Nagakoto stood on the roof of a large building within the Village. His armor was a little banged up from his fight with Asura, although no real damage had been done to it. Naga chuckled as his mind ran back to that even, which had taken place only a few hours lately. "It is an Impressive technique to say the least." Nagakoto mentioned to himself quietly, speaking in regards to Asura's Exploding Clone Technique. Naga made a hand seal, creating several clones around him. However, unlike the Exploding Clones, these were meant to be just a distraction. "If he was stronger that technique would have actually had me worried." Shortly afterwards the clones all disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Naga sat down on the roof and removed his mask. The breeze felt good on his sweaty face. He had spent the entire time thinking about the fight that he forgot that he still had his battle mask on. "Although, weak or not I still have no way of defending against an attack involving real clones. I will have to develop my skills and mind accordingly then."
"I suppose that I would have never been in this predicament if I had started training." Naga's thoughts began to shift from this excitement that he felt to a more introspective state of mind. In a way he started to feel as though he let down the elder members of his clan. He knew that they were grooming him to be the rightful member of the Jiin, and yet he decided to slack off and do other things. "Strange that I use to feel that actually training was beneath me, but now that I have met someone such as Asura, I guess that I had better start taking my obligation serious now." Naga thought to himself. He began to feel the gravity of his decisions, although a little depressing he knew that he was still capable of turning things around. Naga shook his head and stood up. "Well, I guess that there is no point in dwelling on it. Its time for me to make up for my poor decisions." Naga jumped down from the building and began to fall towards the ground. As he fell he began to focus chakra towards his feet and guided himself towards the side of the building. In a seemingly effortless attempt Naga began running down the side of the building, keeping the same speed, but maintaining maximum control.
"There is one thing that annoys me about him. How does someone like him learn such a powerful technique?" Although there was no ill will between the two of them Asura represented something that Naga just didn't like in people, oblivious fools that had great power. Maybe it was fueled by jealousy, but it was just something that he could not let go. Furthermore he felt as if this one technique was all the Asura had to go on, which only increased his discomfort about his newly attained rival. "I refuse to be overshadowed by that fool. I will live up to my name and destiny." Naga's motivation was very high, perfect for him to get some training out of the way. [538 words]
