Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You didn't put any chakra at all in that...." Dash said, an explosion ending the sentence. Surely enough this kid did suck with chakra. The man stepped back letting Raine prepare his own Kunai this time, "Look I was joking when I said make sure you don't let it go off in your hand. Just put the chakra in than throw it, than detonate it."

Raine nodded now, grabbing and tying another tag and Kunai, the constant explosions that he heard from the other only served to mock him as he went. His frustration growing. Just because he was a Tekkenseisai?! Was that why he was so inept at this? Shaking his head before he tried to concentrate.

Dash leaned back watching the boy, for all he cracked himself up to be he had some self-esteem issues. If he trained hard enough with his chakra, which was exactly what Dash intended to make him do than he would be a strong ninja in both ninjutsu and taijutsu. Maybe gen and it's intelligible approach would come later in life.

Again, Raine flung the Kunai feeling the zip from his fingers, as it flew a small snap and a tiny bit of smoke broke the air, the Kunai swerved from it's original direction and stuck in the ground. The small boy smiled with the reaction, it wasn't much but it was better than nothing at all.


DC:15
Train:2/10


(Wait why do you get +2 crying the things that you find in the system...... it's just that last I recall the only time that people could help each other is during training, and this is a jutsu so I"m confuzzled. )

Raine flung his fist in the air. The bands on his wrist falling back. Surprisingly it felt the same as that very first day in the academy when he had first used chakra. Raine smiled at what a whimp he was then. How he had cowered behind a tree praying not to die, and now- now he had stood up to defend his village and help bring down the bad guy.

He grabbed another Kunai tying it and throwing it. An explosion didn't quite make it out, but the seal burst into flames, with smoke billowing out into the air.

Pi reached out from the pocket his head turning to the side, fire reflected in his eyes. "Eh, Raine that's real cool! You ninja can make thing explode!" Raine smiled to his friend.

"Yeah, isn't it cool?" the small boy grabbed another Kunai from the pile tying a sealed tag to the bag.

"What cha gonna explode?" Pi looked up to Raine, who stopped and sighed.

"We already had this conversation Pi." he returned to his work, the weight of Dash's gaze pushing down on him.

"Well, little friend what brings you to the pocket of my poky pupil?" Dash crossed his legs, leaning up against a tree and looking to the little worm like creature in his pocket.

Train: 4/10 s.1/3

The silence that followed was awkward. Raine figured Dash had probably put something together with what PI had said, who was now starring up between both of them. Dash was silent, watching Raine and waiting for him to try again with the exploding tag. He broke the silence though. "Yeah, that's it." Raine smiled trying to get back to training. Though he felt the weight of dashes stare hard on him and Raine couldn't focus. Quickly he threw the Kunai, it landed in the same flew out and disappeaed, hitting a far away tree. Raine gulped. Tuning quickly to dash.

"Hey man, I can't focus with you staring at me like that!"

The man before him was calm and serene, his expression was cold. "Look kid, I'm your sensei now. You've got to tell me everything that you're up to. How I'm I supposed to help you, if you're off doing s**t by yourself?"

Raine recoiled at this, wondering whether of not to give his secret jutsu up. The boy just scoffed, "Look, I'm not doing anything. Pi said I needed to get stronger because I told him that I was going to the greatest ninja in oto." HE said deflating his pride but protecting his secrets.

Dash rolled his eyes. Seeing through such a pathetic lie. Raine would learn in time, they weren't that close yet.

Train:6/10 s.2/3

Seeing the boys resentment Dash knew he had to fix it quickly to avoid conflict for the rest of the day. He sighed going back to his tree. "Just be more careful okay." he realized though that these words really didn't apply to the Tekkenseisai from what he knew of them. After all they were the RECKLESS fist fghters.

Raine shook his head, oh please! be careful?! In the silence he thought he heard his name and flicked his gaze up toward the others. Craning his neck to try and hear, Dash interrupted him again however.

"You know you aren't so bad at this chakra stuff." He said the complimet from the side as if it were hard to get out. But none the less Raine's eyes grew to the size of beach balls and he let out a smile. Picking up another Kunai, intent on making it blow up perfectly. He needed to regain his honor. Using his good vibe to fuel his chakra, Raine quickly pushed the energy up through his arm and held it in his hand. Pulsing it through the seal until he could feel it there, like a whole other part of his body. He pushed his foot back and launched the Kunai away quickly.

It hit a tree far off from him and sat there. Dash's head sunk Failed again had he? The small boy smiled and pursed his lips, his eyes squinting as he focuses. *BANG!* the tag exploded and sent huge splinters of the tree going. Dash looked up with a smile.

Train:8/10 s.3/3

Raine looked down to PI, he was a very optimistic little friend, even if he did reveal part of his secret plan to Dash. He was too cute not to love, and the small animal clawed at his pants happily smiling up. Raine laughed. "Thanks pi." He pulled the last tag he had and tied it carefully to is kunai. Dash had turned his attention towards the others who seemed to be getting along well.

Taking aim, Raine gasped a deep breath and pulled back his hand, winding up for the throw, he built his chakra up and felt it get to his hand. Seeping into the tag, quickly he threw it, letting the tag flap through the air. Unexpectedly it exploded, not quite a large explosion like it should have been but it was definitely more than a burst of flames. Raine shook his head. Whether he succeeded or not, he loved seeing stuff being blown up.

Train:10/10 s.3/3

( I think it works for Training and Jutsu, but with jutsu you can't lower a DC below ten. Dash would give a +4 wouldn't he?)

Training together! Genin +2 each
Jutsu: Exploding Tag
DC:15
Xen:2/3
Kimiko:1/3
Xenon: 18+2=20
Kimiko:10+2=12


Another perfect execution. Xenon seemed to have the hang of it already... Kimiko frowned slightly but decided to just bite the bullet and keep trying. They were both doing rather well actually. Maboroshi continued his more serious explanation.

"He had it seems, his level of service already impressive, been sent on an S-class mission a few years ago." Kimiko's eyebrows raised at "S-class" "Apparently, Raine went with him."

Kimiko looked over to where Raine and Dash were working. "What?! Raine went on an S-ranked mission?! But...he would have been just an academy student like we were right?! That's crazy!" she threw her own and it fizzled slightly, spinning rapidly in the air before hitting the sand and being distinguished. "What sort of mission was it? Do you know?"

Xenon shrugged "While something I'm proud of, my research skills are not so great as to get a hold of that information. It's rather omitted as far as their exact mission. But I can guess."

Kimiko looked back at him. "Guess?" Maboroshi nodded.

Jutsu: Exploding Tag
DC:15
Xen:2/3
Kimiko:2/3
Xenon: 9
Kimiko: 19

Xen gave a confirming nod. "Yes. Guess." he now seemed more pondersome than focused on his tag throwing. "Do you remember what Raine said?"

Kimiko blinked "Which part?"

"He told us," Xenon noted with a flourish of the tag between in his fingers. "That he had met with almost all the Kage's. What do you gather from that?"

Kimiko threw her tag, watching it explode perfectly with a grin before becoming neutral again and considering his words. "Well... you're thinking it had something to do with the mission?"

"I'm thinking it must have." Xenon confirmed. "Whatever Mission it was, it took Raine and Hatchi through the elemental nations, along the way the seemed to have stopped in the other hidden villages. Whether meeting the Kage's was a goal or a side effect, they can't be unrelated."

The girl nodded fixing her posture slightly as she worked a little more on the chakra control. "So then..." she recalled what Raine had said about the Takikage. "Raine...he said that woman, that she killed his sensei."

Xenon adjusted his glasses on the end of his nose. "You mean the Takikage? Yes. I recall." he continued to twirl the tag in his hand. "Taki has always had strained relations with Oto. For good reason, I would not be surprised if a misunderstanding similar to the recent incident took place. People are always ready to think the worst of the people they perceive as their enemies."

Kimiko frowned ever so slightly. "I guess that's true...but I still don't think that woman can be trusted. Even if it was a misunderstanding, you can't just attack a village of innocent people like that...it's wrong." she shook her head. "Kasuke would never do something like that... I don't think any kage should."

"We are each of us our histories," Xen would have sounded sagely, had he not sounded more bored. "A kage is no different. Their reign shapes them. Kasuke's reign has just begun, the Takikage was reigning during the time of the masters if I'm not mistaken... she probably had to get a strike first mentality to survive...Kasuke is more peaceful minded. He values Diplomacy over war... Two different sides, yes, but you mustn't forget that both are still trying to protect their villages...do you really have the right to judge?"

Kimiko blinked slightly, her look far away for a moment. "Yes."

Xen looked at her sideways, and smirked "Well said Momoe-san."
