The mist was thick and heavy, the land was wet, some times just damp, and wild. Never having been so annoyed and frustrated in his life Fuu found himself kicking clumps of mud and rocks about from time to time, he was lost and knew not where to go. Growling he'd eventually stop and drop to the ground, leaning his back against a tree as he bit his lip, drawing just a small bit of blood. "Man, fuck it, coming here to find the Hidden Mist Village was a stupid idea."

"Oh really?" Masumi said stepping from the concaves of the dense forest, this man had failed to notice her approach mostly do to his childish tantrum; however thats not what prodded around in the Nidaime Mizukage's head. It was what he said. Having come upon him by chance this must had been a fated meeting, cards dealt to them by the madam of fate. The mizukage hadn't had much time to herself, and so she had set out to get a breather from her cramped quarters, but not as the mizukage, but as the Hozuki named Masumi. Chestnut hair fluttered behind her, jutting out wildly along her backside. A bang formed over her forehead, hiding a aquamarine gem. Wearing her usual attire, she had except for her kage hat, she hadn't planed on coming across anyone, but as she looked at him she thought she could provide her with some much needed entertainment. Strangers tended to do such. Stepping closer she approached with caution, not wanting to spook or even hint at any suggestive actions that might had provoked him. "What makes you want to find Kirigakure so bad?" Masumi inquired, her silky voice rolling off her lips in an alluring, seductive tone, that could charm men of a weak constitution, a voice that bewitch one who wasn't on his toes; it was the sound of a siren. The sun had just came upon the horizon, shooting rays of amber dully onto the land due to clouds blocking its path. The mist that seemed to breath, clung to the ground, obscuring its contents and the footing of those who wishes to trek its lands. Stopping so that they were separating by a few feet she glanced over him with calculating eyes, the eyes of a shark. made by renni

Shooting up to his full height he kept his back to the tree as a means to at least cut off one possibly means of attack. But, then again a sufficient enough attack could pierce the tree, but if that were to happen he could just liquify. Eyes alert he'd raising a brow and attempt to locate where the voice had come from, or where it was possibly traveling to next. And then he'd hear it again, his head whipping about to stay alert he'd continue to stay on his toes. This mist really was troublesome, growling slightly he'd choose to speak. "Not that it's any of your business, but I have possible work there. I'm a Hunter-nin from the Hidden Grass Village...and you?"

[/color] He gave out a bit of information, but that was normal, Fuu gave away basic information without care as he feared little. Though he wasn't one to give out too much information at least pertaining to his personal abilities and such. Turning his focus back to the one who was speaking to him, Fuu would slowly drift away from the tree behind him.

The Mizukage watched the boy as he stayed alert, his attention at the ready; however the Nidaime had no intents on implicating violence. At least if his intentions were in fact gold. "I see." that's all Masumi said as she pondered upon what to divulge. What would be some minor information she could give to him that wouldn't give who she really was away. The fox grinned wide, devilish and cunning she in haled before exhaling the cooling air around her. "Lets just say I'm the kinda person you wanna tell more." Emphasizing on the last part of her reply as her point of interest stepped from behind his safeguard. Was she intimidating or was it simply veteran instincts that guided the grass ninja's actions? Masumi was pulled upon by unseen threads, ones that forced her hand. She wanted to know his true intents. Another pawn on her chess board was always welcomed if they were competent enough to get the job done. Could she dare to step closer? In this day an age, people were cautious, cause it was only that which yielded longevity-life. Whilst all this had happened the Mizukage had already inspected every element of the man before her. He looked somewhat strong, with an alright mind as she could tell so far, but only things would show. Could he in fact be worthy of helping Kirigakue, or was this all but a lie to in fact disrupt the villages nature and destroy. These thoughts wandered aimlessly without reprieve, but Masumi held her composure well. made by renni

"what ever do you mean girl? i am fuu hozuki, grass-shinobi and hunter-nin looking for work."

chakra reduction; i

Ultimate Hydration Technique [Suika no Jutsu]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: D-C: Low, B-A: Mid, S: High
Special: Initial liquefaction lasts a single turn by default, plus one more for each rank above 'D' obtained. All Hozuki are impervious to non-elemental physical strikes, but are susceptible to Raiton and Hyouton - lightning attacks place on them are raised by a single rank, and when struck by it, they are unable to liquefy properly, and finally, ice jutsu have twice the freezing capabilities when coming in contact with the Hozuki. Ranks 'D' and 'C' represent the ability to liquefy one and two limbs at a time respectively (be it arms or legs); 'B' rank represents torso; 'A' rank represents head liquidation; 'S' rank allows the user to liquefy all together any time they want. Finally, Hozuki are made of water, so they can use themselves as a base for all suiton based jutsu. Hydration rank also determines rank/level of suiton the Hozuki can birth from their body.
Description: The core technique behind the bloodlimit and the door to stronger, more powerful attacks, this jutsu allows the Hozuki to totally transform their body into a condensed state of water, so dense that the user can withstand even the roughest of physical attacks, yet so malleable that on a whim, they can also decompose into mere puddles. From a single hair to the skin and muscles, everything can be liquefied and solidified, be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack from a liquefied state Maintaining this form requires that the clan member keep themseves constantly hydrated, but in this form the can also draw upon and control nearby water by immersing and merging amongst the liquid. And best of all - by liquefying their whole body at will, it makes it impossible for the Hozuki to receive damage from physical attacks. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like, dormant state until consciousness is regained.
Domain: Hozuki.

Toro-Toro no Jutsu [Sticky Jelly Technique]
Rank: Dx7 [one used]
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Low
Special: Strength of absorbed attack depends on the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank. Up to one blow can be absorbed per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: As the Hozuki further their understanding of the control over their liquid essences, their skill in altering their density composition enhances. In this case, rather than simply breaking up into a puddle of water when being struck, the Hozuki learns to absorb the blow, increasing their water pressure so that the weapon or limb is stuck within. To the opponent, it'll feel as if they had buried their weapon/hand in sloppy mud. By reforming around the impact point, they are able to trick their opponent into coming in for an obvious attack. From this point, they can finish their opponent off, or capture them for later use.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘D’ ranked Hydration.



Gisan-Hisan [Acid War]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: D-C: Low per turn, B-A: Mid per turn, S: High per turn
Special: Degree and damage of poison acid depends on highest rank known. Corrosiveness depends on rank:


D ~ Skin
C ~ Earth & Elements
B ~ Wood
A ~ Rock
S ~ Steel


Description: Once the Hozuki begin to understand their blood and how to control it, they learn to combine their ninjutsu powers in order to give their 'jelly' special properties. In this case, the Hozuki's very essence transforms into an acidic poison, corrosive on contact and highly invasive upon sensing foreign bodies. The best part about it all is that the Hozuki's color does not change one bit, giving no indication that they are wielding cursed waters. When combined with other clan techniques, this essence alteration can be highly effective for combat.
Domain: Hozuki. Must know 'Hydration' for rank being learned.

Masumi's composure was as sturdy and reliant as her own village walls. She'd didn't budge nor flinch as the man abruptly engulfed the snake into his body, the technique he used however caused the Nidaime Mizukgae to look on with now widening keen eyes. Her lips twisted into a delighted smile as her mind finally registered who this man was. It had been a long time since she'd last seen a face her brain stored within the depths of her mind. It took his abilities and name to have those files opened and explored. "So it seems fate has brought you here Fuu." With more light shed on this situation she calculated her next response. "What type of work? Kirigakure isn't the type of place you go just for kicks." Masumi said, she had been somewhat impressed with his abilities in the second round, but was disappointed in his third round performance albeit he was up against the poison to their clansmen. It seemed he had not recognized her still and for a moment she wondered if she should return the exchange of her name as well. "Hozuki, Masumi its been a while." She'd say casually, though there was no true trust she assumed the obscure barricade that tainted the air with doubt had been dispersed and so she walked closer to him, with casual steps, her wold hair swaying at her back, and her gorgeous gems shimmering like a beacon within the veil of mist. She was interested in him, maybe even enough to listen to what he had to offer, but she'd play chicken for a tad bit longer. made by renni

"kukuku."

"i get plenty of kicks out of my work, and as a hunter-nin my work is hunting down and killing orrrr subduing missing-nin and the like. and i see it as better work if i work directly for a village rather than being an independent worker."[/color] shrugging his shoulders he kept his arms folded and sighed a bit. he needed to get to the village of the hidden mist, after all he had been country side for quite some time now. but, then his mind traveled to her last spoken words. they had met before?"we've met before?"[/color]

"I feel hurt." Masumi exclaimed, sticking lips out as she made a hurt face. It had truly been awhile since Masumi was last at the exams, he had only met her during their brief second round attempt at the Chuunin exams; however Masumi indulged in the thought of him finding out she had already passed the rank of Chuunin to become not a Jounin but instead the revered Mizukage of the Mist. It was a prestisgeous title that she held with confidence and a air of nobility. "To answer, yes. We met a few months ago at the Chuunin exams." That enough should had been enough to jog his memories of her that seemed to be locked away. He was talented last she remembered of seeing him in action his knowledge and control over their clans arts was unchallenged she thought, only rivaled by her own, but Masumi prided herself in her aptitude and skill over the art of suiton. That was where she truly shined. Awaiting his answer she'd think of the possibilities she could do with such a skilled warrior, if he was looking for work, maybe he could be taken under her wing. Calculating as always, her beating around the bush would end soon enough for she had come up with a solution that he'd surely like as well as herself; the only problem was would it be a good idea to bring him back. Trust was something shinobi seldomly used, but he'd have to have her with some form of insurance or else he could perhaps in the future become both a threat and eyesore to her village. It was a high stake gamble, was the Mizukage willing to bet? made by renni

"oh yeah. sorry bout that, lost my train of thought for a moment there."

[/color]

folding his arms he yawned a bit before continuing. "so do you know where the hidden mist village is or not?"[/color] he really didn't want to waste any more time talking our searching. unfolding his arms he let his hands drop to his sides as he glanced about. he was tired of the woods, or rather this bloody misty country side.

"Nooo..." Masumi replied sarcastically, of course it was common knowledge that she a Kirigakure shinobi knew where her home village was. Was he missing half a brain or just so eager? Flipping her hair over her right shoulder she shifted her weight to the opposite side, alleviating pressure from her numb side that tingled because it had fallen asleep. The Mizukage decided not to entertain the thought now. A cunning smile found itself upon her crooked lips as she spoke softly. "What do you have to offer to Kirigakure? Simply taking jobs isn't doing much for our village if your just getting paid. Tell me. How can you be of service?" She was quite interested in hearing his response, she wanted to probe more and more into his head, her dehydrated knowledge seeking thirst. Would he quench it? Masumi was an astute woman, she needed more than promises of completing work to divulge such information to a stranger. Times were hard and troublesome, lest she make them any more. Tapping her foot she awaited his reply, her time was gold, something he should be honored to have, but he lacked the knowledge that she was the Mizukage. She'd play simple village shinobi for a tad bit longer. made by renni

"i guess i could offer myself to the mizukage as some personal guard or something. after all i was looking to offer the hidden mist village my allegiance as a shinobi, thus joining it, anyways. then i'd be able to do missions and such that'd allow the village to gain some income as well."

[/color]

sighing a bit he couldn't help, but feel his frustration turn to a more saddened version of annoyance/frustration. folding his arms he thought about spitting at the ground, but remembered how thirsty he was and didn't wish to lose any moisture he had left. it was at this point that he also randomly began wondering what time of day it was. which was odd because the country side always seemed to hold about the same amount of light, at least so far, and he had been traveling for quite some time. sighing once more he awaited a response.

Masumi could tell his patience was wearing thin, maybe she had allowed her game to press on for a tad bit too long? Watching as he rolled his neck a small giggle would escape her lips, she finally decided what to with him. A gentle breeze passed them by as the Mizukage pondered upon what to say and how to deliver her words. "I may have use for you than after all." Her words had broken the facade of her obscure nature. From that alone he should had known he was talking to no ordinary shinobi. "Follow me." Thtas all she'd offer him as she'd turn her back to him confident he'd follow with haste. She may had made a bad choice, but if he proved a threat anbu would eliminate him without hesitation. made by renni
