Welcome to Gaia! ::

......Raiken felt disappointed at not being able to hit the target on this first try, but his instructor told him that it was good enough that he was able to mange to summon forth the amount of chakra to do the amount of damage that he had done and pointed for Raiken to look up at the mark he had left. Raiken followed his instructor’s finger and saw that there was a massive scorch mark that was now sizzling out smoke a few feet away from the dummies. The grass had been completely demolished and scorched as well as all of the terrain where the blast had made contact with the ground.The dummy that Raiken had intended on hitRaikeng was still perfectly unscathed by the attack and it seemed to mock him or so Raiken thought when he looked at it. It looked at him with its blank face and Raiken wanted to try again, but his instructor held out a restraining hand and said, “That is enough for now Raiken. I think that you did well for now since it does take a lot to completely try and focus chakra into lightning and then quickly using it in an attack as you had tried to perform. I think you should rest before you attempt it again since that would be best for your body to recuperate.”Raiken nodded in agreement and decided that he should rest up before attempting to try the Lightning Bolt technique again since his arm was now in slightly paralysis from the raw electricity that had been flowing in his palms earlier. Raiken sat down on the ground and stared up into the sky and watched the clouds roll along the sky in a lazy fashion. He wished that he could just float around like them, but for now that dream was no where near achievable since he had to train for all upcoming exams that would test his abilities. He also did not want to fail his clan because there was a lot expected of him.Raiken sighed a small sigh and closed his eyes. He began to drift off into slumber as he let the breeze of the hit his face, cooling him off with its soft touch against his face. Images began to play in Raiken’s mind as he began to recall past events that had occurred in his time during the academy. “Keep up the good work!” His instructor shouted as Raiken tried to dodge the attacks, but in the end landed on his butt. His instructor offered his hand out to help Raiken up and he took it while getting off and dusting himself off. Raiken was embarrassed, but his instructor merely chuckled.Raiken woke up and realized that it was noon already and that he needed to begin his practices again. He looked up at the sky and saw that there were now new cloud formations in the sky and that he was wasRaikeng time doing nothing when he could instead be practicing the Lightning Bolt technique that he was still a little shaky on using. Raiken got up from the ground and stretched a bit before getRaikeng ready to attempt a second try and using the Lightning Bolt technique. His instructor was nearby and said, “So you are finally awake. Glad to have you back sleepy head.”Raiken nodded and began to raise his right hand up and facing outward toward the dummied in the training grounds. As he lifted up his right hand, he concentrated on focusing and gathering his chakra into the palm of his hand. By the time that the hand had been fully raised to shoulder height, there was chakra that was already formed in his palm and ready for use. Raiken then quickly began to convert the chakra into pure lightning and soon there were once again sparks began to fly out of his hand from the raw power of the electricity that was pulsating out of his right palm as he tried to aim.The arm became shaky as he tried to aim it at the dummy, so he once again had to take his left hand and steady his right arm to make sure that this time the attack would stay on course. Raiken steadied his arm and re-aimed his attack at the dummy that was five meters away from him and waited for the power of the attack to drop just a little since the first time he had tried to attack using Lightning Bolt; it was too much and sent a recoil that knocked him back the first time, so Raiken made sure that the blast this time around was not too strong unless he was wrong and his calculations were off.As soon as Raiken felt that the power of the lightning infused chakra was at only twenty-five percent, he pushed with all of his might to release the blast out of his palm and out at the dummy. The spark of lightning quickly left his hand in a blaze as it dashed out at the dummy with extreme accuracy compared to when he tried it the first time. Raiken then saw that the lightning stretched out and forked in two and wrapped itself around the dummy before shocking the dummy and leaving scorch marks. There was a small shock and recoil that pushed Raiken’s body back a few feet.As Raiken slid to a halt he heard clapping. His instructor was applauding him for his magnificent display of the technique. “Well done Raiken. Now that you have some mastery over the Lightning Bold technique it is once again time for you to move onto the next part which to learn another technique from me. This technique is called the Lightning Ball technique. It will allow you to focus your chakra into your hands and throw balls mad of pure lightning at your opponent. Now I am going to show you how it works. First of all you will need to concentrate and focus your chakra.Then you will concentrate your chakra into a dense, compact ball of lightning and then use the same method of firing off a Lightning Bolt when releasing your attack. Now watch.” His instructor said as he then began to demonstrate how the technique would work in proper use. Raiken watched as his instructor concentrated his chakra into the palm of his hand and then with a snap of his fingers he instantly formed a ball of lightning that glowed brightly and then turned from Raiken to the practice dummies and fired his attack. The attack shot out at the dummies, leaving a trail of electricity.The ball of lightning made contact with the dummy and exploded in a show of power that knocked the other dummies back and forth as the ground that they stood on shook slightly. Raiken’s eyes widened at the destructive capabilities of the technique and then saw his instructor smile and said, “I’m still a little bit rusty, but that is the main gist of the technique and how it works. It is basically a mini-bomb that is waiting to happen when it makes contact with anything that it comes into contact with including the one that cast it.” His instructor said as he turned his attention to Raiken.“Okay, now I want you to try this. It will be more powerful than the last technique, Lightning Bolt, since it takes more time to gather the power needed, but believe me the results are much more favorable if you use it correctly. Also that last little trick with a snap of the fingers is something that you can play with to try and cause a spark that will ignite the start of the technique.” With that said his instructor then sat down and waited for Raiken to conRaikenue his training. Raiken waited a few moments before attempRaikeng the technique because he was rather nervous and shaking a little.Raiken had finally cooled himself down and calmed himself as well to ensure that he would not screw up this technique like he when he had tried the first attempt with Lightning Bolt. He breathed in a few long deep breaths before he began to concentrate on channeling his chakra into the palm of his hand. At first Raiken was unsure whether or not he would be able to do it, but after several quick seconds he could feel the chakra move along his chakra network from the center of his body out toward his right arm. As he applied more focus the chakra rushed to his arm.Soon there was more than enough chakra for him to use the technique repeatedly and so Raiken stopped concentratinng his chakra network to pump more chakra into his right arm and began to focus on creating lightning out of the gathered chakra. Raiken closed his eyes and molded the gathered chakra into a ball of electricity. The ball of chakra slowly formed at first, but within a few seconds it became a fully spherical orb that was slightly hovering in his palm. Raiken then focused by further imagining a spark appearing within the orb that was hovering in his hand. He hoped that the spark would not explode.Raiken felt a small tinge of a spark that came from his concentrated and slightly winced with his eyes closed and then slowly opened them to see that there was a ball of lightning that was hovering in midair that had electricity flowing out of it. It sizzled and made noises as it continued to hover in his hand. Raiken then began to test the durability of the ball as well as how much of it he could control. At first when he tried to use the ball by making it hover higher into the air, he could only manage to make it float a few inches before returning into the palm of his hand once again.Raiken was having fun with the technique, but he knew that it was still a bomb nonetheless and he needed to use it for its main purpose which was the destructive use against a target of his choice. Raiken then faced a dummy and held the ball of lightning high into the air as he aimed with his right arm while steadying the ball of lightning in his palm. Once he was sure that he had a good measure of how much force he needed to apply to the ball to strike out at the dummy he swung his arm down and pushed with a small amount of chakra to get the ball of lightning out at the dummy.The lightning ball shot out at the dummy with the force equal to the amount of chakra that Raiken had used and it seemed that the ball of lightning was on course since the attack had not veered off course yet and it seemed that there was little sign of it doing so. The ball of lightning continued and then made contact with the dummy. The dummy’s right arm was instantly blown apart by the amount of power that had been packed into the ball of lightning. Raiken had not accounted the amount of power in his own attack, but had hoped that it was not as destructive as he had thought it would be.Raiken sighed a sigh of relief when he saw that only the right arm of the dummy had been ripped off in the explosion and not the whole dummy. It seemed that he still had a little more training to do if he wanted to be able to fully control the amount of power and where the attack would hit since he had intended for the attack to hit the in the center of the dummy, where it’s chest was, but instead it slightly veered off course and had ripped off the right arm. Raiken was a little disappointed, but still felt overjoyed that he had done well on his first try and began to form a second follow up to his first attack.He began by gathering up his chakra once again, but this time focused on gathering them to the tips of his fingers instead for he wanted to see if he could achieve the same kind of mastery that his instructor had demonstrated when he snapped his finger and instantly formed the ball of lightning within a split second of the snap of the fingers. Raiken then made sure that there was enough chakra in his fingertips before he continued with his practice. He then focused and concentrated on the chakra in his hand and made it slightly charged by infusing some electricity into the fingertips.Then when Raiken thought that he was ready he quickly closed his eyes, but remembered that he needed them to be open to make sure that he did not screw up and explode himself so he opened them back up. Raiken then steadied his own right arm by holding it with his left hand since it seemed that he was a little nervous and it was causing him to shake rather violently that his arm was out of control and the sparks from his own static electricity were beginning to zap him since he was not focusing on concentraRaikeng it to stay in one spot and it was rather difficult for him since he was nerve-racked.Once Raiken had calmed himself down he tried to refocus his concentration on making the sparks of electricity barely appear on the tips of his fingers. When he had achieved this, there were small flickers of electricity that was flowing through his fingertips in addition to the chakra that was already gathered there as well. Raiken then breathed in one last time and then breathed out to calm himself down before attempting the task at hand. Raiken rubbed his fingers together and saw small sparks fly out and then with more vigor and courage he unleashed the snap with his thumb and middle finger.There was a large spark that erupted out of the palm of his hand followed by bright light that caused Raiken to shield his eyes from the brightness with his left hand as he let go of his right arm. There was a faint glow and a zapping noise could be heard as Raiken removed his left arm away from his face and looked down at his right hand. In his right hand was a hovering ball of electricity that was giving off sparks. Raiken was thrilled at having been able to actually achieve close to the same level of mastery that his instructor had showed him. He then took the hovering ball of electricity and raised it.It was high in the air and then he tried to mentally tap it in the direction of the dummy that had been used on his first attempt with its right arm still missing. The ball flew out at a relatively fast speed and rate, racing toward the dummy. The attack hit this time and it made full contact with the dummy at its chest and caused an explosion. The force of the explosion knocked the other dummies down and then they sprang back up within a few seconds. The explosion caused a cloud of dust to rise up and cover the entire field of view and when the dust settled down, Raiken saw the aftermath of his attack.There was barely anything left of the dummy. All that was left was the pole that had been used to keep it standing up as well as prop it up. The other dummies were still standing, but now at an odd angle since the shockwave that had followed the attack had bend the poles that held the dummies up. His instructor got up and went over to him and said, “Good. Well it’s about time for me to move onto the next technique that way you can get on with the rest of your training. There are only three more techniques to learn from me and then you will have completed my training.We will now move onto the next technique which is called Lightning Strike. It is one of the most advantageous techniques that will aid you in combat against multiple foes since it deals with lightning as well as dealing damage to foes from a distance. In this technique you will gather up lightning chakra into your hand and then release it into clouds above you and summon forth the might to call down lightning to strike your target. This is one of the few techniques of the Sinobi Clan that can possibly aid you the most next to the last few that I can teach you as my student unless you are part of my clan.If you were a member of the Sinobi Clan then I could possibly teach you much more, but since you are of the Miyanari Clan, only your father can teach you much more than I or your other instructor from the Dattoumaru Clan. There are always clan specific techniques that I cannot teach you and this happens to be one of the few rare cases that I can and also one of the most destructive and hard to master ones as well. For now we will work on summoning forth the lightning required to even create the clouds to change to your whim before we move onto attacking with lightning.Raiken, first of all you need to gather your chakra into the palm of your hand. It does not matter how much, but for now you may use as much as you want, but I caution you to not overexert yourself since it is a rigorous act to summon lightning through this method. You will notice that when summoning lightning this way that the sparks will trail away from you and into the sky. This is normal and is the start of the technique. For now I want you to practice summoning the amount of chakra to create sparks that will trail only a small distance from your body, but not enough to reach the sky.”His instructor then began to demonstrate how the technique would work by showing Raiken the technique first hand. “First gather lightning chakra into your hand. Then raise your hand high into the sky poinRaikeng upward.” He then lowered his right hand and concentrated on gathering chakra into his right palm. Once there was a good amount of chakra in his hands, he lifted up his right palm while extending out his index and middle fingers while tucking the other fingers underneath his thumb. As he did this there was a small spark of electricity that shot out.As the spark of electricity shot out of the fingers and soared high into the sky, it was absorbed into the clouds above. There was a change in the clouds as they quickly began to become more dense and dark with sparks of lightning jumping out occasionally. His instructor then continued to feed more electricity into the clouds that were getting darker by the moment with more electricity being added. When the clouds were ready and charged up full of electricity, his instructor then swung his fingers down and pointed at a dummy. As soon as he did that a spark shot out from the clouds.The spark of lightning shot down at the dummy and instantly incinerated it with lightning. The dummy was still smoldering when the attack was finished as his instructor turned back to his student and said, “That is the basics of how the technique will work if you can properly use it. For now I want you to try and concentrate on just gathering the right amount of chakra and then converRaikeng it into lightning to create the sparks necessary to initiate the technique. Once you have those basics down we can move onto the actual summoning and usage of the technique to strike down an enemy.So just practice and I will tell you when you have progressed far enough.” His instructor said as he then quickly left Raiken to his solo training. Raiken looked up at the sky and saw that it was getRaikeng late, but he would need to learn this technique for it would be beneficial to him in the long run should he have to be forced to use a technique such as this. The clouds that had been charged full of lightning only moments before were now changing back to their normal state and had the white fluffy look of clouds that held no signs of change in the weather or bad omens.Raiken slowly took his hand and then began to concentrate on focusing his chakra into the palm of his hand. As the chakra formed it grew slightly brighter than normal and soon it was full of electrical sparks that it began to radiate as a source of light as the sky began to turn darker as the day progressed. Once Raiken had the chakra summoned in the palm of his hand he then began to take it and raise his palm higher and higher into the sky and then pointed up with his index and middle fingers while his other fingers were tucked underneath his thumb as he pointed up into the sky.As his fingers shot up into the sky there were small sparks that tried to shoot out, but it seemed that he had only gathered enough to cause small sparks to appear and shoot out in an attempt to reach the clouds high above him. Darn.. Raiken thought as he then tried it again. He focused his chakra into the palm of his hand and this time gathered more of it and in a larger quantity than last time. This time there was more than enough chakra since it seemed that it was trying to not overflow over the edge of his cupped palm that was trying its best to hold all of the chakra he possibly could.The chakra was overflowing from his palm as it started to leak out excessive amounts that dripped in a liquid-like state, but overall was more or less like that of a fiery flame in his palm. Raiken then tucked his fingers in and then tried to once again fire a shot of electricity high into the air in hopes that it would make it into the clouds above him and charge them, changing them from regular clouds into weapons that he could use at his disposal. The sparks of lightning continued to go up higher and higher into the sky, but it seemed that at the last minute that it was too short to make it.Raiken watched as the sparks faded away in his failed attempt to try and get the technique to work properly and then his instructor said, “I told you to wait until I told you that you were ready to try and make use of the gathered lightning infused chakra, but it seems that you were hasty and not ready yet. You have only just mastered how to gather the lightning chakra, but are still far from learning how to properly use it. Now I will tell you that you must imagine that the chakra is traveling up the air currents and through their use will the lightning push itself high enough.Once you can imagine the chakra flying upward out of your palm and into the clouds, it is all about chakra manipulation from there.” His instructor said as he then watched Raiken try once again. Raiken looked down at his own hand and saw that it was charred a little since it seemed that the excessive use of gathering lightning infused chakra caused burn marks to appear on his skin. He then continued through with his training and ignored the burn marks on his palm and began to gather chakra once again into the palm of his hand. Raiken made sure that this time he would be able to launch the technique properly.As the chakra flowed into his palm, he could see it crackle in his palm leaving trails of sparks that quickly dissipated as they trailed away from his hand. Raiken then tried once again to try and summon the chakra needed to use the Lightning Strike technique properly. Once Raiken was sure that he had enough chakra he tucked in his fingers underneath his thumb while extending out his index and middle finger pointed up into the sky. The sparks shot out of his fingers as he pushed it out and closed his eyes while imagining that the sparks would reach the clouds.The sparks of electricity flew out of Raiken’s hands and high into the sky as the clouds began to gather closer to the sparks. The sparks only had a few more meters till there was no gap between them and the clouds, but seemed to slow down as they got closer. Raiken began to fee discouraged, but then remembered that he needed to push it up further since he had become slightly efficient in manipulating electricity under his instructor. Raiken shot out his hand with is palm faced upward and them closed his eyes again as he then focused on bringing the spark of electricity to make contact with the clouds.The sparks had a sudden boost in power and speed as they shot up into the sky, meeting up with the clouds. The clouds began to grow darker as the electricity flowed around in it and soon the clouds began to storm with thunder as the clouds charged up for an attack. Raiken was a little relieved that his attempt had finally made progress and now he closed his eyes and then tried to concentrate on using the lightning that was being charged up in the clouds. He was worried that even though his initiation of the technique had gone well that he would not be able to follow through with the attack.Raiken saw that the lightning that was being charged up was racing around in the clouds, trying to escape it down to the ground as the clouds began to rumble with the sound of oncoming rain or storm. Raiken then pointed his right hand up. As he did this the lightning grew even fiercer in the clouds as it raced around at an even faster pace with more force and speed. Raiken then swung his arm down and it pointed down to one of the dummies that was still in tact. The lightning shot out of the darkened clouds and made a mad dash for the dummy as it sparked and blazed brightly.The lightning slammed down upon the dummy with such force that it shook the ground and everything around the dummy within a twenty foot radius. The ground continued to still shake several minutes after the attack had died down, leaving only small bits and pieces of the dummy. It seemed that the technique was more destructive than Raiken had originally intended for it to be on his first successful attempt at launching a strike of lightning. Raiken the looked over at his instructor and saw that there was a small smile on his face, but then he quickly changed it into one that had a more serious look.“That was wonderful and not to shabby. Now we will take on a more or less supportive techniques that will help you in situations. This next one is called Flickering Light since it will allow you to make your skin light up with a glowing aura. It is highly effective if you are a higher ranked shinobi like that of Chuunin or Jounin, but for now it will only enable you to learn the ability to channel quantities of electricity within your body to the surface of your skin to glow brightly. At Chuunin level you are able to cause the glowing light to flicker and then at Jounin cause blindness.At your current level you would only be able to maybe use it for the advantage at seeing at night, but it would also put you in danger since you would also be giving your advantage away and strategic position is key when in fights that test one’s sense of instinct. Now what you will first attempt to do is to channel your chakra in your body toward the epithelial tissues of your skin and fuse them with those cells. Once you have completed that you can fully master the technique at any pace since at the molecular level you will reign supreme over the physical and chemical aspects of your body.”“First you will try to channel your chakra from your chakra network and move it to the epithelial cells within your skin. Once it is there, slowly fuse the chakra into the cell’s permeable membrane and then you will have a sensation at the molecular level like that of small electrical shocks. You will burn your skin and cause internal bleeding if you take in too much chakra that is in the form of lightning or static electricity since it takes patience and time to use this technique properly since one small mistake will be felt at the higher tertiary level and it will sting.Now I will show you how this technique will work and then after that you will have to try and grasp the concept on your own since it is rather hard to try and explain it all to someone since it all occurs within the cells of the skin and it is at a very small level that is almost next to barely noticeable unless you can feel or sense the slight electrical change.” He said as he then made a hand sign and instantly his instructor began to glow a low dim glow as he radiated his light in the open backroom. He then concentrated more and soon his body glowed even brighter.} Raikn then awoke and leaped down into the pool of water created by the waterfall. As he came up for air he said,"Tha'st enough of that. I might catch a cold." He then gathered his thing and headed back towards the village.

9360+2500(wedding)=11860- turning in

On the way back towards the village, an owl flew overhead in broad daylight. "That's odd,"thought Raiken. The owl peered at Raiken to show it was wearing an ANBU mask. Raiken observed closer to see it was holding a mission scroll; the bird then dropped it. Raiken held out his hands as it fell into them. He then unrolled it and began to read...

Location- Mist
Target(s)- Lao Shun and Kida Ryo of the Hidden Snow
Mission Breifing- These two bandits are X-nin that have committed murdorus crimes and extreme theft throughout the lands. Your objective is to find these men and bring them back dead or alive to the hidden cloud village.
CAUTION- Be cautious because they tend to travel with two other men, they might prove a nuisance when trying to deliver the bodies back.
Assist- Ayami Uchiha

Raiken then grinned and headed for the docks. "She is still here. I will wait for her." Raiken thought, then he screamed,"AYAMI!"

Hearing Ayami's voice in the distance caught Raiken's attention; and soon she was right nex to him asking a question. "Yes, I also received the mission. If you are ready then we may depart,"Raiken said as he waited for Ayami to to reply. Raiken had left his twin swords in his apartment in the hidden cloud, but he was still ready for this mission.

Raiken headed for the boat as Ayami geared up."I just have info on their looks as of now." He said as he pulled out a picture of the target ninja.


"This picture was taken in the mist village, apparently they are acting as members there." Raiken told Ayami. He then boarded the boat and leaned on the rail looking at the docks.

Raiken looked down into the water as the boat took off. He was thinking deeply on this situation. "Nope, I've got nothing on those two. Except...they are members of the Kon clan. So they can merge bodies with objects, including us." Raiken said to Ayami and then he began to think of her plan,"Wait, since they are bandits, they won't tend to remain in one place for a long period of time. And with them being X-Ninja they must be pretty intelligent. I think we should go to the Mist instead, and take the chance while we have it." Raiken's expression was very pensive at the moment because he was thinking of a way to complete this mission.

Hyuuga Devoker was laying down on the small wood boat as the rower slowly rowed through the water. Devoker sat up and looked forward and saw that he was almost there. He decided not to say anything because the man was going very slow and it didn't look like he was having a good day. Hyuuga Devoker waited patiently until he arrived to the coast of Konoha.

"Finally. Here's your money."

Hyuuga Devoker then dropped some money into the man's hand and then he quickly jumped off the boat and began walking slowly deeper into the depths of Konoha. Hyuuga Devoker walked up the side of the house and he sat on the edge of the roof. He looked down at the few people that walked down the alleyways.

"Look at them. They are so worthless."

Hyuuga Devoker continued looking down at them and watched as most of them were in groups of two. He looked at the couples that were right next to each and cuddling as they walked and then came a woman who was walking by herself looking around nervously. Hyuuga Devoker then looked up at the sky as he layed his back down on the had wooden house.

"It's always blue. No matter in the dark, or when the sun is shining its brightest. It's just a different shade of blue, just as people have different shades of how they act. But they are just the same."

Hyuuga Devoker then closed his eyes as his vision was a light pitch of black as the sunlight was still getting through his eyelids. He closed them tighter trying to block them out and it had no effect except making his eyes irritated. He then opened his eyes back up failing to block out the light with darkness.

"There is always light in the darkest of nights. There is always light when moon does not shine bright. There is always light, no need for a fight."

Hyuuga Devoker then stopped creating the poem that he had made up on the spot. He then yawned a little bit as he had not gone to sleep in such a long time. He had just came from a wedding that he wasn't even paying attention to and he wondered if anything happened at since those people that were hunting Drago had been there. If anything had happened, he knew that Drago would not have fallen as he was to strong. He was to overpowered and he was greedy for power which is why the only entrance into his squad was to beat someone in his squad.

Hido noticed Ayami walking through the gates of hidden leaf and grinned. He took two steps forward body flickering towards her and causing a small solid block of shadow to appear under his feet. He used this block to jump, flying towards Ayami and catching her in a tackle hug type thing. "Hello there Ayami, how are you today." He asked smiling.


Words: 742

Hido stepped back a bit and rubbed the side of his head. "Oh I'm sorry." He said kind of embarrassed that he had hurt her. "Yeah I kinda of took off and found this." He said pulling a large weapon from his back. It looked to be a large sword wrapped entirely in a strange white chakra imbued cloth. He placed it back on his back making sure it was clasped on tightly. "Other than that ive just been training, learned some new jutsu, got another set of arms, all that fun stuff. Are you okay from your mission?" He asked concerned.
