New Dirt Roads

[Katsuo]

This trek was a killer. He was so tired, he could just lay on the ground and sleep. And he would have done so too if he knew exactly where he was. That and the fact that these trails seemed to be not one of the tourist spots, thus there was no safety assured. So instead he kept walking, following the path he discovered. He had no real intention on finding this land's hidden village. He had no desire to do so. Nobody could teach him anything here.

'Such a shame I don't possess a lightning affinity. That would be really cool Man, the things I could do with lightning, sand, wind and earth.'

He sighed at the hopeless though. He doubt people could be that blessed. Even if he could, he knew he needed more training on what he already knew. Walking upon a tavern, he quickly entered it, his hopes for at least a glass of water sparked. The sky sparked with electricity but he paid no heed to it, nor those he passed as he traveled through the tavern.

'Hey, be useful and get me a glass of water."

( Enter Atlas; Kage Bunshin )

Bounty hunting. What a pain. Days spent in the wilderness of Kaminari no Kuni, chasing after a target I was beginning to believe was invisible, had me slightly ungroomed and tarnished. Needless to say, I was quite relieved to discover the presence of a lonely tavern on a desolate dirt road. Maybe there I could make use of a restroom, and perhaps freshen up a bit before heading off to my typical hiking venture. Pushing open the old bat wing doors as I entered, a cheerful smile spread across my dirty face. Looked like a nice establishment, organized and stocked. I had, of course, been expecting something worse. A hive of villainy, perhaps. I would wait for Bit Kuroso here, the Chuunin Uchiha, should he ever arrive, and down a cold beverage in the meantime.

Striding through the establishment, maneuvering around chairs and wooden tables, I finally managed to make it to the bar. I leaned over the counter when I reached it, still standing, tapping the surface with a single finger in an effort to catch the bar keep's attention. "Lemonade, please. Ice cold." While the bartender went off to complete my request, I wondered whether the kiddo would be here soon. I did, after all, promise him that I'd wait here for a while just to give him a chance at chasing a bounty with me. But he had to keep the fact that I was the Nidaime Raikage on the down low. It could very well bring a lot of unwanted attention out here, and I wouldn't have any of that crap.

I looked about. A couple of shady characters, yes, but nothing truly extraordinary or threatening. To my left, several stools down the counter, was a young man. Sharp black hair, a blue scarf, and a rather doggedly look about him. I wondered, What's his story? Surely, a youngster like himself had something in mind, something he was doing out here- a purpose. And he was drinking, what... water? Maybe he wasn't the drinking type. Or maybe he wasn't even old enough to drink in the first place. I smiled, bringing the rim of my glass to my mouth as I downed the clear yellow liquid that had been given to me.

When I finished quenching my thirst, placing the empty glass on the counter with a satisfied 'ahh', I turned to the young man down the counter once more. "Oi. You from out of country, kid?" I smirked, narrowing my eyes as I examined him with a cheerful simper manifesting. "I can tell you've been traveling at least. Headed somewhere in particular?" Friendly conversation, I was a pro at starting it. But there were times when I got rather... negative responses. I was prepared for that, too. Prepared for anything, really. In the end, however, I was simply a weary traveler looking for someone to talk to.

[Katsuo]

The bartender grumbled the way he was being talked to, though he kept his thoughts to himself. What he didn't take into account was the fact that Michiko could hear him.

'Though that doesn't sound right. Why wouldn't he tell a kid off and instead grumble if he didn't know I could hear him. Perhaps he did know, which would subsequently reason that he in fact DID know I was a ninja, which would explain why he didn't say it aloud. Though that brings the questions if I'm correct, why bother goading a ninja at all?'

Figuring he was over thinking it and wasting his thoughts on a failure of a man, he silently and slowly drank the contents of his glass. He wanted to savor every drop as it drizzled down his throat, the coolness of the surprisingly clean water filled his body. He gave a light sigh of content as he softly put the cup down. Making sure to keep his ears open, he looked to his left, to see a group of people laughing quietly amongst themselves, playing a card game. They were big burly men, the ones that looked like life had failed them and reduced them to breaking rocks with picks.

He smelled the slight tinge of beer as apparently they were drunk, or well on their way.

"How pathetic," he said in a low apathetic voice.

Grown men, with muscles most young adults envied, sitting around playing cards as if life was nothing more than that card game and they won a day's earning. He deduced that was why they were reduced to drinking cheap beer and playing cards in a tavern in a small group. He looked at his canteen and realized that he needed water and was just about call out to the bartender until he heard another lighter, more seemingly blissful voice spoke out called first. He looked to the right, his eyes widen slightly as he saw a man, kind of shaggy looking.

'What the hell? I didnt even hear him come in? Was I letting old fools preoccupy too much of my attention? Am I that stupid. Damn old fools!''

He turned back to his glass, angry with himself at his foolishness. It didn't help that the man that asked for lemonade decided to spare him some words. Didn't old people have better things to do than talk with kids? He turned back to the older man contemplating how to respond when he noticed it. His posture, this man obviously wasn't an ordinary citizen. The way this man held himself and his posture, gave hint that he was a trained warrior. Perhaps this man was a ninja.

'That definitely would explain why I didn't sense him. Probably has years on me in training.[/color]'

His tone of voice naturally giving off a bored vibe, a vibe which said he really didn't want to be bother he spoke. "That's correct sir. I'm not from around here. Just doing a bit of traveling for strength training is all."

Did this man not see his gourd on the left side of Michiko or was he simply testing his own intellect. Whatever the case was, he was definitely interested in the man's answer. Perhaps this man could prove insightful in his training. Perhaps.

[Estilo]

My smile grew to one of wolfish proportion. Strength training? Really? It no doubt interested me. Did he even know where he was? How dangerous this part of the country tended to be? Seeing a child his age hanging out at a lonely tavern in the middle nowhere, for the sake of strength training, was definitely something I acknowledged as strange.

"Strength training... of course." I beamed, taking yet another sip of my cool lemonade. "You know... I'm a bit of a teacher myself, back in my homeland. You can say strength training is in my regiment, among other things. So I might be able to help you, if you have a bit of time."

Holding my glass of lemonade lightly in the air with a single hand, gently spinning its contents in a whirlpool of clear yellow and ice cubes, I shifted my glance towards the strange kid. "I'd like to know, however, no foolin'... where exactly do you come from?"

Unbeknownst to him, the sensory in my chakra reserves activated at a thought's whim. And in turn, my thorough experience with the art of the Kagura let me analyze his chakra fluctuations minutely- to the point where I could discern a truth from a lie. Where was he from? And would he attempt to cover it up with a lie or be open about it?

It took most of the night but she finally caved once the young boy started crying. He was of course thrilled when she finally told him he could go, but it was so late that he past out right after she told him. Relizing that he had things to do, he would quickly run around his room getting his mission gear ready so that he could meet up with Atlas-Senpei. Slapping his mask on his face and strapping his leg, arm and body guards on would rush out the door. But of course his mother wasn’t about to let that go down, she would scream at the top of her lungs for him to get back in the house. “What the hell do you think you’re doing BIT! don’t act like your father and just dissappear, I’ll kick your ass" Rei would say as she gave him a small kiss on his forhead, “Be safe son.” She would say as she headed back for the kitchen. “Bye mom!” the small boy would say as he quickly ran out of the house, with extremely light feet made his way through the village. No one would hear him on this early morning as he made his way through Kumogakure, he was truly moving like a ninja. ‘I wonder what Atlas-Senpei has planed for today.’ Bit thought to him self as he jumped from a singular roof landing directly in front of his city gates. The boy would take his mask off for a moment just reliving his identity to the guards, “I will be back later tonight, I think, I’m going to meet Raikage-Sama for a mission or something.” Bit would say as he slapped his mask back on his face, he would take off running as the gates opened slowly. Making his exit known was many of the things he had to do since he had obtained the rank of Chunnin. “Well I’m out now time to pick up the pace even more.” The boy said as he increased his speed greatly, hoping into the trees so that he could move at a better place. Finally reaching his destination the Uchiha would scan the area seeing the different people all around until he finally located his Senpei. “Found ya.” He would say to him self as he quickly jumped from the tree and made his way to Atlas. But the boy would stop in his track as he noticed another boy in the presence of his Kage. “Hrmm I never seen him before, I don’t think he is from the cloud.” Bit would say to him self as he stood about 10 meters away from the position, trying not to make to much a scene the boy would remove his Anbu mask so everyone would know he was. “Atlas-Senpei! I’m here” The boy would say as he continued walking towards the duo, “Who is that there? Is he coming on this hike with us?” The boy would say with a big smile on his face closing the distance to about 1 meter. Now he could see the boy up close, he didn’t look like he was not much older than him. So of course being the person he was he would introduce him self to the other boy. “Hi, my name is Bit Kuroso. Nice to meet you.” [/style] [style=overflow: hidden; background-color: #280f14; width: 390px; color: #6d3943; font-family: arial narrow; font-size: 15px; text-transform: uppercase; height: 15px; text-align: center;] [/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #280f14; width: 100px; color: #f0e3e3; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-top: -18px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 20px; -moz-border-bottom-right-radius: 20px; border-bottom-right-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; -moz-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;]tagged: comments: credit:[/style][style=text-align: justify; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px; width: 260px; margin-left: 10px; color: #9d9d9d; margin-top: -8px; margin-left: 110px;]Stilo/Katsuo Here made by ZINGARA of BTN & LS[/style]

[Katsuo]

He narrowed his eyes. That was too fast. Why would someone so eagerly promote the notion of just randomly giving out free training exercises. What was this man's game? He rapidly thought about his answer, how to dance around the truth. He wasn't a liar, or at least loved to play the game, 'I'm not lying, that just wasn't the full truth'. Watching people seethe or just be annoyed at the difficulty, the boy played his game was always a sight worth seeing.

He decided on what he would say, the nearly eye dodging movement of his scarf indicated he was about to speak, until-

“Atlas-Senpei! I’m here”

He turned rapidly to the sound of the obnoxious voice as the, boy apparently, kept talking. He looked at the adult briefly.

'Atlas-sempai? His name is Atlas? Never heard of him.[/color]'

But at least he knew that the man really was a teacher. That just left the question of why he was offering his knowledge to Michiko and so quickly. Was he really just that foolish or did he have another mission. The young man apparently brought another string of questions to his mind, but before he could do that he was approached and his attention stolen by said boy. He looked at him ludicrously. He was honestly flabberghast by such openness of a stranger to another.

'How foolish; didnt his parents ever teach him not to talk to strangers?'

"Err, hello kid. Nice to meet you," he started unsure of himself.

"Shouldn't you be careful of who you talk to. You don't know, if I could be an enemy ninja or something."

[Estilo]

He'd been on the brink of answering my question- but then? Well, then Bit arrived. I gave a brief sigh, smiling still. Out of all the times he could have come rolling in. Kid, c'mon! I would, nonetheless, kept my mind's eye open and activated. Fueling it with chakra was easy enough, and not in the least bit exhausting. Such was the conservation of a Kagura master. Unaware that he was being evaluated, the young scarfed man sitting at the counter would undergo this assessment of mine.

When little Kuroso-san asked whether the acquaintance of mine was going to accompany us on our hike, I barely shrugged. "I haven't asked him yet, kiddo. But if he wants to..." I added, tossing the stranger a curious glance. "We do have a spot open. We're hunting a bounty target, you see. For the Kami no Shima police. Little Bit here, well... he's my apprentice." I gave kid Kuroso a glance. That 'remember what we talked about?' look. Low profiles, caution at all times, secrecy. I was strong enough to fend off multiple attackers. But the kid... well, I needed to teach him how to survive out in the country on his own. Being nice, friendly and open wasn't always a good option.

I didn't, after all, know who this stranger was. I didn't even have a name yet! And if I didn't get one soon, then this little conversation of ours was as good as done. Sure, I was willing to teach this young guy a few techniques- I'd always found myself interested in meeting new people, hearing new stories. But there were, of course, some occasions where seedy little encounters in a tavern turned out to be as shady as they seemed to be. I didn't want to get into one of those, not with Bit by my side. It wasn't worth it, and I could happily just walk away from it now.

Shouldn't you be careful of who you talk to. You don't know, if I could be an enemy ninja or something. I smiled at this statement. "Are you?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow. Neither me nor Bit were wearing an insignia of Kumogakure. I'd specified that beforehand. For all he knew, we were mercenary non-ninja. So I went with that. "I don't see how a couple of mercenaries like us could acquire an enemy ninja that fast." I chuckled sheepishly. "Then again, we don't even know your name, or where're you from. Mind clearing that up with us?"

The boy thought to him self as the boy didn't look much older than him in age, 'Maybe he has some type of disease that stops him from aging.' Bit thought to him self as he didn't hear anything else the boy said because he was to busy thinking about other things but quickly snapping back into reality by the words of his Sensei his eyes would shoot up to Atlas. The boy would listen as his Raikage explained the whole situation to the other boy. 'Holy crap, he said I'm his apprentice' The young boy thought to him self as his eyes widen a little as he looked upon his mentors face as he further questioned the boy with the scarf. It had seemed Atlas wanted to convince the boy that we weren't members of our village. Bit had learned to just play along with things like this when questioning a stranger. Bit would simple place his mask on the top of his head it would be held in place by the strap on the back of it to the top of the boy's head. With the final three questions in the air Bit would take a couple steps back so that he would be directly beside his Senpei and waited for the boy to speak. 'I wonder what this kid will say, I hope he doesn't make a bad decision' Bit thought to him self as his eyes began to float away from the situation up into the clouds, where his day dream would begin into he hears something of meaning.

"Bit," he murmured to himself, whether loud enough for the two of them to hear, he didn't care.

They were with some sort of police force. He never heard of the Kami no Shinto before, never heard of Bit either. The lack of knowledge was really start to irritate him. He hated being ill-informed. You never could get a grasp of a situation if you didn't know the information beforehand. Though that was one logical reason, his main reason for being ill-informed was because he liked to be on top of everything. He liked being the smartest of the group, to frown upon people less intelligent than himself because that was a powerful form of power. Without knowledge, he's be some scatter-brained muscle head and he didn't like to be stupid.

He sighed as he wavered the pros and cons of the situation. Everyone knew ninja were meant to keep their secrets. And this, "Atlas-sempai" was right. How did he know they wouldn't mistake him for the enemy ninja and try to eradicate him. But...the prospect of hunting and killing a bounty overwhelmed him. His country, his village had no current known ill-will towards any nation at the moment and he knew of none towards his own nation. He'd escape if need be. This "sempai" looked like a damn fool anyway. A greedy, but small smirk crossed his lips.

"I suppose its only fair since you inadvertently gave me both of your names and what you are apart of. My name is Michiko."

He took his gourd and rolled it to his other side where it was clearly visible. He cared not some of the men in the tavern stiffened as Michiko talked. For what reason for their actions, he chalked it up out of cowardice.

"If you'd allow a simple Genin to accompany on a bounty mission, then I would not mind. I would put my life in your hands Atlas-san. I do after all need to grow stronger."

[Estilo]

"Then let's leave, then." I smiled, rather falsely so. I still didn't know where this kid was from, even after having asked twice, but I wouldn't push it. Soon enough, I'd have things my way, and I'd find out. For now, we could focus on working together as the newfound trio that we were in order to track down the bounty I'd taken days before. Calmly, I retrieved a folded piece of parchment from the front pocket of my long coat. I unfolded it carefully in my hands, before turning it towards the younger gentleman for him to see. Bit had already seen it anyway.

Name; Hozuki, Utohan
Age; 23
Gender; Male
Country; Mizu no Kuni
Village; Harihata
Crimes; Murder, Sabotage, Theft
Bounty; 5000 ( Dead ) 8000 ( Alive )
Special; Hozuki, Outlaw
Types; Suiton

Lead; Tatsuya Docks, Mizu no Kuni

"This is our target." I informed Michiko, quite placidly so. "He's been evading my capture for days now. Prides himself on being some sort of genius 'prodigy'. I say we take him down a notch. Not just for his ego, mind you, but for the woman he killed about a month ago."

When I was certain Michiko had finished reading the bounty and its details, I folded the brown piece of parchment up once more and tucked it into my front pocket. "I must warn you, however. Our search may or may not take us to Mizu no Kuni. This all depends on how fast our investigation goes, and whether Uto Hozuki is still in Kaminari no Kuni or not." With that, I smirked. "Just be sure to keep up, okay?"

And with that, I maneuvered back through the tables and chairs covering the tavern's front lounge- headed for the exit with Bit and Michiko behind. There was still daylight in the air, which meant we could begin our investigation and hunt now. No doubt, this journey would take us a few days. But hopefully, a couple of hiking trips and campsites later, we'd catch a good lead on this bastard.

The boy thought to him self as the he looked up a little to the boy. The much smaller Bit would look up at the boy that stood in front of him. "Genin?" the boy would mutter to him self as he turned to Atlas as he began to speak. With few words we found our self walking away from there meeting position. Atlas would snag a folded piece of paper from his jacket attempting to show it to the new found member of there team. Bit already knew of the target, Atlas had actually been talking about going to get this guy for awhile. Bit figured he didn't really have to pay attention to the briefing on the Hozuki Nuke. So of course he found him self just strolling along with not a care in the world until he tripped over a rock as Atlas said something about the location of the man. Bit would lay there on the ground for a min still holding on tight to his mask, he would get up and look at both Atlas, and the scarfed boy. "Ummm lets keep on going." He would say as he would slip his mask on to his face while he walked a little faster than every one else. "Lets get this guy!" Bit would say with a little bit of spunk in his voice.

[Katsuo]

He couldn't believe it. Here they were, willingly allowing him to join their mission. He had to admit he was a little nervous about the whole thing. Sure he did missions, but they were more like chores than 'real' missions. But now here he was, going to hunt and kill a nuke-nin. He felt a bit of trepidation at the prospect still, but he only told himself that this was normal. He was a genin after all, and to hunt for the first time, anyone would be at least a little scared. He'd have to ask if it was normal, but in a way that didn't allow himself to be known as scared.

He put his gourd on his back, careful to put it just under his blade, listening carefully to the target. He took everything said into consideration. His skills unfortunately probably wouldn't be enough if what Atlas said was true. His serious nature took over once again, that was until he heard a challenge. Everything overridden, cockiness took over.

"Please old man, it should be you that should be waary of keeping up. Perhaps old age takes over the mind earlier than expected."

He finally heard Bit speak and looked at him with an awkward, slightly confused glance.

"I would think someone of your age would have great deal of trepidation flowing through them at the prospect of killing a ninja far beyond your caliber. Atlas, is it--is it normal for where you come from for kids to only feel excited at the prospect of killing?"

The kid was cocky, and I guess that was to be admired. What better a time to be cocky than in one's young age, after all. But if he was careful, he'd know when to curb that confidence. It wouldn't get anyone anywhere- especially in a no holds-barred, wild country like this.

"Oi, hold up kid." I smiled, taking a few quicker paces in order to catch up to my younger companion.This was, of course, after Michiko voiced an inquiry. Atlas, is it--is it normal for where you come from for kids to only feel excited at the prospect of killing? I laughed, tussling the hair on top of Bit's head. "When the kid's a mercenary-in-training? Yeah, pretty much. You'll find Kaminari no Kuni is full of strong warriors such as us, all attributed to the fact that we are raised with death and combat. I don't suppose you come across that where you're from?"

I'd talk freely as we continued on down a beaten path, headed straight into a quiet and cold pine forest. Mountains loomed in the barely visible horizon ahead, snow-capped and imposing. Our destination? A river that resided at the center of the pine forest, cutting through the natural territory and headed south. If I were to harbor a guess, it'd be that any campsite our bounty target might have set-up in the country would be near said river. We needed to be ready for a confrontation.

Kagura Shingan (Kagura Mind's Eye)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Sensory Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra: Low - Mid
Special: When first learned, the Sensor can extend their Mind's Eye up to 10 meters in any direction. Each new rank extends the range by 10 more meters, for a maximum of 50 meters. Upon learing the 'S' ranked version, the user will no longer have to close their eyes nor form handseals to activate.
Description: Kagura Shingan is an advanced Sensory Ninjutsu technique used by all sensors, and serves as the root to the entire sensory tree. After a series of handseals, the sensor closes their eyes and uses their inate ability to detect chakra in order to determine the location of their opponent by the faintest of chakra trails, as well as discerning the size of an approaching unseen force, and even their chakra capacity.
Domain: Sensors

Kagura Uso (Kagura's Truth and Lies)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Sensory Ninjutsu
Range: See 'Mind's Eye'
Charka: Low
Special: Allows the Sensor to determine whether a particular target is lying or not by the chakra fluctuations triggered.
Description: Once the sensor begins to understand how to properly mold and detect their chakra, they will learn to look into the specifics of others. With this technique, a sensor is able to detect a truth from a lie by observing the way the chakra waves fluctuate within the one being interrogated. An excellent shinobi tool.

The but right as Bit started to let go of the fact that he had just fell to the ground he would hear the other boy start to talk. "Please old man, it should be you that should be waary of keeping up. Perhaps old age takes over the mind earlier than expected" Bit's face would cringe a little because of the disrespectful tone the boy took with his Atlas, but he would hold his words because he didn't want to add any unnecessary tension. But it didn't take long before the boy moved on to talk to Bit and of course he only heard the key words. "someoneof your age....., trepidation... killing a ninja far beyond your caliber...." Bit of course would start to say something to the but Atlas would begin to talk right before he did. "When the kid's a mercenary-in-training? Yeah, pretty much. You'll find Kaminari no Kuni is full of strong warriors such as us, all attributed to the fact that we are raised with death and combat. I don't suppose you come across that where you're from?" Bit would nod his head up and down as Atlas finished his speech. But following up after Atlas's deceleration the young would say a Bit of his own. "Umm, you don't even know uhh me, I'm good." The boy before he said a slight laugh. "I'll be fine, Big bro has my back and I got his and since you're here we will be watching your back to dude. "The boy would say with out turning to look at the other boy."and Don't worry about the killing factor, me and big bro has done a lot of things." he would say while he slightly grind under his mask. "On ward march!" the young boy would say as the trio made there way towards the river bank." 'I think i got my point across there.' the young boy would think as he bodly walk behind Atlas.'
