This topic only flashes back to a mere few weeks ago, the night before the gathering in which the new Sage of Six Paths appeared.
Sometimes Roku could lose himself in the beauty of the Village Hidden in the Leabes. The weather was balanced, never wretchedly hot, nor cold, in complete contrast to what he was used to in Kumogakure. In Kumogakure, because of the extreme altitude, it was always either hot or cold, and there were very few cool days unless you could catch a glimpse of it just after sunrise or sunset. Nature surrounded the you Jounin in what seemed like complete harmony. The trees grew straight, squirrels ran throughout the branches. Badgers burrowed beneath the trees. He even caught a glimpse of a fox who had run by, perhapse in pursuit of some type of prey. The Village Hidden in the Leaves... it was the only place that this type of beauty could be observed.
Roku sat in the center of a little-used training ground in the village. One could tell it was not often used, as weeds could be seen growing up where the ground should be packed to tightly and vegetation should be burnt away because of the tendency of the village to possess the affinity to fire. But that was what made this a good place in Roku's opinion. Nature ran rampant here... it was perfect. There were a few Taijutsu dummies on the other side of the rectangular dirt area the young Jounin sat in. The rectangle's dimensions were about 50 meters by 25 meters. He supposed it was supposed to be two 25x25 sparring rings. The dirt was mostly packed tight except in the few places where plants had worked their way through, loosening it. Surrounding the training area on two adjacent sides, North and West, was a light forest of what looked like mostly oak trees. To the south was a stream that led into the village, probably man-made as an ornament. To the east was a road that led into the main part of the village, and it was this that Roku watched in anticipation.
The young Jounin was waiting for an elite Jounin from the Leaf village. He didn't know much about him except that he was a Master of Bukijutsu, perhaps the best Shinobi to exist at Bukijutsu, and Roku wanted to observe the way he handled himself because it would be something he soon took an interest in. Though his primary focus was to utilize Taijutsu only, at least for the first part of combat, it couldn't hurt to observe a Shinobi skilled in something he wanted to gain adeptness in. He sat waiting patiently, knowing that this Jounin, whoever he may be, would not sneak up on him or make an attempt to sneak attack him, for it was a simple spar.
