Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mother cries..."Not necessarily. I just said to be wary, they are far stronger than they appear." Ronnel closed his eyes under his hat, still curious as to why those people seemed familiar.
And will the call come after this?

Interested in the one that Mello was talking to, Shigoro bent his chakra sensing towards the man, and was almost surprised when he felt the suppressed rage of the Ichibi. He'd faced... no. There were some things best to not even think of. Some beings could see secrets within one's head. Quietly, silently enough that Mello would hear but no-one else, not even someone listening, he said, "Tread carefully, Mello-sama. This one holds Shukaku."

----------------------------------

Namezan turned around and looked across the roof at the strange tanned man in the Kage box looking into the crowd. His ears had picked up what the man had said, and now the man was looking towards him. He 'saw' something... it was a patch of black in the swirling world of unearthly colors that Namezan lived in... and it was coming towards him. He dodged, but felt a sharp pain as needle-pointed teeth took a chunk from his left ear. For a split second the world was... changed, with different colorations, different shades, as if someone had shown him a glimpse of what the world looked like through his eyes instead of his ears.

--------------------------------------

"Missed... Attack him again, Tease. Aim for his ears, and make sure to cauterize the wounds."

------------------------------------

Namezan jumped out of the way of the moving silence, but he felt another sharp sting as he lost the entire outside of his left ear. The wound healed instantly for some reason, and after the initial bee sting sensation he felt no pain and saw no blood. What was strange, though, was the sight before his eyes.

Or eye, at least.

The right side of his vision was still swirling in the unearthly tones that he had lived in his entire life. But the left side was clear and still, with only the murmur of the crowd registering by ear and not by his eyes. For the first time in his life he was seeing what the world really looked like. And he saw what the darkness was.

------------------------------------

"Mello-sama, I have found someone who can apparently recognize me for who I really am. You know the conditions of my wearing the Mist ring. I will return when he is dead or until my Tease has ripped out his tongue. Come, Tease."

The strange butterfly re-entered Shigoro's hand as he stepped out onto thin air, taking care to let his 'pleasure' ignore light as well as air, so that he was effectively invisible. Of course, he still made noise, as if his feet were falling on solid marble, but that would only serve to increase the challenge.

Byakarun laughed, "They don't know who we are, it does not matter 'Mr.M' Plus I already know of all of these men and women." He pointed person to person, mouthing there ability, bloodlines and names. Byakarun smirked, "And yet they have not a clue about me, or my ability. Take a swig." Byakarun pored out two bottles of fine wine, he gently placed the bottle down and looked out, "No one here is a threat. They also wont be for some time. Plus if we were to tell them the truth they would not believe it." He picked up the gourd thrown at him earlier and lobbed it down, heading for the monkey's head. Byakuran looked over at Mello, "Near was just here, care to go for him? Or maybe Akatsuki." He was not being secretive at all, even if one were to hear him they would have no clue what they were talking about. He took a quick sip from his glass and leaned back, offering to to the Mist Guardian, he knew everything, including where he was..

Fenrir stopped and turned around, his ears catching something interesting. With a toothy grin he approached Ronnel and the others.

THere were enormous amounts of chakra, all different levels and types. He could feel the power roving in the stadium. Lust for power was in the room. He turned to find some members of his team. "Kaworu, good luck. Don't drop your guard for a second." He then mouthed to him, asking, "What level is your sharingan? Us Uchiha should split up amongst the team so as not to be unbalanced." He waited for a sign to split up into the individual areas to start the exam.

He kept quiet, and sat in a corner with his sharingan activated. He looked over in Ronnel's position trying to eavesdrop on his conversation with the mysterious hooded man. What enormous power you have... jinchuriki. I see you in there, you monster. His thoughts were silent and his intentions were of no threat... for now. He continued to stare impolitely, reading lips and eyeing chocolate.

(The only way I see your Jinchuriki, is sharingan. *Referring back to when Sasuke fought Naruto for the first time, Sasuke saw the beast as it started to emerge.*)

Rita ran in screaming. "Did I make it?!!!" She looked around noticing lots of ninjas here, mostly ones she had seen at the Chuunin Exam. 'I wonder if they'll recognize me in my new look. Maybe I should keep my dark chakra suppressed so no one will sense it.' She suppressed the Hachibi's chakra, seeing how others have recognized her from sensing the dark chakra.

Ayame woke up.She mustve fell asleep.Ikaru was still asleep but his ear twitched once in ahile.He mustve been listening to the surrounding noises.Oh how much she'd love to get out of this room.She continued to stroke his head and back.He would probably be thirsty when he awoke so she took out a bowl and put some of her water into it and set it beside him.She looked around.'Too many people in one place.'She thought.This place was full of Chuunin waiting to findout if they would become Jounin.She really hated being crammed in one room with so many people.She sighed.She'd just have to deal with it.
