Sousaku had arrived to the training grounds, he was here to practise a tiny bit of his Ninjutsu. Just the low-ranked kind, not the high-ranked ones that he'd save for his Chunin comrades. He did not need to weave seals, he just stared at the ground, and then began to shift the ground underneath him. He caused a bit of spikes to come out of the ground in front of him. Nothing too serious and nothing too impressive. He just sighed, and wondered what else he could do. That's when he spotted his little drunken-Genin friend. He began to approach Chiho, waving his arms as he approached his student. Wondering what he was doing out here.

"Shochune-san, greetings. How are you?"

There was an instant moment of 'oh shit' realization that Chiho was no longer alone when he heard the voice of his Chunin. . . Mentor? Friend? Occasional bully but it was cool cuz he bought him sweets afterwards? The branch slipped from Chiho's hand as he turned to face Sousaku, giving him a polite nod in his direction and hoping he hadn't seen him making sound effects while swinging the branch around.

"Hehe. . . Pretty good, I mean. . . Totally good. I was just. . . Ya know, thinking of what to do today. . . Honestly, I'm kinda stuck right now, since like, I'm totally wanting to expand my skill set. . . And I realized having a weapon, well, might be useful. . . Just. . . I dunno what would be good. There's no need to go crazy with it either, so I thought a sword would be nice. . . What do you think?"

"You're practising Kenjutsu with a stick? Nonsense, you could've just bought a weapon off of me."

He waved his hand, only just joking about what he had said. Of course he'd make a make-shift sword for him with Steel Release.

"I jest. I'll create a temporary sword for you, and I will teach you how to use it."

He said, already having studied some art of the blade. He wasn't the best with Kenjutsu, but he was friends with a few masters of it. He took one of the steel plates from his hip, and flowed a decent amount of chakra throughout it. This caused it to duplicate, now he was holding two plates. Clipping the original back to his belt, he began to flow even more chakra through the chakra-constructed plate, causing it to shape and form into that of a full steel wakizashi which Chiho could wield.

Handing it over to him, he spoke. "Here. Once you're ready we'll fight."
