The clone poofed, and the real Saotome entered the room."Well, the Mist is hard to get to, since the only way to get to Kiri is by boat, and other means of transportation."He looked at Neo."I think there is a good chance you will get trained by the Tsuchikage. But don't get your hopes up, he does have a big ol' village to look after. but in all honesty, i dont know who is still at Iwa."He kinda thought for amoment. He knew that the old tsuchikage and his pupil died by the hands of the great Raikage, and some of his old teammates have moved on to Cloud. He always wondered what things would be like back at Iwa. He made the mistake and left Kiri, but he will never do that again.

Neo answered back "Does it really matter who trains me? I'll still always be a monster when hatred takes me over. That tiny demon inside is fueled by hatred, and trust me... I got lots of it. Even to you..."

He then tried to make an attempt to stand up, since his chakra was slowly returning, but failed. He could only raise his arms for now. "So tell me. Why did you decide to change your looks? So I can't relate to the man who almost killed me?" he asked looking upward, and this time no emotion on his face.

"As to hiding my identity from you, no that is not the reason. I change my looks after every promotion that i take on, for example i just became a member of the ANBU Core. Aside from being in that and being a Jonin, i have many more responsibilties to take on now. Its going to be tough always being summonded by Yun if he needs the ANBU core. You know, with your strengths, i think you would make an excellent ANBU shinobi, as far as you know how to controll your "inner demon"."He looked down for a minute, his mask still on his face."As a genin, you have to train more for the chunnin exams. I still want to train you to make sure your using all your techniques as of right now right. The one thing i would seek out from other shinobi, as should i, is a Weapon style. I am going to ask the mizukage to see if he can train me in a weapon style."He was not sure on when he would do this for him.  

[R0bot0]

Neo answered back with his arms on his stomach "I see... I wish you good luck in that." He then tried to stand up, and weakly, he got the energy to sit down on the bed, facing Saotome. He then answered looking to the side "Anbu? I have no interest in such things for now. I'm interested in becoming a Chunnin, and then reaching Jonin."

He then mustered up strength to stand up, and he did. He then grabbed the Sakanagare, and drained the chakra reserve there to get chakra enough to train once more, the chakra needed to replenish in the Sakanagare again, so Neo needed to be careful.

Neo then put the Sakanagare back in their saya on Neo's lower pants, and then looked to Saotome, and said "I have my own weapon style, and I'll be refining it more and more. Want to train right now?"

*****Rini Chikongou
*****Gennin | Medic in Training

Rini returned in the middle of their discussion, but did not wish to interrupt, so she waited outside the room, her back against the wall next to the doorway to keep herself out of sight. She did not doubt that Saotome knew she was there -- there was no way she could fool an ANBU agent at her current level -- but she did not want to appear intrusive. This was something they needed to work out themselves as father and son . . . teacher and student. At the mention of Neo possibly training with Yun, Rini even smiled slightly. There was no pang of jealousy -- no whisper of thieving, so-called friends. Instead, she almost hoped that Neo would follow through with that suggestion so that they could train together in whatever weapon style Yun thought was best. Maybe they could learn styles to complement each other, allowing them to work better as a team. Even when he seemed to shoot down the idea, her smile did not fade very much. Who knew? Maybe Yun could help him develop that style.

When the question of training came up, however, Rini decided it was time to make herself obviously known. She cleared her throat and stepped into the room, fixing her best stern look on her teammate and placing her hands on her hips. "I don't think so, mister. Look at you. You can hardly stand on your feet and you expect to be cleared for training? Not a chance. Back in bed, Neo-kun."

"Looks like Rini made the anwser for me. I don't think you should train until your healed up. Plus i am going to leave to the market to get something. Talk to Rini for now. I shall leave a clone to talk to the both of you." He then left, leaving a clone to talk and make sure things didn't get out of hand. This was a special clone, one that is made from water and has 70% of his power in it, something only a person of the Akkimizu Clan can do.

Neo looked slightly at the intruder. He recognized it was Rini, but instead of stopping he limped his way in front of Rini, and said "Don't butt in! I have nothing to live for, except training. Look at this animal I have become! Does this really seem like the face of a human?!" As he asked the last part, he took off his cloth below his nose, and his hoodie, revealing his scarred face again.

Then Neo calmed down in front of her with both hands down, and his position unstable, and said "Please... just let me train." and then he looked down with his pained body, while waiting for Rini to get out of his way.

Rini's eyes widened in slight shock, sliding one foot back. Her gaze never met his, however -- never ventured any lower to look at the scars, as if they did not exist. She searched his eyes, right arm half-lifting before dropping back down to her side as she fought back tears. Slapping him would do no good -- not in his condition, no matter how much his words hurt. Trying to keep her lower lip from trembling, she asked wryly, "So, I'm nothing, huh?" The genin swallowed and forced a weak smile onto her face. "I see. Well, then."

She took a breath and straightened, lifting her chin slightly. She was not going to cry. Her entire demeanor changed, expression going distant, as if she was addressing an acquaintance and not a teammate . . . or friend, as she had once thought him to be. "I wish you the best of luck, Neo. Saotome-san." She nodded sharply to each of them before turning on her heel and striding out of the room -- and out of the house.

Neo just stayed looking down asking to himself lowly "What did I just do...? I'm so stupid!" He then lipmed his way back into the training dojo and got painfully down to do pushups agin to get stronger, and he started counting, but kept losing the count as he thought It's better if she stays away from me... What good would I do in her life? Hurt her more? NO! I need to say sorry to her...

Ysuka said in a dark and creepy voice to Neo "Oh so now you're like your father! Redeem yourself after you hurt them!" but Neo ignored the voice, as he got up, and slowly limped his way trying to get to the door of the dojo, yelling "RINI! RINI! I'm sorry! I really am..."

Neo started limping his way behind Rini, and even while falling to the ground, he got back up weakly, and started walking his way behind Rini with all the strength he could.

Saotome followed both of them, and wondered what was going between them.

eXIT  

[R0bot0]

Ysuka walked Neo's body, while still in possession to the ceiling. There, Ysuka let go of the possession, and Neo fell asleep at the bed.

With many nightmares, he moved around, and fought. His nightmares started all over again, and he was restless now. Even more now that the past cold incident. His eyes pressured against each other, and unconsciously he removed his effects of weapons to the side. There he lay sleeping, but restless.  

[vineco]

Nova had somehow managed to keep his tracking a secret to Neo and now awaited him waking, wandering this home in the mean time. Eventually he picked up one of the novels of the history of Mist and gave it a few chapters read.

But his time here in Mist was limited, so he closed the book and turned to the person he was watching sleeping. "Hey. You can sleep when your dead."  

[R0bot0]

Neo finally woke up after a while when he heard this person's voice, and his immediate reflex was to put the Sakanagare (Neo's chained weapon) at his throat, and he immediately asked in a sitting position, and breathing heavily from his nightmares "What is your business here?"  

[vineco]

The thought of snapping at this guy with non existent fangs crossed his mind but he held his calm. It would be a hard explanation as to why he was intruding here and the reason probably didn't justify the actions.

"I'm Nova Raiken, of the clan, i've come seeking you for training." He begun. "We have a certain age back at home for my Raiken family where we go begin to learn lightning jutsus..I am that age but you are 2 years pass that date..No worries.." He backed up a bit away from the weapon and put the book he was reading down on the dresser next to the bed. "It's lovely to meet you too.."  

[R0bot0]

"Well Nova..." Neo answered back rudely as he stood up feeling rested again, but still with a bit more cuts. He put on his cloth again, and his hoodie to hide his scars, and had removed the weapon from aiming at him. He hid it back on their saya and answered "You intrude into my home, you wake a man from the depths of his nightmares, and you then ask for training? You got guts... I kinda like that." said Neo a bit weirdly, not even looking at the kid.

He then turned to face Nova, and said "A family huh? Where have they been? That's no family of mine, since they've never been there for me." His eyes looked at the Nova like looking stright through him. Neo had never seen another clan member. Much less someone who dare to wake him from his nightmares.
