Turf Wars: Part I [Mission]

[Matsu]

"Hm. Seems to be quiet now. Wonder where everyone is.."

Takun stepped out onto the street as he passed through the gates, eyeing his surroundings. It seemed that the streets had become a ghost town at night, which would once be host to several late night city dwellers. It was like an eerie calm before the storm, a soft wind blowing in from the east as it ruffled his hair a bit. The only sound that could be heard was foot steps, those of Takun's unit who had come to see to the end of the gang wars. Diplomacy was probably the best route, or less scaring.. however he'd come for blood. They would be judged for their crimes, Takun had no remorse for those who took innocent lives.

"It's too quiet for my liking, stay sharp. We're here to see to the end of this war by any means neccasary. Any means, even if you have to take a life."

He repeated the last bit in a grave tone. He would not have one of them hesitate and get them all killed. He could never leave another behind, especially not a pair of young Genin, but it always paid to be on guard as much as possible. Making his way down the dark stone side walks, his foot steps would slowly come to a stop as he heard it; a chain whistling as if it were being spun. They were crawling out of their holes, however he had no idea if it was to fight each other or if they were both aware of the immediate threat from the Kusagakure Shinobi. It was times like this he wish he had that Onigami kid.

"Stay sharp. One at two o' clock. Doesn't seem like he posses much in the way of Shinobi skill, but I have been wrong before.."

He commented as a man stepped out of the alley, closely followed by three more. A dark grin spread on the front mans face as he looked closely at Takun, as he was the only one who made sure he was plainly visible. For as much as he paid attention, the other two could have hidden. "So it seems they've sent the Shinobi to deal with us, aye? A bunch of cowards. Pathetic." spat the man with the chain. The man to his immediate right, sporting a steel bat would step forward.

"It's not a fight ya want. I don't think ya got the guts, to be quite honest."

[rocket.]

"Yeah, it's like a ghost town..."

The young Genin added to what Takun had stated. The small squad strolled calmly through the ever-so-quiet city. It really was like a ghost town; not a soul in sight, save the occasional rat scurrying across the street. The gang problem was obviously severe; for such a popular and usually lively city to be reduced to such a state was unnatural.

Hostiles. Takun spoke of one, two o' clock. Gosuke clenched his gauze-wrapped fists and narrowed his eyes, scanning. It wasn't long before he spotted not one, but four fellows, emerging from the darkness like demons. Dark eyes became fixated on them as they moved, not letting such threats leave his sight. The men spoke down on the squad, practically spitting on the shinobi in a verbal manner.

"Takun, give me the order and I'll take these punks down.", the boy advised to the teams' leader. He pulled down the goggles from his head, and released them. After they slapped to his face, over his eyes, he got into a battle stance. Gosuke was ready.

[··¤(`×[¤Kumiko Chan¤]×´)¤··]

Kumiko took in a breath of air. She paused as teh wind blew slightly, giving the motionless town an eery feel. As teh men stepped out, she fixed her gloves.

"You're words the order boss," She directed at Takun. She remained in a normal position, one hand on her hip, the other resting. She eyes flickered slightly. "Two more." She noted casually. THey seemed to be passers, but she remained skeptic.

The two men stepped out from where TAkun told, she turned her head slightly that direction. Ha, I could take them all out at once with arrows. But yet, that would be a waste of finely crafted ones. As Gosuke became very tense, the men began to stir. She remained pleasant for the moment. Five... Two big, one scrawny, one woman, and... A boy her age?

"Im not so sure about all of them being non-shinobi.." She dragged. But odds were they werent.

[Shouran]

Shouran stepped on the scene, examining Takun's relative disgruntled mood and deciding that it was best to keep quiet. Of course, Shouran would have found any reason to keep quiet because of his submissive nature, however, this reason verfied his actions this time. Sitting onto the ground, the Kamizuru began hapazardly painting wolves on the scroll he kept in his pocket. This was a natural habbit for the shinobi and acted as a way to calm his nerves and prepare for battle all at the same time.

As he worked, he listened for any signs or indications that a conflict was about to begin. I hope this goes well...

[OOC: Got everything planned and I'll be Gming for you all and YES I used a Romeo and Juliet Reference Sue me.]


Now what could these two gangs be warring over? Simple, Drugs. Yes, The Miyazawa gang and the Kyoko clan have been warring for ages now. At first it was over their children marrying each other and dying for each other. This was to bring the two gangs together and to stop fighting each other...however tensions would rise as a very rare and expensive drug came into play. Aphrodite, Also know as the demon drug, It can sell for more than 1 million Ryo and it can destroy lives due to it's potency. Right about now there is a fight not to far from here involving the sides Sergeants. Eliminate these grunts first. They aren't anything you cant handle. "Well Well what do we have here, Shinobi..You know I've killed a few of you myself, aint that right boys." The front man would say. They would agree with him and he'd speak again. "Time to add more heads to my collection, Get them!" The man would yell. They drew swords, Each grunt with the same basic of basics stance, Kenjustu while the leader of these punch had a rather different stance. They'd charge with different attacks at their enemies.

[Matsu]

"Tch. Why is it always the stupid ones.."

The distance between them was not long, but it was long enough to give Takun time for his reaction. His hands would move quick, dancing in a familiar pattern as the chakra in his body sprung to life. It had been awhile since he'd seen combat, something his clan thrived off of. It was almost as if a beast had been awakened, his massive chakra shifting from a dormant state. In mere moments the ground before him would crack and give way to a giant set of spiked beams, aimed to pierce the loud mouthed scrub who charged and shut him up.

"I'll give you that, you're pretty brave for a bunch of scrubs."

Takun said smoothly as he jumped to the right, incase his seals were somehow interupted. Landing with a soft thud, his milky white eyes would scan the scene and make sure to count the enemies once again, double checking to make sure no one snuck in or out. With a wide grin towards his team, he would shout to them, "Give 'em hell. Don't hestitate, use anything you see fit." he spoke roughly, he didn't care what happened to the property as long as the mission succeeded. Carefully he'd begin to work another set of seals, he wasn't going to let the man die so quickly, nor did he believe he would.

[rocket.]

The enemies were, well, kind of sad. Not in any emotional sense, no, but in the fact that, compared to a squad of shinobi, they were inferior. "What a buncha punks.", Gosuke said with a snicker as a small unit of them charged forth. One of said unit charged right at the boy. Hesitation wasn't in the boy's agenda. As such, he never really thought things through.

A burst of Violet flames erupted from the boys feet, propelling him into the air, toward his opponent. About a meter or two above the ground, Gosuke went into a front flip, momentum and flames forcing his body to do so. The genin extended his legs, pointing his feet at his opponent as his flip ended. "Raaaa!", he roared, releasing a column of flames from his feet. The enemy was sure to meet his death in torrent of violet fire.

[··¤(`×[¤Kumiko Chan¤]×´)¤··]

Kumiko grinned, as they each dispersed into there own battle. As the man took a slight uncertain moment to position himself, Kumiko was awaiting his expected, blunt attack. While he struck a fist forward in a weaker attack, Kumiko used her best reactive jutsu, quickly biulding chakra into her finger.

The Chakra of the small young lady was quickly summed into the delicate tip on her right hand's indew finger, and as he lunged forward, she slammed the ground. This would ground 15 meters around the two shook immensly, Leaving big cracks like a quake. He was definetly unbalanced. Takun shouted something about giving them hell.

"Will do sir!"She laughed, drawing chakra into her fist, drawing back the raw power for a Medical spiced punch. .

[OOC: So about Shouran, IIC is up plus with my resolved IRL problems was enough time for him to post.]


The opposition was no match for this shinobi force, After all they were only grunts. They died swiftly and simply expect for two. One was stuck in a fissure throwing his weapon aside yelling that he'll talk and the other was striking down the other Chuunin in the group. He was aiming for the stomach and he hit it. Turning around to finish the job he noticed that his comrades were mostly dead. That was a problem indeed. He'd take the injured shinobi and he'd his Katana by his neck.

"Don't move or...or or I-I'll kill him."

[Matsu]

"No."

A simple statement uttered by the Jounin as his chakra once more roared to life. He would not allow harm to befall anyone on his mission, therefore with quick fingers having finished he would weave yet another Mokuton Ninjutsu. With the shifted of the rocks, the pavement would give way to more wood as a single beam raised it's self from the earth. With quick almost snake like movements it would wrap around the man's forearm, constricting him from doing anything that could harm Shouran with the knife hand.

"Try again."

Cooed Takun as another beam of wood would raise out of the ground and hold his ankles in place, twisting up his form until he was in a wooden prison up to his waist. A scowl spread on the Jounin's face as he spat on the ground, taking a few steps closer. He would remove and light another cigarette, inhaling deeply for a moment as he looked the punk over, this assuming that his wooden confinement was successful.

"A pretty cowardly move there. Pisses me off. I'm going to spare you, but only if you tell us where the big fights going down. Where is your boss?"

[··¤(`×[¤Kumiko Chan¤]×´)¤··]

The flaring chakra in her fist died out. The loser gave up selfishly waving a white flag. She was discusted by his dishonor to his comrades, but he had what they needed. Kumiko spit on the ground, rather un-lady like. She scratched her head, giving a slightly twisted face.

Takun had a rapid reaction to the other man whom was quickly diabled by the serious Jounin. She had no idea what Shouran of Gosuke were thinking. Kumi fixed her kimono, and tightened her gloves. It was over before a leaf could fall to the ground.

"A pretty cowardly move there. Pisses me off. I'm going to spare you, but only if you tell us where the big fights going down. Where is your boss?" Takun questioned the other captured man.

"Takun," The young lady asked with a rather upity beat, "Weve got a talker over here." She smiled, not taking her eyes off the man in the fissure. "Spill the details." Then she waited for him to reply, arms crossed, foot tapping.

Uncertainy was upon her. The Hanakora was probabley the youngest of the group, and definetly the most inexperienced.
Not to say she was going to give up! She never gives up.

[Matsu]

"I've had enough of this."

His chakra would flair as he used the wooden beams around the mans waist to create a push. Unfortunately for him he would not be able to move and thus would be bent so far backwards that his back gave out and he would lay upon the ground dieing slowly. As for the Kunai in his hand, the beam holding his arm would move it aside slowly, pushing it away from Shourans neck. Scowling, the massive Hoshigake would step forward and collect his bleeding teammate and turn to Kumiko and Gosuke. It seemed due to an early wound this is where they would withdraw, a mission failed.

"We're pulling out. Somethings wrong, notice all of the birds flying in this direction?"

He'd ask as the flapping and chirping of several panicked animals could be heard. Slinging Shouran onto his shoulders in a firemans carry, he would remove a Kunai from his own pouch. With a flick of his wrist it would kill the man that Kumiko had captured, leaving no one alive to bare witness to what had happened here. Turning on heel he would give the final order, he had to find out what was going on. "We'll pull back to the village and find out for ourselves what is going on." he said slowly in a rough, growling tone.

"For your first high ranking mission though, I do believe you would have and have done well, Kumiko."

He offered slowly as he nodded towards her and gave her a thumbs up. Without another word he was off, moving like a blur from building to building until he was outside of the village, into the trees and from there his pace would quicken as he moved through them as if he were running on land. Something was happening and he had to find out what before it was too late. Hotaru had been missing for way too long for his comfort, he could only assume that something had kept her.

_____exit!

[··¤(`×[¤Kumiko Chan¤]×´)¤··]

Kumiko gave a smile to the jounin, a thank you. Unforunatley the wound was to hefty for her care. Takun killed the men with a seconds notice. As the shinobi fled to the village, she began to add things up.

First, the birds. What an absract thing... Hotaru's absence has begun to spead panic. A feeling was swelling in her gut, and the flower child disliked it. The she noticed the vibrant tones of Kusa being... Monotone. She ghasped. HEr hand came to teh fresh flowers pinned in her hair. THey were shriveled, life sucked out of them. Shock was her written expression.
