Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takeshi felt...weird. He hadn't really talked to anyone in the village since he joined, and he still didn't really want to talk. But he had to so that he would be able to get along with others, so..."Yes, I'm part of this village, too. my name is Takeshi Ryujiin." He said while meditating. And...then he continued to meditate. He liked to be blunt.

Ronmaru's sword was a blur as it erupted from its sheath. In one fluid movement he sliced the clone in half. "Darn....I was really hoping he'd get caught in that...I'll need to play it safe with my chakra now..." Ronmaru said, utilizing the ability of his katana to manipulate water. A sphere of water formed at it's tip, and a highly pressurized stream shot out suddenly at Genji, aiming to knock him off balance.

While this happened, Ronmaru formed his handsign, and formed another clone, which disappeared in the mist along with Ronmaru. However, even though Genji couldn't see either Ronmaru or the clone, the jet of water kept firing at him.

Takeshi finally decided to stop meditating. Meditating was great and all, but he wanted to do something more physical. More...active. So he got up and made one hand sign. "Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu..." An exact copy of Takeshi appeared right next to him. "Hm..." He started to think. How much chakra did he actually have? He was sure that he could make at least one more clone, because his Crow Clones didn't use up much chakra. The crows acted as an alternate source of chakra.

So he performed the hand sign one more time. Another clone appeared on his other side. Takeshi smiled. He sat back down, and started to meditate again. His clones also followed.

Upon hearing a variety of voices within the cave, Karin smiled that her assumption was right. How many? Closing her eyes she listened carefully, two were sparring, one alone, two nearby. Within that mass, were a few clones, she believed, though slightly unsure, they could've been quiet shinobi too, like herself.

"Come one Zaine, let's go inside and get the-" Turning to look at her hand that had been holding onto Zaine's she realized she lost him. Frowning she felt stupid, she couldn't even keep track of her own friend. Growing nervous she stepped in by herself. "Any genin... in here...?" Karin managed to choke out as she stood at the entrance. "If so...I wish to speak with you," Karin spoke again, knowing they might not know who she was, since she had just been appointed as the village's Mizukage only minuts before her arrival at the cave.

She had an announcement to make to them. It'd be best to tell them in the office, all at once. That way, she could tell the whole village from the office, and not worry about having unnecessary guests know of the untimely death of the previous Mizukage. "To the office," Karin spoke once more as she turned around and left.

Shimo opened one eye wider than the other as he observed Takeshi's actions. When he preformed what was known as the crow clone jutsu he was slightly surprised that anyone in his village knew such a jutsu. Being a genin he assumed that the only other clone jutsu that others knew was the simple clone jutsu. Realizing that he had been looking up for so long pondering this thought he continued to close his eye.

A moment after he began to close his eye he heard a voice echoing in the cave. The voice belonged to someone his age possible another genin from his village. Either way Shimo didn't really care so he returned his focus to his clone.

His concentration was final broken when he heard a feminine voice calling out to all genin. Standing up with an upset expression on his face his clone placed a foot on the gourd then transformed into water which sucked into the gourd. Putting the cork on the gourd he place it back on his back. Unsure of who this woman was he didn't feel any need to raise his guard so he followed the voice out and to the kage's office.

((If you read the entire post then you'd know she left sweatdrop ))

The mist faded, and Ronmaru sheathed his katana as he passed Genji. "It was fun. We'll finish up later." He proceeded down the cave as his clone vanished. As he exited the cave, he tidied himself up a bit before making his way to the Mizukage's Office.

OF course, Ronmaru WOULD finish that spar with Genji. And he would win, no matter what. Of course, he wouldn't use as much Chakra at once the next time. He would spread it out more evenly with the overuse of C-Rank Jutsu.

(Exit, Ronmaru, to Mizukage's Office.)

Genji nervously inched his way into the cave. Kaguya Cave had always given him the creeps. He remembered the last time he was here. It was before the Mizukage's funeral. There was a sparring match that Genji was participating in that never had an outcome. Zaine, Genji's teacher was waiting for him and the rest of his team. The sight of Zaine brought a huge and brilliant smile to Genji's sweet face.

"Tsukioma-sensei!" called Genji. Genji ran up to him like a little puppy. "How are you today, sir?"
