David's eyes slowly cracked open as he woke from his meditation. That really had been more trouble than it was worth. The Ichibi didn't like it very much when it's host tried to think of solutions other than killing people. He would have to work on that too it seemed. A glance below told him that the people he had seen earlier had mostly left, or at the least relocated. Anyways, he supposed it was time to start his own training again. Standing up he moved back from the edge and found himself a nice open space, where the ground was more dirt than rock. It would be easier that way. After having found such a place, he began to focus on what he had read in the scroll. He had gone over it well enough to remember without looking again, so there was no real problems there.

Slowly pooling his chakra into the ground, he let it flow through the dirt, and feel out any cracks or abnormalities. Weak points so to say. Once the points had been found, his chakra pooled into them, preparing for the next stage. The stage where he would actually be able to use the chakra.

And that was with the next jutsu on his list. The first wasn't really a jutsu, just a preparation. This was the real thing. Running through a quick couple of seals, the boy flooded even more chakra into the ground, and this time the results were instant. Expanding outwards from his feet, the ground seemed to spin and crack, grinding against itself until, mere moments later it crumbled and became sand. The sand patch expanded rapidly for a few feet, until David was standing in the center of a sand circle. Grabbing up a stone that was conveniently trapped under his right foot, the boy dropped it into the sand, smiling when it immediately sank. He had no idea how deep this was just now, but it was definitely the jutsu described. As he released the chakra holding the jutsu in place, the sand visibly settled, sinking by about an inch. It had been puffed up loosely to create the sinking effect apparently. Unlike it would work in the desert though, the sand didn't return to it's natural form. It just became normal sand.

People would probably question how a patch of sand came to exist here. And that was enough to make David laugh as he sat down again. He had completed his sand training for now, but he still needed other things. A weapon style for his staff, wind jutsu to shut the Ichibi up, and probably some non elemental jutsu would be a good investment too. Not much he could do about that here though...

(Geez, I missed a lot in a week. I'm not even gonna try to respond to it all)

During everything, Yamatano had stayed back, preferring not to get involved. It was a great way to advance his hunter nin training of stealth, and listening to lots of great information. But just as he was about to exit the shadows to speak with lord Mizukage, he vanished. Sighing, Yamatano decided to head to the treehouses, hoping to meet him there.

Jade smiled at his grown comment, whether it had been about her body or not. It was true, it seemed as if every jinchuuriki around was gathered here on Nagi Island. This was great news for Akatsuki, bad news for everyone else. She nodded her head at his question, watching the little dove move around and around. She took a moment to readjust herself, and moved closer to him, placing her head in his lap. "Aye, he was helping me, I've learned a bit more." She closed her eyes behind the mask, resting in her moment of peace. "It'd be wise for me to learn some more, but I could do with a glass of sake every now and then..." Ah, there was the real Jade, asking for a drink.

{Gah you write so epicly xD!!}

{Did you get my pm about MSN?}

Jade smiled, she knew Aeden would have a stash somewhere on him. Her hands already knew what to do, and uncorked the gourd. She tipped it into her mouth, surprisingly not choking herself. It was funny, throughout her whole life, she never had time. Now, it seemed as if she had all the time in the world.

She had never had time to think about a relationship, thus it had never crossed her mind that Aeden would affect her so. He had always been there to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. Ok, that was a lie. He had always been there to help her get away from a stupid situation. Now, he was her escape. She truly felt for him, which, despite her age, was a surprise. Jade smiled, tipping a bit more sake into her mouth.

She had always tried her best to keep Aeden away from the bad choices she had made, though he always insisted on sticking with her. He had defended her, bled with her, and so much more. Jade sighed, closing her eyes, keeping the smile on her face.

As his training was finished, Shinji had taken some time to sit and watch the falls. Water was always calming for him. Maybe it was the constant movement, of the noise it created which helped him to even if only in the slightest forget his pain... but for whatever the reason, he easily lost himself in it's stream. After a while, he started to realize that it was getting late in the afternoon as the light began to slowly fade over the horizon. Taking nature's cue, Shinji stood up, collecting his weapons and items as he turned to leave the field, only to step back suddenly in shock, instinctively placing his hand on the hilt of his blade near his head.

An ANBU had somehow, though not surprisingly, arrived without warning and was simply staring at him without saying a word. without knowing what to do, Shinji remained defensive until the ANBU suddenly held out his arm, offering him a scroll, prompting him to take it. Relaxing with some trepidation, Shinji release his grip on his weapon and reached out for the scroll, taking it in hand as the ANBU immediately disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving Shinji with nothing but the wish of being able to perform such a technique one day. Opening the scroll, he read the contents and allowed a smile to crawl across his lips. He had made it to the second part of the exams and was instructed on where to go.

Rolling the scroll up, he took off for the campsite immediately. Having brought nothing but what he carried on his back in the first place, he had no need to go back to the caves. Though, he did regret not being able to see Riko. As it was however, he had duties to attend to, so he quickly sped away, his adrenaline already pumping hard as he made his way to the forest... the surge of chemicals already starting to ease the pain which he had used the waterfall to partially escape from.
