Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You sound just like an ANBU member." He gave a chuckle. "Or someone... who has experienced life or death situations before." He stiffened himself. This girl had to have been taught or raised by an assassin at the very least. At such a young age as well. "Well, let me see your skills at least." He shuffled his robe. His eyes becoming more dim, closing slightly. His stance become slightly different, more hunched over. He gave a short, slow spin kicking the lower robe higher, a kunai flying out.

Kumii yawned from her spot on the bench. She started to stretch her ams out, but stopped with a wince. The pain; it hadn't gone away. In fact, it seemed to have gotten worse.'This is getting bad.' she thought. She shouldn't have tried the jutsu on a jounin, especially one she had totally underestimated.

She clapped her hands together to release the transformation. With that gone, she felt a little better, but she could still feel her chakra draining away. 'But I'm not giving up, so I might as well see how long I can keep it up.' she smiled at the thought and pulled her backpack closer to her. The fist thing she pulled out was her kunai holder, which she strapped around her right thigh. After putting on her other weapon pouch, she again reached inside and pulled out two headbands. One she had obtained recently when being place on her current team. The other she had received when she had become a genin. She put the Moon Village headband back in her backpack and then tied the Leaf headband around her forehead. "Sakaki. I'll bring you back, I promise." She slipped on her backpack and picked up her bundle.

Kumii remembered hearing the sound of fighting earlier and didn't notice until now that the sounds had stopped. Too bad. She had been curious to see what had happened. She headed in the direction anyways, just in case someone had seen anything. As she came near a ramen shop, she saw two girls staring at the shop with stars in their eyes. Kumii stopped next to them and looked in the direction they were, just to see if she could see something. "What's wrong?" she asked them.

"It was amazing..." The girl sighed dreamily.

"What was?"

"The Hokage, of course..." said a second girl. She sighed as well. "He is just so cool." The first girl nodded in agreement and then they both sighed together.

Shadar left his gourd in his house but he tied the Head band onto his Right forearm. He was bored and decided to go and grab a cup of herbal tea. He walked aloung side of the shops hearing the inssincent shouting and walked into his favorite tea house. Removing his Sandals shadar stepped though the wooden floor and sat at the table and order a hot cup of Jasmine and Herbal Tea. The man nodded at Shadar and left th room before returning with a cup of steaming brown liquid. Shadar placed a large amount of money on the table and drank some of the liquid. He nodded as he placed his left hand under the cup as he felt the heat and drank it in. With another sip shadar placed the cup down empty as a pitch of the brown liquid was placed in front of him as he began a conversation with the owner about his recipe.

Machi smiled widely.
"Well than, if we're going for water jutsus..."
She quickly made some hand signs.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave!"
She shouted. Exploding from the ground water rose up to her waist. She smiled. And proceded to do more hand signs.
"Water Release: Five Eating Sharks!"
She pressed her hadns to the water and out of them came sharks that looked like they were made of pure chakra. They swam close by. And Machi nodded.
"Now, do you know who I am?"
She asked smuggly.

That girl had said his sensei wanted him, Shin was nowhere to be found. His balance had returned and he was almost back to one hundred percent. After a fruitless search for Shin Heikaze gave with a sigh. He couldn't even find a trace of the jounin's chakra. However, he could find the girl from earlier's. Judging from the amount he felt, she had to be in a fight, spar, or just training. He guessed it was one of the first two as there were three other chakra sources around her and one of the others had also used chakra. A mini tornado was left in his place as Heikaze himself seemed to vanish.

Appearing in the trees around the spar between Machi and Hikiro, Heikaze moved silently and quickly until the four people came into sight. His chakra was supressed to a near undectable level. Not only did he supress it himself, his coak also held some kind of chakra cloaking properties. Squatting on a high branch, he looked down at the two who seemed to fighting. Well above the level of the water, Heikaze was careful of his position, he made sure that his reflection wasn't caught in the water below.

Sakura's eyes got wider at what Hikiro had stated. If that was true, than she must of extremely powerful strength. Could Hikiro really make the battle well with someone that is from the Akatsuki. A very evil organization. Than she noticed if she was too close to the battle field, she would most likely be in the way so she jumped onto a tree and glanced at the battle. If she even tried to cheer Hikiro on, she's probably ruin his concentration so she kept quiet.

"Machi, your an interesting one."

The clone 'poofed' as it was grabbed. Hikiro made a single two finger sign, allowing the clone to disperse into the form of a water dragon. "Water Dragon jutsu!" He directed his hand towards the girl. With his other free hand, he lifted the sand cloud below himself, expanding it to a larger size.
