Manzo walked onto the training field cracking his knuckles. While he was still an ANBU in training he was he was going to be taking his ANBU exam at any time. That meant stepping into a whole new world, particularly having to deal with shinobi that wanted to leave the village illegally, or for that matter enter illegally. He needed to make sure he was ready for the worst case scenario. What if a Captain or a Sennin decided to leave and it was up to Manzo to stop them. He couldn’t just step aside and say go right ahead. Well maybe he could but he doubted his honor would let him do something so blatant.
He looked around for someone to spar with hoping that someone would present themselves. There were not many AiT these days, so that was not a very good proposition. Besides what fun was it fighting someone your own rank when you could really push yourself.
Not spotting anyone right away he began stretching while keeping an eye out. Spying his old ANBU Captain, he wondered about all the rumors about him, how he had enslaved innocents to serve as his slaves, how he had summoned demons to en-spelled the Hokage himself to simple let him leave the ANBU corps without any punishment despite breaking nearly every law on the books. Manzo had not been at the meeting but every story he had heard, had been told by someone there or someone that knew someone to be there and each story was even larger than the last.
Maybe Manzo would get to see this dark power for himself. Would he be risking his soul from just sparring with him?
It had to be worth finding out ”Takshi-sensei would you like to spar?”
