Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sound Village Academy

Sythril let out a loud sigh, realizing that even if he did decide on which of these jutsu to practice, he wouldn’t even know what hand seals to perform. Rather annoyed he set out to find the lounge Suzume was in doing- “paperwork?” Sythril rolled his eyes, his annoyance rising, “I finished all the paperwork myself before coming to that empty classroom, go figure I get the lazy instructor.” After searching what seemed to be the entire building, which only turned out to be a handful of other rooms, Sythril returned back to his classroom to find the instructor waiting.

“Skipping out on class?” she said smirking. “Just a bit, how was that paperwork you had to finish for me?” Sythril replied with bitterness in his voice. “Hmm, well at least you realized it; anyway did you pick the first jutsu you want to learn yet?” Sythril let out a sigh, looked over the list then set it aside. “For now I’ll go with the Flash step technique.”

Suzume, sighed and nodded, “Try to pay close attention, I hate having to go through things more than once, first I’ll show you the seals just in case you can’t keep up.” She went through a very brief explanation of what hand seals were and the correct ones to use for the flash step technique. “Now then, watch me, then try yourself.” Sythril nodded and began to watch her carefully, as she began to form her hand seals they were nothing but a blur to him, however at times he caught glimpses during these moments it seemed she was hardly moving at all however after blinking her movement would return to normal.

“Did you catch all that?” she asked when she noticed Sythril was spacing. “Bits and pieces of it, did you keep slowing down so it would be easier for me?” The instructor looked confused but continued, “I didn’t slow down at all. Why would I when I want to get this over with so I can get out of this place, by the way. It’s your turn to try it.”

Sythril let out another sigh, he wished that he could have seen how she did it better. While he was always good with school this was completely knew not textbook material he could learn on his own, he actually needed this lazy instructor to learn. Aggravated he moved back a bit and performed the hand seals she had shown him previously slowly while he noticed slight improvement in his movements after he felt more like he was just jumping from place to place.

Suzume rolled her eyes and called him back over to herself. “I’ll show you again, and then you try again. -Try- to get it right this time.” She moved away from him slightly, then again she began to perform her seals, this time Sythril was able to see more of the signs, but he also understood that he had not concentrated any chakra to his feet or legs before. “Be sure you get it right, you won’t be learning anything else until you at least manage to execute this properly.” Suzume said as she moved away to sit at her desk.

Still annoyed Sythril once again formed his hand seals, this time being sure to focus chakra throughout his body moving quickly he looked for a place to hide, but when he did find a place the instructor beat him to it, blocking his patch and knocking him back. “Tch, be less obvious, an enemy isn’t going to be nice enough to just let you walk into off to hide. In any case that’s all for today, practice on your way home and we’ll see how you’ve progressed tomorrow. She walked out, leaving Sythril humiliated and annoyed; he got up and made his way home for the night.

Kiyomi Kokoro. She was too old for this s**t. She didn't want to have to deal with the academy right now. She had spent most of her time since she was a little girl just hunting out the pigs of the village, seducing them with her body and then luring them somewhere she could take them out. She had done it so may times she had lost count, but she didn't care. The blood that stained her hands was for a righteous cause. No woman, no little girl would ever suffer the way that she suffered ever again. The rose tinted shades that she wore, the frames creating a half circle beneath her eyes, accented the beautiful emerald green eyes that the eighteen year old girl sported. She heaved a sigh as she rubbed her hands together. The skin tight white leather one-piece she wore beneath the trench coat gleamed as she walked in the sun, the wool in the coat not exactly the most comfortable thing when in the sunshine, but it helped her conceal many things by wearing it, and the wool-lined seams and hood did look pretty nice. She smirked as she stretched in the middle of the academy, catching the eye of some of the other students. She thought about killing them all for fun, but then again, that wouldn't solve anything except how to get herself thrown in jail.

She looked around for a little while before deciding she would have to just learn a few things to satisfy the fools here, and after that she would be free to leave and do what she wanted. She could start taking missions, she could find more prey all around the world. The idea brought a smile to her voluptuous lips. She figured she would learn a few easy jutsu so that the coordinators would be satisfied. She hadn't spent enough time practicing her jutsu, seeing as she had all the skill she needed to kill already just using her bare hands. It was time to figure this chakra s**t out. She closed her eyes, as anyone could she could feel the chakra in her body, but not only that, she could feel the bugs. All those helpful little bugs that were in her body feeding off of her energy. She focused for a little bit, figuring most people started with the water walking jutsu. She smiled as she walked towards a pond. This would be easy. She focused chakra into her feet and she bolted forwards, confident in her ability. She hit the water and sailed across, the first step pounding down and sending her into her second and third. But when she let her guard down by the third step the fourth became disastrous. There was too much chakra and it merely pushed the water down and her leg sunk through it and she face-planted. A loud smack could be heard as she made contact with the water and she slowly swam back to the shore mumbling about 'this damn academy, and these stupid jutsu'.

She had been aware of the man watching her, but she had said nothing, most of them ended up swarming her to try and get in her pants, but she knew he wasn't watching her because he wanted to get with her, this man was a teacher, and a major pain in her a**. When she heard the words he spoke first it stung her pride, but she took the insult and swallowed the pride that begged her to swing at him. This man was a lot stronger than she was, that was for sure. But she planned on getting to the top of this village, and doing it quickly. That was what it was all about for her. She would become a powerful female shinobi, perhaps a junin or a anbu ninja. She would never become a kage, but perhaps she would become a feared assassin, someone that people went to when they needed help in a war. Someone someone went to when they needed something done, when they needed fear struck into the hearts of the opponent. That would be her. But for now...well...for now she was the pitiful person being carried by the back of her coat to the edge of the pond. When she compared her to the others and said there was no room for failures she gritted her teeth together once again. "I am no failure. And don't you touch me again Korinobu." She spat, her eyes aflame with anger. "Next time I will be putting a kunai between your eyes." She said with a sly grin as she looked at the pond. She took a deep breath. The man was right though, she was rushing this. She needed to be calm, that was what a shinobi did. They maintained their cool at all times.

She smirked as she felt her chakra once more, she had a good sense for her chakra just from constantly looking into her chakra and the bugs inside of her, seeing them all and watching them go about their business within her body when she was bored. She closed her eyes and she felt the chakra as she pushed it towards her feet. She knew she could keep an even output if she kept her focus on it. When she opened her emerald eyes she was walking out across the river and when she turned around in the middle of the pond she looked at Korinobu. "I told you I wasn't a failure. The s**t is easy, I just didn't get it the first time. Everyone needs a practice run before going through and just doing it. Give me a little time and there is NOTHING I can't do." She said, a sadistic grin upon her face.

She knew she was only acting like tough s**t because she was afraid. She had gone through a lot in her life, and she had suppressed it all. She had locked away who she had been before she had been taken by the man of her nightmares. She had locked that child away and she grew without it. She grew never knowing the love a child should know, the innocence a child should bear. She grew up cold, and nobody could see it, nobody could help her through it. Nobody had tried. Thinking about these memories however, put her in an even worse mood and she narrowed her eyes as she heaved a heavy, saddened sigh. But it was moments later that she felt the water beneath her give way and she was plummeting downwards. She landed with her hand on the ground, propping himself up and then pushed off with it, sending her in a flip backwards and onto her feet on the riverbed. As the water began to come down towards her she smiled, she had to act quickly, because whereas it was an easy ability, it was different when the water was moving, made it much more difficult to track and adjust your chakra output to combat the movement of the water. She jumped towards the water and she shot the chakra into her feet, stepping down on the water as it flowed into the pond and jumping off of it, leaping through the air and looking to where she would be landing, how the water was moving there, predicting how it would be flowing when she landed. She thought of all sorts of things, the woman really was smart. Her childish act of self-centeredness was just to keep her safe. Keep her from the emotional bonds she knew she couldn't make.

When she landed she adjusted her chakra accordingly, and she even managed to stick the landing and start to move back towards the shore. But as she made her step the foot she landed on sunk through the surface, and as it did she cried out and fell forwards like the first time she had tried, though this time she caught herself, using her hand just like her foot and pushing herself into a handspring that landed her on the shore without soaking herself too bad for a second time. "I am glad that you did that Korinobu...it shows me that you aren't going to take things easy with me. I want you to train me, and I want you to train me hard you got it!?" She growled, a bright smile across her face. She wasn't a total b***h all the time. At least not to the people who showed her they didn't look down on her completely. His little trap that he had pulled at least showed her that he was willing to test her and push her. "You think you could teach me something more...interesting?" She asked. "I am really not into the silly child tricks. I want to learn something awesome and then get out of this place. Sound good?" She asked with the smirk. She was an intelligent girl, and if the man put up with her s**t, she would find that out quickly.

She grinned as Korinobu told her that she had asked for it and she chuckled under her breath. "Yea, I know I asked it, but you are going to have to do something impressive enough to be able to push me there old man!" She spat, pulling her eyelid down and sticking her tongue out. Though a grin stayed on her features. It was the first time in a long time she had smiled. Hell, it was also the first time in a long time that she had been talked to and treated like this by another human being. She couldn't believe she was in the academy at eighteen years old. Hell, a lot of young kids passed out of the academy by the time they were barely teenagers, some even preteens. She smirked as she looked back over to Korinobu and quirked an eyebrow as he began forming seals. She remembered them off by heart as she watched what he was doing. She knew the seals well from observing them being used, but she was clumsy with them and hadn't trained in any ninjutsu yet. But she knew that she wanted to master it and become a dangerous adversary on the battlefield. "So, what do you have for me you old geezer!?" She called out as she watched the seals and then suddenly she felt the ground move slightly and the explosion of water echoed through the academy. She kept expecting the water to suddenly stop and rush out, but the title wave kept growing and growing until it was bigger than any of the trees that she could see, then suddenly it lurched outward, shooting off in all different directions. She stood her ground, thinking of what to do and then she took a deep breath and smiled as she ran towards a tree. Another jutsu that she knew would come in hand was the ability to walk up trees. She ran for the tree as the water came her way and she began running up it without stopping. She knew the basics of this jutsu through having done the water walking jutsu. This one was just going against a more solid surface, and so the chakra needed was slightly different. She got around the opposite side of the tree just as the water hit. The water went around the tree slightly, but being against the trunk on the back side away from the water offered her a good amount of protection from the water.

She grinned as she walked out onto the branch of the tree and looked down at Korinobu. She hopped down from the tree and grinned as he showed her the signs again, but as he began to show her, he mimicked him, doing the signs at the same time. "I caught them when you were doing them over there. A ninja should always have a watchful eye right?" She asked with a sly smirk. Her breasts pressed against the tight leather one piece uniform she wore and she threw the man a wink as she turned around. "Piece of cake. I will get this down in no time." She said, taking a deep breath. At least this would give her a powerful jutsu to learn with, something that would take a lot of skill to master right out of the academy. But it was something she was prepared to do, and something she knew she HAD to do. She had to be more than just an ordinary ninja. She had to be an extraordinary ninja. She would go to the top. To hell with the other students that Korinobu was talking about. Eventually they would become trash compared to her. She would be the ultimate shinobi. And when she was...nobody would stop her from her goal. Nobody.

On his command she walked over to the river and took a deep breath. The first part of her training she figured would be to figure the jutsu out before actually putting it to use. She had dissected it already, and knew she had to bond her chakra to the water and make the water move to her will. But that was a lot of water to move, and thus, a lot of chakra to use in order to move it with. But she would just have to get the feel for it. She took things in logical steps, like a criminal. She was smart. She sat cross-legged by the stream and closed her eyes. As an Aburame she already had a fairly good idea of chakra bonding with things, seeing as her insects were there all of her life and they had been bonded with her chakra better than anything possibly could otherwise. She felt the chakra first, and then she began to push it outward from her body. She had done very little training in using the chakras outside of the body, but it was something that wasn't all too hard to get down. She smiled as she pushed it out of her hand, feeling the chakra flow into the air around her, she recognized the feeling and she let the chakra seep into the water that lay in the creek. She felt the chakra moving through the liquid, and she forced the chakra to stick to it in a way, the chakra holding the water and when she concentrated on moving her chakra out of the water, she smiled as she felt the water pull up with it. She opened her eyes in time to see the water being raised a foot into the air and then falling into the water, stirring up a few ripples but nothing more. "Seems I have that pretty well figured out then." She said with a nod.

She took a deep breath as she stood beside the river and in a flash she put her hands into the seals that Korinobu had showed her and she felt the power begin to rise as she did the symbols, the chakra becomeing more wild within her as she unlocked the jutsu's seals. She felt a massive amount of her chakra rush out into the stream and then the waters began to stir, rumbling for a few brief moments before the water exploded upwards. But the water was not going to go the way that she had wanted it to, instead it just exploded into the air, the chakra had not been controlled enough and just exploded outwards in a blast of water that did nothing more than soak her once more and shoot water into the surrounding area like a shower or a light rain. I get it. I need to hold the chakra, I need to concentrate on using the chakra to create the form of a wave and then hold it so that it can rush outwards instead of just exploding outwards in a chaos like what just happened. It makes sense I suppose. I feel stupid for not recognizing it before. She thought to herself as she heaved a sigh and nodded, it was time to try this again, and this time it would be done right.

She closed her eyes once more and the seals came easily as she stood by the river, she was confident, and she was ready for this. She could do it, she knew that for sure. "Alright Korinobu. Watch me now!" She called as she unleashed the chakra, feeling it enter the waters of the river, and then suddenly a wave grew from the river, the water flowing from the river into the air and circling around Kiyomi. After a bunch of water had amassed around her she pushed the chakra outwards in a 360 degree tidal wave. the wave grew tall, probably about ten feet tall, so taller than most people, but she couldn't muster more than that with the amount of chakra she had at her disposal. One day she would be at the level to make a wave as big as Korinobu, but for now, this would have to suffice.
