Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hiro walked in through the the forested area that lead to the mouatin region...he was extremly tired from working so hard, but he was not going to quite....he had been to the badlands, the caves the plateu, but he wasnt giving in. He walked to the center region....here was the tallest tree in all of the stone village. This tree they say was the first tree ever to grow here, but that didnt matter...it was about to go down. Hiro got in a standard Tai-jutsu stance left leg forward. He grunted as he raised his leg and smashed his shin into it. "1" he said as he countinued to go at it. hours later it seemed he had Reached 10,000. He switched legs and did the same with his right. Soon he had finished 20,000 kicks, but he had forgotten today he was suppose to study...he had trained every part of his body except his mind. He sat down under the tree, with a book on chakra and great ninjas of history. He opened up a pad with paper and pulled out notes...He knew a ninja could be strong but if they werent smart to they would be easily defeated. Hiro kept reading he had gone through three books and 4 hours. When he started famous Kages he read a intresting passage about the Rokudaime hokage Uzumaki Naruto. Hiro was inspired. This was the kinda ninja he saw in Reck...Ark (a member of his clan)...Makio....Kekio...the Kage...in himself. This was destined he was ment to know about this man, but when the time came...could he truley sacrfice his own life for those in the village....

He closed the book and began to meditate on this matter. It was hard at first...his thoughts always webbed back to the others. He kept shaking it off soon he got his concentration and was at tune again, but he knew as soon as he broke his meditation would come back to haunt him.

Next thing navalie knew was that she was blending in. it worked. she thought in her head. she decided she would try it again. she then focused her chakra once again and hoped for the best

Katare cautiously crawled up the mountain. "I've always been kind of afraid of heights..." Katare eventually found a decent clearing, reached into his pack.. and grabbed a sandwich. "Gotta have food before training!"

It was a few minutes before Katare had finished scarfing down his lunch. "And now for my training." Katare fumbled through his pack and eventually found a light brown scroll. "Henge no jutsu, the Transformation Technique. The user can transform into any person, animal or object by simply focusing their chakra into the tiger symbol... Sounds easy enough."

Katare silently stood in place for a moment, quieting his breathing down to the point where it was barely even audible. He formed the tiger symbol.. "Henge no jutsu."

Katare transformed into a medium sized rock. "Yes! I'm getting so close to becoming a shinobi!" ...The fun wasn't over yet, though. A few rocks collided with Katare's newly acquired henge, and Katare began to roll towards the downhill slope. "Uh-oh..." Katare managed to transform back into his original form, but not before he had begun rolling down the mountain. "OW!!!" Katare smashed into a massive boulder. "At least I didn't fall all the way down the mountaintop..."

Kinami slowly climbed the larger or the two mountains. It was a perfect place to be alone- only those who weren't afraid of heights, those who appreciated the view it represented, climbed Aniki mountain. It was a place that people visited to dare the elements, a place that tested all of your endurance.

It was the perfect place for Kinami's mood. She hadn't been alone for some time, hadn't had the time to let out all her frustration, anger and grief. Now, she didn't care if the world came to an end- she needed her own time. She had seen what happened from her sending Giglamesh on that mission. She knew that Rai was going to have a lot of trouble on his journey.

It had been ages. So many people had died in the past years of her kageship. Every death cut into her, a person who had seen war and pain. She had seen it all, and no matter how much she wanted to keep it out, no matter how much she wanted to protect the innocence of the young; she couldn't do it.

It killed her to take on the deaths, the sorrow of a million souls. She was the pillar of Iwagakure, the one who stood tall when others fell to their knees in despair. Who stood for her? Who helped her with her emotional torment? She kept her perfected mask up at all times, she kept at the persona of tsuchikage. She kept herself smiling when all else failed, if only to give hope to others.

Tears began to roll down her cheeks, unable to be kept at bay. It had been so long since she had cried, so long since she had let the torment out. She wouldn't be able to stand being in the village, so she came to the mountains to let out her sorrow.

And as the wind blew in her face, she threw her head back and screamed with all the breath she had in her body. It echoed throughout the village, the soundwaves carrying into the valley.

She fell, then, her hands digging themselves into the ground. If she could grab it like sand, she would've scratched her hands to pieces from the course grains. As it was, she was alreday ripping her nails and causing them to leak pinpricks of blood.

She needed to hit something. There had to be something around the cursed place that could take a beating and help get her frustration out. She looked around frantically, seeking something that fit her requirements. She found it in the form of a rather large boulder, set into a wall and looking as if the world could end and it wouldn't break.

Pulling back, Kinami formed the appropriate seals. She used her chakra to form the Doryu Dango no Jutsu, picking up the nearest boulder and hurling it at the object of her abhorrance. She hadn't stopped crying at all, for all of the good it was doing. Throughout her entire fiasco, she wasn't feeling any better at all.

Kinami Cp: 83 cool )

She was beginning to pick up a tempo. Punch. Kick. Punch with the other hand. Kick with the other foot. Don't think about anything, just get lost in the rythm. Punch. Kick. Punch. Kick.

Her tears were drying on her face. She had never been one to cry for long, and hadn't expected this time to be any different. She did a round-house kick, followed by a right hook. Her hands were stinging. Her feet were sore. Punch, kick, punch, kick.

She tried to keep her mind from some of the less desirable memories. She tried to keep her mind from thinking about Giglamesh, and how she had been responsible for his well-being. She shied from Rai and his demon, and also from how much Kei seemed like her younger self. Just punching and kicking, over and over, until she would fall from sheer exhaustion. She had done it before; she would do it again, and again, until she found a better way to deal with the pain.

Things were pulling themselves together. It never took long for Kinami took get a hold of herself. Even if she didn't break down that often, it was not a long experience. She was once more locking things away in their proper place, only to be brought out when the time came. Or, in the case of an overflow, when she was alone and nobody could see her cry.

She picked up speed slightly, just because she felt like it. She didn't know how many punches she had thrown so far- it could have been one hundred, it could have been one thousand. She didn't care. It was nothing more than an excercise to her, something to keep her mind occupied until she could get a hold of herself. It was working, to an extent, and soon she would feel like she could face the world once more.

((Rock Hp: 1480 cool )

navalie walked back onto the mountain and decided to do some major training even in her condition. her arms and legs still has some blood on them but she didnt care at all so she decided she would do her training warm up because she knew she had to train and learn some defensive jutsu so she could protect herself. so she then took a long hike up the mountain once again .

she began up the mountain glanceing through the treetops seeing the light shine through the leaves. she looked at the beautifull scenery and everything and could remember a few things. she then decided no breaks at all and she continued up the mountain and glanced through some bushes and she had reached the top so she began her climb down and found a perfect area to do the chakra wall climb and attempted it. she slipped and quickly grabbed the edge and pulled herself back up and continued walking back down. and she had reached the bottom and then left to go to the platau
