Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the boat would that carried Toph and Kaisude from the shores of the Village Hidden among the Clouds in the heart of Lighting Country to the shore of the Village Hidden among the Leaves in the heart of Fire Country, Toph’s mind would slightly wonder as she returned to these lands for the first time since she managed to achieve the rank of Chuunin. Toph hoped that both herself and Kaisude were not going to have a hard time locating either Rock Lee or Maito Gai within the village. As the pair walked through the woods and approached the wall that protected the village came into side, Toph would look over towards Kaisude and ask, “Would you want to train with Rock Lee, Maito Gai, or Hatake Kakashi first?” In the back of her mind while awaiting the answer from Kaisude, Toph was planning the next village that she hope to visit to train in. Toph had actually already selected the Village Hidden among the Sound to be next. Toph wanted to learn the skills and techniques that when combined together make up the Achiever of Nirvana Fist Style from Jiroubou.

Toph would hear the voice of Kaisude as the pair boarded the boat that carried them to Hidden Leaf and instantly replied with, “I consider you are friend and hope that you would consider me one as well.” The pair would enjoy the peaceful trip across the sea to Hidden Leaf and as the pair arrived in Hidden Leaf and exited the boat, Toph heard the question about the Body Flicker technique. Toph would not take but a second to think about how to respond to the question before then splitting her lips and saying, “Body Flicker is a momentarily boost the user's reflexes. With it they can move short distances at an almost untraceable speed, appearing to onlookers as though they teleport in a puff of smoke. The range of the technique is dependent on the user's chakra supplies, and as such the ability is rarely used to cover long distances due to the amount of energy it would require.” As both Toph and Kaisude reached the wall that completely surrounds Hidden Leaf, Toph asked who Kaisude would want to train with first. Receiving an answer that he wished to continue the training in the celestial gates, Toph would smile and then say, “That means that we should probably look for Maito Gai then.” Toph and Kaisude would not have any trouble passing through the gates and making their way into the streets of the Village Hidden among the Leaves.

Toph would listen as Kaisude would reply to the statement about the friendship that she had shared and developed over the time that the pair had shared. Toph has only been give a few opportunities to meet and get to know nins within the different countries of the Shinobi World, she had been given even less opportunities to meet nins that were from the village hidden among the clouds. Toph had actually only managed to meet two other nins that were actually from the village hidden among the clouds, of those two, only one of them would actually be a member of the Dattoumaru Clan. Toph would not speak a word to express the loneliness that typically filled the lives of the nins of the village among the clouds, but rather Toph would allow a smile and a nod to be her acknowledgement of Kaisude as both a friend and an alley. After Toph would mention the fact that the pair should probably choose to seek out Maito Gai first to train with, the words of Kaisude would quickly provide her with a mixed reaction that surely filled Kaisude about who they were going to find first. Toph picked up on the fact that Kaisude would prefer to train with Rock Lee a lot more than he would prefer to train with Maito Gai. Toph would not be able to contain the slight laughter as she listened to the expression of the fact that Kaisude consider himself to be a drunk for the most part and how the Rock Lee had developed a style of fighting that used this to the nins advantage, Toph had actually already heard about the style but was not really sure about the name of the fighting style. Toph would quickly reply, “I think that it would probably be better to start our training in the Village Hidden among the Leaves with a technique that you would want to learn rather than one that you need to learn. Let us go into the village and see if we can locate the master of the drunken fighting style.” Toph would allow Kaisude to slightly lead her as the pair would walk due to the simple fact that he was aided by the gift of working sight and this would prevent the normal troubles and difficulties that faced Toph while visiting the different villages of the Shinobi world like. Toph would typically run literally head first into people by accident and then having to explain the fact that she was blind. Not to mention the typically harder time Toph often faced while attempting to locate people that may only be a few steps away from her, but since she is not able to just look at the people’s faces she would often be forced to search the area for often twice or even three times longer that what would be needed to locate the person who she was searching for if she was able to see.

As the pair, Toph and Kaisude, would continue to debate back and forth while they attempted to come an agreement upon which person they would seek out to learn from. Toph would have her ears quickly filled with an expression of anger that was instantly followed by an action of covering his mouth and muttering something that she was not able to make out. As Kaisude would remove his and then speak again, Toph would guess that he was repeating what he had said the first time that she was unable to hear due to the hands covering his mouth. Toph would not really respond to the apology for the actions that were displayed by Kaisude due to the fact that Toph did not understand why he was apologizing to start with. Kaisude would quickly then change the subject as he agreed the air should attempt to find Rock Lee. Toph would instantly smile upon hearing the wish to learn the gates from her rather than Maito Gai. Toph could really not blame him for choosing her over Maito, because she remembered what it was like to study under Maito and she was not really all that impressed with him. As Kaisude would explain a little bit of his past and the effects that his father’s drunken boxing had upon him as a young child, Toph would not take but a second to reply, “Your drive and determination sounds strong, I am sure that you will be far better than your father ever was.” Toph would notice that Kaisude had slightly slowed his pace that he traveled to a point that he was not really leading her, but rather walking beside as they traveled down the street. Toph did not say anything about it, rather her mind would recall the prior visit to the village hidden among the leaves and know that the best chance to find Rock Lee was to check the Dojo that was just up the street a few more blocks. While the pair continued to walk Toph would decide to take the time to continue the training of Kaisude in the eight celestial gates. Toph would then say, “What can you tell me about the forth celestial gate? Other than the fact that it is more commonly called the wound gate.” Toph would slightly chuck after the last part left her mouth while she awaited the response of her friend and student.

Just as soon as Toph would finish complimenting Kaisude on his determination and drive, the words of Kaisude would begin to quickly fill her ears with a few statements of his own. Toph would smile at the comment about her being his only friend. However it was the next comment about him probably being dead if he would have not left his abusive childhood home. Toph really did not know how to respond to that comment at all and decided to attempt to draw Kaisude’s mind away from that thought with this comment, “The instructors at the academy are not very encouraging all that often. They never really thought that I would be able to graduate. I wonder how the instructors would act if they were to learn that I have already managed to successfully achieve the rank of Chuunin.” Toph’s voice would contain a hint of her content she harbored towards the instructors of the official ninja academy. As Toph would finish her comment, Kaisude’s question reached her ears as he attempted to figure out the reason that lead to the blindness Toph contends with on a daily bases. Toph would quickly reply, “I do not mind you asking at all. The answer to the question is that I have been blind since birth.” Toph’s mind would slightly wander as her head would fill with the thoughts of how much more tortures it would be to have become blind in any other way that she had. Toph knew that she was forced to suffer with out ever being about see first hand some of the most amazing and beautiful sights that would naturally occur with nature, but at the same time the blindness shielded Toph from some of the ugliest sights that occurred naturally at the hands of the most twisted nins of some of the countries. After a quick passing second while Toph’s mind wondered, Toph would then look over towards the general direction of Kaisude and then say, “I know that you did not intently avoid or leave my question without an answer about your current knowledge of the forth celestial gate.” Toph knew that more than likely Kaisude had knowledge of the gate and by taking the time to only build upon it would save the pair a little time in the training of all eight gates. Toph knew that the pair would most likely be just outside the door of the Konoha Dojo that was the best change they would have of locating to attempting to catch up with Rock Lee in order to attempt to get him to instruct the pair in the a number of the different techniques, skills, and styles that made Rock Lee so famous though out a number of the different taijutsu clans that could be found in various countries that make up the Shinobi world.

Toph would listen as Kaisude would begin to explain the history of his family and how it was not as bad as she had come to assume by the information that was give to her about his father being a drunken master and just an all around drunk. But the fact that his father was a ANBU member lets Toph know that he was still a nin to be contented with in a fight no matter how drunk he was. Toph would listen to the second part about how the clan members were determined to be a threat that was too great to allow to be left alive in the mind of the Hokage. Toph had listened to the explanation of the pass and would not help but to forget that she had asked Kaisude a second time about the forth celestial gate in hopes of understanding his knowledge of the gate and exactly where he should begin his training in the gate. Toph did not care as the pair would approach and open of the dojo and would quickly be pushed open and the pair entered the dojo the large open room dojo that a number of nins were working on improving as well as maintaining the skills and techniques that was in there arsenal. Toph was allowing Kaisude time to look over the room and see if he could see Rock Lee.

As both Kaisude and Toph entered the Dojo, Toph could tell by the chakra within the room that Rock Lee was indeed in the Dojo and appeared to be in a slightly relaxed state. As Toph would hear the words of Kaisude that entered her ears as she would lonely assume that Kaisude was talking about Rock Lee’s appearance, but she did not know exactly how to respond to the question that was asked of her. Toph would not have to response to the question as it was at this point that Kaisude would the recall that Toph had actually asked him about the forth celestial gate in order to understand his knowledge of this gate. Toph would listen to the statement as the pair walked towards Rock Lee. Toph would manage to reply to Kaisude before the pair would reach Rock Lee with this statement. “By opening the forth celestial gate one is able to release the limit of oxygen intake into their body. However, for the cost of increased oxygen intake and thus slightly greater speed and power the usage’s muscles will begin to tear apart slightly. The pain caused by the tearing lead to the name of the gate.”
