Chakra control was a mostly foreign thing to Toru who had grown up with huge reserves, and had them expanded exponentially now by being a jinchuuriki. But simply by being a jinchuuriki, and a kenjutsu practitioner he knew how to still his mind well, to become so immersed with himself that he might as well have become the mist that lingered in the village - though less so in these warmer summer months.
Kita stood, and Toru blinked at him once, slowly. The other was taller, but Toru's height never bothered Toru and he was still growing accustomed to having his most recent growth spurt. It was possible if Kita was particularly attentive to politics - most were not - that he might know who Toru was. But the young leader also had no indication about him to being a leader. He wore a summer yukata in a light blue, tucked into some basic straight-legged light cotton trousers.
No kage hat, no robes, and no headband currently in sight.
There was a crude way that Kita spoke, and it reminded Toru immediately of how he had been when he had been an orphan on the streets. His superiors were of no concern to him, he hated those that had any modicum of wealth. He had entered the academy because he had no other tools of trade to fall back on if he ever wanted to make money and not be homeless when he left the orphanage.
Things ended up different, his opinions changed but ultimately what happened was he took the bull by the horns and dragged it through the mud. The nation he grew up in was not the same one when he had taken charge, poverty was rapidly decreasing and those with lesser means could afford a place to live, and food on the table. By becoming a leader, he had distributed from the rich without killing them as he had once wanted to, his mind molded now to love and care for the nation unlike ever before.
"It is not magic, nor is it quick. But if you are honest with the internal process, you will see results almost immediately." Toru shared, a hand tucked into the pocket of his pant, the other simply by his side.
"To meditate is to face oneself, it can be difficult to look upon the things one does not like about oneself, but if you are not in harmony with yourself, then your chakra won't be either. Focus on your breath, lose everything that is on your mind. Jutsu can give you the means to be strong, sparring may give you the physical, meditation and thought it will give you a cool mind to weave the other two together in combat to survive against others."
Perhaps Kita thought otherwise, but he had never fought against real shinobi and Toru knew that sometimes there were only seconds to act sometimes in the heat of battle when someone has created a play and trap so well-crafted against you, that if you are not thinking clearly you could die.
