An Unlikely Meeting

Ritsuzen · An Unlikely Meeting

Ritsuzen managed to get to a village where he could some medical treatment for the injuries that he had received from a missing ninja trap. A passing villager saw Ritsuzen and went over to help him. He let Ritsuzen lean on his shoulder as he took him to the village’s doctor for treatment. The doctor did sew and bandage Ritsuzen’s wounds up and told him to rest and the wounds will heal in time. Ritsuzen was feeling a little hungry and went to get some food right quick and he would find a place to rest later. He left the building thanking the two men for all there help and walked down the dirt street to a little rest restaurant.

Ritsuzen sat down at a table and looked at one of the waiters. “A order of fried eel, please.” Ritsuzen said calmly to the waiter. While he was waiting for his order he wondered if leaving that battle was the right thing to do. Well right or wrong he didn’t feel bad about doing it at all. He had no way of fighting that enemy ninja and would only get in the way.

Jin

After traveling for a while, him and his companions were tired. Three mist genin were traveling to sound village to learn about the village that owns them. Jin wasn't to found of people owning him, so he was going to sound to just do a little research. It couldn't hurt to have friends in different nations, you never know when you would need help. Him and his brother had found another companion, one who seemed willingly enough to go oto. Jin really didn't know anything about him, he didn't share much of himself. As long as he was going with them, it didn't really matter, Jin just needed a third so they could depart.

Upon arriving in a little village, apparently not far from the village hidden in the sound. He turned back from to his fellow mist ninja. " Hey guys, I'm kinda hungry why not stop here. " Jin turned to the little restaurant and entered, and he walked up to a little bar. " Excuse me sir, I'd like a some spiced seaweed and some chicken and rice." Jin smiled at him and he reached for his wallet trying see if he would have enough.

Shin

Shin sighed as his brother mentioned he was hungry, honestly after his last training session with his mistress(in a non sexual way XD) Shin sighed and looked around the restaurant as he entered his eyes quickly shifted and blue slash went down his eyes the male smirked he was glad that for once his Ryuugan was being put to use before anyone could notice Shin. "Jin there is only three people of concern one being the kid that is traveling with us."

Turning around Shin sighed and looked at his back he was still wearing his black no sleeve cloth shirt his pants were long and baggy and there was a leather covering on the front of his right leg wrapping around. On his back was a large sword that was orange and black on his arm there was a pich for seon and under the cloth covering there wre two places where his Waka and tanto was.

"Ya know I really hate this dirty village its bright and its annoying I ought to show them what my mistress has taught me" Shin said with a grin as he turned to the waiter. "I want three glasses of water a bowl of rice,and steak in the same bowl.

Darkness

After a long day of traveling with the two people he didn't know all that well, they all stopped to get some food and rest, Darkness stayed silent the whole way. Darkness walked into the building and stopping in the middle of the room, as the other went to the bar, he watched them with a strange dark glare. Reaching into his kimono his eyes seemed fixed on the man infront of Shin. Darkness pulled a kunai out and without warning or anything he threw it, the blade flying by Shin's head, so close a few strans of hair fell. The kunai hit a glass jar dressed in a drown paper-bag. Th jar began shaking as Darkness walked over, going behind the counter he grabbed the jar and took the top off, reaching in he tilted his head. Darkness pulled out a small guarden snake. The glass fell to pieces and Darkness removed the kunai from its back. Walking back outside with the snake in hand Darkness eyes seem to lose the strange venom like glare.

He threw the snake out into the yard, then sat down. A large cobra slithered down out of his right sleeve and hit the ground. It made its way over to the guarden snake, and then stroke quickly. Darkness watched the cobra take the guarden snake over and devour it. He watched as the cobra took its time eating the smaller snake.

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen get his plate of eel and picked up his chopsticks when three strangers entered the restaurant. Two of them made their orders as they came in and sat down out the bar. The smallest among them remain silent and with out warning pulled out a kunai and threw it. Everyone in the restaurant stopped what they were doing and stared at him as me moved behind the bar and picked up a snake. Ritsuzen and some others watched him watched out of the restaurant to feed the snake to a pet cobra. Ritsuzen went back to his own meal and started eating the eel. So they are ninjas. I hope they are not here to start a fight.

Ritsuzen wondered if the two at the bar might would try something, for one of them seem like the type to start trouble. The first one who entered seem to be calm and peaceful unlike the second one. The third one just seemed to be the silent but unpredictable type. But one ore thought just hit him while he had his mouth full of the cooked eel. He just remembered he was still wearing his Sound forehead protector and it could cause a fight to break out. He just had to hope the three wouldn’t notice him removing or are hostile to his village.

Jin

"Darkness calm down, people are trying to eat." Jin smirked and looked around the room, as he was serving his saw another guy take off a forehead protector. As he was putting it away he saw the symbol of sound. Jin always kept his head band on his left arm, so the other ninja wouldn't have been able to see the village he was from. Taking it off his arm, he tied it to his head symmetrically. Going to his food he began to eat, the people seemed afraid of them and some were leaving.

As he was done, he turned over to the ninja across the room. Perfect a ninja from sound, with him we should be able get to the village. I wanna know who is so powerful that we are under their control. Standing up he had a smile on his face as he turned back to his brother Shin.

"I'll be right back" he said as he walked over to the sound ninja. "Hey I noticed your forehead protector. Your from sound right? Well we are genin from mist journeying to sound, you think you could help us out?..... Wait where are my manners, I am Ryuu Jin." Holding out his hand to greet the ninja from sound.

Shin

Shin watched his brother take off to meet the other ninja honestly Shin was annoyed he was trying to eat his food but watching everyone start leaving in mass groups made him worry. "Okay what the hell are you people planning!" Shin stood up and grabbed the large Blade from his back and threw it at the door unlike his brother shin kept his headband on his right arm, and it had "Ryuu" etched into it. "I cannot stand being in this village everything is so bright and the people are always moving if one more of you poor bastards try and leave...I wont let you live." Reaching into his pouch the young Genin took out two sebon and used them as chop sticks to eat his rice and steak. "Damn that sound ninja if he doesn't become useful he'll get burned."

Shin was normally calm its just that being in this other village that was so much different than his home was starting to irritate him it had taken him a bit of time to realize, but it finally caught him a few strands of his blond hair was cut quickly turning Shin was holding the rice steak bowl in his hands. "You cut my hair you are going to die if you make a mistake like that again and heres an example." Flipping through a few hand signs the male smirked as water gathered around the cobra's neck and then its entire body crushing down on it. "Water weights." Shin was very pissed and wasn't for showing off anything more. "Next time you do something so foolish I'll kill you!" Taking a deep breath the young boy rolled around,and sighed his eyes were looking at the female across from him she seemed a bit terrified. "Please forgive me miss I am not used to traveling to other villages I am just a bit thrown off." He told the truth but if he kept going like this maybe the place will be torched.

Darkness

Darkness watched the snake die from the water, smilling as the life left its eyes. Looking over he noticed Shin was now talking to some girl. Darkness stood up and two snakes slithered across his chest, shifting around inside his kimono. He picked up the dead cobra and walked over to Shin, with a black stare. He dropped the lifeless animal in the genin's food and pulled out a kunai. Looking at the girl he smiled, his face was cruel and it was easy to tell he wasn't thinking of cutting her hair. Darkness placed the blade to Shin's neck, and whispered. "If you hurt my animals ever again, I'll kill you in your sleep." Darkness looked over to Jin and the sound ninja just before walking off back outside to wait on them. Darkness kicked the door down, the sword and all fell to the ground, the owner looked at Shin with a pissed off look. "YOU OWE ME A NEW DOOR!!...You ninja's are careless and stupid, all of you are!..You pay what you owe, including the door and then you finish and leave!." He had a buchers knife in his other hand. Darkness kept walking til he have gotten a good distance from the town.

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen was hoping that they didn’t see his forehead protector but they did and one of them came over. He asked nicely if he was from sound and that that they needed help. Jin put his hand out as a greeting. Ritsuzen didn’t what trouble and didn’t want to offend the ninja so he shook his hand. Ritsuzen knew it wasn’t good to lie and cause a fight because he was still suffering from his earlier injuries. “Yes, I am from Sound” Ritsuzen said calmly. “But sadly I can not take you there so your journey ends here. Sound is at the moment not able to see neither visitor nor wants anymore. The village is in a statue of combat. If you go there you will surely die.”

Ritsuzen now looking at Jin’s partners as they started to get into it with each other. Ritsuzen didn’t like being around troublesome people like that. If they started fighting Ritsuzen wasn’t sure if he could break them up from trashing the place. He was tired of this and you could see it in his eyes. “Jin could you please control your partners.” Ritsuzen said now looking back at him.

Jin

"I don't think you understand me I am from the village hidden in the mist. If I wanted to go to sound I could, I was asking you to see if there was a faster route then describe by my village. If you don't wanna help me thats fine, but find your own way to calm these guys down."

Jin turned around and placed some money near his eaten food. He was over paying by only a little, but it wasn't much of a big deal. Even though the door way was crushed, Jin walked over to it a pressed against the debree. Then walking pass it he jetted off to a safe distance, he wasn't going to be a casualty of this soon to be battle. This should be interesting, I guess I'll get to learn a little about this kids fighting style.

Shin

Shin stared at the boy as be walked away in his mind he could imagine flames. "I may need to do this to make me feel better forgive me." Shin grabbed his sword and placed it in his sheath. "Great fire ball technique." Shin took a deep breath and released a giant fireball at the resturaunt and walked away he knew that everyone would make it out, but he wanted them to know he looked back at the Sound ninja that would escape and smirked "I left them a large bag of money it should repair half their shop." Turning away he smirked. "My name is Ryuu Shin." With that said he walked away but not before he threw a sebon at Ritsuzen.

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen looked confused when Jin ran out but was relieved when Shin walked out. But when he head Shin say ‘Great fire ball technique’ a look of horror come over Ritsuzens face. In a few seconds the whole place was on fire and everyone ran out in a panic. Ritsuzen quickly put on his Tekagi and ran out with the rest. He saw the sebon thrown by shin at him and deflected it with his Tekagi. Ritsuzen was trying to avoid this but that mist ninja wanted a fight.

Ritsuzen told this moment to take his forehead protector and tied it around his left arm. He did that to show honor to his village. Ritsuzen pulled out a kunai that had tied his wire at the end of it and threw it at shin aiming for his sword arm shoulder joint. “Lets see what you mist ninjas are made of.” Ritsuzen said playfully with a warm smile.

Jin

Because the kunai wasn't directed at him he saw the gleam of the wire. Jin quickly shot to it with his own kunai and cut the wire and yanked it up. Jumping up he grabbed the kunai in the air and twisted throwing it back. Landing he was smirking at him, he could barely take on one of us his chance were nothing against both. I guess I'll have to show the might of the Ryuu clan. This battle should be over shortly, after him I'll deal with Darkness.

This all shot through his mind as the bottom of his foot just touched the ground. Shooting off he charged Ritsuzen, his speed was far above an average genin. He kept his water weights on his wrist and ankles and he showed amazing speed. The kunai was really a distraction, as it came at him Jin was waiting for him to move just a bit and he would strike. In his mind he had it set, if Ritsuzen move just a bit he would start off with two lower kicks to weaken the legs. After that a barrage of precise punches directly towards the lower half of the upper body. If he could connect with enough strikes he would twist and thrust forward with a powerful kick.

Shin

Shin watched the two and simply smirked as he took off his time to relax he was much more calm now that he destroyed something that he thought was going to cause them alot of trouble but at this point Shin wasn't very sure if he should have jumped in the fight or not. "Jin need help?" Shin called out to his brother, but he still wanted to have a little fun of his own walking over to a small well Shin would grab the sword of chaos and smash it. "Okay here we go." Shin smiled as water started to flow around them. "Jin make this place a little more like home!" He called out knowing Jin and him could use the Ryuugan easier when it wasn't able to be seen by enemies.

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen didn’t think it would be Jin would be the one to stop his attack by cutting the wire and grabbing his kunai and throwing it back. Ritsuzen ducked down and rolled forward to avoid his own kunai. Ritsuzen watched at Jin charged him at a surprising high speed. Ritsuzen knew it was best to stay low to the ground to give Jin less of a target to hit. Ritsuzen was waiting to strike Jin with his Tekagi but first he had to received Jin’s attack for Jin to be open for Ritsuzen’s attack. Because Ritsuzen was squatting he was in a better position to block Jin’s low kicks. Jin’s punches could now only hit Ritsuzen’s upper part of his body which He was guarding wit both arms now. When Ritsuzen notice that Jin was now twisting into position to deliver a kick this was Ritsuzen’s opening for his own attack. Ritsuzen did a roll to the side of Jin that he was going to kick from and spun around just as he came out of the roll swing his claws to the leg that Jin had still on the ground. Ritsuzen was aiming to cut his calf muscle with his six inches blades on his Tekagi. If Ritsuzen did cut the muscles there that would bring Jin’s movements down.

Jin

Jin realized his attacks weren't working, Ritsuzen was smart Jin had several ways to dodge the strike. He decide to go with a certain way to show his enemy he drive to win against him. Because he had never put his kunai he used to cut the wire away he was going to add it to the defense. Dropping back he force the kunai down to stop the on coming claw, as he blocked it he looked directly into the eyes of Ritsuzen. Jin's eyes were widen with a look of a crazed man, he was extremely driven to win the battle. Landing on his back the young kiri ninja flipped off the ground, hopping backwards he then released at Ritsuzen. Ritsuzen was low to the ground this would slow down his movement, grabbing three shuriken in case his sound enemy was able to move he wouldn't move with caution.

"Your turn." Jin landed and looked at Ritsuzen as he would have dodge against the attacks and defend against Shin.

Shin

Shin smirked as he did a few quick hand seals and looked at them enemy a grin on his face as the water slowly started to cover their feet the entire ground was soaking with water every step could be heard. "This is going to kill." Shin was now in a calm state as the water poured a heavy mist started to set in when the field was completely covered. "Okay brother." Shin was ready to show the sound ninja why they were so dangerous. "Blade of the un-forgiven." he whispered Shin was using alot of chakra so from here on he would stay away from anymore chakra usage. Noting his brother had attacked from above,Shin dropped down and swung the large Sword as a way of attacking from below while his Ryuugan activated. "Better be careful never know when a fire ball may appear."

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen should have known that Jin would see a way to block against his attack. When Ritsuzen saw Jin’s expression of wanting this to be his victory, Ritsuzen couldn’t help but to fill over joy. This fight was becoming very fun for him and he never knew that battle were you could die in could be this fun. Shin seemed to be cooking some kind of jutsu up while he was over there by himself. But Ritsuzen couldn’t be worrying about what Shin was doing when he had his hands full with Jin. He had to keep Jin in his sights or he would leave an opening for Jin to attack. When Jin got back up from his flip and hopped backwards to throw his kunai Ritsuzen was able to block the kunai with his Tekagi. Since Ritsuzen was in a squatting position his legs were like springs and when Jin’s shuriken came flying at him Ritsuzen jumped high into the air but not before one of the shuriken entered into his shin. Ritsuzen landed in the same position that he was in earlier with a heavy mist was now filled the area. Ritsuzen knew this had to be the work of Shin and even heard the mist ninja say something to his brother. Shin came out of nowhere and was low to the ground when he swung his massive sword trying to cut Ritsuzen’s legs out from under him. Ritsuzen didn’t a back flip to dodge the attack but because of all the energy he had put in keeping up these movements Ritsuzen didn’t land o his feet right and went down to one knee. “Wait!” Ritsuzen said putting both hands up in the stop gesture. “We do not need to fight any longer. I know I can’t win against both of you and from what you said before Jin, you want to get to sound. I can take you and I know a short cut but right now is not the best time to go.”

Ritsuzen wasn’t just talking because what he said was true but because if by any chance they wish to keep fighting he needed a plan. Ritsuzen unstrapped his Tekagi and tied 10 feet of wire to each of his tekagi. He had less than 30 feet of wire now thanks to shin cutting some of it already. Even if the two brothers did notice what he was doing, Ritsuzen was sure they didn’t know what he was truly going to do. He was hoping they would not have to fight anymore.

Jin

Jin watched his brother attack Ritsuzen, he sound ninja would soon be dead if they wanted to continue. Also the fact that he was in the mist, he could no longer see Jin or Shin. Luckily for them they could see him clearly, looking at him he seemed to be setting up for an attack. Jin smirked he heard Ritsuzen talk of taking them where they wanted to go but he was still rearing to fight.

"If your going to surrender I suggest you do it without trying to form another attack. I can see now you wanna take me where I wanna go. If Shin wants to spare your life then I guess you can take us to sound. Also I don't care whats wrong with it I want to go there now! "

Shin

Shin sighed and activated another seal he created water weights and placed two in front of the shinobi's ankles and two in front of him. "Place your hands and feet in the cuffs and we will hault our attack." Shin said with a grin since he had already zoomed across the other shinobi and retrieved his blade. "Then show us the way to your village."

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen stared down at the water weights and looked back at Shin. “No. I’m not wearing that and you just have to accept that fact. It’s two against one anyway so you have nothing to worry about. I’ll take you but we have to take it slow and careful. Before I came to this village I was attacked by some unknown shinobi that was maybe a jounin. A fellow Sound chuunin fought him but I don’t think she made it.” Ritsuzen said to them. He turned around and started to walk off into the forest back towards his village. If they wanted to take the shortcut to the village they had to follow him and trust him. But Ritsuzen wasn’t about to put his life in danger just being of two muscle head mist ninjas couldn’t wait. He was going to go there at a slow speed so he could check for ambushes and traps.

Jin

Jin followed the sound ninja, he wasn't going check for ambushes. Ritsuzen was already looking and he was sure he could narrowly escape one if he was in an ambush. Keeping his distance from Shin in case of an ambush he was well prepare to defend one even if he was looking for them.

Ballian

(OCC: Don't mind me,i'm just your neighborhood hero...Not!)

Ballian sat in a tree somewhat higher then the few shinobi's below him as a sand clone came from behind a tree which looked like an actually Shinobi Like him,He grinned as it ran at the Sound shinobi and Punched at him as he was controlling his clone and smiled as he knew since most Jounin we're attacking the castle and two kiri Shinobi are following a Sound one he figured he'd do the pleasure of stopping them.

He watched as his clone attacked the oto Shinobi with his fist and then,The sound of a banjo as a similar looking person as the clone floated down,He was grinning still as he looked at the sand clone stop just inches before punching the sound shinobi as it dusted and the sand came back to Ballian.

He glared at the devilish looking sound ninja."Why are you leading shinobi's towards the Manison area when theres a war going on....Are you trying to kill them...because i don't like that...even though i'm not allies with the kiri i'd rather just kill you three."he focused chakra into his feet waiting for a explanation

Shin

Shin turned around and started to walk away from the Jounin it happened to be none of his business just from a good guess and tracks Shin started to head to the village hidden in the sound. Dragging the Sword behind him Shin made his way slowly, "come brother we have alot of ground to cover." Shin wasn't sure if the Jounin would leave them alone but he was sure as hell not going to stay around. Once again Shin activated the mist jutsu and took off.

Ritsuzen

Rituszen couldn’t do anything when the sand clone came at him for he was still a bit tired from that round with Jin and Shin. When Ballians sand clone stop his attack and returned to him Ritsuzen felt relieved. But still he didn’t have the energy to deal with a ninja from sand and knew he had to avoid a fight.

When Ballian asked him why he was taking two mist ninjas to the village while it was under attack, Ritsuzen knew just how to answer that. “They simply wish to go to the village and I warn them about it being at war. What happens to them when they get there is not up to me but the turn of events that will say if they live or die.” Ritsuzen’s answer was indeed true. He didn’t want to get this ninja angry and because since he was out here alone he could be a jounin. “What we do shouldn’t effect you in anyway so we will be moving along” Ritsuzen said this as politely as he could before following Shin.

Jin

Jin saw what was happening before his eyes and didn't know how to handle the situation. The ninja seemed to be quite strong and Jin wasn't sure even their combined strength could take him down. Jin wasn't sure if he wanted to battle this shinobi anyway, as the mist began forming around them Jin knew what to do. Darting off silently, he picked up Ritsuzen and dashed off to follow his brother.

"Ritsuzen its me" he whispered. Shin make some water clones to cover our path. Also thicken the mist a bit more.

Jin was hoping this would throw the ninja off, if not he still had another plan to at least have the ninja retreat. Even though someone in the current group would be severely wounded.

Ballian

Ballian smirked at the ninja started to create a mist then the instant that happened he started to clap at a slow pace as it echo'd through the forest but then stopped as he Created a burst of wind Made a hurricane as they sat inside the eye of it and he watched them."i suggest you don't try and touch the walls of my Wind...they hurt..."He smiled as the wind created."You try to use any water type jutsu's or that i'll make sure that you cannot leave the spots you stand."He said nicely.

He removed the headband From his shoulder and then took out the piece of string that held up his hair as it flowed down and covered hes back neck and eyes in a way as he looked at them,then he had a small glare in his eye as he then dug his hand inside his case and removed two burst knuckles and put them on,He took a taijutsu defense style pose with his 1 fist facing at them as his left leg did also and had his right fist and leg behind him.

He continued to look at them as the wind was still spinning as long he continued to keep his chakra like that and waited and then Noticed that his wind seemed different today and smiled."Well well...I guess the explosions in the Oto's village are raising my wind's Current higher and harder."He smiled,Then looked at them."Now you listen to me...You Either leave back to where you came from."He pointed at the sound ninja and Then pointed at the two Brothers."you two Head Back to the mist village...you don't.....You'll have to spend a couple days here in the nice dirt."he smiled with a grin."So which is it and oh don't try your mist again.

Shin

Shin wasn't really in the mood for anymore surprises and for them to be suddenly attacked by some random shinobi wasn't his idea of the perfect day feeling that they may be in danger the young kiri ninja released his Ryuugan which he had tried to refrain from doing for quite a while. "Jin move.Shin took off and pushed his brother away knocking the three of them under the tree tt was below the shinooi that had attacked. (We weren't really given a chance to react.
' After hearing the ninja complain about this and that he just walked a way a little bit and stared up at him with a contract in his hand. "We are here on a mission." it looked official and it said they were looking for a missing cat that was said to escape there.

Ballian

Ballian Blinked and Released the wind as he Felt the current of wind Of chakra flowing disappearing and he smiled as he decided that there wasn't any fighting going on in the distance and he looked at them with a Little sigh."well Your lucky today..."He Shook his head as he jumped back into the Bushes as he pointed to the thing running in the bushes as he was jumping.

as he jumped along back to the village and a long travel.

(OCC:have fun,heh...)

Ritsuzen

Ritsuzen wasn’t at all happy about jin picking him up, ballian attacking them or Shin knocking him over. When Ballian’s wind jutsu was over Shin walked towards ballian with a scroll and said they were on a mission. They never told him about a mission so it must have been a lie. He saw Ballian leave after saying something to them.

Ritsuzen get back up to his feet and looked at Jin and Shin. “We better get moving before he comes back or that explosion of wind attracts even more trouble for us.” Ritsuzen said calmly and started moving back towards the sound village. He was sure as they got closer they would be able to hear the battle going on there.

Jin

Jin stood up and began to follow them except he waited for a few seconds cause he was going to go full speed. After waiting for him to get farther he then toke off at full speed under the water weights.
