The Silent Falls

[Firu Shinra]

In Otogakure, there is a calm set of waterfalls that is quite intriguing when you watch it. As you observe it and center ourself, you will notice that the water is not falling, but it is rising. This is the final revelation that those who meditate here will understand. Other than that, people can practice here, or fight. It is up to them.

Princess walked through the silent falls looking and listening to any clues that may point to where the cat had gone.She decided to start at the falls since that's her favorivte place in the village to come and relax at.It was alsways so peacful and she thought it would attract a pet the same way.Right when Princess was about to give up she heard a strange noise.As he headed to the sounds origin she started thinking the worse.As she peered over some rocks she noticed the cat.It fit the description that the Otokage gave her so she called the pet by her name and the cats head jerk back gazing at Princess before it took off running,with Princess following right behind him.1/5

Karuda walked into the area around the falls... This was were he was supposed to meditate right? According to lord otokage? He walked into the water and under the falls. Meditation would be nice after all that training he went through and that mock fight with the boy hakemoto, good his ******** face hurt.

He sat down and closed his eyes, it was rather relaxing, which Karuda actually found surprising. He was never really the one for this sort of thing but it felt good to relax once in a while. He closed his eyes and thought about things... and stuff... He wouldn't recommend it.
[1/10]

He yawned slightly, it was so relaxing he honestly found it hard not to go to sleep. He cracked his finger and neck, waking up slightly. He opened his eyes a looked around, it was really beautiful in here.
[2/10]

He felt calmer here then in... Ever. This was the calmest he'd really ever been. He took deep breaths while he thought about his past, alot of things he was asshamed off but many he felt pride for.
[3/10]

Like when he killed his parents as a gennin, such an adrenaline rush it gave him... They deserved it for being so weak and meaningless... Karuda had meaning, but what was it? He asked himself this daily...
[4/10]

Or a sample of his shame... When he tried to turn another leaf and be the nice guy, tried to deny who he really was. Or... Shane, Nasca... What did he need family for? What had family done for him except tear him apart, did Shane ever stop his parents doing what they did? No! Shane was stronger and yet Karuda had to kill them himself! WHY?
[5/10]

Karuda thought hard, shifting through memories, he thought of his misguided love for Shane and how it had dwindled over the years, about how Shane treated Nasca... NO! Shane should know! He should!
[6/10]

And Nasca... Better he get hurt by Karuda sooner then later, a loveless life is harsher then to have lost love... Karuda knew this first hand, he never really loved anyone... Things happened, sex for one but that didn't mean anything... Shane proved that himself...
[7/10]

Why.... Why did he keep measuring himself against Shane for everything? Why, when Shane took advantage of him when he was still only young, WHY! Then it hit him... Shane was the obsticle in his life he had to overcome... Thats all Shane could be, why he was so much stronger... It all made sense!
[8/10]

Nasca was an angel host... Maybe he should look into speaking with Nasca's beast... Yes that would be a good idea, maybe Bishamonten, the most powerful of the winged beasts would have some answers... Or more questions... But they would be necessary questions...
[9/10]

Karuda knew what he really had to do... His real path was now very clear as was his mind, allowing him better perception. He looked around the cavern and saw it's true beauty, the water of the 'falls'... They flowed upwards. He got up and quickly left.

~Morpiece the Snake~Normal Form~C-Ranked~

Skye was to meet the owner here but he was going to walk around with the cat first, they circled the 'falls' many times and realized that the falls rise instead of falling.2/3

Finally the owner came and picked up the cat and thanked Skye, now they were burdened with finding three more missions and fighting someone. The owner needed her weeds pulled, so Skye and Morpiece went along to their house to pull their weeds.3/3

((Got bored at this post and rushed it))

Morpiece The Snake~Normal Form~C-Ranked

 

Skye and Morpiece returned to the falls, something about it intrigued them. They liked the sounds of the falls and the cool mist it gives off, the two merely sat down and gazed at the falls, wondering the reason for the rising movement.[1/10]  

[Sadhandjob2o9]

~Skye Byanski~Animal Tamer~ Genin~Blood of Sasori Strikers~Speed Curse Mark~

Morpiece The Snake~Normal Form~C-Ranked

Morpiece was sleeping on a stone, Skye continued meditating, he focused on important details on his life. First of all he is an animal tamer, why did he become an animal tamer? Because of Morpiece's nature and being, but Skye had been open to another option, puppetry.[2/10]

His family had been well known for using puppetry, his parents taught him the basics, but he turned his back on the family talents. He knows that he became an animal tamer because of his fondness for Morpiece, but was it also to be different from his family?[3/10]

Skye knew that they haven't been in a real fight, but one was sure to come up, but an animal tamer's weakness is separation. Being separated can mean death for both of them. It was time for both of them to learn techniques that would help them if they ever got separated. [4/10]

It was time for Skye to tap into his puppetry skills and for Skye to learn more about Morpiece's skills. Skye thought about Morpiece's abilities, Morpiece is very flexible and is open to Fuuton and Snake Jutsu, Skye labeled mentally.[5/10]

Skye had always knew about Morpiece's king form but he wasn't ready to activate it's powers. If Skye wasn't strong enough to handle Morpiece's king form than it could mean instant death to both of them. Skye began to think about something else, another weakness[6/10]

Genjutsu, if always connected, both of them wouldn't fall subject to Genjutsu, but the users are smart and can probably use a few seconds to separate Skye and Morpiece, then either kill or capture them. At the time Skye couldn't think of any skills that could help break Genjutsu.[7/10]

Now Skye thought of his Bloodline abilities, he hasn't been tapping into it's powers lately, maybe it was time to create some new skills that include his bloodline. The bloodline can summon glass scorpions, create a protective shell, and manipulate parts of his body to create strong forces of poison. If he could combine this with his Sound Taijutsu the results could be very devastating for the opponent.[8/10]

Now there was something serious about Skye, his speed cursemark. The effects of it could happen anytime now that he was getting stronger, but he could also use the Curse to his aid, such as strengthening his speed and attack force. Maybe they would visit the library and study the Curse Marks.[9/10]

The peacefulness helped Skye learn his true potential and the special thing that are needed to be worked on, Skye examined the 'falls' once more, studying the uprise of the water. After deep observation Skye concluded that there was a large source of groundwater just underneath them, and something caused the airpressure to push the water up. Skye took Morpiece and thanked the falls, he left the cave, happy of the results[10/10]

Princess and Kiko peacefully arrived this time as Princess was starting to feel the strain of holding her genjutsu over the strong willed dog.The two admired the numerous waterfalls as they were truely a sight to be seen.After gazing at them for about five minutes the two proceeded on to the next part of the cave as Kiko was clearly loving his walk.His tounge sticking out flapping around as he walked.After a minute he found a nice spot to pee and Princess turned away letting him engage in some privacy.Once he finished He let out a soft bark and Princess smiled as she led him on through the cavern.2/3  

[Dark_Princess_of_Death 07]

Princess had lost a great amount of chakra at this point as Kiko was very hard to keep under contol.She looked around searching for the sign of anyone so they she could let Kiko go before she took him home. She slowly relased the genjutsu and the leash letting Kiko go free.She reached into her bag and pullout out container full of food for Kiko.She had promised the owner she would feed him before bringing him back.Once again she let out a loud whistle calling Kiko to his food. He rushed at her stopping right infront of his bowl as he devoured the meal in the container.Once he finished he sat down as Princess could clearly see that he was tired and ready to go home.Princess cleaned up after Kiko and put everything back in the bag as she started to walk back to the complex with Kiko calmly following behind her.3/3  

[Dark_Princess_of_Death 07]

Princess stopped and watched the fals for a few minutes upon her arrival.She felt that the falls beauty was breath taking something that should be upheld and maintained.Princess was interupted when she spotted some bottles floating in the water.She slowly located the trash that the Otokage was speaking of which completely counteracted the fall beauty.Princess pulled out a scroll and opened it causing a katana to appear.She took the katana in her right hand putting the scroll back into her hip ouch with her left hand.She walked over to the massive pile of garbage and started jabbing the katana through it one piece at a time.There were multiple bottles skewered on the katana along with milk cartons.1/3

Once the katana was covered in trash past its limit Princess pulled out a scroll throwing it on the ground where it rolled wide open.Princes pulled out a kunai and dragged it down the trash covered katana causing it to slide off onto the scroll.Princess took a deep breath as the trash vanished and the scroll emitted smoke from its center.Princess turned away back to the pile of trash as she went at it once again jabbing with the katana collecting as much trash as possible before turning back to the scroll.The scroll was a gift to her from one of her parents,astounding sealing ninja who died on a mission.2/3

Princess repeated the same steps as she caused the trash to vanish once more.Princess had now cleared about half the trash but she needed it all gone to report back to Lord Otokage.She took a deep breath as she pulled out 4 kunai and a net she had bought for the next time she had to catch a cat.She quickly attached the two throwing the net over the remaining pile of trash and pulling a wire that causing the net to close up trapping the trash in an easy manner.She hauled the net over to the scroll as it vanished in a big smoke leaving a faint smell behind that left as quick as it came.3/3

Princess looked around not spotting any more trash so she rolled up her scrollholding out out in front of her.She then wrapped some wire around her katana and swung it over her back as she walked away towards her sisters house.

▪Zeo Azieru▪

Zeramaru wandered into the waterfalls and since it was quite hidden he assumed this was the best place to start.

He slowly unrolled a scroll which had locks of fake hair and the mixture for Zeramaru's fake skin like rubber. Zeramaru was a cunning human puppet and removed his own eyes but kept the chakra string attached to the bas of his neck so he could see. Slowly he started to recreate his face, fixing the worn out skin.

He removed the black hair and replaced it with long silvery gray ones. As he inserted his head back on and the eyes back in it he pulled out a silver metallic mask and donned it over his head.


"Zeo Azieru... fitting." he mumbled to himself as he was to take a new name. He quickly moved to leave.

Walking into the area, Akui allowed himself to lower his guard completely and pay no attention to his surroundings. A good start for his training. Once he had reached a good spot near the water and the falls, Akui set his things down and stretched a bit. The day had only just begun and he knew what to start it off with. Relaxing in the water. With that a good 3 hours were spent wading in the cool water. Afterwards he dried off and began to meditate. Emotions...what am I supposed to do to control them? His focus was clear and nothing distracted him from his training. Sensei would be proud of him. When he stopped it was almost dark out. Building a small fire he cooked himself a small supper and went to sleep, ready for the next day.

The next day was all the same for Akui. He rose with the sun, practicing his stumbling and drunk stances. So far he had a good handle on it, yet to him it could be better. Once it became noon, Akui took a swim in the water again to wash the sweat the sun had caused off his body and to relax a bit more. Then came time for lunch, which consisted of a few berries he had found. A nap afterwards would have been nice but he had to meditate before he could sleep once more. "Think about motivation...what drives you." He mumbled. The meditation lasted a tad longer then the night before, but it didn't matter. He pondered his motivation as he drifted to sleep.

[ss3kid]

The next day was a tad less fun for Akui then the other two. Mostly because he couldn't find his motivation. So instead of swimming after practice, Akui thought about what his motivation was. It dawned upon him midday that his motivation was his clans reputation. He wanted to be a great ninja and bring a sense of pride to the bad rep his people got. With that in mind he went through what was left of the day exercising and practicing. He then began his routine of meditating until he was tired. This time he thought about his motivation and what the goal would be. Once finished he went to sleep.

[ss3kid]

The feeling of discovery was what woke Akui for the next day. In his sleep he had thought about what his goal was. It wasn't simply to improve his clans' honor, but it was to become strong like them and use it for the greater good. Something his clan had lost sight of in there barbaric nature. He spent most of the day exercising and keeping himself lean before starting to work on his stumbling. It had improved since then, but he would have to test it. The last meditation session he had was spent on thinking about everything he'd learned while out here. His last sleep here was well-earned.
