Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yukio walked out onto the training grounds, looking around he smiled. " This place is pretty awesome! " He said, sighing in relief. He had just recently woken up and went to find someone to train him. He thought that this would be the place to go, and it was. People were clumped together into several groups, all chatting and joking around as they trained. Yukio realised that the ninja world wasn't so strict as it was about social skills. The people were still getting trained to be killing machines, but they were also carrying on conversation beyond what one would do in battle. Yukio thought it was a bi odd, but it promoted unity in the squads he guessed. Yukio noticed Death Spank another genin, or atleast he thought he was a genin, and a much more powerful looking person the guy that everyone seemed to know a lot. " Huh, I wonder what he is doing here? " Yukio muttered to himself walking toward that group.

" Hi there, I'm Yukio. " Yukio said as he entered the group, trying not to interupt. He hadn't heard anyone speaking as he entered he group of three. " I know you, and you are the one who walked into the grill. " Yukio said pointing at Death Spank, and dimissing him completely, and outstretching a hand to Gage. " I already said it, But I'm Yukio. Yukio Yuuto. " Yukio said smiling at Gage, his iron sand moving around his legs.

Deidalus thanked the young shinobi for his effort. When Death Spank arrived in a blur of bacon-scented air, Deidalus knew full well where he had just been. "It's a good thing you have arrived. Save me one of those for later, this announcement can't wait." Spotting a new shinobi that he had yet to meet before approach, he glanced in his direction and let out a quick "Good timing." before beginning his announcement.

"Shinobi and Kunoichi of Iwa, It has been brought to my attention, that after these recent events, our beloved Tsuchikage has decided to go on a Training journey. She has instructed me to take action as the acting Tsuchikage. It is unfortunate that we will be without her for some time, but I assure you that we will stay as solid as the mountain that protects our village. It is to my understanding that the chunin exams are on the Horizon. As such, We will be stepping up the training twofold. Missions will be available upon request to those whose instructors feel ready for them. I have some research that I must attend to, that regards the recent actions of two Nuke-nin who attacked Iwagakure no sato, so If I am not here at the training grounds, I will more than likely be at the Library."

"Now, I am sure most of you were wondering as to why those two attacked Iwagakure. The reason is simple: I killed their Sensei. Suffice to say, the complete story is not necessary, but I will give you the relevant information. Their Sensei, was my own sensei, and he offered to undergo the testing of a new and Forbidden jutsu. However this jutsu corrupted him and destroyed the man he once was. He escaped the village and, when I had returned from a Long-term mission, I was tasked with tracking him down with Kill or capture orders. It appears that he had already taught two other students the same jutsu and due to faulty information, I was unaware of this." Here Deidalus paused to let the information sink in, before finishing his speech. "That is all I have for you at this moment, I suggest those who will be attending the Chunin exams train and consider missions. Those who are newly made genin, I suggest that you continue to train."

Paying close attention as the training began, Riko listened attentively to what Shinji was saying and made sure to take careful note about how the 'Doroku Gaeshi' technique grows with them. Easily memorizing the individual handseals Shinji showed her, Riko replayed them quickly one more through her mind before returning her attention once more to Shinji as he performed the technique. Riko watched in amazement as Shinji cut a 15 fool tall and 9 inch thick slab of earth from the ground and create a gigantic rock shield between him and his students. Head snapping upward as his voice called down to them, Riko smiled in excitement as she moved back a few steps to make room for her technique.

Starting with the handseals, Riko played them once more through her mind before performing them once without chakra. Sure that she had the correct handseals down, Riko released a deep breath before allowing her raging chakra to flow some what more freely around her body. Doing her best to keep in control, Riko easily breezed through the handseals before slamming her hands down on the ground. "Doton: Doroku Gaeshi." Inserting her chakra into the earth, Riko found that her chakra began to weaken if she tried to make a shield anything bigger than 10 feet and 6 inches. 'Guess that's what Shinji-san ment by this technique growing with you. From what I'm experiencing, I most likely won't be able to make anything bigger than 10 feet and 6 inches till Chuunin. Still a decent size though.' Having settled on carving out a shield 10 feet tall and 6 inches wide, Riko then softened the earth around her hands slightly so she could reach in and pull out her shield. Pushing upward with her legs as to not hurt her back, Riko used her chakra as an aid when pulling out the large slab of earth. Once she pulled it out of the earth, Riko was surprised at how easy it was to pull it out without much of a hussle. 'Shinobi techniques never seize to amaze me...' Doton: Doroku Gaeshi [1/1]

Pushing that thought aside, Riko wondered just how she would get to the top and eying her shield, she suddenly recalled her nautral ability to jump higher than most. Squating down a bit, Riko took a moment to take in a deep breath before pushing upward with great strength. Reaching the top in a matter of seconds, Riko ended up 3 meters above her shield and readjusted herself mid-air to land properly on top of her shield. Landing on her feet and then casually slippinng into a sitting position, Riko sat with her feet dangling from the side while she gave Shinji the 'thumbs up' sign in success. "How this Shinji-san?"

"Never wish upon others what you wouldn't wish upon yourself."

Deidalus reached out and stole the bag of bacon cheeseburgers as Death spank brought up a mission request. "Bandits? On our borders? I recommend taking some of our more experienced Genin with you. I think Kaze, Riko, and Emily will do fine, if Shinji can spare his team for such a mission." Eating one of the Bacon cheeseburgers, Deidalus turned from Death Spank to focus on Kiyoko's little cousin who had just finished the technique.

"hm, now that you have completed the mizu bunshin technique, I would like you to try a harder jutsu. This next jutsu is Suiton: Mizu Tate no jutsu. using it you can create a temporary shield of water that can protect against some attacks." Running through a few hand seals, Deidalus fed chakra in to the water and called up a thin wall of water that surrounded him in a cylindrical fashion. Cutting the jutsu, Deidalus explained a few things about the technique. "This jutsu protects all sides but it fails to protect attacks from below or above. So remember that it can be death trap if you are caught unawares." Leaving Gabriel to the task at hand, Deidalus returned his attention to Gage. "I'll teach you a technique if you would like. However you may not be quite so happy to learn it, once you hear what it entails."

Yukio looked at Deidalus, tilting his head to the side. " Hi there, I'm Yukio. " He said, holding his hand out for Deidalus to shake. He had a puzzled look on his face. He was wondering why exactly he was left in charge of the village when it hit him who this person was. he was dieda-somthing, the village sannin. he had just come back, but Yukio hadn't seen much of him. " Yukio Yuuto, Pleasure to meet you. " Yukio said, sending his sand below ground, since he felt that there should be some iron somewhere down there, if not, then he would accidentally turn the training grounds into a sink hole. " I was wondering, where are some records of a technique that uses Iron sand? " Yukio asked after Deidalus gave him his name. Yukio hadn't seen anyone else outside of Iwagakure, nor inside that could use this same technique. so he was wondering just exactly how he was supposed to learn how to manipulate it to the extent he knew he could.

Gabriel growled a bit when he learned he would not be able to go on the mission. But he pushed the thoughts aside and focused on his next jutsu. He watched Deidalus's hands exactly and performed the handseals he said," Suiton: Mizu Tate no jutsu." The water rose up around him before falling outward only to rise up once again. Deidalus was right this jutsu had its uses but if used at the wrong time could kill him just as much as protect him. He let the water fall back down and released the jutsu and gazed at Deidalus and said," Another one down. "
