The Taming of Kenmaru, C-rank Storyline Mission

[Antagonist]

The Taming of Kenmaru (http://forum.narutochaos.com/showthread.php?p=493298#post493298)
C-rank storyline mission
Reward based upon decisions and performance
Group: Nenchakugomu Koukou, Shitsumei, and other.

We have received word from a very reliable source of a nomadic caravan moving along the back-roads within the Land of Sound that is in the possession of illegal contraband. He says they are in the process of leaving to the land of fire, perhaps looking for protection out of fear of rumors of the small-time bandit Nori Osumbu in the area. Our contact says in return they will give Konoha the forbidden items they had scavenged in their travels.

Your mission is simple,

The forbidden supplies they carry would be very useful to us so you are to go and redirect their path towards Kumo with the promise of escorting them: they will accept this tantalizing offer immediately as Nori Osumbu, if he is even there, would never even dream of attacking the caravan combined with your strength.

You have approximately four days to find and redirect the hidden caravan before it crosses to border to the Land of Fire and falls under konoha's protection so we are giving each of you $1000 worth of mission checks to bribe whoever you need to get information as to it's location and get the equipment necessary to get their within the time limit (such as horses, hot air balloons, etc)

Whatever you do, leave asap and do not return without the contraband, enclosed are a map of the suggested route to the land of sound, tracking devices, and radio equipment so you can meet up somewhere along the way.

Leave one crate along the path for our contact's payment.

OoC: there guys... you can meet up with each other whenever but all three must be united when you come upon the caravan (now in ruins of course).

The mission will of course differ from this mission statement as having read the rp thread you will know the wagon train is destroyed.

So you traveling to the caravan, spending the money however you wish (although no buying weapons or keeping any after the missions, just have fun with it to make your travel as entertaining as possible) then once upon the caravan you are to gather as many crates as you can before returning back to Kumo.

I will be throwing curve-balls at you throughout the mission, especially if you ask for it (such as walking in like Sparta killing bandits left and right) ... use stealth, set traps, free some hostages and have them join you, do whatever! it's wide open so enjoy yourself!

I will be taking a VERY active role when you finally confront Nori

Pay-out will depend on each individuals decisions and performance throughout the mission.

ask me whatever questions you have.

*Shitsumei stirs awake, finding himself once again in Yama's luxurious bed. As Shitsumei pulls himself out of bed he notices a large envelope sitting on the pillow next to him, covered in the unmistakable seal of the Raikage. Shitsumei picks the envelope up and inspects every inch of it. Besides the seals the only noticable mark on the envelope is "Shitsumei" quickly scratched on its front in Yama's perfect writing. After looking it over a few more times, Shitsumei decides to rip the paper around the seals and read the contents.*

Shitsume:(A mission?! For them to give me something like this as my first mission is strange. Yama must of convinced them to add me on after I complained about not wanting to go on any boring D-rank mission.)

*Shitsumei argued with himself about wether he should go on the mission or turn it down and take a simple D-rank, but in the end Shitsumei's sense of adventure conviced him to go ahead and accept the mission.*

*Shitsumei forced himself out of the comfortable bed and put his regular clothes on, but paused as he picked up his father's blades, noticing the white streak running down the hilt.*

Shitsumei:(When did this happen?!)

*Shitsumei decides to ignore it for now, and slides his blades on and picks up his almost completely empty backpack before exitting the mansion. Shitsumei walks down the streets of upper Kumo, navigating his way to the Raikages office when a sudden realisation crosses his mind*

Shitsumei:(Damnit, when I was packing to go train with Yama I left behind all my explosive notes, and I will most likely need them for this mission. Plus I will most likely need food and other supplies for it. God, I'm an idiot!)

*Shitsumei quickly turns around and begins running towards his apartment, hopeing that the rest of the team wouldn't leave on the mission without him.*

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

*The image of the Raikages office now stands before Shitsumei, who now has a large overstuffed backpack on his back and a pouch attached just above his knee filled with explosive notes. Shitsumei walks threw the large wooden doors of the Raikages office and sees a large open lobby before him with a woman sitting at a large desk before him. Shitsumei notices her forehead protector and relizes that she is no ordinary reseptionist. She looks up at Shitsumei with an uniterested look in her eye.*

Raikage's Secretary: May I help you?

*Shistumei now looking at her face to face noticed how hot she was.*

Shitsumei: I'm here to accept a mission. I received the letter with the mission statement this morning.

*The secretary lifted her arm and put it palm up right infront of Shitsumei's face.*

Raikage's Secretary: Letter please.

*Shitsumei dug threw the pouch on the front of his sweatshirt and produce the mission statement that was now crumpled badly, and handed it to the female shinobi.*

Raikage's Secretary: Thank you, it appears that you are the first one here for the mission so you can sit over there and wait for the rest of your party.

*The secretary extended a long slender finger towards a large leather coach in the corner of the room, and Shitsumei quickly took the hint and walked over to the couch and collapsed into it with his backpack still on, waiting for the others to arrive.*

OOC: Come on guys, lets get this party started :whoo:

[thebolivian]

Today was like any other day for Nenchakugomu Koukou so in other words today was hell. The day started off with Jimai through a bucket of water at him, not on him but at him. Jimai insisted that Koukou doing his physical training session at 4 in the morning. Koukou had barely finished when a messenger hawk landed on top of his head. The hawk had scroll attached to its leg. So Koukou did what any logical person would do, he opened up the scroll and started reading it.

We have received word from a very reliable source of a nomadic caravan moving along the back-roads within the Land of Sound that is in the possession of illegal contraband. He says they are in the process of leaving to the land of fire, perhaps looking for protection out of fear of rumors of the small-time bandit Nori Osumbu in the area.

"Thank the lord! I get to at least 4 Jimai-free days! Somebody pinch me!" shouted Koukou in a very exicted tone

"What are you yapping about you little green haired, purple clothes wearing, with ridiculous sunglasses brat!" barked Jimai as he started walking in Koukou's direction

"I have to go on a mission, soooo I am going to be away for an undetermined amount of time. I regret that I am going to have to miss some valuable training time but duty calls." said Koukou in a serious tone.\

"That's all? Okay then, have fun and don't get yourself killed." responded Jimai as he turned around and began to walk away

"Oh and before i forget, you have to keep your training weights on. No ifs, ands, or buts!" called Jimai over his shoulder as he continued to walk away

"Sadistic drooling bastard." mutter Koukou under his breath as he started to run home to go his supplies packed

~45 minutes later~

Koukou had just arrived at the place where he was supposed to report into before he left to go on his mission, the Raikage's office. He slowly opened up the door till there was a tiny crack that he could see through. Koukou did this because he wanted to make sure he wasn't the first one there. The people that showed up later were always cooler than the ones that show up on time. After seeing a person sprawled out on the couch in the secretary office's Koukou opened the door and walked through it.

"Nenchakugomu Koukou, super awesome shinobi reporting for duty!" shouted Koukou as he showed the secretary the mission statement he had received early

There were at least 3 audible groans when Koukou had finished his self announcing of his arrival. The secretary justed rolled her eyes and pointed to the empty chair next to the couch. Koukou jumped onto the chair and was successful in knocking it over along with himself.

"I am okay!" said Koukou

OoC: The madness begins!!!

[Antagonist]

The Raikage, a tall and noble man, stepped out of his office to go get some lunch at the cafeteria when to his undelighted eyes he saw the two worst of the worst last resort genin he had to pick to go get the valuable scrolls and what not when no one else could be found. The mission was priority but here they were hanging around like a couple of morons... one was that guy so horrible the raikage had put him into the "don't waste time giving him a mission" file... so pretty much a noob and the other was that rediculous purple freak that was cousin to one of the infamous akusaki... the very sight of him made the Raikage nauseous... thoughts of how to have him executed for connections to the Akusaki so the droopy mouth face wouldn't bother him anymore started to race through his mind

Raikage: I can't... o wait yes I can believe this! I give you two thousands of dollers of shinobi equipment and tell you to leave ASAP and here you are, disgracing my waiting room! go! go for the love of god the caravan is getting closer to that damned country of fire every moment! I'll bet the other one is already long on his way...

*sullenly a thought crossed the raikage's mind... it would hurt to put such a valuable possession in the hand's of these two imbeciles but this mission was important and they needed to get moving.

*he tossed them the keys to a couple of his recreational primitive dune buggies

Raikage: here, the secretary will take you to a couple dune buggies.... they're gas guzzlers but as long as you don't crash them they'll last till night... o wait you will crash them so they'll last till you crash them. there's a hot air balloon place on Saint Regal road about 20 miles towards the Land of Sound, drive as far as you can, then after your sure to happen crash, run the rest of the way there as that would get you a hot air balloon will get you a good distance...

... then again you two will probably just blow the hot air balloon up as well so maybe that's not such a good idea, I don't know just get going!

*with that the Raikage shunshin'ed out of the room towards the cafeteria, now that the two thought about it they were hungry as well: you could tell cause their stomaches were growling

Secretary: I know a fantastic place that serves fresh catch it yourself giant lobster, you can drop by it as it's on the way towards regal road.... in fact it's the only food on the way to regal.

*a sadist look crosses the girl's eyes

Secretary: heheh... they put up quite a fight though.

*she got up and began leading them to the dune buggies

[thebolivian]

Koukou was a little hesitant when he heard the Raikage say that he was going to let them ride in dune buggies. But after his secretary escorted them out of the office, he found out that the Raikage wasn’t kidding. Here they were right in front of him, three of the world’s fastest dune buggies, the Shinobinator Dune Monster 5000s. Koukou had heard about this type of dune buggy before it was said that only 50 of them were made and sold for a price that you couldn’t even earn if you completed 500 S rank missions. Koukou was amazed at the Raikage giving them such expensive things.

“I got dibs on the green one!!!” shouted Koukou as he ran to the lime green colored dune buggy

Koukou got inside the drivers seat and looked at all the fancy instruments and gadgets. He had no clue what any of them did. The only thing he did know was that he was going to play with all of them.

“Hey lady, Gimme the keys!” yelled Koukou as he Stuck his hand outside of the vehicle. After a few seconds Koukou heard a jingling sound which was followed by the keys being placed in his hand.

“Sweet!” shouted Koukou as he fumbled around while trying to put the keys into the ignition

(Sfx: VVRROOOOMM)

Koukou had started up the engine and was currently trying to find out how to make it go.

“This stupid thing!! How do you get it to move anywhere!” screamed Koukou as he unknowingly stomped his foot onto the gas pedal

“WWAAAAAAHHHH!!!” screamed Koukou as the dune buggy zoomed forward

(OoC: Now the real fun begins)

[TheWhiteFang]

*As Shitsumei aproached the garrage he was puzzled at what the Raikage was mumbleing about, hearing about something called a "dune buggy". When he finally entered the garage he saw that it was some sort of mechanical contraption.*

Koukou: I got dibs on the green one!!!

*Shitsumei watched in terror as his teammate tried to master the strange contraption and all its weird gizmos, and as he sped away to certain death Shitsumei knew what he had to do.*

Shitsumei: Uhh, no thanks, I can run almost as fast as those, and I dont wana trust my life in some western machine.

*Shitsumei quickly followed the path of destruction that was left behind by his reckless teammate smashing threw the streets of Kumogakure.*

OOC:Yah sry but i sided with the whole anti-machines idea

[Antagonist]

It is now clear that Chance is unable to participate in this mission.

Through discussion with T-bo and WF I have come across the decision that the traveling, essentially filler that I put to pass the time till chance became active, is unneeded and that they can get on with the true mission

you have full clearance to arrive at the bandit camp in your next post

I know you guys are real busy in RL so take your time

[TheWhiteFang]

*The smoke of the large camp fires could be seen miles away from the makeshift camp the bandits had setup. Three bandits sat around one of the fires, guarding two hostages tied in the corner. Two of the bandits were talking amongst eachother while the third was past out with a bottle of some sort of liquor gripped tightly between his fingers.*

Bandit 1: So do you think we are going to get out of here without a fight?

Bandit 2: No village would even think that we would attack a caravan in the open like this, plus with the boss around any that even think about it would be killed horribly.

*Another bandit patrolling the outside the carvan ring stepped threw the crack between two of the wagons. The third bandit looks at the one passed out angrily.*

Bandit 3: Who the hell let him have that stuff?!

Bandit 2: Dont worry so much Jarril, its just some spoils from one of the wagons.

Jarril: You fool what if we were attacked?! They would see him lying there and kill him before either of you could respond!

Bandit 2: Garin and me would be more than a match for any stupid ninja that hit this side of the camp.

Garin: Hey dont include me in this Duris!

Duris: Well anyways, aren't you supposed to be patrolling?

Jarril: Shutup, I was comming for something to drink!

Duris: Well you can have some of that if you can pry it from his fingers.

Jarril: Screw You!

*Jarril stormed past the wagons straight into the treeline just outside of them, never seeing the kunai lodge itself in the back of his neck and the blood spraying the wagon cover as a shinobi dressed in black shot past him into the tree line.*

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shistumei carefully concealed himself in the bushes, praying that no bandits saw their buddy lose a couple liters of blood. The kill had been silent, and the kunai and severed the spinal collum before he was able to let out even a whimper. Shitsumei slowly crawled beneath the brush just far enough to let the light of the fire peirce the wall of folliage. The two bandits were still chatting away. Shitsumei decided that the kill was silent and clean and crawled over to the corpse of the unknown bandit and pulled his kunai loose. The kunai was covered in blood and a peice of bone was stuck to its tip. Shitsumei cleaned it off as best he could on the bandits shirt and returned it to its spot in his pouch. His scouting mission had taken a turn for a worst already, making Shitsumei spill his first blood. But more blood was going to be spilled before this mission was done.*

Shitsumei: (I better get back to the camp before he starts thinking I got caught.)

*Shitsumei crawls back into the bushes but then turns back to the corpse now lieing in a pool of his own blood.*

Shitsumei: (I can just leave him there or his friends will start being more on-guard.)

*Shitsumei grabbed him by the foot and dragged the corpse into the tree line and covered the blood with dirt and leaves, hoping it would be enough to cover up the scene of Shitsumei's first murder.*

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

*Chouseki was poking the fire, waiting for Shitsumei to return when he heard a nearby bush move. Chouseki instinctively threw a kunai in the direction of the noise.*

Chouseki: Who the hell is there?!

???: Chill out Chouseki its just me.

*Shistumei emerges from the bushes, twirling a kunai on his center finger.*

Shitsumei: I think you dropped this.

*Shistumei threw the kunai at Chouseki's feet, causeing it to dig into the ground between his feet.*

Shitsumei: Anyways I just got back and it looks like the information was right, the whole carvan is swarming with bandits.

*Chouseki bent over and pulled the kunai from the ground and placed it back in his kunai holster.*

Chouseki: Damnit, I kinda hoped that the old man was just being senile. This is going to make our mission alot more complicating...

Shistumei: Yah now I kinda wish I didn't send that Koukou fool back to the village for help, we could use an extra man.

*Shitsumei sat by the fire and warmed himself, going over the events that unfolded just a few hours ago.*

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

Shitsumei: OIY!!!! Chouseki!

*Shitsumei ran threw the streets of the small war-torn village.*

Chouseki: Long time no see...

Shitsumei: Yah, I haven't seen you seen graduation day at the academy.

*Shitsumei looked over at his old friend from the academy, still wearing the same blue shirt and silver pants he wore every day at the academy.*

Chouseki: Well I'm glad you finally caught up because I heard some disturbing news about the mission.

Shitsumei: What do you mean?

Chouseki: Its the caravan, an old man told me that he saw some bandits take it over not far from town.

Shitsumei: Not that Osumbo fool?!

*Chouseki's face lost all emotion as Shitsumei mentioned Nori Osumbo's name*

Chouseki: Hopefully its just a coincidence and that monster has nothing to do with it.

*Shitsumei shuddered as he remembered all the stories he heard while hanging around the village elders.*

Shitsumei: We have no other choice than to go and check for ourselves...

Chouseki: Yah, but you know I was always terrible at stealth back in the academy.

Shitsumei: Fine I'll do it myself, just tell Koukou to go back to the village and have them send some help whenever he catches up. Make camp nearby with a fire and I'll find you. Now where did the old man say the caravan was?

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

*Shitsumei truely hoped that Koukou would get the message to the Raikage and that the Anbu would arrive before his plan went all to hell.*

Shitsumei: Well I was forced to kill one of their patrols and its only a matter of time before they discover his body...

Chouseki: Then we have no choice...

Shitsumei: Yah, you better gather all your gear and put out the fire, we gota leave within 30 minutes.

[TheWhiteFang]

*Duris poked at his comrade, still passed out from the sake he had stolen.*

Duris: Damn, I think he is dead?!

Garin: He's not dead, watch.

*Garin threw a rock and the intoxicated bandit, causing him to twitch then roll over and fall to sleep.*

Duris: What the hell is taking Jarill so long, he should of come back by now for the change in shift.

*Duris stood up and began walking towards the opening between the wagons.*

Garin: He probably got killed and is lieing dead in a bush somewhere.

*Duris turned back laughing.*

Duris: Yah, knowing his luck he would get killed by some pathetic genin!

*They both began laughing uncontrolably as tears rolled down their faces.*

*15 more minutes pass by and Duris started walking back towards the opening.*

Duris: Damnit its been over a hour and he still hasn't checked in, I'm going to check it out.

Garin: Fine fine, bring me some sake while you're at it, he wont let me get at that bottle.

*Duris twitches backwords multiple times then stops in his tracks at the openning to the wagons.*

Garin: You alright man?....Duris?

*Duris collapses and rolls on his back, revealing multiple spikes protudeing from his chest and neck.*

Garin: DURIS!!!!

*Garin is silence as a pure white blade peirces threw his spine and emerges from his chest.*

???: Damnit yours got a scream out.

???: If you would of waited longer like I told you I could of gotten under the wagon before your guy dropped.

Garin: Who...are...you...

*Garin collapsed onto his knees, the last images he ever would see was a shinobi picking needles out of his long time friends chest as the white blade is forced upword.*

*Chouseki looked over at the third bandit, still passed out.*

Chouseki: Damn he is really drunk! What should we do with him?

Shitsumei: Here, take some wire and tie him up, and dont forget to gag him!

*Shitsumei hands Chouseki his 5-foot bundle of wire and Chouseki immediatly begins to work hog tieing the bandit. Shitsumei then walks over the the hostages still terrified by the scene they just witnessed.*

Shitsumei: Alright I'm going to remove your gags so please dont scream...

*Shitsumei removes the gag from a young blonde girl.*

Shitsumei: Are you alright, can you talk?

Blonde Girl: Wh-who are you?!

*Shitsumei grins widely at the girl.*

Shitsumei: We are your escort!

*The girl begins to giggle at the irony, but soon stops as she notices the corpse a few feet away with a slash a few feet long, and the young shinobi's pure white blade covered in blood. She is instantly terrified of the boy who can do that to someone then smile at her a few seconds later.*

*Shitsumei begins ungaging and slicing the ropes of all three hostages as Chouseki cuts the spare wire and throws the bandit into the nearby wagon.*

Chouseki: Here you go, I only needed about 3 feet of wire, and I thought it might be better if we hide the others in the wagon with him.

Shitsumei: Be sure to check if they have anything usefull on them before you do.

*Chouseki dragged the two corpses into the wagon and covered their blood trail as best he could.*

Shitsumei: So can you three walk?

*Shitsumei adressed the older couple that were tied up along side the blonde.*

Old Woman: I beleive so.

Shitsumei: Good, then you three better get out of here before any more bandits come.

*The old couple helped eachother up and began waddleing towards the tree line Chouseki emerged from a few minutes ago. Shitsumei noticed that the blonde girl was still seated on the ground.*

Shitsumei: You better hurry and catch up to those two before they leave you behind.

Blonde Girl:I-I'm not running away...not again...

Chouseki: Come on, we gota get going before another patrol comes around!

Shitsumei: Listen, we still have a mission to do and we cant be dragging you along...

Blonde Girl: I wont be a burden...and I have to kill that bitch...

*Shitsumei noticed the girl form her hands into a fist and squeeze them until they started turning red.*

Shitsumei: Who are you, and what the hell are you talking about?!

Blonde Girl: My name is Meku Hirestu and I was one of the shinobi escorting this caravan to Konoha...

Shitsumei: A leaf shinobi...

*Shitsumei gripped his blade tightly.*

Chouseki: Stop it Shitsumei, we are shorthanded as is!

Shitsumei: BUT THEY...

Chouseki: I know, but we could use her!

Shitsumei: Fine...but if she tries anything...she's dead...

*Shitsumei whiped the blood from his sword on the grass and resheaths it.*

[Antagonist]

OOC: A scream! time for high alert! get outta there dude!

Garin: DURIS!!!!

Bandit 1: DAMMIT YOU MADE ME KNOCK THE JENGA TOWER OVER GAVIN YOU BITCH!!!

Osumbu: huh, Arnold is playing Jenga? lets go check it out boy

*Nori begins walking over to Arnold with the young Kenmaru, the frail man is trying to re-balance another Jenga pile upon the rocky ground... It is not going well and obscenities ensue from arnold, the other one just keeps going huh huh huh! a stupid sounding laugh that almost sound like a question.

Arnold (Bandit 1): sorry Nori... its just fuckin gavin and his pot-heads keep yellin at each other and it startled me

Osumbu: they have a good friendship despite the abuse dealt to each other... they would give their lives for each other in fact: I could not ask for better men... nonetheless

*Loudly* hey Larry, go over and tell them to quiet down

Larry (Bandit 2): are... you.... sure.... i should leave...... the crates.....

Osumbu: you take your job to seriously, no ones gonna take the crates if you leave them for a second! just tell them to quiet themselves

Larry begins to walk slowly over to the fireplace: befuddled that no one is there.

Larry: troublesome.... hey ....Toe and .........Jam (bandits 3 and 4).......... where are those ..........guys...... are they...... in the shadows........ I...... don't..... wanna walk....... any further........

Toe and Jam: WE"LL CHECK CHIEF!!!

*Toe and Jam shuffle eagerly into the clearing! The Genin's will have to leave quickly!

######################################

meanwhile Zarackarak (Bandit 5), a loner notices the old people ambling towards the tree-line and heads to meet them, not making a sound to claim the prized heads for himself. The fire, still burning, guides him

Old Woman: ah its good to be warm again

Old Man: BAH humbug! they got the fire exposed! back in my days of a cowboy you always sheltered your fire!

Old Woman: their you go rambling on about being a "cowboy" again Lexington, what is a cow boy anyway

Old Man: well us cowboys get behind our horsie

*walks behind old woman

Old Man: then we smack them on the rear to get em goin!

*slaps his wife on the "backside"*

Old Woman: oh Lexington, you still have it in you after all these years teehee

Old Man: ya Mi~~

SFX: THUD!!

OldPeople: huh?

*they turned around to see a beast with a monsterous arms in the shadows of the trees holding a spear in one hand and a scimitar in the other, connected to curly wires which are in turn connected to each respective arm

Old Man: what in tarn'nation!

*Zarackarak snarls at them

????: DIE!

*he swings the spear with tremendous force, instantly going through both the hugging couples heads, and when the wire fully extended he pulled back hard, ripping the heads off and bringing them back to him: he then calmly caught the spear back in his hand, took the two heads off, and tied the two heads to some more slinky's on his belt, so that when he walked the heads bounced up and down.

he was heading silently to the three genin leaving the clearing.

[TheWhiteFang]

*Chouseki was putting the last of the salvaged gear into his pack when he heard two voices yelling not far off.*

Tom and Jam: WE"LL CHECK CHEIF!!!

Chouseki*whisper*: Shitsumei we gota get outa here!

*Shitsumei now pulled two kunai loose from his pack.*

Shitsumei:*whisper*: I know but they're all around us...wait!

*Meku began fleeing towards the tree line, but stopped dead in her tracks as she saw a monster of a man emerge with two heads dangling from his belt.*

Meku: AHHHH!!!!

Shitsumei: Damnit they are all around us!!

Chouseki: Looks like we are going to have a fight on our hands!

*Chouseki pulled six hari out of his pouch, one in each gap between his fingers.*

Shitsumei: Just dont go and die on me and leave me with that damned girl!

Chouseki: Haha, I would like to see that.

Shitsumei wrapped an explosive tag around the kunai in his left hand and Chouseki is channeling chakra to his feet

[Antagonist]

They were phenomenal children Zaracharak (Bandit 5) saw whispering quietly amongst themselves, unlike his allies he had longed for shinobi to show up: and it appeared they had.

But that loud-mouth Garin had alerted his allies and now, the hope exerting dominance over them all was gone... He would have to share, and that was fine with the prize before him, as one of the three shinobi's resolve broke at the hopeless situation and began darting back to camp.

When in range he stepped out and loosed the scimitar around her, binding her and pulled her back: she had at least a C-cup with cute little dimples: remarkable for her age. He covered her mouth and stuck one dirty, callused finger inside. She bit but he didn't even feel it.

She would be his prize today, the fat douche's Toe and Jam could have the boys... Nori wouldn't approve of his next step but in the end Nori was not someone Zarackarack needed.

In fact Nori would be the next target for Zarackarack, he would claim control of this bandit militia tonight.

Throwing a smoke bomb at his feet he was gone before the two boys, chatting furiously back and forth, even noticed.

Jam: We are the ultimate partners! you two cannot even compare!

Toe: WATCH US LARRY!!

Toe and Jam: Rendan: FAT FRIAR CANNONBALL!

*Toe (Bandit 4) Jumped in the air, curled into the fetal position, and started spinning speedily at Shitsumei... steel seen underneath his sleeve

Jam (Bandit 3) Curled up in the fetal position, and began rolling speedily at Chouseki... steel also seen beneath his sleeves.

#####################################

*Nori suddenly shoots away from the Jenga game and comes up beside the slow moving Larry when he hears Toe and Jam screaming of shinobi... things were all starting to fit together... unfortunately

Larry (Bandit 2): ya see... the thing.... is... the small ones are... shin.... obi...

Osumbu: so I gathered.

Larry: you gonna... help...?

Osumbu: To interfere with their fight would be worse then death for those two... We'll pray for them and hope it works out... if not get your bow ready the moment they pass on...

Larry: ...shouldn't we try... to save them... if things... look... hopeless... they are weak... not... likely to beat... two shin... obi.

Osumbu: Like I said, they'd rather die then have you rescue them.

Larry: fair e... nuff

Osumbu: I have to go and start gathering organizing a stockpiling of the crates, kill them both quickly.

Larry: okay... but geez... are they... are probably... so fast...





and so... troublesome...

*Chosueki and Shtisumei both knew what they had to do before the two started flying threw the air.*

Shitsumei: NOW!!

*Shitsumei threw the kunai in his left hand straight down, making it dig deeply into the dirt beneath his feet, then was pushed into the wagon by a blueish blur (read last spoiler).*

Shitsumei: Damn that hurt, you think you coulda been a little rougher?!

Chouseki: Dont worry I'll buy you breakfast after this, haha!

*Shitsumei wasn't paying attention but instead went to the side of the wagon and looked threw the flap to see the two bandits hitting the ground and trying to find their opponents.*

Shitsumei: KAI!!

*The entire camp was rocked by an explosion, and the entense heat even peirced the canvas of the wagon.*

Chouseki: Hey what are those?

*Shitsumei looked where Chouseki was pointing and saw a crate filled with wepons and other illegal items.*

Shitsumei: Hell we could use those!


*Shitsumei started scattering the kunai, hari, and makibishi all around the edge of the caravan. Shitsumei then cut a slit in the cavas and slipped out the opposite side of the wagon from the explosion.*

Shitsumei: Lets get the puck outa here!

*Chouseki crawled out of the wagon then started looking around worriely.*

Chouseki: What happened to Meku?!

Shitsumei placed 5 explosive notes in a circle in the center of the wagon, so when they were set off all the wepons would be shot out like shrapnel in a circle

[Antagonist]

*Toe and Jam were stunned that their Fat Friar Cannonball rendan had been stopped! and in fact they were blown back to where they were before beginning it AND their clothes were disintegrated from the explosion.

Now Toe and Jam took their true form, 2 brothers in sumo sized suits of armor!

Jam: ei yiyi!!!!! its hot in here!!!!

Toe: nooo Our cloths are gone! now they can see our secret!!!!

Toe and Jam: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jerry: you two... find them...

Toe and Jam: right Chief!

Toe (Bandit 3): We'll flip it Fat Friar Style!

Toe runs at the wagon then curls up and rolls speedily at it, crashing into it and sending it backwards while Jam backs up to get a running start then runs as well, flipping in the air and through the canvas speedily. He will end up right above the genins current spot!

Larry: so... embarrassing...

*This all happens while the two genin are inside opening crates and gathering weapons, they crash into the wagon and send it flying right after the genin get out. If they don't watch out they'll get hit by it!

*Items and hostages are getting stock piled closer to the house to protect them

the two brothers launch at the targets and then if the opponent dodges Toe grabs Jams hands and twirls him like a discus right at the opponent


http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/Von_Rockin_Roy/Tayumi-Mission-2.gif

[TheWhiteFang]

*The wagon started crashing towards Shitsumei when he noticed how dark it got.*

Shitsumei: Above us!

*The fat bandit was tumbleing down as Shitsumei and Chousekei jumped to opposite sides, dodgeing both the wagon and the fat sumo crashing down.*

Shitsumei: (Damn this is going to hurt!)

Shitsumei: KAI!!

*The wagon dissappeared in a massive explosion of smoke and fire that shot hundreds of tiny weapons outword like shrapnel. Shitsumei was blown twice as far back from the explosion since he was mid-air but still caught several hari in his left arm, and a few near misses cause gashes along his entire body. Shitsumei rose slowly, the world around him was moving at a slow pace, his ears still ringing from the explosion. Shitsumei looked at the burning wreckage scattered across the battlefield. Chouseki was no where to be seen.*

[Antagonist]

Toe and Jam: Team Rocket Blasting Off again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*they disappear into the night sky

*Finally the sun was beginning to show over the horizon. The sight of the explosion looked like a war... no piece of dried out grass left unscorched like ashes after the waking storm...

at least in all rationality... losses were minimal.

Larry: ... so everyone... died? *puts bow away* ... just to make... sure... Jengs (Bandit 1)... your our number... one tracker... go scout... out the destruction site... and report ...back... as... ap... well be... fortifying... our position throughout...the night... I'll go talk to... "her"... *shudders*

Osumbu (aside): it cant be over... at least we'll have the advantage in the morning. common Kaizen: lets go see mom and dad and get some shut-eye.

###############################

Despite the death and fire that ran through this deserted ravine these past days dew still found its way on to a few thirsty pieces of crab grass: tears of a girl that lies on her back. Her cloths gone and abused she lies with a man on par with Nori... dead between her thighs.

When she realized resistance wouldn't work and her begging was laughed at she played along with the mans sick desires, and he believed her...And when his head descended and his grip loosed Meku swung a rock down on his temple.

Zarackaru, a mountain of a man, died instantly...

she could not lie her in the crab grass forever though... she couldn't stand by as her allies died in self-pity again... no, she had to get up and find them.

She would never forget this injustice... but grabbing the keys and documents off Zarackarak's, high-ranking officer of the bandits perhaps she would grow from it...

and she would help her new friends.

OOC: you get to RP Jenks, he's an expert at stealth and tracking so prepare to get suprised!

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/Von_Rockin_Roy/Tayumi-Mission-3.gif

[TheWhiteFang]

*The area was still heavy with smoke from the explosion, every blade of grass charred to a crisp. There wasn't even a trace of the two sumo's that were right at the heart of the explosion, and Chouseki was no where to be seen, but Shitsumei didn't give up hope. Chouseki was resourceful and he also mastered Shushin, he probably sitting somehwere laughing about the mess Shitsumei got them into. Those where the only things Shitsumei could think about at he dragged his own battered and bleeding body threw the devistation searching for his long time friend.*

Shitsumei: (He was on the other side of the explosion but he couldn't of gotten much farther.)

*Shitsumei finally cleared the veil of smoke and saw Chousekei sitting on a tree that was blown over by the explosion, its leaves still burning.*

Chouseki: Damn Shitsumei, how many tags did you use?!

*Shitsumei was overcome with a feeling of releif and annoyance.*

Shitsumei: Dumbass that wasn't me, there must have been something in those boxes that was explosive!

Chouseki: Well whats done is done, right now we have to find Mek...

SFX: THUD!

*Chouseki was throw sideways by multiple kunai thrown from an unseen opponent.*

Shitsumei: CHOUSEKI!!!

*Shitsumei drew one of his blades with his right arm and tried to draw the other but was stopped by the shooting pain cause by the Hari lodged into his bone. Shitsumei instantly took a defensive stance and scanned the smoke screen for who had thrown the kunai.*

Shitsumei: SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!!

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

*Jenks' attack was sucessful, one of the genin was hit without even noticing the kunai and the other didn't even know where they came from. His years of stealth training had paid off and now he was going to be vastly rewarded for taking down these two.*

Shitsumei: SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!!

*The young genin had drawn his blade and was shouting into the smoke. If only he knew that he was fighting an opponent so skilled in stealth that his victims rarely ever saw him coming. And now he was going to have some fun with this one.*

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

*Shitsumei was still scanning the smoke when he barely caught the glint of steel hitting sunlight and brought up his sword just in time to deflect the kunai send soaring for his gut.*

Shitsumei: (Damnit, that wouldn't of been fatal but it woulda hurt like hell. This bastard must be toying with me.)

*Shitsumei knew that he didn't have a choice, this smoke was too thick for him to see anything. If only he had enough time before the mission to practice this a few more times. Shitsumei forced his left hand to the base of the swords grip and chanelled all of his chakra into his hands, watching it disappear into his blade.*

Shitsumei: (Just a little more!)

*Shitsumei was already drained from haveing to endure not one but two explosions, but he still had enough chakra to pull this off. The smoke surrounding Shitsumei's blade started to swirl around in the invisible tornado being formed around his blade.*

Shitsumei: AHHH!!!!

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

Shitsumei: (Damn, Koukou is taking forever! I have already setup the whole camp and he is still trying to find some fuel for that damned machine.)

*Shitsumei stared as his fathers swords lying on their sides beneath his pack. The hilt of his right one bore a white strip running from the blade threw the guard and right to the base. That day of training raced threw Shitsumei's head, the feeling of pure power right up until he released a massive whirlwind of chakra.*

Shitsumei: (If only I could use that attack, I would be unstopable.)

*Shitsumei reached over and drew his sword, inspecting the blade from tip to guard.*

Shitsumei: (Koukou is going to take forever so I might as well get some training in.)

*Shitsumei walked with his sword in both hands, taking an offencive stance against a nearby tree. Shitsumei chanelled as much chakra into his blade as he could, causeing an invisible whirlwind of chakra to form around the blade.*

Shitsumei: (Alright now just focus on nothing but my blade, I have to put everything into my blade.*

*Shitsumei drew back his blade, chanelling every bit of chakra he could muster into his blade.*

Shitsumei: (Now release it!)

*Shitsumei sliced his blade horizontally, following threw until it had made a half circle in the air, causeing a small blast of wind to strike the tree causeing a few leaves to fall to the ground, but leaving the bark unscaved. Shitsumei collapsed onto one knee, diging his blade into the groud to keep himself stable.*

Shitsumei: *Gasping for air* Damnit I cant get another one out.

*The sound of a rumbling engine and birds scattering as their perches were knocked by a speeding machine.*

Shitsumei: (I guess he didn't take as long as I thought.)

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

Shitsumei: AHHHH!!!

*Shitsumei slashed his blade horizontalling, as if decaptitating an invisible foe in the smoke. A burst of with shot into the smoke, causing it to disperse outwords, clearing the entire area. Standing not to far from the once thick tree-line stood a man dressed all in gray, trying his best to hide behind the burnt out bushes.*

*Shitsumei dropped his blade to his side, breathing heavily.*

Shitsumei: You have nowhere to hide now...

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

*Jenks knew that is cover was blown the second the genin sliced threw the air, but it was not until he looked into his now deep gray eyes that the bandit truely began to fear for his life.*

[TheWhiteFang]

*Jenks knew he couldn't survive a fight with this kid, he would be cut to shreds if he even attempted to attack him. That left him only one option...run. Jenks turned away from the demon before him and ran with all his might towards the one man he though would be able to kill the genin. Hopefully Zarackaru hadn't abandoned his post north of the carvan. Jenks ran with all his might, not daring to look back in see if the shinobi was following him. He was almost to the tree line, hoping that Zarackaru had put up there for the night, when he saw the most beautiful blonde girl emerge from it, completly naked and covered in blood. For a moment he thought he was in heaven, until, that is, he saw Zarackaru's spear in her hands. How could such a small think have defeated someone so powerful. That was Jenks' last thought as the spear completely removed his head in one swipe.*

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

*Shitsumei thought all hope was lost as Jenks fled, he was just too exaughsted to keep up. But then Jenks' head seemed to just seperate from his body, as it fell to the ground. It was then that Shitsumei saw the form a beautiful naked girl aproach the corpse. Shitsumei was momentarily taken back by the girls perfect curves and perfect breasts, but then he saw her face, stained with blood.*

Shitsumei: Meku?...

*Meku didn't even look up after hearing her name, but just stood there, staring at the still blinking head lying at her feet. Shitsumei could see the bruises and scratches around her thighs and could only image what happened to her after they seperated. Shitsumei pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped it around her.*

Shitsumei: Dont worry...its over for now.

*Meku drop the spear that was in her hands, then turned and burried her head into Shitsumei's chest, crying uncontrollably. Shitsumei could do nothing but wrap his arms around her and try to comfort her.*

Chouseki: Damn Shitsumei, you work fast!

*Shitsumei looked up, blinking with disbeleif, at his freind standing infront of him, completely unharmed.*

Shitsumei: But, how?!

Chouseki: Haha, you think such an obvious attack as that could kill me?! I simply Kawarimied with one of the bandits corpses then went off looking for Meku. I thought you would be able to take on that weakling alone...

*Shitsumei couldn't beleive that his eyes were so slow that he hadn't even noticed that switch, but he couldn't keep putting the others at risk.*

Shitsumei: Chouseki, I need you to do something...take meku back to the camp and get her some clothes, I should have some in my backpack. Then head back to the village and wait for the backup.

Chouseki: What are you talking about?

Shitsumei: Just get out of here and wait for help, I've got to go take care of some unfinished buisness.

Chouseki: But the mission is already ruined, we should both retreat and just wait for the anbu to clear out the bandits.

Shitsumei: Fuck the mission, I'm not going to let those bandits hurt anyone else!

*Chouseki sighed heavily.*

Choueski: Eh, your not going to listen to me anyways so there is no point in argueing. Here take these, they'll be of more use to you than me.

*Chouseki threw Shitsumei a small brown pouch filled with small round pellets.*

Chouseki: They are some blood and chakra pills, I thought that we would get into a pinch out here. They should at least help you out some.

Shitsumei: Thanks Chouseki...you truely are a friend.

*Chouseki walked towards Shitsumei and Meku, who was still crying into Shitsumeis chest, and wrapped his arm around Meku.*

Chouseki: Come on, we have to get out of here.

*Chouseki pulled Meku off Shitsumei and led her towards the now burnt out fire that lay just beyond the tree line.*

Chouseki: Good lucky Shitsumei, and dont go dieing on me, or who would I have to slaughter in Shogi.

*Shitsumei masked his fear in laughter as he turned back towards the caravan, turning his back on his long time friend that now lead Meku back towards safety. He truely hoped that he would have a chance to play Shogi one last time with Chouseki before he died. Shitsumei couldn't explain how but he knew he was walking towards the greatest fight of his life.*

[Antagonist]

SWOOSHSWOOSH!!

*The last of the genin's barely manages to collapse on his back to dodge the speeding sword that came out of nowhere, eerily similer to jenks stealth attacks.

did Jenks somehow survive being decapitated and just now launched a decapitating attack of his own?

no

but Zarackarack was alive, he had wrapped his head and gathered the sword Meku hadn't bothered taking.

The monster known only as Zarackarack!
http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/108/e/4/Desert_warrior__by_czarnystefan.jpg

Truly a beast of a man to kill. Zarackarack may have looked odd, but his presence was still very much felt. Oddly as well, his voice was very different and distant... still a man of few words but the biting hateful edge gone and now only a sickening sound of a pure uniform and boring hatred was made: the most dangerous type. The blow to the head had changed him... and if he could get any worse he was now.

It wouldn't be smart to think the calm, uniform voice as more meek then his former snarl

Zarackarack: hello genin, I will be your opponent.

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

*The final three noted bandits of nori's outlaw battalion were in the house, excluding Zarackarack, and had just finished a discussion which had been brief but deep and their plan lay before them

The Westerner Jerry Ralen, The Desert Cutie (aka "her") Itokuzu Ninfu, and of course Nori Osumbu.

http://fc02.deviantart.com/images/i/2003/43/a/3/Wanderer.jpg

Jerry: so its.... settled...

Ninfu: kekeke, this is exciting boys! I can feel the anticipation welling up in my heart. These genin amuse me ^_^

Jerry: right... im off any... way... ill be... in place... soon...

*Jerry leaves

Osumbu: Ninfu, despite sansato's efforts and the genin's success so far we can still come out ahead and please sansato. I'm depending on you to not get sidetracked and preform your part admirably though! okay!?!?!!?

Ninfu: of course luv! ^^ the kids won't know what hit them. >.> I am teh off >.<"

Osumbu: ...

*Ninfu leaves and Osumbu peers towards the unconscious parents of Kenmaru resting arm in arm upon a futon in the corner, then walking over he pulls the mother up by the hair forcibly, drawing a rare muffled moan from the woman.

Osumbu: god damn it! ... I didn't need this!

Kaizen: Nori-sensei! please stop

*tears, unknown to Nori these days began streaming down his face. hurt in his eyes.

Osumbu: I didn't fucking need this!

*he draws a very thin dagger out of his sleeve and rests it against her throat

Kenmaru's Mother: you will burn for all you have done child.

Osumbu: dammit...

*He throws the dagger down and turns away, hands to his face in mental anguish

Kenmaru's mother: and for all you didn't do

*with surprising quickness for her age the woman launched a stunning elbow towards the back of the outlaw leader's head!




*and in return got her elbow shattered and flew back into the futon, collapsing on her husband on the bed and cursing in anguish.

*The moans would overwhelm all sound for the next few hours... Nori tended to her wounds.

Osumbu: ...

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/Von_Rockin_Roy/Tayumi-Mission-4.gif

enviroment:

wooden covered wagons, scorched trees, sparse patches of dead grass among the sand, many rocks, cliffside on north and south side as this is a within a ravine, a couple dead bodies, destroyed wagon as well

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei was copletely taken off guard as sound of something massive came from behind him. He could only make his whole body fall like a limp stone to the ground to avoid the enormous blade that swept mere inches from his nose. Shitsumei recognized the blade as the one that Meku use to decapitate the cowardly bandit. Shitsumei quickly pulled himself to his feet, feeling sharp jolts of pain from the Hari still lodged in his left arm. Shitsumei turned and faced the massive beast of a man standing before him.*

Shitsumei: (Damnit, if I was in a better condition I would teach this guy the meaning of the word pain, but it looks like this is going to be a little tough...)

*Shitsumei dug the sword in his right hand into the ground and fumble in the pocket of his sweatshirt, finally finding the small brown pouch Chouseki had given him, and produced a small red pill and a small blue pill from the pouch and quickly tosses them into his mouth. As Shitsumei crunchs the pills and swallows them he feels a cooling sensation as the chakra pulses threw his body. At the same time the blood pouring from the three Hari wounds begins to clot and stop flowing.*

Shitsumei: (That's better...)

*Shitsumei places his right hand on his blade, leaping forward towards Zarackarack, his blade trailing behind him. Shitsumei flicked a small and sinister grin as he thought of the intense battle that was about to come.*

As Shitsumei fumbled in his pocket he attacked an explosive note to one of his remaining kunai.

[Dream Catcher]

Zarackarak : AHAHHAH !!! *His monstrous voice filled the area as he picked up his sword and began spinning it in a figure "8" in front of his body* COME GENIN

[TheWhiteFang]

???: AHAHHAH !!! COME GENIN

*Shitsumei was actually pretty astonished at how fast he could swing that massive sword. However Shitsumei knew that this man was still just a giant brute and he would have to put him down.*

Shitsumei: Hey dumbass, I may be a genin but I'm still stronger that you!

*Shitsumei pulled his eyelid down and stuck his tongue out at the brute.*

Shtisumei: Catch me if you can!!

*Shitsumei darted off back into the mess of carvans, disappearing from sight quickly.*

As soon as Shitsumei was sure he was out of sight he created a bushin and sent it running while Shitsumei remained behind in the shadows

[Dream Catcher]

*A smile cave over Zarack's face, but it could not be seen behind his taped up face*

Zarack : . . .

*As the genin darted off into the midst of the caravans, the Brute stopped swinging his sword and slowly began walking to his left and into the trees*

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei stopped in the middle of the circle of caravans, shealthing his sword and launched a combo of hand signs.*

[Dream Catcher]

Zarackarak's muscles are twitching

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei finishes the hand signs and sits perfectly still, scanning for his opponent.*

OOC: DC hurry up so I can hurt you...

[Dream Catcher]

Zarack : COME OUT COME OUT!!!!

*A monstrous voice shook the caravan*

Zarack is moving more left... hes now by the second caravan... WF cant see notin'

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei was temporarilly stunned by the booming voice, but quickly regained his sanity and focused on the situation at hand.*

Shitsumei: (It looks like this plan is a bust...time for plan B.)

*The Shitsumei standing in the center of the carvan disappeared into a cloud of smoke. The real Shitsumei had used the yell to locate his opponent and quickly sent a kunai towards his opponents abdomen.*

[Antagonist]

Zarackarak: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Random bandit 1: omg its the zarackarak manly laugh! I totally want his babies!

Random Bandit 2: grrrr! Zarackarak's at it again. hope its not one of ours this time... we've lost enough!... and wtf was that babies shout out Arnold?

Random bandit 3: perhaps we should go help if he's engaging the genin?

Random bandit 2: you help? you mean steal his kill

Random bandit 3: I'm not useless, I think I could truthfully contribute!... just cause everyone thinks he doesn't want help doesn't mean he wouldn't appreciate good solid help

Random bandit 1: noooooo, he's too damn sexy for help!

Random bandit 2: dude... listen to yourself! even if you did contribute in some way he'd kill you for taking away his fun! he enjoys the hunt moron!

Random bandit 3: I disagree... Just cause your all afraid of him doesn't mean he's insane! like any human he will appreciate me lending a helpful hand

Random bandit 1: your help phails in the presence of his many biceps! Ooh lala!

Random bandit 2: whatever man... but when your lying in a puddle of blood wondering why he didn't appreciate your help like a normal human remember zarackarak isn't human... he's a kind of monster.

Random Bandit 1: oooo, such a profound quote about my love!

Random Bandit 2: ya, you can quote me on that... just not around him...

Random Bandit 3: well bye, your just a couple pansies!

Random Bandit 2: well your half right...

Random bandit 1: well I never!

OOC: crazy factor introduced! random bandit 3 heading to the scene to help Zarackarak! how will this befuddle things!!!! I'll rp him!

[Dream Catcher]

SFX : Whoooosh

*A kunai flew through the tree trunks and got stuck in the last one*

Zarack : AHAHAHA !!

*Zarack's crazy laughter erupted once more. But was this the laughter of a maniac or the exhibition of love and appreciation for this life??!!?! That did not matter, for suddenly Zarack's might sword was super close to the place where the kunai came from*

[TheWhiteFang]

*The massive blade ripped the wagon into two peices that collapsed within on itself. No body or sign of anything living could be found within the wreckage. A few meters away under another wagon a shinobi clad in black grinned slightly as the trap was sprung. The kunai that lodged into the tree truck began to spark momentarily.*

SFX: BOOOM!!!!

*The whole area was rocked by the massive explosion. Shitsumei quickly shot from his hiding place, hoping to catch the bandit still shell shocked from the explosion.*

[Dream Catcher]

SFX : BOOOOOOM

*Zarack felt something hit hit from the back, but his powerful stance could not be toppled. Suddenly the puny genin jumped out of the caravan and charged at the monster*

Zarack : COME GENIN !!!!! *His bloodshot eyes opened ever so widely as his hands began to move. Bot hands pulled back with mighty force, but the left pulled harder. As he pulled, both his hand moved to his left. The nearly invisible wires from the sword ever so close to the genin's elbow level*

Just makin ya nervous :p

I guess u better fall for this and the surprise is next

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei luckily saw the glint of something floating in the air, wisking like spider-webs caught in the breeze. Shitsumei quickly channeled chakra into his sword and brought it up, ready to defend any attacks launched at him.*

[Dream Catcher]

Zarack : TOO SLOW !!!!!!!!!

*As the genin began to raise his sword, the wires already began to wrap around him. The time was NOW ! With a powerful tug, Shitsumei fell on his back and began to get pulled towards the monster. With a swing of the leg, dust kicked up in the air as the puny genin went up with it. The wires began to get loose, but the rendan was almost complete. As the helpless genin flew in the air, Zarack appeared next to the genin and grabbing his sword with both of his arms*

SFX : Thudddd

*The sword hit the boy with its flat side, sending him pummeling to the ground. No, no, you dont understand. The thrust was downward, so Zarack was accelerating the boy to the ground*

SFX : BOOOOOM !!!!!

*DUST ROSE EVERYWHERE, AS THE BOY LAY IN A TINY CRATER CAUSED BY THE POWERFUL ATTACK*

Zarack : AHAHAHAHAH

*His bloodshot eyes met the genin's. It was time to die*

Zarack : Bye bye Genin

*Zarack raised his sword over his head, EXECUTION STYLE*

OoC : Okay so i didnt even see u RP taking out the sword.. maybe it was earlier ?? either way... The movements of the wires were too fast and even if u reacted, raise the sword to ur LEFT side (im assuming ur right handed) AND Channel chakra into it ... LET THE JUDGES DECIDE

[TheWhiteFang]

Calling fight for judging before I launch gay save

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei could see the end of his life. He was battered and beaten and was about to have his head seperated from his body. Shitsumei looked up at the face of his would be executioner standing above him. Shitsumei had only blinked once before he noticed the hari lodged in the bandits shoulder and arm.*

Bandit: Argh!!!

*Shitsumei watched and the bandit fell on his side, the bandits blade falling inches from Shitsumei head and digging into the earth.*

Chouseki: Once again your giving up too easy...

*Shitsumei could feel himself being lifted up and soon the wind was rushing threw his hair. Shitsumei pulled himself from a darkened world and found himself on Chouseki's back, soaring threw the forest.*

OOC: Well thats it for me, hope VRR comes back and I get to see how this was going to end

Shitsumei: Chou-chouseki...where are...

Chouseki: Shutup and lie back, this isnt your fight anymore!

*Shitsumei could feel himself slipping back into the darkness as he saw the flash of some shadow shooting back towards the fight.*

Chouseki: GOODLUCK!

*Shitsumei felt his body go limp as the world slowly went dark around him.*

[Antagonist]

whitefang can continue this mission if he wants for a mission pay of $400 when completed (depending on mission score it will be more or less then the $400... do a good job for higher cash amounts)

DC gets $50 for his pvp win

[TheWhiteFang]

OOC: alright guess im rolling with it (sry for any cap errors, using my dads com and the shift key is a little iffy)

*Shitsumei awakened a few minutes later, surrounded by trees and people.
Shitsumei could make out the distinct sound of Chouseki talking to an old lady.*

???: What happened to this poor lad, it looks like he was beaten to within an inch of his life!

Chouseki: I dont know, the guy that did this to him was huge.

???: well I hope you lost him before you brought this kid back or we are going to be in a world of trouble.

Chouseki: Dont worry I have someone taking care of it.

???: Hopefully not that cute little girl you had us take care of not long ago.

Chouseki: Dont worry she can take care of herself.

???: Well I better take care of him before I have to go close her wounds as well.

*Shitsumei could hear the old ladies hands begin to rustle then he felt a warming sensation throughout his body. *

Shitsumei: AH! Wha-whats going on?!

*Shitsumei tried to push himself up but feels himself stopped by a hand pushing down on his chest.*

Chouseki: Just lie still Shitsumei, it will be over soon.

*Shitsumei could feel the warming sensation move up and down his now fully numb legs.*

???: His legs have taken considerable damage and he might have also damaged his spinal collum...

Chouseki: So, fix it!

???: You stupid kid its not that simple, medical jutsu can only accomplish so much.


Chouseki: Well do what you can and make it fast, those bandits could find us in anytime!

???: Dont worry I should be done in about twenty or thirty minutes, but I suggest we get him to a hospital before he gets any worse.

*Shitsumei could feel his whole body go numb as he slipped back into unconciousness.*

[TheWhiteFang]

*A single hawk chick was squirming in the tall grass, seaming to scream for his mother to come rescue him. The chick was oblivious to the mongoose storming its way towards the chick. The mongoose lept with lightning speed and crashed into the chick, severing its spine in two in the process.*

*Shitsumei was forced back into conciousness by the sensation of acid being forced down his throat. His esaphagous burned as it tried to force the liquid back to where it came from.*

???: Dont fight it, just suck it up and swallow.

*Shitsumei forced the strange fluid down his throat, fighting the gag-reflex.*

SFX: COUGH COUGH!!

Shitsumei: What the hell did you just shove down my throat?! And who the hell are you?!

???: Medicine, and that doesn't really matter right now.

*Shitsumei pulled himself to the sitting position and turned to face his would be attacker or doctor, he still hadn't decided which.*

Shitsumei: What the hell is going on? Who are you? Where is Chouseki and the old lady?

*Shitsumei now noticed the fact that the person treating him was infact only a few years older than himself. He was dressed all in black and wore some sort of hood that wrapped around his hair. His eyes stared into Shitsumei like he wasn't there, seeming to look beyond him at some unknown entity.*

???: *Sigh* Fine if it will speed things up, I'm currently treating you for major injuries, I already told you it doesn't matter, and they are over there taking a little nap.

*The strange kid pointed over to a tree where Chouseki was lying next to an old woman dressed it a white garmet with a large red plus sign sown into the front of it. They were both snoreing loudly with similar fountains of drool pooring down their chins, forming a small lake of spit beneath them. Shitsumei then turned back to the boy who was now fiddling with a large pouch that was flung over his shoulder. After a few seconds of fumbling he produced a large black crystal engrossed in a perfect metal trim that formed strange shapes around the crystal. The boy held the crystal orb up to his face and began concentrating on it intensly. Shitsumei gazed in amazement as the orb began to emit a dark chakra that appeared to constantly collapse and condense itself into the crystal ball. This process went on for several minutes before the strange boy stop consentrating and quickly returned to digging in his pouch. After a few seconds he produced two small clay flask and a small black funnel. He lifted one of the flask to his mouth and bit down on its cork top and pulled it open with a small pop. He then places the funnel into the top of the flask skillfully with one hand and returned to consentrating on the orb.*

Shitsumei: What the hell are you doing?

???: You sure do ask alot of questions for someone that is injured.

*The boy placed the orb over the flask and it began glowing more billiantly than ever. As the orb was directly above the funnel a strange purple-ish liquid began leaking from the crystal at a steady flow. Just as quickly as the flask had filled up the boy had already transfered the funnel and began working on the second flask. After the flask began to slightly over flow the boy had returned the crystal ball to its resting place in his pouch. He then recorked the flask and shoved one in Shitsumeis face.*

???: Here drink this...

*Shitsumei removed the cork and sniffed the vile liquid that had the faint smell of a corpse rotting in raw sewage.*

Shitsumei: Hell no, you drink it.

*The boy looked at Shitsumei with a glare of pure death that cause Shitsumei to be strucken with pure fear.*

???: Drink it...

*Shitsumei quickly downed the small flask in one gulp. As the liquid hit his throat he felt a warm numbing sensation follow it all the way down into his stomach.*

Shitsumei: What is that stuff, it feels great...

???: It's a pain killer, it should help you deal with the pain your going to be in as your back heals.

Shitsumei: My back, but that should take...

*Suddenly white feathers began to fall all around Shitsumei as he began to feel drowsy.*

???: Just get some sleep, it will all be over soon.

*Shitsumei looked deep into the boys eyes as the world around him began to slowly return to darkness.*

Shitsumei: Not again....

[TheWhiteFang]

The mongoose was feasting on the corpse of the tiny chick, swollowing it in a few bites. Unfortunantly for the mongoose his little hunt hadn't gone unnoticed, a large hawk was circle the grave and bloody scene, unable to save the poor chick intime, but it wouldn't allow the beast to walk away unpunished. The hawk quickly tucked in its wing and dove towards the earth in a flurry of feathers.

(Wake up, you have slept for long enough young one. Kai!)

*Shitsumei strained as his eyes were overcome by a blinding light flooding his vision, only partially blocked by the outline of some dark figure. Shitsumei felt as if the whole world was rushing back into his body as it began to stir awake. The image of the man standing above him with a cloak pulled firmly over his face. Before Shitsumei could say a word the cloaked figure began retreating back into the forest. Shitsumei's mind snapped back from confusion as he realized that whoever this person was he was trying to escape. He forced himself up and quickly scanned his surroundings. However he was too late and the figure was gone, the only living thing visible was a hawk flying off in the distance and two bodies hudled together nearby under a tree.*

Shitsumei: (Chouseki...)

*Shitsumei pulled himself to his feet, bracing for a wave of pain that would never come. The memory of the boy clad in black instantly filled Shitsumei's mind.*

Shitsumei: (Wow that kids medicine really worked.)

*Shitsumei flexed his arm and tightened then released his fist, testing every muscle in search of some ache or ailment to no avail. After a few minutes Shitsumei gave up on his body and focused on the task at hand, Chouseki.*

Shitsumei:...HA HA HA HA HA!

*What Shitsumei saw lieing before him was a scene of pure amusement. Chouseki was curled up with the old woman in a position that would of been disturbing if it wasn't extremely funny. They were also lieing in a pool of drool that looked like it would of drowned them if Shitsumei had left them alone for any longer. Shitsumei brought his hands up to his chest and wrapped his fingers together forming a hand seal. Shitsumei focused a small amount of chakra in to his index and middle finger, then placed them on Chouseki's forehead.*

Shitsumei: Kai!

*Shitsumei poored the chakra from his fingers into Chouseki's head, hoping to distrupt the genjutsu trapping him.*

SFX: Gurgle, Slurp

Chouseki: Ugh..Shitsumei...what the hell are you doing walking around!

Shitsumei: I dont know, what are you doing with that old lady?

*Chouseki turned from Shitsumei and looked at the still sleeping face of the old woman, curled up beside him. It was then that he smelt the pool of drool gathering beneath him.*

Chouseki: Ahk! Blah! What the hell is this?!

*Shitsumei was overcome by another wave on uncontrollable laughter as his old friend began traying in futility to remove the drool that his clothes were soaked with*

Shitsumei: Haha! Go change your clothes if you dont like it, speaking of which where is my backpack?

*Shitsumei looked to his left then looked to his right then an image flashed threw his mind of him lying on Chouseki's back and a ninja darting past him towards where the brutish bandit was recovering from Chouseki's hari.*

Shitsumei: Chouseki...where is Meku?...

*The face that Chouseki made at her name would be remembered by Shitsumei for the rest of his life.*

[TheWhiteFang]

Shitsumei: YOU DID WHAT?!

*Shitsumei could not beleive what he had just heard. The fact that Chouseki would be so reckless surprised even Shitsumei who had known him for years.*

Chousekil: I'm sorry but we had no choice, you were too injured to move on your own and she said she had some unfinished buisness with that guy...

*Shitsumei clenched his hand into a fist and slamed it into the tree next to him, cause a small dribble of blood to flow down the bark from his nuckles.*

Shitsumei: You fool, if he used me as a punching bag what the hell do you think he is going to do to her!

*Chouseki's head seamed to sink lower and lower into his shoulders as Shitsumei continued to tear into him.*

Shitsumei: I mean if her sensei wouldn't even let her fight with a jounin backing her up what is she supposed to do alone against this guy?


Chouseki: Damnit, you didn't give us much choice! You charged headlong and alone into that fight and got your ass kicked! Meku made a choice to buy me some time to get you out of there, and I knew that if she didn't then that big brute would of simply sliced us both in half while i was trying to pull you out of harms way.

*Shitsumei paused for a moment allowing the stupidity of his earlier actions to sink in. However he knew that there was no way to change the past and he would have to act fast if he wished to save Meku.*


Shitsumei: Alright then there is no use in argueing, lets just hurry up and try to get to her in time.

Chouseki: Fine, but once we have her we should just pull out before this mission gets any worse.

*Shitsumei and Chouseki both dart off towards the still rising smoke of the caravan, seeming to forget about the old lady still lying asleep under the tree.*

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

*Zarackarak could not beleive how lucky he was today, not only did he get to have his way with a young girl and pound another kid into the dirt, but now the girl came back to him for another round of punishment. It had been fun to toy with her, only causeing minor cuts that while painful are completely harmless. Now the already battered girl that had come before him was once again collapsed on the ground bruised and bleeding.*

Zarackarak: So little girl, have you had enough or do you want me to continue this torture?

*The girl looked at him with her deep blue eyes full of rage and hate.*

Girl: I am going to kill you...

*The girl attempted to pull herself from the ground but the hundreds of cuts up and down her legs quickly filled her body with a burning sensation of pain that send her crashing back to the grass.*

Zarackarak: HAHA! You are truely a pathetic sight. I guess I should stop playing around and go take care of that Nori fool.

*Zarackarak pulled his blade from the pathc of dirt it had been stuck in. He walked up to the girl and raise the blade high over his head, determined to slice the girl into two.*

Zarackarak: Goodbye my little playmate.

*Zarackarak smirked as he began to drive the blade downwards towards the girl. This was it, the first step in his rise to power. While Nori was back and hiding he had dispatched the shinobi that threatened the bandits. Everything was going good. It was then that he noticed the large white blade that was protruding from his chest and the fact that the girl was no longer lying on the ground.*

Zarackarak: But...how?...when?

*The blade was riped out of Zarackaraks chests with a sickening twisting and jerking motion, causing massive laserations to his internal organs. As Zarackarak collapsed into grass drenched with a mixture of his and the girls blood, a familiar figure walked forward and stood over him.*

Zarackarak: But...you were...all but dead...there's no way...

*Massive amounts of blood began bleeding into Zarackaraks lungs and stomach cause him to cough up entire liters at once.*

???: I told you that I was stronger than you, even if I am a genin.

*In one swift motion the long white blade sliced threw Zarackaraks soft neck and liberated his head from his shoulders. Zarackaraks cold dark eyes continued to blink and they began to cloud over with the enternal darkness. Though the last image ever seen by those eyes would be burned into them for eternity. The image of a mongoose's corpse nearby covered in gashes and holes.*

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei aproached the corpse of the bandit and began whipeing the blood from his blade on the only part of its clothes that wasn't drenched in blood.*

Shitsumei: Blah, even this guys blood smells bad!

*Chouseki ignored Shitsumei's smartass coments and quickly ran to Meku's side and began to shred his clothes to hopelessly dress her countless wounds.*

Shitsumei: Don't bother Chouseki, there are two many for you to dress them all. Here take these.

*Shitsumei dug his hand into his pockets and produced two crimson red pills and threw them at Chouseki, who quickly snatched them out of the air and popped them in Meku's mouth. Shitsumei then stuck his hand back into his pocket and ran his fingers over a smooth clay surface.*

Shitsumei:Also give her this, the blood pills might help with the bleeding but this will take care of the pain.

*Shitsumei walked over to Chouseki and handed him a small clay flask.*

Chouseki: What is this?

Shitsumei: It's medicine, just give it to her and shutup.

*Shitsumei sheathed his blade and began to walk deeper into the wagons now littered with blood and scorch marks. Chouseki began following Shitsumei.*

Chouseki: So your just going to go and get yourself into more trouble?

*Shitsumei stopped and looked up at the sky, now glowing a deep orange with the setting sun. Shitsumei could slightly make out the first star of the night peircing threw the crimson clouds.*

Shitsumei: You know I don't like to work with others...

*Chouseki stopped at Shitsumei's side and stared up at the sky.*

Chouseki: Well just understand that this time I wont be there to save your ugly ass from the next beast that these bandits have in store for you.

*Shitsumei's gaze began to drift back down to the scene that resembled a war zone infront of him.*

Shitsumei: Well I guess I'll just have to learn to save my own ass from now on, and you know that my ass isn't ugly.

*Chouseki held back a laugh as Shitsumei began walking towards the smoking wagons. Chouseki quickly grasped the pouch hanging from his belt and pulled it free from its clasp and send it soaring towards Shitsumei who quickly plucked it from the air without even averting his gaze.*

Chouseki: At least this time you can't blame your ass kicking on running out of supplies.

*Shitsumei quickly attached the pouch to his belt and stopped to turn back at Chouseki.*

Shitsumei: Just don't go and get yourself killed before I can come back and take you down in a game of Shogi.

Dioskouroi Castor's Efforts
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s208/DarkxEnemyx13/Anime/Van.jpg

Jerry Ralen cursed at the suffocating heat as the sun started to beat down at high noon upon the ravine as the westerner paced along the cliff's edge, favoring his sweaty, dirty, and above all bloody hands from the rough climb up the thorn-laden cliff to get to this position. grasping the searing steel upon his back he grimaces once then carefully grasps where the wooden handle should be instead. he takes off the exotic item and lays it up against a rock... but the heat is making him lazy and sleepy so he doesn't bother to notice the sun glimmering off the fine steel barrel

He then takes off his robe which was over-heating him at a furious pace anyway and placed it upon the ground... immediately feeling the benefits and the cool breeze across his skin he hated handling the last keepsake he had of his father like trash but it was trash anyway so treating it like treasure isn't exactly preserving the memory either. He takes a couple calming breaths at the memory

Far from bringing him relief though it just gave him more discomfort. his thin cotton shirt was sweated through and felt like a demons slime materialized without the comfortable moisture absorbing materials of his robe so he quickly cut the shirt off and threw it to the side as well: startling a lone and curious hawk out of hiding that was observing the foreign man. Clad now in only khaki pants and a stupid bug-eye stare as his sleek muscles shine in the daylight he gets down on the robe and grasps the gun, steadying the sniper rifle on the spotted genin. Luckily he had taken off the robe and the breeze had reminded him to take heat into consideration when aiming the western rifle as the disillusion from the furious heat upon the cliff-side would have made him forget otherwise... his breath quickened with this realization of this key-point he had almost missed... the breeze would influence the bullet

Kerry Ralen would need to take that into account.

This sheer stroke of luck would be the end of the Kumo genin... Mr. Ralen would not miss with this weapon foreign weapon which put ninja skills to shame.

Jerry took some steadying breaths, making sure that adrenaline wouldn't throw him off...

Jerry then pulled the trigger and the bullet came out: even if the nin could shunshin it would not save him now. However the bullet deformed in front of Jerry's eyes and turned into a liquid and began dancing before Jerry's eyes before going through them... Jerry didn't even have time to be shocked... just to admire the glistening beauty of the black liquid's dance.

The black liquid intermingled with Jerry's life juices flew back to the crystal ball in the Genin's savior's hands. furiously streaming around and displaying exotic symbols upon the ball that told the boy his next step... he focused chakra into the crystal ball and it shrunk in size to that of a marble. the Liquid within boiled with fury. He put the crystal bullet within the gun and aimed at Nori

Castor: right here and now... I can end it...

But as he pulled the trigger the gun swung towards the aforementioned genin and the crystal bullet simply un-materialized back into the black liquid and lazily went back into Castor's pouch pocket .

Castor: ... fufufu... not even this way

*He went up in a cloud of smoke: dropping the useless western toy upon the cliffside as he proceeded to his next target

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

Ninfu had many dreams: she was to marry Nori, kill the annoying girl he was fascinated with, kill his business partner that took half the money Nori attained even though Ninfu was sure Nori did all the work, and of course train and replace Nori's useless bandits with tamed Desert Feasting Devils: a rare and powerful beast of the desert she had been raised to know how to break... however all of our dreams cannot come true... in fact even her most important goal of not dying couldn't even come true as she now lay dead upon the ground after trying to figure out what one of her Feasting devils was choking on... turned out to be a crystal ball which, when tshe finally managed to get the beast to spit it out, entered her own mouth and exploded inside... painting the scene with brain blood and skull fragments.

Disheartened her few dozen feasting beasts she had rounded up to take out the genin started to sulk away but then noticed her head had reformed... albeit with a slight crystalline appearance and she pointed at nori... then back to the Kumo Genin when she uttered "kill" in her new lifeless voice.

Suddenly a man appeared behind her... rubbing his forehead in frustration

Castor: ah, ****

*The boy clasped Ninfu's head and her hair, clothes, and skin turned into the black liquid which proceeded to fly off her body and disintegrate the army of Feasting Beasts running in the genin's direction with hunger in their eyes.

All that was left of Ninfu was a serenely detailed crystal statuette of her with the only discrepancy being her head was a plain crystal orb... annoyed of his failures Castor removed the crystal head, shrunk it, and put it back in his pouch. Then proceeded to axe-kick the headless work of art. as the piece shattered and shards flew into him he disappeared yet again in a puff of smoke.

actually, Ninfu almost got her most important goal... above not dying all she wanted was to be was to be eternally beautiful... dirty Castor and his axe-kick...

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

meanwhile the real Castor stood out of sight and out of mind, watching as Nori had finally had enough defending in fear and went out to meet the genin... biting his lip in frustration on how both his attempt to kill Nori from range and to order beasts to kill him had failed. Castor spoke aside to himself as he left the area of the upcoming showdown.

Castor: ... I guess it really is impossible for me... guess I gotta go before I end up killing the genin... my last hope...

*he grasped his crystal ball right before he went out of view, peering at the Kumo genin he whispered into the crystal ball.

Castor: whatever you do, don't hurt his eyes... good luck... I took care of his remaining heavy weight bandits for you... may we have peace, peace, and perfect peace.

*Sure the genin had heard him within their mind, He proceeded out of sights range, hoping for the best

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

Nori Osumbu was waiting for Shitsumei when he walked out from behind he wagons and into the clearing. Spectator bandits on each side

Nori: ...

OoC: match set up I spose... Nori is so discerning in battle DC can look at all your spoilers but your still expected to post them as usual... big bonus marks whitefang if you post strategies as if you didn't know he can see through them. Your fighting a top level bandit whitfang so just give it your best

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei stood perfectly still as the bandit approached him. This bandit appeared different from the others. This one was clad in bloodstained robes and the other bandits were lining up to catch a glimpse of the combat.*

Shitsumei: So I guess your the monster I've heard about, Nori Osumbu...

*Shitsumei tightened his grip on the silver katana strapped to his back and waited for the upcoming attack.*

As Shitsumei gripped his sword his other hand disappeared into his bag and gripped the two kunai wrapped with explosive tags

[Antagonist]

*Nori eyed the cliffs of any glint of metal and the backtrail for some form of beast support but none was to be found... he could feel sweat building up on his hairline but thankfully it was soaked up by the cloth so it wouldn't get in his eyes and become a hazard.

Death was close, any smart man would realize that, it was a scary reality... one he had not realized when he was younger and taking on the world.

Nori: ...

I won't hesitate to kill you if you don't back down...

*One eye started to quiver uncontrollably as it tried to figure out the puzzle before him. What would the genin do? What was going on in his mind?

Nori: ...

Nori smiled inwardly... it was easy to tell how this genin's mind worked just by eying the carnage that was the camp... fires burneds and wood splinters were imbedded into every square inch of the ground. Not to mention the telling glare of the genin's eyes which Nori considered window's to the soul. It was through being an expert on studying people that Nori survived so long in this life: it was the greatest tool at his disposal and he was using his "people study" right now.

Nori lifted his hands up within his long sleeves of his bloody robe so that they were no longer visible and eyed the genin's next move.

Nori: ...

Nori grabbed a kunai in both hands

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei stands permanently still, the tension building between him and the bandit Nori. At first the bandit appeared nervous and slightly frightened as he glanced into the mountainous outcrops. It quickly faded as the bandit's worried twitches turned into a sinister smile that brought chills down Shitsumei's spine.*

*The bandit was simply standing there, perfectly still.*

Shitsumei: I guess your giving me the first move. That is going to be your first mistake.

*Shitsumei quickly dashed to his right towards the mountain wall in a counter-clockwise circle around Nori. Seconds before he hit the cliff face Shitsumei let loose three kunai, one at Nori's face, one just in front of Nori's feet, and a third just inches from Shitsumei's side into the rock wall.*

*As the third kunai impacted the rocks Shitsumei dashed faster around Nori, kicking up dust as he circled.*

The two kunai heading for Nori are standard while the one in the rock face has an explosive tag

A smoke screen is being created as the dust is kicked up by Shitsumei

Shitsumei is channeling chakra into his sword

[Antagonist]

*Nori threw the two kunai in his hands with great reflexes at the two kunai heading for him as soon as he figured out their trajectory: they collided with the kunai and all four fell to the ground a considerable distance from him.

Raising both hands in a beckoning signal to his side the bandits beside him instantly threw him a barbed metal spiked whip and a heavy steel shield which he caught effortlessly in both hands. immediately taking up defensive position

Nori: get them...

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei let a grin out as the bandit waisted his kunai blocking Shitsumei's, but it was quickly whipped away as the bandit received a spiked whip and large steel shield. Shitsumei was going to have to think fast to survive this fight. Shitsumei scanned the valley and finally found a large rock.*

*Shitsumei dashed behind the rock and squatted to completely disappear from Nori's vision that was already beginning to weaken from the cloud of dust floating on the battlefield. After a few well placed handsigns the entire rock bursts with smoke and 4 identical Shitsumei's shoot from behind the rock and charge straight for Nori on four different paths. One tries to circle to Nori's left, one charges straight for Nori, and two more circle to Nori's right.*

A kunai with an explosive tag is jammed between two loosely joined rocks on the valleys side.

The Shitsumei charging straight for Nori is the real one

Shitsumei is still pouring chakra into his blade while wrapping an explosive tag around a kunai with his free hand.

[Antagonist]

*Nori unleashes the whip in his right hand out stunningly-fast at the hand with the kunai in it of the genin running straight at him, attempting to wrap it around the genin's wrist: if it hit it would bind and shred the wrist up so it would be useless.

This fast motion had fully exposed Nori's right hand from his sleeve and a hari launcher could be seen upon it. Leaving the shield standing up on the ground in front of him he moved his left hand over to the launcher, pushed the button, and sent 4 hari launching at the genin's eyes.

This fast movement exposed another hari glove on Nori's left hand

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei thought his little farce was working, the clones were evenly distributed and none of them made any sign of being a false. However that confidence was shredded when a long spiked whip shot at him with a blinding speed, striking and wrapping his wrist up. The pain shot up his arm like a blazing poker as the whip's spikes dug into his wrist.*

Shitsumei: GAHHH!!!!

*The blood poured from his wrist.*

Shitsumei: (Damn it how did he find out which one of us was real! I took every precaution. And now I only have one hand to finish my plan...)

*Shitsumei knew what he had to do, though it would leave him defenseless and doomed.*

*Shitsumei slowly rose, resisting the pull from the whip. He slashed down his sword, snapping the thick leather of the whip easily, and let the blade drop once it passed threw the leather. Before the blade even smashed into the ground Shitsumei was already rolling, grabbing the fallen kunai and ending it speeding towards the opposite cliff face, wedging it in a small crevice running horizontal along the wall.*

Shitsumei: Give up now Osumbu, before this fight gets really ugly.

*Shitsumei formed a single-handed seal with his good hand as he slowly rose.*

Two kunai with explosive tags are wedged in the rock faces of both sides of the valley, both in crevices holding the entire cliff side up with an army of bandits perched on them watching the fight

[Antagonist]

Bandit: here they are...

Nori: uggh... whats your point in life genin...

*Nori unleashed the whip behind him towards where the sound came from and it wrapped around the neck of some poor woman chained and bruised... as she gasped and started coughing up blood the bandit leading her pushed her the rest of the way to beside Nori.

Kenmaru's mom: ka, zu oh lord cha ka have hugh huh huh mercy

*another bandit came out of the shadows with another man, beaten and broken and lead the hostage beside nori

Kenmaru's father: please... I beg you spare my wife...

Nori: ...

*a child ran up behind Nori and clutched his robes... scared of what was going on... judging by his face that would be kenmaru's little brother...

Nori: K genin... if I move this whip too much the womans throat will be ripped out and she'll die suffocating on her own blood... kinda sad... I think you better co-operate... you can start by removing all the war materials on your person and tell me who you are...

[TheWhiteFang]

*Shitsumei stood motionless, his hand still forming a seal with chakra pouring threw it.*

Shitsumei: (Damnit what the hell am I supposed to do now. If I release the seal then I'm as good as dead, but now that there are hostages in my line of fire I cant possibly do it...)

*Shitsumei could only stand stareing at the womans eyes as they start to fade and her face begins turning a nice shade of blue. Shitsumei's eyes then focused on Nori, his cold emotionless eyes staring back.*

Shitsumei: (I have no choice, I cant let this monster go out and kill even more people. Whats two lives compared to the hundred these bandits could take with these weapons?)

Shitsumei: Hey Osumbu....Hope you have fun in hell... KAI!!!!

SFX: BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Two explosions detonate simultaneously one each side of the ravine. The crevices that the kunai were lodged in begin growing exponentially as the bandits above began crumbling down with large chunks of rocks and debris begin filling the valley.*

Shitsumei: (Well I had a good run for now.)

*The world begins to go dark as Shitsumei collapses in a pool of his own blood. The last sight he sees is his sword sticking out of the ground, beginning to glow with a pure white light. The darkness is quickly replace by a pure white. Standing before Shitsumei is a shinobi in pure white robes, with two similarly ivory blades slung across his back.*

White Shinobi: Don't worry young one, your done fighting for now. Just sleep and let me take care of everything.

Shitsumei:Wh-who....

*Shitsumei tried to force himself to speak, but the white world began to fade back into the darkness of unconsciousness as Shitsumei finally stops fighting.*

[Antagonist]

Nori lay clutching the feet of the his assailant, while nori's own lower body lay pulverized beneath the rocks... The realization of the risk of his immedate death had slowed down his reaction time just enough that he couldn't get over to the genin fast enough. One moment too long he stood gaping at the crumbling cliffside looking to bury everything he owned

Nori: I spent my whole life on a seashore... searching the dunes for pretty pebbles and shiny shells in hopes to see my true character illuminated by them... when all along I knew an ocean of great reflection and truth lay undiscovered beside me... I don't know what I may seem to you... but please look after my love... she lives in the mountains by kumo sususu she has... a beautiful daughter... you'd like her... a monster gave her... tell her to look after her mother... Dammit your not even listening!... I had a picture I could show you... I had a picture! I had a picture!

*Nori begins sobbing, his future crushed.

"settle down onii-chan!"

*Dioskouroi Castor appeared sitting in a meditative posture upon the unconscious genin. Eyes closed he was working on suppressing a radiant smile.

Nori: ah...It's been so long brother... are you... an angel?

Castor: nah I faked my death that night: this kid owned you hardcore!

Nori: I never even got his name...

Castor: doesn't matter. Shouldn't you be dead? seriously?

Nori: help me...

Castor: I was the monster. It was hot~ you always wondered why she looked like you huh?

Nori: ...

Castor: ku, ku, ku your eye is struggling to get out. I suppose you can't even feel your face anymore though eh?

Nori: uggh... fuck you

Castor: look. I can finally raise a head against you! The eye no longer wants the host!

*Castor pulled the yellow, ringed eye out of Nori's head... a few meters on tentacles came behind it

Nori: gah! ka ahh huh uh huh uh huh uhhuh uh.

*A crystal orb pushed out castor's normal eye from inside his skull and floated out: turning into a hari and floating before nori's forehead as the tentacle-monster eye crawled up Castor's arm and into the gaping socket... tentacles spreading through his body.

Castor: the twin eyes of the Gemini Twins have finally been united! Kenmauru's parents are dead as well as the potential traitorous deserter of Sansato~ also known as my very own Onii-chan by two minutes Nori Osombu!

Nori: ...

Castor: ya...

*the crystal needle split the forehead, entered the skull cavity, and began shredding the brain... it came out moments later and went into Castors Pouch.

*Castor looked down at the unconscious genin, a gorgeous innocent boyish smile spread across Castors face at the brightening picture

Castor: by the way, come out from underneath him

*Kaizen pushed out slowly from underneath Nori's body... it seemed Nori had also been further slowed down by taking the time before coming to the safe-zone by saving kenmaru's little brother... that little brother now crawled out from below the corpse.

Castor: haha, wanna be an avenger?

*kaizen looked at the unconscious genin then clenched his fists and nodded

Kaizen: he killed Nori-san and my parents!

Castor: bastard eh? well you'll fix that someday.

Castor put his hand on the boys dirty unkempt hair and ruffled it kindly before turning to say one final thing to the unconscious genin: Pay him some respects before he leaves so to say.

Castor: good job kid. Being responsible for the death of the Notorious bandit Nori will get you some decent reputation... he is my twin afterall. All my previous assassination attempts failed and sadly, I couldn't move against him myself. But you did your part beautifully! Maybe you'll even some chicks for it if you play your cards right! haha, so awesome man! cya

*Castor, now with two ringed yellow eyes turning around every which way in his skull, also known as "The Eyes of the Gemini Twins" suddenly caught on fire and burnt away, giving a final thumbs up to the genin before disappearing: his ashes following the western wind.

*The scene of carnage was massive. Smoke remnants of a great valley was now full of nothing but smoking debris and boulders. Smashed between the boulders were countless bodies smashed beyond recognition. It was disturbing that this scene didn't affect the black robed figures that came across it as much as it would any normal person.*

Anbu 2: God, what the hell happened here?!

Anbu 1: Shutup, we aren't here to go sightseeing. Start searching threw this mess for Osumbu. We can't return to Kumo without the destroying his corpse.

*The three anbu quickly began Shushining around the battlefield.*

Anbu 3: Sir, I found something over here!

*The other two Anbu shushined to the thirds side at the edge of a massive crater sinking deep into the valley. A pure white sword was standing in the center of the crater, a white aura still emanating from it. There was a beaten and bleeding boy lying beside it in a pool of crimson blood.*

Anbu 2: It looks like someone actually survived this.

*The Anbu captain smack his subordinate on the back of his head.*

Anbu 1: If you don't shutup and go heal him then he wont survive.

Anbu 2: OW! Alright fine, fine!

*The Medical Anbu quickly disappeared and reappeared at the boys side, a green chakra illuminating his hands. As the Medical Anbu healed the boy, the captain and the third walked to the sword.*

Anbu 1: It appears that it has already released....

Anbu 3: It wasn't a full release, simply a partial.

Anbu 1: It still means he's getting closer to it.

*The third Anbu gripped the blade and pulled it from its earthen sheath. The aura quickly dissipated.*

Anbu 3: I was hoping I would have a little more time with him before he would reach this level... *Sigh* I guess you cant change fate.

*The Anbu bent over the boy and place the sword by his side. She then pulled a long red staff from under her robe and leaned against it, hey blonde hair petruding from behind her mask.*

Anbu 3: I guess I'll just have to step up his training. Lets hurry and get him back home.

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

A large grey hawk landed on a nearby rock overlooking the valley. The hawk glared at the Anbu standing over the boy. As the Anbu picked up the boy and began to leave the hawk erupted in a plume of smoke. The hawk was replace with a figure in tattered and torn robes.

We'll it looks like I wont be making contact with them around little brother, but don't worry, I'll see you soon enough.
