I WILL BE YOUR LIGHT, YOUR BEACON OF HOPE

Red had been granted leave from Takigakure to watch as Hotarubi and other genin participated in the recent chunin exams. As much as he wanted to, the genin didn't feel like he was quite ready to put his name in the running. Not yet, anyway. Hotarubi, on the other hand, had grown immensly since their former bout some year or so ago. And it certainly got him thinking.

'You need to train.' He thought to himself. 'Where are you weakest right now?'

The question rattled in his mind for some time as he mozied about the city of Kuwana. He knew Taijutsu was easily his greatest asset. He was never very good at manipulating chakra. He never felt like he had much to work with in the first place. Not like Ryuu, or Etsuko, or Kunikunosaku.

'Well, maybe that was a good place to start.' He mused, 'Focus on what you're good at and get better, and turn your weakness into an asset.' The genin let out a small sigh, a disgrunted expression forming over his typically emotionless face. 'But how?'

He continued to walk around the city, trying to appreciate the vastly different sights and atmosphere from what he had grown so accustomed to in his home of Takigakure. The air wasn't as thick here, nor was it anywhere near as humid. The sounds of rushing water from rivers and waterfalls were replaced with the hustling and bustling din of the city. People going thrugh ordinary lives, working ordinary jobs. He wondered for a moment what that would be like.

Soon, though, something caught his attention. It was a rather large facility, and the banner overhead certainly rang a bell. 'Okada Gym?' He thought to himself. 'Like the show fighters?'

Intregued, Red made his way inside, and a small grin stretched across his face when he was met with a heart warming sight. All around there were people training. Wrestling, boxing, throwing each other around, some training with weights, others on punching backs, or using jump ropes, kettle bells, anything and everything. There was a sublte smell in this place of both blood and sweat, but it was a reasuring thing for him. At the center, there seemed to be some light sparring going on, and Red made his way forward.

"THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT, KEEP THE SPACING! MOVE IN, GET HIM TO THE GROUND, OH-, Ohhh, shit...”

The man must have been some kind of coach. Curly sandy blonde hair topped his head, with a bit of unkempt facial hair poking out around his face. While he may not have been too tall by Red's standards, the fellow maybe only an inch or two taller than he was, he was built like a fortress. Large arms, powerful shoulders, legs like tree trunks, though the beer belly he had seemed a slight contrast to the rest of him.

"Excuse me.” Red said on his approach.

"Eh? Oh, hey there kid,” the man started. "Okada Junji. Never seen you in here before, you lookin' to bulk up or what? Lemme know what the Okada can help you accomplish, bud.”

That was... A bit odd, he thought. Likely, he just wanted another member for their gym.

"I wanted to go next.” Red said, his thumb pointing to the ring as his gaze turned.

"You wanna go next, huh? Well. We'd have to- Oh hey, hey! Taki, what are you doin' here?”

A loser like you ain't got no guts!

As the hustle of things went on the gym Taki found herself at the center of the action, taking inventory of the place and looking about at everyone she was one of the coaches in the area and was also a bit of a talent scout looking over at the group of individuals and spotting any new faces. Out of the corner of her eye she’d spot someone she hadn’t seen before he stood out amongst the crowd and looked to be talking to her cousin Junji, he wore bright red and had an interesting look about him, which prompted the orange leotard-clad woman to keep an eye on the boy.

As she was called out by her cousin Junji as she approached she’d look towards the boy he had sharp red eyes and something about his demeanor was interesting to her. "Just keeping an eye on da talent, my assignment ended early.” the girl would say as she looked to the boy as he made his way towards the ring. "Dis Tori's next opponent?” the girl would say as she looked to her cousin whilst pointing to the boy in red. "What's ya name kid?" the girl only spoke a few words but her Okadan accent was thickly applied to her her words the foreign drawl dripping on her words.

Meanwhile in the ring another man stood waiting for him. He wore a white uniform with an orange flame pattern and had long blonde hair, he would crack his knuckles and speak with a smooth voice his Okadan accent on the softer side. "What're we waitin on?” the man would keep himself leaning against the turnbuckle on the ring ropes finishing off a stretch and standing up, this was Tori Okada he was one of the earliest members of the organization when it began roughly 2 years ago and served as the benchmark for testing out some of the new recruits.

"Hold ya horses Tori, we gotta get the new kid his paipas." Junji would state, it was little piece of information he had mentioned before spottng Taki. Taki would take a moment to head to the front office and grab a waiver for him coming back with a pen. Meanwhile as he waited Tori would lean up against the ropes looking down at Shinichi a smile on his face as his hair leaned off to the side.

"Nice to meetcha man, names Tori." as he introduced himself and plesantries were exchanged Taki would return with a sheet of paper in her hands. "Here ya go kid...this here is a private gym so we need ta know where you're from liabilities n such ya know, Junji don't keep Tori waitin give em someone ta lock up wit." In addition to being the coach she was also occasionally given some managerial privileges. After getting his signature Taki would take a step back and the boy would be moved off to the side as the next match went on.

"You're all clear, sorry about dat we normally make ya do dis when you come in." the woman would say rubbing the back of her head they normally run a tighter ship but its been a rather busy week, with all the travelers. "What brings ya ere...Awl da way from Takigakure eh, here for de exams?" the girl would say looking to the red clad kid, he wasn't the first one she'd met but so far outside of a token few they seemed pretty cool. As they waited around she'd watch the next match that went on.

Red cocked his head, his typically expressionless eyes going wide when he caught the gaze of the woman approaching.

'Holy shit,' he thought to himself before mumbling, "Okada Taki... I've, uh... It's an honor to meet you in person. Bikutā Shinichi, but just about everyone just calls me Red.”

Red tried his best not to show how badly he was geeking out inside by being in the young woman's presence. Despite being two years her senior, Taki Bakudan Okada was already a legendary kunoichi. She was the main staple for the Okada way of fighting, a powerful and showy style that relied on striking, grappling, and incredible strength. Red knew he wasn't the strongest, nor the fasted, but if there was any place he would be able to change that and become the hero he dreamed to be, training under Taki and the Okada was an easy answer.

The Genin wasted no time signing over the paperwork, hardly reading a single line as he did his best to contain his excitment. It was a subtle smile on his face, but to any that knew him, that was far more than anything he typically showed. And inside, he was down right giddy to get things started. He was happy to exchange pleasantries with the fellow in the ring who went by the name Tori, but before stepping inside the ring, Red would remove his shirt, jacket and shoes, and wrap his hands and feet in tape while he answered Taki's questions.

"For the most part.” He answered. "I was granted permission to come and watch a teammate in the exams, though I myself... Well, I guess I didn't quite hit the mark to enter.” It was hard to admit in front of someone he idolized the way he did Taki. She was one of a handful of people Red had made an entire notebook on, filled with their accomplishments, their strengths and weaknesses. The others he had notebooks on, though, were similar high ranking shinobi, or village or clan leaders.

As Red stood from the bench and entered the ring, he tried to calm his nerves at the thought of now sparring in front of Taki. No doubt she'd be watching his every move, but that gave him even more reason to keep to his strengths. The genin centered himself, his hands coming together before his chest as he took in and released a long and steady breath before entering a fighters position. His hands raised, one balled into a fist while the other remained slightly open and ready to guard, but his eyes... Some might say he gave Tori a deathless stare, but there was a fire in his eyes that blazed, ready to prove himself. If there was one thing Red knew about himself, he was a tenacious spirit. He never knew when to quit, and the only reason he lost to Hotarubi in the past was because that earthen behemoth knocked him unconcious before Red could.

As the girl came up towards the young man she’d recognize his star struck face the second he saw it, it looked like this guy was a fan she was flattered but hadn’t realized just how far her popularity had gotten. It was evident by the look on his face that he was a bit flustered to be in her presence after getting him signed in and having him all cleared to take on her cousin in the ring his fight would conclude once again in short order, he would answer saying that he was given permission to come here by his leader and attempted to enter into the exams but didn’t have the chops to cut it. "Well hey, let’s make sure you can make it to da next one, show me what you got Red!”

With that he'd have the green light to get in the ring and with a pat on the back he was good to go. Tori would make his way towards the young man a hand outstretched for him to take a fist bump a sign of respect. If he took it, Tori would begin encircling the boy at a bit of a fast pace. He wasn't the most Tai centric member of the Okada clan but he was good enough to take on most and wasn't going to make it easy. Taki would look on from the outside eager to see what the kid could do. She observed the muscles the boy had on him, he certainly looked like he knew how to carry himself. "This oughta be interestin’” the girl would think as she kept her eyes on him, he had a rather cold look in his eyes there was an intensity "ruthless aggression.”

As Tori would begin he’d make his way towards the boy moving towards him at a high speed and before had a chance would execute a quick spinning elbow strike to the boy’s head, Tori was fast he was well rounded in most areas but used that to use his advantage taking his praticed speed and combining with his Taijutsu to make for an effective fighting style. Taki would observe as the battle went on wondering how the boy would react to his onslaught.

Contrary to what he may have thought, there was no sound of a bell to start the match, but this was just a practice bout, he supposed. Tori simply raised his hand, and Red would respectively do the same, bumping fists to start the match. Red kept his elbows in, his hands raised remaining open in a readied guard position.

Immediately, Tori would throw his body into motion, spinning with an elbow aiming high at Red's head. He was fast, but not as fast as Red would have anticipated of an Okada. They were rumored to be incredible with Taijutsu, and he only assumed they would be the best of the best, more than enough to test his mettle. With a quick shuffle of his feet, Red would tilt his torso back, evading the elbow with his quick reflexes as he moved to take position at Tori's side.

As his feet carried him Red would find an opening at Tori's side, and he'd fire two quick left jabs to the man's ribcage. Red let out a huff of breath with each punch, emphasizing his strikes before he found himself on sure footing. Hoping to catch his opponent off guard, Red raised his foot and aimed a fast but powerful right kick straight for Tori's chin.

As Tori made his way in using his speed, he was quick on his feet and as he threw out his elbow strike he’d see the boy duck back and follow him with his eyes seeing him turn about as if to intercept him he was, just about fast as him if not a little faster. Seeing this, he’d turn about and attempt to intercept his strikes with his hands, there was some heft behind his blows but Tori was able to to catch him in time, using quick rotation.

As he clasped his hands Tori would look too him rather impressed, and in that instance Tori would pull the boy inwards grabbing hold of him by his back and then tossing him over his head, after landing on the ground he’d turn him self over and stand up to his feet. "You’re fast kid…but you’ll need more than that to beat me.” he wasn’t going to lie thought the kid had some heft in his hands for a genin. Something that Taki had noticed, as she watched him fight.

Tori being a good sport would allow the kid a chance to stand up to his feet. Tori was more of a Shinobi than most of the members of the family and taught Taki a lot of what she knew in terms of combat outside of Taijutsu however he was known for his speed but this genin had a lot to match but ever resourceful he needed to rely on his full bag of tricks to pull one over on Red here. "C’mon Tori drop this kid!” his family would say. Tori would keep his stance and gesture for the kid to come too him. "C’mon show me something.” he’d say.
