Kyo had more free time than he was used to these days, he still hadn’t been cleared to return to performing missions due to his minor injury. It was essentially healed and caused no issues due to his previous experience with more grievous injuries, and the ability that his blood provided him. Still, they had wanted him to relax for a while longer, and while normally he would work on his plans, or spend more time in the forest to work with the violin or his voice, one could only do either so much without causing issues or raising suspicions. As such he had decided to dedicate more time to assisting the youth of Kumo, something he did on occasion, though usually those that had no capability with Chakra, as they were always more neglected than those that could attend the academy. Even when the academy had displayed that those without chakra control could defeat a nin with the proper training and knowledge, as demonstrated by the guest teacher that they had brought in for the class they tended to neglect teaching those techniques to their citizens. He understood that it may make enemies, but it would also bring forth the capability for the citizens to resist in a war should one occur, allowing Kumo to be even more secure. Still, he understood that he had a privileged upbringing, with his family capable of training him beyond what was expected and allowed in the academy, which is why he had jumped ranks in such a manner as he had. Most others didn’t have the benefit of coming from an established family or clan such as he did, and they needed the extra instruction due to the way the academy was structured, it helped push them all out with minimal skill needed, and left those that were already skilled or even just at the average alone unless they caught the eye of one of the individual teachers who might take them under their wing. This is why he had agreed to meet with and possibly assist in instructing of one of the students.
Kyo had left instructions for the one he was to be assisting to meet him in Cronopolis, in the same area he occasionally used for storage of his own personal goods, as well as a training ground for those incapable of utilize chakra. The building was rundown, as many in the area were even with the renovations that were currently happening that pushed out the less fortunate and replaced them with those who could ‘gentrify’ the area. People believed that what they were doing was good, helping those less fortunate, but in reality it mostly meant forcing those less fortunate to move somewhere else as they could no longer afford to live in the area, causing just as many if not more issues than it solved. Some might confuse the area for one being gentrified, for it was clean, lacking graffiti and generally quiet, with the people in the area more respectful and standing taller than those one might expect. From the moment the street was entered, one could feel eyes on them, following their movements and a sullen distrust of the outsider. Upon entering the building, they would find that it was mostly clean, with a pile of trash and debris collected off to the side, some obviously having already been taken care of at some recent point. Kyo was standing in the back of the empty space, simply awaiting the arrival of the one he was to train, or the news that the area had spooked them and that they had left area. It was the first part of the training, simply test of courage to see if they would make through the less savory areas of the world and reaching the destination. It wasn’t a particularly difficult one for most, but there were those who had never been exposed to the filth that one would encounter in the Cronopolis, and its human refuse that inhabited the area. When they arrived Kyo would greet them simply with a dispassionate look and a silent nod.

After her last class, Aya was working hard to do what she could to get stronger, with whatever was available to her. Her own upbringing made her have a lack of book knowledge and ninjutsu knowledge. She was well off in the Taijutsu area, though she never knew she was using chakra with her Taijutsu. She could use ninjutsu, it just was not something she was used to, plus she didn't quite know how to train it on her own since boos could only tell her so much. She was pretty much sticking to Taijutsu since it was something she caught onto a lot faster. SHe did know some Ninjutsu, most of it she had to train extremely hard to even use correctly. But at least she was trying to do more than just Taijutsu. 
Aya's question was answered in a way, though she wondered what he meant by little birds, like actual birds, or people? She moved on from the thought quickly as he asked her what she wanted to learn. She took a brief moment to think, what did she want to learn, and could he teach her what she wanted to learn. Her smile was still there, but it was small and almost non-existent.
