Red scarf and blonde hair a stark contrast to the leaf green shirt and black pants and sleeves that she wore. [color=gold]"You may wish to slow your roll slightly my dearest Kuree. We have yet to agree upon terms of this training. Often we Shinobi favour ring out or the first to be upon our backs, though I fear that due to the specifics of both of our skill sets that this may lead to myself gaining an unfair advantage; and that just won't do, wouldn't you agree?[/color] the Uchiha stated bluntly, her demeanour almost instantly shifting from the relative warmth she had shown the Suna native beforehand to the cold harshness that most Konoha Shinobi knew her for. [color=#EFEBA9]"Oh! you're right, I was just so excited I forgot."[/color] Kuree Dropped her stance and scratched the back of her head [color=#EFEBA9]"Hmmm... I know! it's a game we used to play in Suna, but it is very effective in its simplicity, its called Capture the Scroll; we each have a scroll and the goal is to take it from the other person, usually we would play this in teams on sand dunes, but I think Shinobi of our caliber will do just fine on our own."[/color] Kuree said and then checked her pockets only to remember she doesn't carry any with her, she would laugh and say [color=#EFEBA9]"Say... you wouldn't happen to have any would you?! haha"[/color] [color=gold]" I do not, however. This is predicament is most easily rectified."[/color] Ichika responded, before baring her teeth and biting hard onto the tip of her thumb, piercing both skin and flesh before shifting and moulding her chakra into her right hand, slamming it down to the ground, a seal instantly appearing upon its surface. [color=gold]"Summoning Jutsu!"[/color] Erupted her voice from her lungs, causing the heads of the few who were nearby to turn their direction. But an instant later, a small brown otter with a few black markings here and there upon its fur appeared. Sporting a leather satchel upon its back. The Uchiha woman knleed and began petting and fussing over the small swampland creature, cooing it as though it were a child. Reaching into her pockets Ichika pulled forth a few crumbs of bread, feeding them to the otter as she reached into the satchel. Pulling out four scrolls one by one as her summoned critter gleefully snatched up the crumbs. [color=gold]"Will these two do?"[/color] Ichika asked frankly, before affixing one of the four scrolls she now possessed to her waist and continuing. [color=gold] "I presume that this is how the game is played?" [/color]Kuree Was busy envying the chance to pet the cute otter until Ichika spoke to her a second time [color=#EFEBA9]"Um, close. Sorry I should have elaborated further, I was going to do it when I found some, but I will explain now, we only need two, we both have one scroll on us, useually attached on our back, our belt or wherever, and the goal is to take the other persons scroll and return it to their 'base'. So I will draw a circle on my end of the field and you make a circle on your side. So the first person to take the scroll and return to their circle wins!"[/color] without a word, Ichika dropped one of the scrolls on the ground before allowing the remaining two to unfurl in her hands. Revealing an inscription of the word 'sword' briefly as they fell down before the seal lit up and the scroll turned to smoke. With two wooden wakizashi having appeared suddenly, with one in each of Ichika's hands. [color=gold]"From what I have read and what I have been told, I gather that you shan't be requiring one of these. Though please forgive me if I am incorrect. I shall throw you one over if you so desire."[/color] Responded the Uchiha, never once breaking eye contact with Kuree as she spoke. Once she had finished speaking, Ichika awkwardly held both training swords with her off-hand in order to unsheath her weapon before twirling its handle around betwixt her slender fingers and shifting her grip so as to hold the wakizashi by its blade. Upon completing this motion, the otter which had been summond prior timidly grabbed the sword by its handle with its mouth before scurrying off to the sidelines. Seemingly anxious to watch its master fight. [color=#EFEBA9]"You are correct, only thing I need is my body, so long as I have that I'm ready for anything!"[/color] Kuree said after cracking her neck and popping her knuckles on both hands in an attempt to shake her body loose a little. While warming up, Ichika kicked the scroll across the center field and Kuree would bend over to pick it up and attach it to her belt infront of her. Now feeling warmed up again Kuree spotted the Signal gong used for signaling the start and end of the excersise period at the academy, she then picked up a rock and walked to the other end of the center field and with the back of her boot heel drew a circle on the ground with a fast sweeping kick [color=#EFEBA9]"Alright once I ring that gong with this rock, we can begin, and it aught to be enough for any nearby students to come watch.. are you ready?"[/color] Kuree asked as she tossed the rock up and down. Ichika's cold demeanour dropped for a one tenth of aa second as she watched the spingy Suna native ready herself for combat. The Anbu agent had to force the smile that had begun to form on her face away, it couldn't be helped. Ichika could see something within this woman, a great untapped potential just roaring to be allowed out. During the midst of a quaint stroll to her side of the field, Ichika sheathed the spare wakizashi before creating her own circle with the wooden blade of the stil drawn sword. With a huff and a wolven smile, Ichika drew forth her kunai and slammed it blade first into the ground within her circle. [color=gold]"I am sufficiently prepared, if you are ready; go"[/color] Spoke Ichika and with confirmation Kuree grabbed hold of the rock tightly and threw it at the gong from her side, its speed causing the unrefined edges to whistle against the air and upon making connection to the gong it shattered and the gong rung out loudly and filled the feild and the near by area around them with sound [color=#EFEBA9]"Lets do this"[/color] Kuree said with much determination and took her stance inside her ring. [color=gold]"Let us indeed." [/color] Ichika responded, containing the urge to activate her Sharingan as she analysed Kuree's posture. The Uchiha wasn't certain if the Suto even knew what the Sharingan was, let alone if she understood the intricacies of the Dojutsu. For this reason alone, Ichika felt it pertinent to keep that information under wraps for the time being.
