Just as any other day, it was wet, rainy... and wet--the perfect Kirigakure weather. This land was adapted as its own biome to take in the hospitality of the rain. It not only fueled its terrain and environment, but its citizens and ninja as well. Dovy could recall more sun on the shore side, but the rain benefited him well. Most ninja from Kirigakure would also agree, especially since most of them on average are aligned to the suiton element. Dovy wouldn't rather be anywhere else other than the shore side, but avast, he stood at the training grounds awaiting under a tall tree, leaning on it ever so smoothly. His clothes were drenched, everything from his shirt and vest to his trousers. The blonde hair on his head slushed to the right and out of his heterochromic eyes. Surprisingly, it was an empty field. Nothing but lonely training dummies and unhindered puddles. Perhaps this was because it was later in the afternoon. Most ninja train in the morning, and the weather was rather intense. However, it fed Dovy's skin, and he remained standing under that lonely tree.
He was an experienced Genin, and he had already met the minimum requirements to be promoted to Chuunin, however, he did not wish to graduate with 'minimum' statistics, so he withheld his promotion and stayed as a Genin. He wished for more training--enough to make him the strongest raking Genin in Kirigakure. His pride fueled him to out best any Genin in strength, speed, leadership, and teamwork. Hypothetically, if the Chuunin Exams ever came around, he would make sure every Genin there knew that he was the best. Only then, when he reaches maximum intelligence and strength will he proceed onward to the next plateau. If he was ever to rule the seas, the simple minimum requirement would never cut it. This is why Dovy was here. He was awaiting for an arrival. Someone to potentially help Dovy get closer to this goal and exceed in strength.
Recently, Dovy posted a request for ninja to train with; he preferred someone of a higher rank. Why fight a Genin? If one expected to grow stronger, they would have to add more weights than they take on without struggle. Well, one shinobi responded to Dovy's request--Yuzu Ren, a Jounin. There wasn't much of a description of him, which was a good thing. A ninja must always be prepared for the unknown. At last, a challenger, and someone to learn from. Don't get him wrong, Genin can be strong too, but they are still so young and unexperienced. They have not seen the amount of kunai, shuriken, dirt, and blood that these elites have. It was this wisdom and intelligence that he wished to seek, however, his strength was his own responsibility.
Dovy stood underneath that tree patiently with his arms crossed. He knew that Ren would arrive soon at the coordinates to find him, and he felt exited to meet his acquaintance. None the less, he felt confident. Perhaps this day would either strengthen the boys humility, or simply feed in confidence and pride even more. Defeating him was unlikely, yet unimportant. It was about the lesson to be learned. Dovy remained under the drenched tree as rain water dripped off of the tip of his cutlass.
