Ryuichi sat atop a building in the Seki district with a flashing neon sign saying 'Karaoke + + +!!' that illuminate the surrounding night sky. His legs were dangling over the edge of the building, and his sharingan were active, slowly spinning as he took in the environment. Funny how the world moves forward at such a steady pace. Everyone has their own life, their own families, their own jobs, hopes, and dreams. This includes Eiji...
His team mate, and respected partner who had leagues of potential beyond what Ryu could muster. He very well knew this....he could see it plain as day. Ever since he watched Eiji, and Aya fight he could see her. Never directly, or when he wanted, but whenever his sharingan was active he could swear he saw a woman looming behind Eiji with six arms. Though, whenever Ryuichi attempted to see her directly and she left his peripheral vision, it was as if no one was ever there...besides Eiji, anyways.
That's why Ryu had called him to this building. He had borrowed a few tools from the ANBU HQ with permission. If this training session was successful, then the white haired boy would be able to tell what was going on with Eiji. Why he gave up during his last fight, despite being very much into it. Was he nervous? Strategically thinking? Stupid? Well, Ryuichi's bet was...He was holding back.
The boy saw a blur of slightly tinted blue chakra at the corner of his eye, knowing Eiji must have been close....or perhaps another nin making their routine night watch? Regardless, Ryuichi prepared himself by picking up a metal rectangular box that stood beside him labeled with the kanji for 'Restraint' (眕) on it's longer sides. It was time to really push the limits.
