Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing that Taiju would help them her eyes grew big. No longer was Aryza sad and frustrated. She was now back to her energetic self....maybe just a tad to hyper.

"REALLY! You will help! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you" she paused to take a breath. "Thank you!" She was barely keeping herself from hugging him. It seemed to be a bit too much for now and he didn't look to be the hugging kind of guy. Still with the rush of energy she pick up Kuroi a began to speak to him.

"You hear that he is going to help us! But we can't do anything till you get all of the seals down first!"

Putting the cub back down on the ground she made a seal. The Tiger. "Ok get this one right!" As she waited for Kuroi's answer she turned her attention back on Taiju. "Well.....we can't start on something till we have the seals down......"


Kuroi didn't fully understand what was going on. One thing he knew was that he was in trouble and so was Aryza in a way. He could tell by the Chuunin's tone of voice. It was threatening. He lost whatever desire he had had to chance the butterfly. tilting his head down he whimpered a bit. A sign that he knew he was in trouble. He heard the girl speak to the other human and his reply. Whatever he had told her had gotten her excited and before he knew it he was being pick up by her. She spoke to him no longer in a mad or sad tone of voice but as her usually self. When he was put back on the ground he realized that she wanted him to resume telling her what each seal was.

Taiju looked down at the pair, keenly aware of how they were doing. Once again his brand of discipline kept those who went astray in line. He really just wanted to go back to his old job. Perhaps if he was able to coach a few students to success... He might just get his job back.

Maybe, just maybe, Taiju would be able to have a positive impact on someone. He was a brute, although everyone loved to remind him of it. It wasn't as if he had forgotten, people just loved poking fun at the useless muscle-head behind his back. At least the girl had the guts to say something to his face, unlike the spineless worms that normally came his way.

"Good. Try to switch between the signs faster to train his observation. He'll need to be able to focus on multiple things when you do this in combat."

((+2 to Aryzas next roll.))



Minoru stirred and looked up at the blazing sun. He couldn't remember when exactly he had fallen asleep, but it had to have been hours ago. It appeared that only a large man was working with a young girl and her black dog. It didn't appear to concern him at all, and so he skulked off in search of other, quieter places. In all honesty, he wasn't really sure what to do next. He didn't care to do any more boring training sessions; no he would strike out on his own and pursue something that interested him. Absent mindedly he grabbed his kunai; he would need to figure out how to train himself with the taken-for-granted weapon. With a purpose in mind, Minoru set off towards the library in search of kata to master.

The poor cub couldn't keep up with her. She was moving through the seals faster then he could manage. Every so often he'd see one he'd recognize but then it would quickly disappear. It all seemed to go by in a blur.

Fast. Too fast...

He felt dizzy from all of it, as if he had just spent the last ten minutes chasing around his tail. Even though he could tell that she knew she was going faster then he could manage she didn't slow down though. From the looks of it he was going to have to either get used to the swift movements fast or just give up. Giving up was not an option for him. Giving up meant no treat and Aryza would be disappointed in him.

She was going to fast for him. It was obvious he was getting a bit dizzy but still she didn't slow down. He would have to learn sooner or later. THe sooner the better. She continued without stopping. Her hands were beginning to feel swore but that didn't make her stop. Pain was a part of life especially for one who wanted to be a shinobi. She had to learn to deal with it.

Come on Kuroi I know you can do this. You have been doing fine so far.

She was wishing with all the hope in her for success. She was taking so long in teaching Kuroi that chances were the others were already on the henge or further. Regret began to emerge but she made it subside. There was no point in dwelling on her mistake besides she had Taiju-san to help her. Her hands moved from seal to seal till getting to the snake.

He paid close attention to the hand seals and was just about to answer when something shiny passed by the corner of his eye. Instinctively out of curiosity the young cub looked to see what it was. He tilted his head to teh side but whatever had been the cause was now gone and not only that but when he returned to face Aryza she had already changed the seal. Now he was lost and confused. He couldn't remember which one it had been anymore. Kuroi was left with no choice but to start watching the seals all over again and wait for her sign to answer.

Yes, yes, yes...............NOOOOOOOOO!

Aryza screamed inside of her head. He had been so close again and something had to catch his attention. She sighed. Once again she wasn't one to speak. She got easily distracted too. But still....he had been so close. Sense he had lost his focus for that moment she switched the seal and began going through them again. Hopefully it would tell him that she wasn't going to wait or give him the opportunity to get distracted again. He need to concentrate as hard as he could on this task.

Monkey, dog, dragon, hare, ram....monkey She stopped for a brief moment on that seal. Once again if he didn't answer in a couple of seconds she would switch again.

Aryza grinned. That was the second to last seal! Now all that was left was for Kuroi to get the monkey seal. She didn't do it right away though. Pausing for a while she began to think of what to do now. It was completely obvious to the cub which one was the monkey because it was the last one left. Remember what Taiju had said about training his observation she decided to go through all the seals again. One by one and quickly. This way she could really see if Kuroi knew them or not.

Taking in a deep breath she formed the seals. After each seal she gave a few seconds for her pet to answer. Whiter he answered or not did not matter. She would move on regardlessly. She had complete confidence in her cubs abilities. She was sure he could do this.

Rat, Ox, Snake, Dog, Monkey, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Hare, Bird, Horse, Boer. She thought to herself as she made the seals.

Seeing the seal Kuroi knew what it was. Actually he had known what it had been from the beginning he just hadn't answered correctly because of little distractions. He stopped when he saw Aryza thinking. What was the girl planning? It didn't take him long to figure out. Once again she made the seals but this time she was expecting him to answer all of them in a row. He gazed at her hands and each time she paused he quickly went to answer. He wagged his tail a bit. He knew that if this went well he would get a treat in no time.

Kurenai walked along with her little brother in tow. She led him by the hand and smiled because of the sight off into the distance. She could see the tips the Hokage Monument peeking out over the treetops. We're almost there now; just like I promised you dad. A slight tear drop formed in the corner of her left eye and she gently wiped it away before he little brother could see it. Kurenai could see a pair of people training in open field but she dared not to call out to them. During they travels they couldn't trust anyone and even now on the edges of Konoha Kurenai still did not feel safe. Kurenai and her brother continued walking until they were nearing the village gates.

In order to properly who Kuroi what he needed to do she went and did the technique again. Just like last time she did it right with no problem. The chakra flow felt exactly the same way it had when she had done it the first time. Smiling with her self she released the Jutsu. Suddenly she felt tired. Her chakra was low really low. She wouldn't be able to do another one for a while. She'd help Kuroi while her chakra restored itself.

Looking down on the little cub she saw that he failed and miserably too. He hadn't even come close to looking like a rock. As a matter of fact she had no idea of what he looked like. She laughed at the image he was making but then stopped. Getting down on her knees she looked at him. How would she explain what to do to a wolf?

Henge no Jutsu:
The Students will each obtain a small pebble. Roll 1d20. You must get a 13 or higher to successfully transform into the image of the object. Each student is expected to complete this 5 times. Attach the following to each training post:
Cp: -1
Formula: 1d20 + Chakra mod.
Train: 2/5
If a student successfully performed the Jutsu, he loses -1 Cp. If a student failed an attempt, he would still lose -1 Cp. To regain Cp, they have to rest for one post and gains back +1 Cp.
Rewards: +1 Chakra

CP: 0/2

Kuroi looked puzzled at her for a moment. She spoke to him pointing towards the pebble in front of her and some other things. Apparently she was explaining it to him but it didnt really serve much. He couldn't understand half of it but he did believe he got somewhat of what she was trying to explain. Some how he was supposed to make it so he too looked like the little stone. Seeing that she was going to demonstrate it. Once again he watched as his sweet little owner was now a pebble. Quickly she turned back again. It was his turn to try now.

Walking closer to the pebble the young cub stared at it and stared. Something in his body began to stir. It felt odd but good at the same time. What was this sensation? His concentration broke when hearing Aryza laugh. Her laughing was both a good and bad thing. Good because he had done something cute and amusing but bad because if what he had done had been amusing then it meant he had failed.
