Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hisaki waved as they scrambled out of the bathhouse, "After the Second Exams, meet me here, got it!" Hisaki scratched the back of his head and took a ninja-jump onto the rooftop. He took his time getting in and grabbing a shirt before visiting the giant billboard. He felt pretty sure of himself, so there was no reason to rush it.



"ZERO POINTS! I DID GREAT IN THERE! THIS IS A MISTAKE" Hisaki stomped around, kicking up dust angrily, "Friggen retarded." Hisaki began to reflect on what was going on in the exams as he walked back to the inn to get ready for the next exam. What did I do wrong? Was it the way I solved the maze? No, everyone was using markers of some sort. I just had a different sort. I wasn't found by anyone, and to be honest, I actually found Yuki on the way. Then I lead him most of the way through the maze, and instructed him how to get through the rest. Oh.. s**t damn... Piss... I know what happened! I should have done the rest of it with him for teamwork! I'm such a moron! I gotta do better on part two!

Hisaki stomped on the ground and looked up at the inn, "They'll see. I WILL BE VICTORIOUS!" Hisaki ignored the worried glances around him and entered the inn to grab his things and go out for a night of training before the exams. Rest was for suckers anyways.

Metsuki turned only to notice his brothers chakra and that of Hane's as well. His Byakugan quickly deactivated as he moved in their dirrection. "Washi, Hane.. What are you doing here? Sora and Jin are within the Exams, I feel the need to head back home for a little bit, I'll have you, Washi stay here and if the time comes to vote please do so in my honor. As for you Hane, you'll be coming back to the village with me...I need your help with something of importance." Without a Word Metsuki took ahold of Hane's shoulder and they quickly disappeared, leaving Washi alone in the Sound village. "Damn... and I just got here... Hmm well I guess I'll find something to do while waiting for what looks to be the second round of the exams..."

Finally arriving within the country side Metsuki and the clones quickly relieved themselves of the boat. Metsuki pondered in thought before looking to Cruxis. ”I have to go find someone...this meeting has been long over due... I’m afraid and I can’t waste any more time. Follow me and be sure to keep close on a clone...” the person he was talking about was the Kazekage, ever since being a Genin and suddenly being ranked Raikage due to the agreement of his village and country to rebuild it’s self with the help of him. He had wanted to test his abilities and to understand where his fellow kage’s stood upon their nation’s desires. He quickly turned as he darted off towards the city; His clones followed him as well. Metsuki activated his Byakugan in which to trace the whereabouts of each of the higher chakra’s. He found one familiarly close to his position as he turned along with the clones and headed into that direction. Who would it be? he asked himself in question possibly another kage he had never come to countering terms with or perhaps someone he had run across earlier within his days.

As he got nearer he noticed a male figure upon a building, the area had been burnt due to a fire storm of some sort obviously. The green lush from the country was merely gone from this area leaving black soot like structures. ash lay across the area as to signify a term of end. Metsuki’s thoughts were upon the person of interest whether he should hide his Byakugan or let it be...He chose to show it.... eventually the world would come to terms with his secret, and thus he was more interested in finding who this male figure was. Before coming even remotely close to eye sight his clones activated several stealth jutsu along with his self. Silent footing in which would prevent sound when stepping and Stealth just incased he was spotted. Finally coming up upon the structure he release his Silent footing jutsu and clanked his foot upon the wood with just enough force to make a sound.

”Oi....I guess your not him....” Metsuki sighed as he looked up to notice the pink haired guy. ”I go looking for the guy and I end up finding you... this is sort of lame ya know... always bumping into you like some random exchange.....Since I’m here I might as well ask you...What were your issues with Wind country?” Metsuki looked up to the male figure, he stood behind him as he could only see slightly passed his shoulder but still good enough not to be surprised or anything. although an attempt to harm him would be quite a adrenaline rush. He looked towards the village once more and saw that another figure was headed his way....who would it be...perhaps the person with high stature in which he was looking for?

The clones scouted the area as well but didn’t find much of anything except the person drawling near them and the purple haired guy. ” Hmmm....Nothing here... there’s not a damn thing around here... I’m bored!...” one of the clones proclaimed seeing as it was apart of metsuki the others look toward the odd clone and told it to shut up in so many looks. Metsuki sighed just before waiting for a reply....and waiting to see who was off the horizon of the village.

Cruxis had always heard tales of Hidden Sound and its kin, the home of the snake fiend Orochimaru among other things; yet the land of rice had its wonders despite these ghost stories. Distracting himself with an Onigiri, the cloud-nin. Not long after being on the boat they were being dragged into some other fight? Sighing, the young gennin activated his Ryuugan in order to keep a better eye on what was going on around him. Although its basic stage was only able to enhance his eyesight to give him 20/20 vision, the ability was useful to notice things faster. Following behind Metsuki, Cruxis kept a hand on the handle of one of the twin swords he'd been given; deciding it best to be ready in case serious combat come into play...
Noticing that the Raikage was using a silent footing technique, Cruxis activated his Bukujutsu, the sky dance technique, in order to tread upon the air and fly behind Metsuki; no longer having to worry about keeping his footsteps quieted - particularly a good thing because he hadn't mastered said silent footsteps ability yet!
'I was really hoping we'd just get to sit back and watch these exams... not have to go around chasing the other people... Maybe if we're fast though we can catch the end of the exams still!', his mood perked up slightly at the thought of getting to watch the exams still; and so he kept focused, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

((I'm not Hyuuga'n Bish... I'm Yamanaka, with a treasured Byakugan due to a fight blaugh


SHIIIIIIT!!!!))

With not much spoken Metsuki simply Readied himself in for the up coming situation he had known that type of voice far to well he looked back to his Genin and simply stated one thing. ”No matter what....Don’t interfere with my fight, I’ve actually been looking towards this day....in a way... I wanted to....no.......I need to understand my worth within my strength....” Slowly sighing his watched as a third party member appeared before him, it was no doubt a interesting figure.. He was buffed and with a Tiger none the less. if this were to be a three way battle it would indeed be interesting, He got Goosebumps from the thought. Pulling up his Sleeves to show some special kinds of bracers he held upon his body he looked back to Cruxis for a moments time, with a hand he tossed the pair to him. ”keep them.....A special gift for you watching and not interfering with my entertainment.” He spoke roughly as he took off his backward head band and placed it upon his forehead so it showed the symbol of his village. He hadn’t warn it like such way in a very long long time and figured it was now time as Raikage to show his true colors. And thus he stated his name and Rank along with village. ”My name is Metsuki Yamanaka,... My Rank is Raikage...and of course I spawn from Cloud Village...it‘s a pleasure to meet you again and to meet you for the first time.” and with that the battle for him was on...

with some weird mutant gene that is distantly related to the other Doujutsu xp ]



Reckless was the only way to describe it... unlike ordinary battles a three-way fight was dangerous if any two members decided to team up on the third in order to remove the stronger one from play; it required reflexes, the ability to predict just whom would attack whom... His active Ryuugan allowed him to pick out their facial features to remember each in detail just in case the Raikage indeed fell in battle; unfortunately he knew the opponents were out of his league. He'd already been backing up when Metsuki tossed him a set of bracers, and Cruxis quickly responded with a "Yes, sir..." before moving up to a rooftop; keeping his Ryuugan focused on the combatants.
Unlike the Byakugan and Sharingan, eyes that had specifically evolved for combat purposed; Cruxis's Ryuugan eye was an eye of information. It could improve his eyesight, and his father had been able to use it to see the colors of chakra; allowing him to identify the elements of charging chakra. Unfortunately he had only progressed to the first stage of the eye; which enhanced his eyesight and gave better peripheral vision. 'Alright Cruxis... concentrate... you can't interfere but you can at least learn a thing or two... What was it dad always told me about the Ryuugan...', he pondered a moment; the majority of the things his father had told him were along the lines of not using it unless it was an emergency due to the fact that there still were ninja in the world who sought to steal doujutsu; and a new doujutsu would be valued as a rarity and cut off before he had the opportunity to make a clan all his own with the eye... his dad had promised to teach him how to properly use the eye in time, but when the plague took his mother, his father died from grief; and now was not in any position to teach him about the eye... 'Alright... let's try this on my own then.... Focus, breathe.... focus, breathe.... its like controlling chakra... know what you want, and Go..... Focus, breathe, see the shot, and SHOOT', his focus paid off; recalling the stage two Ryuugan his father had used; what it looked like, and willing himself to use it! The golden irises that normally expanded over the whites of his eyes began to shrink back to the size of normal irises; his black narrowed pupils remaining the same size, but a glint of gold sparkling within them; the whites of his eyes displayed thin veins within them that pulsed on occasion, matching his heartbeat and the rhythm of the battle... He felt his mind clear and sharpen as he focused on the combatants, seeing the colors his father had told him about... This was a power he could use to monitor the battle from the distance he was at; something he could use to study the utilized techniques and perhaps learn how to perform them himself...
Sai's stomach chakra was focused and ready; a sea of power waiting to be viewed... the primary colors within it were pale green and a deep blue... the golden yellow chakra flowed strongest within Metsuki, obviously the Raikage was a great user of lightning, he'd not expected any different... The Tsuchikage's chakras appeared to mimic a deep red and course brown; knowing his own colors he knew at the very least this man was a fire user... It was going to be an interesting battle!
'I can't fight, but I can watch this battle and report the data to Metsuki-senpai-sama... by reading the elements of their attacks, I can know what was used, how efficiently he performed, and which elements serve as a weakness he can overcome!' the duty of a sensor-nin was becoming clearer to him as he watched the three ninja prepare their faceoff...

Oasis exited the area with a skip as she bounce her way out the door from the exams and stood outside awaiting her friends arrival she walked around and took a deep breath stretching her entire body out and letting out a yawn. That had been an interesting experience, and now that they were on the outside it was time to see if she was right about the tag. "Oi, Yua wanna be a guinea-pig for me real quick?" she questions as she held up the tag she pilfered from Hatsuma's hind quarters. "I wanna know what it does, so can I put it on you for a moment and find out?" she questions with a wide grin across her face. She figured it was harmless or else Hatsuma would have noticed it earlier so she wasn't THAT worried about it really. She awaited the answer with great anticipation displayed quite obviously by her impatient wiggling about.

Oasis smiled brightly as Yua agreed to her request and leaned in to let her attach the tag to her. Oasis blinked a few times as she considered where she wanted to stick the tag, and eventually she decided to go with the best possible choice and stuck the tag right square in the middle of Yua's forehead. "taadaa!" she chimes as she swept her hands out as if displaying her handy work. "So... whats it do?" she questions as she awaited an interesting response.
