Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before Masunaga could even shout out anything else to Tsutae, he was suddenly rushed by his student, who charged him at top speed, driving her knee into his gut without warning. Rolling with the blow, Masunaga rolled on the ground and sprang onto his feet using his hands, a fair distance back from where he had been standing a moment before.

"Lucky hit," he snarled, but could say nothing more as Tsutae charged him again. This time, however, he was ready for her. Tsutae leapt into the air and forced her momentum and chakra into a headkick, only to have it slice through thin air.

Masunaga's clone vanished, and Masunaga himself appeared behind Tsutae, to kick her between the shoulder blades and send her crashing into the ground.

[...And neither can exist without the other...]

Jono looked at her slowly as he scratched his head and he stepped out on to the water. Jono stared at her slowly and he walked across reading his book.

"See for most nins circulating there chakra is pretty simple. So walking on Water is pretty simple at times. But see the object is to keep circulating your chakra while you are walking on the water keeping an even balance on the water and with yourself. For some reason I doubt you can do both of these at the same time. IF you can't you will fall in the hot spring water and burn yourself so badly nobody will want to see you in a bikini."

Jono said as he sighed.

"So come on and start walking on Water. If you can master this then Walking up trees will be easy."

Masunaga grit his teeth and clenched his fists as he realized his mistake. He had gotten careless. That, and Tsutae was better than he had given her credit for. Now things would be quite difficult indeed.

Giving him no time to ponder this fact, Tsutae immediately rushed out of the woods to attack him. Masunaga expertly raised his hands to block every blow, easily deflecting Tsutae's practiced routine of punches and kicks. This was unlike her; Tsutae never attacked like this except in training, for her training required her to learn hand-to-hand combat. In fact, this was the very grove in which she had learned most of her skills.

Wait...

With a shouted curse, Masunaga realized another mistake. Turning his back on Tsutae's attack and allowing her illusory, but still painful punches to pound into his back, he tried to see through the memory of training to discern Tsutae's true angle of attack.

The illusion shattered as Tsutae lost concentration in her rush. A thir shuriken embedded itself in the ground at Masunaga's feet as Tsutae sprinted from the bushes to attempt to sweep Masunaga's feet.

Masunaga leapt in the air, and landed behind Tsutae.

Hiro steps into the Hidden Moon academy only to find a note on his classroom door to head to the Shuriken range. Hiro sighs softly and begins his walk to the range in the back of the school where he finds his class, mostly healthy children from diffeerent clan's not many Gekkou at all. He coughes and clears his throat as he walks to the instructor, 'Gekkou Hiro reporting." He coughs again as the instructor looks down at him, "Your late...oh Well you'll go next at throwing Shuriken..or Kunia, which ever you prefer." Hiro nods and steps back allow the student already up to practice his throws.


The intructor juts down a grade and locks back, 'Gekkou Hiro...Your up." Hiro walks towards the line in the range that one isn't allowed to cross while throwing the kunai/shuriken. The instuctor presses a button on his watch, "Begin..." At this Hiro draws several kunai with one hand and shuriken with the other, which he begins to throw down rnage every one pegging a red spot on the dummy be in the the head, lungs or heart. Hiro then coughes and takes a few kunai and tosses them down range, these as well land perfect in their marks head, lungs, and heart. The instructor stops his watch and juts down a score, "Gekkou Hiro, collect your kunai and shuriken and steps back for the next student."

Agian after the exam the students where moveed to a secondarea of the training grounds. This new area was a track that incircled the entire acadamey along with a building on the edge of the track. The building was large engough for two full classes to get in but for Hiro's half empty class it was more than enough. The instructor shows the class inside, once in everyone notices the walls are lined with weights and enough equipment to train every muscule in ones body> The instructor clears his throat and looks over the class, "OK..Now you will work out for 30 minutes...I suggest working at what your best at...GO!" He pushes the button on the clock as the class breaks up into groups. Hiro stands alone as he works his muscules in his arms a bit more, knowing that if he gets too big his moves will lack grace.


Other people work on speed or strenght was there nothing for the grace he sought? Gore than likely not. He then begins to on a way to strenghten his back muscules as well as his arms. The instructor watches Hiro but luckly this isn't a test to be graded on this is training to better the students bodies. Still Hiro doesn't do much afriad to lose the grace his clan is based on. Again only working out slightly the muscules in his legs, back and arms. Too much of this exercise could wear hims down where he would need to rest and he personally doesn't like the feeling of being apsolutely powerless, that just happens to be the side effect of the curse his clan bares.


Hiro stops working out around ten minutes before he was spose to, but he does need to rest, other wise the consiquences could be dire for him, espeally seeing as this intructor seems a bit malice towards everone right now. The intructor notices Hiro stop and growls softly to himself, thinking what a lazy bunch of ninja. It certainly does some that the instructor dislikes all the cadets in his class, maybe thats why his class is only half filled. The intructor clears his throat, "Outside...Now!" The whole class runs out followed by Hiro who choose to walk then the instructor. Now if ever the instructor looks pissed, "Your all lazy! Do you really want to be ninja...I see you all dieing in battle doue to you being lazy." He then looks to Hiro, 'And you...are the worst one here. You have a sence of ...arragance, quiet, and not really seeming to care about your orders..." Hiro coughes and looks at the instructor, 'Finished?...I'm a gekkou...unlike the rest of the clans here, mine has scraficed our wellbeings for eternity, so you would not die....i seem unethosed is because I'm ill...like the rest of my clan...I need rest to stay in top shape, unlike these who can work 24 hours a day..." he coughes again and turns his back to the man.
