Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Oh, we all know that it's going to happen again. But in Tanzu's big-headed mind, he thinks he's got the Hachibi under his thumb... Stories and I both know that something will happen again)

Having completed the previous technique satisfactorily, David read through the scroll once more. Rather than focusing on a jutsu to fit his needs, he was just looking for interesting ideas. As he had thought earlier, these were mostly altered versions of things he could do himself anyways. But there were a few saving traits there, jutsu that truly stood out. One in particular caught his eye though. Suna Shunshin. A jutsu that could pretty much teleport him to where he wanted to go? That was pretty dang cool. When you combined that with the fact that he was sitting next to an expanse he didn't feel like walking, well, it was more than convenient.

Deciding that he wanted this jutsu added to his arsenal, David read through the instructions again, much more closely. The system seemed pretty simple, though it was a bit vague on just how it actually moved you. First of all, he had to find the location he wanted to go, and feel it with his chakra. That was actually rather simple, thanks to the fact that he had sat in one place over there for several hours. The forgotten sand clone helped too. All in all, the spot he wanted to reach was practically a beacon once he focused on finding it in the way this jutsu asked for. [1/4]

And then came the actual moving part of the jutsu. David quickly rolled up the scroll and put it away, not wanting to lose it if he messed up. Focusing on the location, he formed a 'link' of sorts between himself and the target. And then he was gone. A swirl of sand burst out of the ground, wrapping around him and flying away through the sky, leaving nothing to show he had ever been there. [2/4]

In the moment when he was gone, things seemed to rush past his senses, and he couldn't tell where he was or what was happening. All he knew was that he was being pulled along by his own chakra, on a course to his desired location. The sand of the desert flew by as a total blur, until finally he saw the end of his tunnel. His destination was just ahead. [3/4]

Seconds after David vanished, he reappeared. Standing in the exact spot where he had sat and meditated by the water, a swirl of sand announcing his arrival to all who cared to look. As if a human appearing out of nowhere wasn't enough to let you know something changed. As the sand settled to the ground around him, David nodded. That was indeed a useful technique. Though the traveling portion would take a bit to get used to. [4/4]

Scanning the area he had arrived in quickly, he spotted his clone, and two others from his village. And they seemed to be having a moment. How annoying. "How long have they been doing that?" He asked his clone quietly, to which the animated lump of sand simply rolled it's eyes. So that was how it was. Maybe he should leave again after all...

Kira slowly made his way back to the Oasis. He hoped he passed the first stage, as it would be a real confidence booster. He was actually getting pretty worried if he failed it or not. Kira calmed his chakra. He began to quickly run across the sand, using his speed ninja abilites to get him across fast enough. Kira ignored everybody else in the dwelling as he went ot his hammock and began to rest.

Sora just lightly nodded her head, not knowing what else to do. She had those confusing moments where she'd done something so spectacular, yet she couldn't remember how she did it. Like the time that she learned how to call chakra into her feet when she was four. Her father hadn't been impressed, though, because she could never do it again. Could she still do it now? Most likely, but she was really going to have to work at it.

"Well, it's nice to know that you're okay." She said with a slight smile.

"Ugh." David groaned, sitting down next to his clone. "Do they even know what they look like right now?" He muttered to his clone before closing his eyes and beginning to meditate. The clone for it's part looked slightly amused at it's masters antics, though it would have to agree. Those two were looking pretty silly right now. As David slipped into his meditative trance, the clone returned to what it had been doing before he arrived. Sitting there doing nothing. It was amazing how patient a clone could be.

Once more, David appeared in the Ichibi's containment chamber. The room was large, and actually rather pleasant if you ignored the gruesome doodles the beast had made all over the walls. Unlike most prisons, there were no bars here. If the demon attacked, it would be up to David to defend himself, the seals having worn off long ago. It was truly odd, that the 'weakest' of the bijuu was the most capable of breaking out of it's seals. David walked straight up to the beast, and sat down at a small table in the center of the room. "Will you win today then?" He questioned the beast, smirking at it slightly as he set up the chess board. This had long since been how he passed the time while meditating. He couldn't truly let his mind rest, like meditation was meant to do. If he did that, the demon would be free. No, when his body slept, his mind was here with the Ichibi. That way he could keep it from pulling anything, and still get the rest he needed.

(( Yep. If David saw that, I really don't know what he would do. There would be stages though. First would be simple annoyance that people would act like that, followed by the fact that Kanzuki is a foreign shinobi, and currently an enemy due to the exams. And then he would probably pick up on the fact she's feeding him info on the suna genin and kill her. ))

'Huh?...' Tanzu thought, then narrowed his eyes at his comrade...he turned immediatly, walking straight out of the tent without a second thought. He needed to focus. Sora was right about that. And especially not on a**es...he picked up the scroll again, examining the jutsus...

The results couldn't have been more bitter for Tanzu. All of his teammates. Except. HIM.
Failure. Disgrace, shame, fool, moron, Baka, MONSTER!!!!
Turns out there was still hate in his heart...he felt like imploding, sending all of creation with him. He stood, taking the scroll with him. Just genin wind jutsu and gen..."Might as well leave..." he muttered, practically not noticing Sora...
