[b][i]1 on 1 Session[/i] A collab between AlterNathan and Mr Nim. Fujiwara Takeshi and Hatake Tora. Summary: Takeshi and Tora have their one on one session, so Tora will get to know her student better and vice versa.[/b] [hider=team Tora, private session 2] Takeshi woke up early this morning. He would have his one on one session with Tora-sensei today. He was not sure what to expect of it but he was sure it was going to be good. Takeshi followed his usual morning routine. A bit of meditation to improve his chakra control as he did every morning as well as showering, eating breakfast and cleaning up after himself. After he was satisfied he left the house, still way earlier than he was told to arrive at the trainingfield. Instead of hurrying, Takeshi leisurly walked to the meeting spot, still arriving earlier than the note said but he saw Tora-sensei was already there. [b]"Good Morning Takeshi. I hope you had a good rest."[/b] Tora said upon hearing her student approach her. She was reading a small scroll and folded it back before putting it away in her pouch and looking at him [b]"You arrived a bit early. I hope this session wasn't making you nervous."[/b] She said and gave him a smile. [b]"Ohaio"[/b] said Takeshi. He was about to add 'Tora-sensei' to that but the words got stuck in his mouth. He nodded at Tora-sensei as she asked if he had a good rest. Takeshi smiled back at Tora and shook his head as to answer he wasnt nervous for their session. He cocked his head ans blushed a little bit, he wished he was a little more talkative. He was often called blunt or outright anti-social but he was none of that. He was actually quite social and liked the interactions with other people, but talking... talking just was hard for him. [i]Probably because of my past[/i] he thought. [b]"Follow me."[/b] She suddenly said, motioning to him with her hand as well to come as she walked in the direction of a tree which had a target marking on it. She moved to stand a bit to its left and then looked at Takeshi [b]"While we talk, I want you to try and hit the spots I tell you. It might be a bit difficult at first, but I am sure you will catch on with ease. As well, I want to hear you properly, so you need to speak loud and clear. Now, prepare your kunai and tell me why do you think you managed to get the first bell."[/b] Tora said, moving to lean on a tree next to her while carefully watching the marked tree. Takeshi did as he was asked and followed Tora-sensei quietly and without asking. Takeshi listened to the explantion she gave him and nodded in a rsponse that he got it. He took out a kunai. hitting targets would be rather easy, he had a keen eye and a strong throwing arm. He was quite the marksman. He did cock his head a little when Tora-sensei said h needed to speak loud and clear. He always spoke loud and clear, just not with many words. Takeshi pointed at his feet [b]"Webs!"[/b] he said and threw the first kunai, missing the middle by an inch. Then he pointed at his chest [b]"Fastest!"[/b] he said and threw the second kunai, hitting the most inner circle on the board. Nodding, Tora took out a small notebook and pen and wrote something down [b]"Next time, wait until I tell you to start throwing. You didn't notice that I only said to prepare, not to start throwing, nor did I tell you to where."[/b] She said and moved to remove the two kunai from the target and then moved back to the spot on the side [b]"Hit the line seperating the middle and outer circles of the target, and answer me this. Why do you think you are the fastest, when it could be proven wrong? What I've seen was that you got lucky, and had the right Kakashi trapped by the webs. This time say more than a word. I want to hear you speak, not shout words. Anyone can shout words."[/b] She added and wrote another something down in her notebook. Takeshi was a little hurt by the words of his sensei. He mumbled a barely audible [b]"gomenasai"[/b] as she removed his kunai from the target. He took out another kunai and threw it up and down in his hand a few times, spinning around in the air. Well, he did had the right Kakashi, that was true but he reached the clearing way before Naoto, just a little tired while she was exhausted. Kumoga was spiining webs so he actually was the fastest and got the bell. Takeshi furrowed his brows and forced closed his eyes, he tried to speak but not a word came out. His mouth was open but there was no sound. He opened his eyes, all emotion gone. The light in his eyes dissappeared completely, his arms limply at his sides. He looked at Tora-sensei for a moment in silence. In a monotone, but clear tone he spoke [b]"Kakashi's paw was stuck in the web and I was the fastest one to get it"[/b] and without looking he threw the kunai right on the line before he closed his eyes and staggered, falling to one knee... Watching with raised eyebrows, Tora thought for a moment that Takeshi didn't quite get her question before seeing him fall on his knee [b]"Oi!"[/b] She let out before approaching him and kneeling [b]"What happened? If you have a hard time answering in full sentences, just nod. I just wish to help you talk more properly so you could communicate with your team better. Its something vital. And that is a much better explanation, by the way."[/b] She said and looked at the target. The kunai hit exactly where she told him to. He was a very talented marksman alright [b]"Can you stand back up properly?"[/b] She asked. The first thing Takeshi knew after force closing his eyes was the surprised 'Oi' of his sensei. He nodded at her question. And stood up, he regained his balance fairly quickly, his eyes back to normal. "Past" said Takeshi and pointed at his mouth while shaking his head. Then he followed the gaze of Tora-sensei to the board, noticing he didnt had the Kunai in his hand anymore, as he remembered. He saw the kunai stiking out of the board on the exact spot Tora told him to hit, but he did not remember throwing it. [b]"Okay then, we will work on your communication slowly and carefully. For now answer me with a single word, like you did before."[/b] She said as she watched Takeshi stand back up, seemingly fine once more. Standing back up as well, Tora took a couple of steps away from Takeshi [b]"Hit the upper edge of the target and describe Kumoga to me in one word."[/b] She instructed him, hoping this time he won't fall down again. She then raised her small notebook and wrote another something in it before looking back at her student and giving him a reassuring smile. Takeshi smiled at Tora-sensei and was happy that she was having and understanding for his problem. this time the question was easier than hitting the mark [b]"Spidergirl"[/b] Takeshi answered in one word and threw the kunai missing the spot by around 1.5 centimeters. [b]"Smart"[/b] he added with a smile. Seeing him miss by a bit made Tora let out a small sigh [b]"Close enough, I guess. Now I have a slightly bigger challange than before."[/b] She said and moved to stand closer to the marked tree before placing her arm in front of the target [b]"I want you to throw two kunai and hit above and below my arm, without scratching it. And tell me, if I told you to make a plan which related to interrogating a mercenary and then disposing him, how would you describe the plan? Handsigns, single words, write on a scroll. Tell me what way would be best suited for you."[/b] She said and waited for him to throw his kunai. Takeshi blinked and looked at her arms in front of the target, either she was brave or had enough confidnece in his markmanship. Takeshi took out two kunai and held them in the same hand. He thought about her question. Would he be better in intorrogating and enemy or disposing of an enemy. Well, he would knew what to say to an enemy in form of an interrogation, but he did not know if he could say it. He did know how to silently kill a man and hide him on a place noone would ever find the body so he chose for the second. Takeshi threw the kunai simultaneously with one hand, hitting the board above and under her arms, staying clear of it, not even touching the fabric of her clothes. "Disposing... Tora-sensei" he said. Takeshi sat down and grabbed a kunai. from his other pouch he picked a few shogi stones. each representing one of his teammates and himself. He drew a square on the ground with his kunai. A shogi piece representing the enemy in front of the two representing his teammates and the one representing himself in the corner. Smiling, Tora was impressed. Most people would've had a hard time concentrating with her arms in front of her, but he just proved to her that he can remain calm at such a situation. She then took all of his kunai out of the target before approaching Takeshi and sitting down next to him, watching his plan in progress [b]"So you would draw it to them. Thats very fine. Alright, so, same situation as before. You need to capture, interrogate, and then dispose of someone, as quickly as possible, meaning that you can only give one role to each person. You have Kumoga and Naoto with you. Who would you assign to what role, from your initial experience with them?"[/b] She asked and waited to see what he will have to say. Takeshi rearranged the Shogi pieces. Lining up himself and his teammates while writing the role behind the pieces. He started with himself with sisposal anf then tought a couple of moments before writing down capture behind Kumoga and Interrogate behind Naoto. Although he was not sure of Naoto being good at interrogating, he was quite sure that Kumoga was better at catching them. he tapped Kumoga's piece. [b]"cuz webs"[/b[] he said simply. then drawing another square. the one of the enemy in the middle and kumoga in front of it. then an arrow from th enemy moving away from kumoga. the pieces of his and Naoto he placed next to the enemy and drew an arch between them. [b]"Plan"[/b] he said and drew the word capture where the lines of the arch and that of the enemy arrow crossed eachother. Looking at the way Takeshi described his plan, Tora smiled. It was just about the same as Kumoga planned it. All she needed to see was Naoto next. She patted Takeshi's shoulder [b]"That's good planning. I figure you placed yourself at the disposal due to not being able to question someone properly. That is a good thought."[/b] She said and took another stone [b]"Now I want you to tell me what you would've done if I told you that the target is being guarded by someone. You still have the same three people, but you are allowed to have two at the capturing step. Would you add someone to aid Kumoga, or leave it the way it is?"[/b] She asked, sounding interested. Takeshi smiled at the praise of his sensei. As he picked up the shogi pieces again. putting the Enemy on the same place, turning the piece around to indicate he was guarded. Then he turned to tables by placing himself end naoto in front of the enemies and Kumoga in the path of his escape route. It was about the same plan, but then turned around 180 degrees. Then the thought occured to him that he only had two at the capturinf step and removed naoto's piece. He rumbled to his pouch and added four behind his own and four in front of kumoga. He pointed at four new pieces at his side [b]"clones"[/b[ he said, then pointed at the pieces closer to Kumoga's piece [b]"webs"[/b]. Takeshi would chase the mercenary and his guard into the webs by an army that seemed bigger than it actually was. [b]"Fake a bigger army. Thats smart.'[/b] She said before standing up and putting her hands behind her head [b]"Alright, that part is over. Now, I know this won't be simple for you, but you probably have some questions for me, and I have some for you. On a more personal tone, I mean. I want you to show me something you can do with that special kekkei genkai of yours."[/b] She said, deciding to start with what will be more simple for him and then move to the harder things [b]"If you wish for me to show you a jutsu I know then feel free to ask."[/b] She added and waited to see what will Takeshi choose to show her. Takeshi stood up again and prepared himself. he did know how to use his kekkei genkai, but he did not know any perticular moves which used his kekkei genkai. moves like 'Avalanche' and 'Ice flower' were still too difficult for him. Takeshi quickly formed a couple of hand seals and clasped his hands together [b]"Kousetsu!"[/b]. clouds packed together quickly and it started to snow almost immediatly. Takeshi released the seal and smiled at Tora-sensei [b]"Yuki ta"[/b] (it's snowing). Quite obvious but that was about all he could do with his kekkei genkai at the moment. He also showed Tora-sensei a couple of his other Snow release moves, Yukiton: Koorino kabe: a relatively thin wall of Ice, and yukiton: Yukino Haka: Which made a large amount of snow gush out of Takeshi's hands or the sky, burying the target in the snow. It did not do much damage but it slowed his targets down considerably. Kousetsu also made his moves stronger and the cold did not bother him as much as other people. Takeshi formed a few other quick seals ending with tiger and made the snow stop. then he gestured at Tora-sensei [b]"show?"[/b] he asked, not for any move in particular. [b]"Very impressive."[/b] Tora said , feeling a bit of the snow and the cold that came with it. She nodded when he asked her to show him a jutsu [b]"I might as well go with the simplest ones."[/b] She said, and moved slightly away from Takeshi. Without a single seal, she let out a fairly strong burst of water out of her mouth, which cleared a bit of the snow and also made the ground wet. She then jumped up and once more, without any seals, let out a fairly strong burst of wind, which slowed her proccess of falling down, almost as if she was floating in mid air. After a bit she stopped and landed back on the ground, giving Takeshi a smile [b]"I assume you understand what my natures are."[/b] She said and then motioned to him to come closer [b]"I want you to describe to me to me what you like doing in your free time."[/b] She said. Takeshi smiled at her moved and performed a few of his own in response Toppuu: a relatively small gust of wind. It threw some snow into the air. He also performed a Suiton: Gunshot at the tree with the mark and laughed. It were about the same moves as his sensei but in a weaker version. Takeshi came closer to his sensei and tried to explain what he did in his free time. what was mostly learning, training and chores, since he had to fend for himself. He sat down with his legs crossed, his arms resting on his knees and his eyes closed. [b}"train"[/b] he said. then opened his eyes and took out a couple of scrolls one saying Yukiton: Fuantei no ashiba, a move that would create an Ice floor and the other said Yukiton: Koorino Dangan what besically was a Teppodama (Gunshot) but then with Ice instead of Water. [b]"Learn"[/b] he proclaimed. Then he stood up and pretended to handle a broom [b]"chores"[/b] was what he said after that motion and gestured at Tora-sensei as if he tried to ask what she did when she had a day off. Smiling at the way he was capable of answering without difficult, Tora was glad to see Takeshi had no trouble communicating, even if he didn't speak more than a word at a time [b]"If you'd like, I could help you train and learn those jutsus. I may not have snow release like you, but I can get around how to achieve it."[/b] She said before seeing him motioning to ask what she would do on a day off [b]"Well... I enjoy spending time training or just wandering around the village. I also like hanging out with my friends and relaxing."[/b] She said and then thought for a moment. Would she conclude the session now, or does she have anything else to ask. After thinking about it for a bit, she raised her look from the ground back to Takeshi [b]"I think that I don't have any more questions for you. However, if you have any, I'd be glad to answer you before we end the session."[/b] Tora said, wondering if he would have anything else to ask about her. Takeshi smiled all the way through her explanation and was very glad she wanted him to help en learn those jutsus, it was true she had no Snow release but she had both the Natures that allowed him to use it. He shook his head at her question if he had anything else to ask. He felt that the conclusion of the session was near and let her finish it before heading out home. While he was on his way he thought about his teammates and wondered if they were needed to do the same as he was. thinking back about the session he was satisfied with the result, aside form the part he blacked out, maybe he was more nervous than he thought he was. Anyhow, noting that his sensei wanted to help him leanr the jutsu's was a reassuring thought although that had to wait after the mission. first things first, he had to figure out what to eat for dinner tonight. [b]"Well then, it was a very pleasant session. I will send you a message when the mission briefing will occur. Good day, Takeshi."[/b] Tora said before watching him leave the training session. After he vanished from her line of sight, she turned to look at the marked tree before taking out a kunai and throwing it at the target, hitting it at the dead center. Smiling upon seeing it, she went and took the kunai out of the tree's trunk and then sat down, intending to medidate a bit before her next session. [/hider]
