[Kaj.]

The young Kaishin made his way through the streets of Kirigakure, hands in his pockets. His eyes, unfocused, gazed daintily ahead of him; he wasn't worried about concentrating on anything. Nobody was going to attack him within the confines of his own village, and he was only out for a stroll; there was nowhere in particular he was looking for. He let out a long sigh, his breath tainting the air with a small plume of mist. Not that it was noticeable in the current weather.

Currently on his mind, was the mission in Nami no Kuni. He wasn't sure when exactly there would next be illegal trades going on, but he didn't want to miss any of the action. Chances were that there would be many other shinobi that were exceptionally skilled also in on the mission; he very much doubted that one woman had been asked to assassinate a large amount of mercenaries, all of which probably being somewhat dangerous.

That's it then, he thought. I'm going there.

[haiku]

[/i], a rebellious revolutionist, would even become kage was unreal; especially to those who know me.

The massive cloud of mist blocking my visage from the world would wane, only to grant me sight of one person. My eyes appeared to be closed as I walked through the street with my hands in my coat pocket, but I was attentive to my surroundings. My appearance would lead others to believe I were an average citizen; due to the fact I wore no Kage&Shinobi attire, nor did I wear my headband. Still, some knew my name, even my face, and that would be all the evidence offered at this point. I walked past him—

Wait...I wanted to test something; as I liked to do to all of my shinobi. Would he recognize my face? If not, my game would continue on until it reached a rather comical conclusion, one that would leave this young shinobi feeling unaware of his surroundings. No one really likes that feeling. It would be a funny way to start a conversation, yet, a good way to test another shinobi's skills. I stopped only two meters behind him before turning around. I grasped a kunai within my coat pocket, and commenced to speak.

"Eh you, shinobi..."
devious grin
"You ninja and your politics can eat a dick."

[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[Kaj.]

"Eh you, shinobi..."

Hello?

"You ninja and your politics can eat a dick."

Kajou stopped in his tracks, the words repeating themselves softly in his ears. Who on earth had the sheer balls to disrespect shinobi; and of Kirigakure no less, one of the most prominent and powerful villages within the shinobi nation? He smirked. He was hardly phased by the comment; he honestly could care less about what people thought of his profession.

Turning round, his eyes set their gaze upon a young man (older than Kajou, but still young). At the sight of this man's appearance, he had to stifle laughter. His hairstyle was wild, to say the least, buzzed on one side and wild across the crown, and his attire... well, his attire wasn't so odd at all. In fact, it somewhat reminded Kajou of his own; 'twas a simple fur jacket. Nothing extraordinary, unlike his hairstyle.

Shaking his head, the Kaishin spoke with cheer in his voice, punctuating the comeback quite nicely.

''Gladly, depending on to whom the dick belongs.''

Kajou was in no way homosexual, however he liked to make people believe so; that, and he couldn't really think of anything else to say. He wasn't known for his wit, that was for sure. A wide grin slowly spreading over his face made it clear that he had taken no offense from the comment, and instead found it rather humorous.

As he awaited a reply, Kajou couldn't help but notice that the man seemed vaguely familiar. Had he seen him somewhere around town before? It wasn't unlikely, he had seen lots of people during his frequent strolls throughout the town. But this man stood out amongst the other civilians he had observed in the past.

And it wasn't the haircut.

[haiku]

[/b]"
my grin fading
"I could kill you right here. What do you think about that?"[/right]Not that I would really attempt to kill him, but if combat were initiated, we would definitely fight it out a bit. I needed to stretch out and get my daily work out in, besides, I wanted to make sure I had working and able shinobi in my village; I hated push overs. I knew now that this threat would gain a much required response, if not, I would be left dumbfounded once more. I'd pull my arm back, before whipping the kunai forward towards the shinobi at full strength; my accuracy was never off, unless he moved.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[Kaj.]

Watching in sheer awe as the man spat upon the soil of Kirigakure, his village, his home, Kajou could not seem to comprehend what on earth this guy had against shinobi. Something in the past perhaps? He thought back to his conversation with the two ninja at the bar, a few days previous. Everyone was just so damned rude nowadays! Still, this man had soiled the earth of Kirigakure with his filth, and that called for action.

''You ninja and your carefree attitudes..."

Kajou reached into his pocket.

"I could kill you right here. What do you think about that?"

Almost simultaneously, Kajou and the rude gentleman would both withdraw the same projectile; a kunai, the most common and trusted of the shinobi's weaponry. The Kaishin frowned. It was indeed odd that someone who spoke so lowly of the ninja community would have a kunai on his person. Was this all just an act? Was this man really just a misguided civilian, or was he something greater...?

At the current moment in time, Kajou had no time to ponder such things. A flash of silver and he would have deflected his opponent's projectile with his own, sending it flying towards the ground. He could've stopped the battle then and there, but Kajou did not want to let his guard down in a moment like this, and he had to consider the safety of the pedestrians nearby; this man could prove a threat to them. So, instantly after he had deflected the kunai soaring towards him, Kajou would inhale deeply, gathering chakra into his lungs, and then:

Kaze Ya no Jutsu...

A large arrow would escape from his mouth, making it's way towards the man and aiming for his chest. Kajou had no intention of truly harming the man, and the technique was weak. However, he would gladly shed his blood if proved necessary. Nobody spat on his home.

Kaze Ya no Jutsu (Wind Arrow Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User is capable of breathing inwards and exerting outwards a large like arrow to pierce into the opponent's body.
Special: User takes in a deep breathe filling their lungs with air.
Drawback: Only one may be created at a time.
Description: The user molds chakra and breathes in. He or she then blows out and an arrow made of wind is shot from the user’s mouth. This arrow may be blocked as it is just a large consumption of wind, however it can not be deflected away. This means that the object must be large in size enough to defend from one against the wind. The size of the arrow is the size of the opponent's mouth with the length of three feet as it can travel up to the distance of twenty meters. This technique is used for short range to steer an opponent away from the user.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[haiku]

[/i] invisible to the eye, due to the velocity required to form the technique, so my eyes would not be blind to the wind arrow's approach. It was fast however, leaving me little time to attempt to dispatch it in a similar manor as the young shinobi's in deflecting my kunai. I flanked to the right just in time to evade the attack. Soon, the arrow would fade into the mist behind me never to be seen again. So would it be futon vs futon?

Simultaneously as I avoided this technique, I began to conjure up my own. Chakra focused within my palm as I returned to my utility pouch to grasp one more kunai. This time he would be forced to move, for I had no intentions of missing; though if I were to hit my target, it would be in a non-fatal place. Most likely, if he were to move, it would simply leave a cut in his attire, opening the smallest wound just to pretend that there was some ill intent behind this.

The chakra within my hand would become airborn as I once again released another kunai towards my opponent. My chakra would fuse with the wind element, creating a small funnel that would, in a sense, help guide my kunai towards the enemy. The blade would go straight for a brief moment before making a drastic turn that would make it appear to be a utter miss. However, in the end, it would curve back to the opponent, avoiding any other attempts at deflecting it.

This funnel of wind, Kazepusshu, was not normally used in this manor, and it really didn't help guide my kunai at all. Due to my training with secondary weapons, I was skilled enough to actually implement a curve into my throw, allowing such an action to occur. The wind would simply added to the velocity of my throw, causing it to be a much faster target to avoid. Once again, my deadly accuracy was to play a part in this, though my aim still wasn't concrete.

Curve Effect
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu, Passive.
Effect: The user is now able to hurl Weapons with a curve effect that previously they couldn't.
Special: ---
Drawback: Non aerodynamic weapons cannot be used with this. The next weapon(s) cannot be used with this technique: Senbon,
Description: After so much training the user is now capable of hurling weapons they previously couldn't with a curve effect, like if they would be hurling a boomerang using a kunai, or shuriken, just that it doesn't return to the user. From now on when the user hurls a weapon if the weapon can, it will have a curve effect if the user wants to, however this doesn't mean that the weapon will return to the user's hand. This is commonly used for surprise attacks. The user can create a 30° angle using the weapons. However weapons with a aerodynamic shape have a greater angle aside from the one they already have, those type of weapons have a 60° angle, weapons that fall into that category are: Shurikens, Windmill Shurikens. If used with weapons that have a greater aerodynamic shape (boomerangs) the angle can be increased up to 90°, weapons that fall into this category: Throwing Weapons.
Limit: Must be a Weapon Specialist.

Futon: Kazepusshu
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: When the user pushes out with there palm, creates a small funnel of air that can push the opponent back or over, but it causes little if any pain. This however can be a very annoying jutsu.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: The user quickly gathers a small amount of chakra to there hand and pushes it outward with there palm as a small funnel/gust of air blows out with enough force to push the opponent back or off balance.
Limit: Must have Wind Release.

Weapon Proficiency - B - Increases Accuracy by 30%

[Kaj.]

By now, there was no doubt; this man had to be a shinobi of some sort. He had evaded the arrow with relative ease, a feet your average civilian would not be able to accomplish. And now, he seemed to be conjuring up a technique of his own. A kunai was launched at Kajou, it's speed increased with the aid of some sort of fuuton technique. It seemed this man liked projectiles a lot; it also appeared his aim was very poor. Almost as soon as the man had thrown the kunai, it had curved in the complete opposite direction of Kajou, leaving a wide grin upon his face. Maybe he wasn't so dangerous after all.

Wha-?

But then, the kunai was back on track, coming towards him from behind in a boomerang sort of effect. The opponent was sure damn crafty, that was for sure. But Kajou wasn't about to take a hit from such an attack. With the aid of Shunshin [1/3], he quickly slid to the side with an enhanced speed, the kunai whizzing past him and off into the mist (unless the opponent had other plans). Simultaneously with this movement, he would speed through some handseals, Ox, Dragon, Rabbit, and two shackles of ice would appear in the air, attempting to take a hold of the shinobi's wrists and bind them to the ground, prohibiting him from using any more weaponry. Hopefully, he would catch the man off guard.

Shunshin no Jutsu, 瞬身の術, (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Type: NinJutsu
Effect: 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. This technique allows a user to move from one point to another at speeds double of their speed potential of up to ten meters.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of doing this three Times per day after learning it the first time. Each time learned the user is capable of going into this multiple times. Each time learned the user is capable using this technique an extra turn per day. If the user uses this technique more then stated, the user's muscles will cramp and render the user unable to run about and move period.
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.
Limit: User must have a Character.

Jouseigen [Imperial Restraint]
Rank: ''C''
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Creates shackles of ice from water vapor in the air or other bodies of water, restraining the target.
Special: Ox, Dragon, Rabbit
Drawback: Has little effect against targets of higher rank. In most cases, shackles don’t eliminate movement, but rather restrain it.
Description: Upon forming the hand seals, the user creates several shackles of ice from water vapor in the air (or elsewhere) in order to restrain the opponent. These shackles are most commonly used to bind an opponent’s hands in order to interrupt long strings of hand seals. Bound permanently to the ground these restraints are capable of limiting movement but not eliminating movement. (The chains themselves are immobile.) Once the shackles are in place the target is held for three turns, adding an additional turn per rank the user is above the target, and subtracting a rank per rank the user is below the target. When first learned the user is capable of forming two chains of ice. Each time relearned they may form an additional one.
Limit: Kaishin

[haiku]

[/u]: only due to the fact I am higher in rank as the drawback states]. My hands fell limply to my side as I studied the chains conjured up before I could even attempt to avoid them. He was good, and obviously a Kaishin; it seemed my village were full of those from that clan|bloodline. I figure I was stuck for now.

[Kaj.]

OOC: sorry it's so shit, I was in a hurry. >_<-

IC:

Kajou stared at the man blankly. His plan had worked, but he could see that with every tug that his opponent gave at the chains, they were gradually getting weaker and weaker. He didn't have much time; he needed to act fast.

However, he didn't want to get in too fast. Prior to being restrained by Kajou's shackles, the man had been performing some hand seals, barely finishing them before his hands had been bound. It could be something dangerous, so instead of choosing to get up close and personal, the young Kaishin would keep his distance.

''I'll kill you once this shit wares off!"

''Easy there, matey.''

Reaching into his pocket, Kajou would withdraw a single kunai before launching the projectile at the man's groin, purposely attempting to miss the genatalia and plant the weapon just above, in the lower abdomen. This was by no means a lethal attack, but it would prove quite painful if it were to succeed. Having made his move, the shinobi would perform some hand seals of his own and lean on a nearby stack of crates that sat outside a weaponry shop.

I'll kill you once this shit wares off!

The words repeated themselves in his mind.

Pah.

He didn't fear the man's petty threats.

''Who are you, anyway?''

[/b]"
followed by one last tug[/right]My right chain no longer became an issue. I could feel the ice cracking on its own due to my strength. Soon, within a matter of seconds, the chain would fall apart; saved by fate once more. So it seemed that this shinobi wasn't as much as a push-over as some of my other ninja. He could be trusted as well, at least, through my observations. One who didn't care about his village would most likely react to the petty threats, as opposed to the threats of his honor. The right chain would shatter into pieces as I avoided the kunai.

Of course, my ability to evade the targets attacks were limited, due to the fact I still had one more chain binding me to the ground. Action had already been taken into account, and soon to come to effect once I felt the timing was right. I'd allow the chain to remain here as I watched my opponent from a distance. He was conjuring up his own set of seals. This could become troublesome if I were to play this out any longer; pretending I were still worried about this ice chain. I knew the extent of a Kaishin true power.

[Kaj.]

Watching as the man evaded the kunai by breaking free of one of the chains, Kajou would have already begun some more hand seals. This man was far stronger than he had expected, his phyiscal strength far outweighing the Kaishin's. However, the next attack would not be so easy to evade. He was trying to preserve chakra, but it seemed in this situation a jutsu was needed.

The hand seals finished, Kajou would inhale a deep breath before letting out a mastive blast of wind, nearly inescapable considering the man was still somewhat bound. This technique was stronger than that of the arrow, had two possible goals; for one, the technique would either dislocate the man's shoulders with it's sheer force and send him flying backwards, or it would make it necessary for whatever technique the man had prepared previously to be revealed if it was some sort of defense.

Kajou's own hidden technique had yet to prove purposeful.

SPOILER: Click to show

Fuuton - Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls out a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything within its path.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: User performs the handseals as they take in a deep breathe. Holding it for a brief moment they quickly exert it as a large blast of air the size of the user's head, and double the length is sent out towards the opponent within the distance of twenty five meters. This technique is capable of crushing an opponent's ribs if hit directly, or capable of dislocating a shoulder if hit along the shoulder. This technique is sometimes used to break down large doors, or to smack an opponent away from the user when the user comes into a bind. Depending on the user's class level depends on the distance this technique may be used. When the user is "D" class the distance is that of twenty five meters. Each class the user is higher then that of "D" The distance increases by five meters. When the user masters the art of wind, the blast increases by doubling it size as the distance is increased by ten meters.

right brow would rise[/right]What was this? A burst of air, yet, different than his previous attack. This was definitely not what I had expected, though at least things could have been worse. Had I prepared before hand, I would have simply used Kazepusshu once more in an effort of deflecting, or slowing down, this wind technique; a luxury I didn't have at this very moment. Crossing both arms together in hopes of creating some sort of reinforcement, my feet planted to the ground, I would take in the brute strength of this attack head on.

I would be a liar to say that the pain didn't bother me. It felt as though I were being hit with a steel bar, my arms lucky they did not shatter to its brute strength. It forced me back, my feet sliding along the ground before I were able to lean in closer to the floor, placing my left hand upon the ground to help slow me down to a halt. I was wasting time, and I had tested the shinobi enough to the point that I could see he was fully capable of holding his own weight. I lifted myself up before placing my right hand into the air.

"Stop...thats good."

[Kaj.]

''Stop...thats good.''

What?

''You proved yourself just now.''

The young shinobi stared in pure bewilderment at his opponent. What did he mean? You proved yourself just now. He had proved himself? Was this a test? But who? Why? So many questions. Kajou would unsheathe his katana from inside of his jacket and hold it neatly at his side, just in case, as he made his way towards the man; he doubted that any sort of close range attack from him would be possible considering his current state. But he wouldn't let his guard down, no, the shinobi knew better.

''I proved myself?''

There was confusion in his words, but also slight sarcasm.

''Who are you, exactly?''

From the first move, Kajou had subconciously registered him as a missing-nin or an angry civilian trained in the arts of the ninja. But now, he thought otherwise. There was also still the familiar aura he felt around this man; however, he still couldn't pinpoint exactly were he recognized him from. Squinting his eyes, the Kaishin would stare intently at his opponent in a vain attempt to remember who he was.

''What is your purpose?''

[haiku]

[/b] a surprise, since I suspected he didn't. I looked into the sky for a moment, and sighed a bit; catching my breathe with that sigh as well. I then looked back down at him, my devious grin re-appearing.

"It appears no one recognizes the Kage these days..."
a comical pout
"Ooooh well. :["

I turned and walked away. That was it? I didn't even answer his questions yet, nor did I ask him his name. That was strange, and very unlike a Kage to do after attacking one of his own villagers; for I didn't even have the thought of explaining myself. Well, thats the way it appeared, but that wasn't true at all. I was heading out of here, yes, but it was due to the fact I had to prepare for the festival soon to begin today. After a distance had been made, I stopped, and began to speak with my back towards the shinobi.

"You proved yourself worthy to be a member of my village..."
turning my hide slightly
"I'll see you at the festival."

And like that, it was over. The beanie would be removed from my head. I would reach into my coat, and then pull out my sign of authority; my Mizukage hat, for all to see. It was strapped to my neck by a light chain which created a zipping noise as it rubbed against the zipper of my coat. Placing it on top my head, I'd keep my head turned slightly, my fingers rubbing against the brim as my tongue left my mouth in a sly manner. Now he would know, the kanji upon my forehead clearly presenting my position to him.

"By the way...what is your name?"

[Kaj.]

''It appears no one recognizes the Kage these days...

The Kage?! Lord Mizukage?!

''Ooooh well.''

Almost as if he had been pushed from behind, the genin would fall to his knees, bowing his head and gritting his teeth. Of course! How could he have been so blind? Only now did he realise why he found this man familiar; there were posters all about town announcing the new Mizukage. His name was Fuji, a member of the Li clan, if he was not mistaken.

''Lord Mizukage, sir, I apologise! Please forgive me...''

Oh, how he groveled.

''You proved yourself worthy to be a member of my village...

Kajou raised an eyebrow. So it had been a test, after all! The young Kaishin found himself on a rollercoaster of emotions; relief, for the fact this man was not a missing nin who intended to harm the people of Kirigakure, guilt, for the fact he had not recognized the Mizukage, and slight confusion at the fact he had just bested the Mizukage in battle, one of, if not the strongest shinobi in Kiri. But then, if he had merely been tested, Kajou very much doubted that the Mizukage had been fighting with his full strength.

If he had, thought the Kaishin, I wouldn't have won so easily.

''I'll see you at the festival.''

Kajou rose to his feet, brushing himself down and watching as the Mizukage garbed himself in the appropriate uniform; or, hat.

''By the way...what is your name?''

Kajou smirked, proud at the fact his Lord had asked him the question.

''Kajou, my lord. Kaishin, Kajou.''

[haiku]

[/b]"
my eyes pointed to the ground
"I'll remember that."[/right]With a nod, I found myself pleased with this encounter. Hopefully he would prove to be useful if things ever went totally wrong. Still, there was one thing that bothered me. His guard, appeared to be too relaxed. Yes, I presented myself as the Mizukage, and it was now evident due to my new apparel; the hat. But how could he really know I was the kage? All that one required in order to pretend to be the Mizukage would be a simple Henge no Jutsu, which any Genin fresh out of the academy could do easily.

"Oh, and Kajou....one last thing."
lifting my left hand into the air.

My fingers would shape into an upside-down "F" of sorts, or possibly an "L", since my index finger could not bend completely into my palm. Regardless, this was the creation of a one-handed handseal; the zodiac being: Ram. As I said, my chakra still lingered in the air, as well as around my fellow shinobi. With the activation of this technique, the wind would see to suddenly yanking the shinobi in towards me. He'd most likely be dragged along the floor by a controlled tempest of wind, halted only two meters from my position.

"Trust no one...number one rule of being a Shinobi."
I'd make my exit

From behind, a gust of wind would come forth in an attempt to swipe the young Kaishin off his feet; it succeeded in doing so, and the Kaishin found himself two meters behind the Kage, wide eyed as he heard the words:

''Trust no one...number one rule of being a Shinobi.''

The genin frowned; it was true, he had let his guard down. A fool's mistake. He watched, frown still plastered upon his face, as the Mizukage made his exit, and only when he was sure that his Lord had left, he would speak in a sarcastic tone.

''Okey dokey then.''

Then, he would be on his way.
