**Kanoko had spent a lot of time exploring the unfamiliar Noragakure when she'd moved there, but between classes and the grueling training she had to do just to reach where her classmates had started, it wasn't nearly as long as she'd wanted to. Now that she'd graduated and reached an...*Acceptable* Level of skill, however, she had time to do so.**

**As such, the pink-haired genin had ended up in the railway factory. It was probably the most alien place to her, really. Her village had been so out of the way that no rail lines lead to it, so she hadn't seen a train until she first came to Noragakure. Due to everyone being away for the moment, her hearing was able to pick up the sound of metal on metal, and she ran on over to find the source.**

**The tiny girl peeked around the entrance of the warehouse, furrowing her stubby brows as she looked over towards Ryusa. A patrol member? His mask was pretty scary... But that wasn't gonna stop her. Was he even allowed to be doing this?** "Hey! Are you allowed to be attacking that? What if the warehouse comes down?"
David
*The faint pitterpatter of feet on the ground reached his ears and he shifted his angle of attack. Peering back at the pair of eyes in the dark he raised a brow as she questioned his actions. He smirked friendlily, gesturing upwards at the top of the steel structure*
**"It's not a support pillar - someone just pulled it in here, I think. . ."**
*He said, kicking its base* **"Not even anchored to the floor either. . ."** *He murmered, before his gaze was drawn back to the pink haired wonder*

**"Anyways, what brings you here so late in the night? I didn't expect to run into anyone"***
*Commented the Chunin, holding his kunai-blade at rest as he talked to the evident genin - unless she was just a short chunin, though her chakra signature begged to differ. Perhaps she was just doing some late training like himself? If so he would be elated, it was nice to see others pushing their limits to the amounts that he did*
Charles
**Kanoko hummed uncertainly in thought as Ryusa kicked the pillar. He was a Chunin? He didn't look much older than her... He must be good. And he was using a kunai? Maybe she could get some help from him. Though doing so without admitting that she needed it might be difficult. She hated showing that kind of weakness.** 

"W-Well, I was coming out to explore and maybe do some training. I was actually planning on working on my Shurikenjutsu, and I noticed you have a kunai...", **She replied, looking somewhat pleased with herself. Yeah, that should work.** "Wanna help me out with it?"
David
*He gave a faint hrm as she requested he helped her out.*
**"Shuriken jutsu, eh?"** *He tossed the kunai into the air then caught it again, the wind chakra coating it flickering out of existance like a lightsaber deactivating*
**"Sure!"**
*He said to her, walking away from the post a moment and making a handsign. Several targets were unsealed from his form, dropping to the floor. He began to attach them to the metal column he had just been attacking, before throwing some at the crates and shelving around them - setting up a makeshift shurikenjutsu course

He turned to look at her, twirling the kunai on his finger*
**"So - first things first, do you prefer kunai over shuriken or vice versa?"**
*He asked, throwing his kunai at her feet - it shot and stuck into the ground, cracking the concrete*
Charles
**Wind chakra over the kunai? Kanako had seen something like that before in the academy, from one of their instructors. Something about chakra enhancement? He'd said it was a pretty advanced thing, but she was sure she could pick it up soon. She'd need to work on both her shurikenjutsu and her ninjutsu for that though. And this guy used fuinjutsu? Huh, maybe he wouldn't be so bad at helping her out with this kind of thing.**

"Shuriken are more my thing. They don't make big kunai like they do with shuriken!", **She replied, snapping her fingers as she unsealed some shuriken of her own. Kunai were better for penetrating armour, but she preferred the idea of flinging a shitton of shuriken at someone.** "What's your name, by the way? I'm Kanoko!"
David
**"A shuriken lover eh? I swore once to never teach someone who did not follow the way of the almighty kunai. . .But I'll make the exception for now"**
*He said in a joking manner.*

**"The name's Ryusa - nice to meet ya Kanako"**
*He replied as she eagerly awaited training*
**"Before I start showing you some moves - how about you show me some of yours using these conveniently placed targets?"**
*He said, gesturing at them*
Charles
**Kanako couldn't help but give an uncertain hum. He better not have been looking down on her for preferring shuriken. Ryusa did seem nice, but still, it wasn't exactly easy for the pink-haired genin to let her guard down. She'd have been pissed at him for assuming he could teach her stuff, if it wasn't for the fact that he was provably a chunin. That, at least, humbled her a little bit.**

**But only a little.**

**With the shuriken in hand, she cracked a smirk.** "Alright! I'm pretty good with shuriken for a fresh genin, so watch!", **She exclaimed, before preparing two shurikens in hand and flicking them towards one of the targets. Thanks to his experience, Ryusa would be able to tell it was the Shadow Shuriken technique, and despite her skinny frame, she was able to throw them hard and fast enough to embed themselves in the target.**
David
*Hue - he was just messing around. 
He watched her pluck two shuriken from her storages then flick them towards one of the targets. He raised a simple brow as he noticed how smoothly she implemented the shadow shuriken technique, causing them both to imbed smoothly in the target*

**"Great! It seems you're on the right track. But - to improve your throwing skills, the next step you'll want to aim for is this"**
*He said - in one quick and smooth movement he plucked two kunai from his tool pouch and threw them at two wildly different targets - they both slammed into them on or dead center*

**"You can't affort to waste time plucking tools from your pouch - you'll need to learn to instinctively pull them out and throw them with your best form in one smooth movement"**
*He said, gesturing for one of the targets*
**"Give it a first try and we can improve from there"**
*He said*
Charles
**Kanoko almost snapped at Ryusa for showing off, but... Well, she needed the training, really, and scaring someone away who was willing to do so would be a bad idea. Even if he was actually trying to show off, she could still use that and learn from it.** "Well, obviously I know that! I'm not dumb", **She replied indignantly, sounding offended that he'd imply she didn't realise that.**

**Planning on showing him that she wasn't stupid, she placed her hand near the pouch on the inside of her jacket, lowered her stance, and quickly drew a shuriken. She whipped it towards the target, but released it just a bit too late, causing it to head off towards the side and embed itself in the floor.** "Ugh, damnit..."
David
*He didn't respond to her indignant reply, just gesturing to her equipment pouch, awaiting her action. He was somewhat amused by the retort anyways. With a quick movement and a. . .Wayward throw she gave him something to work on afterall*
**"Hrm. . .
Again"**
*He said - just to make sure what the calls out is applicable and not a fluke. If she had taken the time she would've been dead on with that throw, he noted - but alas, time is not something she would have on her side so she needs to learn to throw while shaving as much of it off as possible*
