``` Substituting for 

Shou would be within the jutsu-based training ground. Not somewhere the boy usually spent his time practicing his ninja skills, the boy much preferred to be alone, practicing his proficiency with the spear and honing his body. Either that or aimlessly antagonizing those who came near him. Two of Shou's favorite past times. But alas, today he was here on a *Mission.* A mission to actually *Learn* Some of that jutsu shinobi were known for, not that he was incapable or didn't know any. The boy simply preferred the more *Martial* Side of the ninja way, rather than all that scroll readin', handseal doin' he'd have to do to learn this jutsu.

*Multi-Layered Gale*

A defensive, wind release jutsu that Shou was currently trying to hopelessly practice, he was able to expel the chakra from his hands, attempting to form the defensive technique. However, the boy was struggling, and had not successfully formed the jutsu yet. Which clearly upset him.

Thus, there the boy was. Practicin' his jutsu in the middle of the ninjutsu range, thankfully, there were no souls currently around to bother his peaceful practice time.

*Focusing on his book in his hand, Naoyuki was this time not in his paper form, flying around and learning to master the Dance of the Shikigami technique. Instead, he was reading, trying to understand the jutsus he was reading about in different chapters. He did want to learn one of these, that is why he is approaching the ninjutsu range. Looking up from his book to see if there were other people, he noticed someone else beside himself here. He looked at him, and would smile if that boy would look back. Maybe they could train together?*

*His eyes went back to read the chapter about a wind release technique. He really had to learn this technique, for it looked like a good offensive AND defensive jutsu, thus being very useful in missions with its range. He wanted to learn Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves*

When Shou noticed the presence of the other boy, Shou would instinctively turn to look towards the other boy, his expression one of annoyance. *Why was there another person in his peaceful space?* This was supposed to be Shou time, not other shinobi guy who was smilin' at him weird time. 

"Er. Who're you." The bluehaired boy would ask, staring at Naoyuki with his sharp, yellow eyes. Shou sported a naginata strung across his back, despite the lack of a need to use it. He was jutsu training after all! Still, it was his prized possession and the boy carried his favored weapon wherever he went.

*Looking back up at the boy, he raised his hand as a greeting and quickly took a glance at the page number, before closing the book, just to notice that this shinobi wasn't quite the kind hearted one like Naoyuki was, but that was fine, he thought*

"Hey. I'm Shimura Naoyuki. And you?"

*He said it with a calm and friendly voice, meeting Shou's gaze and eyes with a relatively calm manner. He was here for a peaceful reason. To train. Even though his technique was anything else than peaceful, but eh*

Another *Nice* Person. Invadin' his territory, he'd been here first. Means he owns it, basically. 

"Kugeyama Shou." Full name time, Shou spoke with a rather rough tone, clearly not up for exchanging any pleasantries of the sort with this boy in front of him. Rather, Shou wanted to know what he was doin', and how to get him to leave. For now, at least. Maybe he also had some use as a sparring or practice partner judging from his scroll. Stepping on others to elevate yourself was somethin' shinobi did, after all. 

"...Why'd you choose this place to train." Clearly if Shou didn't notice this guy it must've meant that he'd gotten here *After* Shou right? There was no way the boy had somehow, *Not seen* This guy or somethin'. Only a loser would do that.
Janie
*Sigh. He shrugged and looked around. The place was big enough, so he looked at him again*

"To learn ninjutsu. That's what the range is for. The place is big enough for the two of us, or even more. Just thought that with a partner, training would be more fun and maybe even easier."

*Naoyuki scratches his chin, then put his book away. He got the idea of his jutsu, he just had to do it now. Easy as that, right? Blowing wind, basically, and he already knew how to do that. And as for the stepping on others to elevate yourself, Naoyuki would have to agree and disagree at once, but that wasn't the topic they were talking about right now*
Judy
Shou sorta meant *Why was this boy near him,* But he didn't need to know that. Since instead, Shou let Naoyuki's transgression against his very being pass like the great, generous god the bluehaired boy was and instead focused on the latter part of the other shinobi's statement. 

"Eh.. Training together?" Shou tilted his head, familiar with the concept. Maybe training with another person could help him learn his wind jutsu better? He'd have to see though if this guy was up to snuff. 

"What jutsu are ya tryin' to learn?" He'd ask the other boy, properly turning to face him fully. Now that they were havin' an actual conversation and Shou was beginning to think him more than a weird guy who was invading Shou's private training time.
