Shusuke had already spent some time with the next generation of Academy Students and has even gone on missions with some of them. Kyoujouran Keniwa was the stone skinned boy that Shusuke taught about balance. While the impecible defense was an asset, unless he broadened his skills some he may end up being too niche to assist his allies in most situations. Aburame Kiriyomi was an interesting child. Despite his clan's proclivity towards their Kikai Ninjutsu he was learning not only genjutsu, but some of the Genjutsu Shusuke's family has passed down. To be completely honest, the two of them were slightly impressive. Slightly.
Today he was meant to meet with the third of their little trio, Senju Akio. While Shusuke couldn't say he knew anything remarkable about the boy, he did understand that he would come with an affinity towards the Earth Stye: Wood Release. Shusuke had a friend that also had access to that style of release, Shida-San, his first Animal Contract.
Sitting outside of the gates that led to the Forest of Death, Shusuke thought this would be a good place as any to help the boy with some of his Jutsu. While Shusuke wasn't the most accurate with his Ninjutsu, he did possess an affinity towards all five of the base elements, and he has already unlocked a couple of Advanced Elements, being Storm and Ink. Leaning against the trunk of a tree the young Yamanaka would wait patiently as he used an illusory dagger to entertain himself as he flipped it in the air and caught it by it's tip. Taijutsu was Shusuke's preferred skillset, despite being a Yamanaka. Turning his gaze over to someone approaching he would respond.
"The name is Yamanaka Shusuke, and unless I am mistaken you are Senju Akio. Are you ready to learn the pinnacle of Ninjutsu? Something that Keniwa-kun and Kiriyomi-kun haven't even began to practice?"
