Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kazin's eyes widened. The veins around his eyes seemed to bulge as if he was using his Byakugan, but with much less extent.

"What is a squad's purpose than to fill the weaknesses made from the other shinobi with their own strengths. Even the legendary Sannin you speak of were a squad until Orochimaru tried to betray and kill them. True, you might become very strong on your own, but one can never be so perfect as to never need someone to support them mentally or physically. If you want to become a weapon, fine, but why not try to make friends along the way. Friends may create weaknesses in your life, but they also create allies. Why do you think the villages make alliances, not to be burdened by their alliance, but to ensure that they will have a friend in a time of need. Leading a sour life only leads to hatred and regret. I personally have felt hatred towards me and my family so fierce, that I could not walk down the street without being mocked and sneered at for being born. Do you see my eyes constantly filled with hatred and vengeance for the people that mocked me, no. I live my life to the fullest, and make sure I don't regret a single action that I take. I understand that the shinobi rules state that a ninja must not show emotion, but rules may have to be bent according to the situation. It does not say to not make friends. Why do you have to dwell in such a sour emotion that inhibits you from being a little open-minded" Kazin responded in a slightly vicious tone.

Kazin looked away, too angry to continue to look at her. At this point he really didn't care what she thought so he focused on the trees in front of him. His heart was pounding. His emotions were tangled and wrought with frustration. Kazin wanted nothing more right now then to prove his point. He wanted to face her in a match to prove that a shinobi with friends were just as strong if not stronger than one without. He clenched his fists, and continued on. As he continued on he placed a single finger to the middle of his forehead. As he concentrated, he tried to release his anger and channel it out of his system. He was getting too fired up and he didn't want to say something too harmful. His anger slowly slipped away from him and his heart returned to normal.

She tilted her head as she and San landed on the ground, looking down at Ichi. “Ne? What‘s wrong, Ichi?“ Kiko asked. She tried to explain things to him, and calm him down. “Pretty cool, ne? The jutsu that goes with it is even cooler-it can dent giant summoned gates! Though, first things first, me and San have to work out a few kinks before we can really use it properly, and safely…“ Kiko bent down and gave San a bottle of water, letting the tiny dog drink the whole bottle, before rushing around the camp to make small niches in the surrounding trees, both the upper and the lower levels. When she was finished, Tsukiko tapped her foot on the ground, and motioned for San to start. “Begin!” San barked, leaping up against the trees with a spinning motion. Kiko pulled Ichi closer to her, though she kept her distance-after all, Ichi got nervous being in close quarters with anyone. “Better not get too far out of this radius,” Kiko said, pointing around to the trees. “San’s urine is very acidic, and even though I am a medic-nin, it would still hurt like hell and be a pain in the a** to get it out of your eyes. And it stains clothes too-trust me.” San was leaping in the air, turning small circles. “More speed!” Kiko called out, motioning for San to spin faster. San spun wildly, picking up speed as she ran through the branches. “Begin marking NOW!” San yelped, and spun, urine splattering the trees in a circular motion. She was hitting the general area of the targets, but….”Again! Focus!” Kiko seemed to be pushing San a bit-she wanted to push the little dog to the extreme. Her hand smacked the her other hand, making a tempo of sorts. “Go go go! Mark in the right spots! Make sure you get the exact target, or we won’t be able to use that jutsu properly!” Kiko grinned at Ichi, before trying to explain, while San was still marking. “You see, the jutsu that we’re going to learn….well…we’ll be blind, essentially. We spin at such high speeds that we are literally blinded by the force we’re causing. So, in order to track where our opponent is…well, San has to mark them.” She sighed. “And usually it takes a split second to mark or miss, so it needs to be trained to where everything is of a high enough caliber so that we don’t miss. This jutsu takes a lot of chakra, and hit and miss could cost us dearly-in the olden days, one could perform it twice before needing days of rest.” San barked, trying her best to mark the targets as accurately as possible. Spin, leap, spin, leap, twist, spin, leap….A few minutes later, San plopped onto the ground unceremoniously, blinking. “Finished.” The little dog was pooped-Kiko sniffed around the trees, pin-pointing the locations of where San had marked the targets. “Smells good to me, San. Nice job!”

Ichi remained laying on the ground for a moment as Kiko asked him what was wrong. "U-ummm... I j-just w-wasn't expecting t-that" Ichi said still a bit shaken from what had happened; however as Kiko later asked if he was hungry; of course after she had set up the camp (without letting Ichi help due to there being nothing he could have helped WITH) Ichi nodded slightly. "U-ummm... I g-guess" Ichi said looking at Kiko; he was guessing that she was commenting that he could catch fish but you never knew with Kiko.

As Kiko started to strip Ichi instantly cover his eyes so that he didn't see her. "K-kiko!" Ichi stammered until he heard that loud splash. With that Ichi slowly moved his hands away from his face only to see a Fish soaring directly towards him; Although Ichi managed to catch it, it was more as though he had flailed his arms wildly and the fish just luckily landed in his arms. Ichi was shocked as he looked down at the fish that was in his arms, flapping around wildly, Ichi's coat now soaked with water.

As Kiko said to take his coat off the boy looked at the first before dropping it on the ground, before removing his coat, however as he looked up he was the second incoming fish; this time Ichi didn't bother trying to catch it; he simply ducked, the fish shooting over his head like a rocket, towards the camp. As A few moments after this happened and Kiko asked Ichi how he liked his fish the boy slowly looked up only to quickly look back down once more. "I d-dont know...." Ichi said still looking down. "C-can... y-you get d-dressed.... p-please?" Ichi asked still looking directly under him at the ground between his feet.

As Kiko bent over and looked up at Ichi; the boy jumped slightly backwards, almost falling over but catching himself at the last minute. "A-alright..." Ichi said answering both the comment about her cloths as well as the comment that the two of them should go get some firewood. "L-lets.... g-go then?" Ichi asked at he looked around, he knew you shouldn't tak branches off of live tree's seeing as how they didn't burn well; but he couldn't see very many branches that where on the ground at least; none around them.

Ichi hadn't heard Kiko when she had made the comment that the bite mark on Ichi's shoulder looked a bit like a tattoo. However as she made her second comment Ichi lookd over his shoulder at her. "U-Umm.... s-sure?" Ichi said a bit confused about why she would want to look at it but he wasn't going to tell her no. Ether way Ichi simply started to look for some fire wood in order to keep there fire going once it started.
