Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sano’s eyes lit up in surprise and eventually his expression formed that of a smirk as he realized what Gaali was doing. He watched as the capable fighter moved into Sano’s attack attempting to escape the thrust of his left arm. It was a smart move and an easy trade off for the skimming blow that Sano was able to make with what was originally his feint.

Sano began to realize what was Gaali’s true goals only almost too late into the movement. Sano didn’t want to give Gaali the chance to go on the offensive. As far as Sano knew Gaali didn’t have too many defensive capabilities, but for offense with those wires it was literally limitless. Sano was going to have to try and end it here. Sano kept in step with Gaali attempting to get in close even as he finished his spin. Sano then performed the necessary hand seals and said, “Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Element Inner Decapitation Skill).” Just as he began to sink into the earth and meld with it he attempted to grab Gaali. The original point of the jutsu was to sink first and then make their way over to the opponent before pulling them into the earth. However, Sano had decided to skip the first part and pull Gaali up to his head into the ground with the same motion of his own melding. Now Sano would have to see if it worked and even if he didn’t he had escaped the wires.

Sano found himself morphing back through the ground and on to the surface. He smiled triumphantly as his gaze moved down to the now trapped Gaali. His plan had worked though any longer and the fight could have really heated up. Sano smirked as he listened to Gaali mention his win and struggle a bit.

Sano bent over and used both his arms to help Gaali pull himself out of the sandy trap. Sano then said, “Don’t worry about it Gaali. I’ve had a bit more time to train and as far as I knew you didn’t have much in your arsenal yet unlike me.” Sano gave a reassuring head nod as he turned to watch what little of the battle between the new student and Miyuki had gone on since the start of their fight. Sano scratched the back of his head signifying his nonchalant attitude. As Sano did such the sleeves his arms rode down a bit and the small weights that he wore on his wrists could be better seen.

Miyuki pushed against the girls kunai and jumped away before her feet became entangled in the wires. "By the way, whats your name?", Miyuki asked when she was safely away from the wires. Not waiting for an answer she created four clones and they began to circle the girl. Each clone pulled out five kunai and threw them at the girl, with wires attached to them trying to wind them around the girl, while the real Miyuki waited behind a boulder waiting to strike.

The real Miyuki then came forward and stood in front of Shihasu, "and I'm Miyuki...hey I need to practice this new genjutsu I learned on someone, but don't be too afraid when you see it ok?", She said happy she was finally gonna get to try it out, she then made the hand signs and then muttered, "Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Jutsu)".

(This jutsu causes the target to see a horrifying vision. First, an imaginary swirl of sand will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have moved before the illusion sets in. You can just make up what you see))

Miyuki nodded satisfied that her jutsu had worked. She quickly cut the wires around Shihasu. "You're okay right?".

Sano nodded his head a bit as he listened to Gaali bring up Sano’s wrist weights and how it had helped Sano reach such speeds with his Pi Qua Quan style. In truth it definitely had helped for the wrist weights weighed down his arms and made it harder form him to put them in a relaxed and flexible form above his head. Sano remained silent as his companion, Gaali, began to discuss his plans for learning some wind jutsus from their sensei, when they eventually got one.

Sano didn’t answer just at that moment, content in watching the ongoing battle between the two female shinobi. The battle was a brutal one and drew much more blood then the simple sparring match that he and Gaali had. Sano wasn’t against making his opponent bleed, but he preferred incapacitating his opponents to allow him just one strike to finish the match. Sano expression didn’t even change as the shinobi who lost passed both he and Gaali making a clearly frustrated and rude remark as she passed.

Sano paid the woman no mind as she made her way back towards the village instead turning back towards Gaali. Sano then said, “My Stepfather has a collection of wind jutsu scrolls at his disposal. Perhaps I can take a few say that they are for personal study and then let you take a look at them. My foster father would be displeased that I would be sharing his secrets, but I do believe that he will see it as being in his best interests if it means preparing my future teammate so that he can better keep me alive if need be.” Sano then gave his companion a confident smirk being quite truthful. There were very few people that Sano would go against his Stepfather for, Gaali was one of them.

"I beg your pardon," Shihasu said, looking disdainfully at the shorter boy, "I don't speak shrimp."

She had paused and looked at him out of the corner of a heavily-lined eye over her shoulder, sizing him up. She cast a glance to Sano, and then looked back at Gaali, turning slightly so she wasn't giving him her full back.

((lol, perhaps. If I run out of short jokes. Though he may become Chibi, as that means runt 4laugh ))
