*Being too preoccupied with flipping through the air, Kado would probably not be able to catch Kota once again wince with guilt as he realized he put a little too much power into that last throw... But at least the Genin had taken his advice to heart and broke his fall like Kota had suggested.* "Sorry 'bout that, but nice recovery! You're a natural!" *He'd praise moments before Kado began his next attempt.*

*Kota remained stationary as the Genin began circling around him while weaving hand seals, though his amber eyes were hyper-focused on the boy. Even with his supernatural sense of smell, the Operative had no way to know if the hand seals were a bluff or not; and even though this was supposed to be Taijutsu practice, he knew it was probably better to safe than sorry.*

*It wasn't until Kado began to throw out his actual attack that Kota sprung to life, stepping forward into a spinning dodge. The Kaguya would feel his attack graze Kota's side as the Chunin moved past and behind him, before the sudden rush of air from a back-handed fist stopped an inch from the side of his head lightly blew his hair to the side. Kota let the shock - and lesson - of the almost counterattack set in before dropping his hand onto the boy's shoulder and patting it.* "That was clever addin' hand seals to your feint! Wasn't sure if I was about to block a fist or a tornado." *He'd remark with a chuckle as he circled back around to face Kado, flashing the Genin an impressed smirk.* "You got some great instincts, just gotta work on honin' 'em."

*Kota could smell the acrid scent of sweat building on the Kaguya, and while he normally worked out to the point of exhaustion himself, he had learned that not everyone shared his level of enthusiasm and wanted to make sure he wasn't pushing Kado too hard.* "You good to keep goin' or do you wanna take a break?"

Kado was satisfied with his hit, even though he only grazed the Inuzuka. Being a genin and actually managing to hit a chunin was impressive, in his eyes, especially with his feint he had performed. Though the celebration was short lived as he could literally feel Kota's fist right next to his head. That was a close call. 

The genin wiped some sweat from his head as he let out a laugh, genuinely enjoying himself. "I'm primarily a wind release user. I figured I looked real enough to feint with it." He offered the Inuzuka a toothy grin before tucking his arms behind his head. "I think if I keep going with you I'll end up sleeping here tonight. Can I count on you again for a lesson in the near future?" He generally training with this chunin and next time he'd expect a kidnapping by ninken.

*Kado's joke got another chuckle out of the Chunin as he gestured his ninken over.* "Sounds like we should stop here then. Even though we've pushed the Kaiki back to the Frontier cities, you probably shouldn't be nappin' outside the Nichikabe. Way to give it your all though! And yeah, 'course I'd be happy to tutor you again Kado! Next time you want help feel free to come by the clan compound."

*Kinmaru would happily trot up to the duo, circling around Kado before settling next to the Genin, while the silver-furred Ginmaru put herself at Kota's side. Hopping onto his almost horse-sized ninken, he'd lean his head back towards the village.* "How 'bout a ride back into the village? Maybe to Nichiraku's? My treat." *Kinmaru would bark in agreement to lunch before leaning into Kado.*

```tuuuutoring!!```

Jin stood beneath the sweltering sun's rays, staring upwards at the morning sky. The very air blurred at the potent heat of that day, scorching the dirt beneath his feet. He raised his hand to provide shade for his eyes as he glanced around.

He had a tutor scheduled before, and, as he stood beneath the heat, almost regretted his choice of time and day. Despite that, he pushed on, awaiting his assigned tutor. After all, the heat was nothing — nothing compared to the burning scarlet he awoke to, that fateful night. 

Jin shook his head, distracting himself from the thought. He fanned himself with his hand a bit, tugging on his light, but nonetheless hot, clothing.
