Lush undergrowth described the setting of another area revealed by the wandering Inuzukan, his eyes feasting on the spectacular scenery that he had seen in this country. Unlike his native land, this territory was filled with the different beautiful faces that nature wore, the most distinct feature being a ten-meter wide river that ran through her body effortlessly. The streaming liquid seemed to be pouring down a slope, a vast mountain range spilling the contents from north of Hanshin's location to a primitive jungle down south. The watercourse was littered with massive boulders and schools of aquatic creatures following it's path, the sight of any threatening creature around them being void. Hanshin traveled alongside the river's edge, a small crimson canine strolling just to his side, hopping without care and as gleeful as could be. Despite the attitude of his minion, Niro, the Inuzukan combatant couldn't help but express complete distress, examining a clusterfuck of storm clouds that was beginning to gather over the mountain's top. "Goddamnit...it seems like that storm is heading this way..." Although the eventual catastrophe was hours from reaching his exact location, Hanshin despised the idea of allowing such a destructive force to defeat the tranquility that he found in this canyon. One who tried to understand the mind of this man would believe that his life revolved entirely around combat, seeking no other resolution than the thrill of a entertaining fight. However, the was truly an intellectual being within that hardened shell of a criminal, the select moments of silence that he encountered successfully soothing his nerves at times. Even for a man of chaotic endeavors, just like the approaching disturbance, there was a calm before the storm. Feral pupils scanned the fields as his speed refused to delay, hoping to discover a suitable den within the hulking hills that sheltered the valley. Hanshin had zero knowledge of the inhabitants beyond the mountain's guard, but this didn't diminish his determination, treading forward to another unmarked destination. He could feel it in his gut, something life-changing was bound to occur in his near future... special thanks to renni for the smexy ass template

It was the perfection of the tumultuous setting that brought him to the very peak of the mountains. Standing akin to a statue, my eyes directly stared at the frowning clouds and the ill manipulation of the nature bordering the horizon. This was the beauty of Kaminari no Kuni. The constant thunder storms, the sound of incessant rain, the flooding of rivers - these were all key towards the frame of this region of mother Gaea's bosom. The lush environment was a fitting place to call my home from now on out. I had made the transition from a representative of Konoha to that of a Kumogakure shinobi with ease. So as I stood on this pinnacle, it was a reasonable assumption that the I finally found inner peace.

But just like everything in life, nothing was what it seemed to be exactly.

"Areru."

The name bounced off of my tongue with a certain care and elegance that exemplified my appreciation of her. But in the midst of it a hint of woe nestled at the very foundation. The insides of the male had been decaying for quite a while now and the throbs of his heart more rapid. With Areru's life now having an uncertain limit on it, everything in life for himself had dramatically lessened in speed. The same storm brewing before his eyes lurked inside of his mind. There once hadn't been a solution to the problem that phased me day in and out until of recent. In the form of a glimmer of hope, a possible route unveiled itself directly before my mind after the conversation with Soratsu and Blanche a few days earlier. We each had something that we wanted to complete and judging from our potential we could've tackled our personal goals alone within the span of our lifetime. Yet in unison, our powers were clearly heightened and the shackles that kept us constrained no longer effected us to a certain degree. But I knew that if I decided to align myself into such a faction, there wouldn't be any escape. Bloodshed, crimes, lies, trickery, and savagery were inevitable.

The storm made its presence known with a resounding crash of thunder that heated the atmosphere. Drops of rain continued to pound out against the land all around me, leaving no area free from the relentless assault. Tomorrow was the day of my decision since Soratsu offered us all to meet up once more if we found the idea of cooperation enticing. There wasn't much time left to ponder on the decision any longer. The choice for me now grew to be indisputably clear. I wouldn't let time pluck the petals of the very rose from out of my grip.

With a new attitude towards my purpose, I'd begin to descend the mountain with no difficulty. But it wasn't until I saw another figure bounding towards my direction. Thirty meters stood between himself and I, but I continued to descend almost as if I didn't notice the whelp and his minuscule companion. The veins from my eyes intensified until they were visible. For even though he didn't go unnoticed by me, I had come to a greater revolution that was worth more than attempting to halt some unidentified traveler at the moment.

Nature certainly adhered to the thrill of surprising those that journeyed within it's confines, raindrops suddenly leaking from the clouds above onto the striding duo below. A single hand rose to his brow as he sheltered his eyes from the falling liquid, peering up to confirm that this was indeed unexpected rain. The sound of a disapproving groan exited his mouth as he continued to gaze upwards, underestimating the cloud formations that had situated around him. The storm cloud that loomed in darkness in the far distance was still floating toward his presence slowly, but this drizzle was undoubtedly the work of it's henchmen. The plan that he had devised earlier would have to be initiated sooner than expected, changing his attention to that of the mighty mounds of dirt that paled in comparison to the mountains that Hanshin hoped to reach, but it was appropriate for now. His speed hastened as a single hand gesture signaled Niro to mimic his own impatience, dashing forth in pursuit of discovering a cavern in the towering hill's epicenter. Just as he climbed the side of the miniature mountain, his eyes speculated the area, struck with disappointment time after time as his search for shelter failed repeatedly. Surrender sounded like heaven at the moment after ascending 25 meters, the drizzle kamikazing into his frame endlessly until an unforeseen vibration disturbed his concentration. "Hehe, we've got company, Niro..." The ears of the Inuzukan family never lied, a faint thumping resonance entering his conscious from a distance. Although soft and barely noticeable, especially in the rain, nothing escaped Hanshin's perception, halting his escalation instantly. Shifting his head vigorously in the assumed direction, his vision confirmed his hearing, the repetitive sound being the footsteps of an approaching man, who was directly 30 meters ahead of him, and was descending fleetingly. The mysterious pedestrian's acceleration was quickening, Hanshin analyzing whether he had any business with him, but he was never one to flee from confrontation. The man and the Inuzukan had identified each other in the wide open, Hanshin's ascension continuing onward as he was now 20 meters from reaching the male's descent. His composition expressing that of a wanderer's stride, the details of the items that he carried within his baggage consisted of basic shinobi equipment that he had looted from his previous encounter, such as exploding tags, shinobi headbands, a map, smoke and flash grenades, some knuckle dusters, and a strange flute. Nothing that Hanshin valued extremely, but he wasn't going to allow this advancing man to run through him like the falling rain, his movement pausing 10 meters before the man. Whether the mysterious, ivory-stained stranger pursued Hanshin or something else, this Inuzukan intended to find out. "You seem lost, lad..."

[Kaeor]

The speed of my descent would decline alongside that of the stranger below me. If he had continued to come in my direction then I would have assumed he was only passing by. But it didn't take a psychic to understand the tension that birthed in these fleeting seconds. The way he addressed me was unfitting and heeding trouble almost instinctively. But he was nothing more to me right now than a annoying fly. If he merely corrected his words and appropriately excused himself for his previous verbal crime, then I had no problem letting him off the hook. But even I knew that things weren't that feasible the majority of times.

"I'm not in the mood to be bothered with you so scram while you can."

I issued a fair warning towards this man who for some reason saw himself as some sort of authority over me. Whether he would listen was all upon him to be clear, I just desired to continue without hostile confrontations. But I surely wouldn't run away from the face of such if it presented itself.

[tigast]

The Aburame man finally reached a place where he found fit to take a another rest. There was a tree that stood at about 10 meters tall with a wide base. Blue placed his gourd to the side as he slammed his back to the tree. "Finally I can take a rest." He said as he slapped his hand against head wiping his sweat off. Now his mind started to float off into another place as he rested his his eyes.

There was a voice that broke Blue's sleep as his head raised from the wood. "The Fuck is that." he said as he lifted to his feet trying not to make a lot of noise. In what almost seemed like instant my kekai started to swarm they could sense a foreign chakra in the air. There was no need to rush into anything, as I only allowed a few of them escape from my clothing trying to find there way to that foreign chakra flowing in the air.

Once the Blue was on his feet placed his gourd on his back he released a shit load of his Kikai into the air swarming from behind the tree. The bugs would latch on to the two men that should be surprised by the attack. Walking from behind the cover he would make his presence know to the two men. "Im not to sure who you two are but I couldn't take any chances." Blue said as his bugs swarmed from behind the tree. His bugs swarming everywhere leaching onto the two men.

Distance was merely a factor in this situation, Hanshin's naturally hostile demeanor needing not to show on it's own, due to the arrogance of this mysterious male who appeared to be preoccupied with something else. However, it would be abnormal of this former shinobi to ignore such brutal words without consequence, especially in such a isolated and clear location. Unlike his previous encounter, Hanshin decided to avoid confrontation and inciting a fight, the rain being a critical reason, his original intent being to retrieve the whereabouts of the nearest civilization, but the threatening command provoked him to pursue otherwise. The eyelids of the feral predator lowered slightly, his narrow pupils peering into the soul of the man who refused to halt his movement and respect Hanshin with meaningless chat. With the bag tossed over his shoulder, the Inuzukan simply released it from his grasp, the bag thumping into the muddy earth below. The Otogakure traitor had no interest in this luggage this moment any longer, his hand pressing against his neck, releasing the intensity that had built there due to his extended travels. His head motioned from side-to-side, the sound of popping bones ringing into the air as the infamous, devilish smirk appeared on his face once again. "Ehh, 'while I can', you say? You wouldn't be suggesting that if we were to fight, you would defeat me, are you?" Even for a man of his caliber who was experienced with being incapable of being flanked, the mixture of melodies in the environment added to the tension that was growing in his mind caused the approach of another stranger to become completely invisible to his senses. Quite a reach from their position [twenty meters to the side of both Kaeor and I, determined by me since you failed to mention one on your own], upon hearing the voice of the assailant and the immediate "buzzing" that came afterward, the murderous intent that was slowly becoming unraveled came to complete euphoria in an instant, Han forming a single handseal before dropping to the ground, quadruple appendages touching the liquidous earth. The nostalgic feeling of his former kill brought memories to his mind, replicating the same maneuver as he did before. The god-like hearing granted to the Inuzukan by his ancestry allowed him to locate the attacker's location easily, his body zigzagging around the deadly insects, practically teleporting to the boy's front instantaneously. Checkmate. The kikaichu-user's attention still remained on false image that was created due to the incredibly fast movement, granting Hanshin the perfect opportunity to unleash his next assault. Blind rage guided his body now, who was four meters in front the oblivious male, chakra merging with the Hanshin's left claw. How dare this child to send his minions to do his work from behind cover, before he even mentioned his presence? This incited the "no mercy" policy in Hanshin's motives, denying the boy the luxuries of life any longer. His left arm swinging forth, solidified chakra shot out after the shinobi's body, ripping through his flesh and bone smoothly if contact was made, which was inevitable due to it's speed and the boy's diverted attention. Hanshin initially intended to murder the mysterious man with the foul mouth, but to charge the wanderer from the shadows was a greater offense. Hopefully he would understand his crime in the afterlife.

For I had sensed the presence of another long before they had nestled down in the area. My lips didn't really speak about the third body that had been inside of my range. It wasn't my duty to notify him of the third party though. Yet even without me saying anything, I could tell by the one the nose of the Inuzukan perked that that he had caught the scent of him. So after addressing me it wasn't long before I watched him fetch the additional body. It would seem that he had the powers of an Aburame as I noticed several bugs invading my surrounding. I didn't even cringe at the sight of them as I allowed them to gather and get closer towards me.

Once close enough, my divine hands would move faster than recognizable, individually targeting the kikaichuu that swarmed me. In mere seconds my strike would reduce the bugs to ashes in enough time for me to see the Inuzuka attempt to strike his target down. I didn't wait to see what would become of the two but instead I began to walk away, not rendering either important enough for me to stay and watch.

[tigast]

Blue continued to release the massive amount of bugs from under his clothing as he stepped from behind the tree. The men were about 20 meters away he would notice as soon as he got from behind the tree. Both men seemed to be standing there as my bugs swarmed in attempting to leach onto the both of them. It had all seemed successful until one of the men that were standing there had disappeared like he vanished from the spot he was once standing in.

Blue's danger alarm instantly started to go off as he dropped his hands to his side while taking a step back. To try to find the man before it was too late as the man would appear right in front of him thrusting his hand directly into his mid-section. Blue would exhale and spit up a large amount of blood on to the mans face. "Well maybe I should have tried a less hostile approach" He would say as the mans hand exited his body.

Falling to the ground the young abrame man would stare off into the sky looking as the clouds floated around in the sky. "Yea maybe they could have been allies" He thought to himself as the life slowly slipped from his body.

The smell of victory seemed to loom endlessly around Hanshin as he watched his deadly chakra waves rip into the Aburame, the piercing energy shattering the boy's skin and bones altogether, blood bursting from his chest and stomach due to the impact. The Inuzukan stood to his feet a few meters away, confirming the hit and successfully avoiding any liquids that came from the assault, but it indeed granted him front-row seats to this stranger's murder. The chakra that had gathered with antagonistic influence depleted itself greatly, allowing the feral warrior to return to his usually composed self. Upon hearing the body plummet to the ground, Hanshin approached the corpse, examining his clothing as he found solitude with reaping the benefits of the kill. Several items that once belonged to this Sand Ninja was now under the authority of the Otogakure traitor, including his headband and ryo, some secondary weapons, and even a katana. Ignoring the useless bugs that fled from his lifeless body, Hanshin finished his search, the blade on his back in it's holster and the other items tucked safely away in butt pouches, his attention returned to the ivory-haired male only to find him attempting to escape his wrath furthermore. Anger began to boil within the Inuzukan's fiery soul as he came to understand the nonchalant attitude this man displayed, consistently shrugging the murderer off as if he wasn't a threat, and that bothered him. The evasive man was willing to easily determine Hanshin as weaker than him, yet he had no ambition of demonstrating his theory? This was the ultimate sign of cowardice in the predator's mind, and honorably, he felt the swift hammer of justice begin to fall for a second time, aiming in the white-clothed shinobi's direction. While the red-furred canine fumbled with the deceased kikaichu that fell in combat, Hanshin promptly strode toward his luggage's location, the clouds still mourning from the adolescent's death. The mysterious male was still a great range away from the Inuzukan, nearly 30 meters, his back exposed to them. His previous analysis of the stranger's clothing reminded him of an symbol that he had recognized somewhere before, the image embedded into a steel plate wrapped around his waist. Suddenly, the origin of the memory revealed itself without warning, Hanshin remembering the headband to be the same as the shinobi he killed not too long ago, meaning this impatient man unquestionably another Cloud shinobi. The situation was beginning to become too straightforward for Hanshin's tastes, hoping his next tactic would halt or even shorten the expanding difference. The plan formulating in his head, Hanshin knew something had to provoke this man, even in such urgency, and the predator wasn't pleased with the man leaving his presence without at least presenting his capabilities. Upon returning to his grounded possessions, Hanshin had no choice but to rely on heightening his voice to the distant man, hoping the weight behind his words would incite retaliation on the Kumogakure shinobi's behalf.

A threat?

The term loved-ones caught my ears in a instant. My feet refused to budge from beneath me and I'm sure there was something in the pit of my stomach beginning to swell up. The mangy opponent had instantly used words that caused me to lose all rational thought. My eyes had visibly seen how destructively he dismantled the previous Aburame. Yet he completely paled in comparison towards me. So almost like some abyssal shit from the grudge, my neck would twist and head would turn to see the very abuser of words.

The ground beneath me had lit up in a array only view-able by myself. I could clearly see that he was within my range and without anything to hold me back, I'd immeadietly push across the ground and my form would disappear, only to be zooming towards him in a single powerful swift attack.

Death lingered in the shadows of the drizzling rain, the narrow pupils of the Inuzukan warrior never leaving the backside of the descending male. Being a natural hunter, Hanshin loathed the idea of having to lure his prey into a fight, preferring the excitement of a chase instead, but this nameless man was immovable, his emotion empty as that same cold sentence from before, which rang endlessly through Hanshin's membrane. This opposition caused the murderer to respond with such a vile demeanor, his plan surely succeeding as the white-haired male halted his movement. The devilish smirk remained embedded into his face, the red Inuzukan symbols painted on his face bulging upward due to this antagonistic expression. The threatening human refused to deal with the Inuzukan's bloodthirsty intent before, but sudden shift of attention undoubtedly proved he was prepared at any cost to accept the missing shinobi's existence. A malicious chuckle heard only in whispers activated the burning passion within him, his chakra boiling as he watched the male turn to observe his combatant. Hanshin knew that no real man would allow such a threat to entire his home village and slaughter his family, meaning that some form of retaliation was destined to occur in the next few seconds. Simultaneously, the Inuzukan's eyes became like that of a wolf, in correspondence with his fingernails, hair, and even his teeth. The transformation needed not another single moment to finish, the last objective being to kneel to the Inuzuka Clan's signature stance, and the murderer had that just in mind... ""Hehe, 'atta b--"" And in a flash, thunder was heard crackling through the air, the storm's supersonic approach rivaling that of the Hanshin's own. He hadn't expected what had happened next, dozens of pin-point stings stabbing into his body like lightning before he could even identify the culprit behind the assault. Instantly, the tenketsu inside the warrior's body had been sealed, Hanshin's view of the environment around him slowly ascending upward as his body flopped against the ground behind him. The animistic weapon that he was dying to utilizie against this new opponent seized to exist any longer, the chakra needed in order to sustain it's form sealed and prohibited from exiting it's location. Paralysis controlled every inch of Hanshin's frame, his neck granting him enough movement to witness the man that stood over him now, the ivory-haired male. The expression of complete uselessness filled Hanshin's face, chuckling simulateously with a sudden cough every few seconds as he understood the result of his arrogance. He hadn't even been given a chance to prove his worth against this unknown assailant before he had been swatted like a fly, and this angered him to no end. However, the Inuzukan male expected this moment to transpire at some point in his life, but not as immediately as it did. Analyzing the mentality of this man and whether the rage born from Hanshin's words was bold enough to end his life, his final conclusion was that this was probably the end of his murderous streak. Observing the entire ordeal, Niro lunged into the Hyuuga's leg, it's dull teeth and weak jaw gripping at the male's feet as Hanshin muttered his final words, waiting impatiently for his demise... "*cough* "Well, then...good game, mate..." *cough*" special thanks to renni for the smexy ass template

[Kaeor]

Like a axe, I had befell my opponent in a single powerful motion.

His own crimson liquid darted from his mouth in an reactive measure from the pain that inflicted his frame. It was without thought that I attacked, and the same would happen for any other that expressed any sign of ill intentions towards my secondary heart. Nonetheless, I didn't lecture the shinobi about his error. Matter a fact, this was his judgment that I was bound to deliver. And the final ruling of it all - his demise.

My arms lifted in preparation to deliver a final blow above his heart as the patience within me dwindled with every breath he drew. However, in my fury I had a blind eye pressed towards the companion I noticed before with even him becoming an insect within my Byakugan's range in my fit of anger. The small canine latched his teeth at my feet, my ninja sandals protecting me from the majority of the minor harm that he did. But in that beast's action I witnessed the protector that lurked inside of him, willing to do anything he could to aid his master. And with that I could only infer that this ninja was the dogs sole reason to grow and fester into something more powerful.

My hands lowered and my intention of attacking changed to that in a attempt to pluck the small canine from my foot to inspect him.

"This dog... He fights for you even though he doesn't understand the gravity of your actions, words, or your nefarious character. Do you even believe your worthy of his defense?"

Hanshin stared into the ivory pupil of this man that stood over him, his eyelids lowered with the sign of weakness as the rain forced the blood from his mouth down his cheek. Muffled cries of the pink-haired canine that stood by his side rang through his shaken frame, the fallen warrior envying the adolescent's courageous act, even in such frightening situations, and this was the fearlessness that Hanshin sought to witness from his student. Just as he did for himself, Hanshin had no remorse for his actions, nor did he have any remorse for any misfortune that would fall before the pup, for he understood the concept of 'survival of the fittest' to the core, and refused to lose sight of that ideology. An extremist in the art of combat, the Inuzukan man never knew that such a nonchalant man, one without a name and a history, could easily defeat him without a second thought, but this did not mean he ignored the possible consequences of approaching such an anonymous being. His body remained motionless against the ground, his arms stretched outwards, limp and disabled, but the determination in his face was just the same as it was before. And the murderous hand that prepared to finish his pathetic life suddenly shifted it's attention to Niro, the crimson pup who continued to gnaw at the soles of the warrior while it's master seemed to cave into submission. Due to the position in which he was laying, Hanshin couldn't see the resolution in his student's eyes, but he could undoubtedly hear it, the growling coupled with it's futile attempt to assault the assailant bringing a grin to the animistic human's face. Although it's fangs hadn't grown in completely, due to still being young in age, the beast within it never understood cowardice, and was willing to risk it's life to protect the man who had placed them in such a dangerous situation. The thought of this forced Hanshin to wonder what exactly compelled the canine to act so frivolously, measuring Niro's sense of allegiance for it's master with Hanshin's own for his student, and he comparison showed to be flawed. However, the grounded Inuzukan reconfirmed his ideas and believed completely that even though his intent of self-advancement was delicate, it would unquestionably grant himself and the canine with heightened capabilities, even with the uncertainty of death. "Heh, I never asked for his defense... Niro, this pup... he follows in my shadow with complete understanding of the consequences that come with challenging life itself... I don't expect you to know me five minutes and to understand my motive so easily... but, if you question the degree of loyalty between us two... I can only explain that this pup does not fight for it's master, but it fights for power... I am it's master, and if I were to die, it wouldn't achieve that level of superiority it so desires... a foolish idea, it may seem, but that is the circle of life... defeat... or be defeated..." special thanks to renni for the smexy ass template

The response from the Inuzuka was a testament to his atrocious nindo and will. The idea that he attempted to convey to me was foolish just as he claimed it seemed. From my perspective, it wasn't power that this pup primarily wanted to gain. It was a sense of usefulness and the ability to harness a stronger identity. As quickly as he placed the burden of his thoughts on me I had dispersed them. After all, how could someone so easily defeated be of use to me.

But I pitied him because of his companion.

"You're worthless. There's a difference from seeking a challenge and harassing others. I'd leave you here to perish if it wasn't for this pup."

Kneeling over I'd firmly strike his body once more, pain of course the reaction but with that he would find the ability to move. The knowledge of power that he previously informed me about was the bait that I would use to force him along.

"If you want to make that pup stronger - as well as yourself - then follow me."

My words were understandably clear and I wouldn't tarry any longer.
