The Red Lion (open)

Minato sat on the Sokyoku Hill. The place where he became what he was. It was his death place. It was his resting place. It was his rebirth place. The place where he became what he is today. Academy student of the Gotei 13. The Elite student of the academy. He was recommended to be an unseated shinigami. He had proven his resolve. He had proven his strength. He had done what was needed of him. This is where it had gotten him. He was not to be toyed with. That much was clear from his fight with the Captain of 7th division. He went over the fight in his mind. He noted his mistakes. He noted his mistakes. He noted his strengths. He noted his strengths. He went through the fight at a frame by frame speed. He noticed all the openings he missed. He noticed all the chances for death she didn’t take. He laid down on the grass of the hill. He looked up at the dark sky above him.

He wasn’t here for reflection though. He wasn’t here to gloat to himself. He was here for training. He was here to learn. He didn’t wear his Academy uniform It was too official. This was a casual meeting slash tutoring session between friends. He wore one of his own clothes. He actually made them. His family wasn’t going to let him grow up without knowing a thing or two about sewing. He was too young to actually make things, however, when he died. But he knew how to repair rips, cause patterns by pulling at the runs, and sew on things. After he died a woman showed him how to craft clothing himself. When he had free time he would make or modify his clothing.He then sees captain Kaiyo from the top of the hill with amazement he then nodded a while later the captain commander arrive there and scolded him with some kind of lecture which he hate and doesn't even understand the meaning of it

Minato laid there looking up at the sky. He smiled at the darkness of the space above him. It was relaxing. He felt a pulse. Someone was coming. He did a backwards somersault. When his feet touched the ground he pushed off with his hands and feet, and turned into a flip. He saw the newcomer. It was just Derrick. He landed skillfully and looked at his old mentor. Derrick grinned. ”I see someone is jumpy. I told you I was coming.” Shura reply back at his old mentor " Oh really ? you never told me so " His mentor nodded it was because he got lost on his way making up excuse.

Derrick walked around the Sokyoku Hill for a bit. ”What are you looking for?” He asked eventually. Derrick waved him away. He mumbled something. He continued looking. What was he searching for? Minato sighed and sat back down. As soon as he did Derrick shouted. “Ha! Found you! Mina, come over here!” Minato rolled his eyes and used shunpo with a speed equivalent to a captain level shunpo. He appeared next to Derrick. They stood in front of a small entrance. ”This is a secret training area. Only a handful of people know about it. A lot of people go their whole lives never knowing about this area. I came upon it by accident about two hundred years ago.” He walked inside. Minato followed.Before he follow his Sensei he waved at Kaiyo taichou and smiled toward her.

note : he went to the training area where Ichigo achieve his bankai 300 years ago

Kuroi was about to start up the stairs to the top of Sokyoku Hill and noticed a sudden displacement of reatsu in this apparently deserted place when he turned to find the displacement he saw a plus walk into the rock of the hill...when he went over to find him he found a solid rock wall...Kuroi overpowered by his curiosity was certain he saw that plus and also certain that he went through there.

Kuroi took a few steps back and said 'Let the swallow chirp at its finest and emit its power' Hado 3 crimson strike" and the rock exploded revealing a slight hole in the rock. he used Hado 2 Reel to pull the some of the rocks out and there was an opening barely big enough for him to fit through and no other shinigami Kuroi knew was smaller than him. he crawled through hoping he wasnt noticed by blasting a hole in a entrance.

A small shadow no bigger than an childs swept against the rock and trees on sogyo hill a faint giggle inidcating the shadow was no at all very intelegent on hiding reatsu or sneek attacks. Miki pushed her long hair behing her ears, scanning the scene befor her, her titled her head to the side had that boy just crawled into that hole she wondered, her curiouse manner took charge and she was crouched down at the opening with in a nano-second "Yo! what cha doin in der!" she called in her usual cheeky voice her bright blue eyes sparkeling in the light.
