They were all so eager to secure their prize. That was something about the shinobi world that hadn’t changed in the slightest. Even amongst their most elite shinobi the cookie still crumbled the same as they reached their desired location within the shifting sands. Satsujo’s hopes of prying the...

The Sand District, vast and unyielding, stretched endlessly beneath the unforgiving sun. The dunes rolled on in soft, fluid waves, their golden slopes shimmering with the heat that radiated from the earth. The air was thick with the weight of the desert—dry, stifling, and ever-present, carrying...

Yaju couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched the Uchiha clash with one another. They were such fickle creatures in his eyes even dogs didn’t bicker as much as they did. Whether it was interclan politics or situations like this where one felt superior it didn’t matter in his eyes. This was...

Yaju let out a heavy sigh realizing just why he didn’t really care for looking after genin or even civilian children for that matter. It was always a matter of survival of the fittest in his eyes and while genin were the fittest in their bracket of children that didn’t exactly mean they made the...

The raikage listened to the both and was more than happy to let the young genin to explore the rest of the world. As it currently stood the world was in a state of relative peace. The nations weren’t waging wars but they also weren’t mindlessly probing each other in hopes of causing agitation to...

Yaju observed them a beat before adding another notion to this little exercise they were about to go through. They were bound to have in their mind that taking their time to decide a leader was something that came with the leisure of peace time; however this was going to be a lesson in reality...

The Raikage listened with a deep intensity matched only by the very beast she hunted for sport. She shifted in her chair a bit taking in the words of both indira and his progeny by his side. It was clear to the Raikage that she had made the right decision intrusting them to Indira’s tutelage for...

When Indira and the young shinobi left in his stead arrived with company in tow the Raikage’s eyes were filled with life, a successful hunt as far as she was concerned. Albeit the Raikage herself had no concern on whether or not Indira would lead his students to victory. Chika gave a curt nod...

Yaju stood at the gates of the training ground his hounds sitting on either side of his person and as the boys came to arrive themselves beginning their own line of questioning; Yaju’s eyes shifted to Gyoken and than to the newest amongst the bunch. His gaze was just as stern as before and yet...

The hound had done its duty collecting the Yaju’s newest pups or at least that's how the hound perceived them. In the eyes of the hound wearing the guide of its master these young men were nothing more than pups waiting to be taught the way of nature itself, survival of the fittest. It pointed...

Yaju sat like a king on his throne watching the figure at work. There was something about the fool hardy nature of children that brought a slight twinge of irritation to his mind. He wasn’t one to pull them from their folly as that was merely the nature of humanity. A trial by fire until either...

The raikage sat in her office with a saccharine look on her face. Her attention to detail and more over her predatory mindset is what often set her apart from her kage counterparts. In a weeks time they had all decided to work in close arms with one another and more importantly begin the...

The inuzuka’s room within the interrogation facility wasn’t much to gawk at or even much to consider at all. It was like an orphanage for those on four legs. Yaju was among some of the few remaining Inuzuka which meant he was nothing more than an ill appointed leader with no real want for the...

It was clear that the kazekage misunderstood the endeavor in regards to training the jinchuriki. It would be too easily thwarted in her eyes to attempt to bring all of the jinchuriki under a single roof for any amount of time. This wasn’t simply because they would be a flight risk or even a...

Orihara chimed in after their collective responses almost like a chipper condescending father figure. “Oh good, it looks like the two of you have common sense after all.” His previous more enthusiastic tone shifted to what it was now and his own eyes peered from underneath his shaggy hair to...
