Iruka congratulated Mari on completing the Bunshin no jutsu. "Now let's move on to the next jutsu" He told her. "Bunshin no jutsu' Mari thought for a moment. "That's clones...right?" Iruka gave her a thumbs up. "That's right!" He said "Youve been studying" Mari folded her arms and waited for him to do the jutsu. He put his hands together in the appropriate hand sign and said "Bunshin no jutsu!" And three individual copies of himself appeared infront of her. They all looked exactly alike. "Now you go ahead and try" Iruka commanded her and vanished back to his original copy.

"Okay!" Mari said. She couldn't wait to learn this jutsu. She did what she saw Iruka sensei do and made a hand sign. "Bunshin no jutsu" She said and a cloud of smoke formed. In it's wake was a very disgruntled clone. Only one, not three. Mari sighed. This was going to be harder than she originally thought. "What did I do wrong, sensei?" She released the jutsu and her deformed clone disappeared. Iruka sensei held a finger infront of him like he often did while instructing. "You have to remember to distrubute your chakra evenly and efficiently. Otherwise you will wind up with a clone like that last one"

Mari nodded. "Okay I think I have it now." She said and made the hand sign once more. "Bunshin no jutsu" She said and a large cloud of smoke once more appeared. She waited for it to clear, hoping that she had finally done it right. through the smoke she could see three forms at least, but were they all similar to herself? They were. The smoke cleared and she could see they were all perfect copies. "Bunshin no jutsu complete" Iruka sensei winked at her. "The bunshin can be very useful in battle or chase. Such as if you want to evade someone or if..." She didnt really pay attention as Iruka sensei went on

Gothic: Try and extend your fifth lines from here out because you're stopping too short. Five complete lines is the minimum. Meaning they come at least close to touching the end of the text bubble.

Haylo Inuzuka "W-w-w-wow. This place is huge. Tyke... I-I think I'm out of my league." "Don't tell me you're nervous. We're already here." "B-b-but I have the feeling something bad is gonna happen." "Just come on." said a voice as a dog runs towards the Konoha Ninja Academy. "W-w-wait for me!" exclaims a young girl running after the dog. Finally making it into the building the dog is no where to be found. "Tyke... Tyke where are you? I'm s-s-scared." "You're such a sissy Haylo. I'm over here." replied the voice from before as Haylo walked over to a room labeled, 'Training Hall'. She quickly rushed into the room and looked around a bit. "Tyke! There you are! Here boy!" exclaims Haylo as Tyke quickly rushes over. "You must be new here." said a womans voice as Haylo looked up to see a strange looking woman.

"Huh? Uh oh! H-h-h-hello. My name is Haylo and this is my best friend Tyke." "Haylo huh. Your name sounds familiar. Ah well. How about we get started." "S-s-started on what?" "Started training. I'll teach you the henge no jutsu." "I already know most of these things... I think." "Well, I'm your sensei for the time being so you have to learn something before leaving. Or atleast show me that you can perform the Henge no Jutsu." "I-I-I'll do it now then. I-I'll show you then I can go and learn something new." replies Haylo as she walks a distance away from the woman. "By the way kid... you can call me Reina. If you ever need some help on performing something... don't hesitate to ask." stated Reina as Haylo charged up chakra.

"Henge no Jutsu!" exclaims Haylo as a puff of smoke fills the air. "Very nice. You look just like him." stated Reina as the smoke cleared and two dogs sit side by side. "It's hard to tell who is who." continued Reina as she put two fingers in her mouth. She whistles as Tyke runs over and Haylo straggles behind nervously. "Haylo is on the right and Tyke on the left." "W-w-w-w-what? How'd you know?" asks Haylo, changing back. "You were shaky and nervous like you were when we met. Tyke was the same as he was also. So I determined you were you and he was he. You not only must mask your appearance but your traits as well." replied Reina as Haylo lowered her head solemnly. Reina quickly decented out the door as Haylo watched her with adoration.

Namiboshi walked calmly into the classroom. Iruka greeted her with a smile. "Hello. You must be a new student here. What might your name be?" "It's Namiboshi, sir. You must be Iruka-sensei." "Indeed. So, what do you wish to learn in class today, Namiboshi?" "Well, I've always wanted to walk on water. "That isn' a problem. It just so happens that water-walking is one of the things we teach here. Follow me." Iruka led Namiboshi out of the classroom and into the courtyard. In the centre was a pool three or four feet deep. "All right," Iruka stated. "The first step to water-walking is chakra control. You have to concentrate your chakra into the soles of your feet. Can you do that?" "I can try." Namiboshi formed her hands into a seal, and tried to focus her chakra. Sadly, nothing happened. "I can't, Iruka-sensei. Can you show me how?"

"It's okay, Namiboshi. There aren't many people who get it on the first try. Hey, when I tried to learn it, it took me quite a while." Iruka said with a smile. Namiboshi smiled back. Iruka's words had helped lift her spirits. She reformed the seal, and attempted to focus her chakra to her feet. After moments of intense concentration, Namiboshi started to feel warmth in the soles of her feet. Her heart jumped with joy: she had succeeded in focusing her chakra. But that little outburst had also broken her concentration, and the warm feeling went away quickly. "Oh, bugger. I almost had it too." "Really?" Iruka asked intently. "Are you sure?" "Yeah. I felt a... a sort of warmth in my feet. Is that what its supposed to feel like?" "Pretty much. Well, you've almost completed the first and easiest step in waterwalking. Just one more push should do it."

'I'll get it for sure this time!' Namiboshi thought to herself. Forming the handseal once again, she poured every once of effort into moving her chakra to her feet. Nothing would distract her this time. She closed her eyes so her attention could not be detracted. Slowly but steadily, a warmth began to build up in her feet. After a few moments, Namiboshi knew she had done it. "Woohoo! I did it, Iruka-sensei!" "Good job, Namiboshi. Congratulations, you've completed the first step of water-walking. Now, step into, or rather, onto the water." She let out a long, deep breath. 'Here goes nothing.' She took a step onto the water's glassy surface. Her foot made contact, and began to sink. There was an immediate sinking feeling in her heart, as it seemed she had failed. But soon, her foot leveled out and rose to the surface. The sinking feeling dissipated to be replaced with a light, fluttery one. Carefully she placed her foot beside the other one. It, too, sank, but then rose and leveled out. "Yes! I did it!" Namiboshi exclaimed, jumping into the air. But the shock of the landing was too much for the small amount of chakra in Namiboshi's feet, and she fell into the water.

Iruka gave a start. "Namiboshi! Are you okay?" "Yeah," she replied, getting out of the pool. "Pretty sure." "Well, it seems you need more practice. You can take as long as you like getting the hang of chakra concentration and stepping onto the water. In the meantime, I'm going to set up an obstacle course for you to really build up experience. It might be a good idea to try and learn how to actually walk, rather than just take a step or two." With that, he turned and walked away. Namiboshi carefully went over Iruka-sensei's words. An obstacle course? That would be difficult, especially for a newbie at water-walking. 'Well, you won't know what you can do until you try!' She quickly formed the handseal, and attempted to focus her chakra once again. This time, it felt easier and took less conscious effort. This time she kept going for a few minutes to strengthen the chakra. Then, facing the pool, she went into an all out sprint. Before she knew it, she was on the water, running as she would on land. Namiboshi continued to run around the edge of he pool, getting to know which was the best and least tiring way to run on the surface.

Iruka returned to the pool to see Namiboshi jumping on the water, testing and fine-tuning the strength of her focused chakra. "I guess that means you're ready, huh? Follow me." Namiboshi silently complied. They came to a wide stream in the middle of a heavily wooded forest. The ancient branches of trees reached across the stream, blocking the sun's rays. The area was all but dark. "Here we are. The stream is rather shallow, so you won't lose much by falling in." "Thank you for all this, Iruka-sensei." "Well, when you're ready to begin, just step out onto the water." She let out another deep breath, and stepped out onto the water. Suddenly, a barrage of kunai flew out of the darkness and toward Namiboshi. She had almost no time to react. Through swift judgement of the kunai's trajectories, she ran in such a way as to avoid them all. Much to her dismay, there was another trap waiting for her. A swinging log was hurtling towards her. A quick look behind revealed the same thing. Namiboshi somesaulted out of the way, hearing the crash of the wood behind her.

After hearing the din of the crashed logs, Namiboshi was straining her ears for the sound of another trap. Just as she started to relax, the strem began to flow very rapidly in one direction, sweeping Namiboshi off her feet. She flipped over and kicked off the water in the opposite direction of the current. It was comparable to running on a treadmill: Namiboshi ran, but neither made progress nor fell back. As suddenly as it had started, the current immediately ceased. Namiboshi slowed down to a walk. Iruka stepped out of the darkness, and began to applaud quietly. "Well done, well done. If you can somesault, and even kick off of the water, you're definitely ready and capable to walk on water. Congratulations! You've taken your first step toward becoming a sucessful kunoichi." Iruka said, beaming. "Thank you Iruka-sensei. If you don't mind, I'm going to try and master walking on water. Can you reset the traps?" "Sure thing." Namiboshi ran the course again, and passed with flying colours. She now had her first technique under her belt.

"Congratulations, students." Iruka said proudly. "You've all graduated from this Shinobi Academy. When your name is called, step up to the dais to receive your village headband." Many names were called. Finally, Namiboshi Yukimari was called up to the dais. She accepted her headband quietly, and took her seat. The ceremony finished soon after, and everyone went their own seperate ways. Namiboshi took one last look at the school, then turned and walked away.

Sarrah walked slowly up to the building looking down as she moved forward and looked up as she neared the doors to the academy. she lifted her arm keeping her head lower so she wouldn't be noticed very easily. also she didn't want to be noticed as being an Uchiha because she didn't want any attention, or to be expected to be great. as she continued on she walked through the halls heading off to her first class, not knowing what to expect. she continued on as she neared the classroom opening the door and heading inside. Sarah to a seat in the middle of the classroom listening to the teacher talk. "ahh thanks for joining us Uchiha Sarrah." and with that said attention was brought to her.

Sarrah now felt attention building around her as she was mentioned by the instructor and was now being looked at by all of the students. She began to get nervous as she looked straight forward at the teacher, and he continued on with his lessons. "alright class its time to practice the Henge No Jutsu." The instructor said as he continued on with his lesson. and started to call students forward to try the Henge No Jutsu, Sarrah was the last to go forward so she had plenty of examples to figure out what the technique was and how to do it. she payed attention to everyone who tried it and watched for what worked.

Sarrah was about to go up for her turn so she had to be careful and sure that she had it figured out. so as she watched she used the sharingan carefully so no one would notice her doing it. as she walked up to the front of the class the instructor said to her, "don't worry if you don't get this then its no big deal you just started here. now feel free to take a shot at it." Sarrah did a few handseals as she tried at the Henge No Jutsu. as she tried she had completed it and she changed like most of the rest of the class had, "good job" the instructor said and continued, "well all of you who have completed this technique may leave or continue to practice more techniques."
