Kusagakure Castle

[Aimi Kaguya]

Yes, they were going to ask. The more that the Kusakage said, the more Aimi was filled with a strange sense of dread and bewilderment. Then it was put flat out on the table that he was wanted as a body guard and that... just didn't make sense to him. If the ANBU couldn't be trusted, then why not ask a simple jounin instead? Not only would they have more experience than him but they'd be stronger too no doubt. It all in all just didn't add up to Aimi, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious for it.

"I don't understand," he said frankly. "Isn't there someone else more suitable than me available to be a body guard? I mean, I'm just a genin..." He was already dreading the next few sentences that would come out of the Kusakage's mouth. If he was ordered to be their body guard, he couldn't refuse. That would be a huge responsibility on his shoulders, one he wasn't sure he wanted to carry. Still, all the same if he was ordered he absolutely couldn't refuse... such was the power of the Kusakage over all shinobi.

[CATBUG!]

Peter grew solome as the ninja spoke. He sighed. The village had not been in the best of care resently. And many ninja had ether left or disappeared. But that was for later use. He sighed and stood up. “Recently… there was a massacre at Fort Brenlow, a small town turned into a fort. To but it bluntly. We lost 34 ninja, most of our jonin in that group. Those who are alive are ether comatose or ruined beyond repair or hope of returning to the battle field. Someone is strategically attacking out bases and wiping them out. I need someone, anyone I can get to come with me to investigate. Please. What ever is out there is putting our village at risk. And ill understand if you say no. I don’t particularly want to see what that monster did to the town myself. But being kage comes with… certain responsibilities.





Cross smiled and approved the mission of the new ninja. "Welcome to the force."

[Aimi Kaguya]

Aimi's face grew grim at the news. so many dead or injured... and they're village forces are so weak? Truly? Things were grim indeed if things were as bad as the Kusakage was making them out to be. What was more, they were making it so that Aimi couldn't refuse. They might not have said it directly, but it was in their body language and in their words. The Kusakage wanted Aimi for this mission... and he couldn't refuse it. With a sigh he closed his eyes and tried to picture the Chunin Exams. Never mind the fact that from the sounds of this mission he might not be going to them, he tried instead to imagine that it would look fantastic on his record to have such a high ranking mission in his resume. If word got around, it might also be a source of intimidation for the other genin there as well. He had to look on the positive side, because the alternative was glum indeed...

"Alright, I'll do it," he said, getting up from his chair and looking at the Kusakage he'd just met. He took his hands out of his pockets and balled them into fists at his sides, trying to hide the ebbing fear that he was feeling. "I"ll need a little bit of time to prepare before we leave... when will we be departing?" Waiting for his answer, Aimi stood very still and very quiet, listening intently to the date and time of departure. If things were as bad as they sounded it wouldn't be long he imagined, and he'd only get so long to prepare. When he had his answer, Aimi bowed politely and turned to leave without a word, heading out of the door-less door frame and walking down the hall towards the steps leading to the first floor and the exit. He was going on a mission soon... the first mission he was really and truly scared of.

[Exit]

[CATBUG!]

Peter smiled and handed the man a time and location. before turning to other matters at hand.

[CATBUG!]

Peter walked out. his hand raised as he told cross where he was going and he turned a small portion of the sand tower into a large gourd on his back. "Ill be Back Cross. send one of your best with me."

Cross nodded and sent a ANBU with him.

[Ten'yo Haiwynn]

Haiwynn reentered the Castle, sometime later. He had written up his mission report during the night, and headed to the sign in at daybreak.

''I finished my first mission, reporting in.''

Heavy set Hotaru Akimichi entered the building of the Kusakage. Her lovely pale skin glowed within the walls of the dim sand-made pyramid. A certain uneasy came over her as her blue-green eyes darted back and forth across the solid walls of sand surrounding her and noticed the place was rather bland. Her hair would stick out of the side of her, two, short pig tails dangling down the sides of her skull just waiting to be yanked. She hoped the reason that the building seemed so empty was not so it could trap and catch people off guard.

The reason was that the tall, chunky girl had never been inside the Kusakage's castle before, since she had just been made a ninja, but she intended to work for the village because it had done so much for her already by giving her and her family a place to stay. She was just extremely scared of what kind of person the Kusakage was, if he or she was a prankster or not. She found herself quickly coming a desk though in the center of the building and looked down at her black body armor covered in tubes hoping it was fitting okay as she tugged at the front of it a bit to make sure it covered her stomach and chest nicely. She was a large girl and had always had trouble finding clothes for her growing body. It was embarrassing that her parents and her had not had time to re-check her armor before coming here, however, if she wanted to gain any favor in the village she knew she had to get off her butt and get to work.

Tapping her special sword on her waist for good luck, she held her left fist up to her mouth and coughed once, then twice, before saying, "Hello, I hate to bother anyone in here, but I am a new ninja just raring to go for a mission if you would not mind." It seemed the current secretary on duty was busy sending off someone to a mission, but she hoped he could hear her.

[CATBUG!]

the Anbu appeared and looked at the girl. he smiled, yet another new recruit from the school. "I am... A friend. tht board over there has missions. please, pick any one you like as long as it fits your rank. and if your unsure i will tell you."

Peter walked into the tower, in a hurry. his hair a slight mess but he fixed it as he got in. the kage passed the bard. "excuse me, mind doing me a favor? I've had a very stressful day and i need some music. ill pay you for your time. go on up and wait in the main room please?" he pointed kindly to the kage office. after he did, if the bard did go up to the tower, or if the bard left, by the time the kage was given the note and read it he would be told it was from the bard. and the kage was not happy about it. "I..,..see..." he turned toward the direction of the bard, and if the bard was leaving the building, the door would close and seal shut with sand before the bard could leave, and if the bard went to the kages room the door would close behind her.

"This is not an attack, but if you do not call off your friends i will end your life." the sand around the kages feet twitched. "i will not tolerate threats to my village! not now!"

[Draven]

Unfortunate Timing

To Peter it would feel as if the heavens would open up. The feeling of God's presence would compel the Kusakage to deconstruct his Tower. Furthermore the God would instruct, or at least feel like instructions where given to Peter to justify this action and any other action the Kusakage is currently taking. Should the Kusakage feel the need to exit the Tower, he would find that action impossible for the time being. The action of deconstructing the tower piece by piece must be satisfied....

Though whose to say Peter couldn't interact as he does this. Who's to say the Kusakage couldn't use this to his advantage. After all the entire Tower was made of sand...

Peters head began to scream, as if a thousand voices were inside his brain screaming at him to rebuild his tower. he heard the angels voices and he could do nothing but follow their words. But in doing so he would kill this bard who so foolishly believed themselves able to hurt his village. the doorways in the hallway turned to sand. sealing the bard inside with not on else as it soon rushed the bard. The sand wopuld attempt to grab the bard,which in the small confines of the sealed allway would be hard to dodge. but not impossible. "LET THEM COME! LET THEM COME SO THAT WHEN I MURDER THEM I MAY FIND THEIR FAMILIES AND SKIN THEM ALIVE!" the Kage yelled, an odd thing for him. his hair looked disheveled as the Kage then,m with a few hand seals crushed the Bard inside the hallway, which was void of windows or exists thanks to the sand moving. due to the way the sand held the bard, the head would be spared.

TECHS

Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin)
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Chakra controls sand so that it surrounds the opponent or parts of his body, capturing them completely in sand. Only the face is spared to allow breathing. When the opponent is captured, they may be lifted into the air and may even be attached to something. When the user does this, the user has the power to instantly destroy the opponent if feels necessary. The technique is so precise that the opponent feels virtually no pain when the technique is done. What occurs is that the sand constricts and tightens around the opponent so fast that it quickly passes right through the opponent somewhat making the opponent explode, but literally just being crushed to a new extreme melding within the sand that kills the opponent.
Special: Raise hand upwards towards the opponent to grab, close fist to kill opponent.
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique that can be used against any part of the human body whether it is the whole body or perhaps just a body part. A technique where sand wraps around the opponent and is used to destroy the opponent's ligaments or even the whole body.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know Suna Futoiude no Jutsu, Must know Sand Control D

[CATBUG!]

The young Kage wasn’t without his senses, and as the bard seemed to move to fast to see toward the door, he would send the sand from his previous technique toward her. Even if he didn’t make contact, he would have her head. As the sand attacked, he would call out to his ANBU. “SEAL THE VILLAGE! ALL EXITS ARE TO BE CLOSED AND GUARDED!” the ANBu would rush off to radio for the gates to close. As the Kage let the young bard get away. He smiled weakly, but with a tinge of madness. “Its time I sent my dog on a hunt…” he smiled and with a quick move of his arm he wrote down a letter for his Hunting Dog, the man named Kenji. Then, picking his fastest bird, he sent the letter off to the man.
