Kirigakure no Sato

“ I.. I have my reasons. “ Aoiro looked away for a moment before standing up from his chair. “ My reasons are for revenge.. I wish to avenge family and friends.. My father and my neighbors. They were killed when Konoha accidentally received wrong information about villagers traveling to different villages.. Which they didn’t just kill. They tortured to try to get information out of. None of them were attackers, so they all knew nothing of what the leaf ninja were talking about. Those they didn’t torture, they used potent mind genjutsu on to try to leak intel. Which they didn’t know anything, so all they did was just destroy their minds.. “

Aoiro walked away from the table and over to the sink, staring down at it. “ That is why.. That is why I wish to sink Konoha. The high and mighty village that just says ’ Sorry, I killed a lot of your villagers on accident. If you attack, you’re more evil then us for starting a war. “ Aoiro’s voice would change when he said that, trying to make himself sound like a annoying girl.

He turned from the sink to face Senko, his backside resting against the counter of the sink. “ If it is evil, to seek revenge from such a tragedy, then I will be that. I will be the necessary evil to destroy a evil of greater magnitude. To save others from their clutches… Then I’ll be a terrible person. “

Senko listened, his mind processing the information as Aoiro seemed to let all of his emotional baggage leak out. His left hand shifted as he brought it to run over his head and through his hair. His form shifting in the chair as he rolled his head letting his neck crack.

"I see, I don't really know anything about that. What I mean by that is that I have no family, you are the closest thing I have to a friend, and I know nothing of loss because I've never had anything to lose."

Senko's form shifted from the chair as he moved over to Aoiro leaning up against the counter next to him, his hands bracing against the edge.

"I'm not opposed to help you Aoiro, but we have to do this with some level of tact, and I'm sure we could find a way to get Kirigakure to help us. Everyone has heard the legends of the bloody mist." Senko offered Aoiro a smile, it was hard for him to relate, but he could image that such events would cause much pain in ones life, and revenge did not seem irrational.

Bloody mist. It truly was as bad as people said. Aoiro couldn’t tell you what all was exactly done during his training. Mainly because its all blacked out in the back of his mind. But he can use it instinctively if he needed to. It really is the greatest way to train shinobi so other villagers wouldn’t steal their training methods.

Aoiro continued to listen to Senko as he rose and leaned on the counter beside him. Senko truly was his friend. After his father and friends died, the closest thing he had to a friend was Amaya annoying him. He chose to distance himself from everyone. To be along with his pain and his thoughts. His training had been a blur after that. Which is why he probably became a prodigy. Acting without really having any thought about it. It could explain why most of his techniques came to him naturally. His doujutsu could also explain that. Then finally one day, just snapping out of it. Realizing what all of the training he had been through, the friends he lost, and his father…

Aoiro turned his head to the side a bit as he stared at Senko.

“ Hmm. “ He stared for a bit longer before his hand came up and wrapped itself around his chin.

“ Lets go to the Mizukage. We need to get you to be a certified bad ass in this village! “ Aoiro said to him, returning his smile. More like his best friend.

(OOC Note: In this post, I will be Rp'ing as an NPC who has been sent to capture Senko by the Mizukage [reference Mizukage Tower]. I just wanted to clear up any confusion before it starts.)


---The Man from the Tower - Takemaru


The man descended from Mizukage Tower, and at the base of the monstrosity waited four people.

" 'Capture him' - Orders from Mizukage. All four of you will come."

"Understood, Takemaru-Taichou."

The four - one woman and three men - replied in unison. Together they made a team of two long-range specialist, one mid-range fighter, and two close-range combatants.

"The objective is simple, but he may prove difficult to detain. Carelessness may very well result in death."

Takemaru warned them, as he always did. A strange habit for a jonin level ninja from this village. It often made his team uncomfortable, but no one complained; the man's softer complexion did not at all reflect his ability to kill.

"Prepare yourselves. We'll bring him back to the first detention room at the bottom of the tower."

They departed in the direction of [Senko]'s chakra (Aoiro's house).

Senko gave a quick nod to Aioro, "Yeah I probably should go see the Mizukage. I'd be very interested in joining this village. Hey how often do you guys promote genin to chunin?" Senko's question posed, yet his facial expression suddenly changing to no longer match it. With little warning Senko pushed up off of the counter and slowly made his way through the house moving to the front door, opening it, and stepping out.

"Strange... I thought I felt something." Senko could swear he felt the presence of others.... of stronger far more powerful people than himself. Turning slowly he looked back inside, his lips parting as he called out to Aoiro. "Hey! Do you feel anything... strange?"

Aoiro was listening, his mouth opened about to reply - then closed. He also felt it. He pushed himself away from the counter and followed Senko outside. He already knew who, his eyes closed, then opened with Mizu no Me active.

“ Well.. Looks like you’ll get protection to follow you to the Mizukage. “ Aoiro said. His arms crossed, now waiting.

The woman spoke: "Taichou, there are two of them."

"Prepare. We will approach them."

The few moments of speaking ended abruptly as they traveled towards the source of designated chakra via the woman's ability. Soon enough, however, they were in range to begin the abduction.

Three members (long, long, and close-range) hid, and the two (mid, and close-range [Takemaru]) approached what seemed to be a house. They had surrounded the residence.. And it wasn't long until its occupants had shown themselves.

Takemaru continued towards the house, now in the open. Walking alongside his comrade, he noticed that one of the two was a Kirigakure no Sato shinobi..
The man next to Takemaru spoke.

"Do you think he betrayed us?"

"Who knows; best be prepared for a fight."

The two of them stopped at about twenty feet from the two who had emerged from the residence. Everything was prepared. Takemaru spoke towards [Senko] and [Aoiro].

"The both of you will come with us."

Senko shifted a little as he turned around, he saw at least two individuals out in the open.

"Protection huh, they seem a little hostile."

Senko's hands slid into his pockets as he tilted his head. His mind raced at his options. He was sure there were more than two.... this had a very black ops feeling to it. He continued to contemplate his options... he could use his release.... was it worth it? Senko decided that it wasn't, and with little warning through his hands up into the air surrendering.

"Well I can't speak for Aoiro, but uh, I give up. You can take me, I have no plans on putting up a fight."

“ I suppose I have to come and watch over you then. “ He rolled his eyes at Senko. Aoiro just stood there motionless. He already knew they were from the Mizukage’s tower. He had of course seen and heard of them before.

“ Well, lets go Senko. Best not to keep the Mizukage waiting. “ He stepped from his doorway and started walking towards the tower, already knowing its location. He wasn’t overly worried about the Hunter-nins attacking. But there was always a thought of it stuck back in his mind.

The man next to Takemaru turned and looked at him, whispering.

"He must be attempting to join the Seven Legendary Swordsmen. That's..."

His question was met with a nod.

It seemed rather suspicious, the man with the obscenely large sword accompanying the missing-nin.

Takemaru spoke.

"Let's leave."

They walked towards the two, and the man next to Takemaru circled around: they were in front of, and behind, [Senko] and [Aoiro].

Amaya leaped across the rooftops, idly brushing bits of tree particles from her hair and clothing. Cleaning up that lake she basically filled in was a lot of work and took up a lot of her morning, but at least it allowed her to get some extra training in before starting her day. Amaya stood still upon one of the rooftops and stretched her arms around, groaning as a few pops sounded from her bones. She yawned widely and cracked her knuckles.

“All that cleaning up made me hungry,” she said lazily, placing her hand to her stomach. “I wonder if Aoiro-baka still has some of that ramen...”

Decidedly, Amaya continued on her way to the house. However, she had not reached far from Aoiro’s house before she suddenly felt very potent chakra heading in her direction fast. Instinctively, she slid down the house she had resided on and into a shadow but three houses down from Aoiro. Placing her back against the wall, she saw them. Special ops Jonin advancing towards Aoiro’s house.

“They must have found out about Senko…”

Amaya remained hidden and merely observed the confrontation between the Jonin and Senko and Aoiro. Senko seemed compliable enough, which was good—fighting with Mizukage’s direct line of Jonin was a very bad idea. Hatred boiled within her as Amaya thought of these very same members killing her parents six years ago. They all had worn masks back then, and thus Amaya wouldn’t know faces, but six years wasn’t long…one of them could have been her parents’ murders.

She had to calm down. Amaya took a breath and waited. Having observed it all from the beginning, Amaya knew that three of the shinobi had hidden. She would wait for all five of them to depart before following them discretely.
