Strafe Aisu
D-rank
Today was a day of anxiety for Strafe. He was going to take on one of the biggest challenges of his life. He woke up to a gleaming light that pierced the window like a dagger. After rubbing his eyes with his index fingers, he lifted himself to a sitting position on the side of his bed. He had just woken up and was already slightly nervous about today. He stretched his arms behind his head before standing up slowly and walking to his closet once again. He didn't need to look nice today, so he just grabbed his regular attire composed of white and blue. He immediately started putting on his clothes at a slow pace. He then walked over and grabbed his shinobi sandals, putting them on. He walked over to the left side of the room,, grabbing his equipment for the day. First his Kunai pouch which was standard with every ninja. His second item was not as common though.
He then picked up a metal bo-staff and held in in both hands, looking it over and getting a feel for the wait. The Staff of Hurricanes, or so it was called, was a gift from his father that he was presented. While he had never thought about using a staff in combat before, he would not waste a perfectly good ninja tool based on nerves. Strafe switched it over to his right hand and looked around his room again before walking through the door. He turned to his right sharply and started descending down the stairs. He finally made it to ground level and walked around a corner before seeing his mother in the kitchen. He smiled and spoke with love. "I'm heading out to train! Love you!." He said smiling before turning to the door and opening it. "Love you too!." Was all he heard before exiting through the threshold an into the yard of his house. He immediately walked over to the street, only to be met by his favorite comrade, Momaru. "How are you this morning?" The gigantic lion asked with a smile and a soft tone. "Great! Ready to train?" Strafe asked jumping on the majestic creatures back. Momaru didn't have to answer that question, as Strafe already knew the answer.
The grey and black colored lion's paws hit the ground softly as they made their way to the Swamp of Sorrows. Strafe had been training there since he was a young lad, so this felt only right to do. There would be plenty of things to try his Bojutsu on, including who he was riding on. They had talked about it earlier that week. His final test of this training would be a fight with Momaru in close quarters. Strafe's thought process was interrupted by the lining of the swamp becoming visible. It was about to be time to take the next step in his ninja training by learning what close quarters combat is like. The duo entered the Swamp with a casual stride, knowing the place much to long to be caught in the traps of the swamp. Strafe's usual spot was only a few meters in, so it didn't take long to arrive at the small clearing. The area was scarred from the countless training sessions before, showing Strafe's dedication as a ninja. It was time to begin.
