The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Musashi looked to see the woman in the tree. Something felt off, familiar as if he had been near her before or someone or thing like her. "I am Saika Musashi! I am traveling with these children to the south. All we seek is safe passage." he said firmly staring into the woman's eyes feeling that he should only give her what she asked and no more information. Why would she just be in a tree waiting like a troll on a bridge?Matsuda gave an odd look and jumped down before the group. She landed with the grace of a cat but the presence of a gorilla. "I'm confused, you speak of children but I only see one." Her gaze swept over the group creating a certain chill in the air. Musashi stared at her meeting her gaze masking his uneasy feelings. Out of the corner of his eyes he looked for himself. What?!....One.....Two...Three. All of them are here....., No does she? He stared at her differently than before. Some how she knows about the children."I know what I have said, In my eyes there are three children who travel with me. You must have been mistaken. No if you please, we'll be on our way ma'am." he said as he made a quick glance at Sokitsu who was behind her ready at a moments notice. Matsuda gave him a withering stare that caused him to freeze in his tracks. "As I said, there is only one. Those abominations are not children and only a nieve fool would believe that they are. You seem to fit that bill." It didn't seem like she was going to let them pass. Musashi frozen and looked her directly in the eyes," Perhaps I was mistaken when I saw you as a common traveler. You have a clear knowledge of their situation. Forgive me for not asking sooner, but may I ask who are you madam, for your presence is overbearing you must be of great importance." he strong together random words and everything he could think of to sound sincere. let's see if I can play at her ego, maybe then we can avoid this unnecessary assault.Matsuda simply scooped up a large rock with her feet into the air and punched it at Sakurai while diving with a long ninja-to at Yinko.

Dragon Sneeze Silly Genji Dragon Sneeze Silly Genji Dragon Sneeze Silly Genji "Get up. That was pathetic." Yuna muttered, walked toward Mai in a darkly lit room, slowly and sinister, his Kodaichi gleamed in the dull light. His eyes an luminous orange, he'd mastered the Myoumukaigokugan in both eyes now, every move that Mai made was calculated seconds before she even executed it. "Get up..." * * * The remains of the Tsuki temple was now being analyzed by a crew of ANBU, deployed minutes before Shinji's funeral by Takusen Chou. The cracks between the rocks began to shimmer with an eeiry blue light becoming more and more overpowering as time went on. Before the ANBU knew it, the remains of the Tsuki temple as blown into oblivion by a refined, tremendous beam on chakra that touched the heavens. The beam of chakra would be seen all over the world, the very sound of it would even reach the ears of Konoha. It died down, after a moment and Asakura stepped out, looking hungry. Looking enraged. Mai was breathing heavily as sweat seemed to cover every inch of her body. Her birth sword Zasumaru felt heavy in her hands. "You havn't beat me yet. Come on!" she shouted. Yuna dropped his stance, and glared at Mai waiting for her to return his gaze. Mai sped forward seeing an opportunity to attack. At the last second she stared deep into Yuna's eyes. A sharp pain seared through Mai's calves, several blades pierced into her lower legs, ripping through the muscle and bone. Then it was gone, an illusion, but the pain would linger. A blade lay upon her shoulder, the sharp edge facing her neck. Yuna was now standing behind her, he had her in checkmate. Mai dropped her sword and breathed hard. "I don't see how that's fair. You suck." Though aching deep down in ever part of her body, Mai was strangely enough enjoying her training. She felt herself getting stronger and faster every day. The blade resting on her shoulder dissipated and Yuna was once again standing in the same position in front of her. It seemed that he hadn't actually moved at all. "You really need to learn how to counter genjutsu. Don't ever make eye contact. Everything you need to know about the next move can be judged from observing the hands or feet." He said, moved closer to her, sheathing his kodaichi.

"Can we take a break? I feel kinda...sick."

The rock hit Sakurai square in the chest, and pass through him as he broke into lumber, before hitting the ground with a loud thump. Oh, Cheeky Sakurai glanced at Ion's back before telling him it looked like spiral that broke of at the top with it's tail flicking out. He also told him it was very nice and asked him when and where he had it done before excusing himself to find a toilet. "I need to go before we leave," He mumbled. The real Sakurai exited the cubicle finally but was suddenly hit with an influx of information. "Ah. Matsuda has attacked! I'm sure Musashi-san can handle it" Sakurai said, reassuring himself. And with that he ventured of into the forest, the opposing direction of where the other group had been heading.

Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Many of the group exchanged glances before Onryou said, "So be it, your clans have the right to settle your personal business without prying ears." He gave a short look at Akira and said, "Tune out Akira-kun." Akira looked disappointed, but obviously knew what Onryou was talking about. "Lead the way," Issui said. "Come." Kisei replied and lead Issui away from the group. They traveled down the road aways to the Tondaime compound next to the graveyard. She entered the temple styled house and removed her shoes. As Issui entered behind her she walked into a small side room where a small shrine with insense and a rememberance picture of a younger handsome man sat. She prayed for a moment and then clapped her hands. "I'm home." she whispered. She stood and walked toward the kitchen. "Let us get started. Would you like some tea Issui-kun?" "No thank you," Issui said as looked at the picture of the man for a moment. "We aren't much for tea in hidden glacier, we actually prefer coffee in the far north west." Issui returned his stare to Kisei and said, "All pleasantries aside Kisei-san, I would rather we get to your story, this is of the utmost importance to both of us I hope." Kisei nodded. "Very well." She rummaged in a drawer and pulled out two photos. The first she handed to Issui. "It begins with this." The photo was a group of nin standing together. A few Issui would probly recognise, as well as a couple he may not. "That photo was taken fifteen years ago. It is the original members of the Kandachime. Back then it was formed as a special cross village ANBU group operating on missions during the war. The top row from left to right, Yohiro Sabu, Kyouryoku you know him as Superior, Tondaime Shu my husband, and me. The second row is Tobasu, Busha Geku, and finally..." Kisei sighed, "...Kabuku Ifuuki." "The concept sounds similar to a group in the Kadou region that dissolved years ago," Issui said as he studied the photo. "Still, I must say, to have Ifuuki working with you...just how did that ever happen?" Kisei continued. "At the time, Ifuuki was going by the name Masahina Kyoko. Of course not many people know what Ifuuki looks like and with her calm and ditzy demeanor we were fooled. It was Ifuuki's intention to discover the location of the Kusanagi which my family hid near 200 years before and Shu and I were the easiest way toward that goal." She poured tea for herself. "She tried to seduce my husband, but he remained faithful to me. So she poisoned him and tried to trade the antidote to me for the location. I regret it..." She nearly knocked over her tea cup her hand was shaking so much. "I gave her the location, but I made sure Kandachime were there to stop her." Issui remained silent for a moment as Kisei steadied herself. then he said quietly, "Please, continue."

He could only hope that everything would be fine.

He was closer to Yinko and pushed her aside. Then something else hit him. If he pushed her away...then did he just put himself in harms way again?

Karai looked out over the forest, his viewpoint was perfect, he had found a foothold on a low cliff, and could survey most of the surrounding area without any problem.
"Sakurai..." He seethed, his body shaking.
"I'll find you sooner than later..." He finished, watching closer.
His eyes fell upon a single tree, its bark was withered, its leaves had died.
"Don't you die before we've settled our differences." Karai whispered, interpreting the tree as a sign.

Issui remained silent for a moment as Kisei steadied herself. then he said quietly, "Please, continue." Kisei composed herself and continued. "Shu was lethaly poisoned and the sword was no longer safe where it was, so we turned to our parent clan Kajiya. After a few talks we gathered together our most trusted friends and formed this." She handed him the second picture which consisted of ten people, one who Issui would recognize as his father. "This is the Council of the Sword. Ten people, my husband and I, your father Oowaka Hitoshizuku, Busha Oui, Hattori Hanzo, Saika Magoichi, Clan Leader Outasu, Shigane Momutaru, Ashikaga Date and Kajiya Musamune. It was decided after a few weeks of discussion that we would use the combined talents of the three master blacksmiths Shu, Hattori, Busha and Kajiya to create seven duplicate Kusanagis to hide the location of the genuine one. Shu provided the Anvil of Ice, Hattori the Hammer of Fire, Busha the unbreakable metal and Kajiya the exact forging specifications passed down throughout the generations. With this, no one from the council could tell the real one from the fakes. Finally, the swords were mixed together and given to eight seperate members to hide not revealing even to each other where it lay." She sipped her tea slowly and waited for Issui to take it all in. "The two that have been found so far were the one Shu hid and the one I hid. I do not know which other members hid a sword, but if you wish to find the other swords then they are your best bet."

Please, I don not know what Iffuki has done to you, but I can find no reason why it should be taken out upon these children! So they are weapons, so they are abominations, I have heard them talk I have seen them cry and laugh. They feel, so to me they are real! So please reconsider this, I do not wish to fight you." Musashi put up his hands and lowered himself into fighting position; although he was still pleading with his eyes.

Just how old was she?! He put that thought aside when Matsuda made the suggestion. "Musashi-san..don't do it. I fought Ifuuki once but...she will recover from anything you throw at her" Ion said more serious to Musashi. He was beginning to understand that Musashi would most likely die if he agreed.
