Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( rofl I took so long to post cause I just *had* to watch Lanzer bs about selling Gaia to crazy radioactive 'nature' freaks... and then the item we got I just had to laugh at for a couple good minutes too.))

Kazuma's focus returned to his book as he read on about the various things about puppetry, one of which was the different types of puppet you could make. It appeared that there were four basic types of puppets. There was one that was recommended for beginner Puppeteers. It focused highly on it's own ability to move and attack from a range. It has so many small complex parts, but it was a basic. So Kazuma would probably make it, though to increase potency during battle, how would he do this. It had to be a poison deadly enough to kill. Kirigakure had several of those types of poisons, though he wouldn't mess with them until he was certain he could at least rid himself of it in case he accidently got some of the poison in him. So he would use something light and controlable. And he would need someone in his team that could tell him what kind of poison to use. He would probably ask Nadiya this by taking her to the side and asking where he could get such a lethal poison without actually having to go to far, or pay too much. It wasn't that he couldn't get the poison himself, he just didn't want to have to deal with the consequences of if he messed up. He would much rather buy it straight from the source.

((Why do you hate me so dice? Why?))

Kazuma's focus stood off the book as he thought of how to make the puppet. He had to make it large enough to be a threat, but small enough so he could carry it. How would he make the puppet, though. He had height and due to his lack of physical strength, the only thing he could think of is making it out of wood. So now he had a size, and the type of material to make it out of. Now just for everything else. He would try to make it as human as possible to make it easy to disguise it as himself. Though how he would do such a thing was the problem. He would have to be a master of disguise with the way some people are with noticing the slightest flaw. And if there existed a jutsu to allow him to transform his puppet, he would love to know about it. But if there didn't exist such a jutsu, he would have to go about learning some about disguises so he could fool people into thinking it was him, to allow him to remain hidden, but yet have a way to be out in the open on certain missions. It would be a valueable ability to do, seeing how some missions were a bit more dangerous then others. and if he were to become well known in the wrong way he didn't want to end up dead due to an assassination.

Kazuma, though he wanted to keep reading, lost his focus on reading and start to yet again think of poisons to utilize in combination of the several weapons he could put on his puppets. Though he didn't want something as simple as a sword hidden on it. He wanted to make it more interesting then that. He would probably allow the type of poison he would use with it to decide exactly what he would make the weapon of the puppets be. It was a good plan, but a bit expected. He would probably make several spikes on them, or make mechanisms to replicate the poison he's using would normal come into human contact. He thought poisons were underhanded though, but they were still effective ways of getting unpleasant things done and over with quickly. So Kazuma would use them until he got good enough where he wouldn't need to use such a method anymore. But he would probably still use it on the exremely dangrous missions that required him to kill. His puppets though he would use more as a way to keep himself out of a fight, or wear out his opponent and keep himself fresh for any battles. He wasn't as bright as most would expect him to be with how much he reads, but he still had heavy thoughts every so often.

((And now I'mma ease up on the words... don't need to level two times bacause I read two books. xD))

Kazuma once looked at the book to read more on the next section it. It was on a type of puppet that made no sense to create. It was made to stay and take punishment. He figured making one wouldn't hurt too much though. He could probably find use for it, such as placing a person he was supposed to protect inside of it to keep them safe during a battle, or even use it as shelter when he wasn't sure if he could stay safe while fighting an opponent and had no where to hide really. He could also use it to hide away a subdued person, or one of his weakened comrades in the heat of battle to keep them from dying. It would be beneficial to Kazuma to own at least one of these and make a new one everytime it got destroyed or even when it became more of a burden then useful.

Successes: 8/10

Kazuma woke from his short nap to look into the book to see what the last type of puppet was. It was a particular type of intensive torment device of some sort. This caught his attetntion due to the fact it had the ability to crush and kill without much of a mess in the area, which was good becuase that would make missions that needed stealth to be a key factor much easier to do. Plus if he had to capture someone it would prove useful in doing that as well. 'The smaller the better' the book pointed out telling how a tight space made jutsu's harder to perform within the puppet and this would prove useful seeing how a jutsu could probably destroy the puppet from the inside, so a tight space would be incorporated in the puppet itself. Kazuma pondered which of the weapons that were provided would do better, and for which situations would it help in. The various ways of capture and torture the puppet could do were actually very intriguing to him. They opened up the possiblity of him not needing to kill anyone, just knock them out and leave them inside to finish it. Even if it was still killing, if he didn't see it, it never really happened. Kazuma never thought on the fact he would need to clean the puppets himself though.

((Hey guys I'm going to get litteraly no posts done after this one ((Thing's with school got way out of hand and I'm way over my head)), so until summer break I wont be rping.

So prepair yourself for the worst exit post on earth, a whole two I three sentances!))

Mag laughed a little as she heard a loud static sound come from her band, it was something she hadn't heard before. "Maggie MAGGIE? What are you thinking get back home right now, I knew it wasn't safe for you to be outside yet." Mag almost flinched as she heard her fathers voice through the little watch. With a bow and a sigh Mag departed saying her good by until she was once more allowed to leave.

((In eight week I'll be doubling the post output I had over spring break so this break will seem short I hope.))

((I have been informed by shuriken that he is incrediby busy but wishes not to hold us back so he said that we carry on with the learning process. Will learn the 5 basic jutsu and go from there.
Vain, this is one of those being at two places at once scenario I was talking about. Its really important you learn the system but I also want you to be able to learn jutsu with the rest of the class so you can have your little spar with Nadiya and do your training.

EDIT:Aww, nos4, so sorry to hear that. Well, lousy exits aside, we will miss you))

Nadiya took her little group of children and got them together. It was time to learn a jutsu for them and she wanted to see how they would perform. Given how hard they worked prior, this might actually be fairly simple for them. Still it was neccasary to learn to become a gennin so they had to learn it.

"Alright, well this is a mark in your lives as shinobi. You have mastered the handseal which is the key to learning jutsu. Your first jutsu will be henge no jutsu, the transformation technique.

With this introduction, Nadiya made a quick seal and in a puff of smoke, appeared to look exactally like Mag. She smiled and waved before transforming back.

"It's simple. Make the seal and concentrate your chakra, focusing on the thing you wish to look like. Then release your chakra and let yourself transform. It should be pretty easy to catch on to as long as you guys practice. It's easier to transform into something or someone you can see, so practice by trying me, just don't shame my image too much!

Henge no Jutsu:
Roll 1d20. You must get a 13 or higher to successfully transform into a crude image of Nadiya. Each student is expected to complete this 5 times for the first day of training. Attach the following to each training post:
Cp: -
Formula: 1d20 + Chakra Control
Train: 0/5
DC:13

If a student successfully performed the Jutsu, he loses -1 Cp. If a student failed an attempt, he would still lose -1 Cp. To regain Cp, they have to rest for one post and gains back +1 Cp.


Part II
The final part of the training is done much like the first. By using the Tiger or the Sheep seal, they would transform into their chosen person/object. After they have completed their transformation, they're expected to hold the Henge for 2 minutes.

Cp: -1 for each successful transformation + -1 per minute held
Train: 0/4
Formula: 1d20 + Chakra Control
DC: 11
To regain Cp, they would have to rest for one post and receive +1 Cp.
