Welcome to Gaia! ::

Choji had once again risen from his seat on the grass, but not to congratulate or push the fighters on. He slapped his hands together and rang through the same signs Panda had done as he pulled his hands apart.
"Bubun Baika no Jutsu!" He yelled as his hands stretched out and grew exponentially, aiming for the two girls that were running towards each other.
Choji's hands found their mark as the gargantuan hands grabbed both girls and pulled them closer to Choji. Kima was squirming rigiously as Panda mearly glared at her. Choji spoke to both of them as they came into arms length.

(Nikudan Hari Sensha-1/12)

"This fight is over....do you understand?" Choji said as the two girls took their gaze off each other and looked at their elder. Both shook their heads in agreement as Choji set them on the ground and shrunk his hands back to normal. Kima glared at the pair and simple turned heel, walking away in a huff as Panda stared at her easily angered cousin. She realized that if Kima had assumed that her trying to lose weight was a disgrace to their family, she could only imagine what went through her fathers mind as he looked at her. Choji smiled happily as he pulled his daughter in and began to walk her down the hallway, claiming he was the happiest dad alive.

As the pair walked through the hallway, Panda held her head a little low as her father noticed.
"Why are you sad Panda?" He asked as used the hand he had around her to pat her on the shoulder to bring her back to the realm of the hearing. Panda looked at her dad as spoke softely.
"You know why I want to be a medical ninja right?" She asked as Choji stopped, slightly perplexed. He shook his head in a no answer as Panda turned her own head to avert his gaze. "Well...I love my family....but I don't like me....I mean I'm too chubby for my own age....this isn't normal."

(3/12)

Choji made a dissmissive PPPFFFFTTT noise as he looked down at her. "There's no such thing as normal Panda. Jeez, what women will go through to be 'normal'. But would that explain why you are always concocting those crazy meals and having me almost die from eating them?" He said with a smile as Panda took it more seriously and nodded. Choji laughed as he pulled her in for a hug, "I'll admit that some of those things were good....but why add string beans to chocolate cake?"
"Some things....even I never figured out why I did it." Pand said, perking up some slightly.

(4/12)

Choji laughed a little harder as the two started their way down the hallway again. They entered a stairway as they started going up a flight of them on their way to their apartment. Panda had picked up significantly since then, and the pair were joking about Kima and Panda explained her trials at the exam sight.
"Jeez! When I was a kid we had it harder then! Unlike the Chuunin exams now though...last I heard from the sight that someone demolished the building and killed several of the contestants." Choji said as he unlocked the door to their home.

(5/12)

"What do you mean?!" Panda asked, shocked that someone would do something like that. She entered first as Choji came in behind and closed and locked the door.
"Back in my day, the exams were a test of skill...like they are now. But unlike this current exam, ours were never a fight to the death. Apparently there are severl contestants left when the last curriur came to deliver the news. One Hyuuga from our village, one from Nano, a ninja with a shifting body from some village. A mist ninja...which makes sense....and...get this....a blind ninja from Hidden Moon. It's just like one of those old movies of Zatoichi!"

(6/12)

Choji started making samurai movments that made Panda laugh as she wondered aloud about the exams. "I wonder why they would force people to do something like that?" She said aloud as Choji shrugged and went to the cupboard. He pulled out some bread and went to the fridge to get some meats and cheeses as he spoke, "Who knows... I heard that the new exam proctor is from one of the more obscure villages that mixed ninjutsu with another countries style. Sounds lame if you ask me, but hes found a way to get them to fight to the 'death' and come back without a scratch..That's one powerful Genjutsu...."

(7/12)

Choji started making some sandwhiches as Panda made her way to the couch and turned on some tv. It was a tiny thing that was rarely used because her father was on so many missions, but it was better than nothing as she wiped the caked layers of dust off of it. She channel surfed until she found a drama with 'kids her own age' and found it intersting, so she walked over to the couch and sat down. Her father came a short time later with a plate full of sandwhiches. Most people would find the fact that someone would use a whole loaf of bread for sandwhiches unsettling. But for most Akimichi this was fairly normal.

(8/12)

Akimichi clan members expend an incedible amount of calories in battle and have so much of it that its incredibly easy for them to convert stamina to chakra. Much easier to do so than other ninja, which makes their stamina in battle formidable. So after battles they eat a large amount, mainly high in calories to keep their bodies going like runners do. The difference stops there as Akimichi members bodys store the intake as fat...just like reserves of weapons like other ninja do. Panda sat up from couch and stared at the sandwhiches like she stared at Kima earlier.

(9/12)

"Your worse than any insult that Kima or anyone else could tell me..." Panda said as she took a sandwhich from the platter and started to eat. Ham and Cheese sandwhich, it was a classic. Panda took a bite as she realized that she couldnt really give out to her hunger. Everytime she refused to eat, her stomach hurt uncontrollably. Maybe it was something all Akimichi went through....but she had no idea. She hated herself for that but tried her best to ignore it as she took another bite. As the tv show played out on screen, Panda's mind wandered from that and unto the Chuunin exams.

(10/12)

She didn't detest violence, but Panda just never saw the point in it. She became a ninja by accident you could say. She wanted to heal people and realized the ranks of the medical ninjas were the only place she could get any training that could help her out. She remembered reading vague descirptions of forbidden Jutsu about life ressurection and thought...what if they did it wrong? What if you could bring a person back to the dead? She quickly put it out of her mind only to come back again when she remembered what her dad said about the contestants in the exams. "Maybe the exams procter isnt useing Genjutsu...what if they found a way to cheat death?! Then weight loss isnt far behind!" She said aloud.

(12/12)

"No one can cheat death baby." Choji said as he reentered the room with a chain in his hand. The combination of his words and chain weirded Panda out as Choji sat next to her on the couch. He lunged for a sandwhich which gave Panda a mental sigh, she obviously knew her father wouldnt hurt her but she looked at the chain with some discomfort. It was as long as her other two chains but it was covered in Kunai, metsubishi, caltrops, shuriken, and other odd assortments of sharp objects. It quite frankly scared her alot more that fighting Kima did as Choji took notice. He raised it up with his free and and spoke during giant mouthfuls. "You like? It's yours!"

Kurenai sneered. "Throw a kunai at me." she ordered. Kinomi didn't fully understand but he did it anyway. Kurenai used the same jutsu as last time and dissappeared. Something odd happened, though. The petals began moving towards a tree. They stuck to the tree and slowly began dissolving the particles. A few seconds later there was only half a tree instead of the entire trunk. "Woa....." Kinomi mumbled. Kurenai appeared behind Kinomi. "Imagine that...On human flesh." she said with a sneer. Kinomi blinked and kept staring at the tree. He couldn't beleave it. Half was actually gone. That'd be anamazing jutsu to learn.

[Flower Petal Dissolve 1/6]

"Ok....Want to try?" Kurenai asked picking up Kinomi's kunai. Kinomi cracked his fingers and prepared for her to throw it. "Yeah!" Kinomi said with a sneer. He jumped up into the tree and left Kurenai confused. "I thought we were doing it like last time. to be more real." Kinomi said from up in the trees. Kurenai shook her head and smiled. He jumped up into the tree and began chasing Kinomi. Jumping from treetop to treetop. Haze decided not to run and was simly sitting on the ground. Barking. Kinomi used the Body Flicker Jutsu and re-appeared behind Kurenai. He began running the opposite way. "HAHA!" he shouted in his usual cocky way.

Jiraiya stood up, straightening his jacket a little as he shook his head. He had to admit, this kid was determined, not many would go as far as he had. It hadn't seemed to faze him, he already seemed to be a fine pervert of his own. Thinking for a moment, he came up with Shouta's second exercise to become a true pervert.
As Jiraiya was planning out Shouta's second task, Shouta stood up and released the Oiroke no Jutsu, returning to his normal form. He was breathing pretty hard, that had taken a lot out of him. Usually he left things like that to Lolita, but all those jutsu were certainly draining. He wanted to be ready for Ero-Sannin's next task right away, but his body had another idea, sleep. Sliding back to the ground, he passed out, exhausted from all that had gone on.
"Okay, your next test will be to... Aw geez, you fell asleep?! Kids today, they have no endurance!"
Jiraiya sighed, and checked back at the river, but the girls had long since left, and no more had come to take their place. He looked down at the peacefully dozing Shouta, wondering how this would all turn out. It was hard to say, except for one thing. It certainly wouldn't be boring! Sighing again, he settled in to wait, leaning back against a nearby tree. Surely the brat wouldn't be asleep that long, kids had all kinds of energy, no matter how worn out they got.
As he waited, they day marched on, and soon met it's lover, the night, in a long, slow embrace that caused the daylight to decrease little by little until it was beginning to get dark. Shouta still slept, and Jiraiya had had enough of waiting. Going for the direct approach, he booted Shouta forcefully, rolling the child over.
Shouta'd been woke up roughly before, so this was nothing. He woke up the instant he felt the foot hit him, and got to his feet, going from totally asleep to totally alert in that short a space of time. This didn't seem to impress Jiraiya that much, lots of kids could wake up quickly. Without waiting for Shouta to ask, he said what the boy's second task would be. Shouta nodded, ready to start immediately.

Kiater walked down the platform from the boat fallowing a blond-haired couple. Her backpack was still hanging from her sholders as she touched the solid, grassy ground with her black shoes and stopped. The air was as fresh as the bright grass. A signifigant wind blew as she began to walk once again towards the Village Hidden in The Leaves. The wind felt nice. She could see the open gates to the Village through some trees. She walked on, getting closer and closer. After a minute or two, she was standing in front of the gates, looking at the shops, buildings, stores and such that were inside. She took in a deep breath. Home, she thought as she walked through the gates and towards one of the streets.

As she walked through many smells filled her nose and many sounds to her ears. She was origonaly searching for a hotel to live in for a time but sadly she hadn't eaten in awhile and the ramen shops smaeels so delicious. She stoped by the next one she passed. There was only one person there when she entered the small shop. It was a middle-aged man who had just finished paying for his meal, it seemed. When the young Aburame sat down on one of the stools, she was greeted by the chef and his assitant.
"Hello! Welcome to Ichimaki!", the black-haired chef greeted. Kiater nodded in reply and observed the menu. After a few seconds of reading, she had decited on what she would devour.
"I would like the special please", Kiater asked. 'Okay' was the chef's reply and Kiater waited. It smelled quite good. Her stomach growled as if it were demanding something to digest. The food arrived. Kiater grabbed a pair of chop-sticks, broke them apart and begun to eat. She had to eat alot because her insects needed food as well. They ate half of what she ate.

((1 / 5))

After about eight minutes and twenty three seconds, Kiater placed her chop-sticks on top of her empty bowel and stood up. The chef looked down at her and told her what her what she owed him for the food. Kiater reached into her left pocket and pulled out some bills. She counted out how much she owed him, left the money on the counter and turned to leave.
"Thank you and come back soon!", the chef said after her. She walked outside and the sun glared at her once again. She waited a second before walking back along the street, looking back and fourth for a decent-looking hotel. After about sixty four feet, she stopped in her tracks and turned her head to her right. In her sight was a nice-looking hotel. It seemed calm and cozy, in a sense, to her. She walked towards it and held her hand out to open the door. She slid the door open and walked inside. It was lit quite well. The floor had a low rug across the bottom of it. The desk was to her left and she turned towards it. No one was there. She looked around, no one was in sight. Kiater mental sighed to herself and waited. After about three minutes, a man came down the stairs. He wore a button-up T-shirt with amber colored leaves around it. When he saw Kiater he smiled.
"Hello. Welcome to the Yellow-Leaf Hotel. I am Criswell. May I be of assistance?", the man asked walking towards her. 'Criswell' and 'Yellow-Leaf'? Such weird names, Kiater thought before replying to Crisswell.
"Yes. How much yen per night?", Kiater asked.
"Twenty per night. Affordable, yes? Do you wish to buy a room?", he asked politely. When Kiater answered 'Yes Sir' to him, his eyes light up. He replyed with an 'Exelant', grabbed a yellow key and led Kiater up to her new home on the second floor. He unlocked a door with the number twenty-six on it and handed Kiater the key. 'Enjoy', was his last word to Kiater before leaving her.

The meeting was relocated to another Fukuimo restaurant in the LEaf village, whic is why I'm here...

“Cross, could you go find our waiter and ask what’s taking her so long?” asked Jasuko. Cross left and Jasuko started to explain. “Okay, here’s the real plan everyone. Forget everything I’ve ever told you about Operation: Exodus. Cross is a spy for The Knights, he informed them about everything. That’s why I had to keep everyone in the dark for so long. Kyo and The Knights are on their way right now, so we have to kill Cross and get out of here,” said Jasuko. Cross came back and everyone was silent. “She said she was on her break and she forgot and she’s sorry and she gave us these dozens of flowers. She’s not getting a tip, huh?” No one said anything. Cross saw the look in Jasuko’s eyes. He quickly reached into his long jacket and pulled out a loaded crossbow. He fired 12 shots at Jasuko and everyone scattered.

A loud explosion came from downstairs. “They’re here!” said Cross as he came back through the window. “My boys.” Four Hunters ran towards Cross, but he shot them all. “Change of plans, Kyo’s already here! We don’t have enough man power to take him. And where the hell is that kid, Exo!?” asked Jasuko. He looked around but didn’t see Rylen anywhere. “Rylen!!! Rylen!!!!” yelled Exo. Rylen emerged from behind the salad bar and slashed Cross’s stomach with his sword-spirals. Before Cross fell, he fired an arrow into Rylen’s arm. Exo stepped on Cross’s cross bow and slashed his neck. “Rylen, are you okay?” asked Exo. “Yeah, dude I’m fine!” said Rylen as he pulled the arrow out of his arm. “Well, well…why are you guys ganging up on my mans?” asked Kyo as he got off the elevator. “Your mans?” asked Jasuko. “Well, my former mans. I see you’re not as dumb as I thought you were. How did you know he was a spy?” asked Kyo. “He’s not even a registered bounty hunter. And I found a letter he sent to you and the Knights,” Jasuko responded. While their conversation continued, Exo looked through the sea of Knights and tried to spot Ivy. He was nowhere to be found.

A shadow covered Exo; it was Kyo with a crossbow at hand. He pointed it at Jasuko and shot him right in the face.
Exo pulled out a kunai and slashed Kyo’s hand. Kyo aimed up and shot the lights out. “s**t! He’s apart of the Nara clan, so he’s able to manipulate shadows,” Exo whispered to himself. “Exo! Where are you!?” Lilli called out. Since Exo and Rylen were apart of the Hyuuga tribe, they had Byukugan, which allowed them to see abnormally well. “Lilli, I see you! I’m coming!” Just then, Lilli began to float in mid air. “What the ******** is going on!?” asked Lilli. It was one of Kyo’s techniques; but it was unlike any Exo had seen before. “This technique is called shadow hands, which allows me to create a hand from the shadows around me,” said Kyo. “Let..her..go!” said Exo. “You intimidate me, Mister. Please stop it,” said Kyo. “I’m not amused. Now let her go!” “Why would I? Why am I talking to you?!” Behind Kyo, Lilli was doing a hand seal. “What are you doing, b***h?!” yelled Kyo.
“HANA SHURIKEN!!!!!” yelled Lilli. The pedals from the flowers the waiter gave Cross hardened and lifted into the air. The pedals launched at Kyo. He fell to the floor. “HUNTERS! RETREAT!!!” yelled Exo.

The Hunters H.Q.…
“So, you’re our new leader now, huh?” asked a Hunter. “No way, you guys know more about Operation: EXODUS than I do,” said Exo. “No we don’t, Jasuko’s been feeding us false information just to throw Cross off track. We don’t know much more than you do. Jasuko is the only one who knew anything, and now he’s dead.” “What’s your name?” asked Exo.
