Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Fine by me. ^_^)

Mayumi peeked from under her blinker to look at her food. It was very well-prepared and it smelled appetizing. Taking the salad first, she began to eat, yet she did it slowly as she savored the taste.

"First of all," she began after swallowing a mouthful, "we should probably focus you guys on chakra conservation and concentration. After all, the longer it takes for you to run out of chakra, the longer you can be in battle."

She took another bite of the salad and put it down. Her sights were then set on starting on the chicken dish that looked mouth-watering.

(Lucky...)

Isaaku raised an eyebrow at the burst of speed. But he wasn't worried, why should he be? He hopped once and then proceeded at maximum speed. He was totally invisible to the naked eye, but he was still well aware. He slowed very little to match Batafurai's pace and smiled to her. "Let's wrap it up, shall we?" He figured his words would be lost in the wind and the distance that was covered in such little time. He remained steady and went back to max.

Batafurai smiled sweetly at her teammate. "Sure, it should be close to lunch anyway," She commented, increasing her speed a little under her max to catch up with Isaaku. Obviously she had trained very hard with classmates back in the Cloud Village to be able to hear things that would usually be thrown away by speed or wind. Putting her foot down, she stopped running automatically and folded her arms and the electricity pulsating through the soles of her feet went back to normal.

((Goodluck with your exams, Gaen!
I hope you do well.))

Oooooh ~ If Kinu would have said it out loud it would have sounded somewhat like a pleased purr, but as a thought it indicated that the book now looked even more interesting in her eyes. However the boys ridiculous strenght made her realize very quickly that these were not the kind of punches you should try to block. Smooth way of giving me a warning though, I give him that. Very fair of him. Wonder how accurately he can controll that strenght though.

The new information about this Hulk like teammate forced Kinu to rethink her approach. He said senbon needles wouldn't do much good, but from experience she knew the needles had much more potential than most people would think. After all, she had worked with them her whole life. But why not leave the surprises for later? And if the possibility existed that her main tools really were useless against this guy, why bother waste energy with them then?

While jumping to the right to avoid the kick Kinu twisted her body in mid-air, so that Roque wouldn't have a chance to get behind her. At the same time as she moved away, she made a sweeping motion with her left hand towards, not the attacking foot, but the other foot, which would with his movement path inevitably follow the last foot in a similar kind of arch. If you looked carefully at her hand, you could see a faint blue glow. You as flexible as you are strong?

((Unfortunately Kinu is quite bad at kicking a**, she's a pretty damn poor excuse of a ninja xD But let's leave that for later, shall we? Best luck with the exams though!))

The twins ate very slowly, their manners impeccable. It was a sort of involuntary reflex to eat like gentlemen when in the presence of company, but they were listening intently in their silence. They thought Mayumi's plans, although sublimely simple, had a merit to them. They looked over to their comrades and tried to assess battle strengths. Obviously accuracy was one thing with Mayumi. Shinji seemed to have a talent for tai, and he could definitely be the counterbalance to their extreme genjutsu. Though these were basic things they had already demonstrated, the twins were trying to learn everythin about their teammates in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Of course, in the event of needed battle strategies, there is always the False World technique, which Mayumi-sensei already has experienced. Unfortunately, we will need to expand our jutsu repitoire if we are to defeat people of your caliber, used to fighting in blindness. Most of our jutsu, save Illusory World and Labyrinthine Hell which has auditory and chakra sense properties, are based on visual stimuli. So, that is one weakness we have assessed about ourseves. What would you suggest Mayumi-sensei?"

The twins pondered that for one moment. To 'rob' someone of their senses would require advanced genjutsu, far beyond their current level despite their genetic advantages. They knew of a few jutsu that they had been meaning to try and learn, but they were already pretty masterful with the jutsu they possessed, so they figured they better find another way to do as she requested.

"Would anyone care for dessert?" The twins were very gracious hosts, known for being polite and well-mannered even in the business dealings they had taken limited part in. Two of their cousins handled the business end of the Clan. It was up to them to rebuild the ninja end of the clan.
