Day 5~

"Kenjutsu training once again."

Training.

Simple, yet excruciating. Sounds hard, but really it's not. Still a little hard, though. Depends upon the work ethic he puts in. Jurou thought this, many times. As his father told him: "Quiet your mind; yet, calm the storm. Drown out all disturbance. Put your body in an eternal resting. Then when you are done resting, open your eyes." He remembered every word, every phrase, every sentence. His father and grandfather were true mentors when it came to Jurou's training, simply removing one's body from all else and stay in one place, relaxing the mind and stay true to what your movements predicts. The Osada were meant to be shinobi's that kept things at a mellow pace; both hot and cold (water at freezing temperature, 32 degrees Celsius.) That is why Boil Release was created, to let off steam when the emotion of anger is at a high rate. All of this talk and thinking about the past had Jurou in a state of mind; a state of mind that precedes to be stated, "If you train in silence, everything will commence perfectly." That was the life lesson he learned from his father and from his father' father: Calm your body and free your actions.

Upon entering the Underground Cave, one thing for sure that it was dark. No light support or anything. Shifting his gaze in all directions, he came across seeing a torch on his right side. The torch was lit perfectly, good. Using the torch as a light source to guide him, he looked at everything commenced in the Underground Cave. A place where civilians mine for gold and such. Nothing too original. What was unusual to Jurou was the big arena he saw below. Jurou wondered what plan the Mizukage was going to have for the Underground Cave, but a lot of labor work was being processed in order to look for precious materials. Maybe they might find his father's sword, Soshin. Maybe not. Who knows? Surely not Jurou at that. His only concern was the size of the arena; looking fairly huge in size. It was a good place for his training. The question that remained on Jurou's mind was: Who was he going to train with? The answer, simple. His fire clone again. From where he was standing to the arena was a good leap downward. Jurou took the initiative to push himself forward and sprang upward, diving downward to the arena. In a mere matter of seconds, he landed on his feet as the lighting was already on, giving him good sight. He placed the torch on the torch holder on the far left and took a seat on the arena floor indian style.

He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, drowning all distractions, quieting the storm of negativity, and calming his mind full of positivity. Sighing while doing this excercise, Jurou opened his eyes as he got up from his seat, putting both hands together infront of his mouth, "Fire Release Shadow Clone." As the shadow clone -infused with fire- came from the cloud of smoke, the clone took a couple steps away from the original Jurou. Feeling his wakizashi sheathed horizontally behind his lower back hanging by a rope, he swiftly unsheathed his sword. Cutting the air with swift elegance and grace. The sound of the blade slicing the air made an eerie sound; music to his ears.

Time to give another technique a try. The fire clone swiftly dashed toward Jurou as Jurou just waited. As the clone came close, Jurou swiftly switched his style from a normal hand grip to a reverse hand grip for defensive maneuver. Jurou then swung his sword in a blocking manner, having the light from above reflect from the sword and bounce from it, hitting the light to lock on the clone's eyesight. The angle of the blade stayed where it was as the light became brighter, suddenly blinding the clone. The clone covered his eyes from the pain, leaving a blind side open for Jurou. He swiftly dipped downward so he could not be seen and switched his style to normal hand grip and proceeded upward for a quick and precise slash attempt.

Blinded from the light, the clone did not see the slash attempt coming, and fell for the attack, immediately bursting into flames on impact. The flame got on Jurou's left sleeve as he padded his sleeve in a medium rate to get the fire off of him.
