Fukai
D-rank
A man stood in a field, his long white hair and flowing scarf wavering in the gentle breeze. His chest was pushed out and his head held straight and high. A breath, in and out, his chest rose and fell. His weight was easily balanced on the balls of his feet. Standing straight and tall, the large figure created a striking silhouette against the yellow and blue morning sky. He had to prepare for what was coming. What it was exactly, Fukai would not be able to tell you. It was something called the Chuunin Exams...
The wooden staff that forever accompanied him would slide into his left palm from the holder on his back. The purple eyed man blinked away his glazed look and took a long deep breath of the bitingly chilled air. It woke his brain up when the air stung his nose and throat. His fingers ran along the tired oak, remembering the familiar notches, scars and groves. It was about to have one last big adventure it seemed. Holding the staff in his hands, out in front of him, Fukai began to rotate it in circles while practicing the monotonous steps of a drill. He would be required to have had warmed up for his meeting today. Step step, swing, pivot. While he danced the genin settled down into his thoughts. He often let his mind trail like this, letting his subconscious take control over his actions.
It had been after one of his latest missions. His usual supervisor had taken him aside and told him that he had been chosen to represent the village of Iwakagure in the upcoming exams. She had told him about how the 'higher ups' had taken notice of his diligence and excellence and decided to bestow him with such a large honour. Fukai didn't quite know how to feel. To participate would mean travelling across the land to Kumogakure no Sato, the village hidden in the clouds. It was true that he had gained a craving for exploring what was outside of his own village and yet.. He wasn't sure about it. He was also not sure on why he wasn't sure. Could I be scared? Not much phased the large male, but the thought of the unknown did give him a little bit of the shivers. He had felt his own strength fill out his body, a completely changed man from where he was a season ago. Regardless of any lingering doubts, he had locked in his resolve to this challenge.
The man he was to meet this morning was his clan head Karumo Sekuro. He had not seen his friend for quite a while and would not again until he was back. Two nights ago he had stopped in at his house to see how he was going but his dark haired friend was out. So he had left a note telling the young man to meet him out in the grassy fields of the western park morning after next. He was the lone figure this early in the morning, his panting and light sweat rose off his body into a steam cloak. This get together was not to be all casual, Fukai had some new skills to show his friend. And after that last mission, he had something to prove.
