"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Theo chuckled to himself at the look on Morticia’s face trying to figure out how he looked as old as he does, before she kind of brushed off the question about her family. “Damn... sorry about that, and yea, I’m used to people being confused about my age compared to my parents... maybe one day I’ll explain that kinda weird situation...
Watching as the genin practiced the techniques he had shown her,Theo laughed as she finished, “Looks like you’re having fun now, glad things are finally getting interesting. Looks like you got a handle on those movements, now lets move on.” Theo would scan the next stage’s techniques and nod to himself before returning to his fighting stance. “Okay, now we’re gonna work on some footwork training, the goal is to use your legs and feet to start and stop all the movements.” Theo would start running through the techniques he’d already shown before, but making sure to emphasize the movement of his feet and legs as he turned and stepped, even using fast movements of the hips to launch strikes with the staff, his arms merely hooks on ropes that moved where his legs and spine cast them.”Next theres a movement called step of the desert, its basically the same idea as the spin step from earlier, but its faster and carries you further... and the spinning of the staff will kick up any kinda dust or sand on the ground around you.” Theo then performed the spin step, followed by a similar movement,ducking lower as he spun his staff rapidly around his body as he launched across the floor about 8 feet, the wind from his staff whipping the stray sand on the floor of the dojo up into the air in a mini dust devil around him. He’d then low his staffso that the end of it was sticking out a bit past his back foot before performing the spin step again,moving a bit slower to make sure Morticia could catch that small detail,”That was the circle stepI just did, it’s a pretty good way to sweep enemies close enough off their feet, setting you up for a devastating finishing blow once their on the ground. Then you have the full block, though its also a pretty damn good attack if you have someone ok’ing at you, it’ll knock enemies back about a yard or so, along with any projectiles coming your way.” Theo would then step back and spin the staff full speed all around himself as he’d explain the next technique,”And the last physical technique for this stage is called launch, it involves an exploding wave of chakra erupting from the end of your staff on impact. If the staff is aimed down, you’ll launch into the air and make a nice crater, if it’s from a thrust at an opponent, it’ll break armor and send both of you flying back.” Theo would then surge chakra down his staff as he stopped the spin and plunged the end of his staff into the floor, causing a one foot deep crater to burst into existence as Theo flew about 7ft into the air before flipping and landing back on his feet. Walking calmly towards Morticia,Theo held his staff in one hand and drew one of his broad swords, “And the final technique is a way to use your chakra to make your staff impervious to bladed attacks, which is usually a pretty big weakness of the weapon.” The genin would see the older man’s staff start to glow slightly with a black light before Theo would swing his sword to try to cut his own staff in half, then hear a thud as the staff held strong with no damage.” Sheathing his sword and nodding quickly,”That’s all for this stage, go ahead and work on those, you’ve done pretty well so far, so I think you’ll get those pretty quick.”

██████████████████████████████████████
Moritica; Chakra: 210/210 Stamina: 285/285
Theo brushed off Tish's question. Normally, that would bug her to no end but she was so focused that she was on a roll so nothing was going to distract her. One thing for sure, later on, she will be bugging him because the way Tish was, she's never satisfied until her questions are answered. "Don't worry about it, I'm not sorry. If they dropped me off, they don't want me, simple as that. Not gonna mope or whine about it, going to do my job and protect Sunagakure the best we can, right Cinnamon?" She question as Cinnamon let out a frustrated squeak. It seemed Cinnamon gave up on that damn speedy mouse.
Morticia frowned for a bit as Theo seemed to show the old forms that she already learned. It took her a bit longer than she would like to realize that his footwork was different. Hell, he even said so. She watched him as she nodded softly. Focused and determined, slowly and taking her time, Morticia was shifting her footwork. Few times, Morticia had stumbled. The short haired raven girl growled at herself under her breath and the world around her was quiet. It didn't exists. It was just her and the saff. She tried again, and took a quick spin and step back, but she stepped on her own toe and stumbled, lost her balance for a moment. She noticed she was increasingly getting frustrated so she started to exhale sharply and inhale slowly then it slowly became a slow inhale with a slower and longer exhale. She did that for a few minutes before trying her foot work again. Finally, she had it down, just doing random different spots, more faster and more fluid. Still stiff but not as bad as originally and not as clumsy that was for sure. Morticia paused as she glanced at Theo for a moment, she had already forgotten what else he had taught her. She had to literally scroll back her memories and think about it. Mumbled to herself, "So what he did was... then he... ... oh." She finally remembered. The cloud of sand and dust that was kicked up helped her remember what he did. She was more ashamed of herself for forgetting about that simple move! Oh well, what done was done. She made sure she had room away from the grumpy Cinnamon and Theo as she loosen her gripped on her staff, she didn't realize she was holding it so tight because she was getting frustrated with her own footwork earlier. At least she corrected herself. She does the same thing as the spin step but much more faster as she was able to kick up enough dust and sand to make a mini dust devil too but it died quickly as she slowed. Of course she wasn't fast nor as strong as Theo. At least it was progress. All that sand didn't surprise her, they do live in the village of sand after all. Morticia rested for a moment as she had to remember, once again, what was the next technique. She rubbed her arms and forearms for a bit to help with the soreness and the burning she was experiencing for working her muscles so hard. She finally remembered as she slightly groaned a bit. Of course it involved with the fast spinning of the staff. Placed the staff in one hand, she shook out her right arm. Moved the staff to her right, she shook her left arm as she started to prepare herself for the next move. When her arms felt slightly better but not completely, she went ahead and attempted the next step. Her grip was once again, loose and strong as she spun the staff rapidly around her body. She did that for several minutes to make sure she got the hang of it and attempted to do the lower sweep but the staff scratched the floor. Ugh. Time for her to try again. Shaking her arms and shrugging her shoulders, she got back in position and worked on it once again. Spun the staff around her body, she got the lower end out and this time, it didn't scratch the floor and it would've tripped anyone within range. Well at least she finally had that down. Now for this next part, she was more excited about it because this was something she was worried about, owning a wooden staff. It would've been easy to simply slice away at that wooden staff and it made her increasingly nervous, especially when Theo over there had a nice metal one. Speaking of which, she needed to ask him where he got it. Morticia wouldn't mind to have a nice staff like that. Right. She needed to get back to focusing. With that in mind, slowly and taking her time so her arms could rest from all that training, her hands simply held the staff as she started to feel a bit of energy expelling from her hands to her staff. Did it work? Only one way to tell. Approached a dummy, she armed it with a sword as she made sure that it wouldn't get easily knocked off. Once she was determined it wouldn't get knocked off, she made sure to put chakra into the staff first. once she felt like it was ready, she 'fought' with the armed dummy. After few good hard hits, she pulled her staff towards her and glanced at it. No nicks or chips. Nice. So it did work. Pleased with herself, she made sure to be respectful by putting the sword back to where she got it from. Now the last one, she glanced towards the crater and paused for a moment. Can an itty bitty gal like her actually be able to do something like that? She doubt it but it also depended on the chakra burst. She remembered what Theo mentioned about it, exploding wave of chakra from the end of the staff. Okay. Fascinating how this move can break armors as she glanced at his armor and wonder if it would break his. Doubt it. With him being strong and fast, there was no way in seven hells she had a chance with him. Tish focused for a bit as she made sure the chakra was on its way down to the bottom of the staff, did a running start and a leap, Morticia yelled in surprise at the force and the jump as she clumsily landed on her a**. "Oooowwww" She whined as she half rolled over and rubbed her butt. That hurt like hell. Cinnamon saw this happened and started to do that odd fox laugh as Morticia glared at her, picked up a handful of sand and threw it at Cinnamon who simply side stepped and did the weird laugh some more.
"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Watching the genin train, Theo thought about what she had said about being left by her family, she kind of had a point, but at the same time he wasn’t sure how he would be now if not for his parents backing him up in the few cases where he needed it. Chuckling to himself when Morticia landed on her a** after practicing launch, Theo said quickly, “Yea, you get used to handling yourself in the air after a while, but its a tricky landing the first couple times.”Nodding with a smile as Morticia finished up the last technique, Theo walked over closer, “Good job,Morticia, you learned pretty quick. That’s all I can teach you for now, the next stage of techniques is only allowed to chuunin and higher shinobi, but once you’re promoted I’ll be more than happy to help you advance more.” The large jounin thought for a second, “By the way, that weapon you mentioned you wish you could have eventually... it wouldn’t happen to be something like this?” Theo would send a bit of chakra into his staff and Morticia would see black energy cover the outer two and a half feet from each end of the staff. Theo would then turn towards a nearby dummy and start to spin his staff as he had in several techniques before and the genin would see cut marks form on the wooden dummy every time part of the staff struck it. Theo would then stop spinning it and twist his hands before pulling the two halves apart, flipping one over to be held as a sword upright. With a hard swing from both weapons in an X formation, the dummy would be cut into four pieces, the sides falling away before the head and upper torso tilted an feel to the ground. Reconnecting the two halves of his staff, Theo deactivated the chakra blades and rested the tip of the staff on the floor by his right foot. “If you’d like, I can try to find someone to make you a simpler version of this... since mine was made by my old teacher for me.”

Morticia grumbled a small thanks as she got up and rubbed her butt. It was already sore to the touch. Great. She was going to have trouble sitting for the next few days. Oh well. No pain, no gain. Tish rose her eyebrow when he had brought up what she mentioned earlier about the weapon she would like to eventually have. Her eyes widen in surprise as she was focused on his moves. Part of her couldn't help but to think 'Show off.' When really he was demonstrating what he could do. Her mouth popped open when he had mentioned to try to find someone to make this simple version of the staff, "With less chakra considering I don't have high chakra, I would love that! A LOT." Cinnamon, the grey fox who was starting to feel a bit neglected and frustrated, wiggled her butt behind Morticia then suddnely, she pouched onto Mortitica's leg and nipped at the thigh hard enough to leave a bruise. Tish yelped as she grabbed Cinnamon at the nape of the neck and brought her to eye level, "What is your problem!?" She growled. Cinnamon glared right back and made few squeak sounds. Cinnamon, seemed haven't learned the human tongue yet. Tish groaned softly, "I don't want to learn my bloodline or ninjutsu yet. There's so much more for me to learn, Cin." Cinnamon let out an annoyed squeak as she was placed down and glared at the black cloud mouse from afar, the one damn thing she cannot catch. Despite being tired and sore, Tish was ready to learn some more. Cinnamon ears perked up towards the sky as high as it could as she heard something, it was a wolf howling. She was pretty sure it was that wolf that could use her as a snack... but the howl it was sad. Cinnamon let out a soft whine as she flatten her ears at the base of the skull and looked down in sorrow. Tish noticed this and thought that maybe she was too rough with Cinnamon. "Oh Cin, I'm sorry." She picked Cinnamon up in her arms and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Watching Morticia’s reaction to his offer, Theodin smiled softly,”Yea, mine was designed like it is partly because I’m a ninjutsu specialist, so the chakra I need to activate the blades is nothing for me... Plus I was already a jounin when I got it.” Theo would laugh slightly when the little fox pounced onto Morticias leg and the genin scolded the young pup. “Used to be, the senior shinobi here in Suna would help their genin students get outfitted for combat, since we tend to end up in it fairly early pretty often. I myself got sent into the middle of an active war zone for my first mission out of the village as a genin, popped out of my dad’s summon scroll while he and mom were in the middle of fighting some high up UHV soldiers. So I’ll give you a choice of which to do next, we can either continue on to ninjutsu training and head back to the academy, or we can go to the super dome here in the village and get you some decent equipment.” When the small fox whined, Theo frowned slightly,”Poor little kit...sounds like someone just called in a boss level summon..” Theo would comment as he heard the sound of the academy golem groaning as it expanded to contain a likely near tailed beast sized creature.

Morticia revealed a huge grin, "That would be kickass Theo, thank you!" He explained that how Suna used to be, that it was senior shinobi job to get the genin ones all outfitted, geared up, and ready for anything. That was nice. Not like the orphanage where they just throw you where you need to go, do the chores and go to bed. Course, Morticia had broken the rules. More than once. The confused face that Morticia had earlier? Well, that was nothing. She was even more bewildered when Theo had mentioned he just popped out of a summoning scroll and that reminded her...
ABOUT THE THING. "Wait wait, so, no wait, back up. Summon scroll? How can they be your parents?" Not too long after that, Theo's question finally got into her delayed brain. Not literally but might as well. "Um.." She glanced towards the academy as she shook her head. Nah. She doesn't want to be in that right now. Placing down kit, "We can go to the super dome! I'm excited!! And after that, can you help me with close combact, please!?" She sounded rather excited and rather outgoing.
"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
“Alright, lets head over to the super dome then,” Theo would walk over and scoop up the little fox before setting his hand on Morticia’s shoulder. Oh wait... forgot my robe,”Theo would quickly run over and grab the large robe he’d shrugged off earlier and sling it back on before returning to his student’s side and placing his hand on her shoulder again. “Alright, here we go” he’d say quickly before channeling the chakra through his staff to activate his summon seal, causing all of them to vanish in a puff of smoke.

Haru Kurou
Haru came to the dojo again to catch up quickly on some training. He stretched a few times before getting to work. It didn't take to long to finish it, the most annoying part being having to turn his armor on and off for each technique. Once that was done he let out a yawn, scratching his side as he left the area.
(40 Training posts used, learned King of the Iron Fist to 5th Stage Kyouzou 4th Stage Flicker Step).
Sunagkaure ✦ Genin ✦ Bloodline&Taijutsu ✦ Jiton Chakra 225/225 l Stamina: 275/275 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Arrived at the dojo, she glanced around and doesn't notice anyone here. She assumed that Theo was off being busy. Ugh. She had a question for him and once again, he eluded her. No matter. She will find the answer one way or another. Right now, she had some training she needed to do. With a taijutsu in mind, she headed to the scroll area and started to look through it. It took some time but she finally found it, Tame Za Kyokudo. Set her weapon on the table, she didn't want it to get in the way for now.
The first one seemed to be pretty simple. After reading it a few times, Morticia made her way towards the dummy and exhaled softly. She made her her fist were properly closed. The thumb rested outside, she remembered her teacher yelling at the other students for having the thumb tucked inside the fist. For some reason, students with thumb outside of fist, knew Taijutsu pretty well. First, she did the first punch and then it followed by a second and strong punch, putting slight of her body weight into it. Next one, if she remembered right, was to gather chakra into her fists. Focused as it gathered around her fist, she strikes at the dummy. She looked closer as she see a few nicks. Okay. So that worked. It was time to do the next one.
[ Stage One Learned! ]
Headed back to the table, she glanced at the next one. At least this one won't be too difficult. With that, she raised her fists up, to protect her head, her elbows tucked in as she bounced around on the balls of her feet. Few times, she got distracted and lost her balance. Honestly. Morticia should learn to stop being distracted. She did it again. Whatever. Slightly frustrated, Morticia made her way to the dummy and figured, if she had a focus point, maybe she would be less distracted. With that in mind, she started to bounce around the dummy. Anyone coming in, might think she was being a bit odd but it didn't matter to her. She was actually being focused. While bouncing around, she did a jab here and there at the dummy. Huh. Having a focus point actually helped her pay attention more.
Alright. It was time for the next one. Oh boy. This one might actually be a little bit challenging. Not because she can't do it, because she totally can but more so that the dummy that they made here was heavy. Could she simply be able to pull that move? Never know until you try it! Alright! Here we go! She hooked around the dummy and when she tried to pull it, the dummy was quicker as it bounced the other way, sending Morticia down to the floor as she landed on the side. Okay. That didn't work. She was right. It was heavier than expected. Of course it would be, there's not that many genin around Sunagakure lately. Once she placed her palms onto the floor, she pushed herself back up. Glared right at the dummy, she was aiming for that head of its, TO BE ON THE FLOOR. And it WILL HAPPEN. She attempted again, she hooked her stronger leg around the neck and twisted her hips slightly, BAM the dummy hit the ground! .. But it didn't break as it swung over to the other side, sending Morticia slightly flying.
[ Stage Two Learned! ]
Rubbed her hips, she got up as she groaned softly. At least she nailed that! She knows that she might be able to do that to someone else. Might being to what that other person was like. That big a** dude at the door in the office she saw earlier today? Yea, she won't be able to dive his head to the ground that was for sure. Who knows. When she read the next scroll, she actually got very nervous. How was she expected to jump up so high and then heel slam the head or shoulder?! Oh boy. This might take several tries but it wouldn't matter, she was going to work hard. Alright. Here we go. First try? She ran and lifted her body up. It was beautiful! Extended her leg! Magnificent! And! Missed. She landed on the ground as she yelped in pain, she was sure her hip had popped and it wasn't a good kind of pop. ********. How can she miss such a target? Then again, real targets wasn't going to stand still so she was going have to figure out how to get the aim just right. Alright. Round two! She did it once again, her eyes was actually on the target and not some random spot on the wall, and her heel contacted the head! One problem. This was a dummy. A real person might move, but the dummy? It was going no where as she bounced off and pulled her muscle. With a holler, she rubbed her groin muscles. Holy ******** that hurts.
For several minutes, Morticia was sitting on the floor and constantly rubbing her leg muscles, that stretch pulled the muscles that it stung the holy heck out of her. Okay. It really smarts. Once she got up, she rubbed her thighs as she started to do a couple of lunges on the floor. When the young female felt warmed up, she started to do some squats in addition. Might as well while you are at it. Her grey hues glanced around the room as she realized something. There was no weights. No kettle balls. Nothing. Huh. They should add some of those. Maybe she could put in a request to that Kazekage to put in some equipment, Morticia would certainly like to work on her muscles. Focused back to the world and not off in la la land, she grabbed the scroll and started to read on the next one. At least it seemed easier than the others she learned. And she could do it over and over. At least it would get her heart up. Her hands were once again clenched and brought close to her face for defense. With a slow exhale, she tense up her body and started to do kick on the dummy's side, bobbed out, do a kick on the other side, and back and forth until she can feel the pulse in her neck.
[ Stage Three Learned! ]
Alright, that was good enough. She knows she could learn up to stage four but that was not what was on her mind. She needed to ask Theo that question that was for sure. He could also help her on Stage four. She placed the scrolls away and grabbed her weapon off the table as she headed home to get ready for the funeral.

Ayame walked into the dojo with Daichi following close behind her until her found a sunny spot to lay in and relax. She gave a small smile to him before pulling off the fur she wore and placing it under his head. Daichi gave a happy grumble and promptly proceeded to doze and sun himself as his tamer trained. Ayame chuckled and removed her sabre from her hip. She tested the weight in her hand and had a brief flash of sadness as she remembered her cousin. She got into her stance, placing the blade in front of her before thrusting it forward. The small ice beads in her hair made a soft jingling noise. Ayame moved forward in series of steps adding a few thrusts and slashes. She was quick, possibly moving faster than she normally did while in combat. It put more force behind her offensive moves and she was quite happy about that. She took a deep breath and pushed her chakra down her arms and in a thin layer over the blade. She slashed at a rock near her and smiled when it split. Ayame relaxed her mind and rolled her neck as she straightened her back. She felt her chakra circulation immediately improve and felt her body strengthening. She ran her hands through the downed part of her hair, This will be pretty interesting.

• Into the Wild: Ayame has spent so much time with Daichi that she already has begun to adapt and bond with him on a greater level. Ayame's hands have adapted to form powerful claws, as well as house a great deal of grip strength designed to rip and tear the opponent. •I See You: Her bond with Daichi has also given her night vision •Oooooo That Smell: Ayame's rank up has strengthened her bond with Daichi and has heightened her sense of smell to that of any normal wolf. •Run Wolfgirl RUN: Ayame's rank up has strengthened her bond with Daichi and has increased her speed moderately. •Any Collaboration with James, Theodin, Daichi, or Bast: +2 rank •All raiton: +1 rank •ANBU Armor •Medium Specialty Armor •Clothing is made of Efreet Skin{Hakama, Haori the works all her clothing is efreet} with Nitinol Alloy patches in important places (Chest Plate is completely made of this material which stops right above the knees then begins again after the knees) •Silent Soles
James walked into the dojo area and headed to one of the few small tables, smiling as he looked about and detected the life signs of his lover and her animal companion. He let his gaze linger on the beautiful woman who could be so feral when the time came. He recognized the style that Ayame was practicing, and approved immensely. The style had been spoken highly of by Sanshi, and James had seen it used to deadly effect on the battle field. He watched as already the movements were sinking into her muscular reflexes and synapses. There was nothing like her in all the worlds.
James finally snapped himself back to business, and dropped a long scroll onto one of the few spare tables the area had. He rolled out the scroll and poured over its contents. It had taken him a long and hazardous journey to find this scroll. Adding it to Suna's library was going to be another badge of pride in his struggle to defend the city that has raised him in spite of his odd name and origin.
The Scroll was the learning manual for a style the people of the Water country called "Kasai." Kasai, named after its creators reputation as a sanctified master of the blade, was a powerful and brutal style of sword play that focused on powerful combinations and blasting your opponent off balance. It would blend perfectly with James constant offensive style and fondness for smashing opponents down.
James turned his attention from the scroll because in order to learn to be a swordsman, one had to have a sword, and James at the moment was going to need to acquire one. fortunately ample water supplies to hydrate training ninja meant that James had construction material at hand, and had just the solution to the question of a blade worthy of the sword saint's style.
James hands moved with a grace betraying his savage brute appearances and large size as he held a single hand sign with his right hand. He pressed his energy into the swirl of gathering water that drew itself from the earth, the sky, the fountains and the sweat of his own brow. James poured chakra into the blade, forging a handle literally sculpted to his own hands and a cross guard of the never melting Ice his genetics allowed him to master. James worked meticulously, taking his time with utter concentration as he honed the edge on both sides of the long blade until at it's point he held a weapon that was only a few inches shorter than his own height. He inspected the blade over with a fine eye.
His blade was forged. James felt the heft of the weapon, found it good, and spun into a horizontal slash. The blade was powerful. Driven by his large size alone it would cut. James practiced power from other arts only added to it's destructive force.His smile gleamed as he continued.
James was born for war. Genetics combined with years of martial practice. Years of practice since childhood combined with instruction from the worlds greatest shinobi. The result was a powerful and brutal man who turned a weapon sized to kill horses with the grace of a drum major's baton. Fierce strikes joined the slashes and thrust. James ate ground as he moved, always advancing, always cutting and striking. His parries and blocks always aiming to sweep aside an incoming weapon and counter.
He broke from the kata with a final overhead slash, spinning momentum taking him to his toes and he crashed down to earth with a force that could crack mountains.
This was a good day.

Ayame heard and could smell the scent of her mate before he walked in. He smelled of rain, herbs and metal, and there was always that hint of sweetness she knew was death. She gave a small smile as she felt his eyes on her, but continued her dance by making a clone. When she coated the blade in her chakra again this time she left the edge of the blade uncovered. Her clone's attack seemed to float off the blade. She moved into her clone's space grinding her sabre across her clone's. She locked the clone in place then used her, then followed through with a soft jab to the clone. If there had been a kunai in her hand, and this an actual battle, things would have been very different for the clone. Ayame pivoted to one leg as the clone came at her and followed through with a kick to the clone's gut. As the clone went flying and poofed, Ayame moved the larger braid in her hair back over her shoulder and sighed as the small beads in her hair moved over her face and neck. They cooled her almost immediately and she created another clone. She straightened her back again and slid one foot behind the other, raising the blade to be in the middle of her face. She also may have straightened a little more to give her mate a better view, but who could really tell? Within that stance she felt her chakra moving easily throughout her body. She shot forward with the blade extended out in front of her. She stopped mere inches from the clone but the blade was coated in her chakra and a but longer than before. As the clone vanished she got into her stance again and used her chakra as an anchor to the grounds of the dojo beneath her feet. She hummed and moved the chakra once again down her blade, but only used that as a focal point to sharpen the air around the blade itself. As she brought her sabre in an arc it seemed as if another blade followed it. Ayame looked over at Daichi and his ears moving were the only indication she had said anything to him within their link. Thin bits of earth appeared and Ayame jumped on to them using her chakra to focus herself. Cats were known for balance, not wolves, so this would be something that was extremely beneficial.

James watched his Kage and mate go about the business of drilling with a clone, and gave a small but subtle smile at the adjustment of her posture. Ayame, more so than most any of the women in the village, had been blessed with certain...well...physical assets. Even with her battle wear she was immensely difficult not to appreciate. James had heard whispers of it on the wind. Both men and women took notice when Ayame's cloak did not cover her hard trained curves.He was sure some idiots spoke to that being why James had literally lifted her up as his one day in the Kage's office.
James had noticed this long before they had started their journey as romantic partners. When they had made it through a particularly nasty ambush.was when James had seen that her appeal was deeper than just her tracks of land. From there James had simply claimed the woman as his own in a way that many of the other men in the village had wanted to do, and failed to actually pull the trigger on.
James only let the show delay him for a moment as he spun his blade in his hand. Soon he himself was back to work and his own clone was squaring off with him.
They clashed with earthshaking ferocity. James massive frame was honed from years of combat, and his natural gift for raw strength lead to the Sannin being on of the most bone crushingly strong men on the planet. The style of Kasai only aided this as the two ice blades clashed with the rare heard ring of ice as strong as the hardest steel clashed against itself. Glacial cracking ripping as the two men slashed and stepped in great offensive rushes. The initiative cutting back and forth constantly as punches and kicks flashed between both one and two handed strikes of the blade.
The conflict finally broke when James stance shifted and a huge overhand blow smashed through the guard of his clone. Slamming the copies own blade down into it's chest and flattening it to the earth. Ready to be finished as even James supreme combat senses and balance would have to recover from the sudden titanic crash the clone held it's hands up in surrender.
"That style looks good on you Love." James said as he turned away from the clone. "Almost as good as those Hyouton beads look in your hair. What wonderful man gave you those?" He asked with a cheshire grin.

Ayame created another clone then turned her head in James's direction giving him a smile, I can't seem to remember his name. Though, he was pretty handsome and is very good with his hands. She said as she turned back to her training. She focused on her blade then slashed forward at her clone. It barely had time to move, but then came forward with an attack of its own. Ayame parried the attack then gripped the clone's wrist using her strength to squeeze and cause the clone to drop its own blade. She focused her chakra again on the blade then swung up causing the saber to have arcs and looked as if more blades were coming from it. Ayame adjusted her grip then stabbed forward impaling the clone on the blade before pulling it back, and stabbing forward again. The clone dissipated and Ayame rolled her shoulders as she stood, placing her sabre back in its sheath. She smiled and enjoyed the slight glow her chakra had as it moved above her arms. She gave a smile to James as she got low to the ground in a stance with her feet wide apart and her back slightly hunched. Her hand hovered over her blade then she created another clone. It immediately came at her and Ayame drew her blade creating a circle with it to block the move and also drive the clone's blade into the dirt. Ayame let her chakra pool into her sabre then came back up and caught her clone across the face. The clone went flying and again dissipated. My poor face.

"Stop canoodling in public! Someone's turned me into a small child!" Those were the words Bast barked at Ayame and James when she came... well, maybe not bursting into the room, but sort of angrily stomping in once she'd managed to get the door open. "Who the heck would do this?! Is there some enemy invading?! What's more, the clerk at the library wasn't very friendly! I know this sounds like a job for CMW, but I have it on good authority that she's a CMG now, just like me!"
The half-sized Bast stomped one foot angrily and jabbed a finger toward the two lovebirds.
"Someone better figure out what's going on and cure me or I'm gonna go full teenager on your asses in a couple of years!"
