The crisp night air cut across the rocks with a grinding noise as Shinobu sharpened one of his kunai. He lifted his face to the gusts of air occasionally, he like the way it felt, it made him remember. He let his mind drift back to simpler days when being a Shinobi was still a fun idea....

A seven year old Shinobu sat blindfolded on a grassy hill in the middle of a small park in Konoha. Groups of people rushed by playing games in the grass or chatting while walking pets. An old man slowly made his way in a circle, at random moments he would toss a paper plane towards the young Shinobu and sometimes the kid would grab for it and sometimes he would catch it, every time he even made an attempt though the old man would jokingly taunt him a little. "Be patient boy, you are hearing the movements of the paper but you are misjudging the distance, slow down and take your time, you act like each plane is the first girl you every tried to kiss and scare it away." the old man would chuckle at his own jokes every time, then go quiet and throw another paper plane from a new direction. "Good work today Shinobu, you are making excellent progress honing your senses, now if you can answer my question then I will take you for ice cream as per our deal... How many dogs were there in the park today?"

Shinobu flipped the kunai a few times in his hand before re-sheathing it, smiling to himself he thought "Gramps sure knew how to motivate me, I got that ice cream every time"

Lifting a second kunai from his belt Shinobu began to sharpen it as the winds and scents of the peaceful place brought back more fond memories of his grandfather. It had been a long time since he had really thought about their time together, that little bit of time that he could remember clearly.

Kid Shinobu crept through the bushes of the small park him and his grandfather spent most their free time at, he peered closely at the bushes then snatched at a shape on a leaf. He ran back toward his grandfather a look of cheer and satisfaction as he proudly held the caterpillar he had captured up to the old man."Wonderful, new we can begin practicing more of your senses"The grandfather took the caterpillar and placed it in one of three identical boxes then placed them down on the ground."Now you can see I have shuffled the boxes, the caterpillar is in one of them and I want you to try and sense which one. Try to reach out with more than just your ears of smell, reach out with that energy that rests inside you, that rests in all of us."

The memory faded as Shinobu realized exactly how cold the night wind had gotten, he finished off the edges of his kunai and slipped it back into his belt holster. "Wow grandpa, i don't think I ever really appreciated how much of a part you had in my shinobi training." he thought in a half realization half prayer.

With a fast pace Shinobu made his way down the streets of Iwagakure with a lightness on his shoulders, his springy strides made him remember the time he sprained his ankle as a child. It was one of the first real injuries that he could remember, it hurt so bad to him at the time, little did her know that would be the first and least of many injuries to come.

Kid Shinobu's eyes were red and watery from all the crying, his demeanor had calmed once grandpa had gotten him back to the house and up on the old mans table. The smell of aromatic oils filled the room and the thin acupuncture needles in his leg had seemingly taken the pain away"Good boy, save your energy for healing, can you see where the needle is, right there next to the tendon, you can see if the blood vessel is bulging out then you must move away from the tendon more.

Shinobu chuckles to himself as he patted the small wrapped bundle of acupuncture needles in his breast pocket. "Yes old man, you did make me a better person, and a better shinobi"

For a moment Shinobu stopped in the street, he contemplated the time he had spent as a child, just now realizing that his grandpa had been one of his greatest teachers. Then he remembered the speech the old man had given the day before Shinobu went off to the academy.

"This is it Shinobu, it is now your time to be more than just a citizen, more than just a civilian, today you get to start down a path that will make you a hero to many. Always remember that your strength will come from the people you protect not from the training you complete, you have a powerful soul in you Shinobu, don't be afraid to hide it, and never let it rest when people need you the most. "

"I am sorry grandpa, I don't think I am the person you wanted me to be, but I want to be."

With dedication and determination Shinobu stood in the small practice room at the academy, wearing a sensory deprivation helmet and equipped with rows and rows of kunai and shrunken at his belt. He took deep breaths, in and out, then would try and swiftly reach down and grab a projectile to hurl at the padded wall in the small practice room. A quick slip of the finger caused a gash on his palm as he tried to draw the weapon. "Focus Shinobu, you have been slacking in your training, if you want to be better with projectiles and actually have a chance of keeping your job as a shinobi this is something we have to learn, try again, this time focus on drawing the weapon as if it was like taking a breath, let you subconscious take over." The unkempt shinobi held his hands out to the side and then tried again, this time drawing the kunai out with grace and speed. "Good, now just do that fourhundred and ninety-nine times more and I can go get some dinner"

Shinobu took a deep breath and looked up into the hollow of the dead tree with trepidation, "No Shinobu, don't be afraid, just go for it, this is the tenth day in a row now and you should be used to it by now!" determination took over Shinobu's face and he gave the dead shell of a tree a roundhouse kick, with a solid thud his heel impacted the trunk and made a *thud*. He stood there for a moment and pulled the mesh wire mask over his mouth nose and eyes just as the sounds within the hollow tree started to escalate... *buzzzz-buzzzzzz-buzzzzz*, the noise of hundreds of angry bees filled the clearing of the wooded area he was in, then the swarm started to crawl and fly out of every crevice of the dead tree trunk and assault Shinobu."Ow, Ow, I hope this will all be worth it, ow, OW!"

The whoosh of air rushing over his ears filled Shinobu with peace. The look on his face was one of complex contemplation and gentle relief at the same time. Attention and focus were his greatest allies in this moment, and the tension in his shoulders and hands showed it. As he moved through the rocky terrain his eyes darted to every nook and cranny as if expecting an ambush... then it came, out from behind a rock a pair of senbon flew toward him, with shinobi reflexes he drew his kunai out in the blink of an eye and attempted to deflect the senbon. *Ching, Clank* His twists of skill with the kunai in his hand deflected one of the projectiles but just redirected the other one to his ankle. Reaching down with a frown on his face he removed the singular senbon from his ankle and then began running again. He kept running until the next trap set up by some academy students for him to practice with was found, he waited until the projectiles were release before redrawing his kunai every time, over and over until all the traps were found he kept at it, trying to hone his skills.

Looking at the kunai in his hands Shinobu grimaced then drug the razor sharp edge over the back of his hand. "At least it does not hurt nearly as bad now." The blood started to seep out of the shallow wound and the silence filling the small training room at the academy echoed with a tinge of iron in the air. "Okay Shinobu, keep your mind off of the wound, just clear your mind and let your chakra take over like sensei instructed." Closing his eyes and pulling his head up to a full posture position the shinobi tried to ignore the pain and let his subconscious take control of the chakra flowing through his body. After several moment he opened his eyes and looked down at his hand. "Not completely healed, but it is less than a third of the original size, I will take that as a good start." The grimace now gone from his face he drug the kunai across the back of his hand again and closed his eyes letting reality slip away.

Shinobu smiled as the tenth target finally revealed itself amongst the swinging chaos, it had a silly wig on it and that made him laugh. His sensei could be funny when he wanted too, even if it was a childish kind of funny. "Heh, don't get distracted by the comical attempts at diversion, keep at it and see each target before it pops back in view" Looking back at the medium sized practice field Shinobu started tracking each and every one of the ten targets swinging on ninja wire back and forth behind and between the various rocks. Holding the sawblade projectiles in both hands he began to hurl the deadly blades at each target in turn. *pong, clack, ping, whoosh* "Six out of ten is not good enough Shinobu, come on man, you know you hate getting up close to your enemies, mastering projectiles will help you keep your distance, try it again until you get it right" Over and over the shinobi kept hurling the sawblade projectiles at the swinging targets until it was time to sleep, even then the images of those targets taunted him in his dreams, especially the one with that wig.

Lava Advanced Element Training RP:

Spoiler

The tunnels around the Iwagakure abandoned mine shafts went deep into the mountain, and that was where Shinobu headed to this morning. The blue skies and fluffy clouds were nice and all, but he had found a place down there last week he wanted to visit again, he had felt a cool burning within his chakra since stumbling upon it during one of his long distance runs through the tunnels. This morning started out no different than most others for him, four hours of running, just running to clear his mind and wake up his body. He had been taking his runs into the tunnels and mine shafts around the city, many of which were becoming very familiar to him now.

As the cool air of the dark tunnels brushed by his cheeks Shinbou could feel the ground at his feet getting warmer as he ran deeper down into the mountain. "I knew there had to be some kind of benifit to spending so much time down here, I could have never found a place like this back in Fire country. This will be the edge I need to get myself outa this funk, that nagging in the back of my head is going away." the shinobi rounded the corner with his forehead lamp looking up at the now tall cavernous ceiling. Moving slowly into the large open cavern now he walked around the bulbous curve of a rock wall from what could be called the entry cavern into a seemingly endless cavern that glowed with an orange light. There across one half of the back wall was a small stream of lava that seemed to bubble up here and begin to cool before plunging back down into the bedrock where it would rejoin the mountains network of lava tubes. On the opposite wall a good 300 feet away the cavern wall had a dark sheen to it that played off the light from the headlamp, a natural aquifer from the ceiling caused a constant leaking from the walls into small puddles and trickles.

With a deep breath Shinobu sat down near the middle of the cavern, he put the headlamp on the ground to illuminate the majority of the area and closed his eye. In a calm focus he reached deep inside his mind and soul. "Just feel the flows of chakra, they are naturally strong here, there, there, earth hard and surrounding everything, and there it is. The streams of fire speckled throughout the earth chakra are like a spice in a good dish. Use both now, focus." as he contemplated the shape and nature of the chakras around him the flow of lava along the wall began to jerk and separate, a small strand stood up from the stream and snaked its way toward Shinobu. With his eyes still closed the shinobi reached out with his mind and tamed the snake, it coiled up near the palm of his hand and began to compress. The glowing lava took the shape of a small marble and began to wobble before Shinobu released his breath opened his eyes and the searing hot molten rock dropped to the ground with a fizzle. Without missing a beat he closed his eyes again and another stream began to separate from the glowing river.

Vapor Advanced Element Training RP:

Spoiler

Back in his semi private underground training room, Shinobu stood with his palms up toward what he now liked to call the leaking wall. He looked up and down the soaking wet wall as his feet lay partial in a murky puddle. With a curious tilt to his head the shinobi hummed to himself as he listened to the drips and seeping trickles of cold water along the wall. "Yes, it seems the water coming from the ceiling is purified by the natural filtration of the bedrock, but as it gathers here on the floor the fallen settlement mixes and it gets murky." as he spoke aloud to himself he bent down and scooped up some of the puddle water on the ground, it pooled in his hand looking the color of melted wax. He dropped the water back to the ground then began going through the handseals he had been learning. With a sudden burst one of the murky pools on the ground burst with scalding steam into a cloud of hot dark vapor.

"Ahhhchoo, hhakkk, Oh no this was a mistake!" the man hacked and coughed as the dark vapor choked his lungs. Once he had calmed himself down he went back to the wet wall and started forming handseals again. "Okay so the murky water was horriable, lets see if this purer water make a difference like I think it will." finishing his handseals the walls sheet of water burst into a cloud of vapor and drifted slowly down in a light cascade causing some refraction of the light into rainbows. Stepping forward and taking a deep breath Shinobu smiled broadly, the freshness of the purified water cleared his lungs and cooled his skin. "Hmm so the particulates in the water make a huge difference when combined with fire chakra, the potential combinations of this are diverse." with a newly determined smile on his face the shinobi started pulling clouds of vapor across the room.

Running around the corner Shinobu came across a large open swath of field outside of Iwagakure, it burst upon his senses with astonishing clarity. The young adult shinobi breathed deep and seemed to relish in the smells and sights of the natural landscape. Picking up the pace he kept running, feeling each and every flick of grass in the wind swat against his face and arms, sensing the vibrations of every footstep echo through the rest of the field, and listening to all the sounds the environment had to offer. "This is what makes life great, not the perfectness of it, but the imperfectness, the off beat tempo of sounds clashing with each other, the varying hard and soft spots in the ground, and the small pieces of debri in the air. So much more enjoyable than the illusions we shinobi are able to create. So much more clear."

Squatting in the bushes Shinobu squinted his eyes to focus at a distance. There across the rough terrain near a pile of yellowish rocks sat the small rabbits carcass, he had found it earlier this morning on his run, after completing his four hours of morning warm up running he circled back and came here for a prime opportunity. "Okay, this is a good chance to practice my aim, the smaller the target the better the practice." with a quick toss a small stone hurled from Shinobu's hand to the small rotting corpse, as it hit a small cloud of flies popped up from the decaying flesh and into the air all around the dead rabbit. In a flash of speed small senbon started flying out of the bush toward the flies, one, two, three hits out of the eight landed right in the back of a fly. With a deep breath the shinobi in the bushes took aim again at eight different individual flies, focused and started throwing more projectiles.

Back in his underground sanctuary in the depts. of the Iwagakure mountain Shinobu was standing near the back of the room with sweat dripping down his forehead. His hands were held up and he channeled chakra into the chamber around him with all of his might. He formed a ring of vapor near the floor like a target and reaching deep within his mind he yelled at the swirls of lava beginning to form in the room. "You will obey me blood of the mountain, others think of you as liquid, but I know you are not liquid or solid, you are alive and need guidance like all living things!" arcing his hands together into a formal handseal the snakes of lava at the edges of the room all popped up from their rivers and hurled through the air like mortar shots, most of them landed inside the vapor ring on the floor, a few missed though. "And like living things you might take some convincing that you need to be guided." he turned back to the small streams of lava and began creating more bursts to fire at the target.

Pouring over the books in front of him Shinobu finally went back to the one that he could understand the best. "Teaching for Idiots" With a heavy sigh the shinobi reread the beginning text. "Be confident and clear in your instructions every time, prepare for the best and have a plan for the worst situations. Above all keep discipline and order in your learning environment, be the master of your domain." reading the words for the hundredth time Shinobu put down the books and stood up outside of his small tent on the edge of the city. With a long drawn out yawn and stretch to warm up the shinobi began running, just traveling through the edges of the city enjoying the late night cool air. "bah! keep discipline among a bunch of brats, who do those writers think they are? Will I ever be a good teacher? It sure is better than the alternative, being out there on the front lines of the strike teams, or even worse, like trying to hunt down rouge shinobi as part of ANBU. No, I like my limbs attached to my body and my blood inside my veins, and if I want to keep them that way I will need to serve the city in a way that keeps me safe. Discipline, Confidence, Clarity, and Master my Domain, I can do this, I will be a great teacher or I will not be a shinobi anymore." running now with his head held a little higher Shinobu resolved to craft some of the strongest student any shinobi academy has ever seen.

"Yes, it seems the water coming from the ceiling is purified by the natural filtration of the bedrock, but as it gathers here on the floor the fallen settlement mixes and it gets murky." as he spoke aloud to himself he bent down and scooped up some of the puddle water on the ground, it pooled in his hand looking the color of melted wax. He dropped the water back to the ground then began going through the handseals he had been learning. With a sudden burst one of the murky pools on the ground burst with scalding steam into a cloud of hot dark vapor.

"Ahhhchoo, hhakkk, Oh no this was a mistake!" the man hacked and coughed as the dark vapor choked his lungs. Once he had calmed himself down he went back to the wet wall and started forming handseals again. "Okay so the murky water was horriable, lets see if this purer water make a difference like I think it will." finishing his handseals the walls sheet of water burst into a cloud of vapor and drifted slowly down in a light cascade causing some refraction of the light into rainbows. Stepping forward and taking a deep breath Shinobu smiled broadly, the freshness of the purified water cleared his lungs and cooled his skin. "Hmm so the particulates in the water make a huge difference when combined with fire chakra, the potential combinations of this are diverse." with a newly determined smile on his face the shinobi started pulling clouds of vapor across the room.

With dedication and determination Shinobu stood in the small practice room at the academy, wearing a sensory deprivation helmet and equipped with rows and rows of kunai and shrunken at his belt. He took deep breaths, in and out, then would try and swiftly reach down and grab a projectile to hurl at the padded wall in the small practice room. A quick slip of the finger caused a gash on his palm as he tried to draw the weapon. "Focus Shinobu, you have been slacking in your training, if you want to be better with projectiles and actually have a chance of keeping your job as a shinobi this is something we have to learn, try again, this time focus on drawing the weapon as if it was like taking a breath, let you subconscious take over." The unkempt shinobi held his hands out to the side and then tried again, this time drawing the kunai out with grace and speed. "Good, now just do that fourhundred and ninety-nine times more and I can go get some dinner"

Shinobu took a deep breath and looked up into the hollow of the dead tree with trepidation, "No Shinobu, don't be afraid, just go for it, this is the tenth day in a row now and you should be used to it by now!" determination took over Shinobu's face and he gave the dead shell of a tree a roundhouse kick, with a solid thud his heel impacted the trunk and made a *thud*. He stood there for a moment and pulled the mesh wire mask over his mouth nose and eyes just as the sounds within the hollow tree started to escalate... *buzzzz-buzzzzzz-buzzzzz*, the noise of hundreds of angry bees filled the clearing of the wooded area he was in, then the swarm started to crawl and fly out of every crevice of the dead tree trunk and assault Shinobu."Ow, Ow, I hope this will all be worth it, ow, OW!"

The whoosh of air rushing over his ears filled Shinobu with peace. The look on his face was one of complex contemplation and gentle relief at the same time. Attention and focus were his greatest allies in this moment, and the tension in his shoulders and hands showed it. As he moved through the rocky terrain his eyes darted to every nook and cranny as if expecting an ambush... then it came, out from behind a rock a pair of senbon flew toward him, with shinobi reflexes he drew his kunai out in the blink of an eye and attempted to deflect the senbon. *Ching, Clank* His twists of skill with the kunai in his hand deflected one of the projectiles but just redirected the other one to his ankle. Reaching down with a frown on his face he removed the singular senbon from his ankle and then began running again. He kept running until the next trap set up by some academy students for him to practice with was found, he waited until the projectiles were release before redrawing his kunai every time, over and over until all the traps were found he kept at it, trying to hone his skills.

Looking at the kunai in his hands Shinobu grimaced then drug the razor sharp edge over the back of his hand. "At least it does not hurt nearly as bad now." The blood started to seep out of the shallow wound and the silence filling the small training room at the academy echoed with a tinge of iron in the air. "Okay Shinobu, keep your mind off of the wound, just clear your mind and let your chakra take over like sensei instructed." Closing his eyes and pulling his head up to a full posture position the shinobi tried to ignore the pain and let his subconscious take control of the chakra flowing through his body. After several moment he opened his eyes and looked down at his hand. "Not completely healed, but it is less than a third of the original size, I will take that as a good start." The grimace now gone from his face he drug the kunai across the back of his hand again and closed his eyes letting reality slip away.

Shinobu smiled as the tenth target finally revealed itself amongst the swinging chaos, it had a silly wig on it and that made him laugh. His sensei could be funny when he wanted too, even if it was a childish kind of funny. "Heh, don't get distracted by the comical attempts at diversion, keep at it and see each target before it pops back in view" Looking back at the medium sized practice field Shinobu started tracking each and every one of the ten targets swinging on ninja wire back and forth behind and between the various rocks. Holding the sawblade projectiles in both hands he began to hurl the deadly blades at each target in turn. *pong, clack, ping, whoosh* "Six out of ten is not good enough Shinobu, come on man, you know you hate getting up close to your enemies, mastering projectiles will help you keep your distance, try it again until you get it right" Over and over the shinobi kept hurling the sawblade projectiles at the swinging targets until it was time to sleep, even then the images of those targets taunted him in his dreams, especially the one with that wig.

The air rushed around Shinobus face as he ran through the treetops of the Forest of Death, even at this speed he could see each individual leaf and its gentle creases. With a shinobi's grace he jumped from branch to branch and scanned through the forest looking for something. "It has been a long time since I was in this forest, I seem to remember it being much scarier. Possibly I just have known such scarier things since being here that it has put things in perspective. Pondering the odd feeling of returning to a place after many years away the steadfast leaf shinobi soaked in the essence of the forest as he ran through it. Suddenly a feeling crept up his chakra coils and he turned quickly into the foliage and stopped at the edge of a large forest clearing.

Looking out over the field Shinobu's eyes crept over the small stream on the far side of the clearing. Sliding his vision from the stream he peered at the small bare area around a rock outcropping. "hmm, looks like some old granite and a heavy sandstone layer around it. That is very nice for training, the old and new rocks working both in tandem and opposition." the rest of the field appeared to be gently rolling grass and small to medium shrubbery. Shinobu began to walk toward the center of the field as he observed its entirety. Feeling an odd give to the ground he stopped and reached for the dirt. Brushing aside fresh vegetative debris he revealed the tattered and burned edge of an exploding note. "If this place was good enough for one of my predecesors then I am sure it will be good enough for me." standing back up he smiled and moved to the rock formations as he began pulling ninja wire and over-sized kunai off of his belt.

After a little over an hour Shinobu had tied dozens of ninja wire to kunai and attached little paper kites to the end. Securing the last one with a tight pull he pulled them up into bundles in one hand and began moving around the clearing planting one after another in the ground. When he returned to the rock out crop there were more than 40 small two inch around kite targets floating at various heights around the field. Each one whipped and waved in the chaos of the twisting air. "This is your time Shinobu, your time to come home and be the best possible member of the village you can. No more cowering safe in the village, no more pretending to be contributing. The Will of Fire has been lit in you, fan the flame with your training and dedication." finishing the pseudo prayer he reached into his weapon belt and holsters for handfuls of over-sized kunai and saw blade shirukens.

Hurling himself into the air Shinobu made an arcing flip as a barrage of over-sized kunai flew toward a series of three targets. Swoosh, Fling, Rip. The three floating kite paper targets each were hit, one clean down the center which caused it to be ripped of the end of the ninja wire and begin floating away in the wind. The next projectile shaved just the corner edge of the target leaving it attached to the ninja wire. The third shot missed the paper and twanged against the taut ninja wire. "Steady and focus, each target should be as large as a person in your minds eye, every flick and move anticipated." Reaching down with his right hand he rubbed the sore knuckles on his left hand. The gnarled shape of his fingers showed the many nights of training here in his secluded forest clearing. His hands were beginning to feel the strain and slow from all the wear and tear of drawing so many projectiles at a time, but in return the feel and ease of handling the projectiles was becoming much easier.

Taking his time over the next two week Shinobu returned day after day to train and practice his jutsus. After many long hours he created an Earth Golem and ordered it to hurl rocks at him. Shinobu began countering and attacking the rocks mid air when he came to a realization. "Here I sit barely able to deflect anything from lack of practice and I don't actually use the maneuver that much. Most of my defensive moves are coming from training with taijutsus not my weapon in hand. I need to focus on mastering the use of those jutsus more, I need to be efficient in their use. You can do this Shiobu, you can be one of the best main branch shinobi in Konoha if you train right." Digging deep he began countering each thrown boulder with a wave of projectiles flung on currents of chakra.

Time in the forest clearing gave Shinobu time to think, time to appreciate the luck and fortune he had being a Leaf shinobi. With his head held high he surveyed the training grounds that were now marked with hundreds of projectile divits and wounds. He saw the newly hardened areas where his magma had cooled and it all seemed to fit just right. "This place is starting to feel like home for the first time." Scratching his messy beard as he jumped off back toward the city he looked up at Hokage Rock and the surrounding buildings with pride.

Leaping into the air Shinobu grabbed as many shiruken as he could and began hurling them at the practice targets. Twak, Twing, Twack, each one flew through the air with force, some hitting their targets and some missing. Landing with two bent knees he surveyed the results and almost instantly leapt back into the air. With a furrow on his brow he grabbed even more shirukens this time and flung them out like an explosion. The flood of metal pelted the targets in all manner of directions, every target had been hit multiple times. "Heh, I've been doing it wrong this whole time, I should just have all projectiles out and constantly be refreshing them in my hands.!"
