Yada and Blitz began to talk with him and were quick to convince him to pass the sword over for only one thing, a kiss from Axel. it took a half hour to convince her to even try something like this. they left with the Brotherhood.

Hidden Volcano

“Ughhh… People they won’t leave me alone? It’s like I go somewhere and then like a bajillion people pop out of the walls, completely unelegant in their attacks and then they think that just cause I’m weak I’m going to hand over this thing… phhfff… Hey… How come you never try and take the glove away from me huh?” Kozumi walked while he idly altered the glove with a simple needle and thread, after leaving the craftsmen village they had taken a boat out into the area known as the Federation lands. They had arrived in the area known as Hidden Volcano though you really couldn’t call it a hidden volcano at all, really it was a quite visible volcano with it’s rumblings heard from miles away. Kozumi made several sounds of annoyance as more and more ash floated downward littering his shiny black hair with flecks of grey dust. He slipped a free hand through his hair flicking out the ashes only to have more and more ashes fall into his hair, much to the amusement of his new traveling companion. “It’s not funny GOD DAMNIT!!!” Kozumi raged as he tried to sweep the dust from his hair rather futilely.

Momiji laughed as they walked through the ashen hills surrounding the area known as Hidden Volcano. “Honestly I haven’t tried to take it… simply, because you suck, it’s clear that thing is a dangerous piece of material while it’s wielder is just a sodden heap. Combine those two factors and the plan is clear, let the idiot collect a huge bounty on his head, and when you bring him in for the money you’ll already know all of his moves. It’s as simple as that really, your just another bounty that I plan to collect on sometime in the future, the more I learn about your wimpy skills, the better prepared I am to take you in without much effort on my part ya dig?” Momiji idly observed his traveling companion as he altered the glove that he had become so attached to in the past few days after risking his life over it so many times. “Yah, know crap like that ain’t gunna make the damned thing look any less conspicuous if anything it’ll make it more obvious that your carrying something of value on you. Momiji guffawed with laughter as ashes began to collect on top of Kozumi’s head and he vainly tried to remove each fresh wave as it fell upon his dark locks. “Hahhaaha… wouldn’t be so difficult to manage if you didn’t have that ridiculous haircut yah know? Ohhh… look, he’s back again… and he’s riding something completely different then what we left him on… ughhh… ugly ride…. Doesn’t get much worse then that.” Momiji shook his head as he watched the descending ninja, his arms came to cross across his chest coincidentally right next to the strap that would release the large strange looking blade he kept wrapped in bandages and strapped across his chest. He blew out a calming breath as he listened to Agito’s proposition. “Eh, I’ll go as well, it seems like it could be a fun fight and I’ll probably get some sort of reward for defeating these beasties eh? If so I’m in.” Momiji interceded shaking Agito’s outstretched hand.

Kozumi observed the arrival of Agito with some trepidation, he hadn’t had an encounter with the man yet in which he hadn’t to remove his arm from his flawless body. “I’ll hope you understand, but I’ve been trying to avoid things that would like to kill me, I apply that both to you and the monsters that seem to be trying to escape that big old cave. Yes, I know about them, this item sees everything out there that moves whether it wants to or not. Normally like I said you wouldn’t find me within several hundred miles of that cave, but I suppose that you’ve made the request and I might actually stand a better chance supporting you all in my fashion then I would fair trying to fight you again for control of this gauntlet I will go, but you’ll have to excuse me not exactly wanting to shake your hand, it’s not that I don’t trust you… I just don’t trust you. Every foreign nin I’ve run into in the past week after graduating the academy has wanted to kill me or dismember me, or in this jerks case try and turn me in for a profit.” He said hooking a thumb at Momiji who simply shrugged unapologetically in his defense of the situation. To him it was simply just part of the ninja way of life. “I can make my way to the location on my own, the lack of that truly feircesome mask doesn’t quite abate my reservations about the skills you have that I have yet to see. Momiji san I’m sure would be happy to accompany you on the bird you arrived on though,” Kozumi smiled wickedly knowing even from their short acquaintance Momiji’s general dislike for going much higher then tree level on anything. Without another word he seemed to vanish, of course he hadn’t disappeared simply accelerated his time line so that he was walking, but covering much more distance then anyone else could with that number of strides. He was heading towards the cave now with the intention of bringing down the monsters that lurked there and secretly to collect the hearts of those casualties of battle. He couldn’t help, but think in those terms, the dead had no need of their hearts anymore, so why not use them to make himself safer from the cold and clammy hands of death. He hadn’t exactly mastered how to integrate other peoples hearts into his own body like the rest of his unaesthetic family, but he was learning and he had already obtained several jars that could be used to suspend and preserve the organs found in the human body for a prolonged amount of time.

Unfortunately for Agito Time like always was the main factor and he had wasted his, making his bird do the lead off attack was the first dead giveaway, the bird stopped before it could attack. As Agito stopped and asked his question time stopped, or almost did, Kozumi couldn't stop time, but he could almost make it completely stop. unfortunately for Agito Time controlled speed and Kozumi controlled time meaning that he had complete control over Agito's Speed. With the eye focused on Agito and his bird they now moved in super slow motion giving both genin time to move out of the way of the attack. Kozumi leaped back moving in a time stream so fast that Agito wouldn't even be able to properly keep track of his movements. His hands slipped through the hand seals of a jutsu. “Brain Nanjuu…” if Agito was moving slow before he wouldn’t be moving at all now. His brain had slowed to an extent that Kozumi and the rest of the world was moving at light speed.

Momiji was surprised to see the beast open it’s mouth at him and cowered in fear of it’s rage, but then it stopped right where it was hovering in the air. Momiji moved out of the way of the bird’s blast as it emerged at super slow speeds. Momiji still couldn’t see Kozumi, he was moving way to fast to follow, but Agito wasn’t going anywhere at all now. He wouldn’t take this second offense lightly; he did his own hand seals preparing a jutsu that he failed to speak the name of. All it did was produce a single clone, which then replicated itself into 4 more clones. The clones approached the stopped Agito black armor covering their bodies in diamond hard armor. With their diamond defense active the first one reached out to Agito’s head as he began to squeeze on it in an effort to crush it like an eggshell.

((ahh... fair enough I'll edit))

((hahaha... but it is, even though I doubt that this is the end of it unfortunately sweatdrop ))

"You've surpassed the demon inside, I can do nothing, but elegantly accept your offer," it seemed odd, but his hand simply slipped out of the glove leaving it in Agito's hand. "I hope you don't mind that I saved my friend as my last gesture, he has had nothing to do with this really." He gave a slight bow of respect. "I have training to continue if I am ever to reach the level you have acheived."

Momiji blinked realizing he was still alive, but just barely. He let out a sweet sigh of relief.

Skye entered the village, He asked around a bit for a person who had found a odd looking sword. After around a hour of asking around, Skye found someone who knew about it. "Yea, That guy right there had found it while traveling." The kid exclaimed as Skye shook his head. He looked over to the guy walking towards him. "You... Where is this sword you found?" Skye asked. "Uhhh listen I found no sword." The man cried. "I am not in the mood." Skye announced. "I have no idea what you are talking about." The man said once more. In a second Skye got furious. He lifted the man up as he changed his fist into steel. "Do I have to ask you once more or will you tell me?" Skye said as the man shook his head yes. Skye let him down as the man explained who he had given it to. "Last i saw they were on their way to the hidden heaven village." The man said as he ran off. Skye hopped back on rakiz back and flew to the hidden heaven Village. Someone would know something there.
