Gin
Retired
Fear wasn't something that the Kazekage felt often. She was never afraid for herself. She knew that a time would come when she would have to die and leave this world behind - be it alone at home or during battle. She had come to accept that fact, which was why she lived her life to the fullest, basically doing what she wanted to do whenever she wanted to do it. But along the way, there were certain things and certain people that she had gotten attached to. Them, she couldn't bear to lose. And with the new responsibility that came with being Kazekage, that feeling extended to the entire village. She was meant to be their protector, their leader. It wasn't something that she took lightly, despite appearances. For this very reason, Gin found herself climbing to the peak of a mountain in the outskirts of Sunagakure. She headed to her personal training room - one of the perks that came from having the title of Kazekage. She didn't know if the place was initially meant to be a training room. All she knew was that it wad a wide enough space and sturdy walls that would keep the room from collapsing on itself if things got serious.
Gin haphazardly wore her Kazekage uniform, throwing the haori on as if it were a cloak, using it to protect herself from the wind and sand that often got in the way. She tried to remember where it was again that this place was. She had hardly ever used it. So now, facing a fork in the road, she paused before remembering to head right. Only a few minutes later, she came across the hidden entrance and stepped inside. Her footsteps echoed within the room, which was otherwise dead silent. She could her her breathing clearly. Now, if only she had somewhere where she could play music or something along those lines. She made a mental note to get someone to install a speaker system in the room and smirked. It would be her own personal touch - a gift for the Kazekages to come.
The young Kazekage threw her haori haphazardly on the ground, along with the black scabbard that designated her as her clan's leader. Such things would only get in the way of her training. It had been a while since she had last trained her ninjutsu skills, since the young Kuroka always relied on her swords and weapons. However, she knew that such things weren't enough sometimes. And with the new and unknown threats that the shinobi world was facing now, Gin couldn't help but feel nervous. She had only recently been named Kazekage. She knew she wasn't as strong as the other village leaders that had been in power for years, now. And if someone could kill the Mizukage so easily, she was sure she wouldn't stand a chance against his assassin. So, she thought she might as well do something about that power gap. Gin walked to the center of the room, the sounf of her footsteps still echoing off of the walls.
Gin cracked her knuckles and began concentrating on how her chakra flowed through her body. She would do some basic exercises first to warm up. In other words, she would run several laps around he room's walls and ceiling, using her chakra to prevent herself from falling to the ground. After that, she would practice her wind jutsu, though she didn't really have a target in mind. Maybe she could make a clone or something along those lines. The Kazekage shrugged. She would get to that later.
