Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zin slowly began to change and re-configure the way of his jaw a little. Adding chakra into the bone and muscles in-between his jaw, Zin started to part to the jaw bones and expand the muscle. Utilizing a different method that his serpent counter parts when it comes to opening their mouth's to an irregular level.

Hitan and Nagi hissed softly, watching their master changing his physical nature right before their eyes. Though when they saw their master's jaw start to sag their heads raised simultaneously to this mutation. Even more so when Zin released the tension in-between his jaw bone to bring about a large saggy jaw that laid at his chest. When they looked into their master's eyes, once more did they catch fear as nothing but a blank look was shown; even more so when Zin's eyes revealed nothing more than simple eye balls within an empty skull.

Nagi and Hitan raised their heads further and hissed to Zin. Master!!!!! But despite their more fearful hisses not a word was spoken from Zin. Just a horrible mutated corpse of the great master they looked so proudly up to. Though they jumped a little as Zin's head slowly crooked up to the roof and the sound of gurgling was heard from out the throat. Nagi and Hitan slitered from their comfortable little custom beds and came to their limp masters feet; wondering what he had done to himself.

And that would be when a black like shadow would start to emerge from out of the old corpse. Like worms had festered in the old body, Zin's little Naga body wiggled violently. A violent hissing sound was heard from Zin's throat but from how the sound was being emitted they could tell that it truly wasn't from their master; but rather like something else was within him.

In which, Zin's little puppets were quite correct. Out from the throat of the corpse came out Zin. Clothing like the one he wore was still on, as well as, the Naga have a newer and healthy look. Standing out of his old corpse like an annoy coat that would doesn't come off,"Look at me now... Nagi... Hitan..." Zin hissed to the serpents as he looked down at his friend's. His slitted eyes looked down to the ones like his own,"No longer does Konoha have it's bloody bonds on me! I am free to do my father's bidding! Those that oppose me shall fall and be crushed under the pressure of my coils. But first.." Zin looked over to the Hokage tower and gave a violent hiss with his bared fangs," We strike..." The child glared as it was time to obtain what was rightfully his.

Zin smiled as he entered the vacant training grounds. Glad to have his own privacy away from the others as he begins to train. Needing to become much stronger if he wishes to gain the respect he so duly deserves. Walking towards his usual spot at the far edge of the training grounds the child took it upon himself to ensure his training was secluded, just in case some nuisance of life decided to intrude on his training session, as he clasped his hands together. In a blur of hand seals, as if the child had worked over the technique many times before, Zin hissed,"Tsuchi Bushin no Jutsu."And with that, from the muddied bank, came a clone of the serpent prince. Looking to Nagi and Hitan, they hissed and slithered off Zin's shoulders knowing that it was once more time to start their training sessions. Looking to his clone Zin started to prowl it lightly before speaking,"I want you to attack me with all that you have. Utilize every ounce of chakra that I have given to you and attempt to strike me. Ultimately you will perish and return to the earth. For the jutsu I will utilize is quite powerful... but fear not. You are doing this for the good of me." He said with a playful yet ever so sinister smile as his hands clasped together once more,"Tessayose no Jutsu.." And with that, instead of aiming it towards a particular area, Zin simply had the chains spring up from the ground in front of him. Grabbing two of the thick yet still normal chains, the child pried them from the earth as he let the other three simply lay there for the time being.

Pulling up his sleeves to reveal his one-hundred pounded chakra weights, Zin wrapped the chains around his forearm and arms yet tied it up in such a manner that a simple pulling of one of the links would unravel the chains. Nodding to this, Zin looked to his clone as he hissed,"Are you prepared?"He asked softly before smirking as the clone launched at him immediately,"Very good..."

Immediately as the clone came forth Zin started to spar with his clone. The Chinese style of fighting prominent in both of them, as the Naga children utilized only small variants of the other styles that were more known during this era of the Shinobi World. The true Zin utilizing a Wushu and a Mixture of Northern Shaolin type method in where he did more acrobatic like techniques to dodge and strike his clone who was utilizing the last Taijutsu he utilized; Snake Kung Fu. Strikes were given and returned, counters and flipping evasive actions occurred until Zin ultimately started to make the final moves. As his clone made the fatal mistake of trying to throw a slugger punch when in such close combat, and even more so coming out of his form for power, the child did a small duck and weave underneath the arm. Keeping skin tight close to his clone as his hand struck out,"Asshou Palm!!!" He hissed venomously as his clone started to be launched backwards because of the crushing weight the child implied upon his chest but the deviant child wasn't finished. Grabbing his clones arms as his buckled chest threw them out, Zin jumped up with both feet which he planted firmly into the crevice of his clones caved in chest and tilted back. This, in Northern Shaolin is known as the monkey flip but Zin was going to utilize it in a different method. Since he hadn't learned Kage Buyou, Zin would utilize the skills he already has to make up for that absence of technique.

Once ZIn had rolled onto his back the child launched his clone up as if it were some sort of weight ball. Using those powerful muscles in his legs to launch him up into the sky where he'd await his final destination. Utilizing the momentum of the flip, Zin simply rolled back onto his feet and ended up in a kneeled position as he flared his chakra to very portion of his body then launching it up to his brain. Nearly activating his First Gate as the child vanished from his spot confusing the clone at this speed the child was possessing. Upon appearing behind the clone Zin had already unraveled the chains during his 'teleportation', or rather just a high enough boost of speed in where the naked eye and mind would believe the boy could teleport, as he slung the chains around himself and the clone trapping it within the thick metal.Memories of his 'sensei' utilizing this very same jutsu on himself plagued his mind and irritated the child to an unbelievable height which, unfortunately for his clone, was starting to show within the technique as Zin whipped his body violently in one direction to start the spin. As they descended, the technique would look nearly like a Inuzuka Clan member utilizing their infamous Gatsuga technique, before Zin unraveled the chains from his forearms as to leave the clone trapped and spinning down erratically to his demise. As Zin landed, a quite powerful collision on the ground occurred as the child hissed in irritance. Now knowing how his sensei utilized that dreadful technique on him and bared his fangs angrily at the clone who was now nothing but mush on the ground. "That jutsu will be my favorite I think."Zin hissed to his serpents who watched from afar, " It will help me show others my pain... and see if they can carry the burden." He hissed, glaring at the now clearing debris before turning to Nagi who lifted his head at his master's acknowledgement,"What should I start on now Nagi-san..."He asked before wobbling a little and feeling a heavy weight on his being. As if air had been knocked out of him while simultaneously halving his chakra. It seems that bloody technique takes a but load of chakra from me. Hmph... This is most unfortunate. I will have to make note of this technique's punishment for it's utilization. He thought to himself as Nagi tried to evaluate what his mastered needed to start learning to ready himself for what is to come.

Nagi and Hitan turned their heads immediately as the serpents caught wind of someone entering their master's domain. Nagi's spear head raised up as the silvery serpent, about the size of a mini-boa, let out a venomous warning hiss while Hitan who was a little smaller from Nagi and colored black bobbed his diamond shaped head in a taunting manner. As if somewhat daring the other to take more steps towards Zin.

The child looked down to his snakes, giving a soft his and and a shake of his head as the two 'pets' retracted their fangs but kept their deadly lock upon the red headed one. The pale child turned around and gave a small silent treatment to the one who so boldly approached him. Usually, people stray away from Zin due to the murderous intent he had constantly flaring out. Unlike his days as a Genin, Zin didn't hide his hate for the mortals that continually surrounded him. But... in due time... they all will suffer once his abilities meet up to goals and ambitions he has for himself.

Tilting his head a little, Zin didn't to his unfortunate discovery, see much evil in the much older young man. He had hoped to bring about and find some of the shadow's that linger within Konoha to bring the chaos he wished to bring about within the Shinobi Nations. This nearly made Zin ignore the boy until his mind thought about something else... If he taught the child and the Hokage finally comes to see the trashed tower, then he could utilize teaching this red-headed Genin as his alibi. "Hmm.... Sure I suppose. Although I do not train nicely. If you are looking for an easy training session I would ask you to leave. I truly dislike anyone that likes taking the easy route." The child said softly as his slitted eyes locked onto the others. Zin's... usual creepiness started to breach the waters as the child kept an unblinking and rather dark stare towards the other. And with how his jet black hair ran down from his head and lightly having a couple of strands over his eyes, it gave those slitted orbs quite a menacing glow. It was rather a test... To see if this one truly was worth his time or simply a ninja that liked taking the easy route; in which he'd probably murder then and there. He indeed needed some corpses to test some of his medicine on.

Zin smirked a little as his face softened up a little. Though the child's eyes didn't blink, the venom within his stare definitely decreased. "I see... That is what I hoped to hear from you." The Naga prince said softly as he finally blinked and faced the young man directly. Seeing that their master's intent to murder intent had decreased, they lowered their heads and coiled up. Though, still in a defensive position, the hostility from the two definitely decreased.

Zin's eyes snapped down when he saw something move at the bottom of the pink headed one's feet. Though Zin's eyes didn't falter from the cold stare that demanded respect, if this moment was within cartoon, the child would possibly have quite a bit sweat drop at drooping from the back of his head. What... the.. hell?! Zin thought to himself but didn't let his thoughts come to surface. Looking back at the young man, Zin took note of the hardship his body has already when through. That would be indeed beneficial if he wished to survive the training of the Naga Prince. Nodding as if making a mental note... Zin decided to make a little mental note of the child before speaking," The Style I will be teaching you is the Konoha Taijutsu... The Strong Fist. It is unlike any other..." Zin started as he kneeled down and hissed to Nagi and Hitan. The serpents slithered over to their master and moved to their usual spots upon Zin's shoulders. Despite how rather big the two were compared to the child, Zin didn't seem very much affected by their added weight. "The very beginning of the training is usually the hardest." The child started to walk forwards, passing Natsu but making it in a manner that he wished for the other to follow him as Zin continued to speak," But before we train... I will have to get you something beneficial to the 'Strong Fist Style.' " Zin said before stopping and turning his head to looking over his shoulder at the other," But before I do... I have one request from you." The child said softly. His slitted hues once more locked onto the Natsu's own but this time they tried to pierce deep into the other's soul."If I teach you the ways to become strong and gain power. All I request... is your undying loyalty to me. Nothing too big... But basically... whatever I tell you to do... you do it without question. And for that... I will give you protection and power." Zin kept his lock on the other as he awaited to see any change in his face," Do we come to an agreement?" He asked softly; testing to see if he could gain at least one loyal recruit within this irritable village. For what Zin had planned... he'd show how one is suppose to be feared in this world!

Zin didn't answer when he said he was being loyal. As if like an animal, the child wasn't truly listening to his words but trying to decipher what the emotions were telling him. If he noticed if the faintest amount of deceit the child would strike the boy down. He was not going to follow his father's footsteps completely. As brilliant of a man that he was, to hold your hopes one a single child was pitiful... in fact it disgusted Zin quite a bit when he thought about it. He was a Tojiro for crying out loud!

The Demi child shook his head before looking at Natsu in a softer expression." Good. I will assure you... The day that you have just said those words, is the day that you become something this nation will fear." The child said softly as the venomous glare was dismissed, along with his malicious contorted face, and was replaced with a rather innocent and more childish look. Actually smiling, quite like a child would who had not a care in the world," I am Zin 'Tojiro' Naga. It is a pleasure to meet you and to be your master. Your name, if you will before we continue." Zin asked as tilted his head slowly as he watched that... cat...thing... animal... creature of the feline's make a jump that usually Zin would read in the Shinobi comics. That cat... disturbs me.. He thought to himself, head still tilted in which rather innocently, as did Nagi and Hitan. All having their heads tilted to one side at watching this... animal type thing produce feats of abnormality. But... hey... what was he to say what was weird.

After the introductions are done, Zin would continue," You will receive your first gift Natsu-san. This gift, will be with you until you die as it is quite beneficial in the way of the 'Strong Fist.' Meet me on the Academy Roof and lock the door behind you. I shall meet you in a minute." The Naga prince said brightly, completely from the cold and dark demeanor that he previously gave Natsu, as he felt he had accomplished at least one goal. Now, after ensuring that Natsu indeed would be trust worthy to be one of his strongest right hand men, the child would have to recruit at least two more ninja from Konoha. Bringing them in to the darkness of chaos and power which will soon be what brings all nations to a kneel.

[Exit to Konoha Main Streets]

Hiniko looked around the training grounds. She had rested for far to long, and now she needed to get to work. She may have failed the Chuunin exams last time, but she would Not fail next time. She was searching for someone in particular. Someone that she hadn't seen in a very long time. She wandered how he was.

She remembered during the exams, he helped her, he said he had a way to make her stronger, well now she was ready. She was tired of holding back. At any rate, she had no interests in the others here. Her "brother" wasn't there, she would simply look somewhere else.

(exit to konoha main streets.)

It had been some time since he had been dismissed by that kunoichi. Satsu had been pretty much camping out at the training grounds. He had searched everywhere, but he had been unable to find an instructor to teach him. He had just finished his breakfast when a shinobi appeared. "Can I help you?" Satsu asked, juices from his breakfast running down his face.

"All ninja are to report to the Hokage's office, immediately." The shinobi said before disappearing in a swirl of leaves. "Well that was rather rude. However, I guess I should report in." Satsuzame muttered as he reached his hands into the nearby lake. Splashing some water on his face, he made himself look a bit more respectable before heading towards the exit. "Wonder what's so important that we're all required."
