Sunagakure Training Field [Wind Country]

[Son Garaha]

Location
In front of the Sungakure gates.
Height
50 feet
Width
50 feet
Capacity
4 Ninja's but can hold more, though it will become more crowded with each person.
Purpose
Used for ninja's to train in, to practice their ninja skills. The arena is constantly tended too with freshly packed dirt and tree stumps. Ninja Jonin's take their Genin students here to practice everything from basic ninja skills to the secret arts.
Appearance
It is a giant octagonal shaped ring that stretches 50 feet across in both north to south and east to west. Around the perimeter of the ring is a wooden fence about 2 and halve feet tall. Inside the ring is loosely packed dirt with stumps that were grown in several spots within the ring that ninja's can take cover behind.
This is not a private residence so anyone can train here but it would kind of seem stupid for someone from Konohagakure to come all the way here just to train... Just sayin'

[Son Garaha]

Kaa Kin woke up around 3 in the morning. He had been sleeping for about 2 days. That fight with the Kazakage must've of wiped him out more than he though... Kaa stretched in bed and then stood up. His dizziness wore off. He had truly recovered.
"Here, I go." said Kaa with excitement.
Kaa ran to his closet and pulled some clothing from the racks. A Black swearshirt and blue shorts. He strapped his Shuriken Holder on his thigh. Then he placed the Kunai holster on the same thight right next to his Shuriken holder. He reached into the closet some'ore but realized that the thing he had been looking for was shattered by Lord Kuro.
"Damn it." Kaa exclaimed.
Kaa ignored his missing item and took to the door his hand was on the knob when three knocks sounded on the door.
Kaa looked at the door curiously. He twisted the knob and pulled When the door opened it was another Sand Ninja.
"C-can I help you?" asked Kaa to the man standing in his door frame.

"Yes, you can." said the man.
Kaa looked at the man. He was wearing a black robe with a high collar the covered the man's lower face. He had brown hair that stood upright. On his back was a Giant Kunai Knife, or in this case, Kunai Sword.
"What can I do for you?" asked Kaa.
"Would you like to train, young one?"
"I'm not young! I 19!" Kaa yelled "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Rylu Ikeeno." answerd the man.
"Really, never heard of you, are you a fresh Genin?"
The man or Rylu, rather, chuckled hardily.
"No my friend, I'm an Anbu."
Kaa eye's widend. "No way your a S-Class Ninja!"
"Oh but I am." said Rylu further.
"Prove it!" Kaa said with a tough voice.
Rylu again chuckled. "Okay, if you insist."
"Alright, meet me at the Sand Training Grounds."
"If you insist."
"STOP THAT!"
"If you- Oh, sorry."

Moments later Kaa and Rylu were standing outside of Kaa's house.
"It looks like you already prepared, young one." said Rylu, looking at Kaa through the corner of his eye.
"Damn it! I AM NOT YOUNG!"
"Right, right. Sorry."
Rylu began his walk to the Training Grounds with Kaa following closely behind him.

Soon enough they were at the octangonal training field.

Rylu jumped into the ring and ran to the other end of the field with blinding speed.
"Uh..." Kaa awed.
Kaa jumped from behind the ring's fence, into a front flip and landed on the other side of the ring.

"Are you ready, young one?"asked Rylu
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" screamed Kaa form across the ring.
"Sorry-Sorry. Shall we?"
Kaa grinned.

ROUND 1
8)

Kaa and Rylu stood still for about a second. Kaa made a sign and dissapeared in a plume of smoke.

Rylu stood standing still and didn't move waiting for Kaa's next move.

A hand bursted from the ground below Rylu. The hand grasped Rylu ankle.

Rylu smiled he saw Kaa's face and that was all he needed. "Flash of Death Jutsu!" Suddenly Kaa would be whirled into a world of pain and death. Genjutsu of course.

Suddenly Kaa was standing against a tree when a spear flew from the trees that were surrounding him and pierced him in the neck, blood splurted in the air and Kaa couldn't breathe. He awoke on his knees in front of Rylu.
"A-a-a-a d-d-ream?" Kaa stuttered.

"I believe that's round one, young Kaa."

RYLU WIN'S!

ROUND 2

Kaa tried to stand up but his knee's gave out each time. Nothing could make him stand for anything.

Rylu walked towards Kaa and lifted a leg with much force towards Kaa's stomach.

Kaa was stunned. Rylu's zori hit Kaa in the stomach and he flew four feet and skidded on his back.

Rylu lowered his leg from the air and put it back on the ground.
"Kaa... Kaa? KAA! Do you believe me now?" asked Rylu.

"N-no... A-a-any Ninja c-c-could kn-know Genjutsu..." Kaa tried to get rid of the image of his death from his mind.

Rylu sighed. "Prepare, for one of my best Jutsu's." Rylu lifted his arms forward with his palms facing outwards.

"B-bring it!" Kaa was starting to get control again.

With great speed Rylu came at Kaa.
"15 Fist of Destruction Jutsu!" he began throwing fists at amazing speeds.

Kaa managed to dodge a couple but then was hit hard with Rylu deadly palms. Kaa flew a few more feet through the wooden fence and landed closer to Sungakure gates.

RYLU WIN'S!

Rylu ran to help Kaa.
"Sorry, young one, I didn't mean to hurt you that bad."
"I-it's alright..." their was a trickle of blood running down Kaa chin from his lip.
Rylu picked up Kaa and rushed him back to Sungakure


Finally they had made it. Rylu laid Kaa on his bed with all his ninja tools still equiped and apologized again. Kaa dismissed the apology and quickly dozed off. Rylu checked Kaa's pulse just to make sure he wasen't dead.
Rylu sighed, rather quickly Kaa's room was empty.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora walked into the training grounds they had it to themselves Tora appeared in the center of the grounds both hands on scrolls though he had a kunei on his finger waiting for the others to get ready, though he was in a badass pose

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi appeared, in a cool-person pose, hands in his pockets, his orange jacket and red-hair blowing in the wind, his red eyes located right onto tora.
He didnt grab anything, he sensed that tora was strong.
However he immedietly knew that because of his high intelligence, he might be able to outsmart him.
He took out a kunai, and twirled it around on his finger.
In the distance hiding behind some trees was trav, with his back to a tree. He was after all hoshis bodyguard for the time-being, he couldnt let him leave his sight.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora was giving no breaks as he spun in a fancy way pulling out the scrolls and threw the kunei at Hoshi as the two scrolls unravled and out came in a cloud of smoke the Tora puppet and the Niko puppet, Niko holding the red handeled blade and the blue handeled blade the Tora puppet was holding nothing on the other hand

[Son Garaha]

As Kaa was walking home upset he passed the Sungakure training field and saw two about to engage in combat. Kaa saw one. He rushed over to the fence outside the perimeter of the arena.

"HEY! HEY!" Kaa said waving his left arm widly "Are on of you a Genin?" he asked.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora smiled and shouted we both are why do you care, and your interuppting our training so please let it be important

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi didnt have time to talk, when the kunai came he skillfully used only one to knock away both, he picked them up and threw them into the air, while still in the air very quickly electricity enveloped the kunai he was already holding and he shot it towards tora, if it touched or got very near it would paralyze. Then he took out two exploding tags, the two kunai he had thrown up came back down and also very quickly he wrapped the tags around the kunai and lit them, then threw each one at one of the puppets.
Wow a puppet user, im going to have some trouble with this...but strength isnt always what wins..
Sometimes smarts does to.

[Son Garaha]

Kaa became angry at the blatant disrespect Tora showed to Kaa.

"Listen, my new leader is trying to form a squad, would one of you like to make a third member since I'm not allowed to join a squad?" he asked.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora smiled and then he was spinning and the kunei flew past him though he wasnt worried about the explosion as Niko flew forward chattering, all the puppets were no longer carrying posion weapons but they were still sharp and would hurt, as Niko came close the Tora puppet came from behind and vaulted over Niko shooting three kunei from its mouth down at Hoshi, he was to busy to talk but he still responded Im sure we both woud so youll have to have your teacher come and check which of us he wants

[Son Garaha]

"I'm already here!" A man a black cloak with a high color that covered his lower face stood on top wall of Sungakure.

"Master Rylu!" Said Kaa.

Rylu jumped from the top of the wall onto the ground and then proceeded to the wall to see the match.

"If one of you wants to join my squad, we're going to need a third member seeing how Kaa here can't." Show me your skills, I'll decide. Consider a miniature Chunin Exam." Rylu said with a smile.

[VedastoHat]

Tora smiled and then he was spinning and the kunei flew past him though he wasnt worried about the explosion as Niko flew forward chattering, all the puppets were no longer carrying posion weapons but they were still sharp and would hurt, as Niko came close the Tora puppet came from behind and vaulted over Niko shooting three kunei from its mouth down at Hoshi, he was to busy to talk but he still responded Im sure we both woud so youll have to have your teacher come and check which of us he wants

The kunais exploded right after they passed tora.
Hoshi jumped high into the air above the Tora puppet, while still in the air he made made handsigns.
Raiton: Ikadzuchi no Kiba!(Lightning bolt fang) He shot his arm up into the air and sent a bolt of lightning into the sky, disrupting the clouds.
He landed on the tora puppet and jumped off of it, landing at his original spot.
Suddenly the sky flashed and the same lightning bolt came down, this time faster and stronger it came straight down towards the Tora puppet.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora(real) was caught in the explosion but suddenly he wasnt there but the crow puppet was there he always had crow with him, but Tora was now hidden. Tora(puppet) wasn't hit by the lightning because Niko acted stabbing the blue handeled sword into the ground and the puppets were spun past the lightning barely dodging, as Tora(puppet) shot a kunei, a chakra string connected the two, straight into the lightnin and the lightning was drawn into the metal of the sword and redirected into the ground. Tora smiled widely Too easy you have to do better to beat me. Niko picked up the white handeled balde and swung it a gust of cutting wind headed for Hoshi, the whole time Tora's(real) hands were moving in a blur of motion

[VedastoHat]

He smiled.
He jumped to one side and was cut on the arm by the wind.
He made hangsigns.
As he made handsigns the ground started to shake, and then, Water came out of the ground.
Suiton: Daibakufu No Jutsu! (tidal wave) The jets of water gathered together and formed into a wave, it wasnt extremly huge, because since he was only a gennin it was a small sized wave, but it was fast and erupted throughout the training field in front of him, and at the speed it was going, it was very strong as well.

[Nyanki]

"Go Tora! You know how do deal with a lil' lightnin' after being around me!" shouted Muu to the field. He chomped into the ice cream sandwich in his hand. It was Neapolitan this time.

[Son Garaha]

Rylu jumped when the person beside him appeared.

"You know Tora?" asked Rylu to the person next to him.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora smiled he was up in a tree so he was safe from the water, though Niko, Crow, and Tora(puppet), werent Tora puled his fingers in a bunch of complicated movements and Niko snatched the blue handeled blade out of the ground, and jumped into the air, Tora(puppet) crouched on its knees and placed it's hands out and two half shileds formed each very large, the shields locked into place the shiled took the place of Tora(puppets) hands.

The Crow puppet was hanging onto Niko's foot, one hand had became a circular buzzsaw shooting down at Hoshi, a chakra string was attached to the saw along with a regualr metal wire, but why the chakra string

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi quicly made hangsigns and a chidori formed in his hands, however it shifted to one hand, this was hard to do.
He jumped through the air and spun in an awesome pose, when he jumped he jumped right above crow and pulled out an explosive tag kunai, ramming it into the saw thus causing it to stop the saw and get stuck in it, the tag was lit.
From there he jumped off the crow puppet straight at the Niko puppet, he put his other hand into the chidori now and thrusted it straight at the niko puppet, it would be extremly hard to dodge.
CHIDORI!!

[Kuro Nagashi]

The crow puppet released Niko and fell to the ground as its arm exploded though it detached quickly to save the rest of the puppet, so now Crow only had one arm, but the chakra string was detached before Crow fell down and was now on Hoshi's foot, Tora(real) smiled as he flicked his finger and the chakra string pulled down Hoshi better act fast or he would be drug to ground

Tora(real) thought to himself Wow this guys is crazy, doesnt he think things through, i mean hes pulling out Raiton jutsu like he has no concern for his chakra

Niko pulled up both of the blades crossing them in an X-fashion hoping to fend off the chidori, though the blue handeled blade was in front wind chakra swirled aorund it, Tora(real) panted slightly he didnt have high chakra about medium and channeling chakra through these fins strings was really hard

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi hit the ground, huffing.
Stupid puppets...its time for a new course of action...ive only got one shot at this. And suddenly all his remaining chakra seemed to focus in one spot.
He stood up, realizing the chakra string was still attached.
He put his hands together.
Raiton: Raikozan (great lightning cut)
He moved his hands away, and then slowly black lightning appeared in his hands, this is where all the chakra had been focused, all his remaining chakra was in this one attack.
He started breathing much harder, if this wouldnt work then he was as good as done.
(occ: that should hint you to something.)
Then slowly as his hands seperated farther, the black lightning formed into a blade.
He looked up at tora on the tree.
Then in an instant as fast as he could go, he was in front of tora, and brought the sword down, very fast, it was possible to dodge, but not without getting hurt, if it wasnt dodged it would severly hurt but not kill.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora frowned he wasnt the fastest ninja but he had a precaution set in place tapping the top of a scroll it fell quickly to the ground and then Tora was out of the way, but you could see a long gash across his arm, and he was holding it, the scrolls he had used earlier were on the ground wrapped up and the puupets were gone, Crow was standing behind Tora very limp, but there were three scrolls on the ground what puppet had Tora used to save himself no one would ever know execpt himself Tora smiled through a gasp I think i win, cause after that you would be done and i could counter with my puppets

[VedastoHat]

Yeah...i could have used my kekkai genkai..but i dont think that would have been fair, good fight. I lose. He said, walking over to shake his hand.
But then suddenly his eyes changed, they turned dark black and red, and his head throbbed.
He grabbed his head.
Gah!!! It hurts!! His eyes turned back to normal and he fell to the ground, unconsious and sleeping.
But the strange thing was, all of his chakra was back, even a little more.
Good fight, im sure he'll be fine. Said a voice as the leaf jouninn trav walked out.

[Son Garaha]

Rylu thought to himself.

These kid's are definitely something... Chidori for a Genin Level Ninja, never seen it...

"Better make this count kid!" he yelled.

[Son Garaha]

"My decision..." Said Rylu simply. "I wont base this off who won or lost... but you should know, this is a hard decision for me..." Rylu said.

[VedastoHat]

Hoshis eyes opened, and he got up.
Ow...i dont know what happened there, sorry.
Trav had a blank expression, staring at Hoshi from behind him.
He was thinking: Amazing..even after that intense battle all of his chakra is back...hes a strange one.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora flipped out of the tree as most of the water was starting to sink back into the ground as he clutched his arm that had hurt pretty bad if he wouldnt have had that puppet with him he surely would have been hit by the full forcce of the technique

[VedastoHat]

He looked over at rylu and the other.
Sorry for ignoring you guys, i was to focused in the fight, what can i do for you? He asked.

[Son Garaha]

"Well... Sorry Tora, but I would like this young one to join my squad? Do you accept, young one?" he asked.

[VedastoHat]

Trav smiled, and patted hoshi's shoulder.
Hoshi looked up at trav and smiled back to him, then turned back.
Why yes id love to, but after the basic stuff is completed and i get to know my fellow squad members, i would like to request of the kazekage of something involving the squad, i will explain later. He looked back at tora and shook his hand, then walked over to the man.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora acted disappointed and shook Hoshi's hand as he looked over a t Muu as he pulled out a roll of adhesive tape and wrapped it around his arm Muu, you wanna hang here for a little while

[Son Garaha]

Rylu looked excited. "So you accept." Keep training here and I'll go tell the Kazekage that I have found a third member.

Kaa, who looked very unenthusiastic began to speak: "Good luck bud..."

Rylu disappeared in speed lines.

= = =

He appeared in front of the giant ball with the sign of wind carved near the top. He disappeared again and was at the door of the Kazekage's office.

He knocked.

"Lord Kazekage, I've located a third member for Team Rylu!
(Answer, Kuro, in Sungakure

[Nyanki]

Muu was polishing off another ice cream sandwich. A pure vanilla one. "I'd rather go inside somewhere, but I can take this heat if you want." He smiled, walking up to Tora and holding the bag he had out. "I saved two for you. I know you like the chocolate ones, so that's what they are."

[Kuro Nagashi]

Muu was polishing off another ice cream sandwich. A pure vanilla one. "I'd rather go inside somewhere, but I can take this heat if you want." He smiled, walking up to Tora and holding the bag he had out. "I saved two for you. I know you like the chocolate ones, so that's what they are."

Tora smiled and walked over to Muu reaching in and grabbed one of the chocalate ice cream sandwhiches and began to eat one as he thought Well, we shoudl go see a medic that way this gash on my arm doesnt become infected, so it will be cool there how does that sound

[Nyanki]

"Alrighty, let's go then." He turned and began heading back to Suna, with Tora leading the way.

(ooc: Respond in Suna, please)

[Son Garaha]

Rylu approched the Kazekage and saw that Hoshi, the new member of his squad was now there. With Rylu were two younger ninjas.

"Lord Kazakage...!" he said with salute. He then held out his hand towards the two ninja next to him. "These are the rest of the squad, and as you can see that's the third." said Rylu pointing at Hoshi. "Under the command of you Lord Kuro and I accept the responcibility of all three of these Genin's and with your permission I hope you accept." Rylu finished with a bow.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage turned he was wearing his jonnnin battle suit and smiled at the group of ninja You guys will battle me as a squad, if i deem your squad neccesary you may go on the mission, and also be allowed to form this squad

[Son Garaha]

Both Ninja standing behind Rylu nodded there heads vigorasly.

"Yes Lord Kazekage." said Reggie and Azura in unison.

(Whisper, whisper) C'mon Azura we gotta do this if we want to have Jonin teacher and become better then Genin's alright? - Said Reggie to Azura

"Right!" Said Azura

"Good luck guys." said Rylu too his Genin friends.

Rylu disapeared in speed lines and reapeared on the other side of the training field fense.

OOC: I'm going to wait for Terr. Aight.

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi followed soon after, and suddenly trav appeared next to rylu on the other side of the fence.
This ought to be interesting. He said to rylu.
Well lord Kazekage, were ready when you are. Hoshi stated while fiddleing with a kunai in his pocket.

[Son Garaha]

Reggie pulled from her holster three shuriken and readied them in front of her face... Azura stood with his arms to his side looking at the ground.

"Good luck guys, impress me!" Rylu shouted from the side lines.

OOC: Terr, during the battle we'll PM back and forth plans to take down Kuro, aight?

[VedastoHat]

(occ: your saying that like were gonna win. lol alright.)

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage smiled and pulled out a kunei and took a short step backwards as he waited for the three gennin to make a move Go ahead and be careful, im not going to go easy on the three of you, show me your teamwork

[Son Garaha]

Can't waster my chakra right, dad, your going to have to wait! Thought Reggie to herself.

"LET'S GO REGGIE!" Azura jumped into a tree outside the ring and waited...

Reggie tossed her Shurikens at Kuro not expecting to hit him!

[Kuro Nagashi]

Kuro smiled so like a gennin to just rush into a battle, Kuro twirled the kunei in a cool fashion as he took it and threw it at blurring speeds towards Reggie, though it was dodgeable due to the fact that Kuro had drawn another kunei and thrown it even faster at the first one as it hit the first one it was knocked up towards where Azura was at while the other continued towards Reggie

[Son Garaha]

OOC: Last post until Terr, returns.

Reggie did suamersalts backwards and skidding in the sand and a few feet. "Is that all you got old man Kazakage!" said Reggie sneeringly. Directly afterwards a loud thok was heard in the direction of the second kunais trejectory.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage smiled and then he was a blur along the sand as he was standing in front of Hoshi who was close to Reggie as he aimed a punch for Hoshi's gut and then flipped and aimed a kick for Reggie's face at the exact same time

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi caught the punch, but indeed felt the force.
He grabbed his arm and kept it there, holding him with all his strength.
Raiton: Houden No Jutsu!
And suddenly a strong burst of lightning crackled through his arms and shot straight at kuro.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Kuro laughed and focused wind chakra around his hand Futon: Wind Fist Kuro slammed his free fist straight into the lightning obliterated it and then the blast of wind continued on towards Hoshi, this was indeed demonstrating the pure strength of a Kage level ninja

[VedastoHat]

(last post before tims)
Damnit! He yelled and let go of the fist, he jumped back and got skimmed by the wind fist, being pushed back even more.
He made more handsigns.
Raiton: Ikadzuchi No Kiba! He yelled and focused his lightning, sending it into the air above.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: you two need to be on at the same time

Kuro flipped back, he was now standing on a small lump of dirt waiting for the next round of attacks to come at him, these ninja were good but Hoshi needed to watchi his chakra consumption he probably had one more Raiton jutsu before he was almost out of chakra

[VedastoHat]

(occ: i know, i said in my last post that that was my last post before he got on.)

[Son Garaha]

Reggie lifted her arms and crossed them blocked the kick with her forearms then when the leg released to allow the Kazekage to use his wind jutsu a voice could be heard screaming: Earth Shattering Axe Kick!!! R

Suddenly Azura shot from the trees with his legs extended high! "Get ready old man!!!" Now Azura was coming down with his heel fast, the heel was strong enough to shatter the area it landed on.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage smiled and began weaving handseals but not fast enough the kick hit him head one cruching his skull, and he was lying there dead, this form had about another minute before the gennin relized it was a trap, suddenl sizzling could be heard adn the corpse/substitution exploded, though the real kazekage was no where to be found

[VedastoHat]

As we speak my jutsu is getting stronger...but we need to find him! Hoshi said, looking around with a kunai in his hand.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Suddenky the Kazekage came out of the ground under Hoshi and Azura aiming to pull them both into the ground Doton: head hunter, this would be hard to block it was a completly unpredictable technique

[VedastoHat]

Substitution! He yelled and made a handsign, turning into a log.
He reappeared on a rock.
As the jutsu he had done earlier was still getting stronger he made more hand signs.
Water style, water dragon jutsu! He yelled, but before this dragon could be created it needed water, water started to shoot up out of the ground, it flooded the undergound and the force of the water would have to push the kazekage out.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Both the Kazekage's poffed and then the Kazekage appeared behind Hoshi holding his paper thin blade against Hoshi's neck, if anyone tried to get close they would feel a thick force trying to keep thim back as he said in a clear voice Now one of your team is a hostage what do you do?

[VedastoHat]

Dont do anything, i figured out a small weakness in this battle! He yelled and suddenly the water dragon stuck towards the kazekage, at the same time the lightning came back down about 4 times stronger and faster straight at the kazekage.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: garah edit your post to fit what happened in ym last post please and thank you

The Kazekage frowend he only had one way to dodge, he released his katana and then he used that hand lfting Hoshi up putting him in the way of the lightning, he hated to do that but it would work as he wove single handseals and a weak wall of mud formed up and blocked the dragon, the Kazekage let out a small pant he was using his chakra up fast though he was sure Hoshi was out of chakra to use big ninjutsu with

[Son Garaha]

(deleted the post alltogether)
Reggie saw in opening in the Kazekage. She reached in her holster and threw several shurikens at Kuro, at the same time Azura slammed his fist into the ground and a spike of earth shot out at the Kazekage, capable of impaling him.

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi put his hand up and the lightning hit it, then seemed to shift around the hand, the hand was severely burned but the lightning shifted and was now heading straight to kuro again.
Hehheh.. He laughed.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Kuro frowned at all the attacks he was screwed so this wouldn't end the fight he just didnt want to have to this, Kuro formed a single handsighn this would take 1/4 of his chakra, a giant dome of shredding wind shot out from Kuro slicing all the attacks to nothing, Kuro appered behind Azura and slammed his fist at the side of her head

[Son Garaha]

Azura put up his arm to block the attack and it worked but it sent him flying he landed in the sand he then did a back flip and got back to his feet. Reggie put her hands on the ground and lifted one leg in attempts to kick Kuro in the chin, but under her hand that was on the ground was a Kunai!

[VedastoHat]

He made more handsigns, 3/4 of his chakra was used up, after one or 2 more attack he would have to resort to his kekkai genkai.
Raiton: Seiteki Shigamitsuku! (static cling) Suddenly a weak wave of electricity came across the ground, and now Kuros feet were stuck to the ground.
(occ: do you mind that sort of auto hit? even if it dosent hurt?)

[Kuro Nagashi]

Kuro read the attack easily as he caught the leg and bent it down in the way of the hand if Reggie tried to stab now, she would stab erself in the leg, as Kuro threw a bomb kunei straight at Azura, Kuro was actually being a bit challenged here

[Son Garaha]

Azura, who's chakra was 4/4, moved his head as the Kunai Paper Bomb wizzed by his head. Now that Reggie's foot was being held by Kuro she used her free hand to make for a back hand swing at Kuro!

[VedastoHat]

With the last of my chakra...this attack one more time... He made more handsigns, now that kuros feet were stuck to the ground there was an advantage.
He stopped making handsigns and began to seperate his hands, black lightning appeared time and again between his hands, then stayed there and grew stronger as he seperated his hands more.
Raiton: Raikosan! The same black sword of electricity appeared in between his hands, this one wasnt as strong but it would still do good damage.
He dashed straight at the kazekage and slashed the sword at his stomache with all his speed and strength.

[Son Garaha]

OOC: For some reason Kuro's computers acting funky, give him a sec and don't post anymore... I won't either.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage had one trick left up his sleeve realising Reggie and wove short handsighns and then he anf Azura had been switched, what the hell where did the Kazekage learn this technique, well the problem was it was a one use thing, if the gennin got passed this the would be worthy of his acceptance and be allowed to go on the mission

[VedastoHat]

(occ: what do you mean switched? what happened?)

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: the Kazekage used a high speed movement to move Azura to where he was and he is now standing where Azura was, but im only using it this once and but basically i convert all my chakra to speed and then dodge adn switch with a human oppenet basically a high level substituation

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi stopped the sword and shifted his movement and jumped towards where the kazekage was now, with all his speed and strength he slashed at the kazekage.

[Son Garaha]

Azura quickly pushed Reggie away then did the only thing he could do! "Raigan: Release!" Suddenly Azura was consumed by a flash and when the flash subsided Azura was on the ground laying on his back with his legs and arms spread out like an "x" surronded by lightning bolts and there was a tear mark in Azura's shirt where the Black Lightning Blade had struck him but their was no cut.

"Azura!" shouted Reggie as she was getting off the ground.

[VedastoHat]

(occ: i stopped the sword.)

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage turned to the side and brought his knee against Hoshi barely stopping so he wouldnt hurt Hoshi and he threw him over to his squad Great job you guys, you are now accepted by me and may join a squad with Rylu

[VedastoHat]

WOO! Hoshi yelled as he fell to the ground.
He stood up and smiled.
So does that mean we will be able to go to the clan home? He asked the kazekage.

[Son Garaha]

OOC: The swords chakra interfeared with the Raigan's chakra causing the small explosion just say that, aight...

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage nodded his head in a yes motion

[VedastoHat]

Wait...does trav need permission?
Trav waved his hand from behind the fence.
Good battle! But i dont think so, after all i am a Konoha ninja, and your bodyguard for the time-being, so i will come!
Hoshi nodded and continued to smile.

[Son Garaha]

Reggie looked terrified. "Lord Kazekage! What about Azura."

The electricty melted off Azura but he was still very much uncauntious.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage laughed Rylu, take care of your squad

[Son Garaha]

Rylu nodded hoped over the fence. And ran over to Azura.

"Heh... Did I do good...?" asked Rylu in a husky voice.

"Yeah, kid you did great, your in a squad now..." Rylu stopped to look over at Reggie. "You did awesome too."

Reggie smiled widley.

"Lord Kazekage! I need to speak with your privatley please." He then turned to Hoshi and Reggie. "Team, as your first mission I need you to take Azura to the medical corpse, understood?"

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi nodded and moved over to azura.
It was my fault..i am sorry.
And he lifted Azura over his shoulder.
Well then, lets go.
(occ: respond in the sand village thread then?)

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage Fine lets take a walk and with that the Kazekage began to walk he was soon out fo the training field as he quickly ate a pill that would sloely restore his chakra now that he was done fighting for awhile

[Son Garaha]

OOC: Indeed.

Reggie rushed to Azura's other arm and heaved. Hoshi and Reggie began carrying him to Sungakure.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc, dude, do me a favor copy that post edit the one above it and paste your last post into it so its not a double post and then delete the double post

[Son Garaha]

"Lord Kazekage, we should make the proper ajustments, what should we call the squad first and foremost?" Rylu asked Kuro using hand motions.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: good job

ic:

The Kazekage smiled Thats up to you i relly dont care, most usually go with teh sensei's name so i guess yours would be team Rylu, but you can pick whatever you want doesnt bother me

[Son Garaha]

"Thank you Lord Kazekage." Rylu bowed infront of Kuro. "Oh and I'm sorry about the hard time with the kids, I didn't think they'd give you such a hard time. But I better go to the Medical Corpse now. Thank you again Lord Kazekage." Rylu disapeared in speed lines.

[Son Garaha]

Rylu flinched at the light, he must of been asleep for some time. Rylu bounced from house to house trying to remember the Training Grounds were. He hoped that Kokwa would reach Hoshi quickly. Rylu was itching for a battle! Then there it was, the training ground a large octagonal ring stood in an open area. Rylu made one more final jump and landed square in the center of the arena. Rylu crossed his arms within his coat and nodded off to sleep. Quietly muttering to himself.

[VedastoHat]

There was a glint in the sky, and Hoshi came flying out of the air, landing abruptly on a branch of a tree, and squatting down, his seemingly happy expression he used to have had changed, his face was blank as he looked around, scratching his head again and sitting against the tree.

[Son Garaha]

There was a glint in the sky, and Hoshi came flying out of the air, landing abruptly on a branch of a tree, and squatting down, his seemingly happy expression he used to have had changed, his face was blank as he looked around, scratching his head again and sitting against the tree.

"Don't fall asleep to quickly..." said Rylu who had been standing in the center of the training field since yesterday. "We have a bit of training to do."

[VedastoHat]

"Training...Is Boring."Hoshi replied, his eyes now fixated on Rylu in the center of the training field.

[Son Garaha]

"Training...Is Boring."Hoshi replied, his eyes now fixated on Rylu in the center of the training field.

Rylu face turned to dismay at those words. "Listen... Hoshi, I'll be honest, it's mainly because I want to test my skills" Rylu unbuttoned his coat from the inside showing his muscular arms. "Hoshi; I challenge you."

[VedastoHat]

The air seemed to tense For hoshi, he took a deep breath.
His muscles tensed, he cracked his knuckles, this epic moment in which a fight could start was truly amazing.
"....No." And as quick as the moment had escalated, it vanished into nothing.

[Son Garaha]

OOC: I got go after this post but do inlighten me on the reason you don't wanna fight? Lol =)

"Fine then, I'm sorry I called you, go!" Rylu re buttoned his coat and stared at Hoshi.

OOC: Maybe we can pick up on this later.

[VedastoHat]

In a blink, hoshi had hopped off the Ground, and landed, squatting on his head, his weight was not enough to bring him down, the force of the fall might.
He tilted his head, staring down at Him.
"Your Weird."

(ooc: ask hoshi, he might know. ._.)

[Son Garaha]

Rylu looked confused.

"First off, as your sensei and Jonin intructer I demand respect, secondly, why will you not test your skills on me?" Rylu looked a tad bit sad. And then his eye's grew wide and he looked at Hoshi with a large smirk. "Your afraid... Your afraid you'll be beat horrendously by me." Rylu hand came up from his collar and his index finger was tapping his chin. "How do people say this... Oh... yes... CHICKEN!" Rylu burst out laughing. He laughed so hard he fell on his back. "Ow!"

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi chuckled, hopping off his head as he fell and landing, his feet across his face.
Well Duh, if you didn't notice smarty, im a Genin, your a Jounin, the difference in power level is clear, of course you'd kick my ass. What do you want me to do, be some never-give-up ambitious kid determined to try beat his own Jounin sensei? Give me a break.. He squatted down again, the weight increasing across his face.

[Son Garaha]

Hoshi chuckled, hopping off his head as he fell and landing, his feet across his face.
Well Duh, if you didn't notice smarty, im a Genin, your a Jounin, the difference in power level is clear, of course you'd kick my ass. What do you want me to do, be some never-give-up ambitious kid determined to try beat his own Jounin sensei? Give me a break.. He squatted down again, the weight increasing across his face.

Rylu stopped laughing and felt extremely stupid. "Uh..." said he. Rylu felt ridiculous asking to take on a Genin. He also felt pathetic for trying to prove his strength on a junior level ninja. "Your right, Hoshi, I apologize." Rylu jumped on to his feet from his laying down position. "In all honestly I would just like to spar..." At a blinding speed, Rylu appeared before Hoshi on his knees. His coat popped open, revealing his hands clasped together and raised above his head. Rylu let out a long, and exasperated "Please."

[VedastoHat]

...PfftHAHAHAHAHAHA Hoshi fell over in laughter, then sprung up, scratching his head.
...Eh...Ah..Fine, sure, why not..

[Son Garaha]

Rylu eyes opened in excitement. "REALLY!? ALRIGHT!?" in a sudden burst of speed Rylu bounded back and landed on his feet. "Are you ready Hoshi?" he stopped for a moment to cross his forearms with his palms facing out wards. "You shall feel the full power... of the Ikeeno Clan!" said he with pride. His coat fell of his shoulders and on the ground behind him. Rylu was wearing a black wife-beater (to be completely honest, that's a type of shirt) and long pants with wrapping from his shin down to his black Zories.

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi just tilted his head, scratching it.
"Um...Ok then...?"

[Son Garaha]

Hoshi just tilted his head, scratching it.
"Um...Ok then...?"

Rylu realized he was getting hyped about taking on a Genin and stopped. "This is ridiculous." said Rylu to himself. "I'm sorry Hoshi. Never mind we don't have to fight. I'm just excited about getting back into combat." Rylu stepped out of his stance and grabbed his coat with his Fuma-Clan Shuriken on the back and pulled it over his back.

[VedastoHat]

Hoshi tilted his head the other way, scratching it as he stared curiously at Rylu.
"Er...Thats cool to..?" He turned his head, seeing the exit.
"..I just wanna see those three drunk people mess up everything in their path for that sake bottle." He stated, remembering the entertainment it had brought him before he was asked to come here.

[Son Garaha]

Hoshi tilted his head the other way, scratching it as he stared curiously at Rylu.
"Er...Thats cool to..?" He turned his head, seeing the exit.
"..I just wanna see those three drunk people mess up everything in their path for that sake bottle." He stated, remembering the entertainment it had brought him before he was asked to come here.

"Um... Hoshi?" asked Rylu nervously.

[VedastoHat]

"Yo?" He replied, turning back to look at Rylu.

[Son Garaha]

Rylu looked down and kicked a stone.

"Would you mind if I accompanied you?" he asked sheepishly.

[VedastoHat]

"Sure man, just get me back to that roof fast, i wanna watch them. He nodded, giving the thumbs up.

[Son Garaha]

"Hmph." Nodded Rylu. Again Rylu hands emerged from his coat and he weaved many Katas. He slammed his palm on the ground and a large plume of smoke exploded. "Summoning Art: Kokwa of the Wind!" From the could of smoke a large silhouette was visible. Suddenly a burst of air exploded outward from the figure. A large tan colored eagle with a large chain wrapped around it's neck with a scythe hanging from the end of the chain spoke:

"What is it this time, master?" asked the bird.

"I need you to take this kid where you picked him up, I'll be there shortly." said Rylu

"Yessir." said Kokwa. Kokwa stomped towards Hoshi and lowered itself to Hoshi's height. "Climb aboard young one."

[VedastoHat]

"Sweetness, Thanks!" He nodded, hopping onto Kokwa.

[Son Garaha]

With a sudden burst of intense speed, Kokwa already in the air. "Hang on." he yelled to Hoshi through the loud, blustering winds that he himself was creating.

[VedastoHat]

"AWESOME!" He yelled out, hanging on tight.

[Son Garaha]

In another gust of speed Kokwa shot forward with uncomprihensible speed. 1 second... Suddenly there was a large slam! Kokwa had hit the ground with his talons and the top of the building dented in even further from the first time he picked Hoshi up. "Here you are-" suddenly Kokwa stopped and looked forward.

Rylu had a very large smile on and he had his jacket hanging on his left shoulder and with his right hand it was in the air. "Hiya guys, what took you."

"My god, you ARE fast, master... Anyways, off you go." Kokwa bucked Hoshi into the air with a forward arch.

[Nyanki]

What appeared to be a young man in a suit of samurai-like armor entered the arena. A scroll that was still stamped with a price tag was underneath one arm. After marching out into the middle of the field, the scroll was unrolled somewhat on the ground. The ninja messed with their left hand, pulling off what appeared to be like a gauntlet. With the pale flesh exposed, the hand was brought to the ninja's face, the thumb poking behind the mask-like mouth covering. The ninja bit into it, drawing blood, then proceeded to smear it across the scroll.

The ninja jumped back, and a large cloud of smoke appeared above the scroll. As if faded, a figure could be made out. The more it faded, the more that could be seen. It was big rectangular block of wood with targets painted on it every which way. Some were big, some were little.

The ninja reattached the armored arm, then swung up an arm. A small section on the arm opened up and fired a kunai at the biggest target. It dug into the wood three rings from the center.

"I can do better...." Hiro said, as she ran closer to the target and shot out two kunai this time.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora was skulking towards the Sunagakure training grounds, his Crow puppet hanging over his back blocking the sun away. He was a bit upset about yesterday's events. He wasn't able to hold his own against someone and had to be saved. He hit the grounds and saw a man standing there training. He came in just in time to see him launch two kunai at a block.

He stood back a ways watching intently. He had seen this guy around before, but didn't really know what he did. So he watched seeing if he could find out.

[Nyanki]

Hiro didn't sense Tora's presence, and continued her personal training session. The two kunai nailed at the target in the rings one and two away from the bullseye. "Come on, come on." As she neared the tall block, she jumped up over it, shooting down at the target painted overtop of the structure. The kunai hit the very edge of the bullseye. After landing on the other side, Hiro swung her arm, shooting more at the large target that was painted before her. This one hit the ring just around the bullseye, and a stream of breath came out of her mouth. Hiro was really starting to get into her training.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora stood back in the shadows the sand moving in the gentle winds. His eyes watching Hiro's movements. With him launching the kunai he saw that his aim was getting a bit better each time. Though based on the movements he was probably a gennin. His blond hair was plastered down on his face, from the heat overhead, but it was somehow very comfortable. He remained standing back, until Hiro noticed his presence. Though if he didn't notice soon Tora would chose to show himself. Maybe he could get some training in.

[Nyanki]

The genin continued not to notice the presence of the fellow Suna-nin, just going on with her training. She ran around the side of the target block, firing three kunai at each of the multiple targets painted on this part. These were much smaller than the other targets Hiro had been practicing on. Two kunai hit the second ring from the center of two of the targets, while the third hit an outer ring of another.

After slowly bringing her running to a stop, Hiro walked up to the wooden target and began pulling out the kunai so that she could reuse them. She started on the side nearest to her, which was the first target she had practiced on in the beginning.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora smiled, stepping out of the shadows his Crow puppet still draped over his back. He walked forward his feet making a slight crunching sound on the sand as his shoes dug into the grains below. He walked about halfway up, when he opened his mouth to speak figuring Hiro hadn't noticed him yet. You aren't very observant are you? He stopped where he was, the sun overhead beating down on the field as he waited for Hiro to respond to him.

[Nyanki]

Hiro was startled by the voice, loosing grip of the kunai in her hands. She clumsily tried to grab them as they fell. She managed to latch on to two of them, while the rest clanged together in the sand before her feet. "Oh, I'm sorry," said Hiro, as she went to pick up the remaining kunai off of the ground. "I'm sure you've been wanting to train here, so I'll just be on my way." Her eyes merely glanced up at Tora for less than a moment before she popped open a compartment on her left arm and started to insert the kunai into it.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora watched Hiro pick the kunai up, moving his fingers in front of him, as Crow began to clatter, moving from his back to in front of him. Why? I was hoping you would stay, I need somebody to train with. He flexed his fingers, Crow gliding forward and then backwards. He took a step backwards as Crow stayed stationary, and Tora smiled widely. Would you give me the honor of being my training partner for the day?

[Nyanki]

"Oh, o-okay," Hiro answered nervously, then bit her lip underneath the puppet mask. She stepped backwards a bit as she finished inserting the kunai and closed the hatch. 'You can go first." She waited for the Suna-nin to move the puppet at her while she tried to think of how to react to it.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora nodded and then he pushed forward with his hands, moving his fingers, up and down, on his left hand. This caused Crow to dash forward, the chatter of the puppet the only sound as the puppet moved. Then with Tora's finger movements the right arm of Crow lifted up, opening in a couple of sections shooting out three kunai and a smoke bomb. These weapons of course weren't poisoned as they were for training purposes only.

[schrodinger]

Maya walked confidently from the sunagakure gates, strolling into the arena...she utterly ignored the puppet masters there....and decided that she was more in the mood to kill wooden training posts than fight people. She smiled as she aproached a row of training posts...there was a fairly danderous gleam in her eye....maya took a deep breath, drawing a long handled kunai from her waist pouch....it didnt have any wrapings for grip.....wrapings tended to get burnt up pretty quickly.....maya concentrated hand, and after about ten seconds, the kunai began glowing slightly red with heat.... maya did a couple hand sighns....the kunai began to dance with flames...maya was very stoked now.....she got into a crouching position....and then, she dashed forewards, slashing three posts...they burst into flames....still, maya realised that real battles wouldnt be so easy. She had never fought an enemy ninja, and had had fairly little battle experiance, due to most people of her level having to nurse burn wounds later....she knew she wasnt a good training partner....she had no halfway point...either she burned you, or she didnt....still...slowly, over time, maya had begun to develope her skills, partly from hikos guiding hand, and partly with her own rigurous training.... She flipped backwards, landing on top of a training post, and stabing a bomb kunai into its top, as she jumped off, she lit it with a touch, and then, as it exploded, she landed, breathing hard.....she didnt do it for attention...she could get that in eisier ways....no..the reason that she trained so hard was that she genuinely wished to become strong, and to forge her own destiny....not that she was big on the destiny idea in the first place.

[Nyanki]

Hiro let out a breath then ran forward, smacking at the oncoming kunai with her puppet-armored right arm. They made a few nicks in the wood, but nothing serious. She let the smoke bomb hit as she swung her left arm, punching at Tora's puppet's face.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora moved his fingers in a flurry of motions pulling his puppet back from the smoke. The attack missing Crow slightly. Then suddenly Crow was swirling around the outside of the smoke bomb, and with a pull from one of Tora's fingers, the Crow puppet's mouth opened firing off multiple senbon into the smoke. Tora smiled, he wondered how his training partner would handle this move. Tora whispered the words into the air as he directed Crow. Doku Kiri Jigoku • Baribari Hyaku Renpatsu

[Nyanki]

The sound of wood being pierced could be heard coming from the smokescreen, and a senbon-covered Hiro emerged. Underneath the covering, blood trickled at the shallow and bare places some senbon hit. She ran in the direction the senbon had come from, heading straight for the puppet. Hiro jumped up from just beneath it, going for a powerful uppercut with her left fist.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora didn't get what Hiro was doing, attacking only his puppet and not going for the puppet master. He twisted his fingers, Crow gliding back, the fist hitting Crow's chin knocking the head off, but that wasn't a major worry. Tora began to move his middle finger, of his left hand the head twitched and then shot forward, a blade protruding from the neck aiming to hit Hiro. If he wasn't able to dodge Tora would stop the attack before it hit, but hopefully he could dodge it.

[schrodinger]

Maya was jumping around even befpre they reached the training field, running across walls, untill finally, they were at the training field.... Maya smiled....as they entered the enclosed area, she whipped around and pointed at hiko... "Your going down." she said jokingly

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko laughed at Maya as she ran through the village, and then they made it to the enclosed area of the training field. Hiko reached back and slowly drew a kunai spinning it around his finger and then stylishly catching it. It was a training kunai so it wouldn't leave major wounds just hurt when it poked you. We shall see, show me what you got. He pulled his robe, it pulled off, revealing an outfit below. He was wearing a sandy brown jounin vest over top and long wind pants over his legs.

[schrodinger]

Maya smiled.....then, she dashed...if there was one thing about mayas fighting style, it was that she was hard to catch in any sort of hold, because, not only was she very agile, but it would burn you almost imediately. She slid to the right, and then, in a quick movement, she struck...a flurry of blows at hiko's midsection.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko spun causing him to move around the blows, and then he was at Maya's side swinging out with a kick towards her back, that would push her forward. At the same time he twisted his wrist so he flicked the kunai at Maya. She should have been able to easily dodge the kunai by ducking, but the kick may be a little bit harder.

[schrodinger]

She smiled....there was a reason she trained every day. "Flare warning Lvl 1!" Maya did two handsighns, and with a whoosh, flames erupted outwards, hiding mayas position for a moment....a moment she used to pivot around hiko, and attempt to dive into his legs, hopefully, knocking him down.....she didnt have high hopes...they had been training for a VERY long time, and every bout, maya found a different way to lose...still, it was good, for every time she did, she learned from it, making sure not to fall for the same tricks.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled, Maya did have a good plan and it would probably work on somebody of her own rank but Hiko was the kage after all. He let Maya tackle his legs but then he went into a roll, which would probably flip Maya off and she would be back in front of him as he stood. A silly smile on his face. So, is that your new jutsu? He blinked a few times, it was pretty bright and confusing but not all that harmful.

[schrodinger]

Maya pouted... "No...but i thought it might work...." she said...then she sighed. in a flash, she had dashed away, blocking her path with a blast of fire....she had dissapeered....in actuality, she was just hiding behind a training post....there were advantages to being little....then, she quickly began weaving handsighns, and within a couple seconds, ten clones had apeered. she panted slightly...the jutsu was a bit draining, but she knew it was a lot more than what hiko had previously seen her do....three of the clones rushed hiko, while the rest circled around.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko nodded, ten that was a pretty big number for Maya, it would for sure take a lot out of her. He flipped back his body spiraling through the air as he threw three shuriken at the clones coming towards him, and then he formed a handseal hitting the ground gathering chakra through his body. He seemed to be waiting for something.

[schrodinger]

the clones spread out, ducking under the kunai and dashing at hiko, one from the left one from the right, and one in front. Maya meanwhile was planning her next move.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Luckily Hiko knew these were just clones so when his body slowly morphed his eyes turning coal black and the black tear drops formed he didn't need to worry about hurting Maya. He flipped onto his hands spinning and then he flipped forward aiming to grab the clone coming at him by the face and send his chakra into it. Hopefully it wasn't a bad idea on his part.

[schrodinger]

As it turned out, it was a very.....veeeery bad idea....As the clone touched him, an incredibly intence blast of fire seared the area, setting off the two other clones, who also erupted....these blasts would have been b class if they were bigger..as it was, maya had planned intensity over are, so it would be possible to escape the brunt of the attack...however, the flames were searing hot, even more so than most fire attacks...if nothing else, hiko would have a few burns....the downside, maya was down three clones.

[Nyanki]

Tora didn't get what Hiro was doing, attacking only his puppet and not going for the puppet master. He twisted his fingers, Crow gliding back, the fist hitting Crow's chin knocking the head off, but that wasn't a major worry. Tora began to move his middle finger, of his left hand the head twitched and then shot forward, a blade protruding from the neck aiming to hit Hiro. If he wasn't able to dodge Tora would stop the attack before it hit, but hopefully he could dodge it.
Hiro gripped onto the puppet's body, pulling herself away as fast as she could from the flying head blade. It did catch onto her clothes, tearing across them. A large slit was made in the wood of the puppet armor, just protecting her from the blade cutting into her like it would had done otherwise.

From the puppet body, Hiro lept at Tora. She brought both hands together, interlocking the fingers, and was going for a downward hit on the ninja with the strength of both of her arms.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora didn't realize what was happening till it was almost to late. He severed the chakra strings pulling a scroll from his back full speed as it unrolled as it flew out across the ground. Just as Hiro's arms came down Tora formed a handseal a large cloud of smoke rising up from the scroll that had been unraveled in front of Tora. Just as Hiro hit the smoke a loud clang could be heard.

The smoke cleared and in front of Tora was a large salamander looking puppet. An iron wall was raised up, but it didn't matter. Hiro was behind the puppet and Tora had been pushed back. Her attack had hit but luckily she had hit the top of Sanshou's wall slowing her down just a bit so Tora hadn't taken the full force. Though now Tora had two puppets on the field how would Hiro handle this?

Then he moved his fingers and instead of the puppet moving Tora moved. Though as he flew towards Sanshou the puppet turned so it was facing Hiro. After the movement Tora was standing behind Sanshou huffing lightly.

[Nyanki]

Hiro did a small jump back after she hit the puppet. She stood still for a moment as she took in the situation. "There's two now?" Her confidence dropped slightly, but she pressed herself to continue. Raising her right arm, she aimed at Tora and shot a kunai. After the kunai left her arm, Hiro attempted to make a dash around the salamander puppet. She hoped the kunai would force Tora to act against it while she tried to get closer.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora moved his fingers lightly the metal wall adjusting so that it deflected the kunai. As this happened the Crow puppet dashed in front of Hiro shooting out three kunai. Each one flew through the air on a straight course for Hiro aiming to sink into her armor. Then suddenly behind one of the kunais dangled a small yellow orb. If Hiro knew anything about ninja tools he would quickly realize it was a flash bomb. As the kunai drew ever close the flash bomb exploded in a blinding light hopefully catching Hiro off guard.

[Nyanki]

Hiro went to swipe at the oncoming kunai when she noticed the flash bomb. It was too late. The bomb exploded before her. This made her wave go off from where she wished. Chitch! A kunai scraped down the wooded arm. Thunk! A kunai plunged into the wood that covered her upper left shoulder. The wood wasn't as thick there for moveability reasons. The wood around the hole cracked with small fissures. Hiro could feel the blood begin to trickle. It was a shallow hit, but more than enough to make blood flow.

As the flash's light faded to her eyes, Hiro dropped down to her knees. Her right arm was around the blade of the kunai, trying to pull it out of the wood.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tora saw the wound, he quickly disconnected the chakra strings to his puppets. He jogged over and knelt down next to Hiro. The kunai had been lodged in pretty well. Sorry about that. He reached down placing his left palm on the wood where the kunai was pierced and then used his other hand to yank the kunai out.

Then before Tora could continue apologizing a red hawk flew over head, letting out a simple screech, it was the call of the Kazekage. He was probably looking for the two of them. I think the Kazekage is looking for us, we should get going. Again, I'm really sorry about your arm. With that he sealed his puppets away and waited for Hiro.

[Nyanki]

Hiro held her breath. It was awkward to have Tora in her space, but she just froze. After the hawk flew overhead and Tora backed away from her, Hiro managed to get out a, "N-no, don't worry about it." Since the Kazekage wanted them, there was nothing else she could do than to go with the Suna boy and head to the office of the village's leader. She pulled in her right arm from within the puppet arm and into the main body. Hiro grabbed a cloth that was within the armor and held it against the wound as they exited the training field.

[X-Drake]

Shi made it to the training grounds. He then looked back to see if Rei had came.

[Sunny]

Rei sat on a block of wood, which was etched into the sand for various reasons. She hopped off walking towards Shi with her hands in her pockets. "Your slow." She expressed, with a smile. In fact, she had made it a few minutes before Shi's arrival since her puppet was quite agile and nimble. She removed one of her hands from her pocket to greet him. "What's your name again I wasn't really paying attention, and the Kazekage told me you could explain to me what that meeting was all about." She bit down on a cookie awaiting a reply.

[X-Drake]

Shi looked at her with a blank look. Being a anbu commander he wasn't fond of shinobi that don't listen to briefings. But she was not in his squad and he was ordered to tell, so Shi let it pass. "I'm Shi, and basically the briefing is later but this was a pre-briefing to get ready for the task." he said as he had a drink in his hand, he then took a sip. It seemed he got a drink and then came.

"Hakumei..They are making some moves and becoming active, and every village is sending a taskforce to deal with them. We are the force from Suna's side. We are meant to search out information on them, Snow Sannin Jesse is the leader of them. Based upon this, I think the other nations will send their forces to the hidden snow. I think we should go to the other villages and see what information they are using. But I'll ask kazekage-sama about this. We are meant to report back in about 48 hours"

[Sunny]

"Hm sounds very nifty it gives me something to do since I've been bored all day. So who else in the squad?" She asked, nibble on the remains of the cookie she possessed.

ooc: sorry for shortness.

"The suna puppet five is being sent. I do not know any of the members, I have been in the anbu since I was 16 and a few months. So my Identity was only known to the kazekage. I'm 23 now. I do not pay attention to shinobi of this village. Only memebers of my team, missing-nins and other village shinobi." He then finishing the drink

"So whats your background Rei?" he said smiling for the first time since his eye problem. He had lost he nice green pupil eyes and now had Hyuuga eyes. He liked the byakugan but missed his old eyes.

[Sunny]

"Interesting life I assume you've had." She remarked, raising her eyebrow at his question searching for thoughts on where to begin. "Well I was shunned by my family after I started developing an interest in puppet mastery. After that I joined the Suna Six and ended up here. And I'm 17." She replied, pulling out a canteen filled with water. The cover flipped open before it met her mouth allowing the water to flush down her throat, providing with a boost in energy along with flushing out the sugar from the cookie.

[X-Drake]

"My life is okay...I do remember the name being Suna puppet five now....I see, come lets train. Come at me with everything you got. But not the puppets. A good puppet master can fight without a puppet. A puppet is a tool but also more than a tool. The better the user, the more justice it does for its puppet. Like a sword. If you can't use it, then its useless to you. Use ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu and anything else...Then puppets after." he said getting into a fighting pose, he liked to see if he can trust the people he goes on missions with.

[Sunny]

"Okay, but you go first." She replied, getting herself into a stance readying for whenever he decided to attack. This fight would be tough since she was just barely average in Ninjutsu. However, she was skilled in Taijustsu to some extent. Maybe if all things went well this man could teach her a few things that could help her sharpen her skills.

[X-Drake]

Shi smilled before throwing a kunai at her
"there I went first, now come at me"

[Sunny]

She weaved around the kunai with relative ease, as it lodged itself into the wooden block. Two shuriken's slid down towards her fingers before it was flung towards the shinobi in front of her. Her hair swayed sideways from the wind hitting her face, she was aware that he had the hyuuga clan eyes, so this wouldn't be easy but she would try her best.

[X-Drake]

"Just to say, I'm not a hyuuga...your one of the first people I told, except my team and my old jounin/chuunin/genin friends. It happened a while back, I got the eyes, helps with the puppets." he said as he dodged the shurikens while running towards her forming seals
"Daitoppa" he said as a strong gust of wind came to Rei..

[Sunny]

While running Rei begun to form hand seals accompanied by the exhalation of large amount of air into her lungs. "Mugen Sajin Daitoppa." Before the gust of wind make contact with her, it was countered by the same type of blast just on a higher scale. However, though this blast was performed by partially transformed Gaara, it was on no way near the same level. She leaped over the back lash of wind from the colliding attack tossing to tag attached kunai, which were lit after leaving her fingers.

[X-Drake]

Shi jumped back from the blast, he then used Chakra no Ami as chakra poured into the ground. Nothing happen, then the chakra was under were Rei was.




Chakra no Ami -- Chakra Net
Creator: Kuro Nagashi
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Range: Close to Mid
Hand Seals: Tora, U, Mi
After performing the needed hand seals, the user will place their hands palms down onto the ground. As their hands make contact with the earth, the user will channel chakra into the ground. As the chakra spreads out it forms a network of crossing threads, if these threads are stepped onto the entire area will lash up encasing the target in a net made of chakra, restricting movement. This will only last for about two minutes at most, but can be broken out of.

[Sunny]

Rei whipped herself further into the air with agile acrobatic movement. Using the momentum she pulled out two wire attached shurikens lashing them towards a nearby block. The wires whipped around the block firmly, which she used to pull herself inward planting herself onto the block so she wouldn't touch the chakra net. However, when she landed she hurled two wire attached kunai's towards Shi, which snapped hurling the kunai at full speed towards him.

[X-Drake]

Shi had a new move he created. He created 10 chakra strings from his fingers and thumbs. He then moved them ahead as they attached to the kunai. They then dropped the kunai as he made them move towards Rei. If it touched her, he could control her like a puppet for a brief moment.

[Sunny]

She leaped onto the next block barely dodging the chakra strings. She created chakra strings herself directing them towards the chakra net that was around her. Since these strings were chakra themselves they latched onto those chakra strings connecting themselves onto those giving her control of those on the ground. With a flick of her fingers the chakra strings shot up hoping to encase him in the chakra prison.

[X-Drake]

Shi then used a weak version of Kazekiri, the wind then sliced through the chakra strings and net.
"Now puppets." He said as he stopped
"Lets go into the desert.." as he he pointed and used shunshin and left in that Direction

[Sunny]

"Very well." She replied as she sped off towards that direction followed up by a shunshin, disappearing from the area completely as she made her way towards the desert within Sunagakure no Sato.
