Welcome to Gaia! ::

arrow By solider camp

Edge looked at the group and took into account the equipment and abilities into consideration. His eyes closed briefly as he considered each possiblity that came to mind. A decoy tactic perhaps? He wondered until he figured a partial idea that could work.

"Ok we can't take on the guards due to our current level. These men who possibly are not trained ninja are still very capable of killing us if they mean harm. They outnumber us and have been trained to fight as a unit. If we go around them we will most likely take too long to reach the others or we will be caught. It seems the soldiers change their shift patterns every so often and since this one has just changed we may have a good chance to sneak past them. Perhaps if we clone the last guy who just left and approach the guard while the other two sneak up from behind we can pass by into the city and hopefully away to the others."

He hoped that this would be possible

(I'm alittle rusty on the abilities but are there any specific rules to follow for this?)

*At the Academy*

-As the women spoke Yukio quickly found a desk near the front. He layed back lazily in his chair. Pushing his foot on the desk the chair tipped back into a comfortable position. He smirked as Buki lectured him and the other male that was in the room.-

"I understand. I am up to anything you dish out teach..."

-Yukio continued to lean back in his chair as he listen to his teacher go on. The thought still wondered in his head though.... Was he ever going to be able to accomplish his goal. To become the leader of this village. Knowing it would take time to rise through the ranks, frustrated Yukio. Practically makeing him mad. Letting out a long sigh he continued to listen intently.-

(ooc: Edge, as it says in one of the subforums that its states that all new comers and old members need to read, yes, there are rules about skills. I suggest that everyone read the threads in that subforum. Thank you)

~*~at the academy~*~

::her eyes narrowed to mere slits, her cat like eyes glowing slightly, what sounded like thunder began to rumble in the classroom, yet outside was clear::

You think that sitting here is a waste of time? You wish to get to the real? combat? Its people like you that get their teams killed!! ::she snapped at the viciously::

Training takes time a patience, it also takes effort and team work. Value the lives of your team mates as much as your own and that it how you will make it through.

So...introduce yourselves, since you'll be working together, and tell why it is that you are here.

[[ Uh, new guys? Look how the rest of us post and try to use that style, alright? Kind of like in a novel, those things that you open up and read? Proper English. ]]

arrow Ruins

Areno looked over this predicament, doling out his Chakra and making use of the utmost efficiency he was drilled in... Dual guards, no ground cover. He was using up quite a bit of Chakra so far, but things needed to be done and done correctly.

The nearly-invisible Kaguya lifted his hands and performed =Kaze Bunshin=, although he used only the barest whisper of energy to create it... this resulted in in a rush of wind from the failed clone's light implosion... it was this rush that Areno skittered forward within.

His passing would be only considered as a light breeze rustling by ever so softly, if the guards didn't catch sight of him somehow.

Hearing that implosion, Oni, in his cat form, crept under the platform and became his normal self. He waited to hear what the two people would say.

Yamato I can but im not so perfect but it will have to do. "Yamato told Edge that is an great idea" as Yamato waited for his other team mate to answer he began to think of what will it be like with the other students. Since it had been him and his team mates for a while.

arrow Soldier camp

"I think that we should have Yamoto transform but i also like the idea of entering the burnt city, its up to you Edge"

(ooc: just a reminder to read previous posts that we made before yours. Also, please read the information listed in the MUST READ FORUMS. These are brand new characters people. You are academy students, you have little sway over anything, you are not uber great ninja that know everything about that world. Thanks again)

~*~at the academy~*~

::the thunder rolled again, this time louder than it had before, and shizu growled softly next to the desk::

I am not here to teach fools who have no idea how to follow the rules. You are nothing but hyped up children who have been let out by daddy to go play.

::she looked with slitted eyes at Yukio::

You will never win respect when you have no idea how to show it to others. You think that you have a leg up on what everyone else knows already. Do you beleive yourself skilled? It takes more than desire to become the leader of a village. I'm not totally sure yet that you have the brains to do so. But at least, unlike your friend there, you have at least a basic grasp that you do have to follow orders.

::it was then that she shot a look at Kyori, who had apparently thought it beyond him to introoduce himself::

If you two hot shots think that you have all the skills you need, then feel free to leave and never look back, because from this moment one, I'm in charge and I'm the one who in the end determines if you're ready to wear the honor of the shinobi.

::with a quick and military like turn, she moved towards the door in the back and flung it open, beyond it was nothing but a dark forest of trees, a stiff breeze blew through the room, carrying with it the smell of something sweet::

~*~in the ruins~*~

::the burst of wind did seem to peak the interest of the guards for a moment, but then they continued about their rounds, moving in their circular motion around the building that rested, charred as it was, on the ground in the center of the square::

::with edge and the others::

::the guards continued their watch, obviously covering enough area to encircle their own camp. The sun was starting to set, casting the area into semi-darnkness, the cooking and camp fires casting long shadows out to the edges of the guard. Soon, torches on long pokes would appear, carried by other warriors and placed between each guard, so that the edge of each circle of light met where the guards stood, casting the area between them into full flickering light::

(ooc: ok, that was a bit long winded wasn't it ^.^ Thats what happens when I go to working the morning and don't get to see what everyone posted until now ^.^ Thanks everyone for being active and remembering to follow the rules)
