Naruto Rebirth: Kakureyami (Complete)

What train of thought that Han did have would end ,as Chiaki responded to her blinking a few times her expression nothing to read to much into.As Chiaki spoke to the blind folded male,Roku to be exact ,Han question her self had she ever met this blind person.Could have met this man namely because she didn't remember pissing him off ,though listening to her silver tongue cohort made Han slightly humored as it clicked to her.The boy was being a geisha without even intending to do so ,or maybe he did this on peruses to comfort those around him even if the end result ended in a blatant lie.


Han was about to speak ,"Chia.."but was cut off at the sudden appearance of Ryuu inside the camp medical tent,first with him questioning if Chiaki was a doctor .Than if he knew a doctor to treat his wounds,she almost reply to Ryuu but his sudden movement to the downed Shirokko caused her to pause once more to hear out the boy threat .following along after Ryuu giving him some space as she spoke,"Some brat know as Sozoshi,we met the girl a few moments ago i can only reason she was able to "play" with shirokko ".she would reply crossing her arms,the thought came to her questioning why was she being polite to the Suna-Brat dead or alive they couldn't or rather would befriend one another so why now choose to use her name perhaps last rites of the dying came to Han mind though from Chiaki theory at least she would be fine.She keep a wary eye on Ryuu examining him for his reaction ,just an case it cause for a need to get clear of him the berserk Kumo ninja still fresh in Han mind.

Kurontishiosapiyanaba Askiwundatakaeyanebi & Uzazab
  • Kumo Castle: 4th Floor


Creeeaaak.


The twenty soldiers turned their heads from watching the staircase, to beholding a trail of mist leaking from out the open door of the Raikage's office. Moments later, a body came sauntering out from within the mist. It was the king of Kumo himself. Confused, the soldiers turned to one another, hushed words demonstrating the respectful dismay they held for their mad leader. What was he doing out of the office? In the middle of an enemy attack no less!


"Reeeelaaaax people. I'm going to be just fine. I have my purple-headed ninja-slave here with me." Snickering, he trotted forward, not even looking back to see if Uzazab was trailing him. But he didn't have to, because she was. He knew her personality. No matter what he said, she'd perform her duty and stand by him to the best of her ability.


"So. What's going on, tools of mine? What's with all this noise on the lower floors? They having a party down there without me?"


Clearing his throat, one of the twenty soldiers on the 4th floor, replied with the news. "Sir, intruders entered the castle, and have cleared out the first and second floors. From what we're hearing, theyalready made it onto the 3rd floor. The assassins could be here in this hallway, in a matter of minutes. Please, great leader, return to your room. We'll handle everything going on outside."


"Ugh." Kuro knew what this man was doing. Avoiding saying his name. Kuro was annoyed by this, but let the thought of killing another soldier flee his mind. These mystery folk were really starting to get on his nerves. Coming into his castle, destroying his things, taking the lives of his property?? Only he was allowed to do that! How dare they!


"Ninja." He flipped to Uzazab. "You're coming with me. We're going to the 3rd floor. Right now. You're going to teach these people a lesson and I'm going to sit back and watch." Storming off down to the staircase, the 20 Kakureyami soldiers looked on, horrified. Had Kuro gone mad? No. Kuro was always mad.


A few men felt an urge to say something, but dying for speaking out of turn held greater influence over their souls. They could only stand frozen in place, as Kuro, and the ninja who follows him of her own free will, descend the stairs.

  • Kumo Castle: 3rd Floor


"Do any of you guards have any snacks on you?!" Kuro was confused by this statement. Snacks? Guards having snacks? What? "Ninja. Is every one your kind stupid?" Biting a nail, he continued. "Get over there and find out what's going on."


In a flash, Uzazab shot down the hallway with her executioner's blade in hand. Pivoting on her heel once in front of the break-room's door, the shinobi paused, taking in the incomprehensible sight. Dango sticks pierced through the bodies of the deceased, with a tall, curious woman, checking their corpses for who-knows-what.


"Excuse me," leveling with Chanda, she started. "I'm a bit puzzled. Do you understand what you're doing? How careless you are? Is this behavior of yours just an act? Or are you really that negligent? From what I gather, this should have been a silent infiltration, but I heard you singing about food outside before it even started."


Uzazab swung up her sword, letting it rest on her left shoulder. "If this attitude of yours isn't some kind of trick...do you not feel any kind of shame for yourself?"


@Infinities Lover


@Infinities Lover ), who seemed to be in the midst of a horrible stomach-ache. They also passed a room with two women conversing over a trio of dead bodies that laid betwixt them. The man leading Lily, tried to scream out and contact somebody, but the poison held fast; he was truly not-in-control.


Stopping in front of Kuro, the zombie-soldier sluggishly stuck out an arm to him. Kumo's self-proclaimed king, raised an eyebrow at the gesture, only to break out in a grin when his eyes alighted upon the one being escorted. "OH MY!" He took in the full form of the woman, gazing at her up and down, left and right; from any direction his greedy eyeballs would allow.


"Heh. I ordered some standard girls, but no-no-no! The naughty woman sends me one of her best! Mmhmm. Top-notch goods. " He licked his lips. "Lily, the Ice Queen. What did I do to deserve this delightful upgrade?"


Lily, the Ice Queen. One of the top attendants at Ein No Yoru Palace. On his occasional visits to the place, he would always watch her from afar, never being allowed to go near. Any request he sent over for her to entertain him, was flat-out refused. Yet now, here she was, standing in front of him in the flesh. Unable to contain the anticipation, Kuro blurted out one of his long held desires, ever since hearing of her unusual trait.


"Hiss for me."

The 7th Queen

Inside his hut, Kenji ruminated on what he learned from the foreign soldier. Kenji growled. The Kakureyami were growing bolder and bolder. Now would be the world's final and only chance to coem together and stop them. If they failed to put up a fight this time around...with all of the future gains the Kakureyami would have, they'd surpass the world of ninja and all would be lost for sure.


Taking a moment to finding a corner of the room to nestle himself in, Kenji closed his eyes and crossed his arms, waiting for the girl laying on the operating table to awaken.

The Kumo Camp portion of the arc is in cool-down, you may now interact freely with civilians and others around!

Akago glared at the small creature hanging in Maika's grip as, heedless of being dangled in the air it pulled out a book with pages yellowed with age but bound in a new cover.


"Hey, hey minion-kun! Let Mata-sama out, I need her pawprint here." It jabbered excitedly opening the book and thrusting it towards Akago.





Say that's the paw encyclopaedia! I haven't seen that since I was sealed in Yugito.


I take it that means this thing is friendly? Still if it doesn't shut up you'll ge- wait are you really a she?


Gender isn't really applicable to us tailed beasts, some just think saying 'it' is somewhat ah dehumanising?


Depersonifying?





Matatabi fell silent for a moment before murmuring. You have learned very well. In any case the others are surely suspicious by now, Maika has worked with us thus far and seems capable, the other one meanwhile may not be as wise to trust with not calling out to everyone-.





"I guess I'll have to get my snacks somewhere else. You can follow if you want."





Though she appears to have helpfully removed herself from the equation for the moment.





The cat, growing impatient performed a substitution reappearing on Akago's shoulder while leaving Maika holding a lucky cat figure, tugging on the red headed samurai's ear it said. "Hurry it up I had to search for months to find you! Crazy that three of you are in the same building it almost made me jump through the wrong window."





As Akago whipped his head around to stare at his new passenger both he and Matatabi barked in unison. Three? "Three?! There are other Jinchuriki here? Which Bijuu are they?"





"I don't know I'd need to closer to get a good scent of their chakra through the seals. Now paw. Here." Sounding irate it jabbed at the open page.


"Do any of you guards have any snacks on you?!"





Glancing up at the ceiling Akago rested his face in his palm as shouts and screams rang out again. "Apparently we're out of time so let's hurry along." Looking up at Maika he said. "Alright yes I'm a Jinchuriki, to be specific the Two-Tails Jinchuriki." Moving back to look at his shoulder. "You runt. Paw later mission trainwreck first, you got a name or shall I just keep using Runt and you're a he right?"





"Aye!(Had to do it) I'm a he and Haru and not a runt! Who's fighting?"





Running up the stairs to join the noisy one he glared at her back. "If it's not her that other guy or one of those other Bijuu they're enemies."





"Right I'll handle this one!" He said as he focused on his chakra. "Ninneko Style: Cat Genjitsu!"





The seven soldiers stiffened abruptly and began staring and flailing at empty air though an incredulous looking woman holding a massive sword appeared unaffected.


3rd Floor: 7 soldiers under genjitsu
 

A Wounded Rose



​



Rozu groans audibly, as she stirs. Her body aches from the rigors she put it through in the last battle, and from being still for too long. She wasn't injured by any of her foes attacks- but the strain she puts on her body when she moves like that hurts afterwards... Besides that, her Chakra is dangerously low even after her brief rest, and she still feels.. almost ill, for some reason; even though she doesn't remember why.


"Hrngh... what happened..." She groans, in a voice far more... normal, than the rage twisted roar of battle she gave earlier. Her voice sounds human, normal; female. Gone is that beast that was unleashed against the enemies of her home, and present is the woman who loves her comrades and people more than life itself.


"Everythings just... a blur.." She complains, as she sits upright slowly.
 
The moment that white broke through the black veil of night, Kouki felt cold steel within his grasp, a sensation that would quickly vanish. As if on instinct alone, his arm stretched outward, gaze never leaving the reflective glass that held two orbs as red as the blood that would soon fall like scarlet rain. The kunai flew in a similar manner to its target, glint from the pale moon's light on its point reminiscent of the fangs of a predator hunting its prey. Not even a cry pierced the darkened sky as the graceful creature's wings ceased to flap, its journey brought to a premature end as the world quickly closed in before the light thud sounded in his ears, pure feathers now tainted.


A bird whose message had the potential to change the tides of conflict had quickly fallen, something that very well may have saved the success of the assault. However, any message or the result of its interception was unknown to the boy who had acted. There was no deeper reason for killing the avian beyond the act of killing itself.


Regardless of whether the setting was a castle or a village plagued by poverty, his mission had always been the same and the instructions had always been clear. Whenever he was to charge under the cover of night, blade in hand, those that fell under watchful eyes would soon meet their end. It was not merely one or two, a leader or an armed guard. The women, the children, the elders, the beloved pets, and those that tirelessly worked to provide for their families, none were spared. Nothing was allowed to remain, a lesson that had been driven into his mind like a rusted nail. All would cry, all would beg, and all would perish.


As his arm fell back to his side, Kouki continued to observe from his perched position, crouched atop the wooden boards beneath his feet. While his newly acquired helmet may have been a tad large for the boy, intended to be worn by a grown man, his vision remained clear as he observed from behind the transparent screen. Although, there was hardly anything worth seeing.


Unlike his initial point of entry, the third floor appeared to be empty, at least in the area he was capable of viewing. This apparent vacancy was quickly filled by the sight of a woman darting down the hall, something that was able to completely capture his attention. However, rather than the woman herself, it was the object she carried.


As the female with darkened hair stopped to position herself near a doorway, Kouki's body pressed against the glass window, face as close as possible without breaking the fragile material. As the swinging motion brought the long blade to rest on its owner's shoulder, the boy examined the weapon's body thoroughly. As every inch of steel shimmered in each individual ruby, a single word floated through his mind. 'Big.' With its size, along with the oddly carved semicircles, the sword became an addition to the boy's curious nature. He was interested.


Before Kouki would be able to act on the latest object that had managed to captivate his interest, motion would cause his eyes to draw away from the blade of considerable length. Replacing the former image was now another woman, not accompanied by a sword but a person, their distinctive armor indicating that they belonged to the ranks of Kakureyami. However, it was not known if the same could be said for the one that they led or the man who would soon be on the receiving end of their gesture.


Hair darker than lacquer and a sinister smile surrounded by several forming wrinkles, the man called out to both of the people within his company. Kouki did not care for either this individual or his words, but the order that left his mouth left him with his head tilted to the side in confusion. 'Hiss?' Like a snake? It left him puzzled, no reptile to be seen, the one he commanded being a woman.


Watching over the scene, Kouki's attention drifted back to the direction where the blade was to be found, greatly preferable to be in its company. However, before he could follow, the current obstacle would need to be dealt with. From the words that had been spoken, he would eventually find this to be the opportune setting.


The man had given commands, demanding that his orders be completed. In Kouki's mind, that would be sufficient enough to classify this one as the leader, as well as his current target. Only leaders gave orders, didn't they? While the conclusion had been reached with hardly sufficient justification, it was more than enough for the boy.


If he were to eliminate his mark, it would be equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. With the end of the man's life came the end of the mission, bringing him closer to the words of knowledge that had been promised to him. Free of any obstruction, he would then be allowed to pursue the blade.


At that very moment, a single spark flashed across the glass, reflecting across the screen. Soon, the spark would morph into a furious display of electricity. From the palm that remained pressed against the clear barrier, a wave of blinding blue was released, causing the window to shatter. Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder.


The actions that followed were in an instant, yet the scene had been chaotic. Several shards of glass darted towards the trio like kunai, a blizzard of sharp crystal intent on overtaking those in its path. The streams of lightning that continued to flow throughout the room added to the persistent storm, flashes almost blinding and surging with power. In the center of it all was the boy, steps silent and body carried with great speed.


A gloved hand soon wrapped around the familiar handle, sharp blade removed from its scabbard. The rain of glass did not perturb him, it's presence nonexistent. All that remained were those that would soon fall.


As the reflective shards fell, it was as if the world became filled with mirrors. Each individual fragment carried his own image, filling the area. His body cascaded downward, surrounding those caught below. It appeared as though he was in multiple places at once, carrying out the same motion of drawing the blade as he closed in. Circling in an infinite loop, he was everywhere.


The sound of wires beginning to fill his ears, the weapon in hand was prepared to fly upon reaching its mark, extending to meet the flesh of all in attendance. It was set to coil around their bodies and sink sharp fangs into vital areas, quick and efficient. However, before that would happen, the presumed commander would meet his end, deadly steel closing in and soon to cut deep into his trachea, followed by the larynx. The vocal cords.


@White Masquerade @QuirkyAngel
 
Another ninja had appeared this time. This man wore what were essentially rags and seemed to give off the same strange feeling that the Jinchūriki girl had. Perhaps he was another of them? Maybe if he went berserk Nana would show up in fro-


No, no, no. He was getting to ahead of himself. Besides, even if the battle was over he still had to focus. With another newcomer he'd have to double his efforts to keep himself inconspicuous. If anything, he felt like getting some training in while the adrenaline was still flowing through his veins.


"Erm, right. I suppose I'll check the camp for any stragglers then." He seemed taken aback by the man's ferocious bloodlust. It served as a grim reminder for the stranger - even if he had to kill others to end the war he would never relish the thought of ending another life. His resolve was simple - a peaceful life with that girl.


He passed Han, recognizing her as one of Chiaki's friends and left the medical nin tent. Roku took a deep breath as he felt the chakra pooling in each of his soles. The young man leapt forward and continued on a path over the battered structures of the refugee camp.


---


Snow dyed with the blood of the fallen and trees scarred by weaponry were all the Dollmaker could see. Countless footsteps had treaded through the forest surrounding the camp - each belonging to either a soldier or a ninja. Although, truth be told, most of the corpses belonged to the soldiers who seemed to hold no talent for chakra.


The old man continued towards the refugee camp, spurned on by his own hidden ambitions. He pursed his shadowed lips as he carefully pressed a bandage around his hands back into place. Given the general atmosphere, perhaps his visit could help the camp heal.


And perhaps the gears he had so carefully crafted would begin to turn...
 
Chiaki

Chiaki was startled when he felt a hand pat his back and turned around, directing his gaze up towards a tall, turban-wearing stranger. For some reason, the new shinobi sounded somewhat familiar to Chiaki though he did not recognize the man. “No, I’m—,”


However, the shinobi had already turned away and, upon seeing Shirokko-san’s state, began screaming at the doctor by her bed. Chiaki’s eyes widened in recognition. “Ryuu-san?”


Chiaki hadn’t seen Ryuu since the first mission when Kenji-san had ordered the four-tailed jinjuriki to stay behind.


He’s certainly changed a lot physically. Though his personality has not changed much.


Chiaki frowned when Han-san revealed the name of Shirokko-san’s attacker to Ryuu-san. The four tailed jinjurki leaving the camp to hunt for a missing-nin was not something they needed now—especially since their war with Kakureyami had just started. Sozoshi had managed to critically wound Shirokko-san, which meant she was strong. Chiaki didn’t know how strong Ryuu-kun had gotten, but picking a fight with a missing-nin who could critically injure Shirokko-san was not wise.


On the bright side, Han-san finally called Shirokko-san by her name.


“I don’t think going after Sozoshi is a good idea. She—,”


Bang!


Chiaki blinked when a bruised and battered man was slammed on the infirmary floor. Kenji-san glared at them all before giving them an order and disappearing. Then Roku-kun left as well. Chiaki glanced down at the body of the tortured soldier. Many feelings passed through Chiaki as he watched another human moan on the floor, broken. However, the most prominent feeling was guilt.


It’s my fault. I was the one that brought them here to be tortured.


Chiaki didn’t blame Kenji-san for doing what he did. Their leader was simply doing what he had to protect the camp. Information was vital to winning the war, after all. Chiaki closed his eyes.


I should have killed them like my comrades did. It would have given them an honorable death.


There wasn’t enough supplies in the camp to house so many prisoners, least of all enemy soldiers. Chiaki knew that and yet he had spared their lives anyway. He should have known how Kenji-san would interrogate the enemy. He should have known…yet knowing was different than seeing for himself.


Perhaps I shouldn't have told Kenji-san about them.


However, to do such a thing would be betraying his comrades. If the soldiers had woken they would have returned to Kumo Castle and strengthened the enemy. In the end, everything that happened was because Chiaki had been reluctant to kill. He had burned Kenji-san with his own folly. He was the reason that the soldier on the ground was suffering. Sumire’s words floated in the back of his mind.


“You have no idea how HORRIBLE a life shinobi live, Chiaki-kun. You aren’t suited to being a shinobi—especially during a time like this when the shinobi world is fading. Why can’t you want to be a merchant? It’s a very respectable career. Think of all the MONEY you could make!”


Slowly, Chiaki opened his eyes and looked down at the result of his own inadequacy. Chiaki’s face was blank despite his inner turmoil. His emotions were chaotic, but none of them shone on his face. He saw that not a single nurse had taken a single step forward to help the man. However, Chiaki couldn’t blame them. This soldier likely killed their friends and families. He was the enemy. Chiaki had accepted the life of a shinobi. He would follow all orders given to him. Chiaki knew he had to take responsibility for his words and actions. He could no longer run away from things he didn’t like. That included killing.


But Kenji-san hadn’t ordered that the soldier be killed.


“What are you waiting for?” Chiaki asked the nurses, his voice taking on a rare authoritative tone. “If Kenji-san brought the soldier alive to the infirmary it means he wants him treated.”


Chiaki watched the startled nurses get to work, lifting the broken soldier onto the smallest bed. He didn’t know what Kenji-san planned on doing with the soldier. Nor did he know what kind of life the man would live in a shinobi-filled camp. Perhaps the man would kill himself--ask for his own death, just as the Battalion Commander had done. Or perhaps he would find the courage to live. Whichever the case, Chiaki was resolved to not look away. After all, the man was his responsibility.

Lily

“You missssunderstand, Kumo King,” Lily said, gazing at the man before her with disgust. She had right. He was still a rodent of a man. Even worst he was a rodent who thought himself superior to others. “I did not come to entertain you. I came to offer Eien no Yoru Palace’s ssssinceresssst apologiessss. Unfortunately, the girlssss you’ve assssked for had come down with a bad casssse of…,”


Lily paused as she tried to recall what sort of illness the ladies had come up with. She shrugged. It didn't really matter since it was probably fake anyway.


“They’ve become ill,” Lily corrected herself. “Therefore, I’ve come to return your money.”


Lily reached into the folds of her kimono and started to pull out a purse. That was when she had felt it. Powerful vibrations that foreshadowed an attack. Green scales appeared on all parts of her skin as she performed the full version of her Snake skin jutsu—not the partial one that she had used against the stupid soldier who insulted her snakes. Her eyes turned to slits as a bright light blinded the room.


It’s a good things snakes have poor eyesight.


Crash!


Sharp glass fell like rain towards them. Lily could easily avoid them with her flexible body. However, she doubted the stupid soldier and his rodent king could. Lily didn’t care what happened to them. However, there was something dishonorable about leaving a man, who couldn’t defend himself because of her poison, vulnerable to the assault of an assailant.


Besides, I haven’t given the Rodent his money back yet.


Therefore, Lily sent chakra up her umbrella, hardening the paper and used it to block the shards the flew at them. At the same time, she felt the vibrations of the assailant moving in for the kill. The sound of wires circled them, and Lily could hear the movement of each blade as it cut through the air.


This one is used to hunting.


Lily closed the umbrella just a one particular blade sailed through the air towards the Kumo King. Sending even more chakra to the umbrella, Lily swung like a batter, knocking the blade away.


“You should at leasssst wait until I give him back hissss money before you kill him,” Lily said. Her eyes returned to normal as she studied the assassin. He was a boy, who didn’t appear much older than Chiaki. However, unlike Chiaki, Lily could taste the blood on the boy. This boy was a killer. Likely a shinobi, since Lily knew there was a war going on between Shinobis and Kakureyami. However, none of that mattered to Lily. She only wanted to complete her job. “I like your sssstitchessss. They ressssemble ssssnakessss.”

Chanda

"Ha! see! they have Amanatto! What a score!!" She happily began to stuff the snacks in her face with one hand still holding huge plate of Dango in the other. She continued to swipe the other silly group of guards snacks. They were so useless, they made it too easy for her. She could take the others out with a few simple swipes, but she was more curious as to what else they had on them. She spent her time hopping around robbing the others in the confusion.


Hmm. Some coins, boring family photos, ooh! Candy too?! Hmmm, the guards...They seem to be paralyzed ooh lucky me! She continued to snatched their pouches as the man stood there paralyzed. She didn't even notice who was the reason for the guards sudden paralysis. She was just happy yo have more snacks. "Yeah more snacks! He he he." She flipped away from the guards and crouched down snacking on Amanatto with one hand and holding the plate in the other. She grinned, happy as a clam. A clam with tons of snacks.


Chanda sensed the lady coming closer to her. Her chains grew a little bit larger in size, due to the new presence, feh, pesky chains. The woman was strong, but she didn't think she posed a threat to her. As the woman continued to ask her a million questions, that made her chuckle. Aww how cute, I love how people are always asking all the wrong questions. She looked up at the old lady, her chains jingling as she turned her head, and smirked "wouldn't you like to know." She pulled out another Amanatto and popped it in her mouth, "yummy." She chewed, enjoying every moment and swallowed. She looked at the woman again, "do you have any snacks?"

A new enemy appears: Ren Moto


Inside kumo castle a figure with her hair pinned up in a pony tail walked down the stairs to the third floor. A blade bigger than he self scratched the floor as it was strapped to he back, leaving a trail of sparks and a scratch line going across the floor. She walked up to one of the guards who was now under genjutsu. "Useless now, useless things have no purpose being alive" she said and grabbed the guard by the collar of his armor and threw him through a glass window where he was greeted by a fall to his death. She heard voices on the floor and within seconds she sped past king Kumo and was then standing by Uzazab. "Enemies Located, Kill" she said unsheathing the large sword from off her back and pointing it towards her enemy waiting for the moment to make her move. Then the sudden shattering of glass startled her. She turned her head to see a man had just broken n through a window. Instead of paying attention to that man she focused on the ones in front of her. "You get that one" she said to Uzazab,


Ryuu Kato: Enraged


Ryuu was tense, he was ready to explode in anger. A doctor had finally walked up to him a began to heal him, but his wounds were healing on their own with a rapid rate. His eyes had turned completely yellow now and he had claws and more fang like teeth. He turned around hearing some one call his name and he calmed down. It was.... "Chiaki??" he said. Before he had time to listen to the advice Chiaki was going to give him he heard a loud bang. He turned around Hearing Kenji's voice seeing him throw a ninja on the floor of the infirmary. Only to brush him off even though he had a score to settle with him. He sighed seeing no doctor going to him. “If Kenji-san brought the soldier alive to the infirmary it means he wants him treated.” He heard Chiaki say. He walked up to the ninja laying there. He knelt down by him and took something out the bag on his back. he stuck a kunai in the ground in front of him and and the took out a small tub. "This is ointment for electricity burns, I do not know medical ninjutsu, So I can not heal you completely". He picked up the kunai. Ryuu picked up a kunai and fired it across the room between a bunch of nurses and doctors until it finally stuck into one of the polls keeping the tent up. On the closest doctors face a red line appeared across his nose and a small amount of blood came from it. "Maybe you didn't hear Chiaki correctly, Heal him, or next time I wont' miss" he said as his own wounds had finally become scars.
 
She would have glance at the sudden action around the medical tent,Roku exit earning her first bit attention settling on the fact that he wasn't couldn't be he seem to focus to be working on mere sound alone.The sound of the of the Dark soldier being thrown onto the ground along with Kenji orders she would only nod,though suddenly surprised at Chiaki tone at ordering these nurses to get moving. Deep inside it delighted Han to hear Chiaki showing his more masculine side,perhaps she adored this rare moment wishing she could capture it.However she had to reframe her self from merely acting onto her more violent desire to kill the Kage solider ,those who did act around her in kindness slightly confused her to some degree,why heal an care for those who wanted you dead.


As the nurses were being kicked into action ,than Ryuu attention into getting the Doctor involved next very with his kunai tossed was more than enough insurance to get them into action.Ryuu seem to have enough common sense to listen to Chiaki advice at not going off his handle an chasing after a likely long gone missing-nin ,suitable at least who knew what the commander Kenji would want them to do next .


Though it still confused her a bit at there sudden care about of there enemy who would have been more than happy ,to have had them all executed if there position was swapped around,turning to look at Chiaki as she spoke ,"Hey Chiaki what exactly the point of this ?,aren't these the guys who were going to slaughter all the people here...why waste our time on some one so determined to end our way of life. Why not just end him right here and now,its not like he a real fighter his intention were to harm those who can't defend themselves.So why Chiaki do you risk your own reputation on such low creatures exactly ?". tilting her head at him ,her eyes squinting at him her tone was inquisitive toward her companion.

Kenji Suzuki

"Yes!" In an uncharacteristic display of cheer, Kenji Suzuki bleated a rousing, "WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!" A hearty clap soon followed the lusty hurrah. "Rozu Arashi. The Blue Angel of Camp Kumo. You know that's what they call you now right?" The man looked down to his chest, laughing a bit. This much was true. Indeed the residents were calling her the "Blue Angel of Camp Kumo," despite killing a civilian, but he doubted the young kunoichi would accept it knowing what she did. It was an odd twist to things. The ones who had every right to be mad, had already doled out deep wells of understanding and forgiveness, while the one who had accidentally committed the sin, would probably punish herself till the end of time.


Would she...?


Kenji did not know. Maybe she wouldn't have. Maybe he was too hasty in having the memory buried. Maybe Rozu would've cried for a bit and gotten over it in a week or two. The doubt was coming harsh. It was those vacillations over the "what-if scenarios," that were always the worst. They ate at a man's soul. If left to sour in the ambiance of an indecisive mind, they wreaked havoc on uncertain conscience.


C'mon. Keep it together, Kenji. This whole thing has just started. Eyes straight ahead and no deviating from the path. The Kakureyami need to be stopped and that's all that matters. Get a move on. You did the best you could. You did what you thought was right. Now stop thinking about it and go! There is a revolution to start.


"Rozu." The connection of letters came out slenderly in weak note, but quickly bloomed into the timbre of a full grown man. "Rozu. I am glad to see you're up. You had us all worried for a bit back there. After taking out all the guards you collapsed to the floor, exhausted. I had a Yamanaka look you over, and he tells me your body was literally devoid of chakra. Listen...I'm not going to tell you to don't it again. You do what you have to do to protect your people. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. That concern you showed out there for the citizens of Kumo...I liked it. The whole camp liked it. Which brings me to what I want to tell you next."


In 3 steps, he was already towering above her. "I want you to be the 7th Raikage. Your people need a leader. My band needs an ally. We're gonna need the strength of your country to take back the ninja world. Listen, kid. If you want to protect your people, really give them a future, this is what you have to do. It'll be hard, yeah. But I'll find you help. I swear I will. I will back you with everything I've got."


He placed a hand on her shoulder.


"The world is in peril, Rozu. If you say yes, you will be that first step in establishing order. I know you can do it. Help me help everyone else. Rozu, what do you say? Will you take the position as leader of your home?"

Shinobu Otsutsuki

"Dammit... There has to be somewhere I can actually lay down and relax," Shinobu found herself saying as she wandered around in a small forest, not even sure where she was. That's when she stumbled upon a small refugee camp. Having an odd and large black scroll on her back that had green lining to it as well as designs in white on the outside, she leaped from her position and ran up the wooden wall of the camp, jumping right over the top and landing on the other side. Of course, she just had to pick the most easily noticeable spot to jump in from, getting her immediately noticed by those in the refugee camp. Clearly the ready-for-combat looks were directed at her, and she immediately realized that she was sort of barging into the place.


'Whoops...,' Shinobu thought, not in the best of predicaments here. She'd not only done what could be considered trespassing, but also did so in the worst spot, standing within a few feet of two ninja that were rather quick to assume things. "Ah... Hello...? Don't mind me, just... entering without permission," Shinobu said, mostly keeping calm. "Intruder!" One of the two shouted, the other suddenly rushing at her with kunai in hand, though Shinobu immediately started leaping back as the guy swiped at her. Two ninja were attacking her, her currently doing a job of dodging as best as she could. She was backed into the wooden wall around the camp quite fast, so she decided to run right up it and back outside the wall, of course the ninja following her.


"I'm not much for this kind of situation, but I guess a little practice won't hurt," Shinobu said as one of them ran straight at her again, though instead of backing up, she jumped up and landed on his back, pushing off from him and leaping at the other. "Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance!" She said after forming her hand seals, exhaling the flammable gas and covering the area around Shinobu and the two ninja. That wasn't all she had though; Shinobu had activated her Tenseigan as well, seeing as she hadn't had much practice using her eyes on anything but rocks. "Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!" Once more, she exhaled a flammable substance, but this time it was a cloud of ash that was now mixing with the flammable gas. After having mixed the two flammable substances, she used her repulsion ability to clear out an area within the ash and gas.


Shinobu and the two ninja were now in a clear area that had no ash or gas, but around them was a dome of the two highly flammable materials, which was actually quite thick of a layer. Just running through the substance wasn't very good of an idea, considering the ash would probably enter the person's system, as well as the gas would follow with the ash and thus turn a person into a living explosive that just needed to be lit on fire. Fire style would be completely out of the question for the inhaler as well because of the fact they'd blow themselves up. The two ninja rushed Shinobu, one in front of the other. Pulling the ninja in the back in however, she caused the two to collide and fly right up to her, where she then punched the front ninja in the stomach and sent both flying upon a second use of her repulsion.


The two flying at the gas and ash dome, Shinobu formed some hand seals again and cast another jutsu. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" She sent the fireball right at the two ninja, the flame hitting them and pushing them all the way past the dome, of course the gas and ash igniting as they went through. They were left a bit burnt, but not dead or with any real chance of death. A good few trees caught on fire too, though they were just far enough from the camp to avoid the wall getting caught in the flames. "Whoops... Hey, any water release users around?" Shinobu asked out loud. "Oh, a medical ninja would also be appreciated!" She walked over to the two she'd just fought, kneeling down next to them. "Sorry for the burns, but you attacked me. Next time, let me explain why I'm here... Which is to take residence in the nearest bed, by the way."

The Lightning Rose



​



Rozu blinks at the display of good cheer; the usually cynical and reserved woman crooking an eyebrow up at his whoops and cheering. She stays quiet as he continues on- and her face... is not that of a sixteen year old girl. Not really. Oh, it has the youthful rounded curves in places, and her body is only slightly too big for her age... but her face. Her silver hair makes her seem older than she really is- wispy threads of silvery and shiny hair framing a lightly tanned, and heavily scarred face. Her missing nose accentuates the painful life she must have led to arrive here, today- as the woman she is. But above all- it is her emerald green eyes, shining faintly in the darkness of the tent, that mark her as different from how a girl her age should be. They are old and weary- with a world weary tiredness and age that is far beyond what she should have. She's experienced more than some adults would ever have in a time of peace- her entire life a long, slow, period of nigh constant warfare and battle. Those old eyes watch silently, as the man rambles on and on. She takes it all in silently, and ponders it for a long moment of tense silence, her eyes seeming to weigh and judge his intent as they stare into him... before she speaks.


"Your asking a Soldier. A Chuunin, in fact... to become the Raikage?" She asks- her voice having regained it's usual solemnity in her long moment of intropsection. She seems to be weighing his words and her own at once as she speaks, hunching herself forwards as she crosses her legs in an almost meditive posture, and places a hand on each of her knees, staring at him intently as she gives her words- the sheer ludicrousness of his proposal at the most basic level.


"A woman who knows nothing but how to kill, how to fight..? I'm a fine Shinobi, I'll grant... but the leader of a village..?" She trails of, pausing again and frowning as she lets his words sink in a little more, a thoughtful scowl on her lips. "It won't be easy, you know. This camp is the heart of whats left of Kumo, but there are other fragments. Other Shinobi of my home, who might think themselves more well suited. Better for the job. I'll have to figure out what to do about 'em. The people of this camp might be behind me, but fifty people is not the sum total of Kumogakure." She frowns, there.. before sighing.


"But your right. You need help, and we need order. But understand this. I'm not the Raikage, unless the people of my homeland say I am. I can ask them if they will accept me as their leader; but I cannot merely claim the title. I know not how they do these things in Konoha, where you are from- but the Ego's of the remaining Shinobi are likely hardened by battle. Survivor's do not kneel easily. I will have to gather them all... one by one or in groups.." She trails of, sighing.


"I don't think I can do it. But I know I have to, so I'll try. I don't suppose that's enough for you, Kenshi?" She inquires in a soft, dry voice- her tone harsh and judgemental the entire discussion as she, ironically, seems to exude a certain authority and weight of opinion despite her words about being unsuited for command.

Kurontishiosapiyanaba Askiwundatakaeyanebi
  • Kumo Castle: 3rd Floor


The King of Kumo fell to his knees; brain barely being able to take it all in.


"W-W-WAHHHHHH!"


Sinking into the fetal position, tears rolled down his face to the cleft of his chin. It was all a shock. First, the most beautiful woman he had seen in his life, was hissing for him...and the next moment, there was a loud crash with glass flying everywhere. Before he knew it, a long rope lined with jagged edges glinted in the moonlight; quickly moving on its way to sever him whole. That was until...that was until...


"LILY!"


The man shouted in agony, slipping and slopping his way up to full height.


"LIIIIILLLLYYYYYYY," he bawled. "They can be sick! I don't care! I only want you! You saved me! W-WAHHHHHH!" The sobbing lord inched his way closer and closer to her form. Forcefully pushing aside the Kakureyami soldier controlled by her mind-numbing toxins, Kuro wrapped two arms around her midsection, bawling like a baby into the mid of her back. "LI-LI-LIIIILLYYYYY!" King Kuro was truly afraid. This was the first time ever, he had experienced an attempt on his life. It was terrifying.


@Kanra23


3rd Floor Soldiers: 6 + 1 (From the first floor/Lily is controlling)


4th Floor Soldiers: 20








Escape!
King Kumo has escaped! He almost died...that was a close one! Whew! However, Ren Moto and over 20 Kakureyami guards are still left in the castle.

​



 
Chiaki

Because he’s not a lowly creature. Because he’s a human like us.


However, Chiaki did not say his thoughts aloud. They were at war. To raise doubt within the camp at a time like this was counterproductive to their goals of reviving the shinobi nations.


“You don’t have to worry, Han-san.” Chiaki said, flicking a steady gaze towards Han. “I’m only doing what I believe to be appropriate as a shinobi, given the situation. I have no idea what Kenji-san’s intentions are by bringing the interrogated soldier to the medical hut. Perhaps the soldier has more information that could be useful? Or perhaps Kenji-san had promised the soldier treatment in return for information that the soldier had given him.”


Chiaki shrugged. “Either way, his fate is not for me to decide. If Kenji-san orders his death then I will abide by the camp leader’s decision. For now, I simply made an assumption based on the circumstances. However, if that soldier proves to be a threat to you, the people of this camp, or our way of life, I will kill him myself. If my reputation becomes tarnished because I’m performing my duties as a shinobi of this camp then so be it. ”


That’s right. I chose this way of life. There’s no turning back.


A playful light entered Chiaki’s eyes. “Besides, I’m still only a chunin and don’t even have a title to write in a bingo book. Compared to the Blue Angel of Camp Kumo, I don’t have much of a reputation to lose.”


Chiaki turned away from Han to watch the doctor with a newly formed line across his nose, apply Ryuu-san’s ointment on the injured Kakureyami soldier while another medic-nin performed the mystic palm technique. It would seem Ryuu-san’s threat had been very effective.


I was wrong. His personality has become even harsher than it was 6 months ago.


Threatening a doctor wasn’t something the pink haired boy thought Ryuu-san would do 6 months ago. That was more Kenji-san’s style. Chiaki smiled at the irony of his comparison.


“Kenji-san said we have four hours before we meet outside his hut.” Chiaki spoke to both Han and Ryuu. “So would either of you—,”


One of the camp’s patrols burst into the medical hut.


“Several of our shinobis are injured! We need backup! Preferably medic-nin and water jutsu users!”


Well…there goes relaxing in his hut with a cup of herbal tea while catching up with old friends.


“Please explain.”


“I was patrolling the perimeter for any remaining Kakureyami soldiers when I saw several trees on fire!”


Chiaki frowned. The camp would be in trouble if a forest fire started. Kumo camp was surrounded by trees in every direction. The forest acted as a natural barrier to protect the camp, but it was also a liability in a way. Had the Kumo King finally started exploiting the camp’s weakness?


“Is it Kakureyami soldiers?”


“I don’t know,” the patrol replied. “I only saw one woman. And she was the one calling for water release user and medic ninjas,.”


“…I’ll go check out the situation. Han-san, your help would be appreciated in containing the fire.” Chiaki performed a couple of hand signs. Moments later, the pink haired boy disappeared in a cloud of mist.


@Kanra23


***


Chiaki reappeared at the entrance of the camp. It wasn’t difficult to find where the woman was. All he had to do was follow the fire…and she didn’t seem to be hiding. She was around his height, perhaps a bit shorter, with auburn hair, pupil-less eyes, and a black scroll on her back. Chiaki assessed the situation, his eyes flickering from the flaming trees to the girl kneeling by the burnt shinobis.


Slowly, Chiaki straddled his shamisen and strummed the three-stringed instrument with his plectrum, playing a tranquil song that he had become quite familiar with. “Shamisen art: Revitalizing rhapsody.”


Instantly, the bodies of the injured shinobis began to glow, wrapped in a green aura as the burns on their skin began to heal.


I’m getting better at this.


Healing internal injuries was still beyond the capabilities of his jutsu.


Maybe I should ask Kiyomi-san to teach me the mystical palm technique once she gets back.


Chiaki knelt beside the unknown girl. “I apologize for the inconvenience, but do you mind helping me carry our shinobi back to the medical hut? Our medic ninjas…are a bit preoccupied at the moment.”


@Kiyoko Tomoe
 
Hanbungetsu would blink at the boys response,it sorta made sense to her Kenji wouldn't have brought the man here if he didn't have the intention of allowing the man to get some attention from the staff here. Maybe indeed she reason this man might just be worth saving after after all ,though she didn't like it to much though Chiaki steady gaze gave her a slight push to simple accept his words .


Chiaki accepting the risk of being shunned somewhat surprised her ,the boy didn't seem to be one to be a outsider as she had become part of the camp.shaking her head giving him a jagged tooth grin she thought he to much of angelic boy for anyone to actually shun him.Though his rather playful remark about the bingo book made her grin grow abit,she would hate to to see his master face if the boy indeed found his way into the ninja bingo books.


Though suddenly the appearance of the Patrol ninja an receiving his report of attacker outside of the camp ,an the word of fire along with Chiaki orders to deal with the fire .Were the heck did this Chiaki version lurk in the pink hair body she didn't know but she didn't refusing his order bound out of the medical hut .Racing out of the camp not having exactly the ability of her co-hort to seemingly vanish an appear.


*Outside Of Camp*


Han had made it outside of camp passing Chiaki and the Stranger,only giving the girl a glance yelling at Chiaki ,"I hope tea come after all this fighting an skirmishing ,or you could treat me to a meal ".Stopping now on the outskirts of the woods,doing hands signs .Before she began spewing water from her mouth ,once finishing her hand motions to expand the water with her chakra as a sizable wave launched it self through the burning or charred woods .Exhausting the flames along with damping the woods to drop the chance of any flying ember or smaller debris that might have been taken up by the wind.


She would consider her comment about eating during onc more a crisis on hand,clicking her tongue to some degree that she won't ever get her Chiaki time.She would tilt her head in thought as she turn back to the other bounding over to them,the water now not being fed by her the wave would slowly die down.Getting over to Chiaki an the female after a moment,calling out as she got over there,"Hey stranger sorry for the mix up,we just were attack so the guards were on guard".she had all the intention on trying to wrap this up ASAP ,just from the forest fire it made it seem this girl wasn't part of the invasion force from the Dark Kage.So by all means this was likely the guards fault to being nearly turn into BBQ embarrassing she thought.
 
"It's no inconvenience at all," Shinobu said as she kneeled next to one of them, noticing how this one just plain was sleeping rather than beaten unconscious. "I don't think they have any kind of internal injury, but still better safe than sorry. It was a lot of gas and ash, so they may have inhaled some and gotten light burns inside. Either way though, they shouldn't have any permanent damage, nor that bad of injury." As she stood up, she noticed the person who cleared out the fire and then came over to apologize for the jumpiness of the two guards. She blinked twice, then finally realized what was being said. Shinobu, the one who had burned the two, was the one being apologized to?


"Ah, it's fine. I'm the one who should apologize, since I burned them up a bit. I was probably a little harsh on them though, using Mist Blaze Dance and Ash Pile Burning together on top of a powerful fire release jutsu... Maybe I could've gone without one of those first two jutsu, plus the repulsion and attraction..." Shinobu said, scratching her head with her free hand as she quite well realized how much she'd gone overboard. "Now then, this is the fastest way I know to get them inside." Shinobu stood there for a second or two before activating her Tenseigan once more. She then proceeded to create three water clones using water that had been left on the trees and ground when Han put out the fire.


While Shinobu moved over to by the head of one of the ninja and propped their body on her hands, one water clone ran on up and over the wall of the camp, taking position inside. The other two positioned themselves a few feet from the wall but still outside, one stepping on the others hands and getting launched upside-down in the air. "Aand... all set." Shinobu said before sending the man flying at a small angle towards the first water clone that remained on the ground. When the person got into the perfect spot, the water clone then launched them up to the mid-air water clone, followed by the mid-air clone launching them over to the third clone inside, which proceeded to use a light repulsion to break their fall as they then landed on the clone.


"Water clones and their 1/10th strength come in handy... If those clones were at my full strength, that wouldn't have worked very well at the last part, since rather than suspending him for a moment with a weak repulsion, it would've bounced him off and crashed him into the ground." Shinobu stood up, the clone on the ground outside the wall staying crouched and ready for the next, the mid-air clone landing and then getting ready to launch into the air again. Shinobu got behind the other ninja, repeating the process after creating yet another water clone to take place of the one inside the gate which was occupied with the first ninja.


After repeating the process to get the second ninja inside, the two clones outside went inside the camp so that there would be two water clones per person being carried. "Whew... That's a tiring process, believe it or not..." Shinobu said, sighing as she had safely transported the ninja inside and had the four water clones already there at the medical hut. Once done transporting the two in, the clones went outside and turned right into water. "Now then, where's the nearest bed? Being on a foreign spherical body, even after a year, leaves one constantly tired of figuring out where they're at..." Shinobu said while looking at Han and Chiaki, Tenseigan still active but ready to fade, similarly to how she was ready to pass out and get some sleep.

Chiaki

Chiaki silently watched the unknown girl send his injured comrades flying one by one over the wall with a clever use of water clones and an unknown ability. She had called it repulsion. Chiaki would have thought it was a wind release jutsu that sent his comrades flying…except there was no wind. It was as if a force pushed their bodies forward in a straight line. Chiaki didn’t know anything about the ability. However, he could feel the power coming Shinobu’s eyes as she used the technique and noticed the change in hue.


A doujutsu?


Chiaki had asked for her help because he hadn’t wanted to waste chakra carrying the shinobis back to camp with his own water clones when the perpetrator behind the forest fire might have been nearby. However, it would appear that he needn’t bother. The unknown girl was the one who injured his comrades and started the fire. Chiaki would have been wary of her, as he was with Sozoshi, except she hadn’t run away and hadn’t tried to hide the fact that she had attacked them.


If she was truly an enemy, she wouldn’t have called for help and she wouldn’t have stayed behind to check on the condition of my comrades. Nor would she tire herself out by using such a complicated process when I only asked her to help me carry my comrades inside.


Chiaki wasn’t a medic-nin so he had no idea if the injuries were serious, but he trusted the girl’s words when she said there probably won’t be any permanent damage.


“Thank you for your help,” Chiaki said. He had no idea what the foreign spherical body she spoke of was, but he didn’t bother to ask because he figured knowing would cause more hassle than it was worth. “You are welcome to come rest at my hut, but only for the time being. Even if this is a refugee camp for shinobis, a battle had recently taken place with the Kumo King’s soldiers so many of the people here are wary of strangers, as Han-san explained. If you wish to stay for a longer duration you’ll have to speak to our camp leader, Kenji-san, and go through the proper inspection procedures.”


Chiaki studied the girl who looked rather weary and seemed to have traveled quite a distance. “Are you hungry?”


He glanced at Han-san and smiled. “I already owe Han-san a meal for putting out the fire so making something for another person would be no trouble.”


Perhaps I should invite Ryuu-san and Roku-kun as well.


"I'm Chiaki Yoshinawa." Chiaki introduced as he led the unknown shinobi into Kumo camp. "The one who put out the fire is my friend, Hanbungetsu Hozuki."

The Prisoner Has Escaped: Haruto Uchiha


A loud boom began to shake the walls of Kumo castle. Shouting followed by the sound of fighting soon shook the castle dungeons. A solider rushed into the dungeon carrying long chains. He ran into the only Prison cell containing a prisoner. The prisoner had a smile on his face as he was pinned against the wall. "It looks like this is your lucky day, your execution has been moved forward to today". The prisoner did not respond, he just hung there smiling. The guard undid the shackles that pinned him to the wall and put the new shackles on him and began to drag him by a long chain. "..." The prisoner made a noise. "Huh, What was that prisoner?!?" The guard said. "... Your right this is my lucky day, and never use metal chains on a lightning user" he said as the chain lit up with a bright blue electrical current. The guards brain was instantly fried. The prisoner walked over to the gaurd and took his keys, undoing his own chains. "The name is Haruto by the way, and I'm not your prisoner any longer" he said as he began to ascend the hidden stairwell that led from the fourth floor to the dungeon.


As Haruto got to the top floor he notived that he could not sense King Kumo's presence in the building. He smiled thinking that the man died. As he opened up the door to the top floor the were 20 or more guards waiting for him. "Well... How are you guys?" he asked as they began to charge at him. "Guess not..." he said as he smiled. "Fire release" he said as he formed a seals and flames began to flow steadily from his mouth burning those who were trying to attack him.


He stepped down on the last soldiers throat breaking it in a slight movement of his foot. He Walked down the stairs to the third floor. He sighed opening up the door to sense that there was still some kind of battle going on. He waited to know the outcome of the battle before making his own move.


3rd floor: 6 soldiers left (all under cat genjutsu)

The clack of metal filled his ears as the sword reconnected, the previous attack having been deflected. A woman's voice would soon replace this sound, the one responsible for the blade failing to hit its mark. 'Money?'


Through her words, it seemed as though the woman was not associated with the enemy forces. The death of the man was not something she objected to, provided that what she owed had been properly returned. With that sentence alone, Kouki had come to the conclusion that she was not aligned with Kakureyami, eliminating her as a target meant for assassination.


Once again, she would speak, calling attention to the visible lines that slithered along his exposed fingers. "Really?" He had never given much thought to the appearance of the stitches, only now closely eyeing them with orbs of red that remained concealed by the protective barrier surrounding his head. They were only ever a means to repair the damage done to him, the individuals that inflicted the myriad of wounds and treated them being one in the same. Although, it could hardly have been considered a treatment.


When it felt as though his limbs would tear from his body, skin ripping apart and falling like shreds of a worn cloth, the needle and thread would keep him intact. The thought of waiting to recover was foreign, a mere waste of time. They were only meant to keep him from breaking, akin to repairing a treasured item with tape, pieces loosely kept together. Soon, he would be unable to feel the entry into his flesh, along with all other painful sensations.


As he continued to observe the markings along his body, wails soon pierced the previous silence. Currently wrapping around the woman in a similar manner to the previously mentioned reptiles was the man who was meant to perish, clear drops falling down to his cheeks as he cried out. However, it did not appear to be in agony, a single scratch yet to be seen on his form.


Watching as the man clung to the other stranger in search of security, the brief distraction had come to an end, Kouki's attention fully returning to where it had once been. "That's no good, Onee-San." As the somewhat muffled voice formed words, the soldier that had been pushed aside neared its owner. In a flash, steel soon tucked underneath the helmet shared between the two, red falling like the tears that met the surface beneath the self-proclaimed king.


When the blade was removed, the crimson drops continued to fall, a body following suit. Each step that brought him closer to the dark-haired man was met with another stain to mark the floor, the sounds from the resulting impact taking place of the ones that would not come about from his silent movements. Soon, he would stop, the weapon at his side hovering over its human sheath, transparent tears now tainted by scarlet as the blood of one target marred the face of the next. "He needs to die."


Before he could bring an end to the blend of fear and sadness, the would-be executioner's ears perked at a voice from across the hallway, followed by the fury of raging rapids. Without needing to look elsewhere, the sword within Kouki's grasp quickly changed position, blade now directed upwards.


Once again, the weapon would be split, wire traveling towards the ceiling. Rather than the king, metal sank into wood, the sound of reeling soon to follow. Before the attack could reach its mark, the boy had been pulled along with the rest of the sword, left to hover as the jet of water traveled beyond the space he once occupied. As his body swayed, the assailant would make their escape, shouting companion in hand.


Dropping to the floor, Kouki approached the shattered window, the one responsible for its state of disrepair nowhere to be seen. Soon, his gaze would shift from the view of mountains to the woman responsible for the recent failure. "You shouldn't have done that, Onees-San."


Before the young man could say anything more on her interference, the event would soon leave his mind as he finally took note of the green scales that took the place of pale flesh. Running a single finger along the viridescent arm, he could feel the smooth texture that contrasted its scaled appearance. The finger would continue along the appendage, reaching the woman's shoulder and soon her face.


With an open palm, he gently stroked her cheek, as if it were a person caressing their lover, assuring them that all would be fine in times of distress. With thumb lightly pressed against the cheekbone and the rest of his hand reaching behind the ear, Kouki stared into the odd, narrow slit that took the place of an iris, coming as close as he could. Pure white would slightly obstruct his vision, replacing the dark space within the helmet that fell to the floor, exposed ruby now meeting with emerald gems. When the tip of his nose would feel the cool, refreshing surface, he examined her body, curiosity within the boy closing the gap between them and his interest taking hold.


"Onee-san, your body..." His voice was low, yet louder than a whisper. His face remained blank, yet held a certain intensity that only surfaced in times such as these. Only when he wanted his desire satisfied after having it build within, rising in an instant when it had been previously nonexistent. When he desired, nothing else remained in this world, only he and the object of said desire.


"How did you do that?" The desire for knowledge was one that never seemed to end, more passionate than any other, despite his neutral disposition. "Show me."

Eien no Yoru Palace

In a Private Booth (Ja Jankin & Machi Uchiha)

The woman dotted her lips with the corner of her napkin, leaning into the shoulder of the man that sat beside her. The food at Ein no Yoru, was good. The best she had ever tasted. If she wasn't so comfortable, she would have gotten up and requested to give compliments to the owner herself.


"It was a mess. They invaded like flies. They came right in under the cover of dark."


Ja grunted, clasping his fingers together on the table in front. "So Kuro is dead and the castle has fallen?" The bomber kept cool, but deep down, felt a bit distressed. He knew the place wasn't very well guarded. Hell, the guy in charge was an idiot, but still, it was taken over. The enemy had scored a victory and they would no doubt feel empowered by it. The Kakureyami were going to win; that much was a fact. But the plan was to do it overwhelmingly. This victory would detract from the overall feel of the operation. This was something Ja could not allow.


"You didn't try to stop them?"


The woman whined, squeezing out a hollow, "no. None of my business. I don't like Kuro." Ja barked with laughter. This much was true. If not for him, she would have killed him the first time he opened his mouth to her.


"I did see a few interesting people though."


"Oh yeah? Like who?"


"Haha. You won't believe it. Three jinchuriki." Machi could feel Ja shift, and she began to laugh once more. "I know. One of them looked especially interesting. If you let me --."


A sigh.


"No, Machi. There's something else you have to do." At this Machi smiled. Yeah, there was something else she had to do, but the reason he was so quick to deny the request was because he didn't want to see her getting hurt. "Ah! I understand, then. Well, before I go. Let me tell you who else I saw. My cousin and long-lost half-sister." She pushed her face into his arm.


"It was like a family re-union."
 
Camp Kumo

Hanbungetsu would have felt fairly content at Chiaki accepting her demand for a meal,she knew this atleast ensured she could crash at his hut .She like this aspect immensely a warm meal cooked by some you liked,Couldn't get better though she knew better than image it just be the two of them know that the stranger was coming along.Though she didn't mind because this was war after all the conquest of Chiaki could come after that,all she would have to do is make sure her investment stay safe til then.


She however note the stranger ability while she had launched the guards clear up an over the wall,with unseen force she had some inkling it had to do with dojutsu of the hyuga clan Byakugan .As she knew this because of one of the late 5th Mizukage body guard had somehow stole one of the clan eye,as she recall Ao was his name .The girls pupil lacking eyes gave Han that much information ,She would leave this mental note in her head .As she began to follow after Chiaki choosing to reply after his introduction of her . "Nice to meet you ,what do you go by might i ask your eyes remind me of a Hyuga" she felt it was a casul question if not a blond to most from the Leaf Village.


Though refocusing on Chiaki ,"Hey what you think Kenji wants,you think he'll be sending us off to liberate the Kirigakure? I mean the land of Kumogakure has been seen to,They even got a kage now an everything can't help but say i don't want the Kiri to lag behind these people. An with a majority of the other village like the Konoha an Suna all but ruined by the fighting i reason that its the Kiri time to shine an lead the ninja world into a era . Though it can't be helped if we seize some lands from the other villages for our effort after this war,as payment or perhaps maybe demand they return any stray seven blades an our two native tail beast ". Han thought that the latter ideas would work better than attempting to steal land from the already broken world they lived in,though it was perhaps her inner Kirigakure pride speaking its mind she rolled her shoulder a bit shifting the weight of Hiramekarei on her back.

Chanda

Kumo Castle

She sensed something, she sniffed the air and out of nowhere it was near her. Then a little snack appeared and flung one of the guards right out the window. She's so tiny! She looks delicious. Chanda began to drool a little as she sniffed the girl she smelled like some interesting and tasty bread. She didn't even pay attention to the sharp sword pointed in her direction, she was too preoccupied at how much this girl resembled food. She popped another Amatto in her mouth, as another person came jumping through the window, "Oooooo drama!" She looked onward excited, she wanted to fight, but also wanted to see what made that tiny snack smell so good.


She watched as some prole fly through the third floor making a huge mess! She pouted a little so not fair! I wanna make trouble too! Why am I always the calm and collected one? She shook her head in exasperation, some people just can't seem to conto themselves. Unlike me I am a cool pickle. Yummmy pickled plums.... I could totally go for some of those. Her stomach growled as she thought about some tasty pickled plums. She glanced at the good smelling girl. She kinda lookes like one... I wonder... she licked her lips maliciously.


She looked at the cute little thing and right then decided to take her. Even though they were retreating Chanda got what she wanted, no matter what. Without a single sign of warning Chanda moved at unseeable speed and hit every pressure point on Ren. She caught the girl as she fell limp and smiled. "Lucky!! I have a special snack!" She hoisted the girl onto her shoulder and grinned happily. She looked back at the others and smiled, "I'm taking this snack! And guys... Don't die!" She ran past the others and dropped a fire bomb before she lept out one of the many holes in the third floor the bomb exploding as she made her way across the terrain and back into the forest.


(music)"I've got a lovely bunch, of lovely, lovely snack! All sitting right here on my plate! Amatto, dango, some hard candy too! And a little girl who smells delicious too!"(music)

Kumo Castle

Tsukiko had stayed behind, watching from a distance. The other idiots, and the one boy seemed to have everything under control so she left it to them. She really hadn't felt like wasting her time, or her energy. Rolling her eyes she turned, and with a heavy sigh departed from the Tower. She'd been on the third floor and jumped into a tree before dropping down to the ground, landing in front of a startled Uchiha. She smirked.


Kiyomi gasped, taking a step back to regain her balance, her hand over her heart. "O-oh my...!" she gasped out, blinking a few times. The raven haired girl had sensed the other nearby, but she hadn't been expecting her to drop out of nowhere.


Coughing slightly, Kiyomi smiled, though it was a bit weak. "Y-you're...Tsukiko-san correct?" she asked.


Tsukiko nodded with a small chuckle. "Are you heading back to the camp?" she asked quietly and the older girl replied with a small smile of agreement. "I'll accompany you." the jinchuuriki added, remembering seeing the girls father try to keep her at home.


Kiyomi chuckled awkwardly, scratching her arm, knowing what the younger girl was thinking. "Ahahah....yeah thanks." she smiled. "I'd rather not deal with him yelling at me even more. Are you hurt at all? I could heal it if you are." she offered.


Tsukiko shook her head. "No, I'm fine thank you." she said politely, gaining a smile from the elder of the two. "We should go. You can run correct?"


"Yes, I want to head to the hospital, see if anyone needs help."


With that said the two took off.




Camp Kumo

As soon as the two stepped foot back in camp, Kiyomi thanked Tsukiko who nodded in return and disappeared. With a small smile in the direction Tsukiko had disappeared in. With a sigh, the Uchiha turned on her heel and started towards the hospital, biting her lip. She was wondering if anyone was severely injured. She honestly hoped not, but if there was anybody, hopefully she'd be able to help.


Quickly entering the hospital, she glanced around, wondering if she'd recognize anyone. Biting her lip, she relaxed slightly when she saw none of her friends. Walking towards the back where she saw a doctor in the process of healing a soldier, she saw someone she didn't recognize. He was standing there, seemingly overseeing the doctor, and he seemed a bit angry.


She frowned, wondering why. She hoped nothing new was happening, or people were getting into fights. The camp couldn't really afford this right now.


Coughing lightly as she stepped up next to him, she alerted him of her presence. "I'm here to help, if I can." she began. "I'm Kiyomi Uchiha, a medic-nin, is there anyone here that needs to be healed immediately?" she asked.
