Water was not in particular short supply in the land of Iwa nor were plants and down one particular wooded slop a small stream flowed out from the mouth of a ravine. A little ways back from that where the shady tree's came to an end among large mossy bolders a number of small waterfalls, little more then a foot high each, tumbled from the lip of a pool. A cold fresh water spring feed it steadily and stones around it formed interesting piles.
Aki floated in the spring water calmly, eye's closed as she tried to empty her mind and calm her mundane senses so that she could expand the sixth. Most of her training had been geared toward refining her chakra control and execution of jutsu's. A very good thing for a future medic but she felt unbalanced somehow. It was fine to lack much combat ability if you intended to work exclusively in a hospital but she had never pictured herself so confined. Though she was trying to spread her awareness out and sense the flow of energy in the water she didn't actually expect anything to happen.
Before jumping in the water she'd been meditating among the nearby rock formations when the heat of the day had grown uncomfortable. It hadn't been anything near dangerous but had been sufficient to break her concentration. It was difficult to do something that seemed totally fruitless for more then a few hours at a time. On the bank her socks, shoes, gloves and tonfa's said hidden beneath a rock over hang at the lip of the pool that wasn't easily visible. Her senbon had been in a cloth holder though so she still wore them. It would be easy enough to dry them with a rag later and everything else would be fine. Her clothes were cotton and air dried fairly well, something she knew from experience.
