quest for my eyes.

[Ronno]

---

My entrance into the small ship town would be a swift one, showing the guards the mission scroll they would offer no resistance as we entered, and would actually guide us to where we needed be. I admired the city in all it's glory, for this had been the first time truly visiting the capital. The buildings were elegant, and the civilians were as lively as ever. They took little notice to us and continued with their daily lives, surely they had more important things to do.

Trekking closely behind my escort, I would arrive at our destined location. It wasn't a grand battle arena or anything of the sort; it was a simple battleground, large enough for me and my sage to fight comfortably without worrying about space. Noticing the large men standing outside the arena, only one thing is for certain. This is diffidently the place were I would find my master. Someone old and wise to teach me.

The people who guided me in would then leave me, leave me to myself, maybe to my thoughts. Just then the light were off. I became cold- I shivered frigidity. Waiting to hear another human's voice. Until then, I was alone.

It would take a little bit before the female soon seemed to make her appearance on the scene- Where in the place he would have probably expected some kind of old, cripped man, he had the luck of having a slim woman teach him for today- She would arrive on the scene a few minutes after he had, her short form gracing the earth that she stepped upon. Her figure was quite tanned, her eyes a sparkling blue, and her hair a strange shade of blonde unlike most of her Sansutsomu brethren- But it was what placed her apart, and despite this, it was her skill that truly stood out. Walking along freely, she wouldn’t blame him if he thought that she was just a passer by- But her genetics, obviously of the sansutsomu nature, would surely cause him to notice who his teacher for today had.

”Yo, I’d heard that you needed someone to help you with your eyes? I’m no optician but I know a hellova lot about your eyes!”

Her down to earth nature was shown easily through this as she then gave him a hearty laugh, both of her hands on her hips as she’d do this. As for clothes, she looked quite noble for someone of her bottle-dyed hair colour- Traditional clothing was worn, covered with patterns of the sky which she got her name from- Oh, that’s right- Her name! ”I am Sansutsomu Aoi, I will be teaching you today- I swear, I’m not an old crone. What’s your name?” with more humor dispersed from her very pores she would give him another laugh before ceasing, and then taking a good look on him- Her own eyes in check as lightning crashed through her very lenses, her gaze piercing the guy’s own feeble eyes- She had heard that he had prowess in clan techniques, but his eyes..

..Needed work.

And that was where she stepped in. With her gaze still locked on him, she’d wait for an answer. Of course she had all of the time in the world as it was a day off today from her usual duty about the place, and she had agreed to teach him- Wanting to become a great elder of the clan some day, she had been asked to offer her abilities about the place- This would be the first of many.

The woman with the tanned skin appeared she must have been in her mid thirties. Much younger than I had expected. She was quite the charmer and light hearted. She was very different from the sensei's I have had in the past. She would soon surpass them all. I looked on at her. "Hello, I am Sora Akimoto." I said bowing slightly placing the palms of my hands on the tops of my thighs. I used not my surname, but the name I tend to go by. Hopefully the Aoi wouldn't be offended.

"Now, If you don't mind. Let us begin, I am stressed for time."

I said curtly placing myself from my bow and into the upright position. I was prepared for anything.

It was only a few moments afterwards that I learned of his name, Sora.. Whatever it was. I didn’t care for the last part- He was lying- It was obvious, and my sensor abilities in check, the flux in his chakra easily showed through. But I wouldn’t point it out to him, as that would be cruel, and he was probably thinking that he was being so clever by saying that name- Dismissed! ”Really?” she would ask in regards to his name, toying with him, before she would then settle down to business- The guy seemed quite unrested for a boy of his age, and she would simply look onwards and pout, as if she wasn’t too happy with the way that he was going so quickly along to learn it. She’d take her time; Just in spite of him. And for fun.

"Now, If you don't mind. Let us begin, I am stressed for time."
”Oh don’t be such a misery-guts, these techniques take time, you can’t just go ahead and BANG! Learn it. It’s impossible- You have to put your heart in to it.”

This lecture having been given to him she would then go on to learning him, she closing her eyes for a few moments before opening them again as they bore a lesser version of the eyes that she had just showed him- Being quite talented at the art she could easily change her eyes from variation to variation, and this time she’d be using the C ranked version, which was easy enough to learn in her own mind. Of course, different people found different ways of learning techniques, so she just hoped that her own way of learning it would be suited to him. He seemed quick on his feet, hasty to get to the next best thing, or to whatever was waiting for him some other point in time- She would keep him for as long as she wanted; ”Hohohoho..”

But. Anyway. With her mind now concerntrating on the technique that she was about to teach him, she would go onwards, and begin to explain the mechanisms of the eye itself. ”Right- I assure you you have basic knowledge of the eye itself- If noone’s taught you up to now, then that must suck. So- I’d like you to close your eyes for a moment- Sit down, and clear your mind.” was this an order, or just something that she wanted him to do? It was hard to tell, but it sounded more like the former. If he wanted to learn how to utilize his eyes to the extent that he could, he’d need to start at the very bottom- Which was where she was currently starting off. By starting him off with the basics; To clear his mind of all diversions, it would allow him to concentrate fully on the technique that she was showing him at the moment.

”Clear everything out except for the tone of my voice- I’ll speak as gently as I can. Concentrate simply on you, me and your eyes- It’ll prove as starting point for you.”

I would then wait for the little brat to sit down, and close his eyes.

The woman obviously was not fooled by my guise, but make no mistake I did not want to trick or humiliate her by lying. It was only used out of convenace not mischievous thoughts. She looked at me suspiciously, lying to her was not a good way of starting off the pupil and teacher relationship. I must have struck a nerve as she answered back with a quick tongue. Aoi was smart and quick witted, she had the characteristics of his mother. She had passed a while ago. "What ever you say."I still would act nonchalantly to her.

I looked to the woman across from him for guidance, instead she laughed. This was going swell. She asked if I had any prier Knowledge of the Sansutomu eyes, sadly I did not. My parents and I were the only people in Kirigakure who were blessed to wield such a powerful kekkei genki. I smirked at her, only guessing what she probably though of me, a young brat who was coming to her for help.

I sat down on the ground as instructed. I lay sprawled out with my knees up and my hands behind me. I closed my eyes and cleared my mind. Something not easily done for a young man my age. I tried at having total control over my thoughts and feelings. Her mood seemed to change she became a bit more cold and rigid. Less jovial and sarcastic she was just seconds ago. Aoi's personality was now very much different. I can't believe I had failed already. This time, before giving a small sigh I closed my eyes and left my mind empty. I sat their in the center of the room. Waiting for the voice I had become familiar with to speak in such a way that I could hear.

It did make her feel good that she was being listened to- Coming from a family of two other sisters she was the middle one, the one that not many relatives took much attention to. So to be teaching someone and them listening in return- It was something that she enjoyed to simply look at. Not to say that she was young- The blonde was at least 27 years old, but she was pretty, and regained her youthful complexion even in the dull weather of Kirigakure. She seemed to shine out among others in a crowd due to her hair, and her eyes also being quite striking against the chocolate tan of her skin. But despite this, he eyes was the most loved part of herself from her own opinion- The way the Sansutsomu ways fuelled through them in battle, she loved using them, and by teaching this kid, she was hoping her love for the eyes would be transferred to him.

These eyes of hers would watch as he would sit down, she picking up on the threads of chakra that naturally poured through him- He was able to use each of the elements that she could, so they were easily detectable amongst the chakra in his body. As this was now done and his eyes would close, she would begin to teach him once more, starting truly from the start as she would approach him a little bit, before sitting down in front of him herself- Her height, being short, would cause him to overtower her by some degrees, but she didn’t care all that much. She was the teacher in this situation, and if he didn’t respect her, then to hell with him! Hohohoho!

”Now- To begin with. Your mind should be closed off, as I said; I want you to imagine the deepest seals imaginable- Think of the waves as they rock against the ships and the tides as they glide majestically over the water’s surface- Think of how beautiful it is- This will be your first step towards gaining the eyes-” a pause would occur so that she could intake a breath, and then she would go forwards to explain herself even further; ”The eyes that you will be learning will contain the wrath of the seas themselves- The storms that overpowered many ships in its time. Imagine Sora, Imagine” Aoi would speak these words with unceasing passion- She was truly a follower of her clan, and it made her proud to call herself a Sansutsomu- So why wasn’t he the same?

This would be a question that she wouldn’t know the answer to- But she’d bug him about it later.

He left in a hurry. He realized it wasn't the right time for this experiment. His eyes would have to wait another day.
