A young Mitarashi twisted and turned repeatedly in her bed, unable to get into a comfortable position, resulting in her fall off her bed, hitting head first onto the ground hard floor. Azaki yawned softly and rubbed her eyes. As she crawled back up on her bed, she glanced towards her medium sized bedroom window, it showed that the sky that was just barely lit.  She mentally groaned. Why on earth was she up this early? She usually slept till well past noon on days she did not have a mission. Oh of course, she had decided to do some training. She looked at her alarm clock and groaned. It was 10:30AM which frankly was too early. Figuring that since she was already up, she might as well get ready for the day and head out.

Azaki hopped off her bed and grabbed a set of her usual attire; heading to the bathroom to do her usual morning routine and finally get dressed. Once fully clothed, bandages and all, she went to her kitchen. She got out some ingredients and went to work making her breakfast which was eggs, bacon, and hash browns. A few minutes later her plate was only left with small morsels. She cleaned everything up and popped some bubble gum into her mouth before heading out, but before grabbing her sword and the sash and equipping it onto her back. If she was going to train, she might as well get use to her new extension of herself.

Azaki jogged through the streets, making sure to stop by one of those tourist guide places to grab a map. It was sad that she, having been in Kumo for a good amount of time, still couldn’t find her way around and had to resort to that. She may have a good amount of patience but really this was getting annoying; though she couldn’t blame anyone but herself. She wondered if it was going to hinder any future missions. Hopefully not, she preferred to get through her mission quick and easy.

She stopped at a children’s playground and sat herself down on one of the swings. No one was at the park except for some old married couple feeding breadcrumbs to the local birds; and some dog running around on its own chasing a few squirrels. She opened up the map, snapping it so it wouldn’t bend which make a flapping type sound. She looked it over carefully and read aloud “Thunder Temple: The temple complex itself appears to be nothing more than a large outcropping of rocks near the far edge-Nope. Sky Forge….Nope, not even going to bother reading that since I have no clue how to forge nor do I want to anytime soon.”

Azaki paused then kept on reading “Battle Plateau huh? Interesting…. Blah blah blah large stone pillar blah blah blah. Oh can do some training and spars?” Azaki read it over in it her head and weighed the pros and cons before she continued “Might as well” She got up, folding the map up and stuffing it in her back pocket. As she passed by the elderly couple waved at her, their smiles heartwarming. She returned it a short bow of her head and a wave before turning away from them and heading out to find the Battle Plateau, with short sprints in between.

It wasn’t long till she found it, especially since it was on a large stone pillar. It pretty much stuck out like a sore thumb. She trudged up to see others already training. It was a few genin teams doing mission drills, a jounin here and there sparing, and a chuunin just watching. Huh, she figured it would’ve been the other way around but no biggie. She didn’t recognize most of the shinobi around her and for the ones she did…well she didn’t bother to speak up to them and majority of time, she had saw them while taking a few walks. Though most of the time her walks were either at night or on rainy days so they would not have had noticed her, nor would they remember her face. She stifled a chuckle when she saw one of the genin fuming about their stump in their progress. His teammates laughed as well through the sensei tried to encourage him.

Turning her attention away from them, she decided it was time to get to work.  She spat out her gum, which by now had lost most of its flavor, into a trashcan not too far from her. Afterwards, Azaki went through a few basic exercises, making sure to get her body prepared and loose; then took off for a 25 laps around the training grounds at a decent pace.
