Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 8:52 am Post subject: Tempers Rise in the Desert Sun
The sun rose from the west, and right now, it was at its peek. Beaming down on the young Uchiha, hitting him with all its might, but the boy would not falter. He had made up his mind, now it was time to 'Make his bones', in a place worth making them. The dyed white strands of his hair feel in front of the once Konoha shinobi's face, as he walked lazily through the sands. He was supposed to have shed the headband miles back, but for some reason it continued to sit on his forehead. The thing which he fought so hard to get no longer mattered to him, this could be seen by the huge, hardened gray mark that ran through the Leaf Village symbol. Already tanned, Sairyou continued his journey to the Sand Village, he could finally see the huge village in the distance. Or could it have been a dream? He didn't know. Holding his hand up to block the sun from his face and get a better view, the Uchiha confirmed that it was indeed the village...but it was still several kilometers away. The dust rose in the air, as the boy took a seat in the hot sands. He had not dressed properly for the trip, but it didn't matter, because like all youth, he had stamina. Wearing his mesh black shirt with a gray cloak over it. Both the wrong color to be walking through the desert in. The sun continued to stare at him, as if it had a personal vendetta against him. Drawing in breath, and a lot of sand, Sairyou laid back in the warm sands, and closed his eyes, thinking that someone would wake him in a few minutes. His lips were parched, but he didn't realized it, he was just ready to be lost in his dreams. In his head he thought to himself...""Time to go home...."

Sol marched through the desert, back towards Sunagakure. He was nothing but lost in his search, the information gathered back in Kiri not helping him a bit. The trail suddenly ended, or was masked too well for he bounty hunter to find. Whichever it was, he was hoping to find some clues in the Hidden Sand - it could not be just a coincidence that Rera was there. She had some business with the Sand, that was un-doubtful. Whatever it was, Sol was determined to find out.
Suddenly, he noticed a black spot in the endless sands of the desert. When he walked closer towards it, it turned out to be a boy, lying in the sand. The kid was obviously drained and probably decided to rest a bit. This is how the desert claimed most of its prey, tempting them to lie down on the soft surface of the dunes. Sol walked up to the boy and noticed the crossed-out Leaf Village signature on his headband. A missing-nin... so young? Strange... He gave the Uchiha a slight kick in the ribs and said: Hey... you chose a bad place for nap-taking... get up. _________________

A slight anger raged through Sairyou, as he was awakened by a slight kick in his mid-section, by an unknown person. Forcing his eyes open slightly, the young boy looked at the man who had awakened him from his deathly sleep. The guy was kind of blurry at first, but the Uchiha had realized that, that was because his eyes weren't open all the way. Prying his eyes open all the way, making his pupils contract in the sun, as they began to burn. Now he could clearly see the person who had awakened him. The man wasn't that large, but he was intimidating, which made Sairyou wonder why he even bother to wake him, instead of letting him die under the sun. In the sky he could see vultures flying around him, waiting for him to croak, it wouldn't happen now. Laughing slightly, the young missing-nin finally realized that he had no saliva in his mouth to go on the way he was going. The laugh was stifled by a large cough, as he rolled in the sand, basically begging for water, though the words wouldn't come from his mouth, they couldn't. Whenever he tried to talk, it sounded as if he was croaking like a frog, instead of mumbling words. The sand chocked him, as he jumped to his feet, and began running about, till her tripped and fell on the ground, and began to whole process of rolling again. In his mind he thought to himself, "C'mon guy...help me out a bit!!!" The words wouldn't escape his head though.

Sol watched silently as the boy began trashing around. The desert was merciless, and even as one have seemingly escaped its clutches, it still tried to claim their life. Kids these days... not only choosing one's way to be the way of the ninja, but also betraying their home village... The bounty hunter did not move for a while, waiting for the Uchiha boy to stop and calm down, but that didn't seem to happen. Finally, when the kid's agony was at its peak, Sol grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and poured water in his mouth from a flask he had with him. _________________

After thrashing around for a couple of minutes, the boy found himself grabbed by the neck, and held in place by the lingering being. The soothing clear water went down his throat, as he drank it down with the up most eagerness. After taking a few swallows, Sairyou finally came back to his senses, and grabbed the back of his shirt, yanking it out of the other mans grip. His breathing was slightly labored, as he said, "What do ya want....all in the desert...helpin me...I don't trust ya." After finishing his sentence, the boy looked out to Sunagakure no Sato again, and stated, "A Uchiha in the Sand Village...who woulda thought?" As he said this, he grabbed the Konoha headband from his head, and dropped it into the warm sand. Dropping to his knees, Sairyou began to bury the metallic burden that kept him in the Leaf Village. Hopefully the man wouldn't turn traitor, and tell anyone of his heritage. He could only hope.

Sol ignored the boy's comment about trust, or rather, lack thereof. He watched the boy bury his damaged headband in the sands for a few seconds, thinking where he should or should not speak to him. After estimating all cons and pros, he decided on the former. You should be thankful, kid. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead already. Twice dead at that. I don't want anything with you, but I just couldn't see someone in need and walk past them. He rested his large rectangular sword on his shoulder and sighed. He was quite good lately, helping people all around him. That wasn't his usual behavior, since the one with all the problems was himself. I want to ask you one thing. Why become a ninja at all and then betray your village? _________________

Sairyou listened to the man talked, everything he seemed to say was true, in one way or another. Would another have come through this part of the desert before the vultures got him? After hearing the guy speak some sense, the Uchiha stood to his full height, as he listened to Sol ask him about leaving his home village. A smirk crossed the young boys face, as he bellowed, "Well...I was all for Konohagakure no Sato, I studied to become one of the villages greatest. But instead of being applauded for my love of my country, I was only shunned by the one known as 'Renima'...the now kage. If failure wasn't bad enough, the guy had actually chosen a blind girl over me, when the choice had to come. And it wasn't because she was better...but because I was more seasoned and he wanted a harder task...." Sairyou's voice trailed off, as he now had a sour look on his face, as if he had drunk sour milk. Taking in a deep sigh, the boy continued his speech saying, "I figured maybe I could get a new start in Sunagakure no Sato...or anywhere for that matter, then when I become a known name....the Hokage will remember me, and he will know what he has given up." Though he was only eleven, Sairyou was very deep, but of course he was not like this for no reason. In his life, he had always been brushed off no matter how good he was, or how much he tried. No one seemed to care in Konoha...maybe someone else in the world would.

Renima, huh...I've heard the name before. Master illusionist of the Hidden Leaf... a total wuss if you ask me. How did someone like that become a Hokage is beyond me... well, it's not my problem either. Sol kneaded his neck with a loud cracking noise. He carefully observed the boy. However conceited his words might have sounded, the bounty hunter saw there was some truth to them. The man's trained eye could see great potential hidden within this boy. The boy has great potential. I wonder whether he would be able to apply it properly.Proving oneself in the eyes of the others... that's a bad goal, kid. One who is truly strong knows his worth. He does not seek approval from others, whether these others are strong themselves or not. Having said so, Sol yanked his sword and stuck it into the sand below. Have you recovered your strength yet? _________________

After hearing Sol's words, the young boy had already figured out where this was heading. He eyed the blade, as it plunged into the ground, and stood with an astounded look on his face. Drawing in breath like he always does before a fight, Sairyou drew a kunai from inside of his cloak pocket, as he slid his right leg in front of him, and put his left arm out front. Holding the kunai sideways, the Uchiha face had no emotion on it, but his emotions were given away when he spoke, "I'm always in top shape for a fight...strength comes from within." Furrowing his brow, Sairyou examined the man with his darks eye, trying to find any soft stops that may be vulnerable or weak. The size of the guy is what worried him, but his facial expressions would not betray him...they never did. Rubbing through his hair with his free hand, as if thinking, the boy quickly ran a few steps forward in the sand, as he kicked off the blade that Sol had plunged into the ground. In the air, the ex-Konoha shinobi threw the kunai, as he was falling feet first to the ground. Grunting a little, Sairyou clinched his right fist, throwing it at the head of his now opponent, and once savior. Landing firmly on the ground, with his head held low, the boy pondered the outcome of his attacks.

The sudden attack did not catch Sol with his guard down. The bounty hunter caught the kunai in mid-flight and simply tilted his head in a lazy fashion as the boy's fist came at him. Damn kids... why do they take everything as an excuse for a fight? He did not make a counter move, simply standing in place. When the Uchiha have landed, the bounty hunter said: I didn't mean it like this, idiot. Why do you want to pick a fight with me, without even having an idea about the extent of my abilities?
