Nestled along the dunes near the oasis is the dojo an ancient stone building a former coliseum converted by Toraono Kaibudo and his wife Azame into a specially domed dojo; a place of perpetual learning for the martial arts, and combat at its finest. One side was dedicated to weapons more specifically the sword but weapons the other side of the house was dedicated to unarmed combat. A finesse and power that was understandably overwhelming and set for bloodletting. The stone pillars upholding the building were set with skill, chakra, and care to promote maximum stability throughout the entire structure. The dome was added to promote an atmosphere and provide air conditioning in a round-about way through specially placed vents. The floors of special marble in some areas were be-speckled and set apart by floors coated with special disinfected sand that wouldn't infect a bloodied warrior. Weapons racks lined the walls of the second area with meticulous care in stands. On the northern side of the dojo were padded wraps and leggings, for martial arts training. The Toraono Clan Dojo once sat at just over thirty feet in height with an additional ten feet higher in dome. The steps leading up to the main antechamber were an odd sand red marble, brown marble stained by bloodied sand. Six chambers were divided in shapes necessary to provide optimum training in various forms of combat. Two more additions had been made due to the children of the Toraono clan actually becoming full-fledged ninja were dedicated to ninjutsu and genjutsu. The ninjutsu chamber was in an underground cavern while the genjutsu chamber was in a calm hand dug bath chamber irrigated ever so slightly by the Oasis itself and heated by the sun.
A large tower of steel reinforced sandwyrm bone braces against the stone ceilings and crystal inlaid walls on the eastern edge of the Toraono Dojo. This tower was one of the few well known routes to underground oasis. It was also known as the Throne of Bone and resident of the Demonbeast King also known as the Akuma Sennin, Toraono Kuro of the Toraono Clan. Over seventy yards in circumference, the Tower base has three entrances but only one is accessible by the normal residents of Suna. There is one that only the Kazekage’s steward or the Kazekage themselves can use. The other special entrance is only for personnel bearing special seals given by Toraono Kuro himself. Unlike the maw of Baranyx made from the remains of the mad giant sandwyrm slain by one of the Sunahoshi clan. The Throne of Bone was made of several sandwyrms fallen in combat to Toraono Kaibudo, an immortal master of martial arts. Interlocking and interlacing the entire structure are struts, bars, and pins of steel and elementally magnetized iron. In the main tower were a set of chambers for the actual family of Toraono Kuro. One set of rooms belonged to Toraono Reikiko. The set of rooms adjacent her own now belonged to her adopted brother Toraono Naki.
Kuro placed a set of training weights on a rack as he felt his adopted son enter. He turned to the young man and smiled genuinely. Kuro stood at six feet, two inches, weighing in at two hundred and eighty pounds. Kuro’s silver gray mane of hair had a reasonable amount of muscle mass to conceal. With a twenty one inch neck Kuro’s hair couldn’t conceal very much even as it cascaded to the center of his upper back. Violet eyes with gold slits peered from a chocolate brow with large ebony horns growing from where a normal man’s temples would be. He wore a sand tone obi around his thirty six inch waist. The obi allowed Kuro to carry his honor blade in a specialized bone sheath. Kuro wore his battle pouch on a second sash just above his right hip. Adjacent his sacred blade Kuro wore a pair of collapsed fuuma shuriken, and last but not least Kuro wore his leg sheath on the interior of his hakama just atop his fighting gi shorts with his ANBU serum and summon scrolls. A convenient cut in the silk cloth of his left hakama pants leg allowed Kuro full access to his ANBU gear without showing exactly where it was till he motioned to grab it. Securing his anbu arm guards and leggings Kuro covered the runic terran markings of his hand and leg wraps. Kuro’s tail swished back and forth its tiger stripes faintly surging with chakra. His black gi top concealed his overly muscular upper body.
"Welcome to the Toraono Dojo, I am your new father, Toraono Kuro, you are here for training and to be a good brother to Reikiko. I expect you will have alot of questions but first I have 3 for you. Look at this document and answer them when you are ready."
The questions read:
"What do you want to learn?
What do you consider to be your greatest strength?
What is it that pushes you onward?
