[Dreamkite]

• Name: New Life
• Rank: D
• IIC Length: 2 day
• Difficulty: Easy
• Description: This mission is to escort Iwao’s son Yumetako to a hidden village for training as a ninja. Iwao has said that the boy shows sure great talent as a ninja and that his history began with ninjas. He believes that sending his son to a hidden village would be better for him then living on a farm. He provides a description of his son and where he can be found. Iwao mentions a special talent but did not go into detail about it. Yumetako can be found in the capital as arranged by the father. A description of his son is included, as well as a warning that he will more then likely keep a green cloak covering him at most times.
• Objective: Successfully escort Yumetako to Takigakure (Village of Waterfall)
o Reward: 500 Ryo

The day was a bit hot but this was not deterring Yumetako from exploring the city. He is for the most part familiar with Seisui’s outlay but he still finds the city life extraordinary. Currently he was observing the part of the city that was over a lake that is created by several waterfalls that fall into it. It was mostly populated by the rich and elite. The people, often regal and high upon themselves, would stare at Yumetako with his more comfortable outfit. They seem to spend more time with their appearance and commenting on others appearance then anything else.

As unlikely as it seems he had made a friend in this district. He is a pottery maker named Arata. Yumetako helped him a few days earlier with moving all his wares into the elite section of the city. It was an adventurous ordeal but regardless Arata owed his business to Yumetako. Arata offered to pay his stay here at anytime having given him a note that says he would pay for it. This was good because Yumetako had nowhere to stay when he first got here.

Some of the places Yumetako stayed left much to be desired. Yet others were so fancy he felt that he was abusing the gift he was given. Eventually he found a nice place near the south side of town just across a bridge that connects the majority of the city to the elite section. It was called Warm Stay. It was a quaint name but upon entering Yumetako had a feeling of country life. The building itself had a sign that showed a pair of farmers sleeping soundly in a hayloft. Upon entering it had a nice homey feel to it with spotted lanterns and old paintings. It wasn’t a very large place to stay but according to the owners it had 30 beds for sleeping in.

Today, Yumetako was hoping to meet a ninja or two. He wasn’t sure how many might come to get him. He knew his father was concerned and had sent a request to the Kage to send him an escort but he didn’t know how the ninjas of the Waterfall country would take it. Perhaps he would be a super important mission and the Kage himself (or herself he wasn’t sure who the current Kage was) would come get him? He doubted that but it was fun to imagine. At first he thought he was worried that he might not be able to become a ninja but his friend Arata suggested letters of recommendation for becoming a ninja. So far he has collected 17 such letters, some ten pages long!

He wasn’t getting his hopes up for meeting a ninja. He had a slightly more morbid take on it. He was thinking that they might not come to get him at all. He wasn’t normally a pessimist but he has been in the city for a week now and he was starting to get a little nervous. Today though he was going to make the best of it, he was going to try to find a nice secluded location to practice his unique skill. After all he has to be at the top of his game if a ninja does show up.

Izumo had often left the village without permission, which was why he was always in some sort of trouble. But on this day, the youth of Taki no Kuni had an excellent reason. He had heard from trusted merchants in the village, that a young boy some where in the capitol was looking for a shinobi. Apparently he had some sort of business, he'd wrack his brain over and over, trying to think if the lord Takikage had informed him of such business. Izumo moved with at a rather quick pace, jumping from roof top to roof top, as to avoid the congested streets below.

He had no idea were this kid could be, and the thought of spending all day to find someone was so bothersome. It was than, that he noticed someone wielding a staff at the local pottery shop. He was talking to some merchant. Izumo couldn't tell what was being said, but by the looks of their expressions, it had been a rather good conversation. Discreetly jumping to an adjacent building, Iumo was able to get a better look at this boy, and from the description he received from the merchant earlier. He came to the conclusion this was who he was looking for. He didn't want to just waltz right up and say hi, so he needed to find some way of distracting and capturing this mysterious person.

Looking around, he found a small fountain in an unused ally. Jumping over to it, Izumo's hands quickly formed an array of seals. His chakra would be used to fuse with the water now in front of him, forming five clones, which rose from their murky slumber. "Lets put this kids to the test shall we?" he told the clones, using the basic Henge technique, to mask their appearance, allowing them to blend in with the crowd. As his plan was set into action, Izumo watched from a rooftop as his clones moved in on their target. Circling both him and his merchant friend, the five seemingly normal people began taunting, cursing, and laughing at the two. Calling them almost every vulgar name that came to mind.

Of course, Izumo didn't mean any of the harsh words, he was just trying to grab the boys attention, and by doing this, he most likely would have. In a position, where he could attack from behind. Izumo waited for the boy to turn and face his clones, it would be than that he would make his move to subdue his target. He wasn't exact;y sure what to do with him after he had got him, but Izumo would just have to figure that out later. But for now, he could do nothing but wait.

Yumetako was having a hard time finding a secluded location so he decided to go and find his friend Arata as he might know a good location. He always marveled at how well Arata kept his shop clean and wondered if he could learn a thing or two from him about organization. He went in and greated Arata then they talked a bit about pottery and painting.

Just as Yumetako was about to ask Arata for a nice secluded location all of a sudden a bunch of random people start harassing him. They were being very rude calling him names and poking fun at the pottery in the shop. Some of the language was very colorful indeed. Soon they started to scare the customer away. Arata had enough “Hey you hooligans stop this at once! You’re driving my customers away!” They paid him no heed, if anything they picked up there ferocity this time focusing it on Arata! When they started to focus on Arata more Yumetako couldn’t take it. He wouldn’t stand by while his friend was being harassed. He turned to face them and said “Hey! Stop that or I’ll stop it for you!” He still couldn’t understand why these random people started to harass them. But he did know that if they didn’t stop they were going to be sorry.

They still wouldn’t stop. He tried to reason with them and they just ignored him they were looking for a fight if anything. It was the only thing he could think of. Maybe they were friends of the movers that threatened to take Arata’s pottery? Even if they weren’t; one of them was in for a load of hurt as Yumetako marched right over to him, smiled to lure him into a false sense of security which didn't seem to matter to him. Then quick as he could he whipped his staff out from behind him in a fluid motion. The staff was a mere flash, the swing aimed at this very annoying person, swinging the full weight of the staff into the side of one of the taunters.

[dede]

His distraction was a success, not only did Izuma's clones force the boy to turn his back, to confront them. A faint smirk crossed his face, watching as this approached his creations. Izumo found it odd when he didn't say anything, and surprised, when his staff would crash into the clones upper neck. A blow like that would have been fatal to anyone, including Izumo. However, the clone, being comprised coley of water would return to its blueish color, before crashing to the ground with a splash. "The kid attacked?", Izumo, figuring there was no more need for the Henge technique, released the chakra, binding the jutsu together. In a puff of smoke, the clones would return to the original appearance, exact replicas of Izumo.

This could likely have, caught the mysterious kid off guard. But if it didn't, Izumo ha another thing for him. Forming an rectangular hand seal, Izumo would use one of his clan's many secret techniques. The jutsu was known Shinranshin, and was aimed directly at his new opponent. His intentions were not to harm the boy, but rather to capture him. If his technique was a success, Izumo would use his jutsu to hold the boy completely still, against his will. Allowing for the remaining clones to grab him and hold him down. But if his technique wasn't successful, Izumo was prepared to jump down, and join the fight in person.

He was committed to the swing he couldn’t stop it. His weight was to far into it. The person he swung at was fast at reacting. Yumetako was aiming for the side of his chest where it wouldn’t kill but hurt instead. He was aiming for the equivalent of a sucker punch to send them running. The person Yumetako was aiming at tried to duck and instead now Yumetako was going to hit his head! He tried to pull back but it was too late. Now instead of sending a message he would send something worse. Why didn’t they listen to him when he asked them to stop?

He watched as the hit connected dreading what would happen next. He closed his eyes as it happened but then he was stunned. He didn’t understand what happened all he knew was that when he hit the person he exploded into water. He felt it cascade around him drenching him. It wasn’t warm and the coldness of it forced his eyes open. Water was all that remained. What happened? he thought to himself. Was he saved somehow? He couldn’t get a grip on it.

Then in puffs of smoke the other ones turned into someone else. They all looked the same. He was even more confused he went to raise his hands and say he didn’t mean to but he couldn’t move his hands up! He couldn’t move anything. He was panicking now. “I didn't mean to!” Was all he could say before they captured him.

[dede]

Holding the technique, just long enough for clones to get a good enough grip on the boy, Izumo prepared to jump down and meet him face to face. His clones having the boys arms secured, Izumo had little to worry about. He'd pull a zip tie from his pouch and hand to a clone, motioning for him to fasten the boys hands together. In doing so, the clones job was now finished, there was no longer a need to waste the chakra required in keeping them around. With a faint sigh, Izumo released his chakra, allowing the remaining clones to disburse back into their watery state.

He couldn't figure the kid out, Izumo didn't know whether he was from the country or from another village, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it. "Whats your name, why are you in the city?" He could tell the boy had panicked once, under his technique's effect, "is this your... first time against a ninja?". He tried to put the question delicately, as not to hint to the boys poor display, of self control. Izumo needed the boy to believe he would kill him if he found out that he lied, so he quickly drew a kunai. Holding it tightly in his hand, Izumo waited for any type of response.

The clones pulled Yumetako to the ground. He dropped his staff before they grabbed him. He was still spooked about what happened he wasn’t sure if he killed someone or not. The clones held him in place he wasn’t getting out of this. If he made a mistake if he killed someone he knew he was going to pay. Another one of them came into view and handed a zip tie to another. Then that one bound his hands. After Yumetako was secured, all the others disappeared into a splash of water. Only one remained. This one asked him a few questions. “What’s your name? Why are you in the city?” then he asked something that struck a note to get Yumetko out of his stupor. “Is this your…first time against a ninja?” the question was worded oddly as if he wasn’t sure how to proceed. After he asked those question however he drew a very sharp looking Kunai into his hand.

“I-I am Yumetako” he stammered at first. “I a-am here because m-my father sent a message to the Kage so that I could be trained.” His stammering started to become easier to control. “I didn’t know I was hitting a ninja I have never fought one before! …Did I….hurt someone?” He paused to word the question correctly wanting to believe he didn’t kill the first ninja that came to get him. Was he going to die for his folly before his new life even began? He couldn’t believe that. He was covered in water he would try to make it away if this man tried to stab him. He would make ice quickly to protect himself he concentrated on the water not turning it to ice yet but prepared to use the water around him in many ways. He would not die today if he could help it. He doubted he could beat this ninja; the best he could hope for was getting away, so he hoped first that this ninja would understand and hear him out.

"AHAHA!!!, kill. You actually think you killed someone? that's rich" Izumo was in near tears to from Yumetako question. Taking a second to calm himself, he would return his kunai to its pouch and take a more relaxing pose, allowing a smile to cross his face, insuring Yumetako that he was indeed in no real harm. "That was just a clone, don't worry, you didn't technically hurt anyone." he'd say this with a joking tone, but his thoughts would go with a little more seriousness. Izumo was a little set back by this kid, apparently he had a problem with hurting people he didn't know, let alone those who were threatening him.

Izumo would realize that he had indeed found who he was looking for, the merchants in the village told him the kid was looking for the Takikage, but as far as messages being sent, Izumo knew nothing about it. "Alright kid, want to join the village, what do you have to offer us?" He wasn't going to just take Yumetako to the village without knowing he had something to offer in return for their hospitality. He'd pause for a second to wait for the kids responce, than continue. "If I take you back, you have to be bond, blindfolded, stripped of you possessions, until after you speak with the village leader. Or, you can just leave now, and not risk being killed for nothing, your choice." With this said, Izumo was prepared to cut the kid lose and let him go. Or, take him into custody and bring him to the village.

((OOC how you do that spoiler thing?))

This ninja was testing him? It made sense they wouldn’t just take anyone to a hidden village. Pity he has made a fool of himself, if the situation seemed direr at first he might have taken it seriously from the get go. Regardless the damage was done and he didn’t kill the first ninja that came to get him, he was right here in front of him. He was going to have to show off a bit first, make up for a failed first impression. He started with cutting the straps around his hands. Use created water in his hand to shape as sharp as he could then force it in place as ice. Lastly he hardened it as much as he could.

• Suiton Soushi (Water Creation)
Rank: “C”
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: With this technique the user is able to create water from oxygen in the air for water techniques. When this water is created they can then manipulate the size and shape of the water, controlling it within their radius.
Special: This jutsu can be used as a source of Suiton jutsu without additional handseals.
Drawback: If the water is made for use outside specific jutsu or to manipulate the size/shape of water in their radius, then this jutsu requires handseals.
Description: By using their chakra a Kaishin member can manipulate the molecules in the air and allow them to take the shape and form of water. In doing so the user is capable of performing techniques that require a water source. The amount of water that can be made, as well as the radius depends on the rank of the jutsu. For D rank the user can create up to four cubic meters of water in a radius of four meters. At C rank eight cubic meters and a radius of eight meters.

Effect: With this technique, the user is able to create ice out of any source of water around them.
Special: This jutsu when combined with Suiton Soushi can be used as a source for Hyouton jutsu without additional handseals.
Drawback: The water source must be within their Radius. When controlling or Creating Hyouton outside of Hyouton jutsu then the user must perform the required handseals.
Description: By using their chakra a Kaishin member can lower the temperature around a body of water at an incredible rate to freeze the water into ice instantly; allowing for ice techniques to be used. In order to go into a rank of this technique a member must first learn the water creation technique of the same rank. If one wishes to train into the C rank Ice Creation they must first learn the C rank Water Creation technique and so on. The radius at which ice can be made depends on the rank of the technique. At D rank four meters radius. C rank eight meters radius. B rank fifteen meters radius. A rank twenty meters radius. S rank thirty meters radius.
Limit: Must have Water Creation Technique rank by rank. ex: D for D, C for C, etc. Must have Ice Release. Must be of the Kaishin Bloodlimit.

• Kuri Buki (Ice Harden)
Rank: “ “D”
Skill: Ninjutsu/Supplementary
Effect: In Description
Special: N/A
Drawback: Learning the ranks of the jutsu requires the specific class to be achieved.
Description: The understanding of this technique allows for a Kaishin user to truly harness the power of ice creation. This technique will determine how hard ice created is. The user must be the same class as the rank of jutsu they wish to learn. This means to learn the B rank version of this technique the user must be B class or higher and so on. At D rank the ice is as solid as regular ice. At C rank the ice is as strong as iron. At B rank the ice is as strong as titanium and cannot be melted with fire techniques below A rank. At A rank the ice is as strong as hard steel and can’t be melted by fire techniques below S rank. At S rank the ice is as strong as adamantine and cannot be melted by fire techniques. This technique is the base of all ice techniques used. The strength of every ice technique depends on this.
Limit: Kaishin Bloodlimit; Water Creation, Ice Creation

As he was being asked the questions Yumetako cut the zip tie around his hands so that he could be a bit more professional and hopefully show what he could do. After getting free he kept his hands behind him and said “I was told I was unique, special. My past riddled with mystery so I need to find out why, to do this I must become a ninja. I can’t offer much but what I can do is something I am willing use to help you.” With that statement he brought his hands around revealing that he had freed himself and then using the same techniques as before he created an Ice sculpture in the middle of the street. The way he finessed over it was exquisite his hands gently carving down and around the figure molding it to a precise shape and size the detail starting to come into focus. He would combine his skills as a modeler with that of his birthright (though he has no idea what that is) forming a perfect likeness of the ninja in front of him. Right down to the hair. The few spectators in the street were not sure which was more impressive, the fact that ice came from no where, or that Yumetako had molded a perfect likeness of the one in front of him with that ice. The attention to detail was astounding it was like a crystal version of the other ninja.

Once done Yumetako was a little tired, but not too much, it was a bit more taxing to make an ice statue that large and detailed. He hoped this would make up for his previous act. Hopefully even earn him a chance to become a ninja. He paused and thought about his staff though, he was very protective of it to a point that he didn’t understand. He knew he would have to give it to this man for a short time and that he said he could get it back. For now he will trust those words. “I know I need more training with this power I have as well as training with other things as well but I can promise you that I will succeed.” As he spoke those words he believed them himself. His entire life he has felt eyes watching him, seen shadows cross his peripheral vision, and had a sense that something would happen soon. He truly believed that he would need to protect himself and others sometime in the near future. “I am ready to become a ninja.” His eyes spoke no lies to this.

You know how to do quotes? just replace the word quote with spoiler.

Izumo wasn't impressed when the youth in front of him managed to cut his hands loose, even if he used some sort of ice technique on such a hot and humid day. What did impress him was what the boy did next. Izumo would follow intently behind Yumetako, as he moved to the center of the street, grabbing the attention of not only Izumo, but many of the civilians as well. Looking about, Izumo grew a little worried, not for his own safety, but that of the villagers which had formed a circle around the two. He knew he could protect himself, but if the boy had some sort of trickery in mind, he could easily have killed any number of them.

But what amazed him was Yumetako's ability, displayed in the form of an immaculate ice sculpture. At first, Izumo couldn't tell what he was trying to do, but as time progressed, the stricture would resemble him in every aspect. A little taken back, Izumo would calm himself, he was worrying for no reason. He'd even clap, showing his appreciation of the kids gifted ability, and the fact he had chosen him as his way to publicly show off. This was why Izumo had decided to bring the kid back to the village. As of now he was nothing, but in a few years, this kid could turn out to be a great shinobi, and a possible threat to the village. But acting now, would transform him into a potential ally, if lord Iizuka saw it fit.

A surge of chakra could most likely be felt, as Izumo released a massive amount. Channeling it into a nearby fountain, fusing his energies to the pristine waters located within. A large bubble would form atop of the surface, growing in both height and diameter as time went on. Upon reaching a certain size, the bubble would explode, sending water everywhere. A large bird of some sort, would race into the sky, circling above the crowd. With a faint smirk, Izumo looked back to were Yumetako had been standing, hoping he was at least a little impressed. "You ready to go, or have you yet to finish showing off?" with this said, the bird swooped down to land in front of its creator.

Still holding the technique's last hand seal, he would channel a small amount of chakra to the soles of his feet, leaping to the creatures back. Implying for Yumetako to hop on, Izumo would continue to speak. "The trick is to channel a small amount of chakra to were ever you will be touching it, hold it until we land, or you will fall... and die" He'd only wait a few minuets for his new ally to jump on, before taking off towards the village.

Noticing a smile and then applause from the shinobi, Yumetako knew he did the right thing. He had an uncanny ability to duplicate anything with his ice. It was like molding clay or another material. It just took him a little time to complete as he could picture each layer of ice formed on top of each other. After his master piece was competed the ninja formed strange hand symbols and then with a surge of energy summoned a great bird made of water from a nearby fountain. Then he asked if he was done showing off. The bird landed in front of them and the ninja jumped on its back. He gave Yumetako a bit of advice about getting on and he understood. It was like him holding onto the water as he makes the sculptures only thin time he would find his whole body weight supported. He had done something similar to this before while living on the farm. He grabbed his staff said a quick farewell to Arata then hopped onto the bird. He sunk a little before he found the right balancing point and quickly adjusted soon floating on the bird just as well as the ninja then held on tightly with his chakra. “Let’s go.” Excitement rushed through him as they soared out of the city to a new future, a new life. Just as they took off he thought he saw a strange shadow move along the ground he took a quick look but didn’t see anything then focus on riding.
