Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azami removed the look of apprehension from her face and straightened up "Would you continue to be my ally should I join the Akatsuki?" Azami asked genuinely curious. She had thought Slade had told her he was a hunter nin earlier, and she wondered if her dreams for herself might eventually drive her to be the next target of Slade's occupation

Azami nodded slowly and looked relieved. "Thank you, " Azami paused "I guess" Azami finished whispering the last part under her breath. Azami turned to look out over the fields of grass that surrounded the village her mind drifted through the waving blades as it rippled, almost like water, in the wind. "And what...What have you told me?" Azami asked without turning around to face him, in a voice not like her own.
((WC- 906))

Azami shook her head slightly as if clearing her head. "What was that?" Azami asked in true wonder. She had remembered speaking, but she didn't remember saying it herself. You know damn well what happened! A voice said in Azami's head. "Do I have a, second personality like you now?" Azami asked. She had realized a different voice in her head before, but now it seemed to have spoken.

Azami shook her head once again gazing out into the field of Grass. "No, I will remain in the village a while longer. I need to learn my own villages jutsus if any of my plans are to come to pass" Azami said. Azami took several steps into the field of grass, it reached somewhere around her knees and brushed her legs gently as she walked. She stopped though and turned to face Slade back on the road to the village. "Maybe I'll meet you again later, once I'm done here, where do you plan to journey next?" Azami asked genuinely curious.

Azami nodded and smiled understandingly, I will meet you there soon enough Slade" Azami said, and with that Azami walked off into the field. The wind blew pleasently through her jaws, whirling her hair about in the whirlwind it created around her head. Azami walked until could no longer see the village and she looked around again. In the distance not to far from her she saw a bamboo forest. Azami smiled and headed in that direction.

Entering Hidden Grass Village, Slade’s odd yellow gaze slowly peers out of the shadows caused by his fly trap like appendages as a slight smile forms across his face. “Yes. Nothing seems to be going wrong in this village, and plenty of plants is a good sight.” He says, as he turns and begins walking with a greatly even footing. The long Akatsuki styled cloak sweeping around his body, and swaying with each step his oddly colored form could take. Passing through both grass and flowers, Slade nears the outer walls of his village. His odd yellow eyes slowly being cast over the area, as the smile on his face creeps into a broadening grin. “But what is there left to do in such a place?” He wonders, as he makes a single hand sign and easily passes through the Village Walls and into the Hidden Grass Village beyond. Emerging from the wall on the other side, Slade’s odd yellow eyes slowly scan over the area, in order to judge for any forces that may be against his presence. Thankfully, there were none that he had to worry about at the moment, so with that decided Slade begins walking into the village. As he walks towards the main street. Slade observes the many people here, that were performing jutsu of different kinds. Once in a while he noticed an sunlight based. Or even a grass jutsu being used against another person as training. But not once did he notice anything that was unknown by him. Frowning slightly, Slade stops in the center of the street and makes a spinning motion on one of his heels. Allowing his gaze to sweep over everything he could see of the village to which he had entered. “Did I really learn everything that was needed to learn in this village, already?” He wonders aloud, though just then a figure drops down to land behind him. Grass rising up around Slade’s form, and gaining flowers of different sizes, shapes and colors. “Why hello there....” Slade says, as the figure, a female, smiles in his direction and then makes a series of hand signs before leaping backwards. The plants just as they had sprouted, explode. Though Slade was oddly ready as soon as she had leapt away. Using the grass that this female ninja had summoned, he made a hand sign, almost in matched with her’s and caused it to spring out and trap his opponent’s leg and force her to fall to the ground in mid leap. His fly trap like appendages, closing for the damage of the explosion as he makes a second hand sign in order to sink into the ground and avoid further damage. All of this happening in only a few seconds, in order to maximize the time he spent here, and minimize the damage he was to receive. Rising from the ground, just beside the Plant user. Slade frowns almost darkly, as his dark half takes over for the remainder of this fight. “Now what was that about, girl? Have you no free time that you have to go attacking me with things I am used to using on my own?” His dark half asks, as he raises a hand, and makes a series of hand signs, in order for pollen of the grasses to drop from his enclosed hands, and rain down onto her. These pollen rapidly grow grass around her, causing the grass to then cascade and seal her in place with one of his village’s jutsu. “Come on.. Speak...” He says, as his frown deepens. She was obviously not someone he liked to speak. Though as soon as he trapped her, she had vanished into the grass. “Ugh...” He says, as he looks around for her slowly, moments later she emerged, attacking with a kunai thrown in Slade’s direction. Ducking to the side to avoid the kunai thrown, he was not able to avoid the barrage of strikes the she followed through with, their ending result sending him flying backwards and into a building’s wall. As Slade slowly rises to his feet. She drops down before him, a second kunai in hand as she slashes down once towards his chest. Frowning up at her, he flicks his own kunai from within his cloak and knocks away hers, before thrusting his own hand towards her throat in order to grab and pull her towards himself. Along with choke her a little, if need be. His other hand made hand signs far too slowly, as he growls darkly at her. “If you wont speak, I will talk to you with actions!” He yells as he then raises his knee to her gut, releasing her throat and causing her to collapse onto his knee with a decent deal of force. Smirking both madly and evilly. Slade then throws her away with a backwards slap styled hit, before he rises to his feet. He should obviously be able to out man her. He was a male and she a female. As sexist as that sounded, it was normally the truth in the matter. Running forward, he makes another long series of hand signs before releasing them with a good deal of chakra to be used. Suddenly, trees erupted from the ground and encircled her with an uneven rhythm, soon surrounding Slade as well, as he almost vanishes into their branches, in order to move easily through them and appear behind her. In his wake, leaving seeds of grass in order to cause grass to surround the ground instead of rock. “I have got you now, girl!” He says as he appears behind her rather startled form, dropping down and bringing a kick towards her back. This kick was followed by a hard jab to the back of the head with a closed fist. Slade snarls a little, his dark side taking full control of his actions as he attempts to destroy this female before she could retaliate and attack him back. Leaping off her with a push of his other foot, he flips backwards and uses the Dust Punch technique to hit her in the back of the head with a punch so fast, it was almost unseen by the opponent. Now she was toppling to the ground, and as suddenly as the attack was made, she was falling away into a clone made of almost pure sand. Frowning, Slade spins around, looking everywhere for where his opponent could have gone. Unsure as to weather she had moved into the foliage of the bushes and trees that made up this village now, or if she was just hiding on a branch. Out of no where shuriken were flung through the air, directly from behind Slade. Though he spun around, and rose a hand to knock it away with another of his defensive jutsu. With a wicked grin, Slade ran forward, making hand signs swiftly, as he leaps forward and then releases the signs with a burst of chakra. The branches and trees around his opponent, constrict, and attack. Slashing with blunt limbs in order to bash her to, and into the ground with hardly a sound. She was easily hit, and knocked to the ground with little then a word, as Slade lands before her. “I am usually not a killer... But since you have wasted so much of my time, I can make an exception and slaughter you coldly....” Slade’s light side says, having finally come back to the surface once the fight had ended. Laying there limply, she made no reply. Frowning now, Slade releases the jutsu and allows for the area around him to collapse and fall to a greenish dust, leaving nothing but the dust to show the forest had been there. As soon as it was all gone, he rose a hand, a single black thorn emerging from his hand as he then slashes down, ending this female's life as quickly as it had come into his presence. He did not need to know what her intentions were, for she was of a village he had once been to, and no she was attacking him with techniques that he already knew. With a slow roll of his eyes he leans and allows his flytrap like appendages to swallow the body without a second word. There was no reason to leave a corpse laying in the middle of his own village. Now, shrugging his shoulders, Slade turns and begins walking away from where the fight had been, heading away to see if he could find his home which he believed should be near by. Though it had been a while since he had been to his own village, and therefore things may have changed here.

As Ayami would start her trek to the village hidden in the grass a small flicker would appear behind her from the ship. A small poof of smoke and that was all that would happen as Ayami was followed completely, incapable of escaping the excessively fast Anbu Hido. What had happened from that poof of smoke was too simple, but amazingly combine things. One was that Hido had summoned his giant chameleon using it's cloaking skill to make both him and the chameleon invisible. The second was activating the Zodiac Formation: Hare Technique, forming a single handsign to make him fast enough to almost keep up with Sanbi. He followed Ayami waiting to see what she was doing.
