 *~* Amara Kurosaki *~* "More..jutsus..right.." Amara slowly pushed herself up into a full standing position. "Alright..finally, a lightning jutsu..." 1/2 Amara had watched his seals for the lightning jutsu carefully. She thought back on them a moment and tried the jutsu once on her own. It didn't quite work out as expected. Sure, she got the strings, but they also gave her a nice zap that made her white hair stand up on end. Amara sighed and reached up to pat down her hair. She tried straighting it out, and it worked for the most part, but it was still a little frizzy. "Alright, once more." 2/2 She tried the jutsu once more. She preformed the seals to unleash the static strings technique and concentrated hard. This was one jutsu she wanted to make sure she did perfectly. Amara released her chakra and as she looked up, she began to see strings all over the area. She smiled to herself as she looked at them. "Excellent! This is just fabulous! Thank you Areku! Now to tackle the other one." ((Edit: Night Shima!))

*~* Amara Kurosaki *~* 1/2 Amara took a deep breath and tried the fourth grass technique that Areku had shown Amara and Shima. She slaped her hands together and preformed the seals. Unfortunatly, her tree sprouted up, then became as brittle as a dried out stick. It ended up snapping in half at the base and falling to the ground beside her. Amara blinked and looked to it. "Well...that wasn't supposed to happen. But atleast it didn't crush anyone." 2/2 Amara looked at the dead thing she had made sprout up. She knew she would get it this time. She preformed the hand signs again and decided to take it slow this time. A small sprout came out of the ground and began squirming it's way up. The sprout became a bud which turned into a lovely lily before her very eyes. With a smile, Amara knelt down and looked at the flower before releasing the chakra. "Great! I'll have to work on larger things. Obviously you can't jump straight into it."

 Areku smiled nodding his head,"Yup that's true well good job!" Areku said as he stretch,"So you want to rest or continue?" Areku asked putting his hands on the back of his head.

*~* Amara Kurosaki *~* Amara smiled at Areku and turned to look at Shima. "Perhaps we should rest for a little bit. Besides, I did say I had to treat you to some ramen now didn't I?" She smiled to Areku. "We could go grab something to eat right now if you are feeling up to it."

Areku smiled,"Well sure why not, though you don't have to treat me though I should treat you that is the right thing to do I think." Areku said he started walking to the ramen shop then turn to her,"Well yup I'm up for it so let's go." Areku said.

*~* Amara Kurosaki *~* "Well, we could always treat eachother. That way neither one of us will feel bad." Amara smiled down to Areku and headed off to the ramen shop with him. She needed a break after all the push ups and the running anyway. She was a tough girl, but she still wasn't as strong as the boys.

Yukio Musou
The Trustworthy Thief 
Yukio stopped running after making his clothes. He couldn't feel Shiro's presence. Maybe he wasn't chasing him after all? "Hmm, he must be the patient type. It's rare to see that in a boy his age." He looked back at the and saw the group and knew that Areku was going to be showing them some new jutsu. He dared to secretly steal the lessons. Areku had said that he would've trained him, after all. However, he knew that if he exposed himself there wouldn't be any peace. He'd have to go about this the way he was most accustomed. Alone. From his hiding place in the trees he strained to keep himself out of sight but within range to see and hear Areku's lessons. It would probably be too dangerous to learn the jutsu right there though. It would make too much noise. He would try them out later, and record Areku's teachings secretly in the mean time. Yukio went up to a tree and easily turned one of its hulking branches into a thick notebook. He didn't have a pen or pencil though. A thought came to his mind, and Yukio concentrated on the paper and actually crinkled it to make neat, small, orderly words, though they were a bit tough to read. Ready to begin recording, of course Areku had to make it tougher.
His first request of training was to give the others fifty pound vests. Yukio sighed quietly. He couldn't make any exceptions for himself. He threw out his arm and the paper on his sleeve flew off and carved a vest close to the same weight out a tree trunk. Yukio put it over himself and concentrated on recording once again. He easily recorded the first three jutsus, being sure to capture every mistake and success the others made so that he could duplicate the steps and overcome them later. He was especially amazed at the grass manipulation technique. It didn't seem like much to most people, but Yukio knew he could make good use of it. Next Areku ordered them to do pushups. Yukio almost groaned, but remembered to hold it back. He did the pushups, relunctantly. In a way, his training was becoming even more difficult than the others. Yukio had to thin out his chakra to the point where he could create words on a sheet of paper, and more than that, he had to do the one hundred and fifty pushups with the fifty pound vest on in complete silence. Amara would probably never realize it, but Yukio was made to be a ninja. He would have to wait for the running part though, since he couldn't risk giving away his position.
Afterwards, he wiped the sweat away and copied down the seed jutsu. Finally he saw the chance he'd been waiting for. The others were leaving for ramen! Yukio softly put his hands together and thought, "Thank you, Ramen God!" Now he would have the chance to learn the jutsu Areku had shown the others.

Once the others were gone Yukio read what he had copied for the first technique, the grass clone jutsu. He decided to start with that one.
[1/2] He made the required handseals quickly and concentrated on the grass below him. Unfortunately the clone that resulted looked more like a scare-crow made out of green grass than Yukio. He would have to try again.
[2/2] Yukio focused harder on the shape of the clone, as well as his own looks. He remembered his training back at the academy with the illusionary clone and concentrated on the speed and mind set he had with it during his chase at the hospital. He formed the handseals and two grass clones appeared beside him. ".......What's up?" they all said to each other in unison.

Yukio decided to learn the grass bed skill next, and had the notes float in front of his face for him to read while he concentrated on learning. It was meant to be his own style of self training. One of the major flaws he found in himself during his fight with Lenon was that he couldn't manipulate paper and perform jutsus at the same time. He would have to learn how to multi-task his abilities if he was ever going to be a strong ninja.
[1/2] Sending out his chakra to the grass around was an easy task for him. He had to send out his chakra all the time to control paper. He was just changing the substance now. However, the first time he tried to throw a rock on the grass around him it barely slid two feet. His jutsu was working, sure, but not nearly as well as it should be. Additional practice was needed.
[2/2] Yukio concentrated again, remembering the struggles Amara and Shimihamaru had gone through with this jutsu. He read over the notes again and learned that he was just sending out his chakra through the air, and not the ground, where the grass was. Once he figured out his mistake it was simple for Yukio to fix it, and the next rock he threw stopped dead on the grass. Upon closer inspection, it was stuck to on the tips of the grass.

Next came the jutsu Yukio was looking forward to the most, the seed growth jutsu. He immediatly had his notes turn to its respectable pages and read through the detailed notes to make sure he understood everything before beginning to learn the jutsu.
[1/2] Yukio first concentrated on his own chakra. He sat down and meditated on it, taking long, deep breathes. To first master this jutsu, he needed to understand the energies of life. It existed in his own chakra. He just needed to convert it. Yukio's body suddenly seemed to glow with vasts amount of chakra, and as he exhaled deeply all of the blades of grass around him grew a few inches. He had completed the conversion process, next came the fun stuff.
[2/2] Yukio sent his chakra into a blade of grass at his feet. He concentrated on it and then turned the chakra into the energy of life. The piece of grass shot up into the sky, turning into a vast tree, and taking Yukio along for the ride. Standing at the top and overlooking the beautiful spring and forestry around, Yukio had understood what it meant to have sway over nature.

The last thing Yukio needed to do to be on par with the others was also the thing he was least looking forward to, running. Never the less, he took off on a sprint around the spring. By now the fifty pound vest was starting to wear on his physical strength, and his chakra felt depleted after learning the jutsu training. Still, he fought against it the urge to stop and successfully completed his run, throwing off the heavy wooden vest and collapsing on the last step. Yukio gasped for breath and squeezed the grass on the ground. What would he do? What would it take for him to become the shinobi he'd always dreamed of, and would the experience be good enough to inspire him to write the greatest novel? Yukio felt a sting of doubt and weakness as he buried his face in the ground.

Yukio Mousu
The Trustworthy Thief
After some time Yukio rolled over and looked up into the sky. Something didn't feel right. ".........I forgot one of the jutsu." He suddenly said to himself in realization. How could he have forgotten about the grass manipulation jutsu! It had been the one jutsu he knew that would probably be the most useful! He reached out and his notes flew from the forest straight into his hand. He had it float in front of his face once again and started his practice.
[1/2] "Alright. Let's make the magic happen." Yukio said as he sent out his chakra to the grass around him. Hundreds of blades uprooted themselves and swirled around him. That part was easy enough, but then Yukio tried to make them connect to each other and form a solid object, but the grass just wouldn't form together.
[2/2] Yukio tried again, this time focusing on the object he had in mind. It worked. The blades of grass connected themselves according to Yukio's mental image and formed into a life-sized grass statue of Amara, as strong as wood. Yukio grinned and patted its head before walking away to the village.

Daron walks up to Yukio. "Your a sly one aren't you?" Daron asked as he cam to stand beside him. "Now that you know some new jutso, want to spar?" Daron's face remains emotionless, but his crimson eyes almost seem to be looking into Yukio's soul.
