Hageshii Hiru [Contract Topic]

These people around him were useless, they were barely capable of keeping their heads on their shoulders long enough to try and tell him how to do his job, and for that he was thankful. These peers of his, they were inferior beasts who were as capable of a tool as a simple twig, unable to find use in anything except being burned up for tinder. It was all that there was to the world it seemed, these unreliable, ignorant, things that occupied his species were an infuriation above any other to the young man. Yet his ability to escape this seemingly bound fate was minimal and so he took his leave frequently, visiting the lakes beyond the village gates to hear from beasts that served their purpose well. Fish swam, the insects skitted, the birds watched hungrily, and none of them stepped out of their place because they had no capacity, no desire to do so.

They were closer kin to him than anyone else and they held a deeper relevance and meaning to him. It was on such an occasional of self reflection that Hageshii had come to another lake, one he had never seen before and which seemed to be absent of excessive fish life. His pale flesh was exposed to the lazily drifting rays of a half-clouded sun, bare to the world but submerged in the most effective covering one could ask for. The water was cool and it cooled the blood-lusting heart beneath the breast that it enveloped within itself. So for this moment their was no worry, no fret, no thought beyond his current bodily state.

His mind melted into the water and in his enhanced bodily state, in which his thoughts were absent and his body was unrestricted from the usual task of functioning under such a laborious taskmaster as a shinobi, he noted the presence of something on his skin. He hadn't felt it approach nor had he noticed it until now, and he lifted his arm above the water, his pink locks swirling with his twisted head as he observed what had made its way to his animated corpse. The creature that had decided to grace him with its presence happened to be a leech, something he hadn't seen in this area for quite some time, though as he noticed it was an odd color for a natural leech.

Hageshii's hand came out to remove the creature, gently so to not harm himself and to not harm the creature, but at the movement of his other hand a voice emerged from the lake, something foreign that he was unfamiliar with. "Don't touch him."

[Hageshii]

The shinobi whipped around to the source of the noise, reaching to the shore since he was not far from it into his pockets to remove a handful of senbon at the same time, launching them into the water at the target he could not see. The sound of a successful strike was muffled but still detectable, like it had hit a smooth surface with a fatty substance, certainly not a human strike noise. This attack silence the voice momentarily but it was not soon afterwards that Hageshii felt a slimy tendril grasp at his leg, yanking him down into the water with more force than he imagined any natural creature could create.

The water blurred his vision, his breath drained from his lungs, and after this force he could only view a blurred black shape before he was treated to a similar force but in the opposite direction, thrusting him out of the water so that his back struck the soft earth near the lake. The sensation of falling was brief but the sensation of pain was moreso, and instinctively recovering after a brief grunt of pain the Genin's hands struggled to gather up chakra to treat this injury swiftly and efficiently before returning to the offensive.

The voice spoke again now, "Are you a medic boy?"
Hageshii responded, not bothering to bite back his present anger, "And what if I am?"
"Then you're a lucky boy for coming here."

The water lurched in a way that was preternatural, it was moving and rippling as if something far too large was within it. Hageshii had his foot in that water and could feel the bottom, no beast of the size the water predicted could be within it and yet as the blackness that had only recently attacked him rose, splitting the mud and the waves to reveal its hideous form, reality seemed to take a backseat to a new reality. The creature resembled a highly enlarged leech, its lined underbelly occupying the entire lake as it stood there coiled like a serpent, its multi-fanged circular mouth pointed at him. It had no eyes, but it seemed to see him none the less, swaying to the side as it spoke without a mouth, a horror of some sort.

It wasn't fear that overcame him, Hageshii did not fear, rather it was some sort of peculiar wave of chill that swept over him but failed to paralyze him as he rose to his feet, pointing additional senbon at the beast with a smile crossing his face. Warmth quickly resurged in his body with his increased confidence, so what if it was ugly, it was just as easy to slay and he'd feel less bad about it afterwards.

The creature seemed to find this humorous however and responded to the shinobi taking a battle-stance, "Boy, I'm not here for a battle, as you can tell I'm not your run of the mill creature and I have a specific purpose. How about we make a deal?"

Hageshii cocked a single eyebrow, "What kind of deal?"

"Have you heard of a contract boy?..."

[Hageshii]

After this initial dispute and confrontation the beast lowered itself and explained the gists of its presence and purpose, that same disturbing voice rising out of seemingly nowhere since it mouth did not move while it spoke. Hageshii listened patiently before interjecting with a few questions he held about the subject.

"So let me get this straight, you're an extra-dimensional leech?"
"Yes."
"And you want me to sign a scroll in my blood so that I can bring you to this dimension?"
"Mhm."
"All via a convenient jutsu?"
"Thats the gist of it boy."
"That makes no sense."
"Oh yes it does, you're not the first one to sign a contract, other people sign them too."
"And summon leeches?"
"No, they summon other animals like dogs and toads, we're fairly new to the game and you're one of our first. Thats why I said today was your lucky day."
"What does being a medic have to do with it?"
"Well you see, our species is very medically inclined, we feast and live on blood so we seek out people who can provide it and I've been aware of your bloodlust for some time now. I can smell it on you, but I didn't know whether you'd be useful, now I do. You're talking calmly to a giant leech after-all, that takes guts."
"I guess it does doesn't it."
"And you attacked me first, thats the kind of instinct I like, someone who strikes first and asks questions later."
"And yet you seem so desperate, why not just eat me? Why offer this chance to me?"
"Well theres no point in lying, we're a desperate species, we need blood and we need shinobi who can bring it to us. Thats why we chose you, you have that capacity and I feel that you would agree to this if it weren't so sudden but theres little I can do about that now."
"So how does this work?"
"You prick your finger and sign, then you can summon members of our species based on the amount of chakra you can exert to do so. You won't be able to summon me soon, your chakra is to little now, you'll start with unintelligent throw-aways and work your way up. The creatures you summon are at your disposal, effective servants until you get to sentient beasts like myself who are more allies than slaves."
"Is that all?"
"Well we naturally need blood so you have to summon us by drawing your blood or providing us with a source of it, otherwise you'll be the meal."
"I see, a double-edge sword."
"Exactly."

Hageshii pondered the thought for a moment and considered what exactly was being pitched to him, whether it had a use to him, what good it would do him and what were the potential drawbacks, but coming upon nothing exceptionally disagreeable about the prospect he returned to the conversation. "I'll sign on one condition."

The leech tilted its massive head, its body lurching a bit and its mucus lining draining a bit as it moved to drip to the ground below, it truly was a repulsive creature this large but he supposed beauty was in the eye of the beholder and he could get used to it. "What is that?"

The Kiri Genin brought a finger to his glasses, bringing them down to get a good look at the beast before he responded. "My name is Tsume, Hageshii and you'll have to stop calling me boy."

The leeches tone changed at this comment and though it didn't form a smile, he didn't think a leech could, he imagined that it would've since its tone implied that it found the comment amusing. "Clever one aren't we Hageshii?"

The sound of moving water could be percieved as the beast's tail moved, its bodily segments shifting as a large red scroll, caked in what smelled like and appeared to be swamp water and rusted blood, was produced held by its tail which was firmly wrapped around it. The leech dropped the scroll in front of the shinobi, the paper unfolding to reveal a few other signature whose names Hageshii did not recognize and a blank spot where the leech's tail tapped. "Sign here."

The boy smiled as he brought the senbon he held to his lip, cutting it and placing his finger to the blood and bringing it to the scroll to sign his name. "My pleasure."

Hageshii’s name glow in red and green lights stammering and shifting in array as he signs the contract. A steam protrudes from the paper as the blood forms into an infinite binding ink right beside the others who had sold their souls to the leech. A slurping sound bellowed from within the water… almost as if the slug looking thing were sucking amongst the water he swam in. Yuck.

Hiro would find himself bound within a never-ending contract that would push him to always.. win… but the thing was… would he? A god-forsaken laugh would bubble from beneath the dark and cold lake. Those bubbles would begin to boil within a circle… creating a giant red dot within the center of the lake. A hole to hell it seemed… it would take a madman to truly jump in with having no regrets… and maybe hiro was just the man for the job.

The image of the leech soon began to become read and steam away with the water in the lake… now becoming a vortex consumed by the hole within it. The shinobi would have no control…drifting into the hole with no knowledge of where he were going. It would only take but a few seconds for the shinobi to get pushed through the hole and into a cavern with a giant lake below. He would sure enough hit the water…or maybe his chakra would allow him stance along the futile waves.

Upon arrival of the water… there would be two dark holes… evidently carved out by a slug-like creature. Left and right were the only option.. should he choose to go.

Yeah I figured I did something wrong, guide isn't exactly detailed about that part though but I'll try and handle it more appropriately in the future. I edited the topic conclusion out of the first post as well, didn't make sense.

That was what was stated, that the only thing required of him was something as simple as a signature in his blood, but things seemed to twist and pervert from this at the present time. With the signature scrawled down, its supernatural nature unveiled and with a distortion of his perception that exceeded normal limits, he found himself hurtling through nothingness in a spiral of movement. The only thing that mattered now was his landing, as he was suspended in the air but only because his destination had not yet been reached, and from this height, even the water that threatened to strike him was dangerous.

Around him his eyes could catch the sides of a cavern and with momentary thought, deciding upon the best solution to his situation fairly rapidly, he wove a wire through a series of senbon. With a flick of his wrist the senbon moved fluidly to the bunched end where a knot had been hastily place, making a cluster of metal that Hageshii threw upwards to snare onto an eruption in the rock-face. Rocks in caverns like these were well aged and sturdy, sufficient to hold a human beings weight in most cases, and as the wire wrapped around the tug that jarred his body informed him that it was a correct assumption to think so.Still, the jarring took his breath for a moment and he groaned at the shock of pain before swinging himself to the nearest side, not but a few dozen feet or so from the ground. High but not too high.

"Somebody failed to inform me about this part..." Hageshii noted, rappelling his way down before jerking up on the wire, knocking the senbon loss so that the whole contraption fell down to the water with a splash. The Genin's hand pierced the water's surface quickly to retrieve it and his eyes scanned the area, setting two holes in front of him that would seemingly lead him elsewhere. There was no other direction for him to move and so he was left with only these two options, he lacked the fire-power to simply blow a hole out of here and he lacked the jutsu to climb back up.

Two paths. He could create a clone but he would have no way of retrieving any information it obtained without having it come back to him and since he didn't know how dangerous the situation was, he would be at a disadvantage and just be wasting chakra. However, he could employ a clone to help him guard himself, and so with a few brief seals and his weapons were put back in their proper place the water around him rose up. The liquid swirled together and formed a humanoid shape which quickly filled itself in with details that created an exact replication of himself. Hageshii directed the clone forwards down the left path with a gesture, "You walk first and I'll follow behind, much safer."

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Techqniue)

[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Explosion range covers 5 meters. For every 4 clones simultaneously detonated over an opponent, the effects of 'Water Prison' can be achieved without needing physical contact. Same 'Prison' effects apply.
Description: With this technique, the Suiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of water, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, physical strikes fixed on a point within their body will force it to break up into a puddle and join the mass below, able to avoid danger and regenerate anywhere the water exists. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a blob of water that aims to take over the nearest opponent available. If found, the water envelops the victim whole, drowning them in the user's cursed water and setting up more attacks of the same nature.
Domain: Suiton.
