Rai-Tora [The Siege of Lightning Tiger]

[yara]

begin the r a g e

Bold footsteps protruded the forest of kinsmen. Grass and treetops shifted to and fro diligently to the grand wind which swept past the senju residence frequently. Yosuke was prince, and his entrance to this same villa usually meant he was here to for the purposes of power. He appeared slowly with no shirt, his lower body covered by red shodai armor. Gekigami rested alongside this armor, gold hilt and red handle. Surrounded by forestry and silence he awaited his kinsmen, but none showed. The awkward shoulder of aloneness beat upon yosuke’s back. ”something is amiss.” he said aloud although his voice would never reach any barrier. He had anticipated being alone because he hadn’t noticed anyone of his arrival but he did not anticipate the forest to be alone. With a quick tread he hastily moved throughout the arms of the forest attempting to rid himself of this empty feeling.

Yosuke’s silver optics rid themselves of vision for just a second to reminisce in the training of his brethren. There were many of techniques that were being taught and one in particular he remembered very well. ”Gosunkugiwana” parted from his lips as he forced himself to remember the hand seals which was being taught with the technique. His fingers indulged one another by grasping each other within their respected gaps. Middle finger was placed beside middle finger; pointer finger to pointer finger; thumb to thumb. Their images were like blurs in the shade so his tactics were surely hidden. What wasn’t hidden however was the green rim of chakra circulating right behind him as he dashed along within the woods.

More flashbacks came to him from his previous training those many years ago. He had been trampling over wooden creations, earthen creations, and water-like substances which were aimed at ripping him to shreds. All these creations were manifested in god-like forms but lightning tiger pushed through them with blood and sweat masquerading every inch of his pore. Gosunkugiwana was one of the techniques which held him baffled for long enough moments that he was stricken with recoil. Deadly spike traps lay along the bottom of it and there was no way to get over the pit except to jump. But what caused even more confusion was that there were more than one prepared. All around him circles of chakra protruded from beneath his feet in order to trap him within the tiniest of corners.

Yosuke was not one to fret nor give up in situations such as these so he did all that he could to escape by letting himself….fall victim to the traps. He used the rose from around his neck to latch onto the tree tops over and over, snatching it back and flicking his wrist to snag along to yet another branch. The training was very vigorous but he learned one thing from it all, and that was how to perfectly ensnare someone within the pitfall. There was a time and a place to use such a trap and there was no easy way of performing it at the right time. As the flashback ended Yosuke found himself staring into the skies with his hand trickling across the rose across his neck. A prize from the chuunin exams, his life, was represented within that rose.

[/ul]

The snap of a twig from yosuke’s flank quickly reached his ears in time enough to tell that someone was in fact following him. As he turned he saw men wrapped in white garments standing before the trap he had made. Was it fate or luck which made Yosuke train such a technique? The spikes beneath were sharp and razor tipped with such pinpoint that the suns light reflected off of it. His silver optics raided their silhouettes in attempt to figure out who the hell they were. With just three more hand seals a second ring would be set to the mens flank. It would fall instantly, trapping those white cloaked men within a thin line of earth. They moved not. In his eyes they seemed like zombies, unaware of what fear really was. But they would soon know what that meant.

You suck at CoD, I mean Learned xD

[yara]

have I even played CoD with you? Lol.

“Hello Prince, we are of the Angels and of the Mongoose. We have combined forces in the time of your disappearance, just as your parents wanted. We would like to speak with you personally about… leadership.” The one in front said. He held no marking of dominance along his cloak but he surely did within his powerful boast. Yosuke’s eyebrow cocked up. “Hmm…. You know my parents? Who the hell are the Mongoose and Angels and what have you done with my kinsmen…?” he responded in rage. His lips twirled to the upper left in a snarl as his eyes stayed competent. The earth beneath the pit slowly boiled into a muddy substance after the placement of three more seals along his palm. Gaia’s true form within earth and water, mud, bubbled and boiled beneath the few which stood proud amongst one who wasn’t so intimidated; Yosuke.

“We have been here for quite some time now. It seems their prince was in need of them after all. I am sure if you came with us we could work out some sort of agreement as to where your cousins reside.” Yosuke didn’t like that. It was a threat nonetheless and he was easily taunted with them. Its as if these men knew how to get under his skin. “Ahh…I see….” He responded in mockery, pulling gekigami out of her resting place then afterwards pointing her tip at the speaker. “I don’t need to know where they are. You’re going to tell me that either way” he said throwing his hilt in the air and placing his sword in the ground for but a moment. “There has to be some way to distract them all so that I can grab him..” he said to himself looking around hastily as his hands beckoned forth to dance. Chakra stewed out of him monstrously after his attempt was recognized.

“That’s it…!” he shouted with the look of startle upon his wrinkles. A ground shaking vibe pounded the atmosphere as the tiger of lightning manifested his chakra into an earthy substance. A jet of mud intruded the air with vigor and speed to such an extent that a soft whistling murmur could be heard before the actual strike. Mud engraved the few that stood between the two earth traps. The hilt which had been left dangling within the air then served it’s purpose as yara used a kawarimi in order to replace himself with the position it was in. The view was blocked off but they still didn’t move, yell, or panic. This seemed vaguely odd to the prince as he’d never encountered such a bold group before. Were his moves thus far predicted to such an extent that they needed to not move? Blasphemy. His sweat, like raindrops, glistened off of his skin as he landed atop of one of the cloaked figures.

Bones, that’s what it sounded like at least, snapped grimly beneath his soles as he began to pivot along his tip toe ravaging gekigami within his hand and palm. As the earth spewed, he spun in perfect circular motion allowing the tip of the blade to dig within the tissue of their sides. After a complete 360 the senju made a halt, his eyes blistering eyelids as he watched in fear. What he’d thought was blood was mud, even the cloaks melted into the gooey substance. “shit!” he responded. His feat was at fault and his attempts were seen before he could even make them. He was now stuck within a hardened mud and his limbs could not even budge. “Ah…now that we have you at a better view and understanding… how about we talk about this…negotiation.” The cloaked man reappeared along a tree just a meter away from him.

Gekigami swiftly left his fingertips, he could no longer keep his grip along her hilt. “Fine..” he began with a startled voice. “What is it that you want?” Soon after the man would chuckle slightly before pulling off his hood. Two burgundy oculars stared at him with courage. White hair and scars amassed his face. The most significant piece to his look was not just his bloodline trait, it was the kunai which hung neatly within the center of his torso. The name… Yarasohyo carved within it’s edge. The prince’s heart began to pound instantaneously. That name was the name of his father and that kunai was said to be lost within the grand sea…. How is it that this man had it? And more importantly, how was it that this man had it hanging around his neck? Coincidences like this happened only in comic books….

“First things first. I will train you…” the man cooed with vigilance trapped underneath his tone. “Hnh…” Yarasohyo responded; confusion draping his famine. “Train me what?” he responded soon after. The chuunin always took advantage to learn more if it meant he’d grow in strength. Luckily for the grey haired fool Yarasohyo was easily bribed. The man cracked a devilish grin as he swept through hand seals as if they were memorized years before. His hands crackled like thunder and was swifter than sound. Sohyo looked at the seals as much as he could; the blur screwed with his eyes to an extent. The gray haired man stampeded his hands upon the earth, shifting his chakras in and out of every crevice. The world stopped for but a moment as the earth yawned forth a plethora of senbon into the skies.

“Doton no Senbon!” he yelled with seniority in his lungs. His eyes, bright burgundy, shifted in circles as he bellowed forth the name of the technique; his voice matched the heavens trumpet at an equal boast. The one they called Rai-Tora, purred in delight. Silver pools drifted to his left and right to see that he was free. With those two hands he kneeled down to pick up his hilt and sword to reattach it along his hip. As he did so the elder Uchiha smacked his hands together a several times to rid the dirt from his wrinkled palms. “The key is to know your surrounding… to feel the earth between the ridges of your fingers. Then and only then may you perform Doton no Senbon. It requires concentration like no other and in time you may complete such a feat without even moving…” the Uchiha darted, throwing his words to the senju swiftly and calmly.

Sohyo perked his lips up in discomfort, the man definitely had no sense of respect for a guy of high rank. “Yeah, I’ll give it my best shot..” he responded in his rebellious tone ; head cocking to the side as he pursued his rant. The senju closed his eyes momentarily to allow himself concentration – he needed to remember exactly what hand seals were made. Though it seemed like a blur he could depict out which seals were made as none of the seals looked alike when you were experienced within ninjutsu. Slowly but surely, one by one, he made the seals. The uchiha bounced a little off of the branch, watching the boy manifest his chakras slowly.. keying his every move as if he were studying him. “Good. You have memorized the seals, now ration your chakras to your palms before moving onto the next step..” he whispered.

Rai-tora bit his lip and quirked his eyebrows in attempt to shift his chakras directly to his palms. To him it felt as if a cloth was slipping down his hand diligently, smoothly wrapping around his hand. Once he had completed the transition of chakra he took one knee and placed it within the mud around him to find a hard and earthy spot. “Place your hands along the earth and feel it’s energy. Know where you are and know where your chakra resides. Once you have done so, release your chakras into the ground… and summon forth it’s power…” replied the gray haired man. Rai-tora never broke concentration, his eyes steadied along the gaia beneath him and pushed his hands through the earth… feeling it’s warmth and calmness. Once he had grasped a hold on the earth he then lubricated his chakras like manure along the ground.

“Now release….” He demanded with authority, spit wrangling through his teeth as he spoke. The senju released the chakra he had combined forth into his hands and let them reek within the soil. His chakras resonated; they formed around one general area before the senbon began to push out slowly as if he were causing pressure to summon them forth. “heh..!” he exclaimed, watching as his senbon floated into the air with diligence. “good, good. You have done well as a pupil thus far. Now you must launch them at your will…” he said calmly, jumping down from the treetops to place himself alongside yarasohyo. A friction of some sort could be felt between the two as the senbon were leeched along the trees of the forest of kinsmen. Sohyo looked up at him calmly with curiosity as to what he would learn next.

prepare for the h u n t

“Before you go on and give me some other lesson about mud, can I learn what technique you used on me? The one which hardened me so quickly?...” Sohyo demanded; pools of grey bending to his will. “Yes. I will teach you to harden mud only when you learn how to create it perfectly so that it is an unstoppable feat,” the Uchiha responded. “You may call me… Songei…” he responded with a smirk. “How fast do you think a bunny can run..?” Songei quickly stated, smiling. The white cloak he’d worn was placed along the ground, the uchiha wanted more freedom now that he’d been heated up. For an old man he was very muscular, taijutsu specialist toned with ancient scars tattooed abroad. His pants were dojo and he wore no shoes… a true earth bender who felt the earth within the soles of his feet.

“Follow me..” he said, his voice carrying within the wind that caressed his absence. The shunshin was unmatched in speed compared to Sohyo’s, whose speed had not yet reached the potential of the old man. Still, as quickly as he could, he darted forth following Songei whose hands flickered just as fast as he. As he caught up Sohyo delved into his senses, feeding himself the information he needed in order to create the next technique. Songei performed the dance with such mastery that he needed not stop his pace to mold his chakras. To his sides, protruding from the ground, rabbits of the silky earth rose up from the ground already running as if they had started underground. Their speed matched theirs of the master, listening to his thoughts and reacting off of them entirely. Upon their horizon a grand structure began to rise overhead and cast its shadow.

The bunnies would crash upon the broken gravel laid upon the streets of the senju residence. A campfire burned, reminiscing in the days before today. “What happened here…?” Yarasohyo questioned. His eyes danced to and fro the compound; every house and every residence empty of life. Bodies of his kinsmen tattered the ground and blood spewed forth like mist. Songei’s eyes never left one spot upon the compound; he looked at the footprints staggered in the dirt, grasping hold of his chakras through dance. Rai-tora copied this movement in exact movement, no seal staggered and his chakras remained under control. Creations of mud ate their way out of the ground only to shake the rubble off of their smooth skin. They scratched their ears and licked their noses before looking up towards their masters.

Sohyo had only one thought which seemed to tickle his interest; tracking those footprints. Him and his creations moved within the crevices of every house, following the footprints. What was odd to him at first was that there were no signs of life; in human or animal. It definitely smelled like a setup to him, but who was to blame? Silver pools shined at the Uchiha, already aware that he was not a friend, less so a comrade. The earthen bunnies tiptoed close to their creator reading his every thought. A few of them ran off course behind him, to try and blend in with Songei’s creations. Sohyo felt strong within the absence of the bunnies though they were only 1 foot in length and width. Their bodies were small but their movement was quick and precise. “So, you never did tell me your name….Senju.” barked Songei just before the tracks ended within a few meters of a grass patch and disappeared.

Finally, the grim feeling had once more come back to him – had he really allowed the Uchiha to trick him so cleverly? A dumbfounded look returned Songei from Yarasohyo; the calm wind resided within his feet idle and bewildered. His bunnies had darted off right before he could, prancing and dancing the battle field as if they were in slow motion. Songei’s creations looked more fearsome and older, but with lots more wisdom. They sat hesitant for a moment without any movement. They would not move for long however, the bunnies Sohyo had seen before hand had begun to infiltrate and attack the Bunnies within the back. It was bunny war. The muddy messes splattered over the place like wildfire; they crashed and bumped into each other furiously and afterward splashed into their earthly forms. Songei quirked his brows momentarily; “What is it that I’ve done for you to attack me so bluntly?” Songei thundered.
