Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hidden Tree:

The moment that the smoke appeared loki brought his hands up to make the channel Chakra sign and said, "Iron Sand!" He was immediatley envoloped in a dome of iron sand that would protect him. He heard the clatter of Senbon needles as his sheild went up and he also heard the sound of snakes around his sheild, "Iron Sand Drizzle!' Loki said within his shield and millions of Iron bullets formed and whistled off towards Tai in his puppet suit. Loki knew he had little time left before he would collapse with exhaustion(my next post will be my last fighting one ill make it very narutoy if thats even a word) Loki jumped back and ran up a tree to get clear of the smoke so he could more easily survey the area in which he was battling.

Oh holy crap i think i blew my foot off 5/??

Hidden Tree:

Loki saw how Tai had used the sand as a defense and used it to his advantage. While the sane was withdrawing Loki flickered to tai's left and attempted to behead Tai's puppet being as close and as fast as he was he would have surely made contact save a few inches before hitting Loki stopped dead as his heart burst from both the Poison and the Disease. He coughed blood and looked Tai in the eye thinking "Son... of... a...[/]i" but before he could finish the thought he had drifted off into death falling down into the blackness that was death he had been there before just recently and it appeared he was there once again.

Oh holy crap i think i blew my foot off 6/??

Tai couldn't help but want to use his new puppet. He broke apart the masks and jumped out of Kama. He sealed the Kaguya before making the hand seals and once again entering his ghost-like state. He jumped into his newly made Mizu puppet. He then fixed the two halves of the mask on himself and Kama. In a blinding flash of light, the puppets became one. Tai now had the abilities of his puppet master teacher while also having water bending abilities of a Mizu. Tai pulled of his Sand headband and pulled out a fake Mist headband, wearing it around his neck. No one would be able to know it was Tai.

Matsuide quickly jumped back, but because of the flying swallow technique, he still recieved a slash to his chest. He was surprised by that. Still he jumped out of reach of Aramaki's next attack. It was true that he was tired. "I think we should stop not," he said suddenly as he resheathed his sword. It was interesting how willing he was to stop the fight but with him fatigued, Aramaki probably had the upper hand. Aramaki, though a little puzzled, did the same thing and sheathed his own sword. He did not truely trust the man but he was willing to take a rest.

1

"Good good. I must say that you are a lot stronger than I thought you were. Though that should not be too surprising. You are a Gekkou and your sickness does well to hide your true strength. I guess that none the less I should not have gone so easy on you. If I had no then maybe I would have had the upper hand. Of course that would also mean that you would be dead since your kind are so incapable of admitting defeat. Well do not just stand there. Lets get started on all of that fruit that I bought."

2

With that, Matsuide quickly made his way towards the bag of groceries that were near the far wall. Suddenly Aramaki understood why the man spent all of that time getting all of that food. He was thankful that Matsuide had that kind of future sight. It became obvious to Aramaki that this was not the first time Matsuide had done this before. That scared Aramaki. To think taht the guy was willing to go through all that was unbelievable. Aramaki walked towards the food and picked out a piece of fruit from the bag that Matsuide offered him.

3

Aramaki studied the fruit for a few moments. It looked tasteful enough. There did not seem to be any blemishes on the skin of the piece of fruit which was a plus. Aramaki bit into it and tasted that it was perfectly fresh. He was happy. the fruit tasted delicious and it was the perfect thing after a battle like that. Aramaki did not realize how tired he was until he bit into the piece of fruit. He sat down leaning against one of the dusty walls of the dojo. Aramaki looked around and saw that the windows of the place were covered in a layer of sweat.

4

Aramaki noticed that the temperature had risen a great deal in the dojo. They had had a great workout in that fight. Matsuide took off the top of his outfit and Aramaki spied all of the scars that the old man had gained over the years. Matsuide began to speak again. "It has been a long time since I have trained a Gekkou and I have to say that your skills are quite strong. You have the potential to be great when you grow in the ranks. That I am sure about. I rarely get scars when I train someone, and the one you gave me will be one more trophy for me.

5

Well I am going to leave for a while. When you have rested, look for me outside. I have buisness to attend to out there." With that, Matsuide left Aramaki and walked out the door to the dojo. Aramaki was left inside to rumigate over all the things that Matsuide told him. For a man of such few words, Matsuide's teaching was hard to swallow. Matsuide was a strong swordsmen. Aramaki looked at his right hand. Matsuide was not the only person who had been injured during their battle. Aramaki knew that he had fractured some fingers when Matsuide had blocked his crescent moon dance.

6

Aramaki had other plans, however. He did have a lot to do during this little training sabatacle that Akira had put him and the rest of his team on. He probably would not be able to continue the training sabatacle if he would get anymore injuries form Matsuide. He liked the old guy, but he had a lot of things to do to get ready for Akira's return. He was doing his own training to prepare for the jonin exams. He would of course attempt to skip them if he could. He had the skills to do that, but he lacked the practice and possibly the dissilpline to put those skills to good use.

1

However, this was sopposed to be about Aramaki so I should cease from digressing. Aramaki after sufficient rest decided that he would leave this place to return when he was stronger. It is true that he enjoyed his battles with Matsuide but they were far too dangerous for their own good. That would of course be bad for him if he would get injured. He got onto his feet and walked out into the garden. It was a truely beautiful place and Aramaki enjoyed the cool breeze out there. It was obvious that Matsuide put more work in the outside of the dojo then he did with the inside of it.

2

After a short while Aramaki finally found Matsuide. It appeared that the old man was more tired than Aramaki had figured. The man was lying next to the stream fast asleep. Aramaki was quite apprehensive when it came to attempting to wake up someone like him. The truth was that that would be a very dangerous thing to do. Expecially when the person that Aramaki was considering waking was infact a dangerous master swordsmen. An attempt like that would probably lose him a few fingers. That would not be something that he would enjoy.

3

Aramaki made the decisiong to depart and move on. He would not go to the Hidden Wind and take part in some training there before he would return to the Hidden Moon Village for even more training. He left the village through the same way that he came in, this time taking the time to pay respect to the swords that lay at the entrance of the village. Aramaki was a greay many things, however one of them was not someone who held disrespect for the dead. No, Aramaki had a great respect for dead heroes and the sacrifices that they made in defense of their villages.

4

Leaving the Hidden Tree Village, Aramaki was once again on the road. He the new federation that included the Hidden Tree Village made it quite easy for Aramaki to move from village to village. Aramaki was on the road for but a day and a half until he reached the wind village. It was quite a village to say the least. It had, among other things, some legendary swordsmen with legendary moves. That would make it quite fun to be here. Aramaki walked into the village and saw that it was not too different from any other village that he had ever been in to say the least.

5 ::insert time jump::

Suddenly Akuma started shimmering to the left and the right as several clones appeared. Listening to the basics about the technique and actually seeing it are very different. Consciously knowing that the majoity if not all of the Akumas in front of him were clones was not enough to calm him down. As they attacked he quickly made to block every slash. He did not simply let them through because there would also be the chance that Akuma was among the clones that were attacking him and would attack.

6

However while he was blocking he was trying to listen to hear the real Akumas footsteps from anywhere. He heard nothing, but was not surprised. Gekkou Akuma was a celebrated Gekkou ninja. There was a reason why he was chosen by the previous leader to lead the clan. He has mastered all of the Clans techniques and is their strongest fighter. Needless to say, Aramaki knew that he would have to be very lucky to dodge this technique if Gekkou Akuma really wanted it to go through.

7

Sure enough, at the last second Aramaki heard what he was looking for. But it was to late. He suddenly recieved a blow from his left side, his blind side, while he was defending against the clones. It was a painful hit and it left Aramaki on the ground for the count. "You can see its usefulness. And just think, that is simply the second dance in the series. The final dance is simply devastating to your opponent. When you have recuperated, you should attempt to perfect that technique.

8

I tell you once again, there is no hurry since next to no time will pass while we are inside this place. When you are ready we can continue." With that, Akuma stepped back so that he could lean against the wall. HE was exausted from the technique, that was to say the least. One thing that Gekkou had that was a major problem for them was with the disease cursing through our veins we had terrible stamina. A movve like one of the dances would not kill our chakra stores, but would leave us gasping for air.

9 Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū: Ryūsōsen~ Garami

Aramaki thought about the technique while he was on the ground. IT was truly a good technique to know. He was more than willing to work to add it to his repitoir, along with the other dances. After he felt that he was on the ground for long enough, he finally got up and prepared to attack. First he made a clone. The clone would be the dummy that Aramaki would use to prectice the technique on. That way Akuma would get the rest he needs so the he would be ready and rested to teach Aramaki the next thechnique.

Tamao
Hidden Wind

Tamao looked inside of the box, not sure just what she was supposed to be seeing. Whatever was inside, was wrapped in a thick layer of padding. Or maybe it was the padding, she couldn't be sure. She tipped the box over and set it on the desk, and carefully began pulling it's contents out. They were wedged in securely, although not crammed in over tightly. She was careful to try not to rip or tear anything. Since she didn't know what it was, she didn't want to risk breaking it. Who knows what sort of trouble she might get in if she were to do such a
(41 of ???)

thing? Finally, the wrapped object was successfully withdrawn from the box, and she looked it over. It seemed to be perfectly ordinary padding, so whatever the contents were, they'd simply have to be inside of the padding. There was a small, folded-up sheet of paper that had come out of the box, and she unfolded it, looking it over. Only to stop, rub her eyes, and try again. Squinting her eyes a little, she tried reading the rather small writing, barely managing to make out the list of required tools to successfully assemble whatever in the world she'd be
(42 of ???)

assembling. She frowned when she read the list, those weren't ordinary tools, they were more like what a watchmaker would use. Where in the world was she going to find things like that? Well, the likely place would be at a watchmaker's or even a jewelcrafter or ringsmith, naturally. Was there a place like that in this village? And if there was, would they even let her borrow their tools? She didn't know. Sighing, she got to her feet, and left her room, locking it up securely behind her. She was a bit apprehensive about leaving the relative safety of her
(43 of ???)

room, but her adversary had said they'd be back another time. Somehow, she felt that meant it'd be at least a couple days before they showed their face again. At least she hoped so, the longer she went without seeing them, the better. But regardless, she hurried up, asking a few people if there was a watchmaker in town. The first few people didn't have any clue, but finally, she asked the right person, who knew of a small watchmaker's shop out of the way, several roads down and buried between two much larger buildings. Tamao nodded as she
(44 of ???)

memorized the directions and set off. Even with directions, it still took Tamao a fair bit of time before she managed to find the small shop, which was hidden as well as if it'd been under the effect of a Genjutsu. She wouldn't have ever seen it if she wasn't looking specifically for it. Approaching it, she put her hand on the knob, twisted it slowly, and stepped inside. It was a small store, but the ticking from all of the different clocks and watches filled the air, surrounding her with it's cacaphonous din. She blinked in puzzlement a few times, wondering
(45 of ???)

how someone could stand to stay in such a noisy place every day. For that matter, she just realized she hadn't heard the ticking before she entered the store. Even when the door was opened, it'd been silent until she actually entered. Something was a bit off about this store, she should leave. But before she could, she heard someone cough slightly further back in the store. Turning her head, she could see someone moving behind a large desk. Moving closer in spite of herself, she soon saw who'd made the sound. There was an elderly man hunched over,
(46 of ???)

a magnifying scope held against one eye as he worked on the innards of a watch, his dexterous hands manipulating the tiny gears ever so slightly. She was about to ask him if she could have a moment of time, when she realized, as intricate as this work was, she probably shouldn't bother him right now. So instead she made herself a little more comfortable, finding a chair and taking a seat while she waited. Looking around, she realized the ticking didn't seem as loud as it had before, she must already be getting used to it. Maybe it wasn't that bad after all? She turned
(47 of ???)

herself in the chair slightly, taking a closer look at some of the clocks around her. They really were pretty impressive, now that she took a closer look. She'd have to come back some time in the future, maybe pick one up if she found a place to stay at for longer than an extended vacation. She was so focused on admiring the different clocks, she nearly jumped out of her seat when a soft voice asked her if she'd care for some tea. Whirling around, she looked at the one who'd spoken. They were young, a young boy. He stood shorter than her, and
(48 of ???)

was dressed very sharply, in a blue outfit that looked slightly baggy, in a fashionable way. If she remembered, that was something called the 'Little Lord' style? It had a slightly ruffled lace with a ribbon at his neck, and there was a small hat perched on his head. His skin was rather pale, and he had dark reddish-brown hair. A very striking detail was his heterochromatic eyes, one had a red iris, the other was green. He was holding a small sterling silver tray with a few ornate teacups perched upside down on it, along with a teapot. Tamao caught
(49 of ???)

herself a moment later, and nodded, accepting a teacup on a plate as the youth filled it with what smelled like very well-made tea. She murmured her thanks, and watched the youth approach the old man. He didn't bother the old man, just poured a cup for him, setting it within easy reach of the old man, before walking back into the back of the store. Tamao watched him go, wondering if he was the old man's son, or maybe even grandson? She sipped at the tea, finding it positively wonderful, at the right temperature and everything, sighing with simple enjoyment.
