Fasten your seatbelts children [P]

[▐Shibu]

Taste the Rainbow... wait what?

There would be two men walking down this slim path, snow around the area as you could imagine but light outside and of course cold. One man would seem to be or have the ninja build, the other seemed punier and sorta seemed like he would piss himself upon coming into danger. The one man, the ninja would be under the name of Sato and the punier man was Dontay. Sato seemed to have control of him, being about 5 meters in front of Dontay while walking and blabbering his mouth.

“I’m going to get the money for that man to give me some more information about the seal damn it and you’re going to help me! I want to feel that power!”

Dontay would simply nod as Sato looked back behind him when he told Dontay he was going to help him. Dontay also had one Bingo Book in hand and some papers, what these papers had been about or what was written on them would be impossible to really tell unless you took them form him somehow. As they continued to walk, Dontay dragging his feet as Sato seemed upset, wanting to get that money, but what he was really talking about wouldn’t really be known, money for what? Still however he seemed pissed, like the type of pissed of the next person that walks by he plans on killing and Dontay knowing this would just stay to himself and continue walking 5 meters directly behind Sato.

OOC: NPC'ing event for Sora.

[— sora!]

Finally, a road! During the entire trek through this snowy wasteland, Akuseru, whom is currently in control, hadn’t seen a single road! No wonder this place was considered a ‘minor’ country and acknowledged as inferior by many. When people called Yukigakure the “Field of Eternal Snow”, they meant it! Then again, the country itself didn’t represent its hidden village, but Akuseru wasn’t one to care about that. The shinobi world was an unfamiliar one to the lad, despite his ability to utilize their arts.

It wasn’t long before the easily excitable Airontoku would come across another figure. Two figures to be exact. Now, if it were Sora, he would’ve passed the two without passing a mere glance their way. However, this is not the case. Akuseru was in command here and he demanded some social activity! He hadn’t seen as much as a single soul since he ran across Mr. Crazy with the orange hair and massive sword, which was now strapped onto the Airontoku’s back, its weight seeming to bear no burden to the youth. What a bloody mess that ended up being, first the kid attempted to converse with Sora and then attempted to kill him out of the blue. He must’ve suffered from that Sora’s senpai at the Airon Nejiro said all women had, which enabled them great strength through their furious mood swings.

Now, just how would he greet these two men? One seemed more reserved and physically capable, where as the other was a smaller man who appeared to be on the edge of lunacy. They were without doubt odd fellows in the eyes of Akuseru, which was more ironic than anything. With every passing moment, Akuseru neared the two and if he hadn’t anything to say then he would miss his opportunity of…conversing with another being! We can’t have that happening now, so he would greet the pair just as he would greet any other stranger.

“Say, do you two know where I can find a Strawberry Sundae?”

[/blockquote]

[▐Shibu]

Sato seemingly on edge, he needed that money, he wanted the power of this fabled ‘Cursed Seal’ rushing through his veins. Of course he was all strength and no brains so that is why he had the less so strong Dontay behind him. As they continued to walk, both looking ahead of them but of course Dontay seeing Sato’s back as well. Anyways, Sato would see someone, he’d give out this devilish smirk as he saw the man knowing that he wouldn’t be able to control his urge, not of killing but the urge for money which in turn is the urge for power and obtaining that seal. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to control it he would start to tell himself that this person had to have some Ryo on him, he just had to, Dontay eventually having his eyes grace the man would know what was coming and prayed that this random figure could defend himself and who knows maybe Dontay will get lucky and he’ll kill Sato.

Right around the point that they could punch each other it would seem the man would ask some question, not just some question the man wanted a strawberry sundae. The fuck type of question was that is what Sato would be asking himself, and Dontay hearing this question to would think that the man didn’t know how to defend himself. The odd question would give him that interpretation and with the man seemingly closer towards Sato then Dontay, shit seemed like it was going to get rough fast. With the man closer to Sato, Sato would reach out to grab the mans neck and right around the point that he was reaching out to grab the mans neck he would be speaking at the same time.

“The place is filled with ice and snow, now all we need is the strawberries. I’ll be sure to make some with my fist pounding into your face!”

That look was of evil intentions, of course and Dontay seeing this would simply shake his head as he brought his eyes down towards the ground. He didn’t want to see the pound that this man would be getting it always is a very unpleasant site and no matter how many times he see’s it he can never get over it.

OOC: Simply strangle attempt with his hand, no real technique but consider the man a B ranked brawler.

[— sora!]

“Corny joke is corny.”

Akuseru was not amused. His toothy grin from earlier had suddenly faded into a dumbfounded look. As we might have previously learned through the lad’s own misadventures, a displeased Akuseru was not a friendly one. Where does one get off saying such distasteful jokes? Akuseru was a man of humorous adventure, and this man was ruining it all! If the boy hadn’t been attacked simultaneously as the man had spoken, he would have likely fallen over due to the sheer lack of laughability within the joke. Yes, laughability. Instead, Akuseru ‘turned away’, and let Sora himself deal with the man. The cheerful boy’s mood for adventure had been spoiled so easily.

Now honestly, just how dumb can a guy get? Sora understood the world was filled with desperate grunts, but he had an enormous blade strapped to his back, an elegant katana at his side, and it was clear he held the body of a trained soldier. Let’s not forget the shiny claw equipped gauntlets he wore. Bearing all of this in mind, just why would one come rushing towards Sora in such a blunt manner? This alone told him everything he needed to know about man. He was fool.

The man’s attempt to wrap his gritty hands around the neck of the Airontoku would indeed be successful. A piercing gaze would meet the stranger’s eyes as Sora seemed to not resist the man’s iron grip at all. As the man choked him, Sora’s stoic expression would remain unchanged, despite suffering from the affects of the choking. His body hadn’t moved a muscle; in fact, it was odd that the larger man’s weight hadn’t moved Sora at all as he strangled him. The answer however, would come long before the man had any time to dwell on such a matter.

As both of the man’s bulging arms were occupied and Sora’s crimson eyes met his, without a moment of hesitation, Sora would thrust his hand towards the man’s chest. His hand was not balled up into a fist, but rather flattened out as he attempted to thrust through the man’s flesh with the sharp talons on his gauntlets. His attack would be swift and silent, aiming to end the life of his new foe with the efficiency of a machine. If he was indeed successful, then Sora’s arm would tear through the man’s chest and into his heart, and he would follow this by simply crushing his heart and ending the man’s life.

Weapon equipped:
Tetsu Tsume [ Iron Talon ]
Rank: 'B'
Type: Main Weapon
Effect: This is a meticulously created gauntlet that is made to fit very, very well on the user’s hand/forearm. It has a complex array of mechanisms inside that allow it to latch onto the user’s arms comfortably enough to let him forge hand seals with ease even while they’re worn.
Drawback: Due to the complexity of the weapon, it requires a Raiton type jutsu to bring all the mechanisms inside together correctly. ( If you wanted the weapon and you don’t have Raiton, you could always have someone else do it for you. Friendships are a part of roleplay. Have your character make a friend willing to learn the tech required to take it off and put it on and you’re set. )
Description: This is a highly complex weapon inside, but outside, it’s a sleek sheet of obsidian metal made especially to encapsulate the user’s arm as if it was a second skin. [ It’s made black for stealth purposes, but after blocking enough sword strikes with the gauntlets, a bright gray could end up revealed at some point. ] It ends up fitting so well that it’s virtually impossible for it to slip off of the users arms. The fingers are wrapped in iron that shapes into claws as sharp as kunai at the tips, and when the hand is coupled strongly enough, the user can very well thrust his or her hand into the target’s body. Aside from that, they can also be used to slash at an opponent ( like a claw normally would. ) The gauntlets may be used to block sword strikes from katana and the like but not without a small amount of discomfort. If struck by larger weapons such as axes, the user’s arms could very well end up badly damaged [ Same goes for the gauntlets. ] A smart user would block weaponry by parrying them rather than with stopping them completely to avoid absorbing all of the kinetic energy. The hands are outfitted with a kind of grip rubber that lets the user hold on to weapons pretty well, too.
Limit: Requires a Raiton based jutsu to be worn correctly and to be removed as well.
Cost: Available in all stores. 6,000 ryo. [ For one. ] ]

[▐Shibu]

Sato had his hand around the mans neck, while this was happening all he could think about was collecting the ryo on the person’s body after he had been knocked unconscious or death. His grip would tighten around the man’s neck, and during all of this he never once realized that his hand could wrap fully around this man’s neck. It didn’t look good for Dontay, he wanted this guy to end up killing Sato and hopefully the man would just be on his way, so he too could be on his way. As Dontay watched on the man wouldn’t do… no wait he was about to attempt some piercing attempt towards Sato’s chest! Land! Land! Is all that could come towards his mind, crush Sato’s heart!

At this very same time Sato was as you could see some big oaf, he didn’t think of all the precautions before fighting but you could say he was some brawler so when he felt pain his senses would jump. The question now would be if Sato could stop the crushing blow from this man in time to where he could still fight. As this sharp hand would start to pierce through Sato’s chest, right at the very beginning Sato could feel that pain and he would instantly with his free hand grip that man’s attacking hand and attempt to stop him from making something that could very well already be lethal become something of an instant death.

When attempt to stop him his senses had just jumped but the question was rather how long could he last? He was a brawler so this pain wasn’t anything new to him but since it wasn’t something new to him and blood would easily slide down his chest he would also know that if he let this continue he’ll die from blood loss or become extremely weak to where this man could give out that crushing blow easily. He grind through the pain as he attempted to back away from the man now, rather like some evading jump to get some distance, no less then 5 meters. Of course when he attempts to do this he had to slide the man’s hand out of his chest and also release his grip around his neck. Once he did, if successful he would start to breathe heavily. His now bloodshot eyes would turn over near Dontay…

“Why didn’t you tell me he was attacking you puny shit!?!”

Dontay would simply shrug; at this point Dontay was hoping that he would die so he didn’t really need to explain himself. He was cheering for this other man; just well… he didn’t want to die also. Of course that was all up to this man since he really had no means of defending himself or well, attacking either.

This technique only resists to Elemental techniques. If the technique slashes, and pierces it still goes through.
Description: Ever wondered why a man could not drown, or someone being execution by electricity and yet still being alive. This is where this technique comes into play. This technique enables the Brawler the capability of withstanding elemental attacks as their body becomes greatly adaptable towards on coming attacks. When the user learns this technique the user is capable of withstanding "S" Rank Elemental attacks reducing the power down by one rank. It is capable of reducing "A" Rank techniques 1.2 times reduced, "B" Rank techniques down to 1.4 times reduced, "C" Rank techniques down to 1.6 times reduced and "D" Rank techniques 1.8 times reduced.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: D, C, B
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

I know Second Sense doesn't work but simply putting it there for the second technique used.

[— sora!]

A soft sigh would be all the two opposing men would hear from Sora. Escape, defense, retaliation: it was all futile. While his enemy may have managed to dodge death at that moment, Sora wouldn’t allow him to escape. It was clear this man attacked Sora with the intentions of killing him, it was written in his eyes. The desperation that gave the burly man such tenacity would be short lived, and the stoic Airontoku would make sure of that.

The man successfully prevented Sora from piercing his heart, but his own escape would not be allowed by the white-haired boy. While the stranger had gripped onto Sora’s attacking arm in order to prevent his own demise, Sora would turn his wrist slightly and grab onto the attackers arm with his own vice grip. He wasn’t about to allow his enemy to flee with such a minor wound now was he? No, not at all. As he held onto the man’s arm Sora would form a quick set of six hand seals with his free hand which rested at his side, his hands moving so quickly they appeared as nothing but a mere blur.

The cold crimson stare had never left the eyes Sora and remained focused on Sato, his expression still unchanged. With the hand seals quickly being completed, a ball of wind would form into the hand of the Airontoku. With a quick flick of the wrist, the ball of wind would thrust towards the gut of Sato in an upwards motion.

The Slyph’s Orb was one foot in diameter, and moved at a speed of five meters per second, and since the two men were only about a half a meter apart, Sato would not even be given a split second to react. Should the ball hit, the man would be sent over ten meters skyward before bursting. The force behind the sudden burst of wind would knock him even further away. The burst and rough landing alone should be more than enough to knock him unconscious as well, and Sora would simply allow the man to die a slow death, whether it be from bleeding out or the country’s unforgiving weather.

“As for you…”

His eyes darted toward the scrawnier man, and a slow paced walk would be made towards him as Sora gripped onto the hilt of his Ryuujin Jakka. His fate was in his own hands, and he had naught but a few moments to seize control of it.

Slyph’s Orb
Rank: “C” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Causes a small burst of wind to shoot forth from the user’s hand in the shape of an orb.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: The attack is clearly visible, causing distortion as the orb moves forward.
Description: The Slyph’s Orb is a wind-based ninjutsu in which the user will project a burst of wind, shaped with chakra to resemble an orb, in a straight line towards a target. The user will perform the handseals, gathering the required chakra as they create a small vacuum around their hand. The air, once gathered, will compress itself into the shape of an orb, about six inches in diameter. It is then launched from the user’s hand by the user extending their arm forward in a punching-like motion. The orb itself will move quickly, its’ speed as the orb travels causing a great amount of distortion in the atmosphere. It is capable of easily dispersing most secondary weapons and, in fact, is capable of dragging those said weapons along with them as the orb moves forward. Capable of traveling a maximum distance of ten meters, it will travel at a speed of around 2 meters per second, and then the orb will reach its’ final destination and burst five feet in radius, creating a centralized air explosion that is powerful enough only to knock over objects weighing less than 200 lbs. The main use of this ability is to catch opponent’s secondary weapons as they launch them, or, perhaps, use after your own secondary weapons are thrown, and then cause them to be flung about in all directions at the end of the burst. Ifat any point the Slyph’s Orb is incapable of moving forward, the burst will be prematurely activated.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release.

Limit: Must know the Slyph’s Orb.

[▐Shibu]

Sato would fly towards the air taking a direct hit, in the end he was some stupid brawler that hadn’t thought of all the precautions before taking action. Upon him flying through the air Dontay would watch him up in the air, blood pouring out from his earlier wound. Granted it didn’t seem like the wound had been caused with more damage but the fact that he was up in the air and was going to take one step fall towards the ground after already being weakened would seem like that was the end of Sato and correct he was. His body would flop towards the ground right around the time that Sora seemed to have threatened Dontay, it seemed like Dontay was going to die unless he could come up with some reason to have Sora let him live.

How cold, what did he do… he didn’t attack him he just stayed clear and let him do his dirty work towards Sato. When Dontay saw Sora’s hand placed upon his Katana handle he would crouch down some putting his hands towards his face, of course Bingo Book and these pieces of paper still in his right hand. Upon doing this he would speak, you could tell he was scared shitless.

“Please, I know of a way you can gain more power spare me and I will tell you about how you can do this… please, I… I have two children and there mother has passed away.”

His begging and pleading had to work, in this type of world if you had simply just been smart it didn’t seem to be enough so begging and pleading seemed to be the only real defense towards Dontay.

[— sora!]

The man was hopeless, cowering down in fear with his booklet covering his face, as if it would help him any. Sora’s cold stare was relentless, his crimson eyes fixed upon his target. The Airontoku’s slow paced walk would not falter in speed as he continued moving in the direction of Dontay, even as he began to speak. Power? Sora wasn’t one to lust for power, not him specifically anyways. Despite his lack of such lust, he did know that in order to survive in the cruel world that the shinobi had shaped he would need to be stronger. However, what would a being such as the man who cowered before him know of power? Sora hadn’t even displayed a glimpse of his own, so as far as he was concerned, Dontay was just babbling out what he thought appealed to the Airontoku most in a last ditch effort to save his own life. So he kept walking.

“I suggest you become much more convincing…”

He was only a few meters short from reaching the fear stricken man. Two children? Sora’s heard that story before. He was a trained soldier, trained by the ruthless Airontoku clan since he was a mere child. Entering the ranks of their academy years before the average trainee, and he certainly never knew what the luxuries of having a family were. To his plead of mercy, Sora was merely indifferent. His tight grip on the Ryuujin Jakka remained, and soon he would slowly begin to unsheathe the blade as he hovered over the crouched down man. Sora’s own shadow beginning to encompass him as he grew nearer and nearer.

Time was short, and Sora needn’t remind the cowardice man that. If he failed to convince Sora through elaborating more on this power he spoke of now, then he would be finished.

[▐Shibu]

Each step Sora gained towards Dontay, Dontay would shake more and more. You could the paper swish in the cold air and he dropped the bingo book by accident. He was fear stricken and it he found it, while in fear, to be rather heavy. Dontay hadn’t known much about this power that he could help Sora gain all he knew was that there was power far beyond the average gaining that on Ninja could gain; he knew that this power couldn’t simply be trained. He needed to be more convincing? At some time like this, it really was almost impossible to do, even with his smarts, when scared he was just your average man looking to live another day in this harsh world.

“I… I don’t know much about it al… all I know is it’ll gi… give you more strength then yo… you could nev... never hope to attain through training.”

It was true, he only knew of the man that he could lead Sora to in which Sora could learn more. Dontay however knew of what the man asked in order to obtain more information about this seal. When he had this power about the seal cross his mind he figured he would also tell Sora that it was some seal, he just remembered overhearing Sato and the man talking about the information but in order to achieve more he would need to pay him or kill someone that the man wanted dead. That was all he could remember, of course he also knew of the location.

“It… It’s some seal, I… I don’t know the name but I can lead you too the man that does… I… if you kill me you won’t kno… know where he resides.”

That of course was a lie as the location of where the man was located, or at least the wide area location of where he was located was written down on the piece’s of paper that Dontay had in his hands but Dontay knew this could be his only bargaining chip on living so he had to use it.

[— sora!]

“So be it.”

The fabled katana pointing at the neck of Dontay would remain in its threatening position. There would be no gain from killing this man, that much was established long ago by his inept abilities and lack of social status. If anything, striking this man down here and now would only result in Cyprien or Bane’s arrival. That was a problem Sora needed to avoid, and the retaliation he had brought down upon the larger man earlier wasn’t going to make it any easier. However, regardless whether this man’s s claim of obtaining power or not was a hoax or not, and it indeed seemed to be true, Sora would be treated to an adventure. After all, his extended leave from the Airon Nejiro was for that very purpose.

However, he wasn’t one who enjoyed wasting time. As his blade slowly rotated at an odd angle, the Airontoku would begin to channel heat into the blade, giving it life once more. The Akumahi Ken’s power was reduced, for he didn’t wish to ignite the flamed fueled blade quite yet. He lacked any murderous intention as he stood before Dontay, however his unchanging expression wouldn’t reveal such a weakness. From the small distance between the tip of Sora’s katana and Dontay’s neck, the very heat that radiated from the blade would feel intoxicating to such a frail being. In a flash, the blade would be swung. Not at the cutthroat’s neck though, but rather his arm. His aim was to decapitate the man, and the quick swing of the blade and heat which was channeled through it would minimize the pain, albeit not much, and reduce the fatality of the strike. The man wouldn’t die from bleeding out, that was for certain.

“The consequences of deceiving me will be worse than that. Now move.”

His words were cold, and his remorseless tone remained. He’d wonder what this seal the man spoke of could be, if it were real in the first place. Rather than dwell on the situation though he simply sheathed his blade and followed the man.

SPOILER: Click to show

Akumahi Ken [Demonic Flame Blade]
Rank: "D"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to focus and run flames down their Ryūjin Jakka.
Special: A focusing of chakra that takes five seconds to complete. The amount of time it takes for the technique to activate is reduced by one second at each progressive rank. [Ex: "D" = 5 seconds, "B" = 3 seconds, "S" = 1 second.] This technique must be active
Drawback: Every rank of the Akumahi Ken requires the same rank of Heat Resilience. Drains chakra as the user is forced to replace flames used by swinging the sword or using the techniques of the weapon. The Akumahi Ken flames may be put out with a sufficient amount of water. Drains an "E" Rank amount of chakra per turn for every rank that the user has active (This means at "D" Rank, one "E" per turn. At "B" Rank, 3 E's or 1.5 D ranks per turn, and at "S" 5 E's, or 1.25 C's.]
Description: By focusing a large amount of chakra around the blade, the user will then create a raging inferno around the blade of the Ryūjin Jakka.

At "D" Rank, the flames are only minimal, a small outline of flame around the sword with possesses little heat, capable only of small burns, reminiscent of a tiny candle and is quite easily put out. The sword is only capable of using up to one "D" rank attack before extinguishing.

[▐Shibu]

Dontay would try to hold back any tears but it was a really poor attempt, tears had been flowing across his cheek and he could feel the uncomfortable warmth that Sora’s blade presented. This was it would be crossing through his mind; death was to come to him today. He wanted to do so much more, and with that he would close his eyes, the smart man had heard that it wasn’t as painful if you just closed your eyes and with that, pain would be present. Not lethal though, but near his arm. He would start to scream in agony, and right then he would open his eyes seeing his arm against the cold snow, of course away from his person. He had cut off my arm! The pain was unbearable, of course it was hurtful but the fact that he wasn’t an actual Ninja would prove that he in turn wasn’t use to such pain.

His face would dig into the snow as he continued to scream, it would be like one trying to suffocate another with a simple pillow and you could hear that man being suffocated scream. Tears would continue to fall down his face as he heard Sora’s demand and threat. Luckily he hadn’t called him out on his lie or he would surly be dead, was what he though as he grabbed the Bingo book, still in pain. Of course he would leave his arm there, now only having one arm for the rest of his life… if he wouldn’t die accompanying Sora to this known man.

You cannot go from Snow to Bear in one post. Thus, I will move you as close as I can, which is Land of Earth.

[Moved. THE SS. YURI]

[— sora!]

Here again? It seemed wherever Sora’s travels would take him, the chain which bound him to the Airon Nejiro would pull him back to Tsuchi no Kuni. No matter how far across of the lands he traveled, he would end up back at in this dirt filled country. His oceanic travels had been the quickest route from Yuki no Kuni to Tsuchi no Kuni, but their voyage on ship would come to an abrupt stop at the shores of the earth hardened land. It was an annoyance, really. His indifference towards his location would remain, however.

During the course of this journey, Sora hadn’t uttered a single word to Dontay. He had no intentions of wasting his breath on small talk nor did he care for such leisure. Their walk through the earthly plains was silent, Sora’s scarlet eyes scanning the horizons as he followed the armless man through the country. Their crossing of Tsuchi no Kuni would hopefully lead them to another country, one devoid of such a boring environment. The Airtontoku grew tired of seeing this land repeatedly, although this may be the fault of Akuseru’s hyperactive attitude than his own, seeing as how the two shared a connection distinct from Cyprien and Bane.

The Airontoku merely wanted to see this ‘seal’ himself and perhaps be able to call upon its powers as his own. Indeed, in order to survive in such a harsh environment created by the careless pride induced wars by the shinobi, Sora would need strength. He was certain he had enough to merely survive though, the ‘unimaginable’ powers that Dontay spoke of was not for just survival. No, he had ambitions of his own. Ambitions the four of the Airontoku’s hosts held, albeit each having their own fuel for such a striving behavior. The four of them would require power beyond the strongest of shinobi, and even then, he would require aid among those shinobi. For what did Sora need such a vast pool of power for? What he wished to do was radical and a goal only sought out by those whom are rumored as an immortal.

What he desired was to change the world.

[▐Shibu]

The pain was still seeping inside Dontay and the fact that he now only had one arm would really bring him down emotionally as well. He would be the staring point of some children, he could imagine them saying ‘Mommy, look at the one armed man’ and any other foul words that children these days could conjure up. He also didn’t have the look of a shinobi so he couldn’t throw it off as this was something that happened upon serving his village either. He was simply guiding some to help him gain knowledge on how to gain power, he had no idea what Sora had intended if he gained this power or even if he would reach that point where he could get it, but he couldn’t ask question. If he did he would fear he wouldn’t be able to see again, or walk or any other foul combination of pain.

Dontay would just simply walk as he would bring his eyes up every now and then to look where he was walking, but other then that he would always look down at the path he was walking upon. He knew Sora was behind him but he wouldn’t dare look at him, he wouldn’t speak to him or anything, they would just continue on this silent and to Dontay, painful journey towards Kuma no Kuni.

OOC: I've come towards the conclusion that I am fucking awesome... that is all. Oh, and yea... forgot to look at the map, my bad.

::Move to Kuma no Kuni::

[otakulegend]

Moved.

[— sora!]

The dreary surroundings of Tsuchi no Kuni would soon begin to fade as both Sora and Dontay made their way into another country: Kuma no Kuni. A minor country filled with thick forests and bottomless canyons as well as numerous caverns. In other words, it was nothing special. Regardless of his dull surroundings, Sora would continue to walk along the guided path that Dontay had been setting for him. His destination wouldn’t take much longer, as they’ve already trekked across the entire continent. He was certain they would be arriving at the location Dontay had spoken of. It was there that Sora would be given an opportunity to seize more power. Of course, this is assuming Dontay had been truthful about this ‘seal’ he spoke of. If not, then the day shan’t end well for the armless voyager. Both Sora and Dontay knew that there would be no mercy shown should the Airontoku be deceived.

The right hand of Sora would move towards the hilt of his Ryuujin Jakka. Although he had been alert throughout their entire trip, he would remain especially so as he knew he would be approaching another man, whose abilities were unknown to Sora.

Dontay would hear Sora behind him placing his hand on his weapon, sweet would start to drip down the side of his face. It was quite obvious that he was nervous but they had been nearly there, they just needed to reach the capitol which was right around the corner and then the man should be at his home. Once Dontay introduced him to the man he figured he would be free to go, it seemed logical enough. He had already paid with the loss of one arm and he hadn’t even wanted to think about paying with the other or something worse.

There steps would lead them right around that very corner as they, assuming Sora was still walking behind him, walked into the very capitol of Kuma no Kuni which was known as Mitsubachi. When they stepped into the capitol Dontay would turn around, he couldn’t look Sora in the eyes, that would be asking too much of the man.

“He, li-lives on the far side of the capitol, it shouldn’t be much longer.”

::Move to Mitsubachi::

[otakulegend]

Moved.

[— sora!]

They would enter the bustling capital of Mitsubachi not too long after arriving within Kuma no Kuni. It was a populous city which failed to stand out among the many other capitols that Sora had visited. People busied themselves here with work, fun, or anything else of the sort. Seeing as how they were in a minor country, it was unlikely that they would encounter any shinobi whom held loyalties to a hidden village. If anything, they would only run into shinobi who had fled their villages for whatever reason, or more powerless thugs. Whomever the Airontoku would encounter, he would deal with them accordingly.

Following Dontay through the city, Sora’s gaze would switch from left to right. He made sure to take in his surroundings in order know where an exit is or where a certain area is, should he be required to leave quickly or go to any specific area. Whatever it may be that Sora needed to accomplish, he would do it with proper preparation. Time may be of an essence, but recklessness will only take Sora down a longer, inefficient path. His hand had never ceased it's tight grip on the hilt of the Ryuujin Jakka. His arm was ready to draw in a moments notice, despite being in a public area. Being in a low profile wasn't exactly the youth's specialty.

Walking more and more it would seem like the two had been walking into the slums area of this place, it seemed run down and dark, and gloomy. Some place that most anyone would seemingly not want to ever really visit. Dontay would make his way towards the front of some door on the lower level of what seemed to be an apartment building. Room 10 or rather there was just some half looking silver 10 against the door. Knocking on this door he would wait a couple seconds and then there would be someone that would just crack the door, his voice seemingly sick.

“What?”

Dontay wouldn’t look towards the man but he would just simply say in a coward like way.

“I’ve brought another who seeks information on the seal”

With that the man would close, then open the door fully, walking into the room. He had one Katana, one Wazakashi and a Tanto tucked into what seemed to be a dark cloth wrapping around his waist. His hair was long and he had a rather large beard growing, you could classify this man as an older Samurai. He would take a seat on this hard wooden floor, and there wasn’t much to the house. The walls had been white with black running from the top, what it was exactly isn’t sure. Windows had been scarce in the apartment as well, only one, and he was sitting in the path that the light present from that one window. At this point he would be facing the door now, while sitting and the distance had been about 5 meters. He would wait till Dontay who just now walked into the room and this other figure, while waiting he would speak.

“What is it you want to know? Information is valuable so keep that in mind.”

At this point he figured Sato who had come to him before had failed on giving him money to receive information on this seal. The man sitting there’s name was Kioncho but he had yet to give it.
