Naruto RPG: Shinobi Chronicles ( Approaching Menace Arc | IC Thread )

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Kirimono watched as the ANBU took Chizu away. He was glad for the miracle, but didn't expect for him too do it. He looked at the tag he now possessed in his hand. It was still usable, but he wasn't sure how many more times. He also felt relieved; relieved that the Nine-Tails chakra had finally left him, for it had weakened him greatly. He now feels he's in a good-enough condition to continue on with his life, for now. "Lord Hashimaru...?" he began. But he was lost with words. He didn't know what to say next. Although, he's not sure if he should say anymore. He then sighed with sorrow, even though he knows that Chizu will be alright.

[Magnet Soldier]

Kazuki sighed and placed his Kunai and Shuriken away. He turned to face Kirimono and gave a weak and uncomfortable smile before shaking his head and looking in the direction Hanzo had disappeared to, his Shikra disactivating as he turned. He exhaled sharply, shivering. Never had he felt so much power, so much hatred, thrown before. Even as he had fought Amagai, his anger and Power had been miniscule compared to that Chizu had just released now. Although Chizu was normally the weakest - although one of the most valuable - member of their group, now both Kazuki and Kirimono knew that they'd probably never be able to stand up to her. Not if she released the Kyuubi. And Hanzo....Hanzo was.....well, terrifying. Kazuki had always thought of himself as strong - and he had been, and was one of the most Talented Drecel Members ever - but he hadn't been able to touch Hanzo at all, and his genjutsu had been useless. If Hashimaru hadn't arrived when he did.......Kazuki couldn't Imagine it. He was shaken and tired, and felt as though he was going to fall, face down into the dirt right there and then. However, on the front, as always, he was calm and uneffected by anything that had happened. He sighed again and turned to face Kirimono once more. "We better get home. We've had an Eventful day." Kazuki said, grabbing Kirimono and lifting his arm over Kazuki's shoulder. "I doubt you'll have miraculously recovered, eh?" Kazuki joked, smiling, as he dashed away with Kirimono towards their homes.

[Champster]

[[u]Kirimono Murusaga[/u]]

Hashimaru smiled at Kirimono, an attempt to reassure him. He soon after instructed the boy to return home and rest. Everyone required it after this long, somewhat exciting, yet frustrating day. And by simply the looks of it, the Hokage seemed pretty tired himself, despite the fact that he didn't do much. Although, Kirimono suspected it had something to do when Chizu, covered with the Nine-Tail's Demon chakra during the time, was held down by some unknown force that kept her from rampaging. He seemed curious to know what it was, but eventually shrugged it off when Kazuki approached him. A light smile appeared on Kirimono's face when Kazuki said something jokingly, and with some help from his fellow teammate, Kazuki and Kirimono made their made to his house where he would most likely rest. Or return to whatever he does during his free time. "[i]Chizu..."[/i] He uttered, though Kazuki couldn't hear him. It was a silent whisper, pondering whether she'd be really safe. The man, namely Hanzo, somehow found her after all these years. Fourteen years since that incident with her parents. She was obviously a target, and Kirimono needed to be ready if should the man attempt to capture her. But for now, resting was the best choice at the moment. Eventually, they arrived outside his house and was told to rest easy by Kazuki. Kirimono turned and proceeded to enter his small home, and without a simple farewell or any other words, closed the door behind him. "Home at last" He thought.

[[u]Kazuki Nameni[/u]]

Hashimaru merely nodded at Kazuki when he mentioned returning back home, and soon after ordered the remaining ANBU to search for any and other intruders within the village. He didn't trust that man, this [i]Hanzo[/i] individual, at all. Not after what he pulled during the Chuunin Exams. Things, the way they turned out to be, would be different now. But Kazuki shrugged it off and continued along with Kirimono. Everyone required rest after what happened and what they been through. Still, he couldn't help but ponder at Hanzo's words and what he said regarding the ninja world required to be [i]purged[/i] -- A threat, obviously, to the entire Five Great Shinobi Villages and what they believed in. With a silent and relief sigh, he finally arrived outside Kirimono's house and instructs his fellow teammate to rest. With a simple nod from Kirimono, he enters and soon after closes his door shut without any words. Kazuki immediately turned and leaps upwards onto the rooftops before making his way back home. Despite his attempts to attack that man, Kazuki felt useless and required further training before he could even stand a chance against him. He suddenly felt the winds blowing viciously, another coming storm later to unfold. This time, he needed to be ready. Upon arrival of his own quaint old house, which happened to be an apartment located in the center of the bustling village, he raised his arm and turned the knob on the door with his left hand before casually entering.

[[u]Raphael Yaida[/u]]

The breeze felt cool, and the vividly sun overhead made things warm all the same. Raphael had been running for hours, it seemed. But this did not bother him at all. It had been a while since he received his last mission, and what better way to start off with an assassination one. [i]Hatori Hiro[/i], He thought, [i]Kirigakure[/i]. These words remained inside his head as he made his way towards said village, where his target would be found. Narrowing his eyes for a few seconds, Raphael often checked his back by looking over his shoulder, now remained constantly vigilant. He couldn't help but sense someone or something's been following him since he left his village, and simply sighs. "[i]Tch[/i]..." Raphael utters. Regardless of this, he continued on. His follower, whomever it may be, would be dealt with - Sooner or later. After another few hours or so, Raphael arrives at his destination, but hesitates to continue any further. The large meadow clearing he was in felt nice, and didn't have to continue watching his back for any sort of surprise attack. Instead, he observes his surroundings and makes certain that the individual following him wasn't going to attack him now. What did he or she wanted, exactly? He began wondering what to do; confront his follower or continue to his target nearby. Just ahead, Raphael could see a small structure over the horizon; the targets home. And with a simple glance, he knew where his follower was, hiding himself or herself behind a thick tree located near a small forestry fifteen-to-twenty feet away from him. It would be troublesome if that person intercepted the upcoming battle or assassination that was soon to unfold.

[spoiler=OOC]Actually, Kazuki lived next to Kirimono. Doesn't matter though, an Apartment would suit Kazuki fine. [/spoiler]

Kazuki sighed and opened his door, flicking on the light as he entered. It wasn't much, merely an Apartment, but he'd lived there since he graduated the Academy, prefering to live away from his clan. He'd considered moving closer to his teammates, but hadn't found any houses up for sale. He shrugged and scanned his small apartment, from the small sofa to the door to the bedroom, and from that the Bathroom. He walked slowly over to the fridge and grabbed a small can of Pop, downing it nearly instantly. His Chakra and energy weren't exactly Depleted, infact he'd barely used any energy at all, but his mind was tired, and he'd probably drop of any minute if he didn't have some Caffiene. He sighed and walked over to the fire place, flicking a small blob of fire at it to set it ablaze, feeling the relief of the warmth. He then walked over to the stove and did the same, placing a small pan full of noodles in the pan. It wasn't as good as Ichiraku's, but at least he could cook slightly, and he didn't want to go out at the moment. He then turned to the sofa and grabbed the TV remote of the arm and flicked through the channels to one of the Multiple music channels, which was currently playing some song by a rock band. He then turned back to the fridge, but instead of going into it, he turned to the note board next to it, in particular to a note that had a Kunai holding it up. ".....hel......we......in.......ubl....." He muttered, groggly. He ripped off the note and crumpled it into a ball, before opening it again. He gasped, and then smiled. He'd read it wrong, and thought it'd said 'Help, we're in trouble.' Infact, as he noticed when he smiled, it was a shopping list, and he through it with a small needle back to the board, hopefully reminding himself to go shopping tommorrow. He looked at the Kunai for a second, scanning for any symbols or something, and noticed none. He noticed a few chips and scratches, and that the end had been bent due to it spending time in the board, and shrugged, tossing it into the bin. He turned back to his noodles and poured them, now finished, into a bowl, jumping onto the sofa and watching the Music video for a different band, not really paying attention. [i]Will she be okay, I wonder? What about Kirimono? Both of them will be shaken, terrified. Her of her power, him of her capabilities and what happened tonight.[/i] Kazuki thought, absentmindedly shoving food in his mouth.
[i]First thing tommorrow, I'm checking in on Kirimono. We'll probably go see Chizu together.[/i] Kazuki decided, placing the now empty bowl of Noodles on the table at the side of the sofa, before lying down on his side, facing away from the TV, in the hope he could get some sleep.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

It has been a few hours since Kirimono had entered his house, yet he did nothing for the whole time. He wasn't hungry, tired, or even dizzy from when he had the Nine-Tails Chakra taken out of him. All he did was look at the Chakra Suppressing Seal in his hand. He repeatedly looked back in to the past of him putting it on Chizu's forehead. He never knew it could've been so simple. He had been thinking too hard; too negative on an outcome that could've only happened if there were no longer any options. [i]What was I thinking!?[/i] he thought. [i]But what was that force that suppressed Chizu from moving? Who or what had that force and what was the reason?[/i] He began to wonder what had happened.

[GreyCat]

As the technique sealed itself into his arm, a single kana character appeared in the center of the ring. He clasped his hand over the symbol as if holding it in to prevent it from escaping. He hadn't thought that Shikumo-sensei had died, but he didn't think that he would have been able to climb back up in time to save them either. He was pleased, glad even, to know that he was wrong. Taking on the ninja's on their own would have been difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. And if his opponent was a shadow clone, he could take him out with his own attack. Especially if he was bond with the shadow. "On it, Sensei!"

Caje wasted no time. With Shikumo-sensei okay, they were back to the original plan, and the final phase of it too. He darted forward and rapidly closed the distance that Kamuri created. Extending the hand he sealed the technique in, palm out, he released it with a quick non-verbal command and a shot of chakra. There was a puff of smoke and the crescent blade of chakra burst out and hurdled the few feet between him and his target.

[BLUR]

Hana was outside, and she didn't have sight of Kyo, so he made up a plan. Rolling up the right sleeve of his long sleeved shirt, he activated his seal. "Ishimaru, I found Hikaru's corpse. I can't destroy it though, I'm with a former teammate that keeps me informed of the bounty hunters after me. She is something I can't lose just yet, and if she finds out I am with the Order she would likely try to kill me. I'm going to summon you here so that I can't be blamed for the destruction of Hikaru's corpse." Kyo whispered. While waiting for an answer, Kyo prepared the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

"It can't be helped I suppose..." Raphael said and took in a deep breath while making a few hand signs, he then put his right hand next to his mouth and aimed at his follower's particular spot. [i]Wind Release: Concentrated Wind Bullets[/i] Raphael thought in the launched a bullet, that was about double the size of a humans head, of fast moving wind at the tree. Raphael waited at first to see what his opponent would do...

[Warrior_Tal]

-Well it was nothing like that Jinn-Tu could dodge the attack. The man just felt the best to overall come out an attack him like it was nothing. It didn't bother the Hyuage, but he did have to think rather quickly on his feet. Quickly retracing his steps he jumped back nearly avoiding the striking power of the blade. Infused with chakra; Jinn-Tu found it lucky to avoid the attack all together. The force of the attack shook the ground all together. Landing back onto his feet the Hyuga stood up.-

[color="purple"]"You really aren't playing around."[/color]

-His byakugan focused in on the opponent he was facing. Detecting where exactly this man was focusing his chakra at. Then and only then would he push in for an attack on him.-

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

"Understood" Ishimaru answered, simply. "Summoning Jutsu!" Kyo's mind screamed at him, slamming his palms onto the floor beneath him. Not long after summoning a small Snake-Tailed Chameleon, which Kyo informs it to summon Ishimaru immediately, it disappears. Almost instantaneously before the Chimera-like Chameleon vanishes, Ishimaru appears standing alongside Kyo. [i]Reverse Summoning Jutsu...[/i], Kyo thought, [i]...Is a success[/i]. Despite being summoned every now and then, Ishimaru simply never got used to it and would probably never will. This feeling of uneasiness, however, is gone from him when he notices Hikaru on the table. It seemed as though they haven't begun experimenting with his body in order extract information out of him. Kyo and Ishimaru were lucky. But the latter couldn't help but feel something amiss. The moment he figured it out, he shrugged and turned to the corpse. "No wonder why Hanzo-Sama couldn't summon him through the Reverse Summoning Jutsu" said Ishimaru, referring to his dead body. "I trust you know what to do, right?" Kyo asked, jokingly. Unsheathing his blade slowly, Ishimaru proceeded to stab the corpse with his katana and uttered several words to himself. At that moment, Hikaru's entire body dissolved quickly, leaving no remains left. Kyo, having only seen it twice now, deduced it was some sort of acid technique deriving from his blade. "Forgive me for what I'm about to do next, Kyo, but I need you to trust me" He whispered. Without warning, Ishimaru slams his fist into Kyo's stomach, sending him tumbling backwards until coming to a full stop once his back crashes against a wall. Coughing up blood shortly after, Kyo pondered at Ishimaru's actions. Did he do it deliberately so that Hana would assume he wasn't affiliated with him? Or some other complicated reason? Whatever the case was, Kyo couldn't move from the attack just now -- temporarily, of course. His entire body felt numb from the sudden, overwhelming pain. Hana quickly materializes beside Kyo when she heard a loud thud inside in an effort to aid him. "Are you alright?" She asks, though she was facing Ishimaru when he said that. Not long after the body of Hikaru decayed and was destroyed, three members from the Leaf's ANBU Black Ops surrounds the person responsible for the act.

[[u]Caje Mamoru[/u]]

The clone dispersed in a cloud of smoke the very moment its own technique collided with it, which was originally meant to be used against Caje. The Nara's shadow immediately returned back beneath him and sighed with relief, yet a small hint of disappointment was detected. He had at least hoped to defeat one of the troublesome duo right away, but it would seem that wouldn't be the case at the moment. As Shikumo climbed, Naomi cheered on as they successfully destroyed its clone, but wondered where the real one was. In truth, the real Kamuri had long left the area, leaving his twin brother behind to toy with the others while his shadow clone assisted him. His assignment was accomplished and wished nothing to do with them. Shikumo walked slowly towards the top until he stood alongside with Naomi near the edge of the cliff -- His feet no longer focused with chakra. "You three alright?" Shikumo asked, his eyes momentarily focused on one each of his students before turning his attention to the other man along with the Hyuga not far from them. [i]We'll need to capture this man[/i], He thought, [i]And find out what he knows[/i]. Ryu was shaken when he saw his Sensei plummet to his death and couldn't act bravely like Caje did, and attacked one of the two assailants earlier. But now that he knew he was alright he was back to his normal, yet dynamic self. "Alright, lets do this!" Ryu smirked, cracking his knuckles as he did.

[[u]Jinn-Tu Hyuga[/u]]

The member of the Hyuga clan barely dodged it by a hair's breadth and if it weren't for his Byakugan, surely things would of ended differently for him. Not a second later after he'd avoid it, Jinn-Tu sprung back into action and attacked the red-haired individual. "Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!" Jinn-Tu screamed at him, his first two strikes hitting the man. "Shi-...!" Kazuya growled after two more consecutive strikes came. He staggered and tried to move out of the way, but couldn't. Soon eight more, then sixteen, thirty two and eventually another thirty two consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of sixty four strikes. At that last thrust that struck him he stumbled back, and soon after got knocked down, his blade still remaining in his hand. He cursed the Hyuga as he quickly stood back up and felt something wrong. Needless to say, his Chakra Pathway System had been closed off -- Temporarily, of course. He created some distance between them to recover by jumping backwards and skidded along until he came to a full stop. His teeth were gritting in annoyance and despised the member of the Hyuga clan. Looking back with a simple glance over the shoulder, he could tell the others would come after him. His twin brother's clone, Kamuri, had been defeated and, although he'd never admit it, required some help from him. Things would turn out badly for him if it were to continue like this. His chakra reserves were reduced by half and wouldn't be able to last long if the other leaf ninja intercepted. There was only one choice he had left; Escape. "Kamuri, I need you to summon me" He whispered towards his wrist after activating it, and Jinn-Tu could see it through the Byakugan's vision.

[[u]Raphael Yaida[/u]]

Her eyes widened with surprise and jumped into the open in a nick of time, avoiding the attack all the same as it began shredding the tree in half when the bullet of wind struck it. Immediately, Raphael recognized the individual as she stood up. "Niiro?" He said, slightly surprised. "Idiot! You could of killed me!" She screamed at him, obviously upset. Niiro, an old teammate of his, had been following Raphael since he's left the village. But for what reason? He soon questioned her, "What are you doing here? Why are you following me?". She soon chuckled sheepishly, her anger disappearing when she knew following him hiding in the shadows wasn't a good plan to begin with. But it didn't matter now. Dusting herself as she came closer, Niiro finally answered him, "I promised you, didn't I?". He had no clue as to what she was referring to, and merely remained silent as he stared at her. "You saved me once several years ago, and I, in turn, want to help you whatever it is you're doing" She smiled, innocently enough. She stopped once she was no more than two or three feet away and waited for any sort of reply, hoping he'd take her along with his assignment. Raphael pondered at this. The Handler never said anything about completing the assassination alone. [i]She might prove useful if the enemy is somewhat stronger...[/i], He thought, [i]Or perhaps she'll only get in the way[/i]. "So?" She added, her smile never vanishing, "Can I tag along?".

((Sorry. I'll skip to the morning, as I'm also going to find it hard to post if it's still night. If you wish me to change, then fine, I will. But I'm presuming that Ishimaru, Kyo and Hanzo escaped.))

Kazuki groaned and opened his eyes, momentarily blinded by the sunlight streaking in through the window. He groaned again and sat up properly, realising instantly his TV was off. Then he looked down at the floor and noticed the remote for the TV upside down, and deduced that he'd dropped it on the off button. He sighed and walked over to the bathroom, staring into the mirror. He sighed as he rubbed eyes, looking at the bags under his eyes with disappointment. He'd had insomnia for a while now, and so did most members of his clan. No-one knew whether it was a side effect of the Shikra, or whether it just ran in the family, but he had it and hated it, aswell as the headaches he got from it occasionally. Atleast he'd slept last night, even if it hadn't been that well. He sighed again and walked to the door, grabbing his Jounin Jacket, weapon Pouches and Jacket to go over the Jounin Jacket. He put on his best smile and stepped out of his front door, closing it behind him.
He then walked towards the nearest balcony, the one at the end of the hall, and jumped out of it, landing on a nearby roof. He got an Angry shout from his neighbour, but ignored it, smiling as he ran towards Kirimono's house. He'd go see if Kirimono was okay, then probably go see Chizu with Kirimono. Then, because it was such a nice day after the storm, he'd go see if Taro-sensei was busy, and pester him to train Kazuki a new Jutsu. "Today seems like it's going to be a good one." Kazuki said as he front flipped off of a roof to land infront of Kirimono's front door.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Raphael had to ponder the thought a moment, he hadn't seen Niiro in quite some time-either in or out of combat so he had almost no idea of what she was capable of. "Very well, I accept your offer for help, however, please wait in hiding until I give the signal-which will be a casual move of me running my right hand through my hair." Raphael said and continued to the target's house, he had to make sure he was withing the housing first before assassinating him so he silently crept through the window and took a quick peak through it, being careful not to be seen nor sensed.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Ever since last night, Kirimono had looked at the same Chakra Surpressing Seal without stopping. He eventually fell asleep because his eyes were tired. Although he stopped thinking about it, he started dreaming about it. But eventually, he saw the eye of the Kyuubi again and woke up in shock. It turns out he woke up just before the time that he usually wakes up. It didn't make any sense. How is it he still sees the Kyuubi in his mind after the chakra was gone from his body? Perhaps it had connected to something inside him; something he has yet to know; something that has a large relevance to his clan, and the original creator. A few minutes later, he got dressed, got his kunai and shuriken, and sat down on his couch, wondering what to do next. Maybe check on Chizu? He wasn't entirely sure about what he should do.

[GreyCat]

"'Let's do this?' You mean you actually plan to do something this time?" Caje commented unkindly to Ryu, a frown etched on his face. He wasn't upset with Ryu. No, his feeling at the moment were greater than that, but mad was too strong a word to use. Better to say he was greatly disappointed in his teammates reaction to the incident. Despite everything, they were shinobi, even if Ryu was still a Genin. They had a mission, and they were supposed to follow through with it, not get shaken and distracted by the risks. Even if it meant running to escape, they were to do something. His frown was threatening to evolve into a full blown scowl, so he left before that happened.

The Hyuga was focusing on the other enemy and managed to land some impressive hits with his Eight trigrams attack. If he remembered right, they closed off the target's chakra for a while. Even so, he was still dangerous. But his attention was focused on the Hyuga, and not Caje, providing and opening. Low on chakra and knowing he didn't have enough in him for another jutsu, he drew three shuriken and silently leapt, thrusting off a tree for more height as he moved in the attacker's blind spot. A the peak of his ascent, he threw them, aiming them to slice and tear through the flesh rather than lodge within; going for irritating bleeding wounds.

[Warrior_Tal]

-He had stopped him, but for how long. His opponents chakra cut in half due to the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four palms technique. Yeah, it was that simple. He couldn't perform anymore attacks that required a great use in chakra. With his distance increased between the two of them; Jinn-Tu looked in closely as the man called in for some help. It was easily noticeable by using his byakugan. Extending his vision even further; he caught the sense of Caje and the shuriken coming in at his opponent. This was aimed to stop him for good. No longer able to sense the other foes chakra; it was best to snag him before he escaped.-

-If he dodged the shuriken; he wouldn't be able to do much. But there was still one technique that he could try on him. It wasn't the Hidden Mist Technique..... no not at all. Lifting his hands up he performed the following hand seals for it: snake, ram, horse, hare, ram, horse, and hare. Between the third to last hand seal the Hyuga rushed forward towards his opponent. And just as he performed the last hand seal he threw his left arm out towards his opponent.-

[color="purple"]"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu."[/color]

-His feet slid to a stop hoping that the water style technique would land on it's mark to stop the man cold in his tracks and capture him.-

OOC: I'm not exactly sure if I understood the lines correctly, so please tell me if I need to change something

Kyo couldn't believe what just happened. How had the ANBU Black Ops found Ishimaru. Perhaps Ishimaru let out too much chakra when he had destroyed Hikaru's corpse. But why did Ishimaru have to paralyze him. Then again, Kyo would have probably attacked the Black Ops if he wasn't paralyzed. What is he going to do now? If Ishimaru is taken into custody, not only would he lose one of very rare people he considers a friend, but he would have to somehow explain to Hanzo that Ishimaru was captured because of him. They will probably torture Ishimaru until he spills out all of the Order's plans. And knowing Ishimaru, Kyo knows he won't say a word. Which means the Black Ops would probably kill him. But at the moment, Kyo can''t move, so he has to just watch whats going on...

[Champster]

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

"This is a special joint operation with ANBU from both villages - sanctioned by Sand's and Leaf's leaders - in an effort to capture whomever it was trying to either destroy or recover Hikaru Ryusei's corpse!" declared Hana, the leader of said operation. Kyo now understood what was afoot, and simply played the part of an innocent individual in a crossfire. Hitting Kyo like that and paralyzing him momentarily was the only way Ishimaru could think of without endangering Kyo's relationship with Hana -- Otherwise things would of turned out quite differently for him. "[i]Ho[/i]...All this for little old me? I'm flattered" Ishimaru smiled, activating his seal unnoticed. "Looks like I'm done here, though". With his seal activate, Hanzo was able to hear him and performed the necessary steps in summoning him. Before Hana even had a chance to explain Ishimaru that he didn't stand a chance, his figure dispersed in a shroud of smoke almost instantly and no longer remained standing. [i]I-Impossible[/i], Hana thought, surprised. "F-Find him! We can't let him escape!!" She bellowed out in fury, commanding the ANBU to form a search party in an attempt to find Ishimaru. One ANBU, a captain, remained behind as the others scattered. "What about him? Is he an enemy, too?" He asked, his hand gripping a katana strapped behind his waist. Hana looked over her shoulder and glanced at Kyo as she answered him, "No, he's an old friend".

Despite their joint operation with one another, the ANBU refused to believe such a thing until he either saw [i]it[/i] or didn't. He required proof, and there was only one way to find out. "If what you tell me is true, than I believe there is no harm to him in revealing to us both his wrists to find out whether he belongs to the organization we're after. I've been informed that they have a special insignia on them" He added, slowly he pulled his katana out of its sheathe. Hana narrowed her eyes as she turned back to glare at the ANBU Captain. "Similar thing has happened once before, three years ago. You believed we were responsible for partially blowing up the Hokage's mansion even when we tried explaining to you we didn't. In truth, it was the Order that did so. Do you wish to sever whats left of our trust in you leaf ninja? This is why our leaders forced us in a joint operation, to regain our trust with one another" She scowled at him. The ANBU hesitated, and soon enough sheathed his katana. Kyo was safe from being exposed, for now, thanks to Hana. The ANBU left as Hana turned back to him and offered him her hand to aid him, smiling as she did.

Ryu didn't seem to understand Caje's sour, distraught even, mood. With one raised and the other eyebrow lowered, Ryu stared at his teammate as he dashed off in an effort to assist the lone Hyuga. Shikumo seemed concerned with something else, other than the battle at hand. "So, its finally come to this" He muttered to himself. Naomi soon noticed her sensei and asked what was wrong, whom said nothing, and turned her attention back at the two fighting -- Three now, hence Caje joining the fray. Meanwhile, the three shurikens that were thrown effortlessly glided towards its intended mark. The red-haired shinobi was aware of something coming at him at fast speeds, but his attention was soon arrested by the quickly approaching Hyuga, his hands performing hand seals. Kazuya prepared for another Hidden Sabre Technique for Jinn-Tu, but the thrown weaponry soon grazed him and moaned in agony. "Dammit!" He growled, his anger shot up as he looked over his shoulder and saw the person responsible for those shurikens. These wounds of his weren't fatal at all, but the pain that came along with them distracted him long enough for the Hyuga's technique. "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!." Kazuya's eyes widened as he turned and soon released he was now engulfed in a sphere of watery prison, and simply cursed at the person in front of him. Landing with a soft thud, Caje observed the now captured individual responsible for attacking them in the beginning. "Its over" He thought. Just when things were coming together for them, the mans figure dispersed and was gone. "I-Impossible...!" said Naomi, completely surprised.

[[u]Kirimono Murusaga[/u]]

Kirimono had been pondering over his thoughts all morning, wondering whether or not to go and see Chizu. Actually, he didn't know where they took her to keep her safe, and simply forgot to ask. He thought maybe asking the Hokage, Hashimaru, where she might be. Or their sensei, Taro, might know. These thoughts on what to do today came inside his mind constantly, and simply was at a loss. He heard something outside, a knock, but simply shrugged it off. "Maybe I should go and see Chizu" He muttered to himself. Then, he heard it again, but much louder this time. He stood up quickly, his pouch full of supplies falling off that came with a somewhat large thud as he did. "Tch" He growled, grabbing the essentials that poured out and along with his pouch. He made his way around the couch and soon enough reached the door knob and simply twisted it, and it opened. The bright outdoors was surprisingly, well, bright and had to close his eyes a few seconds to adjust to it. He could see a figure, barely, standing in front of him and uttered one word, "Kazuki?". "Are you alright?" Kazuki asked, concerned. With a simple nod from Kirimono, he answered, "Yeah". Kazuki soon asked him what to do today. "So, what do you feel like doing?". Kirimono gave it some more thought, wondering at the moment on how they should start off today.

[[u]Kazuki Nameni[/u]]

Landing with a soft thud, Kazuki spun around and approached Kirimono's house and simply knocked on his door. No answer. [i]Hmm[/i], Kazuki thought, [i]Maybe I should let him sleep[/i]. Regardless of this, he knocked harder a couple of more times in attempt to make sure he was doing alright. "Kirimono?". He could hear a rustle inside and soon enough the door knob turned and shortly after opened, revealing Kirimono rubbing his eyes. He closed them momentarily, often blinking, his eyes adjusting to the bright and shining outdoors. "Kazuki?" He answered, somewhat surprised. The orb above the skies shined vividly, no doubt a sign of a hot afternoon, but a wonderful day nonetheless. "Are you alright?" Kazuki asked, slightly concerned. With a simple nod from Kirimono, he answered, "Yeah". Kazuki observed behind Kirimono's shoulders and surveyed inside his home momentarily before casually asking him, "So, what do you feel like doing?". He soon noticed and heard a familiar noise and turned his face to its direction where it came from. "Taro-Sensei's..." He muttered when he saw a familiar cat, armed with a ninja vest fit for its size and several weapons attached to said vest, as it went scurrying away. He shrugged it off his shoulders and paid attention back to Kirimono as he waited for a reply.

[[u]Jinn-Tu Hyuga[/u]]

Jinn-Tu was aware that the lone individual was preparing for a familiar technique to be used against him as he quickly approached him. "Tch" He uttered, still running up towards him. [i]Those shurikens of his[/i], He thought, [i]Might provide me the necessary distraction to land this technique on him[/i]. Soon enough, the shurikens did grazed him and as he turned to look over his shoulder, Jinn-Tu had the perfect opportunity to finish his jutsu and capture him once and for all. "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!." The man slowly turned his head, his eyes widened in shock as water quickly formed out of Jinn-Tu's palms and engulfed the man in a watery sphere, successfully trapping him. [i]Capture[/i], Jinn-Tu, [i]Successful![/i]. The red-haired individual observed the water prison, with a circled shape, he was caught in and screamed at him a dozen curses. No doubt the man in front of Jinn-Tu wanted to kill him for humiliating him like this. "I'll remember you, [i]Hyuga[/i]" Kazuya growled, his voice distorted due to the water prison. Jinn-Tu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sense this odd feeling the man had a plan to escape. Before he could lay questions on him, the man escaped - surprisingly enough - as his body dispersed in a shroud of smoke, which soon dissolved in the water. With widened eyes, Jinn-Tu couldn't believe he actually did escape through unknown means and scanned the vicinity around him, yet no signs of him was detected. He simply vanished. The water prison in front of him soon bursts as Jinn-Tu continuously scours the area, yet meets the same outcome of his search; Nothing. Only did he find nothing, Amagai was no longer where he hid and must of left long during the battle.

[[u]Raphael Yaida[/u]]

Niiro nodded and smiled, she hid like before and watched carefully for Raphael's signal. She didn't want to let him down and did as she was bade. Raphael meanwhile surveyed the room through the window and searched for his target anywhere inside. [i]Nothing[/i], He thought, [i]Its all empty inside[/i]. He pondered over the thought of whether or not he should enter or simply wait. "Transformation Jutsu" He muttered and became a rock that leaned against the house, hiding and waiting patiently for his target. Trained in assassination and no doubt a patient individual, Raphael bided his time. The glowing orb above slowly began to set and night soon came, yet still nothing. The mental image of the man he was tasked to killed remained inside his head, and his name as well; [i]Hatori Hiro[/i]. Morning came, but no man was seen or heard of these past fifteen hours.

"Do you honestly think you can hide from me, the Eccentric Hatori of Order? Whatever it is you're after, you won't succeed" this voice called out to Raphael.

Realizing he has been found, Raphael undid the transformation jutsu and glared towards where the voice came from. Standing there were both Niiro, whom was held hostage, and Raphael's target, Hatori. He knew it was him and fit exactly the description of his mark. "Kamereon!" said Hatori, and at that moment the house next to Raphael dispersed in a cloud of smoke, and in its place was a large chimera-like chameleon with snake for a tail. It disappeared shortly after, however, at the command of its master. "Your friend was the easiest to detect amongst the two of you, [i]nameless ninja[/i], and after carefully examining the vicinity I have no doubt in my mind that there is no one else but the three of us" He added, a deranged smile quickly appearing across his lips. Little did he know that the Niiro he held was a water clone, and at her command dispersed immediately. "Wha-...?!" Hatori thought, completely surprised. Instead of normal water, this sticky liquid landed onto Hatori and was unable to move due to its adhesive properties. "I-Impossible!". Elsewhere, Niiro hid behind several trees and observed through the small opening. "Water Release Shadow Clone" She thought, a small smirk perched across her lips.

"So then, what do you want to do?" Kazuki asked, before turning towards the Ninja cat. It seemed familiar, and Kazuki had a nagging feeling he should remember it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He shrugged before thinking of Taro-Sensei randomly, as if it had something to do with him, but shoved it out of his mind. He sighed and glanced inside Kirimono's house. It was quite untidy - it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks - but it also looked like a suitable home, and Kazuki wouldn't mind living in a house like that. He grinned at the thought before looking to his left, up to the Hokage Mansion. "How about we go and see Chizu. After last night...." Kazuki couldn't finish. At this moment it felt like a dream, and he could barely remember any of it, but he still knew it had been real. There were builders over at the Leaf Hospital and a large hole in the roof of the hospital. He looked back to Kirimono, scratching the back of his head and his hair. "We could go ask Hashimaru-senpai where she's being kept." Kazuki suggested, before grasping his forehead. His head had pretty much just exploded, but he was used to it. He sighed for a second, trying not to show any signs of harm, and smiled as he looked back up at Kirimono, resting his hand on the Konoha 'Forehead' protecter, which he actually wore on right leg, just above his Kunai Pouch.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

"Do you know, what the cause of sixty percent of shinobi deaths are in this cold little world." Raphael talked, but didn't want the man to answer so purposely made his voice sound like he was giving a statement rather than asking the man a question. During little talk, Raphael was stringing hand signs together. "I'll tell you exactly what it is, no strings attached." Raphael said, finishing his last hand sign and looking into the eyes of the man. "It's arrogance, and underestimation that does most of the shinobi world in. Wind Release: Great Breakthrough." A huge and powerful gust of wind was generated to engulf the man, however this was merely used as a distraction. Keeping his right hand steady so as to keep the jutsu activated he raised his left hand so his middle and pointer finger were facing up. [i]Lightning Release: Shadow Clone.[/i] Raphael thought and had his shadow clone take a position somewhere behind his target. Raphael canceled the effects of his wind jutsu to go for his blade, the last bits of his generated wind still flowing. The two clones moved in quickly, and because of the wind, virtually undetectable. Both the blades, that were now covered in a strange lightning energy, were coming straight towards the targets neck; if they were successful in going through, the two slashes would make the shape of an X out of energy. "Yaida Clan Assassination Technique: Cross Slash." Raphael said, his blade and the clones nanoseconds away from cutting through the man's neck with their energy enhanced blades...

[Warrior_Tal]

-Well this sure was a kick in the teeth. Repelng the enemy was a success, but capturing him was a failure. Even Amagai was no where in sight. So the Hyuga's best bet was to return to his team. Going back to the Hidden Leaf without much as a successful mission.... not a good thing. Jinn-Tu took a glance over at the members of the team that helped him against the shinobi that they wanted to capture. Some were exhausted and others were just angry. Offering a nodding approval to the leader of the team; Jinn-Tu turned and left the area. Heading back in the direction he had come from. Entering into the forest at a slow pace; now disappearing from sight.-

[GreyCat]

"Of course he would disappear," Caje said with an annoyed sigh. One was a clone and the other vanished as soon as they captured him. How was that fair? Not only had they failed the mission, the two responsible for interfering and killing the contact managed to escape with nothing more than a few scraps and scratches. It was enough to ruin anyone's day. He grit his teeth and turned away from the empty water mass that only served to irritate him further. He approached the Hyuga that had been a major help in the fight and basic manners required that he be thanked. If it wasn't for him, the chances of them surviving the encounter would have been much less. "I appreciate the help you gave us."

[BLUR]

Kyo, now able to move, grabbed Hana's hand to help himself get up. This new information was not good. The Leaf and Sand are not only working together now, but they had anticipated the Order's move. Thankfully Ishimaru was able to avoid capture. Kyo had barely been able to avoid being checked too, and that was only because of Hana. She is still a very important asset to Kyo. Kyo turned to face Hana. "Well whatever information I could have possibly taken from Hikaru's corpse is gone now. I guess I should be heading back now," Kyo said. Kyo smiled one last time at Hana before beginning to head back to the Order hideout. While his back was turned to Hana, Kyo smirked, very mischievously. He just loved lying.[i] "The next phase should be starting soon, I wonder where Hanzo and Ishimaru are at the moment..." [/i]

[Champster]

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

Kyo's assignment given to him by Hanzo was accomplished, and now to return back to his master. "Time to begin the next step. But I'll need to find Hanzo-Sama and Ishimaru, first" Kyo pondered at this as he made his way to the top of the Hokage Monument. Not long after he arrived at the very top, Kyo scanned the area and soon enough down below; [i]Nothing[/i]. He tried using the seal on his wrist to contact Hanzo, but to no avail. Despite standing at a very high vantage point, it didn't work. "Strange." He uttered. "Maybe they're already waiting for me at the next hideout". He turned his general direction towards Northeast and began making his way towards their other hideout located near the Land of Lightning border. Kyo kept on trying to contact either Hanzo or Ishimaru through the seal, yet it always remained the same result as it did earlier before; Nothing. No answer. Something must of happened. Not to Hanzo, though, otherwise the seal on his wrist would of disappeared if it did. No, something else. Minutes seemed like hours, and hours seemed like days, Kyo was dashing through forests and meadows, lakes and other landscapes - and after ten hours of nonstop running - he finally arrived. "Kai!" He uttered, releasing the Genjutsu that was placed on an entrance to conceal it. It dispersed slowly, revealing a large entrance that would lead him towards a colossal underground cavern. The Genjutsu of a huge boulder blocking the entrance returned as Kyo made his way inside.

"You finally arrived, Kyo Yami," smiled Ishimaru, relieved.

Widening his gaze, Kyo could see the other members - high ranking individuals of Order - standing, some sitting, forming a large circle hidden in the shadows. Only a small handful of candlelights lit the underground den. "Excluding Hatori, you're the last one to arrive." Ishimaru added. Kyo noticed Hanzo wasn't present at the meeting, and seemed puzzled. "Hanzo-Sama...?" Kyo whispered, though the others heard him perfectly. "He should be back at any moment." Ishimaru answered, reassuring him. As he walked towards the group to join the circle, Kyo heard something unexpectedly from one of the members, "I heard Hanzo revealed himself to the enemy when he was at Hidden Leaf. Its kinda funny and ironic, isn't it?" one of the shadowy figures spoke. "For three years, he kept saying '[i]Go into hiding until the time is ripe[/i]'. '[i]Until we are long forgotten[/i]'. Idiot. He shouldn't be allowed to do so if we can't do the same. Its so incredibly boring just sitting back, watching as the world turns without us doing a damn thing!" He added, clearly disrespecting the leader behind his back. Kyo glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw the person who said that. "[i]Kazuya[/i]." He uttered. Sitting on a rock-like surface not far off from the group, Kazuya - a lower rank member - had been cleaning his katana for while now, waiting impatiently for the meeting to begin. Kamuri, whom was a higher rank than his sibling, paid no attention to his twin brother and simply remained standing idly next to Ishimaru, his arms crossed upon his chest with eyes closed. Kyo soon approached where he usually stands during meetings, though this was the first one in three years. He glanced at each member within the circle clockwise and muttered to himself their names, "Ishimaru, Kamuri, Raizo and Mukizu." Hatori was the only one as a high ranking member that wasn't present. [i]Probably another experiment he's working on[/i], Kyo thought.

"I heard something regarding you, Kyo. Is the Sand village really going after you?" Kazuya asked. The lower ranking members were never present in these meetings, but for some stubborn reason Kazuya wouldn't leave. And Kamuri didn't care to bother telling his brother to do so unless he was given an order from Hanzo-Sama, whom was still not present. Kazuya never really liked Kyo, and Kyo already knew about this in him. "By the way, Kyo, have you had a nice time with your girlfriend?" He added, teasing him.

[[u]Caje Mamoru[/u]]

"[i]Tch[/i]..." Caje uttered. Before he even had a chance to speak with him, the Hyuga had already left the area once the enemy miraculously escaped from his Water Prison Technique. With their enemies gone, this was an unfortunate outcome for their mission, but - apart from minor wounds and all - at least they were alright. Shikumo remained concerned regarding the people they fought. [i]Order[/i], He thought. [i]Have they finally returned?[/i]. Not only that, the person he was saved earlier before was an S-Class Missing-Nin, hunted down for defecting his own village. But Shikumo Nara knew the truth behind him and his actions, he is Konohagakure's strategist and the Jounin Commander, after all. As he drew closer to his team, Naomi asked if everyone was uninjured and would heal wounds if someone was. Ryu simply said nothing, and merely shook his head in response. This was the first time he froze like that. Normally, he would of been driven with rage and attacked recklessly when he thought Shikumo-Sensei died. Perhaps he himself thought they didn't stand a chance. "Lets go" Shikumo ordered, sharply. The enemy had killed their contact, Yajuumaru, and whatever information he held - whether it was important or not - vanished along with him. Shikumo thought the Hokage was to be informed of this information, these members of the Order, so as to prevent another conflict between the villages. Last time it happened, war nearly broke out due to this organization -- Order, and its manipulative schemes.

[[u]Jinn-Tu Hyuga[/u]]

With Amagai gone and no time to waste, Jinn-Tu dashed through the forests of Kusagakure until he reached the Land of Earth border, supposedly said to have sentries posted all around it -- Nothing but superstitious rumors to keep everyone away. "I should meet up with Midori-Sensei and see if there's anything else we can do." Jinn-Tu mumbled to himself. The landscape was mostly comprised of desolate, rocky areas. Not much cover if one needs to hide these days. As he approached where he last met with his Sensei, the Hyuga observed his surroundings for any signs of his teammates. "Any luck?" this voice asked, familiar to the member of the Hyuga clan. Midori crossed her arms upon her chest and waited patiently as Jinn-Tu turned and answered his sensei quickly, "I found him, but he slipped through my grasp before I had a chance to grab him." This was her fourth mission that ended in failure in her entire life as a shinobi, and she couldn't help but give Jinn-Tu a scolding glare. Normally, she would continue to search for their target, but knowing Amagai - her former teammate as part of Hashimaru's ANBU squad - She knew he would be long gone already and no doubt wouldn't leave any trail. "We can't stay here any longer. These primitive shinobi won't stand for our unwelcome visit once they find out we're here," she said, her tone flat. She turned her general direction Southeast and motioned Jinn-Tu to follow her with a simple gesture of her hand. "I'll contact the others and have them meet us somewhere outside the Land of Earth border. We'll then travel back to Konoha and report to Hokage-Sama our mission ending up in failure." She added, her voice cold as usual.

"Lets go."

[[u]Raphael Yaida[/u]]

Hatori lowered his face when both Raphael's neared, as if he were admitting defeat. The two blades closed in on the targets neck and soon enough decapitated the member of Order quite easily, his very own head sent flying a few meters into the air above. "This [i]body[/i] of mine clearly underestimated you...!" Hatori grinned, his last words escaping from his mouth as it lands near its body; Dead. Raphael's mark has been successfully assassinated. The clone of himself dispersed immediately once its job was done. And for a moment there, Raphael thought it was too easy. He heard rumors about these members of Order to be quite dangerous individuals. Then again, it was all rumors anyway. Niiro quickly materialized beside Raphael and observed the dead corpse next to their feet. Her head was filled with questions regarding this man and whatever made Raphael kill him. But Niiro remained silent, her eyes now staring in the distance. She thought she had seen an individual vanishing behind a tree, yet nothing came of it, it was as if the person had completely disappeared. Her imagination was playing tricks on her it seemed. Niiro continued to remain silent, biting her lower lip. The member of the Yaiba clan soon took the head as proof in case the Handler required it and place it inside a satchel he'd been carrying.

"What now?" Niiro asked, curious.

Kazuya's comments began to anger Kyo. But Kyo simply smirked, not wanting to give Kazuya the satisfaction of being able to annoy him. "You know Kazuya, I can kill you anytime I want and Hanzo-sama wouldn't mind, especially after you just called him an idiot. What business do you have at a meeting of high-ranking members of the Order anyway?" Kyo said. The only respect Kyo had for Kazuya came from his brother Kamuri, but Kazuya just pushed it. Of course, Kyo wouldn't actually kill Kazuya, but he threatened anyway. He made himself comfortably before saying, "Yes, the Sand is after me, it's sad actually. I actually considered the Sand my home too. And I have no relation with the girl other than her being my messenger. She is just a tool I use to gain information," Kyo said coldly. He smirked. "Where did you get all of this information form anyway?" Kyo asked, looking Ishimaru at from the corner of his eye.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Fine, dont talk to me." Kazuki said, sighing and turning around. "I was going to visit Chizu, but seen as though you seem to have something else planned, dont let me spoil your day." Kazuki murmured, speaking coldly. "You're very lucky to have her y'know. She likes you a lot." Were Kazuki's last words before he lept away, on his way towards the Hokage's Mansion to ask Hashimaru of Chizu's whereabouts. As he approached the large mansion, he stopped. He could feel....something to his right. When he looked though, nothing was there. Except, there was, Kazuki just wouldn't admit it. "A cat? I felt the presence of a Ninja." Kazuki muttered, kneeling down to see the cat. "So then, you seen any ninja anywhere little guy?" Kazuki asked, resting his arms on his knees.
