Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takeshi rested easy after his mishap. He took a few moments to breathe easy and regulate his breathing. It wasn't planned or expected, it just happened. It was a normal bodily function, though if it had happened while Takeshi was actually performing the jutsu, he would either fail at doing anything, or get a mouthful of backfire. And during a battle against another enemy ninja, that could get him killed.

Takeshi sat back down upon the Memorial Stone to catch his breath, he wanted to make sure that he had worked out any issues that his esophagus might have. After a minute or so, he got back up to his feet, ready to try again. He took in a good breath of air, and began to mold his chakra with the air in his lungs. Unfortunately, he overestimated the amount of chakra to fuse the air in his lungs with, and when he blew out the air, he couldn't control all the chakra infused air. So instead of containing the air in a bubble, it quickly dispersed, which would only help him if the enemy was right in front of his face.

Katon (Fire Style): Goukakyo no Jutsu (Fireball Technique) Training Part 2
The learner must now circulate the chakra through the body and blow it from the body. It must come as a constant flow and not break off. Also, the chakra must come out with pressure. For every try, -2 CP. CP can be regained when resting and only while resting.
Cp: 8 - 2 - 2 (from rolling a 1) = 4
DC: 14
Formula: 1 + 2 = 3
Train: 3/4
Special: Rolling a zero automatically causes the trainee to loose an extra -2 cp and a failure for said post. (This means far too much chakra was exerted for pressure.)

| These eyes, which can see everything, could not save her. |
| I must carry the burden now, else she be lost forever, and I no better than the most unhonorable scum. |
Takeshi's Theme

10-0=10

Sticking her left leg in front of her she stretched out her arms and graped the tip of her foot with her hands. As she did so the nine year old girl could feel the muscle burn but it also felt good at the same time. Slowly the cramp went away thanks to the fact she stretched the muscle. Putting her leg back in the crossed position from before she went to continue with her training.


Focusing as much as possible on the task at hand. she closed her eyes she began the handseals. Not only did she concentrate on performing them correctly and in the right order but also in building up her chakra at the same time. After a while half of her chakra had been collected into one area. All that was left was the other half.

BARK! BAAAARRRKKKK!

Aryza's body jumped. Her built up chakra some what blew up inside her returning back to its natural flow. Kuroi's sudden bark had scared her dearly. Now what could that cub be doing? Turning her head left then right she tried to spot him. His small figure could be seen barking at a group of trees.

what his he barking at!?

The girl couldnt help but feel a bit frustrated. She had been close to another success but had gotten scared by his sudden barking that her concentration broke. Shaking her head she decided to just ignore it and continue. Maybe Kuroi would stop it soon.

Yun felt the sweet curl of his lips. His grey optics falling down upon the small animal who continued to ram into his shin. He leaned down and softly patted Kuroi upon his head, the random barks possibly signaling how he wanted Yun to continue playing. To Kuroi this may be a game, but to Yun this was serious training. He needed to treat this like a life or death situation.

He reached down grasping a nearby stick. His hand waving the object in front of Kuroi attempting to distract him, soon he shrugged off this idea and just decided it would be best to just run. Away from the small animal. Yun was excited about this, it was great, fantastic. He had a friend, his first friend who he’d ever play with. He just couldn’t believe it was an animal.

A small giggle erupting from the childs throat as he looked down at Kuroi!

“One…. Two… Thr--” Yun immediately began taking off toward a nearby tree.

His heart was pounding in his chest like the beat of a waltz on crack. His mind was heightened to a new point, as his eyes constantly began searching left and right through the growing thickness of trees. He had no idea where he was going to go, but he knew the possibility of Kuroi coming up around him was high. He looked up at a nearby tree, filled with green bushes. A silver smirk slowly spreading across the males face..

His head quickly shifted from side to side. He needed to find a way to get up the large object. He sighed in frustratiuon as he reached up with his right hand grasping the raven black hair. His fingers running through them over and over in anxiety before he finally looked up at the object.

He began concentrating a small amount of chakra into his feet. He ran headstrong toward the erect being, and planted his right foot into it at a right angle. The moment of impact came in slow motion to the child, however the flowing steps after came in super fast forward. The next he could comprehend he was sitting upon a tree branch, the very bottom one, watching below to see if Kuroi would be running up.

Kuroi wagged his tail joyfully as Yun pet him a bit. He then wagged it even harder when he saw the boy run off. They were going to continue their game! He was so happy! Finally someone to play with! Well it wasn't like Aryza didn't play with him but she was busy right now and he was so bored....At least this boy seemed friendly enough to play with him. Yun was Kuroi's first friend other then Aryza. He had never meant any other people before. He was mainly only familiar with the Inuzuka household but even then he couldn't consider any of them friends.

When Yun ran off he didn't follow instantly. The little cub decided to wait a bit and let him get a head start. Make things funner that way. And give the boy the illusion he had lost Kuroi. Making sure he always had the Uchihas smell in his nose he then began to slowly follow at first. Once he noticed that the boy had stopped moving he went even slower. Instead of going directly in the same direction he decided to take a longer path that would go around the tree he was sitting on making him appear behind the boy.

As he neared he spotted his two feet dangling off of the lowest branch. Calling up a lot of energy he sprinted forward and playfully attacked them.

7-0=7

Determined to continue on Aryza resumed her training. In all the other one she had failed alot before finally getting it down. She wasn't about to give up on this one. Sure she had failed here and there. It was normal. At least thats what she thought. Hearing some voices she glanced in its direction. Taiju was talking to some other kid. Hyuuga maybe. Aryza couldn't tell. His back was towards her so she wasn't looking at his eyes to make sure. He looked a bit familiar. Of course she had probably seen him somewhere but never meet.

Realizing she was getting distracted a gain she shook her head. She needed to ignore them. They weren't important at the moment. Semi concentrated she began doing the handseals and building up her chakra, but her mind kept on wondering towards the group nearby. Yes she was eavesdropping. She couldnt help it.

For a short while her chakra built then it stopped returning to its natural flow. She was so focused on listening to what they were saying that she stopped the training without realizing it.

Once again a failure.

Taiju couldn't help but smirk wider. Haru... What an idiot. Not only had he sided with outsiders, outsiders who were BREAKING AND ENTERING no less, but he had failed to alert the clan. Oh this would make great blackmail material later...

"...call me Tairu, as the other Hyuuga would like outsiders to think that I am not one of them."

Not one of them huh? Oh Taiju knew about that. But for Taiju it was a choice, and as usual the Hyuuga were full of knee-jerk reactions about what constituted a family member. How the clan was still kicking was beyond him.

"Don't worry about being a part of your clan. Just tell them to go screw themselves and kill them later when you're stronger than them. Then no one can say you don't deserve to be one of them. All the nay-Sayers will either be dead or pissing themselves in fear from you."

Taiju had to refocus himself on the boring statue. There was something... off about it. The statue that Taiju had been referring to was in the basement... Had it been moved to the main hall? No. With the Hokage back there was no way in hell they would leave this out in the open. Taiju would've heard if the compound had been destroyed...

"How heavy was this statue again?" Taiju grabbed the statue with one hand and lifted it off the ground. It wasn't all that heavy... Damm if only Yarotai was here. He could hold it while Taiju smashed it... What to do.

Oh yeah toss it to Tairu. "Wanna play catch with this thing? I've been quite bored since you idiots left."

Taiju tossed the statue up in the air like a pitcher tosses a ball. Then he put it down and burst out laughing like a madman. Sometimes even he wondered about himself.

"I wasn't talking about killing your entire clan. If they throw the first punch its self defense and you only beat them enough to make it look good. Haven't you ever studied strategy?"

For all of the pure, blinding hatred that Taiju had for the Hyuuga, he could certainly understand his situation. Tairu was a lot like Taiju was at that age. Naive, shunned, and hated.

"Geez Hyuuga can't you take a joke? You should lighten up. Not like you're going to live forever or anything." He sat down and motioned for Tairu to do the same. "Why you always talking so formally? Would it be SO nice being just like the rest of your clan? Emotionless pricks who rarely bat an eyelash when their own blood dies? You might find in the long run that it was a mistake to want to be like them."

Of course he was talking about his own experiences with his fellow Senju. Every one of them were stuck up assholes who wouldn't even give the lowliest peasant the time of day. Regardless of what he seemed like, Taiju did care about the people. He just didn't act in a way that was deemed socially acceptable.

Taiju smirked again, and cracked his knuckles loudly. "Call me Taiju. If you call me something like Senju-san I’ll break your legs. And that's not a threat, it's a promise," he said as if he was giving someone the weather or complimenting them about their hair. Way too calm for most people.

"But you'll never train the Hyuuga. They have their heads farther up their asses than the Senju. And I tried to change the Senju once. Then I realized it was much better for my sanity to give them all the finger and do whatever I want. Some people might call me crazy for giving up my position like that, but I enjoy the companionship of the common people far more than I enjoy those pretentious jerks."

Taiju sighed and looked at the sky. If only he could be as free he those clouds up there.

"You're lucky that you can use the abilities of the other Hyuuga. I have to special abilities of the Senju, but I can't use them. Never been able to. So I became the best at something that no one else can do. I haven't found anyone except the Hokage who is stronger than me physically. Thing is kid, you need to find what you're good at, and outshine all of your clan mates. Strength isn't loved, it's feared. They will fear and despise all that you become, because you'll put them in the shade. I could've started breaking necks, but I chose to go into exile on my own."

It should have been raining or something. The sun taunted his mood; reminding him that heaven itself scorned him.
