wandering soul, (o/tama)

[KEITH]

After seven long years of traveling and trying to re-discover myself, I found myself moving into the wastelands of Tsuchi no Kuni. It had been a long time since I last treaded the dirt of this land, wondering where my feet would take me. I didn’t bother to think of a specific direction to go, or even thought of what I should do, all I did was move. Advancing forward was the only thing on my mind, and it was the only thing I cared about at the moment. 

The Yonbi’s chakra had swelled up within me, expanding my own chakra reserves, making me feel stronger than I ever was. Of course, after seven years of being its Jinchuuriki, we found ourselves creating a strong bond with each other, and having a similar trait with each other—hating all humans, though we still believe that there may be a few exceptions. The two of us shared a powerful connection, and we could feel when the other is in deep thought, thinking about something that may concern the welfare of us both. 

“What is it, Son Gokū? What’s on your mind?” It was an internal conversation I would attempt to have with him, I didn’t want anyone to come spying on us other anything, and think I was crying for talking out loud to myself. “Hmm…It’s nothing; I just get a strange feeling from this land is all.” The Yonbi had spoken in his baritone voice, and his answer made me think a bit. Didn’t he have origins in this country or something like that? 

I wondered what could have been making him have these strange feelings. But, if he didn’t want to talk about it, there is nothing more I could do. “If you say so, Gokū-sama.” We ventured through a vast wasteland; we would think that we were the only people out here in this open land. Not a single obstacle or person was in sight, well from at least of what we could see.

It been 7 years, Every since that time he and His friend Genjiro split up, he didn't see him for 7 years, he heard while he was travelling alone in this world from some people that he got killed but The young silver haired boy was shocked and sad all this time but he got over it and keep his travelling. The young silver haired boy got stronger physically and mentally because he was training all the time he even let a time past him, Araki decided to come back to his village, he really wanted to see what change happened to village when he left it, he made a way to the wastelands of Tsuchi no Kuni, he used to play in this place when he was kid, it was a open land he thought that he the only person in this open land, he glanced around with sharp eyes, as he was looking around he noticed a guy standing, Araki couldn't see the person headband because the young silver haired boy was standing 10 meters behind him and then Araki didn't know if he was imagine this or this guy was talking to himself, " Yo! " the young silver haired boy yelled, he was checking if that guy was one of the Iwa Ninjas or not and Araki needed to talk to person he didn't to a person for a while it kinda an awkward, he didn't know what to say this person at all .

[KEITH]

As I continued on my adventure, I would hear someone call out to me from behind, seeing that focusing on the Yonbi had taken my focus off of the material world, and allowed someone to get behind me unnoticed. I stopped in my tracks, and swiftly turned my head to see who had been behind me, noticing a younger male, before turning around completely to face him. My golden hues sat upon the boy and began to examine him from our ten meter distance, and compared to him, I would be very tall, towering over him easily. 

With a wicked expression upon my face and an arched brow, I would question him. “Who are you, boy?” Thanks to Jiongu, I wouldn’t look that much older than him, due to my body not physically aging anymore. But in reality, I was still way older than him, and probably far more experienced with life. I hadn’t worn my villages’ headband, I had only worn garbs and robes.

[Tohma☆]

The young silver haired boy was confused, the guy wasn't wearing any head band but Araki thought in the first place that this tall guy was a ninja and Araki was asking himself what was the chakra surrounding, The young silver felt the guy's chkra from that distance and then the guy turned around his head and he asked The young silver haired boy who he was " My name is Araki " The guy seem much older and much taller than Araki.

[KEITH]

With the boy giving his name, I began to wonder if he had been from around here. If he had been a Shinobi from Iwagakure, I wanted to know if he knew about the current status of the village. Seven years ago, unbeknownst to me at the time, I had killed the former Tsuchikage in order to acquire the Yonbi. I wondered who the new Tsuchikage was, if they really had one.

“Araki-san, eh? Well, my name is Hinomoto. Would you happen to be from around here, by any chance?” I spoke calmly and politely. I knew my appearance could make people question what type of guy I was, though if they thought I was the “villain” type they would be right. But, until it was proven, I would have liked to avoid such labeling.

[Tohma☆]

As the the old guy gave out his name, he started to ask questions, the youg silver haired boy wondered about this guy, there was something fishy about this guy he didn't know, the old man seemed to be a ninja but in otherside he seemed a normal old guy, " Yes, i'm from around" He said with a soft voice, " Where did you came from? The young silver haired boy asked him and he was looking at the old guy eyes to know if he was lying, he wanted to know where exactly this old guy came from.

[KEITH]

“Where am I from? Well, I can’t really say. I would say . . . either the pits of hell or—actually, this Shinobi world may just actually be hell. But, it is hard to say where I am from; I am sort of a Vagabond.” It was a bit long winded, but I wanted to create a picture for the boy, how he would interpret it was completely up to him. So, this boy had been from around here, and then since he had been traveling around in this wasteland alone, he had to be able to protect himself.

He most certainly was a Shinobi, but to be sure, I would just have to test him out. Him being a Shinobi was one thing, but if he had been a good one, then that was something different entirely. Perhaps he would be able to assist me a bit.  Before the boy’s very eyes, a cloak of chakra had wrapped around me, and a large tail was revealed from my backside, and in a burst of speed, I charged toward the boy, the chakra of the Yonbi wrapped around me. 

I wasn’t trying to seriously hurt the boy, or even hurt him at all, I just merely wanted to see his skills if he was a Shinobi. I used a weaker version of the Yonbi’s chakra, so when I would come into physical contact with him, I wouldn’t maim him. In a burst of speed, I had closed the distance between us in a second flat, throwing a strong left hook into the right side of his face, if successful; it would knock him back several meters.

This old guy seemed to hidding something about him and where was actually came from, The young silver haired boy was quit impressed how this old man talks, the old man was too confident like too cocky, this was the way Araki was looking at him, As The young silver haired boy was looking at him, the old guy in bit he wrapped himself with a chakra and a tail appeared on his back, it was kinda strange, the old guy ran toward Araki with unbelievable speed trying to hit him a with his right side of Araki face, the young silver haired boy was standing when the fist was 1 meter away from his face, Araki in an instant he used Sidestep tech that he dashed 10 meters up in the air, as he was on the air he threw a kunai at the old man underneath him aiming at his head but actually he didn't want to hurt the old man because he didn't want to hurt him at all but he made him do it but Araki knew that he would dodge it easily and then The young silver haired boy landed 5 meters back away from the old guy and he prepared a handseal.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.

Note: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.

OOC: Shunshin isn’t a speed boost or burst of speed technique on its own, you need a distraction to use it properly, but I will let this ride.

The boy was quite impressive; it was as I thought he had been a Shinobi. He had shown great agility and reflexes to dodge my attack, albeit linear and straight forward. Though, once in the air, he opted to throw a kunai at me, switch due to my speed, wouldn’t even touch me. I was able to get a glimpse of it, and the spot that he would land in once he returned to the ground. I sped right under the kunai, and it would have missed by a long shot. 

By the time the boy would have landed, his abdominal area would have been met by a violent tackle. It was so fast, due to being only five meters away; that the boy wouldn’t even had been able to follow through with his plans to form a single seal. If successful, he would have tackled the boy into the ground, dragging him across the earth on his back—before throwing him back another ten meters, after I would have drug him across the ground ten meters from where he landed.
