Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Very well" Hatsuma stated simply as she stood up and made her way down to the open area of the room. Turning she gave a light bow to the proctor before beginning, this signified him as the target for a certainty. in a quick rush forward she began a hand to hand onslaught, it was swift and numerous thanks to the two additional arms of hers adding extra strikes into her combination.

The form wasn't refined and resembled a high class form of street fighting. the proctor had little trouble guarding against the attacks and was even able to send her off balance backwards. Hatsuma turned the balance issue into a momentum boost of a back flip, all four of her hands touch the ground before landing on her feet. Immediately she proceeded into two sets of hand seals both being the same the bottom going a bit slower.

The first series finished and she slashed the air in front of her with her upper arms. a sharp torrent of air emerged from the ends of her hands and launched towards the proctor. The proctor seeing the technique and knowing it well manuvered into a low crouched stance just in time for Hatsuma's second series of seals to finish.

Hatsuma unleashed this set in a similar manner to the first cutting the air in a downward angle to target the proctor as the technique unleashed along with it was a thin white film that extend from her hands. The air waves carried the webbing at a more rapid pace then they would travel alone.

In response the Proctor swiftly unsheathed a kunai and slashed at the crescents in front of him. Had it been only the force of the wind that would have been enough however the webbing added an extra weight to the technique that caused it cling to his deflecting arm which in turn threw him to the ground and held his kunai to the floor firmly. Releasing the Kunai he stood once more and dusted himself off.

"Very good, please be seated..." he stated gruffly before looking over the student list and proceeded to continue through the examination of the other students after Hatsuma seated herself once more. After several hours the room had finished with the assessment process and the results would be announced to the individuals.

"I'll give the results in the order I did the assessments, firstly Oasis, your technique was indicative to that of a support role in the shinobi role and from the papers I've looked over of yours you also have high marks in medical knowledge and the like, in light of this you will receive your headband and additional gear befitting that of a medical Shinobi, congratulations." he stated calmly which was followed by a light applause from the other students.

"Fuyu in light of your chakra control regarding you and your environment, you would well fit the role of a sensory shinobi, you have rather high marks in many of your classes but none greater then your control over chakra, this is beneficial to that of sensing class, you will receive your headband and additional gear for your area of expertise. congratulations" he explained and that was followed by a light but apparent applause as well.

"Hatsuma, your talents are apparent, you show rather good natural talent and instinct in Taijutsu as well as exceptional agility in both evasion and hand seals and are therefore more suited for combat. you will receive your headband and gear appropriate for your field, congratulations." he finished, the applause was similar to Fuyu's in that it was more out of courtesy for the proctor then the actual graduate. The proctor proceeded through the rest of the students, only picking out a small handful more that actually graduated and giving bad news to the many others.

"Those of you that passed will head towards the main office to receive your headbands and gear, those of you who didn't reflect upon yourself and grow stronger." the Proctor finished and turned to leave through the door he had entered through leaving the students to their own.

When Fuyu heard that it was Hatsuma's turn, he kept his ears open to anything that might give way on what she was going to do. His eyes were starting to bother him quite the bit so he thought that it'd be best to save the trouble for later. As he appeared to be looking onwards, he could hear the sound of strikes being made, but with the dull sounds they were it was most likely that they were blocked. Then there was silence for a moment. Then thing he heard was suffling and then the proctor spoke.

As he sat in his seat and pretended to pay attention, Fuyu just was focusing on letting his eyes rest, rubbing them every now and again just to keep them ready at a moments notice. It was a while until every student was done, then the proctor started announcing who'd graduated and who didn't. He grinned hearing that Oasis was most suited for medical purposes, and had passed. It was good to hear, but when his name was called and told that he passed, his grin widend a little more. The type of shinobi didn't bother him, he was just glad that he'd passed after being told it wouldn't happen for so many years. Then it was Hatsuma's turn. He figured the way she spoke, that she'd pass and she was correct. The rest of the students were mostly dissapointed but a few had made it through as well. While all of that happened, he could hear Oasis yelling and chanting as the three of them were told they passed. To be honest, he didn't hear her must during the examinations so it was a wake-up call for him to suddenly hear blurts of excitment. When the proctor got up and left, Fuyu turned his body and heard cracks all the way down his spine. sitting for that long bored always made him feel stiff. After that, he stood up and headed for the main office. A loud set of footsteps suggested that someone bolted out of there like it was nothing. The only one like that in this class was Oasis, and he couldn't blame her. He made his way down the stairs and down the hall once out of the classroom. It was nice that he graduated but suprised how many failed. He continued to make his way down the hall, finally putting the cloth over his momentarally useless eyes. As he made his way down the hall, he woundered who'd he'd be teamed up with as the 3 person cell of a genin group. He let that thought slip his mind as he got to the office. He took; the headband, gear and started to fill out the proper papers with the help of one of the office reseptionists.

Yuuki began to pop her head into every class. More curious then anything else. Most were empty, and only a few actually had students sitting. She decided to go into an empty class. Not noticing that this was a classroom of her's. Apparently she was far to excited to notice that the number that was on the door, was on her timetable as well. She walked towards the window, and stared outside, as a whole bunch of students..possibly around her age were training. She tilted her head to the side as she watched intently, not thinking about finding her other classes. Her elbows resting on the window sill as she wiggled her nose a few times. A slight soft humming emitting from her as she wondered much being here. If she was able to go on with this or if she had made a sudden rash decision. Her hands resting on either side of her cheeks as she hummed, not wanting to count this day, as her first day of the academy. She hated having to stand in front of the class to introduce herself >.<

Yuuki sighed as she flicked her wrist now, making the kunai soar through straight to the tree. Her eyes focusing on the spot right beside the previous kunai. Having almost perfected throwing kunai's at the poor tree. Her sempai walked over and watched her throw with almost no effort. He then placed his hand on his chin as she said "So, piece of cake? Hm, is it just me, or where you possibly pre-trained? Or maybe you're just a fast learned?" Yuuki blinked a few times as she flicked the last kunai at the tree, having made a straight line across the tree trunk. She walked over to the tree and pulled all four kunai's out of the tree quickly as she walked back to her sempai and simple said "Well..I suppose I am a fast learner?"

Yuuki looked at her sempai as she softly said "Isn't there something...more towards the medical feild?" Her eyes focused on her teacher's features as she stood there silently, twirling the kunai with ease in her fingers. As he said nothing, Yuuki sighed softly as she pivoted on her heels, making her body turn slightly. She then flicked the kunai back to the tree, this time with a little more force. The kunai drove itself into the trunk more this time then previous times. She then placed the other three kunai's on the ground as she walked away from both her speechless teacher, and tree. Everyone stared this time, after having see what she did. Yuuki held her breath as she sat down on a bench near. Her eyes closing slightly as she sat there thinking how much she wanted to learn how to help when there were injured people around. She wanted to protect these people, these kids that were training in this academy as well.

Once at the graveyard, Notwen made his way to the massive Memorial Tablet. The sand shifted in the wind as he stood there, gazing at the great polished headstone, reminiscing of the good times he'd spent together with his mother before the attack on the village two years ago. Then came the memory:
A band of rogue ninja had infiltrated the village and were causing destruction at key points. Notwen's mother, a skilled kunoichi, was called to duty, and she ordered him to watch his younger brother and sister. A short while after she had gone, the man in the skull mask had broken into their home. There was something Notwen recognized when he looked into the man's eyes, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"What do you want!" Notwen yelled, putting himself between the man and his younger siblings.
"Niisan, i'm scared." whimpered Naila, his younger sister. Tears began to roll down her rosy cheeks.
"Scared?" said the masked man. "You ought to be, for tonight you lose your lives!"
Notwen was in a fit of rage. He charged at the man. "Oh, yeah?!" There was a blur of white and Notwen found himself sprawled at the base of the wall to his right. The left side of his face hurt and he tasted blood in his mouth, his blood.
"Yeah, starting with her!" A blade slid down his haori's sleeve and before Notwen could do anything, the man stood bent over Naila. "Ladies first." When he backed off, Notwen saw that he had run his little sister all the way through the heart with the sword. In fact, it was the sword that kept her from falling.
"NAILA!!!" Cried Notwen, charging at the man again, this time being met by a kick that sent him flying back to the place he had just been.
"Wait your turn, child!" That distraction allowed Jinta, his younger brother to scurry to the side door. "Oh?" The man made a hand-sign and a duplicate appeared in front of Jinta. "Where did you think you were going?" The clone kicked Jinta, but to its surprise it was a clone of Jinta, which blew up in a wisp of smoke.
"Take this!!" Jinta had appeared in the hall past Notwen, brandishing a kunai knife with 3 explosive notes attached, all of which were sparking. He threw the kunai at the original masked man, who seemed to not care. His clone was there in an instant, and stopped the kunai with its body.
The room was shaken by the explosion, which caused part of the roof to come down over the masked man. Notwen ran over to Jinta and grabbed his hand.
"We've got to get out of here." he said and they both started running for the door, when there was a crash and debris began to fly at them. Notwen looked back to see what happened. The masked man had protected himself with wing-shaped black flames that had appeared from his shoulder blades, and was now extending them, thus freeing him from the rubble.
"You kids intrigue me to no end!" said the man, resting his head sideways on his hand, and Notwen saw the enjoyment in the man's eyes through the slits in the mask.

The chuunin laughed as he watched Yuuki getting ready. "Ah, a little amature like, don't you think. I could pretty much run to you, use a substatution and then have my hands around yours, taking those kunai's off of you." Yuuki narrows her eyes as she watched him even closer. She had remembered back when he would tell her to throw her kunai's at him. She was hesitant at first, but eventually she'd do it. Almost came toa point of being able to tell when the chuunin was about to use a substatution. Without her knowing it, he had been teaching her the vital parts of a human. Which should be avoided, or which to use when in extreme danger. He was almost her secondary sempai. He gave a small smile and lunged forward towards Yuuki. She took in a deep breath and stared at the blurr like thing coming directly towards her. She had already figuered out how to see the difference.

She planted her feet down on the ground, as she was getting ready to take on the impact of the sudden rush. And with that, he flashed a huge smile, and she felt a breeze as he twisted out of the path and was suddenly behind her. Yuuki blinked, and with almost the same speed that he had shown her, she brought her elbow down hard into his solarplexus. She then giggled and smiled "Oops, was that to hard? Or not hard enough?" The chuunin let out a small "Ooph' sound as he took half of the blow. "Well then, you can follow me. Very well done. I didn't expect this this soon into the fun." Yuuki took a step forward as she pivoted on her heels and gave a small skip like jump, facing him. A big bright smile on her face. "I surprised myself, so it seems"

(( Hidden in the Mist ))

Yura stared into the clouldy sky,then turned her gaze back to the small lake in the training grounds." Mom,Dad...I will avenge your death if it's the last thing I do." she got up, then walked onto the dock and starts making the water rise.

A familar presence came up behind her." Having fun Yura? "

It was her cousin Rin, the eldest of her two cousins.Yura turned around shocked to see her cousin." Wow Rin you've grown up, but i bet your the same stuck up brat you were a year ago." Suddenly, Yura fell off the dock and ito the water. " See? nothings changed your nothing Rin, go back to your perfect life while you still have one." Then she got out of the water, dried up then, went back to her room to take a shower and go to bed.
