training

miyuki was wearing her black kimono and a sun hat. she didnt want to wear het akatsuki coat yet since she just joined. she stared at the endless sand, trying to see if her vision could adjust. for some reason, heat and sand made her totally blind. making her see nothing but sand molecules.

"Slightly off the beaten path are we?"

Seiyuuki was crouched upon a large stone, clothed in his regular Kage robes, including the mouth veil. It was all necessary for the conditions out here.

"But the question is why do you venture from the path, is it not?"

" assuming there is a path at all, i just need a change of scenery to better myself." she called out. using a riddle so solve a riddle.

Seiyuuki giggled, a little odd for the Kazekage to be doing. After all, he wasn't the most normal of humans, though it was doubtful Miyuki would be able to see his true atomic structure in the sand storm.

"There is indeed a path, though it is probably beaten to death at this point, making it's stream hardly visible." This was less of a riddle then it was truth, whenever the winds increased in teh desert the roads disappeared completely. "You find it difficult out here, yes? In that case, you've found the necessary change of scenery."

miyuki nodded. " yes, the more you look at a painting, the more detail you see. it is indeed the right place, but the question is, why are you in this area?"

Seiyuuki's puppet grinned beneath it's mask, making the eyes twinge slightly.

"For the same reason, of sorts. The more you look at a painting, the more you can paint." He then reached up a hand, snapping his fingers. The gale wind then stopped, the remaining sand dropping to the ground, inevitably clearing Miyuki's vision.

"You see, the more I paint, the deeper I can hide the true meaning in the painting." He then looked to his right, Sunagakure being a mere twenty maybe thirty feet away, it's high walls and sandy colors having been hiding and camouflaged in the sand storm.

miyuki nodded. "yes, but it still cannot hide what it truly is. that is why hundreds of people look at paintings and work together to find the meaning." she was refering to the akatsuki.

Seiyuuki then hopped off the rock. "And are you the first to begin this work? They say the first few are doomed to fail. And perhaps the meaning isn't always hidden, but rather obvious from the start. " It should be to her atleast, after all, Akatsuki wasn't after the villagte, they were after the Jinchuuriki, him.

"yes, but not for you. im for someone else. just remember, you can never hide from me." he said, her eyes glowing.

Seiyuuki raised an eyebrow at this, "In that case, whatever it is you are looking for in the painting, I will protect it, paint over, for it is in that painting's interest." The wind then picked up again, sand blowing everywhere, Seiyuuki and the Hidden Sand Village disappearing.

"It was nice talking to you." His voice merely a whisper in her ear.

miyuki stood up and left. her concience releived.
