1/5 Aku stared up at the immense tower that stood before him, while in Hercule city he had heard some people talking about an old legend about some cat man who trained people if they could climb some tower out in the woods, being the impressionable youth that he is Aku decided to go check this out and through a good deal of luck stumbled upon Korin's tower. Aku did some stretching, took a couple of breaths and then launched himself at the tower, leaping into the air to get a good start, Aku manged to wrap his hands around the hard... whatever the tower was made of and began his climb.

2/5 After a few minutes of climbing that to Aku had felt like hours Aku looked up to see how far he had progressed, he had early on decided looking down would be the worst possible thing ever and now saw that looking up wasn't much of a good idea either as he now saw hoe far he had to go. "this is going to take forever..." Aku mumbled as he continued his climb

3/5 After about an hour of climbing, while he wouldn't be able to actually know how far he was up Aku had actually managed to make it half way up the tower but half is still only half and thus the half demon continued his climb. "I wish I hadn't worn my weighted clothing..." Aku said to himself as he climbed realizing how much easier it would have been to climb without adding 500kg to himself

4/5 After a bit mroe climbing Aku decided that now was a pretty good time to take another look up to see how much farther he had to go, Aku looked up to find that he could actually see his destination. Because of this Aku was greatly invigorated and began climbing faster and faster hoping to quickly reach his destination.

5/5 The rest of Aku's ascension of the tower took a total of an hour but relief washed over Aku as he pulled himself up into the part of the tower where Korin lived, once up Aku took a seat deciding to catch his breath before finding the cat man that would be teaching him.

1/30 After resting up Aku pulled himself to his feet and began wandering around korin's tower trying to find him, truth be told he had no idea what he was loking for, did this guy look like a car or a human? Perhaps he should have asked... As Aku wandered around a bumped into something while thinking, he would return his focus to the world and see a plump white cat standing before him on it's hind legs. "Oh, erm hi. I heard some people talking about this tower and they said if someone climbed it a cat would train them... erm are you that cat?" Aku asked nervously.

2/30 Korin gave a chuckle at Aku's nervousness "Calm down kid there is no need to be nervous. My name is Korin and yes I'm the one your looking for, normally people come to me seeking my mystical holy water, would that be what your looking for?" Korin said giving Aku a grin as he leaned upon his staff. Aku thought about it for a second and shrugged, he ahden't heard anything about water, all he wanted was training. "I kinda just wanted training, not water...." Aku said scratching the back of his head.

3/30 Korin let out a loud laugh at Aku's comment, it'd been a while since someone actually declined the holy water, but however that put the kid at a disadvantage so Korin decided to give him a break. "Well kid the holy water will make you incredibly powerful, I'll make you a deal though, if you can get it I'll train you also." Korin said with a grin as he revealed the jug of 'holy water' to Aku.

4/30 Aku looked at the water and at Korin sceptically, how could water make you any stronger? But Aku decided to just go with it, it would be well worth it once this was over to get the training from this guy. Since Aku was unsure how this went he decided to just go with taking the water now. He tried as fast as he could to snatch it but Korin lept back expertly dodging Aku. "So it begins" Korin said with a chuckle as he tapped his awaited Aku's next move.

5/30 Aku was a tad disheartened that he attempt had failed but then again perhaps it was better that he failed, if Korin was fast then perhaps this whole getting the water thing would make for some good training also. Aku dashed forward as fast as he could at Korin intending to take the cat by surprise, Korin however remained calm and simply sidestepped Aku at the last minute cayseing Aku to slam into a large clay pot.

6/30 Removing himself from the remnants of the pot Aku locked his gaze onto Korin, the cat was fast.. Aku needed to be faster, he didn't however think to remove the weights that were so hindering his speed, he simply made another dash, once again Korin sidestepped Aku but this time Aku had anticipated the sidestap and quickly turned and lept at Korin only to fall through an after image.

7/30 Aku growled as he pulled himself to the feet, Korin was even trickier than he had thought and probably a lot more powerful than he seemed if it could o something like the after image. Aku took a few breaths and looked around the room trying to find Korin as he did so he also made a mental layout of the room so that if need eb he could just make one huge mad dash through the room trying to catch Korin.

8/30 Aku finally spotted Korin, he had been standing in the corner of the room sipping ac cup of tea while waiting for Aku to realize his location, Aku growled angrily and bolted at Korin with all the speed he could muster, Korin looked up at Aku once he was close and then lept over the half demon, Aku however managed to switch gears quickly and turned in time to see Korin land. "I've gotcha now!" he yelled as he started running in the opposite direction.

9/30 Korin was surprised at how fast Aku had switched his pursuit and grinned as the half demon made yet another mad dash after him, he let Aku get close this time before quickly after imaging away. Aku let out yet another growl as he lept through another after image and landed flat on his face.

1. Shiro landed on Korin's tower. Korin himself was sitting at his table, eating one of his loved red snapper. The feline grabbed a napking and wiped his lip before grabbing his staff and walking over to Shiro.

The three star dragon ball is here.
To get it, spend 13 posts climbing and searching all around the tower. Remember that your dragon radar does not account for the third dimension, height. So this will be rather annoying to find. It's actually at the top, where you would use Korin's power pole to reach the Lookout.
The dragonball can be found thirty five minutes after this post.

Korin stopped about ten feet from Shiro. "So, you've finished your training on the Lookout?"
Shiro nodded. "Yeah, and I've returned like you told me."

3. Korin nodded. "Well then, let me see." And the cat started walking around Shiro, looking him over. Suddenly he stopped and nodded. "Yeah, I think you're ready."
Shiro rose an eyebrow. "Ready for what?"

12/1
Cajabe arrives hovering somewhere near the base of Korin's Tower, staring at his radar... but then at the tower... and then his radar again... "What the...?"

4. Korin didn't reply right away, instead walking over to a cupboard where a small jar of water was. he took it out and hung it from a cord on the tip of his staff. He then turned to Shiro, who had stood where he was, and said, "This water will make you stronger. But to drink it, you have to catch me first."

13/2
He drops down to his feet, and takes a breath, relaxing himself to try to counter the strain of his transformation. He then looks around... there's a tent nearby... "Hmm..."

14/3
Cajabe's power would be clearly sensed by Shiro, but thanks to his weights, he'd seem nothing too powerful just now...
He would head over to the tent... good thing no-one's home or they'd get a punch to the face or something. He peers his head inside the empty tent.

5. Shiro rose his eyebrow again. "Water that makes the drinker stronger, why don't I believe that?"
Korin shrugged. "After talking to green men and a talking cat, I don't know."

15/4
He steps inside the tent and begins to rummage his way through everything... he kicks over beds, pulls drawers out (while accidentally crushing them due to lack of control over super saiyan). He tears the whole place apart, throwing belongings everywhere, and breaking just about everything breakable... but no Dragon Ball.

6. Shiro could sense a rather strong power down below, but didn't know who it was. He ignored it, and answered Korin. "Good point. All I have to do is catch you, right?" The cat nodded.

16/5
Cajabe roars in anger, and blows the tent off using his aura, while sending the contents of the tent flying all around... when the guardian gets back from fishing he's going to be soooo upset. "WHERE THE HELL IS IT?"

7. Without warning, Shiro pounced, after imaging straight at Korin. He collided with the table, having gone straight through Korin's after image, turned to glare at the cat, who was currently sitting on a shelf and laughing.

17/6
Cajabe looks around, and walks over to trees and bushes, grabbing hold of them and ripping them from the ground, giving them each a heavy shake to dislodge anything that may be caught in the branches, and then tossing them away. Soon the whole area around Korin's Tower is uprooted, with everything tossed up in to a pile where the tent was. "Damnit!"

Shiro disappeared again, reappearing behind Korin. However, he disappeared again immediately after, appearing about five feet to Korin's right, expecting the cat to run straight at him. Korin, however, didn't move.

18/7
Cajabe gives up, and hurls a blast of ki at the pile of plantlife... incinerating it in an instant to ashes. There's no Dragon Ball in the ashes... he didn't miss anything. "That just leaves this stupid tower."
