[Closed] Continued Lessons
Who: Sakura and her troublesome teacher.
Where: One of the training grounds
When: The 29th, I think.
Notes: Not all of Shisui's special brand of jounin prep training is completely horrible. Probably.
The past few months had been tiring for various reasons, but since returning from the rather terrible mission that month, sleep and relaxation felt even more scarce than it had been on the road. She was fairly certain that wasn't actually the case, but it felt that way. Still, there wasn't much she could say about it. The Hokage and her teacher were both insistent she was at a point that she should take the jounin test. (Shirakumo himself seemed to concur under the circumstances)
If the prep were this difficult, then she couldn't argue the necessity of it, either. After all, as she understood it, a jounin exam was a one time thing, unlike chuunin exams. If she allowed herself to take it before she was fully prepared, she'd only be wasting her chance and disappointing the people who (for reasons she didn't fully understand) had faith in her abilities.
It was still with some apprehension that she approached their meeting point, one of the training fields not currently in use by groups of genin today. It was the sort of apprehension reserved for the certain knowledge that she was going to be sore and beaten (in one form or another) by the time the meeting was done. She wondered if there was ever a time when that sort of certainty allowed for the possibility of just not going to the place it would happen.
It seemed very unlikely.
