Jutsu training. Kekekeke.(open, but it's only one or two posts)

Near sat in the akatsuki base, meditating in the center of a large circular room. He let his chakra flow through him, with ease and skill. What he was attempting today would be monumental in the development of the akatsuki's goals. And if succesful, a huge step will have been taken against the leaf village. Near stood up and began planning what would have to be done. to be successful in this task, would require a large amount of his fuuinjutsu knowledge, collected over many years. Near knew that he would have to apply a summoning type effect to the seal he was creating. but it would not be the regular kind of thing. Instead of storing, it would be a transportation like effect. By sealing in one, end, he would come out at another. Hmm. This would probably be difficult.

Near made a few handseals, and placed his hand on the ground. It glowed red for a second before dissapearing into the ground. Near walked over to the other end of the room. This time, he made more handseals and placed his hand on the ground. Like before, it glowed red, but this time, a black imprint of the ornate seal appeared in the ground. Near sighed. the moment of fate. Near made a handseal and a shadow clone appeared. Near nodded to the shadow clone, and the clone stepped on the visible circle. The clone made a handseal, and the circle began to glow red. After a few seconds, however, the clone's chakra disrupted, and the clone dissapeared. Near frowned.

Near examined the seal, and his finger lit up with chakra. He edited a few parts of the seal with the shikoku fuuin sealing method, and stood up. He made another handseal, and a second shadow clone appeared. Near nodded to this one as well. The clone stood on the newly created seal, and made a handseal. This time, the seal began to glow blue, slowly. And the clone dissapeared after a few seconds. Half a second later, the clone reappeared on the other seal. Near smiled in delight. His sealing method had worked. Near made a handseal and released the two sealing circles that had been placed. Near then left the sealing room and went to various places in the akatsuki base. He placed a visible seal in his room, and the entrance to the base. after doing so, he came to the entrance of the base.

Without any actual weapons on his person, Near made a handseal. He transformed into an older looking woman, in her late 60's. He perfectly depicted her. Her white, old hair, the wrinkles on her skin. Near even perfectly imitated a limp. by manipulating his chakra, he played around with his vocal cords a little with and found he could alter his voice to perfectly mimic that of an elder woman. Having completed preperation, Near, in the form of an old lady walked out of the base. He made a handseal, and water seeped up from the ground. It formed a surfboard like platform beneath him. Taking the classic surfer pose, Near jetted away in the direction of the leave village at about 70 mph. The trees where a blur of green beneath him. He skimmed over water quickly, sailing through the fire country. When he was eventually nearing the hidden leaf village, Near flew closer to the ground. And when he was within range of the Leaf village, he began walking, with the characteristic limp he developed. He slowly limped, approaching the village gates. He raised his hands at the chuunin guards, and spoke.

"Umm... excuse me! Could one of you kind gentle man help an old lady into the village?"

After a few seconds, a chuunin of medium height walked over from the gate. He smiled at her, and spoke kindly. "I'd be happy to help you maam." The chuunin offered his arm, which Near gracefully took.

"Why thank you laddy. I've just returned from my grandson's wedding, and I seem to have misplaced my papers. Could you vouch for me?"

The chuunin looked away for a second, obviously displeased, but when he turned his face, he was smiling.

"Of course maam, but do not let it happen again."

Near smiled, triumphant.

"Thank you very much, I'll be sure it never happens again."

with that, the chuunin escorted Near inside the village. Near smiled, and thanked the chuunin kindly, before walking the streets. Near stopped and had ramen at ichiraku's making sure to behave as an old woman would. It was things like this that he missed about konoha. after doing so, he paid and tipped nicely. he left slowly, still limping. it was a bit darker now, and he found himself the house of Uchiha Ulkira. He knocked on the door, awaiting a response. If anyone asked, this was her other grandson, and she was paying him a visit. beyond that, Ulkira's parent's were away. If this went as he hoped, power was in Near's future.

Near sighed, after no answer came to the door. Near made three handseals and placed his hands on the ground. It glowed bright blue for a few seconds, before dissapearing. Near stood on the spot, and made a handseal. The seal glowed blue, and after a few seconds, Near, as an old lady, dissapeared.

Half a second later, Near reappeared in his room in the akatsuki base. He ran over to a trash can and threw up. Apparently, it wasn't good for the stomach, that kind of transportation.

It was quite as Ulkira sat on his bed, looking at a photo album of his family. He flipped through the album, looking at pictures of his mother feeding him when he was a baby, of his father teaching him a few ninja techniques. He continued flipping through the book, and smiled a little as he saw a picture in which his family had gone on a camping trip. All of them were laughing happily, enjoying themselves. Ulkira stood in front of his mother, maybe 5 or 6 years old. His father stood to his right, and beside him was Ulkira’s older brother, Carrus. Ulkira’s eyes fell on the image of his brother, standing there with a smile on his face. Even looking at a picture of him gave Ulkira the desire to grab a kunai and stab Carrus with it. Every time he thought about his brother and his traitorous actions, Ulkira became angry and reckless. He just couldn’t see how he would be able to avenge his parents’ death; his brother had always been stronger than him. He chucked the book to the ground in anger, rage boiling inside him. He could see it all now, how he had discovered that his brother had had a hand in killing his parents, how Ulkira had fought him before he had fled the Country. Ulkira closed his eyes and took a few deep, calming breaths. I have to stop dwelling on the past and move forward, he told himself. He opened his eyes as he heard a knock on his door. He stood up. “Who would be visiting me?” he wondered, picking up the album and placing it on his bed. He walked out of his room and headed for the door. He stopped for a second, wondering if he should just simply open the door without knowing who it was. For all he knew, someone could be standing outside with a weapon, waiting for the Uchiha to open the door and stab him. Ulkira shook his head. He was just being paranoid. He walked upto the door and opened it, and just managed to see an old woman standing there in front of the door, forming a handsign. Ulkira blinked, but the woman had vanished. He stepped out of his house and looked around, trying to find her. She had disappeared way too fast, and unless Ulkira’s eyes had been deceiving him, she was forming some sort of handsigns before she vanished. "What the heck just happened?" he wondered out loud as he looked around, puzzled at what had happened.

[Just take his eyes already Pat XD]
