"Well, it's just that people hear the stories of the power behind it, and are scared of that," Tali admitted, shrugging. "'Snot like I can do very many jutsus anyway. Lightning chakra's the only one that works for me." Snorting quietly, Tali enjoyed the presence of another human, and one that treated her as an equal at that. Fiddling with her scarf, she waited for Mihura to respond.


"The lacing must be very fine then," Tali asked, staring at the braids in puzzlement. "I don't see any chakra in them. Which is unusual for me." Hearing that her father was the Kazekage, and that her mother had what seemed to be powerful genjutsu, Tali smiled. Apparently, Mihura wasn't well accepted by her village either. That would make friendship easier.

"Uh... Thanks," Tali responded, fingering a loose strand of hair. "To tell you the truth, I think it's because of the Hachibi in me. His chakra is green, so... yeah." Following the other girl as she stood and made her way outside, Tali grinned. Making friends was fun! At least that's what she thought. Maybe it wasn't. She'd have to wait to ask the Raikage.

A raven haired male faced down a small child with rave black hair. "Come on finx you can do better then that." he chided softly the girl was breathing heavy and she had two small knifes in her hands "Father we've been at for hours I'm exhausted." She whinded the male sighed "Fine we'll stop for now." he smile and took her hand together the went inside the same house "mom" The girl called out to a pink haired women who turned and smiled at her "How was training finx?" Finx made a face "dad's really tuff I don't think I could ever make it to his level." The woman glanced to the man "Well sasuke is that true?" the woman asked "of course not sakura she's are girl she can beat anyone." Sasuke uchiha knelt down in front of his daughter "Why don't you practice on you're own for a while." Finx sighed but agreed going outside to find her "Cusion" She wasn't sure what to call him but he was another uchiha when she saw him talking to another girl she froze and hid.

Mihura gave her a smile and said "Don't worry I'm sure if you had a better teacher then you might learn better." Ok she did have a habit of insulting adults, really if she didn't like the way of their training. But she spoke her mind often not caring of what might happen due to her words. In her village it wasn't like people would really listen to her and if they did then they often didn't do anything just because of who her parents were. But she shook her head not worrying about it at the moment.

"Stories are just stories, after all according to stories my mom is a deadly anbu who feeds on fear which isn't true at all. I'm sure you've heard stories of my dad so I don't need to say anything on that. It isn't who they are, sure they can be scare nins when it's called for but nobody is just one thing." She rambled mostly but she wanted the girl to know that just because the stories of the rinnegan caused fear didn't mean the nin who had it would. After all stories often got far from the truth. "Besides you met my mom, do you think she is an anbu who feeds on fear?" She asked with a small shy smile.

She laughed and said "My mother keeps control and her shadows are from her blood rather than chakra like mine." As weird as they may have sound but it was really just years of careful marriages and training on her mother's family side that made it that way. At least that was what she was told and what her mother said the reason was. It could have only been a half truth since the Ojikegakura no Sato wasn't that known in the world as they worked more from the shadows than anyplace else and nobody truly know what went on in the village that had darkness all year long.

"Your hair is still pretty, even if the ox has anything to do with it. I got Nibi... my parents used the sealing to kill someone who hurt my mother is why they chose me." She said with a shrug, she knew about the reason why she was chosen, what she didn't get was that she didn't match the nibi on any of the powers. Most would think she got the demon that her father had but she hadn't, it was to protect her according to her parents. Once outside she stuck to the shadow part and said "If I faint then just get me into the shadows...it shouldn't happen as the sun here isn't as bad as at home. But I'd rather not worry you any, it happens sometimes when I get weak or spent too much time training with my shadows."


Kurai raised an eyebrow when she saw him stop and then at the girl who hid. She still didn't step out of the shadows, she'd wait to see if they could figure out. It wasn't like it would help them much but it still could help a little with their own training; she doubted their team leader would mind.

The Kurai clone gave a bashful smile and blushed before she stepped out from behind the tree, she only looked like a six or seven year old. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your training." She said as a blush again rose to her face. "I'm Ria. I lost my mommy in the woods while we were heading back from training." She added as she looked at the ground shuffling her feet, acting very much like a bashful child who was talking to a crush.

As if on cue from the real Kurai, the young looking girl looked over to were the black hair girl hid. She blushed and again and said "I also didn't mean to interrupt your date either." How was a child to know they were related and they looked around the same age so probably any young child would just figured it was a date or a couple meeting up for a date.

Ok the real Kurai knew the truth but she rarely got to act like a child and thus something like that happened. But the only way she knew the truth was from the talk she had with a few of the other nins of the village. Plus it would be interesting to see how they would react to a child saying that. She knew most of the Uchiha's had trouble with their feelings and admitting them that it would be interesting to see how the younger generation would react.

"Well... here, let me show you what happens when I try to use a different chakra," Tali said, putting her hands together to help build her chakra level. Concentrating, she summoned fire-based chakra, building it slowly before performing the handsigns to create Fireball Justu. When she started to blow, however, the fireball shook, and then exploded, sending Tali skidding backwards against the wall of the building. "See? I don't know what the problem is, but I can't do any other chakra. That's always the result."

"Yeah, but what about the prophecies concerning these oh-so-special eyes of mine? Y'know, that I will either save or destroy the world?" That story actually made Tali shiver with fright. She certainly didn't want to screw up and end up destroying the world. "And I suppose your mom isn't, though she could come off that way. We don't hear much from Kazegakure up in Kumogakure, and we don't hear anything where I'm from."

"I could tell," Tali murmured, shivering. Seeing the beasts was quite scary actually, though hers wasn't. Hachibi was pretty friendly. He talked to her sometimes, after all. The one she didn't want to meet was the Kyuubi. Supposedly that was the worst one. Tali could believe it if he lost of all his Yin chakra. You needed both for balance.

"Say, where do you want to go?" she asked, looking at Mihura with slight concern. She certainly didn't want her friend harmed from the sunlight.

All the while Daigo stood there covered in bruises and cuts from head to toe after the intense training he went through. He seemed as though it was completely unaffected to his body as he just looked at the young girl come out from behind the tree; only to say that she had lost her mommy in the woods along with her apologizing for interrupting his training. A little smile came across his face as he shook his head to the thought, he didn't mind people interrupting his training since how was anyone to know when he was training out here. "Well, would you like me to help find your mommy?" he asked curiously only to end up tilting his head and standing back up after kneeling right in front of the girl. The Uchiha woods and not to mention ruined village was an easy place to get lost in; especially now that it had been covered in vines and moss. The Uchiha village wasn't as big as the main part of Konoha but it was a decent enough size. Noticing how the young girl was looking down kind of gave him a curious confused look as though Daigo's thoughts were basing off on the fact that something was bothering her.

Right before he could even ask what was bothering her; noticing how she turned her head over toward the side and hearing that she apologized for interrupting a date of his. Just hearing that, Daigo ended up accidentally activating his sharingan just because of the thought that he wasn't going for a date at all. So just his thoughts got focused on that it was an enemy. "Come out; whoever you are." he stated, having no idea that it was simply another one of the Uchihas'. Simply by accident once again, when he turned his attention right back toward the young girl; thanks to the sharingan and how Daigo had already learned how to copy and read ninjutsu along with genjutsu. He noticed how the young girl wasn't really the real form of the person. Giving a little sigh and shaking his head, he didn't say anything for the moment but rather would say something after whoever was in the woods would come out.

Finx stepped out from her hidding place "Hello daigo-san" She said with a smile "And hi Ria." She said with a nodd towards the girl "i just come to see if you wanted to help me train cousion." She didn't like interacting with other people but this one was related to her and the other one didn't know her dad so it wasn't so bad.

Mihura frowned slightly at the effect but shrugged and said "I'm not sure how to help... I really only know Sand and Wind elements. But it could have something to do with a mental block or perhaps with the tailed demon inside of you." She really didn't know or could think of a reason why it wouldn't work. But then again as she listened to the next part she bit her lip and said "It doesn't mean you are the one to do it, they could be talking about someone else. Why let that one thing get in the way?"

At the part about her mom and not hearing much, she simply shrugged it was just what storytellers told that she knew. Whenever she asked her parents they didn't tell her much just that they had bad pasts and were changed by some important event or person. She stopped trying to get facts as she got put on a team and got her mother as her team leader; her mother shared the facts when asked by the team. That made her think that everything had been planned out although it was denied that anything was planned.

"I'm not sure... I never been to this village before... or if I did it was back when I was too young to remember." She replied to the question of were to go. But she looked at Tali and gave her a grin before she said "Don't worry about me, I haven't really trained today... what my mom did to me today was normal training. All the real tough stuff she saves for when the whole team is together." It was mostly to ease the concern that she saw the in the girls eyes as she just gave the warning so it wouldn't cause too much drama if she did happen to. Mostly due to the fact that she still hadn't completely settled in from the trip to the village.


Ria looked at him when he looked back at her with his sharingan and gave a small pout since she knew he would know the truth now. But she looked at the girl and gave a slight wave before she sunk into the shadows.
Kurai stepped out of the shadows next to the tree where her clone had been and gave a slight smile. It was clear that the clone belonged to her just from looks alone, same white hair and same pale skin and same colored eyes. "Hello, not quiet up to your family's name on sensing huh?" She said in a slightly teasing voice but her voice was also friendly. The way she was relaxed and didn't have any weapons on her, she hoped, made her seem harmless.

"Sorry about the whole clone thing, I grew bored of waiting to see if you could sense me. Decided to have some fun with fooling ya a little, no harm meant at all." She apologized as she figured it was best to do so. She gave a shrug but she stayed in the shadows, unlike her daughter she didn't have high tolerance with the sun and could only go out in the shadows which proved a bit hard at home but it was done all the same. Plus having an umbrella helped with keeping her better protected from the sun.

When Daigo had noticed who had come out from hiding within the woods; only it to happen to be his cousin Finx. He simply tilted his head curiously at the thought why she'd had come here of all places, it wasn't really usual for him to really know anyone else but himself to know about this little training area of his own. So when she had requested the thought if he wanted to help her with her training; he simply tilted his head curiously. From what he had remembered from before, he always remembered seeing Finx training with her father; so why was she coming to him for training all of a sudden. Whatever the case, they were related so he just gave a little shrug of his shoulders and smiled warmly. "Sure, why not? But we can't do this for long; the chunin exams are right around the corner and we need to make sure to be ready as soon as possible. Not to mention we need to study up on our books for the written part of the exam." Daigo stated already knowing that there was a written part of the exam anyway; since it was basically told to everyone what the first part of the chunin exams were.

Turning his attention right over toward the young shadow clone girl, when he noticed how the she just sank back into the darkness. Daigo simply nodded to himself at the thought that she was fake after all. All of a sudden, when another female voice; although one sounding much more older and teasing at first came up. He simply turned his attention right over toward the direction of another part of the woods. Only to notice that it was an older female staying within the shadows and speaking with the two of them. Who she was, Daigo wasn't too sure about but there was no doubt that she wasn't an enemy; if she was than she probably would've attacked by now. So when she had apologized for the clone and explained that she was getting 'bored' of waiting for Daigo to notice her. He simply tilted his head with a little smile. "There is no need to apologize, I'm just not really aware of my surroundings alot when I'm into my training." he explained scratching the back of his head and laughing rather nervously. He was still a genin after all, his abilities to notice everyone and everything around him wasn't as good as a jounin or chunin just yet. He still needed to train on that. "So what are you doing around here?...from the looks of it..I highly doubt your an Uchiha like us."

Finx frowned at the girl she hadn't even noticed that it was a clone. "Great i know dad usually trains me but he's so tough it's hard to keep up but it's worth it in the end I guess." Finx said with a shrug "i'm finx by the way." She said introducing herself to the girl she took inventory of the girl she had no weapons which was kinda strange what ninja goes aroun without weapons?

((I'm so sorry if anyone was waiting on me! :sweat: I thought I had posted!))

"I don't really like to think about stuff like that," Tali admitted, shrugging. "All I know is what the Raikage tells me." And that was true. She was essentially his marionette, though she didn't think of it that way. If he said "frog," she jumped as high as she could.

"Maybe," Tali muttered in response to Mihura's suggestions. "Do you think you could help me? My back itches just thinking about seeing the Raikage again. He won't be happy until I can use every chakra." She shuddered as she finished, recounting the sting of the whip. Beginning to walk around, Tali wasn't really paying attention to where she was going. Or even if Mihura was with her.

"You train with the whole team?" she asked incredulously, confident in her belief that Mihura was behind her. "Why on earth would you do that?" To Tali, teamwork was a foreign concept. Her master believed that relying on anyone made a person weaker, and so forbade her from activities that would make her do so.

Xero sighs and looks up at the sky from his bedroom window. This was it, soon he would be advancing...he hoped. With a sigh, he turns away and grabs his bag. He didn't know quite what these exams would hold, but he was ready for anything. The hallway felt like it took forever, as if it was closing in around him. The air seemed to be thinner and he relized that the nerves inside of him were beginning to show. He stops. Taking a deep breath Xero closes his eyes and focuses on his parents. A voice creeps into his head.

"Are you sure you can do this?" it said, "stand against all who would rather oppose you?"

Xero opens his eyes "yes beast, I will not be made to cower in fear while the lies about my clan continue to grow".

The voice seemed to sigh, "veerywell boy, but know this" the power inside of him seemed to shift, as if the beast was moving slightly. "We are in this together now, weather we like it or not. Once they find out you hold me inside of you, things will get interesting".

Xero sighed. True, once the people found out the five tailed Dolphin horse was inside of him, the dark coldness towards him would only deepen.

"Theres no turning back," the beast says "what is ment to be has been set in motion already, and we must see it through".

Xero nods, and begins walking again. "We will pass, and we will avenge the clan" a deep fire burning in Xero's eyes and heart now.

Inside the beast seemed to smile. "We are ready..." it whispers.

(sorry lol thought it would be interesting to give the beast a voice, sort of like people think he is talking to himself, but he hears it inside his head.)

((I think they were waiting on me, I lost internet until today. So I was hugely bored and had forgotten to save this rp to work on while I didn't have internet.))

Mihura shrugged and said "I would love to but my dad would put me through hell if he found out I was helping someone who wasn't part of our village. All I know is stuff that is known only to my village." She gave a grin and added "Although I'll see if my mom can help you, she knows more different styles than I do." She really didn't know if her mom could help or not but she hoped so since she wanted to help her new friend.

"Although if the Raikage gives you too much trouble, I can hide you from him... I highly doubt he'll want to deal with my parents just to get you back against your will." She said with a slightly thoughtful look on her face. The thoughtful look being that she wondered if Tali would like to be 'kidnapped' for a couple of weeks after all the exams were over to hang out with her in the sand village.

She followed her new friend while humming softly and a happy look on her face but hearing the question about training with a team she blinked with a confused look. "Missions are done in teams of three or more, one has to know team work to be able to survive missions and such. Not even ANBU's go alone they are also with teams." She replied as that was what she learned in the lesson that her mother gave her team shortly after they became a team.

"Besides my teammates are my friends, most teams are friends with their teammates even if they don't' admit it." She said softly as she looked at Tali and wondered just what type of life the green hair girl had. It didn't seem like a good one to her.


Kurai gave a smile and nodded to his words before she looked at the girl and gave a wave. "I was just cheeking in on the Uchiha village... I had a few run-ins with Sasuke and Itachi. I'm glad they aren't here at the moment.. hate to have to tell them sorry for destroying a few of their missions." She said with a bit of teasing in her voice at the last part since she didn't really destroy any missions... kind of just stole from them a few weapons. But with a shrug her dark eyes looked at them before she stretched and moved out of the shadow.

She bowed to them and said "I am Sabaku, Kurai.. I'm the leader of the genin from Kazegakure no Sato, who are in the chuunin exams." She straighten and looked at the two of them before a smile came to her lips. "Don't forget to have some fun too, too much training and studying can't be good for your mental health." She said before she walked back to the shadow and gave a wave over her shoulder and said "I'll leave you two to train now. Good bye and it was nice to meet two cute young Uchiha's."
