First Comes Training, Then Comes Friendship

## **First Comes Training, Then Comes Friendship 4-8-16**

Mina: Minage Yuki had awoke really early this day with his mind set on training for the day. Minage quickly got dressed as he was eager to start training for the day. He grabbed none of his ninja equipment before stepping outside to the bright sunlight that was hitting all of Hoshigakure this pleasant morning. Before he started heading down to the training grounds he bent down real low and tried touching his toes, turning his torso from left to right at 10 times each and jumped up and down a few times to stretch and get his blood flowing before eh began his training. Minage started jogging his way to the training grounds at a slow pace enjoying the humming of the birds, laughter of the other children and gleaming beauty of the sun light. When he finally arrived at the training grounds he sat down at a clean area of surface and started stretching little bit more before he runs around the tracks on the training grounds.

Rome: Heriti Rinha woke with a small jerk as he had another nightmare. the nightmares got worse and worse each night. it was as if someone was using a type of Genjutsu on him when he slept. He would be easily taken in by the jutsu in his sleep. If it was Genjutsu he had to find the Ninja responseable, but if it was just a regular nightmare he would have to meditate on why he is getting nightmares every night. he got up, got dressed, and then took a cold shower. When the cold water got on his body he gave out a girlish shriek. he chuckled to himself before washing his body. It took a few different soaps to get the stink of sweat off him. He tried to wash away the horror of his dreams by doing some meditating with the water flowing over his head. He had made the water warmewr for the meditation. He sat there trying to think of happy thoughts. Training with a Kunai when he waqs younger, seeing his adopted mother, Malice, being so proud of him. Since she had adopted Heriti she was more happy. Heriti tried to think of more happy memories, and after a few minutes the horror was gone. Heriti stepped out of the shower, he checked his new shirt for sweat before putting it on. upon finding no stink he put it on. he put on his pants and ran downstairs. Malice wasx there with a on-the-go breakfast wrap for him. Heriti grabbed it and ran out towards the training grounds. the sun was shining over the village. he ate his wrap and then continued on to the traqining ground. Kids were at the training ground staring at this one person. "Hey, kids, find something better to stare at." Heriti says. one kid throws a rock at his face. Heriti catches it with ease. everyone knew how to catch something coming toward your face, or dodge it. Heriti rolled the rock to the child's feet. The children look shocked at his catch. "What'cha staring at??" He asks with an innocent smile. One pointed at Minage and Heriti looked at him. "That's just a ninja in training. Nothing weird about that." Heriti dismisses the children with a look that would scare even his mother, which was very hard. The children run away. Heriti smiles, pleased with himself and walks into the training ground. "Hello." Heriti says. He automatically reconizes his mistake. his Sensei told him to work on his suprise attacks.

Minaa: While minage was doing his stretches he noticed a slight commotion one his left side coming from the other kids that were standing around at the training grounds as usual but decided to ignore it and continue on with his warm up before he got up and went for his run. As Minage was stretching he was thinking about all pig like amount of food he was going to eat at the ramen shop after his training “Mmmm i can smell it already!” he accidentally said to himself out loud by mistake. As soon as Minage said that out loud he heard “Hello” and noticed a young child as himself that he does not recognize standing near him with a smile. Minage slowly got up as he swiftly finished one last stretch and look at stranger. “Hello there” at this point Minage sees no headband on the young stranger that he does not know of “ Hey are you a ninja student?” Minage asked politely.

Rome: Yes, I am." Heriti says. He smiles. "Those kids were staring at you and saying mean things, so i scared them off." he says, still smiling. Heriti starts to stretch. when he comes up he doesn't see a headband on the other boy either. "Are you a ninja student too??" Heriti asks. It was an honest question. He starts to stretch again. After ten of the swings and five of the arm stretches he looks up. "Do you want to train with me??" Heriti asks. "I wanted to work on my speed and my sensei said to work on my suprise attacks. For that i think i'm supposed to work on scaring people without announcing myself."

Mina: Minage thought to himself after hearing him say “surprise attack”…”Well you really did give me a surprise attack with that Hello of yours i wasn’t expecting it”- Minage slightly laughed while smiling.  “Sweet i would love to train with you! And yes i am also a student of the academy” Minage slightly looked up at the beautiful clear big blue Sky appreciating the cool breeze hitting his body and then said while slowly raising his hand and placing it on Rinha’s shoulder “I’m about to run along thing track would you like to join me?”

Rome: Heriti looked confused as to why the boy did not tell him his name, but He figured the boy would in time. "Sounds like fun." He says. Heriti recalls the boy sayinghe suprised him. "I was goig for a stealthy suprise attacks." Heriti chuckles. "I doubt greeting an opponent would scare them." He gets on the track and begins to run. "Catch me if you can!!" Heriti says. Heriti waited for the boy to join him before running with him. "This is kinda fun, but lets make a wager."

Mina: Minage looked to his side and noticed Rinha running next to him. Minage smiled and said “Lunch? Oh boy i sure am hungry and will surly grab a bite to eat after this, and you most definitely should join me. But” Minage suddenly changed his facial expression and moved his eyes directly in front of him and onto the track that lied ahead of him. “Lets see how this goes first” Minage started sprinting as fast as he could of of no where, pushing his legs forward one after the other really forcing his legs to move the way they did. Minage started feeling a burn within his legs that made them feel as if they were hardening and his muscles were tensing up but did not stop more slow down one bit for the whole track until he hit halfway. Minage shocking himself with his slightly faster speed compared to his last run with Andi “Oh my all that training with that fast strange water drinking ninja really paid off” Minage highly packed with excitement Minage leaped into the air as high as he could at his current state (3 meters) and slapped the tree trunk that was above him “Alright!”
