Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kazin really couldn't evade the attack, it was too swift, and direct. Kazin could only try to shift his body to try to make the blow cover as much of his body as possible to tone the damage just a slight bit. As Kazin received the blow, he was knocked back from the immense force. He picked himself up off the ground, and steadied himself.


Kazin wanted to end this brawl soon, or else he would have a pair of broken ribs and some serious injuries. Kazin gripped his axe in his right hand. He mustered up the strength, and rotated his right shoulder. It was in pain, but he wanted to focus his might on this one attack. Kazin Charged at the bear, using both of the axes to strike towards both the bear's arms. He was making an inwards sweeping strike, to insure a good blow. Unless the bear could roll away, then the attack was almost sure to hit.

Ren continued leading Tatsuya to the Udai Council without a word. And so he remained silent for many hours, well into the night and early morning. Neko-chan remained less than a half-step behind him and now and then asked for food. Ren fed her some of the dried meat he had, tossing it up in the air for her to catch just like before. He snacked on that an another onigiri as well. At least he could say they were drawing closer. Neko-chan flicked her gaze up at Ren. Her eyes told him how much she didn't like this new person called Tatsuya. Ren's eyes responded, 'Yea, yea, jus' deal with it.' Neko-chan's eyes were pleading with him for what Ren could only guiess was the pockey in his mouth. So, Ren gave her a look that said, 'Like hell.' If cats could pout, she would be as she glared at him in a way that you could almost hear her eyes hissing, 'Stupid boy.' Ren gave a deadpan glare that muttered, 'Damn cat.' And that was how they communicated. Much easier way in Ren's mind. Required less talking.

As the sun as it slowly rose, Ren glanced up at it. Then over at the building that was coming closer and closer in sight. Letting out a sigh of relief, he was glad that after so many long, empty hours he was finally back. Though, he had a feeling they'd only be back for so long, seeing is Denrei had mentioned a mission for them when they returned. Ah well. It would give him something to do with his life. Right? Well, with any luck he'd get to learn that fighting technique first. But whichever was more important would be what would come first. He was fine with either. Not like he had much choice, right? So why make a big fuss? There was no reason. No reason at all. That was more or less how he treated everything in life. He found it was much easier to move along that way, adapt, flow with the changes in life. Because life would always be changing. And if you let yourself get hung up on every little thing, you'd never be able to move on.

BEAR!

I'm a bear...

The Bear looked down at Kazin as he attempted to Jump back away from the bears attack; however the attacks missed there main target and hit Kazin's Forearms, leaving 4 large Gashes on the Top of each of his arms. Kazin's attacks landing directly on the opposite side of the bears arms; gashing the bears arms under Sides.

...Rawr?

Ichite-ru Shujouteki

It's Just beneath the skin...

Suddenly Ichi was in the forest, his vision had blurred before he could see what had happened; but he had a note pinned to his skin; which made Ichi quickly jump and remove it; a few drops of blood falling from where the note had been. Ichi dropping the 'jar of bones' that he had with him; which was creepy in its own way. However Ichi remained carrying it; after reading the note, which held directions to the Udai counsel.... a moment later Ichi tore the not up, into hundreds of small pieces and let them blow away' within moments the notes would be scattered throughout the forest. Ichi sighed slightly and started towards the Counsel, the note said it was the best place to start so thats where he was going.

Monster

Snow? No.. not snow. It wasn't wet enough to be snow. Not even close... no it was... paper?

"Littering... that gets under my skin... don't people have any sort of respect for nature... or a hangover ~hick~?"

The rather upset form of a filthy man in his later 20s, early 30s sat up from beneath the leaves. He had been under there for... two weeks now? Maybe it was two months? Could it have been two years? Probably...

As if he'd been roused from a long nap, he rubbed his eyes. He scowered the area before setting eyes on the perpetrator.

"HAY! JACK a**! DON'T LITTER!"

As he shouted, he whipped his little sake gourd at Ichite-ru with speed and skill that was unmatched by most jonin with a kunai.

!~Get Down~!

...but the bastards learned how to swim!

As the gourd fell towards the ground, it exploded in a large puff of smoke to reveal the very same man who'd thrown it. Deftly landing on a lower branch, he squatted. Accusing eyes glared at him.
"Pick it up! Every little bit of it! Don't you know the world's all connected? Nature is EVERYTHING man. You, me, that dog s**t I stepped in, it's ALL THE SAME. ~Hick~"

Despite his "hick" at the end of his sentence, he seemed perfectly sober... and VERY pissed off.

!~Get Down~!

"TIME IS EPHEMERAL! NATURE IS FOREVER!" He belted and preformed a series of rapid hand-seals.

"Kagefuji No Jutsu!!!!"

Slowly at first, Ichite-ru noticed what might be construed as a shadow. However, it was not a natural shadow that a tree might cast... no, it was QUITE larger than that. At first it started out as a shadow that cast itself from the sky upon him. However it grew rather rapidly until the majority of the nearby forest was consumed by it.

Even with the cover of trees, Ichite-ru could see something that... well it made not sense. It if made sense, it would be HORRIFYING that any Kage could do something on that scale... let alone a bum.

Yes, above him sat a mountain. An entire goddam mountain. Not a small one. Not a hill. Not a crag. A VAST frosty peaked mountain that protruded from the clouds above. It hung upside-down in the sky, seeming to have grown from the clouds themselves. They obscured it's base now, but in a dozen seconds or so, it had emerged from the sky.


"PICK! THEM! UP!"
The man was panting as he strained to control his heavy breathing.

"NOW!"

!~Get Down~!

"You don't have any idea kid... all those chemicals and... preservatives they treat the paper with? Those things KILL plants! I don't care about your sea- wait what? What seal?"
