Aihi returned to the dojo and unpacked her backpack taking out the Shunko style scrolls. "Ok lets see what I have left." Her eyes scanned the scroll. "Foot Shunko and Shunko Slide. Hmm I guess learning them and any order wouldnt matter since i'll be learning to alternate regardless." she said as she put the scroll down. "But... to be smart about it I'll Start with Foot Shunko" She said taking a stance for the jutsu.

"I think i'll need a larger area to train in." Aihi said as she picked up the scrolls and placed them in her backpack. "I think I'll head back to the training grounds. I wonder what everyone else has been doing since I started Shunko? I wonder how Hayate's confidence is doing as well." Aihi walked out of the dojo and clsed the door behind her. as she headed for the Iwagakure Training Grounds. "I think i'll take up a few mission as well if things look pretty slack." she said as the wind blew through her hair.[Exit to Iwagakure Training Grounds]

Vincent stood beside Shinji looking at the Iwagakure dojo. Never before had Vincent felt more like a foreigner then standing in the dojo. He started to wonder if he should have his hair cover the symbol of his own village but then again that would have probably drawn a little more attention to himself.
Still he kept calm and followed Shinji's lead to the next artifact.

 Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | After walking through the streets at a leisurely pace, Shinji felt perfectly at home and in control here... which only made sense. He was in the Chuunin exams of course, but being able to be back in Iwagakure, even for a bit was a nice reprieve. Leading the way through the streets by memory, Shinji brought the team to the Iwagakure dojo. Stepping inside, shinji could see that the building was somewhat deserted, having found less use since the Academy was built. No matter however, as Shinji walked into a large open room, his feet creaking on the floorboards as he walked onto the mats of the room, looking around at the familiar settings.
"I spent a lot of my childhood here... learning, training... growing. To be brought back as part of another growing process is nostalgic to say the least." Looking around, he saw the large stone benches lined up in three rows where students sat to learn and take tests. standing on the training floor and looking up at the stands was somewhat of an experience for him as he could see how far he had come in all this time... no longer a student in many ways. turning around, he looked at Yamatano and Vincent, as he stood in the middle of the room, wondering what they should do. "Well, I got us here, but the riddle doesn't provide an action like the the others do... any idea on what to do?... or should we just wait?" He said, looking towards them quizzically.

Vincent looked over the clue once again:
Who is to say that all work and no play, leads to dismay? I'd rather some day,
Say I am great, because of what came, before all the glitz and before all the fame...
The blood sweat and tears soaked deep within shares the time and the pain spend building the name
All ninja start somewhere, but be on your guard, for when pebbles become boulders, the hammer falls hard.
He then couldn't help but crack a smile.
"You know, Shinji," He began, "My father once had a saying. He once asked me if I knew what it was that allows a dream to come true. My first answer was hard work. But he shook his head and smiled at me and said 'No, patience. Patience is what helps make a dream come true.' And that's what this riddle seems to say that in order for a pebble to become a boulder it requires patience and time. Don't you think that's true as well?"

As you stand there pondering what to do about the artifact riddle, the room suddenly begins to shake. Looking upward, you spot trap doors sliding open from the second floor as well as from all sides of the room. Still hearing the sound of loud rumbling, a continous barrage of large rocks comes shooting towards you. As the large boulders connect with the dojo floor, some create a small hole in the ground indicating to their heavy weight while others shatter sending rocks of various sizes all around.

Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | Aside from the fact that Shinji was not at all a patient person, the quiet of the room was starting to creep him out. He didn't like waiting, never did, and now was no exception. Vincent's words had wisdom behind them though and Shinji felt that he was on the right track and stood at the ready for whatever might come. Not long after he had resolved this in his mind however, Shinji thought he heard some shifting in the room and then was definitely sure that something was happening when the ground itself started to quake. Instinctively bringing his hand to the hilt of his sword, Shinji looked around cautiously, his senses heightened as his adrenaline kicked in, sending him into a fighting position, ready for whatever might come.
The first boulder came so fast, Shinji had barely seen it before he had time to register the fact that it had slammed through the ground, creating a gaping hole in the dojo floor. Just as this registered, he saw the top trap doors open up, as he looked up in just enough time to see see two enormous boulders fall down at them. 'LOOK OUT!", Shinji screamed as he pushed Vincent and Yamatano out of the way of the boulders, just in time as he leaped from his position, rolling across the ground, a large metal clank heard as he drew his weapon from it's clamp and stood upright at the same time from the roll. The boulders which fell immediately shattered, as did several others which had flown overheard, crashing into each other as debris from from all flew in all directions.
One piece, about the size of an orange completely blind-sided Shinji, striking him directly in the face, causing him to reel back from the force of the blow. When two others came however, Shinji recovered quickly, his adrenaline softening the pain of the blow, as well as the one positive side effect of his pain making the collision of the rock barely phase him. Swinging Forza at the perfect angle, the two basketball sized rocks shattered, spraying a flying spray of debris through the area, several shredded pieces of the rock cutting into Shinji's skin unbeknowst to him as small trickles of blood began to fall down his arm. "Fine Dojo... you wanna play... I'LL PLAY!"
Shinji's face turning from seriousness to an almost crazed enjoyment of the chaotic scene, he nimbly dodged a series of boulders, spinning and ducking into a role as they crashed into the ground around him. as he rose, he saw two giant boulder at least twice his size suddenly shoot out from the wall. Without even a second thought, Shinji channeled his bloodline chakra into Forza, the blade instantly glowing a silvery color as the sword lit up with the violent energy of his people, the sword practically screaming with chakra. With a single arcing swing, Shinji launched the blade out of his hand, as it flew through the air, shattering several smaller rocks on the way before it crashed into one of the large boulders, the energy from the sword suddenly exploding outward as it absolutely pulverized the rock into tiny particles which rained down over the area.
Then, charging forward, Shinji leapt up in the air, his arm already burning in agony as the pain of using his bloodline surged through his body. With his adrenaline pumping however, and through his training Shinji persevered, leaping up into the air taking the second boulder head on. Twisting his body to dodge another basketball size piece of debris, Shinji spun around in mid air, kicking out his foot towards the enormous boulder as his entire leg was suddenly engulfed in his bloodline chakra... the aura of the chakra violently surging off of him like crackling lightning as it glowed bright. His leg smashed into the boulder heel first, connected with the boulder and halting it's motion entirely, before it was instantly shattered into 100 pieces, all of the avoiding Shinji however as they flew outward from the force of his strike, crashing into the stone seats of the dojo in front of him with a barrage of chipping and cracking sounds as the seating area was decimated with debris.
Landing once more, Shinji instantly felt the pain in his arm and leg surge up once more as he was forced to stop, his body punishing him as the pain agonizingly filled his body. Another rock struck him on his back, but compared to his arm and leg it was nothing. Fighting through it all however, Shinji managed to regain control as he dodged and weaved his way back to his sword, spinning around and guiding it's path expertly as he deflected, destroyed, and dodged the remaining series of shrapnel, debris and rocks which flew his way as his teammates struggled against the trap along with him. Seeing another basketball sized rock suddenly flung at him, Shinji jumped up into a spinning back kick as he foot met with the rock, instantly changing it's trajectory to fly back through the sky, smashing perfectly into a rock just above Yamatano's head, crushing both of them harmlessly upon their impact as he returned to the ground, spinning around as he held Forza up to another rock barrage with two hands... the strong blade's edge holding off and deflecting the rocks as the barrage continued to come, forcing Shinji to continue evading and destroying them.

Vincent cursed himself for not being faster after Shinji had shoved him and Yamatano out of the way of the boulders. He hated the fact that he was so slow about this but he knew that there was no time to beat himself up. The rocks were about to do that for him.
He was amazed at the power that Shinji displayed and yet the shinobi was still a genin. It was then that Vincent got up with resolve to fight against the falling boulders. At first he wanted to use his Katon jutsus but he was fairly sure that the jutsus would only singe the boulders. He then thought that he could have used his Taijutsu against them but he knew that he wasn't strong enough to break through stones. And thus he simply dodged, dodged, and dodged the falling stones as they came to the ground. As they came to the ground he had noticed that these smaller rocks when they come together would become even larger rocks. So it would seem to try to break them or fight them would delay the process.

 Zin walked blindly through the village.He couldn't help but to feel like some sort of tourist. The people could tell,other than Zin's wide eyed look of every shop and every unique thing,that the natives deemed to be a normal part of life,his head band would be another give away of how far he truly was from home. Following the instructions the guard gave him,Zin slowly came into the area indicated as he saw the dojo up ahead as his group entered. Zin's serpent hues scanned the area lightly;large vast training grounds surrounding the dojo and oddly......something was amiss. As Zin walked a little closer he felt rather tremendous rumbles emitting from,what he guess was the dojo,as he looked back to his team mates,"Either someone is training very hard or.....This riddle does indeed lead to this place and someone has triggered something to happen within it."He said softly as the child looked back to the place he thought was the source of the dangerous happenings.

 David GreysonSunagakure | Ichibi Host | GeninTactics | Speed | Strategy | InsanityWalking through town, David was following the slight rumble he felt from the ground. If there was a clue, an oddity would most definitely lead to it. As he got close, and the rumbling seemed to increase, he actually smiled. "Sounds like a fun party." The boy joked, walking up to the door and stepping inside, just in time for a large rock fragment to fly past his face. Stopping short, he gazed in slight awe at the destruction within. Rocks falling everywhere, and one ninja bashing them away while the rest dodged. No surprise that it was the Iwa genin doing the bashing. "I think you guys should wait outside." He said, turning around and giving a wave towards Zin and the Aburame, before sliding the door shut and facing the room once more. "Now then, let's find this hammer shall we?" He muttered, eyes flashing around the room searching for the artifact. With all the chaos going on, it had to be there somewhere. As his eyes roved the room, David stepped inside, moving along the wall where the rocks wouldn't strike as often. Sure, he could probably take them head on, but there was this other team to worry about. He'd wait for the relic to appear, and grab it before the others could. [Chakra Point Total: 21/35]

After coming closer to the dojo Zin couldn't help but to rather confirm that the vibrations where indeed coming from the dojo. When David took the lead,he narrowed his eyes a bit and nodded,"I see....Be careful."He said softly as he waited until the door closed before moving. Zin couldn't let one person do all the work. Parting from the Abarume,Zin jumped then ran up the outer wall of the Dojo before ending up on the roof seeing if there was a way in first before breaking through. He was going to at least salvage one artifact for himself to claim.

With the appearance of another team, the dojo seemed to suddenly come to life as it rumbled loudly once more before another series of trap doors opened a few meters beneath the trap doors releasing the boulders. This time, canon like things slid out from them before lauching rocks roughly the size of baseball towards the center and sides walls of the dojo. With the smaller rocks flying through mid-air, its becoming more and more difficult to dodge. Amongst all the chaos, nothing particular stands out as all that's really going on at the moment is a continous barrage of rocks that even remaining by pressed against the wall won't do.

David GreysonSunagakure | Ichibi Host | GeninTactics | Speed | Strategy | InsanityDavid chuckled as the walls began spitting rocks upon his entry. "Seems the dojo doesn't like me." He laughed, the rocks seemingly bouncing off of thin air as they got near him. In reality the sand shield was spitting out tiny blockages, just enough to deflect the small rocks away from him. It was enough to keep the annoyances away from him, but not enough to show anyone what was really happening. "Nice weather we're having eh?" He smiled, walking across the room towards the Iwa genin, twisting around every so often to avoid the larger rocks as they fell. This was fun! Standing in the middle of what some would consider a death trap, completely unaffected! It was the most fun he had had in his life! Now if only the artifact would appear, he could grab it and move on. Hopefully the others would be ready outside, just in case the other team got upset about his little intervention.

Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | It wasn't that Shinji hadn't seen the sudden visitor skulking against the wall, it's just that he was far too busy attempting to not be crushed by rocks to do anything about it. He had managed to continually dodge and crush many more of the rocks that flew by, taking only minimal damage from certain angles at point, but his arms at this point were well more injured then Shinji would be able to feel or let on.
As the seconds volley began however, Shinji was starting to wonder when the hell it would ever end. Tired of merely deflecting things with his sword, Shinji stabbed Forza into the ground, running across the landscape to tear up the tatimi mats, revealing solid earth beneath it before he began to weave a few quick hand seals... "Doton: Ohitsuji Kashira" Slamming his hands to the ground, a wall of earth in the shape of a half-dome rose up out of the ground in front of him, as he could instantly hear it begin to work as it deflected and absorbed a multitude of rocks thrown toward him. Shinji then ducked and weaved around his team, repeating the jutsu twice more, giving each of his teammates the same wall, which would protect them at least on one side form the rocky barrage.
With his back now to the Ram's head which protected him, Shinji had resorted to crouching down, using Forza to deflect the few rocks that still flew towards him as he watched the young ninja who was from another team begin to oddly approach. The boy seemed to simply be walking towards them without fear of the spiraling rocks, a few of which seemed to be clearly and easily deflected... but moreso confusing was why the heck they were even here, or bothering with them. "Wait a minute... they're here for the artifact. We simply beat them to it. They're going to try to take it from us."
'Fine weather indeed." Shinji answered back calmly... "About par for the course here in Iwagakure. Can't say I blame the dojo though, it's just doing it's job. What are you doing here, don't you have relics to obtain? No use wasting your time watching us get hit by rocks."
