Years Later (Naruto RP) (started and accepting)

[Auralady]

Kinata sighed, "Please who said anything about you not fightig? I ment that I would simply pull you away before anyone got hurt."She shook her head sighing again. Why was it men allways thought the girl thought them weak or something? It was ridiculus to her though she would never admit it. "Oh and by the way in case you didn't know....bird claws hurt. When they dig into your skin try to imagine a bunch of senbon needs all concenrated in the tender areas of your shoulders. Thats when you have Nura arrying you in her claws. Not exactly the most pleasent feeling in the world but effective to drag a couple of hot headed shinoi away from a battle." Kinata glanced at Diachi eyeing him, "You know....your hair doesn't look bad like that. A little getting used to but on the whole...not bad really."

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"It's not how it looks, it's what it means, that I'm worried about." He glanced at kinata before laying back against the ground and closing his eyes. He stood inside his mind faceing Kurei. "You need to calm yourself Daichi." Kurei stated flatly. "I'm not even trying to break free and THIS" He indicted the left side of his hair, which now had Daichi's brown hair. "Try doing something to calm yourself down. Like hot springs." Daichi stared for a moment, but then noded. "Sure, good idea." Back on top of the mountain Daichi opened his eyes. "Hey, what would you say to a trip to the hot springs? The warm water might help me calm down a bit."

[Master Fury]

Marcus walked into the Hokage's room feeling curious and excited. "I apologize for being late, but I was busy training." he said to everyone. "So, you must be Roya Uchila? You seem familiar in some way, not sure yet. Hello, you must be our sensei, I'm Marcus Uchiha, glad to meet you both." he said warmly. Well, they seem nice enough, but there are usually 3 team members. If my information is right, where is the 3rd team member? Since I am good at ninjutsu, I wonder what their strengths are? "Excuse me, Lord Hokage, but aren't there meant to be 3 team members in each squad? Where then, is our last team member?" he asked with anticipation. Now then, there are 3 options, no 3rd member, later than me or lost.

[Auralady]

Kinata raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment. A trip to the Hot Springs would be nice after a long mission like their previous one. Not to mention with the team on stand by what else could they do? Kinata shrugged, “Allright. if it’ll stop making you as nervous as a genin on his first mission. A trip to the Hot Springs it is. When though? I could be wrong but I don’t think they’re exactly right outside the village. “ All the same Kinata was getting excited already. Not like the kind of nervous adrendaline before a mission….but an eger anticipation. She could already feel the steam from the hot waters hit her and the more she wanted to get there.

 

Roya took a sudden in take of breath when Marcus arrived. She was going to be partners with another Uchila?! Luckily for her it seemed like Marcus didn’t know anything beyond that they were from the same clan and she wanted to keep it that way. Tysukemi looked at Marcus, “Yes. I’m Tysukemi Seni.” ‘Two Uchilia’s on the same team and both Genin. This should be interesting.’, though the older kunochi. Naruto waited untill the three had introduced themselves. “Right. As for your mission: you three will be headed to the Village Hidden in the Sound. We’ve gottten reports lately of a strange group of shinobi lurking around the village. Not to mention people have been disappearing from in and around the Sound village for a couple of days. This coupled with the Hidden Rain’s destruction…..well you see my point. We have to make sure they are not connected.”

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"Good point!" Daichi sat back up. "I haven't got a clue where the nearist hot springs are." He pressed his finger against his temple, trying to think. "Well our next mission is in the land of the waves, seven days from now. There are some hot springs on the way there." A voice came from behind Daichi. "That's a great idea." Daichi exclamed, but it took him a few seconds to realize who the voice belonged too. He jumped up and faced behind him to see Arashi holding Wiz by the head. "It's true that Wiz's transformations are on a high level, but there's no way it can fool a jonin at close range."

Daichi quickly snatched Daichi out of Arashi's hands. "How the heck did you find us? Aren't you suposed to be an idiot!?" Almost before he finished he received a blow to the top of the head by the jonin's fist. "You severely underestimate me. But what about the hot springs?" Daichi had been so surprised about seeing Arashi that he had forgoten about the springs. "Oh right!" Daichi turned to Kinata. "One week from today we head to the hot springs. What do you say?"

[Master Fury]

Marcus listened intently as he took in the details of the mission. He also noticed that the Sound may be waging war on the Rain village. Village conflict, how juvenile, still, it might be worth it if it helps secure peace. Such a shame that methods have to be influenced by people with no acknowledgement of innocents. he thought, considering his options. "I have to ask, why is a rookie genin team to explore unknown territory? Also, this mission may be an ambush, so we may be purposely running into something that may be fatal." Now then, will he explain, or will he continue to bore me with small talk? In any event, I highly doubt we are this experienced to be investigating a possible war. He also wondered why the Hokage neglected to answer his other question about a third genin member.

[Auralady]

Naruto looked at Marcus, "While these disappearences are skechy Marcus I doubt it has anythin gto do with a war with the Rain village. If my guess is right then we are headed for a war allright. But one that will make the last Shinobi War seem like a joke." After a moment of silence the Hokage spoke again. "I am well aware that there are useually three members on a team but...untill further notice...this team has two. Also you have been choosen for this mission for several reasons. One: There have been similer reports like this one from the villages all over the Land of Fire. Simply put this causes our forces to be streached out to the very maximum. Two: Despite what it may seem like this mission is nothing more then to gather information. Suitable for a team of Rookie Genin.", Naruto replied.

 

Kinata turned around when she heared Arashi's voice. The kunochi was glad that the jonn had found the two chunin just talking with each other. She glanced at Diachi, "Maybe We should have used the Shadow Clone and Transformation techniques?", she suggested innocently. Then Kinata looked back at Arashi, "Hey Arashi sensei." Still the bit about going to the Land of Waves did confuse her some. "Sounds great but the Land of Waves? That's where the Village Hidden in the Mist is right? And what about Inro?" Kinata was sure the the Village Hiddn in the Leafs and the Village Hidden in the Mist didn't really see eye-to-eye. Why was Naruto sending them Chunin team there of all places in a week?

[Master Fury]

"Hmm, I suppose I must do it. Roya, Tysukemi Sensei, I will meet you both at the village gate in 20 minutes. Goodbye." he said, before bowing and walking back to his house, where he reflected on his new mission. Ok, so we need to gather information. I guess I need more weaponry. he thought silently before he exited his house and went to a weaponry shop that had recently opened. As he entered the shop, he observed that they had gotten a new brand of kunai, the Arrow Head Kunai. "Excuse me, can I have 4 of the Arrow Head Kunai?" he asked the shopkeeper before paying the money. After that, he bought a couple of extra shuriken and something to mask his identity. When he exited, he had the idea to test it out, so he trained for about 5 minutes at the training grounds. Hmm, seems like this sort of kunai suits me very well...... he though while practicing. Then he packed all his gear in his bag and went to the front gate to wait for his teammates.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"That would have been a good idea." Daichi sighed at Kinata's coment. He listened to Arashi explain the mission. "Inro is actually the reason for the mission." Arashi stated. "We are taking him to the mist village in a week, Hokage's orders. Aparently he thinks Inro will be safer there." Arashi pouted slightly. "Guess Naruto-san doesn't think I'm good enough." This received a blow to the head from Daichi. "Get over it. Stupid." After deciding that he had heard enough of the mission details he turned and picked up Kinata in to his arms and jumped off the mountain. "Wiz!" Wiz jumped after then and tranformed in to a large Eagle to catch them. "Now, to find a place we can be alone."

[Auralady]

Kinata was taken by shock when Diachi picked her up and lept off if the mountain. As a instent reaction the kunochi grabed his neck tightly and closed her eyes. When she opened them again they were on the ground and Kinata loosened her grip. “Daichi Niwa are you crazy!? A little warning would be good next time. And I can walk on my own so you don’t have to carry me.”, she stoped and her voice became calmer after a deep breath. “Ok so mind telling me where we are going then? Even if you’re suddenly going to kidnap me I have a right to know these things.” It wasn't anything childish like the closeness or anything that made Kinata so edgy. It was the sheer fact that it had acted all suddenly without any warning before hand.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"I'm not crazy, I just knew if I jumped off the mountain you would grab my neck." He grinned. "And it worked." He looked back up at the top of the mountain too see Arashi still standing at the top. "I didn't really think about going somewhere, as long as we're away from him. His timing couldn't have been much worse." Wiz returned to his original form and landed in Daichi's arms. "You know, you're not much beddar than Arashi." He said as the small creature clumbed in to his shirt and stayed there. "Just wait. One day im gonna do a belly flow while you're laying there, and it won't feel good."

[Auralady]

Kinata turned red slightly out of embarassment. She turned away and crossed her arms seeming to be upset when she was really trying to hide the red in her face. After a minute Kinata had relaxed more and turned again to face Diachi and Wiz. "So then if you really didn't think about where to go now what? We could try going to the training grounds but senei can easily find us there. We could try the forest as an option. I mean there are a lot of places a shinobi can go or hide in there so it would work better.", Kinata trailed off for a moment now thinking outloud, "But then again sensei or somebody else could still find us there too. Man why does finding a place have to be so hard!? There has to be someplace in the village or around it we can go."

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi thaught about all of the places they could go, but nothing he thaught about could be hidden from Arashi. "Wait, I've got an idea." He whiped his bag in front of him and took out a scroll. "We can go anywhere you want, just name it." He unroled the scroll on the ground and multiple paintings where summoned forth. Each one had a painting of a differant place, a beach, a castle, a snowy area, and multiple others. "Puck one. This would be a great chance to show you my strongest paint style technique." He grines, knowing that a technique like he was planing would definately be impresive.

[Auralady]

Kinata looked at the paintings of the many different locations thoughtfully contemplating each one. Any place she wanted to go..really? She had never had an opportunity like this before, though part of her reminded herself that this was also Diachi showing off. She laughed inwardly at that and shook her head in amusement before thinking about where to go again. Kinata had never really been much of a snow-ice-cold person so the snowy place was a definite no way. The beach would tempet her too much to practice her water jutsus and she just wanted to relax. The castle would be fun to walk around in but she was looking for something relaxing at the moment and peacefull. Finally the young kunochi’s gaze settled on a familier yet fairly relaxing painting and she nodded pleased with it. It was a clearing in what looked like a large forest. “How about there?”, she asked Diachi looking at him. She was still confused how they and Wiz were going to go there when it was just a painting of a place though.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi became slightly depresed when his favorite paintings where rejected, but he did not act on or say anything about it. "Ok, one forest coming right up." He performed a few hand seals and sealed away the rest of the paintings and then set the forest painting out of the way so that nobody would step on it. "Paint demention jutsu." He said as he performed another set of hand seals, causing the paint to swirl in on itself. "Ok, take my hand." He held out his hand for kinata and placed his other hand on the painting, which sucked them up like a portal and they landed in the forest that had been painted on the paper. Daichi had completely missed a tree branch and fell to the ground, Kurei falling directly on top of him. "You need to pay more attention to you footing." Kurei smirked as he got off of Daichi. "Oh well, im just glad to have a little bit of freedome."

Daichi got off the ground and glared. "I'm really starting to hate you Kurei." But this only caused Kurei to smirk even wider. "Only just now? I guess I'm not doing my job right." Daichi ignored this and glanced around for Kinata, he was so used to it that it did not even accor to him to explain about Kurei and Daichi gaining seperate bodies when in the paintings. "So, what do you think?"

[Auralady]

Kinata had landed likewise behind a bush and was now walking towards them dusting herself off. She had leafs in her hair along with some pieces of branch. "Well that landing could have been better.", she admitted though it was kind of obvious, "Who knew painted nature could be just like real nature, but I guess when you pour chakra into it anything is possible. And would you both stop bickering like a pair of genin for once......", he voice trailed off. Yelling was so normal she had completely ignored the fact that Kurai was there WITH Diachi at first. She was a few feet away from Diachi and Kurai when she looked up. Kinata stoped suddenly as her gaze past Diachi and settled on Kurai. For a moment she thought that the two shinobi had switched places on her as she flicked her gaze between the pair. With an eary air of complete calm and composure the kunochi turned towards Diachi smiling warmly. "Diachi Niwa. Did you may be for get to tell me something before we were sucked into the painting?" 'Is it really that sacondary allready?', Kinata thought eyeing both shinobi expectingly.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"What? Is he differant from what you expected?" Daichi asked with a grin. He gave Kurei a quick slap on the back. "He may be bloodthirsty, but as long as We're in here he's just a big softy." This last comment received a blow to the head from Kurei. "I swear I'll kill you one day." Kurei mumbled under his breath. "Besides, I think what she was surprised about is the fact that we are both here at the same time." After recovereing from the punch Daichi looked at Kinata, realizing Kurei was probably right. "The painting I used is a gateway to an alternate demention that I created. I have complete controle here, which is why Kurei has his own body."

[Auralady]

"Alterante world? So you mean this whole place is in a different dimension or universe or something?", Kinata said looking around. "It's really good and everything looks so real.", The kunochi looked around and picked leaf before running in over in her hand. It felt so real it was like it wasn't like paint at all. "Oh and Kurai was right about what I was surprised about. I didn't expect the two of you to be seperate from eachother and I was kind of taken by surprise." She felt like she should keep an eye on the two shinobi whilke they were there but shook her head. She wasn't about to become paranoid that they were going to attack eachother here right in front of her. If they did she would just use a jutsu on them and pull them apart or go on a long rant to distract Kurai. Simple stuff like that. Nothing too terribly difficult. "So how long is the time frame here....just curious.", Kinata asked the two of them.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"It's prety impresive, isn't it? The beddar my painting skills, the more realiztic the demention is." Daichi said pridefully, but this stoped when he heard Kinata's next comment "Time limit?" Daichi and kurei glanced at each other and then back at Kinata. "I've never had to wory about a time limit. So far we've been able to stay in here for just under a month without any trouble. So if there is a time limit, it's longer than a month."

Back in the leaf village Natsumi was walking through the streets, headed to the north gates. She had been following Daichi and Kinata all the way until they disapeared, because she was blind she had no idea what happened to them. "Yokio is not going to be happy about this." A little ways outside the village she saw Yokio siting next to a tree meditating. "You lost them?" He asked calmly, Natsumi noded and Yokio stood up. "It looks like Daichi used his dementional portrait technique. I didn't expect you to be able to track it if he did that."

[Auralady]

"Well if that's the case then I'm surprised you haven't gone after in search of the painting itself.", came the voice of young girl. It was Mizuri who had finally arrived. The others: Aoi, Kyumi and Yonkuro landed behind her. Aoi disappeared and then reappeared sitting cross-legged on a large boulder. Yonkuro and Kyumi leaned up against trees while Mizuri stayed where she was. “Hm I waouldn’t mind meeting this Diachi.”, said Aoi grinning her useuall sly grin. “No Aoi. From what information we have managed to gather Yokio would be best suited to handle him.’, corrected Mizuri. “I don’t see the point really in sending all six of us here if Yokio can asily handle the mission with Natsumi.”, said Kyumi. “But it’s not just him remember? According to the Shadow Ninjas there is a kunochi with him that happens to be skilled in Medical Ninjutsu. Somebody has to hold her off otherwise it’ll be more work then we like.”, pointed out Yonkuro calmly and lazily. “Look you guys we didn’t come here to really help…….we came to check in and then go to the meeting place to wait for their team. If need be we’ll help but it shouldn’t be.”, Mizuri reminded her team before looking at Yokio and Natsumi, "The plans are in motion now and we have confirmation that the Leaf Village took the bait. This team will be at the meeting palace in a week. We get to bring them to him first hand as Mist Village shinobi esscorts. All six here. It seems he didn't think Ryugo and Kayoto leval headed enough to handle that or these missions."

Kinata turned and looked at Diachi and Kurai, “A month wow. If my jutsus revolved around paintings like this I would be here everyday I could.” Then Kinata vaguely remembered something from the mission to the Hidden Rain Village. It was foggy but clear enough for the kunochi to recall it slightly. “Hey Diachi can I ask you something? That painting you were doing on the way to the Hidden Rain Village……what was it of exactly? Another place like this?” If Diachi wasn’t going to tell her then she’d just ask Kurai.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"So you guys get to act as escourts? Sounds fun, too bad I won't be able to tag along." Tokio said as he stood up and streiched his legs. He hoped that he would not have to explain the reason he could not go, being an S-level ninja from the leaf village, as well as an old friends of Daichi Niwa, went he would be easily spoted, even if he wore an ANBU mask. This was the verry same reason that he stayed outside the leaf village, if he tried to sneak in to the leaf village he would have every ninja in the leaf after him and the mission would have failed almost before it started.

 

"What was I painting?" At first Daichi had no idea what Kinata was talking about, but when he finaly remembered his face turned bright red. "Oh that... It was...It was just some tree's that where in the background." Kurei smirked, having found a good way to play a joke on Daichi. "Why don't you just tell her the truth, you where drawing a painting of her, because you're in love with her." He said this last part with a fake flirty voice which caused Daichi's face to become as red as a tomato. "One of these days im going to kill you Kurei."

[Auralady]

Kinata laughed shaking her head and sighing before walking over to the two chunin. She grabed each of their wrists still laughing with a grin on her face. “Yeah I know about that already. I mean really now, “, she glanced at Diachi, “Picking me up and jumping off of the Hokage Images with me? Taking me out to eat? Rushing to my rescue when those Shadow Ninja snuck up on me at the Village Hidden in the Rain?” The young kunochi giggled and looked at the other two shinobi, “You were basically telling me without saying anything.” She grabbed both Diachi’s and Kurai’s wrist, “Now don’t make me have to babysit you guys allright? Come on and let’s check this place out!” She started to drag them through the painted forest.

“Well I guess I would be best not to reveal who you are too early on in the game. It’ll take away all the fun after all and it’ll jepordize the mission.”, Aoi agreed, “Too bad I can’t meet him though…..I could use a new style of jutsu after all. It’s been such a long time since I’ve added one to my collection.”, she grinned darkly. ‘Well it’s not like they can stay in there for ever Aoi. The most they can stay in that painting is a few days given the fact that they took the bait.”, Yonkuro pointed out. “Yonkuro’s right. But given the information it is very likely that all of us will be needed to either retrieve or kill the boy once they arrive at the village.”, Mizuri added.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi's smiled lightly. "Guess my mind is like an open book. So easy to read, especialy when im not trying to hide anything." Daichi followed Kinata without any resistance, but Kurei easily pulled free of Kinata's hand and stepped back. "If you dont mind, I think I'll go kill some bears, or something, around here. I've been here so many times I know it like the back of my hand." He turned around and jumped in to the tree's and left in the opposite direction. Daichi decided not to mention the fact that, because he drew it, he wasn't likely to run in to any surprises. "My favorite thing about this place is I don't have to wory about that guy barging in when he's not wanted Daichi reajusted his hand so that his hand was wraped around Kinata's, rather than her grabing his wrist. "Finaly, some real alone time. No Kurei."

[Auralady]

Kinata walked with Diachi, "You know as your model I would liek to see the painting you did of me. I mean if you painted this place then my picture couldn't ne as bad as you think." She let her fingers brush a bush as she passed it glancing at it out of the corner of her eye. She knew going to explore the painting was useless considering Diachi was the one that painted it in the first place. Meaning that he knew pretty much every nook and crany in the world they were in now. Still, what else was she sapposed to say? The two chunin were basically exploring the painting after all as they walked around. She sighed, "So now what? We're just going to walk around here for a time right? Not that I have any problems with that of course. I was just wondering if thats what you were thinking about doing........it's nice just walking around."

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"We can do whatever you want. Didn't I tell you, I can controle the elements in these area's." He waved his hand over an area in the bush that Kinata walked by and a rose sprouted. He plucked it out of the bush and placed it in Kinata's hair. "It's beddar than genjutsu because it's all completely real, and yet I can do almost anything I want, with a few limitations of course." He smiled lightly. "Sometimes I wish I could live here, but the food in here tastes too much like paint." He laughed at his last comment. "The one downfall."
