Welcome to Gaia! ::

dEx looks around and notices a pile of leaves.
"Is it okay if I use these?" asks dEx as she points at the leaves.
"Sure, as long as you clean it up when you're done." says Kiba with a grin.
dEx nods as she fills the replacement with leaves. Kiba and Shadow go to one side of the yard and waits for dEx to finish. When she finishes she vanishes into the nearby trees. Kiba throws Shadow out into the middle of the yard so that he slides creating a dust cloud.
dEx jumps down and grabs Shadow and puts the replacement down when the dust cloud was at its thickest. She and Shadow go to escape into the nearby trees when the replacement explodes sending leaves all over them. Kiba smiles.
"Now you see why I made that suggestion."
dEx and Shadow are on the ground covered in leaves laughing. dEx repacks the replacement and prepares to do it again.
Again Shadow is tossed out and dEx jumps in and put the replacement in his place as they head for the nearby trees. Kiba smiles and jumps at the replacement. As he gets close it explodes covering Kiba in leaves.

Kama shrugeged off his coat, his body was coverecd in sweat, he had spent the last day training here in the woods getting to know his new puppet better. There was a large clearing now at least 50 ft. wide fallen trees suronding it. He stod with his hadns extended out in front of him he was surounded by and impressive array of wepons almost every technique he had maastered was manifested here. The ground under his feet was ice cold because well... it was ice he stood atop a colum 10ft high. From a fingers sprouted many chakra strings holding and controlling his various wepons they were all present. His first unamed spider puppet, his largest Ryu slowing flaping imense wings to stay afloat, Dawn, Noon and twilight standing around him in a triangle on top of the ice pillar, His 7 blade rotated in circular pattern around the collum, Kodo which had been found to able to create clones of itself stood in a ring of ten around the bottom of his pillar of ice. There were even a large group of tigers sitting around the pillar all of them made of his speacial exploding clay." very impressive... if I remember this right your name is kama?" With kama's concenttration broken he could no longer hold his balance and he sliped and fell right off his tower. "yes Sakura-sensei I can back to train here because I heard that they were already preparing to have another set of exams and I wished to help." "do you really think your prepared to go back to those exams there quite brutal, its not something I would want to do myself, but that aside we should begin now if you hope to be ready." kama nodded sakura threw a cloud of kunai at such speed kama could barely see them when he finally caught sight of them again they were lodged in his pargee pillar each one of them had a note and a small bag attached to them. kama went over to see what they were. but sakura threw another kunai that cliped a few hairs off his head 'what the hel!" kama didn't get to finish the last kunai conected with his tower and the seals took effect blowing his tower to smitherines and scatering cherry bolosoms everywhere. "its beautiful.... and deadly...." kama laughed and turned half his face is covered in soot.

dEx is sleeping soundly around dawn. She is suddenly awakened by a knocking at the bedroom door. She is so startled that she jumps up and falls out of the bed with a crash. Shadow, who was sleeping at the foot of the bed jumped up and looks at dEx.
She was lying on her head and neck on the floor with her legs against the bed. Shadow growled at the door. She turned and looked at the alarm clock on the table behind her. Her aunt and uncle usually got and went outside to train by now.
"Who's there?" asked dEx in a growly voice as she sat up on the floor and rubbed her head.
Before her sleepy mind could wonder too much more she got her answer.
She heard a familiar barking behind the door.
"Come on sleepy head. It's time to train." said the voice on the other side of the door.
"Cousin Kiba!" exclaimed dEx as she jumped up to let Kiba and Akamaru in.

Kiba and Akamaru lead the way out of the room. He went through the house and into the back yard.
"This is as good a place as any to teach you this technique." said Kiba stopping in the middle of the yard.
"So what are we learning today, Kiba?" asked dEx as she joins Kiba in the middle of the yard.
Shadow and Akamaru begin running around chasing after birds and other animals in the yard. They almost catch a bird when they team up on it. Unfortunately, they were running and ran into each other and the bird had a chance to fly away.
"Today I'm going to teach you and Shadow how to do Beast Man Clone.This technique can be used after you've used the Quadruped Technique. When I use this technique Akamaru transforms to look like me. Then we can attack together. It also works the other way around so you could copy Shadow, but this one generally comes in handy more often. Watch me."
KIba tosses Akamaru a soldier pill. Akamaru eats it and then his fur turns a deep shade of red.
"Ohhhhhh...AKAmaru.

Shadow barked enthusiastically. dex initiated the Quadruped Technique. Her nails grew out like sharp claws and she had chakra all around her body. Then she got on all fours as Shadow jumped on her back.
"Owww. Shadow you need to go on a diet." said dEx as she struggled to hold up the dog's weight. Shadow whined while Kiba laughed.
"Hey, you two will have to work on that. Shadow is much bigger than Akamaru. Form the technique.
dEx formed the tiger seal.
"Beast Man Clone."
Nothing happened. Kiba laughed. dEx looked puzzled and Shadow whines and puts his head down.
"Try it again. Be sure to focus your chakra. Shadow, you need to focus too. If you're distracted the technique isn't going to be inclined to work correctly."

He pulls himself back up and tries again. He seems to get it down. Then he tries running. He stumbles a bit and has a hard time balancing at first. Finally, he's running circles around everyone.
"Yay, Shadow!"
Shadow comes over to dEx. The two dEx's high five and laugh.
"I want you both to run around. Move at your best speeds and change direction often dEx. Get Shadow so that he can follow your movements perfectly."
The two dEx's nod. dEx takes off running. Shadow takes off right behind. She runs full speed and begins dodging. Shadow is a little behind at first and a little slow with the change in directions. After a couple of minutes he seems to been keeping up with dEx's speed. Shadow begins focusing on her movements. He finally starts to mimic her movements perfectly. They run to the center of the yard and each take off to opposites sides of the yard. The both run jumping off of trees and then lunge at the same time toward Kiba. He dodges them as they land and high five again.

Kama stood his concentration was at his ut most he spun around launching his kunai in a quick flash the last one follwing after the first 7 kama concentrated trying to guide the kunai with his pure will the first 7 struck the tree he was aiming at in a perfect circle. the last thuded in the center it then only took a moment and the the middle one went off setting the others of and creating a huge cloud of blossoms, perfect for escaping purposes..... Sakura claped catching a blossom in one hand. "very good a bit hasty but still good. You have somewhere important to go I can see it in your eyes. You can go now you've mastered the cherry blossom snow storm and I don't plan on leaving this village for a while. Oh! before I forget the reason I was sent out in the first place was to give you this." Sakura handed him a scroll he cracked it open and read. It told him he had been chosen to be an exaiminer and that some of the other chunnins had already acepted. "cool" was all kama could think he might be able to collect a few more gennin puppets as he headed for the docks.
