Welcome to Gaia! ::

" you need not concern about him im sure he is fine . " Ayami stated as she slowly rose to her feet after the long hard fought battle . The feeling in Slade's legs would soon return which would allow him to stand upon his own two feet ." Im sorry i can't help you up but i can't stay here any longer . " Ayami stated as she start to walk off in her own direction . She was probably heading home and recover from the battle . She still had alot of training to do before the Jounin exams . Ayami would set her heart on being ready for the challenges that lie ahead . " Arigato Slade-kun " Ayami said as she made her way toward Konoha .

Arriving at the docks of Hidden Grass Tsuki had found it easier if she stayed away from flying for awhile. Though she didn't get tired all too much from it she still preferred to conserve her energy every once and a while, not to mention that she enjoyed the view of the ocean one she was on the boat. Yawning faintly Tsuki began to look around, the area seeming pretty peaceful, the grassy plain swaying in the breeze slowly. The blades of grass dancing in the wind. Focusing her body and mind as the Spiritual Blade sheathed behind her began to vibrate and glow a light blue, looking back to it Tsuki looked forwards using the blade as a type of item finder since artifacts normally tend to react to chakra signatures similar to their own. It made it that much easier on her when she went 'hunting', though really she was only taking something that rightfully belonged to her anyway. Though as she looked around she didn't see anyone but average villagers going on with their everyday lives.

"It's suppose to be here, my blade is reacting and all of the rumors pointed to the Grass Village, but where is that Tanto? I don't see it anywhere."

Even with her Ryuugan she had a hard time pinpointing its location exactly since there were so many villagers, though as she followed the presence she felt she was slowly lead to a rather large grassy meadow that was near the main part of the village probably where most of the farming took place. Though she'd be sure not to try to mess up any of the plants, she didn't want to screw over their agriculture after all. Now where was that darn Tanto? She had many other things to take care of this afterward...well, not really.

Walking along the field of grass Tsuki hesitated for a moment, freezing in her tracks as she blinks curiously and in awe, seeing the rotating blade hovering in mid-air above the grass. Shining faintly as she recognized it from the descriptions and pictures she saw when reading up on her family's history...as bleak as said history was anyway. Though Tsuki was no fool there was no way that the blade was that unguarded and was just randomly placed in the open field so anyone can just come by and take it when ever they wished.

"No way in hell it's this easy.....Kage Bunshin no Jutsu...."

She commands, connecting her index and middle fingers together for the necessary hand seal, several copies of herself form beside her. Around a good six of them actually. With hand commands and sign language to each of them the strategic young kunoichi had them all spread out the field, keeping their distance until she gave them the word. Motioning two fingers to go to the blade, the six clones began dashing towards the blade before slightly taking flight, hovering from the ground as they each headed towards the Tanto to remove it from its holding place in order to claim it.

"Just as I thought...to easy to be true..."

Tsuki mumbles beneath her breath as she watched the Tanto fade away only to reappear, multiplied into the dozens. Surrounding her as all of the blades looked exactly the same, rotating at the same time and hovering above the grass. There were one hundred of them easily. Sighing weakly she and her clones began to hover more off of the ground, not exactly trusting the sounds around them right now, she made another hand seal, performing the Mass Replication technique to multiply her shadow clones even further. Having created just enough to match the number of blades. A massive burst of smoke erupts around the field, making way for the clones, having had them spread out so each on of them were by a blade, having been glad that she had such a large chakra output or else she would've had a much harder time creating so many clones at once. Ordering each of them to try and take one of the swords, surely one of them had to be the original. There was the chance that this was all a trick but she would've seen through the genjutsu with her Ryuugan Eyes already.

The Gearshadow looked down at the quaint little village with it's strange fascination with the grass growing around the village. "Well one small step for Loki, one massive leap towards controlling the world." Finally finishing his handseals he snapped his fingers "Time Out!" that familiar strange pulse shot through the village catching villagers unawares and rendering the village for the most part quiet. The only sound was the sound of the tromping feet of the C.O.G his own force of ANBU black ops they were sweeping through the village finding their targets and aprehending them.

"Who said anything about an attack?" the ANBU leader looked at the man seeming to sprout from the ground. "I'm just doing a little research. My findings are disapointing..." the man snapped again, and he was gone, or at least he and his ANBU seemed to be gone, only a few people in the village seemed to be missing... how strange.

After leaving from Hidden clown, Knight and Dawn boarded the boat to hidden Grass. There was no real reason for them to head to Hidden grass, just a village they had never been to before. It was good for a ninja to be well traveled. The more expierences you encounter, the more likely you'll be able to survive in a surprise situation. If you have encountered something like it before then you could survive an other wise fatal encounter with a foreign ninja. If you've been to their village before and know of their jutsu, then you can beter counter it when you next encounter them. Hidden Grass was no exception and the twins wanted to become very familiar with all the villages in order to be good, peace keeping ANBU. The village hidden in grass was very far from HIdden clown, as Knight and Dawn soon found out. They had to go around a penninsula, get off at Hidden Leaf and transfer to a different boat. In the process of this, the twins were wondering whether or not Hidden Grass was even worth going to. Of course it was, stated Dawn, when ever Knight wanted to leave off the boat and get away from the boredom of the long ride. To pass the time, knight struck up a conversation with Dawn about them being ANBU when they got to be Jounnin. "Maybe we should get matching masks, so that we will be indentical. The enemy couldn't tell which one of us was who. That would be so cool. We could also use clones to fake them out and think that it's the real one and not a fake. We will have so many tactics I can't wait brother! Me and you, the greatest ANBU to ever live!" Dawn smiled and then put in his idea. "We have to make a rule though, no talkig when in battle. Like we have to be mysterious, two ghosts attacking the enemy will totally throw them off. They will be petrified with fear." Knight was getting very excited now, he wanted to be a jounin already so bad. He could hardly wait for the chunnin exams to start and he and his brother dominate.

Then Knight began to think about their last visit in Hidden Clown, they had run into the destroyed city and met the beat up clown who taught them how to swallow fire. But then they just left. They weren't strong enough to stay and help out and just left. What kind of future ANBU were they? Dawn saw the troubled look on his face and decided to talk to him about it. "Brother, what troubles you so that you can't even look happy When we talk about our future as ANBU?" Dawn knew something was bothering him because Knight was never gloomy when it came to talk about being an ANBU. "I was thinking about how Hell raider had destroyed the whole Hidden Clown village and how bad I wanted to help out and fix it and save the people, but because we were only Gennin, we couldn't. I wish we were stronger and jounin and even ANBU so we can acually fight for good insted of just slinking around in the background...." Dawn knew what his brother was talking about, he felt the same way. They always ran away when they had what they needed. They left that poor hidden clown resident by himself. All they had said was thank you and they left snuggly with their new jutsu. Dawn decided right then and there that this would never happen again. Next time they were in the area where people were hurt and a village was destroyed, they would help out as much as possible. "Next time, we will help, no matter what it cost us okay? I can't live with the regret that we could have done something. Do you agree Knight?" He looked up smiling, his brother always knew how to cheer him up, and this time was no exception. "Yes, I will take you up on that offer, we will do what ever we can to help out, even if it costs our lives!" He stood up with his last proclamation, and then sat down embarassed. "Well yea you get the idea..." Dawn smiled and then started to laught at his brother. He was so silly, but easily the more serious of the two.

At that time, the boat concluded it long trek to hidden grass and the two sound ninja got off the boat in silent ectasy. They, or atleast knight, half wished the village would be burning and under seige so they could fight off the attackers and protect the village. Unfortunetly, this was not the case and the the grass was quite undisturbed, no pun intended. That was the first thing they noticed about the village, the grass was near perfect, if not perfect. Each blade was evenly spaced with a perfect amount of it. It was never over grown any where, neither under grown any where else. Whether this was due to a jutsu or just a man or women's hard work they could not figure out, but it was incredible. Dawn almost didn't walk on it due to it's beauty. Knight was expecting a do not walk on grass sign to show up any time with an old man saying get off his lawn. Either way the twins continued on there treck, their heads down admiring the wonder of nature under their feet. Suddenly the wonder of nature shot up around them and began to form a prison type of thing. They were held in place, un able to move. Their heads were held in place looking forward. A man came up behind them and asked them a question, staying out of their line of sight, to remain annonymous. "Who are you, and what do you want with Hidden Grass?" The twins squirmed in their prisons, trying to get free but to no avail. Finally Dawn answered, as it seemed to be the only way to get free again. "We are hear on a peace misson, not hostility in mind. We want to learn jutsu and any other lessons we might learn from this wonderful village." The man behind them seemed to be thinking, and then the prison started to receed. Knight flipped around to look but there was no one there, they were alone. "That was weird, I guess he was taking precautions though." Said Dawn, knowing that if strange ninja were coming to his village, he would most likely do the same.

After their little run in with the locals, the sound ninja finally reached the Village it self. The houses were all made of the abudent grass. Dawn marveled at how they were formed and walked threw admiring the architecture of the Grass ninja. Knight was looking for the ninja who en trapped them. He was a little mad about it. He also wanted to learn the jutsu they used on him, a prison of grass was quite useful, since grass is every where. He wondered what other kind of unique jutsu he could learn here, with all the grass around and such. He becan to think of how he could incorperate the grass into his ANBU jutsu. Making weapons out of no where, making prisons and all the other unique things that this place was capable of ran threw his head. The enemy couldn't get away, grass was every where. The village was much smaller than Dawn thought it would be, as it had no hotel for the night, and the village center was discovered unintentionally by the twins in a few minutes. There were plenty of natural and unatural things to look at. Weapons made from the enviroment, strange alien looking fruit and ninja galore. They were every where, just seemingly growing out of the ground to apear where they wanted. Knight liked the idea of apearing when ever and noted to himself that he would try to learn this jutsu if it was possible.

A man saw them wandering and walked up to them. He adressed them in a cool demenor. "If you want to learn some jutsu, follow me." He turned and headed into a house to their left. Knight reconized the voice as the man who had trapped them earlier. That was the only way he could have known they were going to ask some one about learning jutsu anyways. Knight stormed off into the house to confront the man, while Dawn walked much slower behind, hoping his brother wouldn't embarrass them. He opened the grass door a few minutes later to see him brother locked in another grass prison with the ninja infront of him. "Your brother has quite the mouth, especially considering that I offered to teach you two jutsu. I am thinking about taking my offer back." Dawn shook his head and apologized for the out burst he missed, but was sure was an intense one on the hands of Knight. "He didn't know what he was doing and is very bad with his temper. I wish you to teach us regardless of this issue please, if he didnt insult you." Pleaded Dawn. The grass ninja looked at Knight and released the jutsu binding him in place so that Knight had his freedom. Knight looked as though for a moment he was going to hit the ninja, but seemed to reconsider it. Once he seemed straight on the idea that he wasn't going to hit the grass ninja, he took a step back to be parralell with his brother. The ninja smiled and showed them a few hand signs. Then, he sunk into the grass and was hidden within it. His voice was heard by the brothers when he spoke, but they couldn't pin point his location. "This is the grass concealment technique, we grass ninja do it to blend into the grass, and then travel around. As long as you don't move too much or too fast, you should remain hidden within the grass and dirt." The twins then tried and they too were consealed with the grass around them.

Then the twins came out of the grass and bowed to their master. They headed out of the tent and Knight spoke to his brother. "Why couldn't we fight that guy? He trapped us earlier and we had him right there." Dawn shook his head at his brothers silly ideas. "We just learned a very good jutsu brother, it was better for us to let him off and learn then punish and gain nothing." Knight shrugged in anger and trudged on as they reached the docks.

As Sakumo was sent spinning and whirring away from her from the Oodama Rasengan that struck Tsuki smirks as the man was ripped up and torn to near shreds. Seeing the lifeless corpse resting on the ground Tsuki slowly began to approach him though before she could take a mere three steps the White Fang of Konoha had risen once more, though of course Tsuki should have figured such since the man was the undead after all. Though he had no exhaustion in that body of his and could revive himself when knocked down with a killing blow. How was Tsuki suppose to kill this man? She knew what being dead was like before though she was risen as herself not as a bloody corpse. Perhaps ripping him to shreds was more in order? Though a part of her felt as though she couldn't bring such disrespect to the corpse of her ancestor. A flurry of kunai being thrown towards her in random directions, she grunts beneath her breath as she removed a feather quickly from her hair, using her Wing Material technique to form a long sword, knocking them off course. As Sakumo vanished from sight, Tsuki began to focus her mind on the wind current around her, feeling a feint but most powerful gust of wind race past her. Quickly turning her gaze around as she pivots around on her back foot Tsuki brought her free arm around up to guard against the White Fang's flurry of punches and kicks, her left arm getting slash several times in the process. Wincing and grunting in slight pain Tsuki hops back several feet before slashing her sword in thee air in a whip like fashion as it extended and began to wrap all around Sakumo with the Sword Scepter technique.
