Ai Kabe - Hidden Stone

- Lightning Test -


Ai listened to her teammates explanation. It seemed logical. The test was something she appreciated. She'd have to tell the Miko about this later. Already Ai was glad she'd come. And yet, ten directions...?

"It could also be the ten characteristics. Hmm... Well, I dunno, let's find out. I'll get ready."

She drew a sheet up out of her bag as Hikaru hit the drum. It wasn't like she had time to use it though. She was mesmerized by the happening of events. The flicker of lights off of buddha, the.... strange sound? Ai was on the ground before she knew it. Groaning, she slowly got up. It was a beast, and she couldn't see for the lights. Heh, ironic, she couldn't see because she was enLIGHTened.

"Well... This is odd. Someone's obviously put alot of thought into this exam. A ninja sees under the underneath...but we can't even see because of the lights. All I wanted was to see interesting sights. Hmmm. Well, if you don't mind me being bossy, Ayame, could you make a barrier for us before we beat that next drum? Don't include me. I want to see what happens."

With that, Ai drew a few seals from her bag. Floating infront of her, she tapped them, and they orbitted around her, forming a circular shield. Drawing a final tag, she flew it over to a drum, and beat it.

Like the last drum, this one too struck like a thunderstorm. Echoing through the chamber, and rattling it again like a child in a washing machine. But before things could settle, there was another flash. Coming this time from Buddha's left nipple. A force like a solid mass smashed into Ayame's barrier. A crackle of lightning filled the air, and the form bounced off. And for a moment, outside the shimmer of Ai could see clearly. For a moment, she could swear she saw a wolf. But that was only a moment before the force of impact hit her head on, knocking her several feet back, and the flash happened again. The wolf was gone, leaving Ai right on her butt. Her barrier continued circling her, before slowing down, various shields falling to the floor and deactivating.

Ai laid there dazed.

"I'm... I'm just going to lay here for a minute. If someone wants to try thinking.... feel free. Its probably ten directions of Buddha, which means we have to hit the other eight. Everytime we attack, there's a beast. Its there for a second, and disappears. It also does not like us.... like, at all. Doesn't just attack the one going for the drum. Let me know if anyone has anything to add."

Ai gave a thumbs up from the ground before letting her arm fall in a slump.

Kaito Chosokabe - Hidden Rain Village - Fighting Area


Kaito smirked after chosing the combat section as everyone around him just about was whisked away. Only the cockiest of the chunnin were left. And he was their king. The fact they dared to have confidence when he was around was an insult. The leaf had dozens of applicants. The Stone too. Other villages as well. And yet, for the Hidden Rain, it was only him. A village shouldn't send anymore for a job than was needed afterall. Talking to a proctor, he quickly got information that he was to report to an area called the Forest of Death. Kaito remembered it from his chunnin exams. Well, time to pay it a visit again. He held a handsign, and to everyone around him, faded into mist.

After a small travel, Kaito found himself in the entrance. He held his hand to the gate. For a minute, a memory passed. His team entering. Kaede had been scared, and Daisuke far too loud. If he hadn't been holding the scroll, they would have failed, they got ambushed within the hour of starting. Kaito's smirk only grew as he remembered the ambush. His teammates, completely useless. Kaito could have taken the other team, but that was far too much trouble. He'd just ran. Finding Kaded and Daisuke that had taken up most of the time limit. Kaito had been in there far too long. Oh, and the reunion. They'd screamed at him that they were going to fail because he ran off...

Kaito looked at his hand, and could almost see the two scrolls. He'd never liked his teammates. A taijutsu hothead, and a medic nin. He wondered how they were doing now? Certainly not being jonin. Hilarious he'd be back in the Leaf taking the Jonin exam before they would.

"And most of all... I wonder how dear old sensei is? Hehehe. Never amount to anything if I never learned to play nice? I bet I could take the smug look on his face off now. Well, if I don't do well, the Amekage will be mad at me. Not that I could possibly imagine that happening. I'm a sellsword, and pride is my price. She has paid me well, my service shall be rendered. Well, no use reminiscing, I have some dalcops to make cry. All I need is a single kunai..."

And with a quick slice of the fence, Kaito entered the area, carefully watching out for who the competition was. Who was actually dumb enough to fight him?
Ai Kabe - Hidden Stone



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.

"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."

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.

"This'll stop anything stopping you."

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.

"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!"

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.

"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."
-Wind-



To those taking the Wind Scroll challenge, no room awaited them. They were taken to the center of a small forested area, fairly far away from the village. The area had several rocky hills that rose up out of the forest. Even more eyecatching, however, was the dark sky. Beyond that, an extremely loud roar permeated the area, winds whirling heard in the distance. Its source was easy to track, a massive tornado made its way across the woodland. Trees, branches, and all manner of debris orbited it with no problem. What else was inside was impossible to say so much material it left. In its wake, it left a devastated trail, trees stripped of their branches and left barren. The trail itself was circular. It seemed the Tornado had been rampaging across the path for quite some time. Infact, the only area that seemed more or less alright was a large hill of stone, mostly untouched by the tornado. It rose far above the treeline, being the highest point in the area.

In the area, not much else was too much of note. There were a few human tracks away from the tornado, and no forest animals near it. The human footprints, perhaps unsurprisingly, came through the treeline, not on the ground. The odd thing was there was no rain with the dark skies. The tornado was beyond a doubt man made. An observant shinobi might note the tornado's weird behavior. Large objects were launched away from it. Like the tree trunk that came flying straight at the group, but no small shrapnel flew out of it. Whatever small item came inside the tornado stayed there.

The proctor felt there was no need to leave a note, or anything else. They would find the scroll, or they wouldn't. A ninja would see under the underneath... or through chaos in this case.
Hey, @Asura, @reflection @bladex, would you three mind trading scroll challenges with my team? We were going to Lightning, but, uh, Ic that seems to be a bad decision. You guys have water if I'm not wrong.
Kaito Chosokabe - Hidden Rain Village


Kaito had stood leaned against the wall keeping quietly to himself through a majority of the dealings in the morning. He quietly smirked as he watched the chaos unfold. This, right here, was exactly why he'd left the leaf, and yet, it was hilarious that here he was. Not that he'd expected anything different, he was an honored guest from the Hidden Rain. That, and he was so confident in his skills he wouldn't have cared if they tried to net him for his little act of disloyalty of joining another village. He almost wondered how his folks were.

Well, with the Hokage's little speech, it looked like it was time to chose. Not that was a choice. Why would someone as skilled as Kaito stoop to teamwork over a little scroll when there was a much faster option of beating an enemy ninja to the ground and calling it a day. Most ninja were weak to his style, it was an easy choice.

Unfolding his arms, Kaito walked forward, watching a little scene of a punk spitting on someone, and immediately messing with them. Kaito walked passed it like it was an every day show.

He did whisper in the other hooded man's ear however.

"My, my, dropping such valuable info. It's almost like you want to be at a disadvantage."

And he kept walking, straight up to the Hokage and his comrades.

"I have my answer, I'm not what you might call 'a team player'. More like, underappreciated genius. I'll take the fighting round, how hard could it be? Just don't expect much of a show. Well then, thank you for your hard work."

With that, Kaito returned to the crowd, seeing if he could see the other biggest jerk in the crowd with a hood on. His interest was piqued.
Ai Kabe - Hidden Stone


Ai listened carefully to the Hokage's remarks. It was odd seeing the man upclose like this. She'd seen the Tsuchikage before, sure, but there was just something weird about standing before someone so powerful. It was a new day. Listening to her two options, Ai's mind was made up instantly. It'd be fun to see what sort of challenges the scrolls had than fighting a jonin. Only someone extremely arrogant would chose that path, and it would make the path harder. That, and honestly she was just curious what the scroll challenged looked like.

While others were still taking it in, Ai turned to find her teammates, who would they be? The closest Iwa ninjas would do. She could trust them, and that just meant she had to have them trust her. She saw a man wrapped in bandages she vaguely recognized from the village, and another in a fancy robe. She didn't know either of their abilities. As for the fourth member? Ai didn't even have to turn to see her. She didn't even know where she was. She just had trust she would come.

"Hey, you two, want a team with me? I'm sorry I can't remember your names. I'm Ai Kabe. If you're fine with me, I can tell you my abilities on the way there. I'm hoping it'll be fun to see all your abilities. And even better to work around them. It's not so much what you have as much as how you use it.

As far as what scroll to chose, I say lightning. The test is to see if we're ready to be jonin, and lightning will probably end quickly one way or another. [size=1]And is the flashiest probably... [/size] I'd rather not do fire if possible...Wouldn't be as fun for me.

Oh, and I think I know who our fourth is. So, nice to meet you, friends."


Ai, the social butterfly, wasted no time in trying to get everything started and make new friends as quickly as possible. She wanted to see this test to its fullest. Most people might be intimidated by how important this test was. Or motivated to try and pass it with as much efficiency as possible. Ai honestly was just having fun.

See picture. Kaito is a fan of robes, and although childish, it makes him feel more mysterious and powerful, there is no other real reason for it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personality
If Ego were a currencty, Kaito would be the richest man on the planet. Everything he does is in some way to satisfy his. He loves to crush other people just to show that there is no one more impressive than he. Should someone be stronger, Saito will only peg it down to experience, and dedicate himself to eventually upstaging them. He literally has a list of people he doesn't like, mostly compressed of those who have in some way not bowed before his glamorous power.

Despite his love of himself, in combat, Kaito only has one thing in mind, winning, and winning quickly. He will use every dirty trick in the book to end a fight with as little effort as possible. While not as flashy, it does add to his win ration, and in the end, isn't that all that matters?

Kaito is easily flattered, and will serve whoever has the most silver tongue. He's hesitant about serving a major village, however. He can't shine when a place is literally filled with KG users.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Born to the humble parents, Kaito was the first person in his family to become a ninja. It was a difficult road for him. In the classroom, he was always forgotten for some star student whose family had been ninjas for generations. The Uchiha, the Senju, the Nara, the Yamanaka.... the list went on and on. His parents barely could afford to keep Kaito enrolled. Kaito decided then he would not ever waste any weaponry. He began to get a name for only ever using one kunai, and for taking extrodinary good care of it.

Kaito had to work extra hard to catch up to other ninja, but doing so allowed him a view from behind none of them had enjoyed, and more importantly, a view of their weaknesses. He noted how few ninjas were adept at genjutsu, and how often they freaked out when confronted with it, and so Kaito knew he had found his forte.

Kaito's anonymity finally worked for his favor in the chunnin exams, where he was able to carry his team largely because no one expected some no name to be a threat. He made it all the way through that year on his first try.

Kaito, however, was unhappy. Despite his success, no one knew who he was. They might mention him as being talented, but the immediately compared it to clan heirs of the same age group. Heirs that he had defeated, head on, (mostly)fair and square! It was infuriating. On one mission, his world changed. Working along side a few Rain nin, the jonin their praised his skills, and his skills alone. That was enough for Kaito. He immediately went rogue and joined the Hidden Rain.

Its been about a year for Kaito, and his ego has enjoyed the small village immensely, becoming a name mentioned much more often than in the Leaf. Being selected to try and become a jonin, Kaito immediately laughed at the exams taking place in the Leaf, and left without a single concern about his status there.

Name of Weapon or Item: Kaito's kunai
Description: A single Kunai Kaito has kept since he was a genin. It is in excellent condition for its age, and the edge well kept. Unfortunately, its full of scars being older than any knife should be. At this point, however, it is so treated by Kaito's chakra that it reacts naturally to its flow.

Ai Kabe - Hidden Stone


Ai looked around her with a sense of wonder. Sure the Hidden Stone had trees, but not like this. They were everywhere, and the place, it was so green. It was so nauseating to look at for the first time. Ai was having trouble taking it all in, not that it would stop her from trying. Ever since she'd started living, Ai had promised to make every day worth it. Travelling was the best.

Stopping to pick a few flowers, she called back to the rest of the caravan making to the Leaf.

"So, what exactly do you figure they'll have us do? I'm a little afraid of the Uchiha and Senju clans here. If anything's team based, you can count on me, but I have the sinking suspicion seeing as this is a jonin exams we're all going to be on our own."

Putting an iris in her hair, matching its color, Ai returned to the group, still thinking on the exam. She sunk her hands in her bag of tags. She might as well make some more as they traveled. Unlike most ninja, Ai literally was only as good as her tools. The gate wasn't that far off.

"I really hope I don't have to fight any of you, but if I have to, no hard feelings right? I'll even take you all out to the Ichiraku place they were talking about. It sounds great."

Papers took just a second, and soon she found herself at the stadium. As she passed the streets, she couldn't help but look for the infamous ramen stand. The architect was interesting to say the least. Still, the sights never seemed to cease. Ai was glad she'd come.

Inside the stadium, she looked to see people just as interesting as the scenery. She was quick to find Koma bowing.

"Hey, Koma, there you are. Wondered where you had gotten too. Oh, sorry, forgot to bow. I'm Ai Kabe, of Iwagakure. I'm looking forward to competing with you. ♪And seeing what special skills you have.♪ Not every day I get to see ninja out of Iwagakure. Of course, don't think we won't give you any trouble."
Boy, if this RP involves a lot of PvP, my character is f**ked. XD


Meh, your character is faster than most people, has a deadly enhanced sword, and can suffocate things from a range. I have the sinking suspicion you'd be fine.
