A village to have (open, hostage situation)

[slave]

Arriving in a small village by a wagon, Taka Ni and his handler Shikyo tried to get use to the new environment. For Taka, there was no adjustments. He was just a mindless tool, ready to be used. Shikyo, on the other hand, was much older and was glad that they arrived at night. Looking at the village, it was very small with a simple layout, one way in, one way out. There couldn't have been more then a hundred residents, mostlikely poor. Looking at it in the dark, Shikyo whispered to himself "This should be a place to start." Then he whispered in Taka's ear "Ni control, stay close to me." With that, Shikyo started to move around the village, looking at the defences and general layout. Taka, seemingly blank, followed close to Shikyo, lost in the trance that is his life.

After noting almost everything about the village, Shikyo turned to Taka to relay, in a hushed voice, a few basic things into his brain. "There are 74 normal residents, fifteen guards, two manning the gate. The church in the center of town has only one enterance, easily locked. Finishing fast, Shikyo found an inn with a perfect view of the gate's guards, and decided they would stay there till the time was right. Taka had followed and still seemed blank, almost lifeless, as they waited for the guards to close up the town and lower their guard.

[slave]

At around eleven thirty, the time was right. Shikyo was watching at the window and saw the guards lock up the village for the night. Quietly Shikyo said "Ni control, follow me" and started to head out side. At the usual rate, Taka followed Shikyo out, without emotion or glances in any direction. Gettiing outside, Shikyo looked at the guards position for a little bit of tactics. Noting the guard's post and lack of attention, Shikyo said to Taka, staying quiet so no one but Taka would hear, "Ni control, kill all the guards quietly, starting with the gaurds near the city gate, then come back to me." With the pause at the end of the words, Taka went into motion. Moving in the shadows to avoid detection, he took out a kunai, and made it behind the first two guards(by the gate) without being seen. In one quick motion, he slit the throat of the guard on the left and tossed the kunai at the one on the right, hitting him on the side of the neck, straight through the throat. Moving fast before the man made a louder sound, Taka moved over, grabbed the kunai and pushed it through the man's throat, close to the effect of his last kill. The guard fell dead as Taka noticed another guard moving towards him, unaware of what happened. Taka moved out into the shadows, ready to strike.

When the guard moved just past Taka, He struck the guard fast and hard. Kunai still in hand, he moved behind the guard, stabbing him three time, the third stab hitting the spine and stopping the man's heart. Twelve to go. Taking away from the time use to kill, Taka started a strategy to kill the other guards fast. He moved onto the roofs of the small homes, put away his kunai, and took out his odachi. Getting to the home closest to a guard, he jumped down, landing on the guards shoulders, and stabbed through the top of their heads and out just below the jaw. He killed the rest of the guards in that way, without any real struggles, then returned to Shikyo. Shikyo, seeing the job well done, started phase two by saying "Ni control, find and bring all villages to the church and lock them in. If they arm themselves, kill them." Moving on the order without flinching, Taka started rounding the villagers up. It was easy, most were asleep and didn't even know they were being moved. With the few that tried to resist, they were kill in a fast and efficient way. In all, 63 were locked in the church.

After they were all in the church, Shikyo got back with Taka and started the next phase, it being around two in the morning. Shikyo said to Taka Ni control, Find and bring me a ten foot rope, along with a board, around ten by seven feet. Again Taka was off, and returned first with the rope then when to find the board. After he had found the board and got back, Shikyo had made a noose. Taking the board from Taka, Shikyo wrote something on the board, then told Taka "Ni control, take the man you killed by stabbing in the back and hang his dead body on the outside of the main gate, then put this board above him with the words facing away from this village. Come back to me when you are done." Moving out, Taka did what he was ordered, without any time wasted. To the next person to walk by the village, they would see a hung dead body, and a sign the said-
"Hostages taken, send someone to negotiate."

[slave]

After getting back to Shikyo, Taka was still moving and acting as always, blank, void of all thought. Shikyo was in a better mood, just knowing this would lead to riches. Simple plan from here, wait for some to come and negotiate, and get some randsom money and move on. Unsure of when someone would come to the little village, Shikyo told Taka "Ni control, stay in shadows near the gate." With his orders given, Taka moved to a dark place near the gate, emotionless and still. Shikyo, trying to be ready for the negotiations, moved onto a place on the wall, easy to see the road in front of the gate, hard to be seen from outside the gate. There Shikyo waited the rest of the night for someone to come, the sunlight just starting over the horizon...

[slave]

The sun getting higher in the sky, Taka stayed in the shadows while Shikyo was starting to get annoyed that no one had come. Shikyo was sure that someone had to care about others lives, right? The heat getting to him, Shikyo said to Taka "Ni control, go and bring me an umbrella, then wait 10 meters nfrom the village gate." His new orders recieved, Taka moved from the shadows with good speed. After almost five minutes, he searched the richest looking home in the village and found the umbrella for his master. Returning with it, Taka gave it to Shikyo and moved thirty feet from the gate, and there he stood. Shikyo then moved to in front of the gate and made a half circle in the sand around the gate that was seven feet from the gate at it's fatherest distance. Then, before Shikyo got back to his place on the wall, he told Taka "Ni control, if anyone from outside the village goes past the line in the sand, attack them to kill." With a smile, Shikyo got back to his post, and hoped someone would try to be a hero.

[.:Ryo:.]

Ryo had been training out in the desert for sometime before, in the middle of the night, he decided to return back to his home in the Hidden Sand Village. "It was good training today..." He muttered to himself, getting closer to the gate when he noticed something was very wrong. There were no regular ANBU guards here and nobody was out and about like there usually was. A ninja could see through deception, and something was definitely wrong here. Ryo spotted two figures near the gates and quickly dropped his gourd while doing a fair number of handseals. Shackles sprouted upward from the ground and latched onto both of the men's ankles. "Who the hell are you guys?"

[slave]

Without any warning, both Taka and Shikyo were chained at the feet, and what appeared to be a ninja asked them who they were. Taka hadn't moved or flinched at the action, keeping a completely blank look an his face. Shikyo, on the other hand, was quite surprized. To answer the question, Shikyo said "My name is Shikyo, and you don't need to know the name of my counterpart here." Looking back to Taka, Shikyo hoped he could handle the intrusion. In a whisper that Taka himself would barely hear, Shikyo told Taka "Ni control, break your shackles and maintain the last order." Hearing it, Taka took out a kunai and hit the shackles a couple times to break them. During this, Shikyo would look first to the line in the sand, then the ninja. Breaking free, Taka would put the kunai back then stand in the same way he was, blank and void of thought. Shikyo would be the one to wait for a response.

[.:Ryo:.]

"Get the hell out of my village..." Ryo said, this time putting his hands into his sweatshirt and doing a few seals so that his enemies couldn't see him do them in case they were familiar with sand-type techniques. "Or I'll kill you... As far as I can tell, you are a threat to the Sand Village and I will protect my home with all that I have... So leave... Or I will kill you..." Ryo wouldn't give them much longer to evacuate. He suddenly slammed his hand onto the ground which would activate the seals he had done earlier. The sand swirled at Ryo's feet, a dragon coming out of the swirling vortex. There was no escape for these two.

(Not stopping or anything, just coming in to let you all know that a villager or two, whatever, rumors and stuff has created a mission to send some help in here. This will create some missions for Sand, and help with interaction.)

[N I R A S H I]

On his way to the Kage Tower, Nirashi continued to hear things about a hostage situation ongoing somewhere in the village. Hearing this he took initiative to locate the problem and possible help. The young shinobi ran through the village as fast as he could, a strong order coming across the air. As he surveyed the area he noted a dead body and sign. The body seemed to be one of a ninja from Sunagakure, his fellow man, so he now knew this battle or fight was personal.

Nirashi kept calm, becasue he knew a battle would ensue soon enough. He then noticed a Sand Ninja and two others before him, exhanging words and engaging in battle. Apparently, the Sand Genin, was a user of sand and seemed to have everything taken care of though, it seemed he was going to take care of the problem in the most brute ways possible. Nirashi didn't want any deaths, well...not yet. Learning the purpose of all of this would seem to be the smartest thing to find out at the moment.

So, he stayed behind not saying a mumbling word, just watching to see what would happen next.

[slave]

Seeing the sand move, mostlikely to kill them, Shikyo had to think fast, or die. In another hushed voice only for Taka to hear, Shikyo said "Ni control, run to the door into to church, if anyone gets within ten feet of you, kill all hostages." With an instant reaction, Taka ran hard to the church's door and looked back blankly, waiting for someone to get within ten feet. Shikyo turned to the ninja with a smile and said in response to his hostilities "The negotiations begin, if anyone gets within ten feet of my weapon, he kills the 63 people we have hostage, even if its me. To stop him you need a book in my pocession. I think 15,000 is how much those poooor souls in the church should be worth." Ending the sentance with an evil laugh, he knew he had the ninja on the ropes, and waited him to get the money.

[.:Ryo:.]

'Looks like I have help... Or another enemy. I'll consider him an ally for now though.' Ryo looked over his shoulder, noticing a slight shift in the shadows that indicated movement. When he looked back forward he saw one of his enemies charge off in the direction of where the hostages apparently were. He was just the servant of the bigger opponent, the one still wrapped in shackles. "Neither of you will get money or the satisfaction of a massacre. I don't want you to die, but you leave me no choice. I'd rather not have my own villagers die, but it may be a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Let's just see what happens..."

So far Ryo's enemy still had the shackles around his ankles, and if he didn't then Ryo was about to reestablish them. He did another set of handseals which reinforced the sand and held the last sign so that the shackles slowly pulled his enemy into the ground. "Get him," Ryo whispered as the giant lizard charged at him with the intent of smothering him until he was knocked out. Meanwhile, Ryo had run off, under cover of the night, and gotten near the village gates. He then knelt down and pushed his fingers into the ground, slowly descending beneath the ground. Then he walked to where the church was and found his opponent above the ground. He would make his move shortly...

Wow...this guy is no joke. Just plain brute. Does he understand people's lives are at risk. He's doing a little to much now, but all seems well. I'll watch this guy out here and keep an eye on whatever he plans on doing inside that church. I hope he doesn't get the hostages or himself killed at that. Nirashi sighed and sand from the ground began to rise into his palm.

Nirashi then took the sand in his palm and shifted it around and then clenched his hand tightly, moving chakra to the palm of his hand. The chakra circulated and was applied to the clump of sand. Once Nirashi opened his hand inside was a perfectly formed ball, which had and eye on the front. Using his control he lifted the sand and a thing, barely visible string was attached, the eye then floated its way inside the church. Nirashi then took his left hand and placed it over his left eye, activating the jutsu. He could now visualize what was going on inside the church, apparently the man wasn't joking about the hostages.

As Nirashi monitored the actions inside the church he also keep a keen eye on whoever was causing all of this. Hopefully, Ryo's dragon of sand would finish and take him out, if not, maybe Nirashi would have to take care of the guy himself.

Shikyo was unhappy that the ninja wasn't going to get the money, but knew he had the upper hand. At least till the sand lizard actually moved in his direction. Forgetting he had been shackled at the feet, Shikyo fell back scared he was going to die. Not really thinking, he tried to take out his research notes to spare his life, but the ninja was already gone. The lizard moved on Shikyo, smothering him easily, his flailing to no avail but dropping his notes to the side. He was quickly unconscience, his dreams put aside like they were nothing.

Outside of the church, Taka was watchful, in a blank, thoughtless way. The command was in his head, and he was prepared to end all the lives in the church. He was of no thought, a slave with no will. He was completely unprepared to be attacked from under ground. The ninja had moved underground, negating his sight to finish his command till he felt the grasp of someone that was within ten feet. Reacting fast he molded chakra into his hand, made a lightning bolt, and threw it as hard as he could at the church door. Hitting, it would break the lock and knock the door off it hinges and stand a chance of harming anyone in the church. Before he could get another one off he was too far in the ground, unable to move, just watch his objective not be done yet.

[.:Ryo:.]

((I haven't attacked your 'slave' character yet who's guarding the church doors... So I'm not sure what exactly happened there. I'll just keep going. PM me if anything is wrong please ^_^))

The giant lizard really only had one mission and, after that mission had been fulfilled, it stood aside from its prey and put its head down next to it. It was just a beast made out of sand, but it wasn't exactly stupid. It knew when somebody was dead and when they were just knocked out, and this fellow hadn't been killed. He had fiddled with something before getting knocked out, but the lizard would just safeguard over that until Ryo had returned. It was good that he hadn't put up much of a fight and also pretty good that he hadn't been killed. Ryo wanted to spare lives, not destroy them. The beast would just watch over the body for now.

"NOW!" Ryo yelled as he burst out of the ground with a kunai in his hand, his foot flying through the air to try and make contact with the boy's jaw. Ryo actually felt bad for this kid because it seemed like he was a slave, a peon at his master's will. That was no way to live a life. It was one thing to be evil, it was another to be controlled. If Ryo successfully landed the kick then he would pin the boy to the ground and keep the kunai at his throat. If he tried to make any sudden movements then Ryo would dig the blade into the boy's shoulder and keep it there. That wouldn't kill him, but if the blade dug far enough in then he would lose enough blood and die within an hour or two.

[N I R A S H I]

OOC: You used Doton - Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique) which is an attack and not a jutsu like Doton - Dochuu Eigyo (Underground Fish Projection) which allows you to move through earth and stay down. So you did...kinda attack. No big deal I don't think, well not for Nirashi. xD

---

Nirashi stood and watched the seen inside with his Third Eye still activated. He was being extremely cautious, becasue who knows, anything could always happen, and it was his job to be aware. However, whoever the guy fighting was apparently, had the situation under control. Nirashi still had a bad feeling about it all though, fearing Ryo was too wild and rash at the moment, but he could always be wrong or misjudging the kid's actions. Only time would tell...

[slave]

[OOC: I wasn't sure how it was going down with the technique you used, but we'll go with how you posted after me. Taka is just guarding the curch at the start of this post.]

Hearing something, Taka didn't have time to react to something that came straight out of the ground. The hit was square on the jaw, stunned by the attack and brought to the ground. Within seconds the ninja had him pinned down, kunai at his throat. Recognizing that someone was within ten feet feet of him, the next part of his command kicked in, he would try to kill the hostages. Staring blankly into the ninja's eyes, Taka would try to drag himself towards the church door. His hand dug into the ground, and the ninja's kunai would move into Taka shoulder, and he wouldn't flinch from the pain, just because he wasn't told to feel pain. In the weak struggle, Taka's blank eyes would try to keep eye contact. It would mean nothing for Taka, but it could show a glimse of his world to the ninja, or what little Taka had.

[.:Ryo:.]

Now... This was a very bad sight for any shinobi to see, even one as selfish as Ryo. He had forced himself to bring his kunai into the enemy's shoulder when this punk tried to bring himself closer to the hostages. The kid felt no pain, however. He just started crawling, never attempting to break eye contact with Ryo. Ryo's eyes were red and filled with anger and wrath, but this kid's eyes were filled with... nothing. It was as if he had nothing to live for at all. Ryo wanted to help him, not kill him at this point. He sighed and did a few handseals, summoning a rope of sand. He would use the hardened sand to tie the boy up. Once (or 'if') successfully tied, Ryo would drag him back to the village gate where the other fellow Sand ninja was. This was almost over...

Suna Nawa no Jutsu (Sand Rope)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user uses their chakra and sand that quickly shoots upwards in all directions heading towards their opponent. When the user does this the user quickly creates a large rope of sand that entangles and wraps around the opponent. This technique is used mostly as a capturing technique in which may turn into a more destructive technique.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: A TaiJutsu Master can easily break through the rope, while others takes time to struggle through.
Description: A thin like rope made out of sand formulates around as it is quickly launched towards the opponent. This technique is used to capture the opponent in any way and the rope is used usually to wrap around the opponent's legs as a low style attack that gradually spreads to a more upper attack.

Nirashi wanted to stay outside of the church just in case something, extremely horrible was going to happen such as an explosion, however, the hostages were still inside, would now be the time for him to rush and take them all out of the building. To do so he would have to be quick and precise with his movements, was it possible. He doubted it, but it didn't seem like it would get to that point, especially with Ryo seemingly having everything under control.

Nirashi reached in his pocket for his D-Ranked Scroll with his right hand. He dropped the scroll and spread it out, quickly. He quickly slammed his right hand in the center of the circle and applied chakra to the scroll. "Summoning Jutsu!" He exclaimed loudly. A cloud of smoke materialized and surfacing, a snake, Yanguhebi! The snake stood tall, taller than Nirashi himself, and stared him in the eyes.

"What now?" Yanguhebi asked. Nirashi replied, lifting his body his left hand still over his eye. "Look, I'm in a hostage situation. Inside that church is a hord of hostages, their lives in danger. Currently myself and this other ninja are the only ones here. I need you to go in there and keep watch. Protect the hostages at all costs okay! That's your mission."

Yanguhebi understood his summoner, understanding Nirashi wasn't playing or joking at the moment. He then dug underground and came up above inside the church in front of the hostages. He took note of his surroundings and saw that Nirashi was using his Third Eyee jutsu, watching the events. He was prepared to battle and protect.

OOC:
Quick Question. Are the hostages tied up or chained, or are they just freely moving but scared?

[slave]

[OOC: freely moving but scared]

Trying to complete his goal, Taka dragged himself just a little closer to the door. His work was to no avail, not even making it a foot before the ninja had him tied up. Taka tried to wiggle in the ropes towards the door, his task still on the other side of the door. Only with a few seconds of moving towards the door, the ninja started to drag him away. His mind focused on only his forced task, staring at the door to the church while he was moved. If he would be put down, Taka would continue to his objective, even if he had to wiggle to the door, tied up. His thoughts didn't even go to the destination he was being dragged, it was ready but unable to do its job.

[.:Ryo:.]

"You're really a pain in my ass kid..." Ryo muttered as he slowly got closer to the village gate, dragging the enemy slowly with him. He finally gave up, halfway between the gate and the church. He sighed and sunk the kunai into the kid's ankle so that more blood was drawn and he wouldn't be able to do much running or walking. Ryo picked the kid up and threw him over his shoulder before whistling deeply to his lizard. The dragon mentally connected with Ryo, picking up the passed out kid and getting him onto the lizard's back. Ryo hadn't seen the other boy and only hoped that he was going to free the hostages. With that, Ryo began to walk to the Kazekage Tower...
