Training:

Fire Style: Fire Ball Technique
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a ball of fire within the user’s hands, no larger than two feet in diameter, that is thrown at the opponent.
Special: Rabbit, Dragon, Ram, Horse, Monkey, Tiger, forming hands into a ball where the fire forms.
Drawback: The fire is formed very near to the user’s hands, which if held for too long can cause damage to nerves. Beyond that, if used repeatedly (more than three times), the user’s fingertips and hands can begin to be singed, which can result in the slower formation of hand seals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, and then began to form a ball of fire within their hands. The ball cannot exceed two feet in diameter. The fireball is then thrown at the target. Upon impact, the fire may spread, but only if it hits something that is capable of sustaining fire on its surface.
Limit: Fire Bolt Technique, Fire Release

Moving through the dense jungle region that she had just located in the Land of Birds, Kira held on to her Longsword tightly as she look around. It was all so quiet...in fact too quiet. Obviously there was life here but all of it acted as if it were stalking her, trying to cause as little noise as possible. Kira didn't like it. She had come here in search of an animal that she'd heard of in the town, some sort of demon lizard that feasted on the bones of children. Picking herself up Kira started moving further through the dense lining of trees and as she did she pondered what exactly she would do after finding the animal. Well, I'll burn it, Kira thought to herself and with that she started working on creating a Fireball that might help her subdue the beast.

It was still very quiet as Kira formed her hands into the correct handsigns and then started concentrating chakra through her right arm. The chakra raised down her arm until it collected into her hand and Kira began to release it from the pores on her palm. Slowly the chakra began to turn into a fire like chakra, but as it did the chakra was not controlled well enough and it burst forth from her hand like little sparks. Looking around after her failure Kira saw that there were many birds around this place. I guess it isn't called the Land of Birds for nothing, Kira thought and noticed that some were bigger than they should be. Even getting to the size of a hawk or eagle. Ignoring it for now once more Kira pushed chakra into her right, upper hand and started releasing fire through her pores. As it left her hands Kira also pushed chakra into the air around her hand through her chest.

The chakra that would hopefully contain the fire was in the shape of an orb. The sparks being released from Kira's hand started to be manipulated by this chakra and form into the orb, but there wasn't near enough sparks for that. Looking around her Kira released the technique for she thought she had heard something. A branch fell from the tree beside her and Kira jerked, looking over only to find a fallen tree limb and nothing in the tree above her. This place was definitely creepy. As she walked further and further in she found that it was grower darker and darker from the massive trees. Kira tried forming more fire through her hand and containing it in order to create a light for her to see by in the dark jungle.

No luck yet, searching for this being that she'd heard so many stories about. As she continued walking Kira picked up a stick and held it up close to her face so she could see in the dense shadows of the trees. As long as I'm walking I might as well learn how to use the Wood Release, Kira thought. She knew it would take a while to learn, so why not learn now? As she walked underneath the trees and searched in every crack and crevice, Kira studied the tree branch with her fingertips, running them over the bumpy and rough surface. She began to feel the outside and know the bark and inside of the plant. Slowly, she also began to push her chakra inside of it and feel the chakra of the plant. It felt strange, much different than the fire chakra that she was use to. This chakra had life.

As she continued to study the fallen branch a shriek came from Kira's right side. She whipped around quickly to find a snake about to consume a bird, both of which were of average size. Picking up the branch Kira ran at the snake and hit it like she was hitting a baseball. The snake went flying and she continued to admire the usefulness of the wood and just how it had felt as she'd whacked that reptile. The bird went scampering off and Kira was happy that she'd been able to help it. After such time Kira continued her prospect of pushing chakra into the branch to inspect it.

Each knot had some sort of energy and all of the energy had to do with life. Life from chakra was so strange to Kira, but also so God-like. She enjoyed it beyond reason. Now Kira realized that she was coming up to a fallen log. Getting on her knees she looked under it to see if what she sought was under there. It was not and Kira sat on the log and pressed her chakra into it as well. She could feel the moss and bark on the fallen tree. It's energy fueled Kira's soul and she began to walk once more. The once quiet jungle was now beginning to pick up with life. Birds were singing and frogs were croaking. At least it isn't as creepy now, Kira thought, but the noises actually made the jungle have a sense of differentness. Now Kira knew how different it was from her home, the desert.

Having found a large creature, Kira suddenly started shooting webbing at it to stick it to the ground. She succeeded almost immediately. It was a giant lizard, or so appeared to be, but upon closer inspection Kira found that it was actually a Komodo Dragon. She knew of them, had heard and seen pictures of them, but never actually seen on up close. And this one was huge, 9 feet or so it looked like. Kira smiled happily at her find but knew she needed to continue working on her Wood Training. Walking over to a tree Kira pressed both of her hands against the bark and slowly went into a deep meditation. As she did she kept her breath regular and pushed her chakra into the energy.

It entered the pores and established itself in the veins of the tree, and Kira could feel it's life force. It felt so full, so healthy. She started to move her chakra more forcefully into that life force then, needing to learn how to shape it herself. Her chakra was pushed into the confines of each cell of the tree, and Kira was learning just how to do that. Somehow it required her to get past the cell wall of the tree's cells, which animals did not have. It was an interesting process and one that took maximum precision, or else she risked killing the cell. In the end Kira was able to do it and found herself pushing her chakra throughout major portions of the tree.

The cells in the bark would be itching with Kira's energy, itching to move. Kira wanted to know if she even could move them though, with her limited knowledge of plant life. Slowly, Kira tried sliding her chakra through the cells and moving them even the slighest bit. Wouldn't budge at all. Meditating deeper and resonating even more with the tree, Kira poured her energy around it and found her mixing her life force with it. Becoming the plant Kira saw it's energy and how exactly it worked. It was slow...too slow for Kira who was impatient. Still however, she watched and witnessed the slow movement of the cells and Kira must have stood there for a few hours in which her body became very stiff and rigid. When she was finally done watching she'd been still too long and found herself unable to train, so she watched the Komodo Dragon for some time.

After relaxing for some time, Kira knew she needed to go back to training this release. She was happy that at the very least she had discovered how exactly chakra inside of a tree moved after hours of study. Now what she needed to learn to do was very simple...she had to learn to bend a branch with just her chakra via entering the branch's cells. This would tune her in as to how to enter the cells of plants. Taking a last check at her komodo dragon to make sure it couldn't get away Kira went back to training.

Picking up a stick suddenly another person entered Kira's mind. It was the man who was teaching her to be a god, Nesrxel. "You're training how to create life, good. Now I will instruct you."

[/colour] It wasn't very often that Nesrxel came out to play so this must have been a big deal. Holding up the stick Kira examined it and then pushed her energy through the bark and inner workings of the branch, which she had analyzed for some time ealier. Nesrxel whispered to her ways to make her chakra enter the cells and not just surround them. There were small openings in the cell walls and she needed to release them through those openings at just the right times. Waiting was key.

Kira waited just as instructed by her mentor and would suddenly release the chakra into the cells of the stick when it was time. After having done so Kira found that it had indeed worked and her chakra had entered the cells of the once living plant. Now she needed to learn how to command this cells promptly and effective by bending the stick. All of her chakra in the cells Kira carefully started to push that energy to the right, however she used far too much force and only accomplished breaking the stick, and all of it's consecutive cells, in two. Cursing, Kira picked up another branch and began pushing her energy into this one's cell walls as well.

After traveling for a while, Akiko climbed down off of Hayate. "Ne~" she mumbled, stretching her legs, "I need to stretch my legs a bit. Archimedes, why don't you go find some more of those herbs with Hayate. Omori, could you come with me?" The large wolf nodded, aiming in the direction Akiko was facing.

Archimedes sighed, "Alright. I think there's a ruralish area near by I can find a few good ones from. Be safe, Girl." Akiko nodded enthusiastically. There were far too many people counting on her to die now. Archimedes too flight, with Hayate running beneath him. At the same time, Akiko took off in another direction, the wheels of her Air Trek spinning rapidly, responding to the every movement of her muscles.

Akiko bounded forward, Omori running at her side, a thin layer of chakra applied around her wheels to improve the grip of said wheels. She and he sped along, through the thicket, their modes of locomotion taking them along with traditional ninja quickness. Akiko leaped over a tree as Omori jumped and grabbed a nearby vine, using it to swing over an area of quicksand.

Akiko, the little angel she was, coiled the muscles in her legs and launched over the quicksand, her heart briefly light as she glided on pure momentum over the pit. She bent her knees and absorbed the shock as she landed, picking up her momentum and continuing to skate at top speed, as Omori landed be her side, running on all fours.

It had been so long since the two had run together like this, so long since Akiko had felt her muscles strain and stress, the sweat of pure exertion beading up on her forehead, endorphin flooding her system. If only she could do this more often. She pushed harder, faster, throwing her weight into her run, pumping her arms as hard as her tiny muscles would allow.

However, in her exhilaration, a rare, bright smile on her face, Akiko forgot to keep an eye on her surroundings, as usual. She tripped on a long root that had escaped her sight, flipping forward as her foot expressed a sudden and quite strong desire to stop, while the rest of her desired continued forward movement.

She was lucky enough to tuck in as she flipped, rolling forward back onto her feet. But unfortunately, though she managed to return to, and stay, upright, she was still very much unbalanced. She windmilled her arms, trying to regain her balance for a moment, before performing a small series of handseals, letting chakra flow through her body.

She gathered the chakra into the tiny wings on her back, causing them to grow to full size, sliding through the slits in her jacket. She had intended to use them as a sort of air break, but the lack of space given between her and a tree on the other side of a small clearing forced her plans to change. Akiko spread her large, white wings and caught the air, slowing her down on one side more than the other, throwing her out of the way of a tree, but into a rather large bramble bush next to it.

The brambles caught her, dragging her to a rapid stop, though a painful one. She sat there, upside down, lying on her back with her feet in the air, "Ne~", she mumbled as Omori came to a stop just outside the clearing, stopping and watching the human and reptile closely.

Kira had still been working with the branch she had when all of a sudden, out of the clearing, flew a young child. A young girl with blonde hair, or so it appeared. Looking upon the being with interest Kira soon noticed that it also had wings sprouting from it's back. Well if that isn't one of the most God-like things I've ever seen, Kira thought to herself, How interesting. An angel maybe? An angel to obey me?

Picking up a new branch as she walked closer to the girl Kira ran her chakra into the wood. She was still going to train even while talking to someone new. The Komodo Dragon, which was tied up in webbing to the ground like a spider's prey, laid there unable to move. Kira continued trying to make the wood explode as she said to the young child, "Well hello there. It seems as if you've taken a nasty fall. Let me help you up." Kira would hold out her left, upper hand to help the child.

While she did her chakra entered the cell walls of the wood's cells, and entered into the plasma. Reading the plasma quite well with her chakra, Kira then tried to suddenly make the plasma all move to the right. All of the plasma in the cells that Kira had affected started to push against their cell walls and move to the right. To make sure that this force worked in the proper way and didn't kill the cells, Kira visualized the movement of a plant that she had been so engrossed with studying earlier. The cells were all slowly moving to the right and Kira could feel a bit more weight adding to that side.

If the girl would accept help up then Kira would look at the child, as she continued to push the cells to the right of the branch, and say, "That fall must've hurt. Does any part of your body feel injured?" She asked this with the utmost compassion that was possible even though she was intensely concentrating on another task at the same time. Meanwhile the Komodo Dragon hissed and flailed, but it was useless against the webbing.

Akiko nodded and reached for the hand offered, "Thanks." But she realized that it would be quite difficult to extricate herself from the thorny brambles. Omori dashed forward and leaped into the air, landing on a branch above Akiko's current location. Wordlessly, he reached down and grabbed Akiko's ankle, yanking her from the brambles with a swift, strong yank.

Without saying anything, not that she would likely understand anyway, Omori leaped into the clearing and sat Akiko down, then started to pluck the burrs from her hair and clothing. "Eep," she chirped as one was pulled from her hair, "Thanks for the offer, but I think Omori's got me." The young kage sighed, sitting mostly still as she felt the wolf use his abnormally well-developed paws to pluck thorns and burrs.

"He doesn't talk much." Her face was overcome by a look of sudden realization, "Sorry, I'm being rude. I'm Ayumu Akiko, from the Land of Water. And you are?" Meanwhile, Archimedes flew through the trees with Hayate not far behind, his owl eyes peeled for a specific herb.

[OOC: O.o Well, that search turned out to be easier than expected.]

Kira looked upon this wolf as it took the girl away and pulled her back and Kira briefly wondered how it would be if the Komodo Dragon and the wolf were to fight. Quickly pushing the thought from her mind, Kira, herself a beast master, assumed that it was the young child's animal companion. Although it was strange for what appeared to be a five or six year old to have animal companions at such a young age. "A Mist ninja, huh?" Kira said aloud. Her grip on the tree branch tightened as she used more chakra to start bending the bark in the branch. If the girl was watching she would see that the bark was moving ever so slowly.

The cells were slowly forming into small groups and migrating to the right side, leaving the left side of the branch bare without bark. Not what I meant to do, thought Kira, and she started focusing on all of the branch's cells, not just the bark cells. All of a sudden as Kira was about to ask more questions something came out of the forest. It appeared to be a lizard that was a bi-ped but it had fur covering it's chest and growing from the top of it's head. First of all Kira needed to protect the girl and she knew this, secondly she needed to protect her newfound animal, and third, she was hoping to capture the creature and maybe have two new animal companions.

Jumping forward with her stick she was about to hit the creature on the head with it when it would grab the branch, quick as a flash, and start spinning Kira around by the tip of it. Kira wouldn't be able to let go for fear of flying off and hitting a tree. Pushing chakra to her arm and using her knowledge of the Wood Release, Kira exploded all of the cells in the middle of the branch, allowing her to fall to the ground instead of flinging off from the creature. Getting up quickly Kira would then fire off a wad of webbing at the creature's right foot to keep it in place and jump away.

After that, knowing that it probably wouldn't be able to get free of the webbing, Kira would turn to the girl from the Mist and say, "Oh and I call dibs." This was meant as a joke at the fact that the animal was her's. Kira would then travel a little further away and pick up yet another branch and this time bend all of the cells at once and succeed in bending the limb. She'd gotten that far at least...

Akiko sprang to her feet as she saw the lizard-thing appear. With a flicker of handseal, a thick mist filled the area in an instant, blocking all ordinary sight. Now under cover of fog, Akiko channeled chakra to her eyes, then molded more around her hands. The chakra to her eyes filled them with a blue light, awakening her doujutsu and giving her awareness of everything, down to the smallest insect.

The chakra to her hands began one of her medical jutsu, discernible in the thick fog only by the crackling electricity it exuded. Akiko tucked her wings in, pumping her arms and legs as her ATs rapidly built up speed. She started with a dead dash straight towards the lizard-thing.

As she approached, she kicked off to the side, changing her trajectory and bringing her into a high-speed dash past it. Through her doujutsu, she could analyze every inch of it's body, and that of the other girl with her. Her body was weirdly built, and had been artificially altered.

As she passed the lizard-thing, she struck at it several times with her Geiger scalpel. Each strike would only target the muscles and tendons not absolutely required for survival. Not only would this render those parts unable to move, but the geiger counter's ability to numb the area would prevent any pain or use what-so-ever.

Unfortunately, Akiko still lacked much skill in the art of stopping... Akiko fanned her wings out wide, and kicked her legs forward, both acting as breaks. Hearing her predicament, Omori sprang into action, dashing forward to where he thought Akiko was, his lupine legs carrying him as fast as any human legs ever could.

Equally unfortunately, without his ability to see, he had no clue where Akiko was, and so, unable to stop, little Akiko wound up crashing into the dense foliage of the surrounding jungle. She released the three jutsu she had active, her hands and eyes returning to normal, the mist fading away as if by the morning sun. At about that time, Archimedes found a particularly large patch of Base Mullin, and started to harvest it, while keeping an eye open for more.

"Owwie..." she complained as she returned to view. She still retained the scratches from her earlier tumble, and now had a few deeper ones, as well as a stick poking through her bicep, from one side to the other, bright red blood oozing from the wounds. "I really need to learn how to control these..." she mumbled to herself as Omori hurried over to extricate her from the underbrush, "I can't even use Ground Contraction like this."

Kira watched as the little girl also made an attack on the creature, but it was soon found that her wings ended up getting in the way causing her to fall. Normally, Kira would have helped the girl up but she knew that the wolf wouldn't allow, just like last time, and besides she needed to focus on tying up this new creature. Kira would wrap it up with her webbing, using specific webbing techniques, just like a spider captures it's prey. Reaching down near the animal, Kira would then pick up a stick and examine it. She had learned to bend sticks at least...

Looking over the girl and her wolf, Kira would start trying to make her cells mimic that of the bark of the plant on her skin. She picked some of her skin cells and slowly began to push her chakra into them on the back of her left hand. Slowly she had her chakra start to change the cells as best she could, using her knowledge from previous training. However, Kira still didn't remember the cells all that well so she sent more of her chakra into the branch to study the bark's cells. Still moving slowly and trying not to make any mistakes, Kira would start having her skin cells change ever so slightly.

As she trained in this way Kira would walk forward to the girl and said, "That was interesting attacks you performed. I applaud you on your courage." Kira's six arms swung at her side as she said this and she didn't even think about how the child might react to Kira's webbing. As she spoke the training continued and Kira's left hand was being to become hard and rough, however it was not turning into bark. Studying the cells of the stick more closely, Kira found the DNA pattern that she needed to change in her own cells and went out with her chakra to do just that.

Waiting for the girl's response Kira would continue her training as such until her skin began to take on a brownish hue. As it did it was slowly becoming more hard and tough, until finally it began to morph itself into a rudimentary type of bark on Kira's skin. Now was the task of turning it back into skin, which Kira built up chakra in her cells in preparation for.

"Thanks," Akiko said as Omori looked about the wound. Akiko grabbed the stick where it entered her arm and nodded to Omori, who grabbed the stick and it's associated branch and snapped them apart. "Bite on this," Omori said in his wolfen tongue, taking Akiko's headband out of her pocket and placing the fabric between her teeth.

Akiko bit down on it hard, grasping her arm tightly, both in preparation for what Omori had to do next. It didn't matter if this young woman saw the Kirigakure markings on the headband, she apparently already knew where Akiko was from. Akiko gave a curt nod to Omori, then steeled herself for the pain to come. Oh, how she knew this would hurt.

Omori nodded back and placed one hand firmly on Akiko's shoulder, the other firmly grasping the stick lodged in her bicep. He gave a swift, strong yank, pulling the stick free of her human flesh with an unsettling "Shlick". Blood clung to the small piece of wood as it was thrown into the foliage. As it was pulled free, Akiko let out a small yelp of pain, tears forming in her eyes from the agony of having a small irregular piece of wood pulled from within a particularly large muscle.

"Owwie," Akiko complained as she removed the headband from her mouth and replaced it in her pocket, standing up as she did so. "Thanks. I don't think I've seen Xenojutsu like that webbing of yours before. You've had your body modified too," As she spoke, Akiko molded chakra all around her body, wrapping herself in a thin aura of light. As she spoke, the chakra went to work, the countless small scratches and even the large, bleeding wound on her arm healing up as good as new, with nary a scar.

While she healed herself, a part of her mind went into trying to figure out a way to perform even a simple ground contraction with her Air Trek on. No simple task, given their weight and dimensions. Omori walked over, padding gently as he kept an eye out into the jungle for anyone or anything approaching. He'd need to be faster, more elusive, if he wanted to be able to keep her safe.

Kira watched the girl get the stick pulled from her and watched with even more interest as she healed her wounds. A medic then huh? This girl...so young... Kira thought to herself. After this small contemplations Kira moved on to the Akiko's question. "Yes I have. As a goddess one must always be seeking perfection, even when in response to one's own body." Kira said this with a smile. As she spoke her chakra raced through her cells, removing any remnant of them having been wood. At the same time Kira focused a mass of chakra to her pointer finger on her middle, left hand.

After answering the question Kira would motion to the ground below her feet. "If you'd like then the two of us can take a seat and talk for a short time." Kira said this with a smile, and if Akiko would agree then she would sit down first. Until she answered however, Kira would be preparing her chakra to enter her own cells and start to turn her very finger into a stick. It would take first and foremost, mass concentration of her skin cells which needed to become bark. With intense concentration Kira focused on forming her cells into the correct manner. Slowly her cells were changing shape.

Why must plants be so slow? Kira would wonder briefly.

Whether or not they sat down Kira would then say, "I've been to the Land of Water a few times. A nice looking place that's for sure, although very different from my home in the Land of Wind. If it's one thing we lack it's water." As she said this most of her skin had slowly turned into fake bark cells and Kira would now be focusing on changing her inner cells into plant cells, first developing a layer of chakra over all of her cells. She then made this chakra become a cell wall, or as best she could.

Akiko stands at [30/60]

Akiko raised a finger to her lip for a moment, thinking to herself. "Uh....okiedokie!" she said cheerfully, crossing her legs and sitting on the grass-covered floor of the clearing. "Omori, would you mind getting the tuning kit from Hayate's saddlebag?" Omori nodded and leaped into the thicket, leaving a short-lived illusion behind.

Akiko next turned to the young woman who had also taken a seat, "I've never seen Xenojutsu quite like that before. It's cool." Omori dashed through the thick foliage, bounding from branch to branch, swinging from vine to vine. He flew almost as if he had wings on his feet, using the springiness of the boughs to launch him to closer to his allies.

Finally, he arrived near them and caught the two birds in on Akiko's progress. "Eh? She's making ANOTHER friend?" Archimedes exclaimed, "She shouldn't be so trusting. Mori, go hurry back to her side." Omori nodded and pulled the Tuning Kit from Hayate's saddlebag. Turning around, he coiled his muscles and leaped back into the foliage, dashing back towards Akiko.

After dashing through the deep jungle a while more, Omori returned to the clearing, a small box held in one paw. Silently, Omori walked over on his back two legs and handed Akiko the box. "Thanks Omori," she said, removing her Air Trek and opening the box to reveal some device, which had a simple monitor and a few input and output jacks, a pair of headphones, a couple of wires, and a selection of tools.

Akiko plugged the wires into each of the ATs, then into the box. She then plugged the headphones into the device, and placed them on her head, leaving one ear uncovered. "I think the tuning's off," she muttered to herself, taking a tool and starting to open one of the motorized skates up. "You haven't answered my question though," she said, "Miss Goddess, who are you?"
