Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Mari's attack to Mura)

Masa perked up and looked to Hiro...course there wasn't much perking a head could do but he basically bounced around on Kage's hand and looked to the kid. He arched a brow, "What's his issue?"

Kage didn't turn, he was concentrating on the girls. He did respond however with, "This is Kirigakure, not Suna. Many people here probably haven't seen puppets before. At least not ones of your size and construction. It's a given that many will be surprised to see such a feat." Kage said it with a flatness that was atuned to his very nature.



Mura fell hard from the dual attacks. She didn't stand a chance now, not against these two girls. Kage didn't know her full attacks so he couldn't help her perform it and with this much damage to her body, she wouldn't be able to perform them well anyway. She slowly got up, a rickity sounding rattle comming from her chest area. She sighed and raised her hand, "Alright, alright I give..." she forefitted. There was no point in gaining more damage that Star would surely chew her out for. She hobbled back over to Kage and sat next to him.

Glancing down to her for a moment he disengaged the Chakra strings and took a deep breath. "You two are better than you know...BOY." he was calling to Hiro now, "Come here. I'll explain everything to you and these two girls...

Kage looked to the boy. His right eye glowed a deep red under the shades of pure darkness he wore. He soon held up the head toward Hiro, "For one of such pride, you sure jumped mighty high when this head flew and still spoke." he said in a not really joking way but a matter of fact way. Although Masa did laugh...even if he was just a head.

Kage sat there and soon manovered the scroll back in front of himself. He undid it and let it roll a little ways. It was at least 7 ft long, easilly even with him only uncurling about 25% of it. "This is a summoning scroll. To be more exact, a specially created one by the Rialto clan. The Rialto clan was a clan in Sunagakure. They specialized in puppets and puppet jutsu. This particular scroll houses the puppets of the clans only known surviver, Mirid Star. My lover."

On the scroll was an elaboratly drawn blueprint of what looked like a doll house or something. It was several stories high and consisted of several rooms. Kage began to roll it up. "These two are known as Masa Rialto and Mura Rialto. They are Star's cousins on her mother's side. As you can see, they no longer have bodies of flesh and blood like you do. Their bodies now consist of wood and steel and oil. As does mine. This is because we all died and Star sealed our souls within these bodies."

Mura had taken Masa's body and was playing with it and toying with it. She found it a fun passtime. Kage looked to them then back to the children in front of him, "They can't go back o the scroll till Star fixes them. Nothing bad will happen but it'd be incredibly hard to find Masa's body and head seperatly to summon them back. As for how we can move and talk on our own...we each have our own chakra..."

Tadashi looked around as he moved through the houses. Approaching where he had met the others earlier he didn't quiet spot them.

(edit: Mistake in rp. Really short post I know.)

Both the girls looked over when they heard Kage call out to someone. "Hey! It's you!" Sari said happily. "Thought you got all emotional and took off for good!" Looking back at Masa, Sari smiled. "My sister could whip your butt any day!" Mari felt embarrassed by Sari's words. And not the good embarrassed, more like 'I can't believe she just said that' embarrassed. Sari always did over estimate Mari's power. Right when Mari heard Masa's words, her face gained a bit of redness, "......" Her eyes drifted off to the side. Boys...disgusting... Sari gave a gross look to Masa before turning and laughing at Mura's words. "But, all boys are dirty! And disgusting and they smell bad! Though, it's good that you two are okay...er...okay as puppets can be in your state I guess..."

Tadashi approached them as Kage got his attention. As he approached it seemed that it was a bad time. Once again that one girl seemed to dislike guys and the other genin there was going way to into himself. He did look more formidable then anyone else he had seen so far though whatever he had just done with the explosive tag seemed pointless. Taking a hand out of his pocket his fist let his pointer and index finger stand up as he sort of waved, "Yo." A moment later both hands were back in Tadashi's pockets. "I couldn't find anyone in this village to give me a decent spar... So I am back."

Tadashi smiled and looked around at everyone. He had quite an impressive reputation in Konoha but definitely not the same here. "I am ready to fight whomever you assign me to fight," Tadashi said and bowed to Kage with his hands still resting in his pockets. Tadashi had no idea what kind of fighter the boy Hiro was but out of kindness and since Tadashi was the more experienced he would let him strike first. "By the way... I am Tadashi. No hard feelings after the fight if you approve." Getting ready Tadashi went through his options. It was true that he was more of a supporting role in a fight but he could definitely handle his own as shown in a past experience where he defeated another whole genin team and even distracted the jounin long enough for his other teammates to catch up though Tadashi till this day thinks he could have done it on his own.

[I could... though genjutsu sucks on puppets... I believe they are immune to them aren't they. Or at least most of them.]

"Don't worry. You will know your defeat... Or I shall incapacitate you. Don't think of my words as an insult either. I only mean to inspire confidence. Now strike when you are ready. I will wait for you," at the end of Tadashi's words he stood at ready in his defensive stance. He was ready for a fight and by the sound of it a rather challenging one... possibly... Tadashi would hold back though... It would be pointless to use such powerful moves and never have the chance to learn anything.
