Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ack, well we got the b*****d, you can get your reward and I my own," no one knew that the Uchiha had died as of yet and planned to keep it that way. It took him an hour to get some treatment for his wounds, with some specialized treatment back at home with a diluted solution of Hero Water his arms would be just fine, as beautiful as ever. Kozumi received his component from Momiji when he got back storing it on ice to keep it fresh. It was a rather greusome prize, but it'd make a nice present. "That's a good fire, we should be fine. Come on we have to go." Kozumi watched as the body burned down to ashes leaving not a single trace.

Momiji smiled with grim satisfaction, his attack would normally be nowhere near strong enough to handle a Uchiha, but due to his attacks lack of definite form it raised his chance of a strike. While Kozumi was off being treated for his wounds Momiji prepared the body just as they had agreed. Momij removed the man's head for bounty purposes, taking off the headband and drawing it through with a kunai and keeping it as his own for disguise purposes. The real Jinzo Uchiha had died, but a missing nin copy would soon walk the earth with a little more training back at home. The eyes were next, he wasn't exactly sure what he would do with these as of yet, but he would be damned if the eyes of one of the famous Uchiha didn't garner him some sort of profit. Lastly came his friend's prize the man's core, his heart, in all of it's gruesome glory he removed from the chest cavity. With all the necessary parts removed he carefully built a small pyre around the body and set it aflame, no one would know of this man's death, not now, not for a long while, he would leave no traces like a proper ninja should. Kozumi had returned and once he handed off the strange trophy to him, they were both prepared to leave.

"Are you serious?!" Matsuri asked forgetting her shy attitude for that few seconds. 'A medical jutsu... That can put them to sleep! I can't wait to show Drago and Ginsa!' Thinking this as she looked back over to Naruto who was now fully awake and oddly enough, was now standing in front of Lady Tsunade. "So how dose this work anyways?" She asked while looking back at the women with a childish grin appearing on her face.

"Well all you really need to do is send electrical energy threw out a person body." As she said this, she grabbed Naruto and pointed at the boys neck. "You need to try and hit them right there"

Matsuri nodded her head as she watched the medical ninja, making mental notes in her mind as she watched her. "What happens if you hit them lower, like the one of the spinal cords?"

"Well the energy would then flow up to the neck, taking longer for them to pass out. So they would feel more pain,.." She said while eyeing Naruto. " Now try the jutsu on him."

It had been a few weeks since the Chuunin Exams had finish running its course, Sango was rather surprised that she had managed to successfully negotiate the path in the beginning part to ensure that her pour performance in the second part of the exam did not prevent her from achieving the honor of being ranked up to Chuunin on the first attempt at the test. Sango still wonders in the back of her head just what exactly what was going to be in store the longer she continued to follow the path of a Shinobi. Sango knew that no matter what was going to be in store the one thing that was going to be constant was the fact that it was going to be an adventure that would be unlike anything that she had ever encountered before. The journey was going to be rewarding and tasking upon the young Uchiha’s body and soul. Sango was pleased with a number of things that had unfolded up to this point in time. However, Sango knows that now was not the time to be wasting since she needed to grow stronger and more powerful if she hoped to ever achieve the dream that she had as a child. The one thought that continued to be the dominating memory within the mind of the young Uchiha was the last thing that she had been apart of over the course of the Chuunin Exams. It was the award ceremony that titles, rewards, and ranks were given out to any or all of the Genin that managed to demonstrate their knowledge and ability while following the path of a Shinobi of their village. Sango can not seem to shake the memory of the crowd that was standing and cheering at an almost deafen intensity for each of the called names of the Genin to be honored. It was while the names were being called out and the awardees were making their way up to the stage, but it was at the point in time that Sango’s name was called out that she seemed a little awkwardness fell over the crowd. It was as the announcement of the name of the young Uchiha’s name that a momentary silences that fell over the crowd. However, Sango did not let the awkwardness of the moment even phase her as she rose from her seat and headed towards the stage to be honored. The announcer told the crowd that it was this young and seemingly in experienced Genin that had manage to take down the much more powerful Sin that a roar erupted from the crowd that if one would have not known any better. Sango knew that the crowd seemed to be playing for the emotion in order to please her slightly in hopes of easing the edge and tension that filled the arena. Sango made it to the stage and was rewarded with a new weapon and a title. Both of which actually did not mean very much to Sango since it did not matter in the picture of where she planned to be heading. It was as she was given the vest and new headband that Sango’s facial expression would perk up slightly to allow a quick glance into the soul of the young Uchiha and the joy that she felt be being able to match her older brother’s shadow that was casted upon her childhood ever so slightly. It was after the awarding of the reward, title, and rank that Sango would make her way off the stage and back to her seat and observe and cheer on the rest of the awardees. Sango waited until the ceremony completed before she the got up from the seat and made her way out of the arena and heading out upon a journey of training. Sango would spend a number of the time just wondering aimlessly from place to place for a while before she would finial head back to the Village Hidden among the Leaves. Sango was not really sure where to do first as she head back in the village, she was torn between heading to the shops and getting something to eat or maybe heading towards a Dojo in order to start her training. Sango just strolled along the street for a while.

As Sango continue to stroll along the streets of the Village Hidden among the Leaves while at the same time continuing to struggle with the choice that she was facing within the depths of her mind. It was not until the sight of her friend sitting on a beach up head that caught her attention that she would actually come out of her mind and back into the world of the present while noticing the friendly wave as her friend rose from the bench and attempted to get her attention. Sango would listen as Ryu called at her to get her attention while rushing along the street to close the gap quicker. Sango would quickly respond to Ryu with, “Ryu… Ryu Genkotsu.” Sango would slightly pick up her pace to close the gap between the pair a little quicker. As Sango and Ryu meet, the voice of Ryu, which was filled with the child like enthusiasm, began to reach her ears. Sango would take a breath and quickly reply to the questions, “It as been longer than expected. Things have been moving along rather smoothly for me.” Sango would pause and take a breath before replying to the statements of congratulations from Ryu. Sango began to exhale the breath that filled her lungs before she would then speak, “Thank you. Congratulations are also in order for you as well my friend. Successfully completing the Chuunin exams and earning a rather cool title of your own, Swordsman of the Broken Blade.” Sango would allow a friendly smile to quickly fill her face from ear to eat and remain there for a second before she would move on to her next statement. Sango would then speak up and say, “Has the time that passed been treating you as well as it treated me, Ryu?”

Ginsa arrived at the village and then passed through the gates. He had been reading the record scrolls from the Ghost Elites and had read the name Sage Klamachpin, leader of one of her own groups when she was in the Elites... Maybe she was willing to join the Cool since the Elites were dead now? Upon looking around, Ginsa came across Sango and Ryu and wondered if eithe rof them knew who and where Sage was. "Pardon but would either of your two know where Sage Klamachpin, better known as the Raikage, is? I would like an audience with her."

"I'd try it but I've heard rumors that their kage had indeed left the village for some training and I was hoping that either of you two had possibly seen her around these parts," said Ginsa towards Ryu. He then turned his head towards Sango with a still emotionless face and said, "Have you seen her? I have important information to tell her." Ginsa heard a bird fly off into the distance but he didn't seem to flinch. His index finger was gathering blood at the tip of it just in case the two ninja were hostile and would attack him if they think he heft his guard down.

((I'll get Ginsa there when I get the chance... First, I want to get Ginsa to speak with Sage's main character, Sage, for an important discussion.))

(( Sorry that it took so long... ))

Sango was happy to hear that the time that has passed since the end of the Chuunin Exams was good to Ryu more or less. Sango was actually impressed slightly upon hearing that Ryu had managed to prefect his techniques as well as learn a even more powerful Taijutsu technique that was forbidden due to the straight that it places upon the body of the ninja that performs the technique. Sango would speak up and say, “I would venture to say that the time been really beneficial to you, Ryu.” Sango allowed a quick smile to fill her face as she watched while Ryu would draw his prize from the Chuunin Exams. Sango listened as Ryu seemed to be slightly disappointed at the fact that she was not able to use the blade to its full potential due to the fact that he had not been cursed with a seal upon his body. Sango followed Ryu as he began heading off towards the direction of a Bar Bar-Q restaurant. As the words of Ryu filled the ears of Sango while asking her if she wished to join him in a meal, it was as if Ryu might have been reading Sango’s mind since she was starving and was eager to put an end to the starvation as soon as she was able. Sango would then say, “A friendly sparring match would be a good test.” It was while Sango and Ryu were heading towards the restaurant that Sango would spot another ninja coming towards them and asking if they would be able to help him locate the Raikage. Ryu would quickly answer the question as best as he was able before directing the genin’s attention towards Sango. Sango would look upon the emotionless face of the Genin as she would only slightly tilt her head towards her left shoulder as Ginsa’s attention was called forth towards another direction and his index finger rose up. Sango would pause only a second before speaking up to say, “I have been rather well occupied with other matters that I have not head anything about the location of the Raikage. I actually have only heard that name mentioned only a few times within my presence. However each and every one of those times was during the time that I was but an academy student.” Sango was not worried if the Genin was giving him the undivided attention or not. Sango knew that she was not going be much help to him in the search for someone that she had never meet before. Sango however had heard a story upon one of her training adventures about a Genin that had managed to best one of the most well known and powerful Kages in a fight. Sango did not get much of a description of the Genin from the stories that she overheard, but she choose not to underestimate another ninja that happens to cross her path no matter the rank upon which they carry from their village.

Ryu Genkotsu:

Ryu watched as the ninja walked away and slowly withdrew his limited chakra from the gates there was an audible stir in the air around him as he resecured the gates quickly. "There was something about him that seems odd to me..." Ryu said in a serious tone that was odd for him. "Well, Anyway lets head to the BBQ place I'll pay its been a long time since I've had something so good to eat and then I'll be fully rested and fed so I can have a good fight with you." Ryu's tone quickly turned back to the cheerful kid tone that it so often was and He was Ready for just about whatever may come his way though the previous gennin had seemed slightly out of place.
