Training.

Kari was practice her skills against some large stones. "Earth style, Mud wall", she said as she performed the symbols with her hans, the mud flew out of her mouth. It made a circle around the rocks. "Summoning Jutsu, Racoon of the tree!", the stuffed racoon jumped out of her hands, and into the giant mud wall. "Oh, I should be more careful, that took alot of chakra away from my." As the Racoon jumped in, it turned into a rock, and crushed the smaller ones, and destroying the mud wall. "Wow, I'll use him as a last resort weapon." she said to herself. She walked over to the racoon, picked it up, and let her chakra come back to her.

"Well, I have nothing more I can do here, but I do need a team, and I also need to find out about the next chunin exams.", she said as she left the training area.
