Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Rofl. Full? O.o Nah. xDD It's supposed to look harder to fit their restricted limit status. Though I find it very funny how people assume that because Hyouton/Mokouton are listed as "restricted limits" and Hyuuga/Uchiha assumed as the two canon limits most prone to overpopulation. The only clan under me that ever was really overpopulated (and I actually had to close to applications before) though was Hyuuga (once overpopulated Uchiha by a glaring half). The other Crew was like: That's a lot... O.o

That was because I made the mistake to advertise them... >_> Hm...though by now, that died down. So they're technically open but officially accepting after the time skip. The clan compound's purpose is actually for tracking purposes... So that I keep an eye out so there's no abuse of the Hakke techniques.

Anyways, I could help you with Jutsu if you want. ^0^))

((Actually, due to my blunder, Hyuuga had 14. ^^'' For a time outnumbered Uchiha by 6 or so. Numbers are more modest now, though.

Hm...I love Neji...probably because he is one of the few prodigies that didn't turn to the dark side... ^0^ But yeah, their Jutsu school really is something with that combination style. Rarely in the canon you see another school with each technique related so much to another (so can be fitted into combinations). So they probably remain the most complete and close to perfect school (of techniques) Kishi finished. ~^_^~

But anyways of the three major doujutsu families, Rinnegan makes even Sharingan look modest. Hopefully...Kishi comes up with a better check-balance than "Pain reduces his lifespan using his atomic bomb technique". Cause at this point, I really can't see Pain and Konan at good old Sandaime's age watching over kids or something... >._.>

Personality-wise, Senju clan fits me the most. ^0^'' So I love rping the Hokage...he's funny and weird...so though I like Hatsuyuki, rping her way of speaking is a little...cold...? Emotionally deadened...thank goodness Shin in Iwa is warming up to people, so even if I can't go wild with him...at the least could talk more normally... So, I'm more for Senju probably because of the quick-temper and the weakness for gambling (and losing)...coarse and rude in the briefest over glance but charismatic in their own sweet way... xD

Though I like Hyuuga...I kind of turned Hyuuga clan really OOC... x3 So Mokouton is my personal favourite but with Kishi's currently released techniques...well, he disperses technique usage so...randomly. So it's not as well-fitted together as the Juuken Kempo school. >_> It really makes me wonder why they were picked as Uchiha's rivals sometimes...

Though perhaps now, Yamato can come of good use helping with the rebuilding of Konoha... U_U Actually, they seriously could use some restructuring (heck, what am I talking about...after the current chapter Konoha's a smoking crater...so much for the Kage summit...)... I wonder where they're gonna live. O.o Temporary relocation to Gaara's village? xO

Oh, I found something interesting. All of the previous Hokages (#s 1-3) had been officially named (in databooks)...their names also interestingly enough correspond to their position in advancing the canon to its current point (mostly)... Also...I just unhappily discovered the "ju" of Senju isn't trees but...arms! >=O It's translated 'a thousand arms'!!! But 'a thousand trees' sounded so much better... Why? crying

Pffft. So Hyuuga's Chinese (divination and etc), Senju's definitely Indian...and Fubuki's Japanese... O.o

Shodaime -> Senju Hashirama "the space between two pillars" (a good name for the founder I thought...I liked the correlation between the strength of two pillars supporting a heavy ceiling... ^0^)
Nidaime -> Senju Tobirama "the space between two doors" (he links two generations...I thought it was a great name too... =O)
Sandaime -> Sarutobi Hizuren (Sarutobi means Flying Monkey, lol!) Hizuren="A name" (hm...don't really understand why he's called Hizuren... Maybe fame?)
Yondaime -> Namikaze Minato (Namikaze can mean strife, discord...Yondaime by implanting Kyuubi in his son inadvertently leads to Konoha and Naruto's present ordeals...) Minato="port" but can also mean "a name"
Godaime -> Senju Tsunade "a mooring rope" (hm...I guess it's something about connecting generations again...)

...so fufufu...name-wise, Naruto got a much better chance to become Hokage than Kakashi! >=3 There to any challenges to Rokudaime position. >_> Besides, Rokudaime just sound so much cooler than Nanadaime... U_U''

---

Oh! Odoriko! Well well, now...isn't that surprising. xDD I have an Odoriko too but not in Kiri. She's the Sannin head medic at Oto. Hm...I'll think of something...))

((Lolz, don't worry about that so much. It's just me rambling that Naruto will definitely become Hokage. No offense to any Kakashi fans here, though. O.o

But I really do admire how Kishi names his characters...it seems to nearly always tell some important characteristic, or even something of the past. =3 So I try to emulate his way of naming with the latter characters of mine... x3

Er...you wouldn't really want to meet Yuumei. U_U She's kind of violent for a medic-nin... Once upon a time, I wanted her to learn Gouwan too just to deviate from the clan's traditional (of being poor at physical strength). xDD

Anyways, I'm thinking of a technique that combines Shunshin no Jutsu like elements with Needle Guardian. Basically, long hair is hardened for blade like usage...and the dance focuses on increasing speed (until the dancer moves so quickly that it almost seems like they're consecutively using Shunshin no Jutsu)... Since the opponent will have trouble discerning actual movement from the afterimages, that's how the clansmen will find an opportunity to strike.))

[Pon it wasn't Andou who ran out it was Batosai sweatdrop Caleo's character =D]

As they travelled through the maze the group ran quicker and quicker. Well, mostly it was Andou leading them on and forcing them to catch up and run faster, otherwise they would get lost. He would always wait for them though, with a disapproving expression on his face if they took too long. Andou wasn't that bothered that Kuusho ditched them. He was a wild child and would find another way to occupy himself. Besides, he deserved an off day sometime. Andou also couldn't be bothered to try to understand the kid when there was so much that needed to be done.

Soon they reached the housing district. As expected it was pretty broken up. Cracked grey slabs, some smooth, some jagged lay everywhere. This section was the hardest hit after all. The silver lining on the cloud was that most of the other bits were fine or close to finished. The villagers were working on making the houses livable. However in this section there were too many stray pieces of rock that were too heavy for them to carry. This would be the ninjas' job today. Pointing at the rocks Andou explained to his task squad what to do.

Exercise: Clear the Rocks
There are lots of medium sized rocks lying around. Actually, there are too many for one single person to clear on his own. Work together and move rocks away from the roads to the pile at the side specially designated for them.

A male Jounin came with a kid in hand. "Andou, this must be one of your students." He said as he put him down. "I found him wondering around the academy, kid didn't realize that the building was destroyed I suppose." He said. "Though with the wreckage everywhere I'm surprised he didn't realize it." The man said as he waved him good bye and left.

Kazuma had a vaguely distant look in his eye as though his mind was preoccupied with something, though he truly wasn't that bright a cookie. He just stared at Andou wondering who he was and what he was supposed to do. He looked at the rubble and decided it couldn't possibly be that since anyone could see he had no real muscle to him. He was a scraggly little kid and didn't seem to talk much and just scratched his head. For a second it looked like he was about to talk but he quickly closed his mouth thinking that what he was about to ask could be classified as a dumb question.

Hikaru followed Batou through the maze that was the reminance of Kirigakure. He looked around as he ran through the destructive out come of his home. The sheer power those women held. Its staggering... As he arrived, he saw another academy student already working to move the rubble. Hikaru quickly ran ahead and started to relocate the rocks. Hikaru slowed, aproaching the first rock. He gripped the rock on both sides with both hands and lifted it with suprising ease. He then shuffled with the rock towards the new pile and set it down. Now it was off to the next rock.

Hmm, that was easy... Hikaru then walked towards a slightly larger rock and attempted the same. He placed his hands on the edges of the rock and lifted. As he tried to do this he felt a pain in his back. "Oww!", he said in a voice that was a tad too loud. "Danmit, that hurt.." I should most definatly stick the the smaller rocks. Hikaru paced back from the large rock while rubing at his spine.. He then looked around for a smaller rock.

Across the road from him was a rock he felt he could lift. He quickly ran over towards it with a smile. This strength training is going to make me a better ninja. With both hands on the rock, Hikaru lifted using his knee's. That must have been my problem. He then carried it back to the pile he had started witht he first piece of rock. Setting the rock down gently as not to crush his feet. Hikaru walked away from his rock.

Hikaru scouted around for another rock he could handle lifting himself. Looking to the left, he saw one. It, like most others, was oddly shapen. Hikaru walked towards it and cracked his knuckles before he arived. I wish I had some gloves. He then bent over and grabbed the rock. Lifting it was not as difficult as he had though, but they where not feathers by any mean. Now he inched his back towards his pile, now containing three rocks. By now, the work was starting to beome more straining.

Hikaru whiped his brow as he stepped back, he saw a slightly larger slab of concreat. (sp) Hikaru walked around a large circular rock to get to his object of choise. As he aproached it was slightly larger than he had though. "This will be a test for me.", he said with a slight grin. Hikaru bent down and grabbed the rock with a tight grip. He lifted with his legs, fourcing himself up. With a smile, Hikaru shuffled back around to the large rock and his pile. With a small huff, he tossed the rock onto the pile.

Kazuma looked at Andou with his empty eyes and opened his mouth to give him his name. He was fortunately smart enough to know that one. "Akimitsu Kazuma..." He said going no further. He wasn't exactly proud of his utter lack of knowledge, but he hoped that Andou could see that he lacked the physical ability to do any physical labor at this moment. But if he didn't Kazuma would probably just go home and read there since it was one of the few places in the village that was totally leveled. Though he'd never become a ninja if he doesn't at the least learn the basic jutsus.
