Fog troubles me not. (open)

Aisu stood on the edge of one of the Ochiru cliffs, repeatedly pulling the string on his bow back Into the shooting position and letting it go, along with it a black arrow, which more often than not found its way into the tree trunk a few metres away from Aisu. In one rhythmic motion he would pull an arrow from the quiver again, and let it loose into the world like the one before it. People had always expressed surprise when they found that he trained up here, usually exclaiming "How do you shoot up there? I can hardly make out a thing through that fog. " Truth is, Aisu had never found the fog particularly hard to see through. Yes it obscured his sight, but it was still see through. Perhaps it had something to do with the so-called 'Crazy Eyes' that he possessed. However, much like the fog, it troubled him not. He walked to the tree that had become his target post, and removed each arrow from the tree, having to pull hard to release the deeply embedded arrowhead from the tree. His hands were red, looking as though he had cut each finger with a knife, although in reality it was the bowstring that had carved that mark into him. He walked back to the cliff, deciding to take a short break from his repetitive training. He sat on the edge of the cliff, staring into the swirling abyss below him, the one thing that had been there throughout his whole life. The sea never changes, unlike people. It seemed to show more emotion than even the most complicated person.

It had been a while since Tosho had been out for a walk to see the village. In fact he had even had a dream about it just that night before he had woke up and decided to start walking, something that he often did, but before he left his little shack he made sure that he was well prepared for whatever may come his way. Today he was dressed in his usual attire and carried his usual equipment, but his mood was a lot bitterer today, which was quite unusual. The only thing that he could think to explain his rash mood was the fact that he was still a genin and has never had the proper training. It was really starting to bother him. For a brief moment he stopped to watch someone training with a sword on a wooden dummy. “But what can I do?” He thought, as he sighed, feeling slightly depressed and continued to walk slowly through the village.

There were many things in the village to catch the eye of a person. Shops and markets lined the streets and Tosho was usually the one to want to look at everything, but today he was all alone in his head walking around with no destination. He felt alone, but being out and among people made him feel just a little more alive today. He was hoping to get over this funk soon. He knew that he would one day be properly trained, but until then he would have to wait idle, which was driving him nuts. One thing on his mind was that maybe he could find someone to spar with or even somebody to do a mission with till then he would just wait.

Time had gone by quick and he had soon noticed that he was starting to reach the Ochiru cliffs and that the mist was thick. Up ahead he could make out a figure in the mist. He could tell it was human, but the gender and physical appearances where still unknown to him. He knew that these cliffs are well known for their danger. So as he approached the figure he called out to it so that they, whoever it was, would know he was there and not be startled. “Hey, you enjoying the weather, it’s a perfect day for bird watching isn’t it?” Tosho could not help but let his mood pour out in his words with the sarcastic remark, but he had hoped that the person would not be to upset. He also wanted to find out why he was up here all alone, but without asking straight out, because the person could ask him the same thing, but Tosho was naturally nosy. After his voice echoed through the mist and out over the cliff. Tosho waited in silence listening for a response.

Aisu heard the boy behind him walking on the soft snow covering the ground behind him, before he heard his voice. He had decided not to turn, as he did not perceive the boy as a threat. Then he heard the other boys voice, and in one swift movement, turned and stood up from his spot on the cliff side. The person who had spoke was dressed in an exotic white body armour, with a sword on his back. He recognised him, even with the armour, as a member of the yuki clan. That meant that they were family. “Hey, you enjoying the weather, it’s a perfect day for bird watching isn’t it?” They other boys-voice came dripping with sarcasm, all too obviously. Nevertheless, Aisu ignored it, deciding to extend the friendlier hand on this day. "I suppose so, if one was so inclined. I am Kuroi-Aisu Yuki, Although most call me Aisu, among other things. May I ask your name?" Aisu picked up his bow from its place in the snow around him and fixed it into its pouch, instead moving j=his hands to grip the daggers on either side of him. The boy seemed in a somewhat foul mood, and the chance of him attacking was high.

After a few seconds of only hearing the ocean waves slap the cliff walls. Tosho could hear the person’s voice echo back towards him. "I suppose so, if one was so inclined. I am Kuroi-Aisu Yuki, Although most call me Aisu, among other things. May I ask your name?" The boy seemed to just let his remark go in one ear and out the other. It seemed that it didn’t bother him at all that he was sarcastic, although the boy had bent over to pick something up, but Tosho could not quite tell what it was or the intension that it would be used. This didn’t worry him, not even the slightest, so as the boy did with his remark Tosho just ignored the fact that he could have picked up a weapon.

What interested Tosho more was the fact that he had met someone else from his clan and his name was Kuroi-Aisu, Yuki. After only seconds had past since he had asked him of his name, Tosho decided to reply back to Kuroi-Aisu Yuki. “Some people of our clan call me Kiri komo kaze no oni, but most of the time people just call me Tosho since that name is a mouth full.” He said as he walked forward to finally meet the person he was talking to. As he moved forward he reached his right hand out as a friendly jester. “I am sorry if I was a little sarcastic earlier, but I have had lots on my mind.” He continued to say as he waited for the boy, that looked to be much younger than he was, too shake his hand and to be sure there would be peace between them. Since they are of the same clan after all, it would be immoral to attack, but maybe if he could talk the boy into sparing him. He could have a chance to practice and maybe even make a new friend while he was at it.

"You're right, that name is a mouthful, Tosho-San" Aisu's notice that the other boy had said 'Our' clan, thus confirming that the other boy was a yuki, the same as Aisu. To be completely honest, Aisu had never spoken too another member of his clan before, regarding them simply as the scum that had left him abandoned in the middle of the village. He wondered how closely himself and tosho were related. They could be cousins, or Tosho could perhaps be his uncle. “I am sorry if I was a little sarcastic earlier, but I have had lots on my mind.” " It's quite alright, you did seem rather annoyed" Aisu reached forward and grasped the other boys hand, shaking it. He was sure to do it firmly, to give the illusion that Aisu was powerful. This, of course was not true, more than anything he was weak and fast. He stood back and said to the other Yuki "This may sound strange coming from a Yuki, but I myself have never seen the clan techniques. I do not specialize in ninjutsu and have never met another Yuki. Perhaps we could move deeper into the forest around the cliffs, into a clearing so that no one gets knocked off the cliff,and you could show me them?

"You're right, that name is a mouthful, Tosho-San." Said Aisu before he continued on talking and confirming that he was not upset at the fact that Tosho had taken his feelings out on someone he had hardly even met yet. The boy had even met his had with his own and shook it with a nice firm grip. It seemed as if the two may kick it off, but then came a question that Tosho was not quite sure how to answer. The boy asked him to show him a few clan jutsu because he had never seen the clan techniques before. Tosho knew that a shinobi never lets another shinobi know what they know, but on the other hand he was of the same clan and Tosho vowed to become a powerful commodity not only to his village but to his clan to.

So after taking a few seconds to think through what he was about to say next, Tosho spoke up. “Okay, I’ll show you, but there is a condition. I want from you one of these two things; one, If you do not know ninjutsu and I am to show you something of my power. I want you to show me something that I do not know about or two, you can spar me and during that time you can see how our secret clan jutsu works.” With that said he felt satisfied. He Knew that with whichever one Aisu picked he would go home today with knowledge gained.

Tosho didn’t stay silent to long after he spoke his last words, but he knew that he should try and encourage the spar so he quickly spoke up adding a little to the deal. “Oh and if you choose to spar, don’t worry I won’t go and kill you. You are a fellow comrade and I do have certain morals.” Once he was done speaking a slight grin grew on his face. It wasn’t one that would indicate that what he said was false or that he may have been lying, but that he was itching for a friendly fight. He hadn’t been able to train much lately and this would be a great time to do just that. So he stood there with the grin on his face waiting to hear what the boy would choose. “Let it be sparing. Let it be sparing.” He thought over and over again in his head.

“Okay, I’ll show you, but there is a condition. I want from you one of these two things; one, If you do not know ninjutsu and I am to show you something of my power. I want you to show me something that I do not know about or two, you can spar me and during that time you can see how our secret clan jutsu works.” After thinking for little over a minute, Aisu said calmly" A spar you say? Id happily spar with you. I believe i could show you a thing or two. However, we should head inland a bit, so that no-one gets knocked off the cliff and badly hurt. His real reason for going inland was that he could better showcase his speed in an obscured area, however he couldn't say that directly to his opponent. He was looking forward to seeing what this clan that had abandoned him had to offer. He started to walk inland, towards a clearing, and gestured for Tosho to follow him into the dense forest.
