Early Morning exercise.

He jumped from point to poin on the mountains, zipping around as much as he could, climbing, then descending sharply. He was near the border, things were boring right now, the Raikage was currently trying to decide which group of shiniobi genin to assign to him. That was hardly the kind of thing he felt up to handling right now. All he wanted was a peaceful place in which he could relax, he soon found himself at the begining of a regular mountain trail. He sat down there, under the shade of a lone tree and waited, waited for someone, or something. He closed his eyes and just allowed his ears to take in the noises around him. The water trickling under the earth, the sound of small animals. The sound of the slight wind blowing by him, disscheveling his hair.

I wonder how long it will be?

His mind wandered to many things, as quickly as the fast moving clouds above him changed shape. Even while resting he was still thinking of one thing or another. These particular thoughts were of how to win a game he had just learned to play. It was called chess, and there were so many combinations. A little like Go, which he was more accustomed to playing, but with differnt rules.

If I vary the positions of the pawns, I can make a more powerful wall, rather then a sraight line, it has to fluctuate to allow you to damage your opponents forces. I mustnt loose the queen either, too valuble of a piece to use foolishly, I'll have to be careful with it.

Kacey zig-zagged along with the interwoven paths, twisted through the trees in the forest. Every now and then she would find some form or other of the forrest's inhabitants: bugs, woodland creatures, etc. About 5 days ago she'd left her village to explore the land around the small clutter of dwellings. She'd simply packed a small bag of food and some extra clothes, now thrown over her shoulder, swinging with her movements. The forrest was quite thick, so Kacey could tell when it began to thin drastically that she would come to a clearing. She was correct in assuming so. Less than 20 paces later she emerged into a clearing where a lone tree sat with a man underneath. She smiled, walking over. His eyes were closed so Kacey leaned over his relaxed form..

Are you alive?she asked, icy blue eyes blinking.
