Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira was now lounging under a palm tree by the oasis, his white clothing portecting him from the sun's heat much better than before. The Gennin was slowly drinking water from the bottle, enjoying the fresh taste of the liquid. It was now time to train. (1/6)

Kira took out his next scroll, yet again another Taijutsu scroll. If he was goign to pass the Exams, he had to capitalize on one of his greatest strengths, his short range and Taijutsu skills. The next jutsu was Leaf Great Whirlwind, bound to be a helpful damaging move. (2/6)

Kira set up the dummy again, and he had tried his best in his spare time to try and fix it up, but it just wasn't sturdy. He had two more in his bag, jsut incase he broke some, which he was boudn to do. He was not wearing his Sand gourd. (3/6)

Kira began to charge at the dummy, his feet making a phish phish type sound as he gently moved the sand beneath his feet. Kira was now closing in on the dummy, and he began to focus on his attack and what msut be done. (4/6)

Kira began to jump, and he could feel himself movign at a fast rate, spinning through the air. The Attack was working! Kira kicked the dummy in the head with hsi right foot, and in the side of the torso with his left. The dummy went flying. (5/6)

Kira reset the dummy. He was going to the try the technique with his other foot. When the Gennin reached the dummy, he spun the other way, doign the same attack, but with his left foot first. Satisfied, Kira took a rest in the tent. He learned the attack (6/6)

(( Erm. Tanzu. That's not what that jutsu does.

Kaze Bakuhatsu (Wind Explosion)
Requirements: Kaze Bunshin
Description: Wind is gathered with chakra into a swirling ball that is hurled towards the opponent. The blast explodes on impact, causing cuts on the target's body if a direct hit. The actual force of the explosion of the Kaze Bakuhatsu feels as if a Gouken Stage 2 Punch is hitting you. A cool down period of two posts is required before this jutsu can be used again.

I think the only reason the bunshin is required is because the formation concept is the same. I got the impression it was an exploding bunshin too, but sadly not. ))

Kira got out from under his tent, and began to train again. He would have to train hard if he was going to win. It was early morning, and Kira was in a spot with some sunlight. The boy set up a new training dummy, but this one was just a simple black punching bag. The punchign bag had red Kanji on it, similar to his gourd. The kanji on the bag read "Guts" in some places, "Training" in others, and "Pain" in some other places.(1/6)

Kira opened up the next scroll, the next and last of the Taijutsu scrolls he had brought with him. It was leaf Violent Wind, another useful attacking Taijutsu. Kira was not wearing his gourd, and instead he was trying to complete the technique without all the extra weight on to dsitract his body from the attack. This strike needed to be precise to work. If he could get thsi down, he would have a powerful counter attack and opening strike, as well as a demobilizing blow for the Exams.(2/6)

Kira charged at the dummy, picking up speed as he blasted sand out of the way, making mini craters in the ground. He was getting closer to the dummy now, and he performed a trip kick, sweeping his right leg across the bottom of the dummy. Kira hoped his attack had enough oomph. Kira felt really good. He knew he was advancing in his training, and that soon he would be able to keep up with Shayera, Tanzu, and even David, without having some fancy shadow attacks or a demon.(3/6)

Well, it didn't have enough oomph after all. Kira smashed his leg right into the training dummy, but he hit the dummy to high and not fast enough, causing him to hyper-extend his leg a little going through with the spinning finish. If he had gone too hard trying to do that, he would of hurt himself and put himself out of the exams. That would of been a stupid way ot get DQ'ed. He would never go down like that, ever.It was painful, but no lastign damage was done. After a few minutes of resting and rethinking his approach, Kira started again. (4/6)

The Gennin charged the dummy again, taking off at much faster speeds then before, confident he knew where to hit the dummy. This would be the final try and if it worked, Kira would have learned the Jutsu. Sand was flying as Kira approached the dummy, still at a breakneck speed. He added a few more movements around the dummy, jsut to add confusion. He then Performed a powerful and swift trip kick. (5/6)

The attack landed jsut how it should have, and the dummy went spinning away, almost flying through the air in an awkward position. Any ninja hit by this tehcnique and went spinning like that would not be able to make handseals or do any kidn of counter attack. They would be helpless as they flew into a wall or other object. Kira conisdered this technique now that he mastered it. It would be a better attack to use to counter approaching foes. Leaf Violent Wind had been learend.(6/6)

Kira had finished training, and he had set up a hammock between to palm trees. He got up, and turned to Shayera and Tanzu. "Hey guys, anybody want to take one for the tema and be a victim for some Genjutsu? I need to practice some before the exams. I need to make the most otu of my bloodline ability." He said, asking for volunteers.

((As am I. Thank you for kindly correcting us.))

Kira smiled, happy that Shayera would be brave enough to allow him to test his Genjutsu. His strong point was supposed to be Genjutsu, as it was literally in his blood. The whole point of the Ranmaru bloodline was to be able to have extended mastery of Genjutsu. The Gennin took his stance, his legs shoulder width appart, his arms making the tiger handseal. Since he was not in a battle, this would be the simplest way to channel his chakra. Kira took a few deep breaths as he went to work, preparing to use his Genjutsu. (1/6)

Kira had now channeled his chakra well, and was getting ready to unleash the technique upon his teammate. it would not hurt her, of course, as it was just a mere illusion and nothing more than that, but illusions could always seem very really to the human brain, and that could cause quite a bit of panic in Shayera. This was all of course if the technique worked the first time. A lot of preparing was needed, because it would be better to go slowly now and make sure he knew the Jutsu, then to go to fast and screw it up where it counted, in battle. (2/6)

Kira now felt he was ready, and he hoped that it would work the first time, saving him a lot of trouble to do it over again. He unleashed the attack, his chakra invisible as it moved towards Shayera. She might start to feel dizzy. "Demonic Illu- GAH!" There was a huge discharge of chakra by Kira, sending him backwards. After getting up, he cursed under his breath. The Jutsu had failed, and now he would have to do it over again. Kira scowled. That was no fun. Ge got up and began to take his stance again. (3/6)

Kira was angry and dissapointed. He had thought he did everything right, he had channelled his chakras, he had focused on the jutsu. He had put the right amount of malicous intent into the Genjutsu, and he even performed the jutsu and went about everything slowly! Yet he still messed up! Kira calmed down. If he was angry, he would not be able to channel his chakra correctly. He needed to be calm, like a gently flowing river, and flexible, like the sand in the deserts where he grew up. Kira was now focused, and ready to perform again. (4/6)

Kira was in his tiger handseal stance again, channeling his chakras. He had to make this work, his teammates needed him to be at his complete best to be able to help out. He had already learned a fairly adept amount of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, but he was severely lacking in the Genjutsu department. That's what this training was for. Kira looked a Shayera, grinning. He felt like this Jutsu was goign to work. "Okay, here goes! Try not to pass out...." Kira moved his chakra towards Shay. (5/6)

The boy could feel the chakra as it began to fulxuate around Shay, as it would now start messing with her mind, senses, and ultimately, her emotions and will. Kira now began rapidly performing the handseals for the Jutsu. Shay would now feel her vision begin to blur if she was hit, and then eventually she would black out, and after the dark would come to illusion created by her own mind. "There we go... Demonic Illusion! Viewing of Hell!" This Genjutsu would be unbreakable unless physical pain was inflicted on Shay.

((OKay, so basicly, you watch him screw up, then you get to make up the illusion shay faces.))
