Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Akura followed the clone he lost her from sight and was rather lost. " Just perfect... I'm lost in an Island full of ninja that have the potential to kill me and hide my body where no one will find it." He said as he took a step to the front focused on the oasis in front of him. Akura took another step and began to slowly sink under the sand, " What the-!" He said as he placed chakra on his feet and jumped out of the sand. " There should be a - Beware of quicksand - Notice here." He said as he made a few seals; " Stone clone!" He cried as he made a clone that jumped into the quicksand. " Alright then..." Akura said as he jumped on to the clone's shoulder, he made more seals once he was on the clone's shoulders " Stone Clone." He said once more as another clone appeared about 4 feet away from him, he placed chakra on his feet and jumped over to the other clone, whit out a second though he placed chakra and jumped over to the " Safe " side of the quicksand... or that was what Akura thought at least , once more he began to sink, faster that he was sinking earlyer, he kept calm and made more seals and made a clone that grabbed him and placed Akura on his shoulder, Akura then jumped to the safety of the Oasis.

Kira stood up from his hammock. In his time spent here, he had been training, and very hard at that. He could feel it. He was fit, and ready. He stood up, feet shoulder length apart. He stared of into the distance, breathing steadily. He could feel how far he had come. A few months ago, he was just dreaming of being in this place. Here he was, in his Suna campsite, at the Chuunin exams.

Then it hit him. What if he didn't pass the first stage? What if the proctors had caught him cheating? Would his hard work, his dream of becoming a Sannin, be crushed right here? It would be horrible if he had to take the exam again. He would be with the newbies. They would all make fun of him. No matter, he just had to hope that he passed. He had thought he had done everything flawlessly, so he had little to worry about. Then, he noticed a ninja behind him. He didn't turn around, just moved his head slightly, shifting his eyes to the sides to look. There was an ANBU there, his mask and body language revealing nothing.

The ANBU tossed a scroll to him, saying nothing. Kira nodded, and waited until the man left. He opened the scroll, and a grin creped across his face. He had passed! But Kira kept calm. He reached in his one bag he carried, and took out a Katana, (shown in picture) and a pair of gloves with metal fingertips and a metal palm. He looked at the map, and left. He had his gourd on his back, as well as the arm holsters of sand. Time to get started on this second Stage!

Akura glanced at the voice that came from the Oasis, " I guess your right. " He said as he walked over to the docks.

To the docks...
