-Dream-

Ookami Burke sat on the bottom of a very moist tree in the middle of a forest; a slightly dense mist clouded the area making it hard for villagers and untrained ninja to see in. The young jounin sat there petting his pet wolf Seiobo. She laid next to the young ninja with her brilliant white fur, eyes half closed and relaxed. He simply looked out into the distance, distracted by his over active mind. All he could think about was his lack of power in his village, though he was one of the most important Jounin around.

Seiobo or "Peach" raised her ears while her eyes were still closed, she heard something. Next her head rushed up with her body following. Her fangs were drawn and she began growling, alerting her master. Ookami slowly rose off the wet grass and wiped himself off, drawing his katana. The wolf had took a defensive stance and began barking at the approaching person, walking across the water. The landscape of the area was simple... the giant pond in front of Ookami and a vast amount of tree's behind him. The pair, and oncoming woman, had been deep in the woods, with Kiri about half a mile behind the Jounin.

Ookami calmlu held onto his blade, not really getting defensive. Peach was just a wolf barking to alert her owner of somebody nearing... not much to worry about. Of course as a ninja of Kiri Ookami was always calculate of his life and what was going on around him. He performed his Doujutsu, emitting a sonar like pulse that read the woman's location and her chakra level. She didn't try hiding it so he realised she had a high level, meaning she must be a powerful ninja. Lv. 1 was all it took for this infomation, so basically no chakra was needed to learn about this woman's. Ookami starting walking towards the woman, with peach abit behind him, and smiled.

"Stop right there... who the hell are you? I know you aren't a ninja of Kiri and I know you're pretty tough, so are you a Konoha ninja? Suna?" the man would say holding his katana with one hand on the handle, the other on the sheath. His pet, Peach, would begin walking around the woman as she walked on the water like a ninja. Ookami was bored and looking for a fight... so no matter who she was she'd have some trouble ahead of her.
The Jounin was unfazed by the woman's speed, it amazed him even in the least bit. Okay she was fast... cool. Burke members can track damn near any speed. Her entire body had water molecules on them and she had been in his range. She hadn't insulted him, she was simple trying to get to her destination... what she had done was alerted Ookami that indeed she was a pretty good ninja. Her technique wasn't a flicker, but something abit faster that wasn't a basic ninja skill.

He deduced she had some sort of motives with Kiri, good or bad it didn't matter. He was bored and needed to be entertained. The man simply flickered in front of the woman with his blue eyes shining, blue tears leaving blues line on his face, holding his sword up. The distance between them was enough for the man to point his katana's sheath in her face, almost touching her forehead. A light grin would befall his face as he attempted to cause a fight between the two. His "dog" remained behind the woman, in a defensive stance, ready to rip the woman's throat out.

"I'll ask you once more before I slit your throat and toss your body into this pond... who are you and where are you from?" He'd say with his signature grin appearing.

-Wakes-

Sora was tired. Even after a long slumber, his eyes were heavy and body didn't want to move at all. Just last night he had been out on the town with a couple of his other Genin friends. Now since these kids were all around 13-16, he couldn't get into his usual partying ways, so last night they just spent all night at an arcade. A certain "Ninja simulation" game really caused the boy to become sore after about an hour of non-stop playing. It required far too much for a genin, and was aimed towards Chuunin and up, yet Sora didn't back down. Of course once he was done with the game, and collected his tickets, the boy realized he had to finish his training once and for all. Maybe 10 more minutes...

-Dreams again-

It was a calm, misty day in the middle of the Kiri forest. The temp was around 72 and everything was calm and full of life. A young Kiri ninja by the name of Ookami Burke was sitting down on a tree branch waiting for his step-brother to arrive. The two had been really great friends since their parent's married, and we already known for their destruction tag-team. Today the two would discuss their plans for the future.
A slight breeze rolled in, swaying the tree's slightly back and forth. The taste of the salty sea stained the windy air as always in Kiri. Ookami didn't mind the salty air, because most Kiri villagers get over the burning sensation as children. He simply smiled thinking about the times the wind actually burned, though when he realised he was no longer alone the smile faded. A calm, slightly dull expression replaced his smile once he saw Mazilo. He needed to pass the time until his brother arrivaged so he spoke.

"Sup. I'm Ookami Burke. Who are you?"

Scan around, like most Jounin, to make sure he was allow and no squad had been near to ambush him. Being a ninja in this world, peace is only a dream, death is around all corners. Keep in mind ninja have just taken over, KKG are sought after and his happened to be powerful. The Burke family members are always vilgalent. While scanning the area though he noticed a little girl with basically only underwear and armor on. What parents in their right mind would let her wear something like that was his thought, though he was interrupted by his little brother.

"Hey Long Time No See"

Ookami grabbed his brother by the neck, putting him in a one armed chokehold and began messing up his hair. "I told you to be on time Kaien-kun. I may have had a date with a beautiful woman and missed it waiting for you." this was a joke. Though many women love Ookami for his status, wealth and apperance... he has no idea what to say to them other than talking about jutsu and fighting... this makes for an ackward date. The running gag with his brother and him is the fact that Kaien gets more women than Ookami does, though he's the younger brother.

"We have company, see brother?" he'd say pointing to the slightly hidden girl, making her presence known.
The older brother put a cigarette in his mouth and lite it with his uber awesome lighter. He inhales deeply and closes his eyes, letting his guard down abit. He was still tired from his previous mission a few days ago. It was A-Ranked and basically required the use of his Doujutsu for 10 straight hours! He has trouble with stamina so this wore him down abit, though he completed the mission making everything okay.

"I'm still tired brother... that damn mission. This new Shinobe world is hard... watching our back's constantly, these crazy missions and training. I need a vacation or something, I hear Konoha around this time is nice. Maybe I'll get to take some time off or something." he'd say while blowing the smoke into the air. He looked back unto the little girl sitting there, she interested him.

"Hey kid. Why the hell are you just standing over there. Come here." he'd say making her presence obvious. "What you thought we wouldn't notice you? Me and my brother here are Kiri's best Jounin... like we wouldn't notice some kid hiding behind a tree." he'd saying grinning and turning his attention to Mazilo. "Who the hell are you as well? Are you two a couple or something... perhaps siblings?" Ookami was brash at times, but all around kind. He didn't like people hiding from him though. It pissed him off.

-Wakes-

His dreams haunt him. They were stories of his past life, a man long removed from this world. Ookami too was a swordsmen, he also was a Kirigakure ninja. Sora never gets to the part where his past self dies, but he's sure it was violent and abrupt. Exactly how Sora imagined he'd depart from this world. Two large feet touch the soft carpet below a twin sized bed, they carry a kinda tall 15 year old boy to his bathroom. Pissing while running the shower was just plain smart, but pissing in the shower would have been easier. Sora has this thing about cleanliness though, he finds balance in it. After a quick wash and dry, the boy walks back towards his room, covered by a towel. A beautiful woman smiles and stops him, she's wearing only a long button down T-shirt. "Hi Sora-kun..." she seductively says to him, with her hand on his bare chest. His face begins to blush, he places his hands over his now incoming erection. 'Fuck! Think of something sad, anything... uhhh dead puppies, old ladies! Uhhhh... FUCK!' he thinks to himself, trying to tame his wood. "Sora-kun what big muscles you have, just like your uncle... maybe someday I'll pay you a visit first." the woman black haired woman says, with her gorgeous green eyes staring into his handsome brown eyes. Anko is her name, and she's Sora's uncle's "friend". Getting pretty bold, the woman reaches for the Genin's hands, almost lifting them before, "Hey Anko, leave the boy alone, he has to train." A strong voice coming from the master bed room alerts the two, it was Sora's uncle. Anko smiles, kisses Sora on the cheeks and walks back into the master bedroom. Still blushing the boy shuffles into his room again.

Sora puts on his clothes, grabs himself a bento box and leaves out. "Uncle I'll be back in a few hours!" He says while closing the door behind him. The first stop was the library to study up on a few things. First the kid had to read up on the two skills he was training: Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu. He had been working on them for years, but to master something, you still need a little more help. It was a nice day in Kiri. Low mist, not many clouds and the temperature was around the 60's. Outdoor training seemed reasonable, maybe a little Suiton learning? In his blood the boy held the power to control Storm Release, but that seemed so far away from happening! All the years of training he had wouldn't compare to actually learning Storm Release. After thinking of how hard it would be to train, the boy didn't realize he was already in front of the destination. He scans his card, enters and finds the book he needs. The story of a legendary Hokage, a foolish one at that.

-The story-

A cloud passes the sun blocking it out for a couple of seconds, leaving the entire area abit cooler. Today was HOT, being like 92 degree's with partial clouds. Perfect for training was all the Hokage thought, perfect for work was all the elders spoke about. The night before Riku was out partying, though not hard enough (thankfully), just enough to put him on his ass for a good night's sleep. No hangover, no throwing up... just rested. This is probably the reason he decided to leave his office and train. Of course his Anbu guards followed him though, they had no choice... neither did he.

Wearing all black in this heat wasn't very smart... though Riku always found a way to avoid overheating while wearing his regular attire. He even brought along his Hokage jacket, just to test how he could react while wearing it. He planned on sparring with his guards, but... fate had another idea. The forest surrounding Konoha would be a great place to use high powered attacks, without having to worry about others. So of course once he reached the gates he'd keep on walking... the Hokage needs no permission to leave.

Anbu guards scanned the area ahead and found a man, keeping to himself. They warned the hokage of his presence, and told him they'd check to see if he was a konoha ninja. "It's cool, I'll check it out." The young man stated and walked into the general direction. The sensor Anbu guard noticed the chakra pouring from the man and stopped Riku immediantly... he was a ninja. "Oh perfect, hopefully he's strong." the bored Hokage would state. A couple quick handsigns and a stomp on the ground would read the man's current chakra level and his location.

Riku noticed the man was still relaxed, and had been standing in the same location... almost as if he realized he was being followed. Though he didn't attack... which meant he wasn't an immediant threat. Riku simply walked closer to the man and would smile, saying politely. "I know you sensed us, we've sensed you as well. Who are you, I've never seen you before in Konoha... are you a shinobe?"
The Hokage was interested in this man now as he spoke about being a rogue ninja. The Anbu guards got alittle alert, but Riku found this to be perfect. He could fight this man and not feel bad if her hurt him... he wasn't from his village. Riku would motion for his guards to block off the area using a barrier, and he'd smile half heartedly and look upon the rival ninja. "Let's play a game... If you beat me in a fight... we'll let you go. But if you lose... you're coming to Konoha as a prisoner."

Riku drew his swords and looked upon the swordsman... a battle of katana's would take place. Riku was a kenjutsu master, and his swords were the most powerful in Konoha. Hopefully his opponent wouldn't die from the first attack. Legs split apart, defensive stance prepaired... Riku was ready to kill. 12 Kunai and 8 shuriken shot towards the man, though the real attack came from a quick slash from Riku's left sword, while he protected himself with the right.
Hayato's opening attack was as destructive and rapid as a bullet train, smashing into a it's counterpart. The afterimage/exploding clone attack would have surely killed or injured almost any ninja, though Riku was one of the exceptions. Fast ninja are a dime a dozen, tracking their movement's and understanding their attacks are easier than casting a C-Ranked jutsu. Hayato's plan failed for a couple reason, one being the fact he created more than 1 clone/afterimage. The moment the clones/afterimages struck, the Hokage used his own speed to borrow into the ground, leaving above a little gift... a slew of bombtags that easily ripped apart the already explosive clones.

Under the ground three lightning clones would be formed, creating four Riku's in all. One Riku would stay underground, while the other two would become bombtag wrapped kunai. As Riku rose from the ground quickly, he'd stand about 15 feet from Hayato and grin, slightly yet firmly. This all happened the moment the explosion blew up, so Riku would still be hidden in the smoke abit. "Nice first attack, explosive clones huh? That seems dramatic." Riku would bounce off a tree and toss the twin bombtags, wrapped with wire, towards Hayato, but he'd follow the attack with another barrage of kunai and shuriken. They'd be tossed faster than the bombtag wrapped kunai, reaching the ninja faster, while the Riku underground would be making handsigns, hardly touching any earth. Riku would then draw his twin katana's again and rush towards his opponent staying behind the weapon barrage.
Ninjutsu is used in order to fool the opponent, not so much overpower them... and that's exactly what Riku just did. Little did his opponent know, Riku himself was one of the bombtag wrapped kunai. Once the weapons his clone threw made contact with Hayato's clone shuriken, Riku summoned Green Hornet and reversed all shuriken into the air, he then grab the one part of the wire, while his clone grabbed the other part and tied it to a tree. The two then wrapped the wire with bombtags, while the clone behind him rushed into the smoke to fight Hayato while they finished their plans. The clone underground would attack Hayato's clone, who the four thought actually was him, he used his earth stomp to locate both Hayato's and gave the other three the information. The underground clone would preform the Raiton Senbon attack, and fire 1000's of lightning needles from under the ground at it. While the clone in the smoke would charge full speed at Hayato (after he himself preformed Earth stomp) and slash towards his chest.

The bombtag flooded wire would be blocking part of the forest, allowing The real Riku and his other clone to corner Hayato in the smoke. The clone began preforming handsigns, while Riku held onto his Green Hornet and got into a defensive stance, waiting for his opponent to attack.
Hayato was pretty good in evading and countering jutsu effectively, he was able to destroy all three clones and find a way to hide himself underground. Almost instantly a forest of bones emerged from the ground with force, aimming to impale the young Hokage. Being bone it'll easily rip through Riku's flesh, but he was fast. His speed seal activated and he leaped into the air faster than the eye can track. His sword's were shealthed and sent away, ready for his counter attack. Four handsigns and he ripped a small hole at the top of the seal, from this point he preformed another set of seals and a large swamp, abit bigger the size of the barrier erupted from the ground. The bone forest would begin sinking into the swamp quickly, and if Hayato were in the forest he'd begin drowing. The Anbu guards simply put a protective wall around themselves, though it could only hold about 10 minutes of air. Riku stood on the top of the barrier, looking down at his opponent through the small hole he created for himself. Another set of handsigns would begin to be formed, just encase his opponent found a way out of his attack. Riku began to breath hard, getting winded from the rapid use of jutsu, though being an Uzumaki/Senju clan member he had alot of chakra left.
The Hokage jumped back, drawing his twin katana's again, eyeing his opponent with such vigor, one would think he's known him his whole life. He shealth his blades and told his guards to release the barrier, while he destroyed the massive swamp, while sinking the bones into it's depths. They each fell to their knee's of exhaustion and looked towards their leader, who began falling towards the ground. Riku landed gracefully and opened his mouth to say "How about this, one last attack... winner takes all. I see you're a swordsman... let's use our blades. If I win... you must become my special Guard." Riku drew his black tidal again, this time... winner takes all.
Riku watched closely as the clone was formed and began paying attention to both, but he had a feeling Hayato was a honorable man and wouldn't try anything. So he pointed his sword foward and changed his style to Mujushin. His body became relaxed, his eyes serious and his mind focused. The moment Hayato began activating the gates, Riku made began making one handed seals, activating Earth Step. Hayato disappeared to attack the most obvious blindspot, Riku's back, but the ES sent the info to Riku. He flickered slightly out of the sword's range, dodging the first attack; but the vaccum from the attack sucked the Hokage in... Bad move. He activated his speed seal, mid-flicker, and ripped his sword from it's sheath with such force and speed it would give a Sharnigan a hard time to watch. He aimmed a lightning fast strike at the man's chest, strong enough to split his skin back, causing prefuse bleeding, but the special part about the attack is... Hayato's own attack sealed his fate. The moment the vaccum speed up Riku himself, and the spin made sure he had enough time to dodge the sword slash. Once hayato aimed his attack at Riku, the hokage's blade would have already cut through his chest, and Riku would be five feet in front of Hayato's back, sheathing his sword already. The entire sword play would be faster than the Anbu guards themself could even see, but the moment the Hokage's attack was done they'd rush towards him.
"Hm?" It seems the clone the man produced had been one of the explosive clones he used eariler. Riku had miscalculated this factor only slightly, it seems he was using this as a replacement. Though it was too late, the clone was exploding and he was in point blank range, nothing could stop Riku from getting hit... though getting half of his back blown off couldn't stop a man with this endurance. The moment the clone began exploding, Riku (still using his speed seal) formed five handsigns and used his own body replacement jutsu... but instead of a clone, he used one of his Anbu guards. The explosion still hit though, the guard took the full impact, and the force and flames still burned all open area's of Riku's back. His speed seal's usage was damn near done, forming 5 handsigns, (3 on one hand, two on the other) in 0.5 seconds required no thought, and a shitload of chaka. Once the explosion happened and the anbu guard took most of the damage, a big cloud of smoke would hide the man, and his last attack.
He used the last of his speed seal, the force from the clone explosion (which propelled him faster) and a flicker technique to aim a stab right into hayato's stomach. This attack damn near couldn't be seen from the sheer speed of everything that just happened, plus the smoke hiding his attacks. Also Hayato, who probably dropped his guard while standing in place, had began smiling, thinking the match was over. If the attack landed, one would noticed riku using his Oni blade, instead of his black tidal, which he dropped in order to form the handsigns. Burning flesh and clothing smells would fill Hayato's nose as Riku stood in front of the man, blade deep in his stomach. The Anbu would lay dead, while he allies rushed to his aid. The Hokage was ruthless when it came to battle...
Hayato had pinned his blade down but, Riku lifted the blade easily and cut through the bone as he added his samurai saber technique into it. The oni blade was an A-Ranked weapon, boosted by a B-Ranked technique, bone was only as hard as metal. Swordplay came into factor here (something his opponent had all but ceased to use lol) and Riku was a Kenjutsu master. His attack was sidesteped, giving him space for another attack. The moment the blade cut through the bone he'd preform his quick draw attack again, this time aimmed at Hayato's chest for a deeper cut (also it would be faster due to the lighter sword). Riku then would rapidly push his body towards his opponent's. Hayato's wind attack would be fired at Riku, who would switch style, roll off of Hayato's back (while dropping his sword slightly) and appear back in front of the man, while regaining his grip. He'd then preform a breakdancing flare and kick himself off the ground a few feet back.

-Back to reality-

-Sora dozes off-

Today would be a sad day indeed, the day a Missing-Nin would have to be slain by Ookami. It truly wasn't anything personal, Ookami just had to collect the reward. The cost of living as a Missing-Nin has gone up, collecting the heads of rival Missing-Nin is saddening, but worth it. The White Haired Oni had been gaining info on Sira Kyurai for a few weeks now, trying to find a proper plan of attack. He routed the enemy around the outside of Raigakure, and began taking proper procedures. The location of said enemy had to be stopped before he (or she?) could enter the gates, because Ookami was Raiugakure's public enemy number one. In full gear Ookami would come out from the shadow of a tree and stand with two twin katana in his hands, staring at his target. "Your journey ends here, sorry about this." he says ready to end this man (or woman's?) life.
A woman carrying a giant blade appeared to be this Sira Kyurai, she was equal in height and presenting herself to be a bad-ass. Ookami didn't care for the appearance, but the actual skill set the woman. Ookami was the most known missing-nin in the lands, so upon sight this woman already knows a few of his skills. This comes as a disadvantage, but at the same time will serve as the perfect tool of intimidation. Once she opens her mouth the man activates his Byakugan and waste no time attacking. Chakra engulfs the twin blades held by the man, and a grand flash of chakra explodes towards Sira with furious speeds. This technique requires no hand signs and should land the moment her buster blade began whirling its blade. If hit the technique would leave deep cuts in her body, causing her to bleed out in 10 minutes if not treated. Though this may no have been a 100 percent, so if this didn't work Ookami has a backup plan.

Say Sira blocks the attack, once she activates her genjutsu, Ookami sinks into the ground and begins to travel underneath trying to trace her. She jumped into the air, so he wouldn't feel her presence until she lands to strike where she assumed he'd be. A'last the man had moved about 5 meters to the right of his previous location, though she wouldn't know this. Now with her on the ground he could destroy her. He sensed her location and fires 2 wooden spikes from underneath the ground aimed at her, in her blind spot of course. The speed of this would hardly occur in about a second, leaving her with no time to counter. This is of course if she countered the first technique, but she seems strong, she should be able to.
As expected the first attack the White Haired Oni directed at Sira was countered effectively, luckily the second attack landed. Sira must not have noticed the wooden spikes that protruded from the ground, fired straight through at her chest. A relatively easy technique, but still powerful enough to kill even an S-ranked ninja as he just proved. Now the spikes were about 5 feet in length, and once they hit the woman in her chest, first the force would knock her off her blade, second they'd hit vital points, causing her to bleed out, gasping for breath. At this point the genjutsu would end, she couldn't maintain it while hanging onto dear life. Ookami rises above ground again, grabs her buster blade and slowly makes his way towards her. "I'm sorry it had to end like this, but you had to die for my dream to live... nothing personal." he says with a sad look. He lifts her sword and slams it into her chest, killing her instantly. Ookami just felt bad he left her in pain for those few seconds, but she made it difficult. Now Ookami's first thought was to just leave, but then again he noticed that this beautiful blade didn't have a master, and usually a swordsman that falls in battle wants their killer to own their favorite blade, so Ookami honored Sira by carrying her blade with him on his shoulders. "See you soon..." he mutters and walks off as a storm approaches.

Wandering around a vast amount of land alone isn't very fun, especially when you're a wanted man, marked for death. People tend to either avoid you or try to kill you, of course women love a bad boy. Getting laid is so much easiest for Ookami now than it has ever been... and he was known as the strongest Jounin that his village had ever brought forth! Well with that being said, Ookami wakes up in a bed with 2 female companions half-naked, the smell of sake and sweat stain the room. He rises, takes a swig of water and gets dressed before either of them can awaken. He remembers a time when he almost got captured because he slipped up with loose women, "Never trust these hoes..." his sensei Rooster-san would say. The sun had just rose, the air was crisp and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, God it was gonna be a beautiful day today!

The Missining-nin grabs his equipment and leaves the small Inn he had been resting in. He didn't really have any plans for this day, maybe he'd just train or drink some more... he still has no idea what he should do with his life at this point. Ookami truly was a missing-nin, but he wasn't "Evil", just independent. As a grown man he does what he wants, as a missing-nin he does whatever he wants. Maybe it'll come to him what he should do. Whether it be join another village, destroy a village, make a village, something cool. With a quick stop at a little breakfast restaurant, he's filled up and ready to go! The giant hollowed out hill was in full view on the road Ookami walked, maybe he'd stop in there and buy a postcard or something.

"What a beautiful day... I think I'll go steal some rice or something!" the man says as he heads into the rice paddy field. Using his ninja skills he snatches a half full bag of rice from a peasant farmer and disappears before anyone can see him. He laughs and continues to flee, heading south of the Land Between Lands.
Now here Ookami was, jogging along the road, heading to a place untold. When all of a sudden, a woman tried pushing his button, by using some kind of fire jutsu. She may have been coo-coo to attack a ninja like this, his swords can split most with the flick of a wrist. But it was okay, because Ookami was ready, and now he'll make her want to hug her teddy.

Ookami continued jogging after stealing the bag of rice, still nowhere to go really, just somewhere. Some how the weather changed from clear to raining and stormy in like 5 seconds, which was fucking weird. "Jeez... the weather in the Land of Rice is weird." he says while looking around for a tree to hide under. He spots someone though, rushing in his direction. He assumed it was a farmer trying to get his rice back, but upon closer look with his Doujutsu, he noticed it was someone else. A woman with pink hair and a blade, she was coming right towards him with speed. "Oh fuck, is she from a brothel I forgot to pay, ah damnit. I think this rice will serve as currency." he says to himself. She begins forming hand signs that he knows all too well, which makes him lose his air-headed attitude and get serious. He prepares his own technique to counter this jutsu. Once the fire dragon erupts from her mouth, his Vacuum Palm is shot from his hand and extinguishes the flames, using some of the rain to help out. Thunder roared throughout the sky, how poetic. Ookami drew his twin blades and began dashing towards the woman."I hope you aren't after the bounty on my head, I don't leave survivors when it comes to that!" he yells to her with a straight face, byakugan still active.
Ookami dashes towards his foe and rapidly cleaves through her head as if he were chopping weeds from a garden, without any emotion or hesitation. The enemy lies there dead, her neck up amputated. He shrugs and picks up her twin Kiba blades and grins, knowing he'd be able to do magical things with these (if he had the lightning release); and then it hits him... he had a goal in mind. "Collect all 7 Legendary Swords... there's a goal!" he smiles and walks in no particular direction, he needed information on these blades.

-AWAKE-

A loud "THUMP" awakens the sleeping boy who had his face buried in a book about a previous Hokage. Even though he had been studying a Kage, his dreams were about his past life again. Checking the clock, Sora realizes he's been sleep for an hour, wasting valuable time. Quickly eating his bento box in the library wasn't the smartest idea, because a librarian catches this and scolds him. "I'm sorry." A bow follows Sora's words. He then rushes towards the sparring dojo where he goes to test his skills. From the Hokage he learned placements of his feet and how to focus his body's positions. It seems to have gotten colder in Kiri though... but with all his clothes on the boy can barely feel it. Once Sora enters the dojo eyes shift to him, with a couple higher ranking shinobi looking to test him. After a quick stretch the boy is quickly challenged by a Chuunin to a Kenjutsu duel. Of course safety is key, so the two use Bokken. Sora sets his feet in the recently learned position, and watches his opponent closely with his sharp eyes. Once the rival ninja aims a strike towards Sora he parries and counter attacks with swift speeds, landing five rapid jabs into the man's body. He had won this duel, and proved to himself that he could indeed fight at a higher level.

His victory was cut short by an angered group of about 10 Chuunin who wanted revenge for their embarrassed friend. "Hey kid, you cheated, that bokken must be lighter than his and you must have planted weights in his. Our guy here would never lose to such a weak Genin like you." These words spoken by a fat 7 foot Chuunin that had a reputation of bullying Genin. Sora laughs and tosses over both Bokken in an effort to show he wasn't cheating. "Nah, I don't cheat." The bully knocks the bokken aside and frowns. "Ya tryna hit me kid?" The injured loser gets up and points at Sora "Y-Y-Yeah, he cheated! Let's fuck him up!" He screams, rallying his bully gang. Sora spits and cracks his knuckles. "I never cheat, and if you idiots want a fight I'll oblige, I never run away from a battle." Without warning the gank rushes the swordless Genin, who has to bounce back into a wall and grabs another bokken. He's facing 10 Chuunin, 4 are armed with swords, 3 bokken and the others are bare fisted, including the boss bully. For a couple seconds Sora is able to counter their attacks and hold them off, but the big bully sneak attacks the boy from behind and kicks him in his back. Once Sora falls the others begin to wail on him, beating him into the ground. This ass whooping goes on for about 2 minutes before a fluid like beam of lightning shocks all the jerks.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. For Oni and his uncle, it was both. You see... since it was Oni's birthday, his uncle Riku decide it would be best to take his nephew out on the town. This included going to bars and strip clubs... for a 14 year old boy. Everything was going well until the two got caught in this swanky strip club with the nastiest looking "performers" in all of Kirigakure no Sato... no... in all of the Water Country. Like, this is a major village, why are these women so horrid looking?! Oni, who was drunk, decided to speak out against these beast called women, and got into a fight with a few of them. Bouncers quickly threw out the pair, but Oni was just happy he saw boobs. Once the duo got home, the young genin instantly crashed on the couch, while his more mature uncle called up a "friend" to keep him company.

After 12 hours of slumber, the boy woke up sweaty and stinky. He takes a shower and looks for his uncle. Riku is passed out under the sheets of his bed, with a note from the girl saying "It was fun." Oni taps his uncle on the shoulder. "Hey, Uncle Riku, today you promised to train me to use lightning and stuff! Hey!" he says, trying to nudge his uncle awake. Being young meant Oni barely felt the ill effects of drinking, unlike his aged sensei. Finally the older man wakes up and nods, getting dressed and begins to head out with his nephew. "Hey did I ever tell you about when I used to be a Ronin?" Oni's eyes widen, knowing this was one of those times his uncle would open up and talk about his life to the young boy. "No, you haven't!" he replies eagerly. Riku smiles and begins.

-Flashback-


Clouds grazed the sky as small beams of sunlight peered throughout the land, which was between Sora no Sota and un-claimed terroritory. The land had small villages, with inns and farm lands spread out, not completely a village, but on the verge. This particular area had mostly Inns and small resturants, owned by rich Sato business men trying to build their own vacation town. A pale man with a huge amount of white hair, wearing like 5 swords on his body, walked through this town looking for something. What was it? A growling noise emiited from his stomach, revealing his motives... he was hungry.

"Goddamn my stomach... I only have like... enough money for lunch. Where the f*** am I gonna get money for dinner from?!" He'd say slightly irritated and very hungry. People around would stop and stare at him for carrying around a few weapons. Outside Ninja weren't popular in these parts. Even though it wasn't Sato, if you weren't wearing that headband you were easy prey for the bandits or other Sato ninja. He was a marked man already.

Once Riku found the resturant he sat down in a booth and ordered a bottle of cheap sake and a big meal composed of rice, steak and veggies. "Oh God yes!" he'd say and begin chowing down. After finishing his meal, and two more bottles of sake, the man had finally been full, though remembered he had no money for dinner. A slight buzzed Riku paid for his dinner and left out the resturant. A group of ten bandits surrounded the man staring at him with greedy eyes. They laughed and grinned, causing other villagers to go inside and lock up, knowing of the future... a fight would occur.

"Hey there stranger, you seem to be lost. You see... this is the Broken Blades land... and you're intruding without paying the toll." the so called boss would say while holding a large, 12 foot axe over his shoulder. "I really don't feel like taking out the trash today, come back when my head stops spinning." He'd say, sobering up. Three bottles of cheap sake won't get him drunk, just buzzed until he chooses to get alert. "What did you say?!" one of the lackeys would retort angry. Riku simply attempted to walk through the crowd of bandits, though one impatient fool decided to attempt aimming a slash at his open back. Without hesitation Riku ripped his silver katana from it's sheath and cut open the mans throat like a letter opener to mail. The others charged and while using the same single sword he was able to slice, chop and stab his way through the 8 bandits in like... 5 seconds.

The boss, finally having enough, slammed his weapon towards Riku. The ninja sheathed his silver sword and drew his black one in lightning fast speeds, then proceeded to cut through the entire Axe and chopped of the bandit's head without even changing his tired face expression. The blood was wiped of the weapon, and put onto his back. The 10 bandits were slain, and Riku once again had to flee before news of his presence reached his Ex-Village. "I wonder if they have any cash?" he'd say checking the dead bodies.

Riku would find enough money to keep him fed for a few more days, he burns all his cash on loose women and expensive sake. But he knew he couldn't waste it today, Sato ninja were hot on his tail. People were comfortable enough to come back outside, peering at the man almost like he stole something. He simply finished robbing the dead men and looked up towards this voice above him, who had enough courage to speak to a cold blooded killer. Obviously he wasn't afraid of some dude that dropped 10 dudes alone... in a few seconds. He began rubbing his neck and looked towards the man with curiousity.

"I rarely get money, so I have to make due with what I can. Usually some idiot bandits, rouge ninja, or a team of assassins come after me. The assassins have nice weapons, but don't bring money since it's their mission. I mop the floor, collect the assets and live to drink another day." Riku would say looking at this new dude with a snake coilling down his waist. Must be his pets, or summons if the guy's a ninja. He was trying to figure this dude out... he might be a bounty hunter or on a capture/destroy mission. Riku kept his right hand in his hand, gripping a hidden katana. "I mean mutha fuckers should have noticed I have like 5 katanas... that should be a red flag alone to not fuck with me." he'd say raising an eyebrown.

"So what's your story? You don't really see villagers carrying around snakes and speaking so care free to a dude that killed the shit out of 10 bastards without breaking a sweat. You a bounty hunter after me? You a ninja?"

“ my story. Quite simple really, young boy with a disappointed father and a loving mother, and a wish to be better than his talented best friend. “ Those words awoke something in the young ninja. For he had a similar past. His father was a rich man, who pushed Riku into becoming a ruthless ninja of impectable power. His mother loved him with all her heart, so much she nearly died of heartbreak when he defected. Maybe this guy could make a good lifelong partner, or just a really strong ally... he'd have to find out. The towns people absolutely hated the bandits, they were bad for business... but they didn't like the way they were handled, escpecially since children were around. A few people grabbed the bodies of the fallen criminals and draggd them away from public eye. Riku shrugged and turned his attention back to this guy asking him for a spar.

"Sure, I love sparring. Fighting, drinking and women are my favorite things. But I have just one requirement... If I win, you join my clan and help me make my own village. It's kinda hard making a 1 man village sadly." he'd say laughing to himself abit. If the man agreed, Riku would begin dashing off to find a battlefield. One with a few trees and no civilians around. If the man disagred Riku would surely try changing his mind.

Riku thought over the proposal wisely... being somebodies bodyguard meant his own dream would slow him down. He wouldn't be able to create his clan if he had to protect some other dude. He trusted his own skills though, and knew it would take some what of a Demi-God to destroy him. So, he simply grinned and nodded, the deal had been accepted. "I can do that, just be your bodyguard. I don't have shit else to do..." he'd say while stretching. "Follow me." The young ninja would lead Aiden to a hidden spot in between the forest where they'd be able to fight without harming civilians, nature on the other hand... He dropped his carry along bag and drew a silver katana, keeping the twin behind his back. He rushed at Aiden giving him no time to think and aimmed a well placed slash going from the sky towards the ground at his torso, while keeping his sides aimmed towards the man, legs spread out. He was ready to move around in this spar, though not too much. The strike was powerful, but it wasn't a killing blow... Riku just wanted to test his new friends' skill.

Aiden countered the first attack with vigor, Riku had to react correctly in order to walk away safely. The first counter from the rival ninja was him using his bone sword to grab Riku's blade. It wrapped around the katana effectively, and still had enough length to rage at the ninja. Riku was quick though, and already facing sideways able to move away from the whip if he needed to. Though a lightning clone that awesomely was made without hand signs aimed a powerful kick towards Riku. In order to stay alive Riku let the whip hang onto the katana and began to dodge roll away from both the whips attack and the clone. The moment he began the roll though, he kicked the end base of the sword hard, at least making part of the whip follow. He wasn't aiming to kick the sword out of the grasp of the whip, simply loosen th hold. As he tucked 5 bomb tags were left in place of his footing where he stood, exploding both the clone and atleast knocking the whip away from his body. He continued to roll until he was at least 10 feet from the explosion and bounced up into the air back onto his feet using one hand. He drew the other silver sword and casted 4 handsigns with his free hand. H fired a barrage of lightning needles from a distance at Aiden, then stomped his foot onto the ground in order to track the mans' location correctly. The needles were aimed directly at Aidens' full body with speed and in numbers. Riku tightened the grip on his blade and keep his feet loose in order to move if he needed too.

Riku's light slice kick was still able to hit the blade and slice open his shoe. The blade hit his foot and split it open, barely breaking the skin though. Sadly he still was probably poisoned, meaning he'd have a hard time finishing this fight. His shoe was split open, not enough to hinder him moving, just enough for rocks to seep into his shoe. So he'd have to spend his sake money repairing his shoe. The lightning senbon he shot at his foe, came right back at twice the speed, though on his right side, the one his katana was on. The ninjas' footing were already loose and ready for movement so counter-actions were applied. Riku pointed the blade forwards extending the tip towards the incoming barrage, and emitted chakra, forming a circle like shield that took enough of the damage, and channeled the lightning through the end of his blade. All while this happened he began side-stepping away from the senbon.

While Aiden's body could take lightning attacks and poison, Riku's could take damage. He noticed that a single senbon was able to hit the top part of his shoulder. This of course meant he'd barely be able to move his upper right arm for a few seconds, so he grabbed his silver sword with the left hand. He could still cast jutsu on the right, just not lift it... making sword battles harder. "Goddamn it... first you split my shoe, then I learn you have poison, now you stun my arm. I don't feel like using that much chakra." Riku figured part of his rival out though... the test was good. Riku formed a few hand signs and created a lightning clone of his own that charged head on towards the man wielding a kunai in each hand. A trail of bomb tags dropped from his hands while he rushed, but were dropped only after he was 10 feet from Riku. Though the actions of said clone were hidden, the moment the clone dived in Riku tossed a smoke bomb, hiding the actions. Riku then cast another few hand signs and shot a lightning spear from his mouth aimed at his new friend. Though he dashed a few meters left after it shot from his mouth and kept moving, heading towards the trees.

Riku was beginning to feel the effects of the poison, even if it hit his foot his body couldn't handle poison very well. He knew he had to give in this round, his foolish mistake of under estimating his opponent cost him a victory in this spar. The clone had been rushing in blindly, he couldn't see in the smoke, but it didn't matter, he was a pawn apart of a plan Riku couldn't finish due to his positioning. Once the blade hit the clone, the twin kunai flew into the air, one landing slightly in front of Aiden, one towards his side. The lightning attack slowly coming at Riku  was countered once it hit the silver blade, it simply protruded though the back using the blades effect. The ninja was sick, but protecting himself from the attack was still priority number uno, he could still react. Riku began slowly walking towards the man, sheathing his sword once the smoke began to clear. By now Aiden would see a line of bomb tags set, ones Riku would simply pick up as if he'd dropped his toys rushing towards his home after recess. So calm, with a cool expression, one wouldn't think he was harmd at the moment or just got into a fight. After the last bomb tag was put back into his pouch, he looked over to his opponent with his big brimming glasses and said. "Yeah you win this, my body doesn't react to poision well." He didn't know th effects, but he knew he had to live.

Riku grabbed the blade, added his own chakra into it and felt the effects of the poision disapper. Aiden was true to his word, and an admirable man at that. He healed a poisioned man whom he'd never met, and just tried shocking him to near daeth. The wanderer smiled and offered a handshake "My name is Riku Burke, a wanderer from Sora no Sato." he'd then give a warm smile and walk over to his silver katana, picking it up and sheathing it.
Riku passes Aiden his sword back and picks up his road backpack. All his ninja supply, food and items were in it. Riku was alittle unsure about how he felt about being a bodyguard, but anything was better than being bored all day. "Yeah I do need newer shoes, maybe something abit more light so I can move better. I need to work on something as well, but I can be picked up on the road. Let's get to moving, but you're paying for the sake and food Hitake." the ninja would reply scratching his head and walking in no particular direction.

-Present-

On the battlefield Oni and Riku are locking swords, with both breathing heavy after a few hours of combat. Riku fires a lightning bolt, but Oni is able to effectively use his body as a conductor and shoot it back towards his uncle. Riku nulls the lightning but claps, proud of his nephew. "I think you may be ready to hear about your father Sora." Riku says, noticing Oni's face had changed from a smile, to a look of resentment towards the man that ruined his life. "I may be uncle."

-Riku's tale-

The dynamic duo of Riku and Aiden were traveling along, and had been for a small amount of time. They had just sparred a few days ago and just been traveling since. Riku had no idea where, but he didn't care, Aiden was a cool dude. The two didn't speak much, probably because they made a dramatic change so quickly... one doesn't just follow another person to the ends of the earth everyday. Riku's only regret was the fact they didn't get to have company from and beautiful female companions... his hormones were acting up. "I need some ass man..." Riku would say responding to Aiden's random question. "Uhh... I don't know, after the first 30 my humanity kicked in, If I would guess in the hundreds. I don't like thinking as the ones I've killed as humans though, just obstacles from keeping me breathing another day." The man wasn't violent or blood thirsty, he just had to act and be hardened when obstacles came. Today was nice, warm rays of sunlight beaming onto his face, not many clouds in the sky.

“So man… you sweet? In sweet I mean, are you interesting in having sexual relations in other men?” Riku stopped in his tracks and gave Aiden a look of pure fear. He was preying Aiden wasn't gay, because he slept by this dude. "Nigga what the fuck?!" he'd say with his voice cracking." , “It’s just you never know the kind of people you run into, and personally I have nothing against gays, but I’m just not into that. I just think I should know a little about you so that we can be better acquainted wouldn't you agree?” "Oh... thank God. I thought you were gay yourself. Naw man I don't fuck with dudes, I love women and women alone." he'd then grab a bottle of sake from his bag and sipped.He realized Aiden was just trying to understand more about Riku, so they could play off of each others strengths by knowing each other better. Riku always enjoyed speaking to friends, so he'd hope they could become close, Pause.

Aiden had asked him about dreams, Riku's first thought was his first dream to become a successful ninja. This dream he had since he was little, and he planned to accomplish it before he died. "Yeah... I do." Riku simply retorted to Aiden while walking with his hands on the back of his head. His dreams were something he didn't like opening up on at this moment yet. It was personal.

“When I was a bit younger. Heh about eleven years younger to be more honest, I was asked in class. What do I want to be when I grow up? Yah see as a kid I was very much like my brothers would probably describe me now. All said that they wanted to be great shinobi, and become kage, or great medics, one kid even said he wanted to be a rich man. When my teacher asked why? He answered back to her saying that he wanted to be a rich man, so that he could get all the shinobi and kages that money could buy and control them. “

This spoke to RIku because his father was a very rich man... so Rich he had indeed bought out past village leaders and kept them in check. Aiden continued and Riku just listened and nodded. Aiden was showing a personal side to himself, one Riku admired a bit, but knew Aiden still wasn't as deep as him. Once the light faded, Riku knew it was time to settle down as well. Riku was smart, but noticed things late at times. Aiden might have bn paranoid so he simply shrugged and said "Might be in your mind bro." Riku simply waited for Aiden to figure out if they were in a trap, but once Aiden told him someone was coming he drew his black tide katana. "Lets just hope it's nobody we have to worry about."

"Oh she's cute." the young white haired ninja spoke to his ally. "I bet her nipples are soft, she's young so I know she's tight." Riku would say jokingly while having a conversation with Aiden. Once his boss spoke of a challenge, Riku had no choice but to accept. He put away his heavy black sword and drew his light silver katana. The glasses on his face were fixed, shoulders were relaxed and stretched and knuckles cracked. "I'll cut her clothes off, though she'll probably take them off once she see's this blade two inches from her tits." Light foot steps trended from the relaxed ninja, he looked back at Aiden and said, while grinning "Don't blink, you might miss it."

Aiden spoke to the approaching woman with his super beautiful voice, one that Justin Bieber would only dream he could have. "Dear pretty, and I pray young devil. Will you tell two amorous strangers what luck they’re like to have?” 'That alone probably got her wet.' was the thought bubble that made Riku chuckle to himself. Once he was like... a feet feet away from the girl he'd open his mouth to speak. "Yeah, don't even speak. I don't care what you have to say. I don't care who you are, don't move or I might cut off your pretty little belly button on accident." With that, Riku spread his legs apart, his right side facing Kiyo and first sheathed his sword as if he was putting it away, but then ripped his katana out with furious speeds. He aimed an upward slash towards her robe, not deep enough to touch her skin, just rip the clothing open. The attack was so fast, Riku finished his blink once the attack was finished.

Once Riku about 5 meters away from Kiyo, she began a barrage of attacks. The moment she opened her mouth his hand began motion. He was taking no chances after being poisoned by Aiden a few days ago. Now Riku couldn't see the senbon since they were disguised by the poison mist, but this mfer's first instinct was flight. The young man was trained to combat poison, since his body couldn't handle it well. He had his sword in one hand, and formed a jutsu in his other, and submerged himself under ground while flickering backwards. The jutsu began the moment Kiyo's mouth opened, it basically happened like: Kiyo opened her mouth to use the poison, Riku had already been ready to move around since his kenjutsu style requires it, he flickered back by Aiden once the mist shot out her mouth and he burrowed into the ground before the senbon or mist hit.

He began digging 30 meters to the right of the Aiden while holding his breath encase the poison seeped into his hole. He'd leave behind a lightning clone while he continued to dig until he was about 40 meters away from Kiyo, the lightning clone preformed the Earth step and located Kiyo, then retorted the information back to Riku. While the real Riku would keep tabs on Kiyo, wherever she moved, he then popped back up from underground and scratched his head irritated. He was meters away from Kiyo and her jutsu, holding his katana irritated. He hated poision, and hated this woman was actually putting up a fight. If the poision found it's way towards him, he'd flee simply, but he was out of range of the attack. Now while he was meters away, the man began throwing kunai and shuriken at Kiyo, pinpointing her loaction using his jutsu. He didn't throw bomb tags or anything else overly tough because he couldn't kill her... he planned on stripping her naked.

-Present-

Oni is fighting off three of Riku's shadow clones using only his bare hands. "Uncle, all these tales are about-" Oni dodges a kick from one of the clones by ducking, then counters by tackling the clone and hitting it in the face with an elbow, dispersing it. He rolls left and hops up in time to parry attacks from both of the other clones. "-my dads life!" he continues. Riku is laying on his back, eyes closed, enjoying the peaceful beach sounds. "In due time, right now worry about these clones." He says, smiling still. It was a cold evening, and Oni had been tired. He'd been training with his uncle for a solid day, learning everything from Fuinjutsu, to Taijutsu, to a little genjutsu and even sensory skills! All this training was just overwhelming, but it had to be done, he had to gain strength. Oni eats a punch from a clone, but in doing so grabs his arm and throws him into the other clone, making both disperse. He falls to his knees breathing hard, but he hears footsteps in the sand. Riku stands over him with a smile and says "Now the real training begins."
