Upon walking an ancient forest, an old hermit looked upon a stream of water. He looked at its reflection and thought to himself:

"Who can I teach today that can make a wav from a single droplet? Who can move mountains with just a grain of sand?"

You see he was tempting fate for he had once lost a son to a terrible war. He felt that before he became a shadow of the past that he would at least like to see upon the face of a youth. For he had hidden himself from the world for so long and he but vaguely remembers what another human looks like.

"I have wisdom to teach for he who would listen."

He patiently awaited a brave warrior he felt could change the world.



*Technically I am waiting for DRAGYZ but well just call him a poor soul for now. >_>

Sawaii woke up early that morning, knowing that she had a training with a mysterious man, full with outrageous enthusiasm shinobi. She sat quietly on a hill overlooking Konoha. Sawaii looked on at the morning sun and how it shines on the expansive village below. She smirked with excitement. As she was on her way, the mother nature was not friendly at all. The morning was so damp and misty that it was impossible to distinguish anything more than a few meters away.

"Hmph ... not used to waking up this early nor walking so much ... I shouldn't have eaten that fresh chicken last night."

- she thought to herself followed up by a yawn. Even though she felt very cold, because of the weather outside she was happy inside because she couldn't wait to start her new journey. Upon arriving in the ancient forest, being able to hear the smooth wind sweeping across the her hair and taking a deep breath since she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she enthusiastically greeted the old hermit, who seemed familiar to her, or did he?

OOC: Straight up I forgot Sawaii was a girl. o_O

Upon seeing the silhouette, the hermit smiled for it had been long since he had seen another human. He kindly spoke though never looking up to see her face. He wanted to see her heart before he could see her face.

"Welcome to the Ancient Forest young one. What calamity brings you here so far away from comfort?"

He looked upon the gentle stream below and began to speak to her in a reminiscent voice.

"The water's flow is constantly moving. Constantly adapting to its environment. No matter how you try to contain it, it will eventually find it's way. With enough belief it can even cleave through stone. One day you too will find a way to fight against your problems."

The hermit could sense her loneliness. It wasn't anything like using chakra or anything. He was just empathetic enough to know that everyone in the world harbored sadness and anger. He thought to himself:

"Sometimes we can't understand why we arrive in the most strange places but it is usually because we are subconsciously looking for something...someone to understand us. Whether we would like to admit it or not."

Upon seeing the old man smile, Sawaii felt as if he was an old friend of her, who she doesn't remember. This feeling had been keep going into her mind, she knew the man from somewhere but she couldn't remember from where. The mysterious man was also, somehow, was trying to avoid eye contact with her, which was a shame. They say that once you see Sawaii's eyes you will get stunned for a whole minute, but whatever ... After the man asked her a question, she with a rather assertive tone answered:

"Why am I here you ask? Well ... if I remember right, you promised me a while ago to teach me something out of your beast arsenal of techniques, you said it was a surprise ... so you tell me what we are learning today, sir."

After the old, and at the same time very high intellectual looking, man spoke again, Sawaii thought to herself: "Such wise words ... I should not embarrass myself in front of him, I have to say something intelligent!"

"Emmm ... roses are red violets are blue, I like tomatoes ... so do you?"

- the words escaped Sawaii''s parted lips in a gentle tone, her voice so soothe it was like he was an angel singing, a heavenly and alluring melody that tempted one to verge closer to her. She also gave the old man a slight smirk, which faded into soft, warm smile.

"Tomatoes upset my stomach dear", said the hermit with a slight chuckle. He then smiled and asked her another question.

"So young one, have I wanted to teach you something useful. Come over here and watch me. I want you to think of something or someone that you would protect with your life. Think of their significance in your life. Now imagine them in grave danger. You are surrounded and there is no escape.

You see these trees? Think of them as the enemy closing in on you. You see this rock next to you? Pretend it is a dear one and how much you are willing to sacrifice to see them safe once more."


The hermit lodged his walking stick into the ground and began to speak now in a more assertive tone. One could sense passion in his words as you saw his facial expression shift into that of a determined warrior.

"I want you to feel the flow of chakra in your body and your heartbeat rising. Feel the dire need you would be in and let it cover you. I want you to channel the chakra flowing in you and feel it surge through your body. I want you to change all that into water chakra. Can you feel it swelling within you?"

Upon hearing the mister saying how he doesn't like tomatoes Sawaii became sad. "How can someone not like tomatoes ... he is a weird man for sure." - she thought to herself. As the man smiled and began talking again she made sure to look him closely and pay attention to every word that he was saying. She remembered everything he told her.

Once he was done talking and upon his affirmation Sawaii began by performing his instructions. Sawaii walked towards him, stopping at short range away from him, being at approximately five (5) meters away from him. The wind was smoothly sweeping across her hair and she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. At the moment that she closed her eyes she tried to focus on the energy in her and the one around her, one could also hear the soundly birds, which were around them, singing. Sawaii immediately opened her eyes and started thinking of someone that she would protect with her own life, about the significance of life, about how important it was for her to have the power to protect someone close to her. She tried to imagine how she was in grave danger, surrounded and there is no escape nor any hope of surviving, she alone had to figure out how to use her own unique powers to survive. It was from these moments, where one has to think fast and fight with every single cell of her body to overcome anything or anyone. She was trying to imagine the scene even better, therefore, as the old man already gave her instructions, she tried to imagine the trees as the approaching enemies. The rock next to her, she imagined it as if it was someone dear to her and that she had to protect it with everything, that she had.

Slowly Sawaii starting feeling her chakra flow in her body, rapidly moving around it. Her heartbeat started rising. She felt the dire she was in and let it cover her. Afterwards she swiftly channelled the chakra flowing in her and felt the surge through her body. Next she changed everything that she was channelling out in water nature chakra. Sawaii suddenly felt something in her swelling, she had to exhale the gathered water chakra, therefore she exhaled it out, at great speed, making sure to add the momentum to it to make it more elegant. It gushed out from her mouth, like a waterfall, and after that she made sure to manipulated it to form a small water hurricane that surrounded her, the nearby rock and of course the old hermit, washing away at enemy, in this particular situation the trees, at close quarters. She wanted to protect every single friend of her, she kind of changed the concept. The rock wasn't the only thing that she had to protect, the old man was standing near her therefore it was necessary for her to protect him too.

As everything was done, she turned towards the mister, looked him in the eyes and smoothly talked:


"That's one hell of a technique, an immense thank you for sharing it with me. I hope that I managed to succeed with the performing part!"

- these words came out of Sawaii's lips, with a smooth and gentle tone. She was calm and a bit excited about her next lesson. Sawaii passionate waited for the man to speak.

- these words came out of Sawaii's lips, with a smooth and gentle tone. She was calm and a bit excited about her next lesson. Sawaii passionate waited for the man to speak.
Seeing her perform the technique without him instructing her further amazed the old man. How was she able to pull off such a feat? Was she perhaps a prodigy of her village? He pondered on and in her face he could see much about her.

"Impressive work young one. I can see the honesty in your eyes. You have suffered much and that pain has fueled your desire to improve yourself. Remember that you are not alone. There are others who know your journey and are willing to walk it with you. I learned the hard way after I left the world of men. Fight for your brethren and do not forsake them. They count on you not just for protection but to survive in this war torn world."

The old man had one more task for the young maiden before him. He closed his eyes and spoke once more.

"So tell me, what is your analysis of this technique you just performed for me?"

Sawaii smirked once again, she felt that warm feeling within her. Such beautiful words, this old man was not only wise but also very nice. She was glad that she could meet him.

"The technique itself is pretty useful, especially to counter a fire technique that has been always used against me and I'm so glad that I now have this in my arsenal. I love the unique use of the technique and I exactly know how to use it in the future. I also have some cool combos in mind. Since water is my second favorite element I'm really thankful for you teaching me this therefore one big thanks! I love the technique and I will make sure to put it in good use in my future fights. Thanks once again."

- the words escaped Sawaii's parted lips in a rather calm and enjoyable tone.

"Then consider yourself learned, young maiden."

The old man made a handsign and his appearance changed into Karin Uzumaki. She passed her a scroll with the technique written out in case she needed it for reference.

"Sorry for the rouse. I just wanted to make sure you were the right one. You have exceeded my expectations, Sawaii."

With that she walked away into obscurity.

Note: One the scroll she left a message for her.

"If you should ever need me you need only speak my name."
