Blood, Cold as Ice Shall Be Shed

[shinzo-kori]

He would enter through the veil of mist, silent and calm as ever. He would barely be noticed among the crowd, for nothing about him showed much to look at. Sadly they overlooked how great a person he was, both in fighting skill and personality, but he did not need their appreciation for he would excel to the top with the help of no one but himself. He was a loner in the sense, for most of his friends have left, or have been taken from him through force, and for it he has lived the life so. He had made it alone to the nearby training grounds, silent as the mist began to cloud the area, a ghostly feel about it. He did not care as he walked into the area, his toothpick twiddling along the side of his mouth and his arms crossed. He would find a stump where he would sit and wait, unknowing to him of what was to come.....what type of life changing experience would find him. His breath was cold as it mixed with the mist around him.

Death is as swift as a vapor of wind, only he that controls the vapor, controls all who oppose him

Taking the time to walk around the city was not very usual of Zeero to do, so it was very unusual for things like this to happen so of course thoughts went through his head as he looked around the city at the roaming people through the mist. Feeling calm as ever he closed his eyes and started walking, he knew he was ending out the city as he heard fewer voices. He then put his hands behind his head as to relax. In the blink of an eye Zeero found himself falling over onto the ground but he caught himself and threw a senbon at the person seemingly trying to trip him, he then jumped in a hurry in case it was just an emergency, he did not mean to throw the senbon but it was basic instinct for him.

[shinzo-kori]

It was swift, almost as swift as his blade as his eye caught the clumsy kid who threw a senbon at him. His katana would unsheathed as quickly as it would return as the senbon was sent to fly in another direction. He lifted himself up and slowly walked up to the boy. He was a bit upset at this disturbance for it was uncalled for. He was peaceful at first, but anger quickly rose upon him. He would walk up to him and place his hands upon both blades strapped to his side, a look of total annoyance upon his face. "You trying to die? Just ask because I don't have time for guessing games..." His hair would begin to blow within the mist as the toothpick continued to twiddle along the crack of his mouth. He would wait for the boy to get up, but his patience was running out fast.

Zeero found it amazing how this older man was teasing him. Zeero pushed himself up and faced the man. "I would not get so cocky if I were you..." said Zeero using a body flicker to come behind him using a clone to come in front of him to confuse him so basically it looked like dirt raffled under him. Zeero then spun three times and let out three gusts of wind that left him dizzy afterwards, he then created water below him and the ninja and started completing another jutsu.

"I would not get so cocky if I were you..."

He seemed to want this man, whom he did not know to attack him, possibly ending his life. Tatsu smirked as the boy quickly vanished from his sight. His actions gave him quite the advantage as his skin grew a shell of earth, a collection of the dust from the boys speed and his ability to manipulate the earth around him with the Shield of Earth technique. He quickly kneels into the Tsuinken Inisharu Stance with his left hand upon his Wakazashi backwards, and his right hand upon the katana. At this moment, the image of the boy would appear before him, and Tatsu would not waste time. The sound of the steel sliding from the sheath had a horrible howl to it, but soon silenced as both blades slashed horizontally across the chest and neck intentionally to kill the boy. His body would spin into the opposite direction from the force of his attack as he would feel three blows upon his chest, weak at best, and barely chipping the husk.

He didn't even stumble from the attack as the weapons quickly slipped back into their sheathes and few chips of earth fell from his chest leaving his earth armor a little weaker. It wasn't so bad though, for the boy was now in his sight. His hands quickly placed themselves together to form three handseals with great skill. Quickly following that he would use Sugizou to leave an after image of himself, most likely throwing his opponent off as he returned directly in front of the boy. His speed was quite amazing, possibly faster then the boy from more experience. If successful, which is not doubtful, he would grab the boy by the collar as the handseals previously made would take affect. They were for a Genjutsu called Demonic Illusion: To Gaze Into My Eyes, a technique which draws an opponent's eyes towards the user....forcefully. From there, the battle would be his.

Looking into the eyes of Death shall surely grant you what you seek

Zeero had finished the water claw technique but this shinobi was too fast and even with a cover over him which Zeero knew he had. Zeero started to turn the water to ice soon but the ninja grasped him up, "shit!" thought Zeero grabbing a kunai and about to stick it into the neck of this ninja but something paralyzed his very face. "Wha......what is this!" said Zeero as he gazed into the eyes of the shinobi feeling very faint and very queery. Zeero breathed heavily, he knew he was into a genjutsu but he could not tap out of it by using kai(release).

Zeero slashed his senbon at the figure in front of him which seemed to shift figures but he had no other choice but to catch this ninja into a paralyzation so they both would be stuck at least, this was no ordinary ninja. As Zeero went in for the strike he noticed that his movements were very slow and he was seeing giant swirls everywhere making everything confusing, he could not even feel the movement of his arm. "Fu.....ck..." said Zeero still trying to slash the ninja with a senbon, "come on.....come on!" said Zeero as he got up the strength to slash the senbon in the direction of the neck which he were to pierce.

[shinzo-kori]

As Tatsu looked into the boy's eyes, he could sense and feel his struggle. It was pointless, at this moment, the Genjutsu would take over him in turn paralyzing him for a short moment. The boy some how managed however to try and fight through the Genjutsu, and his effort was something to be respected, but it would be no use. Tatsu's open hand would grab the arm before it could have an opportunity of reacting in a way of defending himself. At this point he would let go of the boy's collar for he had the forceful eye contact that would paralyze him for a good twelve seconds(two turns).

Tatsu would then place his hand around the boy's cheeks, his thumb and index finger pushing against his cheeks applying pressure to force him to open his mouth wide enough for his next step. If he opened his mouth as expected, he would slip his now open hand quickly into his pocket retrieving a cedar tree seed, and place it into the boy's mouth, forcing him to swallow it, and then he would step back and begin a string of handseals. This would be all necessary to finish the boy, and even though the boy was struggling to free himself, the hypnotizing gaze would paralyze him for enough time to do this finisher move. If the seed went in, Tatsu would let him go.

Zeero would still try to pressure himself to struggle free, his mouth was being forced open, the paralyzation was keeping him dazed and confused at the same time, Zeero then felt something go down his neck, he was forced to swallow even though he did not feel much of it going down his throat, Zeero knew something bad was about to go wrong, why did this fight start, why did he have to make a stupid mistake...which are the exact thoughts that ran through his head at that very second. Zeero began to cry a little, thinking of his family and how he never saw them, he felt a peace withimself finally, whether he died or live he would not make a big deal out of it, but this ninja he was fighting did deserve to live and Zeero knew this at the bottom of his heart, he was never going to give up though, that was for the weaker ninja, he was going to give his all.

Zeero tried his hardest to move his hand towards his weist to cut it so he would snap out of the genjutsu and be able to fend for himself, but he knew the battle would have to end soon or someone was going to die.

[dang this is pretty messed up o.o]

Tatsu would have a look of pure annoyance and anger. Something against him could not be controlled, also as if he had lost all sight of his true personality. He was quite evil looking at the moment as he stepped back and placed his hands together beginning a final shift of handseals and this was the end. At the moment they were complete, something broke within him...something he couldn't understand. He looked at himself and the boy who began to cry and sadly Tatsu felt the same way.

What was this feeling of losing control over his own actions? He had killed people, but he had never killed some kid that happened to run up on him out of no where. He would fall to his knees as the Jutsu took effect. The seed within the boy would now grow into a large cedar tree, ripping him apart killing him instantly. He looked at the ground with a look of despair and total disappointment in himself. It would hopefully be quick for the kid, but he knew either way, it wouldn't be a sight enjoyable to witness.

"I apologize...."

[had 2|3 of the effects off, but its over now -_-;]

The body is able to function thirty seconds after the mind and heart are destroyed. Zeero saw the ninja fall to his knees, " I guess in the end I deserved to die.....Ironic," thought Zeero to himself as white light surrounded him and he finally closed his eyes as tears ran down the face of a dead shinobi and at such a young age, simply tripping over this man caused Zeero to die, a mistake most would not have made.

Zeero was given a proper funeral by the ninja that had killed him, and it was right at the spot where they fought. Flowers blossomed after a week when Zeero's body was finally deep within the earth, these flowers smelled of strawberries, as did Zeero every single day that he breathed and lived to his fullest, his dream of becoming a hunter-shinobi was never fufilled.
