Cause he is worried that Kakashi might steal Aoi from us. I don't blame him

...No, I'm just curious as to what they've been up to and if Aoi has learned anything from him. Besides, we've already spoken to all the other characters that I'm interested in talking to.

Suddenly you have an urge to tail the Mizukage. Following this urge you put up your finger, "Well, let's split up for a while guys." Slyly slipping away you leave them looking a bit befuddled.
Looking around in a rushed manner, you manage to find her and an aid, the eye patched man from before. Walking up just to cut them off you get them to stop, "Excuse me Mizukage, can I speak to you?"
"Hey, listen bu-"
"Ao" She calls coldly. Apparently she wasn't too fond of him...yet she must have trusted him fairly well to have him act as her guardian.
"Y-yes Mizukage?"
"Just leave..." She sighs in a drafty voice.
"Y-yes", he responds, walking away briskly with a confused look, and maybe slightly embarrassed.
"Mizuk-"
"Please, just call me Mei."
"Oh...You can call me Izen then", you respond pleasantly, "Any way Mei", trying to think of something to say you stop short, stuttering a bit. "Ah, about earlier, I'm sorry if I was too rough. I didn't mean to be...uh..."
"I understand", her voice cool as ice, or maybe as cold as ice. "You're a good man. A reliable one no doubt", she suddenly taps your chest with her finger.
"But maybe not around women."
"What?"
"Try not to enjoy yourself too much Tsuchikage...I mean...Izen." Leaving you just as confused as you left Nikiwa and Eiji she briskly walks away, strutting her hips rather sensually as she does so.
"Huuh? How weird..." You whisper to yourself. What could she possibly be talking about...

Departing from the Mizukage you seek out Aoi and Kakashi, hoping to find out how things went with the two. Maybe for Aoi's sake you could've given her more time, but it wouldn't be polite to charge Kakashi with looking after her for long.
With some searching you find them outside, both of them with lightning enveloping their hands.
"Like this? Chidori!"
"Almost!" It was hard to hear them over the sound...
"Hey. Hey! HEY!"
Raising an eye Kakashi breaks off his jutsu, Aoi following shortly thereafter. Slowly sticking his pinky into his ear he seems to pick at it, "No need to be so loud Tsuchikage..."
"Pft. And ca- Nevermind." You shrug it off, "So how...uh...how was it?"
"Awesome!" Aoi joyfully chirps.
"Eh? Oh, yeah. Fun I guess," He says, sighing rather thoughtlessly. "I never knew someone would learn chidori by themselves...She's quite talented I'd say."
"Chidori?"
"Yea boss! Kakashi (senpai) said my jutsu is good enough to be called chidori!"
Momentarily moving to your shoulder Kakashi whispers, "It's a less advanced form of Raikiri."
"What are you two talking about?"
"Ah, I see." She must not know. "Aoi, did you show him the hummingbird too?"
"Aah...not really...Yours is much better boss..." her voice weakening as she mentions you.
"Hummingbird? Well, I wouldn't mind taking a look at that too..."
Jeez, he sure didn't sound like he wanted to do it...
"Uhh, would you mind if I?"
A. Let Aoi stick around with Kakashi and go I. Visit someone 1) Gaara and Naruto 2) Bug girl, again 3) Suggestions II. Timeskip to the Sabakou meeting
B. Hang around Aoi for a while C. Train with the two for a while D. Free choice

Lightly you tap Aoi's back, giving her a little push in confidence. "Come on Aoi, it's your signature technique", you say.
"W-well. If you say so boss." Making the proper handseals she holds out her hand, the crackling blue chakra forming into a small bird in her palms, tilting its head from side to side.
"Ah, I see. So what can it do?"
"Oh right!" Letting the bird take flight, with another handseal Aoi commands the bird to zip around and crash into a nearby tree, leaving a deep gash in it. Her technique seemed a little better than previously honestly...Maybe your encouragement helped...That or being in front of Kakashi...
"Nice", you casually compliment, though it goes unheeded.
"Not bad, would you mind if I copied that?"
"O-oh! N-not at all Kakashi senpai! I'd be honored! Uhh..I think." She seemed like a nervous wreck around him, really...
Following the same handseal as Aoi Kakashi also forms a hummingbird in his open palm. "Hmm...I see. This is actually more advanced than Chidori or raikiri in a way. It'll require more dynamic manipulation of chakra while you're using the jutsu. I'm really impressed actually..."
"R-really?" Aoi stutters. "Can you help me Kakashi-senpai?"
" It's not unlike my lightning clones or Beast Running technique so I think I can help you, but I'll need some time to get used to it." He touches his chin thoughtfully, "first you'll have to tell me how you control the bird though."
"Ah sure", Aoi says with a happy tone.
"Ah wait, how about you Tsuchikage? Is there anything you need?"
"Oh! Boss is a lightning user too!"
"Oho? Really?" He asks rhetorically. "Try not to upstage me then Earth's Maw Izen."
"Eh, yeah. I could use some training too, to be honest."
"Anything in particular?"
"Hmm... Well I've been thinking."
A) Stargazer (Streamlined bolts of lightning from the stars) New one B) Get help with Rai- I mean, Chidori C) Get help/help with the hummingbirds D) LIGHTNING ARMOR E) Pulsar Wave (waves of lightning chakra throughout the ground, totally ripping up the ground around you in a similar manner of your signature earth spikes) New one F) Custom option

"I need something a bit more versatile. Something that can reach up into the air..."
"But you already know the hu-"
"Ah, no", you quickly cut her off. "Aoi, the hummingbird is a great technique, and you should keep working on it." You give her a pat on the back, trying to encourage her through her insecurity.
"...Okay...Well. I'm not sure how you want to do it. Lightning chakra is something that's particularly hard to control. Let me explain..."
Kakashi standing about lazily begins his explanation of how lightning chakra is directed across ranges. Something about it being easy to use when conducted to a material, but in order to use it as a controllable ranged weapon there must be opposite poles and what not.
"You could always just learn how to fire a bolt of lightning, there are tons of jutsus that do that." Hah, funny, Kakashi was actually being condescending for once.
"I bet you know quite a few Copy Ninja Kakashi", you quickly remark in jest.
"Yep, I do", he casually responds.
Speaking up, Aoi makes a smart suggestion about polarization.
"So... it would be like static?"
"Right boss. I think I can help you figure this out..."
---
Working through the afternoon your trio attempt to work on your own jutsu and Aoi's hummingbird, taking things in alternation. Unfortunately the progress doesn't go well.
"Here goes!" With Aoi launching several bolts of lightning into the sky, you impatiently await for them to burst into the sky. Next...
"Katon: Grand fireball!" Kakashi shoots up several smaller fireballs into the clouds above as well, which gradually turn darker and darker. Before long you can see they're clearly formed storm clouds, probably ready to rain once the moisture levels change.
Watching lightning arc about in the clouds, lighting them up from the inside out you gather chakra into your hand and allow a massive amount of it to flow up into the sky and the area around. "Back up."
Swinging down you aim for a remote part of the forest, much further away from your position. In a giant display of power a giant beastly shaped torrential overflow of lightning touches down with a deafening roar, luckily far away from you.
In the resulting collision the entire area seems to disappear into the light.
"Hoooo...Look at that" You excitedly remark. Not quite what you were expecting...
"I have to admit...I'm impressed..." Kakashi admits. Looking to Aoi you could she was speechless.
"Not quite what I was expecting..." You quickly remark, "I wouldn't want to use that next to myself..." Thinking about it you add, "Or anyone else."
"Maybe that would be best..."
Suddenly rain begins to fall, first in small amounts. "Ah! Boss, it's raining!"
"Well, that was quite the storm we brewed up. I think we better call it a day and go explain this..."
Looking at Kakashi you think about it, "Would it be dangerous to use lightning chakra right now?"
"Well...for others, you should be able to insulate yourself from your own chakra."
A) Continue training alone and achieve Stargazer B) Go in and explain with Kakashi what just happened C) Go in and rest (for the day) D) Go in and skip to the Sabakou meeting (next day evening) E) Free choice
I think you just learned Kirin

Note: I think in due time, we should work on Aoi's hummingbird technique. We could try to make our hummingbird bigger (for larger AoE damage), or just make thousands of little ones and direct them to specific targets.

"Right. I'm going to stay out here and train some more."
"I guess we'll go in then", Kakashi keenly complies, pocketing his hands. "Right Aoi-kun?"
"Uh...Yea! Don't stay out too long boss, you'll get sick." She warns in a hushed voice.
"Hah, thanks for the advice, but I'll be fine." Waving them off you return to your training, starting with a katon through the rain.
"Katon! Fireball style!" You shout, spitting off a large sphere of fire into the clouds, trying to amplify the storm's presence. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to go too far. "...Shoot", you mutter.
"How did she do it?" You quickly form handseals, trying to copy Aoi's seals when she fired the bolt of lightning. Luckily she went a bit slow.
With some practice you manage a small bolt into the dark storm clouds looming above. It was getting darker and darker, draping the entire area in darkness except for the arcs of lightning traveling from lobe to lobe. Trying once again you raise your fist into the air, charged with lightning chakra, "HAAAAA!" Guiding down the lightning you bring it down somewhere in the forest again, and with a beastly crack and crash you watch the flash of lightning jump into the ground and destroy the area.
"Uh..." Was that what you wanted? Maybe something more refined... Something that didn't need a thunderstorm, "Hahahaha...Yeah..." You mumble to yourself.
With some practicing you find yourself unable to think of any way around the thunder storm, and end up practicing the same thing over and over again for quite some time.
"Heyy..." Suddenly hatching a bright idea you look around for anyone and form the handseals for Aoi's Hummingbird technique. Hatching a large bird out of your hands you let it into the air and perform the shadow clone technique to multiple the thing into 8 birds. "Alright, listen up guys. I need you to break up the storm and go up into the air", you order - though they didn't understand...
"Yeah..." You throw up your hands to direct them, and they zip up into the air. Making a circle with your fingers as you watch them fly up into the air you notice that they begin spiral wider and wider, and by the time they reach the clouds they were spiraling almost like a ring.
"What the..." Before you can make sense of it a part of the storm cloud disappears, leaving only a huge bored hole for the sun to shine through. Trying to pull them back to the ground you pull your arm back, trying to extend your chakra out into the air. Repeatedly you try it, again and again and again, but nothing.
Apparently your plan failed...You wanted to send the birds into the air and bring them down like guided projectiles, but alas. Running under the giant hole in the cloud and into the bright sunlight you look straight up to see nothing. Trying once more you try to pull them back to earth, waving your hand around.
Suddenly, seeing 8 bright flashes of light, even bright for the daylight, you bring your hand down in front of you. "Hu-"
In an instant there are 8 holes in the ground before you, immediately catching your eyes. You fail to even see the 8 converging spiraling paths of light in the empty hair before you. The faint traces quickly disappear, and you only catch a glimpse of it.
"What the..." Looking around, side to side, then up, then down, you become suspicious of the scene. Crouching down you look straight into the hole and see how far they go down. Deep apparently... Forming handseals you perform a technique to feel the form of the ground...no way...
Licking your lips you raise your brows. "Wow..." You were impressing yourself, heh.
A) Keep practicing on the birds and this new technique B) Go in for lunch with Aoi and Kakashi (or whoever else you choose) C) Go in and rest (for the day) D) Go in and skip to the Sabakou meeting (next day evening) E) Free choice

Riding on your apparently new found success you keep going, practicing both the hummingbirds and this new technique more and more.
You continue working on both for several hours, until it turns to late afternoon, almost evening. It would probably be dinner time soon for most of the bunch. Luckily the storm was only spotty now, rain coming on and off in short bouts, but still coming hard when it did. The area around was muddy and dirty and you were feeling a bit ragged but able, able to continue. You tried targeting separate objects, able to split up the beams from the sky between two trees now - almost three you felt, maybe with more practice.
16 birds...that was your limit now, TWICE what you could do before. At least this trip to Konoha had immediate results you think, grinning like a mad fool before letting out a taut sigh of relief. You wipe your ragged hands on the jacket hanging from your waist and leave your hands to rest on them.
