not acceptable, or using jutsu. So Grey just took it all in.

Grey stood their getting punched, not protecting himself, striking back, or speaking. The two chunnin seemed very mad at Kazu for something stupid he had done. Grey looked at Kazu as he got punched repeatedly. The two chunnin kept asking questions but I didnt answer, I was told not to speak. maybe if they get tired then this woukd all be over. Grey wiped the blood of his face as the two chunnin lay there a littke bit tired.

The event that took place in the Rock Pit went perfectly to Kazu's plans. The two had both struck Grey with formidable strength, it was actually a sight to see noticing Grey's skull intact. So far Grey had displayed the ability to edure strikes as well as take orders well, it was just too bad Kazu truly palmed these two traits to the side with his trainings. Still hidden in cat form atop a stone pillar the young clan head would watch peacefully hoping the poor boy would do something. It had seemed their strikes had successfully struck the innocent Grey and had knocked him against the bar counter. Scarlet blood would slide from the young genius mouth as the two chuunin made their way closer to Grey. It was finally showtime, would Grey let these two beat him to a bloody pulp? Or would he stick up for himself? Whichever the reason Kazu would sit perfectly still atop the pillar, watching the events that were taking place.

The tension again would build to no end, with only a few meters away the two would run at the fallen Grey, there legs would kick off the ground, leaping once again toward grey whilst extending their arms and clenching their fists, allowing their 'gliding' punch to knock Grey out if they hit their mark.

Grey was laying against the bar counter with his blood everywhere. The black haired shinobi had become a blood blank with his name on it. He had noticed the two chunnin backing up and getting in a position for a final blow. They took Grey for a fool if they had thought that would hit him. Toshin had had enough of this and even if he was given orders or not he was going to stick up for himself. At the moment he couldnt care what Kazu told him. Grey had to think of a plan nd fast since the chunnins fist were closing in. "Kawarimi No. Jutsu" he had said in his mind. Grey had set up a substitution at the perfect time when the two chunnin were an inch away from his face. The two chunnin had hit the substitution and had wondered were Toshin had went. Grey was in the mid-air getting ready for his final blow. Looking up both of the chunnin stood in fear of what was coming at them. Grey had to fist ready to punch them bith from mid-air charging down the medium speed. When thr shinobi was extremely close to the chunnin he was stopped. Something had got in his way and he didnt like it.

    He had desperately wanted to hurt the two chunnin for what they had did to his beautiful face. Grey had soon calmed down and thought bout happy things, to prevent himslf from doing serious damage. Tishin had had many openings to damage the two chunnins it was just that the orders of Kazu went against it. From this little experience Grey had learned that sensei's are not always right about everything but, they always try to help out when they can.

(I will post the jutsu soon, my phone wont allow me to copy it for some reason)

The small 'kitten formed Kazu' would remain perched atop the earth pillar. His crimson orbs would dance in it's socket allowing full vision off every event that took place affront him. The onslaught on his pupil had begun to come to a conclusion, it was so evident you could see his body flung like a rag doll by two consecutive strikes to the jaw. As the two chuunin shinobi began to run at Grey a short second of hope would glimmer in Grey's eyes. Kazu's cat like sense's would easily sense a feeling of raw willpower from his young pupil. As soon as the moment of impact was about to occur a bottle of vodka would be replaced with Grey's body, allowing the glass bottle to take the hit and shatter on impact, causing clear potent Kumogakure vodka to disperse in a violent matter allowing the beverage to splash across the chuunins faces, landing on their exposed eyes thus beginning to slowly itch their eyes. Immediately their eyes flicked back open, ready to strike again only to noticed Grey was no where to be seen. For above them Grey began to come crashing down on his opponents in an assault that he would easily lose.

"Grey had passed." Kazu said to himself whilst releasing his chakra, sending his small at form to return back to his usual state. His blonde hair would be present again with his sun kissed skin and white long sleeve shirt. His body would begin to violently shroud from his chakra pool, allowing an immense pressure to fill the rock pit. His right foot would linger forward allowing his body to descend to the floor, landing right in the middle of the two chuunin and his pupil. His positioning would disallow Grey from doing anything offensive, whilst it was clear on the defensive to the two chuunin shinobi. "Ahh fellas, well it's been fun, so I'll see you round? I'll definitely be seeing your wives that's for sure." A chuckle would be heard from the gold haired kanetsu as he his body would spin simultaneously to his comments allowing his right arm to wrap around his pupil and kick off the ground, concentrating chakra to his feet the young shinobi would walk across the stone wall's before fleeing toward the Iwagakure Hospital.

It was finally the end to the event and Grey had passed, but of course Grey didn't act 'perfect' and there was a lot for his new pupil to learn. Allowing his pupil to run by himself, Kazu would walk side by side to walk Grey to the Iwagakure hospital. "You ignored my orders, and got beaten? Damn. You pass." His crimson orbs would ponder to the sky. For his new pupil had acted just the way Skarn and Kazu did in their Rock Pit Test. You see the Rock Pit Test was a tradition , Iwagakure shinobi are known for the strong will so this test was perfect for it. "Now that you know how pain feels, you must never let it happen again. If it happens i will personally kick your ass harder." A snigger would disperse from his melotone lips as they arrived at the Iwagakure hospital. "Now go get medical jutsu on your face so it doesn't swell, your face will be fine. But i will see you tomorrow, Fissure Grounds, 6am sharp, come late and i'll circumcise you. Am i undertstood?" After his question the young Kanetsu would walk into the distance slowly losing visibility from the hospital.

~ Exit Thread

Grey had noticed that Kazu had transformed into his normal states, appearing in front of him and the two chunnin. Toshin had no way to attack around Kazu and, even if he tried he had no clue what abilities or strengths that Kazu had so he remained still. kazu sounded like a pervert to me since he clearly loved women that much that he had to see a chunnins wife."You finally decided to come.. Kazu?"Grey would say angrily."You made me get my ass beaten" Toshin stated. All the anger the shinobi had grew in his body had disappeared as Kazu grabbed hold of Grey making him set foot on the ground. toshin could barely walk but, he had to if he wanted to head to the hospital in time.

  As Grey had begun running side to side with Kazu he was shocked when Kazu had said he passed. toshin had experienced one of the weirdest test in his life, a test based on pain. The dark haired shinboi was scared now to feel pain, espically if he got an ass wooping by his sensei. As we went near the Iwagakure Hospital, I entered calling a medical ninja to assit me. I smiled at Kazu so he knew i enjoyed my time and to make sure he knew that Toshin wouldnt be late.
