The Shinobi World 2.0 - Main RP thread

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

We're here to pick up whatever is going on in original SW. Don't start over, continue right away, wherever we are. But stick to the rules.


Here's something you will have to stick to if you want to remain here. Otherwise, so long.


1) I'm pretty sure you know what godmodding and powerplaying are if your planning to join. If you don't, go do some research about them, because I will neither answer any questions nor explain why your banned if you ever do that once in a lifetime.




2) We will treat you with respect and appreciation, and we expect the exact same thing. So feel free to flame, curse, insult and humiliate. We are nice and we would still respect you, but you'll be out.




3) Understand the way things work around here. Before doing either anything big or simply a fight, we plan and discuss in the OOC thread. Take good care of your own fight, and don't go astray with your plan. So go on and kill everybody with a big explosion, they will be just fine and ignore you, but the worse thing is they won't even say goodbye to your departure.




4) If your autohit or autokilled without your permission and feel displeased with that, tell us. If it's within your permission, or if you feel okay about it, then fine. If you autohit or autokill somebody, and if they say they're annoyed with that, you receive a warn. Do that again, and farewell.




5) This may sound ridiculous, but I and the other GMs will decide if your kekkai genkai is allowed. No counters and no reasons. If you don't feel right about that, feel free to find another place where your OP can pass.




6) IMPORTANT: If you can't think of anything to post as much as or more than 4 lines, then don't post and go think instead. Don't make people upset when they work so hard to reply to your post and get disappointed with yours. More than 5 times with this and we'll be forced to bid you goodbye.




7) This is a Naruto RP. No matter how original you are, you have to appreciate that fact.

a) Use Japanese names, and keep offering Japanese names until you get accepted. You can always have English alias for your OC, however.

b) You are a ninja, not a god. Gods were once fine, but a world is not enough for a god for everyone. Do things in a ninja's way. Also, stick to your set level, don't open five chakra gates without risking your life when you said your "not very very very strong".

c) Don't link the story to the Western comics, don't introduce Western or science-fiction-like culture here. We appreciate God, some of us believe in God, but don't bring him into a game.




8) Have responsibility. Once you join, you're involved. So don't make us wait and vanish without saying anything. We're not patient enough to wait for more than a month without your announcement, and in that case, we're sorry, but we will forget your OC, and you'll become a stranger when you're back.




9) In any case, be reasonable. Don't smirk and punch in the face of someone stronger than you with ease. Don't wake up and find your an invincible superhuman. If I see anything off limit, I will inform you, and in case you don't wanna co-operate, sorry, we did have fun when you were here.




10) Kunoichirule and Caedus are also GMs. What they say weigh as much as what I say. In case one GM let you get away with something, but the other doesn't, listen to the harsher one, because any of the three can rule you out.




That's it. Besides, be sure to read others' posts, or it will be inconvenient for you. You may hate this set of rules, and in turn hate me, but sorry, that's why I'm here.

Have fun and enjoy your time here. As long as the rules are fine to you, you're important to us.

"Yeah... I'd like that I have an idea for the resengan if I learn it successfuly. Although I dout it will a technique I can learn quickly."

"He will come after you eventully."A female ninja said holding a summoning scroll in the pam of her hand to Marxon.
"I plan on him finding me... The stronger he becomes the better, with each passing day his resolve and protection from his seal becomes weaker... the use of that technique reinfroced my theory meaning, are lord's reincarnation will soon come."
"Good i'm sick of standing around I want to kill something. By the way whats your theory and past with that boy?"
Marxon sighed and said, "He doesn't have one Chakra alone. He has two in total."
"I thought only ninja's with one of the tailed deamons in them ever had two chakras?"
"Thats why are plans are going well, to the Ninja in each village all the tailed beats are long gone so their is no way a person can have a second chakra, of course their is one clan thats a threat to this secert and thats one of The leaf villages clans... and one of his freinds seem to be a member of it so he's a considerable threat; but anyway to the point, he is carrying the chakra of a long forgotten deamon that is more of a myth to those who do know it."
"Wait? What kind of deamon?"
"A fiend..."
"You mean... your planning on bring about the end of this world and birth of a new one? Hell on earth?"
"Excatly in comparison the tailed beasts are worthless compared to him, if reincarnated within my little brother then no one would stand in his way and he'd be the defenition of death and evil."
"But he will kill you... Your insane..."
"Oh? Well i'm safe under his rule, I carry the blood of a fiend I gave my own soul up for power and to be spared when he is reincarnated..."
"A deal with the devil..."
"Excatly."
She threw him the scroll and said, "I got it... I had to go through alot of trouble to get it..."
"Dont worry it will be worth your time... now about that significant threat from the leaf village..."
"Wipe out their clan and entire blood line..."
"Indeed."
"I'm sure you wont fail..." Marxon said as she teleported away...

[Kuno]

"Th-thank you..." Tereya said to Hikaru trying to give him a smile.

Ichijin looks around at the group. "Right...let's get our stuff packed so we can get on the move. The sooner we are done the better." he says as he begins to walk toward the tents.

"H-hai..." Tereya mumbles following him. The rest of the group splits up for the moment as people gather their things for the mission ahead.

"I'm sure everything will be fine..." Kiya says worrying about the group being sent.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe headed back to camp cleaned up. Soon after getting her, new and cleaned cloths on she sighs then walks around camp some. She was walking rather slowly. After awhile she runs into her friends, a sad smile on her face "Hey guys..." she said, as she waved rather pitifully.

[Kuno]

Kiya scowls a bit "You okay Ashe?" she asks her concerned that she seemed upset again.

Tora looks at her for a moment then shakes her head. "We need you to go on a mission Ashe. We need a group of you to set out to check on some land that seems a bit odd. It might interfere with the expansion of the village..." Tora gives her a grin. "And, it would be nice if a couple of the Uchiha go...I believe Kenshin-san has been notified already..." she says waiting for Ashe's response.

[Captain Obvious]

Inka had started to wander a bit after gaining full control of her drowsy and sore body. She was thinking about the demise of her rival as she was walking. She sighs getting the realization of the fact that she and Tsuya will always match eachother. She looks up for a few before lokking straight ahead again, seeing Tora talking to Ashe, "Hey what's up guys?" She asks pleasently.

[LunarCoast]

"Where we heading off to?"Ryu asked Ichijin and slowly stoud up he walked over to him. (soz for one liner)

[ChamberTrist]

After a few hours, gondara wakes up in his dome home((lol)) and walks outside looking to the sky. After a few minutes, he stops looking and walks off toward the main part of camp. After a while, he runs across his friends and sees ashe. He could not decide if he should go over or not. After a moment he begins to walk over, not knowing what he should say. When he walks up to them, he glances over all of them, his eyes landing on ashe. "Hmm? Whats wrong ashe?" He asked, worried.

[Emo_panda227]

She looks to them and shakes her head and forces a smile "Nothing is wrong.... It's been awhile since i've done a mission". All her weapons were equipped and she looks to Gondy some "Gondy.." she suddenly hugs him, burring her face into his cloths. "Damn you..." she muttered.

[Caedus]

The young Uchiha continued to listen the story to the elder Uchiha Jounin was telling him. Mistakes..advice, points of interested all continued to entertain the young shinobi. More and more that this event was starting to change at him. He wanted to be like his brother..a prodigy, an unmatched shinobi but he started to change his thoughts. Sure his brother was a master of the Sword but why use a sword..did prefer a certain weapon over it. With that..he began to picture a weapon that would make him standout amounst the Uchiha. Still..while while waiting for his assumed mission to begin..he wanted to learn more and the Uchiha Jounin seemingly had no problem with this share and tell.

[ChamberTrist]

He nearly gags out of supprised when she suddenly hugged him. After giving her a quick look, he gave a slight laugh and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "What did I do?" He asked, not knowing how to respond to what she said.

OOC: hey, ichirou....i would sudjest changing the rule about 4-5 lines to 4-5 sentences, that way it would be slightly easier ^_^

[Emo_panda227]

She pulls away and her eye twitches some. Sighing she turns back to the group and gives herself a tiny smile, while mumbling "You are always the same Gondy..." Her eyes trail over to Gondy, and then the rest of the group. Contemplating, Ashe leans against something and closes her eyes 'A peice of land?? That might corrupt the new town, we will call home one day??' she thinks and opens her eyes after a few minuets.

[ChamberTrist]

"Always the same? if i recall, i was really shy and reluctant to meet anyone....now im extremely outgoing.....how am i the same exactly?" he asked a little bit confused as to what she ment.

[Kuno]

Kiya stops having not gotten very far before Ashe walked up. "What exactly is going is this...is a piece of land not to far from here. When they looked at the maps it looks a bit malformed. So we need a group to head in that direction to see what is going on with it. It isn't that far and you should be back in a few days..."

Tora laughs then to. "Oh yeah..." she says laughing and shaking her head. "What she said!" Tora says hooking her thumb in Kiya's direction then turns to Inka. "Hey! I need to talk to you too!" she says to Inka then grins. "I guess Kiya doesn't need to search you out!"

Kiya shakes her head and smiles. "Thanks for making this easy on me!" she says to Inka.

"Anyway...we have a mission that needs to be done. Though we need you to stick around here. Do you know of anybody that might be able to go? It would be a great help!" Tora says looking at her.
___________________________________

"Ryu! Glad to see you up and moving around." Ichijin says to him. "We have a mission to check out some land nearby. Need people to go...If your willing I am sure you will be a welcom asset to the squad." He says to his new friend.

[Captain Obvious]

She thinks for a few then says, "Well I think the b*tch wouldn't mind..." Then she sighs, "But I am not quite sure exactly where she is. Though she could be back where I left her..." She says thinking a bit out loud. "But probably wouldn't be a problem about a mission, acctually I think she would enjoy a formal mission." She says with a chuckle.

[Caedus]

"Thanks.." Kenshin stated as he bowed in respect for the elder Uchiha Jounin who was sitting on the large boulder under the base of the tree. He had learned some history but it was time that he focused on his history and see what type of mission he was going to be involved in. The Uchiha Jounin watch Kenshin walk away..it was interesting to see how would Kenshin eventually develop..

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe blushes some, then hides behind Gondara. She didn't like to be embarrised like that. It is true that Gondara was able to, just like Ichirou, make her show her true emotions. She was....starting to like him like she had started to like Ichirou at first. The blush held as she leans on Gondara's back, listening to their conversation. Nothing about her and Gondara so far....just about the mission. The mission should be easy.. but you dont know what to expect now days.

[ChamberTrist]

Gondara gave Ashe a slightly weird look as she hid behind him, but it slowely turned to a smile when she leaned against him. When the smile had stopped growing, he slightly bowed his head and closed his eyes, going into semi-thought.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu looks at him and said, "Eh sure why not? Just please take note that... since I dont have a katana or broad sword i'm not going to be as good as I usally would be in close combat if we do end up in combat for... whatever reason." He looked towards the group and thought to himself I guess it's a good way to meet new people or see people fom my child hood

[ChamberTrist]

((Going to bed, cya guys tomarrow))

[Caedus]

Kenshin continued to walk around the camp..usually nodding to other Uchiha Clan members around the camp doing their own business. The camp was quiet as usual as those who were wounded were being treated and their chances of survival were now much greater. The seniors and more notable leaders were still off on a mission on their own..most likely back at the remains of the village. The young Uchiha continued to look around and then turned his head to the left to see a group of people who were very familar..

[Kuno]

"Can you go find her? I know they want to get this mission started as soon as possible. The information is very important..." Tora says to Inka as Kiya stands nearby and nods.

"Have her meet us here after gathering what supplies she may need for a few days..." Kiya says to Inka as she turns to watch the others.

Tereya was just getting back from gathering her stuff and Kiya watched her carefully as a small smile graced her lips. She could see the fear in her sister's eyes but she also could see just a little excitement. "Don't worry...everything will be fine. They will look out for you..." Kiya said to her as she put an arm across her shoulders.

"Y-yes Ooneechan..." Tereya said giving a small smile.
____________________________________

Ichijin looks at Ryu and nods. "I am sure we can find you a sword if you feel more comfortable using one...." he says thinking for a moment. "In fact we will grab you one on our way out..."

[Captain Obvious]

Inka looks at her and nods, "Right I will..." she says jogging off to find Tsuya. "Well where is she...?" she says aloud to herself. She gets to where Tsuya was and she stops right infront of her.

"Well why are you back idiot?" Tsuya says questionally. "Get up b*tch...You got a mission for once." Inka replies to her. Tsuya stands up, "Alright let's go..." she says. "Okay just follow me." Inka says running off to the spot with Tsuya on her heels.

[Caedus]

His eyes snapped widen open, his body covered in sweat. He sat up, breathing heavily as he looked around trying to figure out on what just happened. The man who had been ill and stuck in bed for soo long, once more woke up. The pair of two Mangekyou Sharingan Eyes that haunted his dreams flashed in his mind as he shook his head.

"Relax.." The soft caring voice instantly giving the man relief. "Oh..its you.." The man slowly said as he lay back down, attempting to relax. "Have they...given up on me?" The man asked, opening one eye.

"No..but in a sense..they'll all turning to Kenshin.." The woman smiled yet there was something wrong and it was obvious too both of them. "What about..Sasuke..?" The man slowly asked. The woman bit her lip, unsure what too say. The man ran his hand over his face and then a slight smirk slowly crept on his face. "Just..dont tell anybody Im awake.." The woman's face finally returned to a smile. The large Uchiha Tent soley shelted the great Uchiha leader..

[Addeh]

Hikaru got his stuff together. "Gloves... Clothes... Scrolls... Soldier pills..." He said, looking over all of his things. He put a hand over the spot where the chakra seal was and took a deep breath. Things will be fine... I hope... He thought. Hikaru felt Tensai sniffing around at his feet. He bent down to his knees to pet the dog. "Tensai, you are coming as well." He said and stood himself back up, putting Tensai on his shoulder.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu nodded and looked at the seal on paper attached by a string of yarn around his wrist and as it burned briefly his first thoughts where; I really cant keep using these kind of seals... I need to find one that's stronger or can cut how much chakra I can use at one time.
He looked back up and said, "It's not a requirement but I would prefer it."

[RyuAce]

Yahiko gathered all his supplies, grabbing his sword last and strapping it to his side.

"Okay...Ready?" Kihei asks, waiting for him. Yahiko nods and Kihei senses out where the others are. He begins walking with Yahiko towards them.

[Mai-Sama]

The crunching of grass can be heard as a young girl runs from three masked men. She jumps into a tree and continues leaping from tree to tree, swiftly. She jumps out of a tree branch and lands on the cool grass, breathing heavily as sweat rolls down her face. "Geez...what I do to deserve this?" Kimika shakes her head, tightening her fist, hearing the men get closer. "Oh well..looks like I only got one option to get rid of these losers." She licks her dry lips and gets in position to fight.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

The sounds of footsteps got closer and more audible as seconds went by. In his lying position Seta could somewhat tell those were rather of either a vicious chase or a cat-and-mouse game.

Bah... Who cares? He yawned and brought up his left leg on the other knee as he lay in a small tree branch aimed to the open meadow. He had been trying to seek an infeasible eternal sleep to forget about the disaster he was on the process to finally accept.

One figure finally emerged from the thick constitution of the forest and landed on the verdant grass below. Despite his attempt to be a who-carer, Seta couldn't resist his curiosity to sit up and watch what would possibly happen next...

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika smirks at the three masked men as she takes a few steps back. "Three men against one little girl. Well...isn't that fair?" Heavy sarcasm can be heard in her voice. The men look at her while holing their kunais. "Step down, Deafu. You're wanted - "

Kimika rolls her eyes, interuppting, "For murder and being a runaway. I know. This isn't old news to me, bud." She glares at the men, feeling a cool breeze come up behind her. She finally takes a step forward and appears behind the three men. "Shadow Leaf Dance!" The men stay still as Kimika holds her hands. Their shadows look attached to her shadow and she smirks. "Like a rat in a trap..." Her eyes widen as clones pop. "Crap!" She leaps in a tree and look around for her real oppenents.

"Ok. I know this can't be good."

[Caedus]

"They should be electing the new Hokage..any ideas.." The strong, calm voice sounding through the darkness. A dark smirk on the hidden man's face as his large, muscular size remained unknown. The presence of the area was very odd, some dared people to enter yet they knew their curisoity would lead to their death.

"I think you know the answer..to me its a rather obvious choice.." A second figure responding..his eyes slowly opening. The second figure remained seated on the chair, starting to move a bit as if he had just woken up from a little nap. A desk remained behind the figure..papers scattered out, nothing but information and other importants papers that mattered to the man.

"Heh..perhaps we should say hello..what do you think?" The sound of the chuckling first figure continued to echo throughout the cave. The larger man looked down at the sitting, second figure.

"Your scythe..-" The second figure did not finish as the sound of more chuckling echoed through the darkness. "Relax..its broken, but in the process I've developed a new weapon..something that can easily define me from the Maeda Clan of Iwagakure no Sato"

"You should relax and focus on your healing. You dont want to suffer pointless injuries.." The second figure kept his gaze on the floor..he was almost completely awake.

"Come now..were healed, there's very few in the world who pose a problem to us. All were doing is just waiting for our next mission..besides..both of us are considered dead" The first man kept his smirk and laughed lowly a bit more before he began to walk away..

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Seta had been fully sitting on the branch, unexpectedly engrossed in the clash down there at the meadow. He had no idea who to support, all four of them seemed to be new comers in this forest.

But while Konohagakure was on its process of reconstruction, sudden appearances like those could be suspicious.

But so what? Seta sighed and look up to the sky as his mind accidentally touched his own trouble. Seconds past, and his eyes absently directed down again to the girl standing alone fighting against the three masked men.

Should figure herself. One down under, one up high, and one hiding yards away. He started to watch the area, curious of how this lone girl would defend herself against such ferocious opponents, who would be bound to overpower Seta if they ever countered him the way he was now.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika catches a flying needle from behind her and throws it back, followed by a dart. She jumps back and kicks off from a tree, landing in a tree branch a few feet away. She wipes her forehead with the back of her arm, looking around the area. She looks up, hearing a swift movement and throws a kunai at a black blur. A dead man falls to the ground, blood stinking up the area. She sighs in relief. "One down. Two to go." She flips out of the tree, waiting for her oppenents once more. Kimika looks up, and sees a dark figure. She bares her teeth, stepping back.

"It's not one of those men. Who is that?"

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Impressive." Seta mumbled to himself. Even if he never decided who to cheer and who to boo, three against one would actually never satisfy the 'three' if they did want some cheerings.

"Detecting physical appearance just by hearing from such a distance and finishing with an one-hit kill... Hmm... This person is someone to fear." As the girl spotted him, Seta started to smirk in amusement, temporarily forgetting about his unfortunacy.

"Don't waste time glaring at me. Watch your own back!" Seta shouted, already spotting another shinobi planning an attack for the girl from behind her back.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika's eyes widen slightly and she turns her head slightly, seeing a masked man run toward her. She jumps up and kicks his jaw, sending him back into a tree, knocking him out. "Heh..." She looks at the boy and smirks, "Thank you!" Kimika flips back into the shadows, not being able to be seen. A masked man jumps up from behind the boy, looking for Kimika. He jumps into the grass, looking around, until he's pulled into the ground. Kimika comes out from under the ground, glaring down at a man, holding a kunai. "Well...looks like my job's done."

"Let me out of this, Deafu!"

Kimika smirks at the man and pats his head playfully. "Not on your life." She kicks his head, hearing a pop in his neck. She moves away from the man and looks at the boy. A tired look can be seen in her eye, as well as a confused one. "Thanks for the advise. You pretty much saved my butt."

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Thank yourself lady." Seta casually acknowledged that the fight had ended, and without a care, he took his legs upon to the branch again and started to lie down, his head on his hands.

Sounds like strange people just popped up these times. He shook his head, trying to find some peace in a deep sleep again. Haizz... Don't even know where to go next...

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika rubs her shoulder then turns to walk away while picking up a few weapons. She looks back at the boy then shakes her head.

"I guess it'd be best not to bother him."

Kimika chews on her bottom lip then continues walking. She rubs her forehead again, feeling a little more sweat run down her face. "Oii..." She stops walking and sits down under a tree. She closes her eyes, feeling the shade cool her off.

"Strange guy."

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Seta had been squirming hard before he sat up and stroked his entire face with a hand. "Next time I'm gonna go sleeping underwater." He said almost cursing before taking out an apple and took a bite. "Long time no see my dear friend." The taste was pretty strange and to an extent, radical according to Seta's previous experience with apples.

Anyway, he had been in shortage of this fruit for months, and he didn't figure out why he could survive without a bit from that.

As he opened his eyes, the expression on his face turned purple... This turned out to be why the taste seemed so... radical.

There was a legion of maggots squirming inside the fresh fruit.

Then perhaps a half of the whole forest could hear Seta's grevious scream.

[Kuno]

Kiya stands as she watches the group gathering back up. "Tereya should be safe among them...I shouldn't worry...." she thinks to herself as she looks down at her sister.

Tora stands grinning from ear to ear glad that she was able to put such a group together. She sees Kenshin walking and she gives him a big wave hoping he will come over to the group so she can make sure if he is going or not.
_______________________________

Ichijin nods at Ryu. "Right...tell me what you prefer and I will go aquire one while we are waiting for the others to return." he states to him.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika wakes up instantly and rushes back to the boy. "The hell?!" She glares at him, holding up her fist. "Can you be any louder?!" Her left eye twitches and she slowly puts down her fist, closing her eyes and breathing through her flaring nostrils.

"Can I not have at least one day without any of this happening?!"

She opens her eyes and looks at the boy. "What was with the yell? I was trying to sleep, Big Mouth." Kimika puts her hands on her hips, obviously annoyed.

[Caedus]

Kenshin paused as he saw Tora. For some reason she was waving..but he did not bother to question it. He just shrugged and proceeded to walk over..trying to end his boredom. Maybe she knew something that he didnt..

"I'm going for a walk..if they need me..I'm outside" His eyes now fully wide open. His entire face was covered by the darkness but there was something that gave him away. His two three tomoe crimision eyes piercing through the darkness. There was a slight chucke "Of course.." The first figure responded. Soon enough..the second figure stood up and disappeared in the darkness..deciding to take a little stretch in the woods..

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Tphm...Phhm... Shi... Aye..." Seta knelt on the branch and tried with all his might to let out everything he had accidentally let in. His mouth seemed too busy with apple and maggots to pay attention to the girl's annoyance.

He leaned against the tree, sticking his tongue out and raised an index finger so as to communicate with the stranger with any type of body language he could invent at that time.

Of course, this effort seemed futile, since invention normally needed time to be acknowledged.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika lifts her eyebrow, seeming to calm down. "You gonna be sick?" She takes a step back. "If that's the case, don't look at me as the puke-bucket."

"Talk about odd. Maybe he ate something bad?"

Kimika looks at the boy, her eyebrow still lifted. "What you eat last? You don't look too good right now."

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe pokes her head out from behind Gondara, still blushing. "Hey Kenshin" she says, then gives another pitial wave, but the smile was real. She comes out from behind Gondara, seeing how they were talking of other things. Her eyes trail to Kenshin for a second, then look at the ground, showing a sad smile. Ashe's mind trails to her uncle. Did he feel the same way as all the others?? Many questions were in her mind, but they weren't important at the moment. The mission as the priority right?

[Captain Obvious]

The two get to the spot, "Haha! Lost again!" Inka says to Tsuya with a grin. "Oh shut that empty hole you call a mouth!" Tsuya replies but is chuckling.

Inka laughs, "Well good luck on your mission!" she says patting Tsuya's back. "How many times do I have to say, I don't want to be touched!" Tsuya says turning and back handing Inka.

"Did you just slap me?....it was a b*tch slap at that...." Inka stands there stunned and Tsuya says, "Okay who do I need to speak to?" walking randomly, waiting for someone to answer.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Seta looked down to the ground where he dropped the crappy fruit and still with his tongue stuck out, pointed with a disgusted expression toward the random spot the apple could be at.

He then raised both of his index finger and started to make them move in a wavy orbit, driving them back and forth, and at last pointed to his stuck-out tongue.

Seta shrugged and shook his head, eyes glancing up in a rather 'I-quit' fashion. He wasn't sure if the person down there could understand.

As a mean of politeness, Seta nodded continuously to the girl gesturing her to move and take care of her own business... That was the first time Seta let a girl off without his signature tricky greetings, perhaps partially because of what she had displayed simply demonstrated that he would easily have his ass kicked if anything was out of manner.

Still, he guessed he would vow to stay away from apple... From now on.... Forever...

OOC: Sorry, gotta go now, won't be back for half a day I think. Have fun guys.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika becomes annoyed at this and rolls her eyes. She turns on her heel and walks away from the boy, tossing back her hair. "Whatever. I think you can handle this yourself. I got better places to be at."

She leaps in a tree a few feet away and continues leaping from tree to tree in swift movements. She purses her lips, thoughtfully, taking quick glances at the scenery, hoping that no one can hear her or see her. For all she knows, anyone can be after her. She growls at the thought and moves faster, this time, only looking ahead.

"Geez..."

[Caedus]

Kenshin nodded towards Ashe and then looked at the group of people who assembled there. He looked around as he shrugged.."Well..?" The young Uchiha asked, curious. He wasnt sure what was going on but then again, this was relieving him out of his boredom. If he was lucky..they had information on the mission he was told about..

[Kuno]

Tora grins at Kenshin. "We have a mission that needs to go out. It is checking some land out a ways that might interfere with the growth of the new village. We are getting a squad together. We feel..." Tora fidgets a bit looking at him always intimidated by the Uchiha's. "We feel it might be a good idea for a couple of your clan to go also...a sign of faith and uniting..." she says grining at him.

Kiya turned as the pair of girls walked up and turned toward them. She and Tereya look on in surprise as the one slapped Inka. "Um...uh...hhhmm..." Kiya says and chuckles shaking her head. "Is this the one?" she says to Inka as Tereya stands stunned. "Good...I think people will be leaving soon...."

[ChamberTrist]

Gondara watches as ashe comes out from behind him. He then noticed how she was acting. "Hmm..? Whats wrong Ashe? You look like somethings on your mind..." he asked, looking at her.

[Mai-Sama]

OOC - yeah...i'm gonna go too. i don't know where i can fit in the RP right now. :sweatdrop

[Caedus]

"Well..Im not sure how many Uchiha are not occupied but I think I know two brothers who are free and pretty much wouldnt mind going on this little mission..would that be good enough?" Kenshin asked. The two brothers he reffered to were a few years older then him..twins..still either way, he felt pretty confident that whatever they ran into..wouldnt give them much trouble..

[Kuno]

OOC: Mai-If you want me to...I can bring you in...just let me know and I will think of something...

Tora nods. "Okay...that will work. We would like to get things moving as soon as possible. Do you think they would be ready to go with in the hour?" she asks him still fidgeting a bit.

Ichijin looks at Ryu and says. "Come on...the armoury tent is that far from here. We will get you a sword now while we are still waiting for everyone to get ready and to group up." he says as he strides purposely toward the tent he mentioned.

[Caedus]

"Yea..I can go now and tell them" Kenshin offered. He knew exactly where to find them. Despite them being older..they did not act like it and were mostly focused on food but when things were important..they got serious as usual but the fact they acted so childish at times made them very confusing.

[Captain Obvious]

Inka nods slowly then shakes her head violently, "Yes that is the b*tch." she says clucthing her left hand into a fist, "D*mn do I want to smack her right now..." she then says as there is a mark on her cheek from Tsuya's hand.

Tsuya looks around, "Okay nobody's aknowladging me..." she says with a glare and comes storming back silently sulking.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu gave a slight nod and followed him after him, his battle wounds still hurt but it was slowly going the pain or he was just learning to cope with it; he didn't get this badly wounded often, in-fact he couldn't remember the last time he was this badly hurt from a single jutsu.

[Kuno]

Tora nods to Kenshin. "Thank you Kenshin-san that would be very much appreciated..." she says trying to sound as formal and authoritive as possible but coming off more like a child playing pretend.
_____________________________

Kiya shakes her head at the pair as Tereya continues to stare wide eyed. "So you are?" Kiya says to the girl. "And are you ready to go?" she asks her trying to distract them from each other.
_____________________________

Ichijin pulls back the tent flap and gestures inside. "You should find a suitable weapon inside." he states to Ryu. "I will wait here while you are making your selection."

[RyuAce]

Yahiko runs up to Kiya as he sees her. Kihei left him to do something else after a bit, needing to check on some things.

"I'm ready." He grins a bit. "When're we leaving?"

[LunarCoast]

Ryu nodded and walked into the tent, he quickly looked through the Katana's until he found one he liked and was comfortable with and came back out of the tent, he asked, "What is the mission excatly... if you dont mind me asking?"

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe smiles to Gondara "Its okay..." she looks to Kenshin and puts her hands behind her back, smiling. She had hoped that her uncle would be okay. Her mind wandered to Kensin, and the other Uchiha's but that quickly wipes from her mind. "Thank you Kensin....." she gives a sincere smile then nods, looking back to Gondara, but then looking away when she finds herself blushing.

[Captain Obvious]

"Hentei, Tsuya. And yes I am ready...didn't bring anything with me." Tsuya says glaring at Inka while she is glaring back. "Is it even possible for you NOT to be ready?" Inka says rudely and sarcastically.

"Well f*ck you too then..." Tsuya says. "Well then go off on your mission acadamy student." Inka says. "Well you never help with anything." Tsuya mocks. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT!?" Inka yells.

[ChamberTrist]

Gondara gave a slight smirk when he saw Ashe blushing, "Well....if you say so..." He said, continuing to smile.

[Mai-Sama]

OOC - i'm here and i'll just see what i can do for now. :amuse

Kimika stops in a tree branch and sits down on it. Unfortunately for her, she didn't know it was a weak tree branch. It begins to crack. She looks down and mutters under her breath, "Fuck..." The tree branch finally breaks off the tree and Kimika falls to the ground, the tree branch landing on her back. She lets out a cry of pain then slowly gets on her hands and knees, weaken from the tree branch landing on her back. She slowly forces herself to her feet, wincing. "Well....that was just great." Kimika leans against a tree for support and sighs, closing her eyes.

[Addeh]

Hikaru walked in the direction that he sensed Tereya's chakra. Tereya... Is she even much of a kunoichi? I have never seen her fight... Will I have to protect her this whole mission? He wondered as he walked. Tensai nudged the side of Hikaru's face to let him know that things would go okay.

[Mai-Sama]

Kimika sences a strange presence then opens her eyes. She steps away from the tree, tightening her fists and letting some of her chakra lose.

"Someone's coming. Will I have to fight again?"

She grinds her teeth, becoming irritated. She flips into the tree, careful not to land on any rotting tree branches this time.

[Kuno]

Kiya watches the two and chuckles. "Nice...now there is two of them..." she mumbles to herself with a shake of her head.

Tereya stands and watches them surprised at how Inka takes the girl.
_________________________________

Ichijin nods as Ryu comes out and they walk back to the group. "We are suppose to check a piece of land not far from here. It seems that on the map it shows up a bit strange and they want to make sure that it will not cause problems with the building of the new village." he says as they walk back to the group.

OOC: Okay sounds good XD Let me know if you want someone to bring you into the camp XD

[LunarCoast]

Ryu nodded and said, "It's unlikly we'd end up fighting then right? Thats a good thing since I dont think I ould be much help with my wounds."Ryu stated even though it was stateing the ovberious.

The Ninja Maexon sent watched the group mainly watching Ryu's activitys.

[Mai-Sama]

OOC - my sis is annoying me. bbl.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe stays quiet, her eyes away from Gondara. She could feel his smirk watching her amusingly. Her eyes trail to the others, and listens to their conversations. Ashe grabs a band from her pocket and puts her hair up, well, puts the hair tie at the bottom. Her hair resembled Neji's but in girlish form, once again. Loose strands of long hair, but shorter than the rest were in front , near her face. These must have been her bangs. Ashe was , unnoticably on one foot, well most of the weight anyways.

[Captain Obvious]

"WE ARE NOTHING LIKE EACHOTHER!!!" They both yell at the same time, glaring at eachother after the fact and giving a silent stare down. After many moments they give up and turn their backs to eachother and Inka storms away, leaving Tsuya there. "The Idoit is even more of one than I remember..." Tsuya remarks turning to Kiya and Tereya.

[Addeh]

Hikaru arrived by Tereya and the others. "Hey there..." He said with a wave and looked around. "What's going on?" He asked. "Having a bit of a fight?" He added, seeing Inka storm off. Tensai jumped down off his shoulder and sniffed around Tereya and Kiya.

[Caedus]

Kenshin smirked slightly at Tora before disappearing. It was rather funny of her to act the way she was. The young Uchiha paused..heading towards where most of the Uchiha tents were. "Yo Kenshin!" The sound of a young man's voice sounding off as Kenshin shook his head. Looks like he already found them..

Out from behind the camp, a Uchiha was holding a bowl of ramen, eating rather quickly. "Hey..hurry up and finish, your needed along with your brother" Kenshin stated.

"Oi, but seriously now..whats the problem" The second Uchiha appearing right behind Sasuke.

"This was easier then I thought..anyways..just get yur asses together, were going on a mission and I want both of you to come along" Kenshin stated as he looked up at them.."But where, why" The first figure asked.

"Just pack up and lets go..we gotta do some recon or whatever..pull yourselves together" kenshin said as he looked at the first figure in the eye. There was some brief silence but it wasnt long till the first figure nodded. The second one shrugged. "Oi, we'll be back" And just like that..the two figures disappeared..most likely getting their stuff together.

"Calling on Gouzu and Meizu..why did I bother.." Kenshin thought.

[ChamberTrist]

After listening to their conversation for a bit, his eyes started to trail to Ashe, lossing contact with what was going on. He took one step up to Ashe's side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, smiling at her.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe blushes and looks down, not moving. Her lips twitched as if she was about to smile. "Is this really the time Gondy??" she mumbles, trying ot get it to where only he was able to hear. Her hair covered most of her face, but could not cover the deep red blush that had made it's home on her cheeks. She seemed "Happy" and "content" at the moment, which was highly unsuaul.

[ChamberTrist]

He gives a slight smirk. "I don't know....is it?" he said giving a slight chuckle as he continued to look at her. While he was looking at her, the wind was blowing his long red hair, almost rythmically.((damnit, can't think of anything else.....))

[Emo_panda227]

Her eye twitches. "This isn't really a appropreite time...and our..friends are here.." she mumbles and pouts some, the red blush still staying on her cheeks. Her cheeks felt warm, which was unusual to her. How can Gondara make her this way?? Did she have feelings for him?? Ashe pushes those thoughts away, not believing them and looks down still, not bothering to move his hand. His arms were big compared to her shoulders, and arms.

[ChamberTrist]

He smiles some. "I don't care if our friends are here. Besides, they aren't paying attention to us, their just talking about the mission...so does it really even matter?" He asked her with a bit of a playful voice.((god damn these 3 liners =_='))

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe blushes more "Your doing this on purpose Gondy.." she muttered. The blush still stayed, as if it had a permanent home on her cheeks. Her eyes trail away from him, her hair had moved , thanks to the wind, showing most of her face. Ashe tries to calm down by listening to the others talking. She hoped that they could not hear the conversation between the two.

[Kuno]

Kiya sighs looking at Tsuya and thinks. "Glad we are seperating them...don't think the camp could handle having them together..." as Tereya watches her friend storm off in surprise not use to seeing her not respond to someone like that.

Then she turns to Hikaru. "N-not sure..." she says with her normal around everyone stutter though she smiles warmly at him.

Kiya bends down and pets Tensai as she glances at Tsuya and shakes her head. "Well...at least you will be able to help defend the team if need be..." she says looking at her.

Tora finally laughs as she looks at Gondara and Ashe. "Congratulations! And don't worry, nobody cares about a little affection!" she says grinning at the pair and pats her stomach slightly giving them a wink. "Just be careful!" she adds laughingly and turns to see who of the group was back and ready to go.

Ichijin smiles faintly at Ryu. "Don't worry. I don't think we will have any of that." he says then sighs slightly. "No one left to fight..."

[ChamberTrist]

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not....." he said, toying with her for a moment. After he said that, he brough his hand up and brush her cheek a little as he continued to look at her with a smile on his face. He then looks over to tora and blushes a little, thinking it was a bit weird and random that she would say something like that. "Uhhhh...." was the only thing that came out of his mouth at the time.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe smirks and looks away "I told you...". She grins some then looks up, the blush gone. Ashe willingly let him keep his arm around her. She snickers "As if.." she replyed to Tora, blushing again, but only slightly. Her eyes trail to the forest "When are we leaving anyways?" she asks , wanting to get off the subject. Ashe felt safe and normal under his arm.

[Caedus]

It wasnt long till Kenshin was spotted again with the two brothers. They were walking in a different manner. They were having their own little strut and bounce to their walk. The two brothers also kept aruging about pointless matters as the group of Uchiha were closing in. Kenshin was starting to regret on offering to bring the two. This mission could easily end in a disaster..

[Kuno]

Kiya smiles at Yahiko. "Shortly I would think..." she says to the boy as she stands.

Tora sees Kenshin and the pair walking with him and smiles as she scans around her. "Okay..." she begins "Kenshin-san and the pair...Ashe, Tereya, Ichijin, Ryu, Yahiko, Hikaru, and Tsuya..." she grins at the group pulling out a map and handing it to Ichijin.

Ichijin takes the map looking at it for a moment then puts it away.

"This spot of land isn't to far. See what you can find out. The details are on the paper with the map. Good luck! We will see you when you get back!" she says grinning at the group.

"Hai!" Ichijin states. "Let's go." he says turning and heading out of the camp to the spot on the map.

[Addeh]

Tensai jumped back onto Hikaru's shoulder. "Bye, all." He said and walked next to Ichijin. "Ichijin... If you get in my way... You will regret it." He whispered to him.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko nods, following them out. He keeps his sword firmly in his hand, a stance he learned to draw it from in a quick movement when needed. He keeps pace with Tereya, knowing her the most out of the group.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe runs quickly soon after the first person departed. She runs a few behind, but near Kenshin, and the brothers. Her hair blew behind her, looking as if wanting to escape it's bond: a hairtye. Ashe grins, excited about being on a mission, since she hadn't been on one in forever. Her eyes look forward, but it was noticable she was limping slightly.

[Kuno]

Kiya smiles at Tereya as she gives a shakey smile and follows the group grateful that Yahiko is staying near her. The pair give waves. "Be careful!" They both call as they watch the group leave.

Ichijin looks at Hikaru his eyes flat. "How would I get in your way?" he says with no emotion. "Just stay out of mine and we will be fine." he said dismissing him.

[ChamberTrist]

Gondara just stood and watched as his friends ran off on their mission. After a moment he decided he needed to relax and headed to the lake.
~30 minutes later
He arrives at the lake and takes off his top and jumps into the lake, relaxing, letting all the things around him, drift from his mind.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko waves back to them as he continues with Tereya. He glances around at the rest of the group, taking in each of them. He only knew about Hikaru and Tereya mostly...The others, he hadn't heard or seen much from.

"They'll be fine..." Kurama comments from behind Kiya. Kihei and Kurama had come back from what they were doing as the group was leaving.

[Caedus]

Ugh.." Kenshin thought. Just as soon as the group left for the mission..problems were occuring with a pointless problem from the two reknowed twin Uchiha brothers..

"No..what are you talking about..Asuka is hotter then Yukina" Gouzu stated. "No...Yukina is better!" Gouzu exact counterpart responded. The two continued to argue about which girl they was hotter and oddly enough..Kenshin found himself right in the middle of them.

"Just why the hell did I have to bring them along.." Kenshin thought. He couldnt tell if they were joking and trying to annoy the entire group or actually having another pointless debate.

"Get it through your thick skull you ass..Asuka is more hotter then Yukina, Yukina is too quiet!" Gouzu said again. The two brothers continued to go back and forth, they faced each other as they moved at a swift speed yet they stayed near each other perfectly.

"You too..just..shut..up" Kenshin stated..he knew the others were most likely annoyed. The two girls they were referring too obviously were amoung the civilians that stayed with the Uchiha Clan after losing the Village..

[Kuno]

Tereya kept glancing back at the three as they rushed forward trying to ignore them but unable to at the moment. She finally gave a slight giggle as Kenshin snapped at the pair.

Ichijin on the other hand tried to block them out. "I think they may die on this mission..." he mumbles to himself irritatedly.
__________________________________________

Kiya and Tora both jumped slightly Kiya giving a light squeak as the pair came up behind them. They were so worried about the group, though mostly Tereya, that they hadn't heard them come up behind them. They whirled around then chuckled slightly both glancing in the direction the group had gone.

"I am sure they will be fine..." Kiya said trying to agree with Kurama as Tora nods slightly. "So what what were you two up to?" she asks giving them a smile.

[RyuAce]

"Checking on everyone...We had to tlak to Touya about something too..." Kurama says, glancing at Kihei. "Sore subject..."

"Bastard froze my arm..." Kihei comments, rubbing his arm as it hangs limply at his side. "Damn ice..."

"I told you to be careful about that reaction, taichou..." Kurama responds, sighing slightly.

"Yeah, well...didn't think he'd attack his own taichou...Geez..." Kihei sighs too, rubbing his arm more.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe was rather annoyed with the two brothers, but didn't speak out against their behavior. Her cousin had chosen them, so that had to be somewhat good. She wondered why they fought over every little detail, sheeh. Her eyes go back to the front as she speeds up a bit. A tiny hint of pain goes over her face but she quickly turned back to normal.

[Caedus]

Kenshin closed his eyes in relief, just when he finally thought there would be peace. The brothers smirked and went at it again but this time..the two were working together against the young Uchiha who stopped them. Both of them eyed each other as they kept their smirk before settling their gaze towards Kenshin who realized something was going on.

"Oh..what's wrong little Kenshin, jealous that you dont have a woman for yourself" Gouzu asked.

"Oi, sure they arent ours but I tellin ya now, their gonna be" The second brother responded, smirking.

Kenshin kept his face forward, not responding to their taunts. "Oi, what's wrong? you put your brother to shame..he didnt do anything, stayed natural and.." The second brother then didnt finish as he looked at Kenshin, his bangs were covering his eyes and Gouzu gave his brother a stare, they had crossed a certain line..the best thing for them was to shut up and they did just that.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe smirks some "Idoits..." after they had started again, then angered Kenshin. 'Not the shineyest Kunai in the pouch....' she thinks then chuckles some, starting to go some more. A few times, a red drop of liquid seeped out from her skin, her foot. Ashe still kept up with the others, then went o Kenshins spot, then lowerd/uppered her speed to his. She was thinking of why they would send so many shinobi to check out this one spot, it bothered her.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

The starlight was contagious on the nightsky, and the cool fresh air of an autumn evening was filled with the melodious chirps of the joyous crickets. The grand group of ten shinobies had been consistently, but without a very fast pace, on their trip of expedition, nonchalantly enough to have abandoned the mobility of tree branches as a mean of transportation platforms so as to reach the wealthy soil covered in green leaves to stroll pleasantly, soon seeking a brief rest.

In this time of the year in the mid-autumn, the monthly full moon was at its best, radiating a pleasant celestial light in a whole circle.


___________________


Tiny X marks were filled out in a minor area within the blank circle of the New Hidden Leaf on the construction map. Otawa closely examined numerous sketches on his desk, depicting different aspects of the new village on reconstruction. Standing feet away leaning against the wall, the blue-haired, mummy-faced Hajima crossed his arms absently watching the new Hokage dedicated on his work.

"10 sent, and we only got hundreds. You don't think that was a big... redundancy do ya?" Hajima turned to the blank spot in front of him as he said.

Otawa looked up rolling his eyes before returning to his exhausting paperwork. "What's the deal? Two days arriving and two days returning, if nothing stands in their way."

"Oh, right. Nothing stands in their way. How about if there was?" Hajima rolled his visible eye and turned back to the Hokage.

"Then we got 10 capable shinobies ready for anything." Otawa absently answered, still sticking his gaze on the confusing maps Hajima had handed in.

"That's what I'm talking about." Hajima sighed. "Thought 5 was enough. They have an elite jounin among them."

"Ichijin? Ah that's a good lad." Otawa chuckled, trying to drive the convo away.

"And Hikaru, Ashe, Gouzu and Meizu... Aren't they all Jounins? Why so many? You wanna make them feel useless when sending them altogether for this... D-rank mission?" Hajima shrugged.

"Your sure?" Otawa smiled and looked up. "What's the big deal then? To hell with it, we can still build our home without 10 of them... Besides, I trust Megumi, I believe she and Tora had their own reason to send so many."

"Doubt it. We're gonna see about that." Hajima sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu muttered, under his breath; "Such a large group for a simple mission... It's not like where on a S or A rank mission..." He raised his tone then asked out of curoisity, "Why we using so meny ninja for a mission this stright forward and simple?" Ryu thought to himself, I should get to know the group better.

Using such a large group of Ninja will be problematic if I end up being discovered or forced into combat with all of them... My best chance of targeting that Byakugan user would likly be when he's isolated or far from the group... Even then he will be a problem for me to take out. The Ninja thought to herself, naturally keeping her Chakra surpressed so it was hard to be detected. I'm best waiting until they get are alone or in a small group or I dout i'll win.

[Kuno]

Ichijin looked around as they moved through the undergrowth of the forest. He had already sensed the presence watching them but he chose to stay quiet sure that he wasn't the only one that had. He would wait and watch letting his Byakugan deactivate for the moment he decided it would be good to call for a rest since many were still recovering. "This seems like a good spot. Let us stop for a time." he says as he entered a clearing. There was a small stream of cool clear water running down the middle of it and the ground was soft with a coating of moss. A perfect place for a goup of shinobi to rest for a while.

"H-hai..." Tereya said as she slowed her pace and walked to the stream. She knelt down and splashed some of the cool water on her face and drank a bit. Ichijin kept watch leaning his back against a tree as he watched the others settle around the clearing.
__________________________________

Kiya looked at Kihei's arm. "I am sorry to hear he is still being upset..." she said with a sigh. "The only thing that will help him is time..." she adds wrapping her arms around Kihei's waist and laying her head on his chest.

"Trust me...I can completely understand what he is going through..." Tora says with a sigh as she puts her hands on her stomach.

Kiya looked at her sadly knowing the secret she held. "What do I say? How do I tell her...I should check on them...." Kiya thinks of the pair laying in a tent somewhere deep in the camp.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu stopped and looked at Ichijin, "Is their something wrong? You seem alittle too aware for a mission like this?" Umm... Maybe he's abit uneasy about me being part of a mission when he hardly knows me at all.

Their stopping eh? Maybe this would be a good time to prepare.She stopped and sat down on the branch of a tree and checked her pouch for what weapons she brought.

[Kuno]

Ichijin turned his large Hyuuga eyes to Ryu as he crossed his arms and thought for a moment. He looked around at the group seeing some sticking together and others sitting to the side alone their thoughts in directions that they only knew. "It is a time of strife for Konoha. We are at the weakest we have ever been. For an enemy land this would be the perfect time to swoop down and try to take that which they have always seeked. Now would be the worst time to let down our guard. We must constantly be aware of our surroundings. You are a good shinobi I am sure you understand what I mean." he said to Ryu as he continued to scan the surrounding forest and those that accompanied him on the mission.

[Caedus]

OOC: Post One hundred :P


Kenshin as the group at last took a short break. Gouzu and Meizu thought about apologing but it wasnt their style, in fact it was Kenshin enough who walked over. The two looked at each other, unsure what to do.

"Hey" Kenshin said, his natural facial expression had returned, he looked up at the two twin brothers. Wearing the casual Jounin outfit, their near almost complete indenticle apperances often would confuse other people. There was no wonder why the two often played pranks at the academy growing up. The two of course..also knew how each other thought could tell how each other are feeling. Nobody knew them more then themselves.

"Oi, what you need?" Meizu asked, curious. "Nothing..listen..Im just curious about Uchiha Tekka, the Jounin I was talking too" Kenshin asked.

"Ooh, he's a War Hero and known for his violent temper. We both find it funny how he scolds his kid but of course, he's a good man, why?" Gokuzu stated. This statement also earned another "Oi" from Meizu.

Kenshin nodded before turning back to Ichijin and the others, curious to see how they were doing.

[LunarCoast]

"I can understand that but I dont really consider every village to be a threat... Surely the sand village isn't? We've helped each other in the past and considering their pritty strong it might make other villages think twice."Ryu said he sat down besides Ichijin and added, "Have you ever made a promise to someone before?"

[RyuAce]

Kihei sighs slightly, putting his arms around Kiya and glancing at Tora.

"Yeah...Just didn't expect him to attack us over it..." He doesn't say anything about Dante, having known about it from Yahiko and sensing Dante inside hte camp...but he figures that Kiya isn't telling her for a reason so he keeps quiet about it as well.

[Addeh]

Hikaru let Tensai off his shoulder, who walked over to the water and started to drink. Hikaru looked around. "I hope these people are decent shinobi..." He said. "I don't want to have to protect everyone..." He continued to mumble to himself. He looked at the chakra seal that was placed on him. "The dark chakra... It made me feel powerful and weak at the same time..." He mumbled, his hand on the seal.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko glares slightly in Hikaru's direction, having heard him easily. He was sending chakra into each of his senses to improve them. He readjusts his sword at his side and slips one hand into his pocket, turning back to the path ahead of them. He speaks without looking at Hikaru.

"Don't try to act tough. I heard you were pretty weak as it was..."

[Kuno]

Ichijin looks at him for a moment considering what he said. "At this point, I would put nothing past the countries that stand at full strength. Suna has no idea what has happened here at this point. Do you think that dictator continued the alliance? Or if he did, do you think they would sympathize with us now? We, at this point, are completely on our own. At least from my point of view." He says his eyes unreadable.

He then considers Ryu's question. "I have made promises before. I have been able to keep most of them. But, some, unfortunatly had to be broken. It could have been circumstances or the promise itself. Why do you ask?" he says glancing at Ryu for a moment then once again scanning the shinobi in the group. "Discord has already started..." he thinks as he waits for Ryu's answer.
_____________________________________

Tora sighs and nods glancing at Kiya and Kihei almost envious of what they have together. "You should understand...people take grief differently." she says thinking for a moment. "There were times...that I wanted to kill someone. It didn't matter who...it wouldn't matter if they made me angry. In fact...when they went to find Ichirou, I almost told Vergil-sempei to rip him limb from limb..." she scratches the back of her head sheepishly having admitted her feelings.

Kiya closed her eyes tightly while she squeezed Kihei a little closer. As her emotions warred inside her head trying to keep her secret shut away for the moment.

[Caedus]

"Didnt Kenpachi eventually intend on invading Suna..what if he already did.." Kenshin thought, listening in to the conversation. Gouzu and Meizu were off in the woods, doing something. Maybe they were going to play a trick or doing something productive. It did not matter..it was still peaceful and quiet in the area. The young Uchiha signed, closing his eyes to think about what he had learned from the Uchiha Jounin..War really was a complicated thing.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu turned his attention to his hand and said, "I made a promise when I was a child to an freind, that i'd become a the greatest swordsmen but so far, I havn't came close... even Marxon as powerful as he is he cant eat the 'greatest' swordsmen in an one on one duel so if I cant beat him... then i'll never forfill my promise. Personally, I think a promise is something you should never brake or give up on."

[RyuAce]

"Its understandable..." Kihei smiles a bit sadly before he continues. "Killing Ichirou wouldn't ease the grief...It can temporarily, but it wont' fade away..." He sighs then. "I know from my brother...I've never felt satisfaction over killing him for what he did to our family...I felt better when I killed him...but the grief never left...It was actually worse from the fact that I had to kill him for it..." He shakes his head slightly. "Its probably for the best that Ichirou didn't die...as bad as that sounds...It might've made you feel better, but it wouldn't have lasted..."

[Kuno]

"Hhmm..." Ichijin thinks for a moment his hand rubbing his chin. He bends his legs up stretching his arms out across his knees. "Promises....aren't always as cut and dry as some seem to think they are..." he says after a moment. "In your case I can see your dilemma. I have watched you with your sword and I can say that your swordmanship is remarkable. You are still young though and have many years in front of you to become that which you seek. Do not compare yourself to others though, just continue to strive to make yourself better and you will see that promise fulfilled. There are those amongst us that would be more than willing to help you along the way. But, remember promises can be sticky things. Sometimes there are unforseen circumstances that will cause a promise to go unfulfilled..." Ichijin says thinking of those promises he wasn't able to keep.
____________________________

Tora chuckled. "You missed my point. I wanted to badly. But, I knew it wouldn't make the pain go away. It wouldn't bring Dante-kun back. It just be the loss of someone else I cared about. Everyone deals with grief differently. He will be fine with time..." she says with a sigh and shakey smile. Her own grief returning.

Kiya sighs as she buries her face into Kihei chest. Saddened over her own decision to keep Dante a secret for the moment but she admits to herself. "She has grown so much..."

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe was sitting donw against a tree, wrapping some cloth around her ankle. Sighing, she keeps a hold on her fan as she looks down at her lap. Her eyes covered her face, which would show sadness if it was not covered. She brings her knees up and hugs them, keeping her fan close by, at a close range, so she could at least do some sort of uppercut. Her eyes closer and her loose bangs blow into the wind some. Her tatoo showed for once, the summoning one on her arm, which resembled Orochimaru's. She didn't bother to wrap it up for the most part, it wasn't a big deal at the moment...the important thing was the mission. Plus...she ran out of bandages....

[Caedus]

Kenshin sat there on the ground..staring at the kunai he was twirling around his finger. He seemingly focused on the kunai alone and ignored all else around him as he continued to rapidly twirl the kunai in his finger. His mind was lost in thought, his mind filled with questions. Soon he began to question why he thought about all of these questions..all thought, no action.

Gouzu and Meizu were returning back from the woods, pushing each other around and starting to joke about as they could be heard as they were returning. Kenshin didnt mind at all. Soon enough they would be back on the move..

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe stays still, as if lifeless. Her hair moved out of her closed eyes and they were black under the eyes a bit. Ashe coughs some, buy ignores it then continues to think. Her cousin, uncle aunt, family, as well as this mission. Her hair rests once again in front of her eyes, her bangs anyways. Ashe's body went still again and she twitches her finger some. Her mind wondered to Ichirou....then to Gondara.

[Addeh]

Hikaru chuckled and turned to Yahiko. "Who told you that?" He asked. "I'll have you know that I just recently won a battle against the Akatsuki member, Lotus." He added. "He was a pretty good opponent... But I held my own pretty well." He explained. His dog jumped back onto his shoulder. "So... Yahiko... Do not underestimate me. I may not have strength as far as Taijutsu goes... But I have strengths of my own."

[RyuAce]

Yahiko laughs at that.

"You didn't win. You survived, proof enough of your strength. BUt you act as if none here can match that." He grins slightly. "I fought my own Akatsuki member...Granted, I wasn't alone...but we managed to kill him. Can you say the same for Lotus?"

--

"I'm sure he will be...Still doesn't stop me from worrying..." Kihei holds Kiya a bit tighter, letting her bury her head in his chest as he speaks. "We knew it'd be hard on him..." He sighs slightly. "But still...Its just that he doesn't let anyone help him..."

[Kuno]

One of the many Hyuuga's strode purposefully through the camp. He had his hand resting lightly on the back of a boys a neck as he walked beside him. The wind blew slightly as headed in the direction of the people he wanted to see. "They shouldn't be that far..." he said quietly as he saw the small group up ahead.

"Commander!" He said sharply as he neared the group. "We have found one survivor amongst the ruins of the village." he states pushing the boy forward.

Kiya turns away as Tora asesses the boy standing in front of her. Tora looks him in the eyes. "Are you a shinobi?" she asks him. "What is your name and story..." she says as Kiya steps up next him. The girls both smile sweetly at him waiting for his answer.

OOC: There you go True...jump on in.

[Trueheartless]

OOC : Eh, I'm tired, it'll take me awhile to post at this time.

Imatsu looks towards the girls, only smiling slightly. His hair was brown and gray from the dirt and dust of the remains of his village. Scrapes scattered across his body and his clothes were old and ripped. He finally spoke, but with a soft voice.
"I am Imatsu Akamari," he paused, "I was training at the academy at my village, I was never officially granted the rank of Genin due to the village being destroyed, but ever since that day, I've been practicing and practicing on my jutsus."

[Kuno]

"Imatsu?" Tora says then grins at him her playful nature coming through. "Well, Welcome to the new Konoha!" She says gesturing to the tents and the building that are forming. "We don't have an academy right now but I am sure we can set you up with a sensei." she says giving him a smile.

Kiya chuckled a bit. "Excuse our commander she forgets herself sometimes. I am Kiya and this is Tora. These two..." she says gesturing to the two guys near them. She points to the red head first then the other. "Is Kurama-san and the Raikage..." she says with a slight smirk. "And...learning comes later. Why don't we get you a hot meal, a change of clothes, and a place to sleep. Then you can show us what you know and we can see who the best sensei would be. Sounds good I hope..." she says sweetly gesturing for him to follow the two girls.

Kiya looks at Kihei and Kurama. "We will see you guys in a bit. Once we get him settled." she says as they walk to the mess tent. "Do you have any questions or anything?" she asks Imatsu.

[Trueheartless]

Imatsu simply shook his head. He hasn't seen anyone in such a long time, he felt overjoyed but at the same time burdened. Imatsu starts to follow the two girls, trying to wipe off any dirt on his face. He didn't want the first people he sees in awhile to think he was a slob.
"Well, I might have a few questions." He stopped messing with his face. "This village, it looks recently built. How old is it? Was it built after what had happened to the Leaf Village?"
He tried to limit his curiosity for the time being.

[Kuno]

Tora laughs and grins at Imatsu. "This is the leaf village!" she says laughing stumbling a bit as Kiya smacked her in the back of the head. "OW! What was that for?" she said glaring at Kiya.

"Don't be a smart ass!" Kiya says glaring back at her then turns to Imatsu her smile returning. "We are rebuilding Konoha here. The former village will be left as a monument to those that have been lost." she says quietly. "We have just begun building and it will take a while for it to look like a true village but Konoha will once again grow and retain it's glory." she finishes as they get to the mess tent. "If you think you can go with out being a smart ass I will find him some clothes." she says walking off as Tora goes inside the tent once again hungry herself.

"The food is pretty good here..." Tora says grabbing a plate piling it high with food. "Don't be shy eat up!" she says then adds. "Don't worry about that drag..." she says about Kiya. "Do you have any more questions? I will answer anything I can..." Tora says with a chuckle as she continues to dish food on her plate.

[Addeh]

Hikaru chuckled and smiled at Yahiko. "Shut up..." He said in a completely cheerful, slightly playful tone. "So I didn't kill him... He never gave me the chance before I had to dodge the freaking crumbling monument. I had my last move all planned out." He said still smiling. "Whatever, this is irrelevant to the mission." He added. Hikaru summoned a kunai and twirled it in his finger out of boredom.

[Trueheartless]

Imatsu laughed a bit as he entered the tent. He looks over at the food, and grabs a plate himself. He takes only a few things, not trying to be too greedy. His stomach growled at him, he hadn't eaten in days. But he could live off of a few items, he didn't have much money anyway. "You and Kiya," he said looking over at Tora, "you seem pretty close. Are you related by any chance?"

[Kuno]

Tora chuckled before answering his question. "If your going to eat with me..." she says piling food onto his plate. "You are going to have to eat!" she adds giving him a grin. "Kiya and I...." she says getting a warm smile as she heads to a table now that both their plates were piled high. "We have been the best of friends...for as long as I can remember. We are from Yuki actually but we call Konoha home..." Tora says with a smile as she takes a huge bite. After she swallows she looks at him. "So...any more questions? Or do you want to tell me all about you?" she ask him taking another bite.

[Trueheartless]

"Best friends huh?" His voice was soft. "Hmmm...I've never really had any friends." He looked down at his food. "I was abandoned at a young age, and my previous guardians were...killed. So I've always felt alone. I never focused on getting friends either, because I was always so focused on my studies in the academy. Most people didn't even know my name, because the only time they saw me was in class. I never failed a test though..." He paused. "Nor have I failed a battle. And from that I developed a dream," his voice grew a bit stronger, "although it is a bit complicated. My dream is to never be defeated, no matter what comes at me, I want to be able to hit it, head on." He grabbed his chop sticks, and started to dig into his food. "Well, that's about it I suppose. What about you?"

[Kuno]

Tora listens to him thinking as he spoke. "Well...get use to having friends. We are very friendly around here." she said grinning and nods. "Your class record is impressive..." she says then opens her mouth to add something.

"Impressive? It is much better than yours was..." Kiya said with a laugh as she set some clothes down on the table then goes to get her own plate.

Tora sticks her tongue out at her then giggles. "She is right...I sucked as a student. Can't concentrate long enough..." she says with a grin. "Though back to you...You seem to have a good dream and are very determined about it. It is good to hear." she says taking a bite and thinking of what her dreams had once been.

Kiya comes back her plate not even half as full as theirs and sits down shaking her head at Tora. "We come from a Yuki. Our families are there but since we came her as kids we knew that this was the only place for us. We have trained here and those closest to us are here also. Not a whole lot to say. We have lost many that we care about and gained new ones. You will meet them all eventually, though some are out on mission right now. While they are gone it will give us time to think of a good sensei for you." she says taking a bite and thinking as Tora began to devour her food. "What are some of your skills?" Kiya asks Imatsu.

[Trueheartless]

"My skills? Oh umm, where should I start? I have a kekkei genkai that allows me to create steel from my hands and feet, and with that ability I base most of my jutsus off of." Imatsu lifts his hand and slowly reveals a small strip of metal out of his hand, below one of his fingers. "I usually create needles, so I obviously specialize in long-ranged combat."

[LunarCoast]

"I'm not that good, compared to the greater powers of swordsmenship."He replied and added, "None the less I cant use two sword styal's like my brother I can only use one sword styals and in ranged i'm hopeless, but I see your point with me having a long life still.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko shakes his head, almost mimicking the cheerfulness.

"So says the weakling. I don't care how strong you are, just don't act like you're better than everyone or they need protection."

--

Kihei followed Kiya, Tora, and Imatsu, not having anything else to do. He and Kurama listened to everything, but stayed quiet. Kurama went off to grab something to eat while Kihei didn't bother, staying with Imatsu and Kiya.

"Hm..." He looked at the strip of metal for a moment and shrugged.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Six... Seven... Eight... And two by the water, that's ten. Should we go for it now? "



"Hold on. There's still someone else. Right feet behind us. Maybe she also intends on these people. Beware. Both sides must be got rid of."



". . . . . . . ."



"Look... I know this IS important to you, but we can't just rush. There can always be danger from these people that can well blow us up."



"What the heck are you talking about?!? You know we can't be detected no matter what kind of sensing they got. We can't even be heard! I can't wait! Gotta blow them up and get back quickly! You know I have no choice!!!"


"Behave. That short temper can disrupt your chakra flow, and you know what can happen when we're detected... No... No... Wait!!!"


"Enough of your lectures!!!"


Suddenly all the bushes around the ten Leaf shinobies shook violently, making an unpleasant noise of leaves abrashing each other. Some well-hidden ropes tied around some of the trees were swiftly but mysteriously cut off, followed by a series of boulders hurled from nowhere aiming at the group.

Numerous senbons from somewhere in the bushes at the same time were launched at the group, unless they maintained a high sense of cautiousness, that amount and speed would easily catch them off guard.

[LunarCoast]

"Eh?"The female ninja said and thought, maybe I wont have to deal with the Ninja after all...

Ryu looked up and said, "Seems like a trap." He thought to himself I guess Ichijin was right about us being attacked by another village He quickly gripped his Katana's hilt and rolled to the left.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko's eyes widen slightly. He makes a hand seal and slams his hands into the ground.

"Chakra Asaito!" Thread of chakra shoot out of the ground, slamming through the senbon to force them away. He grins a little and then moves out of the way of the boulders.

[Kuno]

The girls looked at the metal strip that Imatsu produced and listened to an explination of his abilities as they continued to eat. "Hhmm..." Kiya thinks for a moment thinking who would be the best choice for a sensei. "Your abilities are interesting..." she says finishing her food.

"There are several choices for sensei." Tora says between bites. "We will find someone that is good with your weaknesses so you can develop those points better. Actually I think we may use more than one..." she says thinking. "Be right back..." she says with a grin getting another plate.

Kiya turns to Kihei for a moment. "Why aren't you eating?" she says with a frown. "This isn't the first time you skipped..." Kiya adds become a little worried.
___________________________________

Ichijin jumps to his feet as he sees the bushes move he. He quickly dodges out of the way of the many projectiles flying toward them. "Not what I expected..." he muttered as he activates his byakugan. The only signature he sees is the faint one from the person following them before. "What is going on?" he says deflecting more needles.

Tereya quickly pulled her sword deflecting the needles with it's silvery length. Grateful now for the many hours of training with the girls. She lets a light yelp as one goes into her leg but she keeps her feet as he sword flashes in the light. Tereya rolls dodging a boulder though it lightly grazed her shoulder making her spin to the side. She keeps her feet determined not to fall. Determined to prove her worth.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Damn!"

"Stop right there! Don't you dare move a muscle!!!"

The second person was quite pissed with what his partner just did. Their entrance trap was just laid wasted, those shinobies proved more for the it to handle. Now that everyone had regained their wariness, there would be no way for the two to effectively continue attacking them.

"Look what you have just done! Now even the other shinobi will also be wary of us!"

The first person stayed silent, yet gritted his teeth. His supposed invisibility was somehow disrupted by over emotion, showing a faint finger before reverting to nothing. This pattern wouldn't be likely to be spotted, since they were still up high in the trees.

"Control your eagerness. We have to wait till next time. If we remain here... Things may get fatal for both of us with these... emotions of yours."

The leaves slightly moved, after that there was silence...

[RyuAce]

Kihei shrugs, turning to Kiya with a reassuring smile.

"Just not hungry...I'm fine, really..." Kurama walked up next to Kihei, about to speak, but decides against it, staying quiet as he sits down next to him.

--

Yahiko drew his katana as the senbon were deflected and began dodging boulders, destroying them with chakra enhanced blows when he couldn't simply dodge.

Then his head snapped up in the direction of the two. He grinned slightly and jumped up towards them, using another tree branch as leverage to propel himself forward towards the two. The brief moment one of the two lost concentration, he was able to sense them. He couldn't sense them now, but he knew their general position.

--

Touya sighed slightly, still sitting on the edge of the lake. He watched as it began to frost slightly from his presence, still thinking over everything that happened. The fight with Nagaki and Nagako, Jin's sacrifice, Kihei and Kurama trying to get him to talk about it. He glared at the sky, lying back, but staying silent.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu made shadow clones to use them as a shield from the needles and muttered, "Indeed... a trap shouldn't of been laid here t stop us, I dout that they knew we was coming but maybe they did. Ichijin I presume you found someone by now with your Byakugan?"

[Caedus]

Kenshin, Gouzu and Meizu activated their Sharingans and stood poised. Kenshin gritted his teeth yet oddly enough, Gouzu and Meizu had a odd smirk on themselves. "Looks like we got ourselves a little party" Gouzu said, one of his hands near his shuriken hoister.

"Oi" Meiuzu replied himself as Meizu kept both of his hands behind his back, ready to pull a scroll full of weapons in preperation for the possible engagement. It seemed now it was a good idea that all ten of them went along.

"We better keep moving, staying here out in the open where our enemy knows our exact poistion leaves us in trouble" Kenshin stated as he looked through the trees with his Sharingan. There was nothing but silence..

[Addeh]

Hikaru sighed and flipped handseals. A large shard of diamond rose from the ground and shattered in the air into a hundred small needle-like shards. They floated around Hikaru while he waited for an opening to attack. "Yahiko... He is in the way of my attack..." He mumbled. He looked at the tree with Karagan. He could see heat from the bodies.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe had brought out her fan and used a strong wind to counter the senbons. A rock that went her way, it was nearly too late but she jumped out of the way quickly, panting some. She could have used Strong arm, but she didn't want to waste chakra at the moment. Her fan held tight she looks around, then holds it with both hands. Ashe closes her eyes and in a second, after she opened them, they turned Sharingan. Her postion was in a battle stance, highly alert now. some blood ran down her cheek.

[Trueheartless]

Imatsu quietly retracted the metal and started picking at his food again. He ate small bites and chewed slowly, the food has good, it was just that something was preventing him from eating. He looked up again, a sensei...I wonder what it'll be like. He noticed two other people had sat down at the same table, he said nothing, still trying to keep curiosity to a minimum.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Jasik was deflecting the projectiles with his scythe, but then accidentally dropped it. "Shit!" he yelled. He turned around, and crossed his arms around his chest to block some needles. He braced himself, and as the needles were about to hit him, his arms turned into swords. The needles were deflected, and he turned around and looked at his arms. "Yuriko, what have you done?" he asked himself.

Jasik concentrated on his arms, and turned them into an odd shaped sharp object this time, square at the end but sharp on the sides, something you can't call a sword. He did a flip to dodge some of the sharp objects, and when he landed on his hands, or where his hands usually are, he exted the length of his arms and was launched into the air. He landed next to Ichijin.

"Can you see anything?" he asked.

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

Yuriko was heading to a lake she liked to go to after she came back, but saw Touya sitting where she usually sat. Yuriko used the underworld travel technique she absorbed when she touched Jasik's eye, and appeared next to Touya sitting.

"Hi, my names Yuriko, whats your name?" she asked him, smiling. She wasn't trying to be friendly at all, she was just trying to get info out of him about the people Jasik met after the little war in Konoha.

[RyuAce]

Touya raised an eyebrow to her, keeping his emotionless mask in place. The area around Yuriko was chilled by Touya's presence because of his bloodline...but seemed to drop further when he noticed her.

"Touya...What do you want?" he asks coldly. After what happened and what he still needed to think about, he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko goes back into her serious and angry mood. She stands up, and activates her Allingan eye, once again looking it's demonic look. "Alright, with the shitty mood your in, this will never work. Tell me everything you know about the camp Jasik Oyama is staying in. If you value your life, you will tell me." she says, giving him a deathly stare.

[RyuAce]

Touya laughs darkly at that, glancing at her, but turning his attention on back to the lake. He didn't think her a threat at all...

"You think that's a threat to me? My life is worthless as it is...Death would be welcomed..." He looks back at her with an icy glare. "But...what do you want with the camp?"

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko's face became very pale, and even more demonic looking. Her hair started to rise and blow with the wind, as if they were gigantic brown feathers attached to her head, just going with the wind, flying freely. "I-WANT-POWER." she said in a scratchy voice. She started to reach for him to grab him.

[RyuAce]

Ice shoots up from the water, wrapping around her wrist and stopping her. Touya gets to his feet easily, standing on the water's surface with chakra.

"Very unwise to attack me right now..." The air around Touya begins frosting as he holds his hand out and the ice sword forms. But its much colder than it usually is when he fights, small ice shards forming in the air around the blade.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko gets tangled by the wrists by the ice, but shatters the ice by twisting her wrists. She sees the blade being formed in the air and the shards Touya was making. She pulls her gloves off, seeing that the boy has some fight in him. "By the way, nice to meet you Touya." she says with an evil smile.

She begins to feel the air getting colder around her from the ice. "Cold doesn't do anything. I lived seven years of my life in a cocoon made of chakra underwater, and you think that cold ice will do something?" she says. She remains standing in her position, waiting for Touya to hurl the ice at her.

[RyuAce]

"You know nothing of these abilities..." Touya smirks. "This cold air...it isn't a technique...The cold air is caused by my presence..." He brings his blade up, grabbing hold of the flat end of his ice blade. He then shatters into ice, the shards of ice falling into the water.

"You have picked the worst time to attack me," Touya continues from behind Yuriko, slashing down to cleave her in half with one swing.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko side-steps the attack, but gets cut on the cheak, how is knknown since it was a chop. She wipes some of the blood off with her finger, putting it in her mouth and tasting it. "Ahhhh, the taste of my own blood always send me into a rush." she said. Then, she ran at Touya, charging her fist to punch him in the stomach. She finally starts to throw her fist at him.

[RyuAce]

Touya brings his blade up, blocking with the flat side of it. It starts to crack and Touya jumps back, holding his blade ready. He grins a bit as he holds his hand up. Ice shards begin to appear over his palm.

"Aisuchiri Arashi(Ice Shard Storm)!" He bloews a cold wind at the shards over his palm and they shoot towards Yuriko quickly.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Two of the ice shards stab Yuriko in the thigh, and she screams from the pain. She pulls them out, the pain was even worse since they were cold. She unsheathes her sword. The sword is black, and has black smoke coming of it. It also has an eery glow to it. She starts to run towards Touya, the other ice shards being deflected by her sword.

"No. Its always the wrong time to fight with me." she says while she runs.

[RyuAce]

Touya sighs in annoyance, jumping to a tree branch and forming a hand seal. He places a hand to the tree. The tree freezes over and Touya metls into it. As Yuriko closes in, he jumps from the tree to the water with a quick movement, shooting past Yuriko too quickly for her to follow from the force of shooting out of the tree.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko grabbed Touya's leg and threw him back at a different tree. She watched as he was hurtling towards the tree, as time seemed to slow for her, as if he was flying towards the tree, but he wasn't ever going to hit it. She was always good at throwing things. No matter what it was, she would always be able to throw it.

[RyuAce]

Even as he's thrown, he smirks.

"Aisuchiri Arashi..." He goes flying, placing his hands on the ground and skidding to a stop, going into a crouch. But as this happens, ice shards like the ones he would shoot at her slash through her from behind. He gets up quickly, forming more into his hand and blowing them at Yuriko, attacking her from both sides with the same jutsu.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Aaah!" she yells as they slash her arms and legs. She gets back up, and uses the underworld travel and appears about 5 feet in front of Touya. She runs at him, jumps, then kicks him across the stomach, she tries to kick him in a place she can touch skin-to-skin, and does. She waits for a result if she gets one.

[RyuAce]

It doesn't hit his skin. Touya's shirt covers whatever skin would have been hit by the kick, but it does make him go back from the force. He holds his hands up and the ice blades form on both hands.

"Fine...Screw information, I just want you to die!" Touya charged at Yuriko, trying to slash at her with both swords. He began losing himself in his rage...Already angry with himself over Jin, he didn't care what happened now. He just wanted to vent his anger out on something...Yuriko just happened to be the first one giving him that chance.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko observed Touya as he was running towards her. She could see the hate in his eyes. She decided to put death into her eyes, and her eyes turned all black, even the whites of her eyes. She pulled her javelin out, and elongated the spikes in it. The javelin was red, stained with the blood of the innocents she tried to absorb power from, and about two feet across and two feet long. She started to run towards Touya to, but jumped when she got near him. She landed behind him, and started to swing her javelin at him towards his head.

[RyuAce]

Touya let a spike made of ice rise up, blocking the javalin. He turns around quickly, slashing at her with his blade. Hate was still clear in his eyes, but then confusion as his ice broke apart before he could slice at Yuriko's head. His eyes widen as his ice broke apart, his other sword breaking apart as well.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko took advantage of Touya's confusion, and kicked upwards at his chin, when she hit, it was not to fatal, not enough to knock him out, but it was hard. She wondered why his blades just shattered out of no wear. "It must be some sort of Kekkei Genkai, and he probably doesn't have full control of it. Sorry kid, but it took me seven years in a cocoon made of chakra to fully master mine." she thought to herself.

[RyuAce]

Touya took the blow, going into the air, but quickly snapped out of it. He twisted his body, making him face the ground and held his hands out. More ice shards appeared. He blew and they flew towards the ground. But as they got close, he continued...

"Bakuha." THe ice shards exploded, even if dodged. As soon as they came in contact with something solid, they exploded in a strange mixture...like a burning sensation, but at the same time, freezing cold.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Shit!" Yuriko screamed as the shards got closer. She hid behind a tree, in awe at how the explosion set the tree on fire. Before the tree was hit by the shard though, she jumped away to avoid all the shards. She went back into the battle field when they cleared, and hit a tree with her javelin to send giant chucks of it flying at Touya.

[RyuAce]

Touya raises his hand, letting ice shards appear...but then they shatter into dust. His eyes widen and he's hit by the trees, being sent crashing back. He skids across the ground and then stops, staying motionless. He lays there for a few moments, panting slightly from the blows he took, trying to figure out what was wrong with his bloodline...

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko started to walk towards Touya. She didn't care if he was faking or not, she was just gonna grab him skin-to-skin. She finally arrived, and lifted him up by the arms. She wondered why it was working. Then, she realized how cold and hard his skin was, and realized it was ice armor.

"Nice bloodline. Since I can't absorb the information, I'll just nicely ask you. Where the fuck is the camp Jasik is staying in?" she yelled at him.

[RyuAce]

Touya simply smirks. He didn't care what happened to him...Death was welcomed now...

"I would never...betray my taichou...and team...to a bitch...like you..." he manages to get up, glaring at her. He then returns to his smirk, spitting in her face to anger her more.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Listen, I'll let you live, if you just tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll break your little ice armor, then absorb all thats left of your miserable life. Even worse, put you in a coma. I'll make you a vegetable for all I care, you can just rot on the wheel chair that you will have to sit in for your life, and you will not know a thing thats happening." she said, with an evil smirk on her face.

[RyuAce]

"Think that...matters to me?" Touya moves close to her face, his voice going lower from his current state. "I've already lost everything...Anything you do to me is meaningless...Whatever you do...is nothing compared...to what I've already done to myself..." He grabs the top of her kimono, sounding almost insane at this point. "Go ahead and kill me! You'd be doing me a favor!"

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Aaahhh, but I enjoy your pain. I can't deside whether to kill you, or just let you live........ I guess I'll kill you." she said. Then, she threw him to the ground, pulled out her javelin, and started to swing at his head while he was on the ground. She was plainning to crush his head, not caring if she got brains all over her.

[RyuAce]

Touya grins as the javelin comes at his head...but then a voice shouts out through the clearing.

"Shriek, Banshee!" A screech is heard through the clearing, a ghostly figure blocking the weapon from contacting with Touya. Suzaku stands at the edge of the clearing, leaning against a tree with hsi swrod drawn. He looks weak, but he was able to use a jutsu like this... "You won't be harming my teammate..." He grins slightly as Touya looks back in shock.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Then, she turns to Suzaku. "So your the team mate he cares so much about? Hmph, if you and the person hes so depressed about were never born, I could have killed him already." she says, then she laughs and turns back to Touya and takes another swing at his head. She was hoping Suzaku would come and grab her arm.

[RyuAce]

Suzaku smirks. Another spirit blocks.

"Yes...but it turns out we were born...Now, why don't you tell me why you're attacking my teammate? Before I let my true power out..." Suzaku holds his sword ready. He was weakened, but he could go at least to the Second Hell Gate if he had to fight her...

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko laughs, then uses underworld travel to appear behind Suzaku. "For power." she says, then she swings the javelin at him. She just needed to make him grab her skin-to-skin so she could get some info. Thats all she wanted. Just to get a little info. She smiled as she swung the javelin at Suzaku's head.

[RyuAce]

Before it can connect, a hand wraps around her waist and she's taken off her feet. Touya appears next to Suzaku, grabbing Yuriko and jumping in a way to drag her with him and bring her to the ground. He grabs her wrists, keeping her pinned to the ground.

"You keep talking about wanting to know its position for power...How can that give you power?"

[Kuno]

Ichijin looks at Ryu and then Jasik and shakes his head. "No." he states plainly still not saying much about the one following yet. "This wasn't them...but who was it..." he thinks scanning the area around them then nods to Kenshin. "Hai...Let's get moving..." He says to the group and begins to run in the direction of the malformed land they were sent to check out.

Tereya nods and follows.
____________________________________________

Kiya looked at the two then at Imatsu. "So who do you think would be a good sensei for our friend here?" she asks them then thinks. "Maybe one of you can take him to the bath house and spar later..." Kiya says with a smile as Tora sits down.

"Good idea!" Tora says taking a huge mouthful.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe puts her weapon up then looks to the other three Uchiha's then starts to follow after Kiya. Her footsteps were a bit more uneven than last time, but it didn't seem serious yet.
Ashe grins some then smiles . It felt good to once again be on a mission. The wind rushed her hair as she kept up with the others. She got even more excited as they got closer. Her excited faded when she remembered that it was going to be just land...hopefully there would be action, without any casualties.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Because, my brother lives in that camp. He's lost me once, he won't lose me again. He'll do anything for me. He doesn't even fight me. If I get him, or make him tell me who the strongest in the camp is, I can just absorb them. The only one I wouldn't absorb is Kihei. You are probably wondering how I know that. Its because I was watching during that war in the village. I was watching when it was destroyed. Hell, that guy could kill me any time." she said, then laughed.

"So go on, bring me to the jail in your little camp. I really don't care." she says.

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

Jasik looked at Ichijin oddly. Ichijin was so odd, he didn't talk much. He wondered what made him like this. He looked up, and saw a bird flying straight towards him, beak ready for attack. First, Jasik wondered why it was trying to attack him, then, he concentrated on his fingers, and they all turned into very sharp knives. He stabbed the bird, and threw it behind him.

[RyuAce]

Kihei shrugs.

"Sure...We could..." He thinks for a few moments. "One of my ANBU could probably train you if you wanted..." He looked at Imatsu as he said it.

--

Touya shakes his head.

"So he'd tell you who the strongest was...doing anything for you..." He forces her to her feet, ice freezing over her wrists and hands so she was stuck there. "Then we'll definately not take you there...But what makes you worth keeping alive? You seem more trouble alive than if we simply killed you here..."

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Darkness covered the entire space, as only some shattered pieces of light emanated from the sparkling candles dispersed along some space in the dark that resembled a large hallway.

Those feeble lights at the dead end of the hallway illuminated a stone wall with bloodred glowing runes sculptured on the surface.

Two coated and fully hooded figures met the light and showed their presence, before one of them placed a hand on the runes and mumbled something inaudible...

As he put his hand off, the two patiently waited for minutes, before the glowing bloodred of the runes started to fade and disappear, and the stone wall slowly and heavily slided to a side, revealing another hallway hidden beside this secret door, yet fully lightened with full of weird but indeed intriguing decorations and wooden furniture with uncanny symbols scrulptured on the surfaces along the way.

The two hooded figure kept their heads down and they gradually followed the zig-zag curves and turns of the confusing route, passing several staircases, and finally arriving at a door with golden alloyment and undecipherable multicolor decorations.

"You're almost guilty now. I'm not sure if there's any way to save you from his wrath." One of the two said as the heavy armored guards started to open the huge gate, strong dazzling light was released from behind the gate as it was open, so bright that the two hooded figures had to cover their eyes with their sleeves.

The other of the two still kept his head down, it could easily tell that according to the movement of the green sleeves, his arms were shaking, but it was unlikely to be clear that whether he was doing that out of extreme fear, or if that could be something else...

The gate was fully opened, revealing a sumptuous scene of luxury filled with golden furniture inside. There was an enormous dome, with a red carpet varnished with ruby spreaded all the way from the gate to the other side of the room, which lay a golden throne, surrounded by a layer of diaphanous curtain, hiding an apparently majestic figure on the throne. On both sides of the front of the curtain, two heavily and luxuriously armored figures stood still with their faces unseen by the two hooded persons from afar. The one in the left had red hair, suited in a large sumptious silver armor with a white platinum scape that was somewhat overly ostentatious. The other, to the right, despite being less showy with less decorations on his shiny plain black armor fitting his body figure, demonstrated a more deadly air with his neat and seemingly efficient outfit... Both emanated auras that kept the two hooded figures bow all the way as they approached.

The hooded figure finally knelt, still keeping their heads down.

"My deepest apology. We have failed to hold the intruders back with our mean of entrance defense." One of them said, keeping his head down.

The other one still shook heavily with his fists closed tight on the floor, keeping himself silent.

"They have proved too much for only two of us to handle." The first one said. "And the information proved to be true, they are from Konohagakure."

There was silence after that, as the majestic figure sitting on the throne behind the curtain had yet to make any word.

"Konoha..." The silver-armored lieutenant snickered, breaking the silence. "After all just a bunch of brats." He shook his head and smirked. "Well, you!" He pointed to the shaking hooded figure. "I have trusted you two to ace this... mission. Konoha shinobi was never such a prob to us." He kept his smirk with a condescending tone... "So far to this point... Do you still want to see your family alive? I guess you already abandonned what's left of your love to them..."

The hooded figure gritted his teeth, still shaking hard. "Give me one more chance." He almost grunted with his barely audible voice, overwhelmed with anger.

The other hooded one flinched and turned to the shaking one. His fists were almost ready to slam into the ground with such anger.

"Give me one more chance...I will not let them get away."

The silver lieutenant smirked. "I'm afraid that's too..."

"Bow. And treasure this bestow. One chance. Succeed... Or forever suffer in the hell of grief." A dark and bold voice emanated from behind the curtain, immediately forcing the lieutenant to shut up.

The shaking hooded one bowed deep to the curtain. "Please, His Majesty, please have faith in me... I won't fail this..."

The silver lieutenant turned with somewhat of a resentment to the other lieutenant in the black suit, who was apparently smirking over the silver's embarassment. Wanna stay cool huh?

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Actually, nothing. I have killed many innocents, for power, put many people in comes and vegetative states, so yeah, the only reason you shouldn't kill me is because, I can help Konoha be rebuilt." she said, then smirked.

"Besides, you can just put me in a cage, like the beast I am. My brother knows how to make a cage that can hold me, you can get him to make it." she said, with another smirk.

[A Common Hero]

The man in the night black armor laughs. Then adresses the silver lieutenant.

"Such words as yours come from weaklings who wish not to fight. Your are angry that they have bestown upon you this chance? That makes you a fool."

He laughs in his way, sounding more like a jester at court than someone who has killed many a man, just to see their blood on his claws.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Your gonna regret what you had just said, later..." The stare from the silver-armored twitched, viciously glaring at the other one.

The two hooded figures turned up to look at the imminent clash that would easily happen in no time. They slowly stood up and, again, with their heads down, backed away to the gate and disappeared.

"Or sooner." The silver-armored clutched one of his fist, and opened his fingers to reveal a violently raging white chakra flame above his palm.


"I have seen enough." The dark bold voice behind the curtain started again, once more forcing the lieutenant to halt.

He glared at the other one for seconds before reluctantly turning to the curtain and bowed. "My apology to this... insolence..." He finished his sentence with a resenting glance sent to the one in black suit.

"Now... Those two have rendered me suspicion. I shall need one of you out from here, to keep an eye on what ill fate may bring to those unworthy assassins."

The lieutenant bowed. "I shall not let down your expectation, His..."

"You shall stay. And he... shall be going." The dark voice cut off his sentences again...

[A Common Hero]

"I get to kill people?" he asks. "Cool."

He turns to the man wearing silver.

"See, this is why I told you, you need to enjoy these things more! There's just so much fun to be had from the failure of other's!"

He looks around to the side, and shows a typical moment of his own unique brand of stupidity.

"...So... where are they? In the toilet? I don't think i can fight toilet fish, they'd probably eat more than just my hands this time..."

[Captain Obvious]

Tsuya scanned the area around the group as the boulders stopped swinging and the senbon had all fallen harmlessly to the ground. She watched the big Hyuuga waiting for him or the Uchiha get things moving. She nods as the order to move out and begins to run. Tsuya stays near Tereya knowing that for some reason Inka had become very protective of the girl. She didn’t know why though, to her the girl just seemed worthless and had no point on the mission if they were going to be attacked. Tsuya just sighed as she sheathed her swords as they moved.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu nodded and followed Ichijin not even asking why since it was plainly obverious and he said clearly, "You 100% sure you didn't see someone? If so what are you saying that it was placed quite some time ago and we triggered it some how?"

[Caedus]

Kenshin, Gouzu and Meizu continued to move quickly as they headed towards the direction of the new land. Enemy shinobi were most likely in the area and their location most likely was being attempted to be tracked. They would come back..they always came back. They were silent and skilled but as for the rest of their abilities..he wasnt sure. Kenshin kept his thoughts to himself as he glared his eyes forward. Gouzu and Meizu were silently talking amoungst themselves, obviously relaxed but they had good reason too. They were Jounin after all..

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe slows down, due to the fact she wanted to be with the other Uchiha. She was neck and neck with Kenshin now, following his movements so she could keep up. Her bound hair flew behind her, her bangs whipped around some, but still managed to stay neat. She grins some then smiles to Kenshin. The smile soon faded and returned to passive, a sad frown was being hidden under that look.

[Kuno]

Ichijin looked at Jasik coldly. "It was attacking because you stepped near it's nest." He stated to him. "Next time don't kill around me unless it is an enemy or it is food." he says turning forward again.

After a few moments he heres Ryu's question. He sighs before he answers. "We are being followed but I doubt it is by the same people that just attacked us. I don't think they just created that trap but then again, how could none of us have seen it." he said thinking about what just happened.

He nods then drops back to Kenshin pulling the map out of it's place and hands it to him. "We are being followed. Stay on your guard. I do believe they are from to seperate groups though." He says shortly heading back to the front of the group.

Tereya follows quietly not uttering a word.
______________________________________

"We will have to think on it..." Kiya says then looks at Imatsu. "At least to the bath house. We will see how he is feeling after that. Sparing can wait for a day or two..." she says with a smile.

[Caedus]

Kenshin nodded in thanks as he clutched the map, the young Uchiha was also sure to take note of the fact they were being followed. As they continued to move, he looked at the map..quickly eyeing as many details as he could as Gouzu was on his left, Meizu on his right. They peered over Kenshin's shoulder, much to the odd apperance as they too continued to look at the map.

"Oi, were being followed, now this mission is getting exciting" Meizu grinned, seemingly always happy. Kenshin couldnt tell if this Jounin was acting serious.

All of this moving and this odd tension oddly remained him of his brother and the organization he was in. What happened to the organization, surely there was other shinobi alive..what they were doing and planning bothered at him. What if they attacked the camp while they were on this mission..

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe looks at the map she had given Kenshin. 'Followed?? I see...' she thinks then continues, not making any movement to show it. She had sensed something, but was unsure about it. Ashe looks back to Kenshin, studying his face. Something did seem out of the ordanary. Being sent out on a misssion? At this time??

[LunarCoast]

"Well we wasn't expecting a trap or any combat to occur at all so maybes thats why we got caught off guard by it? But if someone's following us cant we assume that they are an enermy or someone is curious in are activitys in this region?"Ryu asked he had a vice-like grip on the hilt of the Katana, he'd rafer the person following them not be an hostile but it was a possiblity that they where an oppent.

Damn who ever placed that trap, no dout about it they seem more on edge now and higher guard. If I have been detected then things might turn out me fighting muliple Leaf Ninja. Marxon couldn't handle this by himself? She sighed and hit the ground skidding to a halt and said, "Maybe I'll have more chance if most of the group are distracted by something else." She made hand seals not perticularly fast then finished and hit the ground, "Summoning Jutsu." She summoned two lower fiends. "One rule you two... Dont harm Ryu unless he becomes to muc of a problem I surpose you could harm him just make sure he doesn't die."
"Gah, whats so important about the kid anyway." One asked having a deamonic voice, infact both did.
"Yeah why are we even after this kid?" The other asked.
"Just shut up and attack the group, split them up if you can."The female said knowing these fiends wouldn't win aginste the group anyway, they had bat-like wings and one hand being a bloody scyth.

Stopping Ryu looked a the group and said, "You guys senced tha just now right?" Taking note of a suddern ammount of chakra.

[Caedus]

Kenshin narrowed his eyes. "Seems like we in the wrong place at the wrong time or this is just a ploy.." Kenshin narrowed his eyes. Gouzu and Meizu looked at the young Uchiha as they continued to move. An ambush had to be set up..something had to be done.

"Alright..were making ourselves one giant target..we have some options" Kenshin stated, as he still kept his eyes forward. "We can of course..stop, set up a ambush and prepare ourselves for whoever is following. Our other option of course..spreading out and head to the destination on our own seperate routes..hopefully by then we could lose them The way were traveling is making us pretty big and obvious targets and with multiple enemies targeting us and no knolwedge of us..things are heavily turning against us" Kenshin added.

Gouzu and Meizu looked at the others, curious on what the others would say.

[Kuno]

Ichijin nods to Kenshin as he carefully considers the options. "I think the best bet would be to split the force into three." He says after careful deliberation. "Kenshin you take the other Uchiha on ahead." Ichijin says to the main Uchiha not so much as an order, as he respects the Uchiha greatly. "Ryu, Jasik, and Hikaru. I assume I can trust the three of you to deal with what is behind us." he says nodding to the three. "Tsuya, Tereya, and Yahiko will go with me. We will swing around and meet you there." Ichijin states to the others." The turns back to the three heading for the rear. "When you are finished just head straight and you will be fine." He turns to Kenshin once more. "Does that sound like a resonable effort to you?" he asks giving him the up most respect.

[Caedus]

"If it works for them..it works for me" Kenshin replied as he eyed the other shinobi who hadnt voiced their opnions yet. Should they spread out..it would be easier to avoid being completely surrounded which was something he wanted to avoid. Whatever was chasing them had to be dealt with while at the same time..they had to be wary of poistion and where the others are. If more enemies were up ahead..it wouldnt seem much of a problem..unless of course they were seriously dealing with true threats. Gouzu and Meizu still remained calm and did not seem to be bothered but they had good reason too..hopefully but they did nto mind what would happen as long as they got things done. All that mattered was how the others would respond..

[LunarCoast]

"Thats fine with me..."Ryu replied cheerfuly, That Chakra seem pritty strong, it might take a few of us to take out whoever is their or whoever it is has just used alot of chakra at once on some kind of summoning or clone jutsu but none the less it might be a challenge.

"Eh... They took the bait."She muttered and said, "You two attack a diffrent group each I have yet to kill that Byukagan user." They both nodded and flew away. She ulled out an explosive tag and thought, A direct hit from one of these should kill him but what I know of the Byukagan Clan they can detect movement around them for 360 degrees. Ranged attacks wont work and their excelt in close combat so the best option would be t find a way past his defenses or over power him some how... Both seem unlikly but it's onl ways I could beat him.

Note: Just so you know she uses Water and Wind Chakra's but cant use ice.

"Sending her to attack such a large group are you sure that was a good idea? She isn;t the type to be able to fight multiple oppents..."
"She's a excelent assasian, number of oppents doesn't matter in general to her true it will cause her trouble but she can handle it."
"Why not just send me they wouldn't of lasted 10 seconds."
"Fool... The Leaf village has some of the strongest Ninja and someone is protecting Ryu..."
"Protecting sir?"
"Ryu caught the attention of alot of strong ninja one of which is actully protecting him from me and untill I know who it is I wont send you or anyone else who has sworn loylty to the Greater Fiends."
"Pfft... Your just saying that, Marxon. By my standard your a coward never fighting your own battles and sending others who are obveriously to weak for the job."
Marxon looked at him and said, "Kill me then."
"My pleasure."The man in a hooded cloak said he lunged a Kunia (sp?) at Marxon's chest it hit and Marxon muttered, "I thought you was going to kill me..."
"What?!"
"Never send assasians to kill me when they cant even understand my power here..."Marxon lunged his Kattan through the assasians chest and said, "I always knew you was sent to kill me but I never thought you'd be this stupid... Especially using a shadow clone..."

Damn how did he survive that and he saw right through the clone Master Rain will be displeased, how can we prevent this guy from reincarnating a Achient Fiend if he can survive a direct hit to the heart. The assasian quickly made a hand seal and teleported to an man stoud by a tree he wore an fore head protector around his left arm and held a book in the right, he seem like a pritty avarage Ninja at first sigt but also had a blueish arua around him caused by a large disc shaped stone held in his left.
"Master Rain..."
"One second... I'm almost finished my book."The Ninja said
"But master, is a ytime like this to be reading a book, Marxon's becoming more of a threat, I failed at asasinating him and all you can do is read a da*n book?!"
"Those who are to agreesive always will lose a war, you should relax as long as Ryu is under my protection Marxon or his underlings will not be able to touch him."
"Yes master... You're right as always. I should control my actions more... sorry."
"What? Nah you're fine I trust you gather information on what he's trying to do while you was in his base?"
"Yes master, he wants to reincarnate a long forgotten Fiend, seems like it could infact be what he said it would be."
"End are world and bring about a new one?"
"No... wait yes... How did you know?"
"Marxon's more foolish then I thought, if he thinks that thing would share power with him he's greavly mistake it'd kill him along with evrything else."
"Master?"
"Oh sorry... I said that out loud didn't I?"
The ninja nodded.

[RyuAce]

Kihei nods slightly.

"Yeah..." He leans back in his seat, glancing from Kiya to Imatsu. He sensed Touya using his chakra near the lake where they left him...but he figured he was just getting out stress.

--

Yahiko nods quickly with a grin.

"Sure thing!" He had been told by Kihei before the mission to follow the more experienced shinobis' orders while he was on this mission. He would be sure to do just that, not caring what his job was as long as he could be helpful in some way.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe nods and agrees with them silently, now voicing her opinion. Her eyes turn to Kenshin and she thinks 'He's grown stronger and a better leader since Sasuke, as well as my uncle...'. Ashe puts on a smile, but after she realized she was smiling she retreats the smile, then turns away, awaiting the forwarding order. Pretty soon they would be split up... and have different teams chasing them. Ashe lays a hand on her fan and looks to Kenshin, waiting for them to split up now, while listening to their conversation.

[Trueheartless]

Imatsu looks at Kiya and Kihei. I hate to think about it, but it has been awhile since the last time I had bathed."Thank you guys, I really appreciate all the help you have been giving me; taking me into the village, getting me food and clothes. It's been awhile since I have ever even seen a person. I'm just glad that the first people I see in a long while are nice." Imatsu smiled.

[Kuno]

Ichijin listens to everyone falling into agreement and nods. "Right...we will meet there as soon as we can. Everyone stay on your guard and be careful. I don't want to lose anyone on something that is suppose to be an easy straightforward mission." He says looking from person to person then back again. "Alright, let's move out!" he adds spinning around and running in a different direction just assuming that his group is following.

Tereya's eyes get big as she bites her lip nervously. She looks at the large group and wonders if splitting up is really a good idea. "Wouldn't staying together be better. We can fight everything much easier...." she thinks to herself then shakes her head. "Wh-whate-ever y-you s-say..." Tereya mumbles as she follows on Ichijin's heals. Her stuttering earns a glare from the big Hyuuga.
____________________________________

Kiya smiles sweetly at the boy. "Isn't that what Konoha is known for? The friendly giving people and shinobi of it's land?" she says with a chuckle. "And, besides, the ones that are helping you at the moment will be Kumo nins." Kiya adds with a smile. "How many can say they sparred with the Raikage and his personal guards..." she says smirking at Kihei then smiling at the boy. "As soon as you are done one of them will show you were everything is....I suppose for the moment you can stay with Tora in her tent. Since Tereya is gone..." Kiya says thinking for a moment and nods. "That would be the best place for you right now..." she says with a warm smile.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"They're splitting. Get prepared. Those Uchiha are heading toward our base." One hooded figure up high on a tree branch looked down and turned to the other, who was on his knee right beside the first one.

"Uchiha... Hm... Four of them, all looking capable. This will be tough." The second one replied.

"You should be glad that they splitted. Dealing with these Uchiha alone can cost out life if we don't pay enough attention."

The both of them turned to try looking at the further direction. "I wasn't wrong." One of them started again. "There was someone also following those eleven. Just that, they don't seem to be on the same boat. So far... those assassins will take care of the group that stay behind. Our part is those Uchiha."

"What about the rest of them?" The other inquired.

"The group of girls going with that Hyuuga?" The first one smirked inside the hood, glancing at the group heading to the left route. "I don't think we can finish off these Uchiha no matter how we try before He does that to that group..."

"Sounds like a plan..." The other one stood up. In a poof of smoke, both hooded figures in green outfit were turned unseen...

Undetectable...

[LunarCoast]

"Umm this is intresting... seems like another group is attacking them."
"This mean we can leave?"
"No you two attack the other groups I'll going after the Byaukagan user."She replied. They both nodded and left finally. She continued onwards going on after Ichijin.

Ryu looked at the group he was in and said, "You think this is a good idea? I thought staying in a single group might of been best."

[Caedus]

"If we stay in one big group..we all risk getting followed and that means all of us are in danger. At least in groups we can always go back and look for you..it also makes tracking us more confusing and difficult" Kenshin replied to Ryu and he started to slightly quicken his pace, ready to break off along with the others. This would prove to be interesting..
__________________________________________________ ____________

A pair of merciless crimision eyes opened..the very crimison repersenting all the blood that had spilled on this man's account. His eyes were a bit shaky, considering the man's small nap. He wasnt alone..something stood before him. It was a kage bushin but of course..he kage bushih stared back..towering over the sitting man, ready to say something.

"A little birdy has informed off us of a little...fun..care to come along?" The kage bushin stated, all on its own. The features of the kage bushin and the man remained hidden due to the thick darkness. The young man continued to look back..staying seated on a chair, thinking as he then responded.

"What of the others.." The man asked, curious.

"Who knows..but thats what makes it more exciting"

There was no reply but several moments before the young man finally spoke. "Got it.." The figure stood up. He was tall in his own right but the kage bushin before him was much taller. The clone then disappeared as the crimision eyed man stared forward into the darkness of the hidden base before disappearing..

[RyuAce]

Kihei grins a little.

"Yeah..." He thinks for a moment. "Though...you'll only spar with Kurama and I for now..." He gestures to Kurama sitting next to him. "The rest of my ANBU are still recovering from the fight...We're the only ones still capable..."

--

Yahiko nods, staying next to Tereya. He keeps a grip on his sword, ready to draw it and fight if the two that attacked them earlier returns.

--

Touya sighs, his ice blade staying against her throat for a moment.

"We'll take you to taichou for now. Let him decide if we should kill you or not." Ice inchs over Yuriko's body, freezing her over except for her head. She was still alive, but completely immobile, save for her head.

[A Common Hero]

"Right..." he says, trailing off. He sounds more serious, and less crazy at the moment.

"So who do I kill, and how much am I getting paid for this? Uchiha and Hyuuga are more difficult than your average villager, or even the average Shinobi. This is a whole new job entirely, compared to what I was hired for."

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe listens to the conversation with interest, even though her face showed that she was passive. She listened more then nods her head in agreement at some parts. What was this land anyways? It seemed it was pretty important...seeing how some people were following them. She closes her eyes and brings out her sharingan too, like the others. She wasn't as trained as her cousin, but she was of some use she hoped.

[Caedus]

"Now..lets move" Kenshin simply stated, the first group already moving out. Enough talk..it was time for action. The Uchiha began to quicken his pace, proceeding towards the mission objective. Gouzu and Meizu just shrugged and then followed the younger Uchiha. They remained relaxed so far, to them..the enemies following them did not seem much of a problem. While the other groups were doing their job..Kenshin figured he was doing the right thing.

Meanwhile..off in the woods..two figures continued to move very rapidly through the darkness of the woods..their destination and objective unclear at all..moving swiftly and stealthly. Only the most elite level of shinobi would be capable to know that the two are even in the surrounding area.

[A Common Hero]

Ken waits up in a tree. His white hair lays about his face. One might assume he is contemplating his oponents, and how best to defeat them. or even whther to engage them at all. Tht is not what he is doing as he waits in the shadows.

What kind of battle crie should I use. I used peanut butter last time... but I do owe the gnomes a couple for my allegiance to them. then their is the ever pleasant gibberish. Or I might sing the tune of-

The list goes on for several moments, and all the time he looks down at Kiya and her companions, remaining hidden, but not caring if they see him.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

It was already midnight, yet the brightness of the full moon light still somehow managed to illuminate the part of the whole with its gentleness.

The hooded figures' voices could be heard from each other, yet those were almost silent whisper, and would be unlikely for the others to detect.

"Are you gonna attack now? If they head further they are bound to reach our base."

"Don't get anxious. What will be the deal if they reach the base?"

"Are you crazy? They're gonna-" The first one showed clear bewilderment.

"Watch it." The other snapped "You still believe they can even see it? You know this forest. Once they get lost, it will be decades..."

The first one stayed silent for seconds, before voicing an audible snicker. "That should work. I think I will enjoy watching their loss."

[LunarCoast]

"Umm night..."Rain muttered under his breath, he slowly sat on the tree branch and looked at his apprentice and said, "I trust you can keep an eye on all the Leaf Ninja's movements and other ninja in the area?"
"I'm not a senceing type..."He frowned.
"Umm sorry I forgot... Ok follow the group that Ryu is part of... dont get involved in any conflicts however."
He sighed and mummbled something and left after throwing a shuriken into the ground.

Ryu said, "It's getting late... maybe we should stop we can get lost easily if we continue." She reduced his speed until he stopped and looked at the other members of the group. He tried to keep his chakra low as possible so people wouldn't detect him by chakra but he wasn't perticularly good.

[Caedus]

"Several groups..all in random directions. Some heading in some directions..others following. I've confirmed multiple fractions in this one" The largest man said as the two rapidly moved through the woods. They moved very fast and almost undectable. The shadows of the forest hid them..very well.

"Do we split up?.." The smaller figure asked..staying just slightly ahead of his partner. His crimision eyes staring dead forward.

"Of course..why not..makes things more interesting..say..we gonna kill them?" The larger one asked once more in curiousity as the pair continued to rapidly progress on through.

"Go ahead..but I dont intend on massacaring weak shinobi who cant defend themselves" The younger one replied. "Now..lets move.." The man added and just like that..the two disappeared, each heading deeper into the forest while going in different directions..

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"I'm eager, we should go right through it now." A voice came to the other's ear.

"Patience. Patience. That's the way you get the job done." Another calmer voice raised.

Both of the previously hooded figures, now remaining hidden somewhere in the leaves, stared at the group of the five Uchiha's, now starting seeming to get lost in the extreme complication of the forest.

"You see. Even without genjutsu, they still find themselves running in circles." The calm one said. "This would wear them down slowly, yet easily, then, come the way we rule them out, each one, with ease."

"I don't know. There's something wrong about this."

"Behave and stay focus, I don't want our lives wasted... not this time..."

[Kuno]

Ichijin led his group his Byakugan active. He could sense the many groups now wandering the forest. His muscles tensed as he slowed his pace. He judged his group for a moment. "Two kunoichi and boy...I should be able to protect them..." he thinks for a moment shaking his head. "Maybe I didn't split the group evenly enough..." he thinks of his group wishing he had chosen different the sighs. "To late now..." Ichijin mumbles quietly to himself as watches around him. "We will stop here. Not safe to travel in unknown forests at night..." he says slowing down. "And, I want this attack on my terms..." he thinks sensing the guy in the tree and the others closing in.

[RyuAce]

"Hai," Yahiko answers quickly, sensing the man and the other ones approaching as well. He lets go of his sword, letting it hand at his side instead, relaxing a bit. He's still ready for if they attack, but doesn't show it much. He looks between Ichijin, Tereya, and Tsuya, waiting to see what they would do next.

[LunarCoast]

The female Ninja threw a Kuni at Ichijin with an explosive tag attached to it through the use of a string. She stopped behide the group skidding to a halt.

Rain thought, So meny diffrent fractions any one of them could be in allience with Marxon or still oppents. I hate the fact that they are all so close togeather, I hope the kid is alright. He looked at his book and opened it and began reading not really caring if he was detected or not.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe ran faster, now slightly behind her cousin. She surveyed the land with her eyes. not really seeing anything, or sensing for that matter. Her eyes stayed peeled, then she looked at her cousin. He was definently becoming a true leader. She admired him for it, but it went away when she started looking around again. Her fan was on her back, in a easy position to take off if need be.

[Captain Obvious]

Tsuya senses the man in the tree not yet sensing the ones in the distance. She then looks at Ichijin, 'Very well, if he isn't acting yet I will not either...' she thinks then looks at the man in the tree, to Tereya, 'She wouldn't be here if she didn't have something up her sleeve...' She thinks as she senses the Kunai, She deals with it by slicing the wire and sending it flying back quickly.

[A Common Hero]

Ken grins, looking down at his pray.

Now I am ready.

He jumps into the air, laning ight in the middleof the group.

"Yo," he says, keeping it simple.

[Kuno]

Ichijin sensed the kunai but the girl reacted before he could. He was grateful as he had been keeping his full attention on the guy in the tree. "Maybe she is good...even if she is just a kunoichi..." he thinks then sees the guy move.

He glares at the man pushing Tereya out of the way staying between them. He gets into his Jyuuken stance. "What is your business here?!" he demands and waits for a response or an attack hoping that the others are keeping there eyes on the other attacker.

[Fatherofkyubi]

Jasik sensed the demon coming. It was one of the greatest energies he had sensed for a while. "Ryu, Hikaru, heads up, theres something powerful coming. I think it may be a demon." he said. "I don't know yet, but it is strong." he said again. He focused on his fingers, and turned them into finger shaped knives.

[A Common Hero]

The metal of his hands creates a sharp sound as he runs through hand signs. The metal claws are set ablaze.

"You see, I'm here to kill you lot. Nothing personal, it's just too fun not to."

He whips out his hand, and tendrils of fire shoot out around the two fighters . They begin to set the forest around them on fire.

[LunarCoast]

She rolled to the left douging the Kuni that was deflected back at her it blew up in the distance causing a redish glow which just as quickly faded as it appered. She looked at Ichijin and thought, So it begins...

Rain noticed the explosion and sighed.

"A deamon?"Ryu asked and said, "If it is a deamon then we might have are hands full and that explosion makes me assume one of the other groups have made contact with an enermy... Agh things just get worse dont they."Ryu stated. He drew his Katana and said, "I think we best try and ambush it."

[Caedus]

The Uchiha's continued to rapidly move, heading towards what seemed to be their destination. However after some time..things became too odd for the young Uchiha. "Wait..hold it.." Kenshin stated. He had stopped moving as Geizu and Meizu pasted, their momentum carrying them forward but they slowed down soon enough, curious on why the young Uchiha had stopped. They shrugged as they looked at each other before looking at Kenshin.

"We've traveled for some time..we've obviously must have made it by now" Kenshin stated. Something made him feel un easy..

"Oi..perhaps we made a mistake?" Miezu asked.

"Or we could just be very slow..lemme me see the map again" Geizu stated. Kenshin tossed his copy of the map too the Uchiha Jounin who began looking at it.

"Take a break..5 minutes.." Kenshin ordered. He wanted to get things sorted out but at the same time..something wasnt right..

[Fatherofkyubi]

"You are probably right. If we're gonna ambush it, then I need something fast to fight with." he said. He turned his entire right forearm into a sword, about two inches across, and two feet long. It was bendable, just like a regular arm. "We might as well start now. I can feel it getting closer." he said. "I wonder how many tails it has?" he said to himself.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe had stopped right after him. "Kenshin..." she walks up to him after they had started the break "Think we are in a Genjutsu? It does seem kind of odd..... " Ashe's eyes trailed onto the map. "I haven't really been this far I don't think or remember" she said. She was as stumbled as Kenshin, her only idea was about the genjutsu.

[Kuno]

Ichijin raised an eyebrow. "If that is what you want..." he says his gaze sitting coldly on the enemy shinobi. "You shall die here..." he says flatly staying in front of Tereya as he asseses the situation around them. "Tsuya, Yahiko deal with our other friend. Stay close though..." he says not taking his eyes off the man in front of him.

Tereya grips the hilt of her sword as she watches things unfold around her knowing she was going to have to prove herself to be much more than what was thought of her. She pulled her sword slowly staying where she was for the moment figuring to not get in the way of the others unless she was needed.

[A Common Hero]

He smiles.

"Fearless. I like that!"

He runs at Ichijin, holding his hands out behind him, burning the ground as he runs. When he gets close, he slashes at Ichijin, which also causes the flame whips to shoot down around him in the same motion.

[RyuAce]

"Hai." Yahiko draws his sword and grins a little. He holds the blade ready, glancing at Tsuya. He didn't know how she fought...It'd be hard to work with her to fight their enemy. He turns his attention back to his opponent before running at her, his sword glowing blue iwth chakra as he approached.

[Caedus]

"No idea..just remain calm and focused, we'll figure out something.." Kenshin stated. He loooked around..if he was just part of the game, along with the others..he better had to figure out how to win this. Expirence..information, these things would prove to be very valuable, but like the battle to re-take the village..he had to use the best of his abiltities. Win or lose..The young Uchiha kneeled on one knee..resting up, staying relaxed and keeping his composure while Geizu and Miezu were looking at the map..

[Captain Obvious]

Tsuya forms a handseal and steps into a paticular position, 'Okay if I can get this right I can catch 'em.' She thinks then takes a few deep breath, "Heads up!" She says and takes a huge breath then spits a layer of sticky substance on the ground. Then sits there to lure the opponents onto the field as she is standing ontop of it.

[Kuno]

Ichijin ducks and dodges the blow though getting a few burns in the process. He grunts slightly with the pain of the attack but he charges also. His Byakugan activated he aims for a few key points on his opponent. Trying to close down part of his chakra system and getting a feel of his fighting ablilities. The others in to close of aproximity for him to use his Kaiten.

Tereya clutches her sword as she watches the fight waiting to see if she was needed at all. She waits and watches.

[Emo_panda227]

Ashe stayed kneeling beside her cousin. Her eyes were closed and she was thinking deeply. Her mind wandered around , but her ears stayed peeled. Ashe finally opened her eyes then takes her hand off of her fan. No danger seemed to be happening at the moment. Her sharingan eyes wandered around the place and she inspected each odd thing. Nothing seemed out of place or odd....but this seemed more than just a ordinary scouting mission.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Yeah, thats a good choice." she said. She was happy that they were taking her to jail, but she really didn't care about dying. She has killed many innocents, and believes that murderers of the innocents should be put to death. "So, what is this place like? Is there a place for training?" she said with an evil smile.

[A Common Hero]

Ken leans back, smilling like a demon. His hands touch down to the ground, and his claws dig into the earth behind him. He then let's his body snap with the motion, all in one quick rush. His feet leave the ground, and at this range will probably slam into Ichijin's chin.

As he lands on his feet again, he follows it all up by ripping the dirt out of the ground with his embeded claws, tossign it into Ichijin's eyes.

[LunarCoast]

She makes a hand sign and says, "This will be over in 10 minutes Ichijin." seeming to know him pritty well already, somehow. Of course it was probly some kind of Jutsu she used to find it out or had over heard his name being spoken of at the camp.

Ryu grinned at him mentioning the Tails and said, "If your refering to one of the Nine greater deamons then I'd be happy to fight one no matter how meny tails."

Marxon mummbled to himself, "She's taking to damn long."

[Fatherofkyubi]

Jasik laughed. "Well, the demon is getting closer every second we spend time talking. I'll hide in one of the above trees, you hide wherever you want. Its a demon, so that means this fight will be long. Just ambush it when it gets close." he said, then jumped up into the above trees, and took his left glove off. This may be a demon, but he might still be able to absorb from it.

[LunarCoast]

Ryu muttered, "You act like your leading this team... pfft then again we never decided who should lead oh well." he slung the katana over his shoulder and walked off into some bushes. This best work, or ambushing it might turn into more of a death trap for us.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Hey, I heard that! I'm not leading the team, I'm just coming up with ideas! Something your not good at!" Jasik yelled at ryu, loud enough for him to hear him, but quiet enough so that the demon wouldn't. He has always had a short temper. If you ever messed with him, he would always go all out on you, with words or fists, depending on the situation.

[LunarCoast]

"Last I heard it was me that surguested we ambushed it, not you."Ryu muttered noot being bothered by his comrade much. He sighed and sat back waiting for the 'deamon' if it was a deamon to show up not knowing how long it would take.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"Yeah, and all of a sudden, you don't like your idea! Have some self-confidence!" he yelled back at him. He was tired of arguing, and didn't feel like saying anymore. Then, the trees started to rustle, and the demon showed up. Jasik was astounded. It was the first demon he had ever seen.

[Caedus]

"There's only one way to truely figure out its a genjutsu" Kenshin stated. The young Uchiha stated as he stood up, break was now over. Geizu and Meizu looked up, after some time looking at the map and their little mumbles that consisted of aruging were considered to be pretty much pointless and a waste of breath.

"We'll leave markers and then proceed on towards the mission destination. Should we of course find these markers again, then its obvious its genjutsu. The best we can do is remain calm and relaxed and work together. Should it be genjutsu, our only chance is for them to find us. Just in case anything happens..remember the word.." Kenshin leaned forward slightly as he whispered. "Akatsuki"

Geizu and Meizu nodded. They wouldnt have much difficulity remembering it. Still it was rather ironic on why the young Uchiha chose the word but they said nothing.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Interesting. They're starting to call out some tricks." The voice of one of the two hooded figures entered the other's head.

"That's a reasonable way to solve the prob. Now what? They didn't seem to be that exhausted, if we get down now, I'm not sure if we can survive to return." The other lowered his voice as both of them closely followed the four Uchiha's.

"I'm thinking... How would they react if they do think this is a genjutsu?" The first one audibly snickered.

"You mean..." The other voice raised after seconds of silence, showing a slight confusion.

"They want markers. They'll have the markers. Just stay focus and memorize whatever they show us. For the word... I think I do have a little plan for this..."

[Kuno]

Ichijin's eyes widen as he he springs backward and realizes a little to late what was going to happen. His head snaps back as the boot makes contact with his chin causing him flip backward also. He thinks quick landing on his hands and springs to his feet. Lucky for him the action caused him to distance himself enough to see the dirt coming. He turns his head momentarily to shield his eyes from it. He glares at the shinobi and feels the gash on his chin his hand coming away bloody.

"So you play dirty..." Ichijin states as he hears his name hoping that for the moment the others will keep the Kunoichi occupied.

[Caedus]

"A battle.." The figure stopped moving. His crimision eyes staring off into the woods. Narrowing his eyes, his thoughts and curiosity led him to one thing. The man then rapidly darted forward towards the direction of the body, assuming his partner was somewhere in the area. He wasnt exactly familar with the charka's but it did not matter..nobody knew he was here..Once more he rapidly headed towards where the engament was going on, using the woods to cover him visibly as his immense speed pressed on towards his destination.

[A Common Hero]

"I take advantage of the world around me!" he laughs, running through some hand signs, and sending a giant fireball at the Hyuuga.

Hidden by the chakra from the flames in front of him, he runs just behind the fireball, aiming to follow up the burst of flame with more close range combat.

[RyuAce]

Yahiko makes a hand seal with his free hand, stopping a few feet from the woman.

"Boruto!" He swings his sword quickly, a blast of lightning being sent from the blade towards her.

--

Touya glares at her slightly.

"What's it to you? YOu won't be able to use any of it. We're keeping you in prison. Completely immobile. Unless ordered otherwise...I wouldn't mind killing you here, honestly..."

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko's eyes turned completely black. She looked at Touya. "And I wouldn't mind ripping your heart out and eating it right in front of your friend. Then gouging his eyes out and playing with them like a kitten and yarn. But will I, no." she said, with a very serious expression on her face. "Kill me, go ahead I deserve it. But keep in mind this, I died and came back once, don't think I can't do it again." she said.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

"Are you sure they're gonna head this way? We're like miles ahead." said one the two hooded figures, now visible as they sped with all their might from branches to branches, no longer sticking themselves to the moving four Uchiha's.

"Don't question my command, young man, you never know what's the right way." The other coldly replied as they both landed on a clearing with multitudes of ancient trees similar to the previous spot. "Now that we remembered the shape and position of those markers..." He smirked and took out a kunai. "...let's turn this place to hell."

The younger one nervously took out a kunai from inside his cloak, swinging it a little before turning back to the older man with an confirming look. He turned back and approached a large tree, starting to slowly craft something on the surface...

[Caedus]

Kenshin looked at all the poistions of where he left the markers. Each had special symbols and he forced himself, Geizu and Meizu to remember where each one was hidden. If this was truely genjutsu..they would find out soon. As long as they remained relaxed and calm and avoided using too much charka, they should be fine..in a way. As for their little password..it was easily reconizable to them and would provide as a means of knowing who each other was.

"Keep aware of everything..take note of anything odd.." Kenshin stated. This game of wits against his enemy, surely they were somewhere, keeping an eye on them but they were Uchiha and they never did intend on backing down from a fight and refuse to give up. "Let's move" Geizu said as Miezu smirked. Once more..the Uchiha proceeded to head on towards the direction of where their mission destination was..

[RyuAce]

Suzaku's eyes turn blood red, glaring at Yuriko.

"You think you can stop us?" She feels her chakra start draining from her body. "I know everything about you, Yuriko. How you survived for instance...Pretty useless with your chakra drained, huh?" His voice sounded slightly demonic. Overlapping his own voice.

[Hyuuga Ichirou]

Both hooded figures had already been sitting on the branches nearby, still somewhat revealing their visibility. The site below them didn't look exactly like the spot they had just been, yet, unless those red-eyed victims did memorize every single tiny detail, how many leaves there were in on a particular branch, with those identical markers already recrafted, those two clearing would be almost the same.

The two patiently waited, the green cloak and hoods were visible at time, and indeed, they did know what would happen if they got detected.

But that shouldn't be a big problem to the both of them. They always had in their arsenal the sharpest tool of espionage. They always had behind their cloak the secret ninja art exclusive to their beloved clan. It was just... the moment had yet to come.

[Fatherofkyubi]

"And I know most about you Suzaku. I know how you know how to drain like this, you summon the demons of hell into your body. I can see into hell, I could probably name all the ones you have inside you right now." she said. Her eyes kept being black, like a demon's. "I have one of the head ones in me right now. Just know, if you ever spread the secret, I will look into the pit, and tell them personally that they will not let you." she said.

"So keep draining me, you can't drain it all." she said. She started to sprout horns. Just a little warining to the demons inside him. Her voice was being very demonic also.

[RyuAce]

"You think you scare me, wench?" Suzaku laughs. "My power is unparraled...I can summon the Lord of Hell within me...A pact with them...You won't be able to turn them against me." His voice returns to normal slowly. "But I will keep your secret for now..." He thinks for a moment. "Except to taicho-..." He pauses for a moment. Then nods. "Fine, I'll keep it a secret for now. But if you get out of hand, everyone will know. Even if you kill me, I would be able to tell someone...because I will sell my soul to the demons to tell for me."

[Fatherofkyubi]

Yuriko still had her eyes black. "Go ahead, sell your soul, then you will have nothing to look forward to after death. Your demons don't scare me either. I talk to demons for fun. Their to afraid to allow me to sell my soul to them. Keep using them for your intimidation, I really don't care." she said.

"You laugh but your scared shitless on the inside." she said. "All demons are afraid for themselves." she said again. "So go ahead and laugh, because karma will bite you in the ass." she said
