Crius raises an eyebrow slightly, turning his head to glance at the female behind him. He hadn't noticed her approach, though he did not seem too bothered by this. "Just watching someone die like this, is rather humorous. You wouldn't mind if I took the body, once you two are done with him. Where ever he went?" Crius asked as he stands and turns to look at Shisui. At the same moment, a second female seemed to drop from the air itself, to land slightly behind Crius. Maeva had just returned from where she had stayed in Hidden Magic. Her rather emotionless gaze peering past Crius, at the female beyond him though she was silent.

As the sword wielder scanned the ground, looking for Yuan, Yuan himself rose from the ground between two buildings one door down from where the man stood atop the roof. Yuan made several hand signs, and suddenly leapt upwards. Yuan shot through the gap between the two buildings, several yards away from the swordsman. Yuan held a hand up to his mouth, as though he were about to release a fire technique, but when he released his huge breath, he expelled a cloud of soot and ash. The black cloud rushed across the rooftops, blacking out the sky and limiting sight the cloud swirled and hung over the rooftops. Yuan was no longer visible.

Shisui giggled covering her mouth, "Your an Akasun then? Normally I would welcome you to it, but I doubt they'll be much left of the unfortunate soul after Koujin-chan is done with him. Yah see, during the last great shinboi war, you were probably too young to participate, he served as a spy under the Fuhrer of Alchemy, Howard Shirokarasu. He saw what that man did to those who died around him and from that point on he makes a point of destroying the bodies of his enimies completely so that no one can do the things he saw that evil man do to the souls of the dead. He'll usually burn the corpse and keep some of the ashes so that the body can't be put together again even through Alchemy." she smiled softly as she ate her snack and continued to lean against the wall of the shop next to the young Akasun. She ruffled his hair slightly with her hand. "Sorry kid, you just came to the wrong battle if you were looking for a body." Just as Yuan came up to roof level, the koujin in front of him dived off of it, leaving a good amount of space between Yuan and the next Koujin a roof over. As Yuan let loose the cloud of smoke and ash the Koujin that was still on the roof top swung the sword in his right hand up into the air and drew a twin to the short sword he already wielded in his left hand. Sweeping them across his body the clone launched the Peacock whirlwind of hidden craftsman at Yuan which would blow his smoke and his body in the other direction, keeping the skies clear at least for now. The clones began to move following the line of the attack so that they could keep track of the young boy with the sword. Back on the ground the real Koujin stood focusing on something as he moved wabisuke to his left hand, being an ambidextorous swordsman had it's own unique advantages. Something strange was occuring on his right wrist though, as what appeared to only be a simple interlocking tattoo began to curl and twist up his arm.

As the smoke and ash began to be blown away, there was a bang sound from within the cloud. Without warning, tons of weapons began flying out of the cloud in multiple directions towards the shadow clones. Spiked balls, suriken, kunai, swords, daggers. They all seemed to grow out of the, now massive, cloud that was slowly moved down the row of houses. The rain of weapons ripped into the roofs, ground and everything else as Yuan launched his Rising Twin Dragons technique from his hidden location within the cloud.

"Pitty.. That male seemed to be such a unique specimen too." Crius says, though he slowly rolls his shoulders in a shrug. "Maybe I can negotiate an exception, before the body is destroyed. Clearly, whatever personal belongings that the future dead may posses, can be transfered over to you two. I wont exactly need them." He says after a moment, his gray eyes following the movements of the battle as he stands there. Maeva remained silent, watching Shisui instead of the battle, with her coldly unemotional eyes. She hadn't spoken a word as of yet, since there was nothing that needed for her to say, that Crius could not say himself.

 Nara Dev had his Peach jacket on with it's black undershirt. The lower section of his body contained his black tight pants that stuck to his skin like glue. He had black skates on and then he was slowly saying side to side as he was riding the skates. Hm. Maybe later I could think of a way to fuse my chakra with the wheel of the skates. I could go a lot faster and I would be able to glide through the air. Nara Dev continued swaying side to side as he slowly moved along the straight ground. He looked down at the ground as it looked like it was moving and he was staying still. He then looked back up noticing the lack of ground. He looked a little bit lower seeing a hill going down and then he stopped swaying. He began slowly down until he finally got to the place where the hill started. He then began gaining speed as he swiftly took off down the hill. He bent his knees so that he was low to the ground and his hair swayed behind him and his jacket caught with the wind as it was slowing him down, but not enough. He then jumped in the air and then because of gravity he came down pretty quickly but he landed on a rail and he began grinding on it all the way down. He then slipped and fell off the rail. He landed on the cement and began rolling down the hill at a great speed. He then pushed against the ground after he was at the bottom of the hill on flat ground and then he was up. He had bruises on him now and there was dirt all over his casual suit. Dev swiped himself down not really helping at all and then he limped over to the rail. He sat down on it and then looked at his black skates. A tear dropped out of his eyes and then it flew down through the air and landed on his skates. The wheels had cracked while he was rolling down the heal and they were not ride able and unfix able. Dev then took them off and then limped over to a bridge that led over a river that flowed through Konoha. I promise, I will figure out a way to ride my skates perfectly. He then threw the skates out into the river and then turned around and began walking in his black socks down the road. Dev wiped another tear off of his face as it dripped to the ground. Stop crying you crybaby. Look forward and never give up. Raise your chin and stop disrespecting yourself. Dev looked up as the tears on his face disappeared and then he stood there looking up trying to prevent any tears from coming down his cheek again. He then kept walking as his eyes were a bit red from the tear ducts and he continued walking not knowing what to do at since his most prized hobby was gone until he could raise enough money to buy some new roller blades. He then yawned a little bit and he knew that he was going to need a part time job. Maybe I could deliver ramen. Oh wait. I don't have my skates. He then raised his hand to scratch his head as he thunk as hard as he can about an idea for a part time job. Everything he had done had involved roller blades though and he couldn't have lived without them. Maybe I should still some new pair of skates. No, that would not be the honorable thing to do. Dev continued walking leaving the mystery unsolved as he continued to try and solve it. Dev then looked around at his surroundings seeing if there were any money making actions he could choose. He saw the ramen shop and then he continued to look around and saw nothing. I guess I could flicker around. Nara Dev then turned and walked over to the ramen shop and then the owner of the fast food place acknowledged him and asked him if he wanted to deliver ramen today. Dev nodded and then he went into the back room and copied the name off a board that listed the names of people who called in for ramen. He then looked at the addresses and ordered them by who was the closest and the he body flickered off to the first place. 15336 Moonlight Road. Dev noticed that the ramen shop lied on Moonlight Road. They are so lazy. They are down the street, about thirty second walk no doubt. Dev decided to walk slow just for this order and then he walked up to the house and knocked on the screen. Someone opened the door and then there was a very old man who seemed like he could barely walk and Dev gave him the noodles. That explains a lot. Dev then closed the door for the man and then walked off to the next place. He looked at the list and noticed that the next person was in his apartment that he lived in. He then disappeared and reappeared in front of his own apartment and then walked up to the door and knocked on it. He sat the ramen on the floor and disappeared. Last place. He then reappeared at the last place and knocked on the door and set the ramen down and left like last time. He went back to the ramen shop and got some money almost enough to get a pair of the brand new skates that he wanted. I have enough for regular skates, but I want some good ones. Dev then smirked as he had achieved some Ryo and he wanted some more.

:: Eluamous Nailo ::  Arriving at Hidden Leaf, the young Shinobi looked around somewhat cautiously. Having received a letter from Tin Shimizu, Bowman of the Chilling Wraith; a fellow member of his clan within Hidden Cloud. Though the details had not been specific; several tales of the man's power had spread back to the home village; and rumors spoke of his near conquering of the village known as Hidden Blood; Eluamous knew that it would be foolish to decline an invitation to meet Tin Shimizu. Eluamous's own weapon was the Spear; an unusual weapon for a Shinobi, but unique in the style of techniques he used; his special abilities revolving around traps and the setting thereof; his most popular being a poison-based trap of his own invention. Perhaps it was his abilities as a "trap master" that had caught Tin's attention? Whatever the reason, as the ship sailed into the harbor towards Hidden Leaf; Eluamous stood quietly looking towards the shore; making his way towards the ship's exit as the sailors began to tie the ship off to the dock with massive ropes. As the gangplank extended down to the dock; Eluamous looked out to the sea in the direction from where he'd come and nodded one more time, taking his first step off of the ship and onto solid ground. Needless to say, the time at sea had done a number on his legs; shaking for a moment to readjust out of his sea legs and into his land legs. Shaking it off, Eluamous made his way towards the gates of Hidden Leaf; deciding to wait on the outskirts of the village for Tin Shimizu to come.

Tin quickly got on the boat and was leaving for the village Hidden in Leaf. He knew that his decision was not one of THE most rationalized ones that he has had to make, but it was still better than nothing else he would have done in the past few years. Now that he thought about it, maybe it was not the best idea in the world to involve his home village of Hidden Cloud in the affairs of the village Hidden in Blood, but he knew that deep down his sense of justice, the small bit that he did have did not like the idea of any other country trying to take another country by force and knew that even though his own village had tried the same to the village Hidden in Leaf, he was still not all for it and was mainly against it. Had he not known it at the time, he probably would have continued the conquest of old, the thing he most despised, if he had stayed in the village Hidden in Blood. He subconsciously was not aware that he was close to the verge of trying to take out everyone in the vicinity of where he previously was and that meant that if he had done so in the village Hidden in Blood, then that meant that he would have been no better than the ones that had tried to take over the village Hidden in Leaf not so long ago and well the relations between the two villages are now where they are based on past actions and he knew that if he had continued in the village Hidden in Blood, then thing would have only repeated themselves.
He looked out at the sea as he watched the village Hidden in Blood slowly fade away, getting smaller and smaller as he contemplated what he would do next. He knew that at all costs he had to finish as much of his training as possible if he was to participate in the Jounin Exams. The last time that he had done so and participated in the event, he was always late to the next phase of the examination. He was even late for the registration and the man at the registers desk was not all too pleased when he glared at him for signing up only a few hours after the desk had closed for the day and that meant that they were no longer taking any applicants for the examination, but somehow by some miracle he had been allowed to take part in the exam even though he was late, but even then he was already at a disadvantage and was already behind everyone else too. He remembered that though he had had been early in entering the classroom, he was still not one of the first few to enter it and be able to scout it all out before the others came. He knew that if he wanted to pass this time around he would have to be on time so that he would not be disqualified from the examination like last time when he failed to take out any other ninja for their scroll. It reminded him of the Chuunin exams but the only big difference was that there were teams and everyone was out to help themselves as well as help their partners when there was a part of the examination that was a partner based phase, but the Jounin Exams were different. He knew from his father and mother and those that were already part of the higher elite ranks of Jounin, that the examination was based more on cunning knowledge than brute force and teamwork.
The sea was calming as he looked out and watched the seagulls fly by and the cawed out as they flew by. He wondered if he would be able to make it to the village Hidden in Leaf in one piece. He knew that once he got there, he would have to remember that his father had set up some connections for him and that would have to be enough to suffice him since he would be a foreign shinobi in a foreign village other than his home village. Plus to add onto more tension and worry, he was a shinobi of the village Hidden in Cloud that was going to enter the village Hidden in Leaf. If he was correct and that he had been keeping up with the news of old and new, then he would be in a hostile environment if he did not watch his back carefully. He saw the mist clear up as they slowly approached the village Hidden in Leaf. He knew that once he disembarked he would have to find his way to this informant that would lead him to his instructor that was also a friend of his father’s that knew the lay of the land as well as teach him some jutsu that would greatly aid him in his quest and life long mission to become an elite member of the honored ANBU corps. He began to think of the way he used to think of the ANBU when he was a younger kid and how he always saw them during events like the Chuunin Exam when they were open to participants of the general public. The fact that they wore a mask always intrigued him and his curiosity as to what magical powers were imbued to those that wore the honored mask of the ANBU corps, but now he knew. The mask symbolized that he was of the elite few that could join them and that that mask was his symbol and his identity in the ANBU corps. Without it, he was just a normal shinobi like anyone else. Well not completely normal, but just a shinobi regardless of rank and prestige. He knew that he was capable of achieving the rank of ANBU, but it was not for himself to decide if he was fit for the job or the responsibility of having the task of being an ANBU, but that of the head shinobi that was going to be put in charge of proctoring the Jounin Exams. If he passed, then that meant that he was all the more closer to his goal of achieving the ANBU status that he dreamt of for so long.
When the boat reached the docks of the village Hidden in Leaf, Tin thanked the ferryman and then was on his way for he did not want to linger around where others were to spot him in broad daylight. Since he was a shinobi of the village Hidden in Cloud he was probably going to expect many heads to turn and glare at him as he made his way through the streets of the village Hidden in Leaf. He found his way to what appeared to be a broken down ramen shop that was now smoldering in ashes and seemed to have been not too long ago, but there was no sign of anyone that had caused the incident to be around and then he noticed that there was another ramen shop set up nearby so he took a seat a the shop and then looked down at the table as he ordered his meal. The man asked him what he wanted and Tin looked up and told him to wait a few minutes and so the cook then turned to his waiter and told her to ask Tin in a few minutes when taking down his order. The chef looked wary at Tin before moving onto his next customer and then took his order down before heading back to the stove to prepare the order. Tin then looked back down at the tabletop and then felt someone sit down next to him and then looked up and saw that the man was smiling. Tin wondered what the man had to offer and why he was smiling, but the man quickly said, “You’re not from around here are you?”
To Tin that seemed logical and then he went along with the gag and said, “How would have you guessed that?” He knew that the man would probably instinctively point to his headband that signified him as belonging to that of the village Hidden in Cloud. It was not that hard to figure out and almost anyone could possibly identify which village he was from if they had lived long enough in the village Hidden in Leaf. It was almost a custom in any village to always tell and gossip among one another which nation was up to what and to always bring up the past. It seemed that it was something old women and parents did and often it reflected in the youth. For when the youth at a young age do not understand what it is that is going on and will involuntarily follow suit to what their adults in their world do and hate what they hate too. It was a bad habit of all humans that inhabited this world and one of the main flaws that started wars that seemed to have little or no meaning with often the staggering numbers in death only to attribute to victory and defeats. Tradition and customs, that’s what it all boiled down to in the end, when Tin thought about it deeply enough in the brief seconds between the man’s statement and that of his own reply.
The man simply chuckled and did as Tin expect him to do. He pointed to the headband and then what he said next surprised him. “You are a shinobi from the village Hidden in Cloud, but I know why you are really here.” The man then paused and then asked the waiter that was standing between the two of them behind the counter and asked for two orders or hot ramen with extra noodles. “Two orders of ramen with extra noodles please.” The waitress nodded and then quickly took down the order and rushed back to the chef to give the order for it seemed she was frightened of the talk that was going on between Tin and the man since she did not like where the conversation was going and the man knew that she was probably not the best person to have around when he was talking to her so he gave her an order to get her back to the kitchen. The man then said to Tin, “I know that you are really here to train for the upcoming Jounin Exams and that you are really Tin Shimizu of the Miyanari clan.” The man then waited for the information to be processed by Tin as he saw the shinobi’s emotionless stare.
Deep within the confines of Tin’s mind, he was thinking up of all sorts of possible scenarios and then realized that this must have been the man that his father had sent for him to learn from. The informant. Tin then spoke to the man after a few brief minutes of silence. “So you are the informant that my father spoke of?” Tin asked as he questioned the man and the man replied by nodding his head. The ramen came and then the waitress disappeared again as she did not want to stick around the two of them for long and would wait till after they had left to see if they had paid for their meals. The man thanked her on her way back to the kitchen, but she did not reply and then he said to Tin, “Well time to dig in and have some food. I will speak to you more of the training when the time is appropriate. I hear that this ramen shop makes a good bowl of ramen.” The man said as he then took a hold of a pair of wooden chopsticks and broke then apart before digging into his own bowl of ramen. The man dug into his bowl and quickly began to slurp up the ramen and chew his ramen.
Tin looked down at his own steaming hot bowl of ramen and then took up a pair of wooden chops sticks and carefully pulled them out of the paper wrapping that was encasing them before pulling the two sticks apart where they were connected at one end. Tin then mulled over what the man had said and then realized that his father new many people, but he himself did not know them by face or personally so it made things a lot more difficult when it came to situations like this when they were put into practicality. Had the man not been the one that his father had sent for him to learn from, and then surely the man would have easily dispatched him since he had lowered his guard down for a bit and that was a mistake that he rarely made. He had to remember to keep up his guard if he was in a foreign land such as this since the hostility between the village Hidden in Cloud and village Hidden in Leaf was still high as it ever was and him being a shinobi of the village Hidden in Cloud was not making the hostility any better, but probably made it ten times worse if anything should result from his being within the area and if anything did go wrong between the two nations then he would have to be a scapegoat and that was a situation that he did not want to be in. Tin then stopped thinking about the situation and began to eat the ramen from his bowl. The bow of ramen was delicious and filled full of goodness. As Tin ate his bowl of ramen he could not fully say what was on his mind but it was there nonetheless. The sensation of good food as he ate it kept him ravenous for more and that he had been hungry for a while now since he had been on a mission and then ran off to the village Hidden in Blood. He slurped up his food and was instantly full the minute he began to drink up the broth that was in the bowl which was salty and delicious. When he was finished he felt a little sleepy, but was now content and full with himself as was with the nameless man that had appeared to be his informant. Tin then looked down and then poked his stomach which was not bulging out a little bit and then patted it lightly as he then looked over to the man and the man said that it was about time they left. The man then took out his money purse and then left a few coins on the table top on top of a few dollars and then stood up form his seat and motioned for Tin to follow him.
They walked out of the ramen shop and thanked the waitress and asked to send their regards to the chef and were soon on their way. As Tin walked around town, he continued to get more stares from those around him and even some started to shun him by completely turning the other way when he passed by, but still others would just stare at him and gossip with the closest person to them and continued to stare at him. One of his encounters was not so successful and in the end he ended up with that person just flat out verbally abusing him and yelling at him to return to his home back in the village Hidden in Cloud. He would but he planned on being one of the greatest shinobi from his village’s well known clans and that meant that he had to be here to learn techniques. This was not a task that he wanted to do on a whim, this was a mission to him and he would complete it at all costs even if it meant killing himself over for it and well he was almost on that verge if the man continue to verbally harass him. Tin turned around and activated his Ryuugan eyes and instantly a few gasped as they began to shield the eyes of themselves and those of the children that were aimlessly running around and blissfully unaware of the chaos that was about to ensue. The man that had been verbally abusing Tin stopped dead in his tacks and then gazed upon the activated Ryuugan eyes and then said to Tin, “W-w-what d-d-do y-you pla-an on doing?” The man said as he staggered back and fell flat on his butt and then tried to get up, but merely tripped back down again and looked over his shoulder, trying to frantically figure out what it is that Tin was going to do to him. Tin merely looked down at the man and said to him, “If I had the choice to be here or not, I would not even hesitate to not be here. Thank yourself that I am here to train and not in an actual mission.” Tin then turned around and deactivated his Ryuugan eyes and walked back to the man that had made himself more or less his current guide through the village Hidden in Leaf.
When Tin had approached the man after the incident the man looked at Tin and chuckled a little bit before saying, “Quite the scene you made. You are one lucky man though. If it had been anything serious the ANBU corps would have already had you surrounded and detained and only fuel the hatred that is the ongoing hate between the village Hidden in Cloud and that of the village Hidden in Leaf.” The man then led Tin to a clearing outside of the village near a heavily wooded forest and then turned around and said to him, “This is where we will be training. Best place to learn is in the open far away from civilization so that you do not attract too much attention to yourself. That and there is much more solitude out here for mental exercise and serenity.” The man then unloaded the sack that he had been carrying with him when they had first met and it seemed to be filled with an assortment of various supplies and equipment. He then bend down and unloaded it all and then looked up at Tin from where he was and said to him, “Well then let us begin. My name is not of importance, but for now call me Sensei since I am going to be the one that is to be teaching you a few things about the jutsus here in the village Hidden in Leaf.” Tin quirked an eye as he looked at the man and then realized that he was not kidding and then nodded. He did not think that the man his father had mentioned was going to be an informant that he was supposed to meet up with would also end up being his instructor. The instructor then left Tin to his own devices after he had left him with a parchment that stated for him how to effectively use all the jutsus that he wanted to use.
Tin the heard some noises and then realized that he saw two other shinobi. Who were they and if they were not friendly he would have to prepare himself, but then realized that he saw that one of the shinobi had a headband that resembled that of the village Hidden in Cloud and instinctively put the parchment away in the folds of his Chuunin gear and then got up from the ground and walked over to Eluamous and then noticed that he was not approaching so he came to the shinobi and then waited in silence.

Nara Dev looked around and then he heard the bells of the ferry that had brung a new batch of people into Konoha. I might as well go. Nara Dev then yawned and then body flickered onto the top of the building to look at his surroundings and where he was. He saw the gates of Konoha where the ship had docked close to and then he body flickered off. He kept body flicking until he he was at the top of the gates. He looked around and hadn't seen anybody and then saw the man on the ground. He saw him and then looked at his headband and saw that he was a member of the Hidden Cloud. He looked at him even closer as he saw the man's spear. That's a little weird. What kind of shinobi is he? Dev then jumped off the gate as his jacket went in the air from the wind and then he landed on the ground as a bit of dust spoofed out but it wasn't much. Dev then stood there and was about five yards away from the man and then he said, "Hello shinobi, what brings you here in the Leaf? I understand that you are from the great Cloud village." Dev then put his hands in his pocket and was thinking about asking him for Ryo so he could get new skates to practice his new jutsu but that would be both dishonorable and disrespectful so he laid low with the begging.

:: Eluamous Nailo :: "You are Tin Shimizu..." Eluamous did not state it as a question; he recognized the bow slung across the man's back almost at once; the question was not needed, it was stated as a matter of fact. There was no need for ceremony or idle chatter; the letter had been simple and to the point; to be at Hidden Leaf and meet him there. Eluamous could thus assume that Tin was not one to waste time outside of what he intended to say; and Eluamous liked that. Another voice called, and Eluamous looked towards him; backing slightly so that both Tin and Dev were within his line of sight; "I am Eluamous Nailo, the Trap Master..." Aiming his gaze towards Tin as an answer to Dev's question, Eluamous finished: "and I am here because I was summoned by Tin. He gave no reason as to why; only to meet him here. He nearly conquered the village of Hidden Blood, so obviously to be called on such short notice was an honor indeed... I admit I wasnt too sure what I would encounter here..." Looking back towards Dev, Eluamous examined him for a moment and determined that he was not likely to attempt an attack; "And may I ask what your name is? What village do you hail from?" Eluamous was curious in his own way, any potential allies were valuable in unknown territory. Having not gone far past the borders of Hidden Cloud village; Eluamous was content in practicing his traps on his own; admittedly he had a fear of travel due to past trauma; an incident in which he'd not fully recovered from. Yet here he was, in Hidden Leaf and prepared to answer the summons of Tin Shimizu. Quote: Eluamous Nailo Before: 274 + This Post: 291 x People: 3 = +873 = New Total: 1,147

Nara Dev ignored Tin as he didn't feel like being associated with him as he looked to powerful. Most powerful people were only there to cause trouble and it really made them weak in the inside as they hunt on the weak like him. Dev looked at Eluamous Nailo and said, "I am Nara Dev of the Leaf." Nara Dev then heard about Tin being blood and he knew that he was right and the man was to powerful for him. He was going to have to keep a close watch on him so he backed up a little bit also as he didn't want to be in the line on attack. He then looked back at Nailo. "Am I interrupting your meeting? If I am..." Nara Dev's face turned serious and he said, "...to bad." He then smirked a little bit as he closed his eyes and chuckled. His hands were behind his head as he scratched his head at the same time. Dev then plopped down on the ground and looked down at the ground as his legs flat on the ground and he was leaning back so that his arms were holding him up and he wouldn't fall. He had already embarrassed himself enough by falling and it was embarrassing just randomly lying on the ground, but he was tired and he had a long day and a longer day ahead of him.

Tin's left quirked up at the mention of his name and then he nearly forgot that he did indeed send out a letter to Eluamous and had told him to meet him in the village Hidden in Leaf. "Well I had summoned you since I wanted to know what you thought about the current ideas that are going around about the warring nation of the village Hidden in Waterfall. I was just there not too long ago and well I pretty much had to make an escape since I did not want to be late to this meeting." Tin then paused and looked at Eluamous again when he had addressed himself and then began talking to another shinobi that was called Dev. At the mention of him almost conquering the village Hidden in Blood, caused him to wince a bit, but then he shook it off with a laugh. "I believe that you are misinformed my friend, for I did not make any intentions of trying to conquer the village Hidden in Blood, but only to quell the violence that was ensued when the village Hidden in Waterfall's Kage decided to make a move on their own with their military might to try and squash that of the village Hidden in Blood." Tin then turned to Dev Nara and introduced himself. "I am Tin Shimizu of the Miyanari clan from the village Hidden in Cloud. Also referred to as the Bowman of the Chilling Wraith." He realized that the bow on his back was probably his trademark, but then decided to let it dissipate as he let his concentration on holding the bow in place loosen. Even though it was minimal concentration, it was still something to keep in mind all of the time when it was passively active at times. Tin then spoke to Dev again, "No. You are not interrupting anything. I merely came here to the village Hidden in Leaf to speak with Eluamous for a bit and to see if he and anyone else would not mind a bit of a small spar."

Nara Dev looked at Tin and saw how he continued talking and for some reason he felt something that made him look up to Tin and made him want to be like him. Nara Dev looked at Tin again and his eyes opened a little bit in amazement. He then shook his head to get rid of his obvious gaze and then said, "Looks like there was a little conflict between Waterfall and Blood. It must be over though at since you picked a place like the Leaf village to come. There are way to many people in this village that come to this village when we haven't even hosted any exams in a while." Nara Dev himself has only noticed this at right now as he spoke as something had triggered his brain and made him think of that idea. "Hello Tin. Bowman, huh? I do not believe that weapons should be used as ninjas are tools and tools do not use tools..." There was a silent pause and the he smirked again and made the same face as he closed his eyes and scratched his head. "...but that is just my opinion." Nara Dev stopped smiling at the sound of the word, 'spar'. He had then thought about the many spars that had been reported and rumored throughout the Leaf village. This is just another spar. Another event. Another problem in the world... that I'm going to be in! "Are you sure that you want to have a spar right now?" Nara Dev had a shadow from the wall come behind Tin and then go around him so it didn't touch Tin but it was a complete circle around him. He made a small yawn and said, "I'm a pretty good fighter myself." He was hoping that Tin would not notice the shadow that was already around him.

:: Eluamous Nailo :: "I see, so it was an overdecorated rumor then; I am glad to hear that you are not truly out to conquer others. I admit I was in quite a bit of fear of meeting you due to the stories spread. So Hidden Waterfall is causing trouble then?" Eluamous could see why Tin would call for assistance from fellow members of Hidden Cloud; as lightning possessed an advantage over Water-based techniques. "Dev, you are not interrupting the meeting, at least I don't think so. And I would enjoy a sparring match, though I admit my own skills are somewhat less dramatic than yours I'm sure..." After all, Tin was ranked far above his own power and from what he'd heard the bowmaster was in line to test for the rank of Jounin. "I suppose your ranged attacks go against my own style though... perhaps I should spar Dev first, and than you can take on the winner! How about it Dev?" Eluamous knew that Tin's bow style was deadly at a range, and odds were could finish him off before he could get into close range for a heavy melee attack; plus sparring a member from a different village would be a much greater experience; as the members of Hidden Leaf used a completelly different style than his own! Something crossed his sightlines and the Trapmaster threw a Windmill towards the Shadow encircling Tin; the foldable shuriken whipping out into its full shape as it spun towards the Shadow so it could not initiate a sneak attack against Tin. Known as the "Trap Master", Eluamous could sight traps with relative ease, and sneak attacks were close enough to traps in their own sense; thus he has quickly picked up on the attack. The fact that he had positioned himself initially so that both Tin and Dev were in his sightlines had helped as well. Glaring towards Dev, Eluamous spoke in a harsh tone of voice, though he knew that Dev was likely the stronger between them; "You shouldnt try sneak attacks like that on someone before a battle starts... its dishonorable... C'mon now... lets have a fair spar, winner gets to spar the bow master?"Quote: Eluamous Nailo Before: 1,147 + This Post: 365 = New Total: 1,512

Nara Dev looked at him and smirked a little bit. "Yes. Tin is very powerful except I don't usually back down from fights." Nara Dev almost laughed extremely out loud when he was challenged, "As I said, I don't back down from a challenge." He then made a serious face when Eluamous commented on his way or sneaking. "You are not stronger than me. You have forgotten who you really are or you aren't what I think you are. You are a shinobi. A ninja. A shinobi's main attacks are sneak attacks and they should always be ready to take the advantage. It is not dishonorable, it is merely the fact that I am smarter than you. I am not known for full out battle, I am Nara Dev, the Strategist. My attacks are based on sneaking especially at since I am from the Nara clan." Nara Dev then made a shadow come from trees that were surrounding the village and were a about five yards away from his new opponent come to Eluamous. "I think you know that the Nara clan controls shadows. If I got a shadow connected to you, I can manipulate you in many ways that I want."
