.:The Easy Way:.

[pandoru]

Occasionally in the Capital, it is necessary to get in touch with the country's resident shinobi. For this reason, one or two ninja from Iwagakure usually are found in an area easy enough to locate. If by chance such shinobi are not present, messenger birds certainly are. A request for their presence is all that is needed before the fowl will take flight, off among the clouds to notify the ninja that they are wanted. All that one really has to do, is wait.


{Should foreign shinobi want access to the village for whatever reason, it would be best to use this method. If you really want to find it yourself, you can... but the chances of you being hurt with this method are much slimmer ;) }

[keruliion]

Kira was notified of this area and he went to take a look. It was an area where he was to meet with some stone nin though he would not know them and it would not be formal, he was told that this be his best place if he wished to have contact with stone nin, He stood outside this area not wanting to interrupt any stone nin nor be rude, so he would wait for them to see him or leave he was hoping that he would be greeted politely and his past as a leaf nin not used against him.

[Hakuturi]

The council gave them a relatively simple mission, go to the Earth Capital and find a shinobi who wished to speak with village representatives. A quick 1500 Ryo for such a job? The jounin didn't even need to think twice about it. The capital was a relatively short distance from the centre of the village, and this journey would be far less troublesome than the last the two Earth shinobi had been on. The boy smiled and turned towards Arashi before speaking whilst walking through the capital to find this shinobi. "Apologies for not allowing you any time to rest, I'm sure you wanted a little bit of down time after all that travel."

His face turned forward as the shinobi ahead was spotted. Nole nodded towards Arashi and walked forward, there was no imminent danger in this situation, at least in his mind. The shinobi wore no headband, giving the two Stone shinobi no reference to his previous home, or if he was even a shinobi at all. Well, it would all be cleared up soon enough.

"Oi stranger, we were sent to speak with you, state your name and business being here," he spoke softly and would leave a pause just in case Arashi wished to say anything. He hoped that this wouldn't take too long, he had a trip to the Sound to prepare for, after all.

[keruliion]

Okayaki turned and looked at the ninja that had just spoken to him in a rude manner. Looking at him for a moment he pondered Either he cant sum up a persons power very well or he is stronger than me...seeing as i know nothing of him i will assume the latter Okayaki then took a few cautious steps towards him. "I have two names i shall state both. Though i wish to be referred to as one and one alone if that is at all possible" He paused for a moment looking at his opponents apprentice or so he would assume. A girl of years no older than 15. He has but a mere child with him? yet he himself is so young He then continued his speech "My first name, my birth name is Kira. My birth parents dieing when i was born meant i was adopted by an old couple who gave me the second name of Ekundu Jicho. But my new name is Tsumibito Okayaki" He smiled at the person for a moment. "I am a former leaf nin. I know very well what the situation with stone and Konoha is and i have leaft for my own reason. The reason being Konoha has become stagnant and has resorted to the theft of another lands artifacts. There Kage is but a mere child" Okayaki paused again trying to get something about these ninja that would give there strengths away. Noticing a bow he would assume that the elder of these two dabbled in the arts of taijutsu and his build supported this fact. Making the assumption that he also specialized in ninjutsu though he could be wrong as the bow was a long ranged impliment as well as ninjutsu. These people where perplexing to Okayaki indeed. "I wish to join your village. I could be a great asset to you village especially against those that would take the cowardice of genjutsu". Okayaki made his comment clearly heard by the young girl for if he could make her react in no small manner he would know if she dabbled in the art of genjutsu. "Shall we say...my blood lends itself to the countering of Genjutsu well. Far better than most"

[Arashi Zetsumei]

Rest? Was that really even in Arashi's vocabulary? Probably not. "That's alright sensei, I've got plenty of energy!"

This was a simple mission, to say the least. Yet it was a mission which could easily turn on it's heels and escalate in difficulty. They were to meet with a stranger in the capital. Said capital Arashi hadn't visited in a long while, as a result of the incident that took place when she was younger. The trip here was much shorter than the long journey of a mission they went on prior. Arashi's eyes were glancing back and forth as they travelled. The path seemed rather barren, very quiet. She looked to Nole from time to time, wondering if he noticed. Looking ahead herself, the distance would reveal a lone male.

They were sent to the meeting spot, to speak with this stranger. From what she could see up ahead, he didn't emanate any hostile threat just yet. Once they were within a comfortable speaking distance, Nole had addressed the stranger. Arashi noticed Nole's slight pause but couldn't really think of much to say except to look into the eyes of this stranger and to try and observe any details. Once there eyes met, she could just feel as if the male was looking down on her.

"Hmph, he probably thinks that I'm just a weak kid...I hate being underestimated but as a heroine, I can't do anything reckless." With that her eyes veered to the right and took a look around the meeting spot. There was plenty that this stranger wished to inform them. First was in regards to his name, he'd wished to be called by the latter name so he was now Okayaki. When he mentioned that he was a former leaf ninja, Arashi couldn't help but tense slightly. This would be noted to Okayaki as her arms which were resting casually by her side in her pockets; seemed to bend slightly. Then she removed her hands from her pockets, said hands balled into a fist and her expression was deathly serious.

Yet Okayaki provided some interesting details about the leaf and there leader. "So Konoha is as bad as they say, how could they use stolen artifacts?" Arashi questioned in her mind. Her right eyebrow raising slightly in curiosity. He of course continued with his speech, getting it out there that he wished to join Stone. That was a noble act of this leaf ninja, well former leaf. Yet no sooner did he mention something which would upset Arashi very much.

"Those that use genjutsu aren't cowards! We're talented artists and I actually feel sorry for one who's blood doesn't allow them to realize such beautiful work!"

She then turned to Nole, there was something she obviously need to get into the open.

"Can we really take a former leaf shinobi's word, I already don't trust him just because he's from the treacherous leaf."

She then released the balled motion of her hands, instead performing some seals momentarily before concentrating chakra to her hand. If he decided to do anything suspcicious she would be ready to attack him. "We'll see just how well your body rejects genjutsu..." Arashi thought to herself, her attack already prepared.

Magen: Hana Arashi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Flower Storm Technique)
Rank: “C” Rank
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Sends an illusionary swirl of flower petals around the opponent, which acts as a hypnotism to slow down the speed at which the brain interprets the signal that the eyes send to the brain.
Special: “Hand Signs”- Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Ram, Tiger
Drawback: The Genjutsu only works as long as the opponent can see the flower petals themselves. If the opponent can view the area through another object (glasses, etc), then the Genjutsu does not work.
Description: The user performs the handseals, releasing a flow of chakra at the opponent. From that point, a giant swirl of flowers, normally cherry blossoms, will move rapidly in a circular formation around the user. This hypnotizes the mind into lowering the speed at which the brain processes the signals received from the eyes. Because of this, everything seems to move incredibly fast to the opponent, except for the cherry blossoms which stay at the same speed.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception

[Hakuturi]

Nole simply stood any listened to the now pronouced former leaf shinobi. The other spoke with an air of confidence around him that was a bit unsettling, perhaps it was just because he was from the Leaf that made the visitor ornery. The request to join the village brought a more serious connotation to the jounin's features. It wasn't a common for the Stone to accept missing nin, especially from the Leaf village. However, if this shinobi could reveal secrets about their enemies he could be more than an asset to them.

After a while he noticed that Okayaki began to move his eyes to observe he and Arashi, perhaps getting a scope of what they were capable of. His next comment was the prodding type, annoying and expected from one of such an annoying village. He spoke of genjutsu being a cowardly method of attacking and that his blood was perfect in defending against it. 'Hn...he could be...one of them,' the comment sent off a sparkplug in Arashi it seemed, her demeanor now angry as she sent off a cry of the genius of genjutsu. This would certainly be interesting, and would provide the answer to what Nole was thinking if Arashi's genjutsu were to fail. Common sense told him to stop her, but curiosity told him otherwise.

His own facial expression remained the same as he looked on at the battle that potentially would unfold. "Can we trust him? Maybe not, but he could provide information that would prove great for our village, and if he lies...Simple, he is killed, nothing more to it. I'd say that's incentive enough for him to tell the truth."

[keruliion]

Kira smirked for a moment as the genjutsu appeared before his eyes. His smile giving away much to do with his elation about the coming situation. He focused for a second and then as the genjutsu gripped him he smiled. Opening his mouth for a moment. "I forgot to inform you of a name that should be burned deep into your memory" He then outstretched his hand gripping the very fabric of the genjutsu that was cast upon him observing the excellent chakra control with his now blood soaked eyes and he looked for a moment as a stage three sharingan would become evident. tearing this genjutsu like it was but a simple scrap of parchment. He then Shunshined in front of his opponent. He gently pressed her forehead for a moment. "Your chakra control is excellent for some one of your age. At a guess i would say that genjutsu is your favored among the ninja arts. You are well versed in it i can see that just from your chakra flow but you must learn the flaws of your art for others to truly appreciate it. These eyes of mine make me a powerful person when used well. But at the same time a double edged sword" Taking a glance at his opponent he noticed an odd look his opponent was expecting this, or at least he showed some form of knowledge. "You sir must have knowledge of my clan i believe if your eyes tell me what i believe to be true" He smiled at the two and then took a pace back to make sure that they didn't feel uncomfortable. "I hide no secrets from you but i ask that you do not mention my clan specifically to any one other than those that all ready know and the Kage who will be informed if i am allowed to join your village" Kira then waited for a response from the pair.

[Arashi Zetsumei]

Nole's words were...reassuring somewhat. It was with these words that the chakra within her hand was unleashed. The flow of chakra being aimed directly for his forehead. Said chakra would soon warp and sway into tiny sakura petals. Petals that swirled in their free fall for but a moment. It seemed like the genjutsu worked, before he opened his eyes. Those eyes weren't normal. The evil red, the swirl of tomoe...was this person truly evil after all? His eyes looked like the eyes of a devil. She wasn't sure what he was thinking but then it seemed as if he was...unaffected? "No---"

Her thoughts were then interrupted by a poke to her forehead. For a moment she was frozen, not even blinking before he began to comment about her genjutsu. The way he spoke, it was as if his eyes had perceived everything about the jutsu and even herself. She would then blink when he began to speak about his eyes. She was simply at a loss of words at the moment, yet Nole seemed to already have a good idea about this stranger. Now that he was up close, she could tell her was much older than Nole and herself. The way he pressed her forehead, was that supposed to be "cool"? It only made her more embarassed and so her response simply came with her eyes averting from his gaze and to the left. She was blushing from the mishap.

Yet the trio didn't seem to be alone. From one of the buildings to her right, there was a small alleyway which was dark. There was no sound, simply silence as a kunai was launched directly at Arashi.

[Hakuturi]

'As expected...loluchiha' the simple release and cockiness of the leaf shinobi shined through as he moved forward to poke Arashi in the forehead. At the moment it was taking Nole quite a bit of will power not to just waste this guy on the spot, but it was his duty to negotiate and eventually bring him back to the village. Or so he assumed. The bow master simply shook his head as his eyes turned to Arashi, who now looked to be humbled by the Uchiha, her genjutsu failing immediately after being cast. "Heh, don't worry about that, sometimes you meet natual enemies. I guess this is one of those times for you, we all have our weaknesses," a smile came to his face but not for long, a glint of silver would catch his attention as a kunai came spiraling towards Arashi.

"What the hell?" Nole quickly pulled out his bow and deflected the kunai with it, not much skill needed for such a feat. It was quite odd that they would be attacked here in their own capital. For the moment the leaf shinobi was ignored as he focused his attention on the alley the kunai came from. "Come out, there's no use hiding when you've made your presence so obvious." the range finder was turned on to detect any potential threat long distance, it seemed nothing came easy these days for the Stone shinobi.

[keruliion]

Kira looked at the stone shinobi deflecting the Kunai. Shit...they couldnt have come for me could they? Kira put his hand in his pouch and pulled out a Kunai he looked for a moment. "You a bowman is there any way you can see them?" Kira asked as he took a pace foreword waiting for the person to strike again. I swear to god i find the man who would pick on children he will be eating his own corpse in hell Kira looked around trying to find out who was throwing a Kunai when he heard the whistling of another at the male stone nins head. He didnt know why he reacted nor did he fully comprehend his reaction until pain shot above his arm. But he sidestepped and put his hand out to get the Kunai. It was obvious the person they where up against was no amateur . He wasn't sure what he should do. Or if it was a team. He could catch something in the corner of his eye but he wasn't sure what when it nearly hit Arashi. Again his body would act before he could fully comprehend what it was and why he would do it but he moved this time barging the young girl out the way as a needle would embed itself into his shoulder. "Damn Cowards!" He would yell as he removed the two offending articles. "Picking on children. When i find you death will be a release!" He said as he tried to find the two offenders yet he couldn't see them they where not in range of his sight. They moved quickly from view each time they threw a weapon. "damn it" He looked at the elder stone shinobi "Your supposed to be strong you do something, or do children still get scared?" He said half concerned for the boys safety and half jokingly because he knew his concern was not needed. He then moved infront of the girl. Turned to her with his blood red eyes and smiled "If any one wants to get you, Its me they gotta get through first" He pulled out mugen the sword drawn making sure that he was aware of all his surroundings.

[Arashi Zetsumei]

The only thing Arashi heard was the reflected Kunai against the bow. Everything was beginning to speed up now. It seemed those special eyes of Okayaki weren't able to see everything or perhaps it was just not within his range. At least they were better than hers; combined with his speed he quickly barged in and protected her. Yes, he protected Arashi and that was starting to make her feel strange. At the same time, she was actually beginning to feel fear now as well. Fear that the same person who came after Hikumi had now come for her. "W-what should I do...is there anything I can do...?"

Her thoughts were placed on hold when the former leaf nin spoke up and withdrew his sword. There wasn't any time for Arashi to cower out. She'd met deadly criminals in a heart beat on her mission and she wasn't afraid then. So why was she so afraid now, she was stronger than she was before...well there wasn't much time to waste. No sooner would a volley of kunai come from the top of the building to the left of the dark alleyway. Similarly, a body seemed to descend from that rooftop and came straight towards the trio. Yet that body was in fact already dead. It's flesh brutally ripped apart, of special notice would be the hole in the chest area where the heart would be.

Reacting quickly to the oncoming threats, Arashi did several handseals before launching her counter measures.

Hydrou Bunshin no Jutsu
Rank: "D"
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: The user performs the needed handsigns and then creates what seems to be an ordinary clone. The clone can not attack and will disappear the second it comes into contact with an opponent, however, when the clone is destroyed two more clones come in the place of the destroyed clone, this can continue infinitely if the clones are continuously destroyed, its purpose to overwhelm the opponent in numbers and cause an effect of invincibility although the clones can do no damage. A simple "Kai" technique can easily get rid of all of the clones when used by a skilled genjutsu user.
Special: Boar, Rat, Dragon, Tiger
Drawback: No drawbacks to the user
Description: The hydra clone technique looks like a normal bunshin no jutsu, however this is changed as the clone is destroyed and more take it's place, making the technique look like a high level kage bunshin no jutsu when in reality the clones are simple clones that can do no damage.
Limit: Must know Figment Perception

Five clones were created and a smoke bomb was removed. "Sensei...Okayaki-san, t-that person hiding. He's very skilled at shuriken and kunai techniques. T-they might be poisoned!" Her voice was crackling a bit despite thinking of a counter measure. If the assailant was really the same person as the one from her past...she could die. Right here, before even having the chance to avenge Hikumi.

[keruliion]

[Nole im skipping you because you have taken a few days to post]

Kira smiled for a moment and then opened his mouth muttering to arashi "If they where poisoned I'd be dead by no" Kira then took a glance at nole who seemed to be out of action. "Get to your jounin or chuunin or what ever this boy is within your village!" Kira yelled deflecting a couple of shuriken with his sword. Catching one behind arashi's head while spinning around looking at her in the eye. Kire then pass mugen onto arashi. "Use this, if some one attacks your the pointy end goes into them and nine times out of ten they run away" Kira said with a smile on his face as he drew out his hoverboard and took a quick check at the Kunai Launcher. "Damn Empty" he then thought for a moment at arashi's face he he looked at her and he then said something to her, something very out of character for the usual calm cold blooded uchiha. "I'm not gonna let you or that boy die, If one of you die ill smash my way into hell and drag your souls back out if i have to!" He said raising his voice as he turned a Kunai was practicaly hitting his forhead as he grabbed it. "Enough Games" He said as he jumped onto his hover board.

The hoverboard launched into the air about the same height as these smaller buildings and he had his sharingan active. "Ill show you what happens when a villain has to be the hero" Kira muttered as he formed a few handseals. A small torrent of flame appeared between his palms as these two flames slowly became symbols on his hand. He then looked for a moment waiting for his opponents to reveal there presence, him floating in the air his eyes focused on nothing but killing.

[Arashi Zetsumei]

There was kunai being shot everywhere, the whizzing sound made along with the flurry of senbon was enough to invoke paranoia on anyone. Well, anyone who was a genin anyway. Several of these struck at the clones but each time they actually got close to Arashi herself she was protected by Okayaki. When he commented about the poison, she couldn't help but shake her head. "No...the kunai and senbon...they're poisoned for sure. That's how he fights..."
Yet just as she spoke the boy swirled around and grabbed another kunai that was heading her way. It was clear who this ambush was targeting and before she knew it, Okayaki had given her his sword.

She blushed somewhat at his explanation for the use of the sword. "R-really, is he trying to be cool...?" Arashi thought but her blush was contradicting the stoic expression of her mental state. Then just as quickly as he was there, he was off...on an unknown weapon. Well unknown to Arashi but the fact that it could fly was impressive enough. Still things were being set in motion as Arashi held onto the hilt, she attempted to get into a defensive position. Not being disciplined in any of the fighting styles didn't bode so well at the moment. In her left hand was the sword, in her right was the smoke bomb she'd removed from her pouch earlier. Quickly looking over to Nole, she nodded for a moment before running off in the opposite direction. The smoke grenade would be used to veil her movement and if Nole was to move in the opposite direction, his as well.

The only thing that would remain was the group of clones, which now became ten and Nole depending on his actions. Arashi herself had taken for another alleyway; this would allow her to regroup and think of what to do. She had to recall the details of yesteryear otherwise the situation could end up really bad. Resting down the unknown Katana Mugen, she began to perform several seals. The best way to get through all of this was to take herself out of this equation momentarily.

Invisibility
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
Description: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If the user casts the jutsu on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless those are capable of seeing through GenJutsus. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible. Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamor Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Limited Invisibility

With that Arashi was now invisible and no sooner would Mugen be as well. Pressed against the walls of that dark alleyway in Iwa's capital she began to move around carefully. She didn't want to make any loud or sudden noises as she snuck around. More importantly, if she was to sneak up on their assailants it would allow for a quick surprise attack. Yet to her surprise that opportunity would be just around the corner.

Now then, regarding the assailants side:

Assailant 1

Originally in the dark alleyway, he'd taken to the rooftops upon launching the volley of kunai. The body heading towards them, particularly to Nole was served to test how quick the group would react. Now he was moving about, preparing his next attack. A light bomb was withdrawn when he noticed one of them on the hoverboard. "This one looks like trouble." Yet when he took the brief moment to look to the man's eyes, that was when the situation became dire. "Sharingan...in the Land of Earth?" No sooner did he use his communications device to notify the four other men in hiding. "Team, there's a situation. A member of the Iwa group has Sharingan on them."

With that in mind, he'd hurl the light bomb in Okayaki's direction before throwing two poisoned tipped kunai. The light bomb would provide a quick distraction especially considering their target was using a doujutsu. To end off his little plan, he'd perform the basic henge technique:

Henge No Jutsu
Rank: E Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows the user to transform into an animal or human of size or few feet larger.
Special: Dog, Boar, Reverse Ram
Drawback: You can never gain the attributes of what you turn into. You are only capable of transforming into a human or animal that is of size, or few inches smaller. If hit once the user immediatly reverts back to their original state.
Description: When using the seals of the Dog, Boar, and Reverse Ram the user quickly transforms into any human or animal that is of size or a few inches smaller, or even a few feet larger. The user at this stage is only capable of holding the form for four turns at a time.
Limit: ---

Who better to transform into than the young girl, there was a good chance he might not attack instantly if he saw her. And so he'd shift down to a smaller building, forcing Okayaki to give chase.

Assailant 2

Having been hiding in the shadows on the opposite side of his teammate, he'd been the one to originally attack Okayaki with the senbon and kunai. He'd attempted to take out the girl's clones but they seemed to come back with double the numbers, yet they weren't attacking. Instead of going through the process of analyzing the jutsu, he'd instead focus his attentions on what he believed was either an Iwa chuunin or jounin. He'd observed the young man use his bow to reflect an earlier kunai from his teammate. Long range combat would be no good in this situation. It was best to get in for close range--- yet just as he was intending to make his appearance, a smoke grenade went off. Keeping a bit of distance he would wait perform some hand seals before placing his hand to his mouth to act as a funnel.

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is can not be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fieiry explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing even more devastating damage.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Inhaling a large amount of air into his lungs, he'd soon exhale; unleashing a powerful fireball into the smoke clouds. It didn't matter if the clones were struck again so long as he could attack the male iwa nin. If the group could not eliminate the targets, they would simply retreat. Their mission had long since been completed. This was simply a matter of covering their tracks.

[Hakuturi]

The jounin of Iwa watched as the two assailants attacked he and the other two, his patience quickly wearing thin here. He didn't come here for this and intended to end this quickly.

"You people..." a look of discontent came across his face as he quickly dodged the several kunai coming his way, jumping several metres back as Arashi's smoke bomb was layed, several handsigns being created as the smoke bomb from assailant number two came. The fireball that came through the smoke was detected by the range finder he wore and he smoothly would use the after image technique to move to his own left several meters, when he planted his feet he would be facing the direction of the assailants, two arrows on the drawstring of his bow, the multi shot technique.

"Are pissing me off" when released the two arrows would fly high into the air over where the two opponents were standing, neither really moving at a fast speed which was perfect for this situation. When beginning their descent the arrows would suddenly split into forty each, the intent of the handsigns performed previously being revealed here as arrows rained down, more specifically, arrows of explosion. If any of the eighty now raining arrows so much as touched or even came within several feet of their attackers, they would die, simple as that.

Multi-Shot
Rank: B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Through intense concentration, training, and in-combat use, the user learns how to fire two arrows at once.
Special: Dedicated Training
Drawback: There is difficulty in firing two arrows at once, and as such accuracy nor penetrating ability may not be up to par.
Description: The user fires two arrows at once. This ability can be re-learned up to four times, allowing, at maximum, five arrows shot at once.
Limit: Bowman Special

Arrow of Explosion (Arô no Sakuretsu)
Rank: "A" Rank
Type: Secondary 1 Arrow per Slot, best to be used with a Holster.
Effect: This is supposed to be considered lethal type of weapon, and it is supposed to be considered extremely dangerous in the hands that knows how to use this type of Arrow. An arrow that covers a large like part, in the size of two to three meters destroying what is within its way by a large explosion. These types of arrows are considered to be enemies towards construction creations such as buildings and puppets. It has an exploding capacity of that of an exploding tag.
Special: ---
Drawback: This type of arrow can not be retrieved after usage. This arrow is a one shot arrow. If the arrow is used then there is no way that the arrow may be used again.
Description: The way this arrow works is by the moment it hits a surface, any type of surface whether it may be a person, place, or thing a seal in which is used to create the arrow sparks up unleashing a great massive explosion destroying what is in its path of a distance of three meters in diameter with a thickness of one meter. The Explosion that is produced burns and destroys what the arrow touches. The explosion is never in a perfect sphere and is always sent off within a random form in one shape or form when it is exploded outwards. The way one creates the arrow is something like that of an exploding tag, except that the tag is laged within the tip of the arrow head. The only way that the arrow is used is when the tip of the arrow is struck. As the tip is struck the arrow a light shines moments before the explosion occurs. The brimstone like fore exerts out as the devastating force of an exploding tag follows along in on fell swoop. The arrow is capable of destroying a whole body when it is struck against the chest. If the upper part of the body say an arm, then the upper body becomes leveled. Same goes with a piece of the lower half of the body.
Limit: Can be used by only a Bowman.
Cost: 300 Ryo Per Arrow

Ameya no Jutsu (Arrow Rain Technique)
Rank: "C"-"S"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A rain of falling arrows.
Special: Dragon, Horse, Rat, Horse, Dragon, Dog seals in that order,
Drawback: Requires a heavy usage of chakra.
Description: The user gathers chakra while knocking an arrow. The bow is drawn and fired into the air above the intended target. After about five seconds of flying in the air, the arrow will begin a descent down onto Earth. There, chakra is released from the arrow, basically creating Kage Bunshins (Shadow Replications) of the arrows. The amount of arrows that fall down is equivilant to the rank.

Okayaki could here the whistling of the arrows and obviously his temporary comrade seemed to be oblivious and have not a care in the world for one his elders safety nor for the safety of some one doing his duty for him. So Okayaki smirked and thought he would deal with the light bomb and the arrows at the same time with a relatively simple fire jutsu. He smirked at the pathetic attempt to dispatch him from these rogue ninja and then he formed the handseals quickly as the arrows moved ever closer towards him. "Katon-Kyuuka!" He yelled as fire erupted from within his own body and there was a sphere of it heading five meters outward. Anything arrows light bombs people that would be caught in this burst would be ignited or pushed away usually both. Okayaki then looked for a moment at the men who attacked the girl. "You" He lowered his head "Have...pissed....me....off!" He sped towards his opponent.

With Katon-Ningenteki Houka Bakudan active he grabbed his opponents face flinging him into the sky. Making sure that any arrows that where to come his way he would dodge. Then forming three distinct handseals he yelled to his opponent. "Ever danced with the devil in hell?" As he did this his loungs filled with air and chakra he breathed it into the sky watching as the flame enveloped his opponent and smacked them further into the sky. He then jumped off his hoverboard for a moment. Using the knoweldge of Hi-Awaii Kobushi he punched to his opponent who was no more than half a meter away. He smashed a large piller of fire from his fist into his opponent. With the momentum he also used a kick and finished with another punch. Still in the air he grabbed his opponent by the head once more and threw him towards the ground. "This is what you get for picking on children" This mans body was aimed at the other man watching as he muttered ad formed a hand sign one of the men would explode his head and body nothing but charred flesh and blood. His companion deceased due to the full force of the explosion.

Okayaki would then drop from the air he would fall quickly to the wall of a building and using his sticky chakra he ran down the building for a moment then he jumped to another building. He finished by landing in front of the iwa jounin. Slightly hunching to look the boy in the eyes. He held out his hand as the hoverboard plumited towards it, his hand going through one of the straps used to hold feet in place. "If you going to launch a hail of arrows at some one boy, make sure that some one doing your job isnt in the hail of arrows. I told you i was a leaf nin because i wished to be honest with you not so that you could use it against me. The way i see it" Kira paused for a moment and formed two more handseals as he could see a man using the invisibility genjutsu behind nole. He pushed the young boy aside and held his out stretched hand at the man. Suddenly a torrent of flame would shoot forth in the shape of a sword as the fire would pierce the mans chest and he would fall to the ground. "You should protect her, teach her and make sure she dosent have to see sights like this. Not to mention your to young for such acts as well" Kira reached into his pouch and took out a golden lighter and a packet of cigarettes. Taking one and tapping it on the pack for a moment he looked at the pair of nin "Do you mind if i smoke or would you rather i didnt?" He asked in a kind tone. It was a general courtesy that he affords all he meets when smoking.

[Arashi Zetsumei]

With the assailants easily dispatched by the two mens efforts, the last of the attackers was just about to be taken care of.

It was around that corner, that man was there. She wasn't sure what compelled her to believe it was so. Perhaps it was just the 'aura' the shinobi eminated. Perhaps it was the familiar posture or the voice. It was menacing, confident and slightly arrogant as well. It seems he was receiving information regarding her allies fights. Yet he mentioned some unusual things. First; there was the gain of tremor stones. "Could they really have come all this way just for those?" She had to be careful now, keeping quiet in her hiding spot. Eavesdropping on the conversation at hand wasn't making much sense due to the context of the information. That is, until what the rouge mentioned something easy to comprehend for any resident of the Land of Earth.

"E-everyone in the capital is...dead? N-no...who did it?!" She strained to make sure she could get the remaining information. "So it wasn't them...yet they have the gall to laugh...Well, this ends now." Arashi was beginning to focus on a plan. Her killing intent was slowly rising and no sooner was she ready to leap out and strike when the figure vanished. Well actually it was the use of the Daichi no shunshin. Once again, the oppertunity to avenge Hikumi slipped through her fingers. Yet she had to attempt to supress her negative emotions for the moment. The most important thing was regrouping with her sensei and Okayaki.

It wouldn't take her long to round the corners and retrace her steps back to the others. Though she was only assuming they'd still be where she left them. Once she was near, she released her invisibility. Then she ran over to her sensei, he needed to know what she found out and fast. "N-nole sensei, there's no more left but...o-our capital..." This wasn't the time for tears, for frustration or anything of the sort. A shinobi had to relay information clearly and concisely. Yet at that moment, Arashi could hardly build the words she needed to say...She was holding the tears back but how could anyone not be sentimental?

She'd failed once to save her best friend and do her job as a Hero in the capital before. She didn't even want to come back since that day. Now she arrived and all those whom she met before, for better or for worse; were dead. She was still young, the looses of life, though her tears were pure, actually held a larger meaning for the country as a whole. It ultmately meant, Iwa as a military village had failed to protect the provincials. Even the Feudal Lord must have been dead. An investigation needed to be done, a committee brought it, and lots more. Ah but that's adult business, such thoughts would never cross Arashi's mind.

"T-they didn't do it...but everyone in this city...they're all...dead." Then she was silent, faint sniffling sounds could be heard. After returning from a long mission which saw the brutal demise of her fellow iwa nin, to face the harsh reality of life once more. Maybe that down time was needed. Either way, she soon began crying, not evening noticing that Okayaki had pulled out some cigarettes to smoke. It was more than just tears of sadness, tears of loss. It was tears of frustration, not being strong enough to protect anyone. Just in this mission alone, she was constantly protected. Heroines didn't get protected, they did the protecting. They saved lives and of course...they didn't cry.

[keruliion]

Kira's eyes sprung into action allowing Okayaki to see the boy start to collapse, he noticed a senbon in his leg and he grabbed him, stopping the young lads head from hitting the ground "Tsch the poison must have got him, do you want me to accompany you back to your village gate or where you feel comfortable with me being with while i carry him on my hoverboard. Before you say why am i not affected. I can tell from the way my body is taking the poison that it works on size and how much you have eaten, Im well fed at this moment your friend isnt. Its just a knockout drug nothing to serious he should be fine if we leave him to come to" Kira then took his hoverboard and started to focus chakra into the engine through his hand. Raising slightly he the put the boy onto the board he smiled at the girl and then he gave her the sheath to mugen. "Can you hold onto that for a while. This gourd is a bit heavy some times and coupled with the sword its a pian" He smiled as they would start to walk. "Did you see what happened in this capital? because I can smell the same stench as the beasts that where in the woods of Hi no Kuni" Kira seemed a little worried for the girl and then offered for her to sit on his hoverboard. "Its actually very comfortable and you might as well save your energy"

[Arashi Zetsumei]

It was but a fleeting moment; Nole was standing and he seemed to have taken in what was said by Arashi. Then his confident manner seemed to decay, his body slowly tilting forward and no sooner was he caught by Okayaki. Her eyes were drenched with tears that were streaming down her face. She didn't move as Okayaki began to explain the situation. "T-that senbon...did it come when we split up? H-he...covered for me, just like..." She turned to look to the older male now. He seemed to be taking caution as he prepared that strange weapon of his. No sooner did he hand her the sheathe for Mugen; she accepted it with her right hand and soon placed the blade away.

The sheath was kept to her back, running diagonal from her left shoulder to her right hip. Once it was secured in place she would accompany the leaf missing ninja. The most important thing right now was to get her sensei back to Iwa, quickly. Her head had hung low as they walked and no sooner did he comment about the state of the capital. "S-stench of...the beast? Y-you mean...monsters attacked this place?" She was still sniffiling a bit, her voice seemed crackled slightly. She looked to him establishing eye contact then, her tear filled purple irises seemed lost. A good examination would reveal a dead look within her eyes. It was as if she was possessed by something or perhaps entranced by death. Death that kept reoccuring around her because she lacked the strength to do something. She didn't have a firm resolve.

It was because of this the young girl accepted the missing ninja's offer. She should have been on high alert at the moment. Taking this man to the village...wasn't exactly a smart move in and of itself. No, she wouldn't be that silly though she'd take the responsibility for him. To vouch that this man did indeed have honest intentions. "I...can trust you, right Okayaki-san? Y-you won't betray Tsuchikage-sama...?" Not that anyone would honestly say yes to such a statement.

"I'll lead you...to my village b-but...you're not allowed to see it for yourself. I'll sit for now but soon I'll come off and prevent you from seeing anything."

[keruliion]

Kira stopped for a moment and moved the board around so that the girl was facing him. "Indeed you can trust me, But I have a question for you. Why are you dead behind your eyes. I have seen much in my life and the only way i can discern such a look is loosing some one close to you suddenly. I have seen far to much death in my life, the death of my foster father and mother the death of my foster siblings, the death of a kage, the death of a close friend. all have seen my eyes and i know how you would feel, if you feel that you need some one to talk to then you can all ways speak to me. Heh i may not be a close friend but some times it takes the perspective of another person. My path is bent to evil i know this and i will not change it for the current moment. You on the other hand still have time to choose your path. Remember choose it wisely" Kira said as he moved the two children along. He put his hand in his pouch and produced a packet of sweets. There where about six of them in total all six of a medium truffle size. He put the packet to his mouth and opened them up. Putting them down on the board he took one and ate it. "You can take some too if you like, there strawberry flavor" He nudged the white chocolate sweets towards his new companion, little pink squiggles on the top

[Exit to the land of earth]

[Arashi Zetsumei]

"Dead..." She whispered this, now facing the former leaf nin; she simply looked into his eyes once more. The sign of true experience, just by looking into his eyes, everything he mentioned was true. Being one who specialized in an art considered to only be trickery, she knew most of the tricks one could use to lie and likewise knew honesty when she saw it. At least, assuming the person she was speaking with wasn't a specialist in genjutsu themselves. At that point it would be a lot harder to use her methods to detect any truth. Yet before she could really begin to focus, he reached into his pocket for something. He soon revealed a packet of sweets. Her eyes slowly examined them, a flicker of life moving through those dead pools momentarily. As if sensing her desire he offered her some. She had a rather large sweet tooth and like a young child wouldn't question something like "If the food was poisoned". Instead she reached into the packet with her left hand, reaching for one of the sweets. White chocolate laced with strawberry, no way anyone could so something bad to perfection such as this. Upon moving the chocolate to her mouth to take a nibble, one taste made her perk up somewhat. Yet she could also taste the salty tears from her crying. With her right hand she tried to wipe away the tears with her palm.

"I'll...answer your question then, in a moment." Chocolate over sad stories, for sure!
