Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If you must know, Crius had stopped in order for you to confront him not too long ago. But you had given up by then. Now he had taken reign in a new Organization. But it's name remains unknown even to me, since I have not spoken to him, in far too long. " Serkan says with a roll of his eyes. "Since I'm sick of talking and being threatened every time I turn around. I've told you all I know, and now I really will take my leave. You can take the information as you will. Or continue this little desperate rampage that you're having. With someone else." Serkan says, with a slow roll of his eyes as he continues walking away. He had never actually stopped walking, instead he had simply spoken to Yuan, and that was of everything he knew. For he was not a true ally of Crius' but more of Akai's and only knew Crius in that way.

Ichigo came to Hidden leaf and finally understood why his group members liked to train there so much. The place was truly a beautiful place. Easily the biggest of all the Hidden Villages. Ichigo knew why he was here. He did not have much time before the Jounin exams started however, there was one technique that he wanted to get before the exams started. He knew that he did not have a lot of time to learn techniques now that they have posted the brackets for the Jounin exam tournament. However, Ichigo felt that he could at least learn one technique before continuing to the exam. He smiled as he walked around and wondered to himself why he did not get in touch with Valkyrie before coming to Hidden Leaf. He knew that she would be in here training herself. Of course she would be training herself in Medical techniques, as is her new love. Or possibly genjutsu, her original love. Ichigo smiled while thinking. Valkyrie could be so fickle at times that it was almost funny. She wondered how long she would go in the exam. In all truths, she has never lost a match, something that only her and himself could say. He continued to walk around. He really only vaguely knew where he was going thanks to conversations that he a valkyrie had over the course of years. Conversations about her visits to Hidden Leaf. In actuality, Ichigo had found himself in Hidden leaf a few other times before, however he never had much reason to train here. Instead he only looked over the trainings of Onishi and Ranmaru, who he seemed to be a overseer to for long periods of time simply because mastering Ichazuki techniques is a lot harder than mastering most other clan’s techniques. The two of them are a lot closer to him than the others of his age group because of that. He knew who he was looking for at this moment: Sakura. She was at this point a either going to be found at a hospital or at a training ground. Fortunately Hidden Leaf, though more busy than most villages, only had a few hospitals that treated ninja so that would be pretty easy to find. He knew that he had to stop chilling and had to start looking or he was going to run out of time to train before the exam.

Ryu just got to the leaf village just to get some training done today he really need a work out every since he graduated from the academy he wants to learn some taijutsu moves maybe some ninjutsu if it comes to it but he need to find a strong opponent to test his taijutsu then as he explore the village he runs into this masked man and he was doing nothing but eating on some cheese cake by the village's shop and then ryu had a feeling that he must be strong just to stand their without any worry's about being attack

"This is my time to attack"

Ryu leaped into the air and launched and heavy kick towards the masked man but in an quick but smooth motion the mask man counter that move and redirected his attack while still eating has cheese cake with one hand and ryu was flying through the air and then ending up back on the ground taking a little damage but it was nothing. ryu got back on his feet and launched another attack at the masked man and punched at him with blinding speed.

Majora then looks at ryu and saw he was coming at him and ryu punch's but that was not a normal punch majora can clearly see that one of his punch was like getting hit by seven so majora dodge his punch's all together and jump about eight feet away from ryu and asked

"what are you trying to pull are you one of them"

Majora said londly to ryu and ryu looked confused cause he didn't know what he was talking about and ryu stop for a moment and then said

"I just wanted to test out my skills against a strong opponent such as yourself what is your name"

Then majora looked at ryu and was thinking and said

"Majora is my name and being a ninja is my game"

Majora said with a tone of laugher in his voice from under his mask. but when he was making his little joke ryu decided to attack majora while he was not looking or paying any attention to ryu's attack, he attacked with a flurrys of kick and then majora at the last moment block off every kick and then ryu let out a forceful punch to majora's chest but sadly that failed as well as majora dodged it from such a short range and appeared behind ryu then majora smacks ryu on the back of the head not even all that hard and tell's him

"you have to do better then that if you want to beat me let alone hit me...your kinda weak but you have alot of power but you lack the speed to keep up with me."

Majora sat on the floor fanning himself as he was talking about ryu and his lack of skill as a ninja and he got up and looked at ryu and sigh and asked him

"are you going to come at me again or can i go home....you know what why did i even asked im going home your not even worth my time"

As majora begin to walk off ryu got really upset and come at majora with a blink of an eye and punch majora back a few yards and majora was down on the ground thinking

"ouch...that kinda hurt...i guess i should have not made him upset...but..should i keep holding back or just give him a taste of a little taijutsu power....I'll show him a little hand to hand combat."

Majora then get up from the ground and then get in the strong fist fighting stance and gave a smile to ryu and then asked him

"what are you really looking for are you ready to fight some like me?

ryu responded

I'm look for a powerful taijutsu user to battle to see what i can learn from them"

Majora then looked at ryu noticing that he avoided the second question and then gave a little smile and the told him

"while im not holding back so are you ready"

Ryu then thinks for a little and then looks up with fire in his eyes ready to battle then majora looked at ryu and said

"come on let's see what you can do and maybe i'll teach you some things"

ryu then got into a stance from what his master taught him before he came to this land majora looks at ryu and he was confused cause this was a stance he never seen before and majora really like the guy cause of his special fighting stance and then majora then attacked ryu with a punch to the face but ryu counter the punch with a kick that hit majora in the ribs then ryu tried to chain it with another move be it was too late because majora then dodges the kick that he throws and then backfist him into the face and then gives him a gut punch that had so much impact that ryu almost so called lost it all over the ground then ryu fell to the ground and majora walked over to him and tried to say no hard feeling but then ryu tricked majora to walking up to him in a close range to give majora his most powerful move it was a uppercut that sended majora flying through the air and majora then was spinning in the air and he came crashing down to the ground majora was in pain for sure this time but that did not stop him for pull out a move on ryu. majora then got up again and then dust himself off and had to get himself together as he got up he perpared himself for a move he saved up then he launched his move he moved so quick toward ryu that it was so fast that ryu didn't know what to do so then he prepared himself with a block but majora broke through it with a leaf rising wind then ryu went flying in the air and then majora use leaf shadow dance to get behind him and use his made up move the Incomplete Initial Lotus but in order for majora to do it he had to do Ultimate Endurance to cut down on the damage by 3/4 so that he may receive the less damage possible. so majora kicked ryu upward then went behind ryu and executed his move and it was a hit the move of his hit ryu with maximum damage and ryu went unconscious and majora took a little damage from that move he just got done doing but majora was tried and he looked at ryu as he lays there still breathing surprisingly majora then was thinking and also he was shocked because ryu should have died from that impact but ryu is as tough as metal majora then said

"your alright kid i'll take you in as my pupil and teach you some stuff dealing with hand to hand combat you have some talent well i'll be going now so take care of yourself."

Majora then was about to leave but he could not bare the damage that he has done on ryu so he healed ryu back to his normal state and then he left after but before he did he told him

"you should be ok now im sorry i had to put the hurting on you but you wanted the strong opponent and i give you a tasted of power but you'll be fine when you wake up..."

ryu heard every thing he said but he was still out so majora made his leave to let ryu come to in about a few hour or so but then again he has a lot of stamina that he didn't even us e to it's fullest he is and great taijutsu user with great power and with that said majora then disappear into the sunset. then a few hours later ryu then awoken in an bed in the leaf's hospital

"where am i....hey where is that guy i was fighting how did i get here...does this mean im not strong enough...i started the fight but could not finish it...i will keep training to become stronger...and to beat that guy again i faced today.

Then a doctor came in the room and told him to wait until she is done with the testing and she will see if he can leave shortly then ryu nodded his head and the nurse gave a smile and left the room and ryu sat there in the bed thinking about his defeat that he had got today but ryu knew he could not sit there and sway over emotion he had to go back to the way the fight went out he use move that are some what not too difficult he when back to the way majora was fighting cause he was using taijutsu moves.

"he was using some fighting style i think it was called the strong fist fighting style that i heard of in the land of the leaf...that guy rock lee that i heard about knows that very well along with his master the infamous might guy but i can't do anything until i get out of this hospital i have to continue my training"

The nurse then came back in to tell ryu that he was free to go as he please then she said that he is in good condition to keep training but take a break every once in a while for the next two weeks or three ryu nodded his head and then the nurse left the room then ryu got on his cloths and begin to leave the hospital then when ryu checked out of the hospital he begin to set out to his training. he begin in the a small part of the town to explore around the town to see if he could find some on to train with him so he can get stronger quicker. then ryu continued around the village until he run into a ninja in an green jumpsuit and ryu said loudly.

"Your that taijutsu master i heard about are you the one called....rock lee!!

Rock lee looked surprise and looked at ryu

"yes it is i and who may you be?"

I'm ryu hoshi from the village hidden in the cloud and i came here to do some training but it has not gone well and i was looking for some one to train with but i have not have any luck at all.

Rock lee looks at ryu and thinks to himself and smiles

I Cannot let a friend down who is in need. i will do it. i will help you with your training ryu come with me.

rock lee headed toward the training ground and ryu also follow behind him and they both appear in the training ground and both off them stood about ten feet away from each other and both of them got into their fighting stance and they begin to fight one another and they fought for about 10 to 12 hours ryu was very tried and rock lee looks like he has not even broke a sweat. ryu was really amazine on how much stamina rock lee has but they been fighting for almost half the day and he looks like he just started the fight.

"How do you do that you look like you were just started the fight"

Ryu was exhausted and his talking was very slow and he was breathing very loudly and rock lee looked at ryu and gave him a smile.

You are not yet strong enough to learn what i can teach you but come back went you get stronger then we shall see what you can do"

Then rock lee jumped off into the tree and made his way back to the village. ryu sat there just thinking about how many people that are that is strong then rock lee himself and then ryu says.

I will keep training to even surpass him one day it's just going to take someday.

then ryu kept training here in the leaf village until he passes out from over training.

Demon simply let out a simple sigh, disappearing in a burst of blue energy, he wasn't going to pass up an opprtunity to be apart of something world changing, so now he had discarded everything in his life for this. He was gone from the world but would return eventually in hopes of serious change.

“Ahh I see that you are finally ready to train. Today, and basically for a good long while, we will not be dealing with moves derived from the Raikiri technique. Instead we are starting with moves that are simply basics. The Chuunin exams are coming up and the fact of the matter is that you are not yet prepared for them. Chances are that you will not be prepared for them no matter how hard we train you but there is always that possibility. Now the first technique that I will be teaching you is the Body flicker technique. It is a very basic ninja technique, not unlike the techniques that you learned in the academy. The difference is that this is not the academy. Basically this technique uses whatever is in the environment to hide your movements as you change positions or disappear or reappear or just simply appear. It is a very useful technique for gaining the element of surprise on your opponent, and that is something that you do not have as of yet. Why don’t we go outside to continue this conversation and continue our training?”
With that, turned around and walked out the door. Saizo hurried after him. He really did need to get ready for the chuunin exams, that was true. He really needed to get ready for them or he was going to be in big trouble. He truthfully did not want to skip this exam if he did not need to and that was the true reason why he was here. Kakashi and Saizo walked outside and through the streets. They stopped at a large playing field. Kakashi looked around. At the time the field was not being used. He nodded and turned to Saizo.
“This place will do for now. If anyone comes then we will move to the woods outside of Hidden Leaf. They would actually be better for our training, but this place was a lot closer and time is of the essence. Now you must understand that you will not be sleeping much for the next couple of days if we are to get you ready for this thing. We need to train you an extreme amount to get you to where you need to be. Now let me show you the technique that you will need to learn. Remember to activate your Sharingan to hasten your learning of the technique.”
With that Kakashi made a simple hand sign and a great wind formed causing the leaves in the area to swirl around them. It was hard even for Saizo with his sharingan to keep up with it and keep sight of Kakashi. Suddenly, when the wind stopped, Saizo realized that he had no idea where Kakashi was. He looked around but could not find him. Saizo was actually quite surprised about just how useful the new technique was. He could not wait for his chance to use it.
“Ahh I see that the technique worked,” Kakashi said as Saizo followed the voice to see him in a nearby tree. Kakashi had successfully hidden from him. That was something that surprised Saizo. The technique was some that Saizo could not wait to try out.
“Okay, you have seen it and you have seen me do the technique so I guess that it would be your turn to try your hand at it. The technique is not too hard to do. IT simply requires precise focus to pull off. The technique requires you to spread your chakra into the environment, causing the, in this case, flying leaves. It is a pretty simple technique, all you need to do is concentrate. Now why don’t you give it a try?
Saizo nodded and started to build up his chakra, expelling it into the environment. He used it to manioulate the leaves causing them to move. As the momentum increased, more and more of the leaves began to fly around. Saizo waited until he felt that he was completely covered before making his move and jumping into a tree. Within a few seconds the leaves ceased to fly and returned to the ground. Obviously it did not take Kakashi as long to find Saizo as it took Saizo to find Kakashi.
“Well, you certainly learned that technique a lot faster than I thought you were going to learn it. I tell you what, why don’t you grab some lunch and then meet me later to continue our training.”
Saito agreed to that and went to the ramen stand. He was looking forward to getting some more ramen. At the ramen stand he ordered pork ramen this time instead of beef. It was a lot more empty this time around, there being only one other person there. Saito looked at him. He did not seem to be from Hidden Leaf at all. Instead he seemed to be from another village, possibly a village from far away. Saito sat one seat down from him and waited for his food. The man sitting next to him smiled at him and Saizo offered a shy smile of his own.
“I like the ramen here. It is the best that I have tasted outside of the Hidden Moon Village. The way it just flows down your throat is just great.”
To that Saizo simply offered a nod. He was mildly surprised that the man would offer that kind of small talk to someone that he did not know. The fact was that he did not know the man so what was he supposed to do.
“You are an Uchiha am I not correct?”
“Yea, whats it to you?”
“Just interested. Hey, try to get into the Chuunin Exams, however, if you do not make it in, I will be in Hidden Leaf on my travels later on. I will train you personally.”
With that the man simply left. It was weird. Still, it was something to look forward to in the future. Saizo finished his ramen and made it back to the field. This time Kakashi was nowhere to be found. Saizo was not surprised. That was the kind of person that Kakashi was. The fact was the he really could not be depended on to be anywhere on time.
IT actually took Kakashi until about twenty minutes after they had decided to meet up again to return to thie place. This time Kakashi had brought a Makeout Paradise novel for good fun.
“Okay, now you are doing a new technique of sorts. This technique will be unlike anything that you have done recently. This technique will be a genjutsu,
