"Oh? Well that took shorter than expected."


Hiding (The group isn't here yet.)

"Oh, you mean Sosuke? I guess you could say that he's the leader of the organization." Haruka explained, shrugging slightly.


Her pure white tresses blew in the wind that had caused the two to become silent, but the quiet atmosphere was quickly interrupted by Kira claiming that he sensed someone. However, this chakra was all too familiar to the albino, so she remained calm.


"Don't worry, it's him. The organization."

Arrival

A few moments later, Sosuke leaped into sight, suspicious of the one known as Kira who stood next to his comrade. Haruka noticed this instantly as Sosuke's eyes seemed to travel to the scroll Kira was wielding, most likely in an observing manner.


"Ah, a summoner?" Sosuke started, "No, you're from the land of the wind—so you must be a puppet master. That would explain the scroll..."


"No, Sosuke. He's actually a formidable ally—maybe Nokemono could use a guy like him." Haruka quickly responded, not wanting to deal with a fight that might go down between the two boys. "So, what do you say? Your call."

Kira looks at the men and his group. This was the organization, huh? He doubted he could take them all on, and if he was an angel of the lord, he couldn't possibly let her be here unprotected. He put his scroll back, and looked at them, looking at the men to see if they were going to ull some sort of trick. "Sure." He looked at her.

Suzukage; Travelling
"No offence intended. Just dont touch me"

He replied without hesitation, his scarlet eyes faced Ryu although seemingly glazed underneath half lids, his pipe smoking away as he puffed contentedly on its contents.

The pain he could deal with, time will heal most and what ever required medical attention could wait until they reached their final destination.

He figured Sosuke and the new arrival, Erito as he seemed to be called, had a plan in mind and he'd had no intention of questioning it. He'd been on his own since the Kage incident, and not that he minded being known as "the Kage Killer" however travelling with others could be a refreshing change to pass the time. He had no other contracts to fulfil at this time and now that messy business with the Kaguya girl was over, he could relax somewhat. Although he pondered how well his prospects would be looking once Gonbara, the Lord Mizukage of the Hidden Mist, found out that not only had he bombed his office and home, he'd kidnapped his girlfriend as well.

Suzukage sighed at the thought. He'd better enjoy the peace while it lasted.

Having noticed Sosuke and the others come to a halt; Suzukage leapt into the nearest treetop, crouching low before settling himself on the branch and leaning against its trunk, looking down at the two others Sosuke seemed to be speaking to.

Santeru Ishumari "The Crimson Moon"
Santeru stirred a bit to being touched, it appears the clansman from before came back to check up on him only to find him asleep underneath a tree. The man sighed nudging him once more before Santeru's eyes opened slowly, he looked up to the masked anbu and waved him away giving him a reassuring nod of thanks. The anbu disappeared leaving Santeru to wake up on his own accord, remaining motionless for a moment to search deep within himself he had eventually found the strength to move himself. He stood up slowly using the tree to support his weight, straightening up his back he stretch his arms for a moment and then his legs.

Sucking in a breath exhaling slowly he began moving forward leaving behind the peaceful scene to be lost and forgotten in the growing world, a nagging sense of responsibility once again surfaced and thoughts of his village surfaced but a more recent memory surfaced. The hate inside Tremki did not alarm him it only raised feelings of pity and sympathy which was out of character but after all Santeru was only human and though he had trouble conveying his feelings, it did not ultimately mean he didn't have any.


A quick smirk flashed across his face as he unhooked a kunai from his belt twirling it within his fingers blue flames spreading across the blade dancing between his fingers, he quickly raised his arm high tossing the hunai high into the sky letting the flaming chakra explode grandly shaking the very forest becoming visible even through the thick trees. Santeru was using it more or less as a signal seeing that he was lost he thought the gamble was worth being found either by friendly individuals or maleficent ones.

 

[Solemn Jester]

Sosuke observed Kira for a second before speaking, " very well that's actually perfect. We could use all the members we can get, and this will round the teams evenly." Sosuke said without explanation before turning to all the members."Everyone please rest for a bit I wish to explain things to you." Sosuke said his voice barely containing his satisfaction at how well everything went. "Ahh yes Lord Jashin must be guiding my path as I progress," Sosuke thought to himself.


"Now just to make sure we aren't overheard, earth release great stone fortress justu!" Sosuke said as he struck the ground and massive stone fortress erupt around them pushing, and uprooting trees as it rose from the ground."Luckily we're far enough from any villages that this shouldn't draw any immediate attention. Now to discuss our first mission as Nokemono." Sosuke said happily as he sat down on a stone throne.


He looked around at the members of Nokemono then spoke."We are heading towards the hidden sand. Once there Erito will use his "special" talents to convince the kage to give us refugee and a place to stay. Then we shall start our attack on the villages, first I'll divide you all into pairs, then assign all of you missions which I expect to be successfully finished. After all the missions are finished things should go on from there." Sosuke said halting for a second to think then spoke once more." It wasn't hard to determine teams, so once I pair you up please go stand beside your partner. Try to work together as you will be spending quite a bit of time together."


Sosuke was hoping this would work, although he had not accounted for the new arrival and he knew little of his abilities, but this wasn't a issue, he knew enough."The first team will be, Suzukage, and Indekka. The next team will be, Ryu and Erito." Sosuke stopped to observe the others reactions so far, then continued." Then Haruko, and the puppet master will be a team, this leaves you with me." Sosuke told Kiari giving her a expecting glance."If you have any issues with your parnter, well all I have to say is get over it. Because the person your paired with will be the one who keeps you from dying." Sosuke finished standing up and turning to Haruko."Miss Haruko, you have exceptional healing abilities don't you? Well then please give mister Suzukage a hand, he was careless and got injured during a none related mission." Sosuke said glaring at Suzukage letting him know he wouldn't take no for a answer. @femjapanriceball @Sinister Clown @WrathSama17 @Seireitei @Alphaius @gogojojo331 @Reminiscent

 

[Seireitei]

Suzukage;
The surprise was obvious on Suzukages face.

The pipe that had sat easily between his lips for much of the journey seemed to slide slow motion from his mouth, clattering noisily on the ground beneath them.

His scarlet eyes seemed to dart back and forth between Sosuke and Haruka, his mind slowly registering what had been ordered.

Suzukage had always had problems with being touched by others, especially those of the opposite sex, usually going out of his way to avoid it.

The only time this didn't apply was during battle; where his love of a good show far outweighed his hatred of physical contact.

To be fair though, he didnt really know the why of his disdain of physical touch, all he really knew was that he wasnt going to let anyone of these people touch him.

"Um yeah about that Sosuke.."

He stammered, the nervousness apparent in his voice as he bent down to collect his pipe.

"Its nothing really. I'll keep up fine, we can just wait until we get to Suna yeah?"

Jou Yuki

​

The trading caravan, led by a man called Hirata often took long tracks around the country, selling and trading what wealth they had acquired as they went. Hirata was in his late thirties, but has spent most of his life in the trading industry. Jou was hired to be their bodyguard, to protect them from any thieves who sought after their wares. He's been at it for a few months now, and in the time he has spent with them, he has grown sort of close to the caravan. They were wanderers, with no real home, much like himself. Yet, he himself still knew very little about them, and they knew very little about him. They traveled slowly, by foot, they were relatively primitive, enjoying solstice in silence. Currently, the group were taking refuge in Sunagakure, or the village hidden in the sand.


The weather was quite a contrast when compared to Kirigakure, where the weather was always humid and rainy. The climate was dry, and the heat was constantly baring down on him. Jou brought his hand down to his waist, and gripped a flask of water that sat by his waist. He brought it up to his pursed lips, and let the cool liquid aid his parched throat. The group of vendors were currently stationed in a trading district of Sunagkure, equipped with their mobile stands. Jou simply leaned on the wooden surface of the stand belonging to the leader of the caravan, Hirata.


"Slow day." He spoke aloud, to no one in particular. Hirata turned, paused, then responded. "I suppose, business has been slow recently. The disappearance of that feudal lord probably made people more weary of leaving their homes. " The trader spoke. Jou nodded, before offering a rebuttal. "I do not care much for the politics of this world, coin and food are where most of my worries rest." The duo laughed softly, Hirata nodded in agreement, before turning to face a new customer. The customer offered a brief good-bye, before snatching a gold amulet from the stand and turning in the other direction to run.


Jou waited, watching the boy run off with a placid expression on his face, waiting until he was out of sight to give chase. Jou buried his feet in to the earth, before taking a firm leap in to the air, landing on a rough top. With a bird eyes view it was easy to locate the thief. Jou reached in to the bag that rested on his waist, and he took a firm grip of the kunai that rested inside. He then dashed forward, charging towards the thief. The two collided, the thief being propelled forward, having lost his balance. After a brief struggle, Jou held the thief with his left arm, with his opposite arm, he held the kunai against the boy's neck. "Drop it, and walk away."


The fear that the young thief had felt was quite palpable, soon, he heard the sound of metal clinking against the floor, so he released him, leaving him to run off. Jou gave a simple sigh, he returned the kunai to his bag and picked the gold amulet off of the sandy terrain. He could not wait to leave this depressing place.

"No, we can't no man up and let her heal you." Sosuke said sternly as he glared at Suzukage."Besides we might not have the chance once we get to the hidden sand. After all the majority of us are S rank criminals. Two of which are from the land of sand," Sosuke Sais gesturing towards Haruko and Kira."Now let her heal you, its not like she's going to make your injuries any worse. It'll be quick and painless." Sosuke assured Suzukage as he walked over to Haruka and patted her on the arm."Take good care of him won't you." Sosuke said smiling pleasantly at her before walking back outside.

"I don't necessarily need to touch you... I'm not so fond of the idea myself, either."

Medical Techniques
"No need for the formalities, Sosuke... I don't like when my name is said with formal prefixes of suffixes, for that matter. Also, I need to inform you that, if Suzukage doesn't seem comfortable with the idea, then I won't do it. To be quite honest, I'd prefer not to engage in any physical contact, as well..." Haruka admitted in a quiet, indifferent voice. It was very different than how it was a mere few minutes ago, when her life was flashing right before her two very own eyes. However, Sosuke looked as if he would make the group stay in one place until his command was fulfilled. Letting out an inaudible sigh, the Jinchuuriki continued. "... I can still heal him, though.. But it takes longer than it would normally."

Haruka stepped forward towards Suzukage and held both of her hands up. Her right palm was directed towards the injury, although not quite touching it-- and the left was held up closer to herself, in a handsign to preform the jutsu. A bright green light emitted from her right palm and, before you knew it, the wound was already almost all the way healed. And then, she was done. As the chakra disappeared, the girl stepped back a bit, scanning the male for anymore wounds. She didn't find anything major, thus concluding her little 'healing session'. If this is how fast I went without physical contact, wouldn't that mean that it would be even faster with it? "Finished."

"... Well, now that I'm with you all... I warn you, do not let me fall asleep. Or unconscious... For he will take over."​

 

[Seireitei]

Suzukage;
"I just prefer not to be touched is all"

His face looking a shade bluer than usual, Suzukage turned his face away from the gathered group, his mind rapidly formulating every possible wrong doing that could come from physical contact.

He was aware of the fact that it was completely irrational, and quite frankly annoying as hell, however when it came down to it; he was still unable to rid himself of that particular flaw.

Sighing, he puffed away on his pipe, his attention completely focused on pretending the girl, Haruka her name happened to be, was not hovering her hand mere inches from his skin.

He managed one sheepish glance in Sosuke's direction, something told him he hadnt heard the end of this quite yet; he hadnt actually done anything wrong afterall, considering his mission pre-dated his involvement in Nokemono.

He frowned slightly, something still bothered him about the whole affair with the Kaguya girl.

Once everything had been completed, Suzukage shuffled quickly away from Haruka, hiding in his usual spot near Indakki his sleeve covering most of his face with the exception of his scarlet eyes which were now fixated on Haruka.

"Thank you for your help"

[mkuchiha]

"Can't I just do this tomorrow?" Utaki whined. "I just came back."


He was currently standing inside the Hokage's sparsely furnished office, glaring at the impeccably dressed secretary in front of him. Right now he was currently debating whether or not to fill in the mission report summary he was supposed to do, or just wing it and pull out a fast shunshin on the secretary and head home for a dose of R&R.


He was leaning more on the latter, but the secretary insisted. Utaki sighed. The woman was like a statue, she was firmly fixed on him doing the darn summary.


"Uchiha-sama, it is mandatory, you must fill it out. I cannot express how important it is you fill it in," Her expression was of annoyance, and exasperation.


Utaki nodded, trying for a respective smile, "I get it, Secretary-chan. I understand. What I'm trying to say is I'll do it, but tomorrow instead. You know? Like around noonish."


The secretaries eyes narrowed, "Tomorrow then," She folded her arms in a hmph, "Twelve sharp. Any later and you will be fined appropriately, Uchiha-sama."


Utaki nodded, a wide grin threatening to split his face. "Thank you, thank you, Ms. Unagi. Noon it is." He reached in for an awkward hug, before pulling out and bursting into a pile of leaves, performing the basic of Konoha shunshins.

 

[gogojojo331]

He nodded. "I won't let you fall asleep." He looked at them. "I will come by air if you need it." He took out his scroll. "I have a puppet for just this occasion..." He unfurled his scroll. He wanted to show them he meant no harm to them. The more trust he showed, the more they would let him do things.

 

[Sinny The Fool]

Er?to S?gy?-sha "The Mysterious Man"; Konohagakure's Gate



Maintaining the same, cheerful smile across his face that he had the whole time. Er?to let out a short sigh at Sosuke's answer, he never knew what the man felt he had to hide or perhaps it was just for his own self convienience to not explain again to the other member's. It was possible and after a few more minutes jumping from branch to branch amongst the tree's - Sosuke altered his movement to another direction which lead to a small clearing. Watching Sosuke leap out of the tree's was the exact moment Er?to also stopped moving. Standing still on a tree branch as he looked ahead to the small clearing, having little interest in getting himself into conflict at the time Er?to decided to stay back and waited for the voices.


Eavesdropping onto the conversation he listened cautiously to find out that the two awaiting them on the other side were also the last member's apart of Nokemono that they were searching for. This was the time Er?to felt it appropriate to make his way out of the bushes and amongst the people. Leaping out and seemingly floating across the air before coming to a swift landing beside Sosuke, Er?to placed his left hand on the top of his bucket hat to assure it's placement and gestured a lazy wave to the two 'newbies'. Both of them appeared rather intruiging, one was a puppet master and the other had a remarkable source of Chakra, so remarkable in fact the only explination for it was to be a Tailed beast. Er?to's eyes suddenly moved and set onto Haruka. 'A tailed beast? What does Sosuke plan on doing exactly?' he pondered to himself. An earlier statement rang through his head, the words of Sosuke saying 'Even with talent like yours, the task will be difficult..I wonder what he means by that' letting out a slight chuckle from the thought.


Once people started gathering around, Sosuke appeared to be getting down to business by arranging partner's and also letting them know what their objective in Sunagakure would be. Instantly after hearing the run-down Er?to understood what Sosuke meant by 'special talent' when it came to the Kazekage and he finally realized what Sosuke meant by the task would not be easy. Of course none of this actually seemed to make any emotional or mental impact on Er?to as he continued to stand in some sort of daze as he continued to ponder about the mission. Looking back to the Puppet user and the girl, while being warned not to let her sleep the puppet user approached and some what seemed to comfort her. The man didn't seem to be much for words however his appearance definately stood out as a puppet user and Er?to for one was quite excited to see what he could do with those wooden dolls of his. Turning back around to Ryu, he smiled again and waved before approaching and leaning down to Ryu's height "I think me and you will get along just fine, no?" he asked Ryu with a generous smile and a sweet tone in his voice. Er?to knew that all of his actions made most of the individuals within the group feel uncomfortable but he felt that they would get use to it given the time.

[Solemn Jester]

"Alright then lets make our way to The hidden sand." He looked over to Kira," if you have a better way of travel I'd gladly accept it. I want to get this started as soon as possible." He then looked over at Haruka," Haruka I require your friends help, and I don't mean the puppet master." Sosuke said darkly," can you control him?" Sosuke asked, he was of course talking about the one tails shukaku. His plan required a big distraction, and the Shukaku along with several of Suzukages well placed explosions would be perfect to distract the shinobi, and kage.

[WrathSama17]

Kiari followed behind the group. Her eyes looked on Sosuke's back. She tried to his her killing intent but she was sure that the whole group felt her need to murder. She still hadnt forgotten what the man had did to get brother. She would be sure to pay him back ten fold. But not now. For now she fully intended to use him like he was using her.


When the group stopped, she did to. There was a young man and woman who where obviously from the sand. Kiari hoped that a fight would brake out and the man would kill sosuke. She then decided that it would be best if she could kill him herself so if a fight was to break out now, she'd help Sosuke.


In the end, they both were members of the organization, Nokenomo. After everything settled, their leader summoned a fortress. Taking place on his throne, he told them their next move. They were heading to the Sand to get refuge. Kiari had to admit she was curious about the reason behind going to the Sand Village but she stayed quiet.


(Sorry I'm half assing. I'm so tired)

 

[Sinny The Fool]

Er?to S?gy?-sha "The Mysterious Man"; Forest Outskirts of Konohgakure



Everything was decided and they all had their jobs to do, however despite Er?to rather important role within this plan - his attention was caught elswhere within the forest they had long left behind. A interesting and strangely familiar spark of chakra became almost too easy to pick for Er?to even at this distance, to say the least Er?to was intruiged by the Chakra signiture and it's familiarity of it began to itch at Er?to's side so once everything was done and said Er?to clapped his hands together as if dusting them off and suddenly spoke rather abruptly to make sure Sosuke heard what he was just about to say. "Village in the sand, got it. Well Sosuke-kun~ I have a few matter's to attend to here in the Land of fire so I'll have to catch up to you lot later." he started walking, since they were currently placed inside a stone fortress-like structure Er?to lead himself out of the place. Once making it outside he held the top of his hat and looked up to the sky with a slight smirk on his face 'At least it's still sun out I guess.' he thought to himself before motioning his head off towards seemingly a random direction that lead directly into the forest - however the area in which Er?to was looking towards wasn't random at all as he was looking towards where he could best assume the 'interesting' chakra signiture came from.


Now being out of the people's sight and ears Er?to took a few more lousy steps forward before seeming to vanish within thin air in an instant. Appearing back on a tree branch back at the forest outskirts of Konohagakure. The signiture became much more clear by this point and locating it wasn't all that hard what so ever - once finding it Er?to decided that it was time to get moving. Travelling through the branches by leaping from one to another as he slowly progressed to his destination at his normal speed. He wasn't overly in a rush and didn't have much worry at all, in fact as he grew closer and closer to the person he was looking for it became more and more obvious that whoever Er?to was about to encounter was also in the possession of a Biju - that alone was clear as day to Er?to. Once finally making it to the destination, Er?to found himself squatting down on a branch while leaning both of his forearms on his knee's and letting out a short muse from the sight. His facial expression went semi-monotoned and in a sense it almost seemed like Er?to had a complete personality change. His heavy-eyelids which originally made Er?to seem bored suddenly widened in shock as the familiarity of what Er?to was looking for became clear, leaping down from the tree branch behind Santeru he stood there, holding his sword-cane behind him and using his free hand to hold the top of his hat from blowing off in the wind.

"Is that really you..Santeru?" he asked, his voice much different from it's usual cheerful and 'sunny' self. His tone was in fact much deeper and much more serious than earlier, of course this was all because Er?to let down the facade - he knew exactly who this person was and even if Er?to tried using the facade he always does he knew that Santeru wouldn't fall for it 'After all he's...' Er?to's train of thought stopped at that moment while nearby Er?to felt as if he heard something strange only to find out it was nothing more than a fly buzzing beside his ear.

Ashura Magatama


---------------


A pair of silent feet landed in front of the taped up estate. The Magatama residence had been foreclosed for the investigation and the bodies removed. Ashura was looking for something more secret though... Something only his family knew. Granted, however strong his family was, they were not prestigious like the Uchiha clan or the Hyuuga clan. No...The Magatama clan had to have a secret, something that gave them an edge. Ashura's remarkable strength was notable but his skillset was so standardly based that the only reason he grazed the Genin exam was through hard work alone.


He entered the house, footsteps silent as he fondled around in the darkness. Huffing, he found no light. The higher ups must have cut the power but something strange happened.. The Magatama necklace he wore around his neck, with the comma shaped beads began glowing. Mostly blue at first, then yellow or green. He looked back behind him as a staircase appeared.


Lips parted and eyes widened, he just stared. Were those always there..? Something reminiscent to a noise sounded from the staircase though he was sure it was the wind.


'You....the...Magatama....come forth...' It sounded out. And something not of him drew him to walk down the stairs. And what came next absolutely stunned him.


The room was huge, resembling a huge shrine. The place had a haunting feel to it. Even in the darkness, it pulsed with a great power... The idols surrounding the shrine seemed to be sitting in a meditative state, almost as if it was worshipping something in the middle. As he approached, he could feel the power roll all around him and he had to swallowed his fear to continue..


What awaited him you ask? Well you'll just have to find out in the next post.

Where am I? Magatama family estate


What am I doing? Trying not to pass out from the awesomeness


How am I feeling? Overwhelmed

Santeru Ishumari "The Crimson Moon"
Santeru stopped walking a curious hum asked his lips "Hm?" as he turned his head, a breeze came up the path whipping Santeru's black hair masking for a moment the expression of complete surprise. He had expected someone to stumble across him but he didn't expect this someone, the sound of the trees dulled at his own monotone voice "I thought someone would investigate that little scene, I just didn't expect it to be you." finishing this he smirked just a bit an amused look buried deep surfaced.


Santeru's crimson eyes glanced at the figure connecting dots quickly before letting his expression fall back to stone "With today's events your not here just by chance are you?" he asked not with hostility but general curiosity.

Er?to S?gy?-sha "The Mysterious Man"; Forest Outskirts of Konohgakure



Patting off his haori yet again from any debris he might of caught on the way here he let off a slight shrug and tilted his head. 'Even after all this time it almost seems like he can read me like a book, it's quite terrifying actually..' Er?to thought to himself as he couldn't help but frown slightly as he gazed towards Santeru who had grown up quite a bit since the last time they saw eachother. Memories of his past flashed before his very eyes and if his eyes weren't always shadowed by the hat on his head - the look of regret and sadness would have been painfully clear on his face, Er?to knew it as well and thought of it as one of his chiefest weaknesses for a 'Mysterious Man' that no one is meant to know about, Er?to enjoyed what he was known as. It allowed him to become detatched from the realities of the harsh world they lived in but unfortunately...Er?to had a much larger role to play for the events of the world than he could ever imagine for himself. However he didn't enjoy this fact at all - as Er?to only wished a life of isolation and to be left to his own thoughts.


Letting out a sigh as he slightly hunched his back and rubbed the back of his neck once the uprise in wind started to drop. "Haven't you heard the stories about me? No matter where I am, it's always for a reason." he said, returning a similar smirk back to Santeru after watching his mouth as he made a slight sarcastic joke about the myth of 'The Mysterious Man' that was going around the continent. "I'm kidding, is it a problem I'm here?" he asked, merely out of curiosity. Er?to slowly became curious of what Santeru was like now, afterall even in what seemed like such a short time a lot could have changed between them.

@Santeru Ishumari

 

[Nostalgic-Writer]

Santeru Ishumari "The Crimson Moon"
Listening to him speak Santeru relaxed if only slightly, he bowed his head too feeling the same mixture of solemn nostalgia and regret. His smirk had faded leaving behind a seemingly sarcastic and sorrowful smile "Of course it's not, but we both know calamity follows our twin trails." Santeru turned his entire torso finally facing Erīto and only grew increasingly more pained, though they both were older Erīto only looked like the world had dug it's grasp into him and pulled him apart at his very foundation.


They were twin maleficent storms whose only crime was trying to defy their nature and not cause the seas to brew into chaos, but this did not concern either of them.


Santeru felt grief claw just slightly away at his mind and he choked his wall had cracked and stone foundation shifted "You've chosen to make a move haven't you?" he asked slowly letting the wind die down into a breeze "We could never learn to just stay out of the affairs of others could we? Hell I ended up Raikage for godsakes." Taking a half step forward he halted himself, his only intention was to speak and he chuckled snapping back from the emotion that had surged quickly recovering "The mysterious man, I never got tired of hearing the stories always being told around the village. But the thing I knew about them was that they weren't just stories or simple rumors, the talk of the infamous mysterious man was a warning. Something used to scare the children and make them behave."

Ryu listened eagerly for teams, then, blinking when xe found out xe would be teamed up with Erīto, thought about how that would work. He seemed to be the....spy type of person. So they were some sort of espionage team....interesting. Xe felt Erīto leaning on xir and let out a sigh. Might as well get used to it....he's probably gonna do this a lot. Sighing again, Ryu adjusted the scarf wrapped around xir face and followed him, only to see him chatting it up with some guy named Santeru. They were talking about a "Mysterious Man" that xe had heard about. Wait. Was Erīto...? No. Freaking. Way. Xe looked at him in awe for a minute, then, when xe could get xir mouth to move, xe said, "Can I get your autograph?"

Shishido Hatake || Fearsome Feline Of Iwagakure


Location: Inside the Forest of konoha


Mood:Unsatisfied

After covering some ground of the forest within konohagakure shishido desided it was time to finish, as she didn't find what she had wanted there was no sign of chakra presence or any power source of anything else. She was disappointed, and a cat doesn't like to be disappointed. So she began to sigh, and turned back to the village still in her cat form however. The days of her off time was getting cut short, and decided to head back to her own village in the next two days until something else comes up.


After some more strolling she would then find herself in the village at last, but she still would remain inside her form until she felt like getting out of it, she began to settle down in an ally, scanning the waves of people walking back and forth carring there groceries, kids, and what not. Soon she would then prone to the ground feeling a bit drained.

New Location: In an ally of konoha

"So you say you can bring us to the hidden sand by way of your puppet?" Sosuke asked Kira raising an eyebrow intrigued. "This would of course be very convenient." Sosuke had allowed Erito to leave knowing if anyone could catch up it would be him. He also allowed Ryu to follow being as after all he had assigned her as Eritos partner." I hope Ryu doesnt slow down Erito." Sosuke said slightly worried something might go wrong. He wasn't certain of what Erito was doing. For all the talk about the mysterious man being little more than misconceptions, and over imagination Erito was still very mysterious. "Alright if you can get us to the sand quicker then please go ahead. It's about time we made our way there anyways." Sosuke told Kira waiting for him to do his thing.

Er?to S?gy?-sha "The Mysterious Man"; Forest Outskirts of Konohgakure



It was rather strange really, to meet in such a place at such times. They both knew the reality of their situations and what would eventually come from the roles they both chose. It was only a matter of time before Er?to and Santeru would meet again however Er?to had a funny feeling that the next time that would happen - it would be on very different terms. So for now, Er?to was more than happy to oblige in non-hostile interaction.


"Yes, I guess you could say that.." he smirked when Santeru mentioned that he was now the Raikage - although Er?to already knew this beforehand hearing him say it reminded him that Santeru hadn't changed much at all and that inside he was exactly the same as always. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle about the stories of him and he replied to it while nodding slightly "Honestly, whoever made it up was smart because I never see children out at night like normal." he said with sarcasm in his voice and a slight smirk on his face. Suddenly however their conversation was interupted by his assigned partner 'Ryu' who, apparently came up to him for an autograph. In reply Er?to didn't really know what to do and only blinked a few times in confusion 'Didn't she dislike me just earlier?' for a moment he just stood there and gazed at her. Walking towards her and using his body as some what of a cover from Santeru's image - he placed his arms on Ryu's shoulders and looked into her eyes, and just like that his facade personality came back with his reply "Are you sick Ryu-kun? What are you even doing here, you'll be left behind if you don't catch up." he said with a giddy smile, his cheeks red from blushing. It wasn't very often that Er?to had someone who wanted an autograph from him before so this was in a sense a once in a lifetime opportunity, and also hopefully a way to advert Ryu's attention elsewhere so that matters between Er?to and Santeru didn't become complicated

Ryu gave Erīto a weird look. Ryu....kun...? That's a new nickname. Xe placed xir hands on xir hips, blinking. And here he was, practically trying to shoo xir away. Ryu's face became significantly red; xe adjusted xir scarf again, raising an eyebrow. "Are you....trying to get rid of me?" xe questioned skeptically, then crossed xir arms. "Not gonna happen. Look, if I'm going to work with you—and I never knew you were the Mysterious Man, this is great, actually—" Xe took a deep breath. "Anyways, shouldn't teammates stick together or something?"
