Tokihaga [Quest]

[Coal]

[/I]

The words would enter the minds of all, whispering in their ears, speaking his words. He would move then, passing through the people to hear what they spoke, keeping his eyes open for those immune to his genjutsu, for those would be the Uchiha. If such a person with knowledge would present himself, he would persuade him accordingly, by whatever means necessary. His senses alert, for the estranged drunk that might feel like picking a fight, or the individual that may have figured out his plan and might wish to have violent words with him. Aside from such, he was focused.[/ul][/font]

[Kvasir]

As the minds of those drinking and socializing nearby would be infiltrated by the Uchiha's whispers technique, small murmurs and slight movements would be heard as several would make slightly audible or visible reactions to the technique before abandoning the thought. The exact words of the audible reactions would either be ineligible or unheard by the ninja as others under the technique would either ignore it or not notice the whispers as they continued in their activities. It would only be a short few moments before a young barmaid influenced by the Genjutsu would react, nervously shifting, nearly tripping into a table, and changing her path of travel to a doorway across the building.

There was no doubt that the alert ninja would notice this behavior; the real question was what would be done in light of this activity?

[Coal]

[/b] her with his eyes, paralyzing her where she would stand. If he should succeed, he would begin to move backward, placing his hand upon the door and opening it to the street, commanding her to follow and they would leave; regardless of any protests.

[Should there be success]

Outside he would command her to follow again, as well as to point out the direction to the nearest alley way, where they would step within the shadows in order to ‘converse‘. His commands were simple things, merely wishing for her to tell him where she had heard of the Tokihaga, as well as where he could find it. Nothing to harm herself, and then she would be let free in order to follow this lead. As always, he had the feeling that this might lead him to another, which would be more difficult to wrest information from, yet he was willing to deal in the trivial for a prize that would grant him greater power than he now possessed.[/ul][/font]

[Kvasir]

The quick movements of the ninja would produce changes quickly. "Eeei!" The split moment which the Uchiha would appear in front of the barmaid she would squeak in surprise for a split moment before falling to the sharingan's hypnosis technique. Several people around the bar would turn their attention to the sudden outburst and a few would stand. As the woman seemed to willingly follow the ninja out of the musty bar, the attention would draw back away from the sudden event and exit.

At the end of the short walk and upon the command to speak, the barmaid would speak hesitantly about the Tokihaga and it's smith. "T-the smith of the Tokihaga is my father's friend." With a slight swallow she would finish, clearly attempting to resist but unable to stray from the hypnotic command. "I-i don't know where he is... a-and I can't remember his name... b-but I know that's him." Beyond this she would say nothing and do nothing except attempt to gaze at the sharingan, hypnotized beyond words.

[Coal]

[/I] Keeping her hypnotized and docile, he would voice to her another question, this one of a little more import. His feet would shift and he would come close to her face, their noses nearly touching, or would be if she had been as tall as he was. He had cupped her chin with his index and thumb, bringing her head up to continue to look into this gaze without breaking, to keep her full attention. This was also a ploy for anyone who might be passing by, looking as if the two were lovers, merely sharing an intimate moment beside a building. He would speak to her softly, commanding her to tell of her father‘s whereabouts, so that he may ask him in person. Once she released this information to him, he would release her from his hold, pulling away as if they had just kissed; his eyes having returned to their normal crimson without the tomoe. Perhaps she would believe they had shared a moment and he would send her on her way.[/ul][/font]

[Kvasir]

The ninja would move in close to the barmaid, whose hypnotized state would only allow her to stare upward into his eyes and answer. "H-he's likely at work, a-at the 'Daltone's' noodle restaurant about four blocks in that direction." She would gesture toward the ninja's right, diagonally away from the barmaid herself. Then, if the Uchiha would cancel the technqiue and pull away from the act, the barmaid's eyes would readjust for a moment as she would look around in confusion. "W-what just happened?" In another moment she would take off in a similar, yet differing direction as the direction she had said the restaurant was located at, turning a corner around the alleyway and likely out of sight.

[Coal]

[Kvasir]

It would take only a short time for the Uchiha to reach the building in question and nothing would take place between. As the ninja would enter the building a young man at the counter would ring a bell upon the counter. Another few moments later he would greet the ninja in a fairly typical fashion. "Welcome to Daltone's, I'll be with you in just a moment." There would be only a few other people in the shop and yet the young worker would turn away from the ninja and simply wait, neither addressing another customer nor working on anything.

At nearly the same moment, another man would walk into the shop with similar features to the barmaid and a terrible hobble in his right leg. Similarities could be seen with the brown wavy hair, fairly large nose, green eyes, and full jawline even though the man was larger, generally more masculine, and had shorter hair then the barmaid. He'd step up to the right of the ninja and sit down in the stool next to him, giving a small motion to the worker. Quickly, two bowls of hot seasoned noodles would be given to both the ninja and the man as the worker handed them out after pulling them from a boiling broth within sight. With this, a greeting would be initiated as the man's gruff voice spoke. "The name's Daltone, you must be the one who's looking for the Tokihaga."

[Coal]

[Kvasir]

As the Uchiha activated his eyes it would become apparent to him that the worker and one of the guests would be watching the conversation. The false customer held a hand upon his sheathed blade in preparation even though Daltone still seemed relaxed. Daltone would shake his head as he watched the sharingan activate and listen to the ninja's words, being calm as he clearly recognized the pattern. "My daughter and those eyes huh? So that must be how you found me and my connection to the Tokihaga." He'd take a bite of his food before continuing, slurping up the last bit of noodles hanging from his lips. "But your assumption is wrong, she told me nothing. You told nearly everyone at that bar that you are looking for a wanted man, did you really think you wouldn't be noticed?"

It was a striking question, especially sense the Uchiha would have no prior knowledge of this. But with a wave of his hand Daltone would shoo the topic away, changing it by speaking again. "Never mind that. To answer your question: I know where Ashura, the smith of the Tokihaga, is located at." He'd once again take another bite of noodle before finishing his statement. "Why do you want to know?"

[Coal]

[Kvasir]

Daltone would abandon his noodles upon hearing the Uchiha's words, visibly pondering within his own thoughts. "Hmm... what to do..." He'd continue to remain fairly relaxed, staring toward the ceiling as he thought. "You must see my predicament, as even if I want to help you there is no way to prove you aren't hunting for Ashura's bounty... un-" Daltone would be interrupted by a man running through the curtains of the shop, standing next to him before speaking openly. "Daltone, there are bounty hunters on their way here; they're looking to collect for both you and Ashura."

With a slight nod from Daltone the man would run back out and away from the shop. Daltone himself would stand up with a small grin, stepping away from the shop's bar as he spoke. "It's your lucky day Uchiha, follow me if you want to find Ashura." With this he would step through the cloth veil and out of the building, moving onto the street quickly.

[Coal]

[/right]

He would place a threatening hand upon the hilt of his blade, the Sharingan Eyes still active, three tomoe peering out at them.[/ul][/font]

[Kvasir]

Upon stepping out of the shop, three men would approach down the street. As the fighters met within 20 meters of one another the street began to clear out, able to see what was going to happen here. The Uchiha's words would be met with scorn, being disregarded by the two older men that stood on each side who wielded a short sword and a large shield each, similar to one another standing on opposite ends but with some differences.

"You have no right to tell us what to do."

"Yeah, we're real warriors, get lost kid."

The third would be the clear leader, noticing the entire situation quickly with the active and entirely white Byakugan which stood in clear sight. His other eye would be covered by a eye patch and his weapons would remain sheathed for the moment as he spoke. "So you've made a new friend Daltone? Just when I was about to take you in as an accomplice to Ashura? Too bad, we'll have to kill him too." He'd grin and step back, the two other warriors would step forward and charge through the street.

Daltone would step back as the two shielded warriors would attempt to attack in tandem, clearly used to working together. The first would charge straight forward and strike with a diagonal slash and thrust combination attack; the second would move to the Uchiha's right side and slash left to right, from the Uchiha's back to his front, and then strike diagonally while the first attacked. Both would aim to trap and destroy the Uchiha quickly, it was clear that these fighters where not here to play games.

[/center]

Houkou would rip the blade from the man‘s body in a violent fashion, kicking it simultaneously at the second warrior. In that instant, he would vanish from sight, appearing directly behind the second warrior. His blades would cross horizontally, one high and the other low, to take off the head and cut the body in twain [Attempt]. Should all go according to plan, only the man with Byakugan would remain, and a true battle could ensue.[/ul][/font]

[Kvasir]

The first warrior would be ill prepared for the sudden attack, failing to raise his shield in time to prevent the steel from penetrating his side as the blade struck the shield as it sank through flesh. A deep guttural sound would be produced as the blade would abscond from his body, the body being launched toward the second man who would push it aside and allow it to fall to the ground in a bloodly heap. Yet even this would not allow him to stop the decapitating attack that followed, slicing through the neck as the Uchiha appeared behind him. A headless stump would be produced as the end result, collapsing to the ground in a bloody mess on top of the first body.

The Hyuuga would grin at the sight of slaughter, as he had expected no fight from a limping old war veteran and yet here was someone capable of deftly destroying two men; his expectations of a boring hunt had been wrong due to this Uchiha. As the first man would be killed, the man would move his eye patch from his left eye to his right one, covering the Byakugan and exposing a hollow eye socket. With this the Hyuuga would draw two blades and drop into a stance, watching as the second man would be decapitated before acting.

With a sudden movement, he would seem to vanish from his standing position and launch forward towards Houkou with his right blade while keeping the other at his side, appearing only two meters from his target before leaping at him; the sudden attack would produce a powerful shock-wave as the fighter made his way close to his opponent, roaring out at the Uchiha as he attacked.

[Kvasir]

The only bystander on the entire street would be Daltone, who would watch from a short distance away at the two swordsmen fought at high speeds. Most would fear standing so close to a battleground, yet the man seemed to enjoy it in reminiscence of his own lust for battle.

*Fwoo!* The Uchiha would vanish in much the same way as the Hyuuga had previously and just as the Sharingan could see the movement of the Hyuuga, the Byakugan could see the movements of the Uchiha. He could see his start and stop within an instant and plan his own defense and assault, watching as the Dragon Hammer Strike would begin to take place.

*Fwoo!* With a single press against the ground the Hyuuga would instantly vanish to all but the incredibly Sharingan, his movements would place himself next to his attacker in mid air. The ground where the dodged attack would hit would burst from the attack, launching dust into the air with a gust of wind. As both swords would cross horizontally in rhythm three times at the Uchiha in mid air, first high, then low, then across the middle, a challenge would be stated. "Too bad your eyes are inferior to mine!"

(OOC: Byakugan doesn't need prediction to 'track' high speed movement, he can see where you where and where you travel to in a single moment with 360 degree vision HAX! =3)

The Hyuuga's two blades would meet the Uchiha's single blade, a ring of metallic sound would be produced as the counterattack came forward. Without the prediction abilities of the Uchiha, the Hyuuga believed that he had no way to win this fight currently; abandoning his weapons to avoid death as he fell backwards and the Uchiha's right hand blade sliced through a portion of his face. A trail of blood would fall as the Hyuuga did, a loud *thud* would sound as he would hit the ground below; The Uchiha's remark from the ground thirty meters away would resonate within the fallen Hyuuga.

Quickly using one hand to stand up, the left side of his face bleeding profusely and the eye-patch having been cut off his face, the Hyuuga would yell at the Uchiha. "I've had enough with your Sharingan crap! Your eyes mean nothing!" This was not the man's true feelings in fact, as though he spouted hate against the opposing Doujutsu there was something for stronger fueling his actions: Envy. "I am Ivan Roujin Hyuuga! You and your blood will pay for their ignorance!" With this, the man would dissipate from sight; even with the predictive Sharingan it would be nearly impossible to have prevented him from doing such.

From behind the Uchiha a small amount of one-man clapping would ensue, Daltone would be applauding the ninja on his fight. "Don't worry about him, you did a wonderful job taking those three hunters out."
