Silly Genji Nova Blancke Silly Genji Nova Blancke Silly Genji The commotion had everyone so transfixed on fighting, nobody would have time to react when a cloaked figure hop of a tree and scooped up Ion in a restraining arm-lock before he tapped his foot delicately on the ground, which miraculously sent him propelling a great distance into the air, he began dash across the east wall of Konoha. "Answer me carefully, are you or are you not Ion Atehameru," He said gruffly into Ion ear. "Wow wow what the fu-" He could only mutter out before being taken away."Yes I am now let me go" Ion said as he began to struggle a bit. He did as Ion requested, and stopped running. He turned to face Ion, and lowered his hood revealing pale blue eyes and non-existent pupils. His hair was braided, and crimson in colour. "I am Tenroku Ashikaga. You have you're father's eyes." And once again things were strange again. Ion ruffled some of the dust out of his hair." My father? You knew him? " He asked as his curiosity took over. "Somewhat. Come." He replied and promptly grabbed Ion by the scruff of the neck before throwing himself and Ion of the side of the wall, descending into the Konoha woodlands, almost 60'ft down. Ion didn't have alot of time to react. "Are you out of your mind?!" Ion shouted

As the ground began to near, the weight and speed he'd built up seemed to shear away and he landed on the gravel and grass with grace. Standing in front of Tenroku and Ion was a very familiar green giant.

liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Issui nodded as he stood, "I must go prepare for our journey." He bow and left. Once he made his way back to those from his group Issui noticed something was wrong. "What is it?" He asked. "It would seemed that Kasairyuu has escaped from his cell, aided by Yang Tao Eiju," Onryou said. "The guards were discovered heavily wounded and stated that Eiju attacked them and nearly killed them. Konoha was worried so they checked the body of Ifuuki in the morgue....it's missing. We though for a moment that it was Eiju as well, but the body of the mortician's girlfriend was found impaled with scalpels and the mortician killed in the same way down the hall. It would seem that even one's heart exploding is not enough to keep a Kabuku dead. Next time I will make sure of her death by cutting of her head and incinerating it." Onryou paused for a moment before he said, "Either way, I expect that you will be leaving soon. Especially with this new information, finding the Kusanagi, securing it and wither destroying it or keeping it safe is even more important. Rio and Akira all already getting ready, they are in their rooms at the place you were staying before all this began." "Thank you Onryou-sensei," Issui said with a deep bow before he turned and left, ------------------------------ An hour later Issui, Rio and Akira stood ready and waiting for Kisei Kisei strolled up to them from the temple with purpose. She was wearing an old style set of ninja clothes and flak jacket and her long black hair was tied back in two neat pig tails. The most impressive and intimidating thing about her was the giant bladed circle strapped to her back, like a oversized chakram nearly five feet across. When she saw the stares from the group she smiled and placed a hand on the weapon. "This is the marrige sword that Shu created for me when I married into the Tondaime clan as dictated by tradition. It is a bit large yes, but the spirits of the clan design it, Shu only forged it. It is my one true momento of him." "I've read about this," said Akira, earning a turn of heads from his teammates. "You are bonded to your weapons aren't you? Can you convene with your blade, feel what it thinks or wants? I have tried many times to sense the nature of my blades to better understand how to wield them, but it seems I still lack that sense." Rio nodded as he said, "The size isn't that surprising, almost everyone in my clan wields large weapons, most of the Bakuhatsu and Kanko clans from Kaibun no gakure do as well. But I've never seen anyone use a weapon of that style, it must be interesting to see you fight." Issui spoke next, saying. "I know it's good to become acquainted with people you will be relying on in battle and putting your trust on the line for, but we do need to leave. We can continue our conversation on the move, Akira can you get us some transportation?" Akira nodded and bit his finger, pressing it against his other palm. Four gecko salamanders appeared next to each of the four ninjas the size of horses, though set much lower the ground. "These are some of my fastest and most agile sommons and can travel continuously for much longer than us, they will carry us to the lands of the Kadou more than twice as fast as we would normally. The three wordlessly mounted and waited for Kisei Kisei mounted her steed as well and they were off. "What are your plans when we arrive?" she asked Issui as they traveled, "Do we retrieve the sword you speak of first or find your father?"

The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Dragon Sneeze Matsuda gave him a sly look. "It seems you know more about me than I of you. Very well, accepted. As for my rule..." She produced two small daggers from a pouch and tossed him one. They were delicately detailed and slightly curved but looked very strong. "We only attack with these." Musashi caught the blade and looked it over and spun it around in his hand as if he had it for years. Great bladed weaponry, not my best but better than genjutsu or ninjutsu. Would have prefered hand to hand, wonder if she could tell?"Alright, I agree to your terms." Hey looked at Yinko. Alright kid this is for you. Musashi dashed towards Matsuda with the blade set to pierce he shoulder. His eyes were different colder. Matsuda stood stock still and caught Musashi's charge with a single deft wrist flick. Blade clashed on blade as she let him roll past her placing a elbow square into his face probly breaking his nose. She let him stagger away and smirked. "I hope you'll be more challenging than this." Musashi raised his off hand to his nose. A crack was heard, he straightened his nose back. He sniffed, and spit upon the ground. Musashi stared at Matsuda, they effortless retaliation was not as easy as she made it seem, she was so much faster than him. He had not met some one this fast before. I will have to use more of my chakra to inhance my speed"Well well, you are fast and skillful." Musashi said in a regretful tone. "Let's do this." Het took a strong offensive stance, and waved her on. Matsuda took his challenge and stepped forward gracefully. She swung down quickly and aimed a slice at Musashi's hamstring. Musashi had been focusing his chakra for her assault. A strong torrent of wind blew him into the air making him flip, it was if he was as light as a feather in the air. His flip took him face to face in front of Matsuda. Musashi swung hilt first at the bridge of her nose it was clear his intentions were a nose for a nose. The strike was true and crushed her nose with a sickening pop. In reaction she kneed Musashi in the gut hard enough to make him back off. "Making yourself a bit quicker eh? Very good." She snapped her nose violently to reset it and spit a bit of blood. "Ah, it feels good to be a little closer to human every now and then." Yinko kept trying to get up to help but Sokitsu held her down. "Let them fight, there is nothing you can do. But be ready to run if need be." Yinko pouted "I'm not leaving my angel! Never!"

"What are your plans when we arrive?" she asked Issui as they traveled, "Do we retrieve the sword you speak of first or find your father?" "Speaking from what Onryou-sensei has told Akira, Rio and I, the trial to retrieve the Tenken is monumental. He has stated before that there is one loophole concerning the Jounin exams that allows a team to take the trial during the test as long as it is tied to the exam in some way. The trial is apparently exponentially easier as you approach a group of around 3 to 4, before the number of people begins to hampered by their size, somewhat like a bell curve. The more well coordinated and well trained the group, the better. The trial can also only be attempted once by a person in their life. Though I'm sure that Onryou-sensei may well have some people in mind for someone he could trust to retrieve the blade and also strong enough to do it he must have good reasons for not calling on them to do it yet." "I would think it would better to retrieve the fakes and find the original Kusanagi first. For without the cursed blade, we have no need of the Tenken's power."

But I've never seen anyone use a weapon of that style, it must be interesting to see you fight." Issui spoke next, saying. "I know it's good to become acquainted with people you will be relying on in battle and putting your trust on the line for, but we do need to leave. We can continue our conversation on the move, Akira can you get us some transportation?" Akira nodded and bit his finger, pressing it against his other palm. Four gecko salamanders appeared next to each of the four ninjas the size of horses, though set much lower the ground. "These are some of my fastest and most agile sommons and can travel continuously for much longer than us, they will carry us to the lands of the Kadou more than twice as fast as we would normally. The three wordlessly mounted and waited for Kisei Kisei mounted her steed as well and they were off. "What are your plans when we arrive?" she asked Issui as they traveled, "Do we retrieve the sword you speak of first or find your father?" "Speaking from what Onryou-sensei has told Akira, Rio and I, the trial to retrieve the Tenken is monumental. He has stated before that there is one loophole concerning the Jounin exams that allows a team to take the trial during the test as long as it is tied to the exam in some way. The trial is apparently exponentially easier as you approach a group of around 3 to 4, before the number of people begins to hampered by their size, somewhat like a bell curve. The more well coordinated and well trained the group, the better. The trial can also only be attempted once by a person in their life. Though I'm sure that Onryou-sensei may well have some people in mind for someone he could trust to retrieve the blade and also strong enough to do it he must have good reasons for not calling on them to do it yet." "I would think it would better to retrieve the fakes and find the original Kusanagi first. For without the cursed blade, we have no need of the Tenken's power." Nodding Kisei agreed. "Very well. Then we speak to your father first. I havn't seen him for ten years, nor you for that matter. You've grown into a very talented shinobi."
