“What are your plans for today?,” Chiyo’s voice snapping Kannon out of the near comatose-like trance that he found himself in. Chakra dissipating from around his form, causing the several tantos, that were floating about, to fall onto the hardwood floor, loudly clamoring. Eyelids fluttered open, revealing a pair of chestnut brown orbs that, for the briefest of moments, were as cold as the winters from what both were used to back in, before warmth return to them. “I do not know. Might look around the village since I did not have time to do it yesterday.”, He spoke, turning his head to the right, looking at his mother, who was casually dressed with an apron tied around her waist, with her back turned to counter, chopping up vegetable of some kind. Unfolding his leg, Kannon stood up from his position in the center of the living rooming and stretched to get the kinks out of his body.
Looking at the bladed weapons lying around, Kannon twitched his finger, causing the weapons to levitate once more, and with another twitch, had them glide into their respective sheaths with audible clicks. “You are improving.”, Chiyo spoke, not having to turn around to feel the fluctuating chakra of her son. She did not see what he had done, for her mastery over the Jiton element allowed her to feel magnetic forces without sight. “Yeah, but still nowhere to your level.”, He spoke, moving into the kitchen to help his mother with the food preparations.
Chiyo chuckled at the hint of dejection within her son’s voice. The actions not being done with malice tent. “No need to worry about catching up with me so soon. I have faith you will eventually reach my level. But, do not rush trying to master something, it is the biggest mistake anyone can make.”, She spoke, removing her hand from the knife, that was still chopping up the vegetables as if her hand was still on it, and turned to her son, who was seasoning the meats that would be placed in the oven. “Mastery is such a subjective term. Nothing can be truly mastered because there will always be new applications discovered. I only say I am a master of it because that is what others have called me. I am far from being a master of the release because, even now, I find new means to use it. A master would be someone who had to find every possible way to use the ability - something I have not. Do you understand?”
It took Kannon a minute before nodding in understanding, “Yeah, just that I want to be strong enough for those who are coming after us.” He confessed, looking at the meat left unintended, and going back to do the finishing touches on it before putting it into a giant pot “Though; I will admit time is not on your side, considering the number of people who would very much like seeing us dead, there is still hope. As long as I am alive, I will continue to train you, and get you to where you need to be to combat anyone.”, Chiyo promised, having placed the cut up vegetables into the pot along with the meat. Washing her hands, once Kannon had, she took off her apron and headed into the living, “Enough about that, how about you go visit Niala. She is your fiance, and you have yet to see her since we arrived yesterday.”, She mentioned. When it came to Niala, Chiyo generally like the girl and her family. Hanae and Genki having helped them out in Suna some time ago when they had to leave their home. They were the ones who helped out the most. It would be the second time Hanae and Genki having helped them out. Even Naosuke respected Hanae and Genki, especially considering they saved his life in the past.
At the question, Kannon blinked, “Yeah, I was planning on visiting her and see if she would like to give me a tour around the village. It would be nice to see her again. It has been a long time”, He spoke, receiving a nod from his mother, as he headed to his room to shower and get dress. Though the two were in the arranged marriage, both of their opinions were taken into consideration by their parents. As for the marriage itself, it was agreed upon to happen after Niala reached 18, and once she is ready for the commitment. At any time before then, if either did not want to be engaged, they could mutually cancel the arrangement. This way, it would ensure all parties were happy.
“I am going out.”, Kannon spoke, receiving a nod from his mother, as he left the house, having showered and gotten dress thirties minutes since their last conversation. Dressed in a dark green kimono with intricate silver designs on it, his swords were tied on the right side with a silver sash. His pink hair was allowed to flow freely. It did not take him long to reach Niala’s house, which he knocked on the door, and waited for someone to answer.
