Onwards! [Private|Travel]

[Masato]

Swift footsteps would bring the flowery meadows of Kusa no Kuni into the air, pollen arising with every step. Kicking up dust as the twins carried themselves off towards the border, they would know the path all too well from their Border Patrol. However, as they dawned ever closer, they would begin to sow their travels as they came to the point of crossing into Konoha. For a moment, a silence crossed the two, side by side, staring into the forests of Konoha. What could possibly await them past these borders?

Well, obviously, nothing that would frighten the twins. For with the first bold step, Masato would smile at his brother, crossing the border into Konoha. With another smile, Seiji, too, would step firmly across the border, and the twins would resume their travels through Konoha. Soon finding themselves within the enclosing trees of the Fire Country, they would begin to swiftly to twist in between each tree, forming complex patterns as they began to evade each tree. Soon finding themselves jumping upon branches, leaping high above the canopies, they would finally know for themselves; they were within Konoha.

[Moved to Land of Fire]

[Masato]

Suns drifting over orange horizons, it would appear as though the day was soon to come to a close. However, the travels would not stop, the twins habing been moving through Konoha for several hours now. A great distance was to be traversed to place themselves within the Claw Country, but not too great for the young twins. With graceful movements would they find themselves flying fitfully over the treetops, their robes fluttering with the winds. It would be then that they spied the great farmlands of Oto no Kuni.

With haste would the twins push their legs against the ground, soaring off towards the Land of Sound. It's peaceful farms would provide easy passage as travelers, offering quite a range of cover as well. When finally the great Konoha forests would end, and their feet would again touch upon the soft soil of this new land, the twins would glance towards the sky. Hanging there was now a full moon, its brilliant radiance causing the surrounding lands to glow in it its protection. The country, being thin, would reveal a great smoke stack rising into the sky in the distance, revealing the presence of the Land of Claw. They were close...

[ Move to Oto ]

[//Talo//]

~Moved.

[Masato]

OOC: Much thanks to whoever moved this.

IC:

The great smoke covering portions of the sky, the twins would use it as their personal beacon as they set off towards its monstrous shadow. Glistening moonlight cast around it, lighting the paths that were not directly under its influential shadow. The twins, moving to either side of this shadow, would release a flurr of insects to help keep tabs on one another. The quiet night air now alive with the fluttering and heavy beating of wings, the twins would push their legs upon the ground, running off to their next adventure. it would be Seiji to first complete his mixture of insects, thus leaving Masato to gain his final clan.

With those thoughts twirling within the minds of both twins, they would find themselves distracted as they came ever closer to their first destination. Hopeful beginnings presented themselves to the twins as they cast themselves off to diversity, willing themselves to travel endlessly through the now approaching dawn to set off into Claw. As rivers, villages, hermits huts, and forests passed by, the twins would find themselves once more within a new scenery. The evergreens surrounding the two twins as their insects led them once more to each other, Seiji would part his lips as he glanced towards the massive volcano.

"Welcome to Tsume."

[ Move to Tsume (Claw) ]

[Tenkai]

{Moved}

[Axcel]

Why is this an announcement?

[zuka]

Because my character is that super special awesome. But I'm not completely sure. Did Tenkai accidentally make it an announcement?

[|Ayame Unbound|]

"So, a voice whispered behind the shinobi. "You have come to seek me out. You certainly look odd." Inspection would prove the voice to be disembodied, perhaps an illusion of some kind. "Seek me if you dare young one. I reside within these very woods, but be prepared and do not dissapoint me." The female voice faded with the wind, leaving the male very much alone. Now the choice was his, to seek the disembodied voice, or would he shrink from the challenge? Only time would tell.

[Masato]

"What was that?"

The twins said it almost simultaneously, their separate beings turning towards where the source would have been located. However, the moonlight cast upon the earth at that position would reveal nothing behind them. Yet, the voice continued to speak. It drew them closer, or was trying to shun them away. What force could possibly be attempting to clash with the twin's minds? But Seiji, turning to face forward once more, would instantly know where it had come from. The voice was the very thing they sought in these woods.

Now, with the very small clue as to the female's whereabouts, the ninja would take off. Seiji splitting off to the right, Masato to the left. Distanced apart at a thirty meter interval, they would begin a scan of the woods from their current location to the volcano itself. Due to the massive size of the woods, they would not be surprised if this journey took days to complete. With padded footsteps against cushioned earth would the boy's take off, their eyes scanning with extreme precision as the sky slowly become brighter. Come the true time of dawn, the boy's would unleash their insects to find this hidden female.

For now, they sought for her physically. Not knowing in which direction she lay, they continued off towards the volcano. Bouncing from tree to tree, root to root, looking within each surrounding canopy, the twins would find nothing. The fact that she was in the woods was not really a discerning clue as to her hideout, as the woods covered the country as far as they knew. THe daylight approaching, their cerulean optics scoured the landscape as they traversed upon the winding paths of Tsume no Kuni.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Deep within the woods Aika's eyes shot open and she shook her head quickly. Projecting her spirit was always a head rush. She smiled contentedly as her butterflies swarmed her being to feed from her blood nectar. "They will come my dear," the woman whispered, her voice seemingly the very essence of air. "They will find us, perhaps they will be right for you, perhaps they will not." Within the small but happy cottage she would lie in wait for their arrival.

[Masato]

OOC: Sorry for the wait. Vacation and stuffz. Also, I assume you determine when I arrive at the cottage or when it is found, so I'm going to do a little something here.

IC:

With the rising sun now climbing steadily into the awakening sky, the view of the forest would become much clearer to the boys. Although it did little to aid in their search, it did take away from them the shades of the trees darkening the blackest corners of the woods. With light shining now through the treetops, the search would hopefully become much swifter in its pace. With fleeting footsteps would the twins push from each tree and onto the dirt path, now letting each of their arms extend before them.

With a sudden burst from their limbs, the insects would pour forth. The grueling swarms of Kikaichu burst through the woods, quickly enveloping the many trees in the nearby area. The bees, as well, came fortuitously from Seiji, exploding through the canopies and diving once more to search through the forest. Twisting around every tree and 'corner,' the insects would rush amongst the natural world, their focus upon the discovery of the voice of the woman. Thousands of insects pouring and scouring the woods, the search would likely soon be completed.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

'Using other insects....' Aika thought to herself as she observed through a crystal ball. 'Why, thats just not fair.' Out of spite the woman began perforing hand seals, she was prepared to teach these boys a lesson if they planned on using means of another insect to gain the ones she called her own. Her illusion shot out into the forest, ignoring the supposed limits of distance. It seemed that distance meant little to the woman who paid no attention to it. It was time for the Kikai to meet their enemies, the Kamizuru bees.

[Masato]

"What the hell?!"

And what had once been a peaceful conjunction between the two insects had engaged into a full war. Black clashed with yellow quite suddenly as the imaginary attackers drove the real insects to great frustration. As Kikai began to kill the bees via chakra drain, whilst the bees attacked the Kikai with their stingers, their bodies would soon litter the earth around them. The search would soon be ended with the insects, for the angry buzzing and frustrated beating of wings would drive the twins themselves to the brinks of insanity.

Running amongst the chaos that had ensued, the twins would fight their way to the center of the swarm. Their arms flailing about wildly as roaches began to cover their bodies as a mere protective layering, the twins would slowly, but surely, push their way to the center of the massive war. The forest was in disarray, and it was time for it to be corrected. Both twins, back to back, extending their arms outward, would emit a great pulse of chakra. Each attuned to their own insect, the remnants of each swarm would soon return to their master.

Battling still took place as some insects returned to their controllers, they would gaze about the area in awe. Thousands upon thousands of bodies, some still moving slightly, lay upon the ground. The once flourishing floor of the forest was now littered with the casualty count. With tears coming to their eyes, the twins would bow their heads as what was left of their swarms nestled within them. Turning his head, almost angrily, Masato would speak to his counterpart.

"This better be worth all the shit here."

A simple nod from the bowed head of Seiji would be his response, and the twins would set off once more. Now beginning their journey at a simple walk, they would carefully gaze about their surroundings. Specifically, their eyes were set upon peering around for the signs of civilization, or any inhabitants for that matter. Perhaps a trail of smoke from a fire, or the remnants of food strewn about a campsite. Yet, at their cerulean gaze pierced through the wooden labyrinth, they found nothing.

Clenching his fists in rage as Masato took to the trees, he would find himself within a rather large clearing within moments. Stopping for a brief moment, he would look to the heavens and scream with all his might to their unknown 'attacker.' He wanted to make it known the anger over the death of his insects. Not only that, but for his brother's own insects as well. So, with the mighty roar, his voice would echo deeply throughout the forest.

"Why do you not just show yourself?! Why must we be forced to this Hell?!"

And when finally the ringing of his voice had stopped within his own ears, he would release a mighty sigh. Again starting his pace throughout the forest, his walk would soon break into a run. However, it was not within a straight line that he ran. Now, in conjunction with Seiji, he darted in zig-zag motions across the forest. First, fifty meters in one direction. A sharp turn would then send the twins in the opposite direction fifty meters as well. Each twin had positioned themselves opposite one another so that each side they traveled upon was always within their field of view. They would find this woman, even if it would take years of their life.

[hotaru]

With a small giggle, the Kitateha mistress continued to provoke the mysterious traveler. Patience is a virtue young shinobi. Besides, I dont get many visitors in my forest. Forgive me for enjoying my self a bit before you reach destination. Since the woman could apparently project illusions through her crystal ball, she would cast another deception. Her next attack would be a bit less subtle than her previous genjutsu. Each twin would suddenly be attacked by a flock of crows descending from the trees, sharp talons and beaks aimed to scratch at their bodies. Of course, no real harm would come to the shinobi. Aika just wanted to have a little fun watching her guests squirm.

[Masato]

As the crows came forth from the heavens and the canopies, the twins would ready themselves. Each drawing from their pockets two kunai, one in each hand, they would stand ready at each other's backs. Kicking off the ground, the two would leap into the air. Their quest to become master's of the insects was soon to end, as the twins swung their arms at the crows. Kunai extended, the blades would seemingly pierce the raven-colored bodies of two crows, each phasing through their arms as they continued on their path.

As the twins fell to the earth in confusion, the flock would seemingly double in size. A little dazed from the previous genocide of insects, the obvious injuries to the crow that did not occur meant nothing. Now, in slight fear, the twins darted out from their position into the woods. Their legs carried them swiftly as the crows followed, always seeming to increase their numbers. It would not be long before Masato opened his coat slightly, coating his body with roaches.

As his hands flew into rapid seals, his mass would begin to grow. Turning around as his sized increased greatly, he would swing his massive arms through the trees. Breaking down branch and leaf, the heavy mass would swing through the flocks of crows. As it was merely a GenJutsu, the crows would appear to be crushed between the arms, and to Masato would seemingly be eaten by their craving mouths. Now, as Seiji leaped upon his brother's creation, he would crouch upon his shoulder, blades in hand. They were not going to run any further.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

"You're almost there my child... why do you stop?" the whispering voice echoed through the trees once more. Did he intend to give up? That was not the attitude Aika was looking for from a prospective clan member. He was so close to give up. Just beyond the line of trees was a cottage, her home. Once he arrived he had one obstacle left to overcome, would he succeed? Or would she continue to wait for a true match for her butterflies to come along?

[Masato]

'Why do we run?"

The massive creation stood, glaring at the oncoming crows as Seiji climbed upon its shoulder. As he turned his head to look at his brother whilst the crows came towards them, they both knew the voice was right. They could not stop now, even with the oncoming threat. Even if it was to fight, they were so close to their goal. Why would they let such a minor inconvenience halt them? Turning round as the earth shook in his wake, Masato would take off, his now massive legs carrying him swiftly through the trees.

As the crows approached, Seiji would turn to look at them while still resting upon his brother's shoulder. Seeing now as the crows faded away, he came to the realization that they must have been a GenJutsu. Alas, a wonderful technique to be had by the two twins. Perhaps one day he could dip into such fine arts as well. Smirking as the final crow faded, he would find his brother urging to a stop, glancing around to see brighter light as the canopies above them faded away.

Before them now was a small cottage, decorated in flora and a lively beauty. It was a simple sight, and yet a glorious one at the same time. Was this finally the time in which they could reach their goal? Was now the time to realize their plans to master all the insect clans? As the roaches now retreated to the massive coat that Masato wore, he would be restored to his normal size as Seiji leapt down from his shoulder. Standing next to each other, they would look upon the cottage with cautious eyes.

"Is this it?"

[|Ayame Unbound|]

So cottage... Aika is inside. As soon as the dude spotted the cottage everything around him exploded into butterflies leaving him trapped for now in his last test. What would he do? The butterfly woman would wait and watch through her crystal ball instead of looking out the window like a normal person

SPOILER: Click to show

Name: Kitateha Ikiwataru [Butterfly Diffuse]
Rank: S-rank.
Skill: Genjutsu, passive.
Effect: Allows the user to fool their opponent into believing their surroundings are turning into masses butterflies.
Special: Hand seals.
Drawback: Must have a Kitateha Butterfly upon each desired target. If the butterfly is killed that location will not be effected. Each butterfly placed will cast an illusion over 50 meters and no more.
Description: Once of the most powerful Genjutsu within the Kitateha clan, this allows for the user to trick their opponent in mass quantities. First, the user will flip through a series of handseals which will unlock their chakra and implant it within several of their butterflies (as many as they need, actually); this allows for the butterflies to land on certain targets and filter the chakra of their master into it, making the Genjutsu capable in the first place. After this has been accomplished the user will be abe to manipulate these objects within the Genjutsu, causing them to "diffuse" into large flocks of butterflies all at once. Due to both perceptions being used, this allows for the user to completely effect the surrounding, making the sensations created (wind, scent, feeling of falling if they land on a tree and it disperse) all the more real.
Limit: Figment and Phantasm Perceptions required.

[Masato]

"Oh motherfucker!"

As finally the goal came into view, and hope entered the young boy's hearts, their world would come crashing down. Rather, it would begin to explode. But not into a fiery explosion of death and dismay. Instead, a spiraling confusion of butterflies, with their pretty colors and pathetic appearance. Yet, would they have traveled all this way if it was not worth it? Depends, but probably not! And so, as Masato's hands returned to their seals, Seiji would rip from his pouch three kunai and three exploding tags. Swiftly tying them onto each, he would jump into the air as the roaches began to swarm his brother.

His body would begin to sink slightly into the roaches, a small pocket forming for the lower portion of his mass. As he would thrust the three kunai forward with all his might, he would wait merely a moment before he brought his hands together into the seal. The butterflies appeared to be doing no physical harm at the moment, so their best bet was to push through them. The flames would tear through the butterflies and leave a massive cloud of smoke in their wake. It was at that point as the smoke came, that Masato would charge forward.

His massive form crashed heavily upon the earth, his arms raised into the air in an "X" to hopefully push back any surviving insects. Seiji, on the other hand, would have his hands coming together into seals as he would emit an enticing scent. Any bees from the surrounding area would immediately come to his aid, attacking any butterflies they could target. Their venoms coulds easily dispatch of a butterfly should it make good contact. The twins only hope was to survive as they pushed heavily through the butterflies about them. But, what would await on the other side of the smoke?
