Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chiyo nodded. but didn't like the idea of hitting trees. She focused on another point on his hand. With a shift movement, she hit another. She could feel Hayate come closer. She wandered why he did that. 'It must be for learning purposes. He did say he came here to train.' she thought as she hit another point on his hand. "How long will it take for the points to go back to normal? Is it very long?" She wanted to know just incase she had to fight a follow Hyuuga. If she ever got hit be her own, she wanted to know how long she had to wait before she could fight again.

Hotaru walked through the streets of Konoha unsure what to do with his life now. He knew he was a full fledged ninja but he wasn't sure what should come next. He figured he should go to the Hokage building to look for some guidance. He walked down the long hallway of the Hokage building until he reached the door to the Hokages office. He knocked twice before hearing the familiar Hokage's voice say "Enter" Hotaru turned the brass knob as he stepped into the office. "Ahhh Yes. Aburame Hotaru. Iruka just informed me about your exceptional performance to become a genin."

[1/7]

Hotaru nodded modestly. "So what can I do for you Hotaru?" Lady Tsunade said. Hotaru looked up from his black glasses as he said "Well I have come to request a mission. I figured I should start doing shinobi tasks immediately." Tsunade nodded as she began shuffling missions looking for one to suite him. "Well first time missions I always just give out D ranks, but I think I can make an exception. How would you like to take on a C rank mission? It won't be anything fancy like guarding a feudal lord or anything like that but at least its not a D rank."

[2/7]

Hotaru nodded and asked "What would be the details of this mission?" Tsunade continued as if she had not heard him although she was going to answer his question. "A few days ago we were supposed to receive a shipment of weapons. Kunai, shuriken, scrolls. Things like that. There was one box missing from the shipment after it passed through the forest. Your mission will be to venture inside and search for it. If you see that it will require assistance, you may report back and I will assign someone to accompany you. Any questions?"

[3/7]

Hotaru shook his head as he said "No" Tsunade then replied "Good. Now get going. I expect this mission be done in less than three days. Anymore and you will receive a pay deduction." Hotaru nodded silently and left the room. As soon as he reached the forest, Hotaru began expelling his destruction bugs. Soon all those capable of moving safely outside his body, gathered in front of Hotaru. He addressed the mass of bugs in their language as he said "All right....you are to spread out and sweep the forest for any signs of a crate."

[4/7]

"If you find one, search inside. Only report back to me once you've confirmed that inside the box are weapons. I expect this done before sundown. Carry out." With that, the cloud of bugs dispersed into the forest searching for the lost crate. Hotaru meanwhile searched on his own from the tree tops. After about two hours, three kikai returned to Hotaru buzzing their report in his ear. "I see..." he said to himself. He then whistled and after a few seconds, all the destruction bugs returned back to Hotaru. He then followed the ones that had found the crate.

[5/7]

They reached a clearing where a box had been broken open. It seemed a few children had stolen the crate and were playing with the weapons. As soon as they saw the giant cloud of bugs, they ran off frightened. Hotaru picked up the weapons and returned them to the crate, sealing it with the top. He picked up the crate and began returning to the village. He stepped into the office of the Hokage building dropping the crate in front of Tsunade's desk. "Mission complete Tsunade-sama" Tsunade inspected the crate carefully make sure it was the right one.

[6/7]

"Good work Hotaru. And done at such a quick pace. It only took you three hours considering I gave you three days to complete it. Congradulations on a job well done. Because of your quick mission time, you shall receive a pay bonus. See Shizune about your wage." Tsunade said as she began filling out more paperwork. Hotaru walked over to a desk on the west wall where Shizune was working "Congratulations Hotaru-kun. Here is your pay" she said as she handed him a stack of bills. Hotaru thanked Shizune and began walking back home.

[7/7] Insect Wall

David was now almost home as he stepped onto the docks and walked to the edge of them and then off. he quickly began to head for the Uchiha district as he knew he had to hurry a little to make sure that the Las Plagus inside of Soge would not form itself into a final body. David made his way to the house and looked at the walls as it appeared that the traps were already disabled for him, although he couldn't hear the elevator moving upward. apparently it was stuck at the bottom, well i guess loki is up...." he said as he opened the pin and hit a set of the circuts that would cause an override. it was time for David to go see Loki Uchiha. he would enter the closet containing the elevator and go into the lab he held the scroll with Soge's corpse inside in his left hand. he quickly grabbed his sword off of his back as he didn't know how the new creature would react to David arriving. when he found his way into the actual lab he was surprised to find that Loki had done nothing really. it appeared that he was pretty civilized, which made sense since his brain was in the organ compilation. "Loki Uchiha, how do you feel?" David asked as he looked at Loki who seemed to look strange and dead. his eyes seemed to be there still as they had regenerated along with the rest of his body. "what is it? what do you want?" he asked David as he turned to show that he had changed his form quite a bit while staying the same. "well then, you are now a Regenerator, you seem to have the ability to regenerate your self as you please." David said as he analyzed the new Loki Uchiha. he then looked at the corpse he had removed from the scroll as it was beginning its change. "i wonder what shall become of you?" he said in an evil tone.

Seeing no point in staring at the now destroyed spider web, Hotaru continued walking along the forest. He began thinking about what he had heard one of his bugs tell him after he sent it off to spy on Hotaru's uncles and fathers. They spoke of a rare but powerful bug that they had on lock down. It was known as the Mimic Parasite. Hotaru's uncles were pleading his father to reason with the Hokage to permit the use of these bugs once again. They had been banned for use soon after the Great Shinobi Wars. Apparently they were so powerful that they became forbidden.

[1/6]

Later than night, Hotaru did some research of his own while his family was asleep. He snuck into the classified family files of the Aburame clan. The drawer that contained all this information had been locked. Hotaru sent a tiny destruction bug inside the lock as he heard a click signaling that it had been opened. The Kikai crawled back inside Hotaru as he began rummaging through the files. These Mimic Parasites were indeed powerful. Once they found a host, they latched themselves onto it without them knowing. This is when the process would begin.

[2/6]

After no more than a few hours, the Mimic Parasite would dislodge itself from its host. From then on it carried all the genetic material of it host inside of its thorax. The Aburame clan was the first to discover the use of these insects and began research on how to use this beneficially. Their research was soon sought after by the Kamizuru clan of the Village Hidden in the stone. They always seemed to envy the Aburame clan for its great accomplishments. This was where the research got interesting. The Aburame clan found a use for such a bug.

[3/6]

During a test, the Mimic Parasite was attached to a Hyuuga. After a few hours, the parasite was detached from the Hyuuga and analyzed. The Aburame clan was astonished to find that the Mimic Parasite's eyes had gone completely black. Further analysis showed that the Hyuuga Kekkei Genkai was actually integrated into the bug's DNA. Afterwards that same bug was attached to a member of the Aburame clan. This wasn't the choice of the clan memeber but he was overpowered and forced to participate. The Hyuuga bug was then attached to this clan member.

[4/6]

After a few hours, the eyes of this clan member began to grow pale. Within a week, the eyes were completely blank as they turned into a fully functioning Byakugan. The tests also noted that the place where the bug had latched itself had a lump of skin and no signs of the Mimic Parasite. Further analysis showed the the lump of skin was actually the parasite. It had fused with its host giving all the traits and Kekkei Genkait of the Byakugan. Unfortunately, this test subject escaped killing a few clan member.

[5/6]

They had died from heavy trauma to their chakra circulatory network. The test subject was highly searched for, but never found. It was believed that he had passed away. The Mimic Parasites were eventually used in battle where they could be slipped onto their opponent where they would copy that enemies skills. The Third Hokage saw this as a sin against God and but a ban on the use of such insects. Since then they have been locked away in a vault at the deep underground layer of the Aburame clan where they were bred but never used.

[6/6]

The ersatz Aburame had left the house, returning once more to the lush and verdant surroundings that were the forests of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The trees were huge, many times bigger than the local fauna she knew from her first moments of existence. But here, they seemed to be a size that surprised no one, this size seemed to be the natural. With trees of such a size, they would have had to have been growing for many decades, possibly several hundred years. Unless of course a force was acting upon them, causing them to grow beyond what the faux-Aburame perceived as 'normal'. An interesting matter, but ultimately an irrelavant one as well. She'd been given a task, a task she would perform to the best of her abilities, both for the alleged cause, that of making her become a stronger kunoichi, and also for another, more secret cause. Her true cause, her purpose, her reason for continuing to exist. So she sharpened her senses, and altered her stance to move slower, more stealthily and quietly. By moving slower, she could adjust her own rhythms to those of the forest around her, and have a better chance at spotting anything which didn't match that rhythm. Whether it was a flying bird, a recently shattered boulder, or her target, a famed shinobi of her own supposed family. She had yet to hear much of the exploits of the future scion of the clan, or to even see them with her own eyes, but from the brief mentions she had already come across, she knew that this Shino was a very strong shinobi in his own right, and a master of the clan's unique collection of jutsus. That was likely why she was being sent to find him, to receive training firsthand from one of the clan's strongest. An efficient idea, although not without it's flaws. From what she'd gathered, she was not the only Aburame who preferred to be alone, save for the eternal presence of her miniscule companions. Going out of her way to find another, to spend time with them and train, seemed antithesis to much of the Aburame way. But it apparantly worked, for even foolish mammals would have stopped a faulty plan earlier than this if it hadn't worked. Therefore she would think no more of it, and assume it was as it appeared to be. She turned her attention outwards once more, and felt a sense of frustration that wasn't quite her own. An emotion from her creator, annoyance over the problem of overcoming the difficulties in tapping the energies of this land. In her home plane, it would be an easy feat to search for someone; to locate them in half an instant and move to them in the other half of that same instant. But here, cut off from those familiar energies, it was as if a huge portion of her skills and abilities were nullified, as if she had never possessed them. She'd dealt with the issue from the very moment she had arrived, and it had grated on her from the very beginning. For the moment, there was nothing she could do about it, however, so she stopped herself from thinking any more about it. Instead, she returned to the search for Shino. The forest seemed quiet when first listened to, but once one was accepted by the forest, the sounds began to emerge once more, having gone silent as the forest's population waited to see what the intruder's intentions were. When shown to be nonaggressive, the forest would welcome them, and they would soon be exposed to the peaceful sounds of the forest. Chirping birds, rustling underbrush, trickling streams and more. An entire natural orchestra, performing a different unique symphony every minute of every day, and none of it caused by human hands. Humans. Those poor, foolish mammals who dreamt they were sentient. Such a pity, they held such potential but they did nothing to truly reach out and grab it, even with their vaunted opposable thumbs. Held back by the various excuses they invariably came up with. Morals, ethics, religion, love. All different words for the same thing. Fear. They were afraid of the true power that they all possessed, they were afraid of what might happen. And those who were too afraid to wield their power didn't last long in the violent world they were birthed in. Not like her kind. They knew what they were capable of, and they embraced it. They didn't let fear rule them, they ruled their fear, they crushed it underfoot as they would an outside enemy. Yes, they were the perfect organism. But for now, she, and her kind, would have to deal with these humans on equal footing, until they had determined what needed to be done to regain their power. So she continued her search for Shino. No sounds seemed out of place in the forest's symphony, no sounds of a clumsy human meddling where they weren't wanted. That was odd. No human, no matter how skilled, could do that. Perhaps these Aburame were something different. Still human, but capable of understanding the delicate balance of nature, the tenuous point at which humans were perched, hovering between understanding and destruction. Was it possible, could there be even a single human who could be embraced by nature? She had to know. Even without the urging from her creator, she had to know. She sharpened her senses again, and began actively scanning the forest as she moved through it. Each small movement of leaves in the breeze, each chirp of a flying bird looking for a meal, she noticed. Her head was turning slowly, smoothly, arcing over the land as she tried to find Shino. As an Aburame, he was known to spend great lengths of time inside of the forest. So he would likely know the best and worst spots for having privacy, making her search a little more difficult than it otherwise might be. She'd likely have to spend a good deal of time out her before she even found him, let alone begin training.
(10/10: Basic Bug Summoning)

((if you let me have full chakra, then yes. i just finished a fight and im counting the night as a break.))
David turned to see someone following, "what do you want?" he asked stubbornly expecting a fight to come shortly. there would be only one thing to give away his clan currently, where he was at. he turned as he had his hands in his pockets making his new outfit look pretty nice. he had changed his clothes from the usual suit to a common ninja apparel, topped off with his sword hanging upon his back, and a small cloak that was drapped on his shoulders. "i guess you want a fight right?" david guessed as he looked at Hurdy. the two guards would turn around to face Hurdy. one of them looking up enough to move the hooded cloak away from his eyes. they would shine brightly as the sun hit them. a bright red shade that seemed to be offset by a few marks of black that were all connected at the pupil.
(18/??)

Hurdy stopped and smiled. He drew a kunai. "Yes my boy, I want a fight." Hurdy had been eliminating ninja longer than most have been around. These three would be no different. Since he was in Hidden Leaf, he had a great chance of encountering the two great eyes. The Uchia and the Hyuuga. Judging by the fact that they were in the uchia fighting grounds, he assumed the first. So, no eye contact.
