As quickly as he had arrived the stranger was gone, vanishing through the forest of boxes and leaving Kireme in his solitude once more, bemused at the curious introduction they had just shared with one another.

With an avilicious use of the word 'hunting' the man was off. Gradually Kireme followed, somewhat feeling uncomfortable in his hideout now that it had been intruded upon so suddenly and with apparent ease.

He approached the sheet of steel that was meant to block to gash in the towers wall and began shoving it back into place. Once the spacey ninja had completed this task he then pushed a tower of particularly heavy boxes to block the entrance, hopefully to guard against any other intruders.

Once the box was in place he wrote a kanji in midair using his glowing chakra and transformed himself into water, sliding out the narrow gap left in the entrance and then reforming once on the other side, once more in the darkened plot of land that was eternally lit by the ominous light of the gargantuan, green clock.

He muttered an unintelligent syllable then wandered off into the darkness as quickly as his astro suit would allow.

This place looked exactly as I had left it. Dirty, grimy, dingy, dark and wet. Felt just like home. Coming here brought back several memories of a team I used to be a part of, but now had no idea of where they were or what they were doing. Not like I cared either, I had better things to do then sit around here feeling nostalgic. I walked over to a metal covering that was hiding a moderate hole in one of walls of the large courtyard. Naturally, as with most things, I knew what the metal was really covering up. A large, dusty room was located inside, filled to the brim with a shit load of decaying scrolls. Most of the techniques that could be found on them were distinctly old, and simple. But in some very rare cases, things could be found here that could prove to be very useful if used in the correct situation.

Ignoring the possible treasure trove of information, I began some light stretching in preparation for the training I was about to put myself through. Normally my body felt sore and tired after a hard training session, but if I stretched before hand, it usually limited the stiffness and aches I felt later on or the next day. My mind wandered on a few things, nothing worth noting as my body loosened up. After a few minutes, I was ready to go.

This was a technique that would be building on something that I already knew. I just hoped it wouldn't be too difficult to master. I began with the hand seals. My fingers formed seals at a rapid pace, the callouses I had from the skin rubbing together on my hands protected me from getting any welts or blisters this time around. Once I was finished, I focused all my attention on the area around me, filling a fifteen meter diameter around me with my potent chakra.

In my head I focused on the light petals of a flower, floating lightly through the air all around me. It brought a sense of calm to my efforts. Second, I focused on the numbing charge of electricity, combining the two images in my head at the same time. My chakra responded to the double image, forming small amounts of electric petals around me. The petals glowed several blue and bright white hues, no doubt from the shocking charge surging through them. To touch these petals, would be the same as grabbing a live wire, although nothing too heavy duty. At least by themselves. With the number I was busy creating, if they all settled on you at once, you'd be easily shocked into a coma.

There was already a ton of the light petals fluttering harmlessly around me, about the same amount as I usually make. This time however, things were gonna be different. This time, instead of cutting my chakra off, I pushed my body further, pulsing more chakra into the already cramped fifteen meter radius around me. Keeping my focus attuned with the picture of flower petals and the static pulse of electricity, I formed more of the bright petals, crowding an already densely populated space. The air crackled with the charged petals I created, and I could feel the flow of my own chakra pulsing around me.

The petals began to obstruct my view of the courtyard around me, as well as of the large clock up in the tower. It wasn't dark by any stretch of the means, with the bright petals spitting light in all directions. My hair began standing on end from the built up charge in the air, and even though fear was not an emotion that I ever felt, a wave of worry began to filter through my chest. Even with everything telling me to stop, I couldn't. I needed to see how much farther I could push this. How many more petals could I create and control without things getting out of hand?

I moved the petals to the farthest distance I could from myself while still keeping control over them. This put quite a strain on me, simultaneously moving the petals I created while new petals were popping up all around faster then I could move the older ones out of the way. One of the petals came less than a centimeter away from the skin of my arm, and it's proximity coupled with the sensation of something creeping over the exposed skin caused my to give off a single hard shudder. I hate insects.

The normal amount of petals I could make numbered close to the four to six hundred petal range. Just by looking at the clustered petals surrounding me on all side like a protective cocoon, I could tell that I had created way more petals than that. There could easily be a thousand petals crammed into the 15 meter area around me! I gave the crowd of petals a push with my chakra, trying to get them moving and it was slow going at first. I really needed to get the cloud stirred up in the direction I wanted them headed, and when they did finally get moving it was always sluggish at first, followed by powerful waves of petals that were hard to get stopped. Kind of like when you get a loaded locomotive headed straight at full speed; it takes a moment to get stopped.

I started to experiment with the petals, twisting the petals in separate directions, making sure to not allow the petals outside my range of control. They sparkled as they flew and twisted together, with random static discharges going off from inside the clustered petals. I compressed as many petals I could into two thick snake like whips. Then I moved them through the air around me, trying my best to get a hang on their movements and the physical motions required by myself to make them move in that way. I started picking up on the subtle motions after I put in a little time, things such as flicked wrists or bent fingers that would give me more control, and more speed.

Exhaustion was the only thing I felt when I was finished, not pain nor pleasure. I made the petals wink out of existence, quickly dropping to the ground and beginning a series of stretches, remembering the aches and pains my body experienced as a young kunoichi. When I trained, I liked to both heat up and cool down, and stretching played a big part in both for me. I could already tell which places would be sore because of the strain I placed on myself. I wanted to get both something to eat and something to drink, preferably water but not the dirty stuff that littered this area of a broken down village. Moment of truth was upon me, should I continue training, or take a break?

OOC: Hey, let's RP, this is my using up my NDE thread. And btw, you're gonna need Kini's permission for Rainfall Clones when he comes back. And sorry this is so late!

Senkou had been taking a scroll out, since it had been awhile since he could see the village in its current state. There was a lot to be said. He had gotten news of how bad of a state the village was in. When he rushed over, he had heard that a new Kage was trying his best to fix whatever it was that had happen. Then Senkou got mixed up with a strange turn of events before he had been able to come back. Wondering what the shinobi were doing, he then saw one of their own training from a distance. His eyesight was better than most and whatever jutsu that was happened to be quite noticeable out in this weather.

Casually pulling tricks off of thin wires and wooden walls with ease, he easily made his way to the shinobi, who he saw a female now that he had gotten closer. Seeing her finish her training, he stepped in just as she fell to the ground and started stretching. It didn't exactly seem to be the best time to test her strength, but nevertheless he wanted to see what her character was. He spoke indifferently, with a hint of the darkness from all his own experiences.

"Training hard, aren't you?"

[Distance Of Purity]

"Training hard, aren't you?" The voice came down on me while I stretched. I looked up searching for the source of the voice that carried a hard edge with it. A tall figure stood over me, wearing an all black ensemble that featured baggy pants and a black cap. Continuing to look him over, I could tell that something was slightly off about his skin color. I couldn't tell if he was sick or diseased as most people were in this poor country, or if it was something else entirely that had given him a pale bluish tint to his skin. Intriguing.
I sprung up from the ground quickly, slightly less graceful that what I was used to but that could be contributed to fatigue. I looked him up and down once more, noting in my mind that this guy was a bit attractive. If he was the type that was into girls, I might be able to use that to my advantage for whatever reason later on. I smiled at my own deviousness. He would probably think the smile was meant for him.
"Yea, you could say that." I said, responding to his earlier question.

A small gust of wind kicked up, tossing my hair into my face which I then tucked smoothly behind my ear. "I have never seen you around here before, what would your name be?" I asked of him, moving into his personal space and tapping my index finger on his chest, while keeping the warm smile plastered on my face. Information was definitely a commodity around here and if I wasted the time getting to know him, he might prove to be a valuable contact later on. Or he might be valuable for a million other reasons whenever they arose. Only one way to find out.

She stood in the shadow of collected rain grazing the sides of a crumbling brick facade; the village was hollowed out now, empty, alone. She knew the feeling too well, but was interrupted from an otherwise solemn isolation by the sound of chatter a few meters off in the distance. She moved cautiously, circling the loudest centralized locus of noise only to come upon a grouping of shinobi sharing some fallacy of friendship. Odd. She watched them speak, watched as the young woman intimated false seduction with moxie only a man could believe. A finger touched a chest, a revelation of coy ignorance masquerading as indecisive frailty, irritating and old as the dirt scabbed rock that separated them. She'd seen this done many times, attempted it herself, but her eight foot frame could not lend itself to the act of helplessness without arising suspicion. She observed silently for a few moments as the two spoke, not bothering to listen or caring enough to overhear. Within her mind was only Amegakure, that sad and pained scan of industry canvassed by a neon throng of light.

Minutes passed. She could not take her leave of the district without disturbing the preoccupied new acquaintances, and with some reservation, she stepped into the light and spoke.

Is there some reason people congregate here?

She asked coldly, though not by any intent of her own. She was unused to social interaction and had no other way to behave, no other question she could think to ask that did not seem like an accusation.

Are you survivors of the war, or new arrivals? Neither of you is familiar. Who are you?

She added without introducing herself. Thinking back on what she'd read of adjusting to the presence of others, she considered what actions might be considered impolite, and cocked her head to the right, eyes flickered back and forth between the two strangers quickly, before a brief concession.

I apologize for interrupting the beginnings of your social mating ritual.

Without emotion, without a smile, without the slightest hint of a facial expression.

[Saiyuki]

Unexpectedly, the girl had taken a more intimate approach to his sudden coming than he had expected. Certainly, he thought she was attractive, but he rarely had any romantic relations in his life, having lived through mostly training, betrayal and bloodshed. He had gotten a few...friends due to his time under the name of Tenreikouu, but now he rarely associated himself with others. Why he decided to now, even he could not find the answer to. He decided to hide his inexperience under a cool cover. Working as an assassin certainly helped since during those times he had to guard or erase certain men who were rather fond of women. He gave a slight smile, using more of his sharkish side than his human side.

"You can call me Senkou. I've been here and there...though I'm taking my time now to meet new people. And if I may ask, what is yours?"

He decided to keep his identity as a former Kage....well, more of steward than anything, a secret. He noticed another woman, also noticeably attractive, though she seemed like she did not care much of first impressions. Glancing at her and then back to the first girl, he noted their features were similar, reminiscent of the Sansutomu clan. He assumed so since he had worked with many in the past, but again he chose to keep this to himself as he had nothing to base it on but his intuition from experience. Neither one of them seemed to have been involved in the Revolution. He preferred this, since he'd rather leave his bloody past behind him. Turning to the newcomer, he spoke with a tint of pride in his voice.

"Shouldn't I ask who you are? That you don't even show respect to your superiors?"

He then noted her concession and chuckled to himself, glancing over at the first Sansutomu to see what her reaction would be. This girl was no doubt still in her teens, a bit young for the former Kage's tastes. Social mating? The idea humored him.

[Distance Of Purity]

"You can call me Senkou. I've been here and there...though I'm taking my time now to meet new people. And if I may ask, what is yours?" My smile widened with the realization that I had this guy right where I wanted him. I opened my mouth to speak but a different voice came out from behind me.
"Is there some reason people congregate here?" The voice sounded plain, uninfluenced by any emotion other than tolerance or boredom. I turned to find the source of the voice, only to have my vision filled by the swelling image of a giant woman. She had flowing red hair, and lightly tanned skin and she was wearing a white shirt, a black skirt and black knee high boots. She looked to be at least nine or ten feet tall, a true giant of a woman.

"Are you survivors of the war, or new arrivals? Neither of you is familiar. Who are you?" She continued in her preferred monotone voice. My head tilted to the side in confusion. The tall woman had the looks of a Sansutomu, a clan that I hated but was still a descendant of, but her eyes were jet black which would certainly be an abnormality for a Sansutomu since our eyes were almost always some shade of blue. Before I had a chance to say anything, Senkou jumped in with a line of his own.
"Shouldn't I ask who you are? That you don't even show respect to your superiors?" He spoke with an inner power that suggested he had either been raised in a proper household or he had held a position of power recently. How interesting that he had called himself the giant's superior. I could see that this man was just full of hidden stores of information and I would have to wait to see how this played out.

"I apologize for interrupting the beginnings of your social mating ritual." The girl said after a brief pause. Senkou seemed to think it was funny, as he responded with a light chuckle.
"Oh, no problems." I said with a grin. "Our social mating ritual hasn't started yet, that's later." I winked at Senkou, knowing I needed to keep things light and play to the humor he saw in this situation. "My name is Kaminari, although new friends call me Kami. My closer friends," I looked to Senkou as I said it, "call me Nari." I addressed both Senkou and the giant when I told them my name since they had both asked, however, I would not be giving out much more than that since it was I who was trying to get information, not the other way around.

Just then lightning cackled in the sky, a foreboding start to what was sure to be a heavy downfall of rain. I looked up to the sky, trying to gauge how much time we had before the rain would really start.
"We have about fifteen minutes before it starts pouring around here. I hope you guys don't mind getting a bit wet." I know I don't. I thought humorously to myself.

[♥ a s h u r a]

She'd seen the man's face before, and suddenly it came to her; a memorial in honor of past leaders, the original call to revolution, the breach in civility that left thousands dead and her home a fallen beacon of metal shards and ash. He had been the Amekage.

Superior? Small. Male. I cannot fathom how someone who has failed in his position as spectacularly as you believes that because he held some modicum of faux political power, he is deserving of anything more than contempt from even the lowest of criminals.

Look around you.

And she held up her hands, gesturing at the sparse brutality of architecture cradling them in decay. Her eyes bloomed with the full force of her kekkei genkai dojutsu, throwing a once bitter gray landscape into a halcyon pattern whose beauty would elude her in her anger.

See what your incompetence, or indifference, or inability has wrought. See what has become of the village you led. Superior? You are at best a shadow of a shadow, and as insubstantial and insignificant as...

Her storm colored eyes caught something through the rain; a pattern of energy, the bio-electric hum of life whining through the broken maze that was the cities remains. Movement and light, chakra and nearly tangible aggression. Something or someone was moving through the Village Hidden In The Rain, heading for the unlikely trio. They were moving fast, but hiding, and she watched with no small bit of interest as the energy within them ducked in and out of alleys, over rooftops displacing shingles and soot to the street, around and over and beneath.

...there are...

There are several...people...heading this way.

She moved to stand in front of the others, her hands moving slowly towards the demon blade that was Chouctou Reikki. She turned partially to say over her shoulder

They are armed and they are heading directly towards our present location, attempting to flank us. I do not believe they are Amegakure Shinobi.

She said, before speaking briefly again.

I am called Red.

Remembering a passage from her first edition A Guide To Social Etiquette she added

It was very nice to meet you both.

Before staring back in the direction of their attackers, face heavy with determination, hoping she'd used the right words.

I believe we may have to fight for our lives now.


Please do not die.


It would be immensely counterproductive.

[Saiyuki]

As he listened to Kaminari's answer, he decided to go along with this flirtatious game she was playing, though he would not let it lead to anything. Still, she seemed interesting, though her asset as a shinobi had yet to be seen. The other one, who would later introduce herself as Red, touched upon a nerve that no one save his war comrades had the right to. He laughed out loud at Red's accusations. This girl was speaking to him like that? This young ninja who had seen none of the traitorous and bloody deeds that had been done both for and against the village. What also surprised him was the fact that she knew who he had been, an absolute secret, unknown except to specific people who he had trusted while he had been Amekage. After he stopped laughing, he spoke with a soft but deadly voice.

"If you know nothing of the truth, don't speak. I do not care much of what you speak of me....But if you dare accuse my comrades of this..."

He waved his arm out into the ruined village.

"You will be punished for it...We rebuilt this village. Then we left it to your generation...and for what? I come back to see this? Can you even call yourself an shinobi of Amega...!"

With those eyes that could pierce the darkness, Senkou noticed a small group of people rushing at their direction, in a manner unfitting of either a civilian or an ally. He felt a tinge of anger in his heart. During his time, including that of his predecessor and his successor, intruders would die before they made it in this far. There was a lot of work to be done. First, they had to clean up this trash.

"As I'm the higher rank here, I'll take command here."

He performed a few hand seals to gather some information on their opponents, including every detail of their bodies and weapons, calling upon his mastery of the Sound Release. He also took into account Red and Nari when he used this technique. There were 4 enemies, moving a bit spread out but in a diamond formation as they approached the 3 Ame-nin. The one in the front seemed to be the leader, Senkou could tell he was older and his body went through a lot more than the rest had, no doubt having mastery in taijutsu. The one in the rear seemed a bit frail compared to the rest, perhaps a long range specialist? He had to be capable in order to hold the riskiest position. The ones on the right and left seemed to be balanced, it was hard to gauge their fighting styles.

"There are 4 enemies, approaching us from 1 o'clock in a diamond formation. Red, I trust you'll be able to take down their rear? And Nari, take down the guy on the left. You two will move together and support each other. Now, move!"

[Distance Of Purity]

Things quickly went from an easygoing afternoon, where I was training and possibly setting up some contacts, to a slight argument among strangers, until finally we were coming under attack by an unknown force. Sure enough the tall brute of a woman who had introduced herself as Red was a Sansutomu, I could tell by the doujutsu that now flowed freely in her eyes. That fact alone made me feel confident, since I was rarely incorrect.

Had I been confident enough to enter battle without exposing my doujutsu I would have, but being outnumbered and not knowing my opponent's or ally's skills was too much for me. I quickly activated my doujutsu, and the world around me burst into an array of colors. I could see the turbulence of the wind, the flow of the water and the erratic build up of electricity. It was times like this that I truly felt at one with nature.

Looking forwards I could see the four enemies quickly making their way to our position. They were making good speed, and would upon us in a few seconds. Senkou quickly tried to take command of things, giving out orders and intel. Normally I took orders from no one, but for the time being I would make an exception. He was using his man voice again. He told Red and I to stick together, I guess to try and build some semblance of teamwork. I turned to Red.
"Give me a little bit of space.... My jutsu take up a bit of space, and I would hate to see you get hurt." I said with my bes mock caring tone. It was then that she asked both Senkou and I to not die. This brought a wide smile to my face.
"Worry about yourself hun." I said with a giggle. Blood was rushing through my veins, carrying adrenaline through my body in preparation of battle. I loved this feeling.

As she relaxed her hand from the bane blade, the former Kage began to reply but his words would be obscured my movement and focus; merely a second and a half past the beginning of his tirade her hands had begun a series of seals that danced with primordial white light beneath the gaze of her dojutsu. A sound like hurricane winds laughing through the air built up behind her as the man from the rear would split into three clones, each holding a strange weapon and leaping towards her, the largest target, first. Flickers of burst chakra brought her triplicated assailant, close, closer, too close, and just as he was cnear enough to thrust forwards, fist outstretched and aglow with an unsettling dark energy clutching oddly shaped vibrating blades, Shurei brought her hands swiftly together, clapping.

The sound that followed would startle their other attackers momentarily; a sound like a dam splitting, the crunch of bone, the liquid wet cacophony of destroyed tissues crushed beneath the weight of things they could not yet perceive.

Two massive limbs crashed together with enough force to blow a hole through a mountain; two arms of pressure and wind and fury would bring the three together, as the true enemy was revealed along with his copies. His body had been crushed, his skull splintering into jagged off-white fragments that exploded through skin and made soup of his blood just as quickly. The movements had taken little time, as her mastery of Ninjutsu was clearly displayed, and as Kaminari finished her small taunt, Shurei's Kage assigned task would already be complete.

I am incapable of worrying.

She added quietly, for a moment afflicted by some unknown pain, a memory from the past, allowing her two circumstantial partners to finish off the remaining men in their own fashion.

Now that it was time for combat, Senkou decided to split their team of four. First he created two Halos with Tendrils, letting them hover right above the ground, where the enemy could not yet see them. Then he began to move, dashing away from the two genin. Using a single hand seal, the captain would lose control of his body as he signaled his man on his left (our right) to move according to Senkou's bidding, matching their pace with his. The former Amekage was not in a particularly good mood thanks to a certain genin.

If you dare invade Amegakure, then have a taste of all the pain it's been through.

The captain, under Senkou's will, would then seem to start his attack, leaping towards him. His underling followed, his katana thirsting for the Ame-nin's head. But he would be surprised, as his own captain, his leader turned around and delivered a punishing blow right into his gut. The tendrils of one Halo would then fire off, wrapping themselves around the winded attacker who had fallen onto a rooftop just below. The sheer number of them ensured that he was going nowhere. That was only the prologue to his despair. Senkou would then turn away to watch the other two fights as he gave one simple order to the helpless captain.

Torture your own comrade slowly with that katana of his and make it as painful as possible...

As he saw the rear target getting smashed between two giant fists of wind, Senkou thought to himself.

Perhaps I should have told them to capture instead of kill. Regardless, these two should be enough.

[Distance Of Purity]

Sounds of battle echoed around me. Both Senkou and Red seemed to have things in hand, and the carnage that Red produced awakened a dark part of my heart that had been silent for too long. As each of my temporary allies descended upon their chosen foes, I singled out the man who would be my enemy, approaching him in a hurry, even as my hands were making a string of seals. As I got close enough my plan to work, I could see a smirk plastered on the man's face, as if by seeing his opponent was a girl, he was assured victory.

The man rushed me foolishly, just as hundreds of blue white petals sprung up around me, sizzling the air with the voltage stored within them. The smirk quickly vanished, especially as he could see that my hand seals were not yet over. My serious demeanor changed as a toothy grin filled my face. I yearned to spill this man's blood all over the floor. In fact, you could say that I couldn't wait to spill his blood. It was, after all, inevitable. He halted his quick approach, coming to a skidding stop as he turned to try and get away from my attack but by this time it was entirely too late. The man had come too close.

Ten of the electrically charged petal paused in front of me for less than a split second, gaining electrically charged chakra, before springing off after my would be assailant. I aimed two petals for each of his limbs, one petal for the center of his back, and one more for the back of his peanut shaped head. All ten petals hit their marks, leaving my attacker a sizzling heap of twitching body parts. He struggled to rise, but his wobbly legs gave way underneath him. One more set of hand seals to finish the job. It was not in my nature to leave such a man alive. I had long ago learned to show no mercy in battle and this time would be no different.

I finished my last seals, feeling a moderate bit of fatigue as my chakra left me for my final attack. A single petal under my control fell onto the man's head, and I could see his eyes go wide with panic as he looked from me to the petal in quick succession. Oh, yes. I thought. Say your prayers. The single petal picked up power, glowing brighter until the power inside of it became too much for it's small form. The petal exploded, liquefying the man's head and launching his now raggedy corpse through the air and away from me. It was now that I looked around me, seeing the ease with which Senkou had defeated the two other ninja, while Red and I had both demolished the one's assigned to us. Judging by the fact Senkou hadn't killed his opposition, he probably meant to question them. My blood lust had made me overlook mercy, something I would have to work on in the future.
"Are you guys ok?" I would ask my allies with a sugary sweet voice.

I am perfectly fine.

She said in answer to Kaminari's inquiry. In the heat of conflict, with enemies dying around her, something changed. The cold spaces of her heart filled momentarily with warmth and her face broke into the tiniest of smiles. It made her more human, if only for a moment.

She turned in the direction of the male and noted that his attackers had been dispatched as well. She was surprised. He seemed unnecessarily authoritative for one who could be assumed to have any real power. Addressing the two as one, she straightened her hair and let her face return to its normal glum expression, speaking briefly as she walked into the rain.

You are both tedious, and your company has proved to be stressful. I will take my leave now.

Curtly, without malice, but still rude. She paused, turned back around to face them, and added from her readings

It was very nice meeting you. Have a 'super' day.

She looked back and forth between them quickly to register whether or not this was the appropriate response, before abandoning the task and briskly removing herself from their presence.

sorry guys, got alot on my plate, probably won't be able to keep up, so im gonna exit and let you two get on without waiting on me. good times though!

[Saiyuki]

Senkou looked over at his two victims, the fools who had dared to tread upon their territory. Deciding it was enough, he released his hand seal, but immediately had another halo send its tendrils over, completely sealing the captain's movements. By then he saw another shinobi, who seemed like he had come over to see what had happened due to the explosions and whatnot. It was his former subordinate, an ANBU who had retired and was just another shinobi. Using hand signals, the former Amekage signaled for him to take the two back to the current Kage and the prison interrogation room.

Once that was done and over with, he went over to where Nari was. She had ended her opponent's life rather spectacularly. Seeing that Red had decided to leave, he would make a mental note of her. Hopefully the two of them would become useful assets for the village, though Red was rather socially awkward. Turning back to Nari, who was back to her usual seductive self. There were still a few things he wanted to learn about her, such as the state of the Sansutomu now.

"Good job, I have someone who will come clean up this mess. Shall we go somewhere else?

[Distance Of Purity]

"Good job, I have someone who will come clean up this mess. Shall we go somewhere else?" Senkou asked very nicely. I ran my hands through the loose strands of my long hair, easily smoothing them over and calming myself from my adrenaline induced fury simultaneously, before turning around to respond.
"Hmmmm." I quickly gazed up at the large digital clock with a hand on hip, showing off my great figure without appearing to try too hard at being a beautiful female.

"Actually, I'm running late for a mission as it stands. But we can definitely take a rain check for another time." I told him while flashing a bright smile. "We'll call it a date, and don't worry about finding me, I'll find you." My bloodline allowed me to see a great many things that had to do with nature, and the weather. The human body was no exception. Once I gazed upon him with these eyes, I would have no trouble finding him later.

I turned and started running away from the powerful man, my feet splashing through some grimy puddles every three steps or so. "Later!" I called over my shoulder, just as the clouds opened up, and a heavy downpour began to hit the village. The fresh water falling from the sky erased the dank smell of still water, reminding me how much I loved when it rained. Damn, I love being right...

EXIT

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

ENTER


Trudging through the Amegakure streets Kireme once again approached the courtyard before the giant time piece. As he passed the last corner and wandered under a pipework archway he walked into the digital green haze. His white space suit shone under the electric light, illuminating him as though he were a child's glow in the dark toy. As usual he wore the disguise of his alter ego beneath the astro-suit, dark purple and glittering chrome hidden away like a strange secret.

His heavy boots carried him to the rickity bench in the midst of the ghoulish light and with a ruffling thump he dropped onto it. He was in a sour mood today, it was as though the air itself was tight and he gasped at every breath, as though a tangible gloom had swept over the village, as piercing and deep as the rain itself, finding its way into almost every nook and cranny in the city. His blocked nose wasn't helping his mood much either.

A note of irony passed through his mind the more he thought about the gloom of the city, indeed like rain it seemed to slick every inch on the place, yet where Kireme sat now was one of the places cloistered enough to receive only the slightest of precipitation. It was almost disconcerting for the rain ninja to suddenly be so relatively untouched by the rain yet still be outdoors.

He resolved to try and put himself into a better mood, and to do this he decided to try and occupy his mind. The first method he thought of for doing that would be to take stock of the personal equipment he had on him. In his main pouch he had three C-rank weapon scrolls, two of which were full of bo-shuriken and the other carrying his dai-senbon, two D-rank weapon scrolls, both filled with bo-shuriken, his small scroll with three coffins sealed within and 6 kunais. In his utility belt he had five frag grenades, three fire grenades, two stun grenades, two hundred and eighty five senbon, a walkie-talkie, a roll of tape, 30 zip-ties and fifteen hira-shuriken. Hidden in his alter egos helm was his goggles with underwater vision. Concealed under his bulky space suit was a set of gauntlets and grieves on his arms and shins respectively, BDU jacket and pants, a total of 45 feet of wire spooled on his waist and on his left hip was his buckler and sword and on his right (outside the suit) was his mace. The tedium did nothing to improve his mood sadly.

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

As Kireme sat there, bathing in the ghostly glow of the timepiece, his mind wandered as he tried to find something to occupy himself with. He twiddled his gloved thumbs together for a while before remembering an idea he once had, now seemed as good a time as any to try it.

The spacey ninja stood up and reached into a pocket at his side and drew out a trio of kunai from his equipment pouch. He set the knives atop the bench and then drew his hands together to begin a string of seals. As he molded his chakra for the task at hand he closed his eyes and tried to focus, it'd been a while since he last used this technique so it was still rather new to him. Once the seals were done he placed a hand atop on the kunai and released his chakra across its surface.

It took a few seconds to complete the spell and once it was done he removed his hand and observed his work. Across one side of the kunais blade was a mark that looked similar to a closed eye. Focusing on the seal with his mind suddenly Kireme lost sight in one eye and his vision shifted abruptly. The seal opened its eye and suddenly the astro ninja was staring both at his face and at the eye seal on his blade at the same time.

Pleased with his work he replaced the blade and began making the handseals once more and cast the spell onto another kunai, tested his vision through it, then placed it in his pouch before doing the same on the last kunai. His work done he kept the last kunai in his hand and fiddled with it as he sat back down on the bench, switching back and forth from his regular sight to through the seal. Lazily he sighed, exhaling a thick cloud and steam into the air.

Third Eye Seal Placement
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Places the seal on an area the user wishes
Special: handseals
Drawback: The user can only see through one seal at a time, and it requires 1 full turn to place it.
Description: Forming the hand seals, the user draws the seal on the surface they desire. Then infusing it with a small bit of their blood and chakra the seal is ready for use.
Limit: None

The Third Eye of Enlightenment
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to use one of the seals they have placed to see in a certain way.
Special: Handseals if the seal is outside the thread you are in, otherwise you may simply activate it with a small burst of chakra. A user may have multiple Facial Seal Series Seals active and working at once, but no more then one of the same type.
Drawback: the user looses the use of one eye while its in effect. The user can only see through one seal at a time
Description: This technique allows the user to deaden the optic receptors within one of their eyes, and instead reattach them over a long distance through their chakra to connect to one of their seals. With this they are able to use the seal as if it was one of their eyes. It is acceptable to “sacrifice” the site of a damaged or lost eye to use this so as not to sacrifice their bad eye. The chakra it takes when actually viewing through the seal is negligible.
Limit: No Shitakuma clan members may use this.
