Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaji gave a shrug when he was asked why he always ate meat. "It was what I was raised on, and my body doesn't like fruits and vegetables." He said as he tried to stretch, but only ended up popping his claws. "I still can't move properly..." He groaned as he leaned over and started to drink the bowl of water Kurosai had left for him.

It was a few hours before Kurosai returned. The wolf had caught a deer by himself and dragged it all the way back to the house. He let out a sharp bark at the door and waited for someone to answer. Kaji forced himself to roll off of the couch and fall onto his face. He slowly dragged himself over to the door and opened it. He was met a shocked Kurosai, and quickly dragged back inside an placed on the couch. Kurosai then dragged the deer inside and closed the door. When the smell of blood filled Kaji's nose he seemed to perk right up and he reached out to the deer. He popped his claws and took a chunk out of the deer's neck. As he placed the raw meat into his mouth Kaji could feel his strength returning. He managed to stand up and begin feasting on the animal's corpse like a savage animal. He continued to eat until the deer was nothing but intestines, a skeleton and shreds of fur.

He looked up at Novvus and then down at the remains of the deer, and coughed up a tuft of fur. "Umm...yeah...sorry about the mess..." He said as he realized he'd covered the room in blood spatter and fur. Kurosai was already licking up the blood though so a quick sweeping with a broom would clean most of it up. "And now that I can move again I have to ask. Why didn't you just finish me off?" Kaji inquired as he assumed a covertly defensive position just in case Novvus attacked again.

Aizen Seemed a bit excited as he quickly opened the door to the registration office. The registration office was a place in which to obtain squad information and alignment with others, also the current mission boards were usually flooded with tasks in which to do. Aizen noticed a Missin-Nin update upon the registration desk and seen that it had a reward and such to it. more rogue shinobi from our village huh... interesting He calmly made a mental note of the names but sadly there weren’t any photo’s to go about. He brushed it off and then spoke to the desk clerk while looking at her name tag. Mrs. Mikoto I’d like to get Squad alignment with this person to my right, his name is Koji and he’s a recent graduate just as I am. We’d also like to sign up for Marketing business partners as well. oh and by the way you have a beautiful blouse on today, your figure is quite marvelous! The clerk woman looked at Aizen and let him finish before speaking to him. Well Aizen Aburame it seems like both of your papers and information have already been filed by Sato, the Academy Graduate professor; however, you still need these access keycards for your multipurpose entrance to everything in which our shinobi forefathers have given you. So here you go and keep those keycards with you at all times, they’re more like a balance book of what you have and what you don’t have and or need. and thank you on the compliment you hunk! the last little bit Mikoto whispered to Aizen in a playful manner just before tapping his hand and giving him their keycards. Looks like we got that settled now, lets go do something... ah I remember food! lets get some ramen! Aizen quickly gripped Koji’s palm as he yanked him out side and then released him only to run off into the distance. I’m soo hungry I could eat a entire Bear right now!

Slightly dumbstruck by how Aizen tended to take charge of whatever situation they were placed in, Koji decided to let him do most if not all of the talking for the two now that he had already run them through the whole graduation, and now the registration process in a matter of hours. While in the office, like Aizen, Koji looked over the soon to be posted flyers for a new batch of missing nin... the lucky bastards being able to break away from the village, but if the village had its way that would not last for too long.

"Well Aizen now that we are all set up, and its obvious that you are still starving, I think it would be ..." Koji began to say as Aizen quickly interjected with the exact same thought, throwing Koji off balance mentally, and then grabbed his hand and led him out of teh building into the still damaged village. "You know we really should be helping out with all of this... but I guess if they really need us to assist them they will set up some missions for us to do so. I mean hell I won't work for free." Koji thought to himself as the pair walked through the village, with Koji shaking off Aizen's hold after a matter of seconds after leaving the building.

"You know Aizen, I think that we should also start getting ourselves battle ready at some point." Koji said while the two walked, peering down the sporadic side streets as they walked, with the occasional beggar occupying the cramped alleyway in between the buildings. "With this attack as an example, I don't think we would have survived if we had been caught in the direct attacking, or bombing, however the hell the assailants pulled this off." Koji stated now stretching his hands behind his head, lacing his fingers behind his neck as he walked. Letting his statements linger in Aizens mind, the two were quickly approaching the Ramen stand, as the savory smells began to enter Koji's head, almost doubling his current hunger, as a combination of his high metabolism and earlier fatigue were beginning to catch up with him.

Aizen rushed into the Ramen shop and then leaned back into the ally way once more. ”eh hey Koji What would you like? He questioned his new teammate just before throwing his head forwards only to come face to face with the Chef, I’ll have two bowls of beef ramen! Ooo! and put extra beef into it please!!! Aizen then suddenly swung around the corner to see Koji finally catch up to him, he sighed once more and asked what he wanted to eat with impatience's. Finally sitting down on the stool bench Aizen looked over at Koji and laughed a little bit. Koji my friend you worry too much about things, hmm... Just do your best and learn whatever it is in which fits your persona as for me, I’m going with medical jutsu! although the basic Water Techniques are still critical to my uprising! not to mention I noticed you eyeing that posted of the Missin-Nin, forget about them for now we’ve got to obtain our own will and then go with it. We’ll see battle soon enough my friend, soon enough indeed! Ah what do you say about a sparing match! just the two of us! I hate making appearances but hell.... why not the middle of the village so everyone can see how Epic we are! Maybe we can get some work then. he laughed as his ramen was set in front of him, suddenly he was silent. His eyes were closed and then he took in a deep breath and then savagely dug into his Ramen like a hungry dog attacking it’s food. Oh my gawd! it’s sooo delicious! Thank you! thank you! thank you! Mmmm! Dan-Sama you make the best ramen in town! The Chef chuckled before waving it off like it was a mere gesture of kindness. inhaling his food he looked to his right to see his friend Koji enjoying the food just as much as he was. He tried talking with his mouth full but didn’t think it came out to a verbal understanding. mmm, du his s od! he tried to say dude this is good, but it came out a complete disaster, None the less he would finish his first bowl of ramen only to start on his second, his chopsticks quickly struck a ordering tablet of sushi as Dan quickly brought it out. Aizen thanked him with a muffled groaning sound of unimaginable thankfulness.

Novvus followed closely after Kurosai and Kaji, the words that latter still reverberating in the dark-skinned boy's head.
The closest thing he has to a father... An explosion went off up the street, causing the feral boy to roar in anger. He bounded off in the direction of the explosion, causing Novvus to follow him once again. After dodging projectiles created by Kaji clearing a path, they came to a house that had been almost flattened.

"OLD MAN TOUSAN!" cried the feral boy as he began trying to lift the wall under which a hand protruded. As he strained further and further, a second chakra tail began to form from the base of the first, apparently flooding Kaji with the strength needed to toss the wall aside as if it weighed nothing at all. Stifling his chakra, the feral boy picked up the unconscious old man.

"Here," said Novvus digging into the small pouch of Senzu Beans and handing one to Kaji, "When he starts coming to, give him this. For now follow me. The best place for Tousan right now is the hospital." The dark-skinned boy set off towards the center of the village. The Medical Center was situated a good distance away from the Residential District but was fairly close to the restaurants. Hopefully it's still standing... thought Novvus as he led the way through the wreckage, looking back often to see if Kaji and Tousan were faring well .

Kaji started to breathe very heavily as a strange feeling came over him. "Get...get Tousan to the hospital." Kaji groaned He could hear his own heart beating in slow motion, and groaned as his face contorted with pain. It felt like there was something inside of his body trying to claw it's way out. He let out a strained growl and dropped to one knee. His chakra started to flow wildly and he was just barely able to get away from old man Tousan before his chakra cloak reformed in a violent eruption. He let out a loud roar and then something else spoke through Kaji. "You took care of Kaji once...You shall be avenged Tousan..." The strange voice said as the chakra around Kaji flared up to even more intense levels. Kaji's arms hung loose and he slowly fell to all fours as the second tail of his chakra cloak finished forming.

Kaji was obviously no longer in control at all and the seal on his stomach began to glow brightly and then one of the symbols faded away into nothingness. "You!" The voice growled at Novvus. "We have unfinished business." It snarled. Kaji looked down at Tousan and then back up at Novvus. "If the old man dies, so do you." Fenrir threatened. Tousan came too just long enough to choke out one last request. "Save the village..." Was all he could say before he lapsed into unconsciousness. His state was rapidly deteriorating, and the chakra cloak bristled with rage.

Somewhere in his mind Kaji heard Tousan's final request and manged to wrestle control of his body away from Fenrir. Kaji looked up at Novvus and then back to Tousan. "Get him to a medical center. I'll save as many as I can." Kaji growled as he looked toward the burning rubble that was once part of the village. "Kurosai...go with Tousan, and keep him safe." Kaji said darkly as his own personal rage threatened to burst forth at any moment.

Suddenly he was gone again in sonic boom and the fires were extinguished one by one as Kaji ran past them. Kaji sniffed out any survivors he could find and broke apart buildings to get to them. As he struck one building's wall the entire structure collapsed and Kaji threw himself over top of a small child. Kaji shielded the child with his chakra cloak leaving himself exposed. The rubble fell onto his body breaking bones and crushing limbs, but he maintained his chakra cloak above the child and as his last act before falling unconscious he threw the rubble away from the child. His claws and fangs retracted Kaji's blood seeped away into the soil.

Hibiki nodded, "Yes it is time..." He trailed off with his sentence as him and Kuro whipped their heads to face the street from inside the pharmacy. Dropping his hands from his nose, and ignoring the pungent odor that penetrated it, he closed his eyes as he focused his chakra to his senses. "Something's wrong." The Inuzuka noted fiercely as he slowing made his way to the repaired windows. It came slowly, as if a torrent of water was sweeping across Kiri. Then, just like a volcanic eruption, the sound of explosions were all over the small market district of the Hidden Mist Village. The very building the team was in began to convulse as the torrent had finally caught up with them. Rubble was being thrown all over the place. Kuro yipped at the others inside as he dodged the piece of ceiling that almost dropped on him, while Hibiki turned and shouted, "Guys! We need to get out of here before it collapses!"

Rushing out of the building that was threatening to collapse, Hibiki noticed that it wasn't just this place that was being 'attacked' but most of the marketplace, which could lead to most of the town, or even the mizukage! Explosions were all over the place as kunai, and shuriken traps were being activated while ninja fled to and from the various scenes. Overwhelmed by the situation, Hibiki just stood in unbelievable awe at the chaos that was sweeping through the country. "Medic!" Someone cried out, a middle-aged shinobi who wore mostly bandages, and as soon as he shouted, three medical nin seemed to come out of nowhere to help the target. Many of the Mist shinobi were out helping the townspeople, rather the worry about the possible attackers, which made sense. Hibiki and Kuro exchanged a nod and a glance as they bounded off, away from Kyu ad Rinku as he followed the scent of blood that had made its way through his nose.

It was a few seconds until him and Kuro had found someone being buried in rubble. Easily digging through the mess, the duo shouted, (or in Kuro's case, howl) to alert the nearby medics. They responded immediately and helped the man, who ran a smithery and looked quite annoyed by the fact that he was being helped by ninja. Kuro ran ahead and began to help out other civilians that were either injured via traps, or by damage of their buildings by howling, which alerted nearby ninja. Mimicking his feral partner, Hibiki sniffed out other townspeople, signaling for other shinobi, or helping them out if they aren't too injured. I don't understand, The wild brown-haired boy thought as he ran between people in need of help, Who would attack the Hidden Mist Village in such a way? The most this would do is serve as a distraction, since nobody would waste time attacking the marketplace or the slums. If this was really an attempt at harming the village, the attempt was poor.

Hibiki and Kuro had ventured far away from the pharmacy, even past the sketchy, new shop they were observing earlier. They were halfway through some residential districts before noticing how far away they were. Victims of the attack were becoming scarce and the Inuzuka duo didn't want to be venture too far away from their original mission, hell it wasn't even the mission he was worried about. It was his two teammates who he had just abandoned to help the villagers of Kiri. "Probably should get back to them, eh?" Hibiki questioned his vulpine friend before doing an about face.
