Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Don't forget ya'll, we are on a roof ready to be demolished.))

As Sorain flipped back, Sai turned and half rolled, half sprung away causing his body to turn horizontally for a moment. With his fingers grazing across the rough workings of the roof to control his path and speed, the man pushed off and returned to his feet in a small crouch. His position was overly laxed as though he took none of the three serious in any sense. The only sense of actual combat readiness was the fact that his eyes were lit with the Mangekyou Sharingan, something that he rarely used unless he felt the challenge or was hoping to learn a new trick or two from his opponent. However at the moment, he was thinking more of just copying and ******** around with them all until the battle was over.

Gritting his teeth, Sai prepared his body to attempt a direct block of the attack by using Sorain's own attack against him, but a grin flickered upon his features as the two other Kages that were in line of fire acted before him. The first, Sentai, bound Sorain with metal bindings while the second, Metsuki, literally wrestled the force of the attack into the roof causing the entire building to shake and shamble. Fine cracks stretching out all along the roof's surface. "I'd prefer to fall down... If you don't mind~ You seem to have your hands full anyways, buddy boy" Sai chimed out to his brother.

With both hands pressed against the roof top and a blast of wind violently charging around his body, Sai rotated a quick 360 in his crouch. Like a blade, his finger sliced through the cement of the roof and like a child's toy, the small piece of the roof spun around and instead of standing on the roof, Sai was now standing on the ceiling of the top floor of the building. Grinning, the man kicked of and flipped in the air so to land perfectly on the inside of the top floor.














Sai's head tilted back and his eyes watched the ceiling with a smug look as the sound of the static passed over him, the building continue to shake until Metsuki had finish dispensing the electricity. It was comical at very least, or at least to him, that of all people, Sorain was being nullified. Maybe that runt Metsuki wasn't as weak as he seemed to be. Not everyone could just do that to Sorain, even if he was holding back tremendously.

Shrugging, Sai whipped off a bit of the ash that had collected on his clothes from dropping into the floor. The room he had come into was just like all the others, burnt away and destroyed, full of ash.

Sticking his hands into his pockets, Sai strode his way through the apartments, his eyes taking in all the left overs. The wires, pipes, all the inner workings of an apartment building. Debris of chests, beds, etc. With a lazy hand, Sai picked up a long, thing wire that was hanging from the wall and with a strong pull, ripped it out entirely from the wall. Humming, he rolled the wire up and continued to make his through the floor until he found himself at an open window, the only thing in sight was the building that the other kid was watching from. 'Hm... What to do, what to do? Should I.... terrorize him a bit? I think I should~' With a quiet chuckle, Sai launched himself from the window and into a lower level in the next building. His frame soon disappeared into the building.

Having fully blocked Sorain's attack Sentai stood a bit further back from the group after calling his metal back from his counter attack, allowing it to settle in various places surrounding his body. "Well then that went smoothly, although maybe Sorain was just testing the waters, or maybe he has gotten soft over the years." Sentai thought to himself as he sized up the battlefield finding Sai having retreated to a room within the building, and the Raikages fanboy was off bing loud.

"Well then I suppose I'll take some initiative this time around and go on the offensive against these guys." Sentai said to himself as he focused chakra within his feet and prepared for an attack that was more show than anything. With a sudden burst of chakra Sentai leaped high up into the air, dragging his naginata out of the ground as he rose and quickly slung it across his back. Once Sentai stopped ascending he seemed to hover for a moment as he prepared a string of hand seals to prepare his attack. Brining his fingers to his mouth Sentai used them to direct his attack, taking aim at the Raikage with this attack. With no clear warning Sentai dropped his cigarette and released a formidable fireball from his mouth sending the attack straight at the Raikage and even then the attack was sure to spread embers across the roof of the building which would most likely fizzle out in a matter of seconds.

Hatsuma had observed the situation in its entirety not bothering to comment on anything as her stoic expression had shown no signs of alarm as the two girls went into a lip lock. Though Hatsuma was surprised at the suddenness of the event she wasn't surprised that something like this might happen... paying attention to the way Yua reacted in the bath house gave plenty of hints and the fact Oasis often seemed oblivious made it an easy situation to arise between the two, all it would require is some simple mind alteration either through chemical or other means and things would be bound to happen. Hatsuma pushed that aside when Yua mentioned the free meal they would be getting and finally spoke. "so you've learned to be careful toying with ninja tags? result are always... unexpected... anyways it may be early to meet the boy from the bath house but it can't hurt to get there early..." she stated calmly looking over in the general direction of the meeting place before back to the two. "we can pick up festival food while we wait, taiyaki is a pleasurable taste after all..." Hatsuma stated thinking back to the little pastry like fish she had eaten before.

Hmm.... The Mizukage’s attack just then... were those chakra formed claws?! .....I don’t like the feeling I have about him... I best keep an eye out for him. As well as the Tsuchikage’s metal Bending it’s quite powerful and fast as well..... I wonder how I’m going to manage myself between all three....Wait... the...Where did Sai..where....did he go to... Suddenly snapping back to reality he watched as the Tsuchikage took lead and it seemed he had his eyes Metsuki. Metsuki didn’t know his intentions until it was clear the path in which his attack took was aimed directly towards him, the Raikage. Once more he took in a deep breath and expelled it firmly looking up as the great fire ball was nearing. ”Yo... Bro...I think you just broke the door ya know!? What’s with the sudden change of heart, I thought we were apart of somethin good. could you at least give me a moment to think, Ah! I’ll kink your attack with Static!” With that Metsuki pulled back his arms and quickly formed a line of Hand seals thus completing a jutsu as it set in.

The clouds above rumbled in sequence just before striking down, Metsuki was trying to distinguish the ball of flames with that of lightning. ”Look at it go! you’re a bit too slow for my roll ya’know! Thunda!” he rapped along as he watched the flash of entertainment begin.

"Let us make our way then to the food stands and then over to the bath house..." Hatsuma stated reiterating the plan that was laid out before. Hatsuma took the lead as they headed towards the food stalls. After a few moments of walking they had made there way there. most people weren't in the streets at this time, likely they were placing bets on the remaining exam takers or maybe they were getting to the location of the final part of the exam early to get a good seat... regardless of why, they were certainly not in the way of Hatsuma and her taiyaki. Hatsuma spotted the stall that had the sign 'Taiyaki' above it and hastily made her way towards it.

"ah back for more are ya?" The familiar vendor exclaimed with a cheerful wave. " Ain't nothin' better then returning customers, what's your order little lady?" he question as he finished a fresh batch of the little fish pastries and bagged them into the familiar little paper bags.

"I would like three bags please, the price is fifteen Ryo correct?" Hatsuma stated already knowing the answer as she pulled out fifteen ryo and awaited the three paper bags of taiyaki and exchanged them. "thank you" Hatsuma stated taking the bags and handing the man the ryo required. he gave a jovial wave goodbye as Hatsuma headed over to a bench by the bath house they would meet at, she got a bag for both Yua and Oasis and would give them theirs when they got here.

Oasis cheered what a great plan, tasty food and a toasty warm bath. How excellent. Oasis followed after Hatsuma with a rather wandering gait as she stopped at a few stalls and picked up some standard fair kebabs and the like with pieces of pork or chicken on them with other interesting vegetables and peppers and such. Some savory food, always good before a bath. She paused as she picked up a kebab which had some exceptional peppers on them. She turned and handed a lesser spicy one over to Yua "here try that, I love spicy food!" she chimes before chomping an obviously spicy pepper off the end of the kebab. She grinned brightly as she chewed on the delicious bit. She finally came across the dango stall which was rather near to the taiyaki one. She picked out six big dangos and then proceeded over to Hatsuma. She held out two dango for Hatsuma to take, she had no idea on her friends metabolism, Oasis herself could eat a great amount of food. So she would offer all sorts of things that she had gathered on her way to the seat where Hatsuma was.

Yua smirked following Oasis, she was surprised when she was handed a kabob, she watched Oasis chomp down on hers and smiled and bite into her own following Oasis, it was good a bit spicy but very good, she noticed Hatsuma had boughten a lot of food and so had Oasis, she wondered if the girls just ate a lot or if they where sharing.

Yua decided it was best to get a little food for herself in case th others where actually that hungry, Yua look around the stalls until she spotted what she wanted, she skipped up and order one of what she wanted, when the man handed it to her, her eyes lite up as she walked happily back to Oasis and Hatsuma and sat next to them and smiled. Yua was so happy to have a chocolate Banana. It was her favorite festival food and they where so cute because they made little faces on them using candy.
