Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the class burst into a flurry of laughter, Torrest merely lowered his hands and looked around, a bit startled from the sudden burst of laughter from everyone around him. "Torrest... Just please, make the hand seals I will show you all and don't do anything stupid," said the teacher as he formed three hand seals. After doing so, all the other students did the same thing over and over again, trying to get it stuck in their minds. Torrest, having trouble with his hand seals, looked to the girl next to him and saw her make the seals perfectly. "Your a really good hand seal maker," said Torrest with his smile.

7/22

The girl looked at him and then turned away in disgust, making Torrest tilt his head to the side. "I said, your a really good hand seal maker. Can you teach me how you do that so quickly?" The girl turned her head towards Torrest and asked, "Are you for real? Or are you just plain out stupid?" "As stupid as stupid does ma'am," said Torrest as he made a face of De Javu and looked her in the eye. "Ugh... Alright, I'll tell you once... First do it slowly, and then try it faster and faster till you can get it stuck in your mind. And don't tell me any story about you getting anything stuck in your nose or ears for that matter." Torrest did just that to.

8/22

He made the hand seals slowly over and over again until he was able to get it. He then started to try it faster but the teacher then called for their attention. Torrest was forced to stop as he looked towards the teacher. "Alright class. Now that you have all gotten the hand seals memorized, I want you all to try molding your chakra around you. But you don't need to transform just yet. That will be the next step," said the teacher as he demonstrated. There was a blue aura around the teacher and that fascinated Torrest almost instantly although he knew that his parents can do that as well.

9/22

After that, Torrest turned towards a boy to his right and then said, "My mama and daddy can do that. Only much larger," said Torrest. The boy looked at him with annoyance and then turned away from Torrest as he tried to do what the teacher did. Torrest frowned as he made the seal of the tiger and closed his eyes. Having been taught to do this by his parents for the Basic Disease Immunity, he started to focus with all his might which relatively speaking, took all his ability and might to actually do that. He then started to glow with the blue aura of chakra and the children looked around towards him, surprised that such a retard like him was able to mold this much chakra.

10/22

As Torrest let the chakra dissipate, the teacher walked up to him and smiled. "Nicely done Torrest. I guess you aren't as slow as your parents feared," said the teacher as he pattered Torrest on the shoulder. As the teacher left, it was now his turn to be barraged with questions. "How did you do that, Torrest?" "Can you teach me how to do that?" "How can you mold that much chakra so fast?" Torrest looked at everyone and then back down to the top of his desk. "Well... I close my eyes... Think really hard... That's all I got to say about that," said Torrest as he looked at all of them. Suddenly, the bell rang, signifying the bell of Physical Education.

11/22

"Alright class. We will finish this lesson later. As for now, lets all go outside and hone your bodies so that they can hold much chakra in the near future," said the teacher clapping his hands twice. Everyone stood and then left the room, Torrest following at the back of the pack. As everyone lined up at a track, the teacher appeared in a puff of smoke. "Alright everyone. You must all run seven laps around the field. Ready? GO!" Everyone suddenly started to run but Torrest stood there confused on what to do. Suddenly, one of the kids turned and yelled, "Run Torrest, run!"

I awoke half asleep because to much happend yesterday that I didn't expect. I took a cold shower to wake myself up, didn't work to well. I'm still exahusted. I get dressed, I get my kunai, cause I don't know what will happen, and walk out the door. No one is around so I guess I'm back to walking to school alone, not that I care. The academy is far from normal but I walk to class ignoring confused glances at me. I was into the classrom and sit in the front row with Zoro behind me and Takami to my right. After reading my book with many interuptions over the imposter and other things class begun. Lady Aboshi was subbing, sence she has no classes at the moment. She had a hard time sence she didn't know the topic we were on. I took over, yet again, and she left. After she left there was a huge number of questions about yesterday. Why me?

Leaf Concentration 1/5

I answer the question, while not letting information they don't need slip, and by the time lunch come around half the questions are answered. I run out of the classroom when the lunch bell rings. I find a quiet spot to eat my lunch, I'm in an older classroom that hasn't been used in years. No one should find me unless they're that determined. They should loss interest soon, hopefully. I eat my lunch slowly so I don't have to sit doing nothing. After I'm done with lunch, twenty minutes tell the bell rings, I begin to sharpen my kunai. Five minutes later some people found me and I had to leave. I snuck out and just started to walk around campus, hoping no one would follow, after a bit most of them leaft but one staied. I stoped and said,"You can com out now, Takami." "You're in a bad mood..." He mumbled. Once I had stoped he jumped into the nearest tree. "Not my fault. Now why are you following me?" "It's fun and we better get closer to the main part of capus. The bell will ring in five minutes..." "Fine."

We walked together back to the active academy. The bell rung and we went our seperate ways. I went to my kunochi class and he went to study haul(because they can't have an extra class like the girls do). Lady Aboshi arrives late because she has to get materials. Our assignment is to design a out fit that we will wear on missions(that isn't what we normally wear). She brought many pieces of cloth for us to us on the assisgnment. I us almost all the black cloth she brought, so I can blend in with the shadows. I'll get an A but others won't cause the want nice cloths rolleyes . Why are they so stupid confused ? I make it tight with a spot to place shuriken and some kunai. It has long sleeves, gloves(which are the hardest to make) and a face mask.

Leaf Concentration 3/5

It took a bit but I finished my project. Some girl(that didn't know me well) asked me if acsessories matched. I simply said they didn't match the topic of our assignment. They left in a scorn but no one bothered me after that. I was reading a copy of the Shinobi Newspaper(Ibiki gave it to me). I was scanning to see what they had put on events that I was involved in. One(to my surprize) had a quote from Ibiki. It said that Ibiki told the press that he would be happy to see me in the Ambu Black Oops when I mature a little...What a load of crap! Ibiki had just said that to qwell questions about me. I don't know why but Ibiki never wanted me to even join the academy. He never gave me a straite anwser so I gave up on asking him. I think it's becuse we don't know a thing about my past or origens. Nothing at all.

Leaf Concentration 4/5

After the boring kunochi class I went to my final class of the day(the newspaper tucked between my arm and chest). I sat in front, Takami left last periode for an appointment, with Zoro sitting behind me. He asked about Ibiki's quote and I told him he didn't even want me in the academy. Zoro stopped asking questions and let me read. In another article they had a quote that I said in this class about my past but hey cut out a lot because Ibiki is one of the top editors. I was happy about that at least. Lady Aboshi is subbing until we can find Master Maki. I help, as usual, but she doesn't need as much as before. After class is dismissed the weekend begins. One unexpected thing happens. Takami, after he returns to campus, askes me out on a date and schedules it before I can respond. I walk home in a daze.

Leaf Concentration 5/5

I awoke with more energy than average. I drag myself out of bed and take a shower. I put on nice clothes, so I don't look like a slob tonight for dinner with Takami. I read until it's time to go. I walk outside and Takami is waiting for me. He complements me on how I look and we walk, together, to the resterant. It's really fancy so I'm glad I brought some money. A waiter brings us our menus then leaves us. "Um, thanks for-" "N-no need to thank me..." "Why did you ask me out all of a sudden?" "I asked you so that we could be alone, or near alone, when I ask you something." "What do you want to ask?" "I want to ask you about your past and-" "That's all? I'm leaving-" "Please don't go. I wanted to ask because well, I ah. I noticed the scar on your shoulder..." "Very few people know about it how did you find out?"

Weight Lifting 1/3

Takami blushed and whispered, "I saw it when you wore that Waterfall Village dress." " neutral How do you know it wasn't a line on the dress?" "I knew because your other shoulder didn't have the same line." "What do you want to know?" Now Takami was scarlet redface . "E-everything..." "Oh...Um. After we eat..." "Why? If I may ask..." "Ibiki doesn't want many people to know. Now lets eat." We ordered our food and ate it. It was the most delicious thing ever. It was a really good thing I brought money. Takami was just a little short but he still covered most of the huge price. Takami walked me home before we talked again. Once inside Whitepaw greeted us with purring and she rubbed against our legs. I excussed myself so I could change into something more comfy.

Weight Lifting 2/3

Once I came back to the main room of my house Takami looked even redder. I sighed, "Relax. I'm not expecting anyone, you are one of the few people who know were I live, Zoro shouldn't bother us because he was lost when he saw me exit my home and Ibiki is on a mission." Takami's face was just a little less red. I sighed, again. "I got the scar before I could remember anything..." Takami looked up and I continued. "I was found on a ballte feild by Ibiki. I had no memory of why I was there or why. Ibiki took me in. He didn't want me to even join the academy just in case my parents were dangerous or someone was looking for me." "I'm sorry I troubled you. I'll leave now." Takami got up but I stopped him. "It's not your fault that you didn't know. Sit down and I'll bring you something to drink." For the rest of the night I helped Takami relax, I answered his questions and I walked him home. Every moment I was explaining something that he had asked me. I walked home alone but when I herd something and turned a wounded man was there. I don't know who he is but I helped him inside.

Weight Lifting 3/3

He soon started to reach a series of hurdles where a person was to jump over them, each one a bit higher than the last... But Torrest merely ran into them, also destroying the ones that were in his way with quick ease. Another portion was where there was a pit of water where the students were to run across its surface but Torrest, not having the intelligence at that moment continued running, sinking into the water with each step but it didn't seem to stop him as he continued and this really surprised many of his fellow classmates as he started round to end the lap.

15/22

As he reached the finish line, everyone tackled him and with their combined weight and power, they were able to stop him from running. At that instant, Torrest awoke from his technique, his intelligence returning back to him. "Why are you all on me? My mama always says I had many lives on my shoulders... But I don't think she meant it like this," said Torrest with a confused look as he observed the pile of kids on him. "Torrest, don't you remember what you did," asked a student. "Ya... I ran just like you all told me too," said Torrest with a confused face.

16/22

After they had all climbed off of Torrest, they all faced the teacher whom explained the course on what to do. The first thing they had to do was climb the wall with only their chakra coming from their feet. Then they were to climb down the same way. Afterwards, they were to jump over the hurdles that Torrest had recently ran through and finally run over the water to complete the run. "Pardon teacher... But this seems a little hard for me," said Torrest. "Come on Torrest! Just watch me and do what I do," called a child whom was smiling at him.

17/22

Torrest nodded as he then started jogging after the girl that had called him and watched as she ran up the wall that he had ran through and she stopped at the top looking down towards him. "Alright Torrest! The trick is to~" Before she could finish, Torrest was already doing what he needed to do. She was rather surprised by this but then ran down the wall and Torrest followed, only slipping at the last step and falling upon the ground. The Hurdles where no problem at all for him but when it came to the water, Torrest took his first step on top but his foot sank into the water.

18/22

"Naw... I can't do it. My mama always said that if we was meant to walk on wata, we'd have lily pads for feet," said Torrest. "Oh come on Torrest. It's like walking up that wall! But push your chakra deep into the water so you can stand!" "Aw kay but I don't know what that will do for meh," said Torrest as he did what he was told and he found he was standing on the water. "That's it Torrest," she cried smiling while the rest of the class was rather impressed. As Torrest reached the other side, he gave a large grin towards his class.

19/22

"Alright students! Head back to the class room! Physical Training is over. We are going to learn how to transform into each other," called the teacher waving his hand towards them. All the students groaned as they headed back into the room. After everyone had taken their seats, the teacher made them practice the hand seals again. Torrest was the first to change himself into something even though he wasn't instructed and he came out of the smoke as a monkey. All the students laughed while the teacher just chuckled in humor.

20/22

The next lesson after everyone had finished their attempts at the technique, the teacher then started to show them how to make the hand seals for the Bushin no Jutsu. Torrest, still in monkey form, started the hand seals but looked at the girl next to him wanting to figure out how the hand seals were made. As he watched her do it slowly, he followed. Go figure, monkey sees, monkey does. Afterwards, he added chakra to the technique and suddenly there were two monkeys that were Torrest. Everyone was amazed that Torrest can do so much so quickly even though he was really slow in learning these things.

21/22

The teacher then started to teach a new technique after everyone had a try and after Torrest got the hang of it, the teacher threw a board eraser at him. Torrest quickly used the handseals while still like a monkey and he suddenly changed places with the teacher who was actually on the other side of the room. The teacher was surprised when the eraser hit him in the forehead and he fell backwards into the seat. At that moment, the bell rang signaling the end of the school. The teacher awarded Torrest his headband after he changed back to normal and Torrest walked out of the Academy and into Hidden Arts.

22/22

Saizo Uchiha, a man with blood on his hands. A man with a secret. A man- "Saizo, time to leave or your going to be late for your first day at the academy!!!" "Yes mom" Saizo yells down the stairs. He looks at his watch and is surprised at how much time has indeed passed. He was not looking forward to yet another day in the house. He was bored to say the least. Now was his chance to become the person who he had always felt he could become. Now he could become the person that he had always felt that he could become if he only tried just a little harder.

1

He was one of the Uchiha Clan so obvously he would have what it took to become strong. This was going to be fun to say the least. Saizo finally is ready and rushes out of the house past his smiling mother. If only he would realize that she was not really there. It is truly a sad thing. Saizo suffered great mental stress with the destruction of the clan. He is right now under such mental duress that he has created his own reality for himself. At this moment that reality is somewhat harmless, but ther e may come a time when this reality gets out of hand.

2

If that happens, especially if he is far stronger then than he is now, there there is the chance that he will be unstoppable. However, it has not come to that yet. Hopefully it will not come to that either. However, with no one to get him the help that he needs, it is all but expected that it will be a matter of time before Saizo finally goes off the deep end. Surprisingly, Saizo is able to keep his abnormalities to himself around others. That is a good thing since he . . . wait, that is not a good thing, what am I talking about? That is a bad thing come to think of it.

3

It is alright now that he is able to keep his abnormalities to himself, but when it come time that he is no longer able to do that, it may be too late to save him. If that happens I shudder to think what will be the answer. However I digress. This perticular somewhat crazy person is on his way to academy at this perticular time. He wants to become a ninja and this was the surest way to become one. It would not take Saizo long to get to the academy so he decided to stop and get something to eat. He would probably need it anyway.

4

He stopped at a ramen stand in town. This was actually one of the more famous ones in hidden leaf but because it was so early in the morning, no one was really around to enjoy the food. That worked for Saizo anyway since he liked eating alone. Saizo ordered some beef ramen and waited for it to be made. While it was being made, Saizo took that time to think. That was something that he did often since he was normally by him self. HE was so lost in thought that he was only awoken when the chef placed the bowl of ramen in front of him.

5

Saizo smiled his thanks and began to eat. HE ate the food rather quietly. He was done withing a few minutes and on his way again. Even with breakfast, Saizo still had hours to wait until the academy opened and class started. Until then Saizo would have nothing to do. He decided to wait for then and sit down, which he did, sitting on a bench betweeen two cherry blossom trees. He would have a long wait ahaid of him so he decided to daydream to pass the time, something that he did quite a lot when he was alone anyway.

6

Saizo was sitting there for about thirty minutes before the first member of the faculty finally came in. It had been a long time since anyone, let alone a student had beat Iruka to school. This one was going to be a real go getter. It might actually be fun. As Iruka came closer, he realized that he did not actually know who the child was. Along with that he also spied the sharingan and black hair. It was obvious that this boy was from the uchiha clan. Iruka sighed. He always had a soft spot for problem cases and there was little chance that this was not one.

7

Iruka had to admit, however that it had been a long time since he had to deal with special cases. This was bound to be fun. Long and agonizing, but fun. Iruka went to sit down next to Saizo. Saizo on his part did not notice Iruka coming until he was about five steps away. Iruka put on a smile and nodded to the boy who in turn nodded back to Iruka. Iruka saw that he did not recognize who the boy was. Saizo in turn did not rocognize Iruka. This was not too surprising since Saizo rarely stepped foot out of the Uchiha section of the village.

8

Still it was quite weird that the two of them had never even seen each other in passing. Iruka tried several times to make conversation with the boy but did not do a good job at it. So he sat next to the boy for several minutes. It was kind of awkward. Finally, Iruka stood up and simply said "come on" before beginning to walk into the forest. Saizo was surprised that Iruka was talking to him. He sat gaping after Iruka for several minutes before standing up and following him out into the forest. He was curious on what Iruka wanted.

9

He walked after Iruka and they walked a great deal into the forest. They walked long enough that Saizo was seriously wondering if this was a smart thing to do. I mean he did not even know the person that he was following. It was beginning to become a little scary. That fright did not lessen as Saizo made it to a tree in which Iruka had stopped in front of. The tree was huge. IT was far larger than any other tree around them. Saizo looked up at this tree in awe. Iruka saw the look in Saizo's eyes and smiled because he was used to seeing it.

10

After a few minutes, Iruka took the time to speak. "This tree is one of the oldest trees in the Hidden Leaf Village. Legend has it that this tree was one that was planted by the first hokage himself. Because of its girth this is a belief that has not been refuted. None the less people could really care less whether or not that is true or not. This tree is most popularly used in training for a certain technique. That technique is very aptly called the tree climbing technique. Now the name is very self explanatory since it requires you to climb this tree.

11

Now the only difference in that is that you will be required to not so much climb up the tree as you would using you hands but to simply run up the tree using chakra channeled to your feet. The technique is simple enough all things continued since it is mearly a stepping stone to the next technique that I will teach you. However the technique is often times useful in battle which is rare for low level techniques. Now you will be marking your . . . progress using a kunai blade so you might as well take one of yours out right now to save time."

12 Water Walking and Tree Climbing

Kiera frowned slightly under her mask but stood up and walked to the front of the room anyway. Iruka-Sensei had her turn so that she was facing the class. Iruka stood beside her and held his hands out, showing her the hand movements slowly. She shrugged, actually getting a bit irritated that he was taking it so slow. She knew there were probably a few people who would need him to do so, but she memorized quickly enough. Him a chance to perform the technique she held her hands out infront of her and mimicked the hand seals that he had done.

Ram, Boar, Ox, Dog or Ram, Snake, Tiger....

"Bushin No Jutsu!"

A rather odd looking version of Keira stood beside her. The replica looked at her and poked her in the side of the face saying, "Hey, dummy! You messed up!" The entire class seemed to erupt into laughter as Keira drew back her fist and punched the clone, causing it to disappear.
