Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zocho was a formitable opponent. I didn't expect a homeless guy to be that strong. BUt then again, I don't think he told me everything about his ninja career.

"So Zocho, tommorow is my last day here in the Village. We really need to catch up on our training..." said Exo. "Okay...It's nice to see there are still people in the world. Thank you for giving me a friend," said Zocho. "Don't get all soft on me Zocho, you homeless basterd. I tend to befriend anyone I meet. As long as they aren't total douches." "Yeah, I still stand by my statement," said Zocho. "Good night, Exo." "Yeah, just....good night," said Exo as he went to sleep. Zocho woke up in the middle of the night and snuck out. He went to a bar, but not for a usual night cap. He went to meet someone. "Operation: X is in effect!" said Zocho. "Good," said the man. Zocho felt bad for Exo, he fekt bad for what he was in for. Exo woke up shortly after Zocho left. "Zocho.....Zocho where the hell are you?" asked Exo.

Exo started the hand seal for 128 strikes of Divination and Nightmare ran towards him and tackled him. Exo didn't complete the hand seal. "I'd like to see you take me on!!!!" said Nightmare. "What the hell do you think I was just doing? Taking you off?"asked Exo. "Sarcasm is pointless when it's not funny, Exo," said Nightmare. "Oh, I'm sorry! I thought this was a fight, not the roast of Exo!" Zocho kicked Exo from behind. Exo stumbled forward into Nightmare's reach. Nightmare uppercut Exo into the air and used Stone Avalanche. Exo reached the ground and the stones were about to hit him. He did a hand seal and summoned Spyder. Spyder slapped the stones out of the way, right before they hit Exo. "That's crap!" Nightmare two pieced rofl Spyder and sent him flying into the air. Nightmare moved from his current spot to avoid Spyder landing on him. Zocho went picked up his guitar blade and threw it at Exo. Exo used Dragon Hammer to block the attack and sent the sword towards Nightmare. Nightmare dodged, but ended up in the same location he was before. Spyder landed on him hard.

Hurdy was once again on the boat for the Hidden Rain village, he was very interested in a technique from here. If he could learn one that was good, then he could easily be ahead, no one really came to hidden rain, so their jutsu would be new and unused for the most part. Hurdy knew atleast one had to be useful. He would find it and utilize it for sure. He had seen jutsu from here used before, Drago used one and was almost killed when he and Nova took him on. That had been a bad day, since Hurdy was juts the help and a weaker ninja took care of a sannin.

Hurdy stopped and looked ahead as four men blocked the road. All held weapons, and people smiled, backing into houses. The rain drenched the men, and Hurdy looked, unimpressed. They ment to fight him, but Hurdy would easily dispurse of them. They were noting to him. He stepped forward, foot after foot until he was within five feet of the men. He reconized what they were wearing, he saw it recently but he couldn't remeber where. They came to him, and stepped to his back left, front right, front left and back right, squaring him in. He shook his head and looked at the one to his immediate right.

Hurdy jumped back, pulling the man into his spot, before he died with a pike to the head. Hurdy turned to the man circling around, he wasn't that far to Hurdy's right. He left the other man who was taking his pike out of his comrade's head. Hurdy moved swiftly up to the man and grabbed him by his neck. He spun around fast, and let go of him, throwing him far to his left. The man got his pike free, and run toward Hurdy again, rolling toward him. Hurdy put his foot out it hit the man's back, pinning him in place. he couldn't move, and Hurdy let go momentarily before kicking him with the other foot.

Hedoro

Hedoro had gotten on board the boat, when she realized her destination. Hidden Rain, the village she'd called home for the first years of her life. It had been a horrible childhood, that was why she was trying to get stronger. To get her revenge on those who'd done such things to her. The boat had already pulled away from Nano, unless she wanted to swim back she was stuck. She wasn't positive that she was ready for this, but she'd find out soon enough.
(1 of 6.5)

She simultaneously dreaded and looked forward to the coming reuinion, to all that would soon occur. She wasn't naive enough to think she could enter unnoticed, those who'd been after her would surely make their presence known now. She'd been lucky so far, managing to stay close to bigger crowds and such while she travelled, not giving her enemies a chance to move without attracting unwanted attention.
(2 of 6.5)

But luck didn;t last forever, she knew that to be the truth. One way or another, what would come would settle things between her and her enemies. She would either triumph against them, or she would be defeated and captured once again. She'd sooner die than live through such captivity again, though, so she'd put her all into securing her freedom with her own strength. She would not be taken alive!
(3 of 6.5)

Finally, the boat reached Hidden Rain. The moment she'd seen it in the distance, all the memories from before came flashing back to her, in all their grey-tinged intensity. She felt something in her chill, as she felt the warmth leech out of her. That warmth, it had made her weak. Weak and foolish. What had it been called, friendship? She didn't need friends, she needed power.
(4 of 6.5)

Moving off the boat, she walked briskly through the town. She wore a disguise almost identical to the one she'd left in, and made no effort to hide in the shadows. If there existed anyone in the village who was looking for her, they'd find her soon enough. And when they did, she'd be ready. Even now, she was carefully watching every person who got even slightly close to her, cautious despite her display of bravado.
(5 of 6.5)

She hadn't pulled a weapon, no, such an action would only give any watchers proof that she was nervous. Instead, she stayed barehanded, gloves would be enough for what she'd need to do. She could pull out a weapon in just a fraction of a moment, so if someone did try to start something, she'd be able to finish it very quickly. But even so, that didn't stop her old paranoia from resurfacing, making her think each shadow held an enemy, and each noise was a sign of impending doom and bloodshed. It painted the entire world in a very bleak hue, just like what she'd seen every day for so many long years.

Hedoro

Prowling through the city, Hedoro kept an eye on her surroundings, slipping back into the old patterns she'd lived by for so long. Inattention would lead to disaster, every moment needed to be spent watching. The moment that one let down their guard, that was when their enemies would strike. But she would not wait for her enemies to attack her, she would bring the fight to them. Even though she'd only left the building once, during her escape, she still remembered where it was. And no surprise, her last captor had been one of the wealthiest citizens of Hidden Rain. As such, their house was quite impressive, and very large.
(1 of 10)

She could already see it, sticking above the other buildings, it's stature making it easy to spot from quite some distance. She marched towards it with grim intent, wouldn't they be surprised to see her? Oh yes, it would certainly come as a shock to them. Not that they'd stay surprised for long, no, they'd relax soon enough. She'd see to that, this was the moment she'd been waiting for all these years, when she would finally have her vengeance. She neared the edge of the city, her old captor's house was near it's outskirts, enough that she actually had to enter an open plain on the way.
(2 of 10)

Stopping in her tracks, she froze as she heard a barking. She hadn't thought anyone else had been in the field, had she been wrong? Looking in all directions, she tried to find the source of the barking, if it was just a dog, or somethign more. She crouched a little lower to the ground, minimizing her profile as she prepared herself for an attack from any direction. She had still seen no proof that it was an enemy, but in her situation, that was the only thing she could take into account. They were an enemy until they proved otherwise.

Hedoro

Hedoro heard the voice call out, telling her to come out of hiding, that they didn't mean any harm. She didn't believe that for a second, she was paranoid by nature, she wouldn't believe something like that even if the one who'd said it was an honest-to-goodness saint. Why then would she believe that this person, who she knew absolutely nothing about, was speaking the truth? There was no reason for it, she didn't trust people easily, especially strangers. So she stayed where she was, although she did call out saying she had no quarrel with them, they could just go their seperate ways, there was no reason for them to fight. It was true enough, she didn't want to fight unless she needed to. She'd guard herself ferociously, but she wouldn't pick a fight with someone without reason. Things like that, they just drew attention to her, and that was the last thing she wanted.

((Hedoro's too much of a loner to just start training with someone, we can do this later if you're having scheduling issues? (And you might want to have Naomi mention she'd been hired to bring Hedoro back, otherwise Hedoro would have no reason to fight.)))
