Kazuna

"Suika." Kazuna hissed out loud. There was no point in trying to hide her presence, she was here, and Shinjiro would know. Kazuna bitterly tried to peer through the night but it me was futile. "Suika, show your self. Lend me your help."

Suika stepped out of the shadows, expressionless. She looked tired, yet truly she always usually did. "And why would I do that?"

"Because I need you help. You have a way with the shadows, help me melt them away." Kazuna more over demanded, barely giving Suika a choice in the matter. Suika was the the kind of girl who would turn down an order, she would not object, and it would be easier to get her on Kazuna's side ordering, rather than asking.

"And why would I do that?" She asked solemnly. "I like the shadows."

"But it seems, if you do not help, I will lose to that creeper who is somewhere out in the shadows, probably preparing for some fancy showcase of his moves. If you help. we will both get the credit for beating Shinjiro in his element. Wouldn't that be nice?" Kazuna said with a small smile, taking out shuriken from her pocket.

"He is in the shadows." Suika looked into them patiently.

"Tell me where he is!"

"He is behind us, standing by the large oak tree about 150 yards off."

"I got you now!" Kazuna yelled into the shadows letting the shuriken find their way into the dark.

"Wow. Well I have always wanted dinosaur," I told Itachi, and I helped him back with the beast.

After some frying I took a bite, before anyone else just encase.

"It tastes like chicken," I said with a frown, "I hate chicken."

"Well I love it," Akira said and dug into the beast.

I slowly nibbled the beast and after a bit got and idea. putting my hand on my large steak piece I charged it with a million volts and took a bite. The beast now tasted like medium rare steak,, which I loved. I then was piling it in faster the Akira, the shocks in my mouth just made it better.

"I sure do love, electrified meat," I said picking my teeth with a tooth pick.

Shinjiro

The shuriken came spinning seemingly out of nowhere, and Shinjiro let out a shout of surprise as he dived into the shadows, narrowly avoiding serious damage. His shift was all cut up now, and blood dribbled from several cuts. Suika's helping her. He thought. Have to keep moving.

"There." Suika's voice said, and he picked up her pointing to him again. More shuriken flashed, but this time he was ready, shadow jumping again.

Damnit! He thought, I'm running out of chakra fast! He dodged another barrage of shuriken, and this time appeared directly in front of his team mates, half-spears swinging at them. He would use the bladed edges of their long tips like swords, and, if that didn't work, he could bring the spiked chain connecting them into play as well. He effectively had three weapons shared between two hands, and could even switch to a one handed hold on the spears and chain if he needed to resort to shuriken or kunai use.

Kazuna

He appeared as if from nowhere, brandishing his favourite weapon. The glint of the metal shown in the moonlight ever so slightly, but Kazuna didn't dwell on it. She sent a burst of flame towards him and wheeled to the side aiming to kick his side. She did not connect. She flipped back up normally and send another barrage of fire towards him.

Kicking herself into the air, she sent shuriken which he struck away with ease, using the bizarre spear weapon. She saw a confident smile graze his face and turned backwards, landing on her hands and gently springing her self to her feet, turning into a defensive position.

She had not laid a hit on him.

Shinjiro

He appeared behind her, panting a little from how much chakra he'd been forced to use. But he'd won, she hadn't managed a single hit, and now he was in an obviously dominant position. He pressed the edge of his spears lightly against the back of her neck. He could hardly see from the amount of light that had passed inches away from his face, but he could make her out through the whiteness afflicting his vision.

"That's it." He said tonelessly, "You lose, Kazuna."

The points of a pair of kunai pressed into his back and against the back of his neck. "She might not have won, Shinjiro," Suika said, "But neither did you. You forgot to take into account that you were fighting two opponents, not just one. Koka-Sensei wouldn't be happy with that."

Shinjiro cursed silently. Suika had probably been hiding in the very shadow he'd jumped through to put an end to the fight, and he'd ran straight past her without even noticing. "What does it matter." He said, "It's not like I'll be fighting you next week, and whoever I'm up against will have no clue of how to fight me."

Kazuna

"That is what I am hoping for. My ability is not expected coming from the Shade. But I guess every village must have a torch bearer." Kazuna couldn't feeling contempt for Shinjiro. He was so confident in his abilities that he did not think about if he was placed against a person who played with light. He would have no shadows then. Not even ones he could make himself.

"Our village would be better off without someone like you. That is why your family doesn't even live in the village. Nobody wants you there." Shinjiro hissed.

"Not necessarily." Suika added but when both of them looked at her expectantly, it became clear that she would not justify that answer.

"I believe Koka-sensei, is not going to show up." Kazuna swore looking around her in the dark.

Shinjiro

Shinjiro sat down on one side of the clearing, jamming his spears point-first into the ground before him. "Maybe someone should inform Koka-sensei that we prefer to train at night."

"Why?" Suika asked, "It's not like we're going to be doing the exam at night."

"You don't know that." Shinjiro replied, "I've heard the second test is an endurance thing. So that could mean night time as well."


**Maybe we should skip ahead to the exams, try to get the others posting again?**

*yeah, I agree. Oh. Im going on spring break tomorow, so my ability to post will be limited. I give any one of you the ability to write for Itachi as long as you keep him in character, or you can just carry him around. Ill try to post as much as possible. I think you should skip to the introductory meeting where they tell you what to expect before you start the written test.*

I'm going to bring in a rival for Cole here.

Cole~~

The rest of the journey was uneventful. Me, Itachi and Violet parted with Akira when we got to the testing center. After that we climbed in silence to it, and there we passed a group of kids around our age trying to get into a room.

"C'mon let us in," Whinnied one boy as he tried to push past two kids guarding a door.

"Not unless you get the password," Said one of the kids blocking the door.

"Then give us a hint," whinnied another kid.

"No," Said both the blockers.

"Whats the problem here," I finally asked.

"These two won't let us into the testing room," Someone answered.

"Well how can they. The stairs are over there, and this room is a floor below the testing area. The jokers over here tricked you," I told them, and my teammates nodded in agreement.

"Oh" chorused through everyone around the other kids.

Then one of them stepped forward from the crowd.

"I am David Hero. Ninja of the waves," He said and held out his hand.

"Cole, ninja of the sky," I said shock it then walked by.

But before I got to far, he pulled me back and threw me into a class room. HE quickly shut the door and tensed to attack.

Unsheathing my swords I jumped up, hit him with the blunts of them then jumped back. He quickly got up, made a few signs, then sent a gusher of water at me. Taking advantage of this, I aimed my swords at it, and shot a stream of lightning at him, it traveled through the water, and hit him with increased power. The attack ended, and he fell.

Not even waiting I walked out, joined thew other two like nothing had happened and we climbed the stairs to the testing room.

I LOVE NARUTO!!

I would like to join, but which village should I be part of? And are all the characters supposed to be going to the trials right now?

Kazuna

She slipped in the shadows as she watched a boy get pushed into the class room. He grinning menacingly. The other, much taller and bigger sent a wave of water, but was quickly distilled by the electric attack that came from the other one. The attacker fell to the ground unconcious and the other just walked blatantly around him and threw the doorway.

Kazuna stepped forward and placed her two fingers on the other throat to check for a pulse. As soon as she recieved one, she gently sent a shock of fire through him hoping to revitalize him from the blacked out state.

Sure enough the boy straightened up and scratched the back of his head.

"Are you alright?" Kazuna asked, identifying him from the Waves by his symbol. She straightened up and took a step backwards.

"I think so..." His voice was confused. A minor concusion.

"Get going with your cronies. We don't want anymore injuries before the exams now do we." Kazuna said kindly, yet her words seemed harsh. "I am going to be on my way." And with that she slipped out of the doorway and followed in pursuit of the other fellow. She saw him with two others most likely his group.

Catching up to them, she poked the boy on the shoulder and he turned around with a angle of surprise. Kazuna crossed her arms. She would not permit any fighting before hand because if a person died before the exams, then obviosuly, the Shade would be at blame, and that wouldn't be so good now would it.

"I would just like to remind you to refrain from any fighting before and after the exams. I know how eager you are to be put in your place, but it seems you just have to wait." Her voice was sharp, and she felt the fire in her wishing to get loose and burn his scalp off.

Cole~~

"Well what was I supposed to do, get injured. Then I wouldn't be able to compete anyway. And besides I made sure to make it so he would still get back up after a short bit of unconsciousness. He'll be fine," I told the serious looking girl.

She still wasn't satisfied, so I thought I would go with it.

"But I am very sorry for breaking the precious rules. It will never happen again, and thanking you for taking the time to point this out to me, I am forever in your debt," I said making sure it dripped with sarcasm.

She got very mad at this, and seemed to get ready to strike but I cut in quickly.

"Oh now, now you don;t want to be a hypocrite do you?"

Then she got a confused look at the word hypocrite.

Kazuna

Hypocrite? He would call her a hypocrite? Foolish boy. He did not understand. She would not break their own rules. That wasn't her kind of way of doing things. More preferably, she would wait for a proper chance and kill him then. That would work out perfectly fine. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at his smug face.

"I was just about to tell you that if I had not helped that man back up, he would not be standing here today. You miscalculated your electric current. You revolted his heart into an irregular heartbeat. He could have died if I had not intervened." She said, trying to keep from bursting out at him yelling. She would keep it civil. If she lost her temper now, she would never hear the end of it from Shinjiro.

"Oh really well unlike you I am an expert on electrical currents, and I can have them held back. And I had a charge saved to go off after two minutes, that would send him back to normal, before he died. You probably just killed him by doing that," I said then pushed by back to the scene.

I found the boy. just like I thought, on the floor spasming, no one knowing what to do. Quickly I did a quick charge, absorb, charge absorb, repetition and then his eyes opened and he was panting.

"There all better, though you never would have needed that if you hadn't tried to be saved," I told him, then nodded my head in the girl's direction.

Getting up I told a few instructions to his teammates encase the spasms came back, because they might have because of the failed revival. Then I returned to the girl.

"Now if you would excuse me, I have to go to the testing areas. And if I get in an accident, please don;t save me," I told her quickly and pushed past her and up the stairs.

YAY i LOVE Naruto!

Name: Korah Kisuke

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Okay since I don’t think there is another group open I will just stick him with a group, and create 2 NPC’s if that is cool. He is from The Land of Mist

Personality: Korah is a very light hearted and kind person who is always williing and eager to make a new friend. There is contasntly a smile and a laugh of his face, and his compassionate heart is more then obvious. he does have a very serious side however, especially when it comes to protecting those he loves or cares about.

Appearance: http://momo.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-Kakashi-14776781 - he is NOT kakashi just to make that clear, and both of his eyes are a light red. I actually think this picture looks more like Sasori with white hair... just me maybe...

Gift: Bloodline: Ice Release - Like Haku’s. Haku’s bloodline allowed him to manipulate water and wind to make ice, and it is the same with Korah. He is highly skilled in water and wind techniques, including ice ones as well.
Pure Gift: Korah is also an exteremly skilled Ninjutsu or Pure gift user, the best in his class. He can use many ater/wind techniques, one of his favorite being water clones. But he is also good at using Ninjutsu in general!
Physical Gift: Korah is only skilled in a certain aspect of this gift, and that is with his sword. He is an extremely talented and gifted sword user, and with his sword in hand is nearly invincible. However is he looses his sword, or was forced to fight hand to hand he would loose. He is also very fast and nimble, but without his sword... he sucks.
Mental Gift: No real skill really, he can dispel some basic Genjutsu but overall nothing worth talking about

Likes:he loves making friends, walking in the ran, sleeping in, training, and just fooling around

Dislikes: He hates those who are needlessly violent, vindictive and cruel. He understands needing to be tough in order to get a mission done, but he hates those who cross the line. He hates tofu and ramen, and would much rather have some sushi. He also has a slight fear of rabits, not sure what that’s about though...

Strengths: Highly skilled Pure Gift (Ninjutsu), skilled with his sword, and is fast and very acrobatic. He is quick witted and can easily size up a situation to figure out what is going on and what needs to be done. Is not afraid to be the leader but won’t push for it. He also has a LARGE amount of Chakra.

Weaknesses: If he looses his sword he can’t do much in the physical side, and he isn’t great at anything involving the Mental Gift. He has a weakness for his friends, and will protect them with his life, and he can also be to trusting of people sometimes. He is usually rational, but if someone he cares about is hurt he can tend to be VERY irrational, sometimes to a dangerous point as he stops carrying about himself and just throws himself into the battle madly.

Other: He is next in line to be one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. A group of elite sword users. His father was the Seventh Lord and was killed a few months ago, and so it is Korah’s rightful place to take his fathers spot. The other swordsman refuse to recognize him as the heir until he completes the Ninja Exam, which is one of the main reasons why he is here. He has his fathers sword, which is called Benihime. His sword has a unique ability, that when it cuts someone it forms a chakra (Gift) string connecting the person and the sword and the persons chakra is slowly drained into the sword. After the sword has consumed so much chakra it can release it as a powerful energy attack, or it can use it to create a shield for protection. The sword does not drain the chakra very fast, and because of that the person who is being drained usually doesn’t notice. The chakra string is invisible to the eye, but can be seen by certain bloodlines, especially eye types that allow the user to see Chakra.
