Particle Police

The Nohime complex wasn't an impenetrable fortress, it's gates weren't miles high and even it's surrounding fence was only a couple inches higher than the average person. The main gates also wouldn't be closed, it might be to the academy students surprise, but Yoshiko had had them kept open in order to be welcoming. She didn't put up a flyer saying she was available to help train to not be available to help train. Yoshiko actually would be sitting at the steps to the stone complex, her legs were cross and her elbows rested upon her thigh. Hands holding her chin, she'd be relatively lost in thought.

The girl wasn't by any stretch of the imagination 'deep' in thought, her thoughts were incredibly shallow and merely faded into day. Not thought of the day or days to come, but a general appreciation for existence and the suns life. Iwagakure similarly to Sunagakure was often dry, hot and sun bathed. Though the mountains provided all the shadows one needed to stay hidden. The terrain created an often stronger stock than the rest of the villages. It was Yoshiko's goal of the day to help make one of her fellow villagers stronger, well she'd left the flyer open to as many as possible, but fate would have only one show up timely. The boy stopping before the gate would near immediately catch the Nohime's attention.

He'd be looking to some book, a subtle sense of shyness coming from him. Planting one foot firmly upon the earth, the brunette would pull herself to a stand. Her hands removed from her chin to lightly dust off and straighten her dress. Clasping her hands together with interwoven fingers, Yoshiko would approach the boy at a normal pace. Her face lit with a bright smile, as she'd come up to the boy standing outside her clan's complex. "Hi! Are you an academy student here for the training?" Yoshiko would ask as politely as she could, in case he was just a friend of a nephew, niece or cousin. There were plenty of reasons a person could come to the Nohime, but then again he didn't enter immediately so maybe he was just standing their out of chance.

DESCRIPTION:

In an attempt to working on filling all fields of shinobi combat, to prove her jounin worth. Yoshiko decides to prove her stone might against a returning traitor of her father's rule. Corralling an elite jounin into a spar, Yoshiko bites off more than she can chew in learning her stone armor.

Night Training

Yoshiko would hop in eagle form towards the sage, she'd however not get very far before being called out. It wasn't as though the Nohime were going to fight the sage as an eagle, a poof of smoke and shortly after the brunette emerged. She wasn't at all dressed for battle, but that wasn't a factor that'd deter the confidence of the girl. Her bright smile always bleeding through any situation and triumphing best it could to any and all opposition. She'd be more than excited at the chance to test her might against one of Iwagakure's mightiest.

"I didn't know you knew my voice so well, but I should be expecting anything from a sage." The kunoichi would retort in being discovered, but her voice lacked any disappointment. She didn't really expect to fool the sage, especially not for long and especially not after speaking to her. Though playing off as a summoned eagle or maybe a sagely creature could of been fun, a mild amusement in the back of her head to keep optimistic. Fighting against someone of this high caliber was slightly nerve racking, even as a spar the gap of strength between them had to be damn large.

"I'm willing, but I won't promise to be a worthy challenge. I'll try my best though to show a will of stone!" Yoshiko would announce with a few hand signs, before slamming her wrists into the ground. The very earth beneath her climbing up her body and providing a sort of suit of armor, it'd provide her more strength an durability. Already in her light rock state it'd be easy for her to maneuver, but even still the Nohime doubted this jutsu would throw off the sage. If anything she half expected the woman to have the same jutsu or a stronger variant.

Night Training

Yoshiko would be dressed in her nightgown, it was her initial plan to sleep after studying. A few scrolls were open on her desk and a candle just died out nearby. The girl was near her desk, but sitting in her window. She'd look to the moon longing for the feeling of tiredness to settle in. She couldn't find it in her to sleep though, she'd instead simply be lost in her own mind. Her eyes searching the stars, as though one would speak to her. To guide her down the right path in her life, it was a foolish act, but in her restlessness it came easily.

Instead she'd think about training question going out into home's dojo, maybe the backyard for a little practice. She'd however take these thoughts and think about the time, she'd be considered crazy to go out and train at this hour. She didn't need her family worrying, but then that'd trick her into thoughts of the past. She'd always been one to train whenever the feeling struck. She used to sneak out to not worry her family, her fingers tapping at the houses side as she'd come to a decision. Repeating the past she'd decide to sneak out once more, she was the clan leader and it was unnecessary, but she wanted to feel rebellious and free.

Performing her light weight rock technique, then the henge technique Yoshiko would disguise herself into an eagle. Quickly floating off into the night sky, she'd choose to float around the nearby peaks. However the fun of it was drained almost by how much she did it, so shortly into the flight she'd find herself looking for distractions. Someone was training. Fluttering down to the sage working on her staff Yoshiko would watch. Perched like any ordinary bird she'd seem quite at home in the background. The Sage seemed to be yearning more, so when she'd stop to breath the bird would choose to speak.

"Tediously the kunoichi worked away, but alive she did not seem." Yoshiko would observe from a strange narrative, as she wasn't quick to break the illusion of being a bird, but a bird who could talk. "Training should be fun, but you don't seem to be having much. Maybe, if you were to have a training partner, then you'd have more fun?" The bird would ask with an almost smile on it's peak, as it'd continue to speak nonchalantly in Yoshiko's normal tone and perky pitch.
