Getting back into shape {Mario, Private}

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Asuma said:

"By the way, do you remember the alternate route back to the village?" Just as they'd arrive outside the base, he'd turn to ask the Uchiha this newfound question.

[Mario Uchiha]

Mario would nod his head before responding to the question." nope i really dont remember how to get any were but one place within the water country, and that is my uncles house " he would say continuing to follow behind Asuma. this was just the workout he would need for now, even though he wasnt out of shape of anything it was something he could do to work off the food that he had just ate moments ago. Mario would look at all of his surroundings while falling behind Asuma watching all of the traps go off trying to memorize step by step, because he knew sooner or later he was going to have to go through the maze and all of the traps that were going to be in the way. sure their might be some short cuts, but most likely it wouldnt be, because that wouldnt be safe at all for the unknown people that would be trying to get into the vilage.

He would continue to fall behind Asuma calmly not being worried about the things around him because he knew he was capable of doing this without any problems at all. He knew if Asuma could do it that he would be able to do it with ease also." so Asuma were are we heading, i mean if we have to go through all of this we must be going somewere important right? " he would say smiling continuing to follow behind Asuma through the large maze. i still wonder how long it took for them to build this large maze with all these traps, i wonder if it ever runs out Mario thought to himself chuckling abit but pausing quickly so he wouldnt be knocked off his focus because he knew that even he would could end up lost in the maze at this rate.

I wonder how much more we have to go before we get to our destination, i mean it cant be this long he would think to himself matching up with Asumas footsteps, which was what he was good at, especially sence hes an Uchiha and apart of their main skill is copying the steps and movement of others in battle. he use to do stuff like this all the time while training, so this would be a biggy at all, for now he would just wait for a responce and follow along with what Asuma is going to say next so he would know what was coming to him.

No sooner where they out of the maze and now amongst the country. They had to make a trip to the village, however despite talking about the alternate route, in this scenario it was better for them to just go the main way. Still Asuma couldn't help but chuckle at the young man's joke. His uncle's place, no surprise that he was still out of it. Hopefully he watched his step prior. They'd have to get used to the base for awhile. He stretched and took in a deep breath of fresh air. When he started doing some stretching, this may or may not have puzzled the Uchiha.

"If we're going to get back into shape, a brisk jog to the village is mandatory. Come on, up and at em!" The jounin declared as he began to jog on the spot. If Mario didn't keep up he'd jog on ahead, the thick mist of Mizu no Kuni could easily get the man lost. Though that was really just an incentive for the man to get jogging. This trip wouldn't actually take that long, they'd be able to reach to the village gates in no time depending on their speed.

"So then, after I show you the village we've gotta prepare to get you a letter of recommendation for ANBU. Actually, I gotta prepare my own too. Best to do what we can before the little Lady gets back." Asuma would say with a chuckle. Despite being an avid smoker, he showed no signs of fatigue or heavy breathing as he jogged. The misty atmosphere felt great, he really did miss this when they were underground. Hopefully they'd be able to reclaim the village and put the council at ease once and for all.

Great things needed to be done, hopefully everyone was ready for it.

"Man.. I'm missing the desert already.."

The young Uchiha would silently mutter to himself. He'd just disembarked from the ship ride here, and now he was searching for a village, an outpost, the Capitol or something. It sucks not knowing your way around of course, but nothing could disencourage the boy from achieving his goals. He'd come way to far, as a shinobi and a person. The boy would stroll around at an easy pace, steady he'd go and of course on high alert, being new to these terrains. The only thing he could listen or watch out for were figures, maybe voices that could perhaps point him in the right direction. And lady luck was on his side, fortunately the voices of people would ring through his ears. The boy would come to an abrupt halt, a rather hard one at that and therefore would cause the bells wrapped around his katana to shake a bit.

He'd freeze so perhaps he could get the exact direction the voices were coming from. They were definitely close because he could make out some of the conversation they were having. Two voices, female and a male. Angel managed to catch the voice of the female as she'd begin her speech. He'd remain cautious though, there could be someone he'd been missing from the equation. "So then, after I show you the village we've gotta prepare to get you a letter of recommendation for ANBU --" At the word, 'ANBU', the sixteen year old's eyes would widen. Perhaps they'd be able to help him out, the village's ANBU unit. Or maybe they'd be total assholes and would cause the Suna shinobi immediate action. The boy tilt his head to the side, shifting it to the right a bit to get a better look. Analyzing.. Definitely Mist shinobi. Making his way through some trees, he'd reach the couple, raising his left hand up at them. "Yo.. Uhm.. I come in peace..? Is that right..? But anyway, I'm looking for an Uchiha Mario.. Seen em round here, any of you?" Straight to the point. He didn't want to come off as a hostile, but if it came down to a fight, you know the drill: Always itching for one.

OOC: Approved by me also, let's wait for Mario's post now =D

[Mario Uchiha]

Mario would smile as they would finally get out of the maze." ok now i see how this thingy works or what ever, it should be easier for me to keep up now that i know alittle something about it " Mario would say now jogging side by side with Asuma sence he didnt need to fall behid him anymore. "If we're going to get back into shape, a brisk jog to the village is mandatory. Come on, up and at em!". He would here Asume say as he would continue to follow behind." i here you on that one " He would say continuing to follow behind Asuma. Mario would here a small sound but it would have seemed to might as well be a animal or something so he would continue to follow Along.

Well i guess this could help out, plus it will get us to the village must faster than usual He would think to himself. "So then, after I show you the village we've gotta prepare to get you a letter of recommendation for ANBU. Actually, I gotta prepare my own too. Best to do what we can before the little Lady gets back." he would here Asuma say before responding to the Remark." yeah, but what do i have to do in the recomending thing or what ever. cause ive never recomeded for Anbu before and this will be my first time. but im pretty sure you will help me out right" Mario would say smiling before he would here something again, and then he heard a voice along with it."Yo.. Uhm.. I come in peace..? Is that right..? But anyway, I'm looking for an Uchiha Mario.. Seen em round here, any of you?"..

Who in the hell is this guy, and why does he know my name. this is becoming one heck of a day Mario would think to hijmself stopping complete and would look over towards the boy." yeah, im this mario uchiha guy that you speak of. what do you want" he would say scratching himself not expecting anyone to come along and talk to him. plus the person knew his name." before you respond with anything else, can i get your name" he would say wanting to know who this guy was. maybe he could get a clue who he was. but he doubted that he would know the guy. i hope he doesnt come in here starting a fight, but he doesnt look like that type of person, although looks can be decieving. He wold think to himself waiting for a responce.

Ah it's amazing what events can occur whilst jogging to your village. Within the distance, a young man approached. Naturally this would put Asuma at guard but no sooner did he utter words of a friendly stranger. Since he said he came in peace, Asuma's guard was lowered slightly but now he'd observe the man more carfully. In particular, he wanted to know if either of them knew Uchiha Mario. Well of course they both did. Mario was a former Mizukage to which he looked over to as his name was mentioned, revealing the young man to be whom the stranger questioned. Thankfully Mario had some wits about him, questioning the name of the one who asked. As such, the jounin wouldn't say anything further. He would no sooner conclude the man to be a suna shinobi, finding the place he wore the traditional forehead protector. "Awfully far out aren't cha, sands don't mix with water too well...boy." Asuma would add, he was rather apprehensive at the moment.

Though unlike before, he wouldn't taunt this foreign shinobi like he did the Cloud ninja.

(Short post is short, gotta get some...more info from both of ye =P)

[kalo]

"Yeah, I'm this mario uchiha guy that you speak of. what do you want?"

"Man, this was so easy that I'm a bit dissappointed." A smirk would come across his face. He had no knowledge of the Mist shinobi at all. "Awfully far out aren't cha, sands don't mix with water too well...boy." But telling from both of their speech, Mist shinobi were rather rude. Almost reached up to young Uchiha's own standards, but of course no one would -ever- be able to reach there. Giving a quick distance, he'd analyze his distance from the two. A neat little twenty yards to say the least. From there, the boy would reach to his back and pull both of his katana. The bells wrapped along the first hilt would ring ever so gracefully. While the second would make its beautiful sound when sliding along the inside of the sheath.

Extending his arms on either side, he'd hold the katana's grasped firmly in both hands. A smirk would come across his face towards where merely the right fangs of his teeth were showing. His eyes would analyze the opponents before him. "I don't believe you're Uchiha Mario. What kind of shinobi is THAT tall anyway? Besides, you're way too ugly to be an Uchiha!" Laughing at the end of his statement, the boy would spin the right katana in around his hand, only for the hilt to end up at its original spot; firmly grasped in the palm of his hand. There would be no surprise attacks while he was talking. Already being used to it, he'd finish his sentence and move out the way of an attack at the same time if he'd have to. Being the 'biggest talker in Suna', he was quite accustomed to it."The names Solid Snake, and I was just kiddin' about that 'come-in-peace' crap. I've come to take all of the Mist village's secrets back to my own village! Haha, now you know. Come and get me!" Perhaps a test of their intelligence? What kind of shinobi trying to steal intel would come before the enemies presence ever so willingly, and then call out his entire mission objective? Either way, they'd fight him or he'd force it from them.

Bending his knees into his dual stance, the boy would bring the left katana over his shoulder. Very decieving, it seemed to be resting but nonetheless very well ready for attack. The right would remain in front of his body. "You think you can beat Snake Of The Bells..?"

[Mario Uchiha]

"Man, this was so easy that I'm a bit dissappointed."

Wow, was i suppose to make it hard, oh well. i like things to fly by fast so i can keep on moving Mario would think to himself before he would look at the boy. the boy was somewhat of a very confedent person in what he was doing and saying. for someone so small, he must be quiet strong for the mouth he rides on. But at the same time, Mario knew he could sometimes be the same way, but that was only when he was trying to get into someones head. but in this case, he would only give the boy what he was asking. what is a sand Shinobi doing here in the mist village Mario would think to himself watching as the shinobi would take out his katanas and would get into a stance as if he was going to get ready to start something.

"I don't believe you're Uchiha Mario. What kind of shinobi is THAT tall anyway? Besides, you're way too ugly to be an Uchiha!"

Well, i guess this guy really doesnt know anything about me at all if he doesnt believe im Mario. but i mean what would i expect of someone outside our village Mario would think to himself smiling." Yeah " he would say simply scratching his head wondering when the guy would get to the point of this whole situation or what not. man this is getting so annoying and boring, now i know how Masamune use to feel when i use to bug him all the time Mario would think chuckling abit looking back over to the boy waiting for his next comment, which he was hoping wouldnt be smarter than the two he had already made before.

"The names Solid Snake, and I was just kiddin' about that 'come-in-peace' crap. I've come to take all of the Mist village's secrets back to my own village! Haha, now you know. Come and get me!"

What kind of idiot would come here and tell us his mission. either hes to bold and knows he can beat us off the back, or this is some lame test hes trying to put on us. Mario would think to himself nodding his head." i so guess im suppose to start a fight now or something right " Mario would say smirking to himself as he would look towards the ground and then would turn around to look at Asuma with one last smile before i would look on his waist to find that he didnt have a sword at the moment. oh yeah, i have to get it from the house. oh well i guess i will just fight old fashion style He would say smirking to himself

"You think you can beat Snake Of The Bells..?"

So this is the name he goes by in the village of the Sand right. He would say reaching out and taking a kunai off of his back pocket and would sigh before responding to his last remark. " naw i dont think ui could beat you, but i still think i can try " Mario would say to himself smirking before he would take off running at the Boy who went by the name of Solid snake. This wasnt most advance move he could start off with, he knew he was going to receive a smart comment from the boy the second he made a move so he knew he would already be ready for. He would take out an exploding tag and wrap it around the kunai, then taking out another and doing the same, and would throw it as hard as he can towards the boy. but instead of aiming at the boy he would throw it about ten feet behind him.

In doing that he would throw one to the left and the other to right of the boy, both being five feet from the side of him, but still aiming towards the ground behind him. the whole point of this was the make the boy come forward, so if he was to move away, all he could do is move far far to the sides or run in front, because the impact of the explosion would push him forward, and at the distance the kunais would be going at. Say about a twenty yard radius, it would explode about a second after it would get over to the boy forcing him to make quick movements. which is what he wanted to see from the boy sence the start. this would porve to him that he wasnt all talk at all, and that he lived up to the sand village name, sence they were suppose to be so strong.

Solid Snake...Bells? This wasn't going anywhere that the Jounin appreciated. In fact, it sounded like a joke and a waste of his time. Looking over to a tree, no sooner did he move to sit under the shade. He'd light himself a cig and just exhale the sweet fumes of nicotine. Mario seemed to have the situation covered but he figured he'd add a little excitment. [b]"If you can knock him out Mario, we'll bring him back to be Tortured for info concerning Sand village. The fact that one of their ninja is here without any papers voids our neutrality with them."[/b][/color] He said, shrugging his shoulders and leaning against the trunk. A quick nap would be in order, maybe he was out of shape. [/size]

A smirk remained plastered on his face as he examined his opponent. His eyes would follow every single body part that moved. And he watched as the man would reach for an 'imaginary katana'. Angel would immediately sheathe his own, to 'even' the odds. If this person was supposed to be his brother, then this should be an excellent fight, one to go down in books. Well, of course not important enough to go down in history, but nonetheless the suspense would run deep. The young Uchiha would watch easily and calmly as the man calling himself Mario would make his move. Actually, Angel was thinking about taking him out when he looked down and reached for his katana, but the boy actually prefered to see what the man could do. That was one mistake he'd made, Angel was already a bit skeptical about the so-called 'Mario'.

Soon he'd proceed to pulling kunai and wrapping them with explosive tags. Okay, this time Angel would steal his opportunity. Just as the man would look down and reach for his kunai and explosive tags, the boy would already be gone, utilizing the 'split-second' technique of course, he'd appear behind the man. By now, he'd be wrapping the first kunai, but that'd be the only one he'd wrap. The boy would swiftly throw an elbow to the man's back, which would knock the wind out of him and cause him to gasp for his air of course. Due to him focusing on his kunai and tags for that three to 5 seconds, it was plenty of time to land a battle ending blow on the guy before he even had a chance to see it coming, it was sure to end the battle.

Description: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.

EDIT: I forgot to put the jutsu in there. xD

[Moki.. I guess I won this..?]

Maybe he wasn't the person the young warrior had been looking for. No matter, he had village matters to attend to, and his petty family business would unfortunately have to wait. Slowly, he'd leave in disappointment.
