Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( I want you to control Rock Lee if you do mind. It will help you to get more post that way. ))

Toph would listen to the words of Rock Lee that filled her ears as he had chosen to introduce himself to the pair. Toph would quickly bow slightly as a show of respect to Rock Lee. Toph would not get a chance to say anything as she would quickly hear the words of Kaisude introduce the pair to one of the greatest taijutsu master of all the nations and villages with the world of the Shinobi. Toph did not say a word and would allow Rock Lee to dwell upon the vocial request for training of the pair. While Rock Lee though about the request, Toph’s ears would quickly be filled with the words of Kaisude as he expressed the fact that he believed and was correct in the fact that all the eight different celestial gates would cause pain to the user of the gate. Toph knew first hand that as one progressed through the eight celestial gate that the pain upon the users body would increase accordingly. Toph was not surprised that a son of a ANBU member would already have been able to understand this ever basic concept of pain and the eight celestial gates. Toph figures that Rock Lee would choose to allow the pair to train with him since he would sure remember training Toph a while back even through she was only a genin at the time.

Toph would listen as Rock Lee broke the awkward silence that filled the air as both Kaisude and herself would await the response of him to the request to train. Rock Lee’s statements about how a true master of the first seven celestial gates would be able to defeat their opponents before the pain of the released gates would be too great for the user. The reason that it was only the first seven celestial gates was do to the fact that the eight and final gate would ensure the death of the user do to the location of the gate within the users body. As Rock Lee would recall the visit of the blind genin that trained with him a while back, Toph would smile and nod her head while saying, “Your assumption is correct. I have entered in and managed to successful pass the Chuunin Exams since we have last talked.” Toph would pause and take in a breath as she thought about which techniques and skills that she would to wish to train in. While Toph paused, Kaisude would quickly fill the silence with the list of fighting styles that he was hoping to learn. Toph would wait until Kaisude finished the list before she would speak up and say, “I would also like to receive so training in a pair of few fighting styles, Drunken Fist Style and Strong Fist Style.” Toph would stop at this point in the list even through she had a list of techniques and other skills that she hoped to convince Rock Lee to train her in before departing the village hidden among the leaves. As Toph finished speaking and giving her starter list of the styles, techniques, and skills that she hoped to learn, the voice of Maito Gai would intrude upon the group. Toph was planning to continue her personal training plan with Maito Gai in a few different techniques and skills once she was finished with the techniques, skills, and styles that she planned to learn from Rock Lee. While Toph would await the responce to the training request, Toph's mind would slightly wonder as thought back to the fight that she assisted the Raikage in the defense of the village hidden among the clouds agianst the heartless monters that attacked the village by surprise not to long ago.

As Toph would listen to the words of Rock Lee explain to her that he would want to train with Kaisude while she would train with Maito Gai. Toph would smile and nod her head while saying, “That will be fine. Thank you both for your time.” Both Toph and Maito would move slightly apart from where Kaisude and Rock were going to be training in the different fighting styles. As the pair separated Maito would then ask her a question about her remembering him, Toph would look over her shoulder towards him and said, “I do remember training with you. It has been a while.” As Toph looked over at Maito it would allow him the chance to look into her pale eyes. As the information about the fact that Toph was blinded was placed firmly in the middle of the stage and the words of Maito would fill her ears about a possible solution to change the situations that she had always know. Toph would not take but a split millionth of a second to reply, “I have heard that the Hokage had been able to restore stuff that had happened to the nins of Hidden Leaf. However, I am not exactly sure that the Hokage will be able to assist me in my situation since I have been blind since birth and therefore do not have sight that is able to be restored since I never had it to start with.” Toph had figured that herself and Maito had given Kaisude and Rock enough room to train and would stop walking and then say, “You should know that I have managed to picked up a few special skills that will allow me to get around just find.” Toph was not going to explain the fact that she had learned two techniques that built upon her dependence of the other senses. The first technique that she learned was one that allowed her to feel the minutest object’s movements as the moved around her and allowed her to picture it clearly in her head. The second technique that she had picked up built upon her hearing and allowed her to focuses upon a particular sound and would be able to track it a know the exact location of the object for a distance up to a mile from where she stood with easy. After the passing moments of silence filled the air, Toph would then say, “So are you fluent in all the same techniques that student, Rock Lee, has been known to master as well? The reason that I as is because I would really like to learn a few new fighting styles to help increase my ability to defend myself should it come to that.” While Toph would await the responce to her question from Maito, Toph would take the time to think about the techniques that Maito was known for incase he was not able to teach her the fighting styles.

Yoshi took a small break. The technique that he just learned just gave him a major headache. He wanted to go over to Kurenai and learn some Genjutsu techniques. As he was walking, the headache was slowly reducing. By the time he got to his destination, the headache was completely gone. It must have been the Cursed Seal that Orochimaru gave him. When he looked for Kurenai, he could not find her. He asked around and finally found her. She was over at a restaurant eating some really good food.
1
Yoshi walked up to her and said. “Hey Kurenai. I need you to teach me some Genjutsu techniques.” She nodded. He continued his questioning. “Can you start by teaching me Flower Petal Escape? Then Flower Petal Dissolve?”
He waited for a response. She nodded. “I have noting better to do so I guess that I can teach you some of those techniques. Would you like to learn Tree Binding Death also?” Yoshi nodded. “I guess I will teach you that technique last. Let us start with the technique that will help you the most.”
2
Yoshi nodded. Genjutsu is just like Ninjutsu, but it is more focused. Since Yoshi knew that, he paid close attention to everything that Kurenai said. “When you feel like using a Genjutsu, make sure that you use it according to the type of technique that it is. When you want to make the person feel like he is burning, you use the nerves for pain and for feeling. If you want them to go around in circles, then you make them see things and attack their visual perception. There is a way to make all of the senses confused at the same time, but it is harder said than done.”
3
She continued. “However, once you learn it, it will be like a technique that you know very well. It will be as easy for you as it is for a pro like me. You might have problems with it once in a while, but you can always work them out to make the technique perfect. This first technique is used to get you out of really hard Genjutsu. Sometimes, the only way out is by forcing your way out. If you can’t release it and you can’t get help from your friends, then you use this technique to disappear into a bunch of flower petals.”
4
“These petals will not only cover your surroundings, but it will also help you get out of the trouble that you are in. Once you are out, your opponent won’t know where you are. This is the perfect time to use your own Genjutsu or you can just do a simple attack. They might be expecting a simple attack, so I advise that you do a Genjutsu to strike back.” Yoshi had a few questions that he had wanted to ask. “Is there any way to make a Genjutsu and have free attacks on the person or is the Genjutsu only last about a second in real time?”
5
She answered. “There are some techniques where the person will be in a Genjutsu for a very long time, but it will only last for a few seconds in the real world. There are others where the person in a Genjutsu will fall asleep so that the attacker has a bunch of free shots at the opponent. Then there is the kind that I am teaching you. This kind of Genjutsu has an effect that lets the opponent stay awake, but they are dreaming about something else. This kind is the most common and is also the kind that lets the opponent out easily. It is used as a cover attack.”
6
She went on to talk about the hand seals. “The hand seals for this technique are short, but you will need to learn how to do this really fast. If you can’t, it could mean life or death in a Genjutsu. I forgot to tell you that Genjutsu are techniques that mess with a person’s chakra flow in their mind. It is a very simple way to strain the brain and force some one into a coma or death. Because this process could take a long time, a ninja usually kills their opponent before he or she has the chance to break free. The only exception is the Uchiha technique.”
7
Yoshi said. “Of course. I know that one. That technique takes less than a second to occur in the mind of the opponent, but it could mean mental strain beyond what most ninja are trained to do. This technique itself has the ability to kill Chunnin and some Jounin. Most trained ninja Jounin have the ability to suppress the mind and decrease the strain on their brains to make the pain small enough not to kill them. They will still hurt to the point of death, but they will stop right when they reach that line.” Yoshi smiled. He was happy that he knew something like that.
8
She nodded and smiled. “It is good to know that you are very informed about things like that. The way to avoid that is not to look in their eyes. Back to the technique that you are learning. I already showed you the hand seals. Now you have to do it when I use a Genjutsu on you. You can use Release if you can’t break out easily.” She did Tree Binding Death on Yoshi. He did the hand seals and said. “Flower Petal Escape.” He turned into a bunch of flower petals and disappeared. When he got out, he changed the technique by a little. He made it so that leaves surround him instead of flower petals.

Once Yoshi had mastered the technique that he was learning, he went over to some of the other Jounin to learn from them. Before he had left, he had told Kurenai that he would be back. Genjutsu was a bit tougher than he thought. It was especially harder because of the cursed seal. Yoshi had only used it once when he was in a lot of trouble. It was like the seal was calling out to him. Yoshi went to Genma and asked him if he could teach Yoshi how to do toothpick. Genma answered. “Sure. I don’t have much to do today.”
1
Yoshi and Genma went to Gai and Lee’s training area. There were a lot of targets that he could practice on. “This technique isn’t used only for toothpicks. You can use it for anything that is shaped close to a toothpick. All you have to do is spit it out at a very fast speed. If you master it, you can use a toothpick as a weapon as good as a kunai. It will be like a third weapon. Here are a bunch of toothpicks.” He handed Yoshi a box. “Make sure that you always put one in your mouth. It will be a weapon that has helped me survive for a while.”
2
Yoshi nodded. He took the box and put it in his bag. He grabbed one out of the box and put it in his mouth. “For the first exercise, you will have to try and hit the center point.” They trained and trained with a regular target. After he got very good with it, they went on to accuracy. He got a can with a hole as big as a toothpick. The point in this was for Yoshi to get the toothpick right through the hole. Yoshi had a few problems, but he was good enough to make it go through on his eighth try. He had mastered this technique and now he could hit any point he wanted to exactly.

Yoshi walked up to Shizune at the Hokage house. He asked her if she was free for him to teach him any techniques. She answered. “I am very busy right now. I don’t think that I have time to teach you any techniques. Are you a quick learner?” Yoshi nodded with a quick answer. “Yes I am. I tend to learn things faster than what most people think that I can. If you have any short technique I will learn that now, and be back for another technique later.” She nodded. “There is one technique that I know that will be a good help to you.”
1
Yoshi asked. “What kind of technique is it?” She answered. “It is a Ninjutsu technique.” Yoshi nodded. He was hoping that this technique would be simple enough for him not to hurt himself doing the technique from the cursed seal. He was noticing that it was starting to open up even more. Every time he used chakra, it didn’t hurt anymore. He knew that it was about time for the seal to fully activate. “This is a needle spiting technique.” Yoshi was relieved. He wouldn’t have to do a lot since he recently learned how to spit toothpicks.
2
She explained. “This technique has no hand seal. All you have to do is summon a needle in your mouth. Then you spit it at frighteningly fast speeds. If you have learned Toothpick from Genma, this technique should be very simple. The only part that you have to work on is the summoning into your mouth. Focus your chakra into your mouth for two reasons. One is so that you can put some poison on it for more damage. Second is so that you don’t cut yourself with the poisonous needle while it is in your mouth. Yoshi did the summoning perfectly. He even got the amount of poison perfectly.

As Yoshi was walking back to learn more Genjutsu, he met Lee and Gai. They both had made a few new techniques. Gai offered. “I have some new techniques that will be very useful in many situations. Would you like to learn it?” Yoshi nodded. This would help him relax wile he learned with Gai. Lee and Gai tended to give Yoshi easy tasks that he would later want to practice harder. This would make him very good with these techniques. This time, he didn’t have time to repeat them. He wanted to learn straight out.
1
Yoshi said. “I would like to train with you, but you will have to make me work hard now, since I don’t have time to waste. I can’t try to learn it better later. I have to be able to do it myself right now, and I can’t have any problems with it at all.” They both agreed. Lee said. “You and Gai can train fast. I have a technique that I want you to learn. It is a very powerful attack.” The last three words in his sentence mesmerized Yoshi. He really wanted to learn the technique now. Yoshi got ready for his first lesson. It would have to be very simple.
2
Gai started the lesson. “This is not a defined technique. You can use it in many ways without you messing up. There is one base that you need to learn. After you learn the base, you will be able do this technique without any problems. The main thing for this technique is simple. Charge your chakra so that you can do a move to disarm your opponent. This will make your opponent weaker by a bit. This should give you an advantage in your battle. If you have mastered the weapon that the person is using, then you have a better chance. Now, disarm me.”
3
Yoshi runs at Gai and takes his nunchucks. It turns out that Gai still had a hand attached to the nunchucks. This let him pull Yoshi backwards into the wall. He tried again and again. Then Gai said. “The key is to use your body to make it so that you have the best grip. Then use your body weight to pull backwards.” Yoshi tried. He used his legs as a means to launch himself away from Gai. He wrapped the nunchucks around his arm and climbed on Gai using his legs. Then he ran a bit and pushed. Gai let go of the nunchucks because he didn’t have a solid grip.

Cherry Blossom Snow Storm: 2/2

Rock Lee pondered on whether he would teach Toph the forbidden attacks or not, he remembered what happended when he tryed to use it on Sasuke. Though it was not a hard or harsh punishment, he was scolded for using it or better yet trying to use it. He stould in a quiet stance and pondered on his decision, he would like to train others and become a master to an aprentice one day, but he had long ways to do something of that Caliber. He looked at Toph smiling and pointed at her.

"Alright I will teach you the Primary and Reverse Lotus, it will take some time to get down, and it will cause strenious pain upon you. Though the way you learn these techniques say that you will be able to master it faster than me, so prepare yourself this is going to get fun." He said and then took his strong fist fighting style stance, he was going to do exactly what Gai was doing and train her by fighting her. "I will not hold back you are the same level as me, so do not hold back."

Kaisude and Gai fought vigurously trying to hit and afflict pain on one another, though they knew that they weren't going to try and kill each other. That was something they would do if they were at war with each other, Gai would surely win that bout if they had met in a real fight or war. For now one held back and the other gave most of his all. There was no distractions either so they both focused on delivering their blows at each other, Kaisude used his drunken boxing technique and then had the upper hand. He was able to land more hits this way and it allowed him to attack with above average accuracy, he wasn't going to give in either, he could feel the gate releasing or atleast loosening. He wasn't going to activate it that would be too dangerous, for him and everyone around him. Though he had an advantage Gai saw an opening and threw off his fighting style, he switched back to strong fist and made it equal again. He was sure that he would be able to figure out a way to get more hits in. "Thirty-three." Is what the turtle had said and then continued to count their attacks.

"Had enough yet? Or can you go te extra mile?" Gai said and then used a powerful kick called, "Konoha full kick soccer." The kick landed and hit Kai dead in his chest, Gai might have over done it but knew the Genin would be ok. Kaisude hit the wall pretty hard but he landed on his feet more or less, on one knew he held his chest breathing heavily. "That was a nice kick, it almost hurt." He said trying to act tuff though he was at his end he wanted to continue and fight against Gai and this time he was going to use a gate. As he tryed to get up his body stopped him and he stayed on one knee, "It seems I am at my end, but I still need to learn the rest of them." He continues to try and get up and after the third try he succeded. "Come on. Lets get this started again." He said and then charged at Gai, with his wits about him he was sure that he would be able to land the first attack. "You should stop while your ahead you are only going to do more damage to your body." He said trying to be reasonable, but Kaisude was already in the air with a jump kick.
13/13

"Let us make sure that we don't kill each other, I won't take your disadvantage into consideration though I will hold back on attacks that seem to strong." He said and then jumped towards Toph he swung his body around sending a first kick towards her torso, "Leaf whirlwind." He said announcing his attack that aimed for her head, though if she blocked it he would put his hand on the ground and reverse his spin to sweep with his other leg. He hadn't held back on this and would allow Toph to feel what she was dealing with, he was going to go in this fight determined. His mind was set upon the fight and nothing else he was in the zone, he and Toph were surely going to enjoy this fight and make it as harmless as possible; that was going to be hard to do because things were going to get competitive. There was always room to get better and Toph was finding a way to do that as was Kaisude, they both were getting stronger each time they go for a skill. They had to stay dedicated and allow nothing to stop them.

Gai dodged the attack and then grabbed the back of Kaisude's shirt, throwing him to the ground he frowned. "You shouldn't go over board thats how you die and get others killed as well." He said as he looked down at Kaisude he was impressed by his determination, even though he needed to cool himself down hot heads aren't good leaders. If he was to be a leaser Kaisude would have to learn to keep his cool, so for the next test they would do some medidatating. "Kaisude lets not fight to learn the next one, we shall practice our breathing and becoming one with ourselves. You have a bright future ahead of you and if you want to be like your father then you will have to become one with yourself. I know who you are you look just like him, even though I have seen him once I still remeber Kotaku's face." He said knowing that what he had just said would throw the Genin off and make it so that he was eager to learn but calm. Gai smiled and waited for the responce from Kaisude knowing that he would ask questions and listen as well.

Kaisude's body went limp as he was caught and thrown back to the ground, even though he wanted to continue to fight he wasn't going to try. He ould only make a fool of himself, so as he layed on the ground breathing heavily he thought about his father. How they enjoyed training together and how he would be a better shinobi then him some day, Kotaku only made it to the ANBU postion Kaisude plans on making it to the Captain of the ANBU Black OPS. He was determined to even though he was only a Taijutsu user he would do his best and show that he could lead the ANBU without the use of Jutsu and show that he was as useful as any jutsu user. He and Toph had much more to prove to the Raikage, because they were similar in ways they understould.Toph had a different path though, his train of thought was thrown off onve he heard Gai speak to him. He listened in silence and then sat up looking at the Jounin directly in the eyes, he was willing to do what ever it takes to become a better leader. When he heard Gai speak of his father, Kaisude's eyes widened and he looked at Gai with curiousity in his eyes. He was a bit worried that Gai knew who he was since his clan had been destroyed a long time ago and the bounty still stould on his head. He was risking everything when he came to Konoha which is why he wore the straw hat and the trench coat, to cover his indetity. Though it seemed that neither of the nin were going to turn him in, and that made his hightened sense of parnoia drop.
