A New Beginning


The Chunin exams are underway once again; there are only a few more days before the exams start and all of the genins are getting ready for their exams so that they may finally become a chunin themselves. What many people don't know is that the tailed beasts are once again sealed within these many young genins rather than destroyed on the last Great Ninja War when the supposed Naruto had completely controlled the nine-tails. After that, he became hokage; it has now been many years since that day and he is renowned to be one of the best hokages there was before the fourth himself. The tailed beasts had to obviously be re-sealed since they couldn't be left alone like that; if not done so, they would've caused more rampage throughout the great nations along with the whole ninja world itself. If not that, there would be a chance that Madara could still be alive out there even after the war and try to begin back the all powerful ten tailed beast. The Jubi. Naruto, the hokage is still alive of course; but seeming to become much older than his own teenage years. He is now an adult, but has seemed to pass down the nine tails to a completely different genin for the future generation to control the tailed beasts. That also means other genins had recieved the other tailed beasts from 1 to 8. Whether or not each of the genins who have it within them know about it or not, is their own decision to look within themselves. Either way, they are going to have to participate in the chunin exams no matter what.

Bio:
Daigo is actually one of the last few remaining Uchihas throughout basically the whole entire ninja world at this point. The main reason why he was not killed during the time when Itachi Uchiha had murdered the entire village of Uchihas because of the hokage's orders was because that Daigo during the night wasn't even in the village. Every night he would always sneak out of his own home so that he could go into the woods where he would train his sharingan to the point so that he could learn to master how to copy all three different jutsus. He has been training to use his sharingan since the age of 9, and from all those years of training it seemed that he was only able to go so far as to reach up to only to copy genjutsu and ninjutsu. Although what he doesn't realize is what is burried deep within his own body; the Kyuubi itself. Just like Naruto; the present hokage, when Daigo was only a baby the Kyuubi's seal at the time was starting to weaken so the present hokage had to reseal it within a newer host; knowing that Daigo was going to probably have to go through the same exact pain that Naruto once did. So on the day he came back from his training one night, when he found basically how the entire village was killed; Daigo was horrified on what he saw as he ran back to his home to find if his parents were alive. Only to find both their bodies having multiple kunais stuck to their bodies, dead. Seeing that, he nearly went mad that day but ended up calming down by the next day; still traumatized from what he saw. Four years have passed now, and Daigo is slowly recovering from what he saw but he is starting to take it into thought that everything happens for a reason. So now, he calms down and tries to gather himself every once in a while but even with that; he doesn't let that get in the way of his training nor his thoughts on passing the chunin exams.

Rinnegan
Element(s):
All, due to the Rinnegan, but everything except for Lightning is unstable. It often tends to blow up in her face, literally.
Bio: Tali is essentially a slave to the Raikage. She is his weapon, used where he directs and punished when she fails. As such, she doesn't really have a self. As a matter of fact, her self-esteem is nonexistent. People stay far away from her, and tend to curse her down when she goes into public. The Raikage constantly beats her and yells at her for failing to grow stronger quickly. For reasons unknown to anyone, she can't use any chakra but lightning, and even that sometimes fails. Anything she tries to do literally explodes. As a result, her taijutsu is phenomenal, enhanced with lightning chakra.

When she was little, she was selected to be a Jinchuriki due to the Rinnegan, therefore making her even more powerful than she would have been regularly. The Hachibi was sealed inside of her, killing all those who sealed it in the process. Despite belonging to the Land of Lightning, she wasn't actually born there. No one really knows where's from. Her appearance is not even close to the native people, another cause for her harrassment.

She's currently going through the Chunin exams, where her orders are to give no mercy, and kill if possible. The Raikage wants her to succeed beyond anything else. He believes that it will help her achieve her full power.

Age: 34
Gender: Male
Shinobi of: Kumogakure
Currently in: *Konoha
Rank: Raikage
Team: N/A
Kekkei Genkai: Storm Release
Element(s): Lightning and Water
Bio: Ryu grew up poor and alone, giving him a craving for power early on. As he grew older and stronger, his craving expanded, while his compassion and humanity shrank. He thinks of nothing except for being the strongest, by whatever means necessary. He had always been considered a star pupil due to his growth, becoming a Hokage after only ten years of being a ninja.

He constantly has Tali beat and abused, trying to squash her sense of self entirely. If he can, he will have her under his control forever, making him one of the post powerful men in the world. It's a dream that often ends with everyone else in chains. So far, he's been successful. Tali looks to him for instruction before getting out of bed in the morning. Her constant lack of progress frustrates him to no end though. She's just so weak, despite being so powerful. Not to mention she's not even a Lightning ninja.

Regardless, he has some nasty things planned for the Hokage at the Chunin exams. Naruto is a legend, and powerful, which means Ryu wants him gone.

Bio:
Mihura is the daughter of the Kazekage, Gaara, and Shadow Death, Kurai, because of her parentage she was feared as she grew up despite having no reason to be feared. It was mostly due to the fact of who her father was and what he had in him for so long. When she was young she had the Nibi sealed within her, her parents knew what to expect and she was used to trick her mother's old fiancé, Nikon, into killing himself (he died while sealing the Nibi into Mihura). The others who helped seal the demon within her only grew sick but was able to recover due to Nikon taking all the risk and doing everything himself to prove that he was a seal master. Aside from that she had a pretty normal childhood with no friends but family.


Once she entered the ninja academy she tried her best to make friends but because of the demon in her it made it harder as most of the villagers only saw her as a female version of her father when he was younger. It also didn't help that her mother wasn't known for being kind in the stories that the story tellers tell about her. But once she got on a genin team it got better, really after her teammates realized that just because her mom was their team's jounin teacher that she wasn't given special attention. Well she did get special training by her dad but that was more to deal with the demon that was sealed within her.


Despite her team only having around a year of experience as ninja's her mother signed them up for the chuunin exams and let everyone chose if they wanted to go or not. Everyone did and thus she was excited about going and getting to meet other ninja's around her age that wouldn't know about the demon inside of her.

Element(s):
Shadows & Light
Bio:
She grew up in her clan’s home and was kept away from the other child since her Kekkei Genkai activated when she was only a year old. Although it was sealed back up until she could control it, she was still kept away from others just to make sure her anger didn’t get the best of her. When she was five she was sent to her village’s ninja academy, where she had a hard time making friends because of her sheltered years before.

By the time she was 10 she was a genin on a team with Yamikage’s son, Ryuu, and another female named Eimi. She was teased by them but because both had pressure on them by their parents it was soon noticed that none of the three where who they appeared to be it was after Kurai’s shadows acted up and ended up saving their lives that the shield around all of their hearts disappeared and they formed a good group of friends.

During their Chuunin years (when she was around 13), Kurai had gotten word that her family had arranged an marriage for her. She met the guy and thought he was alright. They spent a lot of time with each other, Eimi and Ryuu disliking him and getting blown off since Kurai’s family kept Kurai away from her two teammates most of the time. It was then that Kurai’s brother, Kaito, stepped up into the role of the older brother and challenged Nikon, the guy that Kurai was set to marry. During that battle Nikon managed to piss Kaito off enough to use a kekkei genkai that he couldn’t control that ended up killing everyone in the clan. Kurai had tried to stop the fight but couldn’t, although her shadows did protect her from the attack and she managed to just barely survive with Mei’s help.

After that fight she pretty much dropped out of everything but refused to even leave her room that was in her clan house, despite it being in ruins. It wasn’t until Eimi went in and dragged Kurai out of the ruins and to her apartment did Kurai start to at least pretend to get better for her friends. But only her friends could even get her gentle side out and to everyone else she is a complete bitch.

During that time when Kurai lived with Eimi, was when Eimi and Ryuu found out just what had happened to Kurai threw her sleep talking. They found out that Nikon had abused their friend and even raped her. They also found out about the seal that was put on Kurai to keep her from talking about what had happened and what she knew about Nikon's clan.

When she became a jounin (around 16) she started to do more dangerous missions, always pushing her limits and luck. She also always refused to take a team of genin and always pushed her limits to spend time out in the sun despite the fact that if she stays out too long in the sun that she’ll get sick. She often could be found going to different villages during the night, both forgotten and known while pretending to be a normal visiting villager.

During her visits to Sand village, she happen to spend time with Gaara and ended up being less of a bitch to him. It wasn't until she was 16 that she realized just how close to him she was, it was when she let him close one night that changed everything. That one night had all it took for her to realize that she loved Gaara and it was a few months later that she realized she was pregnant. Sixteen and pregnant wasn't unheard of in her village but staying a ninja while being pregnant was, although if anyone looked into the records they would find out that it was normal for the Nushi Clan. Although when she started to show (and Gaara found out), she was forced into not doing much of anything until after her child was born; thus she moved in with Gaara and stayed with him until their daughter, Mihura, was born.

When their daughter was born it was on a moonless stary night, perfectly normal although some of the villagers feared the baby girl to have a demon in her like her father and often avoided her on that unproven fear. When she was 22, she married Gaara to give their daughter more of a stable life but if anyone asked they were told the real reason was to make more of a solid link between Ojikegakure no Sato and Kazegakure no Sato. When the demons needed resealed the two tail monster cat was sealed into Mihura by her parents choice.

Being a mother soften her up but also made her want to take on a team of kids to train. When her daughter was made a Genin, since she was the wife to the Kazekage, she got him to let her be the leader of their daughter's team. Which she proved to the others of her daughter's team that just because Mihura was her daughter didn't mean she would get special treatment. After that was proven she watched her daughter grow and become friends with her teammates.

When the chuunin exams came around she put her team up for it, they chose to despite them being on the younger side.
Appearance:
She has long white/silverish blueish hair with teal streaks and dark blue bangs around her face. Her eyes are normally a light blue but darken on her mood, since her shadows respond to her emotions/mood. She has pale skin from only getting moonlight as the only light on her. She is about a c-cup on breast but is close to a d-cup. She has her ears pierced all the way along the edges along with her tongue. She wears short shorts under a long dark raspberry red skirt that has a slit up to her hip on her left side, which her left leg holds her kunai pouch. She also wears a black tank top under a dark blue long sleeve light weight button up jacket over it, normally open but sometimes closed.

When he was born no one knew, but he was secretly sealed with the Five-Tailed Dolphin Horse (Hohenheim). He grew up with a strong power of chakra and showed great skills of the darker side of the arts. He gained his Kekkei Genkai from his parents, and has honored them by training hard.
He has always felt out of place, being an outcast, and has learned to focus his powers and count on only hiself. He has never really worked on a team, and can be seen as cold or uncooperable when working with others.
He travels with a bird, who is ofteen another set of eyes in a battle, as well as if he is able to focus enough, can be used as a funnel for his chakra. He dosn't use this much, for fear of actually harming the bird itself.

"Again!" the man cried out.

"Hai!" Tali responded, driving her leg into the side of a training dummy. She had been at this for hours, but she wasn't permitted to get tired yet. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind, she gave another kick as the black-haired man shouted. The Raikage was working her harder than usual, but she didn't complain. Weapons didn't complain when their masters sharpened them after all.

"Punch!" the man hollered.

"Hai!" Tali roared back, driving a right punch into the dummy. As a leftie, she was better with that hand, but that didn't stop the whip from coming down across her shoulders. Crying out in pain, Tali continued. Left, right, crack. Left, right, crack. Left, right, crack. Over and over again. Finally she succeeded with her right punch, resulting in a shocking lack of pain.

Blinking to clear sweat out of her light purple eyes, she gasped at the crack and the subsequent pain. Too slow. Punching to make up for lost speed, Tali forcibly loosened her shoulder muscles, grimacing at the pain. The chakra of the man nearby was easily visible if she were to turn her head, but doing so would result in another crack of the whip across her shoulders. As it was, angry red welts were beginning to appear on her exposed skin. Like usual, she trained in nothing but boxer shorts. Her body was too small to be inappropriate; she had no breasts to speak of after all.

"Take one!" the man ordered, allowing Tali to stop. Looking over at the girl near the water, who flinched as if struck, Tali began to move to get a cup. Immediately the girl was up, shoving a cup into her hands before darting away. Swallowing greedily, Tali frowned mentally. It was probably the concentric circles that wrapped around the pupil in her eyes. Oh yes, the Rinnegan was both a blessing and a curse.

Precisely sixty seconds after that, she was doing push-ups. She could feel the eyes of the other Genin on her. The dojo was a place for Genin to do some last minute training for the Chunin exams, so there were many there. She thought she recognized one girl from Kazegakure, but she couldn't be sure. The pain flared across her shoulders again as the whip came down, startling Tali back to motion. She had dallied again. When was she going to learn?

By this time Daigo was actually standing in an open grassy area right outside of Konoha but not too far that it was seem like trespassing onto another country's land without permission. At this time, he knew he should've probably been training on his skills so that they could become much more sharp and ready for when the exams would come. Especially since they were right around the corner, there were going to be genins from all different villages coming over and not to mention they were all going to be bringing in new techniques that Daigo had never seen before. Indeed, he was excited for the exams and was confident enough to think that he was going to be able to finally reach chunin after all these years. Sitting right on the grassy hill he was sitting on, he had his back leaned against a large tree that he made out of using his wood element. There wasn't any idea in his head that he was going to plan to take down this tree, the grassy hill itself looked rather strange without a tree right on the tip top of it. With the tree here, it looked actually kind of better to him. Staring over the hill toward the dense forest ahead of him that would lead to who knows where, Daigo just gave a little sigh as he scratched the back of his head on thoughts of what he could do besides training.

Training was needed to become a good fighter, especially if he was going to be entering the chunin exams. But whoever said that a person couldn't relax for a day or two; while sitting there he went on and just pulled out a little flute from his bag that he had lunch within it. Looking right across on the flute, he gave a little warm smile to himself when he noticed how his father's and mother's names were carved across on it. True, it was sad to think about them since they were dead and all; but it was better to remember them than to completely forget he ever even had parents in the first place. The flute itself wasn't exactly his to begin with, it was his mother's. Daigo's father had given it to her as a gift for her birthday one day; ever since that day, she seemed to always play a song that seemed almost sad but yet..heart-warming at the sametime. All the while his father would always be playing on his piano on the other days if his mother wasn't playing the flute. Both his mother and father were musicians and at the time when they were alive, Daigo had thought playing music was actually the most probably boring thing a person could do. But with their deaths coming so suddenly, he now embraces music playing a bit more to the point that he had learned how to play both his mother's flute and his father's piano.

Putting the flute back into his bag and stretching his arms out slightly, he just turned his attention right on back toward the direction that lead down the hill. Break time was done, time to get back to training. Rushing down the hill as quickly as he could, Daigo quickly bolted his way back toward the training ground where he had always worked on mastering his sharingan. Doing so meant he would have to head back into the village and through the Uchiha clan village as well once again to make it there. Even though the Uchiha clan at this point looked like ruins in a way; with the houses covered in vines and moss. The insides of most of the houses looked just fine expect for a couple of rooms which had dried up blood splatter on the walls and kunais still stuck on some of the walls. All of the bodies have a proper burial with Daigo going through home after home after the incident; burying each and everyone of the Uchiha. Not to mention, even to this day; he tries his best to clean up every single one of the buildings from inside and out to make the original Uchiha part of the Hidden Leaf village look nice once again.

The small light red haired girl just rolled her eyes at the training one of the others were getting, if her mother was around she was sure trouble would have happened or shadows would have been acting up. But her mother was staying out of the bright light and left Mihura to train on her own; it wasn't new but it did seem a bit weird when most everyone else had their teacher or trainer. With a sigh she sat in a corner and closed her eyes, around her the shadows flickered but that was the only sign that she was doing anything at all aside from catching a nap.

A white t-shirt under a black tank top with a pair of pants covered her body, her long hair was in two braids, no weapons could be seen on her but then again she could turn a shadow into a weapon so it wasn't really needed. Hearing the sound of a whip hitting flesh made her open her eyes and send a glare to the one wielding the whip, she really didn't like how others trained their students when it caused the students pain. She stood up and walked up to the guy and said "Pain doesn't make you stronger despite what people seem to think."

With that she turned to the girl and said "Hi, I hope to talk to ya when you aren't training.. unless of course we meet in a fight." A smile on her face as she gave a slight bow to the girl before she felt eyes on her, which she gave a wave to the girl before she went over to were a woman with long white hair and dark blue eyes stood. Once near her teacher she felt the shadows surround her but she stood her ground to push them back down. Mostly her mother trained her in shadow control so that the shadows never attacked a friend by accident if she got emotional.

The woman smiled when her daughter pushed against her control over the shadows that had wrapped up Mihura. Ff the others of the team were around then she would train them as a group; but since only her daughter was findable at the moment, she would work with her daughter on their shadow powers and control. Although her eyes were dark mostly due to her mood being darker at the moment from having to be in a dojo with other people training their students.

How others trained were different from her view but then again her view was more as a mother rather than teacher. Well her students would disagree since she pushed them hard in training and often seem to torture them just to help them over come a fear they might have. It helped that she could make their fears come to life, as any who came from her birth village could do.

The only thing special about her was how the shadows were under her control, unlike some of the other shadow users; she could completely control the shadows and draw shadows in from around to form attacks and solid weapons. That control was what she was working with her daughter on right then, which by doing so it helped her keep from being like a mother and scolding some of the people who were doing a poor job of training their student.

Tali eyed the girl wearily as she neared. Tali was more afraid that she would say something that would get them in trouble than anything. She certainly had a dangerous light in her eyes as she neared the man with the whip. Despite analyzing the Sand ninja, she maintained her pace with the push-ups, never slowing for a second. The chakra swirling from her body seemed to lace the shadows around her, showing quite clearly why they writhed in her presence.

"No, but it provides wonderful encouragement to get better, don't you think, Miss?" the man sneered, stroking the whip fondly. Tali shuddered; the light in his eyes would have been terrifying if she had been allowed to feel fear. The petite girl could feel a warm liquid pooling on her back, occasionally dripping off to the floor underneath, where it became apparent that it was blood. The whip had broken skin after all.

What had to be most confusing though, was the girl's friendly demeanor to Tali. The Rinnegan hadn't scared her. Unless she hadn't seen it of course. Of course, the girl couldn't have known she had a monster inside of her. Checking the girl's chakra again, Tali stared as she worked. The chakra was tainted just a bit with malevolence. That meant a tailed beast. Risking a glance at the man with the whip, he nodded just a fraction. "Uh... Maybe we could talk over ramen or something?" Tali called after her, still doing push-ups. "Or, you know, whatever you want."

(Hey Angelo, would you like to be the Raikage as well? ^^'' since your playing as the Raikage so far.)

While making his own way through Konoha to make it toward the Uchiha village so that he could make it to his training ground. Daigo had ended up passing by dumpling shop as he tilted his head over to look at the shop, just from standing outside the shop itself he could already smell the sweetness of each one of the dumplings being made. Unzipping the bag that he was carrying around that had his lunch inside of it; he simply looked right on inside to see what he had for lunch just so that he could remember. Once he took a look inside the first thing and only thing he noticed that was in there was a small box lunch that had rice, fried pork on the side and some lettuce with tomatoes on the side as well. That was going to be enough, but having something sweet to have after eating his lunch probably wasn't going to be a bad idea indeed.

Giving a little nod to himself that he thought of getting the dumplings after he was done with his training and eating his lunch. Daigo would go ahead and get some on his way back after he was done with everything for the day; hopefully enough after everything would be done with for the day, the dumpling shop would still be open by the time he was on his way back. Since usually whenever he was training, he would always get too much into his own training that he'd forget completely about the time. Usually making him train til midnight. Turning his attention away from the shop, he began to make his way toward the Uchiha village; the whole time not really realizing that people were talking down about him behind his back the entire time. Pretty much everyone in the entire village knew that Daigo was now carrying the Kyuubi within him from Naruto; the present hokage sealing it within him due to the seal slowly starting to weaken and not to mention the Kyuubi was becoming more resistant to Naruto's will even though he had controlled it

After about half an hour of walking, Daigo had finally reached the Uchiha village and was beginning to make his way through the village itself to make it to his training spot in the middle of the woods. While he was making his way through the village, he just happened to pass by his old home as he stopped right outside of it; looking up and down his house. From the outside, it was still covered in vines and leaves all over while inside was completely still clean with the kunais removed and the floors completely waxed. So basically if someone were to look at the house from the outside at this time; it would look horrible, but if someone were to go inside it would look brand new. Giving a little sigh, Daigo just bowed lightly to the house just to show respect before making his own way to make it out of the Uchiha village and get to his training ground once again.

After about another 10 minutes had passed by, Daigo finally reached his training ground as it was giant open area that was surrounded by a large thick dense forest. Right next to the large open area was a long river that lead to another part of the thick forest on the other side of it. The reason for a large open area and the river next to it was to help Daigo with his own abilites; the river was to help increase his water based jutsus while the ground itself was for his earth-based jutsus. He didn't really need the water for his water-based jutsus but it made his attacks just more effective. All of a sudden, he clasped his hands together. "Wood Style: Wood Clone Jutsu." was all he said as wood suddenly started coming out of his own body only to end up forming a body than color of his own skin with a face and everything. It was a perfect clone of Daigo himself as he nodded to himself for a moment. With having a clone out like this, he would be able to train on his taijutsu to master the final part of his sharingan.

((I suppose. :D That man's not the Raikage though. Just a lackey or something.))

((I'll probably edit this tomorrow if no replies pop up before I get online, as I'm in zombie mode at the moment due to being so tired and running on around five hours or less of sleep.))

Mihura did catch the look of the man, not that she cared what he thought it wasn't like he was scary or anything to her. "Not really. Fear or pain should never be used to get results out of someone who isn't of chunin level." She said with a slightly evil smile towards him. She was very much her parents daughter, as she could be as evil and unstable as her dad but also be warm and caring like her mother. It all depended on who she dealt with.

At the girls words she smiled warmly at the girl and said "Alright. that sounds good. How about later today or tomorrow? After all if the body doesn't get breaks from intense training it'll start failing." The last bit of her words were also directed to the girls trainer too. The whole time she talked to them she kept the shadows that wanted to draw her in at bay. When she felt them stop she looked up to see her mother beside her and she dropped her smile seeing the look in her mother's eyes.

Kurai smiled when her daughter talked and kept the shadows at bay but she looked at who her daughter was talking to and she walked over to them. When she was next to her daughter she dropped trying to wrap her daughter in shadows. Shadows swirled freely around her as if to protect her but really just used as a distraction from any movement she might make. "Pain should never be used... it is a way to break a ninja and thus breaking them makes them weaker and less loyal to their village." She said with dark eyes that could be pulled off as black as she had her back towards the light source so nobody could tell they were just a dark blue color.

"But train however you want. My student here needs to get back to her training anyway." She said before she pushed her daughter away with the shadows. She paused and said over her shoulder "Oh child, if he gets too whip happy let me know.. I'll enjoy giving him a lesson in fear and pain." A smirk formed on her fact as her dark eyes danced with something close to excitement.

Intense training? Was her training intense? The Raikage pushed her harder, and was a lot more liberal with the whip, so Tali didn't really think so. Maybe compared to the other Genin, who were still staring at her in awe. Their stares unsettled her. Nothing was amiss, so why were they looking at her like that?

"This scum's not even a native to our village," the man said, scowling. "Up!" On command, Tali pushed off with her feet, going completely vertical before starting push-ups again.

"Later today sounds nice," Tali intoned, looking into the girl's dark eyes. She wanted to make sure the girl saw the Rinnegan. She'd rather have her be afraid now then later. "Do you want to meet me here?" The chakra lacing the shadows glistened faintly to her eyes, though she knew no one else would be able to see it. Unless they had the Byakugan or the Sharingan of course.

"My name is Tali by the way," she intoned, blood creating ugly red tracks down her back and neck as it was pulled by gravity. "Might I ask you yours?" Honestly, it felt weird to have someone like her, or even better, offer to help her if she needed it.

(:gonk: we need more people to join. :drool: )

((that we do.))

Mihura would have replied if her mother hadn't decided to start really training her, instead she was engulfed in shadows. To others it looked simply as if she was frozen in one spot with a layer of shadows that wrapped around her body. She could still breath but she knew that it didn't look like she could, her body was perfectly frozen and under the control of the shadows that surrounded her. To get free she would have to fight the foxdog, Mei, who lived in the shadows that her mother controlled.

Kurai looked at the other two and said "If she was raised in your village then she is from there. It doesn't matter were one is born but were they are raised and the influence others had on the one growing up." Her cold eyes looked at the man before she smirked at him, one that matched her husband's smirk. Her eyes had watched Tali and just gave a soft giggle in response to the power the girl had, it would take a lot to scare her daughter away and just because one had the Rinnegan didn't mean that friends couldn't be had and she wasn't about to stop her daughter from interacting with others.

Mihura gasped out load when she had finally gotten the upper hand on the shadows and watched as they slid from her body. Once she was free of the shadows she turned back to Tali and said "I'm Mihura and sure meeting here sounds fine." She sensed something similar to the girl and figured it had to do with the demon inside of herself; unlike most who didn't know she did know. She was taught to control it and use the power of the demon for her own without weakening or releasing it from its cage. Not that she knew what demon was in her just that she had a demon inside of herself and that she could use it if it was needed. "Oh and this is my team leader, Kurai."

Tali stared as the shadows suddenly jumped at the girl to completely surround her. The chakra lacing them matched the woman's signature, which led to the conclusion that it was part of her training. If she had a free hand, she would've scratched at her back for sure. The drying blood itched!

Waving a hand, the man suddenly shouted, a wordless yell that caused almost every Genin in the dojo to jump. Immediately, Tali pushed off and flipped in the air to land on her feet. "Ten laps! Forty minutes! Go!" he hollored.

Tali responded with a salute before running out. She would be done when she came back, and therefore allowed to hang out with Mihura again. Well, after a shower maybe. That blood really was itchy. Starting on her route around the city, Tali picked up speed, running fast enough to generate columns of dust. She had to be fast though. If you were fast over long distances, you would be unseeable at short distances.

On her route, Tali crossed through several patches of woods, one that was nearby what seemed to be an abandoned village. Barely giving it a thought, Tali was surprised when the next clearing she entered had a boy fighting what was obviously a clone, though wood from the chakra lacing it's body.

He was gone from her sight in a few minutes though. Who knew? Maybe they would meet up again later. Casting the thought from her mind, Tali focused on her task, omitting outside thoughts.

---

Passing by the main gates for the last time, Tali bent over panting while the man clicked his stopwatch. "Thirty-five minutes. I expect the same tomorrow," he said, throwing a thumb over his should in a gesture of dismissal. After bowing, Tali ran back to the inn where she and her teammates were staying.

The inn was of the nicer variety, with several customers sitting at tables or the bar. Serving girls, some not much bigger than Tali, darted around, delivering, collecting, and cleaning up orders. All of this to the gentle song the musician and her band, garbed in resplendent colors. The innkeeper, a plump woman with graying hair, sniffed in disdain towards her mostly naked body as she ran by and up the stairs.

Once upstairs, she made her way to her room, slipping into the shower she shared with her teammate. The water was refreshingly cold after her run, but still did it's job of loosening the blood on her back. It still took a little bit of scrubbing with the rose-scented soap, stinging her back with every motion. Two bloody lines stood out against her pale skin clearly, even more so with the lighter pink marks criss-crossing her back.

Once she had her hair and body clean, she ran into her room and grabbed some clothes. Her black pants, missing the knees for ease of movement, came first, followed by white cotton socks and her black shoes. Her brown shirt was slipped over her head next, followed closely by her vest, which she made sure was tied well at the front. The last things she put on were her scarf, hat, and shuriken/kunai pouch that went over her arm.

Now fully dressed, Tali made her way back to the dojo, still earning a glare from the innkeeper as she passed through.

After Mihura's training she waved bye to her mother and went to their house to clean up and change, despite the light training it still was better that she cleaned up. The only reason her team was staying in a house was due to her mother owning one, plus it did help that her mother was married to the Kazekage. But after she cleaned up she put her hair up in a ponytail and broke it into two braids, she had a reason for doing her hair in two braids no matter what but she wasn't about to tell anyone. A black tank top and a black skirt with red strips were the clothes she picked, her normal tan sandals went on her feet. A fishnet undershirt was under the tank top and it covered her fingers too but she cut the ends off so the tips of her fingers weren't covered and only half of them were.

She went back to the dojo and stuck in the shadows next to the door to wait until Tali would show up. Like her mother she often got weak and sick if she spent too much time in the sun and thus rather just stay in the shadows to keep from seeming weak. Not that she could as the shadows always seemed to protect her. Randomly she talked to a few people who came and went from the dojo.


After her daughter's training ended, Kurai walked around the village, a paper umbrella leaned on her shoulder to keep her in a shadow and protect her from the sun. When she got waved at she waved back, her team was the first team to make contact with the outside world from her birth village but it went back into hiding after some trouble with sound people. Not watching where she was going she ended up at the old Uchiha Clan village and decided to wonder about it to see how it was holding up. In her younger years she had a few run-ins with some Uchiha's but she couldn't remember their names for anything. Nor did she really know them, when she had run-ins she meant physically running into them and then running off before any words could be said.

Her light blue eyes looked around as she walked through the abandoned village, not really caring if anyone caught her there or not. After all it was abandoned, she really doubted anyone would care if she walked though the area, as long as she didn't bother anything she figured it was fine. When she got near the woods she sensed someone in there and slipped into the shadows to move along and then paused once she reached where a boy was training. From the shadows she watched him to see how long it would take him to realize someone was watching him.


((hmmm debating rather or not to have Kurai make a clone that looks like a young child to go talk to Daigo))

When Daigo had made the wood clone of himself, they both nodded to each other to train the real Daigo with himself. This meant that his clone was going to know each and everyone of the others move but not how the other was going to use them. Thankfully enough, since they both had the sharingan; any ninjutsu or genjutsu that would be used; the other would know how to fight against it or even copy it. While they stared at each other from a few feet away from one another; neither one of them knew that there had been someone that had just passed the two of them from a bit of a distance let alone know that now there was someone in shadows watching them. So without even a moment, the wooden clone of Daigo jumped backwards only to do a few quick hand signs and slam his hands both into the ground. "Earth Style: Mudshot!" he yelled out as the clone pulled his own head back with what seemed like was stuffing up his cheeks for a moment out of nowhere. Without a single moment later, a large glop of mud came hurling toward the real Daigo as he immediately formed a few quick hand signs of his own. "Water Style: Water Bullet." he called out; within the next moment he did the samething with his own head by pulling it backwards and his own cheeks stuffed up with something. Suddenly, when he spat out something; what came out wasn't mud but rather a large water glop. Speeding toward the mud at the same amount of speed. When the two glops had come in contact with one another; a little explosion went out as the two Daigos pulled out a kunai from their back pouch, charging toward one another.

Clashing back and forth with their kunais; sparks came from both of them as from time to time, each one of them got cuts either on their faces, arms, shirt, legs, or hands. This was simply to train Daigo's ability to one day finally finish his sharingan's power to be able to copy taijutsus. The whole time they fought one another to their breaking points, he had no idea that he was actually being watched.

((Just in case you didn't see, I got the OOC thread for Asveyrn Academy up, Happy. :3))

Stepping into the dojo, dark now, though not really to Tali's eyes, she looked around. Her eyes fell on Mihura in short order, the chakra flowing through her body stark against the darkness. Entering on quiet footfalls, Tali made her way over to the bigger girl and sat down, wiggling to make herself comfortable. "I'm surprised my Rinnegan doesn't unnerve you," she said quietly. "Most people run away. You had to have heard the stories. Why do you stay? Is it because you have a tailed beast inside? Do people fear you like they do me?"

Twiddling her thumbs, Tali waited for an answer. "I like your hair, I think," she said into the silence, uncomfortable in its embrace. "At least, the color is very nice. It's natural. Mine's not." To Tali's acute vision, the dojo was positively seeping chakra residue. Of course, a lot of the techniques had been basic. The Jounin would take their Genin to a hidden spot to practice unique jutsu.

Mihura giggled and had an amused smile on her lips before she replied "Why should I be unnerved? My dad is the Kazekage and my mother can make a persons worst nightmare come true, so the rinnegan doesn't make my top five list of things to be scared of." The smile that was on her lips turned from amused to kind as she had talked. To her there wasn't anything that could be changed and she knew what it was liked to be feared for something that one couldn't control. "Besides my village feared me because of who my father is, what I might be like, what I can grow up to do. Nobody should be feared or hated just for something they can't control like that." Her voiced had turned a bit sad but she shook her head to clear her thoughts, wasn't like she could change the past.

"Thanks, I don't like it that much since it's hard to control and get to look like this. If it wasn't for the shadows laced into it then I would have two fuzzy braids instead of smooth like they are." She said before she looked at the other girl and reached out touching a strand of hair. "It's still a pretty color, even if it isn't natural. Besides it makes you stand out and it suits you." She commented as she removed her hand from the strand of hair. She stood up with another grin and looked at the other girl before she started for the door. "Come on lets go have some fun in this village." She said.


Kurai grew bored quickly while watching the kid train and made a clone of herself only more childlike version out of the shadows she controlled. She watched as it took on the washout pale colors that she was born with as a child.
The clone giggled from behind a tree away from were the jounin was hiding at. Pale washout jean color white blue hair swirled around the even paler skinned small girl. She wore a black dress with a few ninja star designs on it along with a white fox at the hem of it. Only her head peeked around the tree to watch the male train.
((not really a shadow clone like what Naruto learned but more like a clone made out of shadows and thus controlled through the connection Kurai has with the shadows that run threw her blood.
Also sorry about the shortness... feeling a bit sick and out of it.))

All the while Daigo continued to train there with his own wood clone; he wasn't sure about anything around his surroundings beside of the fact of making sure to try and see if he could release the final part of his sharingan; just so that he could learn to copy and see taijutsu before it actually hits him. Although while he trained with his clone, the real Daigo may not have been able to see it, since he was facing toward the river while attacking his clone with the kunai in his hand. Rather, his wood clone was able to see the head of a younger girl nearby behind Daigo poke out from one of the trees. With just seeing that, the clone simply jumped back a couple of feet to stop the fighting with himself. Only to end up pointing toward the direction he saw the little girl's head poking out from the side of the tree. Staring at his own clone in confusion of what he was pointing to, Daigo turned right around only to see it was a little girl. Having no idea that it was actually a jutsu rather than anything else. With his own sharingan vanishing instantly and his eyes returning to their normal light purplish color he simply undid the wood clone jutsu as the cloned Daigo immediately turned into a bit of white smoke for only a moment before completely vanishing. "What are you doing here little girl?" he asked, placing the kunai that he was using this whole time for training back into the back pouch pocket behind him. Slowly with that, Daigo began to make his way over toward the tree she was hiding behind to see what was wrong with her. This was rather new indeed, someone was actually within the area of the Uchiha; why that was, he had no idea.
