Mama always said I was born on the wild side
One foot in the flames and the other trying to walk the line
Can't say I never saw it coming
I could see the warning signs

Zakku had never expected to be in Konoha.  He also forgot about the temperature difference between Suna and Konoha.  The intense heat to a more neutral temperature felt nice to the blue haired shinobi.  The air blowing through his hair as he ran along the even terrain felt great.  Running down the path towards the training fields Zakku jumped up on a tree branch and flung himself through the air.  "WOO HOO!" He called out as he flew through the air his momentum sending him far.  

Laughing as he spun in the air he disappeared back through the leaves and landed taking off once more.  "I've so gotta do this more often!"  He happily laughed as he darted between more trees.  Heading towards the training grounds he was excited.  Being asked to train a Konoha Shinobi in the use of Raiton was a bit of an ego boost for the Suna Shinobi.  It had also been a while since he'd been able to show another how to use Raiton.  The last was Ren and kami only knows where he went.  Getting closer to the training grounds Zakku slowed his speed before giving a light jump and sliding across the grass.  Seeing the dirt get closer he wondered if he should just slow down running instead.  

Hitting the dirt and sudden stop spun Zakku end over end.  "Yuda no shisai!"  Zakku yelled in surprise as he hit the ground and slid a few feet before coming to a stop.  Dust blew over temporarily hiding him until it faded away showing Zakku groaning his eyes feeling like they were spinning in his head.  "I'm ok!"  He called out to no one in particular before getting back up and dusting himself off.

When had been the last time she had attended something on these training grounds? Two years ago? Something close to that, yeah. In a way it was nostalgic, but Yakitsukeru found it disgusting - the way her stomach tied in knots that made her want to vomit. Tomomi wasn't here either, but they had been the one to recommend this meeting of an elemental teaching of the use of Raiton. Demonstrations were the easiest way to learn the theory behind any given element after all. Once you had that you had everything and it only go easier and easier to complete that sort of thing as your mulled those concepts. She had just arrived at the field, unburdened by most, not all, but most of her scrolls and other items. A tightly wrapped scarf hid the neck and lower face of the girl from view. Her lack of a headband would likely lead most to believe her an academy student still, but that was then clashed at by the number of visible explosive tags on her. Students were never given explosive tags under any circumstance. Not even a village like Iwagakure would ever allow that. An odd dichotomy that accented her look as a man came over the fence and prmopted slide to a stop kicking up dust. She was not impressed by this. Looking around she noted a lack of others and sighed as she realized this was her instructor for today. Burokon Zakku, a raiton specialist from Sunagakure. That was all she was given about the young man, and nothing about him struck her as particularly dazzling other then how utterly stupid he seemed. Not unlike Shigure... she would let him at least show he had some level of intelligence, "Good afternoon Burokon-Sssan, I take it you are the one my... teacher hasss called for me to meet here? If ssso, I thank you for your inssstruction, however, if you don't mind I would like to ssstart asss sssoon asss posssible ssso that I can leave thisss village again and head to Kaminari. One doesss not leave a Raikage waiting on a persssonal sssummon for long, itsss disssressspectful." TAGGED | Here NOTES | Here MUSE | Sealing You In Sound

Tilting his head slightly at her speech he had one thought.  Was she cold?  It didn't feel that bad out here.  It was cooler than what he was used to in Suna.  Questions for later.  Zakku nodded.  "You can just call me Zakku and I wouldn't call me a teacher.  I've been known to raise hell in the village so you might catch my bad rap."  He snorted amused by his own joke.  Having helped an academy student Rin figure out how to use raiton.  Except this time he didn't have a drunk Nezumi to exploit.  He could find a different way though.  

"Any who, I think of Raiton like a pissed of snake.  Poised and angry ready to strike out and tag anyone in its path."  Placing a blunt between his lips he gave the end a quick shock and lit it.   "I used to think you had to grab it and use it but that wasn't right because sometimes the snake reaches back and bites you too."  Exhaling the skunky smoke he pulled out two of his metal stakes.  "You gotta convince that snake it's not angry at you.  It's angry at whoever is in your path."  Holding out his metal stakes he took another long drag.  "Here use these and get a static shock going between them."

Yakitsukeru could handle the general attitude of the boy considering he was, in fact, in charge of her lesson; everything came after education to the young sage apprentice. Her drive and focus to learn everything to form the insane baseline of knowledge that she considered necessary to build off of something that inherently confounded many, that was however only possible if she could find those that could actually teach her the things needed to be able to reach the base line. So far her her trust in this Zakku figure was waning at an incredibly quick rate. First was the use of mental inhibitors, which she found to be a sorry thing for everyone not just this young man. Second was the lack of sensical explanation of what Raiton even was. She was no stranger to analogy and she often had her own formorm of it, but the lack of any real practical theory on the element and what made it similar or different to the others... she was not making progress here. Taking the two rods and staring at them Yakitsu made a slight observation on the boy and his current attitude. Something that made far more sense then it maybe should have, "You do realize I am not naturally ssskilled with raiton? While I can visualize what it isss that you are sssaying, my natural element isss Katon. I wasss ssself-taught in learning to command Doton, and mossst recently I ssstarted to comprehend Sssuiton. Ssso when you sssay create a ssstatic shock, I can do ssso in basssic capacity, but do you mean with chakra? If you do I will need to asssk you clarify the inssstructionsss pleassse."
