Koichi as well as his tiger cub Kumiko were doing a mixture of goofing around and training in a forest somewhere on the outskirts of the Tiger Sage's compound. Naturally, there were wild tigers calling this area home similarly to the areas around the Koketsu compound so Koichi had no problems fitting right in.
Currently, Koichi was stalking a tiger that was minding its own business, drinking from a river. Koichi hid within some bushes nearby, his eyes glued to his 'prey' while Kumiko hid herself in some smaller bushes on the opposite side. Koichi had that same sharp, predatory-like look in his eyes that one would see in a tiger...completely focused and eerily silent.
Kumiko would shift a bit, causing the bush she was hiding in to rustle a little which caused the tiger that the two were stalking to quickly look up, its ears bending a bit in response. This caused both Koichi and Kmiko to retreat back a little in their hiding spots. Fortunately, after a few seconds, the tiger went right back to drinking the water and the moment it did, Koichi grinned mischievously before suddenly rushing out of the bush, Kumiko doing the exact same on her end!
Before the tiger could properly react, the two successfully pounced on the tiger, Koichi biting on its neck, growling a bit while Kumiko chomped down on one of its legs. The tiger was surprised, taken off guard, but it wasn't in any real pain or danger. The tiger roared a bit before easily shaking Koichi and Kumiko off. Koichi fell on his back, but as he did, the young apprentice started to laugh triumphantly while Kumiko ran up to him with a similar look on her face.
"Hah! We got ya this time!" Koichi claimed before nodding at Kumiko who also returned the nod.
"Predator hunting a predator. Guess that makes Mimi and I Al...Alp...Alph..." Once again, a word was escaping Koichi. Before he could figure it out, the tiger that the two were hunting walked up to them, shifting its eyes to Kumiko and then to Koichi. It then exhaled out of its nose at Koichi's face before walking off.
"Heh, he's just mad cuz he can't beat us super predators, ey, Mimi?" Koichi claimed, the cub purring a bit enthusiastically in agreement to his words. With another grin, Koichi took his eyes off of Kumiko and looked up at the sky while he remained on the ground. His grin then slowly formed into a smile as he took in his surroundings. For a moment, Koichi felt something while he remained stationed there...a soothing feeling that felt as if it were coming from his very surroundings. It felt so...natural...but it didn't last...mostly due to Koichi's restlessness.
His smile faded, making way for an annoyed expression as he sat up, Kumiko looking over at him with her head tilted.
"Gaahhh, when is Ryo-sensei gonna teach me something cool?! I can't wait!" he exclaimed in a huff, still as impatient as ever.
Taki OkadaS.A.Wild Chakra
Koichi was born with large reserves of chakra, allowing him to dish out more jutsu over a short time without running out quickly. He also has the potential to perform multiple stronger jutsu without tiring out quickly, giving him a bit of a possible advantage over those who lack large reserves like he does or proper control of their chakra.
Tiger-like Reflexes
A thing that Koichi picked up from the tigers were their impressive reflexes. Like a tiger driven by instinct, Koichi's reaction time can make it difficult for opponents to land proper hits on him, being able to block and avoid most things with relative ease. Only folks with similar reflexes to his could potentially cause Koichi some problems.
