Checkpoint / Village Gates

[kamuro]

Daisuke slowly walked toward the village gates, taking his sweet time. He was, of couse eager to start the mission but he always followed his somewhat cheesy motto's. In this situation , his motto was 'dont rush, stop to smell the roses sometimes'. He was seen with somewhat of a grin, once again you would rarely catch him in a bad mood even though his life and childhood was horrible. But he would never let that stop him from living his life and achieving his goals. He was now close to the gates and he could make out two people, tyro and the other guy who's name he hadn't known yet. He briskly walked up to them and said "Hey. guess we still gotta wait for one more person"

[byakuya2]

Shortly after Kamuro arrived at the gates, Ishida got to the gates. When he got there, he was walking at a brisk, but yet sped up speed. He had everything that he normally had on him, a Sword and his Shinobi pouch. He then said “Hey everybody, I hope I’m not too late.” Ishida then waited.

((OOC: Sorry for the wait, and the shortness))

[Water Adept]

Imandi looked at everyones faces as they were all here now, he sighed and said
"I guess we will be going soon unless anyone wants to stay and admire the sceneary" Imandi's eyes drifted to the heavems watching the clouds drift slowly, slowly onwards throug the pale blue sky. He sighed as a raven flew above his head, just like the one his family used to have. He choked for a second but managed to mantain his deneamor. Never let the emotions control you controll the emotions, the people around him would have noticed the temporary moment of weakness. He bit his thumb watching the crimson blood seep down to much blood had been shed recently. He started slowly mournfully to perform handsigns, he would summon up a raven of his own. He pressed his palm downwards smoke issued from it and a raven appeared.
"we need your help anzen can you take us somewhere?"
"yes I can" replied Anzen "climp up".
Imandi climbed up on to the back of the raven,
"well hop on and we can go"

Appearance:


[IMAGE] Looks like all other ravens, except for the fact that he's partially white, on chest where his feathers had been pulled out. After the feathers grew back, they grew back in a white color.


History:


Anzens most noticable feat in the past is that he allowed his brethren to beat him up and pull out his feathers so that he could fool the enemy owls (see the general history section for more information). Always known for his superiority in the arts of lightning, wind and fire, and he passed these ability on to his son Ge and his doughter Ka, however, he spends most time with his genjutsu usinf son Ho, pushing him to his limits in the hope of him turning into one of the strongest ravens ever, however due to this he kind of neglects his other two children

[Tyro]

[Okay, we're getting underway. Mist team has departed so now we can get to the Castle.]

Everyone was here, good. Tyro was about to have them cross the gate until Imandi suddenly and without much warning made what he recognized as the Summoning Technique. Tyro was a little skeptical about putting his travel in the hands of a 15 meter bird, but he had no option besides walking and even though he wouldn't complain about walking, this was a free ride. He boarded the giant bird as cautiously as possible. They weren't very high, but Tyro still was very nervous. He found the clumpiest part of the ravens feathers and dug himself inside of them to prevent falling, then waited for the others so they could travel northward

[exit?]

[kamuro]

Daisuke noticed that the last and final teammate had arrived, and waited for the moment when they would leave, he was already planning out strategies and battle plans if they happened to get into a battle, which was highly likely since this 'castle' was filled with bandits. But he couldn't help but wonder if other people, maybe even other villages had heard about this castle, wouldn't they want a part of the loot too? If they did have knowledge of this castle, some ninja might go over there to loot it for themselves, which would make this mission much much harder to acomplish. But it was just securing the place, they also had to analyze what happened to the family that previously resided at that place. Daisuke gave out a quick sigh, just in time to notice imandi slamming his hand to the ground and summoning up a large raven. His mouth now gaped open, he had never heard of such a technique and was intruiged by it. WHat was even more interesting is that it could talk "Y-you can talk??" he said to the raven, amazed. He climbed up onto it and sat down near its back. He didnt bother grabbing on because he wasn't affraid of heights. As he sat down he felt the comforting soft feathers of the majestic creature. He guessed it was now question time "if you dont mind, can I ask you a few questions?" he asked the raven.

[exit to HI NO KUNI i guess]

[neko]

The dark ninja walked down the heavy dirt road with a kunai in his hand. His dark hat covered his black eyes from the horrible gaze from the monster that swayed above. His dark black greezy hair moved from position to position as Shujoteki trotted towards the gate if the hidden leaf village. As he was 1 meter from the village gate he saw that there was no one present at the moment. The rogue bastard licked his lips as he continuned through the gate into the village. He would press the kunai on his lip penetrating the soft pink skin. Red scarlet blood oozed out and Shukoteki quickly sucked it dry. With only death on his mind Shujoteki continued to the village.

[Enter the village unless stopped]

[byakuya2]

Shortly after his arrival, Imandi had summoned forth a large black raven, he knew of Summonings and what could be summoned, though he had never thought that someone had the raven summoning, he turned to Imandi and said “Can you teach me to use the Kuchiyose no Jutsu and how to summon Ravens?” Ishida then boarded the black bird as everyone else did as he awaited the man’s response to his question.

[exit]
((OOC: This post is made with the intention of havin left before Shojoteki's post. Also, sorry for the wait.))

[Water Adept]

Imandi sighed as he looked down on at the earth below he saw somebody entering the gate sun gleamed off his headband. Must be a ninja returning from some mission or other he thought, besides I dont have time to investigate now. Imandi was woken from his reverie when he heard Anzen talking to his fellow ninja.
"yes I will be able to answer any questions you have" Anzen said. He felt the wind blow through his hair as they soared through the sky, he felt free like the last time he had flown with Solus. He was free of cares for a while as he jsut felt the racing of wind passing and watching the landscape race past below him. Words broke his freedom of duties though.
"Can you teach me to use the Kuchiyose no Jutsu and how to summon Ravens?” another ninja said, he sighed he remembered when he had asked the very same question, how would i teach him he wondered, I have never taught before.
"If we survive this I will try" he replied to tthe hyuuga that had asked.

[daisy]

Daisy walked determinedly through the village gates. Nothing was gonna stop her. Land of Fang, here she came. As long as Woody hurried up, that was.


[Exit Konoha]

[lwqbulb]

Woody was walking through the gates in order to go to the Land of Fang . The guards seems to be suspicious as they stared at him. He does not look like a threat at all as he seems like a zombie walking to his death.

[EXIT]

[nemui]

Amai skipped through the gates lightly, stiffening at the thought on the onset responsibility. How exciting. He looked over the Important looking letter in his hands and sighed. It was rude to just drag him out of the blue like that.
Oh well, to the poetic paper town It is.

[EXUNT]

[深紅色ӗ]

Walking towards the vilage gate, I would show the gaurd the forms that I had from when I had went to the Land of Waves. I would take them back as well as walking through the gates with his acception. Now it was time to reunite with my family. But something was strange. I looked around a bit & I found the cats footsteps again. Was she here? The only way to know was to find out. I would follow the trail to see where it would lead me.

[Enter/Exit]

[nemui]

Amai strolled past the gates, looking awkwardly tired as he did so. Lifting women he did not do often.

[ENTRE/EXUNT]

[Soul]

Miroku wasn't sure about being a shinobi, that probably wasn't for him. As he was walking towards the village gate, he noticed people entering and exiting the village. He felt sad about doing this and he didn't want to be in a village, where he lives in shame. The ANBU guards didn't notice him since he was young. His appearance has changed since he was a kid, he grew his hair long and his looks are different. He stopped walking when he was in front of the guards and the village gate. Was this the right decision? He didn't know what to choose. Stay in the village or leave and follow his true dreams?

This decision was for him to make and he looked up at the sun as the heat was steaming down on him. He wondered what his father and brother would think... Then he made his choice, he walked pass the guards and he looked back at the village. The guards looked at him like he was stupid or planning to attack. He looked towards the rest of the ninja world. He felt kinda happy and a smile grew on his face and he walked wherever his path took him. Before he walked anywhere, he untied his konoha headband and he placed it inside his rightside pocket. Then he kept walking and didn't stop.

[Seira Kimura]

~Enter~

Miyako hadn't been within the village for quite a while, having taken her time walking back and "site seeing". The last time she had been here... since before the last Chuunin Exams. A smile tugging at the corner of her lips, she walked through the tall gates without a word, wondering what her old team had been up to.

~Exit~

[30/80] 4th gate

By the time they had reached the depths of fire country, it had seemed as though Claire had stopped the flow of ice through her veins and had held on long enough to crimp the madness that seemed to dwell in her mind at the moment. Carmen had managed to pull her out of it as they neared the deep heart of the dense forest, and although she considered them lucky that they had not ran into anyone nor anything, but she had a feeling deep in the pit of her stomach that something of ill fortune had yet to happen, it tended to when things went right for the two, but she could still not help but feel glad that they had made it intact and with Claire recovering from her shock and having managed to keep her control of herself while breaking through the levels of the gate. It had only taken a few seconds for Carmen to break her out of it, all she had to do was mention their mother and the girl calmed down, in fact, she had gone from being high on anger and brutal impatience to borderline depressed, and now she was simply quiet and collected, although Carmen could feel the anguish bubbling beneath the surface of her sister, her mind ready to snap at the first thing to go wrong, it was nerve-wracking, never before had she feared her sister, and the feeling of emotional detachment frightened her, was this the beginning of the end? Was her sister really as fragile as she seemed to be as of this moment?

"No sister, I am not"

Carmen acted as though it was completely normal, but the emotion in her voice was something she had never heard from the other blonde, it was a bitter and horrid sound that rung in her ears, that was not her sister. The tumultuous quiver in her voice told the guest that it was not a good idea to try and convince her of anything right now, and just let her work off her own issues in her own manner. Brief images passed through her mind, pictures of their mother and pictures of the two of them growing up, like a small collage of their life, these were not her thoughts, this was Claire thinking back on what Carmen could only assume was a good memory to hold onto, however, things grew darker in their heads as the memory that was decided upon was the day their mother was taken from them, the day that both of them had unleashed a darkness within their hearts that they had never spoken of again. That day that she was thinking of was the day they had first and only time they had unleashed the gates uncontrollably, up until today of course as Claire lost herself, but the first time, both of them could not help themselves, and they had took lives for the first time, and for another first, had been rendered useless by their lack of chakra, and were forced to watch their mother die.

"Claire, don't do this, please, don't harm yourself any more, you don't want to lose control"

Her sister turned to her with such fury burning in her eyes that the girl was sure she had lost it, however, the words that left her mouth froze the blood of Carmen, making her feel naught but dread through her heart.

"I can't lose you like we lost mother, I will give my life to keep you safe"

As circular as the logic was, Carmen understood the meaning behind it, her sister wanted nothing more than to have her safety, even if it involved her death, however, she did not seem to understand that by destroying her body like this, by degrading it and damaging herself. However, before she could retort, her sisters anger and fury burned before her, kicking up dust and the winds of the area, trees around her shifting in the powerful torrent created by the absurd heat radiating from the body of the young fuutakongo. The younger of the two tried to reach for her sister, but as soon as their skin met, she pulled back with a gasp, the heat searing her hand, it was hotter than she had ever experienced, meaning that her twin was close to breaking the fourth wall that was between her and the gate she sought to conquer. However, by doing it with sheer hatred alone, she was tearing her body in ways that belied the true manner in which it was supposed to be performed, a controlled and able manner. A small scratch on the arm of the girl was slowly stitching itself back together, meaning she was close enough to breaking the wall, which was not good, even if the body began to repair the superfluous wounds, the inner wreckage would be no different.

"Claire! Stop this madness"

Claire turned to her sister, the pupils of her eyes dilated to mere pricks of black within the spheres of cerulean, her jaw was clenched and she looked insane, her hair and her facial expression looked like madness, Her skin was glowing red and she was burning the air around her with such intensity that even Carmen had to move backwards, however, she could not let her sister do this out of sheer spite when she was already injured and tired from traveling. And with an anguished roar, she struck for the back of her sister head with her strong foot, only to have it deflected and to have a palm forced into her stomach. No, this was too out of control, her sister had clearly forgotten who she was. The neutral yet mad look on her face was terrifying for Carmen to witness, her sister, who had never been truly angry with her, was now bearing down upon her with the anger and power of a thousand burning suns. Carmen took a deep breath in to prepare for the worst when the bushes around them began to shuffle, and small roars and yells erupted there, fifteen different explosions of people burst from the trees, aiming at the two, however, Claire would not stand for it, and it was as though she was nothing more than an after image, as one moment, she was standing there stock still, then the next, each of the warriors had been frozen midair, the fading image of the Fuutakongo girl having delivered a fatal blow to each of them.

Carmen, knowing that this was the time to strike, launched her foot as Claire moved back to her initial position and met the foot with the side of her head, blocked a little by her hand as the reflexes had kicked in, however, prolonged exposure to the gates and being forcefully struck by a woman who had mastered the fighting style of Ake Sune was enough to take her down. Her skin stopped the freakish red glow and she collapsed in a pile on the floor, leaving Carmen in a state, a tear creating a small wet rivulet down her cheek. Why did her sister have to treat herself so, she deserved so much more. For a few moments she sat staring at her sister, but she heard more noises, and decided it was time to move, since her sister needed medical attention, she would go to the village of leaf and seek a medic, of course, their headbands were already stored, and certainly if she arrived at the gates of the village with her sister in arms, injured and exhausted, then she could be let in, or at least given medical aid. Although not having any plans to cause trouble, she would need to keep an eye on her sister, even if she would be unconscious for most of the visit to leaf. If push came to shove, she would ask the overseer to have them guarded by ANBU so that Claire would not try anything funny, but she had the sneaking suspicion that it would simply not do anything.

Picking her sister up, she consulted the map and began to run, her sister in a piggy back position on her back to ensure that she could still use her legs effectively. The voices were growing louder behind her, and she was certainly not going to allow them to reach her sister, they had merely been acting in self defense, and although it was certain that all fifteen of those who attacked were dead from minced organ related injuries, they were not going to allow themselves to be killed, that would be trivial. Over the tops of some trees a tower stood emblazoned in the sky like a floating city, and Carmen had never though she would be so glad to see leaf ninjas in her life. Yelling as she neared the base, she tried to call upon their attention, calling for medical aid and assistance for a fallen woman. Hopefully they would hear her cries and she would not have to fight any more of their pursuers, as no doubt Claire had made them angry enough, any more violence against them and it was likely that they would be surrounded and killed. The tower rose higher the closer she got, and the louder her calls got, she needed this aid, her sister needed it, and she did not care to bother otherwise, they could find out she was from sand, she had no intention of doing anything other than saving her sister.

"Please....Help..."[/font]

[Enter]

The gates..
A place of passage and freedom to walk into the village- That is, if you were rightfully a member of the Leaf itself to start off with. Many a time had she passed through the gates, the same gates that stood today. And today.. there seemed to be a curious person or persons at the other side. But why exactly come to Leaf of all places? Perhaps it was the closest place and the injured person is in critical condition? ”……..” Arriving with a skip in her step to the area, the young female would then await between the gates which were guarded by many of the village’s faithful servants, looking forwards at the women who stood at the other side. Both blonde and sharing the same beauty, she’d figure that what the messenger had said was correct, the who seemed to be siblings or at least related somehow. The drastic difference between the two, their skin somewhat tanned by the sun- Or, at least more tanned than Ishi’s was, their hair being blonde with hers was a subtler tone of vibrant orange. Although at a closer inspection the two did have their differences in their clothes and hair, the one who seemed to be conscious looked.. neater somewhat.

"Please....Help..."

Alas; a cry to be heard from the girl who seemed to be in distress from her sisters condition, Ishi would simply watch, before then taking a breath before speaking the words. ”What seems to be the problem, and what is your business here?”. Her tone was loud enough to be heard from the distance that they were situated at. It was easy to see exactly why they would want to come here, perhaps her sister being ill or harmed or what not, but still. As with Xixion, they were strangers, although the following movements would somewhat judge them. Having always been taught not to think lowly of another person, she wasn’t going to underestimate the girls, not knowing exactly where they were from or who they were.

But, all in all..
..She expected answers from the conscious blonde.

[Beautiful Rogue]

+Help Arrives-

[/right]

Carmen wanted to hit the girl. What was her business? She was carrying her unconscious sister, and she was being questioned about her motives? However, she forced calm upon herself, smacking the girl upside the head would get her nowhere. She just wanted to get the girl inside and safe from whatever the hell was outside. Taking in a deep breath, she shrugged her shoulders a little, rearranging her sister on her back to a more comfortable position. All she needed to do was convince whoever this was that she was not up to anything drastic here, she just wanted her sister healed and then she could go about her business, maybe go meet with the Hokage of leaf about some dealings, as her standing in sand was a little compromised at the moment if she had been witnessed in rain, although the person who had seen her may or may not have been vaporized, she was just trying to cover hers and her sisters asses. The girl looked a little impatient, even after her wonderful Skanking[/b] from the gate, which had made Carmens day a little better, even if her sister was unconscious.

"I'm just looking to keep her safe, we were originally seeking refuge, however, it seems we hit a few snags. Both me and my sister are ninjas of sand, however, we mean no harm whatsoever, I swear upon my life"

Sure, she may not have believed them, but if she attacked, Carmen had a far greater chance due to them being close enough. Hopefully the girl was not foolish, she only sought medical attention.[/font]

[apple]

"I'm just looking to keep her safe, we were originally seeking refuge, however, it seems we hit a few snags. Both me and my sister are ninjas of sand, however, we mean no harm whatsoever, I swear upon my life"

Nin of the Suna, and they too wanted to seek refuge here? It did seem as if half the world was flocking to Konoha now in search of some kind of safety net, although she couldn’t be all that sure, of course. ”…….” Of course, Ishi was willing to listen to the two of them, although how could she be sure that she wasn’t to misuse the kind temperament of the Juunidaime? Her hands to unfold and move back to her side. Although the girl had seemed to explain that the two were from Sunagakure, and swore upon her life, quite a thing to say if you’d think about it, she still wasn’t too sure. ”Although your swearing is appreciated and the distinguishing of your village, is there some other way that you can prove that you will cause no harm within the boundaries of leaf?” she’d question quietly as she’d watch the sisters, causing her to wonder for a few moments what exactly had happened to them to cause such damage to the other sister. The two of them seemed.. identical, similar to.. her Keimei and Koukon, the Futakongo twins on her own team. Were they of the same heritage? It would be quite interesting if they were, proving that they were spread all around the Shinobi world, not just in Konohagakure- Not that she’d figured it was one special to the Leaf anyway.
It was like saying.. Redheads only came from Grass country or something.

”I apologize if you find this as rude, but if you do go out of your way to prove your allegiance, perhaps some kind of offer or information, we will assure that you sister will be given treatment within Leaf until she is healthy enough to leave.” She’d tell her, this being the second case like this she had been given. But would the female do so? To simply have something in return for the service that they would give the sisters would be much appreciated.
Leaf wasn’t exactly a walk in wardrobe.
