❧ || Environment: Forest

[Panthers7]

After accomplishing his Kekkei Genkai technique Noel decided that with the seclusion that this forest has to offer he could get into training more with his Clan created jutsu. And, with the peace that the place had to offer, Noel was sure he'd at least put a nice little dent into the technique that he is attempting to master. But, Noel knew that he might just have to leave this wondrous terrain for a moment as he didn't know much about one of the greatest aspects of this Ninjutsu... coverting Nature energy into power. With that, Noel decided it was time to visit the library. A place that he was rather fond of in learning more and more about the Shinobi World that would definitely benefit him as he grows in power. Picking up all of his items and walking carefully off of the platform he created in the depths of the forest, Noel headed towards the library or at least to find someone that may help him understand the energy of nature better.

"The Mind Conquers All"

It was three years after Keiji was born. He was in a rather odd building, filled with very noisy people, men grabbing woman in weird places, and it all seemed to be centered around some odd liquid everyone was drinking down. He was offered some, so he drank as well, even if it was just a small sip. It tasted horrible at first, but he wasn't going to lose to some stupid drink, so he drank more. That's probably where he got his taste for sake.

Fast forward three years. Keiji was now introduced to a girl about his age from his mother's side of the family. She was as pretty as a painting, violent as a hurricane when she needed to be, and as mischievous as an imp. For the first time, he had someone on his level to connect with. She never acted with an alternative motive or some hidden agenda. She simply acted on impulse, and never to permanently harm anyone, though she did hit Keiji many times through rough housing.

Fast forward another two years. His mother laid in a pool of her own blood, The girl was knocked out cold, barely breathing, Keiji's body was almost completely broken with his back leaning on the wall, and his father glared at him with a massive killing intent and a knife in his hand. This would be a scene he'd never forget. This was the moment his family was torn apart, and his father's mind was destroyed by his son. Genjutsu has a way of messing with a person's mind when controlled. When not, it destroys the target completely. Add hatred behind that to fuel the power, and.. well... you can imagine the rest. It was then that he was taken in by the people of Konoha.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Keiji's eyes slowly opened as he finished his little nap on the tree branch. He gazed at his palm as his hand relaxed and clenched, relaxed and clenched. "Yuu..." No wonder he was drawn to Shade. That face under the hood, that personality of random acts due to a spontaneous nature. Every bit of her reminded him of his cousin. His head sunk as he sighed, then patted his cheeks to wake himself up. He wasn't that lonely boy, that boy who hated God for doing this to him. He was Keiji, genjutsu specialist of Konoha. That's all there was to it.

Keshin Kaguya

Jounin/ Bone Demon/ Taijutsu

Keshin walked trough the forest as his eyes roamed around him looking for a clearing that was big enough for him to train in yet small enough to stay hidden by normal ninjas that werent use to looking at every detail. Smiling he comes upon the perfect place, a clearing about 20 feet in all directions that also had a small lake beside it that he could use to refresh him self after training. Making his way into the clearing he removes his katana and set it down by a tree as he looked over at the farther tree from him. That would be his long diststance tree to hit as he made his way over to it with his katana and slashed and 'X' on th tree to mark the target as he made his way back over to the other tree and places his sword in its hilt. Once back he sat down and began to relax due to the long distance he made to this spot.

I've lost something...

Ayaki Daichi

Sitting with her back up against a tree, Ayaki stared up at the tree tops. Some food she'd brought with her lay abandoned on her lap, her hands resting together and encircling them Wonder why Jae is different now...Wonder if that Keiji has anything to do with it... she sighed and let her head fall to one side, staring at the grass near her feet. Her eyes began to shut as Aya started to doze off, all purpose forgotten for the moment.

I've lost something...

Ayaki Daichi

Ayaki jerked awake as a piercing whistle ripped through the area and she spilled all her food across her lap. She sniffled then realized the whistle was coming from somewhere in Leaf "My food..." she stood, cleaned off her pants then took off, determined to find the whistler in question and make them pay for her food. Literally buy her more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The aura around her had fully developed now and her state had been completed. While she began to grow accustomed to it she followed the river downstream. Soon she broke away from its path and headed into the forested planes of Konoha.

Often times an aura such as this had been used to mask fights, to hide off intruders. Those that had invaded would try sneaking in through the forest as opposed to going directly through the village streets. It was a smart tactic but it didn't always work. Once she had mastered her state of defense the girl would begin working on yet another state, one more difficult.

The State of the Beast had been something she had only seen by her father, and as she headed along the forested area she didn't sense any danger. Wild animals roaming about but all appeared calm and quiet, she would be able to detect anyone that was invisible since one couldn't completely mask their heartbeat. Jade took her leave, heading to a more crowded area.

Doragon Zantenepsuto

Doragon walked into a clearing and took a deep breath, concentrating his chakra into an aura. "Tanebi no Jutsu," he said, making a handsign and taking out his tanto. As Doragon focused, flames began to come out and cover his katana. However, it didn't get far before they stopped. Doragon focused, but the flames instead resceded. "Tenebi no Jutsu!" he shouted, concentrating. Then, little by little, the flames stretched and covered the blade of the tanto. Doragon smirked and swung it around. 'There goes one,' he thought. 'Only one more Ninjutsu left. Maybe Fuuton.' Doragon then made another handsign and focused. Suddenly, the wind around him began to pick up. Leaves began to blow toward him, circling him. They began to swirl faster and faster until they were inside a whirlwind. Doragon stayed focused so the leaves wouldn't fall. As he did this, twigs and plucked grass began to join in the whirlwind. Dirt also joined in. All the debris that gathered made the shield stronger. However, after a while, the armor stopped. Doragon was to tired to use it again. "I need a break," he said as he went toward the river.

Saku entered the forest and quickly found a quiet spot as he began to meditate. As he sat there his hands began to form handsigns over and over again as he began to feel the chakra well up in him. Soon he found himself doing more and more handsigns know full well that he would become stronger.

[1/10]

As he continued to meditate his hand began to move in a more rapid pace forming differnt handsigns faster and faster. While meditating he began to say the names of each handsign he was doing as his hands slowed down so he didnt confuse himself. Finally being at peace he felt th chakra rise inside of him.

[2/10]

Being a nara most of the handsigns he knew due to that he had studyed them over the years. Soon he found himself learning handsigns that he didnt even know he knew for Raiton and even some other jutsus. Not long after he began saying the names of the signs did his hands begin to pick up speed.

[3/10]

Slowly yet steadily his hand began to move quicker with each handsign he formed. Feeling the chakra build even higher he knew that he could become an even strong ninja than his father was. Suddenly he felt a rush of chakra consume him as his hands no longer were able to be seen as he ran through every sign.

[4/10]

Not knowing his body was doing this Saku found himself filled with power strength and even itelligance. Most ninjas wouldnt know what to do with the power he felt but he was strong smart and cunning he could master it. As his hands moved a blur he began to allow the chakra to fil him even more.

[5/10 Chakra training 1 done]

Moving faster and faster in the silence of the forest he found himself at ease with his body. The chakra filled him and soon he felt it becoming a part of him infusing him with more power and strength. His hands began to slow as he smiled in his meditation.

[6/10]

Then without warning his hand picked up speed once again as he felt another rush of chakra in his body. This was so exciting he could feel power surge through him filling him with stamina and strength. He felt his legs nimber up a bit as the chakra flowed through him.

[7/10]

Saku let the chakra take control as he did what he should naturally do welcome it. It wasn't long after that he found himself saying the signs almost as fast as his hand can form them. He knew that this power was great and that he would become a great shinobi one day.

[8/10]

Slowing his hands to a stop he felt the chakra that had once over filled him become a part of him as he siled and opened his eyes. He knew right then that he was stroner than most genin were and that he could keep up with the boy he saw outside the Hokage office. Standing he began to jump about feeling lighter than he was before.

[9/10]

Gathering his things Saku turned to the exit as he needed to begin his training now. He only knew of one of his weaknesses now and that was something he would keep to himself. Not looking back he left the forest almost as fast as he had arrived yet it had seemed like he had been there forever.

"The only true fear is of dying with your duty not done."

Dakkon poked his head around the trunk of the tree so far everything in here was safe too, this wasn't a very exciting mission maybe he would spar with night later that would be nice he could show her all the new ninjutsu he learned maybe she'd be impressed he laughed a little his mind was clouded as he examined the rest of the forest good thing it was empty of enemy ninjas.  

[Dakko Nailo]

Dakkon Nokren Nailo |-|Genin (300)|-|AC:900|-| 200 両

"The only true fear is of dying with your duty not done."

Dakkon laughed lightly at the idea he had in his mind last time he was here after what he saw he was almost sure nothing would happen between them even if they we're on a squad together... but oh well the patrol got his mind off it as he examined the woods and detected no ninjas.  

[Dakko Nailo]

Dakkon Nokren Nailo |-|Genin (340) 260|-|AC:1,500|-| 500 両

"The only true fear is of dying with your duty not done."

Training: Performance x2 1/6
Dakkon stood inside of the forest he was ready to see how well he could manipulate his chakara well he figured he'd start with simple earth moving and such with the the earth of the forest he took a stance spreading chakara to his fingertips exposing the emerald color of his chakara as he began moving the earth lightly picking up small rocks and dirt clods spinning them lightly and such.

Training: Performance x2 2/6
He than began picking up larger chunks and more dirt in a small spiral using his chakara to infuse it and spin and rotate it he seemed to have great control over it and this made him smile lightly.

Training: Performance x2 3/6
Even larger rocks had been picked up and he began to strike at trees with the ones he collected slicing the tree trunk lightly and than at a whim he let it go.

Training: Performance x2 4/6
Dakkon than began walking up the trunk of the tree focusing his chakara on his feet for the tree walking jutsu he kept it as stable as he could and he may have fallen off hlafway up but that was just the first step.

Training: Performance x2 5/6
Dakkon tried again he made it all the way up the tree this time without a problem he had a smile the whole way up and he than sat at the crown of the tree looking out at the sea of green

Training: Performance x2 6/6
After viewing the trees he decided an unorthadox method of getting down he focused the chakara to his hands and slowly walked down on his hands instead of his legs  

[Dakko Nailo]

Dakkon Nokren Nailo |-|Genin (340) 300|-|AC:1,750|-| 650 両

"The only true fear is of dying with your duty not done."

Dakkon on patrol again here nothing in the forest it would seem to him he felt uneasy lately. Being around any Genin all seemed way to interested in fighting none we're like him and appreciated the stealth and the cunning it took.

"Another boring day full of stinkin' D-ranked missions!" Hitomi grumbled to herself as she watched the small German Shepherd puppy sniff the ground. After she had checkednthe mission board, she had picked the least tedious mission so she would still have energy to train after completing this mission. She walked around the forest and admired the rays of the sun as they seeped through the canopy of leaves, occasionally making sure she had a good grip on the leash.

Walk a Pet 1/3

Hitomi continued to walk around the forest, glad that the dog, Brownie, wasn't too hyperactive and his owner, a middle-aged woman, seemed kind enough to trust her with her dog. She had gotten a bit scared when she accidentally dropped the leash and Brownie began running. That's when she was eternally grateful for the chakra training she had done and used a burst of chakra to her legs to catch up to the dog and claim back the leash. The oblivious puppy simply stared at her and wagged its tail, thinking she wanted to play with him. Hitomi sighed.

Walk a Pet 2/3

Since Brownie's owner told her to walk him for about an hour, when that hour was over, she headed back to the client's home with the puppy happily trailing after her. After the woman thanked her and Hitomi turned in her mission, she went to go buy a snack and headed over to the training facilities.

Walk a Pet 3/3 complete  

[Shinigami Abarai]

Uinsean's clone wandered through the forest carefully. He cautiously checked all the clearings, and up trees. After looking for some time, he began his walk back out. "Forest is clear.."

Hitomi walked around the forest and sat down against a tree bark for a few minutes to rest. She stared up at the sky through the canopy of leaves and squinted when her gaze travelled too close to the sun. After resting for five minutes, she got up and resumed her patrol. When she made sure nothing threatening was around, she headed out.
