[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.

no subject
She wasn't entirely disoriented ending up in another part of the forest rather than underground, as she was operating under the assumption that this was some sort of genjutsu and such rules didn't apply to those. It was a surprise to see her sensei standing there, though.
Surrounded...by bunnies.
She blinked, and glanced around the small area of forest a moment before she spoke. "What...is this?" Because that seemed the most direct route of determining what the genjutsu (as she was still certain it was) happened to be about.
did DW change their default font or something
Yeah that's right, they were summons. Just uhm-- just don't laugh.
Possibly? Does it look weird?
Bunnies were...an interesting choice, though. They didn't seem particularly useful for offense or defense. But--if it was Shisui's, then there was more to it than cute woodland creatures.
She took a step toward him with some hesitation, unsure if she should move or not, glancing between he and the rabbit on his shoulder. "...A mentor?" Well, some summons at least spoke, she was sure of that. So being a mentor wasn't unbelievable other than the fact that the normal lifespan of a rabbit made that impossible...
"But the summoning jutsu requires a summoning contract to perform, right?"
