Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have a Kekai Genkai, a power of foresight." Hikari said, "Long ago...during the first great ninja war, before the villages were established, my people turned away from it. Turned away from war, and went into hiding. As we were a small village..we had to ensure that we could protect ourselves if we were ever found out. So that is why the Spirit Jutsu's were created, crafted so only the those with a good soul could use them." She stoppd speaking for a moment, a look of saddness falling over her face.

"But...there were those with wicked souls among us. Those who couldn't use the spirit jutsu's..and decided to craft their own twisted abomination. They cursed themselves, gaining dark power. They were bannished for their crimes, and so they sought revenge. Their numbers were to small for revenge..so they created the Cursed Dolls that you have seen. To craft an army...suffice to say..they won..before the cursed dolls turned on them as well. I was one of the last survivers..taking refuse in this temple." She took a calming breath, and smiled again, apparnetly at a happy thought.

"I used the last of my chakra.to leave a plan. Seeing into the future, I saw you three..and your possibilities. Kirinata's fiery spirit, Nowe's dedication, and Kohane's gift to heal wounds and souls....I picked you three to take up the mantle that would one day become known as Sannin, left these messages to train you in those that came before you and after me. So that the world would have hope..when the dolls finally learned that there were other villages."

Nowe glanced over at Kiri, not happy with that question. If he could do it on his own so easily, he woudlnt' have gotten the cursemark in the first place.

Hikari shook her head, "Not that is within my knowledge...I know little of the cursed mark.. Just that there have been many variations over the years. Perhaps looking to those sources will find you a way to either get rid of it or seal it away. But for now...you three must take your final test.."

Zane sighed as he continued to comb through all the records he had been sent pertaining to the Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan. Besides Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu, there were two other abilities that could be awakened in a Mangekyou Sharingan. One was the Susano-o, and aura-like projection of a demon warrior that made for an almost impenetrable defense and a devastating offense, the drawback was that it caused damage on a cellular level to the user. Then there was the wild card, a space-time ninjutsu called Kamui said to teleport targets to another dimension. It had only been used by Kakashi Hatake and never seen since. Man, it seems like I'm still a genin compared to these guys. I just want to know if I can learn the other Mangekyou Techniques. Zane thought to himself with a sigh.

A timid figure approached Senro, looking down at the ground, her long dark hair hiding her face. "Excuse me...what are you doing out here?" She asked in a shy gently voice.

Meanwhile, a taller figure, dressed in traditional Hyuuga garb, walked towards Zane. "You are the one from the leaf with the Sharingan yes? Much like Kakashi Hatake?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

"You will begin your final tests..to finally see if your ready to take the title of Sannin for yourselves. To see if your ready to defeat the threat that these dolls posses." She said, pulling out a pretty white crystal orb. "Your first test..is to use what you have learned..and defeat those who have come before you."

The world faded to black around the three, seperating them. Before each of them, stood a Cursed Doll. They each took shape. In Kohane's room, She was faced with the Slug Queen, Tsunade. Before Nowe, the white snake Orochimaru. Kiri's oppenet would be the legendary Toad Sage, Jariya. The three past Sannin each took a moment to make the traditional handsign to start the battle, and then attacked. Jariya with his hair, Orochimaru with a sword from the throat, and Tsunade with a powerfull heel drop.

Neji followed Zane outside, then taking a few paces away from him. "We will see who's eye's are stronger." He said, activating his Byakugan and taking a stance. "Prove yourself worthy of those eye's." He then rushed forward, aiming his attacks for Zane's chakra points.
