 Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius Shikarama looked to Drago as he removed the blood from his weapon. He began to slowly ease up, seeing as, if Drago was in fact the bad guy, he would likely have already killed him. "He scratched his head, looking up. Sorry, what should I call you then." He took a step back as Drago slammed the tokijen down. He watched carefully as the man took a small object from their enemy's head. With two sighs, he looked from the Task Master, back to Shikarama. He asked Shikarama if he understood the fact that he had endangered his own life helping Drago. Shikarama's face became serious as his answered. "I understand quite well. However, I could not just leave somebody to be killed. I am a shinobi, my life will be on the line one way or another. It's best that it be the case while I am helping someone." Then Drago used a seal to destroy the body. Then he indicated the ear piece found on the body. Shikarama nodded in recognition. Shikarama could only smile. This would be far better then any mission at his level. He'd really be able to make a difference this way. "So, if they are after you, where do you intend to go now...Maybe you could speak to our village leaders about some protection, maybe even get a mission to go after the assassins."7612 SP/chakra Spendable skill points: 389 Shadow Neck Bind - 389/900 Shadow Summoning - 0/1000

 Names everybody needed a name. It was somethign that he hated to give away. His name. It seemed like the more people he tried to avoid.. The more people he ended up meeting. He looked at him and he tilted his head and said seriously. "They call me Drago. I think thats as ffar as we need to go with names.." He said with a bit of grimmace. He looked at the body turning into ashes and he stared at the Communication device. He laughed as he listened to the boy talk about what he thought being a ninja was... That he wanted to help people. He would rather help somebody then watch them die. IT was a admirable..but foolish view. "Yeah you are obviously still new to being a ninja..huh? You get a little bit older and you tell me if you still feel the same way. Kill or be killed my friend..That's the true way of the shinobi.." Drago said with a bit of a smirk behind his mask. He listen to him ask a question where he intended to go? Was that a trick question. He was going to bring the fight to them. Show them if they watned him they would have to take him down. He flipped the walkie talkie piece over and pressed down on the ear slowly. "What I Intend to do is bring the fight to me..If they want me..They already know where I am..Hidden Leaf..bwah. I can take a few assassins.. I guess. Hey you hear that? I am here in Hidden Leaf..and I already killed one of you.... Don't be scared." Drago crushed the walkie talkie and threw it to the ground. He licked his lips behind his mask and turned to Shikarama. He gave a chuckle as he yawned a bit. "any questions on how I plan on taking them down? I am going to kill each and every last one of them..If you think I need protection from Hidden Leaf..then you are sadly mistaken.. I might not have all my memories... Or know exactly what's going on.. but I am a master at my blade.." Drago chuckled.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius Shikarama listened carefully. He originally was intending to give his own name. But then Drago, in answering, did away with that. Apparently the man didn't enjoy talking about names. He crossed his arms at Drago's answer. "If we chose to view the world that way, kill or be killed, we become nothing more then monsters, mercenaries, human weapons. We can't neglect our human side, or else we destroy ourselves along with our enemies." Shikarama was surprised that Drago so readily sought them to come after him. Without a bit of hesitance, he spoke into the ear piece, telling the assassins his location and encouraging them to face him. He tilted his head, nodding. "From what I did see, you certainly used your weapon correctly. But from what I remember of the situation, you received quite a few arrow wounds during that fight in a matter of moments. It appeared that he was about to kill you when I distracted him." He then took a moment, thinking about what he said. "Do you have amnesia?" This man just became a lot more interesting, and there were so many questions in his mind. He was clearly a warrior, likely a ninja. He had no sign of being a ninja of particular village that Shikarama had seen. He studied carefully, looking for any clues on him as to whom he actually was. 7841 SP/chakra Spendable skill points: 618 Shadow Neck Bind - 618/900 Shadow Summoning - 0/1000

Drago laughed at the yougn ninja again. He gave a big smile behind his mask. If he knew any better he would have assumed this kid was him. At one point in time. He looked at him and patted the kid on the back. "We Are monsters. We are the things that go bump in the night. We are Tools to be used and discared when we are not effective anymore. We are what keeps society moving and what makes the world worth living. Without us.. Without the weapons..this world would plunge into chaos. You see our burning dead friend.. He had his purpose and it is over.. he is dead. If you arn't living to die.. Then maybe you shouldn't be a shinobi." Drago said as he finished watching the body burn to ashes. Drago eyebrows went up when the kid said that he saved him from being killed. He gave another laugh. The arrows were painful. The fragments were piercing through his skin.. but was he worried about dying. He didn't care about dying.. It was the last thing he worried about. "Possibly? Or maybe I was going to kill him a different way? He scratched his head as he tilted it towards Shikarama. "If I had ammensia would I know?" Drago asked sarcasticly.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius He felt almost proud as Drago patted him on the back. His words however, didn't quite reflect his actions. "You are right about a few of those things. However, we don't live inherently to die. I recognize death as a definite possibility. And I would be willing die for something I believe in, some mission that helps achieve what I seek. However, I am not a mindless drone. As much as you deny it, neither are you. We both know, we wouldn't willingly become true monsters, we wouldn't die, or kill for something we don't believe in. I am a shinobi because of my willingness to act where it is fit to, and my ability and skills to do so. Death is a fact, but it will be I who decides whom I kill and how I die." He said with a calm, serious face. Then Drago made a smirk remark about killing the man. Shikarama responded slily. "Perhaps, but you certainly used the chance of the smoke bomb, as well as that of the explosives. You used them to distract him, not to just kill him, but first to heal and then kill him. You recognized he was a threat enough that you needed to recover, and the need to use the enviroment for it, rather then just striking him while he was first distracted. Maybe I am wrong, but this could mean you knew he would be able to respond quickly enough in the smoke screen to avoid your attack and kill you, especially while you were distracted by your wounds." Shikarama actually chuckled at the man's last comment. "Perhaps, I can't say I'd know...but you do know you don't remember a lot. That is the first thing that would cross a person's mind in examining that fact."8141 SP/chakra Spendable skill points:18 Shadow Neck Bind - 900/900 Shadow Summoning - 18/1000

 Asuka Sinobi walked through the front gates of the Hidden Leaf village and began to make his way into town to find something to eat. It was a strange sensation for him to be traveling again. The young Sinobi couldn't remember the last time he wasn't holed up in an office playing Raikage and doing paperwork. He really wished the village would find someone capable of actually leading the village so he could get back to training and become strong enough to do the job for real. As the cloud chuunin walked down the road he realized that what he really needed was the Jounin exams to roll around. He hoped he hadn't missed it while he was locked up in an office. It had been a long time since Asuka had made his way into the Hidden Leaf village. There were a few characters here that he really hoped he did not have the misfortune of running into during his stay. Words = 162

"So look they have killed Task Master so it looks like you are up.."The man said as he bounced off the wall. He tried to stop moving but he couldn't. He hung onto one of the trees on Hidden Leaf and he held still for a moment. He looked at the man wearing a skeleton outfit.
"So I think that mean's you're up. Doug wants us to go about killing him.. since he knows that we are after him,.. So go ahead."Lord Death only spun a kunai into his hand. He took in a deep breathe air and allowed himself to calm down. He didn't have any plans to go out there but since his comrade had died..he would have to avenge him They always made that pact to do so.. It was silly. But Lord Death take revenge for Task Master. "Fine.. I guess I will go kill all them..That way you have nothing to worry about." Lord Death said as he plucked a rose from a bush and he put it in his cap. He however as teh rose ocntinued to touch his costume the rose died and withered. He gave a smile behind his mask and walked towards Hidden Leaf.

Drag odecided here and now that this was a smart kid. He wouldn't have many problems adjusting to the actuall shinobi world. He had already seen enough and had a theory upon his way of being a ninja. He hoped that this was enough for him. Drago gave a simple smirk. He looked at him and he shrugged his shoulders.
" I am a monster kid. I left the little bit of humanity that I had with her. Now I am turnign her into me too."
He was referring to the girl that he had met in Sand. He left her so she could stop relying on other people to become strong. He shook his head as he shrugged his shoulders. He laughed at the kid a bit again.
"If you think that he actually had a chance you are sadly mistaken. I still had a few wind techniques that I didn't use. Those arrows I was trying to figure out how strong they were..His Bow reminded me of my sword. As a matter of fact the two felt pratically related. Once I figured out what they were...then I killed him."
DRago said as he spun his tokijen. He looked at him and he gave a smirk.
"He released the blade..Let me show you.."
Drago let his charka circle through the blade and he quickly caled out.
"Tokijen RELEASE!"
The Tokijen started to glow brightly and he spun the balde around quickly.
"All in due time. These wounds were minor..well kind of.. they ripped through me pretty hard..it felt like hell. Do I remember a lot? no I remember standing in field in Hidden Craftsmen..and that my name is Drago. That's about it. Maybe some other memories..I don't care to remember them."
Drago sighed.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius He tilted his head curiously as Drago called himself a monster. What he said qwould suggest he had done something that he feels shame or guilt for in his past, or perhaps that he no longer has an ideal for which he fights for. From him mentioning "her", it would suggest the former was partially the case, combined with his lack of will and ability to remember. None-the-less, Shikarama continued to listen. He watched in awe as Drago revealed the secrets of his weapon. Shikarama placed his hands back behind his head. "Perhaps I am making a mistake...but I believe I wish to remain with you here, and experience the coming battles. I recognize that my life is on the line. I recognize that you may have no need for me. Still though...I feel that doing so could be useful to me. And despite what you've said, I think it may be useful to you as well." He smiled confidently. He may bhave been over his head, but this was something that could truly test him. 8317 SP/chakra Spendable skill points:194 Shadow Summoning - 194/1000

Drago laughed when he heard him want to travel with him. But that was the point of his life to find somebody that offered him a challenge.. but a challenge like this.. This was something that he thought he would never find. He looked at the Nara..he didn't have much chakra..but he was quick on his feet. He was at least head strong and smart. "Sure kid.. you can follow me into Death. But don't say you didn't know the danger before going into this thing." Drago said as he put his hands in his pocket. He looked down and he felt his stomach growl. He rubbed it slowly and he gave a laugh. "But before we go look for our death..how about we get some grub on me. Because there is no sense of dying on an empty stomach. That a be shame to wake up on a empty stomach don't you agree." Drago often thought of death as a rewakening. Maybe one day he would fully awaken in a world that didn't need these monsters. Maybe they would always need murderers for hire. it didn't matter.. Drago was content with the way he was living.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius Shikarama smiled calmly as Drago told him it was fine, along with warning him the danger, letting him know there was no going back without. "I will follow you into death. But I can assure you, one way or another, I will walk back out." He said confidently. He honestly wasn't so certain, but he was a shinobi. Shikarama heard Drago's stomach growl followed by a laugh. He looked up to Drago. "That sounds good. I am a bit hungry as well."8399 SP/chakra Spendable skill points:276 Shadow Summoning - 276/1000

After walking around for a few minutes and losing himself in deep thought several times along the way, Azurin eventually found a decent looking restaurant. He stepped in the front door and took a seat in booth. The cloud chuunin always like sitting in booths even if he was alone. He liked the space and comfort that it gave him to enjoy all by himself. Azurin found himself in no mood to speak to anyone so as the waitress came over, he asked her politely for tea and shooed her away before she could say a word. The young Sinobi picked up the menu and began looking over it slowly. He was in no hurry since this was the closest thing he'd had to a vacation since he entered the academy. A small sigh escaped his lips as he finally began to relax a little bit. words = 162 + 146 = 308 total

Drago nodded as he started to walk towards the resturaunt. It was a higher end resteraunt that usually brought around the higher ups from different villages to Hidden Leaf. He looked at Shikamara, and his eyebrows went up. "Heard that this place is great..don't worry about paying I have enough money to cover just about anything." He quickly in the resteraunt and he quickly eyed everybody in the room. The first person he noticed and the only one worth noticing was the Cloud Ninja. He wasn't exactly sure who he was.. but he knew that he could either be trouble or a hand if something bad had happened. He looked back down and waited till the hostess sat them down. Drago ordered a cup of Passion Tea. He looked at Shikamara as he chuckled. "I s this what kids out the academy are doing now? Jumping straight into the lion's mouth... Don't you guys wait anymore? Like finding cats in trees or things like that?" Drago joked. He leaned back in his chair for a moment as he clsoed his eyes. He scratched hsi figner across the skin of his fingers. "The way I figure it... this has to be a small squad of at least 5 members.. They are wearing headphones.. and apparaently I wronged them. So this is some sort of revenge thing.. But since we don't know how they look.. or where they are from..We are waiting for them to come to us..which they could come at any time. Exciting right?!" Drago smiled behind his mask.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius Shikarama followed Drago, glancing from side to side. He kept himself alert, for, as he knew, there were people after Drago. Emeshed as they were among the masses, it was unlikely anyone would think Shikarama was with him. He then glanced to Drago as he spoke, which of course negated the previous effect. He quickly brought his attention to the restaurant ahead of them. "I will keep that in mind when ordering." He said, smiling to him. Shikarama then followed Drago into it, following Drago's cue as he glanced to everyone. He caught Drago's gaze on a Cloud Ninja. It was true Cloud and the Leaf were at a relative peace, but a foreign ninja was always a sight, one that people tended to be nervous about. then, their hostess brought them to their seats. He calmly sat opposite Drago. He knew full well that this would provide a sensory advantage in case anything did happen. He glanced to the menu and then to her. "I will take some plain green tea, thank you." He then brought his attention to Drago. "Well...I already took such a mission, sort of. But not everyone is like me. I in particular want to do this because I want to honestly make a mark. I come from a family know for it's laid-back...and with all do respect to them, lazy attitude. I reject that tendency." He crossed his hands at the last comment, and smiled back to him, nodding. "I would think they would wish to avoid doing it in such a public place, as the leave village will inevitably investigate. They will probably intend to attack once we get out into the streets and out of the viewing eyes of people."8687 SP/chakra Spendable skill points:564 Shadow Summoning - 564/1000

As Asuka sat in his booth and sipped his tea while reading his menu, he felt something was amiss. The cloud chuunin always trusted his intuition, and he could feel it in his gut that something interesting was going to happen soon. Whether it be good or bad he could not yet tell. Just as he concluded his thoughts Asuka noticed a leaf ninja in a mask walk in and sit down with a younger boy bearing the Nara clan crest. As the two leaf shinobi took their seats the young Sinobi's Ryuugan eyes kicked in and he could easily sense their power. The boy was nothing special yet, but the man in the mask was a whole different story. The masked ninja was obviously very powerful and had probably already noticed that Asuka was not from around here. The cloud chuunin called the waitress over to order his meal. He was sure that the masked man was within range of hearing him as he spoke. "May I please have the roast duck with a side of fried rice? Only enough for one person though, I don't plan on taking left overs." The waitress nodded and walked away towards the kitchen. Asuka knew that his man of interest was probably very intelligent and could easily figure out the hidden meaning within his order. Asuka hoped to show that he meant no trouble here and was only here to visit peacefully. words = 548 total
