Hizuren grumbled, he didn't remember putting up a bounty for this women but the mutated raiton caught his eye causing him to put the other thought to the side. Whether it was hereditary was to be found out, something he was secretly excited to find out.
=========================================
Shirohi spent the next few days in the orphanage, it was completely different from what he was used to. It was loud all the time, kids running around playing Shinobi. He was even able to see some older kids practicing hand signs. The majority of his time was spent watching these kids, and did they love showing off their skills. One even showed him the 'Clone Jutsu' it wasn't a solid clone nor was it perfect but actually seeing a justu made Shirohi eyes sparkle with excitement, he tried to memorize every hand sign and even began asking questions.
Some of the kids were happy to answer despite Shirohi's seemingly indifferent expression, a few laughed at first but eventually warmed up to their fellow 'cold' orphan.
Today was actually the day that the Academy opened for the year. Shirohi would be lying if he said he wasn't excited. He followed the other kids and listened as they gossiped, trying to learn anything he could, a lot of it seemed like useless information about boys he didn't even know.
After walking for an undetermined amount of time Shirohi stood within a crowd at the entrance of the academy, as something brushed past him, he flinched as he snapped his head to the side to see what bumped into him.
He paused as he lost himself in the fair skinned girl's onyx eyes as she gazed through the crowd, her jet black hair trailed behind her as she made her way to the front of the crowd. Shirohi's eyes followed her along the way until a voice sounded out pulling his attention.
"All Clan Members please head to the back of the academy for your placement tests, all civilian children will be taking their tests inside." Slightly upset that he lost sight of the onyx eyed girl Shirohi followed the majority of the crowd inside and up a set of stairs, soon they found themselves in a large windowless room with 3 targets against the far wall and a circle drawn on the floor.
"Here we will test your placement, depending on how you do you will be put into various classes or refused admission, any volunteers?" Shirohi was about to step forward but stopped himself, he didn't even know what he would be volunteering himself for. After quickly deciding to watch and try to come up with a plan, he made his way to the back of the group intent on being last.
Near the front of the group 2 girls stepped forward, Shirohi noticed the jet black haired girl he had lost sight of previously. As the two made their way towards the circle the Shinobi began explaining "Taijutsu is the art of hand to hand combat, I don't expect any of you to be proficient but I at least expect you to try. Are you ready?" Getting nods from the two girls he dropped his raised arm "Fight!"
The girl with Jet-black hair took a stance while the other recklessly charged forward with her fist raised high, as the reckless girl neared the jet-black haired girl the latter gave a twirl locking her opponent's wrist in her grip while her foot slid in between the former's legs. Before the reckless girl could process what had happened her opponent was already on top of her back, "Shizune Kato wins!"
Shizune got off her opponent and went help her up, despite Shizune's apologetic expression her opponent didn't take her hand instead she climbed to her feet herself, the Shinobi overlooking the placement test came forward handing the two a pouch "Throw those kunai at the target in the back of the room, don't worry about how close you are to the center just try to make them stick."
The day went on like this until Shirohi's turn came, he looked around and saw that everyone else had already gone, curious as to how the Shinobi was going to handle this he walked to the center of the circle waiting on the Shinobi's instructions. "Name?" "Shirohi Tensuki" the Shinobi nodded to himself as he quickly wrote on a piece of paper, "Since your the last one you will be up against me, don't worry though I'll take it easy this is only to gauge your skill."
The Shinobi approached the circle, as he stood across from Shirohi he made a hand sign causing Shirohi to stiffen and the Shinobi to chuckle "Don't worry, this is simply a gesture to show that this is a fight between comrades(?)"
Shirohi fumbled to return the hand sign, upon realizing that he wasn't going to call the fight Shirohi began to circle his opponent keeping his eyes locked onto his shoulders and hips, something he had learned thanks to 'that man'. Understanding that he wasn't going to make the first move Shirohi darted forward keeping his body low but his head up, the Shinobi kept his relaxed stance the various cheers in the crowd filled Shirohi's ears and for a moment he felt a cooling sensation flood his stomach. The Shinobi was surprised to see Shirohi come to a complete halt in front of him, smacking the incoming fist with his palm the two fell into a rhythm every punch Shirohi threw would be smacked away every kick would be redirected all to throw Shirohi off balance but Shirohi wouldn't give up. Pain wasn't unknown to Shirohi and no amount of pain would keep him from his dreams and right now his dreams were to become a Shinobi.
The proctor; Shirohi's opponent was surprised at the kids tenacity and slowly put more force into his blows curious to how much the kid can handle, as Shirohi's fist was smacked away he twisted with the momentum sending a backward fist at the Shinobi only for it to be hit away, Shirohi was slowly beginning to realize how weak he was something he already knew but for it to be proven in front of all these people made him feel powerless just like in front of that monster…
Deciding this had gone on enough the Shinobi went on the offensive punching out towards Shirohi, as Shirohi watched the fist closing in a memory overlapped with his vision, a memory of that man overlapped with the Shinobi and Shirohi let out a guttural war cry as he ducked kicking off the ground tackling the Shinobi.
Small unseen arcs of white lightning danced through his hair as he unleashed a flurry of attacks, caught by surprise the Shinobi lost his balance but recovered fast enough to block Shirohi's strikes he was genuinely interested in the boy on top of him, his strikes held more power then previously they were faster as well however they weren't something he couldn't manage. With a small smile on his face he disappeared into a flurry of leaves before reappearing a few feet away "Very good," quickly writing down his notes he looked up to find Shirohi taking deep breaths as if calming himself, while he was curious about what it was about he let it slip his mind tossing a pouch of kunai at Shirohi's feet.
