Welcome to Gaia! ::

Itachi looked and sighed slowly. He didn't care. He looked and he stood at the entrance of the village. He would wait for this kid to come back. He ws confident of his ablities that was for sure. Taking on the Mist village without back up.

"Eh...whatever."

Itachi sighed slowly as he waited.

((I gTG peace))

~There were two guards waiting for him at the top of the stairs, blocking the doorway into which he wished to go. His mind fluctuated slightly as he searched for an excuse that would allow him to get within the walls of the temple. His objective was so close and the guards were the only thing inbetween him. The walls and floors of this building weren't any mystery to him, he knew them like the back of his hand, though this wasn't saying much being that his hand was always gloved. This was his home, yet it felt so long ago that he had stood upon its doorstep.~

The guard to the right put his hand forward, ordering the boy to stop. He wasn't really what the guard would call a boy, but he was still alot younger then he. This particular guard had been a friend of the couple that raised the boy, though he had never been on speaking terms with the boy himself. It was odd though that this boy should show up here, for he had never ventured this far. Apparently the boy had finished his academy training faster then expected, cause he had only been gone a week, "Hey... what are you doing here? Your home is across town and you have no business here. This is the Mizukages temple, not a place to go for a Genin's training.

~Damian smirked beneath his hood, though withdrew this as he stood, his hood conceiling the headband that had a strike through it. He still didn't want it known his objective, though if he didn't come up with something soon, he'd be left try a more forceful way in. A thought occured to him as he listened to the man talk, "Excuse me, I've got some urgent news about a village that I must speak to the Mizukage about. I'd advise a fast entrance, for this information could mean a whole new war for our village." At this, Damians eyes traced that of the two guards. His eyes watched the one to the left more seriously, for he didn't know the man and therefore didn't know his reaction.~

A moment paused before the Guard reacted. This was serious and he knew it. If this boy indeed did have information, he'd be fired or disgraced if the information wasn't given directly to the Mizukage. It dawned upon him that this boy would have no reason to do anything wrong, for he had been taken in by this village, "I'll allow you to pass.... but I'll be in momentarily... should you wish any funny business..."

~Damians smirk spread slightly as he walked through the doors, a quick glimpse backwards making sure that he wasn't being followed. He quickly made his way towards the spot of his scrolls, his byakugan whirling within as he watched to make sure no one was around. The Mizukage himself was in the room next to the one where he needed to get to, so he'd need to be extra careful if he was to get out without being noticed. The house hadn't changed all that much since last he lived here, though there were some noticeable changes. Slowly, Damian uprooted the floorboard that held his lost jutsu techniques, his hands grasping them, tucking them beneath the sash around his waist. As he let the board loose, it creaked, alarming the Mizukage of his arrival. Damian snapped back to his feet, wondering what he'd do as the Mizukage walked into the next room, having a strange look about him as he stared at Damian.~

"What are you doing here?" said the Mizukage, standing slightly off balance upon one leg, having had a old battle wound in the other, "What business do you have with me?"

~Damian stood, his eyes racing frantically around. One of the guards was coming in through the front now and he'd be caught. If they saw what lie beneath his cloak, they'd know he was part of the Akatsuki and he'd be done for. There was only one way out of this situation now, though it was risky. Quickly, without pausing to say another word, Damian took the Mizukage by surprise, making a hand seal and placing his feet firmly upon the ground. The world seemed to still itself as Damian watched the Mizukage prepare to counter attack, though he hadn't known what was happening. Though the stillness in Damians brain was happening, everything in real world happened in the blink of an eye. Damian had used Jigoku no Jutsu, a technique he had created when he was Mizukage himself. Large amounts of Chakra were being pushed from his Tenketsu. This in turn caused a massive explosion to occur, though this time, Damian wasn't going to die. He knew what he had done wrong last time. As the smoke cleared, the Mizukage had been knocked free of the building, being as he had tried to shield himself. The two guards that were supposed to watch over the building though were dead. As the dust and rubble cleared way, the people of the Village stared onward at the site, Damian stepping down the rubble strewn steps, his hood back and his dead white eyes staring out upon the crowd. The women and children ran, though there were a couple of the Village Shinobi that planned upon stopping his escape. Damian knew he hadn't a chance against these villagers, being that he had already used most of his strength, so he had quickly made a shadow clone of himself while the dust was clearing. The real self was running off into the woods, limping slightly from a board that had struck his knee in the explosion. The shadow clone disguise wouldn't stand for long, so he needed to leave as soon as possible. As he rounded the trees, Damian made his way back to where Itachi stood, continuing his run. Quickly he made his way out of the village, nothing stopping him from what had been a easy snatch and run.~

((Whoa... I didn't notice how big this was til I was done. >.> Oh well, this is my 100th post anyways lol.))

Higen then performed the hand signs and said the name of the jutsu, disappeared and reappeared in the same spot. "What happened? Why didnt I move?" Higen asked sternly. Haku looked at Higen and replied in a cold, flat voice "You didnt put enough Chakra into the jutsu. Focus more all you need to pass is to appear 15 or more feet." Higen looked Haku in the eyes and nodded and began to focus.

the boy stood with his teachers on the surface of a small lake. Akuma could see they were in deep discussion over something, they kept glancing over furtively at ther young student. maybe it was his tattoos? Akuma didn't know he had tatoos until he had removed his coat and shirt but tatooed clearly on his forearms and his shins were 5 elemental symbols, air on his let arm, thunder on his right arm, fire on his left foot, and earth on his right and acording to his teachers the water symbol was printed on the middle of his forehead, he had had to check the last one by looking in the clear lake water to find his reflection. This of course wasn't the two elite nins conversation topic they dicussed the final tatoo on the boys back which covered most of it it was the symbol "shi" or death. A tattoo like this was not something seen very often, but it fufilled another one of the mizukages predictions and that could not be ignored. geizu SLipped into the water and then vanished off to deliver the news of the marking adorning this strange new student of theirs.

"Ok lets try this again" Nobuyuki focused his chakra into the hand signs and held this position for nearly a half an hour "I must succed this time" He continued to focus his chakra "I have it now" Nobuyuki released his chakra but only a light haze focused around his feet "That's it? No that cannot be it I have to master it like him just a good as he did" Nobuyuki sat down to rest for 4 minutes "What could I have done different. What is so hard about this technique what is so damn hard that is preventing me from mastering this technique?"

Nobuyuki put formed the hand sign again "Wait...." Nobuyuki put his hands down "Maybe it would work better if I was near a lake instead of a little pond. No I must continue my training where I stand now" He reformed his hand sign "Let's do this" He focused his chakra into his hands and the rest of his body to preform it "I am starting to get it" The result was that the hazed moved only around his body "Ok better now I can start truly training and spreading the area"

"Now boy focus your chakra into the puddle right there into turning it into mist and expanding it between you and me now!" Zabuza shouted and sounded way angry when he did say it "I'm waiting boy"

Nobuyuki jumped and preformed the hand sign while also focusing it on the puddle "I will master this Jutsu" Nobuyuki made mist come but yet again only around him "Why can I not master this jutsu"

"You fool you didnt focus your chakra properly now do it again!" Zabuza shouted at the young boy "You will die before you master this jutsu if you keep at this rate!"

"Now I want you to preform and make the mist cover the area like I did now!" Zabuza yet again shouted at the boy "You will continue to do this until you get it!"

Nobuyuki then preformed the hand signs and focused his chakra far more than before then said "Hidden Mist Jutsu" The mist had spread all across the area Nobuyuki then had mastered the jutsu with Zabuza-San's help and Zabuza stood there unimpressed

"Don't think you have it easy boy now you are going to train to master Water Prison Jutsu" Zabuza forced the next technique to be learned
