Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takashi sat in the classroom, not in the far back but around there. He didn't really know many people in the room, so kept to himself most of the time unless he was spoken to directly. "Alright class, we're going to start off with the Henge No Jutsu." The teacher said as he stood up and waved everyone to line up infront of him. Takashi stood up with everyone else and stood in line, roughly in the middle of the line. "We're going to do this several times just so everyone can get use to transforming." Everyone infront of Takashi preformed the jutsu quite well, all transforming into the teacher, and looking relatively close to his appearance. It was now his turn, and he quickly imaged the teacher in his head. "HENGE!" Takashi shouted, not very loudly, just enough to be heard, and now he looked close to the teachers apearance, a few things missed in translation but nothing non-fixable.
((Henge No Jutsu 1/3))

Takashi canceled the jutsu, and walked back to the end of the line. and thought of what was wrong with the transformation. First thing was first, he had to make himself taller when he transformed. A short version of the teacher wasn't at all effective if he's standing right beside him. Another thing that was needed to be fixed was the clothing. The colour was slightly faded out, but could make all the difference in a battle. Even though his first transformation wasn't perfect, it was still a good one in his mind. It was almost his turn again and while the last three preformed their thransformations Takashi just stretched his legs. The line moved up and now he was facing the teacher. He got ready again, and focused on the teacher. "HENGE!" he exclaimed while covered in white smoke only for a moment. This time it was much better, the transformation was taller, and had the shades of colour needed.
((Henge No Jutsu 2/3))

He cancled the jutsu and became covered in white smoke again. Takashi didn't wait for the smoke to clear as he walked back to the end of the line. "Ok, it seams that most of you are getting the hang of this. If you can transform into close to perfectly, you can go outside and wait for the rest of the class." The teacher stated as he now let the class continue their training. One by one, students left the classroom and headed out to the training field around back. It came around to Takashi again as most of the class was gone, but some still not really getting it. He stood ready and closed his eyes only for a moment. "HENGE!" he exclaimed again while covered in white smoke for the fifth time. The smoke cleared and there stood an almost exact copy of his sensei. He then canceled the jutsu and made his way out to the back field.
((Henge No Jutsu 3/3))

It was a bright and clear day outside, and the tempurature was mild. The field consisted of quite a few parts; A shuriken/kuni target area, running track around the whole field, sparing grounds, tree'd area, A good sized pond, and a dummy fighting area. A lot of students were sparing and working on their aim with throwing weapons, so since that was all pre-occupied, Takashi climbed up a tree and sat down on a branch, crossed his legs, and started to meditate. With his breathing slowing, he could hear more since he was concentrating on that sence. With closed eyes, he didn't know exactly were anyone was. He could hear various voices, and the contact of sharp kuni's digging their blade's into the solid targets.
((Meditating 1/3))

There was no wind really, meaning that Takashi could keep his balance on the branch with ease. If he'd been fully awake during this, he'd probably be bored out of his mind, but since when Takashi half slept while meditating it wasn't that bad. What felt like half an hour was actually only just over five minutes, this didn't bother him though. Every sound he heard, Takashi's ears pirked up and moved in that direction. Meaning that his ears were never really in one place for very long. Within the blackness of his eye lids, He'd been picturing a battle between him an some random shinobi, looking at how he'd possible do things if certain things were to happen. Most of these were counters, only one or two actual offensive tactics.
((Meditating 2/3))

It'd now been a good fifteen minutes and Takashi was still sitting on the branch. Finally the last student walked out of the building and walked around the field. Now finally a voice was able to be heard, but it wasn't sensei's. "Just like I thought, Jen can't preform the simplist of jutsu's" a boy said as Takashi opened his eyes. He looked over at the kid and then at Jen. The boy and his friends started to laugh and make fun of Jen. He knew that she wasn't the greatest, but she had a talent with weapons. She got mad and threw a kuni at the boy only to hit the target beside him, bullseye. The boy and his friends shut up, but still laughed at her behind her back. Takashi jumped down and looked at the doors, only to see their sensei walk out and walk towards everyone.
((Meditating 3/3))

The teacher waved his hands, ordering everyone to gather around him. “Ok class, we’re now going to work on the Art of substitution. Umm.... You, boy. Hit me please so I can demonstrate what I’m talking about.” A random kid walked forwards and drew back his fist. He then quickly released his punch and drove it into the teachers stomach. The teacher just doubled over and them poofed into white smoke. When the smoke cleared, A log was where the sensei use to be, and the students fist was red. The kid drew his fist back and shook it in the air, trying to remove its soreness. The teacher walked through the crowd and placed his hand on the boys shoulder. “Don’t worry, it’ll only be temporary. You didn’t break anything.” He then walked past the child and turned back to the class. “Ok, I want you to pair up and try this youselves. Once you and your partner complete it, you may go do what you please for now.”
((Art of Substitution 1/4))

Takashi looked around and saw that Jen was the only one without a partner, not because she didn’t have friends, but her friends chose different people instead of partnering up with her. Takashi walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. “You want to try first, or should I?” he asked as he looked at her. “Um.... can I go first?” she asked quietly and shyly. He nodded and got ready to strike her. “Ready?” he asked as he reared up his back leg and got ready to kick. She nodded and Takashi released his strike opon her. The kick landed on her ribs, and moved her slightly before there was a poof of white smoke covering and a log flying from the smoke and landing over on the side.
((Art of Substitution 2/4))

Takashi looked around partially and noticed Jen over by the forested area. He walked over to her with a smile on his face. "That was really good, want to try it again or should I go now?" she shrugged her shoulders, not really caring. "Wow.... did you see that guys? she actually did somthing correctly." The young boy said with his friends as they pointed and laughed at her. Takashi could tell it was bugging her and thought for a moment. He'd gotten an idea and looked back at Jen. "Just ignore them.... I've got an idea that will make you feel much better. I want you to punch me in the face ok. Don't worry about hurting me at all, I think I got this jutsu covered."
((Art of Substitution 3/4))

Jen nodded as she reared up and instead of punching, she was going to kick him. He moved over to the sparring area, well close to it anyways. Jen nodded signalling that she was going to kick and did just that. Jen felt a smack on her foot and saw Takashi poof into smoke. It was odd for her though, it wasn't a hard surface, but softer then a log. Once the smoke cleared, Jen could see the boy that was causing her greef lying on the ground not moving. She held her hands to her mouth to keep her from yelling. "I don't think he'll be making fun of you any more." Takashi said as he he walked over, and told their sensei what'd happened and went to train more while other's finished up with this training.
((Art of Substitution 4/4))

daichi walked outside looking around and blocking his face from the suns light. It was a beautiful day to be out it was an even better day to be out training daichi had to do this he couldent accomplish jutsu seeing as he gave his chakra up. but that was his choice and there was a reason behind it but even if his goal hasent been accomplished yet. He could still have fun and look at the bright side to things. while he was day-dreaming his sensei called out "daichi get over here". daichi quickly ran over " ok it's time for Shuriken/ Kunai Target Practice this was daichi favorite part of the day it not only helped him with his targeting but he also used the training for his bombs.

((Shuriken/ Kunai Target Practice 1/2))

"ok daichi i want you to hit the targets try to hit the center" daichi had heard this explination before so he was'ent really paying attention. but he knew he at least had to pretend to listen after his sensei had finished daichi threw four kunai three landing across but one forged off of the path daichi orgienally intended and landed in a tree. sighing daichi quickly sent off a pack of shuriken " come on land close land close " he thought watching the shuriken spin towards there predetermind target. " yeah" daichi said jumping up they all landed in the areas that he had wanted. When training was finished daichi followed his sensei to the track he knew what was next

The Aburame silently copied her sensei's handsigns. Her pace was slow, so she wouldn't mess up. Getting each handsign perfect on the first try. Kikuchi was always a perfectionist in a way, she wanted to get everything on the first try. But for now, she manuvered each sign slowly. When she was more used to it, she would go faster.
"Bunshin no jutsu," she said, neither a shout or a whisper, more in a mono-tone way. In a puff of smoke, a clone of herself appeared beside her. However, some of the details of the clone was flawed, greatly. For one fact, her clone was a shorter. Not short in anyway noticable, but there were great ninja out there that could tell the difference. Not only that, but instead of blue-black colored locks, it was more of a dark, dark, brown. She lowered her hands to her sides, pointing out her flaws, and looking at her sensei for further instrutions.
"Pretty good for a first try," Reiko smiled,"Now, try again, put more feeling into it this time,"


{{ Bunshin No Jutsu: 2/3 }}



Kikuchi stared through her shades at Reiko-sensei. 'Put more feeling into it'? She couldn't possibly do that. Her expression was always the same. Maybe changing slightly, a small smile or a tiny frown. That was it. She had never raised her voice any louder than how she regularly talks. Which was very rare. She observed other ninja doing the same jutsu she was practicing right now. They would usually shout the jutsu, before doing it. Kikuchi gave her sensei a small nod.
Preforming said handsigns a second time, Kikuchi concentrated a bit harder, "Bunshin no jutsu," she said again, slightly louder than her usual soft voice. Clouds of smoke popped up, surrounding herself. In less than a few seconds of clearing smoke, a clone of herself stood beside her. No flaws noticable this time. The clone and the creator were exact. Reiko smiled.
"Great job, Kikuchi," he said, chuckling, "You aren't much of a talker, are you?" he admitted, rubbing the back of his head, "Communication between sensei and seito is the key to great achievances,". Kikuchi, without hesitation, made her new creation disappear.
"Understood,"



{{ Bunshi No Justu: 3/3 Completed }}

She nodded, slowly. Without haste, she swiftly concentrated as she did her handsigns. "Henge no jutsu," she said, closing her eyes as the clouds of smoke appeared around her. As the smoke had started to disappear, Reiko had a look of skepticisum on his face. Kikuchi, looked at herself, wondering how bad of a job she did. The only thing that had changed was her clothing.
"Uuh, nice job getting my clothes right," Reiko chuckled. Kikuchi, wearing Reiko's outfit, a chunin jacket with dark-blue shirt and pants, let out a small disappointed sigh. She transformed back into her original clothing, looking down, with self-hatred. Reiko saw how disappointed she was and reasurred her, "No, no, its good! You don't expect to get it right the first time...Give it another try," Reiko insisted.

{{ Henge no Jutsu: 2/3 }}

This time, Kikuchi examined Reiko's appearance. Tall and skinny, but a little on the chubby side. Built well, but not too well. His dark brunette hair, reaching down slightly to his shoulders in long strands. He wore his headband similar to that of Haruno Sakura. His skin tone, was a light crispy brown, but could use some tan. Kikuchi nodded, confirming that she had saved his image in her head. With concentration, she preformed the jutsu again, hoping this time wouldn't be a disappointment.
As the smoke cleared, she looked upon herself. A small satisfied smile appeared on her face. Or shall we say 'his' face. She was almost an exact copy of Reiko, maybe even could be mistaken for a clone of his. With that, Reiko gave an approved thumbs up and smile. Kikuchi returned to original appearance, smiling a few seconds more, then going back to her quiet and resvered face.

daichi ran up to the weights he picked up one's that were heavier than what he normally used. He knew as he started to get tierd he would start to fell the weights getting heavier so it would be a good challenge. As he straped them on he waited for his sensei "ok daichi i want you to run five laps then i want you to try five more with the hurdles .
daichi nodded as he arched up getting ready he counted down to himself.
one...two...three daichi ran down the track it was'ent that hard for him at first he was running slower than what he ran usually but he was saveing that energy for when he got tierd.

((Weight running 1/3))

running his third lap was whn daichi really started to feel the weights now was the time. daichi shifted into overdrive useing the energy he saved up. it was'ent going to last long he knew that for sure but it would keep him going long enough to finish. daichi was now on his fifth and final lap he was going to finish fas so that he could still get some rest in before his sensei finished with the hurdles.

((Weight running 2/3))

As daichi ran his last lap he ran stright for the bench he knew he had at the max two minuites before sensei kentaro finished but he still timed him daichi thought he liked seeing how fast he could finish the lap daichi's sensei nodded daichi nodded back giveing him the ok to start he knew he had always tried to beat his own time his sensei was that competative so daichi always humored him daichi watched him as he finished he ran up and said "nice twenty six seconds better then last time" don't try to sugar coat me daichi you still have to do the laps i know i know man try to give a compliment to a guy and he think you'r trying to soffen him up daichi got into his ready position this time kentaro sensei counted down to start three...two...one... start daichi ran as he got tierd more of his canine insticts started to kick-in panting starting to lean forward to run an all fours as daichi even when he jumped the hurtles he jumped head first as daichi compleated the hurtles he jumped on top of one as soon as he finished still panting he started to set up more stright but he could hardly move afterward so he took the weights off his legs felt lighter but he still was ready to go he quickly put his weights back and sat down for a while even though he was ready daichi could'ent exert himself and he knew this so he sat down for a while ready for his next training exercise

((Weight running 3/3))

The next day, Kikuchi returned the exact spot she had seen her sensei yesterday. In front of the acedemy. She decided she would stare at the sun anymore. She came, not only to finish her training as an acedemy student, but also to become a genin, take the chunin exams and advance already. She heard the exams were soon. Very soon. She had to train quickly today or she'd never get a chance like this again for months.
At first, Reiko wasn't there. She stood there, under the shade of the tree, not moving a single inch. Maybe moving her gaze to a butterfly or two. Until finally her sensei had arrived.
"Late..." she said, softly. Reiko smiled nervously, rubbing the back of his head.
"By, what, two or so minutes?" he sighed. Kikuchi said nothing in response. Clearing his throat, Reiko began, "Ok, for today's training, I will teach you chakra control," Kikuchi listened intentively, yet shown no real emotion torwards it. "It will begin like so," Reiko said, putting his hands together in a handsign, and concentrating with his eyes closed. Visible chakra could be seen, all concentrated on one area, in his feet. Kikuchi continued to watch her teachers demonstration. "In this lesson...We'll be walking up trees," he said with a grin.

{{ Tree Climbing: 1/6 }}

The Aburame looked at the tree that she and her sensei was under. It was small, but the branches were spread wide enough to cover a big amount of the area. It was a short tree, not exactly short, but not 18 stories high. A perfect tree to test on. So if she fell on her first try, she wouldn't get hurt so bad. Kikuchi's slender face looked back at Reiko.
"Oh, you won't be practicing on this tree," Reiko said with a smirk and chuckle. Kikuchi frowned, slightly. Not this tree? Was this tree too good? Or was it not good enough? Kikuchi would've asked these questions out of her mind, but knowing her, she wouldn't say anything unless needed. Reiko chuckled are her silent confusion. "No, no, this tree is terrible for training," This made the Aburame make a very noticable frown. Terrible? He mentioned his hand for her to follow him and started to walk off. Kikuchi tilted her head slightly. He was obviously going to lead her to a better tree. With a small shrug, Kikuchi follow her sensei.
In the training grounds, the tree tops were almost out of sight. The trees taller than sky-scrapers. Kikuchi stared at the top of the tree, with a small gulp. Reiko patted the tallest tree in the training grounds with a smile. "Now this is perfect!" he said. Kikuchi's shades reflected the sunlight. Since she was looking directly up to see the height of the tree. She finally lowered her head back down to her sensei. He concentrated his chakra to his feet again and put a foot on the tree. Kikuchi observed him, taking mental notes. Reiko then lifted his other foot off the ground and onto the tree beside his other foot. To Kikuchi's surprise, he was standing hoizantaly, defiying the laws of gravity itself! He gave a wide grin, looking at her astonishment. The Aburame kunoichi looked down to her feet then concentrated her chakra to follow her sensei's example.

{{ Tree Climbing: 2/6 }}


Chakra was visible, showing around her feet. Not as largely as Reiko, but showing chakra none the less. She then walked over to the tree and put her left foot on it. Reiko watched his student, making sure she was getting it. Kikuchi had a somewhat determined face on, concentrating the chakra immensely. She felt the pressure in her feet as it started to click to the tree. Now she had to do the same with the other foot. Kikuchi concentrated harder, trying to equalize the chakra from her left and her right feet. She took a breath and then lifted her other leg onto the tree trunk. As both feet were on the tree she gave a small satisfied smile. Reiko nodded in approval, "Nice job," he said, "But I didn't say 'Tree standing' now did I? Now its time to climb!" he said, chuckling. Kikuchi refused to let out a sigh, but no other thing would represent how she felt right now. Having accomplished something she thought was so difficult, only to realize there was an even harder task to fufill. "Just keep concentrating your chakra and put it into walking instead of standing," Reiko explained, starting to walk on the trunk of the tree as if it were childs-play. Kikuchi looked from her sensei to the trunk below her feet. She was somewhat scared to move. She thought if she moved in anyway, she would lose chakra and then fall off.
