Akimoto sat alone at his favorite cafe in Tenkaigakure. Before him on the hand carved ebony table was a piping hot coffee that steamed therapeutically. Akimoto sighed. The cafe was empty except for the lone barista who worked the counter and one other customer who sat in the back scribbling in a notebook.
Akimoto leaned back in his chair. Next to him was a series of glass windows that made up the front of the cafe. Natural light filled about half the room leaving the other half to be warmed by the light but not so much lit. The occasional person could be seen walking outside but they would come and go along the long city streets. Akimoto took a sip of his coffee. His sword was unequipped, it leaned against the window and glimmered in the light. Outside Akimoto spotted someone familiar. Is that? Takeo?

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Tenkaigakure could best be described on this day as fairly temperate. The air was warm and moist, but it wasn't sweltering by any means. Takeo had spent the majority of his morning cooped up inside one of the numerous libraries within the city. The chuunin was specifically gathering information on doton jutsu and material written on travel in Kaze no Kuni. Due to being limited on the number of books he could check out, Takeo specifically dumped all of his information on doton jutsu into a bag he had been carrying with him. Stuffing his jacket atop everything in his backpack allowed him to conceal the literature. The three books Takeo checked out all related to travel throughout Kaze no Kuni, and his backpack was currently filled with a scroll or two on doton jutsu and one book. The chuunin had "stolen" texts before from libraries within Tenkaigakure, but he was always sure to return them to where he found them. Takeo cut down a few alley ways allowing him to make it over to a cross street that sat near the hub of Tenkaigakure. If the chuunin crossed through the hub he could cross over to the Kokuun sector. As Takeo crossed over to the other side of the street he began walking towards the village's hub. The street he walked along sat slightly above the heart of the city, but was littered with cafes and run down comic shops...

Akimoto gingerly lifted his sword from his resting place and slid it back on to his back. The others in the cafe couldn't have cared less what he was up to and Akimoto for some reason found it intriguing how he blended in so much despite looking somewhat like an outsider. He quickly finished his coffee before leaving the store to run after his friend who he had spotted in the street. Outside, his boots thumped satisfyingly against the stone pathway. "Takeo!" Akimoto yelled. There was a bit of distance between the two of them, but Takeo was surely able to hear Akimoto's call. Akimoto started to close the gap between them. "Hey heyy~" Akimoto smiled brightly at Takeo when he was close and started to walk alongside him. "What are you up to?"

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." The chuunin's brisk walking pace was easily interrupted by the echoing of his name. Panic initially sat in, but when he turned to view his assailant the teen was met with Akimoto's blue eyes. Of course it's just Akimoto sneaking around, looking for me.... Takeo made sure to reprimand himself for being so on edge, but he had truly let the stolen literature get the best of him. As his teammate approached Takeo pulled his books close to his chest preparing to respond. "I was actually just going to drop off some stuff at my home... I've been working most of the morning," replied the chuunin. Takeo shifted slightly in an attempt to move the sun from his eyes, and despite wearing only his steel mesh undershirt accompanied with pants and boots the chuunin began to heat up.

Akimoto nodded in response to Takeo's statements. "Ahaha, I see... so um... I just got my hands on this new strain..." This particular street seemed desolate enough for some shady business so Akimoto reached into his pocket and pulled a small sack from his back pocket. He dangled it around for Takeo to see, he surely knew what Akimoto meant by strain... then swiftly stuffed the bag back into his pocket. "Hehe, you wouldn't happen to have a piece at your place we could use? My parents aren't exactly forward thinkers." Akimoto despite any real sign of threat still looked over his shoulder a few times while discussing the herbs.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Akimoto was soon to completely change the fabric of what Takeo had planned on doing today. At the sight of his teammate's shared enjoyment with Itsuki Takeo pulled his books even closer. Turning back around the chuunin continued to walk towards the Kokuun sector. "I don't really have any means of us smoking that at my place either, I've still yet to get another pack of cigarettes. Perhaps we could use those, but that honestly feels like such a waste. Our best bet is to seek out Itsuki, but firstly like I said I'm going to drop some stuff off. It won't be too long, my home is close to the inner city border." Takeo was looking to the right and slightly back in the direction of Akimoto when he spoke, but the chuunin soon faced forwards again to push through the streets. Around this time of day Tenkaigakure was bustling, and people here really had no sense of personal space. As Takeo drudged through the crowds he crossed over two streets into a large walled section of the city. A large wooden arch greeted the two chuunin as they entered the Kokuun sector of Tenkaigakure. Takeo only walked down one street before taking a hard left down a side alley; simultaneously, the teen looked back towards Akimoto. With a low voice Takeo spoke, "After we cross through this alley just wait here, I promise I'll be quick." Before even awaiting a response the two came to an alley that sat behind Takeo's family home. His home was gated around much of the back, but the chuunin easily flipped over still holding his books. Due to being on the backside of his home Takeo sprinted to the closest room window. Upon entering the small space Takeo was reminded on the the remnants of his past. Pant scattered the floor and small canvases still remained. Quickly exiting the room Takeo sped down to his bedroom where he gently sat down the books he had been holding for so long and tossed his backpack. Yet upon remembrance of his scrolls the chuunin ran over to his pack. Takeo hastily threw out his coat and grabbed one of the doton scrolls. Shifting back Takeo bent over to pick his coat back up, and here he stuffed the doton scroll. Pulling his coat over the chuunin sprinted out of his room into the backside of his house. Leaping over the fence again Takeo plummeted back into the alley way.

Akimoto followed Takeo to his home through the narrow paths of the city. He waited just outside just like he was asked to and was noticed Takeo's books were gone whenever he returned. He also took note of the fact that Takeo can really just jump over walls. "Nice moves, what was that all about your books are gone now?" Akimoto started to ponder about the duos next move. He tapped his lip with his finger. Hmm... maybe I could get Takeo to do some taijutsu training with me. He is quite scrawny. "Hey Takeo, wanna head to the park and train a little? You could dust up my palms a bit, I promise I can take it." Akimoto laughed. Akimoto started to exit the alleyway toward the central park of the Kokuun sector.
Birds sang out from their homes in the trees as they walked. While it was a moderately sunny day, the canopy of trees that sprouted everywhere on every level of the city provided excellent shade. Shortly they found themselves in the park, a decent amount of people were spread across a massive field of green. Benches lined the stonemason-ed pathways and in the center was a walled off area, likely the arena.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." The teen's abrupt entrance was commented on by Akimoto himself. Takeo laughed ever so slightly before responding, "I've done my fair amount of acrobatics throughout the city, especially here... Also I didn't need to just lug those books around all day. I plan on finishing up my research in the next few days." Takeo's teammate was soon to suggest a new plan to divert time away from his initial goals. "Park? Which park?There's actually quite a few in the Kokuu--" and before Takeo could finish his sentence Akimoto sped off. Pulling his coat up the chuunin was quick to follow, ahh he's going to the biggest park... Takeo had finally realized Akimoto was b-lining it to the central most park in the Kokuun sector which was one of the largest parks in all of Tenkaigakure. It took Akimoto no time to figure out his location based on the park's and take the two there, and Takeo was surprised he didn't have\ to aid at all. As they entered the park Takeo's eyes warmed to the bridges crossing over streams and hills, but his gaze quickly moved center to the destroyed stone building. Looking over to his equally tall friend Takeo spoke in a quiet tone, "You see that dilapidated looking building in the distance? Well apparently a few weeks back someone came into this park in the middle of the night and destroyed parts of the building. This park was a bastion of hope for the original Kokuun finding a home here, and that building was dedicated to that fact. For these reasons it will be perfect to train there, nobody goes there now except sycophants and heretics. Luckily I don't really care to be defined by the social norms that come along with a family name..." Takeo then proceeded to move forwards off of the pathway the two stood upon. Takeo stepped over a small fence onto the grass walking up a hill; furthermore, Takeo soon approached the old damaged building. Takeo of the Sharingan template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

Akimoto followed Takeo to the dilapidated building. The area was pretty isolated and it didn't seem like anyone was around. "Strange place... I guess you know about a lot of places like this since your family helped build Tenkaigakure." Akimoto pushed the broken front door out of the way to reveal an empty concrete jungle. Chunks of concrete littered the ground but the floor was mostly empty. Akimoto cracked his neck and started to stretch his arms and legs. God I just wanna smoke. Akimoto took of his harness, put his sword down, and removed his weed from his pocket. "Alright, go ahead and throw some punches at me, I'll try to deflect the blows with my palms. The leather of my gloves should help a bit." Akimoto stood with his hands knees bent and his arms held a bit away from his torso ready for Takeo's assault.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Takeo's first observation was that of the complete and utter silence within the dilapidated building. The chuunin noticed how Akimoto was soon to prepare, which allowed Takeo to do the same in turn. Removing his overcoat revealed just the simple steel mesh undershirt, accompanied with his pants and boots. The only staple of the chuunin's shinobi uniform that remained were his black leather gloves which both still remained on his hands. The chuunin had done some sealing earlier today, but once he threw his jacket off he was only left with a seal on each hand. Takeo walked away from Akimoto responding, "I've been working out my body more, you'll be surprised if I've gotten any stronger,"As he finished his sentence Takeo whipped around running at Akimoto, and as he approached with much speed Takeo threw a fairly heavy punch at Akimoto's chest. While his other hand was held close to his stomach preparing for a counterattack. Takeo of the Sharingan template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

Akimoto prepared for the impact of Takeo's attack. The anticipation was killing him. Finally Takeo attacked swiftly at Akimoto's torso. Akimoto just managed to deflect the attack by knocking Takeo's arm away with his forearm. Using his now right facing momentum, Akimoto started to turn his body and respond to Takeo's attack with a swift kick. The kick was aimed at Takeo's torso, Akimoto had no intention of focusing on any real weak points during the fight. It was only practice after all. Takeo's free hand would likely be able to stop Akimoto's attack, but would also likely catch Akimoto off guard since he wasn't fully aware of Takeo's plans to counter attack. This single second in this fight couldn't be described any more than it already has.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Takeo's mind was always racing with ideas, especially when he found himself immersed in combat. As his right fist was deflected he quickly pulled his arm in, but Akimoto soon built up much momentum. Fuck he's faster than I remember, we haven't really gone head-to-head like this in awhile, worried Takeo. Akimoto's leg rushed forwards towards Takeo's torso, but luckily the chuunin's left arm was ready. Instead over gaining the ability to spring on Akimoto Takeo used his left hand to catch his opponents leg. Takeo quickly pivoted his body under Akimoto's leg; next, the teen threw Akimoto's leg down while preparing to punch him. Takeo's right fist hooked around aiming for where Akimoto's head would rebound to after his leg hit the ground. Continually, after dropping Akimoto's leg with his left hand Takeo shifted his left hand up to his opponent's right arm. While throwing his right hook Takeo reached for Akimoto's right arm attempting to pull his opponent directly into his punch. Takeo of the Sharingan template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

Akimoto was surprised by how quickly Takeo reacted to his attack. When his leg was pushed down and his arm was tugged out of place, he was definitely caught off guard and Takeo's punch landed straight on his jaw. Akimoto realized that he was in a grapple with Takeo at this point and was in an advantageous position. He grabbed on Takeo's arm with his own essentially trapping him and pulled him into his own attack, a headbutt. Akimoto has come up with this idea before and had described it with more detail in the past but he doesn't feel like rewriting this post so he's just going to end this here.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." The chuunin's calculated punch landed and to his surprise Akimoto tanked it. As the two chuunin locked arms Akimoto quickly went to pull Takeo in. Takeo was sure of his own strength against Akimoto's so he proceeded to pull his right leg up. As Akimoto reeled in to headbutt Takeo his stomach would be met with the chuunin's right knee. Takeo soon pushed off of Akimoto attempting to regain his sight on his opponent. The chuunin wiped his face as his vision returned to normal. Takeo rushed back towards Akimoto dashing to his right, and then the chuunin proceeded to jab at his right side. Pulling his arm back Takeo slammed both his hands clasped together down onto Akimoto's head. Takeo of the Sharingan template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

Itsuki was bored, per usual, and decided to hit the streets with some weed, some rolling leaves, and a lighter. His typical night out. He wanted to relax, so what better place to do so than the village's park, it was especially serene and peaceful at night, Itsuki thoroughly enjoyed his time there. He had been there for about 3 hours, when he decided he was going to head out. However, as he was on his way out, Itsuki spotted his teammates, Akimoto and Takeo! Curious, Itsuki trailed them silently at a great distance, utilizing his Saibougan to it's utmost advantage. He followed them to the abandoned monument to the Kokuun Clan, where he watched the two engage in friend combat, he was very accustomed to this as a shinobi especially considering he and Takeo loved competing with one-another. Itsuki decided to quickly roll up a blunt for he group, before making his grand entrance. Itsuki examined the building, and upon seeing the great opening in the ceiling began scaling it. As he reached to ledge, Itsuki pulled himself over the side and stood up. With the moon to his back, Itsuki lit the blunt he held between his lips, pulled in, exhaled a well-endowed cloud, and yelled out to his friends, "I have arrived!" | Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!!
