Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kuma stared at the shuriken and the sun setting Gotta finish this up fast...
----
20 mins later.
Using a running jump, Kuma vaulted onto the tree. Using his momentum he took a couple of steps to the tree and lept off from fear of losing balance. He stared at the free and could notice his foot prints engraved in the brittle bark. He'd been using too much chakra....Wiping off the sweat from his forhead, he took a couple of steps back and tried once again.
One
Two
Three
on the fourth step, he slammed his hand on the tree and vaulted himself up a couple of feet to keep his momentum going.

(Tree Climbing = 4/6)

Using the breif air time to catch his breath he focused on his feet once more. 30 feet seemed much shorter than he originally thought as hs took off running up the tree. He passed the halfway point and lost his footing, falling several feet. He quickly put chakra to his hand and slapped it on the trunk, the momentum causing him to spiral down the the now candy stripped tree several feet. He used another hand to claw his way back up and hopped onto his feet.

(Tree Climbing 5/6)

Kuma breathing was heavily as he had never used his chakra so precisly before. Not even the water was this bad. The text book was right when it mentioned that tree climbing was a particually difficult move. Though it was required for Genin, it was none the less a sparingly used move, most shinobi he'd seem simply bounded from tree to tree rather than climb on one with two feet.
As he reached the 25 foot mark, his thoughts broke his concentration. He regained it quickly and reached for a nearby tree branch.
He used the momentum to spin around the branch and vault himself above the shuriken mark. Focusing his chakra, he began to run down the trunk MUCH EASIER! he thought as he bent down and released the shuriken and threw it at the ground, landing with a safe THUD at Chey's feet.
Kuma lept off the last couple of feet and landed on the ground, panting slightly. Nazu barked with joy and licked his masters face and Chey picked up his ninja star and pocketed it.
"Tough huh?" he asked
"yeah...."
Chey pulled something from his back pocket and handed it to Kuma. It was his own headband with the Konoha insignia ecthed in the metal. "Welcome to the party." He said extending his hand to Kuma and bringing the now genin to his feet. "What are you going to do now?"
"Go home....Sleep....and train some more..."
"Well good luck Genin... i hope to see you again in the future..." and with a wisp of smoke he was gone....leaving the Inuzuka with his pup alone by the river bank
"Well that was anti-climatic." He said as he becasue walking towards the docks.

(Tree Climbing = COMPLETE, if need be i can change this.... yeah i got a bit lazy at the end haha.)

Bunshin no jutsu [2/3]

[3/3] Bunshin No jutsu complete!

Tamao

Tamao turned to watch as Hedoro got out of the water. Was she done already? That was a little disappointing, it felt like they'd only just gotten here. It was no fun being the only one in the springs at night, so maybe she should call it quits too? She didn't get out of the water right away, though. Instead she just took a moment to think, and relax while she was at it.
She saw Hedoro looking around for something, and tried to figure out what it was. The only thing Hedoro had come in with that she didn't have now was her clothes. Was that what she was looking for? Tamao could have sworn that she had toled Hedoro she had tossed them in the wash. Hadn't she? Apparantly not, because that was the only thing she could imagine Hedoro would look for so intently. She called out to her, and slipped out of the water. Drying herself off, she pointed to a fluffy bathrobe and towel, telling Hedoro that her clothes were in the wash, they'd be reasonably clean in about an hour.

Hedoro

Hedoro came to a stop when Tamao called out to her. So that's where her clothes had went to! Why hadn't Tamao told her before? Well, nothing could be done about it now. She debated asking where the washing machine was, she could just where her things wet, but decided against it. Tamao would probably just try to get her to wait anyways. It was kind of odd, but she actually felt she knew Tamao enough to predict how she would react to some things. Sure, she'd been able to second-guess people before, but this was a whole other level.
Sighing, she walked over to the robe and towel, and pulled the robe on. She didn't really need to dry herself off, what little water that had stayed on her had been absorbed with a thought as she got out of the water. She cinched the robe as snugly as it would go, then used the towel to wrap around her head, as if her hair was still damp. She pulled her arms more fully inside of the robe, and shrunk her legs somewhat. All in all, she nearly managed to hide her form completely with just the robe and towel, although it was rather awkward.

Hedoro

If Hedoro had normal eyes, they would have widened in shock at Tamao's first suggestion. No way, absolutely not! But even before she had a chance to object, Tamao suggested something a little less extreme. She must have already known how she'd react, and tried to find the middle ground. Maybe she was even right? If she could find a less noticeable disguise, then it could only help her attempts to go unnoticed, right? Which would stand out more, someone with a cloak and hood, or someone dressed in so many rags and tatters you couldn't see them at all? It seemed so obvious now!
Still a little reluctant, she had to think for a moment. But in the end, she agreed, and followed Tamao back to their room, to see what she'd manage to come up with. Once they got inside of the room, she loosened the towel a little, gathering it around her shoulders, and returned her legs to their normal length. Admittedly there was no real 'normal' length, it's just the size she used most often, as was most accustomed to. She turned to Tamao and gestured, as if to say go ahead, do your worst.

.: Kazemaru placed some weights on and did walking laps around the training dojo. He felt the burn and began to pick up walking speed, him now doing laps powerwalking. He had began to feel the burn and began to jog around, doing laps that way. :.

Weight Running [1/3]

.: Kazemaru had been running around doing laps continually. His legs were getting stronger and he was getting faster with every passing lap. He stopped running when he felt the weight of the ankle weights dissapear. He then changed the weights to a heavier pack. He had placed that on and began struggling to walk in those. :.

Weight Running [2/3]

.: He was struggling walking with the weights on, hopping inbetween some steps. He was sweating and struggling to jog around. He had been doing this for about thirteen laps, before he could walk in them fine. He then began jogging for about twelve laps before he collapsed onto the ground. He took his time getting up and began to struggle to jog. He had been very tired and weak but when he was able to run five laps without failure he'd stop. He had done five laps after and taken the weights of, he felt as if he could float, he felt light and took a seat :.
