Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evan surfaces from the ground looking around the deserted grounds. It still reaked of death. Evan stands still for a moment longer and proceeds to walk foreward, towards the center of the clan.

The Umera Clan, they had the ability to use the ground around them as they wanted for their bloodline was geokinesis and once one of the elite clans in Iwagakure or the Village hidden in the Rock, but is now nothing then a memory trying to be shunned away. The Umera Clan were the villages elite group of assassins and they enjoyed what they did, at least until Spike Umera became the leader of the clan. Spike was a anomaly in the Clan, he cared about life, and wished to perserve it rather that destroy it. He was held with high disgrace. He and his wife, Sasha Umera, had their first son, Mathius Umera, which to their liking kept to their ways in the early years of his life. Spike Umera managed to get the clan on his side once their second son, myself, Evan Umera, was born, unfortunately, my mother Shasha Umera died during the child birth.

Evan stops infront of an big, old, burnt down home and slowly begins to walk around the building.

I was born the way the old Umera's liked, cold, ruthless, a natural for geokinesis. During most of my childhood I spent most of my time with my teachers, only so I could learn as much as possible about my bloodline ability and my ninja arts. Once mastering the clans abilities at the age of six, I started making my own jutsu and studying the brother clan of the Umera clan, the Koudoutai Clan, the cursed clan, the clan shunned and destroyed by the village for its ways with cursed chakra.

Once Evan reaches the back of the house for the second time he began to walk away from it, heading towards what looks like the clan's personal Ninja Academy, with its own arena in the back.

Mathius was in his third year of the Ninja Academy when I entered, and we both left the academy that year as Ninja Genins. A year later we became eligable to enter the Chunin Exams. We both pasted the written and the field exercises, then came the fighting tournament. We did very well until the finals when we were forced to go up against each other. By then my jutsu was mastered and I needed to try it out, who better than my own brother? The Hells Dragon nearly killed Mathius, and destroyed half the arena in its power, I enjoyed the chaos that it made, my own creation with such destructive power. That year only I became a Chunin.

Evan then turns his back on the school and looks up and outside the clan's ruins and at the Tsuchikage's office building.

During the time that I became a Jonin on my fourteenth, my father, Spike, became the Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. My disgust towards my father, for taking a position where he must try to make peace then live with the old traditions, could only be matched by my clan for supporting him. It became clear that the only way to save the village from this disgrace was to kill everyone who was unworthy, meaning my father and my clan.

I did so mercilessly, it was beautiful, blood and fire filled the clan, until the only unworthy ones were my father and my brother. How surprised I was when neither of them could hold a candle to me? I had defeated a Chunin, which was understandable, I killed many of them when fighting the clan, along with Genin and Jonin, but when the Tsuchikage himself came to try to stop and fell easily to me, I knew that becoming soft was the true weakness of the village. They truely did deserve death, and so I departed Iwagakure, in the hopes never to return...strange how plans usually don't go the way you plan them.

Outside of Iwagakure I came across a man barely out of nineteen, but his eyes, yes, his eyes told a different story of his age. Blood, massecres, going back at least 4 times this man's age, but his body didn't look aged at all. The man gave me a propisition, to gain more power the only thing I'd have to do is give my loyalty to him. This man was so much like the old Umera clan that it was scary, but to find one such like himself was rare, so I took it. I was to be his twenty-fifth and final experiment for this particular curse mark. This man lead me to a cave in a mountain not that far away from the village. He lead me deep inside then stopped to explain what he was about to give me.

"This curse mark will slowly take away your will against me and give you power, that is if you survive this test. If you survive this awake you shall become more powerful than you ever dreamed. The moment you let the pain take you over you will die. Now that I've explained this to you are you still willing to do this?" Rai asks looking down at Evan.

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't ready so give me the damned mark, so I can get this over with." Evan says exposing his shoulder. Rai extends his hand and places his hand on Evan's shoulder. Once he removes it a strange mark is left where his hand once was. Evan looks at it and raises an eyebrow. "Thats it? I've had bug bites more painful than that."

Then it hit me all at once. Unbearable pain, unspeakable agony, every bone and muscle in my body burned with wild fire. The pain, now looking back on it, I've never felt anything like it, or have felt anything like it ever since. I thrashed for hours, punching the cave walls, breaking fingers, anything to get my mind off of this pain, I remember falling to the floor because the muscles in my legs could no long support me, I just laid there waiting for either the pain to stop or death. Shortly after falling I saw a badly injured horse lying the cave dying. It too was in pain, we looked at each other and knew that we we're feeling the same thing, excruciating pain, naturally we became friends.

So when a giant boulder from the cracked ceiling started to fall and was about to kill the horse, that was something not even I could allow. I got to my feet and ran to try and save the horse, but my legs refused to move one I was back on them. "SCREW THIS TEST! I'M GETTING US OUT OF HERE!" The will power to just move and save the horse took everything I had, the pain stopped and the curse mark glowed and spread throughout my body. I took this chance and ran for the boulder, and without even thinking of using my powers of geokinesis I jumped and smashed the boulder to pebbles with my own fist. I used what little chakra I had left to heal the horse and it helped me get to the cave entrance where Rai stood waiting. I passed out shortly after seeing his eyes one more time.

When I awoke I was not myself anymore, Rai had put a memory seal on me, to make me forget about me killing my village, or how exactly I recieved the curse mark. I was back in my clan, seeing nothing buy fire and blood, it was the most horrible thing I laid my eyes on. I looked down at my feet and saw the bodies of my brother and father and I lost it, the pain of loss that was running through my heart could not take the pain and thats when I did something none of the Umera had ever done. Either because the way to achieve it was too great or no one cared enough I achieved the Black Zodiac transformation in which only the Koudoutai Clan could do.

If it wasn't for Rai, I'd never have gotten so far, I guess thats why hes my closest friend. Hes done for me more than any teacher or family member could do. He helped me improve my skill in which no one else could. After the incident we left Iwagakure and went to our new home, the Dragon Ninja Clan.

Evan turns and walks towards the entrance to the clan's ruins and stops at the gate. He thinks for a moment about turning around and taking in one last eyeful of his old life, but decides different and sinks into the ground.

Evan surfaces from the ground and looks at Namae. "Good, I'm glad your here."

Evan falls to his back and sends his knee upward so it would hit her in the gut.

Evan sinks into the ground, leaving her hands away from his neck. Evan jumps out of the ground, his fist encased in diamonds. "Diamond Barrage!" Evan thrusts his hand foreward making the diamond shatter into hundreds of pieces, all of them heading for Namae.

Evan jumps back and waits for the attack.

Evan smirks and bites his thumb then does handsigns. "Summoning Jutsu!" Evan slaps his hand against the ground. A huge puff of smoke appears and a giant bear in old samurai armor appears. "Back vile bird!" The bear says swinging its massive sword at the bird.

Evan sees the two attacks and knows that the bear is only looking at one. "Surmo! Look out!" Surmo grabs the beak and was about to get hit with the leg. Evan stomps on the ground, a boulder shoots out of the ground level with Evan. Evan kicks the boulder and it knocks the leg away from Surmo. Evan jumps onto Surmo's back and runs up it. He kicks off his head and throws a hard right punch at the head of the giant bird.

Surmo puts his hands onto the bird, channeling the electricity through him. He quickly lets go and fires the lightning into the sky. Evan wraps his chains around Namae's arms and mid section, the blades to her chest so that they'll stab her the moment they hit ground.
