((OOC: Just a heads up, i had changed the look of my character. He is still an uchiha, just different appearance for him.))


Riyoshi was now behind the group a fair distance as the others chose to jump through the trees, and this made Riyoshi think of the ultimate plan. Picking his running up into a full sprint, Riyoshi was catching the group. Putting his hands up and forming a hand seal, Riyoshi closed his eyes for a second before opening them to reveal the sharingan. Looking over, he could see faint outlines of chakra. With a smile upon his face, Riyoshi decided to leap into the trees and join in the group. As he was leaping from tree to tree, Riyoshi was not going to be easily seen by Aime or Neji, since they seemed to be focused upon each other......once again. As he had gotten closer, he witnessed Neji speed up and leap over Aime and soon turned his back towards the trees to face Aime, his smile had grown a little more sinister as he was gaining ground at a phenomenal pace and as soon as Neji finished talking, Riyoshi body checked Neji so hard, there was almost a cracking noise coming from the two of them slamming into each other.


Landing upon the branch of a tree just under the impact zone, Riyoshi quickly planted his right foot and pressed off in the opposing direction to send him once again traveling in the correct direction. Riyoshi took in some deep breaths before he proceeded to slow his pace down and leap to the ground. The smile upon his face was still present and he was almost laughing at the situation.


"This is why we keep our eyes on the road ahead of us and not act googly eyed at the people behind us." Riyoshi spoke out to Neji.


((Oh and Tim. Go ahead and let the body check hit you. You do not have to take any damage, just play along for a bit. xD I have a plan for Riyoshi and yourself.))

'Of course they made this into a life threatening competition' Yuka thought to herself miserably as she continued to hop from tree to tree. She was almost tempted to yell at them, telling the she would be last place, but that would be a buzz kill wouldn't it? Plus it might be a little funny to see Riyoshi loose footing and fall to yet another bed ridding injury. Yuka awaited to Neji's reaction he'd probably go all hot headed and mindlessly race his cousin, relative rivalry she guessed. Especially noting that Riyoshi interrupted his little fantasy. She let out one last sigh and increased her pace slightly, she might aswell not be last.

 

[Kaine]

From no where Riyoshi come up and checked Neji, her rival of sorts in this race into a tree. What was this crap about everyone being worried about getting hurt. Silently she used a little more energy to jump higher and out of the trees, away from the other too.


She could hear Riyoshi talking and finally saw him as he regained his foot on the ground. Sailing through the air, she shifted her direction and for a moment, only a split fraction of a second, her aura changed to something ferociously dark and domineering. Something that was man hating and extremely competitive. Aime’s eyes covered slightly by her bangs, where covered in dark and only her sockets suddenly shone like Demons with razor like teeth.


BAM!!!!


Her fist connected with the back of Riyoshi’s skull with fierce determination and male dominating force.


“BAAAAAAAAKA!!!!”


As the temporarily dazed the ninja, making him face plant the ground; she turned to Yuka with a strange expression and fist pumped the air like she had somehow proved herself or won something. Taking a finger, she put it under her eye and pulled it down, sticking out her tongue and making obscene noises at the slow poke, and putting a large L on her forehead.


Just as quickly she took off in a ninja run, full speed, and the cackle that came from her was terrifying, almost like a witch as she ran off ahead of everyone else.


((Next post is going to be hiiiiilaaaaaarious))

 

[Timv9]

Neji was looking back at aime and as he was about to turn around his sharingan picked up riyoshi coming full speed at him. Neji tried moving out of the way, but he couldn't. He did dodge the full force of the hit but riyoshi was still able to strike him and sent neji flying back into a tree. Neji winced in pain for a second and then looked up when he heard what riyoshi said. Neji was pretty angry right now and as he was about to say something to riyoshi he saw aime go into a demon like state and attack riyoshi and start doing crazy things. Neji stood here on the branch not really knowing what had come over aime but he really didn't want to find out as she was pretty scary when she got like this. Neji sighed as he started to jump through the trees again.

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi was awaiting the response of Neji but was soon attacked from behind. The punch connected with the back of his skull and he blacked out falling face first to the dirt. As he hit the dirt face first he was jolted back to consciousness and he clinched his fists in anger. How could he be taken by surprise like that. After all he is the son of two well respected clans. Anger brew within him as he forced himself to stand back up. Getting his balance, Riyoshi kept his fists clenched and took in deep, angered breaths.


Looking towards the direction of his team, Riyoshi hesitated in joining. He knew he should go with and catch up, but what was the point if he couldn't even shield himself from a single punch? In this moment, was he going to be an asset to the team or a liability?


Shaking his head, Riyoshi tried to clear his head of his negative thoughts. Closing his eyes, Riyoshi released his clenched fists and brought them together to form a handseal. Taking in deep breaths, Riyoshi tried to calm his self down enough to follow his team with no built up anger.

 

[Castello]

With all the fighting her comrades were doing, Yuka could easily take the lead. The thought of her leading a race really baffled her, she was probably the slowest on the team. She didn't like to waste her energy on such a thing as agility. She shoulder checked behind her and in the fog of her eye she could see two figures, seemingly fist fighting. 'Those Baka's!' She thought to herself, mentally facepalming, and somehow she could feel it. She continued to look back, keeping aware of what was in front of her, like trees and other people. It seemed two of them were coming her way, but one seemed to stagger behind them. By this time she felt too tired to participate, she might aswell pay for lunch after what those three have been up to. She came up to a road, one she remembered on the map. On it was a trade caravan led by two horse, 'perfect' she thought to herself.


She slowly made her way down to the ground, and sped up slightly to catch up with the caravan. Using her charkra she was able to lightly sit on the goods without breaking them, the man commanding the horses was completely oblivious.

[Kaine]

What had it been? 15? 20? maybe 30 minutes since she hit Riyoshi and took off like a bat out of hell. A ways down the road, she turned back to tree jumping and now somehow, as she came to the clearing, she thought for sure would be the town, Poof. The trees were gone and it was a large grassy field, untouched by people, obviously deep in the forest.


Hitting the ground kind of hard, she tumbled to break her fall and slid to a stop on her knee, one hand bracing her up. As her head panned up, she was met, eye leave with tall grass. Yup. somehow, as much as she hated to admit it, she was lost. Luckily since it was still morning, based on the direction of the sun, she had a general idea of where to head to hopefully hit some road and get back with the others.


It wasn’t like she did it purposely; competition got the best of her when she was involved. Normally she remained neutral but after being all tense and everyone making her flustered, it just happened.


Taking her time she finally stumbled up the road after another 10 minutes or so. a Lone traveler indly informed her that she had passed the town they were looking for and that it was about another 15 minutes up the road from where she just came. Sighing loudly she proceeded back up the road, finally entering town and passing through the other side to meet them. Indeed she was last. Again, sulking in her own stupidity, a shadow over her head and her coin pained by having lost her own competition, she waved, paying little attention to complaints or talk of her comrades, simply heading to a stand to pay for breakfast before they set off on the longer journey to their first checkpoint.

 

[Timv9]

Neji sighed as him his cousin riyoshi who he hasn't spoken too since the argument and Yuka reached the town hey would stop at to eat. Neji sighed as they waited for aime so far the start of the mission had not gone smoothly at all. Finally aime reached them as she got out her money and paid for breakfast. After they ate they headed tovthenother side of town and were about to leave when neji turned around and faced them. "Okay look guys no more messing around. I'm not going to have my first mission as a leader be a complete failure because you guys don't listen. We are going to take this more seriously and you will listen to me. I don't care of you like how I lead this mission or not but you will follow me. If you have something to say about a decision have made and you think we should do something different then tell me and we will go over it,but there will be no more messing around. I'm done being the easy leader."

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi was not speaking to any member of the team at this point. While eating his breakfast in solitude, Riyoshi kept playing the scenario in his head. Why was he not able to protect himself from being attacked, even from Aime? Soon the entire team was up and off to leave this town and head off onto the main mission. Arriving at the other end of town, Riyoshi and the team were a few steps back from Neji just as he turned around. Neji had taken in a quick but big breath as he looked upon his team. Riyoshi probably showed the most anger within his expression as Neji basically scolded all of them. And why not, he was the captain and they were just his pawns. A huge exhale left Riyoshi's nose as Neji finished his little speech.


"Yea, I guess we have no other choice. Take your lead." Riyoshi spoke out as he looked away from Neji and the group.


There was anger brewing within Riyoshi. At this point, Riyoshi was severely under classed in comparison to his team. Even with the sharingan, Riyoshi was basically a low level chuunin. The only thing that keeps him off of death's doorstep was the fact that he was quick and agile. If it was not for that, he would have been dead quite a few times. Shaking his head, Riyoshi exhaled once more through his nose and looked at Neji.


"I am ready whenever you guys are." Riyoshi spoke as he looked at Neji.

 

[Castello]

Yuka slowly, put surely came along onto of the merchant's carriage, finishing in the last place. Though, she did not care. Perhaps the others would feel better about themselves for not finishing last. In the end Yuka wasn't going to get any pride for finishing first anyways, she would only win because the others beat the shit out of each other. However this way she could get a bit of time to relax and rejoice in the fact that she was all alone.


She finally arrived where the other's were, a smug smile on her face. "Hello everyone. While you guys were fighting each other I took the time to take a nap. Hope that isn't an issue 'boss'" She said, jumping down from the carriage and stretching.

 

[backlash]

((OOC: Kaine will make his post tonight. He had a point that he brought to my attention. From now on, i will spice things up. Sorry for the delay of posts.))

 

[backlash]

24 hours have passed since Neji had taken control of his team and gained his leadership. They arrived at the border of the land of Rivers.There was a thick fog scattered throughout the entire land. This fog, was no mere fog. As the group of shinobi traveled into the fog, they began to drift away from each other. Their minds began to get a clouded feeling to them as they walked deeper into the land of Rivers.


"Where are we going?" Riyoshi spoke out to no avail.


It was as if the sound that was leaving his mouth was not making it to the others in the group. Shaking his head, Riyoshi tried to get his thoughts together. As he looked around, the girls were nowhere to be seen, only Neji and himself. Soon, the fog came up and clouded his head once more before he kept following behind Neji. It was not long before they were quite a ways away from the others. As they continued walking, the fog began to lift, and what they had seen was a bit shocking.


Neji and Riyoshi were approaching a large opening in the side of a mountain. It was lit on the inside all the way down the side of the cave, leading into the depths of the cave. Riyoshi stopped in front of the cave, and looked over at Neji.


"I am not really sure on what was happening, but i do not like the look of this place. What are you orders." Riyoshi spoke out as he looked upon Neji.

 

[Timv9]

Neji looked around as he saw that now only he and riyoshi were together. The so called fog had split the group up. Neji had his sharnigan activated while they were in the fog, but even with his advanced sharnigan for his age, he couldn't see through the fog illusion.


He had tried yelling to his comrades but nothing it was like he was in his own world. So all he could do was keep walking and hope everyone was okay. Eventually the fog lifted and Neji along with riyoshi stood in front of large lot up opening that led down to the bottom of the cave. "Well I think our first priority is to link back up with girls. If there is any chance that they are down there then we have to go down and look for them right?"


Neji was unsure of him self right now. He had no idea where the girls were and he also had a bad feeling about this place.


Neji sighed and reactivated his sharnigan. "Come on riyoshi we need to go make sure they are not in here. Activate your sharnigan and stay sharp who knows what might be down here."

 

[Castello]

Yuka walked right behind the group, keeping her mouth silent as usual. However something was in the air and it wasn't the wind. It was something more ominous, women's intuition if you will. After the observing the situation she had lost track of Riyoshi and Neji, now she could only hear the silent footsteps from Aime, however Yuka was not sure where she was. Soon she could here speedy running coming from multiple directions. "Riyoshi, Neji. What the hell are you doing." She said squinting her eyes trying to cut through the fog.


However it was soon becoming clear that they were not alone, someone was following them. Perhaps it was other lost people, but why would they be running? Maybe they were running from something, maybe her team was in danger. "Aime, Riyoshi, Neji are you there." She aimlessly called out into the fog, however there was no fear in her voice, just uncertainty. Just as she took another step something approached, travelling lightning quick, or atleast the fog made it out that way. She could barely see the shadow, but it appeared to be a woman's, it had a larger chest then a man would. Yuka slowly drew her knife, however just as doing so something came from her back, cutting a scratch across her arm. She let out a quick yelp and began to dart her eyes around, trying to get ahold of the situation.


"What a pain. If only I was born with better eyes." She said reaching for her wound. It wasn't a deep cut, it wouldn't scar, that's for sure but it bled slightly. However after taking a step she felt a cold sensation. She was standing in water. Perfect.


The footsteps returned, but this time she was confident. She closed her eyes, focusing on hearing rather than sight. When the being seemed close enough, that's when she would attack. Moments after she heard a splooshing sound she reacted. She quickly put her hands together and created her hand signs and a large icicle formed from the water, impaling the man right in the heart.


"Shit." She said gripping onto her fore arm to stop the bleeding slightly. "Aime... are you there?" She asked. It would be nice to know that there was someone who could maybe have her back and possible heal her wound.

 

[backlash]

((OOC: When @Kaine posts, we will return to our normal posting order. IE: Backlash,Overly,Kaine, then Tim. This way we can keep track of posting order and not back and forth post.))

 

[Timv9]

((OOC: is there anyway we could change the order to put me in front of kaine? If not it is fine I just figured since me and backlash are together it would be 1 and 3 and overly and kaine are together so it would be 2 and 4. If not it's fine I was just wondering.))

 

[backlash]

((well, technically, we are together. Look at the order. You post, then i post. Overly posts, then kaine posts. ))

 

[Kaine]

Without realizing it, the fog had its embrace on Aime. It was thick and slightly cold and it felt like it had a firm grip on her neck, squeezing ever tighter as they continued. Her head became clouded and it was like she couldn’t focus on anything or anyone. Stopping for a second, she called out.


“Guys. Wait up for me.” Taking off in a run she tried to catch up but instantly stopped when she tripped and fell down, hitting her knees and wrists on soft dirt and one hand landing in a puddle. The water slashing into her face jarred some sense back into her, she jumped up but her balance was still off. What the hell was going on!? Quickly turning around, it was soon apparent that they were being tracked.


“Ri~ yooooooo~ shi~! Ne~ ji~!... Yuuuuuu~ kaaaaaaa~!” She yelled out loud but it seemed like her voice was being absorbed by the mist. Turning again, was that foot steps she heard? Turning around a third time, was that a slash of water. Then it hit her. Back in the day, Kirigakure had an execution style jutsu where chakra enchanted mist could confused and be used to strike an unknowing foe. Quickly she bent her legs, lowered into an attack stance and started to form hand seals.


A slight whistle could be heard and a large thud as a huge tree branch struck Aimeka in her stomach with tremendous force. It completely knocked the wind out of her and she flew back into a tree gasping for breath as she rolled down it onto the ground. Nothing was broken, but her vision blurred as three individuals came into view.


One a large brutish man. 5 sizes bigger than a normal man. Fat and very dark skin, and that tree branch hanging off his shoulder.


The second a man just as tall, but sickly slender and calm, unspoken and quiet just watching with soulless eyes. His skin as pale a snow and covered in pink, flesh colored scars and finally as Aime reached down to get a kunai the third grabbed her hand, twisting it nearly to the breaking point. Aime screamed out loud, but it seemed to carry no where in this mist.


This man had a large fixed blade knife in his hand and he was of average size, but extremely muscular and an eye patch over his right eye. Quietly in a deep voice he spoke to her.


“Now now lil’ girl. Kunai’s are for shinobi, and from what i’ve seen, yer just ah lil’ girl.” Lifting her up into the air, Aime screamed again as her wrist and arm contorted into positions that could of broke it.


“Cans we beat her dead? Boss only needs blood right right?!” Asked the giant one with a branch.


“Do we know its her?” Asked the skinny one. The muscular one replied with a stern voice. “Of course it is; long dark haired Kunoichi. The other female only had short hair and the last two were boys. Now shuddup you fools. We head back now. But first, we strip her of supplies. She won't be needing them."


The slender huge laughed, "Ku ku ku~"


Aime, slowly regianing her wind back, tossed out a punch tried to strike the man and then kick and really do anything to get away. Her fist connected with the man's face but it felt like hitting steel and did nothing to him. “Fiesty” Pulling her up a little more, he let go and before her body had any time to fall, he back handed her face with all his force.


It was so tremendous that blood spew from her mouth and she tumbled a few feet away.


Walking over, he fiddled his knife between his fingers as he came up to her body. Lowering himself down, he put the knife in between her leg and the strap holding her pack on. Twisting it, he cut it off, then he cut the other one and lastly, he cut her belt off. Throwing all of them in a ditch. He grabbed a handful of hair, almost all the way down to her scalp and began to drag her. "Lil girls don't need supplies. Especially ones that are about to tell their secrets."


Aime tried to scream, but only blood dribbled from her mouth, and her hands wrapped around the huge fist of the man, trying to ease the pain to her head. Where were Yuka and the Others. Why had they left her. Tears formed in her eyes, they would find her. They had too.


(OOC: No planning for this. Just made it all up on the fly. Feel free to add to any of their appearances, and to control them and do as you please. Do anything you want to Aime except kill her.))

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi nodded at his captains orders. Closing his eyes for a second and when he opened them, his sharingan was activated. Taking off in a sprint, Riyoshi caught up with Neji.


"All right man. I know that you have noticed the cave we are in. The lights are of a luminescence nature." Riyoshi spoke out.


"It troubles me to think that we might have walked straight into the lions den, figuratively speaking." Riyoshi continued as they arrived at the bottom of the cave.


The cave opened up into a wide room where there stood 6 men. Each of them stopped what they were doing and looked at the two kids. Smiles grew upon a couple of their faces.


"Lookit here boys. We have a couple sharingan users." One of the men spoke out as he took a step closer to Neji and Riyoshi.


The other men began to approach the two boys as they drew out their weapons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fog Brigade:

Gonzales violently grabbed Aime, not respecting her body one bit. He quickly put her head inbetween his arms and locked, like a iron bear trap. "You better not squirm babe, or I'll have to snap you neck in two!." Gonzales harshly said and slowly brought his axe next to her head. "Gonzales you bloated fool, don't kill her! The scroll must have fresh blood, not rotted stale shit!" Akira said, pulling out a rope. "Rara, have you located Takeshi yet? He is the best at this tying stuff." She asked and a blurred out figure walked as if out of nowhere. "His life force... is not strong enough for my eyes to see..." He said in a bored tone. "Pftt typical Uchia, useless as always. If you can't find him then you'll tie him up or I'll do the 'punishment' again." She said in an intimidating tone. Rara stood silent a moment but let a quick sigh. "Whatever..." He said.

Quickly he took the hilt of the sword and jammed it into Aime's skull, knocking her out cold. He then knelt down right next to her and proceeded to tie her up, ignoring the yammering in the background from his boss. "YOU IDIOT, DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR WHAT I TOLD GONZALES!" She yelled at him so loudly, unconscious Aime could have probably been able to hear it. In response Rara made a mouth with his hand and opened and closed repeatedly, representing Akira's constant nagging and shouting. Akira scoffed and turned the other way, ignoring the response from her grunt. Soon Aime was completely tied up and blind folded, if it wasn't for her light breathing one would pronounce her dead as the dust. Rara slowly got up and Gonzales grabbed Aime's limp body and threw her over his rock hard shoulder. Slowly the fog began to fade and light returned to the land as the Fog Brigade made their way from the scene.

About an hour later the group of bandits made it back to their hide out, a small cave located in the side a rocky mountain. It was set up much like a military base. There was a small infirmary, a cafeteria, bunks for sleeping on and even an armoury filled with weapons and scrolls.

It was about at this time Aime would have probably woken up, however by now she was thrown into a cell with a pair of eyes looking down at her. "Heya lady! Those bandits got you realll good didn't they?" The white haired man said with a giggle and then cleared his throat. "Anyways my name is Kousichi... Minamoto. Perhaps you have heard my last name before, as it is the same as your friend Yukashima's. Actually another thing, this has been a mix up. You my dear friend are not the one they want, they want Minamoto blood to open a scroll of invisibility, however they don't know that... Yet. They went after Yuka but got you instead, kind of like reeling in a boot instead of a fish, wouldn't ya' say?" He said with a slight giggle.

Yuka:

Yuka paused a moment realizing she was all alone, just her and this dead guy. She reached into her pack and pulled out a roll of bandages and began to wrap it around her arm, but soon something interrupted, heavy breathing. "... Damn." A voice coming from the direction sounded. Yuka paused a moment and pulled out a knife. "You should be dead, an icicle through the heart should be fatal." Yuka bluntly stated. Takeshi laughed slightly, his face appeared dead yet, his voice still lingered. "You think too black girl. Look at things more grey. I made sure to cast a jutsu right before I died. This would allow me to talk to you even after my death. It's because I decided I want to help you. Oh yes, the name is Takeshi, a mercenary for the bandits that I believe may have kidnapped your friend. Those idiots." He said as if he was on his last breath. Yuka was slightly confused by the situation but she decided to listen. "Who is my friend?" She asked. "The other girl in your group, if they have yet to kidnap you, they probably got the blue haired girl instead. My employers are not what you would call bright lights." He replied. "My friend Aime... Whatever. What would a bunch of brigands want with me anyways?" She curiously asked the voice. "Something for a scroll, but I can not tell you much more... My time, it's running out. For once in my life I wanted to do something slightly good. I've been a rogue for god knows how long. I've been a terrible father and husband, helping two girls might marginally repay the pain I have caused to the ones connected to the people I have killed.... Shit, I rambled on to long. There is a map in my pocket, on it I marked the destination. There is another boy he'll ally with you. He is a... Lucy forgive me, ugh!" Takeshi said as his voice got quieter and quieter until his melancholy sobs could no longer be heard.

Yuka let out a long sigh and reached into the man's pocket and pulled out his map. On it was the direct locations to the mountain side hideout. However Yuka decided to look around the area for any evidence of Aime. Perhaps she was not kidnapped and they stole the feminine looking Riyoshi instead. It'd be interesting to see him being hold hostage, that was for sure. However she couldn't see her any ways, even with the fog clearing up, but neither were Neji and Riyoshi. Like the man said she made her way to the hideout, taking her about half an hour, because she decided to take her time. Once she arrived she observed the place, thinking of how she would execute this little rescue mission.

 

[Timv9]

Neji listened to riyoshi as they ran down into the cave. "Yea I've noticed, unfortunately I think you may be right about walking into A lions dead but if aime or Yuka are down here. We have to rescue them. I will not leave a comrade behind."


Soon they were at the bottom as they were met by 6 men who stopped what they were doing and started to walk towards Neji and riyoshi.


Neji turned back and looked at riyoshi "well looks like we're going to have to fight our way out of this."


Neji thought to himself "time for the new jutsu I've been working on." Neji made hand signs as he ran at the lead guy a huge amount of lighting chakra came from his hand, he struck the lead man in the chest as he yelled "chidori" the man fell right in front of him to the ground and Neji jumped back to his cousin. "Be ready riyoshi."

 

[Kaine]

Aimeka had awoken a few times but kind of in and out. The blood dripping down her temple stung but best of all, she couldnt see anything. Twisting her wrists, she realized that both her ankles and her wrists had been bound and with tight clean knots that could not be undone. She wiggled and struggled but nothing worked.


Then being lifted again, she struggled on the mans shoulder.


“Let me go you barbarian!” But again, before she could do anything she was tossed into a cell with some random guy who started blabbing his mouth.


“So what if your name is the same as a girl I know. Even if what you say is true. They will just kill me instead of her. Besides why would Invisibility be good?”


She turned towards his voice, still tired and blindfolded.


“Bloodlines like Uchiha or the Hyuuga would still easily defeat it. Anyways, why don't you untie me so i can see your face."

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi listened to his captain as he watched the other men continue to approach them. Hearing his cousin talk about the jutsu he had been practicing made him smile. His cousin was not the only one to have a new jutsu, and this was the best time as any to unleash it. Neji was the first to lunge into battle, his quick movements had caught the men off guard for a second, and that was all Neji needed to land a fatal strike upon whom seemed like the leader. In the same instance, Riyoshi had removed the trench knives from his bag and he gripped them tightly in his hands before leaping off to the left towards one of the men. As he approached the man in the corner of the room, Riyoshi poured his chakra into his blades and slashed them at the man. His chakra became sharpened and the cutting edge of the blades was extended past the edge of the metal. Slashing at the man, he dodged the blades but Riyoshi smiled at the man’s efforts. Riyoshi turned his attention past the man and looked upon the wall behind him. There were two large gashes carved into the stone and the man soon looked shocked before falling backwards and landing upon the ground. Riyoshi was about to leap back to his cousin when he found out he was stuck in place. He was not able to move at all and Riyoshi looked upon the ground to see if the ground had rose up and covered his feet, but this was not it, it was a shadow.


“Shit Neji. There is a shadow user here. We need to eliminate some shadows, and hurry. I feel his grip upon me tightening.” Riyoshi called out as he tried to free himself.


Just as he began to struggle, his right hand began to rise up to his neck, blade still in hand.

 

[Castello]

Kousichi:


"Barbarian?" Kousichi asked, acting as if he was hurt by Aime's words. "Babe you better treat me with some respect, I am your only hope." He said realizing he was starting to sound like an actual barbarian. He let out a sigh and relieved her eyes from the blind fold. He then reached for Aimes handcuffs and put his hand over the chaining and they soon turned icy blue. "Pull." He said with a friendly smile.


He waited a moment, for Aime to pull herself out of the handcuffs. "Anyways, let us get out of here, I am done pretending to work with these people." He said opening the door and checking around, to make sure there was anyone near. "Oh yeah, that Jutsu is easier if you do not have the eyes of the Uchia or Hyuga. From what I have researched the Minamoto clan was established to counter the two visual clans. The Jutsu reflects their sight and makes them appear else where. It is easier to rely on sound, other than that they are completely invisible." He said to Aime and offered her a helping hand up.


Yuka:


Yuka awaited outside the fortress and quietly crept closer ever so slowly. She eventually arrived outside the entrance to realize there was a purple haired man guarding the door, a shroud of fog orbiting around him. Yuka stared at the man observing him closely for signs of his jutsu's and weapons. It would appear all she would get from it was he was an axe user and had a couple of explosive Kunai's. Though the mist around him probably implied he was from the hidden mist village, that would work to her advantage. The mist around him would allow her to possibly freeze him, or using the water to create a small icicles to use as a weapon or cut creating projectiles.


She slowly approached the man, a knife in hand for possible intimidation. The man took notice of her and gave her a foul eye. "Who the hell are you... Are you after the Minamoto?" Gonzales said pulling out his axe. Yuka put her hands together, making preparations for a hand seal. She felt a little bad that Aime was mistaken for her, she would not be in this mess if she had just stayed at home, or had never been born. "Yes." She bluntly replied and froze her right arm and charged the man.


Gonzales smiled and began blowing a gust of mist towards her, chilling her bones slightly, but the cold never bothered her anyway. She could vaguely see and soon she realized the man was breathing right on top of her head, chopping his axe towards her. She quickly blocked the axe with her knife, the only reason her arm didn't break was because she froze it. She defrosted her arm and was able to cut the man slightly on the hip. "You bitch!" Gonzales called out and swung his axe towards her, she was almost sliced in half but she was able to roll past the attack. The mist was definitely problematic and he seemed to fight in it just fine. Was he Hyuga? He couldn't be Uchia, his hair was not black and she could probably see his red eyes if that was the case. If things kept going she would grow exhausted and probably receive a fatal attack.


(for some reason it went blue and I could not change it. Hope it is not a problem. It isn't too hard on the eyes .)

Neji was shocked to see a Nara a clan member from the hidden leaf here with these rogue ninja. Neji made hand signs and found the Nara hiding in the back. "Fire ball jutsu" he shot one of the uchihas famous fire ball jutsu at the Nara clansmen. He didn't expect for it to hit him, but what it did do was light up the room so riyoshi could escape the shawdow.


Nejis sharnigan caught an enemy's movement and Neji jumped back as he dodged an attack. He looked at the man who had attacked him, the first thing he noticed was the mans eyes. "You have the byakugan you're a hyuga." Neji thought to him self, if he hits my chakra points I'm done, I have got to keep it from turning into a close combat fight. Neji started making hand signs as he was preparing to make an attack. The hyuga started to run at him, Neji finished his hand signs. "Fire dragon jutsu!" Neji shoots out a dragon completely made of fire and it slams into the hyuga forcing him to slam into the ground. Neji stands there waiting to see if the hyuga was dead, but soon the hyuga gets up.
