Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sotaru prepared quickly making a seal to raise up a glass wall and then more to produce thick glass armor around his own body. The glass wall took most of the force and shattered under the pressure flying towards James now, the glass had also made him much heavier. He used the attraction to cause him to fall forwards and with his heavy body shatter the floor, the now shattered floor revealed earth and soil. He dispelled the armor and slipped into the earth with military movement successfully avoiding being drawn any closer. James and Lady were both in for a serious surprise now a wall of shard glass shards were flying at the two thanks to his techniques in conjunction to James own attack.

Qastor had jumped up ahead of time as he had been watching from the start with his Sharingan. He had fought a true Rinnegan user and quickly erected a very strong barrier to shield him from the force. "Hmm thats a good technique.... too bad its not even close to the strength of a real Rinnegan user...."

Sotaru was swimming in the earth beneath them and had successfully maneuvered outside the dojo. He now made two sets of three seals, first the wall of the dojo behind James was destroyed next a stream of fire came through the destroyed wall with explosions everywhere. This was actually a combination Ninjutsu, a technique neither would likely see and could likely only be countered by the same attack earlier. He knew this would drain her chakra but he had thought out every move,"Lesson number two, never let your opponent be a step ahead of you." He had copied her the whole time yes, but that was just to allow her to assume she was on an even plane with him when really he was controlling the flow of battle by copying her and was forcing her to move how she did from the beginning.

"Your strength is admirable, but flawed.... I will accept you," he stated as he sat down and smiled to her.

Qastor sighed,"I wish I could help... but she disappeared a few months ago, around water country I think... maybe that will help?"

Qastor got up and left, Sotaru did not waver,"you dont have to be a student to learn."

As Rain arrived at the dojo, he slid open the door and walked in as he bumped into Qastor as he took a step back to see who he had bumped into.

Letting out a groan, Akari twisted and turned as Raito dropped him on the ground. "Ow! Hey!" said Akari as he rubs his head and gets up to a sitting position to look up at Raito and Rain. He then remembered what happened as he looked around to notice he was in some sort of dojo. Quickly getting up wiping off some dust, he points at Rain. "Where the hell am I!? That was cheap what you did back there to me!" said Akari as he clenched his teethes.

"This was the only way of getting you here... It doesn't really matter since your already here doesn't it? Were in the leaf village dojo right now about to talk to the Hokage. Shouldn't you be acting more kage like...?" stated Rain as he continued looking forward at Qastor instead of looking at Akari.

Looking to the person in front of Rain, he noticed Qastor as he was at a loss of words.

"I see, so the whole band is here, I planned to meet you half way but, you made good time in the least. Please you three, follow me, let us get some tea while talk and a bowl of ramen to quench the stomach." He nodded respectfully to all, though he remembered Akari the most, he walked slow enough to lead them.
