Battle Plans (Open to all)

Ronin walked into a training field with scrolls tucked under one arm, and holsing pens and ink in his other hand. He sat down against a tree and opened a scroll. He then started drawing battle plans, saving them for a time of need. 'I'll put him here, and her there.' he thought as he drew.

"WHEEEEE!!!" There was a loud thump.

"EEEEEE!!!" Then another. They kept coming, from the area on the other side of the tree.

Ronin stopped drawing and said, "What is that? Whoever you are, come out!" he stood up and got into a fighting stance just in case it was an enemy.

"What?" Toshi poked her head around the tree, grinning widely at him. "Who're you?"

Ronin was stunned, "M-my name is Ronin Takahashi. What is your's?" he sat back down and returned drawing his battle plans.

"I'm Satoshi Kuroda, call me Toshi, nice to meet you, I'm from Kusa too!" she said, smiling, all in one breath.

"You meen you're from Kusa? I've never met anyone from Kusa while in Kohona before. Who long have you been here? And who did you travel with?"

"I've beeo here for a few years, but I come back once in a while to babysit my nieces and nephews, and I always travel alone," she said, smiling.

"Huh. Well, nice to meet you." and he went back to drawing his battle plans. He tryed to make each one different, but now it was becomming a big challenge to do so.

"What'cha doin'?" she asked, hanging upside down by her knees on one of the low branches.

"Well, I'm drawing battle plans for emergancy situations, like maybe the forest of death exam, in the Chunin exams, or when I'm in a sticky situation in a battle. Just pull one of these out and an instant idea for a stragity comes. I think it'll be usefull in the future."

"Ohh, you're a planner, huh?" she asked, grinning. "Cool! My friends say I'm a little sugarball!"

"Heh heh." he cuckled and went back to drawing, "So where do you live while you are here in Kohona?"

"I stay at the Uchiha mansion," she said, swinging on the branch. "But it's so lonely there. There's barely anyone to play with except my master."

"Oh. I stay in the forest of death." he looked up at her while he said that then went back to his planning. He finished one, rolled the scroll back up and put it next to him, then picked up an empty one and started a new one.

"Ooh, that sounds fun!" she said, smiling. "There are a lot of animals here. What do you eat, then?"

"Oh, when I'm hungry I usually hunt in the forest of death, but while I'm in the village and starving, I'll grab a small bowl of raman." he smiled sweetly at Toshi.

"Ah, you like ramen too! I know someone like you," she said, laughing. "Heh, do you get mad easily?"

"Yes, I do. People aggatate me a lot, and I hate it. I just want to punch them, but I withstand that urge."

"...oh..." Toshi inched away on the branch a bit. "You remind me a lot of Yuudai Uchiha."

"He sounds powerfull, I mean hearing the last name Uchiha seems they would be pretty powerful." he finished his second scroll.

"Nah, I think he's a cute kid," she said, grinning. "Don't tell him that, though, he'd slice me. Have you met my friend Ember?"

"No I haven't. She sounds really nice, I'd like to meet her." he wasn't paying attention to his battle plans anymore. He was interested in hearing about Ember.

"Oh, she's really nice! She's gorgeous, but not shallow," she said, giving him a thumbs up. "She's super strong, too, and really loyal to her friends!"

"She does sound like a nice person." he smiled, leaned back against the tree and looked at the sky with envy. He wanted to be free too.
