Years Later (Naruto RP) (started and accepting)

[-Genesis-]

<Sorry I took so long, I've been really busy. Also Visser you do know that it's impossible for a water clone to go more than 8 meters from the original or they'll collapse back into just water right?>

 

Shei ran up behind Roya and grabbed her by the shoulder to stop her, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. Even if we are seen by them I'll just use my ability. What we need to do is wait and make our move when most of them have their guard is down. Then I'll get in close or simply jump in at them and use my ability, all you have to do is make sure you are just outside the radius distance between me and them and you won't be affected. It's an unavoidable ability, and since it's one of a kind they won't have any idea what I'm going to do, so basically I'll tell you where to stand so that you won't be affected. Once I use it, you'll then have five seconds in which every living creature in that radius of me other than myself is frozen in time. The thing is that after activating the ability anything can enter that space unless I use it again. During that five seconds you need to run up, grab the kid and get as far as you can. To them it will seem as though I showed up and the kid disappeared into thin air. This power is the reason why Lady Kasumi uses me as an assassin, because I can freeze the target in their tracks, kill them, and then disappear without anyone knowing what happened. But despite the many uses of my power, my heart stops when I activate it, making it so that if I use it consecutively, it can be very dangerous, as well as the fact that my ability doesn't affect things like thrown weapons. So you'll need to get far, then I'll retreat and use my ability again if necessary. Understand. I asked for help because it would be difficult for me to carry the kid, use my ability and if necessary stop thrown weapons. That was my plan from the start." Shei then smirked, *With Roya around this should work out quite easily as long as I don't have to use my ability consecutively, or over massive space.*

 

 

Kasumi was bored again and left the main hall. After a bit she then walked into one of her workrooms and started going through some of her data there when she found one which made her smile, "I almost forgot about this...... the plans for to recruit the rogue Kotaro and to have him eliminate a group of simple rogues who're using one of the late Orochimaru's leftover hideouts. I was surprised that they found it in the first place, but no matter. I should have Kotaro soon and then I will get him to work on it, and it's in the Land of Lightning, one of the few places that I don't have a place to go. But as soon as I have Kotaro, I'll have something to do." Kasumi then turned and left the workroom. She then disappeared, reappeared outside on the summit of the mountain. She walked over to the cliff side of the mountain, sat down, and looked down on the ruins of Amegakure in the distance, "I wonder how Shei and Roya are doing? Oh well i can at least watch from here, if there's any REAL fighting, then I'll see it."

Harumi and Sorin arrived just as Naruto and some other Leaf shinobi spread out to search the forest. Sorin chewed his lip for a second then whipped out a scroll and drew a bird, "Super Beasts Imitation Picture (Art of the Cartoon Beast Mimicry)" suddenly the bird flew off the paper and headed back to the Black Ops Station. *That'll get me three two person ANBU squads to search in Naruto's place.* Then he turned to Harumi, "Follow me." With that he leapt off the roof and ran after Naruto until they caught up to him. Sorin then leapt ahead of Naruto to make him stop, "Lord Hokage! It is I, Tengi, I apologize for stopping you, but you have other responsibilities such as the mission you assigned to me but did not inform me about. I have already ordered the release of three two man ANBU squads to search the area in your place. Is that satisfactory?"

 

 

Harumi just stood there behind Sorin watching, *So this is the Hokage? He's much different from what I expected, but no matter, I just have to listen to him inform me of the mission.* She stood there silently watching feeling bored all the while.

[Auralady]

((I'm going to have them form a team with Jinn-Tu since Zaraii is going to die.))

 

Naruto ndded. "Excellent Tengi and I do have a mission for you. I've sent The Ghost out to back up a team I sent to investigate the destruction of the Hidden Rain earlier today. I need you to go out and form a team with him. Apparently rouges have taken some kind of special interest in the village. The team ran into a bit of trouble with a group of strong rouges on the way to the village. The rouges had apperently been searching for something but didn't find it. I have a theory but we need more information before we can be sure if it's true or not. If it is we're in for a big fight but we have to be sure." He noticed Harumi, "You must be the shinobi the Mizukage sent."

 

Roya looked at Shei and nodded. "Right. I got it." Roya realized this was a risky move but they didn't have much of a choice. They needed to get that boy back to Kasumi. But then she rememberd their abilities and was reassured again.

[Guest Random Dude]

"I really don't know what it is you want to do coming here to Amegakure, and I don't care to find out. All I know is that I'm to kill anyone who attempts to enter the territory." Kotaro said as he made himself visible, it could be seen that he was holding a dead man, but closer inspection showed that he had his hand through the man's chest.

 

"who are you?" said the young Genin, Zaraii.

 

"I am Kotaro Fuma, formerly from this village. I was hired to investigate what happened here and I find a Genin and a wolf. Though I would prefer not to kill you, I will have to make an exception since I was hired to kill anyone else attempting to investigate. Don't take it personally, It's my job." he said as he threw the corpse away.

 

"I'll show you!" Shouted Zaraii.

 

"No, don't!" said the wolf.

 

Kotaro sidestepped Zaraii and closed his fist, there was a quick surge of electricity on his hand. "Zeus!" he punched Zaraii in the chest and drove his armored fist through the stone covering his body and buried his hand in the boy's chest. He took the boy with his other hand and put him down. He closed the boy's eyes and walked away, then he remembered the wolf. "How come you haven't disappeared yet? I thought that summoned beasts went back to where they came from once their summoner died."

 

"The boy didn't summon me, my summoner is a jonin, hes somewhere in the forest fighting someone."

 

"Take the boy to him and tell him who it was that killed his Genin, hopefully someday he will come o take his revenge."

 

"Alright," the wolf said, Kotaro picked up Zaraii and placed him on the wolf's back. The wolf left and took Zaraii. Kotaro looked at him and walked into the center of the area where the village used to be. He looked down and picked up a small round gem, blood red in color. He had found what he was looking for. He turned and ran to the west, he looked at the small object in his hand and smiled to himself.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

A turtle shell flew onto the ground of the mountain summit and rolled all the way to the feet of a woman and then spun for a bit and finally laid flat. A small head and small legs and arms came out of the shell and the turtle looked around to see that he made it to his destination and to the person he needed. "Gurrrrrgle." The turtle sounded off and his head went back into his shell and a report popped out of the shell along with the turtles head again. "Gurgle." The report was merely explaining that the attack on Konoha was a success.

 

~~~

 

Vayne stopped on a tree branch about two miles from the village. "Damn...must a lost him." He said and then turned back towards the village. "I'll warn Naruto to beef up the gate security." Vayne then started hopping branches all the way back to Konoha...

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

<I'm not even going to coment on that. Don't want it to turn in to an arguement.>

 

While Arashi was heading back to the meeting place he realised something verry important. "Crap, I dont know where the meeting place is." He stoped and looked around just as Daichi landed next to him. "Hey sensei, need some help?" Arashi laughed embarrassingly. "I don't suppose you know where the others are, do you?" Daichi tried again, one again in vain, to get the rain out of his hair. "Well, I don't know where Kinata is. But me and wiz share a conection, so I can find him no problem. Kinata will probably be waiting with Wiz." He grunted again as rain continued to soak his head. "I guess we beddar get going." Daichi headed to where Wiz and Kinata where, and Arashi followed him. "Hey, Miss me?" Daichi smiled and held his arms out for a hug. Wiz emediatly transformed in to his normal form and flew in to Daichi's arms. "I was actually Talking to Kinata, but I guess I can't tell him that." Daichi thaught as he huged the small creature and pet his head. He then looked over to the child. "We should get him out of the rain. He'll get sick." He alowed Wiz to jump from his arms, transform back in to a large dog, and use his fur to warm the child. "Wiz can't hold a transformation while he's asleep, so having him stay like that wont work."

{Summoned Beast: Zen-Aku's location}

 

-Landing upon a tree not far from Jinn-Tu's location; Zen-Aku jumped down onto the wet grassy area. His gaze shifted around for any hostiles around the area. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary. No strange chakra showing through of any kind. The only one that the wolf creature managed to sense was Jinn-Tu and Chizaru dueling about the area. Lowering his head down he laid Zaraii's motionless body onto the ground. Throwing his body side-to-side; Zen-Aku shook off the water that had gathered within his fur during their travel to meet with Arashi's team.-

 

"Now that I got Zaraii close to Jinn-Tu; I think it is about time I go introduce myself to Arashi's team."

 

Be careful, Jinn-Tu.

 

-Shortly after Zen-Aki disappeared in a sudden blur away from Zaraii's body. Only sometime soon would Jinn-Tu meet up with Arashi's team and find Zaraii's body in the process. For now his main goal was to get to Arashi before it was to late.-

 

-Quickly, he jumped through the trees; the rain seemed to be coming down much harder now, but that did not bother Zen-Aku. His quick actions and ability to sense the chakra and enemies and allies. The sensation of Arashi's team and even Arashi was not that hard to miss. His nose never lied; he was coming in really close to the team and their current location which would not be much farther.-

 

Jinn-Tu and Chizaru

 

-Considering how well Jinn-Tu knew Chizaru; it would not be any more difficult to fight with taijutsu? In fact, Jinn-Tu was well equipped and prepared with taijutsu. Considering that he had trained in the Hyuga's most promising style of combat known as the Gentle Fist technique. Knowing Chizaru there was a good chance that he knew more about him and trained even more to get stronger. Without even as to much as a second thought Chizaru launched forward toward Jinn-Tu. The speed behind his movements was nothing more then impressing. Jinn-Tu almost could not catch his movements, but his expertly trained eyes where able to catch a hold of them. Jinn-Tu prepared himself as Chizaru quickly closed in the gap between the two.... coming in with taijutsu.-

[Auralady]

Kinata saw Diachi and Arash. She smiled, "Hey over here! These buildings are in good enough shape to spend the night." Kinata walked over and bent down. She picked Inro up carefully and carried him inside on of the buildings. Then she set him down in a corner but was gentle so he wouldn't wake up. She nodded pleased she had managed to move him without waking him. She pulled a small cover out of he rbag and covered the still sleeping boy with it. After making sure that the boy was ok one last time she walked back over to Arashi and Diachi. She yawned a little bit but shook it off. She smiled again. "Ok then. So. Now who wants to take first look out this time? And Daichi, you should get out of the rain. You're soaked. But then again we all are.", she asked flicking her gaze between the two of them and wringing out her hair. If neither of the guys volenteered for first look out duty then Kinata would take it. Otherwise she would sleep by the boy to keep and eye on him while she slept. She knew she was fine with either choice and waited for Arashi and Diachi to answer.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"I'll take the first watch." Daichi volunteered as he stepped in to the building. "I have to stay up so I can fix up these scrolls so they can be used in the rain. Otherwise I won't be much use if any real opponents show up." He once again ran his hands through his hair, this time successfully getting a large portion of the water out. It was at this point that he realized that his clothes where soaked. "Oh boy." He knew that even ninja where not immune to catching colds, especially when wearing wet clothes at night time. "I'm way ahead of you Daichi." Arashi pulled out his water sword, which didn't actually look like a sword because it had no blade. After a few waves of the handle all of the water had left all of there clothes and flew outside.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Vayne landed back in front of Naruto within a few minutes of his leaving. "I followed his trail as far as it would take me, he was just to far ahead of us and I couldn't find him." Vayne than bought his hand to the ground and closed his eyes, he then pulsed some chakra into the ground and after another few moments, opened his eyes again. "There doesn't seem to be any foreign chakra left, could the rouges have all exploded just like the ones we defeated?" Vayne stood up and then saw the destruction at The Hokage's building. "Naruto, your building has a large hole in it!" He said and then saw the same at the hospital. "The rouges must've all sacrificed themselves to do heavy damage to the village..." Vayne theorized as he ran over to the hospital to see if anyone needed help.

[Auralady]

"Ok then, I guess I'll se yeah in the mrning. Night.", Kinata set up a place to sleep by the boy and layed down. Though her eyes were closed her senses were well alert. (--time lapse to later that night--) KInata found herself laying awake next to the boy fully awake. So she made sure Arashi was still asleep and Diachi didn't notice she was up. She madew the hand sign and whispered, "Shadow Clone jutsu." When the clone appeared in her place asleep Kinata lept silently to the roof. Then she lept back to the ground and started walking arounf the village. As she walked her sunconsious drifted to Diachi. SHe stopped surprosed. 'Why didI just think about Diachi? OF the the things to think about now? Could I be...?' She shook her head to clear her thoughts. 'No. We're friends and collegues yes. But anything else no.' Still KInata had the feeling that somewhere along the line she had fallen for her teamate during the mission. Kinata lept up onto the nearest roof and sat down on it looking over the ruined village. Not forgetting the chakras from earlier she stayed alert.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi ran his fingers along a scroll that was opened up in front of him, after a few seconds chakra spread out through the scroll before being absorbed in to it. When he was finished Daichi he stood up, having just finished coating the last of his scrolls with chakra to protect from the rain. "Time to give these things a test run." He stepped out in the rain and placed the open scroll on the wet ground. "So far so good." He placed his hand on the ground and, after a cloud of smoke, a painting of a lion. He performed a few hand sighs ans then reached in to the painting, his hand wrapped around the lions body and Daichi pulled the lion out of the picture. When it was out the lion was full size and sat right next to Daichi, the rain pouring down his fur. "Epic!" Daichi cheered and pet the lions head for a moment before placing the large cat back in to the picture and the picture back in to the scroll. "Now I have nothing to worry about if I get in to a fight tomorrow.

[Warrior_Tal]

{Summoned Beast: Zen-Aku}

 

-The trail was now warmer then ever hopped to be; Zen-Aku could pick up the sensation practically with his eyes closed and his nose wide open. He was like a ninja hound, but only better. He was a wolf creature with the training capable of finding Jinn-Tu; if he was captured. Even in the rain; Zen-Aku could tell where exactly Jinn-Tu was. Landing upon a tree; the wolf creature quickly shook off the water. Only shortly after did more of the rain begin to soak him up again. Shifting his eyes around the area he took in the area. Everything seemed the same for the former Hidden Rain Village. Zen-Aku had only been here twice when it was still a village, but this time around he felt all the more bad for whoever did this to this village. Catching up on a sent; he jumped off the tree and landed on the ground rushing off towards Arashi's sent.-

 

Not much farther now?

 

-Travel seemed short; Zen-Aku came to a stop shaking the water once more from his fur. The rain continueing it down pour. That was what the Village Hidden in the Rain was famous for it seemed. Slowly, he approached the entrance to where the team under Arashi was resting up for the night. Even with the clouds over the ruins of the village there was still the act that one could not tell night from day in these kind of conditions.

 

"Arashi? Are you in there....."

 

Jinn-Tu and Chizaru

 

-The Hyuga jonin jumped back onto a tree after blocking another taijutsu strike from the Uchiha.... Chizaru. Jinn-Tu specialty with the Hyuga's Gentle Fist combat style was dead on. However, due to his experience with Chizaru; the Uchiha knew all to well the type of attacks that Jinn-Tu would be using. His eyes focused in on Chizaru who jumped back next to a tree on the ground. The man looked up wit a grin on his face mixed with focused eyes as well. Neither of their kekkei genkai was currently active, and normally the Gentle Fist combat style was most effective when Jinn-Tu had his Byakugan active. Clearing his throat the Hyuga looked down upon his old friend who seemed to of laugh out about the fighting thus far.-

 

"You have not changed Jinn-Tu, have you?" -Chizaru questioned standing up straight.-

 

"What are you talking about?"

 

"You are still using that weak Hyuga taijutsu; the Gentle Fist. I'd expected better from an old teammate of mine."

 

"You know well that the Gentle Fist style works best when the Byakugan is active."

 

"The all seeing White Eye; more like the White Eye that can't see."

 

"It's no different then the Sharingan, Chizaru."

 

"Should we put that to the test then?"

 

-Jinn-Tu stood up straight looking at his old friend. The kekkei genkai of both the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan were now about to face off against each other. Jinn-Tu had a feeling this was something that Chizaru was wanting for a long time now. Simply the act of the Sharingan would be going up against the Byakugan. Either dojutsu could break in this fight.-

 

-Exhaling a breath of air Jinn-Tu closed his eyes for a brief moment; no more then a fraction of a second later his eyes opened with veins bulging from his temples and the pupils now more visible. The Byakugan was now active. Chizaru chuckled not even closing his eyes. Within the same amount of time his Sharingan finally activated revealing a three tome seal showing it was at its fullest potiental. Jinn-Tu looked upon his friend within the eyes although it did seem like a mistake, because Uchiha had a capability of using genjutsu. However, he knew that Chizaru was not a genjutsu user.-

 

Let's hope this will not end badly.

 

"Now lets see which kekkei genkai reigns?"

 

-Jumping from the tree; Jinn-Tu sprinted towards Chizaru who also did the very same thing. With respective kekkei genkai active it was now a matter of who would come out on top.-

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi had just finished placing the last of his, now waterproof, scrolls in to his vest pockets when he heard Zen-Aku call out. Daichi immediately grabbed a kunai from his leg holster and turned to face him. "Arashi is sleeping, so you'll have to talk to me." He tightened his grip on the kunai, having never seen Zen-Aku before Daichi had no way of knowing if he was friend or foe. "Who are you and why are you here?" In the background Arashi turned around on the floor and let out a small snore. "How the hell did that guy ever become a jonin?" Daichi thought for the 100th time sense meeting Arashi.

[Warrior_Tal]

((ooc- This will be just the Summoned Beast: Zen-Aku))

 

{Summoned Beast: Zen-Aku}

 

One of Arashi's students?

 

-Zen-Aku thought; his eyes shifting down to the sleeping sensei within the cave. Looks like he was not going to strike a conversation with Arashi until the morning. The message that Zen-Aku was carrying concerned that back-up had arrived for Arashi's team in the form of an ANBU operative. An operative who was facing off against his former friend Chizaru Uchiha. The wolf creature raised an eyebrow before sitting down.-

 

"Put that thing away before you poke somebodies eye out." -Zen-Aku quickly said.- "I am not your enemy. I am a friend sent here to deliver a message for Arashi."

 

-His gaze shifted back over to the sleeping sensei once more. It seemed a little odd that Arashi had no waken up yet. What would occur if a fight broke down while he was asleeep. Looking back over to the genin student; Zen-Aku wondered if he should tell him the message of back up was here or wait for Arashi to wake up to explain the details of the message.-

 

I could wait, but then again.... I don't see why I can hold off if there are eyes and ears in certain locations that would be watching us?

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi lowered the kunai a few inches, but not completely. He walked in to the house and kicked Arashi lightly with his foot. "Sensei, somebody is here to see you." Arashi barely moved. "Sensei?" Daichi knelled down and poke Arashi in the chest a few times. "You mean that you're....." In mid sentence Daichi transformed in to Kurei and grabbed Arashi by the shirt. "ACTUALLY SLEEPING!!!" Kurei then threw Arashi out of the already broken wall and on to the already wet ground. "You call yourself a jonin?! I was actually hoping that maybe you where just faking the sleep!" Arashi pulled his face out of the mid and wiped it clean with his hands. "What would be the point of faking sleep?" Arashi then noticed Zen-Aku. "Can I help you?"

[Auralady]

Kinata sat on the roof looking out over the village. 'Guess my clone's working.', she thought. Of course she planned to head back soon. KInata ran the risk of falling asleep out here andthen possibly woorying her team. Kinata was abut to go back when something cought her eye. SHe lept to a neighboring roof just as the roof she was just on exploded into flames..

 

They used the cover of the night and the shadows cast by the fire to camoflauge themselves. They were completely silent and slightly faster then a normal ninja. They even looked like normal ninja though genjutu, few taijutsu and normal weapons had no effect on them. Only a few taijuts, ninjutsu and weapons filled with chakra could effect them. They threw barages of weapons at the chunin. They had reconized her being with the boy earlier. They had returned for the boy...their orders were clear....leave no survivors. Which ment this girl and anyone else shewas with had to go to.

 

One of the barages cought Kinata off gaurd. She fell to a knee bleeing but grinning. Now, at least, she knew where to aim her jutsu. She completed the hand sings, "Water style! Water whip!" Kinata cought the ninja and grinned. "Paralyzing Palm!" The lightning chakra traveled from her hand, down the stream of water and struck the ninja she had cought. The ninja came out into the light of the burnig building and Kinata stared at it. "Whats going on?" She couldn't take her eyes of the ninja. HE seemed to be real but at the same time made of shadows.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

While Kurei was busy being angry, Daichi, who was seeing everything kurei did, noticed that the spot where Kinata was supposed to be sleeping was empty. "Hey, where's..." Before Daichi could finish they all heard the explosion from outside. "K-kinata!? Kurei, Kinata is being attacked, help her!!" Daichi ordered. Without even giving Kurei time to react Daichi forced his way back to the surface, ran outside, and over to where he heard the explosion.

Arashi sat in the mid and watched Daichi run off. "I think I'll leave this to him. If he needs me he'll call." He returned his gaze to Zen-Aku. "You where saying?"

[Auralady]

'These things are fast and using the shadows to hide themselves in.They're smart too but clearly not human. Someone must have summoned them...but who and why? They're probly only effected by certain jutsus to.' Wanting to test her theory Kinata pumped a pair of shurikan full of chakra with one hand and tossed it at the ninja. A kunei wized through the air and cought the pair in mid air before pinning them to a wall. She turned her head to see two other ninja, "Great.", she hissed. Realizing her only choice was to release the ninja from her jutsu. Due to the weather Kinata chose to resort to her lightning, water and normal jutsus. "A Thousend Bolts!", she called completeting a hand sign. Lightning bolts lit up the sky above the village. Three of the larger bolts struck each of the three shadow ninjas and they fell just like any other ninja would.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi stopped in his tracks when he saw a flash of lightning bolts raining from the sky. "Note to self. Don't piss off Kinata." Daichi had no doubt that the lightning was one of the techniques in Kinata's arsenal, so he new she was all right for now. "I can't rely on Wiz this time, good thing I came prepared." He grabbed a set of shuriken from his ninja pouch and strengthened then with his wind chakra. As he got closer to the building that the lightning had hit he jumped up on the roof a few buildings away. "Your hero has arrived." Daichi said trying to look cool, but then he noticed that the ninja where already, by the looks of it, beaten. "So much for saving the day." He mumbled to himself, his face turning red. "You okay Kinata?"

[Auralady]

Kinata grinned removing a shurikan wincing. "Yeah. I'm allright and only because I have a feeling I wasn't their main target. So I am sure you'll be able to fight them again soon.", she walked over to the three ninjas. "But thse things are not normal ninjas. They act like any ninja but look what they're made of. It's like shadows or black smoke. That means that someone summoned them but I can't detect any forieign chakra." 'I wonder if sensei knows?', she thought. She removed anouther shurikan wincing slightly again. This was why she hated hated using ninja tools. They were crude and if it missed and bounced off something then they could hit the thrower or an ally by mistake on the rebound. As Kinata tossed the last kunei on the ground she suddenly stumbled. Cursing the shadow ninjas she grabed onto the nearest thing for sapport..the wall. 'Of course I have to be injured in front of Diachi.', she hissed silently. "Hey wait a minute.", she looked around with one hand on the wal stil, "Where's sensei?"

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Daichi looked around, he had not actually realized until this point that Arashi was not with him. "I don't really know. I don't even remember him coming with me to check out what happened. I guess he stayed behind to talk to the wolf-thing." He walked over to kinata and put his arm under hers to help her stay up. "You really shouldn't go running off like that all the time. If you keep making me worry about you then I'll have to tie you up at night." He laughed, trying to forget about the fact that they where being attacked by ninja's made out of shadows. "Lets get back. If those things go after Arashi then it could be trouble if he has to protect the kid also." Daichi's reason for saying this had a lot to do with forgetting that Arashi was supposed to be a jonin, and therefore very strong.

[Warrior_Tal]

((ooc- I had a pot typed up, but I accidentally hit the 'X' button and my browser closed. I did not feel like typing it again, but here is my post.))

 

{Summoned Beast: Zen-Aku}

 

-The summoned wolf's eyes shifted as Arashi's student rushed off in the distance. His eyebrow raised only slightly noticing that Arashi did not bother to stand up and go help his students out. Trust must of been with his students to handle what ever had happened. That was something that Zen-Aku had never seen with that Hyuga. He was an ANBU member, and really never saw him in a trust-worthy situation before. Either way it was good to know that this Jonin sensei held a trust with his own students. Jinn-Tu seemed to be as such when he sent Zaraii and himself to meet up with Arashi and explain the situation.-

 

"Well," -Clearing his throat to continue.- "The message you sent back to the Hidden Leaf was received by the Hokage."

 

Although I do wish that the team was a little bigger to of sent.

 

-Zen-Aku couldn't help but sigh; Zaraii had been killed and now the only person who Arashi had as back up was an ANBU jonin. Well at least some back-up was better then no back-up at all. ANBU members held a lot of respect, and Jinn-Tu was one of thos ANBU who could take a foe down without the use of his Byakugan.-

 

"The hokage sent out a two man squad to aid your team as back up. The two man squad consist of an ANBU jonin and a once Hidden Rock Village genin that was killed not far back. Right now though the ANBU who summoned me is facing off against an old friend and told me that he will meet up with you as soon as he could."

 

-Eventhough it did not seem as to much as back-up; Zen-Aku held a good amount of experience with Jinn-Tu to tell that he would not be much longer.-

 

{Jinn-Tu and Chizaru}

 

-The ANBU Hyuga felt his body being pushed back into a tree. A slam before he fell to the ground just as Chizaru's body did the same thing. Each were fighting with the same amount of tactics that were used when they trained together. Jinn-Tu's eye shifted upward forcing his Byakugan to remain active. His eyes shifted over Chizaru's body several times. Because of the power of the Byakugan, Jinn-Tu could tell that Chizaru was growing tired. Even with the Sharingan active it took a lot out of an individual to perform these kind of jutsu while keeping it active. Slowly Jinn-Tu used the tree for support and stood up. The rain continued in on a down pour dripping off of the black hat that he wore keeping his face dry.-

 

This has to end so I can go meet with Zen-Aku and Arashi's team.

 

"We are evenly matched, Jinn-Tu?"

 

-Jinn-Tu's eyes focused in on his old friend. The Uchiha with the sharingan had trained for a good time to match his own skills with that of a Hyuga. The different techniques they were using were deprived from Hyuga and Uchiha clan's. The Gentle Fist fighting style and the Fire techniques. It was a battle to see which one would crack. Taking moderate breaths; Jinn-Tu looked up noticing his friend coming in for a strike with one of his swords. Pushing off against a tree; Jinn-Tu threw his palm out with only his pointer and middle finger revealed.-

 

"Let's see who will bleed first."

 

-They both came in fast, and then suddenly stopped. Blood spit out onto the wet ground. Upon sight; Chizaru's sword sunk into Jinn-Tu's left shoulder while the Hyuga's right hand pierced a chakra point on Chizaru's left shoulder. The two struck each other enough to get a good point across.-

 

-However, Chizaru simply smirked pulling the sword out of Jinn-Tu's shoulder. Lifting it up he looked over the blood of the Hyuga before placing it back in it's holder. The Uchiha rolled his shoulder back and turned away from him.-

 

"I could kill you now, but that injury is a mark of not only myself, but what you will go through soon enough."

 

-In a flash of light Chizaru had disappeared leaving the Hyuga behind. Jinn-Tu moved his hand over gripping his shoulder; the blood slithered down his black cloak as the rain continued to drench his attire. Exhaling a breath of air; he knew this would not be the last time that he saw Chizaru. There would be other chances to fight and defeat him if necessary. Forcing his Byakugan to activate once more he scanned ahead for were Arashi and Zen-Aku was. Picking up on their trail he disappeared jumping into trees towards where the meeting was.-

"An ANBU jonin? Well it's probably more than what we needed, so everything is good. Has anybody informed the Hidden rock village that one of there ninja was killed in action? I'm sure there gonna want to retrieve the body, or something." Arashi stood up and walked back inside, once again using his sword to remove the water from his clothes. "It's kind of disappointing having an ANBU help with this mission. I know he's strong, but from what I know they aren't very experienced with missions involving protection. And right now we have to keep this kid safe if somebody attacks us."

"The killing of this genin happened after meeting with an old friend. So no. No word has been said to the Hidden Rock Village of one of their own being killed."

 

They will probably find out sooner or later.

 

-Standing up; Zen-Aku followed Arashi into the small cavern. His gaze shifted over to the small boy that sat there sleeping. The rain continued pouring down outside. However, Zen-Aku did not want to shake the water off as it would wake up the boy. His gaze shifted back over to Arashi. Clearing his throat he looked up to him.-

 

"True, but the hokage requested him specifically to come and help you guys. He has a well found skill in tracking and protection. I'm pretty sure he could help protect this boy just fine."

"A genin? Dying at a young age is never good." Arashi waved the handle to his sword and the water on Zen-Aku's fur flew out the entrance to the building. "I'll take your word for it. Not like I have much choice." He picked up his sleeping bag, which had been flung across the room when Kurei had thrown him out the door, and he placed it back where he had been sleeping. "Thank you for the message. You can return to help your friend fight or you can stay here and wait for him. But if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go back to sleep." He lay down on his bag and closed his eyes.
