The deluge that shrouded Amegakure was pleasant to Norisuke. It was hydrating, pleasant, to be caught in a heavy rainstorm that could last for days on end. While most had complaints, from your clothes clinging to your skin which weighed you down, to the uncomfortable feeling of socks heavily soaked squishing between your toes, to the strength sapping chill that came from fresh rain, Norisuke relished it. Rain seemed to… Form a barrier in terms of crushing society, into opening a realm where spirits ran free, fed off of typical human discomfort. The deluge almost seemed to bring Norisuke his own reality where his thoughts constantly raced as heavily as the rain fell.[break][break]
Soft amethyst eyes gazed forward, but were distant. Various aspects that dwelled heavily on his attention span, the reasoning for being out today, thinking about his past (moreso his family), while concentrating on Suiton left the chuunin’s mind from being directly focused on the road ahead. The Amegakure headband he wore uniformly, around his forehead, kept the torrents from blinding him entirely. This allowed him to at least see the differences between puddle and road heights to further his training. [break][break]
His chakra flowed through his feet, creating a polarization between the thick puddles, grayed and murky, allowing him to walk on water. Training whenever he could to further understand his ability as a practitioner of Suiton. Almost always, Norisuke took the low road of the uneven streets of Amegakure just to take advantage of the puddles that could probably consume him entirely, meanwhile other folks passed on higher ends of the road, which only a few inches of water covered. Granted, there were times where he did feel bad about it. The rain would shroud the fact that his feet were above the water, dancing over it gently, and a commoner, even a fellow member of Amegakure’s Shinobi would follow him into the puddles, and they’d get drenched from a lack of awareness. Aloof, in his own reality that the deluge brought, the Hozuki quickly forgot about those instances after a curt mandatory apology. [break][break]
Granted, today’s quarry wasn’t necessarily a day of training, but rather research. The chuunin held scrolls beneath his right arm, parallel to the metal goliaths that soared into the skys, acquired from the academy on a briefing of the genin who were part of the platoon he was recently assimilated into. They were held in watertight casing to prevent spoilage, which he figured that the record offices would at least try to make waterproof paper, it couldn’t be that hard. You see, the lack of ability to read about the strengths (and shortcomings) of the genin he was going to assist irritated him a bit, but the presence of various clans of the platoon he was in intrigued him. Norisuke’s own clan was an oddity, meanwhile these ones were likely indoctrinated, welcomed, and grew within Amegakure as it benevolently grew in power. Meanwhile these scrolls would grant him better ways to teach, understand, and even potentially learn from the group of genin. He wasn’t arrogant enough to assume that he knew everything better than they did, but if he understood better before he met them, it would at least hold a certain dynamic between them.
