Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't let that hunger take over you, child." Slade's dark side says, chuckling lightly as he crosses his arms over his chest, beneath the Akatsuki styled plain black cloak he wore. The twin flytrap like appendages off his shoulders, closed a little, not out of fear or in order to hide his face. But more out of just because they could. Odd yellow eyes calmly peered out of the jaws of his appendages, as they looked over the Clan Familiar that he saw before him. It was not often that he saw another of his own clan, but since people were staring at her, and not at him, it was clear that she was new. And therefore people were not used to her presence yet. "Wipe your mouth, and take a seat. It looks like we're going to have a decent little discussion." Slade's dark side then says, this side of slade hadn't been out in a good while now, and needed a little time to talk like Slade's Light side had. Slade now remains where he is, waiting for the female to walk over and take a seat beside him on the bench.

Eluamous supposed that Agito was not accustoemd to mounting anything, a small chuckle escaping at the double meaning while Agito struggled to stay on the dragon; but as they landed, a ringing in his mind could be heard as the black dragon spoke to him mentally. Fai Ryu spoke within Eluamous's mind as not to alarm the other too much; after all, this Kage seemed to be attraction to bad luck, possibly due to his own clumsiness... How he'd even become a Kage was beyond him, but Eluamous ignored that stray thought; focusing in the direction that Fai Ryu had pointed, indeed something was watching them... and it did look like a plant... Recalling his lessons on the different clans of an area, he quickly nudged Agito and spoke out of the corner of his mouth; unsure if this was a friendly or an enemy; "Don't look suspicious, but there's a member of the Zetsu clean nearby... that thing that looks like a venus fly trap... it's not a plant, its a person... Just act natural, but get ready for anything... I'm not sure if this is a friend or foe..." Glancing around using only his eyeballs, not moving his head, Eluamous sighted another, and then saw the man move towards them; two members of the Zetsu clan nearby... A cloak of some sort, black without an insignia. It appeared as if it could be one of the Akatsuki's cloaks... the organization that Tsuki mentioned being on a hunt for... But without an insignia it would be difficult to tell what this man's motive was... Their best odds were likely to approach and ask if the Zetsu were friend or foe, but that venus fly trap appendage covering the torso was certainly intimidating at the very least. Still, nothing could ever be gained without a little bit of risk; and they would certainly look suspicious if they remained there not doing anything... Nodding to himself, Eluamous made an order to Fai Ryu to remain overhead in case anything should happen and then began to walk towards the two members of the Zetsu clan.

"There are others of our clan, you're not the only one..." Slade's light side says for a moment, as Slade turns and looks at her, past his flytrap like appendages. His yellow eyes though, had turned after looking at his fellow clan member, to look in the direction of those that had appeared in his village. Ugh.. Stupid shinobi here to fight or something.. We'll just leave them be... If they come over here... I don't want to hear your threats, shut up and talk to the girl! Fine.. Runs through Slade's mind, a silent and unheard conversation between his two minds before he speaks to this girl before him. "I'm Slade Zetsu." He says, raising his right hand and holding it out to her, as it slips free of the black cloak he wore. His odd yellow eyes turning back to look her over for a moment, though obviously. For the moment there was nothing to see. "Fresh out of the Academy, and already secured a meal. Good for you. Try not to feast in your own village..." Slade's dark half says, as he frowns slightly.

"Not too many active ones. Sadly. Never too many people around anymore.. He says, shaking his head slowly before turning his full attention to the girl beside him. "Because it is your village. And in less you want to become part of the missing ninja. You wont attack your own villagers.." he frowns a little. "It wont be a good idea, to have an entire village hunting you down." He then says, before he chuckles lightly. He would be a hunter as well, naturally. Though only because it would be his village she attacked. Not because he was a hunter nin.

Azami nodded as if these bits of knowledge were obvious, and only just now did she see the other ninja's around them especially the boy with the bags. Azami's eyes widened slightly. She leaned forward to Slade "I haven't told you my name, Its Azami, but thats not important right this second. That ninja behind us? The one with the bags. He's getting ready to fight us. He's the same kind of ninja that provided my first meal. The bags are full of clay, that they can make explode. He just took a mouthful of clay he's waiting to attack." Azami said as she punctuated this sentance with a nod to appear un-suspicious to the ninja. She felt poud being able to share this information with a senior ninja.

Eluamous was somewhat surprised to hear of this, not expecting the clan to be cannibals... his main interest in them was their grass-based jutsu, an advanced variant of the earth element. While he'd nown they could kill people with their traps, he'd not known they were cannibals... "Simply put... I've a curiosity in them... they rely on their traps to kill enemies... but what happens if and when their traps are pierced... When they cannot counter opponents as they think... I admit... I'm always a bit happy for battles, I love a strong opponent... the clash of blades and thrill of a fight... I've never fought an opponent like this before... and I doubt the world would miss one more cannibal if they're as you claim them to be..." Sighting the man who possessed the cloak similar to that of the Akatsuki; he walked over towards him, remaining calm, but at about a distance of ten feet from the man; speaking... "Are you with the Akatsuki... and are you, as my companion claims, a cannibal man trap?" The term 'man trap' being a "half breed" play on words refering to both a man and a venus fly trap. He kept an eye on the man's plant appendage covering most of his torso; cautious about going anywhere near the thing as he kept his guard relatively calm; a folded Windmill Shuriken hidden within his gauntlet and the great black dragon, Fai Ryu, not too far from the area should they require any aid. THough only ranked as a Gennin, Eluamous had the heart for battle, and the blood of a Spartan warrior flowed through him; igniting his soul on fire at the prospect of a strong opponent. He had gone up against a jounin once before, seeking only to assist a friend from Hidden Cloud by breaking the Genjutsu that the jounin was casting; and instead had been repelled backwards and nearly killed by a member of the Akatsuki during the battle of Hidden Snow... Persevering and growing stronger with each battle, after each series of injuries inflicted upon him; Eluamous was now a well refined fighting machine, a human tank.

Agito walked behind Eluamous slowly as he got the craziest urge for his saki. If he hadn't had a drink he would revert back to his old self. So Agito's hands then sucked the chakra from the clay turning it back to normal as he dropped it back into his bag and pulled out a bottle of saki. Agito then took a couple gulps of the saki adn he wiped his mouth and a smile formed again. He then picked up his bag, put it on his back, and then started to jog in order to catch up to Eluamous. " yea, I've heard that they eat ninja with those giant jaws of death and have like..nine different personalities." Agito was obviously off about the personalities thing, well some might have that many but that would only be because they have mental issues, not because that is how their clan is. But Agito didn't know so he just spewed out whatever he had heard form the other villagers in the hidden stone village. For a village that didn't have many shinobi, most of the information he was told was pretty reliable, most likely because they are always in different villages and only come the the hidden stone on some occasions. That is most likely why they have so few, because everyone left to the village they spent the most time in, which wasn't the hidden stone village. As Agito and Eluamous walked closer and closer to the pair, Agito began to get more and more nervous. Agito then took another couple gulps of saki as he looked at the two. " just to be clear, I don't taste very well" Agito said to the two members of the Zetsu clan. He was not as scared as he sounded, he was more or less just acting like a dummy like he usually did. His hunter's eyes scanned the two, memorizing their aura so now that was two more people he could track across the world. It was indeed a handy technique for opponents who tried to hit and run or who tried to cloak their presence to kill like some hidden mist ninja with their mist jutsu. The mouths on Agito's hands had closed u and vanished so that the opponent would see them along with his ally. It was best to keep most abilities secret until needed. That was why he didn't show Eluamous his new summon. It was not to get the drop on I'm as much as it was better for him not to know just in case he was hit with some kind of genjutsu in which he had to spill everything he knows to the opponent. Agito stood farther away form the two than Eluamous did. Agito loved the thrill of battle but didn't like the thought of being eaten. Trusting people was allot easier than trusting beasts who eat other people ,no matter who they are, They might even snap and bite someone's head off with their giant man trap jaws on their shoulders..or maybe it WAS their shoulders.

[Agito, if you continue to post 500 words for each post. I think I'll worship you o.o;]
[I'm having what you say come after me, if that's all right Yuan? I kind of wrote all this, then checked and saw you reply xD]
Being unable to reply to Azami, since these two males had walked up, and spoken to him. Slade turns on the bench, before rising to his feet and crossing his arms across his bare chest, beneath the plain black Akatsuki styled cloak that he wore. "I am not even closely part of the Akatsuki Organization. Their habit of dress, is simply more comfortable then the armor, like you wear." Slade says, as a slow frown begins to form across his lips once again. The large fly trap like appendages that were half open around his head, closing a little more, in order to allow only his odd yellow eyes to fully be able to be seen through the teeth of the appendage. "As for your 'cannibal man trap' question.." Slade's dark half starts, as his head turns within the appendage to allow his odd yellow gaze to center on the other male, who had just said how he was not tasty. "I eat people. But I don't eat living people. Idiots." His dark side then says, adding in the insult as both for it being part of how he normally speaks, as well as showing a little of the annoyance at being interrupted in the middle of a conversation with a Clan mate. Now, all he had to do, was wait for the responses of the two standing before him. Though as soon as he had finished speaking, a familiar voice had come to his senses. Turning his gaze once again, he raises an eyebrow at the vanishing garb before noticing that his ally was already drapped across his shoulders. "Nice of you to return, Yuan. Having fun where ever you've been at?" He asks, before hearing the rest of hat Yuan was saying. Spouse?! A wife..? Who does he mean!? Probably Azami...Oh... Well, that does make a little sense, almost an easy mistake I suppose... Under a few conditions.. That's rather calm for you. Shut up! Runs the conversation in Slade's mind, as he listens, though he decides not to say a word, after all. THis could surely get them out of the delema that may be a start of a fight.
