Silly Genji Nova Blancke Silly Genji Nova Blancke Silly Genji "Yes," Sakurai agreed. He suddenly left a tinge of dark intent in forest-type area. It was a mere spark, so Sakurai shrugged it off. He walked off into a corner and created another Sakura tree. "Thats more like it..." Ion whispered as he got back to his place. The walking seemed to be a bit better bow. He started training his basic punches but due to the weight in his arms that itself was hard to do. Each time his arm cut through the air he nearly fell forward. Sakurai resisted the urge to ask Ion if he wanted the weight tuned down, but thought against it. We have to do this. It's a hardship we both must carry... He thought. Sakurai formed a string of hand seals and it's effects caused a branch to suddenly jerk forward, but his intent was to shoot it like a gun. He would need more practice to completely master it. A few minutes passed, Ion's arms were starting to get used to the weights. His punches were accelerating, accuratcy increasing and no more losing balance. Sweat covered his face. His body was adapting to the weight of the weights and increasing his strenght. It was time for his legs to do some training. He started walking through the room. It was still quite heavy for him to walk around like that but he would have to manage. Sakurai started another string of hand seals, this time confident in his technique. He distributed his chakra in a focused area, causing a wooden barrier to seize up and form in. The barrier, or shield was 5 meters long and 4'ft high. It formed a spiral-like pattern and Sakura blossoms bloomed on random twigs around it. Sakurai looked up at the sheild and admired his work, but knew he'd have to work harder to make it bigger. Big enough to protect Karai, Mai, Rin and Ion. Sakurai was really starting to get serious Ion could tell. Ion could now start running normaly dispite the weights. With every 5 steps he hopped into the air only to come down to the ground the second he jumped. Looks like his legs weren't adapted yet to the ankle weights. Even so he kept on repeating the progress knowing that they would adap.t

The shield rose to a curved semicircle, with the same design as the first, but it had increased in size. It was now 5.5 meters long and 6'ft high. Suddenly, Sakurai's leg gave way and fell limp. His chakra was wearing limp, but he had to persevere as Ion was, so he sucked in the fatigue, let it out and started another string of hand-seals.

Good it was time for a break then. He walked up to Sakurai normally. "Hey man...time for a break don't ya think? You can't push yourself like I can. Don't try to imitate me with that ok? It will destroy you." Ion said

String_Theory Dragon Sneeze Silly Genji String_Theory Akira was the next to speak, saying, "If you truly think that we are not strong enough to deal with Ifuuki or her minions, why then do you intend to fight her? I have read the information on your group, you are definitely impressive, but I notice signs of fatigue and injury in your Huuyga friend, yet you say Ifuuki is not even here yet? If you cannot defeat her underlings....how can you kill her?" Akira said this in a completely level tone, while slightly questioning at the end, it was not condescending, more like confusion. From a logical stand point, this did not make sense to him. "If you have addition men, should you not call them to help?" Shinji's eye twitched. "I was caught off-guard, even the best ninjas make mistakes. Any information you may have read on our group is flimsy and unreliable. They claim we are criminals. We are not. We are the world's imperial justice." Shinji shot back, instantly disliking Akira. Instead he turned to Rio. "Sadly, our group does not ally with anyone, even if it is the son of the legendary Onryo ... However, if you managed to get caught up in the battle, we my have to... let's say, adjust, our golden rule..." Shinji said suggestively. He knew what a great aid Rio, Akira and Issui would be. But that doesn't change the fact that Akira is jerk. "Yohiro-sensei, may I have a word in private with you after our conversation with these gentlemen?" Sabu nodded to Shinji and then turned to Akira. "Physical power and stratigical power are to different things. Even if we attack Ifuuki five on one, I doubt our chances of success. Instead, we opts for a subversive way to defeat her. If the plan goes well, we will have her in three days time. If not, we may be dead." Sabu's mirthful attitude had soured. The three nin seem to insist on being rude. Insulting him was one thing but insulting his subordinates was another. Rio paused for a bit, taken aback. He knew of course that his father Onryou was a amazing ninja, worthy of a random stranger knowing of him. Rio had been in only 3 spars where his father used a good portion of his power, and he had barely laid a finger on him. Yet he never liked to tote his relation to his father or mother, he wanted to be recognized for his strength, so when he was seen as just the talent son of Kama Onryou and Ohmu Ayame, it did annoy him just the slightest bit. Akira was about to say something when Issui tapped him on the shoulder and shook his head, Akira understanding without having to turn and look, closed his mouth without saying anything more. "We will let you get that word in private, which means that we should be leaving, Akira' s hearing tends to be better than even he thinks, so we will be heading to our quarters." With a nod Akira and Rio walked out of the ramen shop, then they disappeared in a swirl of fire and leaves, respectively. Issui stopped before he left and turned back towards the group as he said, "I'd rather you not speak to Rio on this subject, partially out of confidence and partially out of the fact that I'm not sure how he would react. There is another matter I would like to discuss. As we said there is a rumor of and powerful nin from the land of metal, hidden shaodw, known as Yang Tao Eiju, strong enough to push Rio's father to the extremes to beat him. There are rumors that he has made contacts, friendly contacts, with Ifuuki. No one knows why, or if he is truly allied with her but the thought of it scares the councils of the vortex region and my own country, they know that he is a loner by nature and that he would join anyone is something to be worried about." "However there is one more nin that has been not only rumored, but confirmed to be among Ifuuki's ranks recently. He is from the hidden ash village, a boy by the name of Bakuhatsu Kasairyuu, who has the Bakuhatsu's ability to mix the elements of fire and earth to make metal. He is incredibly skill for his age and dangerous. I was told by Rio's mother before we left and I don't want Rio knowing if I can help it, they were friend back when they were int he academy, but I want you to know all that is stacked on Ifuuki's side of the table. You gave us some information, it's only right we return the favor right?" Issui finished with a smile before movingin a swirl of water to collect his cloak, bowing, and moving away in another swirl of water. "That blue-haired ninja is a nice fellow. I'm not to keen on Salamander-boy, though." Shinji said. "Maybe we should have told them that everyone who investigates Ifuuki ends up dead." Shinji said, taking another uncharacteristic swig of sake. "That information Issui gave us, It might be worth checking into, Higiro, I've heard of Eiju, he's quite infamous in foreign regions, but information around these parts will probably be scarce. But I'll trust that you'll get what we need. You always do. Yohiro-sensei... A word in private, please?"

He linked up the filter system to a long tube that sprouted out of the ground. He the made two shiny cups of wood. "Water. There" He said falling into a heap.
