Was this even worth Ryuichi's time? They sit utop the academy at its highest point with crossed legs and a casually swinging foot as their crimson eyes dart over the files of a particular student. Nothing on their history save for two key points.
And this was enough for Ryuichi to want to train the kid? Clearly not, but it's not like the silver-haired killer had anything to say about it. It was an assignment given to them, same as any assassination or espionage..."Prepare this one for an upcoming exam" says the Sennin. So, being the perfectly obedient and not at all rogue-factor ninja that Ryuichi is, They'll have to train the kid.
They casually toss the papers over their shoulder as they burst into flames from a simple fire ninjutsu with its ashes scattering in the chilly Kumo night wind. The only light illuminating the silhouette of the academy (and in turn, Ryuichi) was the moon in a semi-dramatic fashion. Crimson, glittering eyes staring down the only path leading to the building. Except....the boy's plight reminded Ryuichi of a certain something. Their eyes occasionally dart to their ankle where a nasty scar barely poked out from the boot of the ninja. Ryuichi was a student once...and while newly inducted into the academy, they had made a serious mistake while training and hurt their ankle to the point of seemingly unhealable damage.
Technically the damage is still there. Bone that will never heal properly, muscle that twitches ever so slightly when sidestepping the wrong way, and the time it takes for Ryu to require resting when traveling on foot is greatly increased...at least, it would be.
Ryuichi had learned to press on. Despite all the pain, despite being at death's door, despite it ALL. If you can breath, you can fight. So Ryuichi fully intended to bring this to bear and teach this student one thing.
Remember to breath.

Student shows a great affinity towards Genjutsu, and to a lesser extent Kenjutsu. High possibility of becoming a valuable asset towards Kumo's needs. |
Student possesses a form of asthma that is triggered primarily in cold weather. This is the major factor that will hold this youth back. |
