Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sage stopped walking towards what she believed to be Jason when he began to give further instruction about the Jutsu Shou Technique that she wished to learn. Sage then seemed to make a mental note of the fact that it would not stop a physical attack. Sage then watched as the technique was preformed and the Magma Dragon fell back into the pool where it was jumping out of. Sage then let a simple word slip out, "Interresting..."

Sage attention was still on the power of the Jutsu Technique as Jason started make the clones and had really not paid any attention to the fact that he did made them until she heard him ask the retorical question. Sage then looked around a the eight different clones and then thinks to herself, "I would say so."

As the clones started to dissappear, Jason left the area of the gods with a nodd to Suzaku. "Heh. Actually, you would never know the whole story. And if you thought someone killed me when I first passed over, all my deaths were self-inflicted with suicide technique and the Death God himself." Said Jason. He then continued to walk to Sage. He dissappeared as he used an incredible burst of speed through the woods and back to where she stood, only appearing without a sound behind her. "That's not all I should be known for. I may be clumbsy and noisy like Naruto, I'm one who loves to make surprises." Said Jason patting her on the shoulder as he walked by. "What's next?" asked Jason.

1/??? ((Depends on what Sage is going to have me do while she learns Jutsu Shou.))

Sage watched as the different clones that have spung forth in such a quick few seconds seemed to carry on a conversation between them. Sage took the time to quickly exam the clones and discovered that they were each made out of a different element that could be found near or throughout the creater where the Jason and Sage had been sparring. Sage also figured out the spar served as a way of teaching and showing the use of the technique and its power to the young chuunin. Sage continued to eye the eight different clones with a gleam of amazement when she started to notice that they were now starting to fade and fall back into different places where the elements that were used to create them came from.

Sage snapped her head around to look at Jason who was slowly strolling past her after patting her on the shoulder. Sage could tell that Jason was a eager to train as Sage is normally. Sage quickly gathered her thoughts and says, "Well we have come to a crossroads and face a choice now. Option one is that we can either go seek out a teacher in the village to learn something new together. Option two is that I can teach you another one of the the sub-techniques to the Kujaku Myouhou that I have already learned." Sage paused for a second to take a breath and then say, "The list of skills that I have already learned are Scatter, Heal, Kemono, Chakra Tracker, or Control."

Sage's head would be instantly drawn to look in the direction from which she would hear Suzaku's cry. Sage watched as Suzaku flew around a second before diving towards the ground and then landed so gental before speaking to her. Without responding to Suzaku's words in any form, Sage quickly turned to look at Jason and says, "Forgive me... it seems that our time for training has been cut short and I must be going now." Sage then turned and headed towards Suzaku where she carefully climbed up onto his back before turning to look at Jason one more time and saying, "Would you be joining us on this journey?"

Suzaku did not wait for a responce before he would raised his head and neck from the ground before slightly arching it as Suzaku prepared to lift off the ground once agian. Suzaku stretched out his mighty wings as he glanced at Jason out of the corner of his eye to see what if any responce Jason would have.

Sage had figured that Jason would not turn down a fight and had not really counted on getting him to help her and Suzaku all that much in the fight agianst the other beast gods. A slight smile formed across her face as she began to think about the battle that was about to unfold between the four guardians beast gods. Sage gripped a few of the feathers tightly on the back of Suzaku for she knew that it was going to be a fast flight.

Suzaku let another long and loud cry tear from his throat as he once agian launched himself into the heavens above Hoshigakure. Suzaku cleared the trees with a single flap of his powerful wings and had found the pair high in the open space of the heavens. Suddenly Suzaku the slightly leaned and rotated his body while he turned and headed towards the Fate Island.

As he reached the party, he came up next to the leader with his same old smile on his face. "Need any assistance?" He asked. The leader looked at him and snickered. "Ya right. Like we need a 8 year old to give us hunter nin's a hand." He said. The others started to laugh with him while Jason's smile grew wider. "Ya. I guess so. But, what can you say. He seems alot stronger than you." Said Jason. His hood flew back revealing the Hidden Sand symbol embedded on his neck. The head of the Hunter Nin's eyes grew wide as he saw the symbol and then squinted.
