"So is this what you spend all day doing in class? Trying to hit somebody and missing? Man, you'll never get good like that! It works better when people hit back."
It was like flipping a switch. Suoh's stance became focused and he moved into the offensive, striking quickly at any openings Ryo left. Unlike Oki when she sparred, Suoh didn't pull his punches and he aimed at pressure points.

Ryo took the change in Suoh's stance and motions in stride. He had only begun learning how to properly block attacks and these motions were sloppier then when he was on the attack, but he still managed to block one or two of Suoh's many blows.
Suoh's punches -hurt-! He wouldn't flinch away from them tho nor back off and give up any of his space to Suoh.

"Gotta work on your defensive work Kid," Suoh purred. "The beauty with moves like that is that I don't have to hit you hard to take you down. Go for weak points on your opponent, let their body work against them in your favor. It makes your life easier."

Ryo grit his teeth against the growing pain of Suoh's blows. His defence was becoming even sloppier as the other kept landing those blows. "What's the fun in 'easy' huh?" He grinned, trying to lash out again with a sharp kick to Suoh's side.

Suoh ceased his punching and instead deflected Ryo's kick with his arm. "Fun? Kid, fighting isn't about fun. Throwing rocks is fun. Picking up girls in a bar is fun. Fghting is about being efficient."

"So, why would do something that's not fun~?" Aha, attacking Suoh made him stop hitting Ryo. He continued trying to attack and even push the man back a little bit.

Unlike Ryo, Suoh didn't mind giving up ground. Especially if it could give him an advantage.
"Because it needs doing," he replied simply. "Being a ninja isn't fun; you'll have to do a lot of things you're not going to like, that you're not going to enjoy. You may have to kill people, hurt innocent people, all for the sake of your mission."

If Ryo hadn't been otherwise preoccupied with his match with Suoh, he would have shrugged. "Just because something needs doing, doesn't make it not fun. Even having missions was better then what I was doing before."

"To each their own, then, kid. I can think of a hell of a lot of things I'd sooner be doing than missions."

"Well, duh!" He snickered. "Just because you'd rather do something else, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the other stuff~"

Suoh smirked. "Just wait until someone's pulling your string, kid. Some of it's great fun, and some of it sucks ass and you just need to get through it. You'll see for yourself some day."

"That makes no sence..." Ryo had no idea what Suoh was talking about. He frowned a touch, thinking about it and unadvertantly leaving himself open.

Suoh struck, hard. "Once you become a genin, you belong to your village, kid. You'll belong here, and to the Hokage. Whatever the Hokage says, you've got to do. You'll get a team, and a team leader. Your team leader is a step down from the Hokage. They'll tell you what to do, when to do, how to do it... You won't be able to piss on some missions without getting clearance first."

The hit sent Ryo wheeling back, knocking the wind out of him. Good god he hurt, but he managed to stand up again despite all of the blows he'd taken from Suoh thusfar. He took a moment to catch his breath and steady himself before attempting another half-step back towards Suoh. "I don't 'belong' to anyone."

"You do now, kid. The day you agreed to sign on at the academy, you agreed to play by their rules and now you're stuck. You can't even leave the village now until you get your forehead protector." Suoh stretched, pulling a leg up behind him to touch the toe to the back of his head. "You sign your life away when you sign up to be a ninja. Most people don't have a problem with it; they know what they're getting into, and they think it's the right thing. But then there's guys like me, who don't."
