((seems to be right....dam you have lots of kunai you keep them in seleevs like gig?))
giglamesh would be deep in though siitting down agit wal as directly around the corner lied tow seemingly expert ranged shinobi, between gig and them was a long hall way where they would be no opening to hide behide no where to hide ad only one way to them as he knew the layout. He though out several dirrefent options, as he think thiem out the look like the little chibi cartoons, he would first imange running head first as fats as he could threw the throwing, only to end up dead half way down the hall. He though of running down the hall trying to avoid the ninja's attacks as he aproached themk but with little room he would also end up dead half way down. He think think for a second and possibly he could try what he did at the stairs use gunpowder to flash and smoke so they could not see, but still he would imange it becomeing fatal half way down the hall way as all they would have to do is randomly throw in threw the smoke to hit hims since the hall way was so small, He was stumped and talking where they could not hear to himself. ".....how the ******** am i suposed to get down the hall way as every option leads me in to direct attacks...thats it....dont even try to avoid them so easy." Giglamesh would do several single hand charka seals in very rapid sucession., it would seem he was going to charge them basicly blindly, what was his idea?
"......Ishi Bushin no jutsu" Suddenly off to his left on same wall of which he was leaning hand would come out of the wall and they would basicly use the wall to pull the rest of self out, as it did giglamesh would remove ten ounces of gunpowder and place it in to the forming stone clone, it looked exactly as giglamesh but as the floor creaked from its weight being made of stone is was obvious giglamesh made a stone clone, he was going to do a direct assult but he wassnt going to do it but rather aclone of himself. "...You know what to do..." The clone would nod as it wassnt able to speak for itself as stone clones lacked the ability to talk threw normaly means. It would step foreward directly in to the hall looking down it at the two shinobi wich waited for him. Surprisingly they woudl throw yet as they most likly though he was simply going to move making them miss and they would lose weapons which would of been a good plan, but with lack of time it wassnt aceptable this was the only option. The clone would basicly seem to take a breath, while it couldnt really it was imatating what giglamehs would of done. then it would lean foreward and begin making its way torwards the two shinobi at a impresive speed.
((-10cp=294 divided between self and clone=147cp each))
Missle brothers- The would both look to the other thinking the man was crazy, but only for a instant before they began to rapidly launch hand fulls after hand fulls of senbon at the man. The clone would continue its rush several of the senbon would hit yet the clone would continue. They would look incredibly shocked as they knew the had to hit vitials, and would reach back to the table and begin launching kunai and shuriken, but even those would not halt the advance of the man, they would basicly begin to get frightend as this was last thing they though would happen. The would have to use there last options both would grab one fuma shuriken each and toss the with incredible power at the quickly aproaching man.
The shurikens would hit and hard, one a tip would peirce directly where the heart would be, the other would basicly split the skull and penatrate the brain. Both would of been fatal individualy but togther it would of been devastating, to a actual person since it is made of stone and chakra damage like that is nothing more than damage. But to play it off it would stop its adavance and take a few steps like it was hurt and stands stil head tilted back far and it would begin to seem like it was falling back till, it would violently whip foreward and begin rushing agin even faster after it pause much closer to ground, so close the fumma shuriken would get knocked out. Durring ti advance it would do several hand chakr seals and as it gets right up on the two it would reach both hand up trying to grab and lift the two by their necks.
((grapple checks 38+5=43 hit.....well hold
33+13=46 hold))
As he held them both up in air while shocking them it wassnt sqeauing tham as hard as it could, as whats was about to happen it didnt matter. It did the several hand chakra seals and in proces reversed its chakra flow and with the mineraly inside it body it quickly basicly seemd to enlarge for pressure insides it body while it held the two rouge shinobi. seversl; crask would begin to emerge on its body and from these cracks would glow red and smoke would begin to come outside it body form the inside. Its single eye, like gig, would glo a sidisoue red and crack heavily around its eye and it would open it mouth a a bright red light would glow from beep down inside as well and light smoke would being to bellow out of it mouth. The brothers would try but there was no time for them to escape.

((damage 33-58 roll of 34+50(10 ounces of gunpowder each ounce adds +5 damage)=84 damage to both=16 hp missle brothers))
The clone would explode extremly violently and with incredible destructive power, With the gunpowder added the devastation was even worse. The blast and shockwave from the blast shot back threw the long hall way blow dust debris and a few loose senbon in to wall. around the door frame where the clone exploded the walls were basicly no longer there even the far wall to the out side of the church literalty exploded outwards with a shockwave powerfull enough to literaly shake the entire church. Giglamesh continued to sit around the corner comeplty safe from the sharpnel and devastation from the blast as he knew it was going to happen. this was his way of telling keiko to move it while hopefully kuze was distracted and hopefully coming after gig now. The two ranged shinboi caught in last were devastaed so bad they unconcious boides laid up agint whats was left of the wall of the exploded room.
Hideo Kuze- A very handsome sexy man sat in the church chapel next to the kidnaped daughter of the two lord which was tied up. The girl looke around the age of twelve or thirteen in a bascily elagant white dress with blue trim and long brown hair. Kuze was a sexy man his long white almsot silver hair hung down forewards draped and dangeling as he stan agint wall leanign foreward useing his naga-nata as a prop as well as having one leg bent up arm braced on it. He wore a Yukigakure headband with his hair draped over it, and the symbol basicly seemed worn as it it was scratched out or tried to rubbed off. He wore basicly a white trench coat with no sleeves and a dark blueish liong seleeved shirt and matching color pants, these were the colors of yukigakure.
As the bulding would shake he would look u and to another man that was in the room and with a incredible clam and rexlaed voice. "Well sinosuke......it would seem we have ........i guess we will call them uninvited guests...."
Unknown- A extremly massive man standing atleast eight foot tall stood in front of Kuze by the oppsite wall. "Me gets to kill now!?" The mans voice was so deep it would feel as if it was vibrating ones ears when he spoke it was like thunder. The man was massive and pure muscle he wore a brown shirt with cut in the sleeves and black pants also pretty worn out with a few holes. the man was muscle all over and had a buzz cut.
Kuze- "Of course we wouldnt want any body to take back our little princess friend now would we?" He would reach over and grab the girls jaw turning her head to look at the basicly giant.
Unknown- He would punch his right hand in to his left pal and the resulting vibration would actual shake the floor. "No take...me send to hell!" He would tun and begin walking out of the chapel and he would literaly grab the frame of the door, to rip it out with incredible ease ripping the wood out and carring it with his as he walked down to greet the unwanted guest giglamesh.
Kuze- Would actuly get a sweat bead as he saw his own rip out the door frame to use as a weapon. "...You know.......to tell the truh i feel bad for the person which has to deal with him..." while kuze was a strong man it would seem the giant juggernaught of man may of been able to take him if it wassnt for the giants low intenegence. "Keeps the strong close to you and in turn make your self stronger.......i coudlnt beat him yet i have him completly at my will cause i can out smart him.....incredible issnt it?" He was talking to the kidnaped daughter of the lord.

((Yesh, it's something easy... ))
As Keiko was waiting for Gig, she was surrounded by three men, all of them looked strong, however she knew that she could take them. One of them grabbed her and put his arms around her, "Hello pretty, what are you---" As he was speaking Keiko bit him and then, as he was a bit taller than her, she rammed her elbow into the place where the sun don't shine. He cried out in pain and Keiko quickly got out of his grip and flipped over his head and then landed on the back side of him. While she was in the air, flipping over him, she was able to create a clone and she was able to quietly slip into the roof. All three men looked at her, and blinked. Keiko's clone ran her fingers through her hair, "Did your mother ever teach you not to put your hands on a lady?" The clone smiled, "However, from what you just showed me, I guess not." All of them looked at each other and then went after the clone, as the clone was close to dying, she quickly made another one and replaced it. Keiko then made sure that the attention was towards the clone and she quickly came up from the roof and worked on the two who really didn't say or do anything. She threw two kunai at them each, knowing that she would quickly take them down.
(( 14+3=17 1=15 11=25 9=23 All hit Damage: 1+dex mod ( 8 ) = 6x4=24/2=12 each

Keiko's cp: 212-6=206-8=19 cool )
The men were surprised that she wasn't the clone, so they left the clone and went after her, as they were coming after her, she quickly was able to which places with the clone. She picked up kunai that were laying on the ground, she was using way to much energy and she knew that she need to conserve some of it for the big battle. As their backs where still turned to her she shot off three kunai at each of them. As she was doing that she felt the building shake, fun was over and it was time to move, and fast.
(( 14+13= 27 18=32 12= 26 2=16 18=32 15=26 5=19 17=31 12=26
3+dex mod ( 8 ) = 11x3=33
Rouge shinobi henchman #1 HP: 10 Rouge shinobi henchman #2 HP: 10 Rouge shinobi henchman#3 HP: 55-33=22))
As the other two men fell too the ground not really being able to move, Keiko moved her attention to the last man standing. She was going to have some fun with this one. As he ran quickly towards her she disappeared into the roof, the clone took her place, there was a slight delay in the switching with the real Keiko and the clone it was clear to anyone. The clone tried to get his attention but he was alert for anything. Keiko moved to his backside and quickly got out of the roof and smiled, as the power in her hands. The water free flowed from her hands and then with a blink of an eye the water was traveling quickly over to the man that was standing. In less than a second the man was through the wall of the church. As the the dust cleared, she looked in to see the man that she had saw in the picture. The man looked at her with a cold glare.
((Rouge shinobi henchman#3 HP: 22-56=DEAD Too dang lazy to try to figure it out.

Keiko's mouth dropped at the sight of him, she knew it was too late to get out of sight. Her eyes scanned the room for the girl, but at the same time making sure that he wasn't going to pull anything funny. Her attention was quickly to the girl that was tied up, something was fishy. No kidnapper would have the kid out in the open, something wasn't right. However, she could find nothing for a trap, was this guy as stupid as he looked? Hideo Kuze did nothing, and Keiko grew tired of waiting for him to make a move. She walked through the mess with her high heals clicking along with every step. His face quickly became lightened as she walked through the massive hole into the church. She now knew what Gig meant about her getting herself in trouble with this guy. She had to admit, he was pretty hot and it seemed that he could talk his way into anything...even if he did seem stupid. Keiko kept her attention on the girl, but her eyes where fixed on Hideo Kuze, she stopped about ten feet away from him. He smiled and show interested in Keiko right away, now if Keiko could keep this up and produce a few clones everything would be easy. But, Hideo Kuze had other plans for her, it became cold in the room and she looked down at her water supply. Keiko sighed, "********." Hideo Kuze laughed, "Ah, now no need to swear in front of a little girl. I thought that it might be a bit more fun if you didn't use your water skills." Keiko gave him a blank stare and then frowned, "Well, I thought that you would have liked your life flash before your eyes quickly and without much pain." She smiled, "However, you have chose the hard way." Keiko took out three kunai and played with them. He smiled, "Well, I'm always hard for girls like you."

((i was going to npc kuze........just distracted with diamon and ds crying ))
Giglamesh would peek around the corner and seeming a hole in the oppsite wall he knew the two were down for the count. He would stand and begin to make his way in to the exploded room and he would see the severely ravaged bodies fot the two, while they were breathing it was so light it was obvious there were onconcious and nearly dead. Giglamehs didnt have time to finish them however, nor did he want to. Giglamesh would then head down in to the next room it was dark and there wassnt anything in there it would seem execpt for clutered crap, it must of been where the group had put all the thing from inside the church. He would then make his ways threw them and to the left door and that door lead to a room which lead to the stairs. Giglamesh would get a rather uneasy feeling about this room though and he would unseahts both his katana's and slowly walk in to room, this room was very dark and the first thing to notice as it stuck out was the floor that bowed from being wet, as he had noticed previsouly when he was down stair, but reguardlesly he walked in carefully knowing he would have to stick to the out side of the room to not fall threw.
Unknown- With out warning the giant man would swing his four by four club downards to knock the blades out of his hand and with incredible speed and power as he would know disarm the man he would pick him up by his vest and try and slam him threw the floor with great power.
Giglamesh didnt expect a attack like that all and the attacker struck across his hand, causien giglamehs to drop both his katana's, he would try to quickly pick them up even before they hit the ground but he was grabed and picked up byt the attacker quite rapidly but right as he was going to be slammed on the weak floor, but he would use his own height to turn him self in air to sprialand pull around to slam the attacker threw the floor as well as himself. The would both literaly break threw the floor and fall around thirty feet to the main church room below them, back in the room he had started in, from the dust being stired and pain from falling that distance he would writhe around in pain slightly after he cushioned himself to hit the ground it resulted in poping his shoulder out socket. He would unfortualy have to jerk it down putting it back in place as it belong the pain nearly made him scream but he held in it. and would reayd as he would now have to fight the unknow attacker with his bare hands.
Unknown- The giant attacker didnt expect to be throw thre the floor as well, but he was and all the broken floor debris laned atop him, and despite such a massive fall the basicly pile of rubbage would shake before basicly exploding from the giant using his massive power to throw the debris off and away from him. The man stood atleast eight foot tall and had arms and muscles the size of most people bodies, this man was a massive walking juggernaught. He would tilt his head from side to side popoing his neack quite imtadingly. "I seend you to hell now!" The giant man would take a fighting stance.
Giglamesh would be surprised as hell as he saw this man, as he was used to being much larger than nearly everbody he knew and saw around his home land, as well as Iwagakure. But this man was huge and basicly made giglamesh look small this was somthing he wassnt used to as he had never seen someone larger than himself let alon so lagre they made gig look small. But the instant of being surprised fell quickly as he knew he would have to fight this man before he could advance and help the girl and possibly keiko. "Stand aside i dont want to hurt yo......" Giglamesh would have to quickly dodge the large mans massive fist as he swung while gig was talking and with a glare. "...And i dont want you to hurt me either.....but i have no choice what must be done must be done" Giglamesh would also ready a offensive stance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hideo kuze- Sigh Kuze would slowly stand thw room would grow colder and colder. "How unfortuante.your pretty cute but i cant have anybody messin wit my plans ya know." He would use his naga-nata as a cane putting the pomel of it asingt the ground as he walked at her. But suddenly he would appear behinde her back to back with her as he would breaht and speak steam would come out from his mouth and the room temp continued to lower and the tempature drop was directed actuly from him. "Lets play shall we?"

Kuterra- The massive man would take a offensive stance and quickly goin at giglamesh with incredible power he would strat throwing combo nations at giglamesh, right jab followed by a left hook, the followed by a right hook and finished with a left upper cut. The attack came with decent speed but much more power that giglamesh has even seen.
((1st 44+20=hit 2nd 39+18=hit 3rd 34+13=hit 4rt 29+14=hit))
Kuze- Would give a cold grin to the sexy woman, he was going to have with this one and maybey have some fun himself. He would walk in and it was like as he walked across the roof to as if ice was spreading under his feet from the cold he was generating, it was hot on the roof but the closer hideo got to keiko the more she would feel the chill he was putting off. Hideo would get close enough and would squat down twisting his nagi-nata and would violenlty lash it upward trying to cut acros the center of her chest, as well as trying to her her top off at same time. directly following the attack he would stand from his squating slash and get real close to keiko's face peering direclt in to her eyes with his own sexy eye wich looked as ice.

((-94=362hp))
Giglamesh would even expect the barrage in the slightest, especial the first blow when it hit it actuly took giglamesh off balance almost falling from the first blow. The second blow came so quickly and with such power he caught it directly in the right side of face under eye centered in cheek this one knocked him back to balance but with the power he was packing it nearly knocked him out. The right he some how mamanged to pull up a guard of his left arm, but with such power behide it it still knocked threw his guard knocking his arm into his won head which made him stumble to the right slightly. As he tried to regain his composure he looked down to the ground only to see anoter blow aproaching knkcoing him off his fet and atleast three feet in the air off the ground and back a good distance to hit the ground and roll a few time. the mans power was truly incredible nothing of which he had even seen, this raw power was what he would expect from his own master let alone some dirty rouge nin.
Giglamesh literaly coughed and hack a few time those few blows alreayd had his vision blurry with such little effot, if this giant was to come at with full force giglamesh may not be able to survive if he had his blades it would be different but it was like the man was prepared and un armed giglamesh befroe encounering him wich was realy bad for gig. But gig determination kicked he in some how he knew keiko was alreayd enguaded with kuze so he would have to hurry and wrap it with this guy but how. Giglamesh would shake off the pain and fianly stand all the way back up and after a few stumbles giglamesh would rush it and deal some of his own pain Giglamesh would literaly jump on to one of the wood benches only to jump off diving a kick at the giant head with his left leg back, the directly following the right kick he would kick left also. He would use gravity to reach the ground and with a hand stand he would then bend down and with arms and legs bent to built up force he would use all his power to trust arms and legs at the mans chin, then he would he the motion from the kick to get behide him trying to cling to the giants back trying to chokce he out if he could take hold.

((-86/2=857))
Kuterra- didnt try to evade the attacks in the slightest or even try to defend them he would take all them to the face and with little to no movment from the blows. The most giglamesh made him move was a single step backwards from he turst attack from the ground, and kuterra would look around to see where the man was not even realising his was on hi back literaly trying to choke him in a rear naked choke the ginat shruged off this choke as if giglamesh was a child trying to playfully hurt him. But kuterra wassent the type to play he would reach back trying to grab the mans legs, He he grabbed hold he would rip the man off him and literaly throw him like a rag doll threw several rows of benches.
((grapple and throw check 14+15=hit))
((-15=347hp gig)) Giglamesh would get throw bacily he didnt even realise what had happedn untill he was fling threw the air and literaly smashed threw several benches smashing threw them basicly making them explode with his back like thew were made of paper. Giglamesh woukld bascily be leaking in a pile of broken benches and he would be in some pain but wold manage. ".....Alright.......now play times over!" giglamesh was completly bluffing as the man had literaly throw him for a loop and agint this giant he was out of ideas he shruged off giglamesh physcial attack as they were nothing most likly he would do same to his jutsu, plus giglamehs needed to conserve his chakra that was left as he was most lily going to have to face kuze wich in his profile it stated his was a ice jutsu user, and giglamehs was most likly going to need all the chakra he could. Then how would giglamesh take this man down with his blades he would cut threw his muscles making them useless, but being disarmed but at him horrible disadvantage as this man seem to excel at hand to hand combat. "...how?"

((Please disregard this one post. Poor format. Still learning training system. Revised attempts begin at next post.))
The Kara Badlands...
How strange that there was nothing for miles around, maybe that was the appeal. Kaiho wasn't looking forward to the desert when she woke up that morning, but despite the heat she realized exactly why her mother had suggested coming out here. The Badlands had something that the village had very little of. Complete and total silence. And after the bustle about the village is it was wonderful. She'd been sure to dress accordingly for the conditions she's be facing.
A pair of khaki shorts with standard issue academy sandals, a white t-shirt with a pale tan wide-brimmed hat. Her mother had insisted on the hat and even tossed her a bottle of sunscreen.
"Even ninja burn, dear!" she'd chirped.
Kai smiled as she took off her backpack and unfurled her blanket, usually reserved for family picnics and outings. Her mother had taken the liberty of embroidering waves and sea foam on the surface. She plopped down and pulled out her large thermos of ice-water and poured a first cup. Setting those things aside, she dragged her backpack closer and began rifling through it. Soon she had a notebook, pencil and three large books laid out in front of her.
Body Language: Interpreting and Self Awareness Etiquette: The Art of Lying Public Speaking Made Easy
She decided to start with the subject that interested her least. This way as soon as she got bored she could move on to something more interesting and last longer at her studies. She started with the book on public speaking.
Within the first five minutes, she realized why her mother had laughed and said that she was in for some intense training today. After all, how hard was reading? It wasn't exactly easy with the desert sun beaming down on you while you tried to read in the light reflected off the pages back at you. At least the silence helped her to concentrate. But not by much.
Kai was able to devote a full twenty more minutes to the book before finally she'd gotten a bit fed up with the subject. Though now she knew the importance of eye contact and how posture can be interpreted by others. So it only made sense to drink two cups of water and move on to Body Language: Interpreting and Self Awareness. Kai found subjects like this fascinating and loved taking what she knew out to test her knowledge and learn even more about the people around her.
She was surprised to learn how much of herself she'd been giving away with her own body language.
"So crossed arms mean...trepidation and defense. And hands in the pocket suggest nervousness... But thumbs tucked into pockets with fingers out mean...! Oh my..." she muttered to herself and coloring slightly as she finished over half the book.
Now the water was running low and, she was really starting to sweat badly. The heat was finally getting to her so much that it was difficult to even pretend that it wasn't. It was like breathing in an oven. And she definitely didn't like that.
She looked at her watch to check the time...three hours! And she still had to practice flower arranging with her mother and write a report on what she'd learned that day to her brother.
It was very disappointing to not even get to the last book, but she had things to take care of. Besides, that was harsh...
She repacked everything carefully to make certain that she didn't pick up some multi-legged friend to take home. She then rolled up her blanket downed the last of her water and headed back towards the village feeling a bit drained and tired. ((Leaving desert))

((Sorry, wasn't familiar with the training format. Second attempt.)) [[Intelligence Training: Reading (Koi wants to improve her intelligence by reading a book.) DC: 15 Success: 0/10 Int Mod: 4]]
"Body Language: Interpreting and Self Awareness? Koichi, what the heck is this?" Kai asked as her brother moved to a sofa and sat down.
"Well mom said that you're trying to study more and asked me to give you a few books from my collection to help out. Just get some water and head to the Kara Badlands and get to reading. That shouldn't be too hard for you considering how much you like to read," he chuckled as he pulled out a very thick tomb and began some reading of his own.
"Why the Badlands?" she asked.
"Good for concentration. You pull that off in this heat and there's a good chance you'll be able to focus in...'strange' situations. You should always keep your eyes open for new ways to train. It's good for you. And entertaining for the rest of us," he explained waving her towards the door.
Well, here she was. It had been a nice walk here from the village and she was invigorated. Despite the backpack holding the book, a picnic blanket embroidered with green fish and her huge thermos of ice water, it wasnt' very heavy. There was a nice breeze blowing and though she could hear the sounds of intense training off in the distance, it would be nothing do disturb her. She didn't dare stray too far from the village just yet. It was supposed to get pretty hot that day and she didn't want end up stuck out there with only her brother knowing where she was. Of course he'd come for her if she stayed out too long. There was only the factor of what he considered to be too long. She wasn't ready to risk something like that just yet.
She decided to sit down beneath the natural awning made by an outcropping from a nearby rock formation. Checking the area thoroughly for scorpions, she pulled out the blanket and plopped down on it, pulling out the book.

[[(Result of) Attempt: 1 Roll: 19 + Int Mod: 4 = 23. Success 1/10]]
The introduction was a breeze and she realized that most all body language was an unconscious action. Though some were environment induced and some were learned, most were completely unknown to the person using them. This included defense mechanisms, actions used to threaten or display a wide range of emotions and reactions to generally social situations.
That was interesting. Did that mean that even she did something with her arms, fingers, legs or even her face that she was unaware of. Her father had mentioned that sometimes she chewed on her hair when it was left loose about her face. Maybe...
She turned on to the first chapter which went into more detail about the causes of body language.
((Sorry, changed wording of top line to keep track of what try I'm on.))

Well that was a bit confusing, but she did get the meaning. She learned that people could display a variety of things with different actions. You could tell if a person was nervous, scared, happy, excited, or even lying based on their body language. Maybe that was why Koichi never tried lying to their parents anymore? Were her mother and father familiar with this intriguing manner of reading people? It would explain why there were times she thought they were reading her mind. Even though, they were her parents...
Next chapter was knowing the signs of bad nerves and fear.

This section was a bit more challenging than the last. Maybe she was misunderstanding the content. Flipping back to the start of the chapter, she reached for her water. It had gotten a bit hotter since she'd been there and she was feeling thirsty.
"Okay, Kai...pay attention here," she told herself sternly.

That made a bit more sense, but not really. It was clear that she wasn't getting it. She was getting frustrated, but refused to throw the book to the side like she wanted. She laid the book on the blanket and laid out in front of it, going over every word carefully. She was going to get this.
