Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pleased by sensei's response, Ame gave a big smile. She turned to watch Maveric enter... and the attention it gave him. That other kid is asking for trouble... As soon as sensei walked out, she hurried to follow. Water clones... this will be fun.

Rei sat down at the bar not removing his hood or his mask. He was still on a mission and reveling his identity would be costly to a Q. He had not expected another Tategami besides the head to be alive. It seemed to be a new comer. He didn't know that he gave off a scent like all people do. Odd, he would look more into this while he was here.

Drinking his tea Rei spoke to Tou. "You know you could always stop by the academy. I saw a couple of kids run towards it. I am sure you could ask there were the compound is. It is just a thought. If you need me I will be here or at the ocean." Rei said taking another drink of his tea.

Karite walked into the Ramen shop hungry as he had ever been.

"Karite good buddy long time no see." the shop keep said to him slapping down three bowls of Seafood Ramen for him to devour.

"It has ever since these masters came its been hectic. I am glad to see you did all right." Karite said opening up his chopsticks and setting them in a bowl.

"Hows your old squad doing, those kids still picking on each other."

Karite paused a second before looking at him. "They all died on the way to Iwa except one and she is still there. I dont know what happened to them, but I will miss them. My nephew made it back though."

"Ah so Hiro is fine. Is he going to be in the chunin exams?"

"He's been training hard getting ready. I hope he pass so I can stop worrying about him."

"Ahhh thanks old friend I am going to take the other bowls to go. Me and my student have a lot of training to do and not a lot of time to do it in." Karite wrapped his bowls and waved on his way back to the beach.

Meanwhile sitting next him controlling himself was Rei. It seemed the scent of all the ramen had played enough with their senses to avoid detection. He was lucky today but next time could be a different story.

Rei took of his hood and removed his mask. He was wearing no headband and his facial features looked like that of the Tategami. He would blend in perfect as he ate his ramen. He need to get out of here soon. He was starting to freak-out.

"You know... Your probably right. I do over estimate myself don't I? But not this time. I think I might have even caught Mari staring a little. But if you don't want to eat you all don't have to. It was just an offer," he said sitting down at the ramen bar and ordering. His eyes had a look around... everyone seemed normal though there was a guy there that seemed rather nervous. Tadashi didn't pay much attention to him though when his ramen was brought out and he started eating. "Hmmm I have nothing to teach you both yet but the basics... if any of you have any moves at all in mind or a scroll I could teach you from it. But that is all. I myself am working on Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu," reaching inside his pocket for a moment his finger ran over the emblem of the Uchiha clan. It wasn't till he could complete that move that he could be considered and adult among his people and finally be aloud to wear that symbol.

A man sitting next to them with the same cat like eyes as Hiro spoke up. "Fire can burn you in the end, but nothing is more like your friend then Earth. I should know I can use both." Rei said still drinking his tea. "I myself still prefer my ninja-to or my clan jutsu. Your own jutsu created by yourself are you ancestors are the best skills you can have. Yet your team is the strongest weapon you will ever use."
