[Senju Kazuto]

Quietly the Senju reached for the clippers and eyes the small tree before him. Set in its pot he would try to look for an angle for an angle to start pruning the bonsai. Taking a moment he would reach towards one of the small branches and begin to cut away the budding leaves that looked sick, or too long or simply that didn't comply with the aesthetic that he preferred. It was a quiet work, methodical and that required concentration, but very much like a form of meditation he did it before training. Kazuto had found that this and tending to his garden were things that not only brought some calm and quiet to him but also he found himself enjoying them as much as he did fishing or wood carving. Still, as he sat underneath the white tree with its silvery leaves underneath his tree and awaited his visitor. He wasn't quite sure of why the girl had taken some level of fondness to him or had decided to ask him to train again, but seeing that he had for the first time since he could remember more free time than he should, he might as well use it to help the younger shinobi of the village that would soon take their place upon the walls, defending the village as well the honor of their clans. As he heard the steps on his garden, he would recognize them being not from his fiance nor his grandmother and certainly not from Kazui, his apprentice. As he placed the pruned leaves on a small plate and left the clippers on the right side of the tree. As he raised his eyes to meet the newcomer, he saw the familiar look that most Nara shared. "You're early." Kazuto said leaned against the white bark of the tree. "I hope you didn't lose yourself on your way here, Shun."
