The universe had a list of different rules that it enforced on everyone within it - These lists included things like the laws of motion, gravity, and the law of universal manipulation. It was sometimes claimed by the intelligent sides of society that this was why humans had become so obsessed with law making and the keeping of order. They saw that things had logic and order to them and thus wanted to emulate them with their own actions, causing the obsession with keeping everything nice and normal when they were forming society. However, with the laws of universe, there were things that broke those laws, such as Schrodinger's cat and the very existence of a proton. Just like those things, the laws and regulations that the human race tried to enforce upon itself were broken by a few people.
Those unfortunate people who either found it impossible to live within the law and order of the human realms or simply found it pointless to do that were usually discriminated by the rest of society, either feared or looked down on as if they were some form of rabid animal. However, just like the scientific anomalies, they refused to budge their stance and were only going to change if they were physically forced to. This was true with the people who were currently inside Iwagakure, whether that be because of their loyalty to their organization and to their friends, or whether it was simply because they found themselves unable to continue being loyal to those they were forced to be loyal to. Either way it worked, the town was filled with so many social outcasts that people were almost made into outcasts because they weren't what people would normally call outcasts. The place was filled to the brim with criminals and scum.
One of said outcasts was the person that was currently flying through the airspace just above the city, running down over the casual pedestrians. Gen was used to being the outcast, despite the fact that he had only recently become a criminal he was still being used to being a pariah. He had lost the right to be part of his clan a long time ago, being forced out of the tribe for crimes that he hadn't even committed, saddled with a psychotic alter-ego that had a way of getting him into trouble wherever he went. However, that being said, Set was coming on in leaps and bounds since they had arrived in Iwa. Where he had been little more than a genius psychopath back in the tribe, now he was 90% genius and 10% psychopath.
The proof of said pudding was the meeting with the leader of Blue Rose. They might have argued frequently during the meeting, but he had kept his cool all the way through it and had come out on top simply from using his words. There was something comforting and enigmatic about that, not to mention the fact that they were working as members of Blue Rose now which gave them a certain amount of protection from the underworld of Iwa. Plus, they had basically gotten to keep their little forces so that was a bonus to them. Sure, their forces were working for Blue Rose as well, but they were also curling up like good little puppies for set and he was sure that they were loyal to him first and Aoi Bara first.
Such were his thoughts as they flew through the early morning air of the village. Since they had gotten into the village they'd had to try and work to get themselves stronger and stronger, something they had never been in so much pressure to do before they had arrived in Iwa. Normally they would have simply enjoyed the life of people who were able to travel around the world and have fun, but since they'd gotten here they'd found more and more trouble and that meant they needed to get stronger and stronger or they were going to get in trouble. One thing that they had learned above all other things in the time since they had been forced out of the tribe was that they didn't want trouble. Trouble was awkward, or sometimes life threatening. The one thing it rarely was, however, was good.
With that in mind, they were going to be training the things that they had been lax in recently. They had recently been training the suiton chakra that lay dormant within Gen's body, but now they were going to need to concentrate on training Horus. He was a good bird, a strong bird, and he always tried to do his best even if he was an arrogant tosspot at times, but whilst that was true he was currently one of the weakest pieces in their entire business. Since they were actively working as mercenaries now, they needed to get better. Horus would have, of course, been offended if they'd handled it in those words but since they were able to use some tact they were instead going to be able to be more pleasant than simply yelling at each other how much of a failure they were. It was this very reason that they were flying through the city today rather than walking.Well, that and they loved the feeling of the wind embracing them.
The city might have been pretty large, but it also had some rather tightly packed areas. those areas tended to be residential, and so it was with some care that they used this area to train. See, if they were able to boost his skill in reaction times, then they would be able to make him stronger over all. The best way to do that was an obstacle course. The area around here was only just large enough for Horus to fly through when he was right in the middle, so to do it any other way was dangerous. What was worse was that they were moving at high speeds over the area, getting the eyes of the people who were down beneath them.
