Building Blocks

---------

It would be a particularly odd sight in Konoki. A very modern building near the center of the town, the building was huge and loomed over almost everything else. IT was no where as big as Konoki's Tree of Life but it was still pretty damn big. But that was the architect drew on the paper. In reality the building was just getting started. The area was cleared and all the support and crap was put into place. They were finally working on building the tower up, to reach towards the sky. Workers had been working hard, but the money they would walk away with would be substantial. But even then the workers needed a little help. When they were up on the metal beams they needed food, supplies and a bunch of other stuff. Thats where ninjas came in.

Zack waited around just watching the tower get built. It would be pretty awesome once it was finally done, Konoki was finally on the road to modernization it seemed. Hell they probably wouldn't be caught up with Sato but they were on their way. Anyways, the man sat on an iron beam, next to him was a backpack, in that backpack was stuff for the students. Some scrolls, some food and some other crap. Today their job was to help out the workers, deliver materials, beams and a bunch of other stuff. It would help pick speed up on the project and get the team to learn a little something.

While waiting Zack was flipping through a file, it described all of them. Previous records from the academy. First was this Hokuto girl, a specialist at poison ninjutsu. Next was a Ronin kid, ninjutsu and taijutsu with a little "fire power" in there. Finally there was Hayato Haruko, lighting element with ninjutsu. The whole team seemed interesting and a good thing for Zack was that there were no Genjutsu specialists. That would make his work easy, he had nothing to really teach about genjutsu.

After finishing the files he placed them into the backpack and waited for the team. He was hoping the team would arrive soon, and all with good attitudes otherwise it would be a long ass day.

[Jade-Star]

Just recently, Hokuto was appointed a new Jounin Sensei in the village of Konoki. Today was their day to finally meet up. Though with a new sensei, also comes along with other new students. She just hopes they won't be weak and slow her down. As she walked to the construction site, she could already see people working on it. The thought of a new weapons company was interesting. Could prove some use.

Why bring us here to first meet up?

This was a bit odd of a place to meet up. There must be a catch. Would he already be giving them some training? Who exactly is this guy? Hopefully he would be a good guy to work with.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato was glad. Had been just a few days since he came back to Konoki, after his days in the Academy. His family was certainly excited about it and so was him. He felt that he had grown quite a bit in the Academy. And so did his parents and brothers.

As he walked through the streets in Konoki, towards the meeting site, he couldn't help but be amazed by how much things had changed in the years he spent away. And, to top all of that, there was that building site, where he was heading to. Something big was going on and it made his mind spin out of control.

"This is my first time meeting my team. Certainly hope they are easy to get along with... Like those guys in the Swamp..." he thought to himself, as he finally saw what should be his Sensei. He took of his sun glasses, putting them away inside a pocket of his jacket.

"Ohayo, Zack-Sensei, is it?".

Haruko Hayato, the happy go lucky "Lightning Taijutsu" user. Perhaps Zack would be familiar with his parents, which were competent Taijutsu and Ninjutsu Jounin users from the village.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo went home right after meeting one of his clan member, he new the time when to get to the place where they had to meet.

Once he went home, his father reminded him about the meeting, of course Ryozo didn't forget it, his father said, "You'll be meeting your squad at the building blocks." his father said as he gave Ryozo a water pill to swallow, "Swallow it, you'll recover your chakra quickly." Ryozo's father said.

After Ryozo swallowed the water pill, he said thanks to his father and walked to the building blocks, Why are we meeting here, are we in a mission or something? he thought suspiscously.

Ryozo arrived at the building blocks after a few minutes, there were many construction sites around him, Is this a part of our training? Or is it our mission? he thought as he headed further.

He could see 2 students, one was a boy about the same height as him and the girl that is taller, Looks like I'm the youngest here... he thought, Who cares if I'm young at a genin stage, atleast I'll be in a early age when I get to jounin... he thought as he walked further, he could see a jounin with an afro hair, "Are you Zack-sensei?" he asked calmly.

[AfroNinja]

All three had arrived, on time for the most part. It didn't matter if they were late really, Zack was always fashionably late no mater where he went. The first to arrive was the girl, who seemed to be lost. Guess she didn't noticed the guy in the jounin ninja outfit from all the construction workers in bright yellow vests. Next was another boy, whom he believe to be the Haruko kid. And finally the Ronin boy showed up. The whole team was here, Konoki's Team 8.

"Aye, I am Zack. Drop that sensei crap, just call me Zack ya dig. Well this is our first meeting. As you can see I chose a construction site as our meeting ground" Zack waved his arm as if he was unveiling the site. Like earlier things where pretty busy and were only getting busier.

"Our first meeting believe it or not is a mission. Not only a mission but a damn educational mission!" Zack said this proudly but his jest was filled with sarcasm. "Just what you wanted to hear eh!?"

"As you may of guessed I own this plot of land and this building thats going up. I registered extra help as a mission, taking advantage of it and hopefully it works out good. Anyways your mission today is simple. Deliver goods to the workers up there." Zack pointed at a worker on what would be the forth floor, he was drilling a long, thick screw into a metal beam. "Well your mission is to get up there. How you may ask? Well of course I'm going to teach you Kinoboori, and now is the perfect chance to. So..."

Zack shuffled into the bag that he brought, his hand went to the bottom and felt around. He felt one of the things he was looking for and pulled it out. A scroll. He felted around again finding the two scrolls buried under some other stuff, he pulled them out and placed it next to the other scroll next to him.

"These three things will teach you everything you want to know about Kinobori. Now get reading. Ask me questions and after you do some chakra molding lemme know. Thats when the mission starts." Zack crossed his arms and looked at the group with a smile.

"You wonder why I am rushing you, it's only because I'd rather teach some more interesting things quicker. Stuff that will put you to an advantage against in the Chuunin exams."

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Right after Ryozo asked about the name of his sensei, the jounin spoke up,

"Aye, I am Zack. Drop that sensei crap, just call me Zack ya dig. Well this is our first meeting. As you can see I chose a construction site as our meeting ground" the jounin said, Man... I'll have hard time getting used to our sensei... He's more like a cowboy than a ninja... he thought, the sensei then spoke up more words,

"Our first meeting believe it or not is a mission. Not only a mission but a damn educational mission!" the jounin stopped and said, "Just what you wanted to hear eh!?" He also have a very loud mouth... he thought getting annoyed about his sensei's cowboy-like speeches, the sensei then spoke more words,

"As you may of guessed I own this plot of land and this building thats going up. I registered extra help as a mission, taking advantage of it and hopefully it works out good. Anyways your mission today is simple. Deliver goods to the workers up there." the jounin said as he pointed to the worker who is most likely to be on the forth floor, the worker was drilling hard enough for Ryozo to hear it loudly, Looks like I'll need to wear my ear protecting my father gave me...

Ryozo's father then called Ryozo before he went to the Building blocks, "Ryozo!!" his father called, "Bring this with you! You'll need to protect your ear!" his father threw it to him as Ryozo caught it.

Ryozo put on his ear protector, and his sensei said some words,

"Well your mission is to get up there. How you may ask? Well of course I'm going to teach you Kinoboori, and now is the perfect chance to. So..." the jounin stopped and opened a bag he brought, after a few seconds, the jounin pulled out two scrolls and said,

"These three things will teach you everything you want to know about Kinobori. Now get reading. Ask me questions and after you do some chakra molding lemme know. Thats when the mission starts." Finally no more loud mouths from him... he thought and listened more on the jounin,

"You wonder why I am rushing you, it's only because I'd rather teach some more interesting things quicker. Stuff that will put you to an advantage against in the Chuunin exams." The chuunin exams... Quicker huh? That'll be much more like it than slowing down... he thought.

"So when do we start?" he asked in a calm voice.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto looked up as she heard a voice. It appeared to be here sensei shouting over. She grinned as he explained about what they plan to do here. It seems he knows so little about his students. One would think he would look at extra info before they arrive.

She placed a hand on her hip and slightly let it pop out. "There's one problem here, I already know Kinobori."

Yeah, the other students would be able to learn, but what about her? This mission just got a whole lot easier for her. Too bad for the others. Looks like they have to learn the harder way.

[Guilherme Blues]

As Zack spoke, Hayato looked over his shoulder. Another boy and a girl. Geez, a girl! Pretty at that, too, but he was way too convinced that girl were trouble. He almost got killed by one, so he knew it wasn't a good idea to be on their bad side. And, also, she seemed to be quite a bit ahead of them.

"Great"

The other boy seemed to have an attitude problem, with those ear protectors and all. "Fantastic".

But nonetheless, they were his team and he'd have to do the best he could with them. And with that in mind, he got his scroll. "How long do we have to master this technique, Zack?", he asked as his eyes went through the information. So that's how Sai Sensei did it. Hayato couldn't help but get excited with that prospect. After all, seeing one of his Sensei doing that for the first time had been a blast.


EDIT: Heck, I just found out I was supposed to have an unique eye color... Wonder how I'm gonna change that in my app... Sorry Jade, I'll work better on the clan affairs from now on >.<

[AfroNinja]

"You start now. Read the scrolls or whatever. If you need anything explained or need any help just gimme a shout."

Zack first answered Ryozo's question. He hoped that these kids could partially teach themselves because he didn't want to waste so much time learning this basic Kinobori crap. Anyways, he quickly diverted his attention to Hokuto. She had seemed to already know the technique, so she could immediately start to bring up supplies to the workers.

"Well Hokuto you can start by bringing some stuff up to the guys on the six floor. They need some bolts, a tool case and some water." Zack pointed to a shed that was nearby. "All of that is in there. It's a long way up so take it slow. If you happen to take a tumble I'll be down here to catch ya. Oh yeah, if your teammates have any problems you can try to help them. It will get everyone closer as a team."

Finally he answered Hayato. This boy seemed pretty damn positive, and Zack noticed him partially checking out Hokuto, he laughed a bit and answered the kids question.

"You got until the end of the day to master this technique. The workers are only here until seven though, so that gives you approximately nine hours to complete the mission." Zack sighed a bit and explained himself further. "It is pretty tough to do that, but I have confidence in all of your abilities. And like I said I'm here to help and answer questions."

[Jade-Star]

"Well Hokuto you can start by bringing some stuff up to the guys on the six floor. They need some bolts, a tool case and some water." Zack pointed to a shed that was nearby. "All of that is in there. It's a long way up so take it slow. If you happen to take a tumble I'll be down here to catch ya. Oh yeah, if your teammates have any problems you can try to help them. It will get everyone closer as a team."

The kunoichi sighed. It seems that she'll deliver the bolts and water first, then the tool case last. Even now, the first day she met the team, the other students would be slowing her down. Oh well, she'll just have to deal with it.

This will not be interesting...

She grabbed many bolts and placed them into her hip pouch and also grabbed several water bottles. Then she walked over to the building and looked up. There weren't many walls, just large pillar like standing objects keeping the floors up. That's what she would walk on.

And she did, she placed her right foot first on it and continued to walk up. She sped up her movement, so she wouldn't walk too slow, but made sure not to take it took fast like her new sensei said.

ooc: it's okay Guil, just edit it in next time you make an app

[Guilherme Blues]

""Okay,then... No problem! Let's get down to this...".

Hayato sat down on the ground, reading the first scroll. He didn't get far on it, though. In about two or three minutes, he got up and took of his jacket and placing it on the ground. The only part he actually read on the scroll was the one saying that he should focus his Chakra on his feet.

So, he should link the surface and his feet using chakra to "glue" it? Sounded pretty simple. He should know it wouldn't be THAT easy, but the first thing would be give it a shot and check on the reaction, and get directions from there on.

The young Haruko Genin stopped to watch the Kunoichi sigh and start moving. Yeah. Very nice attitude. Wasn't he a lucky fellow? Such nice team mates!

"I'll have to work on those people... And I really don't want to be on her bad side..." he thought, as the girl walked up the construction.

Okay, so very nice. Didn't seem so complicated, did it? No, he told himself, it didn't. And for that reason he decided to follow the girl. While getting close to the pilar he would climb, he gathered his chakra on his feet. First thing: Make a connection to the ground. He would use his chakra to link himself to the pilar, but first he should know how it would feel. And it should feel like walking on the ground.

"First step, done."

And now, for the main attraction! Hayato placed his right foot on the pilar. Not moving for a while. One, two... Five minutes he spent looking up and focusing. He figured out that if he just tried to maintain himself connected to the pilar first, without having to start over in case of falling, he would come up with the right amount of chakra and the right way to mold it in less time.

Finally he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Making his first step upwards. And for about twenty to thirty seconds, he kept perfectly still on the pilar! But just as long, before he fell on his back.


"Damn it! I thought I had it!".

OOC: Will do it!
OOC2: By the way, how long should take Hayato to learn the technique, anyway? He is a fast learner, so I think it wouldn't be that long... But I don't want to Godmode...

[Ronin, Ryozo]

So? It doesn't mean you won't do the mission... Ryozo thought when the girl said that she already knew Kinobori.

Zack threw the scroll to each students, each students caught the scrolls, the jounin then answered Ryozo,

"You start now. Read the scrolls or whatever. If you need anything explained or need any help just gimme a shout." the jounin stopped and spoke to the girl who almost had the bossy-type,

"Well Hokuto you can start by bringing some stuff up to the guys on the six floor. They need some bolts, a tool case and some water." the jounin then pointed to a shed, "All of that is in there. It's a long way up so take it slow. If you happen to take a tumble I'll be down here to catch ya. Oh yeah, if your teammates have any problems you can try to help them. It will get everyone closer as a team." the jounin stopped and looked at the boy who's name was Hayato and spoke,

"You got until the end of the day to master this technique. The workers are only here until seven though, so that gives you approximately nine hours to complete the mission." the jounin stopped and said, "It is pretty tough to do that, but I have confidence in all of your abilities. And like I said I'm here to help and answer questions."

Ryozo finished listening to the instructions of the jounin, he then opened the scroll, it was written that the person has to concentrate their chakra into their feet and balance the chakra, also the person needed to relax when he or she is going to use the Kinobori.

He then grabbed as much as tool case he could carry, water bottles and some bolts, he then concentrated his chakra on his feet and took his first step, he looked up, the girl was already going up like it was nothing, What a show off... he thought, he then took his second step, it wasn't easy to balance his chakra, Man... I thought this is gonna be easy just the way I thought... he then took his third step, Relax Ryozo... Just Relax... he thought and once he took his fourth step, he lost his balance and fell, Damn... he thought and repeated the steps again.

OOC: My char is a fast learner and has good chakra control, how many pages will it take to make him finish Kinobori?

[AfroNinja]

This is a requirement for Suimen, and easier to train then Suimen.
The basics of this can be grasped in 2 pages. To use it without any hand seals you need 3 pages, and if you do 4 pages, it doesn't take up from your concentration, allowing you to use other jutsu simultaneously without any disadvantages.

ooc: I'll let Zack just watch until someone needs help or the mission is over.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato looked over Ronin, as he stood still on the ground. The team mate was a bit more hurried than he was, wasn’t he? In the fourth step, Ronin fell down and Hayato laughed. That was a worse fall than his, so he was at an advantage, he thought. No matter how much farther the other boy went, his fall was worse. He felt like it was going to be a long partnership, that one. Especially since none of the Genin talked to each other in all of that time, which made for a great atmosphere.

But he couldn’t just lie down there like that. His mind was driven back to his training, on exactly what went wrong on his first attempt. Did his Chakra flow go erratic? Well, that could be it.

With a heavy breath, he got up and walked over the pillar again, not worried about getting any of the stuff he should take up. The mission was not on his mind right now. All that he cared about was nailing the technique at hand.

And once again he placed his right foot on the pillar. Hayato closed his eyes and made the handseals that were listed on the scroll. Soon he felt as his Chakra began to flow, connecting him to the iron pillar, as if he was standing on the ground itself. It had absolutely nothing to do with avoiding neither gravity nor anything crazy like that, so he should throw that in the equation. His body would be pulled down, so it should take extra energy to stand still.

Once again, after a couple of minutes, he brought his left foot to the pillar and stood still. This time the flow of his Chakra was okay, he could feel it pretty consistent and his feet not slipping. But his body was still being dragged back. If it was not for his very strong legs, that situation would be terrible. The strain it put on his muscles was quite deep, and that made it a good training on itself for him.

By that time he began to understand the basics of the technique, the concentration required to keep the chakra flow steady was just as demanding as his Wire Manipulation Jutsu.

“Just keep focusing on the feet… Now… Start focusing somewhere else. Like your hands. Okay, the hands… If it works with your feet, it should pretty much work with your hands as well. So… The seals and…”

For one more time, he made the hand seals. This time, he split his focus between his feet and his hands, keeping the new flow of Chakra on his palms, while bending his body and placing his right hand on the pillar.

As he tried to stick to the cold iron, his feet started to slip again.

“Holy shit!”

The young Haruko felt as his hands kept him “glued” to the pillar with the steady Chakra Flow.

“Hell, yeah!”

Trying it out, he stretched his body in a 90 degree angle to the construction. With a big burst laugh, he got back to the ground.

“That’s the basic idea, then…”, he said to himself, as he looked up the construction site. “Now, let’s see if we can make this a little bit better…”

[Jade-Star]

ooc: Yeah, a page with size 12 font.

Hokuto sped herself up more to walk up the large pillar. Within several minutes, she already gave her first load to some of the workers. They were pleased with her help. She slid off the pillar until she was about twenty feet up, she caught balance on the pillar and pushed off of it to land on the ground. "I wonder how long this will take," she whispered to herself. This could possibly take awhile.

She jogged over to the shed to grab more water and the tool case. It was quite heavy for a tool box. She would have to run up with this thing. Dammit. This was a boring mission.

As she ran at the wall, she jumped to give her less pillar to run on. She continued to run up the pillar until she got the the sixth floor. By the time she got up there, she needed a break. She was slowing panting as she took a seat next to the workers. "What else do ya need fellas?" she asked.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo heard the boy laughing at him when he fell down, ... Just as I thought... Everyone would laugh at me anyway... And what else... I could smash his head with one clear hit with my training sword, or I'll just use a fire jutsu and panic him... he thought, but he didn't care whether the boy laughed at him or not, he just concentrated on sticking his feet on the pillar, I think I've got something... he thought, he then put the heavy stuff back to the place where the tool cases , bolts and water bottles were.

After Ryozo did that, he performed a hand seals and concentrated his chakra to his feet, he then ran to the steel pillar, focused and ran up, he when he ran going up the pillar, he felt like he actually need it, he did not know he became over confident, suddenly, when he took a step when he was in about on the second floor, the time he took a step, the place where he took a step broke,

"Darn it!!"

Ryozo said he then jumped away from the pillar and landed properly, he looked at the other boy that laughed at him earlier, the boy wasn't great enough and Ryozo had the advantage because he almost got to the second floor.

Hayato's foot was slipping, he then used his hand to glue it, then again, he stood back up.

So if I make my chakra too strong, the iron blends or breaks, but if I do it soft... he thought then ran to the iron pillar, when he took his first and second, there wasn't a problem, but when he took the third, he slipped, he then made a quick jump so he wouldn't fall down.

So it slips if it is too slow, Man... I'm going to have a hard time learning this... he thought.

OOC: I'm going to finish four pages.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato was quite happy with his own progress. In fact, he came up with an idea for the rest of his training. There was enough time to run up later, what he needed was to master the technique itself. He couldn’t help but to laugh as Ronin fell again. The boy was clearly getting mad and ahead of himself. That could turn out ugly, but the young Haruko boy couldn’t care less. If his team mate couldn’t take a joke, then he had no self control, which would make him easier to defeat.

“Well, back to training!”, he thought as he looked over the iron pillar. Without the hand seals, Hayato focused his Chakra both on his hands and feet. With his eyes closed, the boy slowed his breathing, to make a steady flow of his energy. He let a smile slip and opened his eyes. It was just right.

Finally he would make his first actually fast try. In a blink, Hayato was on the pillar. He was VERY fast. His speed was incredible for his rank and he thought it would be nice to give everybody a little show of that.

After two steps on his way up, Hayato jumped forward, using his hands to stick to the iron pillar and making a hand stand. Without breathing for a couple of seconds, just to try out the flow of his Chakra. It was just okay. This time he went back to his feet, assuming a fighting side stance. With a deep breath, he forced himself to focus. He was starting to slip, but made an effort to keep himself in place.

“Breathe… Very nice! Now, if I can raise my leg… Very slowly…”

And so he did. The mission was not in his mind right now. One kick after another, one punch after another, and he started of a shadow boxing exercise on the iron pillar. Very slowly, with all his focus. Making sure his Chakra flow was steady, making sure he wouldn’t fall if he was to stand on a single leg or hand.

For starters, his kicks and punches were not amazing. His balance was not in it’s prime, thanks for the different pull of gravity. But he was getting the hang of it. And then a side kick, followed by a drop of a few feet. Hayato got back on the pillar with his feet in line.

He took a deep breath and then let himself fall back on the ground, where he opened a big wide smile.

"Well, that's about right. Don't think there's anything missing... So let's get back on the mission..."

What good did running up and falling did, anyway? Hayato focused on his control and how to use the technique in more than a single way. After that, running up and down, or sticking himself to a wall amidst a free fall would be no problem at all! The only thing lacking was doing that instinctively, but he could work on that as the day went by.

The Genin went over to check out what he needed to take first. He could do with a tool box and some lunch, right? He got it all in a back pack and started running up the pillar, aiming for the sixth floor, where Hokuto should be. There they could, perhaps, start a bit of a plan or at least organize the way things should be done from there on.

[Jade-Star]

This was starting to be a pain. The other teammates were slowing her down. She sighed. I guess I should help them.. She slid down the pillar once more and walked over to one of her teammates. The Haruko kid was her first choice.

"Alright, I normally don't help people but I don't want to be slowed down, and I'm sure you don't either. But need help on anything?"

She offered the best she could. After working with this kid, she'll go try and help the other. But she still had to do her mission. She is suppose to bring up tools, but that is all? I guess we'll get more details once these kids handle Kinobori.

"Also, need help carrying anything up?"

[Guilherme Blues]

“Uhn... Hey. No, no... I’m cool, as a matter of fact; I was just going up to see if you needed any help. I’m bringing the workers some lunch. I was going to ask you what else I should take up…”

That wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. She wasn’t a nice girl, but she didn’t sound all of that bad. Hayato took a while to realize he was still using the technique, even though he took the time to talk to Horuko. That gave him an idea. Right at that moment he knew that he could do something else, without needing to focus so much in maintaining the technique itself. So, maybe…

“Hey, listen. I have an idea… An idea of how to bring lots of things at once, so we can finish this and move on quickly… Let’s get down and I’ll show ya what I’m talking about…”

Hayato was, once again, excited about what he was finding out. If he could do as he thought, the mission would have gone way easier…

[Jade-Star]

“Uhn... Hey. No, no... I’m cool, as a matter of fact; I was just going up to see if you needed any help. I’m bringing the workers some lunch. I was going to ask you what else I should take up…”

Hokuto glared at him. "Now why the hell would I need your help? I already mastered this. And don't try to act tough with me, I can already see through you," she explained. It was sort of pathetic. But she kind of understood, he was new to being a Genin. He's excited and doesn't want to be the weakest link.

But every shinobi can prove themselves one way or another, may it take longer for some though. Besides, at least a weak shinobi is stronger than a civilian. That's what matters the most eh?

"I don't know what else to bring up, just bolts, water, and a toolcase. But I'm sure he didn't bring us her just to bring small stuff in. What do you think he's up to eh?"

She shrugged. "What's the idea?"

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato was honestly scared by the way the girl talked to him. Heck, they didn’t even know each other and she was already bashing out like that.

“Fantastic”, he thought… “Miss hot headed and Captain Attitude Problem. What a great team I’ve got into…”

As long as he didn’t understand what she was talking about, after all, she was going to see if she needed help bringing something up, or if there was something he could do to make it all faster, he decided to put it all aside and just expose his plan.

“It’s quite simple, really… We could use my Wire Manipulation Jutsu, to tie up many things at once. It’s faster and more secure than just tying them in a usual way. So if each of us keep hold of an end of it, we can cut our job in half of the time or even less…”

“And it helps my training, as I’ll have to maintain both Kinobori and the Wire Manipulation Jutsu at once”.

“So, what do you say?”

[Ronin, Ryozo]

After Ryozo knew about when it slips and when the iron blend or breaks,
Hayato is such a loser... He probably underestimates his opponents always... he thought.

After a while the girl whose name was Horuko came to ask the both of them,

"Alright, I normally don't help people but I don't want to be slowed down, and I'm sure you don't either. But need help on anything?"

When Horuko asked this to the boys, Ryozo remained silent while Hayato the loser answered,

"Uhn... Hey. No, no... I’m cool, as a matter of fact; I was just going up to see if you needed any help. I’m bringing the workers some lunch. I was going to ask you what else I should take up..." Hayato paused then answered,

"Hey, listen. I have an idea… An idea of how to bring lots of things at once, so we can finish this and move on quickly… Let’s get down and I’ll show ya what I’m talking about…"

When Horuko answered she was extremely short-tempered, but Ryozo ignored what were they talking about. After a while, he could hear Hayato the loser saying about wire manipulation jutsu and Kinobori.

Ryozo just clearly ignored and concentrated his chakra on his feet, he then ran up to the iron pillar, when he took his first five steps, there were no problem, his three steps were getting harder, every moment of step was getting hard for him, Relax Ryozo... he thought and ran, their was no problem by then, he took another five steps, when he stopped he could balance, and also, he was getting used on standing on the pillars, and he knew he was sliding slowly, but by seconds it became faster, when he walked three steps, his last step wasn't good, it made the iron blend, so he jumped back to his position, he could see where the blended part of the iron is, Sorry Sensei... It's part of our training... he thought as he trained alot of it more.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto looked over to the other kid. It was obvious that he was listening in. "No need to play stupid, I know you can hear us," she called over. Kids these days... Damn. I just had to get stuck in a team with a bunch of kids.

She sighed. "Alright, you get it ready why I bring some more stuff up so time isn't wasted."

Though, what is the point of it? I doesn't mind bringing up stuff. If anything, we would need his jutsu for heavier things.

Once she grabbed more water and bolts from the shed, she walked up the large pillar once more. She brought the supplies to the workers on the sixth floor and sat next to them. She wanted to observe her teammates from up there.

[Guilherme Blues]

The team’s vibe was awful. Hayato caugh himself wondering if it was really a smart move to get back to Konoki and being part of that. In the Academy he did not have any trouble making friends, even in their classes. Sure, there were always assholes like Ronin, and freaks like Hokuto, but that was not all of them.

But maybe it was just a bad first impression, anyway… And it was already past noon, so they had about an hour or so before they had to stop for lunch. As such, Hayato decided that it’d be better to bring up a truckload of stuff, to save them time.

Jumping down from the construction to the floor he opened both his leg holsters. He was sure they needed those steel beams up there, and not just bolts and water. Otherwise, it would really make no sense having three ninja there to help out.

In each hand, Hayato held a long piece of wire. With his eyes closed, he started to make his Chakra flow through them. In no time, the wire started behaving as it was alive, rolling itself around one of those beams and fixing some tool boxes to it, in other to all be brought up at once. In total, there would be six tool boxes and one beam that they could take up in a single trip.

By making it two wires, Hayato could divide the total weight by four ends, which would make it easier to carry on each hand of his and Hokuto’s. His part was done and he smiled at his good idea.

“If we can take two of these up before lunch time, we can end this mission by four or five, giving the workers enough time to finish up and go home…”

And then he looked up to where the girl would be. Everything was ready and all it was missing was her to get back down. After all, he was not counting on Ronin at all.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"No need to play stupid, I know you can hear us," Horuko said, "Alright, you get it ready why I bring some more stuff up so time isn't wasted."
Stupid huh... he thought, "Me... Stupid huh... I think your a better sucker than Hayato..." he spoke calm at the outside, he wasn't really angry in the inside because of his calmness, he then grabbed bolts, tool cases and a water bottle, he performed a handseal concentrating the chakra to his feet, he then ran, he was a little surprised because he didn't slip, it was glued perfectly, he ran until he got to the sixth floor.

When he got to the sixth floor, there were many muscular men, Man... this is gonna be too easy... he then knew that most of them needed water, he gave the things he could carry to some of them first, he looked down at the ground, he was really high from the place he went, So, I've been actually running this long... he thought, he then focused his chakra to his feet, but he remembered that he wasn't good at it if he didn't use a handsign, so he performed a handsign and ran back down.

When he was at the ground floor, he didn't care about the thirst of the workers in the sixth floor anymore since he needed to practice using his Kinobori without handsigns, he then focused his chakra to his feet balanced, he ran to the wall, it was almost the same but instead, he was just slipping little by little, by seconds, the slip speed became faster, he then ran a little higher but the slipping speed increased, so he jumped off the iron pillar and gave a heavy sigh, after that, he repeated the training on using Kinobori without using handsigns.

He saw Hayato making the wire manipulation jutsu to get the bottles up to the workers, He doesn't know what his doing... Zack would probably scold him because our mission is just to use Kinobori... he thought, but he ignored Hayato and Horuko so he could concentrate on his training.

OOC: It's page 2 right? So I'm able to use the Kinobori without any problem if I use handsigns, but if I don't, I will, right?

[Jade-Star]

"Me... Stupid huh... I think your a better sucker than Hayato...

Hokuto glared at him. His words were worse than than Hayato's. She pulled out a kunai. The workers got a little scared when she did. See if I care.. She lunged the kunai towards the brat's head. It missed him by only a little by not even an inch. "Just to let you know, I missed purposely. Respect your elders brat," she called out.

That kid has nerve. It's kind of sad. He must only be ten or so. His parents sure didn't raise him right.. well, shit, neither did mine. Besides, I only told him to stop playin stupid, not that he was.

She wondered where Zack was during all of this. Hopefully one day the team can work together and get along.. or at least some what. If this continues happening, they'll never get through the Chuunin Exam.

[Guilherme Blues]

“Sucker? He’s calling ME a sucker? What is the goddamn bastard thinking?”

Hayato was close to having it. And then the girl started attacking Ronin. Well, he did deserve it, but come on! They were supposed to be a… oh, whatever. That was not going to work and he honestly couldn’t trust them or expect anything from them. The girl was just too full of herself and the boy was just an ass.

“Why me?” he asked himself, as he started making his way up to the first floor. Using his Wire Manipulation Jutsu, he could bring all of the wire along with him.

“Hey, guys! Mind giving me a hand over there?” he asked the workers, with a friendly smile. “I think these guys had it from those two. Better start some friendly co-working, if I am to turn all of this around by myself”.

The plan was simple. As he could not count on neither Hokuto nor Ronin, he would look for the workers help. And they wouldn’t be half as troublesome as those two; after all, Hayato was a kid doing his best to help, right?

“I need three volunteers to bring this up, and then I go to the next floor and we do it over… And over, and over again. I think that’s the only way to get this done by the end of the day. The other two kids can bring you lunch and water. So, what do you guys say?”

Gathering help shouldn’t be a problem. And as soon as he had it, he and the workers would start bringing the beam up. One floor at a time.


OOC: Afro-Sensei, you handle the NPC? Do I get the help and all?

[AfroNinja]

While the kids were doing their work, Zack was doing some work of his own. Slung over his shoulders was a very heavy metal beam. Something you wouldn't even see a strong man carry. It was purely due to his ninja skills that he was able to bring this huge of metal up. Zack was brining this to the seventh story floor. The metal was vital for the men to move to the eight story. Once Zack reached the top of the seventh story he placed the beam and held it in place while a worker throughly secured it. Once that was finish Zack dropped down to check up on his students.

"Aye! This is practice for your tree climbing technique, not for your wires. So stop using them." Zack went over to his backpack and took off his jounin vest and t-shirt, revealing a white tank top. The tank top revealed his tip top shape. He walked over to behind the supply shack, where the metal beams were. They were damn heavy. He would be surprised if all three of them could work together and bring one of these up. Hell, he'd be surprised if all three managed to lift it.

"Hey team 8, get your asses over here and help me out." He yelled at the team. "I want all three of you guys to pick up one of these beams and bring it up. Figure out what works best. I doubt any of you will be able to lift it by yourself."

Zack took one of the I-beams, slouched it over his shoulders and brought it up. He climbed until he reached the seventh floor and again repeated the process of securing the beam.

[Guilherme Blues]

"But Zack-Sensei, I AM using my tree climbing to get from floor to floor... Besides, I'm not strong enough to hold one of those like you..."

Also, working with those two would be no walk in the park, that's for sure. And he was the only one working, after all... What was the big deal in finding an alternative when his team mates couldn't care less? Especially when he was already delivering his first beam, with the help of the workers...

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo calmed himself in the inside and took a deep breathe, That Horuko girl should be thought how to control her temper... he thought as he focused his chakra in his feet, he then began to run on the iron pillar, I'll have to train without using the handseal... he thought as he took a his first step, it was perfect, but when he reached the first floor, he slip, he had to jump of course, so he did, he perfectly landed on the same spot.

He then heard Hayato's voice talking to himself,

"Why me?"

Ryozo replied in a calm croaked voice,

"Because you kept laughing at me... You kept laughing, I knew I shouldn't form a team... I should have rather worked alone since everybody laughs at me..., You know... I've never made any friends... Most of my clan members haven't made any friends..." with that he turned back and focused on what was he doing.

Ryozo than focused his chakra and ran to the iron pillar practicing the Kibnobori, he had some improvements because he was able to run until the second floor.

After a while, Zack called on team 8,

"Hey team 8, get your asses over here and help me out." the jounin stopped for a moment, then said,

"I want all three of you guys to pick up one of these beams and bring it up. Figure out what works best. I doubt any of you will be able to lift it by yourself."

Ryozo tried to carry one of it, but it was really heavy so he went back to the iron pillar and practiced his Kinobori.

[Jade-Star]

Zack had no brought the hard work to light. The students would have to carry beams up to the higher levels. Now they would have to work as a team. Unless... na, it wouldn't work. When will this ever work? She sighed.

"Hey team 8, get your asses over here and help me out." He yelled at the team. "I want all three of you guys to pick up one of these beams and bring it up. Figure out what works best. I doubt any of you will be able to lift it by yourself."

Yeah, Hokuto wouldn't be able to carry one by herself. SShe slid down the pillar and jumped off from about twenty feet off the grond and then walked over to Zack. "Any bright ideas?" she asked. She looked down at the beams and crouched down to get a good feel of them. Then she grabbed the edges and lifted it up to stand tall. Her strength was good, but not as good as Zack's.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato was looking down on his team mates, from very high above, in the seventh floor. While they had just realized what it was supposed to be done, he had finished bringing his first beam up.

He couldn’t help but feel let down by his Sensei, as he was the only one actually putting an effort.

“Well, nothing I can do about that, then… If that’s how it has to be, then be it!”

Hayato turned to the workers to thank them for the help. They worked well together and the beam was ready to be put in place. That made the boy quite happy, even with his team mates slacking off.

”Heh, I wonder how Horuko feels now that I was the first to actually DO something in the team… Who’s slowing who down, now?”

Hayato jumped off from the seventh floor, free falling near to one of those pillars, already focusing his chakra.

”Well, this is gonna be a nice test of skill… Let’s see if it works as I expect it to!”

When he was by the fourth floor, Hayato touched the pillar with both his feet, allowing himself to slide and slow down ‘till the second floor, where he stopped. And when he did, he had one big wide smile on his face. He had nailed it! He could spend a bit more time training to it would be more of an automatic thing with no concentration required, but so far, so good.

From there he got down and ran towards Hokuto.

“Care for an extra pair of hands, Hokuto-san?”

Without waiting for a reply he caught the other end of the beam, making an amazing effort to hold it like she was doing.

“Gah! Damn, this is too heavy! Why can’t we go along with MY plan? Shit…”

“Ready when you are, Hokuto-san. Let’s go full speed up to the seventh floor… Or we could go two floors each time. Takes a little longer, but won’t risk it falling… It’s your call.”

And by the time he was holding the beam, trying to help out, Ronin started “crying” about how he had no friends and nobody in his clan had any friends. This time Hayato got serious and didn’t even look at the boy.

“Maybe you don’t have any friends because you keep whining instead of putting an effort to help people out, huh? Did that ever cross your mind, you spoiled little brat?”

OOC: What a team! Heck, I'm really enjoying this. Will they all fight each other at some time? Will Horuko beat the boys senseless in her first chance? Is Zack just crazy? Stay tunned for more "Team 8 Adventures!".

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo looked at Horuko, she probably had the same strength as Ryozo,

"Hey... I'm sorry about before, I take back my word... I'm just not good on hanging out with people... That's why I was kind of rude on talking... Because when I was little, everyone laughs at me when ever I try making friends with them..." Ryozo said in a calm voice and turned away.

Ryozo focused on using his Kinobori, he was able to reach the fourth floor again, when he reached on the fifth floor, he started slipping so he jumped back to the ground, he looked at Hayato,

When Hayato grabbed the beam and looked at Ryozo, Hayato said,

"Maybe you don’t have any friends because you keep whining instead of putting an effort to help people out, huh? Did that ever cross your mind, you spoiled little brat?"

The words of Hayato made Ryozo angry, he calmed himself but he couldn't because he forgot about calming himself,

He then performed some quick handsigns, Sorry, I tried to explain it to you, you stupid brat... he thought as he yelled, "Pheonix Immortal Fire!!" He blew sixfireballs headed to Hayato, for sure, it would surprise Hayato because the fire would just vanish once it gets very near him.

OOC: He wasn't crying, he was calm...

[Guilherme Blues]

"What? Phoenix Imortal... CRAAP!?"

Hayato just heard the jutsu name. He would have enough time to jump sideways and try to avoid some of the technique, but he was holding the beam with Hokuto and by doing that, the attack could hit her.

He had no choice, but to take the full jutsu on his back. And, while being hit, he dropped the beam he was trying to hold, falling on the ground with serious injury all over his body, given his weak constitution.

"Shit... argh!"


OOC: Okay, now we have enemies in the same team! Cool!

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo calmed himself, he looked up, the sixfireballs were headed to Hayato,
Damn it... He made me angry, on rage, just like before... so What do I do? It's too late... he thought, though he wished it would have been a weak fireball since it would be better, Me... A spoiled brat huh... Who does he think he is?

"Swing the damn fireball with your beam!"

OOC:What the heck!! Why did Ryozo wanted to save Hayato? Did he wanted to show off only or he couldn't control himself and he forgot to calm himself earlier? What about their sensei Zack? Is he just standing their?! And Horuko, what would be her reaction? Stay tuned for the next episode of The ninja forum, Team 8 Adventures.

Lol, we look like sasuke and naruto...

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato had been caught off guard. More than that, wearing nothing to stop the fire, it came to result into six deep burning wounds all over his body. His breath was out of compass. All of his body was hurting. In part because of the training he just did and the effort of bringing that beam up with the workers... In part because of his old battle wound... but mostly, because of his new wounds.

"Argh.... Argh!", he moaned, as he tried to get up. "You stupid bastard...", he mumbled as he made an effort to get up. "You spoiled little brat... You asshole!" he shouted as he finally got up, turning around to look at Ronin. "Who the hell do you think you are!? Attacking me from the back while I'm trying to complete our mission!?"

Hayato had fire in his eyes at that time. He was very close to snap out, but was keeping himself in check. He couldn't just throw away all he had worked for because of Ronin. He would keep his temper in check. He had to... For the good of the mission, no matter if it was a D rank or a S rank, he just couldn't forget about it. Hayato had to make his way to the top, just like his parents...

"I'm gonna kill you, kid... You're as good as dead...", he mumbled, while staring at Ronin.



OOC: That's why I decided to use the wires and get help from the workers... Because there's no way in hell Hayato could lift those things.

[AfroNinja]

ooc: Keep it week and just delete your "ooc" posts so the thread is clean lol.

ic:

Zack had come back from placing the beam up on the floor. He reached the bottom to be questioned what to do by the girl. He would think for a second and give her an answer.

"Well ask one of your teammates to bring it up with you or I'll help you after I get on more up."

The girl had some strength in her, Zack was impressed. But she obviously could not lift up the beam by herself. In meantime Zack lifted one of the beams onto his shoulders and started to slowly walk towards the beams of the building to climb up. Hokuto came over to assist her but that was interrupted. Hokuto had apparently offended Ryozo. Oh bloody hell, Zack was stuck with a team that would never get along it seemed. Things only got worse from there. They were not attacking each other with semi-lethal jutsus. Zack wasn't at the beam yet so he dropped the beam he was holding and went over to the boys.

"HEY! What the hell is going on!" He said this in a serious-straight forward tone. He was not angry just surprised and a little shocked at the events. His tongue had seemed to switch easily between Konoi to common. "Everyone just take a damn second and hold up. No one freakin' move."

Zack went over to Ryozo and stood in front of him. The jounins face was out of the light and was mostly comprised of shadows giving him an extra serious and scary look. He placed his hands on the kids shoulder.

"Why the hell did you just do that?" he said looking at the boy.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"You didn't hear... Hayato... he offended me two times... first, by laughing at me after I had a fall, second, I tried to explain to him that I had no friends, he told me I was whining only, those words offended me, I didn't even had time to calm myself..." Ryozo said with his calm voice, he didn't care if Hayato would kill Ryozo, Sigh... Look what I've got myself into? he thought.

He walked towards Hayato and gave him a blood pill, "Eat it... You coward... I told you to swing it..." and with that, Ryozo walked away from Hayato and went back to Zack, "Could you help me carry one of those beams please?" he asked with a smile.

[Guilherme Blues]

Ronin had got to be crazy, to think things would just vanish like that! Hayato slapped the hand that offered him the blood pill, pointing his index finger to Ronin’s face.

“You stay the hell away from me, you brat! Who the hell do you think you are, to attack a comrade from the back!? You’re not even a man, you’re worse than shit!”

The boy felt like kicking Ryoto in the face, but held his grip. Haruko turned away and walked over another one of those beams, sitting beside it and taking a deep breath. His body was hurting like hell. Thinking about lifting such a heavy thing in that situation was downright crazy. Furthermore, all he really could think about was getting even with Ronin. The little brat wouldn’t get his forgiveness just that easy!

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"You stay the hell away from me, you brat! Who the hell do you think you are, to attack a comrade from the back!? You’re not even a man, you’re worse than shit!" Hayato slapped the bloodpill Ryozo gave him, but instead, this time, Ryozo had changed, he was more like two persons in one, the rage side, and the calm side, Ryozo took his bloodpill and spoke calmly,

"Then hit me... Make me suffer the way you did... Use your lightning power to strike me, to make me suffer..."

This words of Ryozo were strange, after he spoke, he smiled, but after a few seconds, around ten seconds, his smile changed to anger and sadness,

"I've suffered more than you did... That suffering I did to you... Was more painful to me, It was like a knife pierced in my heart... I tried being alone in the village when I was little, but everyone laughed at me because of my balance, I always tripped..." he stopped then force a smile, "You've got to try to understand what I said..." With that, he threw the bloodpill to Hayato, "Catch it and eat it and if you want more bloodpills, you can ask me, and if you want me to suffer the way I did to you, feel free to do it. Just think the bloodpills is for apologizing." With that, Ryozo forced a smile and went back to Zack.

OOC: Is Ryozo dumb? Has he gone crazy? Is he really two persons in one? Let's find out on the next episode of "Team 8 Adventures!"

Hehe that went well.

[Guilherme Blues]

"You know what? To hell with you. I don't give a shit about what you've been through or what you think is right. You attacked me from the back, you stupid brat and that ain't gonna slide that easy. So F- OFF!"

Hayato was close to his breaking point. Never somebody took him so far and Ryoto was making an especial effort in ending his pacience. And he was doing quite well at that.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"Do whatever you want, and I require you to eat that bloodpill, Or... The hurt will spread through your body..." Ryozo said in a calm voice as he grabbed one of his kunai and slashed his left arm, spilled with blood, Man... This is so gonna hurt... he thought as he opened his shirt and slashed his stomach, blood was spilling too, he slashed his right arm, and put back his kunai slowly so the pain won't hurt, "Happy now?" he asked trying to force a smile, Darn... I have no more way to carry at least one water bottle now... he thought, I'll never do this thing again... Man... Once I get home, I'll have to put alot of bandages... he thought as he faced Hayato, "I'm opened wide enough for you to strike..." he said, as blood spilled from his body.

OOC:

WHAT THE HECK?! IS RYOZO THAT CRAZY?! Why did he want to slash himself? Stay tuned for the next episode of "Team 8 Adventures"

Man... When are you gonna accept his apologize, its about time we had to do teamwork...

[Guilherme Blues]

"You're crazy AND disgusting, at the same time. I'm surprised you were even allowed to become a Ninja... Get the hell away from me!"

Hayato got up and walked away. The boy would soon pass out from the blood loss and be taken to medical care. Ryoto had been of no help at all! Didn't do anything besides complain, attack and now cut himself... Trying to force his way over Hayato, who just wouldn't take it.

"Grow up, brat!" he said, as he walked away from Ronin.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto was irritated. Yeah, people fight, but this kids are taking it a little too far. She sighed. "Alright, calm down! The both of you! Quit arguing so we can finish this mission," she yelled. Now she didn't even feel like fighting with them. It was just a waste of time.

She spat on the ground. "Which one of you are going to help me with this?" she asked calmly. Hopefully they would stop.

[AfroNinja]

Zack sighed, the team was pathetic and useless. He couldn't work with them unless something was done. Zack pondered for a few seconds and came to a simple conclusion.

"Alright I'm sick of this. I'm not training any of you until you actually become a team. No fighting, no bullshit, just be a real team. Get to know each other or whatever. So for now I'm leaving. Finish the mission or not, I don't care. Just contact me when you guys are actually a team...."

With that Zack left. Not caring anymore, he was sick of this nonsense.

ooc: Guil less of the f-word please.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ryozo knew it was all his fault, "It's all my fault... I'm sorry Hayato and Hokuto... I just wasn't myself..." With that Ryozo looked at Hokuto, "I'll help you with those, but for now... We can carry those if we do teamwork, I can barely carry those beams now, especially for Hayato..."

Ryozo said as he dipped in his pouch, a bloodpill, he ate it and after a few seconds, his wounds stopped dripping, "That'll do it!" he said as he forced a smile and looked at Hayato, "Hayato... Sorry about before so let's forget about the past okay? To tell the truth... I wasn't myself at that time... And... please eat the bloodpill I gave you... My wounds are also deep you know?"

Ryozo felt kind of dizzy or uncouncious, like he was going to pass out, but thanks to the bloodpill, the dizziness rate lowered.

He wiped all his blood with his shirt, and said, "So when do we start?"

OOC: About time they work out! What would be Hayato and Hokuto's decision? Find out on the next episode of, "Team 8 Adventures!"

Hey Blues, about time we did team work.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato sighed. That was getting out of proportion and they just lost their Sensei because of it. It wasn't his fault, after all he was the one who got attacked!

"Oh, well..."

Hayato walked over another one of those beams. He was not happy about that, but Hokuto was right. They had to complete the mission. Even though it was a bit strange seeing a girl spitting, that couldn't help but bring his mind back to the present.

"Let's work this out... I've got a plan to bring those things up, one at a time, but with less work..."

Once again, Hayato got his wires out of his holsters. He didn't have to talk to the other boy, nor did he want to. It would take still some time for him to just let it go... Arguing was one thing, attacking an ally out of the blue was something completely different.

"I'll tie one of these to my waist and walk up since I don't have particularly strong arms... You and Ryozo there, each grab one side of it... So we can divide the weight for three... I'm sure I can do it if I have to pull it while waking up."


OOC: Okay! Sorry 'bout that, Afro. It's just so usual around down here that I didn't even notice.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto sighed and thought for a moment. Wait a minute.. "Oi~ I think my Sen'eijashu may be powerful enough to hold on to the beam and push it up, but not all the way to the sixth floor," she explained. Her snakes have pushed up several things, but never something like this.

"If not, ehh, this is going to be some hard work."

[Guilherme Blues]

"We can give that a shot... And anyway, I don't think we can bring all the four beams that are left without cooperation... What we can do is go with my plan and use your skill to make my climbing easier... What do you say?"

Now they were talking. It took quite a bit to start having some team work at that, and still wasn't something like friendship. But, then again, they had just met each other. It was no surprise, whatsoever...

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto sighed. "Alright, I'll see if I can push one up to the third or fourth floor, so you won't have to use so much weight the whole way," she suggested. She then tipped her been so it could stand tall and balance on it's own. Make sure that thing doesn't fall.
The beam was too far from the building to bring it up there. She had to move it, but why bother carrying it? She breathed in deep and took her stance only a foot away from it.

She put all her weight onto her left foot, bent down, and turned fourty five degrees to her left. It was time to put the power into her foot. She moved her right leg back and bit and then rammed it into the beam. The beam flew back a good distance, leaving it only about ten feet away from the building.

"Now it's close enough for Sen'eijashu."

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"I'll tie one of these to my waist and walk up since I don't have particularly strong arms... You and Ryozo there, each grab one side of it... So we can divide the weight for three... I'm sure I can do it if I have to pull it while waking up."

Hayato said.

"Oi~ I think my Sen'eijashu may be powerful enough to hold on to the beam and push it up, but not all the way to the sixth floor,"

Hokuto explained.

"If not, ehh, this is going to be some hard work."

Then, Hayato said that it was atleast worth a try,

"We can give that a shot... And anyway, I don't think we can bring all the four beams that are left without cooperation... What we can do is go with my plan and use your skill to make my climbing easier... What do you say?"

Then Hokuto answered.

"Alright, I'll see if I can push one up to the third or fourth floor, so you won't have to use so much weight the whole way,"

She then tipped her been so it could stand tall and balance on it's own, the beam was too far from the building to bring it up there. She had to move it, but why bother carrying it? She breathed in deep and took her stance only a foot away from it.

She put all her weight onto her left foot, bent down, and turned fourty five degrees to her left. It was time to put the power into her foot. She moved her right leg back and bit and then rammed it into the beam. The beam flew back a good distance, leaving it only about ten feet away from the building.

She moved her right leg back and bit and then rammed it into the beam. The beam flew back a good distance, leaving it only about ten feet away from the building.

"Now it's close enough for Sen'eijashu."

Hokuto said.

And that was when Ryozo became curious, There's something fishy about Zack, why would he leave us, if the workers ARE making his building? he thought.

Ryozo then said,

"I think it's a bad idea, Don't you think it doesn't make any sense? Why would he leave us if the workers are busy making his building?"

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato spent some time gathering enough of his chakra one more time, to use both the Kinobori and the Wire Manipulation Jutsu. While he focused, he heard Ryozo’s complain and fear of being something wrong.

“Jeez, boy… Chill out. We’re INSIDE the village… It’s a class D mission, of bringing up metal beams… What could possibly be wrong? Zack Sensei just got mad at us, that’s all…”

In no time he was ready and took position in one of the pillars.

“Instead of worrying about every little thing, come on and give us a hand. As soon as the technique gives out, I need you to help me bring this up the rest of the way… The extra two floors… I’ll pull most of the weight, but you gotta help by pushing… Okay?”


And so he looked back at Hokuto and gave her a sign. It was show time!

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto sighed. "Wait! I think I got something," she cried out. She threw a few handseals. Sen'eijashu Just then, many snakes came out of her hand as she ran towards the beam. The snakes wrapped around the beam tightly and held it up.

She ran towards the pillar as the snakes bobbed up and down with the pillar tightly squeezed between. As she ran up, the snakes backed away from the wall to avoid hitting it. They would hiss and even one tried to snap at her.

Then she had made it up to the seventh floor and set it down. She released the jutsu. She started panting. A B-ranked jutsu will take a lot out of her. If she were to do it one last time, that would be it. She wouldn't have much chakra left to even do kinobori.

edit: let me know if that is godmod. i thought it would be alright since she couldn't do it again, hence the weaknesses in the last paragraph xD

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"Jeez, boy… Chill out. We’re INSIDE the village… It’s a class D mission, of bringing up metal beams… What could possibly be wrong? Zack Sensei just got mad at us, that’s all…"

Ryozo took a deep breathe, "Ok, Let's use your plan for the maintime." he said to Hayato,

"Wait, I think I got something!"

Hokuto said as she performed a few handseals, her snakes carried the beam until the seventh floor and panted.

Looks like We'll need to help her to get it there... Ryozo thought and then he looked at Hayato,

"We've got to help her before we get scold by her..." he stopped for a moment and pointed at the beam, "Let's carry this, I'll hold on this side and you hold at the other." he said as he one of the side of the beam, it was really heavy, I'll need his help... This is gonna be really hard if there are small stairs going to the seventh floor... he thought.

[Jade-Star]

ooc: I've been waiting for Guil... >____>

[Guilherme Blues]

Holding it at one side? That wouldn’t work for Hayato, especially because his upper body had no real strength. Nothing compared to what Zack and Hokuto had showed them so far.

“I think we better run with my plan if you don’t mind. See, I wouldn’t be able to lift that for long… But I’m damn sure I can drag it pretty darn far… And I’ve took one up already. With the ones Hokuto and Zack took, we only need to take three more and we’re done…”

It did sound a lot more exciting in his mind, he thought. Taking other three of those up would be terrible, fact. But there was nothing he could do about it…

So he started to put his plan into motion. With his Wire Manipulation Technique, he got the next beam tied to his waist and walked up to the pillar. Took a deep breath and looked back at Ronin.

“I’ll run up dragging the beam… You follow me pushing it. It should be easier for you and for me if we did that, so don’t stop until we reach the seventh floor, okay?”

Hayato used his Kinobori to get himself ready at the pillar, only waiting for Ronin to get himself ready.

“One… Two… Three… GO!” and so he started running, counting on the help of his team mate.

OOC: Sorry, guys... last week has been hell around here.

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"I’ll run up dragging the beam… You follow me pushing it. It should be easier for you and for me if we did that, so don’t stop until we reach the seventh floor, okay?" Hayato told Ryozo.

"Okay..." he said, then Hayato started counting,

“One… Two… Three… GO!”

Hayato started running, then, Ryozo headed for the beam and pushed it, the ground floor till the first floor wasn't that bad at all, the first to second was a little tiring, second to third was really tiring, third to fourth was hard but he didn't give up so he pushed harder this time, not feeling anything.

Man, pushing this beam is really hard... he thought as he took the last step to the seventh floor,

"Finally..." he shouted, he breathed so hard that he really need at least a cold water,

"I... did... it..." he said saying these words while breathing hardly.

[Jade-Star]

Two more beams left. She sighed. "Should I use my jutsu one last time while you guys get the last beam?"she asked her teammates. Things were going a lot better now. The mission was almost over. How would their new sensei Zack feel about this?

Hopefully the boys would agree to her suggestion. If she were to get it up like them, it would take a little bit longer.

ooc: writer's block...

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"Should I use my jutsu one last time while you guys get the last beam?"

Hokuto asked,

Ryozo answered breathing hardly,

"Yes... Th..the miss...ion is almost..........ov..er... Huuuuha"

Ryozo answered while breathing hardly, he then concentrated his chakra on his foot and slowly walked down from the seventh floor to the ground so he wouldn't feel tired, he then pushed the beam weakly near the first floor,

"Here... Here's the beam, I'll get the other ones while you use your snake jutsu..." he shouted loud so Hokuto would hear it.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto once again slid down the pillar. She ran over to the shed and balanced a beam to stand tall. Then she put all her weight onto her left foot, bent down, and turned forty five degrees to her left. It was time to put the power into her foot. She moved her right leg back and bit and then rammed it into the beam. The beam flew back a good distance, leaving it about fifteen feet away from the building.

She threw a few handseals. Sen'eijashu! Many snakes came out of her left arm and rushed towards the beam. As the snakes wrapped around the beam, Hokuto started to run. The snakes bobbed up and down with the pillar tightly squeezed between. As she ran up, the snakes backed away from the wall to avoid hitting it. They would hiss and a couple tried to snap at her.

Her last beam was finally up there. She was panting heavily now. That had taken a lot out of her. But at least the boys can get the last beam. Though they'll have to help her get down, she can't even perform Kinobori anymore.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato slid down right behind Hokuto and proceeded to get his equipment ready for the last trip up. Before he did it, though, he needed to take a breather. So he sat on the last beam, looking up and gathering his remaining strength. His team was starting to work along, but it wasn’t as good as he would have it. He didn’t like Ryozo the least and Hokuto kept on being a loner, even if she did her part.

He could sense terrible trouble ahead of them, but there was nothing to be done there and then. Plus, running with that thing tied to him was great leg strength training and also great for his very low stamina.

“Okay, last one going up…” he said to Ryozo while he took position once again. “I’m ready when you are…”

[Ronin, Ryozo]

The team was getting along, but Ryozo didn't want to help but do it himself, but he didn't show it because he wanted to make some friends,

“Okay, last one going up…” Hayato said to Ryozo while he took position once again. “I’m ready when you are…”

Ryozo looked back, So... His finish resting huh... Let's get to it... he thought,

"No problem, I'm ready." he said as he get the last beam and pushed it near Hayato, "Here's the beam..." he said with an overconfident look.

[Guilherme Blues]

“So... Three... Two... One... PUSH!” Hayato counted and shouted after getting himself tied to the beam and on his way up the construction site.

His muscles were burning and if felt like his thighs were being ripped apart. But it was only the third floor by then and he couldn’t just stop. And as he couldn’t stop, he would press forward with more energy and determination.

His lungs were burning. His will was fading as he approached the top floors. Hayato felt as his right foot slipped by the time he was reaching the seventh floor.

“No!” he shouted as he used his left leg to push himself over the border of the floor that was being constructed and taking what was left of his chakra to his hands in a attempt to hold himself in place.

“Come on, guys! Help bringing this thing up!” he shouted once again towards the workers that had helped him once before. It was the last beam, finally!

[Ronin, Ryozo]

“Come on, guys! Help bringing this thing up!”

Hayato shouted, Ryozo then reminded Hayato,

"The workers doesn't have any strength left... They needed water right? But look down, it's way far for us to just climb back down and climb back up..." he said, then, he had an idea, he knew it was crazy but it was only one way to find out, he then asked both of his teammates,

"Can metal things burn?" he asked.

[Jade-Star]

Hokuto groaned and smacked her forehead. "What kind of question is that? Metals are the best conductors of heat!" she exclaimed. What the hell is he gonna do?

"Do remember I'm out of chakra."

[Guilherme Blues]

While they were talking Hayato kept holding the beam. He was already on the seventh floor and all it was needed was to pull the damn thing up. He couldn't, of course, he was too tired. But why weren't Ryozo pushing it?

"What? Fire? Are you crazy? I'm tied to this thing! You'll melt the wire! JUST PUSH IT!"

[Ronin, Ryozo]

"Ah, okay, let's stick to your plan, I planned to use Grand Fireball Jutsu on the beam so it would be going up on the seventh floor in just no time." Ryozo said as he gave a heavy sigh, he then looked at Hayato,

"Calm down... You don't need to go high blood... Well, I'm ready to push it..."

he said as he pushed the metal beam, Ryozo only recovered half of his energy but it seems to be going down, he breathed hardly everytime he took steps.

After a few minutes, he looked up, it was the last floor to go on too, but he had no more energy and needed to rest, but he just pushed, he ignored that he overdid it.

[Guilherme Blues]

Hayato was pulling the beam up along with the workers while Ronin pushed it. Working together things would go just fine, so why was the other kid bothering thinking nonsense? If he used his fire technique, the beam would take too long to cool down to the point of being used. Not to mention the possibility of melting!

"Okay! Just a bit more... And there!" Hayato said as the beam was finally on the seventh floor. The workers were glad as well, because now they could finish their day of work.

"I think this gets things done... All the beams are up here, so we can rest a bit before going down, right?" he said while looking back on his team mates. At the same time, he made a mental note to himself according to the other genin skills. Hokuto was very strong. Ronin had a great problem in making strategies. She had that very useful snake jutsu and he had the fire skills that could come in handy, especially in dealing damage to enemies.

Well, he would have to start thinking already on which strategies would fit their team better. But at least he had the time to do it and so he showed off a smile.

"Somebody could get us some water, huh?"

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Finally for the team, the last beam was on the seventh floor,

"Somebody could get us some water, huh?"

Hayato asked, Ryozo knew he wasn't himself before so he did it,

"I'll do it..."

He said while breathing hard, when he walked, he could barely balance, Looks like I've passed my limit... he thought as he looked up, everything got blarg, his eyes were forcing to be closed, he didn't had the energy to walk anymore, in a second, he fall down on the stairs, rolling down, when he was near half to the sixth floor, the side hit his elbow, Ouch!, but while he got hit it threw him on the flat floor, Ryozo spat blood from his mouth then he became unconsious.

-------------------------------
In his unconcious dream:

Ugh... he thought as he got up, it was dark, he looked back, the construction site was finished, Did I sleep here about 2 days without... TrEaTmEnT?! he thought, he was feeling thirsty, so he went to the ground floor, At the water place, there was 2 people standing, one looked like Hayato and the other was Hokuto, both of them was standing there like a statue,

"Hey!" he called, but they didn't answered, so he went closer to them, it became dark as a cave the second he went closer,

There's something freaky about this... Is this gen...jutsu? No way! Our team didn't have any genjutsu users, perhaps it's just my imagination... he thought, as he ran to his teammates, "Hey guys..." he said, but instead of the team mates answering they smiled at Ryozo, Smiling? What are these guys up to?! he thought as he watched their movements, their kind smile turned out to become a disaster, it was an evil smile, Damn it! This isn't my team! he thought as he jumped back,

"So... We meet again huh? Ryozo...Ronin!"

The voices were coming from Hokuto and Hayato, but then, there was a dark energy on the middle of Hayato and Hokuto, then both of them moved to the dark energy and formed to one person, IT WAS RYOZO RONIN!

What the heck?! This guy... Is very familiar... When I was a student... he thought,

The dark energy disappeared, there was this FAKE Ryozo who had a dark bokken on his back, the Fake one was running towards Ryozo, then something worst happened to his mind, NO! NOT AGAIN!! he thought as his happy emotion changed to how he damaged Hayato, the fake one striked Ryozo on the head, but Ryozo dodged it like nothing, "What do you want you motherf-----" the real Ryozo said,

"To kill you and take your body HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" the fake one laughed loudly, but Ryozo just smiled, "Hmph..." he then performed handsigns, then said calmly, "Grand Fireball Jutsu......" He blew and a big fire came out of his mouth like a flame thrower and hit the fake Ryozo, when the fireball was gone, Ryozo heard an echo in his mind, "I'll be back...back...ba..ck...ba...ck...b...ac..k..."

OOC: My character will wake up when he is treated.

[Jade-Star]

As the boys brought up the last beam, she felt relieved. Though Ronin passed out right afterwards. She sighed. "He must have over done it." Oh well, at least the mission was done now. Though when should she leave?

Where is Zack?

[Guilherme Blues]

"Oh, just great!"

Hayato kept sitting where he was, for he was too tired to move. He sighed heavily as he expected the workers the help the other kid, which was something that he couldn't do himself.

"So... Now what? We gotta take the boy to the hospital... Or something..." he said to Hokuto. After all that time it was just now that he wondered where was their sensei.

[Jade-Star]

She glared down at Hayato. It was not her job to take care of him. He would have to take Ronin himself. She slid down the pillar and jumped off to the ground and waved back at Hayato. "It's your job now," she yelled back at him. I have better things to do.

With that, she left.

ooc: Sorry Guil, that's just the way she is. xD

[Guilherme Blues]

"What a mean chick..." Hayato sighed as she waved from the distance and moved away.

Heck. He was stuck with an unconscious trouble kid. With another deep breath he decided to just rest until the working day was over. After that, he could ask the help of some workers to take Ronin to the hospital or, at least, to gather back his own strenght to do it...


OOC: What a mean chick XD

[Ronin, Ryozo]

Ugh... Ryozo thought as he opened his eyes, he had many bruises, he looked at the floor, it had blood, Looks like I spat blood... he thought as he tried to sit down and turn, OUCH! he thought, his body wasn't ready enough to fight nor run, but he called,

"Hayato... Really... I'm sorry... but... Is the mission... ov..er?"

He asked, he then remembered about the world tournament he signed up, Wait a sec- Don't tell me the fighting started already?! he thought as he tried to stand, but his body was full of pain, Argh! Hey... At least I still have one more bloodpill... he thought as he used his left hand to get it from his pouch slowly since his body was injured so much, he then ate the bloodpill, he breathed heavily then tried to stand up but he was too injured that he lost balance and luckily ended on sitting on the stairs.

I need to go to the hospital... he thought.

After sitting, he was able to walk, I'll go to my house first... he thought, he then said to Hayato,

"Hey Hayato, I gotta go, just tell Zack if that we're finished with the mission."

He said as he started walking slowly, he recovered only a little but he went home.

-EXIT-
OOC:I gotta go to my fight xD
