[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]hnn, damn it. I scratched at the back of my head as I stood inside the mission compound. What the hell was going on with the gigantic backlog of missions not being done.

Do these lazy bastards not realize these missions benefit the entire village." Esop! I'll take the two most urgent missions on the schedule.[/color]" I watched him reach for what seemed like three different scrolls. The way he held the third was peculiar before he bit his thumb enough that blood began to seep from the wound.

I don't know what the hell is go--. Then poof he had used one of the scrolls for a summoning ninjutsu." Uso - sama, it would seem that these medical cases need to be transferred as soon as possible. I would have done it myself, but with all the other things backed up --." I waved him off, because I knew how it felt to be overworked, and understaffed at the moment.

" I understand it Esop. I'll be back later to help you with the rest." The resolve of this village in him, he held on his shoulders those burdens for the people he cared for. If only the ninja of the village held the resolve that these civilians held inside of them.

I had to bring my right hand up to my mouth as my left grabbed onto the case. My blush clearly caused me some embarrassment. This was my turn to make an exit -- pushing myself with a steady speed out of the sweeping double doors. I stopped for a second sliding on the ground because of my speed.

Esop threw the scrolls over to me as in my haste I forgot to pick them up! What the hell is happening to me to be so sloppy at a time like this! I shot my right hand up grasping both scrolls in my singular hand with a forked grip. It was way harder then it looked, but none of that matter since it was time for me to start my mission.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]I unraveled the first mission scroll between my fingers. It was different; as in it was a simple delivery mission in of it's own. My gaze rolled down the piece of paper as I needed to find the actual address. That was when I saw it.

I nearly winced because I knew exactly where I was gonna go. The Devastated Sector 110FB. That was where the most civil unrest laid for they felt Ji was neglecting them. They didn't understand that we only had a little bit of money, and repairing the most important landmarks for protection are more relevant.

" Huff " I couldn't help, but feel a wave of tension rush over me as I walked into the destroyed gates for sector 110FB. The debris that littered the streets, and even crushed houses. It was horrible, and I couldn't stop looking at all of the destruction.

Yet that wasn't what got me the most. It was the heat -- the heat coming off of their eyes. I could feel there looks of hate, and blame pouring over me. I wanted to scream that I could do nothing to help them, but none of that will even matter. I felt so ashamed, walking through this "neighborhood".

Damn. I can't even think of it as a neighborhood because of all of the destruction. " I'm so sorry " I mumbled those words, but not for their ears, but my own. I needed to calm my nerves as I felt myself slipping into a state of uncaring.

I didn't want to be the monster that they all pictured me as. They see me either as the Nidaime -- or Ji's puppet on a string. And honestly that is all I am a puppet to him. His father creates this mess, but he just strolls in, and takes over everything like he is the rightful leader.

No, what the fuck am I thinking. Ji is the rightful owner of everything. I wasn't paying attention as I tripped over a piece of debris. I fell down onto the ground with a great thud. Shit, who put that there oh yeah the enemy. That shit really hurt like a lot.

I had to rub down my knee since the pain seemed to be sporadic at the moment. " Excuse me, Miss? Are you the shinobi that was supposed to come for me? [/i]" The voice of an angel was what I had heard. I shifted my gaze from the wound, and onto her. She couldn't be any older then 20 or so.

The smile she gave me was like the world was worth living. I had to agree with that.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]I used her helping hand as an anchor to help myself get off the ground. The pain in my knee subsided as quickly as it had come when I looked at her. It wasn't love or anything close to it. I was just dumbstruck at there being someone more beautiful then myself within the village.

It'll be a bright, and shiny day in the underworld before I ever admit that out of my lips. "Ahh, yes this is the delivery." I was still taken with her beauty, and didn't really wanna speak any longer, but she beckoned me into her broken down domicile. " Come along, we need to get these inside before they come back.[/i]"

My mind lingered on the last little bit. Who were the "They" she spoke of in such a terrified tone? I followed her inside trying my best to not trip on my heeled boots as I walked inside. My balance was a little off, and when you trip in heels you might as well just break them off unless you are skilled enough to walk again. As I entered her domicile I tried my best to hold back the shock which tried to hard to escape onto my face.

It was livable for the most part, but half of the upstairs wasn't even there like a huge gap. A tarp was placed over that section, I mean from what I could see 5 of them were stitched together. It broke pieces of my emotional heart to see my village in such disrepair, and baring such barbarian hardships.

I vow to fix this anyway possible. Ji doesn't see it at all, because he is so wrapped up with his own little world. And honestly that made me even more in love with the bastard. When I was finally in the center of the house, she seemed to wave her hand towards me. Now that I think about it she called me miss.

I don't know how I should respond to that since I am a man. I guess the clothing is what makes me seem girlish. Or maybe it is my sheer beauty that no male could ever wish to possess." I'm sorry, but what is your name again? I didn't seem to get on on the mission scroll. ehh miss?[/i]" She turned away from me, kneeling down with the case in her hands.

I didn't even realize it was gone from my clutches. I needed to end this scatterbrained. . ness. Whatever. I shifted my gaze again around her humble place. It showed character in the way it spoke to people wanting to survive even in this great mess. I suddenly turned realizing the cots were stationed in the room next to us, with the only signifier being a simple cough.

This house was her medical sick bay! She was a medical ninja -- yet I never saw her on the shinobi registry, but then again I don't even know her name. "...Haruko -- Haruko Kazuki --"I didn't catch that last part in my daydreaming.

" Haruko? Hmm, that sounds like a pretty cute name. I'm sorry to have to cut to the chase. The people you say as" they", who are they exactly.[/i]" She looked down with a solemn look. I hate that on her facial features those wrinkles would kill her inside if she saw that.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]I hated sitting around watching the look on her face. I delivered the pills so my question really didn't mean much anyway."They call themselves Shirudo, or The Shield. They are bandits who killed, beat up, or . . . rape anyone they can get there hands on. They stole all of my old supplies which is why I needed too--"[/i]"

I ran over, and held her shoulders. Those tears that fell from her eyes they hurt me so much. It was like a void was opening up in my chest at the pain that I knew she had to have gone through.

I hated these bandits with everything in my soul, and would get vicious vengeance on every single last one of those bastards. They were just like the people who attacked ame, vicious pieces of shit who I could no longer deal with with civilities.

I know Ji said don't use violence while inside Ame, but I'm breaking that rule to kill every single last one of them. " I'll get back all of your medical supplies, and after that you will never have to worry about them again. Ever again.[/i]"

I could feel the bass in my own voice as the want to kill began to unfurl itself from behind my wall of sanity. I could feel it the thoughts given to me by mother to kill, kill, kill. I could feel it like a knock on the door to kill everything with a singular swing, hick, and slore. Gah, I needed to keep control of myself or I might begin here.

I looked over into the next room. " Are these?" She got up, and guided me into the room. I felt sick to my stomach as I saw the severe, and even fatal wounds which had been inflicted upon these women. It was just that women in this little room.

" because of the war, the men have become short around this area. the shirudo took advantage of that and began to rape, and kill all the women here. . . these are the ones I could, and couldn't save." My anger exploded, but not just because of the bandits, but also because of Ji.

He allowed this to happen, with his little vacations. He never policed the entire village like I told him he should. He was just doing everything wrong. Yet I am gonna fix all of that right now.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]This was to be the day something changed inside of me. The heat inside of my hands, and heart from the anxiousness to go out, and do harm to another human being. These "creatures" were in the wrong.

They butchered these women as if they meant absolutely nothing at all. I stepped back into Haruko's make-shift infirmary to see the bodies that seemed to be losing their battles sooner, and sooner. This wasn't something that would be forgiven in any sense of the word.

They were animals, complete and simple animals. My left hand was pushed outwards, resting on the door's frame. My palm turned red from all the might I used to press against the damned wall. My mission so far was completed, but the logical parts of my brain fought with the moral parts.

I shouldn't actually care about this little incident because it happens all across the lands all the time, but this was my village, and no one does this to me. This was the ultimate form of disrespect to come to my place, and kill my people.

Yet at the same time it wasn't my place. I tried desperately to wrestle with what I knew, and decided to just walk away. I pulled my hand back, and rested it at my side before turning around, and making my way towards the door.

This was an unfortunate case, and no one would be angry if something was done, but I just cou--. " Miss, they will all die. I know you are a shinobi of this village please help us! please!" It hit my heart her tears of pain, but I couldn't deal with this in my suggestive state of anguish.

"I'm sorry. . . I-I just can't.[/i]" I knew she was behind me, and I could feel my words had made her the same. The same as the others earlier. That glare that I was pure evil or a cursed creature. " you are a monster. . just like shirudo. You only do things when there is a reward for you like this mission! YOU MONSTER![/i]"

I didn't have to see it to know she collapsed onto the floor. The sound of it vibrated all around the wreckage she called a domicile. It was an unconscious move to bite my lip a little too hard. Yet this hurt me so badly because I needed someone to help me when my mother. . .

What is this -- tears!? No, I can't be crying not now. This is just not fair damn it. " Where were they last seen?" I tried my best to work through my strained voice. " They are in the southern regions of ame." I didn't bother to answer her as my body walked into the middle of the street.

I turned to my left, and my legs moved as fast as they could. I extended my hands back with the speed as I pushed everything I had into this run. I needed to do this to save them, but not only that to save myself. No one was there to help me with mother so I need to show them the help I never got.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]This headache which developed all of a sudden. It's hurting my head really badly, it's making my footing a little unstable as I run. The information that I was given before was really vague, but any information about these bastards at all would be good.

Hmm, this area of the village is it brand new? I don't remember this sector at all. The houses were still destroyed like 110FB, but I just didn't remember it, and my headache seems to be getting stronger by the minute.

It started the day Ji left for his little "adventure time". I swear I got so pissed off at that fucking moment because he leaves me all alone. Argh! The headache is becoming more of a migraine I can't take this, and my thigh really hurts.

That's my Black lightning seal why does it feel so heavy on my body it never had a feel before. Whatever. I needed to continue on. The full out run I was doing had me at my max speed now that I was within the southern regions the border of the village itself.

My emotions were unstable, but then again when where they ever not? I needed to get to the base of operations for these bastards before it was too late, and they struck again. I didn't need for any of this to happen, but I needed to help them. I had no one to help me when mother attacked us. Damn it.

I must be fatigued or something I can't remember when mother attacked or what she looked like now for some reason. Whatever. That doesn't matter right now. I gotta keep moving for these people. I continued my pace and finally hitting the outskirts of the village -- I began to scan the area for tracks or anything.

I mean she said southern quadrant, but then again I didn't know where the hell they were at all. I went into a full stop, switching my angle to power slide myself into a stop. This was near impossible in heels, but I had managed albeit almost tripping over myself. Now back to scanning this wide expansive area.

What am I an idiot. I'm out in the open with a known force which likes to mess with Amegakure like a playground. This is completely retarded in it's most simplistic of ways. Yet I needed to do this even if it is completely out of my character to do shit for people, but whatever.

[The Dude]

Yui stopped in at the mission compound to check assignments. The missions had been backed up quite a bit lately so she figured she'd come in and see what she might be able to do to lend a helping hand. To her dismay however, a large troupe of newly graduated academy students had taken up most of the office. Chatting and complaining, whining and crying, they all stood about being useless as their sensei's went to the front desk to accept missions. Kids were great and all, but this was an ungodly gaggle of uselessness until they were put to work.

She sat down and opened a few pamphlets on proper techniques and uses scanning over the material briefly before dismissing it all as useless to a shinobi at her skill level. That wasn't to say she was haughty or powerful, but that the pamphlets seemed to have a target audience of newly graduated genin. She tossed them aside back on the table and looked up to find the office had become silent and all the genin and teachers had left to begin their missions.

"Finally!" Yui sprang up to her feet lightly and jogged over to the counter where the man smiled warmly at her. "What do you have for me today Esop? I'm in the mood to help you dude!" She held out a hand expectantly awaiting some sort of scroll to be set in her hand as was the usual event, but it didn't come. She crooked an eyebrow in wonder at the man.

"Oh, Yui. Not working with Ichi today? That's a shock!" he laughed heartily before continuing in a serious tone and spreading his hands wide, "I don't have any work left for you today though! Those little runts cleaned us out at last on all the assignments we had to give." They looked at each other for a moment before he resumed, "But you don't take no for an answer very much do you. Alright, I'll tell you what. There's a young genin out in the field today. The people who know him tend to call him Uso. He took off quite a hefty work load before we knew those genin were coming in. These are copies of the missions he took, I bet he would mind a helping hand just to make the job go a little easier." He said dropping three mission scrolls onto the table.

"Esop you're a miracle worker!" Yui chimed hugging the scrolls to her chest and sprinting backwards out the door. "You leave it to me, I'll go check on him and see if he needs any help!"

It was within the darkness where the party truly existed. A lone shinobi bearing a Takigakure headband stood within a small alleyway. Shadows enshrouded the area around him as he stood alone atop a raised platform. He was addressing hooded figures below him. It was hard to see what was going on. The only reason you could see his headband was due to a single light that shone down onto the top of his head from above. The spotlight was there to simply focus attention on himself as he addressed his goons.

It was the perfect area for illicit behavior. The lack of illumination added to the mysteriousness of the people who were situated here. This was of course complimented by their cloaked appearances. Even the leader of the pack stood with a bandanna wrapped around the lower half of his face. His voice was not phased by this however, being able to address the group with ease. One more important characteristic about the area was that it was surrounded with plenty of places to hide for prowling eyes. The group merely assumed that no one would venture down this far into the darkness to spy on them. It was scary out here.

"We are coming one step closer to achieving our goal. Many of you are to be congratulated on your actions so far. You have shown your dedication to the cause, and to our leader. Both her and I are impressed at your efforts thus far. But we still have work to do. The war is not over yet and as we continue to work from the shadows, Amegakure is still not entirely under our control. Our progress has allowed the crusade to gain followers, even from within Amegakure. Soon judgement day will fall upon the Amekage and his followers. Then... then we will finally have vengeance on the ones who cast us aside."

A few members of the squad raised their arms in cheer as the man paused his speech for a moment. He clapped his hands slowly as well, cheering to the words that he had just spoken. After clearing his throat, he continued to make announcements to the group. "Civilians that fail to recognise the cause we lead must also feel our force. Raiga and Gogetsu have supported this ideal, dealing with some of the survivors of the attacks on Amegakure. It is only through violence that our point can be made. Mercy is for the weak and will only lead us backwards. That being said, you all know what job you need to do. There are more survivors out there. If they fail to recognise that we are the rightful leaders of Amegakure, dispose of them along with any shinobi you come across."

"I eagerly await the day that we look over the village of Amegakure when it is finally in our hands. For now though, you are all dismissed," the man finished whilst still atop the platform. The goons before him bowed their heads and flickered out of the area. As the man remained alone, he chuckled to himself lightly. Things were finally starting to fall together. He had failed to recognise that somewhere out there, the resistance was building. Soon his time would be up.

[/td][td][atrb=border,0,true][classy=postcontentt]Hnn, that voice sounds familiar. It seemed to vibrate throughout the area. I turned back towards that separate space where ruins where. I lightly ran while bending over for a sort of creeping fast walk ( solid snake style ).

I was fast enough to get to a wall, and begin to hug it. The alleyway seemed to be a combination of two ruined houses. It was odd that the light even worked, but then again this entire sector was so new to me. Why is that? I had my back to the wall by stealing glaces every other second before returning back to the darkness of nothing.

What I could catch glimpses of seemed to be some sort of gathering. I mean they were in an alleyway the worst sort of deal if someone with a considerable (AOE) ninjutsu just decided to ruin there day. I'm thinking about smashing them right now. Especially the leader in the midd-- h-his headband.

Argh, I need to keep quiet. I tried to silence the quick intake of breath that I had done. That headband . . . my head hurts whenever I look at it. Why - Why does it looks so familiar to me as if I'm looking at something I've always seen. The symbol gives me a feeling, no a memory? Ta. . Taki. What the hell is Waterfall?

I turned my head again, and the goons seemed to bow. I missed the bastards speech in this little bit of hysteria. Well that isn't completely true. My ears heard bits, and pieces, but what I heard was enough to push me over the edge. I needed to know who he was, and what that headband meant, and he would tell me or die horribly.

I needed his answer now, so my eye's watched slowly taking in the entire scenery. The goons seemed proficient in ninjutsu to flicker away so suddenly. This must also be the shirudo bastards, but death would come after the questions. I moved myself forward off of the wall, and pushed forwards down the alley silently.

I allowed the shadows become my backdrop as I moved closer, and closer with the same creeping walk until I stopped just before the end of the alley, and where he stood. No doubt he would have noticed my figure appearing from nowhere. I looked up at his face, and the familiarity of it started me.

I knew him. I definitely knew this guy, but from where I didn't know at all. " I see you're one of the troublemakers. It's sad to say, but I'll need to question you for a bit. Oblige, and Live. Decline, and well you get the point." I wanted more then anything to remember who he was, and why his voice was inside of my mind before I even met him.

[The Dude]

Since having left the office Yui had bolted off while reading and leafing through the mission scrolls lightly. She didn't have time to read through them as thoroughly as she wanted too or normally did, but she got some vague overview of the objectives. More importantly though, she now knew where she was going and turned off with a fervor at her top speed. It would be a waste of time if she got there and this Uso chap had taken care of all the work already. Hopefully he wasn't that far ahead of her and she would be able to catch up!

She came to a skidding halt in a part of the town she knew well. Sector 110FB. Ironic that it happened in her own neighborhood, but not surprising really. This 'neighborhood' had been unfortunate enough to fall too far below the budget the village had to work with. Yui washed up here because, well frankly she was homeless. It wasn't a fact she shared with most people but the truth of the matter was she had lived a nomads life in her travels. Nomads don't make the most money of course so she carried most of anything she would ever need with her, and slept in places no one would care. Sector 110FB was the perfect place to lay low while staying in one place.

Yui made her way to the building and wrapped gently on the wall outside. She waited patiently for the woman to come and answer the door with a bewildered and confused look on her face. "Yui? What are you-"

Yui held up a hand to interrupt her, though she didn't mean it to be rude, "I'm sorry but I don't have time to talk today Haruko. I'm running behind on my schedule, and need to catch up with the ninja who came for the delivery. Can you tell me where he went to?"

She was confused and a little mystified by the strange occurrence for a moment before she nodded and explained to the best of her ability where Uso had been going. Yui thanked her politely and shot off after the mystery ninja, leaving her to stand alone on the porch looking after her. She didn't say anything. Merely stood looking out after Yui. They occasionally met and talked in the neighborhood but Haruko had always felt sorry for Yui not even having a home. Now she was coming to terms with the idea that Yui was actually a shinobi of the village. Which meant, she chose to live without a home...

As Yui pursued Uso she sang to herself absentmindedly. It wasn't a song she wrote, nor the works of her father but it resonated with her soul. Between every deep inhale an exhale of words that had long kept her company when she had been alone.

"Class traitor? What fucking ever!
I'm just another middle class kid, too.
But if I'm not good at changing, I'm good at self loathing
So I'll class hate myself with you.

And I'll drink myself to death!
Or at least I'll drink myself to sleep!
Chainsmoke my way through the gaps in between
My aspirations and my apathy.

As we stride past the last exit to home I am waving goodbye
And I might be sleeping in the ditch tonight but it's alright
Cuz whiskey is my kind of lullaby"
