Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she came closer to Rei again, the effects of her sexual techniques were becoming more apparent as her cheeks were turning pink in a blush the more she looked at Rei and her heart rate was increasing slowly as she clutched Shanghai closer to her chest. She didn't like it one bit as she tried to keep a clear head as she was given the answer she had wanted. Pausing, she blinked a few times and thought back to how Rei had pulled the crowd away from being in the immediate range of that black haired woman. So she really was trying to help, even if it seemed less obvious at first glance. Of course as Rei continued to speak, she mentioned bedding the other woman and Alice's cheeks turned a darker shade as she looked down. She wasn't exactly very experienced in the world of sex or relationships, and the thought of Rei having done that to the Akatsuki woman made her cheeks turn redder as she shook her head. She looked back up as the other girl knocked on a wooden door and she looked around. She was about to ask where they were when she was asked for her own name, her clan name being mentioned without her having said a word on the matter. Her eyes widened a little in surprise as she looked at Rei. "My name is Alice...but how did you know my clan name?" She blinked curiously. "I mean it's not like my village gets a lot of visitors..." She mentioned, referring to how the Suna wasn't exactly a tourist hot spot or anything like that.

Bryce who finally mastered ( well, not really) Chidori, went up to the training grounds for yet again. So, yeah, he would do nothing other than train today either. I should start his training now. Okay. Bryce was walking around in the library when a scroll fell down from a high shelf. He picked it up and opened it. " Grand Fireball Technique " ,is written on it. It's components consists of the description about the technique itself, the hand seals needed, amount of chakra, range, supposedly size, and damage it would give to the opponent. He placed the scroll on a table, along with other 3 books. He first returned the books he borrowed the day before. And went back to the table with the scroll, took all on it, went to the counter, and borrowed it, then left. He went inside his house and started doing another set of research. It took 5 hours before he finally knew how to execute the jutsu and control its aim and size. He placed all of the books and scrolls in his bag and left for the training grounds. After entering the grounds, he threw his bag away . He went for a bit to get some wood from the forest near. After half an hour, he returned, dragging 2 trees. He placed the trees on opposite sides with medium sized rocks as support. He took a couple of steps back and placed his headphones on. He took a deep breath and exhaled all of his worries. " Now then. Practice number 1. " he mumbled under his breath. Then, he did the required hand seals and inhaled a lot of air. He exhaled it and a fireball came out of his mouth, though not big. He continued to exhale as the fire slowly grew and grew. Then, the fireball flew across the horizon and directly hit the tree on the left. Smoke filled the surroundings, and as it faded away, the tree that was hit had a medium sized hole in the middle. That was the only one that was damaged. " Kuh. That was it?! That big fireball just made a hole in the middle?! Seriously?! " he yelled in annoyance. I mean, who wouldn't? That was a good size for a fireball, and when you thought it would completely burn that tree you've been targeting, it just left a hole in the middle. And the rest are unscratched. Back to the training montage. Bryce went up to the tree and punched it. It was quite disturbing ,you know. He went back to where he released the jutsu and did the same thing over again. He did the necessary hand seals once more and inhaled a looot of air. He exhaled and his breath turned into fire. It became composed and gathered in the air like a ball. Bryce knew this might be correct now. He continued to exhale until the fireball moved and flew to the tree with the hole in the middle. The fireball swiftly went to the tree , and smoke was seen around the surrounding once again. This time, Bryce smiled, for what he saw was the tree, completely engulfed with fire. He went over the tree and went around it. Checking if he was successful this time. He ran around with glee, and did the jutsu for one last time. He made the fireball hit the other tree that was on the other side. This time, he threw a couple of kunais and shurikens in it. When the fireball hit the tree, so was the kunais and shurikens. He knew it would be a great hidden attack for other ninjas who would attack him. He knew that was be an awesome jutsu if he would master it. As an Uchiha ninja, learning fire techniques is a must. He bears his awful past that made him stronger. He did the jutsu, the Grand Fireball Technique, once more on other things. After using up all of his chakra for just mastering this technique, well, he finally did, well not really since he's just a genin. Not to mention just 11 years old.So, yeah, he went home with...half burnt clothes. But of course he didn't let the fire get to his headphones. Its his bread and butter.

Walking down the road, carrying his bag, some scrolls, and a plastic of food, Bryce noticed a group of thugs, bullying, no, or should I say destroying an old man's shop. They kicked the poor merchant, as well as the items he was selling. Annoyed, he approached the group and poked the supposedly leader. He turned around , he was wearing a long black cloak, with red clouds, and the collar was up to the chin. You would first thought that it was the Akatsuki, but no. The cloaks are obviously a fake, the clouds clearly look as if it was just drawn and they weren't wearing black nail polishes. The impostor looked at Bryce, grinning evilly, with a high tone , bragging, and pointedly, he said to Bryce, " Hey! You're that blonde kid who beat up my brother! He got bruises all over him, you brat! You'll pay for what you did to him! " Bryce kept quiet, looking around. He went up to the old man and helped him get up. He picked up the still-usable-items and placed them to a near basket. " That kid, is an Akatsuki! Get away kid! He'll just........he'll just leave me alone when-when, when I pay him! " the old man quivered. Bryce smiled, he leaned to the old man's ear and whispered, " Sorry Ojii san, but, that kid there, is a fake. I'll gladly show you. I would make him pay for doing this to your store. Don't worry. " Bryce stood up, and looked at the impostor, pissed. The leader whistled, as the other members circled around the young genin, and simultaneously attack. Bryce let himself get hit, he gladly took the punches, the kicks and the jutsus. He sighed, after noticing that the attacks stopped. He looked at all of them, and glared, making them take a few steps back. He slowly walked up to one of them, and smiled. " Body Flicker. 1,000 Years of Pain. " he mumbled as he disappeared, and revealed himself just behind the person, and aggressively poked the rectum of the man, making him fly up high because of pain. You could hear the horrible screech for far away. Bryce stood up and faced the others, looking at each and every one of them; making a plan secretly in his mind. He chuckled, and started his comeback. He ran up to them,trapping their feet with the strings he always had. He laughed as he adjusted the headphones he deeply missed. He jumped and threw the guys, who were tied up, up in the air. He laughed and laughed and laughed as if he was an evil entity. It was showing. The rumored...' Little Blonde Devil '. Bryce made the bodies shift places, and kicked their right arms, one at a time in a fast speed. some of the men blocked it, while the others suffered the pain the genins' kick. Groans were also heard, as they persistently thought that the pain would lessen sooner or later. Bryce's eyes became red. He unconsciously activated his Sharingan. They looked at his eyes in awe and fear, as they knew they were gonna get hurt more. Then, Bryce flipped in mid air and hit their necks with his wrist to arm, it hurt more because of the heavy gauntlets he was wearing, and hit them one after the other. He was laughing evilly, scary it truly was. Falling, the thugs struggled , thinking for a chance to escape the tight strings. Bryce stared at then while falling, his eyes like big shining red dots, like an animal who is hungry, like the devil, slowly taking a life away. They were shrugging, shaking, for this kid was still a genin, yet holds such fearsome characteristics. It all ended when Bryce kicked all of them on the ground, and bones cracking broke the silence on the streets. They coughed up blood on Bryce, staining his clothes. The leader of the fake Akatsuki fell down on his knees, teary-eyed. He begged for mercy, but Bryce just punched him out unconscious. He took the money and items they stole from the old man, and gave it to him with a smile. The old man took the items and money swiftly, more scared than the genin than the ' Akatsukis'. He backed down, seeing the face and the clothes with blood, and ran down. Bryce sighed while wiping the blood off of his face. " It's been a while since I last went into the ' Little Blonde Devil' . I dunno if I would feel good, or scared. After all, it still is me. " he whispered to himself as he walked down to his home.

Alice looked at the woman curiously as she hinted at her skill in the area in intelligence gathering and such. She was a bit interesting in finding out just how she did that, but she did look to the side at the mention of carrying a doll with her. It was a bit of an obvious give away to anyone that knew her, but she didn't even wear regular Ninja attire, let alone her headband even as such things would only give herself away. In all honestly, she had everything that made the appearance of a normal civilian of any village. normal clothes, no headband, no obvious weapons on her person. Ordinarily she just looked like a girl that hadn't outgrown her dolls. Plus given the smaller size of Shanghai, even most ninja wouldn't expect it to be an Akasun puppet, though it was easily just as effective in combat as a regular sized puppet if not more thanks to her own special modifications. "I suppose you're right with that at least..." She would verbally admit to Rei, though still a bit curious to just as to what else she knew. Watching her knock on the door in front of them, she looked up at the sign and realized they had come to a tea house. Smiling a bit, she never did get to finish her last cup thanks to all the commotion caused by the Akatsuki just a short while ago. She was about to speak again when Rei suddenly spoke up again and saying she had meant sex, making Alice's cheeks turn a bit red again as she blinked a few times. "I...I see..." She muttered a bit, glancing to the side and suddenly feeling awkward again. Sex had to be one of the few things Alice didn't actually know everything about, at least practically and due to her generally loner type personality, she hadn't even been in a relationship before, let alone had sex. Well there was this time some guy in her class tried asking her out but she had turned him down rather casually. She had no interest in a relationship yet, or at least not with someone that couldn't actually impress her somehow, which generally meant being smarter than a rotting log. "So um...this teahouse....I've never been here before...is it good...?" She asked the other woman, trying to change the subject.

It wouldn't be too much longer after the second knock that the clear sound of the door being unlocked could be heard, though upon the opening of the door only stood a young looking girl. She looked to be perhaps no more than fourteen stood in the doorway to greet them with a sleepy face, "Hmmm? What is it?" To make matters worse the young girl had answered the door dressed solely in a mint green training bra and panties, with a white hoodie thrown over them. Worst yet was the hoodie was unzipped all the way to the base, showing off the young girl to those that walked by! "Rei-chan?" She mummers out as she wipes the rest of the sleep from her eyes, "Why did you wake me?" Her magenta eyes glance over to the girl standing behind her sister, and she perks up and offers a warm smile, "Oh..Hello there. I am Mika." Mika then walks out of the shop and offers up the puppet master a soft hug, "Come on in. I will put on some tea." She smiles to Rei and motions for the both of them to come in from the streets.

Joker looked and he slowly sighed. This was the great leaf that he attacked so many years ago. They didn't even send a group to attack him. He was able to destroy. This village was starting to be such a pain. He only placed his hands on building,. Using his alchemy they would deteriorate into nothing. Joker started to place small bombs inside the houses of other people. It would explode with Joker gas.

"Huh.. killing all these people. I have done it before.."

Joker looked and the house would explode in a green almost comical gas. The small people in leaf would come running out of the buildings. They would be smiling with big white toothy grins, but trying to pull off their own faces. Joker whistled at this.

"OH look at that.. they are smiling so big."

Somedays Joker thought about cutting off his own hand and replacing with a blade. That way he could stab people to death. However the benefits of the arm was so much more, and he sighed slowly. As he stuck his arm out and clothes lined a person as they came running through. He only turned his head a bit as he drug his hand through his green hair. His smile started to shine once again.

"what? Oh yeah.. the tower."

Joker pointed his hand towards the tower and the clouds would start to grow black. The ground would rumble like a hungry dragon. The sky would light up like a atomic bomb. However it all it was a large bolt of lightning from the clown prince himself. Each floor of the kage building destroyed. Each person in the tower.. would be dead. or at least maimed. Joker only smiled.

"I do hope that the Kage wasn't in there.. or this certainly would be boring. If she even comes out.."

Only time would tell if she would come out. However He would plant the Joker flag in Leaf as well.
