[attr="class","goro"]Goro wasn’t well known for his ability to pay attention, and it was quite a frequent problem that it often landed him in a bit of hot water with the Academy as well as his parents. It seemed today was another one of those days where he’d feel the brunt of their wrath. One wouldn’t know it, but he already knew he was about take a hot seat. He didn’t care. He never really did about stuff like this. Goro was a fighter. He wasn’t the sharpest crayon in the box, but he certainly wasn’t dumb. He was strategic in his own ways if that way meant pounding at something until it stopped moving of course.

Well, that didn’t always work in the eyes of his Academy instructors, and Goro found himself waltzing up to the Okada gym for some pre-workout stretches and subtle Ninjutsu practice. when he was walled off by his Aunt who held a rather unpleasant look on her face.

"Shhhiiii. They already tol’ ya?” Goro huffed. He’d opened his big mouth earlier about wanting to train some of his Academy ninjutsu, and it seemed as though his aunt had already caught wind of it. He didn’t even bother giving his aunt time to reply. The look said enough. The small boy pouted and walked away. Even with the Gate of Opening activated, he wouldn’t be getting past her if she didn’t want him to. It seemed as though he was on a detention of sorts now by his own family. How lame.

He just wanted to improve. He wanted to get up to Taki’s standards, and at the rate his family was allowing him to train, he’d never get there. Goro walked off, clearly sulking to himself as he kicked at a few pebbles in his path. The Old Man wasn’t available to train today either, so it seemed he was mostly out of luck.

A loser like you ain't got no guts!


It was a pretty good day in Iwagakure Taki was feeling good, she’d gotten a good review on her last mission and was feeling good and as she headed towards the family gym singing a tune into her headphones the young blonde would come across a pouty little Goro.

"Hey why da long face little buddy?” she’d say taking out her headphones, the music blaring as she knelt down to the younger boys level. "Don’t let that poutin fool ya he knows the rules NO NINJUTSU!” their aunt would say. "Gory…did Auntie kick you oudda da gym?” she'd say looking down at him, her words spoken as if she was trying to pull the truth out of him.

"Well now that you're here maybe you can train em, cause he sure ain't doing that in ere!” her aunt would say crossing her arms, prompting Taki to sigh. "Well you hoid her…c’mon up da mountain we go.” she’d say, looking to the tall mountain that overlooked the Okada compound. "Wanna ride on the tower of doom on da way up…” the girl would say, poking at her younger cousin's cheek. Goro was still young and no matter how much he protested she knew he always loved the Tower of Doom, aunty seemed to be rather harsh on him so she figured he could use a bit of fun.

"C’mon giddy-up!” she’d say turning her back to him, her anti Konoha sigil still on firm display on her new duster, if he obliged Taki would take off her headphones and hand em to him. "Here I’ll even letcha listen ta dhese, play whateva ya want."

House of Fire

During Taki's training she learns that she has a significant amount of energy and after graduating to the rank of genin she began to learn how to properly make use of them under the tutelage of Midori Chizawa. As a result the girl is now able to perform a bevy of powerful techniques for longer periods of time without tiring as quickly as others.

[Heavyweight: Super Strength SA]

With the rigorous training that Taki's now able to throw down with the best of them boasting monstrous strength fitting for her professional wrestling background, having combined that with the training she performed at the academy has now made her able to performs ridiculous feats such as being able to crush stones in her grip causing concussions and snap bones with her powerful strikes and holds. Taki has also increased the amount of weight she is able to lift by a massive margin in a way that makes her an even more fearsome taijutsu practitioner than before.

[Wrestling Genius]

As a result of her training, and advancements as a genin. Taki's grappling ability has increased even further making her wrestling based techniques far more difficult to deal with and escape from. As a result, her slams, holds, submissions and suplex's are far more damaging and harder to escape from then that of a genin who is not trained in these particular abilities.

[Sage Mode]


✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Grip [Grip Strength]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body and overall Taijutsu prowess increase exponentially most notably her grip strength allowing her to take hold of someone with a painful amount of power amplifying her already proficient ability to grapple with an opponent making it significantly harder to be broken out of as well a deal a considerable amount of damage.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Press [Natural Taijutsu]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body Taki is able to use nature energy to harness her powers in order to make her more physically imposing than normal adding to her natural affinities with Taijutsu allowing her move faster and hit harder heavy items thus adding a good amount of power and heft to her attacks allowing her to snap bones with much less effort and outpace a good majority of her enemies with her monstrous charge.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ The Immovable Force [Durability]

Due to the coarse strength of a gorilla's skin Taki is able to withstand a good amount of extra punishment allowing her to be able to withstand blows from most enemies that most shinobi wouldn't be able to normally withstand. As such blows from strong fighters are reduced by a considerable amount and when struck feel like colliding with a considerably immovable force.

[attr="class","goro"]The site of Taki cheered Goro up instantly. If anyone would cave into training him, it’d be her. After all, she was the entire reason he wanted to even try and become a ninja. As his aunt put in her two cents, he gave her a glare, sticking out his tongue playfully as Taki mentioned heading off to the mountains to train. He would hide his excitement with a ‘cool’ shrug but would giggle as his cousin poked his pouted cheek. "yea aight,” he’d said, hopping onto Taki’s back, accepting the headphones but keeping them loose and hanging around his neck so that Taki could also hear.

He’d leave whatever she was playing on, wanting to get more of a taste of her music preferences. He almost wondered if it helped her train some days.

"So, your sage mode’s pretty strong, huh,” he’d say, leaning forward a bit to look at Taki’s face from his position at her back. "What level ya at, anyways? We talkin like Third Gate? Fourth?” It was obvious he didn’t know much about what he was talking about, only doing what he could to compare Sage mode with something he had more familiarity with like Hachimon.

Taki allow her younger cousin to climb onto her back handing off her headphones to him, the song playing would be an old punk classic which Taki could still from out of the headphones since they were too big for his tiny ears. "Let you down~ mess it up~ we both knew it wouldn’t last foreva~.” the girl would start singing to herself bobbing her head to the music as she carried her little cousin on her shoulders. But as they kept going he’d ask her a question what gate she was at causing the young girl to raise a brow as she looked up at him.

"What’re you tawlkin about? Sage mode don’t woik dat way?” she’d say with that the two of them would make it to the precipice of the mountain and make their way up. "Ya see Gory sage mode is less about opening chakra and more about gadherin it.” the girl would state.

"You gotta have absolute caancentration and complete focus, odda wise ya die.” the girl would describe it all but figured that it might be putting the young boy to sleep. "Not just anyone can do it, it comes in stages per and right now what you saw was inbetween stage 1 and stage 2.” and she was right getting the first part of it down was hard enough and she’s currently attempting to learn how to improve but progress was slow.

[attr="class","goro"]Goro would smile as he listened to the song, as strange as it sounded to him it had Taki written all over it. His heck bopped up and down with the beat of the music, and he’d kick his feet lightly against Taki’s side as she carried him upward. As the song came to an end, he would listen to Taki try to explain Sage mode to him a little more and it became increasingly evident that he didn’t have a single clue how it worked.

"Ehhh? Really?” he said with a cocked head, fiddling with the cord of the headphones in his small hands. "Sounds boring to me…” he would think for a moment though. "Say though, sis, does this concentration shii help you with your chakra any? Think it’ll help me with my Eight Gates at all? That’s chakra.” In a nine-year-old’s mind, it was all connected one way or another, but again Goro felt like he was kinda just pulling at straws.

He scoffed, switching to the next song on Taki’s playlist. "I bet I could do it,” he said with a surprising amount of confidence without a single memory of where he could back up that cocky attitude of his. "What ya think?"

As the girl would listen to her younger cousins go on to explain himself attempting to over simplify the situation Taki would here him talk about how he had chakra and that 8 gates and it were basically the same, she’d feel his feet kick against her shoulders and the girl thought about it for a moment really thinking on it, he clearly didn't get it but he was still young enough to at least take it in better than someone who was older than him. "Well I mean I am looking for apprentices, if’n ya wanna give it a try I don see why not, but I gotta see something foist.” the girl would say as she lectured the younger boy.

"Sage mode ain’t so simple and you gotta have da resoives in orda to harness senjutsu chakra.” As the two kept walking the boy would change the song this next one was a classic and another favorite of Taki's clearly she had a taste for rock music which made sense given the village. "So you think you’ve got me figured out~ So why don’t you tell me what I’m all about~” she’d bob her head to the beat and sing along with her little cousin, this song was one he'd probably hear the girl singing quite often. "HEY~ I’M DOING THINS EXACTLY LIKE I WANT TOO~ AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU APPROVE~” and for a rebel clan like the Okada this kind of music was rather fitting.

As the two of them finally made it to the top of the mountains the view from the top was breathtaking they were just high enough to see the clouds up close but just low enough to still be able to breathe and not have that annoying pop in their ears. "Alright little buddy here’s your stop, hand em over.” she’d say gesturing for him to hand her the cassette player.

[attr="class","goro"]This was one of those moments that a person simply didn’t forget. It was one of those moments that fifty years from now he would think about and smile on, and it would be just as vivid as it was with him being here now.

There was a nervousness inside of him, as well as a readiness to learn and improve. With Goro, there was always something he was willing to try, and the difficulty never mattered to him. Goro was a lot of bark and his confidence in himself was overwhelmingly positive. In his mind, he could do anything he wanted. The rest of the world didn’t need to understand that. As long as he had this mindset, he truly believed he was top of the kingdom. Someday, that thought would come crashing down on him. He very much wasn’t top of the kingdom, nor did he really want to be. If catching up with Taki meant he could be by her side, then that’s all that mattered right now.

As they reached their destination in the mountains, Goro would gently jump down from Taki’s back, reluctantly handing over the headphones and cassette player to her. He was enjoying the music. "I’ll gotta get me one of dem,” he’d say with a smile, hoping that she’d have some sort of playlist he could copy for his training. Muse was important when it came to training, and Taki had the right idea with the music she was listening to.

"So, sis, this sage chakra stuff. I wanna try it.” Goro spoke bluntly. Anything to get stronger. Anything. "Think ya can teach me?"

Taki would let the younger boy down. "Oh yeah? Den I’ll getcha one for ya boifday next year promise.” she’d say after letting him down. From there she’d look over at the boy, "Now I know ya eager but afore we do anything, but I need to see if you even have the ability to learn sage mode so do me a fava and open one o ya gates.” it might've seemed like an odd request but the girl was actually attempting to gauge his chakra reserves, since in order to become a sage one needed to have chakra reserves to properly balance both nature chakra and normal chakra.

If the boy choose to follow her instruction Taki would begin to gather sage energy taking the time to take a seat and meditate gathering nature energy from the small pieces of foliage as well as the sediment beneath the earth allowing her to become one with nature. And it while it might not look like much Taki was gathering an substantial amount of sage energy which she was bringing in from the environment around her. She’d done this quite a few times at this point but was still learning how to handle it even now, and each time she practiced she would work towards gathering more and more little by little. But Interestingly enough Goro’s eagerness might work out in her favor.

Recently the young sage had been attempting to learn how to sense the chakra of others and with Goro wanting to learn how to become a sage now was the perfect time for her to put this to the test. As Goro opened his gate Taki would begin to mold her own chakra in order to activate sage mode.

[attr="class","goro"]The promise was exciting to Goro, and certainly gave him something to look forward to. Anything that connected himself with Taki more was definitely something he would look forward to, and the prospect that they may be able to share and enjoy music together was just another thing on his list in addition to the training they already spent time completing together. "Aw hell yea!” Granted, he’s had his birthday not too long ago, but this did give him plenty of time to research music of his own to find out what he liked or even what Taki enjoyed.

He would continue to listen to Taki. As she made her request, Goro didn’t hesitate. When Taki asked for something, Goro did it. There was a certain amount of trust involved with that, and it showed. If the girl asked Goro to do something, she had her reason and all Goro needed to know was that her reason was good enough for him. With that, he would close his eyes and begin to focus his chakra. After several seconds, his face would begin to turn red, and the veins at his temple would begin to pop. He’d opened the first gate a few times at this point, and with each time it was becoming easier and easier to withstand without feeling the effects quite as badly after it ended. With his growing body, this certainly helped.

Goro’s eyes would open as the Gate of Opening was released. The boy wasn’t quite used to this approach with opening the first gate. In his experience, it was always just before a fight, but now he stood there wondering what to do next. It appears Taki was gathering her own chakra, and so he would wait for her to finish before receiving further instructions. In the meantime, He hopped up and down on the toes of his feet. The energy rushing through him made it quite hard to stand still.

As the girl would enter into sage mode and would take on her usual monstrous appearance, once her transformation was complete she’d take a moment to focus on her younger cousins chakra and would hone in on it as he began to open his chakra gates from there she’d take a gander at the chakra reserves that he had sending out a chakra pulse using sage energy however upon receiving the feedback from the technique the amount of chakra she had registered was unlike anything that Taki herself had scanned up to this point. And with her untrained ability to use said technique for a slight moment there was almost a loss of control that nearly caused some of her sage chakra to fluctuate.

However due to her training she was able to get herself back on track. "Man how much chakra was dat…?” the girl would think. She’d only ever used this technique a few times but never felt the chakra reserves of someone that large before. "Gory that’s enough…” she’d say calling out to the younger boy. The girl would stand up as her sage mode transformation lingered still keeping up with her monstrous appearance.

"You’ve certainly got da chakra for sage mode.” the girl would say, after a moment the girl would craft a few hand seals and summon a small baby gorilla who wore an orange shirt this was Aki Aki, Taki’s faithful companion who Goro may or may not have met since he was almost always around whenever she was practicing. "So it's obvious ya got da chakra to loin sage mode but now we gotta test and see if ya got the patience, which is just as important.” the girl would say looking to her younger cousin.

With that the small gorilla would climb over towards her younger cousin and make her way onto his shoulder much like she would Taki but wasn’t sure how the little guy would react to the harier littler guy.

"Dis here is my little buddy Aki Aki and he’s gonna be watching over ya.” she’d say coaxing him, unlike most sage animals Aki was incapable of human speech and behaved more like an animal rather than a normal summon he could understand people but communicated in hollers and gestures like your average ape.

"Now den what I want you do is close your eyes and visualize something for me. Anything just something that keeps ya focused, focused and calm.” as this went on Taki would take a moment to keep a keen watch on her younger cousin this was an attempt to see if he had the ability to remain still she’d watch for any fluctuations in the event that he accidentally gathered any sage energy,but during this process she’d keep herself still meditating without really having to take a stance like normal. It was something she had practiced in the chunin exams and had slowly begun to master. As she gathered her energy she kept a keen eye on her younger cousin alongside Aki Aki the two both ready to act should disaster occur.

SUMMARY

SA's:

House of Fire

During Taki's training she learns that she has a significant amount of energy and after graduating to the rank of genin she began to learn how to properly make use of them under the tutelage of Midori Chizawa. As a result the girl is now able to perform a bevy of powerful techniques for longer periods of time without tiring as quickly as others.

[Heavyweight: Super Strength SA]

With the rigorous training that Taki's now able to throw down with the best of them boasting monstrous strength fitting for her professional wrestling background, having combined that with the training she performed at the academy has now made her able to performs ridiculous feats such as being able to crush stones in her grip causing concussions and snap bones with her powerful strikes and holds. Taki has also increased the amount of weight she is able to lift by a massive margin in a way that makes her an even more fearsome taijutsu practitioner than before.

[Wrestling Genius]

As a result of her training, and advancements as a genin. Taki's grappling ability has increased even further making her wrestling based techniques far more difficult to deal with and escape from. As a result, her slams, holds, submissions and suplex's are far more damaging and harder to escape from then that of a genin who is not trained in these particular abilities.

[Sage Mode]


✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Grip [Grip Strength]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body and overall Taijutsu prowess increase exponentially most notably her grip strength allowing her to take hold of someone with a painful amount of power amplifying her already proficient ability to grapple with an opponent making it significantly harder to be broken out of as well a deal a considerable amount of damage.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Press [Natural Taijutsu]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body Taki is able to use nature energy to harness her powers in order to make her more physically imposing than normal adding to her natural affinities with Taijutsu allowing her move faster and hit harder heavy items thus adding a good amount of power and heft to her attacks allowing her to snap bones with much less effort and outpace a good majority of her enemies with her monstrous charge.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ The Immovable Force [Durability]

Due to the coarse strength of a gorilla's skin Taki is able to withstand a good amount of extra punishment allowing her to be able to withstand blows from most enemies that most shinobi wouldn't be able to normally withstand. As such blows from strong fighters are reduced by a considerable amount and when struck feel like colliding with a considerably immovable force.

[attr="class","goro"]Goro was a bit taken aback by Taki’s sudden opinion of his chakra reserves, but it also seemed quite soon. Was she able to tell so soon after he had activated his Gate of Opening? A bit simpler in mind and trusting of his cousin, he wouldn’t outwardly question it, but would instead slow down on his release of chakra with a subtle nod. His Hachimon would die down quickly, and his face would return to normal. Only having used it for a brief moment and without actually straining his muscles any, Goro did not feel any fatigue usually associated with the Eight Gates. "Yehhh, you say that, sis. Guess we’ll see, huh?” he’d smile cheekily, waiting as she continued on with her sage mode. She certainly had the chakra, he could visibly see her bursting with it.

With a few quick seals and a puff of smoke, Goro would see a small gorilla present itself. He’s look down at it with the curiosity only a child could really show. His eyes would light up as he listened, and even more so as she continued to discuss the purpose of summoning him in the first place. Would he be able to summon gorillas some day? Goro wasn’t sure that was really his thing, but who knew. He was more of a kick ass physically kind of guy. Relying on anyone or anything else seemed out of the question for him. Nah, he wanted to do it himself.

Goro would do as instructed, closing his eyes and visualizing something as instructed. The first thing that came to mind was the ring, thousands of fans in the background, though it was oddly silent. He was in the middle, a light beaming down on him. The world was still.

He said nothing and simply wondered in this visualized world as instructed by his cousin. He didn’t question for how long or how much. He would remain still, something quite odd for Goro, but again he didn’t question Taki. If it was something she’d ask for, it was something he’d do.

As the boy got into his headspace Taki would observe him from outside she herself wasn’t noticing any abnormalities nor was Aki but then she’d start to speak. "Alright good you’re doing fine so far now dhen…” as she spoke his mindscape would begin to change.

"What’re ya thinking about…” she’d ask her words could potentially cause a distraction for the boy but that was all apart of the test she wanted to know what he was seeing and thinking so that could see the stage he had set for himself and then manipulate it, he seemed to be calm when he was in a setting of his own design but what if his environment began to change.

"Now in a second you might start to feel something, its gonna feel weird the foist time you feel it but don’t be afraid of it just let it happen, and rememba stay calm.”the girl would say getting the feeling for sage energy the first time is a scary feeling when done without guidance one can feel this power resonating around you it swells as you try to take it in, but it’s so foreign and can happen quickly and if you aren’t prepared it could overwhelm you.

Thankfully Taki always had someone to help her in the form of her summon Aki Aki and made sure to do the same. "I’m right here okay.” the girl would think as she observed him.

[attr="class","goro"]Goro would squirm in his position a little as Taki would continue to speak. As much as he understood she was maybe curious about his progress with it, and perhaps even a little excited to see it, it made it much harder to concentrate on the mindscape.

As Taki would begin to speak more, the crowd would slowly begin to disappear, fading in their seats and the light would become dimmer. "I’m in tha ring. By myself, but there’s a crowd. They aint really doing anything but sittin’…staring.” Goro’s eyes furrowed a bit, and he would begin to concentrate again, focusing much harder on the landscape.

With a little time and as he was focused and still, Goro would begin to feel a tingling in his body, something he wasn’t quite used to. The light would become brighter, and the crowd would become more alive. However, the tingling sensation in his body would become increasingly difficult to bear.

The boy wondered if this was sage chakra flowing through his body or if perhaps it was just a chill. He would continue to focus on the mind scape, building it to his liking. Another few moments past, and the sensation became stronger and stronger until Goro felt as though his body was beginning to swell like he was going to explode.

He opened his eyes, his breathing rapid and harsh. He’d fall to his knees shaking slightly. "What da hell was that!” he’d say, his eyes shooting up to Taki with a furrowed brow. His bottom lip quivered. "That’s nothing like Hachimon…tha energy…how you just okay with that, huh?!”

Goro honestly felt a bit scared inside. He didn’t like the feeling. It was…otherworldly…haunting almost. How was Taki able to feel something like that and be okay with it?

As the boy began to explain himself Taki would hear out his explanation for what it was he was going through at the time, and what his mindscape looked like. "Okay interestin'.” as he gathered the energy she noticed that he was fidgeting that wasn’t good, if he kept it up things might get bad during this process she’d keep a sharp eye as would Taki but as he began to gather sage energy Taki would notice something as he fidgited and jumped out of sage mode there was a physical change happening to his body, small deformations of his leg which began to seemingly petrify. "Gory…don’t move.” her voice was stern almost like Riku’s or his mother.

She’d look to her chimp companion as the petrification seemed to progress but thankfully Aki Aki was able to relinquish the change that was occurring on his body. She watched closely as the hard stone like callous would reform itself back into normal skin. After a moment she’d sigh with relief.

"Sorry buddy…but you ain’t cut out for dis…” as Aki would return to her the girl would go on to explain. "Unlockin da power of sage mode requiya’s concentration and stillness something you ain’t got yet.” the girl would say stroking his head.

"Cause ya see when usin sage mode you're bringing in a seperate form of chakra cawled naicha chakra and it's incredibly dangerous...and if ya take in too much even a little...it can kill ya." she'd then let out a bit of a laugh, knowing full well the consequences of what would happen if one rushed into sage mode too feverishly, having been taught that lesson by Midori herself.

"And sorry but uhh, your momma would neva forgive me if ya came back as a statue.” the girl would say somewhat nervously, but after a minute she'd look down at the boy with a smile."But man if he ain’t got some o da craziest chakra resoives I’ve eva seen…I don’t even think I had dat much.” afterwards she'd stand up and look towards the village. "But hey don't worry about it...if you keep woikin at your taijutsu, you and Adachi'll eclipse me in no time."

[attr="class","goro"]he had continued to wriggle, Taki would speak out again, causing Goro to become even more uncomfortable and in turn making him shift himself one last time into a more comfortable position. His legs felt weird, but he would keep his eyes closed shut as he’d continued to expend chakra into focusing on the mindscape as Taki had instructed. Before long, though, the young boy would hear a sigh, and Taki would hit him with words that made his heart sink.

His eyes would open, and they would track the small gorilla as it went back over to Taki. His blonde brows furrowed a bit, and his lip tucked slightly. "Yeaaa, I know. That’s what the instructa is always tellin’ me,” he said with a disappointed shrug. "They gotta teach me different at the Academy," he'd shrug with a grimace. He hated sitting still for lessons.

He would lighten up and continue to listen to her explanation and a more horrified expression would follow. "So, you’re risking ya’self every time you gather that chakra stuffs?” He’d question. The worry on his face was palpable as soon as he realized just how much danger Taki was putting herself in to train.

Goro would throw his hands down, a fist would form, "Yea and what’a’bout you, huh? What if you turned inta a statue?! Yea, then what?” A tear would form at the edge of the boy’s eye.

"What’d we do then, huh?” he’s look up to her, his blue eyes seriously questioning her, but the way he said we…

He really meant I.
