Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naruto blew up a baloon full of air. "Now you will have to rotate the chakara with out popping the balloon. This will take 100% chakara control. When you can randomly move the chakara around in the balloon with out oppping it you will have pretty much completed this jutsu." Hurdy took the inflated balloon and put it into his left hand. Then with his right he began revolveing the chakara like in step 1. Then he put in more chakara like step 2. Finally the chakara was immense and the balloon hadn't popped yet. "Naruto...NARUTO WAKE UP!!!!!" Naruto snapped up and saw Hurdy with the un opped balloon. "Good, now try it with out the balloon and blow up a tree." Hurdy in balanced the flow so the balloon would pop and then started it with out any thing just in the palm of his hand. When it was rotateing at an incredible rate, Hurdy pushed it towards a tree. The tree was blown in two and Lit on fire. "Hurry Hurdy, lets get out of here."

"Bye Naruto, I'll see you later then. Proubably to learn that upgraded rasengan. But next tim alright? Take it easy old friend." Hurdy and Naruto split up and went to each of their Hotels. Hrdy was not as nice as Naruto's but it would sufice for one night. He just hoped that they wouldn't get caught for the forest fire. "I hope no one gets hurt in the blaze, I would feal terrible. But that is the way of the shinobi. To kill. I will If I have to. And I want to be the best, then I will wipe out all the atasuki ninja. So first I must learn all the jutsu I can. Then I will take the exams and die, so that I may learn the jutsus known by the honarable dead. "

Hurdy dreamed about being the best ninja. He sat on a thrown 20 miles into the sky in an enormous tower. People would come to im all day asking to meet with him about war and such. He would dismiss them and keep loungeing. If any one questioned him, he killed Them. He had the cloak and rings of all the akasuki members hanging in his throne room. In his liveing quarters, he had the best furniture around.and every level of his tower was filled with information. It was the biggest libarary in the world. It would take decedes to read through it's contents. But if one did they would be the ultimate ninja. That's why every day Hurdy made Hundreds of clones to read the books gathered from around the world. But then he woke up.

"Do you want that fruit old man?I can get it for you. Just tell me if you want it or not." The old man looked up at Hurdy as He asked him the question. "I would like the apple, but it is better if I get it. I would have the accomplishment of it and I might get some exersise out of it too. So young one the answer is yes and no. yes I want the apple, but no I don't want you to get it. I will get it myself.." Hurdy was surprised at the mans answer. The apple was clearly to high up for him and Hurdy could easily accsess it for him.
So Hurdy turned and left. But he heard the crunch of an apple. He turned and saw the man eating it with a snake slithering away. "What the?"

Hurdy needed to find the examiner. He decided to look it up in the library, they would proubably have the records of it there. So Hurdy went to the library and found the book that would list it. Her name was anko. "She trained under oroichimaru? This should be an interesting jutsu for me to learn. It will proubably have something to do with snake and such. Oh well, if it will help me in the exams, why not?" Hurdy closed the book and stepped out into the street. He kept walking and asked people if they knew were Anko was. They all sid the northest part of the city. So away Hurdy went. He was determined to learn from her and sought her out rigorously. Hurdy was almost going to give up when he asked a lady for directions, it happened to be Anko her self!!

Kumi Sachimyo sat on a bench, somewhere the gates into konoha. In her hand was a juice box, orange flavored, with a straw that barely peeked out of the box. Her eyes wandered around untill they met the ones of one of the jounins here. He looked away then began to talk to two others.
Kumi had always wondered what it would be like to be a jounin, although she never let her mind wander to the bad points about being one. She took a sip of her juice box, then wiped her mouth and stood up, with it clentched in her left hand.

Suoh walked through the doorway into Konoha. He could see a small shack manned by two jounin ninja making sure the Konoha ninja checked in with their completed missions. The countries were at peace right now so Suoh had nothing to fear by entering this city. His presence would be noted in one of the many reports intended for the hokage but most likely with a subscript that he was a ninja seeking training from an allied nation.

Suoh had no problem walking through the open street toward the sign noting the presence of the hospital. He passed two ninja who appeared to be from the waterfall village according to their headbands. Many small town ninja found their way to Konoha as a means of becoming ninja. Suoh had come for the same reason. The elders of his village had sent him to Konoha to take advantage of the peace agreements and round out his training. Suoh had been massing much chakra in the water arts and even expanding his chakra to use earth style technique which were very hard to use for many Mizu. Suoh's first task was to locate Haruno Sakura at the Konoha Hospital to learn Genjutsu Release, which would be invaluable to him as a ninja and a chuunen who would be accepting higher ranked missions.

Suoh walked up to the front desk where a medical ninja was completing some forms. The woman looked up at Suoh, "I am looking for Haruno-sensei" Suoh announced. The person stopped filling paperwork and turned pulling on a long string. Somewhere above him Suoh heard a little tinkling. Suoh quickly put together that the bell was to alert Sakura that she was needed when she was on the top floor in her office. Suoh looked to the stairs on his right as a woman came down the solid wood stairs. She wore a red kimono and looked quizically at the nurse behind the desk. "Yes," Sakura asked of the nurse. Sakura had come directly up to Suoh and had not even noticed him. The nurse nodded in the direction of Suoh and went back to her paperwork. Sakura turned to Suoh and gave him a big smile, "May I ask what a mist ninja would want with a medical ninja at this time of day? You don't look injured."

Suoh looked back to her for a moment taken aback by her warm welcome, "My elders have sent me to Konoha to round out my training. I am supposed to learn Genjutsu Release."

Sakura smiled back at him, "Well. Today is a particularly slow day." she turned back tot he desk, "Nurse, I will be back shortly."

Sakura led the wave back down the street and out of the town. "What is your name?" she questioned

"Suoh Mizu" he replied. She actually stopped midstride, "I knew a great Mizu once." was all she said before continuing

Many people in the street stared at the oddly paired couple. Sakura, a konoha medical ninja, leading a nameless Mist ninja outside the citiy. Seeing both outside in the daylight were odd occurances for the normal occupants of Konoha.

Sakura stopped when she had taken Suoh just outside the view of the town. "Lets see what talent you have naturally" she began

Sakura performed several hand signs. Suoh could feel his chakra very delicately being assaulted by something hidden in the air. The trees and his teacher faded away. Suoh blinked to try and correct his vision but was left surrounded in darkness and a vortex of pink cherry blosoms. He could feel small pinpricks all over his body. Suoh increased his natural chakra flow. He could feel the energies of his body speeding up. The pinpricks subsided until Suoh could only feel a far away breeze.

Without blinking the world got light again and stopped spinning until Suoh's vision was back to normal. Sakura stepped closer smiling at him.

Sakura began her explanation of her technique, "The pinpricks you feel along your limbs were my chakra seeping into your pores in order to fool your eyes. By increasing the speed of your chakra flow you created a natural shell that could not be penetrated by the delicate illusionary chakra. Genjutsu release focuses the chakra to speed it up simply by meditating on a hand sign. Sakura lifted her hands and closed her eyes. Suoh could feel a light wind whipping around her. Suoh copied her. CLosing his eyes and could only see the symbol he was performing in his minds eye. His hands felt warm as he held the symbol. The longer he focused the more clearly things became in the dark. He could see light blue waves eminating outward from his body in his mind. With the slightest mental effort he was able to control the spin and frequency of the waves and thus disrupt incoming chakra. Such as the similar waves coming at his from Sakura.

SUoh realized something had changed. The vision of his mind's eye blurred. THe gentle waves were replaced with the violent flurry of blossoms. Sakura was performing her genjutsu technique again to blind him. Her illusion was much stronger this time. He felt almost no pinpricks. He understood it all in his head. The stronger the illusion the less the target can notice its effect. This technique was a first line of defence against losing sanity under the pressure of illusion techniques but it was not an ultimate defence against illusion chakra.

Suoh sped up his chakra and felt the blizzard of petals around his body slow. He focused harder and things clearly came into focus. He raised his heads upwards a little until he was not looking at the ground of his hands but rather Sakura. She nodded at him and headed back into town
