After having gotten off the boat that got them off of Mizu no Ki, and onto the Ho no Ki coastline, Saisuki paid for a caravan that would get them to Kumo.

Now Saisuki was seated across Ikawa, his legs crossed as though he were a child, but he was also very serious at the moment. He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a pill. He handed it to Ikawa. "Take this."

"It's a sleeping pill. It's meant for kidnappings or caputre, so it's heavy duty stuff and you'll knock out almost instantly, and will be out for a while. Your training is gonna begin..." Saisuki paused for a moment and pointed at his forehead with his left hand, as it was his free hand, "up here in your head."

He waited for Ikawa to take the pill and swallow it.

Ikawa soon found himself asleep. Literally, it hit him like a sack of bricks to the face and he passed out on his end of the cart.

Saisuki sighed, and closed his eyes.

'No, that's Jiro. No, that's Hanako. No, thats Taro. No that's Enok--- hey, what're you wearing under tha--- No, stop. Now's not the time for that.' he thought to himself, as he focused. Man he was inside of a lot of people. 'There we go, Ikawa.'

Focusing in on Ikawa, Saisuki isolated the part of him that was still inside the boy, and he pulled at the foundations of the world, visualizing them like chains in order to draw the kid into his own mind. 'Daiwaikyoku: Reikoku Kagai (Great Torture: Ruthless Assault).' he slowly opened his eyes to the world that was Ikawa's mind. He smiled that this ability could be... abused this way. It was only the second time Saisuki didn't do this to someone he intended to shuffle off the mortal coil, and only the first time he intended to use it for teaching. Best of all, he wouldn't be disorientated in this place, since he was sleeping physically.

[This is the part where DD describes the entire world; GO. NUTS.]

Saisuki smiled at the boy, "Welcome to the inside of your mind." He took this moment to actually look at his surroundings.

Ikawa quickly passed out after he took the pill. The shinobi soon found himself in a realm he had never seen before. He was standing on a grassy plain, a few trees were in the distance; before him stood a lake, it seemed endless to the eye. Above him was the night life; stars and two planets shined in the night sky. The water reflected the night sky revealing a beautiful scene. A breeze of wind shifted the plains to the left slightly and then moved back. 'What is this place...' he wondered. Ikawa heard a voice behind him say "Welcome to the inside of your mind." The young teen turned to see his master, Saisuki. 'This place... it's so beautiful... how have I never seen this?' "Sensei? How is this possible?" he asked confused.

"You've never seen this place because, as I said, this is the innards of your own head." Saisuki said, answering the thought Ikawa had, "This happens to be my particular skill, where I turn your very mind into it's own world and step into it."

He looked around and seemed to enjoy the way it looked, "Here in this place, when I pull you into it, fatigue does not exist for me, and I can regenerate from almost any wound you inflict upon me. That means I can permanently be a training dummy for this kind of lesson."

"But first," Saisuki said to Ikawa, looking at the boy, "tell me, why did you become a Shinobi?"

"Since I've been young, all I ever wanted to do was travel the world; I wanted to see what was out there, what there was for me. I was always so secluded in the village and I never really made any friends... I didn't want to stay around the village forever. Even though being a shinobi is dangerous, I knew that I would take up the challenge; I wanted to become strong... I wanted to be someone like you, Sensei, or the Mizukage. I could die today, tomorrow, or even the next day, but I know I've at least accomplished something... and that was that I got to at least to meet someone like you and leave the village, even if it is for a short while." Ikawa let out a smile after all of that was said.

Saisuki nodded. A lot of young Genin said something similar, so he wasn't surprised. "You know that Shinobi business is often in killing, right?"

Rather than wait for the answer, he continued, "Which means, you, at least, have to defend yourself from other Shinobi. The Chuunin Exams... I'm not sure what they'll be like, but killing will likely be legal in one of the rounds due to it being out of the way and not very monitor-able. The last thing I want to happen is for you to end up dying at a rather young age."

"Got any idea on the kind of Ninja you want to be?" he asked, "Take me for instance; I am a strategist, but only by hobby and need. I myself am usually an offensive Shinobi, and I use the Fire Element. I let my sword skills take over for my defense, so nearly all my techniques that are open knowledge are offensive in nature, but sometimes used for defense in unorthodox methods; this doesn't make me a "balanced" ninja, I consider a Swaying Ninja. A Balanced Shinobi perfectly Balances Offense and Defense, but a Swaying Shinobi, as I define it, puts all into Offense, then switches that entirely to Defense and then back to Offense when necessary. Then there's of course this technique that, as far as I know, only you and one other know about; but this hardly ever sees practical use in combat."

"That said, what would you care for? Offense? Defense? Balance? Swaying? And if so, how?"

"I understand that as a Shinobi I must kill, I will not hold anyone against the choice I have made, and I have no regrets." Ikawa's eyes' were focused on his master.

The young teen placed his hands in his pockets as he thought of what role he would choose; an idea popped into the boy's head.

"I believe I would care for swaying. Each situation has its own advantages and disadvantages when a person may have to need strength to offensively attack, they also need to be able to switch onto the defensive if they must. A Shinobi may be split or may find themselves without a team at times in which they may have issues against the enemy they may encounter. I am going to be alone in these exams, I will need to be able to switch from purely offensive to defensive if I must. A good offense can make a good defense as well." Ikawa sounded confident in his answer.

Saisuki nodded, sitting down upon the grass. He held his hands out and squeezed them a few times as though he were holding onto Men's Hopes and Dreams, "Hand Dominance? Left? Right?"

Saisuki put his hands down and rested them on his thighs, "And while you're at it, let me see all of your equipment."

Ikawa nodded and threw a small bag that had his equipment such as razor wire, kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags. "My hand dominance is left." The shinobi said as he was down upon the grass as well.

Saisuki nodded as he went over Ikawa's things. He had pretty standard equipment and it wasn't exa---

Razor Wire. That's not something Genin usually carry. And Saisuki's mind began to go miles per hour.

"How good is your Chakra control?" Saisuki asked him, knowing that Agnia charges all Genin to at the least learn water walking. Hopefully he knew how, because that would cut back the time significantly for this.

Saisuki picked up the Razor Wire and ran his fingers on it, cutting himself. The cut healed almost instantly as the blood rushed back into the wound. Well, at least it was sharp. He only had a spool of about 10 or so meters though. That wasn't enough for what would be needed. Then there was the issue of holding onto it, though Saisuki already had that one covered.

"It's about average, at least good enough to climb trees and walk on water." The young teen observed his master fumble through his things and pick up the razor wire, playing with it, and ending up cutting himself. The cuts instantly healed, it wasn't that much of a surprise though. Ikawa was curious of what Saisuki was thinking.

"What do you know about Shinobi Puppeteers?" Saisuki asked. Thinking about it for some amount of time. Other than that, he didn't say much else.

"They use Chakra control to move around their puppets, most of them have excellent Chakra control however. Or, at least they appear to." Ikawa scratched his head, he wasn't sure how his master would respond to that; it was obvious that Saisuki was thinking of ways Ikawa could be taught, or what he would teach.

"I think I've got it." he said. He momentarily closes his eyes to focus, pulling at the chains holding this world together (not something Ikawa would see, though) to suddenly conjure up a spool of thread. A thick spool. Lots of thread.

Saisuki opened his eyes, and held the blue thread in his hands idly, before pulling at it and unwinding it from the spool. He took about 100 meters or so very quickly out before he cut the thread from the spool. He did this four more times.

"Let me see your left hand, then, Ikawa." Saisuki said, holding the ends of the five strands in his hand.
