Uchiha Teru
D-rank
Teru Uchiha had been outside the manor with Sero for some time now. The afternoon was coming, and that meant that it was almost time to go and meet with the guest for dinner. However, before that time could come, the business she and her mentor had had to be finished. Under that blue, clouded sky tinted by the light from the fire, she had to complete the rest of the day's training and fulfill one of the many desires she had in her heart. A short time ago, she had managed to pull herself through a portion of Sero's exercises with some degree of success. Ah, it was just a little while ago when she met with him face to face to undergo this training. They met at the scorched stage on the vast lawn, and he gave her more insight on the power of the flames. At that particular time, Teru was as nervous as she could ever be. She used to be so afraid of what he might do to her. But, the morning had gifted her with so much. It renewed her with a new confidence and new power. Both of which would be used to further improve her as a loyal follower of the Kirigakure way.
The current progress she was making surely was something to be impressed about. Under the Osada's watch, Teru had successfully performed and learned a few new jutsu. It was all thanks to him for that honor. Of course, her intentions with those new techniques would be justified. Protecting the village and carrying out the duties given to her by the village heads. And with that came a title bestowed upon her shoulders. It had a nice ring to it, she thought. Horseman of the Immortal Blaze. With her developing skill in the use of Katon, it would certainly fit well with the young Uchiha. She did not believe that she would be riding around the border of Kirigakure, or through the village, on a horse in the literal sense. Doing that would be silly, she believed. But no, she would be going around as a normal ninja would. The hand of loyal justice would be on her side as she did.
It was the completion of the first part of her life's chapter. So much had happened, and it would be hard to forget. Well, she had no plans of forgetting all of the good that had happened. And so, the closing of the book commenced, only for the sequel to open up. The tales that would unfold and the adventures that would be journeyed through. There was no telling what would come to light, for this next chapter would be just as unpredictable as the last. No doubt, there would be good happenings, as well as profound challenges and opportunities. Why, Teru was about to come face to face with one of those opportunities in just a few more moments. A second wave of training that would lead to her becoming much closer to mastering the flames. Teru was looking forward to it, and she was confident in herself that this too would be another success.
Still on the stage where fire reigned supreme, Teru Uchiha awaited the next set of lessons with much enthusiasm reflecting in her eyes. In some places, fire still burned with an equal energy. It was mostly a surprise to her, having gotten so excited over this training. She wondered why that was, but quickly dismissed the pondering. There was a reason for anything, including her excitement. It would be released by performing in a way that would be considered near perfect. At least, she hoped it would turn out that way. Nonetheless, Teru stood there in wait, to see what else there was for Sero to teach her. And prepared would she be if he was to approach her with any more inquiry.
