Mission: Renegades

[Kuro]

Kurogane nodded in response from his brother "Alright, well here goes nothing," he said then pulled down the necking of his shirt and preformed a long string of hand seals, and inhaled deeply.

Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu

Drawback: This type of technique is better used if the opponent is binded down and unable to be moved.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the neccessary handseals for the technique. As the user does so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in which egnites the moment they blow the air out. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivles and swirves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. When first learned the Dragon does not explode forth but the very flames oozes out spreading out in all directions that would wrap around the opponent in a blaze of glory. When the user learns the "B" Rank version the user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is egnited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

His water clone then leaped out from the tree going west, as it did, Kurogane went east of the tree turning in mid air and launching his Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique). One thug had thrown a kunai right as he saw the clone and hit it dead on. But all were distracted by the clone and didn't see Kurogane until after he unleashed his Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu. The flames shot out of his mouth and directly at the targets. It hit the ground in front of them pouring out and burning the grass and shrubs around them. The intense heat made them jump back about 5 meters. Kurogane landed on another tree and continued to circle around them, he positioned himself directly east of them by about 20 meters. He pulled out two kunai and attached an explosive tag to both. He then threw a kunai at them as he circled back to his old postion.

The kunai he threw came flying through the trees sticking into a trunk of a tree next to them, the tag ignited and then exploded taking out the entire tree, which fell onto there position. They split up, one jumped back near Nataku's position, this one was clearly the leader. The other two leaped forward, they were left in a state of confusion.

"Where the hell are they?" one asked?
"I have no clue, but stay on guard!" the leader shouted.

[deathscythe]

Nataku still surprised by his brothers trick threw a senbon then moved and watched as it hit the leader. The leader turned around and attacked his knocked out teammate who he didn't notice who it was till he heard a loud yell coming from the thug. once he realized who it was he took his sword from the thug's body and looked around. Nataku jumped from above the leader and took a big swing only to be stopped by the thugs blade a loud clank went throughout the forest. The two started in a sword fight back and forth Nataku tried to keep on the offense but the fight didn't go to his advantage this man was a trained swordsman. They jumped back a bit to catch their breath the leader then spoke and said [glow=green,2,300]"Your no slouch, so what is your name, my name is Seishirô Sakurazuka."[/glow] Nataku then said "My name is Nataku Rokusho of the village hidden in the clouds. [glow=green,2,300]"Well Nataku it appears we are both great swordsmen lets see who is better."[/glow]Seishirô then attacked, Nataku blocked and took a swing at Seishirô who evaded it. They both gave everything he had into their final attack. The swords hit and as they did Seishirô's sword broke and Nataku's sword sliced into Seishirô's left shoulder. Blood dripped out and a loud thud sound was made. Seishirô backed up from Nataku, he threw down his sword and took a punch at Nataku. Nataku sheathed his sword and wasn't able to block in time. The hit sent Nataku falling onto the forest floor. Seishirô followed him and readied himself as the blood dripped from his left hand onto the ground. Nataku stood up and threw down his sheathed sword he ran up and attacked Seishirô. First he hit Seishirô in the stomach then in the face as Seishirô shivered trying to get up he smiled and said [glow=green,2,300]"Well you seem to be the better fighter so will you just end my life right here and now."[/glow] Nataku nodded and grabbed his sword unsheathing and walking over to Seishirô. Nataku then said "Goodbye Seishirô Sakurazuka you were a greatfighter I just got lucky." Seishirô then said [glow=green,2,300]"Goodbye Nataku Rokusho."[/glow] Nataku then sliced at Seishirô's neck. Seishirô's head rolled off his shoulders and his body fell lifeless. Nataku gathered Seishirô's broken hilt and blade and stuffed it away to show his father he had defeated a true swordsman. Nataku smiled as he sheathed his sword and looked up into the sky as birds flew over him then he heard the sounds of Kuro and the other thugs.

[Kuro]

Kurogane leaped into action the moment his brother's sword clashed with the leaders. He landed between the two thugs, he crouched and waited for one to make a move. He had his kunai in his left hand and his right hand on the handle of his sheathed sword. The thug on the left lashed forward with his fist, Kurogane grinned, twisting and pulling his short sword.

The sound of metal against bone rang out as Kurogane's blade cut into the chest of the thug, as he did this he whipped his kunai at the other thug, it flew with such velocity the thug didn't have a reaction time. It crashed into his ribcage knocking him off his feet. The tag suddenly ignited the thug screamed as he grabbed for the kunai but it was far too late. The explosion sent blood, guts, and limbs in all directions. As this happened the thug with the blade in his chest punched Kurogane hard in the side of the head. Kurogane laughed sadistically as he turned hitting the thug hard in the stomach, he then pulled his blade free and twisted to his right bringing the blade around into the left knee of the thug, knocking him down.

"Your scum, and deemed a menace to the village hidden in the Clouds. It's my honor to finish you off." he said, then shoved his short sword right into the throat of the injured thug killing him.

Kurogane pulled his sword back, and whipped the blood off on the body of the thug, he then sheathed it on the back of his waist. He looked over at Nataku, "Is that all of this group?" he asked. His green eyes caught in the sunlight. His brother was standing there looking up at the blue sky.

[deathscythe]

Nataku walked over to where is brother is and smiled. "So how did you do?" Nataku then sat down and rubbed his cheek where Seishirô had hit him. He thought to himslef what would have happened if the sword hadn't broke what if it hadn't would I be dead right now and not Seishirô. Nataku then shook his head and looked at his brother who seemed to act in a very violent way towards the thugs. Then again he thought Kuro probably thought anyone who goes againsts his village was scum because of what happened to father. Nataku then look as Kuro pulled out his folder to see how far the next were from us. Nataku had too look he unsheathed his sword and looked to see if there was a crakc and saw nothing, not even a scratch. Nataku wondered what if they had the same sword strength from the force of Seishirô's punch he thought he could be dead right now if it wasn't for Seishirô's weakly made sword.

[Kuro]

Looking at the map he found the final location, it was about 500 meters south west of their position. He made sure to look at the distance correctly. He then looked over at his brother examining his own sword. "Hey shake it off, we've got one more group. You alright or do we need to take a little break?" he asked.

He looked up at the sky, he sighed then pulled his mask back up. He looked back at his brother. He seemed pretty shook up over this last fight, a challenging fight will do that, no matter how skilled a ninja may be, no man could keep his calm, collective act forever. He put the map back in the folder and slid the folder inside his cloak, he reached down to see only two kunai left. 17 exploding tags and all 15 shuriken.

The wind blew through the tree's Kurogane felt his body getting tired, that Ryuuka no Jutsu took a lot more chakra then expected. He wasn't going to be able to use as many jutsu's in this next fight, maybe one, but he should conserve his energy till he absolutely needs it.

[deathscythe]

Nataku looked over to his brother and said "Unless you need a break little Kuro I am good to go get this mission done." Nataku smiled and readied himself to start jumping "Well lets get going try to keep up." Nataku jumped into the trees headed towards the final thugs. Kuro hurried to keep up with his brother but the head start was too much. Nataku jumped from branch to branch still thinking of the Seishirô and how it could have happened in any other way.

[Othello]

uh guys...why are u posting all this in the village? the renegades are in the land of sound....so travel through the gates, through the land of thunder all the way to sound. come on guys think.

[Kuro]

Kurogane followed his brother into the trees, he then said over the radio "We cross a main path at 400 meters, we might run into them their. Robbers tend to hit main travel paths. It's the late afternoon we might run into civilians, so we need to keep them safe. I won't have innocents blood on my hands." he instructed. He kept following his brother, as he noticed his brother picking up pace, he had no choice but to do the same. "Stop just short of the path, and make sure we don't over look anything ok?" he said.

They continued through the tree's, branch to branch. It seemed more and more obvious that Nataku wanted to end this as quickly as possible.

"200 meters down, we are half way to the path" he said.


~~EDITED~~~
OOC: I realized this last night after we started, I asked several people through pms to move it, but none responded to me.

[deathscythe]

Nataku jumped from branch to branch starred at the sky as more birds flew over him. He smiled and laughed a little on the inside. While he was running he daydreamed he was flying with the birds then he awoke when he hit a tree dead on. "Damnit that hurt." Nataku rubbed his face and looked at his hand to see blood he asked his brother what was bleeding. Kuro showed that Nataku now had a cut going fromt he bottom of his eye to the middle of his cheek. Kuro then said "Nataku that looks really deep you should fix that before we head on." Nataku nodded and grapped a long cloth form his pocket he wiped away the blood. The two brothers headed on towards the mission point.

[Kuro]

"Nataku, could you at least keep your head in the game." he said as they continued for their destination. Their pace seemed to slow down, but Kurogane wasn't complaining. The forrest was quiet, almost too quiet, but the breeze would ruffle through the leaves breaking the silence. Kurogane reached into his cloak as they were jumping branch to branch, he pulled out the folder and then looked at the map, he located their position and looked at the remaining distance.

"Looks like I misjudged last time, we are still about 200 meters out front the Path." he said.

He slipped the map back inside the folder. He closed the folder and slid it back into his cloak. He continued his pace for the time being.

"We should be coming up on the Claw Country and that means we are almost there," he said.

[deathscythe]

"Well nice navigating little Kuro, damn im bleeding all over my shirt." Nataku took the cloth and wiped the blood from his face. As they kept going on there path Nataku noticed how tired he really was. He finally felt the strain of the last battle take it's tole on his body. He felt weary, he wanted to tell Kuro but he didn't wanna seem like the weak one so he kept going.

[Kuro]

"Ha, let's just get focused we're about 100 meters out at this point." he said, he then listened. He could hear the sound of horses, and people. It was still distant but he could definitely hear something.

"I hear something, sounds like horses, and some people, but I'm not quite sure yet." he said as they continued their pace slowing slightly both were growing tired, and fatigue was kicking in. Neither of them willing to admit to it. As they continued the sounds be came more distinguished.

"Yea I thought that's what it was, that is definatley a caravan up ahead. Be on your guard we are coming up on the path." he said as they jumped from branch to branch.

They came up to the path, stopping just short, to see what was going on. Kurogane was right there was a caravan on the path, but they had stopped for some reason. Studying the situation Kurogane noted there was way to many innocents for this to be a big fight. They had to distract the thugs and allow the merchants to fall back. Three thugs were at the very front of the caravan harrasing what seemed to be the lead merchant. They were getting a little rough with him, which would make Kurogane hurry his decision making. He looked around there should be a forth thug around. The three up at the front didn't seem like a leader, but more of just pawns. Where was the thug that was pulling the strings to this situation. Kurogane looked at his brother, then looked back at the caravan situation.

"This is definately the last group of renegades, but this isn't going to be easy. We need to keep the thugs up at the front of the caravan to help protect the merchants that are back from the front." he said. The shouts from the thugs up in the front seemed much more angry.

"We don't have much time to waste, so lets do what we were sent out here to do." as he said this he pulled out the final two kunai, he then attached an exploding tag to each of the kunai, he put them back on his person. "Alright, how do you want to handle this?" he asked. "I was thinking one of us goes down into the caravan, and the other heads up to the front from the side. The one that hits the front first is the distraction." he said.

Before letting his brother answer he spoke again "I'll do it, you go down and come up from within the caravan, that should throw them off, I'll give you enough time to start working your way up to the front." he said this then put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "No going back from here," he said then took off up the tree line towards the front of the caravan.

[deathscythe]

Nataku walked up to the back of the caravan and threw his headband and sword on top of one the wagons and again wiped away the blood on his face. He slowly walked up to the front of the pack and tapped the leader of the caravan on the back and said to the thugs "Excuse family business." Nataku then told the caravan leader who he was and he was here to help and to make sure to get his caravan back whne it starts. The leader turned to the thug and tryed to get them to leave him and his caravan alone. One of the thugs glanced at Nataku who was behind the leader. Nataku looked back and smiled. He made sure not to look where Kuro was but he knew where his brother was. He awaited Kuro's move and tried to keep the thugs civil as long as he could.

[Kuro]

"Like i said, no going back from here"he thought. He then grinned under his mask noticing Nataku's movement and position. He took in a deep breath then jolted in behind the three thugs. With such speed it was as if he had just appeared there. His arms were crossed, as he faced the back of the three thugs.

"This is no way to make a living," he said calm and cool. A thug quickly turned swinging at Kurogane. Kurogane dodged simply ducking under the attack. He countered with his Konoha Reppu (Leaf Gale). Sweeping at the feet of the three thugs, he knocked down the attacker and the one to his left. He completely missed the third thug, but he didn't care he could leave him up to Nataku. Kurogane quickly stood taking his Gouken no Kamae (Iron fist stance). He watched as the two thugs quickly took back to there feet. The third one then turned and faced Kurogane, completely ignoring Nataku behind them.

"You little brat! I'm gonna crush you like the pest you are!" the one in the middle shouted.

[deathscythe]

Nataku made sure the civilians where behind him as he snuck up on the standing thug and grabbed his head then snapped hit. The other two were still dazed. Nataku walked up to one of the ones and grabbed him then Nataku threw the man away from the caravan. Nataku then he threw the man farther away form the caravan and ran to grab his sword and headband. He ran up the man he threw and took the Battojutsu stance. The man charged at Nataku with a a staff. The thug attacked Nataku and Nataku grabbed his sword still sheathed and blocked the hit. Then as he held the sheath to hold the blow he unsheathed his sword and stabbed the man in the stomach and pulled it out. He then wiped his blade as the thug fell still moaning. He look over too Kuro who was still standing there.

[Kuro]

The man in the middle of the group had attacked Kurogane with his fists, Kurogane simply ducked and dodged the attempts from the thug, then took his own shots. "Douyou Kobushi (Shaking Fist)!" he shouted as he struck out at the thug, his fist quivered just before making contact with the thugs chest.

This took the thug off his feet and right onto his back, he quickly scampered backwards to make space, then popped back up to his feet. He launched forward again, but once again Kurogane ducked, this time not giving him as many chances, he used the Douyou Kobushi again, this time connecting with the thugs stomach. The thug gasped for air as Kurogane attacked with the Douyou Kobushi again, this time straight to the forehead of the thug. Once again knocking him off his feet. Kurogane laughed at the foolish attempt made at the thug.

"Don't you learn?" Kurogane asked mockingly. He had let his guard down, suddenly a sharp pain had filled Kurogane, his eyes shut tight as he gasped for air. A short sword had been shoved into Kurogane's back by the leader of the thugs.

"Pathetic, children playing ninja, is what is slowing down my team?" he asked. He pulled the short sword out of Kurogane. Kurogane turned quickly to retaliate, as he went to strike the thug with his right fist, the thug struck his left arm with his short sword. Kurogane's fist still connected with the head of the thug. The thug grew angry and then slashed out at Kurogane, Kurogane covered his face with his forearms taking several slashes on his arms. The thug then jumped back to take another look at the situation.

Kurogane lowered his forearms as he looked around, he noticed a small creek just to the right of the path. He quickly preformed a string of hand seals, then said "Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Skill)!" The mist filled the area completely blinding everyone, Kurogane then said over the radio "Nine paces to your left is the thug behind me, take him out," he said to Nataku.

"What the hell, are you going to run away now?!" the thug shouted.

"Not quite," Kurogane said as he pulled out one of the remaining kunai he had, he threw it in the direction of the voice but towards the ground. He heard the tag ignite and the explosion follow it.

[deathscythe]

Nataku heard his brother on the radio as he moved he heard an explosion. Nataku stasted a dead run with his sword still sheathed. He saw a figure that resembled the thug leader's. But he had to be sure so he threw a senbon at the figure's hand. He heard the voice that resembles the thug leader yell and get even more angry. Nataku ran up the the thug unsheathing his sword he sliced at the figure going in a straight right down his spine. Blood came out onto Nataku's face. He wiped his face off and asked his brother ofver the radio if he was ok there was no response. He wondered if the man he had attacked was the thug leader. He went down to check the man's face of which he had slain.

[Kuro]

Nataku looked at the man he had slain, realizing it was the weaker thug that was behind his brother. He then looked around hoping to see where he was.

"I'm not sure, did you kill that guy behind me or not?" Kurogane asked.

"Yea, but where the hell are you?" Nataku asked.

"I should be north of your position then," Kurogane said but was interrupted. The thug leader had come blindly running and slashing through the mist, Kurogane released the hidden mist jutsu as he crouched down. The thug still running head on, ran right into Kurogane flipped him up into the air, the leader dropped his short sword in the process. He went flying towards Nataku. "Air born target coming right at you!" Kurogane shouted.

Nataku looked up from his position seeing that the mist had suddenly cleared, he saw the thug flying at him, he quickly grabbed his sword's handle.

[deathscythe]

Nataku saw that he had slain one of the thugs but it was the wrong one. He looked up to see the leader flying towards him. He grabbed his sword and took 5 little sings at the body. He saw that he had basically dismembered the man. Blood came spraying out all over Nataku and his brother Kuro. Nataku grabbed the mans head and said well lets head back home I am hungry. Nataku smiled he could see that Kuro thought it was a bit extreme to do what he had done.

[//Talo//]

Nero watched from the foliage beside the caravan, his employer and his cronies were being assaulted by some unknown nin. They were about to pull off a huge pay off from these wondering merchants, and could have made much, but the bothersome shinobi had to intervene. He frowned, the mist the shinobi had created was beginning to clear, and he could see the man who hired him being attacked. An annoyance indeed, if he died Nero would never get paid. He sighed to himself, and unsheathed his katana slowly, eyeing his targets.

They seemed weak enough, and communicated through a radio system of sorts. The nin closest to him had just muttered something into the radio, and began to unsheathe a sword of his own. Nero rushed from the bushes, attacked the man from behind, hoping to end the annoyance quickly, he held his katana limply by his side, body craned as he looked forward. The assault should be quick, and if the shinobi was too distracted by his employer, he would end the sniveling genin's life here and now.
