The first, though anxious, proved unworthy. He was frail, he was afraid; he was, simply put, unable. Yet he was still me…as much me as the rest of them, the children of this chaotic world, those adopted under the Uchiha wing. Being a shepherd was not an easy profession, especially when the herd was deaf and blind even to one’s own guidance; yet this is where I rose above others, others whose faltering will would simply not allow them the honor of the title – “King”.

“King…”

It rolled off the tongue well, yes, but there was something I was still missing; a King needed a court, yes? And while I, a harbinger of loneliness and nothingness, delved in all that which involved walking that cold, dark path, I would need small flames to illuminate my next step. Ascension it would be, but in order to rise, I would need the hands of others to help me; at this point I knew. I knew I’d need more. It was time to find more souls.

But when do I stop…?

Never? Aye. Which is why I stood here, nonchalant, walking Hi no Kuni’s bare country side, dirt strewn everywhere my sandaled feet came across. I was alone, the day ample with the sun high. The wind? Nonexistent. The forests? Left behind. Still I was, the sight of a single grand fixture within my eye some miles away – Konohagakure. It was here that I would find my ‘Second’; I was sure of it!

Sadness ~ I could feel the village's pain. The cries, screams, muffled out by hatred. The hokage, he did nothing to help stifle the darkness, he just seemed to welcome it. Konohagakure - my heart and soul rested inside of the very hidden village. Being filled with pain and anguish, yet placing a smile on my face all the time was hard. I hated feeling like a fool, being used by the hokage as a harsh weapon of war, striking down all who gets in the way. I wasn't a murder and I never will be, I will protect all of those within my reach for I am the leafs shield.

"Am I meant to be a sacrifice. . ."

[/right]

My heart, had become filled with dread and darkness, wishing only to be comforted by power. I was weak, way too weak to ever become strong enough with help those in need. I kicked the gate's as hard as I could, my leg felt a tinge of pain. The pain came in small shock waves up my toes and through the rest of my leg. I didn't both caring for the tiny pain I had caused myself, I should have been killed.

The innocent life that was taken because of my stupidity weighed heavily upon my heart. I shook my head violently, I couldn't have these thoughts while I was standing next to the leaf gates. The guards would think I was some crazy ninja, further enforcing some suspicions had by the people. I needed more power to redeem myself but who would give it to me?
[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[☆ F ☆]

I saw…something. A figure? Yes. Supernatural? Maybe. A beast? Most likely not; and even if it was, it’d be it that’d have to fear ME. I growled in a barely audible fashion, a mixture of predatorial instinct and excitement coming together to form my newfound mood. Alone I was once, brooding over my future and that of my children, but now…now I had someone. Someone to remind. Someone to rescind. Someone to re…you get my point.

“…”

[/right]
Still and erect, my cloaked figure would find no offense in the presence of the sudden strange some distance away, but I would nonetheless find a way to arrive at a conclusion. For I was one never to get out of anyone’s way. The true question then lie with an answer only this newcomer could give – would, then, the stranger move? I wondered. And the more I did, the more curious I got. Though our grand distance, over thirty meters away from each other, would prevent this newcomer from discerning my pseudo psychotic glee, my joker’s smile never truly faded.

Raiton…?

…or Doton?

Hm…only time would tell.

I found my hands placed in my pockets as I strolled with my head slightly tilted, my eyes were locked on the clouds up in the sky it was magnificent the clouds had all types of shapes. I even seen a horses face up there it was amazing, it wasn't like this back home the clouds always looked clouds it kind of sucked. But I would quickly lose that thought as my head tilted back down to spot a man off in the distance walking, he wore bright red armor it was almost as if his face was familiar to me but I was sure I didn't know this man. I would slow my walk as I approached the man lifting up my mask so the man would be able to see my face clearly. "What's Up?" I would say as I raised my hand up waving to the man, I would say this in a kind relaxed way towards the man. My hand would drop back to my side after I finished my short wave, it was nothing to me introducing my self to people I didn't know it was the best way to meet new people.

Gazing towards the ground was all I could muster, and even when I did look up occasionally I would see nothing within the horizon. However that is only what I truly wish, what I really saw was a shadow within the distance. My eyes were like that of hawks, and the fact I was always healthy had played a big part in my incredible sight. It was hardly visible from this distance but it seems like someone was walking towards the gates.

immediately I rose from my leaning position, and stupidly instead of informing the guards I began to walk forward beyond the gates."I guess they won't care for this at all. . . great."

After looking backward at the other guards I could see they couldn't give two shits of what I was to do. "Yeah,Yeah fuck you guys as well." These words arose into my thoughts, and where all i thought sometimes around the ungrateful bastards in leaf who had positions of power and wasted there responsibilities. I knew I was too far to be heard but I still needed to say something after I had walked about five meters out from the gates. I yelled into the direction from which the shadow had formed and began to come into a cleaner view.

"Identify yourself!!"

OOC: Posting order? Myself, Naota, Bit. Newcomers join the end of the line...

I could feel their life essence existing below their very feet, as each step they took would add a page in the ongoing novel revolving around their life's struggle; now, as the next step came, would their role in this tale abruptly end, or would their characters be taken to new heights? It was too early to tell, but as the author to this bloody tale, I knew only I could write the final act. My pen's stroke, the ultimate stroke, would forsake their end within my ink. The clan's ink.

Another...?

Fantastic.

He came to from my west, at least twenty meters away, simultaneous to my attention at my north; the one at the gate. He abandoned the care of several bodies around in order to approach, though his distance remained as moments ago; his tone, unlike the newcomer, was a bit more stern. As an invader across all lands, I never expect mercy. However, this was a peculiar situation; it was then that I realized what I must do.

"..."

[/right]
Use one against the other. Remaining still midst my cloaked form, all I had to do was bide my time.
[/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[Onigami Brothers]

"The dumbass, great now I gotta give him a warning. My exact thoughts as I continued further into the hazy distance between me and the intruder. Whoever it was must have had a death wish upon there mind. I will under no circumstances give in to the request of and idiot. The distance between me and the shadow was now fifteen meters, I could make out more of the persons frame to the point I realized this must be a male or and ugly woman. I mean she could be pretty in that tomboyish way but then again from what I could see this one couldn't pull it off.

"Identify yourself. . . If not I'll attack within 1 minute."

[/right]
My call this time was just a courtesy, yet I began to seal, I would strike the visitor down and I just wanted to be ready for when that time came. These were the leaf borders and if everything wasn't exaggerated then I would never become one of the konohagakure military police officers. I remembered the motto shoot the ones who look different before the ones who don't, I mentally chuckled at the retardation within that rule. If that was right I could have to kill the military police captain because he wasn't and uchiha and therefore was different then me. I continued to seal finishing holding the last tiger seal gathering the chakra already molded inside.

Ahhhhh

My walk was slow and steady as I continued to walk the path slowly approaching the man that wore the firey armor. 'I wonder if this mans a Samurai, those are the ones who wear heavy armor on most occasions.' I thought to my self as my walk remained slow, my left hand would make it's way towards the back of my head as I continued down the path. My right hand would sway freely with the slight breeze that I could feel inside of my eye's socket, it was a plasent feeling even though it was a feeling of emptiness as well. 'I wonder where my eye is at.' I thought for a brief second before I heard a loud voice off in the distance.

"Identify my self?"

I would say as I slowed and looked towards the gates of Konoha, it had seemed it was someone guarding the gates it made sense but what didn't make sense was it had seemed to be a kid of equal age as him. 'Now I know, that isn't.' I would say as I slowed my walk slightly I would focus in on the boy with my one good eye attempting to get a good look at him. But that was pretty hard to do as well, consider the fact that the person was well over 40 meters away from him. I would turn to look to the man in the fiery armor once more, he hadn't really made in drastic moves he kind of just stood there as if he was waiting on something.

"What's that you say? Identify my self? He must not be talking to me"

I would shout at the top of my lungs as the boy continued to approach, shortly after I would shrug my shoulders turning back to the man in the fiery armor, I would stop with about 15 meters of space left between us. The voice would chime once again, it had seemed the boy had other ideas he viewed as enemy’s which made no sense at all ‘Kids these days.’ I thought to my self even though I wasn’t the oldest ninja from my village, I had a fairly mature outlook on life because of things I’ve witnessed.

"Yo?"

I would say it with a Bit of curiosity behind my words, I was curious to who this man was it wasn't everyday that you seen someone sporting the color red so proudly. It reminded him of his headband that he had tied to his left arm, it glowed a bright red symbolizing the proud Uchiha clan heritage that the boy had. It was the least his mother could do, outside of the chain she gave him for his 12 birthday that was located around his neck it was dead give away of his heritage.

OOC: Bit, your distances are off. You should be roughly the same distance away from Naota as I, since I placed you directly to my west (left) while I faced North, which was referenced as Naota and the gates @ 30 meters before he advanced to 15m away.

---

Things were improving at exponential rates, and while I was pleased with the possibility, I excelled at not letting this show. Rather, I would do well to keep up with the role I had always assumed when traveling across countries, that of the simple, weary traveler. I wore robes that did well to cover my crimson armor and weapons, and had no indication of any extra equipment nor accessory that tied my allegiance to any one organization or place; not even my headband.

Kumogakure...

...it's been too long, hasn't it?

As such, I had nothing to worry about. I let Gaia spill its secrets as both strangers trampled her essence, and while my figure was still and erect, my head would jerk quickly, a nod aimed at the one to my left (Bit) in a way that mocked the one carrying such heavy threats (Naota). Let us see how this carried out then; I hummed my curiosity, though did well to continue my stoic streak. And of course, midst all, my hands had already flung through my desired handseals.

Do you miss me...?

'Cause I miss you...hah.

Now, let's see whose trigger finger was the itchiest.

[/font]

[Onigami Brothers]

I realized the image before me wouldn't bulge, I flinched a bit because I didn't know. This could be another innocent person who could be killed because of my overzealous nature. I couldn't help myself, I fired the blast of katon chakra until it created a giant fireball. the ball of flames wasn't extremely fast but broke the distance between it and the shadowy stranger fast. I felt a tingle of regret after firing that org of pure destruction his or her way. Only time would tell if I was right about the intruder being another ninja. That was the whole base of my actions pure and stupid ~ Suspicion.

I looked wondering what my attemped attack would mean for me when I realized there was a second voice. Was there someone else within the immediate vicinity that meant no harm, or was he just stupid enough to give away his position. "What have I gotten myself into now. . ." My inner voice as melancholy as the rest of myself, no one deserved to die unless they were truly evil. But then again who are the deciders of right and wrong? And why aren't they as fallible as everyone else in the world?

Ahhhhh

'A head nod, that all I get.' I thought for a brief second as I stood there with about 15 meters separating me from the man in the robes, he seemed like a strange man not one of normal standards I couldn't really put my finger on it but I could surely tell that he wasn't normal. I would shrug my shoulders slightly as I turned back to the man that was making the loud threats, they always said those who talk the loudest are the weakest out of the bunch. 'He can't be serious can he.' I thought to my self as the boy finished his set of hand seals as the man in the armor quickly breezed through a set of hand seals him self.

"Fire, that's cool."

I would say to my self as I watched the orb of fire float towards the robed mans position, it had seemed as if the man was encouraging this boy to attack him. 'What could his plans be?' I thought to my self as I carefully watched over the mans figure, I couldn't be to sure of my own safety seeing as I just spotted theses two only moments ago and people are already dishing out fireballs. 'It's a shame, people are so scared for their life they're attacking on site of someone they don't know.' I thought to my self as my hand reached for the back of my head slowly, I was out of the action of this battle it was my turn to watch for now.

"Let's see what they got?"

I would mutter to my self as I placed my left hand on the bottom of my swords hilt, while my left hand continued to push around the hair on the back of my head. Now my eye was locked in, 'I wonder how long that kid will last?' I would think to my self, it wasn't always the smartest thing to attack someone you don't know. Because it could surely bye you a ticket straight to the grave if you aren't careful.

Sideline view.

[Raglao]

With about 5 meters of lateral space dividing young Ro from the man cloaked in crimson, iron clad armour, he approached from behind with rapid-fire footfalls. Zooming across the bare loam of Hi no kuni, 10 meters from Faust's immediate rear, a black, hooded figure bolted forward with magnificent speeds^(Shunshin). A spiraling upturn of dust was left as a testament to his presence as he appeared shoulder to shoulder from Faust's righter most flank, a marked kunai in hand. With a quick, medial flick of his arm, the kunai transcended across the land as a silver blur and headed straight for the remarkably slow fireball. The kunai intercepted the fireball during its straightforward path, meeting it just 10 meters ahead of Ro and Faust. A quick-second, zodiac hand-seal^{(.50 sec)}, heralded the coming of academy level ninjutsu - Kai.

The tag immediately exploded which triggered a chain reaction and inevitably caused the Endan to prematurely detonate. The explosion ranged up to at least five meters in diameter, however, thanks to skillful positioning, the only thing that managed to reach Ro were the concussive licks of wind that caressed his face. In the swiftest of moments he removed the black hood from his head to reveal his pumpkin coloured hair, a tell-tale sign of his Kekkai heritage; a clan Faust was all too familiar with via Masuyo Kekkai. Ro cut a quick sidewards glance to briefly examine Faust's posture before he returned his gaze back upon the boy to the far North.

"Hey! the hell is yer problem randomly attacking people like that?!"

[☆ F ☆]

OOC: FYI, since my intro post, I've been wearing a cloak over my gear, so I just look like a po' old traveler =P

---

As expected, youth in its most obvious form initiated the premature engagement, using his accumulated essence in order to displace his twisted version of justice. And while I was indeed on the path of this 'fatal' attack, I was also true I was in no true nature. Though the chakra within me allowed for the discerning of the souls that chosed to reside within this newly transformed battlefield, I was ever so careful not to show it.

Their voices...

...are they all...children!?

[/right]
Moving away from the Katon inspired strike was easy, a few sandaled feet and a bust of chakra making my essence disappear for a moment before choosing to relocate ten meters northeast. If all was well, not only would the fire - whose existence blocked its owner's sight of me temporarily, serving as the perfect distraction for my Shunshin [1/30] - be left long behind, but I would find myself roughly eleven meters directly left of the fire spewing child, while he was still in the last of his breath.

Even that cool newguy...

[/right]
Throughout all this, I did well to keep myself civil, my robes fluttering barely as I moved about. High-Speed movement was something anyone was capable, not just shinobi, and while the methods of executing them differed, the bottom line was that they all looked the same. My hood bounced slightly, but once I reached my destination, I resumed stillness once more. In a moment or so I'd initiate a speech of my own, my voice thundering yet neutral, all while letting the handle of the katana strapped to my back peep out from underneath the folds of my robes. Ebony clad hands stroked the handle for added effect.

"Listen kid...I sell panties and I sell bras. I go door to door, town to town, and pretend to know anything and everything about the female figure."

"Sometimes, I might even meet some poor woman so lonely I'll even get laid! ME!!! But that's the extent of my day, my week, and my month. All I do is sell, drink, and copulate. It's what I look forward to. It's the only thing I look forward to."

[/right]
I was well aware of them all. The second newcomer remained, now twenty five meters away, while an even newer addition, which had once come from behind making grand entrance, now remained some fifteen meters away, to my left. I remained facing the one which began the conflict - your turn...

"I've had to learn to use this because of shits like you. And no, I don't have kids, I'm not married, so I won't be afraid to castrate you."

"Now gimme all your shit and MOVE."

Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Establishes the area of earth a user can control for their earthen techniques, including the ability to sense what comes in contact with it. Because Doton is a solid essence with physical mass, its creations deal more with strength and endurance of the earth; as such, each earthen creation from the user will have have a natural, built-in defense against any attacks equally ranked or lower. Highest rank known also establishes the size of Doton creations they can produce, as well as the amount of time it takes for the user to detect any form of contact with their Doton creations, as well as natural earth. Keep in mind detection occurs only when foreign contact occurs WHILE the user is also in direction contact with the earth, natural or self-made.
D: 10 meter range / Full Turn detection delay
C: 20 meters / 3/4 th's of a turn
B: 30 ms / Half of a turn
A: 40 ms / 1/4 th's of a turn
S: 50 ms / Near-Instant!

Description: The basis behind the majority of Doton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very earth around them. 'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Doton.

[Onigami Brothers]

This wasn't the ideal day to get into a fight over anything at all. Pain and suffering was all i got to see day in and day out from my people. I didn't want to attack the stranger but they didn't identify themselves. If only they would just follow the rules this would be a nice time to forget about the fighting and get the documents they required to come towards the gates. Yet they didn't wanna play at all, which once again annoyed me to no end. Rule breakers ~ the darkness scum within all of the lands.

"is this the one from before? No, his voice is different this could only mean there are at most three separate entities."

[/i] Again my inner thoughts displayed my situation going from calm into a tiny little bit of panic. I removed my Uchiwa Fan expecting a battle to happen, my customizations to the war fan were noticeable. The Uchiha Symbol showed prominently on the fan's upper half. It would seem either my worst fears were confirmed and I attacked a family of frightened people. Yet that thought quickly was deleted when I saw how easily this guy took out my fire ball.

The explosion that he created was quickly and forcibly pushed from myself, I pulled both of my arms back with the fan then whipped it as if it was a bat. Even though I thought there was no immediate danger,the leaf could be under attack and I needed to do what was right. A hint of nervousness was hidden behind my stern demeanor. I didn't want to sound tough or anything, however how would I be taken seriously by whoever if I didn't show force. My hand slammed the hilt of the fan into the ground a signal of my readiness to battle.

"You should have Identified yourself!!!!"

[/right]

The gentleman within the cloak seemed to plead his case. I let go of not even and inch of my ground. It was the pride which swelled within my eyes which told me this situation was wrong. I felt bad for attacking him but more so of and unknown feeling then grief or pain. It was like the feeling I got around Bit-kun when we met for the first time.

The feeling of knowing something hidden before the eyes of others. I could feel that surge again like the sharingan was trying to forcibly push itself onto me. I didn't have the power to control it and if it where to ever release I would lose myself forever in the pride of it's power. I grew a bit timid because of how I felt weak before, it was like I could see bit - kun staring right at me. I looked towards the cloaked figure and felt the need to apologize for a strange reason.

"I'm s-sorry, yet you have given me little to no choice in the matter. If you had only identified yourself then all would be well. Yet seeing as there are three of you out there I still will not move from my position. And any act to advance without the proper forms will cause me to strike again this time without holding back. "

Ahhhhh

"Woah!" I would say as I watched the man work, it was just as I thought he was a man that could handle his own. From the looks of things shit was about to get real right here, at high speeds the man would curve around the fireball with great ease. 'That was cool, but pretty easy.' I would think to my self as I continued to watch, things just kept getting better as another joined the action though his entrance was pretty fancy, It wasn’t necessary at all. Sporting that orange hair, the boy would fire a Kunai directly at the fireball that was fired at the clocked man. It would of course meet this fireball before it could even travel the total distance, the Kunai would explode causing a small explosion between the two forces.

"Well if this isn't action then I don't know what is, Maybe I should get a bit closer."

I thought to my self as I continued my walk towards the clocked figures last known position, my eye would adjust for a second I recognized the boy with the orange hair. 'I think, I think, I met him before.' I thought to my self as my hand floated to the back of my head as usual, I would turn away from the boy for a second looking back in the direction of Konoha's gates to see what was going on, it had seemed as if the clocked man was talking to the other boy, actually kind of giving him a long ass speech, my eye would focus in on the boy that he was talking to.

"Wait, isn't that, I know that can't be, I thought he was sick?"

I would say to my self as I examined the boy with the black hair from a distance, he looked even more familiar than the man in the travelers. Though it was annoying I would focus in with my one good eye for a second, as the man spoke I would just stare at the boy that pulled a fan from his back as if he was going to do something with it. ‘That’s the Uchiha Crust!’ I thought to my self as the boy and the man went back and fourth, ‘That is fucking Noata!’ My eye lids would widen as I noticed who this fearless boy was, it was no one other than my cousin I hadn’t seen for ages.

“NOATA! WHAT THE HECK MAN! WHAT’S ALL THIS SHIT ABOUT?”

I would say it in what seemed like a condescending tone, I looked at Noata as a little brother and what he was doing wasn’t something that I would teach him to do so of course I had a small problem with it. Quickly changing direction, despite the clocked man obliviously attempting to rob Noata. I would turn a blind eye to the man for a second, because my focus was completely on Noata now he was acting way out of his character for some reason and I didn’t understand it.

“Woah dere mister bra man, Noata, it’s me Bit I know you know who I am.”

I would say as I folded my arms while I held a stern look on my face, I was about 9 meters away from Noata, while I was about 20 meters away from the bra man. ‘Let’s hope this doesn’t get messy.’
