Ai listened intently, to her teammates requests, and more importantly, to the discussion of everyone around her. The exact reason to chose lightning seemed to be a reason no one else wanted it. One team did, but quickly changed upon the announcement of the new trial. Ai sighed thinking about it. Finally she had an answer.

[color=a187be]"Don't worry about lightning. I can protect ya. Didn't want to say anything cause who knows who's listening, but I'm a barrier nin. I'll stop anything getting to your booms. I really want to see the trial, and if we take any other trial we'll be too busy fighting other teams to figure out any puzzle. No one else is taking lightning, been listening. I have to take it because of that." [/color]

Ai confidently drew a tag from her pouch, a shield purple translucent shield forming around it for a moment. Ai let it float around her for a moment, before sheathing it. She didn't want to drain too much of the tag's chakra.  

[color=a187be]"This'll stop anything stopping you."[/color]

Smiling, Ai confidently went to turn in the scroll. Lightning was going to be fun. She had more reason to watch it. 

At first it didn't seem that way. She found herself in a dark room... a little closer to her new friends than she expected to be.

[color=a187be]"Oi, who's on my foot? I at least expect dinner before playing seven minutes of heaven! Well... at least for it not to be in the same closet as Ayame!"[/color]

Finally Ai found the knob and stumbled out. She became awe struck almost instantly. The lights, the statue, the ambiance. Reverently, Ai knelt for a small prayer. Standing back up, she suddenly exploded into an array of papers, flying up a level to the stomach of the buddha to rub it. It seemed perfect for luck. Looking around, she noted the drums. With a bit of her lip, she exploded into paper again, reappearing with her team. She seemed alot calmer infront of the buddha.

[color=a187be]"So... there are drums everywhere, a few boxes I haven't checked, a huge statue of Buddha, and three levels across this place. Where do we want to start looking for the scroll? Better to think it out than to start looking desperately. That, and I don't want to be in a rush in a room like this... I'm not sure what this has to do with lightning? Lighting, yes, lightning? Not so much. Hmm... Anyone else religious or have any ideas what Buddha here means? It's almost like he's a Shintai almost." [/color]
