Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mura stopped flailing around like a fish (though it should have worked, if he was a fish), and he thought for a moment. The current is really only moving on the surface of the water, I think... so if I dive down, I should be able to swim under the waves and make it to shore easier... Without hesitation, Mura dove under the waves, taaking a deep breath of air before submerging. He began to swim under the water, and it was much more calm, but it made no difference, for Mura still did not know how to swim.

((4+5=9=fail))

Before anything else could happen, Mura concentrated his chakra to try Shunshin again, this time going back to the shore his stuff was at. He looked over at the shore, concentrating hard. He couldnt fail this time, he needed this to work. It didnt. Mura sighed. This is crazy... he thought.

((I wasnt on yesterday, because... I was at my "little" sisters "dancing ball" we like to do here on finland. The Graduating students dance a bunch of old dances, dressed up in old european style dresses and tuxedos...))

Ikkou got finally back on his legs standing. "Damn im gonna kill him..." He cursed as he started to walk up the wall. He was mad at Ark-sensei for dropping a rock on him only a little after he had learned to walk on walls. He slowly picked pace, and soon he was running up the wall. He had seen many people train a certain technique lately and decided try it himself. If i remember correctly Shunshin no jutsu went like this. Ikkou though to himself and started concentrating chakra and released it.
~silence~
Nothing happened. Ikkou was slightly disappointed at himself as he was supposed to release the chakra from his feet and he just...released it somewhere. "Nope thats not how to do it." Ikkou though to himself.



((Whats with the "...that other guy that just passed the exams..."?))

navalie looked around the canyon sort of and saw mura, gig, and ikkou. she then decided she would get off the large area she was on and move downwards maybe twords mura. she then hopped back onto the rocks hopeing not to fall off .she felt herself not grip the edge and held on tight.

navalie then walked down the cliff and over to the waters edge. finnaly i can do more training she thought in her head. she then walked over to a nice open area and took a deep breath. First part of training: run a few lapps. she then got ready to run and waited about a minute and then started running as fast as she couldd around the canyon. she started slowly but began tto pick up speed.she then was in her fastest and ran about 5 laps around the canyon.she hoped she would be a great ninja and become a better ranking one too.

((Hi Sakura))

Roy came to the edge of the Canyon and looked over. Me and my bright ideas... He thought to himself with a hard swallow. He moved about a bit before hearing a bit of noise. He scanned the area and found some other members of Iwagakura doing their training. He sighed a bit figuring that he shouldn't desturb those who know what they're doing. He moved about a bit and began to try to find a clear way down.

He paced back and forth before he found a somewhat safe way down. It would require him to jump a bit and he had to be quick on his feet.

This will be good speed and foot placement training.

He began to try to jump down. (say difficulty 10 or so))

He made it down in once piece and found himself quite pleased with himself. He looked back up the canyon and sighed a bit. He moved to another side of the surface and found a relativly flat surface. He looked up it for a long moment and then sighed deeply.

"Oh brother...why do I always do this to myself. " however, even with his griping, he still sucked it up and placed his bag down again nearby. Opening the flap, he found the scroll right on top, where he had left it. He looked at the scroll and began to read it to himself.

A few moments passed before he had finished reading the portion he needed. The general idea was to focus chakra into one's feet and keept that same amount of chakra constantly displaced into ones feet to allow them to 'stick' to the surface they were attempting to climb. It was about now that he wished he woudl ahve started with his bedroom wall so if he fell he'd fall on his bed or something soft at least. He groaned a bit and began to simply scratch his head a few times.

"Shoot...Oh well, nothing too it but to do it!" He moved the scroll back to its resting place in his bag. After, he found himself a good place to get a running start. The book said that a running start was the best way for beginners to get up there. Clasping his hands together tightly in the tiger seal, he began to focus his chakra to his feet. And after he got a good supply there, he was off toward the wall.
