Sand Exploration

## New Suna

A gust of wind would wash over the empty desert, picking up sand that travels through the air and sky. A large cloud overshadowed the sun, covering it and casting a large shade over a large village. The houses were made of sand and sandstone alike, houses that were generations old but seemingly given a restoration to it. The air was dry and the atmosphere was burning hot, yet the villagers were seen happy and joyful. The sound of children laughing and plants hanging outside the many homes and businesses. The sounds of splashing could also be heard: people were gathering their water from wells, people swimming and kicking water up happily on a nearby stream. Where was this? It was the Village Hidden In The Sand or Sunagakure, the newly reformed and now thriving village found in the middle of a desert. This was thanks to many streams that now run through the village by the man made rivers and watering holes that were established not too far long ago.

In a building on the outskirts of the village a trip of genin was seen being instructed. Two young men sat on their benches, resting from a grueling training session as the third of their team was seen engaged. The crimson haired beauty was slashing her way with a katana, with elegant and precise movements but each attack she attempted failed to even graze the young white haired man.

"You've certainly improved little fox," the young tan skinned man declares as he lifts his leg upz catching her mid fall and sending her flying into the ceiling, causing the lady to pop and release a puff of smoke, revealing it was actually a shadow clone. "Your swordsmanship is still at its cap, you need to elevate it."

The young crimson haired genin got back up as she panted a bit before rushing towards the white haired man with her katana ready. Her eyes sharpened, lunging herself into the air readying her katana at her target, performing a downward slash! "This time I've got you!" The young red head shouted.

"Don't announce your attack," the man commented before he sidestepped the quick sword slash. His eyes were locked on as he slid one foot forward, his hand extending out and wrapping his grip around her throat! "Especially when your enemy is much stronger than you. I would think that lesson was something you would've already memorized!" He then tossed the kunoichi away from himself and into a wall!

Poof! It was a shadow clone that turned into smoke as she appeared behind him now covered in a dark red chakra with sharp eyes growling. Her eyes appeared more animalistic than more as her rage boiling over. She immediately charged towards him again this time appearing before him aiming her katana at his throat roaring in anger!

"Oh? Another shadow clone huh?" A cocky smirk grew on his face. "Sorry little fox, but even that cheap trick won't work on me." He said as a pair of arms sprouted from the floor itself, breaking through the ground and tightly grabbed her, pinning her down to the floor! The man before her then popped, revealing this entire training session she was facing off against a shadow clone.

This tan young man, the one with long snow white hair, his vibrant, bright orange amber eyes was none other than the current Kazekage, the Kage who has saved the village and breathed new life into it. He was drapped in a long and highly intricate outfit with black, red and gold colors all over it. He had his hair tied back, skin so clean and prestine that it was completely unblemished. The instructor to this team of genin was, Asashi Giyu.

"I must say you've all grown so much, it does give me hope for this new generation of hidden sand Shinobi. To think not too long ago among the five major hidden leaf villages we were treated as a lesser. But now," he then helped the young kunoichi up. "that's enough of my rambling. All three of you fall into mine if you would."

The red headed genin got up as she dusted herself off then got in line with the other genin waiting for further instruction. Deep down, she was proud she improved but felt she could exert herself a bit more. The crimson haired genin was Koharu Giyu.
