Naruto: Dawn of a new era.

"Well, no one likes me. For one, so it goes without saying that you wouldn't as well....." Masa shrugged, still watching him. " A shinibi doesn't know forgiveness." She stated simply, quoting to him a lesson from school on their code.
 
Coro patted Masa on the back, a bit hard regarding she was still bruised. It's not that he would mean to hurt her, he was just like that.


"Ha, the school's shinobi code is out-dated. I make my own rules, so, now you're friends with the son of the Hidden Shadow's very own 'Demon Soldier'! I'm gonna be the next hero of the village, so just stick with me, kid." He said, his voice a bit deeper than normal, because he was trying to sound cool.
 
Flinching a bit, but otherwise not doing a thing, Masa just took a deep breath. "It's not outdated if it still dictates our lives, and proves worthy in a fight. " As he said friend though, she shut up, face going red, and looked at the people around them, rather than him. "I'm not a kid." She mumbled.
 
Coro noticed he people around them as they continued walking, and waved, knowing a few. He was quite a personality in the village, that was for sure....


He then noticed Masa going red, and chuckled.


"What, humbled in my presence?" He asked jokingly.
 
"You could say that..." Masa said, lightly punching him in the arm. "So, future village leader, what do you plan on doing after tonight? Are you going to tackle missions to extreme for the anbu? Hunt down a demon to fight?"
 
Coro looked insulted.


"I didn't say 'future village leader'. I said next village hero. I wouldn't wanna lead, too much of a hassle." He explained his philosphy, nodding to his own thoughts.


"AND, you've got it wrong. I train with demons, not fight them. And I eat dragons." He added with a grin.
 
Shrugging, she replied, "Same thing to me, honestly. They make a lot of hero's leaders." Yawning, Masa raised a hand an played with the part of her hair that was longest. "And no you don't. If anything, you eat snails."
 
Coro pouted at bit, a twinkle in his eyes, as his house approached in view.


"..... Fire-breathing snails." He grumbled, his fake pout un-convincing.
 
Masa laughed a bit, "Cute." She said simply, before trying to picture that and her laughter went full blown.
 
Coro nodded, spotting his sister in the window of their third floor apartment.


"Fire-breathing snails would be cute....." He agreed, suddenly thinking of how he was gonna bring a beat-up girl home after just leaving for candy..... His sister was have some choice words.... and they'd probably be making fun of him.
 
"I meant you but okay..." She chuckled a bit more, before sighing, following his look and nodded her head, "Sister? Or Mother?"
 
Coro didn't really hear Masa, concentrating on a way to get in without Masa being noticed.


"Hm..... My sister's home, so.... Let's go in through the window." He thought out loud, answering Masa's question without meaning to.
 
"...the window?" Masa asked, "Were you not suppose to be out?" Not that she couldn't break into a place. There had been many nights she had done so herself.
 
Coro shook his head.


"My sister would never let it go that I brought a girl home, even just to get bandages." He said non-chalantly, jumping onto a fence, then to the ledge of a second story window, and then to the ledge of his own, motioning for Masa to follow.
 
Following behind him with ease, despite the injuries, Masa had to giggle, "Does she not know guys can have female friends?" But she knew where he was coming from, if she brought anyone but Riyoshi or Shin with her, she'd get her hide blistered raw among other various things.
 
"That would be impossible. You could not have seen this man's face before." Gari replied to Tasuki.


Standing firm with his arms crossed over his chest, Gari continued to look at Tasuki.


"Do not worry. You are safe from the sentences this time. Do not even think about taking anything from here. Everything that is in this room, has been brought here for the soul purpose of peace throughout all the nations." Gari said just before sighing deeply.


Looking over at Gari, Riyoshi knew that he should forgive him for keeping all this secret, but he was just astonished for actually having a picture of his father.


"Let me ask you something. Can you tell me the story about my father and the event that happened 9 years ago?" Riyoshi asked Gari while still standing in front of the podium.


Gari nodded before instructing the two kids over to the booths that lay behind them.


"Take a seat and I will tell you." Gari said as he rubbed his eyes and awaited them to take their seats.
 
Coro shook his head.


"It's never happened before, but she's nosy, and is always asking about girls and junk. Useless, all of it." He replied, opening the window and slipping in all stealthy like.
 
"I see..." Masa mused, having to quiet a giggle before following him in, going silent as she did so.
 
:: tasuki nodded sheepishly, and did as she was told, sitting beside Riyoshi, she had her hands in her lap, and she continued to figit ::


Tasuki: "o-okay..."


:: she looked around, trying to avoid making eye-contact with Gari ::
 
Grabbing the bandages from his bedside table, Coro grinned, and started going back to the window. Just as soon as he passed the door, it creaked open a tiny bit.


Coro sighed.


Haruka kicked the door the rest of the way in, narrowly missing Coro. She sprinted in, and grabbed Coro before he had the time to do anything.


Holding him in a headlock, while her sixteen year old body was on display in underpants and a loose top, hair messy and everywhere, she started laughing.


"Thought you could sneak in, didn't 'cha? Well, you failed, again. I'll have to help you with stealth too." She rubbed in his face, very much like an older brother.


Her expression went a little weird as she saw the bandages. Perplexed, she looked around the room while Coro struggled.


After longer than it should have taken, Haruka noticed Masa.


"OH! A girl!" She exclaimed, dropping Coro. He got up, and scurried away, breathing heavily. "How are you?" Haruka asked, fixing her hair a bit in the presence of company.
 
As his sister burst in, Masa nearly fell back out the window, a bit surprised, and rather afraid. Looking at her, she blinked a few times, "I'm fine, Ma'am." She managed to get out, eyes looking anywhere but at her, feeling rather uncomfortable.
 
Gari cleared his throat before pulling a chair over and taking a seat in front of the children. As Riyoshi was sitting next to Tasuki, he elbowed her a little in the side and whispered to her.


"Stop figiting and listen." Riyoshi whispered to her.


Clearing his throat in a very demanding matter, Gari sat in front of the kids. Taking in a deep breath, he soon started upon his speech.


"It all started about 10 years ago. The rivalry between the Nihoma clan and the Hyabusa clan. They were rivals since the starting of the village. Because of this reason, the Kage had to put them at opposite ends of the village. Through out the years, they battled for dominance for the village. Each battle forced the kage to side with Nihoma clan since they battled for the peace of the village and not to over throw government. One day, the Hyabusa clan recruited ninja from the hidden cloud village and used them to over power the Nihoma clan. These renegade ninja used their blood line to over power some of the ninja and force them to turn on their own clansmen." Gari said.


Looking away from the kids and towards the wall to his left, he pointed towards a large green scroll with an orange dragon on it.


"Inside that scroll is the secret behind that technique. Your mother was the one to come in and figured out the secret behind it and seal that technique. She was the greatest sealing technique user of the Nihoma clan. Using her skills alongside your father, they were able to stop the invading cloud ninja. But using this opportunity, the Hyabusa clan attacked. Using their sheer numbers, they over whelmed the weakened Nihoma clan. The Kage would not stand for this and stepped in. Standing by the Nihoma clan enraged the leader of the Hyabusa clan. Arriving at the Kage's and Saito's location, The leader of the Hyabusa clan challenged the two great ninja. Even though it was one ninja against the kage and your father, the hyabusa's blood line limit came into play. There clan had an eye technique that resembled the leaf's valuable sharingan. With this technique, he could not be taken down by either of the two greatest ninja. None of their techniques could get near him and he was able to avoid most of there taijutsu. The few taijutsu moves they were able to land on him were deflected and weak in power. Drawing out this battle would prove fatal for the kage, your father and most importantly the village. So, being the kage, unleashed a power so great, that it rivaled a jinchuuriki. Using the power of a 'ghost', he wielded power far greater then that eye technique could handle. Barely keeping up with the 'ghost', the hyabusa clan ninja soon found himself in trouble as he was receiving damage. He could not keep up with this great power, and started to retreat. Seeing his opening, your father would not accept this retreat. Using the remaining power that he had, he conjured up a technique he learned from the kage. A soul burial. But in exchange for using the skill, he would in turn lose his life. It was an ultimate technique, but it was also a double edged blade." Gari said as he soon pointed to the small set of scrolls to his right.
 
Keiji Yukinara walked down the village path towards the center of the village. The Onikage had summoned him personally. In actuality, the Onikage creeped Keiji out, but who was he to complain? Just another Jounin called out to serve under the will of the Kage.


Sooner than he had anticipated (or hoped) he found himself before the door to the Onikage's office itself. Raising a hesitant hand, he rapped sharply on the door three times before it swung open, like a gaping mouth, willing to swallow him up. Keiji's will almost wavered for a second as he crossed the threshold, but his trailing held true, and he plunged into the depths that was the office.


"Who keeps the hall lights off, geez..." Keiji muttered to himself flicking the lights back on. The lights sputtered on revealing shelves and shelves covered with all sorts of... paperwork. Keiji shuddered at the sight and plunged on.


As he reached the room of the Onikage himself, he found the light on, and the door open. In fact, one of his oldest friends were already seated in the office, next to the Onikage himself.


"Well... um... hey. Am I late?"


 
*5 years ago* Sui and i are in a flashback*


Looking over at his friend that had just arrived, he waved.


"There you are. We were just discussing about you." Shini said.


The onikage got up from his seat and walked over to the shelves on the far wall. Reaching up, he grabbed a hold of one of the scrolls. Taking it down from the shelf, he untied it and unrolled it.


"You two have been chosen for this mission due to your particular skills. I know you work well alone, but i know that each of you will benefit greatly from each other. This mission is a high grade rank S mission and is not to be taken lightly." The onikage said to the two men.


"A mission this early. I just graduated and didn't he just get back from one?" Shini asked with a confused look on his face.


"I do realize that Shini, but this is about the security of the village we are speaking about. You two are going to make sure the village maintains peace with the neighboring country. By any means necessary." The onikage said in a more demanding tone.


Walking over to his desk, the onikage slammed the scroll upon the top of the desk. Unraveling the scroll out a little to reveal a map, he pointed towards the neighboring country. The demon country.
 
Keiji drew his finger across the scroll. The demon country, was it? He had heard whisperings, rumers, about things happening in the neighboring country, none of it good, but rumors were just that, right? Keiji was still tired from his long walk back to the village, and yet here he was again, getting sent out to who-knows-where without getting a chance to relax and pick the dirt out from between his toes. All that traveling over dusty roads really does add up.


Sighing, Keiji threw out a hopeless excuse.


"But the paperwork from my last..."


"Is already being taken care of" cut off the Onikage, "you're leaving tonight"


Keiji gave a grunt of defeat before handing the scroll back to Shini. "At least they gave me a decent partner this time, lets hope my luck holds."


Picking up the job roster, Keiji skimmed over the description once again. "You can't be serious, can you? I mean those were just rumors, they haven't actually been proven facts yet, right? you're sending us on a wild goose chase!"
