Teamwork? Could use some work..(IO,NK)

(cries because I've been the one waiting, not Tat, but laughs because I have a problem with seeing bondage jokes)

Kasai watched the girl, obviously taken back by the size of the gorilla. He remembered when he too had that reaction. It was impossible not to; when an 8 foot tall gorilla comes before you, you are inclined to feel somewhat intimidated. 
The next part, however, confused him slightly. It seemed as if the girl tried to mimic some what of the way he talked; the way the sun had burnt his mind into never seeing straight again. He chuckled slightly at this; he knew he spoke strangely, but could not help to do so, yet seeing others attempt the same was interesting. 
Watching the girl bow, Kasai noticed Ruijin give him a look. She was respectful; that's always a good start, no matter what.  
The ape, upon hearing her request, laughed too, slightly. A deep booming laugh that sounded more of a large drum than an actual voice.
"And how, little one, would you like me to help? Kasai has summoned me, but he too knows a great deal about fire, so I take it that fire is not the real reason. You wish to learn the art of summoning, do you not?"
The ape spoke slowly, and calmly. This was the only side Kasai had known of him. The two had trained together, but all of the times Kasai had nearly died had been before the ape, so he did not know if it was possible for the beast to lose its calm. He dearly hoped not; such a sight would be terrifying.

(sorry for the short post as usual)

After his quick break after making a tree, Jason decided to try working on another wood element jutsu he had been wanting to try out. Wood clone. He already knew the shadow clone jutsu and it was one of his go to techniques. He figured having wood clones would make his combos even better. He made the hand seals Tiger-Dog-Snake and watched as two clones slowly emerged from two different trees that Jason had made earlier. It looked as if the trees were twisting and turning in one specific spot, creating two human shaped blocks of wood that slowly defined themselves to have all of Jason's clothes, weapons and characteristics.

The cat had been summoned and Tatsuya told him what to do. It was hard because the paw was in the air but Tatsuya could still figure out where the paw was heading. The lung forward implied that the cat was going to make a physical strike and when only three pawn came back in contact with the earth Tatusya knew that the other was going to come right towards Tatsuya. Unfortunately Tatsuya was not in motion yet so he could not tell at what direction the paw was going from but the cat was slow and Tatsuya could move and visualize the movements quick enough. With that Tatsuay brings up his right leg at a speed of 60 then slams his foot into the ground.
The world becomes more lit up and clear and the vibrations travel up the cat and then back to Tatsuay at a speed of 60.
The paw was coming straight for Tatsuya's left side. Swiftly Tatsuay makes a roll forward.

Now that Tatsuya was moving the world was more clear. With each step Tatsuya could see the movements of his friends and with each step his friends took made Tatsuya's world more clear.

After his role Tatsuya starts to run around the cat until he was behind it. Trying not to get distracted Tatsuya could not help to drag his attention towards Jason. He was making trees pop up around him and that made Tatsuya happy. Before Tatsuya knew it he was hit in the stomach by Daitchi's tail when Tatsuay became distracted. His feel left the ground and the world became black. He would fly towards the direction to where Kasai and Risako were and most likely he would hit the ground with a nice large thud.

Keeping her bowed posture, she nodded her head. Lifting her she would begin to speak, "I would be gratef-" her words would be cut off as a wild Tatsuya appeared, slamming into the ground below them. Normally she would've chuckled and laughed it off, but this was a special occasion. With Ruijin and Kasai before her, she would refuse to let this go unpunished. As an involuntary, character breaking reflex, she would swing her right leg in the air above Tatsuya, and slam her heel down into Tatsuya's sternum. 

If she hit, she would bend down and apologize. If Tatsuya moved or dodged it somehow, she would still apologize, as the action was totally unnecessary. Any how, she would eventually turn to Kasai and Ruijin again, apoligize for her outburst, and continue where she left off. "I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. I would be grateful to learn how to summon." 

[That'll likely change depending on how you guys react. I'm gonna start taking a little more time writing the posts (not on this post, obviously) in order to make them longer.]

Kasai looked at Risako as she made to bow again. However, A flying Tatsuya seemed to interrupt that. 
Before Kasai himself could react, Ruijin moved. Though the ape did not move his entire body, a single arm was all that was needed. Being hit, Tatsuya was not moving very fast, and the ape was able to react in time. 
The reaction was quite simple, and all in a single arm. He only had to reach out a slight ways, and catch the flying ninja, gently though. He had already hit Tatsuya enough, and without reason to do so again, he would be as gentle as he could. And so the large gorilla caught Tatsuya with one hand, and gently placed him back on the ground, watching him to make sure he wouldn't fall over right away. 
Then, the ape turned his attention back to the girl. Yes, as he had guessed from the reason that Kasai had summoned him, she too wanted to learn the summoning ways.
"Very well," he said in his deep booming voice. He only had to think about it a moment before making his decision. She was not Kasai, but that was no reason to deny her. She had fire as her base element, the only true requirement that the counsel had agreed on. She was respectful and smart as well, and around the same level of skill that Kasai had been when he had learned to summon. 
"First, you must sign a contract with the apes, before going any further," he said. Upon this, the ape reached behind himself, and took out a massive scroll, opening it before the girl.

Jason had just taken up a stance to have a three-way battle with himself when one of his newly formed wood clones noticed Tatsuya being knocked away by his cat summon. When had he called his summon? Then he noticed Ruijin, Kasai's Ape summon. When had Kasai called his summon? It seemed a lot had happened while Jason was busy making trees grow and trying to fight his wood clones. Jason and his two wood clones moved at a speed of 50 to try and catch Tatsuya as he was moving fairly slow compared to Jason's speed. However it seemed his efforts were rendered unnecessary as Ruijin had managed to catch Tatsuya and set him down just as Jason and his clones reached them. "Thanks for catching him Ruijin." Jason and his clones said in unison, giving a weird surround sound to his words. He would then make sure Tatsuya was ok before turning to Kasai and Risako. "Hey guys. Looks like you're making some good progress with your training over here. Well I don't want to interrupt. I'm gonna go fight myself now and maybe make some more trees. Come get me when you've finished." Jason and his clones said in unison once again. Without waiting for a response, the three Jasons turned and moved back to their little cove of trees at 90 speed.

"Well that was fun. Should we get to it then?" Jason said to his two wood clones, rather unnecessarily as they could communicate telepathically, as he took his bow off his back and knocked an arrow.

Flying through the air Tatsuya was soon cached by the leathery hands of the giant ape.

"Wohh thanks Ruijin, got distracted by Jason's tree making."

Blind for only a moment Tatsuya's feet soon touch the ground and his world lights up again. Tightening his blind fold he heads off to the cat once more. 

"Oh come on you can do better then that!" Daichi says with a snarl.

"Forgive but remember I am like a child who i learning how to walk."

With that Tatsuya begins to charge the cat and with each step Tatsuya plans his attack. Once again the cat prepares to strike with its paw but this time instead of dodging  Tatsuya will take the hit. The cat was not too strong so when the paw comes near Tatsuya simply stops it his left arm. Then as if he was in a movie Tatsuya pulls him self up onto to I and begins to run up the large cats arm. What Tatsuay did not know that he would not be able to see anything once again. 'Crap' he says to himself. 'This skill must only work when im in contact with the earth.' It was not his fault as Tatsuya did not know the limitations yet but no matter. In this moment Daichi shakes Tatsuya off and he lands on the ground. Now being able to see Tatsuya has grown a little tired of what was happening so with a little anger in his muscles Tatsuya grabs the cat by its paw and throws him about 10m.

Tatsuya smiles and the cat hisses.

"Well well Tatsuya I think i understand the limitations of your skill more."

Then the cat proceeds to stomp the ground with its two front pawns and forms two boulders that are 5m large. The rose from the ground and Tatsuya lost all connections with them. However when the cat hit them with his tail at and shot them towards Tatsuya at a speed of 40 Tatusya had some idea of what direction they were coming at but no a perfect idea. Most likely the cat aimed them directly towards Tatsuya but then again the cat could have aimed them to his sides. What made matter worst Daichi created two more and aimed them for Tatsuya. What to do what to do were the toughs of Tatsuya. Well I guess i have to pull a Kasai. Estimating when the boulders would hit Tatsuya substitutes under the cat and will proceed to strike. 

[-5 substitution 445 left // Daichi 210 left]

[Just stating now, dis week gonna be a little tight on spare time, so sorry for the short post (it's 11PM where I live, and it's one of the only free moments I've had all day). I'll still try to post everyday, but don't yell at meh if I cant. Also, I'm gonna try fixing up my grammar and sentence structure a bit.]

For being such a big and towering creature, Ruijin could move elegantly. After setting down Tatsuya, he turned and told her she would have to sign a contract first. She thought to herself, Is... is that it? I've never understood summoning, but I though it would be more complicated. Where's the pentagram and blood circle? Standing up again, she would step forward, ready to sign her name on the massive scroll laid out on the ground before her. Eyeing Kasai's name in the scroll, she asked, "What do I sign with?

(yup, same sadness with the miserable short posts here. Sorry about that.)
"Just a small prick of your own blood," Ruijin replied. "Do not be mortified by it, only as much as a single needle would draw is enough."
Both him and Kasai knew it was a strange way to sign, but with a contract so meaningful, there was no other way. Yet, the girl seemed strong willed enough to do it. She was not the type to balk or worm away at the sight of blood, and pricking your finger is a simple task. It would be something else if the cost were more, but they knew she could do it. 
And so the ape stood, watching the girl to see what she would do. 
(bleh, shorter than I was hoping, sorry about that.)

[its ok guys. But when you two finish teaching/learning the summoning technique we should do a two on two sparring match]

Jason and his two wood clones faced each other, Jason with his bow drawn and each of his clones with kunai in their hands. Jason was getting better at fighting multiple opponents but his clones had all the same strengths and weaknesses he did. It was going to be tough to fight two of them at once. They charged Jason and he shot an arrow first at the chest of clone#1 and then another at the chest of clone#2. They easily deflected the arrows with their respective kunai and continued charging forward. They attacked from both Jason's right and left simultaneously, making it harder for him to defend himself. Jason quickly dropped his bow, performed the Ram seal and grabbed the bow again, knocking another arrow.

Jason turned to the clone attacking from his left so that his back was facing the other clone. He blocked the clone in front of him with his bow and knocked it away 2ft and then shot an arrow at the clone's head. Simultaneously, a sharp edged branch extended from his back at an angle to block the second clone's kunai as another sharp pointed branch extended toward the clone's heart.
