Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Spark of Life

The small ninja boy walked towards the academy. He scratched his head slowly as he stayed silent. HE walked into the academy taking his seat he only saw the other nins and he didn't understand the difference between him and them. But he knew he was different. A lot different. He would not dwell on that fact for now. He was sent here to learn and make his people proud. He would do just that make them proud. However he still could not shake the fact as he looked at them and felt inferior to them. He was born to be a ninja...born to fight..born to kill. He was often looked down upon his own people for his idol being the fictional ninja The Great Destroyer. He took his fighting style from him and even his manor of dress and attitude. Once he walked into the academy he was asked his name. The ninja only held up a card giving his name and village. He was known as One. He had no last name, no other data. HE stood there with his eyes staring at the academy teacher who only scratched his head in returned. As he nodded at him, the academy teacher had met many kinds of ninjas, old, young, deaf, blind. HE would be no different.
"Hi One my name is Brooklyn..I will be teaching you the basics of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. If this okay with you will you please follow me to the back."
One nodded as he followed Brooklyn. The first human he had encountered after his own village. He looked at her as he blankly stared. She only looked back and showed him the board. She had all of the handseals on the board. He only looked at them recalling them from the basic training his 'father' had gave him. Twelve basic handseals, each representing an animal from the zodiac. Each channeling chakra from the body, for attacks or defense. One nodded as he stared at the teacher as if he was absorbing all her knowledge from her by looking. Brooklyn only smiled as she got ready to show him his first jutsu.
"This is known as Henge No Bunshun. A Basic transforming jutsu that allows you to change your physical appearance to another. These are the seals."
Brooklyn started the seals as she looked at One. She then closed her eyes and a cloud of smoke appeared and her appearance was One. One only looked at this form with a smile. He went to touch Brooklyn and she transformed back. Brooklyn looked at One.
"It is possible to do all kinds of transformation with this. But most nins use it to become invisible to blend in with other people. It is up to you, but lets see if you can do it. Remember Chanel your chakra and the handseals.
As One looked down at the ground he was worried. HE wasn't the best ninja while he was at home. He wasn't the brightest and best he was himself. Her smile gave him courage. He looked up and he started the handseals. as he did it he concentrated looking at Brooklyn. He wanted to be the best, and he would do it for himself not for the other. Not for show, but for him. He looked at her one more time and his handseals were finished. The smoke appeared and he was gone. Brooklyn only stared at him for a moment giving him a round of applause. He looked at himself in her eyes as he smiled. He was her. Brooklyn ran and gave him a hug as he smiled at him.
"You did it One! on your first try at that. Good job! "
Brooklyn had failed to tell him that he was his first student. That she was too also scared of teaching all the students afraid that she would fail him. Brooklyn looked up and she scratched her nose as she looked at him and prepared for the next lesson. Another genjutsu. She started to get more in depth with the explanation of Genjutsu.
"you see Genjutsus are illhusions. They are used to fool the mind and cause people to see what you want. However there are a few clans, techniques that make these illusions useless.These clans are the Uuchiha and the Huiden. They can see through your illusions as if they were made from a plastic bottle. There is also a genjutsu release that can cause these techniques to fall apart. However when you are using these techniques against someone of your own caliber..you should do fine. However that brings us to your next technique. Bunshun no jutsu. A Basic Clone ability that can cause multiple yous to appear. These clones arn't made with anything so a simple punch or touch will cause these clones to disappear. But they are great for a distraction."
Brooklyn showed him the handseals and once he finished she was done five clones appeared next to her. She smiled as she looked at him.
"however the more clones you make the more chakra you use..So you should conserve your chakra as much as possible. It is possible to create multiple clones and combine with this other attacks...only limited by your imagination."
She said as she looked at her student. She was proud of One at least she hadn't failed him like she failed herself a while back. She had to forget those memories. As she looked up to One and smiled again.
"Okay kid your turn."
One looked and he started the handseals. As he focused on himself. He looked up to her and she seemed unhappy for some reason. Even though she had a smile, he could feel her unhappyness. One looked and he cracked his fingers not focusing on her only on himself. He looked up and he soon changed and three other Ones were standing next to him. Nodding and giving each other high fives. One smiled as the three clones soon turned into smoke. One had mastered two techniques in a few hours. Brooklyn wasn't a failure as she so often looked to her self to be. Brooklyn looked and erased the board. As she started to write up the words ninjutsu.
"Ninjutsu as a ninja are our attacks and defense. These too use up your chakra. However this basic ninjutsu will keep you safe from some attacks. We call it Kawarmi no Jutsu..A Substitution Jutsu that will allow you to take the place of somebody or something else. Generally it is easy to use a log, or leaves, or even a person. But you must be next to something for this to work. It is as simple as this."
Brooklyn formed the handseals as she did she appeared were One was and One was were Brooklyn was at. Brooklyn smiled as she looked at the confused One.
"See the technique is also used to confuse your enemies...IF you have enough enemies around you can use this plus your Henge No Bunshun plus Bunshun no Jutsu you can fool most enemies. Simple right? Okay not as easy as the other techniques I know..but you should still try it...I am pretty sure you can do it...For an academy student you are pretty amazing sir. IF you don't mind me building your ego.."
Brooklyn said as she smiled at the small boy. Brooklyn looked at him and she cleared her throat.
"I forgot to tell you. It is easier to use this technique if you are by something..it uses a bit more chakra to grab somebody from far away but it is still possible. But go ahead try and grab me."
One looked up and he cracked his fingers again. focusing on the Ninjutsu as she called it. HE started the same handseals she did and as he did he switched places with her and a log appeared in his place. One looked and he was amazed with himself. Brooklyn started to figure something was up with this kid. A genius? Could she be mentoring a genius..impossible right. Brooklyn only scratched her head as she nodded.
"Good job now why don't you try that again but this time with a combo of the Bunshun no Jutsu and Henge No Bunshun."
Brooklyn said slowly. One nodded as all three jutsus started to roll throw his head at one time. He saw it in his head how to perform it. As he did he would execute the attack. As he started he finished his handseals and created a clone in his place that used henge no bunshun and he disappeared from the room. Brooklyn stood there impressed with his use of clones and the henge. HE even managed to hide from her sight. She eventually saw him with she activated her Byakugen. She knocked on the desk and One came out with a half of a frown.
"No no no Be proud of yourself. That was excellent. I could only see you because of my blood line. But you did amazing with your three techniques. I guess we are done here it's time to show you the next few things..Water Walking and tree walking. These are our advance techniques that most genins are capable of doing. Okay One?"
One nodded slowly as he walked next to Brooklyn. She showed him the outside coarse. She remembered it to well. As if it were yesterday training to be a ninja. Cold, killing, and ruthless..is that what they were breeding now...no more humans...just soldiers. Brooklyn shook the thought off as she handed One a kunai. One refused it as he only pulled on his coat that he was wearing and twenty of them came from almost no were. He looked and he pulled one out. She only looked at One with a confused look. Were Brooklyn was born the weapons that you had were a part of you, slept, ate, and dreamed of your weapons. Brooklyn only stared at him and she explained to him the objects of directing chakra.
"This is simple..you instead of channeling your chakra all over you...you have to put your chakra in your feet. simple right? As you have the chakra in your feet you must keep the chakra moving so that you can walk up the trees. Now most new nins are only able to do this for a few feet. I give you this kunai to mark your progress. But once you learn this it is limitless of what you can do with it. In the Land of Hidden Flame they have learned how to even walk upon Volcanoes. Amazing right? But for you right now we should focus on walking on the trees okay?"
One looked up a t the tree as he touched it he felt something that he felt in a while life. He looked and he moved his head slowly. As he moved it back and he cracked his fingers. He started to anaylize how to perform the required task of him. To simply walk up the tree. He started to move the chakra around in his body. Causing a sensation that he never had before. He didn't even know he could move it around his body like that. Maybe even causing his strength to double, causing him to smell better, but right now it was tiem to focus on the feet. One looked down at his feet and he started to focus and the chakra was on his feet. They glew slight blue as he wondered was that what chakra looked like. Brooklyn only looked at him. She remembered doing this with Master Kakashi a few years back. She was one of his last few students. He taught her but she didn't get it as fast as the others. He specialty trained her with her latent chakra development. brooklyn smiled on these memories as she cheered One on. As he approached the tree putting on foot on it and started to walk up the tree. His first foot stuck on the tree pretty good. He nodded to himself as he stuck his other foot on the tree and he started to walk. But just as quick as he stuck he fell to the ground. Brooklyn winced a bit as she watched him fall. But he quickly got up. He remembered the part of circulating the chakra in his feet was important or he would keep falling. He looked and he had a concentrated face as he started to walk up the tree even higher. He used his kunai and he marked the top part of hte tree before he fell back down to the ground. One simply stood up and he started again. As he started to walk higher up the tree marking the tree each step he took he would get closer to the top. As he started to believe more in himself and leaving the outside world. He started to walk up higher up the tree until he reached the top. He looked and once he was there he cheered for himself. Brooklyn simply clapped her hands once he was done. She had made lunch for her and her new student. She rolled out the mat and had a bowl of rice for both of them. Her favorite food was rice with just a pinch curry powder. She liked her rice spicy, One had never had spicy food. ONe had never had anything but the bland food his parents had served him. He never really had much choice in a lot of things but he was caught by surprise when he tasted how hot the food was. He smiled as he loved the taste and he went through it in a hurry. Brooklyn smiled when she saw her food being enjoyed it had been such a while since somebody ate with her that she didn't mind. Brooklyn smiled at him and she pleasantly said to him.
"This is Curry rice my dad showed me how to make it when I was a little girl. Before he went away on his last mission."
She said with more sadness in her eyes. One only looked up to her and wiped away her tear and he continued to eat as he looked down at his food and his stomach was stuffed. She smiled at him and she nodded.
"Okay..Lets get to water walking."
ONe finished the small bit of rice he had his bowl and started to walk to the lake as Brooklyn sat and looked at him for a moment. She smiled at him and then started to walk towards the river with him. She stood on the lake as she she sighed slowly and then put on her smile to stare at him.
"Walking on water is just like walking up trees except for that Water moves..So it is all about keeping your chakra balanced long enough to walk with the water.

Devoker looked around at the other academy students walking to the academy. He was actually very intimidated by them and he didn't really like fighting a lot. The only reason he had been training to be a ninja is because he liked healing people. He had always liked to help people and he thought that maybe he would be able to be a Medical Nin sometime. Devoker continued walking behind the crowd of kids in front of him talking trash to each other. Devoker had only a few more blocks to go until he got to the academy. He was determined to do good on his first day of school. He had known some of the other kids and their parents because he was working for their parents over the summer. Devoker finally got the academy when he got into the classroom and his new sensei introduced himself. Aiko introduced himself to the class with a nice, "Welcome class! I will be your sensei until you are a Genin now. If you need any help please ask me. He got up from his desk and stood in front of his class. He looked at the class and took and deep breath and said, "We will start off very quickly and we will start learning jutsus already." The class gasped and he chuckled, "Don't be worried. These are jutsus just for you guys to learn. They are easier than the ones you will learn in the future." Aiko then explained about Henge no Jutsu and how to 10do it. Devoker was already excited to learn some new jutsus. He also wanted to look at his whole class. Devoker got a book out and put it in front of his face. He whispered, "Byakugan." His veins showed on the side of his eyes as he looked around at his class. He had noticed there were a few kids that he did not know and hoped that they weren't liked the rest of the class. He noticed that the whole class had always wanted to show who was better in some way and the girls would always go after the guys who always won. Usually on the stuff that required skill and intelligence, Devoker would always win and the girls would always be all over him. When there was a fight though they would be all over the winner. They liked whoever just won at the moment. Devoker learned to ignore this stupidity and learned to cherish it when he showed that he was better. Devoker's Byakugan faded away as Aiko began the lecture on Henge no Jutsu. Devoker nodded at the end after Aiko said to begin practicing it outside. Everyone went outside on the green grass to practice. They began practicing their seals and trying to transform themselves into their friends or objects. Devoker tried to do it himself as he made the hand seal. He could feel the chakra going all around and he closed his eyes so that he could focus better. Instead of being more of his surroundings he was more aware of himself now. He whispered, "Henge no Jutsu." Devoker immediately changed into the sensei and then 20noticed that he was wearing the same clothes as he was. Devoker sighed as he released the jutsu and he turned back into himself. Devoker repeated the jutsu except this time he was wearing the same clothes as his sensei and then he began walking around. Everyone noticed him when he almost did it on his first time and all the girls rushed to him when he perfected. Devoker turned back into back into himself as all the girls came to him and began hanging all over him saying he was so perfect and sexy and stuff like that. Devoker began blushing a bit and then noticed the other guys were getting red in anger. Devoker smirked and stuck out his tongue at them. He could've sworn he had seen smoke come out of one of their ears. Aiko made a huge smiled and rushed over to Devoker. Aiko rubbed Devoker's head and said, "Good job. You are currently the best student right now." In the background, Aiko heard some curse words that were pointed straight towards Devoker. Aiko turned around and looked at the the other students and he turned into a big buff dude and the kids said they were sorry. Aiko turned back into his regular self and smiled. He waited till the others had about fourty five minutes of practicing Henge no Jutsu and nobody had finished it yet. "You guys are going to have to practice that jutsu at home." The class groaned. Aiko made the class sit down and he said, "Okay, now for the next jutsu. This jutsu is called Bunshin no Jutsu. You have to make a copy of 30yourself." Aiko continued to teach the students on how Bunshin no Jutsu works. Aiko told the class to start practicing it.

Devoker nodded and was happy and hoped that he would get these before anyone else so the girls could be all over him before. He liked it when girls make him feel that way mostly because deep inside he was really a pervert. He gets all hot and he got an erection during the time and he liked it. Devoker noticed the class had already started while he was day dreaming nasty thoughts. Devoker had seen this jutsu a lot and he had already practiced it before. Devoker looked at the other guys and said, "There's no point in trying. I already know this jutsu." The guys screamed in denial. Devoker made a handseal and two clones appeared next to him. All the girls came to him again and cheered him on except this time they came to all three of him and it made him, 'happy' again. Devoker looked at Aiko as his sensei had his thumbs up for him and he was very happy that his first day was getting so much more progressive than most of his other days in life. Devoekr had decided that day was the greatest day in his life. Devoker sat down on the ground getting ready to blow out the rest of his class with his superior learning skills. He wondered if he could be a good fighter and a good medical nin at the same time. He new that would be a good combination in his life, especially if he could heal his wounds in the middle of a battle. 10Devoker was getting ready to learn the next jutsu that his sensei was going to teach. Aiko nodded as he was very impressed with this boy and thought the boy could beat all these other kids with no problem. He didn't know that Devoker just wanted to be a medical nin though. Aiko then yelled out, "Fourty five minutes are up!" Only three kids were able to use this jutsu in the time limit and him and Devoker were happy that some other people finally learned a jutsu in fourty five minutes. "Out of the three official basic jutsus this one is the hardest." The class began getting nervous and began whispering. "Silence!" Everyone stopped whispering to each other and payed Aiko with great attention. Aiko said, "Thank you. Now where was I. Oh yes, one the hardest official basic academy student jutsus. It is called the Art of Substitution or Kawarimi no Jutsu. You replace yourself with something else around you." Aiko explained how to do it and released the students to practice it. Devoker knew that this jutsu was going to be a lot harder than the other ones that he had done. He had never heard of this jutsu and his sensei gave him double the time to learn it. He also knew that he would be the only one who figured out this technique in the time limit if he actually did finish it in the time limit. He noticed that in an hour and a half, the day would be over and everyone would be sent back to their homes until tomorrow where they probably will learn some new jutsus. Devoker tried to do the 20jutsu and he made a hand sign. He whispered, "Kawarimi no Jutsu." A big cloud went around him and the whole class looked at the cloud and watched as he got it on his first try. The class's mouth had dropped. The poof then faded away and then the whole class laughed. Devoker was still standing there with the same hand seal and his eyes closed. Nothing had happened and he had failed to do this jutsu on the first try. They were all laughing at him and Devoker screamed, "You guys can't even get as close as me you stupid brats!" The whole class had their mouth open again including the sensei and they continued to just stand there looking at him. "Stop staring at me!" Everyone, including the sensei acted liked nothing had happened because Devoker was obviously not in a very happy mood for talking. Devoker then took a deep breath in and a deep breath done. He knew that he wasn't going to just finished this one with ease. Devoker continued repeating this technique over and over again hoping that he would soon get it. Devoker was sweating a lot right now and the other kids were already down on the ground taking a rest. Devoker did the hand seal one more time. He whispered, "Kawarimi no -" Devoker fell over and his eyes closed. He motivated himself by saying, "You can do it. You are Hyuuga Devoker of the Hyuuga main house family. You are better than them. You can not fail. You must get up." Devoker pushed against the floor with his arms trembling. He 30pushed off with his feet slowly with his legs trembling. He had one more try to go and he would not be able to do anymore. Devoker did the hand seal and slowly said, "Kawarimi-" He took a deep breath. "no-" He took another deep breath and finished, "Jutsu." Devoker was then left off as a tree and he was halfway to a tree next to him on the ground asleep. Everyone looked at Devoker on the ground knowing that he had overdid himself. They were also surprised that Devoker almost did it. Aiko looked at Devoker and it looked like he was about to faint. "No one has ever done it that fast before." He muttered. "Even though he didn't finish, he would've done it if he wasn't so exhausted." One of the girls screamed Sensei. Aiko snapped out of his daze and noticed that Devoker wasn't getting up. Aiko then ran over to devoker and put two fingers on his neck. He felt and beat and smirked. "What a strong kid." Aiko said, "Everything is okay. He just needs to sleep." Aiko looked at the sun and said, "Class is over." The sun was just about to set. All the kids cheered and they unexpectedly had a burst of energy as they dashed all the way home. Devoker woke up about fifteen minutes later and Aiko was sitting next to him. Devoker looked at him and said, "Oh, I'm late!" Devoker raced off home before Aiko could say anything. Devoker got home and he barely made it in before his curfew. Devoker ran into his backyard and said, "I know I can do this. I just needed that re-healing." Devoker 40wasn't tired anymore from that rest that he just had. Devoker did that hand sign knowing he could do it. "Kawarimi no Jutsu." Devoker then was replaced by a tree trunk and noticed he was looking at where he was. He looked around and noticed that he was in a tree. "Woah!" Devoker jumped out of the tree and screamed, "Yeah!" Devoker ran in and jumped in his bed and went to sleep. Devoker woke up the next morning and popped out of bed not sleepy at all being a morning person and all. Devoker went to his backyard at since there was still an hour until he had to leave to the academy. Devoker used this one free hour to get ready for training and to practice before training. He didn't want to go to the academy and figure out he couldn't do the jutsus anymore. Devoker also hope that everyone else had figured out the jutsu so that he would have a challenge to them. He was getting more competitive at the academy but he still wanted to be a medical nin no matter what. He was never going to forget what he wanted to do. He was going to stick to his ninja way. Devoker looked at the time and noticed that his time was up. Devoker then began running towards the academy. He noticed that all the other kids were running to the academy except for the girls. The guys were all racing each other to the academy. Devoker took this time to run as fast as he could to the academy and he came in third place when he finally got there. Devoker rushed into his seat and him and the other 50two that were ahead of each other were huffing and puffing and laughing at the same time.

Devoker had never actually talked to the others as friends but when they got there Devoker was talking to the other two like they were best friends. The other kids came rushing in one after another and then the girls came about five minutes after all of the guys came except an Akimichi clan member. Devoker whispered to the class, "Look at that fat a**." The whole class laughed at him and he just ignored them and kept eating a bag of chips that he always carried around. The sensei came in and was surprised that everyone was so early. At since you guys are so early I will teach you another one today. Everyone to the park!" the sensei said. Everyone ran to the park and Devoker was tired of running when he got the park. He ran up the tree like his sensei told him and got to the top and stood upside on the branch. Aiko looked at Devoker like he was a goddess. "That kid is going to be strong some day." Aiko was rubbing his hands together as it was beginning to get a little chilly. The wind had picked up a little bit more and wondered if it was effecting the students. If it was, it was effecting them in a good way because a lot of them were progressing really fast and kept getting higher and higher every single time. Some of the other kids weren't doing so good though. The leaves bristled and some of the kids were getting hot and then 10feeling the cool breeze which cooled them off and they didn't seem tired. Aiko decided that he should continue to let them train on this one because a lot of them were using a lot more competition than with the other training. This time they could actually track their progress with how high they got and that made the do even better because they had something to do it for. "If everyone doesn't get this then no one will learn the new, and awesome jutsu that I'm going to teach you guys!" All the students stared at the sensei surprised. They all immediately got a burst of speed and a burst of progress. A lot of them got all the way to the top and the a lot of them got close. Aiko waited till all of them got to the top and whispered to himself, "I guess my observations were correct." Aiko chuckled a little bit and said, "Now everyone gather around me!" All the kids gathered around him and said, "You see that lake over there?" Aiko pointed toward the lake and all the kids nodded as he pointed. "I will be teaching you how to walk on water." Everyone was excited as Aiko explained them how to use this technique. "Everyone who does this gets ramen!" The akimichi member was the first one to the river and was faster than everyone else. They all began trying to walk on water and the Akimichi member had done it on his first try. "Wow." Devoker then began trying it and noticed that it was very simple and actually pretty much the same as the tree walking jutsu. All he had to do was focus the chakra evenly 20on the sole of his feet like he learned while tree walking. All the other kids learned how to do it pretty easily at since they had something to work for. Devoker had noticed that Aiko had been giving them reasons to do stuff so that we would do better. Aiko looked at everyone and said, "You all pass." All the students had successfully executed all the basic ninja jutsus and had done a very good job using them. Aiko like them all up in one line and began seeing that everyone could do each jutsu perfectly and graded them. Aiko had gave Devoker a perfect score because Devoker had done everything perfect. It looks like all his work had payed off. Devoker was happy that he had passed and Aiko knew that Aiko would grow up to be strong and knew there was something mysterious about that boy. Devoker made a great smile and then he began talking to all his friends who passed which was basically everyone because no one had failed the test. Devoker knew that Aiko was a great teacher and hoped that he had seen him again some time in his life and then remembered that it was highly unlikely. Devoker and friends began practicing the jutsus together and they all decided that Devoker had got the best scores in the class. Everyone went home hoping that their parents would just be as happy as their friends were as them. Devoker went home to his family and showed them and they all praised him and he was more happier than he had ever been before still not forgetting 30that he wanted to be a medical nin. Devoker was never ever going to forget that in his whole life, because that was his way of the ninja.

Water Walking (600 SP) Complete

Devoker had to go back to the academy the next day even though there wasn't class. The academy had an open grounds that he could practice. Devoker went to the academy and noticed that a lot of kids were already there. It looked like everyone wanted to become ninja and decided to stop messing around and play serious. Devoker decided not to go in the group that he was invited to, but instead replied, "I need to focus on my training." The rest of the kids realized to be great ninjas they would have to train to so they all went to go train by themselves so that they wouldn't get distracted. Devoker was planning on going to meditating. Devoker went to the shade that a tree was creating and he sat down criss-crossed. Devoker closed his eyes and then began losing thought of everything. He let his mind take him where ever it wanted to take him. He had to get inner balance inside so he continued to sit down and do absolutely nothing as it looked but he was really gaining zen, inner peace. Devoker finally closed himself from the outside and the inside and let himself be guided by his mind. His mind raced back to many different memories. He first saw his past and saw the times of his childhood. He saw himself repainting other people's shop as volunteer work and saw himself raking a lot of the leaves in the the village. His mind then went into fast forward and he saw a tree making shade. He saw himself walk over to the tree and sit down and start meditating. Devoker smiled and then his memory raced forward again all the way to the future where he was putting on his ninja forehead protector. Devoker then smiled and then all the pieces broke and he opened his eyes. "Damn it. I liked that part." Devoker got up from meditating and noticed the birds flying in a V-Shape in the sky. He felt like he was a new person. Everything was different ever since he had meditating. Devoker had always loved meditating because it made him feel good inside. He made it feel like he was a single bud and he had bloomed into a flower that created more flowers to make a flower bed. Devoker noticed the birds in the tree as they chirped and love the feeling that they gave him. He could hear the tone that the beautiful birds had made. It was so beautiful and he never heard of anything like it. Devoker took a deep breath and he pushed the floor down so that he got up and was straight up. Devoker was getting ready to pound his fist in the heart of the tree and his slam his leg on the side of it. He was going to make the tree break and fall and he would not stop until the tree fell down. "Never mind. That is a little much." Devoker rethought about it and decided that was a little bit much. He decided that he was going to to just do five hundred of each. Devoker looked at the tree and took another deep breath. Devoker swung his leg as fast and as hard as he could and then a piece of bark, piece of a tree slid down the tree to the ground. Devoker punched the tree right in it's chest and the tree bark only cracked. Devoker noticed that it actually hurt a lot more on his fists than when he kicked it. He began doing ten of each and going back and forth so each had time to rest or he would be in pain from a bleeding leg and a bleeding fist right there and he didn't want to stop his training just because of that. Devoker continued doing this over and over again and half way through it he really felt the pain and he felt like screaming his heart out and he continued going through the gradually growing pain. Devoker hit the tree harder and harder, motivating his self more and more so that he wouldn't give up. He began thinking of the things he was fighting for that he would continue and wouldn't stop. Devoker figured that if he wanted to become a medical nin, he would have to become strong first and then become a medical nin. After all, he did wanted to be the strongest medical nin of all. He knew that would be so cool and everyone would love him for that reason. Devoker noticed that he was done and that he had actually did some more than he thought he would. Devoker then fell on his bottom on the ground after working so much. He didn't even fill like getting up after that hard work that he had just done. He then lets his back fall into the air and then hit the floor. Devoker looked up at the sky and thought about how if it was noon he probably would've hurt his eyes a lot for looking straight at the sun. He made himself chuckle a little bit.

He was hiding from them, this was no fun, they had promised him that this would be allot of fun and if Kama insisted so himself, this sucked. “Kama-san… where did you go, we still have five more lessons to go through before were done for today. Come on just come out, I don’t get to go home until you finish these lessons either.” Kama blew a derisive breath through his teeth, he acted like he was a local and had a nice quaint family dinner waiting for him at ‘home’. He almost laughed, but then he quickly clamped his hand over his mouth. He had an apartment provided by the sungakure governing body, but other then that he was alone in the world. Well… almost completely alone in the world, there was the other, but they couldn’t be counted as a real person, could they? Maybe… he’d never really thought about it. His whole body stilled as he reached the peak of his meditative training that he’d done with his father. He could feel the vibrations of his soul resounding throughout his body. It was like a strange song that was unique to him, it seemed to change with his mood, light and airy when he felt carefree, dark and brooding when he was sad, it rippled with a chaotic tinge when he was angry. Then slowly, but surely another song became evident, it was different then his own, it was very much the same and yet different, possibly the only soul in the whole world who could match his song. It was like a drop of water in a still lake, the two songs had harmonized and began to resonate together. He always thought it was strange that the inside of his soul was a desert like the one he lived in now. Well it was almost the same, if one looked
closely they could see that the sand that made up these dunes was made of a silver sand. He began walking towards where he knew the border lay, it was a rather boring walk, but he had made this trek before and he knew exactly how long it would take him. “Akasun-dono, I’m glad to see you, has it come time for the awakening yet?” the voice came from a beauty that stood on the border between the desert and a flat ocean. “Tsubaki,” the name of his weapon, his partner, guardian, guide, and friend. “Nooo, I dunn think so, not yet, once we find the man of wood, then I think we’ll be ready.” Kama stood there with his hands behind his head looking up at the taller and older woman, he seemed oddly unperturbed that in her purest form she wore no clothes and her body was criss crossed with strange designs. He did blush furiously when she leaned down and pecked him on the cheek in a sign of affection for her partner. “As you wish Kama-sama, I will always be at your service. I must say that your getting better at match and melding our souls, soon if your father was right we’ll be able to fully integrate.” Kama nodded turning on his heel he couldn’t maintain the connection any more so it was back to the real world. He sighed as he opened his eyes, to find his teacher crouched down in front of him, it was unclear how long he’d been there. “you know I don’t think there’s anything left I can teach you,” Kama nodded as he leaped up with a grin and went home. He practically flew through the village, he was happy, he was following in his fathers footsteps. Soon he would be carving his own way of ninja into these sand dunes. He'd do it with these two hands and there was no one who could stand in his way to stop him. With his partner at his side there was nothing that could be done to stop them

"Stop speaking wont you!" Slade demands, though there was no one in sight, "Give me a break, what are you afraid someone will see you talking to yourself?!" A less dark sounding voice replies, before chuckling darkly. The same voice was Slade, and it was rather odd to see him talking to himself out in the open. "Just shut up, I'm in charge for today..!" The darker voice demands, growling to himself as he looks around with his odd yellow colored eyes. Fine, but we'll talk like this then, just so no one thinks we're crazy.. Slade's lighter half thinks, before smirking and falling to silence, in and out of their mind. They had just now reached the Academy. Now that the Darker half of Slade was in control, He looks around slowly. "Ugh... I'm hungry!" His darker half complains, though mainly to himself, obviously. He turns and runs forward, heading towards the Academy at a swift pace, it was time to either get something to eat, or learn something useful. Though he doubted either would actually come true. Rarely did either of his personalities clash, this was just one of those off days. Normally they would just take their turns speaking to who ever they were talking to. Rolling his shoulders in a shrug, Slade begins to circle the Academy. Slade sighs and picks up his pace, watching the shinobi around him, giving him staring glances, at his odd appearance. "Bug off, damn it!" He demands, as he turns and runs at them. One of his fists closing into a punch as he slams it into a shinobi's stomach. His flawed form of fighting, though effective, allowed for him to spin around and kick the one behind him in his chest. He smirks, spinning as his Fly-trap like appendage closes, blocking the attack of one of the shinobi. Naturally, he wasn't trying to kill them. Only beat them up a little, so he could continue on his way without people bothering him. Opening the fly-trap appendage again, he moves forward, retrieving the kunai from the ground and then attacking, slashing shallow cuts into the final shinobi, he raises the blade to his lips, as his tongue slides across the kunai's blade, in order for him to taste his opponent's blood. "Tasty..." "Yes, very!" They both say, as Slade then attacks again, causing another shallow slash with the blade. This was too easy, his opponent was not fast enough to dodge, and was now too intimidated to strike. He smirks and leaps backwards, throwing the kunai and finishing off the final shinobi. "Oops...." His light half mumbles, before he shrugs and takes a step forward, as he uses his flay trap appendage to devour the shinobi. Soon after wards, he turns, licking his lips, and walks away. Continuing his walk slowly through the forest Slade sighs, there was not much to do around here, which was the annoying factor in all of this. He needed to find something that could allow him the abilities he deserved. None of this useless academy crap. Though the Tree and Water Walking, would be useful tasks... He frowns momentarily, as he looks aver at a near by, rather large, tree. Let's give it a shot... They think in unison as they run towards the tree, centering chakra at their feet in order to allow themselves to attempt to run up the tree. With the chakra centered at his feet, he almost easily runs about half way up the tree, before the movements become strained. Though this seemed easy, it was much harder then he first anticipated. Pushing off, he flips through the air and lands on the ground at the base of the tree, frowning slightly as he does. Taking a step back, he runs forward again. This time running a little further up the tree, before dropping back to the ground. Landing in a crouch this time, Slade glares at the tree. He then takes a couple steps back, and soon runs forwards, running up the tree and perching himself on a branch high above. Smirking, he looks around from this height. "That was almost too easy..." "Yeah..." Both sides of him say, before he laughs heartily, and notices a lake in the distance. "And now we can proceed to water walking!" His light side says, as they leap from the tree and rush off towards the lake in the far distance. After dipping and ducking around both branches and trees. He skids to a stop at the water's edge. Grinning, he centers his chakra on his feet, and then slowly begins walking out onto the water."All we have to do is walk across the water, this is so easy!" Slade's white half exclaims, as he walks deeper, and deeper, though he was slowly sinking into the water itself. Frowning as he allows his odd yellow gaze to peer down at the water, he shifts in stance and then uses more chakra to force his body back above water. This was getting to be extremely annoying, and he couldn't stand it. Furthermore, he was starving. Holding the hems of his black, akatsuki styled coat, to keep it form getting wet. He slowly walks across the water of the pond. As soon as he reached the other side, he grins and ceases the use of his chakra. "Well... That was simple... yet.. I'm starving..." "Stop complaining..." He says, as he chuckles towards himself, and begins moving swiftly around the body of water itself, in order to head back towards the Academy itself. He needed to make sure he had learned everything he needed to learn, before simply heading out, and to his village, in order to learnt he jutsu he should know by now. Frowning, he continued moving through the forest again, slowing down a little, in order to walk. This is annoying... There's nothing to do.. Can we just leave? His light side thinks, No, we have a few more things to learn, so we cant just leave yet. So shut up! His dark side demands, as Slade shakes his head slowly and continues walking towards the Academy. On his way, he noticed a group of shinobi fighting not too far away. He smirks and walks over to them. Using the ability, Green Wall, in order to blend in with the trees before him. Smirking, he listens to them speak about Substitution jutsus. He sighs, slowly shaking his head and then walks out. "Those are basically useless..." He says, as he chuckles darkly and continues walking towards them. Though instead of attacking, he simply walked by them, ignoring their glares as he heads for the Academy, to which he could see in the distance. Smirking, as they yell some hardly hear remarks, he begins running, turning as soon as he reaches the Academy and heads for the exit, and the docks. He was leaving the Academy now. No reason to stay here now that he was finished with the only things he wished to learn. He didn't need clones, or substitution justsu. He didn't need petty training. He only wanted things that could assist him in some way.
