Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a system of caves that has two entrances. One, the closest to Abunai Canyon, is the second way to get to Iwagakure. It is the easiest an safest route, because unless one is quite literally blind, you cannot get lost. The tunnels are marked at every turn with the village symbol, and an arrow pointing down the correct tunnel.

The second set are used mainly for training. There are no symbols pointing to anywhere, and there has yet to be an exit found in the area discovered.

Team cells go down there as a group and fight against one another in the dark depths of the labyrinth, trying to 'do in' each other before the rest of their team.

The maze seems to go into a circle, or else the tunnels become dead ends. However, there have been one or two ninja who have gone missing in the depths of Meikyuu....

She struggled against the bonds. "Shut up!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the cave.
She let out a cry as a strong stab came to her leg, letting a blanket of crimison seep through. Her eyes clamped shut as the pain shot up her leg.
"Now, remember our deal. Or we can very much pull the plug for your mother as well," hissed a man's voice. Violet eyes faded as the bonds released.
"...Looks like I'll have to be limping. Great," Sararin said with disdain. She tore a strip of cloth off the bottom of her outfit and pressed it to the small, but deep cut. After deciding that most of the bleeding had stopped, she headed for Kiyoshi's for some meds to help.

(IS THIS TOO GODMOD? PLEASE ALERT ME IF SO.)

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!!"
Reck did a flying kick past Ark and crashed into a wall, then fell on his back twitching.
"haha...ha. Guess it still nedds some work. Huh? Wheres the sensei?"

Kishou emerged into their view. "Good. You're all here. Okay. I know you guys have been itching for more difficult missions so here's how it'll work. This will be a teamwork exercise. If you pass, I'll put in a request to the kage to bump up the default difficulty of the missions you're assigned. If you fail, I'll be sure to stick you with low-ranked missions for another year. We can either play it that way or make it be just a training exercise, but since it's a group exercise, the decision of whether there are stakes or not has to be unanimous. Otherwise, it'll be the no-stakes version by default. So whaddaya say?" He grinned.

Keiko smiled, "I'm so for it...as long as you guys are...and if your not..." Keiko evily smiled, "I WILL HURT YOU!!" Keiko laughed, "Okay, I won't hurt you..."

"Awesome. Now, then. To start matters off, we'll do this." He took two pieces of rope and bound their ankles like they were in a three-legged race with three people in stead of two. Ark's left ankle was tied to Keiko's right ankle and her left ankle was tied to Reck's right ankle. “Here’s the set-up - First, you may NOT untie those ropes until the exercise is over. I’ve set some traps here in the cave. The traps aren’t lethal by any means, but they’re there. I have the side-caves roped off so you won’t have to worry about what path to take. There will be fifteen traps in all. For each trap you avoid completely, you get two points. For every trap you trip but are able to avert once it’s tripped, you get one point. For every one you all are hit with, you get no points. You must get twenty points or higher to pass. Since this is a team effort, you’ll all have to keep your eyes peeled for traps. I’ll monitor you guys from the shadows. Any questions before we start?” He grinned again.

((Since I’m still hazy on the official system, we’ll play with a twist on the d20 system. Each of you roll a d20 as you near a trap I prompt. (Mainly putting it like, ‘Kishou looked around as they walked. The last trap was wire-based, so he concentrated on the floor’ or something like that. Add dialogue if you like to keep it interesting.) If your combined amount is 3-20, one or more of you spots the trap and an adequate method of getting around it (You can be as creative as you like, though what‘d make most sense is that the one with the lowest roll notices first). If the total is 21-40, someone spots the trap and warns the others, but you still trip it, though it wouldn‘t hit you. Again, you can be creative with how you evade. Lastly, of course, if you get a 41-60, it’s a full hit. Any Questions? ^__^))

Ark looked around the cave to see if any traps were noticable. ''Alright I have a plan'' said Ark. ''Ok Keiko you look for any traps that are straight ahead of us. Reck you look for any on the ground and I will look for anything up top. Thats the best idea I could think of, if you two have any better speak now.''

(( ok I got it also ))

Kishou nodded. "All right then. Off you go." He darted out of their sight.

The first trap that the group would encounter is seen by the dirt looking disturbed in a large circular manner near the center of the cave floor.
