Magic Fun Time {Private/Invitation Only}

Niiro had returned to the land in which he had just taken over; he figured that this would be a good place to train his new student. He had found an open area that was cleared for some odd reason, so the only thing that was around here really was the snow that fell from the sky as well as the snow that was on the ground. He looked around and noticed that the only trees in the area were the trees that were surrounding the open area; not a single tree was in the open area, nor was there a rock. He figured that the two would find this place to be an excellent area to train. He stood there and awaited the arrival of female.

Kasumi never stopped following the man who would guide her to become better than what she was. The skates now gone from her hands as she walked up beside him waiting for his orders. Violet/blue eyes pierced those of a whitish blue, her eyes filled with determination and a will to learn. She wore her usual attire, but as she stood in front of her Sempai Kasumi removed her headband from her neck and tied it around her forehead, her white bangs falling over it's metal frame. Kasumi was not sure of what to expect, and whatever he had in store for her she would be ready for it, or at least that is what she told herself in her mind. A few deep breezes of wind blew her snow white hair around before it settled down around her shoulders and back in a messy pattern. A thought she always ignored popped into her head, something her father told her when she was young. " You have long hair like your mother...You should tie that up when fighting...It could be the death of you...." Her father's words echoed through her mind, muffled and calm. She didn't know why it did but as it came it faded and standing there in front of her sempia she waited.

Niiro looked at the girl as she arrived near him and it would seem that the skates that she was carrying not too long were gone. He had no clue where she put the bladed shoes, but it soon became irrelevant. The reason why there were here was simply so that he could train the girl and get her stronger so that when it came time that they would have to fight someone that she would be prepared. He didn't want any weak members in his group simply because they would become a liability to him. He looked to the young girl and said to her, "Have you heard of the Clone Technique? It's a basic E-rank skill." After he said that he made one which appeared in front of him. He nodded to the clone, then it dispersed right in front of them. He cracked his back and said to her, "I want you to make five clones of yourself." After he said that he had cleared a spot on the ground behind her so that he could observe her while she worked at the technique.

The Clone technique, now that took her back, to a time where she tad younger and dear old dad was still alive. A time when she had little worries and a spark of happiness to her. With the slight nod of her head Kasumi hands wove the signs needed for the technique. As soon as she was done from her body five clones of herself emerged. The long,thick white hair and two-toned color eyes with a stern gaze on them, all looking directly at Masuta. The clothing matched the originals down to the tee, With the real Kasumi in the middle of the clones the only one with a slightly odd look on her face as if to say " I wonder what this will teach me? " She had already mastered this technique and even had the Water clone down packed, maybe he wanted to see what she was capable of, or maybe he just needed to see what he was working with.

After seeing the girl create those few clones, he smiled, he was glad that the girl was capable of doing something of little stature of that. He stood up and said to her, "Good, good. Now we can move on to the next step." Niiro then performed a few handseals and created another clone, but it was nothing like the first one that he had created; it was a little bit more complex. He and the clone that he had created had looked at the original Kasumi that was standing in the center of the other clones. Niiro then looked to his clone and his clone to him; they both knew what was about to happen now. The real Niiro quickly unsheathed a katana, and in that unsheathing he had cleaved the clone in half, but there was something odd about it. When the clone had dispersed, instead of turning into a cloud of smoke, crows flew from where the clone was. Niiro looked to the girl and said, "Since you already know the concept of a clone, I want you to make a Crow Clone." He showed her the handseals for the technique then sat back down. Looking up to her he said, "I want you to continue to make those until you get it right, so that means that you will have to destroy each clone that you make until crows fly from it." After he said that he sat back and watched the girl.

A small smile came to her face when Masuta complemented her on the childish feat she had just preformed. A small sense of " I did it " Came over her and she felt just a tad smug. But there was more to the training as she watched him preform a few handseals, different from the original seals she had done to produce the Clone technique. So of course when Kasumi looked at the clone that stood beside her Sempai with the same snow colored hair, and his dark white/blue eyes she blinked in curiosity as her gaze met with theirs. She said nothing when the real Masuta unsheathed his katana and swung at the fake, but her eyes widened slightly from it's gaze when she saw crows instead of smoke. Now Kasumi knew very well that there was something different about this Clone when she saw her Sempai's hand seals, but she didn't expect it to be a crow clone. After the little demonstration of the handseals he had done before he gave her an order to create a crow clone herself. With a small nod of her head the attempts began. Her first clone was a failure as she punched it in the face, a white cloud of smoke appeared instead of the clones. A small frown came over her face as she prepared the hand seals again, but once more smoke. Over and Over she tried and tried, her frustration becoming apparent. But just as she was going to give up on her tenths clone, something happened. Back smacking the clone prepared to see smoke, her eyes were met with crows and this startled her a bit. Looking over at her Sempai she smiled weakly. " Done..."

Niiro watched as the girl had attempted to make the clone over and over and over again; at least she was determined. He knew the effect that this technique had, so every time that she had attempted this technique her chakra was probably being cut in half with each one which wasn't good at all. When she finally created the Crow Clone he knew that she would be able to use this technique later on during her fights. He wanted to teach her another one of his techniques, but looking at how she had smiled at him he could tell that she was pretty weakened from that. He figured that it would be best if they were to take a break and head back to the Land of Iron; maybe by then the girl would have been able to regain enough chakra to learn a second technique from the Jounin. He stood up and patted the girl on her head saying, "Good job." He turned away from the girl, back in the direction of the Land of Iron and started heading back that way. "Come on, we'll come back to finish your training when your chakra comes back up some." He cracked his back and walked back to the Land of Iron.

Feeling his hand pat her on the head and the good job that followed with it, Kasumi was proud and happy to have a rest. As she followed her Sempai a small grumble came to her stomach and she had realized that she had not eaten in quite some time. " Can we stop for a bit of food Sempai? " Her voice calm but steady, she continued to walk behind her Sempai, thinking of the future to come.
