A hasty knock on the door awakens a half naked woman, sweat beads running down her face. It's not hot in her bedroom, but she's still sweats as if it were a desert. A large apartment is the setting of our story, a penthouse, overlooking the entire village of Kumogakure. It's morning, around 8, but you could barely tell. In the village of the clouds, the name holds true, rain pouring and blocking out the sun. Before the woman can get herself right the banging gets louder and louder, she rises and covers herself with a pillow. Opening the door, a short pale skinned, blonde walks right in without asking. She's an attractive woman, but the half naked one is abit more beautiful. Juri Han's is the nude chick's name, and her hair was undone and messy, completely different from her usual ponytails.

"What?" Juri asks, wiping her eyes with her free hand. The blond woman, who's wearing this revealing dress sits down, and crosses her legs almost seductively. "Well good morning to you too Juri. We have a mission for you, get dressed." "You want some coffee or something? Tea? Milk?" Juri says, tossing the pillow next to the blond woman, now in full buff, walking to her kitchen. She starts her coffee maker and grabs a cold water bottle from the fridge, drinking some then pouring it over herself. "If you're trying to seduce your way out of this mission it won't work, we all know you're asexual." "I'm not asexual." Juri says with eyes that tell that she's tired of explaining her sexual preference. "Whatever, come on, I've been sent to get you." Juri goes into her bathroom to start the shower, she then sits next to the blond woman, still butt naked. "I'm training today, I'll do missions tomorrow." She says casually, folding her arms and legs. The blond sighs, rises and walks off, but not before saying "You know... you'll have to join ANBU eventually, you're not suitable for being a Jonin teacher, you're one of us." Juri shakes her head and closes the door.

-Flashback-

Very few people in life can say they've seen a creature of a divine nature, so of course when Hope makes her way through the streets of Konohagakure, people have to stop and stare. Could it be her fiery red hair? Could it be her glowing green eyes, with more dept that the ocean and more beautiful than an emerald? Or was it her pale skin and plump lips? Whatever it is, many are in awe of Hope's beauty. Her tight green jumpsuit, her scarf and of course the almost depressing, yet powerful look in her eyes, this girl was ready for whatever. Hope wasn't a well known ninja in Konoha, just "That Sarutahiko Girl". A loner, an outcast, people were either scared or disgusted of her. She rarely went on missions with others, but today Konoha felt maybe she needed help with this mission, though her powers have always proved them self at the end of the day.

The clear and sunny skies of Konoha brought the cheerful nature of the villagers out. Everything was peaceful, everyone was happy. It seems strange, considering every other village has been going through a lot lately. Maybe this village just has a stronger defense than the others, maybe the Gods give their favor to the Leaf, who knows. What can be said though, is that with Hope Sarutahiko around, things look a lot more graceful. Hope's team were to meet up at a small Ramen shop near the gates of konoha, they'd have to meet each other, tell each other a bit about their abilities and then head out. While the woman didn't really care about this mission, she did care about what her teammates would think of her. Risking one's life is hard enough, doing it with jerks would only make the tension worse.

-Present day-

In the shower the woman thinks deeply about her past missions and everything she's gone through. That's kinda what it means to be introverted... you think a lot about everything instead of facing the outside world. She scrubs her knuckles, calluses on her fist show how hard she trains, but her feet... one would think she's a hobbit. After the water is turned off she dries off, going into her closet to put on her training wardrobe. A black dobok, or Taekwondo uniform is places on, along with her wrapping her legs and hands. She grabs her coffee, another water bottle and a premade sandwich and places everything (except the coffee, which she holds) in a black bag and leaves her apartment, locking the door.

-Flashback-

The warm rays of the sun touch Hope's face, before a passing cloud comes and blocks the star from view. She walks into the little Ramen shop and sits down, waiting. A boy catches the attention of the Jounin, he appears to be a shinobi. Sorting out ninja from villagers is sorta easy, ninja usually have muscles of some sort, the equipment is a dead giveaway though. Though the Samurai outfit Geno wore said everything already. Hope would debate asking him if he was on this mission, slightly shy. When he ordered the chicken Ramen she decided that maybe a quick meal would be nice. "I'll have a bowl of Beef ramen please." she says also lifting her finger for service.

Another ninja looking fellow comes in, and seems to know Geno. Maybe these two were friends of some sort, they seem pretty relaxed, people she prefers to work with. "The name's Kynoki Etom." he says to the woman. So they were her partners, her mind wandered if she should speak or simply nod and begin to eat. She doesn't want to be rude, might as well say something. "Hey, I'm Hope..." she says politely nodding at the two of them before beginning to eat the meal she ordered. Beef ramen is severely underrated, it's easily the best tasting and comes with steak. The protein from this meal would help her in this mission, because Lord knows fighting rival ninja is no easy task. The woman didn't want to be awkward and silent, so she tried making conversation with the two. "So do you guys know each other?"

-Present day-

Juri's place of training today was actually a dojo for ninja. It had five levels, each floor for ninja skills. Floor one is for regular cardio, floor two was for Taijutsu, Floor three was for Kenjutsu and weapons, Floor four was for ninjutsu, easily being the most dangerous floor, Floor five was actually a buffet. Today Juri had a lot to train... first she had to train her Taijutsu, then work on her Medical Ninjutsu skills, then actually train an entire fucking element... then learn ninjutsu. Today was a busy day.

-Flashback-

The younger member of the team seemed to be the most guarded than the two, he really didn't want to interact much and gave short answers, but showed that the two men indeed knew each other. "Don't mind him, he seems to still be a little down about his last mission." Kynoki told the woman. Apparently Geno was captured by Kumo, it's a miracle he got home, the Cloud village were a especially strong band of shinobi, while Kiri and Suna were both in horrible conditions, Kumo was as strong as the Leaf. She admired his strength for those hard times. Kyonoki asked what her skills were, which Hope was glad to answer.

"I'm a master at Ninjutsu, able to wield Fire and a special Element called the Jishin release. I basically control the vibrations in all matter, able to heat or explode things at a whim. I'm also efficient in weapons including Kenjutsu," she says showing her katana, slightly hidden away by her cloak "and I'm just learning how to use Fuinjutsu, I need more practice in that area. I'm usually the person who destroys or elevates the battlefield in our favor, you know, demolition." Hope isn't necessarily proud of this, but she realizes her powers are mostly needed for teams. A perfect team would consist of a heavy attacker (Hope) someone to support the team (medic) and someone would could trap the enemy or outwit them. Looking at both Kynoki and Geno she can tell they both are weapon specialist as well, this actually makes her smile for a brief second. Three weapons users? They all must have insane eyesight, long ranged striking would be a piece of cake.

She doesn't finish her meal, but pays the owner and orders a bottle of water before leaving. "Well... our mission is to kill a group of special people who seem to have copied jutsu from Sunagakure. This includes puppets and wind-style techniques. They'll be in a small town a little outside of Konoha, an Inn town. I hope you two don't have any remorse in killing, otherwise you can stay here." She says speaking up and looking them in their eyes. Hope doesn't care for killing, but if it's her mission she'll do as she must to stay alive. "Any questions?"

-Present-

A light workout on the treadmill started her off, then a light weight lifting session, then a couple minutes of meditation for the mind. Yes... Juri Han meditates. Once she's done with these basics she heads towards the Taijutsu floor... Training begins now.

-Flashback-

Hope nods, acknowledging the other two men are ready to go on this quest of a mission. Killing a band of ninja for a B-rank seems insane, this should be at least A-ranked, but she has no complaints. Hope stretches a bit, cracks her neck and knuckles and begins to head towards the gates to start this mission off. She wonders her allies abilities, maybe she'll ask on the way to the small town, she can already tell they both are swordsmen though. She also hoped the two weren't as quiet and boring as she herself was. Three quiet people would be boring, though quietness = peace, so that might not be as bad as one would think.

By the time the three shinobi reached the small Inn town in the Fire Country, the day was almost over. It was about 5 o'clock, and since it's spring this meant there would be light covering the skies for another 3-4 hours or so. Something about sunsets made the woman feel warm inside, even though she's a "day" person, a sunset seems so majestic. Of course a sunrise is even more amazing, but we'll save that for another time. The town was far smaller than Konoha, but still managed to attract a lot of people. Apparently today was a festival, the towns people were celebrating one of the millions of Gods the Shinto religion has. The attire these people put on made Hope giggle a bit, but everyone has their own beliefs and we must respect that.

Getting to know her team was a priority, so Hope knew she had to break her silence and ask a question. "So..." she begins "I can somewhat tell you two are swordsmen, correct me if I'm wrong of course. What skills do you two bring?" the woman says looking at the two. A merchant selling specialized masks of the God they were celebrating, was handing out free mask to people. Hope grabbed one and would offer the other two to her teammates, then placing the one she received on top of her head.

These mask would be perfect for this mission, it'll hide their faces from the Shinobi they have to fight. Hope hears her teammate complain about finding the enemy, so smiles and replies. "Don't worry, my notes said they would be noticeable. They apparently have been bullying this town into their bidding. They own their own private little section of this village in the south area. The villagers don't approach, so we should be fine with going all out." Geno said he wanted to enjoy the festival, which Hope took as him opening up. Kynoki was apparently trained in weapons and taijutsu, which was obvious of course.

Hope leads her team away from the festival, into the enemy ninja's hideout, which was a large Inn that she assumed they had taken over and made their own. She smiles and looks at her teammates from behind her mask. Loud music emitted from the Inn, and for whatever reason they didn't have guards. "Well let's begin shall we."

-Present-

Juri Han stands in the middle of a circle with 10 men surrounding her, her eyes closed but a huge grin. "Come on now boys, don't be afraid of little ol me! I'm just a short girl, plus my eyes are closed, should I stand on one leg to make this more fair?!" she almost screams to these cowards who are afraid to strike. One guy finally rushes towards the woman with a punch, she blocks it, and knocks his hand away. The other men join in, all attacking from all sides, but she effectively counters each attack with her eyes closed, laughing and taunting them. Her technique is working perfectly, lowering the men's pride.

-Flashback-

From nowhere Geno gained life and energy, showing a pleased side that Hope had never seen from the boy. He must have really wanted to beat the living shit out of these jutsu bandits, because when he broke the door down, he already took out a few ninja. Of course the woman didn't want to leave the boy to have all the fun himself. Jutsu for Hope's release hardly required signs, so the woman only had to ram her fist together to activate her signature technique. She began levitating and her eyes began to glow, her hands emitting a red auru of flaming chakra. The enemies that didn't get hit by Geno's opening move began spamming wind techniques towards the group, which Hope laughed at and sent a shockwave towards, countering. This giant shockwave destroyed a section of the Inn, sending all the enemy in the radius of the technique through multiply walls, but those were the lucky ones. The ninja that were directly hit were shaken so violently, blood exploded from each hole in their body, then evaporated into a bloody mist. That was only the left hand...

Hope didn't want to over do it and kill everyone, Geno had stress to release. So the woman stood next to kynoki, with her right hand still glowing. If the boy needed either of them, she'd jump in and easily take out the rest. All together there had to be about 60 bandits, Hope only killed 5 and injured 15. A ninja comes from practically nowhere and begins forming signs for a wind technique to attack Hope and Kynoki. The woman kicks his hand into his chest, and sends him flying into the ceiling, still with one glowing hand. Her taijutsu skills were pretty grand. "You gonna jump in Kynoki?" she asks watching the rival ninjas closely.


With her two teammates now handling their business and sweeping up the rest of the bandits, Hope felt good about the work the three were doing. Her partners were very experienced and very strong, she didn't need to carry their weight. With one hand still glowing, the woman rushes towards two ninja preparing hand signs to sneak attack Geno. The smell of smoke and blood fill the air, the haze filling her eyes and lungs, she's still able to handle these two without using her jutsu. With just her bare hand, Hope punches one guy in the face, then uses his body as a shield to protect herself from the "Powerful wind wave" technique. She then rapidly moves to the right and kicks the man in his face, towards another enemy. The woman gets tired of all of the fighting and shouts to her allies. "Geno and Kynoki, I'm ending this now if you guys don't mind." With a powerful punch she splits the floor of the house, causing a giant rift to form. The entire house would begin to collapse in on itself, but using her speed, Hope would dash outside, holding out her hand to help the other two if need be.

The Inn is completely totaled, anyone in is crushed or slowly dying. Luckily Hope and her companions made it out okay, and completed this super easy mission. The night was officially here and people were filling the streets, taking notice of the Leaf ninja's conquest. Cheering and clapping ensued, these villagers finally were done with the terror known as the "Jutsu Bandits". Hope smiles and nods to her teammates, actually pleased about the fact that they had brought peace to these civilians. "Well... I guess it's time to head home." the woman says fixing the mask on her face, and walking through the cheering crowd home bound.

-Present-

Still using her Seikūken, the woman blocks everything these men can throw at her, finally she gets tired and begins to counter. Swift punches to each rib, followed by a kick lays out all 10 men. She hardly broke a sweat doing this, she actually sweated more from her nightmares than being awake and fighting these wimps. "Pfft... and you guys actually thought you could impress you way into my pants. Wimps."

-Flashback-

After completing her missions, Hope decided to get some relaxation in the small town. She made friends, stories and blah blah blah... but now it's time to return home. The walk wasn't long to the gates, she arrived and greeted the guard with a nod. The moment she returned one of the guards she knew from a while back came up to her and informed her about what she's missed out on. Her face changes from calm to slightly uncomfortable, but there's nothing she can do about the events that already occurred. The woman continues to walk home, this time not pleased.

-Present-

Hope, I mean Juri, began training her striking techniques now. Since she was trained in Taekwondo, her main focus were her fucking powerful ass legs. Yeah yeah punching and arm strength were important, but the true power comes from the legs, the muscles you use the absolute most. Standing your fat ass up for hours at a time is hard, anything hard equates to work and work equates to a huge payoff most of the time. In this case the payoff was Juri's striking force from her thunder thighs. She had enough force to bend steel with a single kick... if that ain't a payoff idk what is. A huge, sumo wrestling looking mother fucker approached Juri, covered in padding. He was apart of the training exercise, and he cost a shitload to hire. Any bones she broke on this man, any hospital bills he received from this training session would have to be paid for, so she had to be careful, but she didn't have to hold back.

Juri rushes towards the man and disappears with her sheer speed, onlookers watching the sparring session look confused, trying to find her, but this fat fuck knew exactly where she was, he was a Taijutsu master as well. She reappears on his right side and aims a powerful kick towards his face, the sumo guy ducks, but Juri smiles, this makes him uneasy. She uses the momentum of the kick to spin around and raises her same kicking leg into the arm, and slamming it down onto his head. The force of the attack would have killed him, or at least broke his neck if the man hadn't used a clone at the last second, even with all the padding he had on. Juri collects herself and begins to laugh, hugging the guy. "I'm so glad you were able to read my movements man, I didn't want to kill you! Let's move onto the stronger techniques though!" She says grinning, but he's out of breath, sweating hard, that last technique took a lot out of his. "That wasn't one of them?! That kick had to at least be A-Ranked!" He says trying to catch his breath. "Nahhhhh son, that was C-ranked, I'd teach it to you, but I think you're too fat." She says laughing afterwards, he smiles and gets into a ready stance. "Bring it Neon Bitch." He says smiling.

-Flashback-

Hope's day already started off shitty, doing this mission didn't help much. Her grandmother flipped the princess's entire bed over while she slept, at 5 in the morning into an ice cold bath tube. Well... she wasn't really her grandmother, but she was the closest thing to one the girl ever had... the closest thing other than her brother to a real family member. "WHY?!!!!!!" the girl asked her grandmother while jumping out of the bed. "You have a mission today, and I won't have a freeloading granddaughter in this house." Half-asleep and aggravated Hope throw a mini tantrum and asks "But... WHY?!" again but this time head butting her grandmother, who in turn, head butts her back. "Shut up and get moving, you little brat." Hope tries to swing, but her grandmother grabs her fist and throws her through a wall into their bathroom. "Kid, you've got another 10 years before you can beat me." Hope accepts she needs to do her mission, and begins to get ready. After a shower, quick meal and dressing up in her usual ninja attire, she head out towards the medical center.

The weather in Kumo today was cloudy and moist, a big thunderstorm had just occurred the day before. It was slightly windy and the air smelled of rain, but this was truly Hope's favorite weather condition. The young kunochi hadn't eaten, but she doesn't really like eating food that she doesn't make herself... she's picky. Luckily for her one of the restaurants she'll actually eat at happens to be right around the corner from the medical center. "I'll stop for rice balls before I do this fucking mission..." she says with a big sigh afterwards. Kasuga received this C-Ranked Mission to help out with the medical center, her being trained in Ijutsu should make this a piece of cake. The bitch was lazy and stuck up though, so she'd make it miserable for everyone at every chance she got. The tea shop near the medical center had two signature items, (other than the tea of course) their rice balls and their sake. Now usually Hope can seduce some foolish man into buying her both, but today she can't get boozed up. The princess finds the oldest, most lonely man she can and goes to work, fixing her boobs in place to look bigger. "Hi..." she says with a smile. "H-Hi!" the elder replies. "I'm Kasuga, and it seems I've misplaced my wallet... I'm reallyyyy hungry and going on a mission. Oh, listen to me going on about my life, who are you?" "I'm (NAME NOT IMPORTANT) and I can buy you some food honey!" the old man says and gives her a wink. 'Bingo' she says to herself in her mind.

The girl eats a large amount of food for a petite girl, so the bill the poor old man picked up was easily more than he brought only for himself. "Thanks hun, bye!" the little evil female said, whilst blowing a kiss on her way out. Once she hit the medical center she began looking for the head medical ninja so she could find out what she had to do. Although there weren't as many ninja as there were once Kumo was attacked, there we still a lot in the hospital. She kinda felt bad, but they weren't her so fuck it! Once she found the doctor, she was informed that at the moment they really just needed her help with changing bandages and administering medicine. She was fine with this, her grandmother taught her more than enough to actually help with some minor surgeries, but the less work the better. Her first patient's entire upper body was wrapped up, with the wounds turning into scabs. Ointment was applied for first the pain, then to help the scabs and finally she completely changed the wraps.

The princess continues to change bandages and applying ointment for another hour before she switches over to her other job of giving patients medicine. At first she simply hands elder patients their pills, then she has to actually give a few patients shots and put up IV drips. This goes on for about another 30 minutes before a doctor politely tells her the head medical ninja needs her. Once she arrives at the office the chief medical ninja says "You're doing a fine job, but it seems we've run out of the Tenchi mushroom. I'm sure you understand why this is a problem being such an adept medical ninjutsu user yourself." "Yeah..." Hope replies "But why call me in for this, I'm sure some other ninja who actually knows where they're located can bring them back." "Sadly most of our Ijutsu user ninja that are combat readied are either away or busy in surgery. We need you to do this." Hope sighs and nods. "Where are they located again?" The chief hands the girl the exact location on a map and the easiest route. "Be alert, bandits and wild animals lurk-" "Yeah, yeah... whatever." She then begins to read her map while heading out the medical center. This part of the mission wasn't really something she was ready for. Combat? Why? Being a doctor is easy, it's predictable, fighting random bandits and animals in the Alps of Thunder isn't Of course she enjoys battle, so apart of her is excited. The young Kunochi picks up garbage bags, so she can carry the mushrooms, at a local market before heading towards the Alps of Thunder. Once she reaches the gates, the guards stop and ask her where she's going "I'm on the way to the Alps of Thunder to pick up some mushrooms." They call in the Head Medic to confirm, once it is they nod and allow her to pass.

-Present-

The sumo wrestler is really in trouble now, on one knee tapping on as Juri stands over him, just cackling like an old hag. "HAAAAA, GUESS YOU COULDN'T HANG! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A SPECIAL JONIN, GUESS I SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR AN ACTUAL JONIN!" She screams, making everyone uneasy. Finally some buff, heroic looking dude approaches her, upset, fists tight. "ENOUGH! I will defeat you Juri Han for the honor of all Kumogakure men!" He yells, taking off his shirt, showing his muscles. "Calm down Son Goku... you start." She says, grinning and getting into her ready fighting stance.

-Flashback-

It's been a while since Hope's been able to leave the village, so she felt she should take some time to admire the beauty... then she remembered she really wanted to just complete this mission so she could get paid, and began dashing towards the Alps of Thunder. The Alps weren't that far from the village, they were a couple miles away, not more than 20 minutes while dashing. While she begins heading towards the Alps of Thunder, her stomach growls, keep in mind she just ate like 2 hours ago. "I should have ordered more food... now I'll be hungry on this stupid mission." After about 20 minutes she arrives at the Alps and reads the map, looking for where exactly the mushrooms are located. About 3 bandits come laughingly towards her talking to each other. One of them notices her and takes it upon himself to try being cool. "Hey there honey, you lost?"
he says holding a giant club. The bandits are all wearing ragged samurai gear, only the one talking is holding the club, the other two have chipped katanas. They smell like booze and filth, and have long raggedy hair with random bits of whatever in them. Hope is not impressed. "Get the fuck outta my face." she says not even looking at them. "What did you say, bitch?!" says the one with the giant club. She instantly looks towards the one that called her a bitch with this sharp, soul piercing glare. He fucked up.

The Kumogakure ninja sprung into action instantly by diving towards the group of three men with only her fist. The fist bandit swung his giant club, which she caught with her bare hand, disarmed his and then swung and hit him in the face with it. Most of his teeth shattered on impact, and his entire body flew back at least 10 yards. The other two charged in, but the ninja wasn't fucking around at all. Hope ducked under the first slash, and with the next slash she dropped completely towards the ground and rolled away from the oncoming attack. She then rose with a giant uppercut to one of the bandit's jaw, grabbed him before he flew away and used his body as a shield to guard against the other bandit's attack. She then haymakered the other one unconscious, and stomped on his chest once he was knocked out. "Is that really all?! You fuck-boys warmed me up!" She then laughed, picked up her garbage bags and began walking back up the Alps.

Climbing up the Alps of Thunder wasn't the hard part, the real difficulty was actually locating the mushrooms themselves. The mountain range was pretty high, and got cold instantly once Hope hit the halfway point. She was used to the cold, so her outfit's lack of warmth didn't affect her in the slightest. A snowstorm decided to appear like a wild pokemon, almost making Hope's map completely unreadable. Luckily she was able to memorize the directions at this point, so she just read her compass and continued on her path. "God hates me apparently... how rude." An eerie glow began to emit from a nearby cavern, signaling she had found her target. "Bingo." She entered the cave and saw this huge mushroom garden, untouched by the snow outside. The mushrooms filled the cave, growing everywhere; on the ceiling, on all walls, even under water from the caves pond. The mushrooms were grayish blue in color and about the size of apples. Hope had to be careful how she picked them though... if you cut the wrong part of the stem, the mushroom shrivels up and the chakra fades away. It took the girl about an hour to gather 40 pounds worth of mushrooms, loaded them into garbage bags and headed back down the Alps.

Once the princess had gotten down the Alps of Thunder, the entire bandit crew had been waiting for her. Their numbers were at about 25 strong, all looking mad and holding weapons. The boss was holding a spear and had a smirk on his dirty face, while his crew had chipped katanas. The bandit Hope had knocked in the face with his own club was being held up by two bandits with a swollen face, just looking mad at the girl. "Dats ha (her)!" he struggle to say, with blood gushing out of his mouth. "Oh... what's this, revenge? I'll give you all one warning... leave and I won't leave your mothers without a son." "Shut up you little whore, we'll avenge our brethren tod-" before the boss can even finish his sentence, the woman flickers in front of him and punches him in his solar plexus. The girl drops her bags for this punch, and puts half her strength into the blow. He becomes dead silent as he tries to catch his breath, but she then punches him in the throat and pushes him down, leaving him knocked out. The others charge in, but one by one she begins to tear them apart, by first disarming, and then using their own weapons against them. Only broke teeth bandit is left standing, well crawling, trying to escape. Hope simply steps over his body, grabs her bags and heads home. "Missions complete, not even fun." the girl then heads home with the 40 pounds of the mushrooms and slightly, bloodied fist.

-Present-

Still in her original fighting stance, the rival Jonin charges in, fist high in the air. He throws a punch with a shitload of force, but she dodges and counters with a swift kick. He blocks it, making her smile, because that kick had enough force to break a bone of a weaker ninja. This guy was unfazed, he was strong. She tosses another kick, which he dodges, and he throws another punch, which she parries. They both jump back and asses each other's strength. "You're a boxer." she says licking her lips. "And you use your feet primarily... this should be interesting." He says, cracking his neck. The crowd, which has formed, cheers. Mostly the crowd is full of men cheering on the boxer, Hibari was his name. A few women were cheering on Juri though, proud this village had such a powerful kunochi.

Juri charges, then disappears again, but with speed the man follows her and aims a punch towards her torso, while she's mid air. She parries by raising her knee and grabs her leg, then slams it down towards his skull. Hibari blocks it with his arm, reducing the force, but the girl uses her other leg to send another powerful kick right into his arm, which breaks it. The man jumps back, screaming in pain that his right arm is broken, already bruising with the vertebrate popping out, looking just fucking gross.

"Damn you, you fucking bitch I'll fucking kill you!" "It's NEON BITCH to you, you fucking cock! AHHHAAA!" She screams, holding her stomach and laughing. Before he can walk off to wrap his arm, the girl jets right towards him at full force and begins to demolish him. A series of cartwheel, launches her into the man, her entire body glowing purple. He receives each kick with a large amount of force, sending him flying into the air. She jumps to follow him, and begins her final barrage, about 100 swift and damn near invisible kicks aimed at every open part on his body (which was every part of his body basically). He receives each hit and slams into the ground, with damn near every bone in his body broken. Juri lands and catches her breath. "You're lucky I held back." She says smiling, Hibari would live, but his days as a ninja were probably done. "Don't worry, I'm a medic, I'll heal you." She says, walking over to the man and beginning to actually heal this dude. Once the actual medics come, she already mended most of his broken bones, but he still had torn muscles. The medics were impressed by her skills, knowing she was probably better than them. "Anyone else?" She asks, but the crowd disperses, afraid of the Neon fucking Bitch.

After a quick shower (she's a woman, they take a lot of showers) Juri Han heads up to the fifth floor to grab a quick bite to eat, she was hungry after kicking all that ass. She sits down and is quickly surrounded by a few of her training buddies, people that actually like her and she actually likes. That little homemade sandwich didn't do the trick, she needed more to fill her up. So she buys a ham sub, some cheesy chips and a strawberry pop (soda), gulps that down and sits around for a few minutes for a light conversation with her friends. "So Juri, I caught the end of that fight with whats-his-face... that was intense." One of her female friends say "Ah yeah, he was tough at first, but fell off when push came to shove, just like every other wimp I encounter." she says, the sipping her pop. "You know he's known as the Raikage's favorite Taijutsu user, I hope you don't get a bad wrap over that. The Raikage is known to be a protective "father figure" and you're still kinda an outsider." One of her male friends says. "Ehh... I'm not scared, I need to kill the Raikage anyways." She says with cold eyes, her friends sit there in silence, staring at her. "I'm joking guys, ease up!" the woman says laughing, causing her friends to follow. After a few more minutes of conversating she waves and heads towards the ninjutsu training floor.

Since Juri had no idea how use elemental jutsu, she had to hire two Special Jounin to help with the task. They were cheaper than the Jounin, but this would prove to be more of a challenge, since she's never done this and wasn't even an advent Ninjutsu user. Sayuri was the girl, she was a short pale girl, very cute and kinda shy. Jordan was about 5'9" and a black dude, he was kind looking and also nervous to be around Juri. They both were 17 and appeared to be on the same team, Juri shook hands with them and tried to ease the tension, they looked overly nervous. "Don't worry guys I don't bite, that display downstairs only happens to my opponents, you guys are my friends." She says smiling, even though it was a fake smile it made the two feel more at ease. "Oh, okay! Well let's start then!" Sayuri says. "Basically this test will determine you element, it's called the paper test." Jordan says, giving a small piece of paper to Juri. "Focus your chakra into it." Juri does so, and the paper turns into dirt and crumples away. "Uhhh, what happened?" Juri asks, confused. "This means you're an earth user!" Sayuri says jumping up and down, "This is awesome, so am I!" "Ugh..." Juri moans "Damn near every ninja in this fucking village uses Lightning... if I use Earth I'm fucked." The two teachers giggle, Juri frowns. "This isn't funny, I'm too exposed." They stop, and Jordan pats Juri on the back, ballsy, but his courage was noticed by Juri. "You can learn another element, but this one will be the easiest at the moment." He says. Juri shrugs. "Eh... let's just start this shit..." After an hour of training Juri basically gets everything down and gains the ability to use Earth based jutsu. Her trainers bow and congratulate her. She bows back and heads towards the spa part on the first floor.

-Flashback-

Today wasn't really a magnificent day like Ookami is accustomed to. It was somewhat of a heat wave, and sadly the Special Jounin had to travel through the desert to another country. If that wasn't enough, the reason for traveling to another country was an A-ranked mission that he had to take on ALONE. What if he has to fight?! Ookami was 'pose to be on vacation, he doesn't feel like killing anyone anytime soon! He sighs as he begins to walk through the Suna gates with a small bag on his back... this is gonna be a long mission.


-Present-

Ookami was Juri's best friend, he was truly a great ninja, why he invaded her thoughts at this moment remained a mystery, but the woman had to keep focused on her task. After her relaxing sauna/muscle massage/hot tub soak, the woman was ready to start her Medical Ninjutsu training. It was simple really, she was only adept, but she had to at least become a master. Easily said then done when I think about it. She gets dressed and heads to a small, closed off area of the dojo's ninjutsu floor. It's actually an infirmary, with actual injured people laying in beds, with medics preforming healing jutsu on them. Juri had the healing other's part down, but healing herself would be a task. Thus why she hired a Jonin medic to teach her... yes... her pockets are fat enough that she can afford all these teachers.

-Flashback-

In order to preserve his liquids and energy, the young Special Jounin decides it would be best to uber-power walk through the desert, instead of running and just sweating a lot. It saves a lot of water, but it's incredibly stupid looking. Of course he's out here in the desert by himself, save a few animals of course. He checks his map to make sure he's going in the right direction, the Land of Rivers. Once Ookami realizes he's on the right course he takes a sip of water from a large water bottle, and continues on.

-Present-

The Jounin teacher was a chain smoking redhead with bags under her eyes, currently smoking a vapor pen, as to not upset the lungs of the patients. "Are ya ready." She says harshly and tiredly to Juri, who already likes her. "Yeah, let's go." Pulling out a knife, the chain smoking jounin cuts herself on the right exposed arm. After a few handseals, her entire body glows a light green hue, and after a few seconds the cut completely heals up, leaving behind only a scar. Juri raises an eyebrow, knowing she'd find a way to even heal the scar once she mastered this technique.

-Flashback-

The mission of a lifetime finally begins... something that actually isn't that important, but could get him (Ookami) in trouble. The objective was to gain information on Kirigakure and not get caught. This was easy for a shinobi of his caliber, but kiri might be a little jumpy. Of course he has a cover and everything all set up. Papers saying he's a contractor from Sunagakure were created along with a couple others in order to support his cover. He transforms into a middle aged man with a handlebar mustache and continues towards kiri.

"Well howdy hey there partner, my name is Bob Truman, and I'm here to help you guys out. I'm an Architect from Suna, they sent me over to help you guys out so our villages can possibly come together as allies." A middle aged white guy with a handlebar mustache and a balding head shows up at the Kiri gates holding papers in his hand and a backpack which he shows is full of papers and scrolls for writing up blueprints. Bob seemed like a good guy, but in reality he was a splendid ninja by the name of Ookami in disguise. His mission was simple, to scout out Kirigakure for Suna, and report back to his village. Of course the village was a bit more alert, because only a few minutes ago some fool just went beast mode and broke into the village, but the guards were too busy to check on his papers more and blah blah blah. This idiot that attacked the guards were fucking up Ookami's plans... he may have to die.

First the genius ninja checks into a nearby hotel, just to give the appearance he's actually here to build buildings and shit. The man actually pays the village he's planning on betraying, not feeling good about the whole situation. Gaining Intel on villages could lead towards war, kiri was already damaged, he doesn't want them to lose anymore members. Not that he cares about Kiri, he just doesn't care for pointless deaths. After that he stops at a nearby restaurant to pick up some food, the man was so hungry after days of traveling through desert and across seas with little to eat. A little break would be good for now, just to relax his body and mind. As Bob he strikes up little conversations with people while eating a hamburger. He asks the villagers about the attack, and how kiri was holding up, all while taking mental notes that goes towards his mission. After the meal Bo- er, Ookami, walks around checking out the village and writing notes.

Bob, the ruse Ookami had taken for this simple scouting mission, seemed to attract some unwanted attention. Although his disguise was flawless, the young man forgot that ninja are reckless beings that are determined to find their worth through killing, especially in the "Blood Mist". After his meal the Suna ninja noticed some random dude trailing him, which forced him to wake up and realize he may have to fight. This ninja must not care about the villagers much, because there was already another attack going on, and he decided to trail Bob instead of deal with the other guy. Along with the fact that the two were in a somewhat crowded area, with plenty of workers and volunteers around rebuilding. The thick mist hindered some of Ookami's sight, but his ears were more than perfect. He could hear the fluctuation of this man's heartbeat as he tracked who he should assume is Bob, the Suna architect.

Bob-san thank you for coming to help Kirigakure in rebuilding our destroyed village... Weird we never sent for help to any village." This man began forming hand seals whilst talking to Ookami, the jig was up, he would attack no matter what. Now the Suna ninja had two options: 1. Lie like a mother fucker and pray this fool doesn't actually attack him. 2. Kill him and continue on with his mission. While he'd prefer option 1 the harsh reality was that this guy attacked Bob with no evidence that he was a ninja or spy or anything other than what he said he was. This means the man is just a paranoid mess and wants to attack whomever he feels like whenever. Option 2 seemed like the best answer, BUT Bob still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

The mist thinned itself a bit and Bob turned to face his attacker, leaving himself completely open, his guard down. Civilians faced both Bob and Shika as this situation unfolded. "Eh? What in the world are you talking about buddy? Suna sent help to establish a diplomatic friendship." The shadow jutsu overtook Bob and in his eyes you could see fear, which wasn't much of a ruse, Ookami allowed a random man to capture him in a jutsu, he didn't know what would happen next. Everything from here on would be left to God. "Wh-what are you doing?! HELP!!!! HELLLPPP!!!!!!" Bob scream as villagers and ninja alike rushed to see the what was going on. Some villagers rush to get help, as all they saw was Shika attacking a random middle aged man, who was scared for his life. A few Kirigakure ninja spoke up against Shikajou saying things like "What are you doing?!" "He's here to help!" "Are you insane?!" It seems the villagers were more on Bobs side than Shika, if this man were to proceed with an attack, then who's to say these villagers won't rush Shikajou and subdue him. "P-please guy, I have a wife and three kids, I don't want to die today!" Bob says, attracting more villagers with his wonderful performance.

This guy was slightly delusional, he assumed because he was originally from Suna that he knew every single member, what he didn't know was the fact that Bob was indeed a real person. You see, since this was such a top secret mission, Ookami had to take on a real identity to fool any architects that were sent ahead of him. Shika was also confused and his story didn't make sense. "I never said Kiri sent me, I've said multiply times that Suna sent me here to forge a diplomatic bond! Please man let me go, I just want to get my job done, I don't make much money and my son little Timmy is really sick!" the crowd gets more and more restless.

One kiri ninja looks at Shika funny and approaches him saying "So you aren't from Kiri and you're attacking someone? Why should we trust you? He has proof that he's from Suna and an architect. Stop this at once or else!" the random Kiri ninja says pushing Shikajou, the force should break this said jutsu. Even if he missed, Shika would be forced to act, allowing the crowd to pick up Bob and try helping him up. The shadow possession jutsu can't be completed if one can't lock his hand seals in position, and with this Kiri ninja challenging Shika, would he really want to not only be looked at as a bad guy, but looked at as a weakling? Once that hand seal was broken, Ookami would run away, with his "friends" standing in Shikajou's way. The crowd was undoubtedly on Bob's side.

Coming to Kirigakure with a disguise wasn't a bright idea, the smartest thing would have simply been to sneak around, instead of coming right in. Trusting that the Mist would be civil was a miscalculation, so in actuality, Ookami's mission was successful. Now he has another matter at hand with this crazed ninja. The shinobi has no proof that Ookami was a foreign ninja, no proof he was anything other than he said he was, the shinobi literally was attacking a random bystander, who happens to be foreign. In the eyes of diplomacy, Kiri ninja weren't to be trusted. With the shadow jutsu thingy locked in place, Ookami could feel as his fingers were pulled back and snapped. As Bob he'd want to yell, but out of pure anger Ookami was in control, and his coldness was felt. He bit down on mouth embers and spit them both into the air, lighting the area up so bright his shadow was cancelled. This happens once Shika turns to face this other ninja. His disguise still held up though, for pain can't cancel this technique, it isn't a Genjutsu. With this shika's plans for an attack were cancelled. Using the brightness of the mouth ember as a distraction he forms a hand seal and his tattoo begins to glow, with furious speeds he disappears from sight. Heading towards the gates, hiding in the thick mist. The crowd was confused over what had just happened, since Ookami basically "teleported" away. Ookami wasn't even mad at Shikajou, obviously he was a little disturbed by the attack earlier and felt it was his duty to stand up for his mission. With that being said, Shikajou still broke Ookami's fingers, leaving his fingers. He couldn't let this slide.

Eh? Ookami was in trouble. Allowing himself to be captured seemed to be a bad idea, but he didn't really care. The mouth embers he spit into the air didn't work for whatever reason, possibly another jutsu. Now it seems like he's breathing fire, making the crowd get confused. Ookami allows this Bob disguise to take over again "The fire was to be used encase a crazy ninja tried killing me, my boss a guy named John gave them to any architect that has to travel to a foreign ninja country. I can't bring myself to die though, for I have children to take care of!" he says almost proud. Ookami was getting irritated though, whatever this man decided to do, whether it be break more bones or kill him, he'd just wish the man would stop being a punk and get it over with.

2112 words ((Medical Ninjutsu done))

Remembering Ookami wasn't fun for her, this kept messing with her mind during her Ijutsu training, but she finally got through it and was able to completely master her training, becoming a full fledged Medical Ninja. This last part would be kinda easier, but not really. Now she had to learn actual Ninjutsu. She knew the basics, but she was going to become an Adept in Ninjutsu, which was going to be a challenge, but was something she could pull off. Too bad for her, the day was over. Juri grabs her stuff and heads out, paying the enormous fucking bill, knowing another big bill would follow tomorrow. Once she arrives home she takes another shower (that's three in all today folks), eats a light meal and goes right to bed, but once again her dreams haunt her, this time, of a mission that almost ended her life.

-Dream-

After an irritating amount of time Hope of Kumogakure finally makes it to the Land of Rivers. Her squad mates are somewhere close (presumably) and she herself is just ready to finish this damn mission. While separated from her teammates, she isn't alone. The girl is accompanied by an old man by the name of Gendo-san, who's the one rowing the small boat the two are in, well, three if you count gendo-san's dog. The three were looking for a place to dock without causing any suspicion to anyone, this mission Hope was on happened to be A-ranked. All the girl knew was she had to "aide our Sunagakure allies by sending reinforcements to deal with a supposed problem and threat in The Land of Rivers." what the hell ever that meant. Not much was known about the problem, but she did know she had to aid the Sunagakure shinobi and wait until her Kage arrived.

"Gendo-san I really have no clue what I'm suppose to do here. I mean... all I was told to do was arrive basically, and my team is split up with me and I just- I don't know. This is my first A-Ranked mission and already I might fail! I need the money, I've got shit to buy!" She says irritated but in a low voice and tone. Gendo turns slightly and begins to respond "Well Hope-chan... you're a wise person from what I've been seeing. I'm sure you can come up with something and complete this mission. And if you fail it's fine, you live another day! Me and Shiji here will still think kind of you pass or fail, right shiji?" the old dog lays his head on the girl and drifts off to sleep. The girl smiles softly over this show of compassion from a man she just met. People in her life were usually mean, but ever sense she became a Chuunin she began seeing the kindness in people's hearts and that not everyone wanted to use her for something or betray her.

Once the dock was found the girl hopped out and motioned for Gendo-san to stay quiet and still. She then placed her hand on the ground and began to listen. The only sounds heard were the sounds of the night, so it seemed clear. She then motioned for Gendo and shiji to follow, the coast was clear. Gendo lived close by, but he had been out of the land for a few months, checking in on his relatives. Hope met him while she was lost and told him she needed to get to the Land of Rivers. Since her mission was to help with a "threat" it could be guessed that they had to be really quiet and sneak around and not be spotted at all. She could do this easily, she was Chuunin... but her companion and his old dog might not be able to move as silently and quick as she could. The girl simply stayed about 10 meters behind her friend as he headed towards his home. She would constantly be scanning the area to make sure no one was following.

Gendo-san's home was along the docks, but before they could bring his boat they had to make sure no one had decided to "crash" there. Once they arrived Hope walked into the small shack and found no one was there or had stayed there while Gendo left. "It's clear... nobody has been here since you left. I'll go get the boat, you stay here and hidden until I get back." She says while turning to walk away. Gendo nods and begins to gather firewood from the side of his shack so he can cook. Hope begins heading towards the docks where the boat was, completely silent and moving fast.

Well on her way towards the boat she first arrived with, she noticed a sound. Slow footsteps fastly approaching her direction. She instantly drew a single senbon and placed her back against the waters, ready to defend herself from any threat. What she saw instead was an injured spider looking woman with six eyes, obviously injured badly. "Help." she whispered and collapsed. "Fuck!" Hope screamed and rushed over to help the woman. Two handsigns were formed and healing chakra emitted from the young girl's palms over the woman's almost tattered body. "Just stay calm, I'm a medic of Kumogakure. My name is Hope, tell me exactly what happened." she says soft and calmly to the injured stranger. What in the world could have happened to her? Was this from the supposed "threat" that she'd been dispatched to solve?

Hope felt a little conflicted about helping this stranger, she knew absolutely nothing of this person other than she had six eyes and was a shinobi who's team was intercepted. She spoke of a take over... things began to click now. The woman was sent here to help stop a takeover of The Land of Rivers, but she arrived too late. Her mission wasn't over yet though, she simply had to arrive and "help Suna". If this ninja here was Suna then, well, she helped. But something in the air didn't quite feel right, she felt as if with this woman, an evil was following. She continued to heal the woman's body as Gendo-san comes to check in on things. Hope directs him to get water and she begins to carry Joro into the hut, where she lays the injured ninja on a mattress and continues her healing.

"Sunagakure was sent here to a stop an Uchiha boy from taking over this country's capital. I quickly discovered he was from Konoha, and we calculated a good plan to take him down. However, we were intercepted by some missing-ninja which was somehow not foreseen by my sensory techniques. In my struggle to defend them, my squad was eliminated. In my struggle I had no time to think about who these Ninja were or why there were attacking, but I have identified them through deduction as a forgotten gang. The Akatsuki." At that exact moment Hope's heart dropped, her mouth went dry and the spit in her mouth she tried to swallow became a lump. Akatsuki? The same Akatsuki that the legendary Uzumaki Naruto fought off? Why would they be returning? What are their motives? Her fath- Riku told her tales of the Akatsuki, but they were children bedtime stories to scare her into becoming a strong shinobi. If they were returning this world cause trouble.

"Thank you. Again. Perhaps, when you rendez-vous with your squad, it would be wise to head to Sunagakure. Perhaps, you could come with me. Regardless, the Kazekage will need to know of my failure and I will explain in full detail. Your being there will assure the Raikage be informed in great detail of the Akatsuki's return." and just like that the strange woman left, hardly done with Hope's healing session but it seems she could handle herself. The young Chuunin was just irritated she didn't get a reward for helping this woman... maybe she should have charged her beforehand. Anyways Gendo-san was still cooking, but before Hope could sample the food it seems another pair of footsteps were heard. This time a colorful Kumogakure ninja she'd saw around a few times. He didn't recognize her, either because her change of outfit or the night. He asked who she was and where she was from, even though her headband was clearly in sight, which confirmed he couldn't see much.

-Awaken-

"FUCK!" Juri screams as she wakes up in a cold sweat, again, this time trying to shut out that bad memory. Fuck the dojo, she'd train herself. It was about 4 in the morning when Juri left out, heading towards the mountains to finish her training. With nothing but a water bottle and her training outfit, the woman was determined to finish this once and for all. She flashed he Jounin badge and left her village, making it to the training mountains in about 5 minutes. After about 10 minutes of climbing, she makes it to this little lowkey cave, where glowing plants glowed bright enough for her to read the "Dummies Guide to Ninjutsu". She studies the book for about 10 minutes before starting her training. Hand seals were weird; like... you have to create hand seals before you can use a jutsu. Being a Taijutsu expert she was used to just going ahead and using jutsu, why the fuck did she have to waste all this time? "Ugh." she groans, trying to form the correct seals. It was a good thing she had a photographic memory, otherwise she'd probably forget the 12 fucking basic seals, along with the other complicated seals you have to remember. Her stupid clan never taught her the basics of ninjutsu, you had to stick to your skill. Hers being Taijutsu means she had to stick to kicking trees for hours at a time. After a few minutes of doing the basic hand seal for the body flicker, she finally was able to pull of the jutsu, though she realized how useless it was since she could move the same distance with no hand seal. "Wow, what a waste of time learning this. I'm stupid." She tells herself almost angry.

The next part was elemental ninjutsu, with her element being earth. After a few hand seals she was able to create a small boulder, but the jutsu she was using should have created a large boulder, this pissed her off, so she kicked the rock into the dark parts of the cave. A giant bear is hit and jumps out, charging at her. Her first instinct is to punch the fucker in the gut, but instead she uses this moment to create a giant boulder, she finally got the jutsu right! She then kicks the giant boulder into the bears face and beats the shit out of it. Once it's dead she rips off it's pelt and packs it in her bag, the woman is done here... finally. Juri packs her stuff and heads home, with the sun finally shining through the clouds. "Noice." She says, smiling.

It was cold and snowing in Kumogakure. The skies were cloudy (as per usual) and the ice crystals kept falling. You couldn't tell it was snowing by looking at the streets though, the Kumo genin kept shoveling the streets everytime about an inch of snow built up. You see, the new Raikage believed the youth of today were getting fat and lazy, and wanted to keep them on their feet for the upcoming Chuunin exams. Kumo had been left in a weakened state ever since the last Raikage had been in charge, everyone was spoiled because he felt "love" and "compassion" would solve all the problems. Juri didn't believe that was the approriate way to control an entire village. Juri felt fear and respect would work, and so far she was right. Before the Neon Bitch took over, drugs and petty crime began taking over. So during her first day in office she and the ANBU raided all drug labs and trap houses in the village and left NO surviors. This meant all junkies, dealers and anyone assiciated with them were executed. Of course people opposed her "tough" rule, but she let it be known as kind as she could that anyone that objects her rule will be deemed as an enemy of the state, and met with "extreme force" by the Raikage herself. At the moment this crazy chick was knocked out in her her mansion, dreaming about Jin, her first love. She had been dreaming a lot recently about her past... as if it had something to say to her.
-Dream-

With nothing more than a backpack, a katana, his ninja pouch and the clothes on his back the young Jounin known as Jin Jotetsu continues to travel onward. Not many have the spirit to completely uproot themselves and start anew in another place, not knowing anyone at all... but Jin has the spirit for such actions. He's a peaceful man, and a kind individual, but his honor forces him to make hard choices in order to succeed. As Jin walks through this area known as "The Bad Lands" he remains on guard, constantly ready for one of these barbaric bandits that like to try robbing people for their loot. ONWARD

-Awake-

An ANBU guard knocks on the door, waking Juri up. She rises, breast showing, looking at the man. He notices the naked woman and drops to his knees, begging for forgiveness. "LADY HAN I'M SORRY! You told me to wake you at 8 AM, I didn't kn-" "It's find Zan, I'm always naked when I sleep, get used to it." Pulling the sheets off her body, the man continues to look as she gets out of her bed, fully naked. Juri puts her hands on her hips and gives Zin, the ANBU guard the meanest look. "I said get used to seeing me naked, not fucking stare at my naked body." "OH IM SORRY!" he screams and rushes out the room. Juri giggles and heads towards the shower. A sinister voice begins to cloud her mind as she begins to wash up. "Training eh? This will not impress me girl. Destroying an entire village or an entire clan might, but training? HA!" Juri ignores him and continues washing up. "Ignoring me will not silence me, we're together for a longggg time now." Son Goku had been trying to get under Juri's skin for a while now, but unforunate for him, Juri Han had layers, and underneat it all was another person, a bit more insane than she could ever hope to be.

After the shower, a fresh outfit was laid out on her bed, ironed and pressed. Juri dressed so she wouldn't make anyone feel uncomfortable, even though she felt weird being fully dressed in her own home, guess thems the side effects of living here. Downstairs was a huge breakfast with all assortment of foods. Eggs, bacon, toast, sasauge, cheesey grits and orange juice, freshly squeezed. After gulping it down the woman puts on her Raikage hat and cloak, then heads out with her two ANBU guards: Zan and Zing.

-Daydream-

For too long the crimes of a certain clan have plagued Iwagakure, it's members and the clansmen themselves. To any member of this certain clan, simply remaining in Iwa is a constant reminder of the chains that continuously oppress them, all but the higher ranking members of the clan of course. One person tried to abolish the oppression, but that only led to fear of change and civil war. Finally enough was enough, and this symbol of freedom felt broken, not being able to take anymore. Jin Jotetsu was his name, and the magnet element of the Jotetsu was his clan. Once he rose in power he took control of the clan that mistreated him for years, though nothing changed, the upper classes bastards simply ignored all of his orders. He fought verbally and physically for months to change things, but in the end even the lower classes did not accept him, for fear of the upper classed members and their hold. Enough was Enough, he had to leave. Start over and establish his clan in a new village, like a Queen Bee leaving her hive to start anew, though no working bees were following. Of course he wished his parents goodbye, his siblings and a few friends, but other than this few no one else knew of his leaving, and the people that knew wouldn't talk about his escape. At the gates the Jounin shows the guardsmen a scroll regarding a mission he had "registered" for. Goodbye Iwa, you lifeless bitch.

As the sky continued to curse the earth with rain, the young Jounin continued to trek through the warm water droplets. Many things on his mind, but his body always on alert mode like guards in Metal Gear once they spot Snake. It would seem as if the man hovered above the mud, his gymshoes were only slightly affected, thanks to his basic ninja training. An umbrella rested in Jin's hand, opened and blocking his face and mid from the rain. Maybe it wasn't the smartest idea to leave at this time, but then again who would follow him? Of course sometimes jumping to conclusions creates unforeseen events...

In the streets people waved at the Raikage, something Juri wasn't quite used to yet. Most would whisper to each other about her, but try to do in when she wasn't looking, but she could hear them. They were talking shit, afraid that their laziness would have to end, which was true. Juri ignored them, too deep in thought about Jin and her training. Being Raikage doesn't mean "lol kay that's it, you're the strongest ninja ever automatically" it means "you have to work twice as hard not to get killed now" so the woman had to polish off her skills. Today's agenda was Taijutsu, Ijutsu and Ninjutsu... she would leave taming the beast for another day. Instead of the dojo she trained at before, this time the Raikage had a secret training ground, one created especially for any Raikage. It was hidden away in a cave on one of the many mountains. Juri gets into a horse-drawn carriage and allows her ANBU guards to escort her away. It would take the trio 3 hours to arrive, giving Juri enough time to read over the scrolls that the previous Raikage left to help her master her Ninjutsu.

"We're here Lady Han." Zing says opening up the carriage's right side door. Juri steps out and takes off her Kage hat and jacket, leaving it in the carriage. Trees surround the area, with the carriage on an inclined surface. Inside the cave was darkness for what seemed to go on for miles, forcing the trio to walk for about 20 minutes before they arrived at the desired location. A huge hole above the cave let in light from the sky, revealing a lush field with flowers and a pond. Inside the cave was warm, resting at about 70 degrees F. This dome like area was vast, being about 5 miles in size. Juri smiled, "So this is where my previous predicessors honed their skills? Nice... I like it here." Zin took her bag and handed her a water bottle. She began to stretch and noticed a cabin about 30 meters away from the group. Inside was beautiful, looking as if whoever built this place wanted the Raikage to be as comfortable as possible. A giant TV rested on the wall, along with a DVD player and the newest video game system. Juri's eyes widened, she was a lowkey geek. "OOOH WHO PUT THIS HERE?! Zan I bet it was you, how am I suppose to train with this fucking Gamestation 4?!" she says playfully punching her ANBU guard on the arm. He smiles beneath the mask "Sorry Lady Han, our instructions were to deck this place out with things you may like." "Check the fridge Lady Han" Zang says. Inside were like 10 buckets of ice cream, all different flavors. Juri's literally begins bouncing up and down and making girly noises. Quickly she regains her composure and makes her face blank and emotionless. "You two saw nothing." She says walking out swiftly, her ANBU guards look at each other trying not to laugh outloud.

-Flashback-
'SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!' Jin heard distant footsteps, they weren't close but they were incoming. He had already began to leave the village, could whomever was behind these footsteps after him? Maybe another ninja had begun a mission and wanted to walk with him? Once the man catches sight of this person who had stood in front of the gates, he noticed that it was some random ninja. A brown skinned boy around his height, headband on head was about 50 meters away from him and screamed "Jin-Sama! What’re you doing out in this horrid weather?!"
Who the hell was this kid? He looked grown, but not yet an adult. He had a yellow coat, so maybe he was planning on going somewhere today. Jin was still feeling this dude was suspect right now though. While the Jounin was known around the village, he always kinda kept to himself and didn't really talk to people he didn't know, so someone approaching him made him uneasy. So what was the gameplan? Can't attack a random person, but he really had to get away from this village, the same village that brought so much pain. 'I'll just shoo him off.' He thinks to himself. While the kid was talking though, Jin had still be trekking along, closing the distance between the two. Once the Jounin had been about 10 feet away from the kid he'd open his mouth and speak loud enough for him to hear, but in a soft tone.

-Present-

"Okay so first I'll start with Taijutsu. I'll need about 100 clones, Zan get to it. Zing, I'll need you to come at me with extreme force, aim to injure me, don't hold back." Each ANBU guard nods and does as asked. Zan creates 100 shadow clones that charge at the woman, while Zing hides in the crowd looking for an opening. Right now the trio (and the clones) were about a mile away from the cabin, in an open plain. Juri cracks her neck and fingers, then stares at the clones as they try to cut her with the kunai in their hands. Swift hand movements from the woman begins to block each attack, even though she's completely surrounded. What a perfect Seikuken. One who isn't trained in Kenjutsu or Taijutsu would see Juri's hands as over 100 different hands all moving at the same time, blocking each attack. Zing reappears from the crowd of clone and tries to strike Juri in what he perceived was an opening, her left leg. She gets wind of this swiftly, and drops to her knees in order to counter his strike, while still blocking each attack. A smile is cracked on her face, while her ANBU guard and the clones all look shocked that she was able to counter that. "Is that it?!" Juri screams. "My turn." Instead of simply blocking each attack, the woman now adds a swift palm or elbow to follow, this is after she kicks Zing in the face though. Lucky for him, she held back A LOT, only slightly cracking his mask, leaving him woozy. After about 5 mins only 10 clones remain left, so Zan tells them to back off and come up with another plan of attack. "Good idea." says the Raikage laughing.
-Daydream-
"I'm going on a mission, uhhhh, sorry I don't know your name. I'm actually heading out on an important mission, you can follow me to the gates if you like but I really must be on my way now kid. See ya." Jin says while still walking and eventually passing the boy. The Jounin really had to be on his way you see, so small talk wasn't what he wanted to do at this moment. This should be so surprising that a higher ranked officer was shunning off a lower ranked shinobi to do his mission, this kid was basically preventing him from doing his job. And since the papers the man had said S-Ranked, this had to be completed with haste. While still paying close attention to his surroundings the Jounin kept his ears open and his eyes ahead of him on the gates, watching the guards that were looking at the Jounin and this kid. If the kid tried anything foolish the guards would reactive immediately, letting Jin know to protect himself. These guards were always on alert mode apparently, just like Jin's senses. Even if the kid would speak the man would continue his trek towards the gate, ignoring basically anything he said, unless he hinted that the boy was on some bullshit, then he'd react. Once at the gates Jin would show the guards his documents and continue on his way through the gates and off to another land, but again, he was always on alert mode in case anything changed.

This kid was fucking weird man... Jin continued walking all calm and shit, and the kid just kept annoying him. The Joutetsu leader totes ignored him but that wasn't enough. The distance between the two was like... 5 meters apart, the Aburame kid standing to Jin's right and about 2 meters behind him. Apparently Jin had angered the boy because his breathing and heart rate increased as if he was going into a blind rage. All of a sudden, the Aburame kid began to pound his own head, which was weird as hell, but whatever. Jin just made sure the kid didn't like freak out and attack him, and would block anything he could try to muster with relative ease... but footsteps approaching made him change his focus. The pair were still inside the gates, about 5 meters away from the guards. The flashing of the mission info and stuff was already over and if not for the newcomer, Jin would have continued his stride.

It appeared that Jin's great escape had come to a halt. Beyond the magnificent gates a figure appeared, one that brought displeasure to the young jounin's usually calm self, though by the way Jin kept his composure you couldn't tell he was upset. His breathing and pulse were calm, movements steady, he was normal whilst looking at this new coming. It was none other than the Tsuchikage himself, about 10 meters ahead of Jin and the kid. A young man by the name of Hideaki Shira, one of the last members of the Hideaki Clan. The young Joutetsu leader knew much about him, but never really had the time to become close with that guy. That's not saying they weren't on a first name basis... the pair were just not besties. Now the million dollar question... should Jin fight the Kage, this little kid and all the guards at the gate? Or should he just go home and leave another day? The choice actually was kinda hard, he was so adamant about leaving, but he didn't want to cause any harm over his own selfish reasons. Might be time to bite the bullet and just go home, even if his family will laugh at him.

-Present-
All the clones were dispersed and the two ANBU guards had to remove their masks to breath. At the moment the plains didn't even look like plains, the area resembled a battlefield. Kunai and shuriken everywhere, Juri stood about 5 meters away from her tired ANBU guards with her arms folded, she wasn't as tired but she was sweaty. "Just a second Lady Han." Zan said trying to catch his breath. "I'll give you 15." She says, walking towards the pond. A picnic basket lays beside the body of water, inside was a ham sub, cheesey chips and a grape pop (soda) energy drink. She began to reflect on Jin and his misadventures  while eating... God his story was interesting, she missed him more and more each day.

-Flashback-
A soft sigh would escape his mouth as he began to approach the kage. It was once the Tsuchikage began to form a hand seal that the Jounin's calmness totally shifted to alert mode. Now Jin had no idea what the hell the Kage was trying to do, but anytime someone forms a handseal it would be wise to act accordingly. Once the Kage's hands touched beginning his seal, the Jounin's hand seal would also have been formed, moving him with furious speeds away from the men. The whole raising his hand forward thing would give Jin more than enough time to clear the space and appear 50 meters behind the exact location of Jin's previous standing, still safely inside the village. Hideaki apparently stunned his own Genin, which left Jin clueless and not very pleased.

"Uhhhhh, yooo... Hideaki. I know we aren't best friends but what's up with you trying to stun me? Is this over the whole Joutetsu Clan bullshit? Because I've been trying to get them to stop complaining to the elders about all the reforms, they really dislike me." Jin would kinda yell from his safe location, calm yet ready for whatever. His arms folded, Jin grinned as he spoke, giving a light demeanor.

"By the order of the Kage and the Elders all missions have been suspended. The Sticky Rain is not of Iwagakure weather and an enemy threat is possible. The village will be closed until further notice.

'Yep, I'm going nowhere...' Jin thought to himself. Who the fuck would attack Iwa? The village was kinda shitty, not like there would be much to take. The women are mostly fat, the booze sucks and God at this moment Jin actually wished he did just hop the goddamn gate and leave, not even to defect, just take a fucking vacation.

-Present-

Once Juri was done reflecting she walked over to her ANBU guards so she could finish this part of her training. "Alright, I see you two are very tired... how about we call it a day. We've been going at it for 4 hours straight and I can get the Ninjutsu and Ijutsu section done by myself." The ANBU guards nod and get up, the trio head back to the cabin.


(1996 words)

Training Fuinjutsu was probably the easiest training session. Fuinjutsu required the user to be both smart and have a high enough level of chakra control, Juri happened to be a master Medic... this came natural. All it took was learning the hand signs and simple seals, this would require he to have peace and quiet, so she gave her guards the day off while she read books in the master bedroom alone. The two ANBU members played video games downstairs, while Juri played some music to help her mind move along. After a quick practice session she had successfully sealed and unsealed a kunai. "Too easy!" she says, tossing a book down and joining the guards in the video game session.


-Flashback of Juri's brother Bradley/Ookami-

Kirigakure... a once great village, but now it's a ceasepool for cowards and deserters. It was bound to happen though, no village should change Kages as much as Kiri does. There's no stability, just people who come through and think they can run everything while giving nothing back. Weaklings and selfish people were the only two types that ran this shit hole, now a new leader has stepped up to the plate, but can he deliver? From the penthouse of a 10 story apartment building a handsome young lad, standing at 6'1" rises from his bed. He looks out the window, half naked, and looks at his misty and devastated home. "Come back to bed daddy." A young cute blonde haired woman says, covers hiding one areola, yet one nipple pops out. Bradley slightly turns to look at her, grins and grabs a bottle of rice wine, sipping while looking back at Kiri.

After washing up with this gorgeous woman the man gets dressed in a "formal" outfit of his. It consists of a black long tee, black Samurai pants, black gym shoes and a bow tie... just to have fun. Of course the man is strapped with like 3 different katanas, he never leaves the house without at least one weapon. Today he was visiting the Mizukage, who left an unpleasant hole in his left hand, causing him to lose a small amount of mobility for a few hours, but of course he gained it back after a quick nap. Being a thug is like that, basic bitch nigga shit doesn't faze you. At this moment Bradley was nursing a small hangover, he never used to drink this much, but after some weird chicks voice began appearing in his head he had to find a way to silence it. Walking is boring... luckily for the man his destination wasn't very far. A few civilians wave towards the young Jounin, and he nods and waves back.

"I wonder what this douche has to say today..." Bradley says softly to himself, then sighing and walking into this building. The receptionist waves and smiles, all Bradley can think is 'She's probably wet right no-WHAT THE HELL?! When did I become an ass?' Kinda confused over his own thoughts. Once he approaches the lobby the guard begins to look nervous, as if he didn't know Bradley was coming. His presence does this to fake niggas though, leaving them in awe of his Basedness. "A letter?" Bradley says in his proper voice but sounding slightly irritated. "I left it at home, I hardly think me, of all people, need to show that I was invited her. Make yourself useful and find my student, he's the brightest ninja in the village... literally. His outfit is bright as fuck." He says snickering slightly. Ace didn't need to hide, he allows his opponents to see the man who's going to kill them. "Uh Bradley-san, was he wearing an orange hat?" "Yeah that's him... you seen him?" "U-Uh, he already made it to the meeting room, along with a few others." Bradley pats the man on the shoulders and heads onward.

A bunch of people Bradley really didn't know were gathered in this little office. One dude who Bradley knew for a fact wasn't from Kiri was talking to Neko. Something about this dude... he seemed cool. Ace was there, placing his sword down, though he was in a room full of ninja. He'd get scolded over this soon, never let your guard down around ninja, especially Kiri ninja. Tee was here, another Jounin who Bradley knew of. All the Jounin pretty much know each other or of each other, so once Bradley finally makes his appearance in the office the first thing he does is nod towards the man. "Tee." He says with his signature smile, then turning his head towards his student and giving this look. While still smiling, his eyes do all the talking... Ace was in trouble. "Ace-kun... why aren't you holding your Katana?" Resting it next to you on the wall wasn't enough, your hands need to be at least a millisecond away from drawing that mother fucker. Finally Bradley walks towards his dear Mizukage and opens his arms, revealing his bandaged hand. He was aiming to hug the man, but Bradley still doesn't know much about Neko.

Of all the meetings Bradley had ever attended, this one had to be the most boring... though it had the potential to be absolutely interesting with all these different people. Apparently Ace was as bored as Bradley, his face said it all. "Kajimaru, Empty your pockets. Is the item within your pocket something belonging to Kirigakure? It seems i finished to early, If you possess any item of Kirigakure you are to remove it immediatly. My friend here has the ability to sense whats in your scroll and something in there is alive, Ichiro have you detected the Signature beforehand. Ichiro, The Signature you feel, Is it weak or strong." Now it seemed the Mizukage was able to demand things from other villages so easily, the balls this man had. Some blind dude came in and began talking, making things even more boring. The Head Jounin just yawned and began observing Kajimaru, trying to get a feel out on the Konoha ninja. In his mind he had an idea, but it was only an idea. "I was going to save the person locked away within that thing, something no one here had enough interest to do before I arrived. I was going to take it back to a fuuinjutsu expert in our village, and the medical expert our Hokage. I wasn't sure what exactly this man would need when he gets out, or even how to bring him out. Is this something that can be arranged, because just in case you don't know I will tell you the horrendous feeling of being trapped forever. Please Mizukage-sama, forgive my mistake on forgetting to inform you and possibly ruining every ounce of trust you may have had for me... help me save this man."

"Ugh this is beyond boring and wasting my training time." Ace was right. "Sensei I shall see you outside to commend with our little mission." After this the young Genin began leaving, having the right idea of what to do. "Yeahhhhh... I'm about to bounce. Well, good to see you guys again. Uhhh Kajimaru right? When I'm in Konoha I'll look you up with a proposal, but right now I've got to get out of here before I slit my wrist from boredom. And you uhhh... blind guy. I think you should bring around a seeing dog or something like that, can't have you running into walls. Byeeee!" Bradley says, laughing abit.

Along with his young apprentice, the awesome Jounin comes strolling into the training ground holding his awesome katana in his right hand. Today he was going to fight- er, spar with the newly appointed Mizukage, a man who had to gain his respect. If this Mizukage could force Bradley into using his more powerful techniques then he'd be something special, but he doubts that'll happen. Neko looked like he was a tough cookie though, someone that wouldn't fall easily. The training grounds were filled with mist, making it hard to see, but still visible. Trees surrounded the area, puddles of water and a mini-pond. Bradley looks over to his young student and nods towards him, directing him to stand back a few. He then looks over to Neko and opens his mouth.

"Alright Mizukage, you wanted to fight, you start this off." He says as he draws his katana and takes a stance.

"You took your time Bradley, your genin here was just voicing his opinion on how I should carry myself." Purported the Mizukage with his cocky demeanor and a laugh to top it off. This guy felt a certain way about himself, this was obvious in his swagger, the way he walked, talked. He must feel his skills truly are up to par if he's able to try glaring at Ace as if he's the teacher. "Hey, Kage-kun, eyes over here, you're fighting me, not my student. Maybe in a year or two he'll be your equal, but today he's still inexperienced, so I won't even allow you to imagine a battle with him. Keep your eyes smiling once you look his way, sir." He adds with a little grin of his own, and a sarcastic, yet polite mini-bow. Ace was fucking clumsy though, the boy wasn't really giving a good example of Bradley's teaching skills. "And Ace, if you fall out of that tree again I'll make you chop so much wood the splinters in your hands will grow cherry blossoms." A strange relationship between this student and teacher, Bradley tried treating Ace as both a son and a little brother... which meant he loved him unconditionally and picked on him constantly. A little tough love never hurt.

Although it was misty outside, it was a beautiful day. Of course it was silent in the training fields, no sounds but an occasional frog croaking or splashing of fish in the pond. Bradley always felt peace in these training grounds, he'd even come here to rest after a mission at times. He knew every inch of this place, and would use this to his advantage (unless of course the Mizukage knew every inch as well, which he probably should). Bradley was about 10 feet away from his opponent while all this went down. Neko was finally ready to make a move though, his muscles began tensing up, his hands began forming a seal. Of course Bradley had the eyes of a hawk, his Kenjutsu training was the cause of this. With the Mizukage's one hand seal, Bradley instantly began his own little counter-attack. You see... most of his jutsu are paper release or weapons, most don't even require hand seals. So the moment Neko began placing his hands together for that one seal, Bradley's left hand fired a paper shuriken towards him.

Of course the mist... this irritating nuisance it was, but the Shuriken, that single Shuriken would be on the Mizukage's ass. Of course, Bradley doesn't know that Neko moved about 13 meters away from Bradley (presumably back 13 meters), so his single shuriken seems to have failed. This is not the case at all though. After the single ninja star was thrown, a total of five hand seals were formed by Bradley. He did this fast, having to slightly drop his Katana for it to happen. With those seals, that one shuriken multiplied into a thousand shuriken, all spread out to a distance of about 15 meters. The shuriken barrage could travel far though, Bradley being strong and a Master at weapons, his shuriken could easily reach that measly 13 meter distance of Neko in NO time. So let's review. Bradley throws ninja star at the same time as Neko's first hand seal. Neko moves as Bradley forms the seals, which splits the ninja star. Neko then goes for another hand seal, but little does he know, a thousand ninja stars are already about to land before he can even think about doing whatever sneaky thing he was doing.

This mist was also the double edged sword, Neko not even knowing a thousand damn shuriken were in his face. Of course his little flicker or fast body movement may have still been able to work, though with the big wide spread of shuriken, he'd have to at least be nicked by one of the THOUSAND GODDAMN SHURIKEN FIRED. Bradley simply held his katana and stayed ready, in his semi-tangible state, but looking normal as fuck. Ace was probably as blind at this point as Bradley, so the Jounin kinda hoped he stayed on guard as well. A shame really... now the kid can't really see the fight- oh wait never mind. The mist ceased itself apparently, and Neko was out of the mist... but was he completely uninjured?

Those fast shuriken were rendered ineffective by Neko's freaky hair needles. Who the fuck grows hair and uses it as a weapon... other than Kasuga who had a technique similar to Neko's. Like stated earlier, Bradley was in a semi-intangible form, which basically meant he was able to easily turn into paper and disperse if some form of physical attack decided to try attacking him. So if these wild needles were able to actually reach the man, they'd simply go right through. Same as these little kunai the Mizukage though would do something. By the time they appeared from the mist, Bradley simply allowed his body to open holes for the weapons to pass, he then allowed himself to float into the air, and out of sight of the Mizukage.

Apparently the Mizukage was charging in once he threw the shuriken, so he'd probably be able to see Bradley as he floated into the air, but it mattered not... the man would land onto the ground soon to handle this battle in a more personal manner. Bradley began floating once Neko threw the Ice darts though, dodging them while in his paper form. After this he flickered mid-air about 5 feet away from Neko with his regular katana draw. He leaned in about 2 feet and aimed a slash towards his chest.

Neko miscalculated the young Jounin... greatly. You see, Neko thinks Wrath cares about his well being, which he doesn't. These laser beams that were fired at the man were obviously seen, and even though they were fast, it didn't mean they were un-dodgable or unable to be countered. Wrath had 5 different ideas out of the attack, but once his blade cut into his opponent, he already knew exactly what he would do. With a simple smile Wrath allows himself to be hit with the full force of the attack, the lasers slamming into his left hand. But at the same time he channels chakra through the blade, using the Flying Swallow attack. This allows the lightning to pass from his body through the blade, making the cut not only deepen, but also electrocuting the Mizukage equally. Of course Neko tried countering with a flick of his finger to the blade, but what good would that do, he'd already been shocked. If this laser technique actually hits, both opponents will be knocked the fuck out, even if Neko is a medic. Of course this is if the technique actually hits Wrath, if not then his katana would be flicked from his hand and he'll jump back about 2 meters and grin. But a double KO sounds nice.

Blah blah blah, hand is pierced by laser, Bradley is in intense pain but plays it off like he's cool. Once the lasers hit his face literally remained the same, slightly grinning. Of course he has a giant gaping hole in his left hand, but he's okay. He kinda deduced things differently, he thought the lasers would do something along the lines of stunning, instead of actually piercing through material. It's all good though, Bradley has no regrets or hard feelings. He's actually just mad at his student for leaving him. He never told that little brat he could go anywhere, and his ass just left. "Goddamn it Ace, stay safe." The man says as his Kage hoists him up onto his back. "Uhhhh..." Bradley would object if his student was here, but if Neko wants to carry another man to a hospital it's all good, his legs feel weak from the shock anyways. "Alright sure carry me. They better be able to heal me quick, my lovely bastard of a student needs to be put to work tomorrow."

What a day indeed. A few events occurred throughout this hectic day; A new Mizukage came into power, Ace learned Silent Killing, and now it seems something was happening near the gates. (though none of them know this) But like all things in life, this day had come to an end. The sun set and darkness slowly started creeping in, there weren't many lights other than the lanterns that filled the training grounds. Signs of nightlife began to make themselves apparently, crickets singing, fireflies lighting the night skies. There weren't any clouds, and the mist was relatively low at the moment. The sound of flapping wings approach the two tired ninja, two familiar faces appear. Bradley, the most famous Jounin in Kiri and his young apprentice Ace come flying in on giant paper origami like birds. Like his usual self, Bradley has a grin on his face, looking at the two winded ninja with his arms folded. He approaches the two and stops, standing about 5 meters away. "I've been looking everywhere for you two, it took me about an hour to track you guys down. Look, me and my student Ace here have decided that we're going to take over Taki. Now even though I'm a strong, taking over an entire village isn't something that one can do with simply a Genin to help. I need other strong Kiri ninja, you guys down?" Bradley says with his arms still folded, calm as can be, yet always prepared for anything.

"Well yellow to you too, but yea I don't have a problem going I didn't use much chakra so I should be good by the time we get there anyhow."

The fuck does Yellow to you too mean? Is this like a new slang? Bradley was confused because he's usually on top of all slang words, so obviously this dude knew something he didn't... or is just weird as hell. "Uhhhh yellow Tee." He says raising an eyebrow to see if the term was used correctly.

"why exactly are you guys taking over Taki anyhow and what are you gaining from it?

"So we can get ryo and do whatever we want of course... this is a S-Ranked mission. We'll be rich after this boys, plus, all the women you could dream for. Bitches love men in power." Bradley smiles as he says this, playful yet serious.

"Sure I don't see a problem with it, If Tee is ok with it I'll go, why not?"

Dai was on board, so after this the man simply did a few hand seals and summoned this giant ass bird looking mofo, which was a Tengu.

"You guys allow him to fly you to the ships, he's flies fast and will allow you to rest up. Let's goooooo!" Bradley says getting back on his flying bird thingy with his student and taking off.

-Awake-

Juri is woke by Zan, she's fully clothed this time. "Lady Han-" "Just call me Juri-Sama." Zan's mask is off, he blushes, Juri notices this. "Oh uh, J-Juri-sama, it's time to go." It seems the vacation was over. Juri already had everything she needed though, her training had been successful, but hard. Being Raikage meant she had to be the absolute strongest in all of Kumogakure, so her skills had to match. "Prepare the carriage..." she says, rubbing her eyes and getting up from her nice temporary bed. "I'll miss this place." Zan says, looking around. Juri pats him on the back and smiles. "We'll come back, next time I'll give you guys a real vacation, you do so much for Kumo." Her smile was legit, this wasn't the Neon Bitch or Juri Han, but that nice little girl that she keeps locked away behind her monstrous strength. Together the trio get into the carriage and leave, heading back home, but with memories of a crazy vacation.

Being the best isn't good enough. You can come into something, dominate everyone and everything around you and still won't prove that you're the absolute best. Take Kanye West for example: He has 124 awards, including 21 Grammys, and still people don't consider him the best. He started a new wave of musicians, every album he's created is critically acclaimed and Platinum, he's changed the tides of an entire Era of music, yet people only see him for his failures. Well the same can be said for Juri Han. She single handedly eradicated all gangs and the majority of drug use from Kumogakure in a month, yet people doubt her choices. She forced the Genin to push themselves and work harder, which in turn created a lot of new Chuunin, but they claim she doesn't care about the people. She created new jobs for people, opened doors that had been shut for ages for all of Kumogakure, yet they only focus on her appearance. What is she to do? You cannot please everyone, you cannot be friends with everyone. Sometimes you have to be the bad guy, because respect only goes so far! Fear is the only thing people won't dare to challenge, because if it's strong enough, it will break all willpower.

On this particular day our Heroine was alone in the mountains (well technically all of Kumo are composed of mountains, but for the sake of the story, let's say not in the village) meditating under a waterfall. It was beautiful outside, a bright sun, the smell of fresh rain. Woods surrounded the area, animals hurrying along to their own devices. Today Juri had to train her weapon skills, they were non-existing at this point. But how does one go about this alone? She wanted to leave behind her ANBU guards because she felt as if they were suffocating her. Like... remove the fucking umbilical cord Moms, I need to be free. It would have been easier though to have a little help, but hey... Taijutsu and Kenjutsu are similar, how hard can this be? Opening her eyes the woman's first view was a deer a little bit away from her, about 5 meters to her right, drinking water. Unmoving, Juri begins to stalk her prey, simply with her eyes. On her back lies 10 arrows and a bow. Quietly she grips the bow and draws an arrow, firing a shot, aimed into the creature's left eye. Through the air a SWOOSH is heard, alerting the deer. But it is too late, the arrow is upon him. Lucky for the deer Juri fucking sucks at aiming, the arrow goes flying into the woods, scaring the deer off, who quickly shuffles away into the trees. "UGH!" the Raikage groans. "I really need to get this shit down!" From her pocket she pulls out a book of poetry from a great Daimyo Hojo Ujimasa.

Autumn wind of eve,
blow away the clouds that mass
over the moon's pure light
and the mists that cloud our mind,
do thou sweep away as well.
Now we disappear,
well, what must we think of it?
From the sky we came.
Now we may go back again.
That's at least one point of view.

Maybe pushups could help. Juri begins thrusting her arms up and down off the ground, as if she were trying to push the earth. Counting out loud "70, 71, 72..." only acts as music to her ears, boosting her motivation to reach higher numbers. It isn't until Juri reaches 234 that she realizes push ups only helped with her physical prowess, the real challenge was increasing her perception through eyesight. Her reflexes and hearing were on fleek, her eyes were also nice but they weren't weaponry nice. She needed eyes like a Hawk, able to clip the wings of a fly during the day, using only chopsticks. While this may have taken years, getting close for her would only take hours or days. Hey, Juri was a fast learner, what can I say? So into the darkened forest, carrying her equipment, the Raikage makes sure to silence herself. Another arrow is loaded onto the drawn bow, she slows her breathing as she finds that same deer. What a dumbass, he should have ran further and faster. Animals don't have a human's mind though, instinct is far lower than reasoning. Or so we've been told. This deer lives for a simple purpose: Eat, sleep, drink, reproduce. Humans are the complicated ones. Kill, take, burn, rape. This comes from those who have reasoning, those who would run faster when danger is presence. Maybe this deer stopped because, in his mind, the danger was over. His entire life has been filled with calmness, simply living his day to day unchallenged by anything else. It wasn't until the creature with reason came into his life, that he was forced to change who he was and try to escape.

With all this being said and done, another arrow flies through the air aimed at the deer's eye. But instead of missing, it hit its mark, dead into his eye, thrusting into his brain. For a few seconds the deer jumps around, he was basically already dead but his nerves were signalling "PAIN PAIN, REMOVE REMOVE!" Juri decides to put him out of his misery with another arrow that strikes his neck. He dies instantly. With a sigh, the woman approaches her kill. For a second she smiles at her achievement, but upon closer inspection, she notices something. A single blood drop runs down the deer's eye as if it were a tear. Reasoning killed instinct.

Fuinjutsu is the name of the game today. Juri's training has been going on so long it seems like she's barely able to do anything else. In between running a village, trying to have a social life, and training, the woman is completely tired when she gets home. On top of that she hadn't even begun training her Bijuu, Son Goku at this point was just laughing at her failures in pleasing him. "He he he... foolish little girl. You take all this time training everything but the one thing that really matters... me. Can't you see? Without my power you're just some useless child with a few kicking moves and band-aid jutsu. With my power you can make the entire world shake, not just some puny village." Juri, while still in the comfort of her PJ's, sits up from her soft couch and closes her book. Today was the day she began to train him. "Son Goku, how about we begin this training with a story. I've been meaning to train my Fuinjutsu and Sensory, and the best way is to read. I'll kill two birds with one stone here. Our story begins with Satoru Raiju, a former Kumogakure ANBU member, who was strong enough to kill Otaki, the Raikage. He's one of my mentors." "Ah, because he was able to murder his leader in cold blood?" Son Goku asks, chuckling. "No, because he was able to make sacrifices for the greater good. He killed the Raikage knowing he'd be branded a traitor his entire life, all so his cousin could take the throne. You see, sacrifice means power, and you sure do love power." She says, giggling and picking up Satoru's book to read.

-Reading-

For a few days after the dreadful experience Satoru Raiju experienced, he did nothing by lay in his bed and sleep. His maids tried luring him out, cooking him lavish meals and inviting their beautiful female friends over to try forcing him into conversation. Nothing worked, his depression could not be swayed no matter how hard anyone tried. It was only on the fourth day when his father came over for a visit that he changed. His dad was a good man, hard worker but stern to his son. Not like during his childhood when both his parents were super nice, once the boy became a man his father treated him different, which actually made Satu respect his dad more. Satu's dad enters his bedroom with an angered look on his face, the ANBU Captain quickly notices this and hops out of bed, standing up straight, holding out his hand.

"Hello father, what brings you here?"

His little handshake won't do, Satu's father looks pissed.

"Are you over here crying like a little girl? Satoru me and your mother didn't raise you to be a bitch. You're the leader of the Raiju clan, and apparently, now the ANBU Captain of Kumogakure. You better act like a goddamn man and get out of bed. I was in the middle of a business meeting with the Uchiha family trying to come up with an energy drink, the next time I'm called away to clean up your mess I swear to you son, I'll beat you up so bad you'll give me the Clan Leader title."

Satu looks legit scared, though he's easily the strongest ninja in a 5 mile radius.

"I understand that you're sad over what happened son, you maids told me what actually happened, and not the rumors going around. You made a mistake, he made a mistake, things happen. Ignore everyone that will try to bring you down in the future son, you're a RAIJU, We're the strongest clan in Kumo- no... the world! Act like it!"

With that his father shakes his hand and leaves. Satoru knows his father is right, and knows the only way to clear his head is through training.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another day passes but this time our hero is on his way to the training grounds, people stop and stare at him, pointing fingers and whispering. He can feel their eyes burning holes into his back. The muffled whispers and gasps at his appearance only make him sadder, but he knows with this he must carry on. Once he enters the training grounds a group of about 5 Shinobi glare at him, never looking away. He simply walks pass the group, looking for solace in a private area. A few of the men look scared, afraid the "Kage Killer" doesn't like to be looked at, and might just have to fix it. Once the darkened clouds in the sky rumble the group of ninja flee, thinking Satu is ready to strike. He smiles at this and unloads the bags he brought for his training session.

Although the black thunder clouds rumble, not a single drop of rain falls. It's about 2 in the afternoon and this final training process won't take that long. Satu had been training his Raijin's Blood for years, this was the final push into the final stage. He starts off by activating his Untrained Raijin Blood LV.2. A huge wave of wind swirls around him and pushes dust away with force. His golden eyes begin to glow along with his skin, two black lines are formed, starting from his eyes and falling down onto his chin. His white hair stands up, and his clothes begin to ruffle. If anyone around the man could see him, they'd think he was some sort of divine being.

Kicking his feet off from the ground, Satu begins to fly into the air with great speeds. At the moment his training simply consists of gaining control of such high speeds of flight, since at the moment the boy was traveling at a speeds compared to a Taijutsu Master. His maneuvering about had sharply increased since his last training session, this time he's able to make U-Turns around the giant mountains he so happens to be flying near. Once he approached a different mountain, he pushes off the side and flies directly towards another mountain with force. Satu completely stops his movements before he can crash, flips, and repeats. He does about 25 sets of this before he gets tired and takes a short break on the ground, eating a sandwich with orange juice. Looking around he notices a few people hiding in the trees.

"Come on out, I'm ANBU I noticed you an hour ago."

About 2 Jounin leveled men come out in full armor, looking irritated. One dude is white with a large scar across his eye, holding a large axe. The other is a short black dude with black hair and golden eyes, obviously one of his clan mates.

"Look here Kage Killer, I've never liked you, you were always seen as the 'Chosen' one in our clan. Well I'm a Jounin now and I wanna be the leader! Since you came into power your rules against this class system are stupid! My family has been in charge of you dirty yellow bolts for years, I'll be damned if you end it now!" Says the short black dude.

The big buff white dude smiles and adds on "And I just don't like you. Otaki was an old pal of mine, he'd always look out for me. I think bringing your head to his funeral would ease the pain of his loss a bit." After he speaks he gets into a battle stance, ready to hack Satoru.

The young ANBU Captain smiles and cracks his knuckles.

"Well... I've been meaning to test the final part of my release, I think the little traitor over here will understand what I mean scarface."

The short Raiju clan dude widens his eyes, his mouth drops.

"Man this was a mistake he-"

Before he can finish his sentence two black, highly compressed waves of thunder in the shape of fist fly towards the two men. The short black dude is able to create a black lightning shield that lessens the damage, but sends him flying back about 4 meters. The buff guy tries to cut the fist, but his sword snaps and he's hit directly in the throat by the attack, also being sent flying back about 4 meters. The short Raiju member gets up with both arms covered in black lightning, ready to battle, but then he notices the big guy is gasping for breath and heads over to help him.

"Oh no!" he says, watching as the man coughs up blood while laying on his back.

Satu frowns and approaches the two men, the short dude gets in a defensive stance ready to counter. The ANBU Captain simply picks up the big buff guy and hoist him over his right shoulder.

"This is your faults, if you hadn't come here I could have finished my training and minded my own business. If he dies his blood is on your hands, not me."

With that Satu develops a golden glow around his body and takes off towards the hospital. He finished his training, but now word will travel and people will think that the "Kage Killer" is really as cold as the rumors persist that he is.

-----------------

Kumogakure. A village named for the view one gets while overlooking the clouds that flow through the mountains the entire town. On this particular day, a huge storm erupts, with huge lightning clouds everywhere. The strange yet interesting thing about being in the Raikage's office is that the lightning clouds erupt around the building itself, so through the window one can see everything, black clouds with white flashes shooting back and forth. Strong winds knock onto the window, that and the loud thunderous booms should create a lot of noise.

A young ANBU member appears on the first floor of this administration's building holding an umbrella, in his full ANBU gear. He's easily distinguished by the Raijū clan's symbol on his back. Today Satoru and his younger cousin Moyasu had some business to discuss with the current Raikage. An old man this Raikage was, both of these younger boys probably didn't even have half the stories he could tell. But story telling can wait, right now more important matters had to be attended. Satu climbs the stairs, slightly irritated he hadn't started his mission.

Right now, like usual, Satoru's muscles are always ready for anything to happen. Being ANBU means you can get attacked at any time, or the Raikage, whom you must protect. He was actually packing his bags when Moya came to him and told him the conversation that the pair had to have with the Raikage if the village was going to get any better. Once Satu reaches the Raikage's office, he notices the leader isn't there, so he and his cousin must have taken the secret elevator that leads outside. Only ANBU members and the Raikage himself know of this secret passageway, thus meaning the three would be safe to discuss village business without a foreign enemy invading.

"Ah.... you must be the Raikage? Otaki if im not mistaking? ha... Please mind the rude entrance without knocking on the door and such but please if you wouldn't mind waiting for my Cousin to get here? that would be a huge favor that i would very much appreciate."

"Don't wait too long, I'm here."

Satu was a bit more impatient that his younger cousin. The pair have known each other for a while, they were basically like two brothers. Being the older cousin, Satu is very protective, and usually somewhat of a bully. At this moment the Raikage and Moya are outside, lightning and thunder filling the skies along with rain. Making his way towards the two, Satu's left arm reaches for his mask, while his right arm is raised, allowing him to snap his fingers. Through the air a large and loud thunder bolt springs around the old geezer. These thunder clouds were no joke, masking thunder like they do. Satu is about 10 feet from the Kage, while his cousin is probably about 4 feet to his right. Usually the ANBU would smile and tease his cousin, probably hug him, but in front of a Kage, one must show restraints.

A dark deed had been done onto this peaceful man, by another man of peace. The dark thunderous clouds and their tears fall onto the open face of Satu, who by now is staring up at the sky, his own fluids mixing in with the rain. Satoru's right palm was still stained with blood, his evil deed caused his throat to fill up with his stomach acids, but he swallows his emotions and accepts what he's done.

"Damn."

1 Hour Ago.

"Don't wait too long, I'm here."

Satoru's thunder finger clap jutsu hit Otaki without fail, springing into action and hitting the Raikage at point blank range. The man's body begins to shake and convulse rapidly as he hits the ground, shaking from the electricity storming through his body. Even if the attack wasn't as powerful as others in his arsenal, it was still something else. With a look of surprise that such a simple attack actually defeated the Raikage, Sato tries to hold back his excitement of his power.

"God that was only one attack, all I did was one of the first Thunder Release jutsu they teach us. I guess this Raijin blood is powerful though... Uhhh okay."

Otaki quivers even more once his stomach is impaled by Moya-chan, who at this point just went overkill.
"I am so sorry to do this to you Raikage sama but you either have two choices..... The first is to step down as the Raikage and hand that title over to me and drop down to become a Jounin for Kumogakure or............ Die. If you agree to step down then i will take you immidatly to the hospital and you will live to fight another day for Kumo but if not then im sure Satu would love to have the title 'Kage Killer' on his head and be feared by the land. I am done here..... you have now be de-ranked to a Jounin for Kumogakure. Medics will arrive to pick you up shortly if your still alive.... Satu might not be so kind... Oh and cousin your now the Anbu Captain."

"Moyasu I think he's had enough! Look at him, the first attack put him down, you don't have to keep him down to prove your point!"

After Moya walks away to apparently get fresh air... while outside, Satu tries to help the Ex-Raikage up and to the hospital. But the scorn man has a different idea, pulling a bombtag wrapped kunai from his pocket, and trying to stab the young man with it. With the position that the two were in now, with Satu's right arm trying to grab the older man by his stomach to hoist him up, Satu is able to counter rapidly. With a huge amount of force Satu squeezes the impaled stomach of the ex-Kumo leader, making the pain from the previous attack double. He drops the bombtag, but tries activating it before it lands, so it can kill Satu.

"Boom." The old man says, but he doesn't realize that his younger enemy had already kicked the falling bombtag into the office above them, and with the same momentum reversed his kick and landed it at the back of the old man's head. The explosion went off and destroyed windows from the building, alerting people above. Otaki laid on the ground unmoving, head full of blood.

"Goddamn it old man look what you made me do! I was trying to help you! Now your head is bleeding and that office is gonna require some repairs, my estate is not paying for that... Uhhh Otaki-san?"

Still unmoving Satu shakes the man.

"Otaki-san this isn't funny, if you try another sneak attack I'll have to break your arms man."

Still no movement. Satoru checks for breathing but hears nothign.

"Otaki-san... OTAKI! MOVE YOU BASTARD! I DIDN'T EVEN KICK YOU HARD! YOU WERE THE RAIKAGE, HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT WEAK KILL YOU?! OTAKI!"

People above in the office look down at the scenery, a woman screams and covers her face. They now look onto the face of Satoru, the Kage Killer.

---------------------------------------------------

What a mid-day this was. The 21 year old ANBU Captain of Kumogakure decided that today would be his day off. He'd been working hard for 2 weeks straight trying to get all the work done, him now becoming the leader of the ANBU corps. His younger cousin was the previous leader, so the passing of the "throne" was relatively simply. Most of the day was spent at an expensive spa, so all he had to do was lay back and rest. At this moment he was heading towards a nice little restaurant near his office, hungry for sushi. On his way he witnesses a weird man create a clone of himself, of course this must mean he's a ninja. Being the ANBU Captain, Satoru knows ALL ninja in this village, so he takes a closer look at the man and realizes he's none other than the S-Ranked missing nin with an extremely high bounty, the same man he was planning on taking down soon. He was about... 5 meters away, though at the moment Satoru was hidden in the crowd of people. Others noticed what the man was doing, he didn't really try to hide his intentions. With a simple hand raise and snap of his fingers a condensed wave of chakra flew towards the original man before he could do anything else, at this point the crowd was behind Satu. A few members of the ANBU began moving the people away for this little occurrence. A large thunderous roar emitted from the man's mouth, yet his ninjutsu had the range to hit both men easily. Satu's attack would interrupt this missing-nin from any other techniques he had planned, so he'd have to counter first or die. After Satu fires his technique he begins to take flight, just in case.
"Oh wow, that was surprisingly easy. I thought he was the "God Shinobi", the man that was able to take over an entire village... he was just as weak as Otaki." After the ANBU Captain's attacks killed the enemy and his clone, another attack apparently over killed the already dead man. With that the eyes of Satoru grows colder, his rapid beating heart begins to slow down to its normal pace. With the evil man dead, Satu simply approaches him and "runs his pockets" for everything that he has. He then looks up towards his little brother who apparently was flying above him. He smiles and begins to speak. "Little brother, always late to the party."
So it seems that Kimaru-kun, Satu's little brother decided that he wanted to capture the body of the deceased Missing-Nin, possibly so he can study using his Ijutsu skills. The older brother didn't really care, he was however, required to eventually destroy the body since he was ANBU. Of course Kim-kun knew this and would probably give back the body later so the Captain could do his job. It also seems a misguided little boy decided he would randomly charge in and attack literally the second most know person of the village... This boy had to have known who Satory Raiju is since well... his clan owns most of Kumo, and he himself is known as the "Kage Killer", also since he's the Leader of this powerful clan. The distance between the two was five meters, though Satu was floating in the air, about 10 meters above the boy, so unless he planned on jumping, his little rush wasn't going to do shit. Satu began putting his hands together to force a clap, but his younger brother already decided that he'd counter with a wind attack. Since he's already floating in the air the man decides, "Fuck it... I might as well just leave." And that's exactly what he does.

-Book Over-

By the time the girl is finished she's so tired she just passes out on the couch. Son Goku chuckles and falls to sleep with her.

((Sorry for the wall of text, I just really try to get this shit done))

It seems Juri Han and Son Goku were becoming better friends through her reading of books. After another day of book reading and Fuinjutsu training, Son Goku began to respect the woman a bit more. How funny, something as peaceful as reading was able to tame a beast. Of course Son Goku was getting a little tired of just reading books, so he wanted Juri to train her Bukijutsu skills. "Heya, girly. Instead of reading, I want you to do something else interesting, like train your weapon skills. Depending on how well you do, I'll tell you a story about a boy I used to know." Juri raises an eyebrow. "Son Goku, you knew other people? I forgot that you did have Jinchuriki. Well sure, sounds interesting to hear a story from you." Juri says, getting out of her bed and taking a shower. Once she was finished, she headed out with her loyal ANBU guards, Zan and Zing. The trio arrived at the dojo where this all began, and they were greeted by two trainers. A weapons master and an Elemental ninjutsu user. The weapons master was a handsome young brown skinned boy with silver eyes and red hair, he looked pretty badass. The girl on the other hand, was a brown skinned, blue eyed girl with purple hair and a huge ass/rack. Like she was built son, thick and sexy. Juri wanted to bite both of them, but she had to train, so she had to leave all that bullshit for the birds yo. (excuse my grammar) You see, Juri ALSO had to work on gaining a fire element, so she could harness Lava Release. She had the basics, Son Goku had began training her, now she needed to learn the more advanced techniques and skills. "Shall we get started?" She asks the trainers and Son Goku. "Yes..." Son Goku says, beginning his tale of Aokiji, the Ice Wielder who became his friend.

-Long ago...-

"Ehhhh? What type of homoerotic scene did I walk into? Are you two really my teammates?" A calm voice rings into the ears of the two original ninja. Aokiji had finally made his appearance after being absent from most of the meeting between the two shinobi. "Don't get all brokeback mountain on me, I mean... I accept gays and all, but if you two are going to be feeling on each other during missions you can count me out." He'd say with a straight, calm face, but slowly beginning to giggle towards the end of the speech, followed by a smile. "I'm Michio AKA Aokiji, no last name, no middle name. I'm 15, a medic/puppet user, I like long walks on the beach and redheads, there's my introduction, let's do these missions." He'd say, with both hands in his pockets, acting all nonchalant.

Obviously Aokiji was late for a reason, let's see why in this flashback.

FLASHBACK (WITHIN a story sequence?! Inception)
_________________________________________________________________

Around noon Aokiji finally woke up, kinda pissed, but awoke. His mom was so excited that he would finally gain his team, so she cooked him up a huge breakfa-errr, brunch. "Honey I'm so proud of you, you'll become Chuunin in no time!" She says then kisses his cheek as he, still in his Scooby Doo Pjs, sits at the table to eat. "Thanks ma, I just hope they don't hold me back, I just want to get my mandatory missions in so I can rank up. I don't have time for BS." "But honey they'll probably love you, you're my little snuggie poo!" she pinches the cheeks of a man who just last night gave oral sex to a woman for half an hour in a sushi restaurants bathroom. "Thanks mom." The damn deviant says, continuing to eat his meal.

After the meal, shower and dressing up, Aokiji kisses his mom on the cheek and heads out. On his way though, a couple of his friends alerted him that they had just picked up this FPS they pre-ordered and invited him. I mean... the game just came out so damn, he had to atleast play for 15 minutes, right? This fool was playing the game for at least 2 hours, when he finally left he realized how much time he lost, and began to jet off towards the meeting spot. When he finally got there it was around 4ish, warm and slightly windy. Clouds were beginning to form but then again, it always rains in Kumo. He arrived right when the Uchiha guy hit the big mouth guy, which was funny as shit.

UNFLASHBACK
___________________________________________________

"Sooo.... you guys ready?" Aokiji asks staring at the Uchiha guy's pretty hair.
"You will only call me sensei and nothing less. Failing to do that will lead to an punishment."

Cocky ass dude. Over here trying to look cool with all that excessive hair, it's really hard. Over here looking like a loreial model, but is he worth it? Looking like Legolas and shit, Lord of the Rings head ass. As easy as it would be to just roast this guy right now, Aokiji was so sure he'd burn him alive, he's an Uchiha after all. And the way he's eating this fucking apple, UGH. Like straight up, this dude just pulled a damn fruit from nowhere and was making out with it. If this man winks or moans at Aokiji with this apple in his mouth... 'Stay calm, he's not trying to take my boyhood.' Aokiji thought to himself. Plus it wasn't his fault he was weird, HE WAS AN UCHIHA! Other than Madara, Itachi, Obito and Shisui there were no other real ass Uchiha, and even these four were a little suspect. But was his sensei Itachi level? We'll see.

"Ehhhh, what's up Sensei?" he retorts, shrugging.  

"Hello team mate. My name is Hiryo Nara, the prince of shadows and I am a member of Uchiha, Garuda's Ninja squad Zero at your service."

Ugh... One of those. This guy was corny, aren't Nara laid back?

"Yeah what's up man." Playing with his backpacks straps, Aokiji scans Hiryo over as the boy begins to speak about missions. This guy was around his age, so they'd probably have to become friends if they were on the same team. He looks kinda lame though, what if he scares away all the women?! Ugh... Let's just try to make this guy look cooler.

"That sounds good really." Aojiki starts, in reply to the Nara kid, "I mean, let's get all of these missions out of the way as soon as possible. I have this connect over at this one sushi place and he gives me free drinks after each mission, so we all can have a round. Just try not looking like a 12 year old dude, this guy is cool and I don't want him to get in trouble." He says with a serious look. Aokiji reaches for a cigarette and thinks of something funny to do. He walks over to the calm Uchiha-sama and holds out his fag "Hey, can you light this sensei?"
"Rude." says the young man, after his Sensei refused his request. I mean damn, you have fire, just light the damn thing. This dude must be a prude straight up, or just an asshole, something. Aokiji wasn't strong enough to take this dude, yet... so the Uchiha was allowed to continue looking down on the clanless puppeteer. Taking out a lighter, Aokiji puts the cigarette to his lips and takes a deep drag, looking up towards the cloudy sky. What a beautiful world, but why is he still in this place? So cloudy, so rainy, not like Suna or Konoha. Maybe one day after he become Raikage, he can retire and travel the world again... with her. What a dream. "He's right sensei, you're in charge."

He quickly snaps back to reality and notices he's been day dreaming for a few seconds, the nerdy kid is talking now though.You are the sensei.... take charge..." He was right, this sensei fucking sucked, just chilling. Maybe this kid should take charge, from what the data said Hiryo was a Chuunin. That's a high enough rank to lead a team or whatnot, so maybe he could just at least take charge when this bum wouldn't. Aokiji flicks his ashes and takes another puff, side-eying his sensei again.

Maybe this Hiryo kid wasn't such a lame. "You should really put that away, it isn't healthy." Nevermind, he was a lame again. More of a square than the one the man is smoking right now, damn. "Yeah, if you can put this fag out then I'll stop, until then keep doing you buddy." Aokiji retorts with his eyes glaring at the Chuunin, eyebrows lowered. "Alright let's start this mission already..." he says walking towards Hiryo, tightening his backpack. The boy was ready, now it was just the Uchiha's turn to get his ass up and follow.
Man what the hell. Uchiha-sensei just left the pair alone, in this cold and unforgiving world, on a potentially dangerous mission. Not only is he a lazy douche, he’s a heartless lazy douche. Whatever though, not like the two young boys needed him, he would have probably slowed them down anyways. “Wow… he actually just left us. I mean… I knew he was an asshole, didn’t think he’d leave us though. Whatever, I should have flexed his ass when I had the chance.” He says to his Chuunin partner, flicking his cigarette but away, and spitting where his sensei laid. You can best believe the next time the Uchiha scum was seen he’d catch a pair of fist.

Aokji found it weird that Hiryo stated he’d take care of him, with Aokiji being older and whatnot. He probably said that because he’s a Chuunin while the boy is just a Genin. Maybe this dude has skill to make it to Chuunin at a younger age, then again maybe not? “I’m ready.” The pair then takes off towards their mission, clear debris and find out what was causing the debris to fall in the first place. Once at the location the two boys actually spot the carnage that had been caused by the falling rocks. Blood stains remained on the rocks, the smell of death stank up the air, and large boulders were everywhere. It was strange… these rocks looked different than the landscape. They were a different texture and color than the regular rocks, but before Aokiji could pay further attention, a couple of boulders began falling towards the two boys. Hiryo raced up the mountain to find the source, leaving the Genin alone to save himself.  This is easy. Swiftly Aokiji created twin chakra scalpeand began slicing the falling boulders into small pieces. His taijutsu and medical skill easily allowed him to do so, with the debris from the rocks falling to his sides.

Before the boy can celebrate though, the largest rock comes shooting towards him, now he knows this is intentional. He doesn’t have the strength to cleave this in two, so he’d have to improvise. A single handseal allows him to move at a rapid speed away, flickering in the nick of time away. The large boulder crashes, splitting in half, causing a large BOOMing sound. “Fuck that was close!” He yells to his partner, letting him know he’s alright.
"We are invited to a local body building contest, down at beach side! He want's new opponents and we are too do anything to win? The contest holds three rounds. First round is arm wrestling match, second is picking up ladies and last is best poses! Aokiji it would be best if you enter this and win it because im just a kid... they wouldn't take me serious..."

Finally a mission that actually seemed like fun. Being a genin means mostly taking on stupid missions like looking for lost cats, or delivering foods. In this mission not only would Aokiji be able to embarrass a body builder, but he'd be able to pick up gorgeous women, and if Hiyro was lucky, maybe Aokiji would throw some chicks his way.

"Ah, this is like the easiest mission, how are we getting paid for this? I'm kinda irritated that we get such simple missions though. I mean... I'm not mad, because this mission is cool, but they always give us these types of missions. Next we'll be baby sitting... we're ninjas trained to kill, shouldn't we like, idk... kill or something?" The Genin says dusting himself off, towards his Chuunin partner. "Whatever though, let's get this started." After this he'd begin heading towards the body building contest. The beach was beautiful, the women were better. It was around 70ish and the skies had cleared up, luckily... What a nice day.

Huge bodied dudes walk around in thongs all oiled up, trying to show off their body's to be judged. Aokiji doesn't pay any mind to that weird shit, instead staring at all the oiled bodied women in 2 pieces. He lights another cigarette and begins to grin, ready to complete this mission. Once he makes it to the arm wrestling contest, he'd pass his jacket to his ally to hold, and begin. The first 3  contestants were so easy, he damn near broke their arms, the final 3 were a bit harder, requiring his taijutsu training to actually push through and win. The final guy had massive muscles, they were toned and he had on a Kumo headband, he was a ninja. This guy obviously had ninja training, but the size of his muscles were too big for him to be anything higher than a Taijutsu adept. Aokiji knew he wouldn't win this fairly, so he slightly attached chakra threads to the mans arm, and when the contest started, jerked his arm down, giving the Genin the win.

"HA! All those muscles and you still lost!" The man jumps up and charges at the boy. "HEY, YOU CH-" But before he can finish talking Aokiji elbows him in the throat swiftly, knocking him out. "Hey, you guys saw that, he attacked me." He'd grin and say. The next task was easier, just pick up women. Well he did just win an arm wrestling contest, so the women came to him. About 3 really attractive women approached the duo, Aokiji wrapped his arms around two of the girls and let his partner have the last one. "Alright bruh, first two parts down." He says with a cheeky grin.

The final part was hard though, because he'd have to show his scarred body. He allowed the girls to take off his shirt, now revealing his damaged body, with scars and burns everywhere. At first the girls are shocked, then they are aroused by his manliness. The two women rub oil on his body, and he starts the final part. While the judges don't really like his scarred body, they like his poses and confidence. The boy wins and completes the missions. "Now what?" Aokiji says with both women under his arms.
One of the girls started whispering something into Aokiji's ear which made his eyes widen, along with his grin. The blood in his member begins to rise, but stays hidden well under his black pants. Before he can dip off with these two thots, his partner tells him of the next mission they need to accomplish. "Grave digging... we need to help dig some holes for the funeral department." "Ugh." he says rolling his eyes. Grave digging?! How boring and tedious, like... what? Now the two would be required to grab shovels, or whatever, and begin digging up dirt and tossing it aside, which would probably take hours of exhausting and hard labor. "This is basically like baby sitting, we're back at square one." Aokiji says, really irritated.

Girls don't like graveyards, they like beaches and having fun, so the two girls shoot the Genin a look. He takes his arms from around the girls necks and sighs "Guess this is it ladies... I have your numbers I'll call you two I guess." He says, walking off. They wave and just go onto the next man, man these hoes ain't loyal. On the way to the graveyard the boy lights another cigarette, closes his eyes and almost glides, he's so at ease.

While the beach was all sunny and happy, the graveyard was all cloudy and obviously moody. It was a huge graveyard, stretching out at least 10 football fields, with tombstones everywhere. This was Kumos special graveyard, for Kumogakure members only. Once they've arrived, the Genin waste no time digging up the graves, once he's like 3 holes in he'd turn to his partner, who was upset over whatever. So Aokiji places the shovel in the ground and pats his partner on the back, asking "What's up man, you good?"
Obviously something was wrong with the boy, but at the moment Aokiji couldn't be bothered. He was already done with three, and he had a lot more to dig, so he'd have to pick up his pace to finish before night time. Why before night time? Because zombies that's why. Who wants to be in the dark with a bunch of zombies and some emotional ass Chuunin as his backup? Not this guy, that's for damn sure. So, after shrugging, he picks back up his shovel and goes in. At this point Aokiji is shoveling so fast you could blink and he'd already dug a hole 2 feet deep. In about 10 minutes 25 holes were dug, with the boy showing no signs of slowing up. This ceases when he gets a splinter on his hand, requiring him to stop and yelp in agony.

"FUCK! AHHHHH WHAT THE SHIT MAN!" Quickly the boy reaches into his backpack and pulls out alcohol, ointment and bandage wrap. He then treats and dresses the wound before popping two pain killers and puts on gloves so he wouldn't repeat the mistake. Before he can start he notices his partner walking off, looking all sad and shit. "Excuse me for a moment, Aokiji-San." Something was up, maybe he had love ones here. The boy slams his shovel into the ground and slyly follows his partner, seeing what was up. Hiryo places a rose on two tombstones, holding back tears. Yeah, these two were people he lost, parents perhaps? Aokiji doesn't like facing things like this, emotions and stuff, but obviously this dude needs help. A warm hand would be placed upon the young Genin's shoulder, with a warm smile following.

"Bitter winds of winter  
but later, river willow,
open up your buds."

After this the Genin pulls incenses from his bag, lights them and places them on the tombs. He then prays. "They're in a peaceful place my friend. Dwelling will only bring you pain." After this Aokiji walks off to finish the last hole, these two were done with this mission.
"Our next mission is yet another chicka one but instead this time... It is with a very sexy model.. he has issued a challenge to anybody.. who can pick the most chicks up. His name is Kise and he is the most famous, male model in the entire world so it is going to be hard... we just need some very good, intelligent pick up lines... Since you did good before... I think it is right that you perform this mission too!? I'l try support?" "

"This is allll you man! Last time I really had to put in work, I don't have any mojo left in these old bones. It's up to you to bring your A-Game, I'll support you. It's easy really, just dig deep inside and bring your Mr. Freaknasty out, and just lay it on the table. Believe me when I say the females will love it. I'll try my best to intimidate this asshole though, Kise is his name? I'll give him the stink eye, pull down his pants when he's not looking, put itching powder in his drink, all of that. Just do it bro." He says with a laugh and patting his partner on the back.

Once the two men arrive at the place of this mission, Aokiji notices immediately a couple beautiful women. He conceals his excitement, and motions for his partner to start on the mission with a head nod. "You got it, go!" He says. Now Aokiji begins to study the male model, Kise. Dude wasn't even all that special, plus Aokiji could tell his dick was small. What do women see in him? Obviously there's more than meets the eye. So with his ninja skills, he slyly hides in a crowd and spies on the model. Apparently he was using genjutsu on women, which made sense. Swiftly Aokiji headbutts the guy and gives him a stern look, saying "Nah. Do it fair or quit."
The rival model would try his hardest to actually pick up women using his looks alone, but the big red mark on his forehead and his unsteadiness from the headbutt would turn most away, once the contest ended the man had about 20 women. A stern look on his face would tell the two boys that he wasn't pleased, but Aokiji couldn't do much but laugh in his face. "HA, SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU DIRTY CHEATER!" He falls to the ground clutching his stomach, laughing so hard when the model starts tearing up. With Kise's display, about 15 of his girls go over to Hiryo, making him the official winner. "WE HAVE A WINNER!" An announcer says "With 125 women, our new champion is the Kumogakure Chuunin Hiyro!" A big round of applause follows, with Aokiji himself clapping. The Genin approaches his partner, still clapping with a huge smile "Good job man, mission complete." "Oh no it's not!" Says the shamed model. He forms a few hand seals and summons twin spears, chucking them both at the two boys. Without even moving his feet, Aokiji catches both spears by the tips, using his thumbs and index fingers. "Nah." He says, throwing both of them back, hitting the model in each shoulder. "I guess mission complete, now what?" He says as the sun completely sets, with the moon and the lanterns glowing the entire area. "I'm guessing this last mission will be the strongest, so I'm ready." The boy says, stretching, with the former handsome model in the background screaming.

The competition lasted throughout the night until the day, with the sun now beginning to rise. That snake Kise got what he deserved and the young Chuunin had probably received at least 60 phone numbers, he had to, these girls were all feeling the young lad, and Aokiji somehow caught a few numbers himself from these ladies, all in heat. If he had enough time he'd set up some orgy, Hiryo had to be a virgin. By the way things were looking though, this last mission would be a doozy.

This mission is by far the hardest. It is a B-rank mission which already means its the highest mission you have probably gone on. A few sightings of rare beasts have been reported in these mountains - which is normal around these parts, however these sightings are starting to get more common lately only because the beasts seem to be rampaging and attack travelers and such. We need to find out why they are attacking the travels and try and immobilize them and sort them out so their rampages can stop. Do not kill these rare beasts unless your life is on the line."

"I'm ready, but I'll have to admit this mission seems wayyyy more challenging than than our others. Even the falling rock mission seems the lack in comparison to this one, because if these beasts attack travelers and caused enough problems to make this a B-ranked mission, how can you expect me to hold back and not kill them. I'll really try my goddamn hardest, but geez man... I like living."

Aokiji says scratching his head and closing his eyes. The duo arrive at the scene, and again the Chuunin rushes off without a warning, leaving Aokiji standing in place, slightly confused. He rushes off to find out why these beast were attacking people and so aggressive. A cave is found, hidden on the mountain's side. A low buzzing sound emits from this cave, luring the boy in, puppet threads in hand. A bald, short, white, old guy with these big ass glasses can be seen typing into this giant computer, hooked up to all these machines. Two large speakers send out this high pitched screech, causing a few wild beast in these cages go crazy. Apparently this mad scientist was the cause of this.

"Hey you... stop this shit." Aokiji says, no remorse in his voice, eyes colder than winter's chill.

"HA! You found me, well let me explain my evil master pla-" Before he can finish his sentence Aokiji rushes the man and begins to pummel him, then hanging him via charka threads, by the throat. He chokes to death, and Aokiji shuts off the machine, releasing the beast, who kinda bow to him, then shoot off into the air, to be free. Aokiji approaches his ally and nods. "We're done mate, mission complete!" He says, before disappearing. Finally, the boys are done.

-Story ends-

At the end of the day Juri is panting hard with a few burn marks, both of her trainers are also breathing hard. "I guess that's it!" She says, patting each trainer on the back. "What a complicated element compared to earth." "That's because you're used to taking things head on like a rock, Miss Raikage. But I must say, your personality matches fire!" The elemental ninjutsu trainer says, dusting herself off and smiling. Juri nods and says "Both elements match me, destructive like a forest fire, unmoving like the earth. Son Goku, what do you think?" She asks, almost as if she's wanting his approval. "Hmmmm..." the beast begins. "I believe once you train Lava release, a new world of opportunities will come your way, Juri-chan." With that the woman holds back a tear, knowing that the two are finally friends. "Heh, don't get soft on me now Ape-Sama." Son Goku chuckles, approving of his new nickname. It looks like this friendship, sealed in lava, will consume everything.
