Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Cruxis is it" he nodded while watching the battle carefully.. Of course he had seen a Kage battle before but never did he remember Sai's Chakra and battle level be so high.. It almost overwhelmed him silently as he sat on his frozen chair thinking about the jutsu being performed and how he could use some of the Kage's skills to improve his own. Wow.. I havent felt that chakra in a while a strong chakra flew past him. "Yes.. Of course he is" He answered Sal as he too sat next to him to watch the battle. "Of course i dont know why but who ever needas a reason now adays" Just then Chobey, Eclips's baby dragon flew around and layed politely on Sal's lap. watching the battle as well. your way to friendly he shook his head then continued to watch the battle. "So.. what brings you sal?"

The crystal marbles that had hung in the air during the battle quickly gathered together and in a more then necessary spectacle fashion, imploded causing fragments of the crystal to shatter and glitter in the sunlight as Sai's form stood there standing calmly. His weapons were gone and the impending presence from his seals were completely gone at this point. With a sour face, the man turned his nose up and stared at the sky, "More like... can't play with the big boys is more like it." He said in a gruff manner, his hands sticking themselves crudely in his belt as he yawned lightly.

With a bored glare, Sai surveyed the damage they had dealt to the area and shrugged lightly. It was a good thing that the area was destined to be demolished in the first place, though it was curious that no shinobi came to keep them in check. Where exactly was the Leader of the village... Last he checked they were on their second or third successor from Medea Menpu. A light chuckle passed his lips as he remembered how, while the boy had been alived, that Seita had so urgently brought the news to him one night while Sai and his team spent a night on HoHo Island's shore. Seita had begged and pleaded with Sai for the entire night to allow him to assassinate the girl who he believed wasn't strong enough or seasoned enough to be a Leader. It took all night to convince the young boy to accept Sai's decision to leave her be and to understand it would bring peace faster even if she wasn't ready for such a task.

Shaking his head, Sai brought a hand up to pull back a lock of purple hair behind his ears as he watched Sentai curiously. Sorain had just left to watch other the Mist Genin, Metsuki and Washi were on their way to collect Cruxis and then do the same for the Lightning Genin. In their heed, they had left behind their equipment for Sai as his prize... A fact that made Sai almost laugh. The Raikage was more then a heartfelt fool, but at least he would make a great kage if he trained more, and Sorain knew all too well of his brothers wanton to destroy to leave him empty handed so he could pursue for more fighting. Amongst that, Sentai's own equipment was lying around, and would stay laying around as Sentai himself lit up a cig and surrendered.

Sighing lightly, Sai turned to look at the hill where Eclipse and Sal stood watching. "Guess, I'll see you at the exams Sentai. I hear there is some serious potential in here this time... Your and my generation potential if you get what I'm saying.." The man said over his shoulder, his fingers preforming a quick set of seals causing the equipment to be encased in ice before disappearing. Similarly, the man vanished from the immediate area, only to reappear before the genin with a smile.

"C'mon, time for us to go get dressed up and attend these damn exams... By the way, how did ya find me? I wasn't using up that much chakra was I?"

Sal felt the wave of chakra blast over him, That's insane, the chakra alone is so intense I couldn't imagine the blows in themselves.

As Sal spoke it came out as an echoed whisper, there was a raspy undertone that followed his voice that helped add to his alias as Whisper. "To be honest, I got lost. I was on my way to the Chunin exams and I wound up on this side of the country some how. I've never been too great with directions I guess."

A baby dragon came flying in and gently landed on Sal's lap. Instinctively Sal nearly jumped out of his seat until it hit him that it was calm. At the moment he realized it was calm he felt the urge to smack himself in the forehead, Of coarse, this is Eclipse's dragon. I can't believe I'd forgotten. "So Sai has gotten himself into another fix.. with...-" Sal nearly feel off of the area he was sitting when he realized who was fighting, "With the Kage's themselves!?!.. Is it true that Sai used to be a Kage himself? I heard once that a long time ago he was a kage of a village that no longer exists."

Before Sal had a chance to get his answers Sai himself appeared before him in a flash, out of surprise Prox jumped back wards with his yo-yo's, that had been passed down from his father, in defense. When he realized just who it was that had appeared he knew that it wouldn't have mattered if he would have jumped or not.

"I was lost and found myself in this general area, I felt some bursts of chakra and used byakugon to survey the area. I was drawn in by the intensity and the fact that Eclipse here was sitting by so calmly. I assumed you were fighting below."

Sai chuckled lightly, his hand rubbing the back of his head lightly as he looked at the two kids before him. He couldn't help feel a warm feel of pride as he did. They were both the off spring of his best students, and both of them had been taken in as his own when their parents died in the line of duty. It was a horrible realty, but through them, the memory of his students never died and he gained the ability to watch them grow up from babies to the young adults they were now.

"Once upon a time... Yes, I was a kage myself. But that was a very, very long time ago. Back when your dad was your age." The man said chuckling lightly as he crouched down to pet Chobey, his long fingers playfully moving along the small dragon's head gently. With a soft smile he looked up to face Sal and Eclipse, before sighing lightly as he patted Chobey's head and stood up straight. "In any case, be more respectful of your father, Eclipse. He's your dad." Sai said simply as he turned away and walked off towards the town expecting the two to follow behind.

Sal walked silently behind Sai the twin yo-yo's his father had passed to him after his death were both playing in his hands. He would fling one down just to watch it rise in return. As they walked towards town, the image of the fight and the amazing feeling of the chakra was still pulsing through his head. Never had Sal seen such a large source of chakra in one place being controled so expertly. It was engraved into his mind how the level between a genin and a kage can be described as a canyon's depth if it were to travel from one side of the planet to the other. If he hadn't seen it with his eyes he wouldn't have believed it. The raspy aftertone of his voice followed over as he spoke, "Sai, I was on my way to the Chunin exams.. have you seen any resaults so far?" The rasping that followed his voice could best be described as a whisper that seemed to echo his own. It was thought to have come from his trauma as a child involving his father's attempt to rescue him.

Hiking his sling for his spear more comfortably on his back, Jin made his way out of the stadium. For a moment he turned around to face the large building, a snarl of distaste showing behind his mask on his face. He really hadn't wanted to leave the box but there was no way he was going to stay in their with that loud mouth girl, it just was to frustrating. Jin should have stayed in the regular stands but they were just so crowded, he couldn't bring himself to stay their. Sora was probably at the stands for the competitors and frankly that wasn't the place he wanted to be at. The last thing he needed was to see Sora before their fight, it would only unnerve him.

Rubbing the back of his neck until his fingers curled around his spiky blue hair, Jin continued to walk through the town. There was still a long time until his next match. The tournament was only on the last fight of the first tier, their still was the second tier which had an extra fight. He would use that time to find himself a new weapon. He had found that he was rather oddly comfortable with the dual scythes that he had taken from Fujin. And just like with the guard he had taken from Washi, Jin now found himself with the urge to get a similar set for himself but tweaked to his own abilities.

Jin backed up slightly, his hand reaching around his side to touch the handle of his spear. It was a comforting feeling to always have it there, just at the tips of his fingers for protection. Turning his masked face up to the roof, Jin watched the girl curiously. A smirk played against his lips from behind the mask as he realized who she was. "Hello, Yua." Jin said. He had just lost a thousand ryo on betting on her and he couldn't tell if he wanted to laugh at how easily she had lost or beat the hell out of the girl for being the poor choice.

Pushing both situations out of his mind he waited a moment to see if there was any reason for her to have called out to him. She didn't know who he was cause she had arrived after his match, but there had to be some reason.

"Notwen vs Hisaki right now. Pretty fiery fight, no pun intended." Jin said, noting that both were pyro type shinobi. His eyes followed Yua's to the scroll on the ground and then quickly looked back at her. It was the same scroll she had entered the arena with. Whatever was in it was definitely something she needed to fight or protect herself with. Walking closer towards Yua and incidentally cutting off her main route to the scroll, Jin began to send charges of static towards the scroll. Just to be safe he would charge the scroll up before he allowed her to get near it.
