Road to Hidden Waterfall, From Sound(training)

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

::continuing from King's residence-Genshuku Meets the Takikage::

Genshuku and Katara walk back onto the training grounds. Katara sits down by a tree while Genshuku goes to the center to begin training. "Hah, Chuunin Exams are starting soon. I have to get better. I'm a ninjutsu specialist with some Taijutsu skill. Hibiki is a taijutsu specialist with basic ninjutsu skils and Zatoichi is just starting out. I just have to get stronger. Hell's ears!" He says closing his eyes and concentrating. okay, so Katara is on my left. the village is in front of me and four birds are in back. Let's see if I am right. he thinks opening his eyes revealing everything was inverted. crap, didn't work, let's try it again. Hell's Ears! okay, two birds are at my right. four lizards are to my left. and a rat is in front of me. Now again, let's see. he opened his eyes again and he was completely off. Nothing was in the right spot.

Okay, again. he thinks closing his eyes again. Four birds in front of me. three in back, two to my left and one to my right. This better be right. He opens and sees everything inverted. This is seriously pissing me off right now. Let's try this again, Hell's Ears! I hear chirping about three meters in front of me, judging from the pauses, volume, tone, and rhythm I'd say its a sound condor. he opens his eyes and sees a sound hawk, not a condor. Holy Crap!! Oh well, again I guess. Let's see if I can find Hibiki adn Zatoichi. I hear nothing, damn. Okay, let's try something else. huh, what's that, I hear somethign twirling. Okay, judging from the frequency of the sound waves, the volume, and the sound of the twirl, It sounds like a kunai.

[etsukoteramune]

It was indeed a kunai. Teramune stood in a tree with a blank face looking down at them two.
"What did the Kage say?" Teramune stood patiently waiting for a reply.
Though he was eager to do something more interesting then sit in Waterfall.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"Oh nothing, he wanted us to act as his diplomats to the mist village and in return, we recieve training from his elite ANBU, we turned him down though. Oh and use body flicker to hide somewhere, I want to find you using Hell's ears. Ok" Genshuku replied. I have to get better he said to himself.

[etsukoteramune]

Teramune shook his head as Jinketsu crawled up his Neck.
"I have to go to Sand to visit my Aunt, she also wants you to meet her Genshuku, so Please come with me."
Teramune waited patiently.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"Let, Hibiki and Zatoichi come. and who is your aunt. I know of your cousain, shiro, the man who abandoned the Etsuko. Hibiki hates the main house so I don't know what he wants to do. Zatoichi, I have no clue." Genshuku said. "Til then, help me train.

[etsukoteramune]

Teramune nods.
"My Aunt Akane, Clan Leader of Etsuko. Shiro's mother and Heir of Etsuko. I'll help you till you're ready, but Hibiki is a Hyuuga, and Etsuko came from Hyuuga, and I doubt Hibiki would be allowed a foot in our grounds. But....Then Again I can get him in, through a few things."
Teramune Disappears and throws ten Kunai.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

concentrate, concentrate GEnshuku. THere! he thinks dodging two kunai but is cut by the other eight. damn it, "Let's try that again." He shouted.

[etsukoteramune]

Teramune flicks out three Shuriken from his pouch and Throws them at Genshuku a large distance away.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

okay, sounds like shuriken. To my left! he says trying to dodge to the right but gets hit unfortunetly due to the fact that they were launched from the right. I'm not giving up, I'm not going to stop. Not now, NOT EVER! He thought getting into stance again. Even if I am beaten to an inch of death, even if I am captured. If my friends are hurt, I'll kill anyone in my way! and if I can't master this jutsu then what good am I to my team. "I'm going to do this until I get this right!" He screamed closing his eyes and focusing on sound.

OOC: I just had my naruto moment lol
and for any mod reading this, I have had my weights on this entire time. THey are twenty pounds.

[etsukoteramune]

Teramune Laughed a little from a distance but threw three Shuriken to the right of Genshuku and three to the left. Then he body flickered below Genshuku and attempted to kick him in the chin, raising him into the air, level with the incoming shuriken.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"No Way!" GEnshuku said opening his eyes only to be kicked in the air by teramune. damn it! he thought. as the shuriken hit him. He fell on the floor bleeding. He got up and walked over to Katara. She then did her best to heal him using her basic medical skills. "Thanks." He said and she replied with a soft, "Your welcome." He then walked back to the center adn noticed Hibiki and Zatoichi coming.

[etsukoteramune]

Teramune smirked as Jinketsu crawled all over his body. After awhile Jinketsu rested again on his head, and Teramune sat leaning on a tree some distance away.
Shiro has gone missing and Akane wants me to tell him come back....That'll be difficult. Even with Sharigan...He surpasses me in all things. I might as well surrender to him if it gets to become a bloody conflict..
Teramune looked into the sky and then closed his eyes, in frustration.

[corrin]

"Hello again Teramune." The familiar voice sounded behind the Etsuko boy, about ten feet away. It was Corrin, who incidentally had been sleeping in the forest around this training area. He walked up to Teramune and stood on his left hand side, looking over to him.
"Ah, I see you are training again," he said in a pleasant voice that was ever present in his speech, "This is good because I have a favor to ask of you. I want to travel with you for a while." Corrin grinned and placed his hand behind his head.

"I know that this is kinda sudden," he said, "but I would see more venturing with you than on my own. Plus, I could help you train as well. I know you have three others who could help you, but they don't know the things I do. What do you say?" He looked over at Teramune questioningly, opening his eyes for the first time to the boy and revealing the gold and silver tye-dye swirl. His eyes were pupiless, in fact, his eyes were orbs of the gold and silver tye-dye swirl, thus the reason he always kept them mostly closed.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

Genshuku notices the rain ninja and ignores him because he seems to know teramune. Genshuku then walks over to Hibiki and Zatoichi and says, "Hey guys, Teramune wants us in the Etsuko. He's not sure about you Zato, Hibiki, he thinks he can get in, and me, he's pretty sure. So what do ya say?"

[Zatoichi of Hagakure]

((4 threads later))
Zatoichi comes running up the hill ((kinda like when Lancealot ran up the hill towards the castle in Monty Pythons Holy Grail)) He finally reaches the point at where Gen and Ter were training..."Sorry guys...I had to cover my tracks...I had to make sure that no ANBU were following me. Shall we continue"


Zatoichi continues to train his Shadow clone Jutsu. He gathers all of his chakra in his hands to create the Jutsu. He got up enough chakra that he finally made one perfect clone that lasted for 5 minutes. Zatoichi was soo exausted..he decided to take a break.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"Zatoichi, do ya wanna head to sand, I mean now, we're in troubel with hidden waterfall so I guess we need to leave, quickly." Genshuku said at Zatoichi.

[Zatoichi of Hagakure]

"Umm sure...besides I need some weights." Zatoichi gathered himself up and grabbed his sword. Still feeling a bit light headed... he decided to body flicker to the boarder. Once at the boarder...he sat down and waited for Teramune, Genshuku, and Hibiki. Zatoichi sat a little while longer and finally stood up when he could sense someone was near him..and not someone friendly...He decided he would stay and wait for someone to attack him...that someone did..well someone's did. 5 ANBU to be exact...

"If you wish to take me back...I will not go peacfully."

Zatoichi pulled his sword into a ready stance and absorbed nearby sound and pulled it out before several ANBU jumped him and shouted, "Jishinha!" Zatoichi slammed his blade into the ground at the last letter and released a massive sound wave ((an earth quake of 6)) The ground broke apart causing great chasams to open and ANBU to fall into the endless pits of hell. Trees broke at their roots and pulled up from the ground...one ANBU tried to through a Kunai at Zatoichi's forehead and knock him out...but he managed to catch it between his fingers and throw it back at him.
After all of the ANBU were gone..Zatoichi pulled his blade from the ground and wiped the clay off of it. "I must get back to the village and get this fixed by A sword smith."

[etsukoteramune]

@ Corrin
---------
Teramune looked up and Nodded. "I'm Heading to sand soon though, You can acompany me."
Teramune stood up and looked at Zaitochi.Why is he so damn hyper?
Teramune walked over to Genshuku and stood silently. "So when do we Depart?"

[Zatoichi of Hagakure]

Zatoichi felt the presence of to familiar people...

"So when do we depart" said Teramune

"As soon as possible...I have a feeling that we will be followed until we reach sand."

((wait are we going to sand? do you know how far that is from where we are? We would have to go through Fire Nation and river nation to get there...I'm hoping you mean Sound))

[chibi]
