Naruto: The Red Moon Wars [PG-16; Strict Advanced Clause] [STARTED! Accepting by PM]

[Damiano Tosē]

Setsu Achaiha and Akihito Arato

Do they really think that stabbing and slicing Summoning Jutsu's will stop them from coming here? Setsu thought to himself as he entered the village. Kimicho's tiger licked the blood from his head and shaked off the pain from the stabs. "It's going to have to take more then that to stop my beast, Tigerra." Kimicho said as her tiger roared in the air. The tiger then stomped on the ground as a tidal wave was released from the impact. The tidal towered over Kisune as it rushed to its victim. Regret's mutated dragon, trembled but stood up strong and was already at the entrance of the village. "Mystic Field!" Regret said as he formed the needed hand signs to create a light around his dragon. The wound on its belly wounded for more then 5 minutes because of the size of Hoshimi's Samehada. Regret's dragon roared in the air as it shadowed over Hoshimi. "It seems you have your hands covered... Hoshimi." Setsu said as he looked up and noticed the dark clouds. He disappeared as he was already behind his little cousin. "Why hello Akihito. Such a blessing meeting the Amekage." Setsu said as he and Akihito both had their eyes closed. "What are you doing here Setsu? I banned you from this village and you still have the nerve to come and destroy your home." Akihito said as he unsheathed his sword. "I came here to see you little cousin. I want to repay you for banishing me from my own home." Setsu said as he unsheathed his sword as well. Every Amegakure Jonin and Anbu appeared to the village entrance and was in shock that their strongest ninja, Setsu was facing the Amekage. "Everyone stand down. This is a fight between me and him." Akihito said as everyone did as they were told. "Now... where were we?" Setsu said as he was already a few steps back from Akihito. They both pointed their swords up in the air as the skies darkened. The fight between famill members, the final battle between Setsu and Akihito is about to commence and only one will be named the strongest ninja of Amegakure.

Hoshimi

Hoshimi sighed, looking over her shoulder at the large dragon, which was currently trying (and failing)to intimidate her by shadowing over her, in annoyance. "Well, I WAS going to let you live," the woman told the dragon before disappearing from view. "But it looks like you're going to die by my hand," she finished, reappearing above the dragon and spinning rapidly, forming something of a tornado. 'That guy's going to make this fight a pain in the ass,' she thought, slicing the dragon's tail off and making it roar in pain. Landing in front of Regret, she walked up to him and cupped his face in her hand.

"Listen, I'd like to finish this battle up really quickly, so if you don't mind, please don't heal the dragon," she said, suddenly blasting her knee up into his groin before going back to fight the dragon.

Kisune Yamanaka

 

Kisune twisted the Kamara to where it angled into the chest of the tiger from where it had impaled its head. As the tiger stomped, Kisune jabbed it straight into the Tiger's heart, causing it to die/desummon. "Do you really think a summon would be able to defeat me. Let me show just some of my power," he said. He retracted Kamara into its one foot length and attached it back to his back. "Partial Transformation," Kisune stated. Both of his arms became covered in sand as giant arms became noticeable. He slammed his arms down and a large mass of sand rose around the two shinobi's feet. Kisune gave a manical laugh as he used the sand to surround the shinobi's bodies. "Desert Coffin," he said with a wide grin on his face. The shinobi's bodies lifted into the air. "Hoshimi, should I end their misery or not?" Kisune asked her.

[Azure Flame Kite]

Hoshimi

"Hell if I care," Hoshimi stated, waving the trio off. What she was more anxious about was the fight going on between Setsu-chan and the Amekage, and the chakra signatures surrounding them; every freaking ninja in the entire village must have been there! "Kill 'em if you feel like it, I really couldn't care less about two useless shinobi anyway," she stated aloofly, turning around to leave. "I'm going to wreak some havoc on the village, after you're done, just stop those two idiots from killing each other, will you?" she asked, disappearing and reappearing in the center of the rainy village, running through some hand signs. "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!" columns of water erupted under multiple buildings, essentially destroying them.

[Damiano Tosē]

Setsu Achiha and Akihito Arato

"Dont kill no one. We will do that when the Amekage is dead." Setsu said as he and Akihito clashes in the air with their swords. Regret fell to his knees as his summoning jutsu disappeared. Regret gained his conscience... and his manhood for at least 10 minutes then set his sights on Hoshimi. "I got that akatsuki Kimicho. You get the other one." Regret as he appeared infront of Hoshimi. But what he didn't know was the huge amount of sand that covered his body. "Right." Kimicho said as her summoning tiger disappeared as she stood infront Kisune. She too did not know that the large amount of sand covering her body. "What the..?" They both said, struggling to try and get out. "Why did you return? Why do you want to kill me?" Akihito said as each impact pushed him back. "Some questions are better left unanswered. But if you must know... i'm on a mission to destroy this village." Setsu said as he continued his frenzy of slashes. Akihito tried his best to defend but with a powerful kick to the stomach and a devastating dragon uppercut that sended him to the air by Setsu, Akihito was caught off guard. As Akihito was in the air, Setsu performed the needed hand seals to end Akihito's life. "Fire Style: Burning Ash Accumulation Justu!" Setsu said as he put two connected fingers on the side of his mouth and expelled(released) ash from his mouth. The ash covered Akihito's whole body. Setsu clicked his teeth together as the ash ignited into a huge explosion. As the smoke blew away, Akihito was not in the air, but only a log instead. "Nice Substitution justu. But... it's going to take more then that to stop me." Setsu was right, it would take more then that to stop him. Akihito appeared behind Setsu said as he performed the needed hand seals. "Wind Style: Pressure Damage Jutsu!" Akihito said as he released his charka. "Got you." Setsu said as he turned around. After releasing his chakra, Akihito's charka then formed into a large, destructive, gale of wind that blewed Setsu onto the other side.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Kisune Yamanaka

 

"Well, I'm just gonna kill these two useless shinobi anyway. Then kill off a few others to weaken their strengths. We are only here for a certain purpose," Kisune stated. With that said Kisune did what he liked best with this technique. "Desert Funeral," he said with a large grin on his face as he closed his hands. The sand collapse inward, crushing and killing the two shinobi. Then the sand fell of Kisune's arms as he made his way towards the large crowd of shinobi. "So who's next?" he questiond with the grin on his face still. He held open his arms as to give someone an opening.

OOC: Dark Necro, one strike for bad spelling. Two more and you're kicked from the RP.

 

Kagetake

Without a word, Kagetake lunged, burying his Nodachi in the nearest Kumogakure shinobi, the one that'd been pinned by Kousen's ice. Kagetake hacked down, slicing through his impaled foe. He turned to his right, sprinting off towards the next enemy. This one had evidently run afoul of Kousen's infamous wind techniques, if the dozens of gashes covering his body were any indication. Kagetake made a one-handed seal, condensing moisture around the tip of his Nodachi to extend the blade. He gradually lowered the weapon until the watery tip of the blade just barely broke the ground's surface, such that Kagetake left a thin trail behind him as he ran. He sprinted straight past the Kumo shinobi. The moisture-blade bisected the downed ninja. Kagetake felt the moisture shift as it sheared through skin, muscle, and bone like (for lack of a better metaphor) a hot knife through butter.

Kagetake spun, searching. He felt a third body falling through the air's moisture, displacing water particles as it plummeted to the ground. Ah, there it is... Kagetake spun, locating an enemy above him to the left. He extended two fingers on his left hand, pointing at the enemy to direct the moisture. Spikes of condensed water shot up, skewering Kagetake's target as the shinobi fell.

Kagetake's smile widened. That was fun.

He turned around, jogging back over to Kousen. He pointed his thumb over his shoulder. "We're near the forest's edge. The restaurant is that way, on Hoshigakure's outskirts. Let's go."

Kagetake didn't wait for a response, executing a spinning leap into the trees. He landed on a branch, launching himself to the next before breaking into a branch-to-branch run. After fifteen seconds of this, he stopped. They had arrived.

A small building sat beside a gravel road just outside of the forest. A sign above the entrance read 'Burning Curry Restaurant'. Kagetake could smell the spices from his vantage point atop the tree. He smelled something else, too. Something sinister and powerful. Madara was definitely there.

[namelessk]

Kousen watched as Kagetake easily slew the three Kumogakure shinobi that he had failed to slay. All of his hatred and anger were only for Kirigakure and them alone. No one else deserved to suffer at the hands of his anger. Now, if the Kumogakure shinobi had been allied with Kirgakure shinobi, then it would have been a different story. He would have slaughtered them without a second thought; simply for sharing enough of the same views to ally with Kirigakure. Kousen sheathed his katana and then jumped after Kagetake. He moved quickly, making sure not to get left behind. He leapt from branch to branch and was able to keep up with Kagetake's speed from branch-to-branch. When he saw Kagetake stop just in front of him, he also stopped, landing just beside Kagetake on a branch near him. "So, what're we doing here? You never exactly told me why we were supposed to be coming here." Kousen said as he looked over to the restaurant which Kagetake had been staring at.

[CarlinFan]

Kagetake

Kagetake gestured at the Burning Curry restaurant. "We're supposed to meet Madara there. He said something about discussing strategy, and he mentioned Kiri, so I'm guessing we're going to arrange an attack on those bastards." Kagetake chuckled. "Finally."

Kagetake leapt off of the tree down onto the street, strolling casually into the restaurant. After a moment of searching, Kagetake located Madara, pacing over to the Uchiha and sitting across from him. "Sorry I took so long. A dozen or so Kumo Jonin attacked, and they slowed us down a bit. Oh, about the 'us'. I ran into Kousen earlier, and he's going to join us during our meeting."

[namelessk]

Kousen

"Interesting." Kousen thought to himself when he heard the words plan tactics and Kirigakure. Those were all the words that he needed to hear for his rage and anger to boil up. He bit his lip, trying to supress his anger as he watched Kagetake head off to the restaurant. When he felt that his anger was supressed enough, he jumped down to the street below in the same manner Kagetake had. He walked straight towards the restaurant and headed in. After stepping into the restaurant he looked around, searching for Kagetake or Madara. Once he spotted Kagetake, he headed over to where he sat and stood near the table. "Hello Madara-san. You don't mind me joining you two do you?" Kousen asked as he stood there, waiting for Madara to say that he could be seated.

[CarlinFan]

Madara

Madara glanced up at Kousen. "Ah, Kousen-kun. It's been a few months since we last met. Please, sit." He gestured to the floor before Kousen, beckoning for the shinobi to sit with them. "Anyways, it's time that we discuss the purpose of this meeting.

"I have Hoshimi, Kisune, and Setsu attacking Amegakure right now. They're doing a hit-and-run attack. My strategy is to weaken its allies and it by placing Ame in a situation where its allies will have to provide aid. When this occurs, we will wipe out Suna, then Iwa, and finally destroy the weakened Ame. But that's not why you're here. My plan for the three of us involves a similar attack upon Kirigakure. My predictions are that Iwa will send less aid than Suna, as one of its lead military advisors has a grudge against Amegakure. Iwa will most likely surprise-attack Kumo. Our job is to hit-and-run Kiri and force Kumo to send aid to them. Then Iwa will destroy Kumo while aid shinobi are gone. While Iwa is fighting Kumo, we destroy Suna and Iwa, then the weakened Ame and Kiri. Finally, we return to Kumo and bring it down.

"So what do you all think?"

 

Kagetake

Before Kousen had a chance to open his mouth, Kagetake interjected his opinion, a rare scowl on his face. He had one main issue with Madara's plan, and it couldn't wait for Kousen to weigh in. It had to be addressed now.

"It's smart, but I don't like the hit-and-run on Kiri. Couldn't we just crush it entirely and allow a single messenger to get away? We could put him under a Genjutsu so he doesn't know about the complete destruction, only the attack. We lure out Kumo aid teams, crush them while Iwa's attacking the main village, and then we go with the rest of your plan." Kagetake pounded one fist into the other hand as he finished his summary. "How's that sound?"

[namelessk]

Kousen

Kousen sat down on the floor where Madara had gestured towards. He sat and listened to every word Madara had said. He liked every part of the plan until it came to the hit-and-run attack on Kiri. Once again, his anger began to boil up, and he had to grind his teeth just to suppress it. He didn't want to go off on Madara and go into a huge rant on why Kirigakure should be destroyed completely instead of left to rebuild for the short time before they returned to destroy it. He was about to say something when Kagetake interjected. Kousen knew that Kagetake wanted Kiri destroyed as much as he did. His anger subsided after he had heard Kagetake's plan. "I like that plan." Kousen said, turning to Kagetake. He then turned back to face Madara. "Madara-san, please excuse me, but surely you cannot expect someone like me, who had his family slaughtered by those Kirigakure shinobi, to do a hit-and-run attack. If Kagetake and I were to attack the village, I assure you that no one would be left standing." Kousen said, trying to once more suppress his rising anger. "I would try my best not to kill them all, but that cannot be guaranteed." He breathed in and then breathed out, calming himself once more. His training with the samurai really helped him to suppress his anger, and at this moment, in this restaurant full of people, he really needed to be calm.

[Azure Flame Kite]

Jun

"Who the f%*# sent 12 of my anbu to assassinate an S-ranked criminal?!" Jun Senoue yelled at the council of elders angrily, slamming his fist on the table and nearly cracking it. It hadn't even been ten minutes since his return from Suna and already he was hearing that his ninja were dying because some moron felt it necessary to send them after someone that even HE didn't think he'd handle without getting maimed.

"Sir, i-if you please-" the 55 year-old councilman's stammering was cut off when Jun vaulted over to the other side of the rectangular table where he was sitting and grabbed him up by the scruff of his shirt, lifting him up to see the kneeling Raikage's headband.

"You shut up," Jun growled menacingly, and the frightened man could almost feel Jun's eyes through his red headband. "I will NOT have any of my shinobi killed fighting an S-class criminal! Do. You. Understaaaannnnddd?" He asked in a spine-chilling voice, making sure he got his point across well. The terrified man rapidly nodded his head, signaling he understood. Jun looked around him at the other council members, who also nodded their heads, fearing the wrath of their leader.

"Good!" he said decisively, dropping the man back into his seat, standing up on the table and disappearing with a Shunshin.

[CarlinFan]

Madara

"I see..." Madara chuckled. The bloodlust of these two was one of the main reasons he'd selected them to be his generals; he couldn't complain when that bloodlust turned against him, or rather his plans. Well, Madara thought. Kagetake does make a rather compelling argument. And with my genjutsu skills, the single-messenger strategy would be easy. I suppose he does have a point... and for Kousen to lose his composure, they must really hate Kirigakure. It probably wouldn't be worth the trouble of keeping them in line to let Kirigakure stay standing; I suppose I should go with Kagetake's idea.

"Alright, we'll go with Kagetake's plan. But first, there's something in Hoshigakure we have to attend to." Madara smiled at that. He never gave any of his subordinates the full picture until it was absolutely necessary, and right now, it wasn't. "For now, both of you have something to eat. The waitress will be back in a minute. No, Kagetake, not all of their food is spicy. Now, Kousen, why don't you share some of your sword techniques? I'm sure Kagetake would benefit from knowing them, and even I might be able to apply them to my scythe. Samurai kenjutsu would be very useful to know."

[namelessk]

Kousen

"Thank you Madara-san." Kousen said, bowing his head down a little. "I am not really hungry, but I will try and eat something." Kousen said after Madara told him and Kagetake that they should eat. "I'd be happy to teach you some of my samurai techniques, but it took me years to master them. The techniques dealing with the sword would be simple to teach, but the technique that I've created to augment my sword style may take some time to learn. One has to get used to controlling it with only your mind." Kousen began. "There are also some chakra types that do not work so well with a blade." he added as he looked at Madara and then Kagetake. "Fire should work." Kousen said to Madara. "You use water chakra like me, so that's guaranteed to work." Kousen said as he turned to Kagetake. "When would you like to begin learning them?" he asked the both of them.

[Allesk]

Resshin Ichijin

The Kazekage, The highest title within Sunagakure. It was such an honor when this title was bestowed upon her, however it came with great responsibility. Resshin's long black hair flowed in the wind as she stood atop the highest building in Sunagakure. She sighed gazing at the dark sky. Moments before hand she had received word that akatsuki was making its move once more. She needed solitude when she needed to think, and thats exactly what she had. Leaning against the ledge of the building she pulled out a scroll and began to write on it. She was sending a message to the Tsuchikage. At a time like this a meeting would be essential, however there was no time. She had thoughts about joining together to fight the akatsuki. Knowing she couldn't do it alone. Finishing up the letter she rolled up the scroll tightly, and tied a blue ribbon around it. She let out another sigh and walked over to a bird cage in the corner of the roof, pulling a bird from it she gave the scroll to it. "To Iwagakure," she said releasing to bird. She watched it gracefully fly through the air until it was out of site. "Now, to make preparations for the obstacles to come." she said walking down the spiral staircase that wrapped around the exterior of the building and returned inside the building where her office was located.

--How was there bad spelling?

 

IC: Setsu Achaiha and Akihito Arato

"Didn't I tell you not to kill those two until the Amekage is dead?!" Setsu raised his voice at Kisune but deep down inside he did not care one bit. Akihito formed the needed hand seals as he was already behind Setsu. "Keep your guard up cousin, Wind Style: Great Breakthough Jutsu!" Akihito said as he brung his hand to his mouth. A large blast of wind blew from his mouth as it blew Setsu into the open air. "Right where i wanted you, Earth Style: Canine Summoning Justu + Earth Style: Tracking Fang Justu!" Setsu said as he withdrew a tracking scroll from the pouch on his vest and wipe the blood of the one he want tracked on it. After forming the needed hand seals, Setsu slammed the scroll onto the ground when he landed on both feet. Afetr that incident, the scroll released ninja-dogs into the earth to follow their excellent sense of smell to track the Akihito's blood. After finding their target, the dogs emerged from the ground to bite and pin down Akihito. "What is this?" Akihito said as he tried to get out but couldn't. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Justu!" Setsu said as he performed a string of hand seals. After the hand seals was completed, Setsu then blew a large jet stream of fire from his mouth. The jet fire made a direct. Akihito then fell on the ground as Setsu turned his back. "Weak cousin... i told you... you cannot win." Setsu said as he felt that something was wrong. He looked back and saw that Akihito was flared up with chakra. "This might be interesting." Setsu said as Akihito was already infront of him.

OOC: 'Charkas' multiple times, 'blewed', wrong case for 'i', misuse of 'no one', etc. There were further grammatical and spelling errors in your newest post, but I won't give you another strike yet. You have a warning.

 

IC:

Madara

"We could potentially head back into the forest after finishing our meals. That would be a good place to set up camp, and the dense foliage makes practicing sword techniques privately much more convenient. But for now, we should just eat. You two order something. I already ate."

As the waitress passed by their seats, Madara raised a hand. The 20-something woman turned to face him, holding her pen to her notepad. "Yes?"

"I'll have some tea." Madara held up his empty mug for the waitress. She took the green ceramic mug from Madara, pinning it to her side with her left elbow. "These two haven't eaten yet. What would you two like to eat?"

 

Kagetake

Kagetake glanced to the left, not wanting to read the menu. Instead, he merely surveyed other patrons' dishes to see what looked appetizing. One diner, an elderly man in a gray robe, had before him a steaming plate of brown curry with carrots and chicken. No good... too spicy. A young woman sitting across from the old man, however, was midway through a large dish of Soba noodles. Much better.

Kagetake pointed over at the woman's dish. "I'll have the Soba, Miso soup, and some sake." The waitress scribbled furiously at her pad for a few seconds before nodding. She turned to Kousen, her eyebrows raised in an implied question.

[namelessk]

Kousen

"Hmm...what do they have here that is good?" Kousen said more to himself than the others as he looked down at the menu. He saw many different types of dishes of curry and soups and other things, but they just didn't seem to appeal to him. He then spotted ramen at the bottom of the menu with different types of it listed there. "I'll have the miso ramen please, and a little sake as well." Kousen said to the waitress. He then turned back to the others and began to wait for her to return with their food.

[CarlinFan]

OOC: Note to Allesk: Tsuchigakure and Sunagakure are already in an alliance. In my post, I'll interpret your message as meaning we should form a joint squad to deal with Akatsuki.

 

Eiji

Eiji stood upon the balcony behind his office, resting his arms on the railing. In the distance, he sensed the chakras of the ANBU fading as they drew closer to Amegakure. The squad's leader was Fujiwara Tadakatsu, a man capable of using a quite powerful quick travel jutsu which could be extended to a group. The jutsu allowed the user (and any he extended the jutsu's effect to) to teleport to any location within sight. Despite the Jutsu's distance limitations (it could only travel half a kilometer each use), considering the open terrain between Ame and Iwa, the ANBU would likely reach Ame in a matter of minutes. One of them, a man named Tatsuya, had sent a Kage Bunshin with the squad, while Tatsuya himself had remained at the village. Upon locating Akatsuki members at Ame, the ANBU were to destroy Tatsuya's Bunshin. The information he'd recieved would be mentally relayed to Tatsuya, who would in turn deliver it to Eiji.

Eiji turned back into his office, sitting at his desk. He picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, putting the finishing touches on a letter to the Kazekage, Resshin. Her messenger hawk sat contentedly upon the corner of Eiji's desk, nibbling at what remained of his lunch, a rice curry dish. In summary, Eiji's letter conveyed Shingen's tactics and asked Resshin to join him at Ame with some ANBU to attack the Akatsukis.

Eiji rolled up the paper, tying it with a short length of cord and slipping it into the bird's pouch. He waved at the window, gesturing for the bird to leave. It leapt off of his desk, flying through the window. The bird moved at uncanny speeds, streaking through the air above Iwagakure. In moments, it was merely a speck in Eiji's view.

Eiji turned back to his desk, pulling one of the drawers open. He reached in, removing a binder labeled 'ANBU'. Eiji placed the binder upon his desk and opened it, pausing for a moment to consult a list on the first page. It was time to build his unit for the ambush at Ame... a unit he'd most likely be sending to their deaths.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Since no one had obviously stepped up to the challenge against him, Kisune jumped down near them. On his way down he formed more handsigns, a set of two in fact. "Silent Dome and Great Fireball," he stated intently. Suddenly 5 shinobi near Kisune were trapped inside a giant wind dome, where all sound was removed. Any debris flying inside would begin to inflict small damage, but nothing major. However, the Fireball that was also released, began to burn at there bodies. In just a fe wminutes, their bodies would eb reduced to mere ash and not even a soumd of their pain could be heard. Kisune let out a menacing laugh as he knew the pain they were obviously suffering and enjoyed every bit of it.

[Allesk]

OOC: Thats pretty much what I meant anyways

 

IC: Resshin Ichijin

Resshin sat at her desk wit her window open. her elbows here on the desk, and her hands were together. She had been leaning her head against her folded hands thinking in a meditation-like state. Suddenly her hawk thumped onto her desk and set the note from Eiji before her. She grabbed it undoing the ties. She unrolled it and read it. Resshin leaned back in her thinking again. I thought popped into her head and she stood from her chair. Resshin walked out of her office and left the building entirely. "Who would be the best team to gather in this situation?" she asked herself already knowing the answer. She turned a man who had be guarding the entrance of the building and said, "Find me Shien, Isha, and Ikimono" The guard was instantly gone and Resshin returned to her office to reply that she would be there.

[namelessk]

Kousen

Kousen waited and waited for the waitress to bring his food. He was about to think that they wouldn't bring it when he saw her come out with a tray with his food on it. "Ah...I hope it's good." he said as he stared at the miso ramen placed in front of him. He picked up his chopsticks, said "Itadakimasu", and then began eating. He savored the flavor of the ramen as he ate it almost noodle by noodle. He was sure that Madara and Kagetake would be a little annoyed that he was taking so long to eat, but he wanted to savor the taste of food, something he had not had in a long time. During his training with the samurai, he was prevented from eating so that he could train harder. Only when he finished training would they let him eat, and sometimes he wouldn't even get to eat because after the training he would be too tired to do anything. He felt as if savoring the taste of the ramen would help it to last until the next time he got to eat. "My apologies. It is just that I have not eaten in some time." he said to them after he finished the last ramen noodle and drank the bowl clean.

[CarlinFan]

Kagetake

A moment later, Kagetake's dish arrived. He ripped his chopsticks away from each other, perfectly bisecting the block of wood without chipping the base as others so often do. "Itadakimasu!" He dug into his dish, slurping noodles at nigh-supersonic speeds (or so it felt), downing the soup in five seconds flat. Once this was done, he smacked his lips loudly. "Aaahh... delicious!"

Kagetake then turned his attention to the cup of Sake. One lesson his father had taught him as a young boy was that a cup of good Sake was to be appreciated. One should not drink it as they would a shot of liquor; they should savor the drink's taste and make it last.

Kagetake's mental derangement had, of course, led him to throw this lesson out of the window with all the other rules of etiquette. His hand shot out and gripped the cup, which he raised to his lips blindingly fast. Kagetake downed the drink in a series of loud chugs, smacking his lips loudly when he was done. He set the cup back down next to his empty dishes. "Now, that's some damned good Sake!"

 

Madara

Madara smiled at Kagetake's antics. He was somewhat impressed by the speed with which Kagetake had dispatched his dinner, though he had firsthand evidence that the psychopathic ninja's hunger paled in comparison to his raging bloodlust. Madara felt the Kyuubi stirring at the memory of that battle. The Valley Massacre, as it had come to be referred to as, was one of the only times where all of the generals had fought together in a single battle. Their opponents had been a composite force of the Daimyo's armies, the minor villages, and three squads from each major village. If memory served, the stacks of corpses had been taller than the Kyuubi itself.

Madara pulled himself back to the present. "Now that we've eaten, let's go set up camp in the forest. Don't worry about the tab, my Genjutsu will ensure that none of these people even remember us being here." Madara stood, Kagetake wiping his sake-moistened lips before pushing off of the wooden plank floor. "Gentlemen, shall we?"

[namelessk]

Kousen

After Kousen had finished his miso ramen, he picked up the cup of sake that had been set on the table for him with his ramen. He drank it down slowly, also savoring it's flavor. When he finished, he noticed Madara getting up. "It's time go go now? Alright." Kousen said as he placed the cup of sake back down onto the table. He then stood up and looked from Madara to Kagetake. "Where are we setting up camp at?" he asked. "Also, we should probably start setting up soon. It looks like it's getting dark soon." he said as he nodded his head towards the window which was just across from them.
