Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Runs in the clan?" Tsuki-sensei asked. "I remember when I was younger...I was on a team of genin with a female Asamoya. She had this obsession with lilies and manipulated the forces of nature in her genjutsus. What, do you guys see, are flaws in your genjutsu?"

"They can be reversed...they are very easy to dispell, being rather ametuer...genjutsus, overall, require an outstanding amount of chakra control like healing does. I suppose our whole team needs to have good chakra control." Kai pointed out.

"We can begin a tree climbing exercise later then, or perhaps tommorrow." Tsuki-sensei decided.

"Yeah...better chakra control will mean your genjutsus will be harder to dispell, you'll be able to dispell genjutsus more easily, not to mention you get to do all kinds of cool stuff like walk on water! Unless you have questions of want me to see something, we can begin tree climbing now." Tsuki-sensei said.

Taki and Mizu were still deep in conversation.

"Very well. Taki, Mizu, finish up your discussion and come here." Tsuki-sensei gestured to the surronding forest. "Each of you will climb a tree without using your hands. Though I won't tell you how, it involves chakra control."

Taki and Mizu glanced at each other and smiled. Both being healers, they had good chakra control, though Taki's was considerably better.

Kai smirked. He knew his team would have little trouble with this, being either healers or genjutsu specialists.

Taki walked easily around the trees, jumping from branch to branch and walking straight up or hanging upside down, often remarking how fun it was. Mizu could make it about half way before using a bit too much chakra and leaving a footprint to which she used to keep track of her records on her first try. Kai could go 3/4 of the way up before he, too left a footprint. Both began to steadily improve, going just a bit higher each time, before falling gracefully each time on their feet, using chakra to slow the fall.

((Oh...i forgot... gonk ...oops...this RP has been going on for way too long...well then Kai's climbing trees and Mizu and Taki are playing on water after having magically regained their tree-climbing abilities ))

"Tsuki-sensei, i think we have this down." Taki said. Mizu and Taki had remembered how to do the water-walking exercise, and Mizu was getting dizzy from flipping around, as was Taki.

"Ok, the climb up the tree again, this time with just one hand. That is typically more difficult that concentrating chakra on your feet." Tsuki-sensei explained, impressed.

Taki began to swing from branch to branch after her second try, and Mizu got a firm hold after her seventh try, and couldn't figure out swinging until her tenth, both improving slowly and falling frequently.

"You may want to try water first," Tsuki-sensei remarked. Kai was now walking on water, after finishing tree-climbing, slowly getting the hang of it, though falling in occasionally, Taki giggling each time.

"Sorry...you just look so funny wet!" Taki exclaimed.

"I...feel...like...a...monkey...!" Taki and Mizu said in unison. They giggled. The continued to swing around, once bumping into each other and falling into the river, Taki being caught by a now fluent Kai, blushing furiously, and Mizu landing atop the water with cat-like grace, befroe the both began again.

"My...arms...so....sore...." Mizu and Taki were laying side by side on the forest floor. Their chakra sources depleted at the same time, Mizu using more due to worse chakra control, Taki having less chakra to begin with.

Kai sat next to the lifeless-seeming bodies, stretching out his legs.

"Oh, right, you guys are wet," said Taki. She controlled the water, off of Sayuri and Kai and into an orb floating above her hands, leaving Kai and Sayuri dry. Seeing as water didn't need chakra to control for the Umi twins, she spent the next few minute playing with the orb, making water bluebells, different shapes and letters and such. Mizu spent that time meditating.
