Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mara sighed a disappointed sigh and followed Shin."Told you," she muttered under her breath.

Getsuei walked up the old worn out pathway up the mountain His mind was racing about the new things he has seen in the last couple of days. Getsuei picks up his pace as he clears a short distance in the trail. With his new increase in speed and his mind on other things, Getsuei almost runs into Shin and company as he is running towards the top. "Whoa, sorry bout that." Getsuei says as he comes to a swift halt. He then moves his chakra into his feet and jumps onto the cliff side and begins to climb up the cliff wall. Getsuei reachs the top of the cliff and enters the temple grounds. "Hello?" Getsuei yelled. When no one answered, Getsuei walked in a little bit and turned around. He then sat down and crossed his legs, begining to meditate.

Tougura cleared his way through the trees and barely stifled a yawn before he saw Masamune standing at the shrine.

"Masa-sama...shouldn't you still be in bed or something?" his eyes could help but drift to the prosthetics that were attached to Masamune's limbs. How he got them on without a doctor...the thought made even him grimace.

Getsuei stands from his medative postition and bows to his two guest. "I thank you both for coming and I apoligize for having to meet in such a out of the way place. My name is Getsuei Musha. I have called each of you here for a different reason." Getusei says as he bows his head towards Syaoran. "I am only requesting, and in no way ordering this, but I need help. Syaoran, you are head of our family and you have a great influence around the villiage. Tougura, you are one of the masters of our bloodline trait and master of wind type jutsus." Getsuei smiled. "I would like Tougura to be my sensei, and I would like to be your friends."

Syaoran started to protest, but Tougura was already gone. he held his frustration in check and turned to his would be student.
"I know next to nothing about wind jutsu, but I am widely regarded as the strongest of the Ichijin in terms of the bloodline ability. I suppose I can teach you what you need to know, but be warned, learning to properly use the trait isn't going to happen overnight. You face a path of hard work and possible injury. If you're still willing, I'll teach you." He said.
He regarded the genin, waiting for him to make up his mind, and took a drag off a flask full of a medicinal tea he'd concocted to help his body heal. The real reason he'd come here, and had agreed to take on the task of training students again, was more to push himself and get stronger. He figured if he could go back to work while his wounds were still painfully fresh, he could handle just about anything. It was a big gamble he was playing, with his long term health at stake, but he felt the rewards worth the risk.

"To see which direction we should go with your training, we must first determine where you are with your abilities." he said. It made perfect sense of course, you wouldn't be putting a novice in any dangerous situations, and you wouldn't try and teach an adept the basics.
"So. Show me what you can do already. Can you even use the air movement ability yet?" he asked. He took another swig of his medicine and put it away. He focused his one eye on the student and watched closely to see what he had learned on his own.

"Hm.. You seem to be having trouble holding your weight up. Tell me, you've already learned to walk on water and inverted surfaces, correct?" he asked. "If you have, the principle for the Ichijin ability is much like it, but more difficult. I'd suggest to you that you combine weight training with the water and tree walking exercises, this will force you to adapt to the greater chakra requirements needed to stay afloat in water and in turn, in the air." he reccomended.
