Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the academy Tauro walked around looking for Aruka for his first ninja lesson but his lesson wasn't going to be what he thought. " Tauro you will learn the proper use of chakra transformation and use Henge no jutsu. Chakra is the source of energy used by every Shinobi. You don't have Chakra as soon as you fight you have to make it to use various jutsu. You will first have to use hand seals to convert your energy into Chakra." Tauro interrupts " If I use my energy to make chakra wouldn't I get weaker from using it?" Aruka explained that the reason they learn to convert the energy is so that they don't become weak immediately after using a single conversion.

Instead of telling Tauro what to do Aruka let him do what he wanted in order to learn better. This time Tauro thought of how much chakra he needed in order to perform a correct bushin no jutsu. He first converts his energy to enough chakra to create 3 bushin. Knowing that if he gave out too much power for one he might screw up the rest. He evenly distributes the chakra among the 3 bushin so that each has the same amount of power and none of his energy is wasted. "Good job you made 3 bushins each are stable and they are all identical to you and can be used as a proper defense.

“Man, I’m so tired!” Okami said after waking up from a sleep after his long water-walking training session.
“OH S***T!!!” he shouts realizing he only has 10 min. to meet his sensei for another grueling session of training. He throws on the clothes that had worn the day before, equipped his kunai holster and applied his headband quickly in an attempt to get to his destination on time. He then dashed out the door and began running to the river just outside of konoha. “Yeah... I…finally…made…it.” He said while panting.
He looked around. “HEY!!! WHERE’S JERAIYA SENSEI?!?!?!” he said angrily.
Meanwhile a man is seen stalking 2 beautiful young ladies relaxing in konoha’s local spring. He began sneaking towards the girls in an effort to remain unseen by their beautiful, deep-blue and green eyes. “Do you need a hand with that wash clothe?” he said with a smirk as if to “woo” the 2 girls.
A local villager then hears a loud piercing scream in the distance. He then rushed to the implied “crisis”.

There he was, Jeraiya, lying on the floor of the local spring with a small red hand print across his cheek, and the girl standing over him with nothing but a towel on, and a throbbing hand. “Serves you right, you old perv!!!” the girl says angrily.
“Are U alright lady?” the villager says in concern to the girl.
“This man tried to touch me!!!” she replied.
Meanwhile back at the river Okami sat impatiently waiting for his apparent perverted sensei.
“IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!” Okami says finally seeing Jeraiya emerge from the bushes.
“Sensei, what happened to your face?”
“Oh, nothing. Come now; let’s begin your training for today. Now what want you to do today is called a substitution jutsu. I’m going to hit you, and I want you to switch your body with an object.”
“Okay, I’m ready”
“Wham!!!!!!” Okami lied on the ground in great pain.

“OWWWW!!!! Why’d you do that sensei!!!?” Okami said grabbing his stomach.
“I told you I was going to hit you!” Jeraiya replied.
“Yeah, but not that hard!!!” Okami crouched over and started cursing under his breath.
“Well obviously, you don’t know the substitution technique!!!”
Okami hopped on to all fours, gave Jeraiya a glare, and charged in to his stomach.
“HAHA!!! Now look who doesn’t know the substitution technique sensei!”
Jeraiya lied on the ground in pain like Okami had done before.
“PPPPUYA” But no it wasn’t Jeraiya… it was a rock. Okami finally realized Jeraiya did know it, and was coming after Okami to get him back.

“crunch crunch” Okami could hear Jeraiya’s shoes crushing leaves into the ground.
He turns around but it wasn’t quick enough…. Okami had been hit in the face at running speed by his sensei.
“You little twerp!!! No one hits master Jeraiya and gets away with it!!!” he said with a smirk on his face. “What’s this?”
Where Okami’s body had lied once more, was a log.
“SMACK!!!!!!!” Okami had examined Jeraiya’s movements and copied the substitution jutsu.
“I can hit you any day sensei!!! YHA!!! I’m gunna be hokage!!!”
Jeraiya stood up, and put his arm around okami.
“Okami, I’m proud of you.” He said with a tear in his eye.
“Thanks sensei.” Okami replied
“ NOW, let’s go get some RAMEN!!!!!!”

Aiko continued to practice his Bunshin no jutsu. Everyone else still hadn't done it yet and it was going to take them a while.

The sensei came up to me and said, "Want to learn Henge no jutsu? I'm getting bored." He smiled he knew I wanted to. He took a step back so he wouldn't be so close to me.

Aiko smiled back and excitedly said, "Ok, if you wish." He was trying not to sound like he wanted it so much. Inside he wanted it really badly though.

The sensei repeated, "Just do what I do." He did some hand signs that I was memorizing. He said, "Henge no jutsu" so fast I barely heard it. POOF! A puff of smoke was around him then he turned into a bum. Noone even noticed him. He turned back to his regular self. "Your turn now."
Henge no jutsu: 1/3


My eyed opened wide as he turned back. I never knew that you could do that. I stopped practicing Bunshin and began my first try on Henge no jutsu. I began to do the hand signs very slowly. He did a lot more this time and he did them a lot faster. "Ok, I got it now." I did the hand signs bery slowly. I yelled, "Henge no Jutsu!" A puff of smoke appeared. Nothing had happened.

Somebody called for the sensei. The sense said, "Keep trying" and then left to help the other kid with their Bunshin. It looked like he didn't even want to do it.

I was thinking that he wasn't suppose to be teaching me seperately. I thought to myself. Oh well. I didn't want to practice without sensei though so I just waited there.
Henge no jutsu: 2/3


The sensei got back from helping a kid with his Bunshin even though the kid still wasn't successfull with his Bunshin. He said, "Have you been practicing?"

I said, "No, I wanted to wait for you." I started to scratch my head and I frowned. "I didn't think I could do it again." Aiko sneezed out of nowhere. "Bless me. Thank Me. I'm Welcome."

The sensei smiled and chuckled. He said, "You'll never get things done if you don't ever try to get it done without my help. I won't always be there to help you. Now do it again."

I said, "Ok, I'm sorry sensei." I did the hand signs that the sensei taught me. I did them faster than I did them before at since I memorized them better. I siad firmly, "Henge no jutsu." A puff of smoke appeared and there I was. I looked exactly like the sensei."

The sensei said, "Good job." Everyone by then had finally found out how to do the Bunshin no jutsu. They were watching me do my Henge no jutsu. Everyoen clapped for me. I thought they would get mad at sense sensei didn't teach them that.
Henge no jutsu: 3/3

Aiko went home after a long day of training. He had learned two jutsus that day. He wanted to learn a new one. He went to sleep really fast so that the day can be over and a new day will began. He got to the Academy at six in the morning. A note on the door of the academy said that sensei was at the Spiritual Water of Konoha. It also said that I had to run there and he would know if I did. I knew that he would know because he knows everything. It's really weird and hard to explain. So I ran all the way to the Spiritual Water of Konoha. I saw the sensei there. I still hadn't stopped till I actually got right in front of him. I didn't want to run anymore. I was so tired or running.
Water Walking: 1/6

Sensei looks down at me. He says, "You're early. The whole class isn't here." He begins to feel proud of Aiko. He is also thinking to give him private lessons that no one knows about. "Well today we were going to learn how to walk on water. At since the class isn't here yet I guess I can teach you early. See what happens when you are early instead of late?"

Aiko started jumping. "Your the best sensei. I'm going to come early everyday. I will never stop trying. Believe it!" I stopped jumping and calmed down. I said nervously, "Are we going to start now? It's kind of cold out here and I want to get moving so I can warm up if it's OK with you of course."
Water Walking: 2/6


Sensei said, "Then let's start. Here is what you do. You focus your chakra to your feet. It is actaully very easy. Watch me. There are no hand signs or anything you have to say." Sensei walks over the spiritual water and sits down. He jumps up and down on the water and still doesn't fall down. He walks back over to me. "Well actaully it's more about being as light as a feather."

"That looks so easy." I start walking toward the middle of the water. "Easy as -" I drop into the water. I go all the way to the bottom the come back up. "I did that on purpose. I just wanted to see how deep it is." He was lying. I went back onto the dry land.
Water Walking: 3/6

Sensei said, "You can do it. Hold up, I think I see some of the kids. Keep trying while I teach these kids how to walk on water." The kids ran up to the sensei. The sensei reapeated and did the same things that he said and showed to me. The kids started to try to walk on water. Some of the kdis were doing better than me.

I said, "Wow! I guess this isn't my specialty. I can still do it though." He started to walk over the water. He was closing his eyes concentrating so hard. He opened his eyes and he was still doing good. "Now I just need to go faster." He ran over the water. He felt a lot better than before. "Now I have to sit down. I know I'm going to get wet again."
Water Walking: 4/6

Sensei yelled, "You guys can do it." Some of the girls looked at him. "And girls!" The children continued working on walking. It was about three hours of training. Most of the kids have already learned how to walk and do things on water. They were either play fighting or playing tag.

Aiko wanted to fight or play tag so badly. He sat down on the water without a problem. "I think I'm getting the hang of this." Aiko smiled and laughed. "This is so freaking cool. I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life and I'm not going to forget it." He stood back up. "I don't want to jump. I might go through the water." He looked down into the water. Some of the kids were swimming.
Water Walking: 5/6


Sensei yelled, "Remember, concentrate. I know you can do this! Just concentrate!" He ran down next to me. "I'm here, now jump so you can master this."

Aiko jumped and closed his eyes. He landed. A splash didn't go off. He opened his left eye to take a peek if he was actaully above water. He was. He started cheering and jumping. He hugged the sensei. "I did it! I can't believe I did it!" Later on, he played tag and ruff housed with some other kids. That was probably going to be the only time that he was going to have a good time at the academy student.

Sensei conragulated me and hugged me back. We all played a game called "Predator and Prey." You are suppose to hide and don't let anyone see you. You have to move each round to a new spot where they won't see you. I won everytime even though I cheated by using my Henge no jutsu acting like a leaf falling from a nearby tree.
Water Walking: 6/6

"Okay" says Ryutachi's new sensei "I believe you can skip the tree climbing and do the water walking because if you can walk on water you can climb trees" Sensei says "you must summon a constant amount of chakra and release it against the water so you do not sink." Okay sensei, i'll try." "Ok i'm ready to go" *splash!*

"Burr. *shiver* that water is really cold! Why didnt you tell me!?" Ryutachi yells. "Oh yes i forgot the water is cold. So the more you fail the colder you'll become. 'What the hell!? is he trying to kill me!?' Ryutachi thinks. "Cant you make it... y'know less cold?" Ryutachi says. Sensei replies "No! if you are to success you must work hard." "* Alright sensei..." sighs Ryutachi "I'll give it another go!" "Yes i'm getting this!" Ryutachi yells with joy *splash!* "you need to keep releasing a constant amout" explains sensei.

At the end of the day Ryutachi is freezing. "I'm *shiver* going home *shiver*" Ryutachi exclaims. "Ok 6 am tomorrow" sensei says. '!? that early!?' Next morning Ryutachi arrives but his sensei is not there. "Okayyyy...., i guess i'm suppose to start." mutters Ryutachi.
Later the afternoon Ryutachi can stay for a short period of time. *poof* "i can see you are getting the hang of this" sensei said. "Yea-" *splash!!*

"Here i brough luch go take a break." Says sensei. "Ok" mutter Ryutachi without hesitation. 30 min later Ryutachi is back in the water. *splash!* "not again!!!" Ryutachi yells annoyed. "You are makeing exelent progress Ryutachi" sensei says "most people do the tree climding and still have trouble with it." "Really!?" Ryutachi replies surprised. "Yes now get back to work" "Well that was almost pleasing." muttered Ryutachi.

Next day. "Ok now you can walk on water" said sensei, "but your only halfway done." What? Whats next!?" replies Ryutachi. "You must be able to release chakra on your body if you are fighting and you fall." sensei explained, "its just a simple as standing on it. i'll push you over and you must form the chakra to repell before you fall. Ok? Simple enough" "Ok we'll begin by staying on the water for a few minutes. I'll push you down."
After a while Ryutachi gets it, if he falls he'll be up and ready to fight again.

"Ok. you'll be continuing yesterdays lesson." says sensei. "I thought i was finished?" replies Ryutachi. "Nope. Today i'll be pushing you with your eyes closed so you can reacts at a moments notice." explained sensei, "ok we'll begin." *Spash!* 'i knew doing this in the fall was a bad idea.' Ryutachi thought. "Ok close your eyes Ryutachi" *push* 'now!!!' Ryutachi opens his eyes, hes floating above the water. "Yes finally!" the overjoyed Ryutachi yells. "You have completed it Ryutachi" sensei says, "good work"
water walking 6/6 complete

After learning the "Tree Climbing Technique", sensei walked every kid home. It was actaully very easy for him. He just used his "Kage Bunshin no jutsu" to carry everyone home. Everyone got a good nights sleep and woke up. The next class was at noon exactly. It was a warm and sunny day. The sky was clear and light blue.

I was walking to the academy with some of the older kids in the academy that were my age. I knew that we were the cool kids and that we were the best in our group. So we walked all the way to the academy. When we got the it was at least eleven. We got to start early even though he said we was going to start at twelve. Some kids started to get there by twelve. There weren't any kids late though. I was actaully surprise.

Sensei stopped in the middle of the conversation once everyone was here. He started all over from the beginning. He went a little bit faster so that it wouldn't take a full hour again. I probably didn't even have that much patience. I would've blown my head off. He was talking about how to switch places with the tree and yourself. He said, "It's not going to be easy like everytrhing else.

I looked at the tree that we was suppose to switch with. It didn't look so easy. I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. He looked back at the sensei while he was talking. He was just so bored. He looked at the tree again. He looked back at the sensei. He looked at the tree one more time. He got up and ran toward the tree. He did some random hand movements and yelled, "Art of Substitition!!!" He kep running. His head hit the tree. The sensei just ignored me like the whole class. I sat back down and started to listen again.
Art of Substitution: 2/4

Sensei started talking, "The whole point of the Art of Substitution is to avoid projectile objects. Like always, just do what I do. You can't just always count on me to copy from though. Sooner or later you will have to just know it rather than copying it again from somebody." The sensei did a few hand signs. He didn't do that many. He gave me a shuriken to throw at him. He ran toward the tree and yelled, "Art of Subtitoin!!!" After that he said, "Now!!!"

I threw the shurkens at him. It hit and then a puff of smoke appeared. There lied a big block of wood. Sensei jumped over the tree and threw a kunai at me that landed an inch away from my toes. "That was very close sensei. Please don't do that again. I don't want my toes cut off." I then fainted.
Art of Substitution: 3/4

The sensei started to crack up. He actaully thought it was funny. He loves to get people really mad or really scared. He was litterally on the floor laughing is @$$ off.

Now it was my turn. We used rocks intstead of shurkens or kunais. I was actaully doing pretty good. It was my friends falt at since he threw it early. He also threw it at my head. When it hit my hhead it kind of hurt. I ran toward the tree while doing my hand signs. I yelled, "Art of Substitution!!!" He threw the rock at me. It hit me in the back. A puff appeared. A big block of wood stood in my place. I came from over the tree and threw a rock at my friend. It hit him in the head. I started to crack up.
