The says since he returned always seemed to at the very least, start of the same, Etsuo hoped that statement would remain truthful, as he didn't want thing to change just yet, as he was waking up for the day. The young Yukimura's day started off in his bed within his family's home, however, these days this was more empty than it ever use to be, the place used to be filled with a lot more life, as it held four people inside. It held within itself, a father, a mother, and two sons, one older and the other was younger, the younger one's name was Etsuo Yukimura. Those days of course have already passed, now the house only held a recovering father, and that younger one of the two sons, the mother passed away to an illness that ate away at her, and the older of the two sons died protecting the other one. This was the situation that the small Yukimura family found itself within, as the person that killed the older brother, and put the father in to a coma was still on the loose, they could only wonder if he was even watching them, without them ever knowing about it.

The killer tried to strike at Etsuo twice, both times there was an intervention by another member of the small family, the first time, it was his older brother looking out for him, the second time being his father, that almost got killed as well, if Etsuo had not intervened to save him as well. The young Yukimura always wondered when he would come across that person again, and if he would be capable of finally killing him or taking them down as they so rightful deserve after what they have done to his family. From what he learned from his father, that the killer was most likely after them because of the Yukimura blood that flowed within their veins, because the clan along with them, refuse to share the techniques that they use outside of the family lines. So as an act of envy, people like them decided to go as far as trying to physically and mentally hurt family members of the clan, and some even go further to try to make the clan snap by killing members. It should just how some people were willing to go just to accomplish and obtain what they wanted if they had no morals whats so ever.

Back to what was at hand however, Etsuo began his mornings of course by first waking himself up and getting himself ready for the day ahead, him and his father would typically wake up around the same time in the morning unless something special for one of the two occurred. They each had their own way of getting ready in the morning, but in the end, they would hopefully meet each other in the kitchen and at the table for breakfast, from there, a variety of things could occur, given whatever the day, did or didn't have planned.

There were many different ways that the day could start off for the two Yukimuras, but there were some that tended to be more common than the others of course. To make things simple, if Etsuo had a mission that was already assigned to him, after breakfast that would be the first thing that he would focus on, he would gather his things, that he would need on the mission and be on his way. Whether this mission involved helping a farm recover it's lost animals, defeating so bandits and thieves within the village, or recapturing an escaped prisoner, the way that this went about really didn't change. One exception to this was the day that his old squad had a very important, A ranked mission to deal with, that required them all to be up much earlier than this to accomplish what they were doing, and that was indeed, one of the few exceptions. His father on the other hand, would go on to a routine of practicing his puppetry within the family's small personal training area and room, he had to keep working at it, to recover the skills that he had lost while he was within a coma for a very long time. Afterwards, he would either relax before the small shrine that Etsuo and him had made for their lost family members, or head out and purchase things that they might need sooner or later.

If it turned out that something personal occurred, or he was really needed somewhere within the village, Etsuo's father would leave first thing in the morning, and in the case that Etsuo didn't have an assignment, something like an opposite would occur for them. Etsuo would have himself within the training area, working on a combination of all of his ninja skills, it be for a few hours before he would eventually move on to something else or another. Sometimes after a long session of training, Etsuo would attempt to find some kind of mirror and trigger his sharigan eyes, at times, he would just stay there, studying the odd eyes that he possessed, that he and his father had very few answers for him to have. Otherwise, Etsuo would stay before the shrine that he and his father made for his mother and older brother that would never be forgotten. Finally, Etsuo more recently has been heading out and around the village to socialize with the many people and shinobi that he has or hasn't met yet, with the chunnin exams coming up, it was starting to become a better opportunity, as he was much more likely to come across people traveling from their village to his, which made him do it much more often.

The third option was that the two of them were able to stay home for the entire day, which wasn't something that was rare, it did have a more uncommon consistence, but it did occur a descent amount of the time. In that case, the two of them would most likely find themselves together in the training area, with Etsuo and his father going over puppetry, Etsuo would try to remind his father of the techniques that he has forgotten and hasn't done in a long time, and his father would try to explain to him the more advance versions of the Yukimura techniques that he could recall. Typically these session were much more beneficial for his father than himself these days, but he was glad to help his father regain his knowledge and skill that he had bestowed upon him earlier in his life. Afterwards, once a couple of hours in training have passed, the would go to the shrine for the lost within their home, from there they would discuss things about their family or things they had experience recently, that the other might not have been aware about. Most recently, Etsuo explained to his father how he had made it through the Thunder Grounds alive, and with both of his puppets intact as well.

Finally, there were those options and events that didn't really occur all that often, but they did indeed occur, there was no doubt about that fact.

On the rare occasions, Etsuo and his father would find themselves traveling to the main house of the Yukimura Clan, typically because their presence was requested by another member of the clan. While it was very much true, that they left the main house for their own reasons, the two of them were still fully recognized as members of the clan, and as such were required to answer such calls, unless something of higher importance occurred. However, while only one of them were required to attend to such a calling, they decided they would both go if they were indeed available. Etsuo was in fact actually very glad that they went and visited the main house from time to time as it strengthened the bonds between them and the rest of the clan. They would make their small journey to the main house first thing after breakfast, and try to get the thing that they were called for knocked out, right away.

Afterwards, Etsuo and his father tend to socialize with their fellow clan members, since they tend to only rarely see them, with how often they get called. His father would also take the time to ask and relearn the more advance techniques of the clan's style, so he can teach them to Etsuo, some times Etsuo himself would be involved in it as well anyway. Every so often, Etsuo get caught up in a sparring match with one of the others that are around his age in the main house. Eventually though, the two of them would have to depart from the main house and return home before it gets truly dark they would hope. It was on the return trips sometimes that Etsuo would remember the time, that he was very disconnected from the clan in some ways, while his father was in a coma, the Clan would never send the calls to him, so there was no chance for these moments of happiness with the clan. However, he was glad that they didn't try to take him in and make him abandon his family's home after all of the loses, and the fact that Etsuo's father might have never woken up in the very beginning of things. It was by some form of luck that things held together for his father and that they reached this moment in their lives the way that they have.

Eventually they would reach their home as the darkness of night was settling in over the hidden village, the both of them would head to bed, and some form of the cycle would begin again.
