Shun let out a sigh, shaking his arms loose as he approached the entrance of the Byoin. He was excited to see his old instructor again, though he knew his absence in active training would be a question he had to face at some point. He held the letter from the Fifth Hokage in his hand, hoping it would be enough despite the change in leadership their land had in the midst of his private training. He greeted a few familiar faces upon entry to the Byoin, a small smile settled on his lips seeing that everyone was doing well for the most part. He requested a private council with his soon-to-be personal trainer, given that he was handed over by the previous Hokage herself.
Shun was led to a room, and he settled himself into a seat, requesting that the help bring them a serving of tea as well. He played with the end of his ponytail idly while awaiting Nao’s presence, eyeing the note on the table where he had placed it. I hope he’s been well as well, Shun thinks to himself. It has been quite a few years since he last saw his teacher, so there’s no telling what antics he’s gotten himself into. The moment Nao entered the room, Shun was quick to present the letter to him. "Hello, Nao! I have the letter from a few years back, I know you said we would get started the week after I first showed it to you but I took a long break to prepare myself quite a bit more before coming back. I wasn't ready then, but I am now." Shun spoke with a new air of confidence, his eyes drifting up from the letter in his hands to look at Nao. Upon first sight of his injuries, the letter slipped from his grip. "Good lord, what happened to you?" he asked, his focus completely shifted from the initial reason he had appeared today.
