The Kazeraikou mansion [NDE]

[Aoshi]

But before the festivities could begin, the Hokage appeared through the navigation of his personal guard. Obsidian locks swayed gently as his stride was a rather brusque one, news of the upcoming Exams doing its part to ensure that he would find motivation enough to garner the participation of the shinobi. This would leave him to have sought out Higan. Though their last mission had been cut short by the children and orientation, he figured that this was as good a time as any to ensure that the young Genin was well-prepared. Aoshi lifted a hand in greeting to Kohaku and the others. But shortly thereafter, a serious gaze fell onto Higan.

"Your assistance is needed. There are a few things that need to be taken care of, and I can't be bothered to do them alone." Before protest could be brought, however, he turned and began to make his way back into the distance. He spoke up, loud enough so that the ninja could hear his words.

"That's not a request, by the way."

With that, he moved without hesitation.

- exit -

[hagane]

Hagane was prepared to introduce himself as he managed to make his way to meet his new sensei, before the Hokage arrived, making note of his need. Without a thought in mind otherwise, Hagane looked towards the group before him.

"I guess I'll introduce myself when I return."

And with that, Hagane made his way to follow the Hokage towards his new destination.

[exit]

[A I R O N T O K U]

Great before the door opened, my worst nightmare just had to turn up. I glanced at him once, but didn't say a word. What I wanted to say was more along the lines of fuck off but nothing seemed to come out. But when another much short fucker approached us before running his little mouth off. His attire was perhaps slightly better than Ryuichi's but not by much. But the words coming out of his mouth made me regret not buying any weapons. Two seconds in and already I wanted to kill the fucker.

“Hold you back? Wow that's rich coming from a small half-pint brat. Fuck off back to mommy and go learn some proper manners!” I snapped, turning to face him in a threatening manner. But when he opened his disgusting little mouth again, my right eyebrow twitched, yet my facial expression remained carefully neutral. “Oh, like I'd ever date or fuck that, ha! In his dreams.” I said tartly before stepping forward until I was roughly five inches away from the kid's face.

“Better watch what you say, kid. I am a very dangerous person, so if you fuck with me, I will kill you,” I say, straightening my posture and staring down at him with a sly grin, “Or at least make your life a total misery, you pathetic little shit!” I said before the door opened. Mother-fucking-titty-sucking-two-balled bitch. He will get what's coming to him, trust me. A middle-aged man had began speaking before the kid could even get a chance to open his fly-trap of a mouth and had lead us all though a large hall and out into a patio to where a white haired man was seated at a table sipping what smelled like tea.

So this was Gosei, the former Hokage. I approach the table without speaking but does not sit down. The scene of the yard was breathtakingly beautiful, and for a moment my gaze lingered a little too long to the point when I almost forgot to speak. Almost forgot. Snapping my gaze back to the Godiame, my expression a careful emotionless mask. “Gosei-san,” I began speaking, forgetting formalities. “I have no intentions in wanting to become a part of this team.” I said haughtily, raising my head to the point when Gosei would be seen through my nose.

“Reasons are simple. One, Ryuichi and I have nothing in common, and he gets on my nerves. And two,” I said, pointing to the much shorter piece of shit standing to my left (sorry if your not, I'm seeing this as if I am standing in between Ryuichi and Hagane). “This piece of shit, is a hot-shot who looks as if he isn't even old enough to be a Shinobi.” I said matter-of-factually before folding my arms. I had no intentions in staying here any longer so I made an attempt at turning around and began to head in the direction of where I had come when the now Hokage had turned up.

His greeting toward me was the same as it was when I had visited the tower. A faint blush filled my cheeks, not that anyone would notice due to my skin naturally being tinted red. “Hokage.” I said in response before continuing toward the exit, not caring that the little fag didn't stick around once the Hokage left.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Ryuichi watched as the young male approached and was about to greet the new arrival when he began to open his mouth, and spout off about how he hoped Ryuichi and Kohaku wouldn’t hold him back. Taking the cigarette out of his mouth a letting a long trail of smoke free, he sized the runt up, and figured that he must have been bluffing about his “skills” for the most part. However before Ryuichi could start speaking Kohaku began to tear into him.

Then the little kid said that he hoped they wouldn’t make out in front of him which made Ryuichi laugh loudly expecting Kohaku to kill the little person. When she didn’t, he put the cigarette back in his mouth and wiped a tear from his eye, it was then that the older gentleman opened the door and said that the former Hokage was waiting for them on the patio, and then lead them there. Before entering the building, Ryuichi would take the cigarette out, push the burning tip against the wall to put it out and then flicked its unlit end away.

When they arrived, Ryuichi sat down in a chair noticing that there was a pot of tea and a few cups, he took a cup and poured some tea into it. He then took a sip much to his enjoyment, and pulled out his pack of cigarettes “Mind if I smoke?” He then tilted the top towards the Hokage and offered him a stick too. It was then that the Hokage had begun to speak about a test for them. Ryuichi would put an unlit cigarette into his mouth, waiting for permission to light it.

When he asked them to introduce themselves another man came into the room, the current Hokage that Ryuichi had heard of, for some reason he wanted the little runt that was with the group, why he wanted that loud mouthed asshole Ryuichi would never know. He simply shrugged and waited for the two to leave before he started. Though before he could Kohaku began to speak about not wanting to be on the team with him and the other guy, then she started to leave. Ryuichi would grab her arm and put his foot down on this, and whispered to her “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, don’t let it go to waste, learn from the man imagine how strong you can be, and how much sooner we can go for the Lava seal.”

Ryuichi would then let go of her and finally speak “I am Ryuichi Shirahama, I am a genin from the Kasutā clan, I specialize in Fire and Earth Ninjutsu, I also have an appreciation for Taijutsu. As for my likes, I enjoy a good cigarette, maybe the occasional drink of good beverage, other than that, well get me some good beverage and we’ll talk.” Ryuichi gave a lopsided grin at the former Hokage and at Kohaku if she had stayed, he then looked to see if Kohaku would speak or if she was leaving or had left already.

[hagane]

[enter]

Hagane had re-entered the establishment, guided in by a butler of sorts, like the earlier one as he proceeded back to where everyone else was.

"I am Hagane. Higan, Hagane. Pleasure to meet you sensei."

He said as he walked in, acting clever and cool before he turned to his team mates again.

"Oh, and hello to you two lovely young lovebirds once more. I hope you informed our sensei of your budding relationship."

Hagane uttered with a smirk, he was going to ride that little pressing point on his new teammates for as long as he could to see how they responded. As well, he made sure to incorporate Gosei-sensei into the little game as well, just to further amuse himself.

[Solus]

F

rom the grey clad youth an honest offering came, but with a raised hand Gosei politely rejected the cigarette. "I don't mind, as long as you don't smoke inside the house." Few people could move through the house unopposed, not even the current Hokage, but apparently James had led him in, as Aoshi came to collect Higan and left again before the Kazeraikou had any chance to acknowledge his presence. Whatever transpired after they left together, it would not be long until Higan returned, just in time for the introductions.

Just as predicted at least one felt like making a scene. It was from all people the one she declared to 'get on nerves' who tried to pull her back with sweet words. And then there's number three, Higan, who seemed like all he wanted was to see the world burn, throwing more fuel onto the proverbial fire. "Might it have occurred to you that you are in this team together because you have nothing in common? And as for the other, doesn't that make him a prodigy?"

Taking another sip Gosei stared at the blue sky above for a second, pondering on what kind of quest he had embarked this time. He ten reverted his oculi to the garden and those within it. Higan had remained standing, whereas the lady seemed intent on leaving. It was only Ryuichi who recognized the pleasures of the good life and sat down for tea with a smoke. "Welcome to the team, everyone, even you Kohaku, for you have no choice in this matter. If you cross that doorstep over there I will consider it insubordination and I shall act appropriately." No change in the voice of the Godaime could be heard when he said his last line, although the very threatening undertone would be very clear. This would the one and only warning the young lady would get, if she would try to push it even a little further the vengeance from the Dragon of Konoha would be exacted with ruthless precision. "Also it is not nice to call your team member a 'piece of shit'. But we shall discuss that later."

Placing his hand over his cup Gosei would swerve it around a bit, causing a little vortex to appear in the hot liquid within. "This team is no joke. You might be Genin now, but doesn't mean you are anything. As of now, each of you is weak. When your time in this team is over that will be different. Until then you will respect your team members and treat them as you want to be treated. You shall support each other and get the tasks that will be entrusted to you done, no matter the cost. Do not question my orders either, I have more experience than all of you combined. Failure to adhere to these simple rules will usually result in failed missions and gruesome deaths. Is that clear?"

Taking a final sip from his cup he would drain it of all the remaining tea. The tea party was over, the actual one would now start. Forming a few handseals the Dragon of Konoha would perform a summoning technique. The chakra he would put forth to this endeavour however was by far not enough to summon anything. Instead what appeared in his hands was a mere twenty centimeter long rainbow coloured feather. Twisting his hair around the shaft a few times he would tie it into his alabaster mane, leaving the feather to dangle on the left side of his face. "And here is our first contest..."

Gosei would get up from his chair and move off the patio, beckoning the others to follow. Coming to a halt at the center of the meadow he would address the three Genin. "The rules are simple. If you manage to merely touch this feather you will become second in command of this team." Gosei's eyes started to gleam in a green colour, as his irises started to swirl and little crackles of lightning seemed to pass over his retina. In his right hand actual sparks of lightning would form, dancing from fingertip to fingertip in joyous light blue jolts. Around his left hand the wind would start to dance, barely noticeable by how it affected his clothing that fluttered in the wind. "Think about it, wouldn't it feel good to boss the others around? You all get the first strike. Come at me like you mean it!" It was time for the Dragon of Konoha to see what these Genin were capable of.

I already described the area, so you guys get to choose your starting distance, that seems fair enough to me.

SPOILER: Click to show

Techs activated:

O-Dai Ryuugan (Honorable Dragon Eye)
Rank: "A"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The power of the Ryuugan Doujutsu is unleashed, allowing the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water up to a certain distance and increase general seeing distance of one's eyes.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Cannot see out of natural line of sight, takes a negligible amount of Chakra to maintain. Cannot pierce Genjutsu.
Description: The final stage of the Kazeraikou Doujutsu forces a temporary change of the user's eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye become one and change to a color decided at the first awakening depending on their mood. The color is like a cloud and swirls around the user's eye when looking around. Small lines of white will flash across the eyes like lightning bolts and continually do so as long as the eye is active. The glowing continues and on top allows for the eyes to slightly even light up in their respective color. With the Final stage of the Ryuugan Doujutsu unleashed, it allows the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water within one's viewing parameters. One's natural sight is also enhanced giving the capability of 8x zoom capabilities. The user sees the elements as three new, vibrant, and opaque colors that mesh perfectly with their normal vision, giving the user the ability to see the three elements without hindering their normal vision in the slightest. Of course normal vision can hinder this special sight, as the user cannot see through walls or other things as normal. Once the user reaches C Rank they no longer have to do handseals to activate the eyes.
Limit: Must be a Kazeraikou, must have Raiton, Fuuton, Suiton releases. Must have Ryuugan

Arashi no Kiero (Channeling of the Tempest)
Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S" ("B" Rank Additional)
Skill: Ninjutsu/Supplementary
Effect: After activating the Ryuugan, the user will be able to channel lightning, water, or wind chakra into each hand.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Wastes a D Rank amount of chakra each turn.
Description: By learning to channel their unique chakra into a normal Raiton, Suiton, or Fuuton jutsu the user is capable of controlling where it begins. After completing the handseals used for the jutsu the user channels one element of chakra to each hand. (IE: Lightning and Water; Water and Water.) Others are able to see the element from each hand because they exude the element given to them. This is used for the other jutsu of the clan and simply having this jutsu active wastes chakra each turn. To learn the clans techniques they must have the corresponding rank of this jutsu. An additional B Rank training can be done any time after the B Rank version of this technique to remove the handseals needed. Though the same amount of time applies to get the channeling to succeed.
Limit: Requires at least Chibi Ryuugan

Eh, my masteries and sensor techs. Can't be bothered to copy paste all that, I'll do that whenever they come up.

[A I R O N T O K U]

I had only managed to take two steps before I felt five snake-like fingers wrapping around my arm and thus, dragging me to a halt. Anger fumed within me as I turned my head to see Ryuichi hissing a reason why I should stay. For a moment my angered expression would relax slightly upon listening to the words, Ryuichi did have a point, but the bastard should not have touched me. Without raising my body heat, I simply yanked my arm back and slapped the side of his face. “Don't you fucking touch me again, Ryuichi!” I shouted.

I completed my turn, all thoughts of leaving the Manor long since diminished. And should Ryuichi not have anticipated my slap, I would shove him back before Gosei spoke further. His arrogant, high-class tone was not sitting with me at all. And with that stupid little boy re-entering the room with his smart-mouthed attitude and the former Hokage's threats, this day was just not turning out to be a good one at all. “Look, former Hokage or not, you are not my mentor, nor are you going to dictate to me when I should leave or not. Your not my father, so don't tell me what to do!” I snapped toward the Godaime, placing both my hands upon my hips.

In a room filled with men was not something that I had wanted nor expected. Just why was I the only female in the room? “...This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, don't let it go to waste, learn from the man imagine how strong you can be, and how much sooner we can go for the Lava seal...” Fuck Ryuichi had a point. Gosei is after all, the former Hokage, and he does have more experience than any of us. Fuck! But my inner ramblings would be cut short when Gosei spoke up again, telling me not to call my team mates pieces of shit. My angered expression quickly turned into a sly smile.

“I'm not apart of this team, Gosei-san, and I will address the kid as I see fit.” I said it matter-of-factually before averting my gaze from all members on the patio. Instead my gaze traveled out toward the gardens of the Manor. All those colors and aromas were soothing my fiery temper, and as long as I kept staring at that, everyone here can simply become a memory. But when Gosei spoke up again, this time it was a speech worth falling asleep over. My head turned upon the white haired man before I folded my arms.

He performed a short series of handseals and a beautiful feather would appear in their wake. The said feather was then tied to the locks of white hair before Gosei spoke again. Bossing the others around did seem highly interesting for me, but I also knew what game Gosei was playing at. My face turned back into the emotionless mask before I turned away to walk out into the garden. So let the others try and go at him I knew that Gosei was expecting to be attacked right on the spot, and that was something I wasn't going to do. But will the others do the stupid thing first?

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Ryuichi was a bit surprised by the sudden slap he received from Kohaku, not expecting it since all he’d done was grab her arm. Then for some strange reason she pushed him, he sighed and light his cigarette and took a long pull from it, then exhaled the smoke. He then drank a sip of the nice tea, and listened as the former Hokage spoke, not even paying the little kid who had returned any attention.

The white haired man decided to challenge them, to see if any of the three of them could even touch the feather he had produced via a summon, Ryuichi looked at the man as it began to get a lightning charge, a cocky grin would appear on the young man’s face. Ryuichi then finished the rest of his tea and stood up from his seat as the man began to say that whomever did would get to become the second in command of the team ”all the better.” Ryuichi thought, he then put his cigarette out knowing that right now it’d be more of a hindrance due to his lack of smoke jutsu.

Ryuichi started to walk forwards, slowly, then the man said to come at him like they meant it, which he knew was going to be hard, but he didn’t care, this was going to be fun. Ryuichi then started to make a series of handseals and cupped his hand right hand around his mouth ”Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu” thought the brown and blonde haired man, then through cupped hand a large fireball started to fly towards the man.

Though Ryuichi wasn’t going to let that be all, he then started toward the man, the ball of fire traveling one way whilst Ryuichi broke off another and started to flank the man, trying to predict where he’d go, but would follow the man wherever he went. When the white haired man stopped, he would attempt to take the feather by force, throwing a flurry of punches and kicks at the man all the while trying to grab the feather.

SPOILER: Click to show

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is cannot be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fiery explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing damage that is even more devastating.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

[hagane]

Hagane had listened intently to everything that went on around him. Varying slaps and argument, he created a fair volume of chaos in his arrival it would seem. And then, things would change as his sensei proclaimed a challenge. One of them was just standing there when it occurred. His other decided to go in for a headfirst attack. the large fireball did a unique task however: It blocked Hagane and Gosei's line of sight of each other. This was as good an opportunity as any. For now he'd support his team mates. Or rather, Team mate singular.

Hagane dove into the ground ising his earth chakra, using the blocked vision to swiftly put himself in a stealthy location. To be out of view and to secure where he was as he performed various handsigns underground. As he slapped his hands together, he wondered how their sensei would react to both the use of the technique and the knowledge that Hagane was a Genjutsu type as he set it up.

"Magen: Jinteki Harinezumi no Jutsu."

Hagane uttered in the earth as his chakra invaded his own sensei's chakra with swift force. In a moment, the illusion of what appeared to be hundreds of projectiles would rain down upon him. Shuriken, kunai, senbon, Dai shruiken, swords, spears. If it was sharp and had an edge or point, large volumes of it would appear in Gosei's line of sight to be heading straight towards him and piercing him from all directions, causing immense pain. A pain that would linger even after the technique ended.

Limit: Needs the Earth Release

[Solus]

O

nly one seemed content to start the battle, which was Ryuichi. As the boy started on his handseals so did Gosei, finishing in less than half a second, well before the fire prodigy had finished his. The true intent of the jutsu he just performed however would remain hidden for now as no real change could be observed on the battlefield. The balance of power would however be heavily tipped over on successful completion of the technique. It was a charm genjutsu, which would immediately start to affect Kohaku’s brain, who stood a mere ten meters away from the Godaime. All intention of hostilities towards the Kazeraikou would cease to exist in her brain and until dispelled, the only thing it would tell her was that the source of the technique was her best friend in the world. Without already having engaged in hostilites and her apparently not regarding the other two as allies, she would be the perfect target for this Genjutsu.

To her left, about ten meters away from her -from Gosei’s point of view- and also ten meters from the Dragon of Konoha, Shirahama completed his technique, spewing forth a great ball of fire. Having anticipated this, since the boy had already stated his specializations Gosei would move a mere ten meters back, increasing his distance to the other combatants and effectively dodging the fireball which didn’t seem to move from the user. Harmlessly the fire raged in front of the Kazeraikou, passing diagonally in front of Gosei to the right, with the actual target of the technique being well out of harms way.

Although unbeknownst to the others, one should already have been defeated by now, leaving only two targets. One was harmlessly busy on casting a fireball, whilst the other attracted the Dragon’s attention by popping underground. With pinpoint precision the Godaime could pinpoint Higan’s position through his experience as a sensor. Underground the lad could do anything. Having little interest in being surprised from below a second set of handseals would be formed. These too were would be created at such speed that it took about three quarters of a second. If executed as planned the technique would not only severely interrupt whatever the prodigy was doing down there, but also prohibit any further movement for about 18 seconds.

That should be more than enough time to deal with Ryuichi before permanently disabling Higan. Although below the ground Hagane couldn’t see the projectiles coming he would most certainly notice it and feel them when the illusory weapons penetrated his body from every angle. Representations of kunai, senbon, swords, spears, naginata, daggers and all manner of pointy object would stick themselves through the youth. The intense and severe pain would abruptly interrupt whatever technique or plan the boy would be hatching down there. With his concentration broken, performing any jutsu would be tedious, painful and almost impossible by the sheer pain rampaging through the targets body if successful. Moreover, by hiding underground Hagane had robbed himself of the ability to move around freely, thus he would probably not be able to move from his spot after such a devastating illusory strike.

Then there was the case of the firestarter. It was less than a second ago that Ryuichi had started on fuming fire, so he would still very much be in the process of displaying his misplaced power. It was time to put forth some electric power. Forming once again handseals in the blink of an eye the Godaime would use his knowledge of Arashi no Kiero to manifest his jutsu five meters behind Ryuichi. Out of nowhere 35 ravens, composed out of pure lightning, took shape. Without any warning they would immediately assault the boy from behind two sets of five birds would go for the legs, each set sending themselves slamming into one of the youths legs, crippling both immediately. Another two sets of five ravens each would simultaneously slam into each arm, eliminating the movement of those at the same time. The remaining fifteen birds would not target any specific spot, all of them would at the same time Ryuichi's back, this part of the strike was more or less aimed at the spinal chord. If the attack was successful the boy would suffer severe electrical burns, whereas the paralysis induced by the lightning would cripple all limbs and take out the spinal chord, eliminating reflexes and further crippling the boy. Overwhelmed by the sheer shock and suddenness of the strike the brain should take the most logical action to achieve self preservation: It would shut down the entire body. Everything would go black and the boy would fall forward limply if the strike would hit unopposed as smoke would arise from his scorched clothes and body. A bit over the top perhaps, but nothing that Gosei could not heal.

And opposition would probably not be met with Hagane trapped by the earth and Kohaku under the Genmasters spell. As the target of the Godaime’s charm at the beginning of the spar she would feel no reason to attack such a good and trusted friend. Of course the amiability would not last any longer than the charm, but for now it would force her to believe more or less everything her best friend says. So far everything had transpired in less than two seconds from the first moment Gosei created a handseal. An extremely fast pace for those who were not of S-class. The difference in power was simply that large. If everything had transpired as intended it would be time to gloat a bit about victory, just to rub it in. Since the order that would be given did not involve any dangerous actions or hostilities there would be no reason for Kohaku’s chakra drugged brain to resist, despite the order being ridiculous. ” Kohaku! Dance for me and sing ‘You’re the best around’!”

An affected opponent never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the GenJutsu. You must speak the opponent's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

"B" Rank - After learning the "C" Rank 10 times, user must then learn the "B" Rank version. Each time learned the user is able to create 5 additional birds on top of the 50. User is able to learn this rank 10 times giving a maximum of 100 birds created each time the technique is performed. Every 10 birds uses the amount of energy equal to 1 "C" Rank Technique. Each bird has the flight capability of Average: The creature can fly as adroitly as a small bird.

O-Dai Ryuugan (Honorable Dragon Eye)
Rank: "A"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The power of the Ryuugan Doujutsu is unleashed, allowing the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water up to a certain distance and increase general seeing distance of one's eyes.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Cannot see out of natural line of sight, takes a negligible amount of Chakra to maintain. Cannot pierce Genjutsu.
Description: The final stage of the Kazeraikou Doujutsu forces a temporary change of the user's eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye become one and change to a color decided at the first awakening depending on their mood. The color is like a cloud and swirls around the user's eye when looking around. Small lines of white will flash across the eyes like lightning bolts and continually do so as long as the eye is active. The glowing continues and on top allows for the eyes to slightly even light up in their respective color. With the Final stage of the Ryuugan Doujutsu unleashed, it allows the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water within one's viewing parameters. One's natural sight is also enhanced giving the capability of 8x zoom capabilities. The user sees the elements as three new, vibrant, and opaque colors that mesh perfectly with their normal vision, giving the user the ability to see the three elements without hindering their normal vision in the slightest. Of course normal vision can hinder this special sight, as the user cannot see through walls or other things as normal. Once the user reaches C Rank they no longer have to do handseals to activate the eyes.

OOC: Okay guys, one: Sorry for my late as reply, I'm seriously screwed up with timing at the moment, I'm actually usually on time.. So sorry And two: Solus's RP is quite confusing at times so please forgive me if my post does not make any kind of sense. It is my first time Rping being under a Genjutsu, so it's bound to be wrong.

It seems as if I was not going to have to wait for long at all. Typical men, go in for the first move the moment the leader says go. But me? I walk away only to find myself feeling as if I had just had a massive change of heart. What the fuck had just happened?! Everyone around me seemed totally different as to how I was thinking of them previously, but upon watching Gosei, his voice would catch my attention and the impulse to go through with his request would become overwhelming. The song in which he had requested I sing was something that caught me off guard.

But nevertheless, my expression would suddenly turn sweet as a warm smile would cross my lips. Now if anyone was watching, this type of smile would probably shock those around me considering how harsh I truly was. But watching Gosei speak to me, I slowly began to dance as the lyrics of the song he had requested began to flood my brain. “Try to be best, because your only a man...” My voice would sing-song throughout the garden, reaching higher in tune and louder in volume.

My body would twist around elegantly as I moved into a spin, stepping swiftly as I moved along the garden. The skirt I wore rustled gently with each movement and my hair flowed around my head and shoulders along with the soft breeze. “And a man's got to learn to take it... Try to believe, though the going gets rough, that you got to hang tough to make it..” I continued to sing, allowing my voice to raise and drop octaves in the right times within the song.

My smile would fall upon Gosei again before I yet again twirled around before darting behind a tree and around it. The garden's aromas flooded my nose as I moved through them, stepping elegantly on the path and swaying my hips as I continued to sing. “History repeats itself, try and you'll succeed. Never doubt that you're the one, and you can have your dreams!” I reach out and leap forward before moving into another spin. I probably looked like a dork, but for some reason I found great joy in my current task.

“You're the best around! Nothing's going to ever keep you down, your the best around! Nothing's going to keep you down,...” I sung out, raising my voice to the point when it will be noticed by now. But how will the other's take this?

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Ryuichi watched as the white haired man suddenly evaded the fireball the young man had fired at him. Ryuichi then knew that he’d made a grave mistake, and suddenly saw the man go through a blindingly fast series of handseals as suddenl an unseeable number of birds made of lightning would be formed.

Though Ryuichi wouldn’t see them, he felt as suddenly his legs would go out from under him, spasming with the sudden shocks that ten birds gave his legs. As he began to fall he would try to brace himself when suddenly another set of ten total would small into his arms, sending his arms into a spasming mess that he had no control over.

With a loud groan the final fifteen would slam all throughout his back, mostly on his spinal cord, his clothes would be burnt away where the birds attacked and his skin would receive second degree burns. The skin would blister and even char a bit, he fell forwards as the creeping blackness of unconsciousness swept over him.

As the blackness faded in on him and his hearing started to go as he passed out he could hear the sound of Kohaku being forced to sing, it was then that Ryuichi realized that the former Hokage never intended to let any of the three become his second-in-command. It was with that thought that the man passed out, his cigarettes and his lighter spilling from his jacket on the ground, just in front of him, near his head.

[hagane]

Waves of pain crashed through Hagane's body before he could fully comprehend what was going on. As he observed the varying instruments impaling his body from not only nowhere but, not disturbing the earth, he grimaced.

Did he reflect it or just use it before me? Ugh, This pain is unreal. Even if I know it's Genjutsu, I still feel it and can't negate it on my own.

Hagane thought to himself before the pain stopped his train of thought. It was very difficult to put a straight thought together as Hagane knew the first thing he had to do was get a better line of sight. He used his earth chakra to slightly push himself out of the earth, not having the mental focus to get himself all the way out, only half of his body remained out of the ground as he tried to focus. Ryuichi seemed to be unconscious and Kohaku was dancing happily. Did he use Genjutsu to completely subdue everyone? Hagane didn't have the ability to think out any long term strategies but two thoughts came to mind. First was getting Kohaku and himself free of this genjutsu and then tending to Ryuichi and himself. Hagane knew of only one method to give him time to focus as he held out his thumb and bit hardly on it. It wouldn't cancel the technique by any means but, with the fresh open wound on his bleeding thumb, he reached into his pocket and pulled out makibishi spikes, rolling one on the wound to make his nervous system focus on the new injury for a moment of time to get him to think.

Pain should break her Genjutsu, and if she actually is intelligent she'll then break me out of my Genjutsu. It isn't like Sensei will let me perform and do all that though. And she probably won't help me out of this so that means, I have one shot to catch him off guard before this makes me pass out.

And then, Hagane closed his eyes with a plan in mind, albeit one that probably would fail in the mission given to them but, Hagane more so planned to pass in a different method. Hagane forced himself out of the ground, huffing and puffing and shaking from the pain as he gazed towards his sensei with a determined look as blood flowed from his thumb. His vision blurring between consciousness as his left hand flicked the three makibishi spikes in Kohaku's direction, in the path of her dance for her to hopefully step on and break the link as he placed his hand over his neck as it began to glow green, attempting to use Shosen in order to dull the pain long enough to use one last attempt to show why he was the strongest here.

W

ith one down and the second still shaking her hips to his pleasure –and what a display it was- only one was left. Kohaku’s voice vibrated through the area as she sung a nice battle theme, invigorating the Godaime with renewed energy. One had been left mentally injured, but not defeated. His sensor abilities would immediately notify the Kazeraikou when his opponent would move. Painstakingly the boy pushed his upper body out of the earth. It was commendable to see him still try, yet the futility of the attempt was the more obvious with every move the youth made. Molding his chakra the Godaime would prepare for a final attack that would end this little spar that by now looked more than a slaughter with a nice music theme.

Ryuichi was evidently down and as far as Kohaku was concerned the only logical conclusion would be Genjutsu. Even to the most dimwitted fool the absurdity of her actions would come off as out of place. Thus when the caltrops appeared the Godaime could only assume that they were meant to break any potential genjutsu by throwing them in the path of the girl. Does he know that the weapons are illusory? The thought passed the mind of Gosei for a second. It would make sense, if freed from his spell Kohaku could not only rejoin the fight, but she could also break Hagane from his mental prison.

Of course none of this would come to pass. The boy was raising himself out of the ground as Gosei steadily approached with a determined stride, decreasing the distance between them to ten meters by the time the boy had elevated himself from the hole. Defiantly the youth looked at Gosei, who used the opportunity to quickly mold his chakra and attempt to hammer it down into Hagane’s brain, the effects of a second Genjutsu superimposing themselves over the previous one. If successful in addition to the pain the boy would suddenly experience a bout of nausea. Any normal man would have fallen to his knees choking under the effects of this illusion, but together with the pain from the previous illusion it would probably be a cheesy limp fall, followed by throwing up and choking. The caltrops of course would in this scenario never be thrown, if one would consider that a cat could throw up further away than Higan was able to throw the projectiles in the predicament of the Genjutsu. ”This is over, all of you are clearly defeated. I could turn you in for bounties, sell you as slaves at this point, or keep you for myself to have some more fun. Oh and kill you of course, that remains an option to any enemy.”

The reason for which Gosei had summoned a feather, rather than just picking one up from his aviarium was a bit more complicated than just showing off. As the feather was summoned it could be unsummoned at any given moment. A last ditch measure in the highly unlikely case any of these weaklings would ever come close to touching the feather. However, now the Dragon of Konoha would make the feather disappear in a puff of alabaster smoke to signal that this was really over. Crossing his fingers the Godaime would create a perfect clone of himself, which poofed into existence next to its creator. The copy of Gosei would quickly move over to Ryuichi and move his hands over the lads back, from which now a green coloured chakra radiated. The green light would seep into the burn marks from the ravens, closing the wounds, reducing the blisters and preventing scarring. The improving physical condition of the boy would most likely cause him to reawaken from his pain induced coma soon.

As far as the girl who was still twirling around the garden and Higan were concerned, their conditions would be remedied far easier. Snapping his finger as he did it the Godaime would break the illusions imposed on them and with it relieve the two Genin of their effects. ”The order in which you were able to resist me and postpone your defeat is also the order of strength here. Don’t get any ideas though, all of you are still lacking. I am here to remedy that. You’ve had a taste of power now, imagine that you could wield this much power too. Imagine being able to have people follow your commands against their will, be able to destroy with overwhelming force or the ability to defeat with a gaze. If that is what you want then you should abide by my advice and orders. Any questions so far?”

[A I R O N T O K U]

“...Nothing's gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own...” I let out, stopping in my dance just to let the words protrude through my mouth. The sound of my voice filled the garden, probably alerting those whom were currently inside the house, let alone those outside with me. “Fight 'til you drop, never stop, can't give up...” Back to dancing again, and skipping over the spikes Hagane had thrown in my way. I continued to sing as if nothing was going on, one would swear I was signing loosely in the shower.

But within a split second, the impulse to do as I was told suddenly lifted before I found Gosei standing rather than sitting, and him giving out another long dramatic speech. Also, the feather attached to his hair was gone. Immediately I began searching the garden for the other two, wondering if one of them had successfully retrieved the feather from the former Hokage's hair, but both of them appeared to be in worse conditions than they had been moments ago. What the fuck is going on?!

But the million dollar question was, how the hell did I find myself over here and my clothes ruffled as if I had been... dancing. Dancing?! “Just what the hell happened? And why is Ryuichi lying there?” I asked, the tone in my voice holding only that of confusion. Seeing Ryuichi laying there being healed by Gosei was something I didn't even think of caring about. Silly bastard probably deserved it.

But when I glanced over toward Hagane who seemed in a slightly better condition than Ryuichi, and then at Gosei who remained untouched and immaculate as ever; did I realize what had just happened. Gosei had placed me under a Genjutsu, which would explain the ruffled up clothes and the fact that I don't recall seeing any sort of fight happening at all during the time when I was... out of it. The bastard had taken advantage of all of us and knew that we were all defenseless and inexperienced to react in the manner that a Shinobi should.

“Your a fucking bastard, Gosei you know that?! Attacking us like that. Geez, some sensei you are.” I retorted bitterly, brushing my clothes down as if I had just picked myself up out of the dirt. I couldn't believe the things I had just done, and in front of these two twits. This just wasn't happening! Man I really did need to watch my step when I'm around this white haired geezer.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Ryuichi groaned as he was healed by the clone. He began to wake up slowly, he groaned, and noticed that the feather was no longer on Gosei. When he looked around, he could see that the only person still standing looked a bit dazed and confused and didn’t have the feather. Ryuichi sighed, slowly grabbing his cigarettes and lighter, placing them in his pocket again.

Ryuichi then sat up slowly so that the clone could continue fixing him up, slowly and properly. “So are you trying to say that I’m the weakest of the group Gosei-san? Because I disagree with that, not out of pride or ego, but because it just doesn’t FEEL right when you say that…then again that could be pride or ego…” Ryuichi then looked at the man as he spoke more so, about how if they wanted the same kind of power he had, that they should stay.

Ryuichi said nothing, but sat there and looked at the man, not moving because he knew he needed more power, he needed to become stronger, but he knew that he could not have been the weakest of the group…

[/blockquote][/font][/size]

[hagane]

Hagane felt the wave of nausea overcome him and dropped to his knees with caltrop still in hand. However, he didn't let his gaze leave his sensei's location. He continued to observe his target before he observed the feather dissipate and then, the genjutsu dispersed from him. However, his body was still racked with pain as he stood up and listened. As usual, the girl was loud and obnoxious and it seemed the other was nonchalant about the whole ordeal. Hagane held a hand to his chest as it glowed green, invigorating him slightly as he proceeded to dull the pain he was enduring.

"Kohaku. Be quiet. Speaking without purpose is the earmark of an idiot. At least try to hide your weakness. Unlike me and Ryuichi who attempted to lay out a plan of action, you just waited for others to do the work for you. Unless you prove otherwise, no matter how capable you may or may not be, your refusal to act or attempt to analyze the opponent is proof of your inability to do either."

Hagane said in a matter of fact sort of manner, his demeanor changing. He wanted to prove a point to her ignorance, though breaking through it would probably take a great deal of time to do that. He turned towards Ryuichi then with an observant eye.

"In the opposite sense, me and you were both too aggressive to varying degrees. We both attacked without knowing what kind of counter attack or abilities our opponent could respond with. I failed to fully come prepared to this situation, I will need to train more to remedy that."

And finally, Hagane turned back towards Gosei, the expression on his face changed as he pocketed the caltrop back into his pocket. Something puzzled Hagane however. His vision was obstructed and yet, still targeted him perfectly even after he submerged into the earth. He furrowed his brow at the thought. He looked towards Gosei a minute longer at his eyes then, running through ideas.

"You're not a Hyuuga. Nor an Inuzuka or Aburama, that's definitive. It's something else. Some other sort of sensory ability. I timed my movement underground to after Ryuichi attacked. The size of the attacked obstructed your vision. Even if you immediately cast it as the fireball came at you, I would of dodged the Genjutsu when going underground. No, you specifically waited till I was submerged, knowing my exact location and then used it against me, thinking it would trap me and immobilize me in the ground. But you couldn't know my exact location without some sort of sensory enhancement, right Sensei?"

Hagane asked in a plain sort of manner. Hagane didn't know exactly how but he knew, there was some sort of method that Gosei was able to effectively strike such a decisive blow while Hagane wasn't in Gosei's range of vision. Hagane was curious to find out what it was and if it was exclusive to Gosei or not. He needed to know if it was something to beware of in a select group of others or something he himself could learn.

[Solus]

A

s the realization of defeat after a mere few seconds started to seep into their brains the reactions came, ranging from anger to astonishment and to calm retrospection. At Kohaku’s comments he could merely shrug. It was true that he had attacked them and if she thought that made him a ‘bastard’ then that was her loss. Clearly she had not understood the lesson. ”I know. And that is not a question. I love your singing by the way.”

As far as Ryuichi was concerned, he did not seem to understand the order of things that had transpired. Understandable since Gosei’s first attack had specifically been aimed at taking out one of the three without the others noticing. ”Not entirely correct. I cast my first Genjutsu on Kohaku before you could even launch your first attack. You are number two.”

At this point the Dragon of Konoha mentally prepared himself to lecture Kohaku again, but Higan beat him to it, telling her almost exactly what the Godaime had intended to say. This person seemed to be the one with surprises. Rather than moaning about his defeat he immediately set to analyzing it and extrapolating his flaws from the experience. ”That is correct Higan. Very observant. I have mastered the art of chakra sensing. A skill that allows be to sense a beings chakra. A very helpful ability as it tells me where someone is if I can’t see that person. Also, a person may put on a disguise, but one cannot disguise his specific chakra signature, which is like a finger print to me. I do not think that any of you is however capable of learning that at this moment. However, once you are ready, I am of course willing to teach. This goes by the way for everything I know. I am well versed in every shinobi art that involves chakra and if it is Taijutsu you want, I can teach you how to defeat your opponent by hitting pressure points.”

It then occurred to the Kazeraikou that he could still see lightning, wind and water chakra. Blinking a few times he would dispel his Ryuugan, causing the eerie green glow to disappear from his eyes as they turned back to their original amethyst colour. He then turned to address all three of them at the same time. ”One of the reasons why your attacks were a complete failure is because each of you attacked on his own accord. Had you stood together like a team you could have freed each other from my Genjutsus. That is the theory that you have been taught in the academy and it works pretty well in actual combat too. When facing a superior opponent you will either have to team up or have a lot of luck.”

Meanwhile, during these two injections of wisdom, the Kage bunshin had more or less finished healing the wounds on Ryuichi. Noting that it’s work is done and that the back of the youth looked again like it did before he had joined the fray, it would just disappear in a puff of ivory smoke.

[A I R O N T O K U]

Well the spar was indeed truly over, and everyone had decided to just take a chunk out of me. Typical males, but a fucking kid? My fiery gaze turned upon the child with such menace that anyone would think my full intentions were to kill him. And believe me, the thought well in truly had crossed my mind. Telling me to be quiet, followed by Gosei implying that I was the weak link? Fuck this. “Wow, that's rich coming from a boy who got himself skewered while in the ground.” I retorted boorishly, placing both my hands upon my hips as the chiding continued to flood in.

The desire to leave the premises was first on my mind but when Gosei began speaking about sensory abilities and teaching us how to obtain such a handy ability, I felt my muscles relaxing. I will leave once this man had given me all that he has. But teaming up with the pair of them? This was going to be my biggest mission yet. “So what other little activities do you want us to do? If you really think we're all going to be able to perform a simple task as a team, then instead of scolding us on our bad our battle skills are; why don't you actually teach us how to work like a team.” I said tartly, moving over toward the seat where Gosei had been sitting and taking it myself.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Ryuichi let out a small groan of discomfort as the clone finished healing him, the young multi-colored haired man reached into his pocket and slowly withdrew his pack of cigarettes and his lighter, and he then put a cigarette into his mouth, lit the small white stick and then placed the pack of smokes and the lighter back in his pocket. Taking a large inhale of the cigarette, watching as the white turned to still hot ash, he then pulled the cigarette out using his right hand’s index and middle finger, tapping it and watching the ashes fall to the ground.

As he did that, he listened and let out a long stream of his smoke, knowing they would need to work on their teamwork and their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Ryuichi then spoke up “Gosei-san, you picked three shinobi seemingly at random and expected us to work together as if we’d been fighting together for years? Isn’t that a bit much, since we are still new at being Shinobi’s and before really today, we’d never met?”

As he finished speaking, the lovely if rather rude Kohaku began to speak saying that if he thought they should be stronger, then Gosei should teach them, which Ryuichi was rather hopeful for, he needed to learn more Jutsu, both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, he had goals to achieve and he hadn’t made any real progress on them in some time.
