Amegakure (Village Hidden in Rain)

[Anthony Sky]

Here is where all events taking place in the Amegakure are posted. You can walk around and associate with others, chill, or have epic battles. Have fun.

[Kimen]

A destructive chakra pierced through the air. The chakra was so powerful it would send weak knees on their collapsing state. Kimen walked out from behind a random, ragged building. Each footstep he took sent a knife of pain lunging through the villagers' heads, at least that's what the pressure felt like. Kimen didn't bother to compress his chakra as he walked, he just dared anyone try to touch him. Kimen always thought highly of himself, this time was no different. People in the village normally feared him as he walked by.

Kimen walked through the levels of Amegakure, stopping at a familiar place. It was the tallest building in Amegakure, the same place the leader of the old legendary Akatsuki, Pein, hung out at. Kimen walked inside of the building, further elevating inside until he was standing at the top of the building, walking on the tongue of the twisted looking face that made little kids cry, then again Kimen's face did that too. He stood on the tip of the tongue, looking down at the village. All he seemed to see were ants that needed to be exterminated. Kimen held up his closed fist into the air, as a small surge of hellfire began building around his fist like an aura.

"The day of reckoning draws near. The world will see isolation, and the flames of hell will forever sink into the core of the ninja nation, where they are to remain."

[Kaizor]

A black cloaked man with devlish symbols engraved on the cloak briskly walked toward Kimen, whom was standing at the tongue of the tower. He was wearing his hood on his head, concealing his identity. He walked behind Kimen slowly, careful not to disturb him.

"Kimen-sama. We've found it...we've found the blood. It was recovered in a major body of water just outside of the borders of Yukigakure. I have collected it and have it stored now. When do we begin?"

[GangstaKage]

Rikudou was back in the village.The sun rose above the horizon as it ussually did though it didn't seem to glow as brightly today.Large puffy clouds dotted the horizon.Grey thunderheads that through rain towards the ground......almost constantly in a place like that....Bored out of his mind he was sitting throwing numerous kunai at a tree post when suddenly!A large weight was pushing down on him.He struggled to stand up.A wave of malevolent evil flowed from somewhere nearby.He glanced towards where it cam from.In the distance he saw two small black figures standing there.He felt a strange surge of hatred and hostility towards the two people though he didn't know why.Rikudou hated nearly the entire village of Amegakure though he loved the rain.The sweet smell of it that it brought when it poured from the sky.......He was lost in his own thoughts.He not without trouble begain to walk away.He knew he couldn't fight them anyway.

[Kimen]

The wind blew in Kimen's face with great patterns. The wind was unusually strong today in Amegakure. He didn't turn around, but he smiled wickedly, one that could only be matched by Satan himself, but again his mask was covered, and this time, he had it fixed after the battle in Kumorigakure. His mask was whole again. He turned his yellow gleaming eyes of hatred around, along with his head slightly tilted toward the hooded man's way.

"Great. Report to the lab in the basement of my hideout immediantly. We have important matters to discuss..." Kimen said with a hiss, as he disappeared, leaving only a trail of flames from hell behind...

[Kaizor]

The man nodded, and disappeared in a flash of red light that shined brightly throughout the building.

[Anthony Sky]

A young Gennin walked through a crowed street his Amegakure head banned with drops of rain on it his light brown hair slightly wet from the rain and his pure blue eyes looked worn out.For this bot had just spent all day training his name was Tie Uro. He thought to himself 'I will pass the Gennin exams next time for sure' Tie grined at the fact of how much stronger he had become sense the chunnin exams.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga sat back in his comfortable office chair with his feet resting on his desk, which he ordered when he became Sonchou of Amegakure not so long ago. He ignored the high chakra he felt as it was soon gone from his presence, he placed his hand to the back of his head, turning his attention to the paper work that seemed to be finished on the desk awaiting an Anbu to come and take it back to the elders or whoever it belonged to. "Hmm nice day today outside it surely is," he said, calmly with a slight smirk across his face.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga rose out of his chair and looked out the window to see the rain continue to fall. He thought to himself.."I wonder what the kages are up too, maybe should check out Kumogakure.." He flicked a handseal quickly and his body began to become disoriented, while it created static he disappeared into thin air.

Along his walls layed a powerful fuuinjutsu and on the back of the door. This would alert him if anyone entered into his room and would put the person in a powerful hypnosis.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga appeared on the largest building in Amegakure, he stood on the tongue of the strangely designed building, he looked down at his villagers while rain still began to fall, but his hands flew into another blur of handseals and the Fuuinjutsu was disbursed from his walls, it burned into flames right before disappearing.

"Hmm it's come for the time of the day for rain to take its leave, and for the sun to shine through." His flew into other seal, and the rain suddenly stopped and the clouds separated, the sun rays pierced through the village and the Amegakure shined in beauty.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu was on top of a building approximately 450 feet from the Soucho's jutsu. He smiled and said to himself very sinisteringly.

"Perfect."

Hitsu jumed from building to building and landed on a building behind the Soucho's building. Tatsuga's back was facing Hitsu. He pulled 2 3-pronged kunais (Kunai Stock = 8). With the oter hand he made many hand seals and imeedietly following that heavy rain fall began. Upon the rain contact with the earths warm ground mist lifted and then Hitsu jumped to the base streets. And began to plan his next move.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga looked down at the mist that was growing through the village and began to think, "Hmm why is their mist growing something must be wrong." He jumped down from the building landing on the lowest building in the village and slouched down looking at the mist, he formed some seals as wind began to swirl around him violently and he swung his hand as the mist cleared up part of the village bringing some buildings into his view of sight.."Come out wherever you are stranger."

[Vindicate]

Three three pronged kunais flew from the remaining mist and were only too feet away from Tatsuga. Then two more from behind then two more from above. He only escape was his left.

[SunnyWave]

He made instantaneous handseals as his body began to destabilized in the air and he quickly disappeared as the kunai collided with one other, while the remained landed onto the house. He appeared back on the tall tower with the twisted tongue and looked down at the mist.."Stop being a coward and come out."

[Vindicate]

OOC: Will you be on at 9: If not shit if yes sweet see you then and we can rp gotta go for now.

[SunnyWave]

Ooc: Yea I will

[Vindicate]

Hitsu stood in the mist and waited.

Suddenly he came from behind with his Bon Ryu drew the silk wrapping waving in the wind. He came down hard and fast with it!

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga ran his hand to his blade attached to his shash, he pulled it out immediately as wind surrounded it in an instance as his blade blocked that of Bon Ryu, he turned around bringing the stranger sword down to waist length though the swords remained locked together. "Why have you attacked me if your in the same village?"

[Vindicate]

Hitsu said nothing as he pushed against Tatsuga's blade.

Then from the mist another Hitsu had a Bon Ryu brought over his head and brought it down!

[SunnyWave]

The blade Tatsuga was holding swirled with wind violently as it pushed off both blades and sent the man backwards a few feet away from him. He swung his blade down sending a tornado at the man at vast speeds. Tatsuga slammed the blade into the ground doing a blurr of handseals, "Fuuton: Tatsumaki Katto Kaze!" another more violent tornado span out from his blade ripping up the roof of the building combing with the other tornado to create a bigger tornado that connected with the clouds, charging directly at the stranger.

[Vindicate]

Hitsumi was ripped apart when suddenly the tornado started spurting water. Suddenly the mist got thicker. Nothing was visible. Tatsuga would have to rely on his senses. Suddenly an arm shot out of the mist approaching Tatsuga's person.

[SunnyWave]

Suddenly in the mist Tatsuga formed some hand seals, as the man grabbed onto his shoulder his body melted into a metal liquid and he appeared standing over the mist on a metal plate that hovered in the air. His sword remained in the floor as instantly his hands was in another set of seals, and a harsh wind flew out from his sword through the village clearing the mist revealing the man as he stood there. Tatsuga looked down as he crouched down from where he was standing just looking at the man.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu was in two places. On the building of the Soucho's office and when in an alley way behind the building on the base street. Hardly visible. The Hitsu that was visible however, though, stared back up to the man and for the first time said something.

"I am Hitsugame Ukino. I want to detach myself from his putrid village. Do you know why, you horrible excuse for a Soucho?" he spat.

[SunnyWave]

"So detach i never asked you to stay and you consider your self any better, and no i don't know why tell me? Tatsuga stood still on the metal looking down at the man.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu, looked up and smiled.

"I was turned down by INS." he said.
"I was told they already have a member from Amegakure. So I don't need it, I need to detach myself. I tell myself, If I cannot be a INS member then I want to be something, and Soucho will be it. Hitsu lunged from his position at Tatsuga.

[SunnyWave]

"And you think i'll hand it over to you just like that." Tatsuga rose his hands as a hugh metal ball rose infront of him, it then proceeded to shoot out several liquid strands at the man.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu blocked each of the streams with his Bon Ryo when suddenly another Hitsu came from behind!

"Water Prison Jutsu!" suddenly water came from the air (logically their is still moisture in the air from the rain that Hitsu caused) and started to surround Tatsuga.

OOC: MAKE YOUR MOVE, DUDE!

[SunnyWave]

The metal ball shot out strands toward Tatsuga covering him as he melted in the metal, the liquid shot up from his metal through the water at him. Several feet away metal liquid crawl through a crack in the roof of a house reforming back into Tatsuga as he watched on.

[Vindicate]

The liquid shot threw the water and pierced Hitsu several times in the the torso. The Hitsu on the platform dissipated into water and ran off the platform. The Hitsu that was blocking the streams of liquid landed safely on the base street levels and put the Bon Ryu on his back. Hitsu weaved in-and-out of complicated hand signs and then the rain began to fall heavily again.

"Rain Mist Jutsu!" he shouted from the streets. The rain poored heavily on the ground and atop of buildings. No missed came up because of the rain that cooled the earth from the previous use of the jutsu. No, Hitsu didn't need Mist, he was about to unleash his strongest jutsu.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga stood on the roof ahead looking down at the man, he made quick seals as liquid shot up behind the man and the one that was standing on the streets, he stood ready for any attack this stranger was about to use.

[Vindicate]

Quickly Hitsu put his hand on the hilt of the sword and did a back swing with the blade the liquid fell to the ground cut in halve. Hitsu jumped backwards. And his feet landed on the wall of the building he then jumped from the wall onto the top of the building across from it sliding a few feet. He then made some hand-seals.

"Water Concentration Jutsu!" Hitsu screamed from the building top. Suddenly a tremendous sould of rushing water was heard from above Tatsuga. With enough force to crush any human. Hitsu then followed-up by coming at Tatsuga by jumping from building to building.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga hands flew into aset of hand seals,"Fuuton: Kaze Doragon!" Suddenly the wind blew harsh forming a dragon the size of the water that shot forth at incredible speeds weaving its way around the water crushing it as it caused an explosion, his sword flew towards Tatsuga hands grabbing onto it, after proceeding to swing it at him sending a cutting wave at him that hid miniature blades of wind in it that if hit, it would cut all over that particular body part.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu brought his sword in front of him and the mini-swords bounced off with a clank "Water Concentration Jutsu!" he repeated. Two concentrated downpours formed a funnel and shot down at Tatsuga.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga hands made a loud clap as it could be heard through the village, as liquids of metal clumped together that shot out at the water as twin metal dragons which collided with the water, but they kept their form. They then flew through the air as they shot down at the man at mind-boggling speeds.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu jumped from building to building avoiding their twisted formation and finally came to the back of the Soucho.

"I surrender." he whispered in the ear of Tatsuga. And he set his Bon Ryu on his back and stood straight and stared at him.

[SunnyWave]

"Are you sure?" the twin dragons that destroyed the building in failed attempt to hit the stranger reformed into a solid clone of Tatsuga who walked over to the man with an extended hand. "Truths?" He exclaimed, while smiling at the man still though not full-heartly .

[Vindicate]

"Of course not!" Hitsu spit on Tatsuga's shoes. "I was merely testing my abilities of the supposed champion of the rain." Hitsu reached behind his head and untied his hitai-ate, holding the metal part face up in his palm. He quickly drew a three-pronged kunai from his holster and pulled his arm up and slashed quickly and left a deep gash in the head protector of the gear across the 5 horizontal line that were carved in that showed his alliegence.

"No more," said Hitsu softly. "No more." Hitsu turned around his back facing Tatsuga he retied his Hitai-Ate and jumped from the roof of the building and flickered away.

[SunnyWave]

The clone didn't react, but disbursed into tiny liquid particals that soon vanised into thin air. The real Tatsuga stood atop the small house roof smiling as his village took minimal damage and flickered atop the twisted tongue with crossed legs looking down at his village as a small bird of metal flew throughout the village.

[Vindicate]

Hitsu had put his mask back on, posing as a Rain Anbu. When he passed the large opened gates of Amegakure he ran past a few houses. Only a select few knew the location of Makago ENTRANCE!

OOC: Chronic, I hope this is okay.

The select few. including Hitsu, knew where it was but dared not go in. For their were rumors that had flew, that only pain and misery await in the door.

Hitsu stopped in a four way intersection of dirt and stopped to think. E-east? West? No... Hitsu snapped his fingers. He ran to the left and came to crumbled buildings that had been abandoned for awhile. He crossed a broken wall and saw a door...

EDIT - So everyone knows, but you CHARACTER can't know, because, well you don't know, I digress, Hitsu is outside the Magako's door reference to the Magako Hideout thread.

[SunnyWave]

A cloaked man with a hood overshadowing his mask that was embroiled with a tiger, the man walked behind the Sonchou as he bowed onto one knee with his hand resting on that same knee. "Excuse me Lord Sonchou, but while on my search for Hitsu I found nothing, but I did find some trails that seemly lead back to here. Do you want me to go check that out?

"You can raise from your feet and thank you for your services, but you don't have to call me Lord. You can simply refer to me as Tatsuga." He sighed while sitting down watching over his village, twirling a strand of his hair as he continued.."And to add to that, you won't be able to stand a chance alone out their we should wait for reinforcements."

The cloaked man got up and nodded at the Tatsuga comments.."Its a pleasure to be in your presence." His hands flew into multiple seals, before flickering away in electricity.

Tatsuga arose from his sitting position, before disappearing from the twisted face building. He appeared back in his office chair, as he scanned his office noticing the smooth carpet that stretched through the floor with a heat warmer under it. He formed more seals, before placing a Fuuinjutsu on the door that'll let a person pass through the door without knocking, similar to phasing through a wall. This seal would also set of a dome around his office within a 12m radius, this would alert him if anyone would try an attack. He sat back in his chair with his legs rested upon his desk, pulling his head back he begun to sleep.

[Kaizor]

A flash of blue lightning instantly appeared at the gates of Amegakure. It was raining today, not hard, but hard enough. Ryukazi looked up at the sky as the raindrops poured on his him. He seemed to be waiting for someone...

[GangstaKage]

There was a cackling sound as black fire appeared infront of the rainy gates of Amegakure. It distorted to form Ryo standing there. The three katana strapped to his waist and his deathly Itamigan eyes gave him a menacing look. He waited for the other INS members to arrive.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko appeared next Ryukazi, some sand around his feet as he smiled Where are the others, Skikage wouldnt send you alone, so who all is on there way here Hiko felt the handle of his blade making sure it was still there, when Ryo appeared Hey Ryo

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga awoke as he felt two presence outside of his village, he appeared right by his door removing the Fuuinjutsu that covered the village in a barrier. Suddenly time folded around Tatsuga, as he stepped inside the portal as it closed appearing instantly infront of the two Ins member scratching his head.."So you two must be Ins?"

[schrodinger]

sudenly raki apeered from thin air with a swirling white light, and landed directly on top of.....ryo..... "Opps...sorry...." rakki said, quickly getting off..... "That new justsu isnt as precise as i hoped....." he said....... then backed out of ryo's sword range just in case.....

Then rakki loked over at the new arival (tatsuga).... "Oh, me to me to......im an ins too....." he said, exitedly......

[Edited]

[Kaizor]

Ryukazi turned toward Ryo and Hiko. "Actually I came here on my own accord. I had a feeling INS would show up alongside with me..." Ryukazi said, staring inside of Amegakure. Ryukazi was a little excited. He smiled childishly. "Today, Makago ends. Has the rest of INS been sent here as well?"

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled I think we are waiting on Kinyoubi, but he will be a while we might as well proced he will catch up

[SunnyWave]

"Well I can point each of you towards their hideout." Tatsuga moved his hand inside of his cloak, pulling out a scroll with a blue ribbon on it, "This could take us instantly there if you'd like."

[GangstaKage]

"Sup?" Ryo said blandly and cooly. Then he turned to Tatsuga... "Yes we're INS" he said quietly and dejectedly.

[Nyanki]

Kinyoubi appeared behind them. "I'm sorry. I ended up somewhere else."

He suddenly looked serious, taking in the situation at hand.

[GangstaKage]

"I think he should stay here...." Ryo gestured to Rykazi.... "No hard feelings but they want you dead. There going to be targetting you. OF course with them concentrating on you it would be easier to kill them but the safest route would be to leave you here with the Sonchou you have valuable information to us that would be lost if you were to die."

[SunnyWave]

"All of you are going to go by yourself or you want me to direct you there." Tatsuga looked at all of them, before a small breeze flew through the trees making a brushing noise in the wind.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled please teleport us there and take Ryukazi with you, in case they get past us, and Ryo does have a point they will try and kill you and it will be harder to guard you and fight sorry Ryukazi

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga unwrapped the blue ribbon scroll, placing it onto the floor opening it completely. He bite his finger letting blood drip down his thumb, writing on ancient writings on it with a circle in the middle, "Okay before we go there, I need each of you to drip your blood on the scroll in the middle of the scroll, so we can go there if that's okay."

[schrodinger]

rakki groaned....but slit his pinky finger with a kunai.. and let a blooddrop drip onto the middle of the scroll...

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: schroo, link up

ic:

Hiko smiled and cut his thumb blood driping into the middle of the scroll as he whatched the others do the same as he smiled Ok we are ready lets go

ooc:
dont feel like listening to everyone slit there thumbs

[SunnyWave]

"Alrighty then here we go." Tatsuga formed a long process of hand seals, then proceeded to slam both his hands to the floor. The blood of the others including Tatsuga began to glow bright green as a steam arose from the blood, flowing into the midst of thin air opening up a portal that revealed Kimen's hide-out, "There you go just go through that and it'll lead you there."

[schrodinger]

Raki let out a strange nonsensical stream of words and dives head first into the portal.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko walked through the portal and waited for the others to catch up

[Nyanki]

Kinyoubi jogged ahead. He was getting in the zone now, as a smile creeped across his face. "Wahahaha!" he laughed as he passed through.

[SunnyWave]

As soon as everyone left for Mashin, the portal closed shut behind them as the blood resided back into the scroll causing it to close immediately. Tatsuga got up from the ground and looked at Ryuzaki, "So what do you want to do now since your stuck with me i guess."

[Kaizor]

Ryukazi walked outside of Tatsuga's office, where he had been ever since the Makago incident arose. Ryukazi couldn't help but think something wasn't right. He looked around the village, surveying it. He wasn't quite sure what he was looking for, but he had to find something interesting, and he did.

As Ryukazi glanced at Amegakure's gates, a man walked inside. The man looked very intimidating, and actually looked a bit like Ryukazi, except more demonic and devilish looking. He was carrying a strange scythe that had a skull merged on the back of it. Blood stains appeared to be marked on his clothes. What the hell was this guy? He overlal looked very intimidating, not someone you want to piss off. Ryukazi didn't care though he found this guy interesting. Ryukazi jumped off of the roof of the office, and ran steadily toward the man, keeping careful not to let it be known he was tracking him.

The strange man walked behind an abandned building in the village. Ryukazi took interest in this, he obviously was hiding something. As the man turned around at Ryukazi's direction once, Ryukazi quickly hid behind the closest building using his impressive speed. When the man seemed no longer suspicous of anyone following him, he performed a set of unique hand signs. An underground chamber door opened up slowly, bringing the dirt from the ground with it. The man jumped inside. Ryukazi took charge when the time was right, and ran right after the man, jumping inside...where could they be headed now.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga was behind Ryuzaki instantly keeping up at the same pace with him so quite that only Ryuzaki could of heard him, "You aren't going to leave me behind now are you?" He said, while his hair swayed back and forth in the wind.

[Jackums]

Someone walked through the streets of Amegakure. They wore a dark emerald hooded cloak. Rain poured down, although the cloak somehow managed to stay reasonably dry. Maybe it was the fabric it was made out of. A radiant green hair showed slightly, hanging out of the hood. It was quite long. The figure looked quite femanine. It was easy to see that they were female. Concealed by the cloak were emerald eyes. This was none other, than Natsumi Akira.

People ran through the streets, covering their heads with various objects. Natsumi made her way, walking at a steady pace. She was headed somewhere. She continued walking until she came to an alleyway, behind a house. As she arrived at the back entrance, the door opened. Someone must've been expecting her. But what was she doing in Amegakure in the first place? She walked into the room, coming to a halt. It was dim, and candlelit. A man dressed in an ANBU outfit stood by a table. The table was quite large, and had a cloth over it. It was easy to see that there was something under the cloth.

Natsumi removed her hood, revealing her face to the ANBU. She waited expectantly. The ANBU made a slight nod, then grasped the cloth covering the table. He pulled it off it a dramatic motion, revealing six bodies. They looked like average shinobi. Some wore Iwagakure headbands, and some had Amegakure headbands. They looked dead, but still in tact. They must have only recently passed..

"You've managed to fulfil your duties once again. Thankyou. Jesse will be pleased. This will assist Hakumei in their goals for the future, and hasten our plans."

Natsumi then placed her hood back over her head, once again concealing her identity.

"It is my honour, Lady Akira. I'm glad to help the legendary Snow Sannin and Hakumei, anyway I can."

The ANBU then pulled out a medium sized scroll and unrolled it on the floor, in front of the bodies. He placed his hand in the center. "Sealing Techique!", the bodies then disappeared in a cloud of smoke as they were stored in the scroll. The ANBU then rolled the scroll up, and handed it to Natsumi, bowing his head in respect.

Natsumi took the scroll and placed it under her cloak. She nodded as she walked out the door. Soon after, she re-emerged from the alley, and continued walking down the streets. What was going on..?

[Anthony Sky]

A gentle voice came from behind Natsumi 'Hello' There stood a women with long and extremely graceful and gorgeous silver hair that flowed slightly with the breeze She had magnificent icy purple eyes full of peace and warmth. It was Kaiyo Hatake Juudaime Hokage it just happened she was hear with a fraind having a small meeting with tea .

[Jackums]

Natsumi was annoyed she was held up. Her anger boiled a little, until she recognised the voice. She calmed down and turned around, looking at Kaiyo with a questionable look. Their beauty practically equal.

"Kaiyo Hatake.. Hello"

She looked at Kaiyo, not sure if she had seen or heard what Natsumi was just doing. She stared at her, with a slight hint of competition in her eyes. Although she held a friendly smile.

[Anthony Sky]

Kaiyo smiled with warmth admiring Natsumi youth and beauty she walked closer so there where only few feet away from one another 'So is it normal for Amegakure ANBU agent to interact with Ninja of another village...but I am surely hoping there is nothing to it' Kaiyo said with warmth and peace in her gentile tone. She walk closer holding her hands together down in front of herself. ' I have small request I have some serious matters that I most discuses with Jesse things only his ears my be allowed to hear so I wish for you to bring me to him' Kaiyo still had gentile and peaceful demeanor her skin so soft pure it had a natural glow to it.

[Jackums]

Natsumi remained with a strong expression. She could tell Kaiyo didn't mean any trouble. She paused in silence as she looked at her. Her expression then became somewhat more gentle as she made a nod.

"I'll have to contact him first. To make sure of a secure location.. I'm sure you understand."

After speaking she pulled out a small scroll from under her robes. She unrolled it on the ground as a small cloud of smoke appeared. As it was blown away, a tiny wooden bird was revealed. Natsumi must've constructed it. This was one of the only things that could pass the protective barriers around the hideout. And it was quite fast.

Natsumi pulled out a tiny fraction of paper, writing a message on it. She then folded it, and opened a small latch on the back of the bird. She placed the letter inside the bird, and held it out on her palm. As she did, it flew up into the sky. She then turned her gaze back to Kaiyo.

"We should have a reply within an hour.. Then you can see Jesse. But for now, follow me. It will take less time if we travel half way."

[Anthony Sky]

Kaiyo watched the wooden bird fly away slightly impressed with its speed. Kaiyo then walked up and next to Natsumi with smile and her eye shot it was simple smile of Joy and respect folded into one. 'That is fine and most understandable..So then I will simply follow you' Kaiyo said as she waved her hand out slightly showing she was ready to follow Natsumi to wherever.

Kaiyo was not sure where they would be going but she was positive it must be a secure location to need a messenger bird to give advanced authorization.

[Jackums]

Natsumi nodded, glad that Kaiyo understood, and had no objections. She made a half smiled, and turned forward. She then swiftly jumped forward, slicing through the air as she jumped across rooftops. Although she was quite unnoticeable through the pouring rain. She expected Kaiyo to follow, and she was confident she could keep up.

[Anthony Sky]

Kaiyo followed and quickly was neck and neck with Natsumi. For what she lacked in physical strength she made up for in nimbleness and speed. Kaiyo's feet would barley touch the ground with each step they where quick and light only the tips of her toes coming in contact with the ground.

[Anthony Sky]

Much later.


Tie Uro walked along the street with slight sad look in his eyes he still had not yet become as strong as he need to be. To become chunnin.

[Anthony Sky]

Three Figures appeared at the Sonchou building one was no other then the Raikage him self with two body guards also his students Joben Osaka Head of Kumo tracking force and Kentaro Niigata Head of Kumo police force. The Raikage said quietly and calmly ' You two stay' The Raikage then walked into the building alone.

He made his way to the Ame Sonchou office he knocked once ' Tatsuga Shonaime It is Seigi Takahashi the Raikage I have come to talk' The Raikage remembered the the young Sonchou from the Kages meeting.

[SunnyWave]

The door in front of him opened up by itself allowing him entrance into the Sonchou's office. "Welcome I've heard you wanted to talk to me. What matters concern you sir?" He stood facing the window, but with his hands behind his back, while starring outside the window overlooking everyone that entered the village. The room atmosphere itself was rather calm and serene, a heartwarming aroma could be felt throughout the whole village; it was none other than Tatsuga spirit looming over the village.

[Anthony Sky]

The Raikage walked in his hands behind him slightly hunched over showing his age. He looked to the young Sonchou the Raikage did not take seat ' I am sure you have already herd the Kumo has cut all relations with Kiri Suna and Konoha...I have no plan in doing the same for the Ame I have always looked to the Ame as a ally and friend So I ask you now Tatsuga Shonaime will you join the Kumo and the Yuki in a alliance against the Kiri Suna and Konoha to achieve the goal of having a central Village that leads all Shinobi villages into to prosperity and peace..Image the world with out war , no more pointless deaths , No more starving children..That is what will be archived under central village' The Raikage spoke calmly and with passion as his light dole eyes watched Tatsuga. In complete truth the Raikage only made a alliance with the Yuki for the safety of his own village the Kumo for he fears what would happen if all the Yuki looked to destroy the Kumo he had sacrificed his soul and all his moral for the safety of the Kumo and its poeple.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga raised an eyebrow before turning to face the Raikage, but his hands remained firmly behind his back. "Yes I've been informed that Kumo cut all ties with the other four villages, but sure I'll be more than happy to form an alliance with you. And that goal of yours does sound great and hopefully it can be accomplished." Tatsuga face showed seriousness while gazing upon the Raikage, despite his shortness due to his age. "So what will happen to the other four villages in this case?"

[Anthony Sky]

The Raikage eyes narrowed ' I thank you...As for the villages that stand in the way of peace and prosperity will be moved by forces..I give you my word only those who fight will be hurt ' The Raikage turned to the door 'I most be getting back to the Kumo I have been gone for to long if you ever need anything simple send word' The Raikage then made a hand sign and he was gone so were his gaurds standing out side.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga smiled at the thought, while the door closed in front of him with an attached Fuuinjutsu attached to it. He formed a hand seal causing static electricity to form around him, and than he disappeared from his office. If anyone else needed to find him, he would be on top of the large monstrous building Nagato created years ago. The village atmosphere still remained calm, while the Sonchou sat quietly on top of the building eating an apple.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ANNOUNCEMENT

"ATTENTION DEPARTED SHINOBI. YOUR LORD HOKAGE REQUESTS YOU TO RETURN TO KONOHA IMMEDIATELY. HE BELIEVES NOW IS THE TIME TO RE-OPEN IT TO THE WORLD. YOUR RETURN IS NECASSARY TO PREPARE. IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE MADE, AND DEFENSES DOUBLED. YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TIME TO RETURN TO KONOHA, AND YOU MUST REPORT TO THE HOKAGE TREE. ANY FAILURE TO RESPOND WILL BE TREATED AS AN ACT OF INSUBORDINATION, AND WILL BE DEALT WITH AS SUCH BY YOUR HOKAGE.

[Jetkid]

Through the mist emerged two shinobi. They were young, but clearly experienced. The two looked very similar, and they were, in fact, siblings. The woman's name was Shui, and the man's Yu. With a nod from Yu, they disappeared. A short while later they appeared at the village gates. They hadn't really done any recon, so they weren't sure how much resistance they would face. Their plan was to fight their way towards the tallest tower, where the Sonchou should be. They would take him out as soon as they could, then eliminate any other threat before trashing the village. Although they wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who got in their way, the civilians haven't done anything wrong, so they would be spared.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The two guards at the gate immediately straightened and looked at the two people. Both were about 18 of age, so they couldn't be any more than jounin. Can we help you? One of the guards seemed to be slightly more muscly than his other guard counterpart. The thin, and brittle looking one, was the one asking questions though.

[Jetkid]

Both shinobi plunged a hand into a bag on their waste, and withdrew an Amegakure headband, but the symbol had a line scratched through it. They each tied them on their foreheads; they were now ready to take their revenge.
The man, with a burst of incredible speed, flashed over to the bigger man, and swung an upwards kick at his jaw. In a short fraction of a second, the women weaved several hand seals, then stamped her left foot against the ground. Water burst forth from it and rushed at the smaller man as a slicing jet. It was an A-Rank technique called Mizu Kamikiri ( Rising Water Cutter). Both stayed silent as they attacked.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The bigger man was caught slightly off guard taking the kick to the face, but as he did he shoved his hand out, sending a current of lightning at the man. As he did that he shoved his other hand up, sending a flare of lightning that would alert the Sonchou.

As the wave of water came towards the thinner man, he formed handseals at an even faster pace than some S-class. A giant wall of earth rose up in front of him with three dragon heads on it. Still weaving handseals, the dragon mouths opened up and fired out hundreds of mud projectiles at the female ninja.

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

The sonchou saw the flare from his office, and knew what was coming. He immediately sent an anbu guard off to get a letter going to the INS for two members of backup. Though the letter wouldn't arrive for at least an hour, the village could be held until then.

[Jetkid]

The bigger man was caught slightly off guard taking the kick to the face
So did the kick connect...? :huh:

IC: The cap on the bag on Shui's back was flung outward, and water exploded out of the bag. It encircled Shui, blocking the mud bullets. All the surrounding water, even the light rain, rushed towards her enemy at an amazing speed, from every angle.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: yes he was kicked in the face xD

ic:

The little man was a bit shocked at this attack, but he wasn't guarding the gates for nothing. He continued his string of handseals, causing the solid wall to bend back and form into a dome of spiky earth that blocked the attack, but not before one lone attack came through scraping the mans chest. He continued his seals from inside the dome and suddenly it shattered as he slammed his hands on the ground causing it to shake and spikes of earth made from the shattered dome to rush the women. If she could just dodge, the boy would have no counter attack.

[Jetkid]

Yu's kick sent the burly man flying several dozen feet in the air. Sending chakra through his legs, he jumped up to him, but suddenly stopped right beneath him. Things would be moving in slow motion for him, but nor for Yu as he moved his arms to wrap around him.
After a few hand seals, Shui blew out a jet of water from her mouth to act as a barrier from the incoming incoming attack. It was a simple yet strong tech called Suijinheki - Water Encampment Wall. The rocks stopped about half of the water, but around a dozen smaller jets were making their way towards the enemy, and would arrive very quickly.
After a few more hand seals, water formed into 10 spheres, then condensed several times and shifted into drills. The began spinning at rapid speeds and shot out at amazing speeds. Suigadan - Water Fang Projectile was an even more basic attack, but with this many it would be hard to defend against, especially combined with her previous counterattack.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The burly man snapped back up spinning in mid air, he knew his companion was about to be defeated. He spun in the air, sticking his foot out aiming to kick Yu back down to the ground, for such a big man he still had great speed in which he could attack with. He charged raiton chakra around his body as he spun, making himself even more deadly.

The small man wove handsigns, but to no avail. He was caught dead on and shredded to bits by the attacks of Shui, as the water cleared, the man lay there bruised, cut and more importantly dead. Though he had bought enough time to bring more guards to the gates. Now three anbu stood there. Two male, and one female in the middle. As the three appeared two eagles flew out over the village, one heading in the direction of Kumogakure and the other for the INS.

[Jetkid]

Thanks to his Mizu no Yoroi (Armour of Water), Yu survived the attack, though his abdomen would be bruised in a few hours. The lightning sent a shock through his system, so he didn't exactly land on his feet. Thankfully, Shui sent water to him, which cushioned his fall at the last moment.
Shui let loose a torrent of water straight at the enemy. His lightning wouldn't help him now, that's for sure. She was aiming to trap him using Mizu Kyuu (Water Coffin), then crush him, though he'd certainly have no idea of that.
Shui was also aware that the enemy had sent for help, but that wasn't going to happen. After forming several hand seals, a black mist was emitted from her mouth and rose into the sky. Black clouds formed, which released a flammable rain of oil across the area. She threw a dozen kunai with exploding tags attatched into the sky, which exploded. The fire spread, and the eagles were dead.
Yu repeated his sister's first action, though it was directed at the anbu.

ooc: How strong are the anbu? Like chuunin or jounin or what...?

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: the two males are chuunin and the female is jounin

ic:

The two male anbu saw what was going on so they formed a quick set of handseals, one causing a dome of water to form over them and the eagles protecting them as they flew away. While the other male continued weaving handseals, suddenly he broke away in a string of cherry blossoms. Could this be a genjutsu or was it a normal ninjutsu?

The female anbu as the other guard fell to the ground. She burst forward in a decent amount of speed. As she came for Shui, she fell to all fours, flipping onto her hands aiming to kick her right in the chin and send her into the air.

ooc:

don't be killin' the eagles, boi!

[Jetkid]

ooc: What happened to the other gaurd?

IC: Yu snapped at Shui, and they both concentrated chakra in their feet. He then weaved a few hand seals, then spit out a massive amount of clear liquid, which covered the ground. Mizuame Nabara - Starch Syrup Capture Field would catch any of their enemies that didn't know what was coming and hadn't focused chakra in their feet yet. Doing it now would be pointless. It would hopefully catch the female nin, but if not, Shui formed a few hand seals then which concentrated water into a whip, which she lashed out against the Amegakure ninja with, also drawing a kunai with her other hand.
Yu created three Mizu Bunshins (water clones), two of which immediately set off to capture the birds. The third cast a ninjutsu called Chakra Kenpa no Ame - Chakra Detecting Rain. Yu now knew the chakra level and skill of the enemies, which he relayed to Shui through a certain number of snaps. He would know where the one who used a genjutsu was before he could attack.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Suddenly before things could get to out of hand there stood the Sonchou. Metal spikes flew out impaling the Mizu Bunshin before they could get away, and by now the eagles were gone out of sight. Gatsuga stood there, shards of metal floating around him. He was even standing on a platform of metal. Can I be a help to you guys? He asked in a very low and calm voice. He didn't really wanna be doing this right now.

[Jetkid]

"We came here to kill you. I'm sure you don't remember us, but all we seek is revenge against you. Fight us and we will leave this village, and no one else must die. We didn't want to kill that last man, he only got in our way to you," Yu spoke in monologue. "You can call back those eagles, our quarrel is with you only."

ooc: What's up with the other four people? O_o

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: they are all just kinda doing nothing now that Sonchou man is there xD

ic:

Gatsuga didn't trust the two people, but the two eagles that had flown away were only decoys. The two real eagles were hiding in the woods waiting for a signal to take off. Though Gatsuga wouldn't tell them that, this was just to try and scare them off. Your quarrel may be with me, but you hurt members of my village and for that you must pay.

[Jetkid]

ooc: Alright. :lol:

"Oh, please attempt to punish us if you wish. Maybe knowing who we are will convince you. My name is Yu, and my sister's name is Shui. Do you remember us now?" A hint of malice snuk into his voice with the last sentence.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Gatsuga remembered this names well, but he would not be antagonized. He drew two kunai from his pouch and held one in each hand. If you want something, well please hurry and come get it. I am tired and would like to get this over with. He twirled the two kunai around so they now faced backwards and he glared at the two ninja.

[Jetkid]

Shui threw her kunai at the Sonchou's head and lashed out with her whip, which extended ten feet or so to reach across the distance. Yu weaved several hand signs, and a column of water circled Yu, and then a large force of water will erupted to hit the him. The force of Daibakufu no Jutsu - Grand Waterfall Technique would cripple him if it connected.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tatsuga smiled, this was to easy though he knew they weren't going all out just yet. He formed a single handseal and metal came up from the ground around him forming a tight compact sphere around him. Kinzoku Baria The attacks smashed into the sphere leaving a small dent, but as the attacks broke, the sphere shattered and sent small pedals spinning as they flew forward to hit Shui and Yu.

[Jetkid]

The two shinobi weren't surprised by how the Sonchou blocked their attacks, they had kept an eye on the small village. Shui formed several hand seals, then expelled a bullet of water from his mouth. It expanded into a large volume of water, and the shrapnel dissapated within it, but most of the attack, called Baku Suishouha - Bursting Water Collision Waves went on.
Yu shunshin'd with extreme speed right behind the Sonchou. He focused chakra through his arm and around his fist, which would make his attack several times more powerful, and sent a haymaker into the back of his skull.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tatsuga turned around pushing the flat of his hand against the punch sending it off course, as another solid wall of metal formed blocking the column of water, though the metal was barely hanging together. It spiked forward aiming to pierce Yu. while still defending Tatsuga's back. You guys might wanna do better than that...

[Jetkid]

"Now then, we wouldn't want to kill you suddenly, with no chance to defend yourself," Yu responded as he rolled past most of the metal. He kicked out to crush the last bit, and largely succeeded, though it scratched several inches down his right calf. He shunshin'd between the Sonchou and his sister in a defensive stance, his water swirling around him.
Yu snapped twice in quick succession, which meant something to Shui. She pulled out an ancient looking scroll and rolled it out in front of her. She began weaving hand signs, and would be done in a few seconds.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Tatsuga moved his fingers in a flurry of seals, as the wall shattered into thin strips of metal. He pushed out with his hands and then the strips rushed forward almost perfectly holding there wall shape, but now they were small strips and would shred anything they hit. Then he moved to the side in a decent amount of speed low to the ground he brought his leg out trying to bring Yu down face first.

[Jetkid]

"Black," Yu said as he shoved the Sonchou's foot into the ground, hoping to break his ankle. Shui immediately ceased her hand seals, and stowed away her scroll. They pooled water around their feet, then flew away in retreat. They stayed ready for any last ditch attacks however, but were traveling around 50 feet in the air at very fast speeds.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Sonchou was slammed to the ground flipping, and his ankle, he heard it crack as he hit the ground in pain. He lied there on the ground. He couldn't get up in walk, not with his ankle like it was. He was down for now, but the two were retreating did they have something in mind?

In a flash of red light Shoda stood over the Sonchou in front of him. He saw the two retreat, and turned back to the Sonchou. He smiled, and picked him up, using shunshin the two appeared in the hospital and he sat the boy down on the bed. If an Iwagakure ninja, in these robes show up tell him the enemies already left. With that he turned and disappeared in another flash of red light.

[SunnyWave]

Tatsuga awoke from his slumber in recuperation of his broken ankle. With a swift movement he removed the cast around his ankle, and proceeded to hop off the bed while the nurse wandered off into the waiting area to receive papers. Adrenaline rushed throughout every fiber of his body as he rushed towards the open window feeling refreshed, then leaped out with his arms spread out at each side.

Gently he floated down to earth's pavement with his hospital clothing flapping in the wind. In a flash his hands wove in hand seals causing the metal constructs from the surrounding portions of the hospital to break off into smaller liquid constructs, which cushioned Tatsuga's impact into the pavement. It flew through the air towards his office where he gently released him into his leather chair. After a few minutes he redressed himself into his Sonchou clothing, but to no avail couldn't escape the welcoming party his fellow ninja's greeted him with.

He met each individual with a smile, before disappearing out of sight onto a building that overlooked the entire village, along with having a clear view beyond the gates. If there was an attack of the sorts, this time he would be more than prepared.

[Nyanki]

Majimaru appeared in the skies of Amegakure. What a surprise, it was raining. It was just a light shower, but the falcon still flew above the clouds to prevent any damage to the letters he was carrying. Maybe he should've went to Ame last, but he forgot about this little detail.

When he felt he was about just over the village, he dived down through the clouds, looking for the building with the biggest symbol of Ame written upon it. Once he found it, he swooped inside a door that was just opened, landing on the floor inside.

An Ame Anbu had just opened the door, and he stared at the bird as it shook the water off of its feathers.

Majimaru looked up to him. "This is for your Sonchou." He reached down to his foot, picking up the letter marked with Ame on it. He held it up in the air until the Anbu took it from Majimaru's beak.

Inside, read:
Dear Ame Sonchou,

I have sent you this letter to inform you that the INS is redoing its tryouts. If you could send the current representative back, or send new people to try out for the spot it would be appreciated. If your village no longer wishes to hold the spot please let me know so that I may inform the other villages.

~~Skikage

The bird then hopped towards the open door and took off once again. This time, he was headed to Takigakure.

[SunnyWave]

The Ame Anbu held the letter in his hand, it was securely tightened around his waist upon departure in search of the Sonchou. His hands formed seals with incredible speed, and his body vanished from thin air only leaving behind a thin trail of smoke.

Tatsuga stood atop the monstrous shaped building, when the Anbu appeared behind him kneeling. "Sir we've received a letter from Ins requesting a representative be sent for tryouts." The Anbu spoke, handing him the letter while remaining in the same posture. He took the letter from his hands staring at it. "Thank you for informing me, you may take your leave." Both men vanished from the premises, Tatsuga appeared in his office placing the letter on his desk.

The right palm opened wide, with his fingers pointing towards the ceiling. Metallic strings flowed from his palm onto the table, and begun to take shape of a small bird. He quickly wrote a note placing it in an envelope, before placing it in the birds mouth. "Take this to Rakki please." He said, with a smile watching the bird depart through the window.

[Jetkid]

A hawk flew through the skies, descending into the village. It made its way toward the Sonchou's building. It carried a message of great importance, which read:

To the Sonchou of Amegakure,

This is a formal invitation for you to come to Kumogakure. This is an emergency meeting of the Five Kages and Sonchous. The topic is of Hakumei and Kurotaka. You will bring two guards. Depart for Kumogakure as soon as possible.

~~ Katsumi, adviser to the Tenth Raikage.

[SunnyWave]

The bird flew through the clouds, quickly spotting the office of Amegakure Sonchou. It descended through the clouds, fitting itself through the window, releasing the letter on the table before flying off. Inside the letter, read:


Dear Fellow Kage's and Sonchou's ~~

This is a formal invitation for the assembly of Kage's and Sonchou's at the International Ninja Squad Compound. This is an emergency meeting of the Five Kages and Sonchou's. The topic is of Hakumei and Kurotaka. You will bring two guards. Depart for Ins as soon as possible.


Tatsuga saw both birds enter his office, and was instantly within his office using his most infamous move, Raishin no Jutsu. He walked towards his office table opening both letters, reading them quickly, alerting some Anbu's to come to his office. With a gust of wind two men stood in front of him, one with a tiger designed mask, and the other with a cat designed mask. Each of them were dressed in Anbu clothing, the only difference is one was the Anbu leader. "Both of you men will escort me to INS." He said, with an authoritative voice. The men nodded, performing seals at astonishing speed, causing a gust of wind to flow through the room as they vanished. They appeared at the gates of the village while several Anbu's remained at the office overlooking the village. Tatsuga and the escorts quickly departed for INS shortly after.

[Black Star]

As the rain fell from the sky, a young girl dressed in a extravagent purple dress, toting a purple umbrella skipped down the streets. She cried out, "Master Jin, Master Jin, where are you!" The people watched her as she pranced about in the rain. She stopped running as she ran into the man which she sought out for. "There you are, Master Jin," she said, with a smile.

[Rultzbud]

As the rain fell from the sky, a young girl dressed in a extravagent purple dress, toting a purple umbrella skipped down the streets. She cried out, "Master Jin, Master Jin, where are you!" The people watched her as she pranced about in the rain. She stopped running as she ran into the man which she sought out for. "There you are, Master Jin," she said, with a smile.

Taken back by the sudden collision, Jin looked down and smirked, "Why hello there, Kaname", he said calmly. He looked down at her and smiled, "Time for training today?" he asked smiling. He walked beside her, adjusting the sword resting on his back. Watching the people as he continued to walk, he turned his attention back to the young girl, "So what all shall we go over today?" he asked, still looking forward.

[Black Star]

Kaname walked along side her teacher, struggling to keep up with his longer strides. "You don't really expect me to train in this dress do you?" she said, looking up at her teacher.

[Rultzbud]

Laughing slight, Jin looked down, "Of course I do. A good ninja can fight in any circumstances." he informed her as he placed his hands in his pockets. "However, I suppose you're going to want to change aren't you?" he asked looking down. Letting a soft sigh escape his lips, "Very well, it can't be helped I suppose..." he said, turning in the direction of her quarters.

[Black Star]

As they reached the home of Kaname, she turned to Jin and said, "You can hold the umbrella while you wait out here." She handed him the umbrella and then continued towards the door, "I will be out in a flash." She entered the house and closed the door behind herself.

After fifteen minutes, she came back outside, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, she was dressed in an all black shinobi uniform, with black tabi boots. A pouch on the left hip with first-aid supplies, and pre-made poisons. As she walked out of the door she pulled a mask over her face that covered the bottom half. "Looks cool right?" She giggled.

[Rultzbud]

Shaking his head, and sighing, he frowned, "You just can't take it seriously huh?" he asked. Reaching into his pouch, he pulled out a single kunai, "This, is all I will use, fair enough?" he said, "Your goal, is to take this from me," he said holding up her umbrella. He smiled and headed towards the village gate. "C'mon slowpoke!" he shouted back to her as he began running.

[SunnyWave]

The Anbu crouched down from a building above, scanning both shinobi with his eyes. He quickly discerned that these individuals weren't threats knowing the Sonchou was away; it was his job to protect the village along with his fellow Anbu squad mates. The man leaped from the building into the dense trees observing from a distance for the hell of it, being very secretive to not alert the two. While the Anbu enjoyed the little game, the other member went back to the office keeping lookout.

[Black Star]

"Hey wait up!" she went rushing after him heading toward the gate of the village. Anticipation built up inside of her. She always loved training with Jin. Ever since she had graduated from the academy, he had taught her many things to help her survive in possibly any situation.

As she caught up with him she said, "Master Jin, I hope you know that you won't get the best of me this time. I will win your challenge."

[Rultzbud]

Smiling as he placed the umbrella on his belt, "Does this umbrella bring out my eyes?" he taunted fluttering his eyelashes. He smirked as he sat on a rock, twirling the kunai around in his hands. With his empty hand he beckoned her to come forth. "Don't hold back, use poisons, whatever. Aim to kill me." he said as his eyes went from calm and relaxed to a piercing sense that could stop anyone in their tracks.

[Black Star]

"Aim to kill, huh?" Kaname reached both of her hands into the opposite sleeves and pulled out six senbon needs, three in between the fingers on each hand. "I don't need to kill you to take that kunai away." She hopped into the air and toss all of the senbon needles at Jin. "I'll pry it out of your hands with forced!," she said as the needles rained down towards him.

[SunnyWave]

This Anbu in particular was strange, his eyes penetrating the souls of the young female, and the older man. He continued to watch the training, with a grin appearing on his face. A tear slid down his face remembering the younger days of his youth. "Oh how I wish to be so young again." He mumbled to himself, letting his mask absorb his tears.

[Rultzbud]

In the blink of her small eye, Jin was no longer on the rock. "Hehehe", his laughter filled the air around her, "Come now.. Surely you're fast!" he taunted as a cloud of smoke popped up infront of her, revealing Jin. "Hiya!" he said as he waved, and then tried to deliver a swift kick to her abdomen.

[Black Star]

Jin appeared in front of her before she had chance to land and recover from her attack. His kick flew towards her with swiftness that she had never witness before. She took the blow to her mid-section and flew into the trunk of a tree, damaging it on impact, and then she fell to the ground. For a moment, she didn't move, but then she lifted herself off the ground and glared at her master as she ran towards him for her next attack.

[Rultzbud]

Smiling, "Now this is better", he commented. He stood there, his free hand, extended forward, the hand containing the kunai was gripped tightly around it, behind him. He spun the kunai around in his palm for a brief second, the glare of the metal reflecting onto his shoulder. Thrusting his arm forward, with his palm open he aimed to repel the small warrior.

[Black Star]

As she was running, the wet grass under her feet forced Kaname slip. She slid across the grass and mud, stopping in front of Jin. "Oops," she said laughing clumsily.

[Rultzbud]

With restraint slipping from his body, Jin fell down in laughter. Slowly getting to his feet, he leaped back, "Hah... Ready now kiddo?" he asked, as he leaped into the air, landing on a nearby branch.

[Black Star]

"I sure am," she said regaining her fighting stance. She pulled out two senbon with exploding notes attached on the end of them. "You may be strong, but even you can't handle a deadly blast like this." She tossed the senbon at the tree where her sensei was perched. A glimmer of hope shone in her eyes as the senbon hit the targeted tree.

[Rultzbud]

The tree shattered into splinters, tossing Jin unto the ground. Picking himself up, he smirked, "Seems I was a tad careless.." he said as he pulled out three shuriken, placing them in between his fingers on his left hand. Quickly he tossed them all towards young Kaname, one aimed at her, and two flying in at her sides. Without missing a single beat, Jin pulled out and threw kunai into the shuriken, pinning them to the trees behind her, and the ground in front of her. Heh.. Lets see how good your eyesight is... he thought to himself, hoping she wouldn't notice the thin wire attached to the end of each kunai.

[Black Star]

Kaname looked at the kunai on the ground in front of her, she would surprised that her teacher could miss a motionless target. 'Master Jin couldn't have possible missed me. His aim is usually always perfect," Kaname thought, "Wait a minute, he couldn't be..." She looked up at Jin and shouted, "I hope you aren't underestimating me Master Jin, you know how much I hate that." She jumped to the tree behind her and pushed herself from it in a swift fashion, rocketing herself toward Jin, her fist pulled back, ready to strike.

[Rultzbud]

A smirk creep upon his lips, "Kaname.. Too late.." he mumbled as he swiftly pulled the wires, triggering a smoke bomb from each kunai. Plunging himself in the shadows and confusion, Jin hid after he made a shadow clone, and then transformed it into the umbrella. Time to see what she will do.. he thought as it sat there, resting on top a tree stump. Jin smirked, Lets see if she falls for it..

[Black Star]

Blinded by the smoke, Kaname panicked, she couldn't decide what to do. Anxiety built up as she anticipated a blow every second, looking around frantically, though it wasn't helpful since she could barely see 3 inches into the smoke.

"Where will he come from, how can I block his attacks, damn it, this smoke is too thick," her thoughts were scrambled and then she came up with an idea. "He'll have to come in closer to attack me, but he can't get close if he can't walk on the ground." With a devilish grin, she reached into her pouch and carefully pulled out two handful of makibishi and scattered them on the ground around her, and she patiently waited for her teacher to strike.

[Rultzbud]

(OOC: lol, one waits for one, the other for the other. )

Leaning against the tree, Jin waited for Kaname to come after him. Smiling sinisterly he decided he would have fun, quickly forming the seals he made a single shadow clone. The clone leaped from branch to branch, and once the smoke began clearing he could see Kaname. Swiftly climbing down the tree, the fake Jin stood behind young Kaname, and patted her on the head. "Hey there!" he said smirking, "Ready for more?"

[Black Star]

She jumped in surprise at the feeling of the hand on her head. She yell, "Don't scare me like that!" She spun around and proceeded to kick Jin, but her aim slightly off as her foot headed toward the mid-south section.

[Rultzbud]

Once he was hit, in a cloud of smoke he vanished. Jin sighed, "Damn.." he mumbled as he walked from behind the tree. "C'mon you can do better than this.."

[Black Star]

"You are still underestimating me," Kaname said, and she also disappeared with a small smoke cloud. She stood behind Jin and tried to sneakily grab from the kunai that was in his possession.

[Rultzbud]

Jin stood there, and then as he sensed her hand reach forth, in a cloud of smoke, he was a log, and was gone. He then decided it was time for her to try and find him, so as he jumped branch to branch he began thinking of where to hide. All of a sudden he got a wonderful idea, I'll turn into a bush, and when she walks by, attack her.. Maybe it'll work... With that, he ran towards a group of bushes, and without hesitation transformed into a bush and blend into the fine landscape. Now he anxiously waited for her to stumble along.

[Black Star]

"Dang it," Kaname said in a disappointed tone. The log in front of her bothered her, she became upset at how she could be fooled by such a basic technique. "Alright Master Jin, come out here and fight!" She ran deeper into the forest searching for him. She leaped into trees searching for him. Then she came across a group of bushes. "Aha, he must be hiding in there!", she thought to herself as she scurried over and pushed aside the leaves, disappointment covered her face as she saw there was no one there.

[Rultzbud]

Well, that was rather close... he thought as he lunged forth at her, "Stop leaving yourself open!!" he said to her. Leaping forward he threw three shuriken down towards her, trying to graze her skin. Once his feet were planted on the ground, he began running up the nearest tree, tossing a smoke bomb over his shoulder.

[Black Star]

The three shuriken shot towards her so fast, she was unable to get out of the way. The first hit her left leg, and entered the skin deeply, the second shuriken missed and the third grazed her cheek ripping a hole into her mask.

She kneeled to the ground, and pulled the shuriken out of her leg. "Are you trying to kill me?!" she yelled at her sensei. She rose to her feet leaving her wound unattended, a look of determination in her eyes. "This time, I will get that kunai, sensei," she said, "I had just been playing around before, but now, I'm serious."

She leaped towards him, but her jump was too short as the pain in her leg didn't allow her to go as far as she had intended. "Damn it," she said, kneeling on the ground once again, this time putting pressure onto her wound as the blood start to slowly pour from it.

[Rultzbud]

After noticing the shuriken he intended to graze her, had wounded her, he landed beside her. "My apologies, my shuriken only meant to scare you, and barely cut you, not that." he said as he pulled out some bandages. "Here, use these," he said handing them to her. As a sign of his apology, he laid the kunai down, alongside the umbrella, beside her.

[Black Star]

"You've underestimated me again, sensei," she said as she made a grab for the kunai and then hopped to her feet in victory, and jumped away from Jin. "You should know by now that I'm tougher than that, Master Jin," she tried to twirl the kunai around her finger, but it slipped off and flew towards Jin.

[Rultzbud]

With his agility and reflexes Jin caught the kunai in between his fingertips. "Kaname, you need to be more careful.." he said rather bluntly. He sighed as he picked up his shuriken and put the remaining ninja equipment back. "Let us go now.." He said walking off back towards the village. Well.. That was close, butterfingers..

[Black Star]

"Wow, Master Jin is so amazing," she thought to herself in awe. Kaname wrapped the bandage around her left leg to contain the bleeding and then followed closely behind Jin as they headed back towards the village gate.

[Rultzbud]

As he entered the village gates, Jin sensed something troubling. Were we being watched in the forest?... I'm sure someone was there... Shrugging it off, he continued walking along the street. "Kaname, hows your leg?" he asked without turning around. As he approached his house, "You can come in also, I'll only be a moment though", he said to Kaname, as he walked in, he took the Golem Blade off of his back, and examined it. After restocking his supplies, Jin put the Golem Blade back onto his back and stepped outside. "Kaname, what now?" he asked as he closed his door.

[Black Star]

Kaname looked up into the sky, the rain pour falling and dripping off her face. She looked back at her sensei and said, "Sensei, why does it rain so often here?" Without waiting for an answer she walked away from him, turned and look and spoke, "I'm going to go home and get out of these wet clothes and get some rest. You know almost being killed is very tiring." She stuck her tongue out at him and continued her walk home.

[Rultzbud]

Laughing lightly as he shrugged her question off, he headed down the road. Was someone else there in the forest?

Unsure of his answer, he decided to investigate. Wandering back to where they were just at, he searched for someone else. After several minutes of not finding anything, anyone or any signs, he left.

Must have been the wind..

He returned to his house, and entered slowly. Lying on his bed, he looked at the wall, slowly he fell asleep.

[SunnyWave]

The disguised man dressed in Anbu clothing watched the training session come to an end. He sighed at the fact it had to ended, and moved through the forest silently noticing the man sensed a presence, but luckily didn't spot him. He smiled under his mask disappearing into the night, heading back towards the Sonchou's office.

[Black Star]

Kaname stretched out her arms as she ascended from the comfort of her bed as her sleep concluded. She was now fully rested and craving something to eat. She walked over to the refrigerator to look inside for something eat, but she noticed that it was drastically empty. "No food, I guess I'll have to beg Master Jin for some money again," she said to herself as she walked into her room and picked out an outfit to wear that day. It was a beautiful purple yukata decorated with white flowers. After she changed her clothing she head for the door to meet with her sensei.

[Rultzbud]

Awakening early that morning Jin walked outside into the rain.. Gah rain again huh? sighing as he continued down the street. Readjusting the Golem Blade on his back, Jin wandered around the town some more, just begging for something exciting to happen. He hadn't received a mission in a while and he grew bored daily. I wonder if the kids leg is alright..

[Black Star]

Kaname turned a corner and seen Jin in the distance, she outstretched her arm to wave to him, but put it back down almost immediately and ran back around the corner and watched him as he walked. "This is a good chance to sneak up on Master Jin. I need to pay him back for almost killing me yesterday. She crouched down, peeking around the corner, waiting for him to approach closer.

[Rultzbud]

Continuing his stroll though the village, slowly slipping off into the depths of his thoughts, he soon drifted throughout the village. He neared the corner which Kaname hid behind, and something shiny caught his eye on the other side of the road, it was a coin. "Haha!! It's going to be a good day!" he said gleefully as he crouched down to grab it.

[Black Star]

As Jin bent down to pick up a coin from the ground, Kaname took advantage of the opportunity. Kaname swiftly ran from the corner where she hid and jumped in an attempt to land on her teacher that was picking up a coin from the ground.

[Rultzbud]

While on the ground to pick up the coin, Jin lost his balance and fell over on his side. "Ok.. Maybe.. not so lucky.." he said as he heard a loud crash and looked in front of himself, "Kaname? Is that you?"

[Black Star]

As she picked herself up off the ground, holding her head with one hand, dusting her clothes off with the other. "You just had to tip over didn't you Master Jin." She shot him a glare, "You just tried to kill me again! Only this time you at least tried to make it look like an accident."

[Rultzbud]

Laughing slightly, "Well.. Maybe you shouldn't be so noisy." he said calmly, bushing the dirt off of himself. Jin looked down at Kaname, "So.. What brings you here?" he asks.

Walking down the road once more, Jin continued to wonder on who was there in the forest. Was someone even there? Why am I still so caught up on this?! What if it was someone to destroy the village?.. Gah! Dammit Jin! Get ahold of yourself! he thought while trying to remain calm in the presence of Kaname.

[Black Star]

"I came because happened to run out of food at my house," she said rubbing her head and looking at the ground embarrassingly, "So I was coming to see if I could borrow some money." She looked at her teacher trying to put on a cute face that she hoped would help to persuade him in forking over the money that she needed.

[Rultzbud]

Sighing ever so lightly in humor, "Well.. Why do you think I was so happy to see the coin? I'm running short on money, but yes. I can afford you, lets go somewhere you want then." he suggested smiling. He tried to remember just how much he had left, it wasn't much, but he could get her some food at least. "Think of it as my way for saying sorry." he said to her.

[Black Star]

"You don't have to take me out anywhere, did you forget Master Jin, I'm an excellent cook." She smiled at him, then she reached into her pouch and pulled out a small book. "I've been reading this recipe book, they have a lot of great recipes for sashimi and fugu, and I wanted to try some out, except I have no ingredients, or anything at the house."

[Rultzbud]

Panic and fear consumed his being as the words rolled off of Kaname's tongue. C..Cook?!, he asked himself. The memories of her getting her recipe book and poison book confused began to horrify Jin. "Are you sure you don't want to get something to eat out somewhere?" he asked her, trying to persuade her into it. Oh god, what if she gets confused like last time?! I can't stand another week in the hospital!!

[Black Star]

Kaname smiled sweetly at him, then suddenly tossed the book at his head. "Are you trying to say that I do not cook well!" she yelled, greatly angered by his comments. Then she folded her arms and pouted and turned away from him. "That is fine then, I won't cook for you, you can just spend all of your money buying me Botamochi and Sushi."

[Rultzbud]

Jin got hit in the head with the book and fell backwards. "Oww.." he mumbled as he pulled himself to his feet. "It's not that, I'm just worried you may get cooking and poisoning confused." he explained to her, trying to calm her down.

He extended his hand containing the book she had thrown. "Here, lets go get the ingredients?" he asked.

[Black Star]

Kaname reverted back to her more pleasant attitude. "You really mean it? You're the greatest!" She took the book from Jin and opened to a page which she had marked with a slip of paper. "Alright then I'll make your favorite, Spicy Tuna Roll! First of course, we need rice."

[Rultzbud]

Smiling as he realized he quelled the anger of Kaname, he handed her a sum of his remaining money, "Here, you go buy all this, and I'll go wash the dishes in my house so you can cook there. OK?" he said as he left, heading back towards his house.

As he closed the door behind him, the memories flooded in. An even younger Kaname was learning to cook, and was also being trained as a ninja, she had her book out, and was preparing what she thought to be a simple onigiri, but she instead made a deadly poisonous rice-ball and decided to feed it to Jin. If she hadn't already made several antidotes prior to her practicing poison, he would have slowly and painfully died.

Is this really a good idea?...

He had finished the dishes and decided it was time to wait for her to return.

[Black Star]

Kaname had just finished shopping for ingredients for the new recipe for the Spicy Tuna Roll she was going to prepare for her sensei, Jin. "I can't wait to try out this recipe." She walked down the road towards Jin's home. She looked around the area as she walked. Even though it was morning, the rain clouds darkened the sky leaving them with little light in the village. She looked on at the kids running and playing in the rain and at the women standing in a circle sharing gossip. Everyone was now used to the rain, since it had done so almost all of the time. "When will this rain stop," she said to herself as she reached Jin's home. She opened the door and entered.

[Rultzbud]

Hearing Kaname enter, Jin stood, "Ah seems you got everything." he said. He yawned slightly and helped her with the bags. "So.. I'm assuming you spent it all huh?" he said, jokingly. He sat the bags on his counter, and then proceeded to sit on a stool and watch her cook.

[Black Star]

Kaname put a pan of water over the stove, then she put the rice in to boil along with some vinegar. As it boiled she started mixing the tuna with mayonnaise, chili powder, and wasabi paste. As she continued preparing the food, her thoughts wandered about the condition of her village and her training under Jin, among other things. After she finished making the Spicy Tuna Rolls she placed them on a plate and put the plate on the table. "Alright Master Jin, prepare to eat the best meal you've ever had," she said with a big grin.

[Rultzbud]

With fear still looming over him, Jin reluctantly took his first bite. To his surprise and delight, this meal was fabulous. The flavors seemed to explode amongst your pallet in a way Jin had never experienced before. "Th..This is amazing!!" he exclaimed.

Once he had finished the meal, he looked over at Kaname, "Would you care to travel to Konoha with me?" he asked. He had finished washing the remaining dishes, and now began checking his supplies and ninja weaponry. After all of his preparations, he walked towards the door, awaiting Kaname's response.

[Black Star]

Kaname wiped her hands and mouth with a cloth napkin, and placed it on top of her place. And with incredible velocity she hopped out of her chair and answered, "Hell yeah! Let's go to Konoha! I can't wait to get out of this rain." She rushed towards the door slipping on her shoes. "I just have to go pack some supplies and change my clothes and I'll be ready to go," she said with a smile on her face as she walked out of the door.

[Rultzbud]

Smiling at her approval, Jin also headed towards Kaname's home. Along the way, he stopped and looked around at the village, Hm.. This may be the last time I see this place.. he thought.

Realizing they were outside her house, Jin waited by the door for Kaname. Once she returns, the adventure of her life will begin..

[Black Star]

Kaname emerged from her house wearing a purple kimono, and black hakama, with black tabi boots. "I'm going to miss my wardrobe during our trip," she said, "Master Jin, we have to do some shopping for clothes while we are there." She said with a persuading smile. She began to wallk toward the gate. "Why are we going to Konoha, sensei?" she asked.

[Rultzbud]

Laughing lightly, "It's because, I'm sick of the rain.." he said with a subtle tone to his voice. He marched forth into the forest, and looked over at Kaname, "We need to be careful.. There could be Missing-Nin in the forests or along the pathways to Konoha, keep your guard up.." he warned.

I wonder if there are any out however... he thought to himself. He readjusted the Golem Blade that resided on his back, and looked down at Kaname, "You.. do know what Missing-Nin's are, don't you?" he asked, hoping she did.

[Black Star]

"I don't know, are they ninja who have gone M.I.A.?" she answered his question with another. She continued to walk through the forest, along side Jin, as the rain from Amegakure still fell from the sky, pelting them on their backs.

[Rultzbud]

Shaking his head, "No no..They are ninja's who left their village because of their criminal acts.. However some simply rebel against their land of origin.." he explained, a soft tone rolled onto each of his words.

Jin looked down at her, "Do you understand what that means? They are also extremely dangerous.." he explained, "Sometimes, they group together into organizations and then it becomes very worrisome.."

[Black Star]

"Worrisome? Sounds kind of cool if you ask me," said Kaname, "except maybe the criminal activity. But if it were groups of good guys from different countries, with different talents and abilities, they would be an unstoppable force against evil." She became a little worked up as she thrusted a punch into the air. She looked over at Jin, "Maybe we should make an organization. We can stop crimes and even wars. Maybe we can use our time in Konoha to recruit some more ninja!"

[Rultzbud]

"Hah... I was hoping for something like that as well, perhaps, after Konoha, we head to Iwagakure?" he asked. Without paying attention to where he was walking, he stumbled and fell over a tree root, landing face first into the mudd. "Ugh..." he mumbled as he got up and wiped the mud off of his face.

[Black Star]

Kaname had walked ahead of Jin, when she heard a thump behind her she turned to check only to find him lying face first on the ground. She stopped, walked over to him and knelt down next to Jin to help him up to his feet asking him, "Are you okay?", while in the back of her mind she was laughing at his clumsiness.

[Rultzbud]

Scoffing at the fact he had fallen, Jin got up, "Yeah.. I'm alright.." he said. He jumped up, and wandered over to the nearest tree, and stretched for a moment or two, and leaped to the top of the tree, and began jumping from branch to branch. "C'mon kiddo!!" he shouted to her.

[Black Star]

Kaname made a leap towards the tree and sprung from the trunk to the branch of another tree. As she landed, she struggled to keep her balance, but once she was steady she jumped from branches of the trees following behind Jin, she was falling behind significantly but her pride gave her a boost of speed as she shot forth and closed the distance by half in a single bound.

[Rultzbud]

Jin waited patiently for Kaname. "Hey... Kaname.... Uhm... Which way is it towards Konoha exactly?.." he asked, a bit confused. It had been so long since he ventured out of the village, he had forgotten where everything was. "Uhm.." he mumbled, "This way?.... Or uh... That way?... Maybe it was over here..."

[Black Star]

"How am I supposed to know! You mean you decided to take this trip without knowing exactly where we are going?!" She looked at him with a glare as she continued jumping along the trees alongside her teacher. "Maybe we should head back and get some direct--," she was interrupted by the snapping of a branch under her feet. As the branch broke her balance was interrupted and she began to tumble towards the ground with it, screaming for help from Jin.

[Rultzbud]

His eye grew wide, as he watched the branch snap, then looking down he noticed the rocks. What am I going to do?! Dammit!! ..Wait... he was thinking as he quickly did the Body Flickering Jutsu, catching Kaname safely in his arms. He looked at her, "Well.. I have a map, but I don't want to use it.." he said as he sat her down, handing her the map, "You want it?" he asked.

[Black Star]

"Thanks for saving me," said Kaname, gazing up at Jin with admiration in her eyes. She took the map and observed it. "Looks like we have to head west, do you have a compass with you?" she asked, folding the map and putting it into her backpack. "Please tell me you have a compass, you can't be that unprepared can you?"

[Rultzbud]

Scratching the back of his head for a moment, chuckling slightly, "Ok! I maybe I can be this unprepared!" he said smiling. "Can't we just figure it out by the sun?" he asked, yawning slightly. He stretched his arms, and then sat down, "Well.. What do you purpose we do?"

[Black Star]

"Good luck with that," Kaname said, looking at Jin with disappointment. She opened up her backpack and reached into it, pulling out a compass and tossed it to him, "Good thing I brought one, I knew I couldn't count on you," she said, zipping her backpack once more.

[Rultzbud]

Smiling lightly, feeling the sense of adventure overtake him, "Haha!! Lets just go this way!" he said walking off. He looked around him, "Hm.. All this stuff seems like I've been through he before.." he said as the shadows from the massive trees consumed him. Hearing no sounds from the forest, Jin grew worried.

This isn't normal.. I don't hear anything from this forest.. No birds.. No bugs... Not even the wind.. he thought.

[Black Star]

Kaname dashed through the trees following her teacher. She began feeling nervous as she thought to herself, "Please don't get us lost sensei." She said a little pray to herself and continued to faithfully follower Jin.

[SunnyWave]

The air became distorted in office as a wormhole materialized releasing three mysterious figures into the Sonchou's office. Those three men were Tatsuga, and his Anbu escorts. The men quickly departed upon their arrival, while Tatsuga walked around his desk looking through the window, inhaling the fresh air with a quick sigh of relief that the horrendous meeting was over, could it even be called a meeting he questioned. When the thinking began to overload his fragile brain, his body dropped down into the chair speeding it backwards in the desk. He yawned placing both feet against his newly framed window with the fresh air blasting in his face. "Home sweet home, now where's my order of cookies!" He yelled.

Suddenly a burst of smoke appeared, as a chef materialized bowing to the Sonchou. "Get me my order of cookies my thirst of sugary delights needs to be quenched. Chap chap mister!" He commanded, as the chef disappeared immediately. This day would be interesting...well to him at least.

Later, Tatsuga munched down on his desert his cook made, even though he wasn't bossy usually he felt compelled to give orders. Though it was unlikely for him to ever boss around people, but today was just that day. When he felt stuff he walked towards his room that was separated from his office, the most luxurious room within the suite or building that housed his office. He stylishly dressed in his tuxedo, finishing it off with his black feathered hat. With that done, he disappeared in a flash of lighting.
