Its been another three months since Hozumi has been missing, which of course bummed Aya out greatly and somewhere along the line she just really couldn't forgive leaf for losing Hozumi in the first place and well that's how things ended between them. After the attack, plus all the betrayals that had happened it was clear they all needed to get stronger, mostly since the real threat was their old Head Captain. Aya always did want to fight him, and now she had a legit reason to fight him. She spent most of her days training in the woods as she never had to worry about any damage she might cause, as she would if she trained near the barrack. Kenji helped her train every now and then, and would cheer her up whenever she was too down in the dumps. Of course he was still brutally honest about things, yet it was something she grown use to. And today was no different, she was off in the woods again training.
