The day was bright in Konoha and it was the first day of the new term in the Academy. Parents all lined up to wish their children good luck, knowing that this was the first step in a long and arduous journey. The parents were talking amongst themselves

"This seems like a good year." one said looking at the children going in, "I've heard nothing but praise from the pre-academy teachers."

"Yeah, this may even be the same as the golden era of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Hokage"

"Yup! I'm gonna have lots of fun with this lot!" A voice came from behind the two parents. They both jumped in surprise, then sighed as they realised who it was

"Oh no! They got that sadistic bastard as a teacher...I fear for my kids, really." The parents said as they walked off. They looked behind them. Kenji-sensei was one of the most feared but also one of the best. Their kids would surely have a tough time

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma Ishimaru stands in the background with his arms folded, looking at the parents wishing their children well, all the tearful celebrations between families. However he just stands there alone with no one to wish him good luck. Kazuma sighs to himself, his parents were long dead and his Uncle and Aunt refused to come here with him. In fact they actually hated it that he had chosen to enter the Academy. They resented the Shinobi way and would never understand the inner desire that brought him here. He thinks about the scene this morning....

“I don't understand why you want to join that barbaric Academy, Kazuma...do you want to end up murdered like your parents?”

Kazuma shakes his head, “They died so you and Uncle can be free to run your business in peace as do all Shinobi who put their lives on the line for Konoha.”

“The Shinobi have brought us nothing but war Kazuma, you're young but you will see soon enough. If you want to join the Academy then don't expect your Uncle and I to support you.” He walks out and slams the door.

Now here stands Kazuma outside of the Academy, looking at all of his future classmates with their supportive families. “This sucks....” he says to himself.

[Nero92]

Rion Shigen arrived outside of the Academy at the last minute before the gates close.He sees most of the other kids be there with their parents wishing them good luck.Rion was alone and had nobody to support him.He learned by his mistakes and trained to every difficult situation.He was alone but he was feeling fine.Rion is a calm and cool kid.He looks all over around.He saw another boy that was alone with his hands folded.

Rion walks towards the Academy as he knows that now his whole destiny changes.

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai stood alone ,hands in his pockets, leaning on the acedemies wall watching everyone else's parents give them praise and support. He despised them for those were the same children who had always taunted him for having no family and his eyes.He knew that the only reason he was even here was to prove them wrong and to acheive the power to do so. He looks to his right and sees two other boys with no one eles by them. "hmmph atleast I'm not the only one without a family" he thinks to himself.

"I guess its about time" he says begining to enter the acedemy knowing that power he hopes to acheive lies behind those doors.

Morning. In a house in Konoha, a man walks into a bedroom, bottle in hand, and starts nudging someone in their bed with his foot.

Man: Wake up.
Boy:Ungh....
Man: WAKE UP RAITO!
TWACK!
The man punches the boy in the head. He jumps up out of surprise and takes an offensive stance.
Raito: THATS IT DAD!

He lunges at his father, arms swinging.
POOF!
The man disappears and then reappears. He sits on Raito, pinning him on the ground.

Raito: DAMMIT! GET OFF!
Dad: You're such an idiot.
Raito: Oh yea! Well one day, I'm gonna get strong and you'll see.
Dad: To get strong, you need to go to school.
Raito: I'll get strong on my own.
WHAM!
Dad: No son of mine is going to skip school, let alone his first day. You're going.
Raito: Grr....

The man picks him up and them pushes him out the door.

Dad: Now go to school.
Raito: Pfft... whatever.

The classroom had not changed since the old days. There were wooden benches that got progressively higher and further away from the Teachers desk and blackboard. There was a large area in the front to allow for demonstrations and tests of the basic ninjutsu the kids were to learn. Some students had already seated and it was easy to tell which ones were keen to learn. Amongst those in the front was a boy with black hair and white eyes from the Hyuuga clan, the Hyuuga mostly stayed to themselves and were not usually the most friendliest.

In the middle benches were a group of girls. They were gossiping pointing to the Hyuuga as well as other boys they liked the look of. Right at the back were a bunch of boys who were loud and obnoxious. They had already taken to crumpling up bits of paper and throwing it at a timid girl who sat at the front of the classroom. She was weeping gently but had her hair covering her face so no-one could tell.

There were still 10 minutes before the class was to start and the classroom was starting to fill up

[the_sloth]

At a small food stand somewhere in town.

Raito: I'll have two pork buns.
Merchant: Alrighty. Here and enjoy.
Raito: MMmmm. These are delicious. By the way, what time is it?
Merchant: About 5 to 9.
Raito: O SHI- Gotta go!

Raito rushes off with great speed.

Raito: Crap crap crap crap! Dads gonna kill me if I'm late. he thought to himself.

He continues running, passing through numerous houses and stores.

Raito: Shit, I'm not gonna make it.

He looks at a block of buildings in front of him.

Raito: A straight line is always the fastest way to get somewhere.

He barges into the house.

Man: OI!
Raito: Sorrypassingthroughbye!

He rushes through the houses. Bumping into tenants, running along laundry lines and even knocked over a potted plant. Eventually, he made his way through the buildings and saw the Academy in sight.

Raito: Almost there!

He bolts off, leaving a trail of dust behind him. He goes inside the Academy and immediately begins looking for his classroom.

Raito: There it is!

It was straight ahead of him. 10 seconds left. He runs. Raito runs by a door. A janitor walks out with a "Wet Floor" sign.

Janitor: Watch out, its wet.
Raito: Eh!?

He slips on the wet floor and lands on his face, sliding forward and straight through the door, breaking it down. He lays on the floor, dizzy and semi-conscious.

Raito: Ungh....

[Cursed panda]

At teh gate of konoha.

" Wow dad it took us long enough to get here!" A boy with bright green goggles shouted at a older man. "Well if you just stopped asking when we where gonna get here it would have been faster!" He yelled back." " Well your just slow i think.. but never mind that wheres the academy dad? " the older man pointed down a road there where many parents and young kids entering large building "I think thats it Shark!" shark looked at it and sighed.

" So i suppose you are going to head back to teh village right dad?"

"Yes good luck shark and have fu-" he was cut off when he noticed teachers walking inside. "Run Shark Run!" He yelled at shark. " Woah i am gonna be late bye dad! " He ran at teh academy not looking back teh teachers where about to shut the doors. " Wait up!" The teachers looked at him and waited as he walked in the building and then into his classroom. There where only a few seats left he walked to teh back of the room as he climbed the stairs and sat down at a bench.

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai sits at his desk with his elbows propped up and fingers crossed. He stares the a girl being made fun of then glares at the boys "hmmph those are the fools that made my life a living hell up until now" he thinks to himself

"I should do something....no its her problem not mine I wont benefit from it in the least". He mumbles to himself. He sits queitly at his desk despite the urge to get up and help. He knew he would risk getting in trouble and gain nothing so just sat and watched waiting for the lessons to begin. He opens up a ninjutsu databook and begins to read and study the data in the book knowing he had to learn as much as possible.

[StrawHat4Life]

"Hmm....so this is the great Konoha Ninja Academy," says Kazuma. He walks along the hallways, peering curiously into different classrooms.

As he walks past a classroom he hears someone inside yell the word, "Henge!" and he hears a poofing noise. Kazuma cranes his neck around the door and sees a group of older students practicing Jutsu. A young boy in the front has transformed into an identical copy of his Teacher. "Good transformation Jutsu, Jiro...you can change back now," says the Instructor and he makes some marks on a clipboard. The boy makes a seal and suddenly smoke puffs around him, turning him back into his original self.

Kazuma arches his eyebrow, "Wow that's cool....I need to be in this class." He looks across the hallway to make sure the coast is clear and sneaks into the classroom on his tippie toes. Suddenly someone grabs the back of his shirt.

"Hey what the hell do ya think you're doing!?" A tall man with a Leaf Head Band pulls him backwards. "I want to be in that class..." says Kazuma. The man laughs and looks him up and down, "You're one of the first years aren't you?" he chuckles devilishly, "Oh I know where you belong."

10 minutes later the man tosses Kazuma unceremoniously on his rear end into an almost packed classroom. "This is where you belong kid!" He laughs and walks away. Several children in the back laugh and point at Kazuma. He just ignores them and finds a seat in the back corner.

"Sheesh...that was unnecessary," he says.

[Nero92]

The 10 minuted just passed and there were still some empty desks.The teacher was already inside.

Rion was just walking calmly towards his classroom without being afraid for his late arrival.
Rion found the right door and opened it without knocking first and walked in.
"What's up guys", all the other students that were already there looked at him and the teacher didn't even say something.
Rion sees an empty desk near the back corner and sits there.Behind him was another kid.
"Hmm...Lets see what is going on here?"

[Vergil]

kenji observed the class from his usual spot. there were a few kids here with genius level potential and a few which would get there with a bit of work. some would probably quit within a few days.

his bloodline was perfect for teachin (amongst other things) he sat at the back of the class almost completely unnoticed. the hyuuga had sensed him, that was to be expected, but a few others did too.

invisibility. not only in sight but in smell too. he was konohas top man for recon back before his injury, but he enjoyed this role.

his henged clone walked into the room and sat down. the class started to go silent, then a horrible crash from the back of the room and a boy came flying in.

'not another one of those kids!' kenji thought as he looked at the crumpled heap of a kid on the floor.

kenji remained invisible in the hope that more would detect him

[Muk]

"Mom, I think I can make it from here," Yuki said.

"But dear, you don't even know where to go inside the academy," her mother replied.

"Bobby will show me, I can make it on my own, I am already late, let's hurry Bobby," Yuki said to her guiding dog. It immediately pulled on the leash showing her the way around.

Tick, tock, tick, tock. Her walking stick slowly tapped on the floor until she made it to the door. She hit it a few times with her stick, before her hands finally found the knob to open the door.

It was loud inside, someone had crashed in. She slowly opened the door. Bobby guides her to an open seat.

On her way to her seat in the far back, she hits something that doesn't belong to the wall, "excuse me" she says quickly then sits down.

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma is horrible at socializing, having fun, and holding his end of a conversation, but he has always been a good listener and a patient observer. From his back seat in the right hand corner of the classroom he had payed close attention to everyone in the classroom. The Hyuuga in the front especially caught his notice but then mysteriously Kazuma sees a young girl run into nothing but air and then sit down.

"Hmm....that was weird," says Kazuma, then an idea occurs to him. He stealthily rips a paper out of his small notebook and then throws it at the spot where that girl had bumped into. What the hell he thinks, its worth a try.

[Muk]

Yuki hears a knister in front of her and the paper thrown through the air.

"I didn't want to cause any trouble, honestly. You don't have to throw paper at me, just cause I bumped into you."

The ball of paper missed her and hit something rather far to the side.

"But there isn't anything on the wall, or is there?"

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma waves his hand apologetically towards the girl and rubs the back of his head, "Oops....sorry about that, I was aiming for the garbage can, hehe." Ironically theres a garbage can right behind him next to the door. Kazuma ducks his head down awkwardly, "Yup someone is definitely cloaked over there alright," he mumbles to himself.

[Muk]

"Garbage can? Oh ok, sorry about the misunderstanding. I am Yuki, what's your name?"

Yuki asks, still wondering about the garbage can. "Hey Bobby, did we pass a garbage can on the back wall? I remember the sound being more of that of some sort of leather shoe or sandle then being a plastic or metal garbage can."

Woof. "So my memory wasn't wrong after. It was something of a shoe or sandle. Err, are you trying to mess with me? There is no garbage can on the backwall, I definetly didn't come across a garbage can. Don't think you can just fool me cause i am blind!"

[StrawHat4Life]

"My name is Kazuma....huh your'e blind!?" Kazuma says, "Then what are you doing here?" Kazuma shakes his head in confusion, "To be a Shinobi one must not be a hindrance to his or her team," he says very seriously, "You'll only slow your teammates down and put everyone in danger," he says rather coldly.

Kazuma opens his academy book and starts reading it, geez I hope they don't put me on her team, he thinks.

[Muk]

"Says the one person who can't differentiate from a stinking shoe and a garbage can. Oh the prejudice about people's handicap being an immediate slow down to other people. And why are we actually listening to a bunshin up front? Didn't the teacher arrive yet?"

[[my charka sense are tingling :P]]

[Cursed panda]

Shark looked around the class teh blind girl and dog kinda surprised him but he said nothing. There then was that guy who threw the paper even tho there was a trash by him. He just kept looking at the black board and then put his feet up on the bench before him and took out a ninjutsu book looking it over.
" cool i never knew that about ninjutsu. I just hope this class starts soon tho or i well die of boredom..." He thought as he kept reading teh ninjutsu book every so often glancing at the black board.

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma glares at her, "Say that in the heat of battle when someone has a Kunai to your teammates throat and you can't even see what the heck is going on..." he looks towards the ceiling, "If I were in charge I wouldn't let handicapped people out into the field....maybe you should think of applying to the Medical Corps."

He stares up at their teacher, "As for the Clone its probably a test." he replies casually, "At least you're not totally blind..." and he buries his head into his book, reading over the various elementary techniques that they'll be learning soon.

[Muk]

"At which point, you already lost... that's why you don't let situations like those come up. And you always have to have a plan B. Medics... sheshh ... you think that girls are only good for medics or what?"

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma laughs, "My mother was an ANBU Captain....so no, girls aren't weak." Then he looks at Yuki, "Hmm...what are you like nine?" He rolls his eyes and sighs, "I doubt you'll make it past the first week anyway...now if you and your seeing eye dog will excuse me, I want to study in peace." he says in a blunt manner.

[the_sloth]

Raito eventually gets up, still dizzy from crashing through the door. He shake his head.

Raito: Well, at least I'm not late. he thinks to himself.

He walks towards the desks to try and find an empty seat. He sees one near the back and sits down, and then places his head on the table.

Raito: Sooooooo bored...

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renaki sits quietly in the back of the room observing everything he see's one student throw a peice of papaer into the air only to be blocked by nothing

"hmmm" he ponders what could be obstructing the paper he raises his gets up as if to go to the bathroom then he slips a blue peice of paper on whatever was obstructing the path. He continues to leave the room to make it look like he really was going to the bathroom. He waits outside the cassroom for two minutes then reenter taking a seat and keeping a close eye on the blue peice of paer.

"If it moves then my assumption are obviously correct" he mumbles to himself eyes still on the the blue paper.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

His eyes fluttered open, the tik-tak sound of the clock did help wake him up, but it was more likely the gregatious atmosphere of the crowd that drilled him some sense... It was somehow a blur... a dreamy blur before he could realize anything.

"Great. Damn great..." He raised an eyebrow to himself and flipped up on his bed only to find himself incompetently smack his head to the ceiling... It hurt, but he was too angry to curse.

Koguro looked around as he rushed down te stair. No one home. He guessed he wouldn't say a proper goodbye for today. Damn.

He rushed through the streets and arrived at the academy gate. There stood two guards at both sides. One halfsmiled, and one raised an eyebrow.

Like an instinct, Koguro raised his eyebrow back...

"Damn you kid are you gonna get in or not?" The smiling guard chuckled when the other still kept his eyebrow raised.

"Ok... Sorry." He nodded to the guard and rushed in the classroom.

Sounded like the class hadn't officially started yet... It was after all not a very bad day.

He looked around, the atmosphere was more friendly than he had thought. But it wouldn't make any change after all.

He reluctantly glanced at every kid who stopped for a brief moment to take a look at the late comer and quickly found his seat at the end of the classroom and started staring down on the table, occasionally glanced up to acknowledge what's happening.

[Cursed panda]

Shark kept his feet up on teh table reading the ninjutsu book. He didnt even look at teh black board any more just the book. All of a suden tho some one who came in late sat by him he looked at him. The new guy was stareing at the wooden table before him being at the same level and right next to each other shark thought he would say hello. He put down the book o the desk and got out a note book putting it on the desk followed by a pencil.

" You just gonna stare at the table tell class starts or are you gonna read up? By teh way i am Shark you are? He had a smirk as he looked at Koguro. His feat still on the table as he rock with his chair he was yet to fall backwards in it but he got close a few times.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro looked up and turned to the somewhat relaxed kid beside him with feet on the table. "I'm Koguro." He nodded and smiled. "And I'm pretty impressed with your name. Can you... like... summon sharks or something?" He chuckled and shrugged on the chair, starting to feel relaxed.

Soon Koguro stretched and yawned, lying against the back of his chair. The late sleep had some bad effect. He had needed some rest after a day of hard work, but this was how a little overdue of nap turned out to cause.

[Cursed panda]

Shark rolled his eyes looking at Koguro. "Ha Ha" He said sarcasticly. He looked around at teh class now and then at his desk which had his ninjutsu book, A notebook, and pencil on it. " So you from around here konoha or are you just coming here to become a shinobi from another village or country?" He asked yawning still leaning back on his chair.

he looked at koguro he had a smile on his face as he put back down his goggles over his eye's.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro had finished the yawn and turned to Shark half-smiling. "What can I say... I live around here, on a street not very far from this place." He shrugged. "If I from anywhere else I guess I'm not gonna move so long just to attend classes. All the same..." He stared down the table again, somewhat deep in thought for a brief moment. "...right?"

Koguro sighed and turned back to Shark. "So, you? Your around here too?"

[Cursed panda]

" Well you see i am from a small village far away i came here to becoem a shinobi no academy where i live." He shurged and turned to Koguro and then yawned one again. "Traveling made me tried but any way i was gonna talk to teh teacher after and see if i could get some one to take me in for a while so i can keep atending classes that's what we did with my older brother many years ago." He leaned back in his charir once again and started rocking hsi feet still omn his desk.

"Is i just me or is class seem very slow to start?" He asked laughing a little.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"I don't know." Koguro shrugged and raised his both eyebrows shaking his head. "See... I'm just here for like three minutes. Maybe it's just you... or the class... or maybe me." He chuckled and pointed his thumb to himself as he said.

The class was somehow like a mess, and students around kept standing up and sitting down chatting like in a crowded market... Some sat alone and kept silent, some others slept on tables as made funny noise as they dreamed of something.

Koguro sighed then turned to Shark. "True. This is gonna last long even for me." He started to smile again to raise the atmosphere of the chat. "So do you have in mind who the hell our teacher is?"

[Cursed panda]

[switching colors to red ]

"No clue he might be just lazy." he laughed a little and sighed. "This is gonna be a long time i can tell." He Looked at Koguro. "Also is it just me or does are class seem very bored?" He Started rocking in his chair again. looking around teh class and teh many different kind of students. He put his light green goggles back on his head so you could see his eye's.

" Damn those thing's get hard to see through after so long."

[Kuno]

Kiya stretched as the sunlight filtered through the window. Her eyes fluttered opened and she smiled to herself as she glanced at the clock. She stared for a moment uncomprehending of what the clock was saying to her. Then her eyes grew big.

“Damn! I’m late!” Kiya said jumping out of bed. She quickly did a run through of her morning rituals. “No time to braid my hair today.“ she says with a sigh. Then grabbing an apple she ran out the door.

She ran about half way down the street and slid to a halt. “I forgot my keys…” she glanced forward then back toward the house. Almost in tears she runs back to the house throwing open the door. She grabs her keys off the table and locking the door this time she sprints towards the academy her hair flying out behind her.

“Hey! Watch out girl!” someone yells as Kiya slams into them and falls back onto her butt.

“Sorry mister!” Kiya says as she stands brushing her hair out of her face and takes off towards the academy again.

About ten minutes later she gets to the academy gates and slows as she sees the two guards frowning at her. Kiya groans inwardly and blushes.

“Don’t these kids know how to be on time now a days?” One guard says shaking his head.

The second guard nods in agreement “And they say they are suppose to be our future.” he says with a roll of the eyes.

Kiya could feel tears sting her eyes at the guards comments. She slowly made her way into the building and began looking at the classroom numbers looking for hers.

Eventually she found it and stood near the door taking a deep breath. “Please don’t be to mad….” she mutters as she quickly opens the door. She keeps her head bowed as she quickly takes the seat nearest the door in the first row. Hoping she wasn’t noticed over much as her face burned from the blush.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato had been walking for way too long. Tired and thirsty he got a drink at some water fountain nearby. Automatically he felt something odd, so after he got his drink he turned slowly only to face one of the Teachers from the Academy.

"Your runnin a bit late there aren't you ?" The teacher says, with a chillingly cold voice.

"Ummm, yeah I seemed to have lost my way..." Kevato sratched his head and grinned widely, "Mind showing me the way ?"

"If your not smart enough to get their by yourself, what makes you think you are going to be ready for the Academy, kid ?" The teacher sneered back. Obviously this guy meant business, and definetely wasn't going to offer any help whatsoever to Kevato at all. Now Kevato just wanted to get away from him, and did as much, but as Kevato walked away the man appeared in front of him suddenly.

"Huh ? I don't want any trouble.......sir." Kevato said, hoping to avoid confrontation at all possible. However; it didn't seem that was very likely with the Teacher constantly following him.
"You know kid, I've heard things about you. Like your actually from the Village Hidden In The Clouds ? Oh wait, I think I heard about your family being killed and all too. Oh I heard they begged for their killers to let you live, huh, must be great knowing your the reason they died for isn't it ?"

The Teacher actually backed him into the wall as he said this. Kevato quickly tried to analyze the situation, and figured this much. Well, I either let myself be degraded by this deranged adult, or I run. Hmmmmm, well running has never been my thing. So then I either let him continue or I somehow distract him As Kevato tried to think of something, he saw someone come from behind the Teacher before him. Kevato wondered who this was........

[Nero92]

Rion was just sitting and was watching all the others kids that were taalking with the others.
"So, all have some friends now..."
Rion looks at a boy in the front. "Oh shit, he must be from the Uchiha Clan"
Rion takes his matches from his bag and was ready to make a joke.He takes some papers from his bag and makes them a ball.With the matches burns the paper ball and throws it at the front without anyone noticing him.The smoke suddenly filled the whole class....
"Oh shit, a lot of smoke"

[Vergil]

Kenji had seen enough. The kage bunshin disappeared in a puff of smoke and Kenji appeared from the back of the class. He used his wind jutsu to clear the smoke from the class and he shook his head at Rion

"RIGHT!" He shouted. The students became startled except for those who were expecting it. The hyuuga smiled to himself, whilst the three rowdy kids almost lost bladder control. "My name is Kenji Shigun, but of course that's sensei to you. I am the most feared teacher in all of Konoha, because of my ability to turn invisible, I'll turn most of you into paranoid little nutjobs, but those with the will and strength of mind to deal with it will become excellent shinobi. The first lesson was obviously to question any surroundings you are in and to the expect the unexpected."

Kenji walked down to the front of the classroom.

"These are times of war, so unfortunately I don't have much time with you. Konoha's ranks are wearing thin so those of you that have enrolled will be put into a sort of crash course. You're free to leave at any time and I hardly expect all 39 people here to complete it. If you pass then you'll have a jounin sensei for a little while then you'll go straight in for missions. These won't be cleaning up some old woman's garden missions, these'll be carrying supplies to the frontline missions. I'm not exaggerating when I say some of you will die an unpleasant death"

Some of the kids muttered uncomfortably

"But that's what this training is for. You should know all the hand signs and be clued up on how chakra works and all from your time in pre-academy, if not then ask. First jutsu, and watch carefully and write it down cos I won't repeat it."

Kenji put his hands together "Dog, Boar, Tiger, Henge no Jutsu!" Kenji turned himself into the fifth Hokage, and sat on the table, he looked down at his/her chest and grinned.

"Now your turn and I don't expect you to get this first time. Your homework will be to master this jutsu in no less than 4 days. It's short I know, but we are short on time."

He suddenly flew up and threw 6 kunai at Kazuma, Shark, Raito, Kogoro, the Hyuuga and the timid girl. They were aimed directly at their heads. In reality they were bits of chalk, transformed when he had transformed himself. He would create excellent shinobi even if it drove them mad.

A tall dark figure walked through the corridors and headed towards the classroom. He had a child with him when he saw the teacher harrassing another kid who seemed to be from the cloud village. He spun the teacher around.

"Now's not the time!" he said glaring at the teacher. He dropped to the ground in terror, nodded and ran like a rat. Both parent and child ignored the kid on the ground and headed towards the headmasters office

[Nero92]

"What the....?" Rion saw that there was no more smoke in the classroom and nobody saw it.He knew that this sensei did something.
He listened to him when he appeared at the back.
"Well, nice homework."Rion now knew what he should learn in these 4 days and he was the first one that stood up and moved to the door.
The sensei grabbed him from his shoulders and pushed him back "Nobody leaves until I say so kid"
"What the......"Rion sit back again while all the others were looking him and laughing.

[Kuno]

Kiya coughed a little and her eyes watered as the smoke filled the classroom. Then as suddenly as it started it was gone. She wiped the smoke caused tears from her eyes and glanced around and spotted the man in the back as he started to speak.

She listened intensly to what he had to say. Their sensei's speech only making her nerves worse.

Kiya quickly opened her notebook and wrote down the combination she would need to practice. "This is going to be interesting to say the least..." she thinks to herself as she watches him.

Then she sees the kunai fly. She lets out a squeak and ducks below the desk just as the kunai would have hit her. Kiya's heart is racing as she peeks over the edge of the desk looking at the man that she now will call sensei, with big eyes.

[the_sloth]

A kunai went straight for Raito's head.

Raito: OH SHI-!

He slides himself and his chair back and kicks the table from underneath, sending it flying upwards. Books, pencils and paper went flying everywhere. Raito then stood up from his chair.

Raito: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma's eyes widen when he sees the Kunai fly at him and Yuki. He quickly ducks down and at the last moment he grabs Yuki's arm and drags her downward. In the corner of his eye he sees a kid kick his table upwards into the air. The blades pass several millimeters over their heads and embed themselves into the back wall.

Kazuma sits up and then looks at Yuki apologetically, "Sorry about that but our nutjob Sensei just hurtled several Kunai at us."

He looks back at the embedded knives and marvels that they were once just bits of chalk. "He wants us to master that in four days...."

Suddenly the same boy who tipped his desk stands up and screams, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?

Kazuma grins, He's only asking for more trouble, he thinks, that teacher has a couple of screws loose...

Ignoring the inevitable fracas, Kazuma ducks his head back down into his book and starts memorizing all the hands signs for the transformation technique as fast as he can. I can do this...he thinks. "I'll have this done in half the time," he says resolutely to himself.

[Nero92]

Rion sees that the boy behind him just saved himself from a kunai.He turns to ask him what is going on but he then sees him reading the book fast.
"Ohhh crap.I should read too"
Rion turns in front again and finally opens his book."Ohh......difficult things!!"
He turns his head again at the boy behind him "Hey dude, I am Rion.What's your name?"
Suddenly the sensei throws another kunai at the boy that shouted "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato was speechless, as he still stood there looking up at the other teacher. All the things that that other teacher had said to him. Were they true ? No, they couldn't be. Kevato didn't want to think of his parents as being helpless, he had envisioned them as strong individuals that could hold their own. But the fact remained that they were dead. Nothing would change that, which made Kevato only stronger as a boy who was only still slowly developing into a man. He looked up into this other Teachers eyes and searched for some words to say, but couldn't manage it still, with everything that he had been told just moments ago.

[the_sloth]

Another kunai went straight for Raito.

Raito: Oh, COME ON!

He grabs the legs of his chair and pulls it from between his legs, blocking the kunai. He then spins and tosses the chair toward the teacher.

Raito: Jackass...

[Muk]

Yuki, pulls out a piece of paper and starts writing in blind language.

"Blind Uchiha > Golden Byakuam Hyuga!" and tells Kazuma to pass it around.

She also write its again on another piece of paper, rolls it up into a ball and throws it towards Raito, but her aim is so bad, the ball flies in a high arc lading far off its intended target.

"I can't aim ..." she says silently to herself.


"Hey sensei! Why are you throwing chalk at us? If you are going to make it realistic use realistic weapons. The sound between chalk and a metal weapon is wrong. Even the impact sound is just plain wrong."

[Kuno]

Kiya brushes the hair off her face and tucks it behind her ear as she slowly regains her seat. She watches the others as tables are uprooted and chairs fly. Some of the other kids are yelling at their sensei. Her stomach churns as she grabs one of her books and pretends to read it then stares at the few notes she had already written.

Once again she looks around. "Their going to get themselves killed...." she mumbles as she goes back to her notes though she continues to glance around.

[Muk]

Vergil I am moving this thread ahead with a new teacher.

"Kenji-chan" a small girl says from the front row.

"Huh, what, that's Sensei to you!" Kenji answers.

"Jeez, you are really horrible at henge aren't you. You can't even distinguish my henge?" Sakura Uchiha says.

"And don't start killing of my students! Alright class, let me introduce myself. I'll be your homeroom teacher, while Kenji-chan here will be your kunai and taijutsu teacher. If you ever have any trouble with him, come to me and I'll sort it out with you."

"Oh, sis is our homeroom teacher, sweet!" Yuki shouts.

"Yuki, and no more of these little pester and jokes. Don't provoke Kenji-chan here or I'll let him lose on you and you'll know if a blind uchiha is greater then a gold byakugam hyuga."

"But .... awe man!" Yuki says.

"Alright first lesson of today, fitness and kunai usage."

Sakura ignores all the chatter and immediately starts her lesson. She doesn't wait for any questions and she rushes through the lesson.

"Alright boys and girl, time for pratice. Get to the back yard you all and start throwing your kunais. If you hit the mark I'll invite you guys to lunch," she give the class a small wink.

[StrawHat4Life]

Amid all this confusing chaos, teacher's throwing Kunai's or nonexistent Kunai or whatever the hell the case is, Kazuma just sits at his desk, reading as fast as he can. Actually reading for Kazuma, basically boils down to staring at each page for a second and then flipping quickly to the next page. He's already gotten halfway through the book when a Kunai almost hits his head.

He glares at his classmates and all this chaos, it's crazy the only other person that he can see studying is some timid little girl in the front. Kazuma sighs and then slams his book closed, "That's it I'm outta here..." Kazuma gets up and walks casually towards the door, as he strides forward he ducks several apparently non existent Kunai and one semi non existent chair. He plans on returning when their assignment is due in four days. He doesn't stick around to see the new teacher pop up out of nowhere. Go figure.

When Kazuma gets back home, surprisingly his Aunt asks him how things went, "My you're home early what happened?" she asked.

Kazuma just shrugs, "Our Sensei tried to kill us..." and he walks up the stairs to his room to begin his transformation Jutsu training.

[Muk]

A knock at Kazuma's home. "Hello Miss, it seems we've got our first case of run away student, already. You do not mind me take him into custody, do you?"

"Good morning Kazuma, my name is Uchiha Sakura and if you'd been sticking around long enough for me to introduce myself in the class room, you'd know I'm your homeroom teacher. Now if you do not mind I really don't want to put a trady on the list just cause you went home."

In a more threatening, yet sweet voice, "I do hope you do not mind coming back and pratice your kunai throwing with all the others students from your class do you?"

She doesn't really wait for his respond and takes him with her and with a swiftly grabs his collar, then she transports the two of them back to the backyard of the school.

"So there we are all your other friends are already praticing their kunai throwing. Enjoy yourself and if something does happen, you can always come to me and ask for my advice."

She leave the class now in care of Kenji and prepares for the next lesson that the class would have soon.

[Vergil]

OOC: no worries - was about to do the same thing!

Kenji looked at the homeroom teacher "damn bitch" he thought, as he dodged the incoming chair, his classes always ended up with some sort of furniture being thrown. He wondered if he should change teaching methods, then shrugged it off as a table came flying at him.

"SILENCE!!!" Kenji shouted. it was a shoute that seemed to cause the very walls to vibrate

"Kai!" he said as all the kunai turned to chalk. "Only a few of you saw the point of henge. With just a piece of chalk and this ninjutsu I had you acting like feral beasts."

The hyuuga glanced at the blind girl and smirked as he read the note.

"Ok, so you guys get the point of henge! it's a powerful technique that shinobi don't use to its full potential. I want you to be able to henge yourself and objects. come here when you've mastered it and I'll grade you, or if you have any questions. Right, class dismissed, get to shuriken practice!"

Kenji said disappearing and walking out the door. He made his way to the Hokage's office.

"Well?" the hokage said behind a mountain of paperwork

"They seem promising. We got some outstanding talents in there." Kenji said peering through the mountain

"I hate to send kids out, especially without proper jounin instructers but our ranks are so thin..."

"Don't worry about it, they can take care of themselves. Actually they have no choice"

The hokage sighed. "Ok well I'll start drawing up missions for them, let me know when they are ready.....by the way how much furniture needs replacing this time?"

"Uhhh....one table and one chair...I think." Kenji left the room scratching his head. Then he went for some pizza.

[Nero92]

All the kids were in the back yard of the Academy since they had the lesson of Kunai.As most of them were training there, the door opens and man walks to the yard.He was wearing a black long coat and he was keeping some books.
He moved towards the kids as all stopped and were looking him.
"My name is Seki and I am one of the teachers of the Academy.Well, I came here to inform you that if you want you can leave for now or you can stay here and train."
Some of the kids stood up fast
"But before you leave, I have to give you the guide of performing the basic jutsus: Bunshin No Jutsu and Kawarimi No Jutsu.Some of you may know them but you have to train on them now.So this is your homework.You are free to go now if you want."
All the kids walked to him and took from one guide.
"Holy crap.Now we have 3 homeworks.Henge,Bunshin and Kawarimi.....damn...I am going to the lake guys, cya later"

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai still reading from his ninjutsu data book

"heh I was right I knew it...looks like I made a good choice to read this book but this sensei has lost it" he thinks to himself as he rises from his desk in the desk and begins the walk to shuriken practice. Some time later he is almost finished practicing in front of him is a dummy full of shuriken at all vital spots. He pauses to listen to the instruction for the homework

"Hmmph thats more like it.. a little more practice and I could have thi down in about two weeks" he quietly says to himself. He heads home. He lives in a small apartment on the outer edge of the village. He opens the door with his key and walks in. He then grabs a bite to eat and continues to the forested area behind the apartment. In the area there are kunai and shuriken lttered all over the ground from previous training.

"Time for ninjutsu for ninjutsu training.... finally" he says opening a scroll from his home. He had gotten them from the villages hokage when he was left to the village as an infant in the hopes of hm following the path of the shinobi. He opens the scroll it reads Basic ninjutsu it shows complex chakra formation and detailed instructions. He first gathers his chakra as illistrated in the book then does the required hand seals. His first bunshin is the same size as him but was alot fatter.

"Looks like this is going to be harder than I thought" he says some time later he is still practing with little yet noticable progress his clones look like him exept the dissapate very soon. He decides to swith up and try henge which he was already experienced with. He formed the needed hand seals and released his chakra in the correct formation. He transformeded into a giant shuriken he stayed as this for 1 minute before he dissapated back into his true form. "Ok then next up kawarimi no jutsu he syas as he reads further down the scroll and looks at the instructions. He forms the handsigns then quikly moves left while transforming a og with henge to look like himself. He then flips onto a tree throwing kunai at it. It poofs and turns back to normal.

"Well looks like im do.ne.." he cant finish he pasess out from exaustion. He went over his set time limit of 4 hours and had spent 6. Far to long for one with inexperienced chakra control to be using ninjutsu. He awakes and hour later and struggles to his feet. He arrives home and heads straight for bed he falls asleep immediatly. He dreams of his future shinobi lifestyle.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

*Before*

The kunai pierced the air and aimed straight towards Koguro's forehead. He sat still on the table not moving a muscle... He had some sort of thought inside his head, but let's fate decide, if Kenji-sensei was harsh enough to kill an ignorant student right in the first assembly, Koguro lost the bet.

The kunai turned to chalk and clenched harmlessly on Koguro's forehead before dropping down on the table. His muscle didn't move, but sweat dropped all over his body. He swallowed the air and acknowledged his own victory over himself.

Kenji-sensei might have seen that, actually one could say he must have seen that if he was that good like everyone else had often praised him. But it was understandable that he didn't show any kind of attention. Koguro deemed himself lucky, first for winning his own life back, second, for not drawing anymore attention, and third, being the chosen, though randomly, right at first.

Then more and more sweet dropped all over his body as he witnessed the... hilarious but intimidating chaos inside the classroom. A paper had been passed through him without his notice... A paper after all right? Or who knew? It could be an exploding note with that thing Kenji-sensei called henge or whatever. At that thought, Koguro passed it right away without hesitation.

After all henge did seem interesting and worth learning.


_________



*After*

Koguro tossed the kunai up and down nodding at it as the other kids were busy throwing like crazy. Teachers had been watching the others, and in fact Koguro did throw some. It didn't hit the perfect center, but none missed. He congratulated himself on being competent.

Then a man came and introduced himself as Seki-sensei, offering the new homework. The first day, to say the least, was way fancinating...

Koguro came and took a piece from his newcoming teacher. He fixed his eyes on the guide and nodded at Seki before heading outside. He was told to be free to go, if he remembered well.


Koguro fancied the book on his way home...


...before he remembered Kenji hadn't explained how to...



...henge...

[Cursed panda]

Shark took a guide and sat in the school Yard for a minute reading it. "this could be hard well lets start with Bunshin. " He thought to himself reading. He flipped to teh Bunshin page and began to read. In order to do a Bunshin you must have chakra control once you have good chakra control you well do the hand seal's. Once done a clone well appear depending on your chakra control teh status of teh clone well differ. "What the hell's chakra control." He said out loud opening his ninjutsu book.

He flipped through teh pages tell he reached one about chakra control. Chakra control is how you control your chakra. In order to get better at it some people practice the jutsu many times. other times people well walk up tree's or walk on water. "Hmmmm..." he stood in teh school yard now looking at some of teh other train students.

[Kuno]

She flinched as Kenji-sensei bellowed at the class for silence and listened. Then Kiya sighed and went out with the rest of the class to practice their weapons. “Why does it have to be weapons?” she asks herself as she picked up her notebook and the book in front of her and heads out the door.

She stood in front of her training dummy throwing the shuriken and kunai. Most had hit the dummy and surprising to herself some came relatively close to there mark. Though she could still see a few that hadn’t even come close to the dummy itself. Kiya become frustrated at this and threw a shuriken very hard. To her shock and awe it hit dead center of the head. She was ecstatic and in her head she was jumping around for joy. "Now if only I could do that when I mean to..." she thinks to herself sighing once again.

It was then that she noticed another teacher come out. She listened to him intently and then walked over to take one of the pamphlets. She thanked him and gathered her stuff and headed for the far side of the training ground.

Kiya leaned against a tree and read the pamphlet and looked at her notebook. She studied the procedure intensely and decided to give it a shot. “Okay mom…” she said “Let’s see if I remember the chakra control you taught me…” she takes a deep breath and does it.

She changes form a little but looks nothing like what she aimed to do. “This is harder than I thought…” she says to no one in particular. When she first got there it sounded as if the birds were cheering her on, rooting for her. Now it sounds more like laughter. "Why couldn't I be more like you dad..." she says with a sigh as tears sting her eyes. She goes back to trying once more.

[Muk]

Shark took a guide and sat in the school Yard for a minute reading it. "this could be hard well lets start with Bunshin. " He thought to himself reading. He flipped to teh Bunshin page and began to read. In order to do a Bunshin you must have chakra control once you have good chakra control you well do the hand seal's.

"Excuse me, could you point me at the dummy, I really can't see where I am throwing my kunai," Yuki said to the boy reading his books.

"By the way, what ya reading and why ya not throwing kunai's?"

Yuki was even holding her kunai wrong.

[Vergil]

the kids were all training hard. the hyuuga trained with the others for a short period then went back to his village under special permission to learn more about his bloodline. he was still a little niffed at the note.

the timid girl stood nervously looking at the kunai. she picked one up and then dropped it, she became the subject of more ridicule, this time by the group of girls who were laughing at her and the blind kid. the girls also stood nervously around raito and kevato

the group of rowdy boys flung the kunai with vigor but ultimately missed more than they hit. kenji was having a hard time teaching them

the atmosphere, aside from a few isolated incidents, was lively with the kids chatting and helping each other out.

[Cursed panda]

Shark thought for a minute before answering. "T he blind girl Hmmmm? " He started to answer as he looked at her and her dog. " Well first i am not practicing because one of the teacher's told us we have to master Bunshin, henge, and Kawarimi. But wit you cant read can you i mean they gave us a book but how are you gonna know how to do..." He went silent with thought as he looked at the blind girl.

" Just move up and a little to the left and you well be in range " he had a smile on his face. "Now then i am gonna try a Bunshin." He looked at teh page on more time and did teh hand seal's

Nothing happened. He rolled his eye's "Damn" He did the hand sign again still nothing. 'Damn what am i doing wrong! Wait a minute chakra control let's try using chakra. " He started to concentrate trying to use some chakra. He did teh hand seal and a poof of smoke appeared next to him but when it faded nothing was there. He tried again doing the hand seal putting to much chakra in it. There was a poof of smoke and then when it faded a lone was on teh ground before him dead. He touched it with his foot and there was a poof and it was gone "DAMN IT" He shouted alot of people looked at him.

[Muk]

"Oh thanks," Yuki answered. She throws her kunai. It flies in a high arc.

"Hmm, I don't think I hit the mark ..." the kunai lands short of the dummy.

"Well bunshin is kinda easy you know. I know that one."

'Bunshin!' and another Yuki appears before Shark. "See not that difficult, let me give you some hints," she says and tells him a few neat tricks that help with chakra control and creating bunshins.

"But don't ask me how to do a kawamiri. I've got no eyes, so i don't even know when to replace something. Oh and my sister says that somehow even though my henge seems to be technically perfect, its still wrong."

'Henge!' and performs a henge, only the result isn't shark or anything to be specific. To be honest its just black, just like how Yuki preceives the world with her vision, black.

Before Shark stands in a single color without alteration just plain black.

Smoke boofs, "see for whatever reason, they won't tell me why, but say its "perfect" except that it still fails as a henge for what ever reason...

Well, i'll try the kunai again. Might get the hang of that."

she throw several more kunais, most of them just plain miss their target, some fly so far that they even endanger the other students that are practicing.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato had an interesting day, from some demented Teacher harrasing him. Now he was practicing his kunai throwing. Some day, glad it got better though Kevato thought to himself. He had already caught up with what homework he would have to do. The henge for him was actually not hard at all, but Kevato had trouble making another object using the technique. Knowing so, he knew that after this kunai training, and whatever else the Sensei's had in mind for the day, that he would perfect the object henge at home.

Kevato was still having trouble hitting his target though. Sometimes the kunai would fall short or fly over the dummy. So after trying several times Kevato took a break, and watched the others who had actually began to hit the target, not center, but hit it. Kevato noticed that when they threw their kunai that they leaned forward more, and used more weight to throw their kunai. They also threw at a 90 degree angle instead of the 45 degree that everyone felt was more natural.

Kevato tried both of these, throwing his kunai. This time he hit the target with little aiming. Now Kevato was excited, he wanted to figure out how he would hit dead on everytime. So he then focused more on the center of the target, used more strength to throw the kunai. Kevato threw the kunai, and this time it hit dead on center ! Now Kevato was grinning a little. He did the same thing once again, and hit the same spot knocking off the kunai that was there from the first throw. Kevato attempted one more time, and he hit the same spot once again. Kevato contained his excitement and called over one of the Sensei's.

"Teacher-san. I want to show you something." Kevato said. Once one of them came over, he showed them that he could hit the target easily now. Once again knocking off the kunai that was imbedded from his last throw. "So what now Teacher-san ? Is that it for today ? Or do you need me to do something else ?" Kevato asked with the utmost respect that he could. He admired these Teachers very much. Now he would focus on the henge object, Bunshin, and Kawamiri.

[the_sloth]

Raito was throwing his kunai.

Raito: Check it out!

He threw 4 kunai at a taget. They all hit the target, and one was pretty close to the center. He continued throwing kunai. Sometimes from behind, under his legs, whilst jumping and even while spinning. The majority would hit the target.

Raito: I guess I'm just a natural. I guess I should probably work on something else. First, the bushin.

He did the hand signs and a cloud of smoke appeared. When it cleared, all that was seen was a greenish blob on the ground.

Raito: .... that ain't right... I'll try out a henge now. Hmmm, I'll try to henge into a dog.

He does the necessary hand signals and becomes enveloped in a cloud of smoke. When it clears, it is in fact a dog. However, it is blue with 5 legs and two tails. With another poof, Raito becomes himself again.

Raito: Hmmm, I'm pretty close, but I obviously need to work on my bushin and henge, but I've more or less got my kawamiri technique down thanks to my dad.

-Flashback to some time ago-

Raito's father walks into the living room, bottle in hand bearing gifts and presents.

Dad: Happy Birthday son.
Raito: Thanks dad.

Raito's father then throws the gifts at Raito. They poof and reveal themselves to be various kunai and shuriken.

Dad: Dodge this!
Raito: !?

They hit him and he falls.
POOF!

Dad: A kawamiri!?
Somebody taps him on his shoulder.
Raito: Why are you always trying to do this dad?
Dad: You need to be prepared at all times.
Raito: I guess you're right...
Dad: That, and I get bored easily.

-Present-

Raito: So I know what I should work on. I'll get on it later...

[herczeg]

"Andy!" There was this room, nothing fancy. A bed, a desk, a shelf. A mess...

"Hmmmpfh" There was this boy in the bed. Age is around twelve.

"Andy!" There was this girl trying to wake him up. Young, pretty, suck at cooking.

"Hvohohmmmmpfh" The girl was an orphan. Parents died in war. The boy wasn't.

"Andy wake up! Wake up!" Even so the girl took care of the boy, because noone else did.

"Idon'twannalemmesleepwhatisitanyway?" And the boy took care of the girl because he had noone else to look after.

"Get out of the bed." The girl was a ninja and just arrived from a mission.

"Hey give me my blanket back! ...please" The boy was just about to become a ninja.

"Hey, i'm sorry i missed your first day at school." 'Becoming s ninja' It's not a big thing really. You see there is this village called Konoha. It's full of ninjas.

"Uhm.. yeah. What?." They even have a ninja academy.

"I said i'm sorry i wasn't there yesterday when you went to the Academy first time." Andy wasn't cut out for a ninja.

"Oh... Uhm... Wups..." But again, he wasn't cut out for anything else, so he might as well become one.

"I don't like the sound of that." He missed his first day at school, which tells a lot about him.

"Oh... Yeah... You sure it was yesterday?" But he knows there is always a tomorrow... Which tells even more about him.

"Oh boy, we gotta sort this out tomorrow..."

[Addeh]

Hikaru woke up in a room in the inn. "Ugh... I can't believe I was sick on the first day at the academy... I hope I didn't miss too much." He said to himself. He got out of bed and started to do his morning routine. When he finished, he looked in the mirror. "Pants... shirt... jacket..." He mumbled to himself, going over everything, making sure he didn't forget anything. Hikaru fixed his hair and walked to the entrance of the inn. Before he left, he turned to the lady at the front desk. "Thanks for letting me stay here while I was sick!" He thanked her, his only response a nod and smile.

[Nero92]

Rion reached the lake alone.It was a nice day and Rion sat on a rock near the lake.He left his back down after he took the book.He started to read
"Pfff.....nothing special in here....." Rion read the whole book but very fast.He put the book again in the bag and left some shurikens besides him.
He closed his eyes and focused.He was trying to control his chakra.

He stayed there for some time......

The whole area was beautiful.As he was focusing he started thinking of his first day at the Academy. "That teacher was quiet strange.But that man Seki was good with us and serious.I am wondering what is going on in the Academy"
Rion grabbed 2 shurikens with each hand and with fast moves throw them with force and striked 2 trees , one to right and one left, straight to the middle of them. "Hmmm.....I am getting better"

After that Rion started training for the 3 homeworks.

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renaki wakes up from his slumber

"well i have alttle while till the academy starts" he says walking out of the door after eating a breakfast of ramen,taking a shower and grabbing some shuriken . He goes to the forest outside of his apartment and practices shuriken throwing. He throws 50 shuriken over a period of 10 minutes. All of the dummies hanging from trees are letered with shuriken all over their body.

"hmm only 2 on the ground" he says averging his hit ratio. He then decides to practice henge bunshin combo. He forms the handsigns then creates a bunshin then in the smoke uses a henge to turn it into a shuriken. It pffs away due to its large chakra cost. He continue practicing bunshin for 10 minutes then henge for another 15 afterwards he is exausted and begins to head home.

"That could get me to pass through the academy if all else fails" he says walking back into his apartment. He grabs a scroll and begins to study battle strategy and exucution.

[Vergil]

Kenji looked at the blind girl and wondered what he could do with her. Her ability to detect was as good as the Hyuuga's eyes, but her skill in the others basics was well below par. He remembered she could sense that the teacher was a kage bunshin from distance, he created a kage bunshin and made it stand in front of the dummy.

"Yuki, try now. Perhaps you can sense the chakra and aim? I dunno."

He gave some more tips to the others, correcting stance and arm movements. He reached Kevato

"Excellent. Now try what I did in the classroom." He handed Kevato several pieces of chalk. "Turn these into kunai."

The Timid girl was throwing the Kunai almost as well as Raito, she had only focussed on that the entire afternoon, he was sure she would do better if her hair was off her face.

He approached Raito, who had been jumping in the air throwing shuriken, the girls sighed and giggled. He looked at the green blob of a bunshin and saw the majority were having problems with this technique. They would need to do the walking up trees exercise, but he would leave that until tomorrow.

It was getting late and the kids had trained for many hours. He would allow a few more minutes and then order them to go home. Some already had through exhaustion, those that were left had built up impressive stamina for their age but was resolute in thinking that they needed their rest.

[Addeh]

Hikaru walked through the streets, not really going anywhere, just waiting until it was time to go to the academy. "Hmm... I wonder if there are any nice people there... Although I really ought to get breakfast first..." He said and walked to the ramen shop and sat down. "One small bowl of ramen, please." He ordered.

"Right away." The man at the counter said and turned around, starting to make the ramen.

Hikaru sighed and looked at the counter blankly. "God.... I better not be behind too badly. I don't need to fail because of being sick for one day." He said and waited for his ramen to be done.

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma sits cross legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Unlike some of his other classmates, who seemed to just blindly meander through trial and error in their training, he had developed a more systematized approach to training.

First he works on his chakra control trying to find the exact proportions necessary to refine his Henge, and Bunshin techniques. This is very taxing on his body and draining because it really is a trial an error process trying to figure out the best ratios necessary but he was slowly getting to the point where he was making the chakra flow more efficient, which would allow him to conserve his chakra and be more effective in applying his Jutsu.

He feels his inner chakra and he does his best to focus it across different parts of his body, making it flow like water. While he does this, he keeps repeatedly forming the hand signs for, Bunshin and Henge, over and over again. The seals were like second nature to him now and he just concentrated on forming them even faster.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Nobody home yet, and Koguro had to watch the fruitstall again till daddy came. Customers passed by and checked up on the goods before heading straight on their way.

It had been several hours and the kid still got no job to do. Fresh fruits hadn't arrived since yesterday, and behind the glass lay everykind of fruits, half filling the store stall.

But no more passed to have a look on the goods. Early in the morning wasn't the right time for food business to run smoothly. Anyway, Koguro would have class in no time and the store would be again temporary halted unless dad came home. The kid had been playing with fruits ever since, an apple, an orange and a pear respectively and repeatedly hit the wall and back to his hands like consecutive pinballs. Koguro had been playing with fruits in boredom since the time he had first learnt to say 'dad', thus throwing and aiming shouldn't be too much a problem.

He thought back about the kunais yesterday. Kunais weren't fruits. They killed, they were light, and they were even faster. Above all they were harder to control than round objects. But with good arms and sense implicitly trained with the bad fruits, Koguro wasn't too nervous on the subject. He wondered what today lesson would be.

He had read through the guides yesterday evening and had done what they told. Chakra control, it was a hell of a problem. The book showed a cursory guide through the chakra system, and Koguro found it somewhat interesting. But the right methods to practice it was, like the guides said: floating on water and walking on tree with the surface in bare contact with the feet. And now that was nuts.

However, curiosity had won over reluctance. Koguro had tried out the techniques, and it did turn out funny, but only funny, like an apple turning into a stone when he called a pear.

[Nero92]

Rion was still on the rock and focusing his spirit and chakra.He knew that the key to perform every jutsu is to learn manipulate the chakra within your body.
Rion was focusing all day......
Suddenly he felt something.It was his chakra that was releasing into his body.
"That's it, I can do it.." he wispered and continue his exercise.
As he was there suddenly a wind surrounded him.A strange strong aura surrounded him.Everything near him started flowing away.......

And it stopped........

A smile on Rion's face.He was really confident and sure for what he was doing.
"Time for some jutsus"
Rion started doing hand seals.Over and over again as fast as he could."I have to get faster"

[Kuno]

Kiya continues to try the henge technique. Each attempt brings her closer to perfecting it but it will still take some practice. “I’m exhausted…” she says to herself as she leans back against the tree. “And, I haven’t even attempted the other two yet…” Kiya says with a sigh.

She leans back and watches the others around the training ground. She sees some of the girls giggling over one of the guys and rolls her eyes. A few students are doing like her and sitting to the side but several are practicing their shuriken and kunai. Kiya watches those practicing their weapons as she plays with one of her kunai. She tries to analyze their techniques to help her with her own.

Kiya sighed and stood up as the long day was weighing heavily on her. She got ready to head out so she could get home and rest. She had a feeling she was going to need it with this sensei.

[Vergil]

Kenji looked at the time, they had trained hard and it was time for them to rest up. He knew that they wanted to do this all night but without proper rest they would be useless tomorrow. Besides, he had to get home or his wife would suplex him through a wall,

"Right kids! time's up! You all did good today. I want you all here bright and early and I'll teach you something that'll make the henge, kawarami and the bunshin a lot easier. I absolutely forbid any more training, you'll have a tough enough time getting out of bed in the morning. Hit the books if you want and study the theory behind all this if you want. Now, Scram!"

He watched as the kids left saying goodbye. Some had made friends, others were so involved in their training that they didn't talk to others. He would fix that tomorrow. but for now he would rest and wait for another day

***************

Kenji was busy setting up pranks for the kids all over the academy. He laughed to himself, he knew he wasn't going to be the most popular but it was important for them to always be on their toes. He had rigged the dummies, the water fountain, the vending machine some of the chairs and the doors.

"aw man this is gonna be great!" he laughed silently

It was still an hour to go before class. The Hyuuga walked in and dodged the chalk duster that was about to fall on his head. He had his byakugan on and saw Kenji in his invisible form setting up a trap by the window. The hyuuga shook his head and sat down on his seat

Kenji smiled. "This kid is good" he thought as he waited for more kids to arrive

[Nero92]

"Yes, I made it.Finally I am done with this homework."
Rion grabbed his back and put it under his head as he felt asleep.

----------------------------------------


At the Academy with Seki...........

The man with the black coat was walking to the big hall of the Academy.
It was night and some torches was lightning his way.
Seki reached a big wooden door.
"Only one way to open this door"
Seki touched the door with his palm and said some strange words.
The door opened and as Seki walked inside the door closed again.
It was a dark room with with 2 torches only at each side.
The walls were made of hard rock.
There was a bed and a wooden table with a chai.In one side there was a big place with many many books.Everything was there.From secret and prohibited jutsus to terrible events and others.
Seki sat to the chair and opened an old heavy book.He was turning over the pages..."There are so many things for the students to learn.They don't know nothing yet but they have to learn."
Seki stood up and moved to the bed.He felt asleep in 3 seconds.

[Addeh]

Hikaru got up after finishing his ramen and started to walk through the town again. If only I could find someone else who is going to the academy... I could find out what we learned." He said and sighed, starting to walk toward the academy, watching as it got closer to him. "I want to learn... I need to learn." He said and walked up to the building.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro had finished with his little trick and tossed all three fruits to the stall. He got the key from the pocket of a jacket hanging on the wall, stepped out and locked the door. Only one more hour till class, and he had better get going. The new teacher was gonna be harsh, according to what he had witnessed within the first day.

Sun started to rise and the streets started to wake up, Koguro spun his key as he walked through the dawn life. The day was beautiful, any day without a rain should be when at dawn.

Streets stayed silent, it seemed like Koguro was one of the earliest to come to class, no other figures running along.

The first day ended pretty well with a new friend and a... weird teacher, an ace at kunai and some peculiarity at the basic ninjutsus, but the next day was gonna be different.

Koguro arrived at the gate. No guards there, the entire academy sank in darkness. Something bothered him. He cautiously walked through the gate and waited for whatever to happen. Nothing yet. Koguro sighed in relieve and continued to make his way to the classroom.

The stairway was slippery at some point, and the kid was just about to fall down some time. He raised an eyebrow. There was definitely something wrong.

Then he made it to the classroom upstairs, the class looked peculiar, only one had arrived sooner than him and was sitting staring at him still like somewhat a challenge. Koguro wasn't the easy type, but he definitely would hold back something that would be regrettable later.

Koguro noticed a very slight smirk on the Byakugan kid, who wasn't looking at him anymore, and decided there was definitely something to be cautious. He walked past the door...

...nothing happened.

Koguro glanced at the Byakugan kids before continuing making the way to his seat. Normally people would find his fashion hilarious. But who knew that cocky Hyuuga would leave something that would make him felt much much more hilarious afterwards?

He made it to his seat at the end of the class without a thing yet, Koguro was about to take the seat when he cautiously glanced at the Hyuuga.

Then he kicked the chair, it collapsed into chalks... Uh huh... A henge. What would he look like if he really took the seat. That boy was... But he didn't believe a Hyuuga freshman could do such thing... transforming the chalks to a chair.

He clutched his fist and seeked the next seat, kicked it, nothing happened, and punched it, touched it and pressed it...

Nothing yet. Koguro sighed and took a seat. But then he saw a white mark on the table. Something told him to get away, and just as he jumped out of the chair a empty bucket fell down on where he had sat.

Koguro glanced at the Hyuuga, not much of an expression, before finally sitting in peace.

[Addeh]

Hikaru walked into the academy, slightly lost. He looked around cautiously. "Hmm... Where is the classroom I need to be in?" He wondered. He looked into a few rooms, not finding the room he needed to be in. He finally found the room and nervously walked in. "Well then.... This is pretty empty." He said looking around the room and took a seat. He looked at the few people there, a blank look on his face.

[Vergil]

Kenji watched as Koguro came in and displayed perfect observation skills. He wouldn't have to teach this kid much about questioning surroundings, nor the Hyuuga. Other kids came in and fell, slipped and got hit on the head with various things. Kenji sniggered silently, he would allow for some self study and allow for more traps to be triggered.

Kenji would need to teach the kids about chakra control in order for their ninjutsu to go smoother. There would be a lot of bruises tonight as they would try and walk up trees, in truth they didn't need Kenji just yet. He had written "Walk up trees! page 56-66! Then try the Jutsus - should help." They would be able to teach themselves as was the way of ninjas. They couldn't always have someone to hold their hand through it.

He would watch over them and tend to any injuries should they need assisstance. For now he just found great amusement as more and more traps triggered. One girl screamed as she was covered in flour

[darthsauron]

Kairon ran through the streets of the Hidden Mist Village. He was extremely annoyed with himself, he couldn't bring the Hidden Mist to power if he was late. He ran into the academy and looked around. He saw a classroom filled with students and ran in. "Hey! This is the advanced class. You're not allowed." A teacher grabbed Kairon and threw him into the classroom 12-13 year olds.

The teacher in the room looked at him and glared. "This is the first day of the academy and you are extremely late. I hope you are prepared to face the consequences." "Of course." As Kairon sat down, some of the other students began to laugh. He glared at them and looked at his desk. "Now back to the lesson. Your homework is to master the transformation jutsu within four days. All who don't will be expelled. Get to work!" the teacher barked. The kids gulped, grabbed their supplies and ran out. Kairon slowly got up after they had left and followed.

After they had left, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared. "They cannot keep up with Konoha's rookies. Only one tenth of them with make chunin, and maybe one or two might make special jounin. But we need more that. Make them work as hard as possible. Keep them on edge. Do not give in to demands by the parents. I will deal with anyone who complains." "Of course. I will inform you how everything goes." The cloaked figure disappeared.

Kairon removed his eye from the keyhole. He had heard the entire conversation. "I will defy all expectations. I will rise to become the most powerful shinobi the Mist has ever known," he vowed to himself. He headed to his house and began to train.

[Cursed panda]

Shark woke up in a street he pased out walking around konoha. "Damn i got to get to teh academy!" He got up he ached all over he ran towards the academy panting as he did. He reached the gate's of teh academy two guard's looked at him both looked tired one yawned the other looked at Shark.

"Your late it seems." "Yeah well I slept in teh street i was so tired so let me in!" "Go ahead." Shark ran ion after the guard said that he ran down teh hall toward's his class room. As he walked in a chalk kuani was aimed for his head one of kenji's traps. Shark put up his foot in way of the kuani as it hit his foot it turned to chalk. shark began now to walk to his seat in the back seeing every one read the ninjutsu book about tree walking. He sat down and began to read the same page as it was marked on teh blackboard aswell. As he read he turned a page and flour dumped on himhe toke of his goggle's and kept reading. "Gota do better then that kenji." He said as he kept reading.

[Nero92]

Rion opened his eyes "Oh crap.I am late."
He slept on the rock all night because he was tired.
Rion grabbed his bag and started running.
"How many damn hours I am sleeping?"
Rion continue running as he was not far away from the Academy.
He arrived but he saw 2 guards at the gates.Rion hided behind a tree and made the circle to the wall of the Academy "Ahh I must do this to get inside"
Rion made something like a hand seal and jumped higher than a normal human.
He reached the other side and now headed for the doors of the Academy.He opened them and walked inside.He knew that his late arrival would made Keni upset.He saw some kunai on the floor but he continue running to the classroom.
He found the right door and opened it. "Hello dudes"
He was clam and without seeing any teacher walked and sat to his desk.He glanced all the other kids and saw that they all were reading their books.Rion saw the note and opened the book too to the right pages. "Kinobori no Waza?"
As he turned one more page he saw another similar technique "Suimen Hokou no Waza?"
Rion closed his eyes for a second."Oh now I got it.The one is the technique of tree climbing and the other is the Act of water surface walking.I should read and study for both"

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma sits bored at his desk and sighs. He had barely made it to class in time and he felt dead tired from training all night. While most of the students in the classroom are reading their books, trying to study the mysteries of tree walking and water walking, Kazuma's book lays closed on his desk. He yawns, "That's the last time I pull an all nighter again..." It had taken him the whole night to read all of his required Ninjutsu books but he had finished at around sun up.

The fact was that Kazuma had been born with a photographic memory and he could remember every little detail of every memory in his life all the way since age one. Plus, he had no problem retaining vast quantities of information quickly. "Yawn...." Kazuma's eyelids droop. I've already read all the books he thinks, and he drops his head onto his desk, to sleep.

Sadly he has yet to find out that all that book knowledge will mean absolutely nothing when he actually gets out in the field. Kazuma in his arrogance has forgotten that just because you've mastered the theory, it doesn't mean that you can actually execute it in the real world.

[Nero92]

Rion looks back and see the boy sleeping on his book.
"Hey man, you better wake up."
The boy ignored him
"Ok, well I want to see you when Kenji appear"
Rion turns in front again and starts reading the book again.
After some minutes he turns back again
"What is your name dude?"

[StrawHat4Life]

"Yaaaaawwwn...." Kazuma leans his head up but not all the way and looks with his droopy eyes at the kid. He's got weird black spikey hair and bluish silver eyes. "My name is Kazuma....what's your's?" but then Kazuma lays his head back down and starts snoring.

He dreams of flying chalk that look like kunai and strange instructors showing up at his house and dragging him back to class. "Henge...." he mutters in his sleep, "Chalk of doom...."

[Nero92]

"I am Rion, but forget it.....goodnight dude"
Rion look in his book again.
All the students that were in the classroom were reading the books.Nobody wanted to make Kenji upset.

Suddenly they heard someone coming from the hall.
All the students were staring at the door to see who will come in

[Vergil]

kenji saw kazuma sleeping and in his invisible state, poured a bucket of water over him.

"if you have time to sleep, then get out the class and climb the trees. it shouldn't take people THAT long to memorize this! "


"pair up! you'll do better if you have someone competing against you. I don't care who with. ill be watching. whoever loses out of the pair will be running 20 laps of the circuit! get to it!"
the hyuuga was already outside, paired with the timid girl. both found a pair of trees and were attempting to run up them, looking at their books as they fell. they marked their progress on the tree with a slash of their kunai. the other students ran out following their lead

[Addeh]

Hikaru was completely confused. He looked around with an uncertain look. "I don't.... pages? In what? UGH! I missed the first day and now I am lost... completely lost." He said, irritated. He looked around some more. Hikaru sighed and looked for someone to partner with.

[Vergil]

kenji looked at the new student. he looked confused and he remembered that there was a student who was sick.

he approached him and explained what he had missed.

"you're a bit behind but I'm sure you'll be fine. now pair up and practice your chakra control. if you need to know anything in particular just ask." kenji disappeared in a puff of smoke. it was a kage bunshin

he continued to observe

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma walks out onto the field, absolutely drenched, his wet boots slosh around on the grass. Strangely he couldn't find a towel anywhere and he suspects that was also Kenji's doing. "That was unnecessary...sensei...I know you can hear me," he grumbles.

He strides towards the tree line and looks around, to the far right he can see the "timid" girl already practicing with that Hyuuga kid. Kazuma just stands there with his arms folded and wonders who to partner with.

He looks around and sees the kid who had woken him up in class, Rion is his name, "Maybe I should ask him?" he says to himself, "Anyone will do really..."

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai carefully scanned tge class for a partner his eyes moving left then right.

"hmmph why do you even need a partner for chakra control anyway he thought to himself" He got up from his seat and walked across the class room over to where to where hikaru was currently sitting

"Do you wanna be my partner for the chakra control lesson I already know a little about it so it shouldnt be hard having me as your partner" he asked nicely which was a rather rare trait for him.

"Im hoping to get it over with so he could move on to more serious training. You know what I mean?' he askes looking at hikaru

[Cursed panda]

Shark looked around teh class he was covered with flour still. " Hmmm who to pick who to pick any one well do just gotta make sure i an beat them i well run 20 lap's anyway i wanna become stronger!"" He walkedo ut itno teh feild after he finished reading teh book looking for a partner.

" Any opne wanna be my partner yeah i know i look funny with teh flour but i well be a good partner." He had a smirk on his face as he took of his goggles and wiped the flou of them. He put them back on his face. For all training or fighting he wore his goggles.

He looked at the tree now still waiting for a partner. "Well i read the book once i get partner let's see if i can do this!"

[Addeh]

Hikaru shrugged. "I guess..." He said, accepting Renkai's offer. "I missed yesterday so I have a few things to catch up on, but I won't get in your way." He added. He started to walk towards the door and looked back. I hope this isn't to hard... He thought.

[Kuno]

Kiya sighed grabbing her book and walking outside. She watched warily around her waiting for more traps. She felt like a rabbit being stalked by a fox. “This can’t be healthy….” she mumbled to herself as she went outside. She saw someone looking as if they needed a partner so she figured she would talk to him since she herself was partner less.

Kiya smiled tentatively at the boy covered in flour. “I heard you say you were looking for a partner….” she said shyly to him. “I am looking for a partner too…” Kiya then looked at the tree and looked back at him. “If you don’t mind…we can work together…by the way I am Kiya Asasame…” she said as she flipped open the book and awaited his answer.

[»•Paiñ•«]

"Great dont worry I usually pay attention fairly well also I have some scrolls here with the instruction on how to do yesterdays homework" renkai says surprised hikaru hadnt made fun of his eyes like everyone else. He felt confused normally no one wanted to be around him renkai felt happy that hikaru had said yes. Renaki opens the scroll and begins to study with hikaru

"You know the jutsu in here arent hard as long as spend the write amount of chakra, if you spend to much you waste chakra and become exausted but if you use to little the jutsu wont work.So you have to get the distribution just write. Thats why these jutsu are difficult." he says shaeing what he learned the other day.

[Addeh]

Hikaru got a slight smile and read over the scrolls. "Thanks. Hmm... Henge, Bunshin, and Kawarimi..." He said and followed the instructions. "Henge!" He turned into a messed up Renkai, his right hand and left foot were switched with each other, the hair was the wrong color, the eyes were miscolored, Hikaru was still the same height, and not Renkai's. He looked where his right hand should be and saw a foot. "I don't think I have this one down..." He said, chuckling a little.

[»•Paiñ•«]

"heheh I dont think so either" renkai laughed it was the first time he'd laughed in a long time he was enjoying the time he had with his new partner.

"henge" says transforming into hikari everthing was right.

"It just takes practice and good chakra control...just picture what you want to turn into though" he says transforming back into himself. "Hmm Im actaully starting to like this place" renkai thinks to himself after having someone awknowledge him as something other than a monster.

[the_sloth]

-With Raito-

He's running through the town again.
Raito: Crap! This time I'm definitely going to be late! Thanks a lot dad.

-Earlier-

The young boy was sleeping in his bed.
Raito: ZZZzzzzz
Dad: WAKE UP BOY AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!
SPLASH
His father poured a bucket of water over Raito.
Raito: What the hell was that for!?
Dad: A ninja must be ready for anything!
Raito: You're an idiot!
Dad: O~~~~~~~~~~~~~h really?

He took out numerous shuriken and looked at Raito menacingly.
Raito: Wh-what are you going to do?
Dad: Your kawarimi skills for your age are quite good, but your bushin and henge skills are horrible. Create a number of bushins, and I'm going to guess which one is the real you and throw one of these at you.
Raito: Just calm down. I'm nowhere near re-
Dad: SILENCE! Let us begin! RAH!
He throws a shuriken and Raito, who dodges it.
Raito: I WASN'T READY!
Dad: Then get ready. I'm throwing this one in 8. 7. 6....
Raito performed the hand signals with such speed, you could barely see what he was doing. 5 bushins appear, barely even looking like Raito.
Dad: Pathetic! RAH!
He throws his shuriken straight at the real Raito again.

-Present-

Raito has made it to the academy and find his classroom.
Raito: Hey, the door is fixed.
He opens the door quickly.
Raito: Sorry I'm late!

[Cursed panda]

Shark looked at the girl hes vision was still a bit messed up since h didn't get all teh flour of his goggles. "Sure partners i am Shark Kyomasuki." He had a smile as he cracked his knuckles.

"So i see you didn't get hit by any of Kenjis traps? He looked at the tree. "Well lets give this a shot!" He closed his eye's as he stood before the tree. He tried putting his chakra into his feet like it said to do in the book. He ran at the tree he wasn't running to fast. As hes foot hit the tree he fell back wards. "Ouch....." He got up and ran at it again this time his foot stood there he put his other foot on it and fell back wards. "Ok you can give it a shot!"

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma sees everyone else pairing up, "I'd better get a partner..." he walks towards the boy called Rion and waves his hand towards him. "Hi...I'm the sleeping guy remember?" he says, "Hey uh do you wanna partner on this..."

He quickly throws two Kunai into the ground between them, "Whoever makes it up the tree first has to do the others written homework for a week," and then he grins at Kion, "So is it a deal?"

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Everyone around appeared to have started their work with a proper partner. The thing was, students number was odd, at least for today, and the unlucky one was Koguro. Everytime he had spotted a single kid someone else went talk to him or her right before Koguro could reach. And after a while of spinning around seeking partners, which was boring and meaningless, Koguro ended up alone. He nodded to himself and raised an eyebrow. The job should better be done from the beginning, and a considerable amount of time had been wasted looking for partners.

After all who needed a partner? He would compete with himself and no one would run a lap.

He approached a tree nearby. Something told him to check first. Who knew whether he would fall miserably right after he put his feet on the tree which turned out to be a huge bunch of chalks?

Then he did a inane combo of touching, pressing, even licking the leaves. The tree was a tree, and he should wait no more.

Koguro flipped through the pages and stopped at the tree walking guide. These types of academy guides never instructed anything in detail. They just told straight to control chakra and put it right in the tree and imagine, and that had better be helpful... Or else...

Koguro put a foot on the tree and tried to push chakra through it. This was the easy part, as immediately blue chakra glowed around it. He tried to lift the other foot up to see if his foot could really attach to the tree. And of course that failed, not so miserably becaused he didn't fall, but now he knew he couldn't trust the guide.

There should be wiser ways to practice this.

[Kuno]

Kiya shakes her head "Lucky for me the traps had mostly been sprung by the time I got here..." she said looking around just in case.

Kiya watches Shark as he attempts to go up the tree. And, cringes as he hit’s the ground. She opens the book and reads a little. Then nods as he told her to try. “Alright….” she says to him as she sets her book down and looks at the tree.

She thinks back at what her mother had taught her about chakra control. “Okay mom, let’s see if I can do this like you showed me….” she mumbles and runs toward the tree and forces the chakra to her feet. She gets three steps up and falls backward. She lands hard. Hard enough it knocks the wind out of her. Kiya gasps for a breath a little then gets up coughing.

Kiya backs up a little ways and tries again. She runs and gets four steps up and slashes the tree with a kunai this time. Though once again falls. This time though she curls a little and gets to keep her breath. She looks to Shark chuckling a little. “Harder than it sounds isn’t it…” Kiya says with a smile as she stands and motions to him. “Your turn…” she says as she steps back and watches again.

[Nero92]

"Hey, dude.Yes I remember.You are Kazuma."
Rion smiles to him.
"Hmm.....well I think that is a good idea to be partners man."
Rion looks at the kunais in front of him on the ground.
"So, it is a deal.Let's do this."
The boys get ready "Hey dude, with 3."
Rion starts counting "1......2....3"

------------------------------------

"Hehehe I won."
"Oh, then I have to do your homework too"
"Nah, no problem man.Well it will will be good for us to train and do our homeworks alone.So don't bother about it."
Rion looks at the others trying to walk to the trees.
"Hey dude, did you read about the water surface walking?I think that is more interesting.What you tell about run from the class and going to the lake to train on that?"

[Addeh]

Hikaru concentrated his chakra to his feet and took out a kunai. "This... looks hard." He said, already having a plan in his head. "I bet I can get it faster than you." Hikaru challenged with a laugh. "What do you say? Loser owes the winner some ramen." He added.

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai begins to climb the tree. He runs up while focousing his chakra on his feet. He get 1 quarter ways up the tree then the bark snaps from too much pressure and he falls

"To much chakra" he says readjusting his chakra to flow with a little less chakra. This time he finds the right balance and scales the tree. He reaches the top after two more tries. He leaves a kunai at the top and decides to take a brake

"Your turn hikaru but it looks like im having ramen for lunch" he says wondering if hikaru could even reach the top.

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma looks irritatedly at the tree. There are dozens of scratch marks and all the way towards the top, Nero's scratch mark had just barely edged out Kazuma's. How the hell did he get up there before I did? he thinks to himself, I read all the books already. Kazuma still doesn't realize that mastery of theory is no match for actual experience.

He looks around at the others. Some are making excellent progress while others not so much. "Yeah sure," he sighs, "Lets do the water walking exercise," he says.

They both head towards the lake, closely on the lookout for crazy flying chalk that may or may not be Kunai, and any other lunatic traps that Kenji may have set. "He probably put a sea monster in the lake," mumbles Kazuma.

[Nero92]

Rion starts laughing....."A sea monster...!!!"
"Hey, did you see the 2 kids that were alone?"
Suddenly a kunai passed between them.
"That damn Kenji again"
"Yeah, he is crazy"
They 2 boys arrived at the lake.
"Well are you ready to do this?I don't know about you but I will take my Jacket off."Rion left with his jeans and his black T-shirt.
Kazuma glanced Rion's right hand.He saw a strange tattoo symbol like Ying-Yang.He knew that it was not a simple tattoo
Rion walked closer to the lake as he was ready to try the water technique.
"I hope not to see any sea monster"

[the_sloth]

Raito went outside and saw all the others trying to run up trees.

Raito: Hmm, seems easy enough.

He places his foot against one of the trees and tries to move up. He just slides and faceplants into the tree.

Raito: Hmm, seems I forgot to concentrate my chakra.
He took a few steps back and took out a kunai. He threw it at the tree, hitting a relatively high point.
Raito: You're all gonna see a master at work!
He charges a the tree. He sends chakra down to his feet. They begin glowing blue.
Raito: RA~~~HH!
As soon as his first foot makes contact with the tree, he is sent flying back.
Raito: Ouch... obviously, there was too much chakra that time. If I just even it out though, I should be able to get that hang of this sooner or later.

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma looks out across the crystal clear blue lake. He feels drained from the tree walking exercise and looks at Rion, then he notices the strange Yin and Yang symbol on his right hand. That's weird, he thinks.

Just as he is about to comment on it, he sees Rion stride towards the water. "Hey maybe its not such a good idea to rush...." Before he can finish his sentence, Rion steps right onto the water and then grins back towards Kazuma holding the thumbs up sign.

Kazuma's eyes widen, "Thats impossible..." and he's right because literally a millisecond later, Splash! Rion falls straight into the frigid water like a stone. Kazuma collapses onto the ground, laughing like a lunatic.

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai watches other students try to walk on water so he decides to focous on the tree rather than water. He climes a rather large tree about 35ft tall not that large but still good enough to provide good training. He climbs as best he can and gets half way. He concentrates intently on his chakra and gets a bit further.

"just a little bit more" he says urging himself on finally after 30 more minutes and nearly 50 kunai slashes he makes it to the top.

"alrig..." he stops realizing he needs to rest. he goes down to the lake to relax and watch rion and kazuma try to walk on water.He wonders why they are dis obeying kenji knowing that he was a little insane to begin with he didnt want to know hw he was when he was mad.

[Nero92]

Rion's head comes out of the water "Hey dude, don't laugh.I did it for a while"
Rion comes out of the water and walks closer to Kazuma.
"Why don't you try?"
Kazuma gets ready and tries to focus his chakra to his feet.
Kazuma puts his right foot on the water.Then the left foot on the water too.
"Ohh...interesting" Rion thinks.
Kazuma stayd for a while on the water when he tried to walk and then .....SPLASH!
"Told ya"
Kazuma comes out of the water too."Now my turn.Watch carefully"
Rion goes near the water and closes his eyes.Suddenly his tattoo on his right arm started glowing.Kazuma saw it.
"Look...." Rion starts walking on the water like he was on the ground
He moved forward a little bit and then jumped on the land again.
He landed with his hands on the ground and his face down.He moved his face up and looked Kazuma "That's how I do it"

[Vergil]

Kenji looked at the tree Kazuma and rion were working on. He walked up it and after 5 steps was on top of the tree.

"This isn't a tree! it's a shrub! Where are those jokers?!" Kenji said. He looked around and saw 3 academy students at the lake. He turned invisible and went to their position.

He sneaked up behind them unnoticed and silently put them under a genjutsu. What they saw was a massive sea monster rising from the depths of the lake and roaring at them ferociously.

"Get out of here!" Kenji screamed as he pretended to battle it, "I'll hold it off. Tell the Hokage!! Arrrgh!"

It was a trick he often used to scare kids. The hokage knew about it and would give them an hour long lecture about getting ahead of yourself and the importance of taking things slowly

[»•Paiñ•«]

Renkai scared out of his mind when he saw a giant sea monster appear out of te lake. Then he saw kenji sensei appear and begin fighting. He heard his sensei's orders and ran to get the hokage.

"yes sensei" he yells running with the other to the hokage's he had thought about helping sensei but knew he would be ok. He hadnt perfected his water walking justu so he decided it would be faster if he swam the rest of the way. Once he reached the end of the lake he jumped out and began running to the village to get help.

[Nero92]

Rion smiled when he saw the sea monster as he his hobby is to battle.
He eyes were going read with yello color and the aura started surrounding him again.But then Kazuma knocked him at his back and throw them his bag. "Catch it and run bro"
The aura vanished and his eyes came to normal.Rion grabbed his bag and started running with Kazuma back to the Academy.

Kenji saw the strange change of Rion but he didn't say nothing.

[Addeh]

Hikaru ran at the tree, chakra concentrated on his feet. He made it half-way up before falling. "A constant flow..." He said and charged at the tree again, making it all the way up. He decided to sit on a branch. "Chakra control isn't THAT hard." He said, even though he had practiced chakra control many times before, making the task quite easy.

[Vergil]

kenji walked back to the tree climbing kids, on the whole they were doing well. the hyuuga who was used to fine chakra control was beginning to stick to the tree and taking a few steps up. his partner was also doing well, though timid she seemed to have decent chakra control. kenji didn't expect them to master it, it was way too early for that, but at least get a sense of what they were controlling.

he looked around at the other students and was surprised to see some doing so well. some had taken 10 steps up, they must have had previous training on this.

it was enough chakra control for now.
"right! enough chakra control." kenji grinned. "now then well move onto taijutsu, then free training for a few hours."

"gather round folks and copy this combination." he did a series of kicks and punches and corrected their technique. after a while he stopped.

"next up sparring. try and not kill each other ok. its just to practice your technique....now then partners..."

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

*Before*

"Hope this isn't cheating." Koguro said as he rubbed viciously at the tree surface with a stone. Slashes and abrasions were clear on the spot where Koguro intended to place his feet on.

"We always have to start from the first." He nodded to himself not considering that a cheating trick.

Then Koguro started to focus his chakra on the foot again and stuck it to one of the abrashed spots on the tree. "Come on, come on..." He mumbled to himself as he raised the other foot.

Koguro was able to hang himself in midair with one foot on the tree for a while before his glee dragged himself out of focus and unstuck the foot from the tree, dropping him on one foot.

"That's it..." He smiled to himself and started to stay calm. He grabbed two stones and rubbed them crazily on the spots he intended to step on, and in no time the lower part of the tree was filled with abrasion spots.

Koguro bit his lips and started to carefully walk on the tree, placing his foot exactly at the spots he rubbed.

He reached the height of seven steps before putting the foot on an unrubbed spot an sliding back on the ground... Anyway, he thought he knew the way to practice this.

*After*

Kenji-sensei mentioned Taijutsu. "This... is my land." Koguro smirked and at the same time he looked stupid. His sentence was after all bearing some meaning. He might not be that excellent at Taijutsu... but... he had none to match...right now. He meant he was alone...

[Nero92]

Rion and Kazuma returned to the Academy.
They saw that now they had to practice in Taijutsu.
"Wait me here.I have to go take something"
"Ok dude, I wait you here"
Rion sat on the ground near the other kids.
Kenji saw him and walked to him."Hey kid, why aren't you training ?"
"I wait my partner sir"
"Fine, but when he will reutrn don't forget to train together in Taijutsu"
"Yes sir"
Kenji disappeared
Rion was waiting Kazuma and then they could fight together for fun.

[Vergil]

kenji looked at koguro. he was eager but had noone to fight, he did the tree exercise on his own too. he would have to have a word about hi tree climbing technique though.

all the kids had already paired up but there were odd numbers. kenji created a kagebunshin and henged it so it would be child size.

"koguro fight me!" chibi kenji said, " I have a thing or two to teach you about tree climbing too."

chibi kenji started off with a jumping kick, which was blockable if fast enough.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

All was a sudden. Koguro was standing looking stupid when a henged kage bunshin greeted him with no more than 3 seconds before instantly launching a flying kick at his face.

Koguro raised his arms and crossed them before his head to barely block the kick, but was sent flying backwards about a yard. He flipped up, took out a kunai. This was his sensei's kage bunshin, only mentally disabled students held back when fighting such a partner.

Koguro was pretty confident with his weapon control, especially round circular objects like fruits. Kunai was not like round at all, though, but at least he was used to throwing and catching things in fast pace.

He rushed forwards and launched two kunai to throw at Kenji's bunshin. They flew pretty fast and would hit the target in the nose if he stood unmoving.

[Vergil]

kenjis clone sidestepped the kunai and caught one in his mouth.

"taijutsu! hand to hand combat! you must at least know that!" he said. "no weapons. now lets see what you got." chibi kenji executed a straight punch to the face with his right, then followed it up with a straight snap kick to the midsection with his right leg. it would make blocking difficult with one arm.

meanwhile the real kenji was debating to himself about partners.
"ah! screw it! choose a partner yourself and spar. hand to hand and try out the combos I taught you. iron style not gentle fist!" he glared at the hyuuga.

he would supervise but leave them to spar. he was interested to see who would pan out.

[the_sloth]

Raito was still trying to climb up the tree with his chakra. At that moment, a meteor started descending from the heavens.

Raito: W-what is that?...
His father popped out of nowhere.
Dad: ITS A KRYPTONITE METEOR! GET OUT OF THE WAY SON!

The meteor made contact with Raito's chest, pushing him back, but he was trying to resist it.

Dad: Fight it son! FIGHT IT!
Raito: RRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
There was a large green flash. Raito's father covered his eyes to prevent blinding himself.
Dad: S-son?
There was a green glow coming from where Raito was.
Dad: What happened to you?
Raito's body was glowing green and he was floating ominously.
Raito: The kryptonite and I have become one. I have become a higher being. A god.
Dad: How?
Raito: A spiritual being had sent me down to do his bidding and you and mother were chosen to raise me.
Dad: What does this mean?
Raito: I am a god. I can do what I like.
Dad: !?
Raito: Would you like to see mother again?
Dad: More than anything in the world.
His eyes teared up.
Raito: I can bring her back to this world, or you can be with her in the spirit world for all eternity.
Dad: I want to be with her forever.
Raito: So be it. When you leave this physical world, there will be no recollection of either your or my existence. It will be like we had never existed at all. Nobody will have any memories of us.
Dad: Ok...
Raito: When you see mom, tell her I said hi.
He smiled at his father as he began to ascend towards the heavens.
Raito: My work hear is done. Live and prosper everyone. You will have no recollection of ever meeting me. Farewell.

In a green flash he vanished, wiping everyone's memory of him ever existing.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro lowered his head to dodge the punch and curled down, placing both his hands in front of his midsection to reduce the damage from the kick. He took it anyway, since it was too fast for him to handle properly. His left arm went purple with a wide bruise. Koguro looked at it as he was driven backwards. Kenji might have held back, but even that would drive Koguro heavily beaten if he didn't come up with the right strategy.

He thought back and recollected what he had got. No weapons, plain ground, some little stones lying and several trees from quite afar. Koguro knew he wouldn't be a match for Kenji's bunshin in plain combat no matter how he willed to hold back. He would have to use the head... Something unconventional within his ability, something rarely seen and rather unpredictable...

...In short, a crazy stupid move.

Koguro tried to look like he was eager to beat up the bunshin. He faked an exaggerated breath out and directly charge at the target... Too many weak spots were exposed on his charging stance. It looked like he was going crazy and attacked without thinking much.

And his face was almost ready to predict a punch coming. It did come, he would have been knocked off flying several yards more, but that wasn't the plan. As long as Kenji's punch came out, Koguro fell straight to the ground on his face holding tight Kenji's ankles... No wonder he would have to bend down to deal with his held ankles...

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Through training until almost midnight, Kevato had succeeded in making Kawairmi, Henge and henging objects. When he woke up the next day he went to the academy and trained on his Bunshin. Poof ! The clone he created had the same features as Kevato did, but the porportions were not the same as Kevato's. So he decided to focus more on the porportions of his clones. Kevato read the pages in the Handbook again, and attempted once more, this time the clone was very close to what Kevato looked like. The only problem was the hands, they looked like a monkeys. Kevato grinded his teeth a little, but dissapated the clone and attempted one more time. This time he got it right. Great, finally I can move on to the Chakra control techniques. Kevato began walking towards the field where everyone else was trying to run up the trees. He looked for a partner to race against.

[Vergil]

Chibi Kenji looked down at Kogoro and laughed. "What can you do in that position? If this was real combat I would have stabbed you, or done an awesome jutsu - my hands are free. You are totally exposed. Although we are only on hand to hand, you need to think about these things kid." He knelt down to ruffle the kids hair

[Cursed panda]

Shark looked at kiya. " Guess now it is tai jutsu. He looked at her and smirked. "I have very bad Tai jutsu so you have a huge advantage here." He cracked his neck and took a step back.

He got into his tai jutsu stance. He had one foot in front of him and one behind him he also made his left hand into a fist. "Go!!!!" He said with out even letting kiya get a word. He threw a punch at her followed my a kick he waited to see if she would catch it or if it would hit. "See told you i cant fight with tai jutsu only basic moves."

[Kuno]

Kiya continues trying to get up the tree but with all the attempts since she started she only got two steps further up. “This is hell….” she thinks as her muscles begin to ache and breathing is getting heavy. She then hears their sensei say it is time for Taijutsu.

Kiya groans inwardly then nods “Right…” she says as Shark got ready. She glances around watching the other students get into fighting stances. The her eyes widen as Kenji-sensei made a clone to fight one of the other students. She watches the fight for a moment then hears Shark yell “Go!” She barely turned her head back before he charged her. Kiya let out a squeak as she saw his fist fly out at her. She moved her head back making him just barely miss her and brought her hands up to block his kick.

“Shark! Give someone a chance! I am not good at this either!” she said jumping back getting ready for another onslaught. As she jumped back though she slammed into somebody. “Oh sorry…” she said blushing slightly as she turned to see who she crashed into.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato got back up not expecting to be knocked over all of a sudden. " Hey ! You should look where your going to jump to next time !" Kevato grinned looking at the girl. He smiled and introduced himself to her, and offered a handshake. Kevato decided that he would try and join this sparring instead, it seemed fun anyways compared to Tree climbing. So Kevato stood watching with Kiya fight the clone of their Sensei, he waited for his chance.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro just lay straight still holding bunshin Kenji's ankles. "But you said no jutsus other than hands and feet. That's why this is reasonable." He sighed. "I mean... come on I threw kunai and you even disagreed with it. This is not real battle since the beginning." Koguro grinned naughtily. "And how am I supposed to do this in real battles? I'm not even a ninja yet... So back to the story..." Koguro said as Kenji started to lower his head. "You mean Taijutsu is about hands, feet"

At this point he pulled his leg back to create a momentum to violently stand up. "AND HEAD!!!" Though it sounded like stupid, Koguro would be pleased to hit his seemingly untouchable target in exchange of his bruised forehead, which was aiming towards the bunshin's chin. If Kenji wasn't planning on this, there would be no way to block.

[Kuno]

Kiya gives him a smile and says “I really am sorry. I was kind of taken by surprise…” she then introduces herself to Kevato as she shakes his hand. She turns back to Shark but glances at Kevato. “If you want to join us….Your welcome…” Kiya says with a smile gracing her lips.

“Alright, I am ready this time…” she says turning serious as she looks at Shark. Kiya brushes her hair back out of her face and takes a defensive stance as she waits for him to begin a barrage again.

[Addeh]

Hikaru realized that he had fallen asleep in the tree, so he jumped back down. He concentrated his chakra to his feet again. "Here I go!" He yelled and charged at the tree. He didn't even make it up one step. He flung backwards.

"Ow... I had hoped that before wasn't just a fluke..." He mumbled as he got up from the ground. He looked around and saw that people were practicing Taijutsu now. He walked around, looking for someone to spar with, seeing that his partner from earlier had left.

[Zoidberg]

Mizuryu sat quietly in his room, flipping the pages of a worn-out book he had procured from his bookcase. Downstairs, his father and grandfather were arguing.

"Dad, Mizuryu is going!" A young man in his late 20s argued to a 57 year old man. "No grandson of mine is going to some academy! I'll train him myself!" He slammed his fist on the wall. "He's already late in the academy! He has to join or he'll never be a ninja!" The young man stared down his father. "What if we let him decide? Mizuryu!"

Inside his room Mizuryu did not hear his grandfather. He was too busy reading. "The Amaterasu is one of the deadliest attacks in the Uchiha's arsenal of jutsu. The flames it creates is able to destroy entire cities, and has been observed to last for an entire week before dissipating, with its only weakness being the high amount of chakra used to employ it. Truly a jutsu of unparalled power that is not to be trifled with.

Authors notes: Sasuke has been getting on my nerves again. He refuses to do 'cleanup' on my last base simply because it does not help with his training. If it weren't for those eyes, I would've fed him to my snakes by now. Which reminds me, Kabuto has forgotten to feed Cuddleberg again. If he forgets to give him his daily rabbits again, then I'll have no choice but to plant his brain on that baboon I caught yesterday. And no, Cuddleberg is not a gay name, no matter what they all say"

"Mizuryu Hattori!" The floor burst, and an old man carrying a giant blade came forth. "Do you want to be locked up in a musty old room, reading books on jutsu in the academy, or do you want to train with me?" Mizuryu closed his book and put on his green eyeglasses. " Cool. When does the academy open, I want to go." The screams of Mizuryu's grandfather echoed across the village of the hidden mist.

[Vergil]

Chibi kenji saw the head coming up. Kenji relaxed his neck, took the blow and fell backwards. the kage bunshin didn't disappear due to kenji's counter measure. Koguro had let go of his ankles now, allowing kenji to back flip as he fell back. He rubbed his chin.

"you're an inventive one, I'll give you that. I like that and for that I'll teach you an awesome combo, a bit tricky, but cool as hell." Kenji ran towards Koguro, jumped and attempted a kick to his side. Koguro caught the leg. Kenji then brought the other leg up to land on Koguros other side. This one landed and kenji was scissoring his midsection with two legs. He sat up and then quickly arched back using the momentum and incredible abdominal strength, to send Koguro flying over him. Kenji released the scissor grip as Koguro landed on his head, not too hard as kenji had held back a lot, but enough for him to feel it.

Kenji smiled. "Work on that one, kid. It's almost unblockable."


The real kenji looked around. "Huh? now we have even numbers." He looked at his register and there was a blank spot "dude, this is creepy." Kenji peered at the kids carefully searching for a supernatural being.

The taijutsu was going well, the kids were closing in on their limits but they would have to push past them. If they did so their chakra capacity would increase as well as their durability

*******************

A bunch of thugs approched Konoha as they were ordered to do.

"So, is this the place we were supposed to meet, Legolas?" a small brutish man with a large beard said. He was about 4 ft and carried a large double headed axe. He had incredible arm strength.

"I believe so Gimli. We have to wait for our contact. What say you Aragorn?" A lithe man said with long pointed ears. He carried a bow and a set of arrows

"Hmm. We will have to wait here for now. It's not like him to be late." A dark haired man said. He carried a longsword.

"I'm not late. I've been here for half an hour." A dark voice came from one of the shadows of the trees, "Your quest is to use my tunnel into Konoha and slay the demon children or they will eventually rise up and destroy all that you hold dear."

"These powers. What you showed us, they were bordering on the unbelievable. They are far too powerful and must be killed now before they mature." The three of them said in unison. Clearly they had been subject to brainwashing and genjutsu, ones that could not be reversed.

"Good. Now make your way there. It should take you a week on foot at your pace." The dark man disappeared from the trees, readying his next sabotage

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro's forehead had already been bruised with the counterforce from chibi Kenji's chin. He did feel happy about that, though, but not what happened later. The new thingy was interesting to say the least, however, and he had one more to add to his crazy weird combos arsenal.

"What do you call this sensei?" Koguro scratched the back of his head, still upside down with Kenji's legs wrapping around his midsection like scissors. It sounded like a midhurricarrana. "And wait... What about trees should I learn?"

[Vergil]

"Ugh... the move doesn't have a name. I've always been bad at naming moves I tend to just call them after phrases. How bout 'never run with scissors!'?"

Kenji remembered about the tree thing

"Oh yeah! Don't make those silly abrasions on the tree. How are you going to use that method when you want to do this!" He jumped up and hung himself upside down from a branch. He leaped down infront of Koguro "Cool huh?!"

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"How about rubbing those spots?" Koguro had been released from the 'never run with scissors' and was standing on his feet. "Ok damn I'll have to go again. Should there be anything wiser to make it?" He questioned himself.

Koguro made to the tree and put a foot on the surface again. Blue chakra glowed around it, he was somewhat used to the position due to initial practice with abrasion, so it wasn't too much a problem for him to stick his foot on the tree for a while. "I feel focused, and that's the cool thing." He lifted another foot up and it seemed like sticky too. The first part was done, now the walking part.

Koguro felt he had difficulty lifting one of the foot out of the tree to step up due to the chakra there, he had tried to dissipate the chakra from his foot to deliver it easier. But it turned out that chakra from both of his feet disappeared, and Koguro dropped, luckily, his butt on the ground.

Now that was the real challenge. He had to do it right from the beginning.

[Vergil]

Kenji approached Kiya, Shark and Kevato. He looked round at Hikaru. "Who's fighting who here? I hope you boys aren't picking on one girl! That's just plain wrong!" His sight glanced to the boys who were bullying the timid girl. They froze. It was a good thing too, as the timid girl looked like she was about to do something strange. She went back to practicing her patterns

"look. Kevato and Hikaru, you guys fight it out, I wanna see some application of the basic combos I taught you. Add in your own style though - I don't want robots. Kiya and Shark you...shark why are you covered in flour?...oh yeah...anyway, you two fight more seriously. really go for it ok?!"

Kenji then went over to Kazuma who was still damp from his previous soaking. Kenji tried to contain his laughter but failed.

"Ok...sorry. Mr booksmarts huh? what are we gonna do with you? Hey Hyuuga kid! stop brooding in the corner and come here!" The Hyuuga walked over. "Ok you two geniuses have at it. No chakra points closing!" The hyuuga exhaled in frustration but smiled, his gentle fist style was useful even without chakra as it had descended from Bagua Zhang, a taoist martial art. The hyuuga breathed in quietly as if he were meditating and then slowly stepped in, moving his body beautifully preparing to strike Kazuma

[Cursed panda]

"Right kenji sir!" Shark looked at him and rolled his eye's when he said something about the flour of course no one could see them since he was wearing his goggles. he turned back to Kiya with a smirk. " Alright sory bout that i well count down 5...4...3...2..1....GO!

Shark got into his fighting stance.Shark got down to the ground and did a leg sweep if it hit she would fall backwards on to the ground if it missed she had a easy way to attack him since he was on teh ground. "Ahh hell i hope this works."

[StrawHat4Life]

Kazuma looks at Kenji dumbfounded and then points at the Hyuuga who already stands at the ready, "Are you kidding me!?" Kenji just gives him a maniacal grin and disappears in a puff of smoke, "Friggin' masochist...." he grumbles.

He sighs and shakes his head, Kazuma looks at the Hyuuga kid and smiles, "My name's Kazuma what's your...." Suddenly the Hyuuga rushes in as smooth as water and hits him with a palm thrust right to the midsection. "Ooooof," the air in Kazuma's lungs rocket out forcefully and he collapses to his knees.

The Hyuuga boy grins and circles Kazuma waving his palms around gracefully, his movements are amazingly fluid. "Never let your guard down..." he says simply and he continues to circle Kazuma like a Tiger waiting to pounce.

Kazuma grimaces and slowly get to his feet, If he had been trying to seal my chakra, I'd totally out of it, he thinks. "So that's Gentle Fist style huh?" he asks the Hyuuga but the boy doesn't reply. Kazuma breathes in deeply and focuses in his mind about a book he had read about the Hyuuga...

Chapter 3, Page 57, paragraph 2 of, The Hyuuga Clan: Their History and their Legacy
The Gentle Fist style of combat is the taijutsu that damages the most. It is based on palm strikes and generally aims to damage the body's chakra circulatory system, thus creates difficulty of inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name "gentle fist".

Then Kazuma remembers the last and worst line...
Close quarters combat against a master of Gentle Fist Style is not recommended and should be avoided at all costs.

"Oh shi..." Bam! The Hyuuga appears at his side and strikes outwards with his palm, the blow seems so delicate and yet it hits him like a ton of bricks, internally, he feels his internal organs literally jostle around on the inside.

"Screw this!" exclaims Kazuma and he blocks out the pain. He ducks down, executing a spinning leg sweep but the Hyuuga nimbly side steps, once again like flowing water.

Kazuma charges in and throws a right hook, but the Hyuuga easily parries the blow and then he jabs the tips of his fingers into Kazuma's outstretched arm, lightning fast. A jolt like electricity sizzles up Kazuma's right arm and rockets to his brain but the Hyuuga is not done because he quickly pulls Kazuma's arm and then flips him over his shoulder. Kazuma crashes to the ground unceremoniously on his rear end.

"Had enough?" asks the Hyuuga boy. Kazuma glares at him and and then struggles to his feet, his right arm feels numb, "Nope I'm just getting started." He closes his eyes and focuses, "You may kick my ass but I swear I'm going to get at least one hit on you before this is over..." The Hyuuga scoffs as if saying, not in this lifetime and Kazuma rushes at him defiantly.

[Nero92]

"Where is the hell is Kazuma, he is late.We have to train."
Rion seeks in all directions of the yard for Kazuma but nothing.
Suddenly a voice "Go find him...."
"Daddd.....??" Rion thinks but he was not sure.
Rion stands up and runs to find Kazuma.
As he was running he listen some sounds like people fighting.
Rion runs to that direction.
And as he arrived he sees Kazuma with his hands at the ground.
"What...?"
"Hey Rion at least I hit him 3 times.Look at him, I was good."
Rion looks the other boy and then he remembers that he is the Hyuuga boy from the Academy.
"Good job Kazuma"
"Hey you, it's not your bussiness.We fighting with Kenji's order."
"This is not a fight.If you two continue like this Kazuma is gonna injured badly."
Rion steps in front of Kazuma as he was trying to protect him
"Now its my turn Hyuuga boy"
Rion was really serious for the first time.Kazuma saw the change on Rion's behaviour.
"Rion are you ok?"
"Yes dude.Just wait"
Suddenly Rion looks the Hyuuga boy straight in his eyes.Something passed through from Hyuuga's body.A strange feeling surrounded him as Rion was looking at him and his eyes were starting changing.The Hyuuga boy had never seen something like that.
"Ah........Kazuma you were lucky." Suddenly the Hyuuga boy jumped back and started running and vanished from them fast.
"It was my turn now to save you."
As Rion said that Hyuuga appeared from nowhere behind Rion and kicked him at his back.This kick sent Rion unconsious.
"You are nothing for me"
Kazuma stoop up and was ready to fight again

[Kuno]

Kiya straightened up out of her defensive stance as Kenji walked up. She listened to him for a moment and nods. “They weren’t ganging up on me. He was waiting his turn….“ she says then listens to the rest of his statement. “Yes sensei.” she says as she waits for him to walk away.

As Shark counts down this time she readies her stance waiting for him to strike first. She sees him coming as he aims to sweep her feet. She kicks out at him as he sweeps catching her foot. It throws her off balance causing her to spin a little. The foot that was aimed at his face is now going towards the side of his head.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato listened to Kenji-san's words. He was fighting Hikaru, and knew nothing about his opponent.
"The name's Kevato, got it memorized ? Now let's get this started. " Kevato settled into a defensive posture, awating Hikaru to begin attacking.

[StrawHat4Life]

Rion wakes up from his dream and looks around. "Wow I was dreaming about fighting the Hyuuga kid." He gets up to find a sparing partner.

Meanwhile...
Kazuma had found his rhythm and he rounds on the Hyuuga swinging at a frenetic pace. After the last two times getting tossed onto his head he had figured out that being as unpredictable as possible was the only way he could stand with this guy. Kazuma fakes a leg sweep but then spins around in the air and kicks at his head. The Hyuuga blocks the kick, then does his own spin around Kazuma's leg and executes a palm thrust at his chest. Kazuma knows he can't dodge so he crosses his forearms in front of his chest and absorbs the impact, he hurtles backwards but manages to cartwheel to his feet and slide across the grass. The Hyuuga doesn't wait and he charges in, as Kazuma slides backwards.

Kazuma looks at the boy's face and sees he means to finish him off once and for all. Not good, he thinks, then an idea hits him, hmm...why not? As he slides back Kazuma does quick hand seals and focuses his chakra, “Henge!” he exclaims. Suddenly a plume of smoke appears and instead of Kazuma, Kenji now stands there, miraculously. The Hyuuga stops in his tracks and looks wide eyed at Kenji, thinking it's some kind of trap.

“What the hell do you think you're doing kid!?” he bellows at the Hyuuga. On the inside he's really thinking I hope he doesn't realize it's still my eye color also the voice is a tad lighter....

The boy stammers for a second but then he focuses his Byakugan and sees literally straight through this manifestation of Kenji, “Wait you're not...” Suddenly, Kenji rounds on the Hyuuga and hits him with an uppercut. The Hyuuga goes tumbling to the ground. Another plume of smoke and Kenji has transformed back into plain old Kazuma. He grins at the Hyuuga. “I knew that you'd be startled by Kenji-san's appearance even if only for a second, before your Byakugan would notice it was a fake...” Kazuma gives him the thumbs up sign, “I told you that I would hit you.”

The Hyuuga rubs his jaw and gets to his feet. He nods.

Great now he's pissed, thinks Kazuma.

[Vergil]

kenji watches intently at Kazuma dealing with the Hyuuga. It was a brutal sight and neither of them were holding back but at the moment the Hyuuga had the upper hand. It would eventually be a tough defeat for Kazuma to swallow but he hoped that it would make him realise that there was more to life than just remembering the facts.

Koguro had made some progress in the tree climbing but not much, he felt a change of pace was needed. Kenji calls Rion over to Koguro.

"Okay, you two. You are sparring but with a difference. Both of your technique in your arms are good but your kicking...well it sucks. But don't feel down! I want you both to spar against each other only using your legs. Don't look at me like that! it's called kick boxing. It requires a lot of movement and flexibility in your legs, so make sure you stretch properly ok? right go!"

Kenji suddenly remembered that he had the pads in his classroom for the sparring. 'Oh well, it'll make them tougher' he thought and sat down watching them all

[Nero92]

Rion looks Kenji and thinks "My kicks don't suck, you suck"
Koguro walks and take his offensive stance.
Rion was not ready for a battle right now but he didn't have a choise.
"Damn....Fine.Let's do this Koguro"
Rion puts his bag down and gets ready.
"I will beat you"
"Ha....."
Koguro runs and kicks Rion straight to his stomach
"Oh....it hurts"
Koguro was quite faster than Rion at kicking and now he had the uper hand.
Koguro was kicking him at extreme speed everywhere and Rion could not even defend himself.
A final powerfull kick at Rion's face sent him 5 metres away.
Kenji stands up as he saw Rion down.
"Fine, time to stop for a while now"
And then......."No, wait.I am not done yet!"
The door opens and Seki comes out.
Seki walked towards Kenji.
Seki:"Hey, why you let these students fighting so hard?"
Kenji:"They have to train hard to be good."
Seki:"Huh?"

"Lets continue.....Koguro right?"
"Yes my name is Koguro.And you are..... Rion"

"My turn now smart boy."
Rion stands up "What if I use a little of my chakra" Rion thinks.
Rion charges at Koguro and jumped to kick Koguro.Koguro was faster and fast tried to catch Rion's foot.
"That would be cheating Koguro..." Rion appeared in Koguuro's back and with fast kicks at the middle of Koguro's feet sent him at his knees.

Seki:"Kenji did you see that?"
Kenji:"I know, I know.He is just a student but.......there is something wrong with that boy...and I will find out soon"

"Nice move Rion but I can still fight"

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro knelt, his back did hurt, but not that bad. Like he had expected, Rion was after all not a total loser, everyone had their own strength, and seemed like Rion had just shown it.

Hard work and bored tricks at the fruits shop did help Koguro boost up with his stamina and speed, but not chakra control, which he knew nothing of. He turned to see a weird fight between the Hyuuga kid he had seen at the start of the day and another boy who had just scared the shit out of the white-eyes, though only for seconds.

Koguro forgot about his current fight with Rion and observed the fight closely. He was quite amused with the fluid flowery movement of the Gentle Fist, and he did wish to fight him one day. He sounded like the best Taijutsu user around here, and Koguro would love to see himself disable the infamous Gentle Fist with his never-before moves, which he had used to succesfully target even Kenji-sensei...

...and which he was gonna use against Rion in no time.

Koguro stood up and wiped away the dust on his knees. "Now my turn to attack." He closed his eyes tight and charged straight at Rion, the strategy he named 'foolplaying', expecting every type of counter attack or defense Rion would use again him.

[Nero92]

Koguro stood up and charged at Rion with his eyes closed.
"What is he doing?"
Rion gets ready and tries to kick him as Koguro comes at him but he fails.Koguro avoided his kick easily.Rion starts and kick him fast at all directions but.....nothing.Then Koguro avoids the last kick and then he attacks Rion with force.The powerfull kick from Koguro smashed Rion on a tree behind him.
But....Rion started laughing.....
Kenji:"What the.......hey you Rion why you laugh?He knocked you out."
"Nah....it was just a good kick."
Rion stands up again and now his eyes started changing again.
A smile on his face after what happened to him made everyone looking at him strange.

[Vergil]

kenji decided that the kids had been beaten up enough. despite the slow start kiya had done surprisingly well against shark. whether it was due to the flour or the fact that kiya was a stunner for her age, kenji didn't know. whatever the case, kiyas counter attacking was of a decent level.

kazuma was still fighting with the hyuuga. both surprised at how long each other could last. kazumas endurance had worn out the hyuuga and the fight ended with a draw, though the byakugan user was clearly not happy with it.

rion and koguros fight was also close, but kenji gave it to koguro. perhaps the earlier sparring session with kenji had sharpened him up a bit.

kevato and hikarus fight was probably the strangest cagiest affair he had seen. neither of them really going for it. he encouraged them to go for it and would give them 10 minutes to have a go.

"right kids, I know you are badly bruised...well at least some of you....falling down trees and getting kicked and punched isn't the most pleasant, so make sure it doesn't happen. train so you don't fall; train so you don't get hit." kenji said

"tomorrow were doing weapons training. I'm not going to teach you how to use one, that would take too long, rather how to dodge and evade and counter. we will be using some object henge so practice. you should still have chakra left as we didn't use too much today. once kevato and hikaru stop just looking at each other and fight the were off to a healing hot spring."

the girls giggled in glee, the boys only had perverted thoughts.

"the rest of you do your warm down stretches with your sparring partner."

the timid girl looked at her male partner with an evil glare as if to warn him off touching her. he fell down in fear. kenji watched on as the rest warmed down

[Kuno]

Kiya battled with Shark a little longer and then they called it quits as Kenji spoke.

“The hot springs? Really?” Kiya said more to herself then to anybody around her but she noticed Shark listening to her. “Sorry…” she said blushing a little. “I just have a weakness for the hot springs…” Kiya said with a slight chuckle.

She begins to do her warm down stretches as the sensei stressed. For ten minutes she bent, twisted, pulled and leaned to stretch her muscles back out. Then she sat in a tired heap. “I didn’t realize this was going to wear me out this bad. I hope I still have enough chakra left to practice those techniques tonight….” she says with a sigh. “Time is running out…”

[Vergil]

Kenji had enough of waiting for the two kids to fight.

"Hot springs!!" Kenji exclaimed excitedly, "After the springs you're free to do what you want, hell you don't even have to come! Still some time before sundown so go have fun."

Kenji went over to the group of guys. "Try not to peep guys...or if you do make sure you do without getting noticed - this is also ninja training!" he laughed and ran off hurriedly leaving only a trail of dust.

The Hyuuga and the timid girl looked at each other and then looked away as soon as their eyes met. The Hyuuga walked alongside her and began chatting, despite his arrogance on the battlefield he wasn't a bad guy. The timid girl was happy that someone was talking with her in a friendly way, as no-one else had.

The rowdy boys all raced each other to the hot spring, hoping to set up some peeping opportunities. The girls were aware of this but played along. They had their own defences against such pranks. They all walked through the city centre to the springs on the other side of the city

Most of the class followed Kenji, with a few tending to their injuries and going home

[Muk]

In the past few days ...

Yuki came home quite tired and frustrated. When she finished throwing her kunai at the dummy, she found out that all of them had missed their target, by a very, very far margin.

"Welcome home," her mother greeted her warmly. "I'm home."

"Yuki," a cold male tone sounded through the house. "Yes, father?"

"I expect you to be better then those academy students, how was your first day?"

"Well, truth be told, I missed just about every dummy with my kunai." She said ready to get yelled at by her father.

"Hmph! Well, it cannot be helped. You are blind after all. Come with me to the lake in our clans district."

The two walked all the way to the lake. "Well then, your sister surely has shown you the Katon Goukyaku's handseals, no?" "Yes, father." "Then I shall demonstrate it once, even if you cannot see it, you should be able to feel its intensity."

Katon Goukyaku! A gigantic fireball engulfs the lake. Yuki could easily feel the heat from it. It was hot and painful.

"I expect you to have mastered it by the time you become a genin." Her father said and left her alone by the lake.

.... "Well, I guess I do still have some homework to do ..."

Katon Goukyaku! ... Nothing ...

"Ugh, bleh, bah, this tates like muddy, earthy. Am I doing something wrong?"

"Hello little sis!" "Huh? Big sis? Awesome, thank god you are here. Dad just gave me extra homework. I am suppose to learn the Katon Goukyaku. But for some reason, not only can I not hold the breath inside my lungs, but when I release it, it doesn't feel right. It tastes like mud, sand, rocky."

"Hmm, do it once more, let me see it."

Katon Goukyaku! ... She spits out a little spit.

"Bleh, this takes wrong." "Well, that's strange. Usually it should be rather 'easy' to hold your breath. You look like you are almost suffocating each time you try to hold your breath to gather your chakra. Let's try something else. I've got these neat pieces of paper, here hold one."

"Oh, these feel weird, what are they?"

"They are from trees that were feed with special chakra. Put some chakra into yours."

"Nnng!" The piece of paper crumbles into dust. "It became dust?" As Yuki tries catching the falling pieces.

"Now that's strange. You are an earth type. Usually all Uchiha's are fire type."

"Earth type, isn't that this seal?" Yuki shows her sister the earth seal.

Suddenly she feels something odd, like a pulse. She could feel the rock she was standing on, she could almost see it.

"Woah ..." she says ... 'maybe if I intesify my output ...'

'Earth Seal!'

"Sis are you carrying a backpack full with papers?"

"Yes, how'd you know?" "I think I can feel, no see through the earth seal. It's almost as if it returns a pulse back to me."

'Henge!' Her form was perfect, she looked exactly like her sister, the only thing that was wrong was the colors. She still could not see any colors, but form and shape were perfect now.

"Wow, great! You can shape your henge's now into the correct form, unlike that black ooze of nothing before. I knew you had talent."

"Thank's sis!"

'Donton Goukyaku!'

There still was nothing coming out. "Well, I guess I can't master everything in a single day. Gotta work hard now. But this time it didn't feel like I was suffocating like the last two times. This time it feels right."

Tired the two sister return home. After dinner, Yuki falls asleep quickly.

Returning to the present ...

Yuki has been practicing her kunai throwing more then walking on the trees. The few times she did practice it, she had almost no difficulty walking up the tree all the way.

Having her Earth Seal active the whole time was draining on her and she needed to rest about every 10 minutes. But now she at least hit the dummies. Though they would not hit the mark, at least they got closer and closer.

Later she was watching the sparr that the Hyuga and kazuma. She could 'feel' the pain that Kazuma was going through as he was getting beaten up.

"Well, I am off to the springs, it was a hot and sweaty day. Oh don't even try to peek. You'd be blinded by my body immediately, and secondly 'Eye's have you!'"

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato eventually got bored of waiting for Hikaru and just followed Kenji-san and the others. Walking towards the hot springs some other girls tried to talk to him.
"Kevato-san, how come you left Hikaru ?"

"I got bored." Kevato replied hastily.

" Who are you going to the springs with ?" The girl asked.

"No one at the moment." Kevato said, smiling only a little.

"Mind if I join you ?" She responded.

"Not at all." Kevato answered.

As Kevato arrived at the springs he only shook his head at the other boys peeping at the girls. What a waste of a good relaxation, and especially when I can just talk with one girl, and not try to oogle her instead. Kevato thought, he didn't bother with that kind of stuff, because it wasn't important as getting to know everyone first.

[Nero92]

"Hmmm....I should go to meet the others too."
Rion decided to go to the springs with the others.
He grabbed his bag and put it on his shoulder.
It would be a good chance for all to get know each other.
Rion looked around....."I am wondering what Kenji will make us do now"

[Vergil]

Kenji was already at the hot springs. His heart skipped a beat, the trinity of jounin women were there, easily the most unattainable girls in the village. the holy grail of peeping. This would test his skill to their upmost. Simple henge or invisibility wouldn't work this time, he needed something more elaborate. He waited for the reinforcements to arrive

He stood in his towel with his arms at his hips looking at the huge wooden divider seperating the men and women. He wished he had the Byakugan.

[Kuno]

Kiya walked with the others. A smile softening her lips. She walked in the group hoping someone would talk to her. "“Why do I have to be so shy….” she thinks to herself as she looks around at the group. It seemed everyone was talking to each other and having a good time. “Well at least I get the consolation of the hot springs…” Kiya again thinks as they walk. “I haven’t been in so long. This is going to be so nice…”

After walking for a while they arrive at there destination. Kiya walks into the women’s changing area. She strips out of her clothes and folds them up placing them away. She ties her long golden tresses up and then wraps the towel around her and looks down. “Must they get such small towels?” she says with a chuckle in her voice and blushing slightly. She shrugs and walks into the hot springs.

[Muk]

"Erm Kiya, right?" Yuki says. "Could you help me around getting to the pool? I can't bring my dog with me and kinda lost my orientation." Yuki says as she catches Kyia in the dressing room.

[Kuno]

Kiya stops as she gets to the door and turns hearing her name called. She looks around and noticed the blind girl facing her direction. She smiles a little and walks over. “Sure…” she says and gently grabs her hand leading her out.

“It’s Yuki right?” she asks as she guides her through the door. “Watch your step. It is only down one….” she leads here through the other women at the springs to some steps and walks in. “Careful…I don’t know if you have been here before but….” Kiya says gauging the steps. “It’s about four steps…um…twelve inches high each?” she says chuckling “I think…” after they are in Kiya guides her to the side. “I hope I didn’t seem condescending. I never helped someone that was….blind before…” she says. “Have a seat…” Kiya says sitting her self.

Kiya looks around and glances at the wooden barrier. She chuckles and thinks. “Who cares?” She leans her head back and closes her eyes. Letting the luxurious water wash away the muscle aches and pains.

[Muk]

"Thanks, so much," Yuki says and slides down into the water. She bubbles it blowing air out of her mouth. Floating on her back she just lets all that heat wash away her pain in her arms and legs. Throwing too many kunais today.

"So, who do you like out of all the boys?" Yuki asks Kiya.

[Vergil]

there was a group of boys that had gathered around kenji.

"this, my dear students, is one of the most difficult missions you will face." he stood like a leader in the hot water. "if we get this wrong, then there will be at least 3 very powerful jounin level women who will make sure you won't ever pee properly again. however if we get this right we will have the image of 3 angels burnt into our minds forever! I won't ever need to buy a copy of ..well lets just say my monthly expenses will drop." kenji said without embarrassment.

"first lesson. know thine enemy. these women have almost no weaknesses except for a mutual, unreasonable fear of monkeys! luckily there is an abundance of these round these parts. go catch a few and ill put a genjutsu on them, then I will corner them to a specific place with many pep holes, use my wind element and oops! off come the towels and we can all die as happy men!"

kenji became serious. "make no mistake gentlemen. this is a tough mission. you must gather the monkeys without being spotted. and you only have half an hour to get them. you are free to decline but it'll be great to see!" the previously uninterested hyuuga was now intrigued. it would be good practise for him, he wasn't interested in anything else...though the timid girls face suddenly flashed through his head and he smiled.

"get to it!" kenji said raising his arm and pointing upwards

[Kuno]

Kiya settled into the water with her eyes closed. Mostly the women around them were being quiet but some were talking softly. There were females of all ages in there but not to many. It wasn’t over crowded. She relaxed quickly the muscles already feeling much better.

Then she hears Yuki speak. Kiya opens her eyes a crack and listens. “Which boy do I like?” she repeats the question and thinks for a moment. “Honestly…I haven’t really thought about it. I haven’t gotten to know very many of them. Sure…a couple are cute…but….” she sighs a little. “How about you?” Kiya asks closing her eyes once more.

[Addeh]

Hikaru was looking down, his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep standing up. He opened his eyes and looked around. "Uhh.... What happened?" He asked out loud. He was confused.

[Muk]

Kiya settled into the water with her eyes closed. Mostly the women around them were being quiet but some were talking softly. There were females of all ages in there but not to many. It wasn’t over crowded. She relaxed quickly the muscles already feeling much better.

Then she hears Yuki speak. Kiya opens her eyes a crack and listens. “Which boy do I like?” she repeats the question and thinks for a moment. “Honestly…I haven’t really thought about it. I haven’t gotten to know very many of them. Sure…a couple are cute…but….” she sighs a little. “How about you?” Kiya asks closing her eyes once more.
"Well, there is this one boy who seems overly arrogant and so on, but he also seems to be somewhat protective, wonder though. But most of them just seems so tomboyish right now.

And as far as cute ... well I can't really tell /see

Seen none cute once, seen them all.

I've tried helping a few with Henge and bunshin, but none seem to appreciate my help."

Yuki answer while slowly floating towards Kiya.

[Kuno]

Kiya listened with her eyes closed then shrugged. She blushed a little when she remembered the girl couldn’t see her. “Cute is first a matter of a opinion and second not the most important thing. I would much rather have someone to talk to.” she said with a slight chuckle. “I kind of like the more athletic types though the arrogant ones do get on my nerves….”

She cracks one eye open looking at Yuki. “Protective huh?” she chuckles. “I was watching you. I don’t think you need to much protecting.” Kiya closes her eyes and sighs.

“Not to change the subject…but if you can do the jutsu…would you mind helping me? For some reason I am kind of having a problem.” she then sits up a little looking at her. “And, in exchange I can help you with throwing kunai if you would like. I may not be the greatest but between us we might be able to figure out a way….” Kiya smiles then and relaxes back not finishing the sentence because she didn‘t want to offend the girl

[Muk]

"Sure, I'll help you with henge and bunshin, though I've gotta say, there is are these technicalities with henge that i haven't figured out how to overcome. I've figured out a way to reshape even while blind, but color is a totally different thing ... can't seem to be able to figure that one out. no one has told me anything about my bunshin, except that they look pretty much perfect, but i think there might still be a problem with that color issue."

Yuki keeps talking on and on about those two jutsu, in between she drops hints at how to better use the handseals and how to channel the chakra easier. In the end she probably had talked Kiya a long list of things that would probably help her with henge and bunshin, but as long as she wouldn't be practicing or trying them out, it probably wouldn't be much of any help.

[Kuno]

Kiya listened to Yuki intently. Taking mental notes of everything she shared that could possibly of any help to her. Then she broached the subject of Yuki’s issues with them. “Why won’t anyone tell you what is wrong with yours?” she asked a little confused that no one would be honest with her. “Another question that might helps find a way to fix your problem…have you always been blind?” She asks determined to find a way to help her overcome the issue. “If it is the colors…there has got to be a way….” Kiya begins to think her way through the problem trying desperately to find an answer.

[Addeh]

Hikaru walked through the town. "Grrr... I always get left behind." He said and looked around. Where did they all go?" He wondered. He walked to the ramen shop. "Not here..." Then to the barbecue restaurant. "Not here..." Then back to the academy. "Not here! Where else could they have gone?"

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato listened to Kenji-sans words, he wasn't interested in this at all.

"How boring......I don't want to waste time on that." Kevato slowly responded to Kenji-san. "It's not worth the consequences, and besides, I'm not as desperate as you Kenji-san." Kevato grinned. Earlier that girl that had invited him had gone with the other girls instead, so he was stuck with the Pervy Teacher. Kevato wanted no part of Kenji's pervertedness.

[Muk]

Kiya listened to Yuki intently. Taking mental notes of everything she shared that could possibly of any help to her. Then she broached the subject of Yuki’s issues with them. “Why won’t anyone tell you what is wrong with yours?” she asked a little confused that no one would be honest with her. “Another question that might helps find a way to fix your problem…have you always been blind?” She asks determined to find a way to help her overcome the issue. “If it is the colors…there has got to be a way….” Kiya begins to think her way through the problem trying desperately to find an answer.

"Yeah pretty much blind from the day of. I mean I've been fine until now, I had Bobby, my guiding dog and my walking stick to get me around in town and all. ...

See shape and form probably by from what I can tell, which is pretty much very little, should be perfect for either technique. But that alone doesn't cut it. Especially not, since most people rely on their eyes for the first impression.

Henge and Bunshin are two jutsu that at first glance affect the eyes of yoru target. And since I really can't tell green from red, without asking people which color they are wearing, I can't really replicate those colors and tones to match the henge perfectly.

And the only person ever to tell me I am doing something wrong would be my big sis. You've met her, she had cut in on Kenji's class so he wouldn't murder us all with his chalk pieces.

She's good at many things."

[Vergil]

"Desperate?! I'll have you know I have a wife! She is a bigger pervert than me..aahh we were made for each other, you know. If you don't want to help then that's fine....but I noticed you were talking to some girl earlier. You telling me, you're not interested at all? Up to you kid." Kenji said.

Most of the boys were running around in their towels chasing the animals, a few had seen the fruits on the trees and had made some traps. Though this wasn't a lesson Kenji had taken note.

"You there, stop spanking the monkey!" Kenji yelled as one of the boys was tormenting the beast. He went over and put the monkey under a genjutsu, where it would think the girls were female monkeys.

[Nero92]

Rion was waiting for Kenji to tell to the students something for an important lesson except from hunting monkeys.
He walked near the big and old trees and sat down of one.
"Ehh.....I am hungry."
Rion knocked 2-3 times hard the tree and 2 apples dropped on his head.
"Hehe, thats it"
He grabbed the apples and started eating them.
As he was eating he saw a monkey doing crazy things
"What the...?"

[Zoidberg]

Mizuryu grinned as he entered the Ninja Academy situated at the center of the village. Inside were numerous children his age, chatting away before entering their rooms. He had been a week late for classes as his father and grandfather argued wether he should go to school or not. Usually the parents of a student will accompany their child on their first day, but Mizuryu went in alone as his father was on a mission, his mother was doing paperwork with the Mizukage, and his grandfather's kidney was acting up again, leaving him bedridden. "Room 24.. Room 25..." He paced quietly inside the building, looking for his room. He bumped into a large man with great girth. He had a small mustache, and was completely bald except for the facial hair. "I'm sorry." He said. "Are you lost?"

Mizuryu nodded. "Which room?" He asked. "I'm in room 76, sir." The man smiled. "Ah, you must be Ieyasu's grandson. I've been expecting you. Follow me." Mizuryu did as he was told, and followed the man towards a corridor with only one door. The large man went inside and left Mizuryu outside. He then opened the door and looked at Mizuryu. "Come in, Mizuryu, this is room 76." Mizuryu quickly realized that the man was his teacher. He entered the room, and found it filled with only 11 people. "Why is the class so small..." He wondered. "Village policy, to insure quality, my boy." His teacher said. He then turned to his students, who were busy staring at Mizuryu. "Class, we have a new student today. Introduce yourself, if you may." He said to Mizuryu.

He fixed his glasses and looked at the class. Clearing his throat, he began to speak. "My name is Mizuryu Hattori." He began to write his name on the board. "Pleased to meet you all." He said as pleasant as possible. There was much whispering in class, and then a girl raised her hand. "Mr. Kaiju, I have a question for Mr. Hattori." The teacher grinned. "Go ahead and ask,Yumi." He told her. The girl stood. She was no bigger than Mizuryu. Her blue hair was long, and was tied with a green ribbon. She wore a beige jacket with long sleeves that covered even her hands when she raised them, and wore shorts that reached to her knees. "Are you the grandson of the great Ieyasu Hattori, the Shogun of the Burning Tides?" She asked promptly. Mizuryu nodded. "Yes, why?"

The girl's eyes grew fierce. "Well, I'm Yumi Umikaze, grand daughter of Nobunaga Umikaze, better known as Nobunaga of the Billion Swords. Do you know what that means?" Mizuryu shrugged. "Your grandfather is my grandfather's poker buddy?" He said nonchalantly. Yumi was infuriated. "NO, YOU IDIOT! It means we're rivals, from this day forth!"She pointed her finger at Mizuryu, though he could only see the tip with her long sleeves. More whispers erupted from the class, followed by chuckles and giggles. It was not a good start, at least for Mizuryu. To calm himself, he thought of a page from one his books. "Alright, just think of 'Medical jutsu made easy, the limited edition', page 3." A feminine voice began to echo in his head.

"It can be said that the medic-nin is the most important member of a squad. Without a medic, the team can easily be defeated because they lack the means to heal themselves. Furthermore, a skilled medic-nin is able to be an effective fighter as well. Since it requires great chakra control to perform healing jutsu, that same control of chakra can also be used to increasing the impact of physical attack to superhuman feats, which otherwise would require a Kekkai Genkai or years of physical training that could be spent on other, more needed things.

Author's Notes:
Damnit, why do I have to do this? I can't believe Shizune talked me into writing this. 'The profits from the books will help with your debts, Lady Tsuande.' She says. Why do I have to care if it helps me pay my debts? I already arranged for the payment to be taken from the treasury on the day of my death or when i'm replaced, with the blame going to my successor. I fell sorry for the sucker who succeeds me. This is the 3rd time i've written this. Damn Naruto, spilling ramen all over my notes... why couldn't he have spilled them on my I.O.Us instead... Oh well, with the rate that idiot's going he's bound to succeed me, and when that happens... :kukuku :kukuku " Mizuryu's mind returned to the classroom, where Yumi had been screaming at him. "WAKE UP, LOSER!!" She yelled. Mizuryu, though, did not pay her any attention. "I wonder how Tsunade wrote that last piece at the end of her author's notes..."

[Vergil]

The boys had gathered quite a few monkeys.

"well played lads...now then" Kenji put the monkeys under a mass genjutsu, it wasn't his specialty but it was more than adequate for animals. They became serene, confused and began their assault on the women's section of the hotspring.

"Come on, come on!" kenji said excitedly, "Over on this side!" He knelt over and took position at the peep hole. The monkeys began to swarm into the the hot spring and descend on the unsuspecting Jounin women.

Kenji heard a collective scream as about 15 horny male monkeys made a beeline for the girls, it would be easy enough for them to fend off, but it would certainly be a harrowing experience. The Jounin women all screamed in terror and were cornered to where Kenji had planned.

Kenji made some hand seal and released a powerful gust of wind which made the towels come flying off. Kenji's eyes widened at the spectacle and his heart skipped a beat. blood came pouring out of his nose and he leaped back in ecstacy, almost blacking out at the sight.

The jounin women, still in the coils of terror smashed through a section of the wooden wall and descended on the male portion of the bathouse. They saw Kenji and 4 other boys lying face up with blood trickling out of their nose. All three were now an inferno of rage and went straight for Kenji.

He would be later found, beaten and bruised, naked and tied to a pole in the centre of Konoha

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"5874...5875...5876..." Koguro had been throwing and catching an apple as it flew forwards and reflected back from the wall for the whole morning. He had declined to join the hot spring, though he had wanted some means of relaxation. He had to watch the fruit stall. Things had been weird these days, and his adopted father hadn't dropped home for three whole days. Sometimes this happened, but quite rarely, usually only incidents held down the pace. Thus, Koguro wasn't too surprise with the late coming, but he had been patiently waiting...

The apple kept flying, hitting the wall, and flying, being caught, flying, hitting the wall, flying, being caught... And it reached the number 6000...

"6131...6132...6133..." Koguro mumbled in boredom.

The door was open, and two shinobi in chuunin vests walked in. Koguro caught the apple and turned to them. "What may I help, sirs?" He asked in a bored fashion.

"You are son of Kushino?" One of them asked, holding a paper.

"Yes? And you are..."

"Look, we are very sorry to deliver unpleasant news as well as compassionate regards from Hokage-sama... Your father..."

"Wait wait wait. I'm kinda sorry but you talked too fast, sir... You... mean... what?"

The chuunins looked at each other sighing. He opened the paper on his hand and gave it to Koguro.

The boy intensely glared at the red lines on the paper, along with his father's picture in the top right corner. His hand started to shake and his eyes couldn't control. He slowly glanced up, turning to the chuunins with a pleading look.

"I'm sorry... He must have told you nothing. The long-ago illness... it... it was too bad for our best medical staff to handle. We... we already told him to be prepared... I don't know... We are very very sorry..."

Koguro tried to stiffle his grief, but it was too intense... He fell down kneeling, his head bending down and tears dropped constantly on the floor... The stall door had been blew to flutter in and out...

.......

The Konoha park was filled with blessing winds and falling yellow leaves. Some of them floated in the air lightly before landing on Koguro and the wooden bench he was sitting...

"We promise we will issue with your academy about your new residence. Also Kushino has left something for you..." The chuunin searched his bag and took out a polished piece of paper and a ceramic bird... Its size was about the same with an adult's palm, For my dear Koguro's 12th birthday - Fly free. the paper wrote...

Koguro clutched the paper tight and gritted his teeth, curling up on the bench... Hot tears gently dripped on the soft ground beneath.

[Muk]

The next day Yuki with the help of Kiya continued their kunai training. They got better at it by afternoon, only missing the mark 8 out of 10 times.

Yuki still hadn't figured out what to do with henge or bunshin as of yet, since they were black replicas of her instead of those with propper toning and colors.

[Kuno]

Kiya worked hard with Yuki on the training with the kunai. They both seem to be getting a little better. Kiya tried standing behind the training dummy and talking so Yuki would know where to throw the kunai. But, after a couple of harrowing experiences she figured it wasn’t a good idea.

Her henge and bunshin were getting much better thanks to Yuki’s training and patients. But, they were still unable to figure out a way to get past Yuki's difficulties.

[KillamriX88]

Daiki unwillingly exited his bed. There wasn't much for him to do in Konoha. With his family not around, he couldn't learn jutsu from his father. In short, he didn't like being in Konoha. He didn't dislike the village, just being in it was annoying. He figured he would go practice his taijutsu somewhere and exited his house after putting on his clothes.

[Muk]

"Ahhhh" Yuki was getting frustrated with her henge. She does her handseals when she accidentally mixes some Bunshin seals inside her henge seals. She also does them rather fast and with a lot of chakra ready to be used.

Henge!

This time around she doesn't really transform herself. She 'transforms' her surrounding to match her vision instead of the other way around. A black orb of 30ft radius centered around Yuki appears.

It suddenly got silent and then those within the orb starts panicking. Losing their sight so suddenly was something rather frightening.

"Kiya what's wrong?" Yuki yells, but through all that screeming, she couldn't hear Kiya's voice.

Doton!

Using her earth seal, she felt where Kiya stood and approached her. Even as she stood next to Kiya, Kiya could not see through the darkness. Only as Yuki place her hand on Kiya, did Kiya finally notice someone was next to her.

"Kiya, what's wrong?"

[Addeh]

Hikaru was practicing by Kiya and Yuki. He couldn't see but heard screams and the sound of kunai flying. He dodged the ones that flew in his direction using only his hearing. "What happened?" he asked. "I can't see..." He added. He felt around to find where he was, accidentally running into people.

[Kuno]

Kiya’s mind couldn’t comprehend the total and immediate darkness that had enfolded her in it’s embrace. She screamed more out of shock at first then it was fear. Just as her fear began to turn into confusion and she could think again someone touched her.

“What the hell? Who the hell is it?” Kiya yelled as she jumped at the touch. “Yuki? Is that you Yuki?” she asks pleading could be heard in her voice as she truly hoped it was her new friend. “What happened? Everything went black…I can’t see anything…” Kiya said as her head turned different directions.

[Addeh]

Hikaru thought for a moment. "This has to be a genjutsu! Who is causing it?" He yelled out in the blackness. He ran into a few other people then stepped on a kunai. "Ow! Dang it! Who left a kunai on the ground?" He yelled. He was getting frustrated not being able to see.

[Muk]

"Er, what you mean you can't see. I am the blind one here. Yeah, its me Yuki. Ugh, this henge I am doing somehow feels very draining on my chakra. Aw man if you can't see how are you going to tell me how my henge was :cry.

I think I'll end it anyways."

Yuki releases her jutsu and all the vision returns. She's huffing and puffing as the jutsu was rather draining on her.

[Kuno]

Kiya looks around as her vision returns and falls to her knees to the ground. “My god…I thought I had gone blind…” she looks at Yuki somewhat horrified. “No offense…” she says as she takes deep breaths to calm herself and get her heart rate back under control.

A few minutes later Kiya turns to Yuki “The…the hand seals you did…I don’t think they were right…” Kiya says looking up at her friend. “And, the darkness receded when you released….” she says as her eyes go big. “Did you do that?” she asks.

[Muk]

"Hmm, I don't think so .... you sure I did them wrong? Well I wasn't really paying attention to them. I mean I've done them a thousand times, so I just did them unconsciously. But the release did feel strange and different. It felt outwards instead of inwards, like how you usually transform yourself. It felt like I transformed the outside world instead. But ... nah ... can't be... such a silly mistake as switching a few hands signs wouldn't honestly cause any fatal mistakes like that right?"

[Addeh]

Hikaru sighed as his vision came back and looked at the kunai going through his foot. He sighed again and pulled it out, wincing slightly. He put the kunai in his holster and walked back to the targets and started to practice. He hit the targets successfully one after another. "The only thing I'm good at." He said. "Maybe... I should practice jutsu." He said and made handsigns. "Bunshin no jutsu!" A clone appeared next to him. It was quite pathetic, miscolored, and smaller than Hikaru. He sighed and kept trying.

[Kuno]

Kiya looked at Yuki again as she looked around. “I don’t know…” she said with a sigh as she stands back up on shaky legs. “But something happened....Right as you finished….” she shakes her head a little. “I can’t be sure on the hand seals. You were going pretty fast….” she thinks a bit.

She bites her lip as she sees the boy throwing the kunai. “Why don’t we ask him if anything happened? That way we know it wasn’t me losing my mind?” she said half with a chuckle and the other half with hope.

Kiya takes a few steps forward. “Um…” she starts shyly “Can I ask you a question?” she says then glances at Yuki as she waits for a response.

[Addeh]

Hikaru turned to Kiya. "Sure... What is it?" He asked and threw another kunai from the side, hitting near the center of the target. He looked at the two, not recognizing them. He really didn't know anybody at the academy.

[Vergil]

The Hokage walked the streets of Konoha. All paid their respects to him and bowed deeply as he walked past. He awkwardly raised a hand and waved, he was uncomfortable with folk older than him bowing so deeply. Most people in Konoha were older than him. He got to the centre to where all the commotion was.

Kenji was still tied to a pole, still bruised and still horribly naked. The hokage wished this was the first time this had happened

"You know, Kenji, I'm going to get 1000s of letters asking for your dismissal as a teacher."

"Fine by me. Send me to the frontline where I can actually fight!"

"Sorry Kenji, no can do. You are our best teacher, despite your out of hours activities." The Hokage sighed, "I'm going to have to be especially creative with this excuse. Some sort of torture training I think, though I think they were a bit too focussed on one area. I didn't even know it could bend like....what the hell am I saying?!" The Hokage stopped before he thought about it anymore

A single tear fell from Kenji's face as he remembered the treatment from medical staff. It was worse than the actual punishment. The hokage cut him down and Kenji limped to the academy, after putting on some clothes, and was faced with the kids. Most of them laughed at him as they remembered what had happened

"Careful! or I might do the same to you." he growled back playfully.

He walked over to Yuki, Hikaru and Kiya. He looked at Hikaru's foot.

"Where the hell were you aiming?!"

[Addeh]

Hikaru hid his foot. "Well... when everything got dark... I kinda couldn't see where I was walking... What I was stepping on." He said nervously and laughed. "I have great aim with weapons... Jutsu have been... interesting." He added and threw a kunai behind his back, hitting his target. "See?"

[Vergil]

Kenji watched as the Kunai hit it's mark. These kids really had been practicing hard at this, but there would have to be even more work needed to be done, some may even be ready for the exams sooner than he thought they would be

"Everything got dark?" he rubbed his chin "genjutsu? but it sounds like a powerful one..not really my field of expertise. That Uchiha Sakura woman should know."

He turned to Yuki, "You know where that sister of yours is? Should be around here somewhere..."

He then noticed that Koguro wasn't there.

******************

The Hokage was outside Koguro's house. He couldn't just leave it as a letter. This kid was hurting, like so many in Konoha. He tapped on the door, hoping to talk with him

[Muk]

"My sis? Should you be the one that knows where the other teachers are? I haven't seen her since leaving home this morning. Probably at the teachers office or something."

"Sure lets ask that boy if he also noticed that black thingy you mentioned Kiya," Yuki responded.

"So the question is, Kiya here freaked out a few seconds ago, since something black surrounded her. Did you see that, too?"

"Oh nice throw there, sounds like it it the dummy, even while you were talking with us."

Yuki tries to throw one, too, but misses her target. It was only chipped the dummy then flew on further.

[Vergil]

"Teacher's office? Where the hell would that be?" Kenji mumbled to himself, he only stayed in school when he needed to. He watched as yuki tried her best with the dummy.

"You can sense chakra right? is it easier for you to hit a target with chakra?" he asked

[Muk]

"Sense Charka? What's that?" Yuki taps her feet on the ground before throwing her next kunai. With the earth acting like a radar, she easily sees her dummy target and hits it accurately.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

The door cracked open in a rather grevious fashion. The stall was left dusty and all the fruits turned sour and rotten. Above all the glass shelves lay a shiny polished emerald bird made of ceramic. It was stretching the little wings and its beak slightly open in a visible joy...

Koguro was waiting for his new residence somewhere in the village. The chuunin had told he needed a new guardian to watch over his growth. The wooden bench had been knick-knacking for the whole morning, as Koguro had sut still with his head down...

It sounded like someone had come to deliver news... Nothing would seem to matter Koguro during this period...

He fully opened the door and look up to find the incredible thing happening...

[Vergil]

"Well...uh..never mind... you sensed my kage bunshin before and me in my invisible state so I thought you could sense chakra. You seem to be doing ok anyways." He went off to where he thought the office was.

He found Uchiha Sakura after a few minutes. "there you are you stupid woman!" they had an interesting relationship where they would constantly put each other down.

"You know stuff about genjutsu right?! is there one which makes everything go dark?"

****************

The Hokage stood before Koguro. He knew the pain of losing parents early, he had been through the same thing as his were killed during this terrible war. He was 8 at the time and much too young to comprehend it, even now at 35 he would still miss them.

"Koguro, is it ok if I come in? I want to chat with you."

[Muk]

Uchiha Sakura answers, "Well there is the one from the first hokage, but why you asking? Are you saying someone put their hands in front of your eyes, making you go blind for a few seconds and you think a genjutsu of that level would have done it? Stop kidding yourself."

Yuki answered, "Oh about that Bunshin, he just sounded and smelled weird. And about you being invisible, that was me randomly bumbing into people, since I can't see." She points at her eyes, which show a rather empty expression, unfocused and all.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro was too surprised to even do a proper greeting to someone of such a great importance. He hesitated for a while, as he was still amazedly staring at the Hokage, before stepping aside making way for him to enter the stall.

He kept his stare on the Hokage, still unable to think of anything to say. His mind was a mess at the time. He watched the Hokage making his own seat and flinched as the man turned to him. He quickly turned to the door and close it.

Koguro looked at the Hokage, radiated from him something warm and healing. Koguro's mind started to let go of tensity as his heart regained normal beats. He slowly walked towards the bench to sit behind the man... waiting for his first word...

[Vergil]

'so yuki's other senses are greatly enhanced due to her blindness' Kenji thought, 'she could be a useful asset later down the line' Then he looked at Sakura

"yuh-huh! that's what happened someone put their hands over my eyes. God! I wish someone would do that right now so I wouldn't have to look at your fat face. Oh wait.." Kenji closed his eyes. "Much better!"

Kenji became a bit more serious

"I actually think one of our students has that ability, not many of them are here, but one of the suspects is your sis. You ever come across anything like that with her?"

Kenji had already planned for the next few days in terms of training. It would be a strict regiment of weapons and stamina. He needed to make sure they could endure more chakra usage and the only way for that is for them to sweat blood. He almost felt sorry for them.

Meanwhile the 3 assassins approached ever closer to Konoha through a network of tunnels.


********

"I lost my parents in the war." The Hokage said, cutting to the chase. "I was 8 at the time and my world was turned completely upside down." The Hokage moved and put an arm around Koguro's shoulder.

"I know what you are going through and though it seems totally hopeless, it'll get better with time. Konoha has a tradition of looking after it's own and we are all family here. Kenji, Sakura all the Jounin and me are your uncles and aunts, all the kids are your brothers and sisters and everyone in Konoha are your grandparents and your cousins. What I'm saying Koguro is that you are not alone. You never will be." The Hokage smiled warmly

"Anytime you want to talk just pop by and I'll be there. I'll sort out the funeral and things, so don't worry ok? plus I got a whole bunch of families who would jump at the chance to look after a good kid like you. Trust me - it'll get better. It always does."

The Hokage stood up and started to leave. "If you want to take some time off from the academy to grieve that's fine. Don't go diving into your training, it'll only make you angry and bitter like Bruce up on that hill." The Hokage pointed to a massive hill with a huge mansion. No-one ever went up there. "Take your time kid"

The Hokage left but he would make sure that Koguro was never alone and had the neighbours visit him

[Muk]

"Well she is from the great Uchiha bloodline. I wouldn't put it passed my sister for her to randomly develop other jutsu. She's got some talent in randomly modifying jutsu to her own liking. And who you call fat, cripple." Sakura says in an angry voice.

"I've got reports to write, unlike someone here who only thinks of peeping into the women's bath." Sakura leaves.

"Hmm, well if sis says so, I might have accidentally changed the jutsu just a little bit," Yuki thinks to herself.

Yuki tries to do that jutsu again, but to no vail. It was after all an accident and she certainly didn't figure it out for almsot half a day.

Finally when the night came, she managed to emite a small orb, surrounding almost just her own being in it. It was obvious where she was, but it surely was something similar to what she had displayed early this day.

"How was that Kiya, did that look like what happened early this morning?"

If Kiya pokes her hand into the blackness, her hand disappear, she cannot see into it all.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato walked up to Kiya and Hikaru. "So how about we have an all out face off against each other ? Might help us get stronger." Kevato grinned. He was ready to test his skills finally.

The other night Kevato had practiced and practiced on his kawairimi and bunshin. Draining all of his chakra left him tired, so he decided to take a rest, and now today he had found Kiya and Hikaru. Perfect, they can definetely push me to the limits of my ability. Kevato thought, as he waited for an answer.

[Nero92]

Rion woke up under that old and big tree with some eaten fruits around him.
"Oh...I was very tired from my training."
Rion had been training before he falls asleep.

He saw Kevato talking to 2 guys and Rion walked towards them.
"Hey dudes, my name is Riom.You are all from the Academy right?"

[Vergil]

Kenji thought deeply about Sakura's words

"Cripple? ah forget it." He turned his attention to the rest of the class.

"Right boys and girls, we're going all out this week! weapons training, chakra control and stamina and believe me it'll be tough."

Kenji went through the instructions with them all. He would be sure to make sure Koguro got the instructions too.

*************

One week skip

*************

Kenji was pleased with how they had all done.

Kazuma had an ongoing feud with the Hyuuga, which on this occassion Kazuma won. His chakra capacity and skill at weapons increased greatly, however the Hyuuga's chakra control was near perfect. Kazuma still found the kawarami timing a little difficult but would get there eventually, the henge was of a good standard but the bunshin was almost a complete write off

Kiya struggled with the stamina but her finesse at weilding a weapon was beautiful. Her chakra control was average. All three jutsus were progressing well and didn't show any specialty

Yuki had found a good sparring partner with Kiya and so her weapon wielding was also of a high standard. Once she had gotten used to the bumps in the track her stamina also increased. Her chakra control also improved, her adversity driving her forward. Her henge and bunshin were a different matter. Though the shape was roughly correct, the colours were all out of whack. Kenji was concerned. however she had displayed remarkable potential for her own genjutsu and her kawarami was perfect

Due to his mourning, Koguro missed a few lessons but whatever he did do, he did well. His potential was huge and all three attributes improved slightly. His specialty lay in the Kawarami, his taijutsu and timing were excellent. His henge was still slightly off as was his bunshin

Rion did extremely well at stamina and greatly increased his chakra capacity, but found weapon training a little difficult. His control was average. his bunshin was progressing well as was the kawarami. neither were perfect but infinitely better than his henge which he was really finding tricky.

Hikaru's chakra control was approaching a very good standard. He wouldn't have too much problem with the jutsus. The stamina training took it out of him though and didn't make too many strides there. His weapons training was average. The bunshin and the henge were almost spot on, but his timing was strangely off with the kawarami

Kevato and Shark didn't really excel in anything but made a valiant attempt. Their improvement was average across the board, along with their jutsus, though Kevato did improve a great deal in his henge, especially in the objects

[Nero92]

Rion was alone in a rock.
He was training for a week and now he was stronger.
All his abilities increased.He was good at kawarimi and Bunshin techniques but he has a weakness at henge even if he could perform it.
He trained hard and finally unlocked one part of his mystery and now his chakra increased.He knew that chakra is the most important and if he could master his powers he will be able to do anything he wants.
He also made some friends.

He was on the rock near the lake and was ready for another day.......

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

The dawn at the academy backyard echoed with wood tapping sounds. The wooden pole was tied by Koguro with ropes to practice every kind of Taijutsu hand attacks. A speedy combination of palm thrusts, elbow strikes, finger jabs, side-palm chops, middle knuckle strikes... and so on, had been going on for several hours till dawn...

Koguro's Taijutsu had been improving a good deal since last week. He had also somehow overcome his mournful grief for his father's loss, and had been striving to live up to what he held dear... He would want Kushino to be proud and easy to rest in the afterworld...

While his henge and bunshin techniques hadn't improved so much since his focus wasn't , his hand to hand prowess and Kawamiri had reached a level of slight expertise... And it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there was only one student left in the class who would make a match with him in term of punches and kicks - the cocky Hyuuga...

Koguro breathed heavily after the intense training. He decided to stop and take a good bath before the class started...

[Kuno]

Kiya awoke early, the sun filtering through her window weakly. She smiles as she hears the birds harrowing in a new day. She lays curled under her blankets for a few moments. For once her muscles didn’t ache quite as bad as usual. She thinks she can actually move for once. It has been a long week but she enjoyed every miserable minute of it.

She chuckles to herself as she sits up. “I didn’t realize that Yuki would be almost as bad a slave driver as Kenji-sensei….” Kiya says as she grabs her stuff and heads for the shower. She continues through her morning rituals and steps out the door locking it behind her. “At least I am getting up earlier now…” she said with a smile on her face and a slight bounce in her step as she heads to the academy once more.

[Muk]

Yuki returns from her early morning pre-academy practice. She's been working on her own free time on her genjutsu as well as that doton-goukyaku no jutsu. The genjutsu she had almost perfected to the point that she could keep it up for almost a whole 10 minute without tiring. As far as her Doton-jutsu came, she was spitting out mud the size of a first now.

"Morning mom, what we have?" Yuki says, but in all honesty she didn't care. She knew her mom made the best breakfast every anyways. She went up into the shower and cleaned herself off the morning sweat under a cold shower.

"Brr, cold..." she quickly switches the water to warm.

She comes down after finishing drying her short hair. "Itagakimasu" (SP?)

After her breakfast she calls Bobby and then she heads out towards the academy. Now without her walking stick. Her earth jutsu and stamina have advance far enough that she could keep up her earth sensing up all the time.

[Nero92]

Rion was still sitting on the rock and he was doing some hand seals.
Then Seki appeared behind the trees.
"Hey student, what are you doing here?" Seki walked closer to Rion and sat on the rock too.
"Ah...nothing really.I am just training to henge.I want to perfect it"
"Oh, fine.Give your best and one day you will become a grea ninja."
"I know.....but my real goal is a different one" Rion whispered

Rion grabbed his bag and fast stood up as he was heading to the Academy
Then a small paper felt from his pocket down near Seki.
Rion was already away when Seki took it from the ground and stood up to give it to Rion.
"Oh that kid.I will give it to him later"
Seki was curious and looked the paper.
"Aha.......that boy is training to more ninjutsus alone.I should be mad but.......this is the spirit of a ninja"

[senorjuanathan]

" So...this is konoha village.." Ryu sighs to himself, leaning his big cleaver on his shoulders Ryu walked through the entry gates into the hidden leaf village. Not needing any direction because he had previously studied a map of Konoha village in his home town before departure, Ryu made his way slowly towards the academy, trying hard to take the back lots and not be noticed too much. "I dont know why i had to come here to learn..what does that old fart know anyways...ill show him" Ryu said to himself in frustration.

Arriving at the academy Ryu saw no one out front.." I guess ill just wait here till i get further directions" Ryu said out loud thinking how lazy the ninjas from this village were not being here so early. Ryu sat under a tree and pulled out his genjutsu book that he picked up in the hidden mist village.

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato had trained with Kiya, Hikaru, and Rion all week. He had perfected the Bunshin finally, using one against Kiya, while he personally fought Hikaru. They had all gotten much stronger. Kevato knew he would learn something harder soon, all of these techniques were baby steps in the ninja world. Kevato wanted something really challenging. He knew though none of the teachers would though. Even if it angered him a little, Kevato shrugged it off. New techniques, they will come in time anyways. Kevato thought to himself.

[Vergil]

kenji woke up screaming andpouring with sweat. it was a bad dream, he checked under the sheets to make sure his equipment was still in working order. the jounin three had really done a number on him. he shook his head and got changed for his academy class. he blew a kiss to his wife, paid his respects to his fallen friends and headed out

the week had been very productive indeed. he had a meeting with te hokage

"well kenji, what do you think of this years bunch?" the hokage asked, still behind a mountain of paperwork.

"tell you honestly, its been a mixed bag, but we should get some good soldiers. in fact I'm so impressed with a few of them I'd be happy to put on an exam in a month or so."

the hokage looked at him as if he were mad.

"are you serious? they've not even got to through that ninja code, flower arranging or history"

"you telling me that's important at this time. we need fighters not theorists or spies. my clan has been doing espionage for years now and the nara clan has more than enough strategists. we need folk on the frontline!" kenji said slamming his fist down. the hokage looked at him.

"I hope this isn't a misguided effort to stop any more casualties there because a lot of kids will die if their not ready." the hokage looked into kenjis eyes and realized he meant it. how talented were these kids? he wondered.

the three warriors charged with slaying the academy kids had reached the tunnel that lead to the academy training ground. they would be a few hours....

[senorjuanathan]

"If you want something to be done i guess you gotta do it yourself" Ryu muttered in frustration of not being able to get started early on training his jutsus. With fluid like motion Ryu jumped up and ran from rooftop to rooftop surveying the land while making his way up to hokage."The sooner i get my training the sooner i am to be one step closer to my goal.."

Like a wave crashing down on him, Ryu's memories of his past in the hidden mist village...memories not wanted by Ryu anymore.. only the promise of his Mizukage..." Go Ryu Kisame to the land of fire. Seek training amongst the Konoha village, there your ablilities know no bounds. And maybe we can restore whats ever left of our village's pride and in return the respect of your superiors" Mizukage said.... As the memories faded Ryu found himself slamming into the Hokage's door. WOAH! Ryu cried out as he bashed through the door and rolled into the Hokage's room...

[Zoidberg]

"Now that we're introduced, why don't we have you take a seat near Ms. Seimei, at the back?" Mr. Kaiju pointed to a seat next to a girl with jet black hair fixed in a pony tail. After Mizuryu sat down Mr. Kaiju thought it appropriate to began lessons. "Now then, shall we begin today's lessons with a pop quiz on our village's history?" The entire class groaned except for Mizuryu. "Would anyone want to pass the papers?" Only Yumi raised her hand. "Very well, Yumi. Go ahead and pass the papers."

Yumi took the papers from Mr. Kaiju and began to pass the papers to everyone. "You're in trouble now, Hattori." She said to Mizuryu as she gave him his paper. Mizuryu took a brief glance of the paper. "50 questions? Pretty big for a pop quiz." He thought before answering. "This'll be a breeze."

Kirigakure border

Several hundred Ninja from the newly formed Shiogakure(Village hidden in the tides) and other small villages prepared themselves for a surprise attack on Kirigakure. "Today is a glorious day for Shiogakure, and our allies! Our enemies to the north, Kirigakure, will be crushed under our might! Prepare to move out!" With a loud cheer the Shiogakure ninja ventured out of the island they were camped to attack. Hundreds of ninja sped across the water, heading straight for Kirigakure. At the same time, scores of these ninja were falling into the water, dragged down by some unknown force. "Wh-at's happening!?" A ninja said as he saw his fellow ninja sink into the water. He would find out soon enough, as he felt rows of teeth grabbing his leg and dragging hin into the abyss.

Underneath the waves he saw many ninja being dragged to the bottom by hordes of sharks. He yelled a final, silent shout, for in the water his voice was mute. Atop the waves, a giant hammerhead shark rose from the sea, slamming its massive body on top of the enemy ninja. "Woo-hoo! This is awesome!' A young man with jet black hair wearing the standard kirigakure jounin uniform, but with a hammerhead symbol on his right arm said, flailing his giant wakizashi around while riding the giant shark.

"Wanizame, you just broke our cover!" A lithe young woman with red hair said while slicing through several ninja with a saber half the size of her body. "Aww, Don't be like that Hitomi." Wanizame said casually. Hitomi did not answer him, instead focusing on bombarding the enemy with water jutsu.

"You two had best not be bickering, or Nobunaga and Ieyasu will get angry." A 7 foot tall man with long blue hair reaching his feet said. A group of Shiogakure ninja charged him as he was talking with Hitomi and Wanizame, but the man merely held up a dagger adorned with blue crystals and then suddenly the attacking ninja were dragged under by a vortex of water. This vortex then approached the tall man , and fused itself with his sword, creating a blade made from the tides itself.

On the island base of the Shiogakure ninja, there was much panic. "What the hell is happening out there!" Yelled the leader of the shigakure ninja. " Sir we have been ambushed by the-" His words were stopped when the island began to shake, and sink into the water. Many of the ninja who did not go down with the island were dragged down by Wanizame's sharks.

A few minutes later the same island rose behind Wanizame and the others. Upon closer inspection the island turned out to be a giant turtle. Sitting atop its head was a young, blonde woman with a masamune-style katana resting next to her. "Oh don't be a prude, Kyokan!" She called to the tall man. "Who cares what those old farts say?" She said.

Upon mentioning the word 'old fart' a woman in her 50s with snow white hair rose from the water, carrying a katana twice her size. " What's that about old farts, Kagura?" She asked, a bit irritated to being referred to as old. "You have to forgive them, Tetsuno. They'll get theirs soon. An man, also in his 50s, rose from the water. On his back were 2 swords, Both of which were jagged at its edges. "Nobunaga, Tetsuno, you old coots! Wait for me!" An imposing man the same age as Nobunaga and Tetsuno rose from the water. On his back was a great cleaver, larger than the ones everyone else wielded. "Glad you joined the party, Ieyasu!" Tetsuno said.

From a distance, the leader of the attack on Kirigakure was trembling. "Sir!" A jounin from another village called to him. "We have to retreat!" The leader stood there, paralyzed. "Sir! Sir!" But the jounin's calls were unanswered. "The seven swordsmen have come for us.We might as well be dead." The leader of the attack said.

[Vergil]

"ah, so you're the student training with us...wait! I just filed those!" Ryu's momentum kept him going towards the table of neatly stacked papers. His head raced through all the jutsu he knew that would stop him but not kill him but before he could execute it the table and the papers went flying.

With a tear in his eye the Hokage said "Welcome to Konoha..."

He explained where the academy was and that his teacher would be Kenji sensei, the best in Konoha.

"This is surely a huge burden for you. As an act of good faith and an attempt to improve relations between the 2 villiages, you have been sent. Now some kids will absolutely not trust you but don't lose hope. I'm sure you'll turn them around."

Many of the kids had their parents killed in this war by shinobi from other villiages, including the mist. The Hokage knew that he was going to have a hard time. He looked at Ryu Kisame and knew that he would be stupid not to keep him under surveillance. Whilst he didn't want to hurt the boy's feelings he had to put Konoha first. When the boy would leave, the Hokage would summon a small bird, one native to Konoha, to follow Ryu and report back undetected. The Hokage wished for times of peace.

Afternoon was approaching Konoha and Kenji all the teachers had gone. The kids were more than capable of training without supervision. If something horrible were to go wrong, the med centre was only round the corner.

The teachers had a meeting with the Hokage to discuss the new kid.

Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas burst forth from the tunnel and rushed to assasinate the academy students

(OOC: you guys are in control of these guys; they know nothing of chakra and the likes - they only know what they can do in the movies/books. Make it a good fight!)

[Nero92]

As Rion was reaching the front wall around the academy he climbed to see from the other side.
He suddenly saw 3 shandows coming from the ground.
"What the...?"
He stayed there and watching them.
Then he saw them drawing their weapons.
And that moment a new boy that Rion have never seen in the Academy was walking towards them without seeing them.
The other Students were some metres away and were training.Some other students were not there yet.
And then Rion throws some shurikens at their direction.
A fat guy walkes in front and with his big axe dodge them all.
The shurikens were enough to make that boy notice them and start running.
Rion jumped to the inside and start running and jumping as fast as he could to the other students.........

[Vergil]

Legolas had already fired off many arrows and most had found their mark on the academy students. Aragorn charged and swung his sword slashing at some of the kids, some dodged and ran, soon the numbers were decreased either through cowardice, injury or death. Only a few stood firm against them

[Zoidberg]

It had been 20 minutes since the pop quiz began. Everyone was having a hard time answering. Some barely got past the first question. Mizuryu, however, was already done. He stood from his chair, carrying the test paper. "Excellent, Mr. Hattori." Kaiju said. "It seems you're done." Kaiju's words caused a stir amongst the students. "He's done? No way, he must've just answered randomly." One of the students thought. At the same time, Seimei stood from her desk. "I'm done, Sir." She said. Mizuryu was surprised. It seems that he wasn't the only one who found it with ease.

Seimei dressed modestly in comparison with most people her age. She wore a long, flowing dress with a green floral print. Aside from that, she had a gold necklace, which glistened in the night. "Looks like I have a rival." Mizuryu said. Yumi was annoyed. She quickly answered all the questions, and stood up. "I'm done too!" She said. Mizuryu walked casually towards Mr. Kaiju, as did Seimei. The two of them placed their papers at the same time. Yumi, not wanting to be outdone by a Hattori, placed her paper down as well. She glared daggers at Mizuryu, but the green-glassed young man didn't notice. Seimei looked at him as well. "It looks like I have found my equal." She thought "First day in class and already he's popular with the girls." A student with long green hair grumbled.

"Excellent!" Kaiju said. "I'll grade your papers now." Kaiju took out the answer sheet from his desk. Yumi, Seimei, and Mizuryu stared on as Kaiju checked their tests. "Perfect score, I'm sure of it." He thought.

Kirigakure border
The battle was over. Hundreds of injured ninja floated in the water. In the old days these ninjas would be immediately slaughtered by the victors. But that was then. Now, in accordance with the Amegakure Accords, a team of Konoha and Kirigakure ninja were performing clean up. "5 raids in 3 days..." Tetsuna said. "Everyone sure is getting hostile with us." Kagura sighed. "It's because so many villages wanting to expand started springing up..." The tall Kyokan approached them. "I fear that a full-scale war is about to begin.." The tall swordsman said. Ieyasu approached them. "Actually.." In the old warrior's hand was a note. "We are in war. They just sent the formal declaration." He said, looking at the note given to him by the Mizukage.

[Kuno]

Kiya heads to the academy. She feels good about the day as the sun shines down she has a slight bounce to her step. She watches the people as she walks by. Everyone seems to be in good humor and talking with the people they care about.

As Kiya gets near the academy she begins to hear weird sounds. Her step quickens as the sounds get louder and more frantic. “This can’t be good…” she thinks as she breaks into a run.

She runs around the side of the building and skids to a halt next to Rion. She dodged while she ran and she was barely missed by an arrow. “What the hell is going on?” she asks him looking around at the carnage before her.

[Nero92]

"They must be some kind of assassins."
An arrow passes just in front of him and then Rion ducks.
"Oh, shit they are really good and dangerous."
The 2 kids moved behind a wall.

"Hey Kiya go inform the others.Tell them that our only hope is to co-operate all together."

Rion use his Bunshin technique and sends it to the enemies so Kiya will be free to run to the others.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

The academy was soon obstreperous and turbulent. Everything turned as chaos, the teachers were far away and had absolutely no idea at what had been happening. Only a few were standing against the three new comers, and Koguro wasn't among them. He had just walked out of the bath house and knocked into a little girl who was screaming hard and running faster than her breath. She stared at Koguro pleadingly and stood up to continue running.

Koguro looked down from the balcony to see the yard filled with yells along with an outrageous chaos...

It was crowded so that he couldn't see things clear. The only thing for sure was that at the furthest point from his eyesight there stood a long hair blonde who was pulling his bow and shooting arrows randomly at the kids.

This was unacceptable. As he looked more carefully he saw several Rions who were charging at the guy only to find himself disappear in puff of smoke.

Koguro grabbed a stone, tossing it to the air and skillfully reached his hand to grab it in midair and launched it directly at the blonde archer yards away down.

The stone pierced the air in a line, but then an arrow flew directly counter it and easily broke it, shooting ahead aiming at Koguro.

He would love to catch it with his bare hands, but to be realistic, what he could do was only to barely lean aside to let the arrow pass and stick on the wall behind him.

Koguro immediately glared back at the archer, who was glaring at him, and dropped down on the first floor like a feather.

[Nero92]

Rion was alone for some minutes in this terrible fight.
"Guys come here and help me!!"
Rion was using his Bunshin and Kawarimi techniques.
Then he started running behind objects to save himself.

"We can do it all together guys"
Then Koguro was moving closer to Rion
"Dude where are the others?" Rion asked him when he saw Koguro

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"I just barely know things like you!" Koguro glared at the archer who had just shot through his stone. "I don't know whether we can stand a chance against these guys, looks like some one has to go inform Kenji-sensei... or Sakura-sense... or Seki-sensei... or Hokage-sama... anyone!!!" Koguro turned to Rion, concern glittered in his eyes. He turned back to the previous direction to find the archer had been approaching them. Koguro looked at Rion again. It was too late to run and they should do something together in hope to buy time for anyone to offer help.

......

"For Gondor!!!" Aragorn chased a weeping kid around and around the yard with his sword.

[Nero92]

"Damn......!!"
Rion had something in mind but he was not sure for this and maybe was dangerous for Koguro to see it.
"Listen....I have something special but I can't use it yet.I need you to start running and go call the others when I stand up"
Koguro agreed.
Then Rion stood up and appeared in front of the enemies.
And then Koguro started running behind Rion.
Rion's eyes started changing.A dark aura surrounded him.Something like gust was around him only.
The 3 evil men were staring him.Rion's whole appearence was magnificent that moment.
"Is he something a wizard or something?"The fat guy said.
"You moron, he just has the ring!" the man with the bow said to him
"Shut up ....Only I know what he is.He is ......an.........ORC!!!" the man with the long sword shouted.

"Damn you!!!" Rion was really serious."You killed my parents!!"
"Hey Gimli, did you kill any parent lately?."
"Nope.Only some cows."

Rion made a hand seal and something like a wind ball landed in front of the 3 men causing them confusion because of the dust that came up in their eyes.

Rion tattoo was glowing but then Rion just disappeared in one second and reappeared on a high spot waiting for the others.His rage ended and he changed back

[Kuno]

Kiya nods to Rion. “Right…” she says as she takes off after the clones at been dispersed. She gets outside the gate and stands there for a moment.

“How should I know where everyone would be…” she says to herself. “If I just take off…I could run for hours and not find anybody. Damn it!” Kiya begins to think cringing at the screams behind her. She sees a few of her classmates walking down the street and signals to them to hurry. They begin to run toward her seeing the look of fear on her face. As they reach her she explains quickly the little information she knew. They nod and run in to help Rion, Koguro, and any others trying to fight the skilled men.

Kiya tries to think of a strategy that might help them gain the upper hand. “Where’s Yuki…we need her darkness…” she mumbles looking down the streets almost frantically. She turns back to the schoolyard. She doesn’t want to move to far from the gate. She is hoping to catch Yuki as she gets there. To get her to use her darkness.

Kiya feels her shuriken pouch to make sure she has plenty. And, feels for her senbon. Making sure she had them with her. They are new to her but she seems to have a natural knack for them. She creeps forward and waits.

[oro-shine-my-shoe!]

As Shimma and the other Jounins were discussing some matters with the Hokage, she sensed that something was amiss.

She closed her eyes and scanned Konoha with her adept chakra sensing skills. She noticed that there were 3 unfamiliar chakra sources.

"My, my. Bloody cowards. Attacking the Academy." Shimma thought to herself while grinning.

"Hokage-sama. Could you please forgive me, I have something important to attend to."

"You have important things everyday do you Shimma? Go ahead." said the Hokage while shaking his head.

Shimma reappeared on a tree branch, unseen by the 3 intruders and the Academy students.

"Oh, its that girl. What was her name again? Kiya?" Shimma thought to herself as she saw a girl settling down below her position checking her weapons pouch.

Shimma was about to leap down to assist Kiya when she remembered, "Oh yea. This could be a test for the Academy students. It would be interesting to see how they handle the situation."
...

[BloodofAnUchiha]

Kevato watched the intruders from a distance. There were three of them. One wielded a huge axe, while one used a long sword. The one Kevato was worried about though was the one with the two twinblade swords and bow and arrow. He's going to be the tough one to beat. Kevato decided that this would definetely show how strong he had truly become.

Kevato jumped out of the bushes and into the fray where the man with the bow and arrow, and the two short swords. "My name is Kevato.....remember it !"

"I am Legolas. The heralded fighter of the Dark Elves. You shall bow before my might, child." Legolas coldly retorded.
"Your going to have to cut my legs off to do that." Kevato grinned. He wanted to test Legolas, to see how much torment he could handle before the man would attack him. "What's wrong ? Not scared of a kid like me are you ?" Kevato taunted.
"You would dare to mock me child ? A puny little scum like you would never beat a Royal Elf. " Legolas then drew his bow, and fired several arrows at Kevato, Kevato took out his smoke bomb and threw it at the same time. Then using his kawairimi, Kevato let the arrows hit the replacment log instead.

Legolas searched around for Kevato, but was caught off guard when Kevato came from his right with a punch to his jaw sending Legolas sprawling to the ground.

"It seems that I have underestimated a child. I will not do so again," Legolas drew his swords. Kevato knew he would be in trouble if he tried using his kunai against even a short sword because of its lightness and ability to make faster attacks. Even then Kevato would only be able to block only one of them. The second would certainly be a direct hit on Kevato's vitals.
This is going to get rough Kevato thought as he made several hand signs.

[senorjuanathan]

The cries of dying children and students rang out with what seemed to be of no avail, the scene was all to famiiar to Ryu. Blood.....violence..laughing in the same wake of destruction. Ryu thought he must at least do something to even the odds a little bit so that the konoha students who were on scene could counter.

"Kirigakure no Jutsu" said Ryu as he formed the serpant hand seal with practiced determination...slowly Ryu felt a sense of comfort as the battlefield grew with a thick and eerie mist..."Not done just yet fellas heh...Kasumi Juusha no Jutsu!!" ryu cried out as parts of the mist turned into numerous Ryu mist clones.

gimli: " AHH blasted kids im already short now i cant even see a damn thing!" gimli said in frustration as he tried to slice away at the mist all around him.

Legolos: " Bout to get another one gim haha, more than u i bet !" Legolos laughed as he saw a kid standing.. not moving just looking at him. " So you want to make peace with yourself huh kid" ..legolos drew his bow back and the arrowflew straight and true at the kids heart...."WAH!!!' " A GHOST!!" .. legolos could not believe his eyes as the arrow pierced the boys heart, the only thing that layed there was the arrow. Ryu's jutsu had worked... was it enough time for the others to counter....

[Addeh]

Hikaru was walking through town and started to hear the sounds of battle. Hmm? What is that? He walked toward the academy and reached for his weapons, which he was extremely efficient with. He increased his speed and skid in front of one of the unfamiliar people. He couldn't see much through the mist, but he was using his other senses. "Who are you? What do you want?" He asked.

The man chuckled a little from inside the mist. "I am Aragorn. What I have come here for... I will not tell you. But you will die now!" He yelled and slashed his sword in the mist.

Hikaru hastily blocked at the sword with a kunai. He struggled to hold it in place. Suddenly, his kunai flew out of his hand and the sword slashed him downward through the middle of his body. The cut wasn't very deep, but it was a long cut. Hikaru made his footsteps loud enough to be heard. Need to get out of the mist. He thought and walked toward the outside of the mist. Aragorn followed.

"Stop running, cowardly fool!" Aragorn commanded until they were completely out of the mist. He slashed his sword several times at Hikaru. These slashes were extrely accurate now that he could see. "Die!" He yelled.

"Damn..." He mumbled and very show-off-like dodged the slashes. After the last one passed over the crouched Hikaru, he cut Aragorn's arm deep with a kunai, causing Aragorn to weaken his grip a little. I need to get him unarmed first... He thought and kept dodging the repeated slashes.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Koguro noticed some of the reinforcement had come to slower the slaughter, but with only such a thin layer of academy kids without a higher level shinobi, the defense would easily be broken in no time.

Gimili was randomly hitting around since he was blinded by the mist, Aragorn had found an opponent to be stuck with. It wouldn't last for long if that boy didn't get help... But first, it seemed like... the archer... Legolas or something appeared to be in no trouble amongst the mist. If Koguro well recalled he mentioned something of the Dark Elves, who was hailed with the fabled elves eyes that could see as far as a mature Byakugan itself...

He needed to be disabled first. Kevato was handling him pretty well at the moment, but just like Hikaru's case, it wouldn't last for long. They will need a joint effort on this. Not any particular academy kid was completed enough to singly take on any one of them. That would help if the Hyuuga was here or something. Their teachers seemed like taking forever to get back.

It would be great to assemble them all right now, but the problem was Koguro barely knew anyone of them... He just missed 5 out of 7 days in class, having taken occasional private homework materials from Kenji and Seki...

He knew it would be foolish to fight one-on-one like this, and whatever he could do, he would have to do it... wisely. Koguro started to speed around the yard; almost no one was there, except for the ones that were fighting. He tried to find traces among the injured unconscious kids lying on the ground, but it seemed like no one was able to even open eyes.

He continued to look around confusedly as he kept speeding up and hit his a face on a tree, falling backwards. That would be normally embarassing, but this was an emergency and things had to be hurried. Koguro managed to stand up with his bruised nose and continued to speed forwards, and hit another something, again fell backwards. He cursed himself in the head and started to stand up. This time it was not a tree. Koguro intended to speed up again but then held back when he realized it was actually someone...

[Muk]

Kiya nods to Rion. “Right…” she says as she takes off after the clones at been dispersed. She gets outside the gate and stands there for a moment.

“How should I know where everyone would be…” she says to herself. “If I just take off…I could run for hours and not find anybody. Damn it!” Kiya begins to think cringing at the screams behind her. She sees a few of her classmates walking down the street and signals to them to hurry. They begin to run toward her seeing the look of fear on her face. As they reach her she explains quickly the little information she knew. They nod and run in to help Rion, Koguro, and any others trying to fight the skilled men.

Kiya tries to think of a strategy that might help them gain the upper hand. “Where’s Yuki…we need her darkness…” she mumbles looking down the streets almost frantically. She turns back to the schoolyard. She doesn’t want to move to far from the gate. She is hoping to catch Yuki as she gets there. To get her to use her darkness.

Kiya feels her shuriken pouch to make sure she has plenty. And, feels for her senbon. Making sure she had them with her. They are new to her but she seems to have a natural knack for them. She creeps forward and waits.

Yuki was walking down the street when she felt people running. She also identified through their run that one of them was Kiya. She knew Kiya was still around the corner and looking for someone, so she decides to sneak up on her.

Yuki blends herself in with the crowd. As the crowd passes Kiya, she exits and stands right behind her.

"Morning Kiya!" Yuki whispers into Kiya's ear.

[Kuno]

Kiya squeaked as Yuki came up behind her. She then turned to her friend. "Yuki!" she said putting her hand on her friends shoulder. "We have a big problem...the academy is under attack...I think we are going to need your darkness..." she said crouching behind the tree once more.

Kiya watched until the mist fell upon the area. She glared into it looking for one of the attackers. Something she could aim at. Finally the one with the broadsword come flailing out after Hikaru. She threw one Senbon and then just as she was about to throw the next one….

Kiya was so intent on watching the attackers and aiming at the swordsman that she hadn’t seen the person coming when he slammed into her. “Oof..” she let out a huff of breath as she hit the ground. He slammed her hard causing her to drop her senbon. She immediately jumped up and pulled out a kunai readying herself for an attack. Kiya then realized that it was a boy that she had seen in class before. Not much but once or twice. She looked at him for a moment a twitch of a smile graced her lips then put her hand out to help him up.

[Muk]

"Hmm ... doesn't it feel like a mist is up? Someone can use water jutsu. I don't think I should add my darkness on top of that." Yuki answers.

She performs her Doton seal and puts her hand on the ground. "From what I can tell, our students are fighting a fat, short dude, a thin and high dude, and an adult human with a large sword? The closest one is the human adult.

Watch behind you someones ..." Too late. Kiya got bumped into by that boy.

"Hmm the human seems rather busy with Hikaru, was that his name? Hey kiya do you have any extra explosive tags? I only have one. Wait here for me, I'll be back in just a sec."

Yuki dashes into the mist. She sneaks up behind Aragon, who's rather concentrating on Hikaru. Yuki silently plants her explosive tag on one of his legs and then sneaks back to Kiya.

'Kai!' A loud explosion. It blew Aragons left legs right off. "That should make Hiraku's battle easier. Let's find the others."

[Addeh]

"Thanks!" he called and watched Aragorn limp then fall to the ground. As Aragorn fell to the ground, his sword flew out of his hand. Hikaru picked up the sword. "Have a taste of your own medicine!" He yelled and stabbed at Aragorn's heart. It went through and Aragorn gasped. "You know... you didn't have to make my battle that easy by blowing his whole leg off!" He called. Hikaru grabbed the sheath to Aragorn's sword and sheathed it, keeping it with Aragorn's body in respect. He lifted the body by an arm and flung it at Legolas. He walked over to Kiya and Yuki. "Thanks for the help." Hikaru said and looked at the large slash that was going down the front of his body.

[Vergil]

The bird that was following Ryu sped back to the Hokage's office and informed everyone what was happening.

"Shit." Kenji sped off to the academy along with the other teachers. He saw Shimma crouched down watching, she had her kunai ready but wasn't about to throw it.

"What the hell are you doing? We have to go down and help!" Kenji started to move towards the battlefield

[Nero92]

Rion was still on the wall when he looked down the corner and near some rocks there was something strange.
He jumped there.He lifted the rocks and saw a magnificent sword with a silver blade and a gold handle like a dragon's head.
"Ohhh.....what the....?"
There were some symbols curved on the blade.
Rion knew that this sword was special.But, he just bundled it up with some clothes and put it in his bag.Then he jumped at the yard and was just behind the 3 men.
It was the time for all the student to combine their powers and beat those guys.

[senorjuanathan]

" i think that did the trick, as the mist faded Ryu could see that one of the intruders had been finished off.."Must of been him.." Ryu said as he saw a boy with a cut across his chest and 2 other students with him.. MY TURN! a sudden burst of energy Ryu flew across the air with his big cleaver in both hands swiping down on Legolas.

"gonna have to be quicker than that boy!" Legolas mocked Ryu as he dodged his cleaver with ease.. " AHH!! cried out Ryu as he flung his sword down crashing through the ground...gasping for breath and feeling drained " I must finish this!"..Ryu struggling to get up just in time to see legolas with grace slicing through the last of his clones and the water falling behind him.." You will die today kid and so will all of the future of Konoha!" legolas raised his sword and sliced through Ryu's neck..nothing happened for a second..water started pouring from Ryu's eyes and the last thing Legolas saw was the light of the morning sun hit Ryu's body that had transformed into water.." WHAAA?!!" Legolas cried

"Mizu Henge no jutsu!" and the water puddle behind legolas turned into Ryu and with the last of his strength Ryu plunged his sword through Legolas' chest, ryu felt the warm blood spray everywhere as he fell to the ground in exhaustion. " Not gonna be walkin around anymore elf! hahahah laughed aloud Ryu as he could only gaze into th empty shocked eyes of his first kill.

[oro-shine-my-shoe!]

"Oh come on Kenji. Let the kids have some experience. I was waiting for it to become too out of hand for them before i intervene. But since you're here..." said Shimma as she followed Kenji towards the battlefield.

She wasn't expecting the intruders as much of a challenge since the rest of the jounins have arrived.

Shortly after, they arrived at the battlefield. It looked horrible. There were bodies of dead academy students all around.

"This is getting to much Kenji, we're gonna have to kill them. Now." Shimma said with an angry voice.

[Muk]

Gimli could see again as the mist disappeared. He charged at the one who had killed Aragon.

"Well the fatty is charging at our way," Yuki yelled. She throws a few kunai at Gimili, but with his big axe, he blocks those attempts.

"Well better run!" Yuki drags Kiya along with her as they run away and jump up a roof top. Knifes fly their way, Gimili's knifes were flying their way.

[Kuno]

Kiya nods to her friend and digs into her pouch. She pulls out one explosive tag. “Damn…I thought I packed more…” she turns to the boy that had run into her. “I don’t suppose you have anymore?” she said glancing at him.

She then saw Yuki coming back to them. “Duck!” Kiya said pushing his head down. “Now that is just nasty…” she says as the blood and gore from the leg rained down on them like some warm summer rain. She looked up just as Hikaru finished him off. “One down….two to go….” she said as Hikaru walked up.

Kiya checked his wound carefully but quickly. “Nothing that can’t wait until this is over.” she says to him and looks at the small group gathered. “Now what should we do….” she said putting her explosive tag in Yuki’s hand.

She turned then everything happening so fast. She saw the dwarf charging them and then Yuki grabbed her. "Hold on!" she said. She pulled out two senbon and threw them with deadly accuracy as she was being dragged. They headed straight for him. Though Kiya got jerked back around by Yuki she didn't see where they hit, if they hit at all....

[Muk]

"Well since only one is left, your pretty good with the aim right? We'll just tie the explosive to the knuai, you throw it and let it explode in his face, that should do some real damage. If not at least it'll distract him long enough for us to finish him off." Yuki ties the tag to the kunai and hands it back to Kiya.

"Go girl!" knives continue to fly their way from below. Yuki starts throwing shuriken at Gimili, barraging him with them, keeping him busy allow Kiya to hit him dead on.

[Vergil]

"Wait, look!" As the others were fighting the Hyuuga kid and the timid girl were carrying the injured and dead away from the battle field and to the med centre. There was only the short one left who was battling bravely but in the end would be overcome. If there was any doubt in his mind it was swept away, these kids were something special.

"Go to the med centre and see the extent of the damage. I'll subdue the last one. We need to keep him alive for information." Kenji turned invisible and executed a perfect palm strike to the short man's chin, the power rendered him unconscious. They were about genin level, the students had done exceptionally well.

He felt a senbon hit his butt

[Zoidberg]

"WHAT!!!!" Yumi yelled. "THIS GUY GOT A PERFECT SCORE!?!?" She pointed to Mizuryu, who was standing next to her. "Cheer up, Yumi. You have a perfect score too." Mr. Kaiju toldd her. "I WILL NOT ALLOW TO BE CONSIDERED EQUAL TO THIS BOY!" She pointed at Mizuryu once again, but he wasn't there when she pointed. "WHERE DID HE GO!?" Seimei tapped her on the shoulder. "Seimei? Do you know where he is!?" She asked frantically. Seimei nodded, and pointed to Mizuryu's chair.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE!?" Mizuryu yawned. "I'm waiting for the bell to ring." On cue, a loud ringing noise sang through the hallway. "Ah, the bell has rung. time for lunch, class." Kaiju said. The students began to stampede out, except for Seimei, Mizuryu, and Yumi. "YOU! HATTORI! WE FIGHT AT THE SCHOOL YARD IN 5 MINUTES!" Yumi yelled before leaving the room. Mizuryu sighed. "Is she always like that?? He said to Seimei. She didn't speak, but merely nodded. "The silent type, eh? Well, I'll see you later." Mizuryu waved his hand as he left class.

When he went to the corridors, he was faced with a tall boy wearing a green shirt with tears with red hair, and a girl with blue hair and large, dorky glasses. "That was pretty cool, you matched Yumi when it came to tests." The boy said. "No one ever perfects a test except for Yumi, you're good." The girl with large glasses said while fixing the positioning of her glasses. "Thanks." Mizuryu said. "I'm sorry, but I didn't get your names" The two of them looked at each other. "Should I?" He asked the bespectacled girl. "Go ahead." She said to him. "Okay, allow me to introduce myself. The name's Gaichou Fuuma." He pointed his thumb to himself. "And this is Soru Misato." He pointed to the besepactacled girl. "Hi." She said. "So... wanna have lunch?" Gaihou asked. Rek grinned. "I thought you never asked."

Rion was walking towards the unconcious Gimli.
He saw many dead bodies of kids around and was really mad.
He put his one foot to the neck of Gimli and with his right hand grabbed the sword that he found.
"You made a big mistake coming here"
Rion at seconds stabbed Gimli with his sword.When the blde passed through he felt something strange.His tattoo started glowing and a strange sound....
It was like his powers was increasing.....
Then al stopped and saw the others ..
"So we beat them guys?"

"Well, what the ..." Yuki feels the dwarf fall without any of them dealing the killing blow.

"I guess it was the sensei who saved the day," Yuki says somewhat disappointed. Her blood's been boiling.

To Koguro, "Well I guess not really. He's already K.O./Dead nothing left to do."

Retrieving his cleaver from the chest of legolas Ryu made his way of to Kenji.. " This is a horrible sign kenji-sensei .. how can Konoha let goons like these just pass on in! ..precaution is expected in times like these.. shirly you know this sensei." ryu said strongly. Ryu was not like other nin in his country, far more mature with the realism of the world. Ryu did not mean any disrespect speaking in such a manor, yet he felt he got the message across... Kenji-sensei...what do we do now?

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

OOC: I deleted my previous post. Assume Koguro did nothing.

Koguro felt like an ass without anything really be done by himself except mere running around and hitting trees and girls and those were all. He was now fully standing up and glanced over the other students. The yard was filled with blood and bodies... Koguro did feel like the three were here not on purpose. They had talked like they knew nothing of ninja stuff... This was strange, and he guessed he would sneakily find out about everything if he could.

He looked back to the girl he had ran into before and her friend. Uchiha Yuki. Koguro had already known this person, the Uchiha were always famous and easy to detect... especially someone with notable characteristic of blindness like this. But the girl he had hit hadn't caught very much of his attention before. He knew he missed most of the class, and there were only four or five people he already knew within the academy...

No matter who she was, they all had displayed outstanding combat prowess compared to academy standard, and Koguro felt somewhat embarassed not to take on no particular. He contributed nothing...

Now that the fight was over and anything had been solved, normal life would return after this brief incident. Koguro sighed and walked up to the girl he had run... It was a shame not to know some people like this. "Hi... Uh... I'm Koguro. Should I know your name or...?" He scratched the back of his neck trying to produce a grin.

Kenji saw Rion about to deliver a final blow and he kicked the sword off course so it would miss the vital organs. He removed the senbon from his rear and inspected it, thankfully it wasn't poisoned.

He picked up the dwarf and was surprised at his weight. He turned to Ryu.

"Obviously this shouldn't have happened. If you want the blunt truth, the only feasible answer for this attack is that somewhere in Konoha there is a traitor, who lead these 3 in through some other entrance. We'll have to be on our toes - but you don't worry about it, we'll handle that" Kenji walked off to leave

"You guys did good. I'll be signing you up for the exam in a month," he turned and smiled and then disappeared to the interrogation room.

[Nero92]

"Oh its you Kenji..."
Rion walked away as he was watching all around him dead bodies and blood.
Sad facecs and all his friends being injured or tired by the battle.
Rion went on the Academy fast and found a book with the translation of different symbols.
Rion took hhis sword and was trying to find these symbols on the blade in the book.
And then he looked at a page.
There was the translation of the symbols he wanted.
"Yes..." Rion whispered.
He started translating ..."This sword is made only for the hands of the man that will rule the world"
"Damn.....this sword is awesome."
Rion started running again and went out to the yard again as he remembered what had happened.
He walked towards his friends."We must not let this pass away"

Kiya stood relieved that it was all finally over. The ground was covered in the blood of the innocent. She sighed and as tears sparkled in her eyes at the needless loss of life.

As their sensei approached Kiya quickly straightened and wiped the tears from her eyes. She listened to his quick speech. “Hai sensei!” she said as he walked off. She watched him walk away with the dwarf over her shoulder and she sighed shaking her head.

That was when she saw the young man from earlier walking up. He introduced himself to her as she tucked one of her golden tresses behind her ear. She gave him a warm smile as she put out her hand. “I am Kiya. I believe we are in the same class together.” Kiya said smiling at him. "But, it is a pleasure to finally meet you..."

[Muk]

"Hey there's still someone left!" Yuki yells. "He's got a sword and yells 'We must not let this pass away'!" She pulls out her last sets of shurikens.

With a swift jump she closes the gap between her an Rion.

She activates her darkness jutsu engulfing herself and Rion inside of it and then barrages Rion with all her left over shuriken.

[Nero92]

"What the hell are you doing??"
In no time the shurikens engalfed by the mysterious aura of Rion and flew away of the target but Yuki didn't see it.
When she heard his voice she understanded that it was Rion.
"Ouf......I am lucky one..."

[Muk]

Yuki uses her earth sensing. She notices how all her attack missed.

"Well someone is rather good at dodging shurikens," she throws the explosive kunai, she still has from Kiya, through her darkness right at Rions feet. 'Kai' It's a rather loud explosion.
